Consider Black Cohosh

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPES

Evidence is mixed, but several studies have found that women who take the herb black cohosh during menopause may experience fewer and milder hot flashes. Talk to your doctor about whether it’s right for you; if so, choose a well-studied brand such as Remifemin.

SUDOKU

CAPRICORN

Find a balance between caution and carelessness, Capricorn. You cannot control every situation, and this week you may have something unexpected come your way.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, if you’re on the lookout for new work opportunities, look no further than your own supervisor for guidance. He or she may be your biggest ally.

PISCES

You have boundless creativity, Pisces, and this week you get to channel it into a special project.

Don’t overextend yourself until everything gets done.

ARIES

Aries, expect to be called into action several times this week. You may prefer to avoid the spotlight, but that won’t be the case this week. Make the most of this opportunity.

PUZZLE NO. SU14C280

HOW TO PLAY:

TAURUS

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. SU14C280 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!

Taurus, all of a sudden you are so busy it can be difficult to find a few moments to rest. Thankfully, you are able to keep up with all of the activity.

GEMINI

Gemini, seek advice from a trusted confidante as you contemplate a major lifestyle change. This person will provide valuable insight as you look to make the best decision possible.

CANCER

Cancer, going solo on a project may not seem like the ideal situation. But you don’t want to be distracted this week, so going it alone is the best way to tackle the tasks at hand.

LEO

Leo, following your gut may not always work out, but this week everything works out for the best.

Curb impulsiveness as much as you can, though.

VIRGO

Virgo, although you might be dreaming of a lavish vacation and an escape from the daily grind, it’s just not possible at this time. Start saving for this dream excursion.

Country musicians on CPR Holiday Train

One of the much-loved December activities for Salmon Arm residents is heading down to the parking lot beside Lordco for the annual CPR Holiday Train visit, offering a feast of lights and entertainment. This year the train rolls into town on Monday, December 15th at 6:30 p.m., and will present musical guests Jim Cuddy and Tracey Brown.

Jim Cuddy is a member of Canadian country rock band, Blue Rodeo, as well as a solo artist.

His voice, always a voluptuous instrument, has never sounded better and Cuddy proves once again that his songwriting ranks with the best Canada has to offer.

Tracey Brown is a member of a family of exceptional and celebrated musicians. She was part of Canada’s most awarded country group, Family Brown, before forming the Juno award winning, PrescottBrown. The Family Brown toured

extensively and had a syndicated TV show for 13 years.

Over her career, Tracey Brown has released more than 20 albums and was nominated for a Juno as Best Country Female Vocalist in 1999. She is also a member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. She and husband, Randall Prescott have been actively involved in production of the Holiday Train since 2004, as well as performing on many of the tours.

The CP Holiday Train is North America’s longest rolling food bank fundraiser.

Since it started rolling in 1999, the program has raised close to $9.5 million and 3.3 million pounds of food.

“The Holiday Train is all about the community coming together over the holiday season and helping each other out with donations to local charities,” said E. Hunter Harrison, the railway’s CEO, in a news release. “CP continues to be grateful that our train of lights and top musical talent are welcomed with open arms and that this

has become a holiday tradition in our communities.”

The full CP Holiday Train schedule is available on cpr.ca. And supporters can also join the Holiday Train on Facebook and follow the two trains on Twitter, and Instagram @CPHolidaytrain #CPHolidayTrain. Track the challenge at #HealthyDonationsChallenge. For additional information, photos, a route map, and downloadable pictures of the two trains, visit: www.cpr.ca.

Toy and food drive in Eagle Valley

By Pam Beech, President, Eagle Valley Community Support Society The Eagle Valley Community Support Society wishes to notify the public that there was a miscommunication about the focus of the Volunteer Firefighters’ Christmas drive in the communities of Sicamous, Mara and Malakwa, scheduled for this Sunday, December 7th. We want to make sure that people know we need food this year more than toys in this drive. It has always been a ‘Food and Toy’ drive, and this year is no

exception. We also accept donations of money, as this allows us to purchase what we need. We apologize for any confusion this may have created.

Merry Christmas in advance to our wonderful supporters and, as always, the incredibly devoted firefighters who brave the cold each year to collect your donations and bring them into our Resource Centre in Sicamous. If you miss the fire truck on Dec. 7th you can drop off your donations to our Resource Centre, 1214 Shuswap Avenue.

What can we say?

by Nan Dickie Let’s say you’re a big fan of Christmas – you’re making your gift list. You’re excited about decorating your home and getting together with friends for festive cheer. Great!

But last night, you and your son were alone in the car, and he blurted out, “Mom, I’m so depressed!” Or, your friend lives a thousand miles away, and you haven’t talked to her for a month. After your “hello”s, she sobs, “I’m feeling suicidal,” and you even didn’t have a clue that she was depressed, or ever has been. No matter how they express it, your loved one or friend is courageously reaching out to you in their emotional and mental pain. These scenarios are rampant at this time of year.

What would you say if you were on the receiving end of one of these outcries?

There are lots of unhelpful responses, like “Oh, lighten up.

“Tis the season to be merry!” Or, “I know what you mean. I got depressed when the snow disappeared last

week.” Or, “You’re kidding. You’ve got the world by the tail!”

Never say, “You should….” If you make those sorts of comments, the depressed person does not feel heard, and BEING HEARD is the MOST IMPORTANT THING a depressed person wants and needs.

Here are some helpful, and appreciated, responses to “I am depressed”: • “Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.” (You are showing the person that you care and hear their pain. But don’t leave it there! Ask appropriate questions.)

• “Would you like to talk about it?” (You are making clear your willingness to listen longer.

You’re probably nervous. Take an invisible deep breath and listen compassionately.)

• “Is there anything I can do?” (Maybe they need to connect with their doctor – you can arrange that. Depressed people often can’t think clearly or focus, and may forget to shop for food or go to appointments. How can you help?)

• “I’ll be thinking about you.” (It’s important for many of us to be remembered by friends and family as we struggle, often isolated, with our

symptoms.)

• “May I phone you in a few days?” (You are being clear that, after this initial conversation, your caring is ongoing, even if you can’t do much concretely to help. If they respond with something like, “Oh, it doesn’t matter,” you need to say, “I’ll give you a call in a few days.” And then do it.

