Apps and digital maps shuswapoutdoors

It’s easier now than ever before to go for a quite walk in the woods. You may have to find an out-of-theway spot to avoid the activity out there. Just go to Google Earth.

It’ll show where most logging is occurring; where the Trail Alliance routes comb the forest; where Salmon Arm city hiking trails start and end, such as Coyote Park (where you can take dogs), or the SABNES trail that spans the distance between the wharf and lower Raven subdivision.

On the subject of hunting, two friends and I planned a moose hunt in the Caribou Lake area above Malakwa last fall. With Google Earth, we found all water courses, drainages, huge freshly harvested logging cut blocks of spruce/balsam.

Fortunately, the area around Caribou Lake and its beautiful stands of mature 200-year-old spruce is a conservation area, or they’d log it too. Again, forest companies use mapping and information on temperate tree species zones to determine mature stands of timber, and they Google sites for roads, culverts, or ‘leave strips’

for wildlife/buffer zones along streams, all using Google Earth in their harvesting processes.

An article last fall in Field and Stream Outdoor Magazine illustrated, for each state, when the rut for whitetail bucks would start and end, recommending prime times to be out there hunting, and possible success rates. In Texas, a company developed an app to harvest a deer on a private ranch at the click of a mouse. There was such a concern raised by the outdoor hunting fraternity that it was shut down.

Technology has taken over hunting and fishing activity for many, with the use of updated GPS units determining where your buddies are while in the field. Memory cards from trail cameras can be quickly placed into a laptop in the truck to ascertain which critters are roaming about in the immediate vicinity.

But even better is the increasing use of drones. While watching high riding jumpers of dirt bikes at the Sturgess North show in Sicamous last summer, a camera-equipped drone was flying overhead to get photos.

Maybe in future walks

in the woods, you may be sitting on a log enjoying some lunch, when a drone comes flippin’ along above the tree tops, checking on beetle kill in trees, or water courses for domestic use, deer/ moose counts, or a multitude of other uses. Search and rescue crews and RCMP are now using these high-tech devices for a number of reasons.

I’ve often thought if a fishing line with hook, bait and lure could be trolled from a makeshift drone over a fishy lake, while being controlled from a comfy spot on shore, it would be kinda cool! Well, in a recent article in Weekend Review of the Vancouver Sun, I read about a Swedish company that has developed an app called FishBrain.

Shared photos from anglers have been gathered to determine when and where fish will bite. The social network employs an algorithm of when and where to drop a line for different species, based on the 225,000 catches that users have logged onto their site. The company, which was founded in 2011, and introduced its app last year, now has 650,000 users, over two third of which are from the US.

Friday, January 2, 2015 Lakeshore News A3

by Hank Shelley

There, anglers spend, on average, $46 billion annually on bait, tackle, and gear. For marketing, FishBrain relies on word of mouth and Facebook ads. Their app shows anglers with their latest catches and angling tips on how to catch the big ones.

Future updates may offer users gear, bait, and angling permits.

For us here in our small part of the world, we can glean lots of information online.

But don’t ya think it’s still nice to speculate on what lake to fish while the BS session goes on at Tim Hortons over a double double, or the latest from the local fish and game club!?

Here and there in the Shuswap With the recent winter solstice, and the local lakes gleaming with ice, changes are occurring with the trout therein. Their metabolism has slowed from the feeding frenzies of insect life they know, and they are now searching out invertebrates in weed patches.

The colder water settles to the bottom, where they will stay.

Although we haven’t used the FishBrain app yet, a friend has travelled to various lakes

recently to determine ice conditions and good fishing sites.

Gardom Lake: anglers are just now starting to fish, but the ice is very thin. Try shrimp/worm/ powerbait in green/ orange. Green (Joyce), Pillar: Falkland anglers are busy on these lakes.

Phillips: Thin ice, but large fish. I’d suggest waiting a while, and using shrimp/small jigs/wet weighted flies.

Climate change is having an effect on many lakes, including an increase in pH levels in some lakes. The light snow pack has reduced flows in many streams and rivers with weather extremes.

Hopefully 2015 will bring you all the things you’ve hoped for, including happiness within. Happy hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, and good health!

Looking back on a great year for conservation

With the close of 2014, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) celebrates a successful 40th year of conserving and caring for ecologically important lands in British Columbia.

