An abundance of locally grown, in season fruits and vegetables are available at the Shuswap Farm and Craft Market in Salmon Arm. Some of the delicious produce includes strawberries, cherries, peas, garlic, lettuce, salad greens, new potatoes, beets, turnips, cucumbers and tomatoes. There are vendors with baking, including gluten-free baking, jams and jellies and local honey. Gardeners can pick up a variety of plants.

Crafters offer quality handmade crafts, jewelry, soap and beauty products. You can even pick up treats for your pets and take home some fresh-cut flowers. Shopping at the farmers’ market allows you meet the person who grew your food, and if you are unsure how to use a vegetable or fruit, just ask the farmer.

The crafters offer unique, well-made items, items you can’t find in a big box store.

Through the summer, the selection of produce, baking and crafts may vary. Each market is a little different, it is worth a visit every Tuesday and Friday morning. The farmer’s market opens at 8:00 a.m. for those who want to pop in before heading to work, and runs until 12:30 p.m. There

are tables and chairs in the shade for people to sit and enjoy a visit with friends. You can sip a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy some of the fresh fruit or delicious baking. It is a great place to take summer visitors for a leisurely morning out.

The Shuswap Farm and Craft Market is proud to be a part of the Farmers’ Market Nutrition & Coupon Program. This program provides lower-income families and seniors who are enrolled in cooking

and skill-building programs with coupons each week to spend at their local farmers’ market. Participants can use the coupons to purchase eligible products including fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, nuts, cheese, eggs and fresh cut herbs. Within cooking and skill-building sessions offered by participating community organizations, participants learn to cook healthy, nutritious meals using locally procured farm products. The community partner in this program is the Shuswap Family Resource Centre.

Located on 5th St and 5th Ave, (behind the Centenoka Park Mall) the Shuswap Farm and Craft Market is easy to find and has plenty of parking, if you haven’t been to the market for a while go and check it out!

During the summer local musicians will be performing at the market. Visit the website: www. shuswapfarmersmarket.com or the Facebook page for more information on dates and times. File photo.

the wealth of experience and talent in the area, Shuswap Theatre repeatedly produces top-quality theatre and has won numerous awards at both zone and provincial levels.

Following the pattern of their first year, in 1981, each season consists of three Mainstage productions, one each in the fall, winter and spring with the final production entered as their entry into the Okanagan Zone Festival. Some years a Christmas production (often a pantomime) has been added to the season. Second Stage productions began in 2002, recognizing a need to provide a venue for play readings, and to provide new actors and directors with an opportunity to gain experience.

In the last few years an Improv Group named Laughing Gas, has been formed, performing for the public several times a year.

Shuswap Lake Marine Provincial Park is one of the most popular boating and canoeing locations in the Southern Interior.

Shuswap Marine is comprised of 26 sites located around the perimeter of Shuswap Lake. All locations are popular for fishing and water sports, and hiking and nature study are popular at some sites. Some sites are road accessible, but most are water-access only.

Facilities at the sites vary from nothing to 3 or 4 wilderness tenting sites with a pit toilet.

Shuswap Lake is shaped like an addled H, and is made up of four large arms: the Shuswap Lake Main Arm, Seymour Arm, Anstey Arm, and Salmon Arm. The product of the glacial scouring that also rounded the surrounding Shuswap Highlands, all four arms converge at Cinnemousun Narrows, northeast of Sicamous.

Park is located where the four arms of Shuswap meet, and is one of the most popular destinations in the North Shuswap. At the northwest end of Shuswap Lake Main Arm, near Anglemont, Horseshoe Bay offers a safe anchorage to boaters.

Seymour Arm On the northwest end of Seymour Arm, Albas Park has a small 5-site campground south of Blueberry Creek. An undeveloped camping area is found near the mouth of Celesta Creek. A trail begins near Steamboat Bay, follows Celesta Creek upstream for approximately 1.5 km, then crosses the creek and returns to the lake.

Noted for a series of beautiful waterfalls and some interesting features from early logging days. Bears are frequent visitors in Albas Park.

Other attractions on Seymour Arm include Wright Creek, the wide sandy beach at Beach Bay and the small Cottonwood Beach, all on the east side of Seymour Arm,

and Encounter Point, Two Mile Creek, and Woods Landing on the west side.

Silver Beach Provincial Park is located at the end of a long, gravel road at the head of Seymour Arm. This part of the lake is blessed with sandy beaches, and houseboaters come here to get away from it all.

The park’s forest setting is lovely - Douglas fir interwoven with aspen. Paddle around the mouth of the Seymour River to watch the salmon spawn from mid-August to mid-September.

Anstey Arm Located at the north end of Anstey Arm, Anstey Beach has five rustic campsites, and a large cedar and cottonwood forest at the mouth of Anstey River.

The pleasantly forested site at Anstey Arm offers five campsites and an excellent view up Anstey Arm. Other destinations on Anstey Arm include the sparkling creek, tiny bay and seven wilderness campsites at Four Mile Creek, Rendezvous Picnic Site, Roberts

Above: Albas Falls is a spectacular 3km trail loop on both sides of Celista Creek. The trail has multiple access points, both by road or boat. There is a beach at the creek outlet and picnic tables are placed.

