Scientists discover black hole so big it contradicts growth theory
A man has been arrested fol-
lowing an attempted break and
enter at a North Shore apart-
ment Wednesday morning.
RCMP responded to a report of
someone breaking into an apart-
ment on Carson Crescent just
before 7 a.m. Feb. 25.
No one gained entry to any of
the buildings in the complex,
but a 20-year-old male was lo-
cated nearby and arrested, ac-
cording to Cpl. Cheryl Bush.
Police continue to investigate
the incident.

Scientists say they have discov-
ered a black hole so big that it
challenges the theory about how
they grow.
This black hole was formed
about 900 million years after the
Big Bang, according to the scien-
tists.
But with measurements indicat-
ing it’s 12 billion times the size
of the Sun, the black hole chal-
lenges a widely accepted hypoth-
esis of growth rates.
“Based on previous research,
this is the largest black hole
found for that period of time,”
said Dr Fuyan Bian, Research
School of Astronomy and Astro-
physics, Australian National Uni-
versity (ANU).
The creation of supermassive
black holes remains an open top-
ic of research. However, many
scientists have long believed the
growth rate of black holes was
limited.
Black holes grow, scientifi c the-
ory suggests, as they absorb mass.
However, as mass is absorbed, it
will be heated creating radiation
pressure, which pushes the mass
away from the black hole.
“Current theory is for a limit to
how fast a black hole can grow,
but this black hole is too large
for that theory,” said Bian. “Ba-
sically, you have two forces bal-
anced together which sets up a
limit for growth, which is much smaller than what
we found.”
The black hole was discovered a team of global
scientists led by Xue-Bing Wu at Peking Univer-
sity, China, as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey,
which provided imagery data of 35 percent of the
northern hemisphere sky.
The ANU is leading a comparable project, known
as SkyMapper, to carry out observations of the
Southern Hemisphere sky.
Bian expects more black holes to be observed as
the project advances.

Acclaimed Canadian author
Joseph Boyden knows the art of
storytelling, and what makes a
captivating read. The award win-
ning author of Three Day Road,
Through Black Spruce, and The
Orenda has recommended that
book lovers read Kamloops’ own
Richard Wagamese’s Indian
Horse this year.
Boyden recommended the nov-
el to individuals and book clubs
such as the Amnesty Internation-
al Book Club.
Indian Horse tells the story of
Saul Indian Horse, as he looks
back on his life as a northern
Ojibway, with all its joys and
sorrows.
Wagamese traces the decline
of a culture and a cultural way
with compassion and insight.
For Saul, taken forcibly from his
family when he’s sent to a resi-
dential school, salvation comes
for a while through his incredible
gifts as a hockey player.

Top Canadian novelist recommends compelling read for 2015
HoroscopesMarch 1 - March 8, 2015
There can be a lot of surprises this week & this’ll likely involve others. Be mindful of optimistically jumping into situations with-out a lot of thought. What you won’t see are the details attached that you may not be interested in being bothered with for too long. Greater pressure can be applied to you than expected.
Whatever you want to get organised will have strange ways of working themselves out, including having to deal with the past in some way. Any previous hold-ups can suddenly disappear. There’s much to gain pleasure from but this is in more of a quiet way, which can include escaping from normal routine for a while.
Someone may be concerned that you’re trying to make future plans without having gathered enough information. A third par-ty may help to sort out any missing information or differences. You’ve likely thought about these things from Jan., & now you’ll feel it’s time to get something established.
You can have more information to deal with than you anticipated. Don’t commit yourself to anything fi nancially on the spur of the moment as you may not like the ongoing commitment later. Be prepared to withstand a high degree of selfi shness from someone else. You may need to point out your own future impressions.
Something can become clear, associated with someone else after having gone through previous stages of one way, then another. It may make you realise you need to accept the differences between you, without allowing it to interfere in any way with what you want to develop for yourself. A future vision can be shared.
Focus on whatever you’d like to see fulfi lled for you personally. You may feel rather alone when it comes to interest in your mat-ters as others can be highly distracted with their own concerns or what they want you to do to make their life easier.
Activity with others continues to be either busy or intense. In some ways it can feel it’s overtaking the things you may want to do for yourself. This is unlikely to follow a smooth path – there can be upheavals & surprises along the way. There’s more build-ing up than can be seen right now. Take a sit-&-wait attitude.
You may feel as though you can’t win whichever way you go at the moment. There’s some sort of togetherness between yourself & others but it’s not following normal mode. There’s something unpredictable about it. They want to exert the power but are weak-ened in some way. Something will reach a head.
You may decide the way something worked in the past may be implemented with success in the future. You’re highly creative right now & this can give you a sense that almost anything may be established. In a way it can but don’t overlook the personal com-mitment this will require of you – it won’t be escaped.
Becoming settled of mind at last in situations where you’re deal-ing with somebody else’s expectations can feel liberating. You’ll seek a balanced solution in all things without worrying about your own position being threatened. It may make you realise you’ve gained greater personal strength in dealing with changes.
Something can arise with somebody else this week that can make you realise you’ve become more secure of mind about where you stand & what’s acceptable. This doesn’t have to cause any confl ict but will rather allow you to express your own ideas, however out of the ordinary they may be. You’re naturally logical.
If you’re waiting for a reaction from somebody else, you should get it this week. It’s important to stand fi rm when it comes to your own priorities. The only issue that needs to be dealt with may be fi nances in some way. If there’s any situation you want to change here be sure you don’t overlook important small details in haste.

