C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Usually if a bylaw is going to be changed from what is first presented to Council it will happen during first reading. That was not the case with Smoking Bylaw No. 2528, which was quite substantially amended this week at third reading, the last stop before adoption. The bylaw had already been altered by a friendly amendment to include no smoking allowed on any trails within the City of Kimberley. This was mainly in response to a worry about a discarded cigarette starting a fire. However, at the regular meeting Monday evening, Councillors Albert Hoglund and Darryl Oakley indicated they would not be supporting the bylaw because of that amendment. Hoglund said the bylaw went too far as written. “I can see the need for a bylaw for the Platzl, for areas where kids are, but adding all trails has gone way too far.” “I appreciate the desire for a healthy community,” Oakley said. “But as written it doesn’t match what we’re trying to do. I understand there is a fire risk, but we should be responding to that with Smokey the Bear signs. Second hand smoke is not really a health risk on trails. It doesn’t jive.” Coun. Nigel Kitto said it was a fantastic bylaw, moving in the right direction. “There is no safe limit for particulate matter,” he said. Mayor Don McCormick said that most of the feedback he has received has been that the bylaw is being misunderstood, and that was on Mayor and Council. “We are trying to accomplish two things with a single bylaw. It’s confused people. It’s misunderstood. It’s not about a health risk on trails, it’s about a fire risk. If we start bringing in bylaws where there is confusion or a perception that they are useless, that concerns me.” See Page 3

Translocation study to begin mid-February
Please stay away and let biologists work C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
A study on the translocation of mule deer in the East Kootenay is set to get underway in Cranbrook, Kimberley, Elkford and Invermere in mid-February. In advance of that Kimberley City Council amended its deer feeding bylaw this week to allow for deer to be baited with food so they can be tranquilized and moved. The window for the study is from mid-February to mid-March. What residents of any of the communities where the study is being carried out can do, says Kimberley City Councillor Darryl Oakley, is stay away if you happen to see the trapping and tranquilizing happening. Oakley, who is the council representative on Kimberley’s Urban Deer Committee, says the whole idea is to make the translo-
cation happen with as little stress to the animals as possible. “It’s really important that people realize that this is a full on scientific project,” Oakley said. “There will be biologists from Vast Resource, Ministry biologists and veterinarians. To keep this project going people need to make sure when they see them doing their work, leave them alone. The less people around the better, to minimize stress.” The deer will be trapped using clover traps, but a smaller, lighter trap than was used in any of the controversial culls. These traps squeeze in from the side, which will immobilize the animal and allow the vet to administer the tranquilizer. “They will move does and fawns together,” Oakley said. “But if you catch a doe in a trap, it’s likely that the fawn will be around too. Animals not caught in traps will be darted so we can keep family units together.” The study will pick areas of each community where there is a

The mule deer translocation study will begin in a couple of weeks. large enough space to allow for darting and to give the animals room to roam around until the tranquilizer takes effect. The deer will then be fitted
with radio collars and moved out of town in a horse trailer with straw bedding. Locations to let the deer go have already been chosen but are not being disclosed. Oakley says that the collars will send out a signal once every twelve hours. If the animal is not heard from in 24 hours, they will be checked. “There are animals out there already collared — a control group,” Oakley said. “We want to know — if an animal is taken by a predator, are there control group animals being taken as well, or have the animals being transported lost their prey instinct?” This is an extended process and there will be no answers overnight as to whether translocation is a tool that might be used in control of urban deer. “We do ask people to respect how it all unfolds. This is a study, not an attempt to reduce numbers. We want to see if it will work. We will need patience. It will be a year after translocations before we know if it worked.”

