Teachers’ strike threatens to delay school start

Jeff Nagel, Black Press B.C. students are just days away from the scheduled start of a new school year but there’s little sign of a break in the teachers’ strike that has dragged on through the summer.

The final week of summer holiday opened Sunday with a demand in Kamloops from B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker for an immediate start to mediation.

No formal bargaining dates are scheduled, but Iker, Education Minister Peter Fassbender and government negotiator Peter Cameron were to meet Wednesday afternoon in Victoria, raising hopes for some movement.

Teachers have also stepped up picketing as both sides prepare for the strike to stretch

into September.

A mass rally outside the premier ’s Vancouver cabinet offices is also set for Sept. 5.

Veteran mediator Vince Ready is monitoring the talks and has indicated he will step into full mediation if it would be productive to do so.

Both sides blame the other for a gulf between positions that’s too wide for Ready to attempt to bridge.

The province says the teachers’ pay and benefits demands remain far in excess of settlements reached with other public sector unions.

Teachers, meanwhile, accuse the government of insisting on preconditions to talks that would unravel the union’s past court victories over the province on the stripping of contract terms on class

size and special needs support.

The province is appealing the latest court ruling against it.

Also gaining prominence in recent days has been an opt-out clause that the government has tabled that would allow either side to terminate a new collective agreement if it dislikes the ultimate court outcome from either the B.C. Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada.

An education mininstry spokesman said he was surprised it has become an issue now.

It was disclosed in mid-June by government negotiators who pitched it as a “pragmatic and creative” way to give the union comfort it wouldn’t be handed a massive defeat in court and could therefore shelve those issues and nego-

tiate an interim agreement while the appeal proceeds.

But a BCTF spokesman said it’s the province not teachers who want an escape hatch, adding it suggests the government fears it will lose in court again and is seeking to block that outcome.

He credited BCTF members on Twitter for bringing the clause into public focus.

The Liberal government has promised to pay parents $40 a day for each child under 13 who misses school if the strike continues.

Various organizations and businesses are scaling up their day camp and other supervised care offerings for September in anticipation of a continued school shutdown.

The province also promised Tuesday to cover supported child development costs for

Shuswap Watershed Council re-schedules open house

The Shuswap Watershed Council is re-scheduling a community open house meeting on its proposed Water Quality Program. A meeting was previously scheduled to take place in Sorrento on July 23rd, but was cancelled due to a large thunderstorm that caused a power outage. The meeting is one of six others that took place throughout the Shuswap region in July.

“The purpose of the open house is to present the water quality program that’s proposed

to begin in 2015 and seek public feedback,” said Paul Demenok, Chair of the Shuswap Watershed Council and Director for Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area ‘C.’ “We hosted six open houses in July in other locations, but unfortunately the Sorrento meeting was cancelled at the last minute.”

The meeting will take place at the Sorrento Memorial Hall on September 15th. The doors will open at 3:30 p.m. for a drop-in poster board display and oppor-

tunity for dialogue. A presentation and Q&A will begin at 6:00 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend; light refreshments will be served. Visit www.shuswapwater.ca for more information.

The Shuswap Watershed Council is a collaborative new partnership of local governments, the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council, the Province of BC, and local watershed stewardship groups with a mandate to maintain and enhance water quality in the Shuswap.

in-school hours for special needs children now accessing services.

Fassbender on Monday reiterated the government’s position that it has no desire to legislate the teachers back to work.

The lumpsum payouts to parents following the end of the strike will consume all of the $12 million a day in strike savings the government would have amassed going forward.

Parents can sign up for the payments at bcparentinfo.ca, a government-created website that seeks to prepare parents for an ongoing strike this fall.

Calming foods

We all know about relaxing teas such as chamomile and valerian teas, but there are also some foods with calming and relaxing properties.

Bottle gourd is a common vegetable in Asia (available in Oriental or East Indian stores). It looks like zucchini, except that it is lighter in colour and a little bigger and fatter. This vegetable can be boiled and eaten. It has a relaxing and calming effect and is easy on the stomach.

Celery leaves or its juice also have calming properties, so include this in your diet whenever you want to have a good nap or just wind down.

Dill is another plant whose leaves are known for their soothing and calming effect.

Lettuce contains an ingredient called lectucarium, which has calming properties. If you make juice from lettuce and celery, or eat both together, the effect will be doubled.

Milk, cheese, and plain yogurt are all rich in tryphtophan, which effectively induces tranquility and calmness.

Foods rich in thiamine (vitamin B1) have sleep-inducing properties. This vitamin plays an important role in stimulating a healthy nervous system. A deficiency of this vitamins leads to insomnia. Some foods rich in vitamin B include whole grain cereals, pulses and nuts.

Cherries contain melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, and it is especially useful in overcoming jet leg. It is a good idea to eat a handful of cherries a few nights before and after travelling to obtain a good calming effect.

Honey taken with water also helps in relaxing and to induce sleep, but diabetics and weight watchers should consider its high calorie content and sugar levels.

There are herbs and spices that also help you to relax, which I will cover in another column.

Until then, calm down with the simple foods mentioned above.

West Nile found in horses

Jeff Nagel, Black Press Positive tests for West Nile virus in two horses near Cache Creek serve as a fresh reminder that humans could also be infected by the mosquito-borne disease, health officials say.

“It’s not too surprising,” said deputy provincial health officer Bonnie Henry. “But it would be the first indication we have this year of any West Nile virus activity.”

She noted the two horses haven’t yet been confirmed as West Nile cases by the province. They were reported Monday by the Society of B.C. Veterinarians, which cautioned owners of horses against scrimping on their vaccinations.

There have been three bitten-inB.C. West Nile infections among people over the years, in addition to the more than 40 other cases contracted out of province.

All the local infections happened in 2009 in the Southern Interior, Henry said, with most of the posi-

tive tests of mosquitoes and birds occurring in the South Okanagan.

Henry said horses act as “end hosts” like humans – they don’t act as a virus reservoir like corvid birds and increase the risk of transmission to people.

“This is another indicator that West Nile virus can be out there,” she said.

“This would be the highest risk time of year.”

Most people bitten by an infected mosquito have no symptoms, but in about 20 per cent of cases, those infected develop a fever, headaches and rash. About one in 150 will experience severe complications such as meningitis and about one in 1,000 will die.

The best way to avoid West Nile virus is to prevent mosquito bites: wear light-coloured long-sleeved shirts and pants, especially in the early morning and evening; use repellants with DEET and lemon eucalyptus oil; and eliminate standing water in your yard.

Too much sitting can be deadly

A few months ago I wrote an article that suggested excessive time spent sitting is as detrimental to your health as risky behaviours like smoking cigarettes. Just this week I came across another interesting study that supports this conclusion. This research paper published in the Journal of the American Heart Association looked at the effects of prolonged time spent viewing television and its relation to mortality (death). The study was done in Australia and assessed over 20,000 adults following their health/lifestyle choices for a period of 6 years. The results were very interesting. Through questionnaires and health assessments the researchers divided up all of the participants into 3 groups. The first group were the people who watched television for less than 2 hours, a second group watched 2-4 hours, and the third group spent more than 4 hours per day in front of the TV. Through the questionnaires and health assessments researchers then statistically eliminated the traditional risk factors such as smoking, cholesterol, blood pressure and diet in relation to overall risk of death.

What was discovered should be very alarming to anyone who spends time sitting for long periods, especially in front of the TV. They found that for every hour sit-

ting watching TV, the risks of death increased by 11-18%. For people watching over 4 hours of TV per day, there was a 46% increase in the risk of death from all causes and an alarming 80% increased risk of death due to cardiovascular disease! The conclusion of this study?

Prolonged periods of sitting and not exercising are now proven to reduce your quality of life through increased rates of serious diseases.

This, in turn, eventually leads to an earlier exit from this world. I find the numbers in this study particularly disturbing due to the sedentary lifestyle our children lead these days. Gaming, computers, and DVD movies have become an “accepted” form of entertainment in most households; the outcome of this sedentary lifestyle is going to result in serious health challenges for this generation’s youth unless we are willing to make radical lifestyle changes. We are extremely fortunate to live in such a beautiful region surrounded by endless recreation opportunities so turn off the TV, computer, X-Box and Nintendo.