It’s important in your conversation to get an idea of the intensity and severity of your loved one or friend’s problem. They may need immediate professional help, or should go to the hospital. If so, calmly take them to the medical care they need now.

Don’t shy away from asking, “Are you afraid of harming yourself?”

If he or she is suicidal, don’t leave them alone.

You cannot “fix” a depressed person’s mental state. What they want most is someone to listen to them non-judgmentally. Just ask me. I am one of “those people.”

So what to do? The snow birds may be onto something, flying south for the winter.

For the rest of us staying home, this is a time that should, and can be enjoyable and stressfree. The trick is to set up physical, chemical and emotional bound-

People will understand you prioritizing your family’s health and your sanity over squeezing in one more event. Spend a bit of extra time planning healthy and lighter meals through December. And finally, get adjusted to reduce the stress on your nervous system.

CHRISTMAS HOURS

Ask a counsellor a question, express yourself, or get informed

Festive events unfortunately make it very tempting to consume and overindulge unhealthy foods and alcohol.

The biggest stress and contributor to a decline in health during this hectic month is emotional.

We tend to see people coming through our office door more subluxated than usual this time of year. With everyone trying to cram extra holiday activities into an already packed calendar, emotional stress levels will peak to

‘Tis the season for stress

Once again it is that time of year where the temperatures are dropping, the holidays are fast approaching, credit cards are nearing their limits and everyone’s coping abilities are reaching maximum levels. December can be a difficult time of year because there are so many more opportunities to heap physical, chemical, and emotional stress onto the body and mind.

The month of December can increase physical stress on the body by reducing the amount of time for beneficial exercise.

We have the demands of an extra busy schedule of Christmas parties, staff parties, kids concerts, and family events. Heap on a good dose of snow that requires shoveling, and ice that creates an unstable surface for walking (resulting in falls) and our physical being starts feeling very stressed.

The holidays are also a time when our bodies face extra chemical stresses.

RED DEER HOCKEY PARENTS COME TO WATCH SON WITH SILVERBACKS ON MANY WEEKENDS Ross Heidt is #21 and a forward on the Silverbacks team. His mother wrote a letter to the Silverbacks Fan News and it is reprinted in this column with permission.

Juanita and Ron Heidt are pleased that Ross took one year off from Jr. A hockey and returned home for his education. He played Midget AAA in Red Deer and graduated in 2014.

A LETTER FROM A SILVERBACKS MOTHER “We are from Red Deer, and we have driven to Salmon Arm for four out of the last five weekends. We love every minute of attending Ross’s games, and we go as often as we can, as we know this doesn’t last forever. We have met wonderful people in the hockey world, and we continue to do so in Salmon Arm. Troy Mick, the coaches and staff have all been so wonderful to us, and we have never had such a warm welcome.

“As parents, we were absolutely thrilled with the Silverbacks’ organization over the Parents’ Weekend. It was a first-class experience for us, and I have never felt so appreciated! Going on the ice and being received by the crowd was awesome, and the fact that the boys were there to greet us with flowers was a BIG moment.

“Karla & Chris Ivany, Ross’s billets, also have to be commended! Ross lives with a young family who attends all his games, as do Karla’s mom and Chris’ parents. He also has two little billet brothers who adore him. So Ross has an extra set of parents and three extra grandparents at most games as well as Shirley Heidt, his paternal grandmother, who lives in Salmon Arm. “We just want our boys to become great adults, and I always say to Ross that this really isn’t about hockey, but more about the people he meets and the person he can become. Every boy on every team has a story, and they are all very different. I thank you for wanting to share those stories in Silverbacks Fan News.”

Juanita Heidt FESTIVAL OF ADVENT SONGS & READINGS The traditional Festival of Advent Songs and Readings will take place at St. John’s Anglican Church on Sunday, December 7 at 7 p.m. The church is located at 170 Shuswap St. SE., half a block from the Husky gas station.

The Advent Festival has been a tradition throughout the Christian world for hundreds of years. It is the season when Christians anticipate and prepare for the miracle of the birth of Christ. A monetary offering will be collected for the S.A.F.E. Society and Second Harvest. Everyone is welcome to come and listen to the familiar stories and join in singing familiar songs. A reception will follow the service.

FREE CHRISTMAS DINNER ON DEC. 25 Do not spend Christmas day at home alone. Enjoy dinner, caroling and visiting. Members from 17 Salmon Arm churches are contributing food, and volunteers are preparing a full turkey dinner which will be served on Dec. 25 at 1 p.m. at Shuswap Community Church (Baptist) at 6th Ave. and 30th St SE. Two hundred free tickets are available at Pharmasave, Second Harvest, food banks, thrift shops, and the Seniors’ Resource Centre.

Budgeting 101 (2014 edition) Can you believe it’s December?! With the turning of the calendar we have entered the Christmas “Spending Season,” and I thought it would be prudent to remind ourselves how to budget, and help you through this time of year.

Talk about crashing the party! Oh well, I’m just trying to help you improve your financial health and hopefully in doing so, will make things less stressful for you in January when the credit card statement arrives!

The number one rule in budgeting is to actually do it, and if you are married, make sure you do it together with your spouse. It is a cliché, but it is true; “If you fail to plan, plan to fail.” It needs to be a priority, which means it will take time and energy. I once heard, to not have a plan is like driving with your eyes half-closed. You might get there, but it is going to take more time, and worse, you could crash along the way.

Ensure the plan is realistic. If you don’t have a realistic budget, you will never follow it. Don’t budget $200/month for food when you have four teenage kids. The thing with being realistic is that you may be required to make some tough decisions. However, the point to budgeting is to help you stay on track financially; no one said it will be easy.

As a starter, begin your budget with what you know. This will cover at least 75% of your budget. Items like income, mortgage payments, insurance, utilities, vehicle fuel etc. are usually predictable. If it helps, have your utilities and insurance on equal monthly payment plans.

Most of these items don’t change a lot and for the most part are fairly constant. Usually these

are not the areas that will make a big difference when it comes to trimming your budget, unless you start driving a lot less or keep your heat off all winter.

Save and start savings early.

