Cranbrook could be on the forefront of a burgeoning medical marijuana industry.
Dycar Pharmaceuti-cals, a private B.C. in-corporated company, recently announced its plans, well underway, to establish a licensed commercial facility in the city’s industrial
zone.The proposed facility
will be located in an ex-isting 86,000 square foot building. The facility will house the growing operations and the head office. Dycar noted it will employ up to 200 people at full produc-tion and estimates the facility will be an $8 mil-lion investment.
Dylen Wannop, the president and CEO of Dycar Pharmaceuticals Ltd, said the company has been working with city officials and plan-ners for the past 14 months, noting for in-stance, Kevin Weaver, the city’s Business and
Economic Develop-ment Manager.
“We’ve been kind of keeping things low key, because it is a process what we’ve been doing,” Wannop said. “And un-fortunately there are no guarantees.”
He said they are con-fident they will be able to put this facility to-gether.
The facility would be licensed under Health Canada’s Marjuana for Medical Purposes Reg-ulations.
“We were your typi-cally Ma and Pa desig-nated growers for the last 12 years and we are trying to get into what’s
called the big boys mar-ket,” he said.
Wannop said the ap-plication is in and com-plete and they are wait-ing for the review. The company is working with Vancouver con-sulting firm Archer Adler Solutions Inc.
“Every time Health Canada has made a new requirement for the ap-plication, it is in our ap-plication,” Wannop said. “It can’t be any more complete than what it is.”

For the Bulletin
February 16th is Her-itage Day in B.C. and this year’s theme is “Main Street – At The Heart of the Communi-ty”.
Historically speak-ing, Kimberley’s main street is Spokane Street, as it was the first street in the newly named Kimberley in 1896. Spo-kane Street was part of the North Star Wagon Road or McGinty Trail, used to haul ore from the North Star, Stem-winder and Sullivan Mines to North Star Landing on the Koote-nay River from 1892 to 1898.
Many of the build-ings we see today date back to the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. For in-stance, what once was the North Star Hotel, built in 1898, currently houses The Butterfly Garden Restaurant and the Green Door on the main floor with apart-ments above.
Arguably the most well-known building is the former Fields store. This was originally built by Charles Estmere in 1919 and measured 30 feet wide by 60 feet long. The Consolidated Min-ing & Smelting Compa-ny (later Cominco), pur-chased it in September of 1920 and became the Mark Creek Store. Due to increasing demand its width was increased to 60 feet and in 1928 the length was increased to 120 feet. Enlarged again in 1937, pushing out past the back alley to a length of 170 feet.
Social functions and organizational activities were always supported by the store. The loan-ing, free of charge, of dishes, tables and chairs to community groups putting on an afternoon tea to raise funds for a worthy cause. Kimber-ley Library’s first loca-tion was in a room with shelves on the upper floor. When the Singer Sewing Machine Com-pany offered a sewing course, for a small fee, the Mark Creek Store of-fered to pay half the fee, as well as providing a room for the course.
The Company sold the store in 1952 to the Hudson’s Bay Compa-ny. The Bay expanded the store in 1954, when the old Post Office was
torn down, creating the familiar walkway to the parking lot we have today.
In 1969 it became a Fields Store, occupying the same square footage as the Bay. This closed in the late 1980’s and the building was sold. The
new owners divided the interior space on the main floor for a mall, while the second floor remained unused. The second Fields Store opened in and occupied approximately half of the main floor. As we all know, this too closed in
2012.What is the future of
this historic building and others like it which hold so many memories of our community? Per-haps the answer lies in their past history as vi-brant parts of our com-munity.

From page 1Upon federal ap-
proval of Dycar’s plans, Health Canada will pro-vide a “Letter of Autho-rization to Build”. Wan-nop said they expect
that to be awarded in late spring, 2015.
Construction of the facilities, as well as hir-ing and training are ex-pected to take four or five months after the au-
thorization is granted by Health Canada. The company expects that production could start in the fourth quarter of 2015.

