Not made for winter

As winter bears down upon us, all my snow-loving friends exclaim with delight at each fresh new snowfall. Their moods seem to heighten in relation to the depth of snow and they chat amongst themselves about how many centimetres of base there is and how much fresh new powder sits atop that base.

I, on the other hand, am not nearly as enthusiastic. Hurtling down a mountain is fun I know, but I am just not built for cold. I really am not.

I despise being cold.

This longstanding struggle with inclement weather first came to my attention one winter day near Christmas long ago when I was just four years old. We lived on a farm at that time which had a small unused cabin in a meadow with a creek running alongside near the back end of the 58-acre property. My siblings had decided on that day that they would walk out and play in the little cabin, as they so often did. The snow had covered the meadow, the creek was iced over, and snow had fallen on the ice. Even though I knew that there was a creek, I didn’t realize as my sister was crossing from one side to the other that she was using the little footbridge. I followed behind her quite happily until I took one step to the wrong side and fell through the ice. The creek was about three feet deep and not fast-running, but I wasn’t that tall, and just my head and arms stuck up out of the ice as my sister ran back and plucked me out. She made me take my coat off, wrapped me in hers, and hurried me home – a long walk/trot for both of us. She was

without her coat now, and my pants were freezing and making stiff, crunchy sounds by the time we could cross the entire property and get inside to warmth. I decided right then and there that being cold was not something I enjoyed.

Sometime later when I was seven, this feeling was reinforced one New Years’ Eve, as friends and neighbours gathered together for a Christmas tree bonfire at a neighbour’s acreage. All the neighbours brought their Christmas trees and would throw them on the bonfire one by one throughout the evening, as we all stood around warming ourselves against the cold. The fire didn’t warm the cold ground under my boots, and in the excitement I failed to realize that my feet were growing colder and colder as the evening progressed.

Some of the neighbours had snowmobiles and they took turns giving us children rides, making for quite an enjoyable night. At least it was enjoyable, up until the point that on the way home I noticed there was something not right about my feet.

When I got home, I pulled my feet from my boots and examined my feet with the white toes on them, and then oh the pain as they thawed out for what seemed like forever – the searing pain enforcing my hatred for winter’s chill.

I decided then that winter wasn’t my favourite season.

The house I grew up in was situated higher up alongside a field that stretched for a long ways to the centre of the valley. Just by stepping out my backdoor with toboggan in tow, I could sit down and slide for about a hundred meters until the field took a short, steep rise which usually was enough to bring the toboggan to a halt.

Sometimes a warm period followed by a sudden cold would

by Howard Vangool

leave the snow covered with a crust of snow that would enable the toboggan to shoot up and over the short rise and carry me far out into the middle of the field. One cold morning tobogganing conditions were prime; it had been very warm and suddenly overnight, it had gotten quite cold and the crust on top of the snow was extremely icy. I took out my toboggan and hopped on.

I had taken the time to put some furniture

empty space.

Sometimes I would be lucky and be able to take two or three steps before I once again broke through and floundered to get through the waist deep snow.

The trek home took what seemed like forever, although it was probably only about a thirty to forty minute endeavour. By the time I got in to the warmth,

polish on the bottom of my aluminum chariot before climbing aboard so was not surprised when I went up and over the short rise at the bottom of the first hill and started traveling down into the field.

Soon I delighted in the longest ride of my tobogganing career as the icy crust carried me farther and farther towards the farthest reaches of the farm as my scarf flapped behind me, and I made sure my boots didn’t hang over the edge and slow me down. Finally the sled came to a stop and I stepped off, astounded, when I turned around and saw the house was just a speck in the distance – I had travelled very nearly across the entire forty acre field! I grabbed the string on the toboggan and started back. At my second step I realized there was a problem. The crust of snow was not enough to hold my weight and each step I would break through and go right up to my waist into the deep powdery snow beneath. Both my socks chose this time to bunch up around my toes and the powdered snow quickly packed inside my boots, filling every

my pants were soaked through and my hands and feet were once again in severe pain as I ran them under first cold, then cool, and then warm water to thaw them out. At that point I decided that playing in snow was not nearly what it was chalked up to be.

Years later as a bachelor, I owned six acres on the outskirts of Prince George. Of course it can get very cold there, and one morning I woke up and went to have a shower and there was no water.

