B..C Wildlife Shelter is hoping to pull a string of light through our Prov-ince as they embark on yet another long dis-tance bear rescue.

A small grizzly cub in Golden has been cap-tured by Conservation Officer Alex Desjardins and is now seeking to spend the winter at Northern Lights Wild-life Shelter (NLWS) in Smithers.

Shelter founders An-gelika and Peter Langen started the 17 hour drive to Golden Mon-day morning, in a bor-rowed truck as their own truck is no longer deemed safe on long distances and funds for a newer vehicle are lacking. In order to help with the expenses of housing, feeding rescu-ing and releasing the animals, Dorothy Avery of Toronto started a campaign of lights in 2011. The aim is to light up the Christmas tree (decorated by NLWS in front of the Smithers Feed Store) by Christ-mas Eve.

The shelter is cur-rently home to 30 black bears, and soon five grizzlies from all over B.C. All are cubs of this year that lost their mother mainly due to vehicle accidents.

To help light up this “bear” tree, go to www.

wildlifeshelter.com or call 250-877-1181 and make a small donation. Every $25 raised will light up another bulb, helping them save or-phaned cubs in dire need of rescue.

History• NLWS is a regis-

tered Charity and all donations receive a tax receipt;

• Founded in 1990 NLWS has accepted 329 bears over the years in-cluding 17 grizzlies and 3 Kermode bears. 90 per cent of these cubs have been released back to the wild;

• NLWS is not fund-ed by the Government and is run on volunteer labour;

• The current cub in Golden weighs only about 20 pounds where it should be around 70 pounds this time of year. It will need exten-sive care and constant evaluation to ensure re-habilitation is possible.

• The Grizzly pilot Project is run in part-nership with IFAW (In-ternational Fund for Animal Welfare) and the B.C. Government;

• Why so many cubs this year: The dry sum-mer across B.C. has cre-ated a food shortage for many bears as the berry crop did not fare well in the heat. In search for food more bears crossed highways or wandered into towns.

Society needs help to help the bears

For the townsman

The Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter is currently home to 30 black bears, and soon five grizzlies from all over B.C. All are cubs of this year that lost their mother mainly due to vehicle accidents.

Twelve Skaters, 26 events, 21 medals

Twelve Kimberley Skaters from the North Star Skating Club participated in the East Kootenay Invitational Competition held in Cranbrook over the Dec 5-7 weekend. Those skaters entered 26 events and came home with 10 gold, 9 silver and two bronze medals. The senior skaters compete against other skaters from the region at various levels, they were, Zoe Marina (2 gold, 1 silver), Bianca Marina (2 gold, 2 silver), Emily Newel ( 2 gold), Hannah Doerkson (2 gold, 1 silver), Sydney Wilson (1 gold, 1 silver) and Molly Miller ( 1 silver). The junior skaters are ranked amongst others at the same level; achieving Gold was Ella Wilkinson, Silver; Jackson Wilkinson, Makayli Wilkinson, Kana Dolgopol, Bronze; Adrian Moody and Charl-ize Du Preez.

Held at the same time was a Regional Test Day. Skaters are evaluated as they perform various tests, which could be a dance, free skate, an interpretive number or skills at dif-ferent levels. If they pass they move on to the next level in the various disciplines. Eight skaters were evaluated in 25 tests, several at the gold level, 20 passed.

Parents, the skating executive and coach-es Tamara Bannatyne and Megan Newel are very proud of the dedication these skaters show and the levels they have achieved. The skaters are usually on the ice 3-5 times a week; their commitment certainly shines through during these events.

Skaters will be traveling to Fernie and Rossland in the New Year for another com-petition and test day.

The Cranbrook Skating Club hosted the event with assistance from a number of Kim-berley parents. We would like to thank Cran-brook for hosting such a successful week-end.

From page 1A final performance will be

held at Christ Church-Trinity in Invermere on Sunday, January 4, 2015. Both out-of-town perfor-mances will start at 2 p.m.

