ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. CW15C41A

CAPRICORN Capricorn, when a past con ict pops up this week, push it aside. It is better to focus on the positive things that are in store for you rather than problems from the past.

AQUARIUSDon’t let anyone tell you that you can’t accomplish something, Aquarius. As you have proven time and again, you simply need to set a goal in your sights to get things done.

PISCESPisces, when you love someone, it can be dif cult to step aside and let that person make his or her own mistakes. Be patient.

ARIES Aries, you are familiar with the expression, “Your eyes are bigger than your stomach.” This week you have bitten off a project that is just too much to chew. Enlist some help.

TAURUSTaurus, you are on a roll, and now it is only a matter of maintaining momentum for a few more days. Don’t let anyone slow you down this week.

GEMINI Gemini, you may not know where your path is taking you, but you are fully aware that an adventure is in store. Take some time to prepare for the unknown that lies ahead.

CANCERLearning from your mistakes can help you to grow, Cancer. Accept a challenge presented to you this week, even if it scares you. You may nd it’s not so challenging after all.

LEO Leo, many opportunities are within reach, but you are just not sure which way to go. Seek advice from Pisces when you get a spare moment.

VIRGO Virgo, no one will know what you’re like deep inside unless you share a few secrets. You don’t have to give everything away, but let some information slip out.

LIBRA Some can see straight past your protective facade, Libra. So why not take it off and simply let others see the real you? You won’t be disappointed, and neither will they.

SCORPIONow is not a time to drag your feet, Scorpio. You have a full slate of tasks to tackle, and it seems like the hours will slip away quickly. Recharge and refocus.

SAGITTARIUS Sagittarius, you never shy away from a challenge, but you also know when to pick your battles. If something arises this week that seems a waste of time, pass it by.

Have you been a good boy?

With the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s recent approval of a new service to support the Shuswap Watershed Council (SWC), there are now three organizations pro-viding long-term funding to the SWC thereby enabling it to begin implementing its programs.

At their most recent meeting on November 25th, the SWC authorized its program manag-ers, housed within the non-profit Fraser Basin Council, to update the five-year program that was approved in May 2015 and begin imple-menting its programs for water quality and recreation safety education in January 2016.

“The Shuswap Watershed Council has the unique mandate of bringing together different agencies across four orders of government to build relationships, share information and dis-cuss issues. Without the SWC, this coordina-tion and sharing would not occur and we would not have the opportunity to eliminate waste and duplication,” says Paul Demenok, Shuswap Watershed Council Chair and CSRD Area ‘C’ Director. “In effect, the SWC is an important advocate for all residents of the Shuswap who are interested in seeing our watershed’s water quality maintained or improved.”

“The Shuswap Watershed Council is an action group, not a regulatory body,” says SWC program manager Erin Vieira. “It has a water quality program with two initiatives. One of the initiatives relates to water quality monitoring: coordinating monitoring across the watershed, supplementing agencies’ monitoring programs

Watershed council plans new programswhere necessary to ensure the whole watershed is monitored; and reporting on water quality results, among other activities. There is also a water protection initiative that is focussed on better understanding phosphorus pollution in the watershed and undertaking actions to reduce it.”

The five-year program is posted online at www.shuswapwater.ca. The document describes all of the SWC’s activities, including its water quality program, its recreation safety education program, communications and administration. The cost and timeline for each of those activi-ties is included in the plan. The average annual cost for the programs will be about $200,000; this will leverage other cash and in-kind contri-butions.

The SWC is a collaborative group of 16 members representing local governments, first nations, provincial agencies, and the public-at-large. The financial contribution from the CSRD is in addition to financial commitments by the City of Salmon Arm and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.

By Tom Fletcher, Black PressB.C. Liberal Party executive director Laura

Miller has resigned and returned to Ontario to face criminal charges stemming from deletion of government email records belonging to the Ontario government.

Miller was deputy chief of staff to former Ontario Liberal premier Dalton McGuinty in 2013. She and former chief of staff David Livingstone have been charged with one count each of breach of trust, mischief in relation to data and “misuse of a computer system to commit the offence of mischief,” the Ontario Provincial Police said in a statement earlier this month.

The charges relate to email records that were sought by opposition parties after the Ontario government abruptly cancelled two planned gas-fired power plants that were facing strong local opposition. Miller and Livingstone were accused of bringing in Miller’s partner, computer techni-cian Peter Faist, to erase hard drives in McGuinty’s office that contained the records.

Miller left the Ontario government when McGuinty retired and came to B.C. to work for the B.C. Liberal Party.

Miller posted a statement on her Twitter account saying she has retained lawyer Clayton Ruby to defend her. She said the charges come after she filed a complaint against two OPP officers over their investigation into the handling of the gas plant documents investigation.

BC Liberal staffer quits

The BC SPCA is encouraging British Columbians to voice their opinion on proposed changes that will remove the limit on how many wolves hunters can kill in the Peace Region and triple the number of grizzly bears that can be killed in the same area.

B.C.’s Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations wants to remove any closed season for wolf hunting and remove the former bag limit of three per year, and triple the number of grizzlies that can be killed in the Peace Region from 50 to 150. The public has until Dec. 31 to provide feedback online about the pro-posed changes.

“B.C.’s wildlife is not just a resource for hunt-ers and trappers to use – B.C.’s wildlife belongs to all British Columbians, and it’s their tax dol-lars that fund these policies,” says BC SPCA chief scientific officer Dr. Sara Dubois. “Many conservation and animal welfare scientists dis-agree with the ministry’s guesstimate on bear and wolf populations – plus the killing of these animals is not for sustenance, it amounts to tro-phy hunting only.”

It is important for people to make their opin-ions on the proposed policy changes known, and not just on social media, Dubois says. For actual policy consideration, members of the public need to register their opinion in the official pro-cess by registering and posting comments within the survey, which is easy to do.

“We know it’s a busy time of year, but we’re hoping people will take a few minutes to review the proposed changes and let the government know how they feel about them.”

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Earlier this year there were a number of reports by investigative journalists who researched commonly- known supplements to see if their labels agreed with the actual c o n t e n t s . Unfortunately, a num-ber of store-bought brands did not contain the advertised amounts of supplements. In fact 5 of the 6 brands tested resulted in the research-ers not finding the claimed substance, or they contained some-thing other than what was claimed on the label. Some of the most common missing (or reduced) ingredients included echinacea,

ginseng, St. John’s wort, gingko biloba and more.

