Kimberley races attract National Ski Team Racing under the lights tonight C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

After a couple of days of practice and speed camp, they are rac-

ing at the Kimberley Alpine Resort.

A very special event, a night slalom will be run on the Main under the lights tonight at approximately 5 p.m.

Ski racers don’t get the opportunity to do a lot of night racing, and therefore the Kimberley race is at-

A seedy Saturday in Kimberley

Get ready for the garden with seed exchange at Kimberley Library

Coming up Saturday March 8 at the Kimberley Public Library – Kimberley’s first annual Seedy Saturday! This is a great chance to connect with fellow gardeners and start planning for an inspiring spring. As the daylight increases each day, we’re getting closer to getting our hands in the dirt and planting our wish lists into reality.

If you have excess and/or saved seed, bring it anytime between 10-2 to swap. Even if you don’t have any seeds to offer, come and stock up. There will be an informal seed saving work-

shop from 1-2pm. The goal of this day is to start a community-wide tradition of seed saving & sharing. It’s a great opportunity for people to learn more about the how’s and why’s of saving seed, accessing locally grown varieties, as well as sharing personal experience and knowledge.

From 2-3pm there will be an information session about the Seed Lending Library – Kimberley’s newest garden resource.

Starting March 8, a library of locally saved seeds will be available for loan by anyone in the community. Located in and open whenever the Kimberley Public Library is open, people can ‘borrow’ seeds for free. When you plant the seeds, let some go to seed, then return some of these next generation seeds for others to borrow. Once open, new vari-

Last call for Wood Stove Exchange For the Bulletin

This may be the last chance to take advantage of Provincial incentives to upgrade your old wood burning stove to a new, cleaner burning and energy efficient model, as further funding for the program is in doubt.

Wildsight’s program coordinator, Erna Jensen-Shill reports that there are just 25 rebates of $250 remaining for residents of Cranbrook, Kimberley and RDEK Rural Areas C and E wising to upgrade to a new EPA/CSA approved model. The cities of Cranbrook, Kimberley and the RDEK will

also waive the building permit fees for installation of the new appliances ($50 $75). Additionally, participating retailers in Kimberley and Cranbrook will offer up to an additional $150 off new stove models during the months of March and April.

The goal of the program is to improve air quality. A new EPA/CSA certified stove produces about 90 per cent less particulate matter (smoke) which improves air quality in and around homes. Other benefits of the new models is that they require less wood and are generally safer - certified wood stoves will greatly reduce creosote buildup which is the prime cause of

chimney fires.

Wildsight is also offering a ‘Master Burner’ contest to participants who qualify for the exchange program by March 31st. Lucky participants will win 1 hour of WETT certified expertise from Richard Hedrich at Tip Top Chimney Services, along with tools to increase their wood burning efficiency such as moisture meters to test the dryness of wood prior to burning.

For more information on the program contact erna@wildsight.ca or 250 427 2535 ex 224, or www.wildsight.ca/kimcran/ cleanair.

Black ice warning for local highways Warm days and nights below zero are creating treacherous driving conditions in the East Kootenay Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Mainroad East Kootenay is warning drivers to be extremely cautious on local highways over the coming days.

A weather event advisory issued on Wednesday, March 5, warned of black ice developing, followed by puddles, as temperatures rise after a cold, snowy period.

“The weather has warmed up we but

we are still hovering around zero degrees Celsius in the evenings and the mornings. Also the ground is still frozen due to the long cold period we have had, so you can expect sections of black ice as we transition. Finally, watch for puddles as the banks of snow began to melt,” reads the email alert.

Mainroad will be busy patrolling, salting and sanding highways to improve conditions until the weather event passes.

Drivers are reminded to maintain a safe following distance, drop your speed to match road conditions, avoid sudden moves, and always drive with your headlights on.

“Finally be extremely cautious when approaching highway maintenance vehicles such

as snow plows and salt or sand trucks,” reads the alert.

Visit www.drivebc.

ca to stay up to date with road conditions.

Report any highway observations or

concerns to Mainroad East Kootenay at 1-800-665-4929.

Tasting Time’s strange tricks

ran into Danielle Cardozo the other day, on Monday, at the Save-On in Cranbrook. I told her good luck, and mentioned how geared up everyone was for that night’s episode of MasterChef Canada, on which Danielle is a contestant and who has made it, as of this writing, into the Top 10, surviving elimination and under-going intense and strange cooking challenges.

As we had our brief conversation, I felt a curious sense of dislocation, like the fabric of the time-space continuum had become unglued. After all, Danielle was appearing that night on MasterChef Canada, staged in Toronto, and yet here she was, in the Save-On in Cranbrook, on her way to the Heid-Out Restaurant in Cranbrook.

Is it possible that Danielle Cardozo could be in two places at once?

Further, I understood, intellectually, that Episode 7 of MasterChef Canada had already been taped, that it has in fact happened in the past, yet the outcome is unknown to all of us. I assume the contestants are aware of the fates of those involved in Episode 7, yet are sworn to secrecy. This, combined with the high drama of Episode 7, where Danielle had to cook a cow’s tongue, Dora the cheeks and Karla the cow’s brains, etc, with Dora eventually getting eliminated from the show, added to my sense that something was not quite right with time. Was Epi-

sode 7 happening in the past, or was it really happening in the present, and my brief conversation with Danielle really happening in the future? Or did my conversation with Danielle actually happen several weeks before I thought I was having it, and when I watched MasterChef it was Barry several days further in the future than I thought, even Coulter though the show had been taped in the past?

Gosh, it makes me dizzy. It makes me feel like having a beer with sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick, who no doubt could explain the MasterChef time slip in a way that would not only be bizarre, paranoid, and really hard to understand, but would also be damned entertaining.

But at my age, having a beer with the intemperate Philip K. Dick would not be a good idea. Besides, Philip K. Dick is dead.

Or is he?

But it’s okay. I will take on time’s tricks as they come. I know we live in a spooky world, and nothing is what it seems, as Philip K. Dick pointed out over and over.

In the meantime, the clock moves on regularly and in linear fashion, as do our TV listings, for the most part, and I know next Monday we’ll be gazing at our television devices for Episode 8, for after all, we must cheer on our neighbours when they’re cooking up tongue on the tube.

