DesignDilemmas

by Linda Erlam

Wood flooring

I remember the electric floor buffer my mom pushed around the living room floor. Dad had laid and finished the floor, probably from flooring he made himself – he was a master carpenter.

Krikey; those floors took work but they were impervious. We had dogs and cats and kids with toys in a living room where we were allowed to take the cushions off the sofa and make forts any time we wanted.

Engineered, hardwood or laminate. How do you choose? What do you do about the sun streaming in through your huge windows; will it damage the flooring of choice? Do you have a four-legged family member you don’t want to have to banish to the garage because she might mark the floor? What can you put in the basement?

Hardwood: solid wood all the way through.

Some wood is harder than others. Wood hardness is measured compared to American Red Oak. A hardwood floor can last decades and is great for high-traffic areas. Softer woods are better suited for lower-traffic areas. (Go to DesignSewlutions.ca for a link to the U.S. Forest Service hardness chart.)

Engineered flooring: This is a thin layer of real wood glued to plywood. Now that’s an overly simple explanation, but it is basically true.

Engineered flooring was designed for use over concrete as in basements and over in-floor heating. And because the wood layer can have the same finishes as hardwood, the product can be just as durable.

Laminate: this is a picture glued to composite board. Laminates can be more durable and scratch-resistant than hardwood or engineered wood, and are available at substantially less cost.

Ease of installation and durability are two real advantages of laminate flooring.

Almost as critical as the product itself is the finish applied: finishes such as aluminum oxide or acrylic applied on hardwood or engineered wood can reduce the susceptibility to scratches and sun-fade. If you have a deep scratch on your hardwood floor, you can sand away if you are able to re-stain, if necessary. If the scratch is on engineered flooring you can only sand a tiny bit before you break through the veneer. But in either case you run the risk of removing the protective coatings. You don’t sand laminate but you probably won’t ever need to.

And, don’t forget to ask the flooring expert for information. Just like other decor decisions, decide what you need from your floor and shop accordingly.

Fire destroys residential complex

On Friday evening a large vacant residential structure at Friesens’ Complex in Ranchero went up in flames. By the time the fire department arrived, the building was nearly fully engulfed as the fire was able to

travel through the attic area rapidly. The Ranchero Deep Creek fire department did an excellent job of keeping the fire contained to just the one building. People driving by on the highway could feel the heat from the flames as

they passed. It took several hours of hard work by the firefighters with water support from the Salmon Arm department to ensure that the fire was completely out. No one was hurt.

Volunteers needed for donkey refuge

Volunteer ambassadors are needed for Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge, starting Saturday, July 5th and running to Sunday, September 7th from 11:00 a.m to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sundays only.

The folks at the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge open up their new farm for visitors, and they are looking for volunteers as greeters at this new location. The day will include promoting the new farm for the donkeys, showing the visitors the walking trails, picnic area, and handing out maps to the old farm to meet the other donkeys. You will also give a short introduction to Dan Patch and Whitey, and encourage visitors to walk about the new permanent home for the donkeys.

This program runs for eight weeks total; you can volunteer for one day a week or one day total, whatever fits your schedule.

Training is available and there will be brochure handouts for ease of information sharing. This position is on a volunteer basis and is a great way for anyone wanting to help the donkeys in a fun and relaxed work environment.

Volunteering will be done as a buddy sys-

tem of two folks each day, and it’s a great way to spend a day in the country on an absolutely beautiful piece of property in Turtle Valley. All ages

qualify and mobility is not a factor.

Join members of the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge Society as they work to build a new home for the donkeys!

For more info, phone 250-679-2778, email donkeyrefuge@ gmail.com, or visit www.turtlevalleydonkeyrefuge.com.

Papain is present in the latex obtained from the raw papaya fruit. (Ripe papaya also has health benefits that I have discussed in the past.)

This latex is dried and after processing sold as a powder. Its usage is seen in various areas such as medicine, cosmetics, sewage disposal, and leather cleaning.

Papain is a common ingredient in various preparations of digestive enzyme supplements that are available in health food stores. It is proteolytic, which means it helps in the breaking down and digestion of protein, which is good for those on a high protein diet. This enzyme is useful in dyspepsia and other digestive disorders. It is also

sold as a meat tenderizer in supermarkets. A paste made with papain and water is used to treat bites from wasps and jellyfish. In fact, this ingredient is present in creams such as Stop Itch.

Papain is also used in the cosmetic industry because of its properties of removing dead tissue by face scrubs, creams and shampoos. It also helps in the whitening of the skin. This ingredient is present in some toothpastes, and with long term use can help in whitening teeth. It is also used in the preparation that treats warts and ringworm. It is an active ingredient in enzyme cleaners for soft contact lenses. It also exhibits pain relieving properties, and is used

for injections into herniated inter vertebral lumbar discs to relieve the pain caused by pressure on the nerves.

Moreover, the chemicals in papain may promote the release of natural chemicals that attack cancer cells. These potential effects may make papain-containing preparations useful as a supplement to cancer therapy.

In fact, some drugs containing this ingredient are being tested to be used in the treatment of certain types of cancer. In another small study of individuals with Herpes zoster, an oral papain product was as effective as a prescription antiviral medication in resolving pain, but not redness. Proteolytic enzymes have also been associated with anti-inflammatory properties and may help in rheumatoid arthritis and improve the healing of injuries.

Papain can cause allergic reaction, particularly if one is allergic to papaya or other tropical fruits. Raw papaya can cause local irritation in the gastrointestinal tract. It can cause miscarriage so it is not recommended for pregnant women.

