Your foundation

Everyone knows that when it comes time to purchase a home, one of the most important parts of the house inspection is the condition of the foundation. If there are foundation problems, everything else that is built on top of it will be affected. When it comes to your body and spinal health, it works much the same way. Your feet are the foundation of your entire body, and if they are not functioning properly or are poorly supported, they can cause all sorts of health problems. Too often people simply take for granted that their feet will function properly to simply get them from point A to point B. Some people only think about their feet when they can smell them, when in fact they are actually amazing structures. One quarter of all of the bones in the body are located in the feet; and they are all interconnected and supported by hundreds of muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves. So, considering how complex of structures they are, it is extremely important to look after them to ensure they last a lifetime.

Some basic foot care suggestions are to ensure that you wear properly-fitting shoes that support the shape of your foot. A person with very high arches requires different footwear than someone with feet flat as pancakes. Next, even if one wears the right shoe, they need to be monitored for excessive wear; once they lose their support, worn out shoes can create many foot problems.

Finally, if a person is experiencing foot problems, get a professional to assess them sooner rather than later. Just like anything, if they are neglected long enough, irreparable damage can occur.

In our office, many patients who are experiencing mechanical challenges with their feet are fitted with custom orthotics. Orthotics are a removable footbed that is custom-made to support the feet and designed to correct mechanical issues. Also, when the foot is supported properly with an orthotic, every pair of shoes you own can be turned into a custom-fit pair.

In addition to directly reducing stress on the feet, the other reason I recommend custom fit orthotics to my chiropractic patients is I frequently see spinal problems caused by foot problems. If the patient’s foundation is off, the spine will continue to have problems, and when the foundation is corrected, the spine invariably improves and people hold their adjustments better.

Small animals can be good pets

At the BC SPCA, March is Small Animal Month. While Shuswap Branch does not receive many of these; from time to time, rabbits, guinea pigs or domestic rats may arrive. And there is always the chance of a gerbil or hamster, too.

These small animals all have different behaviours and personalities which means that it is important for those considering such a small animal as a pet to do the research to see what they need for a good life!

Small doesn’t necessarily mean less work. To help potential small pet guardians prepare for such a family addition, the BC SPCA has prepared the Small Animal Care series which are available on the BC SPCA website. They provide advice on cage size, suitable bedding, opportunities for

exercise, and who needs a buddy.

As one example, the amount of space needed by a rabbit depends on its size and breed. A Netherland Dwarf rabbit needs space that is a minimum of three and a half feet long by two feet wide and two feet high. Bigger is better. She needs a hideaway spot, room for the food and water bowls, a litter box, and room for hopping.

The floor should be solid, since wire mesh can hurt their feet.

They need toys and things to chew. The rabbit page on the website also provides information on the correct food, rooming, handling, exercise and medical concerns.

The smaller animals can be good companions, and fascinating as well.

Easter Spring Fling fun at Piccadilly

The Easter Spring Fling will be held on Saturday April 4th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. featuring an Easter children’s activity day in the morning and an Easter Bonnet contest and spectacular spring fashion event in the afternoon. The morning will feature children’s activities including musical performances by ‘Bop’ the Bunny, an Easter story time, children’s arts & craft station and free pictures with the Easter bunny from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

At noon the Easter bunny will lead the children on an Easter egg hunt through the mall to collect small Easter treats from participating stores and at 12:30 p.m. there

will be an Easter bonnet contest where your can dress up in your own special bonnet and enter to win prizes.

Winners of the bonnet contest will be chosen in various age categories from preschoolers to seniors during the Easter Bonnet fashion show. You can find more information on the Easter bonnet contest at piccadillymall.com A mall-wide spring fashion show will follow at 1:00 p.m. where the merchants will provide the latest in spring fashions and accessories on the main stage. There will be lots of egg-citement at this family Easter event!

Sneak fruits, veggies into any recipe

Fruits and vegetables are the building blocks of a healthy diet. But many people do not eat the recommended number of servings of produce. That’s especially true among growing children, who can benefit greatly from the vitamins and nutrients fruits and vegetables provide.

Anyone who eats roughly 2,000 calories per day should strive to consume between two to three cups of vegetables and two cups of fruit per day. Produce helps to fight disease because it contains healthy antioxidants, fibre, minerals and vitamins. Eating four cups per day may seem difficult, but there are many ways to incorporate fruits and vegetables into everyday recipes.

• Substitute pureed fruit, like figs, pears and apples, for oil in recipes for cakes and cookies.

This will ensure the baked goods are moist but with a lot less fat.

• Add fresh berries or raisins to breakfast cereals and oatmeal.

• Add cauliflower or squash to boiled potatoes before mashing them to increase the nutritional punch and flavor of mashed potatoes.

• Blend fruits and vegetables to create smoothies for breakfast or lunch on the go.

• Bake hearty muffins or breads with sweet potato or carrots in the batter.

• Mix stewed tomatoes in with your broth soup base to make a vegetable or chicken soup even more nutritious.

• Opt for vegetables piled high atop a slice of pizza in lieu of meats or extra cheese.

• Divide your dinner plate into quadrants,

Feature Item!

PGX Vegan Protein

filling half of the plate with vegetables, one quarter with meat and the remainder with a whole grain.

