Donation for health

On a February Saturday morning, Sorrento Scottish Country Dancers interrupted their fun and their dancing to present a $250 donation to the Sorrento & Area Community Health Centre. The Centre is dependent on the community to fund the operation of the Centre, while Interior Health pays the salary and benefits of nurse practitioner Judy Deringer. The community has been extremely generous in the first 15 months of operation, and the centre continues to need your generosity. Donations can be made at the Health Centre located above Munro’s Sorrento Prescriptions; mailed to the Health Centre at PO Box 193, Sorrento, V0E 2W0; by deposit to the Health Centre Account at the Sorrento branch of SASCU; or by PayPal. You can make an appointment by calling 250-803-5251.

Wendy Dean, the community’s Highland Dancer extraordinaire, presents the cheque to Marilyn Clark, President of the Health Centre Society.

Heritage Week celebrates Main Street

Main Street: at the heart of the community is the theme of Heritage Week 2015. Proclaimed by Heritage BC, Main Street is defined as a venue for commerce, entertainment, worship, and shopping. It is a place that reflects a community’s social and economic history.

Main Street is a term commonly used in Ireland, Scotland and the U.S. Our British counterparts call their commercial core High Street, but Jamaican communities use the term Front Street – just like early Salmon Arm residents called the street we now call Lakeshore.

It was the place with the first post office and general store. It connected to the Valley Road winding its way to the C.P.R. station, Mrs. McGuire’s jetty on the lake, and the outside world.

The origins of the wagon road can be traced back to 1890 when the province built the road from the C.P.R. Station, over the Salmon River, and to settlers’ homes in the valley. When funding–a grand total of $500–ran out, locals volunteered to finish the project with corduroy - logs that ran perpendicular to the road.

According to historian and author Denis Marshall, Front Street began its days as Railway Avenue, but by 1906 it had a new name. It was a logical name, as the street fronted on the water and railway and it was the first street to have sidewalks. They were constructed of wood in 1907 and pedestrians could walk from the C.P.R. station to the MacKay Currie General Store at Shuswap Avenue.

When Peter Burnet surveyed the downtown core in 1906, he followed Agnes McGuire’s instructions. He likely worked off of Mrs. McGuire’s wooden pegs identifying boundary of her original 149 acres, the C.P.R. line and the surveyed road to the Valley. Front St. was not identified on his plan. Agnes McGuire named only the new streets: Hudson - her birth name; Alexander for her husband; Shuswap Avenue, and

Leah

Okanagan St. for lakes, and McLeod, Harris, and Palmer for non-relatives.

Burnet’s survey gave boundaries to the town that was already emerging.

Development west of the road to the wharf began in 1891. McGuire Store met competition from two other enterprises bankrolled by Thomas Shaw and A. Bunyan. Responding to the demands of the market, Sam McGuire opened a new store and post office with an addition - a meeting hall on the second floor.

His building was located on the same lot as where the Toronto Dominion Bank is today. The construction of the first hotel, Cameron House, followed in 1895. In spite of organized protests from the I.O.G.T. and Methodists in the Valley, the hotel was also granted a licence to run a public house. By 1900 there was also a purpose-built school in town.

Like current good planning and development practices, the core was not entirely commercial. Small bungalows sprang up. Barns were added. A movie theatre began showing silent films. A barber shop, veterinarian, and pharmacy opened up shop. Three pool halls opened – one on Front Street, one on Hudson next to S.H. Lawrence’s store, and one on Alexander. A bank opened about the same time as churches were built on the town’s periphery, near Okanagan St. The downtown was vibrant. The formu-

la? A mixture of commercial and residential buildings, entertainment houses, and worship venues defined the community and satisfied its residents. Kind of like the downtown we know today, but without the mud of 1907!

When talking about historical development in the nucleus of Salmon Arm, City of Salmon Arm Planner Kevin Pearson says, “There’s energy in our downtown core, generated by the character and charm of our precious heritage buildings, along with some of the recent façade improvements made to other historical buildings. The decorative streetscapes, lined with trees and flowers, lend to a pedestrian- friendly and inviting atmosphere. This vibrancy was made possible from a culmination of civic pride, partnerships, and planning.”

Main Street Salmon Arm is still a development in progress.

Join the celebration marking the historic heart of the community during Heritage Week! To see displays courtesy of the Salmon Arm Museum at R.J. Haney Heritage Village and others visit the Mall at Piccadilly between February 16 and 21.

HEALTH & BEAUTY Marshmallow

Marshmallow herb is also called Althea officinalis. The root of this herb is very soothing to the gastro-intestinal system. Herbalist uses it in many conditions where there is inflammation of the

gastro-intestinal tract.

Marshmallow works as a mucilage, producing a thick sticky substance that coats membranes. Marshmallow extract contains flavonoids which contain anti-inflammatory

seniorswellness properties. The flavonoids are able to reduce inflammation while the mucilage holds them in place and prevents further damage. The extracts also induce phagocytosis, which is the process in which certain cells engulf bacteria, dead cell tissues or other solid particles.

This helps speed up the healing process.

The mucilage remains unaltered until it reaches the colon, which is why marshmallow works well on most inflammatory digestive disorders.

Marshmallow root helps with dyspeptic conditions, especially with hyperacidity. It helps in inflammatory diseases of the digestive track like reflux esophagitis, gastritis, peptic ulceration, enteritis, colitis and

irritable bowel syndrome.

Ointments and creams containing marshmallow herb are available for healing of skin conditions as well. The leaves of these herbs are also used by herbalist used in various conditions like dry cough, inflammation of upper respiratory tract and urinary tract.

This herb can interfere with absorption so it best to not to take it with meals or medications. It’s best to consult a health care practitioner before taking this herb as it can interact with certain medications and health conditions.

Spring cleaning

Well over 100 years ago, a British poet and designer named William Morris was quoted as saying “have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” I find it interesting that a statement made so many years ago is just as applicable today as it was back then.

What I am referring to is the fact that if everyone took an honest look around their home, it’s very likely they would find a number of things that are no longer useful nor beautiful to them.

Because of habit or guilt, all too often we hold onto objects that we no longer utilize.

Most often, however, we have not made the time to organize our homes and belongings.

One simply has to recall all of the “Black Friday” and “Boxing Week” marketing to appreciate how consumer-driven our society has become. We are constantly bombarded with information encouraging us to buy and consume

more.

