ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. CW161210

CAPRICORN Capricorn, it may be frightening to reveal your true feelings about something, especially when the truth might change your life in a dramatic way. Muster your courage.

AQUARIUSOthers appreciate all that you do for them, Aquarius. But sometimes they have to do for themselves to learn valuable lessons. This week is a time to step aside.

PISCESPisces, while you are busy helping other people, you may discover that it’s time to take a step back and tend to your own needs.

ARIES Aries, nding time to get everything done can be challenging. Fortunately, you have quite a few friends willing to spare some time and lend you a helping hand.

TAURUSDif cult decisions can take time to work through, Taurus. Although you want to address all situations, this week isn’t a good one for making big decisions.

GEMINI Gemini, something keeps nagging at you and you can’t get it out of your head. Trust your intuition and be on guard. With some careful thought, a solution will present itself.

CANCERA hectic schedule may have you feeling some pressure, Cancer. Keep in mind that all of your deadlines are self-imposed, so just factor a little more time into your week.

LEO Leo, sometimes you have to make a few mistakes before you get things right. Don’t let this worry you, as trial and error is all a part of the learning process.

VIRGO Virgo, you may suspect what’s around the corner, but you are not ready to take the plunge just yet. Give it a little more time until you feel ready and secure.

LIBRA Work with your doctor to develop a plan for meeting some healthy resolutions, Libra. It is important to make your health a priority this week.

SCORPIOScorpio, it may prove impossible to escape all of your responsibilities right now, but you can let a few slide for the time being. Tackle the most daunting projects rst.

Three key economic events in December 2015 set the stage for what appears to be an interesting investment

year in 2016. The Federal Reserve boosted interest rates for the first time in nine years, while the Eurozone, in con-

trast, offered greater monetary easing; and oil prices continued to slide 12%, ending the year down 36%. These factors, in part, have prompted most major out-lets to call for a lackluster year in most equity mar-kets, the U.S. in particular. JP Morgan notes

that in 2015, a standard balanced portfo-lio of 50/50 developed market stocks and longer-term government bonds would have delivered a small negative return of -1%. The same portfolio in 2014 would have delivered a total return of roughly 9%. In 2016, JP Morgan expects the same hypothetical basket will deliver somewhere in between those two figures. I personally think JP Morgan is viewing things through rose-tinted glasses and is out of touch with reality and market fundamentals – 2016 will not be a good year. The S&P index, what most people refer to as “the market,” has been in a bull market for a record 83 months and counting! In com-parison, average bull markets last roughly 45 months. Of more concern

Is the party over? insightsCOURTESY OF MUSHALUK FINANCIAL

by Jeffrey Mushalukhowever, was the market breadth in 2015 where there were far more companies down than up. Had it not been for the FAANG group: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google, 2015 would have been a down year. These select five compa-nies, due to their market weighted size, propped up the indices last year but that has changed through the first week of 2016. U.S. stocks are off to their worst start in history. Five trading days into the year and the S&P is down -6.0% while the Dow is down -6.2%. So it appears that the party is over as the Federal Reserve starts its voyage into interest rate normalization, or so we are told. Regardless of monetary policy, don’t expect 2016 to be a good year in capital markets. The market is grossly overvalued and over-loved, which is normally a recipe for a signifi-cant correction. The Canadian market is now officially in bear territory, dropping by more than -20% since oil peaked in 2014.

Medical Services Plan premiums, elec-tricity bills and vehi-cle insurance rates are up in 2016, reviving criticism of the B.C. government’s con-stant boast about keeping taxes low.

MSP premiums are up from $144 to $150 as of Jan. 1, for a fam-ily of three earning more than $30,000 a year. For a single per-son in the same income group, the rate goes from $72 to $75, with lower rates for lower incomes down to $22,000 a year, where premiums drop to zero.

B.C. is now the only province in Canada with a health care fee, and it has risen about 40 per cent since 2010. Premier Christy Clark has defended the fee as a signal to citizens about the enormous cost of pro-viding health care.

BC Hydro rates have been politically dictated since Clark and Energy Minister Bill Bennett inter-vened to cap rate increases in 2013. Hydro rates jumped nine per cent in 2014, followed by annual increases of six, four, 3.5 and three per cent in the 10-year rate plan. Starting with the proposed four per cent increase in 2016, the independent B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) is reviewing if rate increases can be lower than what is

capped in the rate plan.

I n s u r a n c e Corporation of B.C. basic vehicle insur-ance went up by 5.5 per cent on Nov. 1, an increase still subject to review by the BCUC. That works out to an increase of $3.70 per month added for the average driver.

ICBC had proposed a 6.7 per cent increase to cover increasing costs of personal inju-ry claims and fraud, but the province gave it permission for a one-time transfer of $450 million from its optional insurance business to subsidize the basic rate.

In a year-end inter-view, NDP leader John Horgan stopped short of promising to eliminate MSP premi-ums, but he called it a

“regressive tax” that would be part of a broad review of B.C. taxation fairness if he wins the 2017 elec-tion.

The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation says the people who benefit from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s promised middle-class tax cut will see most of those savings eaten up by provincial and munic-ipal tax increases.