• Replace lettuce on a sandwich or burger with a fresh leaf of spinach. While you’re dressing your sandwich, add a slice of tomato, too.

• Substitute fresh vegetables and fruit slices for chips when serving dips and salsas. Kale chips are growing in popularity.

• Give children a cup of sliced grapes with their lunches as a refreshing and healthy snack.

• Shred vegetables into a hearty “slaw” and top it with a vinaigrette or a typical mayonnaise-based dressing.

• Blend other vegetables into your pasta sauce.

• Use vegetables instead of pasta in traditional dishes. Layer eggplant slices to make a lasagna.

Or use a spiral slicer to slice zucchini or carrots when making homemade noodles.

• Fruit salad is often a refreshing snack or dessert. Having fruit already diced in a large bowl makes it more convenient to eat and possibly more enticing to children.

• Make a vegetable roll-up, filling pizza dough with broccoli or spinach and shredded cheese.

• Mix together an avocado, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 1/4 cup honey to create a healthy alternative to chocolate pudding.

• Use pureed vegetables to thicken cheese sauce for macaroni and cheese recipes.

• Shred vegetables and add them to beaten eggs for omelets or scrambles.

MY INTEREST IN UNIQUE TRAVEL TOOK ME TO FLYING LESSONS A solar-powered airplane is attempting to fly around the earth by hopping from one stop, one continent, to the next.

I follow it on www.solarimpulse.com and watch videos of take-offs and landings. Technical staff is on hand at each one. It is so exciting! Two pilots take turns flying. The seat reclines, and 20-minute naps are allowed. The seat has a built-in toilet.

I was a nurse at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver in the latter 60s when the first American spacecraft carrying an astronaut was in orbit around the earth. It too was exciting.

One time I got into the hospital elevator and said to the other rider, a doctor to whom young nurses were not to talk, “It’s making the second trip around the earth!” He was not impressed.

In between my excitement over the first spacecraft circling the earth and the solar-powered airplane’s journey, I took flight training at the Vernon airport in 1994. After progressing to a solo flight to Sicamous and back in a Cessna, I took a road trip to visit my dad in Watson, Saskatchewan. I realized I loved car travel far better than flying an airplane.

WHO REMEMBERS THE LAKEWALKERS? In a previous column I asked if anyone remembered the two boys from Ontario who took my challenge in the late 70s and walked around Shuswap Lake to measure the distance. They found it was 400 miles, not 1,000.

Bob Salter of Eagle Bay called to say he remembers them well. He and Dorothy owned Wild Rose Bay Marina and Campground at the time. When they arrived, the boys were tired, beat up and hungry. They were given the smallest of Bob & Dorothy’s 11 cabins and they slept and cooked there for a few days. The Salters had a daughter their age so she spent quite a lot of time with them. The boys had many experiences from their trek, which included meeting bears.

Dan Goodale remembers the huge double-yolk breakfast Dorothy made for them. Before the boys left to continue their 27-day journey back to Salmon Arm, the Salters gave them work socks, chocolate bars and energy food.

WHEN WAS THE 11TH ALL-INDIAN HOCKEY TOURNAMENT HELD IN SALMON ARM? In a dusty box, I found an interesting story in my handwriting that was written before I started this newspaper in 1975. It did not have a year, so I asked if someone could help. Donna Williams called to say her dad Lester Williams started the all-Indian hockey tournament, then his brother Charlie took over. Donna remembers when Les used to tell her sister Dorry that he started it when she was born. That would make the 11th tournament in 1971 or 72.

I will include the story in the April 3rd column. Read what happened when it was discovered that the Fort St. James team had a white goalie. Read how the Williams Lake team played three games in a row at the end and tied with Westside Totems from Vernon for first place. They shared the Montebello Hotel trophy and split the prize money: $100 for first and $75 for second.

WILL DOCTOR’S DAUGHTER BE LIKE MOM? On the way to driving her four-year-old daughter to preschool, the physician noticed she had left her stetho-

scope on the car seat. Her little girl picked it up and began playing with it. “Be still, my heart,” thought the doctor, “my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps!”

Then the child spoke into the instrument: “Welcome to McDonald’s. May I take your order?”

SOON DOCTORS WILL BE TRAINED IN VERNON Within a year, 42 student doctors will be training at Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s Polson Tower. Two student doctors are there now, and gave tours after the official opening.

Construction and equipment for UBC’s Southern Medical Program space on the fifth floor totalled approximately $983,000 and was funded by the Ministry of Health. Training in Vernon will help educate, recruit and retain students in the Okanagan.

NON-BROWNING APPLES NOW AMERICAN OWNED Okanagan Specialty Fruits Inc., the Summerland company that created the non-browning apple, has been sold to an American company for $41 million. Founder Neal Carter and all employees are keeping their jobs.

CTV News reported that several groups in Canada have spoken against the non-browning apples. They do not want cross-pollination of conventional or organic apple trees with genetically modified trees. But Okanagan Specialty says the technology will do the opposite, making apples more popular for use in salads, snacks, and lunch boxes.

B.C.’S MINIMUM WAGE TO GO UP If you are making minimum wage, your hourly wage is going up Sept. 15, by 20 cents. The B.C. Government announced that effective Sept. 15, 2015, the general minimum hourly wage will increase from $10.25 to $10.45, and the liquor server wage will go up from $9.00 to $9.20 per hour. Minimum wage will be increased annually based on consumer price index for B.C. MANY LOW INCOME SENIORS ARE NOT AWARE OF ELIGIBLE DISCOUNTS A survey found that 60 per cent of seniors living on $30,000 or less annual income didn’t know they are eligible for discounts on Medical Services Plan premiums.

