Joanne Monner Continued from page Book Recommendations from Chinook Arch DONATIONS Amy Genesis of is reading The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner, “one grump’s search for the happiest places in the world.” This guy reminds me of a younger Bill Bryson—and I’m not just saying that because the back of the book makes that same comparison. .1 find myself laughing out loud with Weiner’s book as much as I did with Bry­son’s The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid: A Memoir. Weiner travels to various coun­tries asking people what happi­ness means in their culture. It’s an easy, fun read with deep thoughts to consider. .or not! And it’s giving me the travel bug!

More than a dozen relatives searched the forest and shoreline, and everyone was relieved when we found Matthew playing calmly in the woods. "Listen to me, Matthew," his mother said sharply. "From now on when you want to go someplace, you tell Mommy first, okay?" Matthew thought about that for a moment and said, "Okay. Disney World." I was getting ready for a tag sale one summer day. Since it was so humid out, I decided to stay inside my air-conditioned house and mark the special stickers I had bought for the sale. Then I slapped them on my blouse, ran outside, stuck them on the appropriate items and rushed back inside. I did this until every item was labeled. Later that day a UPS man came by the house with a delivery. I noticed that as I was signing for the package, he seemed ill at ease. It was only after he left that I noticed there was one sticker still attached to the front of my blouse. It read "Make me an offer." While in the men's room at a beach park in Florida, I noticed they had a plastic baby­changing table installed on the wall. Apparently, some sportsmen had co-opted this politically correct amenity for their own use. Above the table was a sign saying: "It is unlawful to clean fish on this table." Before heading on vacation, I went to a tanning salon. I was under the lights so long the protective eye shades I wore left a big white circle around each eye. Gazing at myself in the mirror the next day, I thought, "Man, I look like a clown." I had almost convinced myself I was overreacting -- until I was in line at the grocery store. I felt a tug at my shirt and looked down to see a toddler staring up at me, "Are you giving out balloons?" he asked. Our first day at a resort my wife and I decided to hit the beach. When I went back to our room to get something to drink, one of the hotel maids was making our bed. I grabbed my cooler and was on my way out when I paused and asked, "Can we drink beer on the beach?" "Sure," she said, "but I have to finish the rest of the rooms first." Visiting his parents' retirement village in Florida, my middle-aged friend, Tim, went for a swim in the community pool while his elderly father took a walk. Tim struck up a conversation with the only other person in the pool, a five-year- old boy. After a while, Tim's father returned from his walk and called out, "I'm ready to leave." Tim then turned to his new friend and announced that he had to leave because his father was calling. Astonished, the wide-eyed little boy cried, "You're a kid?"G.D.'s REPAIR 1 4 Licensed Automotive Technician ■4 Friendly Reliable Service 4 Maintenance & Repairs -4 ALL your Mechanical needs Call Gerald Deitz: 599-2354 Or 599-2464 m iMAge.

