Thirty years ago, the fourth reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine exploded, sending huge amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere. A cloud carried radioactive caesium, strontium and plutonium over Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and Europe, depositing the hazardous material over homes and fields in one of the worst nuclear accidents in history.
Chernobyl nuclear power station is located around 80 miles (130km) north of Kiev, Ukraine, and around 12 miles (12km) south of the Belarusian border. Construction on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant began in 1970.
The station itself consisted of four reactors which, combined, produced around 10 percent of Ukraine's electricity at the time of the accident. The reactors were of the RMBK-1000 design, a type of graphite-moderated reactor made by the-then Soviet Union.
Following the disaster in 1986, around 350,000 "liquidators" – made up of the army, plant staff, fire services and more – were initially involved in the clean-up operation after the accident, according to the World Health Organisation; around 240,000 of these workers received the highest radiation doses. The WHO further states that the number of registered liquidators later rose to 600,000.
The accident occurred during a test on the fourth reactor, which was conducted in order to find out whether the turbines could produce enough energy to keep the coolant pumps running if power was lost.
The accident released approximately 400 times more radioactive fallout than that of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima; Japan, in 1945, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Radioactive isotopes, such as caesium-137, iodine-131 and strontium-90, were released into the air. Belarus received 70% of the fallout from Chernobyl, which contaminated one fifth of the country's land used for agriculture.
Severe radiation poisoning had killed 28 Chernobyl workers within four months of the accident, according to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
There has also been a significant increase in cases of thyroid cancer among people who were children and adolescents living in the most contaminated areas of Belarus, Ukraine and Russia at the time of the accident, the World Health Organisation also states.
The evacuation of the town of Pripyat began on 27 April, by which time residents had already begun to complain of sickness and feeling unwell. No reports or details regarding the accident were released until the third day after the reactor exploded.

Travelers worldwide are drawn to Quito for its spectacular mountain setting, its colonial historical center, near-by adventure travel opportunities, international cuisine, and the gentle, generous Quiteño culture. The city is known for being home to some of the best Spanish schools in South America; there is a great backpacker community; and the area offers plenty of activities to help you escape the typical tourist crowds. Don't miss out on socializing with the locals, Quiteños tend to be relaxed, friendly and eager to make friends.
Planning a trip from Quito to other parts of Ecuador, or to neighboring South American countries, is also fairly easy – most Quito hotels, travel agencies and tour operators are found in La Mariscal sector are within a five-block radius of each other, and transportation by land and air is plentiful and generally inexpensive, depending on the time of year.
This rapidly growing capital city has a past that stretches back to before the Incas made Quito the second capital of their empire. It appears that only the mountains that cradle the city remain unchanged. The historic Old Town features colonial architecture the Spanish constructed over the charred remains of the Incan city. Just north of Old Town, towering concrete and glass structures show off the modern structures of the business and tourist center of the city.
Quito's Sectors
Divided into different neighborhoods (sectores), most tourists spend their time in La Mariscal, or the area north of Parque El Ejido and south of Avenida Orellana. The Centro Histórico, hosts a diverse and rich colonial history with some beautiful plazas, churches, museums, and pedestrian walkways. Other noteworthy neighborhoods include Guápulo, La Floresta and the North part of Quito. Quito was originally contained within the limits of what is now called the Centro Histórico. Today it is about 50 kilometers long from north to south (30 miles) and on average 8 kilometers (about five miles) wide east to west.
Neighborhoods in Quito: Near Quito, La Floresta, Pululahua Volcanic Crater, Plaza Foch, Northern Quito – the "New Town", Calderón, Checa, Mitad del Mundo, Guápulo, La Mariscal and San Marcos.

