Dillon Flowers from the Kimberley Novice Nitros goes for the puck against the Glacier Avalanche from Whitefish, Montana last weekend in Sparwood. Kimberley pulled out the win.

The Cranbrook RCMP detachment have nabbed one of Calgary’s most wanted in a drug bust on January 11.

Robert Bach, 35, who is wanted on charges of robbery in Alberta, appeared in Cranbrook Provincial Court on January 16 where he pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine. He was sentenced to one month in custody – to be served at a B.C. institution.

One of the arrested, Robert Bach, was one of ten most wanted on a Calgary Crimestoppers Website.

The possession charges stem from a search warrant executed by the Cranbrook RCMP detachment on January 11 at 8th Street N in Cranbrook.

Hospice Society expands to Kimberley End of life comfort, bereavement support among services offered CAROLYN GRANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

As first reported in 2012, the Cranbrook Hospice Society is expanding into Kimberley.

This week at Kimberley City Council, Don

and Jeany Davidson from the Hospice Society reported on how the integration has gone thus far.

“We are pleased to report that the expansion into Kimberley is going very well,” Don Davidson said. “We are also pleased to announce that we graduated 10 more trained volunteers last November and five of them were from Kimberley.

“We are now in a very good position to start providing services on an ongoing basis.”

The name has officially been changed to the Cranbrook Kimberley Hospice Society and three Kimberley residents now sit on the Board. They are Joanne Lamb, who was formerly responsible for a great deal of the Interior Health services provided out of Kimberley, Kim Miller, who is a social worker, and Jackie Van Zyll, a physician currently on hiatus while raising her young children.

While pleased with that number, the Davidsons said that more board members from

Kimberley would always be welcome.

The Hospice Society provides support during the end of life process, for both the dying and their family. That support extends through to bereavement support.

Volunteers are selected to try to match client’s interests, and those volunteers will visit in the hospital, at home, in an extended care facility — wherever the client happens to be.

A younger, hotter Cranbrook (and it’s not us) Annalee Grant Townsman Staff

There are plenty of Cranbrooks out there – but the newest one to be added to the world map is one to watch.

That’s right, Cranbrook has a new family member, this time in Devonshire, England.

The new town will be a low carbon community.

The location is strategic — it’s far enough away from other towns to be its own entity, but close enough that residents can commute.

But the new Cranbrook has many of its own offerings to draw in families and residents of all sorts.

The new community already has a school, named St. Marten’s.

Local historian Dave Humphrey – and when we say local we mean Cranbrook, B.C. local – has already been in touch with the school there to see if a relationship can be built between the Cranbrooks, young and old.

The new Cranbrook has an advantage as cit-

ies around the world work to become carbon neutral and more environmentally friendly: new Cranbrook got the chance to start from scratch, and thus has been creating a community that reduces resource use and limits carbon emissions.

“This has been an enormous challenge for the local authorities and developers of Cranbrook, to create a sustainable, vibrant and attractive new town from scratch,” the town’s website says.

One of the most exciting and far-out features of the new town is a community heating feature to be powered by biomass fuel. It is currently under construction.

“This scheme will serve the whole community at Cranbrook and would mean reduced energy bills and hot water always available,” the community’s website reads. Could you imagine fighting with your Cranbrook neighbour for hot shower water in the morning? The residents of the Devonian Cranbrook may do just that when they take their place in one of the thousands of homes being constructed. The community claims it will be the first development in the country to offer the feature on such a large scale.

The first families moved into the town

The newest addition to the fine family of Cranbrook towns will look something like this. last fall. The town was built with community buildings being put in place as soon as possible, before many of the residents take possession of their homes.

That way new residents have access to social, government and recreation facilities right off the bat. One of the first buildings to pop up

was the multi-purpose building.

One of the challenges of building the new Cranbrook was to keep the region’s historic character in tact. The developers had to balance the needs of a 21st century resident while continuing the feel of a historic market town.

Their rich fabric of buildings and infrastructure reflects the collective wealth of their social and political history, but moreover they are quintessentially Devonian.”

The seat of government is not in Cranbrook, but council duties are conducted in nearby East Devon.

They reported on January 16 that developers are working on 400 new homes, and all but five have been sold.

Arts co-op appeals to Council C AROLYN GRANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

A newly formed group, the Howard Street Artist Cooperative, approached Kimberley City Council this week with a request for funding.

Representing the cooperative was Ryan Doggart. The group is operating out of the former medical clinic building on Howard Street and they have a vision of the entire space being used as a working studio with retail space, room for music lessons, a recording studio and more.

“We don’t want to be a gallery, but a space where artists can work,” he said.

Unfortunately, Doggart told Council, before many of those plans can come to fruition, the building must be brought up to code, something the owner cannot afford at this time.

The group is interested in seeing how the City feels about buying the building in return for 80 per cent shares in the co-op. The price on that would be $275,000.

He said he realized that it was asking a lot at this particular time, but that the whole idea might as well be presented.

Council listened with interest, though there didn’t appear to be any eagerness for the building purchase.

“It’s an interesting concept,”

said Mayor Ron McRae. “I applaud you for exploring it, but purchasing the building? That would require some level of conversation.”

Coun. Bev Middlebrook asked Doggert if his group had approached other arts organizations such as the Marysville Artisans or the Kimberley Arts Council/Centre 64.

Doggert said they had not yet approached the Centre 64 Board, though they intended to, and the Marysville Artisans had been contacted but hadn’t shown much interest.

Council referred the matter to the Administration Committee for recommendations.

Waiting for the market to change C AROLYN GRANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

What can Council do about expired business development permits? The short answer is, not much, says the City’s Manager of Planning Services Troy Pollock.

Pollock was asked by Coun.