Get outside, and do something... anything. Shortening your time in a chair or on the sofa will literally save your life! For more healthy lifestyle advice contact Dr. Warren Gage at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

Surveillance Nurses offer help via phone

Six months into the new Surveillance Nurse program within Interior Health, remote telephone checks are having a positive influence and helping independent seniors stay at home longer.

“This program is a great example of a simple idea that has a big impact,” said Sharon Whitby, Home Health Practice Lead for Interior Health. “The Surveillance Nurses help clients remain in their own homes and avoid hospital

Tina Pole is one of Interior Health’s new Surveillance Nurses.

admissions. These are great achievements for both clients and the health care system. We know most people prefer to stay in their own home to self-manage when they are able.”

The focus is on stable long-term Home Health clients. Surveillance Nurses phone them to see how they are doing at least once every three months and more if required. Clients may also call the nurse when they have questions or need assistance. The program’s goal is to identify any issues as soon as possible, to help ensure these independent clients continue to do well living at home.

“The regular calls ensure we are being proactive and supporting clients so they continue to be lower needs for as long as possible,” said Whitby. “For example they may need encouragement to increase their activity level, to socialize more, or to quit smoking. Or they may benefit from other support services,” said Whitby.

Surveillance Nurses are currently located in: Williams Lake; Kamloops;

Vernon; Kelowna; Penticton; Cranbrook; and Castlegar. They support approximately 280 clients. As the program grows, they will continue to expand their reach across the health authority.

“The first phone call is usually the most crucial. It’s quite amazing how quickly we can develop a rapport with our clients over the phone,” said Tina Pole, one of the seven Surveillance Nurses. “We are able to find out what supports they have from family or friends and how they are going to be able to maintain or improve their health.”

“In the beginning I didn’t really know how this would work,” said Pole. “Now that I’ve been doing this for a few months, I feel I am making a difference in their lives. Some clients don’t need me as much as another client might, but they really appreciate when I connect with them over the phone. Just knowing someone is checking in on them and is interested in their health makes them feel safe at home.”

Raising a toast at the new Mount Baldy trail opening

Partners gathered from around the Shuswap Thursday to celebrate the official opening of the new Mount Baldy hiking trail just west of Sorrento.

And they did it in style!

Crannog Ales, whose award-winning organic farm brewery is just next door to the new trail, hosted a reception following the official ribbon cutting.

“Trails like this help people learn about the natural places they live and why it’s important to take care of it,” said Rebecca Kneen, co-owner of the brewery.

The Mount Baldy trail is the latest addition to the South Shuswap’s impressive parks and trails system, built in partnership with the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Parks and Recreation program, the Shuswap Trail Alliance, and the Sorrento and Area

Community Association. The 4.5 kilometres of trail include an impressive lookout over the South Shuswap and a beautiful upper loop alongside pockets of trembling aspen forest.

Jay Scholton, with the Sorrento and Area Community Association, was honoured during the ribbon cutting ceremony for his leadership championing the trail project. “It just exceeds my expectation,” said Jay, who acknowledged not being sure it would be possible when they were first proposing the idea. “The real thanks needs to go to the Shuswap Trail Alliance crew and volunteers who did all the work,” said Jay. CSRD Parks team leader Marcin Pachcinski acknowledged the leadership of the Area C Parks Commission, as well as the partnership with the

Shuswap Trail Alliance and local volunteers which is making the regional trail system possible.

The trails place within Secwepemc territory was also acknowledged.

CSRD Parks worked with Secwepemc leadership and an archeologist to ensure the path avoids impacting areas of cultural importance.

Following the ribbon cutting at the trailhead, the celebrations moved over to the nearby Crannog Ales farm. The Mount Baldy lookout is visible from the brewery’s lawns, so together everyone raised a toast in thanks to Crannog Ales’ hospitality and to the new trail and all the partners who worked so hard together.

YOU CAN FORWARD JACK BOWERS’ STORY If you were fascinated by the article in last week’s column about Jack Bowers’ three cardiac arrests, as I was when I wrote it, you can forward it to friends. Go to www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca, click on Sidewalk Superintendent, and scroll to August 22. If you’d like his picture, write me at sallys1@telus.net PLEASE DO NOT RESUSCITATE ME This is a reminder to everyone, if I stop breathing and look quite dead, do not apply CPR or use paddles to zap me. I’ve had a good life and am ready to leave it. I downloaded a No Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation form from the internet, filled it, had my substitute decision-maker sign it, had my doctor sign it, and distributed copies to a few people. I have two copies in my purse, one copy with my car’s ICBC insurance form, and a copy in a blue vial in my freezer.

The form can be found at www.health.gov.bc.ca MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR CHRIS LIND There will be a memorial service and interment of ashes for Chris Lind, former executive director of Sorrento Centre on Sunday, August 31st at 2:30 p.m. at Sorrento Centre. Chris died of an inoperable brain tumour on July 11 at the age of 61.

A LOVED ONE SHOULD STAY IN EMERGENCY WHILE STAFF TRIES TO REVIVE SOMEONE Emergency room doctors in a Calgary hospital have started a trend they hope will spread to other hospitals.

They have family members stay with their loved one while staff works, rather than sitting anxiously in the waiting room. The patient needs to hear the voice of the loved one, and have the forehead stroked, and the hand held. Recovery and resuscitation is quicker, they say.

DO NOT USE ASPIRIN TO PREVENT HEART DISEASE The Federal Drug Administration in the U.S. advises doctors to stop recommending daily aspirin to prevent heart disease because it causes problems in the stomach and can cause bleeding in the brain. Only a few select patients will benefit from daily aspirin.

NEW EXIT TO FERRY; PAYING BRIDGE TOLL As I drove to Burnaby on the Trans Canada Highway recently, I looked for the new exit to the Tsawassen ferry terminal. Many kilometres before the exit, an overhead sign showed how full the various sailings were. And then I saw the exit, clearly marked to the ferry and airport, just before the Port Mann bridge.

As I drove over the new bridge, I looked for the cameras that took a picture of the licence plate of every vehicle that uses the bridge. I couldn’t see them. Perhaps it was a good thing. If they were visible, someone might smash them. Overhead were several messages that said we could get a low rate for the toll if we paid within seven days. I followed the instructions: go to TreO.ca. I clicked on a sketch of my vehicle, a car, and saw the rate was $3. I typed my licence plate and paid $6 by charge card. If I had chosen to wait for an invoice, a licence plate processing fee of $2.30 per trip would have been added.

Very efficient bridge and very efficient toll collection.

HANEY HERITAGE VILLAGE EVENT ON AUG. 31 A family fun event on Sun., Aug. 31st starts with burgers and beer at 4 p.m. followed by stories at 5:30 p.m. with storyteller James Murray. The Red Mollies, a local

CANADA POST IS MAKING CHANGES Chase and Salmon Arm will see downsizing of their post office as a way of saving money. Because the Chase post office has so few customers on Saturdays, it will probably open weekdays only. In Salmon Arm, three employees are retiring in 2015 and no one knows if they will be replaced. Fewer letters are being sent because a lot of business is conducted online.

I’M TIRED OF CBC RADIO’S VINYL CAFÉ STORIES Stuart McLean will be in Kelowna on October 23 and his Christmas tour will bring him to Vernon on Nov. 25.

Usually I promote him, but this summer I am so tired of his stories on CBC radio that I will let you find information at www.vinylcafe.ca. I listen to CBC in my car, and somehow he is always on, so I switch him off.

U.S. TRAINING MANUAL NAMED THEM CHEMTRAILS In 1990, a U.S. Air Force chemistry training manual coined the phrase chemtrails, according to an article by Bernie Suarez in Activist Post.

FIRST ATTEMPT AT MAKING DILL PICKLES This year I made a pint of dill pickles. First time. When I was a child on a Saskatchewan farm, my Ukrainian mother filled a wooden barrel with cucumbers, added brine and spices, and let them become pickles. Later she packed them into two-quart sealers and we had enough to last us through the winter. My brother and I would put our hands in the barrel and get the cucumbers that were just turning. They were so good!