In a small town, we are invested in our neighbours. We always know what every-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

body is up to. Our gaze is largely internal, towards our small town navels.

That being said, we are a big enough town that we want to be part of the action.

We desire to be represented on a bigger stage, and are always tickled when one of our neighbours puts “Cranbrook on the map,” to use that oh so hackneyed phrase yet again.

Thus, we follow the adventures of Danielle Cardozo with a much greater sense of personal investment, than we would, say, if we were cheering on our fellow Torontonian — one out of 2 million. Here in Cranbrook, we tend to feel we know each other personally, whether we do or not (well, I feel that way, anyway, and I want to invite you all over … wait, let me think about that).

A reality TV show is not the same as a deer cull debate, or a municipal referendum, or such things that force us to confront our reality (in a different way than Philip K. Dick forces us to). But when our friends and neighbours are involved, reality TV is more than mind candy. We’re along for the ride.

We’re cheering on Danielle Cardozo in her single culinary combat. The renown she wins is renown for us all. So stay tuned for Episode 8.

And besides, I thought the tongue looked kind of appetizing.

Opinion/features Letters to the Editor

Damaged traps

I’ve been wondering how long it will take for the Animal Alliance and the Deer Protection Society to distance themselves from their representative who was arrested for “allegedly” destroying our clover traps.

They all like to talk about the waste of taxpayers’ dollars so I can’t see any reason why these people should not step forward to refund us taxpayers for the damaged/ destroyed deer traps, as well as all of the additional expenses incurred by the RCMP and the courts. I know I certainly don’t want to pay for it.

We will be expecting to hear that you will do the honorable thing and soon be reimbursing us.

A recent Bulletin reader wrote com-

plaining that he/she was not informed that the traps were being set.

I think you need to come out of your tunnel; your vision seems to be impaired.

News of the cull has been reported on the radio and in the newspaper for months based on a democratic decision made by your elected City Councillors.

And what would be the point of phoning you up so you can plan a negative media blitz and invite unwanted vigilantes to our city? We don’t need or want these night stalkers.

It is also interesting to read about the threats emanating out of Toronto regarding our business. Ms. White claims that we will suffer dire consequences if she and her society don’t get their way. Well, as a person very familiar with the western part of

Canada, I don’t think I could find a single person that would give two cents for the opinion of a person in Toronto.

Going back to “The Crow Rate”, there has never been any desire to entertain eastern opinions or solutions to our problems.

Now it’s not as though Toronto doesn’t have its own problems right now. Might I suggest that we have amazing dogs in Kimberley that could do a wonderful job of hazing the Mayor from their fair City? He doesn’t seem to be that fleet-of-foot so hazing should work quite nicely. Problem solved.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of March 2 - 8 Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1900 A Personal Matter ... There will be a slight change in the editorial management of The Herald for a few months. I have arranged to be absent from Cranbrook for six or seven months this summer and fall and the paper will be in charge of H. M. Wentworth, editor of The Herald when it first started, and Matt Rockendorf, who has been with me at Wardner and Cranbrook since I have been engaged in newspaper work in this district. The names of these two gentlemen is sufficient guarantee that the work of The Herald will be continued during my absence on the same lines that has established its reputation as a friend of the people and an untiring worker for the best interests of the district as a whole. The reason for my temporary absence is a simple one. The average newspaper man, although labouring early and late for the prosperity of the community in which he lives, is not bothered with accumulated wealth. I am one of the average, and at this time I have what seems to me an opportunity to make some money, and therefore I am going to embrace it. I have formed a business partnership with William Doble, formerly of this city, and George Shier, formerly of Fort Steele, for the purpose of going to Cape Nome with a stock of general merchandise. We will leave Seattle on one of the first boats, and have three or four months in the new Eldorado. We may fail, but we expect success, and are willing to hustle for it. Our plans have been carefully prepared, and we are not going into this enterprise with our eyes closed. To the people of Cranbrook, I have only words of thanks and praise. They are the best lot of people any newspaper man ever had to deal with, and my return this fall will be looked forward to with pleasing anticipations. F. E. Simpson, Editor, The Herald.

The Strathcona Horse have left Ottawa for Halifax … Letter from Walt Edwards. Ottawa, Feb. 27, 1900. Dear Friend Eneas: Hello Old Fatty! How are they using you anyway? They are not using me any too bad. It was pretty hard on us the first few days, but we are getting used to it now.

We drill about four hours a day, two in the morning and two in the afternoon. We

have about 300 horses here now, but have not used any of them yet. There seems to be some pretty hard tickets among them.

There have been about six fellows kicked by them already. They roll us out of bed at 5:30 in the morning to get out and take care of the horses. It has been very cold here the last two or three days. We have got our uniforms, four suits altogether.

More clothes than I ever had in my life before. In fact, I hardly know what to do with them. Of course if I had them in No. 10 I suppose you, McNeil and Brock would have a suit apiece, and I would be as poor as ever. This is a great town. On Saturday nights and Sundays, (Charlie says), you have to beg to get a drink. Ike Foster is the life of the camp. Jack Bonsfield is down home at Toronto for a few days. All the boys are pretty well done up with colds.

We are on the exhibition grounds. We bunk in the stables and they are a little airy. We get pretty good grub, but are only allowed out till 9:30, unless we have a special pass, as they call the roll at 9:30, but we often go out and stay later than that and make a special pass of our own through the fence. I suppose McNeil and Spellman are with you yet. We saw Jimmie’s mother and brother as we passed through Winnipeg. They were afraid that Jimmie was with us. We should soon have a pay day, and I don’t know what I will do with all the money — four bits a day. If I get it I will get my photos taken and send them down to the boys, we’re all about broke now, so we have to keep pretty quiet. Well, this is all the news I know at present, and I hope that this letter finds yourself and all the boys well, as it leaves all the boys here. They all send best regards and wish to be remembered to all. I think if you answer this letter right away it will catch us here, and I will write you again before I leave. The same old chicken, Walt Edwards.

