ARNE PE TRYSHENThe Canadian Museum

of Rail Travel is setting off on a new track that directors hope will make a more di-versified destination muse-um for the area.

The relaunch will see the museum become the Cran-

brook History Centre. At city council on Mon-

day, Charlotte Murray, exec-utive director of the Canadi-an Museum of Rail Travel, said they aim to increase sustainability while expand-ing audiences, and increase the value of the museum to

the people of Cranbrook, while being responsible stewards of the collections.

“Interest in our trains has been declining, to survive we needed to broaden our appeal,” Murray said.

In 2013, the board and director at the time deter-

mined that the organization needed to go in a new direc-tion.

They determined that the guiding principals would di-rect the new direction.

“Broadening our audi-ence base is going to be huge,” Murray said. “We will

engage our residents by changing exhibitions which will focus on history, art, culture and nature.”

Murray said they will also be creating new programs, such as education programs for students and families, and special events.

“We want to engage our community — we want to bring the residents of Cran-brook into that facility,” she said. “I think for too long we’ve been at arms length and we want the community to know that we are open for business, we are welcoming and that it is indeed for the citizens.”

FOR THE TOWNSMANThe BC Coroners Service

has confirmed the identity of a man who died following a police shooting in Castlegar on Jan. 29, 2015.

The man was Waylon Jesse Edey, aged 39, of Yahk.

Mr. Edey was shot follow-ing an encounter with RCMP officers which occurred during the evening of Jan. 29, near the east end of the Kin-naird Bridge on Highway 3 in Castlegar. He was trans-ported to Kootenay-Bound-ary Regional Hospital in Trail, but succumbed to his injuries a short time after his arrival at hospital.

The BC Coroners Service and the Independent Investi-gations Office (IIO) continue to investigate this death.

The mandate of the IIO is to investigate whether any offences under the Criminal Code may have been com-mitted by the police officers involved.

The mandate of the BC Coroners Service in such cases is broader, and the cor-oner’s investigation may look at the events that led up to the final fatal outcome and whether there are reasonable and practical recommenda-tions that could be made which might prevent future deaths in similar circum-stances.

Tre vor Cr awleyThough Target Canada is closing

down stores across the country, there is products on the shelves that must go.

With that in mind, the company is seeking a court-approved process to allow liquidation companies to sell off store contents potentially as soon as Thursday.

Target Canada announced mid-January that it will be closing down operations at 133 locations just two years after setting up shop north of the 49th parallel.

Roughly 17,000 employees will be affected across Canada and 200 in Cranbrook.

Store closures will vary by loca-tion, according to a company spokes-person, when the announcement was make two weeks ago.

Brian Cornell, Target Corporation CEO, cited profitability concerns—the company didn’t foresee Canadi-an operations becoming profitable till 2021—as the reasons for filing for bankruptcy.

“When I joined Target, I promised our team and shareholders that I would take a hard look at our busi-

ness and operations in an effort to improve our performance and trans-form our company,” said Cornell, in a press release.

“After a thorough review of our Canadian performance and careful consideration of the implications of all options, we were undoable to find a realistic scenario that would get Target Canada to profitability until at least 2021. Personally, this was a very difficult decision, but it was the right decision for our company.”

Cranbrook’s Target location opened up on May 7, 2013.

“The Target Canada team has worked tirelessly to improve the fun-damentals, fix operations and build a deeper relationship with our guests. We hoped that these efforts in Cana-da would lead to a successful holiday season, but we did not see the re-quired step-change in our holiday performance,” said Cornell. “There is no doubt that the next several weeks will be difficult, but we will make every effort to handle our exit in an appropriate and orderly way.”

Target liquidation to begin as early as Thursday

Everything must go

Murray said it is diffi-cult for museums to find a balance between, res-toration and interpreta-tion of their collections.

“We’re doing this by assessing our collection and determining what is our prime ship of reve-nue generators and de-termining what will happen to the rest of our collection,” she said.

Back in 2013, the mu-seum board engaged a marketing agency. The agency determined that the museum’s vision for the future was not accu-rately described in the name Canadian Muse-um of Rail Travel.

The Cranbrook His-tory Centre will act as an umbrella for Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, the Cranbrook Archives, the Royal Alexandra Hall and the Cranbrook Museum.

The Cranbrook Mu-seum will have galleries with local history exhib-its, geology, palaeontol-ogy and natural history.

“This will encompass all that we are in Cran-brook,” she said, adding that between Calgary and Vancouver there is nothing that quite meets up to what the museum has.

“We have huge po-tential.”