I studied Ukrainian cookbooks and found a recipe that was easy: cucumbers, garlic and dill packed in a jar, and hot water and salt poured over them. I wanted to eat the kind of vegetables my brother and I pulled out of the wooden barrel. That’s what I enjoyed, not a cucumber and not a pickle, just a delicious crunchy tiny vegetable from the farmers’ market. They were consumed in two days.

MONSANTO LOST ITS GM PERMIT IN YUCATÁN The Guardian in England announced that a judge in Mexico has revoked Monsanto’s permit to plant genetically engineered soy in the Yucatán peninsula. The permit was protested by many groups, but it took scientific evidence to convince the judge to cancel Monsanto’s permit.

The judge wrote that the GM soy posed a threat to the honey industry of the Yucatan because the presence of pollen from GM plants would make it much harder to sell honey in Europe. The honey producers of the Yucatan sell almost exclusively to the E.U. The appeals process is ongoing.

OVER 1,000 BC KIDS WAIT TO BE ADOPTED Have you thought about adding to your family? There is a child in BC just waiting for you’re your invitation.

The children hope to find their Forever Family.

I know a retired couple in Salmon Arm who adopted two boys aged 11 and 12. Their grown children thought they were out of their minds! But the boys kept them young. They brought a new focus to their relationship.

The boys are now grown and out on their own.

In April 2014, the provincial government found $2 million to clear the backlog of prospective adoptive fam-

ilies. And the provincial court has been paving the way for making more of the over 8,000 child welfare kids eligible for adoption. Their chances at being adopted before they age out of the provincial foster care system aren’t good, according to a new report.

Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, B.C.’s first Representative for Children and Youth, encourages more families to consider adopting kids and being open to adopting older children: 80 per cent of the kids eligible for adoption today are five or older NON-CAUCASIAN BABIES AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION Florida mothers who put their black babies up for adoption are increasingly choosing Canada in hopes they won’t suffer from racism. Growing numbers of Florida mothers wishing to place their African-American or mixed-race children up for adoption like Canada’s parental-leave benefits, saying that will mean their babies have a better chance of bonding with their new parents. They go through the Ottawa-based international adoption agency Children’s Bridge. 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.

Landscape art On Sunday, a new piece of art was created on Sunnybrae-Canoe Point Road. Fourteen-year-old Rianna Smyth from Alberta painted the image of a girl on a burnt stump remaining from the fire in 2009, in response to her grandmother Edna Thorsen saying that she could see a girl on one side and an eagle on the other side of the stump. Rianna found the task difficult to complete due to the summer heat, limited resources, and the location of the stump, but she was able to bring the image alive for all to see before returning to Alberta.

voice back to constituents. We are Better Together.” With a federal election expected in 2015, Jacqui says her focus over the next six months will be to meet with people in the North Okanagan-Shuswap and develop a better sense of their priorities and concerns — an effort she has already started to undertake. “People I have spoken with across our riding have shared with me their concerns about the environment, about jobs, and about our future,” says Jacqui. “Based on the federal Conservatives’ many recent debacles, we have a strong case to make for change– we can’t continue in the same

way and expect different outcomes.” Jacqui lives with her spouse and two children on a self-sustaining property near Falkland. She is a tenured professor at Ryerson University in Toronto. “Like so many other Canadians, my work takes me away from home; my heart, however, remains in the North Okanagan-Shuswap.”

She encourages conversation and welcomes questions, comments and good old-fashioned discussion in person, via Twitter and Facebook, or over the phone.

The North OkanaganShuswap riding was created with the 2012 redistribution of Federal Electoral Districts and includes about 112,000 residents in the cities of Vernon, Salmon Arm and Armstrong,

A BIG THANK YOU

Things I learned from my kids (and Duma) this summer

Did you look at the calendar this morning? Yes, summer is slowly coming to an end, which means it’s time to do my annual recap of all the things I learned over the summer from my kids and in some cases Duma the cat. If some of them don’t make sense it just means you didn’t read one of my articles over the last few months. Shame on you!

So without further ado, here is this year’s list.

1. If you are having trouble staying motivated during a run; think of pancakes. According to my eight-year-old, “they’ll help you push through the pain” when you are feeling tired.

2. Be sure to brush your teeth in front of your kids once in a while. If you don’t, they’ll steal your toothbrush because they think you never use it.

3. Just because you’re small doesn’t mean you can’t tackle the largest of tasks. In the case of Duma, it meant tackling the largest of prey (redtailed hawk).

4. What looks like a chicken from a distance may in fact be a large hawk. So just because the mob of kids you’re playing with are running wildly towards the chicken, doesn’t mean you should.

Instead, slow down and check it out for yourself before proceeding.

mallarkey

by Daron Mayes 5. Standing on your head and trying to drink milk at the same time won’t necessary help you grow more, but it’ll definitely make a mess.

6. Number 6 or perhaps 5b is to not take everything your cousin says as the truth. He probably just read it on the internet!

7. Never wear white shorts to church and always open root beer with caution when it’s handed to you by an 8-year-old.

8. The most important thing about having laser vision isn’t that you can blast a hole through concrete or heat water to 100 degrees. It is so that you can kill weeds without having to bend.

9. If you have a caterpillar problem, the most important thing to remember is to NOT wear your leaf pajamas to bed!

Obviously the summer has been eventful, as I’ve run out of space and I still have more items for my list. I guess there are a lot of things my kids and cat need to teach me. You’ll have to come back next week to find out the rest!

To our local businesses and organizations who provided Welcome Items and other support in so many ways, for the 2014 International Legion Gavel Passing event - THANK YOU

Ground-breaking ceremony for new casino On Monday morning Adams Lake Indian Band members, representatives from the Berezan Group, and UPA Construction had the official ground breaking for Chances Salmon Arm gaming centre.

“It usually takes 12 months for construction, but we’re hoping it will be done sooner,” says Ralph Berezan, owner of Berezan Management Ltd. Construction of the 22,000 square foot building at 10th Street SW and the Trans Canada Highway (where the GM dealership used to be) is slated to begin right away.

The Adams Lake Indian Band is leasing the property to Berezan.

Ralph says this project will benefit the Band not only through jobs during construction and when it is operational, but also through direct revenue.

“Because they’re the host government, they will receive money from BCLC (BC L o t t e r y Corporation) annually in addition from the rent they Adams Lake Indian Band Elder will receive from Joseph Johnny performed the bless- me,” says Ralph. ing ceremony.

Chances Salmon

Arm will have slot machines, bingo, a lounge, and restaurant. They estimate 60 permanent jobs once the gaming centre is running.

Ralph says BCLC did a study showing that many Salmon Arm residents go to Vernon and Kamloops for gaming. “Now they can stay closer to home.”

After some brief comments about the venture, Adams Lake Elder Joseph Johnny gave the blessing with burning sagebrush. He switched back and forth from English to Secwepemctsin (Shuswap) as he prayed for the land and all those who will walk the land.

Chief Nelson Leon says he is excited about this project that will bring economic benefits not only to Band members, but to the city and the entire area.

“This will make us significant players in the regional economy. It will provide employment and attract other visitors to Salmon Arm and the region.”

New ladies’ wear consignment store Janis Larson (above, left) and her sister Yvonne Phipps (right) opened a ladies’ consignment store in Sorrento called 7 Sisters Boutique. Although there’s only two sisters running the new shop it is dedicated to all seven women in their family for a reason.

“It’s called 7 Sisters because they all contributed something,” says Yvonne. “They all brought clothing and everyone helped open the store. Even Mom has some clothing here.”

Yvonne moved to Sorrento just a year ago after she retired from a 35-year career in the airline industry.

“I was a Service Director with Air Canada. A Service Director is the person in charge of the flight.”

But she found she wasn’t quite ready to retire completely. At the same time, her sister, Janis, was ready for a career change.

Find challenging AD work with 7X2 leadership opportunities

“I moved here seven years ago from Calgary. I was doing dental hygiene for 29 years, and I wanted to do something different. Yvonne and I kept talking about looking for something to do.”

