SALMON ARM

250-832-3177 OPEN DAILY 10 AM - 9 PM 5980 TRANS CANADA HWY NE, SALMON ARM

Gardom Lake is something of a hidden treasure. It’s not as busy as the bigger lakes with their longer sandy shorelines but it is a lovely swimming lake and a favourite with canoeists and kayakers, birders and naturalists. It’s quiet and peaceful and big enough for an afternoon of paddling around.

The lake also features several floating docks and an island with short interpretive trails. The Interpretive

trail has old growth trees, wildflowers, bird viewing (Bald Eagles, Common Loon, and RedNecked Grebe), and Western Painted Turtles. There are trails on the two islands in the lake, along the shoreline, and across the road from the park. The day use park features picnic tables, outhouses, and a playground.

To get there: Drive east of Salmon Arm on Hwy 1, turn south

on Hwy 97B and drive approx.

15.8 km to Gardom Lake Rd, and then turn right. Travel 3.5 km and

turn left onto Park Rd. Go 0.7 km to the park entrance and parking area on the left.

Historic buildings of downtown Salmon Arm

This spring Salmon Arm officially turned 110 years old. Of course, the First Nations were here thousands of years before that, but it was on May 4, 1905 that Salmon Arm was officially incorporated.

who designed the parliament buildings in Ottawa.”

The Merchant Block (118-148 Lakeshore Dr.) was constructed in 1929.

The Community Heritage Register states this whole block is an enduring testament to the “resiliency of the city” because it was opened in June 1929 a mere four months after a fire swept that street.

Further down the road (331 Lakeshore Dr.) you will see the old CPR Railway Station that was built in 1913. In 1990 the CPR ended passenger service in Salmon Arm but the building itself “has value for its nostalgic reminder of rail travel in Salmon Arm.” And if you haven’t had your fill of historic buildings you can stroll up 2nd Ave NE, also known by its historic name of Harris.

There are five houses there built just after the turn of the last century and have been lovingly restored by their owners.

Life-saving devices

For most people, the biggest concern when grocery shopping is how close to the entrance you get to park or whether or not your favourite cookies will be in stock.

If you polled most Canadians, concerns about life-threatening cardiac arrests at the store wouldn’t make the top of their list.

And yet, every seven minutes a Canadian experiences a cardiac arrest and the vast majority of them occur in homes and public places. In December, a shopper at a Calgary Real Canadian Superstore had a cardiac arrest and if not for an on-site Automated External Defibrillator (AED) that delivered a life-saving shock, that afternoon may have been his last.

If a defibrillator is applied to a victim and CPR is begun within the first few minutes of cardiac arrest, the likelihood of survival doubles.

Sadly, emergency response times in Canada often exceed 10 minutes and as the clock ticks, survival rates decline more

than seven percent every minute.

“The Heart and Stroke Foundation wants defibrillators to be as common as fire extinguishers,” says Mike Hoffman, National AED Program Manager for the Foundation. “That way, bystanders can take action immediately, in those vital minutes before emergency help arrives. AEDs are simple to use and foolproof – they talk you through every step.”

To ensure people get the medical assistance they need in a timely manner, some businesses have begun to invest in these life-saving devices.

Loblaw recently announced that more than 630 devices were installed in workplaces, distribution centres and corporate stores across the country.

“We’re glad to see companies like Loblaw making the investment help out their customers and the general public,” says Hoffman.

familychiropractic COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

The best exercise

A very popular form of exercise today is low intensity, long duration physical excursion that usually is done on a treadmill or a similar piece of equipment. Conventional thought has been that this type of exercise is important and effective because it puts your body in the “fat burning zone.” Just look at most commercial gyms today, and you will see the amount of space dedicated to treadmills and elliptical trainers, etc.

However, research is showing this type of physical exercise may not be in our best interest, and may actually negatively affect our health.

Conventional cardio training has been shown to increase cortisol – the stress hormone resulting in decreases in testosterone and growth hormone. This is significant because testosterone and growth hormone are the most important hormones for boosting your metabolism and building lean muscle. Long periods of exercise also is shown to increase inflammation, which is not only painful, but contributes to many different disease processes in the body.

The above facts are also supported when one looks at the genetic make-up of our bodies. Our ancestors did not undergo long periods of low to moderate exercise. Our hunting and gathering ancestors primarily focussed on hunting for food and running away from predators. Both involved short periods of fast, high energy movement.

This is why high intensity, short duration exercise, also known as burst or surge training, is more congruent with how our bodies are designed. In fact, this high intensity training is shown to increase testosterone and growth hormones while improving immunity, joint strength, fat burning, and increasing bone density.

Another bonus with this research is that you don’t need a bunch of expensive equipment to start an effective exercise program. With a good pair of running shoes, your own body weight, and a timer, start doing push ups or simple squats for shorter, more intense periods. This is also why burpees (going from a push up to a squatjump) have become popular. An even better part of burst training is that because it is for much shorter periods, everyone should be able to fit 15-20 minutes of this healthy exercise regime into their daily routine.

If you are thinking of starting an exercise program it is also advised to have your spine checked by a chiropractor in order to avoid any possible injuries and to ensure the maximum benefit from your new routine.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor who can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

Schools’ event inspires church shuswapmind Submitted by Paul Cox, Treasurer MCC Inspired by the support that Salmon Arm schools have given to ‘Walk for Water’ events over the past two years, the small inter-denominational church in Mara is once again raising funds for a Clean Water Project.

This time it’s raising $5,000 for a community water system in Kipsongol, Kenya (in the Masai Mara District). The Canadian charity Free the Children (involved in Salmon Arm’s ‘Walk for Water’ events) is preparing to drill a borehole to bring water to the surface from an underground aquifer and lay pipelines to distribute water to villages in the area.

The effort reflects Free the Children’s ‘Adopt a Village’ model which seeks to empower communities by eliminating barriers to education, access to clean water being one of them. Free the Children has staff on the ground preparing for the Kipsongol Project; they provide updates on the Project every two months at www.freethechildren.com

Reaching out through Clean Water projects has become a tradition for Mara Community Church. The small rural congregation has recently completed three water projects in partnership with local church groups and charities.

“Access to clean water and sanitation is recognized as a basic human right and one that is not enjoyed by many millions around the world, especially in developing countries” says Mara Community Church Chair Sandra Lindsay. “Safe, clean and accessible drinking water is essential for good health, education and other aspects of well-being. Partnering on such projects enables us to walk (a little) in other people’s shoes; it also reminds us of our privileged position and God’s command to love our neighbours.”

Donations (marked ‘Water Projects Fund’) will be gratefully received by mail at Mara Community Church, 396 Riverside Road, Mara BC V0E 2K0. For a tax receipt, please include your name and address.

FROM EDEN CLINICAL COUNSELLING

by Zoe Olson, MA RCC Setting the foundation for positive mental health

Our mental health is a spectrum, with disorder on one end and wellness the other. When someone is in crisis, or experiencing a mental health disorder such as depression or anxiety, working on a plan to set a solid foundation for emotional wellness can be a helpful start.

