What to expect from this product: Produces healthy collagen
Dissolves cholesterol deposits Reduces the risk of cardiovascular
disease Increases blood ow to coronary arteries Prevents formation
of free radicalsHumans do not make Vitamin C like animals do, we
need to supplement this essential vitamin to meet our daily needs.
Vitamin C and Lysine work together to build collagen, which
strengthens and holds together the coronary cells. Inadequate
amounts of Vitamin C means poor collagen. Coronary cells then fall
apart just as bricks do without good mortar. Coronary arteries,
closest to the heart, receive the greatest pressure. Without enough
Vitamin C the collagen weakens. This sets the stage for heart
attack. The work of Dr. Sydney Bush shows that vitamin C + lysine
can help reverse the process.Reg $29.99 Sale $23.99 SAVE $6.00Berry

By Tom FletcherB.C. residents will be
able to buy B.C. wine from grocery stores by early next year,
with some stores connected to liquor stores that offer full
selection including hard liquor.
The provincial govern-ment released its frame-work for a major
over-haul of liquor policy Thursday. It proposes a small number of
new licences for Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) wine sales from
gro-cery store shelves, with future expansion to include B.C.-made
craft beer under the same
licences.Richmond-Steveston
MLA John Yap said all alcohol sales will be rung through at
separate cash registers, with staff trained in an expand-ed Serving
It Right course to check iden-tification and sobriety. Customers
will be able to stock up on groceries and alcoholic beverages in
the same shopping cart, whether from in-store B.C. wine or
prod-ucts from a connected liquor store.
Changes to take effect by this summer include licensing B.C.
wine and beer sale and tast-ing at farmers mar-
kets, permitting happy hour drink discounts at licensed
businesses and removing the require-ment for fenced beer gardens at
approved out-door festivals.
Yap said the gov-ernment is adopt-ing a recommenda-tion from
Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall and other health
officials to tie prices to alcohol content, in an effort to reduce
over-consumption.
The government plans to maintain its cap on the number of liquor
stores, with 670 private stores now in operation. Liquor stores are
cur-rently restricted to relo-cating no more than five km from
their original location, but that restric-tion is being lifted so a
licence can be sold or moved anywhere in the province.
Yap said that would allow either a govern-ment or private liquor
store to relocate next to a grocery store.
Another major change in the works is to whole-sale pricing from
the governments monop-oly Liquor Distribution Branch. Currently
pri-
vate stores pay a 16 per cent discount off the government store
retail
price.Yap said the LDB will
move to the same whole-sale price for all stores, based on the
value of each product, and retail
prices will be set by a competitive market.
Booze will be coming to grocery stores in the province in
2015

but they will have to go through two cash registers.

Corry Williams WOW cant waitAnna Lee When is it coming?
This may be the last chance to take advan-tage of Provincial
incen-tives to upgrade your old wood burning stove to a new,
cleaner burn-ing and energy efficient model, as further fund-ing
for the program is in doubt.
Wildsights pro-gram coordinator, Erna Jensen-Shill reports that
there are just 25 rebates of $250 remaining for residents of
Cranbrook, Kimberley and RDEK Rural Areas C and E wising to upgrade
to a new EPA/CSA approved model. The cities of Cranbrook, Kimberley
and the RDEK will also waive the building permit fees for
installation of the new appliances ($50 - $75). Additionally,
participating retail-ers in Kimberley and Cranbrook will offer up
to an additional $150 off
new stove models dur-ing the months of March and April.
The goal of the pro-gram is to improve air quality. A new
EPA/CSA certified stove produces about 90 per cent less particulate
matter (smoke) which improves air quality in and around homes.
Other benefits of the new models is that they require less wood and
are generally safer - cer-tified wood stoves will greatly reduce
creosote buildup which is the prime cause of chimney fires.
Wildsight is also offer-
ing a Master Burner contest to participants who qualify for the
exchange program by March 31st. Lucky participants will win 1 hour
of WETT cer-tified expertise from Richard Hedrich at Tip Top
Chimney Services, along with tools to increase their wood burning
efficiency such as moisture meters to test the dryness of wood
prior to burning.
For more information on the program contact [email protected] or
250 427 2535 ex 224, or www.wildsight.ca/kim-cran/cleanair.

