and came into Pier 21 in Halifax.”

The family boarded the train, and the mountains, the wildlife and the colourful RCMP tunics impressed 5-year-old Brian.

But times were tough and jobs were scarce.

They weren’t at the coast long before they went back to England and boarded another ship, a freighter, destined for South Africa.

The family stayed there for a couple of years and Brian’s dad worked as a mechanic. But that was not to be their home for long. “They were asking for people in [what is now] Zambia. We went by car; it was an interesting trip. Roads were pretty well non-existent. We drove 2000 miles.”

They dealt with the elements on their trip, monsoons, flash floods and got stuck in the middle of a river. Eventually they came to

Lusaka, the capital, where Brian’s dad was given the job as general manager of a car dealership.

“We lived there for a quite a number of years. I went to boarding school, in Grahamstown when I was 12. It was a private school based on the English system – I loved it. It was fun; I played rugby.”

After Brian graduated, his parents wanted him to go to university. He started a geology degree but his heart wasn’t in it and he didn’t want his parents throwing money away. So he entered the workforce.

“I went to different mining companies and I got a job for the AngloAmerican Corporation; that’s a huge mining company in South Africa connected with De Beers. I worked in Basutoland. We were way up the mountain, living at a camp in tents discarded from the British army. I worked there from 1961-1965. I had a special permit to carry uncut diamonds – I had to carry a gun, a big old .45 back in the shoulder holster. I had an escort everywhere I went–it’s just the way it was at the time.”

During this time Brian’s parents moved to Canada and he promised them he would eventually join them. In 1965 he left Africa and made his way to England with a buddy, Gordon Graham. He married Gordon’s sister and worked in England for a while, but the office job soon got boring.

“I really wanted to get to Canada.

We went in 1967. We flew to Vancouver. I was thinking I could get a job with a mining company but I was informed I was overqualified.”

They moved to Calgary where Brian worked in an office again for a few years then decided to try a

by Leah Blain whole different career path.

“I got into selling real estate. I was top salesman in Calgary for two months. There were 400,000 people in Calgary and 1700 realtors. It was a cut-throat business.”

Brian and wife decided to go their separate ways and he moved to Vancouver.

“My dad was working for an outfit that built forklifts and he got me a job there. I started welding. I had done welding before but I wasn’t good at it. I became a welder and got all the tickets I could possibly get.”

His welding led to different jobs, even to Tuktoyaktuk where he did warranty work on ships.

“It’s a lovely place. We’d go in the spring or fall – no one went up in winter. We’d work 16-hour days. Sometimes you would be working with a 70-mile-an-hour wind blowing. You can see storms coming in–you wouldn’t believe the storms.”

Brian had met Elaine while he was at the coast and they were married. He went through other job changes as opportunities presented themselves. In the meantime, as they went on vacations they travelled to different parts of the province. They eventually bought property on a lake near 100 Mile. He loved going fishing right after his morning coffee but they didn’t like the several feet of snow they had to deal with in the winter. They sold their house and moved to Sorrento. Brain brought with him an impressive supply of tubes, gadgets and tools used to repair old radios – that’s his hobby. The radios aren’t big as apartment-sized refrigerators that he used to use in Basutoland, but his curiosity and love of them has lasted over the years and across the ocean.

Brian Hopkins’ love of old radios goes back a long way – in time and distance – and it’s never left him. “When I was in Basutoland [Africa] I used a radio and it was necessary to contact with base camp at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. every day. We had an old radio, something the size of an apartment-sized refrigerator. It was an old British army two-way radio which I learned to operate, and I was always curious about how it worked.”

His story doesn’t begin in Africa; he was born in England during World War II. “My dad was in the RAF (Royal Air Force) as ground crew. He was a master mechanic.

When the war finished in 1945 he wanted to get out of England in the worst way. He decided to go to Canada. We came by ship

The dirty dozen

A website that I frequently research is the Environmental Working Group (www.ewg.org).

