The Cranbrook Curling Club brought out the big guns to help generate excitement for the Sportsnet Grand Slam of Curling Tour Challenge during a Chamber of Commerce meeting on Tuesday. Kevin Martin, a legend-

ary Canadian figure in the game of curling, was in town to tour through the area and help the sports broadcasting network build up some local sponsorship buzz. Martin, along with Sportsnet’s Rob DePodesta, Manager, Integrated Sponsorship Sales, gave a brief

presentation to media and interested dignitaries following a monthly chamber luncheon at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort. “The Tour Challenge is coming here—that’s the biggest event,” said Martin. “There’s 60 teams, the biggest in number [on the

Cranbrook celebrated Leap Day, Monday, Feb. 29, with the return of Johnny Reid to Western Financial Place. The Canadian Country great hit the stage with an explosive, high energy show, backed by a rocking big band which included a guest appearance by Natalie McMaster on fiddle. Reid last appeared in April, 2012, and the boisterous crowd in Western Financial Place was glad to have him back. Opening the show for Reid were singer-songwriter Aaron Goodvin (bottom, left) and JJ Shiplett (bottom right), from Calgary, whose band included Creston’s Daniel Huscroft (pictured below, with Shiplett) on lead guitar and fiddle.

Martin enthuastic about Cranbrook Grand Slam Continued from page 1

The fine imposed on Teck Trail Operations relates to 13 accidental discharges that occurred between November 2013 and February 2015.

Teck fined millions for polluting Columbia River Sheri Regnier Trail Times

Teck Trail Operations was penalized $3.4 million in Rossland Provincial Court on Monday. The fine relates to 13 accidental discharges that occurred between November 2013 and February 2015, according to the company’s news release. Effluent with elevated levels of substances including copper, zinc, ammonia, chlorine and cadmium were released by outfall into the Columbia River, leading to five charges under the Fisheries and Environmental Management Acts. A portion of the penalty will be designated for local environmental conservation funds. In relation to the federal Fisheries Act charges, $3 million of the fine will be directed to the Environmental Damages Fund,confirmed Catherine Adair, Teck community relations leader. “The judge recommended that these funds be directed to conservation and protection of fish habitat in the Lower Columbia region,” said Adair. “Which includes the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers from Nelson south.” The remaining $400,000 is in relation to the provincial Environmental

Management Act charges, explained Adair. She said $390,000 will be directed to the Habitat Conservation Trust Fund, and used for projects that enhance biological diversity, fish, fish habitat and wildlife habitat in the Lower Columbia, which includes the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers from Nelson south. The remaining $10,000 will go to general revenue, she added. “Incidents of this kind are simply not acceptable,” Thompson Hickey, general manager of Trail operations, said in the release. “That is why we are working hard to improve our environmental standards.” Specific corrective action was taken following reviews of each incident, Hickey added. “We are also investing in additional measures that further enhance our operations and improve overall environmental performance.” Teck is investing $8.1 million to improve effluent management, including a retention reservoir upstream at the CIV outfall to capture unplanned discharges. Enhanced training and processes have also been implemented. For detailed information about each incident, visit teck.com, click on Trail operations and the TrailOperations Effluent Management link.

Street sweeping operations in Cranbrook underway For the Townsman

City of Cranbrook Public Works crews began spring street sweeping operations around the community late last week. Motorists are asked to please slow down around the street sweeping equipment and their operators and give the equipment space as you drive by. Crews will continue into different areas of the City over the next few months with evening street cleaning operations expected to begin in April.

Residents who do park their vehicles on the street, especially in residential areas are asked to please watch for sweepers in their neighbourhood and do their best to move their vehicles off the street to allow for easier street cleaning. Sweeping operations are expected to be finished by early June.