Another researcher, Dr. Steven Newmaster, from the University of Guelph, also found in 2013 a number of sup-plements that did not contain the ingredients advertised, or even worse, contained con-taminants that were not listed. Newmaster’s study found nearly 60% of the herbal products tested had unlabeled ingredients and 20% had contami-nants in the form of rice and wheat fillers.

While I do not agree with some in the media who extrapolated this information suggesting

COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

The holiday season is a wonderful time of year – a time for familiar faces and places, giving and celebration, but for thousands of kids in Canada the holidays are the worst time of year, accord-ing to counselling charity Kids Help Phone.

“Kids Help Phone hears the holiday stories that no one else hears,” says Sharon Wood, President and CEO of Kids Help Phone.

“Earlier this year, Stephen* reached out to Kids Help Phone because he was experiencing frequent physical and emotional violence at the hands of his father. He was scared all the time, and by talking to our counsellors he came to understand that while his feelings were normal, his situation was not.

Kids’ problems don’t take holidays“After exploring his personal options, Stephen

made the difficult decision to call Child Protection Services with our support. These hol-idays, Stephen is beginning new traditions with a foster family, but he still needs our support during his first Christmas without his father.”

Situations like Stephen’s are all too common during the holidays. The charity receives a huge number of calls over the period – more than 500 calls daily – from kids who are in crisis or have nowhere else to turn.

“Not only do our overall call volumes increase during the holidays, but the severity of the issues we encounter also increases, with suicide and self-harm, physical and emotional abuse and social isolation becoming more prevalent,” she says.

“We hear with greater frequency from kids aged 12 – 16 as they depart school – an often safe, structured environment – and disturb their routine, increase their exposure to dysfunctional family environments and temporarily lose peer support networks.”

Six in ten Canadians will make a donation this holiday season, giving over $5bn dollars to sup-port critical charities like Kids Help Phone.

“Kids Help Phone receives very little funding from the government, relying almost entirely on the generosity of everyday Canadians to employ 100 professional counsellors who are available 24/7/365,” she says.

“We’re asking Canadians to dig deep this hol-iday season so we can support kids when they need us the most.”

Kids Help Phone is a charity that provides counselling and referrals in both official lan-guages as the only national helpline for young people. Since 1989, Kids Help Phone has offered kids and teens hope and support through its con-fidential and anonymous service. As an organi-zation that speaks with young people every day, Kids Help Phone works to share their perspec-tives and improve their emotional health and well-being. Kids Help Phone raises the majority of its revenue from individuals, foundations, corporations, and community fundraising.

Canadians are wasting their money taking supplements, I do sug-gest only taking sup-plements that are pro-duced by reputable North American com-panies. This research confirms that in the realm of vitamins, min-erals, and supplements; you get what you pay for, and cheaper is defi-nitely not better.

It is for the above reasons that I thor-oughly researched a number of supplement brands before deciding which ones to sell in my office. The compa-nies I trust are Thorne and Seroyal/Genestra. They are not the cheap-est supplements on the market, but I have con-fidence with their tight-ly-controlled manufac-turing practices and their investment into ongoing research and quality control. Some of the essential supple-ments we stock are Omega 3 fatty acids, Vitamin D3, curcumin, probiotics, and mix-tures to support joint health. More specific or unique products can also be special ordered.

If you’ve heard of frankin-cense and myrrh, it’s probably thanks to the biblical account of the birth of Jesus.

“And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their trea-sures, they presented unto him gifts; gold and frankincense, and myrrh” (Matthew 2:11).

A precious as well as a very practical gift, if you examine the many benefits that Eastern cultures have experi-enced for over 5000 years. Frankincense has been used to support the immune system and fight infection. We also know that this oil reduc-es inflammation, decreases anxiety, enhances spiritual awareness, and has skin healing properties. More recently, some drug companies have been studying specific preparations of frankincense to determine efficacy in the treatment of Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, osteoarthritis and asth-ma. For those of you that grew up in the Roman Catholic church, it was (and still is) burned frankincense that fills

the air at the beginning of the service, s y m b o l i z i n g that the prayers will rise to heaven with the smoke. Today, many find that a few drops of frankincense in a diffuser will help calm their thoughts and help their focus during times of meditation and prayer. Both frankincense and myrrh (pictured) are harvested resins produced by trees that grow in desert regions. The

combination of these two oils have been shown extremely promising in healing skin and breast cancers. It has been sug-gested by some historians that the gold presented by the Magi was in fact turmeric powder–yet another spice from the far East that is so effective in

boosting our immune system. Either way, gold or turmeric, Mary and Joseph with baby Jesus would have benefitted from these precious gifts on their flight to Egypt to escape the murderous king Herod.

Here are some practical uses for frankincense for the holi-days.

• Stress relieving bath-soak.

• A few drops of oil in a diffuser to eliminate bacteria and viruses from your home.

• Anti-aging cream. Mix a few drops with your moistur-izer.

• Relief from indigestion and gastrointestinal discom-fort. Add a few drops to a glass of water.

• Mix several drops with oil and massage into sore muscles and joints. If by chance you have time

on your hands... the following recipe sounds heavenly even though you will have to add quite a few of the ingredients to your shopping list and make an extra stop at your favourite health food store.

TOUR NEW RETIREMENT RESORT WITH YOUR FAMILYAndover Terrace is Salmon Arm’s newest retirement

residence that opened November 14. It is located at 2110 Lakeshore Rd. NE, in what we call uptown. To get there, take Lakeshore Rd. from downtown, and follow along the CPR tracks until you leave them, go uphill, and then turn left. You’ll see the beautiful new facility. Ask about the new promotional pricing.

Another way to get there is to go up the highway till you see the RCMP detachment on the left. Take 21st St. to the right and find your way under the highway. At the four-way stop, go through and you’ll be on 21st St. NE. At the stop sign, turn left and you will see the building on your right. If you are lost, call Andover at 844-263-0002.