Tomorrow being Valentine’s Day once again puts pressure on people to purchase unnecessary stuff in order to demonstrate our love for that someone special. We have lost sight of what makes us happy and are often brainwashed into believing material possessions prove self-worth. When our lives and homes become so cluttered with stuff, it can be easy to forget what truly matters – our relationships with family and friends, peace of mind, and sense of self.

The benefits of clearing out the clutter in our homes are extensive, and the relief we experience is immediate. One just has to clear out a cluttered and neglected closet or space to experience the stress reduction. It’s far too easy to underestimate the stress created by a cluttered, disorganized, and dirty home.

We tend to not sleep as well when we are crowded by possessions. Anxiety is created by tripping over

or having to navigate around clutter in our home. Health declines when stress levels are elevated and unnecessary stress increases when things can’t be found due to disorganization. It’s a vicious cycle.

So this year, make time to do a spring cleaning and honestly assess the objects in your home that you have been carrying around (or tripping over) for years. They may remind you of a specific event, or holiday, or person, but it is important to realize memories do not exist within objects, rather they are found in our hearts and minds.

Clearing away the clutter opens up our homes to be the sanctuary and safe place they are supposed to be. Reducing stress through organizing our home goes a long way in further promoting one’s health and wellness.

Eating disorders do not discriminate mental health issue. It can occur at any age; Melanie was not diagnosed until she was in her twenties and completing her university degree. As well, there is a growing number of males being diagnosed with the disorder each year; so it’s not just a female issue. It can strike people of any body weight, type, or mass.

So, what are the signs and symptoms of this disorder? Melanie says that there are many signs, some that are not obvious at first. The dismissal of an entire food group from the diet is a common one; also exercising that is solely for the purpose of losing weight and not for health or pleasure reasons.

Of course some more obvious signs include skipping meals, avoiding eating with others, or in a public setting and frequent trips to the bathroom during or directly after meals.

Individuals with this affliction are commonly obsessive. They may tend to be overachiev-

Last week my friend Melanie asked if I could participate in Eating Disorder Awareness week by wearing purple on February 6. Melanie had struggled with eating disorders in the past and as a person recovering, she wanted to bring awareness of the problem to others.

Melanie found during her childhood that whenever she was having a bad day, that not eating would make it easier to cope.

Eventually she was diagnosed with anorexia. Her treatment and recovery was a long process that took many years. In fact, the average time of recovery from such a disorder is 7–10 years, something that I learned from Melanie when I got up the nerve to ask her about her experience. I realized that I knew nothing about such things, and when I queried her further, the information poured forth.

I learned that eating disorders are not just a “teen girl problem”– they are serious mental illnesses, not a “lifestyle choice.” It can be a dangerous thing, with a mortality rate of around 10%, the highest of any

ers or perfectionists, control freaks or people who are looking for control in their own life.

Melanie admits that a series of traumatic events when she was a child was a contributing factor to her own illness.

Melanie’s recovery

has taken a broad path; she found that the standard treatment and recovery method that was used on her simply did not work, and wants to stress to others that are suffering that they need to advocate for themselves and build a treatment plan that will work for them, includ-

ing finding and hand-picking the councillors, doctors, dieticians, and psychiatrists who they are able to work with and finding other therapy that parallels the standard therapy methods. Melanie’s own recovery methods include equine therapy and her pet hedgehogs.

She stresses that recovery takes many years and that the people around you need to be aware of this.

It’s not until that person takes back and establishes control in his or her life that he/ she can be considered recovered, and this can take a long time.

What makes Melanie so passionate that she would want to go and stand out in the public and talk to them about a problem that is normally hidden in the closet?

In August, her uncle who had been her biggest supporter and who had always advocated for her, passed away, and it made her realize

MEN’S SWEATERS

just how short life really is. She made a promise to him before he passed that she would do everything in her power to live life to the fullest.

And so it ended up that Melanie donned purple clothing and purple toque, a colour she freely admits is definitely not her favourite, and with two large bunches of purple balloons in hand, went out on Friday and handed out pamphlets and chocolate wrapped in purple, the chosen colour to symbolize Eating Disorder Awareness Week, and chatted with passers-by to bring awareness to this significant problem in North America.

Melanie’s complete recovery is well on its way and for that she says that she really would like thank all the various doctors and nurses that helped her during her time of struggle. Once again, she wants everyone to know that if they have an eating disorder that they will be able to overcome it, that they

have to learn to advocate for themselves, keep focused in the right direction, and find

a recovery plan that works for them.

DOCTOR-ASSISTED DEATH IS COMING The Supreme Court struck down Canada’s 123-yearold law against assisted suicide as unconstitutional. It ruled that Canadians have a right to die with the assistance of a doctor. All nine judges were in favour and signed the document, which is rare. The government has a year to allow for new rules and laws to be drafted.

These Canadians will qualify for doctor-assisted death: adults in horrific pain, all persons with a serious disability, and patients with psychological suffering. They have a right to end their life with a doctor’s help. It is not restricted to the terminally ill. This degree of permissiveness does not exist anywhere else in the world.

NURSE-ASSISTED END OF LIFE I helped a dying woman die in 1969 when I was a nurse in a Vancouver hospital. At change of shift, the nurse going off duty told me a certain cancer patient was due for her pain injection in two hours. But I said she was unconscious. In a whisper, the nurse said, “It helps them die quicker. The doctor’s order said to keep her comfortable.”

In 1970 my family moved to Salmon Arm and I worked in the Salmon Arm, Enderby and Armstrong hospitals until I started this newspaper in 1975. At change of shift, I told the oncoming nurse that a patient dying of cancer was due for her injection shortly, then whispered, “It helps them die quicker. The doctor’s order said to keep her comfortable.” Years later that nurse saw me and said it worked. I looked puzzled. She reminded me about the woman with cancer.

I WAS NEARLY FIRED OVER A DYING PATIENT The woman was in terrible pain due to cancer. After seeing a TV documentary by Dr. Elizabeth Kuber-Ross in Chicago, I was convinced that patients wanted to know the truth. During morning care, the woman said, “When I go home…” I asked, “What if you don’t go home?” She became filled with anger, which I knew was the first of five phases of dying.

She told one of her relatives, and she reported me to the nurse-in-charge. I was called into a private office and warned that if I did that again, I might be terminated. In a week, the patient was happy. She had chosen the dress to wear in her coffin, and wanted her rosary clasped in her hands. I asked how she felt talking about her death.

She said it should have happened long ago. Dr. Kubler Ross said the final stage of dying is acceptance.

Six months later, all nurses from that hospital attended a workshop on how to talk to the dying, held at Okanagan College in Salmon Arm. PATIENT WAITED FOR ME TO HELP HER DIE A woman in her 20s was brought from the coast to die in her home-town hospital, the town where she would be buried. She was in my care, and was in a private ward.

