Gaston Lalande is alive and Public gets a say well, contrary to popular rumour on highway safety B A R RY CO U LT E R
Joseph Richard Gaston Lalande is very much alive, thank you very much. Rumours of Monsieur Lalande’s demise, as they say, are greatly exaggerated — but that hasn’t stopped them from spreading around the community with astounding speed. The long-time Cranbrook resident came by the Townsman office Friday to try to put an end to all the talk that he is dead. “I believe it started at the Elko
sawmill,” he said. “Someone started spreading the rumour that I was dead! “I think it was a mistake, but it’s still rude, it’s unprofessional!” Somehow, “people with big mouths” carried that rumour forward. Someone offered their sympathies Lalande’s brothers at church, to their consternation. Lalande even gave the staff at his dentist’s office a great shock. “I had an appointment, and
saw another man sitting in my chair,” Lalande said. “They’d cancelled my appointment — they thought I was dead. “They said ‘we’re sorry, sir, we thought you were deceased.’ They were even getting a (sympathy card) ready for my wife.” Lalande said the gossip had traumatized his wife. “And I’m traumatized too. I’m mad as hell.” We repeat: Joseph Richard Gaston Lalande is alive and well Gaston Lalande is very much and living in Cranbrook.

Rob Gay has been re-elected as Chair of the Regional District of East Kootenay board of directors for the coming year. It will be the Area C Director’s fourth year in the role. He took over from former Cranbrook mayor Scott Manjak after the November 2011 municipal elections. On Friday, Dec. 6, Area A director Mike Sosnowski put Gay’s name forward for the position. No other nominations were made and
Gay was unanimously elected. “I’m honoured to be given this position again and I will do my best to support the regional district,” he said. Meanwhile, Area F Director Wendy Booth was unanimously elected as Vice-Chair for the second year running. Booth was first elected to the role last December, taking over from Invermere mayor Gerry Taft. “I’ve enjoyed being the Vice-Chair for the past year and I think Chair Gay and I work well together,” she said.

Cranbrook’s mayor has formally invited Teck to set up a corporate office in Cranbrook. At the Friday, Dec. 6 meeting of the Regional District of East Kootenay board of directors, Teck’s Nic Milligan, manager of community and aboriginal affairs, gave a brief update on the resource company’s Elk Valley operations to the board. During comments after the presentation, Mayor Wayne Stetski told Milligan that Teck would be welcome to relocate executives from

its Vancouver and Calgary to a Cranbrook office. “Over the past two years, whenever I’ve had the opportunity, I’ve extended an invitations privately to Teck to locate a corporate office here in Cranbrook,” said Stetski. “Today I’d like to make it a public offer. I truly believe there are corporate people in Teck in both Calgary and Vancouver who would love to come live in the East Kootenays and here in Cranbrook.” Milligan pointed out that Teck does operate a small office in Cran-

Director Stetski said. Teck is welcome to set up an office in Elkford,” said McKerracher. Area B Director Heath Slee brought up a separate issue with Milligan: the traffic on Highway 3 travelling from Cranbrook and the South Country to the Elk Valley to work in Teck’s five mines. Slee asked if Teck was considering strategies to more effi-
ciently transport their employees to its operations. “Employee transportation is a living issue,” Milligan responded. “A lot of it is defined by various collective agreements. However, it’s a persistent issue that we revisit from time to time. I don’t know the current status of plans to move employees, but I appreciate your comments.”

USW reaches lumber, hospitality agreements Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff
The United Steelworkers union has reached a number of collective agreements that affect workers in the East Kootenay. The first agreement is with the Interior Forest Labour Relations Association (IFLRA), the second with the Kimberley Ski Resort and Trickle Creek Lodge. The deal with the IFLRA comes after two months at the bargaining table. The deal is a
five year collective agreement affecting Local 1-405 members at Galloway Lumber in Jaffray and Atco Lumber in Fruitvale. Doug Singer, president of USW 1-405, said this is the best outcome for the workers and the collective agreement. “We established a pattern with the Canfor negotiations and then we completed that pattern with the IFLRA,” Singer said. “So far the responses we’re getting are good.”