“Only three teams would’ve qualified out of the Scotties field to come here,” Martin said. “Two teams in the Tier 1 event and one team in the Tier 2 event. “Jennifer Jones, of course, would’ve qualified for the Tier 1; Chelsea Carey—ranked number 10 in the world—she would’ve qualified for the Tier 1 event here. Kerri Einarson, ranked 16th in the world, would’ve qualified for the Tier 2 event, not the Tier 1 if you can imagine.” The calibre of play is high, which translates into strong television ratings, Martin continued. That is due to the two-fold success of Sportsnet growing the sport, and the Grand Slam events, which were originally created to give young curlers a competitive outlet after losing to veterans who would go on to compete in the Tim Horton’s Brier or the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. “The bottom line of the Grand Slams; the reason they exist is for junior curling—for growth in kids,” Martin said. “But the premise is of the best of the best playing around the world, the best teams in the world, playing on the best ice condi-

tions…” Rick O’Neill, the president of the Cranbrook Curling Club, also gave a brief presentation to chamber members during the luncheon to introduce Martin and give a breakdown of what will be happening between Nov. 8-13, 2016. The event will take over the ice surfaces at Western Financial Place and the Memorial Arena during the duration of the competition. Sportsnet will have a minimum of 18 hours of broadcasting airtime, which doesn’t include

success of the event, O’Neill added that Sportsnet will keep Cranbrook in mind for future Grand Slam stops in the future. O’Neill also took time to single out Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt and Paul Heywood, events manager for the City of Cranbrook, for their work in landing the Grand Slam event

The misadventures of Matt Haas

Invermere Matt Haas has become known as Hazmat by his associates and the small staff at the local hospital. He keeps arriving in emergency there in an ambulance or some neighbour’s truck or car. However, he is invariably tossed out after the staff has assiduously examined him and decided that there is nothing seriously treatable wrong with the fellow. They have been extremely patient with their odd patient over the years. But Matt can be strange; it must be a mental thing. His late wife, Theresa, claimed to the end that her husband Matt — she didn’t call him Hazmat in company but did have other sobriquets to describe her spouse’s odd behaviour — her Matt was probably why their two kids left town as soon as they were able. The winter before last a neighbour found Matt lying apparently dead, or at least unconscious under the battered Ford truck that was parked in Matt’s driveway. When the neighbour made some jocular but affable remark to the inert body he got no response. He waited, tried again, kicked Matt with his boot then, making up his mind, dragged the body out. As he had difficulty in locating a pulse, he called emergency. When the hospital staff got through all

the layers of Matt’s winter clothing, they discovered that their patient had merely been asleep. “What’s all the fuss? “Matt is reported to have muttered. “Tail pipe needs a new strap.” Another year in May, Matt was ‘rescued’ again. This time it was the gas meter lady making her rounds who found an upturned ladder, a pump sprayer container with insecticide in it and Matt’s body under a decorative crab-apple tree. The young Peter woman didn’t panic but did that the man’s face was Warland note badly scratched and that he was breathing in a very shallow way. Even though a trained ski patroller at Panorama in the winters, she felt compelled to call for help. Once again Matt was tossed out onto his ear because there was nothing wrong with him except for a couple of bruises and those scratches on his already scarred face. When he came to, Matt attempted to explain to the orderly who was watching warily as the non-patient tottered out of the door wondering if he’d be forced to walk all the way home. He muttered, “I was trying to spray those leaf-curler bugs when I came face to face with that ugly brute of a tomcat from next door jammed in between two branches. I tried to get him out but he went for me like a pissed off cougar.” He didn’t seem to recall any other details of that event. “Come at me

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

like some demon. I didn’t break that pump, did I?” But the choicest incident that I enjoy retelling took place on Matt’s — what he calls — lawn a few summers back when Terry was still alive and wondering what she ever saw in her husband so many years before. It seems that, after his after-lunch nap, Matt decided to move the sprinkler over to the many bare patches on his threadbare lawn. However, when he spotted that great mule-deer buck under his apple tree, he yelled and ran at it but managed to trip on coils of hose and, being unable to sort out his feet, fell flat on his face. Now this scene calls for a cast of thousands. At that moment, Wally, the son of Theresa’s sister arrived in his pick-up with his two large dogs. Man and dogs unloaded and headed towards the house anticipating treats. However, the deer moved and the two dogs gave chase with extreme enthusiasm. Wally yelled, ignoring his uncle’s supine body under the sprinkler and called his hounds to heel then headed in to be greeted by an enthusiastic aunt, who, noticing her recumbent husband, turned aside to turn off the sprinkler asking of Matt, “You all right?” then hustling off to attend to her household duties. “Why do only damn weeds come here?” muttered Matt to the deer that, unfazed by the chase, had returned, “Why not grass?”

