and good governance to the Citizens of Canada. Laws ought to reflect the human rights and freedoms as provided by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The role of the courts is to decipher the intent, purpose and application of laws. In this landmark decision, the SCC has seemingly delved into deciding the relevancy of our laws.

particularly the Section 7 rights to “life, liberty and security of the person.” As the 1993 SCC decision noted, Charter rights apply to all “members of a society based upon respect for the intrinsic value of human life and inherent dignity of every human being.”

Flip ahead to 2015.

Now the courts have said that Legislation withholding right to doctor assisted suicide is “cruel” which begs the question of “what about the sanctity of life?”

The Court has given Parliament 12 months to answer questions such as these. Unless the government wields the Notwithstanding Clause, existing laws will be void opening

by Colin Mayes the door for physician assisted death for a competent adult person who (1) “clearly consents to the termination of life”; and (2) “has a grievous and irremediable medical condition (including an illness, disease or disability) that causes enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual in the circumstances of his or her condition.”

This statement lacks certainty of both direction and finish. It encompasses: assisted suicide and euthanasia; terminal illness and psychological suffering; the able-bodied and the disabled- all contending with their own, or a physician’s, interpretation of “enduring

suffering that is intolerable.”

Just so you know, between 1991 and 2012, nine Private Member’s Bills were introduced in the House of Commons seeking to amend the Criminal Code to decriminalize assisted suicide or euthanasia.

Six of these bills were voted on and all failed to pass.

So what has changed? The Court seems to think things have changed and that Canadians no longer want to protect the “sanctity of life.”

Now, it is Parliament’s responsibility to determine if that is true or not.

governing the practice while also giving Parliament 12 months to amend our laws to accommodate or reject the decision.

I have already been contacted by numerous constituents voicing their opinion on physician assisted suicide. It is clear to me that the ongoing public discussion of this matter cuts to the heart of our deepest-held beliefs and values.

That said, I am reserving my “yea” or “nay” until after I am able to hear from more constituents and stakeholders but I will, however, share some of my thoughts on the SCC decision.

Beverlie Dietze (who is also a principal researcher in outdoor play) and Jane Lister, the College’s North Okanagan Regional Dean. The conference is also being supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, which funded recent research involving Dietze, and the Kelowna-based Outland Design L a n d s c a p e Architecture company.

“Recent research is really reinforcing how important outdoor play is to children’s development, especially at a time when so much of their activity is focused around electronic devices and digital interaction,” says Dietze.

“Having the chance to connect to nature is about a lot more than just the experience of the outdoors.

It impacts a whole range of behaviour and early childhood develop-

ment.”

Details of the conference speakers and sessions, as well as instructions on how to register can be found at www.okanagan. bc.ca/play.

The day-long, free conference features a number of experts and workshops. Two Nova Scotians will present the story of Nova Scotia’s Journey of Advancing Outdoor Play – Peter McCracken (who works with the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness) and Laura MacPherson (who works in the same department and also sits on the P a r t i c i p A C T I O N ’s National Active Play committee.)

Dr. Mariana Brussoni, an assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of British Columbia will examine the need for children to have play environments that

allow them to take a variety of risks in their outdoor play.

Dietze will present an overview of the current research in the area of outdoor children’s play and how the research should influence public policy, community development, and how it ties into the UN Conventions on the Rights of the Child.

Fiona Barton, the principal in Outland Design Landscape Architecture, will focus on how important it is for landscape architects to create nurturing outdoor spaces for children.

She’ll highlight some new outdoor play designs that incorporate natural materials into play space.

Dr. Diane Kashin, a registered early childhood educator and College professor, will present a session called Cultivating Children’s Identities Through Outdoor Play.

Most patients come into our office for chiropractic care seeking help with a wide variety of health challenges resulting from nervous system interference. Not surprisingly, mechanical low back pain is still one of the most common reasons adult patients seek out our services.

On a person’s first visit, a thorough patient history, examination, and digital x-rays are completed in order to diagnose the cause of their back pain. On their second visit I review the x-rays with the patient to show them the cause of their problems and then we discuss my best recommendations to correct any issues.

Chiropractic spinal adjustments are still the most effective way to release nerve pressure; however, we also have the option to utilize non-surgical spinal decompression

Spinal decompression familychiropractic COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

as a complementary therapy. If I determine decompression may benefit their condition they can begin a series of sessions on the table in our office.

Spinal decompression therapy utilizes a computerized traction table that I program depending on the individual’s condition.

The various conditions that decompression tables help with include disc bulges and herniations, degenerative disc disease, stenosis, spinal arthritis, and sciatica.

Other factors I consider before putting someone on the table are their age, weight, the condition of their spine, severity of symptoms, previous response to therapies, and length of time that

they have been having problems. Also, if they have had a CT or MRI scan performed, I will review it prior to starting care.

For decompression therapy, the patient lies on the table and is gently secured with an upper body and lower body harness. Once the lower harness is connected to the computerized traction unit, the machine completes a programmed cycle of gentle pulling and releasing of pressure.