Singer said the union feels it’s a positive and fair collective agreement. “We addressed the issues around wage and pension and other benefits that we needed to,” he said. “I think it struck a very good balance.” Details of the tentative agreement won’t be released until the members involved, Local 1-405 in Cranbrook, Local 1-417 in Kamloops and Local 1-423 in Kelowna, get a look at the deal.
USW said the agreement is similar to others in the industry. For instance the Canfor agreement provides significant pay enhancements for tradesmen, improvements to health and welfare benefits and stabilizes the pension plan. It also strengthens contract language surrounding the use of chargehands — supervisors below foreman. The deal provides a signing bonus and percentage wage increases, as well as cash pay-
Coroners Service identifies victims of crash near Moyie RCMP
The B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man and a woman who died following a motor vehicle incident near Moyie on Dec. 5, 2013. The female was Lyla-Maria Arcilla Mortensen, aged 18, of Slocan, and the male was Joel Wil-
liam Drew Franklin, aged 19, from Winlaw. Ms. Mortenson was the driver and Mr. Franklin the passenger in a vehicle which went out of control and collided with a pickup truck on Hwy 3/95 about 24 km southwest of Cranbrook about 12:25 p.m. on Dec. 5.
Road conditions were noted to be very icy at the time. Both Ms. Mortensen and Mr. Franklin were deceased at the scene. The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate these deaths.

ments in the third, fourth and fifth years, rate adjustments for log scalers and carpenters, and help for apprentice travel and living out expenses. The other two collective agreements recently negotiated deal with the Kimberley Ski Hill and Trickle Creek Lodge. The deals were negotiated by two separate bargaining committees. USW Local 1-405 represents workers at both the Ski Hill and the Trickle Creek Lodge but they are separate agree-
ments and separate memberships. Both operations however are owned by Resorts of the Canadian Rockies (RCR). Both memberships still have to ratify the proposed agreements. “With the abundance of white stuff on the hill and the anticipation of the upcoming ski season, we were able to secure improvements in wages and benefits for our members at Kimberley Alpine Resort and a significant wage increase for our members at Trickle Creek Lodge,” said Jeff Bromley, finan-
cial secretary for USW Local 1-405. Bromley was also lead negotiator for the membership at both operations. He said with the downturn in the economy memberships at the ski hill and the hotel didn’t receive significant wage increases over that period. “With the economic outlook improving and the record amount of early season snow, the employer came to the table and we were able to negotiate some significant improvements for both memberships,” Bromley said.

Complaint filed against Fernie’s Tim Hortons Tamar a Hynd Fernie Free Press
A complaint has been filed with B.C. Employment Standards Branch against the owner of Fernie Tim Hortons by former employees Richard Pepito and Heidi Kibanoff. The couple was hired under Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program by Pierre Pelletier, owner of the Fernie and Crowsnest Pass franchises. Allegations include Pelletier making employees pay back a portion of their overtime wages to him in cash. Pelletier is also accused of charging employees the processing fees for renewing their temporary work permits, which according to regulations, the employer is responsible for paying. “We’re reviewing the allegations and can say that we are treating the matter seriously and are currently conducting a review in full cooperation with B.C. Employment Standards,” commented, Tim Horton’s Public Affairs Manager, Olga Petrycki. The East Kootenay Labour Council is assisting the couple with the case. Alex Hanson, executive for the Council said, “We were told they weren’t getting over-time on their regu-
lar paycheck. The employer would pay their overtime on a separate cheque, drive them to the bank to cash it, then ask for some of the cash back telling them it was for their own good. “The problem is the employers have too much power over their employees,” said Hanson. “They come here to obtain a better life and the employer is the gatekeeper. “The Labour Council is not going away until the owner makes it right.” Worker’s complaints made to the Employment Standards Branch can go through the four routes of resolution, mediation, adjudication and/or penalty. Pepito and Kibanoff’s case is scheduled to go before an adjudicator on Feb. 13, 2014 in Kelowna. At that time, penalties may or may not be levied. “We have been cooperating since the allegations have come up and are continuing to fully cooperate with B.C. Employment Standards,” said Kristine Hovind–Pelletier, Pierre Pelletier’s wife in a statement to The Free Press. There are currently 12 Filipino employees at the Fernie Tim Hortons working under a Temporary Worker Permit.

