Cranbrook’s 43rd Citizen of the Year Frank Vanden Broek feted at gala Chamber of Commerce event, Friday, January 29
T R E VO R C R AW L E Y
Roughly 20 years ago, Frank Vanden Broek and his wife, Robyn, were raising their three young children — all under the age of five, while looking after another pair for another family. The stomach flu bug hit the household and the two were run ragged trying to care for the needs of five children who were dealing with an unpleasant illness. In a phone call with his mother, Anne, Frank heard the words that he would try to live by for the rest of his life. “It’s far better to help others than to have to ask others for help,” said Frank, recalling the phrase he heard so long ago from Anne. Frank, along with his family, accepted the Cranbrook Citizen of the Year award on Friday evening at a gala ceremony at the Heritage Inn, as he was feted by members of the public, the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce and local political dignitaries. Frank, who was recognized for his volunteer work with the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund, endured an evening of roasting and congratulatory salutations from friends, co-workers at Sun Life Financial and his fellow Rotarian volunteers. “We’ve really had a lot of good times and created some wonderful memories through all of our rotary projects. We still have lots to do and I just want to thank all of you for the great times we’ve had

In an interview with the Daily Townsman before the event, Frank admitted that the nomination, and the subsequent announcement
that he had been named the Citizen of the Year, caught him off-guard. He recalled being invited to dinner with Dave Struthers — the president of the Cranbrook Chamber of
Commerce, and his wife, Sally, about a month ago. He noted the list of past recipients, and said it was an honour to join those names. “It’s pretty special,”
Frank said. “I look at the past recipients and what they’ve done and it’s interesting, even a lot of those people— those are the folks that I go to when I need stuff and need help and the
business people I need donations and in-kind stuff from. “It’s quite a list and it’s pretty special to be added to that.”
Frank is the 43rd Citizen of the Year, taking the mantle from Derek Kortschaga, who was named to the honour last year.

Baker Street Café opening second location at airport Barry Coulter
Two Cranbrook restaurateurs are expanding their operations. Almost a year after opening the Baker Street Cafe, owners Chris Earle and Crystal Dillabough are opening a second location next week at the Canadian Rockies International Airport. Dillabough says the second cafe will follow the same company philosophy as its sister location at 1115D Baker Street in Cranbrook. This includes sourcing local ingredients and establishing working relationships with local small business owners. “Our aim is to provide fresh, local food and drink while showcasing great products from local breweries, wineries, coffee roasters, bakeries, and artists,” Dillabough said.

Her band members are consummate musicians and the group seamlessly interlock to create a rich tapestry of sound.” Based in Edmonton, Lizzy Hoyt is a singer, songwriter, fiddler,
step-dancer and one of the top Celtic instrumentalists in the country. She was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal by Canada’s Governor General in 2013 for her outstanding contribution to commemorating Canadian veterans and history through music. She has been nominated for and won numerous other awards. Most recently, Lizzy was nominated as Solo Artist of the Year for the Canadian Folk Music Awards. “It will be a true joy to experience her performance with a full symphony orchestra, live on stage at the Key City
Theatre when she joins the Symphony of the Kootenays,” adds Faragher. “Come and join us in a cross-Canada musical expedition and warm your hearts with the joy of music.” Founded in 1975, the Symphony of the Kootenays is a remarkable group of musicians from the BC Kootenays and southern Alberta. Musicians gather for their concerts, performing music from Bach to Celtic folk. Come see and hear what the buzz is all about.