The basics, such as sleep, a nutritious diet, social support and connection, downtime and exercise, seem to fall by the wayside when life gets hectic. We work long hours, eat at the drive-thru, lose sleep due to stress and cut our social commitments due to exhaustion. These coping mechanisms end up being counterproductive for our wellbeing. Without these basics, wellness has a tough time occurring. Without these basics, we are ignoring our bodies’ needs, which often results long-term in mental distress.

By setting small and realistic goals (use the SMART criteria – Small, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely) creating a healthy base can be a protective factor should a large transition or stressor come up, to keep your mental health positive. How much sleep are you getting? Are you finding time to connect with your family and friends? Do boundaries at work need adjusting?

Are you exercising? What have you been eating?

Many non-nutritious foods are linked with low mood and lack of energy.

These suggestions for healthy living may seem obvious, yet most of us have a tough time putting them into practice as preventative mental and physical health care. Imagine how your life would improve if one of these basics was added to your daily routine.

THANK-YOU CARD FROM LGBTQ CLUB BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES Why would I receive a letter from the Board of Education of School District 83, I thought as I walked home from the mailbox. When I got to the house and opened the envelope I saw a smaller envelope that was creatively addressed to me. To it was stapled a receipt.

Inside, printed with a pink pen, was the following message: “Dear Sally Scales. THANK YOU!! for supporting our trip to the Gay/Straight Alliance Conference in Winnipeg. Your support shows us that we matter, that we belong, that our community cares about diversity and inclusion. We have come back from Winnipeg with lots of learning and a desire to continue to create safe spaces for people in schools and community. All the best!

LGBTQ club” I had asked you readers to make a donation towards their travel, and decided I should put my money where my mouth was. I took a cheque for $50 to the school board office and forgot about it until the receipt came in the mail.

MARTIN MARS WATER BOMBER WILL HELP TO FIGHT BC’S FIRES When there was a large forest fire in Silver Creek in 1999, a large red Martin Mars water bomber helped to put it out by dropping water from Shuswap Lake. It has not been used since 2013 because of its cost.

More than 17,000 people signed a Change.org petition calling for the government to sign the lone remaining Martin Mars water bomber in Port Alberni to a five-year contract. An arrangement has been made with the owner in Powell River and the bomber should be fighting some of the many forest fires burning in the province by the time you read this. It is piggy-backed on the contract to have the owner’s helicopters fighting fires.

The aircraft was built in the 1940s and used by the U.S. Navy during the Second World War. It can drop the largest possible amount of water on a fire in the shortest possible time. When called to fight a fire, the water bomber can be in the air in 10 minutes and, based on historical data, it can make a drop every 15 minutes, covering an area of up to 1.6 hectares. See many videos on YouTube.

MY CHEMTRAIL COMMENTS START A DEBATE If you are a new reader of this column, you need to know that since 1997 I have been warning readers about poisons being sprayed high above. Unlike contrails from regular planes which dissipate, these spread and leave a wispy white artificial cloud.

Last week Monika Adler of Salmon Arm wrote a short letter accusing me of having eagle eyes to be able to see a very high-flying, unmarked plane that created chemtrails. “Maybe she runs out of topics sometimes?”

This week, Frank Lucianovich of Enderby responded to Monika with a long letter. “Sally has no bionic vision to help her recognize that deliberately unmarked aircraft are distributing poisonous materials into our skies.”

“Facts in support of these claims can be found on the internet, including the chemical analysis of what these planes are spraying into our skies, for us to inhale, onto our fruit and vegetables, for us and our children to ingest.”

UNITED NATIONS HEARS HOW CHEMTRAILS CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING Several years ago, Rosalind Peterson, former United States Department of Agriculture inspector, spoke for 17 minutes at the United Nations’ forum on global warming.

She explained how the artificial clouds are causing global warming, killing agriculture and causing asthma and other respiratory ailments. You can hear her talk by searching YouTube for Chemtrails at United Nations.

SALMON ARM RESIDENTS ACCEPT BIKERS NOW Simon Gray of Salmon Arm is not a biker, but he wrote a letter which is in this issue stating that I was wrong to tar all bikers with the same brush. He said my comments do not reflect the opinions of all residents. So I wrote a few friends and learned that he is right.

COMMENT FROM BONNIE VAN DE VOSSE OF TOUCH ‘A’ TEXAS IN PICCADILLY MALL “As a retail store owner I have had lots of riders come through the doors. My staff and I have always made them welcome. We get good vibes and sales. What you put out is what you receive. Sicamous has the stomp and I will be there having a good time. Salmon Arm is my home and is a great place for ANYONE to live. Ride on!”

A LOCAL MOTORBIKE ENTHUSIAST WROTE THAT SHE FEELS GREATER ACCEPTANCE “In response to your reader’s comment, Sally, I think we have come a long way as a community in the last few years towards bringing awareness to the locals regarding riding clubs, gangs, one-per centres (outlaw motorcycle gang), etc. and the difference between them. It has been a long time since I have experienced any negative behaviour or treatment from anyone in Salmon Arm. In fact it’s been quite the opposite. I find that most people are very kind, considerate and accepting, even a bit curious of me when I ride up on my Harley. Many times people will come up to me and initiate a conversation, asking questions about my Harley, which any biker will tell you, that is a conversation we are always on board with. In addition, the other day while fuelling my bike prior to a ride, there were several one-per-centres fuelling their bikes at the same time at another pump. When I was leaving, I shot them a toothy grin, and they smiled right back. So there ya have it!!”

WRITER SPECIALIZING IN ECONOMIC ISSUES SAYS TO SCRAP THE SENIORS’ DISCOUNT I was blasted after suggesting in the May 1, 2015 column that it’s time to retire the seniors’ discount. The following week I printed a letter from a senior woman who said it was thoughtless of me to suggest such a thing.

Peter Shawn Taylor says a seniors’ discount is smart marketing for business, but it no longer makes sense for government to do the same. In the May 2015 Canadian Business magazine, he wrote: “Whenever a senior gets a cheap bus ticket or swim pass, someone from a younger and poorer generation inevitably ends up footing the bill.

In Calgary, a senior transit pass costs just $95 a year but everyone else pays $1,188 a year.”

If elderly taxpayers contribute to schools even though they do not use them, Peter asks, “why should healthy working stiffs subsidize someone else’s hip replacement?”

GEORGE ABBOTT, OUR FORMER MLA, IS NOT RENEWING HIS LIBERAL MEMBERSHIP Most recently, George Abbott was the Minister of Community, Aboriginal and Women’s Services of British Columbia. His most public falling out with the current government came when Premier Christy Clark cancelled his appointment as chief commissioner for the BC Treaty Commission in March, 2015. There were other things he was not happy about and they added to his reason to not renew his membership in the BC Liberal Party.

George is working on a PhD at the University of Victoria. His dissertation is on the BC Liberal government from 2001 to 2011, the years it was headed by Gordon Campbell. He says no longer being a party member helps him as an academic. He’s trying to be as objective and analytical as he can be. He was in politics for 35 years, of which 17 years were in the legislature.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ON A GLUTEN-FREE DIET FOREVER Dr. Susan Blum is an expert on the gut. She has written a book on how to heal the gut by going on a gluten-free diet for six months, then cleansing with small amounts of specific products like oregano and apple cider vinegar for three months. She recommends herbs to heal the lining of the gut. Start introducing a little whole wheat with gluten one day, then waiting three or four days to be sure the gut is healed.

