Celebrate transit with a free ride ARNE PETRYSHEN
To celebrate the beginning of the 15th year of public transit in Cranbrook, all trips will be free on Wednesday, Dec. 3. The free rides apply to both the fixed route and handyDART services. The fixed-route service was first introduced in Cranbrook in December 2000. “Since that time passenger trips have more than doubled,” noted Merideth Burton. “In 2001/02, BC Transit supplied nearly 100,000 passenger trips. In 2013/14, those passenger trips climbed to more than 217,000.” Burton said some of the major milestones for transit services in Cranbrook over the years include the introduction of the UPass at the Col-
lege of the Rockies in 2006, the unveiling of the new downtown exchange in 2008 and the expansion of weekend service with longer hours on Friday and Saturday evenings in 2014. Fourteen years ago, on Friday, Dec. 1, 2000, Cranbrook joined other cities in the Kootenays like Rossland, Castlegar, Trail, Creston and Nelson with a new public transit system. In fact, at the time, Cranbrook was the last large community in B.C. to get a fixed-route transit system. Sandy Forman, the Senior Planner the Municipal Program for BC Transit at the time, called the transit system a great step forward for Cranbrook.

IN COURT
Cheyenne Learn trial underway in Cranbrook T R E VO R C R AW L E Y
A new trial for Cheyenne Learn began on Monday in Cranbrook Supreme Court, starting with witness testimony from an ex-girlfriend. Crown counsel Lianna Swanson spent the day questioning the witness for the court in front of Justice Dev Dley. Brent Bagnell is representing Learn as defence counsel and will cross-examine the same witness on Wednesday. In 2009, Learn was convicted of second-degree murder in the
shooting death of Tammy Ellis that occurred in December 2007. The conviction overturned on appeal in May 2013. The trial is expected to run until early next week. The ex-girlfriend answered all of Swanson’s questions, which covered topics such as the nature of her relationships with Learn and Ellis and the timeline of events that took place on the night of Dec. 17, 2007. Leading up to the shooting, the witness testified she had an argument with Learn at a trailer
he was living in earlier in the evening. Later, she returned home, but Learn was in the driveway. She said she ran past him and went into the house, refusing to speak to him. Ellis went outside to speak with him and “put him in his place,” the witness testified. Less than a minute after the conversation between Learn and Ellis, Learn entered the residence, carrying a firearm.

