Site to be Home Grown cleared More work to be done on former Esso site in downtown but it’s unlikely to be turned into greenspace C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Kimberley City Council is facing an immediate decision on what to do with the property at 170 Wallinger Avenue, the site of the former Esso business. The building on the lot had been sitting vacant for several years as the previous owner had been unable to sell it due to its history as an auto garage and the environmental clearance it would need to change hands. In the fall of 2014, previous Council voted (not without a great deal of debate) to take ownership of the lot through a land swap so that the City could deal with what was considered an eyesore in the downtown area. The land swap took place and the building came down. One of the possibilities considered for the site was a park or greenspace. That was one of the few uses that would be allowed without needing an environmental permit for a zoning change. A recent staff report recommended to Council that they go ahead with remediating the property and converting it to a greenspace immediately at a cost of $59,256. The reason for the haste is that there is a concern about one of the concrete containment tanks on the lot. According to the report, the used oil tank containment area is unsafe as the lid has deteriorated and won’t hold the weight of a person. The tank needs to be removed immediately. Teck has agreed to take all float from the site. While the staff recommendation was to go ahead and create a greenspace, Mayor Don McCormick says Council does not appear too keen on creating a greenspace with all its associated maintenance costs.

Arts & Culture Awards presented by Kimberley Arts Council
At its annual Arts & Culture Awards Gala on Thursday evening, March 12, Kimberley Arts Council honoured an individual and a See Page 4 business for outstanding
service to the arts in the community.

Revised schedule C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
For those who have been following the PeeWee Provincial Championships taking place here in Kimberley this week, please note that the time of the final game on Wednesday (today) has been moved to 4:30 p.m. There was always a
chance this would occur because of Dynamiter playoff games. While it was not known for sure when the decision was made if the Dynamiters would need the Civic Centre Wednesday night, it was decided it was best for all concerned if the teams knew their game time sooner rather than later.

Local Elections Expense Limits
Theatre 64 had another full house for Home Grown last Saturday. MC for the evening was Laurie Stewart. The musical evening was led off by the sopranos, altos, tenors and basses of the Kimberley Community Choir, ably directed by Marta Zeegers, with 3 selections, including Stan Roger’s Field Behind the Plow. Ken Jonsson then presented some of his original poetry. Craig Hillman on two guitars, one conventional wood and one beautiful shiny metal slide guitar, and Emilio Regina on piano next played and sang separately and together. High school students Alison Stoddart and Connor Klassen completed the first half with a strong performance. Intermission followed, with the usual sinful treats, and coffee, a chance to chat for the 120 attendees and the opportunity to view this month’s art exhibit in the Gallery. The second half began with 94 years young Bud Abbott strongly singing several songs, with Carol McGrath accompanying on piano. The numbers included a nod (complete with the accent) to St. Patrick’s Day. Larry Tuck introduced his “Something Fishy” group, who claim to actually catch big fish when skiing’s over. They produced several toe tappin’ tunes, complete with some of Bob Clark’s whistling and Barry Garland’s voice and guitar. Laurie then pointed out that the group had needed sheet music, unlike Bud who sang from memory! Don Davies next played some fantastically complicated and very impressive piano compositions; the sheet music for each filled the width of the piano! The evening finished too soon with Mark Langer’s very pleasant voice and guitar accompaniment. A great variety of performers, ranging in age from teenagers to seniors, just a portion of Kimberley and area’s wonderful collection of musicians.

In his President’s Report to the AGM Redfern outlined the many visual and performing arts programs organized and hosted by Kimberley arts council during 2014, commenting, “We might not rival the Key City Theatre in the number of shows we present, but we’re not doing badly.” He went on to praise the excellent achievements of the performing arts committee, chaired by Keith Nicholas, and the visual arts committee, chaired by Linda Douglas. He stated that the arts council had ended the year in sound financial shape and he expected it to continue in the same fiscally responsible manner through 2015.