Put some money away, even if it starts with $10 a month. Don’t wait until you “think” you can afford it; you will probably be using that same excuse 20 years later. Besides, the laws of compounding interest show how important it is to start early. For example, if a person starts saving $50 per month at the age of twenty and has an average rate of return of 5%; by the time they are 60 they will have invested a total of $24,600 and have around ~$80,500.

If the same person waited until they were 40 years old, they would have to invest nearly $180 per month to have the same amount of money by the time they are 60 and will have

invested over $45,100 instead of $24,600. The numbers don’t lie!

Finally, set some goals. Make it fun. Give yourself something to work towards. Do what my wife and I did a few years back. We had a goal of going to Disneyland and altered our budget to accommodate saving money for our trip. When grandparents asked what the kids wanted for Christmas or birthdays we told them that a contribution to our holiday fund would be great.

We explained this to the kids that they didn’t complain once.

As I always say… “Budgeting is like eating broccoli, you might not like it, but you know it is good for you.” Besides, make it fun and add some cheese. You might say, “Hey, I have started eating broccoli, but I still don’t feel any better.” Give it some time, it will work.

Letters to the Editor

The three young men whose articles I am responding to should be commended for how well they write, and for knowing as much as they do about electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and electromagnetic radio frequency radiation (RFR), which is an extremely obscure subject.

History knows there are two classes of scientists: those paid by or dependent upon industry, and independent scientists, who are committed to doing ‘honest’ research to find the truth. For anyone to know the truth about EMR and RFR, one needs to know: 1) there are two kinds of non-ionizing radiation – thermal and non-thermal; 2) Health Canada refuses to recognize non-thermal radiation and therefore does not acknowledge that people can be harmed by it; 3) whether a study was conducted by industry-paid or independent scientists?

4) what was the duration of a study? [cancers have a latency period of 10-30 years]; 5) the reputation and historical ties, if any, the

Likewise, none of them will recognize electro-hypersensitivity or “EHS,” even though Germany first recognized it in 1932, and Russia and other countries have been treating it since 1935. Even the WHO’s former Director General admitted she suffered from it (Dr. Gro Harlem Bruntland, MD, MPH).

European countries began banning cell phones from schools in 2003 and Wi-Fi in 2006. The Council of Europe (47 countries, 800 million people) urges all countries not to use Wi-Fi in schools.

Most countries of the world had followed ICNIRP’s radiation exposure limits, but in 2011, the Council of Europe urged all its members to “reconsider” this and instead opt for the radiation levels recommended in BioInitiative 2007 Report, which are 10,000 times lower/ safer than Health Canada’s Safety Code 6, the WHOs, IEEEs and FCCs! In the USA, the spread of wireless technology is championed by the FCC, whose

frequencies in the range of 1-5 gHz (where today’s wireless devices all operate – even baby monitors!) affect the brain, central nervous system and immune systems of humans especially pulsed or frequency modulated emissions, which smart meters, cell phones, Wi-Fi routers etc. all emit! Militaries have had arsenals of weapons that use these frequencies for years; they’ve even had weapons of mass destruction for 20 years or more!

Radiation from all sources is cumulative, it all adds up layer upon layer.

The human brain is exquisitely sensitive; it can detect man-made radiation as weak as 10 to the minus 15th, or 1 quadrillionth of a watt per square cm!

Honest scientists know that there is no such thing as a safe level of radiation, especially pulsed emissions – such as even baby monitors, smart meters, cell phones etc. emit!

Even though today’s wireless devices all emit non-thermal microwave radiation, none of today’s regulatory agencies, including Health Canada, will recognize that it even

industry; 6) that Health Canada, the WHO, ICNIRP and IEEE’s TC-95 SC-4 are corrupt and strive mightily to keep radiation Exposure Limits as high as possible. (Google: “Dr. Art Thansandote and ICES SC-4” also “Dr. Michael Repacholi and Corruption.”

Dr. Michael Repacholi played a key role in establishing today’s dangerously high radiation Exposure Limits for Health Canada, the WHO and ICNIRP and works closely with IEEE – all of whom share virtually identical exposure limits!

One must be cognizant of North America’s stance versus Europe’s with respect to wireless technology.

Fact: The Soviets/ Russians irradiated the U.S. Embassy in Moscow for 23 years, just 6-8 hours a day, 5 days a week, using the exact frequencies Canada/USA use today in baby monitors, cell phones, etc., at power levels less than cell phones use today!

Tom Wheeler, previously had been Pres/CEO of the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, and, before that, Pres/ CEO of National Cable & Telecommunications Association. It was he who hired Dr. George Carlo to do the industry’s own $28 million, 6-year study of cell phones (’93-’99). The results, which proved cell phone radiation is harmful, were buried; funding was cut off, and the scientists fired. Dr. Carlo’s house mysteriously burned down!

Telecom companies have known for more than 15 years that cell phone radiation is harmful and admitted as much in their patent applications which clearly linked cell phone radiation to cancers, etc.

In Canada, the champion of wireless technology is the fluently-bilingual Bernard Lord, QC, ONB, former two-time premier of New Brunswick and, reputedly, is short-listed to succeed Prime Minister Harper when the latter leaves office.

Bernard Lord is also Chairman of Ontario Power Generation (like BC Hydro), a powerful and influential man.

Insurance companies will not insure against health-related claims attributed to RFR or EMFs. I just wish I had more time, for the evidence is overwhelming, compelling and irrefutable – unless, that is, one believes what industry tells us. But then, one must remember that Health Canada promoted tobacco and asbestos for many years, and that Canada was the very last country in the world to stop selling thalidomide – thanks to Health Canada’s lack of morality and integrity!

Letters to the Editor

O come,

Wi-Fi sites & studies Saul’s new book a welcome gift

In response to my article, there was a comment from some people that my letter to the editor (page A10, November 14) was spreading fear by misinformation in comparing Wi-Fi to cigarette smoke. The truth is, I do feel fear, anger, and nausea when I think about these vulnerable babies entering into the environment that our city and school board provide for them to learn and play in. I also worry about the teachers as they also must work in that environment.

There are 6000 plus studies “and growing” in the digital libraries and of these, I have personally read over 500 and their conclusions. Check out www.citizensforsafetechnology.org, www. c4st.org or Google the many independent studies on this microwave radiation subject.

