Assistant Chief Rick Prasad says that the Fire Department had a great response and knocked the fire down quickly, before it could spread to adjacent buildings. “It could have been a lot worse,” he said. “There is damage to the contents of the building and smoke damage in it and adjacent buildings.” Prasad says the cause of the fire is under investigation.

Turkey Drive shatters record, raises $47,000 For the Townsman

The citizens of Cranbrook have risen to new heights of generosity and support this year setting a record with $47,600 being donated to the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce Turkey Drive from over 600 individual donors. The Turkey Drive culminated with a one day finale Thursday, December 03 that saw the Chamber office flooded with celebrity pledgers working the phones to bring in support for the Salvation Army and Cranbrook Food Bank hamper programs. “Last year we sent an unprecedented record at $42,000,” said Head Turkey Jason Wheeldon. “We set what we thought was a realistic goal this year of $28,000 given the economy in the area. I am blown away with the final number and the level of support.” “This year’s record setting number will go a long way to taking the pressure off the Cranbrook Food Bank and the Salvation Army for December. The need is year round and if for one month the business community can come together and help then it is worthwhile,” said Wheeldon. The Head Turkey said the success of the Chamber Turkey Drive would not be possible without the tireless efforts of his Little Pluckers. “These are a group of well-known locals from different sectors that work their contact lists with vigour. The collective efforts of the Little Pluckers is what creates our success.” The top fundraiser is recognized as Chief Turkey Winner. This year former Chamber man-

Last Thursday was the final push for donations to the Chamber of Commerce’s annual Turkey Drive. Pictured above: David D. Hull, Gerry Oviatt, Maureen McGee, Warren Bedell, Chris Thom, Jason Wheeldon and Laura Kennedy. ager Karin Penner was presented with the coveted turkey mirror trophy for her efforts in soliciting $9890 in donations. In a close second was Plucker Chris Thom at $9575. “While many Pluckers were bringing in hundreds of dollars at a go Karin brought in a multitude of twenty dollar donations at a time. She was absolutely remarkable,” said Wheeldon. Penner was presented with the Turkey Platter, recognizing her for her fundraising efforts as one of the top Little Pluckers. “I just want to say how thrilled I am, not to win, but how thrilled I am to live in this community,” said Penner, as she addressed members of the Chamber of Commerce at a monthly lun-

cheon on Wednesday. “Every $20 counts and I am thrilled to be able to say, ‘You did it, Cranbrook’ and that we can help our neighbours.” Major Kirk Green of the Salvation Army was visibly emotional as Wheeldon presented cheques to him and Gerry Oviatt, the president of the Cranbrook Food Bank Society. “I want to say thank you and I want to say that this will not only pay for Christmas, it will do a lot for the rest of the year,” Green said. “As much as we get accolades during the christmas season—the Food Bank and ourselves— for doing what we do, you folks are the heroes of the community.” Added Oviatt: “They did a wonderful job this year, I mean $47,000 is just amazing to come

A new dehumidification system would save an estimated $16,000 annually in energy costs for the Cranbrook Aquatic Centre

Council looks at energy savings for aquatic centre T r e v o r C r aw l e y

Cranbrook is forging ahead with a plan to pursue a grant to go towards an aquatic dehumidification system for the Cranbrook Aquatic Centre. The system, originally budgeted for 2019 fiscal year, is being moved ahead to next year, as city staff will apply for a Community En-

ergy Leadership Program (CELP) grant in the order of $119,130. The city is also eligible for a grant of the same amount from FortisBC, with the remainder $122,740 coming from the Municipal Infrastructure (Gas Tax) Reserve. All told, the project will cost $361,000. The dehumidification

system is estimated to save $16,000 annually in energy costs for the Cranbrook Aquatic Centre, while also reducing CO2 emissions by 279 tonnes per year . The project is in response to a recent energy study of Western Financial Place, which identified pool heat recovery as a high priority.

The project is being pushed forward in part because that study makes it eligible for the FortisBC grants. However, there is an 18-month window in which the city must apply for and utilize that funding, which would expire by 2019. In the 2015-2019 Five Year Financial Plan, both Western Financial Place and

the Aquatic Centre were identified for dehumidification systems at a cost of $735,000 for both facilities. However, with the potential to land the CELP grant—city staff believes they can put together a strong application—the project has been moved up to 2016. Though the Cranbrook

Aquatic Centre will get the dehumidification system should the funding come through, the arena’s system is still in the 2019 budget and is not eligible for the CELP grant. Council must submit an application by Dec. 15, 2015 deadline, with councillor Tom Shypitka serving as the liaison.

The End of the Venezuelan “Revolution”

he Venezuelan opposition’s victory in Sunday’s election exceeded even their own hopes: they won more than two-thirds of the seats in the National Assembly. It may be the beginning of the end for the “Bolivarian revolution” launched by the late hero-leader Hugo Chavez seventeen years ago – but it will also plunge the country into a prolonged period of conflict and crisis. Credit where credit is due: the election was conducted in an exemplary fashion although the government knew it was going to lose. And even when the scale of the opposition’s victory became clear, President Nicolas Maduro took the high road: “I call on all of our people to recognise these results peacefully, and to re-evaluate many political aspects of the revolution.” However Maduro, who took over when Chavez died in March 2013, does not intend to preside over the funeral of Venezuelan socialism. When he said “our people”, he meant the Chavistas who still support the “revolution”, and the fact that they were now obviously a minority of the Venezuelan people went unmentioned. As did the fact that it was not actually a revolution at all: Chavez came to power legally and peacefully in the 1998 election. The real question is whether Maduro and those around him will consent to leave power the same way. His vague rhetoric – “We have lost a battle today but now is when the fight for socialism begins” – is designed to leave that in some doubt. And it may be a real fight, perhaps including violence in the streets, because many Chavistas will feel duty-bound not to let this historic experiment fail. Excuse the deliberate lapse into antique Marxist-speak, but that’s how they

