On the road with Grandpa Dan

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Spring break is over and students are settled into their daily routine of reading, writing and arithmetic. They doubtlessly compared notes when they got back, telling their friends what they had done on their vacation.

Of all the stories they might have, 7-year-old Hillcrest student Riley Barke has legitimate claim to one of the most unusual. Riley spent a week with his grandpa on the job, and saw a bit of the country as well – Grandpa Dan is a truck driver.

It was a kind of spur-of-the-moment decision. Riley and his younger sister, Anneka, 5, were going to stay overnight with their grandparents, Dan and Linda Keats. His grandpa was leaving that night for a week-long trip. Spring vacation was half over but Riley figured out that he could go and be back in time for school. He had been wanting to go on a trip for a long time.

Jody Keats, Riley’s mom, laughs as she says how she heard the story.

“I asked Riley how he got grandpa to let him go and he said, ‘It was easy, I just asked him if I could go with him, went downstairs and waited...’”

He had also enlisted some

pretty powerful help: “I asked Grandma and she asked Grandpa,” says Riley in a matter-of-fact tone.

With only his overnight bag, Riley climbed into the truck that evening and they were on their way to Manitoba with a load of bathtubs.

“He slept the first day and a half. After he had his day of sleep, he was fine,” says Dan. The Kenworth W900 is all about luxurious comfort with plenty of room in the cab for two beds and a fridge.

“I love the bunk – it’s so comfy,” says Riley.

Their first stop was Moose Jaw to have supper and a short visit with relatives. Then it was back in the truck and off to Winnipeg, their second stop, where they dropped off the bathtubs and picked up a load of mineral supplements that go into feed for cattle, pigs and chickens. This would be dropped at several Hutterite farms in northern Manitoba and Alberta.

“This was my first long trip – it was pretty good,” says Riley. “You had tons of stuff to do.”

Riley did have an iPod to

friends&neighbours

by Leah Blain keep him entertained for a while, but then he accidentally locked himself out so that was the end of the iPod for the trip.

He had a couple of books (ThunderCats and Ghost Warrior) but mostly he and his grandpa just talked.

“We talked a lot. He did most of the talking about when he was a boy in the old days and stuff.”

Dan is obviously very proud that Riley did so well in the truck for a week and he enjoyed the company.

“I’ve never spent that kind of time with Riley; I had a lot of fun.”

There is a subject where their stories diverge. Depending on whom you ask, the details of their meals and snacks are slightly different.

According to Dan, Riley didn’t get too much in the way of ‘junk food’ and had healthy cereal for breakfast.

Riley has a different (and definitely more fun) version: “I think I got 17 hot chocolates; I got four donuts and one crispy chicken sandwich – the ones that just came out.”

He grins as he tells the story about their stop at KFC on the way back. His grandpa mistakenly gave Riley ‘the big box’ – so Riley got more chicken.

They had a few stops at the Hutterite colonies.

“It’s a different way of life and it’s good for kids to see that. It’s a different way of thinking and it’s not a bad thing,” says Dan. “In these colonies they teach all the kids from the time they’re 10 until they grow up to run the farms.

They learn welding, carpentry, mechanics, and how to run the equipment. It’s hands-on. They have their own churches and schools. They all eat together and work the farm. One of the farms is 9000 acres.”

Riley has a picture of himself with a few of the Hutterite

boys.

“They dress differently from us. They wear black suits and then all fancy stuff for the rest. On our last one [drop] we had to wait until they were done church,” says Riley.

Dan says these Hutterite colonies play a big role in our country as they supply much of the beef, chicken and pork.

Their farms, he says, are beautifully kept and ‘biosecure.’

Riley didn’t get homesick while he was away. He didn’t talk too much on the phone to mom or dad, Ryan Barke, but Jody says he called one time, and after a conversation with her, he really wanted to talk to his sister Anneka.

He saw lots of mountain goats and that was fun. But he didn’t really get to enjoy the scenery as they covered all those miles of beautiful country. At the age of seven you’re just not tall enough to see out the front window.

“The dash is so big – I was just staring at the Kenworth sign.”

It just did.

HEALTH & BEAUTY Wheat grass juice

Wheat grass is a young, green, sprouted wheat plant (genus Agropyron) from one to two weeks of age. Once it reaches the height of 12 to 20 cm it can be cut and then juiced. Grass is difficult to digest so it is taken in the form of juice. It has been gaining in popularity for quite some time. In fact, some franchises now also offer wheat grass juice.

It is an excellent food for people who are trying to loose weight as it contains few calories and provides a lot of nutrition. One ounce of wheat grass juice is equivalent in food value to two and a half pounds of green leafy vegetables. The vitamin and mineral content of this grass is equivalent to roughly 20 times that of fresh vegetables.

This grass is also a great source of vitamins A, B, C, E and K, calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, sodium, sulphur and various other minerals.

It has about 19 forms of amino acids, which are building blocks for protein so many gym goers drink this juice.

It contains chlorophyll, which has shown to build red blood cells, remove toxins, release free oxygen, promote higher metabolism and stimulate the enzyme system. Dr. Ann Wigmore, a pioneer in wheat grass therapy, has reported its anti-cancer properties. This is specifically due to selenium and laetrile, which are anti-cancer compounds found abundantly in wheat grass.

Moreover, there are different types of enzymes present in it, which may have a deterrent ability against cancerous cells. In India, people with cancer take up to 40 grams of the juice from this grass once or twice a day as a supporting treatment.

People with cancer should talk to their physician before starting any alternative therapies, including

wheat grass juice.

Wheat grass also energizes the body and has anti-inflammatory properties. Dr. Wigmore has also mentioned its positive effects in arthritis and it may help to slow the graying of hair. Wheat grass juice is

familychiropractic COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

Fermenting foods for health

In my article last week, I discussed the importance of maintaining a proper balance of good bacteria in our digestive tract. The microorganisms in our intestine protect us from cancer-causing agents in foods, fight off dangerous organisms, reduce inflammation and allergies, stimulate immune cells, produce vitamins, and help the body to absorb minerals. With so many important effects, everyone needs to ensure they are consuming sufficient numbers of these organisms.

One of the main reasons probiotic supplements have become so popular (and essential) is that food storage and food preparation methods have changed greatly over the past 100 years. Previous generations (and in many other less-developed areas of the world) refrigeration was not, and is not, readily available. So, in order to preserve foods for consumption outside the growing season, fermentation was (and is) used. With a fridge in every Canadian kitchen, it may no longer be a necessity to ferment and preserve foods today; however, cultured vegetables are making a comeback for their countless health benefits.

Cultured vegetables are a type of superfood that contribute immensely to the healing and building of our internal ecosystem. Basically, they’re what most people know as “sauerkraut” and pickles; however, to receive the benefits of these foods they cannot be the processed, pasteurized (heated) type readily available from the supermarket, because this kills off the very organisms we are trying to consume.

