by Dr. Warren Gage
Poop for great health
Constipation is a common problem that many people shy away from discussing. However, having proper, regular bowel movements is a requirement for good health and should not be such a taboo topic. If a person is experiencing constipation, there are a number of ways to help get the bowels moving. One of the first actions to help the bowel is to ensure adequate intake of fibre. Every meal should contain fibrous foods such as cauliflower, broccoli, flax and chia seeds, berries and avocado. Fibre’s purpose is to move waste through the bowel and it attracts water to soften the contents. Consuming extra probiotics to ensure a healthy balance of the “good” bacteria in the digestive system is essential. If you don’t believe probiotics are important you need to understand there are more bacteria cells in your intestine than there are cells in your entire body! With so many bacteria in the gut, if they are the wrong types, your bowel and overall health will suffer. To build up the healthy bacteria consume unpasteurized fermented foods such as Kefir and sauerkraut. If those foods aren’t appealing then consume live culture yogurts or take a probiotic supplement regularly. Drink plenty of water! The bowel is where the majority of water exchange occurs so when you are dehydrated, the bowel will slow and back up. Adding a dash of himalayan salt to warm or room temperature water will also aid in absorption. Stand, don’t sit during your day.
Sitting tends to compress the abdomen and can slow down the movement in your organs. Getting up standing and walking will aid in the movement of food through your digestive tract. Adding herbs and spices to food will help the organs of digestion and elimination. Some of the spices that are beneficial for this include turmeric, ginger, cayenne, black pepper, oregano, rosemary and cloves. Another item to consume is apple cider vinegar as it helps with the production of stomach acid. Healthy levels of acid in the stomach play a large role in proper digestion and breaking down of foods before they enter the intestine. A tablespoon into warm water first thing in the morning will aide in removing toxins and flushing your system. Take a magnesium supplement because it is a muscle and nerve relaxant. It will help constipation as well as anxiety and stress in the body. It also is a natural stool softener. Finally, get adjusted by your chiropractor. The nervous system controls all aspects of bowel function. If there are vertebral subluxations interfering with the transmission of messages from your brain to the bowel all of the above strategies will be of less benefit. Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor who can help your nervous system function at its best and can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

FROM EDEN CLINICAL COUNSELLING
by Zoe Olson, MA RCC
Let the child cry
Our culture is laden with both overt and covert messages to children about emotions. We tell them they’re fine when they display emotion, that they are not babies anymore and thus should not cry. We tell our boys to suck it up and our girls to stop being whiney. The truth is, that it is often what is going on for parents or caregivers internally that gives rise to the discomfort with children displaying emotion. When we do not display a full spectrum of emotions ourselves in a healthy way and are not vulnerable to others with how we are really doing, how can we be comfortable with a child who is throwing a fit in the grocery store, or crying because his best friend did not invite him to a birthday party. It can be uncomfortable to truly enter into a child’s experience and practice empathy and validation for their feelings – regardless of how we feel. Research displays that tears have important functions, such as stress hormone release as well as signalling the body to emotionally regulate. When we interrupt a child’s emotional cycle, we interrupt their brain’s attempts to learn how to regulate. A child’s brain is not yet wired like an adult’s. Their emotional regulation centres in the prefrontal cortex are not there yet. They need a lot of practice to learn appropriate regulation skills while their brains develop. The next time you find yourself with a child experiencing an emotional response you find intense and uncomfortable, I invite you to examine how emotions were handled with you as a child. This often frames how we respond to children once we are adults. Hold space for the child to ride out their emotional wave, while providing validation and comfort if possible.
We wish to thank the kind lady who left money at PJ’s cafe to pay for veterans’ meals on November 11th. Thank you! - HE & ME

