Trailer park evacuated after fire cuts off electricity S A LLY MAC D ON AL D Townsman Staff

Residents of the Mesa Grove trailer park on Kootenay Street North in Cranbrook

have been left without power on the coldest day of the year after a fire on Tuesday, Feb. 4. According to the City of Cranbrook, 10 fire-

fighters were called to a fire at the property at about 7:50 p.m. on Tuesday night. “The fire was confined to a large electri-

cal panel located in a vault on the Mesa Grove property,” said Chris Zettel, corporate communications officer. The fire cut off power to the residents of all 52 mobile homes at Mesa Grove. “Responders went door-to-door to ensure

all residents were safe and aware of the issue. Residents were also advised that there would be no power for the night and likely most of the day Wednesday until the electrical panel was repaired,” said Zettel. Temperatures got

down to -31 degrees Celsius on Wednesday morning, so emergency officials set up an evacuation centre at the Heritage Inn. “Due to the very cold temperatures expected overnight and lack of heat in most residences, emergency officials ac-

tivated the Emergency Operation Centre which allows for the evacuation of those affected residents and allowed for the opening of an emergency shelter at the Heritage Inn,” said Zettel.

Bylaw sets stage for grow-ops A R N E PE T RYS H E N Townsman Staff

At Monday’s regular meeting, Cranbrook City Council adopted a bylaw that will enable medical marijuana grow operations (MMGOs) to operate within industrial zones, in anticipation of new federal regulations concerning licensing of MMGOS.

“This zoning amendment will prepare Cranbrook with zoning and land use recommendations in advance of the federal legislative changes for MMGOs, taking effect on March 31 of this year,” Acting Mayor Sharon Cross explained. The bylaw was given first and second reading on January 20.

The amendment was referred to the Advisory Planning Commission and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for approval and a public hearing was held on Monday. No members of the public spoke to it.

Marysville Arena fate to be voted on Tuesday C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin

As reported in yesterday’s Townsman/Bulletin, Kimberley City Council is grappling with the question of what to do with the Marysville Arena. A discussion and vote on the fate of the arena will take place at Council on Tuesday, Feb. 11. Mayor Ron McRae has already stated his opinion that the City should keep the arena open by upgrading the ice plant, and seek opportunities to increase revenues and find efficiencies. Some councillors have not made a final decision, and will wait until Tuesday to speak their piece. However, others believe the decision to not proceed with the $350,000 ice plant upgrade, though a tough one, has to be made. One of those Councillors is Don McCormick.

“The vote is — do we use taxpayer money to keep it open?” McCormick said. “All councillors believe the arena should be open, but the question is, how do you pay for it?” McCormick says the ice plant is only the tip of the iceberg. “The fact is, over one million dollars has to go into the Marysville Arena in the next few years,” he said. “The floor needs replacing as well as other repairs. “It is unfortunate that the issue has turned into an emotional one. That’s because, one: it’s a perceived reduction in service, and two: it involves kids.” The problem, McCormick says, is that the City of Kimberley is facing a long list of priority projects. “Marysville Arena is not the only one. We have money committed to the Sun Mine, the flume and there is only

so much money. Looking at Marysville Arena in isolation is unfair to the taxpayer.” McCormick says that going ahead with repairs to the arena will place a burden on taxpayers. “It is unfortunate that we are focusing on a single solution. Look at the curling rink. It was condemned a few years ago. But we had a community group that partnered with the City and figured out ways to get grants. It wasn’t all on the backs of the taxpayer. That’s a model that works.” McCormick says that the demand for infrastructure and services is greater than the taxpayer can support. As for Tuesday night’s vote, McCormick says, “I am unequivocally not in favour of the taxpayers of Kimberley footing the whole bill. “I’m not talking about tearing it down, I’m talking about find-

ing partners and grants. If we can maintain it in a way that is affordable – fantastic. I hope we can find a solution, but not on the backs of taxpayers.” Councillor Albert

Hoglund disagrees with McCormick. “I agree with Mayor McRae,” he said. “If we shut down the Marysville Arena it will be disastrous. It’s a multi-use, 12 months a year facili-

ty. Why would we shut it down after we just spent $200,000 on the building to house the ice plant? “The easiest time to shut it down would have been when Cominco

closed and we lost 52 per cent of our tax base. But we didn’t, we struggled through and now almost all that tax base is back. “Shutting it down doesn’t make sense.”

Local issues laid out for Farnworth Prominent NDP MLA seeks input ahead of provincial budget process

Barry Coulter

The NDP MLA for Port Coquitlam came through the Cranbrook and Kimberley area on Wednesday, Feb. 4, on an information gathering trip in advance of the upcoming session of the B.C. Legislature and the government budget process. Mike Farnworth, the Opposition Critic for Finance, hosted a breakfast at St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino, to get some public input into what British Columbians want to see addressed in the budget. “My job as critic is to get a better understanding of what people want to see in the budget,” Farnworth said. “In this province especially, one size does not fit all. This is a province of regions, with different issues and challenges. If we’re going to have a strong economy, we’re going to have to take notice of what’s going in the different regions.” Farnworth, who is widely considered to be the frontrunner for the upcoming BC NDP leadership contest, was in the company of Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald. The breakfast was attended by representatives of local city governments, chambers of commerce and financial institutions, as well as representatives of small businesses, the Kimberley Food Bank and Fort Steele. Kathryn Teneese was there on behalf of the Ktunaxa Nation. Farnworth said he was looking for a sense of the challenges and opportunities different regions are facing, and things government is doing to spark activity. Certain trends were discussed, among them the difficulty of attracting investment in local businesses. Mike Guarnery, manager of the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce, said it was important to “make people aware that these are communities worth investing in, and over the long-term to support our long-term goals.” Guarnery said a recent business survey indicated an influx of new residents from larger urban areas to the Kimberley area, as well as many young families moving back to the region. And while it was acknowledged that business, particularly small business, was the backbone of local economic infrastructure, economics could not be separated from social issues. Diane Baher, with the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce, noted that there are a lot of entrepreneurs in Cranbrook — “Cranbrook is a self-employed town,” she said. She added that there was an influx of seniors moving to Cranbrook, largely because of the regional hospital. “It is important not to let our eyes stray from the fact that there are three-, four-, fivehour wait times at emergency.”

Mike Farnworth at St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino, Wednesday, Feb. 5. Farnworth wanted to hear more about the key social infrastructure and economic infrastructure needs and gaps. Cranbrook City Councillor and Acting Mayor Sharon Cross listed several of the challenges Cranbrook is facing. These included health care issues — “there must be a way to encourage the medical profession to move to Cranbrook and stay here,” she said. “Finding creative solutions in the health care system is essential.” Local affordable child care is an issue, she added, and the deer cull is an ongoing, divisive topic — “We’re looking for more tools (from the province) to address the problem,” she said. Housing is a huge concern in Cranbrook, Cross said. “We have a number of facilities that house low-income, seniors, the disabled and the at-risk. But the waiting lists are twice as long as we can accommodate.” Cross said Cranbrook is also looking for solar and alternative energy initiatives, that could also serve as economic generators — a community greenhouse was one such example. Kimberley Mayor Ron McRae talked about the challenges and successes Kimberley has had transitioning from a mining town to a more diversified community, with an emphasis on tourism. The replacement of the Mark Creek flume is an ongoing challenge, he said, particularly in terms of getting funding. Kathryn Teneese spoke about the need to think broadly, in terms of the region as a whole, rather than just community by community.