Ballet Jörgen will perform Sleeping Beauty at the Key City Theatre Feb. 4.
Ballet Jörgen performing ‘Sleeping Beauty’ at KCT For the Townsman
Sleeping Beauty is one of the world‘s most famous classical ballets and holds a place in the repertoire of virtually every major company. After more than 25 successful years, Canada‘s Ballet Jörgen will create its own unique classical ballet rendition with its World Premiere Tour during the 2015-2016 season. The Key City Theatre presents the classic tale on February 4 at 7:30 pm This major new ballet tells the enchanting story of Aurora and her prince complete with its inherently magical qualities and dazzling choreography. The fairy tale about a young woman placed under a spell to sleep for a hundred years only to be awakened by a kiss is an easily accessible story. It appeals to a child’s imagination and holds a special place in the hearts of adults. The underlying theme is the tug between the forces of good (the Lilac Fairy) and evil (Carabosse), serving as an important thread to the plot. Told in three acts, the ballet benefits from the character development and technical expertise for which Bal-
let Jörgen is known. The Artistic Director and award-winning choreographer Bengt Jörgen focuses on the magical elements and the interpretation of the ballet as a nature allegory: The young woman represents nature, the wicked fairy is winter, who deadens life with pricks of frost until a young man, spring, cuts away the brambles to allow the sun to awaken sleeping nature. Sleeping Beauty draws on the traditional choreography by Marius Petipa to spin a tale of nature and love that will inspire young and old alike. The delightful story will be danced to the original 1890 score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, set to a libretto based on Charles Perrault’s story La Belle au bois dormant. In ensemble with stunning costumes and captivating lighting design, Sleeping Beauty is guaranteed to provide an evening of entertaining dance and inspiring live performance. Tickets are $45 and $39 for Key City Theatre Members and Dance Students. Tickets are available at the Key City Theatre Box Office 250-426-7006 and Online at www.keycitytheatre. com.

Citizen of the Year celebrated Continued from page 1
During the evening, Frank endured some needling from various dignitaries who stepped up to the microphone, while his fellow rotarians also had some fun at his expense with some skits on stage. In a nod to his former career as the owner of Juniper Lanes, there was some modified bowling, as wine bottles stood in for bowling pins, and loonies substituting as bowling balls. In just a few short minutes, as people ‘bowled’ for the wine bottles, $200 was raised for a Paul Harris Scholarship. His volunteer work with the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club stretches back many, many years. “Frank joined Rotary 15 years ago and our club’s been busy ever since,” said Trent Taylor, the president of the club. “Rotary has a motto—‘Service above self ’—and Frank is truly representative of that motto.” During his time with the club, Frank has served as membership committee chair for the rotary district, youth service director, hosting six students through the Rotary Youth Exchange, and has served two tenures as community service director. “Frank’s always been the idea-man, the instigator of our major

He headed up Paint the Train project, which took three years,” continued Taylor. “I think it’s a testament to Frank’s perseverance. He really stuck with it.” Frank was also one of the main drivers behind the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo, a cycling event hosted annually in September, and has taken an active role within Rotary programs to tackle the eradication of polio, and built an iron lung in his garage. Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt acknowledged Frank’s volunteerism in his address to the crowd. “Your many hours of volunteering have had a very positive impact on our community,” Pratt said. “We sometimes take for granted the community we live in without taking a moment to realize and appreciate those who
often work tirelessly for something we can all enjoy.” Tom Shypitka, a city councillor but also a co-worker at Sun Life Financial, noted that Frank was always happy to help out and give advice on the job. “Always borrow money from a pessimist, because they never really expect you to pay them back,” joked Shypitka. Over the course of the evening, members also got to hear from his former exchange students through a video, and email letters. However, by the end of the evening, Frank himself was able to get up to the podium to thank his family, co-workers and friends…and defend himself from some of the jokes at his expense. “Just remember, there will be payback,”
Frank quipped. He also said he shared the award with his wife, Robyn and his kids—Cody, Patrick and Kara—who were usually dragged, whether they wanted to or not, into whatever project he had on the go. Growing up, Frank was the third of six children, and he credits his spirit of volunteerism to his parents, Frank and Anne Vanden Broek, who were both present at the ceremony. “They really raised us to help others and pitch in whenever we saw a need,” Frank said. “It wasn’t really something that was talked about a lot, they just lead by example. They also showed us it was okay to help out and help others without being publicly recognized. The joy was just in giving and helping.”