“A Child Is Born” is Terry’s third composition in this musical genre although he may be better known to local theatre-goers as the composer of a number of early Kimberley Summer Theatre productions including “The Can-terville Ghost” and “Fool’s Gold.” He also wrote original songs for his version of “Dickens’ – A Christmas Carol” which has been produced in Kimberley on three separate occasions. And he com-

posed the incidental music for the Bard-In-Your-Own-Backyard production of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliette.”

The cantata choir is made up from members of the regular Kimberley United Church Choir along with a number of the Kim-berley Community Choir plus ad-ditional singers from the United Church congregation and indi-viduals from the wider local com-munity.

What is a Cantata anyway? Cantata is from the Italian, “can-tare,” meaning, “to sing.” A Canta-ta is a musical work for voice(s) with instrumental accompani-ment. The Cantata was devel-

oped in 18th century Italy along with its close relatives, the orato-rio and opera. A Cantata consists of a number of musical move-ments or songs interspersed with prose readings, which together tell a story that may be either sec-ular or sacred in nature. Most modern sacred cantatas are based on either the Christmas or Easter story. The individual songs or movements are separated and introduced by read passages of scripture although original prose is sometimes employed.

Winston Blackmore and James Oler will ap-pear in Creston Law Courts on Jan. 29 to choose whether they want their polygamy charges to be tried by a judge or jury.

Blackmore appeared in court Dec. 4, telling Judge Grant Sheard that he had retained legal council and would be ready for trial election proceedings in January. Oler forwarded a similar message through Crown counsel.

In an unrelated case, Emily (Crossfield) Blackmore appeared before Sheard. She and her husband, Brandon, are charged with unlaw-fully removing a child under 16 from Canada with the intent that an

offence of a sexual na-ture would be commit-ted outside of Canada. They, too, will appear

on Jan. 29 to choose their form of trial.

Charges were ap-proved in the cases in

August, and the four previously appeared in court on Oct. 9.

Dave Quinn

Hello from the beautiful city of Kandy, Sri Lanka. A quick introduction: we are the Quinn family, from Cran-

brook. There are four of us (Dave, Michelle and our 10-year-old twins, son Bereket and daughter Eskedar). We decided to take a school year away from work, and travel around the world!

We left Cranbrook on September 1, 2014, and will be back on June 16, 2015. So far we have been to Japan, China, Cambo-dia, Thailand, and now Sri Lanka. We have 10 more countries to visit before coming home, and many thousands of kilometres to travel while doing it. If you love to travel, or you are an armchair traveler, then we hope you enjoy our articles. If you would like to see more of our trip, please check out our travel blog: quinnfamilyquest.wee-bly.com/

Feel free to add any comments or ques-tions, too. We love hearing from people back “home.”

And now, look up — look waaaaay up! Okay, so it’s not that high up when you are used to the Rocky Mountains, but getting to see the Sri Maha Bodhi Maha Viharaya does require you to look up 850 feet from city level. It is a stately and imposing sight. Of course we had seen it on our numerous trips into the downtown core, but today was the day we were going to actually get to climb up it!

The Buddha is exactly 88 feet tall. It faces towards the most sacred temple in Kandy, the Temple of the Tooth, which we had visited previously. It is home to a mon-astery that was started by Ampitiye Dam-marama Thero. He decided to build the big Buddha’s statue, and started to build it with the people’s donations in 1972. In fact, ev-eryone pays an admittance fee that contin-ues to go towards keeping the site running. The construction of the Buddha’s statue eventually was completed decades later, and finally opened on January 1, 1993.

We got lucky weather-wise, and decided to tackle the hillside this morning (by tuk tuk, of course — we’re not crazy enough to walk  up  it). The past few days have been very cloudy and rainy in the afternoons, so we thought to be the early birds and visit the giant Buddha while the rain stayed away. This proved to be a good idea. You can climb steps located behind the Bud-dha, and reach a level equal to that of its shoulders. This allowed us terrific views of Kandy, nestled down below.

We actually did get a bit of exercise this morning, as we walked down to the city center. To commemorate this momentous act, we headed back to the Empire Cafe, where we had previously had lunch a few days before. No surprise that they have wonderful tea in Sri Lanka. They have many tea plantations, and we enjoyed some Ceylon tea (Ceylon being the name Sri Lanka was known as when it was a Brit-ish colony). I should also mention that, al-though it was only around 11am, because Michelle had read up (bless her heart!) on the Empire Cafe’s supposedly delicious “Quadruple Chocolate Cake”, we felt we would be remiss in not sampling it. All I will say is: Good decision.

