Elkford Secondary School at
Regional Skills Canada Competition
Dylan Atherton, CJ Mayne, and Kyle Klippenstein competed on Friday, March 6, at the Regional Skills
Canada Competition in Cranbrook at the College of the Rockies.
Skills Canada Competitions are the ultimate test to high school students who want to showcase their
trades skills in a fun, yet competitive event.
The boys competed in the "Carpentry High School" event, and all showed great skill and enthusiasm as
they worked on their saw horse project. All three of them should be very proud of the projects they built, and
the craftsmanship they showed.
Congratulations to Kyle Klippenstein who placed first in the event and will be going on to compete at the
provincial level in Abbotsford in April. Well done! I hope all three compete again next year in either the
same, or a new event.
I also hope that more students will want to compete in years to come so that we at ESS can showcase
our skillful students and build a strong trades program.
On behalf of the three of them, we would like to thank Mrs. Klippenstein for driving them to the event.

The Elkford 50+ Club
This will just be a short note to update everyone on
the 50+ Club.
It took awhile to get up and running but we are in
full swing now. We are hoping to have a busy and
exciting year.
We are happy to welcome some new members to
our club. They are very enthusiastic and are sharing
some great ideas for possible events that the
members may enjoy.
The executive committee will be investigating
some of these ideas and, if and when we have
enough interest, we will make the necessary
arrangements.
So far the members have enjoyed our regular
Tuesday afternoons enjoying games, doing crafts,
sipping coffee or tea and snacking on goodies. Of
course it goes without saying that we enjoy the
company of our fellow members and the good
natured bantering that accompanies that cup of
coffee.
We have had our first bingo since starting up
again. Those who attended had a great time and due
to popular demand we have booked our next bingo
for April 14th.
The club is also preparing for our annual spaghetti
dinner which will be held on April 28th.This event is
always well attended and enjoyed by our members
and their guests.
Remember that you do not have to be 50 years of
age or older to join our club. We welcome members
of any age, you just have to want to have some fun
and enjoy the company of great people.
The club meets every Tuesday afternoon at 1:00
p.m. at the United Steelworkers Union Hall.
Our yearly fee for membership is $10.00.
Hope to see you there.

We may not be the best dart players, but we do have a blast!
The Tuesday Night Dart Club
had a tournament on Saturday,
March 9th .
The play was accompanied by
moans and groans for the near
misses, and cheers when a shot
actually went where it was meant
to go.
Our potluck lunch had a great
assortment of food and all the participants were stuffed when play
resumed in the afternoon.
Thank you to Heather Smuin

But wait, there is more.
Computerized scans to start at Pure Life Family
Chiropractic Elkford!!! WOW! This is exciting news!
Have you ever noticed that you turn RED when you
are hot, or embarrassed?
To better evaluate the health of the people in Elkford, I
will begin phasing in the availability of this equipment on a
weekly basis, starting on April 1st!
This is because your blood vessels are controlled by
your nervous system: brain, cord, nerves.
Do you remember in grade 10 biology class the
discussion on the Central Nervous System?
Blood vessels get bigger to release heat that in your
body. There is a computerized scan for that too!
It's that complex communication system in your body
that literally runs EVERYTHING!
We can measure the effectiveness of your nerves to
regulate the blood on both sides of the spinal cord.
Whether you're feeling great, or suffer with health issues,
the scans can identify areas of dysfunction in your
nervous system.
Made up of gooey/squishy matter called the brain and
spinal cord.
I am very pleased to offer these scans in the office to
best help promote your health and well-being. Make
today a great day!
I hope you do, because it is really important to take
care of!!
This is the system that I focus on as a Chiropractor.
Think of me as a non-invasive neurological specialist.
Or a human electrician.
Dr. Erik Thorlakson – Pure Life Family Chiropractic
Lets travel back in time a bit. The year is 1792:
A guy named Alessandro Volta is mixing acids, bases,
a few chunks of metal and sticking them into cut up frog
legs.
I know, crazy scientists right!
Well, he discovered something about LIFE. It was
electrical energy in the body, that animates LIFE. Cool!
Alessandro Volta eventually became recognized for
his work.
They call the measurement of electricity VOLTAGE
after his last name. Very interesting.
(This also provided the inspiration for the novel
Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley in 1817, where an
arrangement of deceased body parts came to life by being
struck by lightening...could happen I guess:)
So, our brain sends electrical current into our body, to
move our muscles around.
That is why sticking your finger into a light socket
makes your muscles contract or spasm.
(including the heart – which could be very bad!!)
Fast forward to next week. If you come into my office,
guess what! We can measure that current flowing to your
posture muscles. Imagine getting to see how your
muscles are contracting around your spine. This is really
fascinating stuff!!!
It is called sEMG (surface
electromyography)

