Local florist business owners Paddy and Sue Brown are feeling anxious about the future of their business since the building which houses it has been sold to the City of Kimberley. The City purchased the Flowers Galore building, located on Wallinger Avenue at the
bridge, in order to proceed with the Mark Creek flume rehab said Mayor Ron McRae. “The City now owns the building after negotiating the purchase with the previous owners,” McRae said. The Browns have written to City Council explaining how they feel their business will be affected by the sale. C.

Cpl. Chris Newel, Acting NCO for the Kimberley Detachment of the RCMP, delivered the fourth quarter policing report to Kimberley City Council on Monday evening. This was also the year end report for 2013. The Kimberley RCMP operates under a guiding document, the Annual Performance Plan, priorities in which are arrived at through consultation with Council and community members. Detachment members will be looking to meet with Council to-
wards the end of February to identify priorities for next year. In 2013, the five initiatives the detachment focused on were distracted driving, cell phones; long boards/ skate boards; alcohol/ raves; drug trafficking; and prolific offenders. Newel offered a brief summary of each initiative in the fourth quarter. There were a minimal number of distracted drivers ticketed during the quarter. “We see them every day but it’s tough to catch them,” he said. “A lot of times you can tell they are looking at their lap and probably using a cell phone, but
it’s difficult to get solid evidence to support the charges.” Long boarding is not an issue in the winter, but Newel said the committee which met three times last summer and fall to discuss the issue, will reconvene in the spring. Raves are also not a winter issue, but Newel said police will take a proactive approach to the coming spring and summer by monitoring Facebook pages where news of the raves’ locations is shared. He said one rave organizer had approached RCMP and would like to meet to discuss matters. See POLICE, page 3

Cranbrook store gets hot tub excellence awards A R N E P E T RYS H E N Townsman Staff
Beachcomber Hot Tubs in Cranbrook received two awards for performing above and beyond expectations in the Beachcomber retail world. It was awarded the 2013 Beachcomber Hot Tubs and Plus Store of the Year for a Unique Super Centre and the Tethys Award for Excellence at the annual retail training workshop for the brand. The Store of the Year Awards are given to stores that performed above and beyond expectations in all product categories, while the Tethys Award is Beachcomber’s highest honour. “We’ve won the store of the year, for 10,000 single family homes or less, for multiple years in a row, but the Tethys Award we’ve been trying to win for many years,” said Murray Floyd, owner and general manager of the Cranbrook Beachcomber. “That’s by running an excellent business without any customer
complaints, excelling in customer service, all product categories.” Floyd said they focus on employing long-term staff and without that staff, the business wouldn’t be what it is. “It’s a huge honour to win the Tethys award,” he said, adding that stores in much bigger cities like Edmonton are usually the front runners. “This store is recognized for their excellent sales, outstanding customer support, and following the Beachcomber methods and programs to maximize their success,” said Craig Lundman, vice-president of sales and growth for Beachcomber Hot Tubs Group. “They exemplify the best in looking after existing customers, generating referrals, and attracting new business.” The awards are earned for top performing stores, but they also take into account the store’s dedication. Lundman noted the Cranbrook store has been a long-standing Beachcomber re-
tailer in the network of stores, and has served Cranbrook and the surrounding area since 1973. The annual retail training workshops, called New Horizons, were held in Vancouver in January. Retail store owners and staff travelled to meet with Beachcomber’s in-house trainers for three days of specialized training, motivation and instruction in the new 2014 hot tub product and sales programs. This year there was a special focus on new financial tools and marketing technology to help promote the quality and benefits of a Beachcomber hot tub for the whole family. Beachcomber Hot Tubs is a manufacturer located in the community of Surrey, B.C. and specializes in the building of hot tubs. Beachcomber ships to over 40 countries around the world, and distributes a large lineup of hot tub models in a variety of configurations.

