Acreage West of town - Edgewater Developments 347 9660, edgeh2o@telus.net December 22, 2006 PIONEER CLASSIFIEDS OBITUARY Hubert Alexander Statham 1918 - 2006 Hube was born in Vidora, Saskatchewan, on February 10, 1918. His parents, Archibald George (Alec) and Gladys Statham, arrived in Saskatchewan from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England in 1917. Hube was the oldest of four children. In 1936, when Hube was 18, he headed west with his friend Tony Staberg. He said “Tony wanted to see some country, and I wanted to go with him.” They brought with them a team of horses, some machinery, and some potatoes to use for seed. When they go to the Columbia Valley, they leased the Hurst Ranch north of Wilmer (Hidden Valley Ranch). They farmed and grew hay on this property for 3 years, always bringing a third of the hay into Wilmer for Mrs. Knudson. This paid the rent. Hube’s parents moved to the Valley in 1937 and bought the Rayson Place in Wilmer. In 1940 Hube joined up for WWII and went overseas. When he returned to the Valley in 1945 he bought the farm next to his parents land which was the Beaver Turnor Place. On October 26, 1946, Hube married Eleanor Ede from Windermere. They lived in Athalmer until their home on the Wilmer property could be built. Here they raised two sons and began a lifetime pasison of cattle ranching. Hube took over the brand inspectors job in 1960 and did this job, as well as ranching, until he retired in 1983. He was a member of the Wilmer Water Works for many years, and was president of the Farmers Institute. Hube and Eleanor raised Hereford and Hereford-cross cattle in the Columbia Valley for 70 years. Hube was a proud family man who always had a witty remark and a smile on his face. He leaves to mourn his wife of 60 years, Eleanor, two sons David (sue), Wayne (Sandy); seven grandchildren, Cody, Sheri, Dawson, Julie, Jason, LynnAnn, and Nathan; seven great-grandchildren, Vanessa, Brayson, Kenda, Kellan, Carter, Ava, and Naomi. Hube passed away in Invermere, BC, December 13, 2006 with his family at his side. A service was held Saturday, December 16, 2006, at the Invermere Legion.

December 22, 2006 Looks like Christmas By Lisa M. Rohrick Special to Th e Pioneer Th is morning I was at the market stocking up on fresh fruits and vegetables. As I was deciding how many carrots I needed, I was distracted by the ring of a nearby cell phone. Its song was a poor quality, synthetic version of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”! I smiled as I looked over at a sharply dressed man in an African robe answering his phone. I’m sure the song meant nothing at all to him, other than it possibly being a melody he likes. But it brought a lot of thoughts rushing into my head. I carried on through the market realizing that Christmas is only a few days away. I saw no evidence of Christmas in the hustle and bustle of the market. I live in a country where Christmas isn’t celebrated. Yes, it is a national holiday, but I’m pretty sure that’s just a leftover from the days when Niger was a colony of France. Th is will be my seventh Christmas in Africa. Celebrating without all the trappings of Christmas is growing on me. No turkey. No decorated shopping malls featuring visits with Santa (no shopping malls at all for that matter, with or without decorations!). No snow. No Christmas lights. No Christmas banquets. No manger scene at the local church. will be Christmas Day.” I was going to say that there is noth- The Columbia Valley Pioneer • 29 PIONEER CLASSIFIEDS MISC.

CAREERS We are looking for lumber yard and store staff who are energetic, ing here that is the least bit Christmaslike. But I had to delete that line. Because there’s a lot here that I’m sure was like the fi rst Christmas 2000 years ago. Last week I was visiting in a rural village. Women coming from the well, balancing buckets of water on their heads (and rarely spilling a drop). Men taking a break from repairing their mud brick walls to share a pot of strong, sweet tea. Girls pounding millet into fl our with which to prepare the evening meal. Babies crying. Little boys running around with cars made from sticks. Sheep and goats lazed in the shade of a big tree. Chickens strutted across sandy paths between huts. A donkey brayed. If we were to add a bunch of visitors coming for a census, I think the village would closely resemble the scene in Bethlehem that fi rst Christmas. As I sat enjoying my friends’ company, a young woman with a newborn baby on her back came over to join us. She sat down beside me and handed me the wee tyke, wrapped in a thin cotton cloth. Is that what the old King James Version of the Bible meant by the “swaddling clothes” in which the virgin Mary wrapped the infant Jesus? I held that precious little one in my arms, swishing fl ies away from his face. Yes, that tiny child was nice and clean, but the same sure couldn’t be said for the older children running by.

Soon enough that little baby will be playing in the same sand where sheep and goats relieve themselves. Soon enough his little tummy will be losing battles to worms and infections. Jesus was born into similar poverty. He was God himself, and he left a home so beautiful that we can’t even imagine it. And he was born in a stable into a poor family. Why did he do it?

And to make the way available for us to get to God, because none of us can get there on our own. Th at’s what Christmas is all about. And that’s why I’m in Niger, to share the good news of God’s Christmas gift to the world. And as I look around me on the dusty streets and hear a donkey braying next door, I have to conclude that it really is looking “a lot like Christmas” around here!