Sauerkraut is made by shredding cabbage or a combination of cab-

bage and other vegetables and then packing them into an airtight container. They are left to ferment naturally at room temperature for several days or longer. Friendly bacteria naturally present in the vegetables quickly lower the pH levels making a more acidic environment so the bacteria can reproduce. The vegetables become soft, delicious and somewhat “pickled.” In addition to sauerkraut, other cultured foods include pickles, yogurt, kefir, unheated cheeses, fermented gruels, miso, kombucha tea, and hundreds of others which all contain healthy organisms essential for good gut flora.

Eating a quarter to half a cup of these cultured vegetables with every meal will ensure you are maintaining a healthy balance of good bacteria in your digestive tract. Consuming probiotic supplements will also maintain a healthy balance, but a much less expensive method is to try fermenting your own veggies at home.

For easy instructions how to do this, go to YouTube and search for Dr. Mercola’s video titled “Fermented Vegetables Demo.” This will walk you through the whole inexpensive process that can be done at home.

When you first start introducing these cultures to your diet, be sure to start slow. As the good bacteria kick out the bad ones, you may experience some mild discomfort and symptoms. Don’t be afraid of this as it shows they are functioning as nature intended and your body is changing into a much healthier state.

To make chiropractic part of a healthy lifestyle call Dr. Warren Gage at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224 for an assessment today.

Falkland first responders alive and well

By Judy Vandergucht We want to advise everyone that we are alive and well, in spite of statements that have been made in relation to the demise of the Falkland Rescue Unit. Some news reports indicated that the rescue first responders are no more, and using the term ‘first responders’ has caused us some grief.

Although the service has not been operational for some time, there are still people indicating that they are sorry our service (First Responders) is no more. I guess that’s what happens in a small town when someone get hung up on a story that is incorrect and has a hard time getting the facts straight.

It is unfortunate that the Rescue Unit is no more as they provided a vary valuable service (namely jaws of life) and now this service has to be done throughVernon or Kamloops, which is definitely not a good solution because of the distance problems. There has been talk of the service being taken over by the Falkland fire department, but shortage of volunteers creates a problem.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, “volunteer” has become a nasty word, with many services unable

to function for lack of volunteers. We are very fortunate that we have just signed up new volunteers who will be undergoing training in the next few months. Several of our ongoing volunteers were injured this past year, leaving us with a shortage of qualified volunteers, so we are very grateful for the new people signing up.

The Annual General Meeting of First Responders will be held on April 20th in the Seniors Centre Hall starting at 7:00 p.m. We are encouraging all those who are interested in the work of the Responders to turn out and offer input. For those unfamiliar with the work of the Responders, we meet twice a month in the old Fire Hall on Gyp Road. Sometimes there is an update on procedures; as well it is a time for exchange of ideas. We will be running a food booth at the stampede again, which is one of our fundraisers. Later we will be holding a dinner for the North Okanagan Bluegrass Jamboree in June. We are always looking for fundraising ideas as we get no support from the provincial government, only the regional districts. For more info please phone 250-370-2608.

Students win medals

Hike for Hospice

Three local students brought home medals after taking part in the provincial Skills Canada competition at the TradeX in Abbotsford earlier in April.

Jacob Wall of A.L. Fortune edged classmate and last year’s provincial gold medal winner, Kurtis Gordey, for gold in the automotive collision repair technician competition. Kurtis Gordey was close behind and took silver.

The district’s other medal came in the automotive painting competition where Conor Ahola of A.L. Fortune won bronze.

The district’s two other participants, Logan Green, of A.L. Fortune and Gavin Vliet, of Pleasant Valley Secondary School, also did very well but were not quite in the medals, commented District Career Supervisor Mark Marino.

Marino says he thinks it’s the first time the school district has had students win gold medals in two consecutive years in the same category.

“Competing at this level and winning medals is a real testament to the hard work and skills of the students, supported by their teachers, employers and families.”

He comments that the group of students taking part in the provincial competition were excellent ambassadors of the school district.

The Shuswap Hospice Society will once again be hosting its annual Hike for Hospice event at the Enderby Cliffs. This hike is in partnership with the Shuswap Trail Alliance and sponsored

by Marketplace IGA. It takes place Sunday, May 14th, with registration beginning at 8:00 a.m. at the MarketPlace IGA parking lot. The hike itself begins at 8:30 a.m. at Enderby Cliffs. Sorry, there will be no dogs allowed on this hike.

Refreshments will be available afterwards.

The annual Hike for Hospice is a unique national event with hikes being hosted by various hospice societies across Canada. It’s an event that brings together people working together in hospice palliative care to raise funds and awareness. Pre-registration is required, at $15 per person or $25 per family.

Please call 250-832-7099 to register and for more information.

THE JOYS OF BEING A GRANDPARENT Recently I spent a few days in Victoria, where all my family lives. On my way there, I stopped in Kamloops and watched grandson Colton Wood pitch a baseball game at the Best in the West tournament. His brother Broeden was there too, but I didn’t see him pitch. Their sister Kierra is at UBC and I didn’t see her. A highlight in Victoria was when I sat and watched Zenon Scales at a piano lesson using the Suzuki method. Fascinating! I was a teacher for Jazmin Scales who wanted to learn how to make Ukrainian crepes, nalysnyky.

Then I was a student as son-number-one introduced me to Facebook on my laptop. I had taken an all-day workshop in social media at Quaaout Lodge before my trip and felt ready to use it, but I’m still learning.

SENIORS JOIN FACEBOOK TO STAY IN TOUCH Now that I have a Facebook page, see above paragraph, I have a whole new world open to me. Forty-five per cent of new Facebook users are 65+, mainly women, because grandma wants to keep in touch with her grandchildren.

It is especially good for seniors who are housebound.

Facebook is losing people aged 18 to 25 because they do not want to be at a party with mom and dad. They do come back, though.

BUSINESSES GAIN EXPOSURE AT THE HOME SHOW Shaw Centre hosted a spring home show last weekend.

I met the most interesting people, right from the first display where a man I didn’t know said “Hello Sally.” Tim recognized me from the picture in this column.

TIM MASCARENHAS, www.steelewoodbuilders.ca Tim is a home-builder and renovator in Eagle Bay and Salmon Arm. His family moved from Calgary seven years ago after holidaying on the Shuswap. He has a B.A. in urban planning and an M.Sc in industrial design. He incorporates steel and wood in his full design service and that’s why he is Steelewood Builders Inc. KEVIN REIMER, www.bigyellowbag.com Reimer’s Farm Service is known for delivering truckloads of shavings, sawdust, bark mulch, manure, etc., but a year ago Kevin began delivering one cubic yard of products to homes in a BigYellowBag. His motto is You Call… We Deliver. His products are black garden soil, fir landscape mulch, wood chips, sawdust, composted manure, and Nature’s Gold mulch products.