The Anstey Arm/ Hunakwa Protected Area includes approximately 20,000 hectares of old growth forests, wetlands and key wildlife habitat. A nature lover’s paradise at the north end of Anstey Arm, Hunakwa Lake is the only remaining low elevation, unroaded, midsized lake in southern B.C. This wilderness area connects the Anstey Arm with the Seymour Arm of the Shuswap Lake and includes the diminutive Wright Lake, where naturalists have identified a great diversity of ferns, flowers, shrubs and trees.

Improve your health

I frequently write about the importance of ensuring everyone has sufficient levels of omega-3 fatty acids in our diet. This is a topic I often return to because modern farming and livestock practices have reduced the omega-3 levels in our food supply, which in turn has resulted in significant imbalances in the omega-6:omega-3 ratio in our bodies.

Immigrant survey Still seeking diamond winner During the EZ Rock Have a Heart for Health Radiothon held in early May, a real Canadianmined diamond worth $500 was donated by Arthur’s Gemset Studio, as a prize to be found in a container containing mostly cubic zirconias.

Of all the stones drawn and subsequently brought in for checking, still none have been found to be the genuine diamond. Currently there are are still a few stones outstanding, and one of these is the real deal! If you have a stone you had purchased that day and have not yet brought it into Arthur’s Gemset Studio to be checked, please bring it in – you have a good chance of finding yourself with a real diamond!

Arthur’s Gemset Studio is located in the Mall at Piccadilly, and is open during mall hours.

Immigrant Services Shuswap is conducting a survey of the immigrant community in the Salmon Arm area. The goals of this survey are to learn more about the characteristics that define the local immigrant community, and to assess the needs of immigrants and temporary foreign workers in the Salmon Arm area. The information gathered will be used to support requests for funding to run programs that address those needs. This survey is for anyone who came from another country to live or to work in Canada, regardless of how long they have been here, including people who have become Canadian citizens.

Immigrant Services Shuswap is a non-profit organization that provides free services to newcomers to Canada, such as assistance with settlement and cultural orientation, help filling out applications, and support making connections in our community. “How well we can satisfy the needs of newcomers determines whether they remain and integrate into the local community or move on to other more supportive and welcoming communities,” says society president Bernie Derosiers.

The survey is available at the Immigrant Services Shuswap website at www.welcomeshuswap.com. People requiring assistance to complete the survey are invited to visit the new settlement office at 371 Hudson Ave. (across from the post office) in Salmon Arm or to phone 250-804-2726.

MAN TRAPPED IN BATHROOM FOR SEVEN DAYS A 62-year-old man in Dawson Creek had a stroke in his bathroom and was stuck on the floor between the vanity and toilet. His left side was paralyzed and he survived by using his good right arm to unscrew a small cup that covers the toilet bolt and scooping water from the bowl. The water ran out at the end of day four and he couldn’t reach the lever to flush the toilet. He shouted for help when neighbours were going to and from work but they didn’t hear him. It wasn’t till day seven when he heard a neighbour near her car parked by his bathroom window that he shouted HELP and she heard him. She asked if it was him, and couldn’t get in his condo so she called 911.

The retired financial controller and father of three is in a Vancouver hospital. He was told he had a clot in his brain and will make an almost full recovery. He’s considering moving to Vancouver to be with his children or to Victoria, where his sisters live.

If you live alone, as many seniors do, consider what you would do if you had a stroke and were unable to call anyone. We seniors should wear a button on our wrist or hang one from our neck that we could press if we needed help. Like the Dawson Creek man, my family lives far away, in Victoria. Please let me know where I could get one, and I will pass it on to readers through this column.

DINNER THEATRE CONTINUES UNTIL AUGUST 24 The very popular dinner theatre at Haney Heritage Village will continue every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday until August 24. It starts with an old-fashioned dinner at 6 p.m., continues with a locally-written play performed in the large new theatre in the woods by four young people, and ends with rhubarb crisp and ice cream in Marjorie’s Tea Room. For details, go to www.salmonarmmuseum. org.

BROADWAY MUSICAL IN SALMON ARM ON AUGUST 14 It’s not Phantom of the Opera, it’s Phantom of the Village. Haney Heritage Village & Museum will present Peter Karrie and Melina Moore for a one-night dinner and intimate concert series, The Phantom of the Opera Returns, featuring all the hits of Phantom of the Opera and other selections. Dinner is at 6 p.m. and the show at 7. Seating is limited. Tickets are $40. Call the village at 250-832-5243.

Peter Karrie is originally from Wales and is an international Broadway and London West End legend. Melina Moore is an Argentine-born coloratura soprano who received her training at The Juilliard School in New York

City and presently makes her home in Vernon. For more info go to www.salmonarmmuseum.org NO NEED TO SPEND HUNDREDS TO FIX A VAC A woman who reads this column has a 20-year-old builtin vacuum cleaner that stopped working. She unscrewed the handle and found a broken wire. She phoned two vacuum cleaner companies. One said they do not do fiddly repairs but could sell her a new system for about $2,000 and the other said they could sell a new hose and power head for about $500.