Fernie couple describes rescue at accident scene near Fernie Tamar a Hynd Fernie Free Press
A casual glance in the rearview mirror led a young Fernie couple rushing to help Richard Altvater save his family. On December 1 the couple were driving home from Kimberley on Hwy 3. The roads were slushy with two tire tracks and a berm in the middle of the road so they were driving below the speed limit. They were the only ones on the road until the girlfriend noticed a minivan travelling behind them in the rearview mirror. She glanced in her rearview mirror again in time to see the van launch off to the right of the highway and begin to lift as if it was about to flip. At 1:54 pm the boyfriend called Emergency Medical Services (EMS) before they had even turned their car around. EMS had the boyfriend relay the accident location, while the couple followed the tire tracks in the snow. They found the vehicle upside down in a beaver pond eight kilometres west of Fernie. It was all reaction at that point. The boyfriend ran down the bank breaking through the ice into waist deep water. He fought his way to the van, going to the passenger side first as it was higher out of the water. The girlfriend started flagging down traffic passing by on the high-

The Altvater family from Coaldale, Alta., were travelling in their minivan on Sunday, Dec.1 near Fernie when their vehicle skidded off Highway 3 and into a branch of the Elk River. way. A mother and daughter stopped, so the girlfriend gave them her boyfriend’s phone to continue relaying information to EMS. Then she made her way to the van too. The boyfriend went to the front passenger door first but it wouldn’t open. The door handle was submerged in the black and murky water. He tried the passenger sliding door and it opened all the way. The van was full of water except for a six-inch air pocket at the top. He could see Richard who had managed his way into the back. He was yelling that he had a wife and three kids in the van. “There was zero visibility in the water so it was crucial that the father could communicate that to us because we couldn’t see a thing,” said the boyfriend. He tried the front passenger door again but it was stuck with all the mud. He went back to the back passenger side and “suddenly there was a little girl in my arms who was scared and in shock. Her dad must have gotten her free”. The boyfriend gave the little girl to his girlfriend
who brought the child up the steep bank where she gave the girl her down jacket and left her in the safety of a warm truck with a family who had stopped. “The dad never gave up,” said the boyfriend. “Richard couldn’t feel his hands anymore but we kept trying. He must have unbuckled his kids.” The boyfriend reached into the water with his arms as far as he could with water up to his neck when suddenly a boy was in his arms. He could see the boy was trying to breath as he carried him to shore wiping away the water coming out of his mouth. He passed the boy to his girlfriend who cleared the child’s airway. “I didn’t have time to think,” said the girlfriend. “Autopilot turned on. I needed to make sure each person was safe before leaving them. When one was okay, then I could go back (to the van).” The boyfriend called out for a knife to the several people who had stopped by then. He ran back down to the van and cut the front passenger seatbelt by
reaching around from behind the seat. He still couldn’t feel anyone in the dark water. He knew then he needed to get the passenger door open. “I started yelling for help to the people on the shore and two men rushed into the water to assist me,” said the boyfriend. The three men pulled on the door in unison as the boyfriend called out “one, two, three, pull” over and over, heaving the door open inch by inch until it was wide enough to reach inside. He finally reached the mother, Kunthea Altvater, and carried her to shore and up the steep slippery bank to the roadside. The couple performed two person CPR on her for approximately five minutes until EMS arrived. The girlfriend went in the ambulance continuing with assisted breathing on the mother, arriving at the Elk Valley Hospital at 2:35 pm. The boyfriend stayed to help EMS package the little boys on to spine boards and into the ambulances. Eventually he changed into a dry set of clothes he had in their car. He
was shaking violently and sat in the car to warm up before driving himself to the Elk Valley Hospital in Fernie to pick up his girlfriend. Then they drove home. “We’re so thankful that we do have first aid training and feel good that we could help,” said the couple. They both have Occupational First Aid Level 3. Looking back at the incident days later, the couple had a very clear reflection of the traumatic event. “The role of the father was crucial,” they said. “He (Richard) told us how many people were in the van so we knew who to look for and EMS could send several more ambulances and resources immediately. Plus the father’s familiarity with the van made all the difference. He was able to open the back door, pull the luggage out and unclip the rear seat to get at the youngest child in his car seat. “So many people gave assistance that day. People at the side of the road had blankets and clothes; the mother and daughter speaking with EMS.” Kunthea passed away after she arrived at the Elk Valley Hospital. Richard and their seven-year-old daughter Rachelle were treated for hypothermia and minor injuries at the Sparwood hospital and released. The two younger boys, Alex and Ben, were transported to Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary by air ambulance in severe condition. Ben has since been transported to an Edmonton hospital. The Altvater family is from Coaldale, Alberta.
