Lady Striders offer fitness and friendship

It was the morning of December 25, 2007. It was Shirley and Chuck Buckler’s first Christmas here as residents. They had moved from Vancouver just a few months previously because they wanted to ‘get out of the city’ and to be closer to their grandchildren.

“My daughter had taken an advertisement out of the paper and put it in my stocking. I thought it was a fabulous idea.”

The advertisement was for Shuswap Lady Striders.

“I love outings–biking and hiking, and my husband doesn’t like to do any of that and I’m not good at doing things on my own.”

Shirley (pictured in green shirt) made a phone call and was told she was very welcome to join. All she remembers of the first day is that she was “so busy chatting with everyone.”

From that day on the Lady Striders has been an important part of her life.

Anne Champion (in white shirt) and her husband, Don, moved to Salmon Arm 15 years ago from Kamloops, but the Shuswap was quite familiar. Anne already knew people in the skiing and the arts circles as well as Rotarians, because her husband is in Rotary.

“Three-quarters of my recreational life was spent in the Shuswap and Vernon.

I have family here; there’s a family cabin on Eagle Bay. I would come here for cross-country skiing and swimming in the lake.”

Anne heard about the Lady

friends&neighbours

by Leah Blain

Striders and decided to sign up: “The reason I joined was to find new trails in the Shuswap and to meet new friends. I met Shirley and all hell broke loose,” she says, laughing.

Growing up in a small town in southern Alberta, there weren’t a lot of organized sports or hiking trails, but Shirley enjoyed skating in the winter and was active in school sports.

“My main one was basketball; I was a forward. After I had a family I needed to get more active and I tried to get back into basketball and I decided I was too old.”

“How old was that?” asks Anne.

“30,” Shirley answers.

Anne comes from a family that was active.

“We were always doing outdoors stuff. I went downhill skiing for the first time when I was five. I went on my first backpacking trip when I was 12. We went for a week, my dad, a girlfriend and her dad. We went out into the mountains in Vernon, to Peter’s Lake.”

Back in those days, she explains, you were allowed to cut tree boughs and that’s what they slept on. From those early years of outdoor trekking Anne has had a love of the outdoors. With the Lady Striders Anne is able to continually explore parts of the Shuswap she has never seen.

“I thought I had done all the trails, but the first hike blew me away,” she says. And being around the group is always a positive experience.

“There’s no complaining; it’s very social.”

“There’s no gossiping or backbiting. We don’t whine and complain,” Shirley adds. “Everyone is smiling and it’s positive conversa-

tion.”

What they both like is that there are a lot of activities (walking, jogging, cycling, snowshoeing, and downhill and cross-country skiing) but no pressure to do any of them. “It’s a come and go as you please,” says Anne, “it’s very flexible.”

“I just love it,” says Shirley, “I like the ease of it. You can just show up without having to organize friends to go with you.

Sometimes six people show up and sometimes 40.” [Altogether there are over 250 members].

Ladies of any age can join, they explain, but a majority of the ladies

are retired. There are several activities during the week. Twice a week there are one-hour walks around town (Wednesday Midday Walks and Thursday Early Bird Walkers). Other activities are seasonal. The activities often have two levels of difficulty to accommodate those who want to go a shorter distance or slower pace, and some training programs are provided. On Fridays ladies can bring their dogs along. They often have coffee following their walks and there are, of course, socials throughout the year.

While the Lady Striders are a big part of their lives, they do keep busy with other activities as well.

Shirley enjoys golfing, playing bridge (four times a week), scrabble online (a lot), and reading historical fiction. Anne loves skiing at Larch Hills, doing crosswords, playing sudoku, making greeting cards, doing cross stitch, and she volunteers for the Telus Ambassador Program as well as for Lady Striders.

But without the Lady Striders, their social lives and their fitness levels just wouldn’t be the same.

“It’s very social, plus it gets me out doing things I love to do,” says Anne. “The motto is fitness and friendship and that covers a lot of stuff.”

To find out more about the group, visit their website at www. shuswapladystriders.ca.

Membership is $10 per year.

Comprehensive Shuswap ethnology now available

The most authoritative treatise ever written about the Shuswap people is now available, thanks in part to the Shuswap Watershed Project. Famed ethnologist James Teit’s book, The Shuswap, was originally published in 1909 as Part VII of The Jesup North Pacific Expedition, edited by Franz Boas and published as a Memoir of the American Museum of Natural History. Teit’s

work has served as an essential reference for every book written about the Shuswap peoples since, and yet the only copies of the book available for public use were in the Kamloops Library reference section and the Secwepemc Museum.

Another of Teit’s works on the Thompson Indians, which was Volume One of the Jesup Expedition series, was re-published as a paperback

Scan of one of Teit’s drawings from Volume One of a pit house (Kekuli) - The Thompson Indians - it also typifies the Shuswap Indians’ pit house. Contributed.

by the Nicola Valley Museum Archive Association in 1997.

“Ever since I managed to get a photocopy of The Shuswap in the late 1980s for research, I have wanted to see this page book become more assessable for students, researchers and the public,” explains Jim Cooperman, Shuswap Watershed Project coordinator and local historian. “We were in the process of making this important book available online as a PDF file when I learned that the American Museum recently uploaded it, and now we have also made it available at shuswapwatershed.ca.” In addition, a printed copy has also been gifted to the Salmon Arm branch of Okanagan Regional Library.

As well, there will be a link soon at salmonarmmuseum.org and R. J. Haney House Heritage Village and Museum Curator Deborah Chapman says, “I was thrilled to learn about this digital copy of a very fragile resource we have in our archives at the

Salmon Arm Museum.

Teit’s study is now easily accessed from any computer connected to the web! Finally, everyone has the opportunity to learn about the indigenous people of the Shuswap from a much respected and valuable primary source.”

The 346-page book consists of 15 chapters that cover nearly all aspects of their lives, including social structure, clothing, subsistence, warfare and religion. The last two chapters provide 107 myths, the ancient oral legends that were passed down from generation to generation and contain many of the teachings that both guided and entertained families through the ages.

