OCP review for Area ‘F’

COLDSTREAM, BC – The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) is proceeding with a review and update of the Electoral Area “F” Official Community Plan. This plan guides local government decisions regarding development, infrastructure, services and social and environmental issues for the communities of Grindrod, Grandview Bench, Mara, Ashton Creek, Kingfisher/ Mable Lake and Twin Lakes. The purpose of this review and up-date is to “check in” and develop a longterm vision for the community which reflects their current values and aspirations in regards to land use planning.

Community participation is a critical component of the planning process and the RDNO is hosting two public information meetings to seek input on current issues, values and future goals to be considered for the growth and development of their communities.

The public information meetings will be held: • February 11, 4:00–7:00 p.m. at

Grindrod Community Hall, 6920 Highway 97A, Grindrod, BC; and • February 12, 4:00–7:00 p.m. at the Riverside Community Hall3784 Trinity Valley Road, Enderby, BC “The public information meetings will provide a forum for people to review background information on the areas’ existing land use designations, population projections and community profile”, states Laura Frank, RDNO Sustainability Coordinator. She adds, “we encourage all community members who are interested in the future of their community to come and provide input on the challenges and opportunities for the growth and development of Electoral Area “F”-Grindrod, Grandview Bench, Mara, Ashton Creek, Kingfisher/ Mable Lake and Twin Lakes”. She notes that “if residents are not able to attend one of the meetings in person they are encouraged to provide their feedback by filling out an on-line survey www.rdno.ca, write a letter or give her at call the RDNO office.”

Well adjusted babies

Your choice for safe and effective natural health care.

Many expecting mothers coming into our office for regular chiropractic care through their pregnancy in order to maintain proper spinal and pelvic function and alignment. They are also coming in to to be regularly adjusted so that their nervous system is clear of stress; this ensures proper development of a healthy baby and can aide in easier, and shorter labour and delivery times.

During these wellness visits it is a given that these expecting parents are hungry for dependable resources of information on the various issues surrounding pregnancy, birthing, and raising a healthy child.

Many parents-to-be have either heard of, or have read the book; What to Expect When You’re Expecting. When asked for my opinion on this book as a pregnancy and birthing resource, I cringe. I suggest this book was most likely written by Stephen King rather than the three female authors listed on the cover. For those that have not read it, this so called “pregnancy bible” is very effective at inducing fear into any expecting couple. There are extensive lists of possible complications that by the time it is read, many young parents will be convinced that something during the birthing process is bound to go wrong....

I find information like this very troubling. Birthing educators have a duty to empower (not terrify) expecting parents. One of the best

ways to ensure a successful and problem-free delivery is through educating pregnant couples to trust in the body’s innate ability to successfully deliver a healthy baby.

Surrounding pregnancy and the birthing process with fear almost guarantees difficulties and complications.

So, for an alternative and far-superior resource, I recommend: Well Adjusted Babies written by Dr. Jennifer Barham-Floreani who is a mother, chiropractor, and best-selling author in Australia. Her book covers the majority of topics surrounding pregnancy from fertility, self-care during pregnancy, how to have a safe and natural birth, breast feeding, childhood development and the benefits of chiropractic care.

The huge difference between Well Adjusted Babies compared to What to Expect When You’re Expecting is this book is empowering parents rather than creating fear. It is written more from a holistic and vitalistic point of view and it also helps explain the many benefits of chiropractic care through the whole process. Well Adjusted Babies is a book I would encourage all future, expecting, and current parents to read.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor with a special interest in pregnancy and pediatrics who can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 8030224.

Find a technology balance

(Source: Helping Families Manage Media – Screen Smart - www.screensmart.ca) Getting information, communicating with others, and being entertained has never been so easy. With the click of a button we bring the world into our homes, schools, cars, and work place. The media’s influence on our lives today has never been so powerful, and raising children in a ‘digital age’ presents parents with both opportunity and challenges.

Too much ‘screen time’ is linked to childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes, attention problems, and sleeping problems.

One in four Canadian children are overweight.

Obesity puts children at risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease and hypertension. Obesity in children increases the more hours they watch TV, and odds of being overweight go up if a child has a TV in their bedroom.

New research suggests that early exposure to TV may ‘re-wire’ a child’s brain. The more TV young children watch, the greater their risk of attention problems as older children.

Research shows that TV viewing before bed, and background TV is linked to sleep problems in children.

Preschool children are at a critical stage in the development of language, creativity, and imagination.

Time watching a screen could be better spent reading, talking, and playing.

Learning to unplug & play

(Source: Addressing the Effects of Technology on Child Development by Cris Rowan – www.zonein. ca) Children need to learn how to play and parents need to teach them. Instead of trying to DO something to your children, try to BE something to them. Your children would rather have you play with them any day, than watch TV or video games.