Susan Blum, MD, is a pioneer in functional medicine.

She is the founder of The Blum Center for Health, and is an assistant clinical professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

Letters to the Editor Comments were irresponsible

Regarding Sally Scales’ comment about Salmon Arm residents not liking bikers: How dare she speak or attempt to be a spokesperson for all residents of Salmon Arm? There are biker gangs and biker groups, and do not tar them all with the same brush. A Christian bikers’ “gang” whose motto, I believe, is “Riding for the Son” is one that comes to mind. They were respon-

sible for guiding and assisting my late son, no strings attached. RCMP and paramedics also have “gangs” and we just had a display of bikes from the Lone Wolf bikers. In short, Sally’s comments were irresponsible and do not reflect the opinions of all residents as she claims.

Simon H. Gray, Salmon Arm (not a biker)

A sinkhole of Canadian money

Stupid, gullible, ignorant – that best describes us Canadians!

Why? For decade after decade, we have allowed personally-selected greedy vultures to bilk the country of huge funds for their own personal gain. Think of how all that would have benefitted both health care and education. Education? You bet we need it after allowing these dinosaurs to bleed the country for so long.

What is the purpose of elections when appointed senators can overrule decisions made by elected representatives in parliament – those chosen by the people?

Abolish the senate and declare that chamber a national museum for ancient artifacts. Excuse me, no senators allowed.

Alli Graham, Sicamous

brother are taking their entrepreneurial ideas to the internet. They have always had lots of “stuff” they wanted to sell, but the wheels would fall off, or more accurately, their attention span would soon shift, before they actually found a buyer.

Well, now they have discovered Kijiji. This has changed everything, and it seems their summer project is to sell everything they can get their hands on.

I’m going to have to start hiding my stuff or locking the door to my bedroom before I go to work; otherwise I’ll come home and find my closet emptied. Although my wife reminds me there isn’t much of a market for the clothes I wear; perhaps a decade or two ago, but she tells me styles have changed since I was in high school. Who knew?!

So recently my evenings have been filled with transferring pictures of the boys’ toys off the camera and posting them online, or spending a great deal of time trying to determine what is a reasonable price for an old Lego set. I’m constantly reminding them that they can’t just charge what they want for something, it should be priced at what it’s worth. In their minds it’s worth a fortune when they are selling it, but worth nothing when they are trying to buy it.

I’m not exactly sure if they’ll have any luck, but their enthusiasm is very high right now and they are learning a few things about how things work in the retail world! I like to say it’s a phase, but it seems this is just the way the Junior Bean Counter is wired.

As far as my closet? Well, if I come home and my favourite sweatshirt from 1995 is gone, then it is more likely my wife is sending me a hint than my children are selling my stuff. Either way, I guess it’s time for me to go shopping!

A star to Terry from Factor 3 for replacing the sandals I had purchased which had then disappeared at the Churches Thrift Store. - Very grateful

Norm Embree joins Nature Trust board

The Nature Trust of British Columbia, a non-profit land conservation organization, has recently had Salmon Arm’s Norman Embree join its Board of Directors.

Norman Embree has spent a lifetime working as an entrepreneur. His career began in securities and he eventually joined his family’s machining business, Embree Industries Ltd. of Hamilton, Ontario, which was founded by his grandfather in 1913. At the age of 34, he bought the company and became President and CEO, expanding it to an international company. During his career he also worked for the Business Development Bank of Canada as well as becoming a founding partner in a management consulting company, Presidents Network Inc. He moved to Salmon Arm in 1996 and served as a Board member of the Salmon Arm Economic Development Advisory Committee, Shuswap

Hospice Society, and the College of Pharmacists of BC. He was the Chair of the Interior Health Authority Board of Directors from 2007 to 2014 and Chair of the Board of Governors as Okanagan College transitioned from Okanagan University College. He is a graduate of the University of Western Ontario with a degree in economics.

As a leading non-profit land conservation organization, The Nature Trust of British Columbia is dedicated to protecting BC’s natural diversity of plants and animals through the acquisition and management of critical habitats. Since 1971 The Nature Trust, along with its partners, has invested more than $80 million to secure over 70,000 hectares (173,000 acres) across British Columbia. This includes 19.9 hectares along the Salmon Arm foreshore, acquired in 1988 with an aim to conserve waterfowl habitat, particularly for Western Grebes.

David Wray, Alaura Bibby, Emmy Sim, and Joy Peters

Haney Dinner Theatre The dinner theatre at R.J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum is always one of the highlights of the summer and this year is certainly no exception.

The cast, which includes Emmy Sim, Joy Peters, David Wray, and Alaura Bibby, is energetic, engaging, entertaining and very talented.

Playwright Peter Blacklock has once again written and directed the play which includes his original scores. The railway is year’s theme. ‘The Everlasting Railway Blues’ is an entertaining mix of story, singing, and comedy that ties in an impressive amount of national and local history.

Within one hour the cast goes from singing the national anthem to blues and even rap. Each cast member has various roles, playing their comic lines with great timing.

Their singing is even more impressive and their harmonies are simply beautiful to hear. They manage to sing about Timbits, hockey, beer, wearing sandals with socks, and the Canadian penchant for saying sorry, all in one song.

The dinner (pork, gravy, new potatoes, carrots, and coleslaw) is absolutely delicious, and there is a vegetarian option. They also have their ‘legendary rhubarb crisp.’

The dinner theatre goes three nights a week, Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday until August 23rd. The cost is $25 for adults, $22 for seniors, children from five to 13 are $14 and four and under are free. Reservations are required. For more information call 250-832-5243 or visit their website at www.salmonarmmuseum.org

PetValu opens The PetValu store in Centenoka Park Mall is the first one in B.C. They offer a full variety of pet food for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small animals.

PetValue also sells a full line of pet accessories with over 7,000 products. The store is pet friendly and they look forward to meeting all their customers’ ‘fur babies’.

They also have two self-serve animal wash stations.

The cost is $10 and they supply the shampoo and towel.

There are two full time employes and three part time all of whom are pet specialists. Located in the former Marks Work Wearhouse store, they are open Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday their hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The last Thursday of every month is seniors’ day.

To contact them call 250-832-6464 or email pv7201@ petvalue.net

RoundForty Fundraising Chris White and Karen Dow are co-founders of RoundForty Fundraising, with a retail store in the Centenoka Park Mall. The company also operates ‘popup’ stores, explains Chris.

“If a non-profit group wants us to set up at their function, anywhere in BC or Alberta for a day, we do that. 10 - 20% of all sales go to the cause of the customers choice when shopping at a pop-up store, or through our website.”

At their retail location in Salmon Arm, they sell a variety of items ranging from clothing to gadgets, purses, and scarves, to locally made jewelry and flavoured popcorn.

“We sell some name brands, like Cory Vines Activewear for $14.95 to $21.95, which would normally retail between $35 and $50, or MyPakage Underwear for Buy 2 Get 1 Free.”

