Liberal leadership candidate visits Barry Coulter Cranbrook Daily Townsman

One of the considered front-running candidates for the Liberal Party of Canada leadership made a whirlwind trip to Cranbrook and Kimberley Sunday.

Martha Hall Findlay, a politician, lawyer and businesswoman, met with supporters and interested members of the public for a luncheon in Cranbrook and supper in Kimberley.

Hall Findlay had shared some thoughts on the current leadership race, which features several high-profile candidates, including herself, former astronaut Marc Garneau, and Justin Trudeau. A lot hinges on the outcome of the contest, Hall Findlay said, after a luncheon at the Prestige Inn. “I firmly believe that at this point in the Liberal Party’s lifetime we don’t have any chances left,” she said. Though she didn’t cite Trudeau by name, Hall Findlay has made news tangling with the Montreal MP.

Province plans pesticide regulations Pesticide license will be required for application in most cases CAROLYN GRANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Many British Columbians are concerned about the use of cosmetic pesti-

cides in their communities. Many communities, including Kimberley, have enacted bylaws disallowing them. The Canadian Cancer Society has been lobbying hard for a provincial cosmetic pesticide bylaw, and the provincial government did form a special task force to look into the issue last year.

What has come out of that task force are some recommendations for regulations around the use of cosmetic pesticides,

though not the ban the Cancer Society wants.

According to the Ministry of Environment, the new regulations will be developed to: (i) require a pesticide licence to apply most pesticides in landscaped areas, ; and (ii) establish a list of pesticides that may be used in landscaped areas without a licence.

This will mean that homeowners will

be able to use a small list of pesticides themselves. Any other pesticide use will need to be applied by a licensed pesticide applicator.

These changes are intended to ensure that, in areas frequented by people, most pesticides are applied by knowledgeable people using Integrated Pest Management. This is intended to reduce unnecessary pesticide use.

Don’t know what to do with your leftover pennies? Overwaitea in Kimberley has a penny drive ongoing to collect funds for Childrens Hospital. The goal for the year is $10,000. Currently $1,721 has been raised.

Pesticide regulations coming From Page 1 “We want to ensure that, in areas where people are most likely to be exposed, only trained people use pesticides and that pesticides are used in the context of integrat-

ed pest management programs,” an MOE spokesperson told the Bulletin.

However, municipalities and First Nations with regulation-making authority may opt out.

“It’s difficult to comment on the amendments as the Bill has not yet been passed and regulations haven’t been drafted,” said Canadian Cancer Society Manager of Media Re-

lations, Sheila Dong.

“In general, the Canadian Cancer Society, BC & Yukon, believes that lawn and garden pesticides are unnecessary and that their use should be prohibited. We are and will

Scoops Kimberley Quiz BRIAN CROWE For the Bulletin

Here is another one of those quizzes from our past here in Kimberley and area. Those days we will remember in our hearts — enjoy!

1. What were the nickname of the Kimberley Legion, the Canadian Hotel and the Kimbrook Motor Hotel?

2. In what year were the Dunromin Motel or apartments now, built?

3. Remember the late Bill Moffat? He had a saying of the end of his weekly column, in the Kimberley Daily Bulletin. What was it?

4. Which Kimberley Bakery has been around the longest, the City Bakery or the Mark Creek Bakery?

5. Who wore an “Okala” muscle shirt out at Wasa, broke ashtrays over his head in the Kimberley Hotel, sat down for beer with a bag of money at the table, was a good boxer and took on 100 Ger-

continue to advocate for provincial legislation and regulations that would ban the use and sale of pesticides on lawns, gardens and non-agricultural landscaping.”

With the release of the latest provincial budget, British Columbians are taking a close look at where the BC Liberal government is saying they plan to spend taxpayer’s money.

But there is one line item in the budget that continues to raise the hackles of voters across the province: the on-going spending spree on partisan, pro-Liberal government advertising.

The $17 million wasted on these ads could actually be spent on programs and services that make life better for British Columbians. But that is not the choice the BC Liberals are making.

