Prepare for Daffodil Day 2013

By Terry Jobe, President, Canadian Cancer Society, BC & Yukon Division – Salmon Arm Unit Cancer is relentless. It has taken too many loved ones away from us, and although we can’t change the past, we know we can change the future.

April is Daffodil Month – when everyone is asked to wear Canadian Cancer Society’s daffodil pin, and, most importantly, on April 12th, which is Daffodil Day in Salmon Arm. For a small donation, all Canadians are encouraged to wear the pin to show solidarity with those living with cancer, showing them they are not alone.

designdilemmas

by Linda Erlam

The money raised through pin sales allows the Canadian Cancer Society to fund life-saving cancer research and vital support programs for people living with cancer here in Salmon Arm. Local businesses can also show their support by pre-ordering fresh cut daffodils and/or pins by contacting the Canadian Cancer Society – Salmon Arm Unit by March 18th. Daffodil sales will also take place on Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23 on location at The Mall at Piccadilly, Askew’s Downtown and Askew’s Uptown.

Today, more than 60 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive at least five years after their diagnosis – that’s more than double the survival rate when the Society was founded. With your help, we know we can continue to increase survival rates and save more lives.

The Easter Spring Fling at The Mall at Piccadilly will be held on Saturday, March 30th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. featuring an Easter children’s activity day in the morning and an Easter Bonnet contest and spectacular spring fashion event in the afternoon.

The morning will feature children’s activities including musical performances by ‘Bop’ the Bunny, an Easter story time, Child ID Station, children’s arts & craft station and free pictures with the Easter bunny from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

At noon the Easter bunny will lead the children on an Easter egg hunt through the mall to collect small Easter treats from participating stores and at 12:30 p.m. there will be an Easter bonnet contest where your can dress up in your own special bonnet and enter to win prizes.

Winners of the bonnet contest will be chosen in various age categories from preschoolers to seniors during the Easter Bonnet fashion show. You can find more information on the Easter bonnet contest at the website www.piccadillymall.com.

A Mall wide spring fashion show will follow at 1 p.m. where the merchants will provide the latest in spring fashions and accessories on the main stage. There will be lots of egg - citement at this family Easter event!

For more information on the event contact the mall administration office at 250-832-0441.

Shuswap Squadron drill win

SALMON ARM – A crisp drill performance by local Air Cadets has won second place in the Okanagan Wing competition held March 9 at Camp Vernon. The 11-cadet team was required to perform both a compulsory routine under voice command, and a silent, memorized routine of more creative maneuvers.

“This is a building year,” commented the team’s supervising officer, Capt. Justin Englot. We haven’t entered a team in three years, so the cadets had a steep learning curve.”

Team Captain, WO2 Jackson Calvert was also hopeful, pointing out that 9 of the 11 cadets are expected to be with the team again next year. “That will give them a huge advantage,” he said.

The Air Cadets welcome new members age 12 and older. The squadron meets Wednesdays, 6:30 p.m., at South Canoe school.

Roller solar shades

These members of the shade community are notorious for their blah appearance and their stellar (no pun intended) performance. On the lower end of the price scale you can find ready-made roller shades in the big box stores where they will often cut them to your specific measurements, or you can go for the high-end model and have them custom-made through one of the large shade manufacturers.

The main advantage of roller solar shades is their sun-blocking capability while providing some view. The package will list an openness rating, and the lower the rating, the more opaque the shade.

For example, a shade with an openness rating of 5 is almost totally opaque when down, a shade with a rating of 25 is fairly transparent. Good protection is recognized at between 5 and 10.

The openness rating works with the UV protection factor of the shade. The less you can see through the shade, the more protection against UV rays you have from the shade. The UV rays are the ones that damage the furniture and floors and warm the room. The downside to this is that blocking the UV rays in the winter decreases the amount of sun coming through the windows warming the room, so it’s a trade-off.

Roller shades are typically spring loaded, raising and lowering with a tug on the bottom hem, or they are controlled by a continuous cord and clutch.

They can be mounted inside the window frame but the gap on each side necessary to accommodate the mounting hardware can be as much as 1/2-inch. If you opt to mount the shades outside the window frame, a reverse mount may be the option for you.

Rather than roll off the shade toward the front, the shade rolls off the roller toward the back, and rests against the window frame. Much better for insulation. Some roller shades mount outside the window. I was doing research the other day and found a study done at the Lund University in Sweden which demonstrated that the same shade hung on the exterior of the house was 20 percent more effective than when hung inside the home.

And, for you DIY-ers out there, changing the fabric on a roller shade is a snap. You can buy topnotch solar fabric at the local fabric store and apply it to an inexpensive roller shade’s hardware. I’ll explain how in the expanded version of this column when it goes to my website, which should be in a few weeks. Designsewlutions.ca Isn’t this spring thing just wonderful?? We made it one more time.

