Railway museum setting off in new directions A R NE PE TRYS HEN
The Canadian Museum of Rail Travel is setting off on a new track that directors hope will make a more diversified destination museum for the area. The relaunch will see the museum become the Cran-
brook History Centre. At city council on Monday, Charlotte Murray, executive director of the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, said they aim to increase sustainability while expanding audiences, and increase the value of the museum to
the people of Cranbrook, while being responsible stewards of the collections. “Interest in our trains has been declining, to survive we needed to broaden our appeal,” Murray said. In 2013, the board and director at the time deter-
mined that the organization needed to go in a new direction. They determined that the guiding principals would direct the new direction. “Broadening our audience base is going to be huge,” Murray said. “We will
engage our residents by changing exhibitions which will focus on history, art, culture and nature.” Murray said they will also be creating new programs, such as education programs for students and families, and special events.
“We want to engage our community — we want to bring the residents of Cranbrook into that facility,” she said. “I think for too long we’ve been at arms length and we want the community to know that we are open for business, we are welcoming and that it is indeed for the citizens.”

The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died following a police shooting in Castlegar on Jan. 29, 2015. The man was Waylon Jesse Edey, aged 39, of Yahk. Mr. Edey was shot following an encounter with RCMP officers which occurred during the evening of Jan. 29, near the east end of the Kinnaird Bridge on Highway 3 in Castlegar. He was transported to Kootenay-Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, but succumbed to his injuries a short time after his arrival at hospital. The BC Coroners Service and the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) continue to investigate this death. The mandate of the IIO is to investigate whether any offences under the Criminal Code may have been committed by the police officers involved. The mandate of the BC Coroners Service in such cases is broader, and the coroner’s investigation may look at the events that led up to the final fatal outcome and whether there are reasonable and practical recommendations that could be made which might prevent future deaths in similar circumstances.

Amost 200 people will be affected by the closure of Target in Cranbrook.
Everything must go
Target liquidation to begin as early as Thursday Tre vor Cr awley
Though Target Canada is closing down stores across the country, there is products on the shelves that must go. With that in mind, the company is seeking a court-approved process to allow liquidation companies to sell off store contents potentially as soon as Thursday. Target Canada announced mid-January that it will be closing down operations at 133 locations just two years after setting up shop north of the 49th parallel. Roughly 17,000 employees will be affected across Canada and 200 in Cranbrook. Store closures will vary by location, according to a company spokesperson, when the announcement was make two weeks ago. Brian Cornell, Target Corporation CEO, cited profitability concerns— the company didn’t foresee Canadian operations becoming profitable till 2021—as the reasons for filing for bankruptcy. “When I joined Target, I promised our team and shareholders that I would take a hard look at our busi-
ness and operations in an effort to improve our performance and transform our company,” said Cornell, in a press release. “After a thorough review of our Canadian performance and careful consideration of the implications of all options, we were undoable to find a realistic scenario that would get Target Canada to profitability until at least 2021. Personally, this was a very difficult decision, but it was the right decision for our company.” Cranbrook’s Target location opened up on May 7, 2013. “The Target Canada team has worked tirelessly to improve the fundamentals, fix operations and build a deeper relationship with our guests. We hoped that these efforts in Canada would lead to a successful holiday season, but we did not see the required step-change in our holiday performance,” said Cornell. “There is no doubt that the next several weeks will be difficult, but we will make every effort to handle our exit in an appropriate and orderly way.” With files from the Canadian Press
Some parts of Marysville under Boil Water notice C AROLYN GRANT
Some residents of Marysville have been under a Boil Water Notice since Monday, February 2. All users of the Matthew Creek system (including Marysville, Kimberley Golf Course, Riverside Campground, River Bend Lane, River Bend Road, River Ridge Way, Tamarack Lane and Sunflower Drive), have been ordered to boil water until further notice. The issue was a mechanical fail-
ure which has caused a lack of chlorine residual in the system. By Monday evening, city operations staff had restored the chlorine residual to normal levels, but were unable to rescind the Boil Water Notice until water submitted for testing was given the okay. It is expected the order will be rescinded today or Thursday. The City will post the informaiton on its website kimberley.ca and also on their Facebook page as soon as the order is lifted.