“It was really useful to get a sense of the broad picture but also the issues that are important to people,” Farnworth told the Townsman after the session. He reflected on the need for economic diversification in the smaller communities, and the province as a whole. “The province is making a big deal around LNG,” he said. “Certainly LNG is a big opportunity — but at the same time we need to make sure all those components that make up a diversified economy are getting the attention they need, whether it’s tourism, technology, the service sector, mining or forestry, you name it. Because there isn’t a silver bullet, one thing that’s going to suddenly give us the revenue we need. It’s diversity that will do that.” Farnworth said he’s also looking forward to an interesting session of the Legislature, which begins February 11. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had a session. I’m looking forward to a very full session,” he said. “I imagine there will be a fair bit of legislation, there will be the budget — we’ll be scrutinizing that. We’ll be doing our job as opposition, being able to hold the government to account for its actions, and, just as important, its statements. It’s been saying an awful lot of things, and the question is, is there action happening?” Farnworth was asked when members of his party are going to start stepping forward to contest the NDP leadership, replacing Adrian Dix. Farnworth at this point would be considered a frontrunner. “I still think its a little ways away,” Farnworth said with a smile. “It’s in September, so there’s plenty of time.”

Bylaw sets stage for medical grow-ops Continued from page 1 The report indicated that there had been one general inquiry about the potential zoning changes. On January 29, the Ministry approved the proposed zoning amendment. The advisory commission also met and approved the plan. Council members didn’t speak to the bylaw at the meeting. Mayor Wayne Stetski and

Coun. Denise Pallesen were absent. The federal government is introducing the new legislation as a result of Health Canada recommendations. The new decentralized, commercial-scale production by private entrepreneurs comes as a major shift from the current policy, from 1999, which authorizes people with prescriptions for marijuana to

grow up to 50 plants in their homes to meet medical needs. The federal government designated some of the growers to grow for up to four people, or up to 200 plants. According to a newsletter in the agenda package, the number of people licensed to possess marijuana grew from 477 in 2002 to nearly 22,000 in 2012. Health Canada projected it would grow to 50,000 by

2014. According to the report, the current approach has lead to degraded residences which were not designed to be used as greenhouses. The new approach transfers much more of the decision making over to the municipal government, whereas before the municipality would be in the dark as to where the medical marijuana grow-ops are currently located.

Residents put up at Heritage Inn after fire Continued from page 1 About 30 residents of Mesa Grove stayed at the Heritage Tuesday night, arranged by Emergency Social Services (ESS). “Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services wish to note the incredible support of the ESS through Anita Charest at the Regional District of East Kootenay and her team. It was greatly appreciated,” said Zettel. Residents dealt with the situation well, he went on. “Officials also acknowledge the resilience, understanding and helpfulness of the residents of Mesa Grove

during the event. No one had any complaints, all were very understanding of the issue and many residents assisted responders in notifying other residents of Mesa Grove of the fire and the emergency shelter.” The owner of the complex met with insurance providers Wednesday, and the insurance company will take over to look after residents’ needs. No cause or damage estimate is currently available. Officials were on the scene Wednesday to conduct an investigation.

Volunteer hosting the world at Canada House Continued from page 1 “I am a big supporter of Olympism,” she said. “As a teacher, every time there has been an Olympics, I always find a way to teach the basics of Olympic values. I really believe in the movement. I believe in the Olympic values of striving for excellence and doing one’s best, and an equal playing field without drugs.” In fact, Olympic values run in Ward’s blood. Her sister, Joy Fera, also from Cranbrook, represented Canada on the women’s rowing team at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. “We grew up with older cousins who have been Olympic athletes, so it runs in my mother’s side of the family,” Ward added. Her second cousin David Steen won bronze in the decathalon in Seoul in 1988, at a time when doping of athletes was widespread. “He knew that he won that bronze cleanly – he pumped the iron, he worked really, really hard and that’s what was important to him and our family,” said Ward. “I will always remember that phone call that he had won bronze. It was special.” The Sochi Olympics will be the sixth Olympics that Ward has attended. In 1976 she watched her sister compete in Montreal. In 1988, she worked at the ski school at the Calgary Olympics. In 1996, Ward, her sister and nieces attended the Atlanta Olympics

“I really believe in the movement. I believe in the Olympic values of striving for excellence and doing one’s best, and an equal playing field without drugs.” Valerie Ward as spectators. “My most memorable Olympic moment was when Donovan Bailey won Olympic gold in the 100m in Atlanta in 1996,” said Ward. “My sister and I and her two daughters were in the stands. I actually lost my voice that day, yelling and cheering for him. It gives me goosebumps to think about. It was just so exciting when he grabbed the Canadian flag and ran around the track. It was just phenomenal – it’s something I will always remember.” In 2002 at Salt Lake City and in 2010 in Vancouver, Ward prepared the alpine ski courses with a ski racing group called the Whistler Weasel Workers. Her biggest thrill at the Vancouver Olympics was watching the bobsledding. “I went to watch bobsledding and I found it particularly exciting because the stands are really close to where the athletes finish their run, and it was like a United Nations of families and

supporters of the bobsledders,” she said. “It was intimate – you were right there. It was just thrilling.” Now Ward is preparing for a month’s stay in Sochi, and some of the intricacies of travelling to Russia. “My hotel reservation is a five-page document. It says things like they will supply water and electricity – isn’t that nice to know?” she laughed. She is conscious of terrorism threats in Sochi, but it won’t prevent her from going, Ward insists. “I’m concerned, but it’s not enough to stop me from living my life,” she said. “You have to take that chance. We have to live our lives, and I’m not going to let the threat of a terrorist attack ruin something as important as the Olympics.” Ward said she admires athletes not just for their physical strength but also their mental strength. “At that level of competition, there is also that mental ability that can handle stress and changing situations so well. I have the utmost respect for that. Because anything can happen in competition and usually does, and how does someone rise above that and get beyond that? “When you are looking at that fine tuning of the mind and the body, I always find that really encouraging to be the best that we can ever be, in whatever we are doing in our lives.”

Cranbrook cool to Elk Valley waste dumping proposal A r n e P e t rys h e n Townsman Staff

Cranbrook Council gave clear directions to its representatives on the Regional District of East Kootenay board to reject an offer made by Elk Valley directors which would see solid waste from that region accepted at the Central Subregion landfill. Council made itself clear on the issue at its regular meeting Monday, Feb. 3. The proposal came to the RDEK board in January, asking that Elk Valley solid waste be accepted at the regional landfill for the all-inclusive rate of $50 per tonne for five years. Cranbrook’s representatives on the board, Mayor Wayne Stetski and Coun. Bob Whetham, were seeking direction from council. Mayor Wayne Stetski was absent from Monday’s meeting. City administration found some issues with the proposal, not least of which was that the Central Subregion landfill has a certificate that accounts for

25,000 tonnes of waste each year. Wayne Staudt, the city administrative officer, said at the moment there is already 23,000 going in, without taking in the estimated additional 9,000 tonnes from the Elk Valley. “We would be over our certificate allowance amount, so that needs to be adjusted before you can even take any of this additional waste,” Staudt said. Coun. Gerry Warner said making a decision in favour would be premature. “I think it was stated that it didn’t make any sense to be jumping into this right now, not knowing all the implications,” Warner said. Coun. Whetham said the initial discussions have been going on for a while, but were informal. Initially the tipping fee was suggested to be comparable to what is being paid by the Elk Valley to dispose of their waste in Alberta. “That’s come back as a revised option to reduce that amount to $50, from $63,”

