Investigating a murder is not what you see on TV

CPL. ChriS NE WELFor the Bulletin

With the recent homicide in Kimberley, I thought it would be a good opportunity to give you an idea of what takes place. TV is nowhere near reality.

On Friday afternoon (March 8) RCMP

received a phone call that caused them to check the house in Marysville. Once inside they found a deceased male, which they deemed suspicious.

The officers had medical personnel con-firm he was deceased.

The officers backed out of the house and began initiating additional resources. The house became a crime scene; it was secured and for the next four days guarded 24 hours a day by a police officer. Everybody who had entered the house has to make very thor-

ough notes about what they observed, their entry and egress along with anything they may have disturbed. This is very important.

The major crime team was called in; they arrived late Friday night.

At 8 a.m. on Saturday morning a briefing was held; over 20 officers participated. This is when the investigation really picks up speed. Everyone who had been involved in the investigation to this point explained what he or she has done. This is all docu-mented and as a result a number of tasks are

identified. The investigation began with ap-proximately twelve full time investigators. Two of those members have the sole job of correlating information as it was received. They are the file coordinators. A primary in-vestigator is assigned; he/she is an experi-enced member of the team who leads the investigation, monitoring the progress, as-signing tasks and dealing with issues that arise.

Kimberley RCMP have been busy in recent days dealing with several inci-dents, including two that occurred last Thursday.

One has already result-ed in an arrest.

The first was a break in at the Sullivan Pub Beer and Wine Store. Cpl. Chris Newel of the Kimberley RCMP says that at bout 1:30 a.m. an unknown person or persons smashed the win-dow of the store and reached in to take approxi-mately 20 bottles of wine.

“Given the amount sto-len, police believed a vehi-cle maybe involved,” Newel said.

more than 2,600 spectators were charmed by James Hatala’s proposal of marriage to meghan Dunlop, Friday evening at Western Financial Place. meghan had been led to believe she was taking part in the “Shoot to Win” competition during the first intermission of the Calgary Hitmen/Kootenay Ice game. After both she and James missed all their shots at the net from centre ice (in his case, rather perfunctorily attempted), Game host and mC rob Amsing (pictured above) advised meghan there was another bit of business to take care of. meghan turned around … and the crowd went wild.

Townsman sTaffIf you’ve been considering

nominating a band or DJ for the Kootenay Music Awards, now is the time to do it.

All artists who live in the Kootenays are eligible to enter a song in one of the 10 award categories that recognize the range of musical talent coming out of the Kootenays. There’s a category for everything from best DJ to best roots and blues band.

More than 70 songs have al-ready been submitted online at kootenaymusicawards.com and KMA president Chad Han-sen hopes to see many more roll in before nominations close next Friday (March 29).

“If you’re an artist yourself or even just a fan of a local band, I’d encourage you to go to the website and submit an MP3. Let people hear it, you never know what could hap-pen,” Hansen said.

Fans can check out the music that’s been submitted so far by clicking the “nominate” tab at the top of the page, then going to “view entries.”

Hansen has listened to many of the submissions and is impressed by the variety.

“There’s some really eclec-tic, interesting music that’s been posted up there,” Hansen said.

After nominations close, the

panel of five industry judges will shortlist their favourites for public voting. The judges in-clude music festival producers Christine Hunter from Sham-bhala and Lea Belcourt from Starbelly Jam; Nelson live music venue managers Ryan Martin from Spiritbar and Paul Hinrichs from The Royal; and Kootenay Co-op Radio pro-

gram manager Jay Hannley.“These are great people to

get your music into the ear of,” Hansen said.

So far the nomination page is dominated by Nelson-based artists. But Hansen is encourag-ing bands from every corner of the Kootenays to get their music in. Bands who entered last year are also welcome to enter again.

Shane Johnsen, guitarist for The Automation — winner of Best New Band in last year’s KMAs — said he saw a surge in new listens on the band’s Soundcloud page during the public voting period.

“We had about 2,000 unique listens, which is huge boost for a band just starting out,” Johnsen said. “We recorded everything ourselves, without a producer, so we were really proud to be recognized last year.”

The Automation has sub-mitted an early release off their next album for this year’s awards and will be playing at the awards gala event, along with last year’s Best Artist win-ner Shred Kelly, on May 10 at Spiritbar in Nelson.

To enter a song in the Koote-nay Music Awards, go to koote-naymusicawards.com.

The Kootenay Music Awards are presented by Nelson Brew-ing Company and Black Press. Platinum sponsors include Kootenay Co-op Radio, Van-tage Point, Nelson and District Credit Union, AM Ford, Selkirk College.

Other sponsors are Wapiti Music Festival, Kootenay Sav-ings Credit Union, Bee Kissed Body Piercing, Nelson Koote-nay Lake Tourism, Chatterson Drive, Our Glass, Ric’s Lounge and Grill, Tribute Boardshop and Whitewater Ski Report.

“My old car had a cassette deck, so I was always on the hunt for tapes,” remarks Ed-monton’s singer-songwriter Jake Ian.

“You can buy tapes for a dime at some thrift stores, and I eventually built up an awe-some tape collection. It was all old music, since nobody puts out tapes anymore. Some-times I only had one or two tapes in the car for a six-hour drive, so I’d listen to them over and over. It’s funny how you can fall in love with a certain album after you listen to it hundreds of times. I was most-ly on the search for old coun-try tapes.”

Jake has been part of the Edmonton music scene for al-most 15 years, and has seen trends come and go.

“There are lots of great folk artists and singer-songwriters there; Joe Nolan, Scott Cook — sometimes small music com-munities can be very cliquey; Edmonton’s no different. Terri-ble artists can rise to the top, great artists remain under-ap-preciated, but that’s the same anywhere. It’s the nature of the business.

“Edmonton’s got lots of good venues, Alberta’s got an incredible amount of summer

festivals, so there’s never a shortage of gigs. I try to limit my Edmonton performances to one every three or four months, though — after a while, even Neil Young wouldn’t be able to draw a crowd if he played the same town every week. That’s why I like to go on the road.”

Jake Ian’s current album “Sad & Lonely Man” has gath-ered much acclaim since its March 2012 release, receiving steady campus-radio airplay nationwide. A more boot-stomping affair than his

usual repertoire, the album is aimed at rowdy bar crowds, which Jake plays to with his band, the Haymakers.

In between touring stints, Jake is busy recording his next album, which will include the musical efforts of Corb Lund’s lead guitarist Grant Siemens and Deep Dark Woods key-boardist Geoff Hilhorst.

“I love travelling and play-ing music,” Jake says. “For six months I’ve been touring mainly solo. I’m a very quiet and private person. I enjoy my alone time. Touring gives me a

lot of that. It does get lonely, though. You need thick skin to tour. Sometimes you drive eight hours to play a dive for four people who couldn’t care less. That can be hard on the ego. Then you can have the most amazing crowd that you’d imagine, somewhere you’d least expect it. People hear ‘touring’ and they assume it’s a Motley Crue lifestyle; girls, drugs, non-stop parties... when that’s the furthest thing from what it is. You can’t drive all day after staying up all night. Touring’s hard work!”

