Construction values still down for quarter A R N E P E T RYS H E N Townsman Staff
Construction is down in Cranbrook when compared to the same third quarter period last year, according to the city’s latest building
permit summary. In 2013 the third quarter total for construction value was $6 million, down from 2012 figures of $7.1 million. Staff presents the summary every three months
and it gives an idea of what is going on construction wise in the community. “They’re a little less than last year,” said CAO Wayne Staudt. “I think these things go in cycles, but generally
are down for the quarter in the third quarter compared to last year and our numbers are also down here to date.” While residential and sign construction is up for the quarter, commercial, in-
dustrial and institutional construction are all down. In terms of residential construction, third quarter values were $4.3 million, up from $2.6 million for the same period last year. The year-to-date construction value is $8.8 million in 2013, compared to $9.7 in 2012. Commercial construction dropped to $1.6 million, from $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2012. The year to date value was almost half last year’s at $5.3 million in 2013, versus $10.4 million in 2012. Industrial figures are down this year with year-to-
date values of $262,165 this year compared to $4.6 million last year. Institutional construction was also down for the year at $95,900 this year compared to $618,292 at this time last year. Sign construction value was up compared to last year, at $213,392 in 2013, compared to $176,447 in the same period last year. “I think we all know that the economy is still struggling and we’re all trying to find ways to improve the economy,” CAO Staudt said. “As long as we’re collectively trying to find ways to improve the economy that’s the best we can do.”

On Tuesday, Nov. 26, Matthew Burr was awarded the Governor General’s Academic Medal. The medal recognizes outstanding scholarly achievements of students in Canada. Burr graduated in 2013. Above Burr, left, receives the medal beside Mount Baker Secondary principal Jason Tichauer inside the It’s An Honour travelling exhibit. Burr said the award gives him motivation to keep striving in his studies. He plans to pursue mathematics at the University of Alberta.
The uncertainty over predicted BC Hydro rate increases has come to an end. The Government of B.C. and BC Hydro have come up with a plan, striking a balance between trying to keep a handle on electricity rate increases while freeing up money for BC Hydro to make repairs to aging facilities and create new generation. The provincial govern-
ment on Tuesday announced a new 10-yearplan designed to keep electricity rates as low as possible while BC Hydro makes investments in assets and new infrastructure. Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review and MLA for Kootenay East, made the announcement Tuesday in Victoria.

Railways ordered to declare dangerous goods New federal regulations mean CPR will have to tell East Kootenay communities what it is carrying on local tracks SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
Canadian Pacific will have to declare to the City of Cranbrook what dangerous goods pass through the city under new federal regulations announced last week. Announced on Wednes-
day, Nov. 20, the regulations require railway companies to give municipalities a list every three months of the dangerous goods that have passed through the community, including the nature and volume of the goods. Each day, sixteen trains
pass through Cranbrook, but until now Canadian Pacific has resisted specifically stating what goods are in those trains, saying that it is for public safety reasons. However, in 2012 Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services participated in a
three-day training exercise with CP Rail where they talked about the different products passing through town. Now municipalities will be given that information. The change comes after pressure on Transport Canada after the tragedy in
Lac-Megantic, Quebec, in July, where a 74-car freight train carrying crude oil derailed in the centre of the town, killing 47 people. “Local governments and first responders are the front line in keeping our communities safe, and we are ensur-
ing they have the information they need about the dangerous goods being transported in their communities,”said Steven Blaney, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.