Man found dead in Kelowna was from Cranbrook Christopher Ausman, 32 found deceased in Kelowna; not yet deemed homicide by police Jennifer Smith Kelowna Capital News
He was a father, a golfer, a fun-loving hockey player and reputedly a hard-working guy. A child of the Kootenays, Christopher Ausman is also being described as a pretty tough 32-year-old man by the many friends and family leaving thoughts, pictures and videos on the Facebook page set up to mark his loss. Yet something happened to Ausman in the early hours of Saturday morning in Kelowna that RCMP cannot or will not explain. An officer found his deceased body in a pool of blood on a Rutland sidewalk; the cause of death has yet to be named. “Certainly this is a suspicious death. There’s no doubt about that. This is a 32-yearold man who was found deceased, which is not normal circumstances,” said Const. Kris Clark, Kelowna RCMP spokesman in a press conference held outside the detachment Monday morning. “…We are left with very few other circumstances, yes,” Clark admitted when pressed to add the word “murder” to the description. He would go no further, refusing to answer further questions until the autopsy is complete. Ausman was spotted in the 100-block of
Highway 33 a few hundred metres from where it intersects Rutland Road. It was 2:06 a.m. and the officer who called it in is said to have been on a routine patrol. The spot sits midway down a block containing the Cadillac Lounge strip club, the Olympia Greek Taverna Restaurant, a jewellery store and a vacant storefront. Only the lounge and the 7-Eleven convenience store would have had activity at the hour in question, but police have already found and spoken with several bystanders who were in the vicinity that evening. Kelly Ausman, Christopher’s younger brother, provided Global News with an interview stating his brother was at a poker game two blocks away just prior to his death and may have stopped at the 7-Eleven to get a hot dog, possibly being attacked on his way out. He does not believe robbery is a motive. Between the interviews, tips and video surveillance tapes collected thus far, one can surmise a picture of what transpired is likely evident to police by this point, yet police are still reiterating pleas for members of the public to come forward with information. Ausman’s personal Facebook account shows a man with near 900 friends and an active family life with his young daughter. He was originally from Cranbrook and a memorial page set up by friends and family continues to grow with new collections of photos, videos and comments posted nearly hourly.

Fifth Annual Family Fishing Derby for kids with cancer
Celebrate BC Family Day in true Kootenay fashion
Monday, February 10th marks BC’s second Family Day. To celebrate, bring your family to Horseshoe Lake from 10am3pm for a day of Kootenay outdoor festivities. The Family Fishing Derby for Kids with Cancer is being held for its fifth year and is a local fundraiser to help families across the entire Kootenay area. The main attraction is the ice fishing derby which has reeled in crowds of up to 1,500 to compete for the first prize fishing boat and trailer, generously donated by
FabRite Services. There is also a 50/50 draw, door prizes, silent auction, and hot chili at the event. For the kids, there are toboggan races, ice bowling, snow painting, tug-o-war, toboggan decorating, and hockey with the Kimberley Dynamiters. New this year, there is also a supervised Morrison shooting gallery. Designed for the whole family, you can even bring your furry family members (on leash) to compete in the best dressed dog contest. As a special bonus, for the fourth consecutive year, the Family Fishing Derby and Dacota Freight will be drawing the name of one child with cancer and their family to go to Disneyland with $1,000 spending
money. All of the other funds raised are distributed as emergency aid. In true Kootenay fashion, this event is about families helping families through outdoor fun. By buying a ticket you get to take part in the many great activities all while helping local children in need. Plus, there are great prizes! Caliper Machine & Hydraulics Ltd. donated a flat screen TV and PlayStation for the Kids’ biggest prize, and Jays Jewellers in Fernie donated a ¾ carat diamond white gold bracelet worth $2400 for the silent auction. Kootenay communities are unique in that the businesses, organizations, and volunteers go above and beyond with their
support, and the Family Fishing Derby is incredibly thankful for all involved. There is no better way to celebrate BC Family Day! Tickets are at Mountain Man Outdoors and Barber’s on Ninth in Cranbrook, at the Kimberly Chamber of Commerce, and at Extra Foods in Fernie. Tickets are just $10 for adults, and $5 for children and seniors; everyone must show a ticket to participate in any of the activities. Fishing licenses are required only for those older than 16 years. For more information or to help sponsor the event, please contact organizer Shane Westle at 250-919-4321 or at familyfishingderby@gmail.com.