I had the privilege of meeting Michael W. Higgins in the classroom back in the spring of 1998, I had just returned to school as a part-time mature student and to be honest did not expect to do well. I had been out of university for about 5 years and was lacking in confidence. I took two courses that term, RS 209 Paul's Life and Letters with Peter Frick and RS100C Faith Quests with Michael W. Higgins. Both of these men are scholars, professional and men of devout faith. Both of these men have been involved internationally in scholarship and promoting specific area's of focus in their studies.
Yet here in this article I want to focus on Higgins, for the primary reason that he is leaving us. In almost every public lecture I have attended of Higgins since that first class he almost always quotes Donald Nicholl's article 'Scientia Cordis' an article about the science of the hart, and people who go on faith quests. Yet one of the quotes from that book can sum up Higgins for us. "Hence the characteristic medium of the scientia cordis is neither a principle nor a law but a story – a story that will move the heart." Donald Nicholl Beatitude of Truth p.161. Higgins is a man who open's up what ever he is teaching or talking about through story, and he always speaks so passionately that the audience is drawn in and captivated by his topic and talk.
Higgins who has a breadth of experience and role's to equal ten lesser men. CTV Vatican Correspondent, Toronto Star Columnist, a regular contributor to The Record. He has authored numerous scripts for the CBC's Idea's program former Editor of Grail: An Ecumenical Journal. As well as author of many books, Stalking the Holy, Power and Peril, Heretic Blood, The Jesuits… These and many more roles has he balanced while remaining an active member in his faith community, a public speaker, and husband and father. Last year he was named one of the "Top Ten" lecturer's in Ontario.
Currently Higgins is the President at St. Jerome's University's President and Vice-Chancellor, but he is leaving Waterloo to pursue the same rolls at St. Thomas University in Fredericton New Brunswick . The Maritimes gain is truly our loss. Waterloo is loosing a world class scholar, a man who served in and around his community and a person of character faith and integrity. So thus we must bid him fair well we will have no choice but to follow his future exploits from afar.

Christie, Looking to 2016, Proposes Social Security Overhaul
By Luciana Lopez and Scott Malone, Reuters
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Tuesday touched on one of the more controversial policy issues - reforming the Social Security program for retirees - as he sought to regain attention in a crowded Republican 2016 presidential election field.
Despite potential disapproval from some within his own party and voters leery of losing their benefits, Christie proposed an overhaul of the popular program in a speech in New Hampshire, an early primary state for presidential hopefuls.
Related: Rubio, His Eye on 2016, Vows a 'New American Century'
The governor, his stalled efforts at reforming the N.J. pension system notwithstanding, proposed Social Security "means-testing" that would reduce the size of benefits for people earning more than $80,000 annually and phase them out entirely for those earning $200,000 or more. "Do we really believe that the wealthiest Americans need to take from younger, hard working Americans to receive what, for most of them, is a modest monthly Social Security check?" Christie asked.
Previous efforts to reform Social Security in the United States have fallen flat, even as worries have increased that the program's trust fund could be depleted within decades.
While Christie is courting fiscal conservatives in his party, his proposals are sure to prove controversial. In his second term in the White House, President George W. Bush, brother of potential 2016 candidate Jeb Bush, proposed changing Social Security, which is funded through taxes on wages, to allow workers the option of shifting some of their contributions into private accounts. Bush's plan, which was never enacted, fell flat with many Americans, and many of his fellow Republicans distanced themselves from it.
In New Jersey, Christie's administration is appealing after losing in court to unions protesting his decision to strip $1.6 billion from the state's 2015 contribution into the New Jersey public employee retirement system. A similar lawsuit for the state's 2016 contribution has been filed.
Related: Rand Paul and GOP Gain As Clinton Loses Altitude
The blunt-spoken politician was seen only a few months ago as one of the top Republican contenders for the 2016 nomination. Christie, who has yet to decide whether he will seek the White House, has since been eclipsed by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.
Michael Tanner, senior fellow in social welfare policy at the Washington, D.C.-based Cato Institute, which advocates limited government, said Christie had few paths open in the campaign.
"He's got to try to find something else and this offers an avenue, and one that's kind of fitted to his personality," Tanner said. "Will it work, I have no idea. It's taking his strength and running with it."
This week's New Hampshire tour is seen as potentially pivotal for Christie. He will need to reassure donors and supporters about his viability as a candidate, despite questions about his temperament and a scandal known as "Bridgegate" involving a massive traffic jam that prosecutors are investigating as possibly politically motivated.

