Some visiting sledders found themselves in quite a pickle last week and ended up spending a cou-

ple nights in the winter alpine. According to Valemount RCMP Constable, James

Bos, “we had a total of, over the course of two days, fi ve sledders trapped on the backside of the Clem-ina area, between the mountainside and the lake.” Initially three individuals, on Thursday, January 26, wound up in an area they couldn’t get out. One was able to walk out because he was in a slightly dif-ferent location from the original two. Search and Rescue attempted to address them but due to some signifi cant weather issues preventing both helicop-ter and ground rescue, the two remaining sledders were forced to spend the night on the mountain.

On Friday, January 27, Search and Rescue were organizing to pick up the fi rst two individuals when it was discovered three more individuals had found themselves trapped in the same area. It was believed the second group, who were completely unrelated to the fi rst, were led by curiosity and fol-lowed the fi rst group into their same predicament. Again, weather conditions made a helicopter res-cue too dangerous. All fi ve individuals spent the night, a second night for two of them.

On Saturday, January 28, at fi rst light, with the as-sistance of Yellowhead Helicopters all fi ve individ-uals were extracted, safe and sound, and brought back into town. There were no injuries. Constable

Bos did not know if the trapped individuals recov-ered their sleds “Our Search and Rescue’s primary focus is safety of individuals. Equipment recovery is really up to them,” said Constable Bos.

Constable Bos noted this incident was a prime

example of why it is important to enter the alpine prepared with the right equipment. “Little things you don’t think to take, like a small tent, allow a more comfortable night if something were to hap-pen,” said Constable Bos.

STARS rescue helicopter dispatched

Around noon on Saturday, January 28, STARS Alberta received a distress call that a person who had been

missing for three days had been found at the Kakwa cabin. "The line went dead," said Corporal Barry Ken-nedy of the McBride RCMP, who was contacted through the Prince George call centre as the area lies within Mc-Bride’s territory.

“Because STARS was contacted, we assumed that there was a medical emergency. However, due to the poor

weather here we couldn’t fl y. So we called a helicopter out of Grande Cache, as it was still clear in the north.”

The pilot only had limited time to fl y as the storm was moving in. The helicopter got to the cabin at approxi-mately 4:30 p.m.

“He only had 10 minutes on the ground before he would have been unable to fl y back,” said Corporal Ken-nedy.

“The ambulance crew talked to the sledder and he said he was fi ne and wanted to stay. He left the area with his buddies the following day.”

The RCMP are still investigating this incident further.

McBride RCMP Corporal Barry Kennedy said despite the blizzard that raged through the valley on Satur-

day, January 28, there haven’t been any serious highway accidents.

“There were some minor non-injury accidents during the snow storm, where people were losing sight of the road and drove into the ditch,” he said.

“Most people heeded the warnings to stay off the road.”A Level 3 advisory had been issued for the area, which

means travel only if necessary.

In a bizarre, but not completely unheard of, set of circumstances an owl reaped havoc upon guests

and employees at the Crescent Spur Heli-skiing Lodge. One person received cuts and lacerations. Crescent Spur Helicopter Holdidays has asked we do not release any names of the individuals in-volved. According to the Conservation Offi cer, Todd Hunter, at approximately 6 p.m. on Thursday, January 26 a staff member of the lodge was walking between buildings when something struck him. He had some lacerations and some signifi cant cuts to the side of his face near the eye, temple and hair-line. He was initially very stunned as he was hit hard but never saw what hit him. Initially he believed a sheet of ice had come off the roof of the main lodge building and struck him. A curious guest from the main lodge went outside to investigate what could have fallen off the main lodge building to cause the damage to the employee’s face. The guest was unable to see anything out of the ordinary but on his way back to the main lodge the owl launched a sneak attack from behind, giving the guest a nick on the back of his head. The guest fought off the owl with his hand. This attack was witnessed by several people in the lodge, who could clearly see the ma-rauder was an owl. Meanwhile, the fi rst victim was requiring further medical attention and needed supplies from a medical backpack located in an-other lodge building. A second employee made a dash for the medical backpack and was attacked by the owl. He was armed with a ski pole and was able to ward off the attack, although he did loose his hat during the melee.

