Fire Hall future fans flames of debate ARNE PETRYSHEN
As Monday night’s city council meeting was drawing to a close, Coun. Danielle Cardozo brought forward her concerns about the nature of the debate about putting Fire Hall no. 1 up for sale. Cardozo said there is a lot of feedback coming in from the public on the issue and she would like to see more
public input brought forward before council makes a decision. “It’s been made clear that there is a lot of voice — for, against. Whether it has to do with the Arts Council or not, it’s heritage, it’s culture. Clearly residents of Cranbrook are saying they want to have a voice in this. I would like to see some sort of community consultation
on this regarding the use — whether it be preservation, selling, arts council, private interests, anything.” Cardozo asked if the communication department could look into a consultation process that would be far-reaching and cost-effective. Mayor Lee Pratt responded with his opinion on the matter. He acknowledged
that there has been a lot of discussion on the issue, but said most of it has been one-sided. He said on top of the letters to the editor in the newspaper, he’s been inundated with emails from people who don’t live in or pay taxes to Cranbrook. He said they also have a strong opinion on the matter. “A lot of it seems to be directed to a specific group
of people, namely the CDAC (Cranbrook and District Arts Council),” Pratt said. “All credit to them — they’ve done a great job organizing that — but the truth of the matter is I don’t think the public realizes the money that the city spends on arts and culture in Cranbrook.” Pratt said he is taking part in an exercise at the moment
“When dispensaries have gone to court, the court consistently recognizes that we’re helping people, that the federal government’s medical marijuana program is a failure; and they are not willing to treat it like a serious crime.”
to find out how much the city has spent. “I know last year one arts and culture organization got almost $146,000 from the city,” he said. “I know that this year, my rough estimate is we have already allotted $300,000 to the arts and culture. The issue that we’re hearing is that we’re not supporting it, and that’s not true.” Pratt said his message to the public is that if you’re not in favour then get your voice heard. “By all means, let’s be heard,” Pratt said. “It’s that silent majority that we keep thinking about.” But Pratt also noted that the fire hall was an issue in the election as pointed out in a recent Letter to the Editor. “I believe 100 per cent that it was, and I would also point out the fact that it seems that everybody that was in favour about it didn’t get elected or re-elected,” Pratt said. “We’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars, of time and money of the city on this issue and going to a referendum or prolonging it further is just going to cost more money. The end result is that I think we were elected to make a decision and we should do that within the next couple of weeks and get on with it.” Coun. Tom Shypitka agreed. “I think the people of Cranbrook need a voice, and we’re that voice,” Shypitka said. “To ask any further is kind of anti-production on what we were elected to do. There’s a lot of hard decisions to be made. I think we’re all intelligent people up here. I think we’ll look at all the facts. I think nobody’s biased one way or another, we’re all looking out what’s best for Cranbrook.” Coun. Norma Blissett pointed out that it is really two issues — the future of the fire hall and a location for the arts council.

Couple wants to open medical cannabis dispensary CAROLYN GRANT
Medical marijuana is a growth industry, says Tamara Duggan of Kimberley. Duggan and her husband, Rod, were at Kimberley City Council on Monday evening, informing Council of their plans to open Tamarack Dispensaries, purveyors of high quality medicinal
cannabis products, in Kimberley. Medical marijuana can be distributed through Health Canada, but that only allows for the purchase of dried plant product from authorized growers. But Duggan says there are many who could benefit from the medicinal qualities of cannabis
who don’t wish to inhale it. Their plan is to promote the use of edible cookies, butters, oils and tinctures in a storefront that is “upscale and clinical”. “Image is everything in the dispensary business,” Duggan said. “We will be as presentable and professional as any pharmacy.”
Tamarack Dispensaries will be a member of the Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries. The CAMCD’s vice president is Dana Larsen, who headed up the decriminalization of marijuana petition last year. “I like to say we are not legislated,” Larsen said.