The boutique might be a new venture for them, but it stems from a family tradition.

“We were always raiding each other’s closets and we dressed alike. We like the same things,” says Yvonne.

Janis is the principle owner as Yvonne spends her winters in the sunnier climes of Arizona.

Ladies may bring their clothing for consignment any time during regular hours, and no appointment is necessary.

“We limit the items to about 25-30. The clothing has to be laundered and clean, folded and in good shape,” says Janis. “We look for clothing that is of good quality, only gently used and fashionable.”

Ladies who bring their clothes in sign a contract. It’s a 60-40 split (60 for the store), and they keep items up to 90 days.

“We have sizes from x-small to plus sizes. We’re very pleased to have the larger sizes and we do have lots of jeans and smaller sizes for teenagers,” says Yvonne.

They will be accepting fall consignment after the Labour Day Weekend.

The boutique is located at 1255 Trans Canada Highway, under the antique store beside Shaw in Sorrento.

To contact them call 778-490-4744 or find them online at facebook.com/7SistersBoutique.

New music store Music Man is a new music store but its owner, John Guilbeault, is well known in the area as he has over 30 years of retail experience including owning and operating Blue Water Music Ltd. for many years.

Music Man is a full line musical instrument store which offers lessons, repairs, rentals, commercial P.A. installs, THX/Dolby Home designs and installs, a recording studio, live entertainment and (soon) a coffee shop.

Ian Hill will be teaching guitar and bass lessons and Darlene Clark will be teaching piano/keyboard.

Last year we had printed a photo of then-four-year-old water skier Skylan DeSantis, and this year his grandfather Carl DeSantis sent in another photo of him, saying that this year he has learned how to slalom ski. Carl says that Skylan absolutely loves Shuswap Lake, and really enjoys spending time waterskiing.

DesignDilemmas

Cabinet refacing

Let’s suppose you like the layout of your kitchen cabinets; you like the cupboard arrangement; the depth of the shelves works for you and all your pots and pans fit the below-counter storage just fine.

But you are tired as can be of the surface. Maybe you have the old standby oak, or perhaps the mahogany stain is getting tired. And let’s add on the fact that your budget just doesn’t have room for new cabinets. Sure, you can probably paint the whole shebang, if that’s the look you want. But if you want a wood finish you are stuck–unless you look into cabinet refacing.

Refacing involves replacing the doors and drawer fronts (and sometimes the whole drawer), updating the hardware and applying matching veneer to the box of the cabinets; at a starting point of about half the cost of all new.

(Veneer is a thin layer of material adhered to another surface).

Now before you get all knotted about “applying veneer,” think about the advancements in adhesives in just the last few years.

Engineered wood floors are veneers applied to other wood.

Some doors have veneer surfaces; veneers are used extensively in furniture construction and many new kitchen cabinets are veneered.

Arborite kitchen counters are a

type of veneer.

So, with your mind in the open position, back to refacing. The advantages: new-look cabinets at about half the cost. You can still use your kitchen; the cabinets don’t have to be torn out because veneer is applied in-home. Less stuff goes to the landfill. You can choose from a plethora of surfaces; refacing isn’t limited to wood veneer. Remember, the drawer fronts and doors are replaced; the new architectural style starts there.

Refacing limitations: Refacing can’t fix bad kitchen design. It will not change the shape or size of your cabinets. It won’t fix a warped or rotted base. It won’t fix a broken frame.

As with many home reno projects you could tackle this one yourself, saving about half again, but this isn’t a starter project. If your DIY skills are advanced, go for it; otherwise, hire a professional. Ask for references and check them out. Ask about their insurance. One big-box retailer offers this as a service; their people work under the umbrella of the large corporation so you have added protection there.

When I put this on my website next week, I’ll add some before and after pictures of refaced kitchens. Designsewlutions.ca

Sockeye fishing

We live in a region blessed with so many outdoor activities available to pursue. Trout fishing on most of the local lakes will again pick up as fall approaches and temperatures cool. Chinook salmon are now in the Shuswap River, with lots of anglers at pool sites, Enderby bridge, and out on Mabel Lake.

I recall doing many compliance checks on anglers on the lake, with the honey hole being the most popular.

It’s a deep thermocline 90 foot deep spot, along the west shore, to what we called the ‘Dairy Queen’ cottage (yellow with red roof).

On a cool early morning, a young lad of 7 years had a salmon on.

His dad watched intently as the boy struggled with the rod and reel.

Dad then took over, landing the salmon into their net, and then into the boat. I let them bonk it. They then let out line, to continue to fish, as the lad gleefully grinned, looking at his

SALMON ARM FAIR

prize. It was then I came along side, and beckoned the Dad over. (He was his son’s hero)! I quietly explained that being from Alberta (non-resident), the lad’s catch would go on his license, and it must be recorded.

On the river pools, salmon snaggers were a constant problem, as they worked at night. The swish of heavy line in the night air, and salmon on the shore rocks, with a treble hook in its side or tail, was our key to dash out from close by, grab the salmon before it was heaved back into the pool, and nab the perpetrators. There were lots of chases through the bush after the ‘bad guys.’ I think the Mounties enjoyed a few of those chases too!

I recall diving into the ‘Chucks pool’ and swimming out to grab a black plastic-bagged salmon that the two snaggers had thrown into the mist-shrouded water one early morning, then having to dive down to retrieve my still-lit flashlight off the bottom. A week of salmon-snagging hell soon followed. It involved Cooke Creek pool, and two families from Calgary. One group was in a large

motor home, with teenagers trained to sound the vehicle horn when we entered the campsite with our vehicle. They posted lookouts upriver, when they went across to the bluff on the other side to snag. As the morning sun came over the mountain, salmon

could be seen from above. They would snag a Chinook, reset the hook into the mouth, bonk the fish, then bring it across to shore. At night they played the same game, drifting down river to shore with their large springs.

They would have wives and teens snoop us out of surveillance locations, as we recorded activities. Crossing the river at Potrie’s Slough in a canoe, I slashed a trail over the mountain, and down through heavy bush, close to the pool. Next, a video camera recorded who foul-hooked what salmon, along with time and pertinent notes.

The climax came when, drifting to the campsite shore in the dark with two snagged salmon, Officer Neil Jensen and I grabbed

the boat, jerking it ashore as the bad guys tumbled backward off their seats, and we grabbed the fish, line, and rods!

Many local anglers enjoy fishing the South Thompson River pools as the 151 run of Chinook are now in.

Banana Island and Hoffman Bluff are the popular location choices. At Banana Island: Anchor off, let the roe bag settle to the bottom, using a bell weight to side. Pick up any slack line. Hoffman Bluff: anchor off just above the pool. Drift in, let the roe bag down on downrigger cable and release clip, trailing about eight feet of line and roe. Go to the bottom with a cannonball.

Bounce bottom (39 feet) and come up 4 feet. Pick up the slack, and then hang on.

Little Shuswap Lake: Most anglers troll FST spoons, outside the buoys at the golf course.

There are two very deep holes where chinooks hang out a quarter mile north of the green can buoy at the mouth of Little River. Find them on your finder, and troll through often. Note: all this information will cost each angler $10

Here and there in the Shuswap With hunting season just around the corner, it’s time to bone up on the regulations and sight in that rifle.

Members of the Salmon Arm Fish and Game Club and guests are doing just that these days at our new range. In an upcoming column, I’ll bring you the big game/bird outlook for our region.

While many hunters and anglers take each season for granted, there are those in the Chase/Salmon Arm/ Barriere/Kamloops/ Merritt clubs who meet every three months to discuss many major issues pertaining to our wildlife and fish.

We come away from those meetings with reams of notes and documents from government officials in the Ministry of Environment/Fish and Wildlife: Why they don’t have funding for this; no money for that study (Chase sheep habitat improvement); access issues; fish farm regulation changes; Native affairs; mining issues like the Ruddock Creek mine proposal; parks and wilderness...

The list goes on.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, everything evolves around the buck and staffing levels. The invasive yellow perch eradication program could have started when they were in just a few lakes, but there was no funding and rotenone licences had expired.