Christie's speech proposed other policy changes, such as raising the age when people can get Social Security benefits, eliminating payroll taxes for those who continue to work beyond age 62 and changing the way the Medicaid health program for the poor is funded.
He also proposed changes for the Social Security disability trust fund, including speeding up disability eligibility determination and the time in which the temporarily disabled must return to work.
Some in the crowd agreed with Christie that reforms were needed. "I thought it sounded very pragmatic and realistic in a lot of ways," said Tom Murphy, a 63-year-old self-employed graphic designer from Manchester.
Jim Headd, a 74-year-old former Republican state representative from Auburn, said a gradual change in the age of Social Security eligibility appealed to him. "It seems very logical to me, better than the shock treatment," Headd said.

If a hot pink cuckoo clock makes you smile, how about mixing your rooms with a little blast of hot pink this spring?
When it comes to decorating, do you ever ask yourself, "What was I thinking?" I seem to be asking myself that question a lot lately. And sometimes, the solution is a plain and simple slipcover.
Oakland is in the fog today. That gray would be a pretty inside wall color but it's a dreary outside color for a Sunday. Time to liven things up by playing my little mind game of putting a whole house "together" using Pinterest.
50 DecorBook Ideas : 3. Too Many Mirrors?
What kind of person has 17 mirrors hanging in their house? I just took a count and that doesn't include the ones over the bathroom sinks. How many mirrors are too many? Maybe a good rule of thumb is one mirror in most rooms but I seem to sneak more in wherever I can.


I have been a keen user of Drupal 7 since it first appeared, and before that Drupal 6, but have never made contributions to the project. I had been looking forward to Drupal 8 though with some trepidation because of the major technology changes and increasing complication, brought home to me when trying alpha then beta versions. I guess I would have persevered but for my discovery of Backdrop. In recent weeks I have become very enthusiastic about Backdrop; its aims correspond to my needs for something for small and medium websites, with significant improvements over Drupal 7. Thank you Jen and Nate and others for this great initiative - I am resolved to help.
One of my most satisfying achievements in recent weeks is the porting of the CKEditor module from Drupal 7 to Backdrop, and here I am just now using it in earnest! I have had some puzzling moments but, putting a question on the official CKEditor help page who should reply but none other than Wiktor Walc, maintainer of the Drupal module, and very soon he identified the problem and provided the solution. Then another problem was reported and Nate stepped in with the answer. Thank you guys, your teamwork is first-rate.
I have also produced ports of the OAuth and Twitter modules, my aim being to get to a happy situation where adding a post or page to a Backdrop site will automatically generate a tweet on Twitter. This is something I have in use on a Drupal 7 site by using these modules together with Rules. So my next target is to achieve a port of Rules but I see that this module makes extensive use of entities provided by the Drupal Entities API module. So now I must learn about entities, what they are in Drupal 7 and what the changes are for Backdrop. How can I possibly get my head around all this? Watch this space.

Students Will Share Their Knowledge of Manitoba.
Posted About Five Years Ago by Joe McCormick
Red River Heritage Fair
The annual Heritage Fair is taking place tomorrow at McIsaac School. One of the organizers Susanne Westhaver says students from Ruth Betts and McIsaac Schools develop projects on something that interests them about Manitoba history and the day is divided into four sections. She explains they will spend one of the sections in the gym presenting their projects to a judge and being adjudicated on that. They will spend two sections doing various workshops in areas that interest them so they have beading and bannock making, the Seven Teachings, the RCMP are going to do a session, they have a Metis culture and music session, CFAR Radio is doing a session, they have a session with hoop dancing and one on winter survival. She says in the last section of the day the students are in the gym with their projects to present to the rest of the school.
Westhaver adds from 4 to 5 the Heritage Fair is open to the public with awards presented at 5:30. The top 14 projects go on to the Red River Heritage Fair in Winnipeg on May 4th.
The History of the RCMP will be Shared With Students Tomorrow.
The Manitoba Government has declared February 1st Royal Canadian Mounted Police Day in Manitoba. Flin Flon RCMP Sergeant Mark Svaren says they'll use the day as a teaching opportunity. He says they have been invited to take part in the Heritage Fair at Ecole McIsaac School tomorrow and they're going to take that opportunity to educate our younger citizens there at the school on the history of the RCMP, everything from their beginnings in the march west up until today.
On February 1st 1920 our newly formed national police force formed by merging the North-West Mounted Police with the Dominion Police of Eastern Canada was officially named the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Semester Change is Underway for Hapnot Students.

Children Around the World are Receiving Your Gifts.
Operation Christmas Child reports Canadians invested time and money to pack over 664 thousand shoe boxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies and many other things during their 2016 shoe box campaign.