The fi rst victim was driven to McBride Hospital to receive medical attention.

The owl returned to the main lodge building, perched itself on a window sill, and stared into the lodge at the guests. The operators at the lodge had contacted Hunter who gave them permission to do what was necessary in order to protect people’s safety on the property. “The owl was destroyed,” said Hunter.

Hunter drove to Crescent Spur on Friday to in-vestigate the incident and collect the remains of the owl, which weighed about fi ve pounds, was un-injured and seemed healthy. The sex of the bird had not yet been determined. “It was a medium sized owl,” said Hunter. It is unlikely the owl had a dis-ease or illness that would explain the owl’s behav-iour or be of public concern.

While Hunter was unsure of the owl's species, a photo was sent to local bird expert, Bruce Wilkin-son, who identifi ed it as a Great Horned Owl. "It has all the markings for it," said Wilkinson. He commented he has heard of Great Horned Owls attacking the pom-poms on skier's hats, believing them to be small animals. He also mentioned the talons of a Great Horned Owl are extremely sharp.

“It’s not uncommon for different types of owls to swoop people, they are predatory type birds so they see movement and respond to it,” said Hunter. “I had to look around the property and nothing stuck out as an attractant.” He noted it was way to early for any nests for fl edglings at this time.

Hunter stated it was not unheard of for owls to attack people, although it is diffi cult to prevent at-

tacks out of the ordinary. Owls primarily feed on rodents like mice. Spilt grain on nearby railroad tracks may have attracted rodents and hence ex-plained the appearance of the owl, which had not been seen in the area before. “Kind of a rare, ran-dom occurrence,” admitted Hunter. “Wildlife is un-predictable.”

Most people know that starting the day with a good, healthy breakfast can make all the dif-

ference in a person’s work or school day.That’s why last fall, McBride Secondary’s student

council started offering a light breakfast on a daily basis to its student body.

“We have a little trolley that has a toaster on it, and put out bread, bagels and muffi ns, and the stu-dents help themselves,” said Carrie Krenzler, staff rep on the McBride student council.

Last October, the student council also decided to cook a hot breakfast for all the students once a month. Krenzler and another student council staff rep, Olivia Vizza, have been organizing the break-fasts as well as cooking the hot breakfasts.

“The fi rst one was quite simple, ham and eggs on an English muffi n with smoothies,” said Krenzler.

“It went over extremely well. We start cooking at 7 a.m., and the fi rst bus gets here at 7:50 a.m. We run the breakfast until the bell goes. The teachers have said that they see less behavioural things in the classrooms since we started offering breakfast.”

The two local grocery stores, IGA and AG Foods, have been donating ingredients for the hot break-fasts, as have some community members.

Just before Christmas, McBride residents Irene and Dennis Rejman helped cook pancakes for the students’ hot breakfast.

“It was fun,” said Irene Rejman.“The students really seem to enjoy it.”At the McBride Community Forest Corporation

board meeting on January 4, Irene Rejman suggest-ed to the board that the directors of the MCFC vol-unteer to cook at the school’s January hot breakfast.

“The board thought it was a good idea,” said MCFC Manager Marc von der Gonna.

So on January 19, von der Gonna and MCFC di-rectors Rick Thompson, Irene Rejman and Allan Frederick, cooked and served breakfast for about 90 McBride Secondary high school students. The MCFC also donated all the food for the breakfast, which was purchased locally.

“We served French toast with blue berries, whip cream and syrup, bacon, apple and or-ange juice, as well as hot chocolate,” said von der Gonna.

According to von der Gonna, the MCFC is also looking into doing something similar at the el-ementary school, perhaps complimenting the school’s hot lunch program.

If any business would like to volunteer to cook a hot breakfast for the McBride Secondary student body, they can contact the school at 250-569-2295.

Serving the Robson Valley since 1986

Dear Editor

It seems all but certain that Stephen Harper is set to hike the qualifying age for the Old Age Security (OAS) from 65 to 67. For our most vul-nerable seniors, that means they will go with-out $30,000 of much needed support for two additional years. For you, it may mean signifi-cantly altering your plans for retirement.

