Rural patient care study

Recently, a research study conducted by UBCO grad student Merel Voth investigated the quality of life and quality of care of rural palliative patients that are living in the Shuswap. It is already known that rural palliative patients have different needs than those living in urban centres. This study focused on the quality of life and quality of care from the perspective of the patients. Currently there are many studies focusing on palliative care; however, there are few studies that look at the perspective of the patients.

The major finding from the study indicates that participants want to live their life as “normal,” which means that patients want to remain in their own home, doing their regular social activities and remain in the community for their health care treatments. Many participants shared that they achieved this notion of “life as normal” by staying as independent as possible.

Others suggested that they save up their energy for social activities was very important to their quality of life. Many of the participants also spoke about the importance of maintaining a positive outlook which was often achieved by remaining focused on staying in the moment, relying on spiritual practices, being active and having a general sense of gratitude.

Rural living and the associated sense of belonging and personalized care was an essential aspect of quality of life, and influenced participants’ perceptions of high-quality healthcare. Participants highlighted their appreciation for a “personalized health care approach.”

Participants expressed that often their healthcare providers often went above and beyond their professional obligation. Another finding from the study indicated that participants valued the health care services available within the Shuswap community.

One of the primary struggles for participants was the overwhelming number of appointments that they had to attend; for example, it was not uncommon for participants to have three to five medical appointments per week. This ranged from diagnostic appointments, specialist appointments, regular family doctor appointment, and treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.

Participants found it exhausting and suggested that their quality of life and quality of care would greatly improve if medical treatment was more coordinated.

Adjusting infants

Adjusting a newborn baby in my office always gathers a crowd of intrigued adult patients who want to watch this gentle procedure. They also always have questions about why such a tiny newborn would need to be checked by a chiropractor.

There are a number of reasons why we assess and adjust babies; the main reason is simply the forces involved in even an uncomplicated, natural birth can be traumatic to the infant’s spine and cranium.

This trauma may adversely

affect their rapidly developing nervous system and interfere with their future health.

Another reason is most hospital deliveries include unnecessary trauma to newborns. The usual procedures such as anesthesia, positioning of the mother, and a fearful environment all contribute to increased risks of complications and then can result in more invasive, traumatic births. The startling increase in c-section deliveries in North America is a good indicator that these routine procedures are

not resulting in safer, less invasive deliveries. The other misconception is that c-section deliveries place less stress on baby’s heads and spine, when in actual fact the opposite is true because the mother’s uterine muscles are not assisting the delivery process.

Further, if forceps or vacuum are used in delivery, significantly more stress will be placed on the baby, which, in turn, subluxates their spine.

Especially for c-section babies, I always will do cranio-sacral therapy in order to assist in cranial molding that did not occur from the natural passage through the vaginal canal.

I believe ALL babies should be checked by a chiropractor qualified in the assessment of babies. Ensuring a subluxation-free (stress free) spine, cranium, and nervous system from the first days of life will help them develop into healthy, vibrant little people.

Bee populations threatened

Friday, June 5, 2015 Lakeshore News A5

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

June is cat month

three-quarters of all kittens born outside will die before their first birthday,” says BC SPCA general manager of community relations Lorie Chortyk. “It’s not a safe place for them out there, with frostbite, mites, traffic and predatory wildlife to contend with. Pet guardians must realize that they can actually save lives by having their cat spayed or neutered.”

Wearing the BC SPCA-issue cat ears is a fun and light-hearted way to draw attention to this issue.

Check out this week’s kind act at millionacts.ca to find out more.

Million Acts of Kindness is a year-long initiative devoted to promoting acts of kindness and compassion towards companion animals, farm animals and wildlife. A different act is featured each week, something everyone can do, regardless of age or their ability own pets. The acts are tallied and updated monthly and include acts of kindness for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals carried out by the BC SPCA. Sign up now at millionacts.ca and share the link with your family and friends. If one kind act can change the life of an animal forever, imagine what a million acts will do!

June is Cat Awareness month and animal lovers around the province are donning their cat ears in support of their feline friends.

Animal lovers are encouraged to order their cat ears from the BC SPCA online store at shop.spca.bc. ca or pick up a pair (by donation) from their local SPCA branch now and then wear them, take pictures of them and share them on social media the week of June

3rd. The initiative is designed to raise awareness about the province’s cat overpopulation problem, an issue the BC SCPA is determined to overcome.

“There are still too many cats and not enough homes for all of them. If they’re abandoned or left outside to roam, they will reproduce. But over

VANCOUVER – May 29th marked the Day of the Honey Bee in British Columbia. Started by Saskatchewan beekeeper Clinton Ekdahl in 2009 to draw attention to the plight of the honey bee, the Day of the Honey Bee is now celebrated in BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and over 100 municipalities across Canada.

For almost two decades, honey bees and wild pollinators such as bumble bees have suffered startling declines and massive “die-offs,” both in Canada and around the world. Overwintering honey bee losses in Canada have averaged almost 26 per cent for the last eight years, which is significantly above the 10 to 15 per cent overwintering losses that are deemed acceptable to beekeepers.

