Cranbrook RCMP respond to home invasion
Police believe address targeted in error CPL. CHRIS NE WEL For the Bulletin
Cranbrook RCMP responded to a home invasion on January 23rd, 2015 at approximately 11:30 p.m., in the 1300 block of 10th Street South, Cranbrook. Two unidentified males wearing masks and brandishing blunt weapons forced their way into a residence demanding property from the occupants. The suspects fled the residence empty handed prior to the 9-1-1 call to police. Cranbrook general duty officers, municipal traffic and auxiliary constables along with Southeast District police dog service responded to the report but, were unable to locate the individuals responsible. Cranbrook RCMP believe the suspects targeted the address in error. In a separate incident, on January 26th, 2015 at approximately 4:00pm Cranbrook RCMP received a report of a suspicious male in the 1000 block of 11th Avenue South, Cranbrook. The male is described in his early 20s with a goatee and was driving an older blue Honda Civic with a “baby on board” sign in the rear window. The male is reported to have been acting suspiciously and making inappropriate comments to a pedestrian while driving by. Police would like to speak to this individual regarding his behaviour.

The straight goods on utility increases Confusion over parcel tax, cancellation, rate increases C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
This past Monday evening at the regular meeting of Kimberley City Council, Mayor Don McCormick said that there had been a flood of calls to City Hall in recent days due to confusion over utility rate increases and the announced cancelling of the a new parcel tax for water and sewer.
Utility rates did still rise in 2015 and the cancellation of the parcel tax does not affect that increase, says McCormick. “The utility increase of $25 per quarter was approved in 2014. It is a small operating increase and then the cost of fleet replacement was moved in. And rightly so. That wasn’t new money. It used to come from the general fund. I don’t know that it was explained properly. The increase reflects the cost of the utility.” The increase, which came into effect on January 1, 2015 means quarterly utility rates are now $186.45.
Your Choice...
The new $107 parcel tax for water and sewer, which was also approved by previous Council, was over and above those increases. The intent was to begin to put away funds for infrastructure replacement. “The $107 parcel tax was deemed to be an increase necessary for us to stop the bleeding,” McCormick said. “At the time a parcel tax was chosen but after further deliberation, adding a $107 tax seemed to be too much burden and the parcel tax is not really the right vehicle. So we’re not going with a parcel tax.” However, Council still has to

have a means to begin to save for infrastructure replacement. That will come through phased in utility rate increases. “The parcel tax will be replaced with an increase in utility rates of $84 over three years. The rate increases will begin in 2016,” McCormick said. “Our general thinking is that utility rates themselves need to fund it. They’ve been underfunded for years. If you look at comparisons with other communities our utility costs have always been low. We’ve been getting along but not setting aside any reserves for future reinvestment.”

We do carry smaller fitting clothes — we carry little girls’ clothes — but then some of our select styles we carry up to 4X.” Julie and Janice bring a wealth of experience and expertise in the fashion and boutique retail industry.

clothing comes from all over the world, Janice noted her selection is handpicked from Thailand and Indonesia. Julie said one of the things they hope help people avoid is taking the time to chose and buy something to wear and then going out and finding other people wearing the same outfit. “Once I have the clothing and once it’s sold I don’t bring it back,” she said. “I only bring in one of each size and some things I only bring in one period.” She highlighted the rack of leggings, each unique with unique patterns and colours. They also sell swimsuits, from small to 4X. “They’re not your skimpy little bikini, they’re for women with curves and a body,” Julie said. They sell shoes. Right now they sell TUK shoes. “They’re comfortable, they’re easy to wear and they’re vegan friendly,” she said. They also carry body jewelry and provides professional body piercing services. Julie is a Body Piercing Artist with over 18 years experience. She is certified in Phlebotomy through Kelsey SIAST and holds a certificate in Central Sterile Reprocessing (CSR Tech) through Wascana SIAST. Julie takes great pride in her body piercing services by providing clients with a friendly, sterile, relaxed atmosphere. She welcomes all age groups, both men and women.

owned and operated the shop in Moose Jaw for 18 years. “So we just sold that last year, moved here and reopened,” Julie explained. They strive to make each visit to the shop a great experience. “Every time the door swings open we make sure the customer feels appreciated and everybody gets thanked — thanks for coming, thanks for taking the time and come on in. We’re very one-onone.” That one-on-one experience is important to them. “You don’t just sell it to sell it,” said Janice. She’s honest if she doesn’t think an outfit works for the person. That kind of honesty is difficult to find these days. They also saw a gap in the women’s clothing market in Cranbrook and so chose this city has their new home. Julie describes a lot of the clothing they carry as vintage inspired and pinup couture. “We kind of wanted to play on that, so anybody that’s 20 or 60 could basically wear the same kind of dress. They could wear it for basically anything.” Their assortment of

Riverside Campground expanding C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
The Kimberley Community Development Society has awarded Focus Corporation with the contract to complete design services for the expansion of the Kimberley Riverside Campground. $50,000 has been budgeted for the design project, sourced from the KCDS/Campground capital reserve. The contract is worth $31,415; wages for the City Project Coordinator will be drawn from this budget. Expansion of the campground has always been planned. It is a very successful opera-
tion, owned by the City of Kimberley and operated by KCDS. What has accelerated expansion plans is the loss of nine fully serviced sites due to bank erosion during the high water in 2013. It is planned to add 25 to 35 full serviced sites — depending on available space and expansion design. A new washroom and shower facility is also part of the project. The Campground has over 140 private sites with partial or full services including; power (15-50 amp), water and sewer, back in or pull-through sites, and a variety of tenting

One more prize is to be awarded at the Artrageous art exhibition now drawing to a close in the Gallery at Centre 64. Visitors to the exhibition can add their votes for the People’s Choice Award until 5 p.m. on Saturday, January 31, when the votes will be counted and the winner announced. The People Choice Award is the fifth prize to be awarded to artists exhibiting in this colourful, imaginative, and unusual exhibition honoring the memory of Lou Wanuk. An anonymous donor presented the Wanuk family with $500 to be spent annually on an exhibition to reflect the late Lou Wanuk’s appreciation of artforms that were exuberant, lively, unusual, even outrageous. Lou’s daughters, Darcy and Lisa, approached the Kimberley Arts Council’s visual arts committee with ideas out of which the Artrageous exhibition was born. This first annual Artrageous show opened on January 6 at which time four prize-winners were picked, one by the Wanuk family, and three by a panel of arts council jurors. At the opening reception on January 10 the winners were announced.