And you are not alone. Over the next 10 years, more than 4 million Canadians will be turning 65. Unless you are set to retire with an annual pension of over $112,000, Harper is telling you to rethink your plans.

Harper is blaming the baby-boomers. But as the retirement wave peaks in 2031, the in-crease spending on the OAS will only increase by 0.7% of Canada’s overall economy.

So why is Harper doing this? Because fun-damentally, Stephen Harper believes that the government should have no hand in helping seniors in their retirement, and no hand in helping Canadians plan for their retirement. He’s still the same guy who said the Canada Pension Plan should be scrapped back in 1998. Government involvement in the financial se-curity of Canadians stands counter to Harper’s

ideology.As Conservatives choose to take benefits

away from seniors, Liberals will continue to fight for balanced pension reforms that will ensure Canadians financial security in their retirement. Liberals will fight for a voluntary supplemental Canada Pension Plan that will provide a low-cost, high-return, universal op-tion that Canadians can rely on.

Hon. Judy Sgro, MP - Liberal Party Critic for Seniors and Pensions

Harper sets his sights on our pensions

Live longer, work longer

Prime Minister, Stephen Harper has a grand

plan. While addressing the World Economic Fo-rum in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday, January 26, Harper revealed he would change how Canadians fi-

nance their retirement. During his speech Harper expressed his concern for the economic influences of the country’s aging population. “If not addressed promptly, this has the capacity to undermine Can-ada’s economic position,” said Harper.

The boomers are retiring. We knew this was com-ing. Years ago I can remember sitting in a classroom, a teacher warning us that the biggest population demographic in history would put considerable strain on the economy when they retired. We need-ed to be prepared. It was suggested to us that if we didn’t plan for our own retirements there wouldn’t be much left for us after the boomers went through the system.

Many countries around the world have recently changed their retirement ages in response to not only an aging population but also a longer living population. According to Statistics Canada, the life expectancy for a man in 1960 was 68 years, for a woman it was 74 years. In 2002 the life expectancy for a man was 77 years and for a woman was 82 years. Currently men in British Columbia are ex-pected to live 79 years and women 84 years. Living and eating healthier has paid off for many of us, but the unexpected consequences would appear to be more time in the workforce rather than more time enjoying retirement.

What does retirement mean anyway? Some peo-ple associate retirement with death. For many years I worked in the office of a construction company and I knew a career backhoe operator who was looking forward to his retirement. With tragic irony this very skilled operator with at least 40 years of experience had a heart attack, while on one of our job sites, dying just a month shy of his retirement. What we plan and what actually happens can be two different things. I’ve heard stories of people falling ill shortly after retirement simply because they don’t know what to do with themselves.

Perhaps rather than looking forward to retiring, we should be adjusting our lives so that what we are do-ing is more enjoyable now. Look for solace and satis-faction now, rather than endure life in the hopes of finding enjoyment later. Personally, I’d rather look forward to the next day and enjoy the present, rather than hope for a day that may never come.

I think in the coming years we will find the con-cept of retirement re-imagined. The word “retire-ment” could have a completely different meaning in the future. Certainly, those of us aging behind the boomer population will have to continue to plan healthier and happier lives, as some of us will be working for much of it.

Thank you to everyone for the lovely cards, with their wonderful words, gifts, flowers and FOOD. A special thank you to the ladies who did the

beautiful cake. To my family for ALL their ‘behind my back’ activities, a very special

THANK YOU! The Robson Valley is a wonderful,

supportive place to live.~ Irma Brownlee

Winter is HERE!

Brookfield Power would like to remind you of the dangers that exist on rivers this time of year. Because river currents can weaken ice – especially backwater currents close to dams – it can be very dangerous to travel on rivers whether on foot, on snowmobile, on skates, on skis, or on all-terrain vehicles (ATV). Also, a dam’s control gates can be activated remotely and will cause unsafe conditions such as water level and river current changes.

Stay Safe! Brookfield Power wants to ensure that all of your outdoor recreational activities are positive and memorable experiences this winter.