This is a site that describes itself as “the nation’s (USA) most effective environmental health research and advocacy organization.” It contains all kinds of information on environmental toxins and their effects on our health. One very informative section of this site is what they call “The Dirty Dozen.” In this section you will see a video that explains the 12 most toxic fruits and vegetables with the highest concentrations of pesticides.

It is important to be knowledgeable about this “Dirty Dozen” because if you regularly consume these fruits and vegetables, you want to be sure you are buying the organic variety. Consuming non-organic varieties of these foods exposes you to the highest levels of pesticides.

A complete Family Support Service

Professional Nursing

• In-Home/Institutional Care

Special Needs

• Palliative Care Teams

Home Support

• Personal Care • Overnights • Homemaking/Meals • Housekeeping/Cleaning • Companion/Care Sitters • Infant & Childcare

To determine the “Dirty Dozen, the EWG looked at the USDA and FDA testing results of pesticides levels in 47 different fruits and vegetables and produced this list of the 12 foods most contaminated with pesticides. The top 12 most toxic foods are: Apples Celery Cherry tomatoes Cucumbers Grapes Hot peppers Nectarines (imported) Peaches Potatoes Spinach Strawberries Sweet bell peppers The EWG also noted that they did not include squash, and leafy greens like kale and collards in their Dirty Dozen list, but they do recommend purchasing these in organic as well. While they did meet the criteria to make their specific list, they did find traces of exceptionally toxic substances such as DDT that still exist in some farm soils from their use in the 1970’s.

It is extremely important to consciously limit your exposure to pesticides as these

chemicals have been linked to cancer, problems with nervous system and hormonal development, as well as general skin, eye and lung irritation. In an ideal situation it would be nice to be able to afford to only eat a 100% organic diet to ensure your toxin exposure is minimized.

However, if you find your grocery budget does not allow for you to purchase all organic fruits and vegetables, the above-mentioned fruits and vegetables are the ones you should be sure to pick from the organic section only.

In my column next week I will also discuss which fruits and vegetables the EWG found to be more acceptable if your budget dictates that you purchase some conventionally grown foods as well. Watch for my summary of the “Clean 15” foods in next weeks edition of the Lakeshore News.

Prevention of cataracts

A cataract is a cloudiness or opaque build up of damaged protein on the lens of the eye, which is a common cause of visual decline in seniors over 65 years old. Aging, oxidative stress to the lens, exposure to sun, lack of proper eye nutrition and diabetes are some of the causes that trigger this condition.

Cataracts can be removed surgically and a new lens inserted in the eye. While this condition cannot be reversed, a change of diet and lifestyle can go a long way in the prevention of cataracts and the protection of overall health of the eyes. One simple preventative measure is to remember to wear sunglasses and a hat to protect the eyes from sun damage. Losing weight is important, as people who are obese are more likely to get cataracts. It was observed in some population studies that the incidence of cataracts increased as the body mass increased.

Eating fruits and vegetables high in vitamin, E, Beta-carotene, B2, B3, zinc and selenium are good for the overall eye health and are associated with reduced incidence of cataracts. Vitamin C also plays an important role in eye health. In one study it was observed that people who took regular supplements of vitamin C for a period of 10 years were observed with a 45% lower risk of getting cataracts. People eating more green, leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale, which are rich in the antioxidant lutein and zeaxanthin, have a reduced risk of getting cataracts. Another food rich in lutein is egg yolk. Lycopene is found in tomatoes and is also associated with reduced risk of cataracts in both sexes.

Dr Reddy, a very well-known ophthalmologist in India, and his team at the National Institute of Nutrition in Hyderabad have studied the benefits of turmeric, a common spice, and the fruit amla (Indian gooseberry) for the prevention of cataracts.

They found that moderate amounts of regular consumption of turmeric and amla reduced the risk of cataracts. Both ingredients were also helpful in slowing the growth of diabetic cataracts.

The eyes are the gateway to the soul, so take good care of them.

