City faces criticism after proposing restrictions on shipping containers S A LLY MAC D ON AL D Townsman Staff

A seemingly benign bylaw amendment caused an outcry at a public hearing held in Cranbrook on Monday, January 21.

City of Cranbrook Zoning Bylaw 3737 was given two readings on January 7 and was set to be adopted on Jan. 21.

But the issues raised by local business owners gave the city pause, and the adoption was pushed back to allow for changes.

While most of the amendment will correct typos and clarify definitions in the zoning bylaw, one item caused alarm among business owners: the amendment would only allow shipping containers on properties in the Heavy

Industrial, Transportation and Public Utility zones, and then only up to six.

Five business owners spoke out against the change, saying that shipping containers, or “sea cans”, are vital for affordable storage.

“It takes away our ability to have reasonably priced storage,” said Ken Bridge of Bridge Interiors, which has one shipping container on its property.

“It takes money away from us that we put back into the community.

“Business right now is fairly tough out there.

For the council to turn around and make it tougher for us, I just don’t understand.”

The two-pronged narrative attack of Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice” opens Thursday evening at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook. The latest production by local Shakespeare society Bard in Your Own Backyard features the above-mentioned lottery, the memorable business transaction between Shylock and Antonio, and a host of Shakespeare’s more antimated characters brought to life by the local acting community.

The interview was stalled for several minutes as Beard, still at school, met with a student. Once she

called in, however, she gave B.C. a glimpse into student life in the new Cranbrook.

The English school is built for 420 students, but for now only has 73 students as the new community grows.

NEWS Gov’t funds will help with new COTR equipment Barry Coulter

Equipment purchases and replacements at each institution are based upon a review

and analysis of existing inventory, current and future program and industry requirements,

and current government priorities to provide skills training that is aligned to the needs of

the economy in each region.

Institutions will also pursue partnerships

with local industries and other stakeholders to purchase or donate equipment, ensuring

students continue to train on the latest equipment being used in the workplace.

H r ur fe of y, re s nd Ja 8.

2 n.

The College of the Rockies (COTR) is getting a funding boost from the B.C. Government which will help put the latest tools in the hands of its students.

A funding announcement of $443,842 was made Tuesday, Jan. 22, which will go towards new skills training equipment at COTR. That money is part of a $17 million B.C.-wide Skills and Training Plan investment by the Province to support equipment upgrades at post-secondary institutions.

Nick Rubidge, COTR President, said the funding will allow the college to replace obsolete equipment and purchase new state-of-theart technology.

“In order for College of the Rockies to continue to play a vital role in preparing skilled workers to support the B.C. economy, it is critical that our students have access and are trained on the most up-to-date equipment and technology so that they are work-ready when they leave this institution.”

The type of equipment slated for new purchase or replacement at COTR — unless otherwise donated from industry partners — includes equipment such as solar-wind energy training systems, skidder and a crawler.

“It is important to safeguard our students for a successful future by placing them with the proper tools for a proper education,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett.

Reviving an old art through a new Cranbrook Continued from page 1 Sartorel hopes the Cranbrook name will give the children in both schools the chance to develop life-long connections.

Beard agreed, suggesting they trade letters back and forth.

“I think there’s a lot we can learn from each other,” she said.

“Our children are very keen to share their new school with other children.”

Sartorel said in the CBC interview that the new partnership is interesting for the Kootenay school, as they teach their students about environmental issues and sustainability. At St. Martin’s School, the students are connected to nature via their own private wooded area on the school grounds, where students attend Forest School every Wednesday.

Beard explained in the radio interview that the students spend the time outside learning about the woods and cooking on a rock fire.

Sartorel told the Townsman on Tuesday that the school will be looking into forming pen pals between the students. The idea has not yet been brought to the student body at Gordon Terrace Elementary as the teachers figure out how the exchanges will work.

Sartorel said the pen pals could be a way to save a dying art — handwriting — now that technology and computer communications have taken over.

“I would hate to see (handwriting) go by the wayside,” Sartorel said. “There’s many ways to reach out through many avenues, and still be teaching the curriculum.”

What started as an idea has gone somewhat viral — Sartorel has had emails coming in from all over wanting to talk about the schools’ connection.

“This is so brand new.”

