ARNE PETRYSHENThe Kootenay Trout

Hatchery has begun stocking the region’s lakes with kokanee and trout. The first stock took place last week at Campbell Lake, near Fort Steele. That was fol-lowed by Premier Lake later last week.

Lance Page, Hatch-ery Manager, said they will be up to 140 stock-ing lakes and rivers with about 1.2 million fish in the next two months.

The locations to stock are determined by the regional biologist based on need.

“We have three dif-ferent strains of Rain-bow, we have kokanee, we have two strains of the sturgeon, we have the Eastern Brook trout and we have cutthroat,” Page said.

Page explained that some of the fish are raised for family fishing lakes, while others are raised for fly fishing or trophy lakes.

“Some do better in different environments — that’s why we have different stocks of Rain-bow,” Page said. “Throughout the region we have lakes identified as trophy lakes, lakes identified as family fish-ing lakes and they are stocked accordingly. So the family fishing lakes will get what we call catchables —  fish that are of a size ready to catch. Great for kids and camping.”

Then there are the fish that are great jump-ers and fighters that will go to the trophy lakes.

Fish stocking season is upon us

TREVOR CRAWLEYThough Nepal is half a

world away, there are plenty of local residents who have con-nections to the country and the tragic situation that has resulted from the 7.9 magni-tude earthquake on Saturday.

The quake has damaged much of Nepal’s infrastruc-ture, which has made it diffi-cult to communicate inside the country.

The earthquake, with the epicentre outside the national capital of Kathmandu, is the worst to hit the country in more than 80 years and has claimed the lives of more than 4,000, with the death toll con-tinually climbing as of Mon-day.

As it stands at press time on Monday afternoon, there are

six confirmed Cranbrook/Kimberley area residents in the country.

•Alex and Tricia McLeod were trekking through the Nepal on their way to Mount Everest Base Camp. They were in a building that collapsed when the earthquake struck, but are safe in Lukla as of Monday via updates to family members and friends in Cran-brook.

When the earthquake struck, the McLeods were in a building that collapsed. A Sherpa, Pema, dove on top of Tricia to protect her and was hit in the head by a falling brick, according to a report from Dennis Parsons, a family friend.

The Week On The Beat: April 20-26

For the townsmAnDo you find you need

a truck from time to time? Or an extra car every now and then? Kootenay Carshare Co-op may be for you! The Kimberley branch has been running suc-cessfully for six years of-fers its thirty plus mem-bers access to a large Ford F150 truck (with towing capacity) and economy car. They are enjoying affordable, re-liable and versatile transportation and you could be too!

Kootenay Carshare Co-op has been operat-ing since 2001 and had over 300 members in six communities in the Kootenays. We are affil-iated with all of the other carsharing coops in BC including Vancou-ver, Victoria, Nanaimo and Kelowna so our members can use their vehicles as well.

To join requires an initial $500 membership share that is fully re-fundable and payable in installments. Members then pay $5 per month to jointly own the vehi-cles and only pay for the hours and kilometers they drive. All of our

rates include gas and in-surance, you won’t find a better deal around. If you only need a truck to get fire wood or occa-sional back-country outings the carshare will save you money on in-surance and mainte-nance. With predict-

able costs it makes a great option for a sec-ond family vehicle.

For more informa-tion visit our website at www.carsharecoop.ca or contact the Kimber-ley branch coordinator Dave Hale at 250-427-4300

Birthday to our

favourite Kiwi, Ruby

From the Oakleys.

They ended up sleep-ing in their clothes with their backpacks at their side incase an aftershock occurred, which eventu-ally hit and they ended up in a self-refugee camp with roughly 50 other people

On Sunday, they headed to Shurke, an area that wasn’t badly damaged and had a functioning helicopter pad. The locals also opened their homes to tourists and refugees and the McLeods and Pema were able to get some rest.

From Shurke, they went to Lukla, which has a hospital and Pema was able to get some medical attention and antibiot-ics.

“The group they are with is concerned about running out of resources soon, so they are going to move on to a smaller town named Chuplung, and about 1.5-hour trek from where they were this morning,” said Par-sons. “They are experi-encing after shocks, and have changed their plans to go to Kathmandu.”

available flight to get back to Canada.

