C A RO LYN G R A N TIt was an unusually
warm February, and March is continuing in the same fashion.
Does this means bears will be emerging from hibernation early?
There has been some early bear activity in the Kootenays, both east and west, already this year, says Frank Rit-cey, Provincial Coordi-nator of WildSafe BC, but the cause may not be warm weather.
“In general, bears do not come out early as a response to warm weather,” he said. “The bigger factor is how much fat they have. A bear with good fat stores will stay in hiber-nation longer.
“If the bear is skinni-er and the fat reserve depleted, it will get up to find food.
“My theory is that we will see more bears
early this year because they went into hiberna-tion thinner, because of poor berry crops, among other things. However, there is noth-ing to prove that theory yet.”
There are reports of bear activity in the area, although none in Kim-berley yet. In Cran-brook, a black bear was spotted on February 2 — that is quite early, Ritcey says.
In Fernie, there have been two bear sightings reported and one in Elkford on January 15.
“The thing is, with bears there are always some outliers, every winter the odd bear shows up. It could be because their den was disturbed; say a bear denned in a snowbank and someone walked over it.
Bear signPoor berry crop means bears
denned up skinny and may have depleted fat stores, leading themto emerge from hibernation early
FOR THE TOWNSMANThe Cranbrook area is
finishing off the winter with a mini-baby boom, accord-ing to Interior Health.
Karl Hardt, Communica-tions Officer for Interior Health East, wrote in an
email that March 2 was al-ready a hectic day at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. A surge in patients had teams in emergency, medi-cal and other departments scrambling.
Then, the babies started
coming. One, then another, then another, then another…
In just 24 hours from March 2 to 3, a total of 11 babies entered the world at EKRH.
In astrological terms, hat’s a lot of Pisces.
For a site that generally averages fewer than two de-liveries a day, delivering 11 babies in 24 hours was a tes-tament to the dedication, teamwork and flexibility of the great staff and physi-cians.
“This required monu-mental effort and everyone stepped up and helped out in spite of the pressures being felt in every unit,” said Karyn Morash, EKRH Acute Health Services Director.
“We are learning daily
how to strengthen our team-work within departments and between programs. It’s a difficult but exciting time to be in healthcare and I’m happy to be in it with all y’all.”

TRE VOR CR AWLEYAfter 14 years of service to
the City of Cranbrook, Chief Administrative Officer Wayne Staudt will retire on March 24, 2016.
Staudt, who has served in the CAO capacity since 2012, has previously announced his intention to retire, however, he postponed it in order to help the new mayor and council get their feet under them after the 2014 election.
The City is currently in-volved in a recruitment pro-cess and hopes to make an announcement in the near future. An interim CAO posi-tion will be appointed until a permanent candidate is hired.
Staudt, who has lived in Cranbrook since 1978, joined the city administration in 2002 as the Director of Fi-nance before taking on CAO duties and has worked with six councils and four mayors over his tenure.
City CAO set to retireCity of Cranbrook will be looking for
replacement for Wayne Staudt

Rumour has it that a report on a recent Home Grown performance named a band Pot Luck instead of Hot Muck. Hi-larity and teasing en-sued, however, the band, which performs all kinds of music says the name Potluck kind of appeals to them. The name may be adopted for certain shows.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSam Steele Days is three
months away but the subject came up at a regular city council meeting on Monday.
Mayor and council waived the $716.65 in rental fees for the fields at the Kins-men Quad Ball Park and the Moir Park ball diamonds for the annual Sam Steele Slo-Pitch tournament.
That touched off a discus-sion about a recent trend of the tournament extending into the late (or early) hours of the night, as teams are sometimes still on the field after midnight.
“We actually get surpris-ingly few complaints about the late hour,” said Wayne Staudt, Chief Administration Officer for the City of Cran-
brook, after a question from Councillor Ron Popoff. “We get more complaints doing this late-hour thing over at Rotary Park, but at the ball diamonds, we rarely get any complaints.”
Councillor Tom Shypitka also wondered if there had been any complaints around any bars or pubs.
“We haven’t received any
complaints from them ei-ther,” Staudt continued. “My sense is that during Sam Steele Days, everybody’s busy. All the bars are busy and everybody’s busy.”