Multiple factors have contributed to honey bee and wild pollinator declines – including climate change, monoculture, loss of habitat, disease and mites – but it is the use of neonicotinoids (neonics), a potent class of pesticides, that has been increasingly implicated in bee declines. These pesticides can kill and paralyze bees in minute doses; by weight neonics are up to 10,000 times more toxic than DDT. “The most important thing we can do to celebrate the honey bee in BC and across Canada is

Funds needed to neuter feral cats

By Janet Pattinson The issue of too many cats and not enough homes is something the BC SPCA is addressing as part of its current Strategic Plan. Of particular concern are the numbers of feral or free-roaming cats.

Thanks to the generosity of animal lovers and supporters who planned ahead and designated legacies particularly for spay/ neuter, several communities are now getting help in solving the cat overpopulation problem. Grants have been awarded to BC SPCA branches and outside animal welfare groups. Such grants go directly to covering the cost of spay/neuter surgeries and permanent identification for more than 1200 cats and dogs in our province.

Free-roaming cats suffer from starvation, illness, injury, freezing temperatures and predator attacks.

DISPLAY AD DEADLINE Tuesday at 12 noon

Preventing unwanted litters of kittens through spaying and neutering is the most effective and humane approach to solving the problem.

A total of $70,000 from several legacies will go to nearly 800 cats helped by many partner charities and nonprofit organizations. Amongst the 13

community. So far about half of the money has been raised.

These donations are kept separate from the fundraising for branch operations. There are two ways to help: contact branch manager, Shelly Hand, about your interest in helping, or donate on the TNR Gofundme page.

community groups receiving grants is our own Shuswap branch of the BC SPCA. In particular, the grant is provided to work with three caretakers of three different colonies of feral cats in the area to Trap-NeuterRelease 50 cats. To complete this project the branch must raise $1000 from the local

to ban the pesticides that are killing them,” said Gwen Barlee, Policy Director with the Wilderness Committee. “Neonicotinoid pesticides were designed to kill insects at tiny doses, so it is no surprise they are killing bees left, right and centre.”

According to Paul van Westendorp, the province’s head apiarist, recent annual honey bee colony losses in BC have ranged from a high of 60 per cent in 2007 to a low of 18 per cent in 2013. Last year, BC colonies suffered an overwintering loss of 22 per cent.

“Bees are responsible for every one in three bites of food we eat, and both a healthy environment and agricultural system depend on thriving bees and wild pollinators,” said Barlee.

“Neonics are deadly bee-killing pesticides, and the BC government needs to do what’s right for bees by banning these dangerous pesticides.”

Neonicotinoid pesticides are the most widely used pesticides in the world. After a series of catastrophic bee kills, Ontario has enacted policies to heavily reduce neonicotinoid usage on corn and soybean crops. In BC, neonics are used on a variety of food crops including blueberries, cherries, apples and corn. Howard Vangool photo.

THERE IS NO NEED TO SUFFER FROM ARTHRITIS I met a senior woman and her daughter in Walmart on Tuesday, seniors’ appreciation day, when free coffee and cookies are served at the entrance from 9 to 2. Not having seen her for a long time, I asked how she was feeling. Her arthritis was bothering her. I asked if she’s been to a health food store. Yes, she went there recently and was advised to take a certain supplement, and to cut out her pain pills except for one at noon. It’s starting to help, she said. Her left elbow feels better.

EAT GREENS AND MORE GREENS FOR ARTHRITIS I went right to Shuswap Health Foods in Piccadilly and asked what I could tell my readers that would ease their arthritis symptoms. Manfred, a tall German fellow who works Mondays and Tuesdays, said they must eat greens, greens and more greens, preferably organic, and the rawer, the better. They have sodium, potassium, calcium, minerals and magnesium which the body needs. If it doesn’t get them, the body takes them out of tissues and bones, causing lots of inflammatory diseases and loss of bone density.

Manfred stresses that people with arthritis must NOT eat processed, pre-packaged foods. They can eat just a little meat, the kind with no chemicals or preservatives.

Manfred was a pharmacist in Germany. Moving to Canada, he worked 12 years as vitamin manager at Vernon’s Nature’s Fare. He retired again and he and his wife moved to Salmon Arm. He’s been at Shuswap Health Foods for three years.

SALMON ARM IS WHERE A MAN WANTS TO LIVE A senior man from Saskatchewan wanted to get away from prairie winters so he spent some time at the coast.

On his drive home he looked for an ideal place to live and found it in Salmon Arm. He tore out my rental classified ad for a one-bedroom apartment and tucked it in his wallet. The other day he took it out and phoned me from his rental place in Canora, Sask. where he pays $450 and asked if I have an apartment available. I don’t. Canora used to be 80 per cent Ukrainian so we switched to our mother tongue and I said I’ll see what I can find for him in that price range. If you have a place, call Ed at 306563-9915.

ARE YOU HEALTHY? ARE YOU HAPPY? A man sat across the table from me at the library in Piccadilly, in the newspaper section. He looked at me and said: “You’re the lady who writes…” I said yes, I’m Sally. He said: “I’m 85.” We both laughed because we knew he had read that I’m planning to end my life at age 85, although I’m tending to move it to 90.

On his being 85, I said “That’s great! Are you healthy?”

He smiled broadly and said: “Yes!” “Are you happy?” “No,” he replied. “My wife died.”