For the Bulletin
Kimberley Alpine Team (KAT) held a ski race Jan 31 and Feb 1 with the support of Kim-berley Alpine Resort and Teck.
Ten clubs and over 130 racers from Manito-ba to Rossland compet-ed in Giant Slalom (GS), and night slalom. KAT racers, several who had just started racing, were awarded for personal best and top ten.
The highlight of the event was the night sla-lom. Kimberley Alpine Resort provided great music, a laser light show and sled rides to the top of the course for the fi-nalists. Athletes, coaches and parents raced the dual slalom course for a chance to race again and ultimately to win! Katie Clark, KAT racer and one of the night slalom win-ners has skied in both the Alberta and BC divi-sions. She said, “I have never had so much FUN! Racing head to head with my friends into a crowd with music and a light show WOW!”
For the past several years, son Marc Rath-poller has worked alongside. He has now moved to a chef’s position in Cranbrook.
Friend and fellow Rotarian Arne Sahlen says that the Rathpoller’s retirement is a loss for Kimberley.
“For two and a half decades Peter and An-namaria Rathpoller have provided excellent cuisine, first-rate service and iconic ‘spirit of Kimberley’ care to their grateful patrons.
“Community events beyond counting have succeeded thanks to the food, food-service supplies, electrical service and more that spread out from 240 Spokane Street — carried out by the Rathpoller’s and their staff, or hauled out by volunteers allowed and wel-comed to tramp in and out in any weather. The Gasthaus proprietors handed it all out willingly and cheerfully, with a focus not on gaining publicity but on eager service as com-munity citizens.”
Peter and Annamaria have no solid plans for retirement, except to remain in Kimberley.
“We’ve had some great times here in Kim-berley. It was fantastic. Annamaria and I must have done something right or we wouldn’t have been around so long.

Geoff, old friend:I feel so sorry that you never made it
here to visit us, and climb with us in this lovely valley. I know you’ve been to the Himalayas but, as you told me, you really didn’t do much there because of the pol-itics and those companions of yours who wandered over into Chi-nese territory and caused all the ruckus.
I know that you and I with the gang had at least one season in the Alps at Chamonix, but being able to live here at the foot of the Rocky Mountains has been a wonderful experience.
If you had managed to visit us, I most certainly would have tried to bring you in from the west, from Vancouver. Most friends and relatives that came here did so by way of Calgary and they most cer-tainly enjoyed the drive through the Rockies and the national parks but they missed the joyful sight of the Rockies and Fisher peak that you get when you drive from the Coast. When almost here in Cranbrook, you would have come past deep, chilly Moyie Lake and then, sud-denly, the valley would have opened be-fore your eyes and you’d have seen why we chose to live here.
To the west of Cranbook and our neighbouring town Kimberley are the Purcell Mountains which, in many places
even taller than the local Rockies, lie back and present wooded hills, long meander-ing valleys with snowy peaks in the dis-tance. To the east stand the Rockies, the long ridge of the Steeples, the arrowhead of Fisher Peak, the aptly named Teepee and ridges continuing along beside the
valley and the roads north.When we first came to
live here, there had been a great deal of mining, much of it during the war, and many companies were still logging the forests and so there were dirt roads going up almost every valley. If
we took care to keep out eyes open as to the activities of the logging trucks, we could use those roads and get into the heart of the mountains and find ways up them. In many of the upper basins there was little evidence of anybody having been there before us. We followed game trails and found our own ways. They were exciting days.
I well remember entertaining Dick’s visiting daughter Caroline and naming a tiny lake after her. We swam in that lake but she stayed in the frigid water for ages. It was only later that we found out that she had a job teaching scuba diving in the sea off Scotland. My cousin Ron stayed with us and he had the thrill of watching four grizzlies cross our path as we drove up a steep, eroded road. My
cousin’s daughter, a real Londoner called Elaine, followed us along the ridge be-yond the Lakit Lookout one day until we heard her plaintive cries of “’Ere, Wite for me!” We waited.