In the preface to the book, Teit explains how the description of the Shuswap was the result of studies he made at the request of Dr. Franz Boas during exploration trips made from 1887 until 1904.

He collected the bulk of his information from several elderly men in the vicinity of Canoe Creek and Dog Creek in the Chilcotin country and especially from

a very intelligent elder called Sixwi’lexken, who was born near Big Bar. Since his book is based on interviews with elders who lived to the north and west of the Shuswap, one should be aware that the information provided may not fully typify the ancient lifestyles of the local Lakes Division of the Shuswap Nation.

“I hope that one day funding can be found to re-publish Teit’s Shuswap ethnology as a soft-cover book so that it can be made even more accessible to students and the public,” adds C o o p e r m a n .

“Hopefully, making the book available online will help raise awareness of the importance of this key resource.”

Build-a-Metre back for 10th anniversary

Communities around the Shuswap are continuing to rise to the challenge of redesigning how to think about moving through the landscape. And the Shuswap Trail Alliance board continues to find new ways to support those efforts. This year, in celebration of the STA’s 10th Anniversary, the Build-a-Metre-of-Trail campaign is back to raise $50,000 in support of regional greenway trail projects. At an average of $15–$20/metre that equals over 2,500 metres of new trails for walking, cycling, equestrian, and winter nordic use.

The Build-a-Metre-of-Trail campaign kicks off this Friday at the annual Shuswap Trail Party and Fundraiser and will run right through the year with a variety of invitations to participate. “We’re building on the circle of partners now committed to creating serious greenway solutions for walking, cycling, and other forms of healthy active travel throughout the region,” says Shuswap Trail Alliance board chairperson Winston Pain. Every dollar raised goes toward building new trails and taking care of existing ones. They help to leverage partnership funding, hire seasonal trail crews, and support volunteers.

In 2014, regional partners worked with the Shuswap Trail Alliance to leverage over $100,000 in in-kind support for new and upgraded trails, trail signs, maintenance, and planning for new projects. Trails and communities in every part of the region benefited. “In 2015 we would like to increase our volunteer trail stewardship support,” says Winston. “Every trail and pathway requires a little care to last a very long time. Volunteers are at the heart of all the trail care that happens.”

Winston also points to several of the new projects that need planning and support to move forward, including the need for improved walking and cycling connectors in many of our communities. “We were honoured to work with the Splatsin and Enderby leadership this past year, along with support from Interior Health to complete an Active Transportation Strategy for those communities,” says Winston. “We now have a template to create strategic walking and cycling plans for every community in the Shuswap, but funding is needed to support this.”

The Shuswap Trails 2015 Work Plan includes completion of the latest phase of the Regional Trail Strategy with Secwepemc, regional, and provincial leadership, 14 kilometres of new walking, cycling, equestrian, and Nordic trails to design and build, over 140,000 meters of seasonal maintenance, 100 new trail signs to install, additional trailhead stiles to protect sensitive habitat, more projects with the Invasive Species Society, and further work in partnership with Shuswap Tourism to make sure people know the trails are there. And of course, there are legacy projects like the Sicamous to Armstrong Rail Trail.

To support the work of the Shuswap Trail Alliance and regional partners, visit www. shuswaptrails.com and follow the Build-a-Metre links on the home page. All contributions are charitable and tax deductible. People are also invited to get the full report at this year’s upcoming Shuswap Trail Alliance AGM and Slide Presentation, on March 4th, 7:00 p.m., at Okanagan College, Salmon Arm.

Niacin (B3)

Vitamin B3 comes in two principle forms; niacin (nicotinic acid), and niacinamide (nicotinamide), created when an amide molecule attaches itself to niacin. Much confusion is caused by the use of the term niacin for both nicotinic acid and nicotinamide, and when taken in low doses for nutritional purpose, they are essentially identical. However, each has its own particular effects when taken in high doses. Another major difference is that niacin, in doses exceeding 50 mg, typically produces more flushing of the skin compared to niacinamide.

A high dose of nicotinic acid and not niacinamide is used for lowering cholesterol and triglycerides and appears to help protect against atherosclerosis. Some cholesterol-lowering medication lower levels of (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides only; whereas niacin lowers bad cholesterol and also raises levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Nicotonic acid is also used in treating other conditions such as schizophrenia, diabetes, hypertension, sexual dysfunction or migraine headaches; however, these uses are not scientifically proven.

Vitamin B3 increases the numbers and efficacy of neutrophils, white blood cells that can kill and eat harmful bugs. Studies have found that nicotinamide boosts the ability of immune cells to kill staphylococcus bacteria – the potentially fatal superbug MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus). MRSA infections are found in hospitals and nursing homes, but are also on the rise in gym locker rooms, prisons etc. The scientists behind the research on B3 and superbug feel that more research is needed.

Posture and health

It is not hard for people to understand that posture has a positive and negative impact on our health and well-being. A simple way to demonstrate this is to observe the different ways people hold their body in relation to what they are thinking or experiencing. The body position of a person who has just won an award or achieved a significant goal is completely different to that of a person who is depressed or sad. In fact, posture has a large impact on countless aspects of our health.

One of my favourite papers investigating the connection between good posture and overall health was published in 2013 by researchers in Japan who assessed and followed the posture of over 800 people for 4.5 years. At the start of the study all of the 804 participants aged 65-94 were living independently. By the end of the 4.5 years, 126 people in the group had become dependent for activities of daily living (meaning they were admitted into a nursing home or required assistance to perform basic self-care functions).

The researchers measured the posture of all of the 804 individuals

over the 4.5 years and found that an inclination of the upper body in relation to the pelvis (a forward stooping posture) directly related to the chances of becoming dependent on care for activities of daily living.

In other words, maintaining as close to an upright, ideal posture over the pelvis is essential for elderly people wanting to live independently later in life.

In our office we have a fully digital x-ray system that allows us to accurately assess every patient’s posture and spinal alignment. Once we determine this, we then create a specific care plan designed to maintain and correct any postural problems. One of the main tenets of chiropractic philosophy is that structure greatly affects function.