The discussion also brought up a funding stick-ing point, as any community organization requesting funding from the city must go through a new grant ap-
plication process that opens up in the spring. The ball tournament organizers were requesting funding through a contingency fund, which council has the discretion to authorize a limit of roughly $500.
The Slo-Pitch tourna-ment is one of the premier events of Sam Steele Days, attracting 70 teams from
Western Canada and the U.S. to compete in three separate divisions of competitiveness. Funds raised from the tour-nament are returned into capital projects for Cran-brook ball diamonds such as a double batting cage at Con-federation Park and a bath-room/outhouse/storage fa-cility at Moir Park.
COURTESY SUE SPYSKSMA
Middle School students from Kootenay Christian Academy put on an amazing drama production
for the community. The production “The Ransom of Miss Elverna Dowers” sent the message of not
judging a book by it’s cover. There was a lot of laughter mixed in with the story about grace,
forgiveness, and hope. Mrs. Abrey and Mrs. Morrison, the KCA drama
teachers, helped the students to do an exceptional job performing! The students are so gifted and it is a blessing to have this incredible
drama program at KCA. Can’t wait to see what they do for their Celebration of Arts in April.
City waives fees for Sam Steele ball tourney
“I would like to thank Mayor Pratt and his councillors for the con-fidence they have shown in me as a new council in 2014,” said Staudt. “I have enjoyed working with all the mayors and councils over the years and have tremendous apprecia-tion for the contribu-tions each has made to the City’s sustainability and the quality of life enjoyed by its resi-dents.”
Staudt notes the city’s Asset Manage-ment Plan was one of the most significant ac-complishments during his tenure because it will help prioritize in-
frastructure projects. Other significant proj-ects Staudt is proud of includes the recent an-nouncement of $2.8 million in government gas tax funding for the Idlewild Rehabilitation project, the completion of the new fire hall and training centre, and the successful resolution of a number of legal cases.
During his time as Director of Finance, Staudt’s accomplish-ments included the ter-mination of the P3 agreement with Keen Rose at the Rec Plex, construction of the new library, the new air ter-minal building and the expansion of the run-
way at the Canadian Rockies International Airport and leading the city’s budgeting process for a decade.
“One person can’t accomplish much on his own,” said Staudt, “so the success I have enjoyed at the City is due to the significant contributions of Coun-cil and staff at all levels.”
At a regular city council meeting on Monday, Mayor Lee Pratt and his fellow councillors took time to acknowledge Staudt for his service to the city.
“Wayne’s knowledge of city affairs and legis-lative procedure were very helpful to us in some of the decisions
“So far we are not seeing a pattern. There has been quite a bit of activity around Christina Lake and Grand Forks.”
However, Ritcey says it is definitely time to start thinking about attractants.
“You definitely don’t want a bear’s first meal after hibernation to be one you provided. I liken it to walking by a park bench and finding a $100 bill. You are going to check under that park bench every time you go by it. Bears are like that. If they get fed, they go back.
“We’re getting into spring. You want to take down your bird feeders, store your garbage safe-ly, put pet food away. If you do feed your pet outside, make sure the food is put away after.”
Ritcey says that when bears first come out they are looking for fresh grass.
“Wherever you have grass greening up early, like on south-facing slopes, keep an eye out for bear sign. It’s time to start being cautious.”

CONTINUED from page 1 we made over the past year,” said Pratt. “Wayne’s patience and understanding was in-valuable to us in many ways. I have enjoyed working with him. We wish Wayne all the best in his retirement activi-ties along with good health an happiness.”
Staudt said he is an-ticipating his retirement and joked that even though he won’t be at city hall, he will still have his eyes on coun-
cil.“It’s really been an
honour to work with you and I really enjoyed it,” Staudt said. “You have an excellent mayor and council and you’ve got an excellent staff. I think the city is in great hands and I’m looking forward to my retire-ment.
“I’ll be watching you and if you ever need any free advice, give me a call. I’ll be happy to help anybody at any time.”

Opening the National People’s Con-gress in Beijing last Saturday, Prime Minis-ter Li Keqiang set China’s growth target for the coming year at 6.5-7 percent, the low-est in decades. Only two years ago, he said that 7 percent was the lowest acceptable growth rate, but he has had to eat his words. He really isn’t in charge of very much any more.