Don McCormick at the regular Council meeting this week if there was something the City

could do to speed development on such projects as the one at 49 Deer Park Avenue, the old Watkins school site, which has stood undeveloped for many years.

“There is not much you can do to make a developer take action,” Pollock said. “We keep in touch, but we can’t make them renew an expired permit or turn the shovel. I think they are waiting for the market to improve.”

Coun. Jack Ratcliffe said that the City could only step in if there were issues about payment of taxes.

Coun. Albert Hoglund pointed out that if the owners of 49 Deer Park wanted to proceed they would have to come back to Council for a new development permit as Council had already granted them one extension which has now expired.

brook detachment said cocaine is typically sold in half-gram to onegram portions, and the seizure is considered a major one for the combined detachments.

“Drugs are a concern to everyone in the community,” he said.

Three of the four are now facing charges of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and one male was released without charges.

Bach and another person remain in custody, while a third has been released and will appear

in court later this month.

Bach was one of Calgary’s most wanted criminals last year, wanted on charges after a violent robbery, according to Newel. He had been residing in Cranbrook, however Newel did not say how long he had been residing here or what originally brought him to the Cranbrook area. The man’s warrant has been in effect in Alberta since November 15, 2012.

Crown counsel Andrew Mayes said after Bach serves his sentence it is expected that Crown

counsel in Alberta will apply for a Spring Order to the Supreme Court to have Bach returned to Alberta to face the robbery charges there.

Newel said the Cranbrook and Kimberley detachments often work together on complicated files like this. They also collaborate with the Elk Valley, other Kootenay communities and beyond if the matter calls for it.

“Drug traffickers are not confined to one city or town,” he said. “They don’t have boundaries.”

Selkirk Principal’s message CLINT DOLGOPOL For the Bulletin

Happy New Year! We would like to welcome everyone back to school after what we hope was a nice and relaxing break! We are excited to welcome Elli Paschienyk back as a Special Education Assistant and Jodie Smith-Hodgson as a Noon Hour Supervisor.

Marilee Quist For the Bulletin

In November last year, the Garden Club members got very creative with their evergreen centrepieces and wreaths. We all had a good time and left the meeting with tangible evidence of our artistry!

It was the first time I had made a centrepiece and by keeping it watered it was still in good shape when I finally dismantled it on January 5 to make room for something else.

The Garden Club is looking forward to a new year of interesting educational programs. We spent part of our January 9 meeting brainstorming program ideas and by the end, had only one fall month for which we purposely hadn’t planned a program. As

The top 10 scams of 2013

More ways to part you from your money Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

It seems like everyone is getting used to picking up the phone to hear the whistle of a cruise ship with an offer for a free trip, or the chance to clean up your Microsoft computer – both things that sound suspicious and too good to be true.

Most people recognize these calls or emails as a scam, but money is

still being gleaned from vulnerable members of society year after year.

The Canadian branch of the Better Business Bureau has released its top 10 list of the most prevalent money-grabbing schemes of the year.

This year’s theme is “just in case a scam is around the corner,” and the BBB is offering tips for even the most business savvy consumers. this year the list was developed by the BBB, BC Securities Commission, Consumer Protection BC, the Competition Bureau of Canada, the RCMP and the Vehi-

The top advertising scam is advertising trolls, which troll websites like Craigslist offering to sell your listing for a fee.

“These companies are trolling through online ads to find someone to make a quick buck from. Companies often guarantee to sell vehicles quickly and promise a money-back guarantee.

Problem is that these guaranteed vehicle brokers rarely sell your vehicle, rarely provide refunds, and only post your own ad to other free online listings – charging you a $500 fee for things you probably could do yourself for free,” writes the BBB. They encourage sellers who are contacted by a company claiming to be able to sell your vehicle or nick-nack to check them out on the BBB.org website before committing.

Online dating can be a great way to meet someone special – but unfortunately scammers are well aware of that.

“Your online romance scammer builds a relationship, sometimes spending several months in building a rapport online with the intention of making you feel that you are in a romantic relationship,” the BBB says.

And eventually, the person, who claims to be

in a far away country needs money from you to meet for the first time.

“Around this time, the criminal will note that they can’t afford to travel and will seek assistance from you in covering travel costs. Sometimes there’s an emergency, a sick family member for example, and that they need financial help from you to visit the sick individual.”

It all ends with a broken heart and bank account, after the money is wired. The BBB says the following are signs that your new romance is too good to be true: Someone has claimed to have fallen in love with you quickly.

That person wants to immediately leave the dating site to use instant messaging or email.

They claim to be from the U.S. or Canada but they are working overseas.

They’ve asked you for money or to cash a cheque.

They are coming to visit you soon but an event prevents them from visiting.

They have no close family or friends to turn to when they need help.

The next scam targets the wallet and those with an entrepreneurial spirit.

Investment fraud targets victims through social media or a web ad. eventually your identity is stolen. The BBB has some “don’ts” to protect you.

“Don’t expect to get rich quick. Be careful with your personal information. Don’t be lured by claims of ‘insider information’.”

The top financial scam this year is affinity fraud, which targets a group of people known to each other. It pits a leader in the group against the others to get money out of them.

“To be successful, scam artists need to earn the trust of an influential person in a group, family, or workplace. Once they establish this bond – and this can take time – they use this connection to get their hands on the money of other people in the group. In some cases, they may even pay the influencer to help them out, never telling the person that the investment is really a scam,” the BBB says. for information on red-flags that could sig-

nal a scam, visit www. investright.org. rogue door to door contractors do often have a legitimate service to offer – but often it includes shoddy workmanship and high-pressure sales tactic.

“These types of offers include, a deal to seal or repave your driveway, a roofer with left over material from a previous job, a furnace repair that you didn’t schedule or a gas fireplace ‘inspection,’ the BBB said. “These fraudulent ‘contractors’ use high pressure sales tactics and offers of a onetime deal to entice or frighten consumers into expensive and often unnecessary home repairs.”