A New Feature ... E. H. Small, proprietor of the Cosmopolitan, has inaugurated a new feature in the way of Sunday dinners. With a dining room double the size of the old one, he is able to handle large crowds with ease, and last Sunday he had the first of his series of family dinners. E. E Orchard, the Chef, had a magnificent bill prepared, and the dining room was crowded. Prof. Fred Shaw, the pianist, furnished the music, and the whole thing was a great success.

Got Their Heads Examined ... A blind phrenologist has been examining the

heads of many of the boys the past week, and has told the owners a number of things that makes them feel better. The average man loves to be told that a bump or depression on his cranium indicates power for love, ability to govern, faculty of acquiring coin of the realm, or any old thing. It don’t make any difference how he got the bump, he will get down from the stage firm in the conviction that the Lord intended him for greater things, and cruel fate had intervened her clammy hand and yanked him away from prosperity and fame. The game is easy, and there are new ones to play every day. A few catch phrases like “material matter”, “potential functions”, “ mediaeval mediocrity ” and “auspinarious aphorisms” do the business and cause the coin to drop into the hat.

New School … Cranbrook’s second school was opened Tuesday in one of the rooms of the Aiken Block, with Miss Dyker as teacher.

1901 Census Figures … The census of Moyie was taken last week, showing the present population to be 845. The St. Eugene mine was closed at the time the count was made and 150 men which they employ were out of town, thus Moyie has a population of 1,000 and is speedily growing.

New Baptist Church ... Work was commenced this week on the new Baptist Church, and it will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. The building will be 30 by 46, with an alcove, and plastered throughout. The site is an excellent one, being about half way between the Catholic Church and Baker Hill. This will give five churches to Cranbrook and they are all located on the same street.

Mail Holdup … All mail matter going west from South East Kootenay is held up at Kootenay Landing under orders from Nelson authorities, until it has been properly fumigated. There were only two cases in the whole district — one is recovered and the other nearly so.

New Laundry … There is a prospect now of Cranbrook securing an up-to-date steam laundry. Such an enterprise would receive a liberal support, not only in Cranbrook, but throughout the district. Cranbrook is an ideal place for such an institution, as it is in the centre of the district, which would facilitate the transaction of business with all the other towns.

KAMLOOPS, B.C. - It looks like all that’s left is a duel for fourth place after the top three teams extended their leads in morning and afternoon draws at the Canadian men’s curling championship Wednesday.

John Morris and B.C. scored a big five in the third end and coasted to an 8-3 win in eight over Ontario’s Greg Balsdon at the Tim Hortons Brier.

At 8-1, B.C. was at least temporarily alone in top spot, although Alberta at 7-1 was curling Ontario in the evening draw at the Tim Hortons Brier.

But Morris still had his eyes firmly focused on Thursday morning, when a win over Manitoba would guarantee him a spot in the onetwo game of the playoffs.

“We want that onetwo game,” he said. “If we win tomorrow morning we’re in the one-two game.”

Ontario and Saskatchewan weren’t quite eliminated from the third spot, at least in theory, but they would need to win out with games left against the leaders, starting with Ontario vs. Alberta

Wednesday night.

The hometown crowd has been loud and proud as Morris and Kamloops native Jim Cotter have shot the lights out since their one early loss in the fourth draw to Quebec.

Those fans did the best to raise the roof after Cotter tapped an Ontario stone out to score that five.

“It was a real tough shot but it’s a crowd pleaser and it’s a real lift for our team, so it’s exciting,” said Morris.

Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton continued to keep the leaders in sight with a 7-4 win over Steve Laycock of Saskatchewan. That left Manitoba at 7-2 and Saskatchewan at 4-3, tied with Ontario.

Stoughton and third John Mead looked a lot more in control, although they also benefited from Laycock’s mistakes.

“We got a great deuce in the first end and then it was pretty mistake free,” he said.

“A lot of great shots made, you have to do that, and it felt pretty good all around for all of our guys.”

Stoughton got a chance to rest Wednesday night but he’s just as keen as Morris to win Thursday morning and

get into that one-two game.

“We place B.C. which is a huge game for us. We play them in the morning and that could mean getting into the one-two game which is very important.”

They then face Balsdon and Ontario and the rookie has made a strong showing at his first Brier.

He lost to Morris in a disappointing performance at the Olympic Trials in Winnipeg in December. Morris went on to the final where he lost to Brad Jacobs.

Cotter, who throws fourth stones for B.C., has gained a lot of confidence and it shows, said Stoughton.

“I think John’s just brought so much confidence to that team. He’s made them believe that they’re a great team, which they obviously are.”

Morris was ranked as the top third (based on the stones he throws), Cotter the top skip and Rick Sawatsky the top lead in cumulative percentages after the first two draws Wednesday.

Only Manitoba second Mark Nichols stopped it from being a B.C. sweep.

Morrow allows 5 runs, Blue Jays lose 6-4 to Pirates MARK DIDTLER Associated Press

DUNEDIN, Fla. Brandon Morrow allowed five runs and six hits over three innings in the Toronto Blue Jays’ 6-4 loss Wednesday to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Morrow was making his second appearance since a season-ending forearm injury last May. On Feb. 28, the righthander gave up two hits and one run in two relief innings.

“The important thing, I felt good again,” Morrow said. “Forearm is feeling really good. I felt loose again. I felt

good with my breaking stuff. Fastball command kind of put me in a hole a couple times.”

Morrow struck out two, walked one, hit a batter and threw a wild pitch.

“He’s big,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “In a lot of ways he’s probably the most important guy, because we expected a lot out of him last year. He’s got as good an arm as anybody. When he’s on, when he’s healthy, he’s been a good big league pitcher. If he can fill that void, bounce back and have a full season out there where he doesn’t

go on the DL and you get his 30-plus starts, that will be big for us.”

Travis Snider had a first-inning RBI single and a two-run homer in the third off Morrow.

Snider spent time on the disabled list last season with a left big toe injury.

“Travis worked extremely hard this winter,” Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said.

“He’s moving so much better. Now that’s he healthy and physically ready to go, we’ll see where he can take us.”

Edwin Encarnacion had a two-run double for the Blue Jays.

The Mount Baker secondary school senior girls basketball is off to provincials in Vancouver for the rest of the week and the weekend.