The next Committee of the Whole meetings is February 2nd at 6:00 p.m. in Council Chamber. Upcoming regular meetings are on Tuesday, February 10th (due to the BC Family Day holiday on Monday the 9th) and on Monday, February 23rd. Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) Funding – Each year, the CBT supports projects identified as priorities within individual communities.

Deadline for applications is February 16, 2015 with the meeting scheduled for Wednesday, April 15th at 6:00 pm. Visit the City’s web site for more info. Clearing Snow and Ice – Icy sidewalks can be a hazard for everyone including seniors, children, mail carriers, meter readers, firefighters and paramedics. As the weather warms up and then freezes again, water from melting snow can run onto cleared sidewalks. Here are a few tips to help maintain your walkways: • Warm weather during the day can make ice soft, so it’s easier to chip or shovel away. • Spread sand or gravel on icy patches to make your sidewalk safer for pedestrians. Spreading sand on a sidewalk before ice forms can also make future ice easier to remove. • Microwaving sand in a microwave-safe container and spreading it while it is still warm will make the sand embed itself into the ice, creating a gritty top layer. • Pile snow in a place where it will not run across your sidewalk when it melts and aim your downspouts away from areas where people walk.
Career Opportunities - The City currently has three positions posted: Administrative Assistant (Exempt), Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator and Casual Lifeguard/Instructor.

Turner and Adler present ‘Gypsy’
Key City Theatre February 12, 13, 14, 2015 BARRY COULTER Townsman Editor
A newly formed East Kootenay live theatre company is presenting as its inaugural production one of the most beloved musicals of the 20th century next month. “Gypsy” is a 1959 musical, loosely based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, a famous striptease artist, and focuses on her mother, Rose — “the ultimate show business mother.” It follows the dreams and efforts of Rose to raise two daughters to perform onstage and looks affectionately at the hardships of show business life. The music is by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and book by Arthur Laurents. It contains many songs that became popular standards. Eilzabeth Adler, co-Artistic Director of Turner & Adler Productions, which is bringing Gypsy to the Cranbrook stage, said when they were decid-

ing which show they should present as their inaugural production, they knew that above all, they wanted an entertaining musical that showed audiences a wide range of ages and
showcased the amazing talent that our area has to offer. “‘Gypsy’ was the perfect choice for many reasons – being about show business, theatre life and having
some of the most wellknown music and characters of all time,” Adler said. The piece has often been referred to as the greatest American musical by numerous critics and writers. “‘Gypsy’ hails from the Golden Era of musical theatre,” Adler said, “and holds within it a timeless story not only of what it means to work in a theatre, but the intricate relationships between a mother, her daughters and their dreams. “Being that it is based on the true-life story of how Gypsy Rose Lee got her start on the stage, it’s realism appeals to a wide range of people. The music is fun, powerful and helps tell the emotional story behind these real characters. And although funny and entertaining, this is an incredibly moving story of a single mother’s struggle to provide for her children and give them the skills to be independent in an ever-changing world.” “Gypsy” opens Thursday, Feb. 12, 2015, at the Key City Theatre. It is directed by Tylene Turner, co-Artistic Director of Turner & Adler Productions, and features Adler herself as Mama Rose, Emily Bohmer as Louise, Clara MacLeod as June, Jerrod Bondy as Herbie, Eve MacBride as Baby June and Chloe Dickerson as Baby Louise.
“This show has a myriad of actors, both experienced and new to the stage,” Adler said. “Audiences will recognize their friends, neighbors, local “celebrities” and local business owners! Adler said that casting the play was a joy. “There are so many talented folk of all ages in Kimberley and Cranbrook. We have the privilege of working with a lot of the recognizable actors in the area who bring with them their extensive theatre skills. But what is really exciting is that this production attracted so many new people who have little or no experience on the stage! “Rehearsals have been incredibly rewarding – the director, Tylene Turner has made it both a fun and positive learning environment. The cast is bringing these characters to life in a way that will prove to be extremely entertaining and interesting for audiences to watch.” “Gypsy” is on stage at the Key City Theatre on February 12, 13 & 14, 2015 – show begins at 7:30pm. Tickets are on sale at Key City Theatre, or online at www. keycitytheatre.com, or online through Snapd East Kootenay at https://eastkootenay. snapd.com.

Dalke wraps up Extreme Huntress Tre vor Crawley
After 13 episodes chronicling various hunts and challenges between six competitors, Sweden’s Erika Bergmark captured the title of Extreme Huntress, as the winner was unveiled earlier this month at a banquet in Texas. Despite her best efforts on the ranch, Kimberley resident Nikita Dalke came out as the runner-up, after all the points were totalled up. The show was judged 30 per cent by challenge scores, 30 per cent by online votes and 40 per cent by field judges. The show was filmed last summer at the 777

Ranch in Hondo, TX, over the course of a week. In the fall, 13 episodes were released on a weekly basis, following each hunt and skills challenge faced by all six competitors. Bergmark, announced as the winner at a Dallas Safari Club banquet, was considered the odds-on favourite after the final episode aired. “We all had a sense that it would be Erika,” said Dalke. However, there wasn’t much of a grand prize beyond bragging rights. “All she got above the other girls was name recognition and being the title-holder and she was also given a sculpture,” said Dalke. Bergmark knocked it out of the park with the fastest time in the final challenge—a one mile biathlon with two shooting stations and a long-distance shot at the end. Her scores helped put her over the top and into first place, as the show tallied all the points collected based on challenges such as responding to anti-hunter abuse, accuracy and distance shooting and facing down dangerous game. In between the challenges, the six competitors were also sent out into the ranch to hunt for various animals. The ladies were give the opportunity to hunt a management animal—one dictated by the ranch managers—and a trophy animal.