The goal of this traction is to create a negative pressure inside the spinal discs in order to pull-in or reduce disc bulges and to widen the spaces between the spinal bones where the nerves exit.

I have been using our decompression table for the past eight years in Salmon Arm and I have safely helped countless patients suffering from various spine-related problems. If you have been experiencing spinal problems, or have been referred for back surgery, I suggest trying chiropractic care and spinal decompression prior to undergoing more invasive treatments.

If you have questions about whether decompression is right for you, call our office and one of our trained staff will be pleased to answer any questions and even set up a time to demonstrate how the table operates.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor who can be re a c h e d at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

TAPPEN CO-OP CELEBRATES 100TH ANNIVERSARY The Tappen Co-op was incorporated in 1915 as The Farmer’s Exchange Association of Tappen. First organized to give Tappen farmers a local place to purchase goods that were required for daily existence, the store continues to serve its neighbours, its community and its visitors.

The store is known for its colossal ice cream cones. All summer, tourists and locals line up for a cone. The ice cream bar has been moved from the front to the back, removing the congestion near the front door. Tables and chairs were added so ice cream lovers can enjoy their cone in air-conditioned comfort. No need to have ice cream dripping down your arm outside in the hot sun.

Tappen Co-op continues to make changes. It is now open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. in summer and 7 a,m, to 7 p.m. in winter. It has a post office, gas bar with diesel, coffee bar, groceries, magazines, lottery tickets and a washroom.

Membership in the co-op has benefits, one being that any savings generated by the co-op are returned to members in proportion to their purchases, either as a cash refund or in the form of share equity. The store has had a century to perfect its service and selection, and an anniversary brochure ends with: “Here’s to the next century!”

SENIOR COUPLE HAS TO FIND A NEW PLACE They are desperate. Cannot live in their home anymore.

Must sell it and move. If they had moved a few years ago, it would have been easier. Now both are old and tired and sick. They want to find an apartment with two bedrooms, and then put their house up for sale. The wife told her hairdresser her problems, and the hairdresser advised her to call me because I manage rentals.

I asked some questions. No, they have no family to help them. They want to find an apartment first, one with no stairs, then sell their home. I said that’s backwards.

They need to sell their home first, because it may take six months, then look for an apartment. They might have to stay in a hotel for a few months, one with an elevator. I asked her to call me when the home is sold.

PLEASE START A BUSINESS TO HELP SENIORS Do you have time on your hands? Lots of energy? Are you compassionate with seniors? Thousands of seniors read this column and hundreds are putting off moving from their home. Can you help them downsize, get rid of stuff, and run some errands? I suggest you write up a poster, have it printed or photocopied and deliver it to every home within a few kilometres of your place. Be sure to include your name and phone number.

State your charge on the poster. If you don’t, seniors may expect you to work as a favour. Most came through the Depression when neighbour helped neighbour. They are holding onto their money so they will be ready for the next depression. If you are just starting out in the business, I suggest charging $10 an hour, even if you sit and visit for an hour between jobs. Bring your lunch and take an unpaid lunch break.

Keep track of mileage and charge 45 to 55 cents per km running errands and driving the senior(s). Provide a weekly invoice and expect prompt payment. Let me know your experience so we can encourage others to work for seniors.

SEED SWAP IN ENDERBY TOMORROW Sat., March 7 will see the 21st Shuswap Seed Swap & Natural Living Fair. Follow the signs to the new school in Enderby. Admission is $3 per person. Hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The United Nations has declared 2015 as the International Year of Soil. The seed swap will have displays from local people showing how they improved their soil.

B.C.’s FAMILY DAY EARLIER THAN OTHERS Six Canadian provinces and the U.S. have a February statutory holiday on the third Monday, whereas B.C. has its holiday on the second Monday. The holiday here was welcomed when it was introduced in 2014, but since then it has been criticized. Most of North America is shut down on the third Monday in February while our people work. That includes major stock exchanges and most corporate offices.

I can see some advantages to having B.C.’s own Monday holiday. Airlines and buses are not booked solid as they are on a Canada-wide long weekend. Our people stay in B.C. rather than visiting cousins in Alberta who go to school on Monday. Being a week earlier, we are likely to have winter on ski hills on the long weekend, thus keeping tourists in B.C. ENDERBY’S BEAGLE MISS P IS A CELEBRITY Four-year-old Miss P, a beagle from Tashtin Kennels near Enderby, was named Best in Show at the 2015 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York City.

Miss P. has three owners: Eddie Dziuk, a longtime Beagle breeder/owner from Columbia, Missouri, and breeder Lori Crandlemire and daughter Kaitlyn from Enderby. www.tashtinkennel.com Miss P. was recognized as a winner when she was six months old. At the Westminster dog show she beat 2,711 dogs from 14 different countries and 48 states.