Jake describes what to ex-pect at his show: “My songs are very story-oriented. Some are serious, some are funny and downright ridiculous. I sprin-kle the sets with plenty of har-monica solos, jokes and stories. I’ve never played the East Koo-tenay before, so I’m looking forward to it. I did play Creston last summer at the Snoring Sasquatch; a fabulous show … I’m pretty sure the building’s haunted.”

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

On March 12, 55 Grade 12 students pre-sented plans for post-Selkirk to more than 30 school and community members and made Selkirk proud.

As part of BC’s grad-uation requirements, grade 12 students are required to complete a body of work that has them examine their ac-ademic and career plans for post high school as well as create a plan for maintaining a healthy lifestyle (physically, mentally and emotionally) and a financial plan that will allow them to follow their dreams.

Students must also demonstrate connec-tion with community and reflect on their skills and strengths and how their apti-tudes will aid them as they move forward with their lives.

Their work culmi-nates in a panel pre-sentation where they sit with two adults and present their plans. Students are encour-aged to treat the pre-sentation as if it were a job interview: dressed appropriately, a Power Point or equivalent, eye-contact and poise. Students have 20 min-utes in which to pres-ent their work to their panel and then their audience has 10 min-utes in which to ask the student follow up

questions or other inter-view style questions – How do you deal with conflict? What role do you tend to play in a team?

Panels consisted of two people who volun-teered their time to help make the interview for the grads more authen-tic.

Among the volun-teers were SD6 Senior Management, School Trustees, teachers, Dis-trict Supervisors, PAC members, representa-tives from local busi-nesses and community members at large. Vol-unteers gave their time in increments of 30 min-utes with many people volunteering for two hours at a time. Some were even here for the whole day!

As many students had been preparing for their interview for months, they were un-derstandably nervous and anxious to “get it over with”!

Students showed up early for their appoint-ments (without being asked!) to ensure that their technology re-quirements were in order and waited pa-tiently in the ‘lobby’ of the library, sizing up their panel and devel-oping the best approach for their interview.

As both students and panel members rotated through the library throughout the day, ex-pressions of anxiety, re-lief, encouragement and pride radiated. Panel members commented on the exceptionality of

Selkirk students and felt that the experience was rewarding because they were able to see our stu-dents in a light that is

often only reserved for employers.

Selkirk Grads demonstrated that they are indeed ready and

prepared to leave Sel-kirk and transition into the next phase of their lives as successful and contributing members

of our communities. Well done and congrat-ulations on such an ex-ceptional showing.

City says no to water meters

Business person asks for

commercial water meters

C AROlyn gR [email protected]

Despite a request from one commercial property owner, the City of Kimberley is very un-likely to move to water meters, says Mayor Ron McRae.

Council received a visit from Stu Bain of the

Western Lodge this week. Mr. Bain objects to paying a water charge for each room in his hotel and says a meter would more accurately reflect actual water usage. He says that he currently is using the equivalent of 15 homes but is paying for what 40 homes would use.

“Stu did a brief pre-sentation,” said McRae. “He feels water meters should be available, par-ticularly in the commer-cial sector. However, we

are not going to go for water meters. We have enough on the go right now. It doesn’t make any sense given the cli-mate we operate in right now. Water meters are very expensive to imple-ment. In addition we still have to have a cer-tain amount of revenue to maintain the infra-structure. Even if con-sumption went down with meters, we would have to charge a certain rate to maintain the in-frastructure.”

From Page 1Whenever a build-

ing belongs to or is oc-cupied by another per-son especially if it’s the suspect, a search war-rant is required. Two officers began drafting a warrant. A number of other officers begin fol-lowing up on tips, con-ducting neighbour-hood inquiries, doing background checks, talking to potential witnesses or people who had contact prior to the incident.

The next of kin needs to be notified. In this case, two issues arose which made this difficult. Because offi-cers were only in the residence for a few minutes and not being familiar with the de-ceased we could not say positively it was him.

In addition we could not go into the house and check things such as address books and mail in an attempt

to locate a relative. Po-lice cannot start asking around for fear of the word getting back to the family before it’s been official. Ironically the next of kin was lo-cated though Internet searches.

Once the search war-rant is obtained, which was early Saturday af-ternoon, officers can enter the house. Only those required are al-lowed in. This is not TV where the crime scene is littered with investiga-tors, guys dusting for fingerprints and others taking pictures. This is limited to forensic ex-aminers and a scene of-ficer who assists. They conduct a very method-ical detailed examina-tion of the house. This took three days. Re-member the scene se-curity? That officer is still out front and he must maintain a log of everybody who enters and when they depart.

In the midst of this a

second scene was iden-tified. This meant get-ting another officer to guard that until an ex-amination could be conducted. Another search warrant is ob-tained

Follow-up carries on for the day; a second briefing is held at 8 p.m., Saturday night. Again each investigator goes over what they did. As a result more tasks are generated. Each time an investigator learns about another person or business that may have information, it becomes a task. An officer is as-signed to follow that up; the list grows at each

briefing.Digital recordings

were done with a large number of witnesses. Investigators are then tasked with drafting a summary of that inter-view. A witness is any-body who has informa-tion about the people involved or the incident. Some witnesses are in-terviewed two or three times. This is because during the course of in-terviewing somebody else, new information is gained that was not known during the first interview. Unlike TV a mere chat with a wit-ness is not sufficient.

As the night wore on, investigators began to call it a night. The first left around 10 p.m., the latest worked until 2 a.m. This does not in-clude scene security that continues on. The day for most stretched to well over 14 hours.

From Page 1Police reviewed

video surveillance from the pub along with neighbouring business-es, and that paid off.

By Friday night, an arrest had been made when the suspect re-turned to the store and was recognized by staff from the video review. Police were called and

the suspect was taken into custody.

“I guess going back to the scene of the crime was not a good idea,” Newel said.

Again last Thursday, at approximately 11:30 p.m., the Kimberley Fire Department and Kim-berley RCMP responded to a car fire on 307th in Marysville.

Once arriving on scene, the fire depart-ment quickly had the fire extinguished, but the vehicle was com-pletely destroyed.

Newel says the cause of the fire is undeter-mined at this time.

If you have any infor-mation about this fire, please contact Kimber-ley RCMP. 250 427-4811.

On Friday night, Kimberley RCMP con-ducted a road check on Highway 95A, surprising a number of people, Newel said.

“One driver is now

facing charges of Drive While Prohibited after he borrowed his friend’s truck to drive into town. In addition he got a vio-lation ticket for no driv-er’s license and drive contrary to restrictions. His license status was a result of a drinking and driving incident some time ago. Another driver got his marijuana seized.