Forest industry waits for Pacific trade deal Tom Fletcher Black Press
Wood products producers are encouraged by the Trudeau government’s decision to sign the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the first step to ratifying a sweeping agreement with Japan, Australia and other Asian countries. International Trade Minister Christia Freeland said this week she will take the next “technical step,” allowing the TPP to be debated in the House of Commons. It’s the first signal the Liberals will continue the work started by the Conservative government, which warned
against being left out as the U.S. and Mexico go ahead with the TPP. “All in all we think this is a pretty good agreement,” said Paul Lansbergen, acting president of the Forest Products Association of Canada, in an interview from Vancouver. “A lot of our industry is in rural Canada, and I think it’s important for the government to recognize the importance of the well-paying jobs that we provide,” he said. “And when our economy is having some rough times, particularly oil and gas, really the government should be thinking
about how our economy is diversified.” Lansbergen said the deal not only phases out tariffs against Canadian forest products, it has clear provisions to settle disputes, and rules around blocking imports due to concerns about insects or other contaminants. Some of the TPP partners currently have few forest product imports from Canada because of “prohibitive” tariffs, he said. Vietnam applies tariffs of up to 31 per cent, Malaysia up to 40 per cent and Brunei up to 20 per cent, which would be phased out under TPP.
CONSULTATION FOR A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan Number CRAN-PMP-2016/2021 The City of Cranbrook is renewing a Pest Management Plan and will submit the plan for approval under the Integrated Pest Management Act. This Plan will describe a Mosquito Control Program using Integrated Pest Management, including the use of insecticides. Purpose: Mosquito Control for the purpose of nuisance control. Application Method: Treatment of mosquito larva development sites by hand application. Location: The areas to be included in this Pest Management Plan application are limited to public and private lands within the the City of Cranbrook and surrounding lands within a specific radius (5-10km) of the city limits. Pesticide: Yearly totals up to, but not exceeding: • 1000 ha with Aquabac (PCP No. 26863) (Bacillus thuringiensis var israeliensis) • 1000 ha. with Vectobac 200 G (PCP No. 19466) (Bacillus thuringiensis var israeliensis) A selection of insecticides has been chosen to increase the ability to target mosquito populations in the most environmentally responsible method possible. All products listed are registered in Canada for mosquito control. Aquabac and Vectobac have been chosen to control larval mosquitoes in their development sites. These pesticides are target specific, non-residual, and non-toxic. The City will not treat the total area of all the products listed above, but will choose the best method to treat with the least environmental impact. This project will begin April 1, 2016 and be completed by March 31, 2021. An open house where community members may come and ask questions and provide comments and feedback will be held on Friday March 11, 2016 from 3:00-6:00pm at Manual Training School at 1212 2nd Street North.

Japan, a long-time customer for B.C. lumber, has tariffs of up to 10 per cent on forestry and value-added products such as oriented
strandboard and engineered wood. Forest product exports have done well with the low Canadian dollar, with sales to the
U.S. returning to historic levels after a collapse of the U.S. housing market in 2008. Canada’s softwood lumber agreement with
the U.S. expired last fall, but bilateral wood products trade is exempt from the TPP as it was left out of NAFTA.

Abreast in the Rockies ‘paddles up’ for breast cancer support For the Townsman
The most recent and very successful fundraiser by the Abreast in the Rockies Dragon Boat Team was a raffle for a custom made quilt. The beautifully made quilt was designed, made and lovingly donated by Tanis Rye of Kimberley who is a 40 year breast cancer survivor. Tickets sold quickly and the winner of the quilt was Marianne Marunchak. From this and other fundraisers $2,500 is now being do-
nated by the Abreast in the Rockies paddling team to the 8th annual Starlite Campaign directed to the team’s breast cancer fund. Over the years the funds, stewarded by EKFH, provided funding for a refurbishment of the East Kootenay Regional Hospital’s oncology unit and purchased two sentinel node biopsy probes through a funding partnership with the Kimberley Dynamiters Hockey Club. “It is truly inspiring to see
how committed the Abreast in the Rockies Dragonboat team is dedicated to supporting breast cancer equipment and patient comfort needs at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital,” said Donna Grainger, EKFH Executive Director. “They are absolute role models in showing that there is life after breast cancer.” The Dragon Boat Team established in 2006 and now has over 30+ paddlers made up of breast cancer survivors and
supporters. The role of the organization is to raise awareness of breast cancer and to show that women with breast cancer can lead full and active lives. Funds raised by the group are utilized to help fund various breast cancer projects and team equipment needs. For more information on the Abreast in the Rockies Dragon Boat Team call Sandy Zeznik at 250 417-9376, email: szeznik@shaw.ca. You can also like them on Facebook.

