Wolfe Creek line reloCation ProjeCt CommenCement

BC Hydro will be making system improvements and re-locating the power line in the Wasa—Wolfe Creek area to improve reliability for customers along Wolfe Creek Road.

Work will begin March 2013 and is expected to be completed by November 2013. The project will include vegetation clearing work, followed by construction activities and the use of heavy equipment, which could result in higher than normal traffic activity in the area.

BC Hydro recognizes the inconvenience that the construction activity may cause, and will complete the work safely and efficiently as possible.

If you have any questions, or would like more information about the Wolfe Creek Line Relocation Project, please contact Michael Price, Project Manager at 778 452 6882 or Diane Tammen, Community Relations Manager at 250 489 6862.

WE’RE ON A ROLL! This issue of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman and Kimberley Daily Bulletin is literally hot off the press. After months of renovations, construction and general tinkering, our new GOSS Community Web Offset Press is officially in action, printing copies of the Townsman, Bulletin, Fernie Free Press and Creston Valley Advance, with more to follow. It replaces an aging Harris V15, which had been faithfully printing your papers for more than 35 years.

College of the Rock-ies is helping to fill a huge demand by indus-try for industrial me-chanics by offering an Industrial Mechanic/Millwright Foundation (Pre-Apprentice) pro-gram this spring.

The 24-week pro-gram will start March 4 at College of the Rock-ies’ Gold Creek campus.

Industrial mechan-ics, also known as mill-wrights, are an essential part of many industries in Canada as these skilled professionals are responsible for ensuring stationary, on-site equipment is main-tained and running effi-ciently.

College of the Rock-ies’ Trades Programs Department Head, Kim Buchan pointed out, “Millwrights install, dis-mantle, move, repair, overhaul and maintain machinery and heavy equipment. Industries rely on these well-trained individuals to ensure productivity re-mains high in their plants.

“Tradespeople with these skills can find work in a wide variety of industries, including oil and gas, forestry, min-ing, construction, man-ufacturing and process-ing. It is a comprehen-sive and highly in-de-mand trade,” Buchan continued.

Upon successful completion of the pro-gram, graduates receive credit for Level One Technical Training as well as 425 work-based training hours.

For more informa-tion on the Industrial Mechanic/Millwright program, contact Cindy Touzin at 250-489-2751 ext. 3337 or [email protected].

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

Alleged hit and run suspect

comes forwardElderly man struck by

vehicle in Townsite last Thursday

C AROLYN GR [email protected]

Kimberley RCMP are clearing up confusion around a vehicle and pe-destrian collision in Townsite on Thursday, January 31.

Cpl. Chris Newel says that an el-derly man, aged 85, was found in-jured on 4th Avenue about 10 a.m. Thursday.

Newel says the man recalled walk-ing along 4th near Rossland Street when he saw a dark vehicle coming towards him.

“He put his arms up to protect himself and the next thing he knew he was lying in the snow bank. He sustained injury (bruising) to his right forearm,” Newel said last week. “Although the male could have

slipped and fallen on the icy surface, police believe he was struck by the vehicle. The injured male has some health issues, which has prevented police from learning exactly what happened.”

A witness told police they saw a young male at the scene with a bro-ken off car mirror in his hands. An-other passerby told police two young males were helping the elderly man but left without providing details.

RCMP were looking for the sus-pect last week, but now the driver has come forward.

“The driver clipped the elderly male as he rounded the corner. The male was walking on the road and there was some visibility issues,” said Cpl. Newel.

“The driver did stop, spoke to the man and offered assistance. The pe-destrian said he was fine, so the driv-er departed.”

Kimberley RCMP thanked the driver for coming forward.

ImPaIred drIvers

Yes, the Christmas season is over, but po-lice are still on the look-out for impaired driv-ers. In January the Kim-berley RCMP issued four, 90-day Immediate Roadside Suspensions (IRP) to impaired drives. There were also several 24 and three-day suspensions for al-cohol and drugs.

One happened right in front of the officer. He observed the driver go right up onto the piled snow along the roadway. At first he thought there might be a medical condition that quickly changed when he detected an odor an alcohol. The sad part, the driver was only going 2 blocks. It would have been very easy to walk, but now there will be no driving for 90 days. Expensive ride.

Feel good

Every once in awhile

police officers attends a call that has a happy endings and makes them feel good. We are all out there to help, some may disagree, but there is a genuine desire to do the best we can. It happened early last week. I got a call at 3:30 am about a disturbance. A woman was banging on a door and the homeowner did not know her or why she was banging on his door.

Usually these types of call are alcohol relat-ed and don’t end well for somebody, this case was different.

I arrived to find the woman still there. She was 83! She was cold, disorientated and not happy. I was not able to determine where she lived, but after some questioning and queries on my computer I came up with family in Cran-brook. I took her to them and found out she

had moved to Kimber-ley two days ago and was not adjusting well. I was happy to get her into a warm house with family and out of the -10 winter night. Even though it was 4:30 am I felt good and I’d made a difference.