She was skin and bones and was too ill to talk. So I talked to her between morphine injections, about what to expect when she dies.

On Friday I told her I had the weekend off. Surely she couldn’t last, I thought. But she waited for me. When I greeted her on Monday, I asked if she was ready. She gave a little nod. I gave her a shot of morphine and said I’d be back in 10 minutes. When I returned I held her hand, stroked her forehead, told her how much she was

loved, and told her soon her pain would be gone. I kept talking softly that she would see green grass, a bright light, and someone in a white robe. Her relatives who had died would be there to greet her. Her breathing became shallow, her husband left the room, and I stayed till she died.

Having been a maternity nurse after I finished nurse’s training, the excitement of a birth had decreased and was nothing to my feeling of satisfaction when I helped a dying patient pass into the next life.

ALBERT EINSTEIN DIED AFTER REFUSING SURGERY After B.H. read in previous columns about my plan to refuse treatment and die at 85 if I am not well and life has no meaning, B.H. sent this: “Albert Einstein died after refusing surgery, saying: “I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.”

NO NEED TO TAKE MY BLOOD PRESSURE I had a prescription for blood pressure medication refilled by a new doctor at my usual clinic. As he reached for the blood pressure cuff on the wall I said no, there is no need to take my blood pressure. I plan to die at 85. He laughed.

I ENJOY VERY PURE ORANGE JUICE I bought a dozen large oranges, put them in the dishpan and sprayed each with a fruit and veggie soak that helps remove surface pesticides, wax, dirt, and chemical residues. After a five or 10 minutes I rubbed each one with my hands, and rinsed all of them well. Stores that sell natural products, and health food stores carry the cleaning products.

I sectioned an orange, sucked the juice, ate the pulp, and drank a glass of good Salmon Arm water from the tap. No added sugar, orange perfume or preservatives.

Delicious and nutritious!

NO MORE CHOCOLATE FOR ME When I learned that chocolate is not beneficial for the heart as manufacturers led us to believe, I stopped buying chocolate bars. I’m saving $40 a month.

SOME VEGGIES IN PRODUCE SECTION MIGHT MAKE YOU ILL, HEALTH CANADA WARNS A little bit of ebola on leafy vegetables is OK, but when there is a lot, it can make you sick. I never buy lettuce or other salad vegetables in a sealed plastic bag or clear plastic box. I prefer the unwrapped ones that can breathe, and enjoy a spray of water once in a while.

I always use a fruit and vegetable wash on fresh fruit and salad vegetables, even if I buy them at the organic market. I’m going to stay strong and healthy!

“THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE, SALLY” A retired woman who has been renting a large house to tenants for 22 years, suddenly had a troublesome tenant and she phoned me for advice on how to get him out. He had given her a month’s notice that he would be leaving, but she wanted him out sooner. After listening to her for half an hour, I suggested she give him a 10-day eviction notice. She did, and on the 10th day he moved out of town.

She called and thanked me over and over again. We talked for another half hour. She felt such a relief to have the tenant out. She gave me his name and wanted it added to my list of bad tenants.

TARGET’S 16 WEEKS OF PAY ON CLOSING Now that Target stores are selling their stock, employees learned they must work in order to get 16 weeks of pay. Many quit and found jobs elsewhere. The CEO of Target in Canada is receiving a bonus that is greater than the total of all the 16 weeks pay that all employees are getting.

REFUSE SMART METER? PAY HYDRO’S FEE OR HAVE YOUR ELECTRICITY CUT OFF If you continue to use an analog meter, BC Hydro’s fee is $32.40 per month. The charge was approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission. It covers the cost of the additional infrastructure needed so that the smart grid can operate around the non-communicating meters and the cost of maintaining the old system. It includes the cost of sending meter readers out to homes of smart-meter holdouts. Opted-out customers who refuse to pay the fees will have their electricity cut off.

I don’t mind smart meters. People are bathed in wireless radio, telephone and internet signals every time they walk down a city street.

SCRIBBLES ON THE INTERNET BY A SENIOR WOMAN Your kids are becoming like you… but your grandchildren are perfect!

Going out is good. Coming home is better.

You forget names, but it’s OK because some people forgot they even knew you.

You sleep better on a recliner with the TV on than in bed. It’s called pre-sleep.

You miss the days when everything worked with just an ON and OFF switch.

What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

Everybody whispers.

You have three sizes of clothes in your closet, two of which you will never wear.

Cat on a cold shingle roof

Property damage

On Sunday, February 8, a portion of a gravel road located in Anglemont Estates sloughed away into a gully, depositing debris onto a single property and damaging a seasonal residence, which was vacant at the time.

The Shuswap Emergency Program activated an Emergency Operations Centre to monitor the situation and coordinate public safety efforts.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure would like to remind drivers to slow down, watch for maintenance workers and obey traffic control.

For further information regarding this event, please contact Eric Lachmuth with Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure at 250-5033604 or cell 250-540-2510. Photo contributed.

The other night before heading to bed I noticed Duma hadn’t come in for the night which is her usual routine this time of year. So I went outside and called her, but after a few minutes gave up and went back inside and eventually to bed.

The next morning as I was getting ready for work, my wife says, “Duma is stuck on the roof of the house!”

“Seriously?” I replied.

My wife explained how she won’t get down from the roof and is sitting up there meowing for help.

The last time this happened I nearly broke my neck climbing up a ladder and fighting to get her off the roof in a freezing cold wind. This time I thought I would try something a little different.

So I opened up our bedroom window and popped the screen out. I figured I might be able to hang out the bedroom window far enough to reach the edge of the roof and hopefully coax her close enough to grab her.

As soon as she saw me she came over to the edge of the roof. I thought to myself, “Good, Duma, this is going to be easy!”

However, as I was positioning myself to ensure I didn’t fall 15 feet into our flower bed below, she decided to let me know just how excited she was to see me. Instead of waiting

on the edge of the roof where I could save her she moved further up the roof and began rubbing against the drain pipe. It was her way of telling me just how excited she was to see me; except that it wasn’t really helping the situation.

So here I was hanging on for dear life out my window while she is purring away rubbing against the drain pipe. I wasn’t thrilled.

After some more calling of her name, she finally moved to the edge of the roof where I quickly grabbed the scruff of her neck with one hand.

The only problem was she dug her claws into the roof and started holding onto the roof while I was teetering on the window sill holding on for my life.