“The City clearly has an interest in seeing this proceed, from a number of perspectives,” explains Mayor Nancy Cooper. “We realize how much of an economic generator that post-secondary education is and can be, and we want to encourage further development of Okanagan College within our region.”

Council’s commitment at this point includes participating with the College and the donor on the ALC application and being ready to assist with access and services to the property if the application is successful.

“This is a very important first step,” explains Cooper. “We understand it will be at least two years before we can expect the application to go to the ALC, but patience and preparedness will be vital to this process. We are looking at the long-term benefits for our community and this region.”

“I watched with interest the discussion about a downtown campus and saw a community inspired by the idea,” explains Thompson. “Salmon Arm has been good to my family, and I see an opportunity here to give back and help my community.”

Thompson’s land identified for the potential donation is located within parcels he owns in the area between 10th Street SW, 10th Avenue, Foothill Road and Shuswap Street.

A proposed donation of almost 20 acres of land, and commitments from Okanagan College and the City of Salmon Arm mean the possibility of a downtown campus in Salmon Arm is getting closer.

“Jerry Thompson, a generous, community-spirited land owner, has identified a 20-acre parcel of land that he is willing to donate to the College for the purposes of a campus in the downtown area,” explains Tom Styffe, Chair of the Okanagan College Board of Governors. “We have been in discussions with the City and Mr. Thompson about what has to happen to see that come to pass.

“There are some processes that we will have to deal with, but we are excited by the offer and the opportunity.”

Those processes include approaching the Agricultural Land Commission to apply to be allowed to use the property, which is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, for a campus. Before applying to the Commission, the College is also going to have to develop education, business and development plans for the property, Styffe explained.

The City has been involved in the discussions and the three parties – College, City and the prospective donor – have signed a letter of intent that focuses on the potential donation and the development of the property.

The original bitters is a traditional herbal tonic and dates back to the 16th century, when it was created by the famous physician Paracelsus. Our ancestors commonly consumed a diet that included ample bitter herbs and vegetables, which helped them maintain efficient digestive systems. We have four different taste buds on the surface of our tongues (sour, sweet, salty and bitter), but our North American diet today is void of bitter substances. In modern times Swedish bitters, which was once an important part of European folk medicine, has been rediscovered by Austrian herbalist Maria Treben. Swedish bitters elixir has a remarkably wide range of applications. First and foremost, it is traditionally acknowledge as an effective substance for purifying the blood. Practice has shown that a blood-cleansing treatment with Swedish bitters can considerably reduce fatigue, and a rundown feeling over time. Clinical studies have indicated conclusively that dyspepsia (indigestion) can be improved by administering Swedish bitters.

It is now known that bitter substances, like Swedish bitters, increase the production of gastric acids in the stomach which results in improved food utilization and absorption. In addition, Swedish bitters can be used externally. It can be used undiluted to disinfect and soothe insect bites and chicken pox blisters. Throat infections can be treated with Swedish bitters by gargling the elixir. When administered externally, Swedish bitters stimulates the blood circulation and is thus able to relax constricted blood vessels, as in the case of migraines.

COMMENTS ON LONG WAITS AT LAB May I comment on it taking a day to get blood taken at Shuswap Outpatient Lab (SOL) when one doesn’t go by car? It isn’t just seniors, but also people with disabilities who have trouble getting to the lab. I’ve waited over two hours to be seen more than once. It’s getting difficult to find openings with HandiDart, and they have to be flexible to pick up a client ASAP afterward. Jumping the queue is not possible. Others have to get back to work or pick up a child.

Maybe chemo patients shouldn’t wait there because people cough and sneeze into the open air. On my last trip, I saw that there were protective masks on the table to the left of the lab doorway, near the telephone. My family drives two hours to Kelowna for chemo, spends six hours in chemo and drives two hours home, so two hours at the lab isn’t so bad. If you are not diabetic or fasting, go to the lab after 9:30 a.m. so that the persons who haven’t eaten for 12 hours may go first. Mt. Ida Clinic had an ad on its board for a phlebotomist to come to your home to take a blood sample instead of your having to go to the lab and wait. There is a fee.

FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED A man wrote to say my suggestion about allowing people who arrive by bus to go to the front of the line is a lame idea and would be open to abuse. It doesn’t consider all the people who live outside the transit system. “The system, as flawed as it might be, is the only way it can be done fairly for all concerned. First come first served.”

ALBERTA HAS BEST LAB SYSTEM A long-time blood sampler in Alberta & B.C, and newcomer to Salmon Arm, says Alberta’s system works very well. He says it is all done by appointments that are booked in five-minute intervals online. You have the ability to choose which lab, what time of day, and you can search for morning or afternoon times. However, you can still drop in to any lab for your sample, but those with appointments made online take precedent. Drop-ins take a number like here in Salmon Arm. It is a very good system and, in his experience, wait times with an internet appointment were very minimal: five minutes max. Like all internet sites you will first need a username and password for privacy and security.

WINNIPEG HAS A GOOD BLOOD-TAKING SYSTEM A retired lab assistant wrote: “I worked as a lab assistant (trained as a hematology technician) for a period of time in Winnipeg, MB for Trainor Labs. My duties were mostly driving to personal care homes, and private homes, mostly for the elderly or the very ill, where I relieved them of blood samples. After finishing the home calls, I’d bring my samples to a doctor’s office where I would be available for patients to have their blood drawn or to have other bodily samples collected and readied for the pickup person to take to the main lab in downtown Winnipeg to be processed.

“This method worked very efficiently. I wish we could give this service to the many retirees and sickly individuals who travel to the lab in Salmon Arm with such hardship. I am retired now but would consider a retraining session to get current credentials to offer this service.

One needs a reliable car, patience, and good phlebotomy skills. Unfortunately, our medical system in BC would likely dismiss this idea because of funding issues.”

SASK. LAW COLLEGE CELEBRATES UNIQUE WILL WRITTEN ON A TRACTOR A holographic will is a will entirely handwritten, dated and signed by the person making the will, but not signed by required witnesses. Sixty-five years ago, on June 8, 1948 a farmer near Rosetown, Saskatchewan was trapped for 10 hours beneath a tractor that overturned in the heavy clay during a heavy storm. Using a pocketknife, he wrote on the tractor’s fender: “In case I die in this mess I leave all to the wife. Cecil Geo. Harris.” He died in the hospital that night from his injuries.

A judge ordered that portion of the tractor cut off. It was probated and stood as his will. Ever since, the fender has been displayed under a piece of glass in the Law Library at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.

(Wikipedia) HOLOGRAPHIC WILL NOT ALLOWED IN BC On March 14, 2014 in B.C., the Wills Act will be replaced with the new Wills, Estates and Succession Act. Estate planning is becoming complicated because of the increase in blended families. Do not create a holographic will, also called a handwritten will, in B.C. If you erased or crossed out any wording in your handwritten or typed will, the court will invalidate it. A separate document called a codicil can be used to change your will.

A do-it-yourself will kit can be used if it was produced after March 14, 2014 when the law in BC is changed. If in doubt, use a lawyer or notary to write your last will and testament.

A Representation Agreement is important to have because it is needed before you die. I did my own using a form that Google found. Two kids signed it, too, at different times. I gave them authority to represent me when I cannot make a decision as to the facility I should be in.

Mind you, they might have to take me kicking and screaming.

CARTOONIST’S PEN SAYS IT ALL When I was president of the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce in the latter 80s, cartoonist Bob Muirhead had a lot of fun drawing me onto the editorial pages of the Salmon Arm Observer. Before he passed away, he gave me permission to reprint them in my column.

Bob’s 1989 cartoon above, taken from the book of his cartoons called Interior Shots, shows two peddlers in horse-drawn carriages, one coming into Salmon Arm and the other leaving. The one who is leaving says to the other, “Better watch it!! They’ve got this sheriff… little lady in a polyester leisure suit.”