On Friday January 23rd, 2015, Cranbrook RCMP received a call of a stolen Golden Retriever Dog named Roxy. The owner of Roxy reported that two unknown females attended her residence in the 1900 Block of Kelowna Crescent in a light blue/ green newer compact car. The females opened the car door and the 8 year old dog jumped in. The vehicle then drove away. The owner’s friend attempted to stop the vehicle but was unable to do so. The owner has had Roxy for eight years and would like her returned. Cranbrook RCMP is asking anyone with any information about this dog theft to call the Cranbrook RCMP Detachment at 250-4893471 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222TIPS(8477).

paired up with another competitor for each hunt, while field judges and a camera crew tagged along into the ranch pastures. It was all a worthwhile experience, said Dalke, who noted that the friendships she made will be her most enduring memories from the show. “We all got pretty close and became pretty good friends and just making friends with the owners of the ranch and the guys that worked there and the camera crew,” said Dalke. “The judges, too.” The 777 Ranch is a 25,000-acre property that
ing herds from 80 countries and 5 continents. Dalke got the chance to hunt some animals not normally seen around the Cranbrook/Kimberley region. However, that hasn’t sparked any plans for an extreme hunting trip. “It would be fun, for sure. But I don’t really have a big aspiration to go to Africa or anything,” said Dalke. “I really liked the ranch though, because you got to see so many different animals that are from all over the world, and even ones that don’t exist anymore.”

Finally, at the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre in Ile Des Chenes, Manitoba, they have a new, diminutive greeter — a crow named Jet. Jet came in with a broken wing and to the surprise of workers at the centre, he speaks. English. Clearly. Because one of his favourite words is ‘hello’ Jet will be placed at the front door to greet visitors. Which is all well and good, but he can’t be at the front door 24-7. He will need to rest. Workers have already found he doesn’t care for small spaces. Not too small anyway. I wonder if Jet would be interested in a micro-condo in Surrey? I hear they’re a real steal.

Opinion/Events
Our MP David Wilks stated in a recent letter to the editor that we live “in a world of global terrorism” and went on to extol the virtues of Canada’s military. If Mr. Wilks thinks that using our armed forces to combat “global terrorism” is a good idea then I suggest that he be a little more forthcoming about the costs of such action and it’s dubious consequences. Our very brief bombing campaign in Libya cost the taxpayer close to $350 million and what did we get for our money? Last time I read about Libya embassies were being evacuated and Westerners were fleeing the country as various factions battled for control of Tripoli. The hunt for Bin Laden is said to have cost over $500 billion US! Obviously this is an expensive game to play and I wonder if it is even an effective strategy regardless of the cost. ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) will soon be pulling out of Afganistan and will be leaving behind a country which 90 per cent of it’s GDP is dependent on foreign military spending and aid and is still grappling with civil war and crippling poverty. If Canada allows itself to get caught up in this unwinnable cycle of vi-
olence it will soon spiral out of control and the inevitable “mission creep” phenomenon will take hold. Nothing would make the commanders of Islamist militant groups happier than “boots on the ground” — otherwise known as targets. There is no way forward in a strategy that involves the use of force that will not result in civilian casualties; especially in a guerrilla war situation. This is a sure fire recipe to cause resentment and hatred. The situation with ISIS is not our problem unless we choose to make it so. The recent events in France do underline the possibility of bloodshed in the name of militant Islam but to respond in an aggressive manner only fans the flames of bigotry and xenophobia. I would not like to see us reduce our civil liberties for some vague assurance of so-called “security.” I would rather live with a minute amount of risk than to give up my freedom of expression, assembly and so on. There is always risk in life and I don’t trust the Harper government one iota when it comes to preserving that freedom. In closing I’d like to comment on the recent tragic event in Ottawa. That was the action of a mentally unstable individ-
ual. He stole an antiquated hunting rifle from a relative which he used to commit the crime. He supposedly had some loose connection to the Islamic faith but to present this as a politically motivated terrorist attack is pure rubbish and fear-mongering. We need to spend more money on helping individuals like this get the help they need and not use sad events like this to justify inching us towards being a clone of the paranoid and patriotic neighbor to the south.

Men, women and the existence of God
D
id you hear about the agnostic dyslexic insomniac? She lay awake all night wondering if there was a Dog. But she’s a pretty rare bird. According to a large survey carried out in the United Kingdom by Professor David Voas of the University of Essex, more than half of British men who are now in their early forties (54 per cent) are agnostics or atheists, but only one-third of women of the same age (34 per cent) hold similar views. The gender difference was even more striking when the 9,000 respondents were asked about their belief in a life after death. Only 35 per cent of the men said they believed that there was some kind of individual survival beyond the grave; 60 per cent of women said they did. That’s a difference of almost two-toone in the level of belief, among people who otherwise have similar backgrounds. Hmm. Now, this is obviously a topic on which a wise commentator would be very wary of offering an opinion. Much safer to keep your mouth shut and write about something else. Which may explain why this whole question about gender differences in belief in God came as a surprise to me, because when I looked into the literature it turns out that the social scientists have known about it for ages. There is a thriving academic industry dedicated to proposing reasons for this huge belief gap. One theory holds that men are just more likely to be risk-takers (except Blaise Pascal, the 17th-century French philosopher whose famous “wager” stated that we should live our live as if God exists in order to escape an eternity of torture in Hell. If He turns out not to exist, we haven’t really lost all that
much. It was a breakthrough in probability theory). Another theory is that men who score relatively high on the autism scale are also more likely to be atheists or agnostics. But that doesn’t really get us very far, since the great majority of men are not autistic, and yet a majority of British men don’t believe in God. You will note that I am only quoting speculations on male character traits here. Some of the above-mentioned social scientists also speculate on aspects of “female” socialisation and character Gwynne in their search for reasons for the great disparity in Dyer belief, but that is a minefield I do not plan to enter today. Let us instead go beyond Professor Voas’s statistics for Britain and see whether the same difference persists across cultures and continents. Belief in God is much higher in the United States, although it is dropping rapidly. A Harris poll in 2009 found that 82 per cent of Americans had never doubted the existence of God; the same poll in 2014 found that the number had fallen to 74 per cent. This is due almost entirely to a fall in belief among younger Americans: a Pew poll of “millennials” in 2007 found that 83 per cent were believers; the same poll in 2012 found only 68 per cent. But the gender gap in belief also exists in the US, although it is less dramatic: 77 per cent of American women say they have an absolutely certain belief in a God or universal spirit, but only 65 per cent of American men say the same. Indeed, the gap exists in every country of the developed world, although there are intriguing national differences in how wide it is. In former West Germany, where 48 per cent of the population believe in