talk, and it illustrates how misleading the revolutionary rhetoric is. Because the Chavista era in Venezuelan history was not an historic experiment at all – not, at least, unless you think that building a welfare state with oil revenues is a revolutionary idea (in which case Saudi Arabia also has a revolutionary ideology). True, the Chavistas are rather bigger on the notion of equality than the Saudi royal family, but what they were actually doing was not controversial in principle. They sought and won power through democratic means. Like left-wing politicians in Gwynne early 20th-century European states, they then set Dyer about improving the income, health, housing and educational level of the bottom half of society, as they had promised they would. The work of social uplift went a lot faster in Venezuela because of the oil money. (It has the world’s biggest oil reserves, and only 30 million people.) Chavez accomplished in a decade what took countries like Britain, France and Germany two generations. But by the end of that time the European countries had diversified industrial economies that could pay for a welfare state. All Chavez left his successors was oil. So long as the oil income held up, Chavismo was invincible. Mismanagement and corruption grew, as they often do when money is plentiful. Arrogance grew too, as it usually does in governments long in power, and protests were increasingly met with physical or legal violence. Still Chavez and his successor Maduro won elections – until the oil price collapsed. In the past eighteen months the world price for oil has fallen from $140 a barrel to only $40. Venezuela was already facing serious unemployment and very high in-

flation. Government-imposed price controls were already creating predictable shortages of staple goods like milk, rice, coffee, sugar, corn flour and cooking oil. But when the government’s income collapsed, all those problems went ballistic. OF COURSE Maduro lost the election. In these circumstances, Chavez himself couldn’t have won it. Even Simon Bolivar couldn’t have won it. So now the challenge that both the Chavistas and the opposition face is how to manage an orderly transition that respects democracy, avoids violence, and preferably also preserves some of the social and educational gains of the past seventeen years. The sheer scale of the opposition victory makes this tricky, since it has a “super-majority”: more than two-thirds of the seats in the National Assembly. In theory, that lets it do radical things like rewrite the constitution. In practice, however, the temptation to do that may not be very great. The opposition’s super-majority is vulnerable as it depends on a single seat (it holds 112 out of 167 seats). The first order of business of the new National Assembly will be to pass an amnesty law freeing some seventy leading lights of the coalition’s various parties who were jailed on highly questionable grounds – but once freed they will try to reassert their leadership of those parties, which will probably undermine the fragile unity of the coalition. Nothing the new opposition-dominated legislature does in the short term can change the dire economic situation. Maduro will still control the executive branch, with a presidential mandate that extends into 2019 – unless the opposition forces a recall referendum on his presidency, which it can legally do by next April. The “experiment” is over, but the crisis isn’t. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist published in 45 countries.

If cattail reeds aren’t available, adults can look to other items to spark children’s imaginations. Children’s interests and comments give adults clues about what to add to the environment.

These knitting needles are a better choice for children because they aren’t as sharp as the tall thin pointed needles. Adults support children’s creativity when they listen carefully to children’s ideas and then help them to collect the items they need to experiment with safe natural materials. Adults can use the follow-

Children’s interests and comments give adults clues about what to add to the environment. ing tips while playing with children to help them become confident, creative, and patient individuals. Approach learning with a positive attitude Ask yourself questions in the presence of children. For example, “I wonder how I can

get the cattail reeds to stand up on their own.” Show children you may not have the answers, but that you are willing to find out. Not having the answers is a part of science and scientific processes. Verbalize what children see, hear, smell, taste, and touch.

Focus on concrete characteristics such as colour texture shape size weight and function. Encourage children to notice similarities and differences between items. Identify yourself as a helper in their experimentation Let children know you are interested in learning as much as you can from them. If playing is a new experience for you, then set goals for yourself. It is easier for adults and children to enjoy their interactions with one another when the play environment is fun and relaxing. It is okay if children’s ideas don’t turn out the way they anticipated. Making mistakes and starting over is a life skill that serves children and adults equally well.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week December 6 - 12 Dav e Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1906 Presbyterians … Next Sunday the new Presbyterian Church will be formally opened with a sermon morning and evening by Ralph Connor. Liberals … The Cranbrook Liberal Association held a meeting in Patmore Hall on Wednesday evening, and elected the following officers: J. G. McCallum, president. Geo. Hoggarth, vice-president. C. A. Abbott, secretary. J. Arnold, treasurer. A committee of eight was appointed, consisting of T. Boyter, M. McEachern, L. W. Patmore, W. Craig, D. McDonald, T. B. Stark, G. Gougeon, John Kennedy. A meeting of the District Liberal Association will be held in Wentworth hall on Friday evening. Year ending … In the Methodist church there was an innovation from the regular routine service. After the regular Sunday evening service, the pastor requested all who could to remain and have a chat and listen to the songs and have a cup of tea and a piece of cake. A large number remained and at 11:15 the watch night service commenced. There was a large attendance and a solemn and interesting service was conducted by the pastor. Sleighing party … A sleighing party of about forty members left Cranbrook for Fort Steele on Thursday evening. Leaving here about 7 o’clock they arrived at Steele about 9, and in half an hour were sitting down before well-laden tables. A pleasant hour or two was spent in the dining room of the Imperial and then the drive homeward commenced. Needless to say all had a good time. A. Vroom was leader of the party and is to be congratulated on the success attending it.

Thursday, DECEMber 10, 2015 Page 7

Earthquakes … Two earthquake shocks of sufficient violence to rock houses, awaken sleepers and dishes rattle were felt in Nelson and other towns in West Kootenay. It also touched up a number of towns in the state of Washington. In Southeast Kootenay reports so far received, indicate an entire absence of shock or tremors felt on the other side of the Selkirk Range of mountains. Upcoming election … Some very quiet work has been done during the past week in relation to the coming municipal election. James Ryan and Alfred Doyle, it is reported, are candidates for aldermanic honors, and H. Hickenbotham and Joe Jackson are candidates for re-election. Good times ahead … It is believed that 1906 will be the most prosperous year in mining and lumbering ever experienced in this district. There is every indication of intense activity in the mining industry; and therefore, a vast amount of the very essence of prosperity is likely to be disseminated among the people. Development work will be prosecuted with increased vigor, and the attention of capital is gradually but slowly attracted and confidence and hope instilled into the minds of all classes. People on the outside generally seem to realize that the district is on the eve of a mighty mining development, and that the year 1906 will mark the greatest ore-producing era that this district has ever known. Legislature … With the opening of the provincial legislature will come a strong recommendation from the residents of Cranbrook riding for suitable government buildings for the transaction of the business of this district. Voting list … The municipal voting list was closed on Saturday last with 350 names enrolled therein. Just an even 100 names have been added to the list since the last election. City election … The next city election