Ice can’t claw back as Tigers pounce early for shutout victory Medicine Hat Tigers blank Kootenay Ice Tuesday night; Regina Pats next up Wednesday

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Behind the eight-ball early, the Kootenay Ice couldn’t recover. The Medicine Hat Tigers scored twice in the first period of play, including a tally from Max Gerlach only 1:17 into the affair, en route to a 3-0 shutout victory Tuesday night. “They had good jump, but they score on their first shot and to me, it’s not a good goal,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, over the phone from Medicine Hat Tuesday night. “It puts us behind and then their second goal, again, I didn’t really like. You get behind early and I thought Declan [Hobbs, goaltender] battled hard in the latter stages — the second and third [periods] — but he’s got to be ready to play early. “It put our team behind and we had a tough time catching up from there.” Hobbs went on to make 34 saves, but it wasn’t enough to salvage the poor start. After Gerlach scored his 26th of the season only 1:17 into the first period, Tigers forward Matt Bradley doubled the advantage at the 10:40 mark to give Medicine Hat more than enough offense for the night. A scoreless second period gave way to the third period and Zach Fischer put the final dagger on the board

with a power-play marker at 11:02. Trailing 2-0 heading into the third period, the Ice only managed five shots over the final 20 minutes of play. Much of that could be attributed to the fact Medicine Hat was handed five power-play opportunities in the period, including a two-minute 5-on-3 man advantage after defenceman Ryan Pouliot was tagged with a slashing major and forward River Beattie received an instigating minor and fighting major at the same stoppage. “I thought our energy was better in the third and then, certainly, you have to be very careful when you’re begin critical of the officials,” Pierce said. “They’re certainly not the reason why we lost the hockey game. But all of a sudden stuff in the third period that had been going on all game long starts

getting called. It was a bizarre set of circumstance from my standpoint and it certainly didn’t allow us to generate a lot of momentum.” Pouliot was ejected from the game after slashing Tigers forward James Hamblin. The rookie went down on the play and appeared hurt, but returned for the ensuing power play. As a scrum broke out in Kootenay territory following Pouliot’s slash, Beattie dropped the mitts with Tyler Preziuso, landing a few heavy right blows before officials stepped in to tie the two up. Beattie returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing two games due to illness. “In the third, I thought River was good, he got engaged a little more,” Pierce said. “But early on, you could tell he had been out for a while. He looked a little

A busy road swing continues Wednesday evening (6 p.m. Mountain) for the Ice, as they visit the Regina Pats (3026-3-4). Including Tuesday’s loss in Medicine Hat, the Ice play four road games over five days this week. Following Wednesday’s tilt with the Pats, Kootenay carries on to Prince Albert (Friday) and Saskatoon (Saturday). “We need more contributions, not necessarily offense, but just guys playing well from the depths of our lineup,”

Pierce said looking ahead to the rest of the swing. “I’m not going to play Matt Alfaro and Zak Zborosky for 30 minutes a night, as much as they want to play. “Even if it gives us the best chance to win games, it’s not good for us long term. Playing four games in five nights, I’m not going to overuse those two. But at the same time, other guys need to prove they’re ready to play and willing to do the tough things that will help us win hockey games.” Notes: The Ice went without D Troy Murray (neck/throat), LW

Roman Dymacek (lower body), RW Jaedon Descheneau (shoulder), RW Austin Gray (illness) and C Dylan Stewart (concussion) Tuesday night… C Reed Morison (1998) made his WHL debut for the Ice Tuesday, but as special teams took over, saw less and less ice time. “He has good size and I’d like to see a little more engaged physically,” Pierce said of Morison. “There are some nerves there and an uncomfortable situation not knowing everything that’s going on, so hopefully as the trip goes on we’ll get to use him some more and see some more.”

Former Ice winger Jon Martin signs NHL deal Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Ice forward River Beattie (#25) sets up a screen in front of Tigers goaltender Nick Schneider earlier this season. Beattie returned to the lineup Tuesday night after missing two games due to illness, while Schneider made 19 saves to guide Medicine Hat to a 3-0 victory.