The Week On The Beat: Part II What’s Up? A r n e P e tryshen
This is part two of the police report that covers the week of April 6 to 12. For part one, see yesterday’s Cranbrook Daily Townsman. April 9 2:15 a.m. An abandoned 911 call turned out to be a domestic dispute. 2:31 a.m. BC Ambulance requested assistance after getting a call that a male riding a bicycle was hit by a vehicle and may have been injured. Police located the vehicle that hit the cyclist, but could not locate the cyclist. 9:09 a.m. An individual stopped by the police station to report an assault that occurred the week before. The matter is now under investigation. 9:28 a.m. An intoxicated male was reported on Baker Street. Police located the individual who turned out not to be intoxicated, but had a mental health disorder. The person apologized and moved on. 9:54 a.m. Police received drug information. 2:38 p.m. An individ-
ual requested that police keep the peace while they pick up some belongings from a residence. 4:04 p.m. A caller reported seeing an individual riding what was possibly a stolen bicycle. When police arrived the individual on the bike was no longer around and police could not locate them. The bike is a green Norco mountain bike with different size tires, backwards forks and different colour rims. If you see a bike with that description, give police a call at 489-3471. 6:28 p.m. Police were requested to help keep the peace during a custody matter. 6:57 p.m. A female was intoxicated and causing trouble in the Baker Park area. Police located the woman and arrested her for breach of court ordered conditions not to consume alcohol. She was lodged until sober and has been charged criminally. 10:49 p.m. A tractor trailer was reported to be blocking traffic. April 10 9:10 a.m. An ongo-
ing noise problem was reported. 10:59 a.m. Harassment between ex-spouses was called in. 11:03 a.m. A caller reported that cattle were on the loose in the Ha Ha Creek area. 1:57 p.m. An intoxicated male was caught urinating on a local business. He was arrested and lodged in a cell until sober. 5:52 p.m. Residents reported that a neighbour was riding an unlicensed motorcycle around the block. Police attended and spoke to the rider, who had recently purchased the bike and was planning to put insurance on it soon. Police issued a verbal warning. 6:20 p.m. A phone scam was reported. The scammer said the person had won a free night at a fancy hotel and they just needed to provide some information. 7:12 p.m. Report of a fight in front of a local liquor store. Police attended the location and one of the combatants was still on the scene, but the other had left the area. Police spoke
Couple aims to open dispensary Continued from page 1 “Government programs are simply not meeting people’s needs,” Duggan told Council. “It’s simply a matter of time before legislation will govern this industry. If it’s not us, it will be someone whose vision is different from ours.” In the meantime, the Duggans have consulted with local RCMP Constable Chris Newel. “We will work closely with the RCMP to ensure legitimacy and accountability in our business operations.” Newel said the RCMP would ensure the business operated within the laws and regulations set down by Federal Government and Health Canada. Duggan says she grew up with a strong ‘say no to drugs’ message and has never touched drugs, including marijuana. However, when her husband Rod was injured four years ago and she watched him deal with chronic pain, that changed. Last December, they visited a dispensary in Vancouver and he tried the medicinal cannabis. There was a marked improvement in his condition. “I got my husband back,” she said. “Medical marijuana should be made
available to those who need it.” Rod Duggan says that there are quite a few people in Kimberley, at least 100 that he is aware of, that need alternatives to opiates. And the business would hope to draw customers from Cranbrook as well. Their product would be lower THC and focus more on the medicinal benefits of cannabis. “I would support it 100 per cent,” said Coun. Bev Middlebrook. “I know people with MS who need it.” Coun. Nigel Kitto, says in his role as a registered nurse he often comes across people who need medical marijuana but don’t smoke. Council had some concerns about security, but the Duggans said the product would not be on display and kept in three safes in the store. There would also be a security system. They say they believe in responsible stewardship and would only sell to eligible customers who meet stringent qualifying criterion, such as prescriptions. As legislation is brought in, they say they would welcome more rules governing the business. The Duggans hope to open Tamarack Dispensaries by mid-summer.
with the individual there, but the second person could not be located and no further action was taken. 7:42 p.m. A caller reported seeing a child standing in the rear cab of a pick-up truck, and worried that the child wasn’t secured. The licence plate was obtained and police spoke to the driver. The matter was forwarded to the Ministry of Children and Family Development for further followup. 8:10 p.m. A caller reported getting harassing phone calls. They are likely related to a family matter. 10:10 p.m. An officer on patrol pulled over a vehicle. The driver had been consuming alcohol and failed the roadside screening device so was issued with a 90day Immediate Roadside Prohibition and 30 day vehicle impound. 10:15 p.m. A vehicle hit a deer. There were no injuries. 11:22 p.m. Neighbours reported a loud backyard bonfire party. Police spoke with the individuals, who were all co-operative and agreed to keep the noise down. There were no further issues reported. April 11 4:11 a.m. A possibly impaired driver was reported, but police could not locate them. There were no further calls. 9:01 a.m. Report of vandalism. A rock was thrown through the window of a local business sometime overnight. 10:21 a.m. Another business reported having a rock thrown though their window in the same area as the last call. 12:04 p.m. A missing youth was reported. A short while later the caller said the youth had been located walking down the street by a family member. 2:34 p.m. Three young children were left in a vehicle outside a local grocery store. When police arrived at the parking lot, the vehicle was gone. The li-
cence was obtained by the caller and police tracked down the vehicle and spoke to the owner, who explained that the children had been left in the care of the eldest, a 12 year old. Police determined that the child was capable of looking after them for that amount of time in this instance. 6:38 p.m. A dispute was reported between landlord and tenants. 9:43 p.m. An officer on patrol encountered an intoxicated female. The woman was arrested and lodged in a cell until sober. 10:01 p.m. A single vehicle accident was reported. There was one minor injury. 10:33 p.m. A caller reported hearing gunshots in the area near Gordon Terrace Elementary School. However the noise turned out to be fireworks. April 12 12:04 a.m. A possibly impaired driver was reported outside of town. However when police located the vehicle it was parked in a safe location and though the person had consumed alcohol, they were staying the night in the location. No further action was taken. 1:22 a.m. A person was reported missing. The person was located, but intoxicated and cold, so was taken to hospital for further assessment. 7:36 a.m. Items were reported stolen from a local apartment. Those items included cash and identification. There are no suspects at this time. 5:27 p.m. A caller reported an attempted theft of gas from a vehicle parked at a business. 8:16 p.m. A possible impaired driver was called in. The vehicle a Nissan Maxima was swerving and having a difficult time staying in the proper lane. Police located the vehicle and determined the driver was not intoxicated, but had a learner’s licence and was charged with failure to display it on the car.