will take place on the 18th of this month, which is next Thursday, the nomination day being the Monday previous. Up to the present time there seems to be no opposition to Mayor Rogers succeeding himself. Mr. Rogers has made a good mayor in the brief time that he has been in office and the people generally are of the opinion that he should be elected by acclamation, and thus avoid the necessity of an election, and this will no doubt be done. The Herald is not advised as to whether all of the present aldermen will stand for re-election or not. In the case of aldermen there will be an election unless some of the present incumbents decline to run again, as James Ryan and Al. Doyle, at the request of a large number of the citizens, have reluctantly consented to become candidates. This request was presented in the form of a liberally signed petition last Tuesday at a meeting held at the Cranbrook hotel, at which all present gave their personal assurance that they would do all in their power to secure the election of these two gentlemen. Good work … Mayor Rogers, during the brief time that he has been in office, has shown himself to be tolerant, broad minded, with a full appreciation of the fact that he is mayor for all the people and not for any particular party or faction. If he maintains that policy during his next year in office he will make an enviable name for himself as the administrator of municipal affairs. No man should run for office on the narrow platform of getting even. Politics be gone … Keep politics out of municipal elections and municipal affairs. Some people cannot do it and they have to suffer for it in some way, and the town suffers always. Don’t forget to vote next Thursday. That is the duty of every man or woman whose name is on the voter’s list.

Dynamiters edge Thunder Cats in Eddie Mountain match up Four-point effort from Jordan Busch helps spark Nitros in back-and-forth affair

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Kimberley Dynamiters captain Jason Richter called it “one of the biggest games of the year.” Nitros defenceman Justin Meier said it was “a huge four-point night.” They might have done it the hard way, but the Kimberley Dynamiters (23-3-0-3) found a way to get four points out of the Creston Valley Thunder Cats (18-8-1-1) Wednesday night with a 5-4 win in KIJHL action at the Johnny Bucyk Arena.

Veteran defenceman Jordan Busch got the visitors on the board early, scoring 52 seconds into the first period to kickstart a big night on offense for the native of Edmonton. The Nitros leader from the blue-line racked up two goals and two assists by the time the final buzzer sounded, but there was plenty of drama wedged between his opening tally and the final whistle. Midway through the first period, Busch found the back of the net on the man advantage to double his team’s lead. Shortly after Busch gave the Nitros a 2-0 lead, Thunder Cats forward Nicholas Kovacik struck to cut into the deficit. Unsatisfied with going into the first intermission trailing on home ice, Carson Cartwright found the back of the net on a power play with only 54 seconds to go in the first period to knot the game 2-2 in a span of only 3:34. KIJHL fans familiar with the existing rivalry between the Dynamiters and Thunder Cats know all too well that a meeting between the two Eddie Mountain Division clubs typically results in a tight-checking, closely contested defensive contest. That wasn’t to be the

case Wednesday night in Creston. After the two teams combined for four goals in the opening 20 minutes of play, they stacked up another five goals in the middle period, exchange blow for blow in a wild second period. Captain Jason Richter started the backand-forth 7:44 into the second period on another man-advantage opportunity. Taking a pass from veteran Jared Marchi, the speedster wheeled to the top of the right circle before letting go a quick shot that eluded Thunder Cats goaltender Ben Kelsch. Richter’s patented celebration was on full display as he restored the one-goal lead for his team, but the jubilation was short lived. Only 11 seconds ticked off the clock before the Thunder Cats drew even once again. Claiming control off the ensuing face-off at centre ice, the Thunder Cats cruised into Nitros territory before Colby Livingstone beat Kimberley goaltender Tyson Brouwer and the contest was even at 3-3. After Livingstone drew things even, a second power-play marker from Cartwright gave the hosts their first lead of the evening at the

With only 5:08 to go in the middle period, Busch sent a long point shot towards Kelsch. While it first appeared to go untouched into the net, California product Keenan Haase was cred-

ited with the redirection to pull the Nitros even. If that wasn’t enough drama for 20 minutes of hockey, Meier capped it all off with only one second to play in the second period. A scramble play in the offensive zone led to a late opportunity that Meier converted on, giving the Dynamiters a 5-4 lead heading into the final period. Both teams exchanged opportunities and though the Thunder Cats were able to get Kelsch to the bench for an extra attacker late in regulation, Brouwer stood tall, blocking 31 shots for his league-leading 18th victory of the campaign. At the other end, the 16-year-old Kelsch turned aside 17 of the 22 pucks sent his way. With the win, the Dynamiters padded their Eddie Mountain Division lead, moving 11 points ahead of the Thunder Cats.

Sports Huncar Warrior Arts shows strength in Calgary

For The Townsman

Huncar’s Warrior Arts (HWA) sent another contingent of fighters to Calgary’s Five Elements Martials Arts to test their skills Nov. 21. The six fighters from Cranbrook were joined by fighters of all ages from some of Alberta’s top fighting gyms. Fighters representing Bellegarde’s Dragons, Team Smandych, Mike Miles Muay Thai and Five Elements Martial Arts were also in attendance. The gym floor was crowded with coaches, family members and fighters. For the Cranbrook crew, it was busier than what they were accustomed to, but they were all there for a purpose and they didn’t let the chaos distract them. The intense, busy atmosphere was nothing new for the Five Elements organizers as the tournament started without a hitch and transitioned smoothly

from event to event. Cohen Penner, Nova Bell, Dante Young, Carter Duncan, Quinn Robertson and Dave Buckley all fought on behalf of HWA. For several, this was their first competition, but that didn’t seem to matter. Each fighter did what they came to do -- face fighters they were unfamiliar with and perform at their best. The team showed that this small fighting academy from Cranbrook is capable of going toe to toe with the best. During the day, the group amassed an impressive array of medals. Bell earned third in Muay Thai in her division, while Duncan claimed first in Muay Thai and third in continuous sparring. Young put forth a strong performance, bringing home firstplace prizes in continuous sparring and Muay Thai, while adding a third-place finish in

weapons form. Robertson, 16, was impressive as well, taking first in points sparring and continuous sparring before moving up into the adult Muay Thai division where he beat out all the men he faced for a first-place adult Muay Thai title. The adult Muay Thai division feature some exciting battles. Buckley and Robertson ensured HWA left with a great deal of respect from other fighters. All competitors showed great fighting spirit, but more importantly, a lot of respect for everyone involved with this event. This is just one more step for the fighters from HWA to make themselves known to the world of kickboxing and Muay Thai. Coach Joel Huncar was beaming with pride as he left the event with his group. For him, it wasn’t the medals that brought this sense of

pride. It was moments like watching Penner get back into a fight after a difficult sequence, or Bell going down injured before fighting back tears to win her match. Young held back on an inexperienced opponent, while Duncan showed calm composure despite only have six months experience. Buckley was hurt in his fight, but never backed down. Robertson faced grown men and fought like the champion he is. Fears were faced, pain was overcome and personal growth was experienced all around. Some coaches focus on trophies, but for coach Huncar, it is more about personal growth. After all, trophies eventually end up in a box in an attic, but personal growth and strength carries forward until the end of your days. That’s what all this is truly about.