Zebra mussels boat inspection stations.

Washington, Montana, Oregon, Idaho and Alberta all run inspection programs, and are supposed to inform the BC government if any are detected. So far, eight boats checked had been found to harbour mussels. BC’s Minister says they are watching closely with no action taken to combat the situation.

Meanwhile, get out for a hike, bike ride, visit a friend, and best of all, enjoy our wonderful Shuswap!

Bryozoans in Mara Lake

An interesting and unusual-looking creature has recently been spotted in Mara Lake. Bryozoans – also known by their common name “Moss Animals” – are microscopic freshwater organisms that live and grow in colonies. Large colonies of them have recently been spotted in the water near Swansea Point.

Biologists at the BC Ministry of Environment are assuring the public that although the colonies are unusual-looking, they are harmless: not poisonous, toxic, or predatory. Additional sampling and analysis will help them understand why the colonies are so large this year.

“CSRD Eurasian water milfoil harvesting operators reported seeing hundreds of colonies along the east shore of Mara Lake. They are growing attached to the milfoil plants,” said Hamish Kassa, Environmental Services Coordinator for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

“The bryozoan colonies that were spotted in Mara Lake are quite large, some as big as 70 cm long. They looks like gelatinous antler-like structures,” said Erin Vieira, program manager for the Shuswap Watershed Council, a collaborative partnership of local governments, first nations, local stewardship groups and the Province of BC, with a mandate for maintaining and improving water quality.

Bryozoan colonies grow attached to an object in the water, such as a rock, plant, or piling. Most species of bryozoa form in spring, grow throughout the summer and fall when they reach their largest size and become noticeable to people, and then die away in winter. Some colonies grow in rounded, jellylike masses; others resemble antlers or mosses. Bryozoans are filter feeders, eating other microscopic organisms as they drift by in the water. Other animals such as fish and insects are known to eat bryozoans.

THE TERRY FOX RUN FOR CANCER RESEARCH

The Terry Fox Run A single dream. A world of hope.

Sunday, September 14, 2014. Registration 9-10am at Blackburn Park.

2 km, 4 km & 10 km - Walk, Bike, Run, Bring your Dog on a leash.

Terry Fox was raised in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. An active teenager involved in many sports, Terry was only 18 years old when he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) and forced to have his right leg amputated above the knee in 1977.

While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients, many of them young children, that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.

He would call his journey the “Marathon of Hope”. The people who look for the possibilities in an impossible task often make the difference, and Terry Fox was one of those people.

This year marks the 34th annual Terry Fox Run and volunteers are needed to help organize and execute the Run in the Salmon Arm community. Volunteers are needed for various Run day duties for this meaningful cause, as the Run is fast approaching.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for the Terry Fox Run in Salmon Arm, please contact Cliff and Fran Evans by email at evafc@shaw.ca or by phone at 250-804-0376.

The Runs are non-competitive and all inclusive; the registration fee is by donation and there is no minimum pledge amount. For more information about The Terry Fox Run Foundation, visit www.terryfox.org or bcyukon@terryfoxrun.org As a volunteer or as a Run participant, join us on September 14th in the fight to find a cure.

Argentinian fires up Jazz Club

The Salmon Arm Jazz Club begins its fall season on Thursday, September 11 at Shuswap Chefs Restaurant (banquet room), 7:00–9:00 p.m. with the Gabriel Palatchi Band.

Gabriel Palatchi was born on August 3, 1982 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the age of 8, he started his first piano lessons.

He then went on to study classical music at the conservatory Manuel de Falla school in Argentina. His studies led him to a Musical Production degree from the ORT High School.

He further expanded his studies with a degree in music from the Berklee international School from Argentina. During this time he studied under many great maestros of Blues, Tango, Jazz and Latin Jazz such as Alvaro Torres, Ricardo Nole and Ernesto Jodos.

After graduating in 2008, he packed up his piano and started to travel to expand on his musical studies and experiences.

It was in Cuba where he met and studied with several maestros including the master “Chucho” Valdez. He continued his travels to Mexico, where he continued to expand on his musical studies and experience.

These travels continue today.

Gabriel’s experiences led to the composition and production of

his first solo CD entitled “Diario de Viaje” (Travel Diary). On this CD, he has gathered the musical arrangements from over 20 accomplished musicians from Latin America. With deep roots in Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz, he has fused together an original sound and style of music that includes tango, Arabian, salsa, funk and electronic.

For the last two years, the Gabriel Palatchi Band has toured throughout various parts of Argentina, Mexico and Canada, performing at important venues and international music festivals including the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Victoria International Jazz Festival, Quebec International Jazz Festival, Waterloo International Jazz Festival, Victoria Tango Festival, Kaslo Jazz Festival, Starbelly Jam Music Festival, Puerto Morelos Music Festival, Caribbean Days Festival,

Fiestaval Latin Festival and Central Music Festival among others. The promotional tour for “Diario de Viaje” (travel diary), has been incredibly successful, creating a buzz in each local music scene that the band visits.

After the release of “Diario de Viaje” in 2010, the album was chosen as one of the best Latin Jazz albums of the year by JAZZ FM Toronto 91.1. The album is being played on several radio stations all over the world from Alaska through to South America, Europe and the Middle East and even as far as Australia.

It has been reviewed and featured on the Latin Jazz Network, Ejazznews, Rolling Stone Magazine, The Toronto Star, Salsa Son Timba Colombia, Newstime South Africa, and Inside World Music, among many others.

Currently Gabriel is based between Canada (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal), Mexico (Caribbean and Mexico City) and Argentina (Buenos Aires).

Once again, catch him locally on Thursday, September 11 at Shuswap Chefs, 551 Trans Canada Highway. Doors open at 6:30, with music starting at 7:00 p.m. Admission is by donation.

There is a special tapas menu available for the banquet room, or come earlier and have dinner in the restaurant.

Paws to the pavement

Some animals never know kindness. The good news is, you can fight animal cruelty in your community by registering and fundraising for the 2014 Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk, held each September to raise funds for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals throughout B.C. This year, participants in 31 communities throughout the province will walk to raise funds to help animals in need across British Columbia.

The Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk to fight animal cruelty in Shuswap will be held at Blackburn Park on Saturday, Sept. 6 from 9:30 a.m. with the walk starting at 10:45 a.m.

Proceeds from the Shuswap walk will benefit animals at the Shuswap SPCA. Participants can enjoy a variety of entertainment and fun activities, including agility demonstrations with the opportunity for participant dogs to try it out themselves, top fundraising prizes, and the festivities of the Salmon Arm Fall Fair parade.

Generously supported by the BC SPCA’s local sponsors – Okanagan Pet Cremation, EZ Rock 91.5, Salmon Arm Observer, Integrity Roofing, Tina Cosman RE/MAX Shuswap, and Jacobson Ford – the event brings animal lovers and their furry friends from all walks of life together for a great time as well as a fantastic cause.

“This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in British Columbia,” says Krista Constantineau, manager of fundraising events at the BC SPCA. “We are overwhelmed by the amazing participation each year – it’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals.

Our supporters not only raise essential funds, the events are so much fun for two-legged and fourlegged participants.”

Thank you to our provincial sponsors: Scotiabank, Petsecure Pet Health Insurance, PwC, Global BC, CKNW AM 980, Classic Rock 101, and TV Week.

TUFFY

My name is TUFFY and I am a Pure Bred "Silverback" ShihTzu. I live with my Mom, my 2 cats Sarah and Cleo and my brother Pepper who drives me crazy! He is only 2 years old and I am 10 and he tries to wear me out playing ball and tug of war. He also barks too much but is getting better.

Sometimes my Mom lets me sit on her lap to get some peace and quiet while we watch hockey. We go with a friend's Shih Tzu, BJ for walks in McGuire Lake Park and sniff to see who has been there before us. We don't chase the ducks because Mom gets mad. Mom make us special homemade treats which we get if we are good. I am good most of the time so I get lots of treats. We do NOT give any to our cats!