I am pleased that the young generation is taking an interest by writing their letters to the editor in what is going on in their city. I suggest anyone interested check out the renowned 2012 BioInitiative Report composed by international/ non-industry funded physicians and research scientists, also available at the above-mentioned site (under Links).

Also an excellent read is Limits Don’t Protect your Children, an excerpt from Barry Trower, British Navy specialist in microwave technology: http://www.stopthecrime.net/trower%20 to%20irish.pdf If you really want to know the ins and outs of why I make such statements, and you don’t like the feeling that you are not informed, then watch this approximately one-hour teaching video by Erica Mallory Blythe: Electromagnetic Radiation, Health and Children 2014. https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNFdZVeXw7M&feature=youtu.be After you watch this video and then look at the picture in the November 28, 2014 Lakeshore News of a young mother joyfully holding a baby up to a Wi-Fi cell tower to indicate how safe this wireless radiation is, then you will see how sick that picture really is. I STAND BY THIS LETTER and look forward to the day when the students and teachers are working in a radiation-free safe environment.

Howard Hallet, Canoe

John Ralston Saul, in his latest book “The Comeback,” has given us the best possible gift for Christmas. He paints a brilliant, balanced picture of who we Canadians really are, by telling the whole truth about where we came from. He exposes the fallacy of “living a mythology which fails to include the existence of aboriginals.” All Canadians really need to examine his view of Canadian history, starting with the proclamation of 1763 by King George III. In 1764 the Treaty of Fort Niagara, and a Wampum Belt, explained how the two nations, Britain and the indigenous people, would live together in peace and harmony.

Saul writes, “The indigenous-immigrant relationship was carefully developed over hundreds of years and largely in good faith. What followed from the 1870s on was quite different. Increasingly, non-aboriginals did not act in good faith. And each of these betrayals we undertook in order to help them disappear. For their own good.

“Most of us believe that we are now free of these attitudes. We condemn them. But it isn’t as simple as that. To free ourselves, two things must happen. We must reinstall a national narrative built upon the centrality of the aboriginal peoples’ past, present and future.

And the policies of the country must reflect that centrality, both conceptually and financially.” (p.

40) Consider the Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling June 26, 2014, that indigenous rights have not been extinguished in B.C., and the Kinder Morgan pipeline blockade, where Grand Chief Stewart Philip said, “we need to reclaim this country.” May I suggest that ALL Canadians do what Canadians have been doing from our very beginning: every nationality, sitting around a round table, work out a just, respectful, peaceful, and harmonious accommodation. But first, please read John Ralston Saul’s “The Comeback.”

Meetings and more meetings for granted, including many club members of our organization who have their priorities, and don’t realize they could lose many a hunting or fishing opportunity in the future.

The first meeting was held at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, dealing with what was proposed as a stakeholders engagement meeting.

This involved one representative from our Fish and Game Club affiliated with the BC Wildlife Federation.

Fish & Wildlife section head, wildlife management staff, and biologists and freshwater fisheries management staff. Also present were resident hunters, guides/outfitters, First Nations, anglers, trappers, and resort operators.

With the health and stocking issues of our lakes, along with other resource issues, Region #3 BCWF asked that an advisory group be formed to help with these issues, due to the pressure to do more with less on the two fisheries biologists based in Kamloops.

One of those biologists is dealing with steelhead issues; the main concern being that the advisory committee

would meet ministry staff to advise on anglers’ issues. Also, staff meetings would be reduced for clubs on angling issues, so more work could be done in the office, inventory, and field. All agreed to one meeting a year to start.

The other meeting was with the Department of Fisheries in Kamloops, with members of Region# 3 fish and game clubs attending, along with DFO staff, and representatives from the sport fishing advisory group. The meeting revolved around salmon fisheries, catch effort, openings, and stock strength.

For our region: Chinook salmon, 268 caught in Mabel Lake, with an effort of 8,317 hours. South Thompson River: 1433 caught, with an effort of 25,471 hours. Lower Shuswap River: 911 caught, with an effort of 19,043 hours (this is the number of anglers spending time fishing).

Conservation/protection staff: from April 1st to the end of angling seasons – all sectors, 503 angling checks, and 80 violations.

Salmon: 351 checks, and 33 violations.

Lower Shuswap River: 16 anglers charged, on

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley 123 counts.

At these meetings, held every three months, many topics come up from projected future openings for salmon. First Nations commercial fisheries on Kamloops Lake, Little Shuswap Lake, target chinook and sockeye. The total catch for selling/processing: 475,635.

Bands in the north are also starting commercial fishing. One large commercial fish company buys most salmon at the top of the season.

Late-run stocks bring less money per fish; however, salmon roe is highly regarded in China and Japan –this is where the bands do well. In this expanding market, other fish products are being made, including flakes, cakes, Indian candy, and smoked product.

Here and there in the Shuswap Each Friday and Saturday, Salmon Arm Fish and Game members staff a table in Piccadilly Mall, selling tickets for a draw on a boat with an electric motor and trailer.

It’s a real nice package!

SABNES endowment fund created

An endowment fund for the Salmon Arm Bay Nature Enhancement Society (SABNES) has been created. At the society’s last AGM, a motion was passed to create a fund under the agency of the Shuswap Community Foundation.

In June, SABNES made an initial deposit of $10,000. From now and into perpetuity, this fund will provide SABNES with an income source,

and members invite all lovers of the foreshore to make a donation. You may do so by making a cheque payable to Shuswap Community Foundation, PO Box 624, 450 Lakeshore Drive, Salmon Arm. Please indicate on the cheque that you wish to place the donation in the SABNES endowment fund. The Shuswap Community Foundation will send you a tax receipt.

Without a doubt, we British Columbians love our province. We go about our business knowing we are fortunate to live where we do. But, change there must be. Is it for the better? In the resource sector, such as mining and forestry, it’s not looking too good. The Mount Polley mine fiasco continues on, and the forest companies keep reaching out for more timber, through BC Timber Sales, a subsidiary of what was once Front Counter BC. A prime example of this is a timber supply at Cherryville, up Cherry ridge. Residents of that community were upset and formed a blockade; which failed, so a haul road will be going in.

White Lake residents, on the other hand, demanded a meeting with BC Timber Sales, resulting in and a change to logging practices.