A special meeting of Council is scheduled for budget discussions, as it pertains to the City of Cranbrook 2016 – 2020 Five Year Financial Plan. The meeting will be held on Saturday, December 12th, 2015 beginning at 9:00am in Council Chambers at City Hall. The public is welcome to attend.

Mariners acquire 1B Lind from Brewers ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASHVILLE - The busy Seattle Mariners have acquired first baseman Adam Lind from the Milwaukee Brewers for three teenage minor league pitchers. The Brewers are getting right-handers Dan-

Stearns would trade him as part of the organization’s rebuilding process. The Mariners have been looking for a first baseman because general manager Jerry Dipoto already dealt Mark Trumbo and Logan Morrison.

The ongoing fluctuation in the water levels at Idlewild Lake is creating extreme ice hazards and it is very important for the public to recognize those dangers and to stay off the ice. Residents and users of Idlewild Park must respect all of the signage in place and stay outside of the fence until further notice. With the ongoing changes in the water levels and the continuing cold temperatures, ice is forming in unstable, tiered layers making conditions very treacherous and dangerous.

ON STREET PARKING AROUND EAST KOOTENAY REGIONAL HOSPITAL PROHIBITED EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1ST. Due to traffic congestion during the winter months on 24th Avenue South from 2nd Street South to 1st Street South, and 23rd Avenue North from 2nd Street North to 4th Street North, because of snowbanks which are left by snow plowing activities, Council resolved in November 2009 to prohibit parking in these areas from December 1st to March 31st every year. These restrictions are required to ensure free flow of traffic to and from the hospital, particularly for emergency vehicles. This location will be patrolled on a regular basis by Bylaw Services, regardless of the weather or road conditions. The prescribed fine for being unlawfully parked in the posted area is $25.00.

KEEP YOUR HOLIDAYS FROM GOING UP IN FLAMES! CRANBROOK FIRE & EMERGENCY SERVICES OFFERS FIRE PREVENTION TIPS FOR A SAFE AND FESTIVE HOLIDAY SEASON For most of us, the holiday season represents a time for family festivities and good cheer. What few of us consider is that the holiday season is a time when there is an increased risk of home fires. According to Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services, many households engage in holiday activities that serve as some of the leading causes of home fires, including cooking. Christmas trees, candle usage and holiday decorations also significantly contribute to the seasonal causes of home fires. Add to that the hectic nature of the holidays, when people are trying to accomplish multiple tasks at one time, and the chance for home fires grows even further.

Pushed by climate change: Lake in NWT falls off cliff C anadian Press

YELLOWKNIFE - In a dramatic example of how climate change is altering the Arctic landscape, a small northern lake has fallen off a cliff after bursting through the melting earthen rampart that restrained it. A video released Wednesday by the government of the Northwest Territories shows how the lake, undermined by melting permafrost, collapsed into a valley below and created a large temporary waterfall and an oozing tongue of mud and debris. “It drained quickly,” said Steve Kokelj of the N.W.T. Geological Survey. The lake, which has no name and sits in the territory’s northern corner near the community of Fort McPherson, is a victim of the region’s geology and changing climate. Permafrost in this part of the N.W.T. contains a high percentage of ice in headwalls,

which can be up to 30 metres thick. That ice has been there since the last ice age. Trouble starts when the headwall tops are exposed by wind or rain. The ice melts, causing the soil and rock on top to collapse. That exposes more ice, which then melts and extends the collapse, and the cycle keeps repeating. On July 15, the narrow rib of land that had kept the 1.5-hectare lake from plummeting into the valley below gave way. Within two hours, 30,000 cubic metres of water - the equivalent of a dozen Olympic-sized swimming pools gushed over the edge in a waterfall up to five storeys high. Mud and debris filled more than a kilometre of the valley below and flowed for two days at the rate of 50 metres an hour. “It was one of those things that you can get out of the way of but you can’t stop,” said Kokelj.

Such slumps have been getting bigger as rainfall increases and temperatures warm. The summers of 2010 and 2012 were the wettest on record and average temperatures have increased several degrees since the 1970s. There are slumps in the N.W.T. more than a kilometre long and as large as 40 hectares that have washed loose millions of cubic metres of rubble. Kokelj estimates that the amount of land affected has more than doubled since the late 1980s. The slump that sent the lake plummeting valleyward had been at work for most of a decade. Not all the water drained. Kokelj said unfrozen sediments underneath the lake blocked further erosion and stabilized the banks. The territorial government is advising people to stay away from the area, however, because the rest of the lake might still collapse.

Canada earns ‘fossil’ tag at Paris talks C anadian Press

OTTAWA - This clearly wasn’t what federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna had in mind when she told delegates to the Paris climate conference that “Canada is back.” The Climate Action Network International awarded Canada a second place “fossil of the day” award today at the COP21 climate summit, citing the reluctance of Canadian negotiators to have compensation for weather destruction in poor countries in-

cluded in the final Paris agreement. The previous Conservative government was the object of much opposition derision when it was routinely labelled with the “fossil” tag at climate summits. In 2013 at the UN-sponsored COP19 in Warsaw, the Canadian government was handed a “lifetime unachievement award” for what environmentalists said was obstructionist behaviour. The new Liberal government came to office last month promis-

ing a renewed national priority on combating climate change, with both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and McKenna winning international plaudits for providing Canada with a new perspective. However, several sticking points remain in the final text for a Paris agreement, including whether the world’s developed countries should be liable for climate-change-related damage to some of the poorest and most vulnerable countries on the planet.