Door-to-door salesmen and shady tradesmen stopped calling on homes in Salmon Arm because of my warnings. For many years after, charities would ask me to write that their society would be going door-to-door soliciting funds, and each volunteer would have a name tag and a proper numbered receipt book.

WALMART’S GREETERS’ HOURS CHANGED Greeters throughout Walmart stores were interviewed as to their hours, and their feedback proved there was little need for their services before 11 a.m. and after 7 p.m.

Therefore, starting this month, greeters are scheduled only between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Some of the hours will be spent elsewhere, such as on overnight stockers to ensure that Walmart’s shelves are kept full for its customers. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831 The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of Sally Scales and do not necessarily represent those of Lakeshore News and its staff.

The killer plant Being a kid at Christmas is great. Even though cobwebs are starting to cloud my long-term memory, I do recall the excitement of being a kid at Christmas and the anticipation of getting a gift you’d been asking for all year. Now that I am an adult, I spend more time thinking about the turkey and how much the whole exercise is costing me.

Despite thinking a lot about my stomach and wallet, I still find it entertaining watching the kids open gifts. One of the highlights for me this year was when my seven-year-old Nate opened up a present from my parents. It was a Venus Flytrap; as in the plant that eats bugs.

Last spring Nate went on a school field trip to a local plant nursery and was introduced to the Venus Flytrap. He was so intrigued by the plant that he has been asking for one ever since. I

mallarkey

guess the idea of a plant eating meat is exciting for a little boy. So like any good grandma, my mother got him the “killer plant.”

When Nate opened the present he was delirious. He ran around hugging his grandparents and exclaiming how much he has always wanted a Venus Flytrap.

He showed it to my wife and together they read some of the instructions and talked about putting it in his room.

Shortly after studying the instructions he walked over to me and abruptly handed me the plant.

“Dad, you have it. I don’t want it anymore” he said with a look of concern.

“What? Why don’t you want it now?” I replied, quite confused by the sudden change in his emotions.

Our ungulates in winter

It’s early January. It’s quite cold, snow it falling. As we dash off to the grocery store to stock up on fundamental purchases like cereal, juices, milk, bread, it’s not quite so easy for our wildlife. The saving grace for nature’s creatures is how they adapt. And adapt they do. For larger animals like moose, elk, and deer, their metabolism slows to conserve energy. As with cats and dogs, they have an antifreeze-like chemical in their bloodstream that flows around their internal organs and through their legs to prevent stiffness.

As winter snows begin to pile up, they also begin to yard where food is available.

But, I recall travelling to Golden, years back, and in a deep snow meadow, a bull elk was pushing his way through snowdrifts to his shoulders, followed by several cows. Elk rut in early fall, and bulls will begin to replenish lost weight and strength; whereas bull moose rut in October, and will vanish into heavy timber/willow swamps, to feed and rest from rival fights etc. and regain strength. Both animals have lost up to 150 lbs, chasing and herding cows, and defending their herd from younger satellite bulls. This is where genetics play a large part in their survival, with favourable traits being passed down from father to sons. A prime example of this was the world-record bull elk with massive antlers, taken by a poacher years back at Shelter Bay on Upper Arrow, south of Revelstoke. The antlers were retrieved by conser-

by Daron Mayes “I’m scared of it now. It might get me when I sleep!” he answered.

I tried to keep myself from laughing as I reassured him that the plant is just fine and won’t eat him. It took a few seconds, but eventually my explanation appeased him and he asked for the plant back. At that point he went back to studying the plant and asking his grandma for some hamburger so he could feed it.

In the end, I figure the plant has a lot more to worry about than Nate. If he forgets to feed/ water plants the way I do, then the “killer plant” doesn’t stand much of a chance. Besides, I am not sure feeding it a hamburger is the best thing either. Perhaps I should read the instructions!

vation officers. The following spring, a couple were trolling on the lake past a large snowslide that had come down off Mt. Sprout.

They observed a large set of elk antlers partially visible in the rubble, trees, and rocks. Later, when compared to the record set of antlers, they were a smaller duplicate.

