TRANSCRIPT
Help Needed
Vern and Candace Snively have lost their Brisco home to a devastating fire. They have been left with nothing, no home, no clothes, no belongings and nowhere to go. This is a chance for the Columbia Valley to open our hearts to help. There will be a silent auction on May 13 at the Brisco Hall from 6 to 10 pm. Donate auction items or cash by calling Tess at 250-341-7264 or by emailing [email protected]. Or you can donate directly by going to www.gofundme.com/vern-and-candace-brisco-house-fire.
Easter Egg Hunt Saturday
Easter brings some good times. The Easter Bunny gets around. All kids 12 and under are invited to bring their own basket to the Easter Egg Hunt at Kinsmen Beach this Saturday, April 15. It begins at 10 am sharp! There will be lots of fun. Volunteer Bunnies are needed to help the Easter Bunny hide treats Saturday morning from 8 to 9 am. Please call or text Theresa at 250-688-9663 or you can email her at [email protected].
They Don’t Mix
Alcohol and calculus just do not mix. You should never drink and derive.
Easter Brunch
Who doesn’t love a great brunch? I love food and ‘The Grill’ at Windermere Valley Golf Course has great food. They will be serving up an Easter Brunch this Sunday, April 15, from 10 am to 2 pm. It will be loaded with an awesome variety of breakfast and lunch items that will meet your tummy’s needs. Odds are very good you will see me there. I hope to see you. Reservations are sug-gested by calling them at 250-342-3004.
Valley Forged Live
Check out some great live music in Fair-mont this weekend. Local rock stars ‘Valley Forged’ will be performing at the Farside Pub on both Friday and Saturday evenings (April 14 and 15) beginning at 9 pm. There is no cover charge so admission is free. Come on out and have a great time both evenings with some great music and lots of friends socializing.

Easter Church Services
The Christian Alliance Church has a nice mix of services through the Easter week-end. This Friday, April 14 at 7 pm is a ser-vice at the Church, just behind Sobeys. Good Friday is when Christ was crucified. On Sunday there is a ‘SonRise’ service at 7:30 am at Kinsmen Beach. It is always a wonderful service. Easter Sunday cele-brates the resurrection of Christ. They also have their regular in-Church service Sunday at 10:30 am. We have been discussing practical applications in today’s society form the book of James in the Bible. It has been very enlightening. Everyone is welcome to any and all of the services.

Robservations
Easter weekend is upon us. It is a late one this year which causes many folks to won-der how we decide when to have Easter. Well, here it is. Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox. This allows for a very wide range (pretty much a month) of possibilities for the date due waiting for a full moon. This year, the Equinox was March 21 and the next full moon is this Tuesday evening (April 11). That makes this weekend Easter weekend. Remember the real meaning of Easter. It is a very important Christian celebration around the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Enjoy some time with your family. Love is important, more important than anything. Showing someone that you love them will make a huge difference in any life, includ-ing yours. Have some fun, eat well and play safe this weekend. Be nice to our visitors as we get a preview of the busy season. Have a happy Easter.
Particles
Scientists claim that the Universe is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. It seems that part of my Universe is made up of morons.
Big Band Dance
The David Thompson Secondary School stage band is hosting the 34th Annual Big Band Dance on Saturday, April 29 at the Invermere Community Hall. This is an incredible evening out as Greg Constable has led these young adults to be fantastic musicians. You will be tapping your toes right off the bat as the music they play is fun and familiar. The evening includes a light buffet and a lot of dancing. Get your tickets soon! This one will sell out. Tickets are advance only ($25) at Lambert-Kipp Pharmacy, Majestic U-Brew, from any band student or by calling 250-342-9213, ext. 4503.

Watson’s
Waddle
I am really loving the w e a t h e r these days. With the snow gone our walks have really expanded beyond staying on the streets that have been plowed. That was a tough winter for active dogs and their owners. Now we are finding all kinds of new places out there. It is fantastic to find all the strange new scents, sights and sounds. Rob is taking me to lots of great spots. One thing to remember this time of year is ticks. It is the start of tick season. We have been doing lots of walks in the bush and around hiking trails which really exposes us to ticks. With my short legs I am drag-ging along the ground a bit so I am an easy target. The beauty of this is that Rob really checks me over well when we get home from a walk. I mean he is always very touchy and loving but after a walk these days I get a 100% full body rub down. I love it. I hope all you dog owners are doing the same thing. Rest assured that your pets love being loved and a good rubdown for ticks qualifies as true love.
Mutt
My dog barked at everyone and everything yesterday. Apparently he really is a cross breed.
What Year Was It?
Shirley Temple was born, Mickey Mouse made his first television appearance as ‘Steamboat Willie’ in a clip by Disney titled ‘Plane Crazy’ and Alexander Fleming dis-covered penicillin, beginning the age of antibiotics. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent were established, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to cross the Atlan-tic by plane (as a passenger) and the first Yo-Yo factory was built in California. What year was it? See page 9.

Happy Easter
My local buddy asked what my plans are for the Easter weekend. “Same as Jesus,” I replied. I’m taking off Friday and coming back on Monday.”
The Thrifty Reporter
It is Easter and along with Easter one thinks of spring. I love spring and the sight-ing of the tulips popping up in the flower beds. Yes it will be a few weeks before flowers actually start appearing but I know I can go to the Invermere Thrift Store and buy artifi-cial flowers as well as lots of Easter items... anything from fuzzy bunnies to Easter baskets! This will hold me over un-der the outside flowers are in bloom. Hours during Easter are Thursday 10-4, Good Friday 1-4 and Saturday 10-4. Wishing everybody an Easter filled with love, peace and the joy of spring.

They are looking for staff in this area. The jobs involve supporting different folks in community and employment situations. Sometimes it is just going for a coffee or to an event while other times it might be sup-porting a person with a disability at a job or volunteer position. Generally it is fun and very fulfilling. Plus the pay is pretty decent. I have been doing some of it and really enjoy it. Call 250-426-9066 for more information.
It Was That Year
(From page 4) In 1928, the Iron Lung was invented, bubble gum was invented by Double Bubble, the first home pregnancy test was distributed and the first colour television transmission took place.
Tough Meal
I just ate a pocket calculator. I have always believed that it is what is on the inside that counts.

COVERS
Did you know that: 90% of heat=energy is lost
through your hot tub cover?
A cover with rips or tears or one that
doesn’t have a tight fit is extremely
inefficient.
When your cover gets heavy it is
retaining moisture and therefore
not as efficient.
