Staying strong in the face of bullying

On Wednesday of last week, people all across the nation dressed in their pink shirts in order to make a statement against bullying in our schools and playgrounds. The next day, satisfied they had done their part, they continued life as normal.

Are we doing enough? Is there something more we can do?

Stories of how she was called names, and of being elbowed, pushed around, and picked on for years. As I questioned Sara, I could see that she was uncomfortable – not with the telling of the story, but with the memories it brought back.

Her expression would get melancholy as she stared at the table,

Sara Brisebois holds up her Canada’s Caring Kids Award given to her

by Bullying.org. Photo by Howard Vangool.

Eleven-year-old Sara Brisebois believes there is. Sara was bullied all through elementary school.

When her mom, Carrie, asked me if Sara could tell me her story, I agreed, hoping that somehow I would be able to help her, although I wasn’t quite sure how. We decided to meet at a local coffee shop and when Sara and her mom arrived, I was surprised when I first saw her.

Thinking back, I am not sure what I expected this girl to be like.

I suppose I had envisioned a girl who was maybe overweight and awkward, or maybe not very good-looking – anything to give her peers reason for picking on her.

Instead, the girl that was introduced to me by her mom was a very delightful young lady, with braids and blue eyes and just the right number of freckles scattered across her nose to be truly pretty.

Carrie started to talk, and the story that unfolded was shocking.

She told me how she didn’t really believe in Pink Shirt Day. “Typically, it’s a day that the very kids who bully are the ones who wear the pink shirts,” she says. She had been told by one of Sara’s teachers that even though they teach anti-bullying in school, and that in the classroom all the students could give examples of bullying and agreed it was wrong, the moment they hit the playground – all was forgotten.

I glanced over at Sara, who nodded in agreement. Sara and her mom then told me of years of being bullied in more than one school.

sometimes pausing a little longer than normal before relating a particularly painful memory. It made me sad to watch a child who couldn’t look back upon her school years without remembering the hurting she had suffered from her peers.

Even though it wasn’t easy, Sara held her head up and continued to answer my questions, such as what kind of names she had been called and what she thought had caused them to pick on her. Sara’s bravery was evident as Carrie continued to relate how even though Sara was a victim of bullying herself, she had stood up for another child who was being bullied. Unfortunately the other girl moved away soon after, leaving Sara as a target once again.

Carrie said her two older sons and younger stepson never had an issue, but as a parent, the feeling of helplessness watching her daughter’s struggles was heart- rending.

During these years Carrie had talked to the schools’ staff several times to try to find a way to get it to stop. When the students were talked to, in some cases they didn’t even realize that they were bullying.

Young girls are especially hard on each other, and until their behaviour was pointed out to them they didn’t even realize it wasn’t proper.

It was two more years before she finally got to middle school and the bullying stopped. Due to her stance against bullying, and the fact she had stood up for others despite her own problems, she was nominated for, and awarded The Canadian Caring Kids Award, with her entire

throughmylens

by Howard Vangool class being given a pizza lunch by Panago. She had to stand in front of her class and tell them why she had won the award; likely a difficult task, even though her new class has been good to her.

I asked Sara and Carrie what they believed could be done to help. One point that came up was that parents could explain to their own children that some kids are more sensitive than others. In one instance, when a child who had been bullying had pointed out to her that what she was saying and doing was really hard on Sara, the child apologized and they started to get along.

Unfortunately that child moved away shortly after also.

Some people that read this might be thinking that maybe Sara is just oversensitive, that she should just suck it up, move on, and get over it.

Some children are bad at math, some have difficulty reading. Just because one child has fewer social skills than another – does that mean they should suffer? Parents of children who are popular or don’t have many problems can help out a lot – they can explain to their own children that even though they may not realize that they are bullying, if the kid they make fun of in a teasing sort of way has already been teased several times that day it may hurt far worse than they realize.

It breaks my heart to think that somewhere in our schools and in our own community that a young child wakes up every morning and dreads going to school for fear he/she will be picked on, pushed around, hit, or called names, and that she/he has no choice but to go. As an adult, he/ she could change jobs, choose to move, file a lawsuit, do any number of things; but a child has none of these options. Bullying is not always straight out and blatant–sometimes it is a lot more subtle than we realize, and either way, it should be stopped.

The best of the beards

During the month of February, residents and staff at Piccadilly Terrace Retirement Residence participated in a beard-growing contest. Last Saturday evening, at the monthly Saturday Night Live entertainment organized by the residents, the ladies had the tough job of choosing Best Beard, Runner Up, and Best Attempt. A

great deal of hilarity ensued.

‘Best Beard’ went to manager Jeremy Menzies (centre) – the rumour that Mr. Menzies surreptitiously handed out candy as bribes has not been confirmed; Runner Up was resident Gavin Paterson (left); and Best Attempt went to employee, Blake Deacon (right).

Diverticular disease

Diverticular disease became more prominent in North America in the early 1900s at the same time as processed foods were introduced into the diet. Many of these foods lack sufficient fibre. Diverticular disease is generally attributed to a low-fibre diet, which causes constipation.

Constipation causes increased pressure on the muscles to make the hard stool move. So this excess pressure can cause weak spots in the colon to bulge out and become what is called diverticula, in the same way that an inner tube bulges under pressure.

The condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis.

This condition becomes more common as people age. About half of all people over the age of 60 have diverticulosis. Sometimes small food particles or bacteria get stuck in the small pouches (diverticula) and become infected or inflamed. This condition is called diverticulitis and is usually associated with left side abdomen pain. People who have been diagnosed with this condition should avoid eating foods that are heavy to digest, nor eat small seeds or food with small seeds such as

strawberries, figs, tomatoes, baked goods that have cracked wheat, poppy, sesame, flax or caraway seeds.