Earl Bloom and I spent some time attending two meetings in Kamloops last week, with another coming up next week. These meetings pertain to Region# 3 BC Wildlife Federation, on a good number of issues affecting the future of hunting/fishing and resource issues. Many outdoor folk take this

Gypsy jazz!

Salmon Arm Jazz Club presents the Willy Gaw Quintet, playing Thursday at the Shuswap Chefs banquet room.

To say that Willy Gaw is a gypsy jazz enthusiast is an understatement. He is a fanatic practitioner of the Gypsy Jazz rhythm (or “la pompe”).

Willy has been instrumental in introducing and promoting gypsy jazz in Salmon Arm over the past 10 years. He has attended workshops and clinics with gypsy guitar masters such as Stochelo Rosenburg and Gonzalo Bergara. He has perfomed with many great musicans and groups that include Jake Verburg, Gadjology, Neil Fraser and Darrin Herting.

The quintet is made up of Willy Gaw on guitar; Richard Owings on violin; Bill Lockie on bass; Julian Veres on sax; and Jordan Dick on guitar.

The show starts at 7:00 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Elsa and Fred

After losing his wife, Fred (Christopher Plummer), a good man who has always done what he was supposed to do, feels angry and confused about what his life has amounted to. In an attempt to make things easier, his daughter Lydia (Marcia Gay Harden) decides that it would be best for him to move to a smaller apartment; this is where he meets Elsa (Shirley MacLaine) and everything changes.

Elsa, who lives life like a whirlwind of youthful boldness and beautiful madness, is determined to teach Fred that whatever time he has left to live, be it long or short, is precious and that he should enjoy it however he pleases. Surrendering to Elsa’s frenzy, Fred learns to live again and discovers that even near the end of the road, it’s never too late to fall in love and make our lifelong dreams come true.

Elsa and Fred shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 6th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

TNFC short film wins award

The Thompson-Nicola Film Commission (TNFC) is pleased to announce that TNFC Board member and Clearwater resident Ken Matheson has won the award for Best Documentary at the recent Vancouver Shorts Film Festival. Matheson won for his short film Little Moccasins.

Matheson’s short film focuses on residential schools and how modern-day elementary students from Calgary come to discover this dark chapter in Canada’s history.

Film Commissioner Victoria Weller said the win

by Matheson is doubly sweet as he is both a local filmmaker and a member of the TNFC. “We are so very proud of Ken’s accomplishment and thrilled that his talents have been recognized in this way,” said Weller. “His win is indicative of the incredible talent we have right here in the regional district.”

30 Lakeshore Dr NW, Downtown Salmon Arm (across from Lordco)

Matheson said that the win was one that he shares with the students whose journey of discovery was the focus of his documentary.

“This win illustrates the power that documentary film has to open people’s minds,” said Matheson.

“What started as a simple project to document a student field trip turned into a powerful film that looked at the residential school issues through the eyes of present-day school children. I was there to document it, but in essence it is their award more than mine.”

Matheson said that the film is still in consideration at several other film festivals around the world, and was selected as a finalist at the Canberra (Australia) Film Festival back in September. Once it has completed the festival circuit, Matheson said it will be made available to libraries, schools, and possibly online.

Recline Ridge

For this coming holiday season, and all of the wonderful meals that are planned, Recline Ridge can definitely provide the perfect wine accompaniment.

As an alternative, for those who may prefer a red wine with their festive meal, Recline

Ridge’s Gamay Noir would be an excellent choice, as would the “Make Me Blush” rose-style wine, especially with that holiday ham.

The large framed photograph in the tasting room of Sunnybrae Vineyards & Winery–a picture of a muscular farmer with his team of Belgian draft horses–immediately conveys a sense of heritage. It is a picture of the late Mac Turner, the father of Barry Turner who, with his wife, Nancy, and their family, offer a stunning view of Shuswap Lake. A stylized image of Mac Turner and his team appears on the labels of all Sunnybrae wines.

“Sunnybrae” is aptly named and boasts its own unique micro-climate, perfect for growing grapes.

The meticulously-groomed vineyard is nestled below Bastion Mountain next to the magnificent Shuswap Lake shoreline. The south-sloping volcanic ash land basks in sunshine during daylight hours and enjoys cooling breezes in the evenings.

This year’s wines include:

2012 Turner Road, a versatile estate blend displays a medley of fresh fruit, citrus, and hints of apple; the 2012 Ortega, with a superb varietal character with a long clean finish. Their 2012 Siegerrebe exhibits citrus, lychee and apricot notes. The 2012 Rose is smooth, crisp and fresh with aromas of Nancy’s Strawberry rhubarb crumble.

Their reds include a 2013 Redneck Red, which pairs well with plaid, blue jeans; the 2013 Bastian Mountain Red, deep crimson; and the 2011 Marechal Foch, containing dark berry, cherry and spice aromas, with a subtle oak finish.

Come to the sunny side and enjoy a casual fun-filled experience.

Out-of-the-box themes for your holiday party

Parties are an integral part of the holiday season, when friends and family gather to celebrate and give thanks. For holiday hosts, parties are a great opportunity to make the season even more festive with an event that guests won’t soon forget. The following are just a few themes to make your holiday party as memorable as it is merry.

• Christmas sweater party: Christmas sweater parties have grown in popularity over the last decade, when revelers have tried to outdo one another with the most outrageous holiday-themed sweater. Give prizes for the most outlandish sweater and let guests know early on so they can begin their hunt for a holiday sweater that’s so ugly or outrageous you can’t help but love it.

Friday, December 5, 2014 Lakeshore News A15

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

• Christmas costume party: Costume parties aren’t just for Halloween. This holiday season, consider making your holiday bash a costume party, encouraging guests to dress up as their favorite characters from holiday tales like “Frosty the Snowman,” “A Christmas Carol” or any of the host of beloved holiday legends.

• Caribbean Christmas: The weather come the holiday season may be the one thing to put a damper on the festivities. To combat blue feelings from potentially inclement weather, consider a Caribbean theme for your holiday party this season. Rather than wearing sweaters and long pants, wear beach attire and give the party a touch of the Caribbean. Outfit your home in beach decor and serve food and drinks reminiscent of the Caribbean instead of

more traditional holiday fare like eggnog and gingerbread cookies.

• Film festival: Holiday movies are another tradition of the season, so why not invite friends and family over for a holiday film marathon? Include classics like “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “A Christmas Story” and encourage guests to submit their own favorites for consideration.

