Capricorn, with so much on your schedule, you have to give some serious thought to prioritizing.

Otherwise, you may expend energy that cannot be wasted.

CANCER

Cancer, you sometimes have a sixth sense about you, and it guides you through the tough decisions that need to be made. Rely on your intuition for something major this week.

LEO

Leo, you will be the king (or queen) of your domain this week. Others will respect your final decision on many issues, and you will feel comfortable being the head honcho.

Looking back through history: ON SHUSWAP LAKE WITH TUGBOAT STEPHANIE In 1967, for less than three dollars, Gordon Priestman took an eight-hour trip on the MV Stephanie out of Sicamous and sailed to Seymour Arm, with many stops along the way. The Stephanie was built in 1947 in New Westminster by John Manley. The (now) late Gordon Priestman was editor of the Salmon Arm Observer at the time, and his long article was published in B.C. Motorist’s May-June edition in 1967.

He wrote that a trip in the exciting Shuswap country should take about eight hours, but you’re never certain what might lie around the bend, and increase the time by a few hours and many miles.

“My wife and I first set foot on the Stephanie on a bright June morning, wondering if the trip aboard would live up to what we had heard. Stephanie is no idle tourist craft, no pleasure-seeker out for a lark. She is a dependable, no-nonsense working gal, willing to take a few passengers while going about her duties. Stephanie is a tugboat. She can carry 18 passengers in addition to her crew of two.

STEPHANIE IS THE LINK AND LIFELINE “For those people who live in the upper reaches of the large lake, Stephanie is the link and lifeline with the outside world. The tugboat is 34 feet long, has an 11 foot beam and weighs in at 18.64 tons. Because of the quantities of cargo Stephanie is called upon to deliver, she pushes a great barge that measures 50 by 20 feet and has weathered boards from carrying an amazing assortment of things.

“My wife and I arrived at Sicamous for the 8 a.m. departure in time to find owner Gordon Mackie and skipper Jim Beswick just finishing loading the last of the day’s cargo. Later, when the tourist season is really under way, as many as 300 to 400 passengers a month show up for the lake cruise on the 84-foot deck.

ADMIRING THE SHUSWAP LAKE SCENERY “Mackie produced a map of the lake and traced for us the route we’d be following: about 35 miles from Sicamous to the once-booming settlement of Seymour Arm, which meant a round-trip of about 70 miles. A few miles out of Sicamous we came upon Marble Point, where the Stephanie’s crew maintains a small lighthouse.

As we neared Cinnemousun Narrows, where the four arms of the big lake join, the sun touched upon soaring snow-capped peaks up Anstey Arm to the east.

“Once a small boat put out to meet us and the occupants caught up on the latest news as Mackie sorted their mail. A few miles along another boat intercepted us and a soft-spoken young man discussed a job that needed doing.

MAGNA BAY FIRE RAVAGED FOREST IN 1966 “Partway along the Seymour Arm of the lake, passengers have the opportunity to see at close range the terrible destruction left by the great Magna Bay forest fire which ravaged close to 47,000 acres in the summer of 1966.

Stephanie showed her mettle during that long grim fight.

When gale-force winds around Labour Day swept the fire out of control, at co-op logging camp at 2-Mile, the crew of 120 fire fighters and some equipment were rescued by the tugs Stephanie and MPF.”

MACKIE FAMILY PROVIDED BOATING ON THE LAKE Eino Mackie, Gordon’s father, had operated tug boats on the Shuswap for 30 odd years. He died in 1959. Son Norman, who had been a lineman with B.C. Hydro, continued with the family tug operation until 1966, when he and Gordon, a former bank manager, acquired Shuswap Lake Ferry Service from Capt. Frank Smith. They continued the joint operation till the early 1990s when the business was sold to Ross Gallant.

NEW OWNERS AT CHESTER’S FRANCHISE David and Emma Duan moved from Bejing to Salmon Arm after buying Chester’s House of Cinnamon in Piccadilly. They spent their first month training with Kurt and Brenda Van Ember, who started the business 16 years ago and are now going to sell more franchises. The staff is staying on with the new owners. David Van Ember, a son who has worked there for 16 years, is manager.