Fourth quarter policing report From Page 1 While there have been some issues at raves in the Kimberley area, Newel said that the Elk Valley has more problems with raves. The prolific offender program involves police monitoring those who are living in the community living under police conditions, such as a curfew or probation. At present, there is only one
such individual in the community, Newel said. A very successful initiative has been drug trafficking. Police in Kimberley and Cranbrook successfully investigated 110 files over the year, Newel said, with eight in the last quarter, two specific to Kimberley. “The drug team continually receives information about those involved in the drug
trade,” Newel said. “They act upon this information when they have enough evidence for a warrant or arrest. We have been successful in the courts and sentences for trafficking have been six to nine months in jail.” Calls for service tend to drop during the winter months and that was true again for the fourth quarter, with 25 per cent less calls than the previous
quarter. For the year, the detachment dealt with 1,979 calls, a five per cent increase over the previous years, which Newel said was not significant. There was no major increase or decrease in type of calls. A new detachment commander has been identified for Kimberley, but he has not yet been able to sell his home and will not arrive in Kimberley until that occurs.

MasterChef contender makes top 16 Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
Cranbrook’s Danielle Cardozo proceeded to the top 16 in MasterChef Canada’s second episode, which aired on CTV on Monday, Jan. 27. Danielle, who works for ?aq’am (St. Mary’s Band) and is a sous chef at the Heid Out Brewhouse and Restaurant, was first announced as a member of the new series’ top 50 last month. The hit TV series, which has been made in 43 different countries, premiered the first Canadian season on Jan. 20. Danielle did not fea-
ture in the first episode, aside from brief shots of her face in the crowd of Top 50 contestants. But on Monday night’s second episode, she featured prominently. If you haven’t watched the episode yet and don’t want to know what happens, stop reading now. The episode never showed Danielle’s audition for a white apron and progress past the top 50. Thus we never saw her cook her signature dish, pan-seared miso-glazed rainbow trout, served with ponzu mushrooms and citrus miso broth, which was served at last week’s
CARRIERS WANTED Monday-Friday
viewing party at the Heid Out. Then, when the judges came out to address the home cooks who had earnt a white apron, there was Cranbrook’s very own Danielle Cardozo in the crowd. About 25 cooks made it to this level, and they were then presented with a “stress test” challenge. At first it looked as if the cooks were going to be asked to butcher a live chicken. Thankfully, the lights came up on a long row of cooking stations, each with an entire raw chicken, a cutting board, a single burner and a sauce pan.
There is still time to earn money for the ski season!

Danielle Cardozo has made it to the top 16 on Master Chef Canada. The cooks were then given access to the MasterChef pantry and one hour to prepare a restaurant-quality dish for the judges. Danielle decided to make a chicken involtini
– an Italian dish where chicken is wrapped around a filling. “Demon chef” Alvin Leung warned Danielle that the chicken would unravel as it cooked without something to secure it,
but Danielle didn’t have string to secure it. Adding to her woes was that another contestant, Julie Miguel, who is of Italian descent, was also making an involtini – and she had skewered
hers with rosemary to ensure they didn’t unravel. Julie was among the five cooks that the judges single out to make the top 16 before everybody else, and you could see Danielle sweating over her cooking station. Then the judges called up two groups of six chefs, saying that one group would go through and one group would be sent home. After some tense moments, Danielle’s group was sent through to the top 16 to much celebration. You can follow along with Danielle’s journey on MasterChef Canada, which next airs Sunday, Feb. 2 after the SuperBowl on CTV.
City purchases building From Page 1 “The third was to open a flower shop in a location of our choosing.” Brown writes that prior to making a decision he had coffee with Mayor Ron McRae to find out if the flume was a factor and if the City would be buying the building. “He (the Mayor) said the flume expansion was on the opposite side from the flower shop and that a piece of Flowers Galore property on that side had been or was going to be purchased. He did say that he would like to bulldoze the building and put in a green space but there were no plans to do so. “Largely based on the fact that the City didn’t seem to have any plans to impact the existing store
location, we decided to purchase the assets and sign a five year lease.” Now that the City has purchased the building the Browns feel that they are left with the worst scenario, having purchased the business and now being forced to relocate. Had they known this was going to happen, they say, they could have simply opened a new flower shop. Now they will have to move the entire contents of Flowers Galore to a new location. “I sympathize, empathize with them and the situation and the impact they feel,” said Coun. Darryl Oakley as the letter was received by Council this week. “A lot of it is circumstances changing as we try to deal with infrastructure.”