Through land purchases and donations, NCC’s British Columbia region secured 1,961 acres (793 hectares) of diverse habitat, including remote forested land along the Klinaklini River in the Chilcotin, a dry forest and wetland complex in the East Kootenay and productive native grasslands in the Nicola Valley. Since 1974, NCC has conserved over 1 million acres (400,000 hectares) in British Columbia.

Over the past 12

months, staff and interns monitored and carried out stewardship activities on more than 50 NCC conservation areas across the province, from Vancouver Island to Haida Gwaii to the Okanagan to the Kootenays.

NCC’s stewardship work is helped by a growing legion of Conservation Volunteers, with over 600 people coming out to 89 events. Volunteers planted trees, cleared out invasive species, tended seedlings, planted trees, built paths, banded migratory songbirds, counted species and so much more.

These efforts amount to an in-kind value of $68,000.

The BC Region will head into 2015 with agreements with three private landowners

who have agreed to sell their properties for permanent conservation.

These projects span the province, from the west coast to the Okanagan to the Kootenays, and will secure valuable habitat for many species at risk. These projects will be formally announced when the funds are raised and purchases are complete.

Top marks by third party evaluators: Two independent studies aimed at helping Canadians make decisions about their gift-giving have ranked NCC as Canada’s top environmental charity.

The Financial Post’s review of Canada’s 86,000 registered charities ranked the Nature Conservancy of Canada in its Top 25, listing it

as highest-ranked environmental charity with an “A” grade, noted for efficiency, impact and transparency.

In December, MoneySense Magazine awarded honours to NCC as the top Environmental Charity in Canada for the 5th consecutive year. It issued an overall grade of “A” during its annual evaluation of the top 100 charities in Canada.

The Nature Conservancy of Canada is honoured to receive any support for its work in British Columbia. To contribute, visit www. natureconservancy.ca/ donate and be sure to put British Columbia in the comment box, or call the BC Region office toll-free at 1-888404-8428.

Bad posture – Part I Focus directsanalogy ourdoesn’t future just apply to best In my office, we regularly take a full series of

It’s that time of year again when I start talking about making a list of New Year’s resolutions and my husband starts declaring his disdain for them.

“The majority of people making them fail,” he’ll say. “So why bother?”

I did some internet research and study after study confirmed he was right. That still didn’t dampen my enthusiasm for them though.

As far as I can tell, one of the biggest reasons most of us don’t succeed with our resolutions is because we have an all-or-nothing mentality, and we tend to view our first setback as absolute failure, rather than a mere obstacle to overcome.

For example, if one of my goals is to get in better physical shape, I can’t give up just because I consumed an entire box of Oreo cookies in one sitting. I have to acknowledge I didn’t make the wisest decision in getting closer to reaching that particular goal, and prepare to make better choices going forward.

A well-developed plan that allows for these occasional missteps can make the difference. We shouldn’t be so hard on ourselves by expecting to be perfect. Instead, we should aim to be persistent.

I’ve looked at some of my lists from years past and I can see that the more thought I put into each goal, the better my results have been.

From experience I now know that “write a book” is too broad and vague as is – it needs a detailed strategy. To accomplish this objective I must tackle it in more manageable bite-sized chunks.

Author E. L. Doctorow once said: “Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” This

selling historical novels, but to any lofty goal.

Breaking down our big ambitions into smaller, more achievable tasks can keep us from getting overwhelmed and feeling stuck.

Another important element to realizing our dreams is our willingness to seriously focus on them – not just when we create our lists, but when our motivation dwindles and we lose our way. That’s when we need to take some time to re-focus and re-commit.

In the past year, I found myself needing to do that often. Life can get messy and becoming distracted can easily blur our vision and take our eyes off the prize.

For that reason I’m a sucker for fresh starts.

The first of a new year is my favourite, but a new month, new week or even a new day is also a great opportunity to re-energize.

And just thinking about what I want to accomplish is never enough. I need to personally document my intentions to solidify and prioritize their level of importance.

New Year’s resolutions, to me, are simply a written list of attainable goals that I plan on achieving in the following year. Imperfection will inevitably play a part, as will persistence and a constant re-focusing as I go along.