The pipe leading from the pump to the house was wrapped in heat tape, and looking out the window I deduced that a clump of snow had slid from the roof and unplugged the cord from the side of the house. Now it was minus forty and the pipe had frozen.

Being as the house was in a secluded location and I was in a hurry, I jumped into my boots and ran along the side of the house, quickly plugged in the cord, and ran back to go inside. The door, however, had locked itself when it closed, and now I stood alone on my porch in minus forty

weather wearing just shorts and my boots. I suddenly started to feel quite cold.

I didn’t really want to kick my door in, and so thinking quickly, I remembered that the student that stayed with me sometimes left her window open just a crack. I ran around to the back of the house and sure enough, the window was just the tiniest bit open. The aluminum frame was also frozen solid and I couldn’t budge it.

I thought of the propane torch in my workshop and I knew the back door was left unlocked because no one walked around through the deep snow anyway. I raced across my yard through the thigh-deep snow which once again filled my boots before I could enter the workshop and grab the propane torch and lighter from on my workbench.

The lighter was far too cold to light, and I could barely touch the metal canister of the torch as it was so cold, so I stood it on the bench and clenched the lighter hard in my fist to warm it enough to light.

Finally the lighter lit and luckily it wasn’t quite cold enough inside the workshop for the propane to remain liquid and so I was able also to light the propane torch. I wrapped it in a shop rag to carry it back to warm the window frame enough to allow it to slide open, and then I dove inside. By this time about fifteen or twenty minutes had passed, and the heat tape had thawed the pipe, so luckily I was able to have my much-deserved hot shower and thaw out my frozen feet and icy cold and aching hands. I decided then that I really am not suited for winter at all. I think it is best for me to just stay inside on cold days and let others who are more adaptable to winter weather do the winter activities.

Conquer your fears

Wolves support donkeys

Motorcyclists who belong to the BC Lone Wolves Club canvassed businesses and asked members for little-used motorcycle items and held a silent auction at their Christmas party held at the Hideaway Pub on December 7th. They raised $515 with all proceeds going to the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge. At the suggestion of donkey refuge society directors Shirley Mainprize and Rob Miller,

the money will go to pay the balance owing for donkey care at the Shuswap Veterinary Clinic.

Last Tuesday, BC Lone Wolves representatives (from left) Donalee Wallace and Al Bijou presented Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge Society vice president Rob Miller with the cheque, with veterinarian Dr. Gordon Bose (far right) present as well.

In September, Natalya Melnychuk of Sorrento packed the Lakeshore News to the summit of the highest peak in Africa on a seven-day trip up Mt. Kilimanjaro, at 5,895 m above sea level. She wonders if perhaps this is the highest the News has been outside of a plane? In addition to the hike, Natalya attended two weddings for her close friends in Dar es Salaam, enjoyed the beaches of Zanzibar, canoed with hippos, and made a pit stop in Budapest, Hungary for a third wedding before heading back to the Shuswap after five weeks away.

Natalya receives $10 for having her picture printed and is entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2013.

Ask your Cosmetician Wishing all of our customers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Rarely a week passes without someone coming into my office after seeing their “foot doctor” or another healthcare professional, and they tell me they have a short leg.

This situation is often complicated as they have been given a heel lift to compensate for the short leg. I say this is complicated, because many times the heel lift is actually not the correct treatment for their situation, and it begins to cause more problems than it helps.

At first thought, it may seem straight forward. If the leg looks short, put a bit of a lift under their insole in their shoe to balance things out... Research does show that people who have a 5-7mm leg length imbalance (LLI) tend to have more episodes of low back pain. In practice, I even will sometimes see this accompany

Thanks to all of you who make our job a pleasure to do, each and every day

See you soon, Judi & Andrea

Downtown Salmon Arm • 250.832.2111

Short leg? (or cause) low back pain when there is as little as only a 3mm difference in leg length.

When I shoot a series of weight-bearing x-rays of a person’s low back and pelvis in our practice and I see one hip lower than the other, it is extremely important to determine the source of this imbalance. An apparent short leg may originate from one leg physically being shorter which is referred to as an Anatomical Leg Length Inequality (ALLI). This results from a person having one of the bones in their leg measuring different in length than the same bone in the opposite leg.

These differences usually arise from childhood trauma or may even be congenital (since birth).

