Homes gone, families displaced, I could not grasp what I was seeing as building after building lay in ruin. Jetskis from New York were laying four blocks inland and someone’s boat from a town away sat on the front lawn of a house that was unrecognizable. The day after the storm, families walked the streets where their homes once were or still stood, unlivable, and police, fire and emergency workers scrambled to re-establish some order. It took a week to get organized as FEMA, The Salvation Army, The Office of Emergency Management and many other disaster relief organizations planted roots to help more than three thousand families try to cope with this disaster.

By Maria Monyka Van Bergeyk When most people hear a hurricane is headed in their direction they tend to take basic precautions or just go about their business as if nothing will happen. That’s just what the residents of the bayshore town of Union Beach, New Jersey did. They were accustomed to the run-of-the-mill storms that hit them year in and year out. This time it was different; a perfect storm of sorts, called Sandy, was bearing down on them– the likes of which hadn’t been seen, according to local residents, since Hurricane Donna in 1961. I was there in the town visiting loved ones when the local news began reporting of this “Frankenstorm,” as they put it, that might make landfall right on top of us and unlike the regulars, I watched with fear as the news continued to warn of the monster nearing our doorstep. The locals didn’t feel threatened; many told me not to worry. “Hurricane Irene hit last year and was little more than a bad thunderstorm,” they said but something deep inside me said otherwise and for days that feeling of dread hung over my head. The storm was a day away and we were warned to evacuate, but we stayed like many other naysayers. We taped the windows, stockpiled water, candles, and blankets. We watched the constant news coverage as the storm inched its way closer. The morning the storm arrived we considered evacuating, but chose to ride it out. We were located at the highest point in town, and if we did evacuate we’d only be moved three blocks from our location to the local school, which ended up taking on three feet of water. The wind howled and grew in intensity; branches and garbage were moving through the air like a tiny tornado and with no real

able. Everything in moderation is key. As usual, the dietary choices we make also greatly influence our health. Consuming excess sugar is one of the best ways to sabotage your immune function. In fact, research has show that consuming only 2 sweetened drinks can reduce immune function by 50% for up to 5 hours! With grayer skies and dropping temperatures, many people tend not to get outside for sufficient sunlight exposure. Healthy sunlight exposure allows your body to create sufficient vitamin D to support proper immune function. I recommend supplementing with at least 4000 IU of Vitamin D every day to make sure levels are sufficient. Another dietary immune booster is ginger. It is known to boost circulation and enhance immune function. And finally, your immune system requires a proper functioning nervous system to maintain a state of “optimal” health. Ensure you are receiving regular chiropractic adjustments. A subluxation-free nervous system allows the body to adapt appropriately to its environment and function in a state of “wellness.” The bottom line? Be smart and stay healthy! Supplements can help you stay healthy, but you also need to eat right, exercise regularly, avoid toxic foods, get plenty of rest, and get adjusted by your chiropractor. For a healthy and enjoyable winter call Harbourfront Family Chiropractic today at (250) 8030224.
Xylitol
Xylitol is a naturally occurring compound found in fibrous fruits and vegetables, including berries and corn. In World War II, as there was a shortage of sugar, Finland produced xylitol as an alternative to sugar. Today, xylitol is used for more than an alternative sugar substitute. Those who are trying to lose weight and have a sweet tooth can benefit from the low-calorie compound. It has fewer calories than sugar and a low glycemic index so it is good for diabetics as well. If you are diabetic, it is best to discuss with your certified diabetic professional the use of xylitol instead of sugar. In some studies, drops and chewing gum containing xylitol have shown to reduce tooth cavities and prevent tooth decay. I have asked a few dentists their opinion on the use of xylitol for the prevention of cavities. Some dentists agree to this, and some do not. Regular brushing and oral hygiene were recommended by all the dentists, with or without the use of xylitol. I also see many products at natural health food stores that have xylitol. One such product is nasal drops/spray, and its health benefits range from helping people with seasonal allergies and even preventing bacterial infection in nasal cavities. It is believed that spraying the nose with a product containing xylitol decreases the number of harmful bacteria. Moreover, a clean nose reduces problems with allergies and asthma that are caused by nasal irritants and pollutants. In one study, chewing gum with xylitol also helped in the prevention of ear infections. As well, some studies have shown this compound may be helpful in the prevention of osteoporosis possibly because xylitol increases calcium absorption. This sugar-like tasting substance can cause diarrhea in some people. It is best to consume it on a regular basis only after talking to a health care practitioner. This is for general information only and not a substitute for medical advice. No action/treatment or inaction/non treatment should be taken without consulting your physician. Readers should consult appropriate health professionals on any matter relating to their health and well-being.