“Two other drivers were caught after they decided to turn around just prior to the check. Yes, this draws attention to yourself. Not sure what would have hap-pened if they drove through the check, but it would have been no worse than what they got. One was a new driv-er with too many pas-sengers; the other re-ceived a 3-day driving prohibition as a result of a Warn on the road-side-screening device.”

According to the 2010 Canadi-an Health Measures Survey, 62% of Canadians have a dental plan, but many don’t realize that group plans aren’t designed to meet indi-vidual health needs. “Dental plans are a valuable component of ex-tended health benefits and are designed to offset the cost of d ental treatment,” says Dr. Bruce Ward, spokesperson for the Brit-ish Columbia Dental Association (BCDA). “Understanding how den-tal insurance plans work can help patients make informed choices in partnership with their dentist or certified specialist.”

Dentist’s responsibility Just like your physician, your

dentist or certified specialist is highly trained. Treatment rec-ommendations are based on your dental health needs, not dictated by your dental coverage. A dental plan is a contract between a third party (like your employer), and the insurance company. The proce-dures and percentages covered are determined by the contract, not your dentist.

Your dentist can help you

understand your coverage and assist you in getting pre- determinations for treatment.This will provide you with a good estimate of what will be covered by your plan, and what you will have to pay—before the treatment starts.

Coverage varies among dental plans

Your dental plan coverage is part of your benefits plan, not based on your (or your family’s) dental care needs. Every dental plan is different. Coverage varies based on what services are covered in the contract; percentage of fees covered for each service; and yearly maxi-mums. It is the plan purchaser, such as your union or employer, who determines what is covered when they purchase your plan – not your dentist.

Patient’s responsibility Dental office staff are not

experts on your plan. It is your responsibility to know your plan coverage, including any changes. Ask your benefits manager or

insurance provider for a plan booklet or information on your spe-cific coverage.

The co-payment (deductible)Regardless of the actual costs,

most dental plans cover be-tween 50% to 80% of the cost of dental care. Any portion of the price not covered by your plan must be paid by you, and is referred to as the co-payment (the same as the deductible on your car or home insurance). The claim form submitted to your insurance company is a contract. Your dentist or certified special-ist has an ethical and legal obliga-tion to collect the co-payment from you.

As a service to patients, some dental offices bill the insurance company directly for the covered portion of treatment. Dentists are not required to do this. The full cost of the procedure, includ-ing the co-payment (or deduct-ible) or the cost of any services not covered by the plan, must be collected from the patient at the time the treatment is provided.

How are dental costs determined?

The BCDA produces an annual suggested fee guide for dentists and certified specialists in BC. The majority of insurance plans base coverage percentages on this guide. Dentists and certi-fied specialists in Canada do not follow a fee schedule and set their prices to cover: lab costs and quality materials required for your procedure paid for directly by the dentist; salaries; rent; mandatory continuing education; equipment; and all the related costs in running their den-tal practice.

Dentists treat you, not your dental plan

For more information talk to your dentist or visit bcdental.org to review a list of frequently asked questions on dental plans.

A dental plan is an important benefit to support good dental health. Know your plan and discuss treatment options with your dentist to make an informed decision about your dental care needs.

•Know your dental plan and what’s covered before your dental ap-pointment to understand your portion of costs.

•Discuss all treatment opt ions with your dentist to make an informed decision based on your dental health

needs. Understand any health risks associated with delaying or refus-ing treatment.

•Pay the required co- payment. You expect your dentist or to be honest with you about the care you need, and so does the insurance

company.

•Plan for the future. Consider all your ex-tended health costs when planning for your retirement.

•Prevention is still the best treatment for ev-eryone in your family:

brush and floss daily; limit sugary drinks and snacks; don’t smoke; and have an examina-tion by a dentist at least once a year to diagnose problems before they become more complex and costly.

Be an active participant in your oral health care:

A 23-year-old man has been charged with arson and mischief after allegedly setting fire to a gar-den shed and slashing vehicle tires in Cranbrook on Thursday morning.

Around 6 a.m. on March 14, residents of the 1800 block of 6th Street South called police to report a prowler who was slashing vehi-cle tires in the neighbourhood.

When Cranbrook RCMP ar-rived on scene and entered a back yard, officers heard a “whoomp” sound and immediately saw a gar-den shed catch on fire, according to an RCMP statement.

Police evacuated the home and a neighbouring home, then used a garden hose to stem the blaze until firefighters arrived.

Cranbrook Fire and Emergen-cy Services said in a city statement that they attended the blaze and

used around 800 gallons of foam-based water to extinguish the fire.

It had spread from the storage shed to the eaves of the home and its south-facing exterior wall, but it did not affect the neighbouring house.

A 23-year-old man called po-lice to turn himself in an hour later. He was arrested and charged with arson and mischief. The man had a bail hearing in Cranbrook criminal court later the same day.

“Tempus fugit. Time flies? You can’t; they won’t go straight.”

Anonymous

“My theory on housework is, if the item doesn’t multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be.”

Erma Bombeck

When I was suddenly invited out to dinner a few weeks ago, I checked the clock and noted that I had

several hours to fill before I left the house. I wondered what to do in order to fill the time.

I need not have both-ered. Spare time is, after all, like a hole in the sand of a beach; it’s never too long before it fills itself in and becomes invisible. Anyway, I felt sure that I had time to take a leisurely shower and a shave then dress myself in my usual finery before I ventured out.

The shower went smoothly enough but, when I stopped to dry myself, I noted that the adjoining toilet looked grubby: I flushed it, and that was a big mistake. I’ve no idea why a toilet suddenly decides to overflow. Even if it hadn’t been utilized since Aunt Mabel stopped over for that weekend, it still conjured up some reason to block itself. I had to resort to a plunger and lots of Drano before the problem was

solved. Then the rug had to go to the wash, just in case.

Eventually, I made my way up the stairs and shaved without actually cutting my throat, although I did, in fact, whilst seated in the living room near a window with good light, manage to cut two of my toes as I was clipping off lengths of stub-born toe-nail.

As I was cleaning up the vagrant nail-clippings I discovered heaps of cook-ie crumbs hidden in the folds of the sofa cushions. I’ve no idea how long they’d

been there; we haven’t had children living in the house nearly twenty years. I checked for squir-rel but found no guilty ro-dents.

Whilst I was cleaning up those mysterious crumbs once and for all, I

discovered blood on the carpet. This, however, was no case for Hercule Poirot. I solved it myself when I limped towards the bathroom to clean my toes, and find a disinfectant plus some sort of bandage before I did eventually bleed to death.

Then the carpet had to be cleaned, that’s no easy chore.

