CAPRICORN Capricorn, you have so much to do now that your mind may be in a complete jumble. Others will come at you with questions, but take a deep breath and answer them one at a time.

AQUARIUS Change is not the best idea right now, Aquarius. It is much better to stick with the status quo for a little while longer. Then you will have enough stability to make a change..

PISCES

ARIES Aries, you are inspired to take on the world, but you may want to focus on smaller goals this week. Finishing a long-lingering work project is a viable option.

TAURUS Taurus, something does not seem to be falling into place. Take stock of things at home and at work to see if you can crack this nut. A little more investigation many be necessary.

GEMINI You may be offered a professional opportunity this week that is too good to pass up, Gemini. Despite this great offer, do your best to stay focused on work for the next several days.

CANCER Exercise caution and do not jump to any conclusions at work, Cancer. While you may know what your boss expects from you, it is better to wait to hear what he or she has to say.

LEO Leo, you can envision exciting adventures ahead, and those times will be here before you know it. Channel your enthusiasm so you can get a head start on planning your adventure.

VIRGO Virgo, you have a desire to be different from everyone else this week. It’s good to be original, but don’t stray too far off the beaten path or you may find yourself lost.

LIBRALibra, a friend may shock you by doing something really outrageous. You do not know what to make of this change in personality, but do your best to take it in stride.

SCORPIO Scorpio, work figures to put a lot on your plate in the coming week. You can handle everything that comes your way, so long as you keep your cool and continue to work hard.

SAGITTARIUS You may be tempted to sneak off and play hooky from work, Sagittarius. Just make sure you handle all of your obligations first. Now is not the best time to kick up your heels.

Pisces, you have many new ideas about how to get rich quick, but you will probably want to find more sensible ways to earn a living.

Located In the Mall at Piccadilly

On January 21st, in the mid-dle of the day, a small group of people could be seen gathered near the fountain at the Ross Street Plaza; with cheerful faces holding signs that read “FREE HUGS.” I watched enthusiastically as people walking by would stop and get a hug from one or two mem-bers of the group, and then go on their way seemingly with a lighter stride. It was interesting to me to watch the reactions of various people as they read the signs while walking or driving by. Some folks would shuf-fle by face down, almost embarrassed looking as they hurried past the crowd. But the greater portion of the people would smile and wave, sometimes stop and get a hug and chat for a couple seconds. The people in the cars driv-ing by also had interest-ing reactions as they braked at the four-way stop and stared at the crowd. Some would stare and smile and others would enthusiastically honk and wave. Several times people would roll down their win-dows at which point one of the sign holders would run over and give them a hug through their open window in the few moments before it was their turn at the intersection.

It was nice to watch the warmth and happiness that this group of people brought to friends and strangers alike just with the simple act of giving them a hug on this International Hug Day.

National Hug Day, soon to become International Hug Day, was started in Caro, Michigan in 1986 by a man named Kevin Zaborney. It occurs on January 21 each

year and is timed to coincide with the time of year that research has shown that peo-ple are at their most depressed. Many years later, in Australia in June 2004, a single person who goes by the name of Juan Mann started a campaign called the “Free Hugs Campaign” in which he would hold a sign reading FREE

HUGS and give hugs to any-one who wanted one. He was joined by friends over the course of the next year, and the campaign grew until authori-ties forced them to stop due to liability reasons. They wanted Juan to carry $25 million of insurance coverage. A petition was started and the authorities backed off when they were handed a 10,000 signature petition and once again the hug campaign gained steam.

A local Australian rock band named Sick Puppies got involved with the campaign, made a video of Mann and his companions, and put it to music; eventually it was uploaded to YouTube and was a great success, being viewed millions of times. Local radio announcer Rich Daniels saw the video and decided it was a great idea. So, in 2008, he

made signs, and he and a cou-ple friends went out on January 21 and offered hugs to people on the street. He did this again in 2009. The sign was then tacked to the wall of his office until this year, when he formed a Facebook event, took his original sign in and got it lam-inated, made several smaller laminated FREE HUGS signs,

and joined several friends at the plaza to dole out hugs to whomever wanted one. The idea was in recognition of Bell’s “Lets Talk” campaign, where, on January 28th, they donate to mental health initia-tives based on the number of text messages sent, tweets, long distance calls made, and Facebook pictures shared.

I had been invited to the Facebook group, and as I am used to being bear-hugged by Rich every time he sees me, I was quite intrigued to see the reaction of other people who are not used to being hugged in our stiff Canadian culture that has even banned hugging in several schools. I remember being somewhat taken aback the first time Rich went to hug me, as I myself am not used to being hugged by other guys, and so was interested to

observe other people in simi-lar situations. I was not disap-pointed at all to see the reac-tions of various people. Many young adults were very

happy to get and give a hug. Older people, for the most part, were also quite receptive. It seemed to me that the middle-aged group was the least receptive to the idea of hugging in public or hugging a stranger. One young child happily hugged Rich but when Rich went to talk to him, ran to his mom because he wasn’t allowed to talk

to strangers. Several others enthu-siastically hugged each member of the group and then borrowed a sign and joined them. Cars honked, people waved, and a good dose of happiness was doled out in the plaza on that day.

I hope that hug day continues in Salmon Arm next year. I also hope that people don’t wait an entire year to hug someone next to them – be it relative, friend, or complete stranger.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

At this time of year when the alarm rings, many people find it a challenge to climb out bed on these cold, dark mornings. All too often the snooze button is pushed repeatedly and getting out from under the warm blankets to start the day can be a daunting task.

While mornings can be tough for some, there are a few things one can do to change this rou-tine into maybe even your favorite time of the day.

If your schedule dictates that you have to be up at a certain hour in the morning, plan for it the day before. Staying up too late so you cannot possibly get 8-9 hours of restful sleep is the first step to having a bad morning. Do yourself a favour and manage your schedule so that you can be in bed at a reasonable time.

Once your alarm goes off in the morning, there are a few activities you can do to make sure your day starts off well. A short meditation or prayer upon awakening that expresses gratitude for what lays ahead of you will greatly change your outlook. Seeing the day ahead as a gift, not a chore, is all mindset that you can control.

Another way to begin your day correctly is to read something that other people have learned and experienced before. Reading the words of the scriptures, motivational speakers, or innova-tive people can help put your day into perspec-tive, even if you know it is going to be a chal-lenging one.

Focusing on your breath is another strategy to help start the day right. Short, shallow breaths are the breathing pattern of stress! Drawing in a deep breath of fresh air and slowly exhaling sev-eral times changes the physiology of the body. This practice reduces stress, provides energy, and helps prepare your nervous system for what’s ahead.