Inside the wacky world of Willy Wonka Jr The young student who will play Willy Wonka in an upcoming school production at McKim Theatre tells us about the production GWEN DAVIES
I’m Gwen Davies and I will be playing Willy Wonka in McKim’s upcoming production of Willy Wonka Jr. My character is sort of crazy and a bit weird; he can change from happy to angry in a second. You might be confused if you know the story of Willy Wonka because I’m a girl and my character is normally played by a boy. At first I was confused; how was I supposed to play a boy? But now I know exactly how... I don’t! We changed the character to a girl, but don’t worry, that was the only thing we changed. Now you know
elowna
about Willy, so here’s a little bit about me: I love singing, acting and dancing and I am so thrilled to be in a production like this. Normally this story is mainly about Charlie – how he finds a golden ticket and gets to tour Wonka’s factory – but this production shows a lot more about Willy and the person “she” is. Now, I’m going to talk about the different cast members and characters in this musical. Let’s start with Charlie Bucket, played by Declan Armstrong. Declan is just so full of life and energy, he seems super happy to be playing Charlie. Then there’s Mike Teavee played by
Dryden Dhami; Dryden’s crazy... super crazy. He’s always talking and never stops; he just keeps going and going, but in a good way. Kayla Giguere plays Veruca Salt and I think she is perfect for her role! Not that she is bossy or anything, but she is a great actor and a beautiful singer. Violet Beauregarde is played by Emery Hoko who is so outgoing and crazy, yet similar to Kayla in her acting and singing. Clayton Serediuk is playing Augustus Gloop; he is always so happy and cheerful, and he totally fits his character. Clara couldn’t have cast us better!
NEW! Service between
CRANBROOK KELOWNA
Other people who are awesome to work with are Trenan McMillan as Grandpa Joe, Hailey Stober as Mrs. Teavee, Ava Wagner as Mrs. Salt, Emma MacLeod as Mrs. Beauregarde, Savannah Flegel as Mrs. Gloop, and so many others. I think the most awesome person to be working with, though, is Clara MacLeod, the director. She is the most awesome person in the world! She helps us perfect our lines and has such a beautiful voice. She is just amazing. To top it off, she is only fifteen and is still a high school student. She also has the lead role in the Selkirk musical this year, so she is pretty skilled. Remember, Willy Wonka Jr will be performed on December 11, 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the McKim office and are $5 for students and $8 for adults. We all hope to see you there!

Chicken debate ruffles feathers in Kimberley C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin
The debate on backyard chickens returned to City Council on Monday evening, with Council receiving two petitions (one online and one handwritten) in favour with a total of 334 signatures. Council also received a collection of emails received from citizens, with 16 letters against backyard chickens and five for. The request for backyard chickens originated last June when Rob Palermo approached Council to speak on the subject. He told Council that his family had decided to try to provide themselves with as much food as possible that they knew to be healthy, safe and clean from any unnatural products, pesticides and or chemicals. They planted fruit trees, built a greenhouse and planted a garden. At the time, he and his family had
both backyard chickens for eggs and rabbits for meat. “We have taken appropriate measures to ensure our choice of raising these animals will not be affecting our neighbours and believe the measures taken would fall into guidelines set up by other neighbouring cities like Nelson and Invermere,” he told Council. At the time, he promised to return to provide further information and indication of support for the idea. Palermo told Council that other jurisdictions such as Victoria, Kaslo and Invermere did allow backyard chickens. “The health and safety of our food system is deteriorating,” Palermo said. “If we desire to provide healthy food for ourselves, as long as it’s not affecting anyone else, there shouldn’t be
New railway rule welcomed by municipalities Continued from page 1 The Federation of Canadian Municipalities asked during the summer that Transport Canada improve safety for communities that have a railway running through them. “(This) announcement is welcome news for Canadian communities,” said Claude Dauphin, President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. “It sends a clear message that the Government of Canada fully agrees that local governments need to know basic information about dangerous goods being transported through their communities.” Rob Gay, Chair of the Regional District of East Kootenay board of directors, said that communities throughout the region will now re-examine response plans for a railway accident. “People will be having a look at the emergency planning proto-
cols once we get this information,” said Gay. “I don’t know if we’ll be really surprised by what’s going through, but maybe the frequency.” The Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs has applauded the new directive in a statement released Nov. 21. “We are pleased that the Minister of Transport has listened to the concerns and recommendations of the Fire Service and Canada’s municipalities and we welcome this significant step forward in improving Canada’s rail safety regulations,” read the statement. “This announcement is an important step in the right direction and will help local Fire Chiefs and their municipalities by providing them with information on the dangerous goods travelling through their communities.”