Time, as everyone knows, is extremely fleeting. I was, by then, in a real hurry for that dinner date but, as luck will have it, there was a bang on the front door; a young relative, like an attention-seeking

missile, dropped in for a family visit. I said something polite like, “Oh! Hi!” pushed past him, and grabbed my shoes, put them on, then spent what felt like hours attempting to get rid of the lad inoffen-sively as possible, like not actually shov-ing him out the door. I was hungry to boot.

I explained that I was going out to din-ner. The lad eased past me and headed for the settee where he flopped and, grin-ning, asked, “Got a heavy date?” Then, “How come this carpet’s wet?”

I didn’t bother to explain as I laced up my shoes and hauled a coat out of the wardrobe by the door. I merely snapped, “Yep. And she’s a beauty. Think I’ll pro-pose tonight.”

That brought the lad to his feet. He asked, “How old is she, then.?”

I zipped up my jacket, thought about a hat and said, “She’s the perfect woman for me. She’s half my age plus eight. That’s always the perfect match for a man. Now, excuse me, I’m off.” I held the door open as the lad wandered past me, the brain cells in his head buzzing with mathemat-ics.

With both of us outside, I relaxed and realized that I was actually going to be on time for the dinner. I made my farewells to the lad as cordial as possible, then had to go back inside for the car keys and, while inside, I decided to pull the living room drapes. Guess what!

OpiniOn/EvEnts

Why did George W. Bush choose 19 March, 2003, to invade Iraq, rather than some day in May, or July, or

never? Because he was afraid that further delay would give United Nations arms in-spectors time to refute the accusation (his sole pretext for making an unprovoked at-tack on an independent country) that Sadd-am Hussein’s regime was working on nucle-ar weapons.

The U.S. president couldn’t say that, of course, and so instead his administration’s spokes-men mumbled about the need to get the war over and done with before the summer heat made fight-ing impossible. Yet American soldiers proved perfectly capable of operating in that summer heat during the ensuing seven years of fighting, in which over 4,000 of them were killed.

That was nothing compared to the number of Iraqi deaths. At least five times as many Iraqis have died violently in the decade since the U.S. invasion as were killed by Saddam’s regime in the ten years before the invasion. The exact number is unknown, but Saddam’s secret police were probably killing less than 2,000 peo-ple a year in 1993-2003. An estimated 121,000 Iraqi civilians have died in the military and political struggles of the past ten years.

Iraq’s infrastructure has still not re-covered to its prewar level. More than a million Iraqis still live in internal exile, unable to return to the homes from which they were “cleansed” during the Sun-ni-Shia sectarian war of 2006-2007. An-other million have fled the country for good, including a large proportion of the country’s intellectual and professional elite.

Iraq ranks eighth from the bottom on Transparency International’s corruption index, ahead of Somalia and North Korea but below Haiti and Equatorial Guinea. The government in Baghdad, though

dominated by sectarian Shia politicians, does little for the impoverished Shia ma-jority. The Sunni minority fears and hates it. And the Kurdish ethnic minority in the north just ignores Baghdad and runs a state that is independent in all but name.

Iraq’s courts do the regime’s will, tor-ture is endemic, and the swollen army and “security” forces (used almost exclu-

sively for internal repres-sion) eat up a huge share of the budget. And from the perspective of Ameri-can grand strategy, the main result of the war has been to weaken the posi-tion of the U.S. in the Gulf region and strengthen that

of its perceived opponent, Iran.The United States spent about $800

billion on the Iraq war, and will eventual-ly spend at least another trillion dollars on military pensions, disability payments and debt service. Yet it achieved less than nothing. Why on earth did it invade in the first place?

Even the defenders of the invasion have stopped claiming that Saddam Hus-sein was cooperating with al-Qaeda ter-rorists who were plotting to attack the United States. They were also plotting to overthrow and kill Saddam, as everyone with any knowledge of the Middle East already knew.

The UN weapons inspectors never found the slightest evidence that Saddam had revived the nuclear weapons pro-gramme that had been dismantled under UN supervision in the early 1990s. The people in the White House who took the decision to invade must have known that there was no such programme: the way they carefully worded their propaganda in order to avoid explicit lying is ample evidence of that.

The strategist Edward Luttwak once suggested that the real reason was that the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 had been too easy. After 9/11 the American people really wanted to punish some-

body, and Afghanistan had not provided enough catharsis. So another invasion was an emotional necessity, and (given the American public’s ignorance about the Middle East) almost any Arab country would do.

There was certainly a parallel desire among the neo-conservatives in the Bush White House to restore American power to unchallenged dominance after what they saw as the fecklessness of Bill Clin-ton’s administrations in the 1990s. That required a short and successful war that would put everyone else in awe and fear of American military might — but, once again, any weak and unpopular country would have done. Why Iraq?

The closest we can come to a rational answer is the argument, common in Washington a decade ago, that perma-nent military bases in Iraq would give America strategic control of the entire Gulf region.

The role of those bases would not be to ensure prompt delivery of the region’s oil to the United States at a low price: only 11 per cent of US oil imports come from there. The bases would instead enable the United States to block Gulf exports of oil to China if the United States found it-self in a confrontation with that country. (Geo-strategic arguments are often frivo-lous.)

None of these explanations can justify what was done, and we haven’t even gone into the damage done to inter-national law by this blatantly criminal act. But can we at least conclude that the world, or even just the United Nations, has learned a lesson from all this?

Probably yes for the United States, at least until memories fade. (Give it ten more years.) Not so much for the rest of the world, but then most other countries are less prone to invade faraway places anyway.

Iraq 10 years after the invasion

Letters to the editorsafe Passages

Warmer winters and hotter summers, decreasing snow pack and earlier spring melts, declining stream flows and warm-er streams, and longer wildfire seasons with more severe fires.

That’s the direction the regional cli-mate is going, as measured in the field by researchers. Due to these changes, wildlife needs — more than ever — room to roam as they track their shifting habi-tats.

Wildsight is in favour of long-term, science-based wildlife management and wilderness conservation in the southern Rockies of B.C., and we are impressed by a new study that addresses how climate change fits into the mix, and what can be done to lessen its impact on wildlife.

Recently, Canada’s Wildlife Conserva-tion Society released an in-depth report on what’s happening to wildlife in the southern Rockies and what it means.

The Elk Valley, the Wigwam, the Bull and the Flathead — among others — are part of an ecosystem that’s still home to

the most diverse assemblage of carnivore species anywhere in North America.

In the report, Safe Havens, Safe Pas-sages for Vulnerable Fish and Wildlife, WCS Conservation Scientist John Weaver notes that wildlife will need “room to roam” to adapt to the impacts of climate change in the southern Canadian Rock-ies and Montana.

Weaver focused on six vulnerable spe-cies — bull trout, Westslope cutthroat trout, wolverine, grizzly bear, mountain goat and bighorn sheep — and their hab-itat needs.

He drew from many other scientific studies and was able to create extensive, doable recommendations that echo those of other scientists who have stud-ied the same area.