NEWS EKRH Benefits from Handcrafted Cradle Auction S UBMIT TED

The high level of patient care he received at EKRH made a strong impression on Don Hampton, Carpentry Instructor at COTR, so to spread his warm feelings of gratitude and appreciation throughout the East Kootenay Regional Hospital

(EKRH), Don built a beautifully handcrafted cradle. The cradle was on auction at the Tamarack Centre for the month of November. “EKRH has been close to my heart for many years,” says Hampton. “I was treated there and looked

after very well. I couldn’t have had any better care anywhere else. It’s important to support our hospitals because we just don’t know when we’ll need them!” Not only sealed bids were placed within the cradle enclosure, but donations as well. The highest bid came from

Linda Leigh Jaster of Cranbrook. Linda has been a huge proponent of giving back to her community, and EKFH is very grateful for her support of the auction. With the bid from the auction and donations received, this grateful patient fundraiser brought $800 to EKRH.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Continued from page 7

Pioneers wanted … Where are the pioneers of Kootenay, the men that rode in, drove in, or walked in, before the railways were built to save tenderfeet? The majority are probably scattered all over the North American continent, while not a few have gone to their last rest, says the Nelson Canadian. Some of the survivors now desire to form an organization to enable them to keep in touch with each other for the sake of good old times. Harry Cummings is in the city today and spent part of his time talking over men and events of early days with J . Fred Hume. They agreed as to the desirability of organizing a Kootenay Pioneer Association, and also that Nelson, as the present home of probably the greatest number that can be found together anywhere, might fittingly be its birthplace and headquarters. Killer train … Billy Fiddler, formerly conductor on the Fernie coal mine branch, but of late months on the Robson road, was seriously injured a few days ago by engine No. 303 that ran away on the switch back east of Cascade. He is recovering and will come out all right. There have been seven men killed by this engine and quite a number seriously injured. Ambulance needed … The movement to secure an ambulance

for Cranbrook is now an assured success. Already quite a sum has been subscribed and there is much more in sight. This movement is one of the best that has been inaugurated in this district, as it means relief for suffering humanity. Hardly a day passes but what some poor fellow is brought to town for treatment at the St. Eugene hospital. He may have fever or he may be suffering with broken limbs or crushed bones, and to see him carried in an open rig in all kinds of weather to the hospital is not a very humane sight. And there are people taken sick in town, both men and women, and under existing circumstances it is rather a hard ordeal for them to pass through, to be carried in an open rig to the hospital. Let the good work go on. Cranbrook has long needed an ambulance and now it will have one if the necessary can be raised. Close call … About half past one Tuesday morning the wholesale liquor store of A. L. McDermot was discovered to be on fire. An alarm was turned in at once and within a few minutes most of the fire brigade and many citizens were on the spot working like slaves to extinguish the flames. And they did excellent work, too, for the fire was put out before it had done much damage to the building, which was a frame one and in a condition to burn like tin-

Cranbrook was seeking an ambulance in 1906, like the one pictured above. der. The hydrant at the corner of the Cranbrook hotel was either frozen or the tap stuck, and could not be used. The damage to the building, which is owned by Alderman Jackson, will amount to about five hundred dollars and is fully covered by insurance. The damage to the stock of liquors and cigars will amount to about four thousand dollars, much of it being caused by water. Mr. McDermot was fairly well covered by insurance and will not be a big loser. Richard Patmore and family lived on the second floor, and were fortunate to escape alive. Mr. Patmore

was aroused by the smoke, and as soon as he realized that the building was on fire, he made haste to arouse Mrs. Patmore and the children, and they had to all hurry out in their night clothes, having no time to stop for dressing. Their furniture was badly damaged by smoke and water, and unfortunately they carried no insurance. The origin of the fire is supposed to be due to an overheated stove pipe or a Queen stove in the rear of the building. Heavy snow fall … Nearly nine inches of snow fell on Thursday night, one of the heaviest snowfalls

of the season, and in fact for several years. Cranbrook foundry … This institution was started about a year ago on a small basis, but has rapidly grown to meet the demands of business. We are now equipped to meet all demands in our line; we have a new lathe on the road; we can repair anything needed in the way of sawmill machinery; we can make anything in our line; “Made in Cranbrook” is a good slogan; we are prepared to make anything that a mould can be made for and repair anything that can be repaired. McKinnon & Johnston, Propr’s. Established … We are now established in our new store and although slightly inconvenienced by the delay in the arrival of a car of fixtures, are ready to fill your orders. It is our intention to carry the finest and most complete stock of Groceries, Crockery, Glassware, Men’s and Boys’ Clothing, Shoes and Furnishings; Ladies’ Shoes, Blankets, Quilts, Pillows, Trunks and Grips west of Winnipeg. We have confidence in Canada, British Columbia, Southeast Kootenay and Cranbrook, and know the good people of this city and district appreciate and are entitled to one of the largest and best stores in British Columbia, and we feel we have about supplied that demand.

BC’s carbon tax is paid by everyone in BC, companies and individuals & is frozen at $30/ton GHG emissions. It is the only broadly-applied, revenueneutral carbon tax in Canada. Tax relief equal to the cost of the tax is given back to British Columbians. See Province’s financial statements for verification. Last year, more tax relief was given back than carbon collected.

BC’s Renewable Fuels regulation requires all fuel suppliers to have a minimum of 5% renewable content in gasoline and 4% in diesel & to reduce carbon intensity by 10% in 2020. Last year, reﬁners exceeded renewable content minimums. This program reduces GHG emissions more than any other Canadian program & is the only such program in Canada. By 2020, the lowcarbon fuel requirements are expected to result in the avoidance of 2.7 million tonnes of greenhouse g a s e s annually.

ext year might be the year that you choose to visit China. With all the crazy happenings in the world and the soft Canadian dollar, a trip to China is something to consider. Of course, it is not a replacement for a beach vacation, but if you have a curious nature and enjoy history, culture, want to knock a few things off the bucket list, for a reasonable price, then this may be the country for you. In November, I visited China, travelling from Beijing to Shanghai, with a Yangtze River cruise in the middle. There is so much to talk about, that I will write about China in 4 parts – Beijing , the Great Wall, the Yangtze River and Three Gorges Dam, and Shanghai, Suzhou and shopping. November is not the time of year I would recommend visiting northern China, including Beijing. The smog was world class. This is caused by the coal plants in the north which are fired up in November to provide heat to the residents that need it, mainly Beijing. If it is 5C or less for 5 days in a row, or it is November 15, that is when the heat is turned on. We were there in early November and it was cold, about 3C, so the heat was already on and the smog was thick. On the World Air Quality Index, Beijing rated a score of 189 (unhealthy), compared to Vancouver on the same day, which rated a score of 10