Midwinter beach dance party to Last minute change to set Centennial Hall rockin’ smoking bylaw For the Bulletin
Victoria’s seasoned ska and reggae fest veterans Sweetleaf will be rocking Kimberley’s Centennial Hall on Saturday night, January 30, for the Midwinter Beach Dance Party being hosted by Kimberley Arts Council’s Live at Studio 64 committee. Kicking off the evening at 9 p.m. will be local favourites Hot Muck, with Sweetleaf keeping the beat going ‘til close at 12.30 a.m. Sweetleaf debuted in Victoria in 2012 and has since become one of the top bands at the annual Victoria Ska Fest. Sweetleaf is more than just a ska/ reggae band, however, launching on occasion into hip hop, funk, punk, jazz, soul, and bluegrass. Says leader Chris Jones (guitar/vocals), “We play anything we write that has a fun, danceable rhythm.” With a 3-piece horn section, this new-age Canadian ska and reggae band can really liven up a party. “Their reggae-rock rhythms are reminiscent of hanging around with friends at the beach, drinkin’, smokin’, and straight West Coastin’,” wrote one reviewer. In addition to singer-guitarist Chris Jones the band features Jason Ramalho on sax, Scot Renton on trombone, Greg Elliott on trumpet, Zack Knippel on bass, and Ethan Horan on drums. Last year the band released its first album, Stress Leave, now available online through Bandcamp. Kimberley’s Hot Muck have been making a name for themselves as a great party band, too, appearing at various local hangouts including aprés ski at the Stemwinder. The band comprises Ryan Peterson on banjo and guitar, Brian Morris on guitar, Sean Downes on bass, Allyson Blake on fiddle and Rick Krewenchuk on
From Page 1 Oakley said that if you were going to start fining people for smoking on trails, where would it end? “If they do a prescribed burn at Ta Ta Creek and the town fills with smoke, do we fine them?” It could be a new source of revenue, Coun. Kent Goodwin joked. In the end, Oakley, Sandra Roberts, Hoglund and McCormick voted to take the trails amendment out of the bylaw. After the vote, McCormick expressed satSweetleaf Music Facebook/Trevor Ball photography

isfaction that council had done the right thing in his opinion. “We want bylaws in place that are solid and relevant,” he said. “Our new corporate officer is going through all city bylaws now, looking for any that need updates.” As for the smoking bylaw, it will still be illegal to smoke outdoors in the Platzl and at public parks. The city will find a different way to educate trail users about fire risk. “Our intention at the time was good but we tried to achieve two separate things in one bylaw,” McCormick said.

Kimberley: a good place to be welcoming Public meeting on January 19 For the Bulle tin
The Kimberley Refugee Resettlement Group (KRRG) will hold its first evening meeting on Tuesday, January 19, from 6:30-8:00pm, at the Kimberley Aquatic Centre meeting room. It is open to all who want to be a part of welcoming refugee families to Kimberley, as well as anyone who simply wants to learn more about the Group’s direction and progress. Bringing two families to Kimberley will cost approximately $54,000, in cash and in-kind contributions. The Canadian government provides about $20,000 of that figure with KRRG responsible for $34,000. The Group is learning from this first project as it plans for future opportunities. Already KRRG has in hand $4,300 in donations, according to treasurer Louise Hockley. The Fundraising Team coordinator, Lee Scott, is quick to point out this is before any concerted fundraising effort has been launched. Cash donations are already being accepted at Kootenay Savings Credit Union; Kimberley & District Community Foundation (online at www.kimberleyfoundation.ca); and by mailing checks to “Kimberley Refugee Resettlement Group”, 452 Forest Crowne Rise, Kimberley V1A 0A5. In addition, a number of Kimberley corporate businesses have agreed to support KRRG,

both financially and through in-kind donations. KRRG is encouraging residents and local businesses to find creative ways to respond to its question, “What can you do to help KRRG?” From a standing start in late November, the group has passed several milestones, says the Group’s chair, Peggy Frederiske. Teams worked through the holiday season and are already reporting encouraging progress toward bringing two refugee families to Kimberley. KRRG’s core organizing group reconvened Thursday, January 7th (PICTURE ATTACHED), with reports from each of three teams: one focused on meeting the requirements for engaging in the refugee process; one on
communicating KRRG’s activities to the larger community; and a third on raising funds. The teams’ enthusiasm, focus and effectiveness are being reflected in the growing number of people expressing interest in the project, according to the Group’s founder, Colin MacKenzie. It was his passion for humanitarian outreach which set the project in motion. The Communications Team reported on KRRG’s first outreach to the larger community, a successful presentation to the Kimberley Rotary Club’s first meeting of the year. Going forward, KRRG presentations can be booked by contacting Dave Hale (250/4274300). This team also wel-