HEALTH & BEAUTY Preventative maintenance is key in dental hygiene The Smile People, dental hygiene inc. is the Shuswap’s first and only dental hygiene office.

Instead of looking for things to repair, the primary focus in this clinic is preventive maintenance for optimum health, and promotion of accessibility to dental maintenance for all people.

Now in its 4th year, the clinic is ready to expand its mandate to “Spread the Wealth of Oral Health” by offering space and opportunity for other dental hygienists interested in trying independent practice.

Research has shown that when the number of independent dental hygienists increases, more peo-

Naturals

ple get access to dental care, which brings up the dental IQ of the population, which in turn increases the demand for referrals to dentists for specific dental services.

Research has also shown that in times of economic meltdown, people are less inclined to seek out dental treatment. Many seek out medical doctors for pain relief and antibiotics or self-medicate until they end up in the hospital, or worse. With timely interventions and cost-effective preventive maintenance, independent dental hygienists take pressure off the medical system.

Children show great variation in oral health, even within families. The most common cause for children in hospital day surgery in BC is dental repairs, even though general anesthetic for children is not without risk of serious consequences. A child experienced with regular treatments from a hygienist generally has a much better time when treatment is required from a dentist. The independent dental hygiene clinic, with no needles, and no drills, provides a relaxed, gentle environment dedicated to the prevention of traumatic restoration.

Dental hygiene and dentistry are different, yet complimentary professions. Each has unique strengths to offer the public. There is a time for prevention, and there is a time for repair. Dentistdependent hygienists, working within a pre-set schedule, may find it challenging to meet all the objectives they were taught in school to strive for in our practice. The independent dental hygiene setting allows them to design treatment plans according to our own schedule, based on each client’s individual needs, plus it enables them to use a greater portion of their scope of practice.

With professional cooperation between all members of the client’s health team, the clients wins.

Many women are aware of the importance of hydration and moisture on the healthiness of their skin, but few realize just how critical a role hydration plays in the formation - and prevention of wrinkles.

It's a fact that, when skin is deprived of water, wrinkles form. When dehydrated skin is properly hydrated, wrinkles are filled, creating smoother, wrinklefree skin.

Essential fatty acids

Essential fatty acids have many important functions in the body and are required for the proper structure of cellular membrane, promoting elasticity and strength. Without them membrane would become stiff and reduce their resiliency.

They also help to reduce bad cholesterol in the blood of persons with high cholesterol, yet do not have an effect on individuals with normal cholesterol (HDL/LDL) levels. They have been found to inhibit platelet aggregation and to have anti-inflammatory, immuno-modulating properties.

The importance of these essential fatty acids is that they are essential for life, but not synthesize in the body and have to be taken from diet. Hence they are called essential fatty acids.

Essential fatty acids fall into two groups depending on the molecular structure: the omega-3 and the omega-6 essential fatty acids.

Omega-3 essential fatty acids include alpha-linoleic linolenic and its derivatives eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid

(DHA). Omega -3 acids are found in foods such as flaxseed oil, soy, walnut oil and fish oil.

Omega-6 essential fatty acids include linoleic acid and gamma-linoleic linolenic acid. Delta-6 desaturase is an important enzyme in the body that is required for the conversion of essential fatty acid into their active components gamma–linolenic acid.

Evening primrose oil has gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) which is present in amount of about 1 to 15%.

GLA is formed from cis-linoleic acid.

This conversion occurs in the plant so it is available for direct uptake by the body. This is very important for individuals who lack the conversion enzyme delta-6 desaturase. Some people are deficient in this enzymes so may need a supplement form such as evening primrose oil.

These omega-6 essential fatty acids are found in foods such as safflower oil, borage oil, evening primrose oil, fish oil and black currant seed oil.

More on these essential fatty acids to come.

familychiropractic COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

Nutritional support for spinal cord injuries If you follow my weekly articles you will have undoubtably read about the importance of nutritional supplements to maintain and promote good health. However, some very interesting research on the effects of supplements on more significant nervous system stress and injuries are now coming to light.

Numerous articles have been published concerning the benefits of supplements on more specific spinal cord injuries known as myelopathy.

Myelopathy is a general term that refers to problems with the spinal cord which usually occur following severe trauma or cord compression from a disc herniation.

To give you an example, one of the studies was done using rats to see if diet can have a significant impact on health and healing of spinal cord injuries. One group of rats were fed a diet high in fat and sugar; which frighteningly was referred to as a “western diet”. The other test group was supplemented with Curcumin, a substance derived from the Indian spice Turmeric, and DHA found in Omega 3 fish oil. The results were significantly different between the two test groups. The CurcuminDHA rats walked much better after

sustaining spinal cord damage, had less fatty inflammation in the spinal cord, and had a higher concentration of the chemicals required for nerve healing.