As I mentioned above, whether or not you are a “morning person” (as with all other aspects of your health), you are in control. Isn’t the idea of being happy, healthy and productive with your day much more appealing than waking up grumpy and ungrateful? Usually a simple change in mindset, organizing your schedule and a few different behaviors will have a large impact on how your days begin.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiro-practor and can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

Becoming a morning person

When we fall ill with a physical illness, most of us are confident in where to seek treatment. We make an appointment with our doctor, or seek over-the-counter medications for common ailments. When it comes to mental health care and treatment, our confidence in what to do is often diminished. Although we are making progress, mental health concerns are still stigmatized within our culture, and we view asking for professional help during times of distress a weakness, rather than a strength.

In British Columbia, a number of regulated mental health profession-als exist. Each regulatory body requires a certain level of educa-tion, continuing education require-ments and code of ethics. Registered Clinical Counsellors have a mini-mum of a Master’s level education. Psychologists within BC require a Doctoral level education, and psy-chiatrists are trained medical doc-tors who specialize in mental health

care. Additionally, Registered Social Workers often work in men-tal health settings. Whatever type of mental health professional you choose, be sure to ask about both their experience and education. Since terms such as counsellors or therapist are not regulated, unfortu-nately some individuals are not qualified to be providing the care they claim to be competent in.

If you or someone you care about is experiencing mental health con-cerns, a crisis or major life transi-tion, seeking mental health care is an option. Meeting with your fami-ly physician to express your need for care is a great place to start, or asking your support network for recommendations of who to see. Many non-profit organizations within the Shuswap region offer mental health care as well as refer-rals to other services. Government funded programs as well as private services exist within our communi-ties.

How did you feel this morning when you woke up? Did you leap out of bed, energetic and eager to start the day? If not, there is a great event to help you improve your well-being!

The Body & Soul Wellness Fair takes place March 7th and 8th at the Vernon Rec Centre from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free.

The Body & Soul Wellness Fair will showcase over 70 products and ser-vices for the mind, body and soul.

There will be vendors showcasing things such as essential oils, acupunc-ture, natural cleaning products, spiritu-al guidance, weight loss trainers, organic products and everything in between. Visitors will also receive a free welcome bag and get to enter our Grand Prize draw.

“The fair is getting larger each year, we are noticing that there is much more awareness about a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes small changes to our every-

day routine can make a huge difference overall. Maybe you try aromatherapy before bed and listen to calming music instead of watching TV,” says Shara Mendoza, event organizer. “Or maybe you choose to use natural cleaning products instead of harsh chemicals.”

If you have a body, or know someone who does, this is the event for you!

This year’s event is proudly spon-sored by Sun FM.

Nel Peach traveled to Bermuda in January, one of 21 Canada’s Team Diabetes members to com-pete in the Bermuda Triangle Challenge mara-thon. She brought the Lakeshore News issue from Jan. 9 with the ‘Whiteout’ front page, and put a postcard on front of a colourful Bermuda scene, accentuating the difference between here and there.

Nel had this to say about her trip:“I completed the 10 km walk upright and smil-

ing, even though the terrain is hilly. I overheard some say that the 10 km course was more brutal than the 1/2 and full marathon.

“The race was extremely well organized. People on the island are kind and helpful in making the tourist feel welcome! As a team, we raised over $150,000 for the Canadian Diabetes Association, and donations are accepted till the end of February.

“A lady from the Bermuda Diabetes Association shared with our group that diabetes is a huge problem and children are often diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Hopefully they will plan to get walks organized. Most food items including fruits and vegetables are imported and costly. Junk food is relatively cheap!”

Nel receives $10 for having her picture printed and is entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2015.

If you love to read and are interested in work-ing with children, consider becoming a volunteer with the One to One Children’s Literacy Program. One to One reading programs take place in many elementary schools within the district including Bastion, Hillcrest, South Broadview, North Canoe, Salmon Arm West, Ranchero, Carlin, Grindrod, MV Beattie, Parkview, Sorrento, North Shuswap, Falkland, Highland Park, and Armstrong Elementary Schools.

Parent and community volunteers are needed to support our students with their reading. The commitment is 1.5 hours per week for 12 weeks starting in mid-February. During that time, vol-unteers will read with 3 children for 30 minutes each. The children are in grades 2 to 5 and are selected by their teachers to receive this special reading help. All tutoring is done at the school during regular school hours. The One to One program is organized by the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) in partnership with School District #83.

A three-hour training session for all volunteers in basic reading strategies is mandatory as well as a criminal record check. Training sessions will be held on:

• Tuesday, February 3rd from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Falkland Elementary School

• Wednesday, February 4th from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon at South Broadview Elementary School in Salmon Arm.

To sign on as a tutor or for further information, please contact Jennifer Findlay, Literacy Outreach Coordinator, at 250-833-2095 or admin@shuswapliteracy.ca.

YOU WILL STILL HAVE MUCH TO GIVE US, SALLYJack Stead of Salmon Arm wrote: “Aging without seri-

ous illness is the best part of life. I do not think you will have outlived your usefulness by age 85. You will still have much to give to us.”

STILL USEFUL AND HAPPY? I’LL EXTEND MY LIFEI want to feel useful, happy and free of pain when I am

85. If I have all three, I will keep extending my plan to die at a certain age. So many elderly seniors put up with ill health. I notice that some couples who have been mar-ried a long time are both in poor health.

IT’S OK TO LIVE SEPARATELYMany elderly people stay in a marriage even though

neither is happy. My relatives told me after they were widowed that they did not have a good marriage. Actually, none of the relatives of my parent’s generation had happy marriages. How about yours?

The stigma of separation and divorce is less now than it was before 1992, when Jim and I divorced. An ideal separation for seniors today is to sell the house, and both partners rent and live about a block away from one anoth-er. The two can keep in touch by phone every morning and have supper together by taking turns doing the cook-ing. The change will improve their health. Promise!

When I see a friend with a new partner, inwardly I shout BRAVO! Both are happier now.

UNCLE WAS NOT HAPPY, NEITHER IS HIS MOTHERA.H. wrote: “I for one appreciate your article on ‘hop-

ing to die at 85’.” A.H., 72, has been care-giving for his mother and uncle. His uncle died last September after two and a half years of care. He continues to care for his mother, his uncle’s sibling. He watched the progression of pills, etc. through heart attack, cancer, etc. along with attending visits to doctors, hospitals etc. Both were or are taking handfuls of pills. His uncle was not happy, and neither is his mother.

“Like you, Sally, I also am on a single heart pressure pill as per doctor’s instructions. I am mentally debating the progression of the pills and what the future holds. What shall I do?”

HUGH CURTIS REFUSED TREATMENTAt a public celebration of life in Victoria for Hugh

Curtis, B.C. Minister of Finance from 1979 to 1986, peo-ple learned that he refused treatment and did not tell his family of his illness. His obituary states he died of cancer on May 27, 2014.

SHOT OF JACK DANIELS TWICE A WEEKJack Weis was the oldest CEO in the United States when

he died at 107. He claimed to have quit smoking at age 60 and drinking at age 90. However, he said he had a shot of Jack Daniel’s twice a week for medicinal purposes.

