BARRY COULTERAn increase in over-
dose deaths is accompa-nying an increase in availability and type of illicit drugs in southeast B.C.
According to Interior Health and ANKORS (Aids Network Outreach & Support Society) re-cent BC Coroner statis-tics show there has been a gradual increase in opioid related overdose deaths over the last 24 months across B.C., in-cluding communities within Interior Health. In addition, community agencies continue to re-
ceive reports about indi-viduals experiencing fatal and non-fatal over-doses.
Dr. Trevor Corneil, Medical Health Officer for Interior Health said that with a general in-crease in the number of overdose deaths, related to illicit drugs, more than 80 per cent of them have an opioid involved or de-tected post mortem. The majority of overdose symptoms are being re-ported after using opioid drugs such as OxyContin and heroin.
Overdose deaths on the rise in EKInterior Health concerned by fatal and non-fatal overdoses
in the Kootenays, and a market for illicit drugs that’s “clearly
having some success”
RCMPA Cranbrook youth has pleaded guilty to arson.Early on Nov. 11, 2015., the Cranbrook Fire De-
partment responded to a fire at Laurie Middle School in Cranbrook. Cranbrook RCMP also attend-ed the scene. Arson was suspected as the cause of the fire.
An extensive investigation by the Cranbrook RCMP General Investigation Section led to the ar-rest of a 14-year-old male who was charged with arson. On Monday, Feb. 29, the youth pled guilty in Cranbrook Courts receiving a one year intensive support and supervision order.
The Cranbrook RCMP would like to thank mem-bers of the public for helping ensure that this case came to a successful conclusion.
T R E VO R C R AW L E YThe Grand Slam of
Curling coming to Cranbrook is a big deal.
That was the mes-
sage from Kevin Mar-tin, a Olympic gold medalist in the sport who was in Cranbrook on Tuesday to help generate some buzz for
the tournament. The Grand Slam of
Curling circuit is im-portant to the game because of it’s purpose, according to Martin,
which was to provide a competitive outlet to junior curlers.
Junior curlers would go up against the old guard — guys

like Martin and Glenn Howard — and lose in the play down season — while the winners went on to the big tournaments such as the Tim Horton’s Brier and the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
So the Grand Slams, which began with one event in the early 1990s, was created to give those junior curlers a competi-tive outlet. Now, from one event, the Grand Slams have expanded to seven that get rotated throughout communities in Canada.
“From the Grand Slam point of view, getting the young curlers to play a full season … so we still have today, the junior Canadian Championship on or around Christmastime,” Martin said. “So anybody who doesn’t win, the ju-niors don’t curl after Christmas. So how are they supposed to get any good?
“It made no sense to me. How are you going to get any good if you only play half a season? So the Grand Slams started.”
In 1998, curling became a medal sport at the Naga-no Winter Olympic Games that gave curling a higher worldwide profile which helped attract younger players as well.
“Now with the younger ages winning, you’ve got the athletes looking so fit, they’re jacked in both the mens and women’s now, which draws corporate awareness,” Martin said. TREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO

Trevor CrawleyChef Rusty Cox is the
new Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge champion.
By a razor-thin mar-gin of 6-5 in voting from fellow chefs and celebri-ty judges, Chef Cox, with The Heidout Restaurant and Brewhouse, won the title with his lemon-grass ginger chicken and vegetable creation.
Chef Graham Barnes, representing Max’s Place, challenged with a split-pea with bacon soup, as the two went head-to-head at the final matchup at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort on Wednesday.
They were judged by fellow chefs that had been knocked out in previous rounds, along with some local celebri-ty personalities.
Chef Cox was recog-nized for winning the title with a trophy tablet from Kootenay Granite.
“It was just nice to be invited back,” Chef Cox said. “First year, once you do things, you’re never quite sure if you’re
Chef Cox wins Stone Soup Challenge
going to get invited back, depending on perfor-mance.
“You get knocked out first or second round, you wonder if they want someone a little differ-ent, but to come back again, it was even more fun this time.”
Chef Cox went back into his past as a culi-nary artist to choose his soup, while also taking into consideration the palates of his judges.
“I’m a big fan of Asian soups,” Chef Cox said. “When i was living in Af-rica, I was a chef in Tan-
zania, in Zanzibar, for Fairmont Hotels, and we had wild lemongrass growing all throughout the resort. So it’s one of the things that I love to cook with.
“So we had lemon-grass, ginger, onions and garlic as the base for the soup and then every-thing else just built on that.”
The two chefs had a budget of $125 to buy any ingredients they wanted to create what-ever soup they wanted for a sold-out audience in the Prestige Rocky
Mountain Resort ball-room.
Chef Cox had a lot of prep work to start his soup, while Chef Barnes had a lot of moving parts to wrap up his soup.
“The important thing is to cook the bacon first, get all the fat out, then you cook all your vegeta-bles in the fat for the good flavour,” Barnes said.
“It’s one I’ve made for a long time at the store and people love it and I get lots of good com-ments on it. I make it all the time so it’s familiar.
It’s wintertime and it’s good to have a pea soup, especially because it just snowed.”
The Kootenay Gran-ite Stone Soup Chal-lenge, in it’s second year, is a joint fundraiser for the Salvation Army’s 24/7 homeless shelter and the Cranbrook and District Community Fu-ture’s general endow-ment fund.
Jody Jacob, the fund development co-ordina-tor for the CDCF, didn’t have an exact figure, but was confident that they’d hit their $10,000
fundraising goal.“I’m really happy,”
Jacob said. “I’ve got some really engaged and committed spon-sors. The chefs are awe-some. They were excited to come back.
“Watching them work is pretty special — they’re culinary genius-es — and it’s so fun to witness.”
Jacob noted the in-clusion of the Salvation Army clientele and their importance to creating excitement around the stone soup challenge.
“They’re really and
essential part to the en-tire event,” Jacob said. “They were showing up every day. They were asking when the next competition was, they were sampling the soups, they were casting a vote, they were really critiquing the soups and the chefs and wanting to know more about what was going on.”
The final was the cul-mination of two weeks of opening and semifi-nal round culinary ac-tion at the Salvation Army Soup kitchen. Aside from Chef Cox and Chef Barnes, partic-ipants included: Chef Lindsay Waugh (Hot Shots Cafe, Culinary Arts student), Chef Kevin McDonald (West Coast Grill), Chef Doug Wag-ner (St. Eugene Golf Re-sort and Casino), Chef Shelby Schiller (BJ’s Restaurant and Creekside Pub), Chef Carmen Alaric (Salva-tion Army) and celebrity chef David D. Hull (Chamber of Com-merce).