Attack ads are NDP’s new direction
T
he B.C. New Democrats made no apologies last week for a renewed foray into negative advertising, with an online spot that targeted Premier Christy Clark for “five years of photo ops” and meagre results. “We call it a hard-hitting ad,” said party representative Trish Webb. “But sure, if you want to call it an attack ad, that’s your privilege.” The content left no room for doubt because the hard hit was aimed directly at the premier. “It’s been five years of Christy Clark photo ops,” says the voiceover. “Five years of underfunded hospitals. Five years without the schools we need. Five years higher MSP, Hydro and ICBC fees. Five years of Liberal secrecy and scandal.” An image of Clark herself supplied the visual backdrop to the 30-second spot, starting with her announcement of the ill-fated proposal (“Om the bridge”) for a mass yoga demonstration on the Burrard Bridge, and proceeding through a series of newspaper headlines that further substantiated the voice over. Then the punch line, keyed directly to next week’s byelections in Vancouver and Coquitlam: “Send a Christy Clark message. Vote NDP.” Which is entirely in keeping with the “never again” vow the Opposition party took after emphasizing “positive” and “authentic” and “policy-driven” themes over negative campaigning in the last provincial election. “It was, alas, a campaign brief that did not survive contact with our opponent, who was playing from a very different playbook on every point,” as manager Brian Topp noted in the post-mortem he and other NDP staffers assembled on the failure of Campaign 2013. Or, more succinctly: “Positive did not work … The Liberals prosecuted us better than we prosecuted them.” For even as then Opposition leader Adrian Dix insisted on staying positive, Liberals
crafted $1 million worth of attack ads that targeted Dix for fabricating a memo to provide cover to his boss, premier Glen Clark, in a 1990s casino-licensing scandal. “While the BC Liberals attacked our leader in personal and sometimes arguably libellous terms, the premier and her record in government were often off limits,” wrote Topp. “This was a mistake.” While Topp spared neither himself nor Dix in placing blame for those and other failings in the campaign, the more lasting passages were the advice on how to do things differently next time. “The next campaign must contrast the choices Vaughn and remind voters of the Palmer government’s record in clear, compelling and straightforward language from the first day of the campaign,” said the post-mortem. More to the point, NDP policy wonks needed to recognize that election campaigns are increasingly leader-driven. “By deciding never to ‘name the enemy’ — by never mentioning Christy Clark — our campaign lost the opportunity to work with the BC Liberals’ greatest liability — their leader. With the space the BC NDP campaign granted her, she was able to rehabilitate her image within the short 28-day campaign window. This is not a courtesy they returned. “In modern, television-driven politics, the leader is the brand. Politics is personalized, and many voters make their ultimate decisions in the election based on trust and how they respond to the individuals offering themselves as premier. “We went after the ‘BC Liberals,’ and the Liberals went directly after our leader. The leader being the brand, our campaign was less effective even in its closing days. Almost always, an effective campaign must engage the opposing leader by name, every day, and at every level.” Enter the current byelection ad, with its deliberate naming of the enemy, in the per-
son of Clark. Nor was the campaign spokeswoman in the least repentant about it. “What we are hearing is the premier is more interested in photo ops than the lives of the hard-working families in these constituencies where there are byelections going on,” Webb told Rob Shaw of The Vancouver Sun on Monday, the day the ad was first posted on line. “We’re definitely hearing that on the doorstep,” she continued. “It is visceral — people have a visceral response to Christy Clark. They are tired of seeing her in these photo ops. They are tired of hearing her spouting things she doesn’t come through on.” Webb, be it noted, knows whereof she speaks, in terms of the potential effectiveness of negative campaigning. Though lately serving with the city of Edmonton — and before that as senior official at TransLink here in B.C. — she was press secretary to premier Glen Clark in the 1996 campaign, which is the last time the B.C. NDP eked out a win in a provincial election. The New Democrats did so on the strength of a campaign that the 2013 post-mortem characterized, with undisguised admiration, as “overwhelmingly negative,” “personally abusive,” “populist” and, of course, singularly effective. Christy Clark having been on the losing side in 1996 (she won her seat but the Liberals fell short of a majority) is no less schooled than the New Democrats in the dark arts of negative campaigning. Her B.C. Liberals have already field-tested one of their themes, with an “attack T-shirt” distributed outside the last NDP convention, which pictured John Horgan and his crew as “Dr. No and the anti-jobs gang.” So brace yourself to hear much more about “Premier Photo Op” versus “Dr. No.” The matchup will likely extend all the way to May 2017, for the next provincial campaign is going to be a rough one.

