New family doctor moves to Cranbrook TRE VOR CR AWLEY

It’s no secret that Cranbrook and other rural communities have struggled to attract doctors, but the arrival of a new family physician is being hailed as a positive recruitment sign. Dr. Jordan Wolff joined the Associates Medical Clinic in late September following his graduation from the family practice residency at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. “I, along with my family, are very happy to be here,” said Dr. Wolff. “We look forward to making Cranbrook our home.” His recruitment is part of an effort spearheaded by the East Kootenay Division of Family Medicine’s physician recruit-

ment task force. The task force itself is a part of another program—A GP for Me—which is a joint initiative between the provincial government and Doctors of BC that aims to improve access to primary care and help citizens find a family doctor. “I am pleased to welcome Dr. Wolff to Cranbrook,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. “The addition of a new doctor in the region means greater accessibility to primary care for many residents needing a physician and is a vital part of people achieving and maintaining good health.”

Beaudry transferred out of Cranbrook FOR THE TOWNSMAN

It was standing room only at the Cranbrook Aquatic Centre last Saturday for the Triton’s Annual pre-Christmas fun meet. The bleachers were filled with family and friends of the 74 swimmers who travelled from Fernie and Invermere to participate in the one-day event. “This meet was a great opportunity for Cranbrook kids who haven’t competed before,” says coach Erin Beyeler. “Parents didn’t have to commit to travel, so if kids wanted to try one or two events, they could.” The Cranbrook Tritons are a very active club, with 60 kids practising up to 8 times a week at the Cranbrook Aquatic Centre. They are supported by three qualified coaches and tireless parent volunteers. Tritons Jennifer DePippo and Nerissa Zelych will be attending the Can/Am Paraswimming Championships in Edmonton December 5-7th and Sarah Brown, Shelby Lehmann, Chloe Mayes, Matthew Meuleman and Jayden Whyte are heading to Calgary the next weekend.

As the result of a multi-agency effort, Jason Beaudry has been transferred from Cranbrook to a treatment facility in the lower mainland. Beaudry arrived in Cranbrook late last Tuesday where he was greeted by officers of the Cranbrook RCMP Detachment. Over the following days Cranbrook RCMP conducted 24 hour surveillance on Beaudry while efforts were made to find vacancy at a proper treatment facility. “Mr. Beaudry was transferred to a location better equipped to assist him with his treatment efforts,” Staff Sgt. Dave Dubnyk, Cranbrook RCMP, said. Once the treatment facility was identified, the Ktunaxa Nation in conjunction with Street Angels graciously funded Beaudry’s return trip to the lower mainland. Staff Sgt. Dubnyk advises

JASON BEAUDRY

that members from the RCMP General Duty and Plain Clothes Units along with the Regional Crime Reduction Unit closely monitored Beaudry’s movements the entire time he was in Cranbrook . “Local residents were never at risk” Dubnyk noted.

Family doctor arrives in town

Continued from page 1 The physician task force is a collaboration of the East Kootenay Division of Family Practice, Interior Health Authority, Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce, City of Cranbrook, the RDEK and the College of the Rockies. The task force is developing short-term solutions and longterm strategies to address community-wide physician vacancies. One strategy is a group of residents that form the Red Carpet Committee, which helps potential family doctors decide whether the community is a good match for them and their families. Visiting doctors can tour local clinics, recreational amenities, and meet with school officials and other community organizations. “It is wonderful to have Dr. Wolff join the Associates Medical Clinic,” said Dr. Ross Dawson, Division lead for recruitment and retention and a practicing physician at the clinic. “He fills a need in the clinic as well as the community.” Dr. Wolff is the second recent family physician recruit to Cranbrook as Dr. Karen Fordham joined the community earlier in the summer.

