Typhoon not in the past

Philippines: Family still raising funds to assist the victims of disaster.

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Typhoon Haiyan may be out of the news headlines, but it remains in the hearts and minds of people in the Shuswap.

The Pulsifers are one Salmon Arm family which thinks daily of the Philippines.

Lib Pulsifer was raised in Manila, about an hour’s flight north of Tacloban, a city of a quarter million people that was flattened by the typhoon. Lib’s family immigrated to Canada in 1979 to escape the Marcos regime.

Her father Justo Angeles lives in Toronto but has been visiting in Salmon Arm. He was born in Tacloban.

Lib says her family has distant relatives on

her grandmother’s side in Tacloban, as well as family, extended family and friends in Manila.

The Pulsifers visit the Philippines regularly.

“My father was asking me how he could connect and find out what happened to them,” Lib says of the relatives in Tacloban.

There’s no power there, points out Craig, Lib’s spouse.

“It’s something, I think, we fail to grasp –it’s going to be years to recover. It’s not like, ‘I did my bit and it’s on to the next.’”

Asked how the typhoon has affected him living in Canada, Lib’s father says, through her: “He feels very sorry for the people that have lost loved ones and for the people that are affected, have lost their homes. There is this feeling of overwhelming helplessness because we’re so far, but he says he’s hoping that the help will get to them and it’s so important that we help out.

He’s very thankful to the community money

that was raised here and was sent.”

Lib and Craig both say they have been amazed by Salmon Arm residents’ generosity.

“It’s humanity reaching out, and that just warms my heart,” says Lib. More than $7,000 has been raised locally, $3,000 of that from bottle and can recycling alone, the Pulsifers say.

The funds go to the disaster relief fund of Action International Ministries.

According to its website, “Action works... to reach people for Christ (evangelism), train them in Christian living (discipleship), and assist them in their physical and economic needs (development).”

The Pulsifers will be heading to the Philippines in January – and paying for their own airline tickets, they emphasize – where they can put funds directly into the hands of aid workers.

To help, residents may drop off cans and bottles at Hanna & Hanna’s, donate online

or, to give funds directly, email Lib at lib@ telus.net.

Prosthetic gives duckling a new leg up on life

2nd Annual

By Lachlan Labere

Pet Grooming SALE

MARKET NEWS STAff

Dudley has taken to walking on two legs like other ducks would to water.

On Wednesday, Dec. 18, Dudley the call duck’s right limb was fitted with a prosthetic leg and foot. By Friday, Dudley’s owner and caretaker, Debbie Fortin of K9-1-1 Animal Rescue and Services, said the little water fowl was walking on both legs as though he had them his whole life.

“He also thinks now that he has a leg, he can run away,” laughs Fortin. “When we go to get him now for his bath, because he still has to have rehab, instead of just sitting there and letting us pick him up, he’ll try and run away, and he’s very successful at it but he’s in a confined area. It’s really good to see that happen because before he couldn’t.”

Dudley lost his foot and part of his leg when he was a wee duckling.

Not long after, Fortin’s son, Brandon Schweitzer contacted his friend Terence Loring, a mechanical engineer who recently started his own Kamloops-based company, 3 Pillar Designs. Loring specializes in 3D architecture and design and paid the duckling a visit, deciding to take on the challenge of designing a prosthetic leg.

Loring came up with a few different designs and two models, with the actual printing of prosthetics being done

by Canadian company Proto3000. The first design was at a wrong angle and more complex than needed.

“I thought I’d try to make it very realistic, but it just made it super cumbersome, so I decided to go back to something very simple and build on that,” says Loring. “At least we got him walking, and if need be we can do something a little more complex. But at this

Loring and Proto3000 donated all of their time and materials for the project, for which Fortin is grateful.

Dudley is still getting used to moving on the new leg, with some surfaces and obstacles that he was used to going over with one leg posing a bit of a challenge.

But, in general, Fortin says he’s getting around better and his health is improving as a result.

“He also now is using his wings more because he’s more upright so he’s able to flap them fully open,” says Fortin. “We had to clip his wings so he doesn’t fly, but he has his flight wings so he spreads them and flaps them because he can stand up and be like a real duck. He seems pretty proud.”

A remaining chal-

lenge is the fastening of the prosthetic to Dudley’s stub – something more secure is needed.

“We’re looking into a strap or something to hold the actual leg on his stump,” says Fortin. “That’s a transition we’re making too, but we’ve got several people trying to come up with ideas that won’t stop circulation… you can see it’s doable.”