The Importance of Being Burdon UK Rock Icon Lives Up to His Legend
Ferdy Bell and
B
ritain’s venerable blues-rock legend Eric Victor Burdon was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1941, and was lucky to make it out of the crib; as an important British seaport on the North Sea coast, Newcastle was heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe during World War II, but the embattled citizens of that city endured and triumphed. The tough Northern working-class stoicism of postwar Newcastle provided the ambition and drive that has seen Burdon remain a vital musical force around the world for over five decades. Burdon’s musical career began at the tender age of 16, playing trombone in the Pagan Jazzmen (which, after the addition of keyboardist Alan Price in 1959, swiftly evolved into the Pagans — focusing on electric blues). The UK’s burgeoning blues-revival scene (spearheaded by Cyril Davies and Alexis Koerner) enthralled Burdon, who was quickly respected around the Newcastle scene as a powerful vocalist and an energetic stage performer. He spent the turn of the 1960s as a journeyman singer, briefly sharing bands with other future UK luminaries such as (Rolling Stones drummer) Charlie Watts and (Cream bassist) Jack Bruce before reuniting with Price to form the nucleus of what became one of the most popular UK bands of the 1960s: the Animals.

The Animals exploded internationally in 1964 with their searing interpretation of the traditional folk-blues classic “The House of the Rising Sun,” which went to Number One in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, Sweden, and Finland. It remains the band’s most recognizable song, although the Animals cannot be casually mistaken as onehit-wonders; as one of the first-wave bands in the so-called “British Invasion” pop phenomenon of the early/mid1960s, the Animals were outranked in transatlantic chart action only by the Big Four (the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, and the Kinks), and were the first of the new UK stars to emerge elsewhere than Liverpool or London (future Newcastle-based musicians such as Lindisfarne highly credit Burdon & Co. for opening indus-
try doors to Northern bands). The Animals’ hits are many: “We Gotta Get Outta This Place,” “It’s My Life,” “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” “Monterey,” “Sky Pilot,” “San Franciscan Nights,” and the deeper album cuts are as strong as the familiar tunes. Sadly, internal tensions within the band split the original lineup in 1966; Alan Price went on to a successful solo career, while bassist Chas Chandler made his own name in rock history by discovering and managing the then-unknown Jimi Hendrix. Undaunted, Burdon assembled further crackerjack lineups for the Animals and has kept the train a-rolling ever since. Note: John Lennon nicknamed Eric Burdon “The Eggman,” which found its way into the Beatles song “I Am the Walrus.” Fact.
Burdon’s heartfelt love of black culture and black music found him briefly enjoying a parallel career as lead vocalist for the Californian funk-rock band War, whom he first joined forces with in 1969. Thrilled by the band’s multi-ethnic openness, their adventurous funk-blues-soulreggae fusion, and their lyrical focus on brotherhood and harmony, Burdon lent his bellowing baritone to War’s best-known single “Spill the Wine.” Burdon’s stint with War was also notable for the last living performance of Jimi Hendrix; the iconic guitar hero sat in with War for almost 35 minutes at a September 1970 concert; Hendrix died the next day. Burdon himself left War after collapsing from a sudden asthma attack mid-tour; War continued enjoying much 1970s success with hits such as “Slipping Into Darkness,” “Low Rider,” “The Cisco Kid,” and “Why Can’t We Be Friends.” In true never-say-die Newcastle spirit, he re-focused his considerable frontman energies after his recovery, both with new Animals lineups and yet another bold musical experiment: the Eric Burdon Band. The EBB was a pioneering hard-rock / heavy-metal unit which fit neatly into the new blues-based, high-volume, post-psychedelic scene rising with the success of Deep Purple, Vanilla Fudge, Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express, Beck-Bogert-Appice, Free, and the mighty Led Zeppelin. EBB recordings have now become prized col-