Tre vor Cr awleyWhile times are
tough for Canada’s min-ing industry, there is hope for the future, ac-cording to Pierre Grat-ton, the president of the Mining Association of Canada, who was in Cranbrook on Tuesday to address a gathering of Kootenay Chamber of Commerce members.
“We are a cyclical in-dustry and cycles are predictably unpredict-able and that’s one of the key takeaways for today. But the second is that mining is here to stay,” said Gratton.
“Minerals and met-als are the foundation of everything we enjoy in our daily lives and the world will continue to need them. And Canada can, and should be, an important place where these important miner-als and metals are found and supplied for gener-ations to come.”
Gratton referenced the economic impor-tance of the Teck coal mines in the Elk Valley to the region and noted how low commodity prices have had a direct affect on the area. In 2011, coal was $330 per metric ton. Now, prices are $80 per metric ton.
“Global economic growth has been vola-tile,” Gratton said. “Every time the Bank of Canada, the IMF, the World Bank or any other illustrious groups make growth projections, three months later they use revised growth pro-jections, and usually it’s a bit worse than what they were projecting originally.”
Much of the down-turn in growth is coming out of China, which is consuming 50 per cent of the world’s demand for metals and minerals.
Gratton said the focus of China’s con-sumption is shifting, while growth rates are also declining in Brazil, Mexico, and other coun-tries in Asia and Africa.
However, the one ex-ception is India—which Gratton says is the next China, in terms of its de-mand for raw minerals and metals.
“With that growth rate, we’re going to see another big jump in de-mand for commodities and consequently, pric-es for commodities,” he
said. While Gratton ad-
mits that there is a sig-nificant downturn worldwide, there are opportunities to come out ahead as new mar-kets are developed, in-vestment is attracted and prices rebound.
“The prevailing view is that the future looks bright for this sector,” Gratton continued. “The fundamentals that we talked an awful lot about in the super cycle of the last decade re-main in place. China is not going anywhere; there are a billion peo-ple there, there’s anoth-er billion in India that are entering the middle class that want to con-sume the same products and have the same kind of lifestyle that we take for granted and to get there, they’re going to need a lot more miner-als and metals.”
The lower Canadian dollar has provided a bit of a shield the industry, while low oil prices have had a dramatic effect in aiding companies in re-ducing their energy costs.
On the topic of a low-carbon future, Grat-ton noted the mining industry will be integral to renewable energies.
It takes 140 tones of steel-making coal to build a wind turbine and 30,000 tones went into making the Canada Line, a rapid transit rail system in Vancouver. The average electric car contains 165 of copper wiring.
In mining opera-tions, energy expendi-tures account for up to 30 per cent of a mine’s operating costs.
Some mines are ex-perimenting with using Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) in their haul trucks, such as Fording River in the Elk Valley.
“Part of the challenge to switching to natural gas as a cleaner alterna-tive is infrastructure and you have to be able to access that product,” Gratton said. “When we can do that, we can eas-
ily find ways for the in-dustry to continue it’s work in reducing car-bon emissions.”
Gratton also spoke about the mining indus-try’s relationship with First Nations, especially within the context of reconciliation. The Su-preme Court recently handed down a deci-sion which granted a disputed land title to an Aboriginal group in the Chilcotin region and Gratton insisted that no mining company should move forward with any kind of project opposed by local Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal com-munities.
Gratton noted that dialogue is important and brought up the ben-efits of revenue-sharing agreements.
“…We believe reve-nue sharing can in-crease the participation of aboriginal peoples, businesses and govern-ments in the mining in-
Mining president sees hope for industry’s future
Canada remains an attractive place to invest for mining, as it contin-ues to be the leading ju-risdiction in the world for exploration.
Northern Canada is especially ripe for explo-ration, however, there is an infrastructure chal-lenge in getting extract-ed minerals to markets.
“In the north, you don’t have a lot of the things you take for granted in the South. Like roads, ports, rail-ways and connection to electricity, to the grid,” Gratton said. “If we’re going to continue to grow our industry northward, we’re going to start thinking about those types of strategic investments.”

“The availability of drugs on the illicit market has been increasing,” Dr. Corneil said in an inter-view with the Townsman. “The number of options and types of drugs within that market have been in-creasing, and we don’t have a lot of control over that.”
Dr. Corneil said it is important to know there is not one particular group being affected.
“We have those peo-ple with significant men-tal health issues and sig-nificant addiction prob-lems who are dying, but we also have recreational users. People don’t real-ize that there are recre-ational injection drug users. Those people are at risk as well.”
Every year, at least since 2008, has shown a gradual but steady in-crease in the number of overdose deaths.
“In Interior Health in 2008, there 20 overdose deaths related to illicit drugs, and in 2015 there were 60,” Dr. Corneil said. “So every year it
was more than the year before — basically a straight line heading up.
“Into this year, we al-ready have some pre-liminary numbers from January — they’re pre-liminary because the data is fluid in the sense that coroners are con-stantly adjusting or changing decisions that are made around the final cause of death. But the preliminary number for January is 15 over-dose deaths for the re-gion. It’s a trend, unless the February total was nine. I wouldn’t call it a spike yet, until we have a couple more months of data.”
‘A Market Clearly Having Some Success’
Information coming forward shows there is not one specific “bad batch” of drugs. The ma-jority of overdose symp-toms are being reported after using opioid drugs such as OxyContin and heroin.
“What’s interesting is that we’re seeing it ev-
“Heroin is the same drug it always was. The problem is that like fen-tanyl it’s an opiate, and opiates suppress the re-spiratory system in a very uncontrollable way. You have to be real-ly knowledgeable as a user if you’re going to try and use it safely, or at least in a safer way. That’s why we speak a lot about education and knowledge awareness, testing, using smaller doses or hits before your usual amount so you know what you’re using.”
Interior Health has several harm reduction programs to help users, including a Take Home Naloxone program that trains participants to
recognize and respond to an overdose situation, using a naloxone kit. Naloxone can reverse (stop) an opioid over-dose – in the event of an overdose, naloxone re-stores breathing within 2-5 minutes of adminis-tration and offers the opportunity to save a life and reduce harm relat-ed to the overdose while waiting for help to ar-rive.
“And of course access to treatment is essential, these are opportunities to get people into treat-ment when they’re ready, and I think that’s the direction we need to go,” Dr. Corneil said.
‘Safe Injection Sites In Our Future’
The subject of safe injection sites, as exist in Vancouver, is likely to become a subject of dis-cussion across the prov-ince, and perhaps a re-ality, Dr. Corneil said.
“There’s been a lot of questions about safe consumption sites, or safe injection sites as they’re also known,” he said. “They’ve been shown to be very effec-tive for a specific popu-lation — those who are heavy users or those who are brand new to using, particularly the injection route. In Brit-ish Columbia we know the Appeals Court in B.C., also the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that these are in fact health care sites and
therefore can be ex-empted under Section 56 of the Controlled Substances And Drugs Act.”
The federal govern-ment in fact has recently given approval for a sec-ond safe injection site in Vancouver.
“Certainly indication are that the current gov-ernment is showing in-terest in evidence and acknowledging that these do work,” Dr. Corneil said. “It has begun to open up the discussion for these as options for people.
“Will we see one in Interior Health? Very possibly in the next year or two. We’re looking at feasibility right now, whether stakeholders are interested, and once we have a proposal that makes some kind of sense we’ll be able to bring that to the com-munity and engage stakeholders and com-munity members in that discussion.”
Interior Health and its partners like AN-KORS offer a variety of programs including: withdrawal manage-ment, opioid replace-ment therapy, counsel-ling, and housing sup-ports. To access treat-ment services, talk to your physician or con-tact one of the agencies listed below.

Overdose deaths on the rise in Interior Healtherywhere. Certainly the bigger cities are being impacted, but so are the smaller cities. Where this was really a ‘never occurrence’ in the Cran-brook/Trail area, we’ve see anywhere between one and three every year for the past three years, and that is likely to in-crease.”
There has been a lot of recent publicity con-cerning the painkiller fentanyl, which has be-come a problem in terms of substance abuse. But Dr. Corneil says Fentanyl is “only one piece of the puzzle.”
“We have seen an in-crease in fentanyl — fentanyl has flooded the market in the last five years. About a third of cases have fentanyl de-tected in the system post-mortem. But two thirds of the cases are not fentanyl related. If you pulled out all those cases, you would still see increasing trends that speaks to access and a market (market for illicit drugs) clearly … having some success.

C AROLYN GR ANTCurling is a sport that
can be enjoyed by peo-ple of all ages. It is also a family sport. It is not un-common to find second, third and fourth genera-tion curlers. In Kimber-ley, two successful teams are heading to two different provincial championships this week and it is very much a family affair.
The Buchy rink, fea-turing skip Tom Buchy, third Lori Buchy, sec-ond Dave Toffolo and lead Robyn Toffolo is headed to Qualicum Beach for the Provincial Mixed championship — an event the team has won three times before.
The other Buchy rink, skipped by Alysha Buchy and featuring third Kaila Buchy, sec-ond Haylie Farquhar and lead Arissa Toffolo,
is headed to Delta for the Provincial High School championships. And just to add a little more family, because

girls by himself — see-ing as all the other par-ents will be occupied.
“We all fly out Wednesday,” Buchy said. “The games start Thursday (today). Grant will take the girls team and we’ll try to follow what’s going on, but still focus on the task at hand for us.”
That could be diffi-cult but the older Buchy rink certainly has the ex-perience to do it.
“We’ve won it three times before. If we’re there, we’ve got a chance,” he said. “We were runner up last year, so we just need to be
one game better. Our goal is to make the play-offs and see what hap-pens.”
As for the girl’s team, Buchy says they’ve put in the hours and have a legitimate chance.
“The girls have worked extremely hard this year. They are excit-ed to go and hoping for a good week. They’ve been playing really well this year. It’s just a mat-ter of making the shots and maybe getting a lit-tle lucky here and there.”