Murray said it is difficult for museums to find a balance between, restoration and interpretation of their collections. “We’re doing this by assessing our collection and determining what is our prime ship of revenue generators and determining what will happen to the rest of our collection,” she said. Back in 2013, the museum board engaged a marketing agency. The agency determined that the museum’s vision for the future was not accurately described in the name Canadian Museum of Rail Travel. The Cranbrook History Centre will act as an umbrella for Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, the Cranbrook Archives, the Royal Alexandra Hall and the Cranbrook Museum. The Cranbrook Museum will have galleries with local history exhibits, geology, palaeontology and natural history. “This will encompass all that we are in Cranbrook,” she said, adding that between Calgary and Vancouver there is nothing that quite meets up to what the museum has. “We have huge potential.” She said they want to enhance the “nationally important” collection of railway legacy. “This is something that we want to build on. We want to enhance our collection and scale down to something that is significant.” Murray said they are also decreasing reliance on financial support from the city over time in favour of self-reliance. “We are working to maximize the return on the city’s investment for the five years, we want to multiply the funding that we have attracted from provincial, federal and private sources. Already we have attracted millions of dollars in capital investment from non-municipal sources.” She said over the past 10 years they have raised over $8.2 million. They hope to raise between $1.5 and $2.5 million from non-municipal and private sources in the next five years.

Charlotte Murray, executive director of Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, was at city council Monday as part of a delegation to talk about the move toward Cranbrook History Centre. Murray is pictured here back in September 2014. Coun. Isaac Hockley noted that the museum would be a great location for the Cranbrook and District Arts Council. Murray said she has a list from some time ago that outlines the art
council’s issues with moving in there. Murray also saw issues. “We have considered this, but we just don’t feel that it is a partnership that would work for each other,” she said. Coun. Norma Blissett
was excited about the prospects of the museum and hoped to see some logging history. Council will have an opportunity to view the facility later in February and discuss the changes coming to the museum.

Halcyon days in southeast BC Geoff, old friend: I feel so sorry that you never made it here to visit us, and climb with us in this lovely valley. I know you’ve been to the Himalayas but, as you told me, you really didn’t do much there because of the politics and those companions of yours who wandered over into Chinese territory and caused all the ruckus. I know that you and I with the gang had at least one season in the Alps at Chamonix, but being able to live here at the foot of the Rocky Mountains has been a wonderful experience. If you had managed to visit us, I most certainly would have tried to bring you in from the west, from Vancouver. Most friends and relatives that came here did so by way of Calgary and they most certainly enjoyed the drive through the Rockies and the national parks but they missed the joyful sight of the Rockies and Fisher peak that you get when you drive from the Coast. When almost here in Cranbrook, you would have come past deep, chilly Moyie Lake and then, suddenly, the valley would have opened before your eyes and you’d have seen why we chose to live here. To the west of Cranbook and our neighbouring town Kimberley are the Purcell Mountains which, in many places
even taller than the local Rockies, lie back and present wooded hills, long meandering valleys with snowy peaks in the distance. To the east stand the Rockies, the long ridge of the Steeples, the arrowhead of Fisher Peak, the aptly named Teepee and ridges continuing along beside the valley and the roads north. When we first came to live here, there had been a great deal of mining, much of it during the war, and Peter many companies were still the forests and so Warland logging there were dirt roads going up almost every valley. If we took care to keep out eyes open as to the activities of the logging trucks, we could use those roads and get into the heart of the mountains and find ways up them. In many of the upper basins there was little evidence of anybody having been there before us. We followed game trails and found our own ways. They were exciting days. I well remember entertaining Dick’s visiting daughter Caroline and naming a tiny lake after her. We swam in that lake but she stayed in the frigid water for ages. It was only later that we found out that she had a job teaching scuba diving in the sea off Scotland. My cousin Ron stayed with us and he had the thrill of watching four grizzlies cross our path as we drove up a steep, eroded road. My
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
cousin’s daughter, a real Londoner called Elaine, followed us along the ridge beyond the Lakit Lookout one day until we heard her plaintive cries of “’Ere, Wite for me!” We waited. The Simpsons, Alan and Joan enjoyed themselves and we spent several sunlit days with them on the ridges, the only real excitement being that Joan got her foot wedged in between some rocks and we had to cut off her boot. We’ve climbed almost all of the peaks in this area except, maybe, some of those crumbling ones in the middle of the Steeples. Some folk claim that they’ve traversed the lot, but I not sure. The odd thing is: almost all of our mountain friends have been immigrants as we were. When we first arrived here the locals rarely ventured into the mountains unless prospecting for minerals or, more likely, hunting. I recall one fellow watching us through his binoculars as we yelled and screamed, glissading down a steep snow-slope and then, when we got to him, being baffled because we were neither hunting nor prospecting. But things have changed over the last sixty years. The once almost deserted mountains have tracks all over the place and, on a sunny weekend in summer, the local Rockies can crawl with people like downtown Vancouver. You missed the halcyon days, old friend. Pity.