Road woes continue as Ice lose two more Red Deer Rebels and Edmonton Oil Kings beat up on Kootenay Ice over two-game Alberta swing
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Life on the road hasn’t gotten any easier for the Kootenay Ice. With only two wins away from Western Financial Place heading into the weekend, the Ice were unable to break through in Alberta, dropping contests to the Red Deer Rebels and Edmonton Oil Kings. Friday, the Rebels cruised to an 8-2 triumph, before the Oil Kings handed the Ice a 6-2 defeat Sunday afternoon. Through 26 road games this season, the Ice are a miserable 2-231-0, having been outscored by a combined margin of 135-50, or 5.19-1.92 per game. “We just weren’t ready to play and there’s no excuses for it at this point in the year,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, regarding Friday’s 8-2 loss to the Rebels. “We’ve been on the road a lot. We’re used to riding the bus. We need to understand that the first five minutes of any hockey game on the road, you have to be a little bit
smarter and simpler. “It starts to sound redundant now. How many more times can we talk about the same issues and not figure it out? It’s extremely frustrating.” Jake DeBrusk spotted the hosts a lead only 34 seconds into Friday’s shellacking, ultimately setting the tone for the first period and the rest of the game. Before the night was 20 minutes old, Grayson Pawlenchuk and Adam Musil piled on to make it 3-0 for the hosts before Zak Zborosky tallied a shorthanded marker. The Rebels topped a three-goal first period by adding three more in the second, as Adam Helewka, Austin Pratt and Austin Strand joined in on the offense to make it 6-1 after 40 minutes of play. Matt Alfaro registered a power-play tally in the early moments of the third, but Helewka and Colton Bobyk responded to round out the scoring and finish off the Rebels’ 8-2 route of the Ice. Sunday afternoon in
Edmonton, the Ice came out seemingly having learned at least one lesson from Friday’s crushing loss. Over a span of 1:41, Zborosky and Noah Philp put up back-toback power-play daggers, getting the Kootenay special teams rolling and providing a critical 2-0 lead midway through the first period. Then the special teams tables turned and the Oil Kings rattled off six consecutive goals, including three in the second period, cruising to a 6-2 victory. “We have a lead and we take two penalties that are in the offensive zone and are unnecessary, in my opinion,” Pierce said. “We weren’t able to get our emotions out of that. Back to some old habits.” Oil Kings left winger Colton Kehler started the special teams turnaround as he collected his 10th goal of the campaign on a power play 5:35 into the second period. Only 1:14 later, Dario Meyer tallied just as an-

