(Answer on page 7) 250-342-7260 or 250-342-7656 [email protected] www.hiheatinsulating.com April 7-13, 2016 Volume 14 Issue 15 Final Trivia Night This Wednesday, April 6 is the final night for this season of trivia at the Station Neighbourhood Pub.

There are so many factors that can contribute to it but it is primarily a breakdown of our immune systems. ‘The Truth About Cancer: A Global Quest’ is a nine-part docu-series currently showing in the DTSS Theatre due to the efforts of a small group of locals. Episode 1 referred to Chemotherapy and Pharmaceutical monopolies. Episode 2 (I attended) was about facts and fiction, breast cancer, hormones and essential oils. It was incredible interesting and hopeful. The first 2 shows can be seen online for free. I recommend watching them. Episode 3 shows this Thursday, April 7 at 7 pm at DTSS. It is about viruses, stem cells, GMO’s and more. Donations will be accepted at the door to help cover the cost of the series. Riddliculous In Europe, an electric train is travelling northwest at a speed of 80 km/h. It is travelling through a wind that is blowing southwest at a speed of 20 km/h. Which direction will the smoke from the train’s engine be pointing? See page 8. Cannibals There was a fantastic movie about a cannibal who ate his mother-in-law. They called it ‘Gladiator’. Live Music ‘Spirit Quest’ will be performing live at the Horsethief Creek Pub in Radium this Monday, April 11 from 7 to 9 pm. They are very talented. Check out ‘Fun and Games’ Night on Tuesdays and Karaoke on Thursdays. ‘The Horse’ is a great place to dine on Sundays as a portion of their food sales go towards local charities every Sunday.

You may have noticed that I write about it often. I have been doing lots of inspirational reading, spiritual reading and attending the Alliance Church. And the same messages keep coming to me from every angle. Number one is to give. Just give. Give your time, your energy, your cherished items and more. If you know someone needs something and you have it, why not give it to them? It is right there in front of you. Joy from giving. Experience it. Number two is to not worry about what others are up to. As in ‘quit judging people’. It is not our place. Consider that we are all on separate journeys and we all believe that what we are doing is the right thing. It is not up to me to tell you what I think you are doing wrong. You will figure your life out on your own and grow from the experiences. And it definitely has been helping me. Letting go of others’ lives helps a lot. And well, giving is an amazing experience. Really. The Boss “Tetanus. Measles. Flu!” shouted the doctor. “What’s up?” I asked the nurse. “As always,” she replied. “The doctors like to call the shots around here.” Volunteer Appreciation SUCH SMALL RISK Ads as low as $24.

EW N SPICY HABANERO CHICKEN BURGER Open Daily 6 am - 8 pm I heard an incredible thing on the fishing boat last week. Rob had a friend out for the first time and they were discussing dogs (Tilly and I are a bit of a workload getting set up on a boat but once we settle, it’s all good). Richard had rescued a dog a year or so ago and I myself am a rescued dog. Richard said that he will always get rescue dogs from now on. He figured the work load was pretty minimal compared to training a puppy from scratch. I totally agree. When Rob and Trudi took me in, I was a nervous wreck. But now after a few months I am so trustful of my new home. They feed me, walk me and most importantly, love me. What a life. It is so easy to be a good dog when it is coming from love. I rarely bark anymore, come when called and my tail is wagging constantly. I have everyone wrapped around my paw. Thanks to all the loving pet owners out there. What Year Was It? The Beatles released ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’, the first Lear Jet took flight, pull tabs for cans, the Smiley Face symbol and lava lamps were invented and the first NHL draft took place in Montreal. John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Martin Luther King gave the ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, Johhny Depp was born and General Hospital debuted. What year was it? See page 9.

The Thrifty Reporter April 10 to 16, 2016 is National Volunteer Week, a time to celebrate and thank all volunteers, especially the ones at the Invermere Thrift Store. The store is run fully by volunteers and in 2015 the 81 volunteers logged 16,500 volunteer hours. That is amazing!

Mommy’s Coming I am full of nervous excitement. My Mom is coming to visit. It has been quite a while since she has found her way to the Columbia Valley. I think she prefers to visit the kids with kids (her grandkids). She will be attending the DTSS Big Band Dance as she wants to see Abby playing the saxophone. She may even catch one of Maddy’s soccer practices, something that she endured with me for years. It will be her first meeting with Watson, the awesome Bassett hound as well. She has already met and loves Matilda. So I have 4 days to tidy my place and organize my life. Moms have expectations and we all love to impress them.

He thought there was 196 until he rounded them up. Read It, Believe It With last week bringing April Fool’s Day, it was an interesting adventure. Many folks believe everything that they read, no matter what the source. Especially on the Internet. There was a Facebook posting about the government passing law regarding no kids allowed home alone unless they were 15 years or older. It was a bit lengthy and detailed but at the end it clearly said it was an April fool’s joke. Some readers became quite excited. Their passion was so high that they didn’t read the whole article but were quick to comment on how bad that would make things. I saw a great joke regarding how April 1 is the only day of the year that people question anything they read or hear. RENT THIS SPACE As low as $46 for 1,500 Copies!

I can’t even begin to name them all but nearly every one of them turns out to be a fantastic show. Take advantage of the shows that we get. Spend an evening out listening to some live music. It is good for your soul. Quite the Concept I was trying to wrap my head around the Earth the other day. It is quite the concept that as we wander around in our daily lives, we are actually on a ball that is hurtling through space at thousands of miles an hour. Think about that. Head Games The brain is an incredible thing. It has a lot of control over us. At least me, anyways. Golf is a perfect example. It can be a pretty easy game sometimes; that is until the brain gets involved (like most sports). I seem to be able to stress myself into some really poor golf shots. A bit of frustration and the next shot gets worse. A drop in confidence and it really falls apart. I had a great chuckle the other day at my buddy’s comment, “Golf will probably be a lot more fun with dementia. We will actually be able to forget that last shot and just move forward”. Musically Inclined Part of writing The Valley Peak is trying to take in most of the events in the valley so I have plenty to share with the readers.
