Polar Dreams: Liv Arnesen and Ann Bancroft
Just down the street from where I live is a children’s bookstore called the <I>Wild Rumpus</I>. Built into the purple exterior of the front door is a smaller door for children to use and a posted sign warning visitors not to let the cats out. This is the door I used on Sat, Oct. the 4th when I walked in and saw, directly to my right, polar adventurer Ann Bancroft kneeling on the floor, talking to the chicken kept in their front window.

Was Mrs. Claus A Feminist?
December Holiday Special! Mrs. Claus did it all. She had the incredible job of being in charge of a household on the North Pole filled with hundreds of elves. Plus, she kept Santa jolly and stuffed with food (not to mention all of the cleaning). While she did all her work, she did it with a smile. Does all of this make Mrs. Claus a feminist? You be the judge!

The PacNW Wine Regions’ Climatic Challenges and Benefits
There are isolated places in the hills and dales of the NW that have known vines for more than 100 years, and they are the exception rather than the rule. Phrases like “Black Freeze” were coined from the seasons that froze the vines back to their roots and successfully stunted the PacNW vinifera industry for most of the twentieth century. Like every climate, there are those pockets of agriculture which are sheltered or drained just right to avoid the climate’s extremes, but they are always the few. More often, grape growers turn to other means for dulling the edges of climate. It is no different in the Northwest, and happily, that stress brings out the best in the vines, the wines and the people who raise them.

A Look at the Provinces,Part XII:Northwest Territories & Nunavut
This is the twelfth and last article in the series. Since I've already written an article on Nunavut and it is hard to find information for the NWT and Nunavut separately I will combine them. The Former North West Territories is made up of the North West Territories and of Nunavut. It is made up of most of the artic, except Yukon and Alaska (and Greenland) and includes all islands in the Hudson's Bay. It has an area of 3,426,320 square kilometres and has a population of 57,649 people. The Capital was Yellownife and remains so for the NWT. Nunavut's Capital is Iqualuit (formerly known as Forbisher Bay). It joined confederation when bought by the Canadian government in 1870.