McRae said there were a few “inaccuracies” in the letter, but he shared the same sentiment. “The city is working with the operators of Flowers Galore to see what we can do to help out with finding another location,” McRae said later. However, the City still has had no word on potential funding from the Province and will not make a decision on going forward with the flume until they receive what McRae calls a “more definitive statement from the government”. “We are hopeful we will get that soon. The application is in the process and we haven’t heard anything to lead us to believe there are any problems with it.”

Return to the horrorscope “If your birthday is this week and you haven’t yet made plans for a vacation, forget it. Everyone else has.” Gabriella Schprom
F
or quite a while now I was in total panic mode. Here I was with 90 looming large in my life and I had absolutely no idea what the future held for me. I am going to kick the proverbial bucket; that’s a sure bet, but what about the next 20 or so years? Coming slowly — as is my wont — to the conclusion that I had no concept of what fate held in store for me, I went to that old-time, reliable source of information, the horrorscope, but couldn’t find one. For some obscure reason, they seem to have vanished off the face of the earth like dodos and common sense. Then, this past weekend, poring through several newspapers, I discovered one. Quickly seeking my reading glasses, I referred to my own birthday — Sagittarius. It said: It could be that you feel worn down and discouraged (right on!). If so, you need to get a grip on yourself because the planets warn that, if you give up something now, you will only have to start it again later. Dig deep and carry on. Encouraged, I set about cleaning the
kitchen, thoroughly this time, and gave a thought to the basement; there’s digging needed down there. Another expert claims that Sagittarians “are encompassed by a cloud of comforting convictions which move with them like flies on a summer’s day” whilst another pundit states, “You occasionally stumble over the truth but then pick yourself up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.” And then: “You are not perfect, merely entertaining.” So there. Peter But I began to wonder Warland about the fates of my dearest friends, so I researched a few. Look at the Scorpios, for example: It will pay you to adopt a low profile in the future, not least because certain individuals are looking for excuses to pick holes in what you think and do. Don’t make it easy for them and remember; an idea not coupled with action will never get bigger than the brain cell it once occupied. And the long-suffering Libras! You may think that you are not under so much pressure on the Sudoku and cross-word puzzles these days, but don’t use that as an excuse to lower your standards even more. Incredibly, people are watching you. Just remember; once you’re over the hill you begin to pick up speed. And the Virgos, poor things: If one of
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
you tells the other that you cannot have something that you feel is necessary this week, you will go out of your way to get it, irregardless. Think for a moment. Maybe that person is hoping you’ll react this way. Maybe you are being deliberately misled, again. Leos beware: You must be under absolutely no illusions as to what is important and what is not — and what you stand to lose when you get them mixed up. Life, by nature, is a messy thing and it is too much of a challenge for anyone like you to impose any sort of coherent plot around such messiness. Give it up. Aries: You will be able to get a much-needed respite this year from that problem that has been causing you sleepless nights. It might just resolve itself neatly when you finally get on to and stick with that diet and exercise regimen. Capricorns are a riot. Something you thought you understood perfectly now bothers you, but there is no reason to be disheartened because the knowledge you appear to have lost will come back like a stray puppy and probably pee on the carpet. Keep thinking. As for the other misbegotten characters, tough luck. There’s nothing in the planets (except for the occasional, not fully explained water-spout, according to the newspapers) so why don’t you stay in bed and keep out of the way of those other folk who are trying to be purposefully busy?

HELPING OUT: Jagger Dirk and Tyler King of the Kootenay Ice are no strangers to playing hockey, but Monday night, they were on the other side of the whistle as they stepped in to do a guest coaching gig with the Cranbrook Women’s Learn to Play Hockey League. The pace was just a tad slower than they are used to, but Dirk and King were terrific sports as they put the ladies through several drills at the Kinsmen Arena. The Learn to Play League is a development team for women who have never played hockey, but want to learn the game.

WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE
Ice defence piling up the assists TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
It’s always nice to score goals, but they don’t usually come without some help. For the Ice, a lot of that help has been coming from the defensive corps lately. While Kootenay is getting consistent scoring throughout their top-six forward lineup, the defence is also jumping up to help out on the offensive end of things. Rinat Valiev had season high three assists last Saturday during a 6-2 win against the Moose Jaw Warriors. Jagger Dirk added a pair of apples, while Landon Peel also scored a goal. “It’s a good thing,” said Peel. “I know McGill has been talking to us about jumping in on the rush and being the fourth man in, and I think we’ve been doing that, so that’s really helping our team be successful.” Peel contributed a pair of helpers recently in Regina during a 6-1 Ice win, while Tyler King earned three assists in a few recent games. “It definitely helps, anytime we’re contrib-
uting to get the pucks to the forwards so they can make a play or get a goal,” said King, “so it’s always important for us to make a good play and try to get them a scoring chance.” Along with helping out on the offensive end of the game, the defence is also being a factor against the other team the scoresheet. Over the last three games, the Ice have given up only five goals. A lot of that is certainly due to the work of goaltender Mackenzie Skapski, but the whole team, including the defence, deserves some credit. “We worked a lot in our own zone during practice and I think it’s really shown the last few games,” Peel said. King agreed. “I think we’ve got a lot of improvements back there and everyone’s been stepping up right now and it’s been helping us win games,” he said. The team will have to be defensively sound when they face the Tigers on Wednesday night in Medicine Hat. The Tabbies (28-173-0) used to reign on top
of the Eastern Conference standings, but now occupy fourth place with 59 points. Kootenay is only five spots back in eighth place, with 54 points. Even without former team captain and Vancouver Canucks prospect Hunter Shinkaruk, who had season-ending surgery on his hip earlier this month, the Tigers are still very much a dangerous team. The home team has won every game when they’ve met—Kootenay with a 4-3 win at Western Financial Place while the Tigers took a
pair of games in Medicine Hat. “It’s a tough rink to play in and they’re a good team this year,” said Peel, “but I think we got to go in there and really start off hot early and get to their defence and get behind their defence.” Curtis Valk, an overager for the Tigers, has been on fire, registering at least a goal over the last seven games, and racking up 12 points over the span. “He’s definitely a great player and you just got to be aware of him when he’s on the ice and
take a couple more looks so you have a better gap on him so he doesn’t get those chances,” said King. In addition to Valk, the Tigers are also getting consistent offence from Trevor Cox, Cole Sanford and Miles Koules, while Tommy Vannelli leads the team as the top scoring defenceman. Goaltender Marek Langhamer, who represented the Czech Republic at the World Juniors, has a respectable 2.57 goals against average and a save percentage of 0.910.
Peyton Manning shrugs off questions about his legacy at Super Bowl media day ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. - Peyton Manning is not interested in talking about where his career stands in football history. Not right now, anyway. Not when he’s still playing. And certainly not less than a week from playing in the Super Bowl for the Denver Broncos. As collected and measured as he is while standing in a pocket, Manning coasted
through the circus that is Media Day, opining on his family’s favourite beer, politely evading silly questions about reality TV - and avoiding any wild pronouncements. Reporters repeatedly brought up the word “legacy” as the 37-yearold Manning, a four-time NFL MVP who broke records by throwing for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards this season, sat through his hour-long
session Tuesday. Hardly surprising that he never took the bait. “I’ve been being asked about my legacy since I was about 25 years old. I’m not sure you can have a legacy when you’re 25 years old. Even 37,” Manning said in response to the first such query. “I’d like to have to be, like, 70 to have a legacy. I’m not even 100 per cent sure what the word even means.”

Picture Perf
Alex...