“It’s our belief that the girls are as prepared as they could be and curling at the highest level,” said Farquhar. “There will be some new faces and unfamil-iar names in Delta, but a couple of teams we rec-ognize from junior pro-vincials as well. The competition will be good.”
Farquahar believes that as a parent it will be far more difficult to watch than to play and he says he’ll do his best to be coach, not dad.
“Parents don’t ever want to see their child fail. And traditionally parents can be harder on their own kids. You have to be cautious how you approach those conversations. Tom is so experienced we usu-ally leave that to him, but now I’m forced into it. Hopefully I can sepa-rate the dad from the coach.”
“Corporations get involved, there’s higher sponsorships, so now your top young athletes at different schools—doesn’t matter what province you pick—now all of the sudden they’re watching curl-ing, 190 hours we do, TSN does a lot of hours, too.
“So, we’ve got maybe 300 hours of curling, so now you’ve got these kids watching at home at 12 years old and you’ve got the jock of the school that used to pick hockey or some other sport—now they’re picking curling.”
The growth of inter-est in the sport is driv-ing more youth to com-petitive curling, which is evident when you look at some of the pro-fessional ranks, such as Rachel Homan and Brad Jacobs, who are both under 30 years old and have made their mark in Canadian tour-nament circuit.
“Now you see at any event, most of your ath-letes are under 30 years old in curling now, where I would say they used to be over 30 years old,” Martin said.
“That’s a big differ-ence, that’s a big change, so that’s a big reason for the growth, is
Martin says curling reaching all ages, all communities
CONTiNued from page 1
the youthfulness of the athlete drawing in cor-porate awareness, drawing in ratings, drawing in the top cali-bre young athletes around the world and our sport just growing because of that.”
The Tour Challenge, the event that Cran-brook will be hosting from Nov. 8-13, 2016, is the biggest event on Sportsnet’s Grand Slam circuit. It will feature 60 professional teams from around the world—30 mens and 30 women’s—competing in two tiers.
And, not to be repet-itive, it’s coming to Cranbrook, a small town nestled in the Rocky Mountain Trench instead of some big metropolitan area
like Vancouver, Winni-peg or Toronto.
Martin added that holding an event in smaller communities across Canada is just as important as going to the bigger centres.
“I don’t see any rea-son why we wouldn’t be in both. I’m a small town kid, a farm kid from Lougheed, Alber-ta, so I get it,” Martin said. “But the building [Western Financial Place]—curling draws crowds both in the building and on TV, the building here houses junior hockey, so why not curling?
“I think it’s import-ant that our series go to communities smaller than Cranbrook and communities bigger than Cranbrook. I don’t think there’s any need to imprint a stamp that a community has to be 322,000 or else we can’t go.
“I don’t think there’s any benefit to doing that. It’s wonderful to be in Cranbrook. It’ll go very well, you’ll see a bump in the curling and all of the sudden who benefits then? Curling does. Cran-brook does too, but the sport does, and espe-cially in youth, and that’s what matters.”

T his huge brouhaha between the FBI and Apple has escalated into a battle royale between the righteous and the wicked. And, as often happens, both sides are claiming to be on the side of the angels. With so many good guys in attendance, it’s amazing that world-wide badness is still so per-vasive. But you can’t blame television for everything.
The Feds want Apple to create specialized software in order to bypass the auto-erase feature of the San Bernardino terrorists’ iPhone. They don’t just want access to a backdoor, they want Apple to design a backdoor, con-struct it then hand them the only key. And snacks. They want snacks too.
It’s the age-old battle between security and privacy, safety and confidentiality, minty freshness and chocolaty richness. But once breached, there’s no going back. It’s a slope more slippery than a caffeinat-ed eel in a bathtub full of bacon grease. No such thing as a virgin repair kit, you know.
The FBI says they only need to do this once. Yeah, right. Federal investigators in 11 other jurisdictions have already filed motions seeking access to suspects’ iP-hone data. A Manhattan DA has 175
phones he wants to crack. Get ready to open a Pandora’s Box of 4th amendment violations, full of venomous snakes ready to spring out and bite us in the butt. Re-
peatedly.The problem is, you let
one government into your back door and every other government is going to break land-speed records to stand in line to do the same and not all of them are familiar with the con-
cept of lubricant, if you catch my drift. Be-sides, no global company, not even one located in Cupertino, California, can say yes to Obama and nyet to Putin. China? North Korea? Seriously?
The FBI says we need to trust them. Isn’t this the same FBI that vowed for years they weren’t conducting illegal surveil-lance on Americans until it was revealed they were? And the same FBI that offered flawed testimony in thousands of court cases resulting in prosecutions, some of which led to executions? You mean that FBI? I wouldn’t trust that FBI as far as I could throw two handfuls of glue.
And the fallacy of the backdoor code remaining secure is so laughable it should be green-lighted its own sitcom on Come-
dy Central. The claim that nobody else would be able to get their hands on this technology is either woefully ignorant or further demonstration of an ineptitude approaching that of a Sherman tank in the upper branches of an elm tree.
The only way to guarantee security in this, the 7th year of the 2nd decade of the 21st century, is through a self-imposed sentence of solitary confinement. The term “internet privacy” is like saying “transparent cement” or “blazing snow.” Last October a 16-year-old kid hacked CIA Director John Brennan’s personal email. Why doesn’t the FBI hire him?
Sides are being chosen. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg supports Apple while Bill Gates has come down on the side of the FBI. He would. And finally, supporting the FBI’s position, the walking contradiction known as Donald Trump called for a patri-otic boycott of Apple in a tweet. That he sent out on his iPhone. You can’t make stuff up like this.

Readers, tell us what you think and per-haps $1,000 worth of free grocery shopping will be your reward.
Yes, readers of Black Press community newspapers across the Kootenays will have a chance to win a grand’s worth of shopping at Save-On Foods, by completing an online sur-vey that will help local businesses better un-derstand local customers.
The survey — the product of a partnership between Black Press and Pulse Research, a respected B.C. research company — looks at the shopping plans and priorities of our read-ers, and their media reading habits.
By answering the survey questions, readers will help gauge the current consumer climate to help businesses adapt and craft new ways to
serve clients and customers.Responses will be kept completely confi-
dential, and reader contact information will only be used to enter readers’ names into a prize draw for one of five $1,000 Save-On gift cards to be given away across the Kootenays.
The survey is online only — no phone calls — and will take 35 to 40 minutes to complete.
“We are excited to bring this survey to the East Kootenay,” says Townsman and Bulletin publisher Karen Johnston. “Our local busi-nesses will benefit from the information and be provided insight on how our readers will be looking to spend their hard earned money in the coming year.”
The Pulse Research survey has already been a successful tool for businesses. For one
example, one client took the results of the re-search to the bank and on the strength of the data was able to secure a loan to expand the business.
The benefits of the study include showing potential areas for growth or expansion.
Pulse Research was founded in 1985 to provide publishing clients with research-based advertising sales and marketing programs designed to get results. They are able to deliver insight to businesses who are currently faced with an ever-changing mix of products and services, including web, niche, special sections and deals.

Letters to the editorPolicy reversal
In the Budget recently presented to the BC legislature, Finance Minister de Jong announced that those receiving disability assis-tance in B.C. will, as of Sept. 1, receive an increase of $77 per month. This was a modest, but welcome, bit of news for the 100,000 people receiving disability assistance which have been frozen at $906 a month since 2007.
But before we start congratulating the government for its lar-gesse, it is important for the public to know that the increase will be partially cancelled for about 55,000 people who now receive free monthly transit passes. The government will soon stop paying for those passes, resulting in an additional cost to the disabled of $52.00 per month.
To date the government has felt that transportation subsidies were necessary to ensure easy access to public transit systems in our large urban centres, since for most people with disabilities these systems are their only method of mobility.
A reversal in this policy of transportation subsidy means that the current increase in disability benefits lauded by the govern-ment as generous and long overdue, becomes a mean-spirited claw-back of an essential service and results in a very modest in-crease in the disability pension of only $25.00 a month.