But to avoid working for the future rather than living in the present – a mistake I’ve made before – I will be sure to include the following as one of the most important goals on my list: “Enjoy the process.”

Life is too short to do it any other way.

spinal x-rays when a new patient comes in for their first visit. Digital x-ray play an important role in chiropractic care because it is a clear way to assess an individual’s spinal health for any problems such as degenerative disc disease, fractures, bone spurs and spinal stenosis (nerve pinching). In addition to checking for the above-mentioned pathologies, one of the more important aspects of chiropractic x-rays is to properly assess the alignment of the spine and the presence of proper spinal curves.

Unfortunately, many people’s spines will show varying amounts of scoliosis (misalignments and curves to the side), sideways shifts, and most commonly, a loss of normal curve in the neck. In fact, a very high percentage of the x-rays I take show a loss of the normal cervical lordosis (backwards curve of the neck). This loss of cervical curve is what pushes the head forward leading to poor posture and it has a significant impact on overall health and nervous system function.

Not only is poor posture outwardly visible on an individual, what happens inside the spine is actually more detrimental to health. First, the head is heavy, so when it shifts forward it places a lot of extra pressure down on the disc structures and accelerates the degenerative process of the spine.

Next, a loss or even worse, a reversal of the cervical curve also significantly interferes with the nervous system. Chronic neck flexion and loss of curve has been found to cause compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots. This often leads to pain, headaches, neck and shoulder tension as well as arm numbness, pain and weakness. More importantly it has also been shown to cause demyelination of the spinal cord; which is similar degeneration of the spinal cord that occurs in multiple sclerosis.

As you can see from above, poor posture is not just an “aesthetics” problem. It has a significant impact on spinal and nervous system health and function. However, it’s not all doom and gloom.

There are ways chiropractors help with these problems and that will be the topic of my article next week.

How to win the battle with cold and flu

(NC) Despite our best efforts to stay healthy during the winter, we can’t always get through the cold and flu season without a nasty bout of runny nose, ceaseless coughing, fever, and a pounding headache. If you’ve contracted a bug, the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) has some simple suggestions to minimize all the aches and pains and get you back to feeling healthy sooner: Zinc: Taking a zinc supplement is a great way to speed up recovery from a cold. This essential nutrient has been shown to prevent rhinovirus (the most common cause of a cold) from reproducing, stopping the affliction in its tracks. For best results, and even to help prevent catching a cold at all, try including a zinc supplement as part of your regular regime.

Vitamin C: This nutrient, readily available in many foods, helps to prevent immune deficiencies

so getting enough throughout the year is an effective preventative measure. Consuming plenty of vitamin C-rich foods like bell peppers, dark leafy greens and citrus fruits is an important way to get your daily recommended dose. Higher concentrations of vitamin C, found in natural supplements, can also help to minimize the duration of a cold that has already afflicted you.

Echinacea: This helpful herb comes in many forms, including teas, juices, tinctures, and a wide variety of solid tablets. Time is of the essence however. It is important to begin using echinacea as soon as cold or flu symptoms appear.

There are many natural ways to stay healthy and happy throughout the winter and all year long. Find out more at chfa.ca and speak to your health care provider about the products and dosages that are right for you.

Christmas in the woods

In the woods just west of Blind Bay there’s a meadow where the Shuswap Hiker Ladies have decorated a tree for the Christmas season. Dog walkers out in the meadow were also invited to add their own decorations.

The Hiker Ladies will take down the decorations again after the holidays.

SFU scientists put bedbugs to bed

One hundred eighty thousand bedbug bites later, SFU scientists have discovered chemical attractants for creating the world’s first effective and affordable bedbug bait and trap.

The world owes a debt of gratitude to Simon Fraser University biologist Regine Gries. Her arms have provided a blood meal for more than a thousand bedbugs each week for five years while she and her husband, biology professor Gerhard Gries, searched for a way to conquer the global bedbug epidemic.

Working with SFU chemist Robert Britton and a team of students, they have finally found the solution—a set of chemical attractants, or pheromones, that lure the bedbugs into traps, and keep them there.

This month, after a series of successful trials in bedbug-infested apartments in Metro Vancouver, they have published their research, Bedbug aggregation pheromone finally identified, in Angewandte Chemie, a leading general chemistry journal.