Looking back through history:
PUBLISHER SPENDS NIGHT IN NEW JAIL In 1998, the Shuswap Rotary Club decided to have a Jail Without Bail contest and sell tickets on who should spend the first night in the jail of the new RCMP detachment. At a loonie a vote, they raised almost $2,000 from the public for Rotary projects in the community. Rotarians were actively selling votes in Piccadilly Place Mall. The person with the most votes got to spend the night in a jail cell. These are the results of voting: Sally Scales of Shoppers’ Guide, 551. Bill Van Bergeyk of Federated C-op, 462. Frank Popien of McDonald’s. 459. Mayor Colin Mayes, 333. Ken Watkins, senior high principal, 171. PRISONER #1 PICKED UP FROM OFFICE Jail Without Bail for yours truly, Shoppers’ Guide publisher Sally Scales, took place on Friday, Dec. 4, 1998. I was dressed in a staff member’s Halloween costume, a striped prisoner’s garb, complete with cap. Two cops in a police car came to the office for me late in the afternoon: Cpl Phil Sommerveille and Cpl Daryl Hughes. They clasped handcuffs behind me and shoved me into the back seat of the car for a ride to the new detachment up on the hill. I WAS FINGERPRINTED AND PHOTOGRAPHED The police car drove into the secure entrance to the jail, and the door closed behind it. Once inside, the handcuffs were taken off. I was fingerprinted and photographed, a police file on me was opened, and then I was escorted to a two-person cell. It was bare. Two concrete beds, a toilet and sink. I brought along a sleeping bag and pillow, as instructed by Rotarians. I was not alone, as over 20 others spent the night in jail, too, because someone paid $25 for the privilege. The money was used to provide a Christmas hamper, clothing and gifts for two local families. In past years, RCMP members contributed $30 to make Christmas brighter for others, but this year the money came from the jailbird hotel. Most jailbirds were men, and they sat around the main entrance with the staff most of the night, eating pizza and washing it down. The RCMP cooked breakfast Saturday morning, and I had a special treat: perogies and sour cream. *********** POPPIES SALES IN CANADA WERE DOWN 50 PER CENT CBC Radio reported the morning on Nov. 11 that
poppy sales across Canada were only half the amount they were last year. One reason was the shooting at the war memorial last year. Another might be the increasing age of veterans, and the shortage of volunteers to sell poppies. THE SUN SHONE AT SALMON ARM’S CEREMONY The Remembrance Day ceremony on Nov. 11 at the cenotaph in Salmon Arm was early and punctual. The march from the Legion arrived early and everyone was present around the cenotaph at 10:45 a.m. so the service began. After major wreaths were placed by 11:15, the master of ceremonies invited family members to place their wreaths. It was +5ºC and the sun shone during the entire morning. However, at 2 p.m. a cloud came over Salmon Arm, the wind blew and snow fell for a few minutes. FIDDLER SUE AYLARD JOINS COD GONE WILD Cod Gone Wild recently bid farewell to bandmate Ajuli Otter, who relocated to Saskatchewan. Sue Aylard caught the band at a Shuswap Lake Festival of the Arts Concert in the summer, auditioned and was brought on board. The band feels fortunate to find someone locally to join them and represent this region as they travel and share their music. Cod Gone Wild will be at Notch Hill Hall with two shows on Nov. 27 and 28. The Cods performed two soldout shows there in the last two years. Tickets are $20, available at The Lighthouse Market in Sorrento or Acorn Music, 122 Lakeshore Drive, Salmon Arm, or by emailing andrew@codgonewild.com. Doors open at 7:00 p.m., show time is 7:30. Concession will be available. LOCAL MAN’S WIFE WRITES BOOK ABOUT LIVER TRANSPLANT JOURNEY Kevin Edwards was born and educated in Sicamous, and took grades 11 and 12 in Salmon Arm, graduating in 1992 from Salmon Arm Senior Secondary. After Okanagan College he went on to University of Victoria, where he met Christine Jowett from Belleville, Ontario. Christine and Kevin are married and have two children, Kyle, 10 and Sarah, 8. Christine developed Chronic Autoimmune Hepatitis at age 13. This illness didn’t prevent her from attending school and graduating from the University of Victoria with a BSc in Kinesiology. She went on to become a cardiology nurse at St. Mary’s Hospital in Kitchener, ON, where she and her family currently reside. Over the years Christine’s disease slowly progressed and after living with the hepatitis for 26 years it finally caused enough damage to her liver to became life-threatening. In July of 2013, she went from being a nurse caring for her patients to being a patient herself. At 41 years of age, it still remains a mystery as to why she developed Chronic Autoimmune Hepatitis, a disease that for so long through her life she was able to manage with few medications. “Life Goes On – Journey of a Liver Transplant Recipient,” is a book of the moving story of her life, which tells of her sickness, facing the possibility of losing her family, and the struggle to regain the normality of life after her operation. After the death of an anonymous hero, Christine was given the ultimate gift of life, a healthy organ. Her book-on-demand is available from the publisher,
Friesen Press in Victoria. It can be ordered online at http://www.friesenpress.com/bookstore or other major online bookstore retailers. Christine can be contacted at cjowett17@hotmail.com or you can read about her at www.christinejowett.com. She hopes more people register to be an organ donor because one organ donor can save up to eight lives. Go to www.transplant.bc.ca or register at BC Access Centre. SECOND MHP MEETING PLANNED FOR SAT. DEC. 5 Twenty-two people from mobile home parks were at a meeting Sunday, Nov. 15 to discuss problems with management. No names of bullying managers or MHPs were used. A solution might be to gather residents and meet with their manager. Another might be to pay monthly fees every month, not post-dated for a year. One resident said there is a provincial Manufactured Home Park tenancy act and regulations with rules, but there is no enforcement. A lawyer said a resident cannot be legally evicted. Another lawyer said it is possible for residents to do a class action lawsuit. Residents agreed to speak to one another, plan a solution, and meet again on Sat., Dec. 5 at 2:30 p.m. at the Anglican Church hall, 170 Shuswap St. It’s only for residents, not MHP managers or owners. The group would like a lawyer or other professional to be there to advise them; if you can be there, write to me at sallys1@telus. net. CONGRATULATIONS ON TURNING 90, JACK STEAD This weekend will see a great celebration for Jack Stead’s 90th birthday when the extended family meets in Salmon Arm.

SENIOR MEN PLAY CHESS AT THE LIBRARY A noisy clatter was heard at a table in the Okanagan library in Piccadilly the other day when I was reading a newspaper while my car was getting new winter tires. Before I left, I stopped at the table and asked what they were doing. Playing chess. Did I want to play? No, I write a newspaper column. Oh, well they are the chess group from 5th Ave Seniors Centre where they play every Wednesday at 6 p.m. Anyone who wishes can come to the library at 2 p.m. on Friday and play. You can bring your own chess set or use the library’s that is on one table, but the seniors said the chess set is too high. WHEN MARIJUANA IS LEGALIZED, I WILL TRY IT There are predictions that when marijuana is legalized, those who haven’t tried it, will. Global TV reports that there are also predictions that those who supply medical marijuana will be opening their doors to anyone who wants to try it.