Whetham said, adding that the real telling part was in the memo from the regional district. He was referring to a line that reads: “The $50 per tonne rate for dlsposal of waste at the Central Landfill would be ‘all inclusive’, meaning that any obligation for future closing and monitoring of the landfill, opening new trenches or any other ‘new’ cost related to the landfill would be recognized as having been paid as part of the tipping fee.” “Also, there would be no increases to the tipping fee for five years, so we had no idea what cost this thing will ultimately come to,” he said. “The other thing is, it’s going to be a matter of time before we aren’t going to be able to dispose of stuff by digging a hole or burning things, so we’re going to have to probably look at something a bit more sophisticated. Such as they are now doing in Europe.” He said the Solid Waste Management Plan does need to be reviewed anyway.

problems to solve in the next 24 hours or so. But Putin doesn’t want the world focusing on the negative. He wants you to focus on the positive, namely himself. We all know Putin sees himself as hero material. He is constantly showing the world pictures of himself performing daring deeds of macho accomplishment — from hang gliding to hunting to playing hockey. That’s the image he wants the world to have of him, the master of all he surveys. Tsar of land where men are men and women are women — which is causing problems of another sort for these Games. Putin’s anti-gay stand is less than popular with almost all the countries sending athletes to these Games. A joke making the rounds is that the motto of these Games is “Faster, Higher, Straighter.” That’s the real problem for Putin — jokes. If there is one thing he doesn’t want to be, could not bear to be, it’s being the butt of a joke. And when the lead in to your Games — the Games you are stamping with your name — is any number of jokes about poor quality accommodations, corruption and what appears to be complete mismanagement of a giant project, that’s a problem. A Putin-sized problem. Even if Putin leads in the Russian athletes, shirtless, astride a white steed, I don’t think #Putinistheman is going to be trending on Twitter.

Social media solves missing boy case

A recent media release put out by the Cranbrook RCMP received over 15,000 page views in a very short period of time. The police were seeking information on the whereabouts of a missing 12-year-old boy. Police turned to Facebook and Twitter to get the word out. The release was posted on the Cranbrook RCMP media webpage (cranbrook. bc.rcmp.ca) just after 9 p.m. Thursday, and disseminated via Twitter (@KimberleyRCMP). The release was also posted on just one police officer’s personal Facebook page. Fourteen hours later the boy was found. By that point, the release had been shared 96 times through social media and viewed over 15,000 times. Social media played a huge part in locating the boy. Although police learned

through the course of their investigation that the boy was not in danger, the potential was there. That potential exists every single time a person goes missing, and police always need to act quickly. The release was sent out not only on the RCMP’s page, but also through Facebook and Twitter. As a result, the readership increased exponentially – and immediately. Social media has unquestionably become the platform used to disseminate news quickly, and to a massive audience. News sources around the world use Facebook, Twitter and other venues to spark interest in their stories. Law enforcement is also now using the medium to reach out to the public. Releases about important news stories, missing persons and alerts can be sent out to a huge number of people within minutes. People are now expecting news and information instantaneously. Police have learned that over 70 per cent of the page views for the missing

boy were on mobile devices. That fact carries weight once you realize, most of those people are not at home, sitting in front of a computer. They are out and about. Essentially, they become our “eyes on the street.” Of the 96 shares of the release on the missing boy, 90 of them were on Facebook. That release was only posted on one person’s page to start with, meaning only friends of the page owner would have seen it. Yet, the ‘snowball effect’ exploded. Shared by just one person, the information reached hundreds within mere hours. It’s easy to marvel at this new age of instantaneous reaction. It’s incredible to think that this week Facebook turned 10. Who can imagine what will it be like in another 10 years? The one thing we do know is Facebook, and other social media, have become invaluable tools when it comes to sharing information. Cpl. Chris Newel Kimberley/Cranbrook RCMP

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of February 2-8 Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1900 Cranbrook to the Front … She Sends Over Half the Quota for Strathcona’s Horse. The boys get enthusiastic send offs from all the towns in the district. South East Kootenay is all right, in patriotism as well as in everything else. When the call came for volunteers, and it was announced that a recruiting station would be opened at Fort Steele on last Monday, a wave of patriotic enthusiasm swept over the district, and by Tuesday night the full quota of forty had been examined and accepted. The roll of honour shows those who lost no time in responding to the call of the mother country by joining Strathcona’s Horse. The Champion Skater … J. K. McCulloch, of Winnipeg, the champion skater of the world, gave an exhibition at the rink last Monday night. There was a fair attendance and those present were very much pleased with the performance. Unfortunately, while doing his celebrated trick of jumping over barrels, the skater slipped and fell, injuring his knee, and badly bruising his face and body. Shows up Well … There are fourteen residences just completed or in course of construction in Cranbrook at this time. Notice … We have a very large supply of fresh and salted meats on hand and have decided to quote prices as follows: Beef, by side or carcass 7 ½ c; Pork, by side or carcass 8c; Mutton by side or carcass 10c; Beef, per pound 6c and up; Pork per pound 12 ½ c; Mutton per pound 12 ½ c. A large supply of smoked meats at a reasonable price. Thanking you for your past patronage, we still look for your patronage in the future. M. McInnes & Co. 1901 Newlyweds … N. A. MacKenzie returned home with his bride on Monday. The boys serenaded them in the evening, and for several hours made the night hideous with their discordant noise. The St. Eugene Hospital … The new St. Eugene Hospital building has been accepted by the Sisters and this week the furnishings are being moved from the old building at the Mission. The work of removal will be completed by the first of next week and then

Thursday, February 6, 2014

the Sisters will have one of the most commodious and best equipped hospitals in British Columbia. Going Fast … The stock of Cranbrook bachelors is growing less quite rapidly. Let the good work go on. The Herald advises every young man to get married. If he gets the right kind of a wife, it is the best act he will ever perform in his whole career. 1902 Athletic Club Opening … The Cranbrook Athletic Club will be formally opened at 8 p.m., Thursday, February 6, in their rooms in the Watt block, Baker Street. The following program will be rendered: Four round boxing contest, F. Dickinson vs. T. Turley. Bag punching , J. P. Fink. Club swinging, A. L. McDermot. Three round boxing bout, unknowns. There will also be songs and music and other very interesting entertainment, after which a short business meeting will be held. Everybody interested in the advancement of athletic sports are cordially invited. A $50 Nugget ... It was discovered on Weaver Creek last week. The placer grounds of Weaver Creek have been worked indifferently for many years. During the past winter however, a party headed by Tom Roberts has been doing systematic work on the ground. At a clean up last week a nugget weighing over three ounces and estimated to be worth about $50 was found. It is a beautiful piece of gold, cone shape, and makes an attractive ornament to show to the people. The finding of this nugget has aroused great interest in Weaver, and it will in all probability be thoroughly worked the coming season. Fernie … No new cases of smallpox have been reported this week and the assumption is that the disease has run its course. If there are no cases reported before Monday, February 3, it is quite certain the quarantine in the town will be raised. Hotel Burned … “Curly” Hamby was up from Morrissey the past week hobnobbing with old friends. “Curly” has just recovered from a mild attack of smallpox, but is bemoaning the loss of the Hotel de Morrissey, of which he was sole proprietor, and which the government saw fit to burn as a precaution against the spread of the disease. 1903 Take Notice … There strayed on my premises about the middle of November last

