New look Kootenay Columbia All parties except Liberals now have candidate TOWNSMAN/BULLETIN
A federal election is imminent this year, and for the first time the riding of Kootenay-Co-
lumbia includes the city of Nelson. New lines were drawn in several federal electoral districts in Canada for 2015, there are a number of big changes in the Kootenay-Columbia district, as well as the neighbouring B.C. Southern Interior district.
Those changes include Nelson, Kaslo and Salmo becoming a part of Kootenay-Columbia and Penticton joining the South Okanagan-West Kootenay, as it is to be renamed (currently named B.C. Southern Interior). See Page 4
Shelby Schiller reached back into her childhood to win the Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge. A chef at BJ’s Restaurant and Creekside Pub in Kimberley, Schiller made a tomato beef soup that has been in the family since she was a little girl. “We grew up with a lot of people in my family so we did a lot of gardening and stuff ourselves, so my baba [grandma] had her own canned, jarred tomatoes and that was the staple,” Schiller said. “We always had cabbage, carrots, onions and celery, so she just made soup out of it one day.
Shelby Schiller waits for the announcement of the wiinner. “That was the first thing my mom—I can remember her teaching me how to make it.” In a packed ballroom
at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort, the Stone Soup Challenge concluded as Schiller went head-to-head with

City Storm Sewer System No Place for Hazardous Materials Deliberate or Not When working with household cleaning products and other potentially hazardous materials, the City of Cran-

McKim memories; this week at the Middle School For the Bulletin
Hey, y’all! How y’all doin? Guess what’s up at McKim? Basketball, that’s what! The McKim basketball teams have swung into action. These teams are made up of students from grades 5 – 7 and they are playing teams that are often much older than them. The girls played in the Parkland tournament and won one of their four games. The experience was incredible. The also travelled to Cranbrook to play against Laurie Middle School and won a 31-30 nail-biter. Our girls were the first team to defeat them. The boys continue to gain much needed experience. March Madness is catching on at McKim. Team players will be matched with non-team players and a round robin tournament will be held here at McKim sometime in the near future. We had another great assembly this week.

Investment opportunities tour
From idea to action – creating awareness to filling vacancies
KIMBERLEY, BC – On February 16, 2015, 13 people participated in the first Kimberley Investment Opportunities Tour, which showcased commercial investment opportunities around town through a tour of properties with key experts. The idea for the tour came from Kimberley’s Mayor Don McCormick. “It’s all about ideas” Said Mayor McCormick. “Shortly after the election in November I read about a tour of vacant properties from a blog I follow about business survival in small towns.” The City’s Economic Development Officer and the Chamber of Commerce Manager immediately recognized the fit with investment attraction objectives and began planning a
tour of properties throughout town. “We know that people are curious about the vacant buildings,” said Mike Gaurnery, Chamber Manager. “We want to start conversations
about possibilities.” The group toured commercial buildings and development land in the downtown, as well as the Health Centre. See Page 5

City Vehicle Auction - The City of Kimberley is disposing the following surplus vehicles on www.bcauction.ca: 1995 GMC 4x4 Pickup 1995 Chevrolet 4x4 Pickup 1988 Chevrolet 2 WD Dump Truck Jet Rodding - The City will be starting a jet rodding program shortly. Jet rodding (or hydro jetting) cleans sewer pipes through the use of high-intensity water. It helps to cut through grease and debris and lessens the potential for sewer backups in the main lines. City bylaws require that backflow preventers be installed in order to prevent sewer backups and any issues that may occur due to maintenance of sewer lines. A backflow preventer allows water and materials that back up to escape from the cleanout rather than flow into a home. “Blowbacks” occur in some homes during this process. The installation of a backwater valve (backflow prevention device) will prevent blowbacks. A certified plumber will be able to suggest alternate solutions. Please ensure that your home is protected! Spring Break Camps at the Aquatic Center - Camps will be held Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 3:30pm, March 16th to 20th and March 23rd to 27th. The Camps will feature indoor and outdoor play, swimming, games and crafts. Daily or weekly registration is available. Call 427-2983 or email kacinfo@kimberley.ca for more information.

Three parties have candidates named for Kootenay Columbia
Photo submitted
Brigitte Franyo president of the Off Centre Players donates $1000 to the Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank
THE FOUNDATION of my community starts with you and me . . .
From Page 1 Several local candidates are now in place, and offered their thoughts on the West Kootenay enhancement of Kootenay Columbia, the cultural and community diversity of the region, and how it may affect their campaigns. Incumbent MP David Wilks (Conservative) said the B.C. Boundary commission sought to get all ridings to around a population of 180,000. “There were really two ways that they could look at increasing the riding,” Wilks said. One was go north through the Trans Canada Highway which would have probably brought in Sicamous and then part of Salmon Arm — that didn’t work for them. Then they looked at the southern route going Highway 3 and they chose to draw a line that included Salmo, Nelson and Kaslo and most of the Regional District of Central Kootenay, excluding Nakusp, and following it down to Edgewood.” Wilks said he is looking forward to the changes. “There are a lot of synergies between the East and West Kootenays that I think work well — tourism and
forestry are two big ones. I think that we will be able to work well together to ensure that we get better and adequate funding for forestry and for tourism.” Wilks said the changes do make traveling more difficult, since there are more places. “But that’s the nature of the beast when it comes to a federal constituency riding — they’re large — and this one is a significant challenge because it has two of the highest mountain passes in all of Canada. It makes it difficult to get around, but you know what, you adapt and you overcome and do what’s best for your constituents. Newly announced Wayne Stetski said he was already quite familiar with the riding. “It mirrors my old boundaries when I was regional manager with the Ministry of Environment, so I understand the values and I understand the difference in values in different parts of the region and the riding,” Stetski said. “Ultimately what I plan to do is to make sure we are listening to and hearing the very strong values that we have in the different

corners of the riding and then looking to take back a holistic or complete approach to trying to cover off all the different concerns. Stetski added that there are cultural differences between the East and West Kootenays. “I love both of them in the end, but we will have to listen in each of those different areas and find out what immediate concerns are, particularly if there are some new ones, that I’m not aware of. “The same way there’s a difference in cultural aspect around the riding, there is a cultural difference between urban and rural so I need to make sure that even though Cranbrook is a city of almost 20,000, really—from a Canadian perspective—we’re still rural.” So I have to make sure the leadership in Ottawa understands those rural values and some of the decisions in the party platform reflect the rural lifestyle that we have here.” Kimberley’s Bill Green is the candidate for the Green Party in this riding. He has been in place since December of 2014. “I believe there is a growing dismay with the present government,” he said at the time. “People are thinking that it’s time for a change. The key is to convince them that the Green Party is the change they should make.” Green also believes that MP David Wilks will not get away with skipping debates and forums this time around. “The long gun registry is behind us. That’s no longer an issue. There are a broad range of issues and
David Wilks will have to address them. He has to show up and speak to his government’s record.” “I’m campaigning to win this election, and Greens across the country have shown that Greens can get elected and bring a wide range of important issues forward at all levels of government” said Green. “Most importantly, I want to give real representation to the people and communities of this riding in Parliament. We need to revive our democracy, we need a smart economy, and we need strong communities.” Meanwhile, the Liberal Party has not yet announced a candidate. Don Johnston, president of the Kootenay Columbia Liberal Association says the hope is to have a candidate in place in the next couple of months. “We’ve been doing a lot of outreach and our focus is on an open nomination process,” he said. “We are still in that development stage and are optimistic we will have a candidate by May.” Johnston says that although there had been speculation that a spring election would be called, nothing he has heard from Prime Minister Harper would indicate that might happen. “The signs all point to the fall. There has been a clear indication from the Prime Minister that it would have to be something pretty urgent to call a spring election.” Compiled by Arne Petryshen, Trevor Crawley, Carolyn Grant and Barry Coulter

College simulators will be upgraded through federal grant Arne Petryshen Daily Townsman
The College of the Rockies is receiving a $350,000 investment to expand its industrial training program. The funding was presented by David Wilks, Kootenay Columbia MP, on behalf of Michelle Rempel, minister of state for Western Economic Diversification. “This project allows the College of the Rockies to train skilled workers in a high demand sector in Western Canada so that we can continue
to create jobs and economic growth,” noted Wilks. The funding, which comes through the Western Diversification Program, will allow the college to purchase software that will convert haultruck simulators to heavy equipment operator simulators. The simulators will then be able to train students for a variety of jobs in heavy equipment operation, such as bulldozers, graders and excavators. David Walls, president of the college, said the investment
by the government will help to “The new training software will help us to build on our successful haul truck simulator training and to provide the same high level of instruction to help fill the need for heavy equipment operators,” Walls said. He added those operators include road building, forestry, mining and other heavy industries in the region.
The college also received funding through the program in 2013 to purchase the five trades training simulators. Two of the simulators are located in the Cranbrook campus, two in Fernie and one is mobile so can move around to various communities in the Kootenays. Between 2013 and 2020, the government expects 22,800 job openings in the Kootenay region.
From Page 1 Morey went up against Schiller with a rosemary chicken and wild rice soup that is close to her heart as well, being that it’s her son’s favourite soup recipe. “I came home with a roasted rosemary chicken one day and made it into a soup and he just fell in love with it,” Morey said. “He’s more of a chicken person than a meat person.” The two had $125 to spend on ingredients to make a soup of their own choice, which was served to everyone in the room, as well as the judges table, which included Mayor Lee Pratt, Councillor Danielle Cardozo and Jason Wheeldon. Cardozo, a former contestant on MasterChef Canada, joked that she was glad to switch places and be on the other side of the table as a judge. She noted that both soups were great, but without identifying which one, added that one particular culinary creation brought back childhood memories of home cooking. After winning the preliminary and semifinal rounds, Schiller thought about using her time-honoured recipe once she got into the final. “It really kind of