Organizing Committee of Berrywater 100 Year CelebrationCurly buys an E-Reader My new Toy arrives! My new Kobo (the Canadian E- Reader for indigo/Chapters) finally arrived! To be fair, it actually arrived almost a full month ahead of the promise date. So, where to begin? kobo Packaging was fine, and the simple setup instructions reminded me very much of the Sirius satellite radio I purchased soon after moving to Happy Acres. I looked at minimal clutter, and a couple of instructions per panel on the Quick Start fold out. Just take the included USB cable, plug the Kobo into your computer, and load the software. That process took about 5 minutes, and left me with a Kobo icon on my desktop. Meanwhile, you are advised to leave the Kobo plugged in until the red light shows in the upper left — indicating that the unit has a full charge. I couldn’t see any light (can you in the image above?), but plugged it in and hoped for the best. Click on the desktop icon, and you are taken to the Indigo/Chapters Kobo website. I quickly set up an account using my VISA, and began to shop for books. Browsing is easy. The selection is stunning, with prices from $1.49 to about $25, depending on size and whether or not the book is available as paper hard cover, or paperback. As we know, the paperback stuff is about 6 months to a year behind the hard cover, so the pricing spread makes sense. The first thing to know is that bargains don’t really exist for the E- Reader owner. Even my copy of Alistair MacLean’s HMS Ulysses cost me about *10! In theory you are paying for the mobility and the variety of text size and font in which you can enjoy the book. Now I did buy a cheesy science fiction piece for that $1.49, and it was worth almost what I paid for it. I also purchased a novel by Kathy Reichs, whose works are the basis for the TV series Bones. This is the way the E-Reader is supposed to improve your life - you decide you are interested in a subject or author, and (before the TV show is over, for example) minutes later you are reading. Buying is hard & confusing. Now I’m no techno-peasant. I have 3 laptops and a desktop, and shop on line for most of my software and a few other items, more now that we live in the thriving metropolis of Queenstown. So I am used to the type of interface a shopper normally gets. The supermarket analogy is pretty standard - you have a virtual shopping cart and lurch around the website picking things up and putting them in your shopping cart. When you are finished shopping, you click on ‘proceed to checkout’ or something like it, and your items are listed down and a total provided. You now have the option to de-select items (just like at the real grocery store, when Honey Bunny finds the extra package of bacon) and pay for your stuff. So - NO shopping cart, NO proceed to checkout - none of the standard interface items I am used to. In fact, I had to purchase each book separately. The little picture on the site of ‘my library’ with some books on the shelves did change to show my first purchase, but not the next 2. Minutes later I had 3 new dents in my VISA, and absolutely no idea what had happened, or what to do next. So after clicking around for a couple of minutes and accomplishing nothing, I do what all good nerds my age do -1 logged off the site, hit Google, typed in ‘Kobo user problems’ and hoped the biogosphere would help me. I found I was not alone. In fact I found that I was barely getting to the hard stuff! I learned that most accomplished owners were in fact using other software available on the Web to manage the device. The typical posting was by someone who had purchased the Kobo as a gift for a parent (Mother’s Day just being over- thank goodness I didn’t get my Mom one yet) and were now managing all aspects of the device except the actual reading. This is not good news. The other scary note is that the Black Hats (remember, White Hats are the good nerds, and Black Hats the bad ones) were crowing about the ease with which the device could be hacked! Now my Kobo was a potential danger to my computers! I did learn that I had to actually click on my library before I clicked on ‘update library’ before my purchases would be moved from the website to my PC. But at no time did it tell me where those files would be stored on my computer -1 still haven’t foundCurly buys an E-Reader them. Below is a picture of my 'updated' library on the site. Meanwhile, back beside my PC, a red light appeared under surface of my Kobo. Did I mention that the red and blue lights you are supposed to watch for are invisible initially? They are, and it does not make for a confident first few minutes as you review the features. Again after some trial and much error, I discovered that you must have your Kobo plugged in to the computer, log back on to the website, click on your library, and then (on your PC screen) click Sync, to synchronize your Kobo with your recently purchased items. As soon as you plug the Kobo into the PC all the controls on the device go dead. This is probably a good thing, because if you click the Sync feature on the E-Reader itself, it triggers a bunch of Bluetooth stuff. So Sync means two completely different things on your PC and the Kobo. On my trip to the blogosphere I had also picked up some tips for using the actual E-Reader, so setting time and date (why your book needs to know the time is beyond me) was pretty straightforward. But it’s all about the READING. Would I ever get to actually read a book, and would it be fun? The answers are Yes, and OH YEAH! Here is where the real potential of the item tells me that it will just be a matter of time and working out some bugs. I still remember plunking down way too much money for my first Sony Walkman - FM with cassette, and a pair of upgraded ear buds. Why did I spend all that money? Because I had listened to a friend’s Walkman, and was just blown away by the sound quality. The fact that it was the size of a small brick compared with today’s IPOD was irrelevant, because it was not today, it was 30 years ago and at the time re-defined personal stereo enjoyment. The listening experience defined the device. As with the Walkman and then the IPOD, the reading experience actually defines the device - and the reading experience is wonderful. After a few pages, you find yourself wondering how you put up with turning paper pages all these years. Reading multiple books at once is easy, because the Kobo always remembers where you were in each book. If you are only reading one book, hit the power switch and you go directly to the page you were on when you stopped. If you have 3 books on the go for example, you are taken to the 'I’m reading’ screen, where you can click on the book you would like to enjoy. Another 'feature' that may not appeal to some - when you power down the Kobo, the cover image of whatever you were reading stays on the screen. So while you may look like quite the intellectual clicking pages, the cheesy romance (or whatever) is left for ail to see when you power down. Why not just the Kobo logo? Button fatigue may be a problem Again, the whole experience is basically driven by the square multifunction switch on the face of the Kobo. Click on the right side to move to the next page, click on the left side to move back a page. You can increase or decrease the font size in the middle of any page at any point in a book with an up or down click on the same control. So this switch should be robust and reliable, because you will use it literally hundreds of times to read every book. After a week of use, the square button is not worn out, but I end up clicking on the right side TWICE to advance a page about 50% of the time. I dove back into the Blogosphere, and again found that my ownership experience was common. No one has reported a complete failure, but lots of owners are concerned. In my opinion this crucial part of the device has been under-engineered to meet a price point. It’s kind of like having the steering wheel on your car feel cheap and bendable in your hands, then stick every other time you use it to turn! The rest of the car might be perfect, but you can’t feel that. (The Japanese car manufacturers gained a lot of market share in North America by concentrating on the 'feel' of switches and controls, knowing that this is the essence of the driving experience.) So that is where things stand at the moment - truly a mixed bag. My recommendation is to wait - this product has a bunch of potential, but needs a lot of work on the details to make it what we would all like an E- Reader to be. I’m going to do some more research into other models - the Sony, the Kindle, and the I-Pad, and will be back to you in an upcoming issue. I hope you’ve enjoyed the review, and learned through my experience. See you at the library!