More funds for popular granting programs Columbia Basin Trust commits 15 per cent increase to support local projects (Columbia Basin) – Community projects will be getting access to more funds this spring through Columbia Basin Trust’s popular Community Initiatives and Affected Areas programs. The Trust announced a 15 per cent increase from $3.6 million per year throughout the Basin, to over $4.2 million per year for each of the next five years. “We are pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with local governments and First Nations to identify local priorities and deliver benefits to Basin communities,” said Neil Muth, President and CEO. “The ultimate goal is to support the projects
that are important to residents, and we know this increase will help communities do more.” Started in 1998, these programs are the Trust’s longest running granting programs designed to help address the needs of Basin communities. The Trust distributes funds to local government and First Nation partners once a year, and communities then use various methods—from local council decisions to votes from residents—to decide which projects will receive grants. “We are very pleased that CBT has decided to increase the funding for this program,” said Revelstoke Mayor Mark McKee. “Over the past 18 years, the program has provided significant support for many community projects that could not have proceeded without the funds provided by the Trust, and
these projects have really benefitted our residents and improved their quality of life in many ways.” “From Better Babies to seniors programs, educational initiatives, environmental projects and community hall renovations, the Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Programs have provided critical support to a broad range of projects that have directly benefited the residents in our communities,” says RDEK Board Chair Rob Gay. “Every year we are over-subscribed, and the increase in funding is fantastic news as it will allow even more people to benefit from these valuable programs.”The new five-year commitment totals over $21 million and extends to 2021.

Some sarcasm necessary “If, after several goof ups, you don’t succeed, try something more hazardous to your health.” Bill Einstein
It
astounds me that, even after all these years of different governments that are basically the same old same old, each one attempts to protect us from wasting stuff. Take toilets, for example. Years ago, American friends would venture here to Canada for a little skiing vacation then, on the way home, purchase a Canadian built crapper and somehow smuggle it into the U.S. of A., whose government had sagaciously decreed that American cans used far too much precious water. The result was that there was massive concern in the States because the manufacturers put smaller tanks over the bowls and so half the population found that they had to flush two or three times to get rid of the poop. This caused more than a stink. Last year I purchased here in Canada a lovely, fashionable new porcelain karsy that weighed about 50 kilograms or 21 metric wattages — according to my son who, while I packed the bill, carried it upstairs for me. This new throne for my reading room has two buttons on the top, in order to give me consternation whilst I
try to decide which one to press in order to remove what I have deposited within. To tell the truth, it really doesn’t matter because it is inevitable that I shall need to press both firmly then wait while the tank refills itself, then, in order to remove whatever detritus remains, press again. Then, in a fit of insanity, I purchased a new electric oven. Apparently, according to an honest dealer in such commodities (not another commode, Auntie), the government of Canada has decreed that old electric ovens used too much power. My new one Peter is an ultra-conservationist Warland and turns off the power when I am cooking, if it deems I am using too much electricity, and, what is more, this oven’s concept of cleaning itself is to use water. In actual fact, I am ordered to put a cup of distilled water in the tray at the bottom, turn on the self-clean switch then stand back and be blinded by the results. Well, I have been blinded by the fumes of Comet, Shout, Vim, Brillo Pads, C.L.R. and several other concoctions that I have utilized with my previously-unused tooth-brushes, wire brushes, sandpaper and the sweat that has poured from my forehead as I scrubbed, scraped and used very ungentlemanly language in order to get the damn thing clean. Being of a scientific bent (not quite as
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
some acquaintances say it) I have just placed an egg in the oven whilst it cleanses itself. When the process is over, I will be willing to wager that the egg will not be cooked. If it is, then the egg I’ll have all over my face will not be raw. Now, I discover that I have need of a new dishwasher. I can just imagine what kind of performance I’ll get from that. My lovely domestic daughter, queen of her renovated kitchen, has just warned me about the misbehaviour of her own new dishwasher. “One thing,” she informed me, “is that, once it starts on a process, you can’t stop the damn thing. It’s off doing its business and you’re out of luck for an hour.” Well, knowing my penchant for forgetting some cups, forks, and even dishes when I switch a machine to ‘wash’ then shoving them in after the process is started, I am definitely going to be in trouble with the new monster. I was whimpering about my future troubles to a good friend and she recounted the story of how her children, when they were young and naïve, purchased a dish-washer for her on her birthday. “I laughed,” she told me. “I explained that they’d bought the thing for themselves. They washed up; I didn’t.” That made a lot of sense to me but, when I think of the alternative, I am not keen to go through the messy business of raising another family just to produce a team of washer-ups.