Dear Editor:

I read Joe Nusse’s letter in the January 25th edition of the Rocky Mountain Goat with interest. I am al-ways interested in facts as they seem to be in such short supply these days. Sadly, despite his many as-sertions, I could discern only two facts about hyrdo capacity in Valemount in the letter: one, that we have a high transmission line from Kamloops and two, that we have a fi ve million dollar substation a few kilometres from town. I wish there had been more facts. I’d like to know, for instance, how many mega-watts are transmitted, and how many megawatts an industrial project might require, and if there is any discrepancy between those two numbers. I seem to remember (third hand, I admit) that the mill did have issues with hydro availability. Maybe some-body who has those facts could share them.

As to the rest of Joe’s letter, there were a number of un-facts that compelled me to respond.

Un-fact number one: Valemount and McBride do not exist on opposite ends, nor opposite sides, of a valley. McBride is in the Robson valley. Valemount is in the Canoe valley.

Un-fact number two: Valemount is an “irrelevant town.” Hmmm. Not to me it isn’t.

Un-fact number three: “projects are lining up now, the likes of which we could not have imagined.” Well, in fact, there is little in the “new” project list that has not been imagined before. The fact is that they have all proven, in the end, to be quite imagi-nary. They always seem to disappear once the high priced consultants and planners, re-branders, and developers have extracted the maximum amount of money from the government (local, provincial and/or federal). Of the new projects, the only people I’m pinning much hope on is the geothermal folks be-cause they seem to be quite willing to do their work themselves.

As to this “major mountain development that [Joe] has been engaged in initiating.” I’ve been to the website. I encourage others to visit it as well. The maps are especially interesting, even if a little vague. It appears that this mountain resort hopes to oper-ate in my watershed (and my huckleberry patch) though they have yet to invite me to one of the ex-clusive planning meetings. Like Valemount, my ir-

relevance is assumed.Not that I’m too worried. I fully expect that Vale-

mount’s new council will revisit the theoretical abundance that will fl ow to Valemount from a “2000 bed-units” base village “near” Valemount. I fully ex-pect that a council committed to community devel-opment (not just economic development) will be quite busy working on projects more compatible with a sustainable future for Valemount’s children and their children’s children. I fully expect that it will involve a diverse mix: health, education, recreation, geothermal power, logging, tourism, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, skiing, snowmobiling, ber-ry picking (and the protection of watersheds). It will probably involve helping (or at least not hindering) the slow and steady growth of independent, locally owned and operated businesses. It will probably in-volve modest, workable, grow-able projects under-taken by people who live here now and plan to live here later. It might not be especially grand but it won’t be imaginary ei-ther.

Maureen Brownlee - Valemount, BC

PS: I had to think long and hard to decide if I was just cranky because I wasn’t invited to any of the ‘secret’ meetings for the new resort. Was it all just sour grapes? Did I feel left out? In-deed, I do. Because I was left out. So were most of you. Valemount Glacier Destination Re-sort wasn’t interested in hearing from me. Or you. Joe is right about that. To them, to their imaginary investors and their imaginary inter-national clientele, Vale-mount is irrelevant.

Notice of Annual General MeetingPlease take notice that an Annual General Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Valemount Com-munity Forest Company Ltd. will be held Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 7:00 pm at the Village Council Chambers, 735 Cranberry Lake Road.

This meeting is open to the General Public.

Some residents of McBride, B.C. gave their dictionaries and minds a workout last weekend. The Mc-Bride and District Public Library hosted the fi rst McBride and Area Scrabble Tournament at 2 p.m.

on Saturday, January 27, 2012. Library Director Naomi Balla-Boudreau and her team helped organize the tourney in response to local requests.

“The Scrabble Tournament is an open, friendly, social event in “spellabration” of Family Literacy Day,” Balla-Boudreau said. The event was open to all ages and levels, and at start time, there were 16 participants keen to draw scrabble tiles and spell their way to a high score and victory.

Winners got on the McBride Scrabble Wall of Fame and have “bragging rights” until the next tournament.

Watch for future events from the Mc-Bride and District Pub-lic Library.

