Chocolate eggs for all in Sorrento

By Roger Piper It was a beautiful day on Easter Sunday, a perfect day for the Easter Egg Hunt at SorrentoBlind Bay Park in Sorrento. As they have been doing for 16 or more years, the Sorrento Lions Club joined the River of Life Church to provide a great experience for everyone. Hundreds of people of all ages took part, some from distant locations in British Columbia and Alberta.

The Lions members spread more than 6000 tiny foil-wrapped chocolate eggs around the play area. At 11:00 the gates to the play area were opened and the youngest children rushed through

Slipcover season

As I said in the last column, I recently got the overwhelming urge to slipcover the living room furniture, but I didn’t. Yet. But it seems a fair number of my readers have also had the urge in the last while, so it’s time once again for an updated “Slipcover or Upholster?” column. I’m talking here about custom-made slipcovers, not the catalogue ones or ones you see in furniture stores. “One size fits all” doesn’t work in pantyhose and it doesn’t work in slipcovers.

Reason to upholster: • The furniture squeaks or wobbles: An upholsterer takes the cover off, right down to the wood, and can fix the squeaks and wobbles.

• The springs are sprung: Same thing as squeaks and wobbles–needs an upholsterer.

• There is a lot of exposed wood on the piece: Upholstery fabric is stapled in place and leaves the wood exposed where the design dictates; slipcovers aren’t good for this.

• You want the tufting reproduced: Tufting involves ties pulled through the surface and attached to the frame. Because slipcovers are removable, they can’t have tufting.

• The piece is leather: Some leather pieces can be slipcovered but most don’t do well. The surface is so slippery the cover just won’t stay in place.

Reasons to slipcover: • They can be washable, depending on the

to fill their Easter baskets (pictured). Five minutes later the older children joined the hunt.

Lions members also hid 50 plastic eggs along the trail to the side. Once found by lucky youngsters, these numbered eggs were exchanged for large chocolate bunnies.

Ten more bunnies were presented as prizes in the Easter Bonnet Contest. Some very creative bonnets were judged and the winners were: 5 years and under: 1. Lily Seys; 2. Evan Janzen; 3. Lilli Regnier 6 – 10 years: 1. Naomi Prouty; 2. Zachary Watkins; 3.

Kaleyih Stockburgger 11 – 15 years: 1. Gabe Niewenhueizen; 2. Owen Stockburgger; 3. Shelby Merry Adults (16 years and over): 1. Cilla Watkins; 2. Dean Carteer; 3.

Lynda Mercs.

The River of Life Church kindly barbequed 650 hotdogs and supplied plenty of coffee, hot chocolate and juice, all at no charge.

At precisely 11:30 a.m. a fire truck appeared on the scene carrying a very special guest. Excited children and parents gathered around to receive Easter eggs from this special guest – the Easter Bunny! It was a great day. Howard Vangool photo.

fabric you choose: Slipcovers need natural-fibre fabric which can be pre-shrunk.

• Slipcovering can be much less expensive than upholstery: A wing-back chair slipcover starts at $300; upholstering starts at about $800.

• Slipcovers do not damage or change the furniture in any way: Semi-attached back cushions, recliners and sofa-beds can be slipcovered.

• Slipcovers can alter the mood and style of the piece: A change in fabric, a change in trim size, adding or removing a skirt and changing the style of the skirt can update an older piece without altering the furniture.

• You don’t need to take the piece to the shop: The covers I make are fitted in your home and sewn in my shop.

Good-fitting custom-made slipcovers look like upholstery but they are, after all, fabric on fabric and they can shift. Be realistic in your expectations, please, and don’t expect a slipcover to perfectly reproduce an upholstered look every time. Your fabric choice and how you use the furniture will affect how it looks.

I’ll post some more pictures of slipcovers with this column on Designsewlutions.ca. If you’d like to chat about your possible slipcover project, call me at 250-833-1120.

Everyone is welcome to the next meeting on April 16, 2015 at the Chief Louis Centre, on Shuswap Road, Kamloops, which will be followed by a fundraising buffet lunch at the ABC Restaurant in Aberdeen. There will also be a shared pot draw, a bucket auction and candy guess. Tickets are $12.00. Contact Hellen at 250-832-3372.

I was recently reading another study that showed the healthy effects of eating a Mediterranean diet. It has been discovered that individuals with a higher risk for heart disease became significantly healthier and reduced their risk for disease by eating a diet rich in whole grains, nuts, seeds, olive oil, fruits, vegetables, fish. The study also showed that it was beneficial to reduce the amount of processed meat and prepared meals as well as red meat, and sugary foods.

What I also found ironic was the name they have given to the unhealthy dietary practice of North Americans. They refer to it as SAD which stands for the “Standard American Diet.” A SAD diet consists of a heavy intake of processed, fatty, high calorie foods that are lacking in fibre and nutrients.

