Stick it to warts with this unusual remedy. Some research found that applying the tape over problem areas for about a week helped clear up warts as well as conventional treatment. Duct tape may work by irritating the skin, triggering an immune reaction that fights the infection typically responsible for warts.

The major uses of Devil’s Claw are as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever for joint diseases, back pain and headache. There is currently a widespread use of standardized Devil’s Claw for mild joint pain in Europe. In fact, the German Commission has approved it as a non-prescription drug to treat pain and inflammation of the joints.

However, more scientific research is needed to confirm its uses as a digestive tonic.

Potential side effects include gastro-intestinal upset, low blood pressure, or abnormal heart

Diet and disc problems

In my chiropractic training a lot of attention was focussed on spinal disc problems like degeneration, bulges, and herniations. While disc troubles are indeed a major source of spinal symptoms, the precise cause is often complex. Confusion often arises because in reality, most disc problems are the result of a number of different issues. Upwards of 40% of chronic back pain originates from disc aliments, and only 5% is from an actual disc herniation.

It is easy to understand that excessive physical forces such as heavy lifting, twisting or trauma to a disc can lead to pain and mechanical problems. However, chemical irritation of discs resulting from an inflammatory diet is not as frequently addressed.

How can the foods you eat cause disc problems? Extensive research over the past decades relating to disc ailments has determined that in order for disc pain to develop, the top or bottom surfaces first become disrupted. The area where the disc attaches to the bone is called the “endplate” and it is the weakest link in the entire disc. The first steps of disc degeneration is excessive production of enzymes that “break down” the center of the disc called the nucleus.

When there is inflammation in the disc, the endplates begin to break down, the disc nucleus degrades, and the ligaments that make up the outer “ring” of the disc begin to tear. Once these tears become significant, the person will begin to feel pain in the area. If it continues a disc bulge or herniation will occur.

So, if inflammation is the source of

disc damage, one could easily assume that all we have to do is to stop these enzymes that attack the disc and endplate proteins and we stop disc degeneration. The challenge is that there is not yet any specific research that shows how to successfully stop these damaging enzymes.

With this lack of evidence on a direct intervention, one must make some parallel assumptions from more heavily-researched health issues such as heart disease. In the volumes of research relating to heart disease, a common finding is that high amounts of dietary sugars cause excess inflammation in the body resulting in heart tissue damage. It is common practice that diabetics and patients with heart disease must reduce inflammation through adopting a reduced sugar/ carbohydrate diet. Avoiding an inflammatory diet is also supported in this instance as it is known that people with Type 2 diabetes have increased rates of disc problems.

In addition to an anti-inflammatory diet, there are supplements that will also help. Magnesium, vitamin D, chromium and lipoic acid have blood sugar benefits and will help reduce inflammation. Everyone can also benefit from daily supplementation of omega 3 fish oils to further reduce inflammation in the body. Finally, chiropractic spinal adjustments are very effective in speeding up recovery from disc injuries. Combine all of the above for the fastest recovery and prevention of future flare-ups. If you have been diagnosed with a disc problem call Dr. Gage/ atea.

TRIBUTES BEING GIVEN TO VIC BATES

In my column last week I said Vic Bates is having serious trouble with cancer. He approved my asking you to send a thank you to him through this column. I appreciate your letters. Sally. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you, Vic Bates for Heronview! We have lived here for almost 19 years and have blessed you so many times for your vision in developing this space. We have a variety of units, we have spaces between units that most townhouses do not, we have privacy when wanted and we have a situation that is within walking distance of downtown/doctors/ hospital to say nothing of the marine park with its wharf and added elevated walkways. What more could we ask? Yet without you this never would have happened and we hate to think what could possibly have been here instead, so we thank you. You have always been a pleasure to know and we are so sorry that you are going through a rough time.

Gratefully, Larry & Betty Rogers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you, Vic Bates for always honoring your Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ in all your business dealings. Love, John and Marilyn Giesbrecht. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you, Vic Bates for always being an upstanding individual and an amazing witness to all those who have been lucky enough to have met you:). Nicole Z. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you Vic Bates for your generosity. During the summer months, all the Sunday tickets sales at Crazy Creek Resort went to the charity group that manned the ticket booths. On behalf of Ukraine Orphans Mission, we thank you for the thousands of dollars that went to better the lives of orphan children in Ukraine. Your generosity is a good

example for all of us to follow. Our hearts are with you and we are praying too. Jack & Trish Stefanyk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you, Vic Bates, for your vision for Salmon Arm and area, for your integrity, honesty, and willingness to work cooperatively in all your endeavours. The patience you had in all those years of dealing with bureaucracy to create the waterfront preservation area takes a special kind of individual. May we all be gratetfull for that legacy. Edith Rizzi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you Vic Bates for being a visionary extraordinaire!