Tournament Results:Quadeina Stanley -

First placeLaverne Rommelg -

Best use of “Q” for the word Quad which was the highest word score.

Al Birnie - Longest word with the letter “Z” for the word Gazed.

Larry Stamm - Triple word score.

This game ended with a score of 28-16, with Valemount winning. The Valemount Junior Girls and McBride Ju-nior Girls both lost to Prince George’s Cedars Christian School, Cedars took home first place in the tournament winning all three of their games. The two teams won against the Fort St. James Junior Girls, so including this game Valemount won two out of their three games and McBride won one out of the three.

The Valemount Senior Girls played three games this weekend mixed in with the Junior tourna-ment. They played Fort St. James twice beating them both times, first with a score of 60-38, and then with a score of 63-38. They also played Jasper and won. During the Jasper game many of the Valemount Junior Girls recieved a lot of play time to help improve their abilities. McBride does not have a Senior Girls team this year because of a lack of players.

The fi nal score to this game was 36-29 in favour of McBride. Both McBride and Valemount beat Fort St. James and lost against the Cedars Junior Boys, from Prince George, B.C., who took home a fi rst place trophy. McBride’s win against Valemount brought them to a total of one loss and two wins, while Valemount’s loss to McBride brought them to a total of two losses and one win. Both teams had short benches. McBride’s lack of players led them to borrow some Valemount players for their fi rst game, and some Cedars boys for their second. They also threw a few McBride girls in the mix for their fi nal game against Valemount because Cedars had already left.

“Valemount Ladies Bonspiel”Above: Itchy bums can distract from the focus on the game.

A sizeable percentage of Valemount’s female population might have sounded a bit hoarse Sunday morning after screaming and grinding

their way through Saturday night’s events at the Ladies Only Curling Bon-spiel, and especially after the exotic male entertainment...Body Heat.

It was a full house upstairs of the curling rink, with 90 women, give or take, screaming and grinding, most of them “virgins” to ladies night. There was a little backlash in the community in response to the idea of male en-tertainment, but by my calculations, 90-some women is approximately 10 to 15 percent of Valemount’s population, and 18 to 30 percent of Vale-mount’s female population, that banded together under one roof, for the sole purpose of having fun, and we all know “girls just want to have fun.”

Never have I ever seen so many women come together in one place in Valemount, not to mention have such a wild time together. It was all in-clusive, both young and beautifully matured women, daughters, mothers, mother’s to be, grandmothers, sisters, coworkers, gay and straight, mostly there were just women everywhere, dancing together, and at times barely noticing the three male entertainers at all. The celebration was height-ened with the addition to the bonspiel of a few birthdays and one bach-elorette party!

Leading up to the big event it seemed like the men were talking about it more than the women. There were however no husbands, boyfriends, or pesky lovers present, and yet the event was partner sanctioned, with re-ports that most of the men in town encouraging their partners to go have fun with the girls. “How often do girls get to have a real girl’s night out?” asked one spectator Tara Boyda, that’s what makes this night so special. I heard on more than one occasion “it’s not about the guys, it’s about the women,” and “women should do this more often!”

At fi rst I wasn’t really comfortable with the objectifi cation, it seemed to me a bit like reverse misogyny, but as Caitlin Beddington pointed out, the “role reversal, is almost empowering. For one night, these guys have to entertain us.” I was soon won over by the show and the fact that women were doing something together and for themselves. In what can only be described as prolonged stripping foreplay, the whole thing was almost Broadway-like, with group dance numbers, skilful choreography, costume changes, acting, lights, smoke, music, and games of which the rules we cannot describe here. And we won’t name any names but there was a bit of a preshow from some local talent.

Thanks to the super organizational skills of Diana Piper, the bonspiel and ladies night was a huge success. So if you see Piper on the streets, she is apparently taking a lot of slack for organizing such an event, so let her know you appreciated the night out. And for those of you who didn’t go you can thank her for giving us something to talk about in the sleepy streets of Valemount this week. All I can say is girls, if you didn’t make it, you missed out, but on what exactly we’ll never tell. And yes, all the men had “great, big, smiles”.

ergising postures that aims to build a little heat in the body, while focusing on stretch, strength and breathing. It is designed so any level can attend. A donation is requested. Bring a yoga mat if you have one, if not there might be a few extra or improvise! Contact your certified Kripalu (compassionate in Sanskrit) yoga instructor, yogini Katrina Molendyk for more information. The style she teaches focuses on compassion for the body for what it allows you to do. Namaste.