I PAID TOO MUCH TO GET ON DISABILITY This letter was sent to me by Susan Grimes: “I am writing to advise you that H&R Block in Salmon Arm will help people with obtaining the disability tax credit with CRA and have been doing so for the past 30 years. You unfortunately paid a fee of 30% of your refund to a Victoria company which amounted to $2231.70 for which we would have charged $240. Quite a difference. I am sure that most tax preparation companies and accountants would do the same. Can you please advise your readers that they needn’t use this Victoria company and pay that high fee?”

SALMAR GIVES SECOND HARVEST FREE RENT Patty Munro, chair of the Salmar Community Association, called me to say that in last week’s column I listed the groups that assist the Second Harvest in providing free food at its food bank, but I didn’t mention the Salmar. The Salmar gives Second Harvest free rent on the lower floor of the Salmar Classic Theatre and charges a small amount for utilities. Second Harvest has been upgrading its fridges and freezers because the old ones used too much electricity, and because the volunteers couldn’t take a chance on some of them quitting if they had food in them that would spoil.

If you have extra food to be distributed to people who are hungry, or you wish to make a donation for purchase of perishable groceries, contact Diana Mangold, Second Harvest coordinator, at 250-833-4011. www.shuswapsecondharvest.ca. The website has the days of the week and times when volunteers are there to accept donations.

THREE YOUNG PEOPLE’S MAGNIFICENT EVENTS ROYAL CANADIAN AIR CADETS, 222 Shuswap Squadron held its 22nd annual ceremonial review at Shaw Centre on May 27th. The reviewing officer was RCMP Cst. Cara Volz. The cadets were so proud that evening! Commander of the flag party was Sgt. Rebekah Pikkarainen. She was just learning how to walk when her family spent many hours every week, inserting flyers into Lakeshore News in rented space in the industrial park.

GALA CONCERT AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, organized

by Andrew Stoney, director of music at the church, was fabulous. Many young people entertained on instruments and voice, and a few selections were by adults. The applause after each selection was enthusiastic. All money donated at the Friday and Sunday concerts was given to a rep from the women’s emergency shelter at the end of each performance.

OKANAGAN UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL in Vernon on Sunday afternoon was outstanding! Ukrainian dancers in colourful costumes at the Performing Arts Centre were Sadok from Vernon, Dolyna from Kelowna, and Pokotillo from Kamloops. A special treat were dancers from the Argyll School of Performing Arts. Sadok in Vernon incorporates a Ukrainian cultural program every Saturday so that its dancers can learn Ukrainian traditions. www.sadok.net THIS WEEKEND, SEE 22 KIDS IN CHILDREN’S THEATRE South Shuswap Children’s Theatre will have two performances in Salmon Arm’s Shuswap Theatre this weekend, Sat., June 6 at 6:30 p.m. and Sun., June 7 at 2 p.m. The children’s theatre, with a cast of 22 children aged six to 14 will present “A Grimm Night For Hans Christian Andersen”

by Sue Gordon, and directed by Elizabeth Ann Skelhorne.

The group had its first performance in Blind Bay on May 30. See photos at www.ssctf.com. Tickets available at The Candy Vault in Salmon Arm, Steamers Coffee Shop in Blind Bay, or by calling 250-463-4536.

ENDERBY GAS IS NO LONGER THE CHEAPEST For many years, the Super Save gas station in Enderby had the lowest gas price around. The other gas stations had to compete by charging the same as the Splatsin First Nation. Now that Splatsin’s gas station is an Esso, it is probably told what to charge. Of course, First Nations people with a band number, like my daughter, do not have to pay tax on purchases on Indian land, so they get cheap gas at every First Nations’ gas station.

PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG ON TRAILS Why is it that dog owners who walk their dogs along well-used trails do not carry a plastic bag or two and pick up their dog’s poop? If you are one of those people, why should those coming after you have to step in it because you are not a responsible dog owner? There are solutions: put up signs reminding people to pick up after their dogs, or ban dogs from popular trails.

BARKING DOGS IRRITATE NEIGHBOURS The last few years, there seem to be more dogs with irresponsible owners moving to Salmon Arm. The owners do not seem to notice that the continual barking spoils the relaxation of neighbours who are sitting in lawn chairs in back yards. Some of these neighbours have lived there for 15 to 20 years and do not want to move.

A suggestion: write a letter to the city’s bylaw enforcement officer because the barking is disturbing the peace.

Give the description of the dog(s), where they live, and the hours of barking. Give your name and address and your experience over this noise. Get your neighbours to write also. Download a complaint form from www.salmonarm.ca, drag down city services, then development services, and go to bylaw enforcement.

PAUL WINKLER SUED CONRAD BLACK AND CRONIES AFTER HE WAS FIRED I appreciated Paul Winkler’s guidance and negotiating skills when I bought Shuswap Sun in 1997. It was rare that a small independently owned newspaper bought a newspaper from a giant chain.

A book has just been released about a newspaper battle in Kelowna when Conrad Black and his cronies wanted to own both the paid daily and the free paper. They asked Paul Winkler, whose office was at Capital News, to co-operate. He refused, and was fired. He took them to court and after a long battle, won.

His wife wrote a book about their experience moving from Ontario to Kelowna, and then back. When asked by an interviewer on CHBC-TV, Mary Lynn said she wrote the book so their four children would know their father’s story, how he stood up to notorious media bosses and stayed true to his values and principles. The book is available through Okanagan Library. A Costly Stand by Mary Lynn McCauley Winkler. It can also be purchased from the Winklers: pwinkler@vaxxine.com or 905-892-9582.