This also happens with deer, as dad passes his genes on to sons. Mountain sheep rams also suffer the rigours of winter, as they rut in November. Our Jade Mountain herd at Chase, move over to Notch Hill and south-facing slopes to survive. While angling for salmon last fall on

by Hank Shelley the South of Spences Bridge, on the north side of the Thompson River, we watched a large band of ewes and lambs, quickly moving along as they fed on grasses and forbs. Rams were in smaller bands, higher up in the rugged bluffs, gently sparring and waiting for the rut to begin.

It’s quite easy to count the tines on elk, moose, and deer; but rams have rings or annuli rings on their horns corresponding to the age of the animal. A recent court case in Kamloops involved a sheep hunter who shot a “short sheep,” meaning a mature ram must have the tip of the horn equal to the bridge of its nose.

Our ducks and geese have the same antifreeze flowing to their extremities and legs to keeping them warm in frigid temperatures. They also have an oil gland at their rear end, and you will see them preen feathers. It can be very interesting studying and observing our wildlife in winter, and how they adapt. Too, you must remember, our bears are snoozing the winter away in cozy dens, unless disturbed by man. While logging above Revelstoke some winters ago, while making skid trails our Cat driver hit a very large stump buried in 5 feet of snow. The smell was obvious, as we covered the big sleeping bruin over again, and placed a welding tarp over to spot. That tarp is probably still there. Bears will stuff themselves with dried grasses going into denning so they don’t defecate while sleeping. In spring, coming out of denning, they will dig up certain bulbs, grasses, and Solomon seal plants to purge their systems of impurities.

So, as we bundle up with winter clothing and warm boots, to head out for some ice fishing, tubing, or cross-country skiing, pause for just a moment, and think about our wildlife, and give thanks for them enhancing our lives, even though it’s winter!

Colours for 2014

I just did legwork on this one. This is a collection of what the major paint companies are touting as the colour of the year for 2014.

Colour of the Year 2014, Radiant Orchid, The executive director of the Pantone colour Institute, Leatrice Eiseman, explains: “This season, consumers are looking for a state of thoughtful, emotional and artistic equilibrium. While this need for stability is reflected in the composition of the palette, the inherent versatility of the individual colours allows for experimentation with new looks and colour combinations.”

Benjamin Moore: Breath of Fresh Air 806, soft aqua blue “We’ve detected a ‘lighter touch’, hints, whispers, tints of colour. Shifts to pastels without looking too ‘candy’, too ‘Easter

egg’ which is an exciting message for us, a color company. We’ve begun to see a shift away from grey to tints of blues, greens, lavenders and pinks. Pastels, softened and filtered, to lift the spirit but not shout too loud... colours that can make a room happy, flatter your possessions and your art. We call these the new neutrals.” Ellen O’Neill, Creative Director.

Sherwin Wi l l i a m s : Exclusive Plum SW 6 2 6 3 , Dusty midtoned plum “This dusky, filtered violet is refined without being stuffy, elegant yet easy, and layered with romantic potential.”

Jackie Jordan, director of colour marketing.

Cico, Bunch’o Bananas 6096-54, bright yellow “The spectrum of colours for the coming year continues to reflect people’s desire to disconnect from today’s

by Linda Erlam complex world and return to the beauty of nature and art,” Mylène Gévry, Sico.

Behr, Seaside Harmony, pale turquoise The Seaside Harmony look from Behr speaks

of the seaside; turquoise, glass green, soft beiges, off-whites, clean and clear colours, not muted or muddied.

CIL Paint: mellow yellow “CIL has decreed that “mellow yellow,” a warm pastel shade, is the colour of the year.

As part of the optimistic yellow family, it retains a lively energy that suggests freshness and fun” – Alison Goldman,

brand manager.

Dulux Paint: soft green “Greens with a jewel or mint tone, such as Dulux Paint’s ‘Sea Isle’ (10GG 57/307) green, will be popular in 2014, reflecting a feeling of renewed e n e rg y, vibrancy and optimism for better economic times ahead.”