a problem.” He also said that since he’d had to get rid of his chickens he notices so much more waste going to compost. He said that he understood that Bear Aware would have concerns but said he didn’t think it would be a problem. “We already have bear issues. I don’t think chickens would attract more.” Palermo urged Council to host a town hall meeting so the community could have a discussion. Mayor Ron McRae said that with Council only receiving some of the information that day — such as the package of
Holiday Train coming to town Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff
The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train will be coming to town on Tuesday, Dec. 10 and bringing with it a special performance by two Canadian performers. When the train comes to a stop on the 1400 block of Theatre Road, the box car doors will open to reveal musicians Melanie Doane and Matt Dusk. Doane is touring the whole country by way of train, starting in Quebec Nov. 26, then heading west. Along the way she will play with the likes of Jim Cuddy, Crystal Shawanda and Doc Walker. Dusk will join her for a couple of stops into Alberta.
Every year, the CP Holiday Train visits about 150 communities in Canada and the U.S to raise money, food and awareness for food banks and hunger issues in general. It started in 1999 and the trains have travelled 160,000 kilometres, raising almost $7.4 million and collecting 1.3 million kilograms of food. The event usually begins with the train coming to a stop in front of the crowd of spectators and supporters, followed by the stage car door lowering and the band plays their first song. Then there will be a brief ceremony with local politicians, and food band representatives, followed by more music.
CORRECTION NOTICE The Jeep Sales Event ad that appeared in the November 22nd issue of this newspaper incorrectly stated that the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT with option equipment shown had a price of $48,315. The correct price for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with optional equipment shown is $64,690. We are sorry for any inconvenience this error may have caused.
feedback from citizens — a little more time would be required to look at it. “We need to make an informed decision on whether to go to the community as a whole,” McRae said. “It’s probably a little premature for a bylaw.” Council also wants to do some research on communities that have had some success with backyard chickens as to how they manage them. Kaslo, it was pointed out, had a requirement that backyard chickens be contained by an electric fence. Council promised to contact Palermo with its thoughts on the matter, likely early in the new year, which Palermo agreed was reasonable.
City council
Arts Council hopes to move to old fire hall Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff
The Cranbrook and District Arts Council has sent a letter to Cranbrook City Council rekindling its interest in Fire Hall no. 1 as a permanent home. In the letter Mitchell Pocha, president of the CDAC, notes that the organization is looking at the space to house its operations and notably a public art gallery. The gallery would only be the first phase with later additions including workshops, exhibits and events. The arts council noted that it would be ready to move in “in the
very near future.” Coun. Sharon Cross noted the interest that the CDAC was expressing, but wondered when the information from the downtown block public session would be available. In that session, members of the public met in a workshop environment to come up with ideas for what the downtown city-owned block between Baker and 1st Street and 10th and 11th Avenue. The old fire hall was identified by many as the key component of that area. City staff plans to present that information in January.

Rate increase spread out over five years Continued from page 1 Over the first two years of the plan, the province will set rate increases at nine per cent and six per cent. The BC Utilities Commission (BCUC) will set increases for the following three years within caps of four per cent, 3.5 per cent and three per cent. In the final five years of the plan, rates will be set by the BCUC. “We’ve capped rates in years three, four and five, but the BCUC will actually look at rates then, and if they can set rates lower than the cap, obviously they will,” Bennett told the Townsman on Tuesday. “And starting in year six, it will be up to the BCUC as to what rates will be. But we think that given everything we’re doing here to take pressure off rates, any rate increase will be quite minimal. While there will still be rate increases over the 10-year period, the idea was to keep the increases gradual and predictable. “That’s an important principle in having this 10-year plan,” Bennett said. “Business in particular, large industries especially — the pulp and paper compa-

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett and BC Hydro CEO Charles Reid take questions on the utility’s 10-year plan Tuesday, Nov. 26. nies, the mining companies, the chemical companies — they really need to know what it looks like in the future so they can budget and prepare. “The average residential ratepayer will pay about eight dollars a month more in the first year, when you have a nine per cent increase. The average large industrial user in that first year will pay about $140,000 extra a month. You can see how big a deal this is to the industrial ratepayer.” New measures in the 10-year plan will reduce the amount of money that govern-
ment takes from the utility, free up additional cash to support investments in infrastructure and lower BC Hydro’s operating costs. “Right now the government takes a lot of money from BC Hydro on an annual basis — in various ways, like the dividend, the return on equity, water rentals,” Bennett said. “We know we can take pressure off rates if they can keep a bunch more of their money and use that to invest, instead of having to borrow.” The past four months have been spent on the process of reaching this point,
Bennett said. “This has been job number one for me,” he said. “I’ve spent more time on the BC Hydro file by far — it’s not even close — than any other part of my portfolio. And we’ve done an enormous amount of work with the utility internally. We found $391 million that they don’t need to spend from an operating perspective. They’re going to reduce spending in other ways, so they’re doing their part. “And that to me was why it was so important for government to be seen to be doing its part as well. We take less money, they spend less