Being limited for space in this article I have just mentioned one of the studies that demonstrate the benefits of Curcumin and DHA from omega 3 fish oils. There are many other studies that show other botanicals such as ginger, turmeric, boswellia, and Vitamin D all of which have anti-inflammatory effects as well.

So, my message is not that fish oils, Curcumin and Vitamin D can cure myelopathy or nerve damage.

However, I am sharing this information to encourage everyone to consume an anti-inflammatory diet.

Preferably one that is high in fibre and consists of lean antibiotic-free organic meat, and leafy green organic vegetables on a daily basis. Do this especially after an injury, in order to have the best chance for a rapid recovery.

For more information about living a healthy lifestyle contact the Chiropractors at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 8030224.

International Women’s Day celebrated at coffeehouse

On Friday, March 8, 2013 the SAFE Society held a coffeehouse at Java Jive Neighbourhood Bistro in celebration of International Women’s Day. The event was free to attend and featured a live, acoustic performance by the Shuswap’s very own Aimie Laws. It was an intimate event, with many people coming out to enjoy some great music, a hot beverage, and to commemorate this special day.

International Women’s Day is celebrated every year throughout the world to commemorate women’s achievements and to call for action on issues still affecting women’s equality.

International Women’s Day brings together women from around the world, despite ethnic, linguistic, cultural and political differences, to celebrate over 100 years of women’s achievements.

Aimie Laws is currently in the studio working on her second album, due

of services to the community, including the Transition House (Women’s Emergency Shelter), Stopping the Violence Program, Children Who Witness Abuse Program, Outreach, Community Based Victim Services, and Police Based Victim Services.

to be released in 2013, and preparing for the release of her 2nd single “Make Me Believe” (coming spring 2013).

The SAFE Society would like to honour the heroic women of the past who fought hard for women’s equality and the women and men still working toward this goal. They thank the wonderful community of the Shuswap for its support.

IT’S OFFICIAL, SMARTCENTRES GOES AHEAD

The following bulletin was sent to supporters by Brent Savard, land development manager for the developer: “SmartCentres would like to officially announce that we are moving forward with the construction of our site in Salmon Arm. We have satisfied all the conditions with the Ministry of Transportation and the City of Salmon Arm and now have a building permit for our first store.

“The first phase of construction includes the widening of Highway 1, the development of an internal frontage road in addition to the store. Construction is scheduled to begin immediately and is expected to be completed by the end of 2013. Construction contracts have been awarded to Norson Construction Ltd. for the work on the site and BA Dawson Blacktop Ltd. for the off-sites.

“We want to thank everyone for their continued patience and support throughout the entire process. We look forward to seeing you at the Grand Opening!”

Thanks, Brent! That is such good news. Now Salmon Arm can move ahead.

TWO CORRECTIONS ON CHANGES TO APRIL 1 TAX

Last week I listed charges to which PST and GST will be applied. Anything to do with hair, like cuts and perms, will have 5% GST added. No PST. Any products sold from a salon and taken home will have both taxes added.

Newspapers and magazines will have only 5% GST added. It will be confusing for a while, as it was before HST was implemented.

COSTLY TO USE ANOTHER CASH MACHINE

On my last trip to the coast I used a cash machine that belonged to a chartered bank that was not my own. The extra charge on my bank statement for using it was $3.50.

I have never used a grey or tan cash machine that doesn’t belong to a bank. A person has to watch the extra cost at machines that are not your bank’s because a service fee is added every time you take out even $20.

ELECTION RESULTS ANNOUNCED WITH SMOKE

When we have an election in Salmon Arm, the results are announced on TV and the internet. When the Vatican’s 115 cardinals vote for a new pope for the Roman Catholic Church, the results are announced with smoke. They vote four times a day. Each time the secret ballot does not have 77 percent for one of their own, grey smoke is sent up a chimney. When a pope is chosen, the smoke is white.

Church bells ring out, and all the TV cameras that were focused up on the chimney will focus on his face and tell the

world the name and country of the man who will lead the church of 1.2 billion Catholics. His hometown will celebrate like never before.

PROBLEMS WITH YAHOO AND SHAW

During a 10-hour period on March 7, 1.3 million Shaw customers had their emails accidentally deleted, according to TV news.

If you use Yahoo for email and you changed your password, Yahoo may have sent a letter to all your friends with just a URL address for them to click. Or your account was hacked. At first I wrote my friends and asked if their computer was infected. They said no, it’s just Yahoo. Now I trash such emails.

GET RID OF ANNOYING JUNK EMAIL

I used to get tons of junk mail every day, especially from companies that thought I still owned a business. I used to unsubscribe at the bottom of each, or reply with a request that my address be removed. But the computers that handled such replies probably saw me as being active so they sent me even more mail.

I found a solution. I stopped opening the junk letters. By sending them right to trash, the sending computers eventually gathered I must be dead and deleted sallys1@telus.net.

