Council: continuity and change

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

didn’t ask them to vote for me, I just asked them to check me out.”

Election night was sort of low key. Tim and his wife, Nancy, went out of dinner with friends and came home by the time the polls closed.

“I fired the computer up but I got a phone call before the results came through on the computer. It wasn’t explosive; it wasn’t cork-popping [but] I was excited, I felt I had worked hard for it. It felt good and right. That was the primary feeling.”

The next day Tim, like the other candidates, had work to do: “Sunday was deconstructing signs. It was pleasantly tangible, removing signs and chatting with people. Hearing the congratulations was humbling and rewarding.”

The council-elect have already had discussions regarding committee assignments, have huge information binders to study and had their city hall orientation tour.

Tim is already thinking of ways of being a very accessible councillor. He is into social media and the old-fashioned small-town way of communicating.

“I like less formal settings. I’ve been doing ‘walk, talk, and wag,’” he says referring to his daily walks with his dogs where there is a standing invitation for anyone to join him.

“Bring your dog along.”

He spreads his coffee dollar around town, but he is often at Java Jive. With two daughters, ages 13 and 18, he is often at parental events, and he also coaches soccer.

The family moved from the coast to Salmon Arm in the mid-1990s. Nancy (nee Kolkind) had grown up here. Tim is now retired, having spent a career in special and alternate education as a frontline teacher, counseling, and, eventually, administration.

His career, he says, taught him the skills he will use in his new job as city councillor.

“It’s about prioritizing needs. There are a number of factors involved in people’s lives..it’s about dealing with those factors and making it work. Money is hard to come by so you have to become an advocate for that group within the system itself.

I think politics is about meeting demands and competing agendas, and the way forward is consensus and continual advocacy.”

Random acts of wandering Sometimes numbers tell a story. With four candidates running for mayor, the predictions were as varied as the personalities who were running.

The voters overwhelmingly stood behind Nancy Cooper (above). For Nancy it was an affirmation she was on the right track. The ‘right track’ she explains, is listening to the residents, and by being available and accessible. It’s not just about going to events, which she loves, but it’s also about random of acts of walks and bus rides.

“Sometimes I ride the bus and talk to people. The ride from downtown to Canoe is such a beautiful ride. It’s amazing the people you meet on the bus. Our drivers are great- they know everything that’s going on in town and you have quite the discussion on the bus.”

Sometimes Nancy just walks around town, or even drives to the industrial park, to ask people how things are going in their business, or just in general.

Sometimes, she says, council’s decisions like buying the Jackson property are what people have in mind when they approve of what council is doing, but often, it’s about the little things.

“Once I got a call from the industrial park about a road being in bad shape. I called the works crew and they were about to go up that way anyway. They said, ‘We’ll do it right now.’”

She has several of these kinds of stories, but the point, she says, is these funny coincidences shows that she listens and cares: “They are little things, but they’re big things.”

Sometimes her job as mayor is just plain fun. At the fall fair the Salmon Arm GM gave her a new Camero to drive in the parade.

“They said I could drive it for a bit afterwords. I didn’t tell them how fast I drove it, it has a huge engine...”

The coffee klatch clinch The three incumbents topped the polls and newcomer, Tim Lavery (right, with wife Nancy), came in a close 4th. He had run for office twice before, and both times came in 8th.

This time he figured meeting people and letting them get to know who he was would be the key.

“That’s what I viewed as my hurdle - ‘Do they know you?’ I had coffee klatches in the beginning. It provided me with an opportunity to meet people I hadn’t met before. It was a comfortable way of doing it.”

He also did some ‘old-fashioned door knocking.’

“It was fun. It was a great combination of getting exercise and meeting people. I

by creative chaos and peppered with vintage. On her desk is a lot of candy. She’s not eating it but has arranged it in fun, creative, Christmas designs. She is working on a brochure for the Candy Vault.

Her professional background is impressive with a degree is Social Sciences, honours Economics, work experience at Parliament Hill, and in the publishing world in Vancouver. She also has a Masters in Publishing from Simon Fraser University and speaks French fluently.

Louise and her husband, David Richmond, moved to Salmon Arm in 1999. It was homecoming for David whose family has lived in Salmon Arm for five-generations, but for Louise, growing up in a small town in Ontario, it felt much the same.

“North Bay is a lot like Salmon Arm. There is development up the hill and down the hill, it has a great big beautiful lake, a busy tourist season, and a railroad track runs right through it. Salmon Arm has always felt like my western Canadian home.”

From the time she moved here, Louise was involved in the community, beginning with the centennial celebrations.

Since then she has served on various boards and a lot of time volunteering.

Running for council was just a good fit for her, she explains.

“Salmon Arm has been good to me. A lot of people give back to their community - I just happen to be a volunteer who loves politics and municipal affairs and I think people sensed that.”

On election day she was quite calm.

She spent the day cleaning house, or as she puts it, “putting Humpty together again.”

By mid-afternoon she realized she should pick up some groceries. “As I was leaving the store someone yelled, ‘Good luck Louise’ and it hit me like a ton of bricks. From 4 o’clock I was in a time warp. Time slowed right down.”

That evening they had little campfire in their yard as they awaited the results. She got the news about 8:20 PM. The phone kept ringing and soon neighbours from around her area in Canoe started showing up to offer congratulations.

Her professional background will naturally help in her new job, but she says her skills as a mom (they have two sons, ages 10 and 12) will also come in handy. [She calls it ‘momapreneur’] Moms have to work within a budget, and use creative and collaborative management skills.

Louise has ideas on how to be accessible to the public. “I want to have office hours, a given time so people can just come in. Having a face-to-face can sort out a lot of things.”

It’s just an extension of the open-door policy at her home in Canoe: “If our car is in the driveway, you can knock at the door.”

COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

Granny Smith apples and obesity Skin-to-skin contact We all know the saying “an ents like calcium and iron in low In one of my recent new patient examina-

apple a day keeps the doctor away.” We also know that fruits and vegetables are good for you.

So, what is so special about Granny Smith apples?

Well, they are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Antioxidants help to remove harmful free radicals in the body which are known to cause diseases. They are low in calories–only 80 per apple–and they don’t have any fat. So, they’re helpful for people who are trying to lose weight. The Granny Smith apple has a lower level of carbohydrates compared to other fruits such as Red Delicious apples, bananas, and oranges; and they have fibre, which helps to regulate blood sugar better. They also have more potassium than other apples, which provides benefits to cardiovascular health.

Moreover, they have other nutri-

amounts.

Granny Smiths are gaining popularity these days, as they can play a greater role in losing weight than other types of apples.

According to new research, people with certain types of gut flora do not have the tendency to be obese. Altered gut flora plays a part in obesity. And in one study, it was found that Granny Smith apples can reach the colon, helping in promoting good gut bacteria, which may help with obesity!

In my opinion, this is a great fruit due to its nutrients, lower carbohydrate levels, and because of the newly-discovered fact that it can promote good gut flora. My fridge now contains Granny Smith apples.

tions of a newborn, I was asking about baby’s delivery history. In this instance, the parents opted for a home birth with a midwife present, and everything went very well. When I checked baby for subluxation (spinal misalignment/nervous system interference) I discovered only mild restriction in movement in the upper neck, which resulted in minor nerve irritation. A gentle adjustment was performed while baby slept and the tension released easily.

Going back to our history and discussion, I was also pleased to hear the midwife had educated Mom and Dad about the importance of immediate skin-to-skin contact following delivery. This discussion got me thinking about how many babies miss out on the benefits of skin-to-skin connection with their parents especially when there is a difficult delivery or a cesarian section is performed. Even if the delivery is relatively uneventful, if baby is immediately wrapped in a blanket they miss out on the benefits of this necessary connection.

There are many studies now showing the long list of benefits of skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby immediately at birth and in the following months. These babies are happier; their breathing rates, temperature and heart rate are more stable and normal.

Skin-to-skin contact with their mother also helps to colonize their body with healthy bacteria, which is essential for proper immune and digestive development. If they miss this important step and are whisked away to an incubator, etc., their gut will be colonized with less helpful bacteria.

So, immediately after birth, babies should be naked and resting skin-to-skin on their mom’s chest. Babies that do so have been shown to be more likely to latch on comfortably, have more stable skin temperatures, have closer to ideal blood pressure and blood sugar levels, are less likely to cry. Finally, they are more likely to exclusively breastfeed for a longer time period.

With so many benefits, it is essential moms, dads, doctors, and midwives all do their best to ensure this natural bonding process occurs.

It’s that time of year

By Nan Dickie It’s almost December - less than four weeks until Christmas Day. For many people, there is an air of joy, anticipation and excitement.

This is the highlight of their year.

These folks love Christmas – putting up decorations, wrapping gifts, entertaining, anticipating Christmas dinner with loved ones. They’re counting the days until Christmas with glee. What could be more wonderful?!

But, wait a minute! This season is not a joyous time for many people.

Days are shorter, nights are longer and darker. It’s cold and grey outside. These folks are perpetually tired, and can hardly drag themselves out of bed in the morning.

They can’t concentrate on work or school, and feel like doing absolutely nothing. They feel isolated, alone. In a word, they are depressed.

There are many reasons people get depressed at Christmas. They may have bad memories of family Christmases early in their lives – perhaps they lost a parent to death or through divorce, or their family home was dysfunctional. They may think they should buy lots of gifts and don’t have the money to do so.

They may think all the activity around Christmas is hype, or worse, and it would be hypocritical to go along with it.

Regardless of the reason, those of us who find Christmas depressing need to navigate ourselves through this month-long season.

It’s very difficult trying to figure out what we need to do when we are depressed. It’s hard to think

clearly. However, we must decide what we need and go for it. If we need to be alone or with only one other person most of the time because we find being in a group at Christmas overwhelming, we must arrange this, and let people important to us know about it. Then, if we decline an invitation, those people close to us will understand.