Use of this enzyme should be used only after consultation with a health care provider.

Outdoor play

As a child growing up in a small town, I was fortunate enough to spend as much time as possible playing outside exploring our neighborhood. I have fond memories of house rules that said it was time to get home when the street lights turned on!

Other than that, we were free to run and jump and explore our surroundings with the other kids in the neighborhood. Without all of the distractions of today’s smart phones, tablets, and gaming consoles, we were actually allowed to get “bored’;” and when this happened, our parents left it up to our own imagination to find things to do outside for entertainment. While I can’t say we were little angels every day, we were learning right from wrong in so many ways.

While technology is amazing, it does not come without costs. Frequently these are at the expense of children’s health from so many more hours spent vegetating in front of computers, TV’s and handheld devices. In my chiropractic office I am seeing significant postural and spinal problems in kids today compared to a decade ago. This is the result of endless hours spent with their necks flexed forward, slouched on a couch in order to text or play a game on these hand-held devices.

It is so important to get kids outside to play, as it actively shapes brain development and is extremely important for them to learn proper decision-making skills. Being encouraged to not lick the frozen monkey bars is never quite as effective as testing the theory yourself. I can personally attest to that one! Running the hose to make their own river in the mud is, shockingly, something some kids may never get to experience. All of these simple acts of creative play allow children to appreciate the wild environment around them–an appreciation that creates individuals who are much more ecologically considerate as adults.

If your family has allowed electronics to integrate into all aspects of your children’s lives, then you may have some extra challenges getting them completely away from their devices. Installing time-delay locks on the house to lock the kids outside may not be socially acceptable, so try combining technology with outside play.

Demonstrating to your kids how to photograph the bugs and plants in the yard will allow them use of the device while at the same time encouraging movement and play. As they explore their surroundings, you may even find the most addicted kids will start transitioning away from the game “Angry Birds” to actually looking for a real bird’s nest. Instead of being “desensitized” to their surroundings, they can learn to appreciate the smells, sounds, and feel of nature instead of experiencing it via a computer screen.

As the amount of physical activity continually declines in average Canadian children, it is also even more important to have their spines checked by a chiropractor. Postural stresses from handheld device usage is a new epidemic. Starting your kids on a series of postural-corrective adjustments, and increasing their activity level though play outside, will benefit them in so many ways. If these incorrect postural stresses are left unchecked and uncorrected, they will suffer as adults with an assortment of health problems.

If you need help improving your family’s lifestyle, Dr. Warren Gage may be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 8030224.

PSYCHOLOGIST RECOMMENDED WRITING Ed Brown, whose parents Mike and Heather live in Salmon Arm, was suffering from PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder, after retiring from the military. He served in all three divisions: army, navy and air force and tours took him to four war-torn countries. He ended his 20-year service in Victoria and retired there on December 2011 at age 41. He suffered from depression and PTSD. His psychologist recommended he put his experiences in writing and he chose poetry. Now, three years later, he is greatly improved emotionally. His poems were published in a book that his parents are selling for $15. 250-832-8188.

Digital copies are available through Amazon.com BLIND BAY HISTORY BOOK GRABBED Two weeks ago I wrote that in my downsizing I was selling five books about local history. One was In Those Days, the Reedman family story by Isabelle Reedman.

The book is out of print. Betty Schriver bought it right away and will take it to the Blind Bay Painters group to help in preparation for the Centennial Celebrations in Blind Bay. Betty and Dan Schriver both retired last year and moved from Edmonton to the Shuswap in October of 2013. They had holidayed on the Shuswap nearly every year for 25 years, and knew this was the place for them.

They bought a home just above Reedman Point, on Eagle Bay Road, and now with this book they can learn its history.

POST OFFICE, SCHOOL ESTABLISHED 100 YEARS AGO Blind Bay will celebrate the 100th anniversary of its first post office and first school on July 18 and 19, 2014.

The first school was located just below where the present day Blind Bay hall now stands. There will be many activities happening at the three community halls in Blind Bay: the hall on 2510 Blind Bay Rd, at Shuswap Lake Estates and Cedar Heights, as well as at Notch Hill.

The Blind Bay hall will host an Old-Fashioned Tea on Friday, July 18 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. The next day there will be a vintage car show from 10 to 4, a BBQ from 11 to 5, and beer garden from 12 to 5. The Blind Bay Painters’ Show, also at the Blind Bay Hall, will be on both days Friday, July 18 from 10 to 4 and Saturday, July 19 from 10 to 5 p.m.

PRITCHARD SENIOR SEEKS HISTORY BOOKS “When the kids cleaned my place they threw out all my books,” said a senior who called me from a seniors’ residence in Salmon Arm when she read that I was selling history books of the area that I had collected long ago.

She grew up in the Pritchard area and seeks these two books: Pursuit of Memories, Pritchard and Pinatan; and Meeting of the Winds, Falkland’s history. Call me at 250832-4831.

SENIOR NEWSPAPER SOLD, SEEKS NEW NAME The Senior Connector in Kamloops, now in its 20th year, has a new owner. It was bought a few months ago

by Oncore Central Services, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of seniors, along with an arrangement with Thompson Rivers University.

Journalism students spend time getting hands-on experience in the paper’s newsroom. The Senior Connector is looking for a new name because its readership is getting younger. Although the majority of its readers are seniors, the editor says there are many seniors who do not consider themselves to be seniors.

