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.

Perhaps the reason is iron de� -ciency, the most prevalent nutrient de� ciency worldwide. Iron de� ciency is the leading cause of fatigue among women between the time of menstruation and menopause. It is estimated that up to 26% of menstruating women are iron de� cient.Women of childbearing age and adolescent girls need to regularly replace the iron that is eliminated through monthly blood loss.

Ultra EPA delivers 1000 mg of EPA per capsule making it the strongest EPA fish oil on the market. EPA is especially effective at lowering inflammation throughout the body as well as lowering triglycerides.Ultra EPA is formulated to supply the Omega 3 fatty acid EPA which is often defi-cient in the Canadian diet. It works to promote heart health, protect the cardiovas-cular system and helps to reduce inflammation.Ultra EPA contains the Omega 3 fatty acid EPA from cold water fish, which is an es-sential fatty acids (EFA). The body cannot produce EFA’s, so they must be ingested from food sources such as cold water fish. The Canadian diet is often deficient in

EFA’s, so it is vital for your health to ensure adequate intake through supplementation.EFA’s have many functions within the body, EPA in particular has been shown in studies to be effec-tive for a number of different conditions including Asthma, Arthritis, Depression and Heart Disease. Depending on your diet, Ultra EPA can have varying effects. Consuming EFA’s on a daily basis can help balance the body and improve the symptoms of conditions such as: high cholesterol, cardiovascular concerns, arthritis and inflammation, constipation, dry skin, hair and nails, weight issues (both weight gain and weight loss), weak immunity and autoimmune disorders, poor memory and concentration, fatigue, PMS and hormonal imbalances, digestive difficulties and leaky gut, insulin resistance and blood sugar imbalances. EFA’s can also elevate your mood and improve recovery time after exercising.

Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Ser-vices responded to a fast moving grass fire Wednesday afternoon, March 27, threatening nearby homes.

At approximately 2:30 p.m., Cran-brook Fire and Emergency Services attended the scene of the out-of-con-trol grass fire, below the Gold Creek store in Area C.

Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services responded with six members and three apparatus including the bush truck.

A resident was burning off grass on a lot in light winds in the morning, when the wind quickly strengthened

driving the flames across three lots, threatening some homes and sheds in the area.

The fire totalled approximately five hectares in size and resulted in mini-mal property loss.

Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Ser-vices would like to take this opportu-nity to remind residents that burning of yard and garden waste within the City of Cranbrook limits is prohibit-ed.

Residents in Area C are reminded to exercise caution when doing any burning.

Conditions this early in the spring are already very dry.

The Kin Club of Cranbrook has been given a leg-up by the provincial government with a $25,000 community gaming grant.

Kootenay East MLA Bill Ben-nett presented the grant last Wednesday, March 27.

“The Kin Club here in Cran-brook has provided our commu-nity with immeasurable oppor-

tunities. They are dedicated to serving our community’s great-est needs as well as providing our area with community build-ing events, such as the free pub-lic skating, which we have en-joyed over the past twenty years,” said Bennett.

The Kin Club will use the grant to fund its annual free public skate, as well as scholar-ships.

“The gaming money means a great deal to our Kin Club and the community,” said president Mike Paugh. “The most visible benefit from the gaming funds is the annual free public skating that we have been running for more than twenty years. But, be-hind the scenes we provide four scholarships and bursaries, and many miscellaneous donations throughout our community.”

Seeking answers after a Highway 95 crash that killed three men near Brisco in early 2011, a three-day BC Coroners Service inquest wrapped up in Invermere on Wednesday, March 29.

Nearly 20 witnesses were called over the course of the inquest, which produced four recommendations:

• In the future, if the Trans Canada Highway is closed for any length of time and Highway 95 is used as the alternate route, Highway 95 should be deemed a Class A highway.

• An acceleration and deceleration lane should be built at the Spillim-acheen rest area.

• Considering the location of High-way 95, the speed limit should be re-duced to 90 kilometres per hour be-tween Golden and Radium.