January forum gives public a say Continued from page 1 Speed limits on longer stretches of rural highways between communities are being reviewed to ensure that appropriate speed limits are in place, encouraging safe driver behaviour. The public will also be asked to provide input on cutting down vehicle collisions with wildlife, improving the safe and efficient movement of slower vehicles,
and the use of winter tires. The public consultation will be paired with a technical review that is also underway, looking at new technology, highway design and similar initiatives in other jurisdictions. “I’m sure most people have an opinion on speed limits, and I encourage all British Columbians to make their voices heard,” said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone.
“We’re interested in what you have to say about the speed limits and other safety concerns on the highways you drive.” ICBC, RCMP, the Union of B.C. Municipalities are among other stakeholders being consulted. The review is expected to be complete next spring. For more information, visit w w w . g o v. b c . c a / s a f e t y a n d speedreview/.

Great detective has the answers
In response to the recent Janus series “Sherlock Holmes and the Mysterious Dr. Bell,” a Letter to the Editor arrives via ouija board Dear Sir, I trust you will find it in your heart to allow me to send you a letter to publish. A Mr. Cameron printed a column in your paper over the past two weeks concerning my, and my partner’s, skills in the area of detective work. I have risen to his challenge and have attempted to answer some of Mr. Cameron’s questions regarding a Dr. Bell who used to reside in Cranbrook. This letter has been transmitted by me to a present Cranbrook resident via his skill with the Ouija Board. This resident requests that his name remains anonymous as he feels he would be subject to ridicule, and accused of being a luddite, if it were known that he uses such a primitive method of communication but he does manage to get into the spirit of things without the need for “tweeting”, “texting”, “twittering” and that newfangled method of communication through something you call “The Internet”. Good old deduction and a magnifying glass have not let me down and still proved to be useful in this quest for information on Cranbrook’s Dr. Bell. Cranbrook’s Dr. Bell’s full name was John Henry Montgomerie Bell. He was born in Portobello, Scotland, on September 5th 1877. His parents were John Montgomerie Bell and Elizabeth Jane Bell (nee Simpson). He grew up with his parents, a brother and sister, and in 1881 at the age of three he lived at #55a Grange Road, Edinburgh. Mr. Cameron might be interested to know that in this house at that time there happened to also be a boarder by the name of Robert R.B. Watson. At the age of 13, John Henry Montgomerie Bell was still living with all his family at #55a Grange Road and Robert Watson appears to have moved on. In 1901, J.H.M. Bell is now a medical student living at 22 Princes Street, Edinburgh. By the end of the year he has graduated with M.B., Ch.B. and proceeded M.D. in 1907 and the diploma F.R.C.S.Ed in
1907 also. He joined the Micro-Chirurgical Society of Edinburgh of which a Dr. Joseph Bell was a past executive officer. After arriving in Cranbrook, by 1911 Dr. Bell had set up his Doctor’s practice in an office at #6 Armstrong Avenue. In 1912 he moved his office from here to a house on Norbury Avenue close to the MERC. He was appointed Health Officer to the schools, at a salary of $10 per month, and acted as Coroner to the district for some time. He was called upon to attend several unfortunate accidents in Cranbrook and Fort Steele during his time in this position. Dr. Bell took an active part in the life of a Cranbrookite at that time. He acted in the Cranbrook Operatic Society production of “The Society Girl”, a picture of this production being reproduced in a much later Courier of 1928. When government lands were thrown open for purchase, Dr. Bell sent over coffee for the many men in the lineup. aaaaa His job in Cranbrook was a demanding one and in 1913 he took a leave for three months to visit his mother in Scotland. The return journey was something to remember as the weather in the Atlantic was the roughest it had been for many years. On his return he submitted his annual report to Cranbrook City council stating that “the city is in an exceptional healthy condition.” “Over the past year there was one case of diphtheria, one case of scarlet fever, 2 cases of typhoid, three cases of tuberculosis, thirteen cases of measles and 14 cases of infant diarrheal diseases”. Dr. Bell remained committed to pushing for the need of the population receiving typhoid fever vaccinations. He purchased a new 5-passenger touring car in 1914 and quickly had to put it to use in driving to Kimberley on one of his coroner’s visits. In August of 1914, at the age of 37, Dr. Bell was one of the first Cranbrook contin-
