The proposal for a new Cranbrook homeless shel-ter will be scaled back after the B.C. government said there is no funding available at this time.

In a letter to Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski on Nov. 27, Rich Coleman, Minister Responsible for Housing, wrote: “The Province does not current-ly have a funding program available to support the proposed shelter. We have an obligation to work within budgetary con-straints and for this rea-son, unable to provide funding for the project at this time.”

The Salvation Army and the Cranbrook and District Community Foun-dation submitted a pro-posal for a $16.6 million homeless shelter to B.C. Housing in fall 2011. The proposed facility would include 15 overnight beds for men and 15 for women; 16 second-floor units for stays up to two years; 16 third-floor units for stays

longer than two years; and four family units with three bedrooms in each.

Besides housing, the facility will have a com-mercial kitchen and cafe-teria, and space for ameni-ties such as hair cuts, ac-cess to computers and counselling.

The shelter would be built on land donated by the Salvation Army in Slat-erville. The City of Cran-brook is waiving develop-ment cost charges. The Regional District of East Kootenay has agreed to provide $250,000 to the cause. But it all hinges on B.C. government funding.

The F.W. Green Medical Cen-tre sent out 1,100 letters which effectively ended many Cran-brook residents’ access to a family doctor.

The clinic has served notice to patients of Dr. Stuart Macdonald that they will no longer have a family doctor as of March 1, 2014.

Dr. Macdonald left his family medical practice to work full-time in the emergency department at the East Kootenay Regional Hos-pital back in July 2013.

The letter, signed by Alderson, notes that while physicians at the centre have been work-ing to find a replace-ment for Macdonald, a permanent replace-ment has not been re-cruited.

“We have appreciat-ed the privilege of being involved in your medi-cal care,” the letter states, “however, as of March 1, 2014 you will no longer have access to medical treatment at

the F.W. Green Medical Centre.”

Bev Evanchu has been going to the clinic since she and her hus-band moved to Cran-brook in 1978 from the Coast.

She was not happy to hear that come March

they would no longer have a family doctor.

“It was wrong of them to let him go with-out making sure that there was somebody in place to begin with, es-pecially knowing the situation of how many people in this area are

without a doctor,” Evan-chu said, adding that finding out about the dismissal from the clin-ic was akin to being dumped.

“It’s been a long as-sociation with that clin-ic and now we’re being told: ‘Sorry, you’re not

welcome here,’” she said.

For Evanchu, being able to see a duty doctor at the clinic would alle-viate many of the issues, as the only other option, if no spaces open in clinics, is to go to emer-gency for things like

prescription renewals and check-ups for her husband, who has been diagnosed with cancer.

Caroline Johnson also received a letter. Hers arrived on Mon-day.

“Having to go up to emergency to get a pre-scription filled is a waste of the patient and emer-gency staff ’s time,” Johnson said.

“It’s mind-boggling.”She said she under-

stands that Cranbrook is not the only commu-nity suffering a doctor shortage.

“It’s only going to get worse here, because there are a number of doctors who are nearing retirement age,” she said.

“Until it hits you per-sonally, you don’t really understand the im-pact.”

The letter encourag-es patients to go to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia’s website to find information on lo-cating family physicians accepting new patients in Cranbrook. However upon search through the list of physicians there doesn’t appear to be any in Cranbrook ac-cepting patients. The F.W. Green Medical Centre follows the col-lege’s guidelines.

In council on Mon-day, Coun. Sharon Cross spoke briefly on the issue, noting it had come up during a re-cent urban governance meeting she had at-tended.

Cross said she was disheartened to hear about the 1,100 letters going out to patients that will no longer have a doctor in the commu-nity.

“So we not only have a shortage of GPs (gen-eral practitioners), but that is being com-pounded,” Cross said.

She noted that there is a need for something creative to happen.

Truck theft, Sullivan pub break-in likely relatedC A RO LYN G R A N T

Daily Bulletin

Kimberley RCMP are looking for a white 2006 Ford F-350 truck, which was not only stolen early morning January 20, but is likely relat-ed to a break and enter, says RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel.

Newel says Kimberley RCMP received a report of a stolen truck on the morning of Sunday, Jan. 20 when the owner discovered it missing. A short time later, police re-ceived a report of a break and enter to the office of the Sullivan Pub on Ross Street.