Ontario’s Will Alexander is one of Canada’s best dog handlers. In 2013 he took Miss P. to many Canadian dog shows where she won 15 best-in-shows, 98 hound groups and #8 all-breed. In 2014 Miss P. was entered in many dog shows in the U.S. where she won 20 best-in-shows as well as 91 hound groups. Lori Crandlemire says she is a national specialty winner and #9 all-breed winner.

Miss P. has a busy year ahead, attending events such as leading a parade in Enderby. Her competition days are over. Next she will be bred to produce more winners like herself. Tashtin Kennel’s website says: “We have been involved in the showing and breeding of purebred dogs for over twenty years. At Tashtin we continually strive to produce top quality dogs with emphasis on sound temperaments, health and structure.”

EMOTIONAL TRAUMA CAUSES DISEASE When we understand the complete course of a disease, from the point of emotional conflict to final healing, solutions become evident. It becomes possible to deal with the symptoms more effectively, more holistically and minimizing the impact of any necessary intervention.

The work of Dr. R.G. Hamer MD, who originated German New Medicine, identified many aspects of cancer, heart disease, chronic conditions, skin conditions, muscle disorders and more as being rooted in emotional trauma. He has been criticized for introducing a system of pseudo-medicine that purports to be able to cure cancer.

RUSSIA’S PUTIN WANTS ALL OF UKRAINE A year ago, Russia took over the Crimea peninsula, then Eastern Ukraine was over-run by Russian-backed rebels. Over 5,600 people were killed in the past year.

Putin made promises at two ceasefire deals arranged by German and French leaders, but did not keep them. Now he states that war with neighbouring Ukraine is “unlikely” but many in Ukraine and around the world do not believe him.

10TH AVE S.E. TO AUTO RD. IS QUIETER The city has put a sign on the top and bottom of Shoemaker Hill saying large trucks are not allowed. Each sign has a picture of a truck with a red stripe across it.

The steep, winding hill is closed all winter because it is unsafe when there is ice and snow. The usual roar of large trucks going uphill will not be there now, which must please the residents who live on both sides of the steep 10th Ave SE. going up to Auto Rd. I MAY WIN BIG AT UNITED KINGDOM LOTTERY I do not buy lottery tickets, but still I received an email from HumanEyeBank@smh.ca regarding my UK Government Lottery Winning.

Letters to the Editor Opposition fails to stop meters Hydro is changing electricity meters without notice.

On March 2, 2015 a big BC Hydro truck arrived at my house.

I asked the tech if he was going to install a smart meter, in spite of the posted sign, and the correspondence between myself and Hydro over the past three years.

He said “Yes, we were instructed to change the meter, and the file is not clear, but it states ‘advise customer of failed installation charge of $65.00’ “ I told him that Hydro had already put the $65 charge on my bill some months ago and Hydro withdrew it after I had complained that I was at home when they tried to change it last time and that I have a “digital” meter, not a smart meter, and that I am paying the penalty of $32.40 per month, the highest penalty in North America, for retaining the legacy meter. I asked him again:”Would you have changed out the meter if I was not here?” “Yes we would have.” They had lots of work orders with them to change out meters without the customers’ consent and knowledge. This ignores the agreement in place between myself and Hydro. This is intimidation and harassment by BC Hydro.

Perverse voting system results in unfair elections

This is further to Fair Vote Canada’s presentation entitled “Make 2015 the Last Unfair Election” and Mr. Schalm’s comments.

The Fair Vote speaker noted that since World War 1, only four elections have produced a true majority in Parliament. In the last election, 60 per cent of those who voted rejected the current government. Only 39.6 per cent chose them.

In a letter to the editor, Mr. Schalm stated that the “largest voting bloc in Canada is conservative”. He’s misguided. The largest bloc of eligible voters didn’t vote at all, last election. Fourty per cent stayed home. That means only 24 per cent favoured conservatives. They failed to win a majority of either actual or eligible voters. One small bloc is not a democratic

majority.

But our antiquated voting system gave the Conservative bloc a majority of seats in the House. Our voting system no longer represents voter preference in Parliament. It discourages voter participation. 85 per cent of OECD countries; 80 in the world, get better majority results with some form of proportional representation.

Voting practices evolve. The speaker noted that women only got the vote in 1918.

Aboriginals got it in 1960. “We can join the rest of the world. We can get proportional representation in 2015,” she said.

The presence of ‘Stop Harper - Go Vote’ bumper stickers distracted Mr. Schalm’s attention from the substance of the meeting.

That is unfortunate. An individual distributed

days that I’m literally scraping the dish for any remnants of food.

Then there is their fashion. For the most part my son dresses very conservatively.

So long as he has a pair of runners, jeans and a t-shirt he is good to go. However, I’ve never understood the latest fad of ball caps that have a flat bill.

Every time I see one, I want to bend the bill into a nice curve.

The other day he was walking around the house wearing a flat bill hat of his favorite basketball team. I couldn’t resist and made a comment about how he should bend the bill.