• When Highway 95 is used as an alternate route, portable road infor-mation signs should be placed south of Golden and north of Radium Hot Springs.

Before taking their leave, the jury heard presiding coroner Chico New-ell’s thoughts on the matter. He sug-gested more public awareness cam-paigns around winter highway driving and a further study on the impacts of re-routing Trans Canada Highway traffic could help prevent another ac-

cident like the one that ocurred on January 19, 2011.

Chul Lee, Kwang Cha and Chungjic Koh were tragically killed when their southbound sedan was struck first by a logging truck, then by a Super B trac-tor trailer.

The accident took place during an average winter day, with cold and clear weather and compact snow on the highway. At the time, avalanche control being carried out on the Trans Canada Highway meant significant traffic volumes were diverted onto Highway 95.

Taking the stand on Tuesday, March 26, commercial vehicle in-spector Ken Squarebriggs described the scene he witnessed as he came upon the scene while en route to Golden.

The driver’s side of a 1996 Oldsmo-bile sedan was folded in, with the steering column pushed onto the pas-senger side of the vehicle, he said. A rotor was also destroyed.

“It takes a lot of direct, straight impact to break a rotor like that,” he said.

An inquest is a formal court pro-cess that allows for public presenta-tion of evidence relating to a death, in which the goal is not to find blame, but to shed light on how to prevent futrure accidents.

OYAMA, B.C. — Two cougars have been shot and killed in the Okanagan, including one prowling near a daycare in the community of Winfield, B.C.

Conservation officers tracked and destroyed both cougars on Wednes-day.

The first animal was put down in Oyama, 22 kilometres south of Ver-non, after stealing goats and sheep from a local farmyard.

Conservation officer Ed Seitz says

the second cougar was spotted by children at a daycare just over 10 kilo-metres north of the first sighting.

He says the animal was young, and he notes juvenile cougars are more likely to be shot because they haven’t successfully learned to survive on their own.

Seitz points to an increasing num-ber of cougar sightings around Lake Country and speculates populations of the usually shy and elusive cats are on the rise.

With the City of Kim-berley having now ap-plied for a 48-hour trial permit to see how haz-ing might work in deal-ing with habituated deer within city limits, the question being asked is, what exactly is hazing?

Hazing may not be quite the correct term, said Coun. Darryl Oak-ley, who is the council liaison to the deer man-agement committee.

“A better term would be ‘aversive condition-ing’,” Oakley said.

Aversive condition-ing has been used in the Banff townsite since 2000 to deal with the elk population. It has also been used in Jasper on elk, and in Waterton on mule deer.

Simply put, dogs, under control of their handler at all times, drive deer out of town, or the human zone, into the non-human zone away from town. When they have the deer in an area well away from

town, the dogs are called off.

“The dogs create pressure on the ungu-lates in the human zone and then release it when the deer are out of the human zone,” Oakley said. “These dogs are ex-tremely well trained. It’s all they’ve ever done.”

John Zehnder of In-vermere has worked on aversive conditioning in all three of the commu-nities, and he is the dog handler who visited Kimberley and present-ed to the deer commit-tee.

“He has toured Kim-berley and found sever-al areas where he be-lieves the aversive con-ditioning would work, like Marysville,” Oakley said. “The deer have pathways they will take to move in and out of town. John will identify those pathways, then the dogs drive the deer out of Marysville and down into the valley, then they let them go.”

Repeatedly being driven out of town and

Kimberley ponders ‘aversive conditioning’ urban deer

into the same spot teaches the deer that they will be harassed in town, but are safe in the non-human zone.

“Waterton is about the size of Marysville. John would come in with his dogs and he’d have the deer moved out of town in about 20 minutes. With repeti-

tion, it got to the point that the deer would start to move as soon as they saw John’s truck.”

The first application to the government is asking for a 48-hour trial

permit only. Obviously, that’s not enough to condition the deer, Oak-ley says, but he hopes it will be enough to demonstrate to Ministry of Environment people

that it is possible to move deer out of town with a professional han-dler and his dogs.