Slow start sinks Ice as Blades cruise to victory Saskatoon Blades skate to decisive 5-1 victory over Kootenay Ice Tuesday at Western Financial Place
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
One bad period, 20 minutes of unpreparedness is all it took to sink the Kootenay Ice Tuesday night at Western Financial Place. The visiting Saskatoon Blades showed up ready to play and scored three times in the opening period en route to a decisive 5-1 victory. “I’m dumbfounded,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, following Tuesday’s loss. “We talked a lot about what to be prepared for and what to expect. We were still having our pre-game nap when the game started. It’s unacceptable and I’ll take responsibility for my portion of preparing our team. Obviously they didn’t listen to our message. Myself and Gord [assistant coach Burnett] have to be accountable to that. It’s disappointing. “I think part of it is us over thinking who we are or under thinking our opponent. I think guys were outside their heads today, all worried about who’s on what line and who is going to be on the power play and who is playing with who. “Just go play the game. If you play well, you’ll be rewarded for it. It’s a pretty simple matter.” Blades veteran Terrell Draude kick-started the scoring only 2:18 into the festivities, sending a long shot that appeared to redirect past Ice goaltender Declan Hobbs for a 1-0 Saskatoon lead. In the latter stages of the opening period, Blades captain Nick Zajac put two more daggers on the board, ultimately giving the visitors all the offense necessary to win Tuesday night. First, Ice defence-
man Troy Murray coughed up a costly turnover at centre ice, which was quickly pounced upon and turned the other way by Blades savvy veteran Connor Gay. A quick pass to the 20-year-old Zajac led to a nifty move in tight and the native of Headingly, Man., had doubled his team’s advantage in the blink of an eye. As seems to happen all too often with this year’s edition of the Kootenay Ice, the opponent found a way to strike late in a period, with Zajac once again the culprit inflicting the damage. With Ice sophomore Vince Loschiavo serving a minor penalty for delay of game after putting the puck over the glass and out of play, Zajac parked his 5-foot10, 180-pound frame in front of Hobbs on the power play. A point shot from Blades import defenceman Libor Hajek was booted out by Hobbs, but Zajac was there to swat the rebound home for a commanding 3-0 lead with only 51 seconds remaining in the period. “It didn’t seem like everyone was ready to go,” said Ice defenceman Tanner Lishchynsky, who earlier in the day was named the 20th captain in Kootenay Ice franchise history (see Thursday’s Townsman/ Bulletin for a feature on Lishchynsky and the Ice captaincy). “I take that on myself. I try to get guys ready to go and I’ve got to do a better job of that. “We weren’t ready for them and how hard they were going to come out. That was our biggest downfall in the game.” The situation only got worse from there for the Ice. After failing to convert on a power-play op-
portunity that stretched across the final 24 seconds of the first period and into the early stages of the second, the Ice got into penalty trouble midway through the middle period. In sequence, Roman Dymacek was sent off for interference 4:53 in. With only 1:18 having elapsed on the penalty to the Czech national, Ice defenceman Ryan Pouliot was then tagged for a high-sticking minor, giving the Blades 42 seconds of 5-on-3 power-play time. Just as the Ice had finished killing the Dymacek minor, Lishchynsky was caught for cross-checking in front of his own net and sent to the sin bin with 1:07 remaining in the minor to Pouliot. Give most teams that much consecutive time with a two-man power play and they will eventually find a way to convert. Defenceman Dustin Perillat, making his Blades debut after being acquired from the Moose Jaw Warriors Jan. 4, hammered a point shot through a crowd. The puck found the back of the net with only 10 seconds remaining in Pouliot’s infraction. The 5-on-3 goal gave the visitors a 4-0 lead and spelled the end of the night for Hobbs, who surrendered four goals on 22 shots. Veteran Wyatt Hoflin entered the game in relief. “The penalty problems, some of them come from frustration and they’re unnecessary,” Pierce said. “But we should have had that type of emotion to start the game with and you probably kill them off because you know guys are just working. But then they look like they’re just frustration penalties and we don’t kill them.