The other more common source of imbalance is referred to as a Functional Short Leg (FSL). This has many causes that can originate from as far down as the foot all the way up to twisting of the pelvis and lumbar spine. In the foot, one of the most common issues is excessive pronation of the ankle which is a rolling inwards of the ankle and dropping of the arch. A knee problem can also be a source of a shorter leg

which includes excessive degeneration or a “knocked-knee.” An FSL (Functional Short Leg) is more often than not, the result of subluxation in the sacroiliac joints in the pelvis, a rotation in the lumbar spine.

How can this be fixed? Chiropractic adjustments. The goal of a wellness chiropractor is to detect and correct spinal subluxation, remove nervous system interference, correct postural misalignment (FSL) and get ones body functioning at optimal health.

As you can see from the above examples it is not a surprise that in practice the majority of patients who come in to the office actually have an imbalance in the legs. Relying on experience and onsite digital x-rays allows me to determine the true source of a (LLI) and to recommend the appropriate route of treatment. Without determining the exact cause of a leg length inequality, a heel lift may be beneficial or it may further aggravate the person’s foot, knee, or spine.

If you have been told you have a short leg and would like to determine the cause of this imbalance call Dr. Gage at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224 for an assessment today.

Polymyalgia rheumatica

Polymyalgia rheumatica causes muscles to become stiff, tender and very sore. It affects the muscles of the neck, shoulders, lower back, hips and thighs. Sometimes people also get a slight fever and night sweats. A person may lose his or her appetite and be anemic and pale. Depression is also common in people who have this condition.

The cause of polymyalgia rheumatica is not known. However, possibilities include immune system abnormalities and genetic factors. The fact that polymyalgia rheumatica is rare in people under the age of 50 suggests it may be linked to the aging process. Women develop it more often than men. It most often appears in women over the age of 50.

A condition associated with polymyalgia rheumatica is called giant cell arteritis. It sometimes occurs in people who have polymyalgia rheumatica, as well as to those without it. With giant cell arteritis, there can be headaches and changes in the eyes. The head feels tender to touch or painful when pressed on. There can be changes in vision such as blurred vision, blind spots or seeing double. Any changes in the eyes should be brought to attention to your physician, as sometimes it leads to blindness or other complications.

Usually a specialist rheumatologist will give a treatment plan for polymyalgia rheumatica, which may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Ibuprofen that help reduce pain and swelling and decrease stiffness.

Oral cortisone may also be prescribed.

Exercise may help reduce pain and will keep muscles from becoming weak. However, it is important to strike a balance between too much activity, which can strain painful muscles, and too little activity, which can increase pain, stiffness, and lead to further weakness. Polymyalgia rheumatica usually goes away of its own accord, but it is not possible to predict how long the disease will last in any person.

THANK YOU FOR LETTERS TO VIC BATES

Urns and now he has room to expand. He is delighted to announce that Ben Moss Jewellers will stock Pacific Urns in its stores. Established in 1910, Ben Moss Jewellers is Canadian owned and operated with over 60 stores coast-tocoast.

DONT GET YOUR SHIRT IN A KNOT OVER THE ROSS ST. UNDERPASS

In 1994, a young man came to Gem Set Jewellers when it was located in downtown Salmon Arm and attempted to sell a necklace he had stolen from another jewellery store.

Owner Mike Ponty recognized its label. He said he’d have to go across to the bank for some money. Once outside, he phoned the RCMP. When the officer came to the store, he called for backup.

He grabbed the young man and took him to the floor. The young man grabbed his service revolver and shot the officer. The bullet grazed his jaw and went to a wall. Mike grabbed the hand with the revolver and held it strongly to the floor till another officer arrived. He kept it there until the officer took over and was told to let go.

In 1995, the Government of Canada flew Mike and his now-wife Tani to Ottawa. At the request of the commander of the RCMP, the Governor General presented Mike with a medal of bravery for saving the life of a police officer.

Your letters thanking Vic Bates that were published in the Dec. 20 column were read to him as they were received. In his struggle with cancer, he knew how appreciated he was for all his work to make the world, especially Salmon Arm and Crazy Creek, a better place.

The lease the city is proposing is not an actual decision to go with the Ross St. underpass, but without the lease on the adjoining properties the city cannot ensure the ability to build in the future even if supported. The lease will simply allow the city to start a planning process. Before an underpass is built, Salmon Arm taxpayers will vote in a referendum.

NEED HELP STOPPING SUBSTANCE ABUSE?