• Christmas karaoke: For those who love to belt out their favorite holiday tunes, consider throwing a Christmas karaoke party that allows guests to perform their own renditions of their favorite Christmas carols. Purchase a home karaoke set and ask guests in advance of the party if there are any particular songs they’d like to perform.

Larch Hills Winery

Larch Hills Winery is a landbased, family-run vineyard and winery owned by Jack and Hazel Manser. All of their product is proudly made from 100 per cent British Columbia grapes, either from the main vineyard just south of Salmon Arm (also the location of the winery and family home), or from contracted vineyards farther south in the Okanagan Valley. All wines are made and bottled at the premises at Salmon Arm. Larch Hills Winery specializes in cool climate grape growing, and has varieties that are generally not available in other parts of B.C. In 1987, the land was total bush.

Nobody had grown European varietal wine grapes this far north before. In 1992, after experimenting to find the right types of grape for the local climate, planting began in earnest. The winery opened in April 1997 with a small release of what has become a signature wine for them – Ortega (vintage 1995). Since then, many

other varieties have been added to the list of releases.

Visitors are welcome each day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for tasting and taking in the superb view of the valleys below. You are also welcome to self-tour around the vineyard. In winter, call ahead to check road conditions.

Jack and Hazel are hosting a Christmas Open House this year on Saturday and Sunday, December 6th and 7th, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Shop for your beverages for the holiday season. Hot wine and delicious goodies will be served, as well as normal wine tasting samples.

You are

Keep your pets safe and healthy this holiday season

’Tis the season in B.C., and as British Columbians gear up to celebrate, the BC SPCA is reminding pet guardians that the holidays can be hazardous for pets.

“We want everyone to enjoy the holidays, including the furry members of your family,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. Holiday pet safety tips include: • Bones are bad: Avoid giving bones to your dogs or cats, particularly turkey bones. Poultry bones easily splinter and can cause serious injury, while bone fragments can cause intestinal blockages or lacerations.

• Thoughtful treats: Chocolate and other sweets should not be given to animals. Chocolate contains theobromine, a chemical that can be deadly to cats and dogs, though not harmful to humans. The best thing you can do for your pet over the holidays is to keep them on their

regular diet. Look for healthy animal treats instead of giving your animal companions cookies, rich snacks or sweets meant for people.

• Poisonous plants: Many popular holiday plants are poisonous to animals including mistletoe, holly, ornamental pepper and Christmas rose. Remember to keep these plants out of reach of pets – especially birds.

Poinsettias are not poisonous to pets or people. This has been a long-standing rumour perpetuated for decades.

Some pets may have a sensitivity to the latex contained in the plant and may get diarrhea or vomit.

• Tinsel is trouble: Having a Christmas tree and pets can be troublesome. Ensure the tree is well-secured and try to place the decorations above paw height. Using string to hang decorations instead of hooks helps, as hooks can be easily dislodged. If possible, use non-breakable ornaments. Avoid using tinsel or angel hair – cats

and dogs will ingest both, which can cause intestinal problems. Cords for lights should be made inaccessible to pets, especially chewing puppies and exploring kittens. If you add chemicals to the water reservoir of your Christmas tree to help it last longer, keep in mind those chemicals are toxic to animals and keep the reservoir covered.

• Toy watch: Avoid purchasing pet toys with small or soft pieces that can be chewed and swallowed. Nylon bones tend to splinter less than plastic ones. Be sure to inspect pet toys regularly and discard deteriorating ones.

Local winter wine tours Ovino Winery

Don’t mis extraord s our inar y

Case S

pecial

Ovino Winery is located in Salmon Valley.

Owners John and Catherine Koopmans, daughter Jessica, and her husband Don Gawley, helping with the day-to-day operations, along with other family and friends helping at harvest time, surely makes this a family project. Be sure to come by their open house December 6th & 7th, 11:00 a.m. – 5 p.m. or stop by some time during the holiday season to see this week’s ad for days and times.

Ovino holiday picks: 2013 Black Riesling a cousin of Pinot Noir

and has an intense cherry and currant aroma.

Perfect with a cheese plate and with festive roast dinner.

Momento is tantalizing to red and white wine lovers alike. Perfect for all your holiday entertaining.

Marechal Foch 2012. Enjoy the butterscotch notes of this wine while you curl up beside your warm fireplace. This wine is great with a wide variety of foods.

2013 Blush is a perfect off dry blend, a must with your turkey or game feast.

red • white • rose

Recline Ridge

For this coming holiday season, and all of the wonderful meals that are planned, Recline Ridge can definitely provide the perfect wine accompaniment. What Christmas dinner would be complete without a wine to pair with the roast turkey? Recline’s Shuswap Serenade is a proven favourite. As an alternative, for those who may prefer a red wine with their festive meal, Recline

Christmas in TAPPEN

Ridge’s Gamay Noir would be an excellent choice, as would the “Make Me Blush” rose-style wine, especially with that holiday ham.

With the excellent selection of wines available, there is definitely something at Recline Ridge for every palate and food-pairing possibility.

Recline Ridge will be open on December 6th and 7th, as well as December 20th to 22nd.

Oretga l Siegerrebe l Rosé l Bastion l Marechal Foch l Redneck Red l Turner Road 250.835.8373 • 3849 Sunnybrae Canoe Point Road, Tappen • www.sunnybraewinery.com

The large framed photograph in the tasting room of Sunnybrae Vineyards & Winery–a picture of a muscular farmer with his team of Belgian draft horses–immediately conveys a sense of heritage. It is a picture of the late Mac Turner, the father of Barry Turner who, with his wife, Nancy, and their family, offer a stunning view of Shuswap Lake. A stylized image of Mac Turner and his team appears on the labels of all Sunnybrae wines.

“Sunnybrae” is aptly named and boasts its own unique micro-climate, perfect for growing grapes.

The meticulously-groomed vineyard is nestled below Bastion Mountain next to the magnificent Shuswap Lake shoreline. The south-sloping volcanic ash land basks in sunshine during daylight hours and enjoys cooling breezes in the evenings.