gent to sign up to go to the front. He stated that he had already served for two years in the 42nd Highlanders. He sold his practice to Cranbrook Doctors King and Green and hoped that all his patients will consult them in the future. He signed up in Valcartier, Quebec, to enlist in the Canadian Army Medical Corps on September 23, 1914. During his enlistment it is noted that he is 5 feet 9 inches in height, has fresh complexion, grey eyes, and fair hair. During the war Dr. Bell sent a few letters to his friends in Cranbrook thanking them for gifts being sent to the soldiers at the front and also commenting on his work for the red Cross within the enemy’s lines. He reached the rank of Major very quickly. In 1922 Cranbrook Knox Church unveiled a memorial tablet to honor 60 men who had enlisted in the war. Dr. Bell’s name is included in this honor roll. Perhaps this memorial tablet is still in place? In February, 1925, Cranbrook residents Mr. And Mrs. Marshall, friends of John Henry Montgomerie Bell, received a notice sent to them by the Scotsman stating that Dr. Bell had died on December 27, 1924. at the age of 47 in Yorkshire at Killinghall, Harrogate. Dr. J. H. M. Bell was obviously an active member of the Cranbrook community during his stay there. He was also very active in the field of medicine having had appointments including house-surgeon to the Deaconess Hospital in Edinburgh, house-surgeon to the eye wards, house-physician to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and senior house-surgeon to Rotherham Hospital. Now, how are he and Dr. Joseph Bell of Conan Doyle fame connected? Well, when you talk of cousins everything is relative and that will require more deductive work and another Ouija Board session. Yours faithfully Sherlock Holmes

KIMBERLEY DYNAMITERS
Rockets, Nitehawks romp over Nitros TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Kimberley Dynamiters suffered a setback on the weekend, losing twice in a pair of games against the Golden Rockets and the Beaver Valley Nitehawks. The two losses drop the Nitros down into third place in divisional rankings—tied at 29 points with the Ghostriders—however, Fernie has a few games in hand, which gives them the edge. Kimberley scored the opening goal against the Nitehawks on Saturday night on home ice, but then Beaver Valley responded with five unanswered goals—two of which were shorthanded—to take the 5-1 win. Jason Richter got it done in the latter half of the first period, scoring his 14th goal of the season in front of the net on the powerplay after a great feed from Alex Rosolowsky at the point. However, that would do it for Kimberley’s offence. Ryan Edwards answered back for the Hawks, ripping a shot past Nitro goaltender Jeremy Mousseau 30 seconds into the second period on a short-

Special teams continued to hurt the Dynamiters in the third period, as Riley Brandt drew blood on another shorthanded goal and Braden Fuller scored on a Hawks powerplay. Dan Holland capped off the scoring in the final minute to end the game at 5-1. Mousseau had a
tough night with some shots he’d probably like to have back, making 27 saves in defeat, while Grayson Sharpe turned away 24 shots for the Hawks. Kimberley scored once in seven opportunities with the man-advantage, while Beaver Valley notched a goal in six powerplay chances. Earlier on Friday evening, the Rockets flew over the Dynamiters for a 4-2 win in
Golden. The Rockets struck early and held the Nitros at bay for most of the game to earn the win. Tanner Watt scored on the powerplay and Travis Kelley tallied in the final 30 seconds of the opening period for a 2-0 lead. Tristan Pagura responded on the powerplay early in the second period, but Golden capitalized with the
man-advantage on a goal from Braeden Allkins near the end of the frame. The two teams traded goals in the final period, with Bowen Alcock striking first for Golden, while Dallin Wolf answered back for Kimberley on another powerplay goal. Mousseau turned away 14 shots in defeat, while Rockets goaltender Brian Parsons made 26 stops.