dowment fund. “Last year we provided over 990 shelter nights to individuals who are within the community and that’s what this is geared for to not only raise money for the district foundation but for our shelter project,” said Salvation Army Captain Kirk Green. “…I can tell you here in the community there are many, many homeless individuals.” For all the chefs, and especially for Schiller and Morey, the Stone Soup Challenge was a rewarding experience. “ It’s been so nice to cook at the Salvation Army and cook for those people. They’re so grateful. You go to work everyday and there’s always that stress factor,” Schiller said. “…A lot of chefs do it for a paycheque and you lose sight of the love sometimes and it really brought that back. This was just fun and helping people out—it was really good. Added Morey: “It was overwhelming. Amazing. A great turnout and so much support for the Salvation Army. I am so glad Shelby won this event with her family homemade soup and it was an awesome experience.”
Recruitment for Committees 2015 City of Cranbrook There are several opportunities for public participation and involvement in the City of Cranbrook advisory committees listed below.
Investment tour looks at vacant buildings From page 3 “We got great feedback from participants, who unanimously thought it was useful,”” said EDO Kevin Wilson. “Activities such as this and Invest Kootenay complement the services offered by realtors.” Local biologist and bee enthusiast Randy Moody agrees. “We operate a small bee products company and have been thinking about ex-
sticks with what Jody was saying—she wanted something affordable for low-income families to make and this only costs for a five-litre pot, maybe $10 or $15, depending on how expensive your cans of tomatoes are,” Schiller said. “It’s low-prep. It takes maybe 20 minutes to get it all done and into the pot to boil so I kind of wanted to go along those lines. The preliminary and semifinal rounds were hosted by the Salvation Army soup kitchen, so the two were in unfamiliar territory heading into Tuscany’s for the final, all while their own chefs and servers were in operation. Graham Barnes (Max’s Place), Rusty Cox (Heidout Restaurant and Brewhouse), Doug Wagner, (St. Eugene Mission Resort), Marc Rathpoller (Tuscany’s) and Barb Smythe (Roadhouse Grill) also participated in the event, which served as a fundraiser for the Salvation Army and the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation.

Netanyahu and Iran’s ‘Bomb’
I
sraeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has finally given his much ballyhooed speech to the US Congress, and the heavens haven’t fallen. He issued the same bloodcurdling warning that Iran is on the brink of getting nuclear weapons that he has been making for twenty years now, and nobody called him on it. Instead, the Republican members of Congress, and those Democrats who bothered to show up, gave him the usual standing ovations. President Barack Obama was deeply miffed by Netanyahu’s attack on his policy of negotiating with Iran, and refused to meet him while he was in Washington. Secretary of State John Kerry was so outraged by Netanyahu’s assertion that the deal he is working on with Iran could “pave its way to the bomb” rather than block it that he publicly said the Israeli prime minister “might not be correct.” It is unprecedented for an American president to refuse to meet a visiting Israeli prime minister, or for a senior US official to suggest that the aforesaid prime minister might be wrong, but the reflexive American support for Israel will survive for quite a while yet. And Netanyahu’s gamble may pay off in extra votes for his Likud Party in the Israeli election on the 17th, which is what the visit was really about. Netanyahu knows his Israelis, and he has been playing successfully on their existential fear that somebody else in the Middle East might also get nuclear weapons ever since he entered politics. Israelis don’t really require proof that the Iranians (or anybody else) are actually
working on such weapons. Indeed, their anxiety on the issue is so deep-rooted that it resists all the reassurances by Israel’s own military and intelligence communities that Iran is NOT working on nuclear weapons. Last week, a cache of secret documents about South African contacts with other countries’ secret services was leaked to al-Jazeera. It included a 2012 cable from Israel’s Mossad intelligence service saying that Iran was “not performing the activity necessary to produce (nuweapons.” Did the Gwynne clear) Israeli public heave a great sigh of relief? Certainly not. Dyer Last Sunday, 180 former generals and commanders of the Israeli Defence Forces, Mossad intelligence agency, Shin Bet domestic security and National Police held a joint news conference begging Netanyahu not to damage the U.S.-Israeli strategic relationship further by making his inflammatory anti-Obama speech in Congress. Did ordinary Israelis join in the outcry? They did not. Polling shows that two-thirds of Israelis would like to see the back of Netanyahu, mainly because he has presided over a huge rise in the cost of living, and especially the cost of housing. But on security issues a majority of Israelis are with him — so naturally those are the issues he concentrates on. The Israelis are probably wrong to worry so much about Iranian nuclear weapons. There were two periods during which Iran seriously considered making nuclear weapons and did some preliminary work on weapons design and uranium enrichment, but in neither case was it about Israel.
The first time was in the 1980s, when Saddam Hussein’s Iraq attacked Iran (with American backing) in a war that ultimately cost a quarter-million Iranian lives. At that time Saddam actually was working on Iraqi nuclear weapons, and Iran felt obliged to follow suit. But after Saddam was defeated by Western and Arab armies in the Gulf War of 1990-91 and the United Nations inspectors went in to dismantle Iraq’s nuclear programme, the Iranians lost interest in developing their own nuclear weapons. Then they got alarmed again and restarted the programme in 1998 when another neighbour, Pakistan, tested its own first nuclear weapons. They didn’t make much progress, but they kept on working at the problem in a desultory way until 2002, when an anti-regime terrorist group called Mujahedin-e-Khalq (partly financed by Israel) revealed the existence of the weapons programme and Tehran shut it down. And for the past thirteen years, nothing. The great danger Netanyahu faces is not Iranian nuclear weapons but ejection from office by Israeli voters. His response has been the same as always: to promote himself as the only man who can keep Israel safe — even if that means burning his bridges with an American president who still has two more years in office. In terms of his own interests, he may be making the right call. His right-wing Likud Party and the centre-left coalition called the Zionist Camp have been running neck-and-neck in recent polling, but if his grandstanding in Washington brings in just a few more votes he could be back in power until the end of the decade.

Deer Hazing
BC Deer Protection Society put a full page ad in the paper on February 26, 2015 regarding the culling of the urban deer population. Our city has put up with this situation much to long and the only thing the provincial government will allow us to do at an affordable cost is culling. This is not the most appropriate way of dealing with the problem but it works. The deer destroy gardens, decorative bushes and many other things. Adults, children and pets get attacked by deer. Deer attract the predators that live in the forest surrounding our city and one of these days an adult, child or a pet being walked be an adult or a child will be attacked and severely harmed or killed by a predator inside the boundary of the city. Then everyone will be up in arms. If BC Deer Protection Society really wants to protect the deer and the people who live in urban areas they should put their money where their mouth is and pay to have the deer hazed by trained dogs instead of wasting money on full page ads that get them nowhere and get the majority of the people in the annoyed because the society has tunnel vision. The BC government does not seem to think this the best way but it has been successful in other places. Waterton Lakes National Parks had a big problem with deer in the townsite until a few years ago. They hired a dog handler who had dogs that were trained to haze the deer and the problem quickly disappeared. The same could be done in Cranbrook and any other town or city. Gene Jaster Cranbrook
Cranbrook Deer Cull
I appreciate that some residents of the City, the BC Deer Protection Society and groups like it may not agree with an urban deer cull. The full page ad taken out by the Deer Protection Society last week in the Daily Townsman certainly makes people aware of their position. But the fact of the matter is the majority of residents who took the time to complete the urban deer public survey in March 2014 (70 per cent of survey respondents) indicated that they would support further culls to try to manage the urban deer population. As of today, culling is the only management method available to any municipality to try to manage their urban deer population. Council, elected by the people to represent them and work on their behalf, were asked to deal with safety concerns of the residents around urban deer and that is what they are doing. The urban deer culls that have occurred within the Kootenay Region since 2011/12 have resulted in decreased population levels and conflicts. For example, aggressive deer complaints in the City of Cranbrook have decreased from 42 in 2011 to 19 in 2014. In Kimberley, aggressive complaints have also decreased from 33 in 2011 to 11 in 2014 along with a population reduction from 242 to 110. Wildlife experts advise that capturing deer in modified collapsible clover traps and euthanizing them with a bolt gun is
the safest, most efficient and most humane method of deer control in urban areas. In 2012, a Special Provincial Constable for the B.C. SPCA attended a similar project undertaken in Kimberley. The Special Provincial Constable concluded the deer cull was conducted in a professional and proper manner. Modified clover traps are placed in secluded locations to reduce stress on deer. To further reduce stress, deer are not trapped during daylight. Culls are conducted by trained contractors. All methods used to euthanize deer have been approved by the provincial government and have been deemed humane by the provincial wildlife veterinarian, so that meat can be used by the public. In addition, meat must be processed by a qualified butcher. Wild game meat is donated to local First Nations and food banks and the meat is always well received and appreciated. The clover traps are monitored by City staff, the contractor, wildlife biologists with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, the Conservation Officer Service and by the RCMP. I think the monitoring of the clover traps is well covered and there is no need for others to be monitoring the traps. Over the past three years, the clover traps while in use have been vandalized in Cranbrook, Kimberley and Elkford. In addition 10 clover traps were stolen out of the local Ministry office compound, burned and destroyed costing taxpayers approximately $15,000 to replace. The City of Cranbrook has done a huge amount of work over the past five years to move forward on urban deer management and work toward creating solutions in partnership with other municipalities here in the East Kootenay and with the Province. We have worked hard to create an easy to use page on our website to provide you with lots of information around what we’ve been doing around deer management. I strongly encourage you to have a look — www.cranbrook.ca/our-city/ city-departments/corporate-services/urban-deer. Chris Zettel Corporate Communications Officer City of Cranbrook

