José’s son Jake, now a grown man, spoke nerve to go to Bethlehem that night. It was scary when into the silence, “I held Him.” He said quietly. “The señora got up and needed to go outside. I took those angels lit up the camp..bright as day! Him very carefully. He was warm, the baby, but it felt “What I remember is the singin’,” said Juan. “It was like we were in a canyon full of sound, you could almost see like He was holding me and not the other way around. I stayed very still and then, to my surprise…He looked at it! I figured it would spook the sheep, but it didn’t. “Little Jake stood behind ol’ José, peekin’ around his leg.” me…like He knew what I was thinking.

ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSE by Baxter Black, DVM www.baxterblack.com
Tío stirred the fire with a stick. “Truth is I felt kinda foolish pokin’ our heads in every stable we came to, ‘course Bethlehem ain’t that big, and, we was all surprised when we walked around the back of that inn and there they were, just like the angel said! They had an ol’ burro tied to a post… I’ll never forget it. The man was layin’ out on a pallet snorin’ away…shoot, he’d walked all the way from Galilee. And the lady, she was propped up against a feed manger holding a baby. “They were country people, didn’t look like they had much. What struck me was it was so…simple, so unfancy. I was expectin’ more of a fiesta. This was the baby that the angels had said was going to be a Savior to all the people in the world, but it didn’t seem right that they’d just invite a bunch of sheepherders? Seems like they’d tell the priest or at least the mayor, have some fanfare…but they didn’t.” That old feeling that had come over him standing ten feet away from those angels all those years ago came back. A shiver ran up his arm. Tío had kept track of the baby. They’d named him Jesus. Tío had watched as Jesus grew up and turned into…a hero. People followed him wherever He went. He performed miracles. He preached. He said He was the Son of God.
“Then he reached up and put his hand in mine, and I filled up inside like I knew everything that mattered in the world,” Jake paused, “and through all that has happened since then, to Him, and to me…He has never let go of my hand.”
Merry Christmas!
Never burn gift wrappings, boxes, cartons, or other types of packing in the fireplace. They burn too rapidly and generate far too much heat. Don’t hang Christmas stockings from the mantel when the fireplace is in use. Always use a screen in front of the fireplace to protect against flying sparks. Never use gasoline or any other flammable liquids to start a fire. Use only seasoned and dried wood. Never leave the fire unattended or let it smoulder. Clean the ashes regularly. Place the ashes in a metal container and store outside away from flammable materials. Don’t use Christmas trees for firewood. Electrical Outlets There is often a tendency to overload wall outlets during the holiday season. This is an unsafe practice and should be avoided even for short durations. Inspect all cords before using. Make sure they are CSA certified. Look for loose connections or frayed or exposed wire. Discard any defective cords. Read the labels and manufacturer’s instructions to ensure proper use. Insert plugs fully into outlets. Poor contact may cause overheating or shock. To avoid possible overheating, do not coil or bunch an extension cord which is in use and do not run it under carpets or rugs.
Christmas is an exciting festive time of the year. It is a time to come together with family and friends. May you have peace, joy and love this holiday season. May the spirit of Christmas and the magic of this wonderful season be with you and your loved ones throughout the holidays and in the New Year. My wife Carol and I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas along with prosperity, good health and happiness in the New Year.
With our thanks for Christmas Best wishes for a Merry your business all year long! and a happy & healthy New Year!

???DID YOU KNOW??? Did you know that it is against a town bylaw to  shovel snow onto town streets from your driveway or property?   There already is a lot of snow this winter please be considerate and do not push it onto the streets. It creates obstacles for your neighbors and further issues for vehicles on town streets. If anyone has any questions please call Greg Peters at the bylaw office at 823-1363
AND DID YOU ALSO KNOW????? Members of the bylaw office are concerned about stray or lost cats out in the cold weather. If you have an unfamiliar cat perhaps hanging around your home or area kindly call the bylaw office so members can try and catch it and hopefully return it to its owner.  If it is indeed lost and if an owner cannot be found at least  then the cat will not be out in the cold weather and efforts can be taken to try and find it a new home. Animals need more food in the cold weather and it is doubtful that a stray or lost cat is getting an adequate amount of food. Please call Greg Peters at the bylaw office at 823-1363 if you have questions or would like more information.  Thanks. If anyone would like further information or discuss any of the topics above please call Greg Peters of bylaw at town hall 8231363. Thanks.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, some difficulty awaits you, but you are strong and fully capable of handling what’s coming your way. Maintain your composure and stick it out a little longer. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, this is your week to shine and let everyone at work know just how talented and devoted you are to the team. Enjoy the fanfare while you can get it. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Distractions are lurking, Gemini, but you will still manage to get things done. Somehow you find the focus needed to muddle through all the work. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Trust someone close to you with a few of your secrets, Cancer. Holding them in may only cause you grief in the long run. Don’t worry, your confidante will be supportive. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, an investment opportunity has piqued your interest. Until you sign over the funds, be sure to research everything thoroughly and call in some expert advice. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you have a lot on your plate, but you can handle it on your own. If things are to get done, you will get them accomplished of your own accord, even if it takes longer. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Some added confidence is all you need to get back on the right track, Libra. Things are bound to work out in your favor, especially when you put your mind to something. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when skepticism seems to be taking over, you will discover once in a while there are a few surprises with happy endings. Enjoy your good luck. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, though unusual, your behavior might seem perfectly reasonable to you. But unless you share your thoughts with others, they may wonder what is going on. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Remember that words said in the heat of the moment will not soon be forgotten, Capricorn. Don’t forget to employ some tact when discussing serious matters with loved ones. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, this week you will have to be very convincing if you want plans to go your way. Brush up on your approach and give thought to exactly what it is you want to say. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Take a few days to let your mind wander, Pisces. You will probably find being a free spirit to be a refreshing break from the norm.