Former Kootenay Ice forward Jon Martin has reportedly signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the NHL’s San Jose Sharks. Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reported the deal via Twitter Tuesday. According to Lavoie, Martin’s two-way deal with the Sharks is worth an annual average value of $705,000 at the NHL level with a $280,000 signing bonus. Neither the Sharks or Swift Current Broncos, Martin’s Western Hock-

ey League club, have confirmed the signing as of print deadline Tuesday night.

Jon Martin A 6-foot-1, 212pound native of Winnipeg, Martin spent 250 games with the Ice before being dealt to the

Broncos in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft Oct. 5.

In his overage season, Martin was caught in a 20-year-old logjam in Cranbrook. Since landing in Swift Current, the former seventh-round WHL Bantam Draft selection (135th overall,

2010) has put up career numbers after being named Broncos captain. In 61 games this season, Martin has registered 36 goals and 66 points. Prior to the 2015-16 campaign, the bruising winger amassed 32 goals and 68 points in 246 games. The Sharks weren’t the first team to have eyes on Martin. For the past two seasons, Martin attended the NHL Young Stars Tournament in Penticton, B.C., on invite with the Vancouver Canucks.

Dynamiters and Thunder Cats set second-round schedule Game 1 of Eddie Mountain Division final goes Saturday at Kimberley Civic Centre

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

With a 4-2 victory in Game 5 of the Eddie Mountain Division semifinal, the Kimberley Dynamiters grounded the Fernie Ghostriders and advanced to the second round of the KIJHL post-season Monday night. Tuesday afternoon, the schedule for Dynamiters Eddie Mountain Division final against the Creston Valley Thunder Cats was etched in stone, with Game 1 slated for Saturday, March 5 (7 p.m.) at the Kimberley Civic Centre. “We’re happy we took the series [against Fernie] as soon as we did,” said Dynamiters forward Trevor Van Steinburg, following Monday’s Game 5 triumph. “We would’ve been happier in four games, but we

definitely need to take this time to think about what we need to work on and recover. “We should be trying to treat [the series with Creston] just like any other…We need to come out just as hard, we need to play the same game.” The Thunder Cats finished the regular season second in the Eddie Mountain Division before sweeping the thirdplace Columbia Valley Rockies in four games earlier this week to advance to the division final. After the series opens March 5, the two teams will play Game 2 on Sunday, March 6 (7 p.m.) at the Kimberley Civic Centre, before the festivities shift to Creston for Games 3 and 4. If necessary, Games 5 and 7 will be played at the Kimberley Civic Centre on March 11 and

March 13, respectively. Around the KIJHL: In the Kootenay Conference, the Beaver Valley Nitehawks eliminated the Nelson Leafs in four games… The third-place Grand Forks Border Bruins lead the second-place Castlegar Rebels 3-2 in their best-of-seven division semifinal, with Game 6 slated for Tues., March 1 (results unavailable by print deadline)… In the Okanagan/ Shuswap Conference, the Osoyoos Coyotes swept the North Okanagan Knights and the 100 Mile House Wranglers did the same to the Revelstoke Grizzlies… The Chase Heat eliminated the Kamloops Storm 4-1 and the Summerland Steam lead the Kelowna Chiefs 3-2 with Game 6 slated for Tues., March 1 (results unavailable by print deadline)…

Kimberley Dynamiters coach Jerry Bancks said Sawyer Hunt (#22) was perhaps his team’s best forward in a first-round series victory over the Fernie Ghostriders. Hunt and the Nitros skated past defenceman Kevin Pierce (#3) and the Ghostriders in five games. Next up, the Dynamiters face the Creston Valley Thunder Cats in the Eddie Mountain Division final, which gets underway Saturday at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Jays open spring with victory over Phillies CANADIAN PRESS

CLEARWATER, Fla. Marcus Stroman allowed two runs over two innings and second baseman Darwin Barney drove in five runs as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3 on Tuesday in the first spring training game for both teams. Stroman (1-0) threw 33 pitches (23 strikes) and struck out the first batter he faced, Peter Bourjos.

Barney hit a bases-loaded double off Phillies starter Severino Gonzalez to score two runs in the first inning. He tagged Gregory Infante (0-1) for a double in the third and drove in the fifth run with a single in the fifth. Carlos Ruiz drove in two runs for Philadelphia with a single off Stroman in the second. Former Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia, started the

game at DH for the Phillies and hit a solo home run off Toronto’s Drew Hutchison in the fourth. That was the only hit allowed by Hutchison, who went two innings. After a perfect first, Stroman ran into trouble in the second, allowing three straight twoout singles before getting a groundout to end the frame. He was also charged with a throwing error in the second.