LocaL NEWSdaily bulletin

“Bylaw No. 2463, City of Kimberley Zoning Bylaw No. 1850, 1994, Amendment No. 115, 2013” proposes to add the following definition to section 3.04:

“PLACE OF WORSHIP means a building, structure, or part thereof, which is primarily used for the practice of religion and faith‐based spiritual purposes wherein people assemble for religious worship, faith‐based teaching, fellowship and community social outreach. Accessory uses include, but are not limited to, classrooms for religious instruction, programs for community social benefit, administrative offices related to the place of worship, and one dwelling unit.

The reason for the amendment is to define a place of worship and permitted accessory uses.

The amendment also proposes to repeal Section 7.14 (1)(j) of Bylaw No. 1850 relating to P-1 Public Institution Zone and substituting a new Section 7.14 (1)(j) as follows:

“(j) place of worship”

The reason for the amendment is to replace the permitted use ‘church’ with ‘place of worship’.

The amendment also proposes to rename Section 7.14 (3) as Section 7.14 (3)(a) and add the following section 7.14 (3)(b):

“(b) No person shall site an accessory building to a place of worship in the P-1 zone which has:

(i) A front yard less than 6.0 m (19.7 ft.);

(ii) A rear yard less than 1.5 m (5 ft.);

(iii) An interior side yard less than 1.5 m (5 ft.);

(iv) An exterior side yard less than 3 m (9.8 ft.).

The amendment also proposes to rename section 7.14 (4) as Section 7.14 (4)(a) and add the following section 7.14 (4)(b):

“(b) The maximum height of a detached building for a dwelling unit accessory to a place of worship in the P-1 zone shall be 7.62 m (25 ft.) or 85% of the height of the principal building, whichever is the lesser.

“(c) The maximum height of an accessory detached building in the P-1 zone shall be 4.5 m (15 ft.) above finished grade.

The reason for these amendments is to define siting and size and dimensions of buildings and structures accessory to a place of worship and to ensure ancillary buildings and structures remain subordinate in size to the primary structure. As many of the P-1 zoned parcels with established places of worship are adjacent to residentially zoned properties, residential setback and dimension regulations have been applied in order to promote a gradual transition between accessory structures in the P-1 zone and adjacent residential parcels.

A Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 2463 will be held on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 6:45 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 340 Spokane Street, Kimberley, BC.

If you believe that your interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw, you may:

a) submit written presentations to City Hall prior to the hearing, or

b) submit written and/or verbal presentations at the hearing.

You may inspect Bylaw No. 2463, Bylaw No. 1850 and the supporting documentation at City Hall, 340 Spokane Street, Kimberley, BC weekdays, except statutory holidays, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.

For further information, please call Planning Services at City Hall 250-427-9665.

DATED the 31st day of January, 2013

The City of Kimberley hereby gives notice that it intends to amend City of Kimberley Zoning Bylaw No. 1850, 1994.

Three cheers for Library volunteersC AROLYN GR ANT

[email protected]

For Pat Stanton and Pat Campbell the rea-sons for their longtime

volunteer work at the Kimberley Public Li-brary are simple. They love books and they love people.

The two Pats, as they are named by Li-brary Director Karin von Wittgenstein, have been giving their time

to the Library for many years — Pat S. for 10 years and Pat C. for 35.

The Kimberley Public Library is large-

ly run by volunteers.“With Friends of the

Library, Board mem-bers, book store volun-teers and volunteers that work a regular shift at the library each week, we have about 60 dedicated community minded people helping to keep this library the welcoming communi-ty hub that it is,” von

Wittgenstein said.Pat C. began volun-

teering when the Li-brary was upstairs at City Hall, and kept going through the move to its current lo-cation in 1980. She has seen plenty of changes over the years, the most welcome one being the recent reno-vations.

“The latest renova-tions are marvelous,” she said. “That upstairs is just glorious.”

The volunteers do whatever is necessary from shelving books to helping patrons.

“Typically after the weekend the book drop is very full. We’re very grateful that Pat and Pat are here every Tuesday. It takes a long time to put the books away,” von Wittgen-stein said.

It takes even longer, Pat S. admits, when something catches your eye.

“I call it shelf read-ing,” she said. “You find something you like and you sit and read a bit.”

Pat C. says that she intends to keep on vol-unteering as long as her health is good. She enjoys the social aspect of it as well, saying you get to know your fellow volunteers very well and look forward to seeing them each

week. Plus it gets you out of the house.

Pat S. has no diffi-culty getting out of the house.

“The busier the bet-ter,” she said. “I swim on Monday, Wednes-day and Friday, Tues-day is the Library, Thursday I sing and I play bridge in be-tween.”

“She hardly has time to come here,” Pat C. joked.

All kidding aside, von Wittgenstein says that she appreciates the time Pat Stanton and Pat Campbell give to the Library.

“Not only do we ap-preciate their help (hugely) we also look forward to their humor and presence each Tuesday morning.”

“We have about 60 dedicated

community minded people helping to

keep this library the welcoming

community hub that it is.”