DELICIOUS POPPY SEED ROLL AVAILABLE HEREI bought a poppy seed roll at the Ukrainian festival in

Andrew, Alberta, in August. It was so good, I said I wished we could buy it in BC. The Edmonton vendor said he got the recipe from a man in Kelowna, and he delivers the rolls to Salmon Arm. DeMille’s is one place that sells them.

Two months ago I went to the bakery at the back of DeMille’s Produce and asked about the poppy seed rolls. I was told the Kelowna man had just delivered a box. I caught up with him before he left the store, and learned he owns Oma’s Strudels in Kelowna and he taught the Edmonton man how to make them. Some rolls have poppy seed filling and some have walnut. Delicious!

At www.omasstrudels.com I saw all the places in BC that sell the rolls. In Salmon Arm, they are available at DeMille’s Produce and Windmill Meats. Each weighs 600 grams and costs under $8.

BULK CHRISTMAS CHOCOLATESAskew’s downtown displays boxes of bulk Christmas

chocolates by Foley’s. They taste like Nielson’s. $1.68 per 100 grams. Last year the store ran out of chocolate rosebuds, my favourite.

PRINTED POLYESTER AVAILABLE IN SALMON ARMBrushstrokes Signs & Awnings can print on polyester.

The products that can be produced are street banners, large flags, ordinary flags, SOLD signs in stands, feather flags in single or double-sided. It offers sewing and stands in the store. It has been operating in the Shuswap since 1988. Owner/operator Tom Marsh and his team of dedicated staff have over 50 years of combined sign industry experience. www.brushstrokesigns.ca. 250-832-7714.

Brushstrokes was featured in a major international sign trade magazine from Florida: SignCraft. Local photogra-pher Victoria Skofteby took photos of the shop for the article that appeared in the recent issue. The editor liked them so much he is doing another article next year on the shop layout and organization. The four staff are very tick-led and proud to be recognized by their peers. Read the article at www.signcraft.com/articles/2015/11/tom-marsh.

PRINT SHOPS HAVE FANCY NEW PRINTERSWhen I was in Hucul Printing recently about printing

on canvas, I asked Bernie what that LONG machine is that spans his reception room. I had Shoppers’ Guide Quick Printing in the 1980s but it was nothing like his. It

had a black and white photocopier and an AB Dick 360 press.

He said it’s a digital printer. Every print shop in town has similar machines but they are separated.

CARLIN HALL WAS PACKED FOR FACES CONCERT & DESSERT EVENING

Upon arrival at Carlin Hall for the FACES Concert, I was pleased to see the hall packed to the rafters! I paid my $10 but was told it was $7 so I got $3 back. I had reserved a seat and it was conveniently pointed out to me. With dessert ticket in hand, I chose a piece of candy cane pie, onto which I put a spoonful of strawberry topping. The ladies of the Carlin Hall had provided the food and what an assortment of delicious desserts they’d prepared! With my dessert and coffee, I returned to my seat, colour-fully adorned with the evening’s program, napkins and tablecloth.

As I ate my delicious pie, I kept thinking about the quality of entertainment upcoming together with the deli-cious dessert and coffee and the extra expenses that would have gone into the evening. I asked a young man at my table if he knew why the ticket was so affordable at $7 and not more at the $15 mark. It turned out that he was one of the parents and vice-president of the Arts Council for the South Shuswap. The Council acts as an umbrella organization for four organizations, FACES being one of them. The newly formed council also over-sees the Shuswap Lake Festival of the Arts Committee, the Music in the Bay Series and the South Shuswap Children’s Theatre Group.

The gentleman said that based on past experience at smaller events in the Shuswap, much of the public is wary of buying a ticket beyond the $10 price point if they aren’t familiar with what the event has to offer. Secondly, most of the attendees were family of the performers and knowing that they were already paying for their child’s lessons in music, dance and art and costumes for the eve-ning, this wasn’t the crowd to ‘hit up’ for extra fundrais-ing dollars. The Arts Council will be hosting a major fundraiser in September 2016 and that is when a more strategic and robust campaign will take place.

I had another function, a refugee fundraising dinner in Salmon Arm, so sadly I had to leave before the entertain-ment got underway. I left through the stairs to the lower level where the new renovation had taken place and saw the gorgeous dance, music and art rooms and wide open and comfortable foyer and gallery, now the home to the Arts Council for the South Shuswap. From what I hear, though, the evening’s entertainment was fabulous – a great mix of student and teacher offerings. The relaxed style of the show together with the cozy ambience of Carlin Hall made for a lovely evening for all.

If you care to sponsor children in the arts in dance, music, theatre or art, please contact the Arts Council for the South Shuswap at 250-515-3276. They also have a second intake for registration in January – check out their website atwww.shuswaparts.com for all schedules and pricing.

GIVE INPUT ON CANOE BEACH & KLAHANI PARKThe City of Salmon Arm is asking for input from its

residents on Canoe Beach Park and Klahani Park for its Official Community Plan and Parks & Recreation Master Plan. This is a great opportunity for Salmon Arm citizens to help set the direction for the ongoing development of these priority park areas by filling a survey. We all have a stake in this kind of development over the short, inter-mediate, and long terms; so I urge as many people as possible to take part. You can pick up a hard copy of the survey at City Hall or go through the website. Return it to the city by 4:00 p.m. on Jan. 8, 2016, or save paper by submitting it via the website. www.salmonarm.ca/index.aspx?nid=350

BARLEY STATION PUB STAFF HELPS CELEBRATE 100A friend of mine takes her elderly mother-in-law from

Bastion Place to Barley Station Pub quite frequently. On Dec. 10 the staff helped Vivian Lawrence celebrate her 100th birthday with a bouquet of balloons and table dec-orations and by inviting all the pub patrons to join them in singing Happy Birthday to this new centenarian. To top it off, a couple at a nearby table bought the celebrants their glasses of wine. Now surely, that’s one of the BIG benefits of living in a small city!

HELP WAS SOUGHT TO CLEAN ARMSTRONG HOUSEA refugee family coming to Armstrong will have a

five-bedroom home on a double lot next to the Baptist Church. On Dec 15 an appeal for help to clean the house at 9:30 the next morning was sent to 100 people who are on the newsletter email list, of which I am one. “It is in very good condition. It is not dirty, just a bit dusty. The walls, floors, bathrooms, kitchen and windows need to be cleaned. If you are able to help, just show up with a buck-et, rags, gloves and your favourite cleaning supplies.”

