Seeking a better life for Madison friends&neighbours

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Brent Cox was going from store to store last week handing out flyers. On the front is the picture of a happy little girl. On the top in large print it says simply: Madison CDG1A. Madison is his daughter and C D G 1 A (Congential Disorders of Glycosylation) is a rare disease.

He and his wife, Melissa, are trying to raise funds for testing and treatment.

CDG affects a process – glycosylation – that underpins the normal growth and function of all tissues and organs.

There are 19 identified types of this disease with only 500 documented cases worldwide. The disease is so rare, there are no specialists in Canada, and the Canadian medical system doesn’t pay for treatments in other countries.

“We want to see Dr. Eva Morava-Kozicz in New Orleans,” says Melissa. “She contacted me and said they can do this as research and we can have the testing

free. We can go as soon as we get the money to travel and stay there.

Hudson Freeze is from California but he works with Dr. Eva and they’re going to work together on com-

ing up with some possible therapies.”

So Brent and Melissa are having a bake sale and silent auction at the Mall at Piccadilly this afternoon (Friday, February 28th).

A high percentage of children with CDG don’t survive childhood, but Melissa is hopeful that with more information Madison

won’t only survive, but thrive.

“The best-case scenario is knowing what we can do to help her live a better life through mobility and communication.” She is hoping that they will find ways of helping Madison’s immune system and liver function, as well as

better overall progress.

Recalling those first days and months, Melissa says she had realized right away that Madison wasn’t like

MLAs battle over family budgets

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press VICTORIA – Opposition politicians called out Premier Christy Clark Thursday on her assurances that the province’s budget would not be balanced by asking more from taxpayers.

“Look, it’s the premier herself who yesterday said she would not be going out to taxpayers and asking them for more money,” NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth told the legislature.

He estimated fee increases of $900 a year for thousands of B.C. families, including a sixth consecutive increase in Medical Services Plan fees.

“They’re going to be paying more for MSP. They’re going to pay more for hydro. They’re going to pay more for ferry trips,” Farnworth said.

“They’re going to pay more for car insurance, and if they live south of the Fraser, they’re definitely going to be paying more in tolls [on the Port Mann bridge].”

Finance Minister Mike de Jong replied that the four per cent increase in MSP fees is the latest of a series signalled in the last three B.C. budgets. Premiums, many paid by employers, account for 12 per cent of a health care budget that has grown from $8 billion to $17 billion since 2001, de Jong said.

MSP premiums increase by up to $5.50 a month for families earning more than $30,000 a year, effective with the start of a new fiscal year April 1. On the same date, a nine per cent increase in BC Hydro rates takes effect, adding $8 a month to the average residential electricity bill.

De Jong cited assistance for families in the 2014-15 budget, including a $1,200 payment into a Registered Education Savings Plan for children born in 2007 or later. A tax credit of up to $55 a month for children under age six is to take effect in 2015.

The biggest priority for new program spending in this week’s budget is an extra $243 million over three years for Community Living B.C. for services to developmentally disabled adults. Another $15 million is allocated to the Ministry of Children and Family Development for special needs children.

An extra $15 million over three years is directed to RCMP policing costs and $6 million is allocated for legal aid services.

The budget also directs $29 million to support development of a liquefied natural gas industry in B.C., including attracting investment and providing permits and environmental protection.

their other children, Kayedance and Braydon.

“I noticed right off the bat that something was wrong but the paediatrician said everything was fine. There was something I noticed with her eyes – there was uncontrolled eye movement. She couldn’t hold her head up, period. She didn’t like any movement of any kind, and she would cry for hours on end.”

Melissa did her own research based on M a d i s o n ’s symptoms; and eventually her daughter was officially diagnosed with CDG1A. Madison, who is now four years old, has already come a long way. Now she can hold her head up, grab onto objects, and pull herself up to a stand.

“She has loose ligaments, so in order to stand she has to hold onto something or she will just fall. She can drink now – she gets it

all over herself but she can drink and sort of feed herself. She is getting better control. She can say certain words.”

Madison goes to daycare with her little brother Lyndon, 3.

“They’re very close and Lyndon looks after his sister. When he goes to get his snack, he’ll grab hers too.”

Madison is a very happy and loving little girl, says her mother.

“She loves animals. We have two dogs and one

by Leah Blain

will always come in and sit on her. Madison is an animal fanatic.”

Melissa and Brent are hoping that they can raise enough funds so they can go to the US as soon as possible.

“We want to do what we can to give her a better life,” says Melissa.

The bake sale and silent auction take place Friday, February 28 at

the Mall at Piccadilly beginning at 2:30 p.m.

Any donation is greatly appreciated. You can also help by contributing to TD Bank account #93660-004-6331161 which is under Melissa’s name. For more information call Brent or Melissa at 250833-8608 or 250-4633681.

by Dr. Warren Gage

Breast cancer prevention

If you listen to radio stations such as the CBC you will have undoubtedly heard much discussion about the article published in the British Medical Journal in early February 2014 which concluded “annual mammography in women 40-59 years of age does not reduce mortality above physical examination,” and that mammography attributes to over-diagnosis of breast cancers. To add to this controversy, in June 2013 the Cochrane Commission (one of the most highly-respected scientific medical panels in the world) looked at all of the latest, least-biased research, and they arrived at a similar conclusion.

These evidence-based recommendations definitely surprised practitioners and the public and have caused more women to question current breast cancer screening protocols. While I am sure the two sides “for” and “against” mammography will argue back and forth quoting medical studies to support their stance, the most important fact is that breast cancer continues to be a serious health challenge faced by Canadian women.

Whatever method a woman chooses for screening for breast cancer, the most important fact is that these are tests generally used to detect cancer once you already have it. I believe what makes more sense is to do everything possible on a preventative basis so that such diseases do not arise in the first place.

There are many pro-active lifestyle habits that will greatly reduce your risks of developing breast cancer. One of the most significant steps to preventing breast cancer is to radically reduce your sugar and fructose intake. Normalizing your insulin levels by reducing consumption of sugars is one of the best ways to decrease your risk of cancer.

Ensure you have a sufficient level of Vitamin D through safe sun exposure. If this is not an option, supplementing with a good quality Vitamin D3 should be done to maintain a blood level of over 100nmol/L. It is important to maintain a healthy weight as excess estrogen is produced in fat tissue, consume plenty of high quality Omega-3 fish oils, and limit alcohol consumption. Regular exercise is also extremely beneficial to good health.