For income less than $22,000, the entire $864 cost of individual MSP premium is waived. Also available is a monthly rent subsidy called Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER), grants for disability modifications called Home Adaptations for Independence, drug cost assistance called Fair Pharmacare, property tax deferment, and the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement program.

You don’t get these benefits unless you apply and show that your income qualifies. Ask the person who does your income tax for help. Have a friend or relative search for application forms on the government website. Many forms are filled online.

TESTING OF DRIVERS OVER AGE 80 MAY BE LOWERED TO 75, AS IN ALBERTA A Victoria driving school owner says cognitive testing of drivers over 80 should be taken away from the private sector and given to ICBC. He says it is discriminatory.

Seniors’ ability to remember several items on a list has nothing to do with their ability to drive. The issue has surfaced in Alberta where testing agency DriveABLE is based. Recently, Alberta seniors took their protest

against mandatory testing for 75-year-old drivers to the legislature, but the province’s transportation minister will not change the rules. Alberta’s roads must be kept safe.

SLOW DRIVERS ARE TICKETED IF THEY HOG THE LEFT LANE ON A FREEWAY It’s frustrating when a slow driver stays in the left lane, which is for passing, and doesn’t allow others to pass. If you are a slow driver and you come to a freeway, please drive in the right lane. Those of us who like to drive fast will thank you. The fine for a slow vehicle not on the right is $109 and three points, according to ICBC’s website.

TREACHEROUS ROAD IS QUIETER The city has put a sign on the top and bottom of Shoemaker Hill, between 10th Ave. and Auto Rd SE, saying no large trucks allowed. Each 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. Now that the road is open, the usual roar of trucks going uphill is not as loud as in previous years.

AN APPRAISER EXPANDED HER SERVICES, NOW PREPARES SENIORS FOR A MOVE Marie-Claire Lord came to my house some years ago, appraised my wedding dishes and collectibles, and paid cash for them. She had an appraisal business in Enderby at the time. Last week she replied to my request for people to start a business to help seniors. She wrote: “I expanded my appraisal service to include helping seniors or family members clean up personal properties and home. I pack the household items, advise clients what is valuable so that they do not give these items away, and help them sell or dispose of their personal property that is no longer needed. I get houses ready for resale or possession or real estate services.” http://marieclairesappraisals.com, mclord@telus.net, or phone Marie-Claire at 250-832-5826.

ANY WOMAN CAN ATTEND MEETINGS OF SHUSWAP WOMEN IN BUSINESS I attended a monthly lunch meeting of women in business on Monday. This was the fourth women in business group to be formed in Salmon Arm. The first three failed many years ago because women just couldn’t get away from work, and didn’t have time to be on the executive.

We had tried meetings after work but many had to rush home for the kids and to prepare supper.

I like the way I reserved my attendance before the deadline. On www.shuswapwomeninbusiness.com, as a guest I paid $23 for lunch at Yans Chinese Restaurant.

Members paid $20. I could have paid $8 for just the meeting and had coffee, tea and water. The website takes Pay Pal, MasterCard and Visa. I could have reserved a place by email and paid by cheque or cash.

If you want to meet 12 to 15 dynamic women, hear a guest speaker on a current issue, hear short talks, and make new friends who can be your mentors if you have questions, attend the meetings. You do not have to be in business. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831 The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of Sally Scales and do not necessarily represent those of Lakeshore News and its staff.

Bridges, blacktop in B.C. transportation plan

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press A 50 per cent increase in bridge rehabilitation and 1,000 km of highway repaving each year are included in a 10-year transportation plan released Tuesday by B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone.

The plan also includes $24 million over three years to pay a provincial share of community airport improvements and an $18 million fund for bike lanes and cycling trails.

A province-wide trucking strategy is also included in the plan, which restates many projects previously announced by the government. They include work on a replacement for the Massey tunnel under the Fraser River in South Delta, planning for a second bridge across Okanagan Lake at Kelowna, and con-

version of BC Ferries vessels to use liquefied natural gas.

Overall the plan includes $800 million over three years to upgrade existing infrastructure and nearly $1 billion toward expansion of major highways.

With an eye to an aging as well as growing population, disabled access projects are to include accessible washrooms and curbs at highway rest areas and wheelchair accessible taxis in communities around B.C. NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena called the 10-year plan “insulting to the people of B.C.,” with only three years of funding promised and most of the improvements already announced.

“There are lots of vague promises that

have been made for many years,” Trevena said. “For instance the four-laning of the Trans-Canada to the Alberta border, finishing off the Cariboo Connector, finishing off bridges.

“If you’re investing in bridges, let’s get some strategic analysis of our bridges, and where we need them and how we’re going to pay for them.”

With ballots going out to Metro Vancouver voters for a plebiscite on funding new transportation improvements through a regional 0.5% sales tax, the provincial plan focuses heavily on rural areas. It includes an increase to $270 million over three years to upgrade provincial side roads and $60 million for resource roads in the northeast B.C. gas patch.