How do I treat dry skin?
Cleanse: Using the wrong cleanser can cause much needed moisture to be stripped from the skin. Opt for cleansers that are gentle such as cream or milk cleansers. Moisturize: Dry skin requires a more emollient cream and may benefit from a moisturizing mask once a week. Try applying a hydrating serum under your moisturizer to penetrate deeper into the layers of the skin. Exfoliate: Exfoliating helps to remove the "dead" skin cells allowing moisturizers to penetrate deeper into the skin. Exfoliate 1 - 2 times per week with a gentle exfoliator for a radiant complexion. Tip: Last but not least, hydrate from the inside out! Make sure you're drinking plenty of water!

Studies indicate that approximately 25 % of vehicles have under inflated tires by about seven pounds per square inch, especially during winter’s colder temperatures. This leads to an average loss of fuel efficiency to the tune of 3%, or a loss of 4 cents per litre at today’s local gas prices.

Farewell to SACL recycling gang
Backsplashes
I’m going to start adding visual elements to these columns–I’ll put a few links to sites, or some pictures, on my website (Designsewlutions.ca) in the Columns section where the reprints of all of these columns live. I’ll try to have them on the site by the Monday following publication. I know a picture or two can really help us get things in perspective. Backsplashes: Well, the reason for this column is that I was at a client’s the other day; they are renovating a bathroom and it was time to pick a paint colour, and the conversation had to include the backsplash. I think I may have snapped when someone suggested a decorative row of tile above the backsplash and coordinating decorative tiles in the tub surround. The master of the house (who is doing the reno himself) was in the process of removing all the 4-inch square tiles from the tub surround. Off-white tiles, which isn’t too bad, but every so often there was a gawdawful printed one. Like a date stamp that said “1978.” Consider this: in this tiny little room, we are often trying to co-ordinate the prints of a floor and counter top. (Unless the surface is a plain colour with no pattern on it at all, there is usually a print, often made up of many colours.) Then we want to add another print in the form of a backsplash. Then we have curtains or blinds, a shower curtain and accessories. It can get really busy in there, very quickly. The current view in decorating is, less is more, and subtle is better, with an emphasis on choosing quality over quantity. But wait, isn’t this what we know to be the guideline of choosing calming, classic interiors anyway? Hence the popularity of solid-coloured tiles in backsplashes. And, please, please do not put contrasting “interesting” tiles into the mix. They lock you into a colour scheme and they are, no matter how forward-thinking you think they are, a date stamp. Use the money you save for a new mirror, or some really snazzy faucets. If you want the backsplash to be the star of the show, then make it special and have the rest of the room be the supporting cast members. If, on the other hand, you want the antique mirror on the wall to be the star, keep the backsplash neutral. “Your eye goes to the area of greatest contrast first, and contrast makes a space seem smaller.” There–one of the most important design principles in one sentence.
As of February 1st, the Shuswap Association for Community Living (SACL) will no longer be picking up recycling from businesses around the Salmon Arm area. Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) Waste Reduction Facilitator Carmen Fennell says the Regional District will miss the group (pictured above) who came into the office every Tuesday to pick up paper and bottles for recycling. “They have given our office excellent service over the years and everyone will miss their cheerful voices.”
Earlier today the group came in for their last paper pickup at the CSRD office and said goodbye. The SACL crew said they enjoyed going from place to place, visiting the businesses, and picking up recycling. “The SACL group has left big shoes to fill when it comes to picking up recycling from businesses.” Ms. Fennell says it’s fortunate that a company, BFI Progressive Waste Solutions, is able to fill the service gap with a similar type of recycling service.