While the “powers that be” argue about the best practices for early detection of illness, when it comes to breast cancer or any other health challenge, wellness and prevention should always be the main goal. Clean up your diet by eliminating processed foods/sugars/sugar substitutes and be sure to include plenty of purified water and fresh organic vegetables. As usual, everyone should incorporate regular exercise into their daily routine.

These are terrific ways to improve your health, reduce inflammation in your tissues, and prevent disease.

If you would like further help in leading a healthier lifestyle, call Dr. Gage at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224 for an assessment today.

Seated Qi Gong is gentle physical and mental exercise based on principles of Chinese medicine. It consists of gentle, low-impact exercises that are easy on the joints and can be done seated or standing.

Qi Gong can help with stress management, pain, depression, posture, balance, coordination, endurance, and

flexibility. It is a method of developing body awareness, physical relaxation, structural alignment and body unity.

Seated Qi Gong classes start Monday, March 3, 7:00 p.m. at Piccadilly Terrace. This is a 45 minute class for 6 weeks, at $5 per class, and is appropriate for the elderly with limited mobility. For information and registration (required), call Lynne Ozone, Registered Acupuncturist, at 250-515-5966.

Chamomile

Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) is widely used for relaxing, and many use chamomile tea for getting a good night’s sleep. The active component apigenin has been shown to bind to exert an anxiolytic and mild sedative effect in mice.

Apigenin also has been shown to reversibly inhibit irritant-induced skin inflammation in animals and to exert antispasmodic effects in the intestines. It also contains coumarin, which contributes to its antispasmodic activity.

Says well-known herbalist David Hoffmann, “It is probably the most widely-used relaxing nervine herb in the western world. It relaxes and tones the nervous system, and is especially valuable where anxiety and tension produce digestive symptoms such as gas, colic pains or even ulcers. This ability to focus on physical symptoms as well as underlying psychological tension is one of the great benefits of herbal remedies in

stress and anxiety problems. Safe in all types of stress and anxiety related problems, it makes a wonderful late night tea to ensure restful sleep.”

Moreover, it is useful in insomnia, anxiety, menopausal depression, loss of appetite, dyspepsia, diarrhea, colic, aches and pains of flu, migraine, neuralgia, vertigo, motion sickness, conjunctivitis, inflamed and itchy skin.

As an anticatarrhal, it helps the body remove excess mucus buildup in the sinus area. It may be used in head colds and allergy reactions such as hay fever.

Essential oil can be added to bath to prevent or ease cramps and aches in the body as it relaxes the body after a hard day of work and eases the mind. This herb is usually safe but may cause an allergic reaction in some people.

‘Pilgrimage to Palestine and Israel: A journey of contradictions’ takes place on Sunday, March 16, 2:30 p.m. at St. John’s Anglican Church (170 Shuswap Street) in Salmon Arm. Rev. Juanita Austin will give an illustrated talk about her visit last November to Palestine and Israel, where she participated in a conference at the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Centre in Jerusalem.

Sabeel is an organization working for justice, peace, and reconciliation in Palestine-Israel. The conference brought together about 230 people from a variety of different countries.

Following the conference, Rev. Austin and about 20 others visited a number of communities including Nazareth, Joppa (Jaffa), Bethlehem, the Palestinian village of Jayyous, and Hebron.

“To go to the Holy Land has always been on my list,” she says. “But I knew I wanted to go as more than just a tourist, and even more than a pilgrim. I wanted to have my heart and mind opened. This journey gave me that opportunity. For that I am deeply grateful, and compelled to share what I experienced.”

Rev. Juanita Austin served for four years as minister at First United Church, Salmon Arm. Currently, she is the Minister at Sicamous United Church, and will give her talk as part of the church service there on March 23rd at 10:00 a.m.

The March 16 event is a free public program sponsored by the Salmon Arm Ecumenical KAIROS Committee, a chapter of the national organization, KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives, which unites eleven churches and religious organizations in faithful action for ecological justice and human rights.

Everyone is welcome. For more information, call Anne or Ray Morris at 250-833-5773.

NATURAL LIVING FAIR IN ENDERBY TOMORROW

The 20th annual seed swap by the Shuswap Seed Savers will be held tomorrow, Saturday, March 1, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at A. L. Fortune School in Enderby. There will be over 50 vendors, seed swap table, heritage seeds, vegetables, honey, baking, information on sustainable living, guest speakers, etc. Bring two reusable shopping bags.

This year’s seed swap will be dedicated to pioneer seed saver and founder of the Enderby Seed Swap, June Griswold, who passed away suddenly this past December. There will be special display highlighting her life and accomplishments.

OTHER PEOPLE CAN USE YOUR REUSABLE STUFF

A woman wrote to say her husband returned from the Skimikin garbage transfer station with a beautiful full colour wildlife book for her. He said that someone had tossed a whole raft of books into the bin and they all looked in good condition.

Perfectly good items are often thrown into garbage bins, and the large green bins at Bill’s Bottle Depot and the landfill site near the airport. Place them in a covered share shack at Skimikin or the green Reuse building by the landfill, or take them to a thrift store. Let someone else enjoy your unwanted items.

DO NOT SPIT ON YOUR ROLL-UP-THE-RIM TAB

A former Tim Hortons’ employee in BC came up with seven reasons why she hated the Roll-Up-The-Rim promotion. Here are two: People who don’t tell you about their winning tab until they get to the drive-thru window. Cups still so fresh that cold coffee and customer saliva are still all over the winning tab. Read the other five on the web by googling: 7 reasons to hate roll up the rim.

Tim Hortons has dropped 24 products from its menu to tackle long wait times, according to the Globe & Mail. One is the cruller. It is also winding down its partnership with an ice-cream seller.

THANK YOU, TIM HORTONS, FOR FREE COFFEE

On nights when Citizens’ Patrol volunteers drive around Salmon Arm and Canoe in pairs, looking for bad guys and stolen vehicles by checking licence plates, they stop for coffee at Tim Hortons on the hill. If there are two teams, they agree to meet at a certain time and have a visit. By wearing yellow jackets, they are served free coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Thank you, owner Kelly Moores.

STARBUCKS HAD FREE BEVERAGE FOR WALKERS

The Coldest Night of the Year was a fundraiser for the homeless last Friday evening. It had many sponsors, one being Starbucks. During the five- and ten-kilometre walk, the route included a stop at Starbucks in Piccadilly for a selfserve cup of coffee or hot chocolate. Members of Citizens

Many businesses donated food for the light supper at 5th Avenue Seniors’ Centre. The chili made in a school was delicious!

ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD BOY CHOOSES TO DIE

While we in BC and Canada debate euthanasia or doctor-assisted suicide, an 11-year-old boy in Kent, England, has decided to stop taking drugs that may prolong his life and spend most of his final days at home with his family. He is tired of battling cancer of the nervous system for over half his life.

Reece Puddington expressed his momentous message on Facebook. His updates on his condition on Facebook have attracted a growing following. He told friends via the website that he could no longer face the demands of gruelling treatment and wished to let nature take its course.

His mother, Kay Puddington, who helps write his blog, said: “Reece has been so good, he never moans. He just got tired of the whole regime. So the rest of the family took on board how he felt and we made the decision to end his treatment.”

She added: “The decision has been a breath of fresh air for Reece. Not to have to go to the hospital means a lot to him.”

SMART CENTRES HAS 31 POTENTIAL SITES

A faithful reader of this column is as excited at having Walmart in Salmon Arm as I am. I visited with him in one of the grocery aisles shortly after the store opened, and his wife joined us. They drive to Salmon Arm to shop.

He checks Smart Centres’ website frequently and reports that the next three businesses will be Bulk Barn, Lube-X, and a Telus Mobility store. He sent the address for the website, with the site plan that shows a potential 31 spots. Have a look: www.smartcentres.com/locations/salmon-arm-bc

WILL SALMON ARM BE ONE OF 16 IN HOCKEYVILLE?

Next weekend we will know if Salmon Arm will be one of eight communities in western Canada selected for the next voting from our keyboards. Check http://krafthockeyville. cbc.ca on March 8. Voting will take place March 8, 9 and 10.

HAPPINESS WAS WATCHING CANADA WIN GOLD

The Olympics at Sochi, Russia, captured my interest last week. I watched Team Canada win gold in women’s curling, women’s hockey and men’s hockey, missing only men’s curling. What a great haul of gold medals for Canadian athletes!

UKRAINE’S PROTESTORS SUFFERED LOSSES BUT GOT RID OF THE CORRUPT PRESIDENT

My heart bled for the families of the 82 people who were

killed during protests in Ukraine, because I am 100 per cent Ukrainian. I have relatives in Lviv. I hoped the country could become more like Europe, but knew that it was in Russia’s grip. After three months of protests, president Viktor Yanukovych had his power reduced and he fled Kiev one night. The interim government has indicted him for mass murder over the shooting of demonstrators. The fugitive tried to escape to Russia but was stopped at the border.

Financial help for cash-strapped Ukraine may come from European countries, United States and the International Monetary Fund. Russia is angry over the new government in Ukraine and does not recognize it. President Barack Obama cautioned Russian President Vladimir Putin that sending forces to Ukraine would be a grave mistake.

GARDEN CLUBS ATTEND GARDENER’S DAY

The Shuswap Garden Club invited members from garden clubs in Enderby, Armstrong, Vernon, Kelowna and North Shuswap to come to hear speakers and see displays at Gardener’s Day on Sat., Feb. 15 at 5th Ave. Seniors Centre in Salmon Arm, and 150 came.

Membership to the local club is $15 for single and $25 for a couple. If you’d like more information call Larry at 250832-6342 or Kathy at 250-832-2028.

MAMMOGRAMS WILL NOT BE PROMOTED HERE

After I had the one and only mammogram in a mobile screening trailer on Centenoka’s parking lot about 25 years ago, I vowed I would never have another. If I had a suspicious capsule in a breast, the intense pressure for an X-ray might burst it, spreading cancer cells. Mammography was painful. I wished men could have a similar cancer test of their testicles!

It has now been proven that benefits of mammography have been greatly exaggerated. Regular mammograms do not save lives, according to an article in the Globe and Mail and reprinted by Dr. Adam McLeod, ND through www. dreamhealer.com.

One of the largest and most meticulous studies of mammography ever done, involving 90,000 women in England and lasting a quarter-century, has added powerful new doubts about the value of the screening test for women of any age.

Many studies report that screening mammography is leading to over-diagnosis of breast cancer. Several state that the benefit of screening 2,000 women regularly for 10 years is that one woman may have her life prolonged. Of the other 1,999 women, at least 200 will have false positive mammograms leading to biopsies and surgery, and at least 10 women will be falsely diagnosed with breast cancer and consequently subjected to unnecessary surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831

the customer traffic flow. Longer parking times fail to increase traffic flow.

The solution: install (maximum) one hour parking meters throughout the downtown area. This places the onus of responsibility on the customer to know how much time is available. Two hour parking is available on the Ross Street parking lot.

We desperately need a parkade. The inner core parking lot is a grand location.

Rather than regressing to a system popular twenty-five years ago, why not apply the solution that the larger commercial centers have used for this very same problem.

I trust you will consider this input when you make your decision regarding free twohour downtown parking throughout downtown.

Olympic update

From left, Sue Doray, Volunteer One to One School Coordinator at South Broadview and Jackie Graham, South Broadview PAC President, donate $250 to the Literary Alliance of the Shuswap, represented by Jennifer Findlay, Literacy Outreach Coordinator and Terra Redwood, Children’s Literacy Facilitator.

Donation honours principal

The South Broadview PAC generously donated $250.00 to LASS to purchase books for the One to One Children’s Literacy program in honour of former principal, Barry Dearing. The following was included in a letter to LASS from Jackie Graham, South Broadview’s PAC President: “The parents of South Broadview wish to show their appreciation of Mr. Dearing by way of this donation...Mr. Dearing was a wonderful principal at South Broadview and he

touched the lives of so many students and families.

He was not only our principal, but a courageous leader, a trusted friend, and, to many, he was like family. Mr. Dearing always wanted to give back to the community and to the students...this is one small way in which we can help him continue to do so.”

LASS has purchased the books for South Broadview’s One to One program and will be placing a sticker in each one to honour Barry and his passion for helping kids.

Snow of support Roy and Charleen Gillberg of Blind Bay showed their support for the Olympics last week with a Canadian flag painted on the snow.

Foundation launches new campaign Contributed by the Shuswap Community Foundation Did you know there are 191 community foundations across Canada?

The local Shuswap Community Foundation is part of something much bigger.

Established in 1992 to connect and support this growing network of community foundations, the Community Foundations of Canada (CFC) is launching its first ever national campaign. The goal is to raise awareness and encourage participation in local foundations across Canada. The “Your Community Makes You. You Make Your Community” campaign launches on March 5th.To learn more about the campaign, visit www.communityfoundations.ca.

Every one of us is a product of our community. The causes we care about, the time we invest, the people we bring together – all shape our commu-

nities now and for future generations.

Giving back is how the cycle of a vibrant and sustainable community continually renews itself.