David and Emma applied to buy Chester’s one and a half years ago. David had been in Canada and the U.S. when he worked for an adoption agency, and acted as interpreter in China. Knowing the English language was a help. Before coming to Salmon Arm, they spent five months in Coquitlam until their papers were ready.

Emma is learning English. She is happy not to work nights, as she did when a nurse in Beijing. Michael, their three-and-a-half year old son, is at Shuswap Day Care.

All his grandparents miss him, and communicate with video on social media.

GOVERNMENT CHANGES RULES ABOUT BRINGING ASIANS TO CANADA A year ago, there were over 10 potential business owners from Asia coming to Salmon Arm. The province of B.C. had an agency that helped prospective immigrants find work or business in the province. The program allowed people to immigrate to B.C. if they invested enough money in a business and could create jobs.

But the provincial government changed immigration rules in March because of an excess number of applicants. Only a few of the prospective buyers planning to come to Salmon Arm were over a certain point in their application. It was very hard on the local sellers, and also on prospective buyers.

The ghost town of Bradian, two hours north of Whistler, was bought in 2014 for a million dollars by Chinese investors who planned to turn it into a resort, and bring more buyers from China. But seven months later, it was back on the market. Google: Bradian, BC. CHAMBER MEMBERS WANT TRAFFIC SURVEY Large trucks leave Vancouver and Calgary in the early morning, and meet in Salmon Arm between 4 and 6 p.m.

Members of the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce would like to be pro-active, and prevent an accident happening on the Trans Canada Highway with pedestrians or hazardous materials.

They are seeking help for a five-day traffic survey to present to City Council, Ministry of Transport, and Department of Transport with an eye to getting extra enforcement, red-light cameras, and/or reduced speed at top of Tank Hill. If you see a speed-board at a highway intersection for five days, and people at another intersection counting the number of trucks, and trucks running through red and yellow lights between 4 and 6 p.m., that will be the traffic survey crew.

NO SPOOKTACULAR AT HANEY VILLAGE. FOCUS ON MONTEBELLO BLOCK INSTEAD R.J. Haney Heritage Village is postponing Spooktacular this year to focus on the Canada 2017 Anniversary and the grand opening of the Montebello Block at the Village.

The building will be the new home for the museum and archives, and will have nine dioramas telling the history of Salmon Arm. The Montebello Project is the City of Salmon Arm’s designated cornerstone infrastructure project for 2017. Bill Laird, honourary chair of the Heritage Village’s Fund Development Committee, said, “Thanks to the support from the city, we are pulling out all the stops, and moving full steam ahead on a campaign to raise donations and pledges.” He was pleased to note that there have been over $700,000 in local commitments to date for the 1.4 million dollar project.

WENATCHEE HAS BIG HOCKEY PLAYERS The Wenatchee Wild Jr. A. hockey team has joined the BCHL’s Mainland Division, and had not been beaten since the new season began. They visited the Interior Division, and played Salmon Arm Silverbacks on Friday, Oct. 2. There was a lot of boarding all evening, and many penalties. They tied at 4-4, and could not break the tie in two overtimes, according to http://bchl.ca.

The next evening, Wenatchee Wild could not beat West Kelowna Warriors, losing 2-4. They could have been tired from boarding the previous night in our Shaw Centre.

On Saturday, Oct. 3, Silverbacks beat Trail Smoke Eaters 5-2. It was a good game!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP PRESERVE MEMORIES? When a newborn baby is near death or has died, a volunteer photographer can be called to take black and white pictures of the baby with his or her parents. Pictures will be taken again after the baby has been taken off life support and is free of tubes. The pictures give grieving parents some comfort. If you wish to be a volunteer photographer of mostly perinatal infants who have died, go to www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org for training.

NEW TECHNOLOGY USED IN THE NEW CURRICULUM The new BC school curriculum incorporates new technology, getting away from textbook learning, and using modern devices. Mostly teachers were involved in forming the new curriculum.