Letters to the Editor Mission Creep
Thursday, January 29, 2015
God, the gap between men and women is 8 per cent. In former East Germany, the cradle of the Protestant Reformation, where four decades of Communist rule eroded the hold of Christianity on the population, only 16 per cent believe in God — but the gap between men and women is less than 3 per cent. 58 per cent of Russians believe in God, but the gender gap is as big as it is in Britain: 25 per cent. Whereas in Turkey, a relatively developed Muslim country where almost 95 per cent of the population believe in God, there is no difference at all between the beliefs of men and of women. What are we to make of all this? Start with the fact that decisions of this sort are rarely made on an entirely rational basis. Just as the great majority of believers everywhere never chose their original religious beliefs — they were just born into them — so any later changes in their beliefs are probably driven more by their personal circumstances than by conscious choice. Consider the difference between the two Germanies, for example. So what are the differences between the personal circumstances of men and women that might lead to different outcomes in terms of belief? That will obviously vary from one country to another, but women still suffer from greater social and economic disadvantages than men almost everywhere. If you have less control over the course of your own life, then belief in an all-powerful God who is just, and will ultimately put all the injustices right, is a very attractive proposition. In that case, the gender gap in belief is neither intellectual nor emotional. It’s simply pragmatic. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Lethbridge Hurricanes use three-goal third period to double Ice Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
A grand total of four minutes and 15 seconds is all it took for the Lethbridge Hurricanes to put the Kootenay Ice to rest Wednesday night. The host Hurricanes put three pucks past Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin over a span of 4:15 to start the third period, effectively and efficiently swiping two points from their Central Division rival in front of 2,619 fans at the Enmax Centre in Lethbridge. Hurricanes forward Pavel Skumatov began the onslaught 2:39 into the final period by putting a rebound past Hoflin. The goal, Skumatov’s fourth of the campaign, gave the Hurricanes a two-goal lead after captain Tyler Wong had put his team out front 3-2 late in the second period. After Skumatov’s doorstep goal, Giorgio
Estephan piled on 1:42 later, giving the Hurricanes a 5-2 chokehold with 15:49 remaining in regulation. Rookie Brandon Kennedy poured salt in the wound 2:43 later, putting a sixth goal past Hoflin, ending the Kootenay keeper’s night as Keelan Williams was sent in to mop up. Hurricanes goaltender, Jayden Sittler -- a former member of the Kootenay Ice, made 38 saves to backstop his new team to victory. Sittler was dealt from the Ice to the Victoria Royals in exchange for a sixth-round bantam draft pick after he lost out on the backup job to Williams. After spending some time on Vancouver Island, Sittler was then sent to the Hurricanes in exchange for a seventh-round bantam draft pick. Since landing in Southern Alberta, Sittler has been steady, going
3-3-0 with a 3.77 goalsagainst average and 0.915 save percentage. Sittler, a native of Red Deer, wasn’t the only player making his first appearance against his former club Wednesday. Ice defenceman Lenny Hackman returned to Lethbridge for the first time since being dealt from the Hurricanes in exchange for a 12th-round bantam draft pick Jan. 8. Hackman finished the night with a minus-1 rating and no points. The Ice gave up two separate leads, both in the first period, prior to folding the tent in the third. In a span of 45 seconds, the Ice and Hurricanes combined for three goals to open the game. Ice forward Austin Vetterl kickstarted the barrage with his seventh of the campaign before Hurricanes rookie affiliate player (AP) Zane

Kootenay Ice forward Tim Bozon battles with Hurricanes defenceman Scott Allan in front of goaltender Jayden Sittler Wednesday night. Bozon had a goal and an assist as the Ice fell to the Hurricanes 6-3. Franklin tallied his first-career WHL goal to tie the game 27 seconds later. On the following shift, Ice captain Sam Reinhart skated down the wing and fired a shot by Sittler, restoring his team’s lead. The response time for Reinhart was a mere 18 seconds
following Franklin’s tally. On top of three consecutive third periods goals, the Hurricanes score two in the second period, with Brayden Burke tying the game 2-2 before Wong put his team in front for good. Across the final two periods, the Hurricanes scored five consecutive goals before Tim Bozon registered a late power-play marker to round
out the scoring. The tally was Bozon’s 20th of the season. The native of Valbonne, France, is riding a fourgame point streak, which has seen him score six goals and three assists. Hoflin was pulled after surrendering six goals on 23 shots. Williams was only called on to make one save in 13:06 of action in the third period.
Despite the 6-3 loss, the Ice outshot the Hurricanes 41-24. Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill was unavailable for comment following the game. Next up, the Ice open a seven-game homestand when they welcome the Regina Pats to Western Financial Place Friday night.

Nelson hosted a twoday indoor soccer tournament over the weekend that featured over 61 games and 200 players, attracting soccer enthusiasts from Cranbrook, Castlegar, Fernie, Kimberley and Invermere. “We were bringing the east and west together, under one banner. This is a one-of-a-kind thing for the area, and for the whole Kootenays,” said Whitecaps regional head coach Brett Adams. “A lot of people don’t see the work that’s done behind the scenes to make this happen. But the proof is in the pudding when you can get 200-plus players out for a weekend. It’s more than worth it to see the reactions of the players and the parents. They can see where we’re going as a soccer community in the Kootenays,” he said. “It is really exciting to be able to do this and
especially with the access to the Nelson soccer indoor facility,” he added. During the tournament, players from U-10 to U-14 were mixed randomly together. The kids played alongside people from other communities, which was a team-bridging experience for them, said Adams. “It’s a huge benefit for them to play with other players.” He said 10-year-old Nelsonite Jalen Rushton was the standout performer, scoring 14 goals in the tournament. Grand Forks 14-yearold Finn Dribney also had a spectacular performance, scoring seven goals in what Adams called a “really competitive tournament.” In the older age groups, which played
competitively, the Kootenay West Team 2 won the top spot, winning 4-1. Adams said the most impressive performances were by the goaltenders: Nelsonites Bella Guderyan, 15, and Hannah Quinn, 15; Trail resident Paige Gattafoni, 16; and Invermere player Wasyn Rice, 16. “In an indoor tournament the shots are coming at them left, right and centre. There’s a lot of pressure on them to be able to stand up to the amount of pressure they’re under.” He said he was particularly impressed that Quinn and Guderyan, who just turned 15, held their own against the older players. Adams said as the club gathers momentum, they’re going to start seeing big achieve-
ments in the next few years. He added that the older boys had a great weekend as well, and Trail player Nolan Derosa played “an unbelievable technical game and stood out as a leader for the team”. “The level of fitness, the level of understanding of the game the boys demonstrated, was incredible. There was no kick and rush, and they were really playing attractive soccer,” he said. Adams said they’re now working with colleges and universities to place some of their more elite players, including Derosa. Adams said the weekend was an excellent networking opportunity. “This weekend we had parents from all over the Kootenays talking to each other, getting involved, intermingling. To put that on and collect all of us under one banner is remarkable, and long may it continue.”