With an intimate understanding of local needs and opportunities, community foundations champion issues that matter by directing grants and other investments towards everything from shelter, education, and care for those in need, to the arts, environment and recreation. Our local Shuswap Community Foundation contributes time, leadership and financial support to initiatives that benefit our community in all of these areas.

To learn more about your local Shuswap Community Foundation, go to www.shuswapfoundation.ca, call them at 250-832-5428, or drop into the office and visit Paulette and Amber at 450 Lakeshore Drive NE, Salmon Arm.

Whenever the Olympics roll around, I write an article about how Canada performs in comparison to other countries. I started looking at this back in 2004 because I was getting tired of hearing how disappointed people were with the results of our athletes. At that time, many questions were being raised about whether the results were because of poor coaching, a lack of funding, or perhaps poor leadership. It seemed everyone was ready to press the panic button.

To be fair, the 2004 Summer Games in Athens are our lowest medal total in the last ten Olympic Games with only 12 medals. However, we should be reminded that we only had 7 medals in the 1992 Winter Games and 5 medals in the 1988 Winter Olympics; despite both being Winter Games and one on our home soil.

Back in 2004, I challenged the idea that our results were in fact poor when compared to other nations. I mean, is it fair to compare us directly with countries like China or the United States that have much larger populations? So seeing as the Sochi Games just finished; let’s drag up the data again so we can be reminded that we are, in fact, a great sports nation.

In looking at the last ten Olympics going back to Atlanta in 1996 (five summer and five winter games), Canada sits in 9th place for total medals won (191 medals). With the exception of Australia (5th in total medals), most of the countries ahead of us have populations of at least double that of Canada. We even have more medals than Japan over that time frame despite having only a quarter of the population.

If we take the total medals over the last 10 Olympics divide it by the number of games (10) and then divide it by population (in millions); we actually move up to fifth spot behind Norway, Australia, Cuba and the Netherlands. An interesting thing to note when looking at these countries is the fact that these countries tend to narrow their focus on excelling at specific sports, and as a result are not nearly as balanced as Canada. An example of just how narrow the focus of some countries has become was seen in 2014 with the Netherlands winning 23 of their 24 medals in speed skating.

So why do we sometimes question our success?

The biggest reason is we often compare ourselves to our neighbour – the US. Yet compared to the United States, which has 10 times the population and probably spends a thousand times the money; they have only won 3.5 times the medals that Canada has won over the past ten games. Using our medals by population calculation, we perform around 2.76 times better than the US. Though there is always room for improvement, I think it is pretty clear that our athletes are giving us far more bang for the buck than most nations.

So once again, Mall Arkey Junior has proven the fact we’re continuing to overachieve at the Olympic Games. Ain’t it great being Canadian, eh?

DesignDilemmas

by Linda Erlam

Colour schemes, 2014

No way around it, current design plans are obvious in their lack of pattern. Take a stroll through Houzz or any shelter magazine on the racks and you will not see much pattern in a room. Very little in fact, and if there is any pattern it is muted, used in small amounts and acts as a support for the main pieces in the room. For example: no pattern on the sofa, chairs, ottoman or bed coverings. Texture is what it’s all about. Low-contrast is a concept some of us in the business have believed in for years, but it is finally becoming a buzzword concept in design.

If you’ve read this column much in the past, you know that I believe that contrast is what makes a room feel small and cluttered. I also believe that calm rooms start with calm colours, and while some designers insist only warm colours can be calming, I believe that any colour can be calming if used muted, at a low-value and in a scheme of low-contrast. Huh? Translation: soft, almost pastel grey-blue, used with slightly darker grey and soft white for trim, for example. Blue is a cool colour, but if the textures in this room are nubbly linen or cotton, maybe some chenille or velvet, a shag rug, some rocks and wood, it becomes a cozy, calm room.

Short story: A few years ago I was asked to help a gal update her living room. The colour scheme was beige, peach and blue. Yup, hadn’t been touched since the early 90‘s. Blue sofa, beige walls, blue and beige carpet, peach, blue and beige throw pillows and peach lamp shades. The fix was so simple: we removed all the peach components.

The room looked fantastic, the client was pleased as punch because she really didn’t want to start all over anyway, and her husband loved the fact that all we did was buy four new lampshades.

The way to pick a new colour scheme starts with a good understanding of how colours make us feel.

Colours in our rooms do, indeed, affect how we feel, how we perceive our surroundings, how we sleep, and how we get along with others. It’s not an accident that pink – a colour which calms and soothes – has found its way onto the walls of jails.

Next column I’ll explain a step-by-step process to pick a colour that works for your home.

Visit my website Designsewlutions.ca for some more info on colour, and some news about Home Fashions University and me...

Letters to the Editor

Youths commit random acts of kindness

Hillcrest Elementary School students Chris, Kayden, and Brad are performing ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ throughout the Salmon Arm community.

The Shuswap Hospital Foundation office is located near the entrance to the Shuswap Lake General Hospital. I was sitting in my office and I heard a young voice saying “Thank you for volunteering

your time to help people who come to the hospital.”

When I went out to learn more, I discovered three young students who were thanking Shuswap Lake Health Care Auxiliary Volunteer Ruth Dynes for giving her time to help others. This brought tears to Ruth’s eyes and to my eyes. Many patients in the waiting area were also very moved by this unexpected appreciation. What a wonderful idea.

The young boys in the photo told us they were on their way after this to play crib with Bastion Place residents, and they thought they might get beaten in the game by the seniors! We certainly live in a wonderful community, and our day was brightened by this Random Act of Kindness.

Thank you, Chris, Kayden and Brad of Hillcrest School for making our day!

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Quilt, fibre art workshops Cellist brings British works to life The quilters are coming!

Registrations are already coming in for the 2014 Sorrento Centre Quilt Week that takes place each spring in Sorrento. This year’s dates are Friday, April 25th to Thursday, May 1st. If you have never attended a quilting retreat this is one for you to consider.

There are three concurrent workshops offered, including two traditional quilt workshops and one that is contemporary fibre art. You choose the workshop that most appeals to you and you will have five days of great instruction and free time to work on your project while spending time with a fun group of quilters.

The workshops are in three separate venues at the Sorrento Conference and Retreat Centre but everyone gets together for meals and for the occasional evening event or outing ... and you can quilt all night if you want to! The three workshops this year are led by Dianne Jansson, Kathy Kinsella, and Lynn Knox. Diane Jansson will be teaching “Quilts: Connecting Women Around the World,” where you will experience five relaxing days exploring designs from a different country each day.

