The powell river Arts Council has funding available Any organization involved in arts cul-ture or heritage in Powell River is encouraged to apply for support of a local project said Arts Council director Ann nelson

the Powell River Arts Council is the voice for arts and culture in Powell River It was created three years ago to deliver any funding the City had for arts culture and heritage instead of dispersing those funds themselves there are two funding areas cash and in-kind use of civic properties

ldquothe first year we had a flood of ap-plications Some were funded some werenrsquot because they didnrsquot meet the criteriardquo said Ann

Funding is dispersed twice a year the next round of funding takes place in the spring

One benefit of membership is that the grouprsquos insurance policy covers any member group that puts on an event And it costs less than $50 a year to join the Arts Council

If you have questions about funding or need help with the application call 604 483-9345 or email infopowellriverartscouncilcom or visit wwwpowellriverartscouncilcom

how I became a bowyerThree days of fun and learning

By John Phillips

While enjoying two wonderful days of mu-sic and sunshine at the Sunshine Music

Festival I went into the booths between gigs I was amazed at the variety of displays and of

course great food And it was all local One such booth was run by Jamie MacDonald of Ravenbeak Natureworks and he was showing off his very fine bows and ar-rows This brought back memories of my boyhood when I tried many times to make a decent bow and arrow letrsquos just say they were not the best

Jamie was offering a three-day course on how to build your own bow so after admiring his fine workmanship I signed up The course started three weeks later on September 30 at his workshop on Lang Bay Road south of town

Omega-3s and the Winter Blues

You know how your emotions play a crucial role in your health overall One of the best and safest options for treating depression without a drug is increasing your intake of omega-3 fats

If this subject interests you I highly recom-mend Dr Stollrsquos book The Omega-3 Connection He is a Harvard psychia-trist who has done a great job of compiling the evidence sup-porting the use of omega-3s for treat-ing depression

Currently most Canadians are only getting a fifth of the omega-3s they need which is one major factor as to why depression has become such a widespread problem

In addition to omega-3s there are a number of other non-drug options for you if you suffer from depression More and more evidence is accumulating that for most people exercise is more power-ful than drugs in treating depression To truly help with the problem though ex-ercise should to be used like a drug and must be prescribed very carefully Going out for a simple walk after dinner will not likely provide as much benefit as a com-prehensive exercise strategy

Bright light exposure is also crucial to prevent SAD (seasonal affective disorder) and the use of full-spectrum lights in the winter is a vital tool in helping prevent this form of depression

All of these are better safer and healthier alternatives for treating depression than taking an antidepressant

The medicine Shoppe Pharmacy mdash Bringing you a better choice for

healthy living

What do chiropractic adjustments do

Probably the biggest chiropractic misconception revolves around the adjustment Naturally we think the adjustment is pretty special

Chiropractors understand that the underlying cause of many health problems is from nervous system disturbances in the spine This often shows up as one or more spinal bones that are stuck and not moving correctly Many think that a chiropractic adjustments puts the wayward bone back into its proper position

Actually bones are static structures They move when acted upon by a muscle and muscles only contract when com-manded by your nervous system Thatrsquos why chiropractic is actually about the quality of your nervous system

Your body does the healing The energy I supply with the adjustment just helps things along Repeated visits help retrain the muscles and with time your body can right itself

sociated with transferring money you currently have in savings accounts or other investments into your RRSP Second it may make sense to consider the benefits of an RRSP loan to take full advantage of the contribution room you have available

Through Solutions Bankingtrade you can take advan-tage of industrycompetitive RRSP loans that can help you make use of available contribution room and fast-forward RRSP Solutions Comprehensive your retirement planning This strategy is usually most ef-fective when the tax refund generated by your extra contribution is used to pay down the loan

Together we will explore the immediate tax savings and the potential for long-term tax-deferred growth through maximizing your RRSP contributions now and the appropriate strategy that makes sense for your own life call us

They say you canrsquot make up for lost time

Thatrsquos not necessarily the case with contributions to your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) Ca-nadians are allowed to carry forward unused RRSP contribution room and to make contributions to per-sonal RRSPs until the end of the year they reach age 71 So if you didnrsquot maximize your RRSP contribu-tions in the past you have the opportunity to fast for-ward your retirement plan by investing the full amount of your contribution limit which includes all of your unused contribution room Not only will you be sav-ing for your retirement but you may also receive a large tax deduction all at the same time

For example if the Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Assessment that you received after filing your pre-vious yearrsquos tax return advised that you could con-tribute $13000 for the current tax year but you only contributed $3000 you can still contribute the re-maining $10000 at any time Just consider for a mo-ment that if you make up for lost RRSP time sooner how much further ahead your retirement plan could be

❯ Assuming you have 20 years left to retirement the $10000 additional contribution could grow to $46600 on a pre-tax basis (assuming an average annual rate of return of 8)

❯ Plus if your marginal tax rate is 40 your $10000 contribution will generate immediate tax savings of $4000 Reinvest these savings in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) or use the savings to pay down debt and you will be even farther ahead fi-nancially Although it may seem difficult to find the money to catch-up there are a number of strat-egies to consider that can help fast-forward your retirement plan First there may be tax benefits as-

RRSP and TFSA Tips Helpful information you should knowWhen it comes to investing for your Retirement Registered Retirement Savings plans (RRSP) and Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSA) are a good place to start The combined benefits of reducing taxable income in the present (RRSP) tax-sheltered compound investment returns over the long term (both the RRSP and TFSA) and tax free retirement income in the future (TFSA) can be a powerful combination RRSP TFSA or both - can provide a compelling reason for investors to make the most of these savings plans

There are a number of strategies you can use that will help you realize the full wealth-building potential that these plans can provide

Start as early as you can Yoursquove likely seen the numbers before but it is worth repeating the sooner you start investing the better (Money) X (growth) X (of years) = a good retirement or nest egg

Maximize your contributions Maximize your contributions each year to make the most of tax-deferred compound investment returns With the Registered Retirement Savings Plan consider an RRSP loan if you donrsquot have the cash and then pay it down when you receive your refund each year With the Tax Free Savings Account you can contribute any amount up to $5000 per year If you need to withdraw the money you can add it back in the following year Your Tax Free Savings Account limit is now $20000

Pay yourself first Consider contributions to your retirement through convenient automatic withdrawals from your chequing account If you are a mutual funds investor a pre-authorized contribution (PAC) plan will allow you to contribute as little as $25 at a time into a mutual fund thatrsquos right for you A PAC plan lets you take advantage of dollar-cost-averaging a strategy that can help lower investment risk by automatically buying fewer units when prices are high and more units when prices are low You can set up a PAC plan into both RRSPs and TFSAs Both the

RRSP and the TFSA can hold a variety of investments such as mutual funds segregated funds stocks and bonds

Consolidate your investments If you are the type of investor who doesnrsquot want to spend a great deal of time managing multiple investment accounts then you should consider consolidating your holdings with one advisor By consolidating all your RRSPs TFSAs etc with one advisor you can still invest in many different types of investment accounts and it will make it easier to adjust your investment strategy as your financial situation changes over the years

To make the most of your retirement savings itrsquos important that you consider seeking professional advice Research shows that investors who seek professional help tend to do better in the long run than those who donrsquot Not only will your advisor help you build a well-diversified investment portfolio that can help you reduce risk they can continue to counsel you on the best ways to respond to changes in the financial markets over time At Westview Agencies we are committed to our clientsrsquo successful retirement We help you put the pieces together through Investments such as Mutual Funds Segregated Funds and GICs as well as Life Insurance including Living Benefits and much much more