Letters to the editorConfederation Park

I’ve been interested in the work that has been done by the Highways Depart-ment to beautify the west entrance of the city. They have made adjustments to make the entrance and exit to/from Cranbrook’s Confederation Park safer and easier for tourists pulling trailers. The Confederation monument, plaque and the time capsule have safely been relocated next to the Cranbrook Cham-ber’s Visitor Centre. It appears that most of the work was done at no cost to the City. However, now is the time for the City Fathers, and Mothers, to decide if some of our present tax surplus can be used to complete this project.

Our Confederation Park has to be the ONLY quiet, free parking spot that is eas-ily accessible from Highway 3 for tourists as they visit our city. It is definitely the only spot where children can get out of their vehicles, safely run around and get some exercise. It is also a great spot for dogs to be given exercise after being cooped up. Not only is this project des-tined to beautify the west entrance to Cranbrook, it can also draw visitors to the Visitor Centre for information on what Cranbrook has to offer.

The same visitors will be exposed to the work done by Ducks Unlimited and can learn of the importance of this area to the Ktunaxa. The same visitors can be shown the work that is done to ensure the safe breeding of our local turtles. Even the account of how Elizabeth Lake got its name is a great story to share.

This is our Confederation Park. In spite of another recent “Janus” column, how many Chamber members, city councillors and citizens know about how important a role was played by one resi-dent of Cranbrook when British Colum-bia was brought into Confederation? Henry E. Seelye played a pivotal role in the Confederation discussions taking place in Ottawa. He ensured B.C. was given responsible government and the status of a province, and was the person who sent the first news of the successful negotiation back to B.C.

Henry Seelye is buried in our Cran-brook cemetery and apparently was a member of the first white family to live in the Cranbrook area. We could promote these facts and take pride in his being part of our province’s history by putting up information signs for visitors drawn into Confederation Park.

I implore Chamber of Commerce members, city councillors and the citi-zens of Cranbrook to get behind a deci-sion to use some of our surplus tax funds to ensure the completion of this worth-while project. Let’s treat the travelling public to at least one attractive entrance to our city and to a place where they will be encouraged to stop. Let’s not wel-come visitors to our city by showing them yet another half finished project.

snowmobilers, caribouI was quite concerned to see the small

article titled “Snowmobilers lead preda-tors to caribou” in the January 24th Daily Townsman. An uninformed reader might be lead to believe that there was some

truth to the headline. Our club, the Cranbrook Snowmobile

Club has been a leader in protecting habitat for caribou in the Lumberton area. The club “voluntarily” closed many popular snowmobiling so that the local caribou herd might have a chance for survival. Countless hours were spent in meetings and placing signs marking the closed areas. Even though caribou have not been seen in recent years in many of these closures, the club supported the closures in the off chance that the cari-bou might begin to recover and repopu-late areas that were determined by biolo-gists to be suitable for caribou winter habitat.

No data or research paper has ever stated that predators will follow snow-mobile tracks and subsequently prey on the caribou. Predation by wolves and cougars is the leading cause of caribou mortality but this occurs primarily in the summer months when caribou are forag-ing in the lower areas of the mountains.

The Cranbrook Snowmobile Club be-lieved that the recent trans-location of caribou to augment the local herd was at best a last ditch effort to try and bring this remnant herd back to a sustainable level. The science seems to suggest that transplanting caribou and other ungu-lates is not usually successful. With only 4 out of 21 donor caribou surviving, the club now has serious questions and con-cerns about the second proposed trans-plant tentatively scheduled for this spring. We have not seen any plans that would indicate the newest transplants would fare any better.

Through our Stewardship Manage-ment Agreement (still awaiting signing by MOE) we educate local snowmobil-ers, install and maintain signage of cari-bou closure areas and have volunteer patrols to ensure that these closures are enforced. We are doing our part to en-sure that caribou have a chance at sur-vival.

Over the past five seasons in our man-agement area, club members have not seen a single resident caribou; although one of the 2012 transplants was observed walking down the road on the way out of the Lumberton area in the late spring after the snowmobile season had ended.

Perhaps you could have your writers research the facts before printing infor-mation that casts our local snowmobile community in a poor light. We deserve much better from our local newspaper.

tax ‘savings’The other day I received a booklet

from the Federal Government, courtesy of David Wilks, MP for Kootenay-Colum-bia, outlining “Tax Savings for You and Your Family”. On the back of the book it states “the Ministerial Offices of both Fi-nance and The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) have reviewed and fact checked the document’s text.” What the booklet fails to mention is the gargantuan largess bestowed on Canada’s corporations.

Here are some other facts to consider:• Statistics Canada numbers show Ca-

nadian non-financial corporations with

a cash hoard of $526 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 43 per cent since the recession ended in 2009 (The Globe and Mail, August 22, 2012).