There is no way I would attempt this test, without Internet to look up the answers, even then it would take me more than the allowable time. For that matter, I got kicked out of school when I was in grade 6 for not shaving, too big for my seat, intoxicated most of the time and the only passes I made was at the middle aged teachers, which, were younger than I was.

"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup." "No" he said "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near a window?"

Joanne Monner Box 44 Milo, AB TOL 1L0 Dear Joanne, There are few days in the year that make us more proud as parents than the Annual Terry Fox Run. We watch in awe and admiration as our incredible team of volunteers in more than 900 communities across Canada brings Terry’s vision and mission to life. It is a special and inspirational day for so many people, including the thousands of cancer patients and their families for whom hope is essential. And, thanks to you, The Terry Fox Run is all about hope. A simple thank you for the remarkable work you do as Run Organizer in Milo does not seem adequate when we realize the tremendous impact Terry Fox funds have made over the past three decades. Terry’s call to action in 1980, asking $1 from every Canadian, has been answered more than 400 million times. These dollars have allowed the Foundation to fund research into a variety of forms of cancer, including lung, breast, brain, prostate, ovarian, and so many more. Your contribution as a Terry Foxer is spread widely across the research spectrum, and has a vital impact on the brilliant work of Canadian researchers. You are the living embodiment of Terry’s dream; you give us reason to hope every day for the fulfillment of that dream. Thank you so much for making the Foundation a special part of your life. We look forward to commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the Marathon of Hope with you in 2010. ________________________The Terry Fox Foundation®________________________ Suite 303, 46167 Yale Road, Chilliwack, BC V2P 2P2 Tel: [phone] Fax: [phone] [e-mail] web: www.terryfoxrun.orgwww.tfri.ca Betty and Roily Fox fOUNDArio* 01MER research c(.mcer RROfA P.S.

Let's put the seniors in jail, and the criminals in a nursing home. This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies, and walks, they'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc. and they'd receive money instead of paying it out. They wouid have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly ,if they fell, or needed assistance. Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing wouid be ironed and returned to them. A guard would check on them every 20 minutes, and bring their meals and snacks to their celi. They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose. They would have access to a library, weight room,spiritual counselling, pool, and education. Simple clothing , shoes, slippers, PJ.'s and legal aid would be free, on request. Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard ,with gardens. Each senior could have a P.C. a T.V. radio, and daily phone calls. There wouid be a board of directors , to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct, that would be strictly adhered to. The "criminals" would get cold food, be left ail alone, and unsupervised. lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week.