What this study found was that the group of people consuming a Mediterranean diet with extra amounts of mixed nuts and olive oils reduced the risk of death from cardiovascular disease and the chance of having a heart attack or

Volunteers needed for Children’s Festival

The Canada Day Children’s Festival is a wildly popular family event attended by approximately 5000 people each year. Held at the Salmon Arm North Fairgrounds, it is the only Canada Day celebration held in Salmon Arm... and it’s free.

The festival organizers are gearing up for the 2015 edition. The core planning committee consists of seven unpaid community members who spend countless hours each year putting this festival together for the benefit of the children and families in this community. The core committee is committed to the festival; however, assistance is essential to the future viability of this event.

Set-up and take-down occurs June 30th and July 1st. Over 100 volunteers come out and work during the festival hours, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The greatest need is finding energetic people to

assist with getting all the gear set up, and afterwards, putting it all away.

Driven by dedicated volunteers, the event has been running in Salmon Arm for over 25 years. It is an important part of our community and is the only Canada Day Celebration in Salmon Arm. To keep it going, the community must step up and help. The planning committee would like to find approximately 25–30 people to lighten the load. Set-up on June 30th could potentially be completed in four hours, while take-

down on July 1st can be accomplished in three hours or less, depending on the number of volunteers.

If you have a group of people, can send over a few staff members, or have some spare time and want to help keep the children’s festival healthy and vibrant, please offer your help.

Youths are encouraged to volunteer during the event on July 1st (min. age 13 without an adult).

Can you commit? Please contact Karen or Kari at volunteer@ sachildrensfest. com.

If you have been told you have high levels of LDL (or bad cholesterol) in your blood, you are certainly not alone.

A recent survey from Statistics Canada found that over three million Canadians are already being treated with cholesterol-lowering drug therapies including statins.

Statin drugs can cause side effects including significant muscle pain in approximately 20% of people. Others cannot tolerate the drug at all. The side effects may be a reason why more than half of people with elevated uncontrolled or very high cholesterol levels are not taking any medications.

At the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) 2014 Scientific Sessions, the preliminary results from the clinical trials for a new type of LDL

lowering therapy, PCSK9 inhibitors (proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9) were presented.

PCSK9 inhibitors are a novel class of cholesterol-reducing drugs that are raising hopes for patients who cannot tolerate statins. The early results showed a reduction of LDL by 40-70% in five separate studies of various patient groups and reduced the risk of heart attack by half!

To the relief of patients, PCSK9 did not appear to cause the type of troubling side effects associated with statin use. Also, unlike statins, which are daily pills, PCSK9 inhibitors are typically given by injection every two or four weeks Often it takes considerable time for new therapies to be available to

patients, but now people with high levels of LDL who live in the Shuswap area and qualify, can travel to Kelowna (you may be compensated for your travel to study appointments) and participate in a clinical research study to manage their high LDL and play an important role in the advancement of medical science.

As in all medical trials, eligible participants will receive comprehensive study-related medical care, monitoring and study medication at no cost while participating.

To find out if you are eligible to participate in study or for further information, please call The Medical Arts Health Research Group at 1-888-4904320 or visit HealthResearch.ca.

A Note on Posture A stable frame is known to be the most important part of any project, whether it be a sky scraper, vehicle, or playing card castle. This is just as important in our bodies. Our bodies are extremely detailed machines that propel us through motion using three classes of levers to create a desired action. Each muscle is situated in the body for a specific set of actions allowing us a variety of motions as well as combining muscle action to provide precise movements. However if the muscle is not properly situated, it can be difficult to achieve the motion, leaving the task at hand more strenuous as well as decreasing strength and endurance. In a world with many different body styles adapting too many different occupations and lifestyles, it can be hard to accommodate your body for what is required of it. That’s where our posture (stable frame) comes in. If we can be strong in our frame, tasks that require us to be in compromising positions can be easier and more efficient while also preventing body aches and pains on a regular basis. Alongside promoting better efficiency in the muscles, better posture can take strain off of joints and can help to decrease risks of arthritis from uneven wear and tear on the joints. But let’s be realistic, it’s not always just bringing your shoulders back, postural advice is different for every person. It is important to have a postural assessment to tailor a pro-active postural plan to help you be better, be stronger, and be closer to a pain free day! Invest in your body, at Chadalin Medi-Spa.

SENIOR CAN’T FIND HIS EASTER EGGS At noon on Easter Sunday I saw a senior friend sitting outside, having a smoke, so I asked if he had any plans for Easter. “Nope. Hid my own Easter eggs and still can’t find them. It’s called senility.”

SMART METER ALLOWS MONITORING OF POWER Barrie McKenzie of Blind Bay responded to my item about calculating power consumption in the home. He wrote: “I have just finished reading your column in the April 3 Lakeshore News, in particular the subject titled POWER IS USED EVEN WHEN IN ‘OFF’ MODE. If you go to the BC Hydro website and register you will get daily read outs of your electrical consumption on your home computer. The displays show the current week, billing period, previous billing periods, etc. so that you can make comparisons on your electrical usage and what effect any changes you make will have on your bill. The readouts are in kilowatt hours as well as dollars and cents, so the information is very meaningful. You don’t have to be a numbers person to understand the results.