Ice extinguish Blazers, fall to Rockets TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
A day after returning to the win column, the Ice were felled by one of the hottest teams in the CHL. Kootenay extinguished the Blazers for a 7-3 win on Friday to snap a three-game losing streak, but dropped a 2-1 decision to the Kelowna Rockets the following night. It was a close affair on Saturday night, as the Ice struck first, but were unable to hold on to the lead, which the Rockets evened in the second period, and stole in the last seven minutes for the go-ahead goal. Luke Philp struck first on a blast from the top of the circle during a Kootenay powerplay to put the Ice up 1-0 after the opening frame. Carter Rigby answered back for the Rockets at the halfway mark of the middle frame, using one hand to jab the puck across
the goal line while trailing the play. Heading into the final ten minutes of the last period, Myles Bell received a drop pass from Justin Kirkland in the Kootenay zone and wired a shot into the net. Mackenzie Skapski manned the crease for the Ice, making 28 saves, while Jackson Whistle stopped 30 shots for Kelowna. Tim Bozon had a four-point night in a triumphant return to Kamloops along with former Blazer teammate Landon Cross on Friday night, both of whom came to Kootenay via trade for Collin Shirley, Matt Thomas and draft picks earlier in the season. Kootenay picked up their first win of the road trip with an explosion of offence, as Bozon and Jaedon Descheneau both notched a pair of goals in a 7-3 win. Though Kootenay got off to a good start with two goals in the
first frame, they really put it away in the second, lighting the goal lamp four times. Descheneau tallied first with the man-advantage, and Bozon capitalized just a minute afterwards. Kamloops responded 40 seconds into the second period on a powerplay goal from Josh Connolly. The two teams then traded goals as Descheneau got another powerplay marker, and Cole Ully found the back of the net. Then the floodgates opened. Over the course of five minutes, Philp, Matt Alfaro and Bozon scored, the latter making it Kootenay’s third goal with the man-advantage for a 6-2 lead after 40 minutes. Zak Zborosky padded the lead for Kootenay, while Eric Krienke scored a late powerplay goal for the Blazers. Wyatt Hoflin picked up the win for the Ice, making 30 saves,
while Cole Kehler and Taran Kozun shared netminding duties, collectively stopping 19 shots. The injury bug has gone around a bit during the road trip, as Kootenay lost Ryan Chynoweth and Tanner Faith in Vancouver; the former took a hit in the corner and left the game, while Faith went down hard onto the ice and headed to the dressing room. Kootenay heads into Prince George for their final game of the road trip to challenge the Cougars on Tuesday night. The Cats have a under-0.500 record, seesawing from wins to losses like the Ice. Troy Bourke, Chase Witala and Todd Fiddler are the primary offensive threats, each with 30 points or more to lead the team. Ty Edmonds has gotten the lion’s share of starts, posting a 3.46 goals against average and a save percentage of 0.910.