I remember entering Salmon Arm via train when I was 14 years old and NOT being impressed with the other side of the tracks. Many years later my husband suggested relocating to Salmon Arm. I vetoed that suggestion because of that negative image still in my head. Years later, you came along and envisioned change. With courage, perseverance and commitment to your dream you worked tirelessly to create a beautiful Salmon Arm foreshore, a place where local families, tourists and all WANT to visit and stay. Thank you Vic, for maintaining your quick wit and warped sense of humour throughout the process. You have made a paramount difference in Salmon Arm and in Crazy Creek for future generations to enjoy. You are truly an amazing man. Vickie Roraph, Enderby. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you, Vic Bates for helping the ladies at the Churches Thrift Shop find and purchase the property where the thrift shop is now located. Without your knowledge, expertise and assistance it is highly unlikely that the thrift shop would be anything like it is today. In its previous location, it was tucked away where it was invisible to many people in the community and parking was limited. The president, Eunice Johnson, consulted the Ministerial Association, and obtained your help in exploring a variety of options and locations. After looking at the numbers, you recommended buying rather than leasing and identified the Beatty Ave. property as a desirable location, even though it wasn’t up for sale. The thrift shop’s board of directors agreed, you contacted the owners and were able to negotiate a deal. Because the thrift shop had been donating surplus money each year to participating churches and various organizations in the community, it had not set aside funds for a building. You gave a personal loan to the thrift shop to cover the down payment, thereby paving the way for it to obtain mortgage financing from the Credit Union. Although your involvement with the Churches Thrift Shop was relatively brief, you had a major impact on the operation. I have first-hand knowledge of your role as I was directly involved. The executive and directors were most appreciative of your help. Al Munholland ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you Vic Bates, the renaissance man of Salmon Arm’s bay area. A man of vision, generosity and integrity.

When I close my eyes for a moment and remember the view across the CP railway tracks in downtown Salmon Arm prior to the 80s, I see large gas storage tanks, a sewage treatment plant, a derelict marina, some old buildings, a slaughter house and cattle roaming along the foreshore. In spite of decades of division within the community as to how the foreshore would be revitalized, it was you who had the vision and ability to foresee what could be accomplished there. You purchased privately-held lands along the foreshore and were able to galvanize disparate community interests–even if unwittingly–to allow for the preservation of the wetlands in perpetuity. You facilitated the development of

In addition, you initiated the revitalization of downtown Salmon Arm and the waterfront by re-introducing housing built above the floodplain lands. Your tenacity and vision has allowed the community to be re-connected with the natural flora and fauna of the bay area. You will be remembered as having soared with the eagles of the bay.

Duncan Myers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you Vic Bates for always being there for those who need it the most and never asking or expecting anything in return. Your warming smile lights up those around you and you are very dear to many people’s heart. God bless you!

Krystal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vic, thank you for the way in which you have walked the road of this life. You are not just a successful visionary and leader, you are also a patient mentor and generous friend.

Through faith, creativity, courage and passion you have established numerous legacies of industry and excellence, and we at King’s Christian School count ourselves as blessed to have your influence in our community. Thank you for the heart with which you have invested in so many lives.

Your faith and humble obedience stands as an example to us all, and we are privileged to call you friend. Jeff Covey, principal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you Vic. I first met you and Alice in the 1990s at the Evangelical Free Church where both families attended.

In 1999, when the Churches of Salmon Arm Thrift Shop began discussing the possibility of buying our own building, the Church’s Ministerial suggested that we ask you to help.

You agreed, and along with realtor Lori Onsorge, were able to locate and finalize the buying of the property at 461 Beatty St NW. During this time you worked closely with the executives and directors in different ways until the store opened in July 2000. Vic, you were instrumental in getting the thrift shop established in the new location, and the reason why it has expanded in just over 13 years. Eunice Johnson, Past President. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From a daughter after she read these letters: Thank you all for this recognition of my father for whom I have been so blessed and fortunate to have had a lifetime of tributes, memories, wisdom, compassion, and love. He has always been my hero and to feel and see the love and support for my parents from friends, family, and associates... well, simply put this is a heartfelt honour to them and I cannot express with any words how much this means to our family.

Tammy Bates, Calgary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Vic from Sally: When I started this paper in the 70s, you owned Crown Furniture on Front Street, now called Lakeshore Drive. You wrote a weekly column for the Observer. At the top was a picture of you sitting in a recliner. In the latter 80s you were developing the waterfront and I was trying to develop McIntosh Grove condominium apartments. You were having such a hard time getting approvals, and then the recession came and sales were slow.

I asked how you were able to survive. You replied that when the wolf came to the door it had pups, and you sold the pups.

You kept such a positive outlook the whole time. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831 The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of Sally Scales and do not necessarily represent those of Lakeshore News and its staff.

Mall Arkey Christmas contest

It’s time for the Mall Arkey Christmas Contest. This year is the 10 year anniversary edition. Don’t worry, the fact that it is the 10 year anniversary edition doesn’t change anything, but it sounded good!

The main reason we put together these annual brain teasers is to stimulate your mind over the Christmas holidays. We don’t want you to simply turn off your brain, sip egg nog and watch television over the holidays.