CHRIS BARTSCH, http://modernpurair.com/locations/salmonarm.php Chris was raised in Salmon Arm and graduated from SASS in 2006. In Kelowna he worked for Modern PURAIR which offers furnace and air duct cleaning, filter maintenance, coil cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and indoor air quality testing. When the franchise for Salmon Arm came available, he moved here in July 2013.

Letters to the Editor Your life is in your hands

It’s nice to see the topic of mammograms is alive and well in just about every issue. I read last week’s letter where Sally Scales is saying we should rely on our fingers to detect a lump. Oh, how wrong you are! I went to my doctor in October for a physical; he did a self exam on me and detected nothing. Two months later I went for my yearly mammogram and cancer was found. My tumour was found at 1.7 mm; most tumours that are found with the fingers are 10 mm. So, you have a choice: keep getting checked with a mammogram and

have it found early (my treatments from diagnosis to being finished were six months) or you can wait until it’s 10 mm and I can guarantee your treatments will be at least a year or more! I also think going every year is a must; if I would have waited another year, who knows at what stage I would have been in. Please ladies, keep getting those mammograms! I realize that everyone has their own opinion – just remember that your life is in your hands!

AMBROSIA SALAD IS THE BEST IN TOWN The deli at Askew’s downtown has the best ambrosia salad in Salmon Arm. Cheryl, the deli manager, uses her recipe. The salad contains mandarin oranges, pineapple tidbits, grapes, small marshmallows and unsweetened coconut, all in vanilla yogurt. I usually ask for a spoon and start enjoying the salad on the bench near the flower display.

INFLUENZA DRUGS ARE WORTHLESS Tamiflu shortens flu symptoms by half a day. The Canadian government stockpiled $20 million worth of the drugs, especially after the H1N1 swine flu scare.

Governments poured some $9 billion globally to stockpile in case of a pandemic. However, authors of a new study, published in the British Medical Journal this month, suggest the influenza antiviral probably works no better than Aspirin and possibly causes harm.

Drugmaker Roche gave regulators and independent research groups only a little bit of data from clinical studies of Tamiflu. A new study released last month raises questions about whether it’s worth it to take Tamiflu. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831 The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of Sally Scales and do not necessarily represent those of Lakeshore News and its staff.

Mason leaves Community Futures

Community Futures Shuswap regrets to bid Joanne Mason farewell as she departs from her position as Executive Director. Joanne and her family will be relocating in Eastern Canada as they take on new challenges and begin a new chapter in their lives, a move made in the best interest of the family. Joanne’s contribution has been unmatched in

her short time with CF-Shuswap.

She will leave the organization on a solid footing and her hard work and professionalism will be missed. The Board will be seeking a replacement shortly who can continue the positive direction of CF while working closely with many community partners.

Spring has sprung around the Shuswap! I know you are tired of me writing about tax topics, so for your entertainment, I’ll give you a couple random kid stories.

For a cat like Duma, spring means the start of hunting season. Even when we had a fair bit of snow on the ground, Duma started bringing home treasures and dropping them by the front door. Now with all the snow gone, she is busy as a beaver stocking every mouse hole and wood pile around.

The other day my nephew was over to play with his cousins. After seeing all the mouse carnage around the yard, he exclaimed, “Man! How would you like to be that mouse? You spend all winter hibernating and relaxing; then you come out of your mouse hole to enjoy some sun and the first thing that happens is Duma gets you.

That would really stink!”

Being that I’m not the biggest fan of rodents, my sympathy for the mouse is pretty minimal; besides, it saves me a few bucks on cat food!

Then the other night I wandered into the bathroom to brush my teeth before bed. The only problem was, I couldn’t find my toothbrush. It seemed strange as I always have my toothbrush in the same spot beside the sink. So I asked my wife if she’d seen it anywhere.

She sheepishly replied, “Umm, Nate took it.”

It was bad enough that he took it, but he was having a sleepover at a friend’s place which meant he took it with him to his friends.

“Why did Nate take it?” I replied.

To which she responded, “Well, he couldn’t find his toothbrush and needed one for the sleepover. He decided to take yours and said, ‘I never see Dad using this thing anyway!’”

“Seriously? Well he can keep it now. I’ll buy a new one!” I replied.

The irony in it is I’m a little obsessive about brushing my teeth; not that my children would notice. I guess I’m going to have to start strutting around my house mid-day brushing my teeth from now on or at the very least, hide my toothbrush.

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

It’s been a few seasons ago now, but the pilot of our older red and white Beaver aircraft began to rev the engine into a tight turn, as we pulled away from the sea plane base at Ketchikan, Alaska.

Destination? Whales Pass, a small logging/fishing community about a onehour flight from town. At 3,000 feet, the world took on a whole new perceptive, the land base below glistening with lakes, rivers, mountains and the rippling green of the ocean below. We landed at Thorne’s Bay, another logging stop-off, to deliver supplies to the local store and pick up mail, then it was off to the large spacious fishing lodge my son was to operate that summer. I was there to do clean-up; to get the fleet of boats ready for a busy summer of chinook and halibut angling for rich customers, and to help with guiding. It was also time for the hundreds of grey whales to pass through from their breeding grounds off California.

Many small communities in southeast Alaska depend on logging or fishing for a living, but the locals said fishing was poor. Biologists staying at the lodge were out each day, studying the issues of underweight seals and sea lion pups– with moms not being able to produce enough milk and nourishment for the babies. Conclusion: Too many trawlers/ draggers are taking the main food source for these and other marine mammals; namely, pollock, sole, and flounder.

This fishing method consists of dragging a very large heavy net along the bottom, targeting ground fish. Off our BC coast, DFO has now requested that draggers and prawners avoid nine delicate sponge reef zones in the Straight of Georgia, not because of reducing marine mammals’ food supply, but because sponges are very delicate, comprised of a silica skeleton, and provide protection for juvenile rock fish and invertebrates while filtering out impurities in ocean water.

Although the Alaska fisheries com-

mittees do consult with Canadian authorities over fishing rights including ground fish, it appears they take what they want, even it it is Canadian stock including salmon and halibut. Last fishing season, Canadian fishermen complained that the Yanks took large numbers of our chinook salmon off southern Alaska. These are returning stocks destined for the Skeena/ Nass river systems.

We all love our halibut. For those that have the opportunity to angle for these awesome fish, we are allowed a catch of 1.06 million pounds, or one fish per day of 83 cm (20) lbs and 1 large 126 cm (70) lbs total possession. Meaning, we kept 266,000 in the water. In the Alaska fishery, in only two zones in the annual pollock bycatch fishery, there were eight million pounds of “ping pong paddle” immature halibut taken, which is one million pounds more than the Canadian yearly quota.