These designs can be used to create a row quilt or a series of small home decor items. Lynn Knox will teach the “Dresden Plate Log Cabin Quilt” that

can be made using scraps or fresh new fabrics with a wedge ruler to make it easy for beginners or experienced quilters. Kathy Kinsella will be leading a workshop on “Creating Inspirational Flags and Buntings,” where participants will create small flags (pictured) and buntings using a variety of surface design techniques including fabric painting, stamping, thermofax silk screens, adding text, creating monoprints and more. She will talk about traditional prayer flags and how they might influence the flags you create from recycled or crisp new fabric.

One of the special things about Sorrento Centre’s Quilt Week is that it is open to anyone who would like to come and quilt; there is no need to belong to a particular guild or group, and everyone has the opportunity to see what the other groups are working on. Sorrento Centre has comfortable private accommodation and good meals and snacks to keep you going. If you live nearby and would like to come as a day student and return home to sleep in your own bed at night, you are welcome to do so.

For more information or to register, please phone Sorrento Centre at 250675-2421; or visit www.sorrento-centre.bc.ca.

VISITORS’ GUIDE 2014

The Kamloops Symphony, with cello soloist David Eggert, brings you Made in Britain on Friday, March 7th at the SASCU Recreation Centre. Discover music from the golden era of British composers – Gustav Holst, Edward Elgar, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Gerald Finzi.

Tickets are on sale at Wearabouts, 350A Alexander St NE, or online at www.kamloopslive. ca. Tickets may also be purchased at the door.

Soloist David Eggert is a young Canadian cellist with a blossoming international performing career. Known for a dominating stage presence and imaginative interpretation, he has an inventive approach to the traditional repertoire while fostering a strong commitment to musical creation of our time.

Eggert’s spellbinding performance of the Dvorak cello concerto two years ago left audiences in Kamloops and Salmon Arm wanting more. Kamloops Symphony Music Director Bruce Dunn immediately invited him back to play Elgar’s cello concerto and, with the addition of other British music, and this program is the result.

The following pieces will be performed: Vaughan Williams Overture, “The Wasps;” Elgar Cello Concerto; Finzi, “Romance in E flat;” and Holst Symphony in F major, “The Cotswolds.”

In 1909, Ralph Vaughan Williams was asked to write incidental music for a performance of Aristophanes’ great satire “The Wasps” at Cambridge. He composed an entire suite, but only

SHUSWAP Visitors’ G

uide 2013

a few numbers are heard today, with the overture the best known among them. It is full of good spirit and catchy tunes.

The Concerto in E minor for Cello and Orchestra (1919) is one of Elgar’s later works and marks a change from the “Pomp and Circumstance” style of his earlier work. The Cello Concerto, said one authority, is “an extremely sensitive recording of the composer’s later mentality.” Elgar himself, when asked the ‘meaning’ of the piece, replied simply, “A man’s attitude to life.”

Gerald Finzi, born in London in 1901, became one of the most characteristically “English” composers of his generation. The Romance for Strings was written in 1928.

Gustav Holst was an English composer, arranger and teacher. Best known for his orchestral suite The Planets, he composed a large number of works across a range of genres, although none achieved comparable success. His distinctive compositional style was the product of many influences, including the English folksong revival of the early 20th century. Holst worked on his Cotswolds Symphony in 1899 and 1900 and it was first performed in 1902. An interesting sidebar to this performance is the fact that a performing edition of this work only became available in 2006, which means that it may not have been heard for a century. This may be the Canadian premiere.

Being North

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Salmon Arm Art Gallery is pleased to present “Being North,” a selection of new works by BFA undergraduate students at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. Fifteen multimedia works by third and fourth year students will be on display.

The curatorial theme asks what it means to be Canadian, to be north of the 49th parallel. The works explore how are we different from other developed nations, and whether our culture is unique in its response to weather, politics, environment and business.

Co-curated by the students themselves, this exhibition offers viewers a glimpse into artistic process as the emerging artists work through their media and their message. Opening night is on Friday, March 7 at 7:00 p.m. with live music and refreshments. The exhibition runs until March 29, and is sponsored by Acorn Music. Coffee Break is on Thursday, March 20 from 2:00–4:00 p.m., and the Artist Trading Card session is on Tuesday, March 11 from 3:00–4:00 p.m. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The Right Kind of Wrong

This will be the Shuswap Film Society’s closing night film for our 25th anniversary film festival and will be accompanied by complimentary coffee and chocolates for our audience before the film.

In this romantic comedy, The Right Kind of Wrong tells the story of Leo Palamino (Ryan Kwanten), a struggling dishwasher made famous, not by his dream of being a great writer, but by his ex-wife’s successful internet blog entitled “Why You Suck” which broadcasts Leo’s many flaws and failures. However, everything changes for Leo when he falls in love at first sight with Colette (Sara Canning) at a wedding. But the first of many problems, she’s the bride; and when the mother-ofthe-bride, Tess (Catherine O’Hara), shares her doubts that Colette has made the right choice, Leo stops at nothing to win the heart of the girl of his dreams through perseverance and integrity.

The Right Kind of Wrong starts at 7:30 p.m. on March 1 at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

New pot law stinks

In the spring of 1997, four days before his 20th birthday, my new friend Bob Raven was goofing around at Pioneer Park in Kamloops playing volleyball and having fun with his buddies when he decided to join some of them in the lake. Without thinking, the college student ran down the dock and dove in to what he later found out was less than three feet of water. He felt his neck break instantly. Lying face down, motionless, he wondered how long it would take his friends to notice he was paralyzed.

Not wanting to be moved for fear his situation could get worse, he was supported in the cold water for over an hour before the ambulance finally arrived. By then the local newspaper was already there, and he was their front page story the next day.

He spent the next two months at Vancouver General Hospital before being admitted into GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, where he would begin learning to live his life as a quadriplegic.

After plummeting from 160 lbs down to 105, he started using marijuana to help regain his appetite and dull his pain and spasms in order to get through the day and sleep through the night.

“It was a natural way for me to get off most of the heavy prescription pills I was on,” he said. “Before my accident I had always been healthy and I wanted to keep living as well as I could. I didn’t want to be addicted to drugs like morphine.”

OnaBrighterNote

by Lori Welbourne Four years ago he attained a license to cultivate his own cannabis, and with the aid of his helpers he’s been able to medicate himself sufficiently by grinding it down and either vaporizing it, putting it in capsules or using it in his baking so he reaps the healing benefits without getting high.

New regulations that the Canadian government is about to implement will change all of that.