We continue to get complaints each year, but to date we continue to make the puzzle in classic Mall Arkey fashion. And in classic Mall Arkey fashion, there’s a prize for the first person that shows up at the office in the New Year with all the correct answers (we aren’t open on New Year’s Day). In the case we stump everyone, I will leave the contest open for a week and award the prize to the person who has the most correct answers. Boy, am I generous!

This year’s puzzle is in the following format: Example: 26 = LOTA Answer: 26 = Letters of the alphabet

Now solve the rest: 1. 3 = M 2. 12 = BMS 3. 39 = ASH 4. 1 = LN 5. 4 = LC 6. 5 = S 7. 13 = BD 8. 2 = HABTO 9. 40 = MAJA 10. 110 = CHSL 11. 3 = TAC 12. 9 = ASITS 13. 6 = FU 14. 2 = BSOAL 15. 15 = MOF 16. 23 = S 17. 44 = YOJCA 18. 30 = TTT 19. 16 = OIAP 20. 9 = LVBS 21. 1 = GTDA 22. 76 = TLTBP 23. 7 = BFB 24. 1 = FOTCN 25. 308 = SIP Merry Christmas from all of us at Mall Arkey!

Enderby, we would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s event a great success. The spirit of giving is alive and well in our community. Hard work and generosity teamed up to provide $1,000 each to the breakfast/ lunch programs at M.V. Beattie and Grindrod elementary schools and A.L. Fortune Secondary School and to the Enderby Food Bank.

Huge thanks go to the people who volunteered their time to help prepare (sort, wash, box and repair) in the weeks leading up to the shopping sprees; and those who acted as elves, wrappers, door people and cashiers at the shopping events for kids, seniors, and teens and adults. Monetary donations from the Lambly’s Landing IODE, Enderby Open Air Market and Twice But Nice helped us purchase some new gifts for the tough-to-buy-for groups, and the Imaginarium added some unique items for the sprees. The Bargain Shop surprised us with a huge array of new gifts donated at the Enderby store for the workshop – thanks so much!

We would be remiss without thanking the Enderby Lions Club for its assistance and tables, the staff at Enderby Dollar Dollar and Enderby Jewellers for their help, and the Gerlib family for the use of their building and assistance (including the magical snow removal). And, finally, thanks to everyone who donated items to the workshop – it never ceases to amaze us that such a small community can come through each year in such a big way.

The workshop can only be a success with the help of many so we thank each and every one and extend a very merry Christmas to all. See you next year!

An enduring tradition friends&neighbours This story begins on a winter day a few weeks before Christmas in 1972, when a few young, busy mothers got together for a morning coffee and cookie exchange. Bernadette Jordan got the idea from a Chatelaine magazine. She invited some of her friends over and so it began. What they couldn’t have know then, was that this cookie exchange would become a beloved tradition and a highlight of their Christmas season that would endure over the next four decades.

Some of them moved away and others took their place, but from 1989 the core group has remained the same: Penny Hecker, Barbara Peterson, Tara Hlina, Maurine MacPherson, Betty Ross, Betty Pasquolatto, Jan Rolin and Bernadette Jordan.

“For about the first 10 years it was at my house,” says Bernadette. “It was a morning coffee party with our kids around.”

As the years went on, they started meeting later in the day, with vegetable and fruit platters taking the place of muffins. Each year the food was getting a little fancier; it was not the kind of gathering where you would find potato chips.

“We always get the good china out – it’s not slap-dash at all, and it is nice,” says Bernadette.

Even though the ladies saw a lot of each other all year round, playing tennis or golf, or frequent lunches, the annual get-together was different, taking on a life of its own. It became the honouring and celebration of their enduring friendship.

They have gone to each other’s children’s weddings and parents’ funerals.

“We’ve been there for each other through thick and thin and this is our way to celebrate. Each year is special. We’ve walked many miles together and this always ends the year on a high note. I look forward to it – you can’t imagine,” says Penny a few days before this year ’s cookie e x c h a n g e .

“Sometimes it has snowed and the weather was terrible but we never thought of canceling – the party must go on.”

“It’s a special focus to my life,” says Bernadette, adding that she always mentions it in her Christmas letters that are sent to friends and family. It was her brother, in fact, who gave the group its enduring name, the Cookie Cartel.

Naturally, a tradition this long running has had its hiccups and near disasters. In 1989, Betty Pasquolatto moved to the coast. She would come back for the cookie exchange, packing her popular ginger snaps in a suitcase and riding the bus. All the ladies are in charge of bringing one of the items for dinner. Two years ago it was Betty’s turn to make the soup. The soup was made but before she came she had a fall and couldn’t come.

“There was no no way she was not going to send the soup,” says Penny. “She boxed it and sent it by UPS, but it got lost.”

Ken, Penny’s husband, went to every conceivable place in town it might have ended up. It was less than 24 hours until the Cartel meeting, and it was nowhere in town.