This year’s wines include:

2012 Turner Road, a versatile estate blend displays a medley of fresh fruit, citrus, and hints of apple; the 2012 Ortega, with a superb varietal character with a long clean finish. Their 2012 Siegerrebe exhibits citrus, lychee and apricot notes. The 2012 Rose is smooth, crisp and fresh with aromas of Nancy’s Strawberry rhubarb crumble.

Their reds include a 2013 Redneck Red, which pairs well with plaid, blue jeans; the 2013 Bastian Mountain Red, deep crimson; and the 2011 Marechal Foch, containing dark berry, cherry and spice aromas, with a subtle oak finish.

Come to the sunny side and enjoy a casual fun-filled experience.

Sunnybrae Wineries are located at 3849 Sunnybrae Canoe Point Road, Tappen, or visit them online at www.sunnybraewinery.com.

Out-of-the-box themes for your holiday party

Parties are an integral part of the holiday season, when friends and family gather to celebrate and give thanks. For holiday hosts, parties are a great opportunity to make the season even more festive with an event that guests won’t soon forget. The following are just a few themes to make your holiday party as memorable as it is merry.

• Christmas sweater party: Christmas sweater parties have grown in popularity over the last decade, when revelers have tried to outdo one another with the most outrageous holiday-themed sweater. Give prizes for the most outlandish sweater and let guests know early on so they can begin their hunt for a holiday sweater that’s so ugly or outrageous you can’t help but love it.

Friday, December 5, 2014 Lakeshore News A15

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

• Christmas costume party: Costume parties aren’t just for Halloween. This holiday season, consider making your holiday bash a costume party, encouraging guests to dress up as their favorite characters from holiday tales like “Frosty the Snowman,” “A Christmas Carol” or any of the host of beloved holiday legends.

• Caribbean Christmas: The weather come the holiday season may be the one thing to put a damper on the festivities. To combat blue feelings from potentially inclement weather, consider a Caribbean theme for your holiday party this season. Rather than wearing sweaters and long pants, wear beach attire and give the party a touch of the Caribbean. Outfit your home in beach decor and serve food and drinks reminiscent of the Caribbean instead of

more traditional holiday fare like eggnog and gingerbread cookies.

• Film festival: Holiday movies are another tradition of the season, so why not invite friends and family over for a holiday film marathon? Include classics like “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “A Christmas Story” and encourage guests to submit their own favorites for consideration.

• Christmas karaoke: For those who love to belt out their favorite holiday tunes, consider throwing a Christmas karaoke party that allows guests to perform their own renditions of their favorite Christmas carols. Purchase a home karaoke set and ask guests in advance of the party if there are any particular songs they’d like to perform.

Larch Hills Winery

Larch Hills Winery is a landbased, family-run vineyard and winery owned by Jack and Hazel Manser. All of their product is proudly made from 100 per cent British Columbia grapes, either from the main vineyard just south of Salmon Arm (also the location of the winery and family home), or from contracted vineyards farther south in the Okanagan Valley. All wines are made and bottled at the premises at Salmon Arm. Larch Hills Winery specializes in cool climate grape growing, and has varieties that are generally not available in other parts of B.C. In 1987, the land was total bush.

Nobody had grown European varietal wine grapes this far north before. In 1992, after experimenting to find the right types of grape for the local climate, planting began in earnest. The winery opened in April 1997 with a small release of what has become a signature wine for them – Ortega (vintage 1995). Since then, many

other varieties have been added to the list of releases.

Visitors are welcome each day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for tasting and taking in the superb view of the valleys below. You are also welcome to self-tour around the vineyard. In winter, call ahead to check road conditions.

Jack and Hazel are hosting a Christmas Open House this year on Saturday and Sunday, December 6th and 7th, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Shop for your beverages for the holiday season. Hot wine and delicious goodies will be served, as well as normal wine tasting samples.

When I went into the garage to pay for the service call, the price was a hug! How is that for assistance with a smile? There are good folks! - A. B.

Blackie was a family man through and through and somebody I will always look up too.

He was a role model for us all and will be truly missed. We will love you Blackie forever! No more pain, my friend.”

Lakeshore News travels to... Agra, India Sue Kershaw of Salmon Arm traveled to India in October. She visited a number of places including the Taj Mahal. She tells the story of the photo she submitted for Travels To: “I had my picture taken with the front page of the Lakeshore News at the Taj Mahal on October 26 but the story didn’t end there.

As my friend clicked the photo, I noticed a fellow taking the same picture, but I didn’t question his interest in me.

My friend and I spent the next hour in awe at the beauty of the Taj and at the fact we were actually there.

As we rejoined our group, several people exclaimed that the police had confiscated our photographer’s camera because of my photo with the Lakeshore News. Vicky, our tour manager, hurried me off – along a dark hallway in the massive entry gate, up a dark staircase, and into a dark office backlit by the sun shining in a window. A stern official sat at an impressively large desk and gruffly berated me for my lack of judgement. He demanded that I hand over the

offending front page and remove the offensive pictures from my camera. Of course, I quickly complied.

I didn’t realize who the fellow beside me was until Vicky asked if the photographer could get his camera back. The official harshly said that the young man would have to suffer some punishment first. At that point, Vicky, a diminutive woman with lots of poise and pizzazz, burst out with “If you don’t give him back his camera, I’ll cry.” I was astounded – her statement was so out of character–but the ploy obviously worked because the official handed the camera back with no further comment.

I am still not sure why the picture was forbidden. I can only guess that the powers-that-be don’t want the Taj Mahal associated with any political movement – such as Pakistan vs India over Kashmir and Hindus vs Sikhs.”

Sue receives $10 for having her picture printed, and is entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2014. Travels To payments must

be picked up in person at Lakeshore News, 161 Hudson Ave NE.

By Peter Kociuba The Podollan Inn Peewee Tier 2 Silvertips played a pair of tough games against division leading opponents on the weekend, traveling to Penticton on Saturday before welcoming West Kelowna to Sicamous on Sunday.

Saturday’s tilt saw the Tips drop a close 2-1 decision to the hometown Junior Vee’s. Both goaltender’s shone; Rod May for the Tips keeping them in it with spectacular save after save to keep it close for the visitors. Colby Feist snared the lone marker for Salmon Arm, driving into the offensive zone after winning a neutral zone faceoff before depositing the puck in the net.