“The 48 hours is just a demo for govern-ment,” he said. “Before we apply for the big piece that will allow an aversive conditioning program, they have to see it.”

Oakley is hopeful the Ministry will approve a more extensive hazing program, and that it can occur before fawning this spring. The aversive conditioning occurs every day for about five or six weeks.

“We do need to get them out of town before fawning. If they have their fawns out of town, they are more likely to stay out.”

Oakley also stresses that aversive condition-ing is only a piece of an overall plan to control the deer population.

“The aversive condi-tioning deals with habit-uated animals; it’s not population control. Trapping emulates pre-dation which is not here.”

Happy April Fools Day! Lucky for you, we are not going to trick with you a wacky news story that we have made up – although it’s awfully tempt-

ing to pass up on the one day of the year when we can embellish the truth.

Still, what kind of newspaper would we be if we failed to even acknowledge April Fools Day? You’d be questioning every ar-ticle in today’s paper, looking for the one that stands out as a little too far-fetched.

So instead, let’s take a look at some of the best pranks people have fallen prey to over recent years, according to the World Wide Internets.

Tech companies like to get onboard with April Fools Day. Google in particular has crafted some clever pranks over the years.

In 2011, Google announced that people with Gmail accounts could now choose a “sent” time on each email they compose – including times in the past. So, for exam-ple, if you woke up at 3 a.m. realizing you had missed your sister’s birthday, you could quickly dash off an email and select the sent time as, say, 6 p.m. the previous night. It’s a genius idea, but sadly, time-travelling emails are still a figment of our imagination.

Also in 2011, Google UK “released” on April 1 a program that could translate ani-mal-speak into English. So when your dog

starts barking inexplicably, you simply press a button on your smart phone, hold it up to the animal’s mouth, and listen as the dog explains what the problem is.

Last April Fools Day, Google Australia said it had found a solution to mapping the vast expanses of the Australian out-back. It would strap wireless cameras to the heads of kangaroos which would au-tomatically upload street view footage of the desert.

This year, Google pranked the world through YouTube, which it now owns. Over the weekend, YouTube announced that it would be shutting down, as it was actually just an elaborate eight-year talent contest to find the world’s best home video. The winner will be announced in 10 years, they said. It’s a little far-fetched, but the world’s best home video is surely to be found on YouTube – if only you could sit through all the baby’s-first-bath and dog-has-a-bone videos to find it.

In the world of newspapers, The Guard-ian newspaper out of the U.K. announced in 2009 that it would cease being a print newspaper. That part is not very far-fetched. What raised a red flag was the subsequent announcement that The Guardian would produce the news solely in 140-character Twitter posts. That prank is one to make us journalists shudder.

A particularly classic April Fools prank was produced by fast-food chain Taco Bell back in 1996. It announced that it had pur-chased the U.S. Independence artifact the

Liberty Bell, and was consequently renam-ing it the Taco Liberty Bell.

When it comes to personal pranks, my favourite is the story of a young woman who got married about a week before April Fools Day with an officiant. A couple of days after the ceremony, the woman filed her marriage certificate at city hall to have the marriage officially registered.

Then on April Fools Day, as the couple were preparing to leave for their honey-moon, she receives a call from city hall – it shows up on call display as the appropri-ate number. A clerk tells the woman that her marriage is not legal and travelling under her married name would consti-tute fraud.

The frazzled couple rush to city hall, where clerks know nothing about it and reassure that their marriage is legitimate.

Turns out the woman’s brother had gone to the effort of buying a device that changes the source phone number on an outgoing call, as well as a voice alteration device – all to prank his unsuspecting sis-ter as she was about to leave on her honey-moon.

It’s enough to make me thank my lucky stars I don’t have a brother!

Whatever mischief you have played or been subject to today, we hope that every-body enjoys a good laugh this April Fools Day.

VICTORIA — Monday marks British Columbia’s offi-cial return to the provincial sales tax after an almost five-year crash-and-burn relation-ship with the harmonized sales tax.