She said they want to enhance the “nationally important” collection of railway legacy.

“This is something that we want to build on. We want to enhance our collection and scale down to something that is significant.”

Murray said they are also decreasing reliance on financial support from the city over time in favour of self-reliance.

“We are working to maximize the return on the city’s investment for the five years, we want to multiply the funding that we have attracted from provincial, federal and private sources. Al-ready we have attracted millions of dollars in capital investment from non-municipal sourc-es.”

She said over the past 10 years they have raised over $8.2 million. They hope to raise between $1.5 and $2.5 million from non-municipal and private sources in the next five years.

Cranbrook History Centre

Coun. Isaac Hockley noted that the museum would be a great loca-tion for the Cranbrook and District Arts Coun-cil.

Murray said she has a list from some time ago that outlines the art

council’s issues with moving in there. Murray also saw issues.

“We have considered this, but we just don’t feel that it is a partner-ship that would work for each other,” she said.

Coun. Norma Blissett

was excited about the prospects of the muse-um and hoped to see some logging history.

Council will have an opportunity to view the facility later in February and discuss the changes coming to the museum.

Some parts of Marysville under Boil Water notice

C arolyn Gr anTSome residents of Marysville have

been under a Boil Water Notice since Monday, February 2.

All users of the Matthew Creek system (including Marysville, Kim-berley Golf Course, Riverside Camp-ground, River Bend Lane, River Bend Road, River Ridge Way, Tamarack Lane and Sunflower Drive), have been ordered to boil water until fur-ther notice.

The issue was a mechanical fail-

ure which has caused a lack of chlo-rine residual in the system. By Mon-day evening, city operations staff had restored the chlorine residual to nor-mal levels, but were unable to re-scind the Boil Water Notice until water submitted for testing was given the okay. It is expected the order will be rescinded today or Thursday.

The City will post the informaiton on its website kimberley.ca and also on their Facebook page as soon as the order is lifted.

Jenny ByFordOn Monday, Febru-

ary 9, bait your hook and cast your line and you might reel in some-thing much bigger than just a rainbow trout. On BC Family Day, the Family Fishing Derby for Kids with Cancer will return for its sixth year on Horseshoe Lake, but this year with a new grand prize.

Traditionally, one of the main attractants of the ice-fishing derby has been the prize awarded for the largest fish and many outdoor enthusi-asts have eagerly await-ed this year’s announce-ment. The new Derby organizers, JCI Koote-nay is pleased to an-nounce that this year’s grand prize is an Out-cast Fish Cat 13, a two person pontoon boat. With the support of Just Liquid Sports, organiz-ers were able to secure a

had to be cancelled due to thin ice brought on by unseasonably warm weather, but thankfully, this year Mother Nature has been kind. Organiz-ers confirmed Horse-shoe has a solid base layer of quality ice which is plenty enough to withstand the ice fishing derby festivities. The Family Fishing Derby is proceeding this Family Day Monday.

Tickets are still avail-able in Cranbrook at Mountain Man Out-doors, the Canadian Cancer Society, Barber’s on Ninth, the Fort Steele Store and Gas Station or online at Snapd East Kootenay. Tickets can also be purchased at Horseshoe Lake; every-

one needs a ticket to at-tend. Tickets are only $10 for adults and $5 for children/seniors.

The Family Fishing Derby is organized by JCI Kootenay (Junior Chamber International) as a fundraiser to sup-port children facing cancer. Proceeds of the derby support the entire Kootenay community and JCI is very thankful to the generous busi-nesses from across the region that makes this event possible. JCI Koo-tenay is still looking for volunteers to help the weekend of the derby. If you are available, please contact Mike Matejka at 250-919-5532 or at [email protected]

Family Fishing Derby Grand Prize Announced

great deal on the boat ensuring that it is fully equipped with seats, oars and cargo bags for the lucky derby winner. This pontoon boat model is valued at $3,000 and is perfect to navigate rough rivers and all types of lakes.

For the children’s category, the first prize is equally exciting as the winner will receive a flat screen television and gaming system gener-ously sponsored by Cal-

iper Machine and Hy-draulics. However even those who don’t fish have a chance to win as each ticket is eligible for door prizes and entry into the best dressed to-boggan and best dressed dog contests. There is also a 50/50 draw and silent auction as well as plenty of activities in-cluding hockey with the Kimberley Dynamiters, archery and kids’ crafts and games.

Geoff, old friend:I feel so sorry that you never made it

here to visit us, and climb with us in this lovely valley. I know you’ve been to the Himalayas but, as you told me, you really didn’t do much there because of the pol-itics and those companions of yours who wandered over into Chi-nese territory and caused all the ruckus.