“Dad, I like it this way and besides it looks good!” he replied.

“Well, I’ve been dressing the same way since grade 4 and my fashion sense is timeless” I replied with a smile.

“Dad, do you

homeless and aboriginals to vote. The Act that cut funding for voter education.

Combined with our perverse voting sys-

tem, 2015 could be a very unfair election, with even lower voter turn out.

Teenage fashion As you may know, my oldest son is soon to be sixteen years old. I am not sure what causes me more stress; knowing he will be driving soon or knowing that his friends will be driving soon!

Having a teenager is quite the adventure.

With all the physical changes comes the need for lots of sleep.

So if you get a growl or a grunt directed your way in the morning this is considered a good thing. In fact before 8am this qualifies as a high level of communication in our house.

My food bill seems to be growing exponentially too and the days of having leftovers are all but gone.

In fact, I’m lucky to get a second helping at dinner and have found myself eating at ridiculous speeds just to have a chance at the last few scraps at dinner. There have been

those; not the sponsors.

It was an expression of free speech. The ‘ R e n e w i n g Democracy’ sponsors welcome progressive conservatives to the discussion of improving Canada’s ailing democracy. See www. renewingdemocracythroughcooperation.com.

I’m sure they would welcome constructive comments from Mr. Schalm.

The Conservative candidate twice declined early invitations to present his views.

The Bl oc Conservative has spoken loudly with its introduction of the Fair (or Unfair) Elections Act. That’s the Act that diminishes Election Canada’s ability to investigate irregularities like the Robo Calls and the ‘In & Out’ financing scandal. The Act that makes it more difficult for youth,

remember the ridiculously short and tight shorts you used to wear when you played basketball? Do you really want to bring those things back? Do you really want to show that much leg?” he exclaimed.

“Ummm… ya… I guess you’ve got a

mallarkey

by Daron Mayes point.” I sputtered.

“Maybe there are a few items that are best left in the 80s” I sheepishly admitted.

We had a good laugh which was better than a growl or grunt, but then again

Wireless worries can no longer be ignored

At the City Hall Jan. 29 public input meeting on microwave antennae location, it seemed that council members really heard the information presented by numerous citizens on the dangers of electromagnetic radiation from both wireless devices and infrastructures.

Wireless technology is so convenient, and so eagerly embraced by our fast-paced society that, at first, it seems counter-intuitive to criticize it.

It takes a lot of time and serious study to see past the glib assurances of the telecom industry about something so, well, intangible that seems to make our everyday lives tangibly so much easier.

But, see past the industry-funded studies (or see through the magic of invisibility) we must, in order to get a clear take on the very real nature— albeit both intangible and invisible— of the wireless grid. For we ignore it at our peril. The electrical emissions that now surround us in our public areas, in our work places, and (for many) even in our homes, are far from inconsequential. The volumes of studies documenting the health effects of EMR and the symptoms produced in living cells (by even relatively low levels of these non-thermal frequencies) are now too numerous to ignore.

North America is waking up, but we

are still far behind other countries.

Even Russia has allowable levels 100 to 500 times lower than ours. Cell towers must be located at least two kilometres away from residential areas.

Russia has this knowledge because they used it in the Cold War. They bombarded the U.S. Embassy and the terrible effects on the staff there at that time are documented. We must avoid being willfully blind to such potential effects.

We are both hopeful and resolute that City Council will agree to work with citizens to develop a safe antennae location policy for Salmon Arm. Shelley Corbin, Salmon Arm

Health care concerns raised An open letter to the CEO of Interior Health My wife, Kathleen, suffered a debilitating stroke in April of 2012, that left her invalid and quite confused, with initially no speech and limited swallowing ability. She was in hospital for over 100 days and was deemed palliative when I made the decision to bring her home, I thought, to die. She rallied medically while at home, which was coincident with introducing COQ10 in to her diet.

She has been in and out of care facilities but is now back in care, probably permanently.

My intimate involvement in the health care system and with providing care at home for Kate has been quite a learning/educational experience, to say the least.

First, is the recognition of the many caring and competent people who provide a range of services to those in need and the kindness and indeed compassion extended.

However, and as you are probably intimately aware, there are gaps in services that, in my view and experience, affect both the quality of care provided and thus the quality of life experienced in this most vulnerable population. Vulnerable because in so many instances they can not advocate their needs to others and so are dependent on others to ascertain and be sensitive to what their needs are.

For example, I have experienced on many occasions where staff have a number of people with eating and/or swallowing difficulties, and simply do not have the time to ensure that the resident receives sufficient nutrition and fluids. Indeed, speaking from direct experience in caring for Kate who has impaired swallowing ability, it can, at times, take 30 to 60 minutes to get a meal and fluids down, depending on her cognitive state and/ or level of agitation at the time.

As well, there are minimal programme and recreational activities that provide both mental and physical stimulation and, as a result, this vulnerable population is literally being ‘warehoused.’ I must add that I have

witnessed first-hand the positive responses to what little recreational programs there are when they are provided: residents smiling, laughing and enjoying those mental and physical activities.