Introduced in 2009 as a sav-iour for business, but rejected in a historic peoples referen-dum in August 2011, the HST managed to cling to the prov-ince’s political, social and business fabric until now — taking with it former premier Gordon Campbell and possi-bly the current Liberal govern-ment of Premier Christy Clark as victims.

British Columbians go to the polls on May 14, with the Opposition New Democrats, who called the HST a $2 bil-lion transfer of wealth from consumers to businesses, ex-pected to form the next gov-ernment.

Businesses are now grudg-ingly forced to return to the former seven per-cent PST after taking the past two-and-a-half years getting used to the simplified, value-added HST, which combined the five-per-cent federal goods and services tax with the PST.

Former B.C. finance minis-ter Kevin Falcon once referred to the PST as a “stupid tax,’’ for its complications and exemp-tions, but he was one of many

Liberals quick to admit the government employed a bone-headed strategy to sell the HST to British Columbians.

Barely three months after winning its third consecutive term in May 2009, Campbell’s Liberal government an-nounced it had accepted Otta-wa’s $1.6 billion offer to move to a harmonized federal-pro-vincial tax system.

The announcement was viewed with skepticism, espe-cially since B.C. had consis-tently rejected previous federal offers to move to the an HST.

The federal cash offer and the potential gold mine for business now appealed to Campbell’s Liberals who were virtually silent on the HST in the past, but now faced a mas-sive budget deficit voters didn’t know about during the election campaign.

Almost immediately, a grassroots Fight-HST move-ment began, enlisting former premier Bill Vander Zalm as a spokesman, while more than 500,000 people signed up to oppose the tax, prompting a provincewide referendum on the HST under B.C.’s direct de-mocracy laws which allow for recalls of politicians and votes on some initiatives.

Campbell resigned mid-term, essentially admitting peoples concerns about his policies had stalled the prog-ress of his government.

The tax went down to defeat in August 2011, but it’s taken until now to officially bring back the PST.

B.C.’s small business minis-ter Naomi Yamamoto said she has some concerns that not every business has properly registered to move to the PST for April 1, but for the most part, it will be business as usual.

“We will see all those per-manent exemptions prior to the HST reintroduced,’’ she said. “So, people will not be paying PST on things like gym memberships and restaurant meals, bicycle purchases, hair-cuts. But for the majority of purchases some may make they will probably see no differ-ence at all.’’

Yamamoto said about 25,000 businesses have yet to register to collect the PST. She said about 100,000 B.C. busi-nesses, mostly retailers, will collect the PST.

She said the Finance Minis-try has undertaken to contact every eligible business about their need to sign up and how they can do it on line or through consultations.

She said the ministry has made more than 115,000 calls to businesses, written to each business twice and conducted almost 2,000 personal consul-tations with businesspeople.

“There’s no provision, re-grettably, in the legislation for

leniency,’’ said Yamamoto. “So businesses really are obligated if they are selling a product or service that attracts the tax, they have to collect it. But it’s not the Ministry of Finance’s intent to audit all of these busi-nesses.’’

She said the ministry wants to help speed the process in any way it can.

B.C. chamber of commerce president John Winter said he believes the majority of busi-nesses will be signed up by April 1, but he expects in-store issues in the first few days as customers examine their re-ceipts to see if they were charged taxes or not charged.

“My sense is it’s going to be chaotic,’’ he said. “There’s going to be a lot of cash register discussions.’’

The provincial government struck a deal with the federal government to pay back the $1.6 billion in the months after the HST was defeated in the referendum.

The money will gradually be returned over the next five years, interest free.

Falcon said at the time that getting a break on the interest would save the province $100 million.

“Obviously, in a perfect world, I wish we didn’t have to pay back anything,’’ the minis-ter told reporters in January last year as he announced the agreement.

The Pacific Carbon Trust orches-trated a months-long campaign of calls and letters to discredit a report from B.C.’s Auditor Gen-eral on its first two big carbon

offset projects, before it could be released.Just as the audit report was about to be

made public, the trust, a Crown corpora-tion created at taxpayer ex-pense, participated in the leaking of selected critical letters to media out-lets.