• Canada’s corporate tax rate is among the lowest of the low. “When Prime Min-ister Stephen Harper came to power in 2006, the federal corporate tax rate was 21 per cent. That was down from 24.5 per cent in 1990 and 30 per cent in 1980. Ot-tawa reduced it to 19 per cent in 2009, 18 per cent in 2010, 16.5 per cent in 2011 and 15 per cent in 2012.” (The Globe and Mail, October 8, 2012).

Isn’t it obvious what is really happen-ing in this country? Tax savings for ordi-nary Canadians are but a pittance, a bone tossed to placate the electorate, and remember, while all this fantastic wealth was being pushed towards those who really don’t need it, the government introduced legislation to raise the age of retirement, not lower it. Try to think of these things not just the next time you do your taxes, but when the next election comes around.

Customer serviceI just wanted to submit a letter to the

editor regarding a local business where the customer service was exceptional. Recently I was having car troubles. I called BCAA, and the young man that showed up just jump-started my car, but suggested I probably needed a new bat-tery. I then drove around (leaving my ve-hicle running ) and priced out batteries.

The first place I had priced it out at was very nice, but was going to have to order it in. After also hearing this from two other places, I was on my way back to the first when I passed a little shop on Theatre Road that I hadn’t even known was there. I pulled in, thinking I probably would get the same answers, but to my delight this young man and his team made me welcome right away. Said they would have it ordered in, knock another $20 off the lowest price and would put it in for me for nothing. They suggested I just leave it for a couple hours. Less than two hours later, the owner called to say the battery was there, but he couldn’t in good faith put it in, as he’d pulled my old one out and tested it and it was perfectly fine. His actual words were, “I’d be rip-ping you off if I put the new one in!”

So then I asked what I should do if the car died again, and he said he didn’t think it would but if it did, then to call him wherever I was and he’d come and put the new one in for me then. So my friend drove me back, and I was fully ex-pecting to at least pay for his time, but he handed me the keys, and said have a good day. I couldn’t believe it. He didn’t know I’d been having a rough time, and his act of kindness almost had me in tears. So thank you to Ryan and the guys from Cranbrook Auto Repair. You will definitely have my future business, and I highly recommend to anyone else to give this business a try as well.

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. That’s what the bard says and I’m not disput-ing it. And the single-most pleasing scent in all the world

is that of a baby. You may dispute if you want, but any parent knows that smell — that unmistakable, soothing, wonderful scent of baby — is the best smell ever.

You know who agrees with me? Dolce and Gab-bana, the Italian luxury in-dustry fashion house. In fact, Dolce and Gabbana agree so whole-heartedly that they have just intro-duced a new scent to their line of perfumes — per I bambini, which translates to ‘for children’.

Yup, baby perfumes to make your baby smell better than a baby. More babyish, if you will.

The mind boggles. Can you imagine picking up your little bundle of joy, raising he or she to your face, nuzzling against that sweet skin and saying to yourself, ‘You know what this baby needs is some per-fume’?

I just.... words fail me. Add ‘per I bambini’ to the list of stupid

products we don’t need.But add it to the list or not, I am betting

there are people out there who will think baby perfume is the best idea ever. You

think not? Let’s take a short journey though stupid products no one should have made money on — but did.

Of course there’s the Pet Rock. Remem-ber those? Who needs a rock in a box, that you can pretend is your pet? No one needs that, we all said. Tell that to inventor Gary Dahl who made millions on that little ven-

ture. Well, tell it to him if you can find him on that tropical island he is no doubt inhabiting.

And of course there’s the singing fish. How many homes did you walk into and your host insisted you listen to the bass sing

‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’? You had one, don’t lie to me.

Then there’s Billy Bob Teeth. Yes, these are dentures that make you look like a hill-billy. This begs the eternal question — why? Why would you want to look like a hillbilly? But the inventor, a small town dentist, made millions of dollars. Check it out at billybobteeth.org. I kid you not.

How about the Flowbee? You know, the little vacuum hair-cutting machine? You don’t have to sweep up the cut hair be-cause the vacuum sucks it off your head, mid-cut? Yeah, that’s the one.

But the afore-mentioned products ac-tually did make some people some money.

I’m still wondering how much money baby perfume will make the already

wealthy Stefano Gabbana. Will it make him even richer? Or is baby perfume des-tined to join the list of products that should never have been invented?

I speak of products like Man Candles, with scents of ‘Riding Mower’ and ‘Two by Four’. Never heard of them? Shocking.

How about pickle-flavoured toothpaste or pizza-flavoured cookies? How about Paula Deen Butter-Flavoured Lip Balm? Wonder Sauna Hot Pants, anyone? Meat-ball-flavoured bubblegum? A non-stick frying pan with a denim jeans design. It exists, I swear. Also electric rubber duckies for your bath. Yes, electric. For the bath tub. I don’t see how anything could go wrong with that.

Someone also once invented banana bling. It’s like a jewel-crusted sleeve you put over your banana so it... looks sparkly, I guess.

There is also a chip made to look like the tip of a finger. You dip it and bite off your own finger.