Adrian Dix, leader of the Opposition, is serious about putting a stop to government-funded,

partisan ads. In fact, he has already prepared legislation, the Government Advertising Act, which will establish strict guidelines for all government advertising. This legislation was presented in the House on February 18.

If the BC Liberals were willing to allow this legislation to be debated and passed, all government advertising would have to meet certain standards. Government advertising would be restricted to presenting information objectively, in tone and content, with facts expressed clearly and accurately using unbiased and objective language.

From Page 3 Gone would be the feel-good ads promoting the BC Liberal’s Jobs Plan that claim that job numbers in British Columbia are on the increase when in fact jobs have been lost.

Government ads could no longer include the name, voice or image of the Premier or members of Cabinet.

Government ads could no longer be partisan in nature. And government ads could no longer be timed to promote the governing party’s political interests ahead of an election.

And it would be the responsibility of the Auditor General to review every

government ad to ensure that it meets this standard.

This is the kind of legislation that British Columbians want and need. It is an example of how government should function to ensure that the public good is put ahead of partisan interests.

If you support the implementation of the Government Advertising Act, make sure the Premier is aware of your opinion. Send an email today to premier@gov.bc.ca demanding that this legislation, which is now before the House, be allowed to go forward for debate.

Martha Hall Findlay in town “There are no silver bullets, we’ve done the silver bullet thing — and this is not a personal comment, but this cannot be about celebrity, it has to be about substance. It has to be about experience, it has to about the package of things that somebody brings to the table in order to understand the challenges facing many Canadians.”

The fact that the race is generating such publicity and an amount of controversy is a good thing, however.

“It’s great that people are starting to pay attention to this. There are

nine candidates, all of whom bring great things to the table. That is all good for the party.”

This is Hall Findlay’s second Liberal leadership campaign. She ran in 2006, in a race that Stephane Dion eventually won.

“It’s nice to be a front-runner this time,” she said. “In 2006 I don’t think anyone thought of me that way. But a lot has changed. For me, being elected twice, I’ve held four different senior shadow cabinet portfolios in the intervening time.

“But we’ve also had seven years of a Stephen Harper government, and a lot of the concerns

we had seven years ago have proved more than valid.”

As her campaign takes across the land, Hall Findlay says the great commonality from region to region is concern for the economy.

“For me the economy is the single biggest issue for most people,”she said. “There are obviously regional concerns — there are specific employment concerns, specific environmental concerns depending on the region.

But overwhelmingly people are concerned about the economy.

Every Canadian wants a job, every Canadian wants their kids to have a better future than theirs, every Canadian wants to be proud of us as a country.”

On April 6, 2013, the Liberal Party will hold a “National Showcase” in Toronto, where voting will begin, using preferential ballot. On April 14, the voting will end, and the election result announced.

Also currently in the running for the leadership are: David Bertschi, Martin Cauchon, Deborah Coyne, Marc Garneau, Karen McCrimmon, Joyce Murray, George Takach and Justin Trudeau.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Vitamin B12 I am a fully licensed Naturopathic Doctor and I came across an article in the Bulletin published on Thursday, Feb. 21, called “Treat Sleeplessness with Vitamins.”

I am concerned about public safety due to the dose of Vitamin B12 that was printed. The proper daily dose of B12 is “1000 micrograms” which is equivalent to 1 milligram and it was printed to take 25 milligrams or 25,000 micrograms per day.

This dose can be extremely dangerous as B12 is stored in the central nervous system and can lead to neurological damage.

High B12 levels in the elderly have been linked to increased mortality and lower survival rates which was the target audience of the article. Furthermore, B12 can interact with prescription medications and can cause acute attacks of gout.

The author of this article was not stated and I urge you to consult a medical professional and use caution when publishing doses as vitamins and minerals can be quite dangerous when taken improperly.

Just because it is ‘natural’ does not make it safe.

I think Vitamin B12 is a very important nutritional supplement and I use it in clinical practice often.

Crown land/democracy Dave Reeves’ letter to the editor (Feb. 18), is a demonstration of how people

squat by Crown land and get exorcised at any possibility of the government giving the OK for some specific use of the Crown land. Land that belongs to all of us.