When news of his humane design project broke, Loring said he received calls from other people with injured animals, including someone with an emu that had lost its leg. Loring was interested in taking on the project; however, due to other complications, the animal had to be put down. And while his curriculum vitae includes much larger design projects, Loring is enthusiastic about his work with Fortin

and Dudley, and how he was able to have a positive impact on both their lives.

“A lot of people say it’s trivial, and in some ways it might be, but a lot of people really care for this little animal, so I guess that’s why I really wanted to take this on,” says Loring. “If they think it’s important enough, well, why not?”

As someone who cares for animals professionally, Fortin says her eyes are now wide open to the world of 3D printing and the potential benefits the technology can offer animals and humans alike.

“There’s lots of possibilities and I know we can’t look at funding those things because we don’t have the financial backing, but just knowing that it is possible to do that gives us a lot more insight as to what we can do,” says Fortin.

Sicamous appeals for annual use of ALR land

By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAff

Sicamous district council plans to put pressure on the Agriculture Land Commission to get around its application process to use local agricultural land for a motorcycle event.

Last year, the district submitted an application to the commission so that the community dog park, which is currently in the Agricultural Land Reserve, could be used for the Summer Stomp motorcycle rally and concert.

Anticipating this will be an annual event in Sicamous, district community planning officer Mike Marrs says the district is working with the ALC to figure out a way around having to make an annual application. He did not state the district is seeking to remove the land from the reserve.

In September, council met and raised the matter with Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm. In a Nov. 12 letter to council, Pimm states that in order to use ALR land for a non-farm use like music festivals, an application to the ALC must be made.

He said the B.C. government “does not have any involvement in individual applications or decisions made

by the ALC.” However, the minister goes on to say the province is currently undergoing a core review of all government agencies and activities, and that Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett, who is overseeing the review, has indicated the Agricultural Land Reserve will be a part of the review.

Pimm and Bennett recently came under fire when cabinet documents were leaked outlining a strategy to break up the ALR into two zones, one that would cover the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley and the Okanagan, and a northern zone where the Oil and Gas Commission would play a greater role in ALR land removal applications.

District administrator Heidi Frank told council the news has prompted division among local governments – those calling for greater protection of the ALC, and those wanting change.

There is a similar division among Sicamous councillors.

“Being a new councillor, I’m not sure what the previous view is, but I like the ALC,” commented Suzanne Carpenter.

“I know how it works and I think I’m probably not with ev-

erybody here, but boy, we have to protect our lands, because we need food in the future, we need food for our children, we need a stable industry. If we didn’t have this, half those orchards would be sold off.”

Coun. Don Richardson was of a different mindset, saying the commission is more of a hinderance than good.

“Up in the hills where I live with a bunch of rocks, that is not farmland,” said Richardson.

“And yet, I’m compelled by a whole lot of bureaucratic dumbness to comply with this stuff. What we are saying is you guys need to revisit your boundaries. Because way back in whatever, they just took a map and made a bunch of lines and said, ‘this is ALR.’” Coun. Terry Rysz agreed with Richardson on the need for a review of the ALR. Speaking specifically to Sicamous’ situation, he recommended council send a delegation to meet with the minister to reiterate the district’s concerns.

Coun. Fred Busch said what the district is asking isn’t necessarily going to take the dog park out of the land commission.

“All we’re asking is if we can have

this music festival… the Stomp, on those premises,” said Busch.

“That is not necessarily saying that in the future, this land couldn’t once again go back to growing corn or alfalfa or whatever crops that

it used to have. I think there is that difference… we’re not going to be putting up houses or paving it over, at least I assume that’s not what we’re going to be doing, paving it over.”

Changes needed to pension program Recently the Conservative federal government opted not to address the very urgent and growing problem that is the Canadian Pension Plan.

Instead offering any sort of meaningful reform or choosing to adequately fund CPP so that Canadians can expect to be taken care of – after having spent a lifetime of paying taxes – the Conservatives instead opted to do nothing, and presumably hope the problem just goes away. It’s no secret that CPP is underfunded. And given the country’s demographics – with millions of Canadians facing retirement in coming years – this is an issue that can’t be put off any longer. Seniors now make up close to 15 per cent of Canada’s population, totalling more than 4 million people. The issue is clear to see: Canadians are living longer and, as a result, drawing on CPP more than in generations past. As result, we need to do a better job of funding CPP if we want it to work.

Finance minister Jim Flaherty needn’t worry about his own financial future, of course. As an MP who has served more than six years in the house of commons, Flaherty has a gold-plated taxpayer-funded pension to draw on for the rest of his life, upon his retirement.