“The UPS phoned at 5:15 and said if you can come here right now and pick up your package – I think we have your soup...It was Italian wedding soup,” she says, “and it was

by Leah Blain

“A neighbour dog ate her rum balls – there were only a few left,” says Bernadette.

Of course they can laugh about it now.

This year the cookie exchange took place at Betty Ross’ home. Penny, unfortunately, was too ill too attend.

“We were all so sad Penny was sick. It’s her first absence in 38 years,” says Bernadette. She sent her food and her cookies but we would

rather have had her there.”

The cookies were left outdoors again, but there were no dogs this time and the cookies were intact. The stacks of boxes, seven of each kind, were done up beautifully. These are not expensive gifts, but their worth, made of friendship that has spanned 40 years, is utterly priceless.

absolutely delicious.”

Although Betty couldn’t be with them, they gave her a fitting toast and all talked to her on the phone.

But their biggest disaster happened one year when the cookies were left unguarded. As the ladies arrived at Betty Ross’ home, they left their baking outside the door to keep them cold.

Letters to the Editor

It’s crunch time for the $9 million Ross St. underpass

Congratulations to Salmon Arm City Council for recognizing that the proposed Ross Street Underpass land lease is a critical step in moving the roughly $9 million project forward, and that more input is needed from Salmon Arm residents before this happens. Council has agreed to an Alternate Approval Process to decide if the City should commit up to $330,000 to lease some of the land necessary for underpass construction. Which means that if 10% of Salmon Arm electors - 1,361 of us - go to City Hall before January 10, 2014 and sign the City’s Electoral Response Form saying we are opposed to spending this money, it will not happen. And for the following reasons we encourage you to do so.

The reason put forward for the underpass is, of course, that sometimes vehicles have to wait at the nearby level crossing for a train to pass. Just how many trains are there and how long is the wait, since the CPR stopped parking trains in the crossing last year? CPR personnel told us there are usually between 25 and 28 trains a day.

The wait times we measured were between 2½ and 5 minutes and averaged just under 4 minutes. A recent City traffic study of the crossing used the number of 5 minutes as a worst case. To be conservative let’s say the average wait time is 5 minutes, and there could be 30 trains a day. That means for 150 minutes a day there could be trains in the crossing.

There are 1,440 minutes in a day. For up to 150 minutes, or 10% of the time, vehi-

cles could have to wait. For the other 1290 minutes a day–90% of the time–whether a 9 million dollar underpass is there or not will make little difference in getting to the waterfront. In other words, for every time you have to wait 3 to 5 minutes or less, there will be 9 times when there is no wait.

Is a 1 in 10 chance of having to wait a few minutes a problem requiring a 9 million dollar solution?

But what about safety, as in access for ambulances or fire trucks across the tracks during that 10% of the time when there are trains in the crossing? If the wait time is 5 minutes, anyone in Salmon Arm living more than 5 minutes from emergency dispatch is always in roughly the same position as anyone living north of the tracks 10% of the time, without an underpass.

And more of us live more than 5 minutes from fire halls or the hospital than live north of the tracks. No $9 million solution to reduce wait times for those emergency services is being proposed for the rest of us.

The other argument put forward for having an underpass is that with more development on the waterfront – which we support – there could sometimes be a few more cars lined up at the crossing for the few minutes it now takes a train to pass.

Although we haven’t noticed a lot of recent residential or commercial growth there compared to other parts of the city, it seems to us that a slightly longer holding lane west of the crossing would solve that problem. If and when it becomes necessary,

widening a short section of Lakeshore Drive might cost a couple hundred thousand dollars, and save Salmon Arm taxpayers nearly 9 million dollars.

And didn’t recent developments in town, such as SmartCentres and Askew’s Uptown, have to pay for the road upgrades necessary to access their developments? If an underpass were really necessary, wouldn’t this be a $9 million taxpayer subsidy for landowners and businesses north of the tracks, which others don’t get?

Fortunately, we think the facts suggest it’s not necessary.

The Ross Street underpass will be the single largest capital project of the current City Council, and likely for the foreseeable future. Not only will 9 million of your tax dollars achieve relatively little in terms of vehicle movement, it will take money from other city services, such as better-maintained roads and sidewalks elsewhere in the city, more and improved soccer and other athletic fields for our children, solutions to more pressing traffic issues such as the Trans Canada Highway, and many others – including keeping our ongoing City tax increases under control.

If you agree, get down to City Hall before January 10 and sign the City’s form there. You can also take a form home and have your friends sign if they’re eligible city voters. City Council has committed to stopping the Ross Street Underpass now, if 1361 of us speak up. We thank them for this opportunity. Let’s use it.

Bill Grainger, Salmon Arm

Let’s have informed debate on the proposed overpass Easier access to the foreshore? I’d love pass is not a priority. $9 million should Please, let’s have adequate, transparent,

that... but a 9 million dollar underpass?