Eventually she let go of the roof, but as I tried to bring her through the window she grabbed onto the outside of the window with her claws again refusing to make it easy for me to save her. After a short struggle I was finally able to convince her to let me bring her through the window.

In the end, we both managed to avoid any serious injuries. I told her that it’s great that she’s such a good climber, but that it’d be nice to see her get better at going back down.

Besides, if this keeps happening I’m worried that I’ll be the one going down and unlike her, I don’t have nine lives at my disposal!

Visioning committee 2014 was a good year for the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce says Chamber President Jim Kimmerly (above, left).

“We took on a new initiative, a Visioning Committee.

It’s a group of 14 organizations or individuals and we’re discussing a whole list of ideas.”

Part of their discussions involved growth initiatives that had been divisive in the past such as Smart Centres.

“It caused a lot of frustration for a lot of people. We’ve been working through these issues and we walk out the door with a good common feeling. We think we’ve accomplished quite a bit.”

One of the ideas the Visioning Committee is discussing is using Marine Park to a greater degree with more organized events.

“We have a lot of tourists who come to the Shuswap and go out into the other areas for camping and Salmon Arm doesn’t get the maximum benefit, we don’t have enough fun events for them to spend their money here,” says Jim. Members of the committee include: Jim Kimmerly - Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce; Albert Quinn - Adams Lake Indian Band; Frank Bugala – CASSSA; Rob Marshall - Community Futures; Barb Munro - Community Futures; Cookie Langenfeld - Downtown Salmon Arm; Mel Arnold - Shuswap Pro Development; Warren Bell – WA:TER; Brent Moffat – WorkBC; John McLeod - Agriculture & Food Security; Jim Barmby - Okanagan College; Lana Fitt - Salmon Arm Economic Development Society; and Tracey Kutschker - Salmon Arm Arts Centre.

Gas price disparity One of the projects the Chamber worked on during 2014 was gas price reduction in Salmon Arm. “The whole goal is to get a parity with surrounding communities like Enderby, Vernon, and Kelowna,” says Jim. “We’ve certainly closed that gap.”

While the Chamber can’t take all the credit, says Chamber General Manager Corryn Grayston (above, right), they were “relentless” with the petroleum companies “like a dog with a bone.”

Accessible tourism Thanks to a Canada grant in 2014 the Chamber was able to work on an important inventory project that they will continue this summer.

“For many years we’ve seen a gap in accessible recreation and tourism events for persons with mobility issues,” says Corryn.

Many tourists come to the Shuswap with family members who have mobility challenges and they want to know what recreational places and events they can access.

“They want to enjoy what we have but they don’t know what that is. We are creating an inventory for people with limited access. It’s part of the process of allowing those people to enjoy recreation,” says Corryn.

“It’s a big project and it will be finalized this year. We will share this information with Destination BC and other Chambers and ideally they’ll embrace the concept. There are websites dedicated to people with mobility issues and

we’ll be sharing it with them so they can get it on their websites.”

2014 tourism stats show upward trend “We had a significant improvement in visitor and tourism stats,” says Corryn Grayston. “We’re up 22 per cent.

That puts us leading the charge for most of our regional centres; we’re significantly higher. We’re doing well.”

The only Visitor Centre that recorded a greater increase was Chase (+ 42.79%). Merritt, Enderby, and Vernon also had better numbers than last year but Armstrong, Kamloops, Kelowna, Penticton, and Sicamous had fewer visitors last year than in 2013.

Statistics from the Salmon Arm Visitor Centre: 2014 - 17,359, 2013 - 14,188, 2012 - 15,534, 2011 16,968, and 2010 - 19,754.

“One of the reasons is that the economy is on the rebound and people are traveling more,” says Corryn.

“We’re seeing a higher number of Asian visitors coming through and more Albertans and Europeans. I think people are feeling better about the economy and are spending more money and coming to B.C.” In 2014 most tourists who stopped by the Visitor Centre were from other parts of B.C. Tourist origin stats for 2014 BC - 2,249, Local - 2,194, AB - 1,802, Europe - 1,150, Canada - 574, Asia/Aus - 345, and US - 248.

The dominant salmon year (2014) also increased visitors dramatically in the fall. The stats show 1803 people stopped at the Salmon Arm Visitor Centre in October as opposed to 608 in October, 2013.

Salmon run going global Award-winning Canadian documentary film maker Nettie Wild was in the Shuswap last fall visiting a friend, Ian McDiarmid. While she was here she went to see the Adams Lake salmon run.

“She decided she needed to do a film. Then she had to decide what to do with it,” says Corryn. Nettie didn’t want to do just an ordinary documentary, she wanted it to be more spectacular, and she wanted to do something more far-reaching.

“She was biking under the Cambie Street bridge (in Vancouver) and got the idea.”

On any given week night there are about 300 people in that area. On a weekend, it can get up to 3,000. Using the underside of the Cambie Street bridge as a screen, she showed a few minutes of what they had filmed. The result was spectacular, as the giant salmon look like they’re swimming toward the city, and the bridge pillars give it a 3-D effect.

“She met with Vancouver City Council and they are so excited about the project.”

In mid January Nettie was in Salmon Arm to meet with the local stakeholders including representatives of the First Nations bands.

“She wanted to talk about logistics and what needs to happen,” says Corryn. She expects it to be ready for 2017.

“This kind of art installation will go global the minute it hits.”

On the local level, says Corryn, they’re expecting this to bring in huge numbers of tourists.

“We have to make sure we’re ready for them when they arrive. We’re going to have to have services in place so that when they arrive, they have an experience of a lifetime. We cannot be more excited about this project.”

Gala event slated for fall “For the Chamber it’s going to be a huge year of change,” says Jim. “We’ve had a lot of programs in place for years and years and we’re going to revamp.”

Besides getting their membership numbers increased, the Chamber plans to come with new projects and programs and resurrect past popular events.

Jim says the Chamber Board of Directors is bolstered with people with a lot of experience which is pivotal in moving forward.“We’re going to bring back the Business Excellence and Gala Event, that’s what has been missing for a number of years.”

The gala event takes place on Friday, September 25.

Fire Department says thanks The members of the Salmon Arm Fire Department would like to thank everyone who helped to ‘Fill The Boot’ in support of Muscular Dystrophy Canada. In the past three years over $18,000 has been raised to improve the quality of life for people with neuromuscular disorders.

“Without the kindness of the Salmon Arm community, the firefighters would not be able to support such a worthwhile cause,” says Ryan Mackintosh. “Thank you for helping us ‘make muscles move.’”