For salmon, each time a trawl is hauled, it represents half a chinook salmon, or 100,000 chinook a year in their bycatch. On the subject of salmon, a recent news release stated that Russian hatcheries are pumping out huge numbers of pink and sockeye salmon from recently-built hatcheries. A study correlated this with seabird population rise and fall. In the high cycle, with millions of salmon, the abundance of zooplankton and squid dropped, as both kittiwakes and puffins had reduced egg production because of poor nutrition; both utilize the same food source. It was estimated 640 million pink salmon returned to rivers in Asia and North America. Is it possible this is now where the 35 million sockeye returned four years ago and an estimated 70 million will return this fall? It’s a compelling question. Go to www.environmentalhealthnews.org to find out more.

Here and there in the Shuswap

Seven more Roosevelt cow elk on Vancouver Island have died at the hands

of unscrupulous hunters. The slaughter has to stop, as early last year the same thing happened, with more animals shot and left, or with only portions of meat taken. After all, these magnificent animals were transplants and not residents.

As well, conservation officers hands are tied, as they have been told by the powers-that-be to look the other way when it comes to communal/illegal hunting/ fishing/for natives. White hunters would have the book thrown at them if caught.

A First Nations summit holding meetings in Ottawa with federal agencies has told all that the Northern Gateway project is dead one way or another, while other bands have signed on. Interesting!

Ferries: Many anglers/hunters use BC ferries to travel to salmon/halibut angling/hunting areas.

In my opinion, there is mounting pressure to put the ferries back into the highway system, fire the board that makes decisions, and increase ridership.

They should reduce costs by getting a rate for fuel ($21 million a year), and bring costs in line by cutting union demands and pension plans.

Food: At the current BC Wildlife Federation AGM held in Kelowna, Vancouver Sun writer Randy Shore has won an award for his article regarding hunting and usage of the animal you harvest, as opposed to buying and using portions of factory-farmed animals for food. Resident scientists along BC’s coast will shortly begin testing for radiation levels in sea water, after the Fukushima meltdown three years ago.

Levels are expected to be very low.

Remember: Do one more thing at the end of the day, and at the end of the year you’ll have done 365 more things. Tight lines and good fishin.’ I’m off to Chilliwack for a bit of sturgeon fishing!

Shuswap communities supporting a greener BC

SALMON ARM–The B.C. government is providing $56,072 to local governments in the Shuswap in recognition for their commitment to support healthier, more sustainable communities.

Funding is being provided through the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program, and will be shared by Salmon Arm, Sicamous, Armstrong, and Enderby. The grant will continue to support their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and work toward its Climate Action Charter goals.

The B.C. government awarded the following grants in the Shuswap: Salmon Arm: $45,296; Sicamous:

$2,767; Armstrong: $3,036; and Enderby: $4,973.

“I am pleased to see Salmon Arm, Sicamous, Armstrong, and Enderby receive this funding in recognition for their efforts in reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. “This program provides real incentives to reduce emissions creating greener, more livable communities in the Shuswap.”

The Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program is a conditional grant program that provides funding to Climate Action Charter signatories.

Communities that signed the Climate

Action Charter and report publicly on their progress toward meeting their climate action goals are eligible to receive a grant equivalent to 100 per cent of the carbon tax they pay directly. A total of $6.8 million province wide will be paid out in the fiscal year 2013/14.

Since 2008, the B.C. government has provided $19 million through the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program. Climate Action Charter communities monitor and chart their progress year over year. They also support public transparency. Currently, 96 per cent of communities in B.C. have signed the Climate Action Charter.

Music in the park

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Last Saturday morning a group of early childhood educators, along with several Rotary members, installed a wooden xylophone, whale drum, and interpretive signage in the park next to Okanagan College. This was made possible through a grant from Early Childhood Educators of BC and VanCity C o m m u n i t y Foundation, with the Shuswap Children’s Association sponsoring sponsoring the installation.

Hard work, along with several bags of

Friday, April 18, 2014 Lakeshore News A9

cement, was required to install the whale drum and the posts to hold up the xylophone and the signs. The signs are designed and written to be inviting, and to make people think about nature. This was the final part in the T.R.U.E. in the Trees Grant. (“Together, relax, unplug, explore.”)

Before the xylophone could be placed in its location, it was checked

out and a protective coating was applied to it by the children in the Loft program at the Downtown Activity Centre.

Pictured: Nathan Meakes (left) and Randy Brogden level the sign supports; Melody Low tests out the xylophone just before it gets its weather-protective coating. Howard Vangool photos.

Letters to the Editor

Redirect Hockeyville spirit towards ‘Backs

The Shuswap Recreation Society would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the community for coming together with tremendous support for the Hockeyville contest and for raising the profile of Salmon Arm on the national stage. The support was reminiscent of the rally we experienced in 1998 when the vision of a new multiplex came to fruition. The Society, as stewards of recreation facilities and programing for the City, are acutely aware of the challenges of providing affordable activities and well-maintained facilities and are excited about the prospect of having an extra $50,000 for the Shaw Centre in particular.

Whatever the project or projects

(yet to be determined), rest assured it will be well-spent.

The Shuswap Recreation Society would also like to take this opportunity to use the success of the Hockeyville experience and convert it into renewed support for one of our hockey partners, the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. As many fans know we are experiencing a rebirth of the club under a new ownership group being led by Troy Mick. Support for the SilverBacks had waned over the previous ownership and we are seeing many positive signs with Troy’s group, but there is a ways to go, and the key is community support. It would truly be ironic that Salmon Arm was considered in the top four communi-

ties in terms of hockey spirit if this did not translate equally to support for our team. The timing could not be better. We have a solid ownership group, a talented management group, a great facility, and with the price reductions this year, the best entertainment value in town.

We encourage the community of Salmon Arm to continue the enthusiasm for hockey by supporting the SilverBacks through ticket sales, corporate sponsorship or volunteerism thus living up to the Hockeyville label we have strived for.

Sincerely, Dale Berger, General Manager, on behalf of the Shuswap Recreation Society

Letters to the Editor Inspired by Pope Francis

Last night I was watching 60 Minutes on KCTS TV about Pope Francis’ first eight months in office.

What a breath of fresh air–a Christian actually practicing what he preaches!

We see him going to prison to wash the feet of a Muslim, a Jew, and a homosexual; as well as turfing out the dry rot in the institution, and inviting in those who think outside the box.

This being my 45th year of ministry in the Shuswap, I am inspired by the example Francis sets before us, and pledge a redoubling of my efforts to do likewise. I would encourage all of us who live in the Shuswap to join together in this movement which originated with St. Francis of Assisi.