Ol’ Mall Arkey is back!
Oh no! Not a column from Old Mall Arkey! I thought we were rid of the old reprobate! No such luck. Old Mall Arkey’s fans (Hello Barry!) threatened to cancel their free subscriptions if the Lakesnore News didn’t run an occasional lunatic screed on water meters or global warmongering. The problem is I’m not in TruDOPEia at the moment, so I’m not up on current Canadian and Shuswap affairs. Yup, I’m hobnobbing with the cartels down in sunny Baja, California. Hey, it’s a lot safer than living in Paris! We do a lot of reading under the umbrellas down here, and no sooner had I finished William Forstchen’s just-published novella ‘Day of Wrath’ when I turned on the news and discovered the Forstchen’s plot streaming live on French TV. If you’re tired of all the contrived detective fiction and don’t mind being scared silly, order up Day of Wrath together with Fortstchen’s bestsellers ‘One Second After’ and ‘One Year After.’ Trust me. You’ll regret it. But you should read them anyway. They should be available at your local bookstore. I was going spend the next few paragraphs making fun of alternative energy, but I’m having second thoughts thanks to One Second After. I ran my house in Mexico with an expensive and finicky solar power system until recently. Then they brought the power poles down to the beach and we hooked up to the grid. My first bi-monthly bill was $15. Hallelujah, I thought. I’ve got reliable power and can sell my solar system to someone living in the boondocks. But what happens when the grid fails? Last year Hurricane Odile destroyed the power grid in the Baja, and it took two months and all of Mexico’s resources to get it up and running again. Thanks to our solar system we weren’t affected. Yes, you don’t often see hurricanes in the Shuswap, but is our electric grid secure? What would happen if the power failed for weeks or months? That’s why you may want to read One Second After. Unless you’re off the grid, alternative power systems will make the power from the pole more, not less expensive. It’s counter intuitive, but it’s basic economics. Since solar power

mallarkey doesn’t work on cloudy days or at night, you’ll still have to be connected to old BC Hydro. And old BC hydro has fixed costs, ninety per cent of which are the salaries and benefits of the employees. If you and others buy solar panels and start using a lot less power, your power company will either have to cut costs by laying off employees or by charging you more for the power they provide. Guess which one it will be? The alternative energy cult will probably never become popular in hydro-powered British Columbia, but the power companies in California and Arizona, where rooftop solar panels abound, are already crying foul. Okay, that’s enough for now. If there’s a topic you’d like me to cover some time in the future, let me know at raon61@gmail.com.

Letters to the Editor We have been very blessed in our lives. We also have had some trying times, as I know we all have. My daughter, Frankie, has had more trying times than most. When she was just under a year old, she broke her first bone and that is when they noticed something was wrong. She was diagnosed with a rare disease called McCune Albright/PFD. This disease causes many issues; some being brittle bones, endocrine issues such as precocious puberty, excess growth hormones and estrogen, hyperthyroidism, and excess hormones that cause bone tumours. She also has craniofacial dysplasia which causes the skull bone to thicken and deform. The main concern is that it will take her eyesight. There are so many other constant medical concerns we deal with on a daily basis. In Frankie’s 4 short years, she has seen many hospitals, x-rays, casts, and surgeries. She has been so strong! Always happy, funny, and full of life. I find my strength in her even though it has been emotionally, physically, and financially draining. So, this help couldn’t have come at a better time. I have been struggling with how I am going to find the means to do brakes and winter tires before our next trip to Vancouver Children’s Hospital at the end of this month. I was so
A sincere thank you thankful for Shriners, they have done so much for us, but unfortunately the buses no longer run, leaving me to do the winter trips. Well, I am writing here today to say a special thank you. Thank you for the
Proposed no dogs bylaw
Salmon Arm Bay is a coveted BC birding hotspot! At anytime you could see 20-60 species of birds, reptiles, mammals and insects along the foreshore trail. The foreshore is a haven for some species at risk, including Short-eared Owls and Western Painted Turtles. Birders from all over the world come to see the unique Western Grebes breed here in May. Western Grebes are listed on COSEWIC as a species of special concern because their survival is dependant on sensitive habitats. Salmon Arm Bay provides a balance of fish streams, riparian vegetation and wetland ecosystems that enable wildlife to thrive and attracts significant naturalist tourism and repeat visitors from our surrounding areas. As a community, we have a responsibility to maintain the integrity of this valuable environment as it is the last of its kind in the BC interior. SABNES is committed to maintaining, monitoring and enhancing the foreshore. Volunteers spend countless hours maintaining trails, building access points, and planting vegetation designed to help native wildlife thrive. SABNES has reached out to City Council to implement a No Dogs Bylaw on the foreshore trail. It is common to have a No Pets Policy in a wildlife sanctuary because pets are harmful to sensitive wildlife and habitat. Salmon Arm Bay is considered one of BC’s premier migratory estuaries. Migrating birds’ survival depends on conserving energy. Dog urination and
scent markers send territorial threats to wildlife triggering adjustments to foraging habits that can result in malnutrition and exhaustion. An unleashed dog can disrupt and potentially harm wildlife and trample or dig up sensitive nesting vegetation. Domestic dogs are highly socialized and well-travelled animals, and can be exposed to non-native diseases and pests that can be transferred to local wildlife via feces or fur. Dogs are fed a non-native diet and their feces contain high counts of harmful bacteria, fecal coliforms and nitrates that are hazardous to wildlife and vegetation. Pet feces that is not properly disposed of is broken down by rain water, seeps into the watershed, and becomes a hazardous water pollutant ranked alongside other toxic chemicals. Fecal waste that reaches the watershed where we swim, fish and recreate is a public health risk. It is a risk to bring dogs into sensitive habitats and a No Dogs Bylaw should be implemented. The proposed bylaw should include the foreshore trail, Peter Jannink Park, and the Frank and Doris Kime Trail, which are all sensitive nesting areas in Salmon Arm Bay. Pet waste is a problem on Salmon Arm’s feature trails, greenways and playgrounds. A Pet Waste Outreach Campaign can help dog owners understand the benefit of maintaining the integrity of our valuable environment and the health of our community. Misty Bergquist, Salmon Arm
amazing gift we have received. I would like to thank the owner of Fountain Tire, Tim Ingram and staff, for what has been done my me and my kids. Due to a few kind hearts, Cherene and Chris Colby and Cherene’s mother, Irene Lamond. They heard I was struggling and contacted Tim Ingram, he did not hesitate to help. He replaced my brakes and rotors, as well as giving me good winter tires. He also did an over all check to insure my vehicle was safe for our trips to the coast. I would also like to thank Dan Caterer, the manager of Kal Tire who also offered me a set of winter tires at no cost to me. In the end, I was unable to take his generous offer, but his kind gesture did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. I am so overwhelmed with the love we have been shown by so many. I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who have helped us along the way. I want everyone to know that this act of kindness will not end with me. You all have filled my bucket and I will continue to fill others along the way. Your thoughtfulness means so much more than words can say! Billie Douglas, Salmon Arm
Let’s practice peace
A week ago we were remembering the horrors of war. Isn’t it time to try something else, like honouring the sentiments inscribed on the Marine Peace Park sign down on the waterfront? It was placed there by the City of Salmon Arm, Rotary, and Doctors Without Borders. It reads, “Dedicated to International Peace and Understanding.” Okay, let’s do something about it! Seems to me there is a new spirit blowing in the wind. Our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, has selected a cabinet which reflects ethnic diversity, gender balance, and belief in our youth. He also believes there is no peace without justice; note the selection of Jody Wilson Raybould as our new Justice minister. The indigenous people of Canada have been waiting 400+ years for justice to visit them. We at the MacQuarrie Institute believe now is the time to step up to the plate; ask ourselves, “What is the whole truth about how Canada came into being?” In 1764, the Treaty of Niagara, and accompanying wampum belts, set forth a plan, which could have resulted in peace and understanding for both settlers, and Indigenous people. But , It was never honoured . Well, let’s honour it, let’s begin to practice, peace and understanding. Let’s become familiar with the whole truth about our history: residential schools, where children from ages 6 to 16 were taken from parents, the hundreds of treaties which were seldom honoured, and the disrespect and racism which still pervades our culture. There are three reserves in Salmon Arm. We could start by getting to know one another, walk the proverbial mile, exchange moccasins for shoes, listen to each others’ stories, be the good neighbour. Just imagine what could happen if we were to invite a whole family for lunch or supper? Stranger things are possible! Peace, Dan MacQuarrie