I know that you and I with the gang had at least one season in the Alps at Chamonix, but being able to live here at the foot of the Rocky Mountains has been a wonderful experience.

If you had managed to visit us, I most certainly would have tried to bring you in from the west, from Vancouver. Most friends and relatives that came here did so by way of Calgary and they most cer-tainly enjoyed the drive through the Rockies and the national parks but they missed the joyful sight of the Rockies and Fisher peak that you get when you drive from the Coast. When almost here in Cranbrook, you would have come past deep, chilly Moyie Lake and then, sud-denly, the valley would have opened be-fore your eyes and you’d have seen why we chose to live here.

To the west of Cranbook and our neighbouring town Kimberley are the Purcell Mountains which, in many places

even taller than the local Rockies, lie back and present wooded hills, long meander-ing valleys with snowy peaks in the dis-tance. To the east stand the Rockies, the long ridge of the Steeples, the arrowhead of Fisher Peak, the aptly named Teepee and ridges continuing along beside the

valley and the roads north.When we first came to

live here, there had been a great deal of mining, much of it during the war, and many companies were still logging the forests and so there were dirt roads going up almost every valley. If

we took care to keep out eyes open as to the activities of the logging trucks, we could use those roads and get into the heart of the mountains and find ways up them. In many of the upper basins there was little evidence of anybody having been there before us. We followed game trails and found our own ways. They were exciting days.

I well remember entertaining Dick’s visiting daughter Caroline and naming a tiny lake after her. We swam in that lake but she stayed in the frigid water for ages. It was only later that we found out that she had a job teaching scuba diving in the sea off Scotland. My cousin Ron stayed with us and he had the thrill of watching four grizzlies cross our path as we drove up a steep, eroded road. My

cousin’s daughter, a real Londoner called Elaine, followed us along the ridge be-yond the Lakit Lookout one day until we heard her plaintive cries of “’Ere, Wite for me!” We waited.

The Simpsons, Alan and Joan enjoyed themselves and we spent several sunlit days with them on the ridges, the only real excitement being that Joan got her foot wedged in between some rocks and we had to cut off her boot.

We’ve climbed almost all of the peaks in this area except, maybe, some of those crumbling ones in the middle of the Stee-ples. Some folk claim that they’ve tra-versed the lot, but I not sure.

The odd thing is: almost all of our mountain friends have been immigrants as we were. When we first arrived here the locals rarely ventured into the moun-tains unless prospecting for minerals or, more likely, hunting. I recall one fellow watching us through his binoculars as we yelled and screamed, glissading down a steep snow-slope and then, when we got to him, being baffled because we were neither hunting nor prospecting.

But things have changed over the last sixty years. The once almost deserted mountains have tracks all over the place and, on a sunny weekend in summer, the local Rockies can crawl with people like downtown Vancouver.

You missed the halcyon days, old friend. Pity.

Jordan Busch (#10) celebrates his third-period goal with Jared Marchi (#15), Eric Buckley (#12) and Jason Richter (#40). The Nitros went on to a 7-2 victo-ry over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Blast warningDynamiters extend lead on Creston Valley Thunder Cats with blowout win

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

The situation can’t get much worse for the College of the Rockies Avalanche men’s volley-ball team. With a pair of losses to the Columbia Bible College Bearcats this past weekend, the Avs have dorpped seven consecutive matches and sit in the PACWEST basement.

Friday, the Avs bat-tled but came up short in a five-sets loss (16-25, 25-16, 17-25, 25-18, 11-15) to the Bearcats.

Saturday, the visitors made quick work of the hosts in a straight-sets sweep (11-25, 18-25, 22-25).

“Mentally, we’re de-flated. We have to start over again being one

[set] down,” said Avs as-sistant coach John Swan-son on Saturday. “Whether we win or lose, it’s just how we play. You can lose by making posi-tive mistakes, or trying to play aggressively. But when you’re playing passively or afraid -- that just sets the tone for the match.

“Give the guys credit. In the second and third sets, they became more competitive. But why that first set is that way -- it’s a maturation pro-cess; it’s a mental tough-ness kind of process and it’s what we’ve been working on all year. It’s still a work in progress, obviously.”

In 18 matches to date, the Avalanche have only managed to win their first set four times.

This weekend, the Avs welcome the fifth-place University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cas-cades to Cranbrook in hopes of finding a way into the win column for the first time since a five-sets victory over Capila-no University Nov. 29.