A letter from the Premier on New Era Promises (July 20, 2001) states: 1. Eliminate backlog and delays in Crown land applications.

2. Provide faster approvals and greater access to Crown land and resources.

Recently the Liberal government has given away over 15,000 acres of Crown land to a Vancouver land developer — then pronounced it a town, then appointed a mayor and two councillors.

If Mr. Reeves is concerned about democracy and equality, he has a jumbo opportunity on May 14 to demonstrate his concern by voting for a return to democracy, where a mayor and council are elected by local people and where local people are listened to on the use of Crown land.

William G. Hills Cranbrook

Push-polling, etc Lee Atwater was a political thug who controlled the American election agenda through the 1970s and 1980s for Ronald Reagan and George Bush the Elder.

He will always be associated with two of the most toxic developments in North American politics, the attack ad and push-polling, the most recent example of which came through our home phone recently — Toronto pollsters spinning

the B.C. provincial government’s throne speech, budget and election strategy.

Push-polling is a tactic aimed at planting ideas rather than harvesting them. For instance, a traditional-type poll might ask,’ Would you consider voting for Candidate X in the upcoming election?’ In a push-poll the question would be, ‘ Would you consider voting for Candidate X in the upcoming election given that he is a four-time bankrupt and a closet Nazi?’ An exaggeration certainly, but not by much.

The current crop of BC Liberal and special interest group attack ads also grow in the same arid soil as the pushpoll.

They are the sign of a government which is afraid to stand on its record.

They are essentially anti-democratic in that they subordinate the rational exchange of ideas to fear, smear and character assassination.

Essentially, they expose the negativity which is at the very core of right-wing political philosophy.

Lee Atwater may have died of brain cancer in 1991, but apparently he has left behind a legacy which has been adopted by the BC Liberal Party.

Regardless of whether his attack ads and push-polls worked for Reagan and George HW Bush, the BC Liberals are to be condemned for using them in the current provincial election campaign.

They should be reminded that we live in British Columbia and not in Arkansas.

Friends of Burma support ongoing Barb Ryeburn

I read with interest the CBAL press release in the Townsman last week. It is indeed very exciting that the provincial government is funding the Welcoming Communities initiative.

As a member of EK Friends of Burma, a volunteer group that has been sponsoring and settling refugees to Kimberley and Cranbrook for over 15 years, I am thrilled that the needs of immigrants and refugees is being acknowledged.

My only concern is with the part of the article that spoke about the settlement services to be provided. Katherine Hough is quoted as saying that, “As immigrants come into the community, we will provide the services (to help them settle and acclimatize them).” She goes on to describe the immigrant settlement offices that will be set up in Kimberley and Cranbrook.

While I think settling of all immigrants, including refugees, is indeed an important service, I am quite concerned that no recognition was given in

the article of the current volunteer settlement services that already exist and will continue to be provided in these two communities.

As a Sponsorship Agreement Holder, EK Friends of Burma is the only group who brings refugees to our communities. In some cases, community groups, including churches, sign the undertaking to take on financial responsibility, but even in these cases, we are always involved in supported their application to sponsor them and in providing support with settlement.

As the official sponsors of these refugees, we hold ourselves responsible for providing all essential settlement services. Before refugees arrive we are involved in ensuring that everything is in place to meet their needs.

Once the families arrive, we commit hours each week to setting up all of the community services that they require and providing them with orientation in the community.

During the first few months after the family’s arrival, volun-

teers visit the family on a daily basis, to help them with any immediate needs and to provide friendship, as the initial months in a new country can be very lonely.

Though this support lessens over time, we are still supporting some refugees on a weekly basis who have been living here for four to ten years.

Usually a group of six to ten volunteers is required to provide these countless hours of service. It is indeed a great deal of work but at the same time it is very rewarding. I think this is why we continue to have calls from new people in the community interested in helping out.

Just last week, I introduced a new volunteer to work elderly Karin refugee couple. She is excited to begin tutoring them in English, teaching them some Canadian cooking skills, and helping them with errands.