The man who is taking charge of every-thing, President Xi Jinping, is now turning into the first one-man regime since Deng Xiaoping in the 1980s. The “collective leader-ship” of recent decades has be-come a fiction, and Xi’s per-sonality cult is being vigorous-ly promoted in the state-con-trolled media.
Xi has also broken the truce between the two major factions in the Chi-nese Communist Party, who might be called the “princelings” and the “popu-lists”. Xi, as the son of a Communist Party revolutionary hero who ended up as vice-premier, is princeling to the core. His centralising, authoritarian style is typical of this privileged breed.
The populists, like Li Keqiang, are gen-erally people who grew up poor, usually in the interior, not in the prosperous coastal cities. They rose to prominence more by merit than by their connections, and they are more alert to the needs of vulnerable social groups like farmers, migrant work-ers and the urban poor. Most of them have come up through the Communist Youth League, and are known in Chinese as tuan-pai (“the League faction”).
Frightened by the non-violent demon-strations that challenged the Communist Party’s monopoly of power in 1989, for al-most three decades these two factions have carefully shared power and never at-tacked each other in public. Xi has now broken that non-aggression pact, authoris-
ing open attacks on the “mentality” of the Communist Youth League in the media.
The friction between the factions has grown so great mainly because the Chi-nese economy is stumbling towards a cri-sis. Neither faction has a convincing strate-gy for avoiding the crisis, but each has come to believe that the other’s political style – authoritarian for the princelings, populist for the tuanpai – will make mat-ters worse.
The Communist Par-ty’s dictatorship is founded on an unspo-ken contract with the population: we will pro-vide constantly rising living standards, and in return you will not question our authority.
But no economy can grow at 10 percent a year forever, or even at the currently adver-tised rate of 6.5-7 percent.
In fact, China’s growth rate actually col-lapsed about seven years ago, but it has so far been hidden by a binge of debt-fuelled investment. When most of the world went into a deep recession after the financial crisis of 2008, the Chinese regime artificial-ly kept the country’s growth rate up by raising the proportion of GDP devoted to investment in infrastructure to an incredi-ble 50 percent.
In the following five years, China was building a new skyscraper every five days. It built more than 30 new airports, subway systems in 25 cities, the three longest bridges in the world, more than 10,000 km (6,000 miles) of high-speed railway lines, and 40,000 km. (26,000) miles of freeways. Tens of thousands of high-rise residential towers went up around every city.
But the new towers remain largely empty, as do many of the freeways. These are investments that produced jobs at the time, but will not produce an adequate re-
turn on investment for many years, if ever. And to finance all this, the government let the country’s debt burden explode, from around 125 percent of GDP in 2009 to 220 percent now.
All of this investment has been counted in the GDP figures, but up to half of it, or maybe even more, is bad debts that will eventually have to be written off. If only half of it is bad debts, then China’s GDP growth in the past five years has really been around 2 percent, not 7-8 percent.
The crisis can be disguised for a while longer by printing more money, which the regime is doing. But that is putting down-ward pressure on China’s currency, the yuan, which is currently over-valued by around 15-20 percent. Devaluation would give a temporary boost to China’s exports, but it could also trigger an international trade war that would drag everybody’s economy down.
So at the moment China is spending $90 billion in foreign exchange each month to keep the value of the yuan up, but even with its immense foreign exchange re-serves that is an unsustainable long-term policy. Sooner or later there is going to be a “hard landing”, and the regime’s very survival may be at risk.
There is no evidence that President Xi Jinping has a better strategy for mastering this crisis than the rival faction, but the storm is obviously approaching and he is battening down the hatches.
In his view, that means taking absolute power and building a personality cult of a sort that has not been seen in China since the demise of Mao Tse-tung. He is certain-ly not a vicious megalomaniac like Mao, but he clearly believes that he will need total control to get through the storm with-out a shipwreck.

The Central Divi-sion-leading Lethbridge Hurricanes provide a tall enough task for the Koo-tenay Ice on the best of nights this season. Tues-day at Western Financial Place, the Ice took on the challenge of only having nine healthy forwards to deploy against the high-flying Hurricanes.