The rest of us aren’t so lucky.

Adequately funding CPP is the fiscally responsible thing to do, but it is also politically difficult. As a result, the Conservatives have taken the easy way out, opting for the instant gratification of low taxes in the present at the cost of a stable future for our citizens.

And isn’t that how we got into this mess in the first place?

Seniors becoming a fitness force Snowshoeing, biking, kayaking – what’s with some of these older people nowadays? If they’re not out jogging in packs or crosscountry skiing, they’re whipping along on their 27-speed hybrid comfort bikes or “nordic walking” with those darned ski poles.

Go to the community centre and they’re either playing pickle ball or in the pool taking part in some aqua-fit program. You can’t go anywhere without having to dodge some senior trying to keep fit. I don’t get it. I get out of breath just trying to cut my lawn with a power mower, never mind shovelling the darned sidewalk. As far as I’m concerned there’s too much snow, I don’t like the cold and winter is too long.

What ever happened to growing old gracefully, with some dignity, doing things like reminiscing about the good-old days or knitting slipper-socks? It seems like every time you turn around there is some new, keep-fit activity for seniors being advertised in the local newspapers or

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray being promoted by groups like the Canadian Heart and Stroke Association or Cancer Society. Yoga for seniors, dance classes, Tai Chi. Where is it going to end?

The other day I read an article about some guy in his nineties that plays hockey several times a week. Mind you, I don’t know how fast-paced the games are because most of his teammates are in their seventies and eighties. My point is, more and more so-called older people are taking part in more and more activities and programs designed to keep them active, healthy and happy. It’s hard to keep up – no pun intended.

On the other hand, regu-

lar physical activity is one of the most important things a person can do for their health.

Regular exercise can help prevent many of the health problems that come with old age. Medical research has shown that, no matter what your age, you can gain significant improvements in strength, range of motion, balance, bone density and mental clarity through a routine of regular exercise. Studies have also shown that exercise can help reduce the risk of numerous diseases and health conditions, including cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, dementia and depression.

The goal of an exercise routine, especially in one’s later years, should be the same as for all those young people you see out trying to get ahead of the old fogies – strength, cardiovascular health, flexibility and balance.

The trick, though, to any exercise program is to be not only realistic but also smart about it. A preventable injury can put an older

person out of commission for a lot longer than when they were younger.

No matter how old or young you are, proper form and technique are key to avoiding injury. Always avoid the temptation to overdo things in terms of both workout length and intensity.

Exercise can quite literally add years onto your life. Exercising increases your metabolism, which helps keep your weight and blood sugar in check, and certain types of exercise also helps build and maintain your muscles, which in turn helps maintain balance which helps to prevent falls.

While exercise can sometimes be a test of both strength and will, it should not be seen as a chore – with the possible exception of shovelling the side walk.

After all, the whole point of exercising should be about enjoying life rather than simply maintaining it.

So if you can’t beat them, you might as well join them. Anyone want to go snowshoing?

Your Health &

Wellness

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Cold Canadian winter not slowing down dedicated runners (NC) While some spend winter hibernating on the couch, a growing number of Canadians are hitting the snow-covered streets for thrilling – and certainly “chilling” – runs.

Foregoing the warmth of a gym’s treadmill, these runners view winter’s cold and unpredictable conditions as part of the fun. However, experts do advise winter runners to take the necessary precautions to stay protected from both the elements and traffic.

“It’s important for winter runners to wear footwear that is reflective, warm and water-resistant,” says Claire Rankine, Communications Director at Nike Canada.

“This way you won’t have to cut your run short if you step in slush or deep snow, and you remain highly visible to drivers who might not expect to see someone out running in the cold.”

Rankine recommends the Nike Flash Pack, a water repel-

lant line of shoes that sport a unique reflective print that hides subtly during the day before coming alive under nighttime lights to help runners stay visible.

She also advises winter runner to dress warmly and wear multiple layers.

“One challenge of winter running is finding, and remaining at, the right level of warmth in changing climates,” says Rankine. “You’ll want to find a water-resistant, reflective coat that integrates special details tailored for runners such as hand warm-

ers that pull down from the sleeves and runner-specific hoods that stay put to help keep ears warm in inclement weather.”

To stay motivated during Canada’s long winter, Rankine also recommends a Nike+ FuelBand SE, which allows her to keep track of runs and compare her progress with friends.