But his recommendations go a step further: He’s created a workable plan that could be adopted by our Province, First Nations and local stakeholders. It’s a plan that makes sense.

It features solutions for wildlife con-nectivity over roads and passes (safe pas-

sages), and identifies important pockets of habitat (safe havens).

Weaver recommends a portfolio of conservation lands including a “South-ern Canadian Rockies Wildlife Manage-ment Area” (WMA) that would conserve 66 per cent of key habitats on 54 per cent of its land base. The WMA designation would emphasize fish and wildlife values while allowing other responsible land uses.

The Flathead River basin also merits very strong conservation consideration, says Weaver, due to its remarkable bio-logical diversity. He endorses a new Na-tional or Provincial Park on the B.C. side and Wilderness areas on the Montana side.

Wildsight invites residents, hunters and other interested people to review the report by visiting www.wcscanada.org.

Giving up a lead was a common thread for the Kootenay Ice in their final pair of games against the Calgary Hit-men this weekend.

However, that still produced two different results.

Cody Sylvester scored a pair of goals in the third period to lift the Hitmen to a 5-3 win on Friday at Western Fi-nancial Place, while Sam Reinhart broke a 4-4 deadlock to propel Kootenay towards the victory at the Scotia-bank Saddledome the following night.

In both games, the Ice ended the opening period with the lead, however, in both games, the Hitmen came back.

“Most games have momentum swings in it and I think we did a

good job of making sure that when Calgary re-sponded, we came back and our next shift, we got the momentum going back in our direc-tion,” said Ice assistant coach Chad Kletzel.

Jaedon Descheneau put the Ice up ahead 2-0 on Saturday with a pair of goals after the first pe-riod, but that didn’t last.

Zane Jones, Brady Brassart and Calder Brooks scored consecu-tive goals for the Hitmen to erase the deficit and take the lead, before Jor-dyn Boyd knotted things back up for Kootenay.

Boyd scored the go-ahead goal in the final frame, but Brassart re-sponded to make things even with 10 minutes remaining in the con-test.

However, Reinhart scored the game winner with just over four min-

utes left on the clock. Ice goaltender Wyatt

Hoflin got the start, but was replaced by Mack-enzie Skapski after Brooks’ goal halfway through the second pe-riod. Hoflin made six saves, while Skapski turned away seven

shots. Mack Shields stopped 21 shots on net for Calgary.

Though Kootenay was able to stage a comeback on Saturday, it wasn’t the case the night before on home ice.

Descheneau fought his way into the slot for a shot, with Luke Philp on the doorstep to bang in the rebound to draw first blood. Jon Martin dropped the puck for Reinhart as he entered the zone a few minutes later, and the young Ice sniper converted for a two-goal lead.

Brooks responded for the Hitmen by the end of the period, split-ting the Kootenay de-fensive line and putting a backhander past Skapski.

The two teams trad-ed goals in the second period, as Austin Vetterl

redirected a slap shot from Joey Leach, while Brassart answered back for Calgary.

Sylvester tied the game in the third peri-od, and then put his team ahead with two quick goals. Brassart added an empty netter to finalize the score at 5-3.

“Soft plays and not doing the right things,” said Ice captain Joey Leach, on what the team struggled with. “We’re smarter than that and we got to be able to make those plays—a couple turnovers ended up costing us in the back of the net.”

It’s deja vu for the Ice as they face the Edmon-ton Oil Kings in the first round of the WHL play-offs, and will open the first round on the road next Friday and Satur-day at Rexall Place.

Sam Reinhart made it a repeat as he picked up the Kootenay Ice Fan Club Player of the Year award for the sec-ond time in his budding two-year career in the WHL as the team hand-ed out awards on Friday night before their game against the Hitmen.

Reinhart also got the nod for the Apollo Ris-torante Player of the Year award, while cap-tain Joey Leach picked up a pair of awards—the Rod Hunter Ltd. Players Award and the Ron Collision/Dixon Service Centre Top De-fenceman award.

Reinhart ended the season with a total of 84 points with 35 goals and 49 assists—sur-passing his older broth-er Max’s career high goal total at 34—when he scored the game winning goal on Satur-day against the Hitmen in Calgary.

Reinhart is quick to shrug off his individual success and credits the entire team for the way they battled into a play-off spot in the second half of the season.

“We played really well in the second half to get into playoffs and

it hasn’t just been me, it’s been the whole team that has stepped up,” Reinhart said.

Reinhart accumulat-ed a lot of his assists by setting up linemate Jae-don Descheneau, who got the nod for the BDO Dunwoody Most Un-derrated Player. De-scheneau, who collect-ed 14 points last year, ended the current cam-paign with 30 goals and 48 assists.

“When he [head coach Ryan McGill] put us together, for the sec-

ond half, things clicked right away, and it’s been a lot of fun playing with him,” Reinhart said.

Mackenzie Skapski’s seven shutouts over the season and perfor-mance between the pipes earned him the Skyway Distributors Most Improved Player, while overage forward Brock Montgomery picked up the East Koo-tenay Community Credit Union Commu-nity Relations Award.

Luke Philp, who got in 17 games with the Ice

last year while being called up from the AJHL’s Canmore Eagles, was given the Alpine Toyota Rookie of the Year.

Philp finished the season fourth in team scoring with 20 goals and 24 assists.

“It’s been great,” said Philp. “Great group of guys on the team. We had a a rough start, but really came together in the second half of the season and it shows. We’re into the playoffs now, that’s great, and

that’s obviously the goal from the start.”

On the classroom end of things, rookie defenceman Matthew Thomas earned the Rocky Mountain Diesel Scholastic Player of the Year award. The Boston Pizza Top Playoff Per-former will be an-nounced at the conclu-sion of the post-season run.

TORONTO - Miami’s record-setting win steak continued where it started thanks to an in-spiring speech from Heat veteran Shane Battier.

The 34-year-old for-ward delivered a rous-ing team speech the night Miami started its streak in Toronto with victory Feb 3., and de-livered another one Sunday after the Heat defeated the Raptors 108-91 to win their 22nd consecutive game.

Of course, some credit should go to LeB-ron James, who poured in 22 points, 12 re-bounds and eight as-sists to lead Miami’s of-fence, but it was Batti-er’s oratory skills that had the Heat talking after the game.

“We found it fitting for him to give us an-other speech tonight after the game,” said Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra. “I didn’t say a word to him, just brought us together and Shane took it from there.

“Coach (Pat) Riley gets paid close to six fig-ures for his speeches. I don’t know what Shane should charge now, but he should get some-thing.”

Dwyane Wade had 24 points and nine as-sists while Chris Bosh chipped in 18 points for the Heat (51-14), who matched the 2007-08 Houston Rockets at 22 and now trail just the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers (33). Miami moved ahead of the 1970-71 Bucks (20) on Friday, fittingly, in Mil-

waukee.“We’re doing it to-

gether,” said James. “We’re doing it for one another, and just want to try and keep it going. It’s not about the streak, it’s about us getting bet-ter each and every day. Preparing to win each and every night.”