The BBB said get all the information on the company written down, and be leery if you are asked to pay in cash or with a cheque and the contractor offers to come back later to finish the job.

“You will probably never see them or your money again,” the BBB said.

A common scam that many have been the victim or recipient of, is the virus fixing scheme. An unsolicited person calls to warn you that your computer is infected with a virus, and offers to clean it up for a fee.

“The scammer is trying to gain remote access to your computer and get your credit card information,” the BBB said.

Any unsolicited call for virus removal should be suspect. The BBB said you should hang up the phone immediately, and never click on internet ads offering similar services.

Scammers have sunk to a new low: targeting youth with text message prizes. The scammer sends a text out offering a fabulous prize, but the youth must enter a pin number and email address online.

“Then, you are taken to a form and instructed to fill out your name, cell number, mailing address and answer unrelated personal questions, such as “Are you interested in going back to school?” and “Are you diabetic?”

When you reach the page to “claim your gift card,” you instead find yourself directed to another site to apply for a credit card.

They are looking into bereavement support for children, which would be offered through the schools.

Another priority for the Hospice Society is a needs analysis, a look at what services are available, where they overlap and where gaps occur.

Davidson reported that the Society had evolved through different funding models through the years and have now built one they feel can be sustainable. He said rather than relying on grants, which can and do dry up, the Hospice Society runs on a very lean budget.

“We get occasional donations and we are a United Way organization,” he said. “We manage to eke out as needed and we keep costs to a bare minimum.”

Top scams From Page 1 In the end, you never receive a credit card and you have given out personal information,” the BBB said. Another key point is that the texts will often ask you to text “stop” or “No” to cease future messages. This is a further scam.

The top business scam is pretender invoices, when scammers send an invoice or bill requesting payment for services you have never received or requested.

“For example, you might be sent an invoice for a domain name that is very similar to your current domain name or for a small amount of stationery. The scammer hopes that you don’t notice the difference and just pay the invoice.”

Bring ballet to downtown Cranbrook

In

her best-selling book, “The Death and Life of Great American Cities,” the late Jane Jacobs said cities go through a cycle of growth and decay with some managing to reverse the cycle and grow again by taking back their downtowns.

Doing this creates “a ballet of the sidewalk,” by breathing new life into crumbling inner cities and recapturing their souls, said Jacobs, who’s generally considered the greatest urban geographer that ever lived.

I don’t think Jacobs, who lived half her life in Toronto, ever visited Cranbrook, but if she did I could see her eyes lighting up at the sight of our downtown, which is a text book example of a downtown with a lot of potential, but still looking for a soul.

I know this is not news. In the Cranbrook Connected plan, “Restore the Core” is identified as one of the “Eight Big Ideas” to put our city on the road to civic sustainability. City Council has responded with a downtown revitalization bylaw providing a five-year tax break for businesses that upgrade or expand their premises. The Spirit Square project helped to kickstart a downtown revival with the gazebo bandstand in Rotary Park, the new Wall of Honour and leveraging money for the repaving of 10th Avenue and improvements to the sidewalks. The Farmers’ Market has been a huge success and has even expanded into the winter months, and the recent announcement by Heidi’s Restaurant of a new brew pub downtown bodes well for the future.

So, as far as downtown goes, there is definitely some good news, but we would be sadly deluding ourselves if we thought the battle for our beleaguered downtown is over. What’s needed is more ideas, more investment and more vision if our downtown is to become the heart and soul of the city again as it often appears in Jim Cameron’s Janus column in the Daily Townsman. What follows in no particular order, Gerry then, are a few ideas of my own Warner along with others I’ve gleaned from fellow Cranbrookians that would love to see our downtown become the dynamic, vital, beating heart of the city again.

“Redeveloping the old Super Value lot is the lynch pin to downtown revitalization,” says Chris Ayling, one of the main forces behind the Cranbrook Connected plan. That along with mixed residential/ commercial development downtown “would be the number one thing to seeing more people downtown after 6 p.m. and not just going to the bars,” Ayling says.

Ironically, the fire last year that leveled several old buildings on Baker Street could be the key to getting something new happening on the venerable old street, says well-travelled Cranbrook Councillor Bob Whetham. In his travels, Whetham says he’s seen cities in South America and Europe with covered, transparent, pedestrian walkways or “gallerias” that give easy access to stores and shops in all kinds of weather. “We need something unique that would create excitement downtown,”

Whetham says. In the winter issue of “Cohere,” a fine new cultural quarterly about Cranbrook, writer Sioux Browning points to several advantages to living and doing business in downtown Cranbrook, but also points to a major disadvantage – “Baker Street is a stub, blocked at both ends.”

Speaking strictly for me, I couldn’t agree with Browning more. Several bad decisions by previous City Councils have virtually walled off the downtown from the rest of the city. No wonder tourists and travel writers are always talking about “the strip” because they never see downtown with the way the streets are configured now. And frankly, despite some fine stores, restaurants and entertainment facilities downtown, there simply isn’t enough of them and the access is inconvenient.

So what are we going to do?

I admit I can’t offer any magic answers, but why not try to build on the success of the Cranbrook Connected process? Why not a “Restore the Core” task force or committee strictly manned by volunteers with strong connections to City Hall, the Downtown Business Association and the Chamber of Commerce? I’ll even volunteer to chair it if there’s any interest.

Could we ever create “a ballet of the sidewalk” in downtown Cranbrook? We’ll never know if we don’t try.

Bears hire CFL coach Trestman ANDRE W SELIGMAN Associated Press

CHICAGO - The Bears hired Montreal Alouettes coach Marc Trestman on Wednesday to replace the fired Lovie Smith, hoping he can get the most out of quarterback Jay Cutler and make Chicago a playoff team on a consistent basis.