Husbands
Life is hard. Parenting is hard.
There are some days that I want
to continually smack my head
against the wall. There are days
when I want to pull out my hair.
And there are days that I want to
lock myself in my bedroom with
a pint of ice cream and gummy
bears and shut the world away.
It’s really hard to do this when
you have kids that rely on you
to be there, providing for them,
setting a good example for them
– and well, being sane for them.
It has been rough these last
four months. My husband is out
of town at school. He is there
for the emotional support that I
need. But, sometimes I need the
physical support. I physically
need him there, in our home, to
keep me from bashing my head
against the wall, helping with the
little things that the kids need,
and letting me lock myself in my
bedroom with my movies, gum-
my bears, licorice, and ice cream.
For all those little things that my
husband does – being “Daddy”
to our children, my rock, and my
friend – I need him home now. I
need the kids to have their home-
work done when I get home from
work. I need the kids to be set-
tled, and happy.
These days, those “happy days”
once I get home from work, are
few and far between. The kids
are tired, hungry and cranky. I am
tired, hungry, and cranky. This
does not mix well. I run around
the house barking orders (the
same orders EVERY day) for
them to empty their backpacks,
do their homework, wash up and
get ready for dinner, and get their
pyjamas on. I need that 30 min-
utes of frantic life to be done be-
fore I get home. I need a wife . . .
or a husband!
I have had a lot of support from
my friends and family. It has
been overwhelming the emo-
tional and physical support I get
from them as they help out with
the kids. But, it’s not the same as
the calming force of Daddy.
Luckily, there is a bright light
at the end of the tunnel. My
wonderful, loving, and support-
ive husband comes home in two
weeks! Let’s be appreciative for
the husbands in our lives.