Learn re-trial underway Cranbrook transit celebrates Continued from page 1 The witness testified that Learn pointed it at the roommate first, then on Ellis. “’You turned my girlfriend into a crackhead you [expletives],’ the witness said, testifying to what Learn said prior to the shooting. “Then he shot her.” The witness said she went into shock that wore off after five minutes before going into a bedroom to call 911. She said the line was busy the first time, and that she was put on hold the second time. The witness, who was 29 at the time of Ellis’ death, spent much of her time testifying about the nature of her tumultuous relationship with Learn between 2005-2007. The two lived an alcohol and drug-fuelled lifestyle, consuming multiple ciders and smoking marijuana on a daily basis, with cocaine usage at about twice a week. They began living together a month into the relationship in 2005, staying in a cabin outside town and spending the summer tenting in the bush. They also lived in a four-plex and stayed in a trailer called a “scamper” that was parked in the Wattsville neighbourhood.
The witness said she was formerly employed at a nursing home, but an injury prevented her from going back to work, so she started dealing cocaine for income near the end of the relationship. The witness testified that she met Ellis by selling cocaine to her, and the two eventually became friends. The witness’ relationship with Learn took a turn for the worse a week before Ellis’ death, when the witness had a fight with Learn because he wouldn’t give her a stash of cocaine and money that she claimed was hers. The witness broke off the relationship with Learn, but was able to claim the money and the drugs the next day. The witness also testified about Learn’s background with firearms, noting he kept a long-gun in the scamper and others at his father’s place. He often went out hunting and made his own bullets. After defence counsel cross examines the witness on Wednesday, the court will hear from other witnesses including members of the RCMP, a medical examiner and a firearms expert.
Geothermal pitched as alternative to Site C dam Tom Fletcher Black Press
Geothermal energy can help power the B.C. electrical grid around the province, and B.C. should assess that option before deciding to proceed with a third dam on the Peace River, an industry association says. The Canadian Geothermal Energy Association (CanGEA) issued a report Tuesday detailing its latest work on geothermal sites. In addition to hot springs and volcanic sites that could be tapped to provide power, the study examines “hot sedimentary aquifers” that have been stumbled upon by oil and gas drilling. “At the risk of offending my own mother, this ain’t your grandma’s geothermal,” said CanGEA chair Alison Thompson at a Victoria news conference. Thompson pointed to the recent joint federal-provincial review of BC Hydro’s Site C dam project, which noted that little research into geothermal energy has been conducted in B.C. The CanGEA report estimates that deep hot water aquifers and
other geothermal sources are capable of producing enough electricity to meet BC Hydro’s projected needs, including the 1,100 megawatt capacity offered by Site C. The report calls for a one-year delay on Site C, which has passed federal and provincial environmental reviews and is being considered by the B.C. cabinet. Energy Minister Bill Bennett said Tuesday he expects cabinet to make a final investment decision on BC Hydro’s $8 billion dam proposal by the end of December. He said geothermal energy has potential in B.C. because unlike wind or solar power it provides a steady source of power, but he doesn’t see it as an alternative to the dam. “It is a good resource,” Bennett said. “We do want to use it. It will be important to B.C. in the future. It’s not a way to get the 1,100 megawatts of electricity that we need now.” Bennett noted that the provincially-funded research agency GeoScienceBC issued a request for proposals Tuesday for a study on the economic viability of geothermal resources.
Continued from page 1 “A transit system is one of those things, like parks, like your Recreation Complex, that changes a city from being just a city into a more liveable city,” Forman said. Longtime city councillor Jim Wavrecan agreed. Since he was elected in 1986 he’d pushed for a public transit system. The Dennis Dart buses were specifically designed for smaller communities in B.C. by BC Transit and the British company Dennis. BC Transit, the City of Cranbrook and contract company Gray Line, collaborated in the 12 months before the buses were introduced. On the start date in 2000, Cranbrook had four of the buses begin their routes around Cranbrook, with their first stop in front of the clock tower. Mike Cafferky of Gray Line noted that a system like the one Cranbrook had just put in was no “more expensive than the cost of trying to put in a mile of highway.” Cafferky said in that regard it’s a good investment. John Darula, one of the drivers of the buses said they are spacious, modern and clean. “Most of these things are glass,” he noted of the buses. “It’s like being on a tour bus.” The routes, like they do now, followed Cranbrook’s main vehicular arteries to all the important locations of the city‚ the hospital, the College of the Rockies, the Tamarack Centre, most elementary schools, the out of the way residential areas. Then it takes you back downtown. For more information on transit in Cranbrook call 250-417-4636 or go online at www.bctransit.com/regions/ cra.

World AIDS Day is a day dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic which is caused by the spread of HIV infection. It has been observed all over the world for the past 26 years, falling on the first of December. In Cranbrook, World AIDS Day ceremonies will be held at Spirit Square in Rotary Park. Gary Dalton, Care Team director from ANKORS, said World AIDS Day is an opportunity for people to acknowledge those who have passed away because of HIV and AIDS, as well as those living with HIV and AIDS. “And it’s an opportunity to see how the face of AIDS is changing,” Dalton said. ANKORS (AIDS Network Kootenay Outreach and Support Society) organizes the event. Refreshment will