In 2014 the Salmon Arm Fire Department was the proud recipient of the Up and Coming Fire Department award.

Fun fundraiser It’s a ‘Mostly Musical’ afternoon and everyone is invited.

T i m o t h y Weicker is organizing a fundraiser with the proceeds going toward a mission trip to Belize.

Along with 15 other King’s Christian students and four adults, Timothy is going to help upgrade a school washroom and give presentations to the youth in Belize. The fundraiser takes place at St. Joseph’s hall (90 - 1st St. S.E.), 2 p.m., Sunday, February 15. It will include the Shuswap Youth Choir as well as violin and piano music. Refreshments are provided and admission is by donation.

Supporting small and medium-sized businesses

The Minister of Finance, the Honourable Joe Oliver, recently announced individual proposals by Visa and MasterCard to reduce credit card fees. The Minister said “In total, the two commitments represent a reduction in credit card fees of approximately 10%.

These commitments represent a meaningful long-term reduction in costs for merchants that should ultimately result in lower prices for consumers.”

Canadians have told us that they wanted

better information on credit card charges, interest on unpaid balances and any other related costs to the credit card they hold.

Credit card companies need to charge fees to recover operational costs, but consumer advocates have voiced concerns that the charges were excessive and not always clearly defined. The credit card companies have worked with our Minister of Finance and adjusted charges and increased information data to their customers.

As we all know,

consumers using credit cards must do so in a responsible manner so that credit card companies do not need to increase their credit card fees in order to cover the bad debts of a few customers.

Our government has also worked with small and medium sized businesses to help export their services and products.

This initiative has been a great success.

A senior administrator for Economic Development Canada stated that never in the past has small and

by Colin Mayes medium sized businesses been included in Canada’s export initiatives, but this government has included them, and it has had a huge impact on the success of these types of businesses.

Our government has also lowered the small businesses tax rate, eliminated tariffs on hundreds of products, provided Employment Insurance (EI) premium credits to businesses that hire new

Beware of political fear-mongering than by a terrorist, yet when Harper introduced the legislation he claimed, “Jihadist terrorism is not a future possibility, it is a present reality. It seeks to harm us here in Canada, in our cities and in our neighbourhoods through horrific acts.”

Why are Canadians falling for this jingoistic lingo and why are they lining up to watch the right-wing propaganda movie, American Sniper?

What has happened to our reputation as a peace-loving country that cares about the disenfranchised?

Instead of aid, we send bombs to the Mideast and now our democracy is further at risk from this legislation that proposes to undermine our civil liberties and provide police powers to a secret organization that has little oversight by parliament.

Perhaps one of the greatest fears of the proposed legislation is that it provides the secret police the ability to take action against those who protest resource development here in Canada.

Letters to the Editor

Instead of succumbing to Prime Minister Harper’s obvious political fear-mongering, Canadians should fear and oppose his government’s secret police legislation.

Many mainstream media have published editorials condemning the new powers proposed for CSIS, yet opposition parties have been carefully side-stepping the issue so as to not appear soft on terrorism in advance of the upcoming federal election.

Supreme Court’s decision does notCommission? bode well It does

The Supreme Court of Canada’s decision to legalize assisted suicide is very troubling.

It allows assisted suicide for physical and psychological suffering where the condition causes intolerable suffering to the individual. This is very subjective, as it is based on what is intolerable to the individual. Depression is also common for people with significant health conditions. Assisted death for psychiatric conditions tripled in

the Netherlands in 2013 is cause for concern. In Belgium the mother of a doctor was euthanized without informing him because she was experiencing depression. Needless to say her son was outraged. Assisted suicide is an abandonment, people living with depression need support and care. To the elderly, people with disabilities and socially disadvantaged it sends a message that your life has no value.

It will only be a mat-

ter of time before the so-called safeguards are considered an unjust infringement, and will be challenged by those who want total autonomy over their own lives to choose the manner and time of their own death.

Will doctors who don’t want to cause the death of their patients be exempt? Will the Charter of Rights protect their moral conscience, or will they be hauled in front of the Human Rights

not bode well. Medical associations are calling physicians to abandon the Hippocratic Oath: Do No Harm!

The government has promised improved palliative care that will provide comfort for terminally ill and their families.

It is important that the government invoke the Notwithstanding clause, section 33 to override the power of nine unelected judges.

Letters to the Editor

More staff required in senior care homes

The neglect of our seniors in facilities is advocated by this government by allowing inadequate staffing levels. The Licensing Act Regulations do not specify client to staff ratios.

Privately-owned ‘for profit’ senior care homes take advantage of this grey area by keeping their staff at a minimum in the name of profit.

You can help our seniors in showing your support by signing a petition for staff increases in senior facilities. The petitions will be in the following locations: At Askews in Armstrong on Monday, Feb. 16, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

At Piccadilly Mall in Salmon Arm, on Monday, Feb. 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Kelowna – location is pending.

This petition will be presented in the Legislature this spring.

eing a Christian is a very joyful and liberating experience.

Joy is found as one experiences the peace of a day by day walk with Christ. Joy also comes as we anticipate a glorious future, in his very presence in heaven. We are never alone with him, as we have him to guide us each step of the way.

I am not very old, but I have experienced things that have been very difficult. My Dad was killed in a plane accident six and one half years ago. Without the peace and joy that I had found in Christ, I would have probably turned to aocohol or became bitter at God. He strengthened my faith during that time, and lead me to a greater zeal for Christ, and into a deeper relationship with a faithful church. I rejoice for all his wonderful mercies toward me.

I want to be more like him. Christ invites us into Matthew 11:28-30, to come to him with our sin, our sorrow, and our heavy load of guilt. He will be merciful and gracious to us if we seek to obey him, and he gives us the strength and will to do that.

Beyond believing in Christ’s death and suffering for us, and in his resurrection, we are called by him to not only our friends but also our enemies. Most people scoff at this and call "The Sermon on the Mount" Matthew 5, 6, 7, idealistic and impossible to live out, in our day.

If we are willing to surrender to the love of Christ to all men, and allow that love to also control our lives, we would find the world a different place indeed.

Happy y a D s ’ e n i t n e l Va Saturday, February 14

To Erin Fraser “Meats and Sweets”

To my husband Ken:

Winter mornings Snow like star bursts Smells of cedar burning bright; Warmth of fire And your smiles Spark these darkened days with light.

Springtime picnics On our sundeck Sounds of roosters down the lane; Plans of chickens, Goats and flowers Whet my heart like sweet June rain.