Senior girls basketball team off to provincials Shaylee Rutledge Special to the Daily Townsman

On the first day of our journey to provincials, we excitedly boarded a plane to Vancouver.

Everyone was content in their seats, when the pilot announced over the speaker that the person sitting in seat 8A had won one thousand dollars in flight reward points! The stewardess came to the row in front of me and asked Heidi, who was shocked at this point, for her name. Heidi was sitting in 8A! Brette and I were suspicious because we had never heard of

this giveaway before. Heidi was ecstatic but realized that Megan, who was sitting beside her in the isle seat, actually had the ticket with 8A on it.

They called the stewardess back and explained the misunderstanding. She laughed and told Megan that she would need to go to the guest services desk to claim her prize upon our landing in fifteen minutes.

Brette and I watched her return to the front of the plane to see if she would interact with our coach, who we suspected was behind the generous giveaway.

The stewardess however,

was a very good actress. She had everyone believing Megan would now receive the prize and was not about to make a mistake.

After we landed, Megan asked Coach Nutini to go to the desk for her and ask about the prize voucher. He returned and told her she was the one who specifically needed to go and claim it. Brette and I looked at each other and were now even more suspicious that Coach Nutini was somehow behind it, but the rest of our team was expecting balloons and a big cardboard cheque.

We all watched in anticipa-

tion as Megan and Heidi approached the desk. After a few seconds of talking to the clerk, they turned around and started yelling at Coach Nutini.

He started to laugh and the rest of our team joined in. Our coach was indeed behind the elaborate prank, but it was a great way to start off our trip.

Shaylee Rutledge is a member of the Mount Baker Secondary School senior girls basketball team. She will be documenting the trials and tribulations of the Wild during their trip to the provincial championship in Vancouver.

Alpine skiers hit all corners of the province Submit ted

Kimberley Alpine Team athletes hit all corners of the province last week. Nancy Greene Racers travelled to Kicking Horse Resort in Golden, U14 racers participated in BC Winter Games at Hemlock Valley and U16 athletes skied at Purden, near Prince George for their provincials.

Kimberley ski racers perform in Golden Twelve ski racers from Kimberley Alpine Team participated at the Kicking Horse Nancy Greene Invitational Race. Ski Clubs from Kimberley, Lake Louise, Revelstoke, Fernie and Golden attended the race.

The race consisted of a Giant Slalom course and in spite of the very strong competition, the Kimberley racers held Kimberley’s name up high by performing very well at the race.

Three U14 Kimberley Alpine Team members travelled to Hemlock Valley Resort to compete in the alpine ski events for the BC Winter Games on Feb 21st to 23rd.

Emma Damm placed 16th in

the slalom and giant slalom and 11th in the skier cross.

Jamie Casselman and Ethan Blair competed in the U14 slalom, however mother nature and a broken chair lift interfered and the boys did not get to race their giant slalom and skier cross race.

As disappointing as it was for the boys, they still had a fun experience flying to Mission with their Kootenay zone team and spending a weekend with ski racers from across the province. These U14 athletes look forward to BC provincials which will be held in Sun Peaks in midMarch.

Three U16 racers went to Purden Mountain outside of Prince George for their provincial show down. Zoe Chore, Bronwyn Damm and Katie Clark were amongst 69 athletes from all over BC. The six days of racing consisted of two days of super G, two days of giant slalom and two days of slalom. Zoe Chore placed 5th in the province and her best result was 3rd in slalom. Katie Clark’s best result was 33rd in gs. Bronwyn Damm’s best result was 39th

Kicking Horse Nancy Greene Invitational race Hailey Pasula 1st place – girls age 4 Alek Damnjanovic 3rd place – boys age 6 Katarina Damnjanovic 1st place – girls age 7 Brayden Pasula 2nd place – boys age 7 Brendan du Preez 5th place – boys age 8 Jorja Look 5th place – girls age 8 Avery Blair 1st place – girls age 9 Trent Walkley 6th place – boys age 9 Charlize du Preez 1st place – girls age 10 Georgia Polomski 2nd place – girls age 10 Taya Woods 3rd place – girls age 10 Brendon Hoechsmann 2nd place – boys age 10 in slalom.

Alumni success Former Kimberley Alpine Team Members are also doing well. Indy Sherret has been invited to compete in her first World Cup Ski Cross in Sweden later this month. This is an opportunity for her to test her meddle against the world’s best, but more this is an opportunity for her to learn.

Rebecca Bermel and Gina Norton are competing in their own backyard at Kimberley Alpine Resort in the FIS Keurig

Super G and Downhill March 2nd to 7th. Over 90 athletes from Canada, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, and USA will be racing super g, downhill and slalom. This will be the first speed event for this age group and it will be used as a training opportunity.

In addition to the day racing, a night slalom race will take place Thursday March 6th at 6pm. Though crowds of 45,000 like they recently saw in Norway, are not expected in Kimberley it will be a great event to come out and watch.

The first thing I ask patients trying to lose weight is; how much would you like to lose and how long did it take you to gain that much weight? Or in other words when was the last time you were the desired weight?

What this does is make people realize that they did not put 10, 20, 30 even 100 pounds on their body’s overnight and it will take just as long, if not longer to get rid of any weight that they have accumulated over the years.

There is no magic solution that will burn fat from your body. No drug, pill or surgery can help you lose weight without side effects.

Counting calories is not the answer either as all calories are not created equal and the calculations are only estimates based on macronutrients. I could almost guarantee that if you ate 5000 calories of broccoli per day you would not gain weight (not that I recommend this). Low fat foods will lead to more weight gain as they contain either real or artificial sweeteners which your body converts to fat as well as other chemical additives that are harmful to cells and hormonal balance.

Hormones play a large and complex role in weight gain and weight loss that scientists and experts struggle to grasp and may never truly know the entire picture. Balancing these hormones will help you in the pursuit of weight loss, but in the absence of proper diet and exercise in daily living it will not be enough.

Fad diets can only take you so far and you may initially lose weight, but most of these are extreme and to continue with them will cause long term damage to the body. Once you cannot live off of these diets anymore your body will put the pounds right back on.