It was another Miami veteran making a difference on the court Sunday as sharp-shooter Ray Allen scored 14 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter as Miami pulled away.

St-Pierre manhandles Diaz en route to lopsided win at

UFC 158MONTREAL - UFC welterweight champion

Georges St-Pierre manhandled Nick Diaz for five rounds en route to a lopsided unanimous decision at UFC 158 Saturday night.

St-Pierre (24-2) pitched a shutout, winning 50-45 on all three judges’ cards.

Diaz, who said he was flat after a 13-month layoff, thanked GSP “for giving him the credit I think I de-serve.”

Diaz came to the fight with a chip on his shoulder and plenty of attitude.

He leaves with a loss and lumps on his face, al-though he showed the champion respect after the fight.

As expected, St-Pierre used his wrestling to con-trol the chirpy challenger, rag-dolling him at times and bullying him on the ground.

But he also used his jab and kicks to pick apart the challenger on his feet.

A calm, calculating St-Pierre won almost every battle during the fight without putting himself in harm’s way.

Diaz (27-8-0 with one no contest) never quit, but showed less of his trademark trash-talking.

Gonzaga earns No. 1 seed for � rst time in school history

Top-ranked Gonzaga has earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history.

The Bulldogs (31-2) were the top seed in the West Region when the brackets for the tournament were released on Sunday. The Bulldogs will open the tournament on Thursday in Salt Lake City against No. 16 seed Southern in the second round.

Earning a No. 1 seed adds another first in a sea-son of new accomplishments for Gonzaga. They enter the tournament with 31 wins, the most in school history. The No. 1 ranking in the AP poll was another first for the Bulldogs and they now have a paved path to the Final Four where they don’t have to leave the West Coast.

There was debate about whether Gonzaga’s re-sume was worthy of a No. 1 seed, but the Bulldogs enter the tournament having won 14 straight games.

Canada beats Latvia and Denmark at world women’s

curling championshipRIGA, Latvia - A touch of early jitters may have

been a factor for the young Canadian players at the start of their first world women’s curling champion-ship.

Nerves appeared to be a thing of the past on Sun-day as Ottawa skip Rachel Homan and her team-mates settled in on the second day of competition, posting a pair of comfortable victories to improve to 2-1.

Homan beat Latvia 7-5 in the afternoon draw and topped Denmark 8-2 in the evening. It was a solid bounce-back day for Canada after a 6-4 loss to Scotland’s Eve Muirhead on Saturday.

Homan and her team of Emma Miskew, Alison Kreviazuk and Lisa Weagle displayed the same form that helped them win their first Scotties Tourna-ment of Hearts title just a few weeks ago.

In the early game, Homan pulled ahead 5-1 after four ends and was never really threatened the rest of the way. Latvian skip Iveta Stasa-Sarsune, feeding off the cheers from the home crowd, pulled off a couple steals late in the game before conceding in the final end.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make it your pleasure to relate to someone who has a lot to share. One-on-one relating proves to be worthwhile. Hon-or incoming news, and rethink your position. Schedule that personal appointment that makes you feel confident and good. Tonight: Do some spring shopping. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Beam in more of what you desire. You might feel as if you can conquer the world and ac-complish everything you desire. Recognize your priorities, and know that you are unusually fortunate at this point in time.

Your humor comes through. Tonight: Whatever pleases you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be happy to get some quiet work done. You can and will ac-complish a lot if you relax.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Surround yourself with friends. You might wonder what is hap-pening with a loved one who seems distant. Push for what you want with the full expec-tation of getting just that. You could be seen as a role model for positive thinking. Tonight: Say “yes” to people. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It feels natural to give others what they want from you.

Tonight: Working late.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. If this person does not respond, you might feel as if you can’t do anything more. Detach, and try to understand where he or she is coming from; you’ll gain a new perspective as a result. Understanding will follow. Tonight: Feed your mind. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Success often starts from others feeling valued. One-on-one re-lating could be instrumental to this experience.

your sense of direction. Laugh-ter surrounds you. Realize what is happening within your im-mediate circle. Your way of han-dling a problem will prove very effective. Tonight: Get some exercise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your awareness of possibilities attracts new ideas. How you feel and what you do could change after a playful exchange. You know what you want, but can you manifest it?

BORN TODAY Actress Queen Latifah (1970), actress Vanessa Williams (1963), actor Peter Graves (1926)

Dear Annie: I am 55 years old and have worked at my job for 25 years. A couple of years ago, the company hired a 26-year-old guy. I have been patient, but I am reaching the end of my rope. “Justin” cannot remember what was said the minute he hangs up the telephone. He doesn’t pay attention to what he is doing. He lies all the time, and we all know it. He takes on no new responsibilities, which drives the rest of us crazy. He just does his work and then plays on the Internet. It seems that he’s simply along for the ride. Justin is married, and if his wife has even an iota of an issue, he falls apart, texting her every three minutes. I have asked him to do some tasks, thinking that he’d catch on, but he’s not grabbing the carrot. He makes the same mis-takes over and over, and mind you, he deals with other people’s money. We don’t think he cares one bit about anyone except himself. I cannot think of a way to address this with-out being hurtful. Justin does not take criti-cism well and sulks when confronted. Even the boss is afraid to speak to Justin, because he’ll fall apart. What can we do? -- Wish He’d Look for Another Job Dear Wish: If the boss is unwilling to deal with Justin, knowing that he isn’t competent, there’s not much you can do. Criticism will not be helpful. Instead, please try to mentor Justin. Teach him, carefully and consistently, even though it requires constant repetition. Even 3-year-olds can learn, given enough instruction and practice. It’s certainly better than banging your head against the wall in frustration. Dear Annie: I am 16 years old and have a twin sister. We both make excellent grades and are popular with teachers and friends. But we constantly fight. I am controlling and demanding around her. She doesn’t respond to me, listen to me or respect me. I’m sure that’s why I am so controlling. The past few months have been miserable for me. I absolutely cannot wait to go off to college and be away from my sister. I realize that I am part of the problem because I do cause some drama. But she makes me feel bad about myself, and as a result, I hate being around her. Life is her way or the highway. She will demand that I help her with school, so I do. But if the help isn’t up to her stan-dards, she screams at me, hits me and gets me in trouble. If I don’t help her, my parents punish me. Yet if I ask to borrow a textbook, she refuses. I’m contemplating staying with my grand-parents on the weekends and have also thought about cutting off communication with my sister. I can’t continue to deal with this. It is affecting my health. How do we re-solve these issues? -- Brother Dear Brother: Your sister has managed to get your undivided attention at all times. We sug-gest you work on your response to her. Learn to ignore her sweetly. We also suggest you steer clear of her as much as possible. Study at a friend’s house. Go to your grandparents’ for the weekend. Explain to your parents that the house will be quieter if you and Sis spend less time in each other’s company. You also could discuss this with your school counselor. Dear Annie: You were right to tell “Not a Cheater” that one possible reason why her husband is constantly accusing her of having affairs is that he is the one who is cheating. After 41 years of my suspicious husband wrongly accusing me, I found out he had been having affairs for 30 years. He had been cover-ing up his own guilt by accusing me. He is now my ex. -- Better Off Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

CALGARY — A keeper at the Calgary Zoo who was fired after leaving a door unlatched, allow-ing several gorillas to escape into an off-limits kitchen, says he wants his job back.

