CAPRICORN

Spend the week in as much quiet contemplation as you can manage, Capricorn. You have a few big questions to work out and can only think when you have private time.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, dissatisfaction at work has you wondering if things would be different elsewhere.

Sometimes a change of attitude can give you an entirely new perspective.

PISCES

Pisces, a loved one comes to you seeking guidance this week, but don’t be bummed if they ultimately do not heed your advice.

ARIES

Take a leadership role on a work assignment, Aries. If your interest in work has been waning of late, a more active role may help you change your perspective.

PUZZLE NO. SU151290

TAURUS

Taurus, there is nothing you cannot accomplish this week. The sky is the limit in terms of your potential. All you need to do is focus your energy on a particular task.

GEMINI

Let something that’s been bugging you cool off for the time being, Gemini. There’s plenty of time to revisit the situation later, and you will be glad you took some time away.

CANCER

You’re willing to give a loved one the benefit of the doubt when that person makes a proposal that seems to come out of nowhere. Your patience will be appreciated.

LEO

Expect to be surprised by good news, Leo. Share your good fortune with others this week, and you will realize the good news will prove even more enjoyable.

VIRGO

You may benefit from a change of scenery, Virgo.

If you have the time, book a getaway to an exotic locale and make the most of this time to rest, relax and recharge.

Jam the GM with books

Throughout the month of January, community members, businesses, organizations, and schools are encouraged to donate gently used children’s books and “jam” them in the back of the designated GM truck in the Salmon Arm GM showroom.

During Family Literacy Week (January 24 to 31) a GM vehicle will also be parked in the Piccadilly Mall by the library. Children’s book donations can then be made at either the dealership or Piccadilly Mall.

Book drop-off locations: Salmon Arm GM (month of January) Piccadilly Mall (Jan. 24–31) Salmon Arm Silverbacks Game (Jan. 17)

Sicamous Eagles Game (Jan. 30) At the end of the week, all of the books will be collected, sorted, and then later distributed to local children’s organizations to be given to community children to take home.

The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) has partnered with Salmon Arm GM, the Mall at Piccadilly, the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, and the Sicamous Eagles to help promote the “Jam the GM” Children’s Book Drive.

Family Literacy Day is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 and held annually on January 27th. This special day promotes the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. ABC Life Literacy Canada is encouraging Canadian families to have “15 Minutes of Fun” learning together. Learning can happen at any time. Practicing literacy together for just 15 minutes a day has tremendous benefits for both children and parents.

One just has to enter our local health food stores and it is easy to be overwhelmed by the number of vitamins, minerals and supplements now available. While the vast majority of them are beneficial and can be used to treat any number of different health challenges and conditions, it is important to not overlook basic vitamins and minerals.

This week I would like to discuss the benefits and importance of Vitamin C. One of the main roles of vitamin C is to help tissue repair and growth. That means it helps heal wounds and repair and maintain our skin, bones, and organ tissues. Also, vitamin C is required for your body to create collagen – an essential part of skin, ligaments and blood vessels.

Vitamins C is also important because it is an antioxidant. While we are aware antioxidants are important for health, not everyone knows how they work. Processes in your body can produce harmful substances called “free radicals” which damage parts of cells including DNA, enzymes and proteins. Free radical damage contributes to many degenerative diseases including the 2 big ones – cancer and heart disease. Vitamin C and other antioxidants are extremely beneficial to health because they prevent this damage.

In addition to the various benefits mentioned above, high levels of vitamin C have also been found to help prevent stroke and cancer.

Many plants and animals are able to produce their own vitamin C; however, humans are one species that cannot. This means we must consume it in our diets in order to ensure we maintain adequate levels. Obviously we can (and should) supplement with extra vitamin C, but it can also be obtained from many organic foods such as citrus fruit, tomatoes, cantaloupe, sweet and white potatoes, broccoli, peppers and leafy greens. It is also important to note that the body cannot store extra amounts so it is important to consume it every day.

Coldest Night walk in February

The Salvation Army and Second Harvest are encouraging Salmon Arm residents to bundle up and raise cold, hard cash for the Coldest Night of the Year (walk). A family-friendly winter fundraising event for Salmon Arm’s homeless, hungry and hurting, the walk takes place on the evening of February 21, 2015.

Taking part in the Coldest Night of the Year will help participants understand the experience of surviving on the streets during a cold Canadian winter, while raising funds to aid the work of the Salvation Army and Second Harvest in providing much-needed support to members of our community. Coldest Night walks will be taking place on the same night in an anticipated 80 cities from coast to coast.

The Salmon Arm walk begins at City Hall with registrations taking place at the United Church once again. The walk ends at the Seniors’ 5th Ave Activity Centre, located at

5th Avenue, for a warm celebration meal. Donning iconic blue-andwhite toques, participants will walk a 5 km or 10 km route, and will warm up with free toasty drinks at Starbucks’ along the way.

This is the Salvation Army and Second Harvest’s fourth year taking part in the Coldest Night of the Year, and they’re aiming to raise $50,000 for their work with the hungry and homeless in Salmon Arm. An expected 300 walkers and 30 teams, including staff and friends of The Salvation Army and Second Harvest, are expected to brave the cold winter’s night.