IS THERE A PROFESSIONAL EXECUTOR FOR ESTATES?

A 70-year-old woman wrote asking if there is an organization or persons in the Shuswap area that she can contact about being executor of her estate. She doesn’t have close family, and she doesn’t wish to impose on close friends for this role.

Years ago, a banker in Victoria offered to be executor of his elderly customers’ estate. After he retired, he was kept busy in this role and had a nice income. In B.C., according to the government website, the maximum fee that can be charged for time and trouble is five per cent of the value of the estate.

Write me at sallys1@telus.net if you would like to be named the executor of the 70-year-old woman’s estate, or the estate of any senior.

RDNO, CSRD ACCEPT FREE YARD WASTE

We in the northerly part of the Okanagan-Shuswap valleys will accept organic waste a month later than our neighbours to the south. The Regional District of North Okanagan is already offering free yard waste drop-off. It’s the area from Grindrod south through Vernon to Cherryville.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District offers free residential organic yard waste and metal waste drop-off that

starts a month later, on April 13.

DRAGONS DEN PROMOTES CAMELINA OIL

In 2010, three Saskatchewan farmers started growing an ancient non-GMO seed from Europe called camelina, and used cold-pressed extraction to produce 100 percent Canadian oil. Two daughters of one farmer appeared on Dragons’ Den and acquired Arlene Dickinson as an investor. YouTube: Dragons Den Three Farmers.

The website www.threefarmers.ca lists every independent store in the country that sells its oil. In the Shuswap, it is sold in It’s All Good Bulk & Health Food in Fairway Hills, Blind Bay, and Shuswap Health Foods in Piccadilly. By obtaining my postal code from the inside of my computer, the website told me how many kilometers I live from each store in the country.

I bought a bottle of Three Farmers’ camelina oil in a Granville Island store and am enjoying its nutty flavour. It is rich in Omega 3 and Vitamin E. The label on every bottle has a code. When I entered it on the website, it traced my bottle back to the farmer. Colin Rosengren grew it at NW 8-5-11 W2M and had the oil pressed in Tisdale in January, 2012. Here, you enter my number on the website and read the story of my oil: 010500012.

YOUR DOCTOR MAY DIAGNOSE WITH AN iPHONE

Apple’s Smartphones may be the key to better health care.

The best tool to improve and keep track of your health may be in your pocket, says Dr. Eric Topol, a pioneering figure in “wireless medicine” — the practice of using apps and devices in health care. An article from NBC News describes how new apps for iPhone and other devices can measure vital signs and even detect whether someone is having a heart attack. “These days, I’m prescribing a lot more apps than I am medications,” says Dr. Topol. “The smartphone will be the hub of the future of medicine.”

Google or search YouTube: Dr. Eric Topol NBC. Watch an incredible 9½ minute video of how quickly he makes a diagnosis in his office. The doctor is a diabetic and has a sensor taped to his abdomen. He checks his glucose readings wirelessly on his iPhone. 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.

Compelling evidence against wireless

Wireless expert Jerry Flynn, of Kelowna, spoke to over 150 people on February 26 at First United Church in Salmon Arm. The wireless phenomenon is intensified by the addition of smart meters to the EMR ‘blanket’ now covering all of us.

This presentation emphasized the need for full disclosure regarding the wireless impact on health, safety, and security issues.

In his 22-plus years with the Canadian Military, Mr. Flynn distinguished himself as an expert in three areas involving the electromagnetic spectrum and wireless radio communications: Radio Warfare, “CAN-UK-US” Signals Intelligence, and in NATO’s Electronic Warfare community.

This presentation resonated with the speaker’s professional experience: every statement made, fact cited, and quote used

was referenced. Following are only three of the health concerns mentioned.

Dr. Andrew Weill, Director of the Center for Integrative Medicine, University of Arizona: “Never before has humankind been exposed to such high amounts of this very disruptive energy [Electromagnetic pollution (EMFs or EMRs)], and effects are cumulative. We may be facing a looming epidemic of morbidity and mortality.”

Dr. Neil Cherry, formerly ‘Professor’ of Environmental Health at Lincoln University, New Zealand, states “...that there is strong and robust evidence that chronic exposures to ELF/RF/MW fields across the spectrum, through strength, consistency, biological plausibility and many dose-response relationships, cause increased rates of Brain/Central Nervous System Cancer from residential and occupational exposures.

There is no safe threshold....”

Dr. R. Roti, Professor of radiology at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis states, “…results did show that microwaves and cell-phone non-thermal radiation significantly damages DNA-strands and inhibits significant repair rates in human cells.”

Sadly, BC Hydro seems to have omitted any and all such research from their educational literature about smart meters.

The citizens who attended Jerry Flynn’s presentation now have information that will help them to make an informed decision about wireless and smart meters.

Why I relay

by Daron Mayes Lucky Winner? Not so Fast!