And for the past 40 years, Eric Burdon just has not stopped … something very few of his surviving original British Invasion contemporaries can boast. A regular favorite at blues-rock festivals across the world, a sought-after collaborator for young modern artists, and a consum-
mate professional, he continues to write and record new material, he refuses to rest on his laurels, and is more than happy to merely please himself … although millions worldwide also remain more than pleased. It remains an admirable and enjoyable experience to witness a true living legend on-
stage here in the East Kootenay. It’ll certainly be a show not to miss. Take a good look at Mr. Eric Burdon, Ladies and Gentlemen: you’ll never see another one like him again. Eric Burdon and the Animals perform in Cranbrook at the Key City Theatre, Thursday April 16.
Council considers future of old fire hall Continued from page 1
“I’ve had a few people say to me, ‘Hey, you’re thinking about selling the fire hall? Where did that come from?’” Blissett said. “If we separate out those issues … Certainly having the arts council in the fire hall is one thing, selling a public building that is part of our historical heritage in Cranbrook is another issue.” Blissett said she wanted to look at the issues separately. “Maybe we don’t need public input on the arts
council, because there has been a fair bit on that, but certainly if it comes up that we need to sell the fire hall, I think that’s another issue that we may need public input on,” she said. Cardozo noted that one of the reasons the city has been put in this position is that the old fire hall was not managed properly. “Do we want to set the precedent that if it is an asset that’s not managed properly we just turf it?” Cardozo asked.
Pratt disagreed on the management. “It was a fire hall. It served it’s purpose. It came to the end of it’s life as a purpose. I think you’re treading on thin ice there, saying that it was not managed properly, because it wasn’t managed (at all),” Pratt said to Cardozo. “Right now we’re here to manage it properly.” Pratt said they have a vacant building that will cost a lot of money to renovate up to code. He said if they sell the building that’s not the end of it.
Pratt also brought up the criticism that cities like Nelson have a vibrant heritage presence downtown. “I keep hearing ‘what about Nelson? Look at all the lovely buildings they have downtown.’” Pratt said. “They’re great, but they’re not owned by the city. Those are commercial enterprises that own those buildings and good on them they’ve preserved them. I can tell you that Nelson taxpayers didn’t pay to preserve them. That’s the issue we’re looking at — this is a corpora-
tion, we have to make a corporate decision… a sound business decision on that building. Selling it is not necessarily a poor decision, because there are rules and regulations around it.” Pratt said they may put it up for sale and nobody will want it. “But if somebody does come along, we look at their proposal and it could well be a very good proposal for that downtown revitalization that we’re looking for,” Pratt said. “But I think we have to explore those op-
portunities.” Shypitka noted that he would never want to see the building destroyed. “It’s a heritage status building,” said Coun. Isaac Hockley. “You can’t” Shypitka said selling the building doesn’t mean losing the building. “We’re just like Mayor Pratt suggested: Doing the responsible thing for our taxpayers,” Shypitka added. Coun. Wesly Graham was absent from the meeting.