Jones, Jacobs win curling trials, will represent Canada at Sochi Games
WINNIPEG - It was fitting that Brad Jacobs sealed his right to represent Canada at the Olympics with one more big-weight double Sunday afternoon, and he never even considered a less risky shot. “You’re throwing that double to win the game,” he said after beating John Morris 7-4. He said his third, Ryan Fry, told him it was coming. “Fry said it to me, ‘You’re going to have a double either way here and we’re playing it.’ So my mind was already wrapped around some big weight shot before I even threw it.” Jacob joins Winnipeg’s Jennifer Jones, who defeated Sherry Middaugh 8-4 Saturday night to win the women’s slot, the one prize that has eluded her in a championship-filled career. Jacobs went into the game as the favourite, after earning his final spot by sweeping the round robin seven straight with a hard-hitting, muscular, fist-pumping brand of curling that delighted the crowd. It’s also clean and near perfect when it counts. “That’s our style,” he said. With no hometown heroes left to root for Sunday at Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings (Jeff Stoughton and Mike McEwen were knocked out before the semifinals), the crowd switched it’s allegiance to the Jacobs rink.

Bruins coach says Thornton crossed the line in nasty Penguins game
TORONTO - The Boston Bruins arrived in Toronto hurting and expecting bad news. A suspension was hanging over forward Shawn Thornton, after his meltdown in Saturday night’s 3-2 win over Pittsburgh sent Penguins defenceman Brooks Orpik to hospital. Thonton, enraged at seeing several teammates injured in the game at TD Garden, is suspended pending an in-person disciplinary hearing. Forwards Loui Eriksson and Chris Kelly were both injured in the Pittsburgh game. Eriksson sustained a concussion after being hit by Orpik and did not travel to Toronto for the start of the Bruins’ four-game road trip. Kelly was placed on long-term injured reserve after breaking his right fibula against Pittsburgh. As for Thornton’s actions, Julien said his player will take his medicine. Thornton himself said he felt awful after the game. Pittsburgh’s James Neal was assessed a kneeing penalty for a hit on Brad Marchand that preceded Thornton’s sucker-punch attack on Orpik. Neal said later there was no attempt to injure. Canadian Press
US lands in tough group after World Cup draw
COSTA DO SAUIPE, Brazil - The United States will play Ghana, Portugal and Germany in a tough first-round group at next year’s World Cup that will take them on a lengthy 9,000-mile trip around Brazil. Making their seventh straight appearance at soccer’s showcase, the Americans were drawn Friday into Group G and will open on June 16 in Natal against Ghana, which eliminated the Americans at the 2006 and 2010 tournaments The U.S. meets Portugal and 2008 FIFA Player of the Year Cristian Ronaldo on June 22 in the Amazon rain forest city Manaus. The Americans close group play on June 26 in Recife against Germany, which beat the U.S. in the 2002 quarterfinal. “Difficult draw, but a group the U.S. can get through if they play well,” former U.S. coach Bruce Arena told The Associated Press.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a woman in my mid-30s, and think I may have been molested when I was young. I have little memory of my childhood up until age 13. But I do know that when my friends played with their Barbie dolls, they had her driving around, going on dates and dressing up pretty. I pretended she was having sex with Ken. Other kids played house, but I pretended to be the dad and would get on top of my younger sister and rub against her. When I was 14, I made out with my 8-year-old stepcousin until his mother caught me, and for years after, he refused to talk to me. When I was 16, I kissed my best friend’s 10-year-old brother. I don’t remember anything specifically. I only remember having a bad dream once that my dad molested me, and for years afterward, I didn’t want to be near him. Our relationship still feels kind of strained. I don’t know what to think anymore. What should I do? -- Bewildered and Worried Dear Bewildered: We would not presume to tell you what happened to you as a child, if anything actually did, or whether it involved your father. We suggest you seek therapy, although we do not recommend those who claim to specialize in “recovered” memories of abuse. This type of therapy is not reliable. Ask your doctor to refer you. Dear Annie: We have a family member who wishes for us not to contact him anymore. Both of his parents are deceased. What do we do? -- Upset Relatives Dear Upset: You must respect his wishes, even though it seems cruel. (We assume this family member is not under any type of duress from a partner who is trying to isolate him.) We would inform this relative that you will cease contact, as per his wishes. But add that you still care about him, and should he wish to resume contact, it always will be welcome. Dear