No Ashcroft Tourist Booth this year “This is not as easy as we thought it would be,” said Ashcroft Mayor Jack Jeyes as Council reviewed the proposed move of the tourist booth at the June 22 Ashcroft Council meeting. Council was hoping that it would be a simple matter to move the small structure from its current location by the car wash to Heritage Place Park, but councillors quickly discovered there are many questions that first need answers. Such as whose building is it and who is going to pay for the move? For this year, tourists will be directed to the Museum which will have some tourist guides and pamphlets for them. Staff pointed out the booth was built by a local businessman and placed on his property for the Chamber of Commerce. This was never put into writing. Administrator Michelle Allen noted that the area has become overgrown with weeds, but the Village cannot spray for weeds on private property. She asked Council to authorize removing the signs on the booth. The electricity will also have to be disconnected before it can be moved, but if the utility is in businessman Al Alberts’ name, he will have to be the one to authorize the disconnection. He no longer lives in the area. Council adopted staff recommendations that Alberts be contacted and requested to provide a letter confirming that the Chamber of Commerce is the building’s owner; that the Village and Chamber discuss moving costs and long term operation and maintenance; and that Museum staff be requested to obtain and display additional tourist information as their time and space allows for 2015 season. Council was hopeful that the booth could be relocated and operational for the 2016 season. The property that it sits on is currently for sale.
A good day for a parade The Ashcroft Rodeo Parade carried on without its rodeo this year, still delighting the crowd that came to watch and take part. The floats were awesome as usual. Especially the dragon!

June 18 at 420 am police were asked to assist the ambulance crew with a patient who was suffering from alcohol withdrawal. The patient was picked up near Walhachin and was initially unco-operative but finally agreed to be transported to Ashcroft hospital. Halfway there he demanded to be let out. His health seemed to have improved by then so they let the 31 year old Victoria man out in Cache Creek where he got a room at a motel. There was no further calls about him.

Sudden death
June 20 at 1 pm police attended a sudden death in the Sage N Sands trailer park after a 54 year old resident was found lifeless in his chair by his daughter who had come for a visit. It appears that the man died of a pre-existing medical condition. No foul play is suspected.
Complaint leads to hospital
June 20 at 8:30 pm police received a noise complaint and attended an apartment on Collins Rd. The officer pounded on the door for some time before it was answered. The 23 year old woman was told to turn the music off. An ambulance was called for a 28 year old male in the apartment who was unresponsive. He was awake by the time the ambulance arrived, but was delerious and confused, having consumed a drug cocktail mix with the woman earlier. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. No charges were laid.

flood claims so far
The B.C. government has already approved 24 claims and paid out $509,000 in Disaster Financial Assistance to residents of Cache Creek after a May 23 flash flood damaged property and forced the evacuation of several homes and businesses. To date, 63 applications for assistance have been received. Emergency Management BC is working to process the remaining applications as quickly as possible. Emergency Management BC’s Disaster Financial Assistance team of four evaluators have been supporting Cache Creek almost every day since the flood occurred. Disaster Financial Assistance is available to homeowners, residential tenants, small business owners, farmers, charitable organizations and local governments that were unable to obtain insurance to cover these disaster-related losses. Financial assistance is provided for each accepted claim at 80 per cent of the amount of total eligible damage that exceeds $1,000, to a maximum claim of $300,000. Applications for Disaster Financial Assistance for the Cache Creek flood must be submitted by Aug. 24. The DFA application form can be accessed through the Emergency Management BC website at www.embc.gov.bc.ca/em/ dfa_claims/dfa.html. The flooding was caused by an estimated 30 to 40 millimetres of rain that fell on Cache Creek in less than one hour.