“I have been using this information to monitor the power consumption in our home in Blind Bay since it became available and I find it to be very useful.

LECTURER AT UVic SAID SENIORS MUST KEEP LEARNING NEW THINGS TO PREVENT DEMENTIA While in Victoria recently, son-number-one was attending a lecture by Cindy de Frias, PhD, senior scientist at the Centre on Aging at UVic. I tagged along, and wondered if my son wanted to learn how he can help his mother keep her marbles till she kicks the bucket.

The speaker said seniors are tested for cognitive ability and have it measured. One question is “She wore a red dress to the park. What colour was her dress?” Ways to promote successful cognitive aging include engaging in social activities, being physically active like walking or gardening, information seeking like watching TV or reading a newspaper, playing a musical instrument or sewing, and novel activities like learning a language and playing board games.

TO STAY YOUNG, DO NOT HOLD A GRUDGE At UVic last month, Dr. de Frias suggested that “rumination” or holding a negative thought, distracts older people from thinking about positive or helpful things. We should try to be present and mindful instead. Are you holding a grudge about a past wrong? What would you think about if you were not ruminating?

If you google “Anger Causes Pain,” you will find many articles written on the subject. Psychology Today was quoted in an article titled “Anger, pain and depression” as saying anger has potent physiological effects. You feel it in your chest. You feel it in your head. You feel it coursing through your body. The article lists ways to keep anger from feeding your depression.

HEALTH CANADA APPROVES NON-BROWNING APPLE Despite the large opposition to introducing the genetically-modified apple to orchards and store shelves, Health Canada approved it on March 20, 2015. Groups like Health Action Network Society (HANS) will step up their campaigning for mandatory GM labelling, like in Australia, New Zealand and most of Europe. This apple doesn’t brown for 15 to 18 days after being cut. New genetic material, including a plant virus and two different bacteria, is inserted to “silence” the browning gene.

A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR HOLISTIC PRACTIONERS AND BUSINESSES A year ago, the Holistic Chamber of Commerce, Kelowna branch, had its grand opening in a café. It was the first branch in British Columbia. Now, according to www.holisticchamberofcommerce.com, there is also one in Richmond. Contrary to most chambers, the members in this one are holistic first and commercial second. They work towards a healthier community and planet, and share ways to make a living helping people. Meeting style is more like a Rotary or Toastmasters. For more info, contact chapter president Arlana Tanner at 250-3009933 or Kelowna@HolisticChamberOfCommerce.com DOGS IN THREE COUNTIES IN SEATTLE LEAVE ABOUT 268,000 LBS OF POOP A DAY Seattle has 50 per cent more dogs than kids, according to the Seattle Times. That is why 26 apartments, condos and homeowners associations in the city and three counties are using DNA testing to catch dog owners who don’t pick up pet droppings. A company called BioPet Vet Lab from Knoxville, Tennessee, is providing its PooPrints testing kits. Pet owners are charged $59.95 to have the poop tested, and $50 for collecting the sample. One person was fined five times in one week, totaling over $500.

Now people clean up after their dogs.

SENDING NEWS FROM THE ENDERBY PAPER TO MACLEANS MAGAZINE IN 1972 EARNED ME $5 When I was a nurse in Enderby in 1972, I always read the Enderby Commoner. Maclean’s magazine invited readers to send funny clips from Canadian newspapers for its column called Chez Us. This was used in the November issue and earned me five dollars: “The Enderby downtown streets received a good sweeping last week when the sweeper machine from Armstrong was brought in. It certainly improved the appearance and got rid of some of the dust and crap off the streets. The Enderby Commoner, B.C.” SALMON ARM’S ROADS BEING SWEPT EFFICIENTLY BY TWO MACHINES A Zamboni-like machine, a big tank on wheels, is pre-wetting roads with water for the street sweeper. This prevents clouds of dust from spreading to either side of the street.

In winter, the big tank is used for de-icing streets by spraying a fine amount of magnesium chloride, an environmentally safe salt, on main thoroughfares when a commercial forecasting service predicts snow and rainfall that will be followed by night-time temperatures that could lead to black ice.

those all sound great, but us bean counters like to suggest some more responsible ways to use these funds.

1. Pay off debt – if you are carrying large credit card bills or have a line of credit that needs to be paid down then use your tax refund.

2. Make a lump sum contribution to your Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) – the sooner you make your RSP contribution, the sooner the money starts working for you.

3. Contribute to a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) – you can invest up to $5,500 dollars in 2015 plus any contribution room you didn’t use from a prior year. As it started in 2009, you could have contributed up to $36,500 by now.

If you haven’t started one, now would be a good time.

4. Contribute to a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) – for those with children or grandchildren that are expected to pursue post-secondary education, you can invest up to $2,500 each year and receive a 20% grant ($500) from the government. The government does give out ‘free money’ once in a while! Who said they aren’t generous?

So there you have it–four practical and responsible ways you can use your tax refund. So start planning your holiday… I mean go talk to your financial advisor.