Loonie June for the food bank

The Second Harvest Food Bank asks that every family in Salmon Arm donate just one loonie during the month of June. This Loonie June Fundraiser is a tremendous help for the food bank to be able to help the less fortunate families in this community.

Bean counting

It seems the Junior Bean Counter’s obsessive need to sell stuff to raise money is beginning to wear off on his little brother. This is all the more dangerous as our youngest, Nate, has the most obsessive personality to start with.

A couple months ago Nate started asking if he could get a certain hockey stick. From my perspective, all of these things cost too much money. However, my policy has always been that I would contribute a set amount of money towards these things, and if they wanted a more expensive version of it, then they would have to be willing to use their own money to pay the difference. In saying that, my wife and I also won’t let them spend their own money unreasonably.

After telling him how much he needed to come up with, he has been looking for loose change in every nook and cranny. He has also started taking inventory of everything in his room and for that matter, the house, because in his mind it all can be sold to raise money for a hockey stick.

The other day he wanted to sell his Salmon Arm 100-year commemorative coin for three dollars to my wife. She simply laughed it off, but later discovered our second oldest paid him 25 cents for it. Nothing like an older brother to take advantage of a desperate younger brother.

After some discussion we had it sorted out and Nate returned the 25 cents to his brother and got his Salmon Arm coin back. I am not sure what my 13-year-old was going to do with it, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see him sell it back to his little brother two weeks from now for three dollars. Not a bad return on an investment!

Again, the obsessive need for Lego around Christmastime tends to be an easy target for sale a few months later. I keep waiting for marbles and old trophies (even those of other family members) to hit the sale bin. Perhaps if he is desperate enough, we’ll see a price tag on Duma!

I also told him I would give him a couple

By Jill Goward Starting and running a business of any kind, large or small, in an area the size of Sorrento is a challenge, to say the least. And when it comes to advertising that business there are extra challenges. Ads in print such as flyers, once read then thrown into the recycling, the message quickly leaves the memory. On the radio, ads tend to be missed entirely or simply soon forgotten. The cost of television advertising is out of reach for most businesses and, if not repeated over and over, information is simply not retained.

But with visual hands-on exposure to a business, the chances are that the name will stick, the product will be remembered, and the service will be recalled readily for future use.

Therefore, Notch Hill Town Hall Association is hosting a Business Expo and Trade Show in September or October with the purpose of offering a platform to the many businesses in the area, especially those who do not have actual bricks-and-mortar storefronts.

Manufacturers, landscapers, special occasion hosts, contractors, caterers, realtors, financial planners, cheese-makers, furniture builders, suppliers of hardware or health foods and much, much more, are invited to take place in this special event. You will have nothing to lose, just plenty of exposure to gain.

There will be a small charge for booths inside the hall and even space offered to out-door exhibitors. The date and fees will be announced at a later time but for now we would like an idea of who would be interested in taking part in this

unique opportunity. We would all like to see our local businesses thrive and be there for us for years to come.

Remember, your business is like a wheelbarrow – it only moves when it’s pushed!

Please call 250-253-5404 or 250-463-3298 for more information.

Emergency plan

The White Lake Residents Association will be hosting a public information meeting with the CSRD Shuswap Emergency Preparedness Program.

This meeting will cover all the steps needed to create a local Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness Plan.

Program Coordinator Cliff Doherty and Program Director Bill Crozier will offer a comprehensive detailed view of, and assistance with, how to create a Neighbourhood Emergency Response Plan.

White Lake Residents are encouraged to attend and participate with this important measure of community safety. Everyone is welcome; if you are from another community, take home the information and start your own plan to assist during a disaster event. Don’t wait for one–be ready for one.

This session takes place Wednesday, June 10 at the White Lake Community Hall. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the proceedings begin at 7:00 p.m. For more information, call 250-833-5927.

All of this has again allowed us to teach him about money–everything from earning to saving to giving to charity. This has conveniently coincided with a “money/savings” unit his class has also been doing at school too; so the kid is being bombarded with how to organize his finances.

It’s all good, as long as we can keep him from selling everything in the house, and in particular, Duma. So, please let me know if you see a kid trying to sell a cute cat and is willing to throw in some Lego to complete the deal!

A life of travel

Lucy Moffat has a glass trophy on display in her living room with a globe on top. It was given to her from Wells Gray Tours, celebrating the fact she has travelled to the seven continents of the world.

“They also gave me a gift certificate toward my next trip,” she says smiling. Lucy plans to spend it on the 2016 Wells Gray trip to Dubai and Singapore.

Newfoundland in a green camper van,” she says, laughing at the memory. She and Bruce travelled a little around the States and up to Alaska. Then their trip to New Zealand in 1983 ended tragically.

“Bruce was in a left-handed men’s golf tournament. He died in his bed of a massive heart attack. I was traumatized, it just about did me in. I was 47 and he was eight days off his 50th birthday.”

The next year Lucy was invited by Jewish friends to join them on a Greek cruise and then to stay on a kibbutz in Israel for a month. She had a wonderful time seeing the world and meeting new people. A few years later, she was invited to go with her friends to Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and back to Israel. She went back a few more times, sometimes extending their tours to other counties including Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

In the meantime she met another On her trip to the Galapagos Islands, Lucy saw Blue Footed Boobies, man, Delbert Davis, an American (above) and penguins (below). ex-serviceman who was living in Canada.