They also have an in-store brand from Los Angeles, with new shipments arriving every two weeks. So stop by and browse their latest products while enjoying a flavoured Kienna coffee from their Kuerig coffee bar.

They have four employees who live in different communities that organize the pop-up stores.

You can visit RoundForty Outlet in Centenoka from 9:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and Saturday. On Friday they’re open from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and their Sunday hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Letters to the Editor Joy Peters and David Wray avoid a pitchfork wielded by Emmy Sim in this year’s dinner theatre production ‘The Everlasting Railway Blues’ at R. J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum. Howard Vangool photo.

The Wetlands Institute comes to the Okanagan The Wetlands Institute is an intensive, seven-day hands-on workshop that educates participants about wetland stewardship, restoration and construction skills. Participants often come to the Wetlands Institute with a wetland project they wish to implement in their home communities. During the workshop, participants receive support from knowledgable experts and obtain hands-on training in order to successfully implement their wetland projects upon returning home.

Participants spend most of the week in the field learning about

the importance and diversity of wetlands, practicing up-to-date field techniques to inventory wetlands vegetation mapping, water quality, soils, birds, amphibians, and fish. In addition, participants discuss ways to contact and communicate with landowners and developers and to raise public awareness and influence conservation policies. Within the selected host community(ies), several different wetland sites are visited during the week to highlight different restoration, conservation and education methods.

POTTERY T

This year, the Wetlands Institute will be coming to Kelowna and Vernon for free.

Participants may opt into a meal and accommodation plan, but the workshop itself will be offered at no cost.

Those with wetland restoration projects are encouraged to attend. This is a highly competitive workshop, so please apply early to reserve your spot.

The workshop runs Monday, September 28 to Sunday, October 4. Find out more at www.bcwf.net/index.php/wetlands-sub-2.

Sorrento Memorial Hall will feature 2D hanging artwork by a number of highly talented BC

Theatre festival offers variety

For three days at the end of July, Shuswap Theatre will be hosting an exciting new event.

Theatre on the Edge is a weekend of short plays, live music, and a rich and stimulating café atmosphere. The space will be alive from 11:00 to 11:00, five performances a day, with seven different shows to see. In between performances, theatergoers can enjoy sets of music, delicious food and licensed drink on the patio.

Four theatre productions originate in the Shuswap, three of the seven come from the Okanagan and beyond. “It’s a fantastic collection of great theatre that we have lined up,” enthuses Shuswap Theatre president Joyce Henderson. “Our local theatre artists are taking the opportunity to try something new - such as moving a show to a higher level, or taking on something that they might not otherwise try. And we’re really excited to have three companies visiting with touring productions.”

Fred Skelton, a Kelowna theatre company that’s creating a lot of buzz, will bring their production of Christie in Love, an intense drama about serial killer John Christie. They’ve won the Okanagan Zone Theatre Festival three times in the last five years, and last year won the provincial Mainstage Festival. (If the name seems familiar, they just performed this year’s award winning show at Shuswap Theatre on their way to 2015 Mainstage). Saucy Fops from Kamloops is bringing their new comedy Back and Forth and Back, and Katrina Kadoski is touring her musical play Cougar Annie Tales about the life of a legendary pioneer Vancouver Island postmistress. In 2012 her play won Pick of the Fringe and Best New Play in Victoria.

Tickets and information about artists and schedules is available on Facebook or at www. shuswaptheatre.com. Single tickets are $10, with three, five and seven show passes available.

Display ad deadline: Tuesday noon Classified ad deadline: Tuesday 1 p.m.

open the show at 7:30 p.m. followed by musician, songwriter and performer Sylvain Vallee, who will rock the keyboards, sharing some familiar classics and some his original pieces as well.

Fishing on the coast

Misty plumes gushed high into the air, from here, then there, as a pod of very large grey whales cruised around rocky windswept islets, feeding on schools of needlefish.

Seagulls joined the frenzy, rocking and rolling on the surface with the incoming tides. It’s called Farrier Reef, and is a gathering place for large chinook salmon, who also feed on the abundant herring, anchovie, sandlance, and needlefish.

The needlefish born on

the sandy bottom are scooped up as they emerge.

It was our annual salmon fishing foray to Zeballos, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, with a stay at Island Tides Lodge. We drive from Campbell River to the turnoff of the Island Highway, and then 42 kilometres to the townsite.

This year it seemed different, somehow.

There was constant wind. Creeks were dried up, and all was still.

As we settled in at the lodge, the forecast at dinner that first evening was for good fishing for both halibut and salmon. Next morning, we left the dock at 6:30 sharp, heading down the channel to the fishing grounds.

Although each of us pay about $1,200 for the trip each season, it’s worth the cost, with scrumptious meals and great accommodation. Best of all, owner and top guide, Steve Shelley, puts us into the best of

the best for salmon, halibut, and lingcod.

Now the gulls began to gather close to our boat. Glancing down, one could see a giant mass (or ‘baitball’) of needlefish. In seconds, our whales were cruising alongside our boat, grey hides covered in barnacles shining in the sunshine, as they seemed to slide past.

Where there’s food, the salmon too, will follow, and we weren’t disappointed, as my partner Earl’s rod bounced, and our first chinook salmon was hooked on a flasher and army truck hoochie rig-up. As our ocean begins to warm up, we could see other changes from previous years, as porpoises frolicked about, and abundant seaweed clumps floated past, in the constant wind.

Absent were the giant Humbolt squid, who, on occasion, move north en masse, devouring everything in their path. Once, a diver off Naniamo was grabbed and dragged to the bottom by several. Weighing in at over 100 lbs and 3-4 feet in length, with a large beak, they can be voracious predators. A friend and his wife were on a guided salm-

on charter off Uculuet three seasons ago, when a massive school of Humbolts came through. All the guides in the area reeled in and came off the ocean.

Steve has caught several of the beasts, saying they are good for calamari (deep fried in batter), but they are very dangerous predators, even attacking whales.

More information on Humbolts can be found online.

There are fewer harbour seals and sea lions on the west coast of Vancouver Island, due to salmon farm groups destroying them, as they harass the penned salmon. In 1997, 50 seals were killed, and in 2000, there were 250 destroyed. Kills have declined since then. In 2011, DFO records show, 141 California sea lions were destroyed. There is some concern over the decline of Glaucuswinged Gulls due to declining small fish stocks such as herring, anchovie, etc.

Although we saw plenty of gulls about, I suppose those who study these birds, know what they’re talking about, from 111 years of recording numbers.

The biggest issue

affecting all sea life including our salmon, of course, is climate change, and it’s indicated by those who study such things that salmon/halibut, and other fishes, whales, dolphins will continue to move to colder oceans along with the predators that prey on them.

Meanwhile, those that do enjoy the ocean and its fishing opportunities, like we do, will continue to venture forth to the smells, sounds, and joy of being there.

Out and about in the Shuswap Fishing has slowed on most of our local lakes, as warm weather reeks havoc, and trout find cooler places down in Davey Jones’ locker, so to speak.

With the usual heavy houseboat/waterski crowd out on big Shuswap Lake, best time to fish is very early in the morning.

Go deep to 90 feet with apex/lyman lures.