Maintaining our posture as close to the ideal as possible ensures the nervous system and the body can function at optimal health.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor with a special interest in postural correction and spinal alignment and can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

HEALTH & BEAUTY IHA named a top employer for third year

For the third year in a row, Interior Health has been named one of BC’s Top Employers, a designation recognizing employers in B.C. that provide exceptional workplaces.

“Our congratulations to Interior Health as it takes this award for the third year running,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “This is an employer that has committed itself to developing a healthy, engaged workforce and it shows. Interior Health has a low turn-over rate and a large number of long-term employees.”

The competition considers various criteria, such as recruitment and retention, high employment standards, physical workplace, work and social atmosphere, benefits, time off, employee communications, performance management, training and skills development, and community involvement.

“As an organization whose business is all about care, we recognize that every person matters,” said Interior Health Board Chair Erwin Malzer. “Interior Health has a culture of achievement, collaboration and innovation, in a region that offers beautiful landscapes and a great lifestyle. It also offers benefits that are among the best in the country.”

The organization has placed a strong emphasis on employee engagement at every level. Since 2011, Interior Health

has conducted a survey of its employees every two years to gauge their thoughts and feelings about their workplace. This feedback is built into team action plans to further increase employee engagement.

“Reflecting on the past 27 years, I’m proud to have been able to work with such caring individuals. It is the quality of people working within Interior Health that is at the root of my level of engagement,” said Karla Warkotsch, a Community Integrated Health Services Integration Lead who works in Penticton.

“I believe we have a common vision of patient-centred care, and that continues to drive Interior Health towards excellence.”

Not only is Interior Health one of the best employers in B.C., it is also one of the largest employers, with approximately19,000 employees and 1,500 physicians throughout the region.

Other quick facts: • Size of Interior Health region: about 215,000 km • Number of job applications received last year: 41,776 • Average age of employees: 44.9 years • Longest serving employee: 42.5 years • Voluntary turn-over rate (employees

choosing to leave) last year: 1.7% For more information about why Interior Health was chosen over hundreds of other organizations, and to view the full list of BC’s Top Employers, visit the Top Employers website at www.canadastop100.com/bc.

HISTORY OF FOUR-LANING AT MALAKWA There seem to be inaccuracies in local newspapers about the reasons why the Trans-Canada was four-laned at Malakwa, so I contacted the person who knew the truth: Edith Rizzi, who worked in the MLA’s office for oh, a hundred years.

Highway engineers on staff at the time designed a fourlane highway and hounded Alex Fraser, Minister of Highways, for a place to have a trial run because they didn’t have enough to do with impending EXPO 86 and a need to keep the highways open for the influx of visitors. When the Hope-to-Merritt first phase of the Coquihalla was completed, crews moved east to what we called the Malakwa Connector. It was flat and required no blasting of mountains or building of bridges.

Cliff Michael inherited the project when he became our MLA and Minister of Highways and was there for the four-lane’s completion in 1987. The construction did not disrupt the Trans-Canada and no flaggers were required during the hot summer of Expo 86.

ENCHANTED FOREST IS FOR SALE Nearly 85,000 visitors make their way to the Enchanted Forest every year and the attraction between Sicamous and Revelstoke is on the market for a cool $2.7 million.

The property’s realtor received over 50 replies in just a few days.

In 2011, the Enchanted Forest celebrated its 50th anniversary. It was started by Doris and Ernest Needham as a lifelong dream and retirement project. A nephew and his wife, Rocky and Juliet Ehlers, have owned it for 25 years and are looking to retire. To the storybook animals in the 38-acre forest they added zip lines, climbing walls and suspension bridges.

FARMERS’ MARKET OPEN TWO DAYS NOW For the winter, Shuswap Craft & Farmers’ Market moves from Centenoka’s parking lot to inside the mall between Nutters and Westside Stores. Now it has increased its days to Friday AND Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

WHAT DOES A GRANDMOTHER DO ON FAMILY DAY? Monday, Feb. 9 is a statutory holiday in BC. When Christy Clark became premier of British Columbia, she instituted the paid holiday between New Year’s Day and Easter. Businesses had been opposed to a new stat, because they paid enough statutory holiday pay to their employees. But Christy listened to parents, she being a single one, and to employees who wanted a break during the long stretch without one. Now let’s see, what does a grandmother do on Family Day when all my family lives in Victoria? Mow the lawn? The snow should be gone by next Monday according to Government of Canada’s weather prediction website.

DON’T BLAME BURGER KING FOR TIM’S STAFF CUTS Office staff and management of Tim Hortons have been cut since the company was merged with Burger King. But don’t blame BK for the cuts. According to Wikipedia, owners of the two fast-food chains are conglomerates. 3G Capital of Brazil acquired a majority stake in Burger King in 2010 and made many changes to reverse its fortunes. In 2014, 3G and partners Berkshire Hathaway merged the BK chain with Canadian-based donut chain Tim Hortons.

IT’S TIME FOR RRROLL UP THE RIM TO WIN On Monday I was given a paper cup at Timmies when I took my travel mug for a mocha. I was surprised! Did I miss the advertising about the promotion? Maybe new owners are reducing the spending this year, and may stop the promotion next year.

Each paper cup has two places to roll up the rim. Prizes are free coffee, food, VISA prepaid cards, Tim cards, and 50 Toyota Camrys. You can also play an online game at www.rolluptherimtowin.com. First you need to register your name, email address and password. No thanks. I’ll be happy with a free cookie.

ONLINE AUDITIONS TO PITCH TO THE DRAGONS Producers of CBC’s Dragons Den are holding auditions in major cities throughout Canada, looking for business ideas that need investment money and a partner. This year it is not necessary to audition in person to appear on a show in front of five millionaires who may become partners.

Search the internet for Dragons Den Auditions. If you plan to audition in person, fill an online application first.

Auditioning in person is helpful, but not necessary to get on the show. The sooner you apply, the better chance you have of being on the show to pitch your business to the Dragons. Auditions in person will be held in Vancouver on Feb. 14, Surrey Feb. 18 and Kelowna March 4.