The Salvation Army and Second Harvest have been serving Salmon Arm for many years, and the boost in funds from the Coldest Night of the Year will benefit their clients at a time of year known historically for low levels of giving.

To register to walk or to start a team, go to www.coldestnightoftheyear.org

Let’s save $5000

I recently saved a husband $5000.00 by my asking his wife two questions. They were about to buy a new Corian countertop and came to me for help choosing a new backsplash.

Question 1: I asked her, “Why do you want a new counter; what’s wrong with the one you have?” Her answer: “I don’t really want one, I love the one I have and there is nothing wrong with it, but my kitchen is dated and everyone else is getting new counters.”

Question 2: “When you walk into your kitchen, is there something there that really bugs you?” Her answer: “Yes, my backsplash. I hate it.” Her current backsplash is 6-by-6-inch tiles, some green and some blue.

So then we had a conversation about the possibility that it wasn’t the countertop and backsplash, but rather just the backsplash that was the real problem for her. And we came to an agreement that we would solve the problem without a new countertop.

But now more questions popped up. What should she use as a backsplash that would not fight the some-kind-of-beige ceramic floor tile in the kitchen or the green countertop but work with her fairly new cabinets, which are, in her words,

“white.”

Sounds daunting, doesn’t it? Here is how we are going to solve the dilemma. With samples of white paint in hand, we will compare whites to find out what particular colour of white her cabinets are.

There are four kinds of white: bluewhite, true white, off-white and cream-white. Blue-white and truewhite work with greys and blacks.

Off-white and cream-white work with the browns of the world. What we choose for the backsplash has to bridge between the cabinets and the countertop. White subway tiles with cream-white cabinets and an earthy-green counter just won’t cut it. Similarly, if the cabinets are true white, a biscuit subway tile might look just plain old dirty. It’s going to be tricky, but she knows, now, that the counter and backsplash must look like they belong together – so that neither one hollers “Look at ME, Look at ME!” And, the backsplash must work with the cabinets.

With any luck at all, her cabinets are either off-white or cream white.

Then a soft beige subway tile will be just perfect. And the cost will be a whole lot less than the new Corian.

I’ll post some pictures on Designsewlutions.ca of what happens when you try to mix whites.

WHY I HOPE TO DIE AT 85 Following a university professor’s article in The Atlantic, I, too, have set an age when I am planning to die: at 85. The 57-year-old professor has a lot to see and do before he hopes to die at 75. He says living too long is a loss. “We are no longer remembered as vibrant and engaged but as feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic.”

Professor Ezekiel Emanuel, oncologist and bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania, plans to have his memorial service before he dies. After he dies, his survivors can have their own memorial service if they want – that is not his business.

He rejects the American obsession with exercising, doing puzzles, consuming various juices and protein concoctions, sticking to strict diets, and popping vitamins and supplements, all in a valiant effort to cheat death and prolong life as long as possible. They may live longer than their parents, but they are likely to be more incapacitated. It does not sound very desirable to him.

HEALTH CARE HAS SLOWED THE DYING PROCESS Over the past 50 years, health care hasn’t slowed the aging process so much as it has slowed the dying process.

Prof. Emanuel, writing in The Atlantic, says death usually results from complications of chronic illness – heart disease, cancer, emphysema, stroke, Alzheimers, diabetes.

Mental functions such as processing, memory, and problem-solving, slow at 75. After the author’s father, a physician, had a cardiac bypass at 77, his walking, talking and humour got slower. Everything seemed sluggish. He no longer makes rounds at the hospital or teaches, but he told his son he is happy.

LIVING TOO LONG WEIGHS DOWN THE OFFSPRING Most adults who are caught between the care of children and parents are experiencing a real emotional weight, writes Prof. Emanuel. Living parents occupy the role of head of the family. When they live to 95, it is hard for their grown children to become the head. They must caretake into their own retirement.

“How do we want to be remembered by our children and grandchildren? We wish our children to remember us in our prime. Active, vigorous, engaged, animated, astute, enthusiastic, funny, warm, loving. Not stooped and sluggish, forgetful and repetitive, constantly asking: What did she say? We want to be remembered as independent, not experienced as burdens.”

If you wish to read the professor’s 5,000-word article, go to www.theatlantic.com and search for Die at 75. Or you can write to me at sallys1@telus.net and I will send it to you as an attachment in Word. Or you can buy a sixpage photocopy from me by calling 250-832-4831. I will have copies in my car, so ask me when you see me.

MY STEPS TO DIE AT 85 I refuse to have a mammogram or flu shot. I refuse to take statins to lower my very high cholesterol, which is a family trait. I refuse to have routine blood work, chest X-ray or pap test. I do not need my blood pressure taken by a doctor. I do not have dozens of prescription pills in a plastic tray with compartments for morning, noon, suppertime and bedtime every day of the week, filled by a pharmacy; I just take one blood-pressure pill a day.