About two dozen people came to help, including four-year-old Jovie. By one o’clock they were finished clean-ing both floors and the basement where the washer and dryer are.

VANCOUVER HAS A CAT CAFÉ. WILL SALMON ARM?On December 14, a Cat Café was opened at Keefer and

Abbott Streets in Vancouver. It is the 7th in Canada. The SPCA delivers up to a dozen cats every Thursday, and customers can pat them and play with them. All are adoptable.

If a customer books an hour and orders something to eat or drink, the charge is $5. Without an order, the change is $8 to spend in the lounge in the next room. It was booked almost two weeks in advance. Two walk-ins are admitted every hour.

Catfé is part cafe, part foster home for adoptable rescue cats from the SPCA, and a gathering space for cat lovers. Google cat cafe Vancouver.

Friday, December 25, 2015 - Lakeshore News A7www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

It is time for the always-exciting Mall Arkey Christmas Contest! It’s the holi-days and you’ve proba-bly been sitting around and eating too much tur-key. What better way to wake up your brain than to sit down with friends and/or family and try to solve what some have deemed in the past an “unfair” puzzle? Who said anything about being fair!?

As always, there’s a $50 prize for the first person that shows up at the office with all the correct answers the week of January 4th, 2016.

This year’s puzzle is a word scramble format. Solve the follow-ing:

I’m not so sure smart cars are a positive way for us to travel into the future. Maybe it’s just me. Maybe my personality is a “no auto buddy” type and I’d better just stick to regular cars. You know, the ones with steering wheels, pedals and an engine? I remember some thirty years ago, my mother bought a Chrysler prod-uct that talked to you when driven. I would take her out to lunch and she wanted to drive that thing. Her sedan yammered on for the whole trip. Any radio music or conversation was con-tinually interrupted by automobile comments about mom’s driving habits. After a while you wanted to take a blow torch or a fire axe to the dashboard. I could have gone either way. I hated that car, except when it was parked, silent, in her driveway. Then, I just had an active dislike for it. Despite mom asking me to drive her car during our dinner outings, I never would and insisted that we use my car, which never said a word.

So now that the present is here, we can buy cars that watch traffic, brake or slow down on their own, look behind, complain if you are using too much gas, park the vehicle and/or tell you how to get to where you want to go and even, I think, where you have been. I am aware that there are people who prefer as much help driving and there are people who need as much

help as possible. And even though my own capabilities and faculties are fading a bit, I real-ly prefer to be the controlling operator, respon-sible for how my vehicle moves from A to B. I hope my attitude is not just a wish for the past, but, more the desire and ability to be proficient. When I think of my second car–a 1962 VW bug–there were, I believe, only seven controls, and three of them were the gas, brake and clutch pedals. The late-model, good quality vehicle I drive now is, well, it is something. Like the difference between a Ford Trimotor and a Boeing 767. But, it doesn’t talk! Last year I even stopped listening to the radio while driving. So, this is my point. I intend to be as responsible and careful a driver as I can, for as long as I can. And I’ll do my own parking, thank you.

Gerry Lavallee, Enderby

A8 Friday, December 25, 2015 - Lakeshore News www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

From the outside of the house you can see snowflakes and icicles adorning the windows, but it doesn’t prepare you for what’s inside. From the moment you step inside Katherine and Dwight Morgan’s home, you’re in a Christmas wonderland. Besides the eight Christmas trees, there are boughs and gar-lands circling and climbing everywhere, Santas in sleighs,

reindeer, and dolls dressed in such ornate Christmas attire that sometimes only their faces are showing. Everything is masterfully put together with attention to detail that shows inspiring artistry. Katherine made much of it herself with just about anything she has at hand: plastic pop bottles, drift-wood, pompoms, ribbons and fishing line.

They don’t decorate the out-side, but they did when they lived in Abbotsford.

“We had 10,000 lights out-side and 10,000 inside,” says Katherine laughing. “We had tour busses stopping and people going through our gardens.”

Katherine’s love of Christmas all started when her family moved to Mica Creek when she was seven years old.

“We were a large family of eight and we got skates. The people who ran the arena opened it up so my father could take us skating. We also entered a contest for snow sculpting and we won.”

Katherine’s father used his artistic talent to make Christmas fun for the children.

She remembers two years later when they moved to Revelstoke, her dad hung pictures of Santa and the reindeer along the clothesline. Katherine’s parents encouraged her artistic talent by buying her a set of charcoal pencils when she was little.

Eventually Katherine moved to the big city.

Times were tough for the single mom of a little boy. She wanted make a nice present for her son but had no money for materi-als. Ever resource-ful, she used her what she had at hand.

“I used shoe polish for my first painting,” she says laughing. [Years later, she tried to replace it with something ‘way better’ but her son wouldn’t give up his shoe-polish painting.]

Then she met Dwight and every-thing changed.

“We met in October. I set up the tree – it was a live tree and I killed it before Christmas. I forgot to water it. He looked at me and said, ‘Let’s go shopping.’”

“That’s when we got our first arti-ficial tree – it’s pretty hard to kill that,” says Dwight, laughing.

Katherine still has the first deco-ration they bought together. It has a place of honour behind glass so it doesn’t get broken. Every year they added to their Christmas collection. At one time they had 21 trees deco-rated inside the house.

“Each year I wanted to get anoth-er tree and he said ‘no’ and I said ‘yes.’ Then he would say, ‘If you have a place to put it – it’s okay.’ Every room had a tree in it, it was amazing. There was a tall narrow one at the doorway and one on the landing. One year we had a re-mod-ified tree – I wanted it upside down,” says Katherine. “It took him a whole day to do that. The one thing about it, is that the ornaments hang per-fectly.”

One year they set up a village in a tree with a moving toy train. For friends and family a visit to the Morgan house was part of the Christmas tradition.

“We also used to decorate the shed. Our friends’ grandson came over to look. He was about six years old. He was at the back window and looking toward the shed and he fig-ured that Santa lived in that shed. He said, ‘That’s Santa’s workshop,’” Katherine says, smiling at the mem-ory. “He wanted to come every year after that. That’s true Christmas.”

Katherine worked at the Crossroads restaurant in Abbotsford for years. She hung her paintings there and her woodworking.