"Kisser"

PEPPER

My name is PEPPER and I am so cute my owner gives me hugs and kisses every morning and I hug and kiss her back. I am a Shih Tzu with a tiny little bit of Spaniel- which I guess accounts for my cute eyes, nose and face. I love to play with my 2 cats, Cleo and Sarah, my brother Tuffy, a Shih Tzu and my friend's Shih Tzu, BJ. I have to admit that I bark too much but we are working on that and my owner is very patient with me. We go for walks at McGuire Lake Park and we "read the newspaper " to see who has been there before us. If we are very good our Mom gives us yummy homemade peanut butter treats!

"Dad's dog"

BJ

My name is BJ, a Pure Bred Shih Tzu and I live with my Daddy. He takes me for lots of long walks to the beach and in the forest. We visit a friend of my Daddy's who has 2 cats (that I LOVE to chase) and 2 dogs: Pepper, a Shih Tzu crossed with Spaniel who loves to bark his head off and Tuffy, a Pure Bred "Silverback" Shih Tzu who loves to watch hockey. We all love to walk in McGuire Lake Park with my Daddy and their Mom. She gives us special tasty homemade treats if we are good. But NOT if I jump up and bark at the TV, which I can do all day! I am getting better and do not do that so much because it makes my Daddy really mad but he still loves me a lot anyway.

SPORTS & LEISURE Horseshoe club hosts regional tournament

By Faith Juell The Salmon Arm Horseshoe Club held its annual tournament on the August 23-24th weekend under sunny skies. Over thirty people participated over the two days.

Both mornings started off with a hearty pancake breakfast cooked by Edwin and Clarence. Lunches and snacks were served during the day by volunteer cooks and bakers. Thank

you ladies!

Saturday’s pitching had single play in eight different mix classes. In H mix, Ted Honkala came in first, with Dan Smith second. In G mix with our local ladies playing, Marlene Marshall came first, and Dee Smith came second. Jack Johnson placed second to Kevin Scallon’s first in mix F class; while Edwin Krieg placed second to Cindy

Helgeson’s first in C class. In classes A and B, local members Matt Honkanen and Lyle Cutler both placed first.

Competitors traveled from Summerland, Ashcroft, Golden, Castlegar, and points in between. The club with the most members attending was Kamloops, with eight participants.

On Sunday, 14 members remained for mix doubles play, with a lot of fun being had by all. The grand winning team was Jenna John (Kamloops) and Tom Ingebrigtson, Salmon Arm; following a playoff wtih Matt Honkanen and Marlene Marshall placing second. The team of Jack Johnson and Marcie Norquay placed third. Those who lost a few games were pleased to receive loonies for their losses.

The annual Bike for Your Life Bicycle Tour started in 1998 with the aim of promoting a healthy lifestyle, family solidarity, and community involvement through a fun cycling event in which all ages and abilities could participate. This is the 17th year the community bicycle ride has been held in

Salmon Arm. The ride’s four bike routes are designed to be safe and fun.

Whether you have never ridden a bike before, or you are an endurance cyclist, join in.

Everyone is welcome!

This is not a racing event.

The emphasis is on participation, rather than time, to make

it fun for an individual or family. Enjoy the company of fellow cyclists. Ride with your friends.

The registration fee ($25 for adults, $50 for families, $5 for children 18 and under) includes Aid Station refreshments, a BBQ lunch of DeMille’s and Pedro Gonzales’ roast corn, a BBQ hamburger with all the fixings, chocolate milk, fresh

fruit, Shuswap Lady Striders’ homemade cookies, coffee, water and live entertainment at the Blackburn Park start/finish.

You will have a chance to win some great draw prizes at the post-ride bikers’ celebration, including a ‘Specialized’ bike supplied by Chris Emel at Ridetech Enterprises, Salmon Arm. Event proceeds will again be given to Salmon Arm’s Second Harvest Food Bank. Over the past two years the event has contributed $8300 to this worthy cause.

For more ride information go to the event website at www.bikeforyourlife.com/registration.html You can register for the 10K route by printing off and completing your own event registration form and dropping off at one of the four local businesses listed on the website, or call Registrar Ian Wickett at 250-833- 2889.

A huge thank you goes out to the many event sponsors (www. bikeforyourlife.com/sponsors. html) and dedicated volunteers who support this event.

The deadline for all Classified Display Ads is Tuesday at noon.

DESIGNATED INSPECTION FACILITY

Making the seemingly impossible possible is one of the many strengths of Steelewood. As a one-stop shop from design to completion, Steelewood creates incredible structures, often under challenging conditions that other builders and architects wouldn't even consider. After many years in the Eagle Bay area of Shuswap Lake, building on difficult, often impassable sites, has become the norm for this small family run business. Tim Mascarenhas, along with his partner and young son, have lived and worked in the Shuswap for over 8 years now. They, along with their foreman Andrew Schmidt, can help you create your perfect summer retreat or full time home.

With years of experience between them, there can be no challenge too big or too small for them to overcome. They can renovate your existing structure and turn it into the home of your dreams; it is incredibly simple to install that new kitchen you have been dreaming about. How about a fabulous new deck to sit on and take in those breathtaking Shuswap sunsets? "We are all about diversification"; to keep production strong, they offer a variety of services over and above design and construction. They build roads, landscape, excavate and install septic systems. Their clients are important to them and they are "always looking out for our clients’ best interest.

We want them to be well informed and know their options so they can make educated decisions". It is a big investment for people and they need to feel trust in their builder. With the more information they gain, the more comfortable the process becomes. Steelewood owns their own excavator 220 and bobcat to make it easier to get materials into the rugged rough terrain around Eagle Bay. They can then do everything from building the driveway, to digging out the foundation, to putting in the cable, water, electricity and septic fields, which in the end saves on costs. Tim is often found on site in the excavator with his 4-year-old son Jaxson on his lap. Tim has a BA in Urban studies from the university of Calgary and a Master of Science with distinction from the University of Brunell in London, England.

With this background, Steelewood is able to offer a unique blend of architectural design and precisely engineered construction built to last for generations to come.

Letters to the Editor

A sad decline in species variety, numbers

When we moved to the ‘Little City’ of Enderby on the Shuswap River in the North Okanagan Valley 24 years ago, our property, just short of an acre on the hill on the west side of town, was literally teeming with four-legged creatures from tiny mice to huge bear, deer and moose. The trees, bushes and shrubbery pulsed with feathery friends of dozens of species from tiny hummingbirds that tapped on the kitchen window if their feeders weren’t hanging full of syrupy nectar by the 15th of April, all the way up to Woody the Woodpecker’s pileated pals, and even the odd eagle looking for a quick meal. The ground also crawled with garter snakes, robins, visiting flocks of evening grosbeaks two or three times a year and foraging slate-coloured juncoes that preferred the gravel driveway. High in the treetops singing their hearts out were house finches and goldfinches galore, a nesting family of colourful lazuli buntings, bohemian waxwings, and shy warblers of several varieties hidden in the forest canopy. There were swallows and flycatchers, Steller’s jays, cheerful chickadees and acrobatic nuthatches, sapsuckers, hairy and downy woodpeckers and their bigger cousins, the flickers. We have had as many as seven deer in our yard. To be honest, only one moose (though he was a big one), racoons, squirrels, single bears and bears with cubs. Yes I could go on…and on.

Oh…we have an apricot tree that usually blossoms early in the spring but it has not borne fruit for years because there are no bees to pollinate it, and I don’t have that much patience with a Q-Tip since apricots aren’t my favourite fruit anyway.

Today I could list the species we have eyeballed this year in, on and around our domain in one very short sentence. The only bird that graced our feeders this year was one crow. We had less than half the normal number of hummingbirds, although three different species were represented. I have not seen a deer even close to our address or a bear…..yet. The apples on our trees are just beginning to ripen but not one cherry was stolen by one bruin this season.

There simply are no songbirds and even the more common species that once populated our trees and bushes are nowhere to be seen or heard. No rufous-sided towhees jumping about in the bushes, no flickers drumming on our chimney, no robins nesting in the eaves, not a junco nor a house finch anywhere and only the odd chickadee. I have not seen a garter snake in a long time, no tree frogs or pond frogs and we do have a pond. We don’t have a cat.