After 85, I will say no to antibiotics. Death from infec-

tions is quick and relatively painless. I have a Do Not Resuscitate order signed. I have started a collection of memorabilia to display at my memorial.

My friends may want to convince me to live as long as possible, but I’m sure my children will not. Their father died on Oct. 5, 2014 at age 81 from complications due to dementia, and I know they would not want their mother to die a similar prolonged death.

RAGING GRANNIES PROVIDE SOLAR COOKERS FOR LESOTHO GRANNIES RAISING GRANDKIDS Rural housewives in Lesotho, in southern Africa, walk up to eight kilometres to gather wood to cook meals to feed the grandkids they are looking after because their parents died of AIDS. The Raging Grannies of Vancouver have been collecting funds with which to buy sun-stoves and pots to make life easier for grannies.

Trees with which they cook are dwindling, but there is the blessing of the sun. Even the women who cook on kerosene stoves could benefit from solar box cookers: especially in a rural environment. Money for kerosene is rare and sometimes the shops in the mountains are out of kerosene for up to two months.

Island Tides, the newspaper that connects all the islands near Vancouver Island, has a report about Salt Spring’s Raging Grannies who have been supporting this project for the last nine years. Each year, two Canadian volunteers pay their own way to South Africa where they purchase the stoves and pots and foodstuffs, and then take them to locally chosen villages in Lesotho for demonstration and distribution to the neediest grandmothers.

In February, 2014, two women from Quebec took SunStove training to Lesotho. They were funded by the Raging Grannies of Vancouver. All donations go to the project. None is used for administration. At the workshop, 25 sunstoves were set out and grannies were trained in cooking on them. The stoves can also be used to dry fruit which could be sold to fruit buyers as an income-generator.

Search the internet for Lesotho solar cooking and see a picture of the training. Go to www.islandtides.com, year-end edition, and read about the solar cooker project on page 4. Or contact Jill Willmont at 250-537-8343 or jillawillmott@gmail.com.

VICTORIA’S EMPRESS HOTEL PURCHASED BY A VANCOUVER COUPLE Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria is just the Empress Hotel since its purchase in June, 2014. New owners are Vancouver condominium developer and philanthropist Nat Bosa and his wife, Flora. It was Flora who found the hotel for sale on the internet. Thirty million dollars in improvements on infrastructure are planned for the 106-year-old national historic site and landmark on Victoria’s inner harbour. It has a staff of 500.

RECYCLABLE COLLECTION HAS CHANGED In Salmon Arm, these items can now be placed unsorted for curbside pickup: rinsed milk/milk alternative containers, plastic and coated. Completely empty aerosol cans such as from hairspray, deodorant, shaving cream, air freshener and food-based aerosols. Rinsed frozen food packaging such as from ice-cream. Microwavable paper containers such as paper bowls. Spiral wound paper cans

and lids such as from frozen juice, coffee cans, nuts, chips and baby formula; put lids in loose. Disposable paper-based cups and lids. Clean pizza boxes, cereal-type boxes but not waxed produce boxes.

In Salmon Arm, these must be sorted and taken to the depot: plastic bags, over wrap from mattresses, soft drinks, dry cleaning, bread, coloured and white Styrofoam, clear and coloured non-deposit glass bottles and jars.

These are NOT accepted at depots: zipper-lock bags, bubble wrap, biodegradable plastic bags, plastic shipping envelopes, garbage bags, foam peanuts, blue or pink foam board insulation, shrink wrap for meats, glasses, dishes, cookware, window glass, mirrors, ceramics.

WHAT’S WORSE: BAD TENANT OR BAD LANDORD? I had written about problem tenants, then saw the above headline in Victoria’s daily paper. The Shuswap area has problem landlords. I received five complaints from frustrated tenants.

There is a B.C. Landlord’s Association that is part of Canada Landlord’s Association. This is the kind of advice on its website: BC landlords, make sure you rent to good tenants with TVS credit checks! TVS will do a thorough check on potential tenants. More about this in a future column.

CAN YOU SPARE A KIDNEY? SURE YOU CAN The first living organ transplant in BC was performed in 1976, when a mother donated a kidney to her daughter.

Since then, hundreds of living transplants have occurred.

Since 1999 more kidney patients have received transplants from living donors then those transplanted from deceased donors.

Right now, 357 people in BC are waiting for a kidney.

When I was in nurse’s training, I learned that a person has five times more kidney that is needed to function normally.

BC Transplant, in partnership with the Kidney Foundation of Canada has introduced the Live Organ Donor Expense Reimbursement Program. This is the first program of its kind in North America, designed to reimburse donors for costs directly related to the donation process, helping break down one of the barriers to living donation. Learn more at www.transplant.bc.ca.

If you are interested in receiving more information about becoming a living donor, call one of the two living donor kidney programs in BC: Vancouver General Hospital: 604-875-5182 or St. Paul’s Hospital: 604-8069027.

