Winter!
Cross-country ski, snowshoe or winter bird watch with the help of the Nature Centre. Winter is a busy time for humans and wildlife both. For people, we are busy with holiday preparations and enjoying friends and family. But, unlike summer, we tend to spend much more time indoors than out, which can lead to winter angst. For animals and birds that remain here in our area and don’t hibernate, it’s a crucial period when finding food and staying warm is paramount for survival. Either way, winter can be harsh for all, but it doesn’t have to be like that. Our wild friends have many strategies they use to stay alive during winter. Most mammals, like deer, rabbits, coyotes, and antelope, put on their cold weather coats to help stave off those frigid temperatures. Antelope have evolved special fur – each strand is hollow to trap air to maintain heat and
they have special muscles to move hair up or down to regulate heat according to the conditions. Beavers use a different strategy – they build a lodge along the riverbank and then store food in the water just outside the front entrance for easy access. This allows beavers to stay active all winter. Birds also have many ways to survive. Chickadees are a great example of winter survivalists. The first thing to note is that they are here year round allowing them to be very knowledgeable about their surroundings. Next, during winter, the area of their brain involved with memory expands so they can better remember where they stash food. Finally, when the weather is extreme, they go into a temporary state of suspended animation called torpor where body functions are reduced and heat is maintained. People can help in some ways to assist wildlife during winter. For mammals, the best thing we can do is leave them alone as much as possible. Any undue stresses during winter from harassment by humans or our pets can push their systems out of balance and lead to lower survival. Winterfeeding is not recommended as their digestive systems change to better deal with poor winter foods and ingesting high quality feed can be fatal. However, for birds, winterfeeding is an excellent way to improve their survival and allows us to enjoy them at close
range. Remember, though, once you start feeding birds in winter, you need to continue until spring as they come to rely on this food source. For humans, there are many ways to enjoy the outdoors during winter. Activities such as cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are exceptional options to get outside and be active. Winter bird watching is another activity that can be very enjoyable. There are many spectacular species that spend the winter here like snowy owls and common redpolls. Plus, there are fewer species, which makes bird identification easier. So, there are no excuses for not being active. We here at the Nature Centre can help keep you going this winter. We have complete ski packages and snowshoes for rent and areas in Police Point Park for these activities. The annual Christmas Bird Count and potluck takes place on December 23rd and we always need help. If you need birdseed or feeders, we carry them in our Nature Store as well as many other nature related items. The Nature Centre at Police Point Park is open year-round, Tuesday through Sunday, 9 – 5. Please drop by for a visit.

JUST SIGN THIS, I’M GETTING RE-MARRIED NEXT WEEK

ell, hopefully this will be the first of many articles about the law. As I was thinking about what to write, I knew that I wanted to stay away from trying to give general legal advice, because there really is no legal advice that applies to all situations and all people. In fact, when you ask a lawyer a question about the law, usually the answer is something along the lines of “it depends”, and the lawyer asks you about a dozen follow up questions. So, instead of trying to do that, I thought instead I would use this space to try to deal with some of the things that I see coming up over and over again in my practice, and different areas where maybe I can shed some light on why lawyers do the things they do.
I thought I would start with an item I have seen recently a lot in my office, which is someone coming in with a separation agreement or other like document that settles all matters in a divorce or common-law relationship matter, and essentially saying “This is what I want to do, I understand what it says. I want this over right now, but my ex’s lawyer says I have to get a different lawyer to sign off on this agreement for me. So, I have another appointment I need to get to, please sign off on this
so I can be done.
I am currently involved in several cases that are trying to overturn agreements that were made under just these types of circumstances, and in some of them, that lawyer that signed off as per the client’s wishes is being sued for failing to discharge their duty to the client and to properly represent them.
Regardless of what an individual may say they want at any given time, professionals, including lawyers, doctors, nurses, teachers and so forth, have a fiduciary responsibility to the people they provide service to. Part of that responsibility is to discharge the service to a certain standard. You can no more ask me to quickly sign off on something without properly advising you first and getting all the background information than you can ask a doctor to take out your appendix but not sew you up. I have to protect you to some degree even if you don’t want me to at the time, so unfortunately, even if someone says they completely understand and know what they want to do, I still have to go through the steps to be sure that is the case, for their sake and for mine.