She has over a dozen large photo albums that document her travels. She has close-up photos of African lions, to the splendours of Europe and the Orient, to majestic Antarctic icebergs.

“We were in an open jeep,” she says, going through the photos of Africa. “That lion just finished eating a buffalo–see, that’s what’s left (pointing to a picture of skeletal remains); that’s why we could get that close.”

Being a world traveller wasn’t really in her mind growing up in Vancouver. Born on January 24, 1936, Lucy was one of two daughters. At the age of 16, she went to work at BC Tel as a switchboard operator, eventually becoming an information operator and doing some bookkeeping work for the company.

In 1955 she married ‘the boy next door,’ Bruce Moffat. A few years later they moved to Burnaby in hopes of starting a family.

Because they couldn’t have children, they eventually adopted a girl, Cathy, and a boy, Bill. Bruce had his own company, S&P Distributers, that distributed all In Africa, Lucy took a picture of a lounging lion who had just eaten a buffalo. the Vancouver Sun and Province newspapers throughout Vancouver.

In 2009 Lucy went to Hawaii with her sister. The next year she was again with Wells Gray, traveling around Europe: Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

“In 2011 I didn’t go anywhere, I was recovering from Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer and I spent six months in chemo.”

She was, of course, ready to make up for her year off by taking two trips the next year. She took a Wells Gray tour to France and also did the French Riviera, as well as going to Cuba.

“In 2012 Wells Gray celebrated their 40th anniversary, and we did an Alaska Cruise on Holland America.”

The next year she took the tour to Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Hungary. Last year she stayed on this side of world, flying to Ottawa and then taking a train to Quebec. The tour then went to Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Boston and New York. This past February she went to the Southern Caribbean.

Needless to say, she loves Wells Gray Tours. They all know her well, and she considers them old friends. She can’t pick a favourite place or trip, because she says they’re all so different and wonderful in their own way.

Travel has been an important part of her life and has clearly kept her very young.

“I’ve met lots of nice people and every place is interesting, but it’s hard to find a place better than this,” she says, looking at her view over Shuswap Lake.

Get tough on invasive species The province of British Columbia has officially proclaimed June 2015 as Invasive Species Action Month.

The Columbia Shuswap Invasive Species Society (CSISS) is taking part in a number of free, family-friendly events throughout the region, including workshops, weed pulls, farmers’ markets, fishing derbies, festivals and school presentations at Begbie View, Columbia Park, and Lady Grey Elementary and Salmon Arm Secondary School.

Invasive Species Action Month is about increasing awareness of the harmful effects of invasive plants and animals, preventing their introduction and highlighting our native biodiversity.

“Invasive species threaten our environment, economy and society, including human health,” says Program Assistant Laura Gaster.

“Prevention is key when dealing

with invasives. By learning to identify plant and animal species and spreading awareness to others, each and every person can make a positive difference in our community.”

Learn which plants and animals are invasive in your community and how to stop their spread by visiting the CSISS website: www.columbiashuswapinvasives.org; and find out about local events at http:// invasivespeciesweek.com/newsevents/.

For more information or to book a presentation, please contact info@ columbiashuswapinvasives.org.

Beat the heat – for free

If I told you I could show you how to reduce the temperature in the rooms in your home by at least 10 degrees without fans, air conditioning or opening (or closing) the doors and window treatments, and without having the lights off would you be interested? If I could show you how to reduce that temperature by an additional 10 degrees, would you think I’m nuts?

I can do it. All the things I say here have been proven, not once or twice, but through several studies. I’ll post the links on the website.

80 degrees is hot, but it’s livable. 100 degrees – not so much. You can reduce your perception of the temperature by 10-20 degrees if you wear a light-coloured natural fibre fabric in a woven cloth. Your heart rate will decrease, your skin temperature will drop and so will your blood pressure. On the other hand, wear polyester or nylon and you get none of these benefits and may actually perceive the temperature to be higher than it is, because these fibres don’t allow as much air circulation. (Yes, I know there are some man-made performance fabrics that don’t act this way, but few of us have these in our everyday lives.)

One of the key points here is woven fabric.

T-shirts are not woven fabric; they are knits.

Woven fabric has one thread going one way and one going another way (in the simplest form), with small air pockets in between. A dress shirt is made of a woven fabric. Knits are several threads twisted around each other to form a fabric much thicker than the woven counterpart. A sweater is a knit; a T-shirt is a thin sweater. A polyester blouse may be wrinkle-free, but you pay for that with heat perception. Best solutions are short-sleeved, loose-fitting lightweight cotton or linen shirts with no collars.

There’s the first 10 degrees.

The second 10 degrees comes from the colours in your home. Yup. Rooms with colour schemes from the cool side of the colour wheel – greens

and blues – are perceived to be 10-15 degrees cooler than rooms coloured from the warm side of the colour wheel. If you don’t want to change your colour scheme with the seasons, fool your eyes by using blue or green-coloured everyday items: drinking glasses, placemats, your housecoat, your bath towels, sheets or even a collection of blue flowers on the coffee table. Don’t believe me? Think of a blue-walled north-facing room with a blizzard raging outside. Or a south-facing room with red walls at mid-day.