Freshly-minted Kootenay Ice captain Tanner Lishchynsky (#3) races ahead of Blades forward Wyatt Sloboshan (#13) Tuesday night at Western Financial Place. Lishchynsky and the Ice were unable to overcome his hometown team as the Blades skated to a 5-1 win. “We smothered them for about 10 minutes in the second period there after we got through the penalty trouble. To me, that’s not something that’s positive. It’s something that’s an expectation. There’s absolutely no reason you can’t do that at the start of the game and finish it out.” Ice right winger Jesse Zaharichuk gave his club a momentary spark midway through the period with a great solo effort in the offensive zone. After jumping on a loose puck just inside the blueline, the 18-year-old native of Sherwood Park, Alta., zigged and zagged his way towards the net before dishing off to Matt Alfaro, who was left with a wide-open cage to shoot at. The tally went up as Alfaro’s 13th of the campaign and extended Zaharichuk’s point streak (2-5-7) to four games. A relatively uneventful third period saw the Ice fail to muster much of anything productive on the power play.
NFL approves Rams’ move from St. Louis to Los Angeles Schuyler Dixon Associated Press
HOUSTON - NFL owners voted Tuesday to allow the St. Louis Rams to move to a new stadium outside Los Angeles, and the San Diego Char-
gers will have an option to share the facility. The Oakland Raiders, who also wanted to move to the area, were left out of the deal, but could move to Los An-
geles if San Diego doesn’t, Commissioner Roger Goodell said. The move ends NFL’s 21-year absence from the nation’s second-largest media market.
The Chargers can continue to negotiate with San Diego for a new stadium, while keeping the option of joining the Rams at the $1.8 billion complex set to be built.
Blades forward Ryan Graham was sent off for tripping only 1:16 into the final period but the Ice were unable to manage a single shot on the ensuing advantage. Midway through the third period, Cameron Hausinger was ticketed for kneeing, giving the Ice a third power-play. Once again, there was nothing much to speak of in terms of scoring opportunities and the Blades coasted the rest of the way. Blades newcomer Braylon Shmyr put an exclamation point on the victory, hammering an absolute laser of a shot off the iron behind Hof-
lin’s glove with only 1:39 remaining in the game. At the end of the night, Hoflin was good on 18 of the 19 shots he faced in mop-up duty. At the other end of the rink, Blades goaltender Brock Hamm was steady as he made 23 saves for his 12th win of the season. With the loss, the Ice fall to 8-33-3-0. The victory boosted the Blades to 16-23-3-0 and within four points of the Edmonton Oil Kings (17-20-5-0) for the final wild-card slot in the WHL’s Eastern Conference. Next up, the Ice face the Prince Albert Raid-
ers (24-14-3-1) Friday night (7 p.m.) at Western Financial Place. The Blades carry on to visit the Spokane Chiefs (19-17-3-2) Wednesday. Notes: The Ice were without RW Jaedon Descheneau (shoulder, indefinite), C Noah Philp (lower body, day to day) and D Dallas Hines Tuesday night… The Blades went without the services of D Jake Kustra, C Cameron Hebig (upper body, day to day) and C Luke Gingras… Tuesday’s tilt saw 1,801 spectators in attendance on 2-for-1 night at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook…