The Simpsons, Alan and Joan enjoyed themselves and we spent several sunlit days with them on the ridges, the only real excitement being that Joan got her foot wedged in between some rocks and we had to cut off her boot.
We’ve climbed almost all of the peaks in this area except, maybe, some of those crumbling ones in the middle of the Stee-ples. Some folk claim that they’ve tra-versed the lot, but I not sure.
The odd thing is: almost all of our mountain friends have been immigrants as we were. When we first arrived here the locals rarely ventured into the moun-tains unless prospecting for minerals or, more likely, hunting. I recall one fellow watching us through his binoculars as we yelled and screamed, glissading down a steep snow-slope and then, when we got to him, being baffled because we were neither hunting nor prospecting.
But things have changed over the last sixty years. The once almost deserted mountains have tracks all over the place and, on a sunny weekend in summer, the local Rockies can crawl with people like downtown Vancouver.
You missed the halcyon days, old friend. Pity.

The situation can’t get much worse for the College of the Rockies Avalanche men’s volley-ball team. With a pair of losses to the Columbia Bible College Bearcats this past weekend, the Avs have dorpped seven consecutive matches and sit in the PACWEST basement.
Friday, the Avs bat-tled but came up short in a five-sets loss (16-25, 25-16, 17-25, 25-18, 11-15) to the Bearcats.
Saturday, the visitors made quick work of the hosts in a straight-sets sweep (11-25, 18-25, 22-25).
“Mentally, we’re de-flated. We have to start over again being one
[set] down,” said Avs as-sistant coach John Swan-son on Saturday. “Whether we win or lose, it’s just how we play. You can lose by making posi-tive mistakes, or trying to play aggressively. But when you’re playing passively or afraid -- that just sets the tone for the match.
“Give the guys credit. In the second and third sets, they became more competitive. But why that first set is that way -- it’s a maturation pro-cess; it’s a mental tough-ness kind of process and it’s what we’ve been working on all year. It’s still a work in progress, obviously.”
In 18 matches to date, the Avalanche have only managed to win their first set four times.
This weekend, the Avs welcome the fifth-place University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cas-cades to Cranbrook in hopes of finding a way into the win column for the first time since a five-sets victory over Capila-no University Nov. 29.
While the men con-tinue to struggle, the Lady Avs continue to build on unprecedented success.
Head coach Andrew Zurrin’s group improved to 9-9 with a pair of straight-sets victories over the Bearcats this past weekend (25-20, 25-20, 25-13 - Friday; 25-21, 25-20, 25-20 - Saturday).
“If we played clean and hit enough balls, we knew we could take [the Bearcats] out,” Zurrin said Saturday. “They
only had one real weap-on. I knew their lineup -- we matched up well against it. “
Zurrin was forced to draw from his bench Saturday, with injuries to a number of his regu-lar starters. The depth of
Zurrin’s squad was on display, giving the Lady Avs’ bench boss confi-dence moving forward.
“Not only were we a tight team before, but we have become a bet-ter, full team because everybody has contrib-
uted,” Zurrin said. “Ev-erybody knows they have self-worth as an Avalanche player.”
The Lady Avs face UFV this weekend, trail-ing the Cascades by two points in the standings. A pair of victories would
vault the Lady Avs into fourth place in the PACWEST.
The ladies hit the court at 6 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. Saturday.
The men provide the encore at 8 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday.

Less than six weeks ago, Jared Marchi thought he might not be able to suit up for the Kimberley Dynamiters again during the 2014-15 KIJHL season.
Tuesday, the 19-year-old was back with the Nitros on home ice for the first time since that frightening moment, scoring the game-win-ning goal in a critical 7-2 victory over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats.