They’re working with Victoriabased Contech Enterprises Inc. to develop the first effective and affordable bait and trap for detecting and monitoring bedbug infestations. They expect it to be commercially available next year.

“The biggest challenge in dealing with bedbugs is to detect the infestation at an early stage,” says

Gerhard, who holds an NSERCIndustrial Research Chair in Multimodal Animal Communication Ecology.

“This trap will help landlords, tenants, and pest-control professionals determine whether premises have a bedbug problem, so that they can treat it quickly. It will also be useful for monitoring the treatment’s effectiveness.”

It’s a solution the world has been waiting for.

Over the last two decades the common bedbug (Cimex lectularius), once thought eradicated in industrialized countries, has reappeared as a global scourge. These nasty insects are infesting not just low-income housing but also expensive hotels and apartments, and public venues such as stores, movie theatres, libraries and even public transit.

And while these blood-sucking pests were previously not considered a carrier of disease, scientists have recently discovered they can transmit the pathogen that causes Chagas disease, which is prevalent in Central and South America. Yet until now, tools for detecting and monitoring these pests have been expensive and technically challenging to use.

The research was funded with a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada industry grant in partnership with Contech Enterprises Inc.

The colour poo-bahs at Pantone have declared “Marsala” as their colour of the year for 2015.

You can expect to see this colour in advertising, the “What’s New and What’s Hot” magazine articles, and in accessories in the home dec stores. It’s a muddy burgundy; some of you will choose it for an accent cushion, or maybe a new purse, but it’s such a peculiar colour I don’t see it fitting into most decor plans easily.

Benjamin Moore has selected “Guilford Green” as their colour. It is a clear, soft greyedgreen particularly well suited to pairing with the fresh colours so popular right now. It looks wonderful with white trim and can move between classic, modern and traditional interiors. I can see this one being used by people in this area.

It’s new and fresh and clean and easy to look at.

Sherwin Williams has chosen “Coral Reef,” a pinky-coral colour that makes me think of summer. Looks very good with white.

Pittsburgh Paints has chosen “Blue Paisley.” I think of it as John Player Blue; it’s very vibrant, really bright, another clear colour best suited to pairing with other clear colours.

CIL’s “Hidden Harbour” is a toned-down, ever-so-slightly greyed middle blue. Pair it with white.

Behr covered all the bases with combinations: Deep Dreams, Frosted Pastels, Social Brights and Nuanced Neutrals.

Most of the companies chose a clear colour.

The only one that is muddy is Marsala. The trend in home decor colours now is still in the early stages of the grey, white and black phase. (Here, it’s been on the coast for a few years.) Not a brown in sight; trends last about ten years; we are seeing the end of the brown trend and the colours of the year reinforce that. Clear colours work with grey, white and black. Muddy colours not so much.

What does this mean to you? Expect to see fewer and fewer brown-based accessories. There will be less decorator fabric in earth tones. I was looking for hunter green drapery velvet the other week, and I didn’t have any hunter green anything in my 150 fabric books. The earth tones are going away for a while, but don’t worry. They will be back. In about eight years.

See samples of all the colours on the website Designsewlutions.ca.

DONATE LIFE-SAVING BLOOD AT ARMSTRONG’S BLOOD DONOR CLINIC During open heart surgery, a heart-lung machine needs many pints of blood pumped through a patient while the heart is repaired. Accidents require blood transfusions for a victim who lost blood on the side of the road.

On January 9 and 10 from 2 to 6 p.m., a blood donor clinic will be held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church at 3335 Patterson St., Armstrong. Book your appointment at www.blood.ca or 1-888-236-6283. It’s in you to give!

BECOME AN HR MANAGER, ONLINE Ashton College in downtown Vancouver is offering a human resources management diploma to students who study online. Ashton College is a post-secondary institution delivering comprehensive career and continuing education to both domestic and international students.

For information, search the web for Ashton College, call 604-899-0803 or write info@ashtoncollege.com.

I TOOK A TWO-YEAR CORRESPONDENCE COURSE Long before the internet, I took a two-year correspondence course in Hospital Administration. Being a threeyear nurse, the only way I could advance in B.C. was to get at degree at UBC, but I couldn’t leave three little kids in Salmon Arm. I met a Saskatchewan nursing supervisor at a conference and she said the university in Saskatoon offered a correspondence course for staff in the many small hospitals in that province. I applied and was accepted. Yvonne Ross, a Salmon Arm nurse working in Summerland, took it at the same time. All students met for two weeks on campus every spring. I passed, received a diploma, and then started this newspaper in 1975.