RICHMOND SENIOR WITH DEMENTIA GETS LOSTAn 89-year-old woman from Richmond, who suffers

from a mild form of dementia, took a wrong turn when she left home, and wound up in Kamloops, about three and a half hours later. Her family reported her missing. Someone saw a car weaving on the highway near Kamloops and called police. The woman’s family headed to Kamloops to bring her home. This was not the first time she’d gotten lost.

The Province’s website had two comments below her story:

“Why is this poor woman still allowed to drive? It just doesn’t make any sense to me at all.”

“She should be a Vancouver cabbie.”FLYING INTO KELOWNA AIRPORT, YOU SEE

OKANAGANBUCKETLIST.COMThe large letters are meant to entice you to return and

visit some of the businesses that are advertised on the website. As I deplaned after my trip to Victoria, and took the long walk to the baggage area, I kept seeing okana-ganbucketlist.com and it became imprinted on my mind. Good marketing!

CATHOLICS DON’T HAVE TO BE LIKE RABBITSPope Francis made the now-notorious statement about

being “like rabbits” during his wide-ranging press con-ference with journalists on the plane back to Rome from the Philippines on January 19. He defends the church’s opposition to artificial contraception and said there are plenty of church-approved ways to regulate births. The pope said no outside institution should impose its views on regulating family size, blasting what he called the “ideological colonization” of the developing world.

SEX AND THE KITTY (From a BCSPCA ad)A single unspayed cat can produce 470,000 offspring in

just seven years. Be responsible, don’t litter.DECISION ON ABORTION PILL DELAYED TILL FALL

A major Canadian medical body is urging Health Canada to approve an abortion pill that would allow a woman to end a pregnancy at home. A decision to allow the drug, known as RU-486 for use in this country was to be announced in mid-January, but a decision has once again been delayed, likely until the fall. Perhaps after the federal election in October?

Already in use in more than 50 countries, mifepristone is considered the gold standard for medical abortions and is included in the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines.

CHOCOLATE IS NOT BENEFICIALHealth benefits of chocolate are grossly overstated,

according to a Jan. 6 documentary on CBC-TV. The Mars chocolate company partially paid for research that showed chocolate may lower blood pressure and can prevent bowel cancer. But the flavanoids that are helpful, are destroyed by high temperature which is needed in choco-late manufacturing.

Hershey, M&M and Mars funded other research which is not true because it goes only so far. There are no health benefits from eating chocolate, not even the delay of age-related memory loss. Chocolate manufacturers proj-ect increased sales each time research results are announced.

PURE ORANGE JUICE IS NOT PUREIf you want pure orange juice, squeeze an orange. An

hour-long television documentary looked into the manu-facture of orange juice. It showed that every brand of pure orange juice has additives. In fact, if it uses orange juice that has been frozen for one year then reconstituted, it loses its orange smell and taste. It needs to have the smell and taste added to it much like perfume.

FORMER SALMON ARM RESIDENTPROPOSES REGISTRY FOR TENANTS, LANDLORDS

In December I wrote about difficult tenants, and said I call myself an eviction consultant. Since then, I’ve had

calls about difficult landlords, too. In the column I had written that I wished there could be a registry for tenants. This gave Randy Glen an idea because he and wife Kathi operate a small website and mobile software (apps) busi-ness called NumaWorks from their home on the banks of the Shuswap River north of Enderby. They are planning to develop websites for tenants as well as landlords and property managers that can be used not only for the Shuswap, but across Canada and the world.

Randy is a 1967 SASS grad. His parents operated Glen’s Variety & Sports Centre on what is now Lakeshore Drive. The three of us spent a couple of hours at my kitchen table, talking more about Salmon Arm than about tenants and landlords.

Randy has two websites reserved and not yet activated: TenantChekz.com and LandlordChekz.com. Each will provide a forum in which to comment about experiences with problem tenants and/or landlords and also provide a place for positive reviews and compliments. There will be an option for anonymity in the good and bad com-ments and it will need to be fair for all parties. They will study how the Better Business Bureau handles com-plaints and they welcome your suggestions by email. Send them to info@numaworks.com.

TOMORROW, SAT. JAN. 31 IS HOCKEY DAYMinor hockey will be played all day Saturday so

Salmon Arm will be absolutely FILLED with hockey families. A Jr. B game will be played at 3 p.m. between Revelstoke and 100 Mile House. Tickets are $5.

Our Jr. A Silverbacks have been at many away games recently, but they will be home to Vernon Vipers tomor-row at 7 p.m. Free tickets will be provided to all minor hockey team players in Revelstoke, Sicamous and Salmon Arm. Expect lots of cheering from the young boys, and many trips to the concessions.

SITTING TOO LONG ON YOUR BUTT CAN BE DEADLYIf you sit for a major part of the day you will have a

higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, regardless of regular exercise, say researchers. Dr. David Alter, a senior scientist with the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute said analysis pooled from 41 international studies found that more than half a day is spent being sedentary. Prolonged sitting, watching television or working at a computer was associated with a 15 to 20 per cent higher risk of death from any cause, and as much as 90 per cent increased risk of developing diabetes.

CALL ME IF YOU FIND A HUBCAP WITH “C”The right front hubcap from my SmartCar is missing.

It was probably dislodged when I parked too close to an icy snowbank. Call me if you find it: 250-832-4831. Now that it is above zero every day and the snow if thawing oh so slowly, all kinds of things will start to show up in the snowbanks: lost keys, mitts, kids, toques, pups, etc.

So the Junior Bean Counter is a really big football fan. More impor-tantly, he is a real big New England Patriots fan, and if you follow sports even a little, you’ll know this weekend the Patriots are playing the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl.

What makes it really interesting is the fact everyone else in our house cheers for the Denver Broncos, who are often considered one of New England’s biggest rivals. However, the Junior Bean Counter has always marched to the beat of his own drum and has never been swayed to do anything just because somebody says he should. It actually feels like he chooses to do things just to be different which definitely adds some spice to our house.

Last week I came into the kitchen and noticed the Junior Bean Counter sitting quietly at the table in deep thought with pen in hand. I could see he was writing something down and decided to find out what he was up to.

“What’ya doin’ Brendan?” I inquired.

“Do you like cheese sticks?” he asked.

“Who doesn’t like gooey cheese sticks, but why do you ask?” I answered, slightly puzzled.

“I’m making my Super Bowl party list! Do you know where we can get face paint?” he asked.

“Umm...I will have to see what we can find. Let me take a look at your list,” I said.

Patriots Super Bowl Party List• Cheese sticks

• Pizza and maybe chili• Hot wings• Garlic sausage, cheese and

crackers• Chips• Lots of dips• Blue and red cupcakes• Blue and red Jello• Blue and red streamers• Blue and red balloons• Blue and red face paint• Move all my Patriots stuff to TV

room“I see you have no shortage of

things with cheese and obviously you like dips. Who’s coming to your Super Bowl Party?” I asked.