The Columbia Shuswap Invasive Species Society (CSISS) recently celebrated its first birthday, and has been hard at work documenting and taking action on invasive species in the region. Thanks to support from the Columbia Basin Trust and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, the organization is pleased to kick off its second operational season.

Spring is a critical time to watch out for invasive plants in backyards, farmland, parks and roadsides. As gardeners come out from winter hibernation, CSISS would like to make sure that seed orders avoid invasive varieties.

“Many weeds are originally introduced as garden flowers, and to this day some gardens continue to be a problematic source of spread” says Robyn Hooper, CSISS Education and Outreach Officer.

The introduction of invasive species into natural surroundings can have negative impacts on native plants, animals, and even humans.

Prevention is key as it is often an uphill battle with invasive species. Beautiful ornamentals, such as Yellow Flag Iris (pictured), are deceptively dangerous invaders. Their showy yellow blooms are popular with gardeners; however, they can easily get out of control. Yellow Flag Iris reproduce quickly through seed dispersal and horizontal root systems to create dense thickets in ditches, irrigation canals, marshes, stream and lake shorelines and shallow ponds. “Local groups such as the Little White Lake Stewardship group have been working hard to combat this species and save important

habitat for painted turtles,” says Natalie Stafl, CSISS Coordinator.

This spring and summer, CSISS will attend a number of public events, as well as host presentations for schools, gardeners, trails users, and other interested groups. For more information or to book a presentation, please contact info@columbiashuswapinvasives.org.

To learn more about invasive plants in our region or find out if your plant list contains any of these invaders please visit www.columbiashuswapinvasives. org or call 1-855-PUL-WEED.

Styrofoam recycling drop-off on Earth Day

The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) along with Interior Freight and Bottle Depot and Venture Training Centre is providing free Styrofoam drop-off on Tuesday, April 22nd, which coincides with Earth Day! Residents may drop off clean Styrofoam items such as egg cartons, meat trays, cups, containers, packing blocks and peanuts for free recycling at Venture Training Centre, and Interior Freight and Bottle Depot during their regular business hours on the 22nd. The location and hours of operation of the Earth Day free Styrofoam drop-off locations are as follows: Venture Training Centre, 4240 Alexis Park Dr. 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Interior Freight and Bottle Depot, 4205 24 Ave, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The Styrofoam collected will be processed using an Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Styrofoam densification machine which heats and compresses the Styrofoam, producing a dense plastic product. “Styrofoam recycling creates a raw material that can be used to make items such as helmets, bike parts, mirror and picture frames and other hard plastic products” says Karmen Morgan, RDNO Waste Reduction Coordinator.

For residents who are unable to attend the free Earth Day drop-off, year-round Styrofoam dropoff is available in Vernon at Interior Freight and Bottle Depot, and Venture Training Centre. A $3 per bag handling fee will be charged at these drop-off locations until May 18th. Effective May 19th, Styrofoam may be dropped off at no charge at these depots as part of the new Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC) Printed Paper and Packaging (PPP) Stewardship Program. Programs like the MMBC PPP program place the full life cycle cost of a product on the product producer.

A number of Product Stewardship Programs have been in operation in British Columbia for many years. The tire and electronic waste stewardship programs are two examples. For more information about the MMBC PPP Recycling Program go online to www.multimaterialbc.ca/residents.

Styrofoam drop-off is also available at the Greater Vernon Recycling and Disposal Facility (GVRDF) and the Armstrong Spallumcheen Recycling and Disposal Facility (ASRDF) where recycling and disposal fees (with a $3 minimum fee) apply. For more information contact the RDNO at 250.550.3700 or go to www.rdno.ca/ recycle.

By Louise Barber The spring season was welcomed by a group of enthusiastic dancers at Notch Hill Hall last Saturday.

Many people came dressed in Scottish kilts and had a very enjoyable afternoon of dancing. Thank you so much to the organizer, Wendy Dean, for bringing her group of Sorrento Scottish Country Dancers to Notch Hill Hall. They also donated a beautiful Scottish plaid quilt that they made for a raffle prize.

Congratulations to Lynn Hedley, the lucky winner of the quilt! The door prize, a lovely basket of Scottish items, was won by Debbie Dunsmore-Driver.

John Angus piped in the dancers and a delightful group of four young

girls from Salmon Arm, under the direction of their teacher, Dianne Van Nostrand, gave an excellent demonstration of Highland dancing. Many thanks to Bill Puboda for bringing and setting up his sound equipment. Thank you to Ann and Ron Altmeyer for taking photos; thank you also to the hardworking fundraising committee and special thanks to all who attended and participated in a lively, funfilled spring afternoon of Scottish dancing!

Letters to the Editor

David Pollack asks “Why bother to oppose anti-evolutionist thinking?” nicely expanding the whole evolution issue. (“Sound and fury signifying....?” ; April 11, 2014) We could then, also ask “Why ‘bother’ to ‘oppose’ the irrationality of ANY belief-system, antievolution or otherwise?” In faith-based, unscientific antievolution beliefs, the ‘opposing’ isn’t really undertaken to change minds. If 155 years of Darwinian thinking and scientific study haven’t accomplished that feat, it would be naïve to hope for ‘overdue’ enlightenment! Nor does such ‘opposing’ provide entertainment, despite the amusing–even silly–assertions of antievolutionists. I’m afraid that disappointment and sadness at the sheer depth of their unquestioning dogmatism is felt instead.

But a careful record of how the

Why we should bother to oppose irrationality er’ into first-year biology text- due precisely to an irrational world is rationally thought to work should definitely be kept; that would be a ‘bottom-line’ reason for “bothering” with antievolutionist thinking.

So, beyond keeping a rational record, why bother? A short answer might be that ‘keeping silent’ may suggest approval or acceptance of the antievolution position – in effect, legitimizing it, and giving it undeserved credibility and prominence in society. In the life sciences, we once blithely ignored anti-evolutionist beliefs as trivial – until their clamouring threatened use of high-school and university textbooks that included evolution. As a university staff-member in Alberta in the ‘60s, my Biology Dept. colleagues and I received a memo from the Premier’s office no less, (a “Back to the Bible” talk-show host at the time) instructing us to insert a one-page ‘evolution-disclaim-

Reader chooses to put faith in Bible

The debate over evolution versus creation boils down to one’s beliefs and decisions. A fair decision should be based on expert witnesses. May I quote from a noted evolutionist, Dr. George Wald: “There are only two possibilities as to how life arose; one is spontaneous generation arising to evolution, the other is a supernatural creative act of God; there is no third possibility. Louis Pasteur and others scientifically disproved spontaneous generation that life arose from nonliving matter...That leaves us with only

one possible conclusion, that life arose as a creative act of God. I will not accept that philosophy, because I do not want to believe in God, therefore I choose to believe that which I know was scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation arising to evolution.”