money, we make some other changes and we end up with a 15 per cent increase over the first two years as opposed to 26 per cent, which was what was out there four months ago.” Electricity is still a relatively inexpensive commodity in British Columbia, even with the upcoming increases, Bennett said. “We’ve got the third lowest residential rates in North America. That’s the context for this. The other piece of context I think is important is that when you adjust for inflation we’re actually paying the same thing for electricity today that we paid in the 1960s. Even though no one likes rates going up, when you think about gas, or oil or gasoline, or cable fees, or just about anything else, this particular commodity is actually relatively inexpensive.” BC Hydro will invest $1.6 billion in Power Smart programs under the 10-year plan. In addition, a rate design review process will be launched to examine ways to provide industrial customers with more options to reduce their electricity costs, as recommended by the Industrial Electricity Policy Review Task Force.

Used book brick border bust I ARNE PE TRYSHEN
have a bunch of books I haven’t yet read. I’m reminded of them because I can see them in a box in my closet I’ve been neglecting to unpack. The books are new and old, and I plan to read them all — eventually. The problem is every time I’m travelling someplace and pass a used book store of some type I go in to check it out. And though I have every intention of not buying anything — of abstaining from starting another box of books to read — as soon as I begin perusing the selection of books I start finding the book gems. When looking through shelves of old books there are always the regular classics, they can be found anywhere you look. But then there are those books that are harder to find, ones that have disintegrated into the depths of time and become a rarity. Despite having great amounts of wisdom to pass on, the books themselves have been tossed out or forgotten to find there way to the old bookstores. Finding these books is another thing, but the possibility is there in those used book shops. Of course it could be worse. The nice thing about shopping for used books in small book shops is that they are usually on the low end of the spending spectrum, so though I may need an ever bigger bookshelf, there’s not much worry on the finan-
cial side of things. The truth is though I enjoy perusing the stacks of used books, much like sifting through boxes of forgotten vinyl because you don’t know what you may find there. My friend went another route. Rather than the slow, periodic collecting that I seem to take part in, he elected for a more direct and quick way of amassing a collection. He went online and found every classic book he could from used booksellers in the States. He spent a couple hundred dollars for somewhere around a hundred books and then waited for a big box full of books to arrive at the shipping outpost across the border. When he couldn’t make it down there I agreed to go pick them up. At the shipping outpost, I asked if they had received the box full of books. “No box,” they said, “but we’ve received quite a few individual packages.” In fact, the books had come individually shipped one or two to a plain white plastic package. Luckily they elected to charge a pick up price for the whole pile of books and not the regular per package fee, which would have easily added a $100 to my friend’s online book buying endeavour. I opened a few of the packages to make sure they were in fact books and not something else and loaded them up in the trunk of my car and headed north.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
At the border, I gave customs the list of the books piled in the trunk. The officer looked skeptical and told me to pull in for a search of the vehicle. Imagine her surprise when she lifts up the trunk to see it piled to the brim with individually-wrapped brick shaped white packages. Her eyes went wide and she called another officer over. It must have looked as though this was going to be a historic drug bust. She cut open one of the packages, revealing the tattered pages of a literary masterpiece, then another, again only musty paper filled with the words of writers past. Finally, the officers resigned that the packages were in fact filled with literature and not illicit drugs. We all had a laugh about the case of the mistaken cargo and they let me on my way. My friend spent a good amount of time removing the books from their packages and trying to figure out if it was all the books he ordered. Some had disappeared somewhere along the way or maybe were never mailed. But most likely those books are sitting and waiting on the shelves of a used book store somewhere.