The activities listed below will encourage family re-connection and prove to be fun for all. Your child will love you for taking the time to engage in activities with them: Ride bikes; build a couch or table fort; eat dinner as a family; be artistic – paint, colour, make crafts; dance; play wrestle; listen to music; play cards or a board game, or invent your own game; garden together; read a book; play a sport; cook a meal together; or do chores together.

Family life can be busy, and it may be hard to find time to spend with your children. After work, dinner needs cooking, and houses need cleaning.

Why not get your kids to help you with these chores? You will be surprised at how happy your child can be cutting vegetables while chatting with mom and dad. Families that play together, stay together!

FEEDBACK ON MY PLAN TO DIE AT 85 If you missed my column last week, go to www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca, click on Sidewalk Superintendent and go to the January 16 edition. All comments so far have been positive, but one person cancelled an e-mail subscription, possibly because it is God who decides when I will die. A man told me in a grocery store that some of his friends are getting ready to build me a box. Seven more years, folks!

SHE HAS A PLAN TO END HER LIFE IF NECESSARY C.B. is a 67-year-old woman at the coast who wrote “LOVED this column! I agree wholeheartedly! I have more and more health issues every day since I had breast cancer three years ago and had a double mastectomy.

That isn’t a concern any longer.... at the moment!

Consequently your column was very timely.”

She still takes flu shots and takes pills because she wants to stay healthy while she is still independent. If she starts losing her health, she will stop them, or at age 80, whichever comes first. If she starts showing signs of having dementia or Alzheimer’s, she has a plan in place to end her life, even if it means moving to Oregon.

She ends her letter with: “Thank you again Sally. Your columns are always so interesting and informative! I get more pertinent information and sources from your four columns each month than I do from a month of my daily newspapers! Ergo I look forward to reading your columns very much!”

MOTHER DIED WITH GRACE, THE SAME WAY SHE LIVED B.D. wrote: “Sally, bravo! This week’s writing of the Sidewalk Superintendent is insightful and presents a refreshing viewpoint. I would like to recount the aging and passing of both my mother and my mother-in-law.

My mother-in-law passed away recently at the age of 94, two weeks after suffering a stroke. The greatest part of her life for the past 10 years has been around her doctor.

Her daughter lives in Alberta and her son lives in B.C. It hurts to say, but she burdened her children with this ‘maintenance.’ She passed away in a hospital bed, a heartless process that took days.

“My mother passed away at the age of 75 from a massive coronary while she slept, in my home where she had been visiting us. She hadn’t been to a doctor in years and worked a wonderful, almost full-time job right up until her death. We know she had had some spells, and I believe she knew there was a problem. She had been widowed at the age of 55 and was fiercely independent.

She had a director’s hand in how she died. She died with grace, the same way she lived.

“I admire your courage, Sally, in presenting an alternate viewpoint.”

MOTHER WAS JEALOUS OF FATHER DYING SO QUICKLY A woman in a grocery store told me her father golfed one day at 88, then didn’t feel well so he was taken to the hospital and died four weeks later. Her mother wanted to live to be 100 so she could get a letter from the queen.

Then she would be ready, and prayed that she would die.

She had two more birthdays after that, with cake and candles. It put such a burden on her family, especially the many years she lived alone in her own home. She was

jealous that her husband died so young without all the health problems she had. Her prayers were answered at 102.

A WOMAN WRITES ABOUT GETTING OLD Taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it’s mandatory!

‘Cause if I don’t on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit! And so... now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did! I’m not sure how long it will last.

This I know, that when it’s over on this earth... it’s over.

A new adventure will begin! Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn’t done... things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I’m happy to have done. It’s all in a lifetime.

SMARTPHONE SEPARATION CREATES ANXIETY Being separated from your cell phone can lead to poor performance on tasks that require concentration. This was the finding from new research at the University of Missouri. Researchers had participants sit in a cubicle and complete a puzzle once with their phone in their possession and once without. They found that when participants were deprived of their phone they experienced elevated heart rate, blood pressure and anxiety. They also noticed they had a harder time completing the puzzle.

MONTESSORI SCHOOL MAY COME TO THE SHUSWAP A group of parents and staff is looking into establishing a Montessori school at Silver Creek Elementary and has asked the school board to consider the idea. It would be a public school, like Vernon’s, and have no fees.

Spokesperson Noah Ralston, who has a child at the school, told the board that the Montessori model would fit at the school, and could increase enrolment. He told trustees that Silver Creek parents, staff and community are on board with the idea and since they have been discussing it, other people have come forward and said they would bring their students to Silver Creek for the Montessori school.

Montessori education is an educational approach developed by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori and characterized by an emphasis on independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological, physical, and social development.

The Board of Education asked staff to report on the current status of Silver Creek Elementary, and asked for an assessment as to the viability of a Montessori School there.

Interested families are encouraged to contact Silver Creek Elementary to fill an “Intent for Registration” form to help the school and district determine the level of interest.

NEW ORGANIZATION: LADIES LEARNING CODE There are 18 chapters across Canada that offer beginner-friendly tech education for women and children.