SubmittedAbove seasonal tem-
peratures, large amounts of melting snow and rain received the
past two days is causing flood-ing issues and heighten-ing concerns
around the City of Cranbrook and the region today.
City Public Works crews are dealing with a massive amount of
water the area has seen the past two days. There are many areas of
the City that are experi-encing flooding issues, including parts of
Highway 3, the CP rail yard and some parts of Joseph Creek.
Right now every available staff mem-ber with our Public Works
department and every piece of available equipment are out there
working, says Chris Zettel, Communications Officer for the City of
Cranbrook. In fact, Public Works has had to bring in several rented
pieces of equipment to
help. We will continue to monitor the situation over the next
number of days and keep the public updated.
Joseph Creek is cur-rently running extreme-ly high, higher than
even the creek has seen in the spring freshet last spring. Staff is
stretched trying to deal with the concerned calls from the public
and are doing their very best to assist everyone. However, the
public is being asked to please do what they can to help themselves
as well. Residents who wish to get sandbags for their properties;
Public Works has bags and sand available beside the
Public Works yard on Cobham Avenue. You will need to fill your
own bags and should bring your own shovel. The City is bringing in
a number of contractors to assist.
A simple thing resi-dents or business own-ers can also do, is
ensure any storm water drain you have around your home or business,
please make sure it is clear of ice and debris so the water has
somewhere to go, Zettel said.
Residents are also advised to please stay away from any creeks,
including Joseph Creek and lakes including both Elizabeth and
Idlewild
Lake. Ice conditions on both lakes will most likely be very poor
and someone may be able to fall through. The weather forecast is
call-ing for continued warm temperatures and the potential for more
rain-fall the next couple of days. Overnight temper-atures are not
expected to hit the freezing mark
at least until early next week.
If you are experienc-ing a flooding related emergency or are
concerned about the imminent potential for one, please call the
Provincial Emergency Communications Centre at 1-800-663-3456. You
can also get some additional informa-
tion on the Emergency Management BC web-site at
www.embc.gov.
bc.ca/em/floods/index.html.
SubmittedWith the shift in
weather from snow-fall earlier this week to rainfall and
above-zero temperatures today, the melt is on and reports of
localized flooding are starting to surface.
We have had reports of some localized flood-ing in Wardner, Fort
Steele, Meadowbrook, Wasa and Dicken Road in the Fernie area, said
Information Officer, Loree Duczek. We are currently mobilizing sand
and sandbags for the Wardner area as we do have some overland
flooding affecting 4 or 5 homes in that commu-nity and will be
assess-ing the need for other sandbags on an ongoing basis during
this rapid melt cycle.
Duczek is also encour-aging residents who are in flood prone
areas, or who anticipate they may experience widespread flooding,
to keep the Provincial Emergency Coordination Centre phone number
handy.
The first call anyone makes should be to the Provincial
Emergency Communications Centre at 1-800-663-3456.
E m e r g e n c y Management BC also has some good infor-mation
on its website -
http://www.embc.gov.bc.ca/em/floods/index.html.

EDTA chelation is an intravenous infusion includ-ing vitamins
and magne-sium that has been used for decades, safely treating
hun-dreds of thousands of people with heavy metals and heart
disease. EDTA has tradi-tionally been used for treat-ing people who
are toxic with lead poisoning (it also binds other metals including
cadmium and arsenic). I started doing EDTA chela-tion 15 years ago
primarily treating patients who had heart disease and wanted to
avoid bypass surgery, an application for which it works very well.
It has also been proven effective as a treatment for people who
suffer with leg pain due to peripheral vascular disease. For years,
these treatments had to be done using intra-venous EDTA with
mag-nesium because the EDTA molecule is so large that it can't be
absorbed through the digestive system. IV treatment works very well
but it is time consuming (each treatment takes 2 to 3 hours) and
expensive. Over the years a number of prod-ucts have been developed
as oral alternatives to EDTA intravenous chelation but
none of them has made the molecule more absorbable. As a result,
only about 5% of the EDTA from these supplements would get into the
blood stream, making the treatment largely inef-fective. A company
called Allergy Research has changed the EDTA chela-tion game with
the develop-ment of LipoPhos EDTA. LipoPhos EDTA is made up of
essential phospholipids (EPL), EDTA, alpha-lipoic acid and
magnesium. EPL's are naturally occurring fats that form part of the
outer membrane of cells. These fats make anything they are attached
to more absorbable. By binding EDTA to nano-meter sized
phospholipids LipoPhos makes it possible for people to get
effective doses of EDTA from the comfort of their home simply by
drinking an ounce of fluid. No longer do people have to cope with
the IV needle, sit-ting for hours and spending thousands of dollars
to get the benefits of EDTA chelation. LipoPhos EDTA can also be
used to improve energy and blood circulation. It is also a safe and
effective way to clean up excess heavy metals from your system.