Trudeau vowed to reduce the federal income tax bracket between $45,282 and $90,563 from 22 per cent to 20.5 per cent, and increase the rate for income over $200,000 from 29 to 33 per cent. The change would provide up to $2,000 in tax relief for middle-in-come earners, with dual-income house-

holds benefiting most, CTF federal director Aaron Wudrick says.

Municipal taxes are expected to increase across the province in 2016, with local coun-cils preparing to set budgets for the new fiscal year that starts April 1. Port Alberni has proposed a seven per cent increase, and the CTF says it hasn’t found any B.C. municipalities yet that propose to freeze or lower property tax rates.

With the rapid rise in property prices continuing in parts of the Lower Mainland, the B.C. Assessment Authority sent out 37,000 letters in December, warning single-family home-owners to brace for a big jump in their assessed value.

COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

familychiropractic

My job as a chiropractor is what I would con-sider to be my “dream job.” I get to help people along a journey to recovering their health and wellness and through that time frequently get the honour to witness all kinds of healing miracles. Unfortunately for a number of my patients, when it comes to jobs and employment, workplaces can be extremely stressful places to spend their days.

Whether one is in their dream job or not, all workplaces involve varying amounts of stress because all jobs involve a certain amount of per-sonal responsibility. Unless you don’t care about keeping that your job, most employees try their best to fulfill their responsibilities; and that can result in stress. When a portion of work involves a deadline, even when it is an enjoyable task it can become stressful.

Stress can also show up in the workplace from a financial aspect because your employment is usually your main source of income. Financial pressures outside of work can cause real or imag-ined fear of losing that source of income. Add in challenging interactions with coworkers or cus-tomers at work, and the emotional stress can easily become overwhelming.

Can this stress lead to serious health problems? A recent literature review out of Harvard Business School suggests that workplace stress can actual-ly be deadly. They analyzed 228 studies and found that simply having “job insecurity” will increase the odds of reporting health problems by 50%. High job demands increase the risk of your GP diagnosing an illness by 35%, and long hours at work can increase mortality by 20%!

The above numbers are alarming on their own, and when one adds all other stresses outside of the workplace it can be disastrous. So, with the significant risks mentioned above, it is extremely important workers be constantly aware of stress and consciously work on reducing it. Working with your co-workers to find ways to reduce or ideally prevent stressful issues from arising is also imperative. Finally, if there are stressful issues arising at work that are out of your con-trol, speak to management sooner than later to get some help to improve your situation.

Chiropractic care reduces the effects of stress on your spine, nervous system and health. Dr. Warren Gage is available at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic and can be reached at (250) 803-0224.

A dinner plate full of stars to the fellow who paid for our lunch. Last Wednesday, while hav-ing the best intentions to treat our good friends for lunch at Barley Station Brew Pub, we encountered a “Random Act of Kindness”! When ready to pay the bill, we found that the bill had already been paid. Later, we learned that the person who paid the tab was a former Grade 4 student of our friend, and had paid not only for him and his wife, whom he knew, but also for us. Thank you so much! - Nel & Gordon

The B.C. govern-ment is investing an extra $3 million to expand a program that tailors cancer treat-ment to the genetic makeup of individual patients.

The B.C. Cancer Agency is ramping up its Personalized Onco-Genomics (POG) proj-ect after seeing encour-aging results, includ-ing reversal of some cancers thought to be all but untreatable. Researchers cautioned that the technique isn’t a cure for cancer, but it has been effective in identifying drugs that can reduce a life-threat-ening condition to a manageable chronic illness.

Dr. Janessa Laskin, the cancer specialist in charge of the POG

program, said three quarters of the oncolo-gists in B.C. are now participating in the program, selecting and referring patients from all over the province. The technique is “the future of oncology,” and the goal is to keep expanding it until every cancer patient can be assessed, Laskin said.

Premier Christy Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake announced the addi-tional funds at the B.C. Cancer Agency in Vancouver Tuesday. Clark said the intent is to increase funding further in the coming years for a program that is attracting inter-national interest and financial support.

The agency high-lighted patients helped by the technique. A

Personalized cancer treatment41-year-old non-smok-er, Jennifer Strack described her shock at being diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer 18 months ago. Strack underwent five rounds of conventional che-motherapy with little effect, as tumours grew in her lungs and spread to her liver.

The POG program identified one drug that was not effective, but Strack began tak-ing another one that halted the growth and reduced the tumours. Laskin said the genetic testing identifies drugs that would otherwise never be considered.

Zuri Scrivens was treated at age 33 for breast cancer, and when it reappeared two years later she was enrolled in the POG program. Her cancer went into remission after a diabetes drug was used in combina-tion with a breast can-cer drug.

Since clinical trials began in 2012, more than 350 patients with 50 different types of cancer have had their genetic material stud-ied in the program. With private donations through the B.C. Cancer Foundation, the new government funds and internation-al grant support, the target for POG is to enrol 2,000 patients in the next five years.

For more informa-tion on the program, visit its website at www.bccancerfounda-tion.com/POG

With so many brands and types of dog food available at the supermarket, pet store, and veterinarian’s office, it’s hard to decipher what, precisely, is the differ-ence between them all and how to select the best option for your pet.