Finally, with only 14 seconds left on the clock, Brandon Baddock posted the Oil Kings’ second official power-play goal of the evening and the hosts carried a 3-2 lead into the second intermission. Matters only went
from bad to worse over the final 20 minutes of play as Kole Gable scored 2:55 in before Lane Bauer registered a third power-play goal. Finally, Brett Pollock completed the scoring with a shorthanded marker as only 1:34 remained on the regulation clock. Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin was a busy man all weekend long. The native of Spruce
Grove, Alta., who turned 21 Sunday, faced 49 shots in Red Deer, turning aside 41. In Edmonton, the veteran puck-stopper saw 42 shots and made 36 saves. “As the penalty trouble wore on [in Edmonton], that’s where they got all their shots and it was a pretty tight game up until that point,” Pierce said. “They start loading up on the shot count and it’s going to
Djokovic wins sixth Aussie Open
vs.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia - Novak Djokovic maintained his perfect streak in six Australian Open finals with a 6-1, 7-5, 7-6 (3) victory Sunday that consigned Andy Murray to a fifth defeat in championship deciders at Melbourne Park. Djokovic equaled Roy Emerson’s long-standing record of six Australian Open titles and increased his career haul to 11 Grand Slam titles, including four of the last five, to join Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg at No. 5 on the all-time list. “First of all I need to pay the respect to Andy and his team. Tough match, tough luck tonight,” Djokovic said. “You’re a great champion, great friend, very committed to this sport. I’m sure in the future you’re going to have many opportunities.” Murray became only the second man to lose five finals at one major - Ivan Lendl lost five and won three U.S. Open finals in the 1980s. Murray had his share of distractions, leaving his pregnant wife in Britain - their first child due in February - and his father-in-law being rushed to hospital by ambulance during the tournament. “It’s been a tough few weeks for me away from the court,” Murray said, thanking his support team before turning his attention to his wife, Kim. “You’ve been a legend the last two weeks. Thank you so much for all your support,” Murray said, choking back tears. “I’ll be on the next flight home.”
wear your goalie down. “Wyatt is never going to quit, he’s never going to give up. We need to see more of that from more people.” With the completion of the two-game road trip, the Ice (8-38-4-0) return home to kick-start a season-long, five-game home stand when the Oil Kings (21-23-6-1) visit Cranbrook on 2-for1 Tuesday (7 p.m.) at Western Financial Place.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) People to whom you relate today will appreciate your thoroughness and attentiveness. Communication flourishes, and you will receive positive feedback. You might decide that it’s time for a checkup before you start a new diet. Tonight: Be with a favorite person. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) No one likes to be pushed around, and you are no exception. Knowing when to back away or defer might be very important right now. Communication will flourish once you put the kibosh on a power play. The only way to win is not to play. Tonight: Check out your options. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Focus on getting the job done. You might need to have a discussion with a key party in order to complete this task well. Goodwill will flourish once you complete this particular project. No one can do it as well as you can. Tonight: Put your feet up; you need some time off.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your playfulness comes through, no matter how serious you decide to be. You know when enough is enough. Don’t allow others to push you around. You usually are easygoing, but right now you need to say “no.” Tonight: Make some phone calls, then decide. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You seem to be focused on domestic issues or on a personal relationship. Getting yourself to focus on anything else might be close to impossible. Handle what is brewing in your mind, and then you’ll be free to deal with everything else that needs attention. Tonight: Head home early. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will choose the right words to move a loved one to your side of an issue. You also will recognize that you have the ability to understand both opinions and then assess what you have in common with them. Processing in this way works well for you. Tonight: Be lovable. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Sometimes it might seem impossible to find your way out of a maze. In this case, you’re looking at a financial matter. Don’t hesitate to ask for help; it can make all the difference in the outcome. Communication flourishes once others know of your intentions. Tonight: Overindulge. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) It is nearly impossible to imagine someone saying “no” to you today. Should someone verbalize the word “no” and direct it toward you, know that it took a lot of courage. Be open to hearing opinions that are very different from yours. Tonight: Enjoy the moment with friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) You might want to pull back and do some hard thinking about your alternatives. You will see that you have many other paths to follow, even if you don’t like what is happening at the moment. You can bypass a problem. Why let this get to you? Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t forget your objectives. You could feel challenged by various
groups of people. They might be more liberal, and you might be more conservative, but there is a midpoint where you all can meet. Willingly find it together. Tonight: You will earn the reputation of being a wild thing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are on top of your game. You have unique leadership qualities that will emerge. You also have a strong partnership that you can rely on. You’ll get to play devil’s advocate for someone. As a result, you will come up with even better ideas. Tonight: Celebrate a partnership. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Keep reaching out for more information. A friend or associate could be very difficult and cantankerous. You will need to take the high road with this person. Understand that you will need to decide how to handle your responses. Tonight: Music helps brighten your mood.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I was going out of town on business for a week, and a couple I know jumped at the chance to house sit. I offered to let them stay at my place in exchange for taking care of my cat. I asked in advance what staples they would want, so they wouldn’t have to shop immediately after their arrival. I was happy to provide these items. I even bought extra treats. When I returned a week later, my kitchen pantry was bare, my fridge was totally cleaned out and there was no toilet paper, shampoo, moisturizer or laundry detergent. I don’t know how they could have used so much in seven days. I live alone and know what I keep on hand, and it is a little annoying to run out of things in the middle of cooking or taking a shower. What am I expected to provide? Should they replace items they use up? When an item is ruined and no mention of it is made, should I say something? Is it acceptable to ask the sitters to leave a list of the items they used? Would it have made a difference if they house sat for a longer period of time? -- Just Wondering. Dear Wondering: Although there is no hard-and-fast rule, it makes sense to put certain things in writing. Create a folder with the important information, including how to reach you, a contact number for a neighbor or friend in case of emergency and details about how to take care of pets and plants. Then print up a basic agreement stating whether or not they can bring people into your home; what items you do not want them to touch (including things like moisturizer, etc.); which rooms are off-limits; where to put the trash and recycling; whether or not they can use your car; how to access the laundry machines and any other specific instructions, including replacing used-up necessities if you so choose, and that they are responsible for broken or damaged items. If they stay longer, you may need to work out the details regarding mail delivery, heating and air-conditioning, etc. Each of you should sign this and keep a copy. Be sure the sitters have clean linens and towels, space in the closet and dresser for their things, and enough food for at least a day or two. Lock up your valuables and keep a list of the things in your house. Make sure other people know that you will be out of town and that these people are house-sitting. And yes, if they ruined something, you can ask them to compensate you. Dear Annie: I love your advice and almost always agree with you. But “Tired of Sex, So Blame Me” said her husband is sexually selfish and was like that in his 20s and 30s. She says sex is still all about him. If he was sexually selfish in his 20s, why did she marry him? And if she was willing to marry him knowing this, what on earth makes her think he would change? Your advice was sound, but I also think she needs to accept some of the responsibility for her current situation. -- B. Dear B.: We agree that too many spouses marry with the unrealistic expectation that the partner will change. But we also know that it serves no purpose to chastise someone for a poor decision made 30 years ago.