The other day a client stopped in, threw a cheque on my desk and said, “What do you think of this?”

I studied the cheque carefully. It was made payable to the client and looked just like a cheque you would receive from a large company. All the coding looked real, the front and back of the cheque had “security features” that I’ve seen before and it was being sent from a very large and reputable financial institution on a bank account that was with a large and reputable bank.

“Well, it looks fine to me?!” I replied.

The client then gave me the letter that came with the cheque. As I began to read it, I got the feeling the cheque wasn’t as legitimate as it appears. The letter was from “The National Lottery” and stated the client had been chosen as one of the lucky winners of a “shopper’s sweepstake.” His name had been selected randomly simply because he shopped at one of many big name stores that it named. The stores listed were stores that most anyone would have frequented at least once in the last year.

The letter proceeded to say that the client had won $153,750 Canadian dollars and the $3,750 cheque enclosed is the first instalment. This instalment was sent to help cover the processing fee and non-resident withholding tax of $2,620 that needs to be wired back to them. Once they receive the $2,630, they will then forward the balance of $150,000 in prize money.

I quickly searched the internet and it immediately came up with “The National Lottery Scam.” I read an article from a San Francisco online newspaper that described how people have deposited the cheque and wired the money only to have the cheque returned after the fact and the bank came after the individuals for the $3,750. At that point the $2,620 is long gone.

The article also noted that in some cases people were arrested for trying to deposit a fraudulent cheque after the bank contacted police. I am not sure about whether anything came of the arrest; I suspect not, but I am not a legal expert.

The bottom line is these scams are getting more and more sophisticated. I was amazed at how legit the cheque looked. I can see how someone could assume they were the lucky one chosen. I mean the cheque is payable from a reputable financial institution and all the stores they list are places that most everyone shops.

So beware! As they say, “if it is too good to be true, it probably isn’t true.” Besides, you don’t want to end up out of pocket $2,620 and even worse in trouble with your bank and the authorities.

I relay for two great reasons. The first is that in 2004 many of you helped me get through treatment for stage 2 breast cancer. The second reason is the wonderful quick, efficient, and compassionate treatment I received from the entire medical field, be it the nurses, doctors, technicians, and office staff.

When I discovered the lump, my husband and I were so impressed with the quick appointments I received in order to get at a diagnosis.

The protocol that B.C. uses is efficient and certain tests need to be done before procedures can occur.

In March 2004, I had 2 surgeries and treatments came quickly following the last surgery. I received Chemo in Vernon and Radiation therapy in Kelowna. Now I just want to give back to the Canadian Cancer Society so that they can continue with their work in prevention, research and support programs. Of course the more money that can be raised the more activity can occur in all of these areas.

In 2004 I know that many of you were at the Relay for Life and remember it was the year it rained all day; then about 5:00 p.m. it stopped and the sun came out. That year my friend, Mary Gates, encouraged me to walk the survivor lap at the Relay.

It was only a week after my second

chemo and I was very tired and weak and was not feeling quite like a survivor. I was able to complete the lap that year. It was the most awesome, emotional feeling to walk and have so many people clapping and cheering for the survivors that it empowered me to just keep on fighting this nuisance called cancer. It was that evening that I made a promise to myself to come back the next year as part of a team.

In 2011, I lost both of my sisters to cancer. The word Cancer makes me tense up but it is important as the luminary ceremony makes us stop and remember the ones we lost but also honor the ones who are with us.

There is a life after cancer treatment and the Relay shows that as many participants are cancer survivors.

That is encouraging for people going through treatment. So not only are we raising money for research and assistance to cancer patients but we are also showing people that there is life after treatment and it can be done with laughter and enthusiasm Now here we go again many years later preparing for another Relay For Life event with friends and family and the strength of a community all with the same goal, to fight this disease. For all of us this fight and conquering our fears inspires us to continue, remembering that those who have passed or are unable to attend are no less courageous and are always in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for supporting this event. I plan to relay as long as my health allows me to, because together we make a difference!

Tax News from Susan Grimes at H&R Block This week I am going to talk about charitable donations. In order to be tax deductible the donation must have been made to a registered charitable organization and the receipt must contain the organizations CRA number. Your cancelled cheques are not sufficient to claim the donation on your tax return; you must have the official donation receipt. Donations also cannot be used if you received something in return for the donation i.e. if you receive tickets to a hockey game for the donation, it is not a donation for tax purposes and the receipt should not state that it is tax deductible. CRA allows you 15.25% on the first $200 and 29% of the remainder. Your claim is limited to 75% of your net income. This of course is again a nonrefundable credit so if you are not taxable they will not be of any use on your return. They can be used on either the husband or wife's return and can also be split between the two if beneficial. Next time I will talk about claims for dependants.

According to the AFL-CIO, the average 25-year-old woman who works fulltime, year-round until she retires at age 65 will earn $523,000 less than the average working man.