CBC’S DRAGONS’ DEN IS HOLDING AUDITIONS
Producers of the Dragons’ Den are inviting inventors and people with fledgling businesses to make a pitch to them in Vancouver on January 26 or March 2. No experience is necessary and participants of all ages are encouraged to audition. Be prepared to pitch your business in under five minutes. If producers think you are ready for your 15 minutes of fame, you will be invited to meet the dragons in Toronto in June when all episodes are filmed. Details at www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/auditions
ticipants, friends or families, etc., etc. He was confused about all the rules in the contract. Paul’s grill-tree folds up to the size of a tennis racket. When opened and sunk in the ground near a bonfire, it has three grill pans to hold food. They can go up or down or sideways, depending on their need for heat. He found someone to help arrange the manufacturing process in China, and he got a loan for 1,000 units from Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union. He has been selling the grilltrees as gifts, and in camping season at Canadian Tire in Salmon Arm, Demille’s, Crown RV, Country Camping, Shuswap Clothing & Shoes, Askew’s downtown, and Sprocket’s Restaurant in Balmoral. The units come three to a box, packed in bubble-wrap. If you would like to place a bulk order, contact Paul at 250-8046722, grilltree@gmail.com or visit www.grill-tree.com.
LET’S HELP OUR SENIORS WITH DRIVEABLE
This letter came from Jack and Diana Stevens: “Our sympathy goes out to Helga Dodds. This is so unfair. We have a sister in Castlegar who is going through the same thing with DriveABLE. It’s been over a year now and still no licence. You lose your independence and that is so very important. So we need to think, what happens to the rest of us when we turn 80? We should protest this DriveABLE nonsense to our M.L.A. and premier.”
COACH’S MEETING FOR DRIVEABLE
If you would like to learn how to help a senior get through DriveABLE, come to a meeting on Wed., Feb. 6 at 2 p.m. at Chester’s House of Cinnamon in Piccadilly.
FAREWELL TO THE PENNY
LOCAL RESIDENT AUDITIONED FOR DRAGONS’ DEN
When Paul Bjerg of Balmoral learned that he could pitch his grill tree and possibly get on Dragons’ Den where he would ask for $50,000 to fund off-shore manufacturing, he drove to Kelowna on audition day a few years ago. He was number 80 in the line-up of 100. He had one week’s notice of the audition and was unprepared by not having a business proposal. When he entered, he was given a five-page consent and release document to read. It contained 33 terms and conditions to which he had to agree by signing at the end. Number 30 said he had to agree that everything he saw or heard there that day shall be kept confidential for four years. It included the program, the other par-
What’s a penny good for? Not much. It seems many Canadians couldn’t be bothered to pick a penny off the sidewalk. This is history now: A penny saved is a penny earned. Beginning on Monday, cash purchases will be rounded up or down to the nearest five cents, but there are no government-imposed rules or policing. Financial institutions will begin redeeming pennies starting Mon., Feb. 4. They are not being compensated for handling costs, only the face value of the coins. It had been costing the government of Canada 1.6 cents to produce each penny. Now pennies will be recycled and the zinc and copper from melteddown coppers will be sold.
LEARNING HOW TO IDENTIFY DRUG USE
A community forum on drugs was held on Monday, Jan. 21 at Jackson school gym to mainly adults. It was led by Cpl. Luis Sardinha and Cst. Dan St. Amand of the Salmon Arm detachment.
Before the forum, Cst. Yvonne Dibblee, right, was interviewed for CBC Radio by Leah Shaw of Salmon Arm.
SEEKING HISTORY OF NOTCH HILL CHURCH
A wonderful video of the start of restoration of the Holy Cross Church in Notch Hill can be seen on YouTube. Search for Notch Hill Church and click on Fred Bird. You will see a Sorrento Towing truck as it winches the church upright, and a CPR freight train as it rolls by. Omega Engineering of Salmon Arm is donating its services to oversee the restoration. Permission for access to the church has been obtained from the farmer who owns the land around it, and permission for the restoration was obtained from the government because when the church ceased to hold services, the archbishop in Kamloops turned it over to the crown. The society appreciates the grant from the regional district to start restoration, and to the Shuswap Foundation for a grant for a new roof. More fundraising will be required. Louise Barber is seeking history from 1922, when the church was built. She wants to get in touch with Barry Fredrickson, the last surviving parishioner. If you have info, call her at 250-253-5776.
BILLS FROM CHRISTMAS SHOPPING ARE ARRIVING
Many shoppers abuse their credit cards during the preChristmas season and then have to work their way out of the debt over next many months. Some have no idea how they got in so much trouble. Here’s a tip: freeze your charge cards in water and keep them in the freezer. Doing that prevents impulse buying. Use cash or a debit card. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831 The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of Sally Scales and do not necessarily represent those of Lakeshore News and its staff.

