RCMP issue sketch of senior’s attacker RCMP
The Cranbrook RCMP are continuing their investigation into the Monday, Jan. 28, 2013 assault in which a 74-year-old Cranbrook resident was out for a walk shortly before 6 p.m. in the 4th Street North and 17th Avenue area, when he was attacked by a stranger. Investigators have released a copy of a composite sketch of the male suspect. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, approximately six feet tall with short brown hair, slim but muscular build and brown short hair. The assailant was unshaven (had stubble), and was wearing a black jacket and possibly a ball cap.

IF THE SHOES FIT …: Keely Hamilton was one of the visitors to Fort Steele Heritage Town on the Family Day long weekend who tried out old-fashioned snow shoes — a hit, by all accounts. Ft. Steele marked Family Day — B.C.’s first annual February statutory holiday — with numerous activities under sunny skies. And now, Spring is just around the corner.

WestJet has began to reveal the locations it will service through its new regional service Encore, but Cranbrook has not yet been named as a destination. On Monday, February 11, WestJet announced that it will begin daily service to Fort St. John and Nanaimo on June 24, 2013. While Cranbrook was not included in the first announcement,
it still could be in coming months. “We are just getting started,” said Ferio Pugliese, president of WestJet Encore. “The communities that are not part of today’s announcement continue to be under consideration as we take delivery of additional aircraft later this year and in years to come.”