Mariners sign Cuban outfielder Heredia ASSOCIATED PRESS

PEORIA, Ariz. - The Seattle Mariners have finalized a major league contract with Cuban outfielder Guillermo Heredia. Heredia has not played competitive

baseball since 2014 and defected from Cuba last year. Seattle said he hit .285 with 23 homers and 121 RBIs over 374 games during six seasons with Matanzas. Heredia was at the Mariners’ training camp Tuesday, awaiting com-

pletion of his deal. Seattle placed catcher Jesus Sucre on the 60day disabled list. He had surgery Jan. 26 to repair damage in his right ankle, a week after fracturing his right fibula during winter ball in Venezuela.

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman has agreed to accept a 30-game suspension under Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy, a penalty stemming from an inci-

dent with his girlfriend last October. Under the discipline announced Tuesday, Chapman will serve the penalty from the start of the season in April. He will lose 30 days of pay and 30 days of major league service, which will allow him to be-

come a free agent after this season. Chapman says in a statement, “I did not in any way harm my girlfriend that evening.” He adds that, “I should have exercised better judgment with respect to certain actions, and for that I am sorry.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be willing to take a risk and break past a restriction. A nurturing associate or someone you find to be quite soothing will make a big difference in how you feel. This person’s nurturing translates into you feeling supported. Tonight: Break out of your normal patterns. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Relating to individuals and understanding their reactions could make all the difference. With more insight, you might not be so reactive. Your ingenuity will define your successes or your failures. Listen to a respected friend’s feedback. Tonight: Accept an invitation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others seek you out. On one level, you might be overwhelmed, but on another level, you might be flattered. You are coming from a place of security, and you can handle the unexpected. A friend could prove to be too much of a distraction. Tonight: Decide who, where and when.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You know what you want to accomplish, and you have every intention of doing just that. An older relative or friend could send you a mixed message. Your determination could be tested. A close associate or friend will come through for you. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might feel as if you are on cruise control until someone throws you a curveball. You will have to put out fire after another. You have the energy and the wherewithal to handle any problem. Defer to others, if need be. Tonight: Once more, you’ll show off your stuff. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The unexpected occurs when dealing with a partner. This person will be there for you, but he or she tends to be high energy. You can handle it, though.

you will learn more information as a result. You might be jolted by some of what you hear. In fact, integrating this information might be difficult for you, as you can see the situation only from your own perspective. Tonight: Return calls first. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can get past a problem if you relax and get past a financial hassle. Your nerves could be frayed by recent events, which could continue. What you are learning is to expect the unexpected. You also are seeing that you can handle nearly anything. Tonight: Trust yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will get past a problem quickly because you are resourceful and open to new ideas. No matter which way you turn, you’ll see a situation differently. Tap into your ingenuity to decide which way to go. You will gain from making the correct choice. Tonight: In the limelight. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Stay anchored, knowing that you have had enough change on the homefront. Though you