be provided by Street Angels after the ceremony. “At 7 p.m. we’re going to have a memorial — a candlelight ceremony — at Spirit Square in Rotary Park,” he said. Dalton said there will be other things going on earlier in the day for World AIDS Day as well. In the morning there will be an educational piece happening at the college in the morning. “Among the things that we’re trying to underline this year is how fantastic the medication is now,” he said. “It doesn’t cure HIV, but it completely reduces the capacity to pass HIV on. It’s called treatment as prevention, and it’s more than 95 per cent effective against transmission of
HIV for people who are on the medication.” He noted the one stipulation is that people need to get tested to know what their HIV status is. Dalton said that while the anti-retroviral therapy drugs have been around since 1996, it’s been difficult to get support that’s need to broadcast the information to the public. The drugs stop HIV from manufacturing copies of itself. At 3:30 in the afternoon Monday there will be Health Outreach Nurse at Street Angels at 1324 - 2nd Street North. The nurse can do testing and talk about not just about HIV, but also about Hepatitis C and other sexually transmitted infections.
The nurse will be there from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. He said the Health Outreach Nurse is a more recent position and a new approach to dealing with testing and discussion around a lot of these issues. He also attended an AIDS conference in Vancouver. “We’re trying to lose the acronym AIDS, because it doesn’t hold true anymore,” he said. “There are people that are outliving their doctor’s practices.” One recent development is that 20 per cent of new HIV cases are among seniors over 55. “Drugs like Viagra are increasing people’s sexual behaviour much longer and older people don’t think they need protection because they’re not going to get
pregnant,” he said. The ANKORS office in Cranbrook is located at 46 - 17th Avenue South. The number is 250-426-3383. “If anybody has some questions they’d like to ask us, we’d love to answer them,” Dalton said. You can also find more general information on the World AIDS Day website www.worldaidsday.org. The website offers an opportunity to learn the facts about HIV as well as to find out what else you can do for the day of awareness. One of those things you can do is show support for people living with HIV on by wearing a red ribbon on the day. The red ribbon is the international symbol of HIV awareness and support.
Cranbrook dog tag days ahead 2015 dog license renewals being mailed in January F o r t h e Tow n s ma n
Dog owners in Cranbrook are reminded to have their dogs licensed each year — that is the message from City of Cranbrook Bylaw Services Office. Under the City of Cranbrook Animal Control Bylaw 3555, any person that is a resident of Cranbrook and who is the owner of a dog two months of age or older, needs to ensure that they have a valid dog license. No person shall own, keep or harbour an unlicensed dog in the City of Cranbrook.
“I think the public would be surprised at the number of stray dogs we are required to take to the SPCA, because the dog has not been licensed,” says Naomi Humenny, Bylaw Services Officer. “As a result, we have no access to the owner’s information and no way to return the dog home.” If you currently have a dog license, the City of Cranbrook will be sending you a renewal notice in the mail in early January. You are asked to please wait until you get your renewal notice before
visiting City Hall to purchase your 2015 dog license. Licenses issued for dogs are valid for the calendar year (January 1 to December 31) and can be purchased at City Hall. The licensing fee for a sterile dog is $40, and the fee for an intact dog is $60. For more information about dog licensing, you can contact City Hall at 250-426-4211. To review the City of Cranbrook Animal Control Bylaw, please visit the City website at www.cranbrook.ca.
Great huckleberry season helps Kenya orphanage project For the Townsman
This year’s exceptional huckleberry season has enabled “Kenya Orphanage Project” to reach record contributions. Grace and Dave Reeves of Cranbrook, assisted by some other volunteer pickers, make huckleberry jam and pies to sell at the local Farmer’s Market with
profits sent to a Kenyan orphanage where the Reeves once served on a missions trip. The 2014 gift will exceed $8,000.00 , as the Christmas Farmer’s Market is not yet included. Others will yet purchase directly for the holiday season, by contacting Grace Reeves, 4892895, or dandgreeves@yahoo.ca.
• In 2011, $5,000 was raised; • 2012 — $4,500; • 2013 — $6,000; • 2014 — $8,000-plus. The Reeves wish to thank all those who purchase the huckleberry products, making it possible to share the bountiful blessings found on our mountains, with those who have so little.

Centre stage on Remembrance Day What’s Up? Da ryn n B e d n a r c z yk
L
ast year, I entered the Royal Canadian Legion poster contest and my drawing was chosen from 7000 entries to be first place in all of Canada. The grand prize was an all-inclusive trip to Ottawa for the Remembrance Day Ceremony. I had no idea it would be this incredible. We were greeted at the airport by our amazing host Mr. Bill Maxwell of the Royal Canadian Legion. He let us know of the events in the days to follow. There was a private tour of the Parliament building, accommodations at the Chateau Laurier hotel, a wonderful Luncheon and awards ceremony where we met many dignified Legion members and amazing outstanding citizens. We also toured the war museum, in which my drawing is on display in the main lobby. But the highlight of this trip for me was the Ceremony itself. This was a very emotional year in Ottawa due to the tragedy that occurred at the War Memorial just prior to Nov.11, and the re-dedication of the Memorial by Princess Ann. The ceremony hosted more than 50,000 people. I, along with the colour poster winner (Joo Hee Chung), the poetry and essay winners (Sarah Jessica Butler and Hareem Masroor) and Canada’s top three cadets (David Ficht, Teegan Martin, David Joiner) were centre stage. We were personally introduced and acknowledged by Canada’s highest dignitaries, including the Prime Minister, The Governor General, the Silver Cross Mother, and Princess Anne. Together, the four winners presented a wreath on behalf of the Youth of Canada. We also had a grand luncheon at Rideau Hall with the Gover-