It
The Armenian Genocide
is with great reluctance that I write about the Armenian genocide, as I know from experience that what I say will infuriate both sides. But it is the hundredth anniversary of the catastrophe this month, and Pope Francis has just declared that the mass killing of Armenian citizens of the Ottoman empire in 1915 was indeed a genocide. Turkey, predictably, has responded by withdrawing its ambassador from the Vatican. Well, surprise! We’ve been listening to this argument for several generations now, and it rarely gets much further than “Yes, you did!” “No, I didn’t!” Unfortunately, I know a lot more about it than that. Ages ago, when I was a history graduate student doing research about Turkey’s role in the First World War, I got into the Turkish General Staff archives in Ankara and found the actual telegrams (written in the old riqa script) that went back and forth between Istanbul and eastern Anatolia in the spring of 1915. Later on I saw the British and Russian documents on their plans for joint action with Armenian revolutionaries in the spring of 1915, so I also know the context in which the Turks and Armenians were acting. And I can say with some confidence that both sides are wrong. There was an Armenian genocide. Of course there was. When up to 800,000 people from a single ethnic and religious community die from violence, hunger or exposure in a short time, and they are under guard by armed men from a different ethnicity and religion at the time, it’s an openand-shut case. (Today’s Armenians say 1.5 million died in 1915, but that’s too high. It could be as few as half a million, but 800,000 is plausible.) On the other hand, the Armenians des-
perately want their tragedy to be seen in the same light as the Nazi attempt to exterminate the European Jews, and won’t settle for anything less. But what happened to the Armenians was not pre-planned by the Turkish government, and there was provocation from the Armenian side. That doesn’t remotely begin to justify what happened, but it does put the in a somewhat differGwynne Turks ent light. A group of junior offiDyer cers called the Young Turks seized control of the Ottoman empire in 1908, and their leader, Enver Pasha, foolishly took the empire into the First World War at Germany’s side in November 1914. He then led a Turkish army east to attack Russia, which was allied to Britain and France. That army was destroyed in the deep snow around Kars — only 10 percent of it got back to base — and the Turks panicked. The Russians didn’t follow right away — poor generalship — but the Turks had almost nothing left to stop them if they did. The Turks scrambled to put some kind of defensive line together, but behind them in eastern Anatolia were Christian Armenians who had been agitating for independence from the empire for decades. Various revolutionary Armenian groups had been in touch with Moscow, offering to stage uprisings behind the Turkish army when Russian troops arrived in Anatolia. Learning that the Turks had retreated in disarray, some groups assumed the Russians were on their way and jumped the gun. Similarly the Armenian revolutionary groups further south, near the Mediterranean coast, were in contact with the British command in Egypt, and had promised an uprising to coincide with planned British landings on the Turkish south coast near
Adana. Quite late in the day the British switched their planned invasion much further west to Gallipoli, but once again some of the Armenian revolutionaries didn’t get the message in time and rebelled anyway. Enver Pasha and his colleagues in Istanbul simply panicked. If the Russians broke through in eastern Anatolia, all the Arab parts of the empire would be cut off. So they ordered the deportation of all the Armenians in the east to Syria — over the mountains, in winter, on foot. (There was no railway yet.) And since there were no regular troops to spare, it was mostly Kurdish irregulars who guarded the Armenians on the way south. The Kurds shared eastern Anatolia with the Armenians, but the neighbours had never been friendly. So many of the Kurdish escorts assumed they had free license to rape, steal and kill, and between that, the lack of food, and the weather, up to half the deportees died. To the extent that the Turkish government knew about it, it did nothing to stop it. More Armenians died in the sweltering, disease-ridden camps they were confined in once they arrived in Syria. It was genocide through panic, incompetence and deliberate neglect, but it cannot be compared to what happened to the European Jews. Indeed the large Armenian community in Istanbul, far from the military operations in eastern Anatolia, survived the war virtually unharmed. If the Turks had only had the sense to admit what really happened fifty or seventy-five years ago, there would be no controversy now. The only duty of the current generation is to acknowledge the past, not to fix it (as if they could). Instead there has been a hundred years of blank denial, which is why the issue is still on the international agenda. It will stay there until the Turks finally come to terms with their past.