(good). It’s a strange feeling to not see blue sky or the sun, from November to March. So best to visit in the spring, summer or early fall. Beijing has a population of 22 million, and a car population of 6.5 million. Owning a car in Beijing is far from a necessity, as their transit system is more than adequate, but it is a status symbol. It shows you are successful. Beijing is the political capital of China. This is evident when visiting the monuments of the city – Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, even the Olympic site. People are orderly, not overly friendly, and speech is not completely free. A military presence is noticeable, but not overwhelming. Tours of Tiananmen Square do not include any reference to turmoil or bloodshed of the 1980’s. It is simply a government meeting area, one that can hold up to 300,000 people at a time. From Tiananmen Square, you enter the Forbidden City, the former residence of the Emperor for 6 months of the year, and it was forbidden for anyone but royalty to enter this area. The other 6 months were spent at the Summer Palace. The Forbidden City is a fortress of courtyards and buildings which you must navigate before reaching the Palace. The Summer Palace is much more beautiful with 290 hectares of manicured gardens, ponds, and buildings. The last Dynasty ended in 1949, when the country became the People’s Republic of China. Now everyone has freedom to visit these monuments. On the Olympic site, in ‘Happy Valley’, we attended the Golden Mask Dynasty Show. This show was designed for the Olympics, and continues today. It is one hour of beautiful traditional costumes, dance, music and performers. Strobe lights and water effects, as well as trampoline gymnasts, contortionists, and aerial performers, give this a very ‘Cirque de Soliel’ feeling. It tells a story, and is very well done. That’s it for this time. Part 2 and the Great Wall experience next time! If you can’t wait, contact Carla Nelson, Branch Manager at Maritime Travel Cranbrook, 250.489.4788.

‘Tis the Season of Giving... The holidays are a time for giving – and your gift list probably includes your loyal pooch. Picking out presents is hard enough as it is, especially since your dog can’t speak up about what he wants this year. To make it easier on you this holiday season, we’ve compiled a list of the top nine gifts for dogs.

#6 Puzzle Food Bowl

Make the everyday task of mealtime more enjoyable and stimulating by getting your dog a puzzle food bowl. Food is hidden in secret compartments that your dog then needs to figure out how to get to in order to enjoy his meal.

#9 Bones

Every dog will appreciate a good bone, whether it be rawhide, plush or plastic.

#8 GPS Collar Device

#2 New Dog Bed

#4 Personalized Dog Collar

Splurge a little this year and get your dog a nice new bed, perhaps something made of down feathers or memory foam. Sure most dogs can fall asleep anywhere, but that doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate a good bed.

Bling out your dog’s collar this holiday season. You can rough it up with spikes, add some personalized dog tags, bedazzle it with rhinestones – make your pup feel like royalty this year.

#3 Reflective Accessories

Present your dog with the gift of safety this year. Reflective accessories are a great idea for the evening stroller. If you take a lot of walks at night, it’s good for both you and your dog to wear reflective gear in order to avoid any accidents.

#1 Reindeer Antlers

Okay, so this one is actually more for you. But come on, who doesn’t want an adorable holiday photo of their pooch in reindeer antlers? Can you say frameable Christmas card?

Getting your pet back home safe!

These nifty devices may be more of a gift for you, but it is cool nonetheless. If your dog tends to stray, it’s a good way to keep track of him and you can even set the device to send text messages when your dog wanders too far out of a chosen vicinity.

Enjoy

your winter dog walks more!

There is no greater gift.

#7 Ropes

Stay warm while your dog stays active

#5 Plush Toys

These come in all shapes, sizes, and a variety of colors. Some ropes even come combined with balls or squeaky toys to make one ultimate toy – what more could a pup ask for?

Plush toys for pets are always a bestseller. Get one with a squeaker in the middle – mildly annoying for you, but super fun for your dog.

Personalized pet tags engraved right on-site!

Treat holiday guests with this chocolate confection

ChocolateDipped Sesame Tuiles

No holiday celebration is complete without dessert. The holiday season is one time of year when no one seems too worried about indulging in dessert or having an extra cookie. Many families have their own traditions when it comes to holiday fare, but those who want to wow their guests with something new this holiday season can try the following recipe for “Chocolate-Dipped Sesame Tuiles” courtesy of Michael Recchiuti and Fran Gage’s “Chocolate Obsession” (Stewart, Tabori & Chang). Inspired by the classic French tuile cookies, these delectable treats are sure to draw a crowd to your holiday dessert table this season.

Chocolate-Dipped Sesame Tuiles Makes about 48 cookies 1/2

cup plus 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, preferably unhulled

1/3

cup granulated cane sugar

1/3

cup unbleached all-purpose flour

1/8

tablespoon kosher salt

extra-large egg whites, at room temperature

tablespoons unsalted butter with 82 percent butterfat, very soft

ounces tempered 70 percent chocolate for coating cookies

Flavorless vegetable oil for the pans To bake the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line the bottoms of four 12-by-18-inch sheet pans with parchment paper. Lightly coat the paper with flavorless vegetable oil. Put a rolling pin on a work surface. If you have two rolling pins, ready both. Combine the sesame seeds, flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk by hand until combined. Mix - don’t beat - the egg whites into the sesame seed mixture with a rubber spatula. Stir in the butter with the spatula until no streaks of butter remain. Measure 2 level teaspoons batter onto a prepared sheet pan. Using a small offset spatula, spread it into a round about 31/2 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining batter, putting 8 rounds on each pan and

leaving 1½ inches between the rounds. Bake the trays, one at a time, until the cookies are a uniform golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and, while the cookies are still warm, run the offset spatula under each cookie and place it upside down on the rolling pin so that it curls around the pin. (You should be able to do 5 cookies on a rolling pin, so by the time the sixth cookie is about to be draped over the pin, a few should be ready to be moved. Ideally, though, you will have two rolling pins.) If some of the cookies are not a uniform color, or if some cool too much and are no longer pliable, return them to the oven for another minute until evenly golden brown and again pliable.