Group formed to distribute donations Cache Creek is calling for names to form a committee that will disperse the donations collected over the past month for residents affected by the May 23 flood. As of June 23, just over $131,000 had been collected, and donations were still coming in. The idea is to go out ad solicit names for the committee, Coun. Wyatt McMurray told Council at the June 22 Council meeting. “We already have some names brought forward,” he said. “For the sake of transparency, we should make a public announcement that we are doing this,” said Coun. David Dubois. McMurray said they would post the information on the Village website, www.cachecreekvillage.com , on Facebook pages and on the reader board outside the community hall. “We don’t want to spend money to advertise it because we’d be taking money out of the fund,” he said. Dubois asked if there was a list of criteria for serving on the committee to possibly avoid having members who were also applying for money. “Council can decide that when it comes to the appointments,” said Mayor John Ranta. “We have all these people with needs, and we have to get the money out to them” said McMurray. He said the bulk of the donations will have been substantially collected by first week of July – after the July 3/4 CacheAid fundraiser organized by the Village (www.cacheaid.com) so it’s time to get ready to distribute it. McMurray asked that a special meeting of Council be called for July 14 to review the list those interested in sitting on the committee and to appoint members. Anyone interesting in sitting on the committee can talk to councillors Wyatt McMurray or Lisa Dafoe or can leave their name and number at the Cache Creek Village Office. Donations are still being taken at the Village Office or online at www.cachecreekvillage.com

Disaster won’t affect long term real estate market by Barbara Roden While local realtors acknowledge that property sales and prices in Cache Creek will be affected in the short term following last month’s flooding, they agree that both will recover
in time. Kelly Adamski of ReMax Golden Country Real Estate and Hedda Hall of Royal LePage Ashcroft Realty feel that prospective buyers in Cache Creek will be sceptical about some
properties in the areas that were hardest hit. However, the progress of the clean-up, as well as measures taken to cope with future flooding, will go a long way to reassuring buyers. “Most people realise this was a once in two hundred years event,” said Adamski. “The market in Cache Creek in a general sense is still fine. And time heals everything.” Hall agrees, saying buyers will understand that the storm which caused May’s flooding was a freak event. “People have short memories,” she added, but said that homeowners can help by being pro-active and ensuring that properties The 347 RCSCC Avenger held its 12th Annual Ceremonial Review on June 13 at the Ashcroft high are cleaned up school.

things happening, and problems being rectified, they’ll be reassured.” Adamski said that properties that were untouched and had no issues should not be affected, but that areas which sustained heavy damage might be slow to recover. More effective drainage measures would make people more confident about those areas, he said. “Until something is put in place to protect the safety of those houses, they’ll be seen as riskier.” Hall said that the sale of one house that had slight water damage, which was in progress before the flooding, was firmed up by the buyer afterward. “The owners are applying for relief funding, and the buyer feels confident,” she said. As realtors they have a responsibility to make potential buyers aware of issues in the area, said Adamski, with Hall adding that homeowners should let buyers know if the house was untouched or what the extent of any damage was. “I feel sorry for those who were affected,” she says, “but people are out there doing what needs to be done.”

Looking forward to backyard R&R In her Past, Present & Beyond column last week, Barbara Roden promised to tell us about a plethora of “Staycation-worthy sites” in our own backyard. I love staycations. I go on holidays to relax, not to prepare for huge “trips of a lifetime”! Whenever I tell someone that I’m going on holidays soon, their response is “Where are you going?” Whenever I hear this, I’m always reminded of the opening pages of John Steinbeck’s ageless masterpiece, The Grapes of Wrath where the waitress in a diner is watching the constant stream of cars and trucks heading west, and wonders why. Was it the Depression that turned us all into transients of a sort, or is it modern affluence and the steady diet of television that makes us want to go on lavish vacations? When I was a kid, summer vacation was for exploring my neighbourhood, its playgrounds and empty fields; for hanging out with my cousins and riding our bikes. With any luck, we’d hop into the old Newport and head off to visit relatives in other parts of the province, where we would have something new to explore. That what holidays were. And still are. They’re for doing things you don’t always have time for while you’re working. Like pulling weeds. Cleaning the house... I’m sure that Tool Man and I will manage to fit in at least a couple of “day trips” in the next few weeks while I’m on holidays. Every year I swear I’m going to visit Chasm Provincial Park on my holidays, but I’ve yet to do it. Maybe this year. It’s always fun when you discover something you never knew was there before. We are surrounded in this area by all sorts of little surprises - things I would never have imagined when I was growing up in the city, checking out the local crayfish pond or inspecting the overgrown footings of some building torn down ages ago. I would much rather spend my money at the local festivals and markets, being with friends and enjoying the local flavours. That said, it’s time for my holidays. You’ll see me around town, but Barbara Roden will be filling in for the next few weeks here. I’ll be back July 29.