The Kamloops Storm lead
their fi rst-round playoff series
three games to one against the
Sicamous Eagles in KIJHL Birks
division action.
In game one on Feb. 20 at the
Sports Centre, the Storm shut
out the Eagles 3-0 with a pair of
goals from Addison Bazian and
one from Mitch Friesen. Jacob
Mullen stopped all 26 shots he
faced in the shut-out win. The
Storm outshot the Eagles 33-26.
The Storm took a 2-0 lead in the
series the following night handily
out-shooting the Eagles 62-24 on
the way to a 5-1 victory. The Ea-
gles opened the scoring halfway
through the fi rst period with a
power play goal while Ryan Keis
was off for high-sticking to take a
1-0 lead after 20.
Then the Storm took over, scor-
ing three unanswered goals by
Alex Winters, Bobby Kashuba,
and Felix Larouche, in 4:20 in
the fi rst half of the second frame
to take a 3-1 lead after 40. Fri-
esen and Brayden Dale added
extra insurance markers in the
third period to give the Storm the
decisive 5-1 win, and a 2-0 lead
in the series.
There were only three penalties
handed out in the entire game –
one to Kamloops and two to Si-
camous. Mullen stopped 23 of 24
shots he faced in the win.
The two teams travelled to Si-
camous Feb. 23 for game 3. It
was a very close game as it took
double overtime for the Eagles to
meek out a 3-2 win as they out-
shot the Storm 39-24.
The game didn’t see any scoring
until 7:01 into the third period
when the Eagles scored a pair of
goals 2:31 apart. It looked like
the home team would take a 2-0
win but Kyle Lohmann and La-
rouche scored 21 seconds apart
with two minutes remaining to
send the game into overtime.
It was an evenly matched period
and a half over OT as the two
teams traded shots on goal until,
with 4:21 remaining in the sec-
ond OT period, the Eagles man-
aged to get a shot past Mullen to
take the 3-2 OT win.
It was another almost fl awless
night for both teams as refs only
handed out three penalties, one
for a minor scuffl e that sent Marc
Dumont and Nathan Plessis to
the penalty box for roughing mi-
nors halfway through the third
period. The other penalty went to
Winters for interference halfway
through the middle frame.
The following night, Feb. 24,
the two teams went into overtime
once again to get a decision, but
this time it was the Storm that
came away victors narrowly de-
feating the Eagles 4-3 in OT.
After another scoreless fi rst pe-
riod, the Eagles opened the scor-
ing 2:37 into the second frame.
Keaton Gordon ties the score
7:51 into the period with a short-
handed goal while Dexter Rob-
inson was off for slashing. The
Eagles scored twice in 2:17 less
than two minutes later to take a
3-1 lead after 40.
Larouche got the Storm to with-
in one goal with 7:26 left on the
clock. Then Brett Watkinson tied
the game with 2:42 remaining to
send the game into OT.
Addison Bazian scored an unas-
sisted goal with 8:323 remaining
in OT to give Kamloops the 4-3
win. The game saw Kamloops re-
ceive all three penalties doled out
in the game.
The Storm now take a 3-1 se-
ries lead as the best-of-seven se-
ries comes back to Kamloops for
game 5 tonight, Thurs. Feb. 26.
The puck drops at 7 p.m. Should
additional games be required,
game 6 will be in Sicamous Fri.
Feb. 27 (game time is 9 p.m.),
and game 7 will be back in Kam-
loops Sat. Feb. 28, when the puck
will drop at 7 p.m.
The winner of this series will
go on to play the winner of the
Chase Heat-100 Mile House
Wranglers series. The series is
tied 2-2.
Storm take 3-1 series lead over Eagles