It’s tax time! Everyone’s favourite time of year. If you’re “lucky,” you’ve filed your tax return, you’ve taken advantage of the many old and new tax credits available, and you are now receiving a big refund from the government. Aren’t the folks in Ottawa and Victoria generous?

Well I don’t mean to pop your bubble, but the only money you receive back is money you had prepaid to the government in the first place. I am sorry to say they aren’t actually that generous; they are only giving you back your own money! We like to remind you of that fact at least once every couple months.

I get asked the question all the time: “I thought I would get back a lot more money on my taxes?!” To which I have to respond, “You only get back the money you originally paid to the government.” If the government only took $200 off your pensions, the most they will give back is $200; even if you have $50,000 in donations or $50,000 in medical expenses. There are a few exceptions, but when it comes to tax returns the government doesn’t simply give you ‘free’ money.

So let’s suppose you’ve received a nice big refund. What should you do with it? Go buy a new outfit?

Perhaps go on a holiday? Well,

Improve your memory and cognitive function

Striders part of Canada-wide portrait series The Thursday morning Shuswap Strider walkers met up with the Canadian Mosaic project last week while the RV was parked in Salmon Arm, and had their photos taken for the cause.

Canadian Mosaic’s mission is to create a collection of 54,000 photographic portraits, faces of Canada, from every province and territory, from all ethnic/socioeconomic groups, sub-cultures and generations.

In his van, from 2008 until the present, Tim Van Horn has been photographing people

from thousands of places, making his creative-tour-of-duty to unite and inspire the country. He aims to create the story of life with the largest portrait series ever created in Canadian history.

In 2017, for Canada’s 150th birthday, 0.150% of the population will converge and weave together a spectacular “prism of life” on the Canadian flag.

By now, so far, over 40,000 portraits have been taken from coast to coast.

Submissions deadline for art competition extended The Okanagan College Earth Matters event, an environmental art competition and symposium, has been rescheduled to the fall.

New and experienced Okanagan artists can submit their artwork by October 20, 2015. A symposium and award event recognizing the winning art pieces will follow in mid-November.

The artistic event aims to highlight the correlation between intellect and creative expression in the natural and social sciences.

Artists can participate in two categories: secondary school students in Grades 10 to 12 and a second category for any adults age 18 and older.

The art entries must reflect on one of the four themes—biodiversity, water resources, waste, climate change – which will be the focus of the academic symposium.

Original art work must be two-dimensional, and it (or a photograph of it) must be submitted digitally. (See below). Maximum size is 20” by 30” (approximately 51 centimetres by 76 centimetres). Entries must be submitted by 5 p.m.

Oct. 20, 2015. Winning entrants will be notified

by Nov. 5, and original works (if they aren’t digital to begin with) must be delivered to an Okanagan College campus by Nov. 12, 2015, in

anticipation of an awards ceremony tentatively scheduled for Nov. 19 (to be confirmed).

Prizes for the winner in each category include a $500 tuition bursary for the secondary school division, and the adult open category winners will receive a one-day workshop with internationally acclaimed nature artist Terry Isaac at his studio in Penticton.

Details about the symposium, and winning entries will be made available in the fall. For more information about the Earth Matters competition, including artwork submission guidelines, please visit www.okanagan.bc.ca/earthmatters.

Supporting our seniors

As you may know, I am in my final year as your elected representative in Parliament which means that my retirement is approaching after 19 years of serving the communities of the OkanaganShuswap as Mayor and now Member of Parliament.

In 2012, nearly 1 in 7 Canadians was a senior and this number is expected to nearly double to 1 in 4 by the year 2030. This extraordinary change has already begun to bring new challenges and opportunities to ensure the well-being and high quality of life for seniors – two objectives that Canada’s Government is committed to and is investing in. Our Government

established the Ministry for Seniors in 2007 to ensure these objectives are met.

Canada’s Government has implemented policies and programs such as pension splitting, increases to Old Age Security, and combatting elder abuse to ensure financial security for seniors while allowing them to age in place.

Our Government implemented the New Horizons for Seniors Program which assists seniors’ organizations in investing in their activity centres or in providing programming to support seniors’ wellness and social activities. Each funding application is eligible for up to $25,000 which has

been applied to renovating facilities used by seniors and supporting activities for seniors in our riding.

This year organizations in the OkanaganShuswap received $263,000 of the annual $10 million fund.

Thanks to this funding infrastructure for seniors in the community of Enderby will be renovated and made safer, and seniors will soon enjoy outdoor fitness equipment at Barnes Park; seniors in Lumby will have expanded opportunities to learn about the internet, email and social media; seniors in Tappen will benefit from improvements to their activity centre; seniors in Armstrong will benefit from

Falkland First Responders need help

I read in a Vancouver newspaper that the Ministry of Health has plans to institute a program for paramedics to bring health services to communities such as Falkland and Westwold, who have no medical services. I wrote to the Hon Terry Lake to get more information. My first thought in reading the plans was, there is no way this program will work. We are very lucky to have two very qualified paramedics in town, but when you are talking about first responder service– twenty-four hours per day, seven days a week–two paramedics can only stretch so far.