One of my personal faves I found on the quest for stupid products was lunch meat with clown faces formed into the meat with other coloured lunch meat. Sort of like Mortadella, except with the extra creepy factor. Really, the only thing that could make it better was if it smelled more like a baby.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The Kootenay Ice beat the road blues by shutting out the Leth-bridge Hurricanes 3-0 on home ice on Saturday night at Western Finan-cial Place.

Ice goaltender Mack-enzie Skapski earned his fourth career shutout by stopping 23 shots, while Levi Cable, Joey Leach and Brock Montgomery supplied the offence.

“I’m feeling really good, especially bounc-ing back from that Red Deer game [a 6-2 loss],” said Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski. “It was a tougher game and it’s good to get back on track again.”

Sam Reinhart extend-ed his point streak to 16 games—the longest ac-tive run in the WHL—by assisting Cable’s goal in the second period.

Reinhart’s streak has tallied 14 goals and 11 assists over the last 16 games.

“Obviously there’s been a little individual success on this little run we’ve had, but more im-portantly, over the last 16 games, we’ve had quite a few wins,” said Reinhart. “We’re just looking for-ward to keeping that up, every game is so import-ant, so we really need a big performance out of every guy, every game going down the last cou-ple weeks here.”

Kootenay has won 12 of the 16 games during Reinhart’s streak.

The win also makes it eight in a row in their home barn for the Ice, which have another pair next weekend in front of the home crowd against Spokane and Moose Jaw.

Special teams won the game for Kootenay, especially on the penalty kill, as the Ice shut out the Hurricanes on all six of their opportunities with the man advantage. On the other side of the coin, the Ice capitalized twice on three power-play chances.

Lethbridge goalten-der Ty Rimmer made 26 saves for the loss.

The two teams played each other to a draw during the opening peri-od, but Montgomery

saved a sure goal when he got his stick tangled up with an opponent who had a wide open net.

The Ice seemed to have some trouble es-tablishing a rhythm in the first period, killing off three of Lethbridge’s six powerplays.

“It was just too many penalties in the first and big kills by us and that really enabled us to get some momentum going into the second period and we were able to get some goals there and Skapper played great, said Reinhart.”

The first goal came shorthanded, as Rein-hart intercepted the puck at the Ice blueline

while on the penalty kill and turned up the ice. Streaking down the side-boards, he dished off the puck to Cable, who went top shelf on Rimmer.

Four minutes later, on another man-advan-tage, captain Joey Leach took a pass from Luke Philp and blasted a slap shot into the back of the net.

Montgomery got his late off an empty net goal as the Hurricanes pulled Rimmer to make it even strength while trying to kill off a late penalty.

It was the first time Mike Simpson faced his former team since get-ting traded earlier in Jan-uary.

“It was good, we had a few words, thought I’d have to drop the gloves and tune him up for all the times he pissed me off when we were room-ing together,” joked Jon Martin, after the game.

ICE NOTES: Koote-nay is three points out-side of a playoff spot be-hind the Medicine Hat Tigers in ninth place. Tanner Faith didn’t play against Lethbridge as he is out one to two weeks with an upper body inju-ry. The team will be out at the skating area in Baker Park on Monday afternoon from 4-6 p.m. Anyone can bring a stick and a pair of skates to play some shinney with the team.

Ravens win Super Bowl, beat 49ers 34-31ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW ORLEANS - From blowout to black-out to shootout, Joe Flacco and the Balti-more Ravens had just enough to survive one of the most electric Super Bowls ever.

The outage flipped a switch for the San Fran-cisco 49ers, but the Ra-vens used a last-gasp defensive stand to hold on Sunday night, 34-31.

America’s biggest sporting event came to a half-hour standstill in the third quarter when most of the Superdome lights and the score-boards went dark. By then, the Ravens had a

22-point lead.Everything changed

after that, though, and the 49ers staged a sen-sational rally before Ray Lewis and Co. shut it down. But there were plenty of white-knuckle moments and the Ra-vens (14-6) had to make four stops inside their 7 at the end.

For a Super Bowl with so many subplots, it almost had to end this way.

Flacco’s arrival as a championship quarter-back coincides with Lewis’ retirement - with a second Super Bowl ring no less. The win capped a sensational

month since the star linebacker announced he was leaving the game after 17 Hall of Fame-caliber years.

The sibling rivalry between the coaching Harbaughs went to John, older than Jim by 15 months.

“How could it be any other way? It’s never pretty. It’s never perfect. But it’s us,” John Har-baugh said. “It was us today.”

At 4 hours, 14 min-utes, it was the longest Super Bowl ever. Among the most thrilling, too.

The loss of power de-layed the game 34 min-utes and left players

from both sides stretch-ing and chatting with each other. It also cost Baltimore whatever mo-mentum it built, and that was considerable after Jacoby Jones’ 108-yard kickoff return and game MVP Flacco’s three touchdown passes made it 28-6.

Back came San Fran-cisco (13-5-1) in search of its sixth Lombardi Trophy in as many tries.

Michael Crabtree’s 31-yard touchdown re-ception on which he broke two tackles made it 28-13. A couple min-utes later, Frank Gore’s 6-yard run followed a 32-yard punt return by

Ted Ginn Jr., and the 49ers were within eight.