SPORTS & LEISURE Skating boost
Intact Insurance Company, Speed Skating Canada’s major sponsor, announced recently that among other clubs, the Salmon Arm Ice Breakers were awarded a $1,000 bursary as part of the 2015-2016 Podium Tracker program. Last weekend, Canadian skaters won a total of 8 individual medals at the ISU World Cup Short Track Speed Skating in Toronto, Canada. In the 500m, Samuel Girard and Charles Hamelin won gold medals while Sasha Fathoullin and Marianne St-Gelais won silver medals. St-Gelais and François Hamelin also won bronze medals in the 1500m. In the 1000m, Charle Cournoyer won a gold medal while Valérie Maltais took the bronze medal. Canada also won the gold medal in the men’s relay event. The Intact Podium Tracker Program tracks individual medals won by Canadian short and long track speed skaters in World Cups and World Championships. Each time an athlete steps onto the podium, Intact Insurance donates $1,000 to a local speed skating club in Canada. So far this season, Intact Insurance Company gave a total of $14,000 in donation to 14 clubs, representing the 14 individual medals won by Canadians in World Cups and World Championships events. Since the inception of the Intact Podium Tracker Program during the 2010-2011 season, Intact Insurance has donated a total of $215,000 to Canadian speed skating clubs. “We are proud of the strong showings from the Canadian team,” said Anna Rajpat, Intact Insurance’s Vice President of Brand Development and Customer Experience. “Through the Intact Podium Tracker Program, we hope to support more young skaters and skating clubs across Canada in their training and racing needs, further promote speed skating in Canada and help build future Olympians in the sport.” In BC, the two clubs receiving funds were the Salmon Arm Ice Breakers Speed Skating Club and the Fort St. James Speed Skating Club. More information can be found on Speed Skating Canada’s website at www.speedskating. ca or on the Podium Tracker Program at www. podiumtracker.ca/en/index.html.

Underwriting is the practice of determining whether the insurance company should make you an offer of insurance, and if so, what terms and for what premium. This decision is based on your application and other information the underwriter may obtain regarding your health and background. Before entering into a contract with the insurer, applicants will know any exclusions, ratings/discounts, as well as their cost and coverage before making their first premium payment. Post claim underwriting is a practice whereby an insurance company determines whether or not they will pay the benefit at the time of claim. In essence, applicants of ‘post-claim’ underwritten coverage have simply qualified to make the premium payment, that’s all! An insurance company (typically banks) relying on post claim underwriting looks for all the things on your application or coming from your application that it might be able to dig up or rescind (cancel) your policy to avoid having to pay your claim. This is instead of looking to pay your submitted claim for a loss incurred by you as promised under the terms of the insurance policy it issued you. The insurance company, rather than refusing to issue you a policy at the time you apply because information on the application leads you to believe you are a bad risk, waits until after the policy has been issued (while you are falsely secure in the knowledge that you have in force insurance protection) and, then after you have submitted a claim, denies coverage on the grounds that the policy should not have been issued in the first place. When this occurs, the insurance company ignores its commonly understood obligation to
insights COURTESY OF MUSHALUK FINANCIAL
by Jeffrey Mushaluk do the underwriting when a policy application is made rather conducting its risk assessment after your claim is submitted. The insurance company performs this afterthe-fact evaluation to rid itself of an insured individual it contends should never have received insurance coverage. Meanwhile, you believe that you have valid insurance and thus do not seek insurance elsewhere. Post claim underwriting uses a very misleading insurance application by asking questions like “are you in good health?” or may even make no health inquiries at all. If health-related questions are included, they are generally broad-based and subject to interpretation, opinion-type questions and ask you to check a “yes” or “no” box without requiring an explanation. Post claim underwritten policies are issued immediately upon your application and payment of premium. No medical examination is requested. As you may have guessed, banks use this type of practice because the people selling it to you are not qualified insurance agents. They are salespeople. This is a very profitable practice for the bank, with little downside risk with the exception of heartbroken beneficiaries that find out at the most inopportune time that their coverage was denied. Mushaluk Financial does not offer any products that utilize post claim underwriting; rather, all of our clients undergo a series of medical tests to ensure there are no surprises when it comes time to file a claim. For more information on post claim underwriting please visit www.mushaluk.com and look under the ‘mortgage insurance’ tab.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Writers offer outlining workshop
The Shuswap Association of Writers invites you to attend a workshop by Scott Fitzgerald Gray - the Language of Story. If you’re drawn to mucking around with story at the outline stage — and especially if you’ve tried outlining before and have been frustrated when your sense of your story goes off track — this workshop will show you a slightly different approach to plotting that can make a huge difference in your ability to visualize and clarify your story. And
even if you’ve already decided that outlining doesn’t suit your own style of storytelling, exploring the process of outlining in the particular way this workshop presents it will sharpen your understanding of the language of story — the underlying mechanics that determine how plot, character, and conflict weave together to create compelling fiction. This workshop takes place Saturday, November 28, 2:00–4:30 p.m. at the Piccadilly Mall board room. Members, seniors and students pay $30, the rest pay $35. More details can be found at www.shuswapassociationofwriters.ca/events/