A Creighton Group Needs Your Support.
The Creighton Branch of the Saskatchewan Fish and Wildlife Federation is holding their annual banquet next Saturday, January 28th in the Creighton Community Hall. The group's Kevin Rose says it's an important fund raiser explaining they are a non-profit fishing and hunting organization since 1961 with a focus on firearm safety. He says the majority of the fund raising they do goes toward the upkeep and regulatory rules for their rifle range on the Hanson Lake road, adding a couple of years ago they were closed down because of these new regulations and that almost emptied the bank account. Rose adds other ranges in Saskatchewan have had to pay tens of thousands to get their ranges to code and he foresees the next government inspection for them to be the same so without the support of the community they could one day lose this rifle range.
The evening will include a catered supper, cash bar, penny parade, raffles, trophies for hunting and fishing and a dance. Tickets are 45 dollars for adults and 15 for children under 12 and are available at Di's Confectionary, Ginnell Bauman and Watt or any club executive member.

Director of Corporate Communications Scott Brubacher says they are looking at how to keep the Flin Flon Zinc Plant operating and save jobs.

He says the fact is it's just to early to say exactly what will happen or this or that will definitely happen as they're at the beginning of the process so Hudbay will keep people informed about things as they move along and whenever there's something to announce they're committed to announcing it.
Brubacher says they have formed teams to look at ways to increase zinc volumes and cost reductions that could lead to a positive outcome.

Hudbay Has Released its Production Guidance With its Capital and Exploration Expenditure Forecast for This Year.
Triple Seven
Hudbay reports copper, zinc and precious metals production last year met or exceeded guidance ranges in both Manitoba and Peru. This was due mainly to a full year of commercial production at the Constancia Mine in Peru and the ongoing ramp up of Lalor production near Snow Lake. In 2017 production of zinc contained in concentrate is forecast to increase approximately 25 percent reflecting the continued ramp up of Lalor ore production and the re-sequencing of the mine plan at Triple Seven in Flin Flon. Copper and precious metal production is expected to decline due to lower copper grades at Constancia and reduced mining rates and lower copper grades at Triple Seven.
Manitoba growth capital of 40 million dollars is allocated to the construction of a new paste backfill plant for the Lalor mine. Exploration spending of 10 million dollars is conservatively budgeted for this year but additional funds may be committed to high priority drilling targets. As well their anticipated zinc concentrate production from the Manitoba Business Unit this year is expected to result in full utilization of the Flin Flon zinc plant's processing capacity with some zinc concentrate planned for sale to third parties.

Winter May Affect Your Moods.
Some may call it the winter blues but it's also called Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. That's when the changes in the seasons can impact our moods and trigger periods of depression. Dr. Wallbridge Hall, Director of Psychological Services at the University of Manitoba explains how SAD is different from typical depression. He says basically it's the same symptoms as depression you would normally get except where they have identified that there's a pattern to the symptoms that occur seasonally so for most people that would be an increase in depression symptoms in the fall and winter.
If the symptoms improve during the spring and summer, there's a good chance it's Seasonal Affective Disorder. The disorder is treatable with a variety of therapies such as medication, psychotherapy or light therapy.