EK Volleyball Club takes part in RBC Sports Day Club marks national celebration of sport by hosting instruction clinics and fun mini-tournament at COTR, Friday, Nov. 29
TOWNSMAN STAFF
The East Kootenay Volleyball Club is taking part in the fourth annual RBC Sports Day in Canada this week, on Friday, Nov. 29. To mark this year’s national celebration of sport, from grassroots to high‐performance levels, EKVC is hosting Circulation and Atomic Volleyball Instruction and a Mini Fun Tournament for children in Grades 1-5, at College of the Rockies from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The EKVC develops and promotes indoor and outdoor volleyball for all ages in the East Kootenay region. The club promotes, develops, organizes and operates clinics for volleyball players, coaches, and game officials. “We’re thrilled to be part of RBC Sports Day in Canada,” says Herb Tepper, mentor coach for EKVC. “The City of Cranbrook has a long tradition of supporting its local teams and clubs. Sport
is great for our community and is something we can all get behind.” RBC Sports Day in Canada, on Saturday, November 30, 2013, is a national celebration of sport in communities across Canada. The official day caps off a week of more than 1,000 local events and includes a special broadcast on CBC Television. EKVC is participating in the Sports Day by offering an adaptive teaching meth-
od for young children at College of the Rockies Gym. Circulation Volleyball for children will be held for Grades 1-3 from 10 a.m. - noon and Atomic Volleyball for children in Grades 4 and 5 from 12:45-3 p.m. These instructional methods allow children to gain the fundamental skills of volleyball while introducing critical physical literacy skills such as: running, jumping, throwing, eyehand co-ordination, bal-
ance and movement. The event is taught by EKVC certified coaches that have partnered with the University of Victoria Teacher Education Program to help deliver the curriculum on this fun day. College of the Rockies Avalanche players will also assist. “It is very important for children ages 6-12 to gain the Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) to enhance their participation in physical activity throughout their lives,”
said Sandi Lavery, Program Coordinator for the UVIC Teacher Education Program. “Circulation and Atomic Volleyball provide these FMS skills. Canada Sports Day activities help provide these skills in a fun and creative way.” The East Kootenay Volleyball Club runs club indoor volleyball in the months of January to May for athletes in Grades 7-12 and Beach Volleyball from June-August. The club website is www. ekvcvolleyball.com and email is info@ekvcvolleyball. com. RBC is the new title sponsor of RBC Sports Day in Canada, which is presented by ParticipACTION, in partnership with CBC Television, ICI Radio-Canada Télé and True Sport, working in collaboration with national sporting organizations and their networks of coaches, athletes and sports enthusiasts across the country. RBC Sports Day in Canada is supported by Sport Canada and in B.C. through Healthy Families BC. For more information about RBC Sports Day in Canada, please visit www.sportsday.cbc.ca.

Laurie Tigers finish second at East Kootenay Championships BARRY COULTER Townsman Staff
The volleyball season at the Middle School level has come to an end, with the East Kootenay Championship tournament held in Creston, Friday, Nov. 22 and Saturday, Nov. 23. Eight schools took part, including Laurie and Parkland Middle
Schools. The other teams included Fernie Secondary School, Sparwood Secondary School, Jaffray Elementary Jr. Secondary School, Elkford Secondary School, The Fernie Academy and Prince Charles Secondary School in Creston. Laurie Middle School finished first in its pool, which included Jaf-
fray, Parkland and Sparwood. The LMS Tigers played the Parkland Raiders in the semi-final, and were victorious, moving onto the Championship game against Creston’s Prince Charles Secondary School. The Tigers started off strong, taking the first set. Prince Charles took the second set. The third and final
set (which was up to 15 points) was a very close game indeed, but Prince Charles prevailed, taking the EK Championship, with Laurie finishing second overall. The school and parents are very proud of the boys and thankful to have such dedicated wonderful coaches!
The Kootenay Ice Hockey Club will once again be taking part in the traditional A&W Bear, Toque and Mitten Toss on December 13 when the Red Deer Rebels are in town. Fans are encouraged to bring new and unused (due to distribution in health care facilities) winter wear, clothing and teddy bears to the game to launch onto the ice after Kootenay scores their first goal. The Ice will be distributing the winter clothing and teddy bears to health care facilities and the Salvation Army in an effort to keep the young and old warm during the winter months. Tickets are available at the Kootenay Ice Office or by calling 250-417-0322.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are ready for turkey. You inadvertently make others smile, which helps them get into the Thanksgiving mood. You might not be up for spending time away from home. Curl up with a good book and make it early. Tonight: Visit with an old pal. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You efficiently will clear out a lot of work and/or errands. It appears as if you are assuming a strong role in the holiday celebrations. Someone might surprise you with a phone call later today. Make time to visit with this person. Tonight: Get into the holiday spirit. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Getting started this morning seems close to impossible. Indulge yourself by getting in an extra hour of sleep or by taking a nap later. By late afternoon, you will be joining friends and celebrating the holiday with people you enjoy a lot. Tonight: Get ready to greet a friend.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll smile a lot today, even if you’re very busy. In your book, being together with family and friends is a perfect recipe for living well. Catch up on news, as an out of town friend appears on the scene. Remember, people count more than turkey. Tonight: Happy at home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Last-minute errands and an important purchase could occupy part of the day. Later in the day, you’ll let go of other responsibilities in order to start enjoying your Thanksgiving activities. Many of you will be getting together with friends. Tonight: Catch up on others’ news. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll wake up ready to go. Complete matters that have little to do with Thanksgiving but need to be done. You might surprise yourself at how quickly you free yourself up. An office party might be in order. Tonight: Honor the holiday by kicking up your heels. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be dragging your feet
Tundra
today. When it dawns on you that tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and friends start calling, your mood will perk up. Visit with someone you rarely have an opportunity to see. Share some cheer together. Tonight: More friends swirl around you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Prioritize and move forward. You have a lot of ground to cover. You also will want some special time with a visiting friend or relative. You might choose not to share everything that is on your mind. Tonight: Let go and just do what you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Requests continue to flood your desk, and you might feel as if you do not want to decline. You will surprise yourself and say “no” midday to late afternoon. You might see someone who you want to sit down with and visit. Tonight: You might have an impromptu party. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Many of you might be taking off for Thanksgiving. If you are not, you could opt for a new adventure that allows more openness
about the holiday and between you and others. Resist thinking about Christmas and spending more money. Tonight: Stay in the present. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You naturally will gravitate to one person at a time to socialize, which is not your normal style. Someone at a distance might walk into your life anytime from the late afternoon on. Tonight: Make sure that the music meets the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could have your plans set, but you are OK with someone else’s wishes. Defer to this person. Relax with the moment and enjoy others’ tastes and desires. By midafternoon, you will want more one-on-one time with an associate or dear friend. Tonight: Visit all you want.