LONG-TIME EMPLOYEES WORK WITH FAST-FOOD Lois Lund will have a 33-year anniversary in August of working at McDonalds. She started when all the crew went to McDonalds in Vernon to train before opening the Salmon Arm restaurant on the long week-end in September, 1981. She worked her way up to be manager, and after eight years in that position, chose to be assistant manager. She met lots of kids, and now their kids are coming to work there.

Tracy Schwandt has a 22-year anniversary at KFC this month. In June, 1992 she pushed her son in a stroller into Kentucky Fried Chicken and applied to work. She started working full-time the next day.

Kathie Edge has worked at Tim Hortons downtown for 16 years. She started on the counter and worked her way up to be supervisor, then assistant manager and now manager.

Liz Henton is manager of Wendy’s. She started 15 years ago when it opened in 1999.

Cindy Kiefiuk has been at Tim Hortons on the hill for 11 ½ years. She started two years after it opened in 2000, and worked her way up to be manager.

FUNDRAISING AT WALMART BRINGS MEGABUCKS Walmart store manager Lorrie Blackmore is very pleased to announce that the Salmon Arm store raised $7,500 for the BC Children’s hospital. Staff sold balloons at cash registers, they held three BBQs and a car wash.

Lorrie adds,“I’d like to thank all of our customers and associates for making this happen!”

Letters to the Editor

Retired teacher pans BCTF for poor leadership

I wish to commend the BC Teachers Federation for their great concern and kindness to the students of BC. After all, it is already summer! And what student in their right mind would choose to be in a classroom at this time of year? Much better to be on the playground or at the lake. And for high school students, they get an early jump on the jobs that are opening up in the agriculture and fast-

food sector as the tourist season heats up.

Secondly, they are to be commended for their generous consideration of the parents of their students. Now they don’t have to fight with the kids to get them off to school.

And they are especially considerate of those parents who choose home schooling or one of the private Christian schools. What a splendid endorsement of those parents’

decision. And here we thought the BCTF were opposed to the idea of private schools and/or home schooling.

Way to go, BCTF leadership. You should be in line for the BC badge of merit for such splendid leadership! I just feel badly that I never thought of such generosity during my teaching career in Alberta!

Don’t cry over spilled root beer

This past Sunday, Father’s Day was celebrated at our church by giving all the Dads a “Dad’s Root Beer.” The bottles of root beer were up at the front, and at one point in the church service, kids went up to the front to get a bottle for their dad.

My youngest, Nate, was pretty pumped up about running to the front and getting my treat.

“I want to go get Dad his beer!” he exclaimed loudly. My wife calmed him down and told him to wait until the pastor said it was time, and also reminded him that it was in fact a root beer.

When it was time, he enthusiastically rushed up to the stage along with many other kids. As he ran back down the aisle towards where we were sitting, he was grinning from ear to ear and eventually handed me my root beer.

“Happy Father’s Day” he said proudly.

I thanked him and gave him a hug.

“How do you open up this pop, Dad?” he asked.

“Like this,” I answered as I began to twist the cap off the bottle.

At that point, the root beer proceeded to explode all over my shorts, shirt and chair.

“Wow, how come it did that?” Nate questioned.

“Umm...are you sure you didn’t shake it up?” I asked.

“No, I just grabbed it and ran back to you with it,” he answered.

Though my initial thought was to overreact I just calmly took a deep breath and smiled.

“Sorry, Dad” Nate said sheepishly.

“No problem. It’s just a little root beer. It’s no big deal.” I assured him.

Of course that was the day I wore white shorts, so the brown liquid stain seemed to stand out that much more. However, after a few minutes of washing up in the bathroom I went back to my seat and savoured what was left of my Father’s Day treat.

As I was drinking the last of it I thought to myself how good it tasted. I am not a big fan of pop, so it wasn’t the sugar high that was making me smile. It was the thought of my little guy being so excited to get me a treat that he turned a regular bottle of root beer into an explosive mess.

I guess being soaked in sugary syrup once in a while is a small price to pay for knowing you are loved!

Relay for Life

This year’s Relay for Life was held last weekend at Elks Park in Salmon Arm. Despite torrential rains, the turnout of survivors and supporters was impressive, and at press time, a total of $110,738 had been raised.

The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is Canada’s biggest cancer fundraiser. It also gives participants and their com-

munity the opportunity to celebrate cancer survivors, remember and honour loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back for a future without cancer.

Funds raised help the Canadian Cancer Society save lives by investing in cancer research, offering cancer support services, and leading prevention initiatives. Photo contributed.

Only interested in themselves

It is most unfortunate the majority of the teachers in B.C. are such militant workers. They say it is for the good of the students but that is a bunch of B.S. They are only interested in themselves. They work about two-thirds of the year as opposed to the average worker in BC, having a week or two off in March, a week or two at Christmas and two months in the summer and they think they are underpaid. Well, they ought to open their eyes and take a close look at the other side. These people know, or should know, the parameters of a vocation before they decide on their future like anyone else who decides on a career.

The worst thing that ever happened was to give teachers the right to strike. It is an essential

service to our children and teachers should assume more responsibility toward them and parents. Fortunately, I am retired and don’t have grandchildren in school, but if I was a parent and my child was supposed to graduate this year and because of the teachers’ position, I would sue them if my child was jeopardized. We had no problem with class sizes and everyone seemed to learn and receive the education we needed to continue our careers.

Sapori Olive Oils & Vinegars There’s a new specialty shop at 122 Lakeshore Drive NE: Sapori Olive Oils & Vinegars.