Site to be cleared From Page 1 “The general feeling is that we are at the stage we are at — regardless of how we previously voted — and need to do something to complete the project, otherwise the site is not much better than it was before we took the building down,” McCormick said. “However, ‘greenspace’ with all of its maintenance cost implications is not what council wants to see. So the recommendation is likely to be to take advantage of the
Teck offer to remove the float, and finish clearing the site.” Council does like the idea of moving the cenotaph to the site, McCormick says, but not until a grant application for the project is successful. “If successful, we would move forward with that, and finish the site, with a maintenance free approach.” The matter will come up for a final vote next Monday at the regular meeting of Council.

news/Opinion Letters to the Editor
Land Conservancy Our sincere congratulations go out to the board members of The Land Conservancy of BC upon the completion of a Plan of Arrangement which, if accepted by the majority of creditors, will ensure the conservation of the lands held by TLC. The Court-monitored process to develop this Plan, begun in 2013, has been an arduous one
for all those involved, requiring a huge commitment of resources, time and energy to negotiate a solution which would be satisfactory to all stakeholders and to the Court. TLC board members have persisted with seemingly endless patience and creativity to put together a plan which will, first and foremost, be consistent with the conservation objectives of the organization and its mem-
bers, as well as fulfilling TLC’s responsibilities to creditors and ensuring its own long-term viability. The federal legislation covering TLC’s restructuring under Court supervision is normally applied to for-profit organizations, which further complicated this rare application to a non-profit organization. It is to TLC’s credit that they have negotiated their way through this
complex situation in such a way that the parties involved appear to have emerged with feelings of mutual respect and understanding. So once again, Bravo! to the members of the TLC board. And may all votes on the Plan, to be cast at the March 30 meeting, be YES! Carol and Walter Latter Kimberley
The Early Years
Protecting Our Children In
A nd rea S powart
Canada, one in three girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused by their 18th birthday. This means that when you look at a school classroom, a hockey team, a ballet class, or the children gathered at your child’s birthday party, you are seeing children who have been — or are being — sexually abused. These numbers are epidemic in their proportion, and yet, studies tell us that these numbers are conservative, as 95 per cent of children never disclose. We like to believe that the people sexually abusing our children are the creepy strangers in the park wearing trench coats. The reality is that 95 per cent of abusers in Canada are people who are emotionally close to our children and are often in a position of trust or authority. Abusers are family members such as grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, or siblings, or other people the child knows such as a teacher, coach, or friend’s parent. Child sexual abuse is one of the few issues that knows no boundaries. It crosses all cultures, religions, income levels, social status, gender and age. This raises the question: “How do we protect our children?” First, we teach children from a young age about their bodies; this includes teaching them the proper names for their body parts. This takes away the stigma of talking about their private parts and sets our children up to have open, honest conversations. Second, we talk to our children about boundaries. We discuss what is appropriate and inappropriate in various situations with a variety of different people. For example, we explain to our children why it’s not okay for an uncle to look at a
seven-year-old’s bum, but it is okay for a doctor to do so with a parent present. We also show children that the boundaries they have set for themselves are respected, such as asking for privacy when changing. Third, we explain to our children that saying “no” is allowed. This means empowering a child to make the choice as to who they hug or don’t hug. Allowing a child to say “no” to an unwanted hug or touch teaches them they are in charge of their bodies and what happens to them. This also involves teaching the adults around your child to ask permission before hugging or kissing them, and respecting the child when they say “no.” Fourth, we help children learn about all of their emotions and how to recognize them in themselves and in others. This means that when a child feels uncomfortable they will be able to recognize it and do something about it. Fifth, we train our children to distinguish between secrets and surprises. We encourage children to tell a parent any time someone tells them to keep a secret. Lastly, we minimize one-on-one adult / child interactions. Research tells us that 80 per cent of child sexual abuse happens in one-on-one adult/child situations. As true as this fact is, it is also recognized that a one adult/one child situation can be extremely important and valuable for a child. So when in these situations, there are a number of safeguards that can be
implemented to make the time as riskfree as possible: insist that the activity can be observed (in a room with windows, glass in the door, or a public place), inform the adult that someone will be dropping in during the scheduled one-on-one time, drop in unexpectedly if possible, and require that the adult tells you what activities are planned (ask both the adult and child individually afterwards to confirm what took place). When we put all of these pieces together, we end up with a child who knows what is appropriate and inappropriate, who can recognize when they are feeling uncomfortable, who knows they have the right to say “no” (along with first-hand experience of their “no” being listened to), and who feels completely comfortable talking to adults about their bodies and if their boundaries have been disrespected. What abuser is going to target this child? Rather, they are going to prey on the child who believes it is “yucky” to talk about their private parts, who isn’t sure what is okay and what is not, who has been told to hug no matter what, and who doesn’t know what they are feeling when their non-existent boundaries are crossed. Protect your children…talk to them.