ISIS and social media
It is horrible to think that a person or a group of people could behead dozens of innocent people, and the perpetrators use religion to fan the flames of passion. How far away is rape and pillage? It is war and, like it or not, the first casualty in war is the truth, and propaganda reigns. Twitter had it right when this all started and refused to give ISIS a stage and blocked all their postings. During the crisis in the 1960s with the Black Panthers and the FLQ in Quebec, the US Government asked the CIA to study how Government should react, as pointed out in a recent column by Gwynne Dyer. The answer then was — Don’t give them the stage — find the perpetrators and prosecute, just DON’T give them the stage. The presidents and the prime minister of those days got it right, the only stage they gave them was the courts, prisons or exile. Iguess that the North American defense industry likes the idea of a War on Terror and they have the lobbying power to convince the politicians to go along with it. One of the big reasons for the rise of ISIS is social media for recruiting and the main media for all the propaganda (sorry, they call it news). Of course there is also real drama here and I don’t mean to be flippant about all the displaced victims. Affluent and poor kids fall for the propaganda because they are young “rebels,” as many of us were in younger years, and they love video games of war and crime because it’s exciting and cool and, best of all, no one ever really dies. Stop giving ISIS the stage and they will go away — what we see as the enemy, some will see as heroes! I realize that it is a bit late to change course, because they had a chance to grow, but we could take away the tools of ISIS, no media, no emails, no Facebook, no youtube, jammed cellphones and un-useable satellite phones, no mediums whatsoever. Yes a few, maybe a few 1,000 legitimate users would also lose these privileges, but so what? It would be for the good of all the innocent victims until ISIS goes away. Our governments have the power and know how to spy on all of our communications and they can probably stop it selectively, this should be a piece of cake. But the Harper Government has to do someone else’s bidding, not the people who elected them or the soldiers who die for them and their policies. I’m afraid that we will be no better off with the next government, because Democracy only every four years (or whenever it suits the PM) is NOT a good Democracy, except for the lobbyists. Our Industrial complex doesn’t want this kind of democracy and we believe their arguments and propaganda to maintain the current system or else we’re just indifferent. J. Adank Kimberley

Advantage Fernie Ghostriders take 2-1 series lead over Dynamiters Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The Fernie Ghostriders reclaimed home-ice advantage from the Kimberley Dynamiters Wednesday night with a 7-4 victory in Game 3 in front of 857 fans at the Kimberley Civic Centre. “I’ll tell ya, it was a really emotional game both ways,” Ghostriders head coach and general manager Craig Mohr told Sara Moulton of the Fernie Free Press. “At times, we were real good and at times they had all the momentum, all the play. We’d kind of fight back and get it. “It was just one of those games where, for long stretches, one team would just be all over the other team. I credit that they hung in there. We didn’t play our best game tonight. We made some mistakes, but we hung in there.” While the 7-4 score might suggest a one-sided win for the visitors, Game 3 of the best-ofseven Eddie Mountain Division final was up for grabs until Ghostriders captain Dylan Robertson iced the victory with an empty-net goal in the final 30 seconds of regulation to make it a 6-4 game. The empty-net marker was Robertson’s third
of the night. “What can you say about our captain?” Mohr said. “Unbelievable game. Unbelievable. That’s a captain who took his team on his back and said, ‘We’re not losing this game,’ and got it done. “Obviously he’s our captain for a reason.”
“We didn’t come out as hungry as they did and it cost us. It cost us the game.” Dynamiters forward Braden Saretsky The 20-year-old native of Sparwood previously scored in the second period to put his team ahead 3-1, before registering the 5-4 goahead goal midway through the third period. He finished the night with three goals and an assist to his credit. “Burgess went around the net and I was hollering in front,” Robertson told Moulton, recounting his winning goal. “I wanted it so bad. I knew the net was open, the goalie was still on the ground. [Burgess] fed it out front and I just poked it in.” Through 40 minutes
of play, the two teams had gone back and forth, battling to a 3-3 draw heading into the final 20 minutes of regulation. Despite the even score, the shot clock read 28-11 in favour of the host Dynamiters and even though his team came out on the losing end Wednesday night, head coach Jerry Bancks wasn’t disappointed in his team’s effort. “I thought we skated well, I thought we moved the puck well, lots of good scoring chances and put some in,” Bancks said, “We just gave them stuff. They gave us one, too. “It was kind of a game of mistakes early on and then we just kept making them, which cost us the game.” The first glaring mistake of the game came with the Ghostriders up 1-0 as Nitros captain Jason Richter intercepted a pass from defenceman Travis Thomsen before snapping one past Ghostriders goaltender Jeff Orser to tie the game. The next came on a faulty line change by the Ghostriders as Eric Buckley got in behind the defence to put a shorthanded breakaway goal past Orser to pull his team with one goal

after Robertson had made it 3-1. After falling behind, the Nitros stormed back to take a 4-3 lead in the third period when forward Braden Saretsky stepped out of the penalty box and took a pass from Jared Marchi before speeding down the left wing and firing one high glove on Orser’s short side. “Once we got up on them 4-3 there we kind of took it for granted,” Saretsky said. “We didn’t come out as hungry as
they did and it cost us. It cost us the game. It’s something we’ve got to work on.” On a near carbon copy of Buckley’s goal, Keebler snuck in behind the Nitros power play in the third period, putting a shorthanded breakaway effort past Dynamiters goaltender Brody Nelson, tying the game 4-4. That was perhaps the most costly error of the night for the Dynamiters as Robertson went on to give his team the
lead before then providing the insurance tally to close out the night. “Whenever we can win in Kimberley’s rink, it’s a big deal, especially in playoffs,” Robertson said. “It’s big. They stole one in our barn, we stole one from theirs. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.” The Ghostriders now lead the best-of-seven series 2-1. Orser made 30 stops for the win and even
found a way on to the scoresheet with an assist on Keebler’s game-tying goal in the third period. At the other end, Nelson stopped 16 of 22 shots. Once again, affiliate player Callum Macleod backed up Nelson with Tyson Brouwer (lower-body injury) on the shelf day-to-day. The Eddie Mountain Division final continues Friday as Game 4 goes at 7 p.m. from the Kimberley Civic Centre.

The Mount Baker Secondary School Wild girls basketball team is battling away at the 2015 B.C. Secondary School Girls AAA Basketball Championships in Langley. The 15th-ranked Wild opened competition Wednesday morning at the Langley Events Centre with 76-19 loss at the hands of the num-
ber-two ranked W.J. Mouat Secondary School Hawks (Abbotsford). Forward Kendall Bostock led the Wild with six points against the Hawks. Guard Sage Harris and forward Racheal Hubick chipped in with four points apiece, while guards Breanne Pocha (three points) and Cassie Aston (two points) rounded out the scoring for the Wild.
For the Hawks, 5-foot-10 forward Penielle M’Bikata dominated with a 32-point performance. With the loss, the Wild move on to face the Fleetwood Park Secondary School Dragons (Surrey) Thursday afternoon at 1 p.m. (Mountain). The outcome of that contest will determine when the Wild hit the court Friday. Ranked 10th heading
into tournament action, Fleetwood Park dropped a 62-46 decision to the seventh-ranked R.A. McMath Secondary School Wildcats (Richmond) Thursday. The championship game is set for Saturday, March 7 at 6:30 p.m. (Mountain). A total of 16 teams from across the province are competing at the event with sights set on provincial glory.
QB Peyton Manning to return for 18th NFL season Arnie Stapleton Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Peyton Manning will take a physical and sign his revised contract at Broncos headquarters Thursday, then head home until the Broncos reconvene April 13 for the start of off-season workouts. Then, it’s time to adapt to new coach Gary Kubiak’s West Coast offence and continue his pursuit of a second Super Bowl trophy. Weeks of speculation about the
Northern Ontario races to playoff berth at Brier Donna Spencer Canadian Press
CALGARY - Brad Jacobs was excited about the arrival of his wife Shawna and infant daughter Camille in Calgary on Wednesday. Clinching a berth very early in the premiere playoff game at the Tim Hortons Brier? That too, when he found out. “Thanks for letting me know,” the Northern Ontario skip said. “That’s a beauty. We’ll take it.” If Jacobs and teammates were unaware of the reward that came with a 4-3 win over Saskatchewan’s Steve Laycock, it’s because they haven’t thought about anything else on the ice except execution and winning. At 9-0, the Jacobs rink from Sault Ste. Marie looks a lot like that coldly intense team
that won Olympic gold in Sochi, Russia, just over a year ago. Of the 82 ends they’ve played at this year’s Canadian men’s curling championship, they’ve trailed in just one - back in their second game against Alberta. With five draws remaining, the reigning Olympic champions not only secured a playoff berth early, but assured themselves a spot in the playoff between the top two seeds. Jacobs, Ryan Fry and the front end of E.J. Harnden and Ryan Harnden won their first Canadian championship two years ago and went onto win the world title as well. The top four teams at the conclusion of the preliminary round Friday morning make the Page playoffs. The winner of Friday’s playoff
game between the top two seeds advances directly to Sunday’s final. The loser drops to Saturday’s semifinal to face the winner of the playoff between the third and fourth seeds earlier that day. The last time team to run the table en route to a Canadian championship was Alberta’s Kevin Martin in Calgary in 2009. Ontario’s Glenn Howard went 11-0 in the preliminary round in 2010, but lost in the final. Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and Labrador got to 7-2 with a pistol shot on his final throw against Alberta’s Kevin Koe. An intricate double raise double takeout for an 8-7 victory kept Gushue in playoff contention and had the skip pumping his fist. “I guess it would be a double-raise, double-
around-the-horn something or other,” was Gushue’s description of that shot. “I’m not going to lie. I think I’m a really good curler, but I’m not going to make that too many times. “I think in that situation, with a shot to win a game at the Brier and really a very meaningful game at the end of the week when you’re talking playoff situations, one in a hundred.” Quebec’s Jean-Michel Menard and Team Canada’s John Morris are tied at 6-3 and Saskatchewan’s Steve Laycock is 5-3 heading into Thursday. Alberta’s Koe and Manitoba’s Reid Carruthers are both 4-4. Koe beat his brother Jamie, who skips Northwest Territories, 7-4 Wednesday evening. Saskatchewan’s Lay-
cock edged Prince Edward Island’s Adam Casey 7-6 in an extra end after losing two in a row. B.C.’s Jim Cotter dropped to 3-5 after losing 8-3 to Manitoba. New Brunswick’s Jeremy Mallais beat Ontario’s Mark Kean 9-4 to put both teams at 2-6 alongside P.E.I. Northwest Territories is winless in eight games. Canada has won four in a row in the two days since Morris demoted himself to third and promoted Pat Simmons to skip. Laycock made a spectacular quadruple takeout to lay three in the seventh end against Jacobs. The skip countered with a takeout that cleared the house and forced Saskatchewan to blank the end. It’s been that kind of tournament for Northern Ontario.
five-time MVP’s future ended Wednesday with word that he’s returning for an 18th season in the NFL and fourth in Denver. A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that Manning will take a $4 million pay cut, from $19 million to $15 million, but that he can make it all back through performance incentives. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement of the deal.