The only way to lose weight is to change your lifestyle completely and in a sustainable manner. Eating healthy every day and exercising regularly will help you lose weight gradually and for the long term. Foods and sweeteners that contain no calories are full of dangerous chemicals that will affect your body in ways that are just as harmful as weight gain and may even disrupt certain hormones leading to the weight that was attempting to be avoided.

The bottom line is that there is no quick fix for losing weight and no miraculous supplement or short term diet. The good news is that with the proper motivation and a whole foods diet, weight loss can be a healthy and sustainable goal to reach that leaves you feeling better in all aspects of your life.

Each individual should find their own diet, exercise routine and program that they enjoy and that best suits them, but here are some helpful tips to get you started.

Tips for weight loss • Eat mostly whole foods that do not come from a box, can or any other packaging • Do not eat within 3 hours of bedtime • See a health care professional to balance hormones that may be affecting your weight • Self-control when presented with opportunities to consume unhealthy foods • Regulating stress through meditation, daily journaling or gratitude exercises • At least 30 minutes of exercise daily – include weight training to gain muscle mass • Consume 3 cups of organic green tea daily which can help increase your metabolism • Eliminate food sensitivities from your diet

Live Life Well.

NHL landscape shifts on trade deadline day Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

Team Canada isn’t just another team, and the Heritage Classic isn’t just another game.

Because of that, no two decisions had a bigger impact on the NHL trade deadline than the original Team Canada roster and the Vancouver Canucks’ starting goaltender for last weekend’s outdoor game.

Had Steve Yzerman put Martin St. Louis on Sochi Olympic team from the start, and had Canucks coach John Tortorella chosen to start Roberto Luongo last weekend at B.C. Place, those two stars likely would not have found themselves in different places.

“If Torts would’ve put Roberto in the net, I wouldn’t have called (GM Mike Gillis) and Roberto wouldn’t have been worried about anything,” Luongo’s agent, Pat Brisson, said in a phone interview. “We wouldn’t have been talking, and I wouldn’t

have been asking to be granted permission to speak to teams, so therefore he might’ve still be a Canuck today.”

Instead, Luongo returned to the Florida Panthers as Gillis sought a different direction for the Canucks’ organization.

Yzerman, serving in a dual role as Canada’s executive director and the Tampa Bay Lightning’s general manager, appeared to sense that trouble might be afoot after announcing the roster on Jan. 7. He wanted to be wrong.

“I’m hopeful that we can get through this and continue to play,” Yzerman said. “He’s a guy that I want to finish his career (in Tampa).”

Less than two months later and less than two weeks after winning a gold medal with St. Louis playing a role as an injury replacement for Steven Stamkos, Yzerman ensured that wouldn’t happen by trading his captain to the New York Rangers for

Ryan Callahan and two draft picks. That happened only after the 38-year-old winger asked for a trade and Yzerman “honoured his request.”

Yzerman didn’t have to trade St. Louis, but he didn’t want to let an unhappy player’s emotions fester within the locker-room of a team very much set up to make the playoffs.

“I try not to overreact to any situation - you think it through,” Yzerman told reporters in Tampa, Fla. “As a manager you always have to look out for what’s best for the organization.”

There were plenty of conversations between players and agents, agents and general managers and GMs in concert before 3 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday. Yzerman was hoping his talks with St. Louis wouldn’t lead to this conclusion but after previous dealings he didn’t seem entirely surprised that the veteran wanted out.

BUSINESS TO BUSINESS Our Mission Statement:

Fostering a healthy business climate in Cranbrook & District

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Dave Butler

D

uring the third week of February, we took full advantage of the opportunity to celebrate Chamber of Commerce Week. Like Chambers of Commerce all across British Columbia, we showcased our hard work on behalf of the business community, using the theme of “Leadership in Action.”

This highlights the leadership that Chambers bring to their communities, working hard to enhance B.C. as a business-friendly jurisdiction with strong opportunities for all residents.

First up in that week was an inspiring meeting where your Cranbrook and District

Chamber of Commerce hosted Chambers of Commerce throughout the East and West Kootenay. We met Board members and Chamber staff from around the region, and I was struck by the high degree of passion and commitment to the success of business and communities in our area. That’s a good thing.

At our February 19th luncheon, we were pleased to hear from David Walls, the new President and CEO of the College of the Rockies. David talked about the College’s significant and wide-ranging contributions to the local economy, and we discussed how the business community and the

College can work more closely together.

We also hosted an open house at our office, which was an opportunity for members to talk business with each other, and to meet Chamber staff, Board members and those businesses with which we share our offices.

We finished the week with a breakfast meeting with MLA Bill Bennett (who is also the Minster of Energy and Mines, and a former President of the Cranbrook Chamber).

Bill gave us an overview of the new provincial budget and answered a wide range of questions from the early risers in the audience.

Chamber Directors and staff continue to work hard to advance our strategic priorities for the year.

2nd Vice-President Avana Gjendem is leading our “Membership Mavens” committee, which is identifying and implementing ways to make the Chamber more relevant to more businesses in Cranbrook and area. Avana and her team are looking at ways to increase our overall membership numbers (our collective goal is to reach 500 members by the end of the year!) and to be sure that our membership roster is representative of the business community. But just as importantly, we must contin-

ue to ensure that being a member of the Chamber is a good investment for area businesses. In our annual member’s survey, many of you told us that networking is important, so watch for new opportunities to do just that. And if you know of local businesses that aren’t members of the Chamber but should be, please encourage them to join us.

Bring them to the next Chamber luncheon, which is being held at the College of the Rockies on March 12th!

1st Vice-President Dave Struthers is leading our “Economic Drivers” committee. Their focus is promoting economic development, and they’ll be looking at the

Wildsight connects kids to the wonders of winter Submit ted

Now in its 7th year, Wildsight’s Winter Wonder program continues to educate, amaze, and connect students across the Columbia Basin, as they learn about the joys, secrets, and wonders of our winters.

Nearly 160 field trips are booked this year, up from 140 last winter. The program takes almost 3,100 students between Kindergarten and Grade 3 on a half-day field trip to explore winter wildlife ecology, snow science, and weather - all concepts embedded in the current curriculum.