Sunday September 20, 2015

After moving from Manitoba to British Columbia, Ted Whitehead met and married Eileen.

They spent some time on the coast then made their home in Sicamous in March of 1961. They raised their 6 children and became involved in many community activities.

Ted finally retired from his varied business adventures which included construction, logging, house building, mechanic shop, gas station and steel fabrication, at the age of 72. Ted & Eileen were able to celebrate their 62nd wedding anniversary with their 16 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren. Sadly, Ted Whitehead passed away in January 2015 following a short illness during which he was very well cared for by doctors and staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital. Ted’s family gathered to assist in installing a bronze fish on the Shuswap Hospital Foundation Recognition Wall at the hospital. At the Shuswap Hospital Foundation we are extremely grateful for the generosity of the family of Ted & Eileen Whitehead, and appreciate their support in helping to fund much needed equipment for our Shuswap health facilities.

MLA pension figures released

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) released numbers on Tuesday showing fully one-quarter of the BC Legislature became eligible to collect MLA pensions this month, as MLAs elected in 2009 have hit their six-year service mark.

“It’s a big day for the class of 2009 as they graduate into their new pensions, funded mainly by taxpayers,” said Jordan Bateman, CTF BC Director. “MLAs should be on an RRSP plan, with taxpayers matching contributions at a dollar-for-dollar rate. Why should an elected official have a better pension than anyone else?”

House of Commons, Kwan will begin building a second pension as an MP. Information about two other MLAs was also released by the CTF. The NDP’s Spencer Chandra Herbert was the only MLA elected in 2008. He became eligible for his pension last year. At age 65, he will collect at least $32,365, for a lifetime total of nearly $870,000.

“Already, Jenny Kwan will receive a pension greater than the income of the average B.C. household – plus she can start building an even richer MP pension,” said Bateman.

MLAs become eligible for pensions after six years of service. With

According to calculations done by the CTF, on average, taxpayers contribute $4 to a MLA pension for every $1 the MLA contributes.

The table above lists the first-year pension payouts (age 65) and estimated lifetime totals for the class of 2009.

NDP MLA Jenny Kwan, who is resigning her seat to run federally, is eligible for a $75,820 annual pension at age 65, with a lifetime total of just over $2 million. If elected to the

the class of 2009 having taken office in June 2009, they are now eligible for pensions at age 65 (Retirees can opt to take a reduced amount at age 60).

Pensions are calculated based on an average of the MLA’s three best years of earnings and years of service, meaning cabinet ministers and committee chairs are eligible for larger amounts, as are longer-serving members. Pensions are also indexed to the rate of inflation.

TrailRider tours Raven Trail

Shuswap TrailRider Adaptive Adventure Society partnered with Salmon Arm Recreation, Shuswap Trail Alliance and Salmon Arm Secondary to provide TrailRider rides along the Raven Trail. A total of 12 people with various mobility challenges got to experience the units. The TrailRiders are designed to allow people with mobility challenges to get outdoors and explore the trails. The TrailRiders can handle the gentle trails of the Raven Trail to the more mountainous trails of the Rockies. The TrailRiders have “sherpas” to power the unit along the trail. The Salmon Arm

Secondary School Girls Soccer Team coached by Tricia Martin and Liz Mair provided the “girl power” for this try-it experience.

The TrailRiders can be borrowed from the Society for a nominal fee.

Debra McDonald, the founder of the Society is encouraging all those interested to contact her to find out how families and individuals can take advantage of these units. For more information call Debra at 250-832-1353. Pictured below: Sutra enjoys a ride along Raven Trail in a TrailRider powered by the SAS Girls’ Soccer Team. Photo contributed.

The Shuswap FC U12 girls notched two wins against Kamloops Orange and Kamloops Blue on Sunday in front of a home crowd at Little Mountain. In the first match of the day versus Kamloops O, the Sharp Shooters set the tone early by making it 1-0 in the first five minutes of play. Centre midfielder Phoebe Barnes sent the ball out wide to winger Jordan King who passed the ball to Lys Milne who slotted the ball in the back of the net. Fifteen minutes later, Kamloops responded with a goal of their own making the score 1-1. Seconds later, after a series of give and go’s, King passed the ball to speedy Braidy Parkes who blasted the ball in the back of the net making it 2-1. Shuswap defenders Laura hall, Brooklyn Davidson and Janae Bocking were impenetrable in the second half and the final score was 2-1 for Shuswap. Julia Hart and Parkes who shared goal keeping duties were outstanding.

In the second match of the day, Shuswap came out strong, maintained possession and made crisp and concise passes against an aggressive Kamloops squad. Hall and Barnes controlled the middle of the field and continued to feed the Shuswap forwards. The Shuswap strikers peppered the Kamloops keeper with shots but she was able to hold them off and both teams were scoreless at half. Shuswap continued to pressure the goal and were rewarded early in the second half when King deked out a Kamloops defender and passed the ball to striker Alana O’Dell who finished with a beautiful shot. The final score was 1-0. Parkes and Hart shared the shutout.

Improv groups duke it out

On Saturday, June 20, Laughing Gas Improv, representing Shuswap Lake (Salmon Arm), and Monkey With a Button, representing Swan Lake (Vernon), will compete in hilarious rounds of improv games with the audience as the judges.