Team Taylor Adams fundraises to the top A r n e P e t rys h e n Townsman Staff

The Taylor Adams Team in Cranbrook was the top money raiser in the nation for the Dress for a Cause fundraiser for breast cancer

research. The team raised $13,050 for the cause, and as an added reward of being the top fundraiser in Canada, the team was also awarded $5,000 to donate to Cran-

brook’s cancer treatment centre — the Foundation for Health Oncology Unit. Mike Adams, who also raised the most for an individual — $8,465 — pledged to wear a pink bra for every

$1,000 raised. “I ended up wearing a pink bra for eight days, but it was worth it,” Adams said. Adams wanted to thank everybody for the donations. This was the first year. He

The youth of YouthWise Eco Centre (Boys’ and Girls’ Club of Cranbrook) wish to thank the community for generously supporting their fundraising efforts this fall. Through a lot of after-school leaf-raking in October, and a very successful fundraising luncheon last Friday (Nov. 28), YouthWise was able to raise $369.40 for His Hope Uganda (www.hishope. org). His Hope Uganda was founded in 2009 by Cranbrook’s own Kimi Toyota. The youth are excited to buy goats and chickens for people in need! Thanks again, Cranbrook!

said the staff at Taylor Adams were looking for something to do — they usually try to do a big group event in the spring or the fall — and this came up. “They suggested it would be a fun thing to do. Our office just decided to do this as kind of a group event this year,” he said. “There was huge generosity from everybody.” He said it was a lot more successful than they imagined it would be. “Going into it we certainly had no idea that we could come out on top,” he said. “It’s great that it happened and now we’ll be able to give a $5,000 donation, which will go through the Foundation for Health oncology department to decide what they want to do with it.” Adams did most of his fundraising through Facebook. “I just posted on there what we were doing and why we were doing it. Family, friends and people I know and my wife knows saw it and donated and it went off way better than I imagined,” he said. His wife is undergoing treatment. “Some people that I haven’t talked to in 20 years were donating. I know other people in the office, it was the same thing. They wanted to contribute. Other people saw the pictures in the paper as well.” He added a big thank you to everyone in the community that donated.

Opinion/Events

I would like to commend all the candidates who ran in the November 15 civic election. As a participating candidate, I found it to be a learning experience for myself, as I’m certain it was for others as well. I would like to take a moment here to wholeheartedly thank all those who supported me. I am to understand that the wording of the fluoride question, or lack thereof, caused a lot of confusion, and understandably so. There was an informational meeting held at the Annex Hall, however, this turned out be be very slanted in its information. There were two hours allocated to the experts, and they were only given 10 minutes in which to explain. The cost of bringing in Dr. Wik, hiring a public relations firm and the cost of defending the class action lawsuit is and was unwarranted. As of January 1, 2014, Israel passed a law making it illegal to fluoridate their drinking water. Not just Israel, but 97 per cent of Europe — including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Iceland, 90 per cent of the UK, Spain, Scotland, Norway, Switzerland and many more. It was also voted out of the drinking water in Windsor, Ontario, Calgary, Vancouver, Prince George and the District of Sparwood. The really scary part is that the City of Cranbrook workers were told not to talk about the corrosive leaks in the PVC pipe and the stainless steel pipe, along with the dripping valve leak that is eating a hole in the cement floor. It was thought that small amounts of natural fluoride in the drinking water would help with tooth formation, but these claims were always referring to

the naturally occurring fluoride. The substance added to our drinking water is called hydroflourosilicic acid — this is not natural fluoride but in fact is a substance created from the creation processes of aluminum, fertilizer, steel and nuclear industries, and is referred to as industrial toxic waste. But don’t believe it because you are reading it here — look it up and then decide if you want hydrofluorosilicic acid in our water. Brian Kostiuk Cranbrook

Domestic Violence

Like all violent crime in Canada, rates of domestic violence have fallen in recent years. This decline is partly due to increased social equality and financial freedom for women, which makes it easier for them to leave abusive relationships at earlier stages. It is also due to years of effort by groups who are working to end domestic violence. Their achievements include improved public awareness, more treatment programs for violent men, improved training for police officers and Crown attorneys, having the police lay charges rather than the victim, more co-ordination of community services, and the creation of domestic violence legislation in some areas of Canada. Still, despite this good news, some disturbing trends are emerging: • In 2010, the rate of intimate partner homicide committed against females increased by 19%, the third increase in four years. During that same period, the rate for male victims fell by almost half. • After falling for a decade, rates of domestic violence have now flat-lined. In

2009, the rate of self-reported spousal violence was the same as in 2004. • Victims are now less likely to report an incident to police. • More women are experiencing violence after leaving their abuser.