“Requests for these popular programs always seem to increase,” explains Monica Nissen, Wildsight’s Education in the Wild Program Manager.

“This year, sadly, we had to turn away classes. Despite adding an additional 20 field trips this year, we have more demand than we can accommodate.”

“Across Canada, kids are spending less and less time outside. Winter Wonder gets kids outside, connecting them with the magic of winter ecology and their backyards. Our team of

twelve professional outdoor educators bring the curriculum to life for students.”

Winter Wonder educators show up in costume, and ‘Frosty Flake’, ‘Jill Frost’ or other magical characters lead the class through a range of hands-on activities, in and out of the class.

Wildsight gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Columbia Basin Trust, Fortis BC, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, the North Face Explore Fund and the BC Gaming Commission.

Cranbrook school children are among 3,000 students who have taken the Winter Wonder program.

NYC artists live on 25-foot-tall ‘human hamster wheel’ Ul a Ilnytzky Associated Press

NEW YORK — Ever feel like you’re on a big hamster wheel and you can’t get off?

Ward Shelley and Alex Schweder know that feeling all too well. The two performance artists are spending 10 days living, eating and sleeping on a giant hamster wheel to make a larger point: We all have to work together to get through the daily grind.

“I wasn’t prepared for this ... perhaps I should have been,’’ Shelley said from atop the wheel, his feet dangling off the side of the 25-foot (7.5-meter)-tall wood-and-metal structure.

One wrong move by him or his fellow human hamster and they risk being thrown off. They are perched on opposite ends of the wheel, 180 degrees from each other, and must carefully co-ordinate their movements.

When one walks, the other must walk in the opposite direction.

When one stops, the other must stop.

“It’s really an exploration of what it means to collaborate,’’ Schweder said from the relative safety at the bottom, inside of the wheel. “It’s an exploration of trust between two people.’’

Their live performance called “In Orbit’’ runs through Sunday at The Boiler, the Pierogi gallery’s performance space in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. A few curious onlookers have come by to gawk at the spectacle, which often is more still life than poetry in motion.

On a recent visit, Shelley and Schweder kept the wheel moving for only a few seconds at a time.

The wheel they built themselves is 60 feet (18 metres) in circumference and equipped with everything they need: nar-

row beds, chairs, desks, a fridge, rudimentary kitchen (they’ve made omelets and sausages) and a chemical toilet (with privacy screen) — all strapped down. Even the participants are tethered to safety harnesses.

“We’re living on a big wheel that is essentially a two-bedroom apartment,’’ Schweder said.

“Sleeping is a kind of refuge,’’ Shelley added. “There’s psychological pressure here being in this thing so when you get to sleep it’s easy to stay there.’’

Both men say they knew going in that life on the wheel would be tough, and they are trying to stay mentally tough until they can once again get back on terra firma.

“Ten days is a number you can hold in your mind and count down,’’ Shelley said. “It’s like being told to stand in the corner when you’re a kid.’’

Scientist find gene that lets butterflies mimic their unpalatable cousins Malcolm Rit ter Associated Press

NEW YORK — To fool predators, some butterflies create wing colour patterns that make them resemble their unpalatable cousins.

Only recently have scientists been unraveling how they do that, and now researchers have identified the gene that does the trick for an Asian swallowtail.

In fact, it’s a surprise that just one gene can let females of the species, sometimes called the common mormon, produce the elaborate wing markings of toxic relatives. Scientists had proposed that it would AP Photo/Krushnamegh Kunte, Khew Sin Khoo, Rohit Girotra take a cluster of genes.

“We were very shocked These photos show a toxic Common Rose butterfly, top, whose wing markings are when we found it was just mimicked by a Common Mormon butterfly, the one,’’ said Marcus Kronforst of the University of bottom.

Chicago, senior author of the study published online Wednesday by the journal Nature.

The gene was already known to play a different role, basically telling body cells whether the insect is male or female. It was apparently co-opted to take on the second job of controlling wing patterns in females, Kronforst said.

The gene acts as a switch, regulating other genes to produce wing patterns that mimic those of any of three species of toxic butterflies. A given butterfly’s pattern depends on what versions of the gene it inherited from each parent.

The gene can also make a female’s wing look like a male’s.

WHO urging people to limit sugar calories Helen Br answell Canadian Press

TORONTO — The World Health Organization is urging people to lower the amount of sugar they eat.

The Geneva-based global health agency says people should restrict their intake of sugar to no more than 10 per cent of their daily calorie intake, but getting it down below five per cent would be better.

The draft recommendations, which will likely be contentious, will be open for public comment for the rest of March.

The WHO has long urged people to limit sugar calories to below 10 per cent of their daily calories, but the five per cent target is new.

To put it into context, five per cent would be about six teaspoons of sugar a day; a can of sugar-sweetened soda contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar.

The recommendations relate to what are called free sugars — those added by manufacturers, cooks or

consumers.

They relate to all monosaccharides — things like glucose and fructose — and disaccharides such as sucrose or table sugar, as well as sugars in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit concentrates.

The recommendations do not relate to “intrinsic’’ sugars — those built into whole foods such as fruits or vegetables.

The recommendations look at limiting sugar intake in relation to lowering the risk of obesity and dental decay, two conditions scientific studies suggest are linked to excess sugar consumption.

In 2004 when the WHO tried to include the 10 per cent sugar limit recommendation in its Global Strategy for Diet, Physical Activity and Health, the U.S. Congress — under pressure from the sugar industry lobby — threatened to withdraw U.S. funding for the agency. The direct reference to the 10 per cent figure was removed from the final report.

Saving Jaws from the bite

Conservationists try to get sharks out of Trinidad’s sandwiches ASSOCIATED PRESS

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Conservationists said Wednesday they have launched a shark-saving campaign in the Caribbean country of Trinidad & Tobago, trying to stop locals and tourists from eating a popular delicacy: deep-fried shark sandwiches.

Many have long considered “bake & shark’’ sandwiches to be an essential part of a visit to Trinidad’s popular Maracas beach, a

white-sand strip lined with shacks serving fried juvenile shark and bread smothered in a variety of toppings such as mango chutney and tamarind sauce.