MEN’S & WOMEN’S HAIRCUTS AROUND $14 While getting a new computer board installed in my car in Kamloops, I visited Sahali Mall and saw this interesting sign outside a barbershop: “Abram’s Hair Design, $14 unisex hair cuts.” Yes, that means a woman’s haircut costs the same as a man’s. No washing, no hairspray and no appointments. You wait your turn.

Two local Air Cadets awarded scholarships

Two local 222 Air Cadets, Deverick Clingwall and Brayden Koprowsky were recently awarded flying continuation scholarships at the annual Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron (RCAC) 222 Shuswap Christmas banquet on Sunday, December 14th, 2014 in Salmon Arm. In August 2014, Deverick Clingwall earned his glider pilot’s license through the Air Cadet program at Comox, BC. Deverick was awarded the Sabre Pilot’s Association Award of $500 from

the Air Cadet League of Canada to help offset costs involved to keep his glider pilot’s license current.

In August 2014, Brayden Koprowsky earned his private pilot’s license through the Air Cadet program at Boundary Bay, BC. Brayden was awarded the Air Transport Association of Canada Award which is worth thirty hours of flying time at an approved flying school. The cash equivalent would be approximately $2500. Brayden was also awarded the Robert Bruce Marr Award from the Air Cadet

2015 TFSA update

I still can’t believe it’s 2015.

Time is sure flying. In fact, my oldest son will be getting his driver’s license in six months! I’m sure I’ll have a few articles to write about that.

One good thing with the turning of the calendar is the fact we are allowed to contribute another $5,500 into a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). So if you are keeping track this is now the seventh year the TFSA has been around and I like to keep reminding you about it because it’s the best savings vehicle around.

So once again here are the details.

1. Every Canadian 18 and over with a social insurance number qualifies.

2. Each qualified person will receive $5,000 of contribution room each year from 2009 to 2012 and $5,500 per year for 2013 to 2015.

3. If unused, the contribution room will accumulate. As of 2015, the maximum contribution available is $36,500. So if you suddenly get a large inheritance or something and haven’t contributed any funds to the TFSA yet, you could put the whole $36,500 in this year.

4. You can hold the same types of investments inside a TFSA as you do in an RSP. 5. Any income earned on the money invested in a TFSA is tax free; even if you decide to pull the money out of the TFSA. 6. If you pull money out of the TFSA, you can replace the funds you pulled out without using “new” contribution room. The only stipulation is you have to wait until the next calendar year.

I was asked “What if I don’t have $5,500 to start the account?” It doesn’t matter. Put whatever you can afford into it. Better yet, set up a monthly contribution of $25, $50 or $100 that is taken directly from your chequing account. Remember, if you don’t put the entire $5,500 into the account in a given year, your unused contribution room will carry forward and be added to next year’s $5,500. As noted above, if you haven’t contributed to a TFSA to date; you could contribute up to $36,500.

Do you have money currently invested that is non-registered and isn’t locked into a term deposit? By this I mean a regular investment that isn’t an RSP or RIF. Do you also have TFSA contribution room available? If this is the case, why don’t you redeem some of your non-registered funds and maximize your TFSA? It is better to be earning income inside a TFSA and avoiding tax than it is to be paying tax on income earned from a regular investment. NOTE: Before you withdraw your funds, be sure to check the tax consequences. A capital gain could be triggered when moving funds from a regular investment to a TFSA. I like to remind you of the TFSA every year because it still isn’t utilized enough despite having been around for 7 years. Remember, this account is for the grandparents, parents and even the young adults.

So parents, encourage your 18-yearold to set up one of these accounts.

What are you waiting for?!

League of Canada for $500 and the J. B. Millar Flying Scholarship for $150 from the local 222 Air Cadet Squadron as well.

Presenting the awards were National Governor, Mr. Bob Burchinshaw from Kelowna, National Vice-President, Mr. Don Doern from Kamloops and local 222 Sponsoring Committee Chair, Dr. Shelley Geier.

ON SCHEDULE AND ON BUDGET The new School District 83 Education and Administration Centre schedule is on time and budget ($7.4 million contract) and Owners Project Manager Jerry Westby says the plan is to have it operational by late June.

“The project is going well. We had that bit of snow but nothing else has compromised the schedule. Sawchuk Developments, our general contractor, doesn’t like to waste time; they have an assertive schedule.”

The building on the former J. L. Jackson school property on Shuswap will house the board office as well as several services and programs including the district resource centre which is currently at Hillcrest Elementary.

The Strong Start program which is being run out of the Downtown Activity Centre will be moved to the new building as well as the district careers program and music program. The District Itinerants and Aboriginal education from South Canoe, the IT Department and District Education Centre presently located on Shuswap Middle School’s property will also be housed in the new building.

There is close to 2600 square metres of floor area with a footprint of 1300 square metres.

“By the end of next week it should look like a steelframe structure,” says Jerry. “The roofers are slated to start later on this week.”

The building is a three-storey structure with a one-sto-

rey attachment. On a typical day there are about 25 tradespeople on-site and that will go up to over 40 soon.

A lot of the work went to local contractors.

“We have a foreman onsite who is a local SASS grad and one of the young carpenters just graduated two years ago.”