When we’re depressed, we need to simplify our lives. If it’s too depressing to go into a busy shop before Christmas to buy a gift, we could make a donation to a charity in the name of a friend or family member. Or, we could buy gift certificates at the grocery store when we’re doing our weekly shopping.

No wrapping required!

There are other things we depressives ought to do for ourselves in this season of excess.

Practice good daily habits: eat well, but not too much; sleep enough, but not too much; get lots of fresh air, and don’t drink to excess. If we feel isolated, we must put ourselves among other people sometimes – even by sitting at the library or a coffee shop.

Being depressed at Christmas time is very tough. However, many people who get depressed in December find that their depression begins to lift on Boxing Day. And, guess what? Boxing Day is only one day after Christmas!

Nan Dickie facilitates a depression support group in Salmon Arm. For information about the group, contact her at ndickie@telus.net.

Nan will write an article in the next two editions of the Lakeshore News.

LOCAL DOCTOR SPEARHEADS EBOLA FUNDRAISER Dr. Richard Currie of Salmon Arm has organized an ebola fundraiser on Sunday, Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Salmar Classic Theatre. The Salmar has donated the space. Admission by donation. A 45-minute film will show how doctors and nurses courageously treated ebola victims in 2000. A Q&A session will follow. There will be a bake sale at intermission. Tax receipts will be provided for donations over $10.

Richard wrote: “When not practicing in Salmon Arm, I’ve done five missions with Medecins Sans Frontieres / Doctors Without Borders totalling approximately three years in different parts of Africa. I’ll be joined by Laura Stovel and Erin Wilkins from Revelstoke, who have each spent a significant amount of time doing development work in Sierra Leone, one of the hardest hit countries.

Laura was the originator of this fundraising idea. We used the same format in Revelstoke in October and had about 100 participants, raising over $1500. I’m hoping Salmon Arm will do even better!”

CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF A LOVED ONE WITH A LIGHT Shuswap Hospice Society will have their annual Celebrate A Life tree at Piccadilly Mall and invites you to come and turn on a light and take home an angel to honour the life of a loved one or pet, as well as honouring yourself. The light will burn for only a short time. This is a free memorial event although donations will be accepted. Hospice workers will volunteer their time, and are available to anyone who needs to talk privately. Look for the hospice display near the Bookingham tables. It will be there from Mon., Dec. 1 to 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

DO YOU HAVE A LONELY CAR IN THE GARAGE? I KNOW SOMEONE WHO WOULD LOVE IT. Three years ago a friend asked if I knew someone who could use a van that a couple was giving away. It was in perfectly good condition. The next day I called the friend and said I knew a woman in her late 60s with a dog who could use it, and gave details on her situation. My friend had three other people who wanted the van, but she chose the woman. What a gift!

Now I know a woman who really needs a vehicle but cannot afford to buy one on her wage. With winter approaching, she needs one with winter tires. If you have a lonely car to give away, contact me at 250-832-4831 or sallys1@telus.net. Thanks.

SENIORS MOVING HERE FOR THE FACILITIES Last Sunday I met a senior woman who moved to Salmon Arm from the Kootenays and has settled in one

of the residences that provides meals. I asked why she didn’t go into one in the Kootenays. She said there is a two-year waiting list. When she went back at the end of her two-year wait, she was told it would be another two years! But she found Salmon Arm had vacancies.

NEW RETIREMENT RESORT AT UPTOWN Seniors will be interested to know about a new 64-apartment facility called Andover Terrace that is being built in the uptown area of Salmon Arm. From the fourway stop at the RCMP detachment, take 20th St. away from the highway. Drive past the Mormon Church. When you get to a stop sign, turn left and you will see it right there. From town, take Lakeshore Drive and keep going for several miles till it turns into 20th Ave. and you get to the top of the hill. Turn left onto Lakeshore Rd.. You will see Andover Terrace at 2110 Lakeshore Rd NE. Planned completion is spring, 2015. It is owned by Hawk Ridge Group and managed by AdvoCare Health Services.

Visit the presentation centre at Centenoka Park Mall, opposite Lucky’s and Dollar Tree. It is open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sit and watch a virtual tour on the huge screen as you enjoy butterscotch candy, then look at all the floor plans on the north wall. Details are at www.andoverterrace.ca. 1-844-263-0002.

Andover will serve three meals a day from its full kitchen, and have snacks, too. Perhaps even butterscotch candies. It will have a private dining room for family functions. Other amenities are a salon, spa, theatre, chapel and a big bus.

JIM SCALES SET THE FORMULA FOR TAKEOVERS This is the third and final excerpt from my talk at Jim Scales’ memorial on Nov. 8. To read the first two, go to www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca, click on Sidewalk Superintendent and scroll to the Nov. 14th and 21st columns.

“The Monitor was a newspaper that was started by eight of my former employees during the 1982 recession.

It lasted 11 months, and was reborn a year later by one of the employees as Shuswap Sun, and operated from a house in Blind Bay. It struggled for many years, then was taken over by a company owned by Conrad Black and moved to a downtown office. I was having my paper printed by Conrad’s paper in Kelowna, and one day the publisher asked me for lunch, and proposed that I sell my paper to them, or I buy Shuswap Sun. I learned later that the Sun was losing thousands every month. The publisher and I decided to meet again, secretly in Enderby, in one week. I asked if I could bring my ex-husband who is

excellent at finding business solutions. The three of us sat at a corner table and Jim listened as I gave reasons why I couldn’t buy Shuswap Sun, the main one being I didn’t want to go into debt as retirement age loomed. If I sold my paper to them, most of the money would go to pay taxes. Half an hour after coming back to our offices, Jim came to me with a solution and I phoned it to the publisher in Kelowna. If I bought Shuswap Sun for X per cent of last year’s income, then at any time in the next 10 years, Conrad’s company could buy my paper for the same X per cent of its previous year’s income. His solution was accepted by the company, and in 1997, newspaper history was made when an independently-owned paper bought a chain paper. This would not have happened without Jim. In 2006, I sold my paper without any negotiating over price, because Jim had set the formula.”

TWO GUYS IN 50s MEET FOR FIRST TIME SINCE GRADE 3 After Jim Scales’ memorial, family and friends met in a back meeting room of Wicked Spoon Tap & Grill for more reminiscing over dinner and brew. Two guys in their 50s sat across the table from one another and they heard talk of the Sternberg family dairy farm during the 70s. When Michael Sternberg’s name was mentioned, a light bulb went off in each head. It turns out the two, George Johnston of Salmon Arm and Paul Scales of Terrace, were in Grade 3 together in Carlin. Who would have thought?

CP HOLIDAY TRAIN STARTED NOV. 26 CP’s holiday train is travelling across Canada on its annual three-week rolling food bank fundraiser. It will arrive in Salmon Arm at 6:45 p.m. on Monday, December 15 in the vicinity of Lordco. As it gets closer to the day, you will be able to see its schedule at www.cpr.ca.

PLAYING FIELD LEVELLED FOR LIQUOR SALES On April 1, 2015 grocery stores will be allowed to sell liquor through the store-within-a-store model. The B.C. government announced that as of April 1, BC Liquor stores will also be allowed to start extending their hours, opening on Sundays and offering refrigeration. All retailers, including Liquor Distribution Branch stores, will buy alcohol at the same wholesale price. The rules around the relocation of liquor licenses – known as the “five kilometre rule” – will be lifted on April 1. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831

Enderby Lions wish to thank event supporters

We at the Enderby & District Lions Club would like to thank the many individuals, organizations and businesses that so generously donated to our 24th Annual Children’s Christmas Auction held on Saturday November 22nd, at the Paddlewheeler Restaurant & Pub in the Enderby Howard Johnson Inn. Your generosity is truly appreciated by our members, and by the

recipients for the funds raised. We also would like to thank the patrons that came to buy the goods and services.

We proudly announce that this project produced nearly $13,500 that will be used mainly for the children of Enderby & District. We are also proud that we had 42 Enderby Lions members participating in the project,

contributing over 250 person hours and traveling about 450 km. The retail value of the goods offered was just over $19,500, so auctioneer Noel Tarzwell was successful in generating a return of nearly 68% of the retail value from the 73 bidders and 54 buyers. Thank you to all for a job well done!

Mall Arkey Christmas stocking list

FINANCIAL LTD.

Centenoka Park Mall • 250-832-5000 Email: daron@mallarkey.ca Website: www.mallarkey.ca

It is still November, but the mall tells us it’s time to put our Christmas decorations up. So, we’ve begun to put up the lights and hang our stockings. With the hanging of our stockings comes our shameless annual plea for lumps of coal and rotten fruit to fill our socks in appreciation of all the work we do for you.

In the past we’ve received some loose change (never more than a quarter), a chocolate left over from Halloween, a sucker and even a lump of coal for Senior Mall Arkey. Mind you, those four things are an accumulation of years of begging and pleading. I guess the message is getting out, albeit slowly.

This year Marianne wants an iPad; not that she’s asking too much. So in typical Mall Arkey style, we have to adjust her request so as not to make me feel bad when all I get is a rotten orange. I’m suggesting a hot pad with a big letter “I” written on it.

This is Judy’s first Mall Arkey Christmas and so she was a little surprised when I told her about our tradition of hanging stockings and begging our readers to fill them. Being an active type, she said she wants snowshoes this year. So the next time we get a big snowfall; gather some snow, stick it in an old shoe and bring it on in for Judy’s stocking.

Duma the cat seems to get more love than the rest of us, so we are again hanging a stocking for

her. She definitely enjoys little cat treats and I like them because it’s the only thing that works in bribing her to stay in the mudroom.

We’re unsure why we do it, but once again we’ve hung Ron’s huge stocking. However, this year we’ve decided to put a “D” and “A” in front of Ron’s name to make it Daron’s huge stocking.

So that Ron still feels a part of things, we’ve decided to stroke out the “D” and “A” from my puny stocking and make it his!