Afterwards, we decided to walk around Kandy Lake. Kandy Lake is actually a man-made lake. It was built in 1807 by King Sri

Sri Maha Bodhi Maha Viharaya, Kandy, Sri Lanka

Bikrama Rajasinha of Sri Lanka, next to the Temple of the Tooth. There are many leg-ends regarding the lake. One is that the small island in its center was used by the king’s helm for bathing and was connected to the palace by a secret tunnel! 

We had heard that if you keep your eyes open while walking around the lake, you just might be lucky enough to see a Moni-tor lizard. We had no such luck on that ac-count. We did, however, come across something else, though...

… we rounded a corner and what do we see but a large group of people assembled in the roadway, instead of on the sidewalk. This seemed odd. We walked over and saw immediately why no one was standing or walking where they should have been...two cobras were on display, and everyone wanted to keep their distance. That seemed like the logical thing to do. Two

men were manning the cobras, playing music, moving the lids to the cobra’s bas-kets in a rhythmic pattern that had the co-bra’s rapt attention. Of course  our fami-ly  had “TOURIST” basically embroidered on our shirts, so one of the men waved Bereket and I over to get closer to the co-bras. Bereket was brave enough to sit in behind the snakes, and I was brave enough to take his picture from far away using the “zoom” option on the camera. 

Of course once we saw to our delight that Bereket was safe, we all piled in for a picture. Sure, we knew it was a tourist trap, but when else we will get this close to two cobras, we thought (hopefully never again!).

Another great unexpected moment...the kind that makes travel (and life, for that matter) so interesting.

[Days after this interview, Petronas announced a delay in their investment decision until 2015.]

TF: I talked to a couple of SFU climate mitigation special-ists, and they agreed that it’s unlikely to the point of impossi-ble to have a major LNG indus-try and still meet Gordon Campbell’s ambitious green-house gas target of a 33 per cent reduction by 2020. What do you think?

PCC: I think that we may prove them wrong. Many of these facilities, not all of them, will be partly or fully electrically powered up, so that reduces those impacts, and there’s going to be a real incentive to invest in new technology to minimize that as well.

I think the bigger picture is what really matters, which is that in shipping 82 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas

to Asia, we help them get off coal and other dirtier sources of oil, and that is the biggest contribution that we’ve ever made to reducing climate change.

TF: Ontario and Quebec have taken a page from your book. They have seven condi-tions for an oil pipeline, Energy East, which involves conversion of gas pipelines and taking Al-berta oil to the East Coast. What do you think?

PCC: I think they took our five conditions and elaborated on them. So you’ve got British

Columbia, Alberta, now Ontar-io and Quebec, all signed on to some version of the five condi-tions. And of course Enbridge and Kinder Morgan as well.

TF: What about the condi-tions they have added?

PCC: One of the things they say they want to protect against is a shortage of natural gas coming to Ontario and Quebec. These are the same two prov-inces that have put a moratori-um on extracting natural gas. They want to make sure that we do it here, good enough for us to do, and send it to them, but

they won’t do that themselves. I look at their last two conditions, and I roll my eyes a little bit.

TF: All the way to New Brunswick, they’ve basically bought the anti-hydraulic frac-turing myth?

PCC: Yes. Somehow they all watched an American mocku-mentary or whatever you call it, and believed it. Here in British Columbia we do fracking better than anywhere in the world. It is the gold standard.

TF: Finance Minister Mike de Jong says we have a surplus estimated at more than $400 million for this fiscal year, and he suggested that much of that would have to go to pay off defi-cits from previous years. Of course the opposition is interest-ed in welfare rates and in partic-ular ending child support claw-backs. What’s your view?

PCC: Like any family that’s been through tough times, the first thing you need to do when you get back to finding a job and making an income again, is to pay off your credit cards. And that’s what we’re going to do.

We are going to see if we can find ways to improve some of the programs over time, but can’t do that until we can afford it. It’s typical, the NDP want us to spend the money before we have it.