I am writing because it is important to me to acknowledge the settlement work carried out by all of the EK Friends of Burma volunteers and to ensure that residents of Cran-

brook and Kimberley are aware that EK Friends of Burma volunteers will continue to provide all of these volunteer settlement services to the refugees we have sponsored and to any future refugees arriving in the region.

While our application to provide these services via the Welcoming Communities initiative was not accepted, it does not mean that CBAL will take over the services we provide.

We are, however, disappointed that because our application was rejected, we will not be able to expand our services for refugees.

Thanks again to the Cranbrook Daily Townsman and the Kimberley Bulletin for the support you have shown us over the years in celebrating the arrival of new refugees to our communities and iin recognizing the settlement work carried out by our volunteers. And a huge thanks goes out to all our amazing volunteers for your hard work.

And, of course, it believed that the downtrodden Shia majority in Bahrain (who cannot even serve in their own country’s army and police) had been stirred up

by Shia-majority Iran across the Gulf. So when Bahrain’s king had still not got the pro-democracy protesters under control after an entire month, it sent its troops in.

This may not be what the king had in mind. It certainly wasn’t what Crown Prince Sheikh Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa intended: he was trying to negotiate with opposition parties about giving Shias a bigger role in the kingdom’s affairs. But Saudi Arabia didn’t want that kind of example right next-door, and it found hardline allies in the Bahraini royal family.

It may have played out somewhat like the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, when Moscow, determined to crush the reform movement there, got some second-rank Czech Communists to request military intervention. At any rate, hard-liners in the royal family have called the tune since then, while the king and the crown prince have effectively been sidelined.

And even if it gets a great deal worse in Bahrain, no Western government is going to condemn the country’s rulers. That would seriously annoy Saudi Arabia, and they will never do that.

Redmond recovering from skate cut C ANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG - Winnipeg Jets defenceman Zach Redmond is in good spirits at a Raleigh, N.C., hospital as he recovers from surgery to repair a skate cut to his right thigh.

The 24-year-old rookie suffered a gash to his right femoral artery and vein during a practice Thursday.

His family released a statement Monday

thanking the Jets training staff and players for their quick action.

The Redmonds say they saved his life.

Redmond was accidentally cut by a teammate’s skate during a drill.

He was taken to hospital where he underwent a three-hour surgery to repair the injury.

“We are eternally grateful for the quick response of the Winnipeg

Jets training and coaching staff as well as Zach’s teammates, who without reservation jumped to his aid, heroically took control of the situation and made sure Zach was given the proper care, in turn saving his life,” the family said in the statement. “Zach is currently in positive spirits, and getting the rest he needs while surrounded by family and friends in a Raleigh area hospital.”

The Kimberley Dynamiters and the Golden Rockets shake hands following a 4-3 OT win on Monday night that ended the playoff series between the two teams.

Rockets sweep Nitros with 4-3 OT win TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It took a trip to the extra frame for the Golden Rockets to complete a sweep of the Kimberley Dynamiters on Monday night, as Keith Wake scored five minutes into overtime to end the game and the series.

Kimberley jumped to an early lead and held it through the second frame, but a third period marker from the Rockets tied up the game at 3-3, which forced overtime.

Wake took a shot from the point that redirected off a few things on its way to the net, and the puck managed to sneak

by Nitro goaltender Jeremy Mousseau, who had a stellar game with 50 saves.

“Overall, it was a good game, but in the end, it wasn’t enough and that’s all that really matters right now,” said Mousseau.

It was a tough way to go out for the Nitros, especially since the team played well enough to win and, for the most part, stayed out of the penalty box—something they didn’t do in their last two games.

“They’re pretty upset so there’s not a lot you can say. I just told them they had a good game and that’s all you can say, because they did,” said Dynamiters head coach Glenn Burgess. “Fiveon-five, I thought, for most of the game, we outplayed them. As soon as we give them a power play, the game changes, but other than that, I thought they did what they needed to do to win.”

Before the game, Kimberley rearguard Isaac Schacher was honoured with the Eddie Mountain Division defenceman of the year award. Schacher signed with the Victoria Royals a week ago and will likely jump up to the WHL next season.

The Rockets didn’t waste any time at the opening face-off and scored 31 seconds into the game on an effort from Connor Beauchemin.