Medical premiums can backfire
Re: Time to take MSP off life support (B.C. Views, Feb. 24).I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on MSP premiums and it
brought back to mind some research I conducted when I was at Decima Research in the late ‘80s.
As is true today, there was concern among some that people were over-using medical care, in part because they did not under-
stand its cost. We tested views about costs of the system and looked in particular at differences between provinces that charged premi-ums and those that did not.
The results were surprising. We found that a significant minori-ty of respondents in provinces that had premiums believed that their premiums covered the entire cost of the health system. Far from making them more cautious about accessing the system, many of those premium-paying respondents thought “I’m paying for it, so why shouldn’t I go to the hospital/clinic whenever I want.”
As is the case today, proponents of premiums argued that it would make people more sensitive to the costs of the services they used; the converse turned out to be true.
The only serious attempt to let people know about medical costs directly was Alberta’s disastrous (and never repeated) exper-iment in informing households about all the medical services consumed by the household in the previous year.

taxpayer trumpetAfter reading the news out of City Hall, Kimberley taxpayers
really need to play the taxpaying trumpet loud and clear.Our super Civic Centre has gone over a half century with a tem-
porary north wall. That has to be a Canadian record for temporary walls. Now they want to charge families and children for use of our playing fields. Finally our mayor comments on paving Gerry So-rensen Way and how citizens know their taxes and being well spent. All one has to do is take a ten minute drive around city streets and notice the condition of our streets. Example, being the drive from down town to Lois Creek.
Yup, it is time to serenade the loca government with the Taxpay-er’s trump-et!

1907Absent mayor … James Finlay, mayor of
Cranbrook, returned last week from his visit to Spokane, where he went to attend a meeting of the directors of the Sullivan Min-ing Company. One feature of the meeting that will be of interest to the people of this district, was the appointment of Mayor Fin-lay as superintendent of the mine, to suc-ceed Robert Anderson. Mr. Finlay was the choice of the Senator Turner and Van Dyke interests. He went to the Sullivan today and will at once assume charge of the mine. There are about thirty-five men working at the mine now, but Mr. Finlay told the Her-ald that the number would be increased to fifty in a short time. Mayor Finlay also as-
sured the Herald that he had no intention of resigning the office of Mayor of Cranbrook, but that he would be in town, twice a month to attend the meetings of the council.
Land notice … I hereby give notice that sixty days after date I intend to apply to the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works for permission to purchase an island in the Kootenay River, the southern part being opposite the N. W. corner of the Indian Re-serve on Bummer’s Flat, thence up the river for about half a mile, containing (10) ten acres, more or less. Geo. Geary. Dated 12th Feb. 1907
Get together … This is going to be a good year for the business men of Cranbrook to take a keen interest in important public meetings. Do not leave it for a few to look after when anything comes up that is of in-terest to Cranbrook. Every business man can spare an hour once in a while for the benefit of the town. Work together. In union there is a big pull.
Want changes … The women of Victoria want the bars taken down and the Chi-namen permitted to come into the province at will. Fortunately for the interests of the laboring men of British Columbia the Liber-al government of the Dominion placed the head tax of $500 on the Chinaman and they will keep it there.
New sanitarium … Dr. Fagan has been working for five years to stir up the people of this province to the necessity of a sanitari-um for tuberculosis, and at last he is doing to realize his dreams. The Dominion gov-ernment has granted the society 400 acres of land in the Kamloops district and the work of preparing a refuge for the victims of the white plague will begin at once. The people of British Columbia should do all in their power to aid Dr. Fagan in this work, for it will be the means of saving thousands of lives.

Battle as they might, the black-and-blue Koo-tenay Ice simply dug a hole too deep and too early Wednesday night.
Falling behind the Regina Pats by a 4-1 margin before the five-minute mark of the second period, the Ice scraped back into the af-fair but ultimately came up short in a 5-3 loss at the Brandt Centre Wednesday night.
“I liked our resolve under tough circum-stance,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, over the phone from Regina following Wednesday’s loss. “I thought we played okay, even when we were down.
“To go down 4-1, it
would’ve been pretty easy for our group to shut ‘er down with the bodies we were missing.
“We stuck with the plan, even early on… Five-on-five, I thought we played well for the large part. The game plan starts to pay off for you in the second [peri-od] and in the third, you’re running on fumes a little bit.”
Already without the services of defenceman Troy Murray (neck/throat) and forwards Roman Dymacek (lower body), Austin Gray (ill-ness) and Dylan Stewart (concussion), the Koo-tenay bench boss was dealt another blow Tuesday evening as cen-tre Matt Alfaro (undis-closed) was knocked out of action during a 3-0 loss at Medicine Hat.
Playing the second game in two nights and to make matters worse, sophomore winger Aus-tin Wellsby (undis-closed) was lost in the first period of play Wednesday at Regina, leaving Pierce with only 10 healthy forwards at his disposal, two of which were affiliates Eli Lieffers and Reed Mori-son.
“It’s deja vu a little bit, kind of like what we dealt with in September,” Pierce said of the mount-ing injury situation. “I think we’re more mature at handling it now than we were then. We’ll try to survive it here for the rest of the trip.”
Morison was recalled in advance of the road trip and made his Ice debut Tuesday, while Lieffers joined the club
Wednesday in Regina. As for Alfaro and
Wellsby, Pierce does not expect either to return to the lineup before the conclusion of his team’s four-game road trip, which still has stops in Prince Albert (Friday) and Saskatoon (Satur-day).
Facing a depleted Ice lineup Wednesday, Aus-tin Wagner scored short-handed and Cole San-ford used the man ad-vantage to tally his first of three on the night and give the hosts a 2-0 lead before the midpoint of the first period.
Ice veteran Zak Zbo-rosky, a native of Regina, scored on home ice to pull his club back within one before Sanford made it 3-1 heading into the first intermission.
After Lane Zablocki
extended the hosts lead to 4-1 only 4:09 into the second period, it looked as though the visitors might be in for a long night.
Called in to help out, the affiliates did exactly that in the second peri-od.
Lieffers registered his first-career WHL goal only 28 seconds after Zablocki had made it 4-1. The 6-foot-1 native of Saskatoon used his long reach to wrap the puck around from be-hind the net of Pats goaltender Tyler Brown and after taking a cou-ple fortuitous bounces, the biscuit trickled across the goal line to make it 4-2.
There was some de-liberation on the play and debate as to who got the final touch, but as of print deadline, the goal belonged to Lieffers.
“Eli looked real good
right from the get-go,” Pierce said. “With this being his second time up with us, the nerves were not quite as bad. He was effective.”
Midway through the second period, Morison scored his first-career WHL goal to duplicate the effort by Lieffers.
Driving the net, the 6-foot-3 native of Cal-gary redirected a Cale Fleury point shot to pull the visitors within one goal heading into the final 20 minutes of play.
“[Morison’s] pres-ence was much more noticeable [Wednesday than Tuesday],” Pierce said.
“Both pretty simple goals, but very effective. We’re going to need those guys for the rest of this trip obviously with the numbers we’re missing.”
Unfortunately for the Ice, that’s as close as they
got Wednesday night as the Pats closed things out in the third period.
Sanford completed his hat-trick perfor-mance by depositing one last puck into the empty net with only 41 seconds remaining in regulation.
Wyatt Hoflin made 41 saves in a losing cause, while Brown turned aside 29 pucks to collect his 19th victory of the season.
The win further so-lidified a wildcard posi-tion for the Pats (31-26-3-4), who now sit eight points ahead of the Ed-monton Oil Kings (27-30-6-1) for the top wild-card in the WHL’s East-ern Conference.
The Ice fall to 10-48-6-0 on the season with the defeat. After taking Thursday off, the team heads to Prince Albert to face the Raiders (34-21-7-1) Friday night.