Summer evenings Stars like snowflakes Dot the deep, the blackened sky; Gentle crickets, Breezes, kisses Dot the silence, you and I… Autumn colours Graying temples Children growing, gardens grown; Simple searching Vast adventures Seasons of our life are sown.

You sure know how to cook a roast And bake a tasty cake.

And you know a meat or sweet or toast I rarely do well make.

But lately I’ve been baking potatoes So well (I can tell by your look).

My aim: yes, feed you and kiddos And make you crush on the cook.

Well, no talk of food quite shows What this poem means (as it stalls).

My love for you - overwhelmed and overflows Like May at Margaret Falls.

From Ken Fraser

drawing names from a box and exchanging gifts.

All of the stories surrounding St. Valentine - whether they are disputed or not - paint him as a sympathetic and heroic individual.

Valentine’s Day greetings have been popular from the Middle Ages onward, though they have been usually verbal in nature.

The oldest known written valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415

by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his

wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt.

Candy was among the earliest Valentine’s Day gifts and remains a popular gift today.

Some tales suggest that the type of bird a girl watches on Valentine’s Day predicts her future husband. A bluebird indicates a happy man, while a sparrow indicates a poor man.

In Medieval times, girls consumed unusual foods on Valentine’s Day in the belief it would make them dream of their future husbands.

Dental hygiene treatment provided

Contributed by The Smile People, dental hygiene inc.

This past Saturday, February 7, 2015, was the sixth annual participation of The Smile People, dental hygiene inc. in Gift from the Heart where independent dental hygiene practitioners across Canada open their doors to provide no-cost dental hygiene services to those who otherwise could not get access to this important part of health care.

In this clinic, six people were helped, receiving over $1100 worth of dental hygiene services, and two referrals to dentists.

Many thanks to volunteers Sheryl, Danielle, Gabrielle, Milagro and Fiogar for prep, front end, back end, and clean-up.

Of course this is a regular dental hygiene clinic–we also welcome millionaires!

If you just want to experience the difference an independent dental hygiene practitioner, free from

a dentist’s schedule, can make to your oral health, call us, or book online at www.thesmilepeople.ca.

This Saturday’s act was a drop in the bucket of the increasing number of people who are doing without, self-medicating, leaning on the medical system for prescriptions/antibiotics, the hospital, or worse.

If this is you, or someone you know: consider coming in for a consult for an Oral Health Account. If you can manage a monthly payment plan, we can help you find a way to oral health.

For seniors, the Smile People dental hygiene clinic offers the Senior Smile Campaign: once a month we offer one no-cost dental hygiene treatment to seniors referred through the Churches of Salmon Arm Used Goods Society (Churches’ Thrift Store) or the Shuswap Salvation Army.

Contact Churches or the Salvation Army directly for a referral.

$35,000 raised to kickstart trail projects

The Shuswap, British Columbia – The Shuswap showed up full force last Friday to raise $35,000 in support of Shuswap Trails at the 10th Annual Auction and Dance. “It was an overwhelming success,” said Winston Pain, chair of the Shuswap Trail Alliance. “The region has once again spoken loud and clear to continue working with partners to building, maintaining, and planning greenways and trails on the ground.”

A sold-out crowd of 475 people joined volunteers and partners to celebrate working together in support of trail projects throughout the Shuswap. “There was an amazing array of auction items, and Scarecrow once again showed why they are such a sought after band in our area,” said Winston, noting the dance floor stayed packed right to closing. “We are all incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make this such a successful fundraiser. You’ve set us up to meet our goals in 2015.”

A well-organized volunteer team of community leaders stitched the event together over the past six months modelling the Shuswap Trail Alliance penchant for partnerships. There was locally flavoured food skillfully prepared by the Blue Canoe Bakery Café team with contributions from Farmcrest Chicken and Happy Days Dairy.

The Barley Station and Larch Hills Winery provided beverages, and the Fire Hall 3 team served it up right in fine style. Front of house, auction support, and drive home was provided by the incredibly versatile Enactus Okanagan College team. Vehicles were provided by Braby’s Motors, Jacobson Ford, Hilltop Toyota, and Salmon Arm GM. Tickets and posters were printed by Lakeside Printing.

The lobby and auditorium included displays from Shuswap Tourism, fabric art from Victoria’s Artist’s House Bed and Breakfast, and live trees from Nico’s Nursery.

The dance floor was filled with the good energy of Scarecrow, Brian Coffey of BC Sound fine-tuned the speakers and worked his magic on the dials, and of course, the Shuswap’s own Patrick Ryley with EZ Rock anchored it all as MC and DJ for the evening.

Displays included the latest Nordic trail guide hot off the press from Shuswap Tourism, updates on all the work completed by regional partners in 2014, and updates on the new Build-a-Metreof-Trail campaign to support local stewardship projects. “It’s so important to acknowledge everything being accomplished is done by dedicated leaders, agencies, and organizations throughout the region,” said Winston. “The

At an average of $15 - $20/metre that equals over 2,500 metres of new trails for walking, cycling, equestrian, and winter nordic use. 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.

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 Wednesday, March 4th, 7:00 p.m. at Okanagan College, Salmon Arm.

Pulling together

Weeds that are labeled invasive can be placed into three categories of concern: (1) those that are determined detrimental to agricultural practices, (2) those that are deemed to deface the urban landscape of lawns and gardens and (3) weeds that have a negative impact on the ecology of natural habitats such as grasslands, meadows, and wetlands. It is this third category that is of most concern to naturalists. There has been extensive work to rid the protected grassland of Lac du Bois in Kamloops of the spotted knapweed, and several of the Shuswap Naturalists have participated in a work program to help eradicate ox-eye daisies from Mara Meadows. The ox-eye daisy, is removed to ensure that it will not endanger the livelihood of the fifteen species of orchids that occupy the meadows.

A major focus of naturalists in the Salmon Arm area is to monitor the health of the marshland of the Salmon Arm Bay. This marsh is recognized as the most productive wetland in the southern interior. It is the home of the largest nesting site in B.C. of the Western Grebe, and is a major stopover for shorebirds that use the mudflats to refuel and rest so they can continue their journey.

In April, the Shuswap Naturalist Club and members of SABNES will embark on a weed pulling project. We will be given support and advice from the Columbia Shuswap Invasive Species Organization. Woody Nightshade (pictured above) has been identified as a species that has a strong negative impact on the ecology of the marsh. This species could endanger the health of the marsh by chocking out species such as cattails, which play a crucial role in protecting the health of the marsh.