It’s the first head coaching job in the NFL for Trestman, a longtime assistant in the league who spent the past five seasons coaching the CFL’s Alouettes and led them to two Grey Cup titles.

Trestman was an offensive co-ordinator with Cleveland, San Francisco, Arizona and Oakland.

Chicago general manager Phil Emery cast a wide net in his search, meeting with at least 13 candidates. Besides Trestman, he also brought back Seattle Seahawks offensive co-ordinator Darrell Bevell and the Indianapolis Colts’ Bruce Arians for second interviews.

Smith was let go after nine years, ending a run that included a trip to the Super Bowl but also saw Chicago miss the playoffs five out of the past six seasons.

The Bears, who have scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m., are turning to the 57-yearold Trestman in part because of his background with quarterbacks.

He worked with Bernie Kosar as an assistant at the University of Miami and again when he was on the Browns’ staff in the 1980s. Trestman helped the Raiders reach the Super Bowl at the end of the 2002 season with an offence he geared for QB Rich Gannon, the league’s MVP that year.

In recent years, Trestman has worked as a consultant in the NFL and in the off-season helped develop quarterbacks entering the league - including Cutler. His biggest task will be maximizing the man behind centre and getting the offence to click.

KOOTENAY ICE

Ice defeat Raiders 3-2 in OT TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Make that two in a row for the Kootenay Ice. Sam Reinhart was the overtime hero against the Prince Albert Raiders on Wednesday night in Saskatchewan, scoring his second goal of the game for

Kootenay’s second win in as many days.

The road hasn’t been kind to the Ice this season, but it appears as if the team’s fortunes are changing.

Kootenay erased a two-goal deficit in the final frame as the Raiders scored a pair of goals in the opening period.

Mackenzie Skapski stood tall in the crease for the Ice, stopping 38 shots, while Luke Siemens, in net on the other side of the rink, made 31 saves.

While the Raiders had a good start, with early goals from Anthony Bardaro and Mike Winther, they seemed to sit back the rest of the way, according to Ice assistant coach Chad Kletzel.

“I don’t think PA was on their game—they thought the game was going to be easy and we had some guys on our team step up and play better,” said Kletzel.

The two teams held each other scoreless in the middle frame, though Winther the best scoring chance with a wide open net, but Skapski sprawled to make the save with his blocker arm.

Kootenay roared back into the game in the final period, starting with a goal from Jaedon Descheneau, who picked up a rebound after Jordyn Boyd put a shot on net.

Ten minutes later, Sam Reinhart struck for his 21st goal of the season to pull things even with 13 minutes remaining in the game.

Nothing was decided when the final buzzer went, which sent things to overtime.

With just under 30 seconds left in the OT frame, Descheneau saucered a pass over to Reinhart while in the offensive zone, and the Kootenay sniper converted to win the game.

Boyd had a two point night, getting in on both goals in regulation time.

He also scored an important goal on Tuesday night against the Blades that tied up the game in the third period.

“He’s played well the last two games,” said

Kletzel. “He’s been working hard with a purpose, getting pucks in and driving the net, handling the puck well and it’s translated into some results for him lately.”

Kootenay is now four points outside of a playoff spot, as the Medicine Hat Tigers occupy eighth place with 43 points. The Ice have a travel day on Thursday and head to Regina, where they will face the Pats on Friday evening.

ICE NOTES: Missing from the Prince Albert roster was D Josh Morrissey, who was attending the CHL Top Prospects game in Halifax.

Kootenay and Regina have faced each other twice in the season, with a split record of one win apiece. Landon Peel, Kootenay’s newest acquisition who came up from the MJHL after the trade deadline, used to be in the Pats’ system and played 19 games with the team last season. Regina drafted him 50th overall in the third round of the 2009 WHL Bantam Draft.

NHL players look to put lockout behind them Bill Beacon Canadian Press

Whether the nearly four month lockout was worth it or not, the National Hockey League and its players are set to leave the lawyers behind and get back on the ice.

The regular season of 82 games per team that was supposed to start in October has been slashed to a 48-game sprint over only 99 days.

It starts with 13 games on Saturday, including the Toronto Maple Leafs at Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators at Winnipeg Jets, Anaheim Ducks at Vancouver Canucks and Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers.

The lockout ended last weekend with the league winning key concessions on salaries and lengths of contracts and the players association doing well to limit the damage and get a better pension deal.

“When you look back at the whole process, this is the best deal we could have got,” said Montreal Canadiens defenceman Josh Gorges.

“It’s unfortunate it took

as long as it did to get here, but that’s the way negotiations go.

“We’re playing hockey. That’s all that matters.”

They’ll be playing at a hectic pace to get games in before the regular season ends on April 27.

The playoffs start three days later and, if the Stanley Cup final goes seven games, will end on June 28. The draft in Newark, N.J. is on June 30.

It will be a help that all games are inside the conferences, except perhaps for the Jets, the former Atlanta Thrashers who are stuck in the Southeast Division for at least one more season.

Injuries, especially pulled groins, will be a concern with training camps limited to six days with no pre-season contests. While about 200 players joined teams in Europe during the lockout, most stayed home to skate in small groups at city rinks and try to stay in shape in the gym.

New coaches Bob Hartley in Calgary, Ralph Krueger in Ed-

monton, Michel Therrien in Montreal and Adam Oates in Washington have had little time to implement systems and get to know their players.

“It’s good and bad,” added Gorges. “We want to play.

“We’re playing hockey. That’s all that matters.”

Josh Gorges “We want to be out there in games. That’s what’s good about a short camp. You don’t have to wait too long.