“I sold lots of it. I would come home from work and say, ‘I have three more cows to do.’ Dwight would set everything up for me and then I would work another four or five hours. I was doing that until it became too much of a job.”

She taught herself oil painting and took a small course on glass cutting, so she could do stained glass win-dows. Her woodwork and painting adorn the walls. No store-bought garland ever stays intact as she pulls

it apart and adds her own touches.Every year Katherine arranges the

trees differently to accommodate different themes. This year the three trees in the living-room have a nor-dic theme, with skiers, snowmen and Santas. There’s a candy tree with ornaments that look like suck-ers and old-fashioned Christmas candy. The bird tree is lovely with

its aqua blue and mossy green deco-rations. One tree is just for ‘small ornaments’ and the special flower tree has dusty rose, black and silver decorations. The tree on the deck has teal, silver and white birds.

Although they had to seriously downsize when they moved to Salmon Arm a couple of years ago (they gave away about two-thirds of their Christmas decorations), their home still draws friends from the coast for Christmas who just don’t want to celebrate without them. It isn’t about the decorations, really. The Morgan home attracts people because Christmas, for them, isn’t at all about the presents. Katherine credits her parents for teaching her what it’s all about.

“It wasn’t about what you got – it’s what you did. It was about fam-ily and friends coming over to visit.”

The Salmon Arm Silverbacks are proud to announce that D-Man Damian Chrcek has committed to the Michigan State Spartans for the 2016-2017 season. The 5-foot 9-inch 185-pound D-Man has 4 goals and 7 assists in 27 games this past season, his 2nd in the BCHL.

“We are very proud of Damian and his accom-plishments,” says head coach Brandon West. “He is a leader on and off the ice for our team and Michigan State is getting a great character person.”

Known for his rugged style of play, this is a coming home type of situation as Damian and his family are from Marysville, Michigan. He will also continue to be teammates of fellow Spartan commit Taro Hirose who will also be joining Damian at Michigan State for the 2016-2017 season.

The Spartans Ice Hockey Team is a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Division 1 college ice hockey program, and a member of the Big 10 conference & play at the Munn Ice Arena in East Lansing, Michigan.

“I’m extremely thankful to be given the oppor-tunity to play for the Spartans next year,” says Damian. “It’s going to be an exciting new chap-ter in my life and I would have not had this opportunity if it were not for the Silverbacks organization and the city of Salmon Arm. I have enjoyed my 2 years here and I would like to thank my family, teammates, coaches, and every-one else who has supported me along the way.”

By Tom Fletcher, Black PressThere will be no more political staff deleting

email records in ministry offices, Premier Christy Clark promised Wednesday.

Clark said she accepts all of the recommenda-tions made by Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham and a fol-low-up study by a former commissioner to pre-serve email records that could be requested under freedom of information law.

“The practice of ‘triple deleting’ will be pro-hibited, ministers and political staff will contin-ue to retain sent emails and a new policy and specific training will be developed,” Clark said. “As soon as practicable, public servants will be made responsible for the searching of records responsive to information requests on behalf of ministers and political staff.”

Denham reported in October on investigations into three complaints, and determined in at least one case that emails had been intentionally delet-

ed in an effort to avoid public release. She also condemned the practice of political staff such as Clark’s deputy chief of staff to delete all of their sent emails at the end of each day.

A political staffer in Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s office resigned when Denham’s report came out. She said he denied under oath deleting another staffer’s emails related to meet-ings with remote communities on safe transit options for Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert.

NDP leader John Horgan said giving non-par-tisan public servants responsibility for records searches is an important step, but the govern-ment needs to legislate a “duty to document” policy decisions of government.

Clark told reporters Wednesday that steps will be taken once legislation is prepared to build on existing requirements.

The government brought in former informa-tion and privacy commissioner David Loukidelis to recommend new practices. Among his recom-mendations was to adjust government email systems so even deleted records are kept long enough to be captured in monthly computer backups, to allow later examination in cases where they may be the last location kept.

Continued from left. Loukedelis said it

not practical for any government to keep all email records, and attempting to archive such a massive volume of data would not only increase costs but would harm the pub-lic’s ability to get timely access. And any attempt to vet each email to determine if it should be kept would cause government to “grind to a halt.”

B.C.’s Chief Information Officer reported that the B.C. public service now receives 284 million email messages each year, and sends out another 86 million.

“To suggest, as some have, that all informa-tion should be kept is akin to suggesting it is good household man-agement for home-owners never to throw away rotten food, gro-cery lists, old newspa-pers, broken toys or worn-out clothes,” Loukidelis wrote.

By Faith JuellThe Salmon Arm Horseshoe Club complet-

ed the year end with a lovely Christmas club social, hosted by Edwin and Hildegard Krieg. We enjoyed hot apple cider, appies, and a lovely swiss dessert prepared by our hostess.

Members are busy with other activities for the winter, such as darts, crib, square dancing, pickleball, curling, and even ice fishing. A few will be travelling over Christmas, others stay-ing at home with friends or family. A very Merry Christmas to all!

The Horseshoe club is dormant for the win-ter and will start again in spring when weather permits. In the meantime, members of the executive have started plans for upcoming season tournaments and games, as well as some work on club history.

New members are always welcome and may contact president Doug Winslow at 250-832-8520 or Faith Juell 250-832-9873.

Planned Giving can be arranged in many ways such as:• Securities or Real Estate • Life Insurance• Cash Donations • Charitable Trusts• Retirement Plans • Wills & Estates

We invite you to speak to your accountant, lawyer or nancial advisor to discuss the numerous tax advantages to planned giving.

The Shuswap Hospital Foundation would be happy to provide you with detailed information on the variety of options for planned giving within our community.

One of our favourite parts of the holiday season is to put our

regular work aside, if only for a few moments, to sincerely thank our

employees, clients and their families and wish them a very Merry Christmas

& a Happy New Year.

Season’s Greetings

A12 Friday, December 25, 2015 - Lakeshore News www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Every Christmas Eve, children go to bed eager-ly anticipating a visit from Santa Claus. This merry gentleman is purported to visit the home of every good girl and boy, delivering gifts and cheer along the way.