Chamber welcomes Canada-U.S. preclearance agreement For the Townsman
The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce applauds the federal government’s announcement of a comprehensive agreement between Canada and the United States to allow preclearance activities by land, rail, marine, and air in both countries. “This preclearance announcement recognizes the truly integrated nature of our transportation system and by
extension, our economies,” said Dave Struthers, Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce president in a press release. Struthers added, “That the BC and Canadian Chamber network - via the chamber policy process, has long supported the implementation of the Beyond the Border initiative. As active participants in the Chamber movement we are extremely pleased with the demonstrable success of the BC
and Canadian Chambers of Commerce on this file.” Given the proximity of the vast majority of Canadians, and the resulting economic activities, to the Canada – US boarder it is important to reduce as many barriers to trade and commerce and physical choke points as possible. Cranbrook Chamber Executive Director David D. Hull commented: “With $2 billion a day in trade crossing our
shared border with the U.S., any and all opportunities to keep that border fluid is welcome news.” “Whether it is business-people flying back and forth to finalize a deal that will grow their companies, or tourists catching a train or a bus to go visit our respective countries, this preclearance agreement will open up our borders to all the economic benefit that goes with these activities,” Hull said.

The resurrection of Vladimir Putin
If
he just had the ‘flu, why didn’t they say that he just had the ‘flu? We’d all have sent him get-well cards, and that would have been the end of it. The lengthy and mysterious absence of Vladimir Putin ended on Monday, when the Russian president emerged in St. Petersburg to greet the visiting president of Kyrgyzstan, Almazbek Atambayev. The only explanation he offered for his 11day disappearance from public view was that “It would be boring without gossip.” The rumour mill certainly went into overdrive during his absence. He had suffered a stroke. He was in Switzerland for the birth of his child with his alleged girlfriend, gymnast Alina Kabayeva. He’d had a face-lift, or maybe just another botox job. There had been a palace coup, perhaps connected in some way to the murder of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov last month. All mere speculation, whose only useful function was to hold the ads apart. The Kremlin remains, as it was in Communist and Tsarist times, a place of perpetual intrigue, and Kremlinology is as imprecise a science as ever. There are clearly rival factions struggling to influence Putin’s decisions, but nobody can clearly say what they want or even who belongs to which one. Why, for example, was Putin’s first action after his resurrection an order to put the Russian navy on full combat readiness in the Arctic, of all places? That’s a long way from Ukraine, which is the focus of the current confrontation between Russia and the Western powers. Is Putin opening up a new front, or just demonstrating his resolve? And if so, who is the demonstration aimed at? NATO? Some faction in the Kremlin? Both?
The problem with an opaque regime like Putin’s is the difficulty in reading its motives and intentions. Even democratic governments like that of the United States can be reckless and unpredictable – consider President George W. Bush’s decisions after 9/11 – but American policy is a miracle of transparency to the deciGwynne compared sion-making process in Moscow. The difference is Dyer stark, and it has serious effects in the real world. At the moment, for example, there is a major debate underway in Washington (and in other NATO capitals as well) about whether Putin must now be seen as an “expansionist” leader who has to be stopped before he goes any farther. The debate strongly resembles the one about Soviet intentions after the Second World War, which ended in a Western decision that the Soviet Union was an expansionist power that had to be “contained”. The debate back then drew heavily on analogies with the rise of Hitler in the 1930s and the failure of the policy of “appeasement” – and the decision to surround the Soviet Union with alliances and military bases, right or wrong, led to an extremely dangerous 40-year Cold War. Hitler has been dead for 70 years and the world is now a very different place, but here comes the same old debate again. If you argue in Washington today that Putin’s actions in Ukraine are not the first step in his plan for world conquest, but just a clumsy over-reaction to the overthrow of pro-Russian former president Viktor Yanukovych by the rebels in Kiev a year ago, you can be sure that various people will accuse you of being an appeaser. They don’t even understand what the “appeasement” policy actually involved. British defence spending, for example, more than doubled in the five years be-