Community ignored in new school name Dear Editor As we approach the end of another school year it’s hard not to already think ahead to September with the upcoming relocation of Ashcroft Elementary as it moves over to Ashcroft Secondary School. Yes, our two schools will become one. A decision I was, as I know a lot of other parents were, not on board with when the announcement was made. Over time I have accepted and embraced this decision. It’s hard to be unhappy when your 6 year old comes home from school telling you how excited he is about going to a new school with a new, bigger and better classroom in the Fall. The new opportunities for the younger students will be endless in my opinion. Now this brings me to the renaming of the new school. The school board has chosen Desert Sands Community School. This was done online through the school district website and social media. Anyone lucky enough to see this was asked to submit a name. The top names were then listed for everyone to vote on. I have to admit that when I tried
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR thinking of a new school name I had a tough time. I kept going to a significant name in the history of Ashcroft or to someone who made major contributions to the Ashcroft schools. As I thought, I kept going back to something with the name Ashcroft included in it. It only made sense. In the end I did not make a submission, hoping that there would be some pretty good names to choose from. When I saw the list that we were given by the school board I was very disappointed. Out of the five listed not one had used Ashcroft in the name. I along with many others on social media were not happy. A sixth choice of Ashcroft Community was then added which ended up being the over-

whelming winner. The board did state that they would consider one of the top three. So Desert Sands Community School it is. Over the last two weeks anyone that I have talked to about the name Desert Sands has not associated it with a school but something else instead. With all due respect to the person who submitted this name, I am sorry but personally I don’t see where the name fits in with our community. To me, along with many others a school name should represent the community it is located in. The argument to that seems to be that there are many students of other areas that will be attending the new school. Maybe so

Two Great Shows at The Packing House in Spences Bridge
The Packing House will present two great Dinner and Show evenings in the month of July. The first is Sean Ashby on Sat., July 4.
Chances are, if you’ve had a radio on today, you’ve heard him. As one of North America’s go-to guitar players, Sean has played and recorded with Sarah McLachlan, Delerium, Wild Strawberries, Ginger (former Grapes Of Wrath) and many more. The Packing House will also be presenting a Dinner and Show on Thurs., July 23 with Romi Mayes. If you haven’t heard her music yet, it’s time you do. Mayes is one of the hardest working independent musicians touring the globe. Devil On Both Shoulders, her sixth release, is another testament to why Mayes’ past albums have garnered three Western Canadian Music Awards for Songwriter of the Year, two Western Canadian Music Awards for Album of The Year, a Juno nomination for Album of the Year, and various Canadian Music Award nominations. Mayes is known for her powerful lyrical ability that gives life to the words she sings. Her insightful sweet and edgy vocals paint pictures of heart on her sleeve sincerity and a road well travelled. The talented players that surround her are another confirmation of how her honest abilities draw the best of the best toward her authentic brand of roots music. To reserve your tickets for the Dinner and Show or just the Show, call the Packing House at (250) 458-2256.

school district then the naming of a school and you may be right but to me this is important. Having said that I am asking that school board revisit the naming of the school. If it is going to be a community school I think that community members should all be given the opportunity in naming something that is going to be with us for a very long time. Tyrone Laskey Ashcroft
Petition protesting name change delivered Dear Editor I agree, whole-heartedly, with the view expressed by Mike Baldwin in his letter to last week’s paper. Ashcroft has surrendered one of its schools, much to the regret of the community; and now, on the whim of seven (elected) trustees, it is being told that it is surrendering its identity. That is not acceptable. On Monday, June 22, Trish Lambert and I delivered a petition signed by more than 600 people to the School District office, asking the (elected) Board to re-visit the re-naming of the Ashcroft school. The process behind the original decision was totally inadequate (one of the school secretaries was not even aware of a drop-box for votes/suggestions). I recall in my term as trustee for the Village of Ashcroft, raising the question of a name for the ‘new’ school, when the initial closure was discussed. For it to be presented, for decision within a couple of weeks, is, it seems to me, arrogant at best. Our Ashcroft school deserves its heritage. Let’s make sure we ensure that its heritage continues.