Hiring Contractors and Making It All Work
by Jess
Here we are entering another roofing season quite early
after a very gentle winter. Already the local folks with the
worst roofs are busy requesting quotes and trying to make
arrangements to get their work done. Like other local
contractors, I am also busy happily responding to various
client calls and trying to provide people with free detailed
estimates of what work I believe their homes require and
how much I believe it will cost.
Regardless of what type of services any legitimate
company provides, crafting real quotes requires loads of
experience and knowledge acquired only after years and
years of struggle and eventual perfection, or near
perfection in their respective professional fields.
Although many legitimate companies offer free
quotations to potential clients, those ‘free quotes’ are
made with substantial cost to the companies who create
them. This means that ‘free quotes’ are actually a valuable
crafted gift made to potential clients, in good faith,
intended to win a client’s consideration.
In certain ways, quotes received are essentially semiprivate documents intended only between the client and
the contractor. Although most contractors understand that
most potential clients will need to consult others about the
details of any quote, contractor quotes are not normally
intended to be shared by clients with lazy competitors
hoping to grab work by undercutting an installation fee.
Parties asking clients to share private quotes obtained
from other contractors are knowingly asking you to
participate with them in a dubious act intended to unfairly
benefit them and harm others.
Most often, in these circumstances, the undercutting
party will attempt to increase their profits by supplying the
client with inferior materials and workmanship in addition
to taking advantage of the original contractor who supplied
the ‘free’ estimate, in good faith, at their own expense.
This is why it is common practice for our own
government and large companies like Teck to impose
closed (private) bidding on all potential work contracts. It
is a time-tested way of measuring legitimacy.
If a contractor/installer is legitimate, they will know their
craft with some degree of perfection and they can produce
their own detailed recommendations and quotation for
you. Legitimate contractors do not need their clients to
share private quotes obtained from competitors.
Legitimate contractors do not need to read what remedies
other professionals think any particular job requires.
Legitimate contractors do not need to see and hack away
at the net dollar value of their competitor’s estimates to
win jobs.
Please remember, real quality is rarely the fastest or
the cheapest. Be wise, be careful!

Community Update ...
We are moving into our new larger store soon and it will take
some time for us to get used to the new larger space.
With the expanded grocery and general merchandise
variety, it will take some time to source products from our
suppliers. With the new proposed deli and in store bakery we
will take our time to ensure that we have our staff trained to
operate these new departments before we open them.
We will have a grand opening at a later time when we are
ready to present our new facility with our enhanced products
and services.
Until then, come in and experience a great new look for
Elkford when we open.
Thanks again for your patience and support.