The faithful reader wrote: “However, in your column last week you wrote about the scooter store at Centenoka Mall, so I phoned them. Talked to Mark, the owner, and he said he would look at it for me.

GIRL GUIDES TOOK SHELTER IN TWO ARENAS More than 2,500 Girl Guides and leaders from across Canada and several other countries were in Enderby for a week of camping and activities. One was my granddaughter, Jazmin Scales. When a wind and rain storm was coming through from Kamloops on Wednesday afternoon, July 23, the Girl Guides had 15 minutes to get food, warm clothes and blankets and ran from their tents in Riverside Park to Enderby’s curling rink and arena. Six and a half hours later, after the storm passed Enderby, they walked back to the park.

The girls were concerned about the Guides who were on bus trips that day, some in Vernon, some in Salmon Arm and some as far as Revelstoke. Jazmin said when they got back to Enderby an hour later everyone was relieved they were safe and with us.

In the middle of the night another storm came that included rain, wind, thunder and lightning. Lots of things got soaked so people in the community took sleeping bags, clothes, and blankets to their homes and laundromat to wash and dry. 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.

Letters to the Editor

Support requested for public hearing in Blind Bay

I am writing on behalf of our family to ask for public support for our final development plans for Blind Bay Resort. Once again, we are trying to gain our approvals for 19 waterfront recreational RV sites on land that has been historically used for this since 1972. We also wish to move our moorage dock deeper, to lessen our foreshore environmental impact and enhance our guest safety. We recognize the public sentiment to guard our waterfront areas against prolific high density development, but

know we are not proposing this nor can exist without a compatible use of this land. If you’ve followed our story, you’ll know we work hard to enhance our community, creating jobs, taxes, and have improved considerably the social and environmental influence our resort has upon this area. Our application also provides for a public access easement, and will contribute 5% of the land value to the CSRD Parks fund. Please help us by sending a clear message of support: Attend our Public Hearing on

August 6th, at the Sorrento Memorial Hall, at 6:00 p.m.

Or send your letter of support to our CSRD Senior Planner Dan Passmore, at dpassmore@csrd.bc.ca. Each letter must be addressed to be considered. If you need more information, please view our website at www.blindbayresort.com, or come directly to our resort for a personal tour while all our guests are here. We would appreciate it!

Provincial grants benefit local organizations

SALMON ARM – A number of sports and arts and cultural groups are receiving Community Gaming Grants totalling $225,650, Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo announced recently.

Organizations receiving sports grants are: Salmon Arm Minor Hockey Association -$65,000; North Okanagan Minor Hockey Association (Armstrong) -

$35,000; Larch Hills Nordic Society - $20,000; Shuswap Ringette Association - $19,075; Sicamous Eagles Junior “B” Hockey Club - $15,000; and Salmon Arm Skating Club - $9,075 Organizations receiving arts and culture grants are: Salmon Arm Folk Music Society - $55,000; and South Shuswap Canada Day (Blind Bay) - $7,500.

Camping trip

This past winter a couple of my buddies and I were having one of those “When we were kids…” discussions. We talked about how when we were kids, we used to play outdoors and explore the wild wilderness; while today, kids seem to be too tied up in technology to take the time to enjoy and explore the outdoors. This further led us to plan a camping trip for our kids that wouldn’t be in a trailer in a nice RV park.

Instead, we wanted to “rough it.”

Well, our big camping trip came together this past weekend. In total there were three dads, eight boys ranging from 8 to 15 years of age, and Buster the dog. As this was the dads’ idea, our wives gladly stayed home to enjoy a peaceful weekend without the usual high levels of testosterone.

Being an overzealous and not well-organized bunch of guys, we ended up bringing three of everything, from camp stoves to spatulas, instead of coordinating ahead of time to lighten our load.

We had enough propane to last us through the winter, probably a kilometre of rope and don’t even get me started on the amount of food we brought!

All this excess wouldn’t have been a problem except that the campsite we went to was not accessible by vehicle. We did drive for quite a ways on forestry roads, but from there we had to shuttle down a small river until we reached the shores of the lake we were camping on. One of us had a boat, another had two kayaks and I brought my canoe. Loaded to the hilt with supplies and kids, we managed to navigate our way to the beach and setup camp.

The weekend for the kids was spent fishing, eating, hiking, eating, swimming and more eating. They caught a few fish, a large frog and a leech that was attached to my youngest son’s foot.

The weekend for us dads included cooking, untangling hooks from trees/rocks, burning our hands making popcorn over the fire, and trying our best to prevent someone from chopping off a toe with the axe.

Someone do a good deed for you?

“For sports groups in the Shuswap, these Gaming Grants will help sporting groups in the Shuswap purchase equipment, travel to tournaments and expand their program offering to youth throughout our region,” Kyllo said. “In addition, we are investing in one of our most popular festivals in the region, the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival taking place August 15-17. Congratulations to all of the recipients.”

