interactions, and shar-ing space with adults.” To this end, the society runs a youth centre with structured pro-grams, as well as oper-ates the building as a multi-use community facility. In addition to the former Salmon Arm Elementary School building, also known as DAC, locat-ed at 451 Shuswap St. SW, the Association maintains and operates the North Canoe Hall.

Open about 12 years now, DAC is the gath-ering place for many local groups besides Toastmasters, which meets weekly in the boardroom. Youth groups include Shuswap Kids’ Club, Strong Start, and the Loft. Sports groups such as badminton, minor hockey and ball hockey use the gymna-sium, as do the Shuswap Pipe Band, Shuswap Daycare and Shuswap Kennel Club. The library is the meeting location for the Salmon Arm Duplicate Bridge Club and Zumba. A unique tenant is the communi-ty radio station, Voice of the Shuswap CKVS-FM93.7, which broadcasts from the third floor.

Besides regular weekly meetings, DAC facilities can be rented on a one time or occasional basis, such as for birthday, holi-day or anniversary parties, as long as alcohol is not served, seeing it is a youth oriented building. For a gathering serving alcohol, the North

Canoe Hall can be rented. Money raised from all these book-ings goes to support youth programs and the everyday running

of the facilities.I think we are fortu-

nate to have such a place in the Shuswap, where so many differ-ent individuals and groups comprised of all ages and interests can meet to learn, play and socialize. Keep these facilities in mind when you want to book a place to meet. You will be greatly helping our local youth and community as well!

Since September, I have been going to the SASCU Downtown Activity Centre (right, top) to attend Salmon Arm Toastmasters’ Club weekly meetings. Looking at the sched-uled activity board outside the main office door, I became aware that this building serves a considerable number of organiza-tions and people in the community. I wanted to learn more about the Downtown Activity Centre and the Association that oper-ates it, so I dropped by to see Sandi Cadeau (right, centre), the Centre’s friendly and knowledgeable office admin and facilities host, to obtain more information.

DAC is operated by the Aspiral Youth Partners Association, a not-for-profit group with its primary focus on assisting the youth of the Shuswap to be, as its mission state-ment says, “positively connected within the community through active living, social

Based on true events, Foxcatcher shares the story of when Olympic Gold Medal win-ning wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) was summoned by eccentric heir John du Pont (Steve Carrell) to his family estate to train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Wishing to become the best in the world and finally step out of the shadow of his revered brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo), Mark seizes John’s generous offer and finds in him not only a coach, but a father figure. But through du Pont’s own insecure needs for worldwide glory and the respect

of his disapproving mother (Vanessa Redgrave), the pair’s unsteady relationship soon turns from a dependent friendship to cruel manipulation and paranoia; all boiling down to a tragedy no one could have predicted.

Foxcatcher shows at 7:30 p.m. from January 9th to the 15th at the Salmar Classic Theatre. The Shuswap Film Society are your hosts on Friday and Saturday night with door prizes awarded to the audience; plus, this is a joint presentation with the Salmar Theatre so you may use your free movie passes if you choose.

Friday, January 9, 2015 Lakeshore News A3 www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

January is a great month for making a fresh start and making that resolution to try something new. How about taking a college course, or join-ing Toastmasters or doing something as simple as taking more time to visit with friends and family? A few local business owners and volun-teers offered some tips on making 2015 a rewarding year....

Focus on short-term fitness goals“Often it’s the time of year that we think about

goal setting,” says Heather Stanton of ProActive Fitness. “I think the idea of New Year’s resolu-tions has sensibly died because for the most part we know they don’t usually work, we break them before we get started; often set-ting ourselves up for failure.”

The key, she explains, is to focus on very short term goals.

“While long term goals are good, they are often too big, too far away or too o v e r w h e l m i n g ; where if we focus on what we need to do today, we can focus on a small chunk that is action-oriented – going for a walk, hav-ing a salad with dinner, or drinking an extra glass of water. We will get the results we want when we are consistent with the little things we have done therefore creating new habits.”

The most important component is creating healthier habits and breaking bad ones. It’s a matter of simple planning.

“Cue—Routine—Reward,” she says, giving the example of putting your shoes and exercise outfit ready for your walk, “and then reward with a guilt-free hour of watching your favourite show.”

“The next step in the habit circuit is sticking to it long enough to create cravings, so that you actually crave the endorphins, feel good feeling and sense of accomplishment from regular exer-cise.”

Heather says it’s important that a person is realistic in their goal-setting. “Remember, little successes can build slowly to larger goals and successes. It’s never late to start to make improvements to improving your health, fitness and energy, it make be starting with 10 minutes of stretching to reduce stiffness and pain or start-ing a training schedule to tackle your first Spartan race! Regardless of where you’re start-ing from, use this New Year’s time to re-focus, re-energize and focus on creating or re-fining your habits and goals for 2015.”

Exercise your mindBut New Year’s resolutions aren’t always

about physical fitness. Some people use the beginning of the year as a marker to improve their minds.

“Over the six years, customers have told us they have gone back to reading,” says Beth Phillips of Hidden Gems Books. “They say they are finding pleasure in reading again and that it helps them de-stress from what is happening around them.”

Some people want to get away from the TV, she says, but conversely the TV and theatre have brought more people into the bookstore.

“Movies, especially books-to-movies, have prompted a huge return to reading from young to old. The popular books right now are the ones that have been made into movies, especially fan-tasy for the youth; historical fiction for men and women as well as action/thriller fiction, and non-fiction, stories of people’s lives, especially if the stories are funny.”