Ray Rice’s fumble at his 24 led to David Akers’ 34-yard field goal, but Baltimore woke up for a long drive leading to rookie Justin Tucker’s 19-yard field goal.

San Francisco wasn’t done challenging, though, and Colin Kaepernick’s 15-yard TD run, the longest for a quarterback in a Super Bowl, made it 31-29. A 2-point conversion pass failed when the Ravens blitzed.

Tucker added a 38-yarder with 4:19 re-maining, setting up the frantic finish.

Ghostriders edge Nitros 3-2 in Fernie


The Ghostriders kept climbing towards the top of the Eddie Mountain Division with a 3-2 deci-sion over the Kimberley Dynamiters on Saturday night in Fernie.

Dylan Robertson broke a tie in the third period to lift the ‘Riders to the win, as Fernie en-gineered a come from behind victory.

Matthew Mitchell stood in net for the Dy-namiters, making 32 saves in defeat, while Chris Solecki made 29 saves to earn the win for Fernie.

The Nitros opened the scoring six minutes into the game on a goal from Dallin Wolf to take a first period lead.

Braeden Monk tied up the game in the sec-ond period, with a pow-erplay marker, before Kimberley pulled ahead on a goal from Tyson Klingspohn.

R.T. Rice brought things even with four minutes to go in the mid-dle period, but Robert-son’s goal in the third period stood as the game-winner.

Kimberley currently sits in third place in the division and can’t math-ematically climb any higher. However, the Co-lumbia Valley Rockies are 10 points behind with five games in hand and could potentially move up if the Nitros get into trouble going down the final regular season stretch.

Avalanche have tough home weekend


The College of the Rockies volleyball squads had a tough weekend, as both the men’s and women’s teams struggled against the Capilano University Blues.

The women’s Avs were blanked 3-0 in both matches, as their oppo-nents held off a late push on Friday (17-25, 12-25, 23-25). The ladies came out firing the next day (22-25, 23-25, 19-25), but the Blues were able to weather the storm.

The men didn’t fare any better, winning a set, but dropping the match on Friday, while getting blanked 3-0 on Satur-day.

The Blues took the first two sets of the week-end’s first match (27-25, 25-14, 23-25, 25-14), be-fore the men took one away by a spread of two points. However, the Blues roared back and won the fourth to take the match.

Capilano swept the three sets on Saturday (25-16, 25-17, 25-21) to earn the win.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might walk into a veil of con-fusion because someone is not being clear. This person does not totally understand the dynamics of the situation at hand. Commu-nicate your message with more clarity, and you will get results. Tonight: Laugh off a recent mis-understanding. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are full of questions. Have that long-overdue discussion. Your energy rarely is sporadic, though it could be at the mo-ment. Swallowing your anger could be one of the causes. A money-making idea sounds good -- just do your research first. Tonight: Follow someone’s lead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Confusion marks your communi-cation. Assess where the mix-up might be. Excellent ideas could fall flat today. Have some sympa-thy for a boss or higher-up who might be having a similar expe-rience. Your innate good nature draws in opportunities. Tonight:

Go with the moment. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be upset by what you see. Diving in and fixing the problem usually works, only right now the problem isn’t obvious. In fact, you could have a hard time zeroing in on the dynamics involved. Remain con-fident. Tonight: Touch base with someone at a distance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Where others seem to be baffled, you will have a sense of direction. You might not be able to verbal-ize where this knowledge comes from. A friend who understands you very well encourages you to go down an unknown path. Trust your sixth sense. Tonight: With the gang. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Demands seem to appear out of nowhere. This issue could involve your home, personal life and/or real estate. A parent could be involved. A partner or associate seems extremely whimsical with money, which causes you some concern. Tonight: Stay close to home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’ll ask a lot of questions as to what is happening within your immediate circle. You want to get to the bottom of a problem. Approach issues creatively today. Do be careful when dealing with anything mechanical. News from a distance thrills you. Tonight: Keep it light and easy. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your creativity surges, and you will cook up a great idea. The problem lies in the cost. Even if you do not anticipate a financial snafu, it still could happen. Use good sense with a child or new love interest. You do not want to go overboard. Tonight: Allow greater give-and-take. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You feel up to nearly any task. You might have an important matter to deal with, which could make you feel a little uneasy. Slow down. You can be suc-cessful doing so many different things. Lighten up the moment, and share more of your feelings. Tonight: All smiles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You know precisely where you want to go with a conversation

that is a bit overdue. Listen carefully to news, and take time to digest what you are hearing. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t push at this moment. Caring flows in an unprecedented man-ner. Tonight: Go with a sugges-tion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Confusion could result in a finan-cial mistake. You can’t be careless with money right now. Focus on other matters, where success is more likely to greet you. Your smile will warm up an important friendship. Question a long-term commitment. Tonight: Where people are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your way of moving through problems usually is excellent, yet today, there could be a backfire. Let others voice their opinions. A decision that already was made could be hard to carry out. An el-ement of confusion runs through your plans. Tonight: A must ap-pearance. BORN TODAY Musician Kitaro (1953), singer/songwriter Alice Cooper (1948), boxer Oscar de La Hoya (1973)