Chinese New Year: Year of the Water DragonJanuary 23, 2012 was Chinese New Year, and at least two-dozen Robson

Valley locals took part in welcoming the year of the Black Water Dragon, which is sure to be a grandiose transformative year, as all dragon years are. However under the water element the normally bold extrovert dragon is a bit more subdued and thus it should be a more peaceful year. Traditionally dragon years are asso-ciated with new beginnings, good health, wealth and happiness. The Chinese believe that if you want to get married, have children or start a new business this is the best year to do it. So get pro-posing, conceiving and believing!

February 7 is a Full MoonThis month’s full moon is on February 7, and if

the snow stops for a day, so we can see the sky, it’s a perfect opportunity to play outside for the night, or maybe go for a moonlit snowmobile ride or cross-country ski!

Saturn Turns Retrograde Also on February 7 Saturn, the planet respon-

sible for responsibility and hard work, turns ret-rograde. This means it appears to stop its forward movement along its elliptical orbit around the sun and from our perspective on earth appears to be moving backwards. This is only an optical illu-sion but some astrologists believe when planets appear to be retrograde it creates challenges for us. Some say Saturn disciplines us until we can learn to disciple our selves, so challenges for in-stance might arise in the areas of self-control and limitation. Mars, the planet of physical energy, also went retrograde on January 24. If you’ve been feeling like nothing’s been going your way lately, don’t worry we’re supposed to adjust to the retro-grade energies soon!

Power Outage forces Valemount Council to Can-cel Meeting

A power outage on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, (a retrograde affect?) left Valemount’s mayor, coun-cillors, and more than a few village residents, who braved the weather, in the dark. In the black coun-cil chambers Mayor McCracken thanked everyone for coming out and closed the meeting. Local resi-

dent, Owen Torgerson, voiced his concern to Mayor McCracken that “this is unacceptable,” referring to the power outages that have been plaguing the vil-lage for years.

All agenda items will be carried forward to the next council meeting which will take place Tuesday, February 14, at 7:00 p.m. Here’s a novel idea, why not take your “valentine” out to the meeting for some, pre or post dinner, com-munity engagement!

Christ Centred Fellowship (non-denominational) for WomenOn the second Wednesday of every month join the Ladies of the Valemount

Community Church for a soup and sandwich at the Great Escape Restaurant at 12:30 p.m. The next date is February 8, 2012. The tab will be picked up by the Ladies of the Valemount Community Church. Donations are welcomed and tax receipted. Contact Barbara at 250-566-4021.

Wednesday Thursday saTurdayFriday sunday Monday

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Coming to better realize who are your true friends and what is most important in life is a current focus. This is a time when deep heart felt feelings are opening your mind and vice versa. Yet confl icts between how much you feel you give and receive may be an emerging issue. You would like to achieve a more bal-anced deal. Aim to achieve your goal, patiently yet surely.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)You stand to be commanding a lot of attention now. You are in an ambitious and expansive mood. To achieve your goals you may have to overcome a needy attitude and exercise full integrity. This implies a willingness to earn verses feeling you deserve. There remain some important skills you must learn involving changes in your perspectives before you can lay claim to greater success.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)Many new realizations are illuminating your mind. These are leading you to forge ahead in new ways. Yet, there remain some core issues that you must overcome. These are linked to home and/or family. Your willingness to do some real inner work to ‘clear stuff’ or actual renovations is ideal. Your sights are set and your focus is sharp so make use of this determined state of mind.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)You are ready to nurture new dreams. Yet to succeed you may have to take an inventive and collaborative approach. This will require that you do some research. Facing certain fears is part of the deal. There is nothing wrong or bad about having fears per se’, yet denying that you do will simply block progress. Identify and confront these blocks and you will prevail.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Increasing your social network continues. Ideally you are ready and willing to reach out and stretch as necessary. You may not feel as confi dent as you like yet with each realistic step you take your confi dence will rise. Take initiatives to ask, outline propos-als and negotiate. Balance deliberate action and patience with the outcome for best results.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)Sudden changes in your health linked to your lifestyle or the other way around are now in focus. You want to achieve better results and more abundance. Work with your powers of imagi-nation for best results, as in visualizing success. Yet, avoid mak-ing assumptions about what others can or will give to you. Rath-er, be willing to give more and invest as well.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)A creative wave is washing in. This will inspire your playful and romantic nature. Passionate urges could be well received. At worst, you will feel anger if despite all these feelings you feel un-able to enjoy or express them. If this is the case, Mars retrograde in Virgo may be worth further investigation for better under-standing and healing.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)Home and family remains a central focus. Safeguarding yours and the individuality of others is a priority. For the sake of love you are willing to make changes and adjustments. This may be activating innovation and invention. Visions of the future are directing your focus, yet are they realistic or are your actions to achieve them? Reality check!