M a r t i n Tu s t i n Fuchs, brand manager.

BeautiTone Paint: warm grey “Trends are moving from cool to warm greys and towards beautiful taupes.” Bev Bell, creative director.

Para Paint: Plantain Chips, vibrant yellow “PARA chose Plantain Chips as their colour of the year because it symbolizes optimism. A bright yellow automatically evokes thoughts of sunshine and happiness.”

Garry Belfall, senior brand manager.

Local model railroad layout appeals to all ages Taxes ready yet? localities

by Wendy Clay ago, in 1988, after a few hobbyists first gathered in 1985. The HO layout grew each year. The first

Tucked away around a corner and down a hallway on the back side of The Mall at Piccadilly is the home of the Salmon Arm Model Railroad Association (SAMRA).

The room contains model railroad memorabilia, award plaques and the reason for all those awards – the portable model rail layout that fills the entire centre of the space. Saturday afternoons the layout is open to the public from noon to 4 p.m.

Children and adults ‘ooh’ and ‘ah’ over the finely-detailed scenes and watch the train cars of the Shuswap Monashee Railway as they make their way through tunnels, over bridges and overpasses and past towns and mills.

Recently I visited the layout again after an absence of a couple of years. I was as impressed as ever. Just looking at all the minute details takes a while – the scout camp, a car accident, hobos under the bridge, canoeists, workers welding, train travelers eating in the dining cars, and so on. The sheer complexity and the number of hours required to assemble it all is mind-boggling. Just one rail drawbridge that rises up and down took a member over 3000 hours to construct!

It has taken a few years to get to this stage. SAMRA officially formed 25 years

10 modules grew to 12 in 1990, the same year that a trailer was purchased to take the modules to out of town shows.

In 1994 SAMRA won 14 total awards in Portland and in 2004 in Seattle, the now 13 module layout won the top prize of all–Best of Show–at the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) National Convention.

Now that the basic layout is more or less complete, club members are working more on the electronics, as that is where technology is changing the quickest. A miniature photographer standing on an overpass holding a tiny camera has his camera flash go off as a train approaches beneath him. A building has an electronic sign board with a moving message flashing by. Sound has also been added. You

can listen to a sawmill cutting boards and to music that dancers are enjoying in the gazebo.

During the dark days of winter this year head to Piccadilly Mall and take a trip to a magic world where summer reigns eternal and trains of different eras carry passengers and freight past picturesque coun-

try scenes and towns. From the garden pool area in the mall go past the large, painted mural and turn left down the hall.

SAMRA’s room is located next to the mall’s office. Donations are appreciated to help with expenses.

In addition to the Saturday open house SAMRA meets Tuesday evenings to work on projects and conduct business. New members are welcome. Check the website www.salmonarmmodelrailway.com for contact information and to see photos and more details.

Although some are ready to say their fond farewells to 2013, thought needs to be given to the 12 months that just passed as tax-filing season approaches. Preparing for tax time at the dawn of a new year can make the process go more smoothly in the months ahead.

• Start a documents folder. Employers, charitable organizations, banks and other financial institutions begin mailing out tax forms from the previous year in early January. Individuals should keep their eyes open for any mail that appears to be tax-related. Store these documents in a folder that can protect any sensitive information. Such folders also make information more accessible as more and more documents arrive in the mail.

• Begin collecting receipts and itemizing expenses. Many expenses are tax-deductible. These can include education costs, moving expenses, home improvements, medical expenses, charitable donations and childcare costs. Store receipts and other documentation, including canceled checks, with the other tax documents. These will come in handy should an audit ever be ordered.

• Create a spreadsheet of important information.

It is handy to have all financial information at the ready. Some accountants will lower their fees if people do some of the filing preparation work themselves. This can include creating a profit/loss statement on investments, or working up a tally of charitable donations. Make an itemized list of all pertinent information so it will be handy when tax-filing time arrives.

• Decide on a filing option. Technology has made filing taxes much easier. Whatever method taxpayers choose, allow for ample time to gather information and get the taxes filed by the deadline. Leave some wiggle room in case one filing method doesn’t work out.