Spirits were high in the Kimberley Dynamit-ers dressing room fol-lowing a 5-2 victory over the Nelson Leafs Friday night.

With a three-assist performance, newcom-er Braden Saretsky earned his first post-game interview and his teammates were quick to put him to task.

As Saretsky emerged from the Dynamiters dressing room, shouts followed the 18-year-old West Kelowna native, exclaiming, “You’ve got to do the meow game!”

For those unaware, the meow game hap-pens to be a challenge making its way through the hockey world in re-cent weeks. The inter-view subject is chal-lenged to seamlessly work as many ‘meows’ as possible into his re-sponses. The meows are intended to replace the word ‘now.’

The game was in-spired by a scene from the 2001 police comedy film Super Troopers.

It might seem like a silly little game, but it actually makes for an in-

credibly entertaining in-terview.

Saretsky, who was acquired by the Dyna-miters in a Nov. 28 trade with the Summerland Steam, was as close to purr-fect as one could get.

“After about a week of being here meow, it’s been pretty good,” Saretsky said Saturday night. “The guys have been pretty good to me and coach [Jerry Bancks] is giving me lots of playing time meow. It’s been nice.”

Saretsky has seen plenty of playing time indeed. In Saturday’s victory over Nelson, the 5-foot-11 pivot was flanked by leading scor-er Jason Richter and Jared Marchi on the Ni-tros first line. In addition to skating on the top unit, Saretsky has also manned the point on the power play since his arrival.

The speedy Saretsky set up Richter three times Saturday and has four assists in three games since joining the Nitros.

“He’s really talented. He’s really smart with the puck,” Richter said of Saretsky. “He can set

guys up. He’s definitely got a lot of skill and he works really hard.”

As much as Saretsky’s interview was a high-light Saturday night, captain Richter was the man with the hot hand on the ice.

Richter single-hand-edly blew away the Leafs with a five-point perfor-mance, including three goals.

“Everyone’s stepping up,” Richter said. “It doesn’t matter who is on the scoresheet at the end of the game.”

With his team lead-ing 3-2 late in the third period, 18-year-old Cranbrook native cruised over the blue-line before wiring a wrist shot through the five-hole of Leafs goaltender Joey Karrer.

“I was looking for Saretsky. If I would have passed to him, I was thinking he was going to have a breakaway, but the guy caught up to him,” Richter said, re-playing his Saturday in-surance marker. “I tried to slow down and I looked for Marchi. Then I saw Marchi kind of had a guy on him. I didn’t want to turn it over be-cause we were so late in

the game. “I just kind of put it

on net and luckily it went in.”

Richter, the heart and soul of the Dynamiters, completed the hat trick with an empty-net goal 24 seconds later.

“[Richter and Mar-chi] are both really skilled players meow,” Saretsky said. “They’ll dish you the puck wher-ever so you kind of have to have your stick on the ice and always be ready for them meow. They’re good guys to play with.”

If you were curious, Saretsky managed to squeak 10 meows into a two-minute interview. Kudos, to Kimberley’s newest Nitro.

Prior to Saturday’s win, the Dynamiters fell 4-2 to the Creston Valley Thunder Cats at Johnny Bucyk Arena. The Thun-der Cats grabbed two more victories Saturday (4-3 at Golden) and Sunday (9-3 vs. Colum-bia Valley), leap-frog-

ging the Dynamiters into third place in the KIJHL’s Eddie Mountain Division.

“We’ve got to step it up. We’ve got to play for each other [on the road],” Richter said. “Playing at home, we have a good atmosphere here and it’s pretty easy to get into the game. On the road, we definitely have to step up and start playing for each other.”

The Dynamiters are

an impressive 12-3-0-1 at the Kimberley Civic Centre, but continue to battle on the road. The Nitros mark away from home is 3-9-1-1 after Friday’s loss in Creston Valley.

Richter and the Dy-namiters will get a chance to improve upon that road mark this Fri-day when they visit the Spokane Braves (15-13-0-3).

Following a two-game U.S. road trip, the Kootenay Ice return home to host the Medi-cine Hat Tigers Tuesday at Western Financial Place.