a black sow. It has lived on my place ever since. The owner can have it by paying for its keep and for this notice. John Brennan. Norbury Ranch Sold … G. Pawnell, who recently returned from England, with Mrs. Pawnell, has bought the Norbury Ranch through Beale, Hutchison & Elwell, for a sum reaching close to $10,000. This is one of the best ranches in the country, and with the one Mr. Pawnell already owns in that vicinity gives him a valuable tract of land that will greatly increase in price as the country is developing. Royal Hotel … When you visit Cranbrook stop at the Royal Hotel. None better in the district. Rates $1 and up. Short Orders and Oysters served in any style from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. The table is the best, the rooms are unsurpassed for cleanliness and comfort and the bar is supplied with the best brands of liquors and cigars. L. B. VANDECAR, Prop. 1904 Painted Lady … A certain lady in this town is wearing hand painted hosiery. The School Report … The report of the attendance at the Cranbrook public school for the month of January shows the number of pupils present as 202, made up of 103 boys and 99 girls. The total enrolment is 237, but some of these have left school. Rate Discrimination ... That the merchants of Cranbrook are being woefully discriminated against in freight rates is surely demonstrated by the following if these figures given in The Herald are correct. It is stated that the local rate from Calgary to Fernie is 53 cents, while the rate to Cranbrook is $1, nearly fifty per cent more. By the car load rate, Fernie pays 29 cents, while the Cranbrook merchant is taxed 75 cents. There are other discriminations of a most serious nature that places a serious handicap on business men in Cranbrook. A traveling man stated the other day that the reason Cranbrook got the worst of it was because her merchants had never made a protest, and so long as they were willing to stand it, just so long would the C. P. R. make the charges. This is a matter for the Board of Trade to take up at once. Cranbrook don’t ask for the best of it, but she would insist on a fair deal. We Never Sleep … We do all kinds of scavenger work, such as cleaning privy vaults, cesspools, and carting away refuse matter in yards. Satisfaction guaranteed. Office at Wentworth Hotel.

Local swimmer returns from provincial meet TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Local swimmer Rhys Marlatt has returned from provincial AAA championships in Kamloops with an impressive medal haul after competing in eight separate events. Marlatt earned silver medals in 50m Freestyle (25.59 seconds) 100m Freestyle (56.76 seconds) and 100m Butterfly (1:02.21). In addition to his silvers, Marlatt also took a pair of bronze medals in 100m Backstroke (1:03.31) and 200m Backstroke (2:18.66).

Rhys Marlatt Marlatt placed fifth in 200m Freestyle (2:08.62) and had personal best times in seven of his eight events, which featured the top 12-13 year old swimmers in the province. “I love the competition and to make it even better, the guy who beat me every time I got second place, he’s first in the country in almost everything and

holds a Canadian record for 12-year-olds,” said Marlatt, who is a member of the Cranbrook Triton Swim Club and coached by Dave Chisholm. “I love how I can compete against him, because he’s really, really fast and I probably won’t be beating him for a long time, but I hope to.” That would be Tai Long Singh, who swims out of the Winskill Dolphins Swim Club in Tsawwassen, who set a national record in the 100m Backstroke in 2012 with a time of 1:02.86. “It’s good to have friendly competition too,” Marlatt added. “I’m really good friends with lots of people I compete against.” Despite getting beat out by Singh in most of the races, Marlatt content with his results. His second place finish in the 50m Freestyle bumped him up to third place in Swimming Canada’s rankings. The provincial AAA championships went through some changes since last year, where athletes had to post good enough results in multiple races, rather than just one competition to qualify for this year’s edition.

Nitros and T-Cats battle to 4-4 draw TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

After two overtime periods, the Kimberley Dynamiters and the Creston Valley Thunder Cats had to call it a 4-4 draw on Wednesday night. The Nitros were able to mount a comeback after a 2-0 deficit in the first period, scoring a trio of goals when the T-Cats got into penalty trouble in the middle frame. Dynamiters forward Tyson Klingspohn led the way with a hat trick, while goaltender Jeremy Mousseau turned away 30 shots to keep his team in the game over 70 minutes of hockey. Brandon Formosa and Carson Cartwright scored in the opening period as Creston built a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes and dominated the Nitros in their own end. “Just stay positive, build off everything that

we can, the little things like shots on net,” said Klingspohn, on how the team felt going into the middle period. “Their goalie was giving up some big rebounds there—so just tried to get every puck on net.” The Nitros managed to cut into the lead early in the second frame, when Dylan Sibbald beat a T-Cats defenceman and fed Klingspohn at the side of the net, who bagged his first goal of the night. However, just over a minute later, the T-Cats restored their two-goal lead, when Ethan Rusnack buried a loss puck after teammate Connor Kidd was stripped of the biscuit in Kimberley territory. Right before the halfway point of the period, the tide began to turn, after Jordan Busch was hit from behind and left the game.

Creston forward Colton St. John was slapped with a five-minute major on the play, and Kimerley’s powerplay went to work. Jared Marchi sniped a low shot past T-Cats goaltender Brock Lefebvre, making it a one-goal game. After a stoppage of play in front of Lefebvre, Colby Livingstone went after Andrew Miller, who wasn’t interested in reciprocating. Livingstone was ejected and hit with an instigating minor and five minute major penalty.

Again, the Nitro powerplay went to work, this time with Klingspohn drawing blood to even it up at 3-3 after 40 minutes. Creston continued their parade to the penalty box in the third period, and Klingspohn completed his hat trick just a few minutes in to give the Nitros their first lead. “We did everything we could, tried to put in as many [powerplay goals] as we could,” said Klingspohn. “Probably would’ve liked to have

put in a few more, but it helped give us momentum in the third period there, and we had better discipline than them so it paid off for us tonight.” Creston tied it up just after the halfway mark of the period, taking advantage of a turnover in the Dynamiters zone with Formosa tallying a shorthanded marker. The two teams went at it in two extra five-minute overtime periods, which solved nothing and settled the affair at a 4-4 tie.

Playoff implications loom for Avalanche TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Avalanche are on the final stretch of the Pacwest season, heading down to the Lower Mainland for four matches against Capilano University Blues and Douglas College Royals. The playoff implications are huge for the men, which currently sit in sixth place in the standings, four points ahead of last-place UFV Cascades. Douglas, Capilano and Vancouver Island University are all tied at 20 points in third, fourth and fifth, respectively. A couple of wins could potentially vault them all the way up to third place. In the fall, the Avs split their record with Douglas, winning 3-1 and losing 3-2 in a tie break set. Their matches with Capilano were also close, losing 3-1 and 3-2 in the fifth set.

Once the Avs return from their trip to the coast, they will have a bye in the final set of Pacwest weekend action before provincials, which will be hosted by Capilano. The ladies also a lot riding on the weekend, and still have a chance of sneaking into provincials. The Douglas College Royals are only four points ahead of the Avs ladies in the standings. Their two matches this weekend will be big for both teams as the Avs try to catch up. Capilano will be a tougher challenge, as they are ranked in fourth place with 11 wins. The Avs ladies were able to take a set in both matches against Douglas, losing 3-1, however, some of the set scores were pretty tight. The Avs were blanked at 3-0 in both matches against Capilano, but like Douglas, a few points there way could have shifted the result in their favour.