Four-laning projects in planning, design phase

SALMON ARM – As part of B.C. on the Move, the Government of B.C.’s new 10-year transportation plan, design work and planning is underway for three more four-laning projects on Highway 1, including Hoffman’s Bluff to Jade Mountain, Donald East, and Salmon Arm West.

Construction is continuing on three four-laning projects: Malakwa Bridge, Monte Creek to Pritchard, and Pritchard to Hoffman’s Bluff. These projects are part of government’s commitment to continue to advance four-laning projects between Kamloops and Golden.

This project falls under Improving Highway Capacity and Reliability, one of 12 key priorities under B.C. on the Move.

“The Trans-Canada Highway is British Columbia’s gateway to the rest of Canada, but it’s also vital for local residents wanting to travel between communities,” said

Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. “With these four-laning projects we are making the highway a safer and more efficient route for everyone who uses it.”

B.C. on the Move is government’s new 10-year plan for the improvement of the province’s transportation network. It provides a comprehensive roadmap for transportation investments

and strategic policy actions over the next decade. The actions prioritized in B.C. on the Move will enhance safety, grow the economy, maintain and replace aging infrastructure, and support trade for B.C.’s expanding resource sectors through Canada’s Asia-Pacific Gateway.

Over the next three years, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will invest about $2.5 billion to improve British Columbia’s transportation network.

B.C. on the Move was developed incorporating feedback received from a wide-ranging public engagement, during which more than 12,500 survey responses were received from British Columbians across the province, and the BC on the Move website was visited more than 44,000 times.

BC Training Education & Savings Grant

Two years ago Christy Clark announced that the BC government would give children in BC a one-time $1,200 education grant if they have a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). So what happened to the BC Training Education & Savings Grant (BCTESG)? Some of you are asking “Is the grant gone?” “Did I miss it?”

Well the answer to your questions is “No” and “No.” In fact, for those that qualify you will finally be able to access the grant later this summer; August 1st to be exact. So what exactly is the BCTESG and how do you qualify? We thought we’d remind you as it’s been a long time since the government announced this “new” grant.

There are three main criteria to qualify for the grant. The child must have an RESP set up before they apply for the grant, the child must be

a resident of BC, and finally, the child must be born on or after January 1, 2007. So if you are like me and your children were born in 2006 and earlier then you are out of luck!

You also have to apply for the grant when the child is between the ages of six and eight years of age. Once they turn nine it is too late.

How do you apply? The answer is simple–contact the financial institution you have your RESP through after August 1st of this year. As the BCTESG was announced in 2013, the grant is for anyone born on or after January 1, 2007. So because of the two year delay, children that turned 6 years of age in 2013 and 2014 or those that will be turning 6 in 2015 still qualify and have until August 14, 2018 or the day before they turn 9 to

mallarkey

by Daron Mayes apply (whichever is later).

Unlike the Canada Education Savings Grant that the federal government provides, the BCTESG is not contingent on you making any contributions yourself. So all you have to do is set up an RESP and when the child turns six you can apply to receive $1,200 of “free” money from the government! Did I say free? I meant a return of some of your hard-working tax dollars.

For more details on how the grant works, simply go to the BC government website and search for the BC Training & Education Savings Grant, or contact your financial institution.

Fun fundraising event The Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre will be holding a fundraising event featuring international award-winning tribute artist Adam Fitzpatrick as Elvis.

It all takes place at the Shuswap Lake Estates Community Centre at 2404 Centennial Drive, Blind Bay at 7 p.m. on April 17. The cost of $25 includes refreshments. Tickets are available in Blind Bay (It’s All Good Bulk and Health Foods Plus; Steamers, Duffer’s Den, and Shuswap Lake Estates office), and in Salmon Arm (Wearabouts and Touch ‘a Texas), or Sorrento (Munro’s Pharmacy, and Lighthouse Market), and in Tappen at the Tappen Co-op.

Linda, who has been reading tea leaves for 12 years, will also do parties, group readings for girls’ night out or birthdays.

Women on Wednesdays For most Salmon Armenians, WOW means ‘Wednesday on the Wharf’ but there is a new casual network with the same acronym: ‘Women on Wednesdays.’

“WOW was a clever acronym coined by Heather Bodnarchuk of the Prestige Hotel & Resort,” says organizer Melanie Hart.

They held their first coffee get-together this past Wednesday at Cafe Tasse in the Prestige Hotel.

“This is a casual networking opportunity for career women to engage with each other in one place without formal group structures, memberships and meetings. This is purely a networking power hour that enables professional women to build connections and be inspired all in one place and in a time-efficient way. So practice your elevator speech (15 second business pitch) and bring your business cards for these no-host gatherings.

Final films in series

Okanagan College’s “(Contemporary) Classics at the Classics” not-for-profit film series continues next Monday night (March 23rd) at the historic Salmar Classic at 5:00 p.m. with Paul Thomas Anderson’s brilliant There Will Be Blood. This strange, sprawling, visually-stunning film is set against the backdrop of the infancy of 20th Century capitalism and of American religion on the oilfields of California.

