Love to Laugh

Laughing is good for you. It gets those endorphins flowing through your body. That is a good thing and feels great. YukYuks on Tour is back at The Horsethief Creek Pub in Radium this Saturday, June 10, beginning at 9 pm. It will be a great show; they always are. Headliner Kevin McGrath and emcee Nick McQuick will lift your spirits and have you chuckling in no time. Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 at the door. The free shuttle will be running so give the pub a call if you would like a ride.

Serious Series

I love watching ‘The Simpsons’. They never get old.

DTSS Band Concert

The David Thompson Secondary School Final Band Concerts are coming up next week. This is always a great show and a chance to see how much the members have grown in skill and talent. The Grade 8 Band, Grade 9 Band and the Junior Jazz Band will be performing on Wednesday, June 14. The Concert Band and the Stage Band will

showcase their year on Thursday, June 15. Both performances are at the DTSS Gym and begin at 7:30 pm. Admission is by a silver collection at the door.

Farmers Market Finally

The Invermere Farmers and Artisans Mar-ket begins this Saturday, June 10, running from 9 am to 1 pm. This is always an in-credible market adventure with a fantastic variety of vendors. There are baked goods, preserves, food & beverages, jewellery, carvings, clothing and so much more that I cannot even attempt to describe it. New and exciting this year is the ‘Cenotaph Stage’ which will showcase live local music every Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm. This week’s band is ‘The Halfsacks’. They will be very entertaining.

Registered Therapists

Pleiades Spa & Wellness now has 2 certi-fied BC RMTs on their team. Kate Godlien and Madi Melnick are welcoming valley residents (Golden to Canal Flats) with a great deal for a 60-minute session. Only $89 for your first visit. Call 250-347-2288 to book now.

BIG Book Sneak Preview

There is a ‘sneak preview’ of the BIG Book Sale by the Friends of the Invermere Pub-lic Library being held this Saturday, June 10 from 9 am to 1 pm (coincides with the Farmers Market hours). It will be held at Frater Landing, the courtyard in front of Columbia Valley Trading next to AG Valley Foods. They will have a large variety of gently used books to help get us warmed up for the BIG Book Sale in July. The Invermere Library will conduct ‘Story Time’ at Frater Landing at 11 am. All funds from the book sales go towards outfitting the Children’s Section of the new Inver-mere Library in the new community centre.

Guest Speaker

This Sunday, June 11, at 10:30 am, the Lake Windermere Alliance Church has a guest speaker delivering the message. “Hearing Voices” will be the topic for Rev-erend Terry Young from the Ambrose Uni-versity. The Alliance Church is the Church that I attend. They offer a positive message about kindness, respect, gratitude and such. The people attending and the Pas-tors are very welcoming and they have some great musicians as part of the wor-ship (singing) team. Everyone is welcome to attend on any Sunday at 10:30 am.

Good Plan

Recently I started a 4 week diet plan with all the meals laid out for me. I am very impressive. I was able to finish that plan in 11 days.

Halibut & Chips

Every Friday, at ‘The Grill’ at Windermere Valley Golf Course, is a great fish and chips special. Real fish. Halibut. Yummy. Stop in any day at the restaurant for a deli-cious meal. I think their wings are some of the best in the valley. AnD you may as well do some golfing while you are there. Windermere Valley is a nice course. It is affordable, walkable and very player-friendly.

Robservations

I came across a pretty good saying this week. I am not sure who penned it so I can’t give credit, but it was not me. “Success is not the key to happiness; hap-piness is the key to success.” To me that makes total sense. Really, I think that that is what success is; happi-ness. If you are happy, you are leading a successful life. You do not need to make a ton of money, or to own the latest and fan-ciest truck on the market. You just need to enjoy your life every day. And that is totally up to you. I know that I write about this quite often but that is be-cause I truly believe it. I never feel that I need to ‘get ahead’. I would rather enjoy my activities today than worry about what might happen next week. It may catch up with me some day but in the meantime, I am enjoying life “How are you doing?” people ask. “Busy and broke, but living an incredibly rich life,” is my answer. And it’s true. Get out there and enjoy yourself. We were not put on this planet to work all day, be miserable and go home for a couple hours before bed and doing the exact same thing tomorrow. Life is lots of fun if you let it be.