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)A busy time with places to go and people to see and network with is a source of excitement now. Inspirations to advance are rising. Yet, are you leaning on the past? Ideally, you are open to learning new ideas, methods and skills. This can prove to be a very constructive time during which you acquire new knowl-edge and abilities.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)Consolidating your foundation is linked to making connections with key people. Tapping the creative resources of others can be a win/win deal. Yet, you may also sense an emerging urge to push for new levels of freedom. This trend will continue for a while, so get clear on what is implied. Aim to balance personal freedom with cooperative intentions.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)You are in the mood to assert new leads. Being focused yet keep-ing an open mind is ideal, yet could prove complicated. Your willingness to be open to new perceptions about yourself and others will help. Beware of jealousy; nobody can have or live anybody else’s life. Take the time to get clear on what you feel you genuinely need verses would simply like.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)A busy time behind the scenes continues. You may get called out, yet you want to get a lot done and so frivolous activity will leave you impatient. An activation of your ambitions is under-way. Some confusion about what you really want and need in relationships is part of the plot. Redirecting these energies to self-improvement over the next few months could prove very successful.

Death is an unavoidable constant in the uni-verse. Some of our earliest human records in-

dicate paying respect to those who have passed on is an enduring human legacy. However attending a memorial service or funeral isn’t always easy or simple. Thankfully we live in the digital age where such barriers as distance, weather conditions or illness are broken by the availability of streaming live video.

At 3 p.m. on Friday, January 27, North Thomp-son Funeral Services, broadcast their very first live memorial service over the Internet. The owners of the Clearwater, B.C. funeral home, are very enthusiastic about being able to pro-vide this service. “It means we can broadcast over the Internet, at no extra charge, every funeral service, every memorial service, ev-ery graveside service, up and down the whole valley,” said Drake Smith, co-owner of North Thompson Funeral Services.

AliveStreaming, an Internet company out of Sumas, Wash., approached Smith. With much experience in live streaming sporting events, Smith decided to take advantage of the com-pany’s knowledge and technology. The package included a computer with pre-loaded software, camera and audio equipment.

“Most funeral homes are not current with

technology. When approached with live streaming, I continue to hear them state, they don’t think their customers would see the val-ue. All the while, folks are buying smart phones and iPads,” said Dale Traber, President of Alive Streaming. “Drake Smith from North Thomp-son Funeral Services has broken the mould and embraced this technology. The first service Drake broadcasted over the Internet was on Friday and saw 35 connections; and there could easily be several viewers per connection.”

The camera focuses on the podium, from the perspective of sitting in the audience. “We are not trying to make a production out of it, rather an opportunity for people who may not be able to attend the service to watch and be part of it,” Smith explained.

While they are in the early stages of using this new technology, North Thompson Funeral Ser-vices plan to offer DVDs of live streamed me-morial services in the future. “We will start to address those ideas a little bit down the road,” said Smith.

While most people will want to continue to pay their respects in person, should weather or illness prevent personal attendance there is now an option for valley residents to partici-pate online.