Chamblin named CFL coach of the year Ste ve Rennie Canadian Press

OTTAWA - The moment Corey Chamblin first started thinking about becoming a CFL head coach came while he was breaking down game film with Jim Barker years ago when the two were with the Calgary Stampeders. They were watching tape during the 2008 Grey Cup when Barker, himself a former coach, was then Calgary’s senior vice-president of football operations and player-personnel director. Barker turned to the young assistant and made what Chamblin thought at the time was a terribly bold prediction. “He said, ‘You’ll be a better head coach than an assistant coach, and if you don’t decide to go to the NFL and you stay in this league, you’ll definitely be a head coach,” Chamblin recalls. “And I was like, ‘Jim, you’re crazy.’ ” But Barker’s words were prophetic. On Wednesday, Chamblin

was named the CFL’s coach of the year. The 36-year-old received the Annis Stukus Trophy after leading the Saskatchewan Roughriders to a Grey Cup win on home turf in only his second season with the club.

The Riders finished second in the West Division standings with an 11-7 record. They defeated B.C. 29-25 in the conference semifinal before upsetting firstplace Calgary - which posted a league-best 14-4 record - in the West

Division final 35-13. That victory earned Saskatchewan homefield advantage for the Grey Cup game, which was held at Mosaic Stadium. Before a rabid gathering of 44,710, the Riders didn’t disappoint, capping their

season with an impressive 45-23 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Kent Austin, Hamilton’s head coach/GM, and John Hufnagel, who also holds the same dual post with Calgary, were the award finalists.

Injury sidelines Stamkos from Olympics C anadian Press

TAMPA, Fla. - Steven Stamkos will not play for Team Canada at the Sochi Olympics after tests revealed Wednesday that his broken right leg is not completely healed. Tampa Bay Lightning doctors said they couldn’t clear him to play after examining his most recent CT scan and will re-evaluate his condition again in two to three weeks. It’s a big blow for the 23-year-old, who had been optimistic earlier this week that he might be able to play by as soon as Saturday. “Today is obviously

very disappointing for me,” Stamkos said in a release. “I honestly believe that we did everything possible in order to have my injured leg ready in time for the Olympics, but I realize you can’t force healing. I know, in the best interest of my long-term health, I cannot represent Canada in Sochi, as much as I would like to.” Stamkos will further address the media in person Thursday following the Lightning’s morning skate at Tampa Bay Times Forum. Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman, who is also Team Canada’s executive di-

rector, said Stamkos “should not be participating in game action at any time in the near future.” “Although the doctor was very pleased to this point with the healing process, he explained that the callus surrounding the fracture site is not 100 per cent consolidated, and Steven will not be cleared to play in a game until that happens,” said Yzerman. “It was a pretty clear-cut decision, no grey areas at all.” Sidney Crosby, the captain for Team Canada, was disappointed to hear that Stamkos would not be heading to Sochi.

“It’s tough to see. I think we all figured if there’s anyone that’s going to find a way back, it would be him,” Crosby said, after scoring a goal and adding an assist in Pittsburgh’s 5-1 win at Buffalo Wednesday night. “That being said, it’s probably more difficult for him than anyone else. You feel for him, but we obviously have to move forward.” Hockey Canada did not immediately announce a replacement for Stamkos, though Claude Giroux, Lightning teammate Marty St. Louis and James Neal figured to be the leading candidates.

RCMP distracted driving campaign underway Submit ted

The RCMP across British Columbia will be conducting a month-long awareness and targeted enforcement campaign against distracted drivers in February. Distracted driving is one of the major driving behaviours that contribute to fatal and serious injury motor vehicle collisions. “Last year, 27 per cent of collision fatalities in B.C. were caused by distracted or inattentive drivers, despite over 40,000 violation tickets being issued for use of electronic device or driving without due care and attention,” said Sgt. Don Erichsen of East Kootenay Traffic Services. “The public needs to be part of the solution by separating the activities of driving and electronic device use.” RCMP said Monday in a

press release that each year, on average, 91 people die due to the distracted driving-related crashes — 31 in the Lower Mainland, 12 in the North, 34 in the Southeast and 14 on Vancouver Island. All of these deaths were needless, preventable deaths that could have been prevented by drivers paying their attention solely to the driving task. “Driving is probably the most dangerous activity you do in a day. Undivided attention is needed whenever you drive, regardless of road and weather conditions,” Erichsen added. Are You Dying To Check Your Cell Phone? “If you need to make a phone call on a cellular phone, use a hands-free device that can be operated with one touch," Erichsen said. “If you need to send or check a text or email, you

must pull over, off of the travelled portion of the roadway, and bring your vehicle to a complete stop. There are no messages that are more important than your life.” The fine for using an electronic device without handsfree while driving is $167. Moreover, drivers who text or

email while driving are subject to three Driver Penalty Points in addition to the fine. Drivers in the Graduated Licence Program (GLP) are not permitted to use any electronic device, even hands-free devices. GLP drivers receive the $167 fine and three Driver Penalty

Points. Drivers who are observed using an electronic device while committing other moving violations that put themselves and others at risk will face a charge of Driving Without Due Care and Attention, with a fine of $368.

“Don’t Text Your Loved Ones to Death.” The RCMP will be targeting Distracted Drivers across BC for the entire month of February. On Valentine’s Day, February 14 the police will be ensuring your loved ones get home safely through increased enforcement.

Delinquent deer to get oneway ticket out of Penticton C a n a d i a n P r e ss

PENTICTON, B.C. — You can lead a deer to pasture, but can you make it stay? That’s the question for officials in Penticton, B.C., as they launch a pilot program they hope will relocate problem deer and avoid the need for a cull.

Penticton Mayor Gary Litke says up to $15,000 has been earmarked to move habituated deer to pasture land owned by the Penticton Indian band, about 10 kilometres southwest of the city. The delinquent deer will be tagged for monitoring

and Litke hopes they don’t return, because that could force the city to reconsider plans to euthanize the animals. Aggressive deer around Penticton have been blamed for attacking people and pets, and the city passed a bylaw in January 2012 pro-

hibiting the feeding of wildlife. Several B.C. communities are dealing with problem deer, and Kimberley is currently conducting a cull, planning to euthanize as many as 30 animals between Feb. 1 and midMarch.