A high-fibre diet and, occasionally, mild pain medications will help relieve symptoms in most cases.

Sometimes an attack of diverticulitis can be treated with antibiotics, or if it is serious enough will require a hospital stay or surgery.

The daily recommended amount of fibre is 25 to 30 grams. Among fruits, pears, prunes, dates and apples are high in fibre. Beans, lentils, wheat bread and bran cereals are also high in fibre. Drinking 6-8 glasses of water every day helps in the formation of soft stools, and also helps in flushing toxins from the intestinal tract. The use of certain over-thecounter medications like Metamucil, digestive enzyme tablets or flaxseed oil supplements are helpful in avoiding constipation. However, your physician should be consulted if you wish to take these medications, particularly on a long-term basis.

By Terry Jobe, President, Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. & Yukon Division – Salmon Arm Unit The arrival of spring often brings a renewed sense of warmth and optimism to our days.

So why not add even more brightness to your home, workplace and the lives of those living with cancer?

The Canadian Cancer Society is here to help you do just that. We are inviting all Salmon Arm, Sorrento and Blind Bay residents to participate in our popular springtime tradition by purchasing fresh-cut bunches of daffodils on F r i d a y March 28th and Saturday March 29th at the Mall at Piccadilly, Askew’s Uptown, Askew’s Downtown, and Walmart in Salmon Arm; Shopper’s Plaza in Sorrento on March 28th and Village Grocer in Blind Bay on March 29th. Local businesses can also pre-order daffodils by phoning the Salmon Arm Unit before March 20th. This vibrant flower has long been a bright symbol in the fight against all cancers, of which there are more

than 200 types. These blooms will not only bring cheer to your day, but also to cancer patients, their families and caregivers in Salmon Arm, Sorrento and Blind Bay. Money raised helps the Canadian Cancer Society fund life-saving cancer research, offer vital and compassionate support to help people navigate their cancer journeys, and do everything we can to prevent cancer in the first place.

ENDERBY RCMP NAB 42 ON VALENTINE’S DAY With a note of pride, writes Grant Russell in Enderby’s RiverTalk, the local constabulary announced in a press release to media that on Valentine’s Day, four officers at four different locations over a four-hour period nabbed 20 drivers who were using cell phones and 22 for not having their seat belts fastened.

LARGEST ATTENDANCE IN 20-YEAR HISTORY OF ENDERBY’S SEED SWAP & NATURAL LIVING FAIR Over 60 vendors and a food court filled A. L. Fortune School’s entrance, gym and hallways. Cars lined the street for blocks in both directions.

This year’s fair honoured June Griswold, pioneer and seed saver who died suddenly on Dec. 10, 2013 at the age of 87. The Seed Fair was her year-long project. She loved a green plant called Orach that has delicious and nutritious leaves, and educated people on it at the fall fair and Enderby’s seed fair. In her memory, a packet of Orach seeds was stapled inside every memorial-like card with her picture and story about her passion for organic gardening.

A HEALTHY LIVING FAIR IN SALMON ARM? I was asked if a seed swap and natural living fair like Enderby’s could be held in Salmon Arm, preferably at a time when a healthy living event is held. If you have a suggestion, phone Barb at 1-800-356-8735 extension 5.

CHEMTRAILS CAUSE SNOW STORMS, TORNADOS At Enderby’s seed swap I was encouraged to keep writing about chemtrails. Dr. Russell Blaylock, a neuro surgeon specialist on the effects of the chemical ingredients onto human health as well as environmental impact, has 14 to 38 minute videos on YouTube. He explains the difference between contrails and chemtrails. This is an excellent one: http://youtube/e9ZW6CMZKmI He blames the changing weather patterns around the world on chemtrails. Good examples are the current flooding in London, England, the snowstorms in the eastern United States and Atlantic Canada, and global warming. He also says the fine particles of aluminum in chemtrails are inhaled, and land on plants we consume, and go directly to the brain, causing Alzheimers.

My thanks to Frank H. Lucianovich for introducing us to Dr. Blaylock.

TO SIMONSON’S JEWELLERS ON HUDSON When I started this paper in 1975, I visited businesses and tried to convince them to advertise in this new paper that was called Shoppers’ Guide at the time, and was delivered free to every mailbox rather than to mailboxes of subscribers. One businessman was Mr. Simonson of Simonson’s Jewellers.

ALL CLOCKS WOULD HAVE TO GO METRIC I’ll never forget how angry he was one April 1st when the radio station made announcements all morning that all clocks would have to go metric. He had so many customers phone him, angry because they would have to buy new clocks and watches. One man had bought a new clock the day before. Then on the noon news, the radio station announced that it was an April Fool’s joke. Mr. Simonson stayed angry all day!

YOU NEVER FORGET THAT FIRST LOVE After Mr. Simonson’s wife died, he rekindled a friendship with an old girlfriend in Saskatchewan, and bought a home in Dinsmore. He lived in his home and she in hers, and they were happy companions for 32 years. He died in 2013 at the age of 94. His obituary in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix says Eeli Simonson’s three children were by his side: Antero, Aaro and Eila. He was survived by his children, grandchildren, and his companion Wylma Hanson. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831

Lower building would be a better fit for neighbourhood

Imagine our neighbourhood: it consists of 2nd Ave. SE, with one and two storey homes; 8th St. SE; with one and two-storey homes; 4th Ave. SE, with one and two storey homes; and 10th St. SE, with one and two storey homes.

Now imagine a four storey apartment block being built right in the middle of these homes. That’s right – a four storey monster completely surrounded by one- and two storey homes.