Ron did call from Mexico the other day, gloating about the perfect weather. Even though it’s easy to wish a sunburn on him, we figured we’d ask for some sunscreen for his stocking.

However, due to the now extremely small stocking bearing his name, you might have to bring in a travel size.

Now that I have inherited (by force) the largest stocking in the office; I am going to have to ask for something large. Like really big! I thought about a treadmill so I can continue my running program through the winter, but that is too bulky and awkward to fit in a stocking. In fact it would seem the only thing that would fit properly is a nice big box of chocolates. Oh well, so much for good intentions!

Well, there’s our list. Don’t be shy. Remember, Christmas is all about giving so we’re actually helping you out by giving you our list ahead of time!

Enderby diner has a cameo The D & E Diner in Enderby will be making a ‘guest’ appearance in the movie ‘Go With Me’ staring Sir Anthony Hopkins, Julia Stiles, Alexander Ludwig, and Ray Liotta.

Owners John and Heather Fournier (above, with Sir Anthony Hopkins) enjoyed the whole experience of having the cast and crew in their the 50s style diner. They first heard about a movie crew coming to town when they were given a business card and asked to call.

“He asked if we would be open to them scouting the location for a movie and I said, ‘sure.’” says John. Soon the director with an entourage of half a dozen people came to look the restaurant over.

“They called me back and said they were interested and wanted to talk to me about the details.”

The details included some changes the set people would be making and, of course, the dollar amount. John says many people assume they were paid a fortune. What they asked for was the staff’s wages for the day and to be compensated for a typical day’s earnings.

“I didn’t think it was fair that staff should lose a day’s wages because we were going to be closed for a day,” says Heather.

For two days before the actual day of shooting, the set crew came in to work. They did some painting (the red was too shiny) and added wainscoting.

“It’s a good addition,” says John, referring to the wainscoting. They don’t care too much for the new pale green paint so they will do some repainting.

It was a little busy and crowded for staff and customers for those two days but Heather says the customers were really great and cooperative, sharing tables.

On the day of the actual filming the crew started arriving at 5 in the morning. They were told to have the set ‘hot and ready’ by 7. The actors arrived after 6. There were make-up artists assigned to each actor. The three main actors also had stand-ins.

“Anthony Hopkins came in, walked right up to me and shook my hand. He said, ‘How are you doing?’ It was a friendly gesture,” says John.

They went right to work, discussing among themselves how the shot would go.

The scene in the diner includes a conversation among the main actors as well as some interaction with a cook and waitress.

“They did the scene over and over from different angles,” says Heather.

“It was fascinating.”

The microphones are so sensitive that no other noises are permitted; every machine in the restaurant had to be unplugged. They don’t even use real ice in a glass of water because it’s too noisy; they use plastic imitation.

No one coughs, sneezes, whispers or makes a sound until they hear ‘cut’.

They didn’t get a chance to talk to the other actors but Julia said ‘hi’ to John, and, at one point glanced over at Heather.

“We made eye contact and exchanged smiles,” says Heather.

John and Heather had a chance to talk to some of the crew. Some were from the States, but many were Canadian, even some from the local area. A number of locals were hired as extras.

While they were filming John and Heather stayed in the kitchen.

They helped out from time to time, and found it very amusing to see how excited the set crew was to find they had a few dirty dishes and other ‘homey’ touches to make the scene authentic.

“They really liked the plate with gravy,” says John. “They covered up the brand names on the machines but liked the stickynotes.”

The entire day of shooting was about 12 hours, and the scene at the diner will only take 4-6 minutes in the movie.

After they finished their last shot, Anthony came over to chat with John and Heather. He noticed they liked his amusing dialogue with the cook because he saw them laughing. He talked a little about the plot of the movie, gave them each a hug and got his picture taken with him.

They’re looking forward to seeing their diner, which they just bought in April, on the big screen. The movie, based on Castle Freeman Jr’s thriller novel, Go With Me, will be in theatres in 2015.

The D & E Diner will be opened through the winter months from 11-6.

Okanagan Historical Society (OHS) celebrates 25 years The annual Okanagan Historical Society’s Christmas gathering will mark a special celebration, the 25th Anniversary of the OHS Salmon Arm Branch. The parent body originated in the Okanagan in 1925.

All OHS members, former members, and the public are invited to come and reminisce. There will be finger food [thanks to OHS members] as well as a large anniversary cake.

OHS President Rosemary Wilson will present three lifetime certificates to Salmon Arm’s Branch. Rosemary, along with Dorothy Rolin will give a brief history of the local branch.

The latest OHS Report will be on sale and gracing its cover is 100-year-old Ron Turner holding a box of apples (below). This book is full of stories and pictures from Salmon Arm down the Okanagan Valley to Osoyoos and over to Princeton. Local stories and tributes featured are: Don Rogers, June Griswold, Phil Cave, Bill Hopkins, Edith Wright, Ron Turner, The Shuswap Art Gallery, and Yvonne Arnouse.

Copies of back issues of the report will also be for sale and it is also a perfect time to support the society by buying a membership.

It all takes place beginning at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, December 7 at the Seniors Drop-in-Centre on Hudson Avenue.

A gift for the horse and/or horse lover HealthQuest Natural Health & Gift Gallery now has handmade horsehair jewelry by Hoof Prints Equine Jewelry by Jenn.

You can wear these pieces yourself or dress up your horse.

Custom pieces can be made with your animal’s hair.

HealthQuest is located at 191 Shuswap St. NW. Or visit them at www.healthquest.vpweb.ca.

Esso in Enderby Super Save Gas in Enderby will be switching to Esso on December 1st. Manager Keith Beckett says they won’t be closing the station at all, just switching over the signs.

Keith says they are not called the Spallumcheen Food Mart anymore but Quilakwa Stop & Shop & Art Gallery.

Congratulations to...

Picnic shelter a community effort

By Larissa Lutjen Over the last year the North Shuswap Community Association saw a big project come to fruition. Adjacent to the hall, and under the trees, there now sits a large, architecturally distinctive shelter which can accommodate several picnic tables and will add to what the Celista Hall offers the com-

munity and people renting the facilities for functions.

The project was enthusiastically championed by Gord Fisher, with Ed Elmes, Bill McAlister, Everett Loburg, Ron Alford, Jim Perry and Toby Alford contributing countless volunteer hours to make it happen. The Shuswap Community Foundation donat-

Kids-only shopping

ed $2,000 from the Lloyd and Dorothy Askew Family Endowment towards the project and the CSRD contributed a grant-in-aid of $16,500, which covered most of the remaining costs. The rest was generated from fundraising conducted by the NSCA. Dylan Warkington, with Graham Kalynchuk, was the lead contractor for the construction and SOS Excavating did the site preparation.

The picnic shelter is wired to offer lighting and electrical outlets when needed and will have a water fountain for park users in the summer. Already there have been enquiries about renting the structure next summer, which is exciting because the hall relies on rentals for a significant portion of the building’s upkeep. The shelter will also be available for public use. Photo contributed.

Looking for a wonderful Christmas experience? Grab your kids and head out to the Cedar Heights Community Centre on Saturday, December 6th.

The “Kids Only Christmas Shopping Event” allows children to shop for gifts for family and friends in a safe and supportive environment. Community members have donated new and nearly new items which have been priced at truly affordable rates. The young shoppers have a great time on the lower floor of the centre, while parents and guardians relax on the upper floor. Store hours are 9:30 a.m. to noon.

No more enforcers

On November 23, CBC TV announced that the NHL is no longer hiring enforcers. So, the bullies are becoming the latest endangered species in our society. Why? Because, more and more people view fighting as repugnant; inconsistent with our sense of fair play, and the last thing we want our children to emulate.

Our understanding of sport is something we do to have fun at, that is why we call it play.

Besides, who wants to support a game where the players are at risk of getting a concussion? Too bad enforcers are being phased out, because they are hurting the bottom line of the owners, rather than something we as a society should demand.

I am wondering how long it is going to take to return to playing hockey where skills in stick handling, skating, and no body contact (like body checking into the boards), will be the norm? Where the whole family can really enjoy a night of entertainment? I can hardly wait.

Wi-fi is less dangerous than visible light

Recently there has been a debate about wi-fi in parks and schools. The safety concerns are unfounded and misinformation is spreading fear.

Wi-fi is a form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation which travels in waves.

Radiation does not equal “bad.” Light is a form of EM radiation! The frequency of radiation is measured in hertz (Hz). A prefix is usually attached with common ones including mega (M) which is a million, giga (G) which is a billion and tera (T) which is a trillion. The greater the energy a wave has, the greater its potential to damage a substance. Since the energy of EM radiation is directly proportional to its frequency, the higher the frequency of the radiation the more dangerous it is. Wi-fi has a frequency of

either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. In comparison, visible light has frequencies between 430GHz and 790THz, depending on the colour. These frequencies are 180 to 300,000 times higher than that of wi-fi. UV rays, including those from the sun, have a frequency around 3000THz, which is more than one million times greater than the frequency of wi-fi! We would be much better off worrying about the radiation caused by UV rays or even visible light than that of wi-fi.

Wi-fi is far from the only man-made radiation that is around us. Both FM and AM radio signals emit EM radiation with frequencies of roughly 100MHz for FM radio and 1MHz for the older AM radio. Cell towers send out waves of radiation with frequencies ranging from

850MHz to 2100MHz. As well, satellites that communicate with the earth do so by means of EM radiation. This includes satellite TV, GPS technology, and weather satellites. All have frequencies that are significantly lower and therefore safer than that of visible light. If we’re concerned about wi-fi, we should also be concerned about these technologies and many others. Banning wi-fi in schools where children are for roughly a quarter of the day will not have a significant impact on the amount of EM radiation received due to all the other sources of it. In order to completely escape EM radiation we would need to encase ourselves in lead in the middle of nowhere in the pitch black.