It’s not so much the New Year that marks an influx of readers but a life stage.

“Baby boomers are grandparents now, and this stage of their life is brining them back to read-ing, says Beth. “They remember the books from their childhood and they are buying and reading those books they want to pass it on to their chil-dren and grandchildren.”

Hit the airwavesWhat about going

a little outside your comfort zone and trying something totally different for 2015 like being a radio talk show host?

“Anyone can have a show, they just need to take our Radio Skills train-ing first” says Jeanette Clement, Office Coordinator for Voice of the

Shuswap. “Apart from music pro-grams, we’d love to have a sports reporter, a news broadcaster, and someone to review films. Or one could do a show about their favourite hobby – the ideas are wide open, and it’s fun. You can do a show on a weekly or monthly basis, live or prerecorded.”

Voice of the Shuswap community radio also needs volunteers in other capacities who can work the technical side of things.

If you’re up for this challenge, you have a couple of days to make up your mind as their next training session goes from January 15-17. For more info call 250-463-5026 or email [email protected].

Volunteer outdoors - Join SVSAROr if you’re looking for something totally dif-

ferent why not join Shuswap Volunteer Search and Rescue (SVSAR)? Jennifer Black, a long-time Ground Search volunteer, says there’s a few reasons why someone might want to join SVSAR.

“I would encourage anyone who loves the outdoors, wants to learn new skills and who wants to help our community to join our team.”

People get a lot of satisfaction from helping in this capacity, she says. It’s about serving the community in a unique way while gaining a lot personally.

“I joined because I wanted to challenge myself by doing something outside of my regular day job at SASCU. I love the outdoors and like being active. SAR has really helped build upon my outdoor skills and has given me confidence to do things I would not of done previously. It is great being part of a team of caring, ‘like-minded’ individuals.”

The next training session starts in the spring. Anyone anyone age 19 or older can join. The first step is taking BC government-certified training in Ground Search and Rescue. This con-sists of a challenging series of both in classroom and out in the field sessions. Members must also obtain their Occupational First Aid Level 1. After these basics, members may take additional training in specialized areas such as; flat water, swift water, ice rescue, rope rescue, and ava-lanche safety.

Training for new member occurs in the spring of each year. For more information contact, Susan Mah at [email protected] or phone 250-804-7918.

Bad posture – part 2

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Last week I wrote about the significant detri-mental effects poor posture has on spinal health as well as reducing general health and wellness. For any readers who missed last week’s article, I explained when the head shifts forward and the normal curve in the neck is lost, significant stress and pressure in placed on the spinal discs and joints which accelerates the degenerative process. A loss of the normal curve also inter-feres with and damages the spinal cord and nerve roots. Considering the nervous system is the most important part of your body that gives life and controls function of every cell, organ and tissue, stress and pressure on this system is something we want to avoid at all cost!

So, this week, I would like to explain how postural problems can be reversed and even cor-rected through chiropractic care. When I show a patient their digital x-rays and a loss of cervical curve is discovered, I make a plan with them to begin correcting these misalignments. Spinal adjustments are the first recommendation because they work well in restoring reduced mobility in the spine and are effective at elimi-nating subluxation (nervous system interfer-ence). Improved spinal mobility leads to better range of motion of the neck and head, as well as increased disc hydration which greatly slows the degenerative process. Finally, improved move-ment in a degenerated disc is essential to open up the space for the nerve roots and spinal cord. This, in turn, helps to reduce nerve damage and improve nervous system function.

Once a series of adjustments are completed and spinal range of motion is improved, the next step is to begin restoring the natural neck curve. For spinal molding we utilize a device called a “Denneroll.” This is a specially-shaped foam device which gently and comfortably restores the normal neck curve. A chiropractor trained in the use of these devices determines the correct size of Denneroll for the individual, then pre-scribes exercises and provides a corrective plan. If people are diligent with using their Denneroll as part of their home-care/structural exercise regime, they will begin seeing improvements in their spinal curves as well as experiencing improved function in their spine and nervous system.

For anyone wanting more information on these devices, go to denneroll.com where there is loads of research on how they help. If you have a lifestyle that is not conducive to good posture, or if past traumas have caused you to lose your spinal curves (e.g. car accidents, whiplash, bike crashes, skiing crashes, football, sports injuries, etc) you should have spinal x-rays by a chiro-practor that is trained in spinal correction.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiro-practor with a special focus on postural correc-tion and can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

Resolutions are made and broken in January. One of the most com-mon is to save and earn more money. Making this resolution stick is possible with even small actions.

“A key is to take steps, even small steps, that are comfortable for you,” says Prasad Savanagouder, Financial Services Manager at SASCU Credit Union’s Salmon Arm Downtown Branch. “People tend to put off getting started, think-ing they need a bucket of money before they can start investing. Not so.

“The main thing is not the size of your investment. The main thing is to just get started.”

SASCU Credit Union encourages Payday Investing, automatic trans-fers each payday to a Savings Account or Term Deposit. Members can even choose to use the transfers to build up their RRSPs or TFSAs.

“You likely won’t miss a few dol-lars coming automatically off your pay cheque,” notes Prasad. “But you will love the results in the long run.”