Help the RCMP name its newest recruits Submit ted

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) needs help in naming a handful of their newest (and cutest) recruits! The Police Dog Service Training Centre (PDSTC) in Innisfail, Alberta is asking young Canadians to suggest names for 10 German Shepherd puppies recently born at the Centre. Children are en-

couraged to be original and imaginative in finding names that will serve these puppies well in their careers with Canada’s national police force. When thinking of names, it is important to keep in mind that these are working police dogs, not pets. The 10 children whose names are selected will each receive a laminated 8×10-inch

COTR students headed to Guatemala Submit ted

On February 7, three College of the Rockies University Studies students will embark on a trip to Guatemala to participate in a field school. The ten-day trip, part of a second-year sociology course offered by Capilano University, was made available to the College’s faculty and students. The students – Karla Robinson, Alexis Fisher and Stephanie Mindek – are completing the majority of the course online. Prior to leaving for Guatemala they have been engaging with Capilano students and the course instructor via a virtual classroom. By collaborating with Capilano University’s field school, College of the Rockies students are able to participate in a type of learning they would otherwise not have access to. The students are being fully supported

to work with our International department and other post-secondary institutions to offer more field school and international education opportunities to

our students in the future.” For more information on University Studies courses at College of the Rockies, go to: cotr. ca/university

BUSINESS TO BUSINESS Our Mission Statement:

PRESIDENT’S

Fostering a healthy business climate in Cranbrook & District

REPORT

Dave Butler

s the newly-elected President of the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce, it’s my pleasure to share some thoughts with you for the first time this year. First, for those who don’t know me, I’m on the senior leadership team of Canadian Mountain Holidays, the world’s first and largest helicopter skiing company. The head office for the company is Banff, but I choose to have my office here and I’ve lived here with my wife Heather for nearly 26 years. We raised our two daughters here and we love this place. Before I talk about the coming year, I want to take a moment to express thanks – on behalf of the Chamber Board and staff, the business community, and the community more broadly – to Past President Mike Adams for his leadership in 2013. Mike took us in exciting new directions in the governance of our organization, in connecting with our members, and in advocating for the needs of business. He spent hundreds and hundreds of hours working on behalf of the business community and often ended up on the pointy end of the advocacy stick … while at

the same time building a house, renovating a building and moving his business to new premises, along with being a husband and a father to four young daughters. I learned a lot from Mike in 2013, and despite what Jason Wheeldon might say, Mike’s shoes are big shoes to fill. A heartfelt thank you, Mike!

and then into cities, it is entrepreneurial activity that makes it happen. The growth and development of cities, therefore, can never be taken for granted, for it is the individual decisions of entrepreneurs to start up, hire, invest and grow that translate into a city’s economic and social progression.”

It’s my sincere honour to lead the Chamber in 2014. This will be my sixth year on the Board and I am a firm believer that this City and this part of the Kootenay region are on the cusp of something very exciting. But we’re going to have to work very hard, together, to make that happen.

While acknowledging the Ktunaxa peoples, who were here for thousands of years before Europeans arrived, we know that Cranbrook is here as a city because our very first entrepreneur - Colonel James Baker – persuaded the CPR to build its Crowsnest Pass line through here more than 100 years ago …

I believe that a thriving business sector leads to a wide range of economic, social, cultural and environmental benefits in our community. I found a quote that I thought was appropriate.

… so, without that first determined and visionary entrepreneur, we could just as easily be the Fort Steele and District Chamber of Commerce.

“If one looks far enough back into a city’s reason to be, it’s quite likely an entrepreneur was involved. People undertaking business ventures, taking advantage of the area’s land features, natural resource endowments or placement on travel routes were the first residents. So too, when s m a l l communities grow into larger towns

clearer plan for our economic future around which we can all rally, and through that, building a strong sense of optimism about that future (Dave Struthers is leading that).

With that direction firmly in place, my goals as President this year will be two-fold: 1. ensuring that the Chamber becomes more relevant to more businesses; and

2. working collaboratively with the City (through Mayor Stetski, Council and staff), the RDEK, the Province, the College, the Downtown Business Association, the Columbia Basin Trust and other key organizations to continue to improve the climate for business and grow our local economy.

Because there will be a municipal election in November, it will be an interesting year for the Chamber, as it always is at this time in the political cycle. I can confirm for you that none of the Directors on the Chamber Board will run for office this year … that’s a critical thing to announce early so that we as a Board can keep focused on the needs of business and avoid being distracted by politics.

People will try to pull the Chamber in a number of directions this year, and it will be our challenge – as a Board and staff - to remain completely apolitical. We must keep our eye firmly on the ball: providing value to our members and growing our local economy.

I want to take a moment to thank you – our members – for being part of this great organization. As the year unfolds, I encourage you to attend our luncheons and to get involved in networking opportunities, in special events and on Task Forces when we engage on specific business policy issues. Along the way, we’ll ask you how we are doing, and I want you to tell us.

And for those of you in business in Cranbrook and area who aren’t members of the Chamber, I encourage you to give us a try. We are stronger and more successful by working together.

I look forward to working with our new Board, with our Chamber staff, and with all of you, in tackling our challenges and our opportunities in 2014. Please contact me though the Chamber office if you have any questions or suggestions. Thank you.

Resorts to offer 50 per cent off lift tickets on Feb. 10, 2014 CAROLYN GRANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

When the province of British Columbia introduced the B.C. Family Day holiday in February last year, the ski industry, led by the Canada West Ski Areas Association, lobbied hard to make sure it did not fall on the same day as the Alberta Family Day weekend. Alberta Family Day falls on the third

Monday in February and was already a big weekend for B.C. ski hills, especially those in this area close to the B.C. Alberta border. The ski industry successfully argued that it would be a benefit to the tourism industry to have the B.C. Family day a week prior, allowing ski hills to capture long weekend skiers two weeks in a row. As an added incentive, the Canada West Ski Areas Associ-

ation managed to get all the big ski resorts in the province to offer major lift ticket discounts on B.C. Family Day. The resorts offered 50 per cent off last year, and it proved so successful that the offer is being made again this year for BC Family Day 2014 on February 10, 2014. “B.C. ski resorts offer an outstanding variety of winter recreation experiences,” said CWSAA President and CEO David Lynn. “We are very pleased to be able to celebrate the second B.C. Family Day by providing B.C. families with the

opportunity to ski or board at a B.C. ski resort at half the regular price. We hope that British Columbians take advantage of this fun and healthy way to enjoy BC Family Day.” Participating resorts in this area include the Kimberley Alpine Resort, Fernie Alpine Resort, Panorama, Fairmont Hot Springs Resort and Kicking Horse. The promotion incudes the following guidelines: • BC residents will receive 50% off all lift tickets that are valid for use on Monday, February 10, 2014. • This discount will be based on the regular ‘ticket window’ price in effect for the 201314 season, and will not be combinable with other offers / discounts. • Participating ski resorts may require proof of BC Residency (e.g. government-issued photo ID). All participating ski resorts will be required to provide the 50% lift ticket discount, but they will be free to augment this offer with their own resort-specific promotions.

about BC’s Family Day With

MLA,

Bill Bennett

In May 2012, British Columbian’s were asked to choose the date for BC Family Day. From the votes received British Columbians voted 18,202 in favor of family day being the second Monday in February; while 9436 votes were registered in favor of the third Monday.