Did you know that the City is moving ahead with it right now? My Mom has lived on the foreshore for almost 20 years so I know the problem with the trains. But guess what? The problem waits are a lot less now with the double tracking (a recent study proves this). I would like better access to the foreshore but not if it means spending $9 million dollars that might be better spent elsewhere. And having participated in the last two Official Community Plans and heard what are priorities for locals, it is obvious an under-

not be spent without more public input and education. Wasn’t there an underpass study in the last budget? What were the results? What are the long-term benefits of an underpass? Is the proposed location the best place? Is it all local tax dollars paying for this? If the majority want this, then let’s go for it but to forge ahead ignoring the traffic study, years of public input that does not prioritize this, and to do it in this duplicitous way (pushing it through in a vaguely-worded document and timed at Christmas) is an affront to democracy.

informed debate before we spend nine million dollars that we will likely be paying for for twenty years. If this makes sense to you, go to City Hall and sign the Elector Response Form by January 10th.

You may also sign it up until Christmas, at Gondwana Gallery across from the old Askews on Front Street. Signing it will ensure that this $9 million dollar idea will go to referendum (where it just might pass but at least it will be the will of the people).

Voter apathy reason for ‘reverse referendum’

Taxpayers, wake up!

For a city that hasn’t yet even made a decision if it wants or needs the CPR underpass, why should we be even considering wasting well above $330,000 (when loss of taxes and provision of liability insurance etc. are added in)?

If the City decides someday to proceed with the underpass, then the City would buy the right-of-way required for the project and leave such items as a staging area up to the contractor.

If the City decides not to proceed, then W. H. Laird Holdings will be the only winner in this proposal.

Voter apathy is the reason for this “reverse referendum.” City Council is sure that at this busy time of year, not enough taxpayers will make themselves aware of the issue, let alone visit City Hall to vote it down.

I hope I’m wrong.

Okanagan College English professor Alix Hawley is the winner of the Canada Writes BloodLines short story contest for “Pig (for Oma),” a story based on her grandmother’s experiences in the Second World War. “Sharp and fresh,” and “beautifully rendered, from the first sentence to the last,” according to contest judge and novelist Lawrence Hill, Hawley’s winning story garners her a $1,000 award from the Canada Council for the Arts.

Hawley entered the contest after learning stories had to include a true family anecdote, saying, “I immediately thought of my Oma, Gerarda Boerboom

Bunyan, and her story of smuggling a pig in Nazi-occupied Holland.

“My Oma lived through the Nazi occupation. She’s never been one to back down. Pigsmuggling, turning her back on Dutch Nazi officials who ordered her to salute, harbouring Underground resistance fighters, and getting shot are among her accomplishments. She married an English soldier and had four children, one of whom is my dad.”

Hawley teaches English literature and creative writing at Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus, saying, “I love teaching short fiction and the novel. My specialization is 19th- and early

20th-century fiction and children’s literature, which I foist upon unsuspecting students.

Some of them end up loving it as I do.”

“Pig (for Oma),” was one of over 800 contest entries in the Canada Writes BloodLines contest, which invited writers to share “moments, memories and lives” of their blood relatives. Twenty stories were selected for a shortlist, with the winner selected by Hill, the 2013 Massey Lecturer, and author of The Book of Negroes.

Hawley’s winning story can be read on the Canada Writes website: www.cbc.ca/canadawrites.

The story of chocolate shuswapoutdoors

‘Tis the festive season once again, and time to get those cards sent to friends, and gifts wrapped and placed under the tree. Among those presents, a very novel and an old standby at Christmas time is a box of chocolates. For chocolate lovers, there has never been a better selection in most stores, with a wide variety of milk/all nut/caramel, with Hershey’s Pot of Gold topping the list, along with Purdy’s and Ganong’s. Hot chocolate drinks really hit the spot on any outdoor outing or activity, and Cadbury’s or Carnation can’t be beat.

But our story begins a few winters back on a frozen lake named Joyce, east of Falkland, on an ice fishing angler compliance check. It was a cold snowy morning, as I stopped my patrol truck in the parking area, and observed three anglers out on the ice around a small fire.

All had a cold can of beer in their hands as they watched their bobbers for a bite. A few feet away was another rod fishing. After checking their angling licences, I enquired about the other unattended rod.

One said it belonged to a buddy who had just had dashed off to town for a minute. I asked once again. No one wanting to fess up as it is a $117 fine, (angling 2 lines). The rod was seized, bagged and tagged under P.O.P.U. (persons or parties unknown). Getting back into the vehicle to travel to White Lake on a check, I couldn’t for the life of me figure how folks could stand out in the cold drinking half-frozen beer, when a thermos of coffee or hot

chocolate would keep ya toasty warm.

Chocolate has been around for thousands of years. Botanists believe the first cocoa trees grew wild in the Amazon jungle/Orinoco basins, 4000 years ago.

By 600 AD, Mayans had established plantations in the Yucatan. In the 14th century, Montezuma, the Aztec emperor, claimed that “chocolate was a divine drink, which builds up resistance and fights fatigue.” The first chocolate drinking establishment appeared in London in1657. The first chocolate mill in the US was built in 1765 by Irish chocolate maker John Hanan, at Dorchester, Mass. with the help of Dr. James Baker, who later became known for Baker’s chocolate. The first chocolate bar was produced in Bristol, England in 1847, when Joseph Fry and sons made a paste that could be molded.