Beginner-friendly HTML and CSS workshops expose girls to code as a creative tool to change the world. The workshops were created by Girls Learning Code in partnership with MasterCard. Because there is not a chapter in our area, an online workshop can be taken through www.girlslearningcode.com. Join a mailing list.

The website http://ladieslearningcode.com states: “Girls can complete this workshop at their own pace pausing and re-starting to complete exercises described in the videos. We’ll be using a free web-based tool, Thimble. Girls can create their own accounts to access their websites at a later date and easily share them with friends and family.”

TARGET CLOSING ALL 133 STORES IN CANADA When Zellers closed its Canadian stores, Target Corp., a large American retail chain, bought many of them and opened 133 Target stores less than two years ago. Since then, the Canadian stores suffered $2 billion US operating losses. It would take another six years to turn a profit, so it will liquidate all the stores and terminate 17,600 employees. As each store closes, each employee will continue receiving 16 weeks of pay.

Salmon Arm is fortunate that Canadian Tire moved into the former Zellers store in Piccadilly.

ELECTRONIC HAND DRYERS ARE TOO NOISY J.S. is annoyed by the electronic hand dryers (Xlerator) in washrooms now, saying that they are just way too noisy. She writes: “It would be interesting to see how many decibels they are when on. I can’t use them as they make my ears ring. That has to mean they are way too noisy. I end up using toilet paper to unsuccessfully dry my hands. Even when someone else is using the hand dryer it hurts my ears.”

VOTE ONLINE FOR $15 MINIMUM WAGE The current minimum wage in B.C. is $10.25 an hour, and $9 an hour for a liquor server. The B.C. Federation of Labour would like to see the general minimum wage in B.C. raised to $15 an hour. An online petition has been started, promoting the increase to $15. That would put people working 35 hours per week above the poverty line, so they can support themselves and their family.

Sign the petition at http://www.fightfor15bc.ca/sign_the_ petition.

In the United States, New York could be the leader in raising the wage. Governor Andrew Cuomo proposed raising New York’s minimum wage to $10.50 an hour, the highest among U.S. states, and boosting the baseline for hourly pay in New York City to $11.50.

RCMP HAVE THE RIGHT TO BARGAIN COLLECTIVELY Royal Canadian Mounted Police have been barred from forming a union since the 1960s when other federal public servants gained the right to collective bargaining.

On Jan.16, 2014, the Supreme Court announced that the RCMP union ban was unconstitutional. It violated their charter rights to freedom of association. The ruling said forming a union is one option. It has given the federal government a year to amend the law. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831

Urban farming

Food is the topic of conversation when Chris LeFloch and John McLeod get together for a coffee on a Sunday afternoon.

They’re both board members on the Shuswap Food Action Co-op and they are gearing up for some fundraising events in February.

Their mission statement is quite simple: “To empower each and every citizen of the Shuswap through education, advocacy and action to create a model community where everyone has access to healthy, affordable food in a successful local economy.”

John says when he uses the word ‘food’ he means good food that comes from the land right here in the Shuswap.

“I’ve never believed in the globalization concept. It’s good for large-scale industrial production, but by and large, it’s subsidized at the expense of small local producers. It’s killed the family farm.

If you want to find a family farm you have

to go to a museum.”

Chris has lived in Salmon Arm for two years but her interest in healthy home-grown food was always a part of her life going back even to her grandparents in St. Claude, Manitoba.

“I grew up in a family that was really into food. My parents come from farming backgrounds; my grandparents were dairy farmers. My mom’s parents operated the town’s only grocery store, which they also lived in.

Their entire

because they share the same vision.

“One of the goals is to help support and promote and encourage local food production and consumption,” she says.

Her particular role on the board is Director of Urban Sustainable Agriculture. She is particularly excited about the movie (Growing Cities) they’re showing in a couple of weeks. It is a fundraiser but it showcases urban farming in America.

“It’s basically what my grand- p a r e n t s did,” s h e says.

lot was a garden.”

Both Chris’ parents were into gardening and so was she, but as she moved around and was renting as a young adult, it was next to impossible.

“I didn’t have a place to garden and I found that frustrating. Then I became a planner and learned about agriculture and sustainability, and I’m just an allround foodie too.”

It didn’t take long for her to become involved with the Shuswap Food Action Co-op when she moved here,

John, who is president of the Co-op, also grew up in a farming environment.

“I was born and raised in Salmon Arm on a farm three miles west. We grew up with a mixed farm, we used to grow a lot of potatoes and slowly moved into dairy.”

He remembers the old Farmer’s Exchange and would like to see something like that again, a warehouse where local farmers can bring their prod-

friends&neighbours

by Leah Blain ucts for storage and for sale. But he envisions it becoming something much more integral to the community.

“We could have a kitchen facility and make meals for seniors’ places. We could have a local economy where food is grown, processed and consumed.”

“It doesn’t have to travel anywhere,” adds Chris, “if you think about it, it’s reducing the carbon footprint as well.”