Best bet are the tunnels or log booms off Canoe, along deep rocky shorelines. Lake trout angling is good, and the fish seem to be taking over, similar to the Garrard rainbow crash over on big Kootenay Lake, at Nelson. Studies show that predators are tak-

ing the small juvenile kokanee, leaving the larger fish skinny and underweight. There are also problems at Johnson Lake, a good fishing lake above Adam’s Lake. Jet ski bums and others appear to have taken over, and there’s not enough enforcement out there to do any good. Fishing is slow on other lakes.

Many of us anglers enjoy the quiet operation of our electric trolling motor. It all started in 1934, when O. G. Schmidt of Fargo, North Dakota, connected a shaft and propellor to a Ford Model A starter motor.

The Minn Kota was born, and since that time, manufacturers have rolled out many improvements to the fisherman’s silent friend. Now we have built-in sonar transducers offering a view of the bottom. GPS virtual anchors holding bottom, despite the wind, etc. It just gets better! Top electrics are Minn Kota Endura, Minn Kota riptide, and the Motorguide wireless.

We are in a terrible situation with our wildfires. Please take extreme caution while camping and hiking.

Protecting Canada’s waters

Canada’s waters are some of our most important natural resources, which is why Canada’s government pursues continuous improvements to our world-class tanker safety system. This process is based on systems and regulations preventing spills, preparations and resources if a spill unfortunately happens and ensuring that if a clean-up response occurs that the cost of this is not placed on taxpayers.

80% of global oil transport is carried by tanker ships and this brings both efficiencies and risks that need to be managed as Canada’s role as a supplier of global energy grows. This is why Canada has a robust, multi-layered regime built on the “polluter-pays” principle and spans industry, all levels of government and stakeholders. Stakeholder partners include the Canadian Coast Guard who provide surveillance and facilitate safe navigation and responses to spills. Another stakeholder, certified response organizations, provides primary marine pollution responses funded by the shipping industry, not Canadian taxpayers.

In 2013, Transport Canada’s Tanker Safety Panel Secretariat (TSPS) published Part I of a report examining Canada’s ability to prevent and, if necessary, respond to an oil spill caused by a ship. In drafting this report, TSPS consulted with stakeholders and regulators from around the world to determine what best practices have been proven to be effective.

As a guiding document that seeks to address social, economic and environmental goals within the community, the Official Community Plan (OCP) covers topics such as growth management, agriculture, residential development, commercial and residential waterfront development, downtown and highway redevelopment and the environment. The OCP directs the District and Council toward common goals and purpose when evaluating community growth and development.

In May 2014, the Government responded to this report by announcing new actions such as: modernizing Canada’s marine navigation system; supporting leading-edge scientific research on petroleum products and a range of response measures; piloting Area Response Planning in four prioritized areas across Canada; and strengthening the polluter pay regime by introducing legislative amendments to make an unlimited amount of compensation available from Canada’s domestic ship-source compensation fund.

Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) is also involved in spill responses as they provide science-based advice on how to contain and disperse a spill. Since 2006, the Government has supported DFO with $49 million for its scientific research examining oil spill behaviour, effects and mitigation measures including response planning and modernized navigation and communication supports.

Our Government understands the value of Canadian waters and remains committed to investing in the science, equipment and expertise needed to ensure shipping in Canada’s waters is safe and sustainable.

Get clicking for photo contest

Photos entered in previous contests have been featured in the BC SPCA’s Animal Sense and Bark! magazines, as well as in BC SPCA educational materials, local newspapers, websites and social media – a testament to the calibre of the photos that are entered.

Prizes are awarded for the top three photos in each of two categories: Wild Settings and Backyard Habitats. The competition is open to all amateur photographers aged 14 and up. All photos of wildlife entered must be taken within the province and submitted digitally.

“Wildlife” includes free-living birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects, but not exotic, feral or domestic animals, or wildlife in zoos or rehabilitation facilities. Learn more about this year’s contest and view past winners’ images at spca. bc.ca/wildlife-in-focus.

“The contest encourages participants to explore green spaces, roadsides, mountain passes, beaches and backyards to find striking photo opportunities that represent the resiliency of local wildlife living at the interface with humans,” Dubois says.

Photographers can even find inspiration online, with the live-streaming Wild ARC Critter Cam, which features wild patients in the facility 24/7, at spca.bc.ca/ crittercam.

For more information, email contest@wildarc.com.

Pictured is one of the 2014 Honourable Mentions, taken by Patricia Suter of Hixon.

Is your camera ready? The BC SPCA’s seventh annual Wildlife-InFocus Photography Contest is now open for entries. The goal is to capture the best of British Columbia’s wildlife through the lens, whether the subjects are in your own backyard or in the vast natural wilderness of the province. All amateur photographers can enter the competition, which runs from July 1 through Sept. 30, by submitting their most impressive digital images.

“We are constantly amazed at the mind-blowing photos we receive – they really showcase the astonishing diversity of animals we have throughout B.C., in both urban settings and isolated locations,” says BC SPCA chief scientific officer Dr. Sara Dubois. “From hummingbirds captured mid-flight in a garden ornament’s reflection to a Momma grizzly bear and her cubs crossing a river, the images are stunning and really make it tough for judges to choose the winning photos.”

The contest supports the BC SCPA’s Wild Animal rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) on southern Vancouver Island, where more than 2,500 orphaned and injured wild animals are cared for each year.

The Shuswap Midget Outlaws won the League Championships last weekend. This weekend they play for the Zone Championship and for Provincial berth. The second game (to see who will represent the Okanagan in Provincials in Prince George mid July) is in Salmon Arm on Sunday, and if necessary, the third game, as well, later the same day.

A22 Friday, July 10, 2015 Lakeshore News

How can we stop dog theft?

In the last year and a half at least 22 dogs have been stolen in the Okanagan and at least 52 more have vanished without a trace. Our beloved dog Charlie was one of them.

Before our five-year-old white Cockapoo went missing three months ago, I’d never thought about dog-napping. But after an extensive search failed to find him or any remains, we were left wondering if someone had taken our boy.

By then I’d already started connecting with other people who were missing dogs and was alarmed at how many there were.

Not knowing if these numbers were higher than normal, I asked Gina Knutsen, a woman who’s been running a popular and helpful page on Facebook called Okanagan Lost and Found Pets.

“It used to be that when a dog went missing it was found,” she said. “Not always with a happy ending, but at least the families would have some closure.

Lately more and more dogs have been just disappearing, and it’s clearly not all because of wildlife.”

At about the time we first began looking for Charlie, Brad Tanner found his family’s cherished dog, Chocco - but it was far from the happy ending they were desperate for.

Brad, a safety manager in the oil fields, conducted an exhaustive and very public four-week search which resulted in the discovery that their five-year-old Chesapeake had been shot to death at point blank range to the back of his head

eight miles from home in Fort St. John.

“I have no idea who murdered him,” he said. “But if they did it to make me abandon my quest to find out who took him and crack down on dog theft everywhere, they’ve failed completely.”

Brad didn’t know about all the dogs being stolen in his area until Chocco vanished. And unlike the Okanagan, where dog flipping seems to be the biggest reason for these thefts, in his area dog fighting seems to be the primary motive.