might not be able to stop someone from being who he or she is, you can choose not to react in a negative way. In the long run, this attitude will cause a positive change. Tonight: At home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out to someone you care about. You might be stunned by this person’s reaction, but you already know how unpredictable he or she can be. Know that more is coming down the pike toward you. A friend will support you in what you want. Tonight: Zero in on what you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be pushing too hard to get noticed. You could be in a position where you need to accept more of what is happening around you. You will be able to turn the situation around with a close friend or loved one’s help. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Dear Annie: One of my wife’s siblings insists that everyone remove their shoes upon entering her home. This makes me feel like I am welcome only so long as I don’t get their precious house dirty. My wife and I were recently invited to her sister’s house for a family party. When I didn’t take off my perfectly clean shoes, she looked me in the eye and told me to remove my shoes or not to bother coming in. She said, “We are zero tolerance on that.” I turned and left without saying a word. Last week, we went to another party at a different sister’s home. She met us at the door with a big smile. “Keep your shoes on if you want, but wipe your feet if they are dirty.” We had a good time. I felt welcomed. I often take my shoes off at people’s houses. We live in a snowy climate and I don’t want to track snow or dirt into their homes. But shouldn’t it be my decision to remove my shoes? When people put conditions on coming in, doesn’t that give me a choice to accept the conditions or not? My side of the family would never do this. We have been married for 40 years and I love my wife’s family, but this drives me crazy. Please advise on proper etiquette. -- Clean Shoes In Wisconsin Dear Wisconsin: We think that when you are a guest in someone’s home, you should make an effort to follow their rules. It isn’t intended to make you feel unwelcome. No matter how clean your shoes may seem, they are still tracking in detritus from the outdoors. However, we also believe that hosts who ask you to remove your shoes have an obligation to provide slippers of some kind so you aren’t walking around barefoot or with holes in your socks. Perhaps you could work something out with your sister-inlaw so that neither of you feels that the other is being rude. Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our early 30s and come from middleclass families. We both work extremely hard. We are getting ready to build our second home and are going to complete the transaction in cash. When people ask what kind of mortgage rate we have or which bank we are using, what’s the best way to respond? We don’t want others to be jealous or think twice about hiring our business for fear that we may charge too much. -- Hardworking in the Midwest Dear Midwest: You do not need to give out this information. If someone actually has the gall to ask, you have a few options: You can tell them a version of the truth: “We’ve been saving for a long time so we can pay in cash. It’s taken forever.” Or misdirect: “Why do you want to know? Are you looking to buy a house? Where? Tell me all about it!” Or more evasively: “We’re working on that. Do you have some suggestions?” By turning the question around, they will feel important and wise, and will stop focusing on things that are none of their business.

Our dear mother Mary Reekie passed away suddenly at home at the age of 91. She was born in Flaibano, Italy. Mom lived each day to the fullest and was an inspiration to us all. She loved to travel, play bridge, golf, swim, knit, crochet, read and generously kept us supplied with her baked goodies. She was an active volunteer in many organizations and always enjoyed time with her many special friends. Her favourite times were at family gatherings where she took particular interest in her grandchildren and great grandchildren. We will all remember her with joy, the way she would want us to.

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. 2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand

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.

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 AOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to find our about new products,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to receive information about companies,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.â&#x20AC;? 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. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns. 9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium. SOURCE: Newspaper Association of America

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Astronaut Scott Kelly closed the door Tuesday to an unprecedented year in space for NASA, flying back to the planet and loved ones he left behind last March. Kelly and his roommate for the past 340 days, Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko, check out of the International Space Station on Tuesday night, U.S. time. By the time their capsule lands in Kazakhstan on Wednesday, the pair will have travelled 144 million miles through space, circled the world 5,440 times and experienced 10,880 orbital sunrises and sunsets. Kelly photographed the first five sunrises of his waking day Tuesday, posting the pictures on Twitter, before quipping, “I gotta go!” His final tweet from orbit came several hours later: “The journey isn’t over.

#Earth!” Piloting the Soyuz capsule home for Kelly, 52, and Kornienko, 55, will be the much fresher and decade younger cosmonaut Sergey Volkov, whose space station stint lasted the typical six months. Kelly was the first one into the docked Soyuz capsule after a round of hugs and handshakes with the three crewmen staying behind. Kornienko reached out and patted the inside of the station before the hatches swung shut. The two yearlong spacemen will undergo a series of medical tests following touchdown. Before committing to even longer Mars missions, NASA wants to know the limits of the human body for a year, minus gravity. As he relinquished command of the space station Monday, Kelly noted that he and Kornienko “have been up here for a really, really

long time” and have been jokingly telling one another, “We did it!” and “We made it!” “A year now seems longer than I thought it would be,” Kelly confided a couple weeks ago. Not quite a year - 340 days to be precise, based on the Russian launch and landing schedule. But still record-smashing for NASA. Kelly’s closest U.S. contender trails him by 125 days. Russia continues to rule, however, when it comes to long-duration spaceflight. The world record of 438 days was set by a Russian doctor during the mid-1990s. The choice of the pioneering Kelly turned out to be a bonanza. His identical twin, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, offered himself up as a medical guinea pig so researchers could study the differences between the genetic doubles, one in space and the other on the ground.