The game will be the fourth in five nights for the Ice, who edged the Spokane Chiefs 3-2 Sat-urday before falling to the Tri-City Americans 5-4 Sunday evening.

Life hasn’t been any easier for the visiting Ti-gers, who have been on the road since Friday. After opening a four-game road trip with a pair of victories Friday and Saturday (5-2 at Ev-erett and 5-3 at Seattle), the Tigers fell 4-1 to the Portland Winterhawks Sunday.

Tuesday’s tilt will also represent the fourth

game in five days for the Tigers.

The Ice and Tigers last met Nov. 22 in Medi-cine Hat, where Koote-nay goaltender Wyatt Hoflin turned in a 48-save performance, shut-ting out the Tigers 3-0. In the only other meeting of the year between the two Central Division ri-vals, the Tigers rolled to a 7-3 victory at Western Financial Place Nov. 19.

“We knew they were a fast team with small guys and a lot of skill and good defence. They move the puck well and I think we got off the game a little bit,” said Kootenay Ice forward Tim Bozon Nov. 19. “Against one of the best teams in the league, if you do that, you won’t have a chance to win the hockey game.”

The Tigers remain

one of the top teams in the WHL, sitting second in the Eastern Confer-ence.

As for the small skill Bozon referred to, Med-icine Hat boasts a pair of pint-sized forwards in the top-10 scoring ranks of the WHL.

Trevor Cox and Cole

Sandford, both measur-ing up at 5-foot-8, rank sixth and seventh in WHL scoring, respec-tively.

It was Cox crushing the Ice the last time the two teams met in Cran-brook. The Surrey na-tive tallied three goals and an assist in the Ti-gers’ 7-3 victory.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A partner will respond only to an authentic overture. This per-son might not have the desire to get into anything more than di-rect communication. Be careful not to let any of his or her neg-ativity rub off on you. Tonight: Express an innate playfulness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll communicate what you want in a meaningful way. However, don’t be surprised if others have a strong reaction. The unexpected is likely to oc-cur, and it could throw you off your game. Be willing to discuss a change that could affect your daily schedule. Tonight: Speak up. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Watch others’ reactions in a conversation involving money and day-to-day matters. You might feel the need for a more stringent budget. Look at ways to cut unnecessary costs. Con-tinue brainstorming until you find the right solution. Tonight: Pace yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will be able to deal with someone’s seriousness, even if you feel uncomfortable with the conversation. This person tends to be set in his or her ways. Helping him or her make an adjustment could be a won-derful but challenging gift to give. Tonight: Ever playful. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might feel as though you are carrying more than your share of burdens. You soon will notice that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Consider eliminating some of the respon-sibilities you handle simply be-cause no one else will. Tonight: Nap, then decide. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Aim for what you want. You are more likely to succeed than you might think. A long talk could end up being depressing, but your feelings will change quickly if you don’t try to sup-press them. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others seem to expect a lot from you, as they note how pro-

ficient you are at what you do. You understand the importance of timing as well. If you can, hold off on making any pre-sentations for now. You’ll have plenty of time for that later. Tonight: Suddenly, you have no problems! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be imaginative with your choic-es. You might feel constrained by a situation that seems to be weighing on you. Tap into your immense creativity, and solu-tions will come forward. A call to someone at a distance could be provocative. Tonight: Happi-est at home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be more in control of a situation than you realize. Detach and observe what goes on around you, which might include listening carefully to a conversation. You will discover how persuasive you can be. Deal with others directly. Tonight: Let your mind wander. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might hear some fascinat-ing news that could make you wonder which way to go. Your

inner voice will be working overtime and perhaps make you a bit jumpy. Let go, and every-one will be happier. Tonight: A loved one makes quite the ap-peal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might find yourself very busy trying to complete er-rands. Whether you’re doing chores or shopping for the holidays, you could be over-whelmed by everything that is on your plate. Know that you have made a good start, and pat yourself on the back. Tonight: Be near music. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Allow greater creativity to flow from you to others. Take the high road, and attempt to see what is going on with a difficult person in your life. A parent, boss or older relative seems to be more informative than he or she used to be. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. BORN TODAY Poet John Milton (1608), for-mer U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle (1947), actor John Malkovich (1953)