tween Hitler’s rise to power and the decision to go to war with Hitler. They knew they might have to fight him in the end, but they used the time before they were ready to fight to see if he could be appeased by giving him back some of the territory Germany had lost after the First World War. If it had worked, it would have been a lot cheaper than fighting a second world war. In the end it didn’t work, and so Britain and France went to war. But it is extremely unlikely that the NATO powers are in a similar situation now. For one thing, they never really disarmed after the end of the Cold War, so they don’t have to re-arm now even if Putin does turn out to have big plans. If Putin really is planning on world conquest – or at least on recreating the old Soviet Union – then he has left it very late. Hitler started grabbing territory within a couple of years of coming to power. Apart from a little war with Georgia (which Georgia started), Putin has waited fifteen years to make his first move. If he does have a plan, it’s a very slow-moving one. Besides, his strategists will be warning him that Russia could not hold up its end of a new Cold War for very long. Russia has only half the population of the old Soviet Union, and it is now a largely de-industrialised petro-state with a GDP comparable to Italy’s. He is probably just blundering around, trying desperately to save face after his humiliation in last year’s Ukrainian revolution. Unfortunately, what goes on inside the Kremlin is so obscure that nobody can be sure of his ultimate intentions. That leaves a nice large space for the hawks in the West to play in, and they are taking full advantage of it. But Putin probably just had a bad case of ‘flu.

Kootenay kings
Nitros ground ‘Hawks to claim KIJHL conference championship Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
In the history book of Kimberley hockey, the 2014-15 edition of the Kimberley Dynamiters is in the midst of penning a very special chapter of its own and the ink hasn’t run out yet. The Dynamiters ensured the chronicle carried on as they advanced to the 2015 KIJHL Championship with a 5-1 defeat of the Beaver Valley Nitehawks in Game 5 of the Kootenay Conference final Tuesday night in Fruitvale. “I’m a big believer that life is a scrapbook and it’s up to you to create the pages,” said Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks. “As a group, we’ve created some pages so far and hopefully we can keep going.” It has been 35 years since a Junior B hockey team in Kimberley made an appearance in the KIJHL championship series, with the 1979-80 Kimberley Knights being the last to do so. “It feels awesome. This is the best group I’ve ever worked with,” Bancks said. “I’m a big believer that good things happen to good people and I’m just so happy for everyone of these kids. It’s something they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.” Bancks and the Dynamiters booked their
ticket to the KIJHL championship in serious fashion Tuesday night as they knocked off the defending league-champion Beaver Valley Nitehawks -- a team that also happened to win the 2014 Cyclone Taylor Cup as B.C. Junior B champions and 2014 Keystone Cup as Western Canadian Junior B champions. “They’re a good team. Strong, strong on their sticks and forecheck hard,” Bancks said. “A lot of credit goes to them.” Bancks described it as an “honour” to have played a team of the calibre presented by the Beaver Valley Nitehawks. With the game hardly 16 minutes old, defenceman Tyler Kinnon scored the game-winning goal with a long point shot that found a hole in Nitehawks goaltender Carson Schamerhorn. Nitehawks forward Jacob Boyczuk, who returned from suspension for Game 5, clawed his team back within one as he scored a power-play goal midway through the second period. But that’s as close as it got for the Nitehawks as the Dynamiters scored three third-period goals to put the game and series out of reach. Braden Saretsky continued his hot pace with a power-play goal -- his 13th tally in 16 playoff
games -- to start the third period before Trevor Van Steinburg added to the lead with 5:28 to play. California kid Keenan Haase iced the victory with an empty-net goal in the final 30 seconds of regulation. “We’ve got tremendous leadership right from top to bottom,” Bancks said. “Nobody blocks shots at this level the way we do. There are people that play for thousands of dollars that won’t do what some of these kids will do and that comes from the leadership. They’ve all bought into it and it’s a character group. “If you notice in the third period, that’s where we won this series and probably all the other series as well. That comes from a group you can push really hard.” Tyson Brouwer was his usual steady self, turning aside 46 shots, including an incredible 40 saves through the first 40 minutes of play, to backstop his team to a Kootenay Conference championship. A return to the KIJHL championship is something long-awaited for Junior B hockey fans in Kimberley, with the 1979-80 Kimberley Knights being the last Kimberley-based KIJHL team to make a trip to the league final. The Knights eventu-