Italian superstar Zucchero will perform at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook on March 25.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Confusion surrounds the bestlaid plans. You are entering a period where you would be well-advised not to make any formal agreements, as they are likely to backfire. Tension over a money matter needs to be worked out before late afternoon. Tonight: Buy a treat for yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Listen to a friend who always seems to be depressed. It is possible that this person could be going through a difficult period, and he or she just needs someone to express a more positive view. Showing compassion will encourage you to reach out to others. Tonight: Say “yes.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might sense that you are off-kilter and choose to ignore those feelings. Don’t. You will be feeling stressed out by a situation, perhaps involving your work or health. Work through your tension; otherwise, you could add to your problems. To-

night: Take a personal night. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could find a problem to be somewhat unresolvable at the moment. Everyone can have an “off” day, and that includes you. Don’t push yourself so hard, and make it OK to play it low-key. Friends will seek you out. Tonight: Grab some munchies with a pal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t count on others following through, as they could be experiencing some scheduling issues. If you want something done, do it yourself; otherwise, you will be left holding the bag. Observe what is happening around you. Tonight: Count on being the lead actor. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Detach, even if you feel consigned to having a certain outcome. Mercury, the planet that rules your sign, goes retrograde today. Honor a change in your energy, and look for simple solutions. Avoid making any commitments right now. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You could be overwhelmed by your thoughts, so make a point to carry out some must-do’s. You will like the acknowledgment of a job well done. Get into a regular exercise program in the next few days, as tension could mount. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s idea. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Understand that you have a tendency to be negative. Obviously, this attitude colors whatever you do. Use care with a child or partner, as this person seems to be more reactive than usual. You might need to mellow out, given the circumstances. Tonight: Be more optimistic. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) If you have an important matter on your plate, get it done as early as possible today. Take care of yourself, and schedule necessary doctors’ appointments. Don’t indulge in any extremes or overindulgences, and you will be much happier. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are able to carry out a lot of responsibilities. A friend could

feel neglected at the moment. Be aware that you might receive the cold shoulder. You will be more in touch with this person’s feelings if you demonstrate your value of him or her. Tonight: Time for play. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll want to air out a problem that has been on your mind, as you might not be comfortable with what has been going on. Don’t take all the blame; others are involved, too. You will breeze through your daily routine, which might allow time for a talk. Tonight: At home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Express your opinion without expecting agreement, and you will be OK. Be more open in how you deal with a problem person in your life. Others will be curious, and your information could be helpful. You might start to see this person in a different light. Tonight: Hang out.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I recently found out that my husband has been calling escorts who advertise online. I am not sure whether he ever hooked up with any of them. I am just shocked that he is doing this and that it has been going on for quite some time. I feel stupid that it took me so long to pick up on it. It appears he and his buddies had this system going to cover for each other when they communicated with these women. And then he gives me a Christmas card that says how much he loves me. It’s as if he dumped 30 years of marriage down the gutter. It’s the same as cheating. Let this be a heads up to all the women out there: Check your husband’s cellphone bills. You may be surprised to find out who they are talking to. Staying in the marriage with this going on is not an option. Why am I the one to feel ashamed because of what he did? -- Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: You feel ashamed because you think he made a fool of you. The man you loved and have been married to for so long was behaving in a way that shocked and humiliated you. He is the one who should be ashamed of being so disrespectful toward you and your marriage. Dear Annie: Whenever we are at a party, especially during the holiday season, my usually responsible husband invariably drinks to excess. He gets loud and then louder. A jolly drunk, but still a drunk. I’m not a teetotaler, but I stop at one or two glasses. I get that I’m not responsible for my husband’s behavior, but it is both embarrassing and frightening. Who is this guy? When I express my concerns (the day after), he becomes petulant or surly. He promises to limit his drinking, but it doesn’t happen. We’ve been married for 43 years, and this behavior has developed only over the past few. Other than being the designated driver, how do I deal with my party animal? -- His Wet Blanket Dear Wet Blanket: If this behavior is fairly recent, please suggest to your husband that he get a complete checkup. Ask to go with (so you can mention your concerns to the doctor). Most offices will also permit you to alert the doctor by phone or letter. Another suggestion is to videotape his drunken behavior so he can see for himself how out of control he is. We hope it helps. Dear Annie: This is for “Waiting for Your Answer,” who complained about bank personnel chatting up the customers. When I was a bank teller in Miami, the Federal Banking Commission held a mandatory information workshop on how to prevent bank holdups. Two segments in particular apply to this issue. All greeters and tellers were instructed to: 1. Look the customer in the eye while greeting him/her. This will deter any motive other than banking. 2. Carry on a very brief, pleasant conversation while handling all transactions. This puts any intentioned robber ill at ease because they know you will be able to identify them. As customers depart, note the height chart that is always posted at the door. The greeter will be doing the same as the customer enters the bank. This helps personnel better describe the person. Remember that a brief, light conversation may help to protect you, your money and your fellow depositors. -- A Safe Bank Teller Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Angel prayer for a broken-hearted woman Dear Wendy: I had come to you for several readings and you warned me about the man I was living with. What you said to me about him was all true, Wendy. I didn’t listen to you and I was mad at you when I left your

house last year. I was afraid to phone you and ask if I could have another reading with you and your guides. This is why I am emailing you because I am afraid you will not want me to come and see you again. I know I shouldn’t

What is the Difference between Synthroid and Dessicated Thyroid? The thyroid is one of the most important glands and plays a crucial role in the metabolism of the body and a low functioning thyroid or hypothyroid has become a common ailment. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include; · sensitivity to cold temperatures · mild weight gain · fatigue · constipation · enlarged neck · dry skin · hair loss · muscle cramps · heavy and irregular menstruation · difficulty thinking or concentrating Synthroid Synthroid is the most common prescription medicine for hypothyroidism and is a synthetic form of thyroxine (T4) called levothyroxine. It acts to replace the function of the thyroid by increasing the amount of thyroid hormone in the bloodstream. This leads a decrease in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland as it signals that the thyroid gland is working properly again. As this only supplements the body with the inactive form of thyroid hormone (T4), it must first be converted to the active form (T3) in order to play a part in the metabolic processes of the body. The dosage of Synthroid varies from person to person depending on remaining thyroid function, symptoms and ability to convert T4 to T3. There are foods, vitamins and minerals that Naturopathic Doctors can use to help support the body in this conversion process. These should all be utilized under the guidance of a trained health care provider. Natural Dessicated Thyroid Natural dessicated thyroid was commonly used for the treatment of hypothyroidism from the early 1900’s until the discovery of synthetic T4 in the 1960’s. Dessicated thyroid is made of dried porcine (pig) thyroid tissue and it contains both T4 and T3 therefore supplementing the body directly with the active form of thyroid hormone. This will benefit those who are not able to readily convert T4 to T3 and they may see a greater decrease in symptoms as well as TSH. One argument that is commonly used against dessicated thyroid by pharmaceutical companies and conventional medicine is that there is a variation between each batch of medication and it cannot be regulated the same way as the synthetic compound. This may be true, but the variations will be slight and if your health care practitioner is following up and monitoring properly then there should be no adverse effects from the dessicated thyroid. Naturopathic physicians in BC have the option of getting certified in prescriptive authority allowing them to access either one of these medications. If you think you could benefit from dessicated thyroid contact a local Naturopathic Doctor with prescribing rights. Both medications are effective at treating hypothyroidism and it should be the patient’s decision which one they prefer or feel better taking. We have also seen great benefit in combining diet and lifestyle treatments and supplements with these medications to improve overall quality of life and reduce symptoms.

Live Life Well.

ask but I am desperate to find out if he is with another woman now. I talked to him on the phone last night and he says there is no other woman. My heart is breaking and I don’t know what to do to get over this pain and loneliness I am feeling. I wouldn’t blame you if you choose not to help me; but I’m asking anyway. Any advice you can give me to heal will be appreciated. Terribly Hurt Dear Terribly Hurt: Well, honey, relax and don’t feel bad about how you were feeling and what happened during the reading. I get at least eight people a year (and I think I’m being kind to my guides and I) who get upset when we tell them the truth about the problem(s) they have in their life. The truth hurts momentarily and the automatic reaction to the truth is the ego gets in

ASK WENDY

Wendy Evano the way and out gushes the anger. The reality of the situation is that when someone hears the truth, the most common response is anger because they know in their soul what we are saying is true. This means they are not really angry; they are just afraid. This is what happened to you and I don’t really remember how angry you were with us anyway. When people leave after a reading I leave their problems at the door when they walk away from us.