Fifth annual Desert Daze is coming together What a difference a day makes! Last week pushing 40 degrees one day, feeling very summer like – then here comes the rain again with plummeting temps for the weekend! The cool wet weather was a good thing for our neighbours in Lytton and the fire there. The fruit and veggies will be coming in fast now at the Farmer’s & Flea Market. Fresh local cherries, greens, garlic snapes, and soon apricots will be available. We hear phrases like buy local, eat local, 100 mile diet, and there really are so many benefits; you are supporting our local farmers and community, and you are lessening your carbon footprint buy not buying food that has traveled many kilometres, and you are consuming far fewer preservatives and additives! Support all our local markets! If that isn’t enough to convince you, there are many treasures to be found as folks are selling all sorts of goodies; “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. Then there are the artists - from jewellery to quilts, it’s never too soon to start your Christmas shopping! See you Sunday from 10 -2 at Clemes Hall. If you’d like to book a table (in our air conditioned hall) please call Kathleen @ 4458-2489.

Diabetes ... do you have it? Part 1 of 3 Chances are fairly good that you, or someone you know, have Diabetes – 1.5 million Canadians have been diagnosed with this difficult disease! About 200,000 British Columbians are afflicted with the disease and according to the B.C. Ministry of Health Services, in the next 10 years 325,000 British Columbians will have the disease. Even more staggering is that one in three British Columbians suffering from Diabetes are not even aware that they have the disease. Many people have had Diabetes for up to seven years before they are even diagnosed. What is truly troubling are the complications that have developed, and gone untreated. Let’s take a look at what happened to Frank and Darlene, both Diabetics… (Excerpts from The Canadian Association of Wound Care; www.cawc.net) Frank.... I had no idea that so many different foot wounds could occur. I felt that my “blister” was the sum total of what could go wrong with feet. But I soon found out that I was very uneducated about foot problems that could occur without proper foot care. My experience was with a blister under my big toe when I went to the hospital for a stress test and forgot to bring the proper footwear. I was wearing hiking boots but the test administrator wanted gym shoes or stocking feet only. The treadmill was quite rough and I ended up with a blister which I did not notice until later that night. I put a bandage on it after a shower, and by the next morning I had a smelly “Staph” infection. I went to the emergency clinic, and they referred me to the hospital emergency room where they began massive doses of antibiotics - both oral and intravenous. I had to be seen by a microbiologist, who thought he could save my foot, but he was not sure about my toe. I had to report to the hospital daily for twenty-eight days for an extra dose of antibiotics through my catheter, and they managed to save my foot and my toe. This was a “Wake-up call” and I finally began to understand what all the fuss was about when the doctors stressed foot care for Diabetics. Darlene... Upon awaking one morning, I noticed my one foot was swollen and quite pink. I went to my doctor, and he suggested it was arthritis. I was given inflammatory medication. When that didn’t help, further investigations showed it was Charcot (pronounced sharko) foot. Charcot foot causes the bones to change in the feet, and some deformity, which can cause ulcers. Charcot foot was not well known in the medical profession at that time. When I saw a doctor on call, she had never heard of it. If the problem was diagnosed sooner, I would have been in a non weight bearing cast for awhile. Currently, I am wearing healing sandals, and the ulcer has healed. I cannot express how important it is to get help immediately when any changes occur with your feet. It can worsen within minutes if not attended to.

Looking for vegetables Communities in Bloom is on the lookout for Ashcroft resident’s who may have a vegetable garden to be proud of. As many vegetable gardens are located in people’s back yards they are not visible, and as such, go unnoticed. We know there are many great gardeners in Ashcroft and we could use a little help in finding out who may have a vegetable garden they are proud of. This is where you can help. Scotts, in conjunction with Communities in Bloom, annually awards prizes for residential flower gardens and residential vegetable gardens. Ashcroft Communities in Bloom are proud of our community gardeners and would love to enter one of our resident’s vegetable gardens into the contest. If you have a vegetable garden you would like us to consider or you know of someone who has a vegetable garden but is too shy to tell us, please contact Andrea Walker at 250 453 9402. Ashcroft Communities in Bloom were selected once again to participate in the Scotts Miracle Gro Best Garden Selection program. CiB members will be touring Ashcroft and will choose 10 local residents honoring them for lovely yards. Those select-
ed will receive a sign to proudly display in their yard and gardening products from Scotts. CiB will then choose one of the 10 to enter into the Scotts residential flower garden contest. The judges for this year’s program will arrive on July 23 and will be judging Ashcroft on July 24th. Remember, Communities in Bloom is about making your community “bloom” and involves being judged in several different categories.