“You and me of course!” he replied, as if to say, “Who did you think was coming?”

“Well that’s a lot of food for the two of us, and don’t you think we should have some vegetables?” I questioned.

“Ya, I guess we could add some cucumber,” he carefully pondered with his head again buried in his list.

After adding veggies and of course more “dip” to his list he also showed me a set of forks he has created especially for the Super Bowl. He will probably charge me $3 a piece just to use them because according to him, they will be col-lectors’ editions when the Patriots win.

His enthusiasm is definitely infectious, so despite the rivalry with my favourite team, I promised him I would cheer for the Patriots too. It’ll be tough, but at least I’ll be able to drown myself in cheese and multiple flavours of dip.

The Shuswap Hospital Foundation is thrilled to announce that the fundraising campaign for the CT scan upgrade has now been completed through a donation from the Shuswap Lake Health-Care Hospital Auxiliary.

A total of $205,000 was needed to purchase the CT scan upgrade, and this commitment was made by the Shuswap Hospital Foundation board of directors in October 2013 when fundraising for this high pri-ority upgrade commenced. With the assistance of donations from a gen-erous and enthusiastic community, the CT scan upgrade was ordered and installed in July, 2014. An amount totaling $17,785.34 was needed to complete the funding goal, and the Shuswap Lake Health-Care Hospital Auxiliary elected to assist by donating this much-need-

ed amount to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation.

The Shuswap Hospital Foundation board of directors is very grateful for this most generous donation made by the Shuswap Lake Health-Care Hospital Auxiliary. Says board president Doug Murray, “I would like to take this opportunity to applaud the Shuswap Lake Health-Care Hospital Auxiliary for their contri-bution to health care in our commu-nity. We are so appreciative of their efforts and the volunteer work that they do within the Shuswap Lake General Hospital.”

The new technology of the CT Scan Upgrade provides a signifi-cant enhancement to patient care and well-being at Shuswap Lake General Hospital. Howard Vangool photo.

Aside from obvious emergencies, it can often be difficult to know if the symptoms our dog is displaying warrant a trip to the veteri-narian. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunate-ly?) our dogs cannot communicate with us through speech so we must, as responsible owners, make judgment calls for their safety and health. The most important thing we can do for our dog’s safety is really know him: become very familiar with what is normal for him so we can notice small changes as soon as they occur. Watch especially for these symp-toms:

Lack of appetite: One missed meal might not be abnormal for your pet, but if his appe-tite vanishes for more than 24 hours you should contact your veterinarian.

Smelly breath: Dogs are not meant to have perpetually-smelly breath. If his breath is smelly for more than a couple of days a trip to the veterinarian is in order for a dental check up; he could have a rotting tooth or infection in his mouth.

Vomiting: Phone the vet if your dog vomits multiple times in a row, or if there is blood present.

Cloudy/red eyes, nasal discharge, or smelly ears can indicate infection.

Sudden weight loss: for a small dog, quickly dropping just a pound or two can signify that there is a problem.

Excessive scratching, rough/dull coat, or patchy hair loss.

Unusual stool: If your dog suffers from con-stipation or diarrhea for more than 24 hours, or if there is blood or mucus present in his stool, he needs to be examined by a veterinarian.

Dizzyness, instability, circling.If you notice your pet displaying any

behaviours that you perceive as strange, do not wait too long before phoning your veterinarian – and don’t wait until 4:50 p.m. on a Friday either! Recognizing symptoms early might just save your pet’s life.

When to call the vet?

I wish to correct the totally inaccurate state-ment made by CSRD chairperson Rhona Martin, in the Jan. 21, 2015 issue of Eagle Valley News (and possibly elsewhere) in regard to the four-laning of the Malakwa area highway. She stated that in the past, it was prone to bad acci-dents.

Wrong. During the 4-laning proposals in 1986-87 the main objection to it was that the area had no history of bad accidents.

Recent facts prove that the Frivolous Freeway has created its own tragedies by ending abruptly within a short distance, the most treacherous on the east end just before a 2-lane bridge. It has taken 27 years to commence a correction to the original faux pas. The extension of 4-laning and a new bridge should make an immense and long needed improvement.

The first changes to the Trans Canada Highway through the Eagle Valley began in 1942, and as a consequence of that explains why there were no major accidents, because some of the longest straight sections were on the site of the 4-lane to nowhere.

Part of that history is covered in my memoirs ‘Life is What Happens’ published in 2013, print-ed by Hucul Printing in Salmon Arm. It’s avail-able at Hidden Gems book store on Alexander St. Salmon Arm, Grizzly Books, Mackenzie Ave. Revelstoke and the Revelstoke Museum or directly from me in Sicamous.

I will agree that widening of highways is urgently needed, but in the end, not all the multi-lanes in the world can control the nut that holds the wheel.

One day at church, I noticed an old, bent woman who was obviously unable to care for herself. She smelled awful and could not remember my name from week to week. This woman had no fam-ily in Salmon Arm, so her church became her family. Different parishio-ners took her grocery shopping, cleaned her filthy house, and called to check up on her from time to time. They helped her up and down stairs, and drove her around.

This was emotionally draining, given

her headstrong personality; and time-consuming, given her physical limitations. Had she killed herself earli-er, we could have gotten on just fine. No doubt, though, we would have been a little more self-centred without her. That is because this one cranky, smelly old lady trained us how to put our own agendas aside, and look to the needs of others. She taught us that our priorities of how we should spend our time, or whom we should spend our time with, were often childish and distorted. After learning to transform a dying woman’s shortcomings into our own strengths and virtues, she left us. This was not

“her time” to die, it was God’s time for her to die; His work in her life, and in our own (through her), had apparently been completed. I thank God for giving her the strength and wisdom to stay with all of us until our clumsy efforts at being “good people” began to bear some real fruit. The type of society where human beings treat themselves or others as a means to an end is one that, understandably, people want to get out of. So instead, let us encourage each other to choose life in all its pain and beauty, and enrich the lives of others.

“We’ll keep a welcome.” Wales is well-known for its singing. It is not generally known that part singing had its origin and early development among the Welsh.

Giraldus Cambrensis, a famous historian writ-ing in 1188 A.D., speaks of their skill in vocal music which they sang in parts and not in unison.

Choral singing gives the Welsh an outlet for their deep and fervent religious feeling through the medium they love best, the music of human

voices blended in harmony.The Shuswap Welsh Society holds its fifth St.

David’s Day dinner on February 28th at the Salmon Arm Seniors’ Fifth Avenue Activity Centre, 170th-5th. Ave at 6:00 p.m. There is lim-ited seating.