Where I am sitting in my house, I can pick up over ten

different wi-fi signals from my neighbours. However, most of them are very weak.

This is because wi-fi is not a very strong signal. It is easily blocked by objects which is why the quality of a wireless connection is lower than that of a wired connection. This means that I am receiving a greater dose of EM radiation from sitting underneath a light than I am from the various wi-fi signals around me.

The reason wi-fi can still go around some corners is because it diffuses like another well-known wave—sound.

Whether or not we should be installing wi-fi in parks or schools is the matter at hand.

If it is installed should depend on its potential positive and negative uses and not on the fear of an invisible wave.

Jonathan Bakker, Salmon Arm

Evidence indicates wi-fi not harmful

Some people have expressed great concern about the safety of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from electronic devices. The possibility that this frequency of radiation could be a Type One carcinogen raises alarm. While I understand these concerns, I would like to put the matter into perspective. Our world is full of Type One carcinogens, many of which are naturally occurring.

Each one of us has daily exposure to several carcinogens such as ultraviolet rays from the sun, or radio isotopes in the earth. In fact, the majority of our radiation exposure comes from the sun. It warrants mentioning other proven carcinogens like ethanol, cigarette smoke, and herbal remedies containing Aristolochia. Electromagnetic radiation covers a huge range of frequencies while the concerns about wi-fi are only dealing with a very small portion of the spectrum.

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) encompasses a broad range from low frequency radio waves to very high frequency gamma radiation, and includes the spectrum of visible light and ultraviolet rays. The radiation

from electronic technology such as wi-fi, Bluetooth, and cell phones is at the low frequency range, 2.46 GHz, while visible light is one thousand times that in frequency. The current scientific evidence indicates that radiation of frequencies higher than the spectrum of visible light are harmful to human health such as ultra violet waves, x-rays, and gamma rays. The bulk of evidence suggests that radiation of low frequency below the visible spectrum is not considered harmful.

In science there must be a reproducible body of evidence to support a theory. The radiation from wi-fi is a topic that has articles arguing both side of the debate. However, the balance of evidence indicates that these low-frequency radio waves are not harmful. Because of public concern, there are investigators examining low frequency radiation and its effects. Perhaps as more data is gathered the story will change. At present, however, there is not enough evidence to push all our levels of government to introduce regulation.

Our society has more pressing priorities in the realm of carcinogens. Cigarette smoke, alco-

hol, ultraviolet rays from tanning beds and the sun, radon gas, and other naturally-occurring radio isotopes are proven carcinogens and warrant close monitoring by our authorities.

Some of the fear about the radiation of wi-fi is generated by misinformation on the web. I am concerned about this possibility, as many articles in the debate lack scientific basis or are under-informed. This is harmful to the debate as it can cause a lot of unnecessary worry over what is in reality only a small percentage of the radiation we experience on a daily basis. Wi-fi and related wireless signals also confer many benefits and conveniences, including easy internet access anywhere and the ability to contact anyone from almost anywhere on your cell phone. As a youth, I am willing to take the small risk in exchange for all the conveniences electronic devices give me.

While not wanting to belittle the concerns of others, I hope this information can assuage some of those concerns. If future evidence suggests a risk, I feel confident that we will work to reverse/alleviate that risk.

Let’s get more voters out next time who were prepared to sacrifice their life for the

Civic elections. We voted! At least some of us did.

If you were to ask the voters in Salmon Arm if they consider Nelson Mandela a hero, most likely at least 75% of them would say yes. If you were to ask them if they consider Mahatma Gandhi a hero, most likely 75% of those knowing who that is, would say yes. If you were to ask them if they consider Lech Walesa a hero, at least 75% of those knowing who that is, would say yes. These are only three of many people

right to choose their governing representatives.

Yet only 38% of voters in Salmon Arm could bother to vote in this month’s civic elections!

For shame! Come on folks, let’s do better in the upcoming Canada elections next year!

I have seen where some have claimed that Adolf Hitler was never actually elected to govern Germany. In fact, he was! It shows you what apathy can accomplish!

Letters to the Editor

Wireless is the way of the future Technology doesn’t replace human contact

Regarding “Wi-fi exposure is akin to smoke pollution” (page A10, November 14) Sitting in a room with a wireless router is not the same as sitting in a room filled with secondhand smoke.

There have been no studies published to date that conclude that wi-fi exposure causes any negative health effects. In fact, the World Health Organization has stated, “From all evidence accumulated so far, no adverse short- or long-term health effects have been shown to occur from the radio frequency signals produced by base stations.”

Furthermore, radiation sickness is very different from electro-sensitivity. Radiation sickness is a result of high amounts of exposure to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is radiation that contains enough energy to cause the electrons of an atom to leave the atom. The high end of ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays are all considered ionizing radiation. Electro sensitivity is a term used for symptoms allegedly caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields. While electro-sensitivity is real, and it is sometimes debilitating for those affected, the bulk of provocation trials to date have found that self-described sufferers cannot distinguish between real and fake radio frequency fields.

The Health Protection Agency, based in the United Kingdom, affirms that it would take an entire year spent in a wi-fi hotspot to equal the amount of exposure received during a twenty-minute call on a mobile phone. The World Health Organization examined studies looking at brain wave patterns, cognition, and behaviour after exposure to radio frequency such as those generated by mobile phones, and they did not identify any adverse effects. The radio frequency used in these studies was about 1000 times higher than those

associated with general public exposure from base stations or wireless networks.

One can argue that wi-fi exposure has negative consequences because the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Keep in mind that caffeic acid, which is found in coffee, is also considered possibly carcinogenic to humans by the IARC. Also, when the IARC gave the classification of possibly carcinogenic they used studies based on wireless phone usage, not wi-fi exposure.

The World Health Organization has stated that wi-fi exposure produces generally lower radio frequency signals than wireless phones.

Another argument against wi-fi is that there is no function that wireless can do that hard-wired cannot do. Wireless devices are, by their very existence, performing a function that hard-wired devices cannot do. They are communicating without material contact. Wireless devices don’t require external wires to work. The design of a wireless device is to allow for ease of portability–they are not tied down to a specific point or area. Removing this function of wireless devices removes their function completely.

For those still convinced that wi-fi exposure poses a threat to human health, give this some thought: wi-fi networks are not just found in schools. Wireless networks can be found, even in Salmon Arm, on a building-to-building basis often with multiple networks overlapping. What is the solution when the ‘problem’ becomes even more of a public matter, encompassing the entire city?

Personally, I think that wireless is the way of the future and I would not have it any other way.

The other day, I Skyped my grandparents who live on Vancouver Island, a mountain range and ferry ride away. It was great to be able to catch them up on what is happening in my life. Even through the pixilating and graininess of the long distant internet connection, it was still fantastic to hear and see them.

I attempt conversation while in line at the grocery store. The lady looks at me like I am a crazy person, as if she saw my face on Global News. Are we as a society completely ignoring standard social graces? Personal connections and conversations are slowly being replaced by technology. Face-to-face encounters are replaced by Facebook and Twitter. Even the use of the telephone has been replaced with texting.

Mass emails are replacing standard phone calls from our political parties. Robo-calls and email distribution lists are have replaced the standard warm hand shake from a cold politician. How are we supposed to engage in debate with a computer?

Don’t be part of the problem! Break the cycle – next time you are in the grocery store, I dare you to say hello to the neighbour in line with you. You don’t need to invite them for dinner, just flash them a simple smile, and show how

approachable you are. You never know, you might even strike up a conversation and find a future friend or at least learn something new about the world beyond your computer screen.

I’m not trying to “techno bash” here. I am a proponent of what technology can offer us: the ability to communicate over long distances. Has technological advancements really advanced our human interactions? It has in no way come close to a big ol’ bear hug from Grandpa.

The season of giving... for outdoorsy folks

Marshall-Wells or MacCleods was where you bought one, with a price tag of $19.95. Every farm house had one behind the kitchen door or hanging on the wall. Going back to when we were kids, receiving our first Cooey .22, along with a box of “Whizbang” shells (at 59 cents), was the highlight of our Christmas haul. In hard times, Dad would give us two shells, to bag a rabbit or grouse for the pot. As we enter our favourite outdoor store now for the latest gizmos, gadgets, and equipment, to make our outdoor experience enjoyable, many of us “ol’ guys” reflect back on how the industry has changed with new and innovative ideas for the hunter and angler.

It seems the fall and hunting season has just flown by; and the festive season is well on its way. But as the saying goes, “time waits for no man.” For those hunters who bagged a buck or, even better, a moose, taking the animal to the butcher for the finest of cuts is best.

More hunters and their buddies are banding together to purchase, beg, or borrow a band saw or grinder to cut up their own game. Even better, they are doing their own sausage, smokies, or pepperoni. You can purchase this equipment online. Or, you can also go through your local outdoor or big box store for all sausage equipment and casings for the beginner. There are lots of recipe books online for some great recipes as well–a great gift for the hunter. Another piece of equipment that works well is the jerky gun, for making breakfast sausage. Go to www.himtnjerky.com.

Following is a wish list as long as

your arm, that can be placed on the kitchen/coffee table, or your honey’s car seat or bathroom vanity, in hopes she’ll get you somethin’ real nice.

Once those sausages and smokies are done, a “Big Chief’, or Bradley smoker, is fitting. However, Outdoor Canada did a poll on hunters’ wish lists for Christmas, with the results as follows: Firearms 21.9%, bows 10.0%, clothing/boots 11.1%, decoys 2.3%. Blinds 3.1%, calls 1.5%, optics 29.0%, and ‘nothing’ (?) 21%. Probably the gals’ ol’ man, who is always out huntin’ or fishin’!

Westside Stores always has somethin’ special on for the hunter, so head on down and check them out.

Recently, Canadian Tire sent out a booklet called “The Outsider,” containing a multitude of great ideas one can purchase for the hunter or ice angler in the family.