JOIN ME FOR A GOURMET DINNER ON SUNDAY I was overwhelmed at a three-course gourmet dinner for $25 at Table 24 in the Podollan Inn and I want to go again. Will you join me on Sunday, Feb. 8 at 5:30? The annual Thompson Okanagan Wine and Dine promotion ends on Feb. 11. Over 50 restaurants are participating, and Table 24 is the only one in Salmon Arm. All are listed at www.okwineanddine.ca, and each of the 50 has its menu.

One of the 10 sponsors is the company that pays me to write this drivel every week: Black Press. I’m usually a panini person if I want to dine out, but this is special. The menu at Table 24 has three courses, with two choices for each. There’s also a little surprise at the beginning and end of the meal. A glass of wine ranges from $5 to $9.

Table 24 has a table for six in the centre. Call me at 250832-4831 before noon on Sunday if you would like to join me at that table. Of course you can sit at one of the many other tables without calling me. To reserve a table, call 250-832-5024.

“ONE THOUSAND FOODS TO EAT BEFORE YOU DIE” It’s the title of a new book that was released in mid-January. A search on the internet found this: “In the same way that 1,000 Places to See Before You Die reinvented the travel book, 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die is a joyous, informative, dazzling, mouthwatering life list of the world’s best food.” Mimi Sheraton put together an incredible 914 pages of tastes of a lifetime. It sells for $32.95. The pages are very thin, like those in a Bible. The index at the back lists all 1,000 foods. It is not a cookbook. The author has the traditional standards: the French, Chinese, Italians, Germans, North Americans, but she also touches on the Senegalese, Lebanese, Mongolian and Peruvian. She covers the world. Lloyd at Bookingham Palace Books in Piccadilly has one book on order, and can bring one in for you.

HOCKEY DAY FILLS SHAW CENTRE ON SATURDAY There was hardly an empty blue seat visible at last Saturday’s game when Vernon Vipers were in Salmon Arm. The previous night, Silverbacks travelled to Vernon and beat the Vipers 3-0. On Saturday there was standing room only with 1,960 people at the game. There was a lot of cheering for our players, especially when our team beat Vernon Vipers 1-0.

At the second season of the Silverbacks, one game against Vernon had an audience of 2,200. It was the largest single event to date, according to the 2003/04 “gameface,” the official publication of the Salmon Arm Silverbacks at the time.

SILVERBACKS HAVE SUPER EARLY-BIRD PRICES Season tickets to Silverbacks’ home games are cheap if you buy them in February. Prices go up in March. The website lists 11 benefits of having season tickets. I have a 12th benefit: I never have to stand in line to buy a ticket.

These are February prices: Adult $249. Senior (61+) $229. Kids (6-18) $99. 5-and-under free. Call Silverback’s office to buy your season tickets with a charge card: 250832-3856 Ext 108.

CHURCHES OF SALMON ARM THRIFT SHOP Fifty years of history of the Churches Thrift Shop has been put into a book by Howard Vangool. It contains the history, plus many newspaper clippings and staff pictures. It also has notes from grateful customers, some favourite recipes, and lists of volunteers according to their years of service. The book sells for $19 and is available at every cash register in the store.

In 1963, once a week, volunteers from the Anglican, United, Baptist, Evangelical Free and Pentecostal churches began handing out donated clothing from the basement of the United Church. In 1964 it opened in the basement of the Montebello Hotel, where CIBC now stands. They called themselves Churches Thrift Shop and began charging modest prices for clothes they handed out. After the Montebello burned in the late 1960s the thrift shop was located in several places until late 1999, when it moved to its own building across the tracks. Now, 15 churches are part of the thrift shop. Its popularity grew, and the thrift shop was expanded. The book is full of 50 years of fascinating history.

FIVE OK SKI RESORTS JOIN FORCES TO MARKET Five Okanagan ski resorts teamed up to provide weeklong spring break vacations that include flights from Hamilton to Kelowna International Airport.

RSP vs TFSA

Can you believe it’s February already? The days are getting longer and hopefully spring is just around the corner!

February also means this is your last chance to contribute to an RSP and get a deduction on your 2014 personal tax return. In fact, the rules for RSP contributions are that you can get a deduction on your current year’s tax return if you contribute in the first 60 days of the following calendar year. However, seeing as the 60th day (March 1st) falls on a weekend this year, Canada Revenue Agency has established the RRSP contribution deadline for the 2014 tax year to be March 2nd.

With the introduction of the Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) in 2009, however, the question continues to be asked as to whether a person should contribute to a RSP or to a TFSA. It

would be easy to say maximize your contributions to both, but in reality most of us don’t have the funds available to maximize both.

So if you have a limited amount you want to save, what should you do?

The answer to this question isn’t as clear cut as you may think, but there are some guidelines to help you make the decision.

With a TFSA you do not receive a tax deduction when contributing. However, you don’t have to pay tax on your funds (including growth) when withdrawing the funds. With a RSP contribution, you get a tax deduction, but your funds (including growth) are ultimately taxed upon withdrawal.

Let’s look at a simple example. Assume the Junior Bean

Share what you know!

You might be working on your bucket list, but you haven’t kicked the bucket yet! The folks at the Okanagan Regional Library want to hear about those things you have checked off the list.

They are looking for seniors that are interested in sharing their knowledge with others at the library. Share with other seniors, adults, or children. Share one to one, in small groups, or do larger presentations.

Some ideas are: • Mentor others with your financial knowledge.

• Teach someone how to play chess or bridge.

• Share your talent in painting, sculpting, and knitting.

• Teach a music class.

• Share your cultural history with a group • Share your knowledge of your local community’s history.

• Teach other seniors how to use their iPad, kobo reader, or laptop.

• Share your global travel experiences.

The ORL wants to celebrate your experience, knowledge, and wisdom. Contact them, come to the library, and share what you know!

If you are interested in sharing your knowledge with others, please contact your nearest branch of the ORL, or email mgaucher@orl.bc.ca.