As of this April people like Bob, who are legally allowed to produce their own pot for medicinal purposes, will now have to buy it from a federally-approved supplier at a much higher cost.

“It won’t just be more expensive,” he said. “It will be an inferior product delivered dry through Canada Post.”

That means patients unable to smoke or requiring healthier extract treatments such as edibles, topicals, juices, tinctures and infused food items won’t be able to use it at all.

“I can’t imagine they’ll be able to keep up with the demand or retain our privacy,” he added. “People will be forced to break the law by continuing to grow their own, or they’ll buy from illegal suppliers willing to sell it cheaper and more discreetly.”

Frustrated there’s still such a stigma regarding marijuana, despite its proven therapeutic impact, Bob believes these new regulations come down to politics and money.

“The only people happy with this change in law are the ones who will monetarily profit from it,” he said. “It will only hurt people like me.”

Recognizing there is a crime element that needs to be controlled, Bob thinks the government should simply limit the number of plants per person.

“With my prescription I only have access for enough to grow my own medicine,” he said. “But there are doctors out there willing to write up prescriptions for way more plants than one person actually requires.”

He isn’t against federally-approved suppliers, he just wants to see a combination of options so people who aren’t abusing the system can continue to safely grow their own, and those who aren’t able

will have access as well.

“Big illegal grow-ops on the news have much of society thinking pot gardens are dangerous,” he said. “It takes the same electrical equipment to grow tomatoes that it does marijuana, and with my intent and limited supply, there’s nothing unsafe or corrupt about it.”

Bob is now hoping B.C. lawyer John Conroy’s class action lawsuit against Health Canada has these new changes declared unconstitutional, and the new regulations will be overturned. I am hoping the same.

Concerns about White Lake

The thunderstorm had let up, with just a smattering of rain on the road ahead. A small figure emerged from under a lone pine tree. The bushy grey hair, khaki shorts, deep tan, and knapsack over his shoulder told me it was him – ‘Nature Boy.’ He was hitchhiking to the Okanagan to pick fruit. In winter he lived in the basement of an old abattoir by the Grasslands Hotel at the top of the hill, in downtown Merritt. I stopped the truck, and he hopped in, brown eyes flashing through a warm smile. We soon were deep in conversation about life in general, as we rolled on down that old highway. Then, he looked up at the large cumulus clouds drifting above, saying some were dirty while other were cleaner. I presumed he was talking about what comes into our environment from Asia and China in trade winds, in the form of pollutants. He was a very intelligent person, who, as a young man, had built large, major buildings in Vancouver. He married, had a family, then had a breakdown of sorts, which set him drifting away from society.

As I look back on his words today, and realize just how our universe works, it just might appear that his philosophy on clouds is proving true, right here at home. Pollutants carried over from Europe and Asia settle in the snows. Come spring, particles move in the snowmelt to our rivers, streams, and lakes. As the ozone layer high above opens and lets ultraviolet rays down onto earth, animals, fish, and plant life are affected. This is now effecting shoal beds in local lakes, where trout find aquatic critters to sustain their life cycles, and a prime example of this is White Lake. White Lake has always been a popular angling spot, with a good park for camping, launch facility, and excellent trout fishery. But that started to change a few seasons ago, as the ecology of the lake began to change. Limnology is

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley nature at work in a lake, with a combination of sunlight, aquatic growth, and water quality, all working together to form a balance; and White is changing along with the trout. Too, the population of goldfish are also increasingly affecting growth of trout (which feed on them), along with a dwindling population of aquatic critters. Through calls and comments by experienced anglers to the fishery biologist in Kamloops, on what is taking place in the lake, it has been determined that there is an issue. As well as making phone calls, concerned residents and anglers began a letter-writing campaign to government officials, trying to persuade them to take a serious look into the situation.

It was then determined there is a concern about the lake, and its highly-valued trout fishery. Now, working with the biologist, and possibly researchers from Thompson Rivers University into the decline in aquatic vegetation/macro-invertebrate populations, efforts are being made to acquire funding to support the study. According to a letter from the biologist to one of the local proponents, the scientists, too, have seen a decline in the aquatic ecosystems of small lakes in the southern BC interior.

Winter activities in the great outdoors and Spa Hills, always paying attention to weather conditions, avalanche warnings and safety concerns.

Local snowmobile clubs such as the Salmon Arm Snowblazers, Crowfoot Mountain Snowmobile Club, Eagle Valley Snowmobile Club, Hunter ’s Range Snowmobile Association and Spa Hills

There is no reason to stay inside while winter still holds sway over the Shuswap, although lately there have been hints of the coming of spring.

For a couple of hours of enjoyment you can cross-country ski and snowshoe at Larch Hills Nordic Ski area south of Salmon Arm (above), Skmana Lake near Chase, and Skimikin near Tappen. As well, you can make your own trails in parks and along the waterfront. For longer, more epic cross-country journeys, try the Larch Hills Traverse, a 40 km one-way route from Salmon Arm to Sicamous. Be aware that this is a minimum full-day outing.

You’ll need food, safety equipment and a head lamp, and don’t do it alone. In the North Shuswap, you can ski to the Crowfoot Meadows and in the South Shuswap there is the Blind Bay to White Lake Trail and also the Reinecker Creek Trail.

Snowmobiling is another excellent outdoor winter activity. The Shuswap is home to at least seven excellent sledding areas catering to all ages and skill levels.

Check out the Fly Hills, Crowfoot Mountain, Owlhead Mountain, Eagle Pass, Queest Mountain, Hunter’s Range

Snowmobile Club can help you if you are new to this area or sport.

If there is an extended cold snap, at times you can play hockey or skate on a frozen pond or lake – a very fun and special Canadian experience.

And of course, there is always walking.

nous clouds continue to carry pollutants with just a ray of hope and sunshine into the future, over White Lake.

Here and there in the Shuswap

Sometimes, just sometimes, as hunters and anglers, we wonder how decisions are made in managing our fish/game populations, to give us reasonable opportunity to harvest what nature has given us as surplus.

This after allowing for recruitment, what predators take, and natural causes. Kokanee: The introduction of sterile kokanee into Monte Lake, three years ago, created a great and successful fishery. This ice fishing season, however, it was difficult to catch even a few. Because it was successful, the fisheries branch, planted another 20,000 juveniles. They will be 8-10 inches, with too many kokanee for the macro-aquatic food supply.

Wolves: a contentious issue, with packs following moose, deer, and elk populations, with a government management plan not implemented.