“WHY DON’T YOU JOIN A CHOIR?” After one of my friends read how much I enjoyed singing carols with a group of women, she asked why I didn’t join a choir. I said I hate weekly practices. Do you feel the same way?

LET’S SING UKRAINIAN CHRISTMAS CAROLS On Saturday, Jan. 10 at 11 a.m., come and sing Ukrainian Christmas Carols in the Anglican church hall.

Use the entrance at 170 Shuswap St., half a block from the Husky station. We’ll have some kutya, the traditional Christmas dish. It is boiled wheat and poppy seeds in a syrup of honey and water. Bring the family. Those who enjoy singing are invited to come to the Anglican church at 10 a.m. on Sunday, January 11 and we’ll sing Ukrainian carols during communion from the upper seating area.

Kootia will be available at coffee time.

TWO SASKATCHEWAN THEOLOGIANS WILL BE AT AN INDUCTION SERVICE Bishop James Cowan will be inducted as the incumbent (priest) of the Salmon Arm Anglican Parish on Sunday, January 18 at 4 p.m. at St. John’s Anglican Church in Salmon Arm. A reception will follow.

Archbishop John Privett (Archbishop of Kootenay Diocese) of Kelowna will preside. The two know one another well. Wikipedia says both were educated at the University of Saskatchewan. James Cowan was ordained a priest in 1977 following a year as deacon, and John Privett was ordained a priest in 1982 following a year as deacon.

A similar service will take place at St. James Anglican

Church in Armstrong at 7 p.m. January 18, when Bishop James Cowan will be inducted as incumbent of the Armstrong/Enderby Parish. A reception will follow.

THANKS, LANDLORD, FOR THE WARNING I had a phone call from a man who asked if I had a place to rent. I said it was taken. He said he is a landlord and he was calling to warn me about a man and woman who are terrible tenants. “Don’t rent to them. They don’t pay, and they know the rules.” He had just evicted them after three months, which is what the Rental Tenancy Board allows. He was frustrated!

I wish there was a registry for tenants in this area, where they could be rated one to ten. In the meantime, if you want the name of the couple in the landlord’s warning, call me at 250-832-4831.

LANDLORDS: HAVE AN INSPECTION FORM SIGNED AT THE START AND END OF A TENANCY What a tenant says is a “cleaned rental unit” and what is actually left could be two different things. Be sure to have the tenant sign the inspection form with you. DO NOT return the damage deposit as the tenant is leaving, no matter how much the tenant pleads. I put a stop-payment on a cheque once because so many deficiencies showed up when a new tenant moved in. A landlord has 15 days to return it.

Tenants are often very knowledgeable with computers and can read the Rental Tenancy Act. If you are a landlord who does not have a computer, pick up a Guide for Landlords and Tenants in British Columbia. Be sure it is the Residential Tenancy Act, because there is also a Guide for Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act. They are available at Service BC’s offices.

I LOVE THE SILVERBACKS! Our Jr. A hockey team won both home-and-home games with Trail before they left for their Christmas break. It’s been a tough season for them because of many injuries. At least five sat in an upper row of Section A at every game, dressed in suits. I hope they will be rested and recovered for their home game tonight, Jan. 2 against West Kelowna.

The injured players were replaced by affiliated players.

They are from the list of 18 Junior and Midget players selected from surrounding communities. What great experience for them, even if they arrive without a practice, because they might get to play full-time for the Silverbacks next year.

BEAUTIFUL HOCKEY CHRISTMAS CARD Twenty-two players in their Silverbacks’ sweaters were at Jesperson Solvang Tree Farm for a gathering, and posed for a Christmas card picture. Each player initialed the card, and the greeting gave season’s wishes to corporate partners, season ticket holders, billet families and support team.

We are so fortunate to have these young men in Salmon Arm. President/general manager Troy Mick deserves a lot of credit for the friendly, well-disciplined boys who live in Salmon Arm. The Silverbacks are a great business in our city.

During the players’ Christmas break, the boys headed home to Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, B.C., and two each flew to Colorado, Florida and New York.