Songs of summer
Years ago I shared my regrets of not learning a musical instrument and encouraged my kids to take lessons. They were both keen on the idea and I recommended the guitar because of its portable versatility. One of my friends who was with us at the time said I should put them in piano because it would give them a broader knowledge of music, helping them learn other instruments. “Maybe,” I said having no idea if that were true. “But you can’t play a piano in the park.” Little did I know that five of them would be showing up in Kelowna parks one day. The first evidence I saw of this was in a recent video posted on Facebook in which my talented friend James Elser was playing one of the custom painted uprights in front of City Park and singing Paul Simon’s “Love Me Like a Rock” as people gathered around. Halfway through the five minute video a bystander spontaneously sits down beside him
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com and starts playing one handed, eventually singing as well. That young stranger turns out to be Eric Disero, a gifted musician from Wild Son, a popular Kelowna band. The man filming them was Andrew Barton, the videographer friend of James who had just told him about the Pianos in Parks program. Since James was eager to play one, and Andrew had new film equipment he wanted to try, they decided to film a performance on the spur of the moment. As soon as the video was posted to Facebook it started getting shared and within five days it had been viewed over 29,000 times. Since then James has played the other four pianos that are located
across from City Hall, behind the courthouse, near “The Spirit of Sail” fountain and by the Rotary Centre of the Arts. “There is something deeply rewarding and ethereal that feeds the soul when you play for the community,” James said. “Like at seniors homes or for preschool children. I love playing for kids because they just dance, and sing and are in the moment. Like the song I did with Eric – I just enjoyed being in the moment.” Of course James isn’t opposed to getting paid for his music and providing for his family either. He’s been playing clubs, lounges and events for years and enjoys every chance he gets to do what he loves.
He didn’t start off with those feelings though. At the age of 13 his mother put him in piano lessons and forced him to learn. He hated it for about a year until his eighth grade art teacher played the movie “Ragtime” and showed him how much fun it could be. “Brian encouraged me to learn songs I liked,” he said. “The theme to Hill Street Blues was my first ‘real’ song.” As an adult he took a lengthy hiatus from music until he met some members of a band called the Rusty Nails. Andrew Barton was one of the original members. “They’re from all walks of life, they’re not professional musicians,” James said. “ It’s an amazing group of people that love to play music, laugh and be together. If it wasn’t for their encouragement and love, I wouldn’t be playing today. I am forever in their debt for showing me how to have fun and enjoy music again. And that’s what I want to do for others - share

There’s much to keep you busy, but make sure you don’t overdo things. Avoid the urge to stretch yourself too thin.

It seems you have everything all together, and others may seek out your advice. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, when your imagination is stimulated, there’s nothing you cannot accomplish. This may be an interesting week for you, as restless energy has you seeking an outlet. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may need to look at a problem from another perspective to find the best solution. Discuss your findings with others and see if they have any suggestions. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Take things easy and let your intuition work for you, Aquarius. Financial or business-related projects fall in your lap, and you work through them quite easily. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Emotions reach a high after hearing good news this week, Pisces. It’s okay to let your guard down a bit around your loved ones.
the fun of music.” The pianos placed around Kelowna inviting anyone and everyone to play for free inspires that sentiment as well. “There’s so much talent in the valley,” James said. “And Kelowna has such a diverse offering of venues for musicians to express their art.” He believes the Pianos in Parks summer program has reminded people how amazing music is and that it needs to be shared, developed and supported, not just bottled up and sold. “I applaud all the people that got behind this and made it happen,” he said. “They along with the people at KeyStone Music, Disney Interactive, City of Kelowna
and Festivals Kelowna have done a great thing for our city.” And while this refreshing concept may be new to us, public piano programs such as this exist in many cities around the world - and the free spirited trend is growing. “The music community is getting stronger,” James said. “ And people can help reinforce it by listening and giving support. Some musicians just want to be listened to and others need to get paid because it’s their livelihood. Either way they need an audience and the opportunities to play.” And James will be doing just that when he performs again this year at Westside Daze
on Sunday, June 28 at 7pm behind the Johnson Bentley Pool in West Kelowna where so many talented musicians and performers will be taking the stage. My kids will not be among them since their interests shifted completely away from music and landed squarely on sports. But that doesn’t mean they won’t play chopsticks on one of those funky pianos as soon as they see one. And they, like me, will enjoy the musical abilities of those wanting to share.