Kootenay Kwik Print Kootenay Kwik Print has been chosen as the Member of the Month by the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce. The business is a longtime member of the Chamber and has been in the community for decades. The business does all types of commercial printing, digital and offset, from business forums to office material. Glenn Johnson is now owner of the business, which was originally his parents’ company. Johnson has been working there since he was 16. “I started 37 years ago,” he said. “I am now the sole owner.” He said in those decades he’s seen the printing industry go through some drastic changes. “Everything is electronic and digital now, where it was all manual paste up and labour intensive,” he said. “That’s the biggest thing, with the computers now everything is digital.” Johnson said they have been a Chamber member for as long as he has been working there. He added the Chamber is a great support for the business in the community. “Being a member and being promoted by them because of the service we provide has helped,” Johnson said. The list of services that are available Kootenay Kwik Print is a long one. “We do pretty much every type of printing you can think of — offset and digital,” he said.

Elk Valley Water Quality Plan With
MLA, The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce is an active participatory member of the BC Chamber of Commerce. Working together with Chambers throughout BC we work to address issues of common concern by developing and advancing policy. This month’s feature is Local & Regional Government
Bill Bennett

The Ministry of Environment has approved the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan – to address the management of selenium and other substances released by mining activities throughout the Elk Valley watershed.
Through taxation, bylaws, permitting and other forms of red tape, local and regional governments have a significant impact on B.C. businesses’ ability to succeed. The Issue: Business is increasingly viewing the governance and funding structure of local governments as unsustainable and in need of substantial reform. Businesses across B.C. are expressing a growing level of concern about the impact local governments have on a company’s ability to grow. While the range of concerns expressed by the business community are varied and often reflect local circumstances, there are a number of common themes. These are: the challenge around funding, the regulatory burden, infrastructure requirements, a lack of accountability, capacity and the increase in the range of issues within local government’s purview. The BC Chamber Goal: The BC Chamber’s goal is to ensure local governments are constructive partners in developing vibrant and sustainable local economies. We Recommend: The BC Chamber recommends that the provincial government: • increase the efficiency and accountability of local governments, • re-instate the business vote in B.C., • study the best practices of urban and rural regional governance, • develop a sustainable funding model for local government, and

Executive Director’s
Report At a recent strategic planning session the board of directors of the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce discussed membership. Although the Chamber has enjoyed sustained growth over the last number of years there is always a desire to grow our member-based organization. We discussed why companies join the Chamber and what creates retention. I cited oft-quoted comments from “Chamber Gurus” at conferences I have attended. “People join for what is in it for them and stay for the advocacy.” And of course, ongoing tangible benefits continue to be a demonstrable incentive added to the successes and positive change
the Chamber’s advocacy work provides. The board was updated on all the discounts chamber membership provides, ranging from Member-to-Member offerings, vehicle fuels, natural gas, telephone, and office supplies along with very favourable payment processing rates

Panorama offering Mudd, Sweat & Tears
Resort chosen as venue for Mudd, Sweat & Tears Rockies obstacle course race Sept. 12, 2015. Submit ted
PANORAMA, B.C. – Panorama is preparing for hundreds of fitness buffs, runners and adventure-seekers to descend on the resort to compete in the inaugural Mudd, Sweat & Tears Rockies obstacle course mud run on September 12th, 2015. Mudd, Sweat & Tears Canada (MST) — an all-Canadian adventure racing company — recently confirmed Panorama as the seventh stop on their 2015 national schedule. The event, to be held Purcell Mountain range near Invermere, promises to deliver eight kilometres of mud-soaked crawling, trail running, and climbing over a series of natural and signature obstacles. “As the host venue for a variety of downhill skiing, Nordic and mountain bike events, coupled with their expansive and varied terrain, Panorama was the logical choice for a longterm race location in the area,” said John Reed of Mudd, Sweat & Tears Canada. “The resort’s family friendly alpine village feel, stunning vistas and super steeps are com-

rain that we have and our track record of hosting major outdoor events was a natural fit with Mudd, Sweat & Tears.” Obstacle course racing is one of the latest fitness trends to move everyone from adrenaline aficionados to routine health buffs. MST focuses on designing obstacles and races cus-
tomized to the venue from ski resorts and famous landmarks to urban city centres, each course is chosen and designed with Canada’s ultimate outdoor adventure terrain in mind.
For 2015, the MST will be introducing a “Get in the Mudd” program which gives beginners a challenging but less-extreme option at the most difficult obstacles on the course. This

Green MLA Andrew Weaver to seek party leadership Tom Fle tc her Black Press
He took a pay cut to go from the tranquil groves of academe to the bare-knuckle brawl of B.C. politics, but Andrew Weaver says he’s ready to lead the B.C. Green Party into the next election. The first-term Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA told reporters at the legislature this week he made up his mind over the Christmas holidays to carry on with his political career, after two years of keeping his options open. Weaver said he will stand for the leadership of the party as it tries to consolidate its Vancouver Island foothold of one provincial and one federal seat, held by federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May. He said that leadership vote likely won’t be until 2016, to prepare for the next scheduled B.C. election in 2017. A mathematician

KELOWNA, B.C. Mounties are searching for a man who they say has leapfrogged between British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan robbing banks at gunpoint. At a news conference in Kelowna, B.C., Tuesday, Mounties said the man has robbed eight banks over an eight-week period. The first robbery police recorded was Dec. 1 in Princeton, B.C. Eight days later the same man was 200 kilometres to the north where he held up a Vernon financial institution. Between Dec. 19 and Jan. 21, the same suspect jumped between the three provinces, holding up banks in High River, Alta., Merritt, B.C., Swift Current, Sask., Lethbridge, Alta., Claresholm, Alta., and finally Langley, B.C. RCMP Const. Kris Clark said the sheer number of robberies by the same suspect concerns police. “We have a series in the past, but nothing
%
necessarily to this extent, with the number of robberies that have occurred and crossing multiple jurisdictions and multiple provinces.” No one has been hurt in the robberies, Clark said. “It’s also very concerning that a firearm has been involved in all incidents either the mention (of a weapon) or produced and obviously we’re concerned for public safety.” Clark said in each case the man walked in and demanded money, then simply walked out. No vehicles were spotted. Pictures of the man entering the banks he robbed were released during the news conference. In every picture he’s dressed in black, wears dark glasses and either a hoodie or a toque. He’s described as Caucasian, has a slim build, is between 25 and 35 years old, stands between 5 feet 6 inches to six feet tall, is unshaven and wears a goatee or a beard. Police said they’re confident that the same suspect is responsible for all the robberies and they’re asking the public to help identify him.

