After completing her husband’s hearing test, I plugged the results into a hearing simulator and had the wife listen to a recorded story.

She apologized immediately and promised to be more understanding.

It’s hard to fully grasp how challenging a change in hearing sensitivity can be.

But unlike other conditions, often something can be done about it. Don’t just put up with the frustration; see a hearing professional.

Just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

When it comes to changes in hearing sensitivity, the problem is invisible, but the effects are very real.

For those whose hearing has changed, as well as their loved ones’, it’s often that “invisibility” that causes a lot of the frustration. Without a wheelchair, white cane or other visual reminder to draw attention to their challenges, it’s easy for others to forget the condition exists.

Salmon catches at Painters Lodge have James Thornton with a 7 pound spring, Raymond Phillips 13.3 pound Joe Paller, spring and Kerry Williams’s avid trout fisherman 20.6 pound spring.

The ladies have a 3 day fishing derby at Painters Lodge in early June and the action is fast and furious. Last year more than 2100 pounds of fish were caught at the derby.

For some big trout try Reginald Lake in early morning or late evening, Fish 2 to 3 pounds are coming and a few 4 pounders have been hooked.

Roberts Lake fishes well if your going deep using plugs or willow leaf.

Q. If baseball ever expands all the way to the Lunar Leagues, what will “moonball” be like?

A. Physicist Peter J. Brancazio, author of “Sport Science,” imagines games played inside huge atmospheric bubble domes, to make up for the moon’s lack of air.

This way, air pressure will be the same as back in San Francisco or Tokyo, same old laws of physics, except that gravity here is about one-sixth of Earth’s. So naturally you need a much bigger ballpark because routine fly balls now travel 900-1,200 feet instead of 300, and home-run fences must be 1,300-1,800 feet from home plate.

Bats on the moon feel light as a feather, 5 ounces instead of 30, but swing heavy.

This is because though gravity is less, mass and inertia remain the same.

Here comes the pitch... same old 90-mph fastball but dropping only 4-5 inches enroute to the hitter instead of the 2 1/2 feet Earthside.

In moonball, a backspinning “heater” will scoop the air and actually rise back up in the curve of a bow, as if

Bill and Rich Sones Strange But True

defying gravity.

Balls now weigh about an ounce instead of five, so air pressure has an exaggerated effect, making for some wicked pitches.

But when hitters do connect, the ball will sail three to four times as far and five times as high, staying aloft for 30 seconds! This will keep outfielders on their toes, with routine shagdowns of 500 feet or more and 15-foot leaps at the wall (timing must be exquisite).

A good throwing arm will send a ball a quarter mile on the fly, but because the ball travels no faster than on Earth, runners can tag up on long flyouts and score all the way from first.

Infield popups that are dropped become--you guessed it--four-base errors.

Some advice to fans: Don’t forget your binoculars.

Q. Why do umpires use hand signals for “Strike!” “Safe!” and “Yerr Out!” Is it to

accommodate those poor suckers in the nosebleed seats who sit so far away that they have trouble following the game?

A. Nope. Not even close. The person who had trouble following the game was William Hoy, the first deaf player in the majors, in 1892. It was he who invented the now classic signs.

Q. If somebody puts a voodoo curse on you, might it kill you?

A. If you think it might, it might.

In “Essentials of Psychology, Exploration and Application, 6th Ed.,” Dennis Coon tells of a terrified young woman admitted to a hospital because she believed she was going to die. A midwife had predicted that the woman’s two sisters would die on their 16th and 21st birthdays, and that the woman herself would die on her 23rd birthday.

Her sisters had died as predicted, and now it was three days before her 23rd birthday.

Then the following day the woman was indeed found dead in her hospital bed, “an apparent victim of her

own terror.”

There are other cases of people dying of fright, such as soldiers in particularly savage battles, or of people being stricken at very emotional times, such as Louis Armstrong’s widow suffering a heart attack during a memorial concert for her husband just as the final chord of “St. Louis Blues” was played.