Dear Annie: I have been with “John” for more than 10 years. We have children to-gether. I have reached the point in my life that I wish to be married. I never wanted to be a girlfriend forever, and he knew this from the beginning. John says stupid things like, “If you did such-and-such, then I’d marry you.” I don’t believe marriage is about how much I can do for him. It’s about loving each other enough to commit. I love John, but he is unwilling to take that step, so I have told him if we are not married by next summer, he has to move out and let me get on with my life. I’m not trying to force him to the altar. It’s simply that if a legal commitment isn’t in the cards, I need to plan my future without him. The problem is, John tells me he will not leave. I don’t want things to get nasty by involving the authorities, but I want more out of my life than he does. Over the past few months, I have made myself completely miserable just thinking about all of this. Am I being unreasonable? Am I putting myself and my needs first by demanding he make a choice? -- Dazed and Confused Dear Dazed: No. John’s needs have come first for the past 10 years. But aside from that, you already may have a legal commitment in place. When a couple lives together as long as you have, it is recognized in many states as a common-law marriage. So, although you haven’t had a ceremony, you may, in fact, be legally tied. You also have children, and a separation will entail custody, visitation and child sup-port arrangements, so you might consider counseling before disentangling yourself. Even something as simple as tossing him out of the house becomes a legal matter. Check the laws in your state regarding com-mon-law marriage, and if necessary, get the assistance of an attorney. Dear Annie: We have a home in another state and allow family members and friends to vacation there. Recently, when we went to the house, we found several framed family photographs of our guests throughout the family room and bedroom. I think this is in poor taste and that our guests have overstepped their privileges. Should I say thank you and simply put the photos away? Or should I allow others to decorate my home? -- Concerned Dear Concerned: Well, this is certainly nervy. You are obviously such an accom-modating host that your guests feel a little too much at home. We suggest returning the photographs to the owners, saying, “You must have left these at our house when you last stayed there. I know you would want them back so you can appreciate them in your own home.” Dear Annie: I am “S.W. from California,” the 88-year-old who had a falling out with his daughter. She and her husband cut off contact, so I cut them out of my will. After the letter appeared, I got a call from my son-in-law, who referred me to some online comments about your column. I was surprised by the negative response. It seems there is a generation gap. I was a Depression kid, and there was no help from the gov-ernment. If you couldn’t pay for food, you starved. Having gone through such rough times, we wanted to make things easy for our kids, and we gave them everything. It only resulted in spoiling them, and they, in turn, spoiled the next generation. These kids expect everything to be given to them and show no respect for their parents. My gener-ation always showed respect. Fortunately, as a result of your publishing my letter, my daughter contacted me, and we are now speaking again. She doesn’t see things my way, and I don’t see things her way, but we have agreed to disagree. -- S.W. from California Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

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.


NEWSdaily townsman / daily bulletin

Michelle McQuiggeCanadian Press

TORONTO — The country’s one-cent piece may be on the verge of extinction, but for creative Cana-dians seeking ways to make the most of the soon-to-be obsolete coin, the penny has already dropped.

Humble pennies will still be in demand for artistic endeavours or cultural projects long after the smallest form of currency has dis-appeared from Canadian tills.

That phase-out begins Monday when the Royal Canadian Mint of-ficially stops distributing one-cent coins to Canada’s financial institu-tions.

The move comes nearly a year

after Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced the demise of the coin, whose production cost had come to exceed its monetary value.

For some artists, however, the penny remains an item of consid-erable worth.

Renee Gruszecki, a Hali-fax-based academic and archivist, has spent the past year making a living through a jewelry business devoted primarily to preserving the country’s stray cents.

About 30,000 strategically sort-ed pennies fill Gruszecki’s home and eventually find their way into the accessories produced at Coin Coin Designs and Co.

Gruszecki, a long-time collector of lucky pennies, believes her piec-

WIARTON, Ont. — Canada’s prognosticating rodents are split on whether the country is in for an early spring or six more weeks of winter.

Wiarton Willie, Canada’s most celebrated of all its furry forecast-ers, is predicting an early spring, siding with Pennsylvania’s Punx-sutawney Phil — generally regard-ed as the groundhog of record.

Manitoba’s lesser known wood-chuck, Winnipeg Willow, also failed to see her shadow when she emerged Saturday morning, mean-ing she believes spring is around the corner. That contrasted with Manitoba Merv — a gopher-like puppet at an interpretive centre north of Winnipeg — which pre-dicted six more weeks of winter.

Alberta’s Balzac Billy, which is really a person in a Richardson ground squirrel costume, predicted

a quick end to winter — giving a thumbs up to a cheering crowd when he couldn’t see his shadow in a Calgary garden centre parking lot.

But Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam and Quebec’s Fred are calling for more cold weather.