hails from Kimberley and has been stylin’ for over four years now. She has recently returned from a busy salon in Calgary. She looks forward to meeting you and creating the right cut for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) The unexpected seems to surround you as of late. You are full of surprises, and this intrigues certain friends. However, you also might throw a close loved one for a loop. Be more open about your process in an effort to calm this person down. Tonight: Go for what you want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll want to make an impression, but you can’t seem to cope with information that comes forward. Actually, it is the insight you gain that you have difficulty integrating. A partner is inordinately serious right now. Tonight: Screen your calls, unless you want to work late. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your ability to move past a problem and gain a new understanding remains high, as long as you brainstorm with one individual rather than several. You could be overserious with an associate. Allow your creativity to emerge, and relax. Tonight: Lighten up the moment.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Let others make their demands; you have a choice as to whether you want to respond. You might discover that there is no negotiating to be had -- it’s either this person’s way or the highway. Choose to drift away from such demanding people. Tonight: Sort through invitations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be more in tune with a situation, but you can’t seem to get into the changing dynamic and uncertainty regarding your role. You easily could become irritated. Be aware of the fact that you probably will say what you feel. Tonight: Join friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can’t be less than you are -- it’s not natural. When others need help, you’re always there. Even if you feel slighted by someone, you would find it difficult not to come to his or her rescue. Do less if you would like to lessen your resentment. Tonight: Make it early. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might experience a lot of
Tundra
frustration when it comes to a certain individual. Learning to do less will be important in this bond. Your expectations could be off, or your perception of this person might be distorted. Use care with your finances. Tonight: Ready to indulge a little. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your sense of well-being could be tested, mainly because you could be overtired. Know that you need to separate certain aspects of your life in order to lessen tension. Your fuse could be a lot shorter than you realize. Tonight: Head home early. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A loved one’s unpredictability could add excitement to your life rather than upset you. How you view this person’s behavior, which you know won’t change, could define the quality of your relationship. A friend could become unusually testy. Tonight: Respond to a pushy friend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel very connected to this day and also to the people around you. You could get a surprising call involving
your home or a domestic issue. You’ll speed through today feeling empowered, and you could be difficult to stop. Tonight: Indulge in a break. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your ability to see past the obvious will help you in a conversation. You might be unusually intuitive; however, if you don’t make sense, your thoughts will be rejected. Try to be clear. Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. Tonight: Do your thing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your intuition will take you far in a meeting, and it could help you reach a long-term goal. You could be taken aback by a partner who seems to be on the warpath. This person has been feeling rather off lately. Refuse to be triggered. Tonight: Not to be found. BORN TODAY Actor Tom Selleck (1945), TV personality Oprah Winfrey (1954), comedian W.C.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Why is it OK to photograph children and babies half-dressed or naked? I don’t mean pornography. I’m writing about family photos, TV shows and magazine advertisements. Babies are people who have no say over their own bodies. I feel sorry for these children. I don’t think it’s cute or adorable. They would look just as cute in a little dress or suit. Why exploit them this way? I believe there should be a law against photographing children who are not fully dressed. -- Concerned in Galesburg, Ill. Dear Galesburg: Babies and toddlers like to be naked. They often remove their clothing whether you want them to or not. And they generally make a mess, so their clothes must be changed several times a day. Most people would disagree that they aren’t cute and adorable, with or without clothes. There are laws against child pornography, which is sick and disgusting. But babies without clothing are in a perfectly natural state of being. Dear Annie: “We are here! We are here!” This is a gentle suggestion to consider reminding your readers that they can contact their local YWCA for help with many of the issues you address in your column. The YWCA has been in existence since 1858. Each branch or affiliate embraces the following mission: “YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.” As an example, our local YWCA provides shelter for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Please let your readers know they can contact their local YWCA when they need help. We are here, and we are here to stay! -- Jennifer Graf and Heather Farwell, co-chairs, YWCA Clinton, Iowa Dear Jennifer Graf and Heather Farwell: We are happy to recommend that our readers contact the YWCA, as well as the other service and counseling agencies we often mention. Your organization does a wonderful job for the community, and we appreciate the reminder. Dear Annie: I agree wholeheartedly with your response to “Searching for Answers.” He said his wife had the energy to run five miles a day, but wasn’t interested in sex. Among other things, you asked how much he was helping with the house and kids and said his wife might want to do something just for herself. I was married to a nice guy for 10 years, and we had two small children. We both worked full-time jobs, but once we got home from work, I began my second job, which consisted of fixing dinner, doing laundry, cleaning the house, ensuring the kids had their homework done and driving them to after-school activities. My ex’s evening consisted of eating dinner and then leaving to drink beer with his friends and work on their race cars. Requests for help taking care of the house and the kids went unheeded. When he returned home at night, I was exhausted, and he was expecting sex. I became angry and resentful and couldn’t stand the thought of him touching me. Husbands, if you would do your part to help with the kids and household chores, your wife’s attitude toward you may change. Take her out to dinner once a week. Don’t ask her where she would like to go. Make all of the arrangements, and let her relax for a change. Tell her how great she looks. Encourage her when she wants a little time for herself. She’ll appreciate you for it. Above all, do these things without the expectation of sex. Working mothers are exhausted. Once we can see that you aren’t doing these things for sex, we’ll be able to appreciate you for your genuine care and concern for the family. -- Single Grandma and Lovin’ It Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper
250-427-5333
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.