While the men con-tinue to struggle, the Lady Avs continue to build on unprecedented success.

Head coach Andrew Zurrin’s group improved to 9-9 with a pair of straight-sets victories over the Bearcats this past weekend (25-20, 25-20, 25-13 - Friday; 25-21, 25-20, 25-20 - Saturday).

“If we played clean and hit enough balls, we knew we could take [the Bearcats] out,” Zurrin said Saturday. “They

only had one real weap-on. I knew their lineup -- we matched up well against it. “

Zurrin was forced to draw from his bench Saturday, with injuries to a number of his regu-lar starters. The depth of

Zurrin’s squad was on display, giving the Lady Avs’ bench boss confi-dence moving forward.

“Not only were we a tight team before, but we have become a bet-ter, full team because everybody has contrib-

uted,” Zurrin said. “Ev-erybody knows they have self-worth as an Avalanche player.”

The Lady Avs face UFV this weekend, trail-ing the Cascades by two points in the standings. A pair of victories would

vault the Lady Avs into fourth place in the PACWEST.

The ladies hit the court at 6 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. Saturday.

The men provide the encore at 8 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday.

Less than six weeks ago, Jared Marchi thought he might not be able to suit up for the Kimberley Dynamiters again during the 2014-15 KIJHL season.

Tuesday, the 19-year-old was back with the Nitros on home ice for the first time since that frightening moment, scoring the game-win-ning goal in a critical 7-2 victory over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

“It’s a great feeling to be back,” Marchi said Tuesday. “It’s exciting. I honestly can’t explain it.”

In the dying minutes of a 2-1 loss to the Fernie Ghostriders Dec. 29, Marchi crashed into the boards before being wheeled off the Fernie Memorial Arena ice on a stretcher.

“Extremely painful and it wasn’t fun,” Mar-chi recalled. “At that point, I was just really worried as to whether I’d be able to play hock-ey again for the rest of the year, or even skate.”

What Marchi didn’t know at the time was he had suffered a pelvic in-jury that, in spite of the excruciating pain, would only keep him out of the lineup for nine games through the month of January.

Marchi, a part of the Nitros leadership core, made his return to duty Jan. 30 in Creston. He credited his physiothera-pist as well as the Dyna-miters bench staff for his quick return to action.

Marchi cashed in on a shorthanded, two-on-one opportunity, taking a pass from captain Jason Richter, to put his team ahead 3-0 in the first period Tuesday. The goal stood as the game-winner and the Nitros built a five-point lead on the Thunder Cats for second place in the Eddie Mountain Di-vision and home ice ad-vantage in the first round of the KIJHL playoffs.

“He’s pretty much our heart and soul,” Richter said of Marchi. “He’s one of our hardest working guys. He’s reli-able out there. You know when he’s out there that he’s not going to make many mistakes because he is such a good player and such a veteran play-er. He’s got tons of expe-rience in the league. It’s definitely nice having him back.”

Marchi wrapped up the night with a goal and an assist. Since his return Jan. 30, the 5-foot-11 for-ward has chipped in with two goals and four points in three games.

Richter chipped in

with two assists, pushing his way into a tie for the KIJHL scoring lead with 36 goals and 62 points through 48 games.

The Cranbrook native is tied atop the leader-board with Fernie Ghostrider Doan Smith (35-37-62), who was in-jured this past weekend and out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.

“I try not to think about it. I could really care less if I win [the scoring race] or not,” Richter said. “It’s all about the team and how many points the team gets. We just want home-ice advantage.”

The Nitros host Fern-ie Friday at 7 p.m.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will be coming off of an un-usually busy period, where you felt as though you were going from one problematic area to another. Know that you don’t have to push yourself so hard in the future. Be smart and relax. Tonight: Let off some steam. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be in a position where you want to break away from it all. On some level, your reaction to pressure is part of what causes so many challeng-ing situations. Try to assume a more laissez faire attitude, and you will be a lot happier. To-night: Head home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have a lot to say, and you are going to say it. The prob-lem lies in the fact that no one is likely to really absorb the meaning behind your words. You might have to repeat your-self several times, which could make you feel extremely frus-trated. Tonight: Hang out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are full of energy and fun; however, your finances could spiral out of control. Some form of overindulgence is likely to rear its ugly head. You probably won’t even thinking about what you are doing. Don’t worry -- no one is perfect. Tonight: Your treat. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be running on fumes, but you’ll be enjoying every moment. It wouldn’t hurt to stop and relish this period. If you have something of signifi-cance to do, do it. Just don’t be surprised if you have to repeat the process again later. Tonight: Let your charisma speak. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to get away from your daily routine. Choose a relaxing activity that you en-joy. Consider taking a nap or going to a movie. It’s important that you not exert too much physical effort to complete what you want done. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Friends surround you, which