In Birmingham, a one man tea/coffee business opened, run by a young Quaker named John Cadbury. It wasn’t long before he perfected the chocolate bar. In 1867, Daniel Peter of Vevey, Switzerland experimented for 8 years before coming up with a milk chocolate for eating. Two years later, Daniel Peter and Henri Nestle, a pharmacist, formed the Nestle company.

Now for some trivia; The first recipe for chocolate brownies appeared in a Sears/ Roebuck catalogue in 1897. Richard Cadbury invented a box for storing and presenting eating chocolates in 1868.

The firm of Chocolat de Roat, founded in 1898

and later renamed Marquis De Sevigne chocolates, was the first to manufacture and promote richly-designed chocolate boxes. Jean Neuhaus, a Swiss pharmacist, invented praline chocolates in 1912, and also created the ballotin, a small cardboard box designed to hold a small assortment of chocolates, which is still popular today.

No matter your taste, whether a chilly beer on a frozen lake, or a creamy, dreamy mug of hot chocolate with a whipped cream topping, chocolate has been around for a long long time, and will be for a long time to come. So... to sweeten up that grumpy ol’ ice fisherman or even hubby, there’s a formula to follow: Love, loyalty, forgiveness, friendship, a couple spoons of hope, 2 spoons of tenderness, 4 quarts of faith, 1 barrel of laughter, and a big box of chocolates!

Fishing report: In their eagerness to go fishing, some anglers are too quick to forget just how much work was involved in eradicating populations of spiny ray invasive perch in local lakes just a short two years ago. But they are now enjoying the benefits of some excellent trout-only fishing in our local lakes, thanks to the Ministry of Environment, Kamloops, and the Salmon Arm Fish and Game Club who helped in many ways. Ice fishing: Gardom - ice thin in spots, with 4 inches over lake. Use caution if taking family there, and follow trails. Lake has Fraser Valley/ Pennask rainbows now to 5 lbs. Can be moody.

Mt Baldy trail ready for winter

The snow seems to turn pink out on the trail in late winter afternoon light. That’s the experience shared by participants during the recent winter Bigfoot trail snowshoe walk this past weekend out on the new Mt Baldy Lookout trail. The walk featured one of the newest additions to the growing trail system throughout the Shuswap this year.

The posting on the Shuswap Trails website describes the new Mt Baldy trail as “a 2.8 kilometer intermediate walk uphill through mixed forests to a great little lookout over the South Shuswap.” (See www.shuswaptrails. com) It is a collaborative project between the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area C Parks Commission, the Sorrento and Area

C o m m u n i t y Association, and the Shuswap Trail Alliance.

“We’re just so pleased with it,” says Jay Scholton, with the Sorrento and Area C o m m u n i t y Association. Jay championed the need for the new trail when an existing old forest track to the lookout became closed to local access.

With the help of volunteers through the Shuswap Trail Alliance, including well known trail blazing veteran, John Coffey, and the support of CSRD Parks staff, a new trail was plotted.

CSRD Parks staff supported local volunteer trail planners, then worked with the support of Splatsin Archeological services and local First Nations leadership to access the trail for p o t e n t i a l impacts, and then worked with the Provincial Bigfoot snowshoe participants explore the new Mt Recreation Sites Baldy Lookout Trail. It’s the latest addition to the growing and Trails office greenway trail system in the Shuswap. Check it out at to review and www.shuswaptrails.com. Photo contributed. authorize the

new trail alignment. “It takes thoughtful consideration to determine the best final alignment for a trail,” observes Phil McIntyre-Paul, with the Shuswap Trail Alliance. “There were at least 10 field sessions between beginning the process and final authorization. Even then, the need for ongoing monitoring of a new trail is important to ensure it holds up to continued use.”

The Mt Baldy Lookout trail joins over 12 kilometers of new trails added this year to the already impressive list of great trails throughout the region.

Other new trails built by regional partners in 2013 include The Flying Nun, the Hobby Horse, PPT2, and PPT2 Backloop trails at South Canoe (2.5 km); completion of the new Veggie Delight and Connector trails at Rubberhead (3 km); completion of the Raspberry Hill addition to the Larch Hills Traverse (1 km); the Gayle Creek Loop, Pileated Woods Owl Prowl bike connector, and two sections of new Hillcrest greenway trail in Salmon Arm (2 km); the MV Beattie School Greenway path in Enderby (420 meters);

and the new Wild Rose Bay trail with CSRD Parks in the South Shuswap (850 km).

“We all need to applaud the hard work of regional, band, and municipal staff, provincial agencies like BC Parks and Recreation Sites and Trails BC, local political leadership, stewardship organizations, consulting partners, sponsors, and community champions,” says McIntyrePaul with the Shuswap Trail Alliance. “We’re continuing to see a strong commitment from communities to make the Shuswap a healthier, more sustainable, and beautiful place to live.”