•Annie Coulter and Jim Campbell are also travelling through the country. According to Coulter’s brother, Dave, there hasn’t been any contact yet with the two.

There is also a con-nection with David and Patricia Stock, two re-tired teachers who head up the Canadian Friends of Nepal, which helps support roughly a dozen families and a small

school in the country. There has been limit-

ed communication from the families; one family is safe but out on the streets in Kathmandu, while another family in Kuttal—a little village near Kathmandu, are safe even though their house partially col-lapsed.

Though the Stocks have been in Nepal many times in the past, they are currently on a trip travelling through China.

Gordon Terrace Ele-mentary School has been involved with the group, as students have

raised $6,000 every year since 2011 that they’ve sent to the ‘hot pink’ (named due to the choice of the outside paint job) school near Kuttal, where local pri-mary-aged kids can go to school during the day while their parents work.

Through the influ-ence of the Stocks, Gor-don Terrace staff and students first began rais-ing money four years ago to build the school.

“My school definitely has a vested interest,” said Michelle Sartorel, principal for Gordon Terrace. “I woke up Sat-urday morning and had

emails from my staff concerned about people over in Nepal.”

Gordon Terrace is hosting their bi-annual Celebration Of The Arts in conjunction with a Mother’s Day sale on Thursday, May 7, with funds raised normally going to the hot pink school, however, given the circumstances inside the country, Sartorel is talking with staff and students about redirect-ing the money to hu-manitarian relief and support.

With files from the Canadian Press

The hatchery is also undergoing a million dollar project which will drastically cut down on water use.

“In our big pond-rearing building we’re going to be put-

ting in some new round tanks with what we call airlift technology,” he said. “That should save us about 70 per cent of our water use and will save a pile of hydro money as well.”

The hatchery’s car-bon footprint should also be lower thanks to less heating of water.

The round tanks allow for two-thirds less water to be used in the tanks for the quantity of fish, and have aerators built into the tank, which lift, aerate and recirculate the water.

The aeration units are made by the Fresh-water Fisheries Society

of B.C.“They are a bit of an

in-house invention,” Page said.

The hatchery is also open everyday from 8 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. The vis-itor centre is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for drop-in visits. Guided tours are available be-tween 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. from May to August. Large groups are encouraged to make an appointment if they would like a guided tour.

John Brockman’s ‘This Idea Must Die’ is a collection of essays by top scientists all addressing the question “which scientific idea needs to retire.” String theory, labora-tory mice, and nature vs. nurture are all the chopping block.

Younger readers should enjoy Scott Nickel’s ‘Incredible Rock-head’ books, a series of graphic novels about a young boy with superpow-ers; he can stop an array of evil villains, but can never get the cute girl in school to talk to him.

some scattered thoughts

(Warning, there may be some satire below, so omit, or read twice).

Apparently, many of the Old Guard of Cranbrook decided in the past election to focus on attacking potholes and taxes and threw out the former Group of Seven (GOS). Now we have a new GOS (minus one or two) that are dragging their feet at supporting the Local Arts Council acquisi-tion of a desirable facility. Personally, I think potholes and taxes should both be increased.

The first to profit the businesses of the 10+ tire and 15+ auto repair businesses in town, and the second to increase the con-tingency fund for: (1) carrying out feasibil-ity studies to show that no work is needed or too expensive to do, (2) raising salaries of City staff and workers and the RCMP and (3) leaving a large treasure chest for the future GOS that may take office in 3.7 years.

If we are not careful, the rising storm over the art funding and restoring old and useless heritage buildings will again divide Cranbrook, just as the East Hill debacle did five years ago. (I’m still upset about how that turned out). The addition of fluorida-tion to our water and deer culling (or not) are other popular issues that are effective in maintaining divisions and disharmony in our town. One popular motto that has arisen is, “When we don’t harmonize, we can vandalize”, as demonstrated to be ef-fective by deer culling opponents.

God forbid that we fund new ventures that do not appeal to the majority of voters in the past municipal election. We need more letters like those by Ms. Revie and Ms. Dodgson (Townsman-10 April and 14 April) to hold our feet to the fire. I suggest

that true lasting happiness and richness of life is found in bumpy streets (that we still have) and a large treasure chest (that we don’t have), and certainly not in the tran-sient emotional highs experienced by in-spiration from whimsical historical dis-plays of art, culture and music. Those seem frivolous.