John says eating local fruit and produce doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be cheaper.

“I can’t get my head around the fact that a grape from Chile costs less money than you can get it from down the road.”

These foreign products are cheap because of heavy subsidization, he explains, sometimes even at our expense: “The BC government made a deal with the American government about the Columbia River Basin that allowed for huge amounts of irrigation that we have the expense for; they get cheap water for irrigation and then they flood us with apples.”

The Shuswap Food Action Co-op has a few projects they’re working on (including a community garden for local groups) but their first course of action this year is fundraising.

The first is a movie,

‘Growing Cities: A Film About Urban Farming in America’, that tells inspiring stories of urban farmers, activists, and everyday city-dwellers who are challenging the way the country feeds itself.

From those growing in backyards to make ends meet to educators teaching kids to eat healthier, it shows that urban farming is much more than simply good food.

The movie will be shown on Saturday, February 7 at 1:00 p.m. at the Salmar Classic Theatre. Admission is by cash donation.

Their next fundraiser takes place on Saturday, February 14 at 12 noon at the Little Mountain Sports Field House. It’s a Valentine’s Day Cookie Walk.

“You show up and for $5 you get a little box. You walk through and pick the cookies you want and fill your box,” says Chris. “It’s a fun thing to do with kids or a friend.”

If anyone would like to donate cookies contact Chris at 250-8338208 or email shuswapactioncoop@ gmail.com There will also be a short community meeting with guest speakers talking on local food issues. People are welcome to listen or they can simply enjoy the cookie walk.

Decorator forks

It’s been a while since the Junior Bean Counter has come up with a new business venture. In the past, he has tried to sell his marbles and Lego. At one point, he wanted to buy chickens in order to sell the eggs. He even tried leasing old trophies of mine to his younger brother. Unfortunately, the last one actually worked until I got wind of it and made him return the $10.

Instead of preying on his brother, this time he decided to partner with him for his latest project.

So together they have come up with the idea of spicing up the summer picnic scene by taking white plastic forks, spoons and knives and colouring them with felts. They have some of their own unique designs, but will also allow you to custom order your picnic fork.

For example, they created a Denver Broncos fork and tried to sell it to me knowing this was my favourite football team. So nothing is out of the question – they can be as creative as they or you want.

So I came home the other day and they had laid out around ten different designs, and also had a cup with a piece of masking tape stuck to it with the message of $1.00.

“Are you selling these ten pieces of cutlery for a dollar?” I asked.

“No Dad! Each one costs a dollar. You’d have to give us 10 bucks for all of them!” my youngest replied.

“10 bucks! Wow, those are some high end forks and spoons,” I responded.

At around the same time, my wife walked into the kitchen, dropped a loonie into their cup and grabbed the fork of her choice.

“See, Dad? Mom bought one!” Junior Bean Counter exclaimed.

“That’s just great!” I thought to myself. Now I have to buy high-priced cutlery from my kids despite the fact I was pretty sure they hadn’t done any testing to verify whether it was okay to actually use the cutlery and digest all the ink from their cheap markers. Continued at right

Letters to the Editor Free the nipple

Nipples. We all have them. Either they are big, small, or not quite circular, you will find them on men and women alike.

So, what’s the big deal? What’s the difference between the nipples on a woman and the nipples on a man?

Nothing! The only difference is that we nourish children when the time comes. The tissue and the nipple itself is the same, except woman have extra fat.

Freeing the nipple is about equality. I want to be able to walk around topless if I wanted to, and not have someone slut shaming me because I am not covered. You see topless

woman all over media, and yet when someone you know is topless it becomes a massive thing. You can put a face to the body, and not have it be some topless female.

Think about our legs, or bare backs, or shoulders! Those are seen as “sexual” and we have to cover them, because a women’s body is so sexualized and objectified.

We can’t walk down the street without being harassed by men, and if we walk topless, we don’t want to have the sexual attention. We want to be able to walk down the street, completely topless, and have it be normal.

I want to see a world where woman are not viewed as sexual objects. Where we can walk around the street topless and not have someone shame us, or be able to breast feed without dirty looks.

If a male can, why can’t we?

Marlee Miege-Moffat, Tappen Editor’s note: For more info on this movement, check out www.free thenipple.com

I gave my wife the funny look signalling, “What are you doing?” to which she responded with a smile and the look of “Get a loonie, you cheapskate, and humour your children!”

So after a little deliberation I encouraged their artistic creativity by purchasing a fork. However, I don’t think I’ll be using it any time soon and I am not about to give them a business loan to start mass producing their product!

Business MATTERS Downtown Salmon Arm (DSA) and the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce (SACofC) are providing a quarterly update to share achievements and initiatives that we are working on for the benefit of our membership organizations and the community.

2015 is starting off with some exciting joint projects for our organizations.