Girls’ BC Cup at Shaw Centre

BC Hockey announced December 18th that Salmon Arm has been selected as the host site for the 2014 Female U18 BC Cup. The event will take place April 23–27, 2014 at the Shaw Centre in Salmon Arm. “The city of Salmon Arm, the Shuswap Recreation Society and Shaw Centre are very happy to once again be chosen as the host of the 2014 U18 Female BC Cup,” says David Knight of the Shuswap Recreation Society. “In the past, this event has brought some of the most talented female athletes in BC to compete for the BC Cup with some of these players going on to play for the Women’s U18 Team Canada. We are very happy to be a part of helping these young women achieve their goals of playing at a higher level.”

Season long evaluation data will be tabulated and the top 80 players will be invited to the four (4) team BC Cup. The U18 BC Cup will feature a very demanding schedule and push players through games, practices, off-ice technical training and fitness testing. Players will be challenged in an elite, competitive environment for an invitation to the U18 Provincial Camp and ultimately a spot on Team BC to participate at the 2015 Canada Winter Games in Prince George.

BC Hockey’s Female U18 level is the third and final stage of the High Performance Program. It is an opportunity for the top players in the Province to train and compete at an elite level and is meant to introduce players to the beginning of the Hockey Canada Program of Excellence. The U18 program is designed to emulate national and international competitions.

On January 25th and 26th, British Columbians will have the chance to show their hearts to children who have special needs. Variety – The Children’s Charity returns to the air on Global BC with the 48th annual Show of Hearts Telethon, its biggest fundraising event. Last year donors helped Variety raise over $7 million.

For anyone who grew up in British Columbia, Variety’s Show of Hearts Telethon is a yearly celebration of the positive and far-reaching impact donors have on families with children who have special needs.

“The Telethon is our signature fundraiser,” says Bernice Scholten, Executive Director of Variety. “Once a year we ask viewers to invite us into their living rooms to see firsthand the impact their donations make and ask them to support children who have special needs. Variety is about families supporting families and there’s nothing more powerful than that.”

As with every Variety’s fundraising campaign, all funds raised at Variety and the Show of Hearts Telethon stay

in British Columbia. In 2013, Variety provided grants to 1,277 families and also to 32 organizations offering specialized programs and services to children who have special needs. The funding paid for things like new equipment in hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Units, expensive life-saving medications, physical therapies, mobility and communication devices and educational bursaries to special schools.

The programming lineup this year includes performances by internationally-renowned artists including Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, Elton John, and “Journey of Man”, a visually stunning celebration of life presented by Cirque Du Soleil.

Complete program information is available online at variety.bc.ca/telethon.

Watch your favourite Global BC personalities on January 25th at 7:00 p.m. to January 26th at 5:30 p.m. and make a pledge by calling 310-KIDS. Donations can also be made online at variety.bc.ca.

SEASON’S GREETINGS

DesignDilemmas

by Linda Erlam

Things I’ve learned on the internet

These are some things I learned on the internet.

If you want to check them out, I’ve included the basic link for you to re-type, if you go to my website and look under ‘Columns’ you will get a live link you can just click.

1. “Why paint a Ceiling Black?” (Houzz: Reasons to Paint a Ceiling Black by Fred Albert.)

He lists 11 very good reasons for painting a ceiling black, from making your walls look taller to making your walls look shorter, with pictures and good explanations. You know how I feel about contrast; this article is a good picture book of how contrast can work for you and against you.

2. “1password.” I had an address book on my desk with all my account passwords in it. I know, I know, horrid breach of security but I have about 200 password-controlled accounts. I used to use the same password for most of my accounts, but the name of my first pet isn’t “secure” enough anymore. And, heaven forbid, if I need to access an account on my laptop when I’m out and the book is at home, chances are I have to do the reset thing and that just makes me really crabby. 1password controls all the passwords and allows me to get rid of the book. Google “1password” to find it.

3. “Clutter Makes You Fat.” From the Daily Mail, UK, by Peter Walsh. I know I am less productive in my workroom when it is in disarray. I spend too much time looking for things. So, I’ve learned to keep it relatively tidy and everything has a place – and it goes into that place when not in use. Same thing in the kitchen. If it’s a disaster and I want to eat something, chances are really good I’ll end up with something quick and probably not good for me or my fanny. Peter Walsh (of Oprah fame), explains why clutter can make you fat. It’s a good read; clear and concise with great examples and testimonials. Very enlightening. Google “Clutter Makes You Fat” to find the article.

4. And for those of you waiting for the big colour of the year announcement from Pantone, the colour poo-bahs, here it is: Radiant Orchid, 18-3224 TCX. Go to teczno.com/notes/pantone-colors.htm for the last 14 years of colour of the year.

DL #30922

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press The B.C. government has uncorked another round of liquor law reform, with children to be allowed in pubs and restaurants allowed to serve drinks without food.