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your inner conversations might be far more viable than your actual interactions are. Slow down and touch base with what you feel. You could feel restricted in some way, as if some facts are being held back. Know what you desire from a situation. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Something you’ve wanted for a long time becomes a possibility. A friend could play a strategic role in making this desire happen. You won’t appreciate a naysayer who is lingering around you. Ignore this person. Allow yourself to brainstorm creatively. Tonight: Meet up with friends. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be in the position to accept extra responsibility. You also will find an avenue for your creativity and your emerging ideas. A partner or loved one could be insecure or jealous that you have this opportunity. Do not allow his or her attitude to get to you. Tonight: Time for a chat.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Reach out for more information, detach and try to see the big picture. Your inability to get past a problem marks your day in some way. Get help or delegate the problem to someone else. It might not be worth your time to work through this issue. Tonight: Someone shares a new idea. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) One-on-one relating provides a new path to better ideas. You might have a dream of what could be. Start working toward making that a reality. Dealing with someone who doesn’t feel inspired could be difficult. This fatigue will encourage him or her to withdraw. Tonight: Pay bills. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others might confuse you, as they are so enthusiastic and full of ideas. You might wonder what happened to them, especially if you are stuck dealing with a grump at some point. Get into what is positive in your life, and you will be much happier. Tonight: Say “yes” to living. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Accomplish what is needed
in order to move past a road block. Count on the fact that your instincts are right-on. Your intuition will work very well for you. Optimism builds as you take action. Stay focused on what you are doing. Tonight: Do not allow someone to distract you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Understand what is happening within your immediate circle. Others depend on you for that spark of creativity that makes all the difference. You could feel burdened or popular; your attitude depends on your mindset. Allow greater give-and-take. Tonight: Understand the role you play. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be in the position of making decisions that work for you. A family member or a roommate might confuse you with his or her skepticism. You will want to deliberate, but a discussion with an older person is likely to answer your question. Tonight: Head home early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to consider some new options. The path ahead of you could be unclear until you
discuss each one. Refuse to let your innate cynicism get into the mix. Manifest dynamic and creative thinking in deciding the approach that will work. Tonight: Have a long-overdue talk. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be aware of your finances. A mistake could happen way too easily. Double-check your figures and count your change. Keep your wallet nearby. You could feel very generous toward a loved one. If so, make sure you can afford to follow through. Tonight: Treat a family member. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your imagination could take you way beyond the limits of others’ thoughts at the moment. You will want to toss an idea or two into the ring to see if they can be worked with. What seems like a brilliant solution might not be workable. Tonight: As you like it.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Dear Annie: Several years ago my brother-in-law died. He had been married to my older sister for 50 years. They had no children. She did not want to live alone, nor did she want to live with a roommate. In order to solve the situation, I sold my home and bought a duplex where she could live in one unit and I would live in the other. This arrangement has worked out very well for both of us. Here’s the issue: My siblings never visit with me, even though they often come to see my sister. I always learn of their visits after the fact, when my sister tells me about them in conversation. At first I was puzzled by their lack of consideration to take a few moments to say hello to me, at least periodically. But then I realized they had made a choice as to who they would visit and who they would not. If I happen to be at my sister’s place when one of my siblings stops by, I am always very cordial. I spend a social amount of time in conversation with them and enjoy their company. I do not overstay my visit in order to allow them time to visit with one another. They have never communicated with me much, and I have accepted this as the norm. I have reached out in the past to call them and sometimes go to their homes to visit so that I am not accused of failing to remain in contact. But it doesn’t seem to be reciprocal. I harbor no ill will toward them and realize that I have no control over their behavior. I’m simply confused as to why this situation developed. I continue with my life and my friends, hoping someday I will understand. -- Bewildered Sibling Dear Bewildered: You could ask them why, when they are so close to your home, they do not stop by to say hello or phone ahead to have you join them at your sister’s. You could also ask your sister why she doesn’t suggest they visit you when they are at her place. You and your siblings seem to have a rather detached relationship and there could be any number of reasons for it, but you won’t know unless you ask them directly whether there is any way to close the distance. Dear Annie: Can you please explain the difference between unconditional love and enabling? I see so much enabling in the name of love. -- Frustrated Dear Frustrated: Unconditional love means you love someone regardless of their behavior, while not necessarily condoning what they say or do. (For example, your daughter steals from you. You are angry about it and no longer trust her, but you still love her.) Enabling is acting in a way that allows the loved one to continue behavior that is damaging either to himself or to others. (You make excuses for your alcoholic husband when he’s too hung over to show up for work.) A lot of folks can’t tell the difference. And it is often easier to be an enabler than to hold someone responsible for their behavior. But “easier” is the wrong choice.