Of course canines are taken for other intentions as well, such as breeding, lab testing, revenge, ransom and the unthinkable. “Whatever the reason, whoever is taking our family members need to be found and this needs to be stopped,” Brad

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

OnaBrighterNote

said. “It’s up to the community to make that happen.”

When Chocco was stolen, Brad faced what all of us with missing dogs do: a lack of direction when time is of the essence.

“There were too many rescue groups to contact effectively,” he said. “Shelters, dog controls and vet clinics were not helpful after hours, and legislation doesn’t exist to help in the case of a stolen dog.”

He recognized the need for a more organized approach but found the local governmental borders, boundaries and jurisdictions got in the way since there was little to no connections between them.

Realizing that the only solution was for pet lovers to take control and help each other, “Chocco’s Sea of Green” was created. The program is designed with two main components: a dedicated network of connected and organized pet lovers, as well as one central social media point with a thorough identification system.

With Sea of Green, pets are identified with a green tag, and stickers and signs are put up in driveways and car windows to identify members, warning potential thieves that they are in a pet safe community.

The program also includes PetLynx, a company that has a database of approximately one million registered pets.

“PetLynx helps about 2000 animals get

by Lori Welbourne home every month in Canada,” Brad said.

“This online database is already in place and it’s the only automated recovery system that allows anyone to post free lost and found reports that facilitate instant online sharing of pet information across North America when a pet goes missing.”

The idea behind PetLynx is to reunite missing pets with their families. The idea behind Sea of Green is to repel thieves, cutting down on the need for such a service.

“It’s exceedingly difficult retrieving a stolen dog,” Brad said. “The key is to try and prevent it from happening in the first place.”

Brad advises to never leave your dog unattended in an unlocked area, spay or neuter so it’s not a target for breeders, and use a microchip just in case your pet shows up as a found animal out of province one day.

The RCMP have been supportive of the Sea of Green initiative, confirming a noticeable decrease in the number of calls they’re receiving about theft attempts and missing dogs in the Fort St. John area.

This is a goal pet owners should aim for in our community and across North America.

Regional District (CSRD). The 65 shady sites are surrounded by a beautiful predominantly cedar and hemlock forest, a great place to escape the hottest weather of summer. An added bonus is that vacancies can usually be found even in the busiest months of July and August. A pretty, grassy day use area with picnic tables and a log shelter also serve shorter stay visitors.

An extensive network of nature trails can be found in the park both north and south of the highway. I have walked along some of the routes

during various visits and found them very pleasant and enjoyable. Although some sections of trail have had washouts or tree blow downs, you can walk along part of Yard Creek, as well as near the larger Eagle River on the north section of the highway. Trails in this area are known as the Eagle River Nature Trails. Larger trees, besides cedar and hemlock, include some Douglas fir, white spruce, white and lodgepole pine and western yew. Lush undergrowth includes mosses and lichens, as well as bushes such as huckleberries and blueberries. Yes, bears do come to the park, but if you are ‘bear aware’ and take the usual precautions such as making a noise and travelling in groups, you will likely never even spot a bear. I have never encountered bears in the park.

Several bird species make their home there, including the American dipper. These little birds dive into the icy waters of the creek looking for water insects. The Pileated Woodpecker, with its bright red head, is another common sighting.

An interesting historical note about the south park side is that it was the site of an internment camp in 1942. In World War II Canadian born and naturalized Japanese men were put to work at this one of five road camps widening and improving the road between Sicamous and Revelstoke. The buildings are gone now, but you can still see some flat, levelled off areas where some outbuildings once stood.

Yard Creek Provincial Park was created in 1956, and is comprised of 60 hectares of interior wetbelt forest upland (south of Highway 1), with another 115 hectares of riparian habitat along the Eagle River added at a later date (north of Hwy 1).

Ontario sent 70 firefighters and specialists to Abbotsford and Cranbrook for deployment in the Coastal and Southeast fire centres, with two skimming aircraft, a “birddog” plane and an air attack officer arriving at the Kamloops fire centre.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson said he expects further help to arrive from Australia, with more personnel coming from New Zealand to assist fire crews in Alberta.

More assistance has been requested through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, which sent B.C. crews to Alaska, Alberta and Yukon earlier in the season.

The B.C. Wildfire Service recorded 23 new fires Monday, with 184 active fires in the province. As of Tuesday there were 40 homes under evacuation order and another 920 on alert.

Smoke advisories continued Tuesday for

Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, the Sea to Sky corridor, with new advisories for south and eastern Vancouver Island from Campbell River to Victoria, including the Port Alberni area where the Dog Mountain fire continued to grow.

The Hawaii Mars water bomber based at Sproat Lake was undergoing testing and crew training, expected to be ready for service by Thursday.

Dr. James Lu of Vancouver Coastal Health said air conditions have improved in southwestern B.C., but smoke advisories remain in place.

Very young, elderly and those with chronic lung and heart conditions or diabetes are advised to stay indoors and reduce physical activity, with air conditioning or filtering if available.

A province-wide outdoor fire ban was extended to include the western strip of Vancouver Island known as the “fog zone” as the forecast of hot and dry weather continued.

Kurtis Isfeld of the BC Wildfire Service said he is expecting about 30 new fire starts a day for the “foreseeable future.”

Preparing to evacuate your pets

With much of B.C. covered with a thick haze of forest fire smoke, the BC SPCA is encouraging animal guardians to refresh their emergency pet preparedness. Several new wildfires as well as old ones have caused evacuation orders and states of emergency in several B.C. communities, prompting people to leave their homes as quickly as possible.

“When you’re ordered to evacuate, you need to do it as soon as possible, and people don’t necessarily think about their pet in an emergency situation until it’s too late,” says BC SPCA general manager of community relations Lorie Chortyk. “You don’t have time to gather up everything you need if you have to get out of your home right away.”

Evacuations are usually a busy time for staff and volunteers at the province’s BC SPCA branches, as they provide extra shelter, pet food and pet-related equipment such as crates and leashes for pet guardians and animals.

“When you’re in a hurry, it can be easy to forget feeding bowls, food, leashes, everything,” Chortyk says. “That’s why it’s important to plan ahead and be prepared for any emergency.

People love their pets but it often doesn’t sink in that an emergency can happen at any time.”

Having an emergency pet kit handy is key, as well as ensuring your pet is already wearing a collar with up-to-date contact information,

Chortyk notes. Keeping your pets inside the house so you don’t need to search for them is also a good idea, as is having emergency pet boarding plans in place.

Items to include in an emergency kit for your pet(s) include: A seven-day supply of food and water; identification tag and collar; sturdy crate and/or carrier; pet first aid kit; blanket/plastic bags; leash, harness; food and water bowls (collapsible are great); litter box and litter for cats; manual can opener; a copy of your pet’s current vaccination history; and any special medications and instructions.

“No one likes to think an emergency like a wildfire or an earthquake will happen. But in the event it does, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared – for themselves and for their beloved family pets,” Chortyk says.

When dealing with livestock in the event of an emergency, the Horse Council of British Columbia and provincial government offer many helpful tips and advice as well.

The British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is a not-forprofit organization reliant on public donations.