Humans/Nature

Why are we constantly surprised, even shocked, when people behave like human beings? Are we really ignorant of the facts of Life or just in dogged denial? We spend much of our lives in conflict with Nature but we are definitely not in control. Despite our apparent sophistication, each of us is still the product and the puppet of Nature which has its own agenda where item Number 1 appears to be Survival/Preservation of the Species; all else is ancillary, contributory. As I see it, basically, the male is a twolegged inseminator whose function is to produce and plant the seed while the female is a walking incubator whose function is to nurture the seed and reproduce. To ensure the success of the reproduction process, Nature has endowed the male with urgent and undeniable sex drive making him, inevitably, the aggressor — a sexual predator. This libido may be troublesome but it is vital and no amount of legislation can change it. Nature, of course, does not seek or need our approval. Bud Abbott Cranbrook

It is a great opportunity to thank all the dozens of contributors to my new book, Fisher Peak Chronicles.” said Powell. “So many people generously contributed their stories and photos to the project, so I wanted to thank them with a special event. I am hoping that people will also bring their Mount Fisher stories and photos to share

with everyone else. Who knows, maybe some of these stories will end up in a future edition of the book.” “Fisher Peak Chronicles has been one of our best-selling books this fall. We are excited to host this event and to have so many Kootenay authors in-store too,” said Erin Dalton, owner of Lotus Books. “At Lotus Books, we love special events and this is a great way for us to support the local writers in the community and give our customers the chance to meet these authors in a casual, comfortable setting.” You are invited to come by and meet local authors this Saturday, December 6, at Lotus Books 33 –10th Avenue South in downtown Cranbrook, 2 to 4 p.m. Kootenay authors in attendance: Keith G.

Nigeria: The band plays on There’s going to be an election in Nigeria in mid-February, and the weird thing is that it’s not going to be all about Boko Haram. The Islamist terrorists are now killing people at the rate of at least 500 a month — two 9/11s a year, in a country with half the population of the United States — but most Nigerians seem to regard Boko Haram as just one more problem, and a fairly local one at that. Up in the three north-eastern provinces of the country, where Boko Haram has now declared that it is setting up an Islamic “Caliphate” on the model of ISIS’s “Islamic State” in Iraq and Syria, they do care about terrorism. They are also now starting to worry about it more in the rest of the north, where Boko Haram attacked the central mosque in Kano, the biggest northern city, last Friday, and killed at least a hundred people. But in the rest of the country, the terrorist threat has not really risen to the top of the political agenda. The forthcoming election will not focus on the stunning incompetence and sheer inertia of President Goodluck Jonathan’s government in the face of this threat. Boko Haram’s rise to prominence has taken place entirely on Jonathan’s watch, and at no time has he shown much interest in fighting it. He spoke out strongly when Boko Haram attacked targets in the capital, Abuja, but did nothing. For the rest, he left the problem to the army and to his northern allies, the feudal emirs who still dominate politics there. These traditional rulers have managed to hang onto their power because the north’s population is more illiterate and far poorer than that of the southern states. In order to justify their wealth and political

privilege, the emirs have always stressed their traditional religious roles. So when reformers began to criticise them from a radical Islamic standpoint in the 1990s, they tried to steal the radicals’ thunder by bringing in Sharia law right across the north. That didn’t placate the growing Islamist opposition to the rule of the emirs. The opposition turned violent in 2009, with Boko Haram’s first attacks, and despite its extreme cruelty it enjoys some support across the north among both pious Muslims and the downtrodden. And the army, as usual, did nothing useful. Last Friday’s attack on the Kano central mosque Gwynne showed all these cross-currents vividly. The building Dyer is on the main square right next door to the palace of the emir of Kano, Mohammed Sanusi II, who frequently preaches in the mosque. Naturally, he always exhorts the populace to resist Boko Haram. But the emir also urges people not to depend on the army, because it is useless. They should organise to defend themselves, for the soldiers cannot be trusted to protect them. “If people flee the villages (because the army hasn’t come),” he said, “the terrorists slaughter our male children and abduct our girls to force them into slavery.” The Nigerian army is widely accused of corruption, brutality, and even cowardice. It rarely takes the fight to Boko Haram directly, but it often fires on the crowds who gather after terrorist attacks to protest at the government’s failure to protect them. Nigerian army troops did that again outside the Kano central mosque last week, and nobody even bothered to express their outrage. Nobody was surprised.