The services Hon. Lake is talking about would require enough paramedics living in Falkland to cover a complete service. It was obvious upon reading about the proposal that Falkland would not qualify. We

OVER 70 DISPLAYS!

have discussed having an ambulance stationed in Falkland, but with Vernon so close, the Ambulance Service folks are not interested.

The biggest problem is the additional funding that would be needed and the government isn’t providing us any funding, so it is unlikely that when you add the cost of an ambulance and on-duty paramedics, we won’t be on the list of towns that can expect more than what we have now – an underfunded service with volunteers. The key word is volunteers: in a small town, there aren’t enough volunteers to provide an adequate service. This problem is shared by most small towns in B.C. We have been very lucky over the twenty-plus years we have been operating to have some very dedicated volunteers who give over and above what is needed.

Trying to operate with inadequate funding has been a problem for the life of the service. We are fortunate that we receive an annual grant from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, thanks to Rene Talbot.

This year we will be receiving a grant from the Thompson Nicola District thanks to an increase in city funding through the Westwold/ Monte Lake Citizens and Ken Gillis. The rest of our funding has to come from service clubs, fundraisers and caring individuals. We are allowed to use the old fire hall courtesy of CSRD, but of course with the use of the building comes the cost of building insurance, and utilities. Additional costs include providing medical equipment and cell phones for the volunteers. Our volunteers have to get updated to standards required by the Ministry of Health.

We recently upgraded the batteries on our defibrillators for $750, thanks to a grant from Salmon Arm Rotary Club.

Recently, one of our volunteers attended a head-on collision in Westwold and he had to manage on his own until the ambulance arrived one hour later from Kamloops. And to give you an example of the dedication of our volunteers, one went out to on a night call in her pajamas when a vehicle drove off the road and down a steep bank by Whispering Pines.

If you are interested in helping us out with our funding, or you would like to volunteer, please contact Joan at 250-379-2291, myself at 250-3792608, or send mail to Box 67, Falkland, VOE 1W0.

Letters to the Editor

First Bill C-51, then the Charter?

In his letter “Bill C-51 under fire,” Mr. B. Campbell defends Bill C-51 using questionable assumptions and statements.

Opponents are credible. By referring to “outdated politicians and sour grapes ex-Prime Minister,” the attempt is made to discredit the opponents of Bill C-51. However, the opponents of Bill C-51 are some of the most knowledgeable and intelligent minds in the country. I will focus on two of them.

Prime Minister Chrétien was our PM during the polarizing time after 9/11. He showed tremendous courage and fortitude in resisting intense US and Reform (now Conservative) Party pressure to join in the unjustified invasion of Iraq (where are those weapons of mass destruction?). By his strength of character, he saved countless lives. He is now warning us of Bill C-51 and has nothing to gain by doing so.

The Privacy Commissioners of every province and territory have unanimously penned a detailed letter outlining their alarm at the contents of Bill C-51. Their jobs are to protect our privacy and rights and they are experts in this field.

Unbelievably, they were DENIED an appearance to speak to the committee hearings on Bill C-51. This should raise red flags for every Canadian.

Police have the tools they need. Bill C-51 would give CSIS and RCMP radical new powers including mass surveillance. Are these needed?

In his original letter, MP Mayes lists off several threats that RCMP and CSIS have stopped, including the “Toronto 18” and Via Rail plot.

The obvious conclusion is that the existing laws and tools available to the RCMP and CSIS are working. They should be, as they are the outcome of Canada’s experience with REAL terrorist threats.

From 1963 to 1970, Canada dealt with a real domestic terrorist organization that was involved in bombings, kidnappings and murder. The FLQ crisis was dealt with forcefully by PM Trudeau.

Many years later, one of the largest terrorist attacks in history was planned and initiated here in British Columbia by Sikh ‘militants.’ The bombing of Air India Flight 182 killed 329 people, all innocent. Our present laws evolved due to our experience dealing with these REAL terrorist attacks.

Immigration is good for Canada. With the exception of the First Nation peoples, all Canadians are or were immigrants at some point.

It is part of our national fabric and makes us who we are. Mr. Campbell repeatedly links immigration to a mythical terrorist threat. The FLQ, however, was a completely domestic threat.

Furthermore, there were no further incidents involving the FLQ or Sikh militants following investigations and prosecution of those involved, proving it was individuals and not the ethnic community at large who were the threat. In fact, it is often the community that alerts the authorities to any threats.

It is our duty to defend Canada. I agree with this altruistic statement, just as I agree with “Moms are great.” However, neither statement has anything to do with Bill C-51, which attacks the fundamental rights and freedoms of Canadians. But is Bill C-51 only the first step?

Mr. Campbell goes further in actually suggesting the Charter of Rights and Freedoms ‘needs to be re-examined’.

I encourage all readers to educate themselves about Bill C-51 and to take action while it is still possible to make your voice heard. The website stopc51.ca is a good place to start.

Tobiah Riley, Salmon Arm

Demonstrators first to scream

In the April 3/2015 issue of Lakeshore News, Mr. B. Campbell tells it like it is.