The flip side is you’d like a little more time to get prepared, but that’s not the circumstance.”

As play resumes, the Los Angeles Kings will finally get to raise their first Stanley Cup banner as they play host to the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Kings grabbed the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot and rode it to an unexpected Cup last season.

The last time a lockout shortened the sea-

son to 48 games in 199495, it was the New York Rangers who had to wait for their banner ceremony. The 2004-05 lockout erased the entire season, which left an extended delay for the 2003-04 champion Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Kings have made few personnel changes and will contend again in the Western Conference.

The Rangers, who added scoring star Rick Nash in a trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets, seem to be a consensus choice as favourite in the East.

Vancouver and Ottawa were the only Canadian-based clubs to reach the playoffs last season and it will be battle to add to that total this time around.

The Canucks, who lost a Stanley Cup final to the Boston Bruins two seasons ago, are still a force with twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin but injuries on their second line and the on-going distraction of trade talks about goalie Roberto Luongo will challenge them.

The Oilers, who open Sunday at Vancouver, will have a shot if their clutch of high draft picks chooses this year to emerge as a contender.

Adding skilled rookies Nail Yakupov and Justin Schultz to Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is bound to produce a winner at some point.

It will also be a Sunday start at home for the Calgary Flames against the aging San Jose Sharks. Calgary has added a top power playpoint man in Dennis Wideman along with former Detroit winger Jiri Hudler. They also brought in former KHL scoring leader Roman Cervenka.

Veteran Olli Jokinen should get first-line ice time with the Jets.

The Leafs bring new winger James van Riemsdyk and their own goaltending question, which centres around whether they will be the club that trades for Luongo. It will be the debut of general manager Dave Nonis, who replaced the abruptly fired Brian Burke this week.

MELBOURNE, Australia - Forget that opening match. Milos Raonic is hoping his latest victory showed off his real game.

Raonic defeated Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic 7-6 (72), 6-2, 6-3 to reach the third round of the Australian Open on Thursday.

The Thornhill, Ont., native said that he felt improvement after struggling through a hard-fought opening win Tuesday against Jan Hajek.

“I was able to incorporate more intensity into may game, get into better positions and hit better shots,” said Raonic. “I created more opportunities.

My game is getting better, I played much better than in the first round.”

The 13th seed now stands one victory away from duplicating his best showings at a grand slam after playing four rounds at the U.S. Open last autumn and in Melbourne in 2011.

Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., will face off

against 17th-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber on Sunday after the German advanced over Israeli Amir Weintraub 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-4.

Raonic fired 18 aces against Rosol to win in just over one hour 45 minutes.

He clinched the victory just in time before temperatures rose to the day’s high of 39 Celsius, the hottest day of the event so far. Raonic, who trains in Barcelona, said he was not overly concerned about conditions.

“It was a little tough, you found yourself getting light-headed,” he said. “Other than that it didn’t seem that hot.

The sun was covered by clouds most of the time. But the air was thick, it was hard to catch your breath.”

Raonic, ranked 15th in the world, had never faced Rosol before. The Czech is known for knocking Rafael Nadal out of the Wimbledon second round last June in the upset of the season. “(Rosol) was good

Raonic converted on five of his eight break chances in the rout on an outside

With his faith restored, Marcus menting on the truly American made works, from Longfellow and turned back to the question which Melville to Toni Morrison and had shocked the editing committee

into silence: Does Linda Lovelace’s “Ordeal” belong beside “Gone with the Wind?”

Gerald Early seemed to think so.

“Ordeal” was Lovelace’s autobiography, and “the memoir has been the dominant literary genre during the past 40 years; ‘Ordeal’ was the prototype, the most sensational, the hot centre of what storytelling in America in the present age is.”

Ann Marlowe, an award-winning memoirist herself and war correspondent, ended up reviewing “Ordeal” for the book. She found it to be a “fascinating artifact of its time.” Not the least being in that it is only one of four autobiographies written by Lovelace.

The first, “Inside Linda Lovelace,” appeared in 1974, with Lovelace glamourizing the world of pornography on every page and explaining how much she loved the work. She followed this with “The Intimate Diary of Linda Lovelace,” which also came only months later.

“Ordeal” didn’t appear until 1980, and this time Lovelace did a complete 180. Here she claims her first book was a complete fabrication; full of lies and basically written by her abusive husband who forced her into pornography at gunpoint.

While vehemently denying everything she had written in her first book, she somehow forgot to even

mention her second one.

“Ordeal” is also the first of what would become an entire industry of abuse memoirs, where celebrities who seemed to have glamorous and exciting lives write in great detail how they really have horrifically sad lives; one’s filled with every type of abuse imaginable. Yet — as Ann Marlowe states in her review — “Ordeal” doesn’t read as sad. In fact, the author’s pain is written with a type of “autistic blankness,” making Marlowe question whether or not any of the book is true.

To further muddy the waters, the book was ghostwritten by Mike McGrady, famous for writing the hoax novel “Naked Came a Stranger.”

Lovelace’s final work, “Out of Bondage,” appeared in 1986. Here too she renounces her previous books, yet this too was co-written with McGrady. Which one was the true one? Where any of them?

And this, in the end, is why Greil Marcus did indeed include “Ordeal” in “The New Literary History of America.” It belonged with the portrait of all the other truly American literary works, and Marlowe’s serious review of it, became one of the most popular essays out of all of them.

YOUR CITY WORKING FOR YOU! Thursday, January 17, 2013 RECRUITMENT FOR COMMITTEES 2013

PUBLIC SAFETY RESPONSIBLITY OF ALL THIS WINTER

There are only a few opportunities left for public participation and involvement in the City of Cranbrook advisory committees.