“A subject entered an of-fice upstairs of the pub at approximately 4:30 a.m.,” Newel said. “Once inside, he removed a black fire safe and departed. Video surveillance showed a white pickup truck and police believe it to be the one stolen. The safe only

contained personal papers.”Newel says the suspect

may have known the loca-tion of the safe.

“I can’t say from the video. But we do believe the person knew it was there be-cause nothing else was touched or stolen.”

Police are asking anybody with information or anyone who sees the vehicle to call RCMP at 250-427-4811. The truck has license plate DN9692 and a “Pioneer 107” badge on the front as an identifier for Forest Service Road use.

Bennett suggested a meeting with B.C. Hous-ing to scale down the project.

“It seems to be the minister’s main concern is the cost per square foot, so we are trying to reduce that cost per square foot of the build-ing,” said Cook.

“We are looking at going back to the two-storey building we initially put forward.”

Doing that would take out the extended stay units and family units, but keep the over-night shelter beds, and units for stays of up to two years. The proposal

may also be altered to remove the requirement that the facility be built to LEED Gold standards.

Ironically, it was B.C. Housing, an agency of the Ministry of Housing, that initially suggested the homeless shelter be expanded to include a third storey with ex-tended stay units.

“It has caused a bit of heartburn over the last year and a half,” said Cook.

“They are the ones who wanted us to add it,” added Green. “So we are going to discuss with them: what do you want us to do?

“We are going to have some open and very frank discussions with them, as we have had all along. They have been very good.

“We want this proj-ect to go, Bill wants this project to go, the home-less people need this project to go, we’ve lived through five win-ters since then, so let’s do what we’ve got to do to make this work.”

MLA Bennett, Minis-ter of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsi-ble for the Core Review, said that Coleman’s let-ter is not a final answer.

“It was a statement of our capacity to fund

Shelter will be built, proponents insist

capital at the time,” said Bennett.

He remains commit-ted to seeing the facility come to fruition.

“I did meet recently with Captain Kirk and Neil and I reiterated my support for the project as my number-one pri-ority for Cranbrook.

“I will keep working on finding funds for this. We are in a very chal-lenging time for money. Our government is com-mitted to balancing the budget and so very few capital projects are being approved.”

The homeless shelter project was born in Jan-uary 2009, and went through two years of planning and commu-nity consultation before the project was submit-ted for approval.

“We understand that this project has been five years in develop-ment, and the economy has gone through a major reset in North America. The reality is that B.C. Housing is now looking at ways to try and serve the need in

Cranbrook, but at the same time not break the bank,” said Cook.

Donations for the shelter project continue to roll in from the East Kootenay community to the community founda-tion and Salvation Army. Green said that over the holidays alone, $10,000 was donated to the facility through the Salvation Army.

Green said he re-mains confident that the homeless facility will eventually be ap-proved.

“We are assured that at some point this proj-ect is going to go ahead. We are very thankful for the support that (B.C. Housing is) giving us, and especially our local MLA, who is very much behind the project and is trying everything he can.”

“Stick with us. We are going to get this thing built,” added Cook.

“We understand that this project has been

five years in development, and the economy has gone through a

major reset in North America. The reality

is that B.C. Housing is now looking at ways to try and serve the need in Cranbrook,

but at the same time not break the bank.”

It would be interesting to know just what tidbits of information the US National Security Agency’s eaves-

dropping has turned up on United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon. He cer-tainly caved in very fast: on Sunday he invit-ed Iran to join the long-delayed peace talks aimed at ending the three-year-old civil war in Syria; on Sunday evening the United States loudly ob-jected, and on Monday he obediently uninvited Iran.

So the peace talks get underway in Switzerland this week after all, and the omens for peace are not that bad. Unless, of course, you were also hoping for the overthrow of the brutal regime of Bashar al-Assad and the emergence of a democratic Syria, in which case the omens are positively awful.

The breakthrough may not happen at Geneva this week, but the Russians and the Americans are now on the same side (although the US cannot yet bring itself to say publicly that it is backing Assad). More-over, some of the rebels are getting ready to change sides. It won’t be fast and it won’t be pretty, but there’s a decent chance that peace, in the shape of an Assad victory, will return to Syria within a year or two.