I am sure there will be letters calling Mr. Campbell a racist–the usual ploy to shut people up.

The demonstrators against Bill 51 seem to be living in Cloud Cuckoo Land. They parade with their pathetic signs and chants thinking that they will never come to harm.

The terrorist love them; they laugh and call them “Useful Idiots.”

A backpack full of explosives will have no bearing on civil rights.

The irony is that should the bombs start to explode, these demonstrators will be the first ones to scream at their government for protection.

Richard Scott, Salmon Arm

This is not the Autobahn

Summer is right around the comer here in Salmon Arm, and with it comes a disturbing trend: extreme speed. Living on any street providing a considerable straight stretch only makes matters worse. This past week, a motorcycle raced down our street at what was estimated as double the city’s speed limit. Young families live here and many pets as well. We have lived here a short time but noticed that over half of the vehicles exceed the speed limit every day. Quite a few racers seem to relish the area of Foothills Road and any straight stretch that branches off of it. As usual, appar-

ently a death or maiming is required before any of these extreme racers understand the risks of racing in residential areas.

By the way, the vehicles and the people driving them that are exceeding the speed limit, come in every shape, size and age, so blame is not solely on the youth.

Also, many vehicles have company names on their doors; construction companies, utility, and so on.

In conclusion, please think of the possible consequences you may bring to yourself and others if you don’t slow down.

GMOs can be beneficial, but should be labeled

I wish to express some of the different ways that genetically modified foods have the potential to be a substantially beneficial food source.

Genetically-modified foods provide the opportunity to create a larger and broader food source worldwide. These foods are being specifically created to have certain characteristics it naturally does not have, such as, certain bacterium and/or nutrients. Scientists have been able to successfully produce crops and plant life that contain a particular bacterium that kills off specific pests, but does close to no harm to surrounding animals or helpful insects. Growing these bacteria-infused foods helps environmentally in the sense that the farmers will rarely, if ever have to spray them with harmful pesticides. In some cases these foods will also be developed to have certain vitamins or nutrients in them that they would not otherwise have; an example is controlled carrots. Some controlled carrots are being infused with calcium: doing this causes the per-

Friday, April 10, 2015 Lakeshore News A11

son who consumes the product to have an increase in their absorption of calcium by fifty percent. This is beneficial for those who suffer from calcium deficiency.

In general, mass production of these foods will create a larger supply so that fewer people worldwide will die from hunger or malnutrition.

While genetically modified foods are beneficial, it is important that the products that are genetically modified be labeled as such. This should be done so that people who are against the movement of genetically modified products are aware of what they are putting into their own and others’ bodies. There are constantly more people being born into this world and genetically modified foods have the means of making sure that there is enough food to sustain life.

SPCA launches pet registry

By Janet Pattinson Recently there was media coverage of a cat lost in Ontario that was returned to her owner in Edmonton by an animal rescue group. How was that possible? When the cat was taken to a vet for spay surgery, the vet team noticed the cat’s ear tattoo. The animal rescuers were able to find out who the cat belonged to, and generous animal lovers provided the money for the return journey. Without that tattoo, Cleo, the cat, would never have found her way home.

The BC SPCA promotes the use of permanent pet identification. While a collar tag is generally used for dogs, cats often don’t have a collar.

Moreover, collars and tags can get lost. A tattoo or microchip is a permanent form of identification.

The BC SPCA has now launched the BC Pet Registry. All animals adopted from BC SPCA shelters will have a microchip and the guardian’s information will be included in the pet registry.

The first year’s cost of this service is included in the adoption fee.

While there are multiple pet ID companies and systems operating across Canada, there is little or no integration among them, often complicating or delaying the return of animals to their guardians. With close to 250,000 adoptions in the past ten years, the BC SPCA is the bestplaced organization in the province to create a more streamlined system to aid animal guardians should their pet ever be lost.

For more details on this initiative, go to spca. bc.ca. The FAQ section is particularly useful.

Memories of days gone by

Country singer Tom T. Hall’s song “Ol’ Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine” brings back memories of a bygone era for many of us older guys. Lonely times.

Good times. And times we’ve poured blended whiskey down, reflecting on events that had happened to us through life. I have a neighbour who worked at the S&K plywood plant for S. M. Simpson years ago in Kelowna, after I did my time turning sheets and feeding the press. Another chap who fought wildfires, the old way, like I did, ran crews on fires on Joss Mountain, Wap/Kingfisher, when Brian Collins was the forest ranger in Enderby. Henry Zamis and Stan Wejr also ran crews. Why, I recall looking for firefighters for the Cooke Creek fire, at Hupel, by cleaning out the Enderby hotel.

Assistant ranger Brian Lodge waited with a pickup and conscription pad, as I walked through the front lobby. Bartender Big George Green just stood there with a big grin on his face!

Many men worked at jobs, too, that got them by until retirement.

However, they also say variety is the spice of life, and I have been very fortunate right from the beginning, as a kid with my ol’ collie dog walking a trout fishing creek, to military time, lodge operator, and doing enforcement as a fishery officer for 24 years.