Good nutrition is imperative to your pet’s general health. Good puppy for-mulas are designed to help your puppy grow cognitively and physically by hav-ing a higher protein, fat, calcium, and omega 3 fatty acid content than adult foods. Dogs over the age of 7 should be fed a formula that reflects the dietary requirements of a senior dog. Generally, mature dogs are less active and therefore require less fat than younger dogs. Mature formulas might also include omega 3 fatty acids and glucosamine to support joint health and reduce inflammation and might be formulated to decrease tar-tar buildup and promote den-tal health.

In general, the quality of dog food really is reflected in the price. Economical brands will feature ingredi-ents that have little to no nutritional value to your dog. “Meat meal” can be obtained from any source of meat and its nutritional value is therefore ques-tionable: look instead for specifical-ly-named meats (“chicken”, “lamb”, “fish”). By-product meal is not neces-sarily a ‘bad’ ingredient, as many ingre-dients that are considered by-products (such as liver) are actually very nutri-

ent-rich and high in vitamins, but “chicken by-product meal” is a lower value ingredient then “chicken” or “chicken meal”. Carbohydrates from cereal grains (corn, rice, barley, wheat, oats) are a great source of energy for your dog and pro-vide dry kibble with its structure and texture. However, not all carbohydrates are created equal–look for the words “ground” and “meal” and avoid “mill

run.” Fibre keeps your dog satiated, aids in diges-

tion, and sup-ports colon

health. Again, though, the quality of the

fibre is important to consider: brown rice and beet pulp, for instance, are excellent sources of fibre, while cellu-lose and any type of “hull” are fillers

and offer no nutritional value. Sugars—such as corn syrup—are addicting to dogs (just as they are to humans), offer no value, and should be avoided.

Once you have determined a good choice of food for your dog, you should work with your veterinarian to decide how much of the food your dog requires to maintain a healthy weight. A good starting point is to reference the infor-mation provided on most dog food bags, taking into account your dog’s personal level of activity (a sedentary dog will require far fewer calories per day then a very active dog). Puppies will need to be fed four times a day when they are

first weaned and gradually reduced to two meals. Adult dogs should be fed in two meals. Remember, too, that dry food should be stored in an air-tight container or in the bag if it has a zipper seal. Generally, dry food should be eaten within a few months—it can also be frozen. Wet food should be stored in the refriger-

ator once opened and eaten within a week.

Inform yourself about the dietary requirements of your pet by talking with your veterinarian; he/she will be able to take into account your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and medical history to help determine what type of food is most important for your pet.

PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE BEING PLANNEDFundraising is halfway to the $15,000 needed to hire a

consultant to do a feasibility study for a performing arts centre in Salmon Arm. Jake Jacobson, president of the board, wrote that the next phase will be a revised business concept to reflect the possibility of the Performing Arts Centre being located on part of the city’s portion of the old J. L. Jackson site.

Some board members had to step down in 2015. There is still a quorum, but if you would like to be a board member, contact Jake at [email protected] or 250-832-2300.

SMALL TRUCKING FIRM IN SALMON ARMIn December I bought a reconditioned fridge from

Erickson’s Appliances & Repair and asked Peter to deliv-er it to my place. He said he no longer delivers but he uses a local trucking firm. I said I didn’t know there was one. He showed me the poster for V&C Courier and said I probably know the owner. He runs the Greyhound Bus Depot.

I called 250-832-0727 and got Warren Keen at the bus depot. He was very busy with Christmas parcels coming and going, but said he would pick up the fridge that after-noon and leave it in the van till the next day. The next morning he phoned, and five minutes later he delivered it himself between buses. His business card says V&C Courier is agent for Greyhound Courier Express and is owned by Warren and Cheryl Keen. Very efficient deliv-ery.

ERICKSON’S APPLIANCES SCALING DOWNPeter Erickson services older appliances, and makes

house calls. His shop is at 603 3rd Ave. SW, not far from the west entrance to Centenoka, and it is full of parts. Reconditioned washers, dryers, stoves and fridges have a three-month warranty, but I found they last forever.

When I had his fridge delivered to my place before Christmas, I noticed the fridge that had been in my kitch-en had a sticker price written in black felt pen at the back, with his business card. It was purchased from his place too. Son-number-two bought it from Peter on November 20, 2003 for $275. I bought the newer, larger one on December 21, 2015 for $235. Imagine!

CAN THE LOCAL SPCA HAVE VISITATION TIMES?The Cat Café in Vancouver had to close for a few days

because it ran out of cats. All but two were adopted. The SPCA received more from the north and the café opened again. It is booked 16 weeks in advance.

The remodeled SPCA in Salmon Arm’s industrial park has some cats in cages in the reception room. Is it possi-ble to have visitation for two hours several days a week, and have a charge that includes refreshments?

TIRED OF TECHNOLOGY?This Christmas season probably had more people play-

ing with their gadgets and iPhones than any previous year. When the holiday was over, they might have real-ized that conversations with people were missing. The human contact is so important. Voice and touch.

MARITAL BREAKUPS HAPPEN IN JANUARYDecember and January are the months when most mar-

ital breakups happen, according to a television broadcast. Women usually initiate them. An estimated 20 to 30 per cent more breakups will take place this month, as emo-

tional payoff. Women have done their entertaining and they are not going to put another unhappy year into the family.