Then the Speaker of the B.C. legislature, Bill Barisoff, made a final, clumsy effort to delay the release of the re-port.

As soon as it was out, Environment Minister Terry Lake tried to discredit it, by blustering about all the highly paid experts who swore up and down that a forest re-serve near Kootenay Lake, and a gas flaring reduction project near Fort Nelson, were bona fide carbon offsets worth $6 million of taxpayers’ money.

The audit states in plain language, with charts and timelines, that the $6 million was basically given away for nothing. I look forward to further audits on this carbon offset scheme, assuming it survives after the May election, because these two proj-ects aren’t the only boondoggles.

The Pacific Carbon Trust was set up in 2008 as part of former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate change program. To

make the B.C. government’s operations “carbon neutral,” the government and all of its agencies were required to pay the trust $25 per tonne for their carbon dioxide emissions from fuel use.

In 2011 alone, B.C. universities paid $4.46 million to the trust. B.C.’s 60 school districts paid a total of $5.36 million the

same year, and the prov-ince’s six health authorities paid $5.79 million. The money is supposed to go to projects that capture car-bon, thus “offsetting” the heating of schools, the fuel burned by ambulances and so forth.

The 55,000-hectare forest reserve is known as Darkwoods. The audit shows that the Nature Conservancy of Canada decided in 2006 to buy it, using $25 million of federal taxpayers’ money. The deal closed in 2008, the same year the Pa-cific Carbon Trust was formed.

From 2008 to 2010, the trust bought 450,000 tonnes of carbon offset, based on independent evaluations that all rested on the assumption that Darkwoods would be clear-cut logged.

Since the forest was already owned by Canada’s leading conservancy, this as-sumption makes no sense. Was the con-servancy going to log it, or flip it to some-one who would, after accepting $25 mil-lion in tax money to acquire it? Legally, it could not.

(I would add that the assumption that logging releases all of the carbon in a forest is also false. Lumber actually sequesters carbon for longer than trees, which even-tually die and rot.)

The audit found a similar case against EnCana’s flare reduction program, which the company used on many wells before the trust started offering money. EnCana was saving money as well as reducing emissions without collecting offsets. Therefore, the audit concluded, neither of these projects was a credible offset be-cause the emissions savings would have occurred anyway.

Here’s the next Pacific Carbon Trust project that should be audited. In a com-plicated transaction, the trust bought off-sets from something called the Great Bear Carbon Credit Limited Partnership. Yes, this is the world-famous forest on B.C.’s North Coast that was subject to a preserva-tion deal hammered out between the Coastal First Nations, the B.C. government and three U.S.-backed environmental groups.

That was in 2006. The offset purchases were in 2009 and 2010, years after detailed preservation areas were mapped and cod-ified in law.

Again, the trust paid for forest that was already preserved.Tom Fletcher is a columnist for Black Press

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

For the second straight year, the Oil Kings were just too tough to handle.

Drawing the Eastern Conference’s top team again this WHL post-sea-son, the Kootenay Ice fell in five games after losing 4-1 to their hosts in Rexall Place on Friday night in Edmonton.

Edmonton advances into the second round, where they will face the Medicine Hat Tigers—a team that swept the Me-morial Cup hosts in the Saskatoon Blades in four games.

Despite the score, it was a close contest till the final period, as Ed-monton only led by one goal with less than five minutes remaining in the game.

The Oil Kings led by one goal after the first period, but the Ice put on the pressure in the middle frame and man-aged to tie it up.

“It looked like we were a little tentative and we needed to not feel our way through the game,” said Ice head

coach Ryan McGill. “We just needed to get more effort.”

The Ice turned it up in the middle frame, but the Oil Kings pulled ahead just after the half-way mark. Edmonton scored an insurance goal with 3:08 remaining in the game and also notched an empty netter for a 4-1 final.

Kootenay went on the powerplay early, after Sam Reinhart got mixed up with Keegan Lowe, dragging Travis Ewanyk into it, who drew the extra minor.