Even in winter, there’s something beautiful about viewing our wildlife. Whether it’s our birds, or big game animals such as moose and deer, while on a stroll or a countryside drive to go ice angling or cross country skiing. But the animals we don’t see are still there in the bush, browsing, or resting to conserve energy to avoid predators (for they too, must eat to survive). It’s a lean time for most animals.

While climate change and warmer tempera-tures are having an effect on many species, our diverse geography in the province affects certain animal populations, such as a few whitetail deer in dry arid

Spences Bridge, which is suited for mule deer and California bighorn sheep. Whitetail deer, moose, and elk live together in the Kootenays; and lynx, mar-tin, bobcats, and snowshoe hares are high up in lodge-pole pine forest, while mountain caribou move to higher subboreal zones to survive.

In this day and age, our moose are having a difficult time because of unregulated hunting, big clear-cut logging, and winter moose tick infestation (due to warm temperatures), particularly in the Bonaparte Plateau area southeast of Clinton. A moose collaring and tracking project was under-taken last winter, to determine population densi-ties, mortality, etc. Moreover, a mountain cari-bou recovery project was also going on. To save the remaining 1,500 endangered animals, a maturity penning program was implemented. This involved staff from the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations, captur-ing ten pregnant females from the Chetwynd and Revelstoke herds last March. At birth, the new-borns were penned with their moms until July, when they were strong enough to avoid preda-tors like wolves, cougars, and bears. (Bears will hone in on natural calving grounds, and wolves follow snowmobile trails to high elevation cari-bou, taking the young in deep snow). The Revelstoke moms then produced nine calves, like the Chetwynd moms. Four babies were lost to wolves there. Revelstoke babies have one loss so far. The caribou are captured with a net gun fired from a low-flying helicopter. They are then fitted with GPS tracking collars, which remain on the cows for 5-6 years. The collars fall off the calves before year’s end.

Another program aimed at increasing caribou numbers for the Revelstoke North herd, was to increase the hunting of moose. The theory behind this was that fewer moose around would

cause wolves to move out of the area, as moose are their main prey. As well, the biologists say if there is little food, the wolves will have fewer pups. From a estimated moose population of 1,600 seven years ago, moose numbers now sit at about 300. The Revelstoke herd of caribou is roughly 120-135 animals.

Meanwhile, California bighorn sheep are in major trouble, with a new and threatening disease affecting the Ashnola/Similkameen herd. First discovered in Wyoming many years ago and diag-nosed as scabies, it has now spread to BC. It’s a mite that multiplies on ani-mals, feeding on the skin and causing a heavy crust around the eyes, ears, and body, causing itchiness, loss of appetite, and subse-quently weight loss.

Another major concern: wild sheep intermingle with domestic herds, and domestic sheep carry pneumonia-causing bacteria, to which the wild sheep have little immunity. Go to www.bcwf.bc.ca for a full report.

For years, our Wildlife Branch has struggled with finances to support studies and transfers of sheep to disease-free areas, or otherwise enhance struggling herds hit with major predation/com-munal hunting, or disease. Thankfully, we have the Wild Sheep Society whose members have come to the forefront to help our majestic big-horn/thinhorn populations. How valuable are our sheep to hunters? The article in the Oregon newspaper on shuttling sheep, (www.bendbulle-tin.com, December14th) stated that thousands of hunters apply for fewer than 100 tags. It’s simi-lar in BC for our Rocky Mountain and California bighorns.

Elk: Six more Roosevelt elk were poached last week near Port Albemi. Go to Google for infor-mation. This has been an ongoing situation over the years, with the finger being pointed at certain renegade individuals from local First Nations bands and/or white hunters being responsible. Now, there is a reward posted at $30,000. It’s a sad, disgusting situation for every law-abiding, ethical hunter/angler in BC. We also know cer-tain locals kill/sell quarters of moose/elk/deer/for profit, and little can be done. CO’s say it’s because it’s under the guise of communal hunt-ing.

Ungulates in trouble

By Tom Fletcher, Black PressCampsite fees are going up between $2 and $5

at provincial parks around B.C. this spring.After March 15, a night under the stars at

Golden Ears or Gordon Bay or Goldstream Provincial Park goes from $30 to $35 per night, while many more remote campsites will see a smaller increase in fees.

Fees at 40 provincial campgrounds in the Kootenay-Okanagan, Northern, South Coast and West Coast regions are increasing at least $3 a night, and 141 of B.C.’s 204 provincial camp-grounds will see a $2 increase.

The Ministry of Environment says this is the first province-wide increase in fees since 2010. Rates for backcountry camping and use of sani-stations remain at $5, and fees for mooring buoys, picnic shelters and group camping are unchanged. Parking fees for day-use lots, a

failed experiment from 10 years ago, are not being reintroduced.

The ministry says the varied rate increases take into account local demand and economic conditions as well as private camping availabili-ty. Sought-after locations such as Cultus Lake and Shuswap Lake charge $35 a night for a site with up to four adults, while nearby private campgrounds charge higher rates.

The province collected about $17 million from its park and recreation fees last year, while spending $22 million on direct park operating costs.

Campsite use is on the rise in B.C. since the introduction of an online reservation service called Discover Camping, which opens for the season at 9 a.m. on March 15. The system han-dled 133,000 reservations last year, nearly a 10 per cent increase over 2013.

I use some really neat stuff in my business, stuff that isn’t available in local retail stores but which I get asked about often. So, I’m going to let you in on some insider scoops on some of these things and tell you what they are, what problems they solve, and where you can buy them.

1. I see a lot of bay windows with curtains that don’t draw all the way to each side because of the rod. I use a bay window rod that lets you

draw the curtains all the way to the outer edge – the rod is attached to the brackets along the top of the rod so the drapes aren’t hindered by brackets. It can be bent to match the angles of your bay, in any length, or it can be used as a straight rod. It doesn’t look as icky as the old I-Beam rod, so it is a great, inex-pensive alternative to that as well.

2. Non-tilting drapery pin. Thrilling stuff, no? A drapery pin is

Five secret thingsthe S-shaped hook that connects your pleated drapes to the rod or wooden ring. What makes the non-tilting pin special is that it has a little crook in it that keeps the top of the drape straight, preventing it from tilting forward. If your drapes fall away from the ring or rod, just replacing the pins may fix the problem.

3. Fling rods. These are the metal, plastic or wood rods used to pull drapes closed or open rather than grabbing onto the drape itself with your hand. They connect to the leading win-dow-side edge at the top edge of hand-drawn drapes and come in a plethora of lengths, and can even be had made of stained wood with dec-orative ends.

4. Really good iron-on seaming tape. Hem drapes, skirts, pants, mend small rips, fasten panels of pre-made drapery together – profes-

sional-grade iron-on seaming tape, if applied correctly, won’t come apart in the wash. I use this stuff a lot.