For information on the Shuswap Naturalists go online to www.shuswapnaturalists.org; or to find out more about locally invasive species, visit columbiashuswapinvasives. org.

DISPLAY AD DEADLINE Tuesday• 12 noon

This year, the BC SPCA is celebrating 120 years of serving and protecting B.C.’s most vulnerable animals. To mark this special anniversary the non-profit society today launched a year-long campaign, entitled Million Acts of Kindness, which invites all animal lovers to join together to carry out a million acts of kindness for companion, farm and wild animals in 2015.

“The purpose of the campaign is to celebrate the amazing work that is already being done to create more humane communities throughout B.C. and to encourage animal lovers in the province to help save even more animal lives,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. Each week throughout 2015, the millionacts. ca website will feature a new act of kindness for animals - participants can choose to do one act or challenge themselves to do more. “Every act makes an incredible difference for the animals,” says Chortyk. “Our goal is to inspire as many ‘kindness ambassadors’ as possible to help us reach one million acts.”

She notes that the weekly challenges will be something that everyone can easily do, regardless of age or whether or not they currently have a pet. Examples of the acts of kindness range from switching to cage-free eggs or sharing a shelter animal’s profile with friends

to emailing local MLAs to encourage their support for animal issues. The acts will be tallied and updated monthly on the millionacts.ca website and will include acts of kindness for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals carried out by the BC SPCA. “The BC SPCA was created in 1895 by a small group of caring individuals who had the courage to take a stand against animal cruelty and abuse.

Today the BC SPCA is one of the largest animal welfare organizations of its kind in North America,” says Chortyk.

“What better way to celebrate the vision of our founders than to carry on their legacy of compassion with this campaign?”

Sign up now at millionacts.ca and share the link with your family and friends. If one kind act can change the life of an animal forever, imagine what a million acts will do!

Loyola Louise Elliott 1945 - 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved sister Loyola Elliott (Bunz) at the age of 69 years young. Loyola was born in Humboldt, Saskatchewan on April 28, 1945 and passed away peacefully with family at her side on January 29, 2015 after a courageous battle against cancer. She left behind her husband of 50 years, Donn Elliott, son Larr (Tanya) and 2 young granddaughters, Hannah & Payton. She is survived by her 6 brothers & sisters, Bernice Heinzelman, Norman (Billie) Bunz, Della (Brian) Lewis, Lorne Bunz, Debbie Daniell, (Joe Shores), Terry (Barb) Bunz, many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. Loyola was pre-deceased by her parents, Margaret & Albert Bunz, brother Maurice & brother-in-law Elmer Heinzelman.

As a young girl growing up in Quesnel, BC, Loyola performed in many talent shows with her sister Della. She always had a passion for theatre, which led her to enroll in drama at UBC after a year at Notre Dame University. While attending UBC, she starred in many leading roles and in the summer months she toured throughout the province with Playhouse Theatre Summer Stock. She changed her career path and returned to UBC, this time to become an educator. Upon her graduation, she started her career teaching at Clayton & Anniedale Elementary schools in the Surrey area while living in Langley. Donn and Loyola then moved to the outskirts of Mission and started a goat farm and at one time were milking over 100 goats. Loyola continued her teaching career at McConnell Creek and Hatzic Prairie. In 1980 they decided to move to Grindrod, BC to be closer to family. Loyola taught at elementary schools in the Vernon, Armstrong and Salmon Arm areas throughout the rest of her teaching career. She organized many plays, choirs and Christmas concerts at many of the schools where she taught. Her career of 34 years came to a close when she retired from the position of Principal at Highland Park Elementary.

Loyola had an enormous passion for life and everything she did she embraced fully; from the students she nurtured, to her coworkers, and to her family and friends. Loyola had such a warm heart and reached out to everyone, whether they were family, friends or strangers. She hosted many Christmas Capers over the years and this event with good friends and family; good food, singing and skits became the highlight of the Christmas season for many of us.

Upon retirement Loyola immersed herself into activities that she always loved. She became an excellent quilter, and enjoyed her book clubs, winemaking, gardening, hosting many dinners and being a member of the Tapestry Choir. Of course her number one joy was her granddaughters whom she spent as much time with as she could.

Her positive attitude and determination to fight against her illness was an inspiration to us all. She will forever be remembered and held in our hearts.

A celebration of life will be held on February 21, 2015 at the Armstrong Bible Church at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers and in memory of Loyola, a donation can be made towards the bursary for a student pursuing a career in fine arts upon graduation from Pleasant Valley Senior Secondary. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.

TASHANNA MARIE DUCHARME 1978 – 2015 Bert and Debra are heart broken to announce the sudden passing of our beloved daughter Tashanna Marie Ducharme on February 2, 2015 in Vancouver. She was born June 10, 1978 in Fort Nelson. She was a loving sister to Jared, Danielle and Dagan (Mercedes), and a fun-loving aunty to Tabitha and Noah.

Tashanna is survived by a large loving family including maternal grandparents, Jim and Elly Read of Vernon, 19 aunts and uncles, hundreds of cousins and many, many friends.

Tashanna was a talented artist with a kind and generous spirit. Her paintings and costumes brought life to many events. She was “mother earth” leading the ‘save the rivers’, and painted all those stick salmon still seen regularly across Vancouver. Her many costumes and artistic creations will be treasured.

Tashanna led an adventurous life - Never a dull moment - She loved to travel and had seen many parts of the world. Born in a small town she had a big city heart. She was active in multiple causes and rallies in the lower mainland of BC, specifically those relating to the environment, First Nations, and the social determinants of health. She was an advocate to her core.

We remembered Tashanna on Thursday, February 12, 2:00 p.m. at the Elks Hall in Salmon Arm. It was a casual, colourful affair. Goodbye to our unique, wonderful and cherished CHAOS FAERIE. In lieu of flowers you may wish to donate to: The Kettle Society of Vancouver, In memory of Tashanna Ducharme, Donation directed to the Art Fund, www.thekettle.ca Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm, BC, (250) 833-1129.

In Langley, at Linden Lodge with Ann and Gordon Anderson, they formed a small choir. His fondest memory was “to sing for the Queen” when she visited Vancouver and walked by them and stopped to say a few words. He moved to Salmon Arm and lived with Judy and Ray Liebholz, making more friends, especially Rosie. He went to “Seniors” meetings, where he read to Lillian every day.

He moved to Bastion Place in 2009, where a short stay became a long one and he met wonderful caregivers: Kathy, who made him feel welcome; Bobbi, who took him for a ride in a car with no roof; Vanessa, who invented pleasant ways for him to take his medicine; Shelley and Jennifer, who looked after recreation and so much more; and Jeremy, who was with him from the beginning to the end.