These grants are awarded under Sport and the Arts and Culture categories of the Community Gaming Grant Program, which allows non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. Gaming grants are also awarded in the categories of Public Safety, Environment and Human and Social Services.

In the 2012/13 fiscal year, our government contributed $135 million in gaming grants for eligible community programs and services.

Organizations interested in applying for Community Gaming Grants can find full application information at pssg.gov.bc.ca/gaming.

mallarkey

by Daron Mayes At one point, my oldest had just snagged his hook on a log and busted his fishing line, when my second oldest got his line caught in some rocks, and then my youngest cast his line right into a bunch of trees overhanging the river.

Around the same time two of their friends somehow managed to get their lines tangled up together. That left only the Junior Bean Counter and two of his buddies, who were more than happy to have some extra elbow room along the river.

By the time we got home, we had lots of scrapes, bruises, burns and mosquito bites. It was clearly the adventure we were looking for as the boys have already started talking about next year’s camping trip. For the dads, it was mission accomplished!

Chadalin Medi-Spa Chadalin Medi-Spa opened its doors just over a month ago. Owned and operated by Dr. Herman Venter and his wife, Linda Venter, the medi-spa offers a full-range of pedicures (including senior foot maintenance and men’s pedi), manicures, gel nails, facials, waxing, botox, registered massage therapy, and laser treatments.

“My husband started the laser clinic at Mt. Ida Medical Clinic two years ago but we found we needed to expand so we started looking for places to move,” says Linda.

Chadalin is located at 200 Trans Canada Highway, right beside The Wicked Spoon restaurant.

As you walk in the door you see an upscale waiting area with two kinds of flavoured water and your choice of coffee and tea, but you won’t find any of the typical reading material.

“I don’t have any magazines,” says Linda. “People can bring their own but I want them to forget the outside world.”

Linda explains as a medi-spa, they adhere to the highest sanitary standards and have an autoclave, a device used to sterilize equipment and supplies by subjecting them to high pressure steam at 121 degree Celsius for about 20 minutes.

“An autoclave is used in hospitals and medical clinics.

It’s a step above. Everything in here is very clean, we take great pride in that. If we can’t sterilize it, we throw it away.”

They have kids’ packages, bridal packages, as well as spa packages that come with a complimentary lunch from The Pink Cherry.

Chadalin offers laser treatment for vein therapy, hair removal, rosacea, fine lines and wrinkles, and sun damage. They also use Venus Legacy, a patented technology, that is used for skin tightening, fat reduction, wrinkle reduction, cellulite reduction, and body contouring.

“There’s only four places in BC that have Venus Legacy and we’re one of them,” says Linda.

Dr. Venter does all the cosmetic botox treatments and the initial consultation is free. Linda says client privacy is important so they have the payment area and exit separate from the entrance waiting area.

“We have a second waiting room so you can relax after your treatment and you can leave without anyone at the front seeing you. No one has to know what treatment you had done.”

They also sell a South African medical-grade skin care product, Environ, which they use in their facial treatments. [Medical grade products can only be sold in doctor-affiliated business].

“People can just come in and buy products but we recommend a consultation and that’s free. We do cool chemical peels and it’s very gentle. It’s so gentle you can go right back to work, no down time. It gets rid of dead skin cells while protecting healthy ones.”

The name of the spa comes from the first letters of their three sons’ names: Charel, Dawian, and Linden.

“It’s a family business and we’re trying to bring our South African roots out. It’s our heritage.”

Herman and Linda moved to Canada from South Africa over 12 years ago. They lived in McBride for a few years and moved to Salmon Arm seven years ago.

In their new venture, Linda says it was important to them to have something for everyone, regardless of income.

“Whether you’re a mother, a bank manager, or a cashier, it doesn’t matter. I want you to walk through the door and find something affordable so that for the next 20 minutes or two hours you can forget what you’re cooking for dinner, or the meeting...I just want you to walk in, relax and forget about the world.”

To contact Chadalin Medi-Spa phone 250-803-8717 or email chadalinmedispa@yahoo.com Their staff include: Reception Angie Hepburn and Karen Coutlee; RMT Emerald Dodds; Aestheticians Charity Leach, Sarah Simpson, and Nicole Petersen; Laser technicians Sarah Reid, Beth Gulliford, and Baillie Bridle.

They are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. On Wednesdays they’re open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. After-hour appointments for spa parties are available; please give them five days’ notice.

Raymond Pilon is a former agent who has decided to return to his roots and kick off the second leg of his real estate career in the Shuswap. Larry Clarke is a retired home inspector and school administrator with a passion for restoring classic cars. He plans to work in partnership with his wife Joanell. Joanell Clarke has recently renewed her license. She previously sold real estate in Vancouver. Joanell is also a retired clinical counsellor and new to Salmon Arm. She looks forward to working with her husband Larry.

Brenda Blackstock has background in business as the former owner of the Bloom ‘n Tub; she is a professional home stager. Aaron Priebe brought Prisa Lighting to Salmon Arm in 2006 and sold it last year to pursue a career in real estate. Dan Redekop (not pictured) is now following in Dad’s (Kent) footsteps working for Century 21 Lifestyles.