Such victims may die in one of two ways, says Coon: Physiologically, the intense arousal causes a sharp rise in blood sugar, the heart beats faster, digestion slows or stops, blood flow to the skin is reduced. These “fightor-flight” reactions generally increase the chances of survival in an emergency, but in an older person or someone in bad health, they can kill.

And if the initial emotion doesn’t prove fatal, “parasympathetic rebound” might: Following heightened arousal, the body works to calm all the accelerated processes and, in doing so, may go too far: Even in a young, vigorous person, the counterslowdown may actually stop the heart.

Q. Who can say why “fools” fall in love.

But who they’ll fall for is another matter. In what ways are Cupid’s arrows more like guided missiles?

A. Going by love studies, says David M. Buss in “The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating,” people almost always wind up marrying someone who lives within a short car ride of their home, is of the same race (99 percent), same religion (75 percent), and similar degree of attractiveness (unless one of the partners “trades” extreme good looks for money).

Nonsmokers usually pair up with nonsmokers.

Those who are argumentative and outgoing usually marry someone similarly argumentative and outgoing.

Romancers also tend to match up based on age (within 3-4 years), height (talls marry talls, with the male a fairly predictable four to six inches taller), politics, health and socioeconomic status.

Witness Blanket: Weaving pieces of history Pirjo Raits Black Press To speak of things that happened in residential schools only brings them back into focus and many who were sent to these places rarely talk about their experiences. Hearing his father’s stories for the first time affected Carey Newman in a very different way.

His father Victor had always protected his children from the reality that was residential school and only told the funny stories. But when the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada held a community event in Victoria, Victor finally opened the door into his past.

“One of the things that seemed to touch him was when he started to talk about when he was first taken and they shaved off

his hair,” said Carey.

It was, in many ways, “taking the Indian out of the child.”

The emerging stories deeply affected the younger Newman and led to the idea of a project where reconciliation was the theme. Both Newmans are well-known Kwagiulth artists and master carvers with a wide body of private and public work.

“I thought of a blanket and I realized it should include the idea of reconciliation, parts of buildings, parts of churches, government buildings and other related structures,” said Newman. The project is called “Witness Blanket.” The sole purpose is to stand in eternal witness to the effect of the Indian residential school era.

As the children sent to these schools were “broken” so are the places they were sent to. The crumbling

Carey Newman ponders the base for the Witness Blanket. buildings of authority mirror the lose of language, pride and family for those sent to the residential schools.

A blanket is a universal symbol of protection and for First Nations people it identifies who they are and where they are

from. They wear them for ceremony and give them as gifts.

“Blankets protect our young and comfort our elders,” states the project’s website.

Newman wants to “weave” a blanket from those stories and pieces of residential school

history. He sees a large scale art installation that will stand as a national monument to recognize the atrocities of the residential school era while honouring the children and symbolize ongoing reconciliation.

From the 19th

century until the last school closed in 1996, 150,000 Aboriginal, Inuit and Metis children attended these schools across Canada.

The goal of the project is to collect 2,500 pieces of history for the Witness

Blanket. Those pieces can be shingles, bricks, mortar, wood, photos, writings or any fragment that speaks of the time and place of residential schools.A team of six, including Newman, will travel on gathering trips to different parts of Canada.

“We would certainly like to see widespread participation and have the public engage all across the country, all ages and backgrounds,” said Newman. “It is open to anybody who has connection or want to participate in any way.”

Newman said people can contribute items that may have kept from those days and this can include stories of what happened.

They are building a virtual version of the blanket, an exact replica. People will be able to click on an Cont. on Page 8

This will be another dimension crossing the boundaries between art and digital media,” said Newman. “It means anyone can visit the blanket.”

The stories, which won’t be part of the Witness Blanket itself, will be there for posterity. Stories like the ones Carey got to hear from his father.

Victor got kicked out of residential school in Mission when the guys got together to get into the wine cellar. The smallest of the group was sent in through a window and pulled out some holy wine.