The TransCanada Highway, from west, through downtown, and east of the city is a critical project which will have a significant impact on our community. We are dialoguing with MOTI and our City Council representatives on the absolute necessity for community involvement as proposed redevelopment is considered for Salmon Arm. This is a long term initiative that will continue to receive our attention throughout 2015 and beyond. Safety and reliability of the TCH is also of paramount importance.

We are meeting with representatives and staff from Roots & Blues as

they move forward with the 2015 festival. Working with festival organizers to identify opportunities and timeframes where festivalgoers can be transported to downtown, malls and signature attractions will be an integral part of the discussions. Joining the business community to the festival through this type of partnership and opportunity is our goal.

Recently, along with other community stakeholders, we met with Nettie Wild of Canada Wild Productions to explore a film project which showcases the annual salmon run at Adams River.

The production is being created as an art installation which would be projected onto the underside of the Cambie Street Bridge in downtown Vancouver.

Funding and other components are still being worked out. Intentions are for a summer 2016 premier, with 2017 as a fallback if funding takes longer to secure. A rush of the film can be seen by contacting either DSA or SACofC.

Upcoming Chamber Events:

(visit our website for details)

• Business Mixer – Jan. 29 • Presentation to Mayor & Council – Feb. 10 • Annual General Meeting – Mar. 24 • Business Excellence Awards – Sep. 25 DSA wants to keep you up to date with upcoming events. February brings Valentine’s Day, a chance to spoil your loved ones, both two and four-legged! Our unique shops and numerous dining options have something for everyone.

Springtime is just around the corner. We kick off with the AGM, April 22nd. If you’d like to be a part of the excitement, consider becoming a board director. May brings Bike Month, Salty Street Fest and the Spring Business Mixer. On-going programs include ‘The Heart of Salmon Arm’ Photo Contest and ‘Downtown Live’, where restaurants and café’s showcase live music.

DSA and SACofC are non-profit membership driven organizations

Thinking of enroling your child in French Immersion Kindergarten?

Concerned about the line-up? We need to hear from you now!

The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District is trying to gauge the number of families interested in registering their child(ren) for French Immersion Kindergarten at Bastion Elementary for September, 2015.

In a continued effort to avoid the need for the lengthy line-up, the district is asking parents to please call Bastion Principal Isabelle Gervais at (250) 832- 3741 prior to January 30, 2015 at 2:30 p.m. to indicate their interest and have any questions they may have answered.

A meeting for all of those interested in French Immersion Kindergarten will be held at Bastion Elementary on March 3 at 7 p.m. at which time it will be determined whether French Immersion registration can be held at the meeting, or whether a first-come, first-served registration will be required.

Thank you!

Salmon Arm Art Gallery is pleased to present “Game On,” the annual juried members’ exhibition on the theme of sports and recreation. Here in the Shuswap, artists are unlikely to be tucked away in studios studying the still life; rather, they can often be found engaging in active sports that include cycling, hiking, canoeing, hockey, soccer and skiing. For this exhibition, artists were asked to tell the story of their favourite activities.

All media are represented in the show that opens Friday, January 23 at 7:00 p.m. The reception features live music by Tom Brighouse, and a variety of refreshments. Admission is by donation, and the exhibition is generously sponsored

by Jeff Stacer. The exhibition runs January 24 to February 28, 2015. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Now in their 26th year, NimbleFingers provides a fun, friendly and non-competitive environment for everyone from beginners to advanced players, with ample opportunity for group learning, electives, organized jam sessions, and tons of other creative activities.

There are student concerts, band scrambles, instructor concerts, campground picking sessions, hosted jams and oldtime dances. The organizers hear from many regulars that the summer music workshop is what they look forward to the most each year. Two separate weeks of

workshops are offered, and many attendees stay for both. It’s a chance to connect with your musical community, learn something new and have a great time.

Once again NimbleFingers is presenting a world-class selection of instructors and performers.

Names like John Reischman, Chris Coole, Anne Louise Genest, Cahalen Morrison and Eli West, as well as the members of the bands Jeff Scroggins and Colorado, The Canotes, New Reeltime Travellers, The Lonesome Ace Stringband, and many more. Workshops in both bluegrass and old-time styles of banjo, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bass, lead and harmony singing, and ballad singing. This year they’ll even be offering a ‘flatfoot’ dancing class!

Register online starting January 28 at www.nimblefingers.ca. Vendor applications can be found here as well.

Mr. Turner

Acclaimed director and writer Mike Leigh, in his latest film, shares his portrait of Mr. J. M. W. Turner (Timothy Spall), arguably the greatest English painter and first master of the “modern” era. In an exploration of the last quarter century of his life (1775-1851), Turner travels and paints (even strapping himself to the mast of a ship so he may paint the perfect storm) all while being both celebrated and an outcast from his public, royalty, and the Royal Academy

of Arts. But being profoundly affected by personal loss, Turner’s bouts of depression make him even more eccentric and contradicting in his personal relationships through his exploitation of his housekeeper who loves him (Ruth Sheen) and his secret relationship with a widow (Marion Bailey) who he lived with secretly by the seaside until his death.