MARCH WAS KIDNEY HEALTH MONTH
Latest stats show that 2.4 million Canadians suffer from Chronic Kidney Disease and
95% have never been told by a health professional that they have a kidney disease or
dysfunction.
You can lose up to 80% of your kidney function without experiencing any
symptoms. It is a silent killer that may lead to heart attacks and strokes.
Chronic kidney failure occurs when the kidney is working at less than 10% of
full capacity. At this stage a person will need dialysis or a transplant to continue
living.
More than 20,000 Canadians with kidney disease are on dialysis.
Predictions are that about half of all people aged 30 and older will develop
chronic kidney disease during their lifetime.
Part of the problem is that we are
living longer and kidney function declines with age. But another contributor to the
spread of the disease may be the growth of type 2 diabetes which can lead to kidney
disease. Other common causes of kidney disease are high blood pressure and hardening
of the arteries which can damage the blood vessels in the kidney. Kidney disease can
also be caused by medications, blockages, auto immune and anatomic disorders.
If caught soon enough, treatments are available that can slow the progress of
the disease and delay having do go on dialysis.
Healthy kidneys filter wastes from the blood, preventing toxins from building up
in the bloodstream and create urine in the process.
Kidneys are master multitaskers. As they clean the blood, they simultaneously
regulate the body’s fluid levels and keep blood minerals such as sodium, phosphorus
and potassium in balance. Healthy kidneys also impact other functions in the body.
They activate vitamin D to maintain healthy bones and release hormones that direct
the production of red blood cells and regulate blood pressure.
Symptoms and complications of kidney disease can include:
Puffy hands and feet
High blood pressure
Fatigue
Shortness of breath
Loss of appetite
Nausea and vomiting
Thirst
Bad taste in mouth or bad breath
Weight loss
Generalized, persistent itching skin
Muscle twitching or cramping
A yellowish-brown tint to skin
Urine that is cloudy or tea colored
Simple things everyone can do to protect their kidneys and
prevent kidney disease:
Get tested!!
Often kidney disease has no physical symptoms until the late stages.
Recommended yearly urine and blood testing especially for those with high blood
pressure, diabetes or a family history of kidney disease.
Reduce use of over the counter pain medications. They may alleviate aches and
pains but can harm the kidneys especially if your kidneys are already damaged.
Exercise regularly.
Stay well hydrated to help your kidneys clean toxins.
Eat less processed foods which can be a significant source of sodium, nitrates
and phosphates which have been linked to kidney disease.
There is a short quiz at the following link to determine your risk factors
however the best prevention is to have annual testing done through your health care
professional.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
In 2014, there were 354 people in British Columbia waiting for a kidney transplant.
69 people received a transplant from a deceased donor and 107 living donor kidney
transplants were performed.
The average wait time in British Columbia for a deceased donor kidney
transplant is 5-10 years depending on your blood type.
Transplants are cost-effective.
For those with kidney disease, the average
cost of dialysis is $50,000 per year. The one-time cost of a kidney transplant in
BC is @$15,000 then yearly $5500 for anti-rejection drugs.
By becoming a living kidney donor, you could help more kidney patients live
longer and healthier lives. Healthy adults can become living donors after extensive
medical testing determines it is safe for them.
3 WAYS TO BE A LIVING KIDNEY DONOR
Donating a compatible kidney directly to a friend or relative.
If the donor kidney is not compatible with the recipient, using the Living
Donor Paired Exchange (LDPE) Program to be matched with another donor/recipient pair
in a similar situation. (CANADA WIDE PROGRAM)
Donating a kidney without personally knowing someone needing a transplant
through the Living Anonymous Donor(LAD) program.
In 2012, nationwide there were only 550 people registered in
the LDPE program.
Why aren’t more people signed up?
In order to register, people must sign up via their nearest transplant program.
It is not something that can be done from a website and people are required to
undergo full medical and psychological screening to be on the registry. Medical
studies have demonstrated that donors who have donated a kidney have as full, active
and healthy a life as those who have not donated a kidney.

On September 30, 2014 I was diagnosed suddenly with kidney failure. I didn’t have
any of the common symptoms. On October 2nd, I was started on dialysis 3 times a week
and will have to continue dialysis until I hopefully receive a transplant. Because
of my blood type, my wait period for a deceased donor will probably be 8-10 years.
If there is more education about kidney disease, what you can do to prevent it
and what can be done to help those living with it, the better off we will all be.