Membership is open to residents of the City of Cranbrook for positions listed below:

Improving the safety of the public is behind the City of Cranbrook campaign asking residents and businesses to help keep your streets and sidewalks clear of snow and ice this winter.

“Regularly clearing ice and snow from your sidewalks and driveways will allow much easier access to your property by the fire department, RCMP or paramedics should an accident or other emergencies happen.” says Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services Chief Wayne Price.

Residents are also encouraged to avoid pushing or blowing snow from their sidewalks, driveways and any windrows back into the street, after the City plows have been by. Clearing snow is not just the responsibility of the City Public Works department, which does the best they can with the resources available to keep the community moving during the winter months. Responsibility also lies with each resident and business owner to help clear around their home or business.

“During and following major snowfalls, our snow removal operation runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and operates with a small fleet of vehicles; four salt/sand trucks with belly plows, two graders and two loaders.” says Public Works Director Joe McGowan. “With this schedule and the equipment we have, it is reasonable to expect most areas of the City to be cleared within 3 or 4 days of a snowfall, depending on the amount of snow and how fast it comes down.”

City of Cranbrook Snow Removal Policy As this winter season approaches, we want to remind you of the City of Cranbrook current Snow and Ice Control procedures to better understand why the City clears snow the way it does. The policy in place clearly identifies four levels of priorities for streets for City crews to follow: STREETS Classification “A” – FIRST PRIORITY Major streets, hospital zones, roads that access emergency service facilities, roads with severe grades and transit routes will be cleared first. In some instances, snowfall is heavy enough and continual during the plowing process, that once these routes are cleared crews need to start them over again. That often causes a delay in getting to other areas of the City.

Classification “B” – SECOND PRIORITY This includes collector streets, the central business district and school zones.

Classification “C” – THIRD PRIORITY This includes other residential streets within the City whose immediate need for snow and ice control is not as important. Vehicles can move around with limited congestion at suitable speeds.

Classification “D” – FOURTH PRIORITY The remaining streets, drives, crescents, lanes and alleys where traffic volume is relatively low. Traffic is able to proceed at lower speeds in these residential areas.

For a complete look at the Snow Removal Policy, please visit our website.

Environment and Utilities Committee One position is available.

Wellness and Heritage Committee One position is available for a youth representative (15-18 years old).

Terms of reference for all the committees are available on the City’s website – www.cranbrook.ca. Interested individuals are invited to submit a Volunteer Application form available at City Hall or the City’s website.

Applications will be accepted at City Hall (attention Maryse Leroux) or by email leroux@cranbrook.ca , no later than Monday, January 28, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. local time.

Safety agency urges changes at B.C. sawmills Ke ven Dre ws Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — A B.C. safety agency has urged changes for sawmill owners and to the fire and electrical codes in an effort to mitigate the risks posed by explosive levels of wood dust and to avoid the kind of explosion that killed two mill workers last year.

The BC Safety Authority, which oversees the safe installation and operation of equipment and administers B.C.’s Safety Standards Act, made nine recommendations in a report Tuesday about wood dust.

They include recommending that the Canadian Standards Association classify wood dust as combustible, with improvements to the requirements around natural gas and propane codes. ``Wood dust can have explosion and fire hazard characteristics similar to other known dusts that are identified as combustible dusts in the Canadian Electrical Code,’’ the report said.

The report noted the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has classified fine wood dust as having ``strong explosion’’ characteristics.

``Wood dust and potential ignition sources exposed to wood dust are required to be managed. Locations where wood dust accumulates or is suspended in atmosphere are considered hazardous locations.’’

The BC Safety Authority investigation followed an explosion and fire last year that killed two sawmill workers and injured 20 others at Babine Forest Products on Jan. 20, 2012 near Burns Lake,.

The tragedy — the first of two fatal mill explosions in 2012 — destroyed the Babine mill and killed employees Robert Luggie, 45, and Carl

Charlie, 42.

An investigation already conducted by WorkSafe BC blamed the incident on dry wood dust, which had accumulated from pine-beetle killed wood and was ignited by machine parts. ``Our aim was to conduct a thorough investigation and learn all we could to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents,’’ Greg Paddon, the group’s director of technical programs, said.

For mill operators, the authority recommended qualified professionals should identify areas in sawmills with dust hazards that could catch

Hoarder rescued after home debris collapses

C ANADIAN PRESS

BURNABY, B.C. — Eleven fire fighters cut through a door and then sawed a pathway through ceiling-high mounds of garbage packed inside a small Burnaby, B.C., home to rescue an elderly man who had been pinned under debris for at least three days.

RCMP were called to the house in the city east of Vancouver Monday night after an anxious friend reported not seeing the neighbour, in his 70s, for several days.

Police sought the aid of the Burnaby Fire Department, whose members arrived later that night to help them gain entry.

Inside, they discovered ``quite a mess’’ before uncovering the trapped man, said Assistant Fire Chief Greg

Mervin. ``These fellows had to go in and try and find a problem there, and they had to dig through to find this fellow,’’ he said on Tuesday, adding the man was suffering severe dehydration.

There was neither heat nor electricity in the house. ``Had it been another day or two, with our cold temperatures, the outcome may have not been as good as it was. It was probably very rewarding for these firefighters.’’

The incident required more emergency workers than for a typical rescue, he said, adding city bylaw officers have been previously called to the same home for complaints from neighbours about the junk piling up on the outside of his property.

Cougars and bobcats, oh my!

C ANADIAN PRESS

MERRITT, B.C. — Residents of Merritt are being warned about an unusually high number of cougar and bobcat sightings around their city.

Bylaw officer Bob Davis says two cougars were spotted near a school in the Nicola Valley community Tuesday, and there have been five sightings of bobcats this week.

Davis says there’s concern because one of the usually-shy bobcats was confronted by a conservation officer and

a police officer just minutes after it attacked a house cat.