Opposite directions Avalanche winless since November; Lady Avs continue to rise Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The situation can’t get much worse for the College of the Rockies Avalanche men’s volleyball team. With a pair of losses to the Columbia Bible College Bearcats this past weekend, the Avs have dorpped seven consecutive matches and sit in the PACWEST basement. Friday, the Avs battled but came up short in a five-sets loss (16-25, 25-16, 17-25, 25-18, 1115) to the Bearcats. Saturday, the visitors made quick work of the hosts in a straight-sets sweep (11-25, 18-25, 2225). “Mentally, we’re deflated. We have to start over again being one
[set] down,” said Avs assistant coach John Swanson on Saturday. “Whether we win or lose, it’s just how we play. You can lose by making positive mistakes, or trying to play aggressively. But when you’re playing passively or afraid -- that just sets the tone for the match. “Give the guys credit. In the second and third sets, they became more competitive. But why that first set is that way -- it’s a maturation process; it’s a mental toughness kind of process and it’s what we’ve been working on all year. It’s still a work in progress, obviously.” In 18 matches to date, the Avalanche have only managed to win their first set four times.
This weekend, the Avs welcome the fifthplace University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades to Cranbrook in hopes of finding a way into the win column for the first time since a fivesets victory over Capilano University Nov. 29. While the men continue to struggle, the Lady Avs continue to build on unprecedented success. Head coach Andrew Zurrin’s group improved to 9-9 with a pair of straight-sets victories over the Bearcats this past weekend (25-20, 2520, 25-13 - Friday; 25-21, 25-20, 25-20 - Saturday). “If we played clean and hit enough balls, we knew we could take [the Bearcats] out,” Zurrin said Saturday. “They

I knew their lineup -- we matched up well against it. “ Zurrin was forced to draw from his bench Saturday, with injuries to a number of his regular starters. The depth of
Zurrin’s squad was on display, giving the Lady Avs’ bench boss confidence moving forward. “Not only were we a tight team before, but we have become a better, full team because everybody has contrib-
uted,” Zurrin said. “Everybody knows they have self-worth as an Avalanche player.” The Lady Avs face UFV this weekend, trailing the Cascades by two points in the standings. A pair of victories would
vault the Lady Avs into fourth place in the PACWEST. The ladies hit the court at 6 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. Saturday. The men provide the encore at 8 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday.