Our mission is to protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.

Dressers, cheese, and percolators bubble slightly. Stir in 1 cup 1% (or thicker) milk and 1 tbsp. lemon juice (vinegar or wine) and simmer for one minute. Here’s the trick: Remove the pot from the stove and add 1 cup shredded cheese, stir until melted. Pour over broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, French fries or nacho chips.

Did you know? In the past, cheese was used as money; until the late 19th century some people paid their rent with cheese.

It takes 10 litres of milk to make 1 kg of cheese.

Dear Reena, I have one of your Household Solutions books but can’t find a solution to my problem. I have a coffee peculator and one time forgot to put the water in and plugged it in. I had put the coffee in the tray and I noticed after 5 minutes that it wasn’t perking and then realized the water was missing. I washed it with mild soap as I usually do plus vinegar.

Today there is still a kind of burnt taste especially in the last half cup. Anything else I should do or will it go away eventually?

Many thanks, Cecilia Dear Cecilia, Instead of washing the percolator with vinegar, run vinegar through the coffee maker (as if you were making a pot of coffee) to give the entire machine a fabulous cleaning. The taste will soon be back to normal!

Hi Reena, My condo was painted nine days ago.

On the kitchen floor I noticed a whole bunch of pink stuff; one would think the painter spilt pink cream soda all over the floor.

I wiped it up, but when I asked the painter what it was, he said the marks came from my brand new stove.

Either the wheels were

Solutions&Substitutions

By Reena Nerbas sprayed with a solution or the stove plug in is leaking. Last night I noticed a pink mark on the linoleum near my kitchen table.

I tried to remove it with Vim, but no such luck. Any other suggestions to try and remove this 9-day-old mark? Please advise.

Shannon Dear Shannon, I have never heard of an appliance leaking pink solution onto flooring. So I talked with an appliance repair person and he said that if you had a gas stove installed, the gas person would put a liquid onto the line to test if any gas is leaking from the pipes.

Normally the liquid is something as simple as dish soap and water.

Other than that, the appliance repair expert had never heard of a pink liquid leaking from a stove. And if the pink dripped from the wheels, wouldn’t there be a line of pink across your floor instead of drips? Scrub the floor with either Oxyclean or a bar of Sunlight laundry soap (just in case it is primer or paint).

Hi Reena, When the wind blows a certain way, my wood stove stinks!

I am not talking about while I am using it; I am speaking about months after we have stopped using it. Why does it stink? Emily Dear Emily, Like everything else in our homes, maintenance is required for greatest and safest results. Take some time to clean out your stove. Remove ashes and dispose of them into a metal container with a lid. Never place ashes in with your regular garbage. It is important to keep your wood stove free of creosote to prevent chim-

ney fires. Have your chimney cleaned at least twice a year.

Fabulous Tips of the Week • Stop yourself from getting shocks as you walk across your carpet. Into a spray bottle add: 1 part liquid fabric softener and 4 parts water. Lightly mist the carpet.

• Homemade ‘Do Not Disturb’ Cream: Into a small glass jar combine one quarter cup sesame or grape seed oil, one tsp. jojoba oil and one quarter cup Aloe Vera gel.

Shake. Massage onto face, before bedtime being careful not to get any in your eyes. Keep refrigerated.

Troubling sign

Theo Verwijst sent in this photo of a demolition sign in Grindrod. He says, “The last time I saw a sign like this was in Holland in WW2, under Adolf Hitler.” It appears that the eagle symbols had been an act of graffiti.

Dear Reena, My daughter has a new dresser and she doesn’t like the smell of the drawers. They are some type of a particleboard and make her clothes smell. How can she get rid of this smell? Norine Hi Norine, Chemical off-gassing can take up to a year to dissipate. In the meantime, wash drawers with Murphy’s Oil and water or tea tree oil and water. She can put bars of soap inside the drawers or line each drawer with scented shelf paper.

Another option is to make a coffee sock.

Fill a clean sock with fresh coffee grounds and close the sock with an elastic band.

Toss the sock inside the drawer to absorb odours. Or put fabric softener sheets into each drawer. If the smell remains, fill containers of vinegar and place them inside of the drawers to take the odour away. Each container should have a lid with air holes e.g. parmesan cheese shaker to allow the smell to fill the drawer.

Dear Reena, There is nothing better than a hot dish topped with melted cheese! Whenever I make cheese sauce, it becomes stringy and the cheese won’t incorporate into the dish without making a clumpy mess. What am I doing wrong?

Sincerely, Kathleen Dear Kathleen, As you incorporate the cheese, be sure to stir constantly and keep the stove temperature low (or off) so that the cheese does not heat too quickly. A double boiler is a great helper for making smooth cheese sauces.

A little hint, whenever you make cheese sauce, add something acidic to your pot e.g. lemon juice, vinegar or wine. Doing this will break up the molecules and prevent clumping. Here’s a recipe for making yummy cheese sauce.

Into a pot (or double boiler), melt 2 tbsp. butter and stir in 2 tbsp. flour to create a roux. After 1 or 2 minutes, the mixture will turn golden brown and

Stay safe on the water

July 4th – 12th marks National Fishing Week in Canada. The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the B.C. Wildlife Federation want to remind anglers that wearing your lifejacket is even more important than wearing your ‘lucky fishing hat’. But they do share one trait–they both have to be worn to be effective!

According to the Canadian Safe Boating Council and the Lifesaving Society, 80 percent of recreational boaters who drown each and every year in Canada were not wearing a lifejacket or Personal Floatation Device (PFD). Most of these drownings occur in small, open power boats, accounting for 60 percent of these preventable deaths. A majority of these victims were males between the ages of 19 and 35, out for a day of fishing.

Many of those who don’t wear their lifejackets or PFDs believe that, since they are good swimmers, having them onboard and within easy reach is good enough. But a lifejacket stored under a seat or up in the bow will be of no help when the unexpected happens, like falling overboard while trying to net the catch.

“National surveys clearly show that more than half the recreational boats sold in Canada are used for fishing on a regular basis,” says John Gullick, Chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. “During National Fishing Week, the Canadian Safe Boating Council would like to remind all anglers not only to have their lifejacket onboard their boat, but to wear it as if their life depended on it – because it just might!”

Many of today’s anglers are delighted with the models that are designed especially to suit their needs. They’re rugged, allow for full freedom of movement to cast and are constructed with lots of pockets for gear. Some even come equipped with an attachment from which to hang a landing net. When choosing their lifejacket, anglers should also check the label to make sure it is Transport Canada approved, is the correct size and fits snugly.

“BCWF encourages everyone to keep safety in mind this summer and wear a lifejacket when you are out enjoying the limitless fishing opportunities that our beautiful province provides. There are many comfortable and functional options available, including models designed especially for anglers,” said BCWF President Bill Bosch.

Fishing is a part of the Canadian fabric and an activity that’s easy to get hooked on. At this important time of year, the CSBC and BCWF are asking those who fish to ‘Get Hooked on Lifejackets’ too.

The BCWF is British Columbia’s largest and oldest conservation organization with over 40,000 members passionately committed to protecting, enhancing and promoting the wise use of the environment for the benefit of present and future generations. Visit www.bcwf.bc.ca for more information.