Taylor rocc aEric Buckley was a big
winner at the 2016 Kim-berley Dynamiters Awards Banquet as the local KIJHL club hon-oured its best and bright-est stars Feb. 21 at the Kimberley Conference & Athlete Training Centre.
Buckley, a 20-year-old native of Penticton, received three awards, including being recog-nized as the team’s lead-ing scorer after putting forth 24 goals and 70 points in his final year of junior hockey.
Goaltender Tyson Brouwer was named the team’s Most Valuable Player after going 31-6-0 with a 1.96 goals-against average, .929 save per-centage and eight shut-outs.
Buckley, the 5-foot-9, 165-pound forward who is bound for the Univer-sity of Jamestown this coming fall, was voted Most Popular Player, as chosen by Kimberley
Dynamiters fans. Finally, the Century
Award was bestowed on Buckley, alongside teammates Keenan Haase, Jordan Busch, Jason Richter and Jared Marchi.
The Century Award was previously present-ed to players reaching the 100-point plateau in a season, but with the KIJHL playing a 52-game schedule, the days of 100-point campaigns are long gone. As a re-sult, the Century Award was repurposed for those collecting 100 points over the course of their Dynamiter careers.
Over 184 career regu-lar season games, Buck-ley collected 181 points. Haase (106 points in 95 games), Busch (127 points in 146 games), Richter (201 points in 179 games) and Marchi (214 points in 228 games) were also recog-nized for surpassing 100 career points.

PERSONAL FLUSHABLE WIPES – A SEWER SYSTEM NO-NO.
They’re billed as a fresh, clean alternative to toilet paper — but waste-water utilities across Canada including here in Cranbrook say personal wipes are creating sewage clogs.
Consumer Reports tested several brands of wipes labelled � ushable and found that while toilet paper broke down after about eight seconds, the wipes showed no sign of disintegrating after 30 minutes in a toilet-� ushing simulator.
Residents may consider it an out-of-sight, out-of-mind situation. People expect to � ush things down the toilet and then don’t want to think about it anymore. While those personal wipes may swirl down the toilet with ease, experts say they don’t disintegrate, creating serious problems as they work their way through aging sewage systems on their way to treatment plants.
If you do use these personal wipes, simply throw them in your household garbage and don’t � ush them. Please don’t contribute to a growing problem.
DO YOU HAVE SEWER BACK UP INSURANCE?
Please check your Homeowner’s Insurance Policy. If you do not have sewer backup insurance you should contact your broker and arrange to have it included in your policy. The City of Cranbrook does its best to maintain the sewer systems, but has little control over what foreign objects may be deposited in them causing blockage. The City will not accept any claim for back up of sewers. Claims of an accidental or unforeseen nature should be processed through your Homeowner’s insurance.

From left to right: Finland’s Minja Lehikoinen, Sweden’s Veronica Edebo and Canada’s Zoe Chore com-pete during the Ladies Ski Cross heats at the Hafjell Freepark during the Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway, Feb. 15.
For The Townsman
Cranbrook’s Zoe Chore was one of 1,100 young athletes to com-pete in the 2016 Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in Lillehammer, Nor-way, this past February.
The Youth Olympic Games (YOG) are sport-ing events for youth, aged 15 to 18, where sport meets culture and education including learning about Olympic values. Athletes from 70 nations competed in the Games, including 54 from Canada. It the first time young athletes ap-pear on the world stage. Thousands of spectators came to see the up-and-coming athletes. The press, including the YOG youth reporters, covered all events.
When athletes were not competing, they at-tended workshops fo-cusing on Olympianism, skill development, well-being, social life-style and a healthy life-style among other topics. By collaborating with each other in the work-
shops they also learned about cross-border cul-tures, languages and sport disciplines.
“I met so many new friends I know I will see again,” Chore said. “I felt so proud to be from Can-ada and from the Koote-nays. Most of the people didn’t know where that was but I think they will all know about skiing in Kimberley now.”
The specially-de-signed course was set up on natural terrain with artificial features includ-ing turns, roller sections, jumps and banked turns.
After the gates dropped, four competi-tors raced through gates and features. Racers must not only master terrain and features but be confident racing shoulder to shoulder with other racers fighting for the same line.
The ski cross event consists of qualification and finals (group heats, semifinals, the small final and the big final).
In the qualification phase, competitors take a timed run, and the top
16 ranked competitors go through to the finals. At this event they raced in a round robin format compared to the tradi-tional elimination for-mat. Competitors are divided into group heats of four competitors. All competitors eventually compete against each other and based upon the ranking of each heat are awarded points.
After the group heats, the top eight ranked competitors advance to the semifinals. The top two ranked competitors from each semifinal ad-vance to the big final, while the remaining competitors move to the small final.
The Team Ski-Snow-board Cross (two women, two men, two skiers, two boarders) consists of finals only. The quarter-finals, semi-finals, big final and small final are di-vided into heats of up to four teams. The top two teams from each race advance to the next phase.
Chore, who hasn’t
looked back since her friend India Sherret in-troduced her to the sport two years ago, participat-ed in both events. She was third in the Ladies’
Ski Cross timed trials and first in four out of the five group heats. In the semifinals two girls drafting passed her, which dropped Chore
from the semifinals. Chore finished second in the small final, ranking her sixth for the event.
In the team event, Chore’s team — featur-
ing one Spanish racer and three Canadians — placed fourth.

“I wanted to win and knew I could but it wasn’t my day,” Chore said. “It has been hard to look back but each time I do it pushes me harder. I like being on the podium. It takes hard work, focus and dedi-cation and that’s where I want to go.”
Lillehammer 2016 YOG was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Chore and a totally new level of com-petition for her.
“When I first got to the hill, it was a bit intimidat-ing,” Chore said. “I have never seen or raced against this group of girls before. It was hard to judge where I lie in the field. Most of the other girls, despite where they come from, train in Europe all winter. I realized how much I value coming from Cranbrook where I have been able to be involved in other sports like soccer, rowing and track and where my home hill, Kimberley, is always welcoming.”
Chore wished to thank the 3,000 volunteers, the people of Lillehammer, her Canadian support crew from Alpine Canada, fellow team mates, her coach-es (past and present), and all the people who have supported her back home.

TORONTO - Pitts-burgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby head-lines the first 16 players Canada unveiled for its World Cup of Hockey roster.
Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews was also named among the Canadian forwards.
Joining Crosby and Toews up front are Jamie Benn (Dallas), Patrice Bergeron (Boston), Jeff Carter (Los Angeles),
Ryan Getzlaf (Ana-heim), Tyler Seguin (Dallas), Steven Stam-kos (Tampa Bay) and John Tavares (New York Islanders).
Nashville Predators star Shea Weber and Drew Doughty of the
Los Angeles Kings an-chor the defence corps that also includes Dun-can Keith (Chicago) and Marc-Edouard Vlasic (San Jose).
All four defencemen played at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, where Cana-
da won its second con-secutive gold medal.
Injured Montreal star Carey Price was among three goalies named to the squad, joining Bra-den Holtby of the Wash-ington Capitals and Chi-cago’s Corey Crawford.
Canada unveils 16 players for World Cup of Hockey roster
JonAS SiegelCanadian Press
TORONTO - Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel headlined the first group of players named to the North American entry at the upcoming World Cup.
Restricted to those 23 or younger - born on or
after Oct. 1, 1992 - the roster also includes Col-orado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon, Florida Panthers de-fender Aaron Ekblad as well as Calgary Flames duo Johhny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan.
MacKinnon and Ek-blad were the last two winners of the Calder
Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie.
Seven Canadians made the initial group, joined by nine players from the United States.
A fellow Calder Tro-phy challenger to Mc-David and Eichel this season, Detroit Red Wings rookie Dylan Lar-kin also made the North
American roster as did the Flyers Sean Couturi-er, J.T. Miller of the Rang-ers and Brandon Saad from Columbus.
Saad will be joined by teammates Seth Jones and Ryan Murray. Morgan Rielly, the Maple Leafs 21-year-old defenceman, was also named to the roster.
The squad’s goalie stable will be full of Americans with Ducks goaltender John Gibson standing as the likely No. 1, complemented by Jets goalie Connor Hel-lebuyck and Penguins prospect Matt Murray.
Edmonton’s Todd McLellan will coach the team.