Leave the cookies on the rolling pin until they cool completely and have become brittle, a matter of seconds. Carefully lift them off and store them in an airtight container at room temperature until you are ready to dip them. They will keep well for up to 3 days. Dip the cookies in chocolate: You can store the cookies and dip them on a day when you have tempered chocolate for another use. Or you can temper chocolate specifically to finish the cookies. Use a tempering machine to temper the chocolate. Dip the convex (smooth) side of each cookie into the chocolate and then smooth the chocolate with a small offset spatula.

TORONTO - Tensions between animal rights activists and big-game hunters are set to boil over thanks to a trophy hunting conference scheduled for Toronto next month. Several animal rights groups are planning to protest the African Hunting Events show at a suburban Holiday Inn in mid-January.

But an event organizer says activists are uneducated about hunting in Africa. Birgit Johnstone, a director with African Events Canada that is organizing the twoday show along with others in

Don’t talk about important stuff when drinking Part two of two Dear Feeling Strung Out: Two weeks ago I wrote to you explaining how your husband reacts when he drinks alcohol. This week it’s your turn to hear what my guides have said about you. Always take the information from my guides as a learning tool to get to know who you are without judgment or criticism. This is imperative if you wish to grow and learn and perhaps change what you don’t like about yourself. There is no room for judgment in my world anymore; it’s tiresome, cruel, and unnecessary to live under the structure of judgments with any individual including myself. You have a tendency to drink a bit too much as well and my guide smilingly states that you get a bit “mushy” when you’ve had a few and this is why your husband thinks you are “soft soaping him. This means when you two get sober and the next day you tell him the way it is; he becomes defensive and freaks out on you and then you both start to argue. This scenario that you both have created has been going on for years in your marriage. The

solution to this problem is don’t you get stressed out you clearly actalk about anything important knowledge and understand that when you are drinking with this you are getting stressed and you man. Don’t talk about anything watch what you say and do. You important the next day with this keep the lines of communication man. Talk to him a few days after open at all times with the people when you have both recuperated a that work under you whether you are stressed out or bit and sit down not. When your huscalmly and discuss band get’s stressed the issues that you want to with your ASK WENDY out he does not acknowledge or underhusband. I asked Wendy stand how he talks my guide why he Evano and acts. He runs picked this pattern around in circles tryof behaviour as a ing to keep up with solution in your relationship. He stated that you the pace of life and work. He tells two seem to drink heavily on the everybody including you that he weekends and not during the week doesn’t have time to talk or to listen because of your work ethics. He and he shuts down. The result is stated you both have very strong the people around him and you work ethics, and high stress jobs. have a tendency to get frustrated Then smiling at me he said, “The with him. The reason why everybluntness and the honesty of this one get’s frustrated with him inwomen is what attracted him to her cluding yourself is because now he when they were dating. Ironic isn’t is on his own time line and he does it, Wendy how humans are some- not care about anyone else’s time line. I really noticed that this sumtimes.” Let’s talk about his and your mer when I had the flood and with high stress jobs. You can cope some of the men and women I enmuch better in your job than your countered. I heard this statement husband can. For example: When over and over sometimes in a pas-

sive or aggressive manner. “Wendy I don’t have time to talk to you about this problem concerning the flood, I have to go.” What do you say to these types of people? “Oh, I’m not busy, just you are? Or “Oh this is all about you and your job and definitely not about my problem or me; I’m just suppose to pay you and not discuss the pitfalls of the situation of what I want? I mean really does a person have to do everything and pack as much as they can in one day. Do these types of people have to say yes I will do it to everyone when you know the odds are there is only an 8 hour workday and it can’t possibly all get done on that day. Unless you are a workaholic like me that works 12 to 14 hour days and even then I never get everything I want to do on that day done. I think this type of personality I am referring to doesn’t sit back and say this is all I can do today. I can’t promise someone I will be there to do the job and mean it. I believe when I talk to the majority of people around me I know they are saying, “I just need to keep up with the pace” and when they cannot do it they start to get a

little agitated and angry. I mean realistically who can keep up with the pace in this day and age; it’s crazy out there. So what I am trying to say is you are not natured this way and your husband and many others out there are, very frustrating indeed don’t you agree to work or be around this type of personality. In conclusion say it the way it is like you always do when you are both not drinking. Remind him that those qualities of bluntness and honesty is what attracted him to you in the first place. Don’t wait till you are half tipsy to have some liquid courage and tell him half – truths, so he doesn’t get mad at you. Because when he is sober and you have changed your story he’s going to get mad at you again because now he is becoming frustrated and confused with the new issue. You are a capable, strong, smart woman. Your husband is a smart man tell him like it is more often ad I think he will start to understand you better. Not everyone is psychic you know. Wendy

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll want to quickly bypass a problem. Life will provide an intervention that helps you accomplish this. You might not have the luxury of acting independently. Your temper could flare, as too much is happening too quickly. Tonight: Read between the lines with a friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Defer to others. Your message seems unclear. You get what is happening around you, but you might not understand how it came to be. You could feel exhausted by the whole matter. You probably should let someone more energized deal with it. Tonight: Go with a surprise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) People around you might add to your present confusion, but they seem to think they are acting with clarity. Stay open and ask questions. Still, you could feel a limitation when speaking to a key person, as he or she won’t answer you directly. Tonight: Sharpen your listening skills.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Reach out to someone who tends to be unpredictable. This person might be able to translate what is being said with a work- or health-related matter. Confusion surrounds you, which will make it difficult to respond. Tonight: Laughter goes far in relieving tension. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be willing to jump through hoops for someone, but you won’t tolerate being pushed by him or her. Before you throw your hands in the air in total frustration, tell this person how you feel. Give him or her time to digest what you have said. Tonight: Say “no” if need be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might feel as if you are dealing with a difficult situation and can’t seem to handle a family member who is very headstrong. You could be past the point of wanting to be more understanding. Let off some steam. Tonight: Say “yes” to the unpredictable. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Try to figure out what it will take