POPE GREGORY INVENTED GREGORIAN CALENDAREugene Stefaniuk, a retired Ukrainian Orthodox priest

who lived in Salmon Arm years ago and now lives in Vernon, was quick to correct my information about Julian and Gregorian calendars. He wrote: “The Julian Calendar did not start after Jesus’ birth but decades BEFORE His birth by Julius Caesar and that is why it is called Julian after Caesar’s name. In 1582-3 Pope Gregory invented the calendar that is used world wide today for business etc. There are no protestants using the Julian calendar, all use the Gregorian. Even the Ukrainain Catholics cele-brate their Christmas according to the Gregorian calendar with the exception of maybe the older, OLDER Ukrainian Catholics that stay with the Julian Calendar.”

IT’S TIME FOR PARENTS TO GROW UPThe next Maclean’s magazine will have an article titled

“The collapse of parenting: Why it’s time for parents to grow up.” The author says if anyone can be called the boss in modern, anti-hierarchical parenthood, it’s the children.

From the time my 50-ish children were young, it was determined that five-year-olds determine what is placed in a shopping cart. Their shopping list is made from tele-vision commercials.

S. A. SILVERBACKS 4, WENATCHEE WILD 0While three Silverbacks players sat out the game in

Wenatchee on Jan. 8th serving two-game suspensions for being involved in a multiple fight situation in a previous game, three “affiliated players” from Revelstoke, Kamloops, and Surrey (players on teams in lower divisions who aspire to play higher up) helped the Silverbacks win big in Wenatchee. Congratulations to AP Aaron Aragon for scoring one of the Silverbacks’ goals and being named the game’s Third Star and especially to the Silverbacks goalie Angus Redmond for being named both the Fortis Energy Player of the Game and the game’s First Star.

HEAD COACH HEADS WESTCongratulations to Silverbacks’ head coach Brandon

West for being selected head coach for Team West at the 2016 Canadian Junior Hockey League’s Prospects Game in Surrey on Jan. 26 against Team East. Brandon is in his fourth season with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks and has been head coach since the start of the 2014-15 season. This year, the Silverbacks sit second in the Interior Division behind Penticton, one of the top three hockey teams across Canada. Since taking over as the head coach, Brandon has a winning percentage of over 0.600.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIERS COME TO THE LOPPETTomorrow, January 16, 2016, hundreds of cross-coun-

try skiers will come to the Larch Hills for the 32nd annu-al Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet. The Larch Hills Ski Club hosted the very first ‘Larch Hills Marathon’ in January, 1985.

He died in a helicopter crash during the summer of 1985 while working with a forest fire-fighting crew.

REFUGEES IN CANADA MAY TOP 50,000Canada could double its intake of Syrian refugees this

year, said Canada’s minister of immigration and citizenship John McCallum. It was after he was in the Jordanian capital of Amman recently and said Canada’s resettlement program for Syrian refugees could double its intake to 50,000.

Canada’s new Liberal government is pushing forward with its pledge to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of February. The minister said Canada hopes to settle 35,000 to 50,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2016 with the UN refugee agency, the Jordanian government and the International Organization for Migration assisting with the vetting process.

SASKATCHEWAN PREMIER DECLARES2016 AS THE YEAR OF THE IMMIGRANTS

“Settlers from Ukraine helped build our province.”- Premier Brad WallThe premier has announced that 2016 will be the year

of Saskatchewan immigrants. The province is celebrating the 125th anniversary of the first wave of Ukrainian immigrants to Canada. He said: “Ukrainian culture and traditions are deeply embedded in the Saskatchewan mosaic.” It is one of the largest ethnic communities in Canada, having 1.3 million people of Ukrainian origin today.

CANADA SENDS AMBULANCES TO UKRAINEIn August, 2015, four Saskatchewan ambulances were

sent to transport war wounded in Ukraine during Russian military and paramilitary incursions into eastern Ukraine. The project and fundraising had been in the works for three years.

In January, 2016, Manitoba is sending three refurbished ambulances to Ukraine as a humanitarian aid to the peo-ple in Donbas, Ukraine, suffering from the Russian aggression. They were unveiled by Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger at a news conference outside the legislative building.

mallarkey by Daron Mayes

Over the holidays I got to watch my nephews play some hockey. One of my nephews lives and plays in Salmon Arm, and I have two others that live and play in Chilliwack. In both cases, they are younger than my boys and just starting out in their hockey careers.

With my boys having played or currently playing rep hockey; it’s always a treat to go watch the “little guys” again and reminisce about when my kids were that young. In both cases, my brothers-in-law are helping coach and it also reminded me of all the things I used to have to deal with when coaching that age group.

So if you have a five- or six-year-old son or daughter and you are considering coaching, here is a list of minimum requirements.

You need to be a doctor/nurse.Not a game will go by where you

don’t attend to someone’s “Owee.” Sometimes it’s the feet, sometimes a hand, perhaps even a head. Most “Owees” don’t need the first aid kit; just a little TLC.

You need to be a heating expert.It is important to know how to

keep the kids warm when playing in old arenas (ie. Sicamous or Enderby). Examples are blowing on their hands or rubbing their hands. A friend of mine once brought a stainless steel thermos of hot water to the bench that the kids took turns holding in order to stay warm. There is nothing worse than ten frozen kids on the bench waiting for their chance to get on the ice; so be prepared.

You need to be a referee/traffic cop.