Moose: we are fortunate to have a stable local population. A recent fly-

localities

by Wendy Clay When the weather is mild and pleasant, there are many trails you can explore, even in the city. Salmon Arm has the foreshore trail along Shuswap Lake (left, centre). McGuire Lake is a short and easy circuit, and Peter Jannink Nature Park, located just past the sewage treatment plant, is a good place for a gentle winter stroll.

In Sicamous, try the Riverfront Nature Park at the end of Silver Sands Road, which has several kilometres of pleasant trails. Towards Malakwa, there is the Eagle River Nature Park, with various loops trails near the Eagle River. This park also attracts snowshoers and cross-country skiers, so be on the lookout for them.

A great place for a winter walk in Enderby is the Jim Watt Heritage River Walk. Extending along the bank of the Shuswap River the level walkway connects Riverside Park to Belvidere Park (left, below).

Many of the South Shuswap trails near Blind Bay are steeper, but if it’s not too icy, the lower section of the Balmoral Bluffs trail has a loop trail that is rated an easy hiking trail.

In Sorrento there is a short but easy walk by a creek along the edges of the Sorrento-Blind Bay Community Park.

You likely know many other places to take a brisk winter walk, or ski or ride.

Just get outside and enjoy our Shuswap winter and be grateful that it’s not nearly as tough as many other places in Canada!

Concerns about White Lake (continued)

The fishery biologist spoke at our recent regional wildlife meeting, and he stated that David Schindler, Dept. of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, has suggested that a large hole in the ozone layer is having an adverse effect on many lakes, with the death of carra and marl beds, which hold the invertebrate populations and maintain healthy trout populations.

Another issue is the large numbers of new fry coming into the lake from Cedar Creek spawners, come late June, increasing the number of trout growing in the lake, as well as the numbers put in from the hatchery– about 20,000. The theory put forth by the Ministry of Environment is, leave the large beaver dam intact in the creek to reduce spawning. My thought is that then you’ll have spawn-bound trout and still an overwhelming population of goldfish reducing food for the trout.

Just sometimes, what goes around, comes around, and as my thoughts go back to my friend Nature Boy, who no doubt passed on years ago, those omi-

over count on Larch hills showed 47 animals.

Elk: There now is a small herd of elk east of Sicamous, as well as 60-80 animals in the Enderby area. Deer: A high population of coyotes is taking a toll on local deer herds in all of the Shuswap. If you’re inclined to help reduce the coyote population, get your predator call, some white camo, and tune in a few.

Remember: as long as enthusiasm lasts, so long is youth still with us; so get out and enjoy our great outdoors!

Aiden Hepburn also raced in the Midget boys category and earned eleventh place.

In the individual start race, Larch Hills took three silver medals. David Bakker earned silver for the Juvenile boys, Rachel May earned silver for the Juvenile girls, and Konrad Van Varseveld earned silver for the Midget boys. Aiden Hepburn took ninth place for the Midget boys.

And to round out the weekend, the relay team of

Registration open for PeeWee and first year Bantam players only Due to a lack of volunteers, SAMBA is only accepting registrations for the PeeWee U13 (2001/02) and first year Bantams that wish to play down age divisions.

SAMBA has had 4 long time board members retire as their children have grown up.

Thus, in order to run other divisions, volunteers are needed for:

President Registrar Secretary Uniform Manager (for the league) Umpire Manager Web site and social media Manager Division Coordinators Coaching staff Duties for most positions are in the “forms” section on our website.

Karen Ashton of Salmon Arm, along with her family Craig, Hailey, and Gavin, traveled to Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, Washington, for the Family Day weekend in February 2014. Hailey and Gavin are pictured here with one of the critters at the popular indoor waterpark resort.

Karen receives $10 for having her picture printed and is entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2014.

If you would like to see baseball (hard ball) happen for your son or daughter at another division level, please gather other interested families and contact Shirley Deglan (Acting President) for more information visit our website under contacts.

A little magic instead, including a spring bulb

By Ted Kay I have been asked, most politely, to discuss the current condition of honey bee populations and other insect pollinators and how they are affected by the neural toxin pesticides we are hearing so much about. This certainly is a vital subject, as are other planetary events we are surging through. Coincident with the request was the arrival of an industry magazine whose main focus was this very subject, brought up-to-date, First and second scans have proved that here lies only a slight improvement on previous articles all of which have slithered through the morass of ‘maybes’ you commonly find when corporations and parliaments are justifying an issue which will affect profits.

Considering the polite request, I tried to buckle down and glean some understandable line which might inform the general reader; but then I glanced up toward a potted hyacinth just beginning to bloom on a sunny window sill.

There is an ancient Persian verse which has been translated as ‘If of all your wealth you are bereft, And of all your worldly goods two loaves alone are left, Sell one and with the dole, Buy hyacinths to feed your soul.’

Life is too short to spend forever steeped in the anxieties we are encouraged to maintain, so instead of the original intent of this piece, here is some magic happening in a beehive near you – to feed your soul.

It will be clear to anyone who takes a winter walk that bees have no food source outside the hive for a long stretch each year.

So, northern bees have selected themselves to collect a massive surplus between May and August and preserve it in such a way that it will last at least until the following year. This winter food is stored in parallel sets of honeycomb, and the bees form a sphere

of clustered layers with several of these hanging combs intersecting the sphere. Unless their sources have been contaminated by us, such is the purity of this food that very little waste by-product remains after its consumption.

The bees can hang on for several weeks before nipping out to the privy, even in Saskatchewan.

This afternoon in Turtle Valley, the outside air temperature is up

nature’scorner Shuswap Naturalists

t o -14ºC; in unoccupied parts of the hive, it will be several degrees warmer than that but still below freezing. Freezing air will kill a bee, but in the carefully arranged cluster, enough energy is produced that if it were converted to electricity would keep a 20-watt light bulb lit continuously.

To do this, some of the bees will fill, with stored honey, the inner container they used to bring in the summer nectar, a blob of honey a bit smaller than a peppercorn. The flight muscles are then uncoupled from the wings and vibrated until the opposing contractions produce a temperature of about 40ºC. These ‘heater bees’ distribute themselves along the combs within the cluster and the remaining bees form insulating layers over them. Each heater bee works for about 30 minutes when another will take over.

Thus, the cluster will keep itself at about 37ºC no matter what is happening outside. This tem-

perature is important because it is what newly- developing bees will need.

About now, as the days begin to lengthen, some bees will consume stored pollen and create royal jelly, and the queen will then start laying eggs again. Old bees born last fall will die as the winter wanes, and new bees must replace them when spring food sources appear.

