Heritage in the Hat: The oldest house
By Medicine Hat News on December 29th, 2018
“Which is the oldest house in Medicine Hat?” When asked that question, I had to admit that I didn’t know but would try to find out. Not to make the task too difficult, the house should be extant (surviving), the term used in conservation work. The town began next to the rail line and expanded ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!By the Way: Happy Christmastide, friends
By Medicine Hat News on December 29th, 2018
For many years after my siblings and I were grown, our family Christmas gatherings were leisurely affairs. It was only once everyone was awake, had breakfast, and our coffees were topped up that we gathered around the tree and exchanged gifts. We opened them one by one in turns, so everyone could fully appreciate the ... Read More »

I have seen more than 8,000 clients over the years that I have been in Medicine Hat. The other day I was thinking about what I would tell every single one of them if I was only allowed one nugget of wisdom to share. After a few minutes of deep thought, I decided that the ... Read More »

By Medicine Hat News on December 22nd, 2018
Market corrections, even modest ones, will bring out the doomsday agents. But as headlines roil the markets, it’s important to note that the stumbles we’ve experienced recently are not the result of a weak economic outlook, and are at least partly attributable to the tightening monetary policies of central banks around the world. Most of ... Read More »

By Medicine Hat News on December 22nd, 2018
CHLOE CHAPDELAINE Special to the News My grandparents were in town for the weekend, which meant I pushed my plans aside to be their personal deluxe chauffeur.

By Medicine Hat News on December 22nd, 2018
I heard it has been snowing a ton in the mountains. Do you know what that means, especially when the Holiday Break is here? Skiing of course! I’m not a great skier, I will be the first to admit that, but I am truly a good sport and strap on those skis and head downhill. ... Read More »

By Medicine Hat News on December 22nd, 2018
I had a striking visual of light in darkness early one morning this week. A bright light, probably the planet Venus, shone with extraordinary clarity, and pierced an otherwise black sky. Given my Christian faith, and the time of year — less than a week until Christmas — my thoughts turned to the legendary Star ... Read More »

By Medicine Hat News on December 22nd, 2018
Two thousand years ago the world was not a lot different. Empires fought wars with spears and swords, not armoured tanks and laser guided bombs. Rich folks measured their wealth by how many slaves they owned, not by their yachts and private jets. But a lot of things are still the same. Two thousand years ... Read More »

By Medicine Hat News on December 21st, 2018
There are only a few sleeps to go until Dec. 25. Many of us have areas in our homes that are infiltrated with shiny packages holding large-screen televisions, new clothing and books that we will be giving to others. One last grocery shopping trip will secure the ingredients for the extensive menu that could feed ... Read More »