FUNDRAISER FOR JUSTIN STARKELL DOWNIE This Saturday, January 17, there will be a family-friendly pub fundraiser at the Wicked Spoon for Justin Starkell Downie, who was critically injured in Calgary in mid-December. He is in Foothills Hospital in Calgary and will be there for an indefinite period of time.

The fundraiser will help with Justin’s rehabilitation and to relieve some of the financial burden for his family who are traveling back and forth from Salmon Arm to Calgary.

“We have a bunch of stuff happening at the fundraiser including a 50/50 roulette wheel and a silent auction” says Daylene Hansen Fleming, who is organizing the event. “A bunch of musicians will be playing including some young people who Justin just graduated with in June. And a few of his friends are currently designing T-shirts to help with the fundraising and support.”

For every Burger Special ordered, a portion of the proceeds will go to Justin.

A trust account has also been set up at the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union for Justin and his family. You can get updates and more information on FB ‘Fundraiser for Justin Starkell.’

The fundraiser goes from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m.

STILL PICTURES IN MOTION PICTURE Four artists from the Eagle Valley Brush and Palette Club in Sicamous will have their pictures in the movie ‘Go With Me’ that was filmed in the Enderby area late last year. The film crew saw the paintings hanging at the River Rocks Bistro in Enderby and thought they would be perfect for the movie. So when the movie is released, remember to watch for the paintings.

Audit shows heli-skiing rules working

VICTORIA - A Forest Practices Board report released Tuesday confirms that the Province’s memorandum of understanding with heli-ski and cat-ski operators is helping protect endangered mountain caribou.

In April 2014, the Province commissioned the Forest Practices Board to audit the ministry’s agreement with all 12 heli-ski and cat-ski operators that work in and around mountain caribou habitat. The memorandum of understanding has been in place since 2011 and is designed to minimize impacts on mountain caribou by the heli-ski industry. The memorandum establishes best practices for avoiding mountain caribou, as well as documenting encounters when they do occur.

The audit indicates that overall heli-ski and cat-ski operators have demonstrated a high

degree of diligence in adhering to the conditions of the memorandum of understanding. It also provides valuable advice on how operators can improve their reporting protocols, and these findings will help inform future efforts to sustain mountain caribou populations.

The memorandum of understanding has been renewed until 2017, and is one of a number of actions supporting the recovery of mountain caribou populations. Since 2007, the Province has prohibited industrial road building and logging, recreational snowmobiling and the sale of commercial recreation tenures on millions of hectares to protect and preserve caribou habitat.

This is an ongoing effort and requires longterm careful management of public and commercial recreation, habitat protection, and predator and prey management.

Letters to the Editor

Spend less on meetings and more on programming

An open letter to the CEO of Interior Health: My wife, Kathleen Hagman, suffered a debilitating stroke in April of 2012, that left her invalid and quite confused, with initially no speech and limited swallowing ability. She was in hospital for over 100 days and was deemed palliative when I made the decision to bring her home, I thought, to die. She rallied medically while at home, which was coincident with introducing COQ10 in to her diet. She has been in and out of care facilities but is now back in care, probably permanently.

My intimate involvement in the Health Care system and with providing care at home for Kate has been quite a learning/educational experience, to say the least!

First, is the recognition of the many caring and competent people who provide a range of services to those in need and the kindness and indeed compassion extended.

However, and as you are probably intimately aware, there are gaps in services that, in my view and experience, affect both the quality of care provided to people like Kate, and thus to the quality of life experienced in this most vulnerable population. Vulnerable because in so many instances they can not advocate their needs to others and so are dependent on others to ascertain and be sensitive to what their needs are.

For example, I have experienced on many occasions where staff have a number of people with eating and/or swallowing difficulties, and simply do not have the time–meaning sufficient staff available–to ensure that the resident receives sufficient nutrition and fluids. Indeed, speaking from direct experience in caring for Kate who has impaired swallowing ability, it can, at times, take upwards of 30 to 60 minutes to get a meal and fluids down, depending on her cognitive state and/or level of agitation at the time.

As well, there are minimal programme and recreational activities that provide both mental and physical stimulation and, as a result, this vulnerable population is literally being “warehoused.” I must add that I have witnessed first-hand the positive responses to what little recreational programmes there are when they are provided: residents smiling and indeed laughing and enjoying those mental and physical activities and challenges.

I am not speaking here of rehabilitation but simply quality of life in the last years of this vulnerable population.

And, yes, I know that these things cost money.

But let me close by offering a possible solution. What about cutting back on the number of meetings you and your supervisory staff go to? Given the enormous number held, even a small reduction in those meetings could, con-

ceivably, free up resources to be applied to the application of providing direct help such as recreational services for the noted vulnerable population, thus improving measurably the quality of their lives, and perhaps ending the ‘warehousing.’

It’s possible. But only if the will and determination is there, sufficient to overcome the bureaucratic inertia and indeed ‘comfort zone’ that exists in any large organization.