For Bancks, assistant coach Jeff Keiver and many others involved in today’s Dynamiters organization, a league title came about in more recent memory. Bancks was the coach and Keiver a player with the 1998-99 Kimberley Dynamiters, a team which competed in the now-defunct Rocky Mountain Junior A Hockey League (RMJHL). That edition of the Dynamiters earned the last RMJHL title in league history before going on to be the only RMJHL team to ever win a game over a BCHL opponent in Mowat Cup play -- the B.C.

Through the trenches Kootenay Ice visit Lethbridge Hurricanes Wednesday night
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
A 72-game Western Hockey League schedule is no easy breeze and though players may become better accustomed over their years in the trenches, it’s still a battle to suit up for every single regular-season game. With three games remaining on the Kootenay Ice slate, only four players on the roster have a shot at reaching the 72-game plateau this season. Veteran Austin Vetterl, second-years Matt Alfaro, Zak Zborosky and Troy Murray, have each
suited up in all 69 games for the Kootenay Ice heading into Wednesday’s matchup with the Lethbridge Hurricanes. “You’ve just got to stay focused, night in and night out,” Alfaro said Tuesday. “Coming from midget, I played 34 [games]. Being a second-year [player] now, it’s a lot easier than last year. It was a big eye-opener basically playing two seasons in one. “Really, just staying in shape and getting your rest at night will keep you going.” Alfaro got his game going this past week-
end, chipping in with three goals in a pair of wins over the Medicine Hat Tigers and Red Deer Rebels. “It’s always good, being a third-line guy, to get some offense and get some points,” said the native of Calgary. “We’re going down the stretch here to the playoffs and we want to stay in the playoff spot that we’re in and not drop. It’s always key to get contributions from everyone.” In his second year with the Ice, the 6-foot-2 Alfaro has established career numbers, posting 13 goals, 19 assists and 32 points in 69 games
after managing two goals, 12 assists and 14 points in 65 games during his rookie season. Though Alfaro went unranked by the NHL Central Scouting Service, he is eligible for the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. Sights are set on the Hurricanes, as the Ice head to Lethbridge for the seventh and final meeting of the season between the two teams. One more win ensures the Ice the first wild card and a playoff date with either the Calgary Hitmen or Medicine Hat Tigers. See dailytownsman. com for more.
the BCHL and RMJHL champions. “I would consider it a part of the Dynamiters history, for sure,” Bancks said. “A lot of the same fan base, a lot of the same volunteers…That’s a very special year. It’s definitely a part of the Kimberley history. “I’m just so thrilled for the people who have been involved with this team for so many years.” The last time Kimberley won a junior-hockey championship of any kind, Bancks was at the helm. The last time Kimberley won a KIJHL championship, Bancks was skating out his final CIS-playing days with the University of Calgary. When the final buzzer sounded at the Beaver Valley Arena, Dynamiters fans in attendance
could be heard celebrating over the broadcast. Meanwhile, social media exploded as fans tweeted their congratulations and excitement over the return of championship hockey to the City of Kimberley. “When I left the Kootenay Ice, it was out of a sense of civic duty,” Bancks said. “The Dynamiters has always been an important part of the community. It’s a focal point for many people and a gathering place. It’s so important and I’m so thrilled for some of the people that have been Dynamiter fans -it’s 35 years since a Junior B team has gotten as far as we have. I’m so happy for those people because they deserve it. “This is the best organization in the KIJHL and that’s because of the
fan base…You’ll come back to Kimberley for the rest of your life if you play hockey in Kimberley and it’s because of the way the people treat us. That’s what it’s all about.” Fans in Kimberley will be treated to Games 1 and 2 of the KIJHL Championship as the Dynamiters hold homeice advantage over a Kamloops Storm team that advanced from the O kanagan/Shuswap Conference by defeating the regular-season champion Osoyoos Coyotes in five games. Dates and times are still to be determined. Though the next chapter remains to be written, what has been determined is the 201415 KIJHL season will go down in Kimberley hockey history as one of the best.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Assume a low profile, if you can. You might find that straying from your normally assertive self will prove to be helpful. Use your sixth sense with your finances, especially if you’re looking to make an important purchase. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll have a unique opportunity to move forward with a project. You also could be on the verge of manifesting a longterm goal. A partner might not be in tune with your ideas. Go on your own, if you must. Your intuition seems to be right-on. Tonight: Where the fun is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be in a position where you must take the lead. A friend or partner might give you the cold shoulder. Perhaps this person is envious of your rising popularity. Don’t take his or her comments or actions personally. Tonight: Where the action is.