Infused with great tension and an unsettling intensity, Anderson’s biblical epic follows the uneasy relationship between misanthropic oilman Daniel Plainview (an Oscar-winning turn

by Daniel Day Lewis) and Eli Sunday (Paul Dano) a preacher and faith healer. At once character study and allegory, Anderson’s masterpiece is both a visceral film-going experience and a forensic dissection of the dark origins of the American dream, a dream from which we have not yet awoken. Based on the 1927 novel Oil by Upton Sinclair, and showcasing an uneasy making score by Radiohead’s Johnny Greenwood and Academy Award-winning, monochromatic cinematography by Robert Elswit, this is a movie that absolutely needs to be experienced on the big screen.

As ever, the film will be introduced by Okanagan College film professor Dr. Tim Walters. General admission tickets are $5, and free for students. The series concludes on Monday March 30th with a closing night double bill of Wes Anderson’s The Fantastic Mr. Fox and Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life. Admission to both of these films is free with a donation of non-perishable food items for the Second Harvest Food Bank.

Help support MS walk

By Gloria Lynd There are a great number of people in our community living with MS, and it is once again time to start thinking about supporting the annual MS Walk. These walks are held in Kelowna and Kamloops in our region. The walk in Kelowna will be held on May 3rd. Team Gloria will be participating again for their ninth year.

Each year leading up to the Walk, Apple Auto Glass holds the annual Rock Chip Repair by Donation fundraiser. The fundraiser this year will be held on March 28. Over the past eight years they have raised over $11,000, the total of which has been donated to the MS Walk in Kelowna. The money is earmarked for research in the hope that the cause and cure of this devastating disease will soon be discovered.

It is a great opportunity to have fun and get some exercise at the same time.

We would welcome anyone who would like to join our team and help this worthwhile cause.

TransCanada Highway: The Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce has had one meeting and various separate phone calls with Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) project managers regarding the pending re-development of the TransCanada Highway (TCH) at the west end of Salmon Arm. In all conversations we have impressed upon MOTI representatives that the Chamber of Commerce and the community of Salmon Arm have a significant vested interest in the TCH and we look to MOTI to ensure our business and community members are afforded the opportunity to provide input and influence on the proposed changes.

We have been assured

by MOTI reps that public consultations are part of the process and we will be provided this opportunity as soon as development plans have reached the appropriate stage for public presentation and discus-

sion. The date(s) for these public meetings are still a moving target however we will continue to dialogue with MOTI in the interim.

Upcoming Chamber Events:

20 reportable incidents for assisted care facilities

The purpose of this letter is to empower seniors and their families with knowledge that is crucial to have when standing up for their right to be protected from abuse or neglect in a senior care facility.

It will enable them to demand a better quality of care afforded them by Bill 17, the “Residents’ Bill of Rights.”

Residential care facilities are governed under two different licensing acts: the “Hospital Act” and the “Community Care and Assisted Living Act” (CCALA).

Every person in residential care, private or government-owned, subsidized or not, under the Hospital Act or the CCALA, are to be protected under the “Residents’ Bill of Rights.” Inform the facility management that you are aware of this.

There is a list of “20 Reportable Incidents” for those living under the CCALA. Neglect, falling, and choking are three of them. Section 77 of the Act requires the facility to report any of these incidents to the resident’s representative, their nurse, and the regional medical health officer immediately. An incident report must then be sent to the Community Care Licensing Office immediately. A confidential complaint can be made by a resident or their representative to the Patient Care Quality Office, which has 40 days to report back to you with the results. A confidential complaint can also be made by anyone, including employees, to the Community Care Licensing Office.

When making a complaint to anyone, always get your case worker’s name and your case file number. This will be a strong indicator that you are expecting a result and increase your chance of getting one. Under the “Adult Guardianship Act,” an employee cannot be fired or penalized in any way. You can also report abuse or neglect to the Ombudsman at 1-800-567-3247 or the Senior Health Care Support Line at 1-877-952-3181.

I welcome a letter from anyone who wishes to share their experiences with a senior facility. Any letters I receive will be used as evidence against the government. Write Judy Galley at 2433 Sherry Road, Sorrento, BC VOE 2W1.

Do not support Bill C-51

I do not support any aspect of Bill C-51. Our Charter of Rights should never, ever be changed!

And trying to push it through without the public’s feedback is shameful. Privacy and Freedom are things that should not be given away, ever. I do not want to live in a country that functions against those principles.

I encourage Canadians to learn more about how we can work together to stop Secret Police Bill C-51 at StopC51.ca.

Have pride in our city

There is a trail that goes down a hill between Old Auto Road and 10th St SE. Each side of this trail is littered with bags of garbage. It is terrible to see our environment polluted like that. I would think that people would have more pride in our city than to throw their garbage around. It is disgusting. How about cleaning up the mess you made over the past year?

It had been a 5 a.m. drive from Salmon Arm, but now as the Cessna 180 with floats crossed over the firclad ridge and the pilot banked, Curly and Larry caught their first glimpse of the lake. It sparkled like a jewel in the mid-day sun. The island where they were to set up camp had a couple of dead snags, was perfect for firewood, and had an open clearing by the shore.

Soon the floats touched gravel and as the engine was shut off they off-loaded their supplies and belly boats.

This was to be the fishin’ trip of a lifetime.

The planning had taken a month and each had taken a week off their jobs. The forest ranger was Curly’s brother and there were flights planned to chart pine beetle infestations. The pilot was flying out of Kamloops anyway, and would be picking up two forest technicians near Birch Lake. It was

arranged that the two fishermen could go along on the Q.T., possibly paying some gas money. The pilot would land and pick up the guys in two days. He taxied to the little bay at the far end, gunned the motor and was up and over the trees in seconds, leaving a beautiful silence across the landscape.