This initiative is made possible through the support of Transport Canada’s Office of Boating Safety.

Public demands higher fines

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press Halfway through a consultation on distracted driving policy, the vast majority of B.C. residents who have responded want fines increased.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says thousands of people have participated on the B.C. government’s consultation website, and more than 90 per cent want stronger action to stop people talking or texting on their phones while they’re behind the wheel. The issue now is how high the fines should go.

“British Columbians are also telling us they want to see tougher escalating penalties for repeat offenders, because right now some people see the $167 ticket as the cost of doing business,” Anton said Tuesday. “We need to stop that.”

B.C.’s fine is the second lowest in Canada, and a three-point insurance penalty was added last fall. Anton said she doesn’t intend to follow Ontario’s lead and put the fine up to $1,000 for repeat offenders, but an

increase will be coming within a year.

Comments on the website www. gov.bc.ca/distracteddriving continue to debate the merits of seizing cellphones from drivers, but Anton reiterated that option is not being considered.

Suspending licences or impounding vehicles of repeat offenders is on the table, however. Saskatchewan impounds the vehicle for a week if the driver gets two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart.

The consultation continues until July 16. Participants are asked to reply to nine questions.

The crowd-sourcing exercise has its weaknesses. Only five per cent of respondents have come from the B.C. Interior, and Anton said younger people are also under-represented.

The province attributes 88 deaths to distracted driving last year, second to speeding and ahead of impaired driving.

Glen passed away peacefully with family at his side on June 23, 2015 at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm at the age of 84.

Glen was born in hospital in Salmon Arm on August 18, 1930 to Hazel and Mathius Pederson. He lived in and around the Shuswap as a boy until he was 8 then moved to Vancouver. At 17, he started work for the railroad out of Beavermouth until he transferred to Revelstoke. Glen married the love of his life, Margo, in 1950 and started work in the sawmill business first in Chase, Smithers, Maple Ridge and finally out of Sicamous. He loved to fish, play golf and watch hockey, football and especially Blue Jays baseball. We are blessed with so many fond memories of going up the Shuswap Lake in the boat that he built. Glen enjoyed trips to Reno, Las Vegas and the horse track for the races. He loved to play his guitar, sing songs and was known to have the “odd cold beer”. wwwGlen was a hard-working, caring man and loved having his family and friends close to him. Glen was predeceased by his mother Hazel, father Mathius, brothers Clayton and Ted, sisters Olive and Evelyn. He is survived by his wife Margo, son Ronald (Theresa) Pederson, daughter Roxanne (Lou) Nish and grandchildren; Matthew, Shelley, Dawn, Keith, Lorraine, Traci, Connie, Jeff, Tara and a multitude of great grandchildren.

A celebration of life in honour of Glen will be held at Shuswap Lake Community Center, 2504 Centennial Drive, Lower Level, August 22 at 2:00pm. Service to be followed

by BBQ with family and friends.

AARON EARL FIELDS It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of Aaron Earl Fields on May 26, 2015 in Port Coquitlam, BC. He was born on June 13, 1977 in Banff, Alberta t o sons, Ross and Cheryl Fields. The first of 3 he came to make his home in Salmon Arm, BC as a 3 year old. He was proud to help his parents build a log house and start a hobby farm. He often considered himself “rich” in experience and family because of this lifestyle.

He enjoyed fishing and fly-tying, reading, playing guitar, and was an avid woodworker, creating beautiful furniture and gifts for his family. Aaron is also remembered for his passionate faith in Jesus and his encouragement to others in their faith. He was kind and well loved by his friends and family.

His brother, David, with Kathryn and their children, Connor (4) and Adam (2), and Jordan, with Kassandra, have great memories of fishing adventures, skateboarding, biking and growing up on the farm. They miss him so much already.

may be made to the Canadian Lung Association and would be greatly appreciated.

A celebration of Aaron’s life will be held from the Broadview Evangelical Church, Salmon Arm, BC on Saturday, July 18th at 2:00 pm. He will be interred next to his father, Ross and grandparents, Earl and Gloria Fields at Mount Ida Cemetery, Salmon Arm, BC.

CLANCY

Val and Thelma

It’s with heavy hearts we have to announce the passing of our wonderful Mother and Father. Mom left on her journey June 21 and not to be left behind Val followed on June 23. Val and Thelma had a great love for each other. They were married for 64 short years. When Val had his stroke 11 years ago, Thelma dedicated all her time to looking after Val until this past April when she got sick and could no longer do it. There will be a private memorial for Val and Thelma at a later date.Â

THELMA CLANCY

May 7, 1931 - June 21, 2015 Thelma leaves to mourn her daughter Marg (Rob); son Russ (Patty); son Lyle (Linda); daughter Val (Mike); son Darcy (Julie); and best friend Trudie. Thelma had numerous great grandchildren and grandchildren that she openly adored. Thelma had many nieces and nephews that truly loved her. She was also survived by her sister Vivian (Ian); sister Shirley (Don); and brother David. Thelma was predeceased by her parents; brother Teddy and sister-in-law Shirley; and three wonderful dogs (best friends): Lady, Tara, and Teddy.

Thelma had some very special friends in Sicamous. Her neighbours Doug and Wendy were very special to her. They made sure she was looked after all the time and Thelma loved them dearly. The whole family never worried about Thelma because Doug and Wendy were always there. There was also two very special ladies who loved Thelma so much. Leslie and Shelley met Thelma being dad’s caregivers, and ended up being Thelma’s caregivers, which both of them stated they didn’t sign up for. Thelma loved her life and family very much. She enjoyed her house, yard, garden, and fish pond. She enjoyed all her children, relatives, and friends coming to visit. Thelma was the best cook ever, her specialty was pies. She will be sorely missed, life will never be the same for those she left behind. Anyone wishing, donations to the SPCA would be just what Thelma would have wanted.Â

Information

May 7, 1922 - June 23, 2015 Val leaves to mourn his daughter Marg (Rob); son Russ (Patty); son Lyle (Linda); daughter Val (Mike); and son Darcy (Julie). Val had many great grandchildren, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews that loved him unconditionally. Val was predeceased by brothers Cecil, Lawrence, Norman, Bill, and Jake; and two half brothers Bruce and Charles; sisters Lillian, Eva, Myrtle, Kathleen, and Alice; three wonderful dogs (best friends) Wiesel, Tara, and Teddy. Doug, Wendy, Leslie, Shelley, and Laverne cared very deeply for Val and enjoyed visiting with him very much. After Val was finished in the army he went logging with brother Jake until he bought a block plant in Red Deer, Alberta. Then he went to Manitoba and managed a block plant till 1963. He moved the family to Lacombe and farmed until he bought the Eckville Hotel (HOME OF THE LARGE 12 OUNCER) on October 1, 1974. Val absolutely loved the Eckville Hotel. It was his baby until he finally decided it was time to take Thelma to BC and retire in 1995. Unfortunately Val had a stroke in 2004 which he never did fully recover from. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. Val, like Thelma, had a soft spot for animals. Anyone wishing to make a donation to the SPCA would make dad happy too.