Cranbrook Connection

Cranbrook, Devonshire, and Cranbrook, B.C., aren’t the only Cranbrooks on the world map.

Here the Townsman takes you through the wonderful, twisted world of the many Cranbrooks.

Try to keep up.

Gordon Terrace Elementary is looking into creating a relationship with students in the new Cranbrook, Devonshire, England. So far they are looking into sending letters back and forth, and perhaps sending a template for the B.C. school’s Virtue Tree, which recognizes students for positive actions. The current virtue is “friendliness.”

So far, the Kindergarten and Grades 2, 3, 5, 5/6 classes are on board, for a total of 200 children at Gordon Terrace (GT). That means there will be more than two pen pals for each child in the English Cranbrook school.

They are also thinking about sending along templates for their Virtue Trees that each GT student has created and displayed around the building. That project would go well with the St. Martin’s Forest School.

Humphrey plans to head back to England in the next month or so, and Sartorel said perhaps the school could send along something from the students to St. Martin’s.

Sartorel originally thought her students could have a Skype night with St. Martin’s, but it turns out the time difference works the other way: the English

students would have to stay up late to meet with GT. “That definitely poses a challenge but I don’t think it’s a road block,” she said.

The Kootenay principal was impressed by Beard’s plans for the young school, which opened on September 14, 2012. It teaches students from Kindergarten, (which is called nursery) to year (or Grade) 6.

“I think I’d like to meet her,” Sartorel said.

This isn’t the first time GT students have connected with a school elsewhere in the world.

Last year the students ran a Canadian Tire money campaign to support a school in Nepal. Sartorel said the project was very much enjoyed, but there were cultural and technological differences. For example, the Cranbrook students filmed a video of

them performing their school song, but the Nepalese students didn’t have the ability to play it.

The students in England will give the GT children a great opportunity to see life in a different country, while still having a few things in common.

“I could see this becoming an opportunity for life-long pen pals,” Sartorel said.

Another idea is sending out post cards from Cranbrook, B.C., to Cranbrook, U.K. That would go in well with a postage stamp collection being developed by Janet Levang’s GT class.

“You get so much from a picture,” Sartorel said.

The possibilities for this new burgeoning relationship are endless. Visit the St. Martin website online at www.stmartinscranbrook.devon.sch.uk for more information on this unique school.

The new English town is named after a small brook that runs through the town site, called Cranny.

Cranbrook, B.C., takes its name from Cranbrook, Kent, England – 360 kilometres away from the brand new town. It is a small, rural south-east town that dates back to 1290 AD. It is also the ancestral home of none other than Col. James Baker, the founder of Cranbrook, B.C. The two towns have had a relationship for many years.

The list of Cranbrooks goes on. There are two in Australia, most notably one in south Western Australia, which is nestled next to Mt. Barker – which has been confused with Cranbrook, B.C.’s Mt. Baker. That town too is named after Cranbrook, Kent. Then, there’s Cranbrook the suburb of Townsville, Queensland, Australia.

If you’re not confused yet, we’ll move on to North America to Cranbrook, Ont., a hamlet east of Goderich, Ont. Wikipedia describes it as a pre-Confederation settlement of at least one house. It’s known for its extreme birdhouses made to resemble tiny mansions. So one can conclude that there is at least two or more dwellings, although the residents may be birds.

Lastly, there is apparently a Cranbrook, New Jersey, although it appears to be a suburb or section of town in Trenton, New Jersey.

The tale of Mt. Bakers is just as wide, with a volcano in Washington being the most prominent, but we won’t go there.

Council contains community can confusion Continued from page 1 Jim Szakacs of Kootenay Import Auto Group said shipping containers are great because they are both affordable and portable.

“I’d like you to consider the use and allowing us to use that product because it is very important and it’s very cost effective for us,” he said.

Glen Lynn of Mister Tire said his business has eight sea cans, used to house customer’s off-season tires. Right now, they are storing 2,288 tires free of charge.

“If we had to build a

building to store those tires, we wouldn’t be able to guess how much it would cost. We sure wouldn’t be able to offer this service,” said Lynn.

He suggested that instead of limiting shipping containers, the city place restrictions on the appearance of sea cans and where they are placed.

“I can understand if it’s unsightly, if they are sticking out on the street and are all rusted. I don’t have a problem with keeping them all the same colour and sightly.”