SEARCH IS ON FOR EXCELLENT FAMILY DOCTOR

The BC College of Family Physicians has introduced a new award to recognize excellence among family doctors in the province: “My Family Doctor.” The award will celebrate the doctor-patient relationship, which is known to help improve patient satisfaction and health outcomes.

Family doctors care for all parts of the body and mind, all diseases, all ages and genders, including preventative care, primary mental health care, and treatment of most illnesses and injuries.

If you value your relationship with your family doctor and the impact he or she made in your life, share your story at www.bcfamilyphysicians.com. Nominations close March 31, 2014. The first annual award will be presented in June 2014 at the Family Medicine Conference. Both doctor and patient involved in the winning submission will receive paid travel to attend the event in Vancouver, and will be recognized in their local media.

MIKE PONTY EXPANDS PACIFIC URNS

While owning Gem Set Jewellers in Piccadilly, Mike Ponty saw an opportunity to start a manufacturing business for pet lovers. He brought jewellers from Europe and started Pacific Urns in another location. It produces jewellery urns for people and pet jewellery urns. In Salmon Arm, his urns can be purchased at Gem Set in Piccadilly and Bower’s Funeral Service. www.pacificurns.com.

After Mike sold Gem Set in Piccadilly to one of his jewellers, he had a shop built in the industrial park for Pacific

EASY TO INSTALL A SECURITY CAMERA TO MONITOR YOUR HOME

T. W. Pausche receives this column by email and he responded to my question about security systems for a home. He wrote: “My principal residence is outside the Shuswap area. From it, I like being able to view 24/7 the main living area of my summer home. I can see whether or not there is snow outside, read the thermometer on the wall, and even see the combustion in the gas fireplace!”

He continues: “It is so easy now to go with a security camera, one you buy and install yourself. You don’t even need a computer at the premises you’re monitoring if you purchase an IP camera. You do, however, need to have at least a router and broadband [as opposed to dial up] internet there. You can set up the camera to send you an email with photos or even a small video if motion is detected. However, it isn’t the same as a professional monitoring service if you need the certainty of instant notification and follow up.”

He adds that anyone considering a camera and expecting reduced insurance should check with the insurer before purchasing. Being a non-resident, he knows first-hand that it makes a big difference in the premium if a home is considered vacant or unoccupied. Because of that, he has someone inspecting his summer home every week.

BC HYDRO CHARGES FOR READING OLD METERS

If you refused to have your BC Hydro meter replaced with a Smart Meter, you probably received a letter saying you will be charged $30 each time your old meter is read.

THERE’S NO SEX IN SALMON ARM

In the latter 80s, when I was president of the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce, cartoonist Bob Muirhead had a lot of fun drawing me onto the editorial pages of the Salmon Arm Observer. In 1990 he published a book of some of his cartoons called Interior Shots, and before he passed away he gave me permission to reprint them in this column.

In 1989, a love shop in Vernon opened a store on Alexander St. in Salmon Arm. We in the chamber welcomed the new business, but many in Salmon Arm opposed it. Sermons from some pulpits referred to it as the devil’s work. One Saturday there were pickets in front of the store. As president, I said we cannot prevent a business from coming to town. Bob was sorry when my two years as chamber president ended because he no longer had many interesting topics to draw.

This controversy was perfect for Bob. His cartoon had a large sign above the door that said Love Shoppe Adult Sales & Rentals. Flying in front, one bird said to another: “Why would they open a store like that, Frank?” The other one replied: “Beats me, Ray. Everybody knows there’s no sex in Salmon Arm.” After many letters to the editor and a picture of picketers on Alexander St., customers stayed away from the store and it closed. About 15 years later it returned and was not opposed. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831

Cherished memories of Christmas in the old country

By Monika Adler I was born in Germany during WW2 so the Christmas memories of my youth were not of many or big presents, although mother and grandmother always had some surprise for my younger brother and me. The memories I cherish are the singing and celebration in our small family. The one room that could be heated, was glistening with the sudden appearance of a small decorated tree, with real candles that

were lit on Christmas Eve, when the presents were received.

There was always a little ceremony involved before we were allowed to even look to the small table where the presents were. I had to recite a poem or prayer and then we sang, with my mother on guitar, and the most beautiful song was Silent Night, sung in three-part harmony. One year my grandmother had taught me a lengthy poem for the occasion.

Arm performed a song circle of childhood memories, that I had composed. One of the pieces, “The Christmas Poem,” reflected the feeling of that memory. I was surprised and humbled how the musicians and the audience appreciated it.