• Start saving money. Those who owed money in the past should begin saving money for tax expenses as early as possible.

• Develop a good filing system. Many financial professionals will advise people to keep financial records for 7 years. Any tax documents should be kept together should they need to be referenced or if an audit is ordered. Designate a filing cabinet or a box specifically for tax documents.

WORD SEARCH

SUDOKU

CAPRICORN

Capricorn, you usually take your responsibilities quite seriously, and that is often for the best. Just be sure to let your hair down sometimes and have a little fun.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, some irregularities have begun to pop up of late. It is not up to you to figure out what is going on, though. Others will discover the truth.

PISCES

Pisces, your head may be in the clouds, but it is quite comfortable up there. Just don’t linger up there too long.

ARIES

Participate in something new and interesting this week, Aries. The perfect activity will present itself in the next few weeks, so be sure to keep your eyes open.

PUZZLE NO. SU141310

TAURUS

Taurus, delay any upcoming shopping excursions for the time being. Your coffers are getting a bit sparse, and you need to conserve the rest of your funds.

GEMINI

Listen to advice this week, Gemini. Loved ones only want to help and provide support, so keep that in mind when those closest to you offer some guidance.

CANCER

Cancer, your suspicions may be aroused by someone who has been paying more attention to you than normal. It could be something completely innocent, but right now you’re not sure.

LEO

Every day is a learning process, Leo. You will find that there are a number of new ideas swirling around in your head, and if you pin one down, you may be on to something.

VIRGO

Your colleagues at work may be making things difficult, Virgo, but there is nothing you can do about it right now. Just work your hardest, and things will turn out for the best.

LIBRA

Libra, prepare to juggle multiple responsibilities in the coming days. Be ready to multi-task and expect to be pulled in multiple directions.

What’s Where When

SCORPIO

Scorpio, a small misunderstanding turns into a larger battle this week. But you have the power to put the flames out quickly by keeping a cool head.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius, you are having so much fun lately that it almost seems like life is a game. Just don’t get so caught up in the good times that you overlook your responsibilities.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. SU141310 number can appear only once in each row, column and box.

You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

WORD SEARCH

SUDOKU

CAPRICORN

Capricorn, you usually take your responsibilities quite seriously, and that is often for the best. Just be sure to let your hair down sometimes and have a little fun.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, some irregularities have begun to pop up of late. It is not up to you to figure out what is going on, though. Others will discover the truth.

PISCES

Pisces, your head may be in the clouds, but it is quite comfortable up there. Just don’t linger up there too long.

ARIES

Participate in something new and interesting this week, Aries. The perfect activity will present itself in the next few weeks, so be sure to keep your eyes open.

PUZZLE NO. SU141310

TAURUS

Taurus, delay any upcoming shopping excursions for the time being. Your coffers are getting a bit sparse, and you need to conserve the rest of your funds.

GEMINI

Listen to advice this week, Gemini. Loved ones only want to help and provide support, so keep that in mind when those closest to you offer some guidance.

CANCER

Cancer, your suspicions may be aroused by someone who has been paying more attention to you than normal. It could be something completely innocent, but right now you’re not sure.

LEO

Every day is a learning process, Leo. You will find that there are a number of new ideas swirling around in your head, and if you pin one down, you may be on to something.

VIRGO

Your colleagues at work may be making things difficult, Virgo, but there is nothing you can do about it right now. Just work your hardest, and things will turn out for the best.

LIBRA

Libra, prepare to juggle multiple responsibilities in the coming days. Be ready to multi-task and expect to be pulled in multiple directions.

What’s Where When

SCORPIO

Scorpio, a small misunderstanding turns into a larger battle this week. But you have the power to put the flames out quickly by keeping a cool head.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius, you are having so much fun lately that it almost seems like life is a game. Just don’t get so caught up in the good times that you overlook your responsibilities.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. SU141310 number can appear only once in each row, column and box.

You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