The Ice’s power play was dangerous the whole night, but didn’t find the back of the net, as Edmonton main-tained their 100 per cent penalty kill all series.

“We were more effec-tive, we moved the puck better, we gave them a different look,” said Mc-Gill. “We had one break-away on the powerplay late in the third period, so not much more we can do, other than score.”

Luke Bertolucci struck first in the latter half of the period, walk-

ing out from the side-boards and roofing a shot on the short side of Ice goaltender Macken-zie Skapski.

The game opened up in the second period, as Kootenay began playing with a sense of urgency and desperation. The team was rewarded nearly three minutes in, when Jakub Prochazka redirected a cross-ice pass from Jaedon De-scheneau past Oil Kings goaltender Laurent Brossoit.

Kootenay poured on the pressure, as Collin Shirley had a chance right in front of the net, while Sam Reinhart had a quality scoring oppor-tunity in the slot, but Brossoit came up huge for the Edmonton squad.

The game remained

knotted for nine min-utes, but the Oil Kings pulled ahead when Cur-tis Lazar used his speed to get behind the Ice de-fence, and roofed a backhander over Skaps-ki’s glove after getting a feed from Dylan Wruck.

Kootenay had a glori-ous chance to draw even on an odd man rush shortly after, but Jordyn Boyd’s shot went just wide of a gaping net. Re-inhart also had a partial breakaway, but couldn’t settle the puck to get a decent shot on net.

“I thought we played real good in the second period,” said McGill. “I thought we generated lots of scoring chances, and we just didn’t bury our chances, but that has to come through second and third efforts.”

More Kootenay pres-sure came in the third period, but the momen-tum halted when Ice de-fenceman Jagger Dirk was whistled for a hit from behind on Mitch Moroz. The Ice rear-guard was slapped with a five-minute major and a game misconduct for the play.

A man short for five minutes, the Ice penalty kill went to work, and came up huge, denying Edmonton on every sin-gle opportunity during their powerplay.

“It was real big, be-cause we generated of-fence off it, and we gen-erated offence after it,” said McGill, “but once again, we didn’t bury our opportunities when we got our powerplay.”

Brossoit bailed out his team with the save of the game late in the contest, when he kicked out a pad to stop a shot from Luke Philp, who came in all alone when the Ice had the man-ad-vantage.

However, the Oil Kings added the insur-ance marker with three minutes remaining after Stephane Legault picked up a rebound on Skapski and stuffed it in.

Lazar notched the empty netter a minute later to crush any hope for the Ice.

Skapski ended the game with 32 saves, while Brossoit turned away 24 shots for the Oil Kings.

Jacobs defeats Finland, stays unbeaten at men’s

curling worldsVICTORIA - Brad Jacobs and his Canadian rink

got points for messy housekeeping Sunday at the world men’s curling championships.

The Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., skip remained unbeat-en after two draws as he came back to beat Finland’s Aku Kauste 8-6.

Jacobs overcame an early 4-1 deficit by putting up plenty of junk instead of deploying his usual clean, takeout-based game.

“It wasn’t a typical game for us,” said Jacobs, who is competing at the worlds for the first time. “We like to try to build a lead and peel, as everyone knows.

“We did that in the first game (a win over China), but this game was totally the opposite. But it’s nice to have a game like that, too, where you have to come back to win.”

He and his rink of third Ryan Fry, second E.J. Harnden and lead Ryan Harnden forced Kauste to make several misses as his rink fell to 0-2.

Canada maintained a share of first place with Sweden (2-0). In the only other game on the morn-ing draw, Norway’s Thomas Ulsrud edged Sven Mi-chel of Switzerland 8-7.

Crosby out inde� nitely with broken jaw after puck hits

him in mouthPITTSBURGH - Sidney Crosby has a broken jaw

and is out indefinitely after being hit in the mouth with a puck during a win against the New York Is-landers on Saturday.

The Pittsburgh Penguins said on the team web-site Sunday that Crosby had surgery Saturday night, and there will be an update on his status later in the week.