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My supervisor rarely states his desires clearly. But if I take the initiative or ask him to clarify, he makes me feel like an idiot. He is condescending and highly critical of most people. He also is a nonstop gossip. He has portrayed me to others as racist, womanizing and incompetent. He has control over my payable time and my vacation requests. He has the ear of management and lives in the same neighborhood as many of my co-workers. I fear that bringing any of this up for discussion will create a level of retaliation far worse than the existing reality. Any suggestions? -- Kansas Dear Kansas: First, examine your own behavior to see whether there is cause for such rumors to take hold, and if so, correct it. Still, it is no excuse for your supervisor to spread gossip. He also seems ineffectual as a leader, because he does not make his wishes clear and stifles attempts by employees to clarify. Normally, these would be issues to document and then discuss with human resources or the supervisor’s boss. However, if you worry that doing so will create more problems, you have two choices: Either conduct yourself in a way that is beyond reproach and do your best to put up with it, or start looking for another job. Dear Annie: I love your column and hope you can clear something up for me. What is the correct thing to do when sending a sympathy card? It seems that most death notices these days suggest donating to a favorite charity “in lieu of flowers.” But is it OK just to send a card? Should money always be enclosed? My friend says yes, but I had never heard of this. Is this a religious custom or popular in certain parts of our country? I get a different answer every time I ask someone. -- Casper, Wyo. Dear Casper: A sympathy card is always appropriate, and no, you do not have to enclose money. If the bereaved is struggling financially, it is a kindness to send something to help defray funeral costs, but it is absolutely not mandatory. A donation to a charitable organization is a suggestion and also not required. The point is to express your condolences. Anything beyond that is up to you. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Doing It Myself,” who is perplexed about how best to care for her aging mother who has mild dementia. It is not always beneficial to keep the parent in his or her own home. My 86-year-old mother quickly became unstable once she was widowed. She totaled the car in a bad accident, started berating neighborhood children for being loud and lied to a police officer about a friend who came to visit. She also gave lots of money to every charity that asked. All of those people who offered help at Dad’s funeral faded away. Mom was alone and unable to voice her fear. She thought she was supposed to stay in the house she built with my father. I nearly lost my mind, my business and my health trying to keep her at home. Over the objections of my out-of-state siblings, I moved her into a continuing care facility that provides for rehab, skilled care and assisted living. She went kicking and screaming, but eventually apologized for making it so hard on me. She has tons of new friends and is happy and active. Everyone who works there loves her, and she knows it. Two weeks after she moved in, she said, “I wish I’d moved here three years ago.” I do, too. -- W. Dear W.: A lot of folks have found that the company and care at a retirement or assisted-living facility is quite enjoyable once they have made the adjustment.

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.

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. Sixtytwo 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. SOURCE: Newspaper Association of America