What has made this possible is the ji-hadis, the fanatical extremists of the al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, who have frightened both the United States and a great many ordi-

nary Syrians into seeing Assad’s regime as the lesser evil.

Two years ago, it still seemed possible that Assad could lose. The rebels had the support of the United States, Turkey and powerful Sunni Arab states like Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and they still talked about a democratic, inclusive Syria. Assad’s only

friends were Iran, Russia and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

But then the jihadis showed up, alienating local people with their extreme version of sharia law and scaring the pants off the United States with their al-legiance to al-Qaeda. It

took the United States quite a while to admit to itself that it does not actually want Assad to fall if that means putting the ji-hadis in power, but it has finally grasped the concept.

More recently, a “war-within-the-war” has broken out among the rebels, with the secular groups fighting the jihadis and the jihadi groups fighting among themselves. So far in January more people have been killed in this internecine rebel war (over a thousand) than in the war against the re-gime. And the US and Russia are working on a deal that would swing a lot of the non-jihadi rebels over to the regime’s side.

General Salim Idris, the commander of the Free Syrian Army (the main non-jihadi force on the battlefield), said last month that he and his allies were dropping the

demand that Assad must leave power be-fore the Geneva meeting convened. In-stead, they would be content for Assad to go at the end of the negotiation process, at which time the FSA’s forces would join with those of the regime in an offensive against the Islamists.

He was actually signalling that The Free Syrian Army is getting ready to change sides. There will have to be amnesties and financial rewards for those who change sides, of course, but these things are easily arranged. And Assad will not leave power “at the end of the negotiation process.”

The jihadis are not at Geneva this week, of course; just the Russians and the Amer-icans, and the Assad regime and the Syrian National coalition (the Free Syrian Army’s political front), and a few odds and sods to make up the numbers. It is an ideal envi-ronment for the regime and the secular rebels to discuss quietly how they might make a deal, with their Russian and Amer-ican big brothers in attendance to smooth the path.

The fighting in Syria will continue for many months, even if a joint front of the regime and the FSA is formed to drive out the foreign extremists and eliminate the native-born ones. In practice the end game will probably be even more ragged than that, with all sorts of local rebel groups trying to cut their own deals or holding out until the bitter end. But the final outcome has become clear, and it is no longer years away.

Ready to change sides in Syria

Even though the IIHF World Junior Champi-onship has come and gone, the disappoint-ment of a fourth place finish is still fresh for Ryan McGill, who served as an assistant coach to Team Canada.

The Kootenay Ice bench boss has rejoined his club team, but he hasn’t stopped thinking about what could have been at the world’s pre-mier international U20 tournament, hosted by Sweden over the Christ-mas break.

“Really what it boils down to is the disap-pointment of being a flat hockey team against the Finns in the semifinal game and we’re still ana-lyzing why that is and I don’t know the answers will come out yet,” said McGill.

“I think that’s going to take some time, some reflection and obviously reflection by coaches, re-flection by Hockey Can-ada management and officials, and hopefully we can come up with some answers on how to not let that happen.”

The Canadians lost their third straight semi-final game at the tourna-ment in a 5-1 loss to Team Finland, which went on to capture the gold medal. Team Cana-da then drew the Rus-sians for the bronze-medal match, losing 2-1 to finish fourth for the second straight year.

Canada finished on

top of their group stand-ings after round robin play, with only one 5-4 shootout loss to the Czech Republic after the tournament began on Boxing Day.

Heading into the elimination games, Can-ada downed the Swiss 4-1 before going up against the eventual champions in Team Fin-land, which scored three times in the second peri-od on their way to a 5-1 win.

“I thought we did get better every day in a lot of areas, and one area that we’re obviously dis-appointed in, is that we fell short, but we didn’t

fall short because of lack of execution—we fell short for whatever rea-son that we were flat, and we gave up a couple untimely goals,” said McGill.

“In a tournament like that, it’s so important that you have that nar-row focus shift to shift, and I know it sounds like a cliche, but it really isn’t, because you don’t have time to recover like a seven-game series, so

you have to be really sharp in your narrow focus.”