LOS ANGELES - Organizers behind a proposed stadium for the Oakland Raiders and the San Diego Chargers in a Los Angeles suburb filed paperwork Wednesday to bring their plan before voters. Submission of the ballot initiative to the city of Carson, California, marks an incremental step in development of the $1.7 billion project. If approved, it would modify zoning laws to allow construction of a stadium on the site of a former landfill. Organizers, funded by the two teams, could begin collecting petition signatures as soon as next week to place the plan on the ballot. They’ll need to get 8,041 signatures in the next 180 days. The Raiders and Chargers announced last month they are planning a shared stadium in Carson if both teams fail to get new stadiums in their current hometowns.

Somewhere down the lazy river
Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel writes about European river cruises for mobile people
E
uropean river cruises are extremely popular these days. I often get questions from people wondering if this type of travel is for them or not. So here’s a few facts, tips and answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. Going ashore for an excursion from a river cruise means a choice of walking tours, traditionally offered in separate groups and you select what suits you: • Express – quick overview and then independent leisure time. • Traditional - the full tour at comfortable pace. • Leisurely – the full tour at slower pace. River cruises are for mobile people. There are usually no elevators aboard (but only three decks), and you disembark on a gangway right to a dock right in town, which may mean cob-
blestone streets and uneven surfaces. Most river cruises are not suitable for those with walkers or wheelchairs. Currency aboard in Europe is the Euro. There are only a few countries that you may visit that operate on different currencies, such as Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. So be prepared for the countries you will visit by ordering a small amount of each currency before you go. River cruises are inclusive. The only items not included may include bar spirits (wine and beer are included), laundry, items of personal nature and gratuities. Suggestions for gratuities include: Onboard – Cruise director & all crew/staff 6E per person per day (often these can be prepaid); Local guides 2E per person each

Dress code is casual – no ‘formal’ nights – dressy casual for concerts, captain’s welcome/farewell dinner. The most important item – comfortable walking shoes! The weather in Europe in the summer is unpredictable and de-
pends on the region you are travelling. On average expect highs of 2025C, lows of 10-15C. Expect short showers. Bring an umbrella! Onboard, the ship is air-conditioned. Electrical current is 220V (there may be dual power). Complimentary internet access. Choice of dining venues and
times. Smoking only permitted on the Sky Deck or ashore (not on balconies). A daily newsletter is circulated with activities, times, destination facts. Be aware that adjustments to the itinerary due to fluctuating water levels may occur. This may mean the water is too high and the ship
can’t pass under a low bridge, or it is too low and there isn’t enough clearance for ships to pass each other. In either case, you may need to disembark, travel by coach to another identical ship, and re-board a ship and continue on. The crew most often moves with you, and the ship coming the op-
posite direction does the same thing. It’s a routine that the cruise lines have perfected so you hardly experience any inconvenience at all! For more information on European river cruises, contact Carla Nelson, Branch Manager, Maritime Travel 250.489.4788.

Folk/Bluegrass show fundraises for local musicians, concert series For the Townsman
Two well-know and exceptional local Folk/ Bluegrass bands will be featured at a spring concert at the Royal Alexandra Hall in Cranbrook, Saturday, March 28. RedGirl and the Rosie Brown Band will perform at “Spring Into Bluegrass,” a fundraiser for the Fisher Peak Performing Artists Society, in support of local musicians and the SummerSounds 2015 concert series.

The Rosie Brown Band is a unique, fun and rewarding fivepiece Bluegrass/Folk ensemble featuring Paige Lennox (banjo), Cosima Wells (guitar), Janice Nicli (upright bass), Shawna Plant (mandolin), and Heather Gemmel (dobro and guitar), blending five wonderful voices and featuring classic old

“We feel very lucky to be a part of the Edmonton scene,” says lead vocalist Cody Cecotka of death-metal astonishers Eye of Horus. “There are plenty of extreme metal bands here, which makes promoting our shows a lot easier! “We definitely don’t mind playing all-ages shows; we remember when we were young ones — all we wanted to do was go to a metal show, and we were too young to get into the bars! So we’re always happy to give that opportunity to our fans.” And the boys from Eye of Horus intend on delivering their flabbergasting mastery of death-metal technical precision for the all-ages enjoyment of the East Kootenay’s teenage (and teen at heart) metalheads this coming Saturday, March 7t, at the Studio Stage Door The-
atre in Cranbrook (with guests Anarcrist, Elements, and Crooked Lines). Loud, proud, and unbowed. “The heavy-metal communities in Alberta are all flourishing,” Cocetka explains. “Western Canada’s now the place to be in terms of festivals; you have the Calgary Metal Fest, Loud As Hell in Drumheller, Vernstock in Calgary, Metal Mountain, Metal Wizard — and of course the Armstrong Metal Fest in B.C.” Despite the unnecessary alarmings of the genre’s name, Death Metal emerged out of the kaleidoscope of heavy-metal at the turn of the 1990s, focusing on extreme-technical instrumental precision, breakneck speed, locktight ensemble playing, abrupt changes in tempo, key, and time signatures. Throw in lyrical content that would make
out his basslines. Diego’s also the primary lyricist. We want to stay true to the classic Death-Metal themes —telling horror stories through songs. This consists of finding a story that fits with the song’s atmosphere, then molding each lyric to the arrangement.” As with most death-metal bands, Eye of Horus’ work ethic is as redlined as their music itself. “2015 will be a big year,” says Cocetka. “We’re about to finish recording our album, so expect that to be released during the summer. We’ll be playing dozens of shows across western Canada to support it. We’ll definitely try to make at least one music video. We might consider hitting the US in the fall. And we also will begin preliminary stages of writing a new album! Can’t ever stop the writing bug for us!” On the road, the
Clive Barker blush (although many death-metal bands spend as much verbal energy on mysticism, philosophy, science fiction, and politics as they do on slasher-film fare), and there you have the layman’s introduction to the fascinating and breathtaking world of death metal. And Eye of Horus are only one of dozens of such talented and driven groups across Canada alone who are making their mark. Cocetka explains the creative process behind Eye of Horus’ singular approach to their muse. “Usually (guitarist-vocalist) Diego Fernandez writes the skeleton of the song. Once we like the arrangement, we adapt it into our style; intensifying Travis Sutherland’s drums, changing some riffs to fit with the drums. Once that’s finalized, Andrew Sutherland will figure
Eye of Horus in concert Saturday, March 7, at the Studio Stage Door band functions with army-squad precision. “We’re very well organized. Some of us worry about the merch; some of us worry about setting up and tearing down; someone deals with promoters. We all found out strengths with this career and play our part to make it as smooth as possible. The ups are definitely playing in front of people who have been awaiting your arrival.” Cocetka says that Eye of Horus are excited to be debuting in Cranbrook. “We’ve found

small-town scenes to be almost more vibrant than city scenes. It’s due to the passion of their residents, who sometimes seldom get larger shows — so they relish the opportunity to throw down when a band like us arrives!” Eye of Horus are keen on establishing and keeping friendships, and offer these words of encouragement to the would-be metal musicians of the Kootenays: “Don’t worry about the distance between you and others. Focus on making music
that’s honest to you. Find friends to play it with, and start playing shows. There is honestly no better feeling.” Eye of Horus (with guests Anarcrist, Elements, and Crooked Lines) blast out their technical-frenzy death-metal assault live in concert Saturday, March 7, at the Studio Stage Door (11-11th Ave.S., downtown Cranbrook); showtime 8 pm. Admission: $8 advance (tickets available at AM Music and Lotus Books), $10 door.

Hedwing and the Angry Inch, live in action.
Black Productions and the Selkirk College Contemporary Music Program present the underground theatre sensation “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” live at the Key City Theatre, Saturday March 7. “Hedwig” originally debuted off-Broadway in 1998 (to great critical acclaim. The musical comedy was a concept long in development by NYC playwright John Cameron Mitchell, who also adapted it into a successful feature film in 2001. The msical’s plot revolves around a transgendered East German rock vocalist (Hedwig) whose touring band (the Angry Inch) races

across Europe in hot pursuit of world-famous glam-rocker (Tommy Gnosis), who allegedly is raking in a fortune plagiarizing Hedwig’s songs. The production comes across as a winning combination of ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ and David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust phase of the early 1970s. Since the turn of the century, the musical has successfully run all over the world. “Hedwig” has won a huge underground fan following worldwide, with aficionados of the production referring to themselves as “Hedheads.” The cast and crew of Black Productions` ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’ are staffed by students and alumni of the renowned Selkirk College Contemporary Music Program from Nelson B.C., which
since 1989 has stood unique among Canadian post-secondary institutions as being one of the first collegiate-level music programs in the country to be an adjunct of the Berklee School of Music (Boston MA). With many notable graduates of the program now making their mark in the Canadian music industry, the lineup of eager instrumentalists and vocalists currently assembled as the Angry Inch are sure to happily stun everyone attending. Under the spirited guidance of Sydney Black (who also plays the role of Hedwig`s companion Yitzhak onstage), this production has already wowed audiences in Nelson and Trail, and so those looking for a unique and hilarious theatre experience this coming Saturday night need look no further!