Donna Harms (right) opened this second location (there is one in Armstrong) because she had so many customers from the Shuswap.

They have over 60 varieties of olive oil from all over the globe. “Just like there are different species of apples– apples from Osoyoos are different from apples in the Okanagan, oils are much the same. They do have different tastes and qualities. We have oils from France, Italy, Greece, Argentina and Spain. They’re all natural and have no sulphates or additives. They’re incredibly fresh,” says Donna.

The oil comes in bulk and is bottled and labeled in Armstrong.

There are also over 40 flavours of balsamic vinegar. The grapes used for all these vinegars are from Italy, and the aging process takes over a decade.

“It goes through a process: It begins in oak kegs and then goes into kegs made of chestnut, cherry wood, ash, mulberry and juniper. In the end there’s a sweetness in them; they’re thick like syrup but there’s nothing added. I’ve heard people say it’s like there’s a party going on their mouths.”

The products are versatile and can be used in salads, marinades, stir-fries, soups, sauces, baking, grilling, and even as dessert toppings.

“I don’t use icing any more, I use balsamic vinegar. And it is great with ice cream.”

Donna has lived in Armstrong for the past 30 years where she raised four boys (and now has two grandsons).

She has been an entrepreneur ‘forever’ with an interesting array of businesses. For the past 20 years she has been teaching accounting at Okanagan College and is certified to teach Simply Accounting. Donna has also certification in alternative healing.

The inspiration for the name Sapori came from a few blocks down the road, AnDiamo Ristorante Italiano on Ross Street.

“I came up with a bunch of things that I wanted to say about the products and Carlos came up with a word that fits it all. It means ‘flavour’ in Italian.”

Sapori is open 9-5 Monday through Saturday. Customers are encouraged to sample any of the products before they buy, and people can book private tastings from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Erika Allwood is managing the Salmon Arm location and Linda Hallam will be there part-time. To contact them call 250-833-9997.

Heritage Chop House When Dave Courtney (left, with Bette) was 16 years old he got a job in the kitchen at Hy’s Steak House in Duncan.

“The chef there said, ‘Dave you’re pretty good at this...40 years later I’m still doing it.”

Dave and his wife, Bette, recently opened up Heritage Chop House in the former Minos at 720-22 St. NE. It’s kid-friendly and they pride themselves in their farm-to-table policy.

“Everything is from Canada except the lamb, which is

from New Zealand. We have to support Canada and we try to source everything from the Okanagan,” says Dave.

Their idea for the restaurant is giving the customer an impressive choice of ‘sides’: “Our concept was to do a steakhouse restaurant where the customers get to choose their sauces and accompaniments. They can come in and have chicken with any kind of sauce and side and come in again and have the same chicken with a different sauce.

There are five different sauces and seven different accompaniments.”

This is definitely a meat-lover’s paradise as you can have anything from pulled pork, to steak done to perfection, to the ultimate meatloaf.

Dave went to BCIT and did his apprenticeship with Delta Hotels. He was with that company for 10 years and eventually became the executive chef of Delta Lakeside Resort. His career took him and Bette to various locations around BC and Alberta.

They owned food services in a Sheraton Hotel in Calgary, then they co-owned the Sonoma Market Cafe located in Calgary’s +15, a skyway network that connects the entire downtown core.

They maintained their award-winning status for their restaurant (Trail’s End) in Trail for 5 years and then moved back to Calgary where Dave worked as corporate chef at the Miller Group Pub. Dave and Bette have two sons, Justin, a corporate chef in Calgary; and Michael, who works at Arpi’s Industries.

Their boys also play in a band together. [Dave also sings and plays the guitar but says he won’t be doing that in the restaurant - he’s strictly the chef].

When they get some rare time off Dave likes to golf, ski and fish, and Bette likes no-fuss crafts. They both like going to movies and camping.

In the short time they’ve been in Salmon Arm they have been impressed at the friendliness and kindness they have encountered. Their staff members (along with friends and family of staff) have helped with everything from painting inside to planting flowers in the garden and mowing the lawn.

“The generosity in Salmon Arm blows me away,” says Dave.

As for future plans, Dave says he would like to open another restaurant in town featuring a simple menu, pop, fries and gourmet hamburgers.

To contact Heritage Chop House call 778-489-1924.

High Mountain Farm High Mountain Farm has been around since 2010 but their haskap berries are starting to gain a lot of attention. Doris and Axel Hvidberg (pronounced Highburg), right, planted their first berries in May of 2011 and the native Russian/Japanese berries are taking very well to the climate.The haskap bush is a variety of blue honeysuckle created over years of cross-pollination research at the University of Saskatchewan.

“Coming from Siberia, it is extremely hardy. It can withstand winter temperatures of -47 degrees Celsius and it’s open flowers can endure -7 degrees. It really likes the cold weather; it can’t grow south of here. We can have a late frost and it won’t bother them,” says Axel.

He explains that Dr. Bob Bors of the University of Saskatchewan has been leading research into breeding and selecting cold hardy plants from Russia, Japan, and Canada to come up with fruit that will do well in Canada’s climate.

“Haskap is unlike any other fruit you’ve ever tried. The nutritional value is off the charts. They are most often compared with blueberries, but without the seeds.

Anywhere you use a blueberry you can use haskap. If you use them to make jam you don’t use pectin and half the

sugar. It’s loaded with flavour, vitamin C, and bioflavonoids.”