Mr. Turner shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 24th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Ol’ Fred had trapped, fished and hunted all his life. He loved the bush. He would offload his snow machine and travel the used and marked trails. When he came across moose tracks punched through on a trail, he’d slow down and watch. It wasn’t the first time he’d encountered a cranky cow watching him approach, only to lay her ears back and charge. More than once he’d had the cowling torn apart by a flailing hoof, while he exited up a tree!

Trappers like me had similar experiences.

Late January and into February, it seems, is moose-on-the-loose, mad moose month.

They’re out there trying to forage 20-30 pounds of food a day, in deep snow, to survive. Plus they’re fighting off, and being chased and/or hamstrung by wolves. Being stalked by a cougar isn’t much fun either, only then to have some humans on noisy idling snow machines gawkin’ at ya, is just too much!

Chester Sands, of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, in a book he recently published on his 35 years of guiding/trapping, tells of a cow moose caught in one of his wolf snares on a cold, snowy morning. He finally got the snare off her hoof, as he headed for a closeby tree, only to have her stand up, and then charge him. Round that big fir tree they went, until he eyeballed three others in a clump nearby. He made a dash into deep snow with her hot on his heels. He just made it, as she reared up and flailed her hooves at him.

It’s that time of the winter again, when our

big game animals come down to lower elevations in search of food to carry them through the winter. Moose, in particular, have been feeding on willow and birch along the upper shoulder slopes of the Trans Canada Highway east of the mill in Canoe, to Sicamous, Six to eight animals have been seen, so slow down and drive with caution.

No one wants to hit a 900-pound animal crossing the highway in the dark, at 90 kilometres an hour. Last Friday morning, loaded with household goods/cookware, and plywood, couches, etc, friends and I headed into Seymour Arm to their newly-purchased home. There were three moose right at Scotch Creek. Further along the 41 kilometres, two more were observed climbing the high snow banks off the ploughed road, as we often pulled over to let loaded logging trucks pass.

Last week, a moose was in collision with a sedan near the RCMP detachment, and one of the folks at our Fish and Game meeting mentioned that there were three moose around the Ranchero district at present. The club have a trained crew, under permit from the Ministry of Environment, and in conjunction with the Highways Ministry, to retrieve, quarter, and deliver to the butcher, any moose or deer hit on our highways. In past, the club have delivered over 540 lbs of packaged burger, to the Salvation Army food bank, to help out needy families. The crew consists of Julian Kuna, Earl Bloom, and me.

If you see an animal in distress, or just hit, call 250-832-1914 or 250-832-4490.

As of April 19, 2012 there were 783 serious moose-vehicle collisions in Newfoundland. Now, with new apps available, along with Twitter and Facebook, drivers in both Labrador and Newfoundland can now report moose sightings along provincial highways. Moose Watch NL is a real-time, location-based app, that lets Twitter users “tweet” moose sightings from their smart phones, and other mobile devices, and plot the animals locations on a map. So far, over 1000 folks have downloaded the free app. For more info, go to Downhomelife.com and click “September Hot Links.”

In New Brunswick, with 300 collisions and 200 deaths (and thousands injured), in moose/vehicle collisions, to November 2014, the province is now being taken to court by those parties, saying for the past eight years, those in the ministry of highways knew there were issues, and did little to prevent the collisions, such as having inadequate fencing, and few warning signs. Here in BC, on average, 19,500 coyotes, cougars, deer, elk, sheep, goat, moose, and bears, are struck by vehicles each year. Many are injured, and drag themselves off into the bush to die a lingering death. On Highway 97B, please slow down from Countryside Mobile home Park to Black Road, as moose cross the highway near the golf course there.

Fishing report: Gardom Lake – Some nice trout coming in, but it can be slow. Best beds are shrimp/green/orange power bait/mealies.

White Lake – thin ice, and no angling yet.

Phillips Lake – patience required, but can get some big trout. Try small jigs, wet weighted flies, or shrimp. No report for Falkland lakes.

Check with Westside Stores for updated information on activities, bait, and what to use, along with where to go fishin’!

Last week a lady called into CJIB radio in Vernon, telling the announcer there were 12 deer walking down the road past her house, close to 30th Avenue. What to do with growing populations of animals is becoming a problem in many communities, with culling an unpopular option. But, Fish and Game Club member Cliff Price says that when he was in Oregon last month visiting family, their fish and game branch was transporting mountain sheep from one mountain to another by helicopter.

The newspaper clip shows six sheep, one below the other, on a long line being flown to their new home. Cliff’s got a big heart.

SPORTS & LEISURE Ski conditions good, spirits high for Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet

Submitted by Pat Danforth Skiers and the Heart and Stroke Foundation were all winners, as the 31st annual Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet raised spirits and over $5000 to create a 31-year total of $390,000 in support of heart health.