Snow not cleared from Canoe streets
Why oh why do we in Canoe not get the same street cleaning as Salmon Arm?! I went to my daughter’s yesterday to take my granddaughter for a walk, and had to drive over a mound of snow in the middle of the road so high that it took a bracket off my car. It is the only road in or out of that neighbourhood! Every intersection had a mound of snow so high that you need a 4 by 4 to get through,

Letters to the Editor Three sides to every story
In response to “Proud of Status” (Jan. 25th issue): It is in my opinion that we as Canadians are very ignorant about our history and government role and involvement being negative or positive. I have recently gone back to school and am now an LPN. Part of my course involved learning about Aboriginal ways and customs. We were fortunate enough to have a guest speaker, “Jack Sparrow.” Listening to him speak was very informative. I learned that when the federal government introduced their tier system for aboriginals to apply for their status, it provided a way to weed the aboriginals out. I had no idea. But he explained that by doing so, the gov-
ernment would decrease the numbers of aboriginals by determining what percentage of “native” they truly were. The average Canadian, of course, is led to believe that all this is a good thing. If we as Canadians were not led in a manner created by our government in order to solely benefit themselves, then Canada would be less ignorant. As Canadians, it is our own ignorance to not educate ourselves and research information ourselves. There are always three sides to every story: one side, the other side and somewhere in the middle is the truth. We shouldn’t criticize without all the facts. Nadine Du Gas, Salmon Arm
Must we pay a ‘sunshine tax’?
I would like to thank Ian Clay and M. Lawson for their articles regarding high gas prices. I too question the reasoning in some of our local gas stations; as well as in our local store where, to get a lower price, I must ask for the Vernon price whenever I buy a product! When I first moved to the Shuswap I temporarily worked for a houseboat company for a very low wage and when I asked why are they underpaying their employees, they said it was the “Sunshine Tax.” Is that what we
should believe? We should pay more to live in such a beautiful place? I feel sorry for the rest of the local businesses of Salmon Arm – you are losing out! It makes it hard to purchase items locally when we are already out of town to purchase fuel; we make a day of it and get groceries, clothing, lunch/dinner and any other necessities. Please justify your actions because I am ignorant of your keen business strategies. R Schierbeck, Blind Bay
Trapping was a way of life for 74-year-old Ollie Szenson. Now, with the dawn breaking on a tinge of cold pale rose, on a crisp, slate-grey morning, Patches, ol’ Ollie’s collie-cross dog, laying by the big wood heater, began to growl. There was a heavy thumping sound, outside on the cabin porch. Ollie peered out through the window in the cold dawn, reaching for the .30-30 Winchester rifle behind the door. Opening the action, he slid a round into the barrel. Lately, he’d had trouble with a wolverine. Opening the door, there stood Cinnamon, the moose cow, and her calf beside her. He instantly recognized her by her white shoulder patch she’d had from birth. Now a three-year-old, with her first baby, she had returned to his trapping cabin deep in the woods. She was just a calf, when he jumped in the raging spring torrent of Cougar Creek, got a rope around her, and pulled her out. Now she needed help. Her calf had been attacked, and chewed on by wolves, who tore its hindquarters as she fought them off. She had brought the calf to Ollie, with an animal’s instinct of self preservation/protection. She had remembered him, and carried a glimmer of hope, that many animal species have instinctively, when in imminent danger. Although a bit apprehensive at first, he knew Cinnamon had a gentle disposition. So, as the calf stood trembling in cold and shock, he immediately got some warm water, clean