“There is nothing certain in life
except for death and taxes.”
And fortunately you have me to help you with the
latter. Yes, it is Tax Time again and this is your
reminder.
I attended the CCH tax seminar as I do every year
to get updates on tax changes.
Do you know that CRA is phasing out writing
cheques? You need to set up Direct Deposit to be
ready for CRA to put your tax funds (and any other
moneys coming from the Federal Government) right
into your bank account.
CRA continues doing more processing reviews of
our tax returns in their effort to squeeze a few more
dollars from us all. Don’t just pay any amount they
say you owe before you look into it, as it is often a
matter of providing information to back-up your claim.
I have been told that this year CRA is targeting
business-in-home expenses. Make sure you have all
your receipts.
Reminders: There are new rules for paying and
collecting CPP.
An important item in the Elk Valley, where we
have to travel for a good portion of our medical care is
to claim expenses. Depending on the situation, you
can claim travel, meals and accommodation.
You have benefits for your children for their
attendance in art and/or physical activity programs.
When you bring me your tax information, please
remember to bring the assessment or re-assessment
that the government sent after filing your 2014 taxes.
I am looking forward to seeing all my prior
clients again. Thank you for your business.
Referrals are welcome and so are new clients.
Tax-free benefits inside.

Elk Valley Congregational Church
elkvalleycongregational.org
We will soon be celebrating Easter. Many people see
Easter as an opportunity to get four days off of school,
get a long weekend and maybe go someplace. As great
as these perks are, it should cause us to sit back and
reflect on why we do celebrate Easter?
We celebrate Easter because Someone wants no
person left behind! That someone is Jesus, Son of God.
When we read 3 stories in Luke 15 we see Jesus sharing
that every person is of great worth. Luke 15: 1-7 is the
story about the lost sheep. A shepherd has his flock of
sheep out in the open country. As he prepares to get his
flock back home he realizes that one is missing. This lost
sheep may have been the curious one that always
wanted to try out a new trail or run on ahead. The
adventurous one who chose not to listen to his mother
bleating at him to “Come back.” However, the shepherd
found him and carried the sheep home. No one was lost.
The second story is about a lost coin. A woman loses
one out of many. She turns the room upside down
looking for that coin. She searches and searches until the
lost coin is found.
The third story is one about the lost son. A son leaves
home to do his own thing. There is no interaction with his
family. He doesn’t need those people! In his heart he is
possibly thinking that he can make it on his own without
dad, mom or older brother telling him what to do!!!
However, he eventually hits rock bottom and he returns
home. When his father sees him coming, he runs out to
meet him, greeting him by throwing his arms around him
and kissing him. The returned son feels totally unworthy of
even being called the son of the Father. However, the
Father would hear none of that. He praised the Lord for his
son who was lost and had returned home.
Jesus is searching for us if we do not know Him. That
is why Jesus came to earth. He was born, He grew, He
ministered to the people of his time. The Pharisees, and
the upper class people who thought they had life all
together did not like what He was doing. He ate with the
downtrodden, he travelled with the fishermen, he was
friends with the tax collector, etc.
Yes, Jesus came to earth, died on the cross for our
sins, and returned from the grave, prior to ascending to
heaven. If we believe in Him and what He did for us, we
must be willing to ask for forgiveness for the things we
have done wrong. Then walk with Him, share His love with
others, so they too will hear the Good News and we pray
they will make a decision to invite Jesus to be Lord of their
life.
You are all encouraged to celebrate this Easter
season by attending the Good Friday Service at the
Elk Valley Congregational Church on April 3 at 10:30
am, and you are also invited to an Easter Sunday
service at any number of the churches in Elkford on
April 5th.
Enjoy the Easter Season and remember the real
meaning for this holiday.
Blessings