Wellness fair

In the January 30th issue of Lakeshore News, on page A4, there was an article about the 11th annual Body & Soul Wellness Fair taking place in Vernon on March 7 and 8. The website for this event is www.bodyandsoulwellnessfair.com. This information was not presented in the article last week.

Pancake breakfast cancelled

Notice: the pancake breakfast on Sunday, February 8th at the Senior’s 5th Avenue Activity Centre has been cancelled.

Counter earns $5,500 in pre-tax income from selling custom cutlery and is taxed at a rate of 20%. This leaves him with $4,400 ($5,500– $1,100). He then invests the $4,400 in a

TFSA and earns 5% or $220 dollars after one year ($4,400 x 5%). So he now has $4,620.

Now assume the Junior Bean Counter instead invests $5,500 of pre-tax income into a RSP. You essentially don’t pay tax on it because you get to claim an offsetting deduction on your tax return. That $5,500 earns 5% after one year or $275, leaving a total of $5,775 inside the RSP. He then decides to withdraw

by Daron Mayes the total amount and is taxed at the same 20% tax rate as noted in the first scenario. He will also end up with $4,620 ($5,775 $1,155 or 20% x $5,775).

So as you can see the results are the same in the end. However, that only works if the tax rate at withdrawal is the same as the rate when the funds are contributed.

So what if the tax rate when you contribute is different than the rate when you withdraw? I will save you the pain of more numbers and simply tell you. Generally, RSPs make more sense if you anticipate your tax rate upon withdrawal to be lower than the rate when contributing. The opposite is also true in that a TFSA tends to make more sense if the anticipated tax rate at with-

©

drawal is the same or higher than that when contributing.

Like I said at the beginning, it isn’t as cut and dry as you may think. You also need to consider a variety of other factors like the effect future RSP income will have on your Old Age Security, Guaranteed Income Supplement and other benefits or tax credits affected by your income.

In the end, the important thing is to be saving your money in some form or another. However, it is worth asking the question as to what vehicle is best for you because if you are like the Junior Bean Counter, he doesn’t like paying any more taxes than necessary!

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT 2 plays for the price of 1

February is two by two month!

Starting February 20, Shuswap Theatre presents 2x2: Two One-Act Plays.

First up is Jewel, written by Joan MacLeod, and directed by Elizabeth Ann Skelhorne. This powerful, one-woman show is based on a real life catastrophe: the sinking of the Ocean Ranger oil rig off the coast of Newfoundland on Valentine’s Day, 1982. Three years later, widow Marjorie Clifford, at home in her trailer in Fort St. John, BC, begins to take the first step in understanding that the humanity of love, in all of its tentative frailty, uncertainty and promise, can free a life paralyzed and dominated by loss.

The second play is My Narrator,

by Norm Foster, and directed by Kate McKie. Norm Foster does it again! Imagine what would happen if that little voice inside your head – the one that tells you how to behave and what choices to make

– suddenly took on a life of its own? For Lacy and Miles, love is what happens, and with hilarious results.

Tickets are available online (with a modest convenience fee) or at Intwined Fibre Arts, 81 Hudson Ave NE, Salmon Arm, 778-4891090.

Prices are as follows: adults $20, seniors $18, students $10, and children $5. Performances are held over three weekends: February 20–22, February 26–March 1, and March 5–7. All performances are at 7:30 p.m. except Sundays, which are at 1:30 p.m.

Thursdays are “Pay What You Can.” Tickets are cash at the door only, no reserved seats.

Doors open one hour before show time.

Both Jewel and My Narrator are presented by special arrangement with the Playwrights Guild of Canada.

Two Days, One Night

The film begins when Sandra, a married mother of two, returns home from medical leave for depression only to be told she no longer has a job. Her friend Juliette informs her that the decision was made through a vote by her 16 co-workers (resulting 13-3) to keep their year-end bonuses over Sandra’s job. Together, after work on Friday, they convince their boss to hold one more vote the following Monday morning to allow Sandra to return to work if the majority of her co-workers vote Yes and sacrifice their much-needed bonuses. With the support of her husband, Sandra uses her two days and one night to confront each of her co-workers individually and convince them to vote in her favour despite each of their own financial struggles. Directed by the Dardenne brothers, this simple story digs deep into our personal senses of community, morals, and self-worth.

Two Days, One Night shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 7th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Second language broadens options

Canada’s French immersion program has attracted positive attention from many countries around the globe, particularly Finland, Sweden, Japan, Australia and the United States. These countries have created their own immersion programs based on the Canadian model. Within Canada, the immersion model is now being adapted to re-introduce native languages in First Nations communities.

French immersion significantly improves a child’s command of the French language with no detriment to English language skills. While Core French students study French for forty minutes a day, immersion students can spend up to 260 minutes a day interacting in French.

French immersion is one of the most effective ways for your child to become bilingual.

French immersion was designed to provide non-Francophone children with an opportunity to become fluent in the French language.

The first program began in 1968 with a small group of Anglophone parents in St. Lambert, Quebec, who wanted their children to be fluent in both English and French. Today, over 315,000 Canadian students are enrolled in French immersion programs. The majority of these students come from families where French isn’t spoken at home.

Research has demonstrated that students in French Immersion programs draw the following benefits: • Develop their listening skills, focus and concentration; • Learn organization, self-discipline and resourcefulness; • Increase cognitive abilities to understand complex and abstract concepts; • Enhance their ability to communicate in their first language; • Acquire a third or fourth language much easier; • Strengthen their problem-solving skills;

• Learn tolerance, insight and understanding of other cultures.

This program opens many academic, cultural and career options for children living in a global economy. Some areas where French is an asset includes tourism, the diplomatic service, politics, teaching, research, marketing and the civil service. Today, 30 percent of all job postings for federal public service jobs require the applicant to be fluent in both English and French.

Bilingualism is increasingly viewed as an asset that enables greater mobility. There are a number of Canadians running large international organizations across the world. The fact that they come from a bilingual country makes them more suited to understand and handle the various cultural sensitivities at play in the global economy.