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance who might have strong opinions but is generally right. Hearing several different views never hurts, especially if you are dealing with a problem and looking for a solution. Your instincts are right-on. Tonight: Use your imagination. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be willing to make an adjustment to your funds. Goodwill goes a long way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others seek you out, as they feel they need to spend more time with you. On some level, this type of popularity creates pressure. Though you will be flattered, it would be wise to detach from the here and now and look at the bigger picture. You will like what you see. Tonight: Out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I married “Oliver” 20 year ago, and we moved to a small Midwestern city where Oliver was offered a well-paying job. I’m impressed with my husband’s “staying power” and am proud that he’s been able to keep this job through thick and thin. However, his pay leveled out a few years ago, and he hasn’t had an appreciable raise in many years. Our cost of living, however, has increased. This is not an area where I can easily find a job in my chosen career. I’ve been fortunate to be able to work from home while raising our children, but the oldest will be out of high school in June. I’ve been unhappy here the entire time we’ve lived in this town. It’s a declining area, there is no job growth, and travel can be impossible in the winter because of the snow and ice. I’ve tried to “grow where I’m planted,” getting involved in the community and the school, but I’m dying on the vine. I’ve had enough. I want to move to a more vibrant area, a better climate, and a place where I have more employment options. Oliver, however, has no interest in relocating. I want to be out of here within five years, when our youngest child finishes high school. But Oliver is a homebody and doesn’t like change. We can’t afford a second home or an annual winter vacation. If Oliver won’t go, I’m considering leaving on my own. I’ve put in my time, and he’s had his career. When is it my turn? -- Stuck in the Midwest Dear Stuck: You have five years to get Oliver ready for a change of scenery. Start to research areas that appeal to you and that also offer job opportunities for Oliver. Look into housing prices, cost of living and community organizations. Try to take at least one vacation in the area to see whether it meets your expectations. Then inform Oliver that this is where you would like to move and when. Bring it up every few months, showing him your “new neighborhood” and the things you will do there. Make it familiar to him, and he will be more amenable to going there. Dear Annie: I am a great-grandmother who left an abusive husband in the 1960s. My children were sexually abused by him. We have all been in counseling. I have uncovered intergenerational abuse in both my family and my ex-husband’s family. Domestic abuse has also been found in the homes of my children and grandchildren. I am presently doing all I can to protect the great-grandchildren. My ex-husband is planning a trip to see the family, and I have warned all the parents not to leave their children alone with him and explained why. He may be 80, but he is still capable of offending. As loving grandparents, we must do all we can to protect the children. The healing is long-term. -- BC Canada Dear Canada: Your family seems to have had some major issues with abuse that have persisted through the generations. We are glad all of you have had counseling. You also are wise to protect the great-grandchildren from your ex-husband, even though such information is often difficult to convey and believe. Dear Annie: Your answer to “Brokenhearted in Florida” was much too nice. I don’t know what her circumstances were when she gave up her son, but to give up a child at age 4 is pretty harsh. Telling him he should have contacted her sooner is just an excuse to avoid contact and is so cruel that I can’t wrap my head around it. It can take years to track down birth parents. “Brokenhearted” sounds like a cold woman without empathy. Maybe she deserves to feel a small bit of what her son has been feeling all these years. -- Stunned in Pittsburgh Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website 1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.
3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach. 4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper
Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.
5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web
content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.
6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.
7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35. 8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness.