Hike for Hospice

Watson’s

Waddle

I have a new friend i n m y l i f e . ‘Hendricks’ is a puppy living in the suite below us. He is pretty big already and has really long legs. He is part boxer so he loves to use his legs when we are play-ing. I have really had to pick up my game. He loves to run and wrestle and, well, it turns out that I am not as young as I wish I was. We are having a lot of fun and getting lots of exercise. Dogs are pretty awesome with each other. Hendricks is pretty large but very young. I have to be a bit gentle when we wrestle. And it’s great the way he can be so gentle yet persuasive. He nips at my ears or at my heels to get me interested. It is cute. Rob and I still do lots of walking. Our new place has brought on some new territory to explore but is close enough to the old place that I still see my old friends. A dog’s life can be a pretty good life.

What Year Was It?

There were plenty of firsts. The first canned beer was sold, the first pair of male briefs were sold by Coopers, the first major league night baseball game took place, the world’s first parking meters were installed in Oklahoma City, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers were the first Western team to win the Grey Cup and Amelia Earhart was the first person to fly solo across the Pa-cific Ocean. What year was it? See page 9.

Young Thief

I could easily tell it was my two year-old who stole my felt pen. It was written all over his face.

Dazzling Gifts Galore

Just a reminder of the new shop in town. They are located next to Bike Works and First Choice Realty on the main street in Invermere. With Father’s Day approaching, they are offering up some great deals on gifts for Dad. Stop in and checkout all the cool stuff they have in stock. You will be impressed.

Funding Fireworks

Nearly everyone loves fireworks and Can-ada Day in the valley always brings an incredible fireworks display on the night of June 30, at midnight. It helps get you in-spired for the festivities on July 1. Here in the valley, the fireworks are man-aged by the Kinsmen Club of the Winder-mere Valley. It is one of the best shows that you will see anywhere and people from all over come to Invermere just for this celebration. Do your part and make a contribution to the Kinsmen for the show. Fireworks are costly and great fireworks are particularly expensive. Donate to the change boxes at local businesses, drop it off at Local View Printing & Design or mail it to Box 2039, Invermere, B.C., V0A 1KO. Thanks.

Schoolwork

I am pretty sure that the word ‘studying’ is just a contraction of the words ‘student dying’.

The Thrifty Reporter

Wow life sure can get busy and I find more so in the summer. I have noticed that the town is getting busy with many activities happening. There are many more people visiting and enjoying our beautiful valley. There is just so much to do! This also includes the Invermere Thrift Store. The store is bursting with lovely merchandise. When you take time from your activities to stroll the Main Street, stop into the store. The prices are excellent and you could chance on a sale. You might even find that certain thing that you have always been searching for.

Radium Days

Radium Days are coming up in a couple of weeks. Keep Friday, June 23 and Satur-day, June 24 available for some good times in Radium. It gets bigger and better with every year. Friday evening brings the Market on Main and Music on Main with ‘The Ramblers’ performing in front of the visitor centre. Saturday is a full day of events beginning with breakfast, a parade, games and activi-ties at Legend’s Field, a logging show, axe-throwing and nail-pounding contests and a street dance in the evening. Come out and celebrate the spirit of the Village of Radium Hot Springs.

Hot Shave

I have said it before and I will say it again. With Father’s Day coming up, a perfect gift for Dad is a hot shave from Patrick, the Shamrock Barber, at Invermere Barbers next to the Laundromat. For the father who has everything (any father really), a hot shave is a unique and thoughtful gift. Or just a haircut. Both Mike and Patrick do a great job with your hair. They are affordable and work on a first come, first served basis so you just drop in for a cut. They are good guys with lots of pleasant conversation to keep you engaged during your cut.