When I say referee, I mean on the ice and off the ice. Off the ice can mean in the change room or on the bench or in the hall or pretty much anywhere. Most often the fights start because of someone “budg-ing” in front of someone. Remember, in their minds they

want to be first in line to shake hands, first on or off the bench and first to finish their water. The real challenge is trying to convince them they need to be first to the puck or first to pass!

You need to be a counselor.“Coach! A kid on the other team

stuck his tongue out at me!” “Coach! Number 15 told me ‘bad

game’ when we shook hands.” “Coach! That boy knocked me

down.” These are the things you hear on

the bench every game. You might even have to counsel a child after they score on their own goalie. This happened to my youngest once. He was so excited to score a goal and was beaming until he was told he had scored on his own team.

You need to be a circus perform-er.

You have to be able to make the kids laugh and juggle all at the same time. Juggling means fixing equipment, dispersing water from water bottles, tightening skates, loosening skates, cheering, telling jokes, jumping up and down to get Mom/Dad’s attention because someone needs to go to the bath-room, wiping tears, wiping noses and even waking kids up. The hard part is there are times that you need to do all of these things at the same time.

So are you ready to coach?! Did you make the grade? I know it seems overwhelming, but the rewards are just too good to pass up. Give it a shot!

Finally, for those parents and coaches whose kids are older; the best advice I can give is take the time to go watch some five- and six-year-olds again. It’ll remind you to keep things in perspective when you see these little ones smil-ing from ear to ear and more inter-ested in waving at their Mom or Dad than making sure they are scoring a goal.

For the last two years, CP rail has donated 10 Holiday Train tickets to MLA Greg Kyllo and his riding association. They sold them to constit-uents who wanted to ride the train from Sicamous to Notch Hills, and then donated the money to the food banks of Sicamous, Salmon Arm and Sorrento.

Kyllo’s Shuswap Riding President, Brian Cowan (right), presents $800 to David Byers, Community Services Coordinator with the Salvation Army New Hope Community Church. $400 was presented to the Sicamous Food Bank and $400 is going to the Sorrento Food Bank. Greg intends to continue this tradition every year that CP rail is generous enough to donate tickets.

On Sunday, January 24, Sheila Bibby will become the first female president of the Salmon Arm Legion Branch 62. She has been on the executive and has helped out at events, but she is look-ing forward to her new role.

“I would like to see more activities hap-pening here and have more people involved. Volunteers are wel-come,” she says with a strong emphasis.

Sheila has a lot of ideas and all of them include boosting up the volunteer base: “If we have quite a num-ber of volunteers, we can do things like a bingo, a games day, entertainment, lunch once a week, break-fasts...We need to sus-tain the Legion.”

She says not every-one realizes that the public can come to Legion; it’s not just for members.

“If a non-member comes in, we will sign them in.”

Mondays are crib nights, and Tuesdays evenings are all about darts. At the shuffle-board fun tournaments on Thursdays it’s a battle of the sexes with the girls verses the guys, and there is a meat draw on Saturdays. But pool, shuffleboard, and darts

are available on a daily basis.

Sheila is serious about increasing the revenues for the Legion because she has seen first-hand what good the funds do. She has known veterans who have had financial help to ensure they can live in com-fort when they have serious medical needs.

“And veterans’ pro-grams pay for things like the Meals on Wheels or house-clean-ing and yard mainte-nance for their widows – isn’t that great?”

The Legion gives bursaries to the grand-children and great-grandchildren of veterans. They also donate to the Salvation Army Food Bank, the Women’s Shelter, Shuswap Hospice, Children’s Emergency Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes, as well as the Veterans’ Assistance Society.

The money goes to good causes, but she understands how valu-able the Legion is to many people as a place of friendship. It’s early on a Friday afternoon. There are a number of people sitting around

A new face for the Legion

relaxing and visiting while several musi-cians have gathered in a circle and are jam-ming near the dart-boards. A few people are at the pool tables and the barbecue is ready because it’s the first Friday of the month and that means it’s Burger and Beer night. Everyone who walks in the door is greeted by a chorus of ‘hellos’.

“It’s very friendly here,” Sheila observes, “It’s a social club....It feels like family.”

That’s kind of the way she feels about Canada. Born in the state of Washington, Sheila came to Canada when she was 19, set-tling here permanently in 1974. What does she love about this country?

“Absolutely every-thing,” she says with a smile and her infec-tious laugh.

For 20 years she worked with Seniors’ Mental Health and for the last eight years she and her husband, Jack, have been caretakers at BC Elks Children’s Camp in Canoe.

For Sheila, her installation as Legion President means she will have to look to the future in order to remember the past.

“A lot of people laid down their lives so we can live the in freedom we live today and I respect that. The Legion was estab-lished to remember those who laid down their lives and I would like to make sure we keep it going.”

Everyone is invited to the installation that takes place on Sunday, January 24 at 1 p.m. at the Legion.

We need to understand who the boss is in this tenuous partnership that is the decorator and her subject. (In case you are wondering, that’s you and your house. Or room, or whatever.) The boss decides the colour scheme, has a whole lot to say about the style of the room and is, I fear, far too often ignored. The boss yells; sometimes very loudly. Almost anyone who doesn’t live with it can usually recognize the boss right away. But you, all close up and personal, think you can just ignore it. And you can, you know that. At your decorating peril.