After making camp and cutting and stacking a good supply of wood, it was time to test the waters. There was a hatch of travelling sedge skitting about. You could hear the big rainbows smacking the water off the reedy point. After they got their waders and flippers on, the anglers paddled out.

Several casts later they were promptly into native rainbows to two pounds with a good scrap. Lo and behold though, it didn’t take long for a loon to move in and go for their catches as the trout danced on the water, forcing the guys to go to shore for a bag of pebbles. Pretty soon a mallard mom and babies were following them about, mooching.

Except for a couple of trout for supper, they released the rest, enthralled at the day’s fishing. Over an open fire the guys enjoyed a meal of pan-fired trout rolled in flour, butter and seasoning, topped off with homemade bread and butter and a can of chilled beer from the lake.

Then it was time to hit the sack.

Now Curly was awakened by something chewing on his hair. Up on one elbow,

he saw it was mice trying to build a nest.

There were mice everywhere! Waking Larry, Curly and he watched the little critters scurrying about. Just then a black bear wandered into camp shaking the water from his coat. He was checking out their cache. After the guys chased him from camp, they set about getting back to sleep. Then a cow moose and her calf startled them as she walked through camp and a pack of coyotes began to howl at the

end of the lake.

After all this they decided to build the fire and get the coffee on. It was just breaking light.

There was the odd rise out on the water. It was another great day of fishing and solitude, except for Ollie the osprey. Curly had to fend him off, and then he grabbed a trout off Larry’s line and took it to a big fir tree.

That evening around the campfire they drew up a plan. They’d soak a bit of rum in bread and scatter it about before hitting the sack.

In the dark and dying embers of the fire out came the mice. In what turned into a comedy of errors, mice swam in circles in the water, bumped into trees, and banged into the cooler.

At dawn, the whiskey jacks grabbed the bread, then joined the

fun, diving for branches and doing tail stands in the treetops. As the plane landed, then taxied to shore the guys completed a little rock cairn declaring the place “Mouse Island” then staggered, blearyeyed, to their seats, as the pilot loaded gear.

Curly’s wife called Larry’s the following morning and both expressed concern, say-

ing each husband had yelled, flailed his arms and hollered in his sleep–something about being attacked by bears, mice, birds, and bats, and “don’t go to Mouse Island fishin’ whatever you do!”

Here and there in the Shuswap Even poachers should beware from now on, as someone may be watching you!

Examples from just our area were when two members of the Salmon Arm Fish and Game Club, under permit to take the animal, were dressing out a cow moose that had been hit by a vehicle near the turnoff to Grandview Bench Road, two winters ago.

Vernon CO Brent Smith wanted to know what was going on, as he had received nine

calls to the hotline from cellphone users passing by.

In another case, Earl Bloom and I were being checked by two biologists as we came off Phillips Lake last spring with a catch of trout. They had viewed us fishing from their Ministry office in Kamloops, by the use of two cameras mounted on trees for surveillance of the lake. This allows biologists to view the number of anglers fishing on a daily basis, saving time and expense, as well as providing information for stocking purposes down the road.

It didn’t help the big burly angler fishing an Ontario lake as shown on CBC TV news earlier this week. It’s called shaming gone viral!

Other anglers spotted him clubbing a large Northern Pike, then throwing it back into the water. He was approached by the anglers who took the photo using a smart phone. Words were exchanged. He is paying the price now with humiliation, threats, and verbal abuse. So watch out, someone may just get you at a bad hair moment! It happened to a star football player down in the States recently.

Back to fishing, the Ontario angler has been charged by the Ontario Natural Resources Branch for wastage of game fish, and he is now banned from angling for two years!

Haskap – the new wonder berry

This past Saturday a group of around fifty people met in the Sockeye room of the Comfort Inn & Suites to talk about berries–Haskap berries, to be precise. Many of the people in the room were farmers, but there were also several businessmen and folks from the Salmon Arm Economical Development Society, as well as Dr. Bob Bors of the University of Saskatchewan, where studies are being done on the various aspects of the agriculture of the

America, and with a cold hardiness to -45º Celsius and a bloom tolerance to -8º Celsius, haskap berries grow very well in the Salmon Arm area and don’t require a lot of extra irrigation or attention.

The berries are unique in the fact that they ripen very early, usually one to two weeks before strawberry season, leaving a grower time to enjoy their

price and the amount of berries per bush the crop currently has the ability to bring the farmer $80–100 thousand per acre.

The picking costs are about $2 per kilo, and for larger operations, can be easily picked with mechanical harvesters that are adapted from other crops. For smaller farms, the berries are picked by putting down a tarp or other catching device such as a child’s swimming pool cut to slide under the plant, and then “tickling” the berries off the branches.

Haskap berry production would do well for

berry. Representatives from Haskap Canada were also present.

These berries seem to be causing quite a stir in Canada recently, being hailed as a wonderful new crop; and are getting great results in Saskatchewan and some Maritime provinces. There are many reasons for this, including the fact that they are very high in antioxidants, easy to grow and harvest, and the berry itself has a good flavour. Some other interesting characteristics: the skin seems to melt in your mouth, and very tiny seeds go unnoticed, thus making it an excellent choice for sauces and jams. The crop would do quite well in the Salmon Arm area and Salmon Arm Economical Development would like to see more farmers and small acreages in the area planting it.