Women earn roughly 20 percent less than men. Though women have made large advances toward economic equality, a disparity in pay between men and women still exists.

Many women feel they have gone as far as they can with their employer thanks to a lack of options at the supervisory level, or an unwillingness of higher-ups to consider them for advancement.

As difficult as it can be for women to advance, there are ways to break through. In 2009, a report by Bloomberg News discovered that many women in top CEO positions earned sub-

stantially more than their male counterparts.

Female CEOs of Yahoo!®, PepsiTM and KraftTM earn salaries as high as $45 million.

Despite progress, there are still many women earning less and getting left behind. There are strategies women can employ to change this. * Be more aggressive in negotiations. When negotiating salary, don’t be shy. Be aggressive when pursuing a salary that is commensurate with your experience. * Get involved. Network with like-minded women who have already paved their own way in the business sector. Women working in predominantly male fields can develop networking opportunities that are enjoyable to both men and women. * Find a mentor. Networking remains one of the key ways to advance in the business world. Relying on the experience of a mentor can help you with your career and the pressures that come with it. Seek mentors whose accomplishments you admire and who are willing to offer advice and encouragement. * Start your own business. Women who find their careers have hit dead ends may want to consider going into business for themselves. This way they can spread their wings and be in charge.

Making room for feminine values in the business world

Many female entrepreneurs are a huge source of inspiration for the next generation and do not believe in grounding their business models on the way men conduct business but instead promote their own values.

For many years business women had to sublimate their personalities and strive to think like men in order to be accepted in the business world. Nowadays, however, they are able to follow their own creative drive and be successful without having to betray their own values. This can be attributed to the efforts of past generations of successful female entrepreneurs.

But what is meant exactly by “feminine” ways of doing business? A good example is networking and communicating. Indeed, in this era of globalization centered on knowledge and communications, business can no longer be conducted as it used to be.

Networking is vital in order to meet the new challenges facing entrepreneurs, both men and women.

Women do not have the same way of exercising their

power either. Unlike the pyramid type of hierarchy so representative of masculine values, women wield their power less authoritatively and give fewer orders, preferring to implement their power in a more indirect manner. In this way, when a conflict situation arises, many women will try to bring the parties closer together in order to find a win-win solution.

Let’s celebrate the ways that today’s women do business, as well as the positive results their style has on the economy and society as a whole.

Colourful characters of the Fraser, Thompson and Nicola region

Slight of build and bespectacled, Englishman Bill sat on a rock overlooking the Nicola River, with fishin’ pole in hand.

Just as we drove by a silver streak flashed upward, gracing the sage brush covered hill. Bill had just caught another brightly speckled trout. Stopping the Highways sign truck, we walked over to check his catch. Basic simple flies, a Black Knat, and what Bill called his Yellowtailed dit flicker, sat in an old cracked, bone china stained tea cup. But he’d just drifted a live, juicy, grey/yellow grasshopper, with more jumping around in a capped glass jar.

I first met Bill, who lived in a shack beside the river, at about 8 mile along the Merritt to Spence’s Bridge highway, by giving him a lift to the Bridge for groceries and beer. Each time he’d wave us down.

Maybe it was a good thing, ‘cause a few weeks later on our way down to the Fraser canyon to work, he lay squirming on the hot dusty pavement. He’d been nailed on the ankle by a very large rattlesnake on his way out to the loo (two hole toilet). Doing basic first aid and tourniquet, we rushed him to Ashcroft hospital.

Then there was Peg leg. He lived in an old CPR powder shack across the river. He was a nasty person who could strike out with that leg if crossed and angry. His leg consisted of a carved wooden stump strapped on by a leather harness. A few years earlier, while on a Highways survey crew staying at Lytton, I had a weekend job as a beer waiter working for Ivor Lewis, owner of the hotel. Peg leg would sneak in on the ladies and escorts side and

grab beers off the tables. Black Bill, the bartender, and I winged him out the side door into the alley on numerous occasions, as he was black listed.

This was an era of characters I met, and so many untold tales to be told. But the gentleman in all this was another Bill. In steel head season, he would always be on the Thompson River, with his golden retriever, just below the old steel bridge in town, flickin’ those beautiful colourful flies to wary, very large, chrome bright fish. At times we’d stop and admire those fish he’d landed. Mild of manner, and tanned by the seasons, he’d relate many good fishing stories, as he’d bring out his fly tying box, setting up his vice. One story was of a buddy who had passed out from too much partying the night before, sleeping on the bank of the river. Bill was short a few strands of material to whip up a certain streamer, so walked over and snipped a few forelocks off his buddy’s head! He landed a 23 lb doe on that gold type fly. A cairn marks the spot in memory of Bill on the bank of his beloved river.