Sun storm packs punch Surprisingly strong blast of plasma from sun smacks Earth, may pull northern lights show south Seth Borenstein Associated Press
A severe solar storm smacked Earth with a surprisingly big geomagnetic jolt Tuesday, potentially affecting power grids and satellite tracking systems while pushing the colorful northern lights farther south, U.S. forecasters said. So far no damage has been reported. Two blasts of magnetic plasma left the sun on Sunday, combined and arrived on Earth about 15 hours earlier and much stronger than expected, said Thomas Berger, director of the Space Weather Prediction Center. This storm ranks a 4, called severe, on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s 1-to-5 scale for geomagnetic effects. It is the strongest solar storm to blast Earth since the fall of 2013. It’s been nearly a decade since a level 5 storm, termed extreme, has hit Earth. Forecasters had predicted level 1.
Tuesday’s sun storm ranks a 4, called severe, on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s 1-to-5 scale for geomagnetic effects. “It’s significantly stronger than expected,” Berger said. Forecasters had predicted a glancing blow instead of dead-on hit. Another theory is that the combination of the two storms made it worse, but it’s too early to tell if that’s so, he said. The storm seemed to be weakening slightly, but that may not continue, and it could last all day, officials
said. It has the potential to disrupt power grids but only temporarily. It also could cause degradation of the global positioning system, so tracking maps and locators may not be as precise as normal. Often these types of storms come with bursts of radiation that can affect satellite operations, but this one has not, Berger said.
Multi-faith letter invites pope to ‘break bread’ with poor in Vancouver C a n a d i a n P r e ss
A coalition of multifaith groups has invited Pope Francis to break bread with residents of Vancouver’s most impoverished neighbourhood. Eight advocacy groups including the United Church of Canada wrote to the Vatican requesting the pope walk the Downtown Eastside when he is next in North America. The letter, dated last month, also asks the pope to visit First Nations reserves and celebrate mass from a barge in Vancouver’s English Bay, surrounded by indigenous canoes. The groups represent Roman Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim and Aboriginal people, and say they all