Before the modern evolution of Santa Claus lived a very real and generous individual named Nicholas. In the third century, Nicholas served as the Bishop of Myrna in present-day Turkey. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, believing that giving should be done secretly and sacrifi-cially in Jesus Christ’s name rather than one’s own.

Stories tell of Nicholas paying the dowry for poor daughters to enable them to get married. He reportedly put coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him. It is believed Nicholas helped to restore the hope of hundreds of people in his community, making him a beloved and revered Bishop. Throughout his ministry, Nicholas fervently shared his life and fortune with others.

Nicholas continued to be revered and commemorated by many Christians even after his death. His charity and unselfish works helped inspire generations of the faith-ful, and he eventually was named the patron saint of everyone from mer-chants to sailors to pawnbrokers.

No one really knows what St. Nicholas looked like. But in 2005, a foren-sic laboratory in England reviewed his-

torical data and photographs of the remains taken from St. Nicholas’ grave in the 1950s. Researchers concluded that he was a small man, perhaps no more than five feet in height, with a broken nose.

This image certainly does not fit with the robust frame and other imagery awarded St. Nicholas in more modern years. St. Nicholas is believed to be the inspiration for Santa Claus, which was a name taken from the Dutch Sinterklaas, a contracted form of Sint Nicolass, or St. Nicholas.

Tales of the real St. Nicholas’ giving spirit were blended with a fictional personification by New York-based newspaper writers who blended the St. Nicholas name with the appearance of a Dutch town citizen. The goal was to reach out to the primarily Dutch immigrants living in New

York at the time. This jolly elf image was given a boost by the publication of “A

Visit From St. Nicholas,” which was published around the same time.

Eventually, the merry Santa Claus portrayal began to outshine the more accurate St. Nicholas version as a religious man, fos-tered by political drawings and

caricatures that depicted Santa as a chubby sort in a red suit. That image prevails to this day.

Beneath the Christmas symbolism, the beard and the presents associ-ated with Santa Claus lies a tale of generosity that originated with St. Nicholas.

SASCU is busy spreading the holiday spirit with $15,600 in donations to local food banks.

“Impacting our communities in a positive way is just part of who we are as a credit union,” says Michael Wagner, CEO of SASCU Financial Group. “Presenting these groups with this boost now, at this time of year, makes me feel very grateful to lead such an organization.”

Community Sponsorship Program funds of $13,000 were approved by the SASCU Board of Directors and distributed this past week to the Salvation Army and Second Harvest Food Banks in Salmon Arm, North Shore Food Bank, Eagle Valley Food Bank in Sicamous, and the Sorrento Food Bank. This is in addition to funds present-ed earlier this month derived from the annual campaign where ten cents gets donated for every SASCU ATM transaction in December.

“The food banks are just some of the many programs SASCU is proud to support that help strengthen local families,” says Wagner. “SASCU branches participate in the Family Resource Centre Christmas Tree Gift Drive and the generosity of our Members and staff is over-whelming.” Earlier this week, Wagner helped present the Family Resource Centre with $1,125 and six boxes of gifts for local children. SASCU has also been the major sponsor of the Sicamous Community Christmas Dinner since 2012, donating $500 annually to this event.

SASCU Financial Group offers a full range of banking, insurance, investment services and financial advice. Two branches are in Salmon Arm in addition to locations at Sicamous and Sorrento. Learn more at www.sascu.com.

Friday, December 25, 2015 - Lakeshore News A13www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

By Tom Fletcher, Black PressThe B.C. government’s new

training and employment pro-gram for single parents has enrolled more than 1,300 peo-ple since it began Sept. 1.

The program covers tuition, daycare and transportation costs for up to a year of on-the-job training or education towards in-demand jobs for single parents on social assis-tance or disability payments. The benefits can continue for up to the first year of employ-ment, including extension of government-paid dental and other health benefits.

It replaces the previous sys-tem, often referred to as the welfare trap, where single par-ents would lose their assistance payments and benefits if they went back to school to train for a job.

Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell called the results of the program’s first four months “a very good sign,” particularly since about 400 of the voluntary partici-pants are not in the ministry’s “expected to work” category because their children are under the age of three.

Of the 1,330 people signed up to the program as of mid-De-cember, 50 are already on the job in construction, retail, health and community service positions. More than 90 per cent of participants are single mothers, reflecting the fact that women are 90 per cent of the 16,000 single parents receiving income and disability assis-tance in B.C.

“When they come into a WorkBC office, there is an assessment that takes place to

determine the best path for that individual,” Stilwell said in an interview. “The case managers look at aptitude and back-ground as well as what’s going on in the local job market, and try to figure out how to individ-ually map the supports that are needed for that person. It’s a very flexible program.”

When the single parent pro-gram was launched, Stilwell described it as “one of the most significant social program shifts this government has ever introduced.” It came with a financial commitment of $24.5 million over five years.

The ministry cites research showing children who grow up in an income-assistance family are up to three times more like-ly to become dependent on income assistance themselves later in life.

Dear Reena,I am hoping that you can offer a solution for my

daughter. She recently had her dirty laundry sort-ed on the floor of her laundry area in the basement of her home. Unfortunately, her sewer line backed up and the basement sewer drain is right in front of her washing machine. Some of her clothes ended up soaked with sewer liquid and now she can’t get the smell out of her clothes. She washed them immediately the conventional way, then washed them again and tried adding vinegar to the washing machine - still no luck at removing that nasty odour. I am thinking that using extra fabric softener in the wash is only going to mask the odour for a short time but not eliminate it totally. What else could she try in order to salvage her clothes? Thanks, Sharon

Dear Sharon,Before re-washing the clothing, soak them in

hot water and borax. Borax contains no phos-phates and no bleach and it is wonderful at zap-ping hard to handle odours. If you cannot locate borax, use a generous amount of Oxy Clean or tea tree oil and vinegar or baking soda. Adding vine-gar to laundry loads is a wonderful idea, but for this particular instance you need to use straight vinegar and tea tree oil and soak for at least two hours before laundering.

Dear Reena,What is the easiest and fastest way to cut an

apple without a corer? ElsieDear Elsie,In my opinion, the easiest way to cut an apple is

to stand it on the cutting board. Cut half inch from the center on all four sides of the apple around the core. Allow the sides to fall to the cutting board.