One last thing...I’m sure you are aware of the many clinical trial conducted over the decades using COQ10 to treat a variety of cardiovascular issues and disease and the impressive positive results. Given those results, the only question is, why isn’t our health care system using it more (as Europe does)? It would not only help many people with cardiovascular diseases but would, in the result, save our health care system money, which could then be better spent in improving the quality of life of those in the health care system, such as my wife Kathleen.

Although anecdotal, Kate’s improvement, namely lower blood pressure, normal heart rate, and no longer having congestive heart failure, is coincident with the introduction of COQ10 into her diet when I brought her home from hospital.

Sincerely and on behalf of Kathleen Norah Hagman, Robert Hagman, Enderby

By Peter Kociuba The Podollan Inn Peewee Tier 2 Silvertips cruised down the highway to West Kelowna on Saturday, to face the warriors at the Jim Lind arena in Boucherie. The line of Colby Feist, Ty Sanford and Mason Balon was a force for the Tips, as they dominated the game with their quick transitions and tape-to-tape passing. They opened the scoring at the half way mark of the first period, Balon charging down the wing with the puck and taking it behind the net, leaving it for Feist to complete the wraparound. A few minutes later Balon would again carry the puck into the Warrior’s zone, dishing over to Sanford for the tap-in. Balon would set up Feist for the next one, a virtual carbon copy 2 on 1 tap in.

Feist would return the favor in the 2nd period, dropping the puck to Balon for a hard blast through the goaltender’s pads to stake the Silvertips to a 4-2 lead heading into the midgame ice clean. With 3 seconds left in the second frame, Sanford and Feist would combine for yet another marker, again on a 2 on 1. The Warriors clawed their way back into the game in the 3rd, to get the game within one. After an apparent goal was called off for Salmon Arm, Feist would steal the puck at the blue line and head in on a breakaway before out waiting the Westside netminder and slipping the puck into the back of the net. Unfortunately for the Tips, the Warriors would net another and then tie it up

late in the third to finish the game knotted at 6.

Sunday, the Silvertips headed across the bridge for a morning tilt vs Kelowna. Marino Bordin would open the scoring for the Tips with just over 6 minutes left in the first period, his howitzer from the point finding its way past the Kelowna goaltender. With time winding down in the 1st period, the Tips were granted a late period power play. After becoming confused in their own end and surrendering a shorthanded marker to tie the game at 1’s, Colby Feist would walk in off the half boards and go post-in with 2 seconds left to give Salmon Arm the edge heading into the first intermission. After Kelowna tied the game early in the 2nd, Mason Balon would pot his first of the game up over the goalie’s shoulder as he started cheating over to protect against the pass to again put the Tips up by one. Ty Sanford would hit the back of the net half way through the third, walking out from down low as the Kelowna D ran out of position on a two-man advantage for the Silvertips.

Kelowna would storm back with a pair to tie it up just a few minutes later, but Salmon Arm refused to be denied. Balon would get his second of the game and his ninth point of the weekend, driving the net on his knees on a delayed call as he got tripped up at the hash marks. Final score SA 5, Kelowna 4.

The Tips head down to Trail for a tournament this weekend.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT The story of Edith

Discover the sensational rags to riches story of French singer Edith Piaf at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre on Friday, February 20th, as Atlantic Ballet unfolds her inspiring tale through classical dance and her iconic music in their original ballet Piaf.

Atlantic Ballet’s Artistic Director Igor Dobrovolskiy found inspiration in Edith Piaf’s life.

“I wanted audiences to be touched by her story and her songs” says Dobrovolskiy, “for them to have the same reaction I had to the music when I was a 10-year-old boy hearing them for the first time.”

Extraordinary songs including Non, je ne regrette rien, La Vie en rose, Hymne à l’amour, La Foule, among other well-loved ballads set the backdrop for this original ballet performed by a company of 10 exceptional dancers.

“Her songs leave a sad and warm feeling of love and pride with anyone who hears them, all who discover Edith are touched by her song and story” says Igor Dobrovolskiy, who founded Atlantic Ballet 13 years ago.

Selecting music to go along side Piaf’s masterpieces was one of Dobrovolskiy’s greatest challenges. Selections from Beethoven, Fauré, Romanov and others complement Piaf’s music without overshadowing. “I wanted to select music that would blend with her songs and make the story tell itself to the audience,” adds Dobrovolskiy, “Everyone is touched by Edith, […] Once you have heard her songs, her story; you will never forget.”

The performance starts at 7:30 pm on Friday, February 20th, and tickets are $45 for adults, $42 for seniors and $40 for students. Call the Ticket Seller Box Office at 250-549-SHOW (7469) or visit www.ticketseller.ca.

Mommy

Mommy tells the story of a feisty widow Diane “Die” Després (Anne Dorval) when she, after three years, decides to retrieve her emotional ADHD teenage son Steve (Antoine-Olivier Pilon) from her previously imposed institutionalization, and rehabilitate him herself. This proves difficult; as she readjusts to being a single mother, struggles to hold a job, and home-school Steve through his unpredictable violent outbursts, Die seeks help in her shy new neighbour, Kyla (Suzanne Clément), a high school teacher on sabbatical dealing with her own emotional issues. The trio forms an unexpected bond as they all test each others boundaries and cling to the hope of overcoming their adversities together.