That is the scenario our neighborhood faces since we learned that Mark Olson of Marson Investments Inc. plans to build a four-storey, twenty-six unit apartment building

The proposed site is on the former High Street Rest Home property, a two storey building which was converted from a large residential home to a care home many years ago. Although several additions to its structure rendered it less attractive, it still blended into our neighborhood fairly well. That will not be the case if this four-storey building is approved.

It’s not that we are anti-development. We realize that Mr. Olson needs a decent return on his investment. But our needs are important too. Hopefully our mayor and council will recognize that fact.

A two or three storey building with proper setbacks and an aesthetically pleasing design would be a good compromise.

Junior Bean Counter’s RCMP

Lately there has been a lot of talk about the Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) around our supper table.

We’ve been explaining to the kids the realities of post-secondary education costs. We’ve also explained that there are a few ways that their education can be paid for: scholarships (hopefully lots!), money they earn from jobs (hopefully lots!) and money my wife and I put away into an RESP (not going to be enough to support four boys on its own should they choose to further their schooling).

Through all this we’ve been explaining how the RESP works. They seemed the most interested in the Canada Education Savings Grant after I explained how the government will add $20 for every $100 that is contributed to their plan. I guess the idea of “free” money intrigues them.

At this point I could see the gears turning at high speeds in the Junior Bean Counter’s head.

“So… will the government give me $2,000 if you put in $10,000? Will they give me $20,000 if you put in $100,000?” he asked.

“Well, though I appreciate how quickly you did the math in your head, let’s talk in terms of hundreds of dollars being contributed, not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Secondly, there are limits to how much the government will contribute for each individual child,” I explained.

The next day, the Junior Bean Counter stopped by my office to visit and grab a candy from the candy bowl.

“So are you going to put some money into my RCMP?” he asked.

“Um, hopefully I am not contributing to your ‘RCMP.’ Is that some sort of

Letters to the Editor Mother Goose program ends

After a great 15+ years teaching songs, stories, and rhymes to Salmon Arm families, the Mother Goose program facilitators are very sad to say goodbye. Our last sessions run Fridays 9:30-10:30 a.m. in the Downtown Activity Centre, ending March 14, 2014 and we invite everyone who has come over the years, as participants or facilitators, to join us as we sing our last songs together and celebrate the program that has brought us a lot of joy, friendships, and songs that our children demand over and over and over….

Mother Goose is a free oral early literacy program with a focus on giving caregivers of the very young (0-3 years) the confidence and repertoire (without resorting to digital or even written support) to sing a silly song to distract their screaming kid at the super market, lull them to sleep in the middle of the night with more than one song option (thus avoiding parental insanity), or do the hokey pokey just for the fun of dancing with their child (after all, “that’s what it’s all about!”)

It is also about building community relationships. It strives to be inclusive and has welcomed people new to the area, new to the country, new to the language, and especially new to parenting. Singing together, chatting before and after the session and during the free snack, and shar-

ing ideas and concerns as we pose a group question, has allowed caregivers from a broad spectrum to make solid friendships, support one another, and share in the joys, frustrations, and awe of raising little people. It bonds us.

Due to funding limitations the Salmon Arm Early Childhood Development Committee made the very difficult decision to fund alternate programming for the upcoming year. The provincial funding which has paid for this program continues to be spread ever more thinly through the Shuswap and hard choices have to be made about where to spend those precious dollars. We appreciate the time Mother Goose has been given and hope that this kind of programming can be supported in the future.

On behalf of past and present facilitators, we’d like to thank all the parents, grandparents, nannies, child care providers, and, of course, children, who have made Mother Goose such a beloved, successful, and inclusive program. Thank you for coming. Thank you for taking the time to put down your phone to talk, sing, and interact with your babies. Thank you for making Mother Goose a part of your life for as long as you did.

Thank you.

One was a court case which sickened some of us; the lies flowed in torrents out of one of the participants. Lord bless that patient judge!

The second was the 50th birthday celebration of the Churches of Salmon Arm’s thrift shop.

The love and fun that flowed in this celebration was a joy to experience.

“You know! My R-E-C-M-P or whatever it is called,” he laughed.

“Oh, your RESP?!” I sarcastically responded.

I assured him that his Mom and Dad were adding a little bit every month to his RESP, but told him to worry less about the RESP and instead focus on his schoolwork. Besides I am not sure I want to be contributing to his “(R)eally (C)razy (M)oney (P)lan” or his “(R) otten (E)ggs and (C)heese (M)acaroni (P)âté.” However, on second thought, I might be willing to contribute to his “Replace the Canucks Manager Plan!”

Letters to the Editor

Seniors deserve quality of care

Caring for an aging population has its challenges for government, professionals and family members. Recently, I have read a few articles about the challenges society is facing within a growing aging population. Erin Ellis wrote in the Vancouver Sun on January 4, 2014 that Japan is leading the world with 24 per cent of the population over 65 in 2012. Canada reached 14 per cent in 2011. The predictions are that 33 per cent of the population in Japan will be over 65 in 2030. The Japanese government is looking for how to make life better for seniors so they can still be an important part of the community.

Professor Hiroko Akiyama of Tokyo’s Institute of Gerontology explains the primary goal is getting seniors out of their homes by giving them work to keep both body and mind active. She believes staying at home after retirement makes people isolated and therefore more susceptible to illness.

According to Akiyama, “a large aspect of work is to make connections.” She promotes making the lives of the elderly better by engaging in social activities, lifting the loneliness and keeping body and mind active. People are happier and they will feel part of a community; furthermore, they earn extra money which in return they will contribute to the government tax revenue.