I wonder whether the GOS would con-sider selling City Hall to fill the coffers. If it sold they could then take up residence in the long-vacant “Big Value” building to give that eyesore a new purpose. Or per-haps also sell the clock tower. If bill C-51 passes, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service could purchase it for placement of permanent personnel to keep a look-out for unsavoury characters in our midst.

Jack LoeppkyCranbrook

Fire HallI have great difficulty in understanding

why our Mayor and Council are so reluc-tant to enter into an agreement with the Cranbrook and District Arts Council in re-gard to the Fire Hall Building. The Arts Council has worked long and hard to de-velop a comprehensive business plan that would result in the establishment of a for-ward thinking and productive use of a va-cant, city-owned heritage building. All three levels of government, federal, pro-vincial and municipal, have acknowledged that there are many benefits to fostering and encouraging a vibrant arts culture. So many aspects of society are enhanced by a lively and engaged arts community – it helps drive the economy, educates, fosters inclusiveness and well-being. So why are most of our elected officials challenging, even dismissing, such a beneficial project?

The Arts Council does not want taxpay-ers money. Grant money has already been awarded by the federal government and the CBT towards the planning stages of the project. Our own city council’s official community plan and a $50,000 study that the city paid for also supports such a proj-ect. So why are these positive and affirma-tive actions being ignored, even cast aside? Does the city have its own vision for this building? I, for one, would be very inter-ested to hear if they do have something in mind.

T he Vancouver media’s frantic cover-age of the Great Bunker Spill of 2015 has just about run out of fuel.

By late last week, the usually serious Globe and Mail was reduced to quizzing a U.S. expert who had at first told the CBC he thought the spill response was pretty good. But then he heard that it might have taken up to 12 hours until the leaking grain ship was completely under control, which would be not so good.

This U.S. expert admitted he has not “followed the Vancouver spill very closely,” and was basically speculating. But that’s OK, because the main purpose of this media frenzy is to feed the established nar-rative that the Harper government is gut-ting the Coast Guard while trying to ramp up heavy oil shipments to Asia.

Yeah, that makes sense. A University of Toronto philosophy prof recently suggest-ed that Stephen Harper likes war. Maybe he likes oil spills too.

A retired captain from the now-closed Kitsilano Coast Guard station became the latest of a series of disgruntled ex-employ-ees and union bosses to serve as the me-dia’s go-to critics. He contradicted Coast Guard management at every turn, dismiss-ing them as political appointees with little operational experience.

His claims about loss of spill response capability from Kitsilano are questionable

at best. There was no talk of spill response when Kitsilano closed two years ago, be-cause it was a search and rescue station.

Former B.C. Federation of Labour pres-ident Jim Sinclair held almost daily news conferences as it closed. People are going to drown, warned a parade of union

spokespeople.It’s been two years, and

nobody has.Premier Christy Clark

and Vancouver Mayor Gre-gor Robertson were quick to summon TV cameras as oil-sheen angst spreading through condo towers. They

declared the Coast Guard response a fail-ure before they had any real understand-ing of it.

Unifor, the union representing Coast Guard employees, has vowed a full-scale election advertising attack on the Conser-vatives this year. On federal budget day, Unifor protested the closure of the Ucluelet Coast Guard ship monitoring station. Sim-ilar stations in Vancouver and Comox are also closing this year, replaced by a new monitoring system run from Prince Rupert and Victoria.

I asked Industry Minister James Moore, the federal minister responsible for B.C., if this is a reduction in service. He said 1970s-era ship tracking equipment is being re-placed with a new system that has already been deployed on the East Coast, to im-prove safety.

“These fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were de-staffed,” Moore said. “I remember peo-ple saying, oh my God, this is going to be the end. And it turned out to be complete nonsense.”

Unifor operatives rushed to the media again last week with dire news of a half-hour outage of this new system, portraying this as evidence of a high-tech disaster waiting to happen. (Ships were told to monitor an old-school emergency radio channel for that uneventful half hour.)

What the union is really doing is ramp-ing up its election propaganda, and inten-sifying efforts to protect redundant posi-tions that are being replaced by new tech-nology.