Peter McVie, famous bamboo cane rod maker, cast many impeccable hand tied flies to steelies on the Thompson, too! In evenings, I’d sit at the table in his kitchen at Corbett Lake (out of Merritt), watching him weave his feathers and fur magic onto black steel hooks.

Things have changed over time. There’s a new house at Bill’s place. The Nicola River still supports a trout/whitefish population wending its way to the mighty Thompson River. I think Empy’s fruit

shuswapoutdoors

stand building at 3 mile is still there, where the rattlesnakes curled around the watermelon/raspberry patch when the sprinklers were on.

But the once famous steel head are in real trouble, like so many other runs and species, a combination of the Native gill net fishery (by catch) targeting Chinook in June, then the Chum salmon fishery in October on the lower main stem of the Fraser River. This has had an adverse effect on stocks, plus development and habitat loss. DFO/First Nations are working to resolve the situation by delaying certain openings. Once a vibrant, busy tourist town, Spence’s Bridge is suffering.

Steel headers by the dozen used to flock to the Thompson each fall to try their luck.

Even to stand in ice-covered chilly water for days on end to hook a fish. Certain groups want to start a hatchery, backed by money, land, equipment and tourist organizations, but so far are battling MOE bureaucracy/red tape, similar to what we are seeing on several environmental fronts.

Just the memories of past better times, places, and names remain!

Here and there in the Shuswap

British Colombians love their fishing, be it salt water or fresh. We spend millions of dollars on our activity. Fortunately we have the Fresh Water Fisheries Society, operating five hatcheries and a wonderful stocking program that we can all be proud of. Not so with DFO, who will be closing offices in Quesnel and Clearwater, and rumour also has it, the Salmon Arm Office.

It took four years of hard work and dedication to clean up the lower/mid Shuswap of poaching issues and habitat concerns with three of us fishery officers. Chinook runs are declining on many systems. With no

future enforcement Shuswap terminal stocks may be hit hard once again.

Here are the catch results for Interior systems: South Thompson Fishery 2012: Run size, 32,952.

Catch: 1,187. Mid Shuswap; 2012, Run size; 1,418.

Catch 4 Chinook in total. Run declining. May close.

Mabel Lake: 2,567. Catch: 28. Lower Shuswap River 2012: From a run of 15,165, to a low in 2012 of 4,352. Catch: 307. Lower Shuswap chinook return for 2009, 14,773. Now in 2012 10,148.

Report: WARNING to shore anglers at Murdoch point, Shuswap Lake. A cougar has made four deer kills in the last month. We spotted her two weeks ago as she came to drink. Since then another fresh kill of a mature large mule deer buck. She has a range of about 60 kilometres across the mountain.

It’s a prime winter range for deer. Enjoy our great outdoors with a touch of caution!

Female vocalist Andrea Superstein to perform in city

Wool challenge

The Shuswap Spinners & Weavers worked on the ‘Back to Back Wool Challenge’ of completing a sweater by old fashioned methods during the 17th annual Heritage Week at The Mall at Piccadilly. On Monday they started with raw fleece from a sheep and washed, dyed, carded, spun, plied the yarn and knitted it into a complete sweater by Friday.

Pictured are some of the members of the group, from left, Darlene Thornbury, Ann Nikmo, (model Elisabeth Winning), Elvi Pukas, Noelle Cox and Anne Carmichael, who display the completed project.

Congratulations to the Spinners and Weavers and their members on a fantastic 2013 Heritage Week group project.

All those backstage people do what?

Have you ever thought of becoming involved in theatre but feel you don’t know enough about it? Or would you like to try your hand at an area that you haven’t ventured into before? Or perhaps you’re just curious. If so, this workshop on Saturday, March 16, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., “What it Takes to Put on a Production,” is for you.

You’ll get a snapshot of all that goes into making a production happen, from the initial planning to the final performance. Many people are involved. Expert facilitators will each give a rich overview of what they do and how it contributes to the piece of magic that is the final show. You will go home with a mini Theatre Handbook, you’ll know whom to contact for what, and you’ll have great memories of a unique experience.

Mini sessions are on: Front of House, Props, Costumes, Set Design & Construction, Set Decor, Sound, Lighting, and more. Refreshments are provided.

Cost is $20 for members or $25 for non-members (which also buys you a Shuswap Theatre Membership till September 2013.)

To register or for more information, contact Rebecca at 250-8328375 or marchand. rebecca@gmail.com.

Spinning yarn and tales

Some members of the Shuswap Spinners and Weavers “flock together” for some chatting and spinning time the day after shearing day at Harmonious Homestead. Howard Vangool photo.

The Jazz Club of Salmon Arm is excited to have Andrea Superstein to perform on Thursday March 21st at the Anglican Church, 170 Shuswap St., S.E. Salmon Arm at 7 p.m.