Israeli voting ends in deadlock Josef Federman Associated Press
JERUSALEM - Israeli parliamentary elections ended Tuesday in a virtual deadlock, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party appearing to hold the upper hand in forming the next governing coalition. Exit polls conducted by the country’s three major TV stations late Tuesday gave mixed results, showing an extremely tight race between Netanyahu’s Likud Party and opposition leader Isaac Herzog’s Zionist Union. All showed the centrist newcomer Moshe Kahlon with enough seats to determine who will be the next prime minister. Kahlon, a Likud breakaway, has not said whether he favours Netanyahu or Herzog. Two polls showed the parties deadlocked with 27 seats each, and a third gave Likud a slight lead of 28-27. Since the parties all fall short of the required 61-seat majority in parliament, the country will now head into weeks of negotiations as they try to form a coalition. Israel is divided between two major “blocs” of voters - right wing and religious parties that tend to take a hard line toward the Palestinians, and dovish par-

ties focused on establishing a Palestinian state as part of a peace agreement. The left wing appeared to have slightly more seats, but would rely heavily on a new Arab list that has said it will not sit in a coalition. That gives Netanyahu and his right-wing allies the upper hand. But Kahlon, who has already demanded control of the Finance Ministry, is likely to drive a hard bargain before agreeing to join the government. The vote was largely seen as a referendum on Netanyahu. While he focused his campaign almost entirely on security mat-

Pope Francis value the pontiff’s spiritual leadership to the marginalized. They assert that government, churches and social agencies in Canada haven’t worked hard enough to find solutions to the growing numbers of people in Vancouver’s urban core
who are homeless and have mental disabilities. The groups say an ideal time for the visit would be between May and September, and go on to say the pope’s presence would put an international spotlight on their concerns.

ters, his opponents, including Kahlon, turned their attention to bread and butter issues and the country’s high cost of living. Stav Shaffir, a leader of the Zionist Union, called the results a “clear vote of no confidence in Netanyahu.” She said the Zionist Union would wait for the official results before declaring victory or defeat, but claimed Netanyahu’s opponents “have a majority.” Channel 2 TV’s commentator Amnon Abramovitch predicted Netanyahu would form a rickety coalition, and that “he will be a prisoner in his own government.”
MONTREAL - NDP Leader Tom Mulcair is reiterating his openness to a possible coalition with the Liberals if it is necessary to topple Stephen Harper’s Conservatives. While expressing confidence he will become prime minister with a majority government, Mulcair told reporters Tuesday the scenario of a minority government cannot be excluded and that turfing the Tories is imperative. The Opposition leader accused his Liberal counterpart, Justin Trudeau, of putting personal interests ahead of those of Canadians. Trudeau has repeatedly stated he’s not interested in discussing coalitions. “Whenever we have opened that door, Justin Trudeau slams it shut,” Mulcair said in Montreal. “My first priority is to get rid of Stephen Harper. The first priority of Justin Trudeau is Justin Trudeau.” The NDP leader said this year’s election should be a threeway battle from the outset, pav-
Thomas Mulcair ing the way for a social democratic government. But if the Tories were to return, Mulcair has said a post-election alliance with the Liberals could be necessary. A few years ago, when Liberal fortunes were plummeting, it was Mulcair who categorically ruled out a coalition. In February 2014, Mulcair suggested his 2012 comments were intended to indicate only that he wouldn’t agree to any form of electoral co-operation with the Liberals during an election. Mulcair reminded reporters on Tuesday that the NDP had concluded an alliance with the
Liberals in 2008 but that the Grits reneged. At the time, it wouldn’t have been possible for the Liberals and New Democrats to form a coalition government without including the Bloc Quebecois, and dealing with the separatist political outfit was unpalatable to the Liberals. “In 2008, our priority was to get rid of Stephen Harper and so we put water in our wine when we signed a coalition agreement with the Liberals,” Mulcair said. “The Liberals raised their noses at their own signature and Stephen Harper is still there.” But Mulcair maintains his goal is to form a majority NDP government. To do so, he’s counting on a repeat performance in Quebec, where the party under former leader Jack Layton won 59 seats in 2011. Mulcair is hoping to do better, capturing 60 of a possible 78 seats in the province. “We will win all the seats we already have in Quebec and we will add more - we are confident of that,” Mulcair said, adding the party’s policy resonates well with Quebecers.