But the local Papa Bois Conservation group is now pushing for a ban on the catch and trade of the marine predators to help protect a fast-dwindling population. It started its campaign during Trinidad’s famed Carnival celebrations, which ended at midnight. Support-

ers have rallied on the traffic-jammed road to Maracas carrying placards made in the shape of sharks with messages like “Save our sharks, save our oceans.’’

Group director Marc de Verteuil acknowledged Wednesday that the sandwiches are something “Trinidadians are very proud of; it is practically a national dish.

But at the same time, most people simply don’t understand that sharks are in crisis.’’

Researchers with the In-

ternational Union for the Conservation of Nature say one-quarter of the world’s sharks and rays are threatened with extinction.

De Verteuil said overfishing in local waters has gotten so bad that much of the shark meat may now be imported. Shark fillets are also sold in supermarkets and upscale restaurants here, and environmentalists say the waters of the small twin-island country of 1.3 million people also play an

outsized role in supplying shark fins for a soup popular in China.

The most recent data collected from the Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong, a major global trade hub for shark fin, ranked Trinidad & Tobago as the biggest fin exporter to the Asian city. Much of the 332,396 kilograms (732,808 pounds) of shark fin caught and exported from Trinidad to Hong Kong in 2011 were from creatures caught as by-

catch by international fishing boats operating legally in Trinidadian waters.

Tracy Whiskey, who works at Patsy’s Bake & Shark, a restaurant started by her mother nearly 40 years ago, said she thinks the call for people to stop eating shark sandwiches is encroaching on local culture.

“It’s unfair because people have been eating this and loving it for a long time,’’ she said. “Bake & shark is one of the main meals here.’’

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could be discouraged by someone else’s resentment of you. Your frustration could come to the surface. Consider how to express your feelings without judging the other party. Postpone a friendly chat until tomorrow, if possible. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll dominate to an unusual extent, partially because someone refuses to discuss the issue at hand. Communication easily could get messed up and cause a misunderstanding. Make your choices your own. Let others know where you are coming from. Tonight: Out and about.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pretend that you are not in the room. Just listen and take in information. The results will be far better for you, as well as for others. Keep your opinions to yourself, as they could change rapidly in the next few days.

Tonight: Go out and join friends.

Be yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You naturally will shine in a meeting. On some level, you’ll like what you hear or see, even if a disagreement dominates the moment. You might want to see how you can move past this problem -- perhaps not today, but in the near future. Tonight: Kick back and relax.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be in the midst of some tension that you would like to forget about. Consider eliminating this pressure, and try to resolve the problem soon. Use the late afternoon for meetings and other interpersonal matters. Tonight: Get into weekend mode early.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If no one is talking or one party is closed down, resolving a misunderstanding could be close to impossible. If you are the party who is closed down, it would better to talk. If it’s the other person, keep reaching out. Tonight: Join favorite people at a favorite place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to come to an

Tundra

understanding with a loved one before everyone has gotten too involved with a particular issue.

Refuse to get stuck. A special friend will try to lighten your mood. Before you know it, you could be laughing. Tonight: Try something totally new.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your moods could have a bigger impact than you might realize.

Be more forthright if you want a problem resolved. You could be vested in this present mental stance as well. Let a partner air out his or her ideas without becoming judgmental. Tonight: Say “yes” to someone’s whims.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Go with the moment, and know what you desire. You might have kept a lot of your thoughts to yourself, despite your gregarious personality. Others could be stunned by how sensitive you can be. Stay on top of calls and emails. Tonight: Toss yourself into a fun scene.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Upon hearing certain conversations, your mind could jump to better ideas and new ways of

handling a personal matter. Follow through on these thoughts more often. Do not feed into a communication issue. Stay open. Tonight: Run some errands on the way home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might opt to stay close to home. You could find others in a strange mood, which will make it difficult to deal with them. A conversation with someone at a distance might make you feel uneasy. Try not to let this get to you. Tonight: Let your spontaneity out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take an overview. Conversations will be about the story, not the real issues below the surface. A close associate, friend or loved one could be more than difficult. At present, he or she might seem more fiery than you have witnessed in a while.

Tonight: Head home early.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married to a special man for 23 years. The problem is, he has too close of a relationship with his mother. It doesn’t allow the two of us to have any adult space.

We didn’t entirely get along under one roof because he would say critical and hurtful things to me. About 10 years ago, I moved down the road into my own space. Since then, we have gotten along better and are much kinder to each other. The problem, however, is my mother-in-law. She insists on calling my husband and talking for several hours every Sunday. I used to talk to her, too, but grew bored with it because I had nothing to say after 20 minutes. He loves small talk.

I wanted time for the two of us to have an occasional weekend alone, but he always had this obligatory hours-long phone call.

I decided to tolerate this and took a Sunday job so I’d keep busy. But gradually, the calls encroached on the rest of our week. Every time we took a trip together, she’d call multiple times while he was driving to be certain he hadn’t crashed. She somehow manages to call every time we are intimate. And of course, the real problem is that my husband answers these calls or lets the answering machine pick them up so we can hear her message. She is amazingly loud. How am I supposed to be passionate when I can hear her booming voice in the background?

Annie, I’ve tried everything. I asked him to phone her before my visits so we could have some time alone. I’ve asked him to let her know we need time to ourselves. But I’m worn out. I’ve stopped asking. I rarely visit him these days.

My father-in-law was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. Am I being small-minded now that she has real worries and fears? -- Phoenix Dear Phoenix: The fact that your motherin-law is going through some difficult times means you should be kind and considerate, even helpful when possible, but not a doormat. If you could periodically phone or visit her to see how she’s doing, or offer to bring groceries or stay with her husband so she can have a break, those would be kind gestures. But your husband has chosen not to limit his mother’s phone calls even though it interferes with his relationship with you.

That is unlikely to change, especially now.

Dear Annie: I do not have a dishwasher.

I wash all of my dishes and silverware by hand. I place my silverware in the dish drain rack with the handles down and the eating end up. I think it makes sense that the water drains away from the eating end, making it more sanitary. And the bottom of the drain can accumulate all kinds of detritus. Why would I want my fork tines in that?