Anne-Mei The, a Dutch cultural anthropologist and researcher has done

studies in long-term care facilities. She writes: “It is difficult for caregivers to understand what dementia really is.

People who are diagnosed with dementia fall into a black hole.” Her goal is to give vulnerable seniors quality of life.

She is involved with establishing two small care homes using a new concept where seniors still have a sense of control and where they can connect with their past. She says: “Why would you be with thirty people in a living room every day? That did not happen in their younger years.”

This vision asks for a different practice of care for nurses and caregivers.

They have to understand the aging process, they have to be flexible, friendly, hospitable, and they have to be able to create a pleasant environment as well as to take the time to have a conversation with the seniors. It is unnatural to give medication for constipation, depression, or agitation when in many cases the problem can be solved by simply giving attention, a friendly conversation, or going out for a walk.

There are many benefits in utilizing smaller care homes. There is a lesser chance of infectious diseases like cold, flu, and gastroenteritis. Medication administration will decrease and appetite will improve. The seniors will feel a sense of belonging and worthiness by receiving better quality of care.

Caregivers will find more enjoyment in their work which lead to lower rates of burn-outs and stress-leaves, which in turn, reduces the extensive cost of sick time.

The question is: “How can we improve the quality of life of our seniors within a budget?” Japan is keeping the seniors longer in the work force, and is building communities special directed towards seniors. The Netherlands have built a “village” for people diagnosed with dementia with all the amenities and services directed to vulnerable seniors. Canada is in a privileged position to look at other countries how they deal with an aging population, and to take the approach what works best for Canadians.

Researchers, healthcare professionals, politicians, and family members need to have a conversation on how they can improve the lives of the elderly and caregivers.

Regular mammograms do save lives

I am very disappointed in the article/view published in the Lakeshore News on Feb 28/14 regarding mammograms (in Sidewalk Superintendent).

I cannot believe that you as a “professional” would encourage women to NOT have a regular mammogram, especially over the age of 40 years. To put all your faith in a “dreamhealer” is nearsighted....plus I could find no information on that web site on mammograms. I believe that the role of a nurse is to be unbiased and provide adequate and accurate information to the public, so that they can make their own informed decisions.

Some of the information you give is not true!

I cannot find any info stating that a tumour has ever been ruptured during this procedure. You should know that this is highly unlikely!

Whereas, there is plenty of good information as to the benefits of having regular mammograms as well as self-examination and your family physician. Early detection and prevention is the key.

As a registered nurse and volunteer at the mobile mammogram clinics, I would encourage women to take advantage of this free and lifesaving opportunity! Have a regular mammogram!

Sure, there is a little discomfort for a few seconds – but that far outweighs the benefits of early detection.

A mammogram can visualize a tumour as small as 9-18mm–about the size of a split pea, or less than 1 centimetre; it would have to grow to 25-35mm, or about the size of the end of your little finger, to be found in a self examination.

I urge you to go to the website of the BC Cancer Agency for more “true” information – http://www.screeningbc.ca/Breast/default.htm –

and NOT listen to a newspaper writer, who is no longer in the profession!

Look for the mobile clinic coming to your area. Take care of your

By Lorraine Powell The Directors at MacKenzie camp are very excited to have once again received a funding grant of $22,000 for the outdoor program for schools and for the summer program from the BC Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch.

This will allow us to offer a variety of programs featuring ecology and care of the earth, including canoeing, kayaking, and environmental hikes; physical fitness programs such as the climbing wall, archery, low ropes, campfire story telling and much more. The camp would have a very difficult time offering these programs without this support. It is not too early to get in touch with us about the outdoor education school programs or to register for the summer program. www.mackenziecamp.ca At our recent AGM meeting two board members were honoured for their many years of service. Tom Cole, who has served as Director of the camp, Chair of Fundraising and our golf tournament, and

member of our board for almost 30 years is still willing to help with fund raising, but has stepped off the board. Shirley Browne has graced us as a board member for more than eight years, has served as Chair and vice chair of the board, served on the personnel committee and still writes all our receipts. She is also stepping off the board but continues to work behind the scenes. Thank you both of you for your many years of service!

We are very excited to introduce our new chair of the board, Jazmyn McMyn, who was a camper at MacKenzie, her children have been involved in the camp, and now is bringing her passion to this important program. Watch for more news about work parties at the camp and “Open House” in the spring. There are still some vacancies on the board and on committees. If you would like to get involved please call 250-838-6293, or send us an email at maccamp@ shaw.ca.

Lecture series promotes peace in the Shuswap

As the 100th anniversary of the start of WWI approaches, (July 28, 1914), military historian and Okanagan College professor, James Wood will chronicle the experiences of First Nations soldiers who volunteered to fight Canada’s war in Europe even though they were denied the equal rights of citizenship back home.

“Ultimately this is a story of the Great War and of great expectations,” says Dr. James Wood.

“These soldiers went overseas hoping to achieve something and ended up tragically disappointed,” he says.

Captured through the voice of commanding officer Colonel Andrew T. Thompson, a committed advocate of the First Nations soldiers who served

under his command in the 114th Battalion Canadian Expeditionary Force, the lecture will follow the unit’s wartime service and postwar experiences.

Dr. Wood will lead attendees through the harrowing tale on Mar. 12 at 7 p.m. in the Salmar Classic Theatre in Salmon Arm. Admission to the event is a non-perishable food item or cash donation to the Salmon Arm Food Bank.

Specializing in Canadian history and 19th-20th century international diplomacy, Dr. Wood’s books include We Move Only Forward: Canada, the United States, and the First Special Service Force (2006) and Militia Myths: Ideas of the Canadian Citizen Soldier, 1896-1921, published in 2010.