There was a similar media campaign last year targeting the consolidation of Vet-erans’ Affairs into Service Canada offices. There are serious problems with services to veterans, but union featherbedding would not help them.

The B.C. government is also introduc-ing digital technology, eliminating hun-dreds of paper-pushing jobs in the process, with a mostly realistic response from unions.

But in this federal election year, realism will be in short supply.

Kimberley’s Jared du Toit is in the hunt for the 2015 NCAA Big Sky Conference Men’s Golf Championship after 18 holes at Greenhorn Creek Golf Resort in An-gels Camp, Calif.

The University of Idaho Vandals sopho-more and former stu-dent at Kimberley’s Sel-kirk Secondary School opened the tournament with a one-over 73 during the first round of play, good enough to leave him in a tie for third heading into the second round.

“It definitely could’ve gone better. I made a couple mistakes, stupid little mistakes that just cost me a shot here and there,” du Toit said over the phone from Angels Camp Monday after his opening round. “But other than that, I did a lot of good things. Other than a couple bad breaks, I played pretty solid golf. If I can just build off the positives for tomorrow and fine tune everything else, I’ll be good to go come the final two rounds.

“I was a little indeci-sive on some tee shots and some approach shots. When you’re a lit-tle indecisive, you don’t make the best swing. [Tuesday], having played this course a couple times, my decisions will be a little more crisp and more definite. Hopefully

that shows in my score and I can play a little more aggressive and a little more confident.”

du Toit is one stroke back of co-leaders Riley Hayfield (Sacramento State) and Aaron Cock-erill (Idaho) after open-ing day. Both fired opening-day 72s to fin-ish the day even par.

Three other players join du Toit in a four-way tie for third place after the first round. Vandals teammate Dan-iel Sutton along with Nic Booth (Southern Utah) and Devon Purser (Weber State), all sit at one-over par heading into the second round.

Round two of the 2015 Big Sky Men’s Championship is slated to get underway Tuesday morning. Tee times for round were not set as of print deadline Monday.

du Toit, ranked fourth amongst Canadi-an men’s amateur golf-ers as of April 23, opened the 54-hole conference championship by drain-ing birdies on three of his first four holes be-fore a double-bogey on

the 204-yard, par-three eighth hole dropped him to a one-under 35 on the front nine.

“I kind of had a clear mind coming in and shot by shot played smart,” du Toit said. “I left my approach shots on the right spot of the green and gave myself a good chance at making birdie on the first five holes.”

After knocking down three birdies, five pars and one double bogey on the 3,346-yard front nine, du Toit ran into a bit of trouble on the 3,454-yard back nine.

The Kimberley na-tive dropped two bird-ies, but marked down four bogeys along the way. When all was said and done, he headed into the clubhouse after pencilling in a two-over 38 on the back stretch at Greenhorn Creek Golf Resort Monday after-noon.

“The back nine is definitely tougher than the front nine,” du Toit said. “There’s a couple holes that take the driv-er out of your hand and you’ve really got to posi-tion yourself. I feel like a lot of holes on the back nine are [about] trying to make par and elimi-nate the big number. When you get defensive, they start to go away.

“The holes are a little oddly shaped. It’s just a little tougher.”

Not only is du Toit in the hunt for the individ-

ual title, his Idaho Van-dals crew sits atop the team leaderboard with a combined seven-over 295. Host-team Sacra-mento State is on the heels of the Vandals after registering an nine-over 297 in round one.

Leading the way is Cockerill, a fellow Cana-dian, at even par. Daniel Sutton sits tied with du Toit at one-over, while Rylee Iacolucci (five-over, T16) and Ryan Porch (10-over, T32) round out the Vandals opening-day scoring.

du Toit is one of four Canadians competing for the 2015 Big Sky Men’s Golf Champion-ship. He is joined by Cockerill (Stony Moun-tain, Man.) as well as

Jack Sedgewick (New-market, Ont.) and Sa-meer Kalia (Campbell-ville, Ont.), both of Bing-hamton University.

Sedgewick found himself in a tie for 30th place at 10-over par at the end of the day. Kalia came into the club-house at 13-over par, tied for 38th after his opening round.