The berries are hand-picked, and this year they’re expecting a harvest of 2500 lbs. Some of this year’s crop will be made into British Columbia’s first Haskap liqueur thanks to Vernon’s Okanagan Spirits distillery in Vernon.

Besides the berries, Axel and Doris sell bedding out plants, vegetable plants, hanging baskets, and some perennials.

Before they got into the farm business, they both had a variety of jobs. Doris was a commercial pilot, and Axel is still involved in installing security film that is explosion, theft and bullet resistant.

“We’ve sold security film to airports, government agencies, military bases in Germany, the US military and we’ve sold the largest mirrors in the world to Disney Japan.”

Axel has also done voice-over work and worked as a DJ at special events at the Calgary Stampede.

They moved to Salmon Arm in 2006 looking to get away from the city life.

“We wanted to relocate to a nicer climate and get out of the bustle of Calgary. We picked Salmon Arm - it’s a great town,” says Doris.

Besides seasonal help, they have Jean Hutchinson as green house manager and Devon Lockwood as field production manager.

To contact High Mountain Farm call 250-832-0920 or 250-803-8203, or email highmtfarm@gmail.com.

New Yoga School Namaste Yoga and Wellness Centre will be celebrating their seventh anniversary this fall, and will be the first to open a Yoga School (Namaste School of Yoga) and offer Yoga teacher training this fall.

Vital Signs community survey Vital Signs is a report card prepared by community foundations across Canada which aims to measure the vitality of a region. The Vital Signs report, to be released October 2014, will present data and perceptions on 10 key issue areas of our community life – areas that are critical to our region’s quality of life and well-being.

While the research component of Vital Signs is the hallmark of its success, a key part of this project also involves surveying members of our community to gather opinions about the region in which we live, work, learn and play.

This is your invitation to share your views as a Vital Signs Grader for the report.

The survey: Please complete the survey by assigning a letter grade to each of the 10 issue areas. Once you have assigned a grade, we want your opinion on your top priorities for action. “Tell us how you think the Shuswap Region is doing!”

The grading: As you go through the survey you will notice that the key issues we are asking you to grade are very broad, so we have provided some examples of each issue to consider. Within a given area, there will be some things that are going very well while others are going poorly. Assign a grade based on your opinion of the OVERALL performance of that particular area.

The marks: Choose a grade using the following 5-point scale: A - Awesome! Our community’s the tops; B - We’re doing okay and headed in the right direction; C - Progress is being made; D - Of concern and needs attention; F - In dire need of corrective action.

Your views count! Remember, this is not a test of your knowledge, only your experience in living in the community – we are interested solely in your opinions and perceptions about how the Shuswap region is performing. We are looking to see how opinions and perceptions line up with the scientific data.

You’re ready to begin. You can do the survey either on the printed page, and submit it to the offices of Lakeshore News or Shuswap Community Foundation, or else go online to www. shuswapfoundation.ca under ‘What’s New’ and follow the links from there.

Music in Malakwa Jazz Club season ends

The community of Malakwa suffered a devastating blow last fall when they were told that the community hall was no longer safe to use due to structural damage from the leaking roof.

On the good side, this has brought many new members who are volunteering to rectify this problem. Whether they can repair the hall or will be required to rebuild is not yet known, but either way it will be a costly undertaking.

In light of this financial need, the Malakwa Community Centre Association is reviving the Music in the Park event. It had been a successful fundraiser for nine years, but now has been absent for the last three years due to lack of volunteers. The event will take place Saturday, August 23 in the Malakwa ball park. There will be a different band playing every hour, as well as kids’ games and prizes, pony rides, bouncy castle, concession, and more.

Visit www.malakwa.ca or phone Audrey or Sandy for more info at 250-836-2108 or 250836-3761.

Fifty years ago the old Blind Bay School House–the community hall of the day–was the venue for the first show and sale of the Blind Bay Painters. Today’s thriving group of 45 active members, who meet weekly from October to June, started with a few women artists meeting in each other’s homes in the early 1960’s. The painters invite you to come and celebrate with them this 50th anniversary presentation of their latest work. The theme of this year’s show is “Life in the Shuswap,” and each artist was encouraged to do one painting that would depict that. The painters also gave themselves a challenge of all painting from the same photo of an

old Eagle Bay log house. Come and enjoy the different interpretations of this challenge, as well as various interpretations of Shuswap life.

This year, as for many years now, Blind Bay Hall, 2510 Blind Bay Road, is the venue for their show and sale. It will be open on Saturday, June 28th from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Sunday, June 29th from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The main show and sale will be in the new Reedman Gallery downstairs in the hall; while upstairs will feature both paintings and boutique items made by the members. As always, admission is by donation and there will be complimentary refreshments.

Why it pays to graduate?

Graduation ceremonies and other events that mark the end of a school year are rife with tradition. Students know it is important to receive their diplomas but may not have a full understanding of why that piece of paper can help open so many doors.

Diplomas date back to some of the earliest schools, but were also conferred upon land owners in ancient times by kings and other authority figures. Some military personnel were also given diplomas to signal land grants that were not subject to taxes. Nowadays diplomas take on a different meaning and vary depending on where one lives in the world.

Graduates who complete a specific course of study are issued diplomas. Diplomas were once written on Italian sheepskin. Although "diploma" translates to "folded papers," paper was not always an economically viable medium for diplomas. In fact, animal skins were used as recently as the 1950s.

Receiving a degree or diploma can be a point of pride in families where older members may not have had the same educational opportunities as younger members.

Many people move to North America for the educational opportunities, and a diploma can symbolize taking advantage of those opportunities.