LET’S DIVIDE UKRAINE, RUSSIA SAID IN ’08 & ‘14 Russia’s President Putin proposed to Poland’s leader in 2008 during his visit to Moscow that they divide Ukraine among themselves. Poland was not interested in carving a neighbour.

Following Russia’s annexation of Crimea in March, 2014, the Russian parliamentary speaker sent a letter to the governments of Poland, Romania and Hungary, proposing a joint division of Ukraine.

Russia is still trying to take over Ukraine, especially the two parts with industry: Donetsk and Luhansk regions, controlled by rebels who want independence from Ukraine, and now want to join Russia. Close to 5,000 people have been killed in the war between Ukraine and the two Russian-supported regions in 2014.

For the past year I have been following the happenings in Ukraine by searching the internet morning and night. I have deep roots there because my father was born in Ukraine. I have been there three times, and have relatives in Lviv.

“HOW THE RUSSIANS STOLE MY GOVERNMENT” The Nov. 1947 Reader’s Digest has an article written by the ex-premier of Hungary when he was living in the U.S. It was condensed from the Saturday Evening Post.

The Readers Digest was brought to me at a hockey game

by Ray, a Ukrainian friend who keeps it in his car and shows it to all his friends.

The article states communists infiltrated Hungary, controlled the government, and starved the people. As time passed, more and more government jobs went to Russian people. Russians bought shares in Hungarian factories, Stalin made many promises. He denied, denied, denied, as Putin is doing over activities in Ukraine. Communist newspapers accused Hungarian leaders, a coup was held, and all Hungarian diplomats resigned. The same communist tactics used then are being used in Ukraine today: divide and rule. It’s sad.

FOUND: MEN’S MERRELL RUNNERS While walking Canoe Beach with my Citizens’ Patrol partner on the afternoon of Dec. 13, we found a new pair of men’s large running shoes still in their box. They were near the gate, and must have been there several days because the box and runners were soaked. If you know someone who lost his new size 13 runners, call me at 250-832-4831.

FOREIGN CAREGIVERS NO LONGER LIVE-IN For 30 years, the West Coast Domestic Workers’ Assoc. has been asking the federal immigration department to eliminate the live-in requirement because it opened the possibility of exploitation and abuse. The Nov. 1 Vancouver Sun reported that the requirement has been dropped.

An Express Entry program will be introduced this January for skilled workers. It will be possible for live-in caregivers who apply through the program to arrive as permanent residents. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831 The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of Sally Scales and do not necessarily represent those of Lakeshore News and its staff.

Annual Christmas Bird Count sees high numbers of waxwings

The Christmas Bird Count, held on Sunday, December 21st, was the 44th count in which the Shuswap Naturalist Club has participated. There were 71 species of birds identified on the count and with the phone-in from the feeder count, at press time the number was expected to be close to the 80 mark, which is a high average. There were high numbers for Canada Geese, Rock Pigeo,n and European Starlings, but the Bohemian Waxwings more than held their ground with very large numbers as well.

New Years’ resolutions revisited

remember to wear his sombrero and sun screen while enjoying retirement in Mexico.

PASS – Ron continues to avoid heat stroke and/or sun burn while putting up his feet in Mexico. The only problem is he isn’t putting up his feet much as he is busy repairing his place from the hurricane this past fall.

4.

Mall Arkey Junior will eat in moderation whenever there is a big holiday meal (ie.

Easter, Thanksgiving etc).

Talk about setting yourself up to fail!

FAIL – I can’t even go to the movie theatre without overeating.

3.

Mall Arkey Junior will work on trying to wear matching clothes and not worry so much about his lawn. PASS – I just ask my wife each morning what I’m supposed to wear; it is easier that way.

2.

The Mayes family will avoid mouse-infested campsites or remember to bring Duma camping with them. FAIL – Hit the mouse jackpot camping once again this past year. Why break tradition?!

1. And, as usual, our number 1 resolution is to ensure we have fun

and enjoy life; so long as I don’t pull my hamstring doing it!

PASS – As always we had a fun year and even managed to do it without pulling a muscle!

7 out of 10 isn’t too bad! How many people can say they accomplished 70% of their New Year’s resolutions? I think I’ll pat myself on the back!