The men’s golf cham-pionship features 40 competitors from eight NCAA institutions. Com-peting for the Big Sky Men’s Golf Champion-ship are: the Bingham-ton University Bearcats (Binghamton, N.Y.), Uni-versity of Hartford Hawks (West Hartford, Conn.), University of Idaho Vandals (Moscow,

Idaho), University of North Dakota (Grand Forks, N.D.), University of Northern Colorado Bears (Greeley, Col.), Sacramento State Hor-nets (Sacramento, Calif.), Southern Utah University Thunderbirds (Cedar City, Utah) and Weber State University Wildcats (Ogden, Utah).

The Big Sky Confer-ence is a Division I NCAA conference.

Greenhorn Creek Golf Resort is located in Angels Camp, Calif., ap-proximately 130 km southeast of Sacramen-to.

The 6,801-yard, par-72 track re-designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., opened in 1996 and wanders through the

rolling Sierra Foothills, featuring 100-year-old oak trees above under-ground diggings left be-hind from the California Gold Rush of 1848 to 1855.

This year marks the first NCAA Big Sky Con-ference Men’s Golf Championship since Weber State University claimed the 2002 con-ference title. Men’s golf was absent from Big Sky Conference athletics from 2003 through 2014.

Hamhuis added to Canada’s World Championship rosterc aNaDIaN PrESS

CALGARY - Vancouver Canucks defenceman Dan Hamuis will play for Canada at the 2015 IIHF world championship.

Jim Nill, general manager of Canada’s national men’s team, made the announcement on Monday - two days after Hamuis and his Canucks were elimi-nated from the NHL post-season.

Hamhuis, from Smithers, B.C., will represent Canada for the ninth time in international competi-tion. He helped his country win a gold medal at the

2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.The 32-year-old blue-liner has played in the IIHF

world championship on five previous occasions (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2013), winning a gold medal in 2007 and silver in 2008 and 2009.

Canada opens the tournament against Latvia on May 1. It will also face Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland in pre-liminary-round play.

With the addition of Hamhuis, Canada’s roster now stands at 22 players - two goaltenders, six de-fenceman and 14 forwards.

Weber suffered dislocated kneecap in Predators’ first-round lossaSSocIaTED PrESS

NASHVILLE - Predators captain Shea Weber is recovering from surgery to repair a dislocated right kneecap, an injury that will take up to six weeks for a full recovery.

The Predators announced the injury Monday as players cleaned out following their first-round West-ern Conference playoff loss to Chicago.

Weber spoke to reporters Monday while using

crutches, and says he hasn’t seen what he called a harmless hit against the end boards that ended his season early.

The two-time Olympic gold medallist with Team Canada won the NHL’s hardest shot competition at this season’s All-Star Game weekend with a blast of 108.5 mph. His 26 minutes, 22 seconds of ice time per game ranked fifth in the NHL, a spot behind his defensive partner Roman Josi.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will need to make an extra effort to determine what to do to get some feedback from an important person. Keep in mind that you could be stubborn or provocative if you don’t get the answer you desire. Be aware of the costs of proceeding. Tonight: Get some exercise. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You typically are logical and forthright, but at this point in time, you’ll tap into your creativ-ity when a problem appears. A meeting occurs that could con-fuse you as well as others for a while. You will be fine, as long as you focus on your priorities. Tonight: Go for what you want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Lie low and choose to be passive. Listen carefully to a conversation to determine what is being left out. Confusion seems to sur-round a work-related situation. Let it go; time will help you clear up the problem. Say little and learn a lot. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You know what you want, and you recognize the power of hav-ing support from others. When you speak to others, you have a way of conjuring up a clear men-tal picture for them. Experiment with new ideas and different approaches. Tonight: Out and about. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be aware of the costs of heading in a certain direction. A conver-sation with a friend could be confusing at best. Pressure builds and adds some stress. An associ-ate could paint a totally different picture, void of reality. Be aware. Tonight: Go for a brisk walk, then decide. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will jump over any obstacles that appear. Others are drawn to you, as you are able to ac-complish a lot quickly. The only problem will be a judgment that might upset you or stop you in your tracks. Remember, this is just one opinion -- nothing more. Tonight: Go for the unusual. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) One-on-one relating could