Ghomeshi withdraws lawsuit against CBC Canadian Press
The CBC says its lawyers have reached an agreement with former radio host Jian Ghomeshi and he has
withdrawn his $55-million lawsuit against the public broadcaster. CBC spokesman Chuck Thompson says “the civil suit has been
dismissed with costs in favour of CBC.” He says Ghomeshi is expected to pay $18,000 in legal costs to the CBC.
In his lawsuit, the former “Q” radio host alleged defamation and breach of confidence. The agreement
Sun retracts story on Liberal candidate C anadian Press
Sun Media has retracted a story about a Liberal candidate that was based on a secretly recorded conversation by a young Conservative. The story became fodder in the House of Commons last week for several Conservative MPs, including Employment Minister Jason Kenney, to bash Banff-Airdrie Liberal candidate Marlo Raynolds - and, by extension, all Lib-
erals - for their alleged belief that parents can’t be trusted to spend tax savings on their children. The story alleged that Raynolds had said that couples with children would spend money saved from the Tories’ income splitting plan on television sets and cars, not on caring for their kids. The offending quote was recorded by Conservative operative Alexandra Constantinidis
during a conversations with Raynolds and two other men at a public meeting in Canmore, Alta. Raynolds denied he was the one who made the comment and one of the other participants, Tam McTavish, stepped forward to say he was the one who made the remarks. The Liberals are now demanding that the Conservative MPs apologize for maligning Raynolds.
reached between lawyers for the CBC and Ghomeshi still needs to be formalized through a court - a step Thompson says is expected in the near future. Ghomeshi was fired by the public broadcaster last month amid allegations of “abusive behaviour” from numerous women. Police are investigating complaints by at least three of them. Ghomeshi has denied the allegations, arguing in a Facebook posting that he engaged in “rough sex” with women, but insisting it was always consensual.

Privatization: The road less taken
H
ello, my dear residents of Cranbrook. It is I, Roland Brannigan the Third, just arrived in the city! After a fine election I’ve noticed roadwork to be high on the priority list for almost everyone that lives here. In fact the importance of roads has inspired me, because I feel that the future of Cranbrook roads lay not in the hands of the city, but rather in the hands of someone new. That’s why I will be running in the 2018 municipal election. To satiate the lust for crisp, clean, crackless roads, my first order of business once elected will be to fix them all through a few simple changes in the management structures. The days of complaining about potholes and road crevaces will be behind us as every street and avenue will shine like the lustre of a golden spoon. So what is this street saving cure-all that I speak of? It’s quite simple actually and would have so many far-reaching benefits for not only our poor overworked automobiles, but also for the overworked worked taxpayer who every year shovels more money into the street works furnace that would burn no more. The plan begins with the privatization of the roads. The benefits of a systematic renewal of resources of allowing a private
company to take over the maintenance of the roads would have the additional benefit of freeing up some of that city capital to lay that extra sewer pipe or add a few extra scoops of fluoride into the water. So this company, let’s call it Cranbrook Private Roads Corporation, or CraPRoadsCorp for short, would now have a financial imperative to keep the roads up, as the stockholders would be relying on it! And wait, did I mention the added security and safety of toll booths on every street corner? And to save you, the ratepayer money, the tolls Arne would avoid the use of credit and debit cards, optPetryshen ing of course for the convenient coin payments of old. Just think, traffic would stop at every intersection and look both ways as drivers and passengers search for that last coin to pay the tolls — children will be endlessly entertained as they scour the vehicle in the classic childhood game of “find the hidden floor coins”. There will be discounts! Did I mention on certain days the prices will go down? It would be foolish of me not to mention that. And let’s say you are a police officer or ambulance on the way to an emergency, once the booths see the flashing lights, they would round up to the nearest 10 cents, making payments just fly
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
by. I can assure you each and every block will be a gleaming example of a bustling street scape. To minimize maintenance costs, vehicles loads will also have to be kept down. The key would be to keep vehicles with a curb weight below a certain threshold, likely that of a four door sedan. If your vehicle weighs more than that, there will be convenient parking lots on the outskirts of the city, where a taxi service will pick up residents and bring them wherever they like within the city. The service will be an important economic job creator. Of course the taxi service would have to be covered through municipal general taxes, the private company’s duties are just to the roads and to the stockholders. Now the one problem is that of bicycles. The common bicycle zigzagging along the corridors of the city could cause problems for the company-mandated street sweeping machine — a small pittance will come from the city’s coffers to have sparkling clean roads, free from dust, tire marks and tumbleweeds. If streets shining like well-guarded emeralds sounds like something this city needs, the vote for me in 2018. Arne Petryshen is a reporter at the Cranbrook Daily Townsman