Saturday, January 17 saw keen racers, “fun” skiers, young, older, male, female, local and visiting skiers chattering and laughing with loppet exuberance. Our local weather gods again blessed the Larch Hills with adequately cold temperatures and fresh snow which the LHNS track setters skillfully groomed to perfect tracks.

411 skiers, including 200 youth and racers from B.C., Alberta, Washington, New Zealand and Australia came to

challenge themselves on courses that ranged from 1 to 34 km. At this multi-generational event, there was a remarkable 78-year span between the youngest skier, 2 ½ year old Kai Cadden and the eldest, 80-years-young Gullan Hansen (pictured at right) who has energetically skied every race throughout the loppet’s 31 year history.

The event was supported by over 250 volunteers and 40 local sponsors providing race organization, food and drinks, photography, safety and encouragement. The post-loppet celebrations enjoyed by participants included a delicious BBQ beef and hot soup lunch on the hill, followed by a SASCU Recreation Centre swim, appy hour, award ceremony, and a family dance.

The winners of the 34 km race were: Overall Female:1st Pat Pearce, at 2:07:09; 2nd Sheila Corbett, at 2:18:29; and 3rd Sarah Purslow; at 2:20:34.

Overall Male: 1st Thomas Hardy, at 1:45:56; 2nd John Connor, at 1:48:13; and 3rd Camille Cheskey, at 1:50:41.

The winners of the 17 km junior racers were: Junior Female: 1st Glynnis Sim, at 1:05:10; 2nd Jessica Brown, at 1:18:11; and 3rd Annah Bucher, at 1:27:40.

Atom Samurais split weekend games in Vernon

By Peter Kociuba The Atom Rec Leko Precast Samurais played a pair of games in Vernon last weekend, losing on Saturday, but coming out victorious on Sunday.

Joel DeHoog opened the scoring for Salmon Arm, blasting a hard wrist shot past the Vernon goaltender. Trent Thiessen scored next for the Samurais, slipping the puck through the 5-hole on a rebound. Natasha Kociuba scored the next two for Salmon Arm, each time taking the puck hard down the wing before ripping a shot from the faceoff dot. Joseph Jones would tally next for the Samurais and DeHoog would bookend, getting the final goal for the good guys, who ended the morning on the short end of a 9-6 hard-fought contest.

Sunday proved more successful for the Samurai’s, as they came out on top of a different Vernon team. Abraxas Sharp opened the scoring for Salmon Arm, slipping a rebound 5-hole on the opposition netminder. Time seemed to replay a few moments later as he scored his second on virtually the same play, tucking in a rebound.

Joseph Jones’ tenacity resulted in the third goal

The all new

for the Samurai’s, as the puck was frozen at the corner of the goal but he kept hammering at it until it crossed the line. He would set up the next goal as well, blasting a shot off the goalie’s pads with Brandon Harvey charging in hard behind him to tuck in the rebound. Trent Thiessen would walk out of the corner for the next score, tucking his own rebound backhand 5-hole.

Gabriel Niewenhuizen stole the puck at the blue line and went in on a breakaway for the sixth goal for the Samurais, snapping the puck past the Vernon goalie from the slot. Joel DeHoog would then score a beauty for Salmon Arm, flipping it over the goaltender, post and in. Sharp would get his hat trick a few moments later as he too stole the puck from the Vernon defender and walked in on a breakaway. DeHoog would get the final tally for Salmon Arm, his howitzer from the point rebounding off the back boards, deflecting back out front for him to deposit in the back of the net. The Samurais would take this one by a final score of 9-3.

The two Atom rec Salmon Arm teams clash at the Shaw Centre this Friday.

Meditations Read: Matthew 18:21-35

Forgiveness Brings Hope If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 1:9

P

eople live with a lot of bitterness today. Many go around for years carrying grudges and hatred toward others. Every time they think of a certain person or incident, bitter feelings come. Maybe this is your experience.

Have you ever considered how enslaved a bitter person is? He is a slave to his grudge because he cannot get free from it. Life is wearisome because he wastes his energy in hating his parents, the system, the law, the police, and finally hating God. Hatred comes from within our hearts. So the problem is in us. We have messed up our own lives, and the only way out is by confession and forgiveness. We need to face our sin, acknowledge our wrongdoing, make things right, and begin a new life in Christ.

Ephesians 2:12 speaks of those who were "strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world."

How is it that we are willing to live without hope? It is the single reason why many see no alternative to suicide. They have no hope.

Romans 8:24 says that we are saved by hope. Hope in what — higher pay or better circumstances? No. It is the hope we have through Jesus’ forgiveness. We cannot change the past, but in Christ the future can be joyous and hopeful. Every wrong thing we have ever done can be erased, forgotten, and cancelled. Then knowing the joy of being forgiven, we will gladly forgive others.

The Gospel includes the promise of complete pardon for the sinner.

It rolls away the burden from his back, and enables him to take heart in God’s grace. This pardon sets us free from the dungeon of dreary fate to enjoy the glad sunshine of a new life.