CHECKOUT CHARITY How do you feel when asked at a store’s checkout if you’d like to donate to a charity? Often it’s $2. The employees don’t like it. I do not feel guilty when I say no.

I don’t know how the money is spent, and how much is kept by the store for administration. A receipt for income tax purposes is never provided. It’s easy to say no. Try it the next time you are asked. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831

flaked tuna. They looked at it and said, ‘huh?’”

Isako and Noriko went into town every day for English lessons and outings with the group. The drive into town with Bill was always a high point. He would point out names of things they passed like ‘Salmon River’ or ‘Mount Ida’ and quiz them.

“They had so much fun, they were squealing.”

In the evenings the four of them would sit around the table as Bill and Shirley would help them practice their English. Even then, the girls started telling them they would have to come to Japan for a visit, and Bill and Shirley said one day they would.

After Isako and Noriko went back to Tokyo, they didn’t let let the couple forget the invitation.

“They kept phoning us – at 4 o’clock in the

morning, laughing, saying, ‘When are you going to come to Japan?’”

The constant phone calls did the trick. They booked their flight for February the following year.

“We were on a shoestring budget,” says Bill. But they found it didn’t matter, they

“We couldn’t buy anything – they covered everything,” says Bill. They were treated to dinner, hotels, presents, and even a trip to

In 1997, Isako brought her fiancé Gou Ishijima to Salmon Arm to meet with Bill and Shirley. Two years later, Gou and Isako were married in Tokyo, and Bill and Shirley were honoured guests at their wedding. Four

years later, Bill and Shirley stopped in Tokyo while on their way to visit their son in Sydney, Australia.

They were excited to meet Gou and Isako’s 5-month-old baby, Nodoka.

As the years went on they lost touch entirely with Isako due to accumulation of technological changes, combined with circumstances.

The BC interior area code went from 604 to 250, their email provider was bought out and the addresses changed, and they moved from Gleneden to Salmon Arm. “In May of this year we received an excited phone call saying, ‘We want to come to Salmon Arm.’’’ Isako had found them, and the ‘we’ included three children Nodoka, 14, Jouji ,11, and Yuzu, 7.

friends&neighbours

by Leah Blain “She wanted the kids to meet us.”

It was only fitting that the children should meet them, because addressing the picture of Bill and Shirley with the 5-month-old Nodoka was part of their upbringing.

“Every morning they would tell the kids to say good morning to Bill and Shirley,” he says, getting a little choked up.

The week-long trip was slated for August.

Bill and Shirley met them at the Vancouver airport. It was a tearful and joyous reunion, complete with Isako’s squealing with happiness.

“We fell in love with them instantly,” says Bill about the children.

By the end of the week they felt they really had three new grandchildren. The children ‘were in absolute heaven,’ playing on the local tennis courts

where there were no lineups or time limits.

They had fun doing a jigsaw puzzle, going on the pontoon boat, going through the corn maze, and going to Askew’s with Bill.

The week flew by, and before they knew it, they were at the Vancouver airport again, saying goodbye.

They won’t be losing touch again – the bond, which was never really broken, is now firmly cemented. What they have, Bill and Shirley try to explain, isn’t just a personal bond, it’s also a cultural one.

“This relationship has endured 24 years and pays tribute to cultural exchanges made between two countries,” says Bill. “I strongly recommend everyone who can to participate in these exchanges – the rewards are phenomenal.”

What started as a phone call out of the blue turned into a friendship that spanned over two decades, a generation, and an ocean. In 1991, Bill and Shirley Barker were asked if they were interested in taking in a Japanese student. They didn’t realize then what impact their decision would have.

“We were called by a person who knew our kids,” says Bill recalling the original phone call from the program organizer. “She said she was impressed with our boys and asked us if we were interested in taking a Japanese girl.

It was out of the blue.”