My husband and I won’t have much of a traditional Christmas this year for various reasons, but I still remember what Christmas is all about, and how it can be meaningful and memorable.

Letters to the Editor

Fact beforeImproved fiction access would add appeal

Fact: the city lease proposal is for the lease of properties. Fiction: the lease means building an underpass before a referendum supports it. Fact; before spending on planning or engineering the properties must be secured. Fiction: the cost will be $9 million. Fact: the cost to taxpayers will only be a portion of the total build cost because of cost sharing with provincial & federal governments and CP Rail. We hope that the citizens of Salmon Arm understand the facts and allow this diligent move by council and a company with foresight for the town.

The lease should be understood for what it is – a lease so that other development or sale could not make the properties unavailable for use; in the event an underpass is supported and approved in the future. An added plus of the agreement is the acquisition of other land necessary (road dedication and statutory rights of way) at no cost beyond the lease agreement.

to the downtown and waterfront, for locals and tourists alike. The current barrier between tourist traffic and the waterfront means most just keep on passing through, not willing to navigate the maze of turns to the waterfront resulting in loss of economic benefits to the entire community.

With other crossing options now unavailable because of development or too costly to engineer and build, it is timely and sensible of council to plan for a safer potential option.

We have a local developer willing to work with the community on possibilities for the future. Past performance has been improvement to the area through sensible investment and visionary planning. Let’s allow this proposal to move forward and see what it will bring to the community.

Time again for Mall Arkey’s New Year’s resolutions. I would like to say we like to promote self-improvement, but it seems we are more interested in overcoming disappointment. Oh well, you’ve got to give us some credit for trying.

So here we go again…

10. Duma will take a feline safety course. In particular, she will focus on the “Avoid Vehicles” section.

9. Mall Arkey Junior will encourage not only his children, but his nephews and parents to take an “Escalator Training 101” course.

8. Mall Arkey Junior will not embark on 50 kilometre bike rides with young children without packing a proper survival pack which includes a decent tow rope. It would also be advisable to train for two months prior.

7. The Junior Bean Counter will not sell the Christmas gifts he received for at least a year. He also won’t sell things he doesn’t own.

6. The Mayes boys will remember to feed Duma and clean her litter box every day so that Dad doesn’t have to do it.

5. Ron will remember to wear his sombrero and sun screen while enjoying retirement in Mexico.

4. Mall Arkey Junior will eat in moderation whenever there is a big holiday meal (e.g. Easter, Thanksgiving etc). Talk about setting yourself up to fail!

3. Mall Arkey Junior will work on try to wear matching clothes and not worry so much about his lawn.

2. The Mayes family will avoid mouse-infested campsites or remember to bring Duma camping with them.

And, as usual, our number 1 resolution is to ensure we have fun and enjoy life; so long as I don’t pull my hamstring doing it!

Happy New Year and good luck with those resolutions!

Gaming grants awarded

SORRENTO- Two local organizations that assist those in need are getting a boost from the B.C. Government’s Community Gaming Grant Program.

The Sorrento Food Bank is receiving $12,000 and the Order of Royal Purple Lodge in Salmon Arm is receiving $10,000.

“The Sorrento Food Bank and the Order of Royal Purple Lodge are always there for those in need, and these grants support their great work,” says Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. “As we all reflect on how fortunate we are this holiday season, let’s also think about how we as individuals can support organizations like these that help our most vulnerable citizens.”

These grants were awarded under the Human and Social Services category of the Community Gaming Grant Program, which allows non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues. In the 2012/13 fiscal year, the B.C. government distributed a total of $135 million in gaming grants for eligible community programs and services.

Organizations interested in applying for Community Gaming Grants can find full application information at www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/gaming.

Follow Greg on Twitter and Facebook for updates on his work in the Shuswap and Victoria.

SUDOKU

Capricorn, while you are glad to lend a helping hand when you are asked, the request that comes in this week could be so big that you may actually be caught off-guard.

AQUARIUS

It is hard to make progress this week, especially since it could feel like you’re going at a snail’s pace. Stick with it and everything on your list is likely to get done.

PISCES

Pisces, although you can certainly use your share of the limelight, let another person shine this week and you’ll have your own glow.

ARIES

Aries, direct your efforts toward helping other people. You may find you are more energized when helping others, and your efforts will be much appreciated.