SASCU Financial Group offers a full range of banking, insurance, and investment services, and has been part of the Shuswap communi-ty for almost 70 years. www.sascu.com

The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) and many community organizations are invit-ing families to participate in Unplug & Play Family Literacy Week from January 24th to 31st, 2015.

Children use an average of 7.5 hours of entertainment technology per day. In order to encourage stu-dents and families to reduce their amount of screen-time (TV, video games, texting, computers, etc.) Unplug & Play Passports have been printed for every elementary school student in the district. On each passport, there is a daily checklist to record screen-free activities and

a schedule of events for families throughout the North Okanagan-Shuswap. All events are free and some of the planned activities include: skating and buddy reading with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks and Sicamous Eagles, family game nights, Early Years Fairs, magic shows, family skating, special library storytimes, family yoga night, sliding party, family art after-noon, Jam the GM Children’s Book Drive, free family swim, indoor soccer, curling, and much more! For more information, please go to www.shuswapliteracy.ca.

DID YOU ENJOY ALL THE GIFT-GIVINGOR ARE YOU READY FOR A CHANGE?

Scale back on expensive gifts and focus more on spending time with family and friends, said an article in the Vancouver Province website. It said many seniors want or need to reduce holiday spending for young off-spring but do not know how, and are afraid of feeling guilty.

Now is the time to announce a change in gift-giving next year, so there won’t be hurt feelings or surprises later on. The article states that great holiday memories come from the time we spend with those we love, not from a gift wrapped in fancy paper. Adults in the family may welcome a reduction in gift-giving, because it may reduce their credit card debts in January.

I SPENT FOUR DAYS WITH THOSE I LOVEMany years ago we stopped exchanging gifts in our

family, except I give an annual collector’s item to the young ones. I was surprised to receive two gifts from my sons who are aged 50 and 51. One gave a WestJet flight to Victoria on Dec. 28 to spend four days with his family, and the other gave us flights in a Cessna plane over the city. Our pilot was Brendan O’Hare, flight instructor for the Victoria Flying Club. There was no fancy gift wrap-ping, and the memories will last a lifetime. Thanks, boys!

TV SCREEN WAS THE LENGTH OF MY CARFOR WATCHING WORLD JR. HOCKEY GAME

The huge TV at my son’s is so big, it looked like the length of my SmartCar. Watching the annual New Year’s Eve Canada vs United States World Junior Hockey Championship game from the chesterfield was almost the same as watching a game from the seat at Shaw Centre. Canada beat the Americans again. It was so exciting, I had palpitations during play.

The final game was between Canada and Russia in Toronto on Mon., Jan. 5. Canada won the world junior hockey championship with 5-4 victory over Russia. We won gold!

SALMON ARM-BORN CURTIS LAZAR WAS CAPTAINThe players in the world junior hockey game were

young, the same as Silverbacks. The captain was Curtis Lazar who the announcer said was from Salmon Arm. Wikipedia says he was born in Salmon Arm and raised in Vernon. His proud parents, Dave and Karen Lazar and children, were in Toronto and Montreal for the games, and were shown on TV several times. Curtis has a three-year contract with the Ottawa Senators of the NHL.

SILVERBACKS WON TWICE ON THE WEEKENDThe holiday break must have energized our Junior A

hockey players because the Silverbacks beat West Kelowna 7-1 on Friday and Penticton 3-0 on Saturday. Penticton is the top team in BCHL’s Interior Division. We in the stands cheered heartily!

UKRAINIAN CHRISTMAS CAROL SINGINGCome and sing Ukrainian Christmas Carols in the

Anglican church hall tomorrow, Saturday, Jan. 10 at 11 a.m. Use the entrance at 170 Shuswap St., half a block from the Husky station. We’ll have some kutia, the tradi-tional Christmas dish.

SNOW CHALLENGES SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTIt was a historic day in the North Okanagan Shuswap

school district, wrote Superintendent of Schools Glenn Borthistle in a press release Mon., Jan. 5 at 1:20 p.m. For the first time in many years, a decision was made to close schools because there was up to 50 cm. of snow. At 6 a.m. all roads were open and school buses could operate safely. At 6 a.m. Vernon and Kamloops schools were kept open for the day, and our schools would be open too.

Glenn wrote: “However, once principals began arriv-ing at schools, they reported to me that parking lots were not clear at a number of schools and staff were calling in to say they were having difficulty making it to work. We made the call at 7:42 a.m. to close schools.” Kamloops and Vernon did the same. Communication went out and very few students showed up at schools.

On Monday evening it was decided to close schools again on Tuesday because of the continued winter storm warning from Environment Canada and a forecast of freezing rain in the morning.

In this election year, I urge all adult citizens to resolve to VOTE. It is not just a matter of turning up on election day but of doing the research needed to make the decision. It is several years since the last election and it is easy to for-get the details of what has been happening in our country.

The majority of Canadians are relatively fortunate. Some Canadians have greater challenges and need more help than they are getting. In the lead-up to the election there are many questions that need answers. Some examples are: What more must be done to help those with mental illness?

What plan is there to reduce the unacceptably high rate of children living in poverty? What more needs to be done to properly address the issue of homelessness? On the politi-cal party websites one can usually find information on policy decisions that have been made and information on how to contact the candidate to ask questions. All this is better done before the election is called. After that point we get the advertising campaigns that are long on hype and short on facts.

“I am the Grinch. Yep, that one family member that stole Christmas and ruined it for one and all... or at least that is how some of my family would like to make me out to be. But it’s been four years since I made the shocking announcement that I would not be leaving my home on Christmas Day and I refuse to feel guilty about it any-more.”