URBAN DEER love hate Whether you
them or
them
CULLING NEEDS TO STOP The city wants you to believe that they are euthanizing the deer. They are not. The clover traps (steel frame covered with heavy mesh) are baited with food to attract the deer. The deer eats the bait triggering the door to drop, trapping the animal for up to ten hours causing stress and often panic. In the morning, when the cull contractors return, the trap is collapsed, pinning the deer down. The cull contractors sit on the trap. One holds the head of the deer while the other applies a bolt gun, which drives a metal rod deep into the animal’s brain. Sometimes it is necessary to apply the bolt gun more than once.
1.
Culling causes the Rebound Effect. Deer in the boundary forests around Cranbrook will simply move in and with a substantial in-town food source will become more fertile.
Please help us fight this cruelty. Report trap locations or sighting to the BCDPS at 250-417-7806. Traps are folded flat during the day and covered in tarps to hide them.
public safety - the very reason the city says they are taking this action.
6. Deer populations are in
serious decline in our forests. We need the deer to replenish our barrier deer population.
2. Culling costs tens of
thousands of your tax dollars during every cull without any lasting or true benefit to citizens.
3. There is no way to target
7.
specific deer which means any deer people think are aggressive may not be killed.
4. Any deer that enters the
trap will be killed - fawns, does or bucks. Studies show killing fawns or bucks has no beneficial effect on population reduction.
Finally, they drag the deer to their truck where they bleed out the animal. Photos taken from Helena, MT cull which Cranbrook based it’s cull off of.
5. Culling does not improve
The BCSPCA has made an official statement against culling and has sent a formal letter to the City of Cranbrook asking them to stop culling.
8. The City has not
effectively applied non-lethal strategies to reduce conflict such as effective public education, deer feeding bylaw enforcement, and developing new bylaws.
It was NOT 70% OF CRANBROOK who supports culling!
It was 642 of the deer survey respondents. That’s only 6% of Cranbrook households and only 4% of Cranbrook’s population.
DEMAND CRANBROOK USE NON-LETHAL OPTIONS TO REDUCE CONFLICT Call Mayor Pratt at City Hall (250-426-4211) and ask him to stop wasting our tax dollars on inhumanely killing urban deer. For more information on how you can help end the culling of urban deer, to sign the ongoing petition to end culling, or for information on non-lethal options, please contact us!

Calgary’s fun-loving retro-pop band, The Lovebullies, will be bringing their sexy, provocative brand of 1950s & 60s music to Kimberley’s Studio 64 on Saturday, March 21. The gals and guys in the Lovebullies have just too much fun on stage and this cabaret-style show in Studio 64 is likely to be a very lively affair. The Lovebullies, so their bio goes, are “formed out of the ashes of drive-in movie theatres and 57 Cadillacs, bringing 1950s and 60s vintage pop back into the mainstream…..The Lovebullies are here to get you up on your feet and dancing ‘til the sun comes up.” Well, not quite that late, perhaps, but you can certainly work up a good head of steam on the dance floor by 10.30 p.m. The band’s front line of Chantal Vitalis, Joni Brent, and Caroline Connolly, backed by Paul Jahn and Kevin Herring, will have you humming along and dancing to familiar tunes and original songs that somehow sound familiar (that 50s & 60s sound again) until it’s time to go home. The Lovebullies have
The Lovebullies: Chantal Vitalis, Joni Brent, and Caroline Connolly, Paul Jahn and Kevin Herring,
three albums out, Swang Swang Swang, Bomp, and When I Get Through With You. They recently opened for the Beach Boys in Calgary and are a regular part of the Calgary concert scene. You can get a taste of their music and style on a number of websites. Just Google Lovebullies. The show starts at 8 p.m. With smaller tables for 4, the space for dancing in Studio 64 has been increased. A wine & beer bar will be open to slake your thirst and nibblies will help you replace the carbs you dance away. There’s seating for about 80 so you might want to
get your tickets early to be sure of one. Advance tickets, available from Centre 64, are $22 for Kimberley Arts Council members, $24 for non-members, or $26 at the door. The spring concert series at Studio 64 continues on April 21 with bluesman Guy Davis and concludes May 23 with the gypsy blues duo, Blue Moon Marquee. 3-concert series tickets are available for $60 KAC members, $66 non-members. For more information about these upcoming concerts you can call Centre 64 at 250427-4919.

Over the last two years, East Kootenay Foundation for Health’s Board of Directors has slowly been making changes and implementing new strategies to enhance the growth of the foundation. One of the most impactful decisions was a full rebrand exercise including surveys with internal and external stakeholders. This included a review of all marketing material to ensure that EKFH’s messaging is specific and pertinent to its mission to support health care initiatives in each East Kootenay community and the region as a
whole. A soft launch of the brand rolled out with the 2014 Starlite Campaign. As the foundation moves forward into 2015 with its ongoing work and the critically important ICU Redevelopment Capital Campaign the new brand, created by Genex Marketing, will become more visible. The image is not the only change as the foundation is currently undergoing upgrades on its website, digital communications wall and Facebook page. The EKFH board consists of a group of community-minded and philanthropic Directors who believe leaving a legacy for future members and representatives is imperative. To that end, EKFH will be bringing on an additional person to further complement the
existing team of Executive Director Donna Grainger and Financial Officer Beth Bennett. The Board of Directors are excited to announce the newest member of the EKFH team. On March 17, Patricia Whalen will join the foundation in the role of Assistant Executive Director. Patricia brings years of experience in non-profit work and a commitment of care to her community and the region. This professional team will be exhausting all existing and new areas of philanthropy for East Kootenay health care as well as ensuring the continuum of the thirty two years of the Foundation success. EKFH is eager to see Patricia’s positive contributions to the foundation and enthusiastically welcome her to our organization.

Never miss great tax-time freebies! Here are two tax-time advantages available for upcoming first-time buyers and those who took the plunge in 2014. 1. The 90-day boost. If you’re buying your first home now and it’ll be at least 90 days before your move, let’s talk. The Federal Home Buyers’ Program (HBP) and a tax refund can boost the funds you have available for your purchase. First, make as big an RRSP contribution as you can – up to your contribution limit or $25,000 per person. You can even use your downpayment savings for this. Big RRSP contribution means a great 2014 refund. Then, after 90 days, you can go back into your RRSP and redeem your contribution under the HBP program. So you’ve got your original downpayment funds back PLUS a nice fat tax refund. You’ll need to pay the withdrawn funds back on a repayment plan, but this strategy can make a substantial difference in the affordability of home ownership! 2. $750 for first-time buyers. Don’t leave money on the table if you bought your first home last year! You may be able to take advantage of the Home Buyers Tax Credit (HBTC) when you file your tax return. The $5,000 non-refundable HBTC provides up to $750 in federal tax relief. You qualify if neither you nor your spouse (or common-law partner) have owned and lived in another home for the past five years. For more information, visit the Action Plan website.

mail delivery unconstitutional and a violation of the federal Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Canada Post employees announced last October they would take the Crown corporation to court over the cost-cutting plan to end delivery and install community mailboxes across the country. The union’s court filing is signed by six other organizations representing retired and handicapped citizens. The groups say eliminating home delivery discriminates against the elderly as well as people with mental and physical handicaps because it limits their access to a public service. Union president Denis Lemelin says he is willing to take the case to the Supreme Court of Canada if need be. The union represents 54,000 workers and says the cancellation of home delivery will eliminate up to 8,000 jobs. Canada Post has yet to reply to the union’s court filing.

Fossil jaw from Ethiopia moves scientists closer to turning point in human evolution Malcolm Rit ter Associated Press
A fragment of jawbone found in Ethiopia is the oldest known fossil from an evolutionary tree branch that eventually led to modern humans, scientist reported Wednesday. The fossil comes from very close to the time that the early human branch split away from more apelike ancestors best known for the fossil
skeleton Lucy. So it gives a rare glimpse of what very early members of our branch looked like. At about 2.8 million years old, the partial jawbone pushes back the fossil record by at least 400,000 years for the human branch, which scientists call Homo. It was found two years ago at a site not far from where Lucy was unearthed. Africa is a
pieces one morning by Chalachew Seyoum, an Ethiopian graduate student at Arizona State. He said he spotted a tooth poking out of the ground while looking for fossils. The discovery is described in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Science. Arizona State’s William Kimbel, an author of the paper, said it’s not clear whether the fossil came from a known early species of Homo or whether it reveals a new one. Field work is continuing to look for more fossils at the site, said another author, Brian Villmoare of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Analysis indicates the jaw fossil came from one of the earliest populations of Homo, and its age helps narrow the range of possibilities for when the first Homo species appeared, Kimbel said. The fossil dates to as little as 200,000 years after the last known fossil from Lucy’s species. The fossil is from the left lower jaw of an adult. It combines ancestral features, like a primitive chin shape, with some traits found
hotbed for human ancestor fossils, and scientists from Arizona State University have worked for years at the site in northeast Ethiopia, trying to find fossils from the dimly understood period when the Homo genus, or group, arose. Our species, called Homo sapiens, is the only surviving member of this group. The jaw fragment, which includes five teeth, was discovered in

in later Homo fossils, like teeth that are slimmer than the bulbous molars of Lucy’s ilk. Despite that mix, experts not involved in the paper said the researchers make a convincing case that the fossil belongs in the Homo category. And they present good evidence that it came from a creature that was either at the origin of Homo or “within shouting distance,” said Bernard Wood of George Washington University. The find also bolsters the argument that Homo arose from Lucy’s species rather than a related one, said Susan Anton of New York University. The new paper’s
analysis is first-rate, but the fossil could reveal only a limited amount of information about the creature, said Eric Delson of Lehman College in New York. “There’s no head, there’s no tools, and no limb bones. So we don’t know if it was walking any differently from Australopithecus afarensis,” which was Lucy’s species, he said. It’s the first time that anything other than isolated teeth have turned up as a possible trace of Homo from before 2.3 million years ago, he said. “This fills a gap, but it hasn’t yet given us a complete skeleton. It’s not Lucy,” Delson said. “This is always the problem. We always want
more.” Also on Wednesday, another research team reported in a paper released by the journal Nature that the lower part of the face of Homo habilis, the earliest known member of the Homo branch, was surprisingly primitive. That came from reconstruction of a broken jaw that was found 50 years ago. The finding means the evolutionary step from the Ethiopian jaw to the jaw of Homo habilis is “not so large,” said an author of the Nature study, Fred Spoor of University College London and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.