There wasn’t much an overpowered and outnumbered group could do but hang on for dear life.
When the ride was finally over, the Hurri-canes skated away with a 7-2 victory.
“It’s a pretty remark-able challenge, there’s no question,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, fol-lowing Tuesday’s loss. “I don’t think it matters who you are, what play-ers they are — that number of bodies… it’s pretty next to impossi-ble to compete.
“But there were some simple mistakes that have nothing to do with a lack of bodies or fa-tigue, just things we have to get better at.”
Tanner Lishchynsky and Max Patterson pro-vided scoring for the Ice, while Cory Millette, Gi-orgio Estephan, Jordy Bellerive, Ryan Vanderv-lis, Arvin Atwal and Tyler Wong responded for the Hurricanes.
Between the pipes, Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin did all he could for as long as he could, turning aside 36 of the 43 pucks sent his way. At the other end, Stuart Skinner made 24 saves for his career-high 25th victory of the campaign.
“We just got pucks deep,” said Vandervlis, who finished the night with a goal and two as-sists to his credit. “We got down 1-0 but we stuck to our game plan, got on the body and threw pucks at the net.”
Despite the lack of
bodies, the Ice battled to keep the contest within reach up until the last moment of the second period.
After two great scor-ing chances for the Ice courtesy Zak Zborosky and Vince Loschiavo, the Hurricanes picked up the puck after Los-chiavo’s attempt missed high.
Brayden Burke lugged it the length of the ice before feeding Vandervlis, who depos-ited it off the odd-man rush with less than a second remaining in the period.
Two missed oppor-tunities at one end com-pounded with capitaliz-ing at the other, and the Hurricanes took a 4-1 advantage to the dress-ing room after 40 min-utes of play.
“The whole game can be summed up in what-ifs,” Pierce said. “What if we score on that 2-on-1 at the net? What if we score on a couple great chances on the power play? What if we get out of the first period 1-1? What if we make a better play on that 2-on-1 with point whatever seconds left? Or back it up six seconds and hit the net, have a faceoff in their end — now you’re out of the [second] period 3-1 and you’re starting to press.
“You can say, ‘What if you had more players?’ But it doesn’t do us any good.”
Midway through the third period, Patterson pulled the Ice back within a pair after send-ing a quick shot from the slow slot past Skin-ner to make it 4-2.
“They play fast, phys-ical and strong,” Patter-son said of the Hurri-canes. “We need to play smarter in order to play with them through a 60-minute game.
“You can’t take win-ning for granted. Every night it’s going to be a
battle. Every game, you need to play your best.”
But the boost was brief as Bellerive tallied his second of the night only 55 seconds later to restore the three-goal advantage and kickstart the onslaught.
Atwal scored exactly 60 seconds later to make it 6-2 and Wong piled on less than two minutes after that to push the score to 7-2.
Lishchynsky opened the scoring, sending a rebound high over the shoulder of Skinner for a 1-0 Ice lead.
From there, the un-dermanned home team did all it could to build energy early in the pro-ceedings.
Off the ensuing fa-ceoff, Carter Folk skated in alone on Hoflin, who laid out for a critical save to preserve the one-goal lead.
Moments later, Mario Grman levelled Folk with a heavy, clean hit at centre ice.
Coming to his team-mate’s aid, Brady Reagan dropped the mitts, en-gaging in a spirited tilt with the Ice import. The two went blow for blow over an extended scrap before Reagan landed a heavy shot to drop Grman, who immediate-ly left via the tunnel. Grman missed a few shifts, but returned to ac-tion later in the period.
After giving it a go late in the first period, Grman was ultimately unable to continue, leaving Pierce under-manned on the blueline for the final 40 minutes of the night.
“It was just his nose as far as I could tell,” Pierce said. “But man, that kid is a warrior. He is a tough kid. Give him credit — he came back out and tried to play, I think he tried three or four shifts, but he couldn’t breathe. Pretty tough to play, but give him credit for trying.
“In the situation we’re in, I think some lesser men probably would have shut it down, but he did every-thing he could to play.”
As the period wore on, the Hurricanes took a hold of puck posses-sion and turned the game in their favour.