Extra tidbit: To reduce the amount of browning on an apple after cutting: put all four cut sides up against the core and secure with an elastic band. Toss into lunch bag.

Dear Reena,How can I avoid get-

ting freezer burn on the meat that I buy? Daniela

Dear Daniela,All food items will eventually find themselves

with freezer burn, which is thousands and thou-sands of water molecules that have formed into ice crystals. There is a limit to how long food can be stored in the freezer. Here are a few easy steps that you can take to reduce freezer burn. Don’t overcrowd the freezer; make sure that all meat has enough room. Doing this helps the freezer tem-perature stay constant which reduces freezer burn. All foods should be packaged correctly– squeeze out air before packaging. Some people double bag meats to reduce freezer burn. Freeze smaller por-tions and do not freeze foods when they are hot. Allow them to cool before freezing. Correct freez-er temperature should be set at -18ºC.

Dear Reena,My grandson had gum stuck in his hair, and not

knowing what to do, I took a pair of scissors and gave him a haircut! When his mother returned to pick him up she was mad at me for cutting his hair. She took him for a professional haircut and now he’s got very short hair which doesn’t work well with such cold air. Is there anything I could have done to avoid the haircut? Pam

Dear Pam,If this ever happens again, simply take a blob of

peanut butter and run it through his hair. Gently slide the gum along his ends until it’s out. If pea-nut allergies are a concern, use WD-40 or cooking oil or cooking spray instead.

Fabulous Tips of the Week! Reduce heating costs in your home by 10% and

clean less with this simple tip. Change your fur-nace filter monthly so that your furnace does not need to work as hard and less dust floats through the air.

As you get ready to enjoy the fireplace in your home, remember not to burn coloured flyers or magazines. The fumes from coloured papers may be harmful to breathe.

I enjoy your questions and tips–keep them coming. Need a presenter on the topic: Effective Speaking or The Power of Words? Check out Reena.ca.

Polar Bear Swim supports diabetes researchLooking for a brac-

ing start to the new year? Why not come down to Canoe Beach for the first annual Polar Bear Swim and Type 1 Diabetes Research Fundraiser, put on by the Columbia-Shuswap Selkirks Swimming Club (pictured below).

Five years ago, Columbia-Shuswap Selkirk swimmer Ethan showed all typi-cal signs of type 1 dia-betes (extreme thirst, frequent urination, increased appetite, and

sudden weight loss). After a simple blood test, it was confirmed he had the disease. Ethan was immediate-ly sent to Vernon hos-pital to learn about the disease and the new direction his life was taking. After five days learning about how to take care of himself, he returned home and went straight to swim practice.

Swimming is such an important aspect of Ethan’s life — not only because he loves swimming, has made

great friends and is motivated by the chal-lenge of competition; but also because it is really important for

him to be fit and healthy when living with type 1 diabetes. Being healthy is good for everyone. It is the

same for someone liv-ing with this disease. Exercise helps the body move more effi-ciently and helps insu-

lin work more effec-tively.

The orig-inal coach of Shuswap Swimming, M i k e E f f r a y , started a team Polar Bear Swim & Type 1 D i a b e t e s r e s e a r c h fundraiser a number of years ago.

His son had type 1 dia-betes also. This year, the Columbia-Shuswap Selkirks are making this an official event, and inviting everyone to join in.

So, come on down to Canoe Beach on New Year’s Day to celebrate the start of

2016.Take a dip in the

lake and warm up with free hot chocolate pro-vided by The Hive. Or, just come and have some fun watching all the action. If you can, support type 1 diabetes research with a small donation.

Registration starts at 10:00 a.m. on Friday,

January 1 at Canoe Beach. You can print your waiver form off online at www.sel-kirk-swimming.club. The swim start at 10:45 a.m. This is a free event, but dona-tions towards the sup-port of type 1 diabetes research are appreciat-ed.

See you there!

Ol’ Swen Larsen, trapper, was a leg-end in the North country. But one of his weaknesses was whiskey. He claimed that when he immigrated to Canada and landed at the port of Montreal, the first sign he saw on a large building was “Drink Canada Dry,” (referring to the ginger ale) and he’d been trying ever since. He was also great at relating just a few tall tales, with a few whiskeys under his belt, when all other trappers met in town to discuss fur prices, gov-ernment issues, and the like.

Trapper Dan, who had a line cabin just a few short miles from Swen’s line, knew he was an excellent trapper, hon-est, and very bush-wise. Swen’s biggest fetish or phobia was all about bears. He had had many run-ins with them over the years, and had a healthy respect for them. Dominant male black bears were of concern, as well as young animals staking out new territory. But grizzlies were something else. Each had its own personality and could be dangerous, especially when surprised when on a kill.

One sunny bright afternoon, Swen was cutting out a trail quite aways from his cabin, and he started back as the sun slowly faded behind the high peaks. He had gone but just a short ways, when he heard a rustling sound close by. The hair stood up on his neck, and suddenly a very large sow grizzly appeared on the trail, accompanied by her two cubs. Spotting Swen, she immediately came at him, and the race was on. He had cut trail through an old hilly bum; and the

decision now was, would he run uphill or down? He had a quick thought that bears would run slower downhill. So, downhill he went, and the race was on. Glancin’ quickly over his shoulder to see how he was doing, he saw the old sow comin’ on like a freight train. He calculated her teeth were two inches long, and she was roaring like a lion. He figured if he was Wyatt Earp or Wild Bill Hickok, he’d whip out his pistol and do her in, but being neither, he kept on runnin’. They reached the bottom of the val-ley and entered an area of some big spruce. Not that the old girl needed to do any better – she had the race in the bag. Suddenly ahead, an old burnt snag (schoolmarm) appeared that divided into two trunks, about four feet off the ground. Jumping through the forks, he continued running. With no hot breath, and the jaws of death at his heels, he looked back. Here the big sow was wedged tightly in the cleft. With his heart still pounding, he continued on to the cabin. where he contacted Trapper Dan.

He told Dan to bring over a mickey of rye. When Dan arrived, Swen took a big swallow and told his story. “Yumpin Yiminy, was that some race!” he exclaimed. After a couple more swigs, he had calmed down enough, to tell Dan he had gone back with his rifle to check things out, and to pick up his false teeth.