The great big river rock fireplace in the corner of the family room. (I mean, what were they thinking when they had that thing built?) And the rocks are grey and green, and you HATE green.

Or the picture window that is four feet off centre on the wall. The outside of the house is balanced, the window in the living room is off because of the stairwell at the end of the house.

Or the orange wood floor. Or, for that matter, the orangey wood kitchen cabinets that himself has said you can paint, ‘over my dead body.’ A thought.

Or the gigantic sectional sofa in the family room which is not going anywhere. It had to be dismantled to get the thing in. It’s staying.

Or the quilt on the bed that is too precious to pack away but is in colours you loved ten years ago. And now you covet that off-white room, but there is that quilt. (Or the wood feature wall. It yells almost louder than the quilt.)

Or the oversized painting you did when you were in your maudlin purple phase, and which now feels like part of your being; to lose it would be like losing an arm.

You know that I’m a firm believer in decorat-

ing to suit you and your family. I urge you to break the rules and to do what you want. But I’ve also said that you should know how to work within the rules are before break them. You should be really clear about how to follow the rule before you break it.

It’s like baking a fancy schmancy cake from a very detailed recipe. You need to make it accord-ing to the recipe until you really understand how it works. Then you can start changing it. If you don’t do it this way chances are really good the cake will be a mess.

Decorating is the same way. I’ll find some examples of the ramifications of ignoring the boss and put them on the website Designsewlutions.ca.

Salmon Arm Silverbacks general manager Troy Mick announced recently that the team has traded forward Mitch Newsome to the Coquitlam Express for future considerations. The team also announced they have acquired forward Mitch Skapski from the Chilliwack Chiefs for future considerations.

“Mitch Newsome is a very good hockey player in the BCHL and this trade will help him get more ice time for the rest of this year” says GM Troy Mick. “We are really deep this year up front and Mitch will now get an opportunity to really show what he can do.”

In acquiring the 5’10 180 lbs forward Skapski the Backs will be getting a gritty hard nosed player who has WHL experience. “Mitch is a player who can put points up and is a leader on and off the ice and we wanted to address our grit factor up front going into the 2nd half and feel we have done so by this trade” says Mick

The Silverbacks would like to thank Mitch Newsome for his contributions to the team this year and wish him the best of luck in Coquitlam and welcome the newest Back Mitch Skapski to Salmon Arm.

Come see the newest player as the Silverbacks host the Vernon Vipers this Friday night at 7:00 p.m. and then the next night face the West Kelowna Warriors at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are avail-able now for what should be a great weekend of hockey in the Shuswap!

Letters to the EditorThe Feed Enderby & District Food Bank

board and volunteers want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many individuals, businesses and community groups that have been so generous since the new food bank formed two months ago.

Your donations of money and food enabled FED to carry through with November’s regular food hamper, distribute 127 Christmas hampers in December and provide more food hampers this month. Extra donations of gifts, pajamas and turkeys made the holiday hampers extra special.

FED’s primary goal is to help people in need by ensuring Enderby continues to have a regular food hamper program. As a grassroots initiative, FED also aims to foster positive relationships in the community and provide people with connec-tions to social and health services.

FED is overwhelmed by the community sup-port shown to date and we acknowledge that such support is crucial to our sustainability. As such, we look forward to strengthening our role

in the community and we encour-age the community’s contin-

ued support for this important service.

One day, when I was twenty three and in the Air Force, it occurred to me the reason for having a hobby. First though, my definition of what a hobby is. A hobby is any self-chosen activity that one does for enjoyment. Pure and simple. You do it because it’s fun for you.

When the hobby light bulb turned

on for me I had no idea what I would like, so I had to think about it for awhile. I am a fairly normal person so a fairly normal hobby, and an activity that wasn’t too hard or expensive. Furthermore, I wanted an avocation that I could do if I were able, or disabled, rich or poor, indoors and outdoors. I chose to become a

My hobbyferroequinologist (student of the iron horse). For the past 50 years I have studied modern rail freight technology. I also model in HO scale, specializing in North American diesel locomotives. This hobby allows for a very wide variety of research and activities. The diesel time frame commences in 1935 and, of course, continues today. No one liv-ing in Salmon Arm needs to be told about diesel locomotives and what they move around the land-scape. I understand that about 16,000 transport trucks pass through Salmon Arm every 24 hours. I’m sure that a large number of freight cars pass through also. Sorry, I digress. The railroading hobby offers history, photography, layout design, train operations, model building and modification (I’m currently working on a (CN Rail GP 40-2W [Canadian General Motors 3,000 horsepower locomotive]), geography, freight haulage and computer simulations (I have ‘driven’ trains digi-tally all the way from Cochrane, Alberta to Kamloops). When I get to where I’d like a change, I just move to something else.

I really enjoy doing research and, as with most human endeavours, there are a lot of fun things to discover. In the Union Pacific Portland, Oregon rail yard, I once won an argument with a locomo-tive engineer about the SD 40-2 he was getting ready to drive east out of town. When other rail workers started laughing, he got angry, told me I was trespassing on UP property and to “get the hell off.”

Three times I was offered jobs on railroads. I said no because trains are my play world and I didn’t want them to become my work world. Driving ships was where I worked. I hope trains keep me interested right to the end.

It does not matter what one chooses as a hobby. Just look around, choose and get at it. I think of hobbies as brain food–what you want, when you want. It’s that simple.