They went into a field and under an apple tree they polished off the wine. When they were found out, he’s not sure how many others were kicked out of residential school. That’s one of humourous stories Carey’s father tells.

“That’s a lighthearted

impression of dad at residential school,” said Newman. “He had his own rebellious way of dealing with it.”

The others weren’t so funny. Newman said Victor spent a long time protecting his children from it.

“He recorded his story for me, some of them for the first time.

I heard things I never got to hear or feel — all the negative and bad things I knew were out there.”

He said he did a research paper in college on residential schools and his father never wanted to talk about it and he never did until recently.

Carey wants to find that apple tree and find a piece of it to put into the blanket.

The story of having his dad’s hair shaved off has touched the Newman clan and both of Carey’s sisters, Ellen and Marion, agreed to grow their

The Witness Blanket project is funded through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Aboriginal and Northern Development Canada.

Part of the funding was set aside by a court ruling to do with reconciliation, said

Are small town newspapers a good business investment? In light of today’s technology many people believe newspapers are dying, but David Black, owner of Black Press and the Campbell River Mirror doesn’t agree Black Press Vancouver Island when it comes to Community News Media community newspa• North Island Midweek pers.

• UsedEverywhere.com “I never intended to be a newspaperman, I studied engi-

neering and took my MBA,” says Black. “I ended up as a �inancial analyst for the Toronto Star for a couple of years and started to like the (newspaper) business. I particularly liked the weeklies.”

When his father told him that the Tribune was being sold, Black asked if he could buy it.

“He just laughed and said, ‘Why do you think I told you?’” recalls Black fondly. The young Black family moved to Williams Lake “for a couple of years” but “fell in love with small town living” and stayed for a decade.

While there Black learned the business at the grassroots level.

“I learned a lot about the weekly newspaper business,” says Black. “When somebody left, whether it was an editor or a compositor or a sales rep or a circulation manager or… I ended up doing the job until we found a replacement. It really helped me the rest of my career because I actually know what it takes to do the job.”

And from Williams Lake, Black began to expand his career and business. In 1980 he purchased the Ashcroft Journal (now the Ashcroft Cache Creek Journal).

Today David Black lives in Victoria and Black Press includes more than 190 publications, in B.C., the Prairies, Washington State and a daily in both Hawaii and Akron, Ohio.

So why has Black Press been so successful?

“I understand business, I have a head for business. But the trick is people. If you can surround yourself with people who are really good, you will succeed,” explains Black. “We have really good staff.”

And that is part of the reason why community newspapers aren’t as threatened by the internet, say Black.

“We are putting out as good a local paper as we can afford editorially. It shows in the numerous awards we receive every year and our readership.” says Black. “I think weeklies will continue very much the same, I don’t see

Ask yourself: Is your relationship worth saving? gone.

Relationship therapy is a collaborative process between the couple and the counsellor.

It’s also important to dispel the illusion that your counsellor has a

Question: What can be done for crooked front teeth?

Answer: There are several ways to address crooked front teeth, but it

depends on the degree of crowding. Severe crowding is often best treated with orthodontics (braces) to straighten the teeth. Moderate to mild crowding can also be treated with Invisalign, which utilizes clear trays that are custom made and move teeth gradually and gently. This can be done at your family dental Dr. Joseph Schafermeyer office.

Another way to change the appearance of teeth is with composites. These are tooth-coloured resin fillings that are bonded to repair decayed, chipped, fractured, or discoloured teeth. They can also be used to close spaces between teeth, make teeth look longer, or change the shape or colour of teeth. They usually last several years, depend on how much bonding was done and oral/biting habits.

Other options include porcelain veneers and crowns. These are thin layers of porcelain that are placed and bonded to prepared teeth. They can be used in situations where one wishes to change the shape, colour, or overall appearance of his or her teeth. They are very lifelike and can last for many years with proper care.

In order to find out which treatment would work best for you, please speak to your dentist, or call us for an exam or free Invisilign consultation.