Some other ideas for your outdoorsperson include battery-powered heated socks, new fishing gear, huts, and augers – requirements for ice fishing. As well, propane heaters are a must if you wish to stay warm while out on the ice; we use them while Kokanee ice fishing on Cariboo lakes. Double burner propane units run about $145, and single burners ring in at $50-60.

There are just oodles of other equipment, gear, firearms, and clothing out there, for him or her. As age-old hunters/anglers, we never dreamed there would be such a selection of gear and clothing. Sure beats the ol’ “Woods” wool mackinaw and wool pants, or the Pioneer brand rain gear/lined wool jacket that now hangs in the closet, below the aging metal tackle box containing the Helin Flatfish, or Gibbs Ruby Eye Wiggler, and Ford Fender! Or the cowbell or willowleaf trolls.

But after all these years, that little single-shot Cooey model 49 still sits in its secure container in a comer of the bedroom.

Gender equality

Historically, Conservative governments have always supported democratic gender equality.

We have and continue to take decisive action to advance equality for women and girls. Under our government, the number of women appointed by Order-In-Council is at its highest level in Canadian history.

Internationally, reports continue to rank Canada as a leader in achieving gender equality. Since 2008, Canada has ranked among the top countries in the World Economic Forum’s Gender Gap Index. A 2012 global poll of experts found that Canada is the best place to be a woman in the G20. The United Nations commissioned 2013 Human Development Report ranked Canada among the top countries on human development and gender equality.

In 1960, former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, for the first time in a federal election, gave aboriginal women the right to vote.

The first woman to be a Member of Parliament, Agnes Campbell Macphail, was a Conservative.

Conservative Ellen Louks Fairclough was the first Minister appointed, and the first woman to become Prime Minister was the Right Honourable Kim Campbell.

In 1987, the Minister of National Defence created an office to study the impact of employing men and women in combat units. These trials were called Combat-Related Employment of Women and in 1989, all military occupations were open to women with the exception of submarine service which opened to women in 2000.

This provided opportunities for all persons to serve their country to the best of their abilities.

From the establishment of federal pay equity

laws and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, our legislation has continually progressed over the years to keep gender equality front and centre.

Our government recently passed Bill S-2, “Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act’ in June 2013 which addressed issues relating to family real property on reserves. This legislation will provide a First Nation with the power to enact laws relating to “the use, occupation and possession of family homes on its reserves and the division of the value of any interests or rights held by spouses or common-law partners in or to structures and lands on its reserves.”

Further, Prime Minister Harper hosted a high-level Summit on Maternal Newborn and Child Health this year. Saving the lives of mothers and children is not only a moral imperative; it is also the foundation for building prosperous communities for this generation and the next.

Saving the lives of vulnerable women and children is one of the clearest expressions of our Canadian values.

Current and past Canadian history affirms gender equality is more than a sentiment with Conservatives -- it is positive policy and political action.

Neighbourhood walks

As fall gives way to winter, walking becomes more challenging because of the often-inclement weather. But even if you can’t or don’t want to head to the higher trails outside town, remember that you can always walk your local neighbourhood streets and short connecting trails.

I’ve thought for a long time that Salmon Arm residents are very fortunate in that many neighbourhoods not only have good, paved sidewalks and quiet streets, but also have off-road trails and paths that you can enjoy as part of a healthy walk as well.

The Turner Creek Trail (above, right), also known as Rotary Trail, runs from downtown up to 30th Avenue, with a link to

Little Mountain Park.

Ponds and birds are part of the natural landscape along this route. Residents living within a short distance of this trail, such as in the Sherwood Forest area, can include a portion of it in a neighbourhood walk. Certain sections, such as near Okanagan College, are gentle and easy, and not too steep or slippery in poor conditions.

The new Maplewood Estates subdivision off of 5th Ave NE has a hard packed, gravel trail called Ready’s Forest Trail (above) that lies behind the east side of houses and connects

walkers and cyclists to Okanagan Avenue.

The grade is gently uphill from 5th Avenue to Okanagan Avenue and meanders next to tall trees and bushes.

North of Highway 1 the pleasant, peaceful Cress Creek Trail travels from 20th Ave NE down through a creek gully and over a bridge to 24th Ave NE and Lakeshore Road.

From 20th Ave. NE it is but a short stroll to connect with paths that lead to the Sullivan campus of Salmon Arm Secondary, as well as Bastion Elementary.

Little Mountain Subdivision is fortunate to be very close to the many trails in Little Mountain Park and residents of Raven subdivision are close to the foreshore trail

and not too far from the trails in Coyote Park.

Up at Richmond Heights, there is a route behind homes through Badger Park that links 15th and

Maps and info on most of the trails I’ve mentioned can be found on either the Shuswap Trails website at www.shuswaptrails.com, or the City of Salmon Arm website at www.salmonarm.ca, under city services - parks and recreation - parks and greenways.

I’m sure there are several more options for walkers in Salmon Arm, plus walking opportunities in other Shuswap communities that I haven’t even touched on. No matter

Winners announced for Okanagan College’s three-hour short story contest Gilbert, Jeremy Lanaway, Hannah Calder, and Francie Greenslade, felt this year’s entries were very strong and exceptionally creative.

“The competition was fierce, which made the job of judging difficult but exciting,” says Chong. “Many students came out of the contest with excellent stories that we hope they will continue to work on.”

The Three-Hour Short Story competition is an annual event held at each of the College’s four campuses and is open to students in Grade 11 and 12, and those attending Okanagan College.

Writers have three hours to create a story using College computers and are not able to access any pre-written material or anything online. Students also have to incorporate a mystery phrase – this year’s phrase was “soggy bread” – into each of their stories.

Four prizes of a $250 tuition credit were handed out to a winner at each campus. The regional winners were:

Kelowna – “Run-Run-Run” by Sarina Bouvier (Kelowna Secondary School) Vernon – “Time Moves Quickly” by Daniel Reich (Okanagan College) Penticton – “Lost Control” by Jesse Frechette (Okanagan College) Salmon Arm – “A Small Victory” by Kyle Phillips (Okanagan College) As the grand prizewinner, Frechette also received an additional $250 tuition credit, which made the total of his prize $500 to use toward his College fees.

Originally from Edmonton, Frechette currently lives in Summerland and is pursuing his Associate of Arts degree at the Penticton campus. He plans to finish his Bachelor of Arts degree and ultimately hopes to go to film school back east.

A high-speed story of loss by Penticton campus Associate of Arts student Jesse Frechette took the top prize at Okanagan College’s Three-Hour Short Story Contest.

“The judges loved ‘Lost Control’ for its confident and original narrative voice, which kept us fully engaged in the story to the very end,” said Okanagan College English professor and contest judge and organizer Corinna Chong.

“The writer created an impressively complex conflict; the story artfully develops the narrator’s struggle to come to terms with the loss of his father, which rises to the surface as he drives his father’s old Camaro faster and faster down the highway. We were also impressed by the story’s ending, which has a powerful impact but also resists wrapping the conflict up too neatly or artificially,” she says.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT cinemaphile

by Emily Garrett

Belle

Set in 18th century England, Belle is inspired by the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), the illegitimate daughter of Royal Navy Admiral John Lindsay (Matthew Goode), who is sent to be raised by her aristocratic great-uncle Lord Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson) and his wife (Emily Watson) and to be a companion to her cousin Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon). Treated as one of the family, Dido is afforded the privileges of upper society through her lineage, but unaccepted in social circles because of a face that reflects her mother’s slavery. Too wealthy to marry the help, and too exotic to marry an heir; while her cousin chases suitors for marriage, Belle struggles with her admiration for an idealistic vicar’s son bent on change who, with her help, could shape the end of slavery in England.

Belle shows at 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 29th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Community band to perform

By Miranda Williams The season is fast approaching, and the Salmon Arm Community Band is busy rehearsing for its annual Christmas concert.

The program features a number of traditional Christmas songs with new treatments. Co-director Jim Johnston is excited about a lovely portrayal of the traditional Canadian piece, “The Huron Carol.” This beautiful fantasy is by Vancouver band arranger Robert Buckley. The band has proudly presented some of his works in the past, but Johnston feels this just may top anything Buckley has previously written.

2014 marks the 100th anniversary of World War I. The band’s other director, Kelly Collins, will debut a charming rendition of Silent Night inspired by the impromptu “Christmas Truce” organized by the opposing German and British soldiers in the trenches of war-torn France. Collins will also present a

lovely medley of favourites from Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker.”

Non-Christmas pieces include the foot-stomping “Platte River Hoedown,” the quirky “Zombie Tango” and the dastardly villainous “March Diabolique.”

Rounding out the program is a selection of excerpts from a Mozart symphony, the charming baroquestyle piece “Little Suite for Band,” and a medley of favourites taken from the always-popular “Fiddler on the Roof.”

The band will continue a fine tradition started by founding musical director Cess Kooyman, of inviting the audience to sing along with us on a few well-known Christmas carols. Get your vocal cords in shape and join us for a fun evening of music.

The concert takes place Saturday, December 6 at the Salmon Arm First United Church, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Performing arts centre makes Aviva semi-finals

Aviva Canada is an insurance company represented by insurance brokers here in Salmon Arm. To support community projects, the company has established a fund of one million dollars for each year. Shuswap Performing

Arts Centre is a contestant, and has received over 3,100 votes and over 733 supporters in the Aviva Community Fund - Round Three of voting, landing the idea in the semi-finalist round.

Voting everyday by supporters is key to landing the Shuswap Performing Arts Centre in the final top 40 ideas. Each finalist will receive $5,000. Final judging takes place by Aviva judges and the idea could be awarded as much as $100,000!

The Aviva Community Fund is all about making a difference by supporting what matters most to Canadians, helping passionate

people make positive change in their community. The Shuswap Society for the Arts & Culture Society is passionate that Salmon Arm deserves a performing arts centre and is working towards achieving that dream. They have entered the idea into the Aviva Community Fund with the goal of winning a grant towards completing a well-researched business plan which would include an economic impact study, as well as capital and operating plans - all required to secure the land required for the project.