Things that go POP
In the last few weeks, I’ve had several clients tell me they want things to “pop.” Personally, I think the word belongs in the fashion industry (if even there), not in home decor. But some of you use it because you learned it from the home dec magazines and TV shows. So let’s just go with it. Things that pop are things that catch your eye. They must, because of the nature of the ‘pop,’ be of substantial contrast to their surroundings. They become the most important visual in the scenario. They take over and must, again by their very definition, yell the loudest. “Look at me, I’m the yellow pillow on the black sofa” or “Look at me, I’m the really bright abstract paint-

ing on the dark wall.” If this is what you want, then fine, go ahead with the yellow pillow or bright abstract. But I bet, based on what you end up telling me over and over, that what you really want is something interesting to be going on in your room’s decor. What brought all this on, anyway? Your furniture is a tad old, and you may be a bit tired of it. The light in the room has changed (seasons do that) and the room appears darker and duller than it did a few months ago. You’ve been binge-watching HGTV and want something new. You have company coming for Christmas and want to spiffy up the place. You’ve been decorating the place for some time; you are stuck and think that a yellow cushion may be the answer, and some decor magazines say that a pop of colour will transform a room. So, consider this: A well-decorated room is balanced. If there is an element that pops out, it is the focal point – like the fireplace, the bay window, the bed, or maybe the huge Andy Warhol print. Each room should have only one focal point. (And one odd-coloured painted wall is not a focal point. It’s a mistake.) Supporting the focal point are the accessories and lighting. Texture and unusual shapes in your accessories add interest rather than just contrasting colour. Add a proper-sized area rug. Full spectrum light bulbs will add natural-looking light; the colours in your room will be much more lifelike than if you have warm fluorescents. I’ll bet you need a few more light fixtures, too. Accessories and odd-coloured walls are not meant to be focal points. That sort of says it all. See some visuals of this column on my website: Designsewlutions.ca.

Adams River Salmon Society receives stewardship award
ENDERBY, BC – The Adams River Salmon Society was honoured last week at the 11th annual BC Interior Stewardship Workshop, hosted by the Fraser Basin Council and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), in Enderby. The Society was presented with Fraser Basin Council’s BC Interior Stewardship Award for Ecosystem Excellence for their role in hosting and managing the internationally famous Adams River “Salute to the Sockeye” for the last 20 years, among many other accomplishments. The Society was nominated for the award by Wes DeArmond, Area Supervisor with BC Parks. The Society has “delivered in a big way” when it comes to providing public interpretation and recreation, states DeArmond. Brenda Melnychuk, a volunteer with the Adams River group, was present at the workshop last week and accepted the award on behalf
of the Society. “It’s an honour for the Society to be recognized in this way,” Melnychuk said. Society president Darlene McBain, who was not present at the workshop, described the collaborative and multi-task nature of the Society: “The Salute is a huge community effort. The Society has put in an incredible amount of volunteer effort at Roderick Haig-Brown Park so that thousands of visitors can come out and see the salmon,” said McBain. The Society has been instrumental in pulling together communities and recruiting volunteers to organize and host the Salute the Sockeye event, held once every four years at Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park. Since 2010, the interpretive cabin at the park has been open to assist and welcome visitors. In addition to providing public interpretation, the Society volunteers help keep people safe during their visit and educate visitors on the
importance of minimizing their impact to the sensitive environment. The Ecosystems Excellence Award is given out each year at the annual workshop to an organization or individual who meets the award criteria: (a) demonstrating excellent leadership of a stewardship organization, (b) demonstrating responsible use, protection, and/or restoration of stream resources, or (c) promoting public awareness, appreciation, understanding and concern for ecosystems.