Annie: “Little Sister in Need” told you about her abusive older brother, and you told her to “stop taking it personally”? She wasn’t talking about disagreements. She cited his being “verbally, psychologically and at times physically abusive.” You should have told her that what’s going on is abuse and, if he gets physical, constitutes domestic violence. She needs to talk to a domestic violence counselor and be alert for signs that he’s also abusing his wife and child. Odds are that he is. Abusers rarely limit themselves to just one victim. -- Judy Dear Judy: Many readers agree with you, but we did not get the impression that the current abuse is physical. Sibling relationships are complicated, and there is often physical fighting and hitting when siblings are younger. While we don’t condone such behavior, we also know that the physical side usually stops when the siblings reach adulthood. It does not necessarily carry over to his wife and child, nor does it seem so from her letter, although she certainly can investigate. The fact that her brother continues to harangue her verbally indicates that he has anger and control issues. He lashes out at his sister because this is the dynamic they have had for 20 years. If speaking to a therapist would be helpful for her, we agree that this is an excellent idea. However, it also would help if she changed her response to her brother, not only because it would force him to change how he speaks to her, but also because it could improve her perception of her own strength in his presence. He is intimidating her, and she needs to stand up to him in a way that empowers her without exacerbating the situation.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper 1. Advertise to Reach New Customers. Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.
2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting. You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.
3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.
4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.
5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.
6. Advertise to Generate Traffic. Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.
7. Advertise to Make More Sales. Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.
8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate. Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.
9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.
10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale. When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Starting Dec. 5 and for the next five weeks until January 7, Prairie Toyota is fueling its 2nd annual food drive to restock Canada’s food bank shelves for the new year. With 20,000 lbs. of food collected and donated last year to food banks across the Prairies, Prairie Toyota is looking to surpass that amount by nearly doubling the amount of time allocated to this year’s initiative. Each dealership will make a personal donation of $550.00 worth of groceries to help meet this year’s goal. Due to the significant drop in donations (food and cash) following the holidays, supplies at Canada’s food banks are at its lowest between Jan-April. To ensure 2014 is the year to serve those in need, Prairie Toyota dealerships want to replenish local food banks by collecting donations from now until January 7th. Bruce Smith of Alpine Toyota asks the community of Cranbrook for continued support in this initiative by bringing in a non-perishable food item to their local Prairie Toyota dealership. “We want to give the public a new perspective on hunger and continue to raise awareness of the need to restock our food bank’s supplies,” says Smith. “At Prairie Toyota, one of our greatest features is the ability to help fight hunger. Last year, we delivered 20,000 lbs. of food across the prairies
- this year, we want to feed even more in need.” According to Food Banks Canada, close to 900,000 Canadians are assisted by food banks every month; nearly half of food banks saw an increase in use in 2013 - a 21 per cent rise in the number of people coming to them for help throughout this year; and, the use of meal programs are 11 per cent higher than in 2012 (40 per cent higher than in 2008). Consider these local figures from Food Banks Canada’s HungerCount 2013: • Food bank use in B.C. saw a 20.4per cent increase in usage since 2008 • 94,002 people in B.C. were assisted by food banks in one month alone • 29.5 per cent of those assisted in 2013 were children “We were astounded by the amount of support and participation received during last year’s food drive,” said Smith. “This year, we ask our local community to come together once again and help us feed as many individuals and families in need as possible by restocking food supplies for the start of the 2014 and throughout the new year.” Anyone who brings in a non-perishable item at a participating Prairie Toyota dealership may enter for a chance to win a 2014 Toyota Tundra ($38,880 MSRP).