The Kamloops Blazers come-
back fell short in a 4-3 loss to the
Moose Jaw Warriors last Friday
night.
The Blazers started the game
strong, but a penalty ended the
momentum.
With Collin Shirley in the pen-
alty box, the Warriors opened the
scoring as Brayden Point got a
puck off the end boards and put it
over goaltender Connor Ingram’s
pad to make it 1-0 for the War-
riors.
Point, who won a Gold Medal
with Canada’s World Junior team
in January, made it 2-0 on an indi-
vidual effort. He rushed the puck
up ice and put a quick and decep-
tive shot over the pad of Ingram.
The Blazers didn’t have a lot go-
ing for them as the period carried
on and trailed 2-0.
The momentum continued to be
on the Warriors’ side through the
fi rst nine minutes of the period
as the Blazers took four straight
penalties and spent a ton of time
on the penalty kill.
The Warriors made the Blazers
pay nine minutes into the period
as Brett Howden set up Jack
Rodewald for an open net and a
3-0 Warriors lead.
Following the goal, the Blaz-
ers showed some desperation in
their game. Cole Ully scored 14
seconds after the Warriors made
it 3-0 as he put a puck at the net
and it ended up behind goaltender
Zach Sawchenko to make it 3-1.
The Blazers followed Ully’s
goal up with another one only
22 seconds later. Joel Hamilton,
who was arguably the Blazers
hardest working player, took a
puck to the net and scored on his
own rebound to make it 3-2 9:36
into the second period.
Point showed why he is one of
the best players in the WHL with
a terrifi c individual effort for his
third goal of the night to make it
4-2. He made a skilled move and
dodged a Blazers defender before
faking a shot and sliding it into
an open net.
The Warriors took a 4-2 lead
into the fi nal frame.
The Blazers didn’t have much of
a push until late in the game. Matt
Needham had an open net with
fi ve minutes left on a rebound, but
fi red the puck over the net.
On the power play late in the
game, Ully got a shot to the net
and Hamilton tipped it home for
his second goal of the game to
make it a 4-3 game with 23 sec-
onds to play.
The Blazers pushed and had two
chances that slid by the net wide
in the fi nal few seconds as they
lost 4-3 to the Warriors.
The Warriors were 2-for-6 on
the power play, while the Blazers
fi nished 1-for-4.
Sawchenko was terrifi c for the
Warriors as he made 31 saves. In-
gram stopped 25 of 29 shots.
The Blazers put in a great effort,
but were stonewalled by goalten-
der Payton Lee as he made 33
saves to help the Vancouver Gi-
ants to a 1-0 win.
The Giants had the early jump
and outshot the Blazers in the
fi rst part of the fi rst period. In-
gram was sharp on the night for
the Blazers.
As the period carried on, the
Blazers got better and had plenty
of offensive zone time in a score-
less fi rst period.
The Giants held a 13-10 advan-
tage on the shot clock after the
fi rst frame.
The Giants opened the scoring
4:44 into the second period on a
fortunate bounce.
Dmitry Osipov dumped a puck
into the Blazers zone. The puck
hit the end boards and came to-
wards the front of the net. As In-
gram went to cover the puck, it
hopped over his stick to Dakota
Odgers who put it into an open
net for a 1-0 lead.
Ully, who was clearly a target
of the Giants all night, took his
frustration out in a second period
spirited tilt with Thomas Foster.
The shot clock showed a 19-13
advantage for the Giants midway
through the game, but the Blaz-
ers picked up the pace and car-
ried the play over the second half
of the game.
They fi red the next six shots on
goal in the second period as Lee
made a great save on Joel Ham-
ilton to keep it 1-0 for the Giants
through two periods.
Shots were 19-19 at the end of
the second period.
The Blazers showed desperation
in the third period as they were
determined to tie the game up.
Lee was outstanding for the
Giants in the fi nal frame as the
Blazers outshot the Giants 14-3
in the third period.
Lee’s best save came off the
stick of Marc McNulty. McNulty
had an open net on a rebound, but
Lee dove and got his glove on the
puck to keep the Blazers off the
score sheet.
The Blazers pressured the Gi-
ants all period, but couldn’t score
in a 1-0 loss to the Giants.
The Blazers outshot the Giants
33-22 in the game. The Giants
were 0-for-1 on the power play,
while the Blazers did not get a
power play.
The Blazers now look forward
to four straight games on home
ice as they host the Victoria Roy-
als Fri. Feb. 27, and the Giants
Sat. Feb. 28. The puck drops at 7
p.m. both nights.

The Canadian dollar continued to advance Wednesday amid in-
creasing doubt that the Bank of Canada is set to deliver another
interest rate cut.
The loonie gained 0.39 of a U.S. cent to 80.42 cents.
The loonie had advanced half of a U.S. cent on Tuesday follow-
ing remarks from Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz that
were interpreted as lessening chances of the bank following up
a quarter point rate cut in January with another decrease as soon
as next week.
Poloz said last month’s surprise rate cut gives the Bank of
Canada time to fi gure out how best to steer the country back to-
ward stability as a recent collapse in oil prices ripples across the
economy. He added that the rate cut in January, which reduced
the central bank’s overnight rate to 0.75 per cent, has given pol-
icy-makers more confi dence the economy should be back on a
more sound footing by the end of next year, rather than some
time in 2017.
Traders also monitored a second day of congressional testi-
mony from U.S. Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen. She
told the Senate fi nance committee on Tuesday that the U.S. cen-
tral bank will continue to be patient in deciding when to hike
interest rates. And she added that before rates go up, the central
bank would drop this assurance. There has been much specula-
tion the Fed could move on raising rates as early as June.
Oil prices ticked 43 cents higher to US$49.71 a barrel as the
U.S. The Department of Energy says U.S. crude inventories rose
8.4 million barrels last week, about double the amount expected.
Metals were mixed with April gold up $7.80 to US$1,205.10
while March copper was unchanged at US$2.65. – CP