The principal of a high school in a remote northern Saskatchewan community where a deadly shooting took place is speaking about how students and staff are coping nearly year later. Greg Hatch of La Loche high school says people are still feeling traumatized. He says they have students who are absent, they have staff that are absent, students are struggling in school and he's sure that there are many areas within the building that are very difficult for students and staff to be in starting from walking in the door every day.
A teenager who was 17 at the time pleaded guilty in October to two counts of first degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder.
A New Recycling Program is Catching on in Denare Beach.
The Village of Denare Beach started a recycling pick up program on December 27th. Assistant Administrator Meredith Norman says it is working well. She explains every Tuesday morning people are to leave their recycling in a blue or clear bag on their curb by where their garbage would be picked up and they don't have to sort anything, everything can go in one bag and they've sent out a list of what's recyclable and what isn't in their newsletter and they've put that in with the water bills. She adds they had their second pick up and they've doubled in recycling bags that they've picked up so they think it's going really well.
You can find more information in their newsletter printed on their website www.denarebeach.net . Recycling fees are billed on the quarterly utility bills at 30 dollars per individual or 60 dollars per couple or family per year.
You Have One More Chance to Help Save the Trout Festival.
The Flin Flon Trout Festival Committee is holding an emergency meeting Thursday night. Festival Vice-President Melissa Richard says the meeting will determine if there is enough interest to continue holding the Festival beyond this summer's event. She says they are desperately in need of some executive members as they're down to two and they really need some help and some volunteers, just some more people to step up to help the Trout Festival to keep on running. Richard adds if this continues and they don't get any more volunteers, executive or members this would probably be one of the last Trout Festivals we'll have.
The meeting is being held Thursday night at 7 at the Victoria Inn. Anyone who can help out or has an idea for a new event including as a fund raiser for your group is urged to attend the meeting or contact Anita at 271-0153 or Melissa at 271-2705.
Recycling Has Gone Down a Bit.
The year end totals are in for last year at the Flin Flon Recycling Center. Administrator Deb Odegaard says numbers were down but it was still a successful year. She explains they actually dropped by 18 tonnes compared to 2015 as they were at 442 tonnes and the year previously they'd been at 460. She says it's not all bad news because the commingle which is the material that comes out of homes was actually up by over 11 metric tons so they're really excited to see more people recycling in their homes and they've seen that over Christmas as they've had an awful lot of material come in over the past two weeks.
For information on recycling you can contact the Recycling Center at 204-687-6169 or visit their website www.flinflonrecycling.org.
A Drill Program Continues to Show Good Results near Snow Lake.
Rockcliff Copper Corporation has reported additional drill hole assay and geophysical drill hole results from its ongoing exploration program on the Talbot property. This property forms part of their Snow Lake Project in the Snow Lake Mining Camp.
A recently completed drill hole intersected the high grade mineralization of the Talbot deposit main lens with 5.3 meters grading 3.9 percent copper equivalent with 2 percent copper, 1.94 grams per tonne gold, .32 percent zinc and 20.03 grams per tonne silver. They report the survey results identified a new drill target that represents one of the largest undrilled conductive plates yet discovered on the property below the existing Talbot deposit north lens mineralization measuring 300 by 600 meters.
President Ken Lapierre says this discovery is a real testament to the significant upside potential of this property and their phase two drill program will continue immediately focusing on the discovery of additional mineralized lenses proximal to the Talbot deposit.
Your Opinion on Libraries is Important.
A provincial survey has been posted on the Flin Flon Public Library website. Administrator Cindy McLean says local opinions are important in the survey as the province looks at making changes to libraries and libraries look for a much needed funding increase. She explains the premise of the survey is to determine how often patrons are visiting the library, their experience when they come to the library, what services they're using, so its very important for public library services to establish what products are being used at the library and how the public is actually accessing the library. She says the data will be used to determine some changes as the Minister is reviewing all public libraries so they're hoping for a lot of positive changes.
You can fill out a short or longer survey by going to their website www.flinflonpubliclibrary.ca. Click on websites and then counting opinions.
Traffic Fatalities Were Part of the Holiday Season.
Manitoba RCMP report during their month long Holiday Checkstop Program 11,781 vehicles were checked during 250 checkstops. During checkstops and regular patrols they charged 122 people with a criminal code impaired driving offence including impaired, over .08, refusal and impaired by a drug. There were 37 other criminal code driving offences, 60 alcohol and drug related tiered administrative suspensions and 2633 other highway traffic act offences the most common being speeding and failing to stop at an intersection.
They also report six people lost their lives in traffic related collisions which includes four snowmobile collisions during the checkstop season. Three of the six collisions reported are suspected to involve driver impairment.
You Can Apply for Grants for Your Group or Organization.
The Northern Neighbors Foundation is accepting applications for the Moffat Foundation funds that they receive each year. This year they will have 55 thousand dollars to grant in their communities that include Flin Flon, Creighton, Denare Beach, Snow Lake, Sherridon and Cranberry Portage. Their Chairperson Jane Robillard explains there are applications online at Northern Neighbors Foundation and also the grant applications and grant guidelines are at our public library. She adds grants are made to non-profit organizations that have a registered charitable number so it's non-profit and it's for organizations that demonstrate a strong and committed responsibility to the community.
The deadline for applications is March 15th.
A Lot of People Got Home Safely Over the Holiday Season.
Operation Red Nose has wrapped up another holiday season of getting people and their vehicles home safely. The Rotary Club's Committee Chair Ted Hewitt says the program again was a success. He says this year in their November December season they provided a total of 284 rides, their most successful campaign for at least the past five years as prior to that he doesn't have any statistics. He says they had 146 individuals who volunteered their time and the Rotary Club would like to thank all those who donated their time to this worthwhile endeavor noting those who used their service appreciated getting themselves and their vehicles home safely.