Since either belief is based on faith, I choose to have faith in the Bible which says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Editor’s note: Once again, I have given a lot of space to the creation versus evolution debate, a topic that reared its head less than a year ago with a similar volume of mail. And again, I would like to close this topic and ask that those who have written in on the subject to simply ‘agree to disagree.’ No further letters will be printed.

books! (We didn’t!) Many similar attempts to undermine genuine education have occurred throughout North America, sometimes being thwarted only

by Supreme Court action, as in the U.S. Currently, upwards of 40 % of North Americans – highest in the U.S. – still do not accept evolution, so such irrational beliefs are anything but trivial!

They do, interestingly, make us intellectual “outliers” among developed nations.

David Pollack suggests “not bothering,” and “to direct our energies to making life more bearable for our fellow human beings who are now suffering terribly due to natural and manmade causes.”

Hmmm...I thought ‘bothering’ – correcting misinformation – was doing just that! As a scientist who fully appreciates the importance of ‘cause and effect’ relationships, I have to wonder if David Pollack has considered the possibility (I would say, strong likelihood) that ‘man-made’ and ‘natural causes’ of ‘human suffering’ are, in fact,

viewing of the world and how it works?

For example, the present tragic deterioration of the environment and its ecological systems have come about, almost as a truism, from just such irrational, non-evolutionary, non-ecological views of Nature. Surely, damage must occur, as long as these flawed human beliefs are acted upon?

Hopefully, David Pollack’s “why bother” suggestion doesn’t limit its concern to human suffering, while the faith-based misunderstandings of evolution and ecology inevitably roll on, taking their environmental toll on all life, not just ours? Multitudes of plants and animals are ‘suffering’, too, if we may count as ‘suffering’ environmental degradation and loss of habitat, which together will lead to actual or threatened extinction of so many species. Unfortunately for them, there is no option of “taking (their) chances on the ‘faith’ side,” as David Pollack cynically puts it. Rather, if the evolutionary

shortsightedness persists, faithbased, ‘man-made’ (caused) reality, driven by all its flawed beliefs, will be more than enough for their demise!

In the ‘80s, former union boss Jack Munro bellowed across a conference table, “What good are (endangered) Spotted Owls, anyway!?” His t-shirt proclaimed “Eat a Spotted Owl Today.” In the ‘90s, along Foothill Rd., a woman and her little girl picked rare Mountain Ladyslipper orchids; when queried, she said “God put these orchids here for us to pick.” In the 70s, a prominent Salmon Arm businessman said of the Salmon Arm lakeshore and its possible development, “It’s just a dirty swamp with a bunch of bloody weeds... it’s ready.”

Are these irrational and destructive entrenched mindsets truly “making life more bearable for our fellow human beings” and for all life on Earth? And, must we “bother” to question them? Absolutely – always!

Our natural history did not just happen

As Bill Remphrey suggested, I have pulled my head out of the sand. Actually, I extracted it from a snow bank as no sand is showing yet. Anyway, I have thawed out my frozen head with its little threepound brain, having around ten billion neurons connected by thousands of dendrites, that somehow created themselves over millions of years, accidentally. Remphrey is quite right, I just cannot grasp the imagined principles and processes involved in life’s evolution, because they never happened, and are just suppositions of evolutionists. There is not a shred of proof for the theory of evolution, which claims that all living things in the world have arisen from a single source, which in turn came from an inorganic form, over vast periods of time.

Here is what Dr. Fred Hoyle, the famous British astronomer said about evolution: “At all events, anyone with even a nodding acquaintance with the Rubik cube will concede the near-impossibility of a solution being obtained by a blind person moving the cubic faces at random. Now imagine 1050 blind persons each with a scrambled Rubik cube, and try to conceive of the chance of them all simultaneously arriving at the solved form. You then have the chance of arriving by random shuffling of just one of the many biopolymers on which life depends.

The notion that not only the biopolymers but the operating programme of a living cell could be arrived at by chance in a primordial organic soup here on the Earth is evidently nonsense of a high order.”

Dr. Colin Patterson, senior paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History, and one of the world’s foremost evolutionary experts, asked a group of leading evolutionists the question, “Can you tell me anything about evolution, any one thing that is true?” No one could give him an example.

Replying to a reader’s question about his book, Dr. Patterson said, “I fully agree with your comments on the lack of direct illustration of evolutionary transitions in my book. If I knew of any, fossil or living, I would certainly have included them. There are no transitional fossils. There is not one such fossil for which one might make a watertight argument.” So, after 150 years of gathering millions of fossils, no

transitional fossils have been found. A few fraudulent ones have been made, but later exposed and dismissed. Many of today’s species are identical to their supposedly ancient forms.

Michael Denton, an Australian molecular biologist and medical doctor said in his book, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis: “No one has ever observed the interconnecting continuum of functional forms linking all known past and present species of life. The concept of continuity of nature has existed in the mind of men, never in the facts of nature.”

Soren Lovtrup, a Swedish biologist, said, “only one possibility remains: the Darwinian theory of natural selection, whether or not coupled with Mendelism, is false.”

Remphrey suggests I read Richard Dawkins’ books. No, thank you. I have already read enough of Dawkins’ anti-creationist rant. For the public’s information, Dawkins is presently the world’s most prominent anti-Christian, and is known as the most vocal opponent of all forms of Theistic and Biblical Christianity. He is a militant atheist who tries to turn people to evolution. He preaches that molecules did turn into people over millions of years and that belief in God, the Bible, and its gospel, makes no sense. All of Dawkins’ claims in biology, geology, fossils, radiometric dating, etc. can be refuted.

Dawkins does not face reality, but continually argues that white is black. In his book, The Blind Watchmaker, he argues that given enough time, nature could create everything. Time is the hero of his and evolutionists’ pathetic plot. Vast stretches of time can account for everything. For example, Dawkins tells his readers in The Blind Matchmaker, that even if a statue of the Virgin Mary waved to them, they should not conclude that they had witnessed a miracle. Perhaps (Dawkins’ favourite word), all the atoms of the statue’s arms just happened to move in the same direction at once. A low probability to be sure, but possible. Dawkins is out to lunch, and is probably certifiable.

To conclude, our wonderful natural history did not just happen, it was created by a brilliant super being as recorded in the book of Genesis.

Writing workshop with famous local author

Calling all fiction writers!

The South Shuswap Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library is pleased to present a free fiction writing workshop geared for older teens, college or university students, and other interested adults.

On Saturday, May 3rd, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., published author Gail Anderson-Dargatz will lead a writers in a discussion on how to turn fact into fiction. Fiction writers find inspiration for their writing in both history and personal stories. However, fiction is not real life, and real life often makes for dull or implausible fiction. In this informal workshop, Gail will help in finding

ways to move those real-life stories into fiction, and to avoid common pitfalls and concerns like “What will Mom think?”