The bobcat refused to surrender its prey, despite a nearly 40-minute struggle with the two humans.

Davis says the officers were reluctant to shoot the wild cat and were eventually able to capture it and free the injured house cat.

He says cougars and bobcats are capable of killing much larger prey, so Merritt residents are advised to keep close track of small children and pets.

The fire department comes across dangerous hoarding situations about a few times a year, he said. ``I wouldn’t say it’s a regular occurrence,’’ he said. ``There’s probably a few more people out

there that we don’t know about. Until something happens, it’s not discovered.’’

The man is recovering in hospital and being treated for possible circulation problems in both legs.

fire, and mills should develop better ways to manage that dust.

The fire commissioner should publish a list of qualifications professionals must meet if they want to identify wood dust and explosion hazards, states the report.

The report’s recommendations are directed at mill owners and operators, the Office of the Fire Commissioner in B.C., as well as the Canadian Standards Association.

Babine Forest Products said in a media release it hasn’t analyzed the report, but the safety agency’s work will ensure sawmills are safer

in the future.

At the time of the blast, it added, the company had equipment designed to reduce wood dust, but ``the scope of the hazard was not fully understood.’’

Last year’s second fatal mill explosion took place in April at the Lakeland Mills in Prince George, B.C., killing Alan Little, 43 and Glenn Roche, 46. Many others were seriously injured in the tragedy.

In November, WorkSafe BC asked Crown counsel for a review of whether companies and individuals violated the Workers Compensation Act.

Application of this penalty usually applies to individuals.

If you failed to report an amount on your return for 2012 and you also failed to report an amount on your return for 2009, 2010, or 2011, you may have to pay a federal and provincial/ territorial repeated failure to report income penalty.

The Sand Creek Lions, Wendy and Willie Charlton and family, and the Jaffray Volunteer Department Society take to the ice to see the new ice rescue equipment and training.

Come on in! The water’s delightful!

Co ur t e s y R D E K

A weekend of classroom and field work in frigid conditions paid off for eight Jaffray firefighters and one Sparwood Search and Rescue member this weekend as they re-

ceived their Ice Rescue Technician Certification.

The training took place in Jaffray and the field component took place on – and in – Tie Lake. The fire department was able to train

with their new ice rescue equipment, which was made possible thanks to generous donations by the Sand Creek Lions, Wendy and Willie Charlton and their family (in memory of their son/brother

David Charlton), Jaffray Volunteer Fire Department Society and an RDEK Electoral Area B Discretionary Grant in Aid. The Lions, who presented a cheque for $3,000, and many of the

other donors were out on the ice Saturday afternoon watching the participants learn the basics of self and companion rescue. In total, $9,000 was donated for the purchase of the new equipment.

A rescuer attached to shore by rope swims out to a trainee posing as a victim. The water was frigid after a night in the low minus 20s.

In this technique, one rescuer is clipped to a rope and slides out to the hole in the ice. Once they reach the victim, another rescuer drags both to safety.

A special rescue boat can be walked across the ice, then the rescuer slides it into the water and pulls the victim through a gap in the bottom.

Trainees use all their might to break through the thick ice and make a larger hole that will allow them to practice different types of rescue.

What Parents Need to Know British Columbia Teachers’ Federation 100–550 West 6th Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5Z 4P2

The Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) is a set of annual provincial tests given to Grade 4 and 7 students in reading comprehension, writing, and numeracy. These tests do not count toward your child’s marks nor do the results actively support your child’s learning.

• FSA tests take valuable resources away from the classroom.

• Results are misused to rank schools and promote privatization.

• FSA data does not provide real help to students, parents, or schools.

For all of these reasons, we are recommending that you write a letter to the principal or detach the following letter, requesting that your child be exempted from the FSA. We cannot in all good conscience recommend that any parent support the administration of the FSA to their child.

Continue to talk with teachers about assessment that works for your child. bctf.ca/parents.aspx?id=72 Sincerely,

Susan Lambert President

Please detach and use the letter to request that your Grade 4 or 7 child be withdrawn from the January and February 2013 FSA testing.

Dear Principal, I understand that parents may request the principal to excuse a student in the event of a family emergency, lengthy illness, or other extenuating circumstances.

Please excuse my child, __________________________________________________________________ , from all three Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) tests for the following reason: family emergency Thank you for your co-operation.

Sincerely,

Parent/guardian signature

Dear Parents,

Phone: 250.426.0422

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Avoid getting into a situation where control is the major issue.

Once that behavior is eliminated or toned down, you will be able to see the feelings behind the manipulation. A partner could be uptight about a money matter. Tonight: A friend wants you to join him or her.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Pull back and do some thinking before acting on an evolving situation with a difficult loved one.

You might want to stop making judgments. When you walk in this person’s shoes, you will gain a very different perspective. Tonight: Get into a favorite hobby.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A meeting energizes you to become more proactive about a long-term goal or desire. It is you who will need to make this happen. Work or a matter you deal with on a daily basis might be bringing you down. Consider accepting an invitation. Tonight: Make plans with a friend or loved one.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Step forward, and be willing to take a stand with someone who makes many demands. This person is not a good fit with your personality. A partner might be unusually controlling. You might need to subtly root out the issue.

Tonight: Find your best friend and make plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Keep reaching out to experts or people you respect for advice.

When you hit a roadblock, you might want a different take on how to bypass it. A matter involving real estate or your personal life could mark a decision. Tonight: Read between the lines.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Relate to an associate directly.