It has been suggested that bees and other social insects be called super-organisms in distinction from us single organisms. The bee colony acts as a single entity when it reproduces itself by division as other creatures do, but unlike a cow or a crocus, it is made up of infinitely moveable parts. These parts can make decisions, perform tasks and travel extraordinary distances from the main body, for the benefit of the whole. It is one of the most efficient mechanisms for maintaining life, and in the case of bees, done with no cost to the plant community in which they live; quite the reverse in fact, as each would not exist without the other. They have been living in this fashion about ten times longer than we have been living; they have adapted to changing climate and geography and have maintained this balance for 10 million years. A few scattered humans still try to live within a balanced understanding, but not most of us.

Homo sapiens – Man, the Wise One; clever, of course, but wise? Well, sometimes; for instance when one of us suggests we trade half our wealth for a hyacinth.

Brian Walter Mackie

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, 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 will be held from the chapel of Bowers Funeral Home on Saturday, March 1 at 10:00 am with Jack Bowers the funeral celebrant. Tributes will be shared by family and friends.

A reception will follow in the Mountainside Room, allowing time for family and friends to continue sharing memories.

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.

Frances Joan Holloway 1947-2014 Joan passed away on the evening of February 15, 2014.

She left the same way that she lived, quietly and without a fuss.

She was born in Newmarket, Ontario an “air force brat” and grew up in various places around Canada. After high school she went to Toronto and became an LPN. Working for two years she decided to seek the more challenging profession of a Registered Nurse.

In 1973, in order to satisfy her travel bug, she joined the Canadian Armed Forces and had postings from coast to coast.

One job entailed doing medevacs in primitive conditions and sometimes in vintage aircraft and helicopters. The work was exciting and one had to rely on wits and intestinal fortitude to get through the day. Her favorite posting was a one-year stint in Germany where she visited every castle up and down the Rhine River.

In civilian life her passion was medical and palliative care.

Although Joan was single all her life, for two years in the military she enjoyed the companionship of a charming gentleman from Nova Scotia. She was almost always cheerful and optimistic even during her final illness.

Wherever she moved her first step was to join the local “fat club” and although challenged all her life by weight problems, this was her main social connection and she always made friends.

Joan liked to knit, crochet and do jigsaw puzzles. She loved flowers. She cherished her feline companions, Pumpkin, Misty, Pepper, Heidi and Maggie who were most likely waiting for her at the pearly gates. I can see them, tails high, running to the gates to meet her.

For the past several years her greatest comfort was the companionship of her friends of Crossroads Methodist Church and her mentor Pastor George.

Her favorite place in the world was Hawaii and her ashes will be scattered there at a later date.

Joan is survived by her sister Kathy and brothers Allan and Wayne and children, and her two longtime friends Betty and Brenda.

We will miss you, Old Friend.

A memorial service for Joan will take place on Thursday, February 27, 2014 at 1:00 pm from the Crossroads Free Methodist Church, Salmon Arm, with Pastor George Fleming officiating. A reception will follow the service in the Church Hall.

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

Obituaries

Peggy Amelia Bates (nee Riches)

It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Peggy Amelia Bates (nee Riches), born May 12, 1929 in Luton, Bedfordshire, just north of London, England. She passed away peacefully in Salmon Arm on Saturday, February 15 shortly after a visit by her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters. She follows closely behind her husband of nearly sixty years, Bill, who passed away less than seven months before her. She was lost without him, and clearly he was calling for her to join him.

Peggy was the eldest of two daughters born to Arthur and Laura Riches. As a child and young woman, she loved her pets and going for bicycle rides in the English countryside.

She did well in school and found work as a keypunch operator in the early days of the digital revolution. As a supervisor of a group of keypunch girls, she met a young Bill who came to install a new data processing system in her office. At first, she didn’t like his eyes, but as he had a motorcycle, she agreed to go out with him. They fell in love, and were married shortly afterwards in 1955.

The very day after their wedding, Bill and Peggy jumped on a ship to Canada and started their new life together. For almost sixty years they were rarely apart.

After landing in Montreal, the couple eventually settled in Toronto as Bill stepped-up to better jobs in his rapidly growing field. Peggy gave birth to two sons and happily took on the role of a loving, doting mother and homemaker. The house was always shipshape, the meals on time, and the garden her pride and joy. After the boys left home and Bill retired, they moved to a little waterfront property on the Trent River and enjoyed a busy retirement of more gardening and travel. In 2004, both at age 75, they sold their property and moved to Salmon Arm to be closer to their grandchildren who were ‘finally’ starting to accrue. All her life, Peggy loved children, and would just-as-soon get down on the floor and play with the kids as sit and chat with the adults. She had a special bond with her youngest granddaughter Tessie and when together, the two of them would invariably end up debilitated with the giggles.

Peggy will be remembered for her cheerfulness, the joy she found in simple things, and her never-ending, but oft-repeated, funny expressions. It seemed she could never say enough good things about the people around her. To use her own words, she herself was a ‘gem’, and ‘as good as gold’. She was always appreciative and grateful for the care she received during her recent decline, and those around her were sure to have their cotton socks repeatedly blessed. Many thanks go to the staff at Cottage 5 at Hillside Village for their work, compassion and care for Peggy this past year.

Peggy will be sorely missed by her son Alan, Alan’s wife Debbie, their children; Hannah, Rachel and Teslyn, Chilko the dog (thanks for all the biscuits!), and her adopted family here in the West – The Phillips’. She is survived by her younger sister Jean who emigrated to Australia in 1952. Although they managed to visit each other only a few times over the years, the bond between them was enduring. Peggy will also be missed by many other relatives, friends and people she touched all over the world. She rarely missed sending birthday cards to children she knew, and kept in touch with so many by writing notes in close to a hundred Christmas cards each year.

After most any family event, Mum would always say: “I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world”. When she passes by St. Peter or whomever she sees on the ‘other side’, I hope she uses those same words to describe her life. Thanks for everything, Mum. Give Dad a hug for me.

In lieu of flowers, please support Canadian Alzheimer’s Research.

CANCER

June 22- July 22

Cancer, find a routine that works for you and then stick with it. There is no need to reinvent the wheel, and when actions become automatic, you can focus on other things.

Cancer

LEO

A need for attention could get the better of you, Leo. A little humility goes a long way and can alter others’ perceptions of you. You may end up being seen in a more positive light.

VIRGO

Virgo, you can differentiate between right and wrong, but your judgement might be off this week.

Rely on your intuition, but don’t make any big decisions without first thinking carefully.

Virgo

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Libra, it may seem like you are being led astray by one thing after another, when all you want is to focus on one task at a time. Find a way to block out any and all distractions.