Hoflin was able to swallow up a few good scoring opportunities, including a great one from the slot courtesy Wong, but eventually Millette parked himself on the doorstep and re-directed a Vandervlis shot from the circle to tie the game 1-1.
The Hurricanes took the lead 2:30 after Mil-lette tied it, as Estephan forced a turnover at the Ice blueline. Collecting the loose rubber, the Buffalo Sabres’ prospect skated in alone on Hof-lin and burned a hot wrist shot to the back of the net for a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes.
With the win, the Hurricanes improved to 44-21-1-1 on the season, remaining three points
ahead of the Red Deer Rebels (42-22-1-2) for first place in the WHL’s Central Division.
Next up, the Hurri-canes and Rebels meet in a home-and-home this weekend that will weigh heavily into the outcome atop the divi-sion.
“We’re not really wor-rying about the other teams we’re in that race with,” Vandervlis said. “We’re just focusing on our own game… We can only control our own destiny, so as long as we’re not worrying too much about what they’re doing and just worrying about our game, we’ll be fine.
“[The home-and-home] is huge, but at the same time, it’s just an-other two hockey games. We’re still three points up on them, so we’re in a good spot going in. We know if we play our game, we’ll be fine.”
For the Ice, Tuesday’s loss drops the squad to a WHL-worst 10-51-6-0. Next on the docket is a home-and-home with
the Medicine Hat Tigers (26-35-3-2) beginning on the road Friday, be-fore returning to West-ern Financial Place Sat-urday.
Notes: Kootenay Ice RW Austin Gray (illness) returned to the lineup after missing six games… The Ice were without the services of D Troy Mur-ray (neck), RW Roman Dymacek (lower body), RW Jaedon Descheneau (shoulder), RW Austin Wellsby (upper body), C
Matt Alfaro (upper body) and C Dylan Stewart (concussion)… Alfaro spent his third consecu-tive game behind the bench as an assistant coach… The Hurricanes went without D Calen Addison, D Nick Watson, LW Egor Babenko (upper body) and C Justin Guti-errez (upper body)… 1,786 was the an-nounced attendance on 2-for-1 Tuesday at West-ern Financial Place in Cranbrook…

Dynamiters forward Franco Colapaolo (#14) was a late entry into the lineup Tuesday night and fate had it right as the 20-year-old forward registered a goal and an assist to help boost his team to a 5-2 victory over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats in KIJHL playoff action.

With the Kimberley Dynamiters looking for a stranglehold on their best-of-seven Eddie Mountain Division final with the Creston Valley Thunder Cats, 20-year-old veteran Franco Co-lapaolo almost didn’t play.
In fact, he was pre-pared to be a healthy scratch after not taking the warmup ahead of Game 3 at the Johnny Bucyk Arena in Creston.
To this point in the post-season, that might not be a surprise to most Dynamiters fans, with Colapaolo only having skated in three games prior to Tuesday, all of which came during the first round against the Fernie Ghostriders.
But sometimes fate has different plans.
After forward Keenan Haase took warmups and was unable to fight through a nagging inju-ry, Colapaolo was a late addition to the lineup Tuesday night and the move paid off in spades as the Calgary native posted a goal and an as-sist to boost the Dyna-miters to a 5-2 victory and 3-0 series lead over the Thunder Cats.
“It’s a great lesson for people. [Colapaolo is] one of those kids, when you told him he wasn’t going to play, you knew
you were talking to a man,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kim-berley Dynamiters, over the phone from Creston following Tuesday’s win. “He looked you in the eye, went to the gym and did his workouts. He stayed positive and skat-ed a couple times with some old-timers be-cause we didn’t have ice. He did everything well.
“He didn’t even get to warm up [Tuesday]… He sat in the dressing room with his gear on and when he got the chance, he came through for us. It’s a credit to his character, how he handled the whole thing.”
The 5-foot-10, 180-pound Colapaolo tallied the insurance marker, while Brodie Buhler, Jared Marchi and Aus-tyn Moser provided the rest of the offense, help-ing the Dynamiters to a five-goal offensive out-burst in a series that had only seen six total goals scored between both clubs through Games 1 and 2.