Scientists work out weight of Sophie, one of world’s most complete Stegosaurus skeletons Associated Press
LONDON - Scientists at a British museum have worked out the weight of Sophie, one of the world’s most complete Stegosaurus skeletons. London’s Natural History Museum says Sophie, a young adult
when it died, weighed around 1.6 tons and was about the same size as a small rhinoceros. The scientists worked out the dinosaur’s body mass after creating a 3-D digital version of its skeleton, calculating the volume of flesh around the
bones, and comparing the data with information from similar-sized modern animals. The skeleton, which is 85 per cent intact, greets visitors entering the museum. It was discovered in 2003 at Red Canyon Ranch in Wyoming.

US tamps down expectations for Iran nuke talks as Kerry pushes back on Netanyahu’s criticism Associated Press
MONTREUX, Switzerland U.S. officials sought Wednesday to tamp down expectations of a substantial preliminary nuclear deal with Iran by the March deadline while working to move past the political dust kicked up by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s criticism of an emerging nuclear deal with Iran. Secretary of State John Kerry said Washington was well aware of the potential nuclear danger Iran poses to countries in the region and will endorse only an agreement that seriously and verifiably crimps Tehran’s ability to make atomic arms. “We continue to be focused on reaching a good deal, the right deal, that closes off any paths that Iran could have towards fissile material for a weapon and that protects the world from the enormous threat that we all know a nuclear-armed Iran would pose,” Kerry told reporters at the end of meetings with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif. The sides hope to have a progress report by late March allowing them to finesse details into a final pact by June. But a senior U.S. official appeared to walk back from the significance of that first stage, describing it as only “an understanding that’s going to have to be filled out with lots of detail” by the June final target date. Until Wednesday, it had been described as a “framework agreement.” The official’s comments could be an attempt to stretch the interpretation of what should be achieved by March, allowing further negotiations even if nothing more is achieved than a vague declaration.
They contrast sharply with what the West laid down earlier. Justifying an extension of the talks on Nov. 24, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond of Britain one of the five powers backing the U.S. at the talks - said he expected “an agreement on substance” by March. Western and Iranian negotiators said then they would use the time between March and June only “if necessary ... to finalize any possible remaining technical and drafting work.” The U.S. official, who demanded anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to discuss the issue publicly, said President Barack Obama will decide whether to continue into June once he sees the March assessment. Playing down the prospects of any lasting damage to U.S.-Israeli ties caused by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress Tuesday, the U.S. official said senior Israeli officials would be briefed by secure phone by top U.S. negotiators on the latest round. The next round begins March 15. Still, the Netanyahu speech is likely to further embolden critics in Congress who fear the U.S. may accept terms too lenient on Iran. He told Congress Tuesday that the agreement taking shape is dangerous and would allow Iran the ability to develop nuclear weapons. Last week, senators introduced legislation to give Congress a say over any deal, and Republicans are trying to get it passed even as the talks continue. The American public appears divided. An Associated Press-GfK poll shows more than 6 in 10 Americans initially say that they
favour Congress instituting new sanctions against Iran, while only 7 per cent say they are opposed. Another quarter of Americans say they are neither in favour nor opposed. But the new poll also finds that 31 per cent of those who initially said they support new sanctions say that Congress should hold off if the administration says it would reduce the likelihood of a future deal. In total, about 4 in 10 Americans think Congress should go forward with sanctions even over the president’s protests. The poll of 1,045 adults was conducted online Jan. 29-Feb. 2, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Netanyahu offered no alternate negotiating tactic beyond urging the U.S. to walk away from the table, a point Kerry noted Wednesday. If talks are successful, the deal being negotiated will “achieve the goal of proving that Iran’s nuclear program is and will remain peaceful.” Kerry said. “No one has presented a more viable lasting alternative for how you actually prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.” The focus of his comments to reporters at the Swiss resort town of Montreux reflected U.S. concerns about the potential damage Netanyahu’s speech could have on the negotiations by further empowering powerful Republican opponents in Congress. Kerry planned to meet with Arab Gulf state allies in Riyadh Thursday before sitting down with the foreign ministers of France, Britain and Germany in Paris on Saturday to share the state of the negotiations.
Israel to double water supplies to Gaza Strip, despite tensions with its Hamas rulers Associated Press
JERUSALEM - Israel will double the amount of water provided to the Gaza Strip, despite a bloody war last summer against the territory’s Hamas rulers, defence officials said Wednesday. Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, the commander of Cogat, the defence agency that deals with Gazan civilian affairs, said in published remarks that Israel would increase water supplies from 5 to 10 million cubic meters (1.3 to 2.6 billion gallons) per year to relieve what he called a “severe water problem due to excessive overuse of groundwater resources.” Gaza suffers from chronic water shortages, making tap water undrinkable and forcing the territory to send large quantities of raw sewage into the Medi-
terranean. Mordechai said he hopes Hamas “would not steal water from civilians as they steal construction materials intended for the reconstruction of houses.” Rebhi el-Shiekh, director of the Palestinian Water Authority in Gaza, said he had not received official notification of the Israeli announcement. The water, if delivered, represents just a fraction of Gaza’s water needs. But the water would provide some relief since it is of drinking quality and does not have to be treated. Gaza gets some 200 million cubic meters (53 billion gallons) from a local aquifer. The water is very salty and can be drunk only if it is filtered. If Israel delivers the water, elShiekh said Gaza does not have
the capacity to receive it all because a major water tank was destroyed in last summer’s fighting. He said Gaza could handle roughly half the water until the tank is rebuilt later this year. Israel captured Gaza in the 1967 Mideast war and occupied the territory until withdrawing in 2005. Two years later, Hamas militants seized control of Gaza from the Western-backed Palestinian Authority. Israel maintains a blockade of the territory, and controls its airspace and coastline. It says the blockade is needed to contain Hamas, which has fired thousands of rockets into Israel and fought Israel in three wars since taking control of Gaza. The blockade pressures both Hamas and Gaza’s 1.8 million residents.

What Are the Causes and Treatments for Acne? By: Dr. Darcie Pawlick BSc, ND
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns that we address at our clinic. It is a common misconception that acne can only inflict teenagers when hormones are changing. This article will discuss the common causes and contributing factors to acne, diet/lifestyle treatments and supplements including herbal medicines, minerals and nutrients that can help. It is important to note that I will be specifically discussing acne vulgaris which differs from acne rosacea. There are many causes and contributing factors to the development of acne which can include, but are not limited to, hormone imbalance, blood sugar dysregulation, liver dysfunction, vitamin and mineral deficiencies (ie. zinc, vitamin A, selenium), omega 3 deficiency, gut dysbiosis, dairy and other food sensitivities. Diet/Lifestyle treatments that can help include: balancing protein with carbohydrates, eliminating refined carbohydrates (ie. white bread, white pasta, white and brown sugars), eating foods rich in vitamin A (sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, and other leafy greens) and omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, mackerel, anchovies, herring, sardines), daily exercise, cow dairy and other food sensitivity elimination, increasing fiber intake (oats, lentils, legumes, beans, avocado, nuts, seeds especially flax seeds and brazil nuts), adequate water intake (1.5-2 L daily), organic green tea daily, changing the pillow case every night, wiping your phone with alcohol before using. It is also important to try to consume organic foods which include a diet rich in fruits and vegetables (juicing, smoothies) and non-factory farmed meats as this lowers the exposure to androgenic hormones. Topically I recommend only washing the face once daily or once every other day in a homemade herbal cleanser which contains ingredients like organic green tea, calendula and tea tree oil. I find too much face washing decreases the healthy oils on the skin which then subsequently increases the amount produced to compensate for the lack of hydration in the skin leading to more acne. I also recommend compounded niacinamide gel which is a form of Vitamin B3 that has been researched to be as effective (if not more effective clinically) than the conventional recommended prescription benzoyl peroxide. Supplements can include: chromium, B complex (higher B5 or B6), buffered Vitamin C, zinc/copper, omega 3, vitamin D, probiotics, L-glutamine and evening prim rose oil. Herbal medicines can include: green tea extract (EGCG), milk thistle, turmeric, globe artichoke, chaste tree, dong quai and saw palmetto. Although there are many different treatment options, it is important to identify and treat the root cause of your individual case. It is essential to remember that skin takes time to heal and treatments should be maintained consistently for several months to see the maximum benefit.

NEWS Microsoft co-founder says he’s found sunken Japan WWII battleship Mari Yamaguchi Associated Press
TOKYO - Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Paul Allen and his research team have found the wreckage of a massive Japanese World War II battleship off the Philippines near where it sank more than 70 years ago, he said Wednesday. The apparent discovery of the Musashi, one of the largest battleships in history, comes as the world marks the 70th anniversary of the war’s end. Allen and the team aboard his superyacht M/Y Octopus found the ship on Sunday, more than eight years after their search began, Allen said in a statement issued by his publicity agency, Edelman. Detailed images captured by a high-definition camera mounted on an underwater probe confirmed the wreckage as that of the Musashi, it said. Allen said on his website that the video and still images showed a valve wheel with Japanese letters saying “main valve handle” which used to be in a lower engineering area, a catapult system used to launch planes, a large gun turret, and one of the ship’s two 15-ton anchors. He said the team also found the ship’s bow. Japanese experts said they were eager to study the images to try to confirm the ship’s identity.