This is how almost all of Borno state except the capital, Maiduguri, has slipped out of government control. So have large parts of neighbouring Yobe and Adamawa states, and Maiduguri itself, a city of two million, may fall before the election. In these circumstances, you would expect the federal government, and especially President Goodluck Jonathan, to be under constant attack for having failed to act decisively against Boko Haram, but nothing of the sort. When the four biggest opposition parties united two years ago to form the All Progressives Congress (APC), they gave Jonathan’s ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) its first serious opposition since democracy was established in 1999. But the APC’s charms have faded as the election nears. It attracted lots of prominent defectors from the PDP at first, but those new recruits brought their old reputation for corruption with them. It is this new struggle for power at the centre, not the ugly and alarming developments in the far north-east, that monopolises the attention of the political class, for the outcome of the February election matters greatly for them. It will decide who gets their snouts in the trough for the next four years. Voters’ expectation are so low that they are not even shocked by the quite plausible accusation that Jonathan has failed to fight hard against Boko Haram because the three north-eastern states would probably vote against the PDP in the next election. Whereas if there is enough chaos in the north-east, the election will be cancelled in those states. And so the band plays on, as Nigeria drifts towards civil war and disintegration.

Gritty forward leads Nitros to victory over Golden

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Fuelled by a high-flying hat-trick from buzz saw Eric Buckley, the Kimberley Dynamiters exploded for a five-goal third period to defeat the Golden Rockets 6-1 Tuesday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre. “I changed my stick tape from white to black,” Buckley said with a laugh after the win. “I thought maybe that was going to give me some help and it did, I guess. “I’ve been using white all year. Now I’ll use black.” A back-and-forth affair left the two Eddie Mountain Division opponents knotted 1-1 heading into the final 20 minutes of regulation. With Rockets defenceman Nic Noseworthy taking a two-minute timeout for slashing, Buckley parked himself on the doorstep of goaltender Magnus Viberg. The Rockets puck-stopper made an initial save on a sharp shot from Nitros captain Jason Rich-

ter, but Buckley was there to cleanup, sending the rebound past a helpless Viberg. “I knew I had to get it upstairs,” Buckley said. “I just flicked it and it thankfully went in.” For Buckley, it was his first goal in four games. But he wasn’t done just yet. On the ensuing puck drop, the speedster took a long-lead pass at the Rockets blue-line from defenceman James Jowsey. With nothing but open space between himself and Viberg, the diminutive forward snapped a high shot past the glove of the bewildered Rockets netminder, who had barely had time to recover from Buckley’s previous power-play tally. It took a mere 10 seconds for Buckley to score the game-winning marker and the insurance tally. “That’s definitely a first,” Buckley said of his quick-strike markers. “It kind of hit me when I got on the bench. Richter hadn’t even gotten up

yet from the first one. He didn’t know how I scored the second one. Keenan Haase was a key contributor for the second game in a row, tallying two goals and an assist, all in the third period. The California native set up Buckley for the hat-trick tally with 89 seconds remaining in regulation. Buckley, a native of Penticton, tallied his third with a snap shot that found the crossbar before ricocheting off the back of Viberg and across the line. The hulking Haase rounded out the scoring with his second of the night only 13 seconds after Buckley’s third of the night. In his first game since being acquired from the Summerland Steam Friday night, Braden Saretsky registered an assist, setting up linemate Jared Marchi on the Dynamiters first goal of the night. For Viberg, it was a forgettable night as he was victimized six times on 34 shots. Not only did

Buckley’s third come off a bounce, but Haase’s first of the night came off a dump in that bounced off the lively Civic Centre end wall before hitting the goaltenders skate and trickling across the line. “I know our boards are pretty bouncy,” Haase said. “I saw it go in. It went behind the goalie and I saw his face, he just looked back and looked disappointed. “That is the weirdest goal I’ve ever scored.” At the other end of the rink, Tyson Brouwer did all that was required of him, stopping 30 shots for his 12th win of the campaign. “Each game is pretty crucial,” Haase said. “I think we did what we wanted to do today. We got the two points and we’ll keep building on it and move forward from there.” Next, the Dynamiters travel to Creston Friday to face the Thunder Cats (19-4-1-1) in another Eddie Mountain Divisional battle at the Johnny Bucyk Arena.