Reflections: The morning sun

shone brightly off the sagebrush-covered hills. Below Merritt, the Nicola River wound its meandering way, parallel to the twisting ribbon of asphalt, downhill to Spences Bridge, spilling its rippling flood waters into the surging Thompson River. I slowed the Dept. of Highways sign truck to a stop, as ol’ bespectacled Englishman Bill lay across the road writhing in pain.

Leaving his ramshackle cabin on the bank of the Nicola River, to head for the two holer, he had been nailed above the ankle by a rattlesnake. Taking my belt knife, I cut the two fang marks, bled the wound, and rushed him to the Ashcroft hospital‚ the only place with an anti-venom supply.

Another character seen hitchhiking the road was ol’ Peg Leg. He had made a stump of wood, strapped onto his hip with a harness of leath-

Meditations Read: Matthew 26:36-56

er. While slinging beer years earlier for owner lvor Lewis at the Lytton beer parlour, we’d fire him out the exit door on his head, for stealing beer off the tables of the patrons. He was blacklisted.

George Billy was a First Nations fellow I always picked up. He spent time as a part-time flagman for us, but had lost his driver’s license. Congenial and always happy, he once offered me a 38 lb. steelhead he had gillnetted in the Thompson River.

I ran into many more characters while spending nine years working in the Fraser canyon.

One job stood out: the signing of the Hope slide. It was 3:56 a.m. on the morning of Saturday, January 9th, 1965, when seismographs jiggled across the Pacific Northwest, recording a earthquake of 3 on the Richter scale.

The epicentre was in the Nicolum Valley above Hope. Small Outram Lake shimmered silently below Mt. Coulter/ Johnson Peak. Four people were trying to figure out how to remove a convertible car stuck on rocks on the road, unaware that 60 million tons of dirt, rock, trees, and snow would soon be on them. Norm Stephanishin, driver of an Arrow Company oil tanker, had stopped further back, as had Greyhound bus driver David Hughes, with his 18 passengers.

When the slide hit, it took the life of Thomas Starchuk, who was hauling a load of hay from Grandview flats in Armstrong.

Killed too was Bernie Beck, owner of the convertible; and my friends Dennis Arlitt and Mary Kalmakoff.

Next week, we will bring you the complete story, including the crash of the Northstar passenger plane, killing all aboard, only 55 feet below, clearing Mt. Slesse, high above the slide, and the subsequent search for missing pilot Dave Chapman, in rugged terrain to the east of Hope.

Postill Lake: While running a trapline, I had to pass through Steve Batta’s yard. He was a short, stocky Yugoslavian, who had a large timber stand of prime fir/spruce. He also had a 3 ton Chev truck, and would haul short logs to the Crown Zellerback mill in Kelowna on occasion. Steve also collected old Hayes logging trucks and yard skidders on wheels, and he put his sheep in a old school bus to protect them from bears at lambing time. He also had a Calvary Temple bus, from the Phil Gaglardi highways ministry era. He never docked the tails of his sheep. Covered in burrs, and with long tails dragging, these sad critters wandered over on the Postill Lake road at night; we’d see them while driving to the lodge. He was robbed one afternoon by two crooks while in hospital, but they missed $8,000 in the pocket of a vest that was draped over a chair. He passed away, leaving a large sum of money to his logging truck driver and accountant. On the way to the airport at Kelowna, one can see his monster-large house high

he battle that our Lord faced over the cross was won in Gethsemane. Great drops of sweat poured out as He struggled through to a full surrender to His Father’s will. When we ponder the anguish He endured there, how is it that He calls us to take up our own cross daily? Must we face the agony of the cross every day as he did?

The apostle Paul answered this question triumphantly in Galatians 2:20: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God." The path to full surrender means death to the old man and birth into a new man. There is a sense in which this does not need to be repeated. Even though we continue battling the sin nature, there is daily power for victory over it. Praise God! Adversity can be a path that leads to surrender. Evidently there is too much "me" left in men. How fiercely the struggle rages!

How deeply our feelings are pained, and we cry out, "Why me?" Maybe we struggle to make sense of the adversity. It is because God wants us to draw closer in deeper surrender. He wants to use us for His own greater purposes.

This is really His great lovingkindness to us. The key verse says it all. God has no desire to harm us as His children. He just wants to bring us to His desired end.

Which will it be, my will or His will? Let’s not get caught up in trying to create our own happiness, but let’s surrender to His plan and say from the heart, "Thy will be done."

James Baer - Salmon Arm, BC There are only two kinds of people in the world: Those who say, "Thy will be done," and those who say, "My will be done."

If you have someone you would like to mention, with an interesting twist, or humourous side, just give me a call.

Here and there in the Shuswap We live in one of the most beautiful provinces in all of Canada. Millions of dollars are spent by residents and tourists alike, enjoying the fishing, camping, hiking, and travelling to view the scenery, and the sheer beauty of what we have all around us. We also realize the cost of running a province, with costs such as healthcare, education, and maintaining or upgrading our highway system.

