New program for those with arthritis

Submitted

September is Arthritis
Month in Canada, and the
Castlegar branch of The B.C
Arthritis Society is pleased to
announce a new. exercise pro-
gram designed for people
atfected by Canada’s most
common chronic disease.

“Not so long ago, it was
believed that people with
arthritis should move around
as little as possible,” said
Sandra Castle, health educa-
tion coordinator with The
Arthritis Society.

“But recent research has
Verified the benefits of exer
cise in dealing with this often
debilitating condition.’

In an exercise survey con
ducted by the society last
year, 94 per cent of respon
dents including arthritis
sufferers, fitness profession
als, family practitioners,
rheumatologists and physio:
therapists stressed the
importance of community -
based exercise classes
adapted for people with lim
ited mobility

The same survey indicated
that very few resources of

Since then, a group of fit-
ness instructors has been
trained in land- and water-
based recreational exercise
techniques, and a pilot project
has been successfully complet-
ed in nine B.C. communities.

“The test program was
very successful,” said Castle
“Participants looked forward
to attending the classes and
reported increased body flex-
ibility, muscle strength and
endurance.”

As a result of this positive
research, the Castlegar
branch of The Arthritis Soci-
ety is now holding an Arthrit-
ic Aqua Fit program at the
city Recreation Complex
every Tuesday and Thursday
from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

how to get involved in this
new form of arthritis therapy,

Lifelong friend. “Grand
Pa™ Bill Sookeroff, said that
Mary was thiilled to have
“all her dear friends hold her
hand and give her a sweet
smile and a nice hug.”

Mrs. Negraiff was a very
energetic and active membef
of the Seniors’ Association.
She never refused to help in
the kitchen, she was always
taking part in bake sales and
loved crafts and whist games.

Isabel Gerrard, president
of the seniors association
spoke eloquently about
Mary’s contribution to the
community and wished her
well as she move to, Win:

A fond farewell

ter, Dorothy Strang
The President of the
Doukhobor Benevolent Soci-
ety, Mr. Bill Zarikoff, told of
the help the Society received
from Mary including her
help in organizing the mem-
bers of the Society to apply
for a grant to purchase a
Bingo machine
Entertainment at the party

was provided by Mike Wynny-
chuk of Robson and Fred
Hoodikoff of Thrums while
Marilyn Verigin of Genelle
baked and decorated a deli-
cious cake. Many other seniors
helped in the kitchen and set-
ting up tables and chairs for
this special occasion. Besides
her many friends in Castlegar,
Mary’s son Dale Negraiff of
Regina and her Dorothy Strang
were also in attendance

Where there’s a will there’s a way

Will the wealth you’ve
accumulated during your
lifetime end up in the right
hands when you die?

The only way to be sure is to
have a properly prepared, and
regularly updated, will.
Whether you’re young and just
Starting to build assets or
you’re old enough to have
accumulated significant

wealth, a will should be the
comerstone of your estate plan.

A will is a legal document
that provides explicit instruc-
tions on how your estate will
be distributed when you die.
It can contain provisions
bequeathing assets to your
spouse, children, grandchil-

dren, or other relatives, as
well as to charities, friends,
or anyone else you choose.

When you have a proper
will, the. wealth you’ve
worked hard to build during
your lifetime will go where
you want it to go. Without a
will, however, you could be
laying the groundwork. for
financial disaster.

For example, if you don’t
havea will, you may assume
that your spouse will inherit
your entire estate when you
die. But that's. not the. case
Laws in all provinces automat
ically split your assets among
your spouse, children, and
sometimes even your siblings
or parents unless otherwise
specified in a will. If you're
single, your entire estate could
go to your parents.

Just as important as having
a will is ensuring it is up to
date. A will that doesn’t reflect
changes in your life or evolv-
ing legislation may cause
more problems than it solves.

Review your will annually,
as well as when your circum-
stances change significant-
ly—with a marriage or
divorce, birth of a child, a
new business deal, an inheri-
tance, or a sudden growth in
assets, for example.

Where should you go to
have a will prepared?
Although you can do your
own, a lawyer is your best
bet. A poorly prepared
will—especially one with
unclear instructions—can
result in legal problems.

An estate lawyer can

instruct you on the fundamen-
tals of estate planning, such
as minimizing taxes, as well
as prepare your will. If your
financial circumstances are
complex——for instance, if you
have considerable wealth,
own a business, or have off-
shore assets—you should
consider consulting a tax
lawyer or accountant before
having your will prepared.

Before you walk into- your
lawyer's office, think about
how you want your assets
distributed. You may want to
-bequeath property to certain
people or institutions, such
as a cottage to your children,
or your book collection to a
university. Or you may wish
to apportion percentages of
the value of your assets—
everything to your spouse or
a specified percentage to
each of your children.

Your will should also spec-
ify who will take care of
your young children if you
die. This is an issue worth
discussing with friends and
relatives before you visit
your lawyer.

You'll also have to choose
an executor, who will act on
your behalf to settle your
estate. You can appoint a
family member or close
associate as executor. Or, if
you require financial exper-
tise, you can appoint a trust
company.

Last, but certainly not
least, once you’ve prepared
your will let your beneficia-
ries know where it is kept. A
will that can’t be found is the
same as no will at all.