TAURUS

Surround yourself with friends and family this week, Taurus. You should have some downtime, and you can use this time to catch up and reconnect with your loved ones.

GEMINI

Gemini, some levels of communication may be compromised this week, so your messages may not reach the intended recipient. It could take a little longer to get your point across.

CANCER

Cancer, your boundless energy keeps people happy and engaged and should be used as much as possible in the next few days. You also could be sought after to fix problems.

LEO

Leo, tap into your creative side to shake things up and stave off some boredom. Others may think your actions are suspect, but you know these efforts will help you achieve your ultimate goal.

VIRGO

You have to accept that things change and you cannot preserve the present, Virgo. That said, start making plans for new things for this year starting with right now.

LIBRA

Libra, although you are able to think quickly, you much prefer to have things organized. If you have a presentation to make next week, start working on it now.

We all are all affected by weather, and with winter here to stay for a while, we also must resolve to tough it out one way or another. We are fortunate to live in a region of BC where we have a winter wonderland for cross country skiing, snow shoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and curling. As well, there is indoor recreation. For one, the Salmon Arm Fish and Game Club archery division, which holds shoots at the old arena. For information, you can call 250-8324486 or enquire at Westside Stores.

The club also sponsors trap shoots on the club grounds on certain Sundays.

Our winter months need not be depressing as some folk think, ‘cause it’s all in your mind as to what you make it. Winter snows replenish our snow pack for water supply, and you can slide on it to your heart’s content up at Larch Hills. It seems, as we age, more and more of us like to cosy up to the fireplace or heater, and just relax with a good book and glass of wine, or a hot toddy on cold winter nights. So how about a good read or two, on an outdoor theme, to while away the evening hours? There are many good authors out there, bringing out books for everyone’s taste these days, so let’s delve into some you just may enjoy.

Some old favourites: Dude Lavington’s Nine Lives of a Cowboy.

Tough times, early day ranching in Cariboo. Cariboo Cowboy, by Harry Marriot; as well as Born for the Wild Country, and The Fire Still Burns, by Chilco Choate – excellent reading.

Crazy Man’s Creek and Grizzly Bear Mountain, by Jack Boudreau – excellent reading, and well-written. Never Chop Your Rope, about logging camp life on the coast; as well as Never Forget the Good Times, both by author Joe Garner. The latter is about life growing up on Vancouver Island.

Outposts and Bush Planes; Bruce Lamb writes it the way it was, on flying in the north country, and ol’ time game wardens – excellent reading. Don’t Shoot From the Saddle, by D. A. Holley; about a young lad growing up in the Quesnel area who

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley becomes a rural doctor; with lots of outdoor adventure.

If you want a good laugh, you gotta get Never Say Die, by veterinarian Dr. Dave Perrin, about how he started a practice in the Creston area. It’s full of humour and a great read. He has two books out. Born to be in the Bush, by Wayne Abbott, a local author, takes you up to Seymour Arm with stories of his trapping, trucking, and bush life adventures; an excellent book. If you enjoy hunting/guiding/wildlife adventure, this book is for you. Wild and Free, by famous guide Frank Cooke takes you to the north country, along with Skook Davidson, relating some hair-raising adventures. Author Chris Kind’s Turn ‘em North takes you on some early history of the Cariboo country and its colourful characters.

On the Road Again, by CBC’s Wayne Rostad, takes you coast to coast, gathering interesting stories of folks and places across Canada. It’s a good book to enjoy. Wildlife Adventures by Dick Dekker: great stories about wildlife and outdoor living.

Armstrong author retired school principal Leonard Gamble’s book, So Young They Were, is about the young men of the district who went to the second World War, and those who did not return. Leonard writes on the air war, including the Battle of the Atlantic, and the liberation of Holland. A must-read for those that follow military history.

Touch the Flame; Stories From The Okanagan Mountain Fire: very interesting.

Although now an older book, a great kids’ read by William Lishman is called Father Goose, about how he had Canada geese tamed from goslings, and then taught them to follow his ultra-lite aircraft.

Many of us have our favourite new/used book store. You’ll find lots more great reading I’m sure. Enjoy them!

Resolve to hang all of the framed pictures sitting in your basement. The cheapest and best material with which to hang pictures is copper wire, of a size proportioned to the weight of the pictures. The wire is hardly noticeable, yet strong and durable.