Garth Irvine, 49, told Metro Calgary he has been doing regu-lar tasks at the zoo for nearly 25 years, but last week he encoun-tered a situation unlike any other.

He went into a staff kitchen area next to the gorilla enclosure to find three female apes inside. He said he moved quickly to usher them out, but startled the troop’s biggest gorilla — a roughly 205-kilogram silverback named Kakinga.

“He charged — and I had played it out in my mind a million times what would happen in a situation like that. He did exactly what I always thought he would do ... He pinned me down. He gave me a small bite. He flipped me over and dragged me about six feet and then he ran away,’’ Ir-vine told Metro.

He managed to get to his feet

and radioed for help. Irvine esti-mates the situation was resolved in less than seven minutes.

The zoo announced this week it had fired Irvine, who had previ-ously taken responsibility for leaving a knife inside the enclo-sure in 2009. The knife was picked up by a western lowland gorilla named Barika. A photo of the primate holding the knife gar-nered international headlines, but a report by the Canadian As-sociation of Zoos and Aquariums cleared the zoo of any wrongdo-ing.

In 2010, Irvine said he also took the blame when two Mala-gasy giant hognose snakes slith-ered down an uncovered drain. The pair was missing for nearly 24 hours before being found.

Irvine said mishaps are bound to happen in an environment with so many moving parts like a zoo.

“I would say absolutely every-one does make mistakes,’’ he said. “The (zoo) facility is full of an amazing group of people that ab-solutely dedicate their lives to an-

imals.’’Irvine said he is going to ap-

peal his dismissal. The process will start with a review by the zoo’s director of animal care. It will then proceed to CEO Dr. Clement Lanthier and finally the City of Calgary parks department.

Zoo spokeswoman Trish Ex-ton-Parder said Thursday the zoo had not received any notification of an appeal.

“That is confidential informa-tion, anyway, but, no, we have heard nothing,’’ she said.

Irvine said he’s also exploring other opportunities, including a possible career path as a public speaker. He is scheduled to give a recap of some of his favourite memories working with gorillas during a public speaker series next week.

“I enjoy them (gorillas) so much because I have tremen-dous empathy for them as a spe-cies,’’ he said. “They’re so much like us. They have so much per-sonality and you develop individ-ual relationships with these spec-tacular animals.”

DUBLIN, Ireland — Never mind the fickle Irish weather. A chilly, damp Dublin celebrat-ed St. Patrick’s Day with artistic flair anyway Sunday as the focal point for a weekend of Irish celebrations worldwide.

More than 250,000 revelers braved the oc-casionally snowy, sleety skies to line the streets for the traditional holi-day parade, a 3-kilome-tre (2-mile) jaunt through the city’s heart involving performers from 46 countries.

Unusually, 8,000 tourists in town for the festivities led this year’s procession in a “peo-ple’s parade.’’ Many donned leprechaun costumes or deployed banners and flags of their home nations or U.S. states, with the Tex-ans making the biggest impression as they sported “Happy St. Pad-dy’s Day, Y’All!’’ T-shirts.

One marcher, a 22-year-old engineer from Calgary, Canada, defiantly showed it wasn’t so nippy at all — by doing the hour-long walk shirtless, with only

“It’s not cold!’’ Oliver Feniak declared as he, like many in the leisure-ly paced 2 1/2-hour pa-rade, stopped to shake hands with onlookers standing five-deep on O’Connell Bridge span-ning the River Liffey.

Sunday’s decision to put tourists in the van-guard was connected to a year-long tourism pro-motion called The Gath-ering that is organizing hundreds of clan re-unions nationwide in

hopes of boosting the economy. That’s sorely needed in an Ireland struggling with 14 per cent unemployment, heavy emigration and a household-debt crisis following the 2008 col-lapse of its Celtic Tiger boom.

St. Patrick’s Day al-ways marks the start of Ireland’s full-court press for tourists. Since 1997 Dublin has expanded the holiday into a multi-day festival featuring special children’s play-grounds, street amuse-

While tens or thou-sands of foreigners have made a beeline for Dub-lin, practically the entire Irish government has gone the other direc-tion, sending 19 minis-ters to 21 countries to capitalize on a market-ing opportunity unique among nations.

Prime Minister Enda Kenny marched in Sat-urday’s biggest U.S. pa-rade in New York and is scheduled to meet Pres-ident Obama at the White House on Tues-day, when the U.S. polit-ical establishment marks the Irish holiday.

It hasn’t all gone smoothly. The govern-ment deputy leader, Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore, caused diplo-matic waves in Atlanta, Georgia, by snubbing the second-biggest American parade in nearby Savannah — be-cause, Gilmore said, he didn’t want to attend a dinner hosted by an Irish-American group that bans women from attending.

Most of Irish-Ameri-ca marked the holiday a day early, reflecting the view that such a notori-ously boozy holiday shouldn’t happen on a Sunday. But the Irish di-aspora in most of the rest of the world stuck to

marking St. Patrick’s Day on March 17 as usual.

Many of Sunday’s revelers suggested they were in Dublin specifi-cally to soak up the pub atmosphere.

“We came all the way from Kansas City to drink some Guinness!’ declared one banner on the parade route dis-played by John Mullen, a 46-year-old lawyer, and his 17-year-old son Jack.

The senior Mullen, whose roots lie in the western county of Mayo, said he and his boy ac-tually were golfing their way through Ireland, not drinking. He said the key to enjoying Ire-land was to soak up the locals’ exceptionally good conversation re-gardless of the foul weather.

“Yesterday we got rained on, sleeted on, snowed on as we golfed. There was even some sun here and there. It was four seasons in one round,’’ Mullen said. “People back home say I’ve got the gift of the gab, but I’ve got no game here. The conver-sations here are magnif-icent. But you some-times wonder how you’ve ever going to get out of them!’’

ment parks, concerts and walking tours. Irish President Michael D. Higgins is hosting a na-tionally televised TV show Monday night fea-turing many of Ireland’s top artists and musi-cians, including Bono and Nobel-winning poet Seamus Heaney.

