Miller receives W.R. Bennett Award for Athletic Excellence

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

As reported in yesterday’s Bulletin, Kimberley’s Molly Miller brought home two gold medals from the BC Winter Games. She also brought home a presti-gious award, the W.R. Bennett Award for Athletic Excellence.

The award is given to one outstanding athlete at each BC Winter and BC Summer Games. The award includes a $2500 bursa-ry and is designed to recognize and sup-

port the ongoing development of young athletes.

The award was named in honour of the former Premier of British Columbia, Wil-liam Bennett, who was instrumental in starting the BC Summer and BC Winter Games program in 1978. The Award was first presented by Mr. Bennett at the 2008 BC Summer Games, which were hosted in Mr. Bennett’s hometown of Kelowna.

Nominees were evaluated on major sport accomplishments, future potential

and ambition in sport, and leadership. Miller was nominated by Cross Country BC and chosen by a BC Games Society selec-tion panel.

Despite her youth, Molly Miller’s list of accomplishments is already lengthy. She almost always competes well above her age level, and wins at that level. She has just returned from the German Nationals where she won a bronze medal.

Teck fined millions for polluting Columbia

RiverSHERI REGNIER

Trail Times

Teck Trail Operations was penal-ized $3.4 million in Rossland Provin-cial Court on Monday.

The fine relates to 13 accidental discharg-es that occurred between Novem-ber 2013 and February 2015, according to the company’s news release.

Effluent with elevated levels of substances in-cluding copper, zinc, ammonia, chlo-rine and cadmium were released by outfall into the Columbia River, lead-ing to five charges under the Fisheries and Envi-ronmental Management Acts.

A portion of the penalty will be designat-ed for local environmental conservation funds.

In relation to the federal Fisher-ies Act charges, $3 million of the fine will be di-rected to the Environmental Damages Fund, confirmed Catherine Adair, Teck community re-lations leader.

“The judge recommend-ed that these funds be directed to conserva-tion and protection of fish habi-tat in the Lower Columbia re-gion,” said Adair. “Which includes the Koote-nay and Columbia Rivers from Nelson south.”

The remaining $400,000 is in rela-tion to the provincial Environmental Manage-ment Act charges, explained Adair. She said $390,000 will be directed to the Habitat Conser-vation Trust Fund, and used for projects that en-hance biological diversity, fish, fish habi-tat and wildlife habitat in the Lower Colum-bia, which includes the Kootenay and Colum-bia Rivers from Nelson south.

The remaining $10,000 will go to general rev-enue, she added.

“Incidents of this kind are simply not accept-able,” Thompson Hickey, general manag-er of Trail operations, said in the release.

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. Barry Coulter photos

From Page 1Her mother, Kim,

told the Bulletin last month that going to the BC Winter Games was important for Molly, not just for the competition but for the opportunity to be with athletes her own age.

Molly competed for Team BC at the 2015 Canada Winter Games as a 13 year old in an under 23 category where many athletes were 10 years older than her. She was an integral part of Team BC’s relay and brought home a sil-ver medal from those Games. At the 2015 Ca-nadian Cross Country Championships she won two golds and two silvers against athletes two years older than her as well as the aggregate award for her age group. She has been identified by Cross Country Cana-da and is a member of the National Junior B team. Miller actually qualified for the Nation-al Junior A team but was still too young to com-pete at that level.

BC Winter Games

Miller not only has achieved in sport, she has also demonstrated on a daily basis what it means to be a leader within her sport, school, and community, said a BC Games press release. She is an active member of the “Free the Chil-dren Club” at her school

raising awareness about poverty locally and in-ternationally and has initiated fundraising ef-forts to support families in Kenya and Nepal. Miller was also one of 17 athletes presented a Coast Capital Savings Athlete Bursary Award at the 2014 BC Winter

Games for her exempla-ry leadership activities.

Currently a grade 9 student at Selkirk Sec-ondary School in Kim-berley, she maintains an A average and has an interest in pursuing neuroscience.

“I was so surprised

when I realized that I was being recognized with this award at the Closing Ceremony,” said Miller. “I am very thank-ful for this support as I am going to Sweden for a training camp so this will be a huge help.”

Shafraaz Kaba, an Edmonton architect who built his own net-zero energy home, will be sharing his net-zero knowledge in Kimberley and Cran-brook on Friday, March 4th. Wildsight Kimber-ley/Cranbrook will present Shafraaz’s four-hour seminar for pro-fessionals from 1-5PM in Cranbrook and an inspiring evening pre-sentation for the public at 7:30PM in Kimberley.

“Edmonton has been a worldwide lead-er in net-zero homes over the past decade,” said Sander-Green, “and so we are very ex-cited to have Shafraaz in Kimberley and Cran-brook to share with us.”

In his presentation, Chasing Net Zero: Les-sons learned from de-signing and building a net zero-ready home in Edmonton using pas-sive design principles, Shafraaz will share his experience creating a unique home that is

low-tech but provides high-performance. His experience builds upon lessons learned from the Equilibrium Hous-ing program and from advice to keep it simple. He will also share what he’d do differently if he could do it all over again and what it’s like to live in a net-zero home.