Funeral Homes Maintaining consistency in providing our families with the finest personalized, dignified and professional service possible, while offering options to lessen unwarranted financial grief.

Arnold lived at home in Revelstoke and Vancouver, and then moved on to several different places of care.

Arnold moved to Joy and Cliff Eliason’s Family Care Home in Salmon Arm, where he lived with “family” and friends. He went on his only trip to Alberta with Joy and Cliff and saw “big mountains”. He enjoyed going to church on Sunday with Joy and meeting everyone.

Red and Curly

Red and Curly Swenson were at it again.

They had decided to head out to Zipperlip Lake, south of Keesterville, near Bendover junction, to try some ice fishing. They had been into the moonshine the night before, at Doc Barlow’s cabin a ways from town, and had been checked at a roadblock comin’ home. The police officer had noticed a couple buckets, ice fishing rods, a tent and heater on the back seat of their old Chev crew cab. Being a good ol’ farm boy who enjoyed hunting and fishing in the outdoors, he’d fished Zipperlip Lake a few times, and knew it had a two-trout limit with no retention of lake trout. Single barbless hook. He’d also spent time at game warden G.G. Lawson’s acreage, talking fishin’ and huntin’ over a cool one on the deck, while his kids rode the couple’s pet ponies.

Off shift, he texted ol’ G.G. about the brothers’ intentions, so they set up a plan. Meanwhile, next morning, the boys headed to the lake with buddies Bones McGee and Shorty Sherlock.

Arriving at the lake, they set out to a point a few yards from shore, augured some holes, set up the large ice hut, and at that point, Bones sprinkled oatmeal, canned corn kernels, and crushed eggshells down the holes, as Curl and Red fed worms and shrimp onto small treble hooks.

Shorty put a large flasher spoon on for jigging, and fresh trout and salmon roe down his hole.

He’d caught some whopper lakers off this spot before using this setup. It wasn’t long before most had their limit and more, including Shorty, with two large fat lakers.

Just as they were well into the jug of good ol’ moonshine, they heard a snowmobile in the distance. Looking out the flap, the boys thought it was an angler check down the lake. Shorty stuffed one laker into the top of his snowmobile suit, and the other down his hole, forgetting he had the extra line and hole behind the heater, with the line tied to a magnum (2 litre) pop bottle. Bones tried to kick his two extra trout down the holes, while Curly took off to ditch his two extra in a nearby snowbank. Shortly after this, the snowmobile stopped out front of the tent, and Slim Pickens, game warden from Keesterville, stepped through the opening. “Howdy boys,” said Slim. “Fishing been pretty good?”

He glanced over at Shorty, who was now twitching, jumping and giggling as the fish slid down now past his crotch. Then the laker popped out from the bottom of his suit, tail floppin’ onto the ice. Just then, the heater shot across the ice, knocked the can of corn over, and down the hole that big pop bottle went! Just as Slim bend down to grab the big laker from Shorty’s leg, the magnum pop bottle flew out of the hole,

by Hank Shelley hitting the top of the tent, the line, then hook embedding itself in Slim’s muskrat hat, as that big laker took off.

Meanwhile, the tall, slim, cagey ol’ warden G. G. Lawson had checked the snowbank, digging out the hidden trout. The boys were in deep doodoo, as Slim and ol’ G.G. wrote each a court appearance notice, and began to seize all the gear, rods, and fish. Bones was charged with chumming (using the corn, oatmeal, shells) to attract fish. Curly and Red charged with treble barbed hooks. It was back to wieners and beans for the boys, who’d had good intentions for a great fish fry!

Friend and former warden, Harold Berrala, avid Northern pike and lake trout ice fisher, lives 23 kilometres west of Yorkton, Saskatchewan, and spends a lot of time ice fishing for pike, lakers, and walleye on the many local lakes there. You’re allowed one dead set line, with no extra tip up or bobber. Harold used a magnum pop bottle with the line draped over a large branch. With a pike on one line, he watched as his pop bottle took off down the hole. Landing his pike onto the ice, he rushed over just as that pop bottle shot 12 feet into the air as a large laker got off!

For the many years I did ice angler compliance checks, I never came across pop bottles flying through the air, but magnum plastic bottles are used on Kootenay and Upper Arrow Lakes, trolled way behind the boat, with a short broom handle inserted into the top, along with a release clip and an angle cut in bottle, to jerk a trolled fly, ahead and back, as they empty and fill in the water.

Curly, Red, Bones, and Shorty’s first court appearance, is March 2nd in Keesterville!

Here and there in the Shuswap The annual Fish and Game Club banquet dinner and raffle coming up on February 14 is a reminder of what can be done to help enhance fish and wildlife. It’s the 47th annual fundraiser put on by a dedicated group of men and women who care about the outdoors and our children’s future. Also, a number of years ago, a crest was produced for the club, and worn proudly on a shirt or cap. The embroidered crest (left) can be purchased for $10, with the money going towards conservation projects. If any club members would like one, please contact David Hardy at 250-832-4123.

Resident hunter protest pays off

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press The B.C. government has adjusted its plan to give guide-outfitters and their non-resident clients a greater share of big-game hunting permits, after protests from resident hunters around the province.

When the plan was announced in December, the government calculated that it represented a shift of 168 animals in limited-entry hunt areas from resident hunters to guide outfitters. After listening to the protests, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced Friday that is being adjusted to a shift of about 60 animals to guide-outfitters.

The changes affect bull elk and either-sex elk permits on Vancouver Island, moose in the Thompson and Omineca regions, bison in the Peace region and bighorn sheep and grizzly bear in the Kootenays.

“I made slight revisions to the hunts for moose, bighorn sheep, grizzly bear, Roosevelt elk and bison to address the concerns I heard after the

decision was released,” Thomson said.

There are 34 limited-entry hunts in the province that are divided between resident hunters and guide outfitters, who typically guide clients from the U.S. and Europe. Resident hunters enter a regional lottery for the available opportunities.

Allocated hunting opportunities represent about eight per cent of the 45,700 big-game animals taken by hunters each year in B.C. In most areas, hunters can purchase a tag for each species that has an open season.

Thomson announced the policy change after more than 10 years of consultation with guide outfitters and the B.C. Wildlife Federation and local rod and gun clubs that represent resident hunters.

He defended the shift to assist guide outfitters as a trade-off that prevented them from using unoccupied guide territories around the province.

Those areas are now left to resident hunters.