C APT. LORI-LEE BOT TOn February 16, we
honoured two people at 552 Key City Royal Ca-nadian Air Cadet Squadron.
WO2 Dylan von Witt-genstein joined our cadet squadron in the spring of 2009, shortly after we earned our Charter, and he has just “aged out” of the squad-ron. “Aged Out” is a term we use for cadets that stay in the program until just before they reach their 19th birth-day, at that time – they can no longer be a cadet.
This young man was fortunate to attend training courses every summer, this past year he attended as a Staff Cadet. After four years of cadet service, he earned the Long Service Medal from the Air Cadet League of Cana-
da. He also received two “bars & rosette’s”, for the 5th & 6th year of service. It is always sad to say good-bye, but we are proud of Dylan and his personal accomplish-ments! We wish him well in his future en-deavors.
Major Gregr, Review-ing Officer for the eve-ning, was also attending his final parade. He too has reached the ‘golden age’ and has to retire. Major Gregr, has a long history with the military and cadet services. He has been assisting and guiding our squadron over the last few years.
This night was also filled with presentations of Fitness Badges and a few promotions. FSgt Bue earned her Service Medal and WO2 Palmer earned her first Bar & Rosette. Keith Kepke,
British Columbia Pro-vincial Committee, Koo-tenay Wing presented
the Long Service Medal, Bars & Rosettes.
The air cadet pro-gram fosters the devel-opment in youth of the values of self confi-dence, discipline, lead-ership, citizenship and physical fitness. Any
one between the ages of 12 – 18, are able to join the cadet program. We offer training in avia-tion, survival & naviga-tion skills, effective speaking, rocketry, citi-zenship, marksman-ship, and precision drill.
Our program includes field training exercises, museum field trips and the opportunity to take flight in a Glider and Cessna. Summer train-ing courses, (2, 3, & 6 weeks long) offer travel and a training bonus.
For more informa-tion on the air cadet program, email t r a i n i n g d e s k 5 5 2 @gmail.com ; 250-426-3685 or visit us #308-10th Avenue South, (2nd floor) Tuesday 6 – 9 pm, weekly.

Spring Break 2016 Public Skate/Swim
Be a part of the action at Western Financial Place during your spring break, with some
skating… or a swim… or both!
Tuesdays to Thursdays - during Spring Break: March 15 – 17 and 22 – 24
Come down to Western Financial Place for some Public Skating, from 1:30 to 3:00pm
Special event rates are in effect for Public Skating.
Take a dip in the pool during the Public Swim, from 1 to 4 pm
Standard rates apply for public swim.
For more info, call the Skate & Swim Hotline at 250 426-5050 or visit www.western� nancialplace.ca
OR
Get out and walkFor nice days, getting outside can be a great adventure. Take a nature walk through your neighborhood and have the kids make
note of all the animals and animal prints they see. Or see how many different trees you can find.
Do a fantasy redecoratingAre your kids bored of their rooms? Pick up a sheet of poster board for each kid and hand them catalogs and magazines to
leaf through. Have them create a storyboard of what their ideal bedroom would look like with photos. Who knows? You might even
like what they come up with.
VolunteerSoup kitchens, nursing homes and other organizations are always looking for help. See if they might need a few good kids to help out over spring break. The experience will be good for your kids
-- and help the community too.
Hit the libraryAll year long, kids have to read school-assigned books. Over
spring break, let them read whatever they want. Take them to the library and let them choose a book or books to entertain them
while they are off from school.
Check the rec centerSome towns have special spring break camps for kids. See if yours does and consider signing your kids up. Who knows, they might be

ANASTASIA BARTLET T
W hen my boys were young, the popular
gift to give was a Lego set. This was in the days when legos were grow-ing beyond just bricks and were including all sorts of extra bits; people with heads and hands that could pull off, swords and guns and stuff. When helping the boys clean up, I would gather the bits attempt-ing to keep all parts to-gether which resulted in turning the playroom
upside down until I found that tiny sword. I was obsessive about finding the missing part and was extremely satis-fied when I achieved success.
When the Pharisees accused Jesus of con-sorting with sinners, He told several similar sto-ries in Luke 15. There was the story of the woman who searched her house seeking for one lost coin out of ten and the shepherd who left the 99 sheep to find the one lost sheep. Both
of them had a party when they found what was lost. Now I didn’t throw a party when I found the lego sword, but I can definitely re-late. Apparently, so can God.
Jesus said there would be more rejoicing in heaven over one sin-ner who repents than over 99 righteous who do not need to repent. My first response is to think ‘that’s not fair, shouldn’t there be con-stant rejoicing over the 99 who don’t need to
repent?’ But then I real-ized, I had already found all the other lego bits, they were safe and sound, all my effort was spent searching for the tiny sword. It’s a good thing, I am not God.
Jesus told a third story along the same lines. This one is about two brothers; the dili-gent, hard-working elder brother and the scofflaw, shirking younger brother who only wanted some fun in life. The younger brother talks his father
into giving him his in-heritance early, not so he can invest it in some business venture, but so he can spend it immedi-ately and have a good time while he was still young. As the story goes, he left the farm, blew through the money in no time and ended up on the streets sharing scraps with the animals. He’d been brought to the place of repentance. He had no place to go. He knew his father’s ser-vants were treated well, so figured if he apolo-
gized his father would at least hire him as a work-er.
But his father hadn’t written him off and had every day anxiously watched the road for any sign of his youngest son’s return. One day he was rewarded and was so thankful his son had returned alive and rea-sonably well, he threw a party for everyone in the neighbourhood to cele-brate his joy.
When the eldest re-turned from work that night and found out what was going on, he felt no joy, only resent-ment. He considered the celebration to be a slap in his face thinking his father loved his younger brother more than him. He ques-tioned, ‘How come you’ve never had a party for me, and I’ve been obeying you all these years. How come you are rewarding him for losing all your money and causing you terrible pain? I’ve never done those things and you’ve never treated me spe-cial’.
The eldest son didn’t realize the place he had in his father’s heart and in his house. He shared
in his father’s wealth and inheritance, he was equal to his father in sta-tus and respectability.
I heard this story as a child and as someone who lived in a forgiving home, I could relate to the younger son to a certain extent; not to the depth of his flagrancy, but I never gave much thought to the elder brother. Now I do ... be-cause he is me.
For now, I am safely in the sheep pen, in the widow’s purse, in the Lego bucket. God is searching for the lost ones and needs me to help. I pray to refrain from judging others and considering myself to be less of a sinner than they. I pray I will wel-come my brothers and sisters home with love and joy and celebration as they re-enter the fam-ily of God. With repen-tance and with God’s help, I can.
Anastasia Bartlett is a member of St. Aidan’s Orthodox Church in Cranbrook and still has all the lego bits. Pastor of St. Aidan’s, Father An-drew Applegate, can be reached at 250-420-1582.