Improv theatre is based upon a wide variety of games and exercises in which the actors must make it up as they go along. A group might be given, for example, a series of elements (say a comb, a nutcracker and a volleyball net) that must be incorporated in a story. They then act it out spontaneously with no planning. The actors have to think on their feet and respond appropriately to what the others are doing and saying. The result will be the ache in your sides

from laughing so hard.

This show will be in memory of founding Laughing Gas Troupe member, Patrick Allwood, who passed away on May 20. He will be remembered for his wonderful laugh and characters.

The battle goes down at Shuswap Theatre, 41 Hudson Ave NW starting at 7:30 p.m. with doors open at 6:30 p.m. No Host Beer and Wine is available before the show and at intermission. No kids please – it’s rated Mature, for ages 16 and over.

Tickets are $9 and available online, at Intwined Fibre Arts on Hudson Ave., Salmon Arm, or at the door. For more information contact Monica at 250-833-6100 or email monicakriese@gmail.com

Bluegrass workshops planned

Quilts donated to charities

Last Wednesday, the Shuswap Quilters’ Guild presented 25 quilts to Marilyn Kalke, Resident Coordinator of the Salmon Arm Women’s Shelter; and Cheryl Ashe, liaison with the RCMP Victim Services. The estimated value of the donation was approxi-

mately $5,000.

One Chance

Back by popular demand! We’ll be closing our season with One Chance, starring James Corden.

Paul Potts, a chubby shy shop assistant who grew up in Wales, had been a victim of bullying all his life. The resulting lack of confidence, broken bones, and many other unforeseen circumstances get in the way of his ultimate dream to be an opera singer. But through it all, Paul saves up to go to opera school in Venice and eventually gets a chance to sing for Pavarotti himself. But when Paul must return home, he cannot shake his desire to follow his dreams and enters Britain’s Got Talent reality TV contest.

This uplifting rags-to-riches true story was a favourite of the festival and is not to be missed.

There will also be a surprise thank you gift for our attending audience.

One Chance shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 6 at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Patricia Stoller

JONES, John Christopher

It is with a heavy heart I announce the passing of Patricia Stoller on October 6, 2014 at Bastion Place, Salmon Arm. She lost her battle with congestive heart failure.

April 10, 1933 – May 25, 2015

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother on May 25, 2015 at the age of 82 years.

Patricia was born in Creston, BC on July 1, 1928.

Her parents were Jim Handley and Mary Brett, also born in Creston. She spent her younger years in the Kootenay Valley Area, Creston, Cranbrook, and Windermere, where she lived with a Swiss family; at the age of 12 she met her future husband, Robert Stoller. Robert’s family had come to Canada from Switzerland.

Patricia moved to Vancouver at the age of 18, becoming a beautician and Robert a service tech for Dueck’s. They were married on June 24, 1950.

In 1951 they had a daughter, Elaine. They stayed at the coast until 1958 when they moved back to Windermere where Robert was a logger with his brothers. Patricia was a stay at home mom.

Over the years they moved briefly to Golden and Revelstoke before finally moving to Sicamous.

For over 30 years, Patricia has been a resident of Sicamous, first with Robert, then as a widow.

She was the last living Elder, and is survived by her daughter, Elaine, also living in Sicamous. She is an aunt to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations of the extended family.

There will be a celebration of life for Patricia in the summer of 2015 where we can celebrate her life and not mourn her death. She is at peace now and can rest, and start her new journey. There will be an announcement later with time and location of the celebration of life for all who would like to attend. In loving Memory of my Mom. Online condolences may be sent to Patricia’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home & Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

John loved to camp, fish, grow flowers and play cards. His love of children led to his coaching little league baseball; allowing car motors to be rebuilt in his garage, pick-up trucks to be washed on his front lawn and musical instruments to be played in his basement with his pool table being used as a music stand. After retiring he spend much of his time creating woodworking projects for his family.

John enjoyed people, jokes and a good laugh; and the family home was usually filled with friends and laughter.

The family would like to thank Dr. McClelland and Dr. Levins for their special care and encouragement during his long fight with COPD. At John’s request no service will be held, however, friends are invited to the family home at 2435 – 5th Ave. NE, Salmon Arm for a gathering in his memory, on Saturday, June 6, 2015 from 1:00 4:00 pm.

Ruth Christine Nadrozny (Lundquist) 1928 - 2015

On Friday, May 22, 2015 Ruth Christine Nadrozny passed away at Salmon Arm, BC at the age of 86 years. She was born June 2, 1928 in Merritt, BC. Ruth married Frank Nadrozny at Enderby in 1950 where they resided in Ashton Creek for 40 years. She was a member of the Eastern Star and Riverside Ladies Club and worked as homemaker and volunteer for Shuswap Hospice Society. Hardworking, kind, compassionate, and humble only begin to describe her.

She was a child magnet, all children were drawn to her. Cook extraordinaire, she could feed a house full of people on very short notice. Farm girl, she could milk a cow faster than most. Green thumb gardener.

She preferred to be in the background rather than the centre of attention. Loved by all who knew her. She looked for the good in everything and had a great sense of humour.