Director Xavier Dolan’s fifth film, shot in an unconventional 1:1 screen ratio, and winner of the Special Jury Prize at Cannes, Mommy is anything but a subtle take on a mother’s love.

Mommy shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 17th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Factory farming shuswapoutdoors

It goes back some time now, I had a contract with the head of animal cruelty investigations with the BC SPCA, from its head office in Surrey, to cover Salmon Arm and Vernon. Most times it involved starved horses and other neglected animals, strays, and puppy mills.

Teaming up with former RCMP dog handler Brad Kuich, we investigated and charged many individuals, often after veterinarian checks during seizure. We had search warrants, and would find homes for rescued llamas, horses, birds, dogs, cats, and exotic creatures like monkeys and snakes. Some cases were horrific and confrontational, while other folks simply surrendered their animals.

One morning, I received a call to check on a flock of turkeys in a large 2x4 wire enclosure with a plywood roof in the Salmon Arm area.

On arrival, I found the birds were as the complainant had described, but the hut had skids, so it could be taken from grassy site to site. The owner of the birds was ordered to place a better cover on the roof to prevent rain from soaking the turkeys.

Overcrowding was a concern, and it would get messy and muddy in houses and pens for chickens, bantams, ducks, and geese. One case involved a major clean-up order, and many birds were seized.

As more and more towns and municipalities allow laying hens in coops and sheds, there could be a major concern over H5N1 virus (bird flu) spreading. This happens when wild ducks and pigeons land in the pens, and mingle with the domestic fowl. Back in about 2004, in the Fraser Valley, when the first outbreak affected large poultry operations, many farmyard and backyard chickens, ducks, and geese were seized and euthanized to prevent spreading. Then, waterfowlers (hunters) had a major concern, that killing and keeping wild ducks (mallards, pintail, and goldeneye), would have them contract the bird flu.

In Asia about 200 people died from infection.

In the US/Canada, according to avian disease specialist Robert Anderson at the University of Winnipeg, wild waterfowl have had, and are coping with, the H5N1 for millenia. The risk is highest to hunters who handle dead birds for cleaning. But how the H5N1 strain mutated to a H5N2 is puzzling.

It resulted in the spread to backyard flocks of fowl in Washington state, with over 250,000 or more turkeys and chickens having to be destroyed here in BC? According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, it started with some chickens

from one barn being transferred to another farm.

How did these chickens contract the flu, to give it to the large enclosed flock? Had these birds been in contact with pigeons getting into the barns? Or were mice and rats getting into the barns? As we have seen on the TV news, with major overcrowding of turkeys and chickens, it would only take a few birds having avian flu, to contaminate the rest.

These days, pork chops, chicken breasts, and eggs that you find in the supermarket all come from large commercial barns. Pigs: 150,000 raised, mostly in closed barns. Laying hens: More than 2 million raised for egg production, and they are kept in metal wire cages. Meat birds: About 90 million.

They are a different breed than the egg layers, selectively raised and fed to reach maturity in six weeks. In order to maximize profitability, they are raised in continuous light conditions at 550 square centimetres per bird, creating heavy crowding. This results in leg disorders, heart failure, and skin conditions. Also, two million die annually, in transport to the slaughterhouse, due to inadequate ventilation and crowding. What has occurred recently, with the H5N2 avian flu epidemic, was a combination of all these conditions.

Does the chicken, eggs, pork, or beef we serve our families today taste the same as we had on the farm? It does not. It seems free range/open barns are a ways off, but when the rubber hits the road, the consumer is more concerned today about the welfare of our birds and animals, and will in future buy only free range dairy and poultry products. The large commercial farms are caught in a quandary, in the best way to feed the nation. Meanwhile, they have only themselves to blame for the mess they’re in, due mostly to their focus on profit. The interesting part is, we the taxpayers are compensating them for their losses, per bird, which will help them start the process all over again.

On the flip side, the federal government payed out commercial salmon farmers to the tune of $1.4 million for their losses last year. Sounds awful fishy to me!

Flies, jeans, mildew, and laminate

Dear Reena, I read your column regularly and find it very helpful. Some time ago, you gave a solution to get rid of the little flies that seem to take up residence in houseplants.

Was it 2 tbsp. per liter of water or rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide? The little things are really pesky!

Also, someone asked about removing a heat mark on a wooden table. I have a good friend in the furniture business, and he recommended Brasso. You just rub a small amount on the mark – sometimes more than once, but it works wonderfully!

Thank you in advance for your information. Chris Thanks for the tip, Chris! Here is the House and Garden Bite-Back Recipe for Plants: In a 1 gallon milk jug, combine 2 tbsp. dish soap, 1 tbsp. rubbing alcohol, dash of Tabasco sauce, 1 tbsp. canola oil and enough water to fill the jug. Pour mixture into a spray bottle and apply as needed.