View towards the bow of the Japanese battleship Musashi, during World War II. Kazushige Todaka, head of a private museum specializing in the battleship Yamato, Musashi’s sister vessel, said the details in the images matched those of the Musashi, which was the only battleship that sank in the area. “Judging from the location, it must be the Musashi,” Todaka told NHK public television. The Musashi, com-
missioned in 1942, sank in October 1944 in the Sibuyan Sea during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, losing about half of its 2,400 crew members. The ship was repeatedly hit by torpedoes and bombs dropped by planes from Allied aircraft carriers. The naval battle, considered the largest of World War II, crippled the imperial fleet, cut off
Japanese oil supplies and allowed the U.S. invasion of the Japanese-held Philippines. Allen’s team found the battleship at a depth of 1 kilometre (3,280 feet) in the Sibuyan Sea using the autonomous underwater vehicle on its third dive after narrowing the search area with detailed undersea topographical data and other locator devices,
the statement said. “The Musashi is truly an engineering marvel and as an engineer at heart, I have a deep appreciation for the technology and effort that went into its construction,” Allen said. He said he is fascinated with World War II history after being inspired by his father’s service in the U.S. Army, and that he was “honoured” to play a part in finding a key vessel in naval history, and in honouring the memory of those who served aboard the ship. Allen said he respects the wreckage as a war grave and plans to work with Japan’s government to make sure the site is treated properly in line with Japanese traditions. Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters that he had no immediate comment. Suikokai, an organization that supports Japanese navy veterans and conducts research in maritime defence, said that if the discovery is confirmed, a memorial service could be held at the site. Todaka at the Yamato Museum said the findings, especially during the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, were a “great achievement” that could inspire many Japanese to revisit the history of the war, whose memory has faded over the past decades.
Australian radio station may face penalties for royal hoax call that preceded nurse’s suicide Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia Australia’s highest court on Wednesday cleared the way for a radio station to face penalties over a 2012 prank call to a London hospital that was caring for the Duchess of Cambridge. A nurse who transferred the call committed suicide after the broadcast. Two Australian DJs from radio station 2DayFM impersonated Queen Elizabeth II and her son, Prince Charles, when they phoned a London hospital in 2012
to ask about the condition of the Duchess of Cambridge, who had been hospitalized for severe morning sickness. Nurse Jacintha Saldanha took the call and passed it on to a colleague who described Kate’s condition. Three days after the call was broadcast worldwide, Saldanha, 46, was found dead in her room. Australia’s High Court ruled that the country’s broadcasting watchdog, the Australian Communications
and Media Authority, has the power to find that the radio station broke the law, overturning a lower court decision. In its judgment, the High Court said the station did not obtain the consent of the hospital’s staffers to air the recording. The ruling means the watchdog can pursue penalties against the station. ACMA chairman Chris Chapman said his agency will now consider what sanctions may be applied, which could
include suspending the station’s broadcasting license. Southern Cross Austereo, which owns 2Day FM, said the court decision has exposed serious problems with Australia’s broadcasting laws. “It is wrong for the broadcasting regulator to be able to itself decide
whether a commercial television or radio broadcaster is guilty of committing an offence against any Australian state, territory or commonwealth law including laws where the ACMA has no expertise, experience or jurisdiction,” the company said in a statement.

World’s oldest person happy to be turning 117 Misao Okawa wonders about the secret to longevity too
Mari Yamaguchi Associated Press
TOKYO — The world’s oldest person says 117 years doesn’t seem like such a long time. Misao Okawa, the daughter of a kimono maker, made the comment Wednesday, at a celebration a day before her 117th birthday. Appropriately, she was wearing a pink kimono decorated with cherry blossom prints. Okawa, born in Osaka on March 5, 1898, was recognized as the world’s oldest person by Guinness World Records in 2013. “It seemed rather short,” she said after Osaka government official Takehiro Ogura, who brought her a big bouquet, asked how she
felt about living for 117 years. Okawa, her hair decorated with a pink daisy pin, looked up from her wheelchair and said she was “very happy” to be that age. Asked for the secret of her longevity, she responded nonchalantly, “I wonder about that too.” Japan has the most centenarians in the world, with more than 58,000, according to the government. About 87 per cent of them are women. Okawa has slowed in recent months and has trouble hearing but she eats well and is in good health, according to her Osaka nursing home, where Wednesday’s televised celebration was held.
TORONTO - The federal government will introduce new legislation to ensure that a life sentence means exactly that - a sentence for life without parole - Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Wednesday. The new bill will apply to those convicted of first-degree murder involving: the killing of police officers or correctional officers; terrorism; kidnapping or sexual assault; and crimes “of a particularly brutal nature.” It would also apply to those who commit high treason. “Next week, our government will introduce legislation to ensure that for the most heinous offenders and the most horrific crimes a life sentence in Canada will henceforth mean exactly that - a sentence for life,” Harper announced in front of a crowd that included families of murder victims. Currently, those who are convicted of first-degree murder face an automatic sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. Harper said that in order to ad-

If enacted, the changes would save families “a lifetime of misery, a lifetime of waiting for phone calls to come, emails to come, and preparing yourself mentally and physically for parole hearings,” said Susan Ashley, whose sister, Linda Bright, was abducted, sexually assaulted and murdered by Donald Armstrong in Kingston, Ont., in 1978. “You have no idea how much of a toll it takes on a human being.”
Mars rover halts its work as NASA engineers investigate short circuit PASADENA, Calif. - The Curiosity rover has temporarily stopped work on Mars while NASA engineers investigate a short circuit.

Losses from natural disasters at between $250 billion and $300 billion annually, UN says Associated Press
A new U.N. report says global economic losses from natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, droughts and cyclones have reached an average of $250 billion to $300 billion annually. The report by the U.N. Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, which was released Wednesday, estimates that an investment of $6 billion annually in efforts to reduce the risk of disasters would save the world from losses of $360 bil-
lion over the next 15 years. Margareta Wahlstrom, the U.N. special representative on disaster risk reduction, said “the report is a wake-up call for countries to increase their commitment to invest in smart solutions to strengthen resilience to disasters.” She said this will be a key issue at the Third U.N. World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan, from March 14-18.
Citing benefits to economy, Turks & Caicos adopting new time zone to get later sunsets Associated Press
The Turks & Caicos Islands is switching to a new time zone, citing potential benefits to its tourism-dependent economy. Employment Minister Ricardo Donhue Gardiner said Wednesday that adopting Atlantic Standard Time will provide a boost to resorts, bars and restaurants as well as “allowing our residents to enjoy a little more sunshine.” The tiny territory will move its clocks forward an hour on Sunday to
get later sunsets. Atlantic Standard Time is followed year-round by eastern Caribbean islands and eastern sections of Canada’s Quebec province. The British Caribbean territory has historically followed Eastern Standard Time along with eastern U.S. states. During winter months, the islands’ peak tourism season, the sun goes down around 5 p.m. in Turks & Caicos. Airlines and shipping companies were notified months in advance.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 10 years, but I sometimes wonder whether I love him or am just used to having him around. We have no kids, and I’ve started thinking of how my life would be without him. This all began when he first displayed an awful temper. He never gets physically violent, but he hurts me tremendously with the things he says. He pays some of my bills, but always puts his wants and needs before household things that are more important, like fixing the car or filling my prescriptions. I have to walk on eggshells most of the time. When it’s a holiday or Valentine’s Day, he expects me to get him something, but he never does anything special for me. My friends think I’m still with him because I’m afraid to be alone. There are times when I enjoy his company, but not that often. I’m not even sexually attracted to him anymore. Should I continue on because it just might be a phase I’m going through? -- Tired of It Dear Tired: While all relationships go through ups and downs, yours includes verbal abuse and what appears to be a total lack of consideration. This is not acceptable behavior between loving spouses. If your husband is willing to go with you for counseling and work on this, there is hope for the relationship. If not (and we suspect not), please talk to a counselor on your own and try to clarify your feelings enough to make decisions about your future. There are worse things than being alone. Dear Annie: I have a friend who dominates every conversation. Upon sitting down to eat, she immediately starts talking about whatever is on her mind and never pauses to let anyone else get a word in. She never asks how anyone else is doing. If not interrupted, she can go on for hours. Ironically, she complains about how her sister talks on and on about herself. She can see these traits in her siblings, but doesn’t realize she is just as bad. Some days, I feel more like her unpaid therapist than a friend. Evenings out have become unpleasant to the point that we don’t socialize much anymore. I have two other friends who behave in a similar manner. I notice that all three come from very large families, so I wonder whether that contributes to their need for attention. Still, we are in our 50s, and they should be more socially mature by now. Don’t suggest confronting these people. They would be so offended, I would lose their friendship forever. I am not looking to change the relationships. I am writing because I wish each person reading this would ask themselves, “Could this be me?” When you sit down with people, ask how their day was. Listen intently until they are done. Don’t interrupt with something you “just have to” tell them. Maybe their conversation isn’t fascinating, but neither is yours. Everyone should be allowed to share and be heard. -- Bored in the USA Dear Bored: Amen. Some folks ramble on and on because they need to be the center of attention. Others have hearing problems and cannot clearly make out the conversation of others. Some fear they will forget what they intended to say if they don’t blurt it out immediately. We hope they appreciate your tolerance. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “A Kansas Caregiver,” who asked people to lend a hand to the caregivers. I cared for my husband who had dementia for seven years before he died. My lifesaver during that time was my caregiver support group. Since then, I have facilitated a caregiver group, and we meet monthly to share happy and poignant stories, medical progress, information about resources, etc. Mostly, meetings are a safe place filled with understanding, nonjudgmental people who are all on the same journey. -- Baton Rouge, La.