Premier Christy Clark announced the changes at a downtown Vancouver restaurant Tuesday, as the provincial cabinet works its way through a list of 70 recommendations from a recent public consultation on updating B.C. liquor laws.

As with earlier rounds of liquor reform, Tuesday’s event was short on details and long on populist appeal. Some time next year B.C. will see the changes, and will also join all other Canadian provinces in allowing pubs to offer discounted drinks for happy hour. Permitted times and a minimum drink price are still to be determined.

Children are to be allowed to accompany their parents into pubs up until an evening curfew time, also yet to be determined, but Clark said it will allow families to have lunch or dinner together at a pub. Royal Canadian Legion branches will have the same freedom to admit under-age family members.

Restaurants with “food primary” licences will still have to offer a full menu when liquor is available, Clark said, “but customers who don’t want to order food shouldn’t be forced to do so, and food primary businesses that want to fully transition away from food service after a certain hour, and operate for example as a night club, will be able to apply for a special licence to do so.”

NDP critic Shane Simpson said the changes effectively erase the distinction between a licensed restaurant and a pub, and are being announced for popular effect without any research to support them.

The province also intends to make its Serving it Right liquor training to all servers in licensed restaurants, as well as staff at B.C. Liquor Stores and rural agency and wine stores. Licensees, managers, sales and serving staff “should also be required to recertify,” according to a government news release.

Last week Clark and Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap, who led the public consultation on liquor law reform, announced that regulations would be eased for winery tasting rooms. Farm markets will also be allowed to offer samples and sales of locally made beer, wine and spirits.

RONNIE TURNER Ronald Hudson Turner was born in Salmon Arm on August 16, 1913. He died after a short illness in the Shuswap Lake Hospital on December 9, 2013 at the age of 100 years and 115 days.

Ronald (Ronnie) was the third of four children born to Robert and Maude (McGuire) Turner.

Edward, Marjorie and Alexander (Sandy) all predeceased him. The mother of his children, June Johnson (Gillis) died in December 1999.

Left to enjoy the wonderful memories of this amazing man are his children, Robert & (Evelyn) (Stewart), Glenna & (Gary Thors), and Janice & (John Grave), three grandchildren, Michael, Michelle and Shannon and three great grandchildren, Hayden, Emily and Malaya. He is also survived by life long friend, Norah McDiamid and will be missed by nieces, Patricia, Jennifer, Pat and Teresa and their families who made regular trips from afar to visit him. He was one of the two remaining grandsons of Sarah Agnes Hudson and Alexander McGuire. Cousin George McGuire at 98 years lives in Victoria.

Ronnie was born into a home located where the Service BC building currently sits, amongst a growing orchard started by his father in 1896.

Including the time he was going to school, he spent thirty years working for his father’s company, R. Turner & Sons. It would have been much longer had it not been for the bitter winter of 1949/50 commonly known as the “Big Freeze” which hit the Shuswap orchardists very hard. In 1953, Ronnie left his father’s dream behind him and started a new chapter in his own life. He became employed by the BC Department of Highways in a career that would take him to his retirement in 1975. During his tenure with the Dept. of Hwys, he worked in Vernon, Revelstoke (Rogers Pass) and then in the Fraser Canyon where he stayed for a number of years. In 1964, he was moved to Campbell River and then Gold River where he loved to go fishing in Nootka Sound. Lake Cowichan was the next stop and then back to the mainland to Honeymoon Creek and finally Langley. Wherever he ended up, he took an intense interest in the local history. After his mother Maude died in 1978, Ronnie moved back to Salmon Arm into the house they had built for her 25 years before. He started planting fruit trees again and was soon back to what he loved best, tending to his little orchard. He was fondly referred to as “the Plum Man”. Nothing fancy; weigh your fruit on a 100-year-old scale, put your money in an old tobacco can. This carried on right up until the last Italian prune plum was picked for the season 2013.

Ronnie loved to travel and he managed to touch down on every continent but Antarctica. His last trip was in 1996 back to his father’s homeland, Northern Ireland. With only a postcard sent to his family some 90 years before, from his uncle, to go by, he and daughter Glenna set off to the old country to seek out any relatives that might still be alive. With very little trouble (thanks to the postcard) they were able to locate his Uncles’ son, another Robert Turner. The line of communication between the families remains today.

In addition to traveling to far away lands, Ronnie enjoyed hiking, fishing, reading and stamp collecting. He made enough jam and jelly from his own fruit to keep all his family supplied and anyone else who happened to be there. He loved to have his grandchildren around and taught them to play crib at a very early age. There was never a family gathering without the crib board appearing. The terms “Morgan’s Orchard (two pair) and “you couldn’t stack hay” will ring on in our family forever.

Ronnie’s Celebration of Life was held at Bowers Funeral Chapel on Saturday December 14, 2013, interment was at Mount Ida Cemetery.

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

CROSSWORD

Duct tape may work by irritating the skin, triggering an immune reaction that fights the infection typically responsible for warts.