“Obtaining your real estate license is no small feat,” says Century 21 Lifestyles Sales Manager Ron Langridge.

“They have all gone through the Sauder School of Business Real Estate Trading Services course and after close to 10 months of studying and learning the material as a group, they all successfully wrote their final exams and earned their Real Estate Trading Services Licenses and are now licensed to offer their services through Century 21 Lifestyles in Salmon Arm. We congratulate all the grads and look forward to having them on our team.” In photo, from left, Raymond Pilon, Larry Clarke, Joanell Clarke, Aaron Priebe and Brenda Blackstock.

Celebrating Native culture Runaway Moon Theatre and Splatsin Language Program present a new play, “Tuwitames” (too-weet-amiss), August 6-10, at 7:30 p.m. The play will take place in the Cultural Yard of Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn, 2730 Canyon Road, just south of Enderby.

In this production, Secwepemc creation stories and history from ancient times to recent are intertwined with a personal story of a young man trying to find his roots.

Vancouver director James Fagan Tait, and Splatsin cultural historian Rosalind Williams, direct a cast of community members from age 3 to 83, from Splatsin, Neskonlith and Adams Lake Bands, and from nearby communities.

Rosalind Williams has been speaking with Splatsin Elders and documenting stories, history and tradition for over thirty years, and this is an opportunity to share her efforts towards Secwepemc language and cultural regeneration with the First Nations community and the general public.

Thirty years of Eurasian water milfoil This year marks the 30th anniversary of the local fight against Eurasian water milfoil. In 1984, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) became a small financial contributor as the Ministry of Environment (MOE) was trying to eradicate milfoil before it spread further in Shuswap Lake.

Milfoil was found more than a decade earlier at the north end of Okanagan Lake. It spread rapidly throughout the watershed and by August 1981 milfoil was confirmed at Sandy Point and Sicamous Channel. Early treatment methods included diver dredges, handpicking and bottom barrier applications, and the Shuswap crew grew to 28 seasonal employees. At one time the CSRD had the second largest diving operation in BC and staff trained at CFB Esquimalt Navy diving training facility.

The CSRD, in conjunction with the Ministry, designed and built the most effective milfoil root removal machine in North America. The rototilling operations had 2 shifts a day, seven days a week, and machines were outfitted with lights for night operation.

Despite all efforts of local and provincial governments, by 1991 milfoil had spread to Mara Lake and all four arms of Shuswap Lake. In 1993 hopes of eradication were dismissed and the program focused on control only.

In 1999 the Province of BC stopped funding milfoil programs and local governments took over responsibility.

So far, over $8 million has been expended in this region trying to control this invasive plant.

Zebra mussels are now another significant invasive species that threatens our region. For more information visit www.dontmoveamussel.ca Prevention is the best defense against both Eurasian water milfoil and zebra mussels. ‘Clean, Drain, Dry’ is fast becoming the mantra of modern boating etiquette. As explained on the website, anyone coming out of the water with any kind of gear is asked to: CLEAN off all plants, animals and mud from your boat and related equipment (e.g. boots, waders, fishing gear). If a power washing station is available, use it.

DRAIN (on dry land) any item that can hold water (e.g. buckets, wells, bilge and ballast).

DRY all items completely before launching the watercraft into another body of water.

Common hiding spots for invasive species: the trolling motor, livewell and bilge, propeller and lower unit, rollers, chain, hull, and anchor.

Also performing is The Chris Stevens Family Band. Chris is known as one of the country’s top banjo players and is a

Do you know the health benefits of Hazelwood?

Barbara Campbell from Hamilton, ON is a mother of 7 months old twins who had a rough time when their first teeth came out.

“I was very skeptical at first, but with two babies in teething pain I felt like I’ve tried everything else and had nothing to lose. After just a few days, the drooling was less intense and we could finally get some peaceful sleep! Since then, my husband wears the necklace at all times and he says it works miracles for his heartburn.”

The story is one that has its roots back in the very, very early days. The First Nations used small hazel twigs to relieve various ailments such as intestinal disorders. They even crafted necklaces to ease their babies’ teething pain. Pure Hazelwood™ has proudly brought this tradition back to life by developing the first line of hazel wood commercial products for the whole family.

The Canadian company is now the world leader in that market.

The Pure Hazelwood™ products are sold in more than 2000 outlets across Canada, the United States and Europe. They come in varieties of trendy necklaces and bracelets to please everyone’s tastes. A moisturizing lotion and a zinc ointment, both enriched with hazel wood extract, are also available.