Folklore has it that if a ground-hog sees its shadow on Groundhog Day it’ll flee back to its burrow, heralding six more weeks of winter, and if it doesn’t, it means spring’s just around the corner.

Hundreds bundled up early Sat-urday to watch Willie emerge, many slipping on woodchuck masks or toting figurines of the famous ro-dent.

Willie’s prognostication is the marquee moment of a three-day festival in his honour.

Kristin Otten, who was crowned the festival’s queen, said she was a bit disappointed with the ground-hog’s call.

“I’m kind of sad about that be-

cause I really love the snow. But we’ll see what happens,’’ she said.

Others suggested the forecast isn’t as important as the celebration itself.

“We only get to do this once a year,’’ said Jerzy Bohatkiewicz, who has gone to the annual event for the last eight years.

“There’s a reason for us to be here, to get out of bed at five in the morning, so we can find each other amongst this crowd here, find a lit-tle corner where we can all laugh and cheer and have fun —no mat-ter what.’’

Shubenacadie Sam was the first out of his burrow to make his pre-diction to a worldwide audience via webcam.

Fred was next with his forecast in Val d’Espoir, a community in the Gaspesie region.

Willie weighed in just after 8 a.m. Eastern time, followed by Wil-low roughly an hour later.

L’EPIPHANIE, Que. — Que-bec provincial police have launched an investigation into a deadly landslide at a quarry near Montreal.

Gregory Gomez, a spokes-man for the force, said officers will work on figuring out what exactly happened now that the recovery effort is over.

The company that operated the quarry will be included in the investigation, Gomez said.

``We’ve done some analysis on the site and in the pit,’’ he said.

``We’re going to try to deter-mine what happened, the se-quence of events, and if there is criminal wrongdoing in this in-cident.’’

The province’s health and safety board will also be assist-ing with the case.

The bodies of two workers — a woman and a man — were recovered on Saturday. They had been missing since Tues-day’s landslide at the gravel quarry in L’Epiphanie, Que., east of Montreal.

The man has been identified as 54-year-old Daniel Brisebois. Police haven’t yet confirmed the identity of the woman.

A third worker was rescued by a provincial police helicopter on Tuesday within hours of the collapse.

Rescue efforts were put on hold during the week due to bad weather and concerns of anoth-er landslide.

A massive penny party held in downtown Ottawa netted more than 120,000 cents, but starkly il-lustrated the coin’s economic shortcomings.

Canadians who want to dispose of their spare change, Golby said, could find better uses for it than stopping by a charitable penny drive.

“On some level you go, ‘OK, it can’t hurt,’ but when you factor in what it costs to charity . . . in time, in rolling costs, it’s not a cost-effec-tive way for charities to really actu-ally net decent money,’’ he said.

The logistical challenges associ-ated with the penny were one rea-son Flaherty cited for discontinu-ing the coin, adding the economic toll worked out to about $11 mil-lion a year.

Retailers will be among the first to start phasing out the coin, and Canadians will see the effects al-most immediately.

The Federal Government has is-

sued guidelines urging store own-ers to start rounding prices to the nearest nickel for cash transac-tions. Electronic purchases will still be billed to the nearest cent.

It may take months for the penny to completely disappear from circulation, news that Gruszecki suspects is welcome to more than just penny-wise entre-preneurs.

Sales of her jewelry have spiked as the coin’s demise drew nearer, she said, adding Canadians’ disre-gard for the coin as a form of legal tender has not diminished their sense of its value.

“I hope my jewelry will serve as a means for them to save a penny and keep the penny in circulation,’’ she said.

“If you’re wearing it on a ring or you’re wearing it around your neck, you keep its visual presence cer-tainly alive. If there can be an addi-tional layer of meaning to it, all the better.’’

es will help preserve a symbol that doubles as both an object of super-stition and a Canadian icon.

“The maple leaf is synonymous with everything Canadian. We all identify with it,’’ she said in a tele-phone interview. “Now it’s just no longer going to be present among us, so I’m saddened by that.’’

The Bank of Canada’s Currency Museum has already taken one step towards preserving the penny a lit-tle longer in the minds of Canadi-ans.

A mural consisting of nearly 16,000 one-cent pieces has been assembled at the museum to com-memorate the coin’s history, said assistant curator Raewyn Passmore.

The mosaic, which depicts a giant penny measuring about two square metres, is comprised of coins ranging from the lustrous to the tarnished.

Passmore said the design was meant to honour a coin which, while lacking buying power now, enjoyed many decades of promi-nence since its first minting in 1858.

“It was probably the most com-mon coin in circulation at one point and probably the most useful for ordinary people,’’ she said. “We wanted to make a tribute to a some-times overlooked coin.’’

The penny’s lack of present-day value was the impetus for its de-mise, a point that’s recently been driven home to Canadians hoping to use their discarded coins to raise money for charity.

Jeff Golby, director of charity bank Chimp Fund, launched a pub-licity campaign shortly after the last penny was struck in an effort to convince Canadians to empty their pockets into the coffers of cash-strapped organizations.