Gerry Lavallee, Enderby

A new era of opti-mism for science in Canada is emerging. Within days of coming into power, the federal Liberal government lift-ed a veil of secrecy by giving government sci-entists a green light to speak directly to the media and the public.

This change invites the question: will we see science play an increasing role in gov-ernment decision-mak-ing in the near future?

Dr. Katie Gibbs, co-founder and Executive Director of Evidence for Democracy, will address this notion in a public talk titled “Evidence for Democracy: is science on the rise?” on Tuesday, Jan. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at Okanagan College’s Vernon cam-pus lecture theatre.

Canadian govern-ment scientists play a key role in safeguarding the country’s environ-ment, air, water, and food. They are also extensively involved in the review and regula-tion of industrial and consumer products such as pesticides and medicine. Scientists’

ability to communicate freely about their work and concerns to both the media and public is paramount to ensure transparency in govern-ment decision-making that is supported by evi-dence-based science.

Gibbs argues that government actions in recent years have weak-ened the country’s foundation for informed decision-making. These changes have happened in three distinct ways: a reduction in the ability of government scien-tists to communicate their research to the public, the erosion of fundamental research and environmental monitoring among other science initiatives, and a reduction in the role scientific evidence plays in policy deci-sions.

“The impacts of these changes go far beyond science,” asserts Gibbs. “Science and evidence are essential elements of a functioning democ-racy, which requires informed citizens and transparent deci-sion-making.”

She adds that the recent changes invoked by the Liberals are

promising but there is still much work to be done. This includes the need to enshrine the right of scientists to open communication in formal policies and the rebuilding of Canada’s research capacity through publicly fund-ed science.

Gibbs is a scientist, organizer and advocate for science and evi-dence-based policies. While completing her PhD at the University of Ottawa, she was a lead organizer of the “Death of Evidence” rally, one of the largest science rallies in Canadian history. An avid spokesperson on science policy issues, organizations and national media outlets alike frequently seek her expertise commen-tary.

Admission to the lec-ture is $7 in advance or $10 at the door. For advanced tickets call the Okanagan Science Centre at (250) 545-3644. To subscribe or get info visit okanagan-sisss.wordpress.com.

Clarence and Irene Wiseman of Salmon Arm took a 31-day cruise around South America in December/January, beginning in Los Angeles and ending in Rio De Janiero.

Here they are pictured at the entrance to Tierra Del Fuego National Park, which, when translat-ed from Spanish, is The Land of Fire National Park, in the Republic of Argentina. Lapataia Bay in the park is the last stop on the Pan American Highway, which starts in Alaska and stretches 12,000 miles across two continents. This point is known as Fin del Mundo (end of the world).

Clarence and Irene Wiseman receive $10 for having their picture printed, and are entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2016.

Encouraging early literacy in children has always been a mandate of the library system, and all ORL locations regularly host free sto-rytimes for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. Especially in the digital age, the live interaction of sto-rytime holds many benefits for both youngsters and their parents including stim-ulating interest in c o m m u n i c a t i o n , movement to sound and socialization.

So older children aren’t left out of the fun, many ORL branches have initiat-ed popular Lego Clubs, using the build-ing blocks to encour-age creativity and expression in children aged 5 – 12 years. Locally, the Salmon Arm branch hosts a regular Lego club. The next session is on Thursday, Feb. 18, 3:30–4:30 p.m. Registration starts Feb. 4.

To find out about storytimes and Lego clubs in your area, visit or call your local library or check their webpage at www.orl.bc.ca/branches.

Writer/director Tom McCarthy tackles the riveting true story of the Boston Globe’s investigation into the allegations of child abuse and cover-up in the Catholic Church. The reporters’ year-long investigation delves deep into one of the most trusted institutions in the world and reveals the secrecy shared for decades among the highest levels of Boston’s religious, legal, and government establish-ments. Rocking the city to its core and uncov-ering one of the largest crime scandals in modern history, this film traces the “Spotlight” team’s steps that led to Pullitzer Prize-winning investigative work and sparked a wave of rev-elation across the globe.

Spotlight stars Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber, Stanley Tucci, and Brian D’Arcy. It shows at 7:30 p.m. at the Salmar Classic Theatre from Friday, Jan. 15th to Thursday, January 21st. The Shuswap Film Society will be your hosts on Friday and Saturday night with door prizes awarded to the audience.

For the many of us outdoor folk, there are probably two TV channels we enjoy on a cool winter evening, while tying some flies or enjoying a hot toddy or coffee. One being the Wild Channel; the other being Discovery, with Gold Rush, Bering Sea Gold, Frontier Alaska, etc. Seems every week, a new outdoor real-ity show pops up, the latest being “Top Hooker,” where two groups of contes-tants (all are top/pro anglers) compete to catch as many fish in various ways. Sounds like they have rainbow trout-stocked lakes in California too! They should compete here, doing some ice fishing–they’d freeze their buns off!

With ol’ Man Winter now truly upon us, local lakes are freezing, water tem-peratures are dropping, and for those that like ice angling, it’s just about time. With climate change, some lower lakes (like White Lake) freeze up later, while upper lakes seem to have firmer ice conditions. To be on the safe side, you need four inches of clear blue ice, before venturing out to drill a few holes, and set up for a day of fishing.