“We cherish the cre-ativity, community spir-it and rich culture for which we, as a nation, are renowned,’’ Higgins said in a speech after the parade. “I have said on many occasions that while the experience of the so-called Celtic Tiger failed to live up to

the best versions of Irishness, we have not been failed by our art-ists. In fact, our artists are a huge moral re-source and great reputa-tional asset for Ireland.’’

St. Patrick’s Day is being marked in sky-lines across the world as part of a global cam-paign to floodlight land-marks green at night. This year the pyramids of Giza, the leaning tower of Pisa, Niagara Falls, and the Christ the Redeemer statue over-looking Rio are among dozens of iconic spots going green for the oc-casion.

ASSoCIAtED PRESSNEW YORK — Wear-

ing a replica of the orga-nization’s uniform, Ma-donna called on the Boy Scouts to lift its ban on gays while also calling for a “revolution’’ to pre-vent discrimination and abuse of the gay com-munity.

Speaking Saturday night at the GLAAD Media Awards, Madon-na said the Boy Scouts should “change their stupid rules.’’

Later, she spoke about young people who commit suicide after suffering from bul-lying.

Noting that she has teenage kids of her own, she said the situation is “an atrocity to me and I don’t accept it.’’

She then called on the audience to join her in a “revolution’’ to change the world.

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.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixty-two 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. 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 sites’ 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.

C anadian Press

VATICAN CITY — The Canadian cardinal considered a front-run-ner for the papacy ex-pressed relief Friday that he wasn’t chosen to lead the Roman Catho-lic Church.

Cardinal Marc Ouel-let was beaming as he conducted interviews with Quebec-based media at the Vatican, saying he was already sleeping better since the conclave ended with Argentinian Cardi-nal Jorge Bergoglio being selected Pope on Wednesday.

“Every time I heard my name being uttered during the vote count I was thinking to myself, ‘What are these people thinking? The Romans are crazy!’’’ Ouellet told Montreal La Presse, using a playful turn of phrase borrowed from the cartoon “Asterix and Obelix.’’

“I was psychological-ly prepared for any re-sult. When I saw the car-dinals lining up behind someone else, I was re-lieved. The result of the

Canadian Marc Ouellet, left, holds on to his umbrella next to Argentine Jorge Mario Cardinal Bergoglio, now Pope Francis I, as they walk in St. Peter’s Square after attending a cardinals’ meeting, March 6, 2013.

his fellow cardinals to support Bergoglio.

Both news outlets speculated the new pontiff would reward Ouellet for his support by giving him an influ-ential new position at the Vatican.

At least one Italian writer with the Panora-ma news weekly specu-lated, however, that Ouellet received early support from the other cardinals out of respect and an acknowledg-ment of his front-runner status.

Ouellet currently heads the Vatican’s bishops’ office, where he plays a key role in the selection of bishops and archbishops around the world.

Despite his promi-nence within the church, there had long been speculation that Ouellet wasn’t particu-larly enthusiastic about being one of the top contenders for the pa-pacy.

He famously once said it would be “a night-mare’’ to be pope.

conclave was the best one possible.’’

Ouellet’s comments came as Italian media reports said the 68-year-old from La Motte, Que., apparently came very close to becoming pope.

According to Italian news outlet Il Solo 24 Ore, Ouellet tied with the Italian Cardinal An-

gelo Scola in early vot-ing at the Sistine Chap-el, with Bergoglio com-ing in third.

The report says Scola was later unable to gain further support after many cardinals decided against choosing a Vati-can insider to lead the Roman Catholic Church.

Ouellet then report-edly convinced his fel-low cardinals to throw their support behind Bergoglio, who eventu-ally became Pope Fran-cis.

Italy’s La Republica newspaper also report-ed that Ouellet received strong support in early ballots and then asked

“I see the work the Pope has to do. It’s maybe not so enviable. It’s a crushing responsi-bility... There’s the help of the holy spirit, for

sure, but it’s a very big responsibility. Nobody campaigns for that,’’ he told a Quebec City newspaper during an interview in 2011.

SASKATOON — It’s literally a dream come true for a northern Sas-katchewan man who has won a Lotto Max jackpot.

David Chaykowski from Big River, north-west of Prince Albert, is $30 million richer and is facing the decision of how to divvy up his win-nings.

Chaykowski, who is 59, says he bought the ticket for the March 8 draw at a Big River gas station and dreamed last weekend that he was splitting up millions with his family.

The next day his daughter informed him the lucky ticket had

been purchased in Sas-katchewan, so Chayko-wski immediately checked his ducat and discovered he had won.

He says he promised his mother years ago she would be the first person he called if he ever won the lottery — and he held true to his promise.

And just like in his dream, he plans to share his winnings with his family.

Chaykowski, accom-panied by his wife Glo-ria, picked up his cheque in Saskatoon on Friday. He said he looks forward to retiring.

“I’m happy, but it’s still not sinking in,’’ he exclaimed.

OTTAWA — Astro-naut Chris Hadfield mesmerized a group of schoolchildren Friday as he held a ques-tion-and-answer ses-sion from space, moder-ated by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife Laureen.

Flying above the earth at 7.71 kilometres per second, Hadfield appeared to relish the chance to describe for his young audience what it’s like to live and work in space.

“Does Canada look like you would expect it to from space?’’ asked Darcy McRae, 11, of Ka-nata, Ont.

“Does it look just like it does on a map?’’

Hadfield answered each question thought-fully and thoroughly, filling the minds of those listening with thoughts of what it would be like to be in his shoes.

Sitting on a sofa at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, the prime min-ister congratulated Had-field on taking com-mand of the Interna-

tional Space Station.Hadfield said he’s in-

credibly proud to have the opportunity, saying he’s amazed at what a huge, rich country Can-ada is.

“I get to go from Van-couver Island and see the Arctic and see the Maritimes in 10 min-utes, coast to coast,’’ he said as he described the “smooth as silk’’ feeling of speeding around the globe. “It just fills me with pride.’’

The Sarnia, Ont., na-tive told the children the last place he sees as he zips across the country is the rugged rock of Newfoundland and Labrador and Cape Breton, N.S.

On Wednesday, Hadfield took control of the International Space Station — the first Cana-dian to do so. But it wasn’t his only space ‘first.’

Hadfield was the first Canadian to be a NASA mission specialist when he went on a space shut-tle mission in November 1995 to dock with the Russian space station Mir. He was also the first

Chris Hadfield tells kids he hopes there will be more Canadians in space

Canadian to ever board the station, and the first Canadian to operate the Canadarm in orbit.

Hadfield is sched-uled to end his current five-month space mis-sion in mid-May.

He encouraged his young audience to think about becoming an as-tronaut, telling them to educate themselves, take care of their bodies

and always make deci-sions — right or wrong — and take on challeng-es.

That message was quickly absorbed by Ava Dandia of Maxville, Ont., who revealed her desire to consider a space-based career.