Eddie Mountain trade winds Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks preaches patience amidst divisional activity Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks continues to preach patience despite the busy activity swirling around the Eddie Mountain Division this past week. The Nitros acquisition of forward Braden Saretsky in exchange for Tyson Klingspohn is just one of a handful of significant moves to have gone down in the Eddie Mountain Division since Nov. 25. Creston Valley Thunder Cats head coach/ general manager Jeff Dubois went out and bolstered his lineup with the acquisition of over-age forward Kyle Richter from the Westshore Wolves of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) on Nov. 25. In 21 games with the Wolves, the 5-foot-10 native of Victoria tallied

14 goals and 32 points. Since landing in the Creston Valley, he’s already provided a boost to the Thunder Cats, registering three goals in two games this past weekend. While Richter’s addition provides some added punch for the Thunder Cats, it was the Fernie Ghostriders making the biggest splash, acquiring a pair of 19-year-olds -- defenceman Will Lightfoot and forward Doan Smith. Ghostriders head coach/GM Craig Mohr acquired Lightfoot from the Princeton Posse for future considerations Nov. 29. The native of Cranbrook has yet to suit up in a KIJHL game this season after starting the campaign with the La Ronge Ice Wolves of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL). The 6-foot-1 rearguard spent the entire 2013-14 campaign in the SJHL, getting into 46

games with the Notre Dame Hounds. “We were definitely looking to shore up some of the toughness on our team,” Mohr told Sara Moulton of the Fernie Free Press. “I thought we needed some more grit, a guy who is not afraid to drop the gloves when he has to.” Lightfoot is already familiar with Fernie, having dressed in 39 games with the Ghostriders during the 2012-13 season. Mohr wasn’t finished after solidifying his blue-line. Monday afternoon, he went out and acquired Doan Smith from the Columbia Valley Rockies in exchange for forward Kale Johnston (1995) and defenceman Ty Rebelato (1995). According to Moulton, Mohr said he was contacted by the Rockies regarding the avail-

ability of their then-leading scorer. Smith is fourth in KIJHL scoring with 22 goals and 39 points as of Tuesday afternoon, providing a significant influx of offense to a strong Ghostriders club that already boasts the likes of Josh McCulloch (229-31), Cole Keebler (16-

15-31), Sam Plaquin (918-27) and Joel Burgess (12-14-26). With the acquisitions made by both Fernie and Creston Valley, it’s easy to jump to the conclusion there is immediate pressure on teams like the Golden Rockets and Kimberley Dynamiters to bolster their

Marchi scored Kimberley’s first goal of the night and the Dynamiters came out with a resounding 6-1 victory over their Eddie Mountain Divisional rival. respective lineups in order to keep pace. Bancks isn’t convinced it’s that clear. “It does and doesn’t [put the pressure on],” Bancks said Monday afternoon. “I’ll be honest, we have to be patient. Philosophically, when I took over this team, it was my desire to stay young and to develop players. With that comes some growing pains as you go throughout the year.” “The league gets tougher as you move along and some of our younger guys are struggling in terms of goals and assists right now, but they are developing. [Developing] is what we stand for here.” The Dynamiters bench boss remains committed to that philosophy, suggesting the recent performance of players like Trevor Van Steinburg and Coy Pre-

vost are just a couple examples of how it pays to be patient in the KIJHL rather than panic and go looking to buy up available assets. Van Steinburg, 17, started the season as a forward, but has been transitioned back to the blue-line in recent weeks. “He’s physically fairly strong and I like his mobility,” Bancks said of the decision to slide the Cranbrook native back to the point. “It’s hard to go from forward to [defense]. It’s way easier to go from [defense] to forward, so there were definitely some issues at the start. “He’s getting more confident in terms of when to join the rush and carry the puck. We’d like to see him do more of that, but he’s heading in the right direction.” As for Prevost, the 17-year-old Saskatoon Blades prospect was singled out by Bancks as