His next book, a biography of Lt.-Col. Thompson, will explore issues of citizenship and defence reform in Canada from 1895 to 1939.

“This lecture is the first in an ongoing series of events promoting Aboriginal history and environmental stewardship with the intent of fostering greater peace and understanding in our community,” says Jim Barmby, Regional Dean of Shuswap-Revelstoke.

“This exciting new series wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of Dan MacQuarrie, a retired United Church Minister, humanitarian and longtime resident of the area,” he says.

For more information on this event, visit www.okanagan. bc.ca/saevents.

Commenting period for water quality program still open There is still time to submit comments on the proposed Shuswap Watershed Water Quality Program. The Shuswap Watershed Council – a new organization focussed on monitoring and managing water quality in the Shuswap watershed – is seeking public input as it develops a water quality program that will begin in 2015.

“The Shuswap Watershed Council developed a terms of reference – essentially, an outline of the program with goals and strategies. We want to hear public feedback on the outline before we develop the details of the program,” says Erin Vieira, program manager.

The terms of reference that outline the proposed water quality program can be read online at www.shuswapwater.com. The Shuswap Watershed Council encourages everyone to read the document and complete a brief survey that can be found at the same website. Survey respondents may enter a draw to win a $150 gift certificate to a Shuswapbased business of their choice. “The commenting period, via the online survey, will be open until March 31. At that time, we’ll summarize the feedback and recommendations, and present it to the Shuswap Watershed Council for their consideration,” Vieira says.

About elk and culling deer

Parking the truck on the shoulder of the highway east of Sicamous early Tuesday morning, in the breaking light of dawn, and glancing across a snow-covered field, I suddenly spotted the three elk feeding on an abandoned, partially-frozen round hay bale. It was a delight to see them there. It had been a progression of sorts for this herd, no doubt sired by the big 5-point bull found in a hay barn just past Cambie Hall, by a farmer about to feed his cattle.

The magnificent animal had been hit by a CP freight train, around midnight a few seasons earlier, with one of his front hooves severed.

The Griffin wolf pack, likely chased him earlier in the evening, as they had chased two cows and a calf across the highway the day before, into a yard near the Skyline truck stop. If there is enough forage and cover, this little group will hopefully multiply, like the Deep Creek herd, who had their beginning in the marsh and heavy cover along Fortune creek south of Enderby, a few years ago. A call came into the fisheries office from Ron, a Spall band councillor, that five elk had been seen there– a large bull, spike bull, two cows, and a calf. Originally from the Naramata herd, east of Penticton, they had migrated from the Wild Horse Canyon, across and behind Okanagan Lake, travelling north to Big White, then to Creighton Valley, east of Lumby, where they were seen in hay fields.

Then began the long, arduous migration through Trinity

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley

Valley to the Enderby area. The large bull was shot in a gravel pit south of Enderby that August, and a notice went to all band members to leave the animals alone. This herd has done well, and can be seen in the spring, grazing in local hay fields along Deep Creek Road.

As well, when logging or

hunting in the fall, at the old Beaton town site near the mouth of the Incomappleux River flowing into Upper Arrow Lake, we spotted our first bull elk. A herd had migrated over from the Duncan drainage building to a large herd, settling up the Akolkolex/ Wigwam flats. Wolves have been a mitigating factor on reducing the herd, with a small band remaining near Shelter Bay. The culling of urban deer: This is a really contentious issue, affecting Cranbrook, Kimberley, Invermere, Grand Forks, Penticton, and Victoria.

What is the final solution?

Despite a court challenge, Cranbrook/Kimberley went ahead with a cull in 2012. For 2014, Kimberley wanted to cull 30 mule deer, but the four clover traps were vandalized. We are now into 2nd generation deer, in these and other cities, because of urban sprawl into deer elk/habitat, as well as large logging clearcuts with little protection from predators.

Cougars and wolves then follow. Cities and towns are a haven for these ungulates, providing shrubs, gardens, parks, and bird feeders. A doe in the wild, will have one fawn or twins every second season, while human-supplied foods like sunflower seeds, increases body fat, increasing fertility and allowing a doe to have a greater number of fawns; hence the population issue. Studies show that mule deer will take over rural areas, while whitetail deer are smart, being aware if a dog is on a leash, where to cross streets, and daily routines of where good food sources can be found. Culling deer usually involves trapping the animals in baited enclosures, then killing them with a pneumatic bolt gun.

This cost Cranbrook/ Kimberley close to $500 per animal. As well, live trapping of deer results in what scientists call “capture myopathy,” and result in many deer dying from the stress. There now is talk of trapping and transporting numbers of deer in the Penticton area to a native reserve nearby. For more information on this subject, go online and google deercull Cranbrook BC. Across Canada, in Thunder Bay, Ontario, they had their first bow season on urban deer, with citizens lining up for archery classes, and sports stores selling more archery equipment than the year before.

Kenora, Ontario, which also has a strong tradition of hunting, will do the same, with little opposition from the community, many of whom are tired of raided gardens, and deer-vehicle collisions. It’s a tough call for many of us who love to see our wildlife survive, but at what cost?

Letters to the Editor

Seniors’ issues on the back burner

Sunday, March 9th at 5:30 pm

I am in total agreement with the letter from B. Campbell of Sorrento (Waiting for health care in BC) which voices concerns about the ability of our health care system in BC to meet the demands of an aging population. I am sure that this issue crosses provincial lines as well. I am personally extremely thankful for the health care system we have, which, despite its shortcomings, remains far superior to those which exist (or not) in other jurisdictions. There certainly must be advanced planning for future medical needs and Campbell is correct in calling on our politicians to respond.