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.
5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web
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

Garibaldi ski resort gets B.C. approval Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government has issued an environmental assessment certificate for Garibaldi at Squamish mountain resort, proposed as a major competitor for North Shore ski hills and Whistler-Blackcomb resort. The project has faced strong commercial and environmental opposition over 15 years, and the approval comes with 40 conditions and cautions about its impacts to the area. The Squamish Nation is a partner in the Garibaldi project, which proposes expansion over 25 years to a 22,000-bed year-round resort village on Brohm Ridge near Squamish. It includes 23 ski lifts and 124 developed ski trails, scaled down from the original plan that included two golf courses and more housing. Squamish Nation Chief Ian Campbell said the certificate is the first step in getting the project going, and more ap-
provals will be needed from his council and the province. “Squamish Nation will obtain a licence over a wilderness area that will be equal in size to the project area to practise its aboriginal rights,” Campbell said in a statement. “Although the project is controversial, Squamish Nation is comfortable that its cultural and environmental interests have been protected and that it will share appropriately in the economic benefits of the project.” In issuing the certificate, Environment Minister Mary Polak and Forests Minister Steve Thomson noted that the proponents made significant changes during environmental assessment. They include changing the water supply from Brohm River surface water to groundwater, as well as removing golf courses and housing near Cat and Brohm Lakes, which are popular recreation lakes for Squamish residents.

Proposed resort west of Garibaldi Park would be the latest addition to existing mountain resorts along the Sea to Sky Highway. Whistler council has lobbied the B.C. govern-
ment to reject the project, arguing it would take

business away from existing resorts, rather than draw more skiers in a “cluster effect” as argued by its proponents.
The Federation of Mountain Clubs of B.C. has also opposed the development, suggesting it may result in a move to
expand into Garibaldi Park, as was the case with the Whistler-Blackcomb expansion.