CATS CAN BECOME SICK FROM DRINKING WATERA Kelowna veterinarian states that cats are 100% car-

nivores. Flesh eaters, not dry food eaters. Dr. Moira Drosdovech sold her 20-year-old practise and now focus-es on primarily holistic health care. She wrote in an e-magazine that feeding grain in dry food to cats can lead to some potentially serious health problems, such as obe-sity. Because cats do not like drinking water, they may have chronic vomiting, and dehydration may cause kid-ney failure which is extremely common in senior cats and accounts for many deaths.

YOUR DOG’S COLLAR MAY BE TOO TIGHTBR from Blind Bay writes: I love dogs. Whenever on

our travels we meet someone with a dog, I always pat the dog and give it a scratch behind the ears by the collar. Nine times out ten the collar is really tight, so tight I wonder how it swallows its food. I wish dog owners would check their dog’s collar and loosen it if necessary.WOMAN’S WILL REQUESTS HER DOG BE EUTHANIZED,

CREMATED & ASHES MIXED WITH HERSAn elderly woman in Indiana died in late November

and left behind Bella, her beloved German Shepherd. In her will she left several options for Bella, and wanted her very close friend to take charge of the dog. There may not be enough money in the estate to pay for the dog’s care until she dies, so the option of euthanization may be used. The dog’s ashes were to be mixed with the woman’s, and they would be laid to rest together.

The Washington Post website states a Twitter campaign has begun to protest the proposal, and a radio station reported that some people have asked if they can take the dog in to save it.

DID YOU STOP USING THE KEURIG COFFEE SYSTEM?There was a recall of some Keurig single-cup coffee

systems that use K-cup coffee pods. In December 2014, Keurig said its Mini Plus Brewing Systems can overheat and spray water during brewing. The model number is K10, previously identified as model number B31. They were sold online and in stores in the U.S. and Canada between 2009 and 2014. Consumers should contact Keurig to obtain a free repair kit: 1-844-255-7886 week-days.

Before Christmas I was being mocked by friends and family for buying a heavy duty snow blower when it was looking pret-ty green outside. Well, payback is sweet! My new snow blower has been a back saver this past week.

The crazy thing about all this snow was Monday morning we still had some dedicated puzzlers risk life and limb to line up at the door with their Mall Arkey Christmas contests hoping to claim our gener-ous $50 prize.

Clara (5-time champ) and Mel (annual participant) were at the office with contests in hand, but were both just a couple correct answers short. Instead, we want to congratulate Julie Hagel for getting all 25 correct and more importantly being crowned this year’s Mall Arkey Contest Champion. I’m sure some of the credit can go to her husband Chad too!Here are this year’s answers:1. 54 = SOARC (Squares on a Rubik’s Cube)2. 24 = HIAD (Hours in a day)3. 13 = SOTAF (Stripes on the American Flag)4. 3 = WOAT (Wheels on a tricy-cle)5. 8 = TOAO (Tentacles on an octopus)6. 13 = LIABD (Loaves in a bak-er’s dozen)7. 5 = TOAF (Toes on a foot)8. 10 = PIC (Provinces in Canada)9. 7 = PHTIC (Professional hock-ey teams in Canada)10. 366 = DIALY (Days in a leap year)

11. 15 = MOADMC (Men on a dead man’s chest)12. 90 = DIARA (Degrees in a right angle)13. 6 = POTSOD (Points on the Star of David)14. 22 = OWGISR (Olympic Winter Games in Sochi Russia)15. 206 = BITHB (Bones in the human body)16. 7 = BFSB (Brides for Seven Brothers)17. 2 = SUPFAE (Strokes under par for an eagle)18. 26 = MIAM (Miles in a mara-thon)19. 8 = ANOO (Atomic number of Oxygen)20. 4 = MWTD (Months with thir-ty days)21. 3 = VOAT (Valves on a trum-pet)22. 5 = SOAP (Sides on a penta-gon)23. 6 = POAPT (Pockets on a pool table)24. 12 = HOTBS (Hurricane on the Beaufort Scale)25. 4 = PCOMR (Presidents carved on Mount Rushmore)I am already starting to come up with my red herrings for next year, so watch out!

KELOWNA– Owners of more than 72,000 properties throughout North Okanagan can expect to receive their 2015 assessment notices in the next few days.

“Most homes in North Okanagan are worth more in value compared to last year’s assessment roll,” said Jason Sowinski, Deputy Assessor. “Most home owners in the North Okanagan will see modest changes in the -5% to +10% range.”

Overall, the North Okanagan’s Assessment Roll increased from $26,221,360,408 last year to $27,173,940,965 this year. Of note, a total of almost $393,000,000 was added through subdivi-sions, rezoning and new construction.

The examples below demonstrate local market trends for residential properties by a geographic area; trends are affected by many variables.

Armstrong went from $291,000 to $302,000; Enderby went from $245,000 to $237,000; Revelstoke went from $310,000 to $313,000; Vernon went from $371,000 to $396,000; Vernon strata went from $176,000 to $178,000; Coldstream went from $488,000 to $516,000; Salmon Arm went from $317,000 to $326,000; Spallumcheen went from $331,000 to $332,000; Sicamous went from $306,000 to $311,000; and Lumby went from $255,000 to $250,000.