TOWN OF DRUMHELLER WELCOME..... Community Services Department welcomes Eric Neuman to our team as the new Community Services Coordinator/Community Building Initiative leader. Eric will be continuing the building initiatives begun by Jeannie Lutz last year. Jeannie has stepped into FCSS Coordinator. We wish continued success to them both as we begin a new year of challenges in Community Services.
???DID YOU KNOW??? Did you know that it is against a town bylaw to  shovel snow onto town streets from your driveway or property?   There already is a lot of snow this winter please be considerate and do not push it onto the streets. It creates obstacles for your neighbors and further issues for vehicles on town streets. If anyone has any questions please call Greg Peters at the bylaw office at 823-1363
AND DID YOU ALSO KNOW????? Members of the bylaw office are concerned about stray or lost cats out in the cold weather. If you have an unfamiliar cat perhaps hanging around your home or area kindly call the bylaw office so members can try and catch it and hopefully return it to its owner.  If it is indeed lost and if an owner cannot be found at least  then the cat will not be out in the cold weather and efforts can be taken to try and find it a new home. Animals need more food in the cold weather and it is doubtful that a stray or lost cat is getting an adequate amount of food. Please call Greg Peters at the bylaw office at 823-1363 if you have questions or would like more information.  Thanks. If anyone would like further information or discuss any of the topics above please call Greg Peters of bylaw at town hall 8231363. Thanks.
Protect Your Pets
Pet Owners can now purchase their 2014 pet licenses. We urge them to do so as it makes tracking a lost or found pet easier. For further information call Greg at 823 1363. Or email GPeters@dinosaurvalley.com

ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSE by Baxter Black, DVM www.baxterblack.com
Tío stirred the fire with a stick. “Truth is I felt kinda foolish pokin’ our heads in every stable we came to, ‘course Bethlehem ain’t that big, and, we was all surprised when we walked around the back of that inn and there they were, just like the angel said! They had an ol’ burro tied to a post… I’ll never forget it. The man was layin’ out on a pallet snorin’ away…shoot, he’d walked all the way from Galilee. And the lady, she was propped up against a feed manger holding a baby. “They were country people, didn’t look like they had much. What struck me was it was so…simple, so unfancy. I was expectin’ more of a fiesta. This was the baby that the angels had said was going to be a Savior to all the people in the world, but it didn’t seem right that they’d just invite a bunch of sheepherders? Seems like they’d tell the priest or at least the mayor, have some fanfare…but they didn’t.” That old feeling that had come over him standing ten feet away from those angels all those years ago came back. A shiver ran up his arm. Tío had kept track of the baby. They’d named him Jesus. Tío had watched as Jesus grew up and turned into…a hero. People followed him wherever He went. He performed miracles. He preached. He said He was the Son of God.
“Then he reached up and put his hand in mine, and I filled up inside like I knew everything that mattered in the world,” Jake paused, “and through all that has happened since then, to Him, and to me…He has never let go of my hand.”
Merry Christmas!
Never burn gift wrappings, boxes, cartons, or other types of packing in the fireplace. They burn too rapidly and generate far too much heat. Don’t hang Christmas stockings from the mantel when the fireplace is in use. Always use a screen in front of the fireplace to protect against flying sparks. Never use gasoline or any other flammable liquids to start a fire. Use only seasoned and dried wood. Never leave the fire unattended or let it smoulder. Clean the ashes regularly. Place the ashes in a metal container and store outside away from flammable materials. Don’t use Christmas trees for firewood. Electrical Outlets There is often a tendency to overload wall outlets during the holiday season. This is an unsafe practice and should be avoided even for short durations. Inspect all cords before using. Make sure they are CSA certified. Look for loose connections or frayed or exposed wire. Discard any defective cords. Read the labels and manufacturer’s instructions to ensure proper use. Insert plugs fully into outlets. Poor contact may cause overheating or shock. To avoid possible overheating, do not coil or bunch an extension cord which is in use and do not run it under carpets or rugs.
Christmas is an exciting festive time of the year. It is a time to come together with family and friends. May you have peace, joy and love this holiday season. May the spirit of Christmas and the magic of this wonderful season be with you and your loved ones throughout the holidays and in the New Year. My wife Carol and I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas along with prosperity, good health and happiness in the New Year.
With our thanks for Christmas Best wishes for a Merry your business all year long! and a happy & healthy New Year!