rags, and antiseptic soap, and began to clean the calf’s wounds. Although timid and shy, it stood quietly as Ollie dressed the wounds. He then went to his shed, and carried out two straw bales, and spread them on the porch. That evening, Cinnamon and her baby contentedly bedded down, knowing they were out of harm’s way. Inborn prey/predator animal survival instincts play a large part of what we as humans normally don’t see in winter. I was driving around a corner on the Trinity Valley road one early cold November morning, while heading for Lumby to count spawning coho salmon, on Harris, Duteau, & Craighton Creeks; and there I came across nine mule deer does, standing in the middle of the road. There was likely a cougar around. My suspicions were confirmed, after taking the service shotgun from the vehicle, and tramping up through timber in the snow to a small clearcut. Judging by the tracks, a large cat at that! The deer hung around that road for two days, in a tight group. This is the “position effect,” as that big cat would circle the group, taking a lone or loose animal. Knowing this, the deer avoid the “delusion effect,” meaning that a lone animal would be dragged down if caught. Metabolism slows for game animals in winter, allowing them to conserve energy. Bull elk, sheep rams, and bull moose have lost much weight during the rut, and are now in solitary single or bachelor groups, feeding to regain strength. Predators know this, and will target them. Stealthful killers,
shuswapoutdoors by Hank Shelley such as cougars, will specifically hone in on mountain goats, moose, etc. While hunting in the Wap valley last November, my buddy and I witnessed a very large black wolf chase a doe deer, right past our truck in the snow. The deer could only run a few hundred yards before she would be taken down. A deer, elk, or moose, being chased in bush or heavy snow, must convert stored energy to kinetic energy, for the adrenalin rush and propulsion. To do this, deer and moose will run with their head down, reducing body lift, with each footfall cycle. The less the centre of gravity is displaced upward, the more energy is directed to forward propulsion, and the lower cost per unit of horizontal distance moved, and the longer that animal can run on its stored energy. Our local bull moose, and now some large bull elk in the region are again gaining strength on winter browse; but too, they have sought out secluded locations to hide from predators. Also here, snow depth gives them an advantage over wolves who must decide if the energy they must exert is worth the kill they may take down. On last week’s Cariboo ice fishing trip, of the 18 moose we observed, not one was a bull. They were in heavy timber and dry swamps, feeding on aspen, willow, and birch browse, restoring their fat stores and healing wounds from battles won or lost, such as avoiding cougars and wolves. All this is a small insight into the many aspects that make up life’s cycle in our animal kingdom.
Here and there in the Shuswap
Many of us take delight in feeding our feathered friends each day at feeders. Deer, too, are being fed in some backyards locally. A couple in Tappen are helping out a family of racoons, giving them apples. We all want to help our wildlife make it through a deep snow winter. Here then, are some helpful hints for deer you may be feeding. Never give them hay without running water. Hay will ball up in the stomach, and they cannot pass it. Alder, cedar, or birch branches and/or tips will help them out. Deer that were feeding on alfalfa in fields and bales may adapt, but barely. Apples work, and are a good price right now, as well as crushed corn/grain mix in large bags at Pedro’s Fruit & Vegetables. Note: moose/deer/elk/goats/ sheep/horses on the range can eat snow to survive, but domestic cows need water to drink and survive. Fishing report: Fishing has been slow on most local lakes, due to the moon phase. It will pick up for February 2nd, Saturday: minor; 10:04 a.m. major 4:17 p.m. Sunday Feb. 3rd: minor 11 a.m. major 5:14 p.m. Tight lines and good fishin’!