Yes, there are pockets of pristine wilderness and areas one can locate where various contaminants and technologies do not interfere with nature, but is there any good reason why those of us who choose to live in urban areas that once vibrated with life must now endure the emptiness?

Can this dearth of living, breathing creatures be blamed on cell towers, smart meters, wi-fi, GMO crops with their lethal pesticides and all the other lethal and toxic pollutants mankind in his….oh sorry….and her infinite wisdom is proliferating upon the sanctity of the natural environment? We must be politically correct now, mustn’t we?

Well, you’re damn right this absence of resident species can be blamed on the human factor driven by the gods PROFIT and GREED. Ought we to hold our governments accountable, right from the municipal councils up to the feds?

You’re damn right we ought to, although to be fair, they seem to be powerless to do anything to save the day, since they are only puppets of the multi-national psychopaths to whom they bow and scrape and who are ultimately responsible for the homicidal death and criminal disappearance of these wonderful innocent beings with whom we once cohabited.

It’s a shame, a real damn shame, and a pretty sad commentary on the priorities of those who worship the gold standard. “All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful….” Lest we forget… uh-oh, we forgot!

Edgar Murdoch, Enderby

Evidence mounts for smart grid dangers

The incontrovertible evidence about the dangers of exposure to RF (radio frequencies/ electromagnetic fields/microwave radiation) continues to grow—and grow stronger.

Medicine Hat has suspended the Smart Meter program to investigate the fire safety issues. The Insurance Brokers Association of Alberta stated that the city could be held responsible for any fires resulting from smart meters. http://www.cjme.com/story/medicine-hat-follows-saskatchewan-pauses-smart-meter-program/397926 In the U.S., Portland recently experienced smart meter fires and will refit 70,000 residential meters. Philadelphia suspended its $650 million SM installation program in 2012.

Other dangers involve privacy and security vulnerabilities—the multiple means and motivations for hacking the smart grid are too numerous (and complicated) to go into here; but they are profitable (and simple) for ambitious hackers.

But most problematic, I think, are the health concerns: pulsed microwave radiation is associated with everything from cancer(s) to restless leg syndrome. Three recent epidemiological

studies (including CERENAT study from France published 2014) provide the strongest evidence that cell phones cause cancer. http://www.dnaindia.com/scitech/report-useof-cell-phones-increases-cancer-risk-2011557 Dr. Darius Leszczynski, Adjunct Professor, Division of Biochemistry and Biotechnology at the University of Helsinki, and a member of the 31 scientists constituted by the World Health Organization says that evidence is now sufficient to consider cell phone emissions as a 2A “probable carcinogen”-- an upgrade from the former 2B classification as a “possible carcinogen for humans.” See the 2012 Bioinitiative Report (A Rationale for Biologically-based Exposure Standards for Low-Intensity Electromagnetic Radiation). www.bioinitiative.org With regard to this unclear but present danger, as in so many other areas of public concern, we must challenge government’s unwillingness to protect its citizens. We can’t continue to allow big industry to self-regulate because its interests are only to its shareholders. We must make our levels of governments accountable for public health and safety.

Dr. Cedric Low

April 23, 1951 - August 18, 2014 It is with great sadness that the family of Dr. Cedric Low announces his passing on August 18, 2014, at the age of 63, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Cedric was born on April 23, 1951, in Uitenhage, South Africa. After the passing of his father at the age of 9 he, with his mother, grandmother, and siblings, moved to Hong Kong, China which acted as a stepping stone to their final home in Vancouver, Canada.

Cedric attended West Vancouver Secondary School before studying at the University of British Columbia, where he received his Doctorate of Dentistry in 1977. After graduation, Cedric moved to Salmon Arm to practice dentistry and in 1981 he married his beloved wife Pam. Cedric was a determined, thoughtful, compassionate, selfless, and hardworking man with a great sense of humour. He was dedicated to his family and placed them above his own needs. Similarly, he was exceptionally committed to his dental practice, patients, and staff. Being an athlete, he enjoyed many sports activities including tennis, wakeboarding, and skiing.

Cedric will be forever loved and missed by his wife, Pam; his sons, Jonathan (Sarb) and Christopher; his daughter, Rachel; his siblings, Dawn, Wendy, Roderick and Andrew as well as extended family.

He was predeceased by his parents, Ellen Low Ying Roets and Kum Chue Low Ying; his stepfather, Emmanuel Roets; and the family dogs, Benny and Jasper.

The family extends their sincere thanks to everyone who has offered love, caring thoughts and prayers over this past year.

A memorial for Cedric will take place at the First United Church in Salmon Arm, on Friday, August 29, 2014, at 10:00 am.

In lieu of flowers, and if so desired, donations may be made in Cedric’s memory to the BC Cancer Agency bccancerfoundation.com/waysdonate/gift-memory (Dr. Cedric Low’s memory page) or Shuswap Lake Hospital Foundation www.shuswaphospitalfoundation.org Online condolences can be sent through the following link: memoryleaf.net/cedric-dwight or through Cedric’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservices.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

JAKE SCHARTNER Denver Jacob Schartner was born on April 6, 1930, at Swalwell, Alberta to David and Mary Barkman Schartner. He unexpectedly passed away while visiting family and friends in Enderby, BC on Friday morning, August 15, 2014, at the age of 84.

A family prayer service was held from the chapel of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm, on Monday evening, August 11th, followed by the Funeral Service from the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, Gardom Lake Road, Enderby, on Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m. with Ministers Craig Thiessen and Robert Klassen officiating. Son in law, Myron Wiebe shared the eulogy. Pallbearers were Kyle Wiebe, Rick Wiebe, Jonathon Hoag, Jim Schartner, Bob Barnard & Bob Bartell. Honourary Pallbearers were: Melissa Schartner & Kate-Lynn Hoag.

Interment followed in Cliffside Cemetery, Enderby, with a luncheon back in the Church Hall.

Dad gave his heart to the Lord at the age of 12 and was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite in January of 1943. He remained faithful to his vows until the end.

Dad received his education at the Antler School, West of Linden. He spent the first 18 years of his life at Sunnyslope, Alberta, working on the family farm and at various other jobs.

In 1948, at the age of 18, he, with his family, moved to Abbotsford, BC. He spent a couple of years doing custom work for various farmers, moving on to work at Burn’s Meat Packing Plant, which helped develop Dad’s interest in the meat cutting business.

He found his life’s companion in Viola Wiebe. They were married on February 6, 1953, by her father, Minister Frank P. Wiebe. Their home was blessed with three daughters. They enjoyed 61 years of marriage.

Their first home was a little house in Aldergrove, BC, where they lived for a few years, before purchasing a place near Mt. Lehman, which he developed into a boiler farm. We have many happy memories growing up at the farm, going camping, having picnics, singing and socializing with family and friends.

In 1978, they moved to Enderby, BC, where Dad worked at pig farming, and later started a meat cutting business. In September 1984, they moved to Neilburg, Saskatchewan and purchased a hardware business. They enjoyed their years there. Dad and Mom moved back to Enderby in October of 1991. Dad was glad to be back in a more moderate climate and enjoyed having coffee with his many friends. As time progressed, their health needs increased and in November 2011, they moved to Ridge Valley Home, in Crooked Creek, AB. They spent almost three years there together, making more friends and enjoying their family. In August 2014, Dad and Mom made their last trip to Enderby BC, which was very close to their hearts. Before Dad’s passing, he expressed how happy he was to be back.

Dad was always a good provider for his family. He was fun loving and loved to tell a good story. Everyone was Dad’s friend. He always knew just how to put others at ease. Dad particularly enjoyed singing quartets with his friends. God gave him a special gift, which he loved to use, singing in his high tenor voice. Dad and Mom were hospitable and their door was always open. Dad often confessed his shortcomings to us as a family, teaching us by example to ask for forgiveness and to forgive.