I am not speaking here of rehabilitation but simply ‘quality of life’ in the last years of this vulnerable population.

And, yes, I know that these things cost money.

But let me close by offering a possible solution. What about cutting back on the number of meetings you and your supervisory staff go to?

Given the enormous number held, even a small reduction in those meetings could, conceivably, free up resources to be applied to the application of providing direct help such as recreational services for the noted vulnerable population, thus improving measurably the quality of their lives, and perhaps ending the ‘warehousing.’

It’s possible. But only if the ‘will’ and ‘determination’ is there, sufficient to overcome the bureaucratic inertia and indeed ‘comfort zone’ that exists in any large organization.

One last thing, I’m sure you are aware of the many clinical trials conducted over the decades using COQ10 to treat a variety of cardiovascular issues and disease and the impressive positive results. Given those results, the only question is, why isn’t our health care system using it more (as Europe does)? It would not only help many people with cardiovascular diseases but would save our health care system money, which could then be better spent in improving the quality of life of those in the system.

Although anecdotal, Kate’s improvement, namely lower blood pressure, normal heart rate, and no longer having congestive heart failure, is coincident with the introduction of COQ10 into her diet when I brought her home from hospital.

Sincerely and on behalf of Kathleen Norah Hagman, Robert Hagman, Enderby

In nature, every life form, from insects to elephants evolves, reproduces, dies, and the cycle of life continues. For our forests, trees grow at a specific rate, to maturity. When you suddenly hear a tree crash to the forest floor, it will rot, decay, provide home to voles, chipmunks, and squirrels to stash cones, add humus to the forest floor. It is also proven in studies, that trees such as elder, poplar birch, add nutrient, from leaf litter on the forest floor to conifer species, as well as in their root systems. On the coast, bears also add nutrients by leaving salmon carcasses along travel trails, providing a healthy growing forest. For the fishes of the sea, scientists are now advising, to let nature take its course, and restrict or slow down the volume of the smaller species, such as needlefish and anchovie, to increase volume of the larger species, such as salmon and larger bottom fish such

by Hank Shelley as halibut. With the rate of exploitation (harvest), many species will dwindle rapidly.

With the five species of salmon, Mother Nature also provides a window, when maturity/ spawning time arrives.

For example, over eons of time, the first to arrive on their natal stream to spawn, are chinook, in mid September. Their eggs are laid in clean gravels/cobble, to 18 inches deep. Next to arrive are sockeye, in October.

Eggs are laid in medium gravels/cobble, 12-14 inches deep.

Next, battling commercial, Native gill nets, seals, sea lions, sport anglers, and rapids on the Fraser river, come coho, from late October into mid November. Ice is forming on stream edges. The water is cold. They guddle into side channels, hop over beaver dams, and lay their eggs, in smaller pockets of fine gravel/ sand. As fishery officers, each fall, we walked/flew/drifted through 41 streams, doing annual counts, on the three dominant species migrating to the Shuswap rivers and streams. The spawning cycle for smaller pink salmon is three years, as is the coho, four years for chinook/ sockeye. But in their third year, the dominant cycle of the pink,

the further they come is to the Chase bridge, on the South Thompson river. For the chum or (Dog) salmon, they don’t want any part of those other high-class species of their kind, so they hang out in the lower reaches of the coastal streams. During winter, the eyed eggs lay dormant, taking in oxygen, developing, and then come spring; they begin wiggling up through the gravel, yoke sac providing nutrients. This then zips up, and as they emerge as alivins (fry) they are free swimmers. But once again Mother Nature comes into play, as spring arrives, and each species of salmon fry, emerge. Nutrients now come from the insects/ invertebrates/broken down particles of flesh from the parents, as they then migrate down streams/rivers, to their rearing bay or stream.

About April 2004, a contract for widening the Trans Canada highway, and providing an acceleration lane, just west of the highway bridge at Sicamous. A West Kootenay company got the contract. It was a wet spring, but, as two large cats ripped and bladed the slate slab rock, into piles to have trucks haul it away, little thought went into reducing the mud/silt flow along the

rock wall, downslope, through culverts under old Spallumcheen road and into the Sicamous channel, except a few bales of hay/landscape fabric placed in the ditch. While on patrol, on two occasions, I observed sediment entering the channel. A search warrant was obtained, charter warning given to the project supervisor, his daily record book seized, as well as a search of the office records.

Information was forwarded to Crown, but in order to convince the judge it was a salmon-bearing habitat, we had to provide evidence. A large small mesh purse seine net was used, by DFO habitat staff. A number of passes brought up one bright shiny 1/112 gram sockeye fry. That fry prevented heavy pollution into the channel when thousands of other fry were just starting to migrate through, and into Sicamous Bay. She was a $35,000 fry!

Here and There in The Shuswap Warm weather, and a declining snow pack, may be a sign of a very hot dry summer.