My friend disagrees and says it should be the other way around so that you don’t catch your hand on a knife while emptying the dish rack. What do you say? -- Em from Indy Dear Em: We’re with you when it comes to forks, spoons and butter knives, but sharp knives should be placed facing down in order to avoid injury.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Less Generous.” I, too, consider myself thoughtful and generous. For years I sent cards, gifts, photos, etc., for every occasion. My efforts seemed to go unappreciated, so I stopped.

I now focus on the people who do respond to my efforts, and I cultivate those relationships.

I am teaching my 7-year-old daughter to write thank-you notes. She says, “Do I have to?” I say, “Yes. If someone made the effort to think of you, then you need to acknowledge their effort.” I hope it sticks. -- Still Generous Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries

Obituaries OOSTENBRINK, John 1950 - 2014

After 63 years living on terra firma, I, John Oostenbrink, have transferred my residence to the Kingdom of Heaven. The transfer comes as no surprise as my material has been sent for decades. This material with the Master Builder, Jesus Christ has provided a mansion. The property and citizenship was previously paid for by the blood of Christ. There are no mortgages, no taxes, no insurance; it is completely debt free, and all utilities have been paid for eternity. It is situated in a beautiful neighbourhood where all the resident are called Saints. The city is located in a gated community, and if you know Jesus Christ, I will greet you just inside the gate.

John Oostenbrink loved people by sharing his music and his creative appreciation of nature and art. John was Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musician - the harmony of music resonated through his soul and he composed wonderful music; the piano was his first choice but he could make any instrument sing. The childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite memories were listening to Dad play the piano while they fell asleep; and Pooba sing as he soothed the grand babies. John leaves a legacy of the wonderful music he has composed and the creativity of his many handcraft talents (he loved tools and puzzles).

Obituaries Marilyn Ann Olson February 6th, 1944 February 23rd, 2014

We sadly announce the passing of Marilyn Ann Olson. Marilyn was born in Nelson, British Columbia to Florence and Henry Turner. At an early age, she moved to Kimberley, British Columbia. At age fifteen, she met the love of her life, Richard, they married five years later and settled in Cranbrook, British Columbia to raise their family.

For the next fifty years, Marilyn rode shotgun and sang along with Rick as they lived and loved.

Marilyn was a loving mother and wife and had a wonderful sense of humour. She babysat all of her many grandkids. She enjoyed walking, feeding the birds and solving crossword puzzles. As well, she especially loved gathering wood and picking berries with her husband.

After working at K-Mart for twenty-five years, she retired and continued her friendships with the K-Mart ladies at their monthly lunches. Marilyn and Richard often enjoyed morning coffee with their friends at McDonalds. She will be missed every day.

Marilyn is survived by her husband Rick, and their children Tammy Olson (Tim), Kevin Olson (Christy), Melody Wilford (Darren) and Dennis Olson, her grandchildren Brian McLarnon, Justin Grandberg (Sarah), Jessica, Jaik, Jackson and Blake Olson, and Dempsey, Emily and Nolan Wilford, her great granchildren Alaia and Naythaniel Grandberg and Caden McLarnon, her brothers Ron Turner (Darlene), Mike Turner (Wendy) and Bob Turner, her brother and sister-in-laws Chuck and Donna Olson and Betty Walmsley as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents and her brother Ken Turner.

Following Marilyn’s wishes, there will not be a service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the charity of your choice.

Nothing you would take Everything you gave....

Fort Steele Heritage Town held its fifth Pro-D Day camp of the school year on Feb. 28. The children played a game of hockey on the large outdoor rink and created a colourful stained-glass-style craft. For lunch they made calzone pizza pockets. In the afternoon the kids did a scavenger hunt and then visited the chickens and ducks, learning the importance of feeding, providing water and collecting chicken eggs. A high point of the day was a tug of war and a challenging egg toss game! The next camp is March 17-28 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a full week of discovering everything about Fort Steele, including tinsmithing, livestock tours, sewing projects, arts and crafts, baking, games and races. Lunch and snacks are provided. It is for kids in Grades 1-6 and costs $175 per child plus tax, with a discount for siblings. Daily rates are also available. Space is limited, so call 250-417-6000 to register. Pictured, back row, left to right: Brooke Wheeldon, Paul Freitag and Laurel Buch.

Dynamic innovator bringing genomics to Cranbrook Submit ted

Genome British Columbia is taking our community engagement program, “Bringing Genomics Home” on the road to Cranbrook for the fourth year in a row.

“Engineering genomics” is a lively and engaging presentation about the interplay of technology and life sciences by Dr. Robin Coope with a special video introduction by Dr. Jennifer Gardy, a national figure in science communication.

Community members are welcome to join him at College of the Rockies for a conversation about genomics and how we can use DNA sequencing to solve all sorts of mysteries – including how a disease outbreak happens.

Dr. Robin Coope is Instrumentation Group Leader at the BC Cancer Agency’s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre and Co-Director of the Genome BC Technology Development Platform. Dr. Coope,

This free public talk begins at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 11 at College of the Rockies’

ROUTES IN CRANBROOK:

1

The BC government has introduced legislation to change the Electoral Boundaries Commission Act so that there will be no loss of rural seats in the Kootenays, the Cariboo-Thompson and the North.

2

The Act requires that every second election a Commission is set up to assess provincial electoral boundaries. This typically results in the loss of rural constituencies. The last Commission in 2006 stated there would be no way to avoid the loss of rural seats in 2014 unless the Act is changed.

3

Although the NDP are speaking against this important change, the BC Liberal majority will pass the legislation that will prevent the loss of 17 rural seats and will prevent the addition of anymore than the existing 85 seats in the BC Legislature.

Robin Coope with a diverse career in science TV, art installations, Lego robots and research innovation is well known in the life sciences community for his enthusiasm and diverse portfolio of projects, from laboratory automation to medical devices.

“We are delighted that Dr. Coope is able to bring his insight and knowledge to the people of Cranbrook”, says Dr. Alan Winter, President & CEO of Genome BC. “This young researcher is at the forefront of his field and he will bring a special combination of energy and passion to their presentation.”