The bear had stepped on them. As ol’ Swen explained, “Yumpin Yiminy, I’ve had them teeth a long time. They don’t chew meat worth a dam, but they still

can handle whiskey!”Both Dan and Swen had done well on the furs to that point. Now Christmas was a week away, and Swen knew the old sow and her cubs had denned up for the winter, but he

wanted to do more for the wildlife in the area. He talked it over with Dan. Word got out that help was needed a few miles away in the town. Soon, folks arrived on snowshoes and cross country skis, with sleighs full of beet pulp and fine hay for the cow moose and her calf, that stayed near the cabin. Feeders were placed on the cabin porch with sunflower seeds for the whiskey jacks, and chickadees. Soon the cabin was decorated with Christmas lights. A large bonfire was started, and carols were sung. The true spirit of the season had began. A feeling of joy and contentment came over Swen. He was going to miss his tradi-tional old country dinner of lutefisk (cod with mashed potatoes and creamed sauce) at the cabin, although he was invited to turkey dinner with a family in town; but Yumpin’ Yiminy, he had out-done that old bear!

On September 30, 2015 Francis, with his family and friends, gathered to celebrate his 100th birthday. He said he couldn’t believe he had so many friends. He received congratulations from the Queen and numerous government officials. He was also wished a happy birthday over the Global news

stations on television. It was one of the happiest days of his life. Francis was able to make people laugh

and to make jokes about himself. He never let things bother him and would make light of problems. He was

a kind, gentle, and caring person who was willing to give you the shirt

off his back. He loved his family deeply and was a pillar for

them to rely on.

Upon his request, there will be no service. If friends so desire, memorial donations

in Francis’ name may be made to the Arthritis Society, 895 10th Ave. W., Vancouver,

BC, V5Z 9Z9.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd. (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories of Francis through his obituary at

Forever loved and sadly missed by Debbie & Jerry Jones of Salmon Arm and niece Patricia Routh of Victoria, BC, also many friends in Salmon Arm and Enderby, BC. Diana was predeceased by her husband Bert, parents, and siblings.

Over the years Diana enjoyed golfing and curling. The last 25 plus years, even though dealing with macular degeneration, she still managed to enjoy watching both sports on TV. Diana loved people and there was never a dull moment! She loved a good joke and loved to share them. Diana shared and taught a lot to so many of us. She will never be forgotten. We can’t express enough appreciation to Dr. Venter, and for the love and support from Piccadilly nurses, care aides, and front end staff. Also thank you to Arlene at Tangles Hair Salon for her special touch in making Diana feel so special each week.

At Diana’s request, there is no service. Her ashes will be laid to rest at a later date. Memorial donations in Diana’s name may be made to BC SPCA 1245 East 7th Ave., Vancouver, BC, BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, 938 28th Ave. W. Vancouver, V5Z 4H4, or to a charity of your choice.

DID YOU KNOW?

Andre Edward Joseph GervaisIt is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Andre Edward Joseph Gervais on December 14, 2015 at the young age of 54. He was taken by the angels at Shuswap Lake General Hospital with his loved ones by his side after a courageous battle with cancer.

Andre was born August 1, 1961 to Mae Mary and Edward Wilfred Gervais in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. Along his life journey he found himself in Salmon Arm, BC where he met the love of his life, Robin, and her four children, all of whom he took under his wing as his own. Andre and Robin eventually married on July 8, 1996 and found that Salmon Arm was the place they wanted to call home.

Andre had a very strong love and intelligence for computers which led him to be a respectable business owner within the community. Andre opened Computer Ventures downtown Salmon Arm which he operated for approximately 20 years. In those 20 years he built very strong relationships with his customers and gained a vast amount of friendships which he held dearly in his heart.

Andre was very family oriented and had a strong love for his family and dogs. He cherished the time he got to spend with them and being with them was the one thing he loved most. He is survived, and will be deeply missed, by his wife Robin, his five children; Brandon Gervais, Lee (Cristal) Glazebrook, Tammy Glazebrook, Rob Glazebrook, and Steven Glazebrook, his siblings; Eugene (Lori) Gervais, Raymond (Cheryl) Gervais, Wanda (Sandy) Qually, and Theresa (Brian) Lemley, his six grandchildren; Shannon, Elie, Landen, Holden, Joseph, and Annabelle, as well as nieces, nephews, and countless friends.

A celebration of life was held at Bowers Funeral Home Saturday, December 19, 2015. In lieu of flower, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Our family would like to thank everyone for their love and support during this difficult time.

Online condolences may be sent through Andre’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com.

Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

PUZZLE NO. CW15C41A

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. CW15C41A

CAPRICORN Capricorn, when a past con ict pops up this week, push it aside. It is better to focus on the positive things that are in store for you rather than problems from the past.

AQUARIUSDon’t let anyone tell you that you can’t accomplish something, Aquarius. As you have proven time and again, you simply need to set a goal in your sights to get things done.

PISCESPisces, when you love someone, it can be dif cult to step aside and let that person make his or her own mistakes. Be patient.

ARIES Aries, you are familiar with the expression, “Your eyes are bigger than your stomach.” This week you have bitten off a project that is just too much to chew. Enlist some help.

TAURUSTaurus, you are on a roll, and now it is only a matter of maintaining momentum for a few more days. Don’t let anyone slow you down this week.

GEMINI Gemini, you may not know where your path is taking you, but you are fully aware that an adventure is in store. Take some time to prepare for the unknown that lies ahead.

CANCERLearning from your mistakes can help you to grow, Cancer. Accept a challenge presented to you this week, even if it scares you. You may nd it’s not so challenging after all.

LEO Leo, many opportunities are within reach, but you are just not sure which way to go. Seek advice from Pisces when you get a spare moment.

VIRGO Virgo, no one will know what you’re like deep inside unless you share a few secrets. You don’t have to give everything away, but let some information slip out.

LIBRA Some can see straight past your protective facade, Libra. So why not take it off and simply let others see the real you? You won’t be disappointed, and neither will they.

SCORPIONow is not a time to drag your feet, Scorpio. You have a full slate of tasks to tackle, and it seems like the hours will slip away quickly. Recharge and refocus.

SAGITTARIUS Sagittarius, you never shy away from a challenge, but you also know when to pick your battles. If something arises this week that seems a waste of time, pass it by.