Our Research

Pioneering the scientific research, Pure Hazelwood™ can now demonstrate that hazel wood extracts used are very rich in polyphenols and have antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Health benefits of Hazelwood for the whole family

For more than 15 years, Pure Hazelwood™ has enjoyed growing success borne of the enthusiasm of its clients, many of which have offered testimonials for the relief of various problems such as: • Joint pain • Skin problems • Mouth ulcers • Digestive problems • Teething

sought after session musician and a seasoned award winning entertainer. In 1998 Chris received the BCCMA Album of the year and has received five nominations for ‘BCCMA instrumentalist of the year.” Chris has recorded with K.D. Lang and has supported Bluegrass legends Kenny Baker and Josh Graves. Chris has brought together three generations of his family to make up the “Chris Stevens Family Bluegrass Band” Geraldine (Mother), Brenda Stevens (Sister), Saro Stevens (Daughter), Suzanne Stevens (Saro’s Mom) and John Milne (Brenda’s partner), make this a real family affair. Their candid onstage interaction makes it seem like you’re right at home with them, as they move in and out of a single microphone with a casual ease.

The morning starts at 8:30 a.m. with Marjorie’s Tea Room serving a pancake breakfast ($6.00 per person); and a BBQ lunch will follow at 11:30 a.m. R. J.

Proportion

Last column I talked about scale, and how not understanding scale can really mess up an otherwise good design plan. I recently read a blog post by an ‘expert’ who said that proportion and scale were the same thing and the words could be interchanged. Such nonsense is probably one of the reasons so many people have problems with scale in their home designs.

So today, I’m going to expound a bit on proportion. It goes hand-in-hand with scale, but it is not the same thing at all. Scale is the size of an item relative to its surroundings. Proportion is the size of each component of a piece and how it relates to the whole piece. Proportion includes scale, but the two are not the same thing.

Bad scale: A huge sofa in a tiny living room, a tiny sofa table if front of a large sofa, an oversized mirror above a vanity-sized entry table.

Bad proportion: A heavy table top with spindly legs. Heavy legs topped with a lattice table-top.

An 18-inch long valance mounted just at the top of the window frame, covering up one-third of the window. The same valance over drapes which stop half-way between the window frame and the floor. A large coffee cup with a handle so tiny you can’t put your fingers through it. I know you have all seen these things.

Now, having said all that; get this: scale affects proportion within an item. Just as the large sofa and small room are out of scale; within an item, the components can be out of scale. Back to the heavy table top with spindly legs: the table top and legs are out of proportion because the scale is wrong. Either the legs are too spindly or the top is too heavy. Either way, the piece is not in proportion because the scale of the components is not balanced.

Once you start looking for good proportion, you will see the good scale too, and this understanding will positively affect your room designs.

And you will also see astoundingly bad scale that creates bad proportions. Aren’t you the clever one??

So, use items that have good proportion within themselves and think of the surrounding pieces and the size of the room when using them in design.

I’ll attach some pictures of good and bad proportion to this column when it goes on my website in a few days. Designsewlutions.ca

By Faith Juell The Salmon Arm Horseshoe Club is continuing with summer practices, cleanups, and tournaments.

Regular practices are Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 6:30 p.m. with vistors and dropins welcome to join in with the regulars.

Several members attended the Annual Summer Tournament in Penticton on the July 19th weekend.

Slogan winners

The Salmon Arm Silverbacks Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club is pleased to announce a very successful mid-summer slogan contest resulting in a tie between two fans, Shauna Stewart and Betty Mohninger (pictured above, left to right, with Silverbacks’ President/GM Troy Mick), for submitting a slogan idea that was collectively finalized as “Our Team. Our Town. Our Game.”

Congratulations to the winners!

Melanie Hart, Silverbacks Marketing & Director of Communications said, “The submissions from these two ladies confirmed my ideal slogan concept for this year.

So when not one but two fans came up with this very concept – the choice was clear. The 2014/2015 season is the year for our community to take ownership of this team as ‘our’ very own. The contribution of this Junior ‘A’ Club is invaluable to ‘Our Town’ - on and off the ice, and year round for economy, our kids, our families, and our business community. And, this is ‘Our Game’.

Canadians from coast to coast to coast love the game of hockey.

The Silverbacks’ committed fan base, army of volunteers, and corporate sponsors echo this sentiment right here in Salmon Arm.” “We received dozens of excellent submissions through social media and e-mails, and each and every one was considered by our staff, and all were certainly enjoyed! The submissions showed humour, team spirit

and support of our team. So the staff would like to thank all who took the time to send in your ideas!”

Special mention goes out to the children of the Ferguson family for sending in their long list of slogans that embody the team spirit that the Silverbacks want to live out both on and off the ice.

For more information, contact Melanie Hart, Marketing & Director of Communications, at the Silverbacks Hockey Operations office at 250-804-6922. Photo contributed.

The fuse for the 2014 edition of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival will be officially lit during late afternoon of Thursday, August 14 with the annual Music Crawl.

The popular evening of music happens just 24 hours before the festival gates open at the Salmon Arm Fair Grounds at 5 p.m. Friday, August 15.

The annual Music Crawl combines talents of individuals and bands who hail from the area with those of artists who make their homes in Calgary, Toronto, Kelowna, and Edmonton. Local faves like The Salmon Armenians, Seal Skull Hammer, Jordan Dick, and Jesse Mast are scheduled for Music Crawl performances, as is seven-time Maple Blues Award winner Paul Reddick of Toronto. Recent Juno nominee Chloe Albert of Edmonton, who had the number one recording on Alberta’s CKUA for 2013, as well as Kelowna’s top traditional bluesman Rick ‘Poppa Dawg’ Halisheff, are also on the Music Crawl line-up.