STREET P
by Wendy Struck
ublic art is defined as works of art in any media created for the physical public domain. It is often outside and accessible to all. It is not confined to physical objects; dance, performance art, street theatre and poetry have proponents in public art. Visual art is sometimes considered elitist, bogged down with unfamiliar vocabulary and pretentious notions. Public art takes it out of the gallery and into the street. Traditionally public art was mural or sculpture, often monuments of historical figures. Now we see an array of artforms in our public spaces including street art, site-specific work, and land art. It is manifested as community projects, professional calls by juries, private commissions, and independent collaborations. We sometimes use it to revitalize neighbourhoods and draw people to our communities. It often proves controversial because of the desire of artists to provoke or challenge, as well as the diverse nature of the viewing public, with varying degrees of familiarity with art. Locally we have many examples of public art. Medicine Hat’s Street Art Works(SAW), has created “Tunnel Vision”, an ongoing community based collaboration that aims to transform the tunnel that connects downtown neighbourhoods. SAW noticed an opportunity to bring people together to provide a richer experience in this much used passageway for pedestrians. SAW continues to raise funds to fulfill its mission “to work with artists and stakeholders to beautify the city of Medicine Hat with various projects and installations for the benefit of the public, visitors, and the producing artist.” Blake Senini’s “Turn, T urn, Turn” sits on the lawn of the Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre. Senini was quoted in the Medicine Hat newspaper in 2010, saying “As in all my work, I really don’t set out to give a specific meaning to the work.” He adds, “It’s really just for contemplation.” To facilitate this, the base of the sculpture is intended as seating. Public art often has this kind of interactive component. Reka (River), in Batus park, by Canadian artists Jess Riva Cooper and Rob MacInnis, also incorporates both functional and artistic elements by integrating bicycle racks and pedestrian seating. Local artist, Geo, says, “Public art is meant for all to enjoy… I feel it’s best if it’s thought provoking.” And he adds “I like the accolades, conversations and meeting new people while I’m doing a piece in public.” I agree. Recently while painting downtown I had people stop to ask me about my process, sometimes discuss the work with each other, and many stopped to just… contemplate. It seems public art really does bring people together. P. 5

Success Stories Colleen Hierath by Kathleen D. Mailer
T
oday I am interviewing author Colleen Hiearth.
Hi Colleen, and welcome. When did you start writing your book? I started writing my book Breathe in October of 2011 and it was in my hands published by June 2012. What is your book about? It is my journey from death back to life after surviving a 90 mph head-on car crash while 9 months pregnant. My struggle to reclaim my memory, rebuild my broken body, and learn to read, talk and walk again took over 10 years. Through the pain and heartbreak, I discovered purpose, rebuilt my broken dreams and positioned all that I learned into a new life I had to reinvent. What made you write this book? This is an absolutely ridiculous story that is bigger than one human being could handle. I hung on by a wing and a prayer. I realized that my story was a catalyst to understanding that we all have a greater purpose and that all things are possible with faith and hope. I wrote this book to help those who need to be healed and give hope to those who need hope. Who is the typical reader? Breathe is for readers who want to be inspired. It is also for readers who have fallen off their bike and want to get back on and start peddling again. Breathe is for the people who are just surviving because of a loss or disappointment and need to follow my journey, gather up the tools I used, and take it one step at a time. How are you marketing your book? www.facebook.com/RefreshYourStory, www.twitter.com/RefreshReinvent and my website www. colleenhierath.com have all been effective marketing channels for me as well as the eWomenNetwork and Today’s Businesswoman magazine.