Call today and start advertising.

music Pete Seeger: 1919-2014
Iconic folk singer, activist, dies at age 94 Michael Hill And Chris Talbott Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — Buoyed by his characteristically soaring spirit, the surging crowd around him and a pair of canes, Pete Seeger walked through the streets of Manhattan leading an Occupy Wall Street protest in 2011. Though he would later admit the attention embarrassed him, the moment brought back many feelings and memories as he instructed yet another generation of young people how to effect change through song and determination — as he had done over the last seven decades as a history-sifting singer and ever-so-gentle rabble-rouser. “Be wary of great leaders,’’ he told The Associated Press two days after the march. “Hope that there are many, many small leaders.’’ The banjo-picking troubadour who sang for migrant workers, college students and star-struck presidents in a career that introduced generations of Americans to their folk music heritage died Monday at the age of 94. Seeger’s grandson, Kitama Cahill-Jackson, said his grandfather died peacefully in his sleep around 9:30 p.m. at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where he had been for six days. Family members were with him. With his lanky frame, use-
worn banjo and full white beard, Seeger was an iconic figure in folk music who outlived his peers. He performed with the great minstrel Woody Guthrie in his younger days and wrote or co-wrote “If I Had a Hammer,’’ ‘’Turn, Turn, Turn,” ‘’Where Have All the Flowers Gone” and ‘’Kisses Sweeter Than Wine.” He lent his voice against Hitler and nuclear power. A cheerful warrior, he typically delivered his broadsides with an affable air and his fingers poised over the strings of his banjo. In 2011, the canes kept Seeger from carrying his beloved instrument while he walked nearly 2 miles with hundreds of protesters swirling around him holding signs and guitars. With a simple gesture — extending his friendship — Seeger gave the protesters and even their opponents a moment of brotherhood the short-lived Occupy movement sorely needed. With The Weavers, a quartet organized in 1948, Seeger helped set the stage for a national folk revival. The group — Seeger, Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert and Fred Hellerman — churned out hit recordings of “Goodnight Irene,’’ ‘’Tzena, Tzena” and ‘’On Top of Old Smokey.” Seeger also was credited with popularizing “We Shall Overcome,’’ which he printed in his publication “Peo-
Pete Seeger, circa 1960. ple’s Song’’ in 1948. He later said his only contribution to the anthem of the civil rights movement was changing the second word from “will’’ to “shall,’’ which he said “opens up the mouth better.’’ His musical career was always braided tightly with his political activism, in which he advocated for causes ranging from civil rights to the cleanup of his beloved Hudson River. Seeger said he left the Commu-
nist Party around 1950 and later renounced it. But the association dogged him for years. He was kept off commercial television for more than a decade after tangling with the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1955. Repeatedly pressed by the committee to reveal whether he had sung for Communists, Seeger responded sharply: “I love my country very dearly, and I greatly re-
sent this implication that some of the places that I have sung and some of the people that I have known, and some of my opinions, whether they are religious or philosophical, or I might be a vegetarian, make me any less of an American.’’ He was charged with contempt of Congress, but the sentence was overturned on appeal. Seeger called the 1950s, years when he was denied broadcast exposure, the high point of his career. He was on the road touring college campuses, spreading the music he, Guthrie, Huddie “Lead Belly’’ Ledbetter and others had created or preserved. “The most important job I did was go from college to college to college to college, one after the other, usually small ones,’’ he told The Associated Press in 2006. “ ... And I showed the kids there’s a lot of great music in this country they never played on the radio.’’ His scheduled return to commercial network television on the highly rated Smothers Brothers variety show in 1967 was hailed as a nail in the coffin of the blacklist. But CBS cut out his Vietnam protest song, “Waist Deep in the Big Muddy,’’ and Seeger accused the network of censorship. By the 1990s, no longer a party member but still styling himself a communist

“I love the summer festival season,” beams Vancouver’s roots-rock-reggae songslinger Buckman Coe. “One of my all-time favourite festivals is the Starbelly Jam in Crawford Bay. There’s always an incredible line-up of artists – an incredibly positive, inclusive vibe; kids, youth, adults, grandparents. Love that festival, and the Koots are one of our favourite places in the world.” And with that smiling joy awaiting the return of summer, Buckman Coe and his crackerjack band are set to ignite the upcoming Midwinter Party at the Byng Roadhouse this Thursday, Jan. 30. The current polar vortex is causing deep-freeze havoc across the country, and it gives a touring musician like Buckman Coe reason to be cautious. But with B.C.