“We think the Music Crawl is going to be another memorable night for roots music fans in this community and for those visitors who will have already descended on Salmon Arm for the festival,” says Roots and Blues new artistic director Peter North.

Seven venues and the Ross Street outdoor stage will present the music along with local cafe, pub, and coffee house proprietors.

Set times will be staggered, allowing music fans to catch as many artists as possible in a six-hour stretch, as the musical menu takes audiences into the late evening at The Hideaway Pub and The Wicked Spoon.

AnDiamo and The Shuswap Pie Company will play host for early shows as jazz guitarist Jordan Dick kicks off the night on a double bill with Ms. Albert that starts at 5:30 p.m. The Shuswap Pie Company hosts Seal Skull Hammer for two sets, the first of which starts at 6:15 p.m.

AnDiamo will have another chance to hear her at the Blue Canoe around 8:45 following Jesse Mast’s set. The Downtown Improvement Association presents PerlHaze, featuring the talents of Sophia Perlman and Terra Hazelton. Many blues and jazz fans know Terra’s work with the late, great Jeff Healey and his Jazz Wizards.

PerlHaze will be playing two sets beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the Ross Street Stage,” added North, who has Joe Nolan rounding out the talent pool. The young singer-songwriter has recently received glow-

ing press, and has been booked to open for Melissa Ethridge in western Canada this

coming fall. Nolan plays two sets at the Pinz Tattoo Studio, the first of which starts at 5:45.

Al Baker July 19, 1925 - July 21, 2014 In the early morning of July 21st, Al passed away peacefully at Bastion Place to unite with the love of his life, Martha. For many years Al and Martha ran Baker Building Movers Ltd. from Golden throughout the Okanagan area.

A wonderful gentle man with a huge heart that touched the lives of all he knew. He will be missed by his stepchildren, Dorothy McKenna of Sicamous, BC, Patricia Dyck of Prince George, BC, William Dyck of Oshawa, Ontario, and Jerry Dyck of Calgary, Alberta, his nine grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.

The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Bastion Place; words cannot express your kindness and compassion towards Al. Also warmest thanks to Dr. Beech for your thoughtful care and support.

No service is planned at this time and in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Shuswap Lake Hospital Foundation.

D. Blair Mitchell D. Blair Mitchell died peacefully, Thursday, July 24, 2014 in Salmon Arm, BC at the age of 58.

After enduring a lengthy illness, he left this world in the arms of his wife. He is finally free.

Born on March 4, 1956 in Nelson, Blair grew up and graduated in Terrace before moving to the Shuswap in 1979. In 1987 Blair married his wife Susan (Maidment). Together they raised their children, Rachel and Ian, who were his greatest pride and joy, they meant the world to him.

Blair was employed by Federated Co-Op from 1979 until he retired, due to health reasons, in 2008. The proud owner of Fine Line Custom Picture Framing in Salmon Arm, Blair created some of the best work in the area. A talented artist and athlete, whatever he did, excellence was always his goal. A self-taught musician, Blair was well known in the Shuswap as the drummer of Rohanna. He devoted many years to perfecting his ability and practice was the heartbeat of the home, it was a joy to watch him perform.

As well, he was a sought after goalie and an avid golfer. Blair could also do almost anything with a Frisbee and his love and appreciation for beautiful automotives was legendary. Everyone who knew Blair loved him; he was just easy to love. He will be missed by all of his friends and family, but most especially and profoundly by Susan, Rachel and Ian. A private celebration of life for family and friends will be held to honour the life of this good man, gone far too soon.

TDIPhotography

Back in 1905, on a fully moonlit night, David Salmond Mitchell, one of the first fishery officers in BC, rowed up the Salmon River. “About a mile from its mouth, I tied the bow to a long stake, which was bedded into the bed of the stream.” He then took his bedroll to the stern, and went to sleep. “In the grey of early dawn, I was aroused by a great commotion. I put an oar into the water and found it half full of fish. The now increasing light of morning showed it was red from bank to bank. Then a stampede of panic occurred, and the sockeye salmon came surging downstream, meeting fish coming upstream, creating a flat wiggling mass. So jammed were they, they crowded out, and up the banks. The mass of fish then rushed downstream, creating a great noise, like the roar of a storm.”

Eight years later, that run was extinct.

The sockeye vanished from the river in 1913, due to passage being blocked by rockslides caused by construction of the railway at Hell’s Gate on the Fraser River. But in 1952, 39 years later, after the last sockeye was seen in the river, 25 returned.

Now into the 1990’s till today, a small run appears during a dominant cycle, such as 2010.

These fish are a genetic strain like no other, as happens on many streams and rivers in BC. Too, chinook salmon that enter the Salmon River make up one of the earliest runs in the interior, and are a small, unique species adapted to that stream.