Many parents who are thinking about enrolling their child in French immersion commonly ask “how can I help my child with their homework if I can’t speak French?” There are a number of steps you can take as a parent such as: • Communicate regularly with the teacher; • Read to your child in English or your mother tongue; • Provide access to verb books, visual dictionaries and online resources; • Provide access to French media such as books, videos and DVDs, music, TV, radio and the Internet; • Provide encouragement and support for their academic efforts.

Parents interested in registering their child for French immersion next September should attend the information meeting on March 3rd at 7:00 p.m. at Bastion Elementary School.

If you have any questions, contact Isabelle Gervais, Principal at École élémentaire Bastion at 250-832-3741.

Letters to the Editor The choice to die is personal

The letter by Erin Fraser (Jan. 30, 2015) in response to Sally Scales’ comments about someone choosing to die at 85 is, for me, typical of those people who fervently believe that their beliefs and truths should apply to all. For those who have certain religious/spiritual beliefs, they certainly have the right to practise this and live by the tenets and rules they think they must follow to live a full and so-called ‘good’ life. But that does not preclude that many people who choose to live according to their own beliefs which are not dictated by some ‘higher being’ are just as capable and are, in fact, doing good things and caring for people because ‘it is the right thing to do as human beings,’ not because of any real or imagined future rewards to come.

Many people would prefer to choose when/how/ where they die, but that is rarely an option.

For many of us, taking the responsibility of when to reproduce or not, look after another

person in sickness or in health, or when to die is something we choose to do, of our own free will.

These are personal decisions, and no one else’s to make. We each can choose how we live our lives, so why not have the same right to die if we choose this of our own free will? The right to religious beliefs also entails the right from religious beliefs. Please do not project your own beliefs unto others. I don’t want you telling me how I should live or die.

Some difficult decisions are very personal, and for a person to choose to die, for whatever reason, is a choice they alone should make if they want to, with no interference even by well-meaning ‘believers.’ To live in and with pain and accept this stoically sounds very noble, but I would never force another to live with this if they don’t want to. We should respect individuals as they are, not as we want them to be.

Elli Jilek, Sorrento

Mould not included in rent

When a common room/laundry room is attended to more than the rental units it is associated with, you really have to wonder where does our money actually go to when we rent low income housing in B.C.? Oh yeah, it goes to pay for a new wall in a place where we do our laundry. It does not go to fixing rotted windows, failing electrical wiring, or plumbing issues that need fixing now. I know some mature people who are in desperate situations where I live, and to see some of the insides of their homes make me want to do things I real-

ly shouldn’t do. When are the landlords and government going to realize that we need clean safe places, when we pay $1500 a month first? Just because we are low-income citizens does not give the landlords or the government the right to treat us like the bottom of a sludge barrel. I will fight for my human rights and I will make sure something gets done because mould and rotting window frames are not included with my rent that I might pay. Thank you.

Trumpeter swans

Pioneer homesteader Ralph Edwards lived at Lonesome Lake. His story, and that of his son John, can be brought up on YouTube, under Caruso of Lonesome Lake. But more so, it’s the story of how he and daughter Trudy horse-packed barley over treacherous mountain trails to Fogswamp, close to their homestead, to feed a few remaining trumpeter swans.

It was 1939, and at 10 years old, she was give the job by her dad of making sure the remaining birds were fed through the winter. Trudy is the only surviving member of the family now, and resides at Bella Coola. She has written two books about life on the homestead (one-pack trains and airplanes), and about the trumpeter swans. The Edwards farm and Fogswamp were destroyed by a massive forest fire that swept through that area on August 2004.

Going back in time, it was about 1925 when the federal government enlisted the help of Ralph along with $25 dollars for barley to feed the swans. They then became a protected species.

So today, looking back, man is his own worse enemy, with the devastation, and/or overhunting of various species of marine mammals, to grizzly bears, who then become legislated as an endangered species. But with the swans, seals, sea lions, orcas, dolphins, bears, and sandhill cranes, once they are given protection, they began to proliferate rather quickly. Hence there are now overabundances of species such

as the seals and sea lions on the BC coast.

Grizzly bears are now expanding their territories, along with wolves (now a major bone of contention). Included are the trumpeter swans, who are now in the

thousands, and winter in the Courtney/ Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. As beautiful as these giant birds are, they can be bossy and domineering when in with other waterfowl, to the point where some US states have a hunting season to reduce numbers. Recently, farmers in the Cowichan Valley complained about the destruction the swans were wreaking on their crops, as about 100 birds had settled there. The use of propane cannon guns to scare the birds away has the neighbours upset, and one swan struck a power line, causing a blackout for the area. (Google trumpeter swans for the complete story.)

Yet in Courtenay, where 3000 birds now

shuswapoutdoors winter, it has become a real spectacle. There, farmers have planted other attracting crops in adjacent fields to draw the birds away from their farm crops.

It’s difficult to draw a realistic conclusion on what is the best solution to balance nature, with the swans, and other animals, and growing populations including wolves and deer in our spreading residential footprint, as well our expanding forestry and resource extraction society.

We will probably have to come to terms with the fact that we will eventually lose some species and have to adjust to live with others among us! But there is often a humorous side to every story, and in various comments, on Facebook regarding the trumpeter swan story, one person wrote: The birds have no right to be in the Cowichan valley, and the government should send in a shuttle service to have the birds escorted to another location. Another wrote that our Air Force should send in C-35 fighter jets to do battle with the swans. There are growing numbers of trumpeters in our Shuswap. Take a drive along the Mara loop road in farming country, and you just may see them dipping for snails along the Shuswap River, or else you can view them from the bridge at Mara.

Here and there in the Shuswap Whether it’s a major issue about cell towers or disgruntled hunters, politicians had better take notice; when you get residents riled up you’d better listen. This was quite evident on January 31st out front of

by Hank Shelley Premier Christy Clark’s consistency office in Westbank, as over 1,200 hunters rallied and marched in protest over allocating guide outfitters up to 40% more game animals, with a corresponding decline in the allocation rights of resident hunters. In December 2014 the province decided to change this, giving the guides the bigger allocation. Information and printouts I have just received show that the guide outfitters received financial support from the Liberals in the jobs/tourism portfolio.