Greg Fisher, owner of Top Crop, said he wouldn’t mind following standards for the eight shipping containers he has.

“If esthetics are a concern, I’m all for having uniform standards so they don’t look like an eyesore,” he said.

But, according to Fisher, you hardly notice shipping containers around town.

“For the most part, they are hidden. If you look hard for them, you find them. But if you are driving down the strip, you might see the side of one, you might see the end of one.”

“These look a heck of a lot better than a shed somebody slaps up in the side of the place and throws a $9 blue tarp on it and doesn’t bother putting siding up.”

Miles Chisholm Miles Chisholm, general manager of Freightliner of Cranbrook, said his business is the largest supplier of shipping containers in the area, and he esti-

mated that his company has delivered about 1,500 sea cans in and around Cranbrook.

“We deliver them to million dollar homes, we deliver them all over the place, and nobody knows they are there,” said Chisholm.

He estimated that almost 50 per cent of Cranbrook businesses outside the downtown core have at least one shipping container.

Freightliner, which is an agent for Big Steel Box, employs one full-time staff member to handle the sea can business.

“This bylaw is very important to him, be-

cause he wouldn’t have a job with us if this goes away,” said Chisholm.

Esthetically, Chisholm said shipping containers are not only cheaper but often more attractive than a storage building.

“These look a heck of a lot better than a shed somebody slaps up in the side of the place and throws a $9 blue tarp on it and doesn’t bother putting siding up.”

According to Wayne Staudt, the City of Cranbrook’s Chief Administrative Officer, the restriction on shipping containers was actually written into the bylaw in 2008, but he doesn’t

yet know how it came about.

“That’s what we have to research. We have just started looking into that,” said Staudt, adding that this amendment was just to update the existing restriction.

“But given the information we have received over the past couple of days on this issue, we are going to revisit it. There is a lot more usage of sea cans out there right now.

We have asked that the bylaw be pulled tonight so we can go and revisit it with (businesses) and come up with a regulation that works for everybody,” said Staudt.

Les Misérables comes to McKim Theatre stage For the townsman

With their first dress rehearsal behind them, the cast of Selkirk Secondary’s production of Les Misérables are very excited for what they have in store for audiences next month.

Robert McCue is directing and Sven Heyde is the musical director for this beautiful musical. This will be McCue and Heyde’s second musical together, after The Sound of Music was well received at McKim Theatre in Kimberley in 2011. McCue and Heyde have a stellar cast in store, as well as a terrific orchestra, a 16-foot rotating stage, and some spectacular costumes.

Les Misérables is set in the early 1800s in France, and follows the story of Jean Valjean, a convict-turned hero whose love for his adopted daughter Cosette leads him to redemption. Cosette meets and falls in love with Marius in the streets of Paris, while Marius’s best

friend Enjolras is leading a group of students to rebellion against the French Monarchy, which is set against an actual historical event, the June Rebellion of 1832. A whole host of dazzling and exciting characters come along on the journey as the downtrodden of France seek justice.

The presentation is buoyed by the return of Penny Flegel and Sioban Staplin as properties manager and costume designers, respectively. Returning to the stage from their roles in The Sound of Music are Clara MacLeod, Gustaf Hagland, Brooke Janzer, Gemma Remple, Kennedy Sterzer, Emery Hoko, Kayla Giguere, Blake Sharpe, Claudia Cummins, Aria Siega, and Derek Waugh.

Some outstanding new actors include Jordan Anderson, Gaëtan Boué, Declan Armstrong, Devin Fikis, and Connor Klassen. The directors are once again excited

As well as a modest increase in home sales, Cranbrook experienced a stronger year for construction in 2012.

According to the City of Cranbrook’s engineering department, the value of new construction in 2012 was $32.9 million, up from $23.5 million in 2011.

from Feb. 13-16, at 7:30 p.m., with 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. shows on Feb. 16. Tickets are now available at McKim Middle School office in Kimberley and Lotus Books in Cranbrook.

Tickets are $12, with students getting in for $5 on Thursday, Feb. 14, and seniors getting in for $5 on the Saturday matinee.

The city issued 258 building permits in 2012, up from 250 in 2011.

Commerical construction saw the most growth in 2012. There were 22 permits issued in 2011, which jumped to 32 in 2012.