Tundra

to make a loved one understand your limits. You could be too tired to deal with the issue, and easily might lose your temper. Be careful about what you will say if this should happen. Tonight: Approach a situation from a different perspective. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) How you manage a changing situation could be a lot different from how you initially had intended to. You see matters quite differently from how a loved one does, but you’ll be willing to get this person’s input. You will like the results. Tonight: Do some holiday shopping. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have the energy and willpower to deal with a problem. What a roller coaster ride! Confusion seems to surround communication, but you understand the essence of what needs to happen. Dealing with others will take patience. Tonight: Make it OK to do your own thing! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Recognize when a matter is too hot to handle. Do yourself a favor and don’t offer to help;

instead, go about your business as usual. You also might be concerned that all the facts have yet to be revealed. Tonight: Put on some music, and turn off your phone for a little while. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Learn how to say “enough is enough.” You’ll want to be diplomatic yet clear. Understand that you might not be getting the whole story. Stay optimistic. You could be shocked by what some people continue to say over and over. Tonight: Join friends for some holiday cheer. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might not be aware of the amount of frustration you’re sitting on, especially when handling a loved one and making a very important choice. Your ability to come to terms with this person might force you to reassess your position. Tonight: Be a realist first.

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My 35-year-old son, “Edgar,” has been diagnosed with major depression and is receiving disability. He currently lives in an apartment on my parents’ property. Since Edgar is currently vehicle-less, I’ve been helping him with grocery shopping, etc. Last week, after a bout of extreme allergy symptoms, his depression escalated, and he texted me, saying, “I don’t care about anything anymore. My life is worthless.” He claimed he had no food left, but refused to let me bring over groceries. He said he didn’t care if he wasted away, although he promised not to kill himself. Over the weekend, I texted him, but there was no response. By Monday, I was frantic. I reached out to his physician, leaving a message with the assistant, emphatically stating that my son promised he would not harm himself. He just didn’t want to eat. I told the assistant that it was crucial that I speak with the doctor before an intervention. Well, this inept nitwit conveyed the wrong information to the doctor, resulting in a call from the police inquiring about a welfare check. And instead of talking to me, the doctor phoned my parents. Then Edgar called, ranting that I have totally messed up his life because I told his doctor he was suicidal. I phoned the doctor, who apologized profusely for the confusion her assistant had caused and assured me that she would call my son and straighten things out. I waited another day and then sent Edgar a text, wanting to open communications. He replied, “Forget it, the damage is already done. I can’t go back to that doctor.” He said he was going to move far away where no one could find him. What do I do? -Drama Dear Drama: You need to give Edgar some breathing room. Although he may actually be grateful that you care, this much attention to his mental health might be overwhelming him. Send a calm text, saying you love him, you’re sorry you upset him, and that you hope he will get back in touch soon. We know you are worried, but there is only so much you can do without his cooperation. Meanwhile, please contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness at 1-800-950-NAMI (nami. org). Dear Annie: I had to response to “Torn,” whose husband was desperate to stop his daughter from marrying outside their religion. Two of my four children married someone of another faith. Their partners are perfect for them, and they love each other very much. I can only hope my other two children find people who love and cherish them as much. Religion isn’t everything. It’s only part of who a person is. If they want to have a relationship with their daughter, they will have to be more open-minded. -- Happy Mother-in-Law Dear Happy: We agree. But we also understand that many parents react to this as though the child is rejecting not only their parents’ faith, but also the parents themselves, and it is painful for them. It takes time for some parents to accept that people of all religions (or lack thereof ) can be part of a loving family. We hope both “Torn” and her husband will do their best to remain close to their daughter. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

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

St. Nicholas: Conquering with love Ana s tasia Bartl e t t

In our preparation for the coming Saviour, we commemorate the Bishop of Myra, St. Nicholas on December 6. Saint Nicholas was a very real person who live in the early 300s in Turkey. His parents died in an epidemic when he was a child, leaving him a fortune and he was raised by his uncle, the Bishop of Patara. Nicholas was said to be very pious from an early age and, as a young man, was ordained to the priesthood. He spent time in a monastery from which he was called to be made bishop of Myra. He never lived for riches and gave his money away at every opportunity. Nicholas is a Greek name meaning ‘Conqueror of the people’, and he conquered people exactly the way Jesus Christ did, by loving them, by helping them,

by teaching them, and by serving them. There are many stories about the saint. One of the more popular involves a poor man who had three daughters. The man was unable to provide a dowry for them which meant they were unable to be married. Instead the three young women were destined for a life of slavery and prostitution. As each girl came of age to marry, the saint snuck by their house at night and secretly tossed a bag of gold through the window. Each girl was able to marry well. Once a ship in the Mediterranean became grounded in shallow water during a storm. At this time, Bishop Nicholas was known for his compassion and aid and the sailors called on him to pray for them. Miraculously, an image of the saint appeared and assisted the men to

accused. There are several stories about Bishop Nicholas intervening to feel people during a famine. Once he removed wheat to from a ship in port to distribute locally. The ship was

destined for the capital and the crew was scared since their load would be underweight when they arrived. Miraculously, they had the same amount of wheat upon their arrival as they did when the ship was originally loaded. The bishop also loaded a boat with wheat, fruit and nuts to take to another town and there he left baskets of food at each doorstep in the middle of the night. In 325, he was one of many bishops who attended the First Council of Nicaea. There, Nicholas confronted the heretic Arius who denied the divinity of Christ. Some of these stories may be based in fact and others may be apocryphal but they are all true because they convey the truth of St Nicholas for us to emulate. Jesus announced His ministry by reading Isaiah; “The Spirit of the

godly in all his words and deeds, proclaiming the Word of God. He defended the rights of the oppressed and afflicted. He battled injustice with compassion and mercy. He was a man who from his youth, kept the great commandment to love God with all his heart and mind and soul and to love his neighbour as himself. “The giver of every good and perfect gift has called upon us to mimic God’s giving, by grace, through faith, and this is not of ourselves.” St. Nicholas of Myra This should be our goal.

Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,” then telling the people, “today this scripture has been fulfilled”. It is fitting that during this time of preparation for the saviour’s birth, we are given the ultimate example of a man who continued to fulfil Christ’s mission on earth, the mission with which we are all entrusted. Even the modern day caricature of the red-suited Santa Claus and his reindeer, can’t fully hide the true Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas possessed the fruit of the spirit. He lived daily with the Lord and was