Andrea hails from Vancouver and her music is Quirky, Indie and Jazzy and best described as “modern vintage.” She embodies everything we love about the female vocalist. She’s Blossom Dearie meets Zooey Deschanel meets Annette Hanshaw. Its no wonder they call her Super! She lures us into her music with tones dripping of nostalgia. But more than the music, her live performance takes the audience on a journey. She is charming and playful, Super performs the not-sostandards in a way that you have yet to hear them.

She is a true interpreter, as her love for the lyric is magically brought to the forefront. Her take on contemporary composers including Paul Simon, Radiohead and Weezer assure audiences that she is well versed in the music of today. It is this blend of then and now which make this Canadian singer a true gem.

Her first album “One Night” has received many accolades including radio play on various CBC programs and across Europe and Australia. She recently performed in the first ever jazz showcase at Canadian Music week in March last year as a Galaxie Rising Star Award nominee; she is undoubtedly a face to watch on the scene. SUPER is a gal you have to see to believe…….so just be there! Suggested minimum donation is $15.00.

Atom Backs conclude season with a bang and finish second

By Peter Kociuba The L. Turner Contracting Salmon Arm SilverBacks Atom A Development team completed their season in style last weekend, ultimately playing in the final game for first place in their division.

Salmon Arm faced Kelowna in their opener on Friday, starting slow but finishing strong with a 5-goal third period to take the game by a 6-4 final.

Scoring for the Backs were Colby Feist (2), Taylor Howard (2), Connor McKee and Jarred Feist.

Connor Johnson assisted on the game winner.

Gabriel Muriels-Allaway was stellar in net for the win.

Saturday morning’s tilt saw the Backs face off against their rivals from Kamloops. Scoring for the SilverBacks in their 5-2 loss were Connor McKee on a sweet dish from Malcolm Petty, and Jarred Feist.

Their afternoon game proved more fruitful, as Salmon Arm defeated Westside by a final score of 7-5. Scoring for the SilverBacks were Colby Feist (2), Jarred Feist, Brendan Mayes, Marino Bordin(2) and Braden Hessler, while Ty Bailey had a helper.

Finishing in fourth after the round-robin set up a rematch vs Kamloops, and this time the Backs were much happier with the result. Crisp passes and outstanding goaltending proved to be the key, as Salmon Arm ousted their rivals from the playoffs by a 5-2 final. Scoring for the Backs were Colby (2) and Jarred Feist, Taylor Howard and Marino Bordin. Connor Kociuba, Zander Stewart, Blake McBeth and Korbin Forsyth helped slam the door on defense. The final stamp on and impressive win came from Ben Bannister late in the third period. The Backs net-minder stopped a rocket wrister from the slot, flashing the leather and giving it the ol’ round the world to show the whole rink where the puck was—buried in his glove.

Defeating Kamloops vaulted Salmon Arm into the final against Merritt, the winner taking home top spot in the Gold division. This game was the ultimate see-saw battle, the teams trading goals right up until the end, resulting in a 5-5 tie in regulation. Scoring for the Backs were Colby Feist with the hat trick, Jarred Feist and Leighton Boyd.

A Merritt penalty half way through the overtime period put the Backs on a 4 on 3 power play, but they couldn’t solve the opposition’s net-minder; the overtime frame solved nothing, sending the game to a shootout. Although they were able to score a couple of times on the Merritt goalie, the backs fell one goal short and finished the season in second place for their division.

Thank you to the boys for a fantastic season of hockey, the coaches and team staff and also the parents. Without volunteer support, no minor sports team will ever be a success. The Atom Silverbacks would also like to thank the Salmon Arm SilverBacks and L. Turner Contracting for their continued support throughout the season.

Edith died peacefully March 3, 2013 at Bastion Place, Salmon Arm. She was predeceased by her husband Rowland and son Gordon. She is survived by Philip (Isabel), Victor, Alice (Don), Cheryle (Terry), and Gordon’s wife Denise, plus eight grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.

She was born June 16, 1911 in Salmon Arm, the fifth daughter of Alex and Janet Reid (Drysdale).

Edith began school in Salmon Arm West, moved to Vancouver for a short time, and returned to finish at Salmon Arm High School. She attended Normal School in Victoria to train as a teacher. Her first school was at Hendon, near Heywood’s Corner, teaching grades one to eight from 1929 till 1934.

She married Rowland Wright August 1, 1934, and lived on a mixed dairy farm in Silver Creek with her sister Mary and brother in law Don Wright. Edith’s three sons and two daughters were raised on the farm together with their four cousins.

Edith played the organ in Silver Creek United Church from 1934 till 1959 when she and Rowland moved to Salmon Arm. She continued to be active in the Church and the Women’s Institute until recently.

The family is extremely grateful to staff and residences at Pioneer Lodge, Shuswap Lake Hospital and Bastion Place for their warm sympathetic care and support.

A memorial service for Edith will be held on Saturday March 16, 2013 at 11:00 am from the First United Church, Salmon Arm, BC.