Dear Annie: My husband, “Ricardo,” is a nat-urally curious man. He usually asks questions in a charming manner, showing genuine in-terest in family and friends. We have a teenage son. Ricardo often asks him probing questions about his girlfriend, which upsets our son. I totally get that Ricar-do is interested and concerned for our son, so often I try to smooth the waves and attempt to let Ricardo know that he is being too pushy. I try to say this in a lighthearted way during the conversation in order to defuse the tension. This infuriates Ricardo. He says I am under-mining his parental authority. Annie, our son is a fine, outstanding young man. He does well in school, has great friends and participates in meaningful activities. It’s not as if he is up to something just because he doesn’t want to talk about his girlfriend. He just wants some privacy. I only intervene in these conversations when I see the tension rising and my son getting frustrated or angry. Ricardo has told me that I should mind my own business and tell him in private what I think and not do it in front of our son. Is he right? It makes me feel that I’m not being supportive of our son. Should I just walk away from their conversation and keep my feelings to myself? Right now, I have an upset son and a furious husband. -- Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck: You both need a new approach. Grilling a teenager about his social life will backfire every time, and Ricardo should know better. And when you intervene, even with good reason, Ricardo thinks it makes him the bad guy in front of your son. Have a private conversation with your husband and tell him that peppering the boy with questions will simply make him clam up and become re-sentful. It’s easier to get information when you aren’t trying so hard. (Perhaps he remembers his own teenage years.) The two of you should instead agree upon a silent signal when his questions get out of hand. In return, promise to share what you learn. Dear Annie: Do you know why I’m not in-terested in sex with my husband? It gives me no satisfaction. My husband’s idea of sex is 30 seconds of satisfying himself. He is boring, boring, boring. My husband is a controlling person, so if I initiate sex, he isn’t interested. It always has to be his idea. I’ve read everything I could about having a good sex life and tried for years to please him. But he thinks sexual pleasure is only for him and the rest is a tool to punish me. I’ve told him how I feel, but he is never wrong and can’t handle criticism. He refuses counseling. Sometimes, I wonder whether he is gay. I had an affair, and the sex was wonderful, but I broke it off. Now I’m considering divorce in the hope that I can find a man who believes that sex ought to be fun and enjoyable for both partners. Boring sex might be a reason some women lose interest. That’s my two cents. -- Tired of It All Dear Tired: Dissatisfaction can be a reason to avoid sex, but your real problem is a hus-band who doesn’t care that you are unhappy. His disinterest in your concerns goes beyond the bedroom. Whether or not you divorce, please get counseling on your own so you can better navigate the rocks ahead. Dear Annie: “Dumfounded Niece” was up-set that she hadn’t received any acknowledg-ment of the flowers she sent to her aunt’s fu-neral. My mother sent flowers to the funeral of her brother in another state. When Mom asked my aunt whether the flowers looked nice, she was told they never arrived. Our local florist discovered that the flowers had never been sent from the florist in the other state. -- Ar-lene in North Dakota Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Barney Eyford“BID”

1928 - 2014

Barney “BID” Eyford age 86 of Wasa, BC, passed away on December 2, 2014 at Joseph Creek Care Village with family by his side. He was born on February 20, 1928 in Grosmont, AB.

Bid started out trucking and owned his own

company delivering groceries in the Northwest Territories for the Hudson Bay Company. He then moved to BC in the 1970’s and did some logging, commercial fishing, and water well drilling. Later he moved down to Wasa where he and his business partner operated a large cedar shake business.

He was a hard working man who loved his children and especially his grandchildren.

Barney leaves to mourn his passing, his wife and best friend Donna, his children Cyndi, Patti, Shane (Julie), Marlene (Gary), and Lydia (Randy), and Donna’s children Tammy (Steve) and Keith and his much loved grandchildren.

There will be no funeral service by request. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in Barney’s honour, may do so to the charity of your choice.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.Condolences for the family can be offered at:

www.mcphersonfh.com

In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.

WHERE DO YOU TURN

YOUR NEWSPAPER:The link to your community

TO LEARNWHAT’S

ON SALE?

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. Sixty-two 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.