According to the organization Do Something, roughly 20 percent of first-time college students come from parents who have a high school diploma or less. The United States Department of Education says high school graduation rates have increased since the 2006-2007 school year. Around 80 percent of student who enter high school now earn a regular or advanced diploma.

Dropout rates are on the decline, and a growing number of high school students continue on to two- or four-year degrees.

In Canada, numbers are quite similar. Canada is second only to the United States in the high school completion rate of its working-age population. Statistics Canada says that enrollment in Canadian universities continues to increase. Enrollments are now approximately 5 percent larger than they were just a few years ago.

Community colleges are benefitting from this influx of students. Various statistics from the 2010-2011 year point to more than eight million American students enrolled in community colleges at that time. Community colleges enable students to take core curriculum credits at a less expensive institution and then move on to a four-year school later on to expand on their coursework.

This presents a viable option to students who are looking to keep education costs manageable.

The reason so many students continue to apply themselves and come out after four or more years with diplomas and degrees is that they realize how competitive the job market can be. Graduates have a distinct advantage over other candidates. Some companies will not even consider a job candidate who does not possess some college education. Other employers pay more depending on the level of education the job candidates completed. According to the United States Department of Labor, employees with a bachelor's degree earn about 54 percent more on average than those who attended college but didn't finish. Workers with advanced degrees (master's, doctoral, etc.) can average $20,000 to $30,000 more per year than those with bachelor's degrees, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Some students, however, will insist that failure to have a diploma isn't a barrier to success. For example, Richard Branson, the billionaire entrepreneur who owns Virgin Group, did not graduate high school. But such people are an aberration. Typically, earning a high school diploma and a bachelor's degree is a key ingredient to landing a good job and enjoying professional success.

CAPRICORN

Career issues must be dealt with, Capricorn. You may have been running through various options, and if you have reached a decision, then go with your gut instincts.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, although everyone around you seems to be stressing out, for some reason you are able to breeze through your days without a worry in the world.

PISCES

Your intuition is telling you to proceed with caution, Pisces. Watch where you step, but don’t let caution take over your life.

ARIES

People seem to be going out of their way to be nice to you, Aries. While you may suspect they have ulterior motives, their kindness really is nothing more than good will.

TAURUS

PUZZLE NO. SU146290

Taurus, approach your workload with an optimistic attitude this week. You can expect your efforts to produce positive results that don’t go unnoticed.

GEMINI

It is an uphill battle to focus on chores this week, Gemini. You would rather be out having fun, but putting off chores now will only lead to more work down the road.

CANCER

Cancer, although you are capable of keeping up appearances this week, you will be lost in your own thoughts. Personal issues prove to be a distraction.

LEO

Leo, serve as a diplomat this week, placing yourself in the middle of conflict because you want to help. Keep a level head and don’t get swept into the argument.

VIRGO

Virgo, your ability to focus is very strong, but this week you cannot seem to get your mind to cooperate. You may have a million things to think about.

You are tempted to join the party this week, even though you know it is probably a better idea to decline. But the prospect of socializing and having a good time is too tempting.

HOW TO PLAY: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. SU146290 number can appear only once in each row, column and box.

You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Scorpio, you often feel uncomfortable when you have too many loose ends. It may take quite a while this week to wrap up all of your obligations before you can relax.

Wally was an amiable kind of dude, and it was his third annual pig roast. The crowd had gathered early, as buddy Mike and I laid on some good ol’ Willy and Wallen Gennings country stompin’ music with our guitars. There was enough salad fixin’s and potluck to feed an army.

As dinner approached, out came the well-done little porker. Folks grabbed their plates as Wally began to carve. But this time it was different. I liked Wally, but there’s a thin line between friendship and duty. A quick call to the CO in Clinton confirmed that there had been two deer poached in the Marble Canyon area, and Wally was a suspect. A lot of folks at the hoot didn’t know the difference.

A couple of days later, Wally was charged with poaching. The assortment of food brought to that shindig of Wally’s was marvellous.

Honey Chicken: 4 chicken breasts, 1 cup ketchup, ¾ cup vinegar, ¾ cup brown sugar, ½ cup liquid honey, ½ cup soy sauce. Mix up sauce and marinate chicken for about 1 hour. Cover and bake chicken at 350ºF for 30-40 minutes, then uncover chicken and bake for another 20 minutes. Serve with a nice rice dish.

Barbequed chicken wings: 12 wings, ½ cup honey or maple syrup, ½ cup ketchup, ½ cup BBQ sauce, 4 tbsp soy sauce. Preheat oven to 250ºF. Place wings on cookie sheet and broil lightly each side. Now place wings in baking dish and bake for 1 hour covered in sauce. Baked beans are always a favourite dish, of course. With lots of rhubarb around at present, here’s a real treat – rhubarb cake: ½ cup shortening, 1 cup white sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 2 cups flour, 1 tsp soda, pinch of salt, 1 cup sour milk, 2 cups finely-chopped rhubarb.

Topping: ½ cup brown sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon. Set oven at 350ºF. Cream together shortening and both

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley sugars. Add eggs and beat smooth. Add sifted dry ingredients and sour milk, followed by rhubarb.

Mix and sprinkle topping on cake. Bake for 40 minutes or until done. Some folks brought their own spirits. Everyone laughed and joked and sang louder after my concoction of “Slush!” – easy to make and a real pleaser! Boil 2 1/2 cups sugar in 8 cups water. Let cool. Add one 26 oz bottle of vodka, 1 cup frozen orange juice, and 24 ounces pineapple juice. Stir, then place in an ice cream pail and place in freezer. Serve up later with a couple scoops in tall glasses with 7-Up or ginger ale!