Avana Gjendem, mar-keting and event coor-dinator for St. Eugene
Golf Resort & Casino is a busy woman in a demanding position.
She took time recently to answer a few ques-tions about herself and
work at one of the regions premier desti-nations.
Q: Where did you live before you came here and what makes you
stay?
A: I moved here from Vancouver two years ago. Coming from the
big city, I have to say that I was a little intimidated coming to a
small community.
In Vancouver, I was
just a fish in a large pond. Here, the pond is a lot smaller,
but there has been an amazing feeling of inclusion.
There seems to be a real interest in see-ing the local econo-my
grow as well as keeping good people (potential employees) here in
the area. I see
it in all aspects of this community. I hon-estly think Ive been
given wings just by coming here and I can say with certainty that
Im not going back to Vancouver.
Q: The St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino is a big part of the
local economy. As a woman, do you feel like you are treated as well
as a man would in your position?
A: This is the first place I can truly say they really do revere
women.
Max Dressler (CEO) and the executive team have been very
sup-portive.
I feel that a true lead-er is not just a boss, but someone who
is generous in nature and encourages you to grow while they support
you. I feel that support here and that they really stand behind
their staff.
Q: Speak Your Mind, The Kootenay Womens Show, is being held at
the pavilion at the resort. Obviously you have an interest in
making sure the event goes well, but beyond that, what is the most
exciting part of this years show for you?
A: Im really look-ing forward to seeing Wendy Mesley, the guest
speaker. She is a strong, independent woman.

drivewayBC.ca | Welcome to the drivers seat drivewayBC.ca |
Welcome to the drivers seat
Luxury wheels at just the light priceMALAGA, SPAIN - It might be
winter here but its always nice to look forward to warmer days,
filled with sun and clear roads. To get a sneak peek at what better
weather looks and feels like, plus get a chance to drive the all
new Mercedes GLA250 and GLA 45 AMG, the advanced drive program was
held in Malaga, Spain. The GLA is built of the same plat-form as
the hot, new CLA sedan that arrived last fall. Developing it into a
taller, more practical small SUV is perfect for young families or
couples that want the same underlying goodness that is in the CLA
but with standard all wheel drive (AWD) and ease of use. Pricing
has not been confirmed but when it arrives this fall, expect the
same aggressive pricing that the CLA delivers. That car starts at
$33,900 but with AWD comes up to $36,800.
LooksThis new GLA is not as tall as the B-Class, which also
shares the same platform, and not nearly as low-slung as the CLA.
The GLA has a less aggressive front grille
and stance, plus smaller wheel sizes compared to the high
performance GLA 45 AMG version that sports 19-inch wheels compared
to the base 18-inch wheels, but even the base model can get larger
wheels as part of the Sport Package.The small, more aggressive
touches and the lowered sus-pension do make the AMG look sportier
and more purposeful but the stan-dard GLA with the optional 19-inch
wheels is a head turner too.
InsideThe dash of the GLA is almost identical to both the CLA
sedan and B-Class hatchback. There is a prominent screen mounted
high in the centre of the dash, like an iPad application. The rest
of the dash is sporty and functional thanks to stylish jet engine
inspired air vents that
do a great job of directing air flow to just the right location.
The centre cluster below the screen is very straightforward and
easy to master. The biggest difference between the base model and
the 45 AMG are the seats. The base comes with faux leather 12-way
power seats that look and feel very good. Leather
is optional plus the seats are more bolstered. The AMG gets
upgraded seats as standard equipment but race inspired Recaro seats
are part of the Exclusive Package and look superb, thanks to
aluminum accents and chunky side bol-sters. Other differences
include a centre-mounted shifter in the AMG, where the base 250
gets the more practical column mounted gear se-lector, which frees
up much needed storage in the centre of the car. Speaking of space,
the back seats are much more practical compared to the CLA sedan
thanks to a high-er roof, bigger back windows and much better
outward visibility. The cargo area isnt huge at 1235L but the rear
seats do split and fold for additional cargo capabilities.
DriveThe base GLA 250 comes with a 2.0L turbocharged direct
injection 4-cylinder with a healthy 208hp and 258 lb.-ft. of
torque, the same as the B-Class and base CLA. There is plenty of
acceleration and cruis-ing on the highway is effortless.
Driving through the mountain can-yons back from Granada to
Malaga was a real treat. The countryside is rustic and beautiful
and the twisty roads sublime. The base GLA never set a wheel wrong
and the 7-speed duel-clutch automatic can be left in economy, sport
or manual for each driving situation. All GLA models come with
standard AWD and this system can detach the rear wheels and drive
in FWD for better econ-omy but switches seamlessly back when more
traction or cornering capability is required, plus Dynamic
Cornering Assist applies just a small amount of brake force to the
inside wheel when cornering to aid in the process. The 45 AMG takes
things to a completely new level. The 2.0L 4-cylinder is hand
assem-bled and pumps out a whopping 355hp and 332 lb.-ft. of
torque. The 7-speed transmission and AWD system have been adapted
by AMG to deliver a go-cart like drive that is so reassuring and
potent that it makes the driver look and feel fantastic. Cornering
is effortless and the bigger wheels and lowered suspension give
great feedback but it is not jarring.
VerdictMercedes Benz is enabling more people to access its brand
with smaller less expensive vehicles. The new GLA 250 and GLA 45
AMG are certainly very attractive, powerful and fun vehicles to
drive.