I have recently experienced circumstances which point to a similar unreadiness at the federal level to cope with the mushrooming numbers of persons reaching ‘senior’ status. I applied for certain benefits under the Old Age Security program in September of 2013. As I had not received even acknowledgment of receipt of my application, I recently decided to inquire about the status of my file. I first investigated on the internet, then by using the 1-800 phone line and finally by visiting a Service Canada office. I will not detail the frustration of this process other than to state that I was no further ahead at the end of my inquiries than I was at the outset. In a nutshell, I was advised that I must allow a period of 24 weeks (which I suppose to someone ‘sounds’ shorter than 6 months) before anyone could access my file to give me information. I would add that I was eligible to receive the benefit applied for in January of 2014 and while I was assured that if my application was approved, payments would be retroactive, this is of minimal consolation to a senior with very limited resources. There is apparently such a backlog of applications under the OAS legislation that a minimum of 6 months is needed for ‘processing agents’ to catch up. We are in the early, gentle

wave of people reaching eligibility. The tsunami is yet to arrive, and then what sort of backlog will there be in five years? I believe this is yet another example of government being unprepared to deal with the realities of our society.

I took my inquiry a further step by writing to my local MP, the Secretary of State for Seniors in our current government, the official critic of that Ministry in the current official opposition and to other federal representatives in opposition parties. While I have no useful information resulting from those inquiries yet (I live in hope that someone might yet provide me with a helpful response), a very nice staffer in the local MPs office did advise me that I can anticipate waiting another 3-4 weeks and then I should hear something. I wait. This breakdown in administration should be addressed by someone. Administration has become the tail wagging the dog!

In my opinion, this failure to process applications in a timely manner is unacceptable. After reading the letter from B. Campbell, it becomes abundantly clear to me that the issues concerning seniors are on a back burner for the federal as well as the provincial government. Seniors are not focused solely on issues relevant to their own care and well-being. We care about issues of broad impact too–the environment, international relations, family well-being, education.....I could go on. I take my privilege to vote extremely seriously and will make my choices at election time based on the existence or lack of policies geared to making provision for seniors in our society, among other things. I urge other ‘mature’ citizens to do the same. We have massive numbers and the existing government and others aspiring to be a part of that system should listen closely for the creaking and cracking of our aging joints going to the polls.

B. Alldred, Salmon Arm

Direct deposit deadline looming

(NC) The deadline to enrol in direct deposit for federal government payments such as income tax refunds, Old Age Security and Employment Insurance is April 2016. More than 80 percent of Canadians who receive payments have already enrolled with the remainder still receiving their cheques by mail.

The federal government is encouraging all recipients to enrol for direct deposit as soon as possi-

ble so they can start receiving their money faster and more conveniently. Unlike online or Internet banking that requires a computer; direct deposit simply means your payments are made directly into your bank account.

To sign up for direct deposit, simply visit www.directdeposit.gc.ca or your bank or financial institution. You can also order an enrolment form by calling 1-800-O-Canada.

Healthy eating can be simple

March is Nutrition Month – the perfect time to think about the benefits of eating healthy foods. Small changes can pay off big by reducing your risk, and your family’s risk, for obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

The Nutrition Month theme is Simply Cook and Enjoy! – and it is all about getting back to the basics by cooking delicious meals at home. Home-cooked meals are healthier, less expensive, and they can bring the whole family together. Interior Health’s registered dietitians offer some important reasons why home cooking is good for everyone.

Healthy cooking is easy. You don’t need to be a chef to prepare healthy meals when you have the right foods and recipes on hand.

“People who cook meals from scratch eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains,” said Jill Worboys, Registered Dietitian.

“Cooking from scratch doesn’t have to be complicated; basic cooking skills combined with a few tasty ideas are all you need to make healthy and delicious meals at home.”

Need some help to get started?

The Nutrition Month website (www.nutritionmonth.ca) has some simple and delicious recipes.

Home cooking is budget-friendly.

Eating at restaurants can be expensive. Cooking meals at home helps save money for other important things.

“Delicious and nutritious foods can be easy on the pocketbook.

There are many ways you can save money when cooking at home,” said Jill. “Planning meals ahead of time helps you make the most of the ingredients you buy and reduces waste.”

For more great tips on how healthy cooking can be budget friendly, visit the HealthLink BC website (http://www.healthlinkbc. ca/healthyeating/everyone/budget-eating.html).

Cooking can be a family affair.

Getting the entire family involved in cooking, especially children, teaches important life skills and healthy eating habits.

“Children who get their hands on food and help prepare meals are more willing to try new foods and are more likely to eat with their families,” added Jill. “Children benefit in many ways when families eat together. They perform better at school, develop a deeper sense of belonging and security, and are less likely to smoke and use drugs.”

The 2014 Nutrition Month Campaign is dedicated to serving up practical advice. For more nutrition information visit the Dietitians of Canada website (http://www. d i e t i t i a n s . c a / Yo u r - H e a l t h / Nutrition-A-Z/Nutrition-Month. aspx) or you can speak with a registered dietitian at HealthLink BC by calling 8-1-1.

SPORTS & LEISURE Atoms’ team effort pays off

This past weekend saw our L. Turner Contracting Salmon Arm Atom A Silverbacks travel to Penticton to compete for the league championship. The round robin format began with a formidable challenge: a match against the first place Kelowna Pee Wee girls. The game was a fast-paced, physical affair that saw both teams have some early chances, but on this day the girls would prove too much for our boys and came away with a 2-0 victory. This meant that the Silverbacks would need to “run the table” with wins over Kamloops, Kelowna B, and Winfield if they hoped to have a

rematch with the Pee Wee girls in the final.