Another summer cooler idea is a large bottle of medium red wine, and 7-Up on ice. The famous “Grizzly Bear,” drink we served when we owned Postill Lake Lodge was as follows: 2 1/2 ounces rye, 2 1/2 ounces Meagher’s Apricot Brandy in 2 qt sealer filled with crushed ice. Guaranteed to knock your socks off! Top it all off with corn bread fixins: 2 cups sour milk or buttermilk, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp soda, 3 tbsp sugar, 2 eggs (unbeaten), 1 cup flour, 1 heapin’ tsp baking powder, 1 ½ cups cornmeal, ½ cup shortening. Mix milk, salt, soda, sugar, and eggs together. Blend in flour, baking powder, and cornmeal. Mix buttermilk with dry ingredients.

Bake in greased pan at 400ºF for 20-25 minutes.

This is an old standby recipe from the 1900’s.

Gone salmon and halibut angling to Zeballos for a week. Chinook are in and the halibut are a’ bitin’!

CAPRICORN

Career issues must be dealt with, Capricorn. You may have been running through various options, and if you have reached a decision, then go with your gut instincts.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, although everyone around you seems to be stressing out, for some reason you are able to breeze through your days without a worry in the world.

PISCES

Your intuition is telling you to proceed with caution, Pisces. Watch where you step, but don’t let caution take over your life.

ARIES

People seem to be going out of their way to be nice to you, Aries. While you may suspect they have ulterior motives, their kindness really is nothing more than good will.

TAURUS

PUZZLE NO. SU146290

Taurus, approach your workload with an optimistic attitude this week. You can expect your efforts to produce positive results that don’t go unnoticed.

GEMINI

It is an uphill battle to focus on chores this week, Gemini. You would rather be out having fun, but putting off chores now will only lead to more work down the road.

CANCER

Cancer, although you are capable of keeping up appearances this week, you will be lost in your own thoughts. Personal issues prove to be a distraction.

LEO

Leo, serve as a diplomat this week, placing yourself in the middle of conflict because you want to help. Keep a level head and don’t get swept into the argument.

VIRGO

Virgo, your ability to focus is very strong, but this week you cannot seem to get your mind to cooperate. You may have a million things to think about.

You are tempted to join the party this week, even though you know it is probably a better idea to decline. But the prospect of socializing and having a good time is too tempting.

HOW TO PLAY: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. SU146290 number can appear only once in each row, column and box.

You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

SCORPIO

What’s Where When

Scorpio, you often feel uncomfortable when you have too many loose ends. It may take quite a while this week to wrap up all of your obligations before you can relax.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius, the more you ponder the decisions you have to make, the more you struggle to determine a positive outcome. Give yourself some breathing room.

Maggie went on, with great success, to qualify for the Provincial Championships where she took home an armload of gold medals in her category.

Then, a little over a month ago, she was selected for Team BC to attend the PARA West Camp in Richmond. The camp was this past weekend, and it was an amazing experience for the teen and her coach, Jana Montgomery. In addition to training and being pushed in new ways in the pool, the athletes

selected from around BC participated in seminars on sport nutrition, goal setting, and learning to be more independent.

They also became good friends with other swimmers who have faced similar challenges to them.

“My goal is to make the Canadian Paralympic Team in the future,” says Maggie. She would be thrilled to compete at either or both the Rio de Janeiro games in 2016 and the Tokyo games in 2020.

There is a lot of work to do to get Salmon Arm’s bright star to that international level, but her coaches and the para-swimming community are confident she can do it. She has the support of her team and her family. She will need the whole community behind her to make it happen. As the old adage goes, “It takes a whole village...”

The next big event for Maggie is Long Course Provincial Championships in Victoria in July.

Maggie is working hard to shave off some time; a fraction of a second in a couple of events is all she needs in order to earn a national qualifying time standard. Go, Maggie!

SPORTS & LEISURE Mixed doubles event a success Great day for a run

by Marianne VanBuskirk The Salmon Arm Tennis Club hosted the 2014 Mixed Doubles Tournament this past Saturday and Sunday. Although we were able to finish the tournament, the rain delays on Saturday were long so we modified the matches to quickly finish up early on Sunday. In total, 26 matches were played.

The tournament organizer was Doug Rawson and, despite the weather, he was pleased with the event. In all, there were 13 teams entered into the tournament (five in the C division, five in the B division and three in the A division.) The winners in each division received prizes donated by Centre Court Racquets in Victoria.

The first place winners were as follows: Division A - Dee Dee and Malcolm Shattock (pictured at left); Division B - Cathy Sosnowsky & Detlef Doose; and Division C Diana Inselberg & David Askew.

Soccer victory

by Andi King The Shuswap Sharp Shooters U11 development team had two fantastic games on Sunday in Kamloops against Kelowna Red and Vernon 2.

In the first game of the day featuring the league’s two top teams, Kelowna surprised Shuswap by scoring in the first two minutes of the match.

Shuswap responded five minutes later with a goal of their own when Jordan King made a crafty run down the wing and sent a bullet in the back of the net off a tough angle. Phoebe Barnes and Lys Milne continued to put on pressure and had several great chances on goal. Julia Hart and Braidy Parkes were stellar in goal and each made several great saves. Shuswap’s defenders, Laura Hall, Janae Bocking, Holly McKaskill and Brooklyn Davidson were able to fend off Kelowna’s attack. The final score was 1-1. In the second game of the day, Shuswap put themselves on the board 15 minutes in when King, off a pass from Milne, was able to beat her defender and calmly slot the ball in the back of the net.