No other vehicle, sold in Canada, has been as domi-nant in a
market segment as the Dodge Grand Caravan.
Dodge (aka Chrysler) is often credited with invent-ing the
minivan or magic wagon, about thirty years ago, and it makes the
Grand Caravan in Canada. Competi-tors have come and many are
gone, as none has been able to match the amazing value package
that is Dodge Grand Caravan.
About six or seven out of every ten new minivans sold in Canada,
in recent years, are Dodge Grand Caravans. This, in turn, accounts
for the huge selection of previously owned Grand Caravans available
and the healthy competition gives a buyer a distinct advantage.
Consumer Reports owner surveys show higher than average repair
problems with brakes, body hardware and power equipment. On the
plus side, basic major mechanical stuff, like engine and
trans-mission, get generally good reliability ratings. No matter
where you live in BC, finding a service provider or replace-ment
parts when needed should not be a problem and costs tend to be
lower, impor-tant considerations for used buyers.
For the 2011 model year, Dodge did a major redesign of Grand
Caravan. Its a more boxy shape than before and the interior refit
incorporated the latest connectivity and safety features. Under the
hood, a new 3.6-litre Pen-
tastar V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transaxle was
the only powertrain of-fered and all-wheel-drive was an option.
In addition to being more fuel-efficient the new 3.6-li-tre V6
can provide a very im-pressive 283 horsepower and more than 260
lb-ft of torque, and it replaced three V6 en-gines (3.3-litre,
3.8-litre and 4.0-litre) that were offered in the previous Grand
Caravan. City/highway fuel economy is rated at 12.2/7.9 L/100km
and a new driver-selectable fuel economizer mode than can adjust
powertrain set-tings for best fuel economy, at the press of a
switch.
Grand Caravan trim lev-els are SE (which includes a Canada Value
Package), SXT (which adds Stow n Go sec-ond-row seating), Crew and
R/T. The unique to Canada added value package with the SE trim
includes 16-inch steel wheels, dual-zone tempera-ture control,
keyless entry, power mirrors, power front
windows, tilt and telescopic steering wheel with audio controls
and drivers knee airbag.
The second-row Stow `n Go seating feature (on STX or higher trim
levels) is exclusive to Grand Caravan. Improve-ments to the
foldaway mech-anism, which allows them to slide into a storage
compart-ment, allow a single user ac-tion. This feature quickly and
effectively transforms a Grand Caravan into a two-seater cargo van,
without removing
the five rear seats. A driver-side knee blocker
air bag is standard and safety conscious new buyers could also
add a Safety Sphere package. It includes Park-Sense (rear park
assist sys-tem), ParkView (back-up cam-era), Blind-spot Monitoring
and Rear Cross Path detection system (warns of crossing traffic
when reversing out of a parking stall), rain-sensitive wipers and
automatic head-lamps.
No significant changes were
made to Grand Caravan for the 2012 model year. Changes for 2013
were minor and included an upgraded DVD package with better screens
and Blu-Ray capability.
Going with a popular ve-hicle choice has very real advantages,
especially when its Canadas Minivan the maximum bang-for-the-buck
Dodge Grand Caravan.