Dear Reena, I purchased several pairs of the same brand of jeans, but they are about one half inch longer than I want in length, so rather than getting them hemmed I would like to try to shrink them. Can you please advise me as to the best method of how to do this? Thank you, Elaine Dear Elaine, If the fabric is preshrunk then your laundering technique will not make much difference in the size. Heat is your best bet to shrink jeans; wash and dry on the highest

heat settings.

Dear Reena, Three years ago we built a new master bedroom and ensuite bathroom which we finished using natural slate tile on the floors, walls and throughout the shower area. I have been able to find very little information on how to safely clean the slate without damaging it. The info that I have found has said to avoid acidic cleaners and to stick with mild household detergent. I have been using the all-natural eco. friendly laundry soap but leave most of the disinfection to my steam mop, which does a pretty good job. There are two problems that have arisen: we are starting to get what I assume is calcium or lime build-up on the shower floor and seat (white streaks that won’t steam off) and there is a small patch of black mildew in the silicone that seals the shower glass to the slate. Help! Jennifer Dear Jennifer, Add a small amount of vinegar to the mop water to combat white calcium buildup. While you wouldn’t want to use vinegar on a regular basis, it is helpful for cleaning slate once in a while in order to keep your slate looking shiny and new.

Also, make sure to find out if your floor is sealable; because properly sealing your floor will also keep it looking great for years to come.

As for the mildew patch, when it comes to mildew on silicone use products that are abrasive enough to clean but won’t remove the silicone. Make a paste using

3% hydrogen peroxide and borax; gently scrub the area with an abrasive pad to remove all traces of Solutions&Substitutions mildew on the seal.

McPHERSON, DORIS AUDREY December 7, 1926 – January 12, 2015 Audrey passed away January 12, with family by her side.

Doris is predeceased by her father, Stanley Irwin and mother Olga Irwin and sonin-law Narve D. Roen and great grandson Lincoln Narve Roen.

She is survived by her loving husband Daniel; daughter, Shaun Roen and her husband Greg Parsons; son Glenn Jones and his wife Nada as well as seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. All of who she loved dearly. She also has several relatives in Manitoba. Also two brothers-in-law, Alec McPherson and wife Barbara; Robert McPherson and wife Barbara; three nieces and a nephew as well as many close friends.

Audrey held many secretarial positions in newspapers, hardware, manufacturing, business and banking before retiring in 1985.

Born and raised in Winnipeg she moved to Edmonton in 1970 then to Calgary in 1973 where she married Daniel McPherson on June 27, 1976. They moved to Victoria in 1993 and the Shuswap in 1997.

Audrey enjoyed reading, watching old movies, playing crib to win and really enjoyed travelling to far off places but was most enthusiastic about travelling and camping with great friends and her motor home.

Her volunteer work included the 1988 Olympics in Calgary, which she enjoyed immensely.

The family thanks so very much, Dr. Kevin Goldberg, who did all possible during Audrey’s challenging and ever changing medical difficulties with complications; also many thanks to all the staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital who had contact with Audrey and the staff at Bastion Place. Finally, much praise for the very special, attentive staff at Good Samaritan “Hillside Village” that was all very professional and compassionate.

Funeral arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd. 250-833-1129. Email condolences and shared memories through Audrey’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

WORD SEARCH

SUDOKU

CAPRICORN

Spend the week in as much quiet contemplation as you can manage, Capricorn. You have a few big questions to work out and can only think when you have private time.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, dissatisfaction at work has you wondering if things would be different elsewhere.

Sometimes a change of attitude can give you an entirely new perspective.

PISCES

Pisces, a loved one comes to you seeking guidance this week, but don’t be bummed if they ultimately do not heed your advice.

ARIES

Take a leadership role on a work assignment, Aries. If your interest in work has been waning of late, a more active role may help you change your perspective.

PUZZLE NO. SU151290

TAURUS

Taurus, there is nothing you cannot accomplish this week. The sky is the limit in terms of your potential. All you need to do is focus your energy on a particular task.

GEMINI

Let something that’s been bugging you cool off for the time being, Gemini. There’s plenty of time to revisit the situation later, and you will be glad you took some time away.

CANCER

You’re willing to give a loved one the benefit of the doubt when that person makes a proposal that seems to come out of nowhere. Your patience will be appreciated.

LEO

Expect to be surprised by good news, Leo. Share your good fortune with others this week, and you will realize the good news will prove even more enjoyable.

VIRGO

You may benefit from a change of scenery, Virgo.

If you have the time, book a getaway to an exotic locale and make the most of this time to rest, relax and recharge.

LIBRA

Libra, rest assured that a broken heart or bruised ego will not last too long. There are big changes ahead in your personal or professional life, so keep your eyes open.

What’s Where When

SCORPIO

Taking charge comes naturally to you, Scorpio.

In fact, you thrive in this role. But this week you may have to play second fiddle for the good of the team.

SAGITTARIUS

You seem to be operating on auto-pilot this week, Sagittarius. Your routine has become so ingrained that things are automatic. Make a few minor changes to liven things up.