Canadian Sports Trivia Answer

Great Britain actually defeated Canada for the Gold Medal in the 1936 Olympic Games. Eleven of the British players had trained and played in Canada during their careers.

Money Matters

Isn’t it funny that I wouldn’t trust my best friend with my credit card but I will hand it to any bartender without question.

Tips from the Pro

How do I rid myself of the duck hook? This unfortunate shot is often the result of the same swing that causes a slice, except in this case the clubface is closed at impact. To fix the duck hook you will need to change your swing direction so that the club is delivered on a path that is straight through the ball. More importantly you must keep the clubface from closing. On the backswing focus on opening the clubface like you would open a door so that it has a better chance of getting back to square at impact instead of closed. Jeremy Johnson, FHSR.

The Horsethief Creek Pub rocks! Espe-cially on Mondays with live music every week from 7 pm to 9 pm. This coming Monday, June 12, ‘Oak Republic’ will be performing. They are great entertainers. The following Monday, June 19 brings ‘Smokin’ Ray & the Detectors’, another awesome group with local roots. Enjoy good music, good food, good atmos-phere and good times at the Horsethief Creek Pub.

Riddliculous Answer

(From page 2) The word ‘NOON’ is the same left to right, right to left and upside down.

Mosquito Season

So far this year, mosquitoes have not been too bad, but they are out there. They can be very annoying. Last year I tried a mouthwash, Epsom salts and beer mixture to keep them away. It was actually quite effective at eliminating mosquitoes for a good length of time. This week I was given a new suggestion. Cut a lime in half and insert whole cloves into the lime. Place these around your sit-ting area and the mosquitoes should dis-appear. It will be interesting to try.

Close to Home

The world is a crazy place these days. There are lots of violent attacks including the one at London Bridge that took the life of Christine Archibald, a 30 year-old lady from Castlegar. Her grandmother lived on my street and taught me in Grade 1. She was just being a tourist in London. Anything can happen to anyone anytime, it is true. But don’t let these things affect your life and your attitude. Get out there and be happy and do what you love. Enjoy every day, help others enjoy their days and have a good life.

Chicken Deal

Ag Valley Foods has their BBQ chickens from the deli on sale this week. $8.99 gets you a juicy, tasty, full-sized, barbecue chicken. They have an incredible selection of great foods in the deli. Over in the meat department, salmon is still on special. Salmon fillets are going for only $9.99/pound. Seafood is good for you so take advantage of this great bargain.

Roast Beef Dinner

This week’s Friday night dinner at the In-vermere Legion is roast beef with York-shire puddings and all the fixings. Dinner is at 6:30 pm and often sells out so get there early or make a reservation. Try the meat draws and the 50/50 draw while you are there. You may as well come away a winner. Remember to check out Texas Hold’Em Poker on Thursday evenings at 7 pm. It is a friendly group of folks who would love to have you contribute $30 or so to the cause.

It Was That Year

(From page 4) In 1935, the Bank of Can-ada was established, Elvis Presley was born, Alcoholics Anonymous was formed, Babe Ruth hit his 714th and final home run, Porky Pig debuted with Looney Tunes, and the first Volkswagon Beetle was produced. Also, the average new home cost $3,450 and the average annual income was $1,600. The good old days.

Radio Repair

I just fixed the radio at work that has been broken for months. My coworkers were ecstatic. You should have heard the recep-tion I got.

Canal Days

A fantastic job by all the volunteers and organizers of Canal Days. The whole com-munity came together for an amazing weekend. Lots of people attended and had lots of fun. The duct tape boat races on Sunday were definitely highly entertaining. All the activities were very well planned and well attended. Watch for this one next year. They are doing a great job in Canal Flats keeping the spirit of the community alive.

Food for Thought

‘On the Back Burner’ is a relatively new saying, with the arrival of multi-burner gas and electric stoves. Cooks got into the habit of placing plans with slower cooking ingredients on the burners at the back of the stove. They would keep the ones needing more attention on the burners at the front. Before long ‘the back burner’ was being widely used to indicate something that is not the top priority.