arguably the best player for the Nitros in the last two meetings against a tough Fernie Ghostriders squad. While Bancks’ commitment to developing players as opposed to purchasing them via the trade market remains true, it doesn’t mean the Dynamiters will completely avoid the trade market prior to the Jan. 10 roster deadline. It just means there will be patience in the approach. “I’m thrilled with where we’re at,” Bancks said. “We’re not done. We’re like any team, we’re not done [in regards to the trade market]. But I am thrilled with how some of these kids are developing.” All KIJHL teams must have their rosters down to 23 players by Jan. 10, 2015. As it stands, the Dynamiters are carrying 22 players, including two goaltenders, seven defencemen and 13 forwards.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 23-year-old man. I served in the army and deployed to Afghanistan. I was medically discharged for PTSD about two years ago. I’m currently going to school to be a firefighter, but I’m afraid I’ve picked this field not because it interests me, but because I cannot go back into the military. I’m working in an office now, and I hate my job. Before this, I worked at a department store and as a machinist. But, Annie, I can’t see myself anywhere but with the military. What should I do? -- Lost Soldier Dear Lost: Those who have been in the military sometimes have difficulty accepting a job that is less exciting or challenging. The intensity of the military experience and the bonding with one’s fellow soldiers can make everything else pale in comparison. For some, it takes a great deal of time to readjust. Check out military.com for other job opportunities for veterans, and also Career One Stop (careeronestop.org) at 1-877-3480502. Military OneSource offers suggestions and website links for transitioning military members that might also be helpful for you (militaryonesource.mil/transition). Dear Annie: I have been a widower for almost three years. For the past six months, I’ve been seeing a nice lady for a friendly relationship. She also lost her spouse several years ago. My lady friend and I have dined out a few times, and she has questioned why I still wear my wedding ring. Annie, my wife was my only love. We were together more than 60 years. I will never love anyone like that again. Is it right for me to wear my wedding ring? Or if I am seeing someone, should I put it away? My friend says she is uncomfortable when I have it on. I care about this woman, so please tell me what I should do. -- Widower Out East Dear Widower: You actually have two issues: How long should you wear your wedding ring once you have begun dating again, and is a casual girlfriend of six months entitled to tell you to remove it? Wearing your wedding ring gives the impression that you are still connected to your first wife and not ready to move on. Nonetheless, wearing it is your decision, not your girlfriend’s. Widows often remove a wedding band and wear it on their other hand or have it refashioned into a necklace or other piece of jewelry, allowing them to continue wearing it in a less prominent location. You might consider this when you are ready. Dear Annie: I’d like to address this to “Unhappy Mother of a Son”: You are not alone. I haven’t seen my son since Mother’s Day, when I got my annual 30-minute visit. Yet every week, my son goes to dinner with his wife’s parents. Last month, they went on a family vacation with his in-laws. On Thanksgiving, my daughter-in-law didn’t even take her coat off or sit down when they came by. I am totally excluded from my son’s life except for a few text messages that he sends when I suspect his wife isn’t around. I am not a nasty person. I am quite nice to my daughter-in-law. I buy her lovely presents for her birthday and Christmas and make special cakes for her birthday. I text her and send her messages on Facebook, but she never responds. She tells my son that my messages never get through, but we both know that can’t possibly be true. Everyone else gets my messages. Not every mother-in-law is a monster, and not every daughter-in-law is a daughter. -Another Unhappy Mother of a Son Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Richard III identified with DNA MARIA CHENG Associated Press