Shafraaz will cover passive house strate-gies, building siting and orientation to maxi-mize daylight and pas-sive solar gain, exterior wall, roof, and founda-tion construction de-tails, effective air and vapour barriers, and low cost heating and ventilating systems.

“Some of the best parts of the speaker se-ries so far have been sparked by questions from the audience,” added Sander-Green, “so we always make sure there is plenty of opportunity for interac-tion.”

PAGE 4 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 2016

In Invermere Matt Haas has be-come 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 men-tal 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 ‘res-cued’ again. This time it was the gas meter lady making her rounds who found an

upturned ladder, a pump sprayer container with in-secticide in it and Matt’s body under a decorative cr-ab-apple tree. The young woman didn’t panic but did note that the man’s face was 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

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 thread-bare 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 thou-sands. At that moment, Wally, the son of Theresa’s sister arrived in his pick-up with his two large dogs. Man and dogs unload-ed and headed towards the house antici-pating treats. However, the deer moved and the two dogs gave chase with extreme enthusiasm.

Wally yelled, ignoring his uncle’s su-pine body under the sprinkler and called his hounds to heel then headed in to be greeted by an enthusiastic aunt, who, no-ticing 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?”

Behind the eight-ball early, the Kootenay Ice couldn’t recover.

The Medicine Hat Ti-gers scored twice in the first period of play, in-cluding 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 Medi-cine 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 [peri-ods] — but he’s got to be ready to play early.

“It put our team be-hind and we had a tough time catching up from there.”

Hobbs went on to make 34 saves, but it wasn’t enough to sal-vage 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 Med-icine 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 mark-er 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 pow-er-play opportunities in the period, including a two-minute 5-on-3 man advantage after defence-man Ryan Pouliot was tagged with a slashing major and forward River Beattie received an insti-gating minor and fight-ing 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 criti-cal of the officials,” Pierce said. “They’re certainly not the reason why we lost the hockey game. But all of a sud-den stuff in the third pe-riod that had been going on all game long starts

getting called. It was a bizarre set of circum-stance from my stand-point and it certainly didn’t allow us to gener-ate 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 Pre-ziuso, 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

bit behind, timing maybe not all there. But he will be important for us. We’ve got a lot of guys banged up and we need him to provide constant energy.”

Nick Schneider was unblemished when the final buzzer sounded, turning in 19 saves to collect his 16th victory of the campaign.

With the triumph, the Tigers (25-34-3-2) have won three straight and pulled within six points of the Edmonton Oil Kings for the second and final wild card posi-tion in the WHL’s East-ern Conference.

For the Ice, the regu-

lation defeat goes into the books as the 47th of the season, dropping the club to 10-47-6-0.

A busy road swing continues Wednesday evening (6 p.m. Moun-tain) for the Ice, as they visit the Regina Pats (30-26-3-4).

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, Koote-nay carries on to Prince Albert (Friday) and Sas-katoon (Saturday).

“We need more con-tributions, not necessar-ily 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 De-scheneau (shoulder), RW Austin Gray (illness) and C Dylan Stewart (concussion) Tuesday night… C Reed Morison (1998) made his WHL debut for the Ice Tues-day, 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 situa-tion not knowing every-thing 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 dealTaylor rocc a

Sports Editor

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.

A 6-foot-1, 212-pound native of Winni-peg, Martin spent 250 games with the Ice be-fore being dealt to the

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

In his overage sea-son, Martin was caught in a 20-year-old logjam in Cranbrook.

Since landing in Swift Current, the for-mer seventh-round WHL Bantam Draft se-lection (135th overall,

2010) has put up career numbers after being named Broncos captain.

In 61 games this sea-son, Martin has regis-tered 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 sea-sons, Martin attended the NHL Young Stars Tournament in Pentic-ton, B.C., on invite with the Vancouver Canucks.

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

Taylor rocca PhoTo

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.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

With a 4-2 victory in Game 5 of the Eddie Mountain Division semifinal, the Kimber-ley Dynamiters ground-ed the Fernie Ghostrid-ers and advanced to the second round of the KIJHL post-season Monday night.

Tuesday afternoon, the schedule for Dyna-miters 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 Fern-ie] 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 sea-son second in the Eddie Mountain Division be-fore sweeping the third-place Columbia Valley Rockies in four games earlier this week to ad-vance 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 Cres-ton 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 Confer-ence, the Beaver Valley Nitehawks eliminated the Nelson Leafs in four games… The third-place Grand Forks Border Bru-ins lead the second-place Castlegar Rebels 3-2 in their best-of-seven divi-sion semifinal, with Game 6 slated for Tues., March 1 (results unavail-able by print deadline)… In the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference, the Osoyoos Coyotes swept the North Okana-gan Knights and the 100 Mile House Wranglers did the same to the Rev-elstoke 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)…

Marcus Stroman allowed two runs over two in-nings and second base-man Darwin Barney drove in five runs as the Toronto Blue Jays defeat-ed the Philadelphia Phil-lies 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 bas-es-loaded double off Phillies starter Severino Gonzalez to score two runs in the first inning. He tagged Gregory In-fante (0-1) for a double in the third and drove in the fifth run with a sin-gle in the fifth.