Amendments to the Wildlife Act favours the guides, and a former head of the Guides Outfitters Association is now a party lobbyist. I also aquired a list of names in the guiding and related businesses who contributed large donations to the Liberals. And, in the last 10 years, resident hunter numbers have increased from 84,000 to 102,000. Resident hunters contribute close to $230 million to the BC economy. Government also collects $9 million annually for license fees and surcharges. There are about 230 guide/outfitters in BC, and the number of foreign hunters they guide annually has dropped from 6,500 to 4,500, or 30%.

BC residents enjoy their hunting/fishing biking/hiking the back country, and we don’t want political strife to ruin what we have in a shrinking world. Email Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations, or your local MLA to express your concern regarding this favouritism.

TREAT ALL HER SENSES If there’s one day in the year when even the most reticent among us have to express a bit of tenderness, it is definitely Valentine’s Day. But nobody says we have to go over the top. What if we just forgot about extravagance this year and went for pure relaxation? If you’re not sure how to woo her the way she’d like, just let the five senses be the guide.

FIRST STEP: EYESIGHT To start the day off on the right foot, there’s nothing like a love letter or little message. It doesn’t matter if it is given in person, left in clear view on the kitchen table, or sent by e-mail. What it says is all that counts.

SECOND STEP: SMELL Even if you think it’s a cliché, don’t hesitate to offer a bouquet to your loved one. Be sure to choose flowers that will bewitch her with their fragrance.

FOURTH STEP: TASTE Now comes the moment to enjoy some special treats, starting with a bottle of champagne.

Accompany this divine nectar with creamy chocolates or even some delicious red velvet cupcakes, purchased at your favourite bakery or made with love at home.

FIFTH STEP: TOUCH To finish the evening on the perfect note, think silky lingerie, massage and essential oils, or a romantic bath for two. Sensual pleasures, guaranteed!

THIRD STEP: HEARING Set the tone for the evening by putting on some soft, romantic tunes. Let your loved one know how much you love her. After all, who could get tired of hearing that?

Over the past few years I have received emails regarding benefits refugees receive at a cost to taxpayers. Moreover, that those benefits have been more generous than those provided to Canadians, especially, seniors.

In the past it took close to two years to process a refugee claim. Taxpayers were providing health and dental care as well as social assistance for the two years at a cost of $50,000 per refugee. The former Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, the Hon. Jason Kenney, streamlined the application process so that a refugee would receive a yes or no in 45 days of their application to immigrate.

Minister Kenney also restricted refugees coming to Canada from democratic countries.

Refugees coming from Mexico, Hungary, and other democratic states were stating that they were under persecution and needed asylum.

These claims were bogus. The Government of Canada now has a list of recognized democratic countries and we will not process their citizens as ‘refugees’. People from these countries need to apply to immigrate to Canada through the proper channels. Bogus asylum claimants only delay legitimate immigration applicants in their effort to jump the queue.

Interestingly, the Federal Court of Appeal reinstated the benefits to refugees contrary to the Federal Government’s policy change. Our Government is defending the interests of Canadian taxpayers as well as the integrity of our refugee system. Our Government will appeal this decision. Canada has a generous refugee system but it has been abused by bogus refugee claimants and we will fix this problem.

Another challenge that we have experienced in

by Colin Mayes B.C. are ‘Visitor Visas’ used by pregnant mothers who stay in Canada until they give birth, leave, and have the taxpayers of Canada foot the hospital bill. Yes, this is happening, and government needs to clamp down on these abusers of our generosity. This is not mean-spirited; it is just stopping the theft of taxpayer’s money.

When we first took office in 2006 there were close to 800,000 immigration applications on the wait list. We have worked to prioritize and process these applications in a timely manner. We have also taken to task unscrupulous immigration consultants by increasing fines and charging immigration consultants that defraud immigration applicants.

Our Immigration and Refugee System should be conducted in line with our Canadian values of transparency and fairness to the immigration applicants, refugees, and Canadian taxpayers.

Thank you

I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the following people who helped me on January 8, when I was struck by a car at Hudson and Shuswap: the wonderful lady who stayed by my side the entire time, the young man who took control of the scene, the young lady who gave me water, all those who offered blankets, the many passers-by who offered their cell phones and first aid, the RCMP officers, ambulance attendants, and all the staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital. I thank you all so very much.

SPORTS & LEISURE Pirates on planks invade Larch Hills

By Pat Danforth With the school district’s support, over 400 elementary students (below) skipped class to play “Captain Hookie” and take part in the Children’s Pirate Ski Loppet on Friday, January 30. Eye-patched, mustachioed and with boisterous enthusiasm they “walked their planks” over 5 km of the Larch Hills.

Nineteen different schools from Armstrong to Revelstoke and Enderby to Sorrento were represented with North Canoe and South

Broadview schools receiving recognition for their high participation numbers.

Throughout January, teachers and 40 local ski club volunteers introduced students to the Larch Hills, and were repaid with the common refrain of “I love cross country skiing.” The students’ weeks of practice cul-

minate in celebrating their new skills in the non-competitive Pirate Loppet, originally spearheaded by local teacher Brian Smith 17 years ago.

This unique event, thought to be the largest children’s ski event in the province, is intended to encourage skiing as a fun, active and social experience and an opportunity to appreciate the natural environment. The camaraderie of the day was exemplified by the shared laughter and celebration of each finisher with a throng of cheering and the promise of a hot lunch.

Strong community support was shown by S.D. 83 Director of Instruction Morag Asquith who skied with the students, the Shuswap Lady Striders that prepared lunch, the tri-corned registrars and scarred course marshals that directed, encouraged and entertained the skiers, Mike Evans of the Monashee Mountain Men that provided the start gun, and the local businesses and organizations that donated their time, equipment, money and draw prizes. Announcer Cap’n Tom fostered the jovial atmosphere with his pirate banter and b”arrrgh”ked jokes.