Cranbrook bodybuilder earns Pro World Class Athlete status Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Cranbrook bodybuilder Erika Rieve-Palmer poses at the IFPA Yorton Cup World Championships in Oct. 25. The local competitor earned Pro World Class Athlete status at the competition in Washington, D.C., placing ninth in the figure pro tall category.
After months of preparation, bodybuilder Erika Rieve-Palmer took her talents to Washington, D.C., for the IFPA Yorton Cup World Championships Oct. 25. The Cranbrook native finished ninth in the figure pro tall category, earning IFPA Pro World Class Athlete status. “It was pretty intense backstage, watching everyone and looking at them,” Rieve-Palmer said Tuesday afternoon. “It was kind of scary, but it was good. I learned a lot and I met a lot of amazing people. “I feel really good with the outcome. The athletes that were there on stage were amazing. They were probably the best I’ve ever been on stage with. So I feel really good coming ninth. [Those other athletes], pretty much, their whole lives are devoted to the sport.” The tall class is re-
served for female athletes measuring at least 5-foot-6. The trip to Washington marked the first international competition for Rieve-Palmer. A 34-year-old wife and mother of two, Rieve-Palmer an operating room technician at East Kootenay Regional Hospital, meaning she doesn’t quite have the time to dedicate her entire life to the sport, but she’s okay with that. The fact she approaches it as more of a hobby makes her accomplishments all the more impressive. She attributes her success over the past year to the intense workouts and preparation she was put through by coach Laurie Dickson. “I learned a lot from her,” Rieve-Palmer said. “She’s an amazing woman and she coached me through everything, showed me the ropes.” Rieve-Palmer qualified for the championship after obtaining her
IFPA (International Federation of Physique Athletes) Pro Card and NPAA (Natural Physique & Athletics Association) Pro Card by winning IFPA- and NPAA-sanctioned events earlier this year. Having accomplished as much as she has in the year since she began competitive bodybuilding, Rieve-Palmer might “hang up the high heels” for a while in order to focus on her family. Both her children compete with Cranbrook White Tiger Taekwondo, which involves some travelling. Rieve-Palmer was one of only five Canadians competing at the event. She wished to extend a thanks to all those who helped her get to Washington, including coach Laurie Dickson, Wright Publishing, Freightliner of Cranbrook Ltd., Frank Sandor of Sandor Rentals, ISA Abundant Energy, and Jim and Joyce Lepard-Mitchell.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My boyfriend, “Darrin,” and I have been seeing each other for five years. I love him and feel loved by him. He is affectionate and a great listener. I have grown children who are free to pop in and out of my house whenever they please. We also have many extended family get-togethers throughout the year. Darrin will ask me about my kids and siblings and seem interested when I talk about them. But he doesn’t seem eager to make them part of his life. He says he doesn’t like big groups, so he rarely goes with me to family get-togethers. He also doesn’t like to come over when my kids are here and makes no effort to get to know them. When I invite him, he makes up excuses for why he can’t come. My kids think Darrin is distant and doesn’t care about them. Will he be like this if we marry and live in the same house? Is this something that can be worked through? -Wishing for More Involvement Dear Wishing: You need to discuss this directly with Darrin. Tell him you find his lack of interest in your family upsetting and want to know why he doesn’t care to get to know them better. Your children (not to mention your siblings) are important to you, and should the relationship progress, you want to be certain he will not alienate your family. Keep in mind, however, that not all people are close to the children and relatives of their significant others. This doesn’t have to be a deal-breaker. What counts is that he not interfere with the level of attachment that you want. Dear Annie: “Need Some Guidance” said her friend is educated and intelligent, but mispronounces some words. You are right that it is difficult to correct a grownup’s pronunciation, but I believe it is still worthwhile. After all, the objective is to help a friend be seen by others in the best possible light. Many years ago, I was in the habit of using the word “irregardless.” My employer helped educate me. She casually said, “You know, you have such a good command of the English language, it surprises me when you say ‘irregardless.’” She then enlightened me about it not being a proper word, and I will always be grateful she did. -- Know Better Now Dear Know: Several readers weighed in on this. Read on: From Florence, Ky.: As a child, most of my friends and family said “liberry” instead of “library.” During my senior year in college, I was walking with a good friend and said, “Do you want to go into the liberry?” She slammed her books onto the concrete sidewalk and said, “It’s LIBRARY! It has an ‘a’ and an ‘r.’ Say it!” I smiled and said it correctly. She had never raised her voice before. I laugh every time I think of the word and say it correctly now. Simi Valley, Calif.: There are people who were taught to read by memorization and don’t understand that letters have specific sounds. Phonics helps. New York: As a speech language pathologist, I address these issues all the time. It may not be a reflection of education and intelligence, but rather a learning disability. Boston: My husband has always mispronounced words. He once saw a speech therapist, but it didn’t help. I often wonder whether he has a slight form of dyslexia. No matter. We’ve been married for 50 years, and he’s a great person. Pittsburgh, Pa.: In parts of southwestern Pennsylvania, we say “pitcher” for “picture.” We also “redd” up a room, which dates back to an Elizabethan English term related to the word “ready,” referring to removing stones from a field. I have traveled through many American small towns and love hearing the accents and word usages that are unique to specific regions.