Carlos Ruiz drove in two runs for Philadel-phia with a single off Stroman in the second.

Former Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia, started the

game at DH for the Phil-lies and hit a solo home run off Toronto’s Drew Hutchison in the fourth. That was the only hit al-lowed by Hutchison, who went two innings.

After a perfect first, Stroman ran into trou-ble in the second, allow-ing three straight two-out singles before get-ting a groundout to end the frame. He was also charged with a throwing error in the second.

Mariners sign Cuban outfielder HerediaaSSocIaTED 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 catch-

er Jesus Sucre on the 60-day disabled list. He had surgery Jan. 26 to repair damage in his right ankle, a week after frac-turing 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 vio-lence 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 girl-friend 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 nur-turing associate or someone you find to be quite soothing will make a big difference in how you feel.

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.

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 an-other. 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 per-son will be there for you, but he or she tends to be high energy. You can handle it, though. In fact, his or her words and actions might amuse you as well as mo-tivate you. Tonight: A friend goes out of his or her way for you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Share more of your feelings, and

you will learn more information as a result. You might be jolted by some of what you hear. In fact, integrating this informa-tion might be difficult for you, as you can see the situation only from your own perspective. To-night: Return calls first. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can get past a problem if you relax and get past a finan-cial hassle. Your nerves could be frayed by recent events, which could continue.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will get past a problem quickly because you are re-sourceful 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 some-one 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 unpre-dictable 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 ac-cept 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.

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-in-law 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 middle-class 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.

Maria “Mary” Lucille Reekie

October 2, 1924 – February 22, 2016

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.

Mary is survived by her daughters Isobel (Phil) Van Den Berg, Vicki (Leon) Bjerstedt, Nancy (Peter) Kleindienst, grandchildren Kathryn (Chris) Huston, Brian Sveinson, Shannon (Frank) Toebaert, Erik (Tara) Bjerstedt, Jon (Keri) Bjerstedt, Evan (Michelle) Kleindienst, Niki (Dallas) Walkey, her beloved great grandchildren Kyra, Noah; Madison, Aleesa; Mark, Katie; Kyle, Nicholas; Isaac, Wyatt; Hanna, Ryan; and Charlotte. Mary was predeceased by her husband Archie (1993), parents Eberardo (Tranquilla) Montegani, brother Anthony Montegani and in-laws James (Agnes) Reekie.

A funeral mass to celebrate Mary’s life will be held on Monday, March 7, 2016 at Christ The Servant Catholic Church in Cranbrook at 11:00 am at 1100 – 14th Avenue South. Donations in honour of Mary can be made to the: Canadian Cancer Society, 19 - 9th Avenue South, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 2L9.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at:

www.mcphersonfh.com

Goldie Ruth PedersenIt is with deep sorrow that the family of Goldie Pedersen announces her passing on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 at 77 years of age.

Goldie was born in Creston, BC where she was raised on the Masuch family farm. She later obtained a teachers certificate from the University of Victoria and then met her husband

Harvey back in Creston. They moved to Kimberley, BC where Goldie worked as a school teacher for over 30 years. Goldie enjoyed summers at Kootenay Lake snowmobiling, walking, playing piano and singing in the choir, gardening, curling, bowling and above all else spending time with her family.

Goldie is survived by her son Donald, sisters-in-law May, Elaine, Mona and Marlene, brothers-in-law Ken and Mert as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Goldie was predeceased by her husband Harvey, brothers Eric, Fred and Elvin and sisters Marie and Esther

No service will be held as per Goldie’s wishes. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the charity of your choice.

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.

Marcia DunnAssociated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Astronaut Scott Kelly closed the door Tuesday to an unprece-dented year in space for NASA, flying back to the planet and loved ones he left behind last March.

Kelly and his room-mate for the past 340 days, Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko, check out of the Interna-tional Space Station on Tuesday night, U.S. time.

By the time their cap-sule lands in Kazakhstan on Wednesday, the pair will have travelled 144 million miles through space, circled the world 5,440 times and experi-enced 10,880 orbital sun-rises 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. Follow me as I rediscover

#Earth!”Piloting the Soyuz

capsule home for Kelly, 52, and Kornienko, 55, will be the much fresher and decade younger cos-monaut 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. Kornien-ko reached out and pat-ted the inside of the sta-tion before the hatches swung shut.

The two yearlong spacemen will undergo a series of medical tests following touchdown. Before committing to even longer Mars mis-sions, 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 Korn-ienko “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 contin-ues to rule, however, when it comes to long-duration space-flight. The world record of 438 days was set by a Russian doctor during the mid-1990s.

The choice of the pio-neering Kelly turned out to be a bonanza. His identical twin, retired as-tronaut Mark Kelly, of-fered 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.