“It’s a great feeling to be back,” Marchi said Tuesday. “It’s exciting. I honestly can’t explain it.”
In the dying minutes of a 2-1 loss to the Fernie Ghostriders Dec. 29, Marchi crashed into the boards before being wheeled off the Fernie Memorial Arena ice on a stretcher.
“Extremely painful and it wasn’t fun,” Mar-chi recalled. “At that point, I was just really worried as to whether I’d be able to play hock-ey again for the rest of the year, or even skate.”
What Marchi didn’t know at the time was he had suffered a pelvic in-jury that, in spite of the excruciating pain, would only keep him out of the lineup for nine games through the month of January.
Marchi, a part of the Nitros leadership core, made his return to duty Jan. 30 in Creston. He credited his physiothera-pist as well as the Dyna-miters bench staff for his quick return to action.
Marchi cashed in on a shorthanded, two-on-one opportunity, taking a pass from captain Jason Richter, to put his team ahead 3-0 in the first period Tuesday. The goal stood as the game-winner and the Nitros built a five-point lead on the Thunder Cats for second place in the Eddie Mountain Di-vision and home ice ad-vantage in the first round of the KIJHL playoffs.
“He’s pretty much our heart and soul,” Richter said of Marchi. “He’s one of our hardest working guys. He’s reli-able out there. You know when he’s out there that he’s not going to make many mistakes because he is such a good player and such a veteran play-er. He’s got tons of expe-rience in the league. It’s definitely nice having him back.”
Marchi wrapped up the night with a goal and an assist. Since his return Jan. 30, the 5-foot-11 for-ward has chipped in with two goals and four points in three games.
Richter chipped in
with two assists, pushing his way into a tie for the KIJHL scoring lead with 36 goals and 62 points through 48 games.
The Cranbrook native is tied atop the leader-board with Fernie Ghostrider Doan Smith (35-37-62), who was in-jured this past weekend and out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.
“I try not to think about it. I could really care less if I win [the scoring race] or not,” Richter said. “It’s all about the team and how many points the team gets. We just want home-ice advantage.”
The Nitros host Fern-ie Friday at 7 p.m.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will be coming off of an un-usually busy period, where you felt as though you were going from one problematic area to another. Know that you don’t have to push yourself so hard in the future. Be smart and relax. Tonight: Let off some steam. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be in a position where you want to break away from it all. On some level, your reaction to pressure is part of what causes so many challeng-ing situations. Try to assume a more laissez faire attitude, and you will be a lot happier. To-night: Head home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have a lot to say, and you are going to say it. The prob-lem lies in the fact that no one is likely to really absorb the meaning behind your words. You might have to repeat your-self several times, which could make you feel extremely frus-trated. Tonight: Hang out.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are full of energy and fun; however, your finances could spiral out of control. Some form of overindulgence is likely to rear its ugly head. You probably won’t even thinking about what you are doing. Don’t worry -- no one is perfect. Tonight: Your treat. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be running on fumes, but you’ll be enjoying every moment. It wouldn’t hurt to stop and relish this period. If you have something of signifi-cance to do, do it. Just don’t be surprised if you have to repeat the process again later. Tonight: Let your charisma speak. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to get away from your daily routine. Choose a relaxing activity that you en-joy. Consider taking a nap or going to a movie. It’s important that you not exert too much physical effort to complete what you want done. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Friends surround you, which
will make it easy to enjoy your-self and get into the moment. You might be questioning what would best to do under the circumstances. Let go of any doubts you have, and you will feel a lot better. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Realize that you are in the lime-light and your actions will be observed. Even if you believe otherwise, the truth will reveal itself soon enough. Do only what you must today. It would be wise not to start a new proj-ect. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out to someone at a dis-tance who means a lot to you. Make time to catch up on this person’s news. You might want to think carefully about some of what you are hearing. Why not make plans to see each other soon? Tonight: Let your imagi-nation choose. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) An associate or loved one is like-ly to take charge. Kick back and enjoy a day off. Of course it will