There are several factors one should consider when going out onto the ice, such as depth and type of ice. Slushy with water is not a good sign. Stay away from docks, logs, and large rocks, as they absorb heat from the sun.

Many of us know local lakes inti-mately, and the best spots to fish. So we know that tray pack shrimp, worms, and small jigs will catch trout. But for those just starting to ice fish, check with your local tackle shop, for hints, best lures, and bait to use; along with where to go.

Safety: Every season, many hard water anglers slip and fall, resulting in serious injuries. A good bet is a pair of ice crampons or cleats that fit over snowpac boots. These can be purchased at the sport shop or hardware store.

Gear: A 5-gallon plastic pail works well for ice fishing, because you can put most articles like lures, bait, lunch, ther-mos, light spinning rigs, mitts, etc inside. On top, make a plywood cover, with a padded seat to sit on. Put in a large hole on one side for rods to stick out. You can purchase a rod holder kit to

fit on the top edge to hold the rod while angling.

Fishfinders: Many newer finders will work with a bit of modification. Cut two holes: one for the transducer to to fit through down to the bottom of the water column, with the finder sitting on a small plywood or wood frame base.

Ice huts: To reduce the effects of wind and snow, many of us older anglers have purchased a fold out/pop-up ice hut. There are a few on the market that are lightweight and fit into a plastic sled pulled out onto the ice. I have an “Eskimo” brand two-man version in red that works great.

Warmth: Gone are the days of using

diesel fuel and sawdust in the 5 gallon metal bucket to stay warm. Small porta-ble propane heaters are the ticket. On the large lakes such as Bridge/Deka(for kokanee, laker trout), anglers sled out 20 pound tanks of propane, with infa-red heaters atop. Here, the Mr. Heater or other small units will do the job. If using in an ice hut, proper ventilation is a must, and very important.

General: Trout feel changes in the thermalcline in the water column in winter, as the water therein cools. Their metabolism slows, and as the aquatic insects move to the marl and weed beds,

the trout are still feeding selectively, so finding points of land that the trout move around, even weed beds, will increase your chances of success. Going online for bathymetric map charts, which show shoals and depth on differ-ent lakes, is very helpful for success.

Any way ya cut it, being out on a fro-zen lake can be great fun, providing you’re warm and comfortable. With a bit of patience and the proper gear and bait, you may just come home with a good feed of fish for the family. It’s fun for the family too. So get out and enjoy!

Here and there in the ShuswapTaking along a thermos of hot

chocolate, tea, or coffee, helps to take the chill off when the trout ain’t bitin’! Linda Gabris does a “Rough Cookin’” col-umn for BC Outdoors magazine each issue. She had a couple great hotdrink recipes for read-ers, here’s one:

Measure 6 cups apple cider (or apple juice) into a saucepan. Add 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey. In a small cheesecloth, put in 1 broken cinnamon stick, 5 whole cloves, 3 allspice ber-ries, and grated peel of 1 lemon. Tie off. Drop into cider. Simmer for 5 minutes. Discard spice bag before pouring into a thermos. Also from Linda: The vacuum

bottle was invented in 1892 by Scottish scientist Sir James Dewar.

It was then known as the Dewar flask. The name thermos is derived from the Greek word “therme,” meaning heat. Thermos became a registered name back in 1904 when first manufactured in Germany. The secret in keeping drinks hot is to fill the thermos with boiling water before refilling it. Another trick is to use a narrow-necked thermos for hot drinks, keeping steam in, and filling the thermos with boiling tea, cof-fee, hot chocolate, etc when filling.

Tight lines, and be safe on any frozen lake you venture onto!

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. CW161210

CAPRICORN Capricorn, it may be frightening to reveal your true feelings about something, especially when the truth might change your life in a dramatic way. Muster your courage.

AQUARIUSOthers appreciate all that you do for them, Aquarius. But sometimes they have to do for themselves to learn valuable lessons. This week is a time to step aside.

PISCESPisces, while you are busy helping other people, you may discover that it’s time to take a step back and tend to your own needs.

ARIES Aries, nding time to get everything done can be challenging. Fortunately, you have quite a few friends willing to spare some time and lend you a helping hand.

TAURUSDif cult decisions can take time to work through, Taurus. Although you want to address all situations, this week isn’t a good one for making big decisions.

GEMINI Gemini, something keeps nagging at you and you can’t get it out of your head. Trust your intuition and be on guard. With some careful thought, a solution will present itself.

CANCERA hectic schedule may have you feeling some pressure, Cancer. Keep in mind that all of your deadlines are self-imposed, so just factor a little more time into your week.

LEO Leo, sometimes you have to make a few mistakes before you get things right. Don’t let this worry you, as trial and error is all a part of the learning process.

VIRGO Virgo, you may suspect what’s around the corner, but you are not ready to take the plunge just yet. Give it a little more time until you feel ready and secure.

LIBRA Work with your doctor to develop a plan for meeting some healthy resolutions, Libra. It is important to make your health a priority this week.

SCORPIOScorpio, it may prove impossible to escape all of your responsibilities right now, but you can let a few slide for the time being. Tackle the most daunting projects rst.

SAGITTARIUS You cannot avoid a complex issue forever, Sagittarius. Come clean with the person you may have been hiding from, and work with this person to reach a resolution.