after winning the party’s first-ever B.C. seat, and the party appointed Saanich North and the Islands candidate Adam Olsen as interim leader instead. Olsen has indicated he will run again in the seat where he came close in 2013, with voters who supported
May in the last federal election. Despite the marginal role given independent MLAs, Weaver has made an impression on the government and the opposition NDP. Premier Christy Clark has taken to praising his ideas, such as his call to replace flat-rate Medical Services Plan premiums with a system that shifts more of the cost to high-income earners. Clark ruled that out for the February budget, but said Weaver’s suggestions are refreshing after the negative rhetoric of the NDP. NDP leader John Horgan said promoting Weaver is just more political tactics by Clark. “I think they’re trying to draw attention away from us, who I think are doing a relatively effective job, and trying to put a spotlight on someone who may well cut our grass over the long term,” Horgan said.

It happened this week in Cranbrook
Week January 25 - 31
Dav e H u m p h r e y Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1904 A BIG MEETING … The meeting of the local Liberal association last Thursday evening at their rooms in the Watt’s block was well attended, the occasion being the visit of Mr. W. A. Gralliher, M. P., representative in the Dominion parliament for the district of Yale-Cariboo, and the nominee of the liberal party for the new district of Kootenay. The meeting was an informal one, called on short notice, yet there were between 90 and 100 members present. SEA GIVES UP ITS DEAD … The Body Of Mrs. Bolton Found Near Port Angeles. The remains of Mrs. E Bolton, nee Gurd, were found near Port Angeles last Friday and taken to Victoria, where they were identified by the sorrowing husband, who had been devoting his time and energies to this quest since the terrible disaster to the steamer Callam robbed him of his bride. Arrangements were made at once for forwarding the remains to Cranbrook and they arrived Wednesday afternoon, accompanied by the husband and his mother, who had gone to the coast to join him. Truly it was a sorrowful day for Cranbrook. Every business house had been closed, and when the train arrived, a vast throng wended their way to the Presbyterian Church to pay their respects to the memory of one who in life was beloved by all who knew her. And when the casket was carried up the church aisle, covered with floral tributes from sorrowing friends and relatives, there was hardly a dry eye, and here and there were sobs from those unable to control their intense grief. Rev. Fortune, pastor of the church, had charge of the services. Several hymns were sung by the choir, and a solo by Mr. McLeod. Rev. Fortune preached a brief, but impressive sermon, referring touchingly to the bereavement of the family and the noble qualities of mind that had characterized the deceased in life. At the close a large number of people, in vehicles and on foot, attended the remains to the cemetery, where the last sad rites were performed. COLD WEATHER COMFORTS … No Woman Likes winter washing - It is too cold, too disagreeable, unless the right appliances are used. We have the appliances! Round Reacting Washers. Sunshine Washers. The Right Kind of Wringers They make Washing Easy. J. D. McBRIDE Who Sells Everything in Hardware.
NEW REGISTER … Hill & Co., have just received a new cash register that is a marvel. It will keep the sales of each clerk separate, figure up the totals, throw out bad money, ring a bell if a customer is no good, mark down the fact that a clerk arrives late, and close up automatically the day that drafts are due. Hundreds of people have gone in to see this register, and its hypnotic power is so strong that once an individual looks at its wonderful mechanising it is impossible for him to leave the store without making a cash purchase. OUCH! … Monday evening while engaged in storing hay in the loft of his new livery barn, N. C. McKinstry met with a very painful accident. He had a plank, running to the second floor, on which an assistant was pulling the bales up by means of a rope, while “Mac” engineered matters below. When nearing the top the wire on one of the bales broke and the bale fell striking Mr. McKinstry squarely in the face, peeling his nose and lip as scientifically as if he had been “mixing” in with Fitzsimmons or Jeffry. NEW SIDINGS … The euphonious Indian names Chokio and Cokato (pronounced Sko-ky-o and Coe-kate-o) have been bestowed upon two new rail sidings, which have been lately installed on the Cranbrook section. 1905 BIG ADDITION TO ROYAL ... L. B. VanDecar, ever pushing forward, has prepared the plans for a large addition to his already immense hotel, and work will start as soon as the frost is out of the ground. The addition will be 85 by 32 feet, two stories high. The lower floor will be devoted to bar, billiard, card and reading rooms, and on the second floor there will be sixteen bed rooms. There will be a fine rosewood bar installed, but the billiard room will be a revelation for a town the size of Cranbrook. It will be 32 by 60 feet, and will have four billiard and pool tables, including an English table. This room will be fitted with every modern equipment and made as attractive as possible. The dining room will also be enlarged and increased facilities given for work in the kitchen. The contemplated improvements will cost from $12,000 to $15,000. The new part will be heated with steam, there will be a private dining room for evenings, and everything arranged for the comfort of the guests. When the addition is completed the hotel will have 91 bed rooms, and 116 rooms all told. That will make it the largest hotel in the country, and one of
the most convenient. NO GUNFIGHTS … Cranbrook is a poor town for the practice of a gun play. This place has no use for gun men. The penitentiary is the best place for individuals of that character. SLEIGH PARTY ... The choir of the Methodist church and others, making a party of about forty, indulged in a sleigh ride to Fort Steele last Thursday evening. Fort Steele has become the Mecca for all the sleighing parties of Cranbrook. I t makes a pleasant drive and is a nice place to rest at the Imperial. INCREASED VALUATION ... There has been a big increase in the assessed valuation of the property of Cranbrook during the past year. This year it is about 100 per cent more than last, an increase from $251,000 to $504,000. HOCKEY GAME … On Saturday a hockey game will be played between the ladies and bankers. The bankers will only be allowed to use one hand. Lots of fun is expected. Seats will be provided for spectators CRANBROOK EAGLES … Last evening an aerie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles was duly organized in the Odd Fellows hall, and the institution of this latest and worthy addition to Cranbrook’s large list of secret societies was attended by all the earmarks of lasting success and prosperity. There were 56 candidates initiated into the mysteries of the order as charter members, including several from Marysville and Kimberley, and many others have their applications filed. The institution of the new aerie was under the supervision of A. W. Von Rhein, of Esquimalt, provincial deputy grand president, who was ably assisted by the officers of the Moyie Aerie. The initiatory ceremony was most impressively carried through by the degree teams of both the Moyie and Fernie Aeries. 1906 SUCCESSFUL MASQUERADE … The masquerade ball that was given by the C.P.R. Quadrille Club last evening was one of the most successful balls ever given in Cranbrook. The hall was crowded so after 9 o’clock by a perplexing aggregation of beautiful creations and comical combinations. Courtiers and tramps, Night and Day, saints and the devil, Japanese and Greeks, dukes and dandies, monks and monkeys, in fact shadows from the historical past, memories of tradition, and pages from the practical present were portrayed in one way and another. Everybody had a good
time, and everybody danced to their hearts content. It was a great success and a most enjoyable one from every standpoint.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll make sense out of what is unclear to others. People seem relieved to hear what you have to share. Be careful, as someone around you might be acting in a provocative manner, possibly behind the scenes. Your instincts will initiate a talk. Tonight: Chat time! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be more possessive than you realize. You also might veil your actions by emphasizing the friendship that lies between you and another person. The real issue seems to be determining what kind of friendship you want. Tonight: Do something just for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You tend to work with vague instructions well. You do what you want in situations that are confusing. Still, you might need to explain the hows and whys to a contemporary. A friend might continue to act strangely. Observe more and judge less. Tonight: As you like it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Pressure builds, but you are unlikely to express what ails you. You might suppress much of what is going on, but a loved one will pick up your nonverbal signals. Don’t just assume that your thoughts are cloaked; you will find out otherwise soon enough. Tonight: Not to be found. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Zero in on your priorities, and don’t let others distract you. You could seem confused to those who don’t understand your focus. The unexpected continues to add excitement, be it through a person at a distance or through your own explorations. Tonight: Among friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You seem to have very high expectations for yourself. You also tend to assume a leadership position in situations. Your style might be different, but it’s effective. You know when to break a pattern and when not to. Others observe your confidence. Tonight: Out late. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tundra
Keep your focus when dealing with a friend or loved one at a distance. Your conversation could stray all over the place, as this person tends to be unpredictable. Stay on topic and help this person do the same. If you succeed, you both will be happier. Tonight: All smiles. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Togetherness remains a theme between you and a special person. How much you choose to share with others will be up to you. Your imagination could distort a situation. Try to eliminate an emotional response for now. Tonight: Opt to work as a team. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Defer to a very dominant friend or associate. This person tends to come up with morsels of information that you cannot ignore. His or her mind works very differently from how yours works. Know when to call a halt to a cyclical conversation. Tonight: Ask provocative questions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will remain on top of a personal matter and draw
unusual results if you follow a hunch. Use caution with your funds, and try not to make any financial commitments right now. You could be surprised by a situation involving your home. Tonight: Try slowing down. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your imagination seems to affect your actions as well as others’ responses. Be aware of how you could be coloring many different situations, and don’t make any formal decisions. Someone who knows you well could surprise you. Tonight: Be naughty and nice. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be stuck in your own head, rather than participating in the actual events happening around you. The issue you are attempting to resolve remains significant, at least to you. Listen to your sixth sense, and you’ll gain a surprising insight. Tonight: At home. BORN TODAY Media proprietor Oprah Winfrey (1954), actor Tom Selleck (1945), comedian W.C. Fields (1880)