James Baer - Salmon Arm, BC Come to Jesus just as you are, and find the forgiveness that brings hope.

Online condolences may be sent through Keith’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

December 7, 1926 – January 12, 2015 Audrey passed away January 12, with family by her side.

She was predeceased by her father, Stanley Irwin and mother Olga Irwin and sonin-law Narve D. Roen and great grandson Lincoln Narve Roen.

She is survived by her loving husband Daniel; daughter, Shaun Roen and her husband Greg Parsons; son Glenn Jones and his wife Nada as well as seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. All of who she loved dearly. She also has several relatives in Manitoba. Also two brothers-in-law, Alec McPherson and wife Barbara; Robert McPherson and wife Barbara; three nieces and a nephew as well as many close friends.

Audrey held many secretarial positions in newspapers, hardware, manufacturing, business and banking before retiring in 1985.

Born and raised in Winnipeg she moved to Edmonton in 1970 then to Calgary in 1973 where she married Daniel McPherson on June 26, 1976. They moved to Victoria in 1993 and the Shuswap in 1997.

Audrey enjoyed reading, watching old movies, playing crib to win and really enjoyed travelling to far off places but was most enthusiastic about travelling and camping with great friends and her motor home.

Her volunteer work included the 1988 Olympics in Calgary, which she enjoyed immensely.

The family thanks so very much, Dr. Kevin Goldberg, who did all possible during Audrey’s challenging and ever changing medical difficulties with complications; also many thanks to all the staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital who had contact with Audrey and the staff at Bastion Place. Finally, much praise for the very special, attentive staff at Good Samaritan “Hillside Village” that was all very professional and compassionate.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Audrey’s name may be made to the Good Samaritan, Hillside Village, 2891 15th Ave. NE, Salmon Arm, V1E 2B6. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 24, 2015 from Fischer’s Funeral Services with Pastor Myron Crown officiating. A reception will follow.

Funeral arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd. 250-833-1129. Email condolences and shared memories through Audrey’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

Beverly Corrine Douglas It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Beverly Douglas, wife of James Andrew Douglas. She died on January 14, 2015 after enduring an ongoing battle against cancer.

Beverly was full of life and dearly loved her family, greatly enjoying her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Beverly loved being outdoors and was a careful observer of nature, noting the smallest changes in the outdoor environment.

Bev was an avid reader, often reading a book a day and sharing her love of literacy with various school reading programs. Beverly enjoyed her working career, taking pride in supporting others and making the small improvements that made positive change for her coworkers. She demonstrated the same kindnesses and care with everyone she met.

She will be sadly missed by her family, her husband Jim, her children, Jim and his family, Lorna, Derrick, Jaimie, Kevin, Sarah and Travis (deceased); Deborah and her family, Kim and Joshua; Norman and his family, Kyle, Jesse and Mandy; and Steven and his family, Joanna, Kirsten and Laird.

Pearl (Becher) Sumner July 23, 1928 December 27, 2014

In loving memory we announce the passing of Pearl Sumner at St John Hospice, UBC. Pearl was relocated to Vancouver in June to better meet the challenges of cancer which she faced with the remarkable courage, grace and optimism that characterized her life. Born in Kindersley Saskatchewan as the eldest of 6 she is pre-deceased by brother Jim Hayden, sister Sylvia Hayden, and survived by sisters Shirley White, Marlene Clarke, and Ellen Cashen. Pearl was predeceased by her first husband of 46 years, Kurt Becher and will be dearly missed by her husband of 21 years, Walter Sumner of Salmon Arm, and her two step daughters Elaine Shigatomi and Emily Nelson, three step grandchildren and 3 great step grandchildren. She was very proud of her 17 beloved grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren by her nine adoring children: Alice Thorner, Tom Becher, Lynda Kazanowski, Randy Becher, Robert Becher, Mary Ann Becher, Nancy Theissen, Harley Becher, and Shannon Ekkel. Pearl’s warm smile and twinkling eyes will be fondly remembered by her extended family and many friends throughout the Columbia and Okanagan Valleys where she resided over the last 70 years. While a dedicated mother devoted to the tumult of her large family, she touched many throughout British Columbia with her serene and caring heart, her enthusiasm and love for the beauty in life, and her relentless spirit to make the best of it. She was a classy lady. Condolences may be sent to: x10u8ing@shaw.ca. A Celebration of Life will be scheduled for a later date.

ARTHUR OSCAR MARCOUX July 06, 1928 – January 12, 2015 Art passed away peacefully on January 12, 2015 in Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home in Kamloops with family at his side. He was 86 years old.

Art was born in Mission, BC. He moved to the Chase area where he and his brother had a logging operation, which he and his son Steve continued for many years.

They were in the logging and trucking industry.

Art loved his camping trips, whether it was across Canada or just a few days. He also enjoyed fishing as well as barbecues on the deck and Happy Hour with good friends.