Back in about 2000, the river experienced tremendous draw down from irrigation higher upstream.

As well, it was braided into rivulets at the mouth.

Chinook struggling through sand pockets flopped helplessly about and were picked off by sea gulls.

Salmon Arm Fish and Game members responded with shovels; the District, with sandbags; and a trench hundreds of yards long was dug and sandbagged to allow the fish upstream passage.

As well, with a special permit from DFO, chinook were also caught by line/lure (buzz-bomb/ FST), in the deep pool off Sandy Point, then placed in large submerged ziplock leather pouches, and transported to a Fisheries tank truck and taken to Spius Creek Hatchery. Some chinook caught, were very large for Salmon river, which goes back to genetic strain. DNA testing at the hatchery showed those fish were Shuswap river fish. They had taken the wrong turn in Shuswap lake, near Totem resort, and headed west.

Hatchery staff returned these chinook, to the Lower Shuswap river. So close to 100 years later, are we going to see a resurgence of salmon stocks to historic heights?. Commercial/Aboriginal/sport fishermen, are pretty excited, that we just may see close to 47 million sockeye enter the Fraser river, starting in mid August. In 2015, there may be a

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley historic run of pink salmon once again as well.

Chinook catches have also increased dramatically from Kitty-Coleman, up to Campbell River, even off Victoria. So just what is going on? According to a recent article in the Vancouver Sun (July 21st) by columnist Randy Shore, senior ecologist Brendan Connors, who is doing research on Pacific salmon, states that there are more salmon in Pacific Ocean waters now than there were in the 1950’s.

This is due to Alaskan/ Russian hatcheries pumping out about 900 million pink salmon. Other lower US/Canadian hatcheries put out about 5 million chinook/pink/sockeye smolts.

Unfortunately, pink salmon out-rival sockeye for food through shear numbers; going for zooplankton, anchovies, and small herring.

For all species of salmon, though, survival through the alevin stage depends on clean rivers, and rearing areas in unpolluted lakes, with a good food source for their first year. Ocean survival is dependent on minimal temperature rise.

Apparently, these factors are all having a cumulative effect, as it just may be a banner year for anglers to enjoy catching a chinook/sockeye salmon or two, either on the main Thompson or South Thompson River, including Little Shuswap/ Kamloops Lake this summer or fall!

Here and there in the Shuswap Changes are happening at Rodrick Haig Brown Park for the upcoming expected large run of sockeye salmon expected in early October. Of the 47 million fish entering the Fraser River, many will migrate to the many other river systems in BC, but it’s expected there will be close to 4.7–11 million coming to the Adams alone. From a viewer’s point of view, it’s spectacular. From a biologist’s perspective, it might just be too many fish, as once on the gravel and redds, mass smothering of eggs can occur, reducing what nature intended.

There were so many sockeye entering the counting fence on the Fulton River at Topley Landing by Granisle one season, a helicopter with a bucket scooped up thousands of fish and dumped them in the bush, due to overcrowding on the spawning beds. Harsh sounding, but a reality.

For those anglers who want to travel to the Thompson River for sockeye this fall, it is well worth the trip. For the lower Fraser system, there will be virtually hundreds of anglers lining the banks from Hope to Mission!

Enjoy our August 1st holiday and be safe!

Shuswap heroes chosen for calendar

The Heroes of the Shuswap 2015 calendar is available for purchase for $10 starting August 2.

This is a fundraising project of the Sorrento & Area Community Health Centre Society. On behalf of the community, the Society is responsible for providing the space for the Health Centre, along with reception, office supplies, insurance and utilities. Interior Health pays the salary, benefits and medical supplies for Nurse Practitioner Judy Deringer.

The heroes were nominated by local residents and selected by a panel of judges from 40 nominations. They include the volunteer fire companies from Eagle Bay, Shuswap, Tappen-Sunnybrae and White Lake; Sherri Mitchell and the Shuswap First Responders; Jim Chisholm, Sorrento; Keep Fit Instructors from the Cedar Centre (Heather Hargreaves, Catherine Bartlett, Sherri Reimer, Merton Palmer and Russ McLeod); Bev and

Norm Martin, Sorrento; Karen Angove, Salmon Arm; Alfred Davy, White Lake; Barry Stokes, Sorrento; Jack McInally, White Lake; Dorothy Argent, Salmon Arm; Louise Barber, Sorrento; Jack Lewis and Ron Schrader, North Shuswap; and Barbara Chisholm and Darla Crown, Sorrento.

A worthy lot to be sure.

Calendars are available at the Sorrento Village Farmers’ Market, Munro’s Sorrento Prescriptions, Lighthouse Market, the Village Grocer, Sorrento Hair Fashions and at the Community Health Centre which is hosting an Open House on Saturday, August 9th, 9:00 a.m. to noon. The $10 you pay for the calendar celebrates these heroes and contributes to the success of the Sorrento & Area Community Health Centre, located above Munro’s Sorrento Prescriptions with access from the rear laneway in the heart of Sorrento. The centre’s phone number is 250-803-5251.