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Last summer, my 19-year-old college student granddaughter asked to rent my basement bedroom, with its own bathroom and access to my laundry room. I agreed and asked for a minimum rent to cover utilities. She attends school on a scholarship and works two full-time jobs, and I postponed payment of rent until her next student loan came through. The problem was, her unemployed, single-parent boyfriend with no car or driver’s license was here all the time. I offered suggestions of nearby job opportunities and the chance to work off his “rent” by helping out around the yard. But he always had an excuse as to why the jobs wouldn’t work out and never seemed physically up to doing any yard work. I did my best to make this situation work. However, they were having parties when I was away and trashing my home. After the second time we had words, they left, leaving most of her stuff here. She then decided to move in with her parents, although she was actually living with her boyfriend and his parents. My son and daughter-in-law have not said or done anything about this situation. I think they are enabling their daughter. She came back once for clothing and then informed me that I could go in with the rest of her family for her Christmas present to furnish an apartment for her and said boyfriend. That was the last straw. I gave her a Christmas card with a note saying her gift is that she does not owe me the two months’ rent and four months’ storage of what is still in that bedroom. My granddaughter and her mother are both upset with me. I feel she was deceitful, rude and disrespectful of my home and me. I am not handing out any more favors until she grows up. Am I wrong? -- Tough Love Grandma Dear Tough: Not at all, but you cannot expect your freeloading granddaughter and her enabling mother to agree with you. You do not owe anyone a furnished apartment. Do whatever you think best and ignore the rest. We’re on your side. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Run Out of Ideas,” whose high-school graduate nephew plays video games in his parents’ house all day and seems to have no interest in growing up and being responsible. This nephew has lots of company. Please address the “boy crisis” in this country. Thousands of young men in their late teens and 20s are just like the nephew: “perfectly content not to go anywhere in life.” Your advice wasn’t wrong, but it ignored the fact that his nephew represents a social trend and a problem. Maybe you should explore what’s wrong with our society that so many young men are so disinterested in being productive and pursuing success. -- Waco, Texas Dear Waco: There are plenty of young men who are productive, successful and responsible members of society. For the others, there are undoubtedly myriad reasons: difficulty in finding employment, poor wages and high turnover, substance abuse, mental illness, laziness and overly indulgent parents who issue no consequences for loitering. Studies show that job-hopping is no more excessive for this generation than previous ones. Parents have to insist that their kids be educated, find work and pay rent, or get counseling to achieve those goals. But decent employment has to be available, or recent graduates will float from job to job feeling undervalued, being underpaid and getting nowhere. Here’s a suggestion from one of our readers: Dear Annie: “Run Out of Ideas” should have a local military recruiter visit his nephew “Peter.” There is no better organization in the world to turn kids into adults. -- John Q.