After a five-year run of winning gold, Team Canada has two silvers, a bronze, and a pair of fourth place finishes. For the last four years, a dif-ferent country has won the tournament, a sign of the parity between all the teams—especially the European squads.

“They’ve caught up,” noted McGill. “Canada was put on a pedestal for many years—rightfully so—and a lot of these European teams are now modelling them-selves after the Canadi-an way.

“I think, now, that there’s so much parity in the world with teams, that Canada doesn’t have the upper hand on all these countries any-more. We’re all on a level playing field.”

Team Canada has 11 players eligible for next year’s roster, however, Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart and Barrie Colts defenceman Aaron Ekblad are top-rated prospects that could be playing in the NHL, which would make their return ques-tionable.

Canada is home to the tournament next year as Montreal and To-ronto will share hosting duties.

MONTREAL - Anthony Calvillo isn’t sure where he’ll be when the Montreal Alouettes open training camp in June.

He just knows that for the first time since ‘98 he won’t be on the field in his teal-coloured No. 13 practice jersey throwing balls to S.J. Green, Jamel Rich-ardson and the other receivers.

The 41-year-old who rewrote the CFL record book for quarter-backs announced his retirement Tuesday following an illustrious 20-year career. It’s an end Calvil-lo knew was coming when he missed the final 10 games of the regular season with a concus-sion.

“My mind was pretty much made up at the end of the sea-son that I wanted to retire,” said Calvillo. “I went on holidays to think about it but I was 99 per cent sure.

“In my mind I’ve moved on. The process of being hurt helped me go through the tran-sition. So when June comes around, I don’t know where I’ll be.”

Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith, who got a crash course on Canadian football after signing with Montreal in August, is pegged as the new starter. That’s a position Calvillo held since 2000 after signing with the Alouettes as Tracy Ham’s understudy two years

earlier.Calvillo leaves as pro foot-

ball’s most prolific passer (79,816 yards) and the CFL’s all-time leader in completions (5,892), attempts (9,437) and TD strikes (455). A spot in the Cana-dian Football Hall of Fame sure-ly awaits.

The five-time CFL all-star also holds records for comple-tions in one game (44), most 300-yard contests (125) and 4,000-yard seasons (11). Calvillo also holds most Grey Cup game records, including passing yards (2,470).

Calvillo led Montreal to eight Grey Cup appearances, winning in 2002, 2009 and 2010.

Owner Robert Wetenhall

called Calvillo a “good and de-cent man” who was “arguably one of the great players in the history of professional football.”

In a statement, CFL commis-sioner Mark Cohon called Calvillo “more than one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. He is one of the most remarkable people to ever grace our league.”

Calvillo has a spot waiting for him on the Alouettes coaching staff, but he plans to take the summer off before looking at coaching in 2015. For now, he is working on two online courses to get the final credits he needs to complete the degree he started at Utah State University before he turned pro.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you wake up feeling tired, don’t be surprised -- your dreams probably have been unusually vivid. You might want to back away from a situation, especially if your intuition points that way. A gesture you make could backfire. Be careful. To-night: Avoid an argument. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Juggling several different inter-ests likely will succeed, but try not to allow details to fall by the wayside. Others admire your ability to put the final touches on a project. Refuse to accept any other responsibilities for now. Tonight: Pace yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance whom you care a lot about. Listen to your inner voice before you cause yourself a problem with a loved one. Com-munication soars, and perhaps too much will be shared. Use your high energy well. Tonight: Romance blooms.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be taken aback by someone’s efforts to change direction. How you feel in the company of a loved one could be very different from how you might have thought you’d feel. This person understands and indulges you more often than not. Tonight: Run some errands on the way home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are likely to say what you mean, which could startle sever-al people. News heads your way that might put a different slant on a personal matter. Don’t hes-itate to take action. Make a call, and seek out more information. Tonight: In the swing of the mo-ment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware of the costs of pro-ceeding as you have been. A child or new friend will let you know what he or she wants in no uncertain terms. You might be able to bypass a power play and need to do nothing. Tonight: Use caution with your funds and a potential expenditure. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Claim your power by knowing what you want. Until you are sure of your direction, you need not do anything. A loved one could act in a most unexpected way. Step back and let the chips fall where they may. Tonight: Make a call, and treat a friend to dinner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to withdraw, as volatile news heads your way. Until you have a complete grasp of the situation, this disengage-ment will feel right. Don’t push so hard to have your way. To-night: Don’t swallow your anger; instead, express it in a way that can be heard. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Focus on what you want and ex-pect from a situation. You have many options that could work well for you, but you must know your goal in order to make the right choice. A partner or loved one might throw a lot of possi-bilities at you. Tonight: Where the gang is. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might have no choice except to assume the helm of the ship.