A harbinger of things to come! What’s in a name? There has always been the Detroit Red Wings in hockey.

The Washington Red Skins in football. But as the powers that be, under threat or protocol feel they have to appease certain groups, name change happens.

We have the Salish sea for the Straight of Georgia, and a historic mural in the Parliament building in Victoria covered up, and Point Park in Osoyoos could have a name change!

The park that juts out of Osoyoos Lake, and the prominent massive landmark bluff close by, called McIntyre Bluff may get a different name. Although the group that wants the name change has lived there for generations with historic traditions, and values, our ancestors settled the land improving life for all concerned!

McIntyre Bluff was named after Peter McIntyre, one of the Overlanders of 1862.

Earlier he had been an Indian fighter and guard on the Pony Express in the American West. Late in 1886, he received a Crown grant to the land beside this giant landmark! Too, Swedish bird lovers were accused of racism recently because of some bird names, such as “negro bird” and “gypsy bird”. Negro bird will now be called black bird, and I just have this feeling, that we need to take a stand with Granny’s Rednecks, and loggers to say, “Enough is enough”. Get out and enjoy our Shuswap.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Blues band makes long overdue return

It’s less than two weeks away until Powder Blues make what is strangely the group’s first appearance in Salmon Arm after 37 years of recording and touring. In case you missed it, Powder Blues headlines the Doin’ It Right dance and concert in aid of Roots and Blues on March 14.

This blues basted band, one of a handful of Canadian blues acts to have sold a million discs in their time, are also at the peak of their game, which is not that uncommon in the world of blues.

Think John Lee Hooker who was just hitting his stride when he hit the age of 55 or Muddy Waters who was rocking concert halls during his “elder statesmen” days.

Tom Lavin who has fronted Powder Blues since the band first started playing joints like Rohan’s Rockpile in the Kitslano neighborhood of Vancouver and the Spinning Wheel Cabaret in Vancouver’s Gastown in the late seventies, is as passionate and inspired as he’s ever been when it comes to performing before live audiences.

His voice remains ripe

north’snotes

by Peter North out their territory on the live scene from one end of the country to the other, with Powder Blues and D.O.A. also finding audiences stateside.

To go with a 1981 Juno Award, Powder Blues also won a coveted W.C. Handy Award in the U.S. as Best Foreign Band in 1981, while continuing to release fine albums. One of those discs, the double disc Live at Montreux shows the band at the top of their game, a tight, seasoned unit playing before an enthusiastic audience at the prestigious Swizz festival.

Like Asleep at the Wheel or Canada’s other blues institution, Downchild, Powder Blues has had a revolving door of players through the years, and a look at the names of the dozens of members of the Powder Blues alumni association points to the cream of the crop having played the tunes found on the

with authority as he rolls through the hits from the groups extensive discography and there are many to choose when you glance down the list. Doin’ It Right was the tune that first caught the ears of west coast disc jockeys and in short order the band was getting the same kind of attention coast to coast with songs like Boppin’ With The Blues and What’ve I Been Drinking.

As an independent act that self-financed its debut Uncut recording, the band sold some 25,000 albums in the lower mainland in a matter of months. With impressive sales figures like that it wasn’t long before RCA came knocking, bought the masters to Uncut and signed the group to a contract.

It was a fruitful time for independent acts in Vancouver as punk outfits like D.O.A. and new wave bands like Doug and the Slugs all carved

albums Thirsty Ears and Swingin’ The Blues.

Salmon Arm fans will hear Lavin surrounded by veteran blues, soul and R&B musicians like trumpet player Vince Mai, Bill Runge who alternates between bass and horns, and Hammond organ ace Mike Kalanj at the Shaw Arena on March 14.

Toss in guest sets from EZ Rocks Patrick Ryley who is also the guest emcee for the night and the cool rhythms of Kelowna’s Devon Coyote and the joint should be jumpin’ for a good cause, that cause being keeping the air in the Roots and Blues tires.

Tickets for Doin’ It Right are available at the Roots and Blues office at 250-833-4096.

It was news to me

Lakeshore News TraveLs To...

Lakeshore News travelled to Boston, MA., with seven-year-old Nolan Walters to see the Boston Bruins play at TD Gardens on Feb. 24. Nolan receives $10 for having his picture printed, and is entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2015. submitted photo

Province to target left-lane huggers Tom FleTcher Black Press

The left-lane-hugging road hog seems to be a species that particularly flourishes in B.C. It can often be seen trailing a line of vehicles on the highway, or cutting across lanes of traffic on right turns to get to its preferred habitat.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone says he’s spent time in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario, and this inappropriate love of the left lane seems unique to the Left Coast. So he’s looking at legal changes to make it easier to enforce the practice of keeping the left lane open for passing.

Stone told reporters Tuesday the issue came up often in last year’s rural speed limit review.