Carson Cartwright and Alec Wilkinson re-sponded for the Thun-der Cats, but not until midway through the third period as the Ni-tros sat with a comfort-able 5-0 lead.
Between the pipes, Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brouwer made 29 saves for his seventh vic-
tory of the post-season, while Thunder Cats net-minder Brock Lefebvre was victimized five times on 25 shots.
With the win, the Dy-namiters have an op-portunity to sweep the Eddie Mountain Divi-sion final Wednesday night (7:30 p.m.) as Game 4 is scheduled to go at the Johnny Bucyk Arena in Creston.
Outside of Colapa-olo’s fateful evening, the Dynamiters were pow-ered by veteran Kimber-ley product Marchi, who registered two goals.
“This was his best game of the series, for sure,” Bancks said of the 20-year-old Marchi. “He logs pretty big minutes. He did a great job and it’s nice to see him get rewarded.”
Buhler opened the scoring in the first peri-od before Marchi scored consecutively in the sec-ond period to extend the visitors’ lead to 3-0. Colapaolo added his first goal of the post-sea-son with 6:45 remaining in the second period.
Moser rounded out the Nitros scoring only 1:10 into the third peri-od, and that was more than enough to take care of business.
Taking a 3-0 series lead is familiar territory for the Dynamiters. In the division semifinal against the Ghostriders, the Nitros also vaulted
ahead 3-0 before drop-ping a Game 4 opportu-nity to sweep.
“Fernie taught us a great lesson,” Bancks said. “We went into that fourth game thinking they’re going to lay down and die. I can promise you, there’s somebody in Fernie’s dressing room that wasn’t going to allow that to happen and got the boys going.
“I’m fairly certain Creston will be the same way [Wednesday] night. It will be the toughest game of the series, for sure.”

Lions star WR Calvin Johnson retireslarry l age
Associated Press
DETROIT - Calvin Johnson has retired.
The 30-year-old re-ceiver announced his decision Tuesday to walk away from the NFL after nine spectacular seasons with the Detroit Lions.
“Let me assure you that this was not an easy or hasty decision,” John-son said. “As I stated, I, along with those closest to me, have put a lot of time, deliberation and prayer into this decision and I truly am at peace with it.”
The 6-foot-5 Johnson
had 88 receptions for 1,214 yards and nine touchdowns last season. He has 731 career recep-tions for 11,619 yards and 83 TDs. Johnson broke one of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice’s re-cords with 1,964 yards receiving in 2012.
Johnson leaves De-troit in a fashion similar to Hall of Famer Barry Sanders, who slipped away shortly before the 1999 season after he had 1,491 yards rushing as a 30-year-old running back the previous year.
“Let me begin by
apologizing for making this announcement via a statement and not in person,” Johnson said via release. “While I truly respect the significance of this, those who know me best will understand and not be surprised that I choose not to have a press conference for this announcement.
“After much prayer, thought and discussion with loved ones, I have made the difficult deci-sion to retire from the Lions and pro football. I have played my last game of football.”

MOSCOW - Two of Maria Sharapova’s major sponsors are cut-ting ties with the Rus-sian tennis star after she acknowledged failing a doping test at the Aus-tralian Open.
Sportswear giant Nike and Swiss watch brand Tag Heuer moved quickly to distance themselves from the five-time Grand Slam winner after she an-nounced the positive test at a news conference in Los Angeles on Monday.
TAG Heuer said its deal with Sharapova will not be renewed. The sponsorship expired at
the end of 2015 and ex-tension discussions had been taking place.
Sharapova said she failed a doping test at the Australian Open in Janu-ary for the little-known drug meldonium, which became a banned sub-stance under the World Anti-Doping Agency code this year. The for-mer world No. 1 took full responsibility for her mistake and could face a lengthy ban from the In-ternational Tennis Fed-eration, possibly ending her season and prevent-ing her from competing for Russia at the Olym-pics in Rio de Janeiro.
“I know that with this, I face consequenc-es,” Sharapova said. “I don’t want to end my
career this way, and I really hope I will be given another chance to play this game.”
The 28-year-old Sharapova said she has been taking meldonium, a blood flow-promoting drug, for 10 years for nu-merous health issues. Meldonium was banned because it aids oxygen uptake and endurance, and several athletes across international sports have already been caught using it.