That worked out to $12.5 million in com-

merical new construction value, up from $2.3 million in 2011.

The increase was more modest for residential construction: 174 permits were issued in 2011 and 176 in 2012.

In 2012, there were 37 new residential starts, versus 39 in 2011.

That meant a slight

decrease in value from residential new construction, from $16.6 million in 2011 to $14.9 million in 2012.

Industrial new construction put in $4.6 million to the economy in 2012, institutional $618,000 and signs $247,000, all up from the previous year.

It’s kind of like the old question, if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there ... you know the rest.

I don’t think you can. Mind you, if you were standing in that huge crowd at the ball, you ‘d have had a hard time experiencing anything in any event, because everyone else was trying to get a picture.

You’d have been blinded by the thousands of small screens. We seem to have reached the point that no one believes an event occurred unless someone took a cellphone picture and posted it online.

Apparently there is a movement afoot to remind people that you can in fact experience things without your Iphone. Those involved in the movement urge you to leave your phone at home when attending a concert or a speech or any other big event, to just experience it in real time.

I understand they are calling it Be In the Moment. I can’t confirm that however, because when I consulted the Oracle, all that came up was that there is a cellphone called the Samsung Moment. It comes with not only a camera, but a video camera.

Tennis stars advance at Australian Open DENNIS PASSA Associated Press

OFF TO PROVINCIALS: A team of Kimberley junior curlers have earned the right to represent the Kootenays in provincials after winning their zone playdowns in Nelson over the weekend. The girls faced a team from the host city and were victorious 8-4 and 8-3 in a best-of-three playoff to capture the berth into provincials. This is the first year the four have been curling together, and their first crack at high school zone play downs and provincials. Pictured above, left to right: Skip Alysha Buchy, Third Julia Dereniwsky, Second Kira Dereniwsky, and Lead Haylie Farquhar.

Peel ready for Ice home debut TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice fans will finally get the chance to see the newest member of the team on Wednesday when the Medicine Hat Tigers come to town.

Landon Peel, an 18-year-old defenceman, joined the team in Saskatchewan for a four-game road trip, and will make his home ice debut at Western Financial Place against the Tigers.

Landon Peel Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth picked up the defenceman on the Jan. 10 WHL trade deadline as a replacement for Mike Simpson, who was sent to the Lethbridge Hurricanes in exchange for a draft pick.

However, Peel wasn’t even playing in the WHL. Drafted in 2009 by

the Regina Pats, Peel appeared in 19 games with his WHL club last year, before being released to the Swan Valley Stampeders of the MJHL. There he stayed into this season, suiting up for 38 games, scoring nine goals and tallying 32 points before getting the call from Chynoweth.

“It was great,” said Peel, when asked how it felt to hear from another WHL team. “I’m glad I can get the opportunity to come back into the league again and it looked like it was a great spot here in Cranbrook.”

He had a sneaking suspicion the WHL may come knocking as it got closer and closer to the deadline. ”Yes and no,” Peel added, on whether or not he was expecting a phone call from someone, “but for sure, getting the call was really exciting.”

Before the addition of Peel, the Ice had five defencemen on the roster—six if you count Jeff Hubic, who is currently playing a checking role on the fourth line.

Ice head coach Ryan McGill threw Peel right

into the fire, suiting him up for all four road games in Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Regina and Moose Jaw. “I want to be a puck-moving defenceman,” said Peel, when describing his role.

“When I can, join the rush and look after my own zone and get up and help create some offence.”

McGill already likes

what he sees.

“He’s going to be good for us,” McGill said. “He can move the puck…He does a lot of little things very well with deception with the puck and he’s very creative.”

“I think that’s what we need back there and anytime we can get the puck out of our zone as quick as possible— that’s huge for us.”

WHL NOTES: Prince George Cougars head coach Dean Clark was relieved of his duties by general manager Dallas Thompson on Tuesday.

Clark, who joined the Cougars in April 2009, has a record of 83-163 5-11 during his tenure.

The Cougars will announce a new head coach on Wednesday morning, according to a team release.

Schneider to start against Flames JOSEPH SAPIENZ A Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Canucks goaltending controversy has taken another turn.

Cory Schneider has been given the starting nod for Vancouver’s home game against Calgary on Wednesday after a forgettable performance in the Canucks’ season opener.