She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her children: Brian (Bonnie), Sue (Bruce), Marilyn (Jim), Allen (Sue), and Colin (Amie); grandchildren: Kristi, Riley, Mitchell, Caesy, Samantha, Brady, Ember, and Oakley; great grandchildren: Nixon, Sylver, Axl, and Jeremy; and sister: Mary Widmark. Predeceased by her husband Frank; brothers: Alf, Hank, and Hilding; and grandson Tanner.

A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00pm on Thursday, June 11, 2015 at the Seniors Complex (1101 George Street, Enderby, BC).

The digital age

In this age of computer wizardry, there is always a new app, or buzzword, like ‘hashtag,’ etc, that folks use for communication. Stopping in a few weeks ago at the Tappen Coop for one of their delicious ice cream cones, I observed a group of teenage girls enjoying their cones and tweeting each other without a word spoken. Waiting for a friend to depart on a flight from the Kelowna airport recently, I couldn’t help notice how many heads were down and fingers tapping on tiny keyboards, or just texting without speaking a word.

Seems to me we’re losing touch with our fellow man. Why, some of us with silver in our hair can recall sitting in our elementary school classroom and practicing our O’s U’s and R’s in our scribblers from the “McLean Method of

Writing,” and from that time period, many of us still have beautiful handwriting!

I was sitting at a fellow hunter’s home, and Bob decided to Skype a buddy over in Grand Forks. This chap was tying bucktail flies at his kitchen table for Shuswap Lake. We both watched as Bob and he spoke about fishing, but also telling him he ties a real lousy fly. I can’t repeat what he told Bob, but, as eight deer appeared in the window behind where he sat, browsing grass and shrubs, I couldn’t help but think of my fishery officer days, and of our secretary Linda Rivard, poking her head through my office door just a bit to remind me that I had to catch up on filing, office work, or reports. We had just implemented a new C-pick system to

shuswapoutdoors catch bad guys with fisheries violations across Canada, and in an instant, we could bring up the name of an individual, see if he/she had past violations, and tie these in with the charge they may face here in the Shuswap.

As Earl Bloom and I belong to the Sport Fishing Advisory Board, we sit at the fishery offices in Kamloops every three months to recommend openings and closures, for in-stream salmon populations coming to Interior spawning streams. Stock strength of certain runs, both past and present, and First Nations commercial catch, angler catch totals, as well as future openings, for example, a very large pink salmon run to the Thompson River in 2015, providing a good opening for anglers. Sitting in on these meetings are fishery officers, biol-

by Hank Shelley ogists, and representatives from fish and game clubs, from Barriere to Logan lake, Kamloops, and Salmon Arm, and clubs in between. The officers, and those charged with duties within the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, such as the aboriginal fishery/sport fishery/habitat, have large workloads, often peppered with long words, and so they go to the use of acronyms, many of which we know and sometimes love.

At a recent meeting, we were handed a spreadsheet with the latest meanings, so here goes: AABM - aggregate abundance-based management. ADM - assistant deputy minister. CCTAC - total Canadian allowable catch. COSEWICCommittee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. CTC - Chinook technical committee.

ESSR-excess salmon to spawning requirement.

FRAM - fishery regulation assessment model/ fisheries resource allocation model. FSC - food social ceremony. FTNO-Federal Treaty Negotiation Office. The list goes on and on–a two page document of acronyms to support the office work.

As fishery officers, we also had to upgrade our computer skills from time to time, but now to all those silver surfers out there, that do have issues with their computers, here’s a real cute story sent to me by a close friend/hunter/angler Julian.

I was having trouble with my computer yesterday, he said, so I called Georgie the 11-year-old kid from next door to come over. His bedroom looks like Mission Control. Georgie clicked a couple of buttons, and solved the problem. As he was leaving, I called after him, “So what was wrong?” He replied, “It was an ‘ID ten T’ error.”

I didn’t want to appear stupid, but nonetheless, I inquired what in heck was an ‘ID ten T error,’ in case I needed to fix it again. Georgie grinned, “Haven’t you heard of an ID ten T error”? “No,” I replied. He said, “Write it down, and I’m sure you’ll figure it out! So I wrote it down. IDIOT. I used to like Georgie!

On to other matters and concerns regarding fish and wildlife issues...

There will be an important meeting coming up regarding the future of motorized power boats on the Shuswap River in Enderby and Lumby next week: Enderby Drill Hall – Wed. Jun. 10, 5:30– 7:30 p.m.

Mabel Lake Hall (Lumby end) Thurs. Jun. 11, 5:30–7:30 p.m.

A number of years ago, the subject had come up about speed restrictions, due to conflict between tube users, paddlers, and power boats.

With the now-imposed restriction of motors on Gardom Lake, this meeting is sure to be a heated one.

Fishing report: Big Shuswap Lake is doing well for those anglers chasing big rainbows.

Most fry are near the Narrows and Wild Rose Bay. Trolling small bucktails/apex in blue/silver/ green will work. Phillips Lake: report last week of some fair catches. Trolled leech working as is chironomids. Harper Lake above Chase is producing smaller trout on trolled fly. Check with your local tackle shop for more information.

Tip: Save odd lengths of old lead core line – it’s ideal for wrapping around sinkers for use of small baits and nymphs. Next time you change lines on a spinning reel, take a moment to buff some hard wax on the lip of the spool. Autobody wax works. It’ll let the line peel off smoothly when casting.

Please be safe on our waters while boating and take extra care while driving to your favourite camping spot with our increasing summer traffic!