5. Clutches for Roman blinds – these are the gizmos that control the cord lift and lock. I know a lot of you are making your own window cov-erings because you are asking me where to buy these components. The only one typically avail-able doesn’t work that well, for several reasons, and I’ve found a great clutch at a reasonable price.

Visit the website, Designsewlutions.ca for images of these things, and the information on where you can buy them.

Each summer for the past 15 years, colourful banners have graced Sicamous’s main thor-oughfares, thanks to the efforts of the Sicamous Banner Project Committee and many local volunteer artisans. Summer 2015 will be no exception, and this year’s annual banner painting loca-tion at the Sicamous recreation centre opens for registration on Monday, February 2nd at 10:00 a.m.

“We are calling our theme this year ‘Canadiana.’ We are asking participants to create a banner cele-brating their Canadian pride, and, as a special twist, we want each banner to include a lit-tle salute to the

Canadian maple leaf flag, which is celebrat-ing its 50th anniversary this year,” says local artist and business-woman Victoria Simpson, one of the founding members of the banner project.

“We are not wanting to have all our banners looking like Canadian flag replicas. We thought it would be fun if we have a “Where is Elmo?” effect with the banners. The little Canadian flags could to be a little bit hidden within the picture, not the main focus.”

The banner project area is open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each weekday. Participants are reminded that the planning and painting must be completed by

February 27th. There will be a volunteer on site to answer ques-tions and assist as needed. The registra-tion fee is $15.

For more informa-tion call Victoria at 250-836-3537.

On Thursday, February 12, why not catch the Dharma Dolls, with Tanya Lipscomb, Melina Moore and Judy Rose providing vocals, and Jim Leonard on keyboard.

The Dharma Dolls seamlessly combine their musical styles to sing their way through the worlds of opera, jazz, pop and original composi-tions for one unforgettable display of song, sur-prises and sass.

The Dharma Dolls play Thursday, January 15 at the Banquet Room of Shuswap Chefs Restaurant, 551 Trans Canada Highway. (One building east of Tim Hortons in downtown Salmon Arm.)

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the music starts at 7:00 p.m. Admission by donation.

Based on the exuberant stage hit of the same name and told through the songs of pop-folk band The Proclaimers, Sunshine On Leith fol-lows Davy and Ally, best friends and Scottish soldiers who return home to their families in Edinburgh after serving and surviving tragedy together in Afghanistan. With their futures uncertain and dealing with survivor’s guilt, both must learn to readjust into civilian life outside of the army and deal with the everyday struggles of obtaining jobs, family crisis, and how to move forward in their neglected romantic lives. It is a tale of a tightly-knit family, and the three cou-ples bound to it, as they experience the euphoria and heartache that punctuates all relationships.

Sunshine on Leith shows at 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 31st at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

I can’t believe that I’m reading this. It sounds ridiculous. The BC government is going to slaughter 184 wolves to save 18 caribou. Once again the BC government is launching a war on wolves. What’s worse is that the government knows it won’t work. In the BC wolf manage-ment plan they stated themselves that, “The ultimate reason that caribou have declined is likely habitat fragmentation and loss...To date, B.C.’s wolf management actions have not been successful in meeting Mountain Caribou recov-ery objectives.” The government has tried before to save caribou populations by culling wolves and it hasn’t worked before; it won’t work now. That’s because wolves are not the problem and definitely not the cause of the declining caribou population. Habitat degrada-tion is the leading cause in the population decline. Things like clearcutting, logging, pipe-lines, oil sands and recreational activities such as snowmobiling are to blame. Caribou are adapted to living in areas where no other ungu-lates can survive. This choice of habitat is an important predator avoidance strategy. When there is so much habitat loss it pushes the cari-bou into smaller areas with higher concentra-tions, which makes them easy targets for preda-tors. Not to mention that the clearcutting and road building certainly makes hunting easier for the wolves. In addition, the habitat loss and fragmentation alters their habitat to start increasing the growth of shrubs. This opens up new territory for other ungulate species such as deer, elk, moose. Wolves will follow their main food source, and this new territory is often where they end up which increases the preda-tion on caribou as a result. In addition to this, wolves are highly intelligent creatures with very complex social relationships, much like humans. When a pack member is killed it dis-

rupts the entire pack, and research shows that as a result it can increase reproductive rates in wolves and destabilizes pack structure causing more predation of livestock and other non-na-tive prey.

For decades the B.C. government has ignored the science and continued to side with lobbyists from groups like the Cattlemen’s Association. Now they are getting into bed with other orga-nizations such as the US Fish and Wildlife Service which has a history of scapegoating wolves for the benefit of livestock producers. In addition to all of this the government says that the wolf population is stable enough to sustain a cull, yet it is almost impossible to get an accu-rate population number since the assessment of changes in population numbers is based on both anecdotal information and records of the num-ber of wolves killed. “Trends in the wolf popu-lation are estimated primarily from changes in reported harvest, along with observational reports from ministry staff, First Nations, stake-holders, and the general public.” As stated in the BC wolf management plan. Yet this “stable population” estimate of 8,000 wolves is consid-erably less than the provinces 17,000 grizzly bears which has been designated as a species of concern; seems a little conflicting.

The B.C. government will continue to use scientifically unsound reasons to scapegoat the wolf in order to divert attention from the funda-mental problem of ongoing habitat destruction and displacement caused by human encroach-ment due to the advancement of industry. There are other ways to protect and help ensure a future population for the caribou but shooting wolves from helicopters isn’t one of them. Please write to your government to voice your opposition to this barbaric plan.

Sponsored by Pets Plus Us®, BMO® Bank of Montreal, Hill’s® Science Diet®, Reynolds® StayBrite© baking cups and Agency 59, National Cupcake Day is designed to help raise much-needed funds for all ani-mals, big and small, that have been abused, abandoned or are in need of help.

“It’s time to put on those aprons and start baking to help the animals of BC! The event is fun and easy to get involved in,” says Craig Daniell, CEO of the BC SPCA. “Visit the www.nationalcupcakeday.com web-site to register, then urge your family and friends to donate to your Online bakery. On February 23rd, give your donors a cupcake in thanks for their generosity. It’s that simple.”

Hi Reena,I’m so glad you have a blog now, that

way I can go back on some articles you have had in the past. Also, we go away for winter, so I can keep up with you that way. I have a question: My friend had a new driveway poured, and he also had an apple tree nearby that dropped those little apples on the driveway with a splat and left dark brown marks. What would you suggest he use to remove those marks? I know it’s too late in the season now, but hopefully you can suggest something for the spring. Thanking you in advance, Elvera

Dear Elvera,Sprinkle the driveway with a box of bak-

ing soda. Using a stiff brush, dampened with water. Scrub the area until the stains are gone. If the stains remain, scrub the driveway with one of the following: laun-dry detergent and water or TSP (trisodium phosphate) and water or washing soda and water. Rinse. As a last resort, combat tough spills with muriatic acid and a pressure washer. Apply the acid following the man-ufacturer’s directions, and let it soak for several seconds. Keep in mind that muriatic acid is a dangerous product; if you use it, wear rubber or latex gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing; and never wash it down storm drains. Test all solutions on an inconspicuous area first.