Three local Aviva Insurance broker partners, including HubBarton Insurance, have lent their support to this idea.

Voting for the semi-finalist round runs December 1st to 10th, 2014. In order to vote, individuals must register to vote on the Aviva Community Fund website with either an email address or Facebook account.

Once registered, you can vote once per day.

Vote for the Shuswap Centre for the Performing Arts every day by going to www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf21051 A direct link has been provided from www.s-sac.com or at the Facebook page for Shuswap Society for Arts & Culture. If you experience any problems voting, call Jake Jacobson at 250-832-2300 or James Bowlby at 250-832-8383.

Big efforts for the final week of Movember For the second year in a row, the Daughters for Fathers team of Angalena Cross (left) and Destany Dean is raising money for Movember. Last year‚ the efforts by the two twelve-year-olds garnered earnings of over $600, and this year they would like to make it up to $1000.

They have set up tables at Piccadilly Mall and Walmart, and will be at Walmart again this Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Anyone interested in donating can visit their table, or else go to their team website: http://moteam.co/ goatee-girls. Photo contributed.

Missing decorations

Joan O’Brien on Carlin Road has reported that her outdoor Christmas decorations have been stolen earlier this week. She puts out a Christmas display every year including large plastic ornaments, and was dismayed to find one morning that they were missing. Her neighbour has also reported that she had a similar theft.

Please be on the watch for suspicious behaviour in this area, and if you live on Carlin road and have outdoor ornaments, keep an eye on them!

Meditations Read: 1 Corinthians 12: 14-31

Individuals Without Individualism Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? - Luke 6:12 We are all individuals. We have our own names. When our name is mentioned to those who know us, a unique impression registers in their minds. "Yes, that is William" or "That is Susan." God has made people with a great variety of qualities or traits.

God’s love for variety makes daily life interesting and social life enjoyable.

Variety makes the stew tasty and the flower garden exquisite. It fills our days with wonder and adds spice to life. Can you imagine how tiresome the world would be if everyone were just like me? The word individualism means something more than this. It refers to self-centeredness, egoism and possessing an inflated opinion of oneself.

Sometimes it is difficult to discern between being an individual and being individualistic. Some people are more forward by nature. They lead the pack and tend to get into trouble more often. Then there are the backward ones who tend to be more clingy and afraid to say anything original. They seem to be going along for the ride, and they need a push occasionally. They need encouragement to contribute and add spice to the mix.

The question is, can we maintain the uniqueness of the individual without promoting individualism? Can we blend our efforts to promote humility, coupled with love and friendship, while still expressing individual differences? The Word of God tells us we can by putting away pride and appreciating each other.

Let’s work together to be the individuals God wants to use for His glory, without the individualism that tends to ruin the blend. The community of faith greatly benefits by the intensity of flavour and colour that each individual brings to the stew.

- James Baer

Too many hot peppers or too many bland carrots will make the mix unpalatable.

As of October 20, 2014 the penalty for texting and driving has been increased to result in 3 demerit points on top of the original $167 dollar fine. Sufficient demerit points could result in license suspensions and potentially remove unsafe drivers from the road. I am pleased to see laws cracking down on this unsafe driving habit that impacts not only the driver, but also all other road users. The effects can be far more severe than a few demerit points, yet it is an activity that is increasingly more common as younger generations get behind the wheel. Therefore, I believe new drivers should be fully informed about the consequences of texting and driving, and the penalty should reflect the severity of said consequences.

In this generation, texting and driving has become the most common form of distracted driving. Users have essentially become addicted to the constant connection cell phones provide, and are so dependant that they are unable to drive without using them. Speaking as a young driver, I think this problem influences new drivers more than experienced drivers, especially because most of us— myself included, cannot go more than ten minutes without knowing exactly what is going on inside that zone of cellular connection.

Another reason that texting and driving is so common is because it is more “acceptable” than other forms of dangerous driving. For example, if someone were to get behind the wheel with a beer in their hand, any bystander would feel inclined to stop the person or perhaps even call the police, but hardly any of us have the same reaction seeing

somebody behind the wheel with a cell phone in their hand. Surprisingly, statistics from ICBC documenting all fatal crashes in British Columbia reveal that, 29% of fatalities in 2013 were caused by distracted driving while only 23% were caused by impaired driving, and the other 28% were due to speeding. The amount of fatalities induced by distracted driving has been steadily increasing since 2006, when it was only 23%. Through analysis of these statistics it is apparent that distracted driving is an issue that needs to be addressed.

While some people continue to argue that texting does not affect their driving ability, studies through Accident Analysis and Prevention have shown that the use of electronic devices while driving significantly lowers driver’s reaction time, as well as, control of speed and lane positioning (Caird).

As a novice driver, I am very aware of how much distracted driving is happening all the time among other young drivers. It’s scary to hear friends talk about the ‘close calls’ or ‘near crashes’ they’ve experienced due to texting while driving. Even more terrifying is to see these incidents first-hand, by a driver that is paying more attention to their cell phone than to the road. For that reason, I felt compelled to voice my opinion about this unnecessary distraction that influences all road uses. Hopefully the increased penalty of 3 demerit points will encourage people to put down their phones and focus on driving. This is one dangerous habit that needs to be stopped.

Materialistic winter holidays

Winter holidays, Christmas... The December break is no longer the celebration of family and religious tradition. The holiday has become very materialistic. Based on consumer confidence and consuming trends, the humbleness of gift giving has lost its meaning, making gift-giving an expectation rather than a humble act of kindness.

The statistics show that the North American Christmas is a holiday based on consuming, and trying to make sure that friends and relatives get the “perfect” gift. Our society now emphasizes the need to own more, producing an impulse driven and consuming based culture that clearly focuses ones possessions.

Many people say that Christmas is a time to spend with family, and would not dare say that Christmas is about things – though, in fact, it is.

December is when retail sales peak, showing a higher amount of pressure on the consumer to provide gifts. The strong pressure that the consumer experiences then drops in January. There is a significant drop in spending in January compared to in December because of the drop in the social requirement to provide material gift exchange. Many retail stores use these factors to their advantage by lowering their prices and extending their return policies. The lower prices increase impulse purchasing, thus adding to a company’s profitability. Electronics, among multiple other luxury articles are becoming less expensive, contributing to the idea that having more is better. Consumers will purchase more of the next gaming consoles, cell phones and other big ticket items, even if having one would suffice.

According to statista.com, the average person living in the United States in 2002 spent approximately $690 on Christmas gifts and other seasonal items. That number increased to $866 by 2007 before dropping the following year to $616 due to the recession. The amount of money spent on the Christmas holidays has been slowly increasing since then, rising to about $770 per

person in 2012. Another site - eauk.org - said in November of 2013 that one in three adults in the UK expected that they would start 2014 in debt because of their spending for Christmas. In 2012, according to investopedia.com, American parents had planned on spending an average $271 dollars per child, and that one in ten of the parents planned on spending $500 per child.

People are spending more and more on Christmas each year. This is not an unexplained phenomenon. Today’s society is putting more emphasis than ever on the need to consume.

Being that Christmas has always been a gift-giving celebration, it is not surprising that consumers are spending more to meet our current societal need to buy. If it were not due to the recession seen in 2008, the amount of money being spent on gifts and other Christmas based materials would have reached an all-time high. Seeing how societal pressure effects Christmas spending, and the spending trends of people during Christmas season majorly influences marketing, it is not surprising that Christmas is no longer just about family. It is about consuming.

Local winter wine tours

Larch Hills Winery

Larch Hills Winery is a land-based, family-run vineyard and winery owned by Jack and Hazel Manser. All of their product is proudly made from 100 per cent British Columbia grapes, either from the main vineyard just south of Salmon Arm (also the location of the winery and family home), or from contracted vineyards farther south in the Okanagan Valley. All wines are made and bottled at the premises at Salmon Arm. Larch Hills Winery specializes in cool climate grape growing, and has varieties that are generally not available in other parts of B.C. In 1987, the land was total bush. Nobody had grown European varietal wine grapes this far north before. In 1992, after experimenting to find the right types of grape for the local climate, planting began in earnest. The winery opened in April 1997

Recline Ridge

125 Recline Ridge For this coming holiday season, and all of the wonderful meals that are planned, Recline Ridge can definitely provide the perfect wine accompaniment. What Christmas dinner would be complete without a wine to pair with the roast turkey? Recline’s Shuswap Serenade is a proven favourite. As an alternative, for those who may prefer a red wine with their festive meal,

Ovino Winery

with a small release of what has become a signature wine for them – Ortega (vintage 1995). Since then, many other varieties have been added to the list of releases.

Visitors are welcome each day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for tasting and taking in the superb view of the valleys below. You are also welcome to self-tour around the vineyard. In winter, call ahead to check road conditions.

Jack and Hazel are hosting a Christmas Open House this year on Saturday and Sunday, December 6th and 7th, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Shop for your beverages for the holiday season. Hot wine and delicious goodies will be served, as well as normal wine tasting samples.

Ovino holiday picks: 2013 Black Riesling a cousin of Pinot Noir and has an intense cherry and currant aroma. Perfect with a cheese plate and with festive roast dinner.

Momento is tantalizing to red and white wine lovers alike. Perfect for all your holiday entertaining.

Marechal Foch 2012. Enjoy the butterscotch notes of this wine while you curl up beside your warm fireplace.

This wine is great with a wide variety of foods.

2 0 1 3 Blush is a perfect off dry blend, a must with your turkey or game feast.

ATM fundraiser supports local food banks

Support local food banks every time you use a SASCU ATM throughout December.

SASCU holds the fundraiser each year during the Christmas season to support the local food banks as part of its commitment to our communities. For the entire month of December, ten cents from every transaction on all SASCU ATMs is collected and donated. The proceeds help support the Salvation Army Food Bank in Salmon Arm, the Eagle Valley Community Food Bank in Sicamous, and the Sorrento Food Bank.