In addition, owners of commercial and industri-al properties in the North Okanagan will see changes ranging from 0% to +5%.

“Property owners who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2014 or see incorrect information on their notice should contact BC Assessment as indicated on their notice as soon as possible in January,” said Sowinski.

“If a property owner is still concerned about their assessment after speaking to one of our appraisers, they may submit a Notice of Complaint (Appeal) by February 2, for an independent review by a Property Assessment Review Panel,” added Sowinski.

The Property Assessment Review Panels, inde-pendent of BC Assessment, are appointed annual-ly by the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, and typically meet between February 1 and March 15 to hear formal complaints.

The Okanagan Region assessment office is located at 300-1631 Dickson Avenue in Kelowna. During the month of January, office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. Property owners can contact BC Assessment toll-free at 1-866-valueBC (1-866-825-8322) or online by clicking “CONNECT” at www.bcas-

sessment.ca. Visit www.bcassessment.ca for more informa-

tion about the 2015 Assessment Roll including lists of 2015’s top 100 most valuable residential properties across the province.

Of note, BC Assessment has launched a new-ly-enhanced version of its free e-valueBC service that allows the general public to search, check and compare properties online from across the province. Improved navigation, an interactive map and inclusion of property street-front imag-ery are among the new features. Also new for 2015, BC Assessment has updated its Customer Service Standards which include commitments to be open & transparent, fair & accurate, timely & accessible, knowledgeable & respectful, and innovative & collaborative.

“Our service commitments and standards clear-ly indicate the level of service that you can expect from BC Assessment and ensure we focus on customer needs as we continue to deliver excel-lent service,” said Sowinski, Deputy Assessor.

CAPRICORN Capricorn, you will forge a new relationship this week, and it may lead to a solid friendship that lasts a number of years. Feelings are bound to get more intense..

AQUARIUSThis is a great week for brainstorming, Aquarius. Once you have a few solid ideas, put your plans into motion. At least one should pan out quite well.

PISCES Someone is trying to steer you in one direction, Pisces. Politely decline if that direction is the opposite of what you want to do.

ARIES Unexpected news excites you, Aries. Even though you’re not yet sure if the news is good or bad, you have high hopes that positive information is on the way.

TAURUSTaurus, you have an abundance of energy and you have to find a way to harness it for the greater good. Find a new hobby or volunteer for a local project.

GEMINI Now is not a good time to make significant financial decisions, Gemini. You have to make changes when the time is right, and you will know when that day arrives.

CANCERCancer, your mood is uplifting to those around you. Maintain this optimistic outlook in the weeks ahead, and good fortune is bound to come your way.

LEOLeo, don’t be afraid to accept a helping hand at work. Seek help from others if no offers are immediately forthcoming. Explore all of your networking possibilities.

VIRGO Keep an extra-sharp mind this week, Virgo, as there isn’t anything you cannot accomplish if you put your mind to it. Try tackling those big projects that you have been avoiding.

LIBRALibra, a problem with no obvious solution has you seeing both sides of the argument. Dwell on things for a little while longer, and the solution will eventually come to you.

SCORPIO Scorpio, you are planning some big moves and you are bound to have a number of supporters behind you. Others want you to succeed so take an opportunity and run with it.

SAGITTARIUS Take extra care with projects at work, Sagittarius. A difficult problem may arise, and a careful approach to the tasks at hand can help you nip that problem in the bud.

Okanagan College’s popular “Classics at the Classic” returns next week for its fifth season after a two-year hiatus, and with a contempo-rary twist. In previous years, the series has largely showcased estab-lished classics and foreign-language films, but this season the series focuses on the works of three of the most exciting and distinctive direc-tors working today: Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Terrence Malick. The non-profit pro-gram is sponsored by Okanagan College and supported by the Salmar Association, and runs in conjunc-tion with a 2nd year Film Criticism and Theory course taught by OC English Professor Tim Walters, who introduces each of the films.

“My hope with this year’s selec-tions is that rather than looking to the past, I have selected movies made by the most original and com-pelling filmmakers working at the very peaks of their powers today,” says Dr. Walters. “I was also keen to focus on directors whose films are immediately identifiable—that have highly distinctive styles and person-alities—so we can watch them develop over the course of several films. Plus, these are all films that I love, and that I think will be tremen-dously exciting for my students and

for the general public.” The “Contemporary Classics at

the Classic” screenings are open to the public ($5 admission) on Monday nights at the Salmar Classic theatre throughout the winter, beginning on Monday January 12th at 5:00 p.m. with Wes Anderson’s 1998 cult clas-sic Rushmore.

The full schedule is:Monday, Jan. 12,

5:00 p.m.: Rushmore (Wes Anderson)

Monday, Jan. 19, 5:00 p.m.: Badlands (Terrence Malick)

Monday, Feb. 2, 7:30 p.m.: Boogie Nights (Paul Thomas Anderson)

Monday, Feb. 16, 5:00 p.m.: The Royal Tenenbaums (Wes Anderson)

Monday, Mar. 2, 7:30 p.m.: The Thin Red Line (Terrence Malick)

Monday, Mar. 9, 7:30 p.m.: Magnolia (Paul Thomas Anderson)

Monday, Mar. 16, 5:00 p.m.: The Fantastic Mr. Fox (Wes Anderson), 7:30pm: The Life Aquatic, with Steve Zissou (Wes Anderson)

Monday, Mar. 23, 5:00 p.m.: There Will be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson)

Monday, Mar. 30, 7:30 p.m.: Tree of Life (Terrence Malick)

For further information, email Tim Walters at [email protected])

MeditationsSour Grapes

Eze 18:1 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,Eze 18:2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb

concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are on edge?