Gail has several books, including ‘The Cure for Death

by Lightning’ and ‘A Recipe for Bees’ which were both shortlisted for Canada’s prestigious Giller Prize and were international bestsellers. She

The Lunchbox

Every day in Mumbai, over 5,000 dabbawalas – lunchbox couriers – deliver over 130,000 lunches and pride themselves on being Harvardcertified and never making a mistake. But when Ila (newcomer Nimrat Kaur), a lonely housewife, makes an attempt to warm her neglectful husband’s heart “through his stomach,” she finds

out her delicious meals are being delivered to someone else; Saajan (Irrfan Khan, Life of Pi), an equally lonely widower on the edge of retirement. As they begin to exchange notes in the lunchbox that is delivered back and forth daily, the two strangers form an unlikely friendship sharing advice and confessions of their memories, regrets,

currently teaches fiction in the Creative Writing MFA program at the University of British Columbia, and divides her time between Manitoulin Island and the Shuswap, the landscape found in so much of her writing.

The writing workshop is free, but registration is necessary. To register please call 250-675-4818 or email southshuswap@orl.bc.ca.

The South Shuswap Branch of the ORL is located in the Blind Bay Market at 2676 Fairway Hills Road. For more information on this and other great programs at the library please call 250-6754818 or visit www.orl.bc.ca.

SPORTS & LEISURE Strong season starter

Hockey spirit alive and kicking

By Cy O’Dell As winter came to an end, so too did the Shuswap Seniors’ Hockey League’s season. As the teams have done for a third year running, players from 70 to 98 gathered at the SASCU Recreation Centre for their year-end tournament, dinner and awards. From the singing of the national anthem to the drop of the last puck, it was a raucous and joyous time. SilverBacks players were also on hand for the event.

The league has more than doubled in size since its inception and now boasts seven teams

By Andi King The Shuswap Sharp Shooters U11 girl’s development soccer team kicked off their season over the weekend with convincing wins against two Vernon teams. In the first game of the day, Shuswap put the pressure on early in the first half with Jordan King scoring on a brilliant shot to the top corner in the first five minutes. Janae Bocking scored the second goal of the game by confidently slotting the ball in the net off a cross by King. Early in the second half, Brooklyn Davidson made a strong run to goal but was fouled in the box which resulted in a penalty kick. Davidson was able to capitalize on her chance and scored with a beautiful shot to the top left hand corner. Alana O’Dell finished off the scoring by dribbling through two defenders and finding

the back of the net with a great shot.

Julia Hart and Braidy Parkes were strong in goal and shared the shutout. The final score was 4-0. After a short break, the girls were back on the field again for their second game against another Vernon team.

Phoebe Barnes dominated the middle of the field and created some great plays throughout the game.

Shuswap’s defence led by Laura Hall and Lys Milne continued to shut down the Vernon attack. Braidy Parks opened up the scoring in the first half by capitalizing on a defensive error and taking a smart shot.

Jordan King was strong on the left wing and managed to score twice off beautiful runs up the wing.

Gabriella Torrie, Holly McCaskill and Sophia Ruckle each had great chances up front. The final score was 3-0. It was a great team effort!

from across the Shuswap. The season starts the first of November and winds up at the end of March with teams visiting each other throughout the season for friendship, fair play and genuine competition.

The Blazers, Heroes, Hotshots, Mammoths, Pioneers, Shooters and Silverheads always come out to play hard. The coaches will tell you it’s “never really about the winning; it’s about camaraderie.” Just don’t tell the players that!

Seeking local Big Bike teams

The Kamloops/Cariboo office of the Heart and Stroke Foundation is recruiting teams to participate in Salmon Arm’s annual Big Bike event, presented by Dairy Farmers of Canada, which is taking place at the Remax office on May 29th.

Local organizations are invited to help Take a Seat to Extend a Life by getting a team of 29 together to ride a 2km route in their community on Canada’s only 30-seat bike.

“This fun, team-building event is a great opportunity to increase employee morale and your organization’s visibility in the community and all for a good cause” says Lianna Jansen, Area Coordinator of the Kamloops/Cariboo office of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Every seven minutes a Canadian dies from heart disease or stroke, and here in BC, someone dies from heart disease or stroke every hour.

“Events like Big Bike allow the Foundation to continue funding world-class heart disease and stroke research, advocacy, and health promotion that is improving the lives of all Canadians,” says Lianna. “We’re helping give Canadians longer, fuller, healthier lives.”

Last year Salmon Arm’s Big Bike raised over

$6,500. These funds have helped support life-saving research here in BC, by researchers like Dr. Karin Humphries. Dr. Humphries is investigating gender-based differences in cardiovascular disease, to build understanding and ultimately help improve the outcomes that women with heart disease face.

Register today to put your organization in the spotlight and to help continue the tradition. Please call Lianna Jansen of the Kamloops Cariboo office at 250-372-3938 and visit bigbike.ca.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation (heartandstroke.ca), a volunteer-based health charity, leads in eliminating heart disease and stroke, reducing their impact through the advancement of research and its application, the promotion of healthy living and advocacy.

Healthy lives free of heart disease and stroke.

Together we will make it happen.

Close race for half marathon

In the end, just 12 seconds separated the winner and second place finisher in the 12th annual Okanagan College Half Marathon held on Sunday, April 6 in Kelowna.

Cache Creek’s Ryan Day won the 21.1 km event in a time of 1:11:16 edging out the 2013 winner, Hans Aabye, who finished second.

Kelowna’s Jeff Vogt came third in the men’s half marathon division with a finishing time of 1:18:35.

On the women’s side, Salmon Arm’s Sandra Kilmartin (pictured above) came in first with a time of 1:28:56. Michelle Blackburne of West Kelowna came in second at 1:29:45 and Fruitvale’s Heather Johnson placed third at 1:31:26.

In the 10 K race, the top female finishers were: Carrie McGillivray of Kelowna (43:50), Chantal Jeffrey of Blind Bay (43:50) and Vera Geschiere of Kelowna (45:42.)

The men’s 10 K race was swept

by Kelowna runners, they were: Jonathan Menzies in first (37:52, Paul Willinsky (38:18), and Ken

Byl (40:18.)

The Half Marathon Relay Race was won by the Results 4 Life 2 team (1:24:07.) In second in the relay was Re-Lazy (1:40:11.) Third place went to UBCO War Child with a time of 1:40:47.

“Today’s race couldn’t have been better,” said Race Director Christine Ulmer. “We had a great mix of elite and amateur runners, each of whom added a huge amount of energy and enthusiasm to the event. I continue to be amazed by the wide range of participants in this event. Some of our most competitive racers are under the age of 15 and then we also have some really great seasoned runners who come out to enjoy the nice course and supportive environment.”