However, ten minutes later, Golden got into some penalty trouble and presented a fiveon-three opportunity for the Nitros, and Eric Buckley scored after he

took the puck off the sideboards and walked into the slot.

A few minutes later, the Dynamiters put pressure on Golden goaltender James Leonard, who lost his stick in the action. Nitro defenceman Tre Mason shot the puck on net, and the rebound went right to Jason Richter, who banged in the rebound.

It looked like the Rockets managed to tie up the game before the period ended, but the referee waved it off as the puck went in after the play was stopped.

Kimberley added to their lead in the second period, when Andrew Miller banked the puck off the boards and up the ice as Brandon Bogdanek busted out of the sin bin.

Bogdanek skated in on a breakaway and beat Leonard on the stickside for a 3-1 lead five minutes into the frame.

However, the Rockets managed to chip away at their deficit and respond by the time the buzzer went.

Mousseau made a huge save on an uncovered Golden player, but

the Nitros didn’t pick up Felix Larouche, who capitalized on a rebound at 2:22.

The Rockets’ deadly powerplay struck for the only time of the game in the third period, when Coltin Berard’s slap shot from the point beat Mousseau to tie everything up at 3-3.

Buckley was hauled down as he entered the offensive zone on a near breakaway, and was awarded with a penalty shot. The Nitro forward opted to try high on the glove side of Leonard, but the shot was turned away.

Things remained tied after 60 minutes, which sent the game into overtime. Five minutes into the extra frame, Wake had the puck at the point and threw an innocent-looking shot on net that was redirected on its way into the net.

Golden now plays the waiting game while the Fernie Ghostriders and the Columbia Valley Rockies scrap it out to earn a berth into the divisional final. The series is tied at 1-1, with both games requiring an overtime period.

Raptors fall 90-84 to Wizards, league’s worst road team C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Bradley Beal scored 20 points to lift the Washington Wizards to a 90-84 victory over Toronto on Monday night, handing the Raptors just their second loss in eight games.

DeMar DeRozan topped Toronto (23-34)

with 25 points, while Kyle Lowry added 18 on an ugly night for both teams. Amir Johnson grabbed a team-high 13 rebounds.

A.J. Price and Martell Webster added 12 points apiece for the Wizards (18-37), who have won seven of their

last nine games. Nene had 11 points and nine rebounds, while Emeka Okafor grabbed 13 rebounds to go with eight points.

The Raptors had been one of the hottest teams in the Eastern Conference in February, and began the

game four spots out of the eighth and final playoff spot.

But the positive vibes fizzled with Monday’s horrible performance that saw the team trailing 63-54 heading into the fourth quarter against the NBA’s worst road team (5-22).

Tom Brady will be a Patriot until he is 40 years old.

Brady agreed to a three-year contract extension with New England on Monday, a person familiar with the contract told The Associated Press. The extension is worth about $27 million and will free up nearly $15 million in salary cap room for the team, which has several

younger players it needs to re-sign or negotiate new deals with.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the extension has not been announced.

Sports Illustrated first reported the extension.

The 35-year-old twotime league MVP was signed through 2014, and has said he wants to play at least five more years.

A three-time Super Bowl champion, Brady will make far less in those three seasons than the going rate for star quarterbacks. Brady currently has a four-year, $72 million deal with $48 million guaranteed.

Drew Brees and Peyton Manning are the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks, at an average of $20 million and $18 million a year, respectively.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Express your thoughts clearly; otherwise, you could come off as being too sarcastic. Be careful. You can be sure that others have many different thoughts, and they might feel frustrated enough to wage war. Avoid that type of mess at all costs.

Tonight: Take a brisk walk.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your creativity emerges, which makes nearly anything possible.

Your friends and/or associates could be defiant, as confusion marks a situation. You also might feel hurt that someone has turned down an invitation.

Tonight: Do what feels right to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could head in a certain direction if you so choose, despite what is happening around you.