What are my favourite trucks? Its a question read-ers ask me all
the time in the supermarket and on the street.
Though not in order of preference, here are my ten choices.
2014 GMC/Chevy Sil-verado/Sierra ton pickup has gone through
some mon-umental changes this year. What an improvement with a very
comfortable and refined interior on all trim levels, and three
engine choices, the Eco Tec 4.3-litre V6, 5.3-litre V8, and a
6.2-litre V8.
2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Very similar in design to its big
brother the Silverado, this Mid-size truck fills a void in Canada.
Still expected to work as hard as a full-size truck, the
Colorado can tow more than 3,039 kilograms (6700 lbs) a 2.5L I-4
engine is standard with an optional 3.6L V6 with a six speed
automatic trans-mission.
2015 GMC 3500HD Denali is a beast. This truck is built to pull
and with 10,251 KG (22,600 lbs) of trailer towing capacity it does
just that. The 6.6L V8 turbo engine delivers 397 hp and 765 lb ft
of torque and is paired with a 1000 se-ries Allison transmission.
With interior upgrades such as 12-way power adjustable bucket
seats, heated leather wrapped steering wheel and a Bose sound
system you can operate it in comfort.
2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost: With more than 100,000 Eco Boost
engines being produced monthly, you can bet a major-ity of these
engines are finding their way into the 2014 F150 pickup. It holds
the record in Canada for highest pickup sales, and at 12.9/9.0
L/100 km (city/highway) it keeps the money in your wallet a little
longer.
2014 Ford Raptor is still one of my favorite off-road vehicles.
It has electronic lock-ing rear differential, shift on the fly 4
wheel drive, advance trac with roll stability control, and trailer
sway control. Front and rear mounted cameras to add a second pair
of eyes to the terrain around you and a 6.2-litre V8 engine to help
you get up and over that hill.
2015 Ford F150. All new design features and a com-pletely
aluminum body and high strength steel in its frame make this truck
up to 317 KG (700 lbs) lighter. It has 11 new class-exclusive
features, including 360-degree camera view, integrated loading
ramps stowed in the pickup bed, 400-
watt power outlets inside the cab, LED headlights and side-view
mirror spotlights, and remote tailgate release
2014 Ram 1500 EcoDies-el. This is a much-anticipated truck from
Ram With a 3.0-li-tre V6 Diesel engine with a torqueflite
eight-speed trans-mission. Not only will the Ram EcoDiesel give you
420-pound feet of torque and plenty of towing capabilities, it will
also reduce co2 emissions and run on B20 Biodiesel. Its a game
changer.
2014 Ram 3500. The largest and most capable pickup Ram has to
offer. Alterations to the frame including eight separate cross
members, hydro formed frame rails and high strength steel add up to
a truck that is capable of towing of towing up to 13,607kg
(30,000lb). A 6.7l Cummins turbo diesel en-gine delivers 385 hp and
850 lb ft of torque.
2014 Toyota Tundra. New body style this year, impressive hood
and fender design. The western themed 1794 Edition commemorates the
founding
year of a Texas ranch where the Tundra plant is situated. This
interior is covered with Saddle tan brown leather seats and rich
maple wood grain panels throughout. It is pow-ered by a 4.6-litre
or a 5.7-litre engine. Can it compete with the big boys? This is
the year to see.
2014 Toyota Tacoma. The Tacoma has continued to in-crease
popularity and is a very agile four-wheeler. The double cab gives
plenty of room for all your buddies and the 4.0-li-tre V6 engine
can get you to your favorite fishing hole and back. With the
addition of some modern day technol-ogy such as Backup camera,
heated seats, 6 airbags, and a power invertor, this truck has
everything I am looking for in a pickup.