Hewitt says even though the service was free, riders donated close to five thousand dollars and with other Operation Red Nose fund raising efforts they expect to raise at least 13 thousand dollars. He adds the money stays in the community and in the past they have supported most of the parks, a new soccer field, the skateboard park, Camp Whitney as well as most of the groups that provide sports for children.
An Overdose Reversal Kit is Available in Flin Flon.
Those at risk of an opioid overdose now have access to naloxone kits and other supports across Manitoba including Flin Flon.
Naloxone is a medication used to reverse the side effects of opioid overdoses and is most efficient in preventing overdose deaths if administered within minutes of an overdose. However Health Minister Kelvin Goertzen stressed that naloxone does not eliminate the risks associated with drug use especially in the case when powerful opioids like fentanyl and carfentanyl are used
Individuals who request a take home naloxone kit will receive training on overdose recognition and how to use the kit. They will also be able to access information on addiction and harm reduction services. In Flin Flon you can drop in or call to make an appointment at the Primary Health Care Centre at 1 North Avenue between 8:30 and 4:30 or call 204-687-1350.
Bylaw Readings Dominated Tuesday Nights Flin Flon City Council Meeting.
At the meeting Council passed on final reading a bylaw that requires the clear marking of civic addresses. This was requested by emergency services to make it easier to find homes in emergencies as many homes don't have numbers on them. The bylaw was amended to require numbers that are at least four inches high.
Council also passed on final reading a bylaw to adopt the provisions of the Manitoba Emergency Measures Act and approve and adopt the updated Flin Flon Emergency Plan.
Council passed on first reading an amendment to the Traffic bylaw that affects mainly parking tickets. Instead of going to court to challenge your ticket the change allows you to go to a hearing with an adjudication officer. Administrator Mark Kolt noted the change was made by the province since the court system was not really set up to handle such small amounts. He said very few tickets are challenged and in the past those have been resolved before going to court. The bylaw requires two more readings.
And Councilor Guy Rideout gave advance notice of a bylaw change coming up that will prevent the long term storage of vehicles, trailers, campers, boats and similar items on the street. He says the main concern is for snow removal so the proposed bylaw would be in effect from October to April.
City Council Say They Are Moving Forward With Issues Affecting the Community.
At last night's Flin Flon City Council meeting Deputy Mayor Colleen McKee responded to presentations made at the last council meeting on annexation of cottage areas and economic development. She explained regarding cottage areas they are trying to engage the province as the legal representatives of the area through a resolution approved by the Association of Manitoba Municipalities and will let that process take its course. She says that resolution gives them a stronger voice as it comes from a large group of communities dealing with similar issues. Regarding economic development McKee says they have a three community committee to look at the process and have hired a Regional Economic Development Officer to assist them in moving forward, they are working on the Clean and Green Plan for the community and they are supporting groups, organizations and businesses that are also helping the community move forward and continue to invest in Flin Flon's unique way of life.
McKee added they are also asking people who are planning to make a presentation at a Council meeting to have a copy submitted by the Thursday before the meeting which will give them a chance to review and have a better understanding of the issue and try to have answers available at the meeting.
It Was a Busy New Years Eve.
Operation Red Nose completed its final night of getting people and their vehicles home safely New Years Eve. The Rotary Club's Committee Chair Ted Hewitt says they were very busy after midnight. He says they provided a total of 40 rides giving a year to date total of 284 and this number is more than a hundred over last year. He adds they had a total of 20 volunteers from throughout the community to provide the service and lunch for the volunteers was provided by the Victorian Inn which was very much appreciated.
We'll wrap up the full season of Operation Red Nose on tomorrow's news.
Flin Flon Has a New Years Baby.
The first baby born at the Flin Flon General Hospital in 2017 waited until last night to arrive. The baby boy Rowen Beatty was born at 10:44 last night weighing 3914 grams or 8 pounds 10 ounces. He is from Deschambault, Saskatchewan.
You Can Stay Active Through the Winter.
The Flin Flon Inner Wheel and Flin Flon Parks and Recreation are offering Walk in the Right Direction starting next Monday. Recreation Director Caitlin Bailey says it's a chance for those 50 plus to be active with a drop in fee of only two dollars. She says this program is going to offer a chance to be social and stay active with the cold weather outside, so they're offering an instructor led walking and stretching with music, kind of a space where everybody gets together indoors to do some physical activity.
The deadline to register is Friday with walking taking place on most Mondays and Wednesdays from now through mid-April. To register or if you have any questions contact the Recreation Office at 204-681-7542.
A Lot of Children Received Gifts With Your Help.
The Christmas Gift Program run by the Flin Flon Friendship Center went well again this year. The program allows parents to give their children a gift at Christmas when circumstances prevent them from doing so. The Center's Program Events Coordinator Jeremiah Herrmann says donations and gift pick up made things very busy this year. He says the numbers were up and they ended up accommodating 162 families and it turned out to be 476 children so that is actually an increase of 21 families and 97 children this year.
This was the 23rd year for the Christmas Gift Program.
Drilling Continues After a Christmas Break.
Callinex Mines will continue drilling on their Pine Bay property near Flin Flon. They have completed drilling and sent out samples for assays from one hole. This hole tested the adjacent Pine Bay VMS horizon which is located to the northwest of the Cabin Zone VMS horizon that hosts their new discovery. The Company expects assays back from this hole within two weeks and may complete additional drilling along the Pine Bay VMS horizon to further assess its potential. Additionally Callinex has been drilling two holes to test the down dip extension of the new discovery. These two drill rigs had been temporarily placed on hold over the holiday season with drilling expected to resume Thursday.
Callinex reports a cash position of approximately 10 million dollars and President Max Porterfield says as drilling resumes in the new year they will continue to be prudent with their treasury in order to achieve their goal to discover and develop economic VMS deposits.