Schneider was given the hook after letting in five goals on just 14 shots in a 7-3 loss against Anaheim on Saturday. Roberto Luongo stepped in to finish the Anaheim game, then stopped 30 shots in a 3-2 shootout loss to Edmon-

ton on Sunday.

Despite Luongo’s solid goaltending, Schneider is being given another chance to cement himself as the starting goalie and live up to the three-year, US$12 million contract he was rewarded with last summer.

When asked what he hoped to achieve against the Flames, Schneider’s wishes were simple.

“Just a bounce back game,” he said after Tuesday’s practice at Rogers Arena. “A much better performance and hopefully a win for our team because we need to get one here.

“It wasn’t not the way I wanted to start but hopefully it gets better. I don’t think it can get much worse, so I’ll just hit the reset button and almost start the season over again.”

The 26-year-old said he was able to forget his miserable outing against the Ducks and stay focused, despite being dropped to the bench against Edmonton.

“I wasn’t worried (about not starting), I didn’t put too much into it,” Schneider said. “I was just more focused on being ready in case I did get the call and sure enough I did, so I feel like I put the work in.”

MELBOURNE, Australia - Maria Sharapova has lost only nine games in five matches on the way to the semifinals at the Australian Open. Always the perfectionist, she sees room for improvement.

Defending champion Novak Djokovic made some improvements of his own later Tuesday, beating Tomas Berdych 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 to advance to a semifinal against David Ferrer.

After needing 5 hours, 2 minutes to beat Stanislas Wawrinka in the fourth round Sunday, Djokovic never appeared threatened in his pursuit of a third consecutive Australian Open title. He completed his win over Berdych in exactly half the time of his previous victory.

Sharapova beat fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova 6-2, 6-2 on Tuesday and was asked afterward if she’d lost focus in only a few games this tournament.

“No, I’d probably say more,” she said, “but that’s probably because I’m critical.”

If that’s the case,

she’s a pretty tough taskmaster.

After opening with pair of 6-0, 6-0 wins, Sharapova beat seven-time major winner Venus Williams 6-1, 6-3 in the third round and Belgian Kristen Flipkens 6-0, 6-1 in the fourth.

Djokovic has now won 19th consecutive matches at Melbourne Park.

“It was a great performance,” Djokovic said.

“I was hoping to have a shorter match.”

He later credited his coaches and physiotherapists who helped him overcome the short turnaround.

“I consider myself fit, but I have a great team of people around me that are doing the best they can in their expertise to make me feel ready for physically, mentally, emotionally, every match, every challenge,” Djokovic said.

The No. 4-seeded Ferrer survived once in the third set and twice in the fourth when No. 10 Nicolas Almagro was serving for the match, holding firm to finally advance to his fourth semifinal in six Grand Slam events with a 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (4), 6-2 win.

NFL coach reinstated after season-long ban ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - Sean Payton is back as coach of the New Orleans Saints.

Payton’s season-long suspension for his role in the Saints’ bounty program was lifted by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday, nearly two weeks earlier than expected.

The decision allows Payton to attend the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., on Saturday, where some of the top college players available for the NFL draft will be competing.

Payton, along with assistant head coach Joe Vitt, general manager Mickey Loomis, and four players including Jonathan Vilma, was suspended after an investigation found the club had a performance pool offering cash rewards for

key plays, including big hits. The player suspensions eventually were overturned.

“I clearly recognize that mistakes were made, which led to league violations,” Payton said in a statement.

“Furthermore, I have assured the commissioner a more diligent protocol will be followed.”

The suspension was scheduled to end after the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, but was moved up after Payton and Goodell met on Monday.

Saints owner Tom Benson welcomed back his coach.

“We are all thankful that Sean Payton has been reinstated,” Benson said. “We have a lot of work to do and we are in the middle of it right now.”

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve been studying abroad in Rome for the past three months. I head back to America in a few weeks. I can honestly say I haven’t missed being home. I’ve absolutely loved my stay in Europe. I feel safe and happy.

The one thing I’m dreading is reverse culture shock. I’m afraid I’ll resent my smalltown college or that I’ll become depressed when I get home. All of my friends will have left for their own study-abroad adventures.

No one will be able to speak the Italian I’ve learned and help me maintain my fluency.