“One of the key things we heard from British Columbians all around the province was this frustration with left-lane hogs, people who tend to camp out in the left lane and seem to think that the left lane and right lane are there to serve the same purposes,” Stone said. “They’re not.”

One result of that review is a new road sign to

replace the “slower traffic keep right” and “keep right except to pass” wording used in B.C. “Keep right – let others pass” with a graphic is the new design and it seems to be having some educational effect, Stone said.

Accident studies have shown that frustrated drivers following too closely or passing on the right are risk factors. Premier Christy Clark said the problem should be dealt with, but she added a caution.

“I think we should go a little bit easy sometimes on the folks who are in the left hand lane going a little bit slow,” Clark said. “I think about my 75-year-old mother driving down the road, and sometimes she’s in the wrong lane, and it might be really frustrating for the people behind her. But we should try to be respectful and civil about that.”

Stone declined to give specifics about what legislative changes are coming. Police told the ministry last year the existing law isn’t clear and tickets can be overturned in court challenges.

Last week a young woman living in Scotland posted a picture online of a two-tone dress the mother of her engaged friend was planning to wear to the wedding. Under the close-up photo, her caption read: “guys please help me – is this dress white and gold, or blue and black? Me and my friends can’t agree and we are freaking the (bleep) out.”

I’m sure most of you know what happened next. The picture and question went viral to such an extent that millions of people, including celebrities, were responding on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites like Tumblr, where it was originally posted.

It was also all over the news with many media outlets offering a polling system to tally how many people viewed the dress as white and gold, like my husband and I did, or blue and black, like our children did. The results seemed evenly split for the most part, and that’s what I noticed when I posted the picture and question on my own Facebook page.

While most people seemed to be having a jolly good time weighing in with what they saw, baffled as to why we weren’t all seeing the identical colours, others were completely irritated.

“Nobody cares,” “It’s ugly,” “This isn’t news,” “This is stupid,” and “Enough already” were just some of the sentiments I read repeatedly.

Obviously the colour of the dress wasn’t the only thing people were completely divided on.

The reaction to this story becoming an internet sensation was clearly mixed. From my perspective, I saw it as an entertaining distraction from the horrifying murder and mayhem that typically dominates the news. I found it engaging because so many of us were asking the same questions. Why aren’t we all seeing the same thing? Who posted the original picture? How did it go viral so fast?

Why had this type of story not exploded in the news before? What was the actual colour of it in real life?

Those answers and more can easily be found online, but in case you don’t already know, the lowdown on the latter is that the dress is blue and black. Interesting. So what else have

I perceived so incorrectly?

No, this was not hard hitting news.

But, like most people, I welcome some enjoyment in my day and this fit in nicely. It also taught me some things I didn’t know.

I was intrigued to hear what my friend Susan thought, since she’s often complained about the negativity of traditional media. “If it bleeds it leads,” she’s groaned. “It’s so depressing.”

I thought she’d love the lighthearted dress debate. I was wrong - she was not impressed. She also disliked the extensive coverage a couple of escaped llamas in Arizona were getting at the same time.

“Don’t you find them interesting or amusing?” I asked.

“No,” she said. “But even if I did, llamas on the loose and hideous dresses don’t belong on the news.”

I had to disagree. The public displayed tremendous interest in both of these stories. They’re a good example of how people want the serious journalism that might leave them feeling sad or angry, but they’re more likely to pass along the happy stuff.

An analysis of the social share counts of over 100 million articles by Buzzsumo confirms this. The content discovery company presented the four most popular emotions invoked in viral stories as awe, laughter, amusement and joy, whereas sadness and anger were among the least popular emotions, adding up to only seven per cent.

I can’t say I’m entirely okay with these statistics. Sharing information about crucial issues that require our help need to be circulated as well.

Yet when we consider that the most read articles aren’t necessarily the most shared, and that we’re thoroughly inundated with tragic stories from all over the world, it’s easy to see why we’d be attracted to something positive.

There needs to be a healthy balance between all types of reports, both good and bad. But much like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, news is in the mind of the observer.

1940 - 2015

He was 71.

He was predeceased by his parents, Nick and Gladys Shellop, brother Edward and sister Linda Zolkavich.

He will be sadly missed by his daughter Stacey (Brian) Brook and their son Bradley, daughter Jenna and their dog Taffey - Grandpa’s furry friend, “the crumb catching buddy”, his son Scott (Mandy) Shellop, Scott’s daughter Shantel and Mandy’s son Ty, his first wife Barb Shellop, mother of Stacey and Scott as well as three sisters, Rose, Charlotte and Beverly.

Wilf was a Saskatchewan born farmer and was the eldest out of 6 children. He left the farm as soon as he could, and moved between Alberta and BC, living in Salmon Arm until his passing. He was an appliance man most of his life and owned Active Appliance in Calgary before moving to Salmon Arm and renamed the company Shuswap Appliance.