“SASCU is dedicated to strengthening the communities we serve through fundraisers and our Community Sponsorship program,” says Michael Wagner, CEO of SASCU Financial Group. “Since starting the December ATM Fundraiser in 1996, SASCU has contributed over $60,000.00 to local

food banks during the Christmas season.”

And don’t be surprised if your SASCU ATM withdrawal includes a $50 instead of a $20!

Random $50s will be loaded in each ATM to thank the community for supporting the campaign and local food banks.

There are ten SASCU ATMs in the Shuswap located at our branches, The Mall at Piccadilly, Centenoka Park Mall and Tim Hortons at the Top of the Hill. SASCU ATMs are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week at all locations.

SASCU Financial Group offers a full range of banking, insurance, investment services and financial advice. Our branches are located in Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Sorrento with two locations in Salmon Arm serving the community.

Visit our website at www.sascu.com.

IHA congratulates leaders and champions

Interior Health is congratulating all winners of the 2015 Quality Awards recently awarded by the BC Patient Safety & Quality Council.

Within Interior Health, Dr. Guy Fradet, Medical Director & Cardiac Surgeon, and Carol Laberge, Program Director, Cardiac Services, were honoured with the Leadership in Quality Award.

Kelowna General Hospital implemented a Cardiac Surgery Program in December 2012. The program ensures that patients living within the Interior have access to timely cardiac care closer to home. As part of their quality improvement efforts, Drs. Fradet and Laberge led the development of a comprehensive monthly report card to track outcomes within the program. The two program leads also conduct monthly reviews with their entire interdisciplinary team to address issues, share successes, and encourage new initiatives to sustain program excellence. They discuss issues, acknowledge areas that are doing well and

why, and identify areas that need to be improved.

Congratulations also to Salmon Arm Public Health Nurse Marla Bjorgan, who was recognized with the Everyday Champion Award for her work to increase access to safer injection, safer inhalation and safer sex supplies to help change health outcomes of a population at risk. She received the most votes during the category’s online voting stage.

Local resident fined for failing to file tax returns Salmon Arm, British Columbia – The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announced Friday that a Salmon Arm resident [name withheld] was sentenced on November 19, 2014, in Salmon Arm Provincial Court, after pleading guilty to two counts of failing to comply with requirement to file notices for his 2009 and 2010 personal tax returns. The individual was fined $2,000, payable by December 1, 2015, and given six months to file the outstanding returns.

This information was obtained from the court records.

When taxpayers are convicted of failing to file tax returns, in addition to any fines imposed by

the courts, they must still file the returns and pay the full amount of taxes owing, plus interest owed, as well as any civil penalties that may be assessed by the CRA. If you have ever made a tax mistake or omission, the CRA is offering you a second chance to make things right through its Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP). If you make a valid disclosure before you become aware that the CRA is taking action against you, you may only have to pay the taxes owing plus interest. More information on the VDP can be found on the CRA’s website at www.cra.gc.ca/voluntarydisclosures.

Social media in the elementary school curriculum Read 100 books!

At Vernon Christian School, grades 4 – 6 have been using social media as a learning device. Despite the legal age limit for Facebook being 13 years of age, teacher Jay Donaldson explains how and why this has been a momentous learning opportunity for his students.

In the 21st century classroom we need to be including computing in all subject areas. Every child requires the knowledge and skills that will underpin their future life as effective citizens, workers and leaders. However, today’s students will require a new skill set to work in our rapidly changing world by the time they graduate.

At the elementary level, the objective in computer technology classes are to provide students with an umbrella understanding of how to apply various technologies to a broad range of potential requirements and situations in work and personal use.

Some new skills that I feel carry significant importance required in the popular world of social media are; social etiquette, truthful discernment and responsible communication.

The ‘Information Literacy’ element of the 21st century framework supports this by stating that, “Students should be

able to find, retrieve, analyze, and use information and apply a fundamental understanding of the ethical issues surrounding the access and use of social media information.”

Until recently, I felt that social media was something parents should discuss with their children and was not something that should be brought into the classroom. Although children now have cell phones, iPods or iPads at the age of 9 and 10, they are rarely educated by their parents on the safe and correct use of these communication devices when they access things the internet has to offer.

We have therefore used a social media platform designed for elementary children to use in the classroom.

We used the email feature to discuss the considerations students must make about who they are sending their messages to, the nature of what they are sending, its accuracy and truthfulness, would this be something they would say to the person face-to-face, and could it be repeated to others without hurting someone’s reputation? We actually had a situation one day when one boy sent an inappropriate message about one of the girls in the class, it introduced a tough but real life learning situation.

We have the option of connecting with children in schools overseas, which can provide a way of investigating and understanding other cultures, especially if this linked into a specific topic we are working on.

The Blog feature is used regularly as a wonderful literacy activity. Students write blogs on topics I give them, post them (sometimes with photos) and their friends give them feedback.

Not only are they using the features that they would use in standard social media platforms but students also learn about appropriate communication skills and incorporating proper grammar and spelling.

The aspect of our chosen social media platform that I value the most is the fact that all students can interact with the features regardless of their academic ability. In every class there will always be the exceptional learner, the learners who struggle and the students in between. The functionality is basic, intuitive and systematic and regardless of each child’s computer skill level or education, they are able to send chat messages, emails and post on their blog without assistance from the teacher.

Jay Donaldson has been a regular classroom teacher for 28 years and is currently the computer instructor teaching computers to all grades at Vernon Christian Elementary School. Vernon Christian School uses Petra’s Planet for Schools social media platform.

The Okanagan Regional Library is pleased to announce a wonderful way to make sure your child enjoys some of the best children’s books available at the library!

Beautiful booklists of 100 Books to Read Together Before Kindergarten are available at all branches for parents and caregivers. These booklists have a literature-based activity and a small prize associated with them. Each book on the list was carefully selected by youth services librarians from across the region.

Parents are encouraged to do the following activities with their children aged 0 to 5: 1. Read all 100 books listed and check them off as they do (there is no time limit).

2. Attend at least one storytime at their local library branch.

3. Get a library card for their child.

5. Once completed, go to their library branch to show the booklist to a staff member and receive a small prize for their family.

Early exposure to books and reading have a multiplying effect on children’s success throughout their school years. Why not enjoy reading with your child now and install that life-long love of reading in them?

Special thanks to the Friends of the Library who have generously covered much of the cost for this fun initiative.

For more information about programs at the library for all ages, including babies, toddlers and preschoolers, please visit www.orl.bc.ca.

The purchase and installation of this harness took more than a year to achieve. It was made possible with the generous support of grants from Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union ($1500), CLAC ($1000), and extensive fundraising by the skaters, coordinated by Valerie Dean. The harness was installed by Omega Engineering and the Shaw Centre maintenance staff. The Salmon Arm Skating Club would like to thank the community for its support. Photo contributed.

Leonard Almon Cook

Obituaries

March 1, 1914 - November 20, 2014 Leonard Almon Cook, 100 years of age, passed away peacefully on November 20, 2014 in Salmon Arm. Len was born in Neapolis, Alberta on March 1, 1914 to John and Alice (nee Ward) Cook.

Len lived the first half of his life in the Didsbury and Cremona area of Alberta as a farmer. Len moved his wife, Elizabeth and 8 of his 12 children to Salmon Arm in October of 1967 where he lived the next 47 years of his life.

Len took enjoyment in golfing, hunting, and bowling.

Len continued to golf until the age of 96 and bowl until 98.

Leonard is survived by 11 children: Lloyd (Loretta) Brooks, AB; Daniel Pigeon Lake, AB; Jeanie, Salmon Arm; Linda, Courtney, BC; Kathy (Gary) Calgary, AB; Joan (Mark) Salmon Arm; Evelyn, Salmon Arm; Allan (Barb), Salmon Arm; Shirley (Chris), Salmon Arm; Donna, Salmon Arm; Bryan, Vernon, BC, as well as 25 grandchildren, 30 great grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild.

Dorrine “Dodie” Alberta Holloway

JULY 22, 1915 - NOVEMBER 19, 2014 With sadness we announce the passing of Dodie Holloway at Bastion Place at the age of 99 years.

Dodie is survived and forever loved by Jim, her husband for over 49 years; her daughter, Joan (Andy) Gore; grandson, Randy (Sue) Gore; great granddaughter, Amita Gore; sister in law, Reta Hay; brother in law, Clarence (Pat) Holloway; many wonderful caring nieces, nephews and cousins. Old loving friends who never forgot her plus staff and residents at Bastion Place, who became new dear friends making the last 16 months so much easier for Dodie.

As Dodie wished, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation at Box 265, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4N3.

Online condolences can be sent through Dodie’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

Left to remember Doreen are her special friends, Gary and Cheryl as well as a cousin by marriage, Muriel Murrant of Peace River. Additionally, there are more people that can be counted who enjoyed her loyal long time friendship.

We’re on the net at www.bcclassified.com

Doreen gained great respect for her artistic ability with flowers and for her prowess and love of baking. Her pies, cakes and bread earned her many awards at the Fall Fair, where she convened the baking section for many years.

Donna Lynn Cameron died November 19, 2014 with family and friends at her side. She lived a life of exploration and activism, always finding new experiences and friends. She was born on March 9, 1948 in Toronto, where she also completed her training as a Registered Nurse and raised her daughters on Ward’s Island.

She moved to Salmon Arm in 1989, and this was her home base from then on. She worked as a Community Health Nurse for 15 wonderful years with the Adams Lake Indian Band; as well as work in northern BC and the Yukon, always returning to Salmon Arm before her next adventure. She held a Bachelor of Science degree, and Master of Arts in Buddhist Cognition from SFU, furthering her skills and her understanding of people’s needs. She was also a superb gardener and visual artist whose canvasses opened a rich world of colour and form. Her deepest interest though, lay in spending time with family and friends.