The foods and pastimes that I’ve become fond of are nonexistent in America.

My European friends say I should just enjoy the little time I have left abroad and keep positive thoughts when I’m back in America, but I don’t expect my reimmersion process to be that easy. How can I learn to stop living like a dead man walking and not fall into a pit of despair once I board the plane “home”? -- Pining for Rome Dear Rome: Please recognize how fortunate you are to have had the opportunity to spend time in Europe and the fact that you’ve enjoyed it so much. You will miss your Italian friends and Italian pasta, but try not to over-romanticize the experience. Accept it for the short-term fun it was, and know that you can certainly return whenever you can afford to do so. How well you adjust depends entirely on your attitude. Be determined to make it as positive as possible.

Dear Annie: I have a problem with my parents’ decorating habits. They insist on putting up artwork that I did when I was a child. The dining room, living room and bedrooms all have pictures that I drew or painted from the time I was 6 until I was 17.

I have repeatedly asked that they remove them, but they say they can’t bear to take them down. Mind you, they have no such pictures from my sister’s childhood. In fact, they don’t even display pictures their grandchildren have drawn.

I know it’s their house, but I’m a 35-yearold man, and I don’t want people to see this stuff and think I still do such childish collages. It also feels creepy. It’s like my parents aren’t allowing me to grow up.

My father insists on telling people I am an artist. At one time, I wanted to be, but now I am a high school teacher and proud of it. How can people take me seriously after talking to my parents? My father says being an artist is special and interesting, and he becomes unhappy if I ask him to describe me differently.

I’ve gotten so fed up that I dread visiting their home, especially when they have guests. What do I do? -- Not an Artist Dear Artist: So your parents think being an artist is ever so much more glamorous than other professions, and they prefer to fantasize about your job. Your attempts to force them to change will only make all of you miserable. Who cares what their friends think? As long as you conduct yourself appropriately and correct any misimpressions, no one will mistake you for a 9-year-old with fingerpaints. We know it’s annoying, but please try to ignore this.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Dreading Christmas,” whose husband’s two siblings take turns hosting Christmas Eve dinners in their homes, but they won’t let her reciprocate because she doesn’t want to have it in her house.

I have two sisters who love hosting Thanksgiving dinner and alternate each year. They have lovely china and beautiful homes. I have always lived in a small house, but we have a beautiful yard and garden. We reciprocate by hosting a barbecue on Labor Day weekend.

Obituaries

ANNE DAVIES October 21 1916 January 17 2013 Anne passed away peacefully in her sleep at the age of 96 on January 17, 2013 at the Pines.

Anne is survived by her sons Don and Tony, daughters-inlaw June and Pat, grandchildren Mark, Julie-Anne, (Mark, Kimberley), Louise (Craig, Prince George), Melissa (Ray, Vernon), Michael (Calgary), great grandchildren Bronwyn, Gwenyth, Winter, Moss (Kimberley), Andrew (Prince George), Ciera (Coleman), Celeste (Vernon).

Anne was predeceased by her husband Don in 2006.

Anne met her life partner Don in Coventry, England at the age of 15 and they were together for 75 years.

Their passion was cycling and when their sons were born they traded in their bikes for a tandem and sidecar and cycled all over England on weekends and holidays.

Their other passion was golf and Anne was a keen student of the game, being successful in numerous golf tournaments and often playing 18 holes a few times a week well into her late 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Anne, Don and the boys emigrated to Australia in 1953 and followed their sons to Canada emigrating in 1977. They became snowbirds and for 20 years enjoyed perpetual summer by spending the winters in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Anne was a keen ballroom dancer as a young person in England and enjoyed dancing throughout her life. She loved family dinners and dancing and singing around the piano after dinner. Camping with the family during summer months fed her enjoyment of the outdoors.

Anne was also an avid bridge player.

There will be no service but the family will have a celebration of Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life at a later date.

The family would like to thank Dr. Haiduk for his care, the staff of the Pines for the comfort and care they provided, the staff of Gardenview for the kindness and service they provided for Anne, and to Catherine Blake of Interior Health for her compassion and care.

Ph: 250.426.6006 Fx: 250.426.6005 2104D 2nd Street S. Cranbrook, BC theflowerpot@shaw.ca

In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.