Canadian roster for IIHF Worlds takes shape Stephen Whyno Canadian Press
Todd McLellan will coach a young but talented Canadian team at the world championships next month in Prague. McLellan on Tuesday was named coach of Canada’s team, which will feature forwards Tyler Seguin, Claude Giroux and Nathan MacKinnon and defenceman Aaron Ekblad. The 47-year-old McLellan, a native of Melville, Sask., just finished his seventh season behind the bench for the San Jose Sharks. He was an assistant at the world juniors in 2000 but will be coaching Canada at this tournament for the first time. Assisting McLellan are former New Jersey Devils coach Peter DeBoer, Carolina Hurricanes coach Bill Peters and Sharks assistant Jay Woodcroft. Like Canadi-
an general manager Jim Nill, McLellan, Peters and Woodcroft all have connections to the Detroit Red Wings.
“This is a coaching staff with extensive experience in the NHL and knowledge of the international game, as well,” Nill said in a statement. “As a management group we are excited to work with this staff and look forward to building a roster and representing Canada in the Czech Republic next month.” Nill, and the management group that includes George McPhee, Claude Loiselle, Pat Verbeek and Sean Burke, already has 19 commit-
ments for the tournament, which begins May 1. Seguin, Dallas Stars teammates Jason Spezza and Cody Eakin and three Edmonton Oilers forwards led that group. Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (pending his foot injury) will play for Canada. The other forwards are Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers, Matt Duchene and Ryan O’Reilly of the Colorado Avalanche, Tyler Toffoli of the Los Angeles Kings and Tyler Ennis of the Buffalo Sabres. The defencemen are Ekblad of the Florida Panthers, Jake Muzzin of the Kings, Tyson Barrie of the Avalanche, Brent Burns of the San Jose Sharks and David Savard of the Columbus Blue Jackets. The goaltenders are Mike Smith of the Arizona Coyotes - the expected starter - and Martin

Jones of the Kings. Duchene and Smith won gold with Canada’s Olympic team in Sochi. “We could not be more pleased with this
first group of players who have committed to representing their country,” Nill said. “This group includes a fantastic mix of youth
and experience, and these 19 players are ready to get over to Europe and wear the red and white of Team Canada.”
Canada can register four more players, including one more goalie, before facing Latvia to open the tournament.