Shuswap dominated the play for most of the match and played a very nice passing game.

Sophia Ruckle and Gabriella Torrie were tireless up front and continued to pressure Vernon’s defence. In the second half, Alana O’Dell turned on the engines and managed to score two brilliant goals by powering her way through Vernon’s defense making the final score 3-0 for Shuswap.

Peter Parashyniak Peter Parashyniak of Sicamous, BC was granted his wings on June 7, 2014 when he peacefully passed away at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm, BC at the age of 88 years.

Pete was born on June 18, 1925 in Melville, Saskatchewan.

Pete was enlisted in the Canadian Army on May 17, 1944 where he served as a Private and discharged on July 22, 1946. He started his career in the Mines as a Manager for Port Radium at Great Bear Lake, NWT. Just as Port Radium was closing, Lupin was opening. Pete transferred over with a dear friend and colleague to start up the Echo Bay Mines as a Mill Superintendent till 1980. Pete loved fishing and would tell his stories of the fish he caught in Great Bear Lake. Pete retired from Echo Bay Mines in May 1991 after 20 years of dedicated service. Pete was drawn to Sicamous because of a wonderful opportunity to create his dream home by the Lake - which is what he did and showed it off with pride.

Pete is survived by his loving and devoted companion of 11 years, his Bichon, Toby who misses him dearly, his sisterin-law, Edna; along with numerous family and friends.

Pete is predeceased by his mother, father, 2 brothers, and a nephew.

When Pete touched your heart he left an imprint on your soul! He will be missed by all who knew him.

A big thank you to the staff at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital along with Fischer’s Funeral Services.

Jikke (Jean Siebenga) March 27, 1923 – June 11, 2014 A time of faith.

Jean, born and raised in Holland, started life with a praying mother, who although dying shortly after childbirth, prayed for her infant daughter’s protection in life … and God listened.

Struggling through the war and wanting a new life and adventure, Jean and her husband Bill (Wietze) came to Canada in 1951, worked hard, bought and sold farms and raised two boys, Barry and David.

God did not forget his word and in 1969, He intervened to awake Jean’s husband on June 9, 1969 who when saying “Lord speak, I am listening” heard back to say “In the name of Jesus go out” and that day all the anger, fear and weariness in their life and family left instantly.

Since then, miracles abounded and her life was full of love, adventure and joy again. In 1996, her Bill went home to visit Jesus and now Jean is catching up to reunite with him but also that oh so special mother of hers, who 3 days after Jean was born, prayed up a storm that carried though all of Jean’s life.

Jean would say “Through my whole life’s journey, through war, immigration and hard work, I always had a loving marriage, a true partner in life with my husband Wietze, where we shared our home and business in a good way of life … but I tell you, that after the fullness of the Lord came in our life and home there was such a big change and I will be ever thankful to the Lord in life and eternity for His miraculous salvation.”

Every incident in life made me always know the Lord was real!!

What is there left to say? Her family left on this shore now knows that our mother is on the most fantastic adventure of her life, enjoy the vigor’s of life fullness and love of the people who love her and Jesus, her saviour who loves her most of all!!

Left behind to celebrate her life are sons, Barry (Cathy) and David (Shara); grandchildren, Barry, Ryan, Jason, Alisha, Devon, Aaron and seven wonderful great grandchildren. Also, Maxine Dale, who mom called her other daughter, and Barbara Demeter who was a close and faithful friend and visitor.

Internment and Celebration of Jean’s life will be this Sunday, June 22 at Mt. Ida Cemetery at 3:00 pm at Five Corners Pentecostal Church with Pastor Ken Finstad officiating.

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

Rudy Buff January 4, 1925 – June 6, 2014

We regret to announce the passing of Rudy Buff Sr. on June 6, 2014 at the age of 89 years. He was pre-deceased by his wife Phyllis, son John, daughter Shirley, parents Henry & Clara, brothers Peter, Kurt and Herbie. He is survived by his sister Elfie Mobbs, daughter Christine (John) Danks, son Rudy (Laverne) Buff, daughter-in-law Susan Buff, 8 grandchildren, Christopher, Michael, Kiley, Tyler, Stacey, Ryan, Karin and Jonathan; 6 great grandchildren, Kaden, Amya, Jake, Kaylee, Emry and Amelia. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews.

Rudy was born in Switzerland, January 4, 1925 and arrived in Canada in 1935. He was a member of the RCA in WWII at which time he met and married wife Phyllis Lloyd in England April 10, 1946. They returned to Wonnack, BC where they started their family and later moved to Westwold where Rudy worked in the family business, Buff Lumber Co., until it was destroyed by fire in 1979. Rudy and Phyllis moved the family to Kamloops in 1966; he later moved to Vernon. In 2002 he moved to Salmon Arm to his daughter Christine’s home. Rudy was an active member of The Swiss Society and The Royal Canadian Legion. He enjoyed gardening, woodworking and walking. He always looked forward to spending time with family and friends, whether it was sharing a glass of his homemade wine, a meal at the family table or rooting for one of his favourite sports teams.

He will be missed by us all. The family would like to thank Dr. Keith Hepburn and the staff at Mt. Ida Mews Care Home for the excellent care and support provided over the last 1-½ yrs.