“Wearing reflective footwear and jackets to stay warm and dry will help keep you running throughout the winter,” says Rankine, “but it’s always much easier when you can share your progress with friends and cheer each other on.”

Maintain your health with Vitamin B12

TAMMY HOWKINS

stomach via acids and the enzyme pepsin (an example of protease). The absorption and utilization of B12 requires adequate calcium, B6 and iron.

Together with folic acid, vitamin B12 is vital to energy production, immune function and maintenance of nerve tissue. It is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation. Vitamin B12 increases the body’s supply of our sleep hormone, melatonin, and is necessary for the conversion of beta-carotene

LAURA LAVIGNE

SHERRY KAUFMAN

PENNY BROWN

Vitamin B-12, also called cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin, one of the eight B vitamins. Vitamin B12 is a unique vitamin because it cannot be made by plants or higher animals (such as mammals and birds) but only by microorganisms (such as bacteria and fungi). For this reason, many of our dietary sources of this vitamin do not actually synthesize it themselves.

Most vitamin B12 in foods is bound to proteins that must be cleaved before absorption.

These proteins are removed in the

into vitamin A in the body. Many elderly people are thought to be deficient in this vitamin as a result of poor assimilation. A sublingual tablet, which dissolves under the tongue, bypasses the stomach and does not require a special enzyme, intrinsic factor, for proper absorption. The body stores a supply of Vitamin B12 that can last from two years to five years. Vitamin B12 is best known for its treatment of anemia and fatigue.

Year in review: The last six months of the year are featured this week.

July Five local First Nations’ bands: Adams Lake, Neskonlith, Splats’in, Little Shuswap and Kamloops, all participated in the Pulling Together Canoe journey this year. For the past 12 years, First Nations groups with RCMP, choose different routes on B.C. waters to paddle together in an effort to break down the barriers between police and First Nations. This year the event started in Enderby with a Sunrise Ceremony with canoes hitting the water at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 27. They continued on to St. Ives, Celista, Quaaout Lodge, Chase and Pritchard, and finished off in Kamloops, seven days later, in time to participate in the Kamloops Pow wow.

In the past, the camp was held much earlier, but the coach tried a new strategy this year by hosting the camp closer to the hockey season. Every player had to earn a spot on the team as all positions are up for grabs.

The coach has a very specific goal this year – to win.

Shuswap Zone 8 was represented well at the BC Seniors Games as they brought home the second-most medals – 122 gold, 105 silver, and 103 bronze, totally 330. They were beaten only by Fraser Valley Zone 3 which took home 403 medals. Linda Shilling, Ingrid Whalley, Tony James Haas, Linda Haas, Andy McLaren, Norma Bischoff and Lorna Beecroft all represented Chase and area well as they all

brought home medals in several events.

Event organizer Diana Endean was very pleased with the turnout and success of the fourth annual CornStock Festival held in Chase. A combination of great weather, great volunteers and committee, sponsors, participants, vendors and entertainers is credited for the success.

Historically this time of year would see the Chase RCMP detachment cracking down on marijuana growops also known as the annual “harvesting” crackdown. However, for the second year in a row, the detachment didn’t have the budget for the manpower and time to search for grow-ops in the area.

RCMP still actively investigated and performed seizures, just on a smaller scale.

Flowers and plants colour our lives on many different levels

Profile of the week Norbert Lazarus, Your German Painter - Master’s business owner, is not a regular painter like many others. Norbert started as an apprentice in 1973 in Germany, and after three years, he went to a special painter school where he got his Master’s Degree in Painting. He has worked in countries like SaudiArabia and Egypt as painter supervisor, and since 2007 he has worked for big companies where he has been responsible for very exclusive buildings.

Now, Norbert has his own company, which started last year and has moved to the Shuswap area. With more than 35 years as a painter, you can expect very fast, precise, and truly professional work; Norbert does every kind of painting and he also is an expert in professional wallpaper hanging. You can contact him at 778-220-2776 or email him at: norbertlazarus@ gmail.com

Other choices for winter are the beautiful orchids, the brightly tri-coloured plant I just bought from the grocery store called a kalanchoe, African violets or the unfortunately short-blooming winter cactus or impressive amaryllis.

Your potted geraniums from summer will sometimes keep their pretty blooms for quite

a while, or maybe even some good fake flowers might do the trick.

Ideally, you want plants that have long-lasting blooms with plenty of colour, so check out the florists, grocery and plant stores to see what pick-me-ups they have to offer.

We should never underestimate flower power and how they can affect our psychological well-being and grey matter. Take for example the University of Florida brain awareness study, in which