Sharapova and all players were notified of changes in the WADA banned substances list in December. Sharapova claimed she missed the change, neglecting to click on the link.
“I take great responsi-
bility and professional-ism in my job, and I made a huge mistake,” Sharapova said. “I let my fans down. I let the sport down that I’ve been playing since the age of 4, that I love so deeply.”
Sharapova is one of the top female players of her generation, with 35 career singles titles and over $36 million in ca-reer earnings. That earn-ing potential is thought to be dwarfed by earn-ings she generates from her commercial appeal.
Sharapova is thought to be the world’s high-est-paid female athlete due to endorsement deals and business ven-tures. Forbes estimated her earnings at $29.5 million for 2015.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might start the day slug-gishly, but by the afternoon your low energy will develop into unusually high enthusi-asm. Getting some extra R and R only adds to your energy. You could feel the need to push past a restriction later in the day. To-night: As you like it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Use the period before lunch for handling key matters. You have enough energy to encourage others to join you in an im-portant project. You might hear some disagreement, but know that any feedback only helps you strengthen your position. Tonight: Catch some zzz’s. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Handle an important work mat-ter in the morning. Others will respond well to your efforts. By midafternoon, you will discover that you are heading toward success. A partner might be less argumentative than usual. Seize the moment. Tonight: Others seem extra willing to please.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to do more research than you normally do on a key matter this morning. However, others could be en-couraging you to take action. You’ll need to follow your in-stincts, because they usually point you in the right direction. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Spend time with an important friend who means a lot to you. You might hear news that sets your mind adrift and that en-courages you to look beyond your immediate surrounding. An offer could be heading your way that seems too good to be true. Tonight: Opt for different. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to someone you care a lot about. This person could be an associate you often socialize with on a somewhat superficial level. Your efforts will be appre-ciated deeply. This person trea-sures the feedback you offer. Tonight: Opt for the individual, not for the crowd. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Get as much done in the morn-
ing as you can. What you’ll discover is how much you are capable of doing. Squeeze in some time for networking. Re-turn some calls. Communication takes a higher priority as the afternoon passes. Tonight: Don’t stand on ceremony. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have more energy than you might believe. You also could be full of ideas. Interactions will take on a lively yet efficient tone later in the day. Someone wants to tap into your creativity to find some answers. Be supportive. Tonight: Get some exercise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could find it hard to spend too much time at home, even if you have a home-based business. Try to schedule a late lunch with a friend or get into a pastime that you really enjoy. You’ll discover the power of a breath of fresh air. Tonight: Go along with a playful idea. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your ability to move past a difficult situation emerges in the morning. You might try to patch up a squabble, perhaps
one that doesn’t even involve you. You could see more of the psychological mechanisms at work than others do. Tonight: Visit with a fiery individual. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will continue to deal with a financial situation, but by the afternoon you’ll want to bring others together for a meeting or get-together. The sooner you are able to talk out a situation, the better you will feel. Do not stand on ceremony. Tonight: At a local spot. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Quickly handle what you can in the morning. Though you might not get a decision, you will hear news that makes you smile. Be careful with spending. Don’t spend before you receive the check or before the funds clear. Tonight: Let someone else pick up the tab. BORN TODAY Chess Grandmaster Bobby Fischer (1943), cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (1934), author Mickey Spillane (1918) ***
Dear Annie: I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease five years ago during an annual physical at the age of 79. I did not have hypertension, diabetes or a family history of kidney disease -- the distinctive risk factors for kidney disease -- although my age should have been a red flag. Looking back on my medical history, it turns out my kidney numbers were abnormal for some time. I was told that the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may have caused my kidney damage. It was a surprise to me that such a common drug did more harm than good. Since then, I’ve stopped the use of NSAIDs, but I feel many other people might be in the same boat I was in. I hope you can spread the word to help others keep their kidneys healthy. -- Better Now Dear Better: Thank you for the information. NSAIDs (such as aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Celebrex and other commonly used pain relievers) don’t generally pose a problem for most people who use them in small doses on occasion. But there can be side effects, especially if you use the drugs for weeks at a time. They can cause bleeding ulcers, fluid retention, rashes, and kidney and heart problems. If you are taking any anti-inflammatory, over-the-counter drugs, please let your doctor know. Kidney disease often goes undetected, because symptoms may not appear until the kidneys are close to failure. The good news is that early detection and proper treatment can slow the progression of kidney disease. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, a family history of kidney failure or are over the age of 60, you should get your kidneys checked. March is National Kidney Month and March 10 is World Kidney Day. The National Kidney Foundation urges readers to be proactive with their health. To learn more, visit www.kidney.org. Dear Annie: Your response to “Sick of Men Complaining” was right on. She said no matter what meal she prepares for her husband, he always finds something to criticize about it. Aside from pointing out that she seems to have a predilection for picking out men she cannot possibly please, you told her to inform him that he can cook his own meals if hers are not to his liking. If my wife prepared an elegant meal for me and I complained about it like that, you can be sure she would tell me where to go. She also would inform me that from now on, I would be cooking my own food. And she would have followed through on that. Her straightforward confidence makes me appreciate the wonderful wife and mother that she is. -- Pretty Darn Happy in New Mexico Dear New Mexico: We are delighted to hear from someone who appreciates his spouse and the efforts she puts into their meals, and more important, thinks her direct and honest attitude is something to be admired. We trust she returns the same level of respect. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

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

TORONTO - Researchers have developed a tool that can predict whether a child or teen with a newly diagnosed concussion is likely to have symptoms that will persist longer than usual, giving them the opportunity to see a specialist sooner.
The predictive tool was devel-oped and validated by pediatric specialists across Canada in a study that involved about 3,000 children and adolescents who had suffered a concussion, pri-marily while playing sports or as the result of a fall or a motor vehi-cle accident.
Principal investigator Dr. Roger Zemek said the first ques-tion parents ask when their child or teen is diagnosed with a con-cussion at a hospital emergency department is: “When is my child going to get better?”
“And we did not have the an-swer to that,” Zemek, an emer-gency medicine physician at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), said Tuesday from Ottawa.
But with the study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, doctors will now be able to give parents an answer, based on a predictive score from a series of questions developed by the researchers.
Those who score between nine and 12 on the evaluation -
including whether they have headaches, are bothered by loud noise and have poor balance - are considered to be at high risk for experiencing “persistent post-concussion symptoms,” a condition that in some cases can last several months - or even lon-ger.
“It really can remove kids from the things they want, need and love to do,” Zemek said of a con-cussion. “They can’t perhaps go to the movies with their friends because the loud noises are both-ering them.
“They can’t go to school and take exams and perhaps even ad-vance to the next grade because they’ve missed so many weeks of class ... They’re not allowed to go back to sports because of the risk of getting another (concussion) until they’re fully recovered.”
The study found that although more boys suffer concussions, girls have twice the risk of having persistent post-concussion symptoms, while older children and teens are also more likely to take longer to get better than chil-dren under eight.
Zemek said there are a num-ber of theories as to why a higher proportion of girls have ongoing symptoms.
Girls’ neck muscles are typi-cally less developed than those of boys, which could mean females experience a greater whiplash force during a fall or a sports-re-
lated collision that results in more damage to the brain. The differ-ent female and male sex hor-mones may also play varying roles in helping the brain to heal, and females may be more aware as well as more forthcoming than males about lingering symptoms, he added.
Jenna Pietrantonio, 19, who suffered a concussion two years ago after colliding with an oppos-ing player during a competitive hockey game, was among those in the study whose symptoms continued long past the time she would have expected.
Headaches, nausea, dizziness, neck pain, and light and noise sensitivity kept her out of school. The Ottawa teen had to avoid any stimuli, the standard initial treat-ment to help the brain heal.
“I had to be in a dark room. I was in my room with no lights, no friends, no family, no electronics, no nothing for about close to two months,” she said. “So being iso-lated definitely brought on a lot of depression.”
Had the predictive tool been available at the time of her con-cussion, it could have helped her family - “they had to put up with me a lot” - and her doctor by helping figure out what therapies she should have pursued and which ones to avoid.
“It could have been extremely helpful,” said Pietrantonio.”