YOUR AD in the TOWNSMAN has staying power. has selling power!
With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website 1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user. 2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand
extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.
3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach. 4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper
Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.
5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web
content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. 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

Stigma, loss of identity reasons for hiding cancer diagnosis Sheryl Ubel acker Canadian Press

avid Bowie’s death Sunday from cancer came as a shock to many because the iconic musician had apparently kept his 18-month-long illness secret from all but his family and most intimate friends. But with cancer such a common and widely talked-about disease, why do some people choose to carefully guard their diagnosis — especially when others feel compelled to take to social media and other public venues to chronicle their cancer journey step by step, even up to death? “It’s a very individualized decision,” Christine Williams, scientific director at the Canadian Cancer Society, said Tuesday. “We talk a lot about personalized medicine in treating cancer, but the emotional experience of cancer is also very personal for people. “And different people react in different ways.” Dr. Gary Rodin, head of supportive care at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, said many people may not realize in this era of

Facebook and other online vehicles for personal disclosure and self-expression that it wasn’t so long ago that the word “cancer” was often whispered, referred to by euphemisms like “the Big C,” or not voiced at all. The psychiatrist recalled being told by a U.S. doctor, who helped pioneer the practice of psychosocial oncology, that in the 1950s she wanted to run an ad in the New York Times for a support group for women with breast cancer. “The New York Times said that’s fine, but you can’t use the word cancer and you can’t use the word breast,” said Rodin, noting that there is now far more openness about cancer, thanks in large part to breast cancer survivors and their supporters speaking out to raise awareness of the disease. Still, there are those who prefer to keep their diagnosis, treatment and prognosis private, for a variety of reasons. “Sometimes people do it for reasons to do with worry about stigma, about job security, those kinds of things,” said Rodin. “Sometimes,
people have a fear that others will either avoid them or somehow regard them differently.” There may also be a sense of shame or embarrassment, which may harken back to earlier times when cancer was a dirty word. In fact, “in many cultures, the idea still persists that you are to blame in some way or it’s a punishment of some kind,” he said. “There is a sort of irrational sense of shame that some people feel around illness, even though it’s not their fault.” Many people with cancer, especially if they’re going through treatment for more progressive disease, struggle to maintain their sense of identity in their own and others’ eyes. Like Bowie, other celebrities have hidden their illnesses, sometimes even from those closest to them. When Nora Ephron died in 2012, good friends like actress Meryl Streep didn’t know the author/screenwriter was sick until just before her death; novelist Jackie Collins, who died last September, had long kept the seriousness of her breast

ly chronicled their battles with cancer, which claimed their lives in 2015 and 2011 respectively. So why the difference? “I think sometimes it’s taking ownership, rather than feeling like a victim,” Rodin said of those who share their cancer journey publicly. “Sometimes, there’s an altruistic motive to help other people through it. “Sometimes, it’s to diminish the sense of aloneness that people feel, to feel known by other people. And I think in writing these things, whether someone writes it on a blog or in one’s own diary, it’s creating a narrative, trying to think about ‘what does this mean to me?’ It’s a way of managing the trauma.” As for Bowie, his secrecy may have arisen in part from a desire not to have his identity replaced by the disease that was taking his life, Williams said. “He was certainly someone who resisted being defined by others in any traditional way,” she said. “He may also have resisted the idea of cancer defining him as a person.”