Crosby, the NHL’s leading scorer, was struck in the face during the first period of the Penguins’ 2-0 win. Slow-motion replays showed multiple teeth flying out of his mouth after the puck struck him during his first shift. The team said Crosby had “major dental work” and will have more done later in the week.

Crosby has 56 points (15 goals, 41 assists) and holds a 10-point lead in the scoring race. He has not missed a game yet this season after being limited to 22 regular-season games over the prior two calendar years because of concussion-like symptoms and neck issues after absorbing big hits in consecutive games Jan. 1 and Jan. 5, 2011.

Midway through his comeback season, Crosby said he was feeling so good he “doesn’t even think about” the risk of concussion or head or neck injury anymore after two years in which it dominated his life. Teammates expressed similar sentiments.

Murray rallies past Ferrer for Sony Open title

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. - Andy Murray has erased a championship point and rallied past David Ferrer 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (1) in the final of the Sony Open.

One point from defeat in the last set, Murray skipped a forehand off the far baseline to stay in the match Sunday. He then dominated the tiebreaker, while Ferrer appeared to cramp and collapsed to the court after one rally.

CBS cut away from the final when it went to the tiebreaker to join the start of the NCAA tournament game between Michigan and Florida. The network later showed a replay of match point.

Murray also won the title in 2009. His path to this year’s championship was made easier because Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal skipped the tourna-ment and Novak Djokovic lost in the fourth round.

Dear Annie: I am an elementary school teacher. This year I have two 7-year-old students with major behavior issues. Both of them have threatened to bring a gun to school and shoot me and their classmates. As shocking as it is to hear this from such young children, the response from the people in charge is worse. I reported these threats multiple times, and nothing has been done. No one has even spoken to the boys about their behavior. I was told the kids are young and most likely don’t have access to guns. Yet these kids have older siblings who can obtain guns for them. In light of current events, I take these threats seriously. I’ve spoken to the princi-pal, vice-principal, school social workers and the boys’ parents. They all tell me I need to “focus on the positive things the kids do.” Am I crazy, or are they? What should I do? Quitting my job is not an option. -- Worried Teacher Dear Teacher: While it is not uncommon for young children to make such threats, they normally do not follow through. However, there is a slim possibility that one of these boys will bring a weapon to school and at-tempt to use it, especially if he hears news reports about other school shootings. The bigger problem is the “major behav-ior issues.” We realize you are fearful, but an alarmed approach is not productive. Are these boys receiving any kind of ongoing counseling or assistance? Perhaps if you approach this as a way to help the children develop better coping skills, the school will address it more directly and effectively. Dear Annie: Please let your readers know of an easy way to support our troops. When buying a new cellphone, donate your old one to the nonprofit Cell Phones for Soldiers through cellphonesforsoldiers.com. Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded in 2004 by Robbie and Brittany Bergquist of Norwell, Mass., when they were 12 and 13 years old. The organization converts pro-ceeds from used cellphones into prepaid phone cards for our troops overseas. They have donated more than 181 million min-utes to our troops, many of whom could not otherwise afford to call home. Please support those individuals who support our country. -- Bay St. Louis Dear Bay St. Louis: Thank you for mention-ing this very worthwhile organization. We hope our readers will keep it in mind when getting a new cellphone. Dear Annie: I was perplexed by the recent letter from “Mr. Manners” about bits of food that a diner drops on the plate. He expressed disgust that people pick up the bits with their fingertips, and you concurred that it was proper etiquette to use one’s knife to retrieve the droppings. I can display more grace picking up such bits with my fingertips than anyone can with forks and knives. And what about the centuries-old practice of sopping one’s bread in leftover juices? However, my real question is: In the grand scheme of things, what difference does it make if a person picks up food bits with the fingers? -- Durant, Okla. Dear Durant: You may have misunderstood the original letter. When eating peas and other small, hard-to-capture foods, it is best to get them onto one’s fork by using a knife or a piece of bread, rather than pushing them with one’s fingers. It’s unappetizing to watch someone use their fingers. And yes, you can sop bread in leftover juices, as long as you don’t make a slurpy mess of it.

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.