Sound familiar? Have you ever caught yourself saying "well my dad had a fierce temper so what do you expect, I inherited this problem so you might as well quit trying to change me!" Or maybe your mom was a slob, a drunkard…you fill in the blanks. The reasons we as humans give for our problems are endless and most of the time we say we inherited them!! So what results can we expect from this line of thinking. We find our children quickly pick up our flaws and often reproduce them in our lives, of course they speedily conclude that it’s all mom or dad’s fault.

Are you satisfied to be a victim of this sort of reasoning? If you read further in Ezekial 18 (esp. v.20-24, "The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son:") you will discover that God holds us personally responsible for our actions. When you stand before God at the end of time there will be no shrugging of the problem off of our shoulders and onto mom and dad. Amazing yet wonderful! No one, absolutely no one needs to remain a helpless victim of inherited problems like temper, etc. God has not written you off because of your parents but rather extends His hand of mercy to you personally whoever you are. John 6:37b "and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."

— Rick Bauman


It was October of 1971, when 30 tons of TNT was hauled the 36 miles back into Greenbush Lake by navy personnel. (Greenbush is due north of Sugar Lake, nestled in a deep valley in the Monashee mountains). Shortly thereafter there was a massive explosion in the lake, with shock waves being felt as far away as Winnipeg. The Canadian government was experimenting with moderate velocity gradients (positive/nega-tive). Recording stations were placed about 10 miles apart to record what lays below our feet, through mountains and then prairies. Results on the graphs also showed large faults, fissures and caves, many connected. Locally, some say there is a series of caves and natural tunnels connect-ing Okanagan and Kalamalka Lakes. Spelunkers, folks who explore, creep, and crawl beneath the earth’s crust, find many caves. Some are well-known and used. One such cave, very deep, is Arctomys Cave, found in Mt Robson Provincial Park. Another is Raspberry Rising, near Roger’s Pass. Penetrating it involves the use of a sump dive/waterfall climb.

One of our deepest caves is Castleguard Cave, in Banff National Park It’s Canada’s longest, at 21 kilometres, stretching to under the Columbia Icefield. Vancouver Island also has many caves. Two of these are the Weymer System, with 40 known entrances; and Crumble Cave, near Gold River. Back on the mainland, there is Century Mountain Cave, near the Crows Nest Pass.

Four years ago a spelunker came upon another narrow opening, exposing a very large cave with a monstrous opening. Near the base of Mt. Tupper, in Roger’s Pass, a turquoise spring. Dye was released at sinks on top of Mt. Tupper, and was found 53 minutes later, in sumps, in the lower immense cave two kilometres away, and 500 metres below. But now, despite an order in counsel prohibiting activities that damage karsts (fragile limestone formations), increased logging is having a negative effect on these caves. In the Chilliwack River valley, cavers are also com-plaining about lack of protection for Iron Curtain and Renaissance caves. It appears that unless a cave or karst is in a park or recreational site, there is little protection. But a government spokesperson in Victoria, Vivian Thomas, said caves and karsts are automatically protected under the Heritage Conservation Act, if they have historic or archeological value. The com-plete story of cavers’ concerns can be read at www.vancouversun.com; look for the article by Larry Pynn.

In answer to the Canadian Cave Conservancy complaints, Mark Jones, regional manager com-pliance/enforcement for Ministry of Forests,

Lands, and Natural Resources Operations, in a letter to the conservancy, states he will not take action on the complaint. Here are some of the reasons: Limited resources; in other words not enough field staff to do an investigation. Priorities on human health and safety; conserva-tion officers used this excuse at our Wilderness Watch meetings as well. A directive from Victoria, to avoid lengthy legal battles in court over wildlife infractions. Low odds of a prosecu-tion; this pertains to a successful prosecution in this case over a giant forest company (Western Forest Products) with high prices lawyers, and weak legislation regarding the forest practices act, which are quite clear to all operators. The response to the cavers concerns, can also be read from the Vancouver Sun column by Larry Pynn for Saturday Dec. 20. It really makes one angry, to know we have a provincial government, and its ministries, that can’t stand up to big business in the mining/forestry sector. After all, contribu-tions from these companies feed the coffers of the party.

Little bits from here and thereFor those who have travelled to the Kamloops

Wildlife Park and seen the white phase Kermode, or ‘spirit bear,’ named Clover, he gets a new home when coming out of hibernation in spring. At a cost of $700,000, the new habitat includes three acres with two ponds, vegetation, and cave space. An escape artist, he climbed out of his old enclosure last season and was found heading back to Terrace.

Don’t let your pooch mess with guns: A hunter in a remote Wyoming area, trying to move a stuck vehicle with two other hunters, placed his loaded rifle onto the back seat. He told his dog to jump from the front to back seat. The animal stepped on the trigger, firing the rifle and strik-ing its owner in the arm as he stood outside the truck.

Although a new wildlife allocation policy is now on the books, it appears that resident hunt-ers are getting the shaft, as no doubt lobbying to ministers in Victoria has them getting close to 25% of our moose, elk, goats, and sheep. Minister Thompson says some guides and oufit-ters are in jeopardy and want to increase busi-ness for them. Most guides cater to Americans/Europeans.