be hard to release your need for control, but if you don’t, you could have a power play on your hands. Take some extra time to visit with a friend. Tonight: To-getherness works. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Defer to others, and welcome a conversation. Your friendly, out-going personality tends to melt barriers, which allows more give-and-take. Keep it easy and relaxed. It is important to have a few calm hours to yourself. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s idea. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pace yourself, and know that you have a lot to do. You could be overwhelmed by all the choices you have. Realize that this is not the kind of day that you’ll want to make a decision. Instead, just take your time; the answer will come to you. Tonight: Go for a walk. BORN TODAY Former U.S. Vice President Dan Quayle (1947), civil-rights ac-tivist Rosa Parks (1913), boxer Oscar De La Hoya (1973)
Dear Annie: I have a family history of car-diovascular disease and lost my mom to a heart attack when she was only 32. To be preventive about my own health, I had something called a vascular wellness screening: a check of my arteries for athero-sclerosis, the plaque that builds up in our arteries as we age. The tests were easy, pain-less and held at a local church. I had some mild blockage in the arteries of my neck, but nothing serious at the time. Two years later, my doctor recommend-ed that I repeat the tests. This time, my left neck artery was significantly blocked. This signaled to my doctor that my heart arteries could be blocked, too, and tests showed that to be true. With my family history, there was no doubt that I was at high risk for heart at-tack and stroke, but I wouldn’t have known without the screening. I encourage people to get their arteries screened. Most people don’t think about the health of their arteries or know the word “atherosclerosis,” but getting these tests could help you know what is going on inside your body before something serious hap-pens. Work with your doctor, and share your test results so that he or she can use them to help you stay well for as long as possible. -- Joan P. in New Jersey Dear Joan P.: Thank you for this timely information. February is American Heart Month. Cardiovascular disease is the lead-ing cause of death in this country. Those who have a family history of heart disease or stroke and feel that a screening would be beneficial should contact their doctor or any local hospital or university health center to set up an appointment. For more information on American Heart Month and how to maintain a healthy heart, check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website at cdc.gov/Features/HeartMonth or the American Heart Association (heart.org). Dear Annie: My wife’s college roommate visited us for five days. She turned out to be the Visitor from Hell. Here’s what hap-pened: She strongly recommended that we take her to a certain restaurant that serves great food. We took her three times, at her request, and guess who paid the bill. My wife prepared all the other meals, and our guest never once offered to take us out. In addition, she didn’t even bring us a small hostess gift, which, although we didn’t need one, would have been thoughtful and ap-preciated. During her entire stay, this woman bragged nonstop about everything she has done and will do. She used my comput-er several times and had me print out one article after another for her personal use. I tried to be nice, but by the fifth day, I lost it, especially when she asked my wife to wash her dirty clothes. Before leaving, this inconsiderate guest expressed the wish to return next year. My wife puts up with her eccentricities, but I can’t. What do you suggest? -- Frustrated Husband Dear Frustrated: Unless your wife is will-ing to ask her friend to stay at a hotel for at least part of the visit, nothing will change. There’s no reason you both have to put up with this guest. Let your wife enjoy a few days with her ex-roommate while you visit family or friends elsewhere, either for part or all of the time she’s there. Dear Annie: This is for “Tolerant in the Land of Enchantment,” who pointed out the necessity of blowing one’s nose when eating red and green chili at Christmastime in New Mexico. “Tolerant” is obviously a transplant to our area. First of all, it’s chile, not “chili.” Chile start out green on the vine and turn red when ripe. In New Mexico, both are popular. When ordering chile, some folks can’t de-cide which to get and order “Christmas,” which means both red and green chile, re-gardless of the time of year. -- A Northern New Mexico Native Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website
1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.
2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.
3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.
4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.
5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixty-two percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.
6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.
7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.
8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.
9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.
10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.