Not an ouch! … A pe-culiar accident occurred near Jaffray on Monday. A passenger train round-ing a curve ran down a man and tossed him into a snowbank. The train was brought to a halt as quickly as possi-ble and the train crew went back to pick up the remains, when they found their supposed victim busy gathering up his parcels and entirely unhurt.
To the great beyond … The ministering “Angel of Death,” which holds the key to the great unknown, visited the home of the late Mr. Frank Anderson early Saturday morning last, when the last spark of a manly man was carried from this earth to the great unknown world beyond.
Caught in the act … Last Sunday a Chinese laundryman thought that he would celebrate the departure of his New Year’s by a burst of en-thusiasm, and about six o ’clock he turned loose about fifty bunches of fire crackers. The next afternoon he was hauled In front of the magistrate and paid a fine of $5 and costs. In the future he will observe the laws and the customs of the land in which he lives. A white man would be pulled mighty quick for such a violation of the law, and there is no rea-son that a Chinaman should be exempt.
New ambulance … The new ambulance for the St. Eugene hospital arrived this week and will be placed in com-mission as soon as pos-sible. This will prove a great boon for suffering humanity, and the peo-ple of this section of the country owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. King, who was the originator of the idea, and to the liberal hearted contribu-tors who came forward so willingly with the money to pay for the
same. At this juncture it might be well to say that in the list that has been published in the Herald there was a generous contribution from the people of Creston, who realized the benefits to be derived from such an addition to the hospital equipment and a large sum was raised in that town for this purpose.
I quit … James Ken-nedy, city teamster, has handed in his resigna-tion to the city clerk. Mr. Kennedy thinks that $63 a month is poor pay for the work in a country like this. It is hard to get a good man for such a po-sition and the council would make no mistake in paying a salary that would insure competent service.
Price increase … All of the hotels have raised the price of board on ac-count of the increase in the price of supplies. Five dollar meal tickets have been raised to $6 and $6 meal tickets have been raised to $7. The hotel keepers have held off on this matter for months in hopes that it would not be necessary, but the game was a los-ing one, and the increase had to be made as a matter of self-protec-tion.
At the Wilga … Mrs. Elizabeth Byrnes, of New York, has taken over the Wilga and al-ready is making a great improvement in the house. Mrs. Byrnes has had the place renovated from cellar to garret, in-stalled new furniture and is paying special at-tention to the table. So successful have been her efforts that already there has arisen a great demand for rooms and board, as there are many people who are looking for just such a place to live. Mrs. Byrnes be-lieves in looking after the comforts of her guests and as a result those who are fortunate enough to secure quar-
ters at the Wilga are con-gratulating themselves.
New lodge … A Re-bekah lodge with a membership of more than forty members was instituted yesterday by Grand Master Simpson of the I. O. O. F. grand lodge. The ceremony was held in Fraternity hall and in the afternoon a limited number were taken in after the lodge was instituted, in the
evening about 35 appli-cations were acted upon favorably, and the offi-cers elect were duly in-stalled. There were a number of speeches and at the close of the work the ladies provided a bountiful spread which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone present.
Free ride … Consta-bles Ward and Walsh and Joseph Ryan took to men to the nut college at
New Westminster this week.
First automobile in area … N. Hanson, of Wasa, made his last trip by stage to Cranbrook Thursday. He will soon have his Rambler in shape and hopes to be
able to run in about the first of March.
Leave quickly … There are a few tin horn sports hanging around town that should be given an opportunity to get acquainted with the idea of labor. Cranbrook
It happened this week in CranbrookContinued from page 7 has no use for this brand
of people, and the quick-er the police get after them the better it will be for all concerned.
Good report … The February report of the Cranbrook Public Schools is of more than ordinary interest to par-ents as well as the pu-pils. It shows that during the most stormy and se-vere weather of winter there was a large atten-dance, that the pupils are progressing in their studies, also keeping up a very creditable daily attendance.
New building … The new Provincial and Mu-nicipal building will now be completed with all possible dispatch con-sistent with good work. The bondsmen of the contractors having noti-fied the architect in charge, and the Board of Works that they will complete the contract of Messrs. Kerr & Camp-bell. It is understood that Mr. Campbell will have charge of the work.

1 The 2016 provincial budget provides an increase of $170 million over three years for the 100,000 British Columbians who live with disabilities. All British Columbians on PWD will receive the equivalent of $77/month more.
Those who were previously receiving a free transit pass, now can choose whether to buy that pass for $52 with their $77, depending on their location and monthly needs. All
those people receiving a bus pass before the change paid a $45 annual administration fee and that annual fee will continue to be collected.
These changes were made (1) to increase benefi ts to people on PWD and (2) because 45,000 British Columbians were not receiving any subsidy for
transportation. All British Columbians on PWD will receive more than before, regardless of transportation passes.

Naltrexone is a drug that is typically used at high doses to counteract the effects of an overdose of opiates as it binds to the opioid receptors, however at low doses it can be used to in� uence these same receptors to get the body to increase the production of beta-endorphins and met-enkephalins. These endorphins and metenkephalins reduce in� ammation and pain and have the ability to modulate the immune system in autoimmune conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, � bromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome as well as cancer. Considering that 70-80% of the immune system is located in the gastrointestinal tract and that Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) both typically have autoimmune involvement, low dose naltrexone (LDN) has been shown to be clinically useful in the reduction of symptoms and progression of both conditions.
A small study done on Crohn’s and LDN in 2011 showed symptomatic improvement in 88% of patients using LDN versus placebo and 78% of those using LDN showed signi� cant healing of the intestinal lining on endoscopic examination.
LDN is usually well tolerated, but the side effects that may occur include vivid dreams and stomach upset, both of which commonly resolve within one week of taking the LDN. If the dreams continue and it is causing a disturbance in sleep then LDN can be taken in the morning instead. LDN does interact with opiate pain killers as it reduces their effects and should not be taken together. Otherwise, LDN has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of Crohn’s, UC and other conditions involving immune dysfunction. For more information on LDN and its uses please contact us at any time.

Christians in more than 170 countries and in 2,000 communities across Canada will gath-er to learn about, pray for, and celebrate Cuba in solidarity with the women of Cuba through the World Day of Prayer. Please join us and invite your friends and family to attend the World Day of Prayer 2016.
National Flower of Cuba is the white but-terfly jasmine. Cuban women have used the flower not only as an adornment for their
hair, but also to transmit messages during libera-tion wars, and as a sign of their being Cuban. There can be no better emblem for the 2016 World Day of Prayer ser-vice written by the World Day of Prayer committee of Cuba. The service transmits their witness and experience of being Cuban and Christian, even when their faith meant isola-tion within the country they love.
With the triumph of the Revolution, a trade embargo by the United States brought Cuba
economic isolation and material scarcity. Within Cuba a similar isolation formed around people of faith in the officially atheist state. Now the embargo is lifting, but uncertainty remains for the Cuban people. What can these women tell the rest of the world about how faith endures in a secular world, of material and social challenges, and of hope?
A local World Day of Prayer service will be held at: Mt Zion Luther-an Church, 920 – 11th St S, Cranbrook, Friday, March 4, at 1:30 pm

Protesters gathered at the B.C. legislature Wednesday to call for an additional increase in provincial disability as-sistance payments, which are due to go up this year for the first time since 2007.
The increase of $77 a month is to take effect Sept. 1, for disability as-sistance that now pays $906 a month for a sin-gle person. But the pro-gram is to begin deduct-ing $52 a month for transit passes available to people who are able to use them, and that
has sparked protests.Social Development
Minister Michelle Stil-well faced an angry op-position in the legisla-ture after the rally, and again refused to reverse the decision to charge for bus passes. Stilwell said 45,000 people on disability assistance could not use a bus pass, and the change makes the rate fair for everyone.
Faith Bodnar, execu-tive director of the advo-cacy organization Inclu-sion BC, told the rally her online petition op-posing the change grew
quickly to 100,000 peo-ple. She argued that bus pass or not, disability assistance rates remain too low.
“Government, all you did was equalize the poverty for people with disabilities in B.C.” Bod-nar said.
Stilwell said the rate increase will cost $170 million over the next three years, and adding the bus pass funding to that would cost another $20 million. She and Fi-nance Minister Mike de Jong have insisted they will not retain a system that helps some people
more than others.De Jong said the gov-
ernment is aware of some people taking the free bus passes available to disabled people and selling them on the street for whatever cash they can get. Those peo-ple will have the option
of taking the entire $77 a month increase instead.
A single employable person without a dis-ability receives $610 a month in income assis-tance, and that amount is not increased in the B.C. budget presented in February.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Take charge of a situation. Your intuition will lead you down the right path. You might not have been aware of how much others expect from you until today. Be sure to go for what you want before you try to meet everyone else’s expectations. Tonight: A must appearance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your sense of direction emerges in a conversation with a friend. You might not notice the tension that has evolved between you. You will need to take certain actions in order to get both of you to chill out. Decide if you are willing to cater to this person. Tonight: Where the action is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A partner becomes far more in touch with the changes needed to have a key situation work out. A new friend might be more than willing to help you achieve a long-term goal. You could be more sensitive to a higher-up than you realize. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance whom you trust; this person often gives you strong feedback. A partner could be challenging, as he or she feels his or her advice is even better. There could be quite a rebellion if you are not careful. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be more in touch with your desires. A partner seems to be receptive to your wishes. Let this person express his or her ideas. Help a loved one realize what he or she wants, too. The more everyone understands expecta-tions, the clearer the situation will be. Tonight: Count on a friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to understand what is happening within a spe-cial friendship. Allow your cre-ativity to flourish. A new friend might be delighted by your ideas, and will let you know. A close associate is likely to give you strong feedback. Tonight: Let your hair down. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your efforts toward a personal change need to be supported by a family member. You could be wondering what would be best for the whole as well as for you. A discussion with loved ones will open up feelings and allow more give-and-take. Tonight: Head home early. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Rest assured that you will need to reach out to others in order to get a situation moving. They might not be aware of what is going on, or even need you to instigate the process. Make an effort toward a potential sweet-ie if you are single. Tonight: Let it all hang out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be uncomfortable with what is being offered or re-quired financially. You likely had a different figure in your mind. You can bypass a problem as long as you remain creative and open-minded. Others will put in their two cents as well. Tonight: You have the ultimate say. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Tap into your imagination when sharing with others. Your per-
sonality will melt a restriction or a coldness from someone in your day-to-day environment. Understand that this is a de-fense tactic. Confusion weaves through some interactions. To-night: Others respond to you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Keep your own counsel. You might not be sure about what you want or what you need from someone. Until you are clear on this, don’t share what is on your mind. You could add an element of deception or uncertainty by speaking too quickly. Tonight: Follow your instincts. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your imagination adds a won-derful element to your inter-actions. Be aware of what you want when conversations start going to other topics. Lasso in a wandering conversation quickly. A group of friends could be plan-ning a fun get-together. Tonight: Start the weekend early. BORN TODAY Radio personality Ira Glass (1959), actress Julie Bowen (1970), actress Jean Harlow (1911)
Dear Annie: I am a very loving mother of two adult daughters. “Jane” has a child with her ex and another with her current husband. “Cindy” is married with one child and one on the way. At first, things with Jane were great. We helped them furnish their house with all new appliances, and also helped financially when they asked. Three years ago, we had a falling out and now Jane doesn’t call, text, email, nothing. When we see each other in public, she is civil, but otherwise, treats me as if as if I were dead. We are not allowed to see our grandchildren, although our ex-son-in-law allows us to see the one grandchild when he has visitation. Cindy, who also receives financial help when she asks, lets me see my grandchild only once a month for four hours. She sometimes allows me to Skype, but no more than once a week, if I’m lucky. When she had a miscarriage a few years ago, I tried my very best to console her, but she wouldn’t let me near her for two weeks. Others were allowed to be there, but not her own mother. She won’t let me talk to her about her current pregnancy. I want to be a part of their lives, but we can’t get past this silence. I have offered to pay for counseling, but they refuse. I have asked, begged and pleaded for one-on-one time, to no avail. What hurts the most is that I don’t even know why they are angry with me. Any advice would be so gratefully appreciated. -- A Loving, Crushed Mother Dear Mother: Your daughters may not be angry. They may be trying to create some space between your life and theirs, and don’t know how to do it in a more loving fashion. Or their husbands may have objected to your presence. And if your daughters are close, they may be feeding on each other’s grievances. It will do you no good to keep pounding at this. Back off. You also can stop loaning them money if you choose. You don’t owe it to them and it obviously doesn’t influence their level of affection. Enjoy the time you do get to spend with the grandchildren, and fill your hours with other activities that bring you pleasure. Counseling for yourself may help you accept this, and we hope your daughters will come to appreciate you again soon. Dear Annie: You’ve printed several letters from parents and grandparents complaining that they never receive a thank-you note. My mother-in-law was also disappointed that one of her grandsons never acknowledged the checks she sent for birthdays and Christmas. To change the situation, she sent a card mentioning the enclosed check, but she didn’t actually enclose it. The grandson promptly called to thank her, and also to say that she’d apparently forgotten to put the check in the envelope. -- J. Dear J.: Your mother-in-law sounds like a very clever woman.