Buckman Coe will be lighting up the Byng Roadhouse in Cranbrook Thursday, Jan. 30. seemingly the least-affected province this unusual winter, Coe’s optimistic outlook never fails. “I always worry, leading up to a winter tour,” he admits, “and then we get on the
road and we’re blessed with good weather. During this B.C. tour it’s been incredibly mild. Not sure if it’s global warming or what, but sometimes it feels like a Spring tour.”
With a sound embracing Jack Johnson and Ben Harper as much as Bob Marley or Peter Tosh, Buckman Coe is one of B.C.’s foremost party bands. His current album ‘Crow’s Nest’ has been described as “an unrelentingly positive, accomplished triumph.” “I’m not strictly rootsrock-reggae. My writing’s still informed by folk, soul, psychedelia and whatever else grabs my fancy. Most of my audience is in B.C. and a bit down the West Coast, simply because this is where I’ve been most active. There’s a tendency for the Canadian music scene to be dominated by folk, country-rock, and indie rock. It’s more inclusive of world or reggae sounds in the West, but even still I’m finding that my style is under-represented in B.C. as well. This can be an advantage; I’ve found
that people are dance-hungry for something different than the majority of what most bands are playing!” And far from wearing himself down into a tired, jaded cynic, the ongoing road life seems to suit him just fine. “The independent, regional, genre-specific music industry is stronger than it’s ever been,” Coe said. “There’s been a democratization of the music industry, and bands can record and promote themselves much easier than ever before. With my music and my message, this independence serves me well. Things get better each year!” Buckman Coe performs his Midwinter Dance Party this coming Thursday Jan. 30 at the Byng Roadhouse (21 Cranbrook St. N., Cranbrook BC); showtime 9 p.m.
with a small C, Seeger was heaped with national honours. Seeger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 as an early influence. Seeger’s sometimes ambivalent relationship with rock was most famously on display when Dylan “went electric’’ at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Witnesses say Seeger became furious backstage as the amped-up band played, though just how furious is debated. Seeger dismissed the legendary tale that he looked for an axe to cut Dylan’s sound cable, and said his objection was not to the type of music but only that the guitar mix was so loud you couldn’t hear Dylan’s words. Seeger was born in New York City on May 3, 1919, into an artistic family whose roots traced to religious dissenters of colonial America. His mother, Constance, played violin and taught; his father, Charles, a musicologist, was a consultant to the Resettlement Administration, which gave artists work during the Depression. His uncle Alan Seeger, the poet, wrote “I Have a Rendezvous With Death.’’ He learned the five-string banjo, an instrument he rescued from obscurity and played the rest of his life in a long-necked version of his own design. On the skin of Seeger’s banjo was the phrase, “This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender’’ — a nod to his old pal Guthrie, who emblazoned his guitar with “This machine kills fascists.’’ Dropping out of Harvard in 1938 after two years as a disillusioned sociology major, he hit the road, picking up folk tunes as he hitchhiked or hopped freights. In 1940, with Guthrie and others, he was part of the Almanac Singers and performed benefits for disaster relief and other causes. He and Guthrie also toured migrant camps and union halls. He sang on overseas radio broadcasts for the Office of War Information early in World War II. In the Army, he spent 3 1/2 years in Special Services, entertaining soldiers in the South Pacific, and made corporal. He married Toshi Seeger on July 20, 1943. The couple built their cabin in Beacon after World War II and stayed on the high spot of land by the Hudson River for the rest of their lives together. The couple raised three children. Toshi Seeger died in July at age 91.