LONDON — Scientists say there is “overwhelming evidence� that a skeleton found under a parking lot is that of England’s King Richard III, but their DNA testing also has raised questions about the nobility of some of his royal successors. The bones of the 15th-century king were dug up in the city of Leicester in 2012, and experts have published initial data suggesting they belong to Richard, including an analysis of his curved spine and the injuries that killed him. Richard was the last English monarch to die on a battlefield, in 1485. In the new study — probably the oldest forensic case ever solved — scientists compared DNA from the skeleton to living relatives and analyzed DNA data identifying eye and hair colour, which they matched to the earliest known portrait of the king. “The probability that this is Richard is 99.999 per cent,� said Turi King, a geneticist at the University of Leicester who led the research. When she and colleagues compared the skeleton’s DNA obtained from the ground-up powder of one tooth and a leg bone to samples provided by a 14th cousin on Richard’s maternal side, they found a perfect match. Based on the skeleton’s DNA, King and colleagues hypothesized that Richard had blue eyes and blond hair in childhood, which darkened with age. With no contemporary paintings of the king available, they compared their findings to the earliest known painting of him, which depicts the monarch with light brown hair and blue eyes, painted about 25 years after his death. The research was pub-

COURTESY UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER

This is how archaeologists found the bones of King Richard III buried beneath a parking lot in Greyfriar’s, England.

WIKIPEDIA

Richard III’s oldest surviving portrait. lished Tuesday in the journal, Nature Communications. Scientists also compared the skeleton’s DNA to samples from living relatives on Richard’s father’s side. They found no match, a discovery that could throw the nobility of

some royals into question. While researchers weren’t able to say where on the family tree the adultery occurred, they said the findings potentially raise questions about the legitimacy of Henry V, Henry VI and the entire Tudor dynasty, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Still, Kevin Schurer, pro vice chancellor of the University of Leicester and another study author, said claims to the throne are based on more than simply having royal blood and also rest on other things such as battlefield victories and royal marriages. He said England’s current royal family — which has a line of descent from the House of Tudor — should not be worried. “We are not in any way indicating that Her Majesty (Elizabeth II) shouldn’t be on the throne,� Schurer said. Researchers said it was the first time there was scientific

evidence that questioned medieval lines of succession in the monarchy. Other academics said history is littered with claims and counter-claims of royal legitimacy. “When Richard took the throne, he said his brother Edward should never have been king because he was illegitimate,� said Steven Gunn, a tutor in history at Oxford University. Gunn said it was unlikely anyone would ever learn the truth behind the most damaging rumours about Richard — that he murdered his young nephews to hang onto his crown. Still, Gunn said, a more complex picture of the king is now emerging. “This opens up a new posthumous discussion about Richard’s legacy,� the historian said. “He has been misrepresented as just a king with scoliosis.�

NASA gets new countdown clock for Orion launch MARCIA DUNN Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. NASA has a new state-of-theart space capsule on the launch pad and a new high-tech countdown clock to go with it. The multimedia display was lit up Tuesday and counting down the hours, minutes and seconds until Thursday morning’s liftoff of Orion on an unmanned orbital test flight. It’s the nation’s first new spacecraft intended for true outer-space travel by humans since the Apollo moon program. What better way to usher in this new era of exploration, NASA reasoned, than with the latest flat-screen gizmo. So last week, down came the countdown clock that dated back to the Apollo 12 moon shot in 1969 and sig-

The debut launch of the Orion space capsule will be Thursday this week. nalled every space shuttle launch for 30 years. And up went the new display in the same exact spot at the Kennedy Space Center press site that, along with the nearby flag pole, had once earned national his-

toric designation. Apollo 17’s launch on Dec. 7, 1972, marked mankind’s last trip to the moon — and the last crewed capsule to leave Earth’s immediate vicinity. This inaugural Orion will

carry no crew during the 4 1/2hour test flight and be confined to Earth orbit. But it will aim for a high point of 3,600 miles on the second loop of the planet, setting the spacecraft up for a 20,000-mph, 4,000-degree re-entry. Splashdown will occur in the Pacific, 600 miles southwest of San Diego. For this launch, a Delta IV rocket will do the heavy lifting. Future Orions will be launched aboard NASA’s still-in-development Space Launch System, or SLS, intended to carry astronauts to asteroids, Mars and beyond. One plan calls for an asteroid to be corralled in orbit around the moon, so an Orion crew can explore the rock sometime in the 2020s. Mars expeditions would follow in the 2030s.