Sunday’s game vs the Warriors ended with a much better result for the Silvertips, as they blanked the visitors 6-0 in Sicamous. Feist opened the scoring just 7 minutes into the first period, Ty Sanford setting him up in front of the net on the power play. Feist would get his second of the game just 2 minutes later on a breakaway, this time short-handed. Sanford would get his first of two on the afternoon just prior to the mid-game ice clean, out waiting the Westside netminder before wristing it to the back of the net. Taylor Howard would drive down the wing and Lucas Piekarczyk would pick up the rebound, flipping the puck up and over the sprawing goaltender for the Tip’s 4th goal just 3 minutes later.

Mason Balon’s hard shot missed the net, but had enough mustard to rebound off the back boards and out front for Feist to seal the hat-trick just 17 seconds later. Sanford and Balon would combine for the Silvertip’s final goal of the game with just one minute left in the second, Balon’s low hard shot rebounding off the goalie’s pads for Sanford to slip into the net. Gabriel MurrelsAllaway was rock-solid in net for Salmon Arm, picking up the shutout.

The Silvertips are idle this weekend before facing Penticton at home the following week.

Barbara Ellen Shannon SHANNON, Barbara Ellen passed away with her family at her side on Saturday, November 22, 2014, at the age of 62 years at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm following a short bout with cancer. Barb was born in Vancouver, BC on April 23, 1952. She grew up in Richmond and had worked with the BC Government for 28 years in the Ministry of Environment and the Liquor Control Board. Barb, Terry and Mike spent many happy working years in Nanaimo, Cranbrook and Langley. She moved to Tappen three years ago and slipped into retirement and “the Shuswapian way of life”. Barb’s Scottish Roots and the Hebenton Clan were a very close and important part of her life. She enjoyed the outdoors, the mountains, hiking trails, kayaking and discovering all that the Shuswap had to offer. She was a member of the Shuswap Lady Striders and loved to quilt.

She was a devoted wife, mom and grandma.

Barb’s sense of humour and zest for life made our lives better every day. Barb will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 42 years, Terry; son, Mike (Mildred) of Vancouver; granddaughter, Ria; brother Jim (Susan) Smith; nephews, Greg (Sally), Rob (Susannah) and Matt (Jen); niece Jen; and great nieces, Emma and Jazra. She was predeceased by her parents, Norm and Frances Smith, and her sister, Patsy. A celebration of Barb’s life will be held at the Carlin Hall on Saturday, December 13 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. If so desired, contributions in memory of Barb may be made to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation or the BC Cancer Society.

Online condolences can be sent through Barb’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

Sports Day at SASCU Rec Centre

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Salmon Arm Recreation was one of the many recipients of the RBC (Royal Bank of Canada) Learn to Play Project Program Grants. The RBC Learn to Play Project is a commitment to provide kids with the right start in sport to enable them to play and become healthy and active for life. The Learn to Play project also understands that children need to learn fundamental movement skills to develop the confidence and competence to participate in sport and physical activity. Salmon Arm Recreation’s Learn to Play initiative is called “Making Movement Matter.”

Through this initiative the SASCU Recreation

Centre will be offering a variety of children’s programs to development physical literacy in children. ‘Physical Literacy’ is the gateway to physical activity.

Celebrating RBC Sports Day was the first event, held last Friday at the SASCU Recreation Centre.Children aged 2–14 came to try out different sports such as tennis, basketball shooting, soccer shooting, baseball batting. Recreation centre staff also measured sprint speed (about 20 metres with timing cameras), vertical jump, flexibility and balance, as part of fitness testing. It was also National Jersey Day.

Homelessness partnering strategy

Our Government introduced a new phase of the ‘Homelessness Partnering Strategy’ (HPS).

Despite false claims that funding has been cut, we’ve renewed funding under this program for the next five years, with a focus on a “Housing First” approach.

Through this renewed commitment, communities will continue to receive the same amount of funding for programs to prevent and reduce homelessness as they did previously. “Housing First” is a proven, evidence-based model and will deliver better results for the most vulnerable. It worked internationally; and has shown clear success where it has been tried in pilot projects here in Canada.

“Housing First” involves moving homeless individuals from the streets and short-term shelters into immediate and permanent housing, while offering support for addictions, mental illnesses, and life skills development. Evidence has shown that it’s more effective to address issues, such as lack of education and training and mental health or substance abuse issues, when the individual is first in stable housing.

While “Housing First” will be the cornerstone of our new HPS, communities will retain flexibility to invest in other proven approaches that

mpreport

by Colin Mayes reduce homelessness at the local level, such as shelters and transitional housing.

The Opposition frequently criticizes our Conservative initiatives, including “Housing First”, in spite of the international evidence of its effectiveness. But that’s because - aside from raising taxes and legalizing marijuana - they don’t actually have any ideas of their own.

Our Government makes no apologies and is proud to be ensuring hard-working taxpayer dollars are directed to where they will have the largest, long-term impact.

SUDOKU

CAPRICORN

Find a balance between caution and carelessness, Capricorn. You cannot control every situation, and this week you may have something unexpected come your way.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, if you’re on the lookout for new work opportunities, look no further than your own supervisor for guidance. He or she may be your biggest ally.

PISCES

You have boundless creativity, Pisces, and this week you get to channel it into a special project.

Don’t overextend yourself until everything gets done.

ARIES

Aries, expect to be called into action several times this week. You may prefer to avoid the spotlight, but that won’t be the case this week. Make the most of this opportunity.

PUZZLE NO. SU14C280

HOW TO PLAY:

TAURUS

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. SU14C280 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!

Taurus, all of a sudden you are so busy it can be difficult to find a few moments to rest. Thankfully, you are able to keep up with all of the activity.

GEMINI

Gemini, seek advice from a trusted confidante as you contemplate a major lifestyle change. This person will provide valuable insight as you look to make the best decision possible.

CANCER

Cancer, going solo on a project may not seem like the ideal situation. But you don’t want to be distracted this week, so going it alone is the best way to tackle the tasks at hand.

LEO

Leo, following your gut may not always work out, but this week everything works out for the best.

Curb impulsiveness as much as you can, though.

VIRGO

Virgo, although you might be dreaming of a lavish vacation and an escape from the daily grind, it’s just not possible at this time. Start saving for this dream excursion.