Confessions of a CurberIt happened just after the last fl ood.
The winter beat records for snowfall, and
springtime saw serious fl ooding. Basements fi lled, streets
were running with water, and cars were left to fl oat and sink.
One day, I walked past a junk yard and saw, what I
thought, was a relatively normal car.
Whats it doing here? I thought.Apart from a couple of scratches
on the outside
and some moist seats, the vehicle seemed roadworthy.I
immediately asked about the car.I was told that it was found full
of fl ood water. Its previous owner wanted nothing to do with it.I
bought the car for a couple hundred dollars.I didnt even have to
register it in my name.Originally, I had no intention of doing what
I did.I wanted to sell the car for parts. But, the engine still
worked and
the vehicle could get a person from A to B.Suddenly, I had an
idea.Since the car looked fi ne on the outside, no one had to know
its real history. I was a genius.After a night in the garage with a
heater and a little scrubbing, I posted an ad on Craigslist: 2004
black Toyota Corolla for sale.No longer need, bought new car.No
room in garage need to sell ASAP!!!Few scratches, otherwise in
great condition.Call
cell and well talk price.Thirty minutes later I got a call from
a sixteen-year old kid a little younger than my son.We decided to
meet at the local mall at about 6:00.I wonder if his parents knew
what he was up to.I arrived at 6:20, telling him I was in a great
rush as I had to pick my son up from soccer practice.Turns out he
played, too.After some soccer gossip, we got down to business.I
knew that a kid his age just wanted a ride to show off to his
friends, so we spent little time on
the details. I told him the car was in perfect condition and was
never in any accidents. No problems as far as I know, I said.The
kid was sold.He trusted me.I never gave him my full name, and he
never gave me his. He gave me the cash, I gave him the car.All was
good.I was on my way.A few days later, I saw a TV program that
talked about fl ood damaged vehicles. Apparently, fl ooding can
damage the computer systems, which control things like the brakes
and steering.And fl ood vehicles cant be registered or insured. Who
knew?My mind immediately went to the kid I sold the vehicle to. I
felt a twinge of guilt.Then my eyes darted to my stash of cash.Two
weeks later, I had another car up for sale. Stay tuned!
I still remember my fi rst time.It was so easy. So thrilling.And
I walked away with a couple of
thousand bucks in my pocket.Not bad for a few hours work.

2034 Cranbrook Street, N., Cranbrook, BC V1C 3T1
By Rob Sass
Chris Palmer needed five Pontiac Trans Ams, nu-merous visits to
eBay, count-less hours of work and the generosity of several
friends to recreate the car that starred in the hit 1980s
televi-sion show Knight Rider.
And he wouldnt hesitate to do it all over again.
It was totally worth it more than worth it, Palmer said of his
KITT (Knight Indus-tries Two Thousand) lookalike. I love this car.
Everybody seems to love this car.
Palmer started with a1991 Pontiac Trans Am, which had a better
drivetrain but was nine years newer than the car used in the show.
That decision necessitated the purchase of four more Trans Am
models two each from 1982 and 1983 so he could swap out the panels
and parts required to make it look like KITT. The 91 also has
afive-speed manual transmission, unlike KITTs automatic, so Palmer
chopped the gearshift and swapped out the knob to make it look
authentic.
Palmer found KITTs unique dash (complete with two video screens)
and the cars trademark front bumper on eBay, and everything
operates and sounds as it did on the show. KITTs Michigan vanity
license plate reads KNI6HT.
The Detroit-area resident said his 3-year project would not have
been pos-sible without the help of Sled Alley Hot Rods owner Matt
Gurjack and co-worker Steve Jay; Lafata Auto Body owner Eric
Lafata, who did the paint; and H&E Overlays owner Eric
Thompson, who assisted with the dash installation and also made the
gauge overlays.
Palmer, president of the newly created Great Lakes Knights Car
Club, which he and Thompson co-founded, hopes to build show-quality
movie-replica cars for other fans. For now, hes enjoying all the
attention hes getting from the ultimate KITT car.