prove to be rather fruitful. Nev-ertheless, keep what you know to yourself right now. Answers might come forward in an odd manner. Someone is likely to ask a question that reveals more knowledge. Honor a promise. Tonight: Not to be found. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep your goals in mind as you approach a situation that has several implications. Avoid ask-ing difficult questions or putting someone on the spot. You have the ability to cloak your thoughts and ask the right questions with-out upsetting someone. Tonight: Where the crowds are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others see how gifted you are in many different ways. A demand might be overwhelming, and your knee-jerk reaction could cause a problem. You will want to see a situation differently from how you have viewed it in the past. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to someone you care about. Your way of proceeding will take you down a traditional

path. Still, be sure to respect others who might suggest a more creative direction. Try the unusual for once, to see what could develop. Tonight: Expand your mind. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Deal with others on an individu-al level. You could be exhausted by what is happening in your im-mediate environment. Pull back some. A financial or emotional risk is sure to be a bad bet. Stay conservative in this realm for now. Tonight: Make it dinner for two. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take charge, and run with an idea while you can. Others won’t intend to interfere, but they will. You have reason to want to back off completely, as confusion seems to surround communi-cation. Play it low-key. Tonight: Don’t challenge someone’s au-thority. BORN TODAY Actress Penelope Cruz (1974), talk-show host Jay Leno (1950), former U.S. President James Monroe (1758) ***

Dear Annie: I believe my sister’s hus-band, “Roy,” is having an affair. He and I have been flirting for several years, and we’ve had several occasions where we could have been together, but because of my sister, we never have. My sister’s marriage has been trou-bled for years. The two of them live together, but in separate rooms. They haven’t been intimate for ages. My sis-ter also has some health issues. Roy has said many times that the two of them should be able to see other people. Re-cently, I saw Roy with some younger woman, and the way they were looking at each other, I knew they were more than friends. He has never looked at my sister that way. We do a lot of things together as a family. During our most recent family weekend, Roy kept taking off alone. I believe Roy knows that I’m aware of his affair, even though he hasn’t said any-thing. I’m pretty sure my sister already knows and is hurting. She barely speaks to him and spends most of her time with her grandchildren. They both act as though nothing has happened. Roy has cheated before. I don’t want my sister to be hurt again, but I also don’t want to make things awkward between the two of us. I think it’s time for my sister to let Roy go and move on. How do I handle this? -- Hurting, Too Dear Hurting: We think you are overly involved in your sister’s marriage. You have no proof of anything, only suspi-cions, and the fact that you have flirted with your brother-in-law in the past raises questions about your motives now. Your sister may be choosing not to confront her husband’s behavior, and that is up to her. Please try to be emo-tionally supportive of whatever path she takes to deal with this. Be a shoul-der to lean on when she needs one. You don’t have to do more. Dear Annie: I have liked this boy for almost a year. When I first started hang-ing out with him, one of his friends told me he liked me, too. He eventually asked for my phone number at church, and I gladly handed it over. But we soon stopped hanging out, which left me feeling hopelessly con-fused. My friends say I should just go for it and ask him for his number. What should I do? -- Hopeless Dear Hopeless: This boy may have needed a lot of courage to ask for your number and didn’t have enough in re-serve to actually call. Or he may have been teased by his friends and pretend-ed that it was a joke to save face. Or he may be less interested than you hoped. There’s no way to know unless you take the next step yourself. We know it’s dif-ficult, so imagine a negative result -- he turns down your request for his num-ber. So? At least you’ll know he’s not the guy for you, and you can put it behind you. It’s better than hanging in limbo indefinitely. Good luck. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

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.

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.

This is the second gift from the group of 17 supporting a major campaign for the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The first was

for the digital stereotactic mam-mography unit and the current gift is making an impact for equip-ment for the current EKFH’s in-tensive care campaign.

“Our Lady Lions are just so pleased to have been able to sup-port the foundation and the re-gional hospital ICU project,” said Sand Creek Lady Lions President Maxine Johnson. “This gift is our

way of sayings thank for offering the best in health care to those of us living in Jaffray.”

The group conducts a fall auc-tion, Christmas baking and craft sale and a pancake breakfast as part of their yearly fundraising ef-forts. To learn more about the Sand Creek Lady Lions contact Maxine Johnson at 429-3438.