Maureen Pamela Bailie October 23, 1934 to January 16, 2015
It is with deep sorrow that the family of Maureen Bailie announces her passing on January 16, 2015. She died peacefully in her sleep after a long battle with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Maureen was born and raised in Laval, Quebec where she met Lew, her loving husband of sixty years. The two of them spent many memorable years in Laval before moving to Belleville, Ontario where they lived for twenty five years. Maureen and Lew then continued west to Calgary before finally retiring in Kimberley B.C. fourteen years ago. No matter where she lived, Maureen loved to spend time outdoors. She was passionate about canoeing and camping and had many memorable wilderness trips with her family. She absolutely loved to paddle a canoe and could paddle all day long, without a word of complaint, no matter what the weather. After a long day of paddling, she loved nothing more than relaxing on the beach with Lew, enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine. Maureen is survived by her loving husband, Lew; daughters, Pamela and Leigh; and sister, Norma. She will be greatly missed. At Maureenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request there will be no funeral service, but a Celebration of Maureenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life will be held in the spring. We would like to thank Dr. Clay and all the wonderful staff at the Pines Special Care Home in Kimberley for their outstanding care over the past year.

All who remember Erik will recall his love of music and his passion to travel to take in all of his favorites. When Erik was only 14 his sister and brother-in-law took Erik to Seattle to see DOA, Sublime and The Ramones. Erik was such a concert fan he purchased tickets for his mom so she could take him to see White Zombie in Spokane (mom went and was terrified). One of his prized possessions is a picture of Joey Keithley with Liberty; and favorite recent shows is the Dropkick Murphy road trip and The Smalls. At every show small or large he would be front and center in any mosh pit.

Icons pictures of a greater truth
I
Anastasia Bartlet t
think the first time I ever took note of the word ‘icon’ was when I started working with computers. The definition of icon is; a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol of something. These days, we use the word all the time but the concept has existed forever. Most young people today have pictures on their walls of people they admire or want to emulate. Whether it’s a sports star or a movie star, the image serves as inspiration to achieve more or to dream about possibilities. Personally, I had a life size poster of Davy Jones over my bed and every night, I would give him a kiss, hoping somehow the kiss would magically transfer from my poster to his real lips. Before photography, a young person
might have a miniature drawing of their love tucked away in a locket with a lock of hair, to remind them of their connection. As I matured, I started collecting extended family pictures. I wanted to know where I came from so I asked about their stories. Who were these people whose genes I carried? What they had contributed to making me who I am? When my husband and I started producing descendants of our own, their, pictures were prominently displayed on my ‘spawn wall’, as one of my daughters dubbed it. It is directly above my desk so whenever I look up, I see those I love and can send up a quick prayer for each. I have other images on my walls as well. Since I became Orthodox, I have collected
images of various saints. The church calls these ‘Icons’. These are the men and women who lived and died for Christ. They serve as icons to Orthodox Christian because the represent what we should be striving to emulate. They are icons of Christian living. I also have many images containing scenes from Christ’s life. These also are icons. They symbolize the greater picture of the truth of who Christ was. In the early days of the Church, icons were also used as teaching tools for those who were not able to read the written word. In these cases, a picture is truly worth 1,000 words. An Orthodox church usually has its walls are covered with icons. These are our ancestors. When we worship God, we believe we are joining the worship of
Icon of St. Marina all those who have gone before, the Church Triumphant. We believe they are living with
Christ in glory and as such are present with the Church on earth at all times. They worship
God with us and in the same way I can ask the person beside me to pray for me, I can ask one of the saints to pray for me as well. We believe this can happen because the icon is not just a two dimensional representation, the way a photograph or a computer icon is, we believe icons are actually windows into heaven. When painting an icon, the iconographer, with prayer, attempts to portray the spiritual nature and truth of the subject unlike a photograph which strives to capture a true physical image. In an icon, facial expressions are neutral showing the dispassion of the subject. The eyes are large and wide illustrating their ability to see the truth. If buildings or scenery are incorporated into an icon, these are painted with a reverse perspective. In-
stead of the focal point of the scene being placed far in the distance, the viewer becomes the focal point with the scene spreading out giving the viewer a glimpse into heaven. The Orthodox venerate the icons in the same way someone might venerate a great leader or teacher. We do not worship icons because the only one worthy of worship is God alone. Icons both represent and are my spiritual heritage; these are my elder brothers and sisters in Christ. They are examples for me to follow. And when I kiss an icon, I don’t just hope, I know they feel the love I have for them. Anastasia Bartlett is a member of St. Aidan’s in Cranbrook and author of Glimpses of Glory
Ancient skull linked to migration of humans from Africa to Europe M a lco l m R i t t e r Associated Press
Long ago, humans left their evolutionary cradle in Africa and passed through the Middle East on their way to Europe. Now scientists have found the first fossil remains that appear to document that journey, a partial skull from an Israeli cave. The skull dates from around 55,000 years ago, fitting into the period when scientists had thought the migrants inhabited the area. And details of its anatomy resemble ancient skulls from Europe, Israel Hershkovitz of Tel Aviv University in Israel wrote in an email. He and others present the finding in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature. The skull, which lacks facial features and its base, was found in Manot Cave in the Galilee region of northern Israel. The migrants are called modern humans because of their anato-
my. The earliest remains of modern humans in Europe date to about 45,000 years ago. Experts not connected with the work were impressed. “This is the first evidence we have of the humans who made this journey,” apart from some ancient tools, said Eric Delson of Lehman College and the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Although finding a fossil that fits so well
with what was believed about the ancient migration might be expected, “we didn’t have it before,” he said. “We could predict theoretically what we would find. They’ve found it. ... Up until now, that was a ghost.” Katerina Harvati of the University of Tuebingin in Germany said the skull gives clues about the anatomy of the migrants. Since Neanderthals were already known to inhabit the

That supports the idea that Neanderthals and modern humans interbred there, experts said. Chris Stringer of
the Natural History Museum in London wrote in an email that the skull is the first fossil of a modern human from
western Asia that is well-dated to the estimated time of the interbreeding, some 50,000 to 60,000 years ago.