You’ll hear what this person is saying, but you might wonder if there is a hidden agenda behind his or her words. Do not be overserious in a conversation, yet be sure to express your bottom line. Tonight: Off to the gym.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to a strong-willed asso-

For Better or Worse

ciate or friend. Apparently, this person has a strong vision for what needs to happen. Having your trust makes him or her feel good. Whether this fact is true is another question! Your choices often are made from a realistic perspective. Tonight: Say “yes.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pace yourself, as you could have a lot to do. You might hit a wall in a discussion, or perhaps someone seems to be pulling away. His or her perception of you might be the same. Be more open, and make time in the near future for a long-overdue talk.

Tonight: Choose a stressbuster.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Stay focused regarding an important conversation. A disagreement could emerge over a financial issue with a partner or loved one. Look at what exists below that surface. What is he or she really asking for? Tap into your imagination for answers.

Tonight: Express your playfulness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have a lot going on around your home and personal life.

You could have a very strong reaction to a discussion. You’ll become quite controlling, if you are not careful. In that mindset, you will hit a stalemate. Is that what you want? Tonight: Buy someone a gift on the way home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Do not stand on ceremony.

Everyone will be happier once there is resolution, and the answer is in your hands. You need to get past a personal issue. The issue arose long before a key person became involved in the present scenario. Tonight: Join a friend at a favorite spot.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be aware of the costs of a problem that evolves. One path might be hard on your ego. A different path involves spending more money than you would like to. Deal with your strong feelings first, and you’ll come up with positive responses. Tonight: Treat yourself.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a senior in high school.

My boyfriend broke up with me a month after he went off to college. We had been together for nine months, and I was devastated. He was my first real boyfriend. He treated me well and cried when we broke up. He ended our relationship because it was his first time being on his own, and he didn’t want anyone tying him down. He said he needs time to figure out his life. He claims I will understand when I go to college, and I am trying to accept this.

Our breakup was amicable, even though I was upset. We still text and talk on a regular basis. I know he has no intention of getting back together, at least not now. I have seen him three times since we broke up, and every time we end up sleeping together. He told me recently that he thinks he is interested in another girl.

My friends say it’s best if I cut all ties with him -- no more talking, texting or seeing him when he’s home for breaks. My friends have never been through something like this, though, so they don’t understand how hard it would be for me to not have him in my life.

Annie, what do you think? -- Confused in California Dear Confused: Please stop sleeping with your ex-boyfriend. It only muddies the water and makes everything more difficult. He has broken up with you, and frankly, he was right to do so. He’s away at school and wants to date other women. Instead of simply cheating on you, he was honest and ended things. But continuing to sleep with you is taking advantage. You have to let him go. If you want to remain friends, fine, but only if it doesn’t include “with benefits.” You need some space to get over him and move on with your life.

Dear Annie: I’ve never read a letter with my problem: I’m not attracted to my husband anymore, and that’s why I’m not having sex with him.

I have a stronger sex drive than my husband, who will be 50 soon. When we were in our 30s and he wasn’t so overweight, I would initiate sex if he had bathed and brushed his teeth after coming home from his construction job dirty, sweaty and greasy. The problem is that he stopped bathing, and I can’t deal with his significant beer belly and his horrible breath. Also, he has sinus issues and is constantly clearing his throat, which drives me nuts.

I am in good shape, and other men still admire me, which only adds to my frustration. Actually, the frustration is turning into bitterness because he makes no effort to get into better shape. Now I am simply turned off. We do very little together as a couple except eat. I’m sure he blames me for our lack of intimacy.

Please let men know that they can’t expect their wives to look great while they let themselves go. These middle-age issues never occurred to me when I was younger. -- No Longer Compatible Dear No Longer: This is part of “in sickness and in health.” You might find your husband more appealing if he made even a small effort. “Not trying” seems like “not caring.” But it’s possible your husband has some issues with depression and aging. See whether counseling and a doctor’s checkup help. We hope so.

Dear Annie: “Disgruntled in California” said her older sister kept it a secret that she saw Disgruntled’s son eating in a restaurant.

Good grief. She saw her adult nephew eating in a restaurant, and she’s supposed to report this to his mother? Why? Disgruntled sounds like a helicopter sister. Older does not mean incompetent or in need of direction. Their relationship might improve a whole lot if Disgruntled attempted to be a friend instead of an overbearing mother. -Sister Who Knows Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries Muriel Adamek 1918 - 2013 Today we lost a beautiful sweet lady, just nine days before her 95th birthday.

Muriel Adamek leaves behind memories of her kindness, loving heart and incredible smile.

Muriel was born in Cranbrook on January 22, 1918 and moved to Kimberly in 1925 where she became a lifelong valued citizen and member of the Presbyterian church.

She married her true love John Adamek in 1942 and raised two children, John and Trudy.

Muriel had three lovely sisters, Violet, Christine and Gladys. Muriel and Gladys lived side by side and had countless dual family gatherings providing endless memories for their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren that will be cherished forever.

Reading was a passion of Muriel’s her whole life. She was an extremely intelligent lady and skipped many grades in school. She loved sewing, and her bridge club family kept her entertained. Friends always surrounded her, the Berglund’s, Wanuk’s, Spafford’s and Sortome’s brought her joy and countless laughs.

Muriel will be greeted by her heavenly family. Her husband John, who passed away in 1972, and sisters Violet and Christine. She leaves behind her sister Gladys, her son John and his family Linda, Jason, Dori, Carissa and Rob and new great grandson Nolin all of Calgary, her daughter Trudy and her family Kevin, Lesley, Colin and great grandsons Jacob and Joel who all live in Wycliffe and Cranbrook.

Muriel shared her amazing smile and gracious heart with the Joseph Creek Care Village ladies, as she spent her last years residing under their care. She was very happy and content thanks to the amazing care that she received by these warm hearted ladies. We cannot thank you enough for the care you provided Muriel.

There will be a celebration on Muriel’s life at a later date.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper 1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.

Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.

You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.

When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.

Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.

Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.

Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.

Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.

In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast.

Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.