Interested in four-part harmony?
Seeking men who like to sing for fun! I would like to put together a four-part harmony singing group following the barbershop quartet style. No experience needed, only a desire to raise your voice in song. You should be at least 15 years old. The Barbershop Harmony Society got its start back in 1938, when two men in Tulsa, Oklahoma decided that the tensions of the day needed to be “lightened up,” so they invited their friends and acquaintances to an evening of singing and har-
monizing at a local hotel. Twenty men attended and the Barbershop Harmony Society was born. Seventy-five years have past, and the Society has grown internationally to include not only the USA and Canada, but affiliated associations all around the world. Chapters all across North America make time to entertain at seniors’ centres as well as retirement facilities and the Society’s focus on youth has resulted in a fantastic growth in high schools and universities across North America to the

Farming at its best
Greencroft’s Garden produce has become a fixture at the Enderby Farmer’s market and beyond. Root crop veggies are still sold this time of the year, but don’t think for a minute that Gabrielle and Wolfe as well as all the other market farmers sit around watch TV and read seed catalogues when the snow is piled high around their greenhouses. I am almost finished reading “Folks, This Ain’t Normal” by Joe Salatin, and I think that Joe would approve of Greencroft’s animal husbandry and soil improvements. He does not approve of the way we grow
food, raise our beef, chickens and piggies; nor does he approve of using drinking water for flush toilets, our wasted grey water, and the way we squander energy. Compost is king and little red wriggly worms will save the world! Google “compost bins” and see all the nifty inventions that will break down your plant scraps to make rich potting soil. Or, get two or three chickens for your backyard. Share the eggs with your neighbours and they are much less likely to go running to city council with absurd complaints. Here’s Gabbi’s story:
January and February are a quiet month for our livestock. We cleaned all the barns again piling up a nice compost heap and we even got trenches dug behind the barn and filled in drain rock so our barn stays drier. Lily, our Jersey/Holstein heifer, loves cull onions, carrot scraps and squash; and so do her goat friends. We clean around the feed trough a few times a week realizing that cows make a lot more manure. The sheep live in two groups now, five ewes out in the pasture with the black ram and five in the barn with the young ram (he still has to be named). The goats Ivy and Star are getting quite round and are both
dried off (not milking). Their due date is around March 11 and they love to cuddle up to Lily at night. We did have the roosters, some old hens and three ducks butchered before Christmas and the young hens and some older ones are starting to lay eggs in many colours again. The pigs are now rototilling our green house which we opened up for them. They really enjoy this dry space and are quite tame now, coming over to visit and get scratches. We are still cooking up cull potatoes for them and they love it. No food goes to waste and Greencroft farm creatures live a nice life and are healthy enough to eat!
The farm animals
ROASTED ROOT CROP VEGGIES
Potatoes, yam, carrots, parsnip, sunchokes, or squash (if you still have any), onions, garlic Cut all the veggies in medium size chunks, slice onions and coarsely chop garlic. (As much or as little as you like.) I like to roast in generous butter, but you may
want to use extra-virgin olive oil. Add your favorite herbs. Cover the roasting pan for the first 45 min. and bake at 350 degrees. Stir the veggies every 15 min or so. Raise the temperature to 400 degrees for 15 min. if you like a few crunchy edges to your potatoes.

Book interest
What started as a quiet drive home from the hockey rink was interrupted with “Dad, I think it’s time I opened a bank account.” “Okay?!” I replied to my nine-year-old a.k.a. bean counter protégé. “Yeah, I’ve saved some money in my piggy bank, but I would like to get some interest too,” he explained. “Interest? What do you know about interest?” I inquired. “Mom, was telling me about interest. I didn’t do my reading after school today and she said I had to do double the reading tomorrow plus interest. She also told me about debt.” I was thinking to myself, “Poor kid is getting financially brainwashed by both of his parents. He’ll be running the Bank of Canada before we know it!” “Well that sounds good,” I replied. “I will look into getting you a bank account set up.” That evening I told my wife about our conversation. She explained that earlier in the day he had told her he wanted a credit card. He had told her that his friend had his own credit card and so he wanted one too. After gathering a few more details it was determined that the friend in fact had a debit card from opening up his own bank account. This is what led to the conversation about interest and debt. For Christmas his brothers bought him his very own electronic coin counter. Now he needs a place to put all those coins. Obviously, his piggy bank just doesn’t cut it anymore, so he wants a bank account. It all makes sense. As for the credit card? Well, this is a topic we’ll have to re-visit a few more times before he gets one. He needs to have a better understanding of debt before we go down that road; otherwise it won’t be “book interest” he’ll have to be worried about.
Letters to the Editor Expenditures should be accounted for
Letter to Chief Spence, Most would agree the financial audit of your band’s financial expenditures demand a full accounting. It is my understanding the funding’s purpose was intended to directly assist your band members? As a Canadian citizen who has worked throughout western Canada and both territories during my career, and has paid thousands of dollars in taxes to our federal government, I also ask – Where did the money go and who received these millions of dollars? This money that your band has received was provided by hardworking tax-paying citizens of Canada. I urge anyone reading this letter to contact their MP [in this constituency Colin Mayes] and demand an accounting of these expenditures and to find out why you and your fellow chiefs receive these high salaries and expense amounts in the first place. The R.C.M.P. should be required to investigate these matters to clear up any suggestion these monies may not have been spent as intended. A full accounting must be obtained! B. Campbell, Sorrento