Cultural Anthropology stu-dents were given a first-hand opportunity to learn about different cultures while also building relationships and a sense of community at the College on Friday, Novem-ber 21.

With the College hosting 203 international students from 34 countries, English Language program instruc-tor Erin Aasland-Hall saw the opportunity for a project with the Cultural Anthropol-ogy students to be an ideal way to bridge gaps between

our international and local students.

“The sense of community grows tremendously from these types of activities,” says Aasland-Hall. “Often times Canadian and international students are too shy to initi-ate a conversation with each other. Activities like this break down that fear and quite often the relationships continue beyond the class-room project.  In addition to creating friendships, these collaborations lead to task-specific assignments for the students. They are not simply having a conversa-

tion with other students but they must complete a paper for grading so a great learn-ing opportunity takes place.”

Anthropology instructor Avery Hulbert was excited for the opportunity to partic-ipate. She saw the partner-ship as a chance for her stu-dents to gain first-hand knowledge about cultures and experiences that are dif-ferent than their own while also building a sense of com-munity at the College. The program turned out to be an overwhelming success.

“The students were all very nervous at the begin-

ning of the day but came away from the experience not only with a better under-standing of different cul-tures, and research and in-terview skills but with new friends who they are now connected with both inside and outside of the commu-nity. Many of the students came up to us afterward and thanked us for the opportu-nity,” noted Hulbert.

The Cultural Anthropolo-gy class, a first-year universi-ty studies course, focuses on learning about anthropolog-ical research, ethics and how to be culturally relative, in-

clusive and sensitive. The ex-istence of the English Lan-guage program at the Col-lege provided a unique expe-riential learning opportunity for all the students involved. Extensive preparation was done with both groups to en-sure the experience was a positive, accademically meaningful, respectful and safe one for all involved. In the end, students had a great time, discovered valuable in-formation about each other and even made new friends. 

“This was an amazing ex-perience.  I learned a lot about how someone from

another culture experiences our own,” adds Cultural An-thropology student Melissa Roberts. “It was a great way to learn about someone else as a person and to make a connection.”

Aasland-Hall and Hulbert look forward to expanding this opportunity to future students in the semesters and years to come.

ASSociAted PreSSCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

- NASA’s Curiosity rover is helping scientists close in on a Martian mystery: Why does a mountain jut out of a barren crater?

Scientists said Monday that rock images indicate that 3-mile-high Mount Sharp may have formed in a big lake bed over a million or even tens of millions of years. Deposits of sediment seem to have shaped the mountain.

That begs the question as to whether microbial life may have existed there in those wet ancient times.

“This lake was large enough, it could have lasted millions of years - sufficient time for life to get started and thrive, sufficient time for lake sediment to build up to form Mount Sharp,” said Michael Meyer, lead scientist of NASA’s Mars ex-ploration program.

Curiosity’s latest obser-vations could mean Mars’

warm, wet period occurred about 3.5 billion years ago, more recent than had been thought.

In addition, Martian lakes could have lasted lon-ger than previously sus-pected. Scientists are un-certain whether this wet period was continuous or interrupted by dry spells.

Meyer acknowledged that even here on Earth, “we don’t have a very good handle” on how long it takes life to originate and

how long a conducive envi-ronment needs to be in place beforehand. So ad-dressing the possibility of whether life once existed on other planets is made all the more complicated.

Curiosity has been ex-ploring Gale Crater since its arrival on Mars two years ago; the rover reached the base of Mount Sharp a few months ago. The crater, 96 miles across, was caused by an asteroid impact.

Mars mountain may have formed from lake; wet climate possibly lasted million years

c AnAdiAn PreSSSASKATOON - Two men

are facing mischief charges after a sandwich order sent them into a hissy fit at a Tim Hortons restaurant in Saska-toon.

Police say the 20-year-olds began arguing with an em-ployee because they wanted their onions diced.

The argument got worse, and one of the men pulled a snake from his friend’s pocket and threw it behind the count-er.

Officers called to the scene were able to quickly locate the snake and determined it was non-poisonous.

The two men were arrested nearby.

Police have found a tempo-rary home for the snake until it can be released into the wild next spring.