The allure of gold
As kids growing up in Kelowna, we used to tag along with uncle Allister Campbell, skipper of the MV Pendozi, the ferry that plied the waters of Okanagan Lake from Kelowna to Westbank, on gold-panning excursions to Gallagher’s Canyon, and partly the headwaters of Mission Creek. Brother John skippered the Lequime, and there was also the MV LloydJones, which went to Burns Lake after the first Kelowna bridge was erected. Allister ended up retiring from the ferry, and purchasing a Geiger counter (which detects uranium), and we did some more exploring at Beaverdell, an area very rich in pitchblend and uranium. But growing up and moving to Armstrong, a couple of us took gold pans to Irish Creek atop St. Annes Hill past O’Keefe Ranch, where we got more colour–just enough to stir the imagination. So, in fact, gold was first discovered in Mission Creek in 1833. Next came the Similkameen/Deadman discovery in the Interior in 1852. In 1855, natives finding gold at Nicomen, on the Thompson River, took their gold to the Hudson’s Bay Co chief trader Donald Mclean, at Fort Kamloops. McLean wrote to chief factor in Victoria, Roderick Finlayson, regarding the discovery at Nicomen. McLean requested iron spoons be given to the natives, so that more gold could be removed efficiently from cracks and crevices in the rocks. A very huge gold nugget was found later in the Thompson, just below the Nicomen find. Now to modern times: I knew a gal in Armstrong, who worked as second cook in the mid 80’s for a large gold mining conglomerate called Brinkerhoff. In their factory in Germany, they produced steel wire and other components. Similar to what we see on the reality series “Gold Rush,” they had large equipment with which to extract gold, along with a very large camp and crew. It was classed a ‘dry camp,’ but after clean-up in the mess hall in the evening, the supervisor (who was a lady) would advise Flo to come into the storage room for a drink. In rows on the shelves she saw jars of gold, some coarse, some fine. But the most interesting part was that a ROPS canopy off a cat that was in for repair in the welding shop. (A ROPS canopy is a tubular steel structure built into the roof of heavy equipment to protect the operator) A pipe off the canopy was being removed, and gold was being placed inside, before it was to be sent back to Germany for further testing.
What everyone’s reading...
shuswapoutdoors by Hank Shelley This then brings us to the wildly popular Gold Rush Alaska series on the Discovery channel, viewed by millions on Friday evenings. If one goes to Google and enters the name, it’s very interesting to see how the series is produced, with over 100 cast involved, including the workers or participants who made about $60,000 per season. The production takes in $2 million a season, and $100,000 per episode. It also explains why Dakota Fred left the show, and why Todd Hoffman was always being bailed out by his crew for his screw-ups. The thing that I can’t fathom is how they can devastate the landscape as they do. There has to be a governing body overseeing reclamation, etc? After all, the show’s a moneymaker, ‘cause all Todd and his crew had when they left Seattle on that barge was a worn-out excavator and a couple suction dredges. But what the heck, there’s still lots a gold in them thar hills, and even local guys who have gold claims and dreams of strikin’ it rich!
Welcome to our New Benefactor
Alvin Stewart Cruickshank
Here and there in the Shuswap
Although it was misty and rainy, with snow at higher elevations, hunters were out in big numbers last day of the season for spike fork bull moose. Very few animals had come in during the season, although local butchers are quite busy processing game animals like deer and elk. Growing access is contributing to getting to where animals are, using ATV’s and quads and giving hunters more opportunity for harvest. It’s estimated that there are about 200,000 quads out there, owned by ranchers, farmers, government agencies, and hunters. Although there are restrictions in place for alpine areas in some parts of the Okanagan and Interior, those that want to get to a specific location to hunt or fish, will get there regardless, as there is little enforcement out there. On a lighter note, treasure yourself. It’s great to help others, to do what we may, to sort out their problems, to brighten their day. To make time to listen, to show that we care. To run a few errands, to simply be there! Tight lines and straight shootin’ till next time round!
Aileen Cruickshank was happy to honour her husband Alvin Stewart Cruickshank as a Benefactor for the Shuswap Hospital Foundation. Al was the second oldest of nine children, born and raised in Owen Sound, Ontario. He took early retirement from a large printing firm, where he was Foreman of the Electrical and Maintenance Department. The move to Salmon Arm in May of 1989 meant that Al would be closer to his only child, daughter Terry Adair and his only grandchild, grandson Jamie Adair. Al and Aileen enjoyed life in the Shuswap where Al played golf, lawn bowling and curling. Alvin died on July 12th, 2001.

id o v A o t w o H th e ho lid ay sh op pi ng ru sh Holiday shopping can be both fun and hectic. While it’s fun to scour stores looking for can’t-miss gifts for your loved ones, shopping amongst the crowds also can prove hectic. While online shopping has made department stores somewhat less crowded come the holiday season, the National Retail Federation notes that online shopping during the 2014 holiday season accounted for just one-sixth of all holiday shopping. The opportunity to see and feel potential gifts in person compels many people to do the majority of their holiday shopping instore, and there are ways for such shoppers to avoid the holiday shopping rush as they begin their quests for the perfect gifts.

• Shop during off-peak hours Weekends and week-
night evenings tend to be the busiest times to go holiday shopping. Professionals who have weekends off may put off their shopping during the week, choosing to do so on Saturday and Sunday afternoons when they have extra time to browse and comparison shop. Shopping off-peak hours, such as during weekday mornings or even early mornings on weekends, is a great way to avoid crowds. Parents of young children might want to take a morning or even a full day off of work to get their holiday shopping done so they can avoid shopping with their kids in tow. You can probably move around more quickly if you choose to shop while the kids are in school, and this also affords you time to �ind gifts for the kids.
• Make a
list
Knowing what you want to buy online can decrease the amount of time you spend wandering around malls and stores. The longer you linger without an idea of what to buy, the greater the chance you will be joined by fellow shoppers. If possible, call stores before you leave the house to con�irm if they have
certain items in stock, or buy items online
from retailers who offer an in-store pickup option. Checkout lines for in-store pickup
items are often separated from more tradi-
tional checkout lines, further reducing your risk of waiting in long lines.
• Shop local businesses
Small local businesses may not boast the
inventory of larger retailers you’re liable to encounter at the mall, but local small businesses tend to deal with thinner crowds than national stores during the holiday
season. Items in such businesses may be
more unique than items sold at nationwide
retailers, and when you shop at smaller businesses, you likely won’t be forced to hunt for
parking spots or wait on long checkout lines.
Start shopping early
Crowds only grow bigger and more impa-
tient between Black Friday and the �inal days before Christmas, so shoppers who can �ind the time to shop before the height of the
shopping season might �ind parking lots and checkout lines more to their liking. In addi-
tion, shopping early affords shoppers more time to �ind the best deals.
The holiday shopping rush hits full swing
in the weeks before Christmas Day, but there are many ways shoppers can get their shopping done and avoid the crowds at the same time.