Enjoy getting out for a bit of ice fishing, cross country skiing, or snowshoeing, and and stay healthy!

‘Travels To’ winner

Russian and U.S. militaries have known since the 1950s that the “non-thermal” radiation (EMR) emitted by the radio frequencies used in today’s Smart Meters, baby monitors, cell phones, Wi-Fi routers etc., and the electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) associated with household electricity and all electrical devices are harmful to the human brain, central nervous system and immune sys-tem. They’ve also long known that some people suffer from any exposure to EMR/EMFs - a con-dition called electro-hypersensitivity or “EHS.” Militaries consider non-thermal EMR to be the perfect weapon: it cannot be seen, smelled, heard, tasted or felt – yet it is everywhere today! Honest scientists know that EMR and EMFs are linked to, promote or cause many cancers, autism, ADD, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS and a host of other diseases. Yet, to protect its military’s power-ful radars and electronics-based weapons sys-tems, and its economic interests globally, the USA coerces the radiation ‘standard-setting’ agencies of the world - and Health Canada - to adopt its egregiously high radiation Exposure Limits that

are, today, harming innocent, defenseless people the world over. Shamefully, if not criminally, B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Perry Kendall, has shown himself to be nothing but a puppet for Health Canada’s corrupt Radiation Protection Bureau, which explains why he – like them – refuses to admit that: 1) Non-thermal EMR is harmful to people! 2) EMFs are harmful to people! 3) EHS even exists! Were it not for Dr. Perry Kendall’s unforgivable, if not criminal, der-eliction of duty – for 15 years - one can only speculate as to: 1) how many billions of dollars British Columbia’s governments would have saved in Health Care costs: and, 2) how many illnesses and deaths, and how much needless suf-fering would have been avoided? Premier Clark, the people of British Columbia–including your own son–need you to protect them from Health Canada, from non-thermal EMR, from EMFs, and to protect those who suffer from EHS! In all decency, you must act NOW!

CAPRICORN Capricorn, you will forge a new relationship this week, and it may lead to a solid friendship that lasts a number of years. Feelings are bound to get more intense..

AQUARIUSThis is a great week for brainstorming, Aquarius. Once you have a few solid ideas, put your plans into motion. At least one should pan out quite well.

PISCES Someone is trying to steer you in one direction, Pisces. Politely decline if that direction is the opposite of what you want to do.

ARIES Unexpected news excites you, Aries. Even though you’re not yet sure if the news is good or bad, you have high hopes that positive information is on the way.

TAURUSTaurus, you have an abundance of energy and you have to find a way to harness it for the greater good. Find a new hobby or volunteer for a local project.

GEMINI Now is not a good time to make significant financial decisions, Gemini. You have to make changes when the time is right, and you will know when that day arrives.

CANCERCancer, your mood is uplifting to those around you. Maintain this optimistic outlook in the weeks ahead, and good fortune is bound to come your way.

LEOLeo, don’t be afraid to accept a helping hand at work. Seek help from others if no offers are immediately forthcoming. Explore all of your networking possibilities.

VIRGO Keep an extra-sharp mind this week, Virgo, as there isn’t anything you cannot accomplish if you put your mind to it. Try tackling those big projects that you have been avoiding.

LIBRALibra, a problem with no obvious solution has you seeing both sides of the argument. Dwell on things for a little while longer, and the solution will eventually come to you.

SCORPIO Scorpio, you are planning some big moves and you are bound to have a number of supporters behind you. Others want you to succeed so take an opportunity and run with it.

SAGITTARIUS Take extra care with projects at work, Sagittarius. A difficult problem may arise, and a careful approach to the tasks at hand can help you nip that problem in the bud.

Dear Reena,We have a problem trying to eliminate

the stain/varnish odour in a new cradle which our son built for his new daughter. It was varnished nearly two months ago. The paint store where we purchased it from advised us to use oil-based varnish, and that it would be safe within three weeks. Well, the baby was born on Thursday, and we all think the cradle still stinks a bit too much for the baby. So, she’s in the crib for now, but not so handy for mom and dad during the night. We read your remedy for smelly, mouldy bread in the cupboard. Regarding your solution of using coffee grounds in a sock, should the coffee be brewed, and the grounds new moist grounds, or should we use unused ground coffee? I’m going to look for Murphy’s Oil soap, but my husband and I are having a debate as to whether to use wet coffee grounds, or unused ground coffee. Your column said “fresh coffee grounds” so I went ahead and put this morning’s fresh (wet) grounds into a sock and he’s laughing at me. We put it in the cradle and then put a large plastic bag loosely over the top of the cradle. Please clarify for me. Or maybe you have a better solution for removing the last bit of odour from the cradle before we use it for our new granddaughter. Thanks, Julie

Dear Julie,First of all congratulations on the new

addition to your family, how extremely exciting! Secondly, I would not recom-mend putting the baby into the cradle until the smell is gone. In my opinion her lungs are still developing and should not be exposed to the crib until the oil based stain has completely cured. If possible, place the cradle into a room with better ventilation so that the stain cures faster.

Another option is to lightly sand the cra-dle and seal it with an odour free clear latex finish. If you must leave the cradle as is, take a bowl of water, slice an onion in half and place it inside the bowl. Put the bowl somewhere in the room near the cradle. Onions absorb odours effectively without leaving a smell behind. Also bring a fan into the room to circulate the air and help the cradle dry. Coffee will be difficult to apply to a cradle, instead use two teaspoons olive oil per pint of vinegar. Spray onto cradle and wipe. Or apply Murphy’s Oil according to the directions. Worst case sce-nario, seal the cradle with shellac. Congratulations again! P.S. Unused dry coffee grounds mask odours best, leave used coffee grounds for the garden.