UCW plans a bakeless bake sale this summer Our last meeting before a break for summer was held Tuesday, June 2 in Zion United Church all. Eight ladies attended. We were warmly welcomed by president Reta Robertson. We repeated the UCW prayer together. Joyce Freeman led the Devotional taken from Program Ready by Dorothy MacNeill. She began with a prayer. The scripture was John 14:15-24. The Holy Spirit is with us to guide and direct our lives, to help us to make the right decisions and choices. Listen to the Holy Spirit within you. Joyce closed with a prayer. The agenda was circulated and accepted. Old Business was next and because the UCW will be leading the worship service on June 14, we were assigned our parts. Several pieces of correspondence were dealt with as follows: More information about the BC UCW conference that Jacklin Desrosiers reported on at our May meeting was read from the missionary Carmen Salacsacan about her work and a notice

McMurray, Clayton Bernard “Uncle Louie”
Passed away suddenly in his home on Saturday, June 20, 2015 at the age of 54 years. Louie is survived by his loving wife Darlene, daughter Christina, and step children JR, Fred, Patrick, Angel, Marisa, Rassy, Raymond, and Rudie. He is also survived by his siblings Estelle and Wyatt, mother in law Gloria, brother in law Hank, three sister in laws, his step brother Cameron and nine other step siblings, as well as numerous grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by both his parents and his step parents. Louie was a longtime resident of the area, having moved here as a child in 1968. He worked over the years as a tow truck driver, as well as managing the Chevron stations in Cache Creek. He was a likable man with a very quick wit who always seemed to have a “one liner” ready to go. He was quick to smile and never one to complain about anything. He had a deep love of music, spending time with his family, driving tow truck, and in the quiet times enjoyed watching hockey with a good Bud Lite beer. Visitation will be held from the family residence from 5-8 pm on Thursday, June 25th with Funeral Services at the Cache Creek Community Hall at 11:00 am on Friday, June 26th. Cremation to follow the services. Donations in Louie’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, or the BC Lung Association. Online condolence book can be found at vvwvv.tvfh.ca

Fun and games never stop ROCKIN’ & TALKIN’ Clinton Seniors Association Zee Chevalier Canada Day, July 1, is a federal statutory holiday, significant because it celebrates the anniversary of the enactment of the British North America Act, 1867, today called the Constitution Act, 1867 which united three colonies (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the province of Canada which ultimately became divided in the process, to be known as Ontario and Quebec) into a single country called Canada within the British Empire. Originally called Dominion Day, the holiday was renamed in 1982, the year the Canada Act was passed. Canada Day observances take place throughout the country as well among Canadians internationally. In Clinton, Canada Day celebrations will be held in Reg Conn Park beginning at 11 am. That same day the Clinton Seniors Association will hold their annual Yard sale from 10 am until 2 pm at the Clinton Seniors Centre 217 Smith Ave. Your support at this Association fund raising is always appreciated. July’s “flavour of the month” is HAVE FUN! We are born with a complete understanding of fun which seems to fade over time. You sometimes hear “Children have all the fun.” It doesn’t have to be that way. Life without fun and games isn’t just dull, it’s downright unhealthy. Research by Careen Yarnal, PhD, an associate professor of recreation, park, and tourism management at Penn State University has clearly shown “that when
women get out there and play, the benefits are amazing. [I would hope her observations applied to men as well.] They cope better with stress, which sets up protective mechanisms that contribute to health and well-being. And if they play with others, it creates bonding and they get the benefit of social support as well. Just as we know play is healthy for children, helping them blow off steam, learn, experiment, and make friends, we’re finding the same to be true for adults.” It’s also a good health habit. Japanese research found that spending as little as two hours a month laughing and listening to your favourite music has as big an impact on blood pressure as eliminating salty foods or even losing 10 pounds! If you want to have fun, you have to get into the right mindset and embrace every opportunity for a good time. If you’re relaxed and not afraid to be a little silly, then you can have fun almost everywhere. Finding a new hobby or activity is a great way to spice up your routine, pick up a new skill, and provide something to look forward to on a daily basis. Fight your negative thoughts. Replace them with more powerful positive thoughts. Stop obsessing over all of the little things that can go wrong. Avoid nagging or whining. You’ll be ruining your own fun and driving everyone away. Happy Birthday to Helene Cade on July 22. “To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent - that is to triumph over old age.” - Amos Bronson Alcott