Tax News from Susan Grimes at H&R Block I am continuing with the subject of common-law relationships. Apart from being considered common-law after living together for a twelve month period, you are also considered common-law immediately if you begin living together and there is a child or children in the relationship. One does not have to be the biological parent of a child for the child to be considered your dependant. Again, the change of marital status form should be completed as soon as you begin to live together if a child is involved. The reason for this is that the Child tax benefit credit and the HST credit are based on income from both parents, and the payments may have to be adjusted when the second parents’ income is added to that of the first parent. Delaying telling CRA of any change in marital status can result in large amounts of CTB and HST having to be paid back. Come in and see us if in doubt and to get the forms you need.

Alternative flowers for Valentine’s Day
After Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day is the second most popular day to give flowers to a loved one. Thousands upon thousands of roses are imported from areas of South America in time for Valentine’s Day, and the rose has become the unofficial flower of this day. Those who have given a bouquet of roses before understand that roses can be quite expensive, and that price only rises on holidays like Valentine’s Day. Instead of feeling pressured into giving a dozen longstemmed roses, gift-givers can explore other beautiful flower options available. Red roses may signify love, but just about any other crimson-hued flower can also represent the strong emotions felt for a sweetheart–and at a much more affordable cost. When visiting the florist to have a bouquet or arrangement of flowers assembled for Valentine’s Day, consider mixing and matching some other flowers for an arrangement with flair and originality. • Dahlias: Named after Anders Dahl, a Swedish botanist, these flowers are native to Mexico but actually prefer cooler growing conditions. Dahlias come in all sizes, from small blooms of a few inches to much larger blossoms that may be a foot in width. They are related to the sunflower, daisy and chrysan-

themum. The Dahlia usually is not a scented flower, which may work for people who are especially sensitive to scented blooms. • Chrysanthemums: Also known as mums, chrysanthemums are versatile flowers that symbolize optimism, joy, fidelity and love. Although mums are traditionally yellow, they can also be white, red and other hybrid hues. • Peonies: Peonies are herbaceous perennial plants that produce large, often fragrant flowers ranging in color from red to white. Peonies are highly prized by Eastern cultures, and in China they are known as the “flower of riches and honor.” • Carnations: Carnations have the scientific name of Dianthus, which means “flowers of God.” Carnations are particularly coveted because they can last long after being cut, which makes them popular in floral arrangements. Dark red carnations are said to convey affection and deep love. Because of their popularity, carnations are often easily affordable. • Columbine: Columbine is native to North America, Asia and Europe. It has lacy-looking leaves and bellshaped flowers. While columbines are traditionally used as garden plants to attract hummingbirds, a few blooms added to a floral
arrangement can brighten up the design. • Poppies: Low-maintenance and usually easy to grow, poppies’ vivid red color and large blooms add to their aesthetic appeal. • Cardinals: Cardinals are long, tubular flowers that grow wild throughout North America. Tall and dramatic, these red flowers can add drama to any floral arrangement. The rose may be traditional for Valentine’s Day, but gifting with a variety of red-hued flowers may add visual appeal and affordability to arrangements.

Thursday February 14, 2013 Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness. - Oliver Wendell Holmes
Falling in love with chocolate
Valentine’s Day and chocolate have been linked for some time now, but there really hasn’t been any definitive explanation for just why the delicious confection and the day of love seem to go hand in hand. The average American eats 11 pounds of chocolate every year, a significant percentage of which is enjoyed around Valentine’s Day. The reason people are known to enjoy and crave chocolate may be connected to its chemical components. Chocolate has been known to affect mood in many ways. It contains 380 known chemicals, triggering a host of responses in the brain. Chocolate can trigger the production of opioids, which are chemicals, such as those
found in opium, that produce a feeling of well-being (euphoria). Eating chocolate then may make a person feel better, which is why chocolate is often a turnto comfort snack. Chocolate also may work like THC, the chemical components in marijuana, extending the feeling of being “high” or well-being. Chocolate can also increase blood pressure and blood-sugar levels, attributing to feelings of alertness. The caffeine in chocolate also acts as a stimulant.
A hundred hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you. - Author Unknown
However, the reason chocolate may be snatched up come Valentine’s Day is that chocolate appears to contain phenylalanine, the same chemical that is produced by the brain when people fall in love. Doctors think that eating chocolate creates a temporary “love high.” For those gifting chocolate for Valentine’s Day, consider dark chocolate, which is also high in antioxidants. This chocolate is among the healthier varieties in which to indulge.