Canada Day Parade

Because everyone loves a parade, or at least I do, this is just another reminder to get on building a float for this year’s event. Canada 150 is a big year so we should have a big parade. Where else do you get to showcase your business to thousands of folks with little or no cost? It is almost as good as being in The Valley Peak haha. The time is getting closer so plan your parade float soon.

Where I Was

The photo on page 6 shows a large group of folks and a big screen saying, “Thank You Volunteers”. It was a luncheon to thank all the volunteers who help out at Columbia House. Thanks to Watson, the Bassett Hound, I was included. Thanks to COHO and the Legion for lunch.

Solo

What do you call a guy named Lee that has no friends and is always alone? Lonely.

Watermelons

I had never been a big fan of watermelon until the last few years. Now I am addicted to them. Especially if they are the perfect ripeness. But how do you know? Check the yellowy spot where it rested on the ground. If it has a tinge of orange to it, the melon is more ripe. Check the stem. If it is green, the melon was picked too early and will not be ripe. Look for brown, dry and shriveled. Check for a bit of the brown ‘webbing’ lines. More lines indicate more pollination of the flower before growth leading to a bit more sweetness. And remember that the round melons are ‘female’ and a bit sweeter than the oval-shaped ‘male’ melons, which contain more water. Enjoy.

Dandelions

There is a huge crop this year. The Colum-bia Valley is doing its part in supporting the world’s declining bee population. Some-times I glance at my yard and feel a bit guilty for all the dandelions but when I look around I see many more in lots of places. To some folks they are a weed, but to me they are a cute little flower with an awe-some ‘golden-rod’ colour which matches the logo for The Valley Peak.

Busy Times

Moving definitely sucks. It does not matter how far you are moving or why, the actual acts of packing, loading, transporting, unloading and unpacking (not to mention cleaning) are a lot of work and very time-consuming. This has been a lousy adventure for me as I have years’ worth of stuff accumulated and although I planned to purge lots, it is hard to let everything go. Plus fishing is great in May and golf season is on but I have been too busy. I have tried to do it without asking for much help but it has turned out to be quite cumbersome and depressing.

Quick Closure

For the first time in 10 years the ‘Options for Sexual Health Clinic’ will be closed on a regular clinic night. They are usually open on the first and third Tuesday of each month and will be back to that in July (4th and 18th). There will be no clinic on June 20. Thanks for your understanding.

Location, Location

I recently called the local library and asked, “Is this the local library?” The answer was, “I guess that depends on where you are calling from.”

Great Experience

I finally got in a day of fishing this week-end. Moving has really affected my leisure time. Anyway, I met a young gentleman while getting gas and he was headed to the same lake. He helped me mount the motor on my boat and I suggested he come visit me on the lake if he is having issues catching fish (some days I do okay). Eventually him and his girlfriend did come by and tie up to my boat. They used my rods and caught a couple fish. It was nice. As it turns out, he is an NHL hockey player. He was very humble and I had to draw the information out of him. I don’t watch a lot of hockey and am not a big fan but yes, I am feeling pretty good about teaching him and his girlfriend how to catch the odd fish. They were both so gracious. A great day.

High Waters

Be careful out there folks. The water levels all around the province are pretty high. Including this area.

There is still a lot of snow in the mountains and with a mix of rain and hot weather, it can come rushing down as water very quickly. Our creeks and lake are already quite high and could easily reach flood levels. Creeks and bridges can become pretty dangerous. Lake Okanagan is so high that boaters are being asked to stay off of it as waves and wakes will do damage to the shoreline. They say that not a single boat was seen on that lake last weekend. It could be very interesting in the East Kootenay area as well. We shall have to wait and see.

Open for Lunch

It is always nice to have a spot to go for a tasty lunch. The Copper City Saloon in the Best Western Invermere Inn is now open for lunch 7 days a week. They open at noon daily with some wonderful menu choices. Watch for daily specials. Enjoy.