Obituaries Walter Ranald Woodske 1943 - 2014
Walter Ranald Woodske, age 71 of Canal Flats, passed away peacefully Friday, November 21, 2014 with loved ones at his side, in Cranbrook. He was born July 20, 1943 in Coleman, Alberta, the son of Albert and Josephine Woodske. They moved to Canal Flats when he was one, and grew up and went to school in Canal Flats. Walter later went to work at Crestbrook Forest Industries where he worked until his retirement in 2001. On his 21st birthday he met June Onfrychuk, and they were married the following year on May 14, 1966. They have four daughters. Walter was very active in the Canal Flats community, as a firefighter and later Fire Chief with the Canal Flats Fire Department, he was involved with the Improvement District and then became a Village Councilor. He worked as a first aider, and he enjoyed curling and softball, and was a member of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church. Walter is survived by his loving wife of 48 years June, 4 daughters Maureen Woodske, Marilyn Woodske, Janice (Brad) Fisher, Kathleen (Kevin) Cuthbert, as well as 4 grandchildren Megan, Katelyn, Courtney, and Lucas.

Obituaries
Obituaries Jean Isabelle (nee Buick) Calder October 25, 1919 – November 20, 2014
Mum passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early morning hours of November 20th at Joseph Creek Care Village. She was born on October 25, 1919 in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. As a young girl, she moved with her parents and sisters to Trail where they lived briefly before moving to Rossland. In 1943, much to the dismay of her family, she travelled to Trail and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force – Women’s Division, was called to duty in 1944 and eventually posted to London, England. Following her discharge, Mum returned to Rossland. In September of 1946, she went on a blind date with a young man from Alberta by the name of David Calder who was visiting relatives. They were married on April 10, 1947. Mum and Dad lived in Castlegar, Rossland, Kimberley, Pine Point and retired to Christina Lake in 1978. They loved living at the lake but moved to Cranbrook in 1999 to be closer to the boys and their families. Mum was active in the United Church in various communities, sang in the church choir in Rossland and Kimberley and played a variety of sports. She loved to play bridge and had an afternoon of bridge scheduled on the day she died. She also enjoyed watching all sports on TV and if the Kootenay Ice and Vancouver Canucks were playing on the same night, she would listen to one on the radio and watch the other on TV. Mum had an incredible memory, a kind heart, a loving soul and a beautiful smile. She survived three serious fractures after her 90th birthday and never complained once. Most of all she loved her family. We will all miss her so much but we are comforted by the memories of her love for all of us, by her peaceful passing and for a long life well lived. Mum is survived by her sons Bill (Diane), Bruce, grandchildren Mike, Debbie, Jenna, Lindsay, sisters Lillian and Beth, brother John (Ruth) Buick, brother-in-law Bill Cameron, sister-in-law Peggy Calder and a cousin, Gladys Henshilwood. She is also survived by eight great grandchildren and many nephews and nieces. Mum was predeceased by her dear David in 2001, sister Margaret and brothers-in-law Sid Simcock, Cy Burley and a special niece, Louise Simcock Pitt. A celebration of her life will be held at Cranbrook United Church on Thursday November 27th at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice in memory of Jean Calder. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

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 theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.