These 5 Pieces of Cheer are an extension of the Pieces of Reality series. The these Pieces of Cheer are loose abstracts held together with form, tone, and line. These pieces are made with with acrylics, graphite, and rose gold. Each piece comes sealed and framed in a glass floater frame with a black rim. Each piece may be hung or stood up with the kickstand included.
These pieces work great in series on the wall, or scattered through a room on a coffee table, night stand, or desk. These pieces add a pop of sparkle and form to a room. I love these loose pieces as they are so cheerful and still elegant. Each piece sold separately.


Is there anything more fragrantly uplifting than a cup of Earl Grey tea? With a high bergamot content, this Ceylon-based tea brews up to be a beautifully aromatic cup of tea.
What Makes this Tea so Amazing: I'm not going to lie - I'm pretty proud of this blend. I hand-infuse this tea in small batches using a beautiful Ceylon estate black tea and a certified organic bergamot essential oil. The bergamot oil is pretty spectacular if I say so myself. Instead of being steam distilled, the oil is expressed using pressure and no heat. This means that all of the delicate citrus and floral notes are retained, resulting in a more complex and beautiful scent (and taste).
Ingredients: Ceylon black tea (Camellia sinensis)*†, Bergamot essential oil*.

Garbiñe Muguruza joins Fernando Domínguez-López to talk about her much awaited win at the Miami Open on Fox and Friends.
Garbiñe says her life is going to be amazing. "I have to enjoy it, it's the first major victory for myself and now I know I'm on top of the world."
She says her mom and dad have been very supportive in her career, especially with her brother. "I couldn't make it without them, they're the reason I'm here."
The "new" Muguruza is a different player. "My life has completely changed. I was just 17. Now I'm 22, world number five, so it's crazy!"
She's trying to get ahead of the game and understand herself better by using an app called EEG or electroencephalography.
Garbiñe says all the players are guilty of the same but they're not in the same bad positions that they were a year ago.
She's looking to have fun, but her ultimate goal is to win multiple grand slams.
She says Miami was a very tough tournament but the most rewarding victory she had.
Garbiñe would like to say thank you to the FOX & Friends team and to everyone who voted for her!