Even though the boys had competed well against the girls, the late night match against Kamloops was what they needed to regain some confidence.

The boys moved the puck well and forechecked relentlessly. At the game’s end, it was Salmon Arm winning 8-1.

Saturday morning started off with a game against Kelowna B, and the boys built on their earlier performance and were full value for their 9-2 victory. There was little time to relish the win, as the boys had to focus on a game later that evening against

GO BACKS GO!

Personal & Team Training 832.3200 • www.proactivefitness.ca

the undefeated Winfield Bruins. A win for either team would likely mean a berth in the final on Sunday.

Right from the start, it appeared that this game would not be decided until the final whistle. Winfield held an early lead, but the Silverbacks battled back to tie it. After another Winfield goal, Salmon Arm responded with two of their own to take a 3-2 lead midway through the third period.

Winfield evened the game at 3 with five minutes to go, and the game seemed destined to be a draw.

However, with only a couple of minutes left on the clock, Brayden Hessler took the puck from center ice, danced through a couple of defenders and found the back of the net with a beautiful wrist shot. The last minute of the game was tense, but the tenacious play of the entire team and some timely saves by Gabriel Murrells-Allaway secured the victory and created a rematch with the Kelowna Pee Wee Girls’ team – this time with a championship banner at stake.

The first period was played at a frenetic pace, but the respective goaltenders kept the game

scoreless after one. In their previous games, it had been the girls’ physical play that had tipped the scales in their favour, but on this occasion the boys seemed to discover a new gear – and their speed and determination appeared to give them a slight edge. Partway through the second period, Leyton Boyd used his speed to make a rush up the middle before firing a spectacular “bar down” shot to put the boys ahead 1-0. Later in the period, on a power play, Zander Stewart ripped a shot from the point that deflected off of a Kelowna player and found the mesh – 2-0 ‘Backs. The girls continued to pepper shots at Rod May, but time and again he proved to be up to the task – turning aside difficult shots with ease.

In the third period off of a scramble in the goal mouth, Jack Doray was able to sweep home a rebound, giving the Silverbacks a 3-0 lead. Then, with less than ten minutes to go, another rebound in the crease led to a Connor Johnson goal to provide a 4-0 cushion. Kelowna kept pressing and eventually were able to put one in, but it wouldn’t be enough.

January 22, 1959 - February 24, 2014 Brian Walter Mackie passed away peacefully in Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm, BC on Monday, February 24, 2014 at the age of 55 years.

Born in Lillooet, BC on January 22, 1959, Brian lived most of his life in the Shuswap.

Due to poor health his work was limited, having formerly worked in forestry and as a meat cutter. He is well remembered for his love of life and nature. “He did it his way.”

Predeceased by his father Reino in 1988, mother Helen in 2001, brother Rick and sister Noranda.

Brian leaves his sisters and brothers Jeannette of Valemount, Selma (Del) of Kelowna, Floyd (Doris) of Enderby, Elvina (John) of Kamloops, Ken (Ging) of Salmon Arm, Lucille of Kamloops, Roy (Cyndi) of Edson, Delores of Salmon Arm; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and close friends.

A Celebration of Life service was held from the chapel of Bowers Funeral Home on Saturday, March 1, 2014 with Jack Bowers the funeral celebrant. Tributes were shared by family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Online condolences may be sent to Brian’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home & Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

Fran Apps (Hughes)

George Harvey Smith

It is with sadness that the family of Fran Apps announces her passing on February 23, 2014 in Salmon Arm at the age of 80 years. Fran was born on August 5, 1933 in Mission, BC. In 1952 she moved to Maple Ridge. On July 3, 1954, Fran married the love of her life, Gerry.

Together they had two children, Dale and Karen.

In 1972, the family moved to Salmon Arm and she continued with her nursing career and retired with over 48 years.

Fran will be sadly missed by her family; daughter Karen Young of Salmon Arm, grandchildren, Stacy and Tammy Young (Owen and Dom) of Salmon Arm, Linden and Taunia Young of Salmon Arm, Ashley Young and Coheed of Salmon Arm and Kim Starko and Xavier of Vancouver.

Online condolences can be sent through Fran’s’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Service, Salmon Arm, BC

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of George, age 78, in the Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm on Monday, February 24, 2014.

George met his soul mate Helen (Honey) Gifford in Saskatoon, SK, and for the past 35 years shared a beautiful life together in BC. The last 21 years they resided in Enderby, BC where he enjoyed their long walks through town and along the riverfront. He loved to read and took weekly walks to the library saying hello to all he met.

George had a talent and passion to build things, work on cars, and he loved to be on the lake fishing with his honey. He will be remembered for his wit, charm, friendly smile, sparkling blue eyes and his kindness to help others when needed.

Surviving is his loving wife, Helen (Honey), four children and five grandchildren.

A very special thank you to Dr. Theron of Salmon Arm and all who aided with his care.

In memory of George, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, Easter Seal House or the charity of choice. Upon his request there will be no service.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Email condolences may be sent through George’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Mary Goodison May 23, 1927 – February 23, 2014 Mary Goodison, long time resident of Sorrento, passed away in Shuswap Lake General Hospital, February 23, 2014, after a short illness. Mary was predeceased by her husband Harold, son Wayne, and grandson Nick Jones. She is survived by her daughters, Leona Goodison (David Bodin), Vicky Jones (Michael Atwood), son Bob Goodison (Susan Goodison), grandchildren Fern Gore (Bob Gore), Jim Grieve (Nicole Grieve), Meghan Grieve, Rose Goodison, Jake Goodison, Liam Atwood, great grandchildren Daegan, Ivy and Alice Gore, her sisters Margaret Lindberg, Sue Jones and Helen Moen, and many nieces and nephews.