Happy New Year and good luck with those resolutions!

ALL Shocks & Struts Must be

Expires Feb 28/2013

Typically ol’ Mall Arkey Junior puts together an annual list of Mall Arkey New Year’s resolutions.

However, Marianne said she doesn’t want to make any New Year’s resolutions this year. So seeing as the ladies have veto power over me, we will forego the resolutions for 2015.

Are resolutions that bad? Is it that we set such lofty goals that we let ourselves down by not conquering them? The easiest way to find that out is to look back at last year’s resolutions and grade ourselves on how we did. Maybe we don’t have to feel so guilty after all!

So here we go again…

10. Duma will take a feline safety course. In particular, she will focus on the “Avoid Vehicles” section. PASS – Duma didn’t get hit by any cars this past year.

9.

Mall Arkey Junior will encourage not only his children, but his nephews and parents to take an “Escalator Training 101” course. PASS – we went an entire year without an escalator incident in 2014.

Knock on wood!

8.

Mall Arkey Junior will not embark on 50 kilometre bike rides with young children without packing a proper survival pack which includes a decent tow rope. It would also be advisable to train for two months prior. PASS – I learned my lesson and didn’t try any bikes

over 10 km so there was no need to pack a tow rope to pull my youngest back to home base.

7.

The Junior Bean Counter will not sell the Christmas gifts he received for at least a year. He also won’t sell things he doesn’t own. PASS – The Junior Bean Counter managed to go an entire without selling something of his or his family’s without their permission.

6.

The Mayes Boys will remember to feed Duma and clean her litter box every day so that Dad doesn’t have to do it.

FAIL – Add this to the 2015 resolution list!

Duma would starve if it wasn’t for ol’ Dad. 5.

Horseshoe news

By Faith Juell The Salmon Arm Horseshoe Club held its final gathering of 2014, a Christmas social on Thursday, December 18th at the Kriegs’ home.

Approximately 20 members and spouses were able to attend during the busy season.

They enjoyed a lot of visiting, hot apple cider, finger foods, appies and dessert, all potluck style. It was a good time to try new recipes and sample each others’ goodies. It was their last chance to get together before leaving for Christmas holidays.

With the mild winter and green grass during the Christmas season, the horseshoe pits were looking tempting to some. If it wasn’t for the cold and damp, a few shoes could be pitched. In the past years on milder days, the hardier ones among us would practice in January. During the winter months, most members participate in other sports, such as curling, bowling, darts, pool, and card games. Good luck to all in their various activities.

In the meantime, Happy New Year to all members and their families, and to those who are traveling, enjoy your time away.

In our beautiful springtime, watch for the notice of start-up times. New members and guests are always welcome. Come out to pitch for good exercise, great fun and fellowship. For information call president Doug Winslow at 250-832-8520 or Faith Juell at 250-832-9873.

School facilities survey

How will the school district manage its school facilities in order to deliver its educational programs?

How should facilities be configured to best support the education of our students? Should space be provided in schools for community programs? What does a school district of 5,500 students look like? Should students transition to a school for only one year?

These are just a few of the hundreds of questions which need to be considered in the development of guiding principles for the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District’s long term facilities plan.

These principles will be used to evaluate the challenges, opportunities and long-range strategies for the plan.

The school district is asking its partner groups and interested members of the public to check out the proposed guiding principles on the district’s website and, if they wish, to add their thoughts and preferences for consideration by the Board of Education.

Secretary-treasurer Sterling Olson explains seven themes and strategies have been drafted, in no particular order, to provide a dis-

trict-wide framework. They are: • Educational programming • Reconciliation of student enrolments and school capacities • Facility renewal and facility reconfigurations • Grade configuration & multiple student transitions • Financial responsibility • District support facilities/transportation of students • Community relationships and partnerships Input on the guiding principles will be collected from now until February 2. These guidelines will then be considered by the board and used to develop the long-term facilities plan. From this, consultation on any potential significant reorganization or permanent school closure will take place between March 11 and May 12.

To read the report and add your input, please go to the district’s website under District News (located on the right hand side of the page). Either click on the link or send an email to bemiller@sd83. bc.ca. For a hardcopy version of the report please contact Executive Assistant to the Secretary-Treasurer Bethan Miller at (250) 804-7830.