Certain circumstances could trigger you, but you don’t need to take action. It would be wiser to do nothing and come from a focused point of view. Tonight: Happy at home

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might try to clear up a situation, only to find that it has more complications than you originally thought. Unless you have strong conversational skills, the problem could worsen. You aren’t going to convince anyone of the rightness of your ways. Tonight: Hang out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Recognize what needs to happen in order to make a situation work. Your fiery personality could factor into your decision-making. How would you like to change the course that you’re presently on? Weigh the pros and cons first, then decide.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You know what you want, and you know what feels right. After engaging in a conversation in which you had thought everyone was on the same page, you might find out otherwise. The discussion might have caused some controversy. Tonight: Where your friends are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will assume a greater role in a project, and you’ll have your share of obstacles to jump.

Don’t get too tied up in a situation involving property or a domestic matter, as you could feel torn between two possibilities.

Be aware of your limitations.

Tonight: A must appearance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to someone at a distance. Excitement surrounds an

idea, but you might not know how to proceed. Just when you think you’ve reached a mutual understanding, you could discover otherwise. Avoid becoming a part of the problem.

Tonight: Hop on the computer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone might make an extra effort to get to know you.

Don’t assume that this person’s assertiveness will last forever.

You could discover that his or her decision is changing quickly.

Decide how you’d like to proceed. Tonight: Share today with a dear friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Allow others to do their thing.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 21-year-old female, quite independent, happy and full of life.

Last year I started dating “Luke,” age 26.

We hit it off great, and I fell in love. But two months ago, something changed.

Luke recently started a new company.

One day, he randomly decided he needed a break from our relationship to focus on his business. He made me promise to stay faithful. After three weeks, we started arguing. I found it stupid that I was supposed to remain faithful while he was out partying every weekend, going to bars and clubs. He kept texting my sister, saying he didn’t want to be with me. When I’d confront him, he’d say he was only kidding.

I tried hard to work this out. Two weeks ago, we planned to hang out, but Luke didn’t answer my calls. He never even bothered to cancel our plans. I finally had enough and sent him a text ending things completely.

Annie, the entire two months we were apart, I was a wreck. I still can’t stop thinking about him. I know I did the right thing by breaking it off. But sometimes, I am filled with regret, as if I wasn’t a good enough girlfriend. How can I be happy again without faking it? -- Lost in My Heart Dear Lost: This has nothing to do with your value as a girlfriend. Luke was simply not the right guy. He didn’t have the courage to break things off in an honest way and made himself repeatedly unavailable, hoping you’d take the initiative and let him go. It is natural for you to grieve the end of a relationship that you expected to last. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family, pamper yourself, and “fake it until you make it.” Time will heal this. We promise.

Dear Annie: I used to keep in touch with my grandchildren via e-mail, but lately, they have not been answering my letters. Their parents told me that teenagers prefer to “text” rather than e-mail.

In my technological ignorance, I thought texting was the same as e-mailing. Just what is texting? -- Technologically Impaired in New York Dear New York: Nearly every cellphone has a text function where you can send a typed message to someone else’s cellphone. On older models, you may need to check your owner’s manual to find out how to do this, and it can also require several keystrokes to get the right letters. But newer smartphones have an icon for messaging right on the screen and a keyboard that appears when you use the function, making texting simple and quick. And the parents are right -- most teens prefer it to emailing, although there is a cost involved. If you are interested in getting a new phone, please know that many companies offer tutorials to go with it.

Dear Annie: The letter from “Some Talk, Please” sounded like one I’ve been writing in my head for a decade. My husband of 20 years is also great around the house and with our kids, but he prefers groping to actual conversation and can’t understand why it doesn’t turn me on.

I’m sad that he feels rejected, but I work two jobs and help care for my parents. I’m too tired for sex at the drop of a hat. He also thinks that when our teenage kids have friends over, it’s a great time to escape to the bedroom. I consider that inappropriate. Can you shed any light on this? -- A Few Words Would Help Dear Few Words: Your husband is so focused on his own satisfaction that it apparently cuts off oxygen to his brain. You need to be very specific about what you want from him and offer “rewards” when he complies.

Behavior modification can be a very useful tool.

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in that order. Sixtytwo 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 AOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to find our about new products,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to receive information about companies,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.â&#x20AC;? 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 sitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.