Superfood for the gut
Lacto fermented foods are ancient food. Cultures all around the world have fermented dairy, grains, beans, vegetable fruits, meat and fish. The consumption of fermented foods saw a drastic decline as refrigeration kept vegetables, fruit and dairy fresh for weeks or months. Eating some fermented food every day protects you from the onslaught of antibiotics that we are exposed to from many different angles. Replenishing our healthy gut bacteria with probiotics aids in re-colonizing our biodome with 20 to 50 billion units per serving after hospitalization or a round of antibiotics. However, lab test confirm that vegetables produced by probiotic starter cultures had 10 trillion colony-forming units of bacteria. Bacteria outnumber cells in our body 10 to 1. Literally, one serving of vegetables was equal to an entire bottle of high-potency
foodsalive
(expensive) probiotics! Fermented foods harmonize stomach acidity. (good bye Pepto Bismol?) They stimulate peristalsis movement of food through the intestines, assist in blood circulation and prevent constipation. (Goodbye Metamucil?) Lactic acid locks and unlocks secretion glands as needed. This is especially great news for diabetics as there is no demand on the pancreas due to predigested sugar fermentation. Fermented food also reduces plaque buildup on the teeth. (You still need to brush and floss though!) The greatest benefit perhaps is the production of the full range of B Vitamins in our gut by the transformation of microorganisms. Our microbiome has been correlated to an incredible range of illnesses and conditions; chronic illnesses like diabetes, Parkinsons, MS, arthritis,
by Afke Zonderland autism, depression and obesity. Perhaps this is not surprising since our immune system is 90% dependent on active, ‘friendly’ bacteria. This makes fermented foods an excellent choice for cancer patients. Farmers and gardeners know that a diversity of soil micro-organisms is essential for healthy crops. Perhaps we need to get some dirt under our nails once in awhile and relax when our children ingest a little soil along with the raspberry that fell from the bucket. It is said that “All disease begins in the gut.” How have we lost our gut and gained so much knowledge in technology in the last 100 years? More on that next week.

COMMUNITY MAKES YOU. YOU MAKE YOUR COMMUNITY. SCF’s grant to the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap for their Books under the Tree Program was used to purchase quality children’s books. These books were then distributed to local families in need through the Family Resource Centres in Salmon Arm and Sicamous. Through this project, LASS was able to share the message about the importance of literacy and the need for children in our community to have access to quality books at home.

90th Birthday to Jack Stead of Salmon Arm Happy
“I always felt we belonged here in Salmon Arm”, Jack Stead says of the 30 years he and his wife Edith (Irwin) have lived in Salmon Arm. But even at 90, Jack can’t be called a Salmon Arm old timer. In fact, he didn’t even move here from Saskatchewan until they retired in 1985. Once here, though, the couple got busy becoming part of the community. Jack served as a Justice of the Peace until he was 65, and then as a marriage commissioner, he wedded almost a thousand couples in the area. Jack and Edith sailed the fibreglass boat they built themselves with the Power and Sail Squadron in the Shuswap and, on a larger sailboat at the west coast. Jack used his skills as a former teacher to help boaters in this area learn coastal navigation. The couple also volunteered at the Haney Heritage Park, helping with the dinner theatre. Jack served on the Park’s Board of Directors and still organizes a display of antique firearms each year on Pioneer Day. Jack is a Past Master of the Salmon Arm Masonic Lodge and still amazes younger members with his ability to recite lengthy passages from memory. Always a prize winning marksman, Jack shifted his focus in retirement to keeping target shooting alive as a sport, especially with muzzle loading rifles. As past president and member of the Fish and Game Association and the Monashee Mountain Men, he organized gun shows, and still helps with fundraising and setting up black powder shoots. “I’m still happiest in my shop designing and fabricating parts to repair firearms”, Jack says. Just this fall his granddaughter, Emily, reported success while grouse hunting in Yukon using a shotgun Jack refurbished. In preparation for Remembrance Day this year, Jack spoke to three groups of high school students about his experiences in World War Two and, with Edith, laid the wreath for Canada at the Cenotaph.

The staff at Bowers Funeral Home warmly invite you to our 14th annual
Holiday Remembrance Service from our chapel Thursday, December 10th at 7:00 pm. This service will include candle lighting, music and poetry to commemorate loved ones who have passed away. All are welcome to attend.
When asked the secret of his long, healthy life, Jack says, “pick your ancestors carefully.” His mother lived to encourage Jack’s development until her death at 105. “Marry well”, Jack continues. Jack and Edith walk about two kilometres a day, often with a neighbour’s dog. Together the couple prepare the wonderful meals Edith plans, which are enjoyed by so many visitors every year. Jack also claims Edith is the secret to their financial well being. Edith has always managed the accounts, both for the family and for Jack’s successful camera shop and studio during the 1950s and ‘60s. They were able to retire while still in their 50s, and then sailed many parts of the world with Holland America Cruise Lines. Lately they have been able to contribute to Haney Heritage Park and the Shuswap Lake General Hospital through the Shuswap Community Foundation. “It’s our way to give back to the community that made us so welcome”, Jack says. History repeated itself this year for Jack and Edith’s two children; Mark Stead retired last month (in Edmonton) while still in his 50s, and Brenda and sonin-law Richard Wale decided to make Salmon Arm their home in retirement. This weekend, the extended family gathers in Salmon Arm to celebrate Jack’s 90th birthday, including Mark, his wife Jeannie, and grandchildren Helen, Emily, Michael, and Sarah, who, with her husband Brian Offredi, are celebrating their first wedding anniversary here this weekend. Written by Brenda (Stead) Wale. Photo by Mark Stead.