Maria “Mary” Lucille Reekie
October 2, 1924 – February 22, 2016
Our dear mother Mary Reekie passed away suddenly at home at the age of 91. She was born in Flaibano, Italy. Mom lived each day to the fullest and was an inspiration to us all. She loved to travel, play bridge, golf, swim, knit, crochet, read and
generously kept us supplied with her baked goodies. She was an active volunteer in many organizations and always enjoyed time with her many special friends. Her favourite times were at family gatherings where she took particular interest in her grandchildren and great grandchildren. We will all remember her with joy, the way she would want us to.
Mary is survived by her daughters Isobel (Phil) Van Den Berg, Vicki (Leon) Bjerstedt, Nancy (Peter) Kleindienst, grandchildren Kathryn (Chris) Huston, Brian Sveinson, Shannon (Frank) Toebaert, Erik (Tara) Bjerstedt, Jon (Keri) Bjerstedt, Evan (Michelle) Kleindienst, Niki (Dallas) Walkey, her beloved great grandchildren Kyra, Noah; Madison, Aleesa; Mark, Katie; Kyle, Nicholas; Isaac, Wyatt; Hanna, Ryan; and Charlotte. Mary was predeceased by her husband Archie (1993), parents Eberardo (Tranquilla) Montegani, brother Anthony Montegani and in-laws James (Agnes) Reekie.
A funeral mass to celebrate Mary’s life will be held on Monday, March 7, 2016 at Christ The Servant Catholic Church in Cranbrook at 11:00 am at 1100 – 14th Avenue South. Donations in honour of Mary can be made to the: Canadian Cancer Society, 19 - 9th Avenue South, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 2L9.
Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at:
www.mcphersonfh.com
In loving memory
Kenneth H. SmithOctober 25, 1946 - March 3, 2011
Your life was a blessing,Your memory a treasure,
You are loved beyond words,And missed beyond measure.
Gates of memories,Will never close...
How much we miss you,No one knows...
Days have passed away,Into years...
And we’ll think about those memories,With silent tears.
Love and miss you always and forever,
Pearl; Brent, Dean, Shelley and their families.

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.
10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.
Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.

For the TownsmanCASTLEGAR, BC –
On February 27 , Air Ca-dets from the Kootenays participated in the local Air Cadet Effective Speaking competition. There were cadets from Castlegar, Grand Forks and Cranbrook.
Each Cadet gave at five minute prepared speech and a two min-ute impromptu speech.
The cadets who par-ticipated were:
• Corporal Corbin Johnson from 581 Cas-tlegar Squadron;
• Sergeant Sierra Blackwell from 522 Key City Cranbrook Squad-ron;
• Flight Corporal John Colley from 581 Castlegar Squadron;
• Flight Sergeant Cameron Hewison from 522 Key City Cranbrook Squadron;
• Air Cadet Camryn Koochin from 841 Boundary Grand |Forks Squadron.
The cadets were judged by Castlegar Deputy Fire Chief Sam Lattanzio, Deb Chmara and Sandra Hartman.
The Master of Cere-
monies was Warrant Of-ficer Second Class Naima Notarstefano from 581 Castlegar Squadron. The British Columbia Provincial Committee was repre-sented by Keith Kemp-ke, the Kootenay Wing Chair.
For their five minute prepared speech, Cpl Johnson, Sgt Blackwell and F/Cpl Colley spoke about “My First Flight”. F/Sgt Hewison spoke about “The importance of community service and citizenship” and AC Kochin spoke about “Canada’s approach to combat.”
The two minute im-promptu speech was “Three uses of pencil besides writing.”
The Gold Medal was won by Sergeant Sierra Blackwell, the Silver Medal was won by Flight Sergeant Camer-on Hewison and the Bronze Medal was won by Flight Corporal John Colley.
Sergeant Sierra Blackwell will compete for the Provincial Championship in Rich-mond in April.
The winner of each of the Provincial Cham-pionships will compete in the National Cham-pionship. This year, the National Effective Speaking completion will be in Richmond in
June. The winners from each province and terri-tory will be flown to the competition by WestJet.
This is one of the many activities that the local cadets participate in. During their Train-
ing Year the cadets also go flying in Air Cadet League owned Gliders, Flying in Powered air-craft, learn first aid, go shooting with air rifles, learn outdoor survival skills and other activi-
ties. The cadets meet one
evening per week from September to June and during the summer months they have the opportunity to attend courses up to six weeks
Kootenay Air Cadets compete in Effective Speakinglong at various loca-tions throughout Cana-da.
The Royal Canadian Air Cadets, in partner-ship with the Air Cadet League of Canada and the Department of Na-tional Defence has been training youth in Cana-da for over 70 years. The Cadets are the larg-est government funded youth program in Cana-da with over 50,000 par-ticipants across Cana-da.
The Royal Canadian Air Cadets accepts youth between the ages of 12-18 who have a de-sire to learn more about the air element of the Canadian Forces, wish to develop the attri-butes of leadership and good citizenship and who wish to promote physical fitness.
While the program is military based, there is no obligation for a cadet to join the Canadian Armed Forces when he or she finishes their cadet career. Cadets are also encouraged to learn more about op-portunities within Can-ada’s Aviation Industry.