Scientifically named Lonicera caerulea, the bush is actually more closely related to a tomato plant than a blueberry bush, although it is commonly likened to the blueberry. The bush can grow to about 1.5–2m high and one meter at the base.

It was named Haskap by the Japanese, but also goes by names such as “blue honeysuckle” and “honeyberry.”

Native to the boreal forest of Asia, Europe and North

summer after the harvest is over. One downfall to growing these berries is the loss to hungry birds, who will gorge themselves until they literally can’t fly. This can be taken care of through the use of bird netting. Pollination of the crop does not seem to be a problem; in fact, due to the early bloom, this crop can be a boon to a honeybee keeper as a good crop to give an early spring boost to their hives, although sometimes this plant is in bloom before the honey bees are even flying. The producer can easily supplement pollination through the addition of mason bees to the farm.

Farm gate sales of the berries do very well, as do sales to fruit stands and produce stores. The market has virtually exploded in the past decade with the berries being put into everything from beer to ice cream. A liquor bottled by Okanagan Spirits is also made from the berry. There is no end to the people who are interested in buying the berry, which has a flavour described as a cross between a blueberry, blackberry and saskatoon.

Startup costs for haskap run at about $7000 per acre for the bushes, and the current wholesale price for the berry is $25.00 per kilogram. With the current

people who have a small acreage such as 3–10 acres.

Although you’d get limited yield for the first five years, the second year would start to see a return of investment, and the third and fourth year would also do quite well.

Currently growing haskap berries in this area, Axel Hvidberg of High Mountain Farm in Salmon Arm gave a presentation on how he came to grow and become successful with the crop. He had much to share with me about the crop as I chatted with him during a break in the proceedings, and happily responded to several quick questions I had before he got up to speak to the crowd.

For the backyard gardener who just wants to try to grow some haskap berries for their own supply, the bushes can be purchased from any Nico’s location. I myself am certainly going to plant some in my yard and I know that I will be in line for a couple of these bushes just as soon as they are in stock.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Quilting workshops offered in Sorrento

For many years, Sorrento Centre has hosted a retreat-style quilt workshop in April, and this year’s course offerings promise to again be both fun and educational. The workshops run every day April 25 though 29 with options for the class you choose and the meals and accommodation you would like.

A choice of three workshops are being offered by the returning instructors. Dianne Jansson, a delightful experienced quilt teacher and owner of Di-Versity Quilting Supplies in Pritchard, will teach “Tessellations.”

These are interlocking shapes that compose a pattern and can be simple to complex.

Lynn Knox, whose quilt retreats are always fun, will teach “Metro Rings” which is an easy way to create a quilt

that looks like the difficult Wedding Ring Quilt, without the fuss.

Kathy Kinsella, a fibre art teacher from Blind Bay, is offering a class on

by Emily Garrett

Wild Tales Argentine director Damian Szifron’s latest

feature is a collection of six short stories unlinked by narrative but unified by the inevitable violence that threatens to push each of the main characters to their breaking point of madness. With subjects covering a lover’s betrayal, returning to a repressed past, and a not so simple encounter with road rage, a portrait of Argentina’s modern corruption and traditional expectation paints an exploration in understanding as to why our distressed and frustrated characters ultimately break free from civilized society and gleefully give in to the barbaric loss of control. With each story proving to be more shocking and bizarre than the last, this is comedy at its blackest.

Wild Tales shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 21st at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

“Butterflies and Dragonflies” where you will learn a variety of surface design techniques that will enable you to create beautiful and unique butterflies. Beginners to experienced fibre artists will find this an engaging course.

Being a retreat-style course means that you can stay in a comfortable lodge room and have all your meals prepared for you in the dining room allowing twenty-four hours a day for quilting. If, however, you prefer to trim the costs, you are welcome to come as a day student with no meals provided, or a combination of those options. Call Sorrento Centre (250-675-2421) to inquire about space in the workshop you would like to attend or visit their website at sorrento-centre.bc.ca.

March by our lakes Eat well, support cancer research

Friday, March 20, 2015 Lakeshore News A17

March marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring – a transition month when winter snow usually finally melts away in the valleys and the first brave flowers and buds swell and burst forth. With longer hours of daylight and generally warming temperatures, it is also a month when people in our part of the country tend to get outdoors for longer periods.

Walking is an especially enjoyable activity this time of year. So where are the interesting and enjoyable walks in the Shuswap? One idea is to head to your closest lake!

localities

by Wendy Clay

An easy walk in Salmon Arm is to the end of the wharf and back (above). Although our wharf is the longest freshwater wharf in Canada, it is certainly very accessible and short enough to be suitable for most ages and conditions. If you are lucky you may see an otter or various birds, or perhaps your friend or neighbour.

As an addition to the wharf walk, or on its own, you can stroll along the elevated waterfront walkway that extends both west and east along the lakefront. With the water

level of the lake still low, last year’s vegetation below will be brown and flattened, but you will be able to see more around you that won’t be visible once the water rises and the new growth ensues.