Left to mourn are his loving wife, Viola; daughters, Marilyn Schartner of Rabbit Lake, SK, Ruth and Myron Wiebe of Neilburg, SK, and Janice and Rob Hoag of Heart Valley, AB. He has 11 grandchildren, Melissa Schartner, Kyle and Wendy Wiebe, Amanda Isaac, Tayla and Chad Stourac, Rick and Becky Wiebe, Kate-Lynn, Jonathan, Tanya, Zachary, Lacie and Ashlee Hoag; and six great grandchildren.

Sisters, Marianne Friesen, June and Rodger Fast, Sylvia Base, Annette and John Kelly and Lois and Jim Haig; brothers, John and Coreen Schartner, Sam and Grace Schartner; inlaws, Jocelyn Corraini, Helen Wiebe and Bert and Marlene Wiebe.

Predeceased by his parents, parents-in-law and two sisters, Evelyn Bartell and Ruby Hannis, and numerous in-laws.

She was creating this haven but her poor health stopped her.

Dianne is survived by her son Duane (Bev) Burk of Sorrento; two grandchildren, Cameron and Samantha; two great grandchildren, Jada and Kade Mayall; sisters Ruby Smith, Juanita Mayfield, Judith Kinloch, Geraldine Stanfill and Jeanette Shields; numerous nieces and nephews.

DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS

Public Notice Under Section 227 of the Community Charter TAKE NOTICE THAT the Council of the District of Sicamous will be considering Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 862, 2013 Amending Bylaw No. 882, 2014 for the following reasons and objectives: Purpose of the Bylaw and Amending Bylaw The original intent of Bylaw 862, 2013 remains unchanged; this amending Bylaw is to provide additional clarification to the Assessor.

Council wishes to establish a Revitalization Tax Exemption Program in the downtown commercial area of the District to assist businesses that are listed in the Revitalization Area defined in the Bylaw and were severely affected by flood damage to the District’s water system in 2012 to purchase private water filtration systems. The Amending Bylaw is providing additional information to the assessor to achieve the same objectives as the original Bylaw.

Reasons for the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program The extreme flooding that occurred in the District in 2012 damaged the District’s water system. The damage prevented the District from being able to continue to supply commercial water users in the District who require high volumes of water with an adequate, suitable and reliable supply of municipal water until such time as the District is able to update its water treatment plant, estimated to take two years or more to complete.

The economic and social well being of the District is enhanced by a viable commercial and retail sector that continues to supply the basic and necessary goods and services, as well as a variety of other goods and services, to the District’s resident population, tourists and visitors and other District businesses. The economic health of that sector and, therefore, the well being of the resident and visiting populations, would be adversely affected by closures of businesses in that sector, forcing persons and businesses in Sicamous to purchase their goods and services in other municipalities. The closure of those businesses may adversely affect other businesses in the District, causing them to close as well.

The water users who are dependent on their water supply for the continuation of their businesses, may be unable to recover from the adverse impacts of the loss of the water supply they require and unable to afford the cost of installing private water filtration systems. Rather than see these businesses close or relocate to other municipalities and be lost to the District, Council deems it necessary and in the best interests of the District to offer them tax exemptions under section 226 of the Community Charter.

Objectives of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program Council’s objectives for the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program are to secure the future economic and social health of the District by offering tax relief to the owners and occupiers of those commercial properties in the Revitalization Area (high volume commercial water users) who were adversely affected by the long term loss of an adequate, suitable and reliable supply of municipal water as a result of flood damage to the municipal water system in 2012; Accomplishing the Objectives The Objectives of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program would be accomplished by (1) assisting the high volume commercial water users with the cost of installing water filtration systems on their premises to provide water suitable for their business operations until such time the municipal water service is upgraded, operational and able to supply them with an adequate, suitable and reliable supply of municipal water; and (2) thereby enabling the existing high volume commercial water users to keep their businesses financially viable; to preserve the jobs they provide in their businesses and indirectly in other businesses in the District; and to continue providing goods and services to the inhabitants of the District as well as visitors and tourists to the District, rather than having their customers purchase their goods and services outside of the District; Eligible Properties To be eligible for the tax exemption, an applicant must (1) own a Parcel or operate a business assessed for taxation on one or more of the of the commercial properties (Parcels) listed in the Table at the end of this notice, and (2) have installed a water filtration system on the Parcel before October 1, 2013.

Maximum Term of the Tax Exemption The tax exemption will be provided for a maximum term of 5 years beginning with the calendar year 2014 and not available after the year 2018, with the amending Bylaw having a remaining term of 4 years.

Amount of the Tax Exemption The annual tax exemption proposed for each property is $1,200.00, and therefore a reduction in the annual assessed value of the Parcel of $11,250.

Extent of the Tax Exemption The extent of the Tax Exemption is $6,000 if claimed for the Maximum Term of 5 years. The exemption is applied only to the general municipal tax portion of the municipal tax bill and not to taxes that must be collected by the District for other taxing authorities.

Date of Council Meeting Council will consider the adoption of the Amending Bylaw at its Regular Council Meeting on September 10th, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. in the District of Sicamous Council Chambers at the address below. Interested persons are welcome to attend.

Information A complete copy of the bylaw is available at the District of Sicamous Municipal Office, 446 Main Street, Sicamous, BC. For more information, please call Kelly Bennett, Chief Financial Officer, 250-836-2477.

In February/March 2014, Edie Swanson traveled to Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina with a group of eight friends from Alberta.

Major cities visited included Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu and San Jose.

Edie writes the following: “Our first excursion was taking a cog train to visit Christ Statue at Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro and the botanical gardens. This was followed by a gondola ride to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain giving us a wonderful view of the city. The next day we saw the amazing Iguazu waterfalls which is one of the new wonders of the world. It consists of 275 falls which we viewed from both the Brazilian and Argentinean side. To reach them, we traveled by miniature train. We visited an aboriginal village where natural medicine is practised and animals are trapped for meat.

Only the chief spoke English and leaves the village. Next, we saw the San Ignacio Jesuit Ruins containing houses, workshops, hospital, town hall and cemetery and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The next day we enjoyed a private excursion to the Esteros del Ibera consisting of 1.3 million hectares. Here we saw egrets, capybaras (largest rodent in the world), black caiman, other species of wildlife, and many birds.

“We were driven to the spot where the river flows through Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. Then we flew to Buenos Aires, where we took the fast ferry to Colonia for a city tour. The rivers are so wide that cruise ships sail on them. We stayed at a working farm in San Jose where

South America

we were able to go horseback riding, milk a cow, and pick grapes. A city tour of Montevideo was next, where we toured the old city and the new city. The architecture amazed us.

“Our trip ended with another fast ferry ride to Buenos Aires where we toured Tigre. Some of the sites included the Presidential Pace, the Colon Theater and the National Congress. In Milonga, we watched Tango dancers and some of our group attempted the tango dance.

“In summarizing, South America is a very clean country considering its population. English isn’t spoken that well as tourism is a relatively new industry. However, the people are very friendly and you can usually communicate your needs with hand gestures.”

Edie is pictured in front of the tall ships in the Tigre Delta. She receives $10 for having her picture printed and is entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2014.

Travels To payments must be picked up in person at Lakeshore News, 161 Hudson Ave NE.

Gemini, it can be challenging to get your head wrapped around certain tasks. Somehow you will manage to pull everything together and get everything accomplished.

CANCER

Cancer, maintain your focus in the coming week no matter how difficult that proves to be.

Personal concerns may have you reeling, but your heightened focus will serve you well.

LEO

Leo, you may have something on your mind, but now is not the time to share such concerns. Do your best to solve a problem on your own, but rely on the advice of others if need be.

VIRGO

Virgo, do your best to avoid being let down by the negative attitudes of others. Friends or coworkers may just be in a bad mood, but that does not mean you need to be.

Libra, a little extra concentration will find you tackling your workload with time to spare. Commit your time now and enjoy the time to take things slow later in the week.

Scientists have discovered coffee’s many beneficial substances, including chlorogenic acid, a compound in the antioxidant family that may improve glucose (sugar) metabolism.

Another perk is that coffee contains magnesium, a mineral that can also improve insulin sensitivity and enhance glucose tolerance -- thumbs up for preventing diabetes.