Dear Annie: How much can I ask my host about etiquette for her overseas wedding? I live in Canada. The bride is French. I met her when she was briefly living in my hometown. She went back to France two years ago, and now she’s getting married there. The wedding invitation was sent to my name only, and there was not any kind of RSVP card that I’m accustomed to seeing. So I’m unsure whether I am welcome to bring a guest, since attending would involve a rather lengthy journey. Would it be acceptable to email the bride and ask her whether I can bring my boyfriend? I don’t want to put her on the spot, but I also don’t want to bring my date to a country where he doesn’t speak the language and then stick him by himself for the day, only to find out later that they had expected me to bring him. -- Beaucoup Baffled Dear Baffled: Did the invitation appear to be formal or informal? If informal, it is perfectly OK to ask the bride whether you can bring a guest. If it is formal, however, you’d have to be more circumspect. Email the bride and say that you would love to attend her wedding, but you aren’t certain you are up to making such a long journey by yourself. If she wants you to bring a guest, she will then tell you so. But if she doesn’t make such an offer, you can assume that her guest list is limited, sorry.
My husband had terrible breath, but he also had a very rigorous oral care routine, which made me wonder what else could be going on. Having been a dental assistant, I was aware of various odors from different oral diseases. The smell was not from what he ate. I ate it, too, and didn’t have such an odor. It was the worst thing I had ever smelled, and I just knew it was metabolic in nature. His dentist simply told him it was “not dental in nature.” The doctor told him he was “fine.” Finally, after three months of worsening gastrointestinal symptoms, his doctor gave him a blood test, and a colonoscopy showed a fist-sized tumor. He underwent chemotherapy and was graced with a lovely ostomy bag. But during this time, the breath issue went away. When it recurred, it was because the lesions on his liver had spread. He passed away two months later.

I would get that man in for a full physical, including a colonoscopy. It could save his life. -- Been There Dear Been There: Halitosis is often a result of poor dental hygiene, but it also can be due to oral problems, throat issues, gum disease, infection, certain foods and sometimes gastrointestinal difficulties. Some of these, as you have pointed out, can be quite serious. Please, folks, we want you to stick around for a long time. You must be an advocate for your own health. If you suspect something is wrong, be persistent. Annie’s Snippet for Income Tax Day (credit author Arthur C. Clarke): “The best measure of a man’s honesty isn’t his income tax return. It’s the zero adjust on his bathroom scale.” Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

ewspapers are not a medium but media available for everyone whenever they want it. They are growing and evolving to meet the consumer’s interests and lifestyles and incorporating the latest technological developments. This is certainly great for readers and advertisers.

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 – 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 AOL’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: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” 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 sites’ 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

The KES Great Birdhouse Adventure J e f f Co o l b au g b
Kootenay Educational Services (KES), formerly known as the Mt. Baker Annex, is for students from grade 10-12 needing a smaller site, a flexible schedule and an individualized program in a separate setting from Mt. Baker. Staff members provide strong mentorship to students and assist them in setting realistic goals and educational programs to fit their needs. Part of the KES philosophy includes extra and cross-curricular experiences to promote healthy lifestyle choices, and positive community/educational connections. KES recently received a grant from BC Government House Foundation: Stewards of the Future, to construct and place large birdhouses in the Cranbrook area. As a school, we designed the birdhouses, used Mount Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shop area to cut material, constructed and decorated the houses, and finally bused out to the Cranbrook spray irrigation fields area to hang all 16 of the finished product. Students had the opportunity to work positively as a team not only to cut and construct a finished product they could be proud of, but also to learn first-hand the effects of their efforts for wildlife in our local area. They learned that because of the increased man-made ponds in this area, there is greater ecosystem diversity that attracts animals from small amphibians and turtles, to numerous bird species, right up to large ungulate populations. The larger size birdhouses we constructed will promote habitat and nesting of ducks, kestrels, small owl species, woodpeckers and smaller songbirds. Students also used GPS technology to map out the locations for future observation providing them with a foundation for wildlife research fieldwork. Overall, the students had a rich, hands-on experience to see and understand how the different species in our area fit into the overall biodiversity of our beautiful corner of the world. We definitely plan to visit the new houses next year to see what has moved in. Photos submitted