He thoroughly enjoyed his Timmies hot chocolate and apple fritters daily! He also enjoyed walking, often up to several 100 blocks weekly ..... and would often be found at his local bar in Langley (lived there for 12 years), and lately at Setters Pub in Salmon Arm. He was often lucky on his Keno tickets as well, and that always made him smile. He was an avid camper and fisherman and loved to show the ladies his two step dance moves. We always knew when he had a bit too much booze, as he would often call all us girls ‘love’.

Thanks to Dr. Azad, the vascular surgeon, nurses and OR staff as well as all ICU staff at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops. We thank Tammy and Vince Fischer for all their guidance. Thank you to all his family and friends, who helped us and continue to be caring through this sad time.

As requested by Wilf, there be no funeral, but we will be hosting a celebration of life gathering for family and friends sometime in July 2015, hosted by Stacey and Brian.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories of Wilf through his obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

He worked as editor for several different community newspapers. He “retired” from the Armed Forces in 1985 in Winnipeg and opened a retail grocery store and gas station. Grant and Jette sold that business in 1989 so that Grant could attend Simon Fraser University to obtain his teaching certificate. They moved to their current residence in the fall of 1991. Grant taught high school in Enderby, Sicamous and Salmon Arm for eleven years.

Loved and respected by many, Grant weaved his way into the fabric of the community, serving as a director of the Enderby & District Arts Council (chair for “Music by the River” summer concert series), president of the Enderby Garden Club, member of and publicist for the local RC Legion Branch #98, member of and publicist for the Grindrod Players theatre group, member of the Enderby Museum Society, chair for main-stage entertainment for annual Grindrod Music Festival and for annual Grindrod Days celebration, founder of RiverTalk and recognized as a “patron of the arts” by the Enderby Artists’ Initiative group showing his support as a member of their “core” committee. Grant was nominated as “Supporter of the Arts” in the 2013 Okanagan Arts Awards presented by the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan.

Grant is survived by his loving wife Jette, his son Neil (Sara), daughter Kristina and grandchildren, Ashley, Aiden, Kaylissa and Darienne and by his nephew, many nieces, cousins, friends, and others whose lives Grant touched.

A tea to honour Grant will be held at the Enderby Legion on Sunday, March 8 at 2:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Grant Russell Legacy Fund at Enderby & District Financial. This account has been set up to continue with community projects that were close to Grant’s heart.

Grant was born in Montreal on April 22, 1943 and it was there that he spent most of his childhood. He graduated from high school in 1959. He worked on various construction projects and, in his words, “failed first year university while learning to play Bridge.” Grant married Jette, his childhood sweetheart, in 1967 and they started their family. Grant graduated from Royal Military College in 1976 with first class honours in literature and history.

Johannes Cornelis (John) De Dood It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Johannes Cornelis (John) De Dood in Salmon Arm, BC, on Friday, February 27, 2015, at the age of 71. His loving family, to his last breath, surrounded Johan.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Seniors’ 5th Avenue Activity Centre on Wednesday, March 4, at 1:00 p.m. Tributes and memories will be shared by family and friends. A reception will follow allowing for a “toast” to Johan and sharing of stories.

Johan’s close friends were chosen to be Honourary Pall-bearers: Cam Henton, Dave Brien, Ole Cummings, Ralph Ellison and Ken Trabant.

Johan was born in Holland on May 2, 1943. Johan immigrated to Canada, and made a home in Salmon Arm in 1953 with his parents, brothers and sisters. After leaving high school, Johan embarked on a variety of work in several locations in the province. He returned to Salmon Arm to begin his long career in the lumber industry, and started up Lakeside Timber in 1979. Johan began to diversify his business interests to include real estate ventures, developments and multiple business holdings.

While his work kept him a busy man, Johan always had time for his family and friends.

Johan had a number of interests and hobbies that filled many days. He enjoyed raising birds, finding any excuse to use his John Deere tractor (not always good ones) and having a nice cold beer on a sunny day. Johan and Judy spent many afternoons together in Vernon. You could find Johan watching Hockey Night in Canada every Saturday without fail.

But more than all these things, he loved spending time with his wonderful grandkids.

Johan was predeceased by his parents, Johannes and Catrina, his brother Cor De Dood, his sisters Ann Reid and Sylvia De Dood, and his twin sister Willie Bustin.

Johan is survived by Judy, his loving wife of 40 years and his children, Tanya (Tom) Jorgensen, Loretta De Dood (Rick Waldman), both of Salmon Arm, Christina (Todd) Butchart of Edmonton, James De Dood of Salmon Arm, Cory (Crystal) De Dood of Williams Lake. Papa will be dearly missed by his grandchildren, Mikaela, Austin, Aiden, Celina, Ethan, J.C., Eli, Grayson, and Miles. He also leaves behind his brothers and sisters, John (Jeanette) De Dood, Jane Kerssens, Riek van Lieshout, Ria Kerssens, Tina Horsthuis, Johanna Coates, Nellie (John) Rasmussen, Peter De Dood and numerous nieces and nephews.

On line condolences may be sent to Johan’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.