Walking farther to the east leads to the SABNES land and the foreshore trail skirting along the lake to Raven Subdivision (above). Again, the trees and branches are various shades of brown and gold in March, but you can see farther and with more detail because of the lack of deciduous growth. It is also enjoyable to anticipate and find the first signs of the approach of spring.

Also along Shuswap Lake in Salmon Arm, to the west near the sewage treatment plant, Peter Jannick Nature Park, although small, is interesting to explore on a walk. One early spring day I enjoyed watching a large gathering of geese and ducks just offshore from the park.

Other Shuswap communities have lakes nearby as well. Chase, Blind Bay, Canoe and Sicamous have wharfs and/or parks that can be explored on foot easily once the snow is basically gone. Smaller lakes such as White Lake and Gardom Lake may have ice on them longer, but they also have parks that are easy to walk to enjoy the natural environment. Enderby may not be on a lake, but it is on a river with a wonderful riverside trail (left) ideal for a gentle or brisk walk.

If you’ve been hibernating this winter come out of your den (and perhaps off your computer) this month, and head out for a walk, whether along a lake or some other favourite trail. You will not only feel better for the exercise, but will also be able to enjoy our beautiful natural environment as it readies for and awakens to a fresh, new beginning.

SALMON ARM – Starting Thursday, March 26 and ending Saturday, April 4, the Shuswap Chefs restaurant will host a special fixed price menu of $45 (featuring a 3-course meal). For every menu purchased, Shuswap Chefs will donate $10 back to the Canadian Cancer Society. This special event also includes live music on Saturday nights courtesy of Jim Johnston and a unique way to win some fermented grapes – A Wine Pull.

“I’m excited about the Wine Pull on the last night of the event,” says Terry Jobe, volunteer and Unit President for the Canadian Cancer Society in Salmon Arm. “We’ve got bottles of varying price points – people donate $20 to play. The trick is all the bottles are cleverly disguised so you don’t know if the wine you pull is the $15 bottle or the $100 bottle.”

The restaurant will also be decorated in fresh daffodil flowers.

“For the Canadian Cancer Society, the daffodil is more than a flower,” explains Jobe.

“It’s a bright and hopeful symbol that shows people living with cancer that they don’t have to face cancer alone. And it also says we won’t give up until we have achieved our vision of a world where no Canadian fears cancer.”

During April – Daffodil Month – the Canadian Cancer Society asks all Canadians to buy a daffodil pin and wear it to show their support for those living with cancer.

Last year, thanks to everybody’s generous support of Daffodil Month, the Society was able to fund $45 million dollars in world-class research to fight all cancers and help more than 85,000 Canadians through its information and support services. The Society also funds important cancer prevention work so fewer Canadians are diagnosed in the first place.

“In April we like to focus on the support programs that help people in Salmon Arm on a cancer journey,” says Wray. “Like our Lodge in Kelowna where patients can stay during cancer treatments to the financial support program that helps pay for their travel expenses to get there. We also have a wig bank in our local office where people can come and borrow a wig and get the emotional support they need.”

“I’m proud to be a part of the Canadian Cancer Society because I think with the help of our amazing volunteers and generous donors we’re making a real difference in the lives of people on their cancer journey,” says Wray.

In Salmon Arm, the Society kicks off Daffodil Month with the Shuswap Chefs event, running March 26 to April 4. On March 27 and 28 volunteers will be selling fresh cut daffodils for $5 a bunch at Askew’s (Downtown & Uptown), Walmart and Piccadilly Mall. The daffodil pin will also be available by donation at various businesses in Salmon Arm, Sorrento and Blind Bay throughout April, including all Starbucks, Pharmasave and BC Liquor stores.

“We’re looking forward to another successful Daffodil Campaign!” says Terry Jobe. “I want to thank everybody that buys a pin, or a bunch of daffodils, or comes to the Shuswap Chefs event.

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families.”

Shuswap Chefs are no strangers to supporting the Canadian Cancer Society, for the past several years they have put teams into the annual Curl for Cancer and held the 1st Annual Shuswap Chefs Fight Back last year, raising $400. Call Shuswap Chefs at 250-832-5016 to make a reservation and help fight back against cancer by enjoying some good food and better company.

SIROIS, Joseph Laurent Gaston “Gus” 1926 - 2015 Sadly, Gus passed away on March 10, 2015 at the age of 89 years.

A young adventurer from Quebec, Gus hopped a freight train heading west, looking for work among other things. For many years he worked in the logging industry around the Arrow Lakes, Nakusp, Revelstoke, and the Sicamous area where he and his wife Clara settled 50 years ago.

Gus was a man of many interests. He loved to fly, so did Clara, and they travelled far and wide in their own airplane. He loved to drive a truck, and he continued to drive a water truck up in the oil patch until he was in his 80’s. Another thing he loved was the sun and he spent many a season under the Arizona skies enjoying the company of friends.

Gus is predeceased by his wife Clara (2004) and is survived by his friend and partner Lucy.

We would like old friends and family to get together and bring their stories about Gus’ happy and colourful life. A Celebration of Life is planned for Saturday, April 4 at 3:00 pm at the Sicamous Legion Hall upstairs (use back entrance), 322 Main Street, Sicamous, V0E 2V0.

In lieu of flowers, if you wish, please make a donation to the Sicamous Legion, Branch 99 or the charity of your choice.

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