“I can’t thank our volunteers enough – they make this race really special and we couldn’t do it without them.”

October 24, 1939 - April 13, 2014

It is with great sadness that the family shares the passing of Darlyne MacInnis after a courageous battle with cancer.

She spent her last days in the wonderful care of the Kamloops Hospice (Marjorie Willoughby Snowden) with her family by her side.

Darlyne was born and raised in Vancouver. It was there that she met the love of her life, Raymond MacInnis. The couple married in 1961 and shortly after, moved to Kamloops where they started their family. Darlene was a legal secretary for 19 years, worked for the TNRD for 8 years while Ray worked for CP Rail. After 31 years in Kamloops, they retired to Christina Lake where they enjoyed the lake and golf course for 12 years. In 2006, they moved to Blind Bay where Darlyne enjoyed golf, close friends and neighbours.

Darlyne is survived by her husband of 52 years, Raymond; two sons, Ken (Leona) and Keith (Kim); and grandson Evan.

No service will be held at this time.

The family would like to thank the Kamloops Hospice, the nurses, the caregivers and the doctors for their part in her quality of life.

Huffman, Violet Kathleen 1921-2013 Vi, as she preferred to be called, was born in Toronto, Ontario and spent the first 20 years of her life there. She travelled frequently with her parents, several times to England to visit relatives and various destinations in the US. The family spent summers on the coast of Maine and travelled to the Grand Canyon.

Vi married John Huffman in September 1941. He soon joined the Air Force and they started their travelling life. Two daughters, Sandra and Joan, were born in Toronto. World War 2 was over before John finished his pilot training with the RCAF, but he decided to make it his career.

As a young family they lived in Singapore and England. After a few years Vi was homesick for Canada and her family, so the family travelled by ocean liner back to Canada. They settled in Toronto and later Manitoba where they saw the arrival of their first son. After many more moves throughout Canada, their youngest child Robert was born in Vancouver.

With John’s retirement from the Air Force in 1965, he and Vi and the two boys settled by Shuswap Lake in Sorrento. Vi became very active in St. Mary’s Church for many years. She played the organ for services and weddings, supplied flowers for the altar and always supported rummage sales and other fundraisers.

Vi loved the Girl Guide movement, especially Brownies, and was a leader then district commissioner for many years.

After the boys were raised, John and Vi spent winters in Arizona, exploring miles of roads in their motorhome. They enjoyed escaping the snow and cold! Vi’s involvement with the church diminished at this time but she still brought back quarts of inexpensive vanilla from Mexico to sell at the spring fair.

In 2001, the family was saddened by the loss of Joan from cancer.

John died in Tucson, Arizona in 2005. Following his passing, Vi lived for a time in Salmon Arm. As her needs increased and she needed long term care, she came to Prince George where her daughter Sandra lives. Vi always enjoyed being around people and was much loved by her caregivers.

Vi was a loving wife for 64 years and a loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She enjoyed people, socializing, games and made many friends in her travels. She will be sadly missed by daughter Sandra Hepburn, son Bob Huffman, 7 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.

A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held at St. Mary’s Church, Sorrento on April 19 at 1:30 pm. Light refreshments to be served following the service.

Dennis Robert Hare June 23, 1948 - April 12, 2014

It is with inconsolable grief that we announce the sudden and unexpected death of Dennis Robert Hare at his home in Salmon Arm, BC at the age of 65 years.

He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Linda and their three children: Dereck, Barbara (Mat) and Trevor, as well as a great many other family members who will miss him dearly every single day.

There will be a celebration of life at the Gleneden Hall on Saturday, April 19, 2014 at 2:00 pm. All are welcome. Very casual, by family request.

In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to an animal shelter such as Katie’s Place in Maple Ridge, BC www.katiesplaceshelter.com Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd. Email condolences and share memories through Dennis’ obituary at www.fischerfuneralservices.com

James Ivan McKenzie July 11, 1931 – April 11, 2014 With sadness, we announce the passing of James Ivan McKenzie on April 11, 2014 at Parkview Place in Enderby.

Predeceased by son Bruce (1972) and parents Bruce and Edna McKenzie.

Jim will be deeply missed and always loved by wife Faye of 61 years; daughter Susan (Arleigh MacNeill) of Chilliwack; son Ken McKenzie of Enderby; sisters, Helen (Syd Jameson) and Sandra (Don Cummings); granddaughters, Marnie (Ryan Hendricks), Jessica McKenzie, and Penny (John Armstrong); grandson Arleigh Jr. (Patricia MacNeill); great grandchildren, Nadia, Fergus, Kylee, Blake, Ethan, and Evan; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Jim was born in Regina, SK and moved to British Columbia at 9 years old. At an early age, he worked for the CPR Railroad, followed by starting his own business – Salmon Arm Painting Service. In 1963, Jim moved his family to Abbotsford, working for School District 34 as a journeyman painter for 12 years. At that time, Jim also joined the RCMP Auxiliary Police. Moving back to Salmon Arm in 1974, Jim started up Salmon Arm Painting Service for the second time. He retired because of a shoulder injury and moved to Enderby in 1990.

We wish to thank all of the care aides, nurses, and Dr. America for all the special care and attention they gave Jim. We would also like to thank Victor and the kind nurses and aides for their care and compassion.

At Jim’s request, there will be no service. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca Cremation arrangements entrusted to ALTERNATIVES FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES® Armstrong 250-546-7237 & Vernon 250-558-0866

What’s Where When Your Guide to Entertainment, Nightlife & Restaurants in the Shuswap

Aquarius, some may call you stubborn, but "dedicated" might be a more appropriate term.

Once your mind is set, it is hard to pull you off course, and this week is no different.

PISCES

You have plenty of energy to carry you through to the weekend, Pisces. A big surprise is in store in the coming days

A comedy directed

by Evelyn Birch

ARIES

Aries, you may need to come up with some new ways to show your affection, as your old ways are starting to fall short. Look to Leo for inspiration.

TAURUS

Taurus, a few kinks still need to be worked out, but your master plan will soon be in place. Start putting the wheels in motion and your work won’t go unrecognized.

GEMINI

Gemini, you are great at creating a good time out of nothing at all. Get together with a few friends and let the good times roll. Others may envy this talent.

CANCER

You have a rare opportunity to show off your skills this week, Cancer. When your talents are on display, don’t worry about hogging that spotlight. Enjoy your time in the limelight.

LEO

Take some time for quiet inspiration, Leo. It is just what you need after a busy week in which your stamina was put to the test. Rest and recharge for a few days.

(this show is rated PG with some swearing and suggestive language as well as adult themes.)