used to work for Apple doing promotions here in the Hat, they had a limited budget for parties. Whatever happened at Foxxconn a few weeks ago, the workers were so excited about the iPhone 5 release, that they worked late into the night. Maybe the building caught fire from all the candles on cupcakes they had at the celebration party! With 5 million pre-orders those workers must have been excited about the possibilities of getting huge bonuses.
But wait, while we were all caught up in the whirlwind of a new cellular device; Then they made another iPad! No, not the New iPad, or iPad 2 (there are currently 4 “Generations” of the tablet device)... It’s a whole new thing! iPad mini! Apple had another amazing press conference. Nobody does it like Steve Jobs though (rest in peace). They built up a ton of excitement about all kinds of software
improvements, almost like appetizers to the main course. I thought the meal was going
to be iPad mini, based on all the rumours. Turns out, it’s just a smaller iDevice that competes with book readers. I guess Apple hasn’t crushed enough artistic industry yet. With the way they compress music to fit into the itunes store, I wonder if Geore Orwell’s 1984 might read as more of a comedy after Apple Lawyers are through with it.
be sour about them taking out the “CD-Rom” drive on the main line of desktops. It’s a bold move, if you have a bunch of software on DVD and CD-Rom, you’ll have to get an accessory drive to plug in. My opinion; to heck with CD’s, all they do is get scratched up and take up tons of space! As more and more people relinquish satellite and cable subscriptions for more modern media consumption processes, like NetFlixx, online video channels, YouTube, Vimeo, I’m sure these ultra-thin all-in-one computers will be the thing of the future. Just one request, Apple, Please don’t make them touchscreen until you invent smudge-proof. Thomas Fougere tom@comtv.ca comtv.ca
So the iPad mini didn’t really amaze the crowd. People, myself included, were a lot more excited about the new line of all-in-one computers known as iMac. The new line of products is thinner than any television I have seen on the market, and somehow they shoved a quad core computer in there, with brilliant graphics, response, and all the plugs snugly on the back. Some folks might

Stress is always around us and our bodies do not perceive a difference between good or bad stress - it is all stress. It is how we handle our stresses in life that determines “how stressed we are”. Whether it is a one-time large stress or an accumulation of many small stress, they both will wear us down. How quickly we wear down depends on our body’s ability to manage and cope.

hat’s the world coming to? What’s an Investor to do?
This past summer Pollara* conducted a survey for BMO Nesbitt Burns. Pollara found that when Canadian Investors select an Investment Advisor, the top 5 things they look for are: 1.) Trustworthiness and honesty 2.) Level of knowledge 3.) Experience 4.) Track record and availability 5.) Reputation and Advisor confidence level Other Findings: Canadians want their Investment Advisor to explain their investments in easy-to-understand terms. It is more important for investors to get returns that meet their financial plan’s targets than returns that outperform the market. Investors think it is very important that their Investment Advisor engages in meaningful communication on a regular basis. When seeking an Investment Advisor, also consider: Building your Plan - Client service is more than a printed statement. It should include a solid financial plan and meaningful conversations. Two-Way Listening - Find an advisor who listens to you and takes genuine interest in your life. Extend the conversation beyond investments to include critical things such as plans for your estate, retirement and business succession.

FASHION COUTURE WEEK Medicine Hat’s local celebrity Joan Bateman, of Gainsboro Studio, was chosen as lead house photographer for this year’s event. The distinction was awarded after she was selected from hundreds of photographers considered across the globe. The audience energy at a high fashion show is incredible. The excitement and splendor is difficult to describe. The models are the smallest part of the experience. This level of fashion yields creations of genuine living masterpieces. Revealed from fabric, makeup, hair artistry sculpted precisely, and yes; beautiful young women. The results are truly an expression of the depth of the individual designer’s vision of beauty. Many of the gowns aren’t what you’d wear to the market, or even New Year’s Eve. Designers use the runway to showcase their art, which in turn becomes their brand. Ready to wear lines are purchased for retail based on the public’s acceptance of creations seen on the runway.
to places just short of majestic. The models are stunning, each in their own way. But when shot through a camera lens, they transcend into images many describe as goddesses.
As they grace the runway hundreds of cameras explode into action and television reporter’s jockey for position. Audience members revel in the moment so unique, never to be repeated. Living art, walking three minutes across a stage, make or break careers.

Models are a blank canvass designer’s drape exquisitely, reshaping the human form as close to perfection as can be viewed; showcasing their business and futures. As quickly as onlookers applaud they’re offered another breathtaking site, in the form of the next Venus; who stands posing in the spotlight. Will the discriminating audience approve and ultimately purchase these miracles of fabric they’ve encountered in those brief moments as the options pass by so wonderfully? We’re entertained and amazed, while the designer’s future hangs in the balance; determined by levels of our applause.