Driveways, cupboards, and cookies Lakeshore News travels to Hi Reena, I’m so glad you have a blog now, that way I can go back on some articles you have had in the past. Also, we go away for winter, so I can keep up with you that way. I have a question: My friend had a new driveway poured, and he also had an apple tree nearby that dropped those little apples on the driveway with a splat and left dark brown marks. What would you suggest he use to remove those marks? I know it’s too late in the season now, but hopefully you can suggest something for the spring. Thanking you in advance, Elvera Dear Elvera, Sprinkle the driveway with a box of baking soda. Using a stiff brush, dampened with water. Scrub the area until the stains are gone. If the stains remain, scrub the driveway with one of the following: laundry detergent and water or TSP (trisodium phosphate) and water or washing soda and water. Rinse. As a last resort, combat tough spills with muriatic acid and a pressure washer. Apply the acid following the manufacturer’s directions, and let it soak for several seconds. Keep in mind that muriatic acid is a dangerous product; if you use it, wear rubber or latex gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing; and never wash it down storm drains. Test all solutions on an inconspicuous area first. Dear Reena, Can you please tell me how to clean wood finish cupboards? Also, what is a great recipe for ‘Monster Cookies’? Sincerely, Lorraine Dear Lorraine, Mild dish soap and water is all that is recommended for cleaning the grease off of kitchen cupboards (just a damp clean cloth or mildly abrasive cloth and no excess water, dry immediately). This is very effective, since dish soap is created as a grease cutter. Here is a wonderful recipe that makes six dozen ‘Best Monster Cookies’! In a bowl combine 1 cup butter, 1 and a half cups peanut butter (if you don’t like peanut butter, substitute 1 cup margarine for peanut butter), 2 cups brown sugar and 2 cups white granulated sugar. Add 4 eggs and 1 tbsp. vanilla, beat until smooth. To the batter add, 3 cups flour, 5 cups rolled oats, 2 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. baking powder and 1 tsp. salt. Mix until combined. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup M & M’s. Drop by tablespoons onto greased cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until edges start to turn light brown. Freeze leftovers. Extra tip: You can substitute peanuts or walnuts for the same amount of some of the candy. Hi Reena, I own a water cooler that is about 10 years old. I have misplaced the directions for cleaning the inside of my cooler. I seem to remember using a bleach solution to clean the reservoir. Can you give me suggestions please? Thank you in advance, Inez Dear Inez, Health Canada recommends that you clean your cooler system after every bottle change. Begin by disconnecting the unit from the wall.
Solutions&Substitutions
By Reena Nerbas Remove the bottle from the cooler unit. Drain the water through the blue faucet into a bucket. Disconnect any removable parts from the unit. Wash parts thoroughly with dish soap and water. Rinse. If you have a hot and cold dispenser, plug the hot dispenser off using a cork or plug. Doing this prevents sanitizer from getting into the hot tank. Combine one gallon water and one tbsp. vinegar. With this solution, clean all of the interior surfaces of the reservoir. Let the solution sit for 7 minutes. Fill reservoir full of fresh bottle water and drain the water through the cold faucet. Repeat three times. Remove cork from the hot tank and replace all parts. Plug unit into wall. You can use 1 tsp. bleach instead of 1 tbsp. Vinegar; however, I prefer vinegar since it is safe for consumption. Dear Reena, A very recent column suggested that Meghan’s boyfriend’s “world’s worst manners” were primarily a result of sub-cultural variances. While I whole-heartedly agree with your explanation and solution, I am slightly bewildered by Meghan’s concern that her ill-manneredly boyfriend “leaves his napkin on the table when he goes [away] to the bathroom”. Where does she expect him to leave his napkin? I was under the impression that the napkin should always be left on the table when leaving, for whatever reason with the only exception that the (home) hostess would place her napkin on her chair-seat when she arose to attend to items to or from the kitchen. Have I been wrong all these many years? Has this napkin-placing etiquette changed? Thank-you for a truly fascinating column, James Dear James, Nice that you have given this matter some thought! Manner experts advise that if you need to leave the table during a meal, place your napkin on the seat of your chair. You are never supposed to put your napkin back onto the table before the meal has ended. According to North American etiquette, at the end of the meal the hostess picks up his/her napkin and places it on the table to the left of his/her plate. When this occurs, guests also place their napkin on the left of their plate. This indicates that the meal is over. Fabulous Tip of the Week: I recently read an article about rabbits in the yard eating things we do not want them to eat. I found an excellent inexpensive, environmentally friendly and easy solution. Grate Irish Spring bar soap just like cheese and sprinkle it around problem areas (or around perimeter of property) to keep rabbits away. Submitted by Mel I enjoy your questions and tips – keep them coming! Missed a column? Can’t remember a solution? Need a speaker for an upcoming event? Interested in grocery coupons?

Naples, Florida
Heidi Collins (centre) celebrated her birthday in September by traveling to Florida with her two sisters Ute and Elke. They enjoyed an airboat ride in the Everglades and got to hold a 20-inch long alligator. They also visited Naples, where they are pictured above. Although it was Florida’s rainy season, Heidi and her sisters all had a good time. As part of her holiday, she spent a
week with relatives in Ontario. She noticed that gas prices were much lower in Ontario than here, averaging about 93 or 94 cents per litre where she was staying. Heidi receives $10 for having her picture printed and is entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2015.