Dear Reena,Can you please tell me how to clean

wood finish cupboards? Also, what is a great recipe for ‘Monster Cookies’? Sincerely, Lorraine

Dear Lorraine,Mild dish soap and water is all that is

recommended for cleaning the grease off of kitchen cupboards (just a damp clean cloth or mildly abrasive cloth and no excess water, dry immediately). This is very effec-tive, since dish soap is created as a grease cutter.

Here is a wonderful recipe that makes six dozen ‘Best Monster Cookies’! In a bowl combine 1 cup butter, 1 and a half cups peanut butter (if you don’t like peanut but-ter, substitute 1 cup margarine for peanut butter), 2 cups brown sugar and 2 cups white granulated sugar. Add 4 eggs and 1 tbsp. vanilla, beat until smooth. To the bat-ter add, 3 cups flour, 5 cups rolled oats, 2 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. baking powder and 1 tsp. salt. Mix until combined. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup M & M’s. Drop by tablespoons onto greased cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 10 min-utes or until edges start to turn light brown. Freeze leftovers. Extra tip: You can substi-tute peanuts or walnuts for the same amount of some of the candy.

Hi Reena,I own a water cooler that is about 10

years old. I have misplaced the directions for cleaning the inside of my cooler. I seem to remember using a bleach solution to clean the reservoir. Can you give me sug-gestions please? Thank you in advance, Inez

Dear Inez,Health Canada recommends that you

clean your cooler system after every bottle

change. Begin by disconnecting the unit from the wall. Remove the bottle from the cooler unit. Drain the water through the blue faucet into a bucket. Disconnect any removable parts from the unit. Wash parts thoroughly with dish soap and water. Rinse. If you have a hot and cold dispenser, plug the hot dispenser off using a cork or plug. Doing this prevents sanitizer from getting into the hot tank. Combine one gallon water and one tbsp. vinegar. With this solution, clean all of the interior surfac-es of the reservoir. Let the solution sit for 7 minutes. Fill reservoir full of fresh bottle water and drain the water through the cold faucet. Repeat three times. Remove cork from the hot tank and replace all parts. Plug unit into wall. You can use 1 tsp. bleach instead of 1 tbsp. Vinegar; however, I prefer vinegar since it is safe for consumption.

Dear Reena,A very recent column suggested that

Meghan’s boyfriend’s “world’s worst man-ners” were primarily a result of sub-cultural variances. While I whole-heartedly agree with your explanation and solution, I am slightly bewildered by Meghan’s concern that her ill-manneredly boyfriend “leaves his napkin on the table when he goes [away] to the bathroom”. Where does she expect him to leave his napkin?

I was under the impression that the nap-kin should always be left on the table when leaving, for whatever reason with the only exception that the (home) hostess would place her napkin on her chair-seat when she arose to attend to items to or from the kitch-

en. Have I been wrong all these many years? Has this napkin-placing etiquette changed? Thank-you for a truly fascinating column, James

Dear James,Nice that you have given this matter

some thought! Manner experts advise that if you need to leave the table during a meal, place your napkin on the seat of your chair. You are never supposed to put your napkin back onto the table before the meal has ended. According to North American eti-quette, at the end of the meal the hostess picks up his/her napkin and places it on the table to the left of his/her plate. When this occurs, guests also place their napkin on the left of their plate. This indicates that the meal is over.

Fabulous Tip of the Week:• I recently read an article about rabbits in

the yard eating things we do not want them to eat. I found an excellent inexpensive, environmentally friendly and easy solution. Grate Irish Spring bar soap just like cheese and sprinkle it around problem areas (or around perimeter of property) to keep rab-bits away. Submitted by Mel

I enjoy your questions and tips – keep them coming! Missed a column? Can’t remember a solution? Need a speaker for an upcoming event? Interested in grocery coupons? Check out my blog/website: reena.ca

SPORTS & LEISURE

By Moira McCollImagine the thrill of skiing a slalom course, the

adrenalin rush as you turn by the gates! Now imagine what that experience would be like if you ski on one leg, ski in a sit ski, or you are a skier who is visually impaired or behaviourally challenged. The Carter Classic Memorial Dual Slalom is an annual Fundraiser for Silver Star Adaptive Snow Sports (SSASS) and offers this thrill to anyone willing to give it a try. The event is open to teams consisting of able-bodied skiers and skiers with disabilities. This means you, your friends, relatives or colleagues can join in on the fun!

Based at Silver Star Mountain, SSASS is a volun-teer-run organization of trained instructors who are matched to students with dis-abilities so they can learn and enjoy the thrill of skiing or snowboarding. Lessons are scheduled throughout the win-ter and are also offered to out-of-town guests with disabili-ties who are visiting the resort. Once during the season SSASS invites the public to join them for the infamous Carter Classic. This year the day is Saturday February 21.

Andy Mather, a co-chairperson of this event for the previous 13 years, says, “The Carter Classic is a great event. It brings the public, the resort and SSASS together for a really amazing day. It gives our students an opportunity to ski on a team in a race-like environment and have fun with others.”

The name Carter Classic acknowledges the founding family of the The North Okanagan Disabled Ski Association, now known as SSASS. It is held in memory of Danielle Carter, one of the first students, who passed away in 2001, and her mom Donna Carter, who organized the first funding and training of volunteers.

Silver Star is a huge sponsor for the event, setting up the course on lower Big Dipper, pro-viding the timing equipment and everything else needed for a real ski/snowboard event. Other

sponsors are Quickturn Production Machining Ltd, the Heidi Lussi Real Estate Team and Dugas Law.

“We are looking for teams of three or four participants who will be matched with an adap-tive team member” says Laurie Spearin, this year’s organizer. “No racing skills are required and everyone has a chance to win. It is a ‘guess-timation’ event where you match your guessed time with your actual time. So it doesn’t matter

if it takes 30 seconds or five minutes to do the course.” She adds, “I’d like to see some local business teams challenge each other for best time guess-timates, or head-to-head races down the dual slalom course, or best costumes.” Part of the fun is creating a team name and dressing in costumes.

At the luncheon reception, prizes are awarded for best individual and team ‘guessti-mations,’ best costumes, best wipeout and the most funds raised by a team and an indi-vidual. As part of the entry fee, team members are requested to collect donations to help sup-

port SSASS programs.Buffie Moir has participated in the Carter

Classic with her family several times. “My boys love the Carter Classic. They are trained ski rac-ers who take every opportunity to ski a slalom course. But mostly they are amazed by the par-ticipants with disabilities and what they can do despite their challenges. The way the race is organized, everybody, regardless of their ability can go out and have a lot of fun.”