Joseph MacDonald Ross, age 91 of Kelowna, BC died the afternoon of February 26th in Kelowna General Hospital after several weeks of failing health. The last three weeks of his life allowed time for him to spend with his children and other family members. Joseph MacDonald Ross was born in Drumheller, Alberta on Jan 3rd, 1924 to Joseph Ross and Jean Ross (MacDonald). He was the first born of three children. His brother Frederick Ross, and Sister Jean Ross. Born of Scottish immigrants with thick Scottish accents. The boys were raised by their Father who was a miner that moved the family from Drumheller to Kenora, ON then to Bralorne, BC. Even with the hard times they had to endure, both Dad and Uncle Fred often spoke fondly of the experiences of their youth. Joe joined the Seaforth Highlanders in the infantry in World War II. Upon arriving in Europe was sent to Italy and fought in the 1st Canadian brigade assigned to General Montgomery and later General Alexander of the British 8th Army. Joe fought in some of the toughest and bloodiest battles in human history – with far more casualties than the days of the Roman Legions. He fought at the Gustav Line, the Liri Valley in the Battle of Mount Cassino against the German 10th. He fought in battles to relieve the Americans stuck on Anzio beach. He helped liberate Rome. He fought at the Gothic Line, the Hitler Line, and up to the PO river. After the war Joe returned to British Columbia and married his wife of 52 years Anne (Unger). They settled in Maple Ridge, BC where they raised five children. He worked at the largest cedar mill in the world for 29 years. He was a very hard worker and provided for his family well. Joe loved playing games and competing. He played hockey until he was 70. He skied for the first time at age 65. He loved golf. Upon retiring Joe and Anne moved to Kelowna BC. His Wife Anne predeceases him. He is survived by his daughters (Joanne (Niels) Pedersen, Julie(Tony) Blair and Jeannie(Barry) Walker) as well as his two sons (Bryan(Shannon) Ross and Joe(Wanda) Ross), 14 grandchildren and sixteen great grandchildren (with two on the way). He is also survived by his second wife Eleanor. He will be missed dearly by his family. The Ross family funeral will be held on Sunday March 8th at 11am at Springfield Funeral Home in Kelowna. All relatives of Joe and Anne Ross as well as friends of the Ross family are welcome to attend.

Harry Roberts was born in Kamloops, BC, the second of four children. The family moved to Saltspring Island and in 1939 war was declared and Harry joined the Canadian Scottish at the age of 16. He spent time in Nova Scotia and England before D-Day in June of 1944. He fought throughout the campaign in Europe being wounded twice and ending the war in hospital in Belgium. Upon his return to Canada he enrolled at UBC graduating with a degree in Commerce. A job with the Provincial Government led to a transfer to Cranbrook and many years of hiking, hunting and fishing. He was a passionate fly-fisher and could catch fish anywhere. He liked bears and enjoyed watching them and had several close encounters from which he emerged unscathed with humour intact. In the early seventies he acquired land near Bull River and built a house on his acreage. He spent many years there enjoying the scenery and superb wildlife viewing. His last years were spent in Cranbrook reading history, watching curling and enjoying his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is survived by his wife Eunice, his four children, Val, Bev, Tom and Laurie along with 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. No service at Harry’s request. A family gathering will be held at a future date.

Obituaries Barbara Black Hryciuk (nee Archibald) May 27, 1931 – February 26, 2015
Barbara passed away on Thursday, February 26, 2015 following a lengthy battle with many health challenges. Barb, or Buzz as she was known, was born May 27, 1931 in Kimberley, BC. She was one of five children of Archie and Barbara Archibald. A stay at home mom and homemaker, Barb took pride in her home and looking after her husband Bill and raising their three kids. During her younger days, Barb was an avid golfer and curler including winning the Ladies Club Champion Honours at both the Kimberley and Cranbrook Golf Clubs and playing in the BC curling playdowns on a rink with her sister May Shaw. She loved her time with friends on the links and in the curling clubs and in the last years shared many stories of the friendships shared and good times had. Her greatest treasures in life were her marriage of 63 years to her husband Bill, her three children John (Janice), Bruce (Debbie Sinclair) and Donna (Leigh Grainger), her nine grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Our family wishes to thank Dr. Dave Lenz for his compassion, kind ways and exceptional care of our Mom. At her request there will be no public service. Family and friends will gather later in the spring to celebrate her life. Those wishing to honour Barb may consider a donation to the East Kootenay Foundation for Health – ICU Redevelopment Campaign, c/o East Kootenay Regional Hospital, 13 – 24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 3H9 or to a charity of your choice.

NEWS US running out of room to store crude; oil and gas prices could plunge ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - The U.S. has so much crude that it is running out of places to put it, and that could drive oil and gasoline prices even lower in the coming months. For the past eight weeks, the United States has been producing and importing an average of 1.1 million more barrels of oil every day than it is consuming. That extra crude is flowing into storage tanks, especially at the country’s main trading hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, pushing U.S. supplies to their highest point in at least 80 years, the Energy Department reported Wednesday. If this keeps up, storage tanks could approach their operational limits, known in the industry as “tank tops,” by mid-April and send the price of crude - and probably gasoline, too - plummeting. The supply growth may even be speeding up. U.S. crude supplies rose 10.3 million barrels last week, the government said Wednesday, the largest jump so far this year. “The fact of the matter is we are running out of storage capacity in the U.S.,” Ed Morse, head of commodities research at Citibank, said at a recent symposium at the Council on Foreign Rela-
tions in New York. Morse has suggested oil could fall all the way to $20 a barrel from the current $50. At that rock-bottom price, oil companies, faced with mounting losses, would stop pumping oil until the glut eased. Gasoline prices would fall along with crude, though lower refinery production, because of seasonal factors and unexpected outages, could prevent a sharp decline. The national average price of gasoline is $2.44 a gallon. That’s $1.02 cheaper than last year at this time, but up 37 cents over the past month. Other analysts agree that crude is poised to fall sharply - if not all the way to $20 - because it continues to flood into storage for a number of reasons: - U.S. oil production continues to rise. Companies are cutting back on new drilling, but that won’t reduce supplies until later this year. - The new oil being produced is light, sweet crude, which is a type many U.S. refineries are not designed to process. Oil companies can’t just get rid of it by sending it abroad, because crude exports are restricted by federal law. - Foreign oil continues to flow into the U.S., both because of eco-
nomic weakness in other countries and to feed refineries designed to process heavy, sour crude. - This is the slowest time of year for gasoline demand, so refiners typically reduce or stop production to perform maintenance. As refiners process less crude, supplies build up. - Oil investors are making money buying and storing oil because of the difference between the current price of oil and the price for delivery in far-off months. An investor can buy oil at $50 today and enter into a contract to sell it for $59 in December, locking in a profit even after paying for storage during those months. The delivery point for most of the oil traded in the U.S. is Cushing, a city of about 8,000 people halfway between Oklahoma City and Tulsa at an intersection of several pipelines. The city is dotted with tanks that can, in theory, hold 85 million barrels of oil, according to the Energy Department, though some of those tanks are used for blending or feeding pipelines, not for storing oil. The market data provider Genscape, which flies helicopters equipped with infrared cameras and other technology over Cush-
Man arrested with sword in cane as he tried to visit his jailed son ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN ANTONIO - A San Antonio man trying to visit his jailed son also landed behind bars after being caught with a combination cane and 2-foot sword. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office says 53-year-old Jose Gonzalez faces a charge of unlawfully carrying a weapon.
Sheriff’s spokesman James Keith said Wednesday that the cane, with a handle fashioned like the head of a snake, was confiscated. Keith says the father was able to walk through a scanner on Monday without needing the cane, which went through another security device.
An alarm went off. An officer twisted off the top of the cane and drew out the sword, and the father was arrested. Jail records Wednesday did not list the father as still in custody. Details weren’t immediately available on the son’s name or charges.
Prince William urges China to do more to combat poaching during royal visit ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING - Prince William fed carrots to an elephant in southwestern China and raised the plight of its African counterparts being killed for their tusks in a speech Wednesday that called on China to do more to deter poaching. He urged China, which has come in for criticism that its citizens’ demand for ivory has fueled poaching, to be a global leader in combating the illegal wildlife trade. “Ultimately, ending demand for ivory is down to citizens across the world,” William told a conference on conservation in Yunnan province, wrapping up the first trip to China by a senior British royal in a generation. “No tradition or fashion is worth the extinction of an entire species, and no criminal gang should be allowed to destroy any part of nature,” the prince said.
The second in line to the British throne spent the day in Yunnan, a tropical region bordering Myanmar and Laos that has been the focus of government efforts to stop poaching and reduce conflicts between villagers and elephants that eat their crops. He commended China for contributing to the protection of wildlife in Africa and welcomed its announcement last week that it would tighten regulations governing the country’s legal trade in ivory. He added that there is “so much more to do,” including reducing demand for smuggled products. He said that President Xi Jinping had told him of China’s intention to do more during their meeting Monday. William arrived in China after visiting Japan. He delivered an invitation for Xi to visit Britain this year, met young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and
met business entrepreneurs in Shanghai. Earlier Wednesday, William visited an elephant sanctuary where he met Ran Ran, a 13-yearold female elephant who was discovered in 2005 with a leg wound caused by an iron clamp trap. Handed carrots by the animal’s keeper, William passed them to Ran Ran, who reached for more with her trunk even while her mouth was crammed full. There are about 250 wild Asian elephants in China, all in Yunnan, according to the province’s forestry administration. Last week, China banned ivory imports for one year in the hope that it would help reduce the demand for African tusks and protect wild elephants. There is still no ban on the ivory trade within the country, and conservationists say legal sales provide cover for a thriving black market.
ing twice a week to measure storage levels, estimates Cushing is two-thirds full. Hillary Stevenson, who manages storage, pipeline and refinery monitoring for Genscape, says Cushing could be full by mid-April. Supplies are increasing at “the highest rate we have ever seen at Cushing,” she says.
Full tanks - or super-low prices are not a sure thing. New storage is under construction at Cushing, and there are large storage terminals near Houston, in St. James, Louisiana, and elsewhere around the country that will probably begin to take in more oil as prices fall far enough to cover the cost of transporting the oil.