Dear Reena,I have some polyester/cotton backpacks

and bags with organization logos on them. They appear to be stamped onto the cloth. Is there any way to remove these logos? I would like to donate the bags but want to remove the logos first. I have tried a hot

iron and paper towel but this has not worked. Any help would be appreci-ated. Thanks, Dawn

Dear Dawn,An inked on logo is going to be

very difficult to remove especially if the ink has dyed the backpack which is often the case. Instead of removing the logo, you will save a lot of time by covering the logo with a sewn on or press on patch.

Dear Reena,My house is 45 years old and my bath-

rooms are all finished with one inch ceram-ic tiles. I have recently replaced the sinks and toilets, but the rooms still do not look fresh because the grout is not white like it should be. Is there anything I can do to lighten and brighten the old grout? Thank you for your kind attention. Regards, Elaine

Dear Elaine,Whenever I want to freshen up old grout,

I get a handy little piece of pumice stone. Pour some dish soap onto the pum-ice stone and wet it, then scrub the grout. Looks wonderful. Next spray isopropyl alcohol onto grout to prevent mildew from growing and discolouring the grout (keep away from small children). Another option is to make a paste of borax and water, scrub grout with an old toothbrush.

Feedback from Reader:Hi Reena,In response to what to do with those plas-

tic grocery bags, I double them (so they

don’t leak) and hang them on a little plastic garbage bag holder which is mounted on the inside of my sink cupboard door. You just slip the “handles” of the grocery bags onto the gizmo and they take the place of the plastic kitchen garbage liners that are sold in the marketplace every day. What a great way to recycle without having to buy extra kitchen bags for your trash. I don’t know why more people don’t use their gro-cery bags in this way....sure works for me! Lorraine

Fabulous tips of the week:At your favourite restaurant take advan-

tage of the delicious salad and breadsticks - and eat only a small portion of your entree. Bring the rest home and you’ve got lunch for the next day. Submitted by: Holly

Television sets that use remote controls consume energy even if they are not in use. Get into the habit of unplugging as many electrical items (DVDs, stereos, toasters etc.) as possible when vacation-ing, for energy savings and safety.

PETRACHUK, CAROLINE “YVONNE”

(nee ROKOSH)Passed away peacefully in Salmon Arm, BC on December 25, 2014 at the age of 79 after a long, courageous battle with dementia. It is with great sadness, and loss, that we must say goodbye to a beautiful, loving mother, sister, aunt and friend that we will cherish forever.

She is survived by her loving daughter, Karen Swaffield (Luis Vargas), brother, Roy Rokosh, and niece and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Frank & Alma Rokosh, and brother, Frank “Bud” Rokosh. Yvonne was born in Revelstoke, BC on October 12, 1935 and grew up in Solsqua, BC; however, she spent most of her life in Vancouver, BC.

Yvonne built a successful career in the lumber industry in Vancouver, working for more than 40 years in this field. She was an extremely conscientious professional who was highly respected by her peers.

Yvonne was musically gifted and played the piano from a young age. She played in bands in the Eagle Valley when she was a teenager, and well into her adulthood. She was unable to play the piano in the last six months of her life. Prior to that, and even with the dementia, she was always able to sit down at the piano and play beautifully for those who were listening.

Yvonne enjoyed spending time laughing with friends and family, playing the piano, knitting, playing cards, and traveling. Those of us who were lucky enough to know and love her, are much better for it. We are also forever grateful to those at Mount Ida Mews who cared so dearly for Yvonne.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society would be greatly appreciated.

Online condolences can be sent through Yvonne’s obituary at

www.bowersfuneralservice.com.

A celebration of Yvonne’s life will be held on a future date in Salmon Arm, BC.

Helene Blanche Jansen (nee Gaumond)September 3, 1917 – December 21, 2014

Helene was born in Shell River, Saskatchewan and spent most of her life in Maple Ridge and Salmon Arm. She passed away peacefully in Salmon Arm.She was predeceased by her husband Herb Jansen and her daughter Evangeline Donnelly. She is survived by her daughters, Muriel Cue (Tony) and Sue Ackerman. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Michael, Benjamin, Elaine, Brian, Danielle, Amelia and great-grandchildren, Rio, Sage and Jack.Helene was an RN in Alberta and BC for over 40 years. Due to her determination, she upgraded in her late 50’s to earn her Bachelor of Nursing degree. As a result she held a position as a public health nurse in Mackenzie for 5 years.Helene loved nature and the outdoors, showing her passion though gardening, camping and hiking.She also had a great love of music, attending concerts and playing the violin herself. In her retirement years she had time to devote to quilting, making dozens of quilts for friends and family. She also had time to travel and volunteer in the community.Throughout her life, Helene showed that she was a very determined person who valued education and her faith. She had a full life rich with varied experiences; she is much loved and will be missed.We would like to thank the community care aides, who looked after her in her own home and the kind and compassionate staff at Bastion Place. We would also like to thank Dr. McCallum for his care and concern.A prayer vigil will take place January 8, 2015 at 8:00 p.m. The funeral Mass will be January 9 at 11:00 am.