The results could be excellent because of your experience and drive. A partner will add to the commotion in your life without even realizing it. Instead of getting irritated, enjoy the mo-ment. Tonight: Work late. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The key to making a situation work will be gaining a broader perspective. Detach, as diffi-cult as it might be and despite someone’s attempt to pull you into the action. Someone at a distance could make a strong statement that shocks you. To-night: Go where you can relax. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be in a situation that typically would push you and cause a temper tantrum or an argument. The smart move is to detach. An unexpected financial matter might force you to re-think a commitment. Share your feelings with a trusted friend. Tonight: Dinner for two. BORN TODAY Statesman Francis Bacon (1561), actor Bill Bixby (1934), actress Diane Lane (1965) ***

Dear Annie: A couple of years ago, you published my letter signed “No-Win Situa-tion in Wisconsin.” My wife and I had been sharing a vacation with another couple, and I witnessed the husband kiss my wife on the lips as they left. You said if I trust my wife, not to worry about it. After you printed my letter, I wrote this couple a half-sincere “take the high road” letter, admitting I could have been wrong about interpreting that kiss and invited them to come for dinner and stay over. They never replied. But a month later, they drove into town and met my wife for lunch while I was at work. The husband asked my wife wheth-er I felt “neglected.” How smug is that? A couple of weeks later, my wife and I cele-brated our 25th anniversary at a lovely vaca-tion spot, and a week later, she stayed over-night at this couple’s home while visiting a mutual friend who was ill. I am getting the distinct message that I am the one with the problem, and there-fore, I can be completely bypassed when she makes decisions involving this couple. While I do not feel it would be right to ask my wife to close the door on this friendship, that last visit had me losing sleep. I wrote my wife a letter about my feelings, and even though I realize their relationship could be nothing, it still upsets me. Now that this husband has retired, I fear the pace will quicken in his efforts to put our friendship back where it was, but whatever my insecurities and shortcomings, I get an-gry just thinking about it. Am I making sense or just going bananas? -- More Maine Mad-ness Dear Maine: We doubt anything untoward is going on, but your wife is deliberately dis-regarding your feelings. She thinks you are being foolish, and so she ignores you. This makes you feel marginalized and angry. Please stop writing letters and simply talk to your wife. Tell her gently that seeing this couple behind your back only makes you distrust her, and that eats away at the core of your marriage. Tell her you will back off if she will be more respectful of your feelings. Dear Annie: My wonderful husband de-livers oil to people’s homes and works hard keeping homes toasty and warm throughout the winter. It is a demanding job, but for the most part, he enjoys it. The problem is, some customers don’t plow or shovel paths to their tanks. Their driveways are cleared and the paths to their bird feeders, but my husband has to pull a heavy hose through knee-deep snow to reach the tanks. By the time he gets home, he is soaked up to his thighs, cold and exhausted. This is enough to make anyone cranky. He sure would appreciate it if people could make his job easier by shoveling a path to their tank. -- Please Be Kind Dear Please: Thank you for reminding our readers that any service people who need to have access to outside areas of their homes should not get lost in a snowdrift because the path isn’t plowed. This is not only for the person who delivers oil. It’s also the postal carrier, the meter reader and the cable re-pairman. If you know someone is coming, please see that they can get there. Dear Annie: I totally agree with “I Need Nice Clothes, Too.” The bigger sizes are tucked into the furthest corner of the store, the selection is small, the styles are horren-dous, the sleeves are too tight and the tops are too short. My other complaint is that the large-size models don’t look like me. They are tall with flat stomachs. I am 5 feet 4 and the grand-mother of four. There are a lot of older, ma-ture women with money to spend, so I hope the manufacturers start listening. -- Inver-ness, Fla.