Over the past four years, $8100 has been raised and donated back to local schools to assist them in the purchase of cross country ski equipment.

SPORTS & LEISURE Trail explorers

Olympian visits Hillcrest

Drawing on her years of experience and three gold medals with the Canadian women’s hockey team, Olympian Jennifer Botterill spoke to an enthralled group of Hillcrest Elementary students Wednesday on the importance of teamwork, leadership and volunteerism. Using examples and video clips from the Vancouver and Sochi Olympics, Jennifer encouraged the students to be the best teammate, friend and person they can be. The presentation was a prize from a BCAA program for elementary school’s safety patrol programs.

After fulfilling safety patrol requirements and entering a BCAA sponsored draw, Hillcrest was chosen as this year’s provincial winner.

In the presentation that lasted for more than an hour, Botterill also showed the students her three gold medals, while talking about how every member of the hockey team, like every person in a community, has an equally important role to play.

At the end of the presentation the safety patrollers were thanked for the volunteerism and good work with little backpacks containing a tee shirt and other supplies. Each student in the school also received an autographed picture of Botterill.

Masters swimming

Swimming is one of the best low-impact sports there is, and Masters Swimming is open to all levels of swimmers, from beginning to advanced. The next session of Masters Swimming starts Tuesday, February 10th and club welcomes more swimmers.

There are five swims per week, Monday and Wednesday evenings at 7:30–9:00, Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 6:00–7:30, as well as Saturday mornings 6:30–8:00.

If you are interested in improving your fitness and swimming in a non-competitive setting with great coaching, come try up to two sessions with the club before committing.

Contact club president Lori Roy at theroys@ telus.net for more information or to obtain a registration form.

Cedar Heights bridge

Cedar Heights Duplicate Bridge Club results for Wednesday, January 28th were as follows: in first place, Michael Clayton and Dan Quilty; in second place, Vicki Coe and Jack Ashenbrenner; and tied for third place were Fred Viehoffer and Bruce Motherwell; and Jane Dale and Peter Grout.

The Cedar Heights Duplicate Bridge Group meets every Wednesday evening at Cedar Heights Center on Cedar Drive in Blind Bay. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with play starting at 7:00 p.m.

Any Saturday spent skiing up at Larch Hills is a good Saturday for the members of the Youth Explorers ski group (“Explorers”), pictured at right.

Lead by Matt Henrie and with the help of Danielle Gifford, the Explorers are a group of energetic young skiers (10-17 years old) with strong parental support that ski the more challenging and/or less traveled trails of the Larch Hill trail system.

In the fall of 2014, parent Jennifer Henrie expressed interest in helping to organize the program. With input from stakeholders in the ski community, the program was re-designed and renamed “Explorers.” It built on the former success of what was previously known as the “Challenge Program,” led most recently by Trish Wallensteen.

The emphasis of the program is on fun, social skiing and longer ski times (2+ hours). “Explorers provides a great alternative to the Junior Racers team,” says Jennifer Henrie. “Explorers is a group wherein young people can find a place to continue skiing with peers once they’ve completed Jackrabbits. They are able to keep skiing regularly and have a blast doing it, without the commitment of the race team.”

The group meets regularly on Saturday mornings from mid-December to mid-February.

For more information, contact Jennifer Henrie at 250-832-6999. Photo contributed.

College organizes environmental art competition

Okanagan College is organizing an environmentally-focused event, Earth Matters, that fuses intellect and creative expression by blending an art competition with an academic symposium.

The college has arranged speakers on four themes: biodiversity, water resources, waste and climate change. Artists are invited to participate in this event through presentation of environmentally-themed works of art.

The art competition is open to new and experienced artists alike.

Participants are being asked to create two-dimensional environmentally-themed art that engages the public on any one of the four themes. Entries must be submitted by March 20th, 2015.

“We are organizing this competition and symposium for a number of reasons,” explains Kathleen Jagger, College Professor in the Department of Geography and Earth & Environmental Science. “First and foremost, we intend to highlight the link between creative expression and academic study in the natural and social sciences.”

Artistic representation is enhanced by understanding the subject matter, she explains, and this forum will provide both artistic and intellectual portrayal of some important environmental issues facing modern society.

“We have scheduled academic talks in four areas of environmental science, and each area will be showcased and augmented by artwork submitted by

artists who choose to express their connections with the environment through the medium of art,” says Jagger. “This forum will bring together various perspectives on current issues with the aim of moving us all toward more connection with the topics of biodiversity, water, waste and climate change.”

Entries in the art competition are not limited to any specific medium or genre.

“The art should invoke a greater appreciation for the environment and perhaps inspire new ideas and solutions to current issues,” says Jagger.

Physically, original works should be no larger than 45 x 75cm (20 x 30”). All entries must be submitted in digital format for judging (visit okanagan.bc.ca/ earthmatters for contest specifics and instructions) and need to be accompanied by an artist statement that explains the work. All entries must be submitted electronically through the site.

There are two categories for entrants: students in Grades 10-12 and an adult category open to those 18 and older.

Entrants must be residents of the Okanagan College region.

In the secondary school category, first-place winners in each theme area will receive a $500 tuition bursary to Okanagan College. In the open category (aged 18 and over), winners in each theme area will receive a one-day workshop with internationally-acclaimed nature artist Terry Isaac at his studio in Penticton.

All entries will be displayed digitally at the symposium. In addition, each of the eight first-place works will be professionally framed (if appropriate) and presented to the symposium by the artist.

From the pool of winning entries, a “best-of-show” selection will be made and the winner will receive a signed (and framed) print donated by wellknown Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman.

Entrants are required to submit a digital representation of their art by 5 p.m. on March 20th. Winners will be contacted by March 25th and will be required to provide the original work to Okanagan College directly (any campus) by April 1st in order to be framed for the symposium on April 9th.

For more information contact Kathleen Jagger at kjagger@okanagan. bc.ca.