Logan Leach, aged 12, is looking forward to his third Carter Classic. His mom Kim says she was excited but nervous the first time. “Logan (who is visually impaired) gets to experience the thrill of a real slalom course.” When asked what he thinks of the Carter Classic, Logan answers “It’s awesome!”

A day of barrier-free skiing

PhoneDISTRIBUTION • 250-832-2131

By Peter KociubaAtom hockey got a boost in

Salmon Arm as an all-female team hit the ice last Sunday at the Shaw Centre. The newly formed team, which consists of girls age 7-12 and is made up of players from Novice, Atom and Peewee age groups will play a series of exhibition games to finish out the hockey season against similar teams from other regions.

Salmon Arm welcomed Kamloops to the pond on the week-end, and fans were treated to an end-to-end contest with the home team coming out on top by a one goal margin. After Kamloops took a one goal lead early in the second period, Taylor Sanford opened the scoring for Salmon Arm, flying

down the wing and blasting a wrist shot past the visiting netminder. Defender Natasha Kociuba handed Salmon Arm the lead when she car-ried the puck on a coast-to-coast rush, beating out the Kamloops defenders to shoot a rocket low stick side on the Kamloops goalten-der. Sanford would get her second of the afternoon later in the frame on a breakaway, slipping the puck through the five-hole on the defenseless goaltender, assisted by Brooklyn Rasmussen. Kamloops would claw back within one later in the second, but that would be as close as they would come, Salmon Arm taking the game by a 3-2 final.

Bernice May Smallpiece

1921 - 2015

Passed over peacefully at Bastion Place in Salmon

Arm, BC on Friday, January 23, 2015 at age 93. Bernice is

predeceased by her husbands, Bob Smallpiece (Sept 11, 2014)

and Wilson Roberts (Sept 14, 1959), her son-in-law Lyle Quigley (Dec 31, 1996), her parents Charles and Rosella Root, and seven siblings.

She is lovingly remembered by daughter Eloise Quigley of Watervalley, AB, sons Byron (Janice) Roberts of Prince George, BC and Ross (Holly) Roberts of Hattiesburg, MS, 8 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.

Born at home March 13, 1921 in Killdeer, SK, the second youngest of 8 children, she grew up and was schooled in Killdeer and Rockglen where she met Wilson Roberts during high school years. In 1941 she moved to Regina with her family, attended Business school, operated a boarding house with her mother, worked for the Dept. of Natural Resources and exchanged long distance love letters with Wilson for 5 years. They married in 1946 and moved to Reid Lake, BC to dairy farm and raise a family. After Wilson passed in 1959, she moved to Prince George where she worked as a bookkeeper to support and raise her young family.

In 1969 she married Bob Smallpiece and in 1981 relocated to Salmon Arm where they eventually retired and enjoyed many friends and blessed years together, including travels near and far.

Funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM, Saturday, January 31 at the Carlin Community Hall (16K west of SA on Hwy 1); interment at Mount Ida Cemetery; a reception will follow at the hall.

LOFTUS, VIRGINIA MAE “PIDGE”

April 14, 1928 – January 22, 2015

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Pidge on Thursday, January 22, 2015 after a lengthy illness. The matriarch of the Loftus family was born in Edmonton, Alberta on April 14, 1928 and later moved to Calgary where she and husband George “Bud” raised their 6 children. The last 39 years have been spent in the Shuswap area where they enjoyed many friends.

Her love of life was contagious and her presence in a room could never be missed. She was a passionate sports fan, a fantastic homemaker, and a gifted artisan. Her adeptness with a needle and a sewing machine was admired by all.

Pidge will be forever remembered and dearly missed by her husband of 64 years, Bud, and their 6 children: Robert, Jim (Brenda), Michael (Yvonne), Patrick (Linda), Cindy (Rob), and Tammy (Ted). She will hold a special place in the hearts of her 12 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Pidge was predeceased by grandson Michael Robinson in 1997.

The Loftus family would like to thank the incredible staff at Shuswap Lake Hospital and Dr. Kevin Goldberg for their care and compassion.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Pidge’s name may be made to the Shuswap Lake Hospital Foundation.

A “Celebration of Life” for Pidge is being planned for Saturday, April 18, 2015 with details to follow.

Roland Frederic Muller

Roland Joseph Frederic Muller died peacefully January 22, 2015 in Salmon Arm of complications from diabetes. He was born January 1, 1942 in Bantzenheim, France. He is survived by his wife Julia, son Christopher (Kayla), daughter Catherine (Walter) and grandson Hudson. He is also survived by his brother Daniel in Nanaimo, and sisters, Gabreille and Raymonde in France, and many nieces and nephews. In his younger years he lived an adventuresome life with many accomplishments, and in his later years, in his own quiet and private way, enjoyed many interests and hobbies on his beloved acreage. He will be especially remembered for his skills in fixing computers and anything else that didn’t work and shouldn’t be thrown away. He will be sadly missed by family and friends. Many thanks for the help and support during this difficult time. As with his wishes, his ashes will be spread in the spring, followed by an open house.

CAPRICORN Capricorn, you have so much to do now that your mind may be in a complete jumble. Others will come at you with questions, but take a deep breath and answer them one at a time.

AQUARIUS Change is not the best idea right now, Aquarius. It is much better to stick with the status quo for a little while longer. Then you will have enough stability to make a change..

PISCES

ARIES Aries, you are inspired to take on the world, but you may want to focus on smaller goals this week. Finishing a long-lingering work project is a viable option.

TAURUS Taurus, something does not seem to be falling into place. Take stock of things at home and at work to see if you can crack this nut. A little more investigation many be necessary.

GEMINI You may be offered a professional opportunity this week that is too good to pass up, Gemini. Despite this great offer, do your best to stay focused on work for the next several days.

CANCER Exercise caution and do not jump to any conclusions at work, Cancer. While you may know what your boss expects from you, it is better to wait to hear what he or she has to say.

LEO Leo, you can envision exciting adventures ahead, and those times will be here before you know it. Channel your enthusiasm so you can get a head start on planning your adventure.

VIRGO Virgo, you have a desire to be different from everyone else this week. It’s good to be original, but don’t stray too far off the beaten path or you may find yourself lost.

LIBRALibra, a friend may shock you by doing something really outrageous. You do not know what to make of this change in personality, but do your best to take it in stride.

SCORPIO Scorpio, work figures to put a lot on your plate in the coming week. You can handle everything that comes your way, so long as you keep your cool and continue to work hard.

SAGITTARIUS You may be tempted to sneak off and play hooky from work, Sagittarius. Just make sure you handle all of your obligations first. Now is not the best time to kick up your heels.

Pisces, you have many new ideas about how to get rich quick, but you will probably want to find more sensible ways to earn a living.

PUZZLE NO. SU151310

HOW TO PLAY: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 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!