Mary was born in Wymark, SK, May 23, 1927 to Helen and Abraham Thiessen, one of 14 children. She married Harold Goodison on May 25, 1953 while he was a soldier serving in the RCEME Corps. Until Harold’s retirement from the Army in 1962, they lived in Vancouver, Victoria, Chilliwack, and Vernon, before settling in Kelowna. In 1966, they moved to White Lake where they resided until shortly after Harold’s death in 1983.

Mary was an avid gardener; with a love of unusual and exotic plants and vegetables she shared with family, friends and neighbors. She also loved to bake and sew, and worked as an upholsterer for many years. Later on she began quilting and creating stuffed toys of her own design, which were frequent gifts to friends, family and local bazaars. Mary had a sharp sense of humour and was a voracious reader. She was hilarious, quirky, stubborn, independent, amazing, and will be greatly missed.

A graveside service will be held at the Mt. Ida Cemetery, 2160 Foothill Rd., Salmon Arm at 11:00 am, Saturday, March 15, 2014, with Jack Bowers the funeral celebrant.

A reception and celebration of Mary’s life will follow at Mary’s home, 1237 Dunkirk Road, Sorrento, from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Mary’s name to the charity of choice.

On line condolences may be sent to Mary’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm.

Lori Reed October 1, 1953 – March 1, 2014 Lori Carole Reed was born October 1, 1953 in Salmon Arm, BC, to Bob and Rose Nelson. She was a loving elder sister to Brad and Sherry.

In 1972, Lori married Daniel Reed and two years later began building a family that would be the focus of her life. Lori was an incredibly dedicated and loving mother to four children: Robert (Jennifer), Jonathan (Annie), Nelson (Michelle), and daughter Kelcey. Lori later delighted in her role as “Gramma” to Evan and Julia.

Lori passed away in the early hours of Saturday, March 1, 2014 in Shuswap Lake General Hospital after a brief but courageous battle with cancer.

A celebration of life service will be held at the Gathering Place (350 30 St. NE, Salmon Arm) on Saturday, March 8 at 1 p.m. A reception will follow, allowing time for family and friends to continue sharing memories.

In lieu of flowers, friends are encouraged to contribute to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation in Lori’s name.

The family wishes to have the funds used for the Oncology Department, where she received excellent and compassionate care.

Online condolences may be sent to Lori’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Lakeshore News travels to Frying pans, floors

Dear Reena, I have a cast-iron frying pan that I have always cleaned with oil and a scouring pad. Lately, I noticed that there is a lot of grey coming off the pan. What can I do about this? Thanks, Shirley Dear Shirley, This is a common result of cooking on high heat. You are best off scrubbing the pan with an abrasive cloth, dish soap and water. Rinse and dry. Put the pan in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 35 mins. Cool and coat with a thin layer of vegetable oil.

Dear Reena, We have had our second cork floor installed in the kitchen. It is made of the kind of cork that is pre-finished and no additional sealant is added once the floor is laid. We chose this kind as we are both very sensitive to strong smells. In less than a year, the first floor started lifting slightly where the cork boards meet. The company would not take responsibility and made the salesperson who sold it to us pay for it to be replaced as she had advised us to clean it with an electric steamer. They gave no instructions. The salesperson says she has never seen this happen before and has overseen the laying of many similar-style cork floors. It has now been replaced but we cannot get any clear instructions from the manufacturer as to the safest way to clean this type of cork flooring. Can you advise please?

Thanks in advance, Sandra Dear Sandra, Great investment! Cork floors are not only beautiful but also comfortable to stand on. In order to keep cork flooring looking its very best, vacuum or sweep the floor regularly. Mop the floor at least once a month making sure not to use excessive water – the floor should be damp, not wet. Avoid using harsh cleaners; one tsp. of dish soap and one tsp. white vinegar added to mop water is all you need.

Solutions&Substitutions

By Reena Nerbas Dear Reena, I am planning a fondue party with several people. What can I do to ensure that everyone holds onto their fork and that they don’t get mixed up?

I think I would puke if I found that I had eaten from someone else’s fork. Submitted by Jessica Dear Jessica, One trick is to rubber band two skewers together so that one stays on the outside of the pot while the other is submersed on the inside. Many fondue skewers are also color coated and if yours are not, simply wrap colored tape around each person’s fork to identify whose is whose. I don’t know what kind of pot you have, but if you are planning to buy a new fondue pot; they now come with magnets on the inside of the vessel so that forks stay in place in front of each guest. Oh and one more thing, the cooking fork should be used only for cooking; proper etiquette dictates that it should not make its way into anyone’s mouth and then back into the fondue pot.

Easy Strawberry Dessert Pizza In a bowl combine 1 cup white flour and half cup icing sugar. Stir in one half cup melted butter.

Press into 12 inch pizza pan. Bake at 350 for 15 mins. Cool. Beat together 1 8-ounce pkg. softened cream cheese, and half cup white sugar (my mouth is watering already). Spread over cooled cookie crust. Arrange 3 cups sliced strawberries on top of cream cheese layer. Glaze: In a pot stir together half cup sugar, 1 tbsp. cornstarch and half cup water. Stir and heat on medium until thick.

Cool slightly and spoon over pizza. Chill for two hours, cut into wedges and serve.

I enjoy your questions and tips, keep them coming. Missed a column? Can’t remember a solution? Need a motivational speaker for an upcoming event? Check out my website Reena. ca.