Less than six weeks ago, Jared Marchi thought he might not be able to suit up for the Kimberley Dynamiters again during the 2014-15 KIJHL season. Tuesday, the 19-yearold was back with the Nitros on home ice for the first time since that frightening moment, scoring the game-winning goal in a critical 7-2 victory over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats. “It’s a great feeling to be back,” Marchi said Tuesday. “It’s exciting. I honestly can’t explain it.” In the dying minutes of a 2-1 loss to the Fernie Ghostriders Dec. 29, Marchi crashed into the boards before being wheeled off the Fernie Memorial Arena ice on a stretcher. “Extremely painful and it wasn’t fun,” Marchi recalled. “At that point, I was just really worried as to whether I’d be able to play hockey again for the rest of the year, or even skate.” What Marchi didn’t know at the time was he had suffered a pelvic injury that, in spite of the excruciating pain, would only keep him out of the lineup for nine games through the month of January.
Marchi, a part of the Nitros leadership core, made his return to duty Jan. 30 in Creston. He credited his physiotherapist as well as the Dynamiters bench staff for his quick return to action. Marchi cashed in on a shorthanded, two-onone opportunity, taking a pass from captain Jason Richter, to put his team ahead 3-0 in the first period Tuesday. The goal stood as the game-winner and the Nitros built a five-point lead on the Thunder Cats for second place in the Eddie Mountain Division and home ice advantage in the first round of the KIJHL playoffs. “He’s pretty much our heart and soul,” Richter said of Marchi. “He’s one of our hardest working guys. He’s reliable out there. You know when he’s out there that he’s not going to make many mistakes because he is such a good player and such a veteran player. He’s got tons of experience in the league. It’s definitely nice having him back.” Marchi wrapped up the night with a goal and an assist. Since his return Jan. 30, the 5-foot-11 forward has chipped in with two goals and four points in three games. Richter chipped in
with two assists, pushing his way into a tie for the KIJHL scoring lead with 36 goals and 62 points through 48 games. The Cranbrook native is tied atop the leaderboard with Fernie Ghostrider Doan Smith (35-37-62), who was injured this past weekend and out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.
“I try not to think about it. I could really care less if I win [the scoring race] or not,” Richter said. “It’s all about the team and how many points the team gets. We just want homeice advantage.” The Nitros host Fernie Friday at 7 p.m. Visit dailytownsman. com/kijhl/ for more.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have a family history of cardiovascular disease and lost my mom to a heart attack when she was only 32. To be preventive about my own health, I had something called a vascular wellness screening: a check of my arteries for atherosclerosis, the plaque that builds up in our arteries as we age. The tests were easy, painless and held at a local church. I had some mild blockage in the arteries of my neck, but nothing serious at the time. Two years later, my doctor recommended that I repeat the tests. This time, my left neck artery was significantly blocked. This signaled to my doctor that my heart arteries could be blocked, too, and tests showed that to be true. With my family history, there was no doubt that I was at high risk for heart attack and stroke, but I wouldn’t have known without the screening. I encourage people to get their arteries screened. Most people don’t think about the health of their arteries or know the word “atherosclerosis,” but getting these tests could help you know what is going on inside your body before something serious happens. Work with your doctor, and share your test results so that he or she can use them to help you stay well for as long as possible. -- Joan P. in New Jersey Dear Joan P.: Thank you for this timely information. February is American Heart Month. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in this country. Those who have a family history of heart disease or stroke and feel that a screening would be beneficial should contact their doctor or any local hospital or university health center to set up an appointment. For more information on American Heart Month and how to maintain a healthy heart, check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website at cdc.gov/Features/HeartMonth or the American Heart Association (heart.org). Dear Annie: My wife’s college roommate visited us for five days. She turned out to be the Visitor from Hell. Here’s what happened: She strongly recommended that we take her to a certain restaurant that serves great food. We took her three times, at her request, and guess who paid the bill. My wife prepared all the other meals, and our guest never once offered to take us out. In addition, she didn’t even bring us a small hostess gift, which, although we didn’t need one, would have been thoughtful and appreciated. During her entire stay, this woman bragged nonstop about everything she has done and will do. She used my computer several times and had me print out one article after another for her personal use. I tried to be nice, but by the fifth day, I lost it, especially when she asked my wife to wash her dirty clothes. Before leaving, this inconsiderate guest expressed the wish to return next year. My wife puts up with her eccentricities, but I can’t. What do you suggest? -- Frustrated Husband Dear Frustrated: Unless your wife is willing to ask her friend to stay at a hotel for at least part of the visit, nothing will change. There’s no reason you both have to put up with this guest. Let your wife enjoy a few days with her ex-roommate while you visit family or friends elsewhere, either for part or all of the time she’s there. Dear Annie: This is for “Tolerant in the Land of Enchantment,” who pointed out the necessity of blowing one’s nose when eating red and green chili at Christmastime in New Mexico. “Tolerant” is obviously a transplant to our area. First of all, it’s chile, not “chili.” Chile start out green on the vine and turn red when ripe. In New Mexico, both are popular. When ordering chile, some folks can’t decide which to get and order “Christmas,” which means both red and green chile, regardless of the time of year. -- A Northern New Mexico Native Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user. 2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand
extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.
3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach. 4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper
Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Digital City can top this.
6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.
7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to find our about new products,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to receive information about companies,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.â&#x20AC;? At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35. 8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns. 9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.
10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium. SOURCE: Newspaper Association of America