Resolve to get rid of ants. Wash a large natural sponge, press it dry. Into the cells, sprinkle white sugar, and place it near where the ants are troublesome. The ants will soon collect upon the sponge and take up their abode in each cell. It is then necessary to dip the sponge in boiling water. The sponge may be set over and over again.

Resolve to make your own furniture polish. Mix 2 teaspoons lemon oil and 1 cup mineral oil in a spray bottle.

Resolve to clean all of the baseball caps in the house. Set them in the dishwasher on the top rack, along with the dishes. When finished, reshape the bill, and put over a pan to air dry.

Resolve to buy fresh bread. Did you

know that each day has a different colour plastic bread clip? They are: Monday/Blue, Tuesday/Green, Thursday/Red, Friday/White, Saturday/Yellow. If today was Thursday, you would want a red clip, not a white tie which is Fridays (almost a week old). To remember the colors of the twist tie, they go alphabetically by colour - Blue-Green-Red-WhiteYellow, Monday through Saturday, skipping Wednesdays. Write this code down and keep it in your wallet.

Resolve to make zippers slide with ease. Zippers won’t stick if you rub them with the edge of a bar of soap or a candle.

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press BC Hydro’s imposition of manual meter reading fees has persuaded most holdouts to accept a wireless smart meter.

BC Hydro imposed a $35 monthly fee starting Dec. 1 for customers who refuse to part with their mechanical electricity meters, after offering the 68,000 customers who still had them the option of accepting the new meter with the radio transmission function on or off.

BC Hydro reported the results recently to the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC), which is reviewing the fees. More than 48,000 customers chose the smart meter to avoid the meter reading fee. Another 450 chose the radio-off meter, which comes with a $100 setup fee and $20 a month starting April 1 to cover costs of collecting readings.

Another 6,270 customers chose to keep their mechanical meters, and 13,110 more did not respond to BC Hydro’s letters, so they will have the $35 fee added to their bills until they choose another option.

BC Hydro reports that 99 per cent of its customers now have the wireless meter. Most of those have been switched to automated billing, and have their daily electricity use displayed on their online account pages.

Claims of health effects from wireless meter transmissions have been rejected by health authorities, and also by the BCUC in a review of FortisBC’s wireless meter program. BCUC found that the radio frequency signal from a bank of smart meters is less than 10 per cent of the natural background level, and a tiny fraction of the exposure from a cellular phone.

Citizens for Safe Technology, one of the more active opponents of the wireless grid, was represented at the FortisBC hearings by Donald Maisch.

BCUC rejected Maisch’s claims of health hazards, noting that Maisch’s “consulting livelihood depends on public fears and concerns about radio frequency exposure.”

Pisces, although you can certainly use your share of the limelight, let another person shine this week and you’ll have your own glow.

ARIES

Aries, direct your efforts toward helping other people. You may find you are more energized when helping others, and your efforts will be much appreciated.

TAURUS

Surround yourself with friends and family this week, Taurus. You should have some downtime, and you can use this time to catch up and reconnect with your loved ones.

GEMINI

Gemini, some levels of communication may be compromised this week, so your messages may not reach the intended recipient. It could take a little longer to get your point across.

CANCER

Cancer, your boundless energy keeps people happy and engaged and should be used as much as possible in the next few days. You also could be sought after to fix problems.

LEO

Leo, tap into your creative side to shake things up and stave off some boredom. Others may think your actions are suspect, but you know these efforts will help you achieve your ultimate goal.

VIRGO

You have to accept that things change and you cannot preserve the present, Virgo. That said, start making plans for new things for this year starting with right now.

LIBRA

Libra, although you are able to think quickly, you much prefer to have things organized. If you have a presentation to make next week, start working on it now.

What’s Where When

SCORPIO

Scorpio, there has never been a better time to put romance in the forefront. If you’re single, put all your cards on the table. If you’re matched up, increase your amorous gestures.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius, some people you know may be caught up wondering about past decisions that might not have worked out. Help them to focus on the here and now.

It’s best to burn certain woods depending on the season: In the spring and fall, burn spruce, pine, cedar–make sure it’s dry. In the winter (below 0ºC) burn birch, fir, larch, and tamarack.

Check out the wood heat installation company before you hire them, and make sure they have the following: • BBB Membership • Valid Wett Certificate • Liability Insurance Gerry & Sons Roofing also troubleshoots all systems – down drafting, back pressure, and insufficient draw are all caused by improper installation!