But in all the spending, parks– the mainstay of what folks enjoy–and campsites could use more funding, along with more boots on the ground for the Conservation Officer Service, to continue to maintain and look after our wildlife. We can see what is happening to the rhino and elephant populations in Africa, and yes, we do have pollutors and poachers here, but we are falling behind with enforcement staff to do the job.

Go to their website to view the statistics: In 2004-5 there were 5,261 case files for the now reduced 108 members. In 201213, they worked on 9,375 files, of which only 55% got tickets or warnings. If you value your hunting, fishing, and viewing of wild things, voice your views to your MLA Greg Kyllo. Email Christy Clark expressing your views. We could use a CO here again in Salmon Arm. It’s gotten so ridiculous, they closed the CO office in Revelstoke to Golden, and both CO’s in Nakusp used to have to come to Revelstoke on complaints.

Fishing: all reports say it’s not bad, so get out on the water, and enjoy our fabulous spring weather!

One spot could be yours.

BC’s Team Jenkins takes bronze

Vancouver, BC (March 30, 2015) – Olympian Sandra Jenkins has added another medal to her trophy cabinet after winning bronze at the 2015 Canadian Senior C u r l i n g Championships.

Jenkins (from left), and her team of third Kate Horne, second Wendy Cseke and lead Carol Murray, claimed the bronze medal by stealing a single in the final end of their 7-6 victory against Saskatchewan on Saturday.

The Salmon Arm rink won the game after bouncing back from an extra end defeat to six-time Scotties champion Colleen Jones in the 2v3 game.

Jenkins had beaten Jones earlier in the week but could not repeat the feat as a seventh end steal by the Nova Scotians helped them secure a 5-4 win, and a place in the final.

After conceding the first two games of their national campaign, the BC women

had a strong run of five wins which saw them progress to the Championship pool and hand the previously u nb eaten Saskatchewan their first defeat.

Team Jenkins’s final Championship pool game was against Northern Ontario who they were tied with. It was a crucial game with a place in the playoffs the prize for whoever won. The BC women triumphed and, due to results in other games, were seeded second for the knock-out stages where they lost to Jones.

In the Men’s event, BC’s Team Craig made the Championship pool but was unable to progress to the playoffs.

The Victoria team of skip Wes Craig, third Scott MacDonald, second Tony Anslow and lead Lindsay Cheetham, secured wins over PEI, N u n a v u t , Newfoundland and Labrador and Saskatchewan during

Urbain Foucher 1941 - 2015 It is with sadness that the family of Urbain announces his passing with his family by his side on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at the age of 73 years at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm, BC. Urbain was born on December 20, 1941 to parents Arthur and MarieJeanne Foucher in Zenon Park, Saskatchewan.

In 1945 the Foucher family relocated to Maple Ridge, BC and this is where Urbain spent 50 wonderful years. In 1966 Urbain married Colleen Little and together they had 2 sons, Dennis and Dean. Over the years in Maple Ridge the family established many friendships that would last a lifetime. Urbain loved his chosen career as carpenter / builder and was still actively working until 2012, he took great pride in his workmanship.

Urbain and Colleen moved to the Shuswap making Blind Bay, BC their home. Together they spent many hours on the golf course continuing to build new friendships.

Urbain was predeceased by his parents, 4 brothers, and a sister.

He will be forever loved and missed by his family, wife Colleen, sons; Dennis (Michelle) of Mission, BC, Dean (Michelle) of Lone Butte, BC, grandchildren; Brandon, Elizabeth and Ashley, sisters; Helene and Vivian as well as many friends and extended family.

ANNA GISELA SCHMIDT (nee Jorss) 1923 – 2015 Gisela passed away peacefully at Hillside Village on March 30, 2015 at the age of 91 years. She was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany and in post-war years worked as a drafts person / technician for a manufacturing firm in Esslingen, Germany.

In 1966 she immigrated to Canada and married Reinhold, whose career took them to many exotic places in the far East. Returning to Canada, they spent years in SK, AB, and BC enjoying travel and social life with many acquaintances and friends.

Gisela was an expert seamstress and dappled in scenic photography. As a lifelong champion of dogs, she was predeceased by many canine companions… her last, Max. She loved and respected all animals and she spent as much of her life as possible outdoors during her frequent walks.

Gisela was feisty and independent, with a dry sense of humour that at times was unexpected. If you had the patience to get to know her, she was a loyal and generous friend. Gisela was proud being a Canadian; a highlight of her life was when she became a citizen of Canada (1970).

We became acquainted with Gisela at a difficult point in her life and came to know a spirited lady quite by accident. We will treasure and remember friendship shared with her. It was a special kind of journey walking and being part of her life as a widow.

She is survived by her stepson Kurt Schmidt of Leduc, AB as well as friends, Brenda and Joe. No service at her request.

Many grateful thanks to the kind and compassionate staff at Hillside Village for adding light to her life for three years. Thanks also to Curtis Horne who made her laugh and added to the quality of her life in her twilight years.

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