will make it easy to enjoy your-self and get into the moment. You might be questioning what would best to do under the circumstances. Let go of any doubts you have, and you will feel a lot better. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Realize that you are in the lime-light and your actions will be observed. Even if you believe otherwise, the truth will reveal itself soon enough. Do only what you must today. It would be wise not to start a new proj-ect. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out to someone at a dis-tance who means a lot to you. Make time to catch up on this person’s news. You might want to think carefully about some of what you are hearing. Why not make plans to see each other soon? Tonight: Let your imagi-nation choose. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) An associate or loved one is like-ly to take charge. Kick back and enjoy a day off. Of course it will

be hard to release your need for control, but if you don’t, you could have a power play on your hands. Take some extra time to visit with a friend. Tonight: To-getherness works. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Defer to others, and welcome a conversation. Your friendly, out-going personality tends to melt barriers, which allows more give-and-take. Keep it easy and relaxed. It is important to have a few calm hours to yourself. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s idea. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pace yourself, and know that you have a lot to do. You could be overwhelmed by all the choices you have. Realize that this is not the kind of day that you’ll want to make a decision. Instead, just take your time; the answer will come to you. Tonight: Go for a walk. BORN TODAY Former U.S. Vice President Dan Quayle (1947), civil-rights ac-tivist Rosa Parks (1913), boxer Oscar De La Hoya (1973)

Dear Annie: I have a family history of car-diovascular disease and lost my mom to a heart attack when she was only 32. To be preventive about my own health, I had something called a vascular wellness screening: a check of my arteries for athero-sclerosis, the plaque that builds up in our arteries as we age. The tests were easy, pain-less and held at a local church. I had some mild blockage in the arteries of my neck, but nothing serious at the time. Two years later, my doctor recommend-ed that I repeat the tests. This time, my left neck artery was significantly blocked. This signaled to my doctor that my heart arteries could be blocked, too, and tests showed that to be true. With my family history, there was no doubt that I was at high risk for heart at-tack and stroke, but I wouldn’t have known without the screening. I encourage people to get their arteries screened. Most people don’t think about the health of their arteries or know the word “atherosclerosis,” but getting these tests could help you know what is going on inside your body before something serious hap-pens. Work with your doctor, and share your test results so that he or she can use them to help you stay well for as long as possible. -- Joan P. in New Jersey Dear Joan P.: Thank you for this timely information. February is American Heart Month. Cardiovascular disease is the lead-ing cause of death in this country. Those who have a family history of heart disease or stroke and feel that a screening would be beneficial should contact their doctor or any local hospital or university health center to set up an appointment. For more information on American Heart Month and how to maintain a healthy heart, check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website at cdc.gov/Features/HeartMonth or the American Heart Association (heart.org). Dear Annie: My wife’s college roommate visited us for five days. She turned out to be the Visitor from Hell. Here’s what hap-pened: She strongly recommended that we take her to a certain restaurant that serves great food. We took her three times, at her request, and guess who paid the bill. My wife prepared all the other meals, and our guest never once offered to take us out. In addition, she didn’t even bring us a small hostess gift, which, although we didn’t need one, would have been thoughtful and ap-preciated. During her entire stay, this woman bragged nonstop about everything she has done and will do. She used my comput-er several times and had me print out one article after another for her personal use. I tried to be nice, but by the fifth day, I lost it, especially when she asked my wife to wash her dirty clothes. Before leaving, this inconsiderate guest expressed the wish to return next year. My wife puts up with her eccentricities, but I can’t. What do you suggest? -- Frustrated Husband Dear Frustrated: Unless your wife is will-ing to ask her friend to stay at a hotel for at least part of the visit, nothing will change. There’s no reason you both have to put up with this guest. Let your wife enjoy a few days with her ex-roommate while you visit family or friends elsewhere, either for part or all of the time she’s there. Dear Annie: This is for “Tolerant in the Land of Enchantment,” who pointed out the necessity of blowing one’s nose when eating red and green chili at Christmastime in New Mexico. “Tolerant” is obviously a transplant to our area. First of all, it’s chile, not “chili.” Chile start out green on the vine and turn red when ripe. In New Mexico, both are popular. When ordering chile, some folks can’t de-cide which to get and order “Christmas,” which means both red and green chile, re-gardless of the time of year. -- A Northern New Mexico Native 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.