This means we want to help you when you are with us but we can’t nor do we want to control your life after you leave us. This means if you want to sit down with my guides and I, give me a call and I can set something up for you. It’s all part of my job and when you choose to help people that don’t want to hear the way it is but the way they want it to be, these emotional incidents like you experienced do happen. However, this does not give you permission to walk in and become angry with us all over again. It does give you permission to walk in again and have kindness and understanding for my guides and I showing you that we genuinely want to help you with your problems and heartache. To answer your first question of whether your ex-boyfriend is seeing another woman or not, the answer is: yes, he is seeing another

sends a person into despair. To begin, sit down in a quiet place and get yourself centred. This means relax, take some breaths and when you feel calm, call on your highest angels for the assistance you need from them. Talk to them and be specific about what is bothering you. Next say this prayer out loud as often as necessary for peace and angelic healing: Angels who repair trauma, From realms heavenly blue, Please mend my soul, With your angelic glue. Next creatively visualize a motherly angel holding you on her lap. Hear the healing, nurturing words she is whispering in your ears. You can’t quite hear the words but they go deep into your soul to heal your pain. Hope this helps. Wendy

He has lied to you throughout this relationship and you know deep inside that this is true. We have been doing some rather stupendous work in my Angel healing prayer sessions. I am starting to make a list of new people who would like to join these Angelic prayer sessions. The new prayer sessions will be starting in March and if you wish to join, let me know. I cannot express how healing these prayer sessions are and the positive healing experiences and results not only I have felt but others that come to these sessions. If you wish you may think about these sessions and give me a call.

Obituaries LOCKHART, ROSEMARY MARGARET MACKAY 1942 - 2014

On the evening of Monday, January 27, 2014, Rosemary Margaret Mackay Lockhart passed away at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook, BC at the age of 71 years. She was born on August 15, 1942 in Douglas, Isle of Man to Ernest and Muriel (Mackay) Callow. Our motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was all about family. Her children and her grandchildren were the most important aspect for her and her life revolved around them. Rosemary was always the intellect behind the family businesses. She helped run Lockhart Transport & Delivery and many people would remember her from her time spent handling the financial aspects of Cranbrook Discount Foods. Rosemary led a very quiet and private life but was always extremely proud of her family and their accomplishments. In a manner of speaking she was the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifeline as you could always count on her to listen to your problems without judgement, to be a source of advice in times of need, or to just be there for unwavering support. Her laugh was infectious and could enlighten even the darkest of moments. Rosemary leaves to cherish her memory her four children; Craig Lockhart, Bonnie (Allan) Hudock, Richard (Becky) Lockhart and Christine (Destin) Klepaychuk as well as her grandchildren; Kyle & Cole, Ryan, Dylan, Nathan, Joshua and Joel. Rosemary is survived by one sister, Tina Blackburn. She was predeceased by her parents; Ernest and Muriel Callow and one brother Robert (Bobby) Callow. A private family graveside service will be held. Memorial donations may be made in Rosemaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society, 19 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 9th Ave. S., Cranbrook, BC V1C 2L9.

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Sell Your Home in the Classifieds. It Has Never Been Easier!

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.

Check out your ad in the newspaper and count all the calls coming in!!

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.

opinion Happy to be wrong about geo-engineering method

onfession is good for the soul, and my soul is certainly in need of improvement, so here is a confession. I got it wrong in my article “Geo-Engineering in Trouble”, published on January 20. I couldn’t be happier about that. The article said that a new scientific study, carried out by Angus Ferraro, Ellie Highwood and Andrew Charlton-Perez of Reading University, showed that the most widely discussed geo-engineering method for holding the global temperature down would have disastrous consequences for agriculture. The method is injecting sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere; the (unintended) result would be devastating drought in the

Gwynne Dyer tropics. The idea of using sulphate aerosols in the stratosphere to reflect back some incoming sunlight, thus lowering surface temperatures on Earth, has been the leading contender for a geo-engineering solution to runaway heating since the whole subject came out of the closet eight years ago. And then along come “Ferraro et al.” (as the scientists put it) to tell us that

the side-effects will be disastrous. Thanks, guys. So I ended the article by saying: “The sulphur dioxide technique was the cheapest and seemingly the best understood option for holding the temperature down. A great many people were glad that it was there, as a kind of safety net if we really don’t get our act together in time to halt the warming by less intrusive means. Now there’s no safety net.” Almost immediately I got an email from Andy Parker, now a research fellow in the Kennedy School at Harvard University and previously a climate change policy advisor for the Royal Society in the United Kingdom.

versity, he said (though in kinder words). They have spun the research findings for maximum shock value. In other words, read the damn thing before you write about it. Well, actually, I did read it (it’s available online), but the conclusions are couched in the usual science-speak, with a resolute avoidance of anything that might look like interpretation for the general public. I didn’t look long enough at the key graph that undercuts the dire conclusions of the publicists, presumably because I had already been conditioned by them to see something else there. Drastic consequences would indeed ensue if you tried to geo-engineer a 4 degrees C

warmer world all the way back down to the pre-industrial average global temperature by putting sulphate aerosols in the stratosphere. But nobody in their right mind would try to do that. On the other hand, if you were using sulphates to hold the temperature down to plus 1.8 degrees C, in a world where the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere would otherwise give you plus 4 degrees C, then the effect on tropical rainfall would be small. And that is a far likelier scenario, because we are most unlikely to resort to largescale geo-engineering until we are right at the threshold (around plus 2 degrees C) of runaway warming. So the correct conclusion to draw from

Ferrero et al. is that geo-engineering with sulphates is still one of the more promising techniques for holding the temperature down, and should be investigated further. As Andy Parker put it, “this does not tell us that we should do geo-engineering, but it does mean that the paper is a long way from being the nail in the coffin that the press release implies.” And then I got another email, this time from my old friend Amory Lovins, co-founder and chief scientist at the Rocky Mountain Institute, who took me to task for assuming that human greenhouse gas emissions “probably will not drop” fast enough to prevent us from going into runaway warning (unless we geo-engineer) later

this century. Not true, he said. “Since the Kyoto conference in 1997, most efforts to hedge climate risks have made four main errors: assuming solutions will be costly rather than (at least mainly) profitable; insisting they be motivated by concerns about climate rather than about security, profit, or economic development; assuming they require a global treaty; and assuming businesses can do little or nothing before carbon is priced.” “As these errors are gradually realized, climate protection is changing course. It will be led more by countries and companies than by international treaties and organizations, more by the private sector and civil society than by governments, more by leading developing economies than by mature developed ones, and more by efficiency and clean energy’s economic fundamentals than by possible future carbon pricing.” He pointed out how strongly China is committed to clean energy. Last year renewables, (including hydro) accounted for 43 percent of new generating capacity in China, as the extra coal plants ordered long ago taper sharply down. India is showing signs of moving in the same direction, and there’s even hope that Japan may decide to replace all the nuclear capacity it is shutting down with renewables rather than coal. So I shouldn’t be so pessimistic, they were both telling me. I believe Andy Parker is right, and I hope Amory Lovins is right too. But just in case Amory is a bit off in the timing of all these turn-arounds on greenhouse gas emissions in Asia, I would still like to see a lot of research, including small-scale experiments in the open atmosphere, on the various techniques for geo-engineering.