She loved hosting dinner parties, both casual evenings with friends and extravagant dinners complete with hand written menus and fabulous table settings. Of course the evening would not have been complete without suitable beverages. A very few lucky brides also had their wedding cakes prepared by Doreen.

She was an avid reader and very proud of her skills as a wordsmith. She was a well-rounded reader with wide ranging interests. Her full size, unabridged dictionary held pride of place in her living room. Her extensive library brought her a great deal of satisfaction. A love of animals was Doreen’s trademark. She was especially fond of marmalade cats but no matter the colour, any stray cat received her love, a home and veterinary care.

Doreen had a sense of humour like no other and she always said if you couldn’t laugh, especially at yourself, there was no use in living. Her idea of humour closely paralleled that of Maxine, her favourite cartoon character. This attribute stood her in good stead when facing the challenges that life threw at her. She lived life on her own terms and fiercely defended her right to make her own decisions. Doreen was not shy at showing her enthusiasm for living life with passion and sharing her opinions. She often expressed her gratitude to those who helped her remain in her home.

Donations in memory of Doreen may be sent to the Shuswap Branch of the SPCA or to the Shuswap Community Foundation. Email condolences may be sent to Doreen’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com.

Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

It is with deep shock and sadness that the Morris Family announces the sudden passing of Brian Edward Morris at only 51 years young, on November 7, 2014 at Little White Lake, BC. He is survived by his wife, Angelina, and her children; Douglas Reyes (Mariko), Jane Reyes and granddaughter Kiana; his mother Darlene & father Brian, his sisters; Sandra (Lee), Sherryl (Al), and Susan (Trevor). Brian’s pride and joy was his life as a Captain in the White Lake Volunteer Fire Department (WLVFD).

He was very active in the White Lake Community Association and the White Lake Residents’ Association.

He was also an avid fisherman who spent many hours on White Lake, and an aspiring musician who played sax, drums, guitar and harmonica as well as some pretty decent vocals. He became a popular host for a Salmon Arm community radio program, Vinyl Suitcase on Voice of the Shuswap CKVS 93.7 FM. A radio program tribute to Brian is planned for November 28 at 7:00 p.m.; November 30 at 10:00 a.m., and December 2 at 3:00 p.m.

Lakeshore News travels to...

Quebec City

Freda and Clyde Bostrom of Salmon Arm travelled by train from Quebec City to Ottawa, after cruising from Boston to Quebec City in September.

They said that the cruise to New England and the Maritimes was fantastic, with nine Gaither concerts on board. They enjoyed each stop for a day, eating lobster in Maine, touring to Peggy’s Cove, experiencing a ceilidh in Cape Breton, Green Gables, and historic

Quebec City. The train trip to Ottawa was a bonus add-on.

Freda is pictured

Destinations for winter adventures

(NC) There’s no reason to postpone your next vacation until the weather warms up again – some of the most remarkable experiences on the planet involve packing a couple extra layers.

“There are plenty of destinations that are even better in the winter months,” says Pierre-Jean Mayol at Aeroplan, one of Canada’s leading loyalty programs.

Here are some can’t-go-wrong suggestions to get you started: 1. Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park – In the winter, Lamar Valley’s nearly treeless expanse becomes prime location for viewing its elusive wolf packs.

2. Gullfoss, Iceland – The spectacular Gullfoss Waterfalls’ majesty is heightened in winter when the roaring falls are surrounded by substantial ice and snow.

3. Le Massif de Charlevoix, Petite-RivièreSaint-François, Quebec –Combine the highest skiable drop east of the Rockies with the gusto of Daniel Gauthier, co-founder of Cirque du Soleil for a mountain-train-hotel experience unlike anything in the world.

4. Lake Baikal, Siberia, Russia – This explorer’s gem, the world’s oldest freshwater lake at 25 million years, transforms into a pristine 12,200-square-mile ice rink during the midwinter months. For the complete deep freeze experience, snack on Siberian pine nuts and warm up with a creamy whitefish soup at a local café.

5. Tromso, Norway – In Tromso, the northern lights illuminate magical fjords and snowy mountains. They also provide an unrivaled backdrop for the city’s all-night parties and spirited street scene.

Are you desperate to witness awe-inspiring wildlife in its natural habitat? Relax with a glass of wine after a day of amazing skiing? Mayol reminds us that the trip of a lifetime is much closer than you think. “Our members can redeem miles for Air Canada and the Star Alliance network which offer travel to more than 1,300 destinations worldwide.”

Pick a place, pack your bags and get ready for something truly amazing. To find out how to redeem and earn miles, visit www.aeroplan.com today. www.newscanada.com

Foul smells, furnaces, and fondant

Hi Reena, My garburator has a nasty odour coming up from the drain. I have tried baking soda on its own, baking soda and vinegar and also scrubbed the rubber gasket. I have tossed down lemons and run the garburator, and no difference. I have even poured a small amount of household ammonia down the drain and the sour smell lingers.

We will be away for a month this winter and I wonder if this will just get worse. Thanks for taking the time to respond – any suggestions are appreciated.

You helped me out last year with the granite mortar and pestle question I had and your solution worked like a charm. Thanks to you, I spent the summer happily bashing garlic and herbs with no problem! We live in the country and use a water softener if that makes any difference.

Thanks again, Deborah Hi Deborah, Food that is chopped up in the disposal is not always properly washed down the garburator and accumulates on the side walls of the disposal. If food gets old, it will decay and smell like compost. One of the causes for this is that not enough water is run into the disposal after food has been ground up.

To fix this you will need to call in a plumber or clean the unit yourself by disconnecting the pipe that leaves the disposal from the drain system under your sink. Purchase a rubber test cap and attach it to the tube end of the pipe and tighten the clamp. Put an empty bucket under the end of the pipe. Fill the disposal with water, the water will back up into the sink. Turn the water off when it is level with the top of the strainer basket in the sink bottom. Pour half cup baking soda and half cup vinegar (or household ammonia) into the drain. Leave for one hour to give the solution a chance to loosen up the food particles.

Loosen the clamp and let the water pour into the bucket.

Reconnect the disposer to the plumbing drain system. Put the plug into the sink and fill the sink with hot soapy water, baking soda and vinegar. Leave for one hour and drain. Regularly drop ice cubes, or, as you said, lemon and orange peels through the garbage disposal helps to freshen. If the smell remains, call in a licensed plumber to check out the system.

Dear Reena, I had a new high-efficiency furnace installed last year, and this winter I have had problems with my front and side doors freezing up.

Sometimes I cannot get the handles to move or the key in the lock when leaving or entering the house, and sometimes the ice buildup around the door makes it almost impossible to open. My storm doors have a thick white frost on them. I run a dehumidifier in the basement constantly.

The guy who installed the furnace came in three weeks ago and disconnected the cold air return but it has made no difference; since I still have heat I am last on the list for return calls.

I called hydro and they suggested running the furnace fan but that just gives cool air plus I don’t think it makes the furnace very high efficiency to run while the dehumidifier is running as well.

Do you have any suggestions? I have been in this house for 16 years and never had a problem with the doors before. Yours sincerely, Y Dear Y, Normally frost build-up is a result of vents, heating ducts or cold air returns being blocked or drafts around doorframes and windows; these drafts are not obvious until the really cold days

Friday, November 28, 2014 Lakeshore News A33

Solutions&Substitutions

By Reena Nerbas hit. It may be worth your while to re-insulate doorframes and add new weather stripping wherever ice build-ups are a challenge. It is also wise to have the humidity level tested because the dehumidifier may not be taking out enough moisture. Hydro’s suggestion to run the fan constantly is quite common because proper air circulation is key. I am hoping that the furnace installer makes another appearance before the weather warms up since this was not an issue prior to the installation of the new furnace.

Feedback from readers who care: Dear Reena, In regards to the lady with the wallpaper removal problem, there is a much simpler solution than what you gave. I have done this many times: fill a spray bottle about three-quarters full of liquid fabric softener for your washing machine. Fill remainder with hot water and just spray on the walls. Leave for about 5-7 minutes, pull at edge and voila, off it comes! The glue can then just be washed away with very mild solution of dish detergent. Hope this helps, Mary Hi Reena, I noticed your suggestions for wallpaper glue removal and wish to share our experience with removing 65-year-old glue from our walls. We removed the paper off but the glue was like a rough concrete surface. I used unscented fabric softener sheets soaked in a liter or so of hot water and scrunched them up until the water was milky. Use a rag to apply to the wall, wait a few minutes for it to soak in and then use either a 4” or 6” blade to scrape it or the Scotch Brite type of pads to scrub down the wall. The wall didn’t care if the solution put on it was icky looking- it worked. I peeled about 3’ square at a time and rinsed well with clean water. Some areas were really tough and took 2 or 3 applications. TSP did not work for us at all on the glue and when I inquired at the various paint companies regarding TSP, I was told it is an unnecessary step and wasn’t needed if the wall was clean. We have had no issues with paint peeling or blistering but we had primed with a good primer as the original primer under the wallpaper and glue was oil based. Perhaps this will help out a few others.

Nan Fantastic tips of the week!

• For a super smooth cupcake appearance, use rolled fondant instead of regular icing. Roll fondant as usual. Lightly ice cupcake with buttercream to prevent fondant from sliding. Cover the entire cupcake with fondant or cut out circles and place fondant circles on top of each cupcake.

Add iced decorations to finish off the masterpiece.

• For a fondant look without using fondant: Purchase or make your own buttercream icing.

Thin the icing with water so that it becomes easy to pour but not runny. Pour over, top and sides and smooth with a metal spatula. Let dry 30 mins. By now the thinned icing will have thickened slightly, pour another layer onto cupcakes and smooth. Decorate top and sides with sprinkles.

I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming. Missed a column? Can’t remember a solution? Need a motivational speaker for an upcoming event? Check out my website Reena. ca.