Craft idea ~ Puff y heart
For ages: 5 and up, this fun puffy heart craft project is perfect for Valentine’s Day. Few supplies are needed and it can be altered for younger age groups. What you’ll need: • Pink and white tissue paper, cut into 1” squares • White craft glue • Scissors • Piece of card stock or
construction paper • Pencil with an eraser How to make it: Cut out a heart shape from the construction paper or card stock. Put white craft glue into the centre of the heart, shaped like a heart. Using the eraser end of a pencil, place the eraser into the centre of a white tissue paper square. Twist the tissue paper square around the eraser and dot it onto the glue. Continue this process until entire middle of the heart is covered with white tissue paper. See photo.
Repeat the process from step #3 with pink tissue paper for the border of the heart. Glue a hanger to the back if you like. Tips: For younger kids who have trouble working the pencil steps, allow them to wad up the tissue paper squares and press them directly onto the glue with their fingers. Instead of a hanger, try gluing a magnet strip to the back and hang on your fridge. Always save the tissue paper from birthday gifts for craft projects like these.

Kamloops selected to host 2018 BC Winter Games
The Honourable Terry Lake, Minister of Environment and MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson, announced recently that Kamloops has been awarded the rights to host the 2018 BC Winter Games. As Canada’s Tournament Capital, Kamloops is highly regarded as a superb event host with considerable experience with hosting multi-sport Games including the 1993 Canada Games, 2011 Western Canada Games, and two previous BC Games. “When Kamloops hosted the first ever BC Winter Games, it inspired us as a community to take our first steps down the road to becoming Canada’s Tournament Capital. Since then, our facilities have come a long way and this event will give us the opportunity to showcase them,” said Kamloops Mayor, Peter Milobar. The BC Winter Games are an important developmental milestone for B.C.’s emerging high performance athletes. Over 2100 athletes, coaches, and officials will participate in approximately 18 sports, February 22-25, 2018. The Games will be organized and staged by a community Board of Directors and 2000 volunteers. For information about the BC Games Society and the bid process please visit www.bcgames. org.

From seasoned skiers to some relatively new to the sport, children from 16 schools ranging from Sicamous, Revelstoke, Tappen, Sorrento, Armstrong, Enderby and Salmon Arm came out to enjoy “the best day ever” as one thrilled young skier declared.

By Pat Danforth The Children’s Pirate Loppet, held on Friday, January 25th, was “arrrghuably” highly successful. It was a stunning day of bright sun, appropriately broken by occasional murky fog. The laughter, excitement and delight of 466 children from grades 3 to 7 murmured along the 4km of trails. This was the culmination of several weeks of physical education ski practice for hundreds of students that had been training with teachers and local, volunteer ski club members. The unique event, organized by local skiers, is intended to encourage skiing as a healthy, outdoor and lifelong experience. The atmosphere of fun, participation and camaraderie was exemplified by the multiage and multi-generational

Would you like your pet to relax in a home environment while you are away? Whether visiting your home, or taking care of your dog right in our own home, Cozy Critter Care has you covered. We also offer dog walking, pet taxi and pet waste removal needs. Cozy Critter Care is licensed and insured for your peace of mind. We’ve owned lots of furry buddies of our own, worked at a vet’s and volunteered for the SPCA. Dogs staying right in our own home enjoy going for forest walks out our back gate, or just taking it easy in our backyard or home. They literally become members of our family. Your pets that would rather stay in their own environment appreciate our drop-in visits to your home. We check your house, too. Unfortunately, we cannot stay overnight in your home or look after any animal with a hoof (sorry, no experience there!). We can walk your dog or clean up your yard so you can do other things. One-time, scheduled or last minute walks are also available. No matter what your pet’s needs are, Cozy Critter’s focus is on individual care, love and attention.