Bill and Shirley were empty-nesters, and Shirley had just got her real estate business license two weeks earlier. They were apprehensive that their old house in Gleneden might be a little too rustic, but the idea took hold and they decided it would be better to take two girls.

It was 11 o’clock at night when the group arrived at the (former) Elks Hall. Bill and Shirley’s billets were Isako and Noriko. They immediately hit it off, and the girls responded to Shirley’s warm personality and Bill’s constant teasing and joking. Dictionaries and sketch art helped them communicate and it was always accompanied by laughter.

It was a little more difficult, however, for the girls to deal with Canadian food. “One of the first suppers we made was a huge pot of Uncle Ben’s rice. The girls looked at it and wouldn’t touch it. They took less than a teaspoon and they left some. It was horrible for them,” says Bill.

At the end of the first week a big box arrived at the Greyhound from Japan full of Japanese treats: chips, crackers, tins of curry paste, and tea.

“Before long they were giving us cooking lessons and feeding us,” says Bill, laughing.

“They taught us to make sushi,” says Shirley, “they asked us for tuna and we got the

North Shuswap Better at Home

Announcement

The Shuswap Better at Home program offers our congratulations to the newly formed North Shuswap Better at Home Advisory and would like to thank members for their willingness to champion the development of services that will enable North Shuswap seniors to remain independent and in their own homes. We have welcomed members representing Scotch Creek, Celista and Anglemont and hope to soon include members representing Lee Creek, St Ives and Seymour Arm. Carol Maclean-Angus has been chosen by the NSBAH Advisory to act as the North Shuswap Better at Home Outreach Coordinator, a position that will support the work of the Advisory. Over the coming weeks Carol and the Advisory members will be surveying North Shuswap seniors. Please give them all a pat on the back for their community spirit when you meet them and stay tuned for more news! For more information call Shuswap BAH Coordinator Wysteria Sholtz at 250-253-2749 or sbahintake@outlook.com.

By Leah Blain On January 16, in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, 68-year-old Ted Bos lost his battle with cancer. His son, Ian Bos, has embarked on a cross-Canada walk in memory of his father and in honour of the excellent care he received at the Aberdeen Palliative Care Society.

“On my walk across Canada, I will endeavour to raise $25,000.

They (other patients) too deserve the same incredible support that my family was fortunate enough to have,” says Bos. “We are all affected by illness at some point in our lives, whether it be a family member, a friend, or a colleague.”

This Monday, October 12, the Shuswap Hospice

SOUTH SHUSWAP HEALTH SERVICES SOCIETY As it was National Seniors’ Day on October 1, it is a good time to have a look at how seniors living in Columbia-Shuswap Area C compare with seniors living elsewhere in BC. The first thing you notice when examining the 2006 Stats Canada reports is that the percentage of seniors age 65 and older living in Area C is higher (28%) than the percentage of seniors living throughout BC (14.5%). Surprisingly it is even higher than the percentage of seniors living in Victoria (18.4%) and those living in Kelowna (19%), but slightly less than the percentage of seniors living in White Rock (29%).

Where are all these seniors living in our area? Most prefer to continue to living in their own homes for as long as possible. But, as they age that becomes increasingly difficult, especially in rural areas where fewer community supports are available. At about age 75 many seniors begin looking around to see what accommodation is available for them to move into. What will they find in this area? Not much, according to information provided by the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) especially if you wanting to move into an assisted or independent living space where meals, some housekeeping, laundry and some personal care services are available. According to a CMHC report issued in 2015, there are 169 non-profit assisted living units and 358 for-profit assisted living units in the Thompson-Shuswap region.

Anecdotal information tells us that is not enough and the volunteers at South Shuswap Health Services Society (SSHSS) often hear stories of seniors struggling to live independently who should be in a smaller home or an assisted living unit, but no suitable units are available. Often it seems the situation must reach crisis proportions before a space is found for them or the senior must move elsewhere to find suitable housing, leaving behind their community and their friends.

That is why SSHSS has formed a housing committee to undertake to find the resources to undertake a feasibility study to determine what the need for seniors’ housing is in their area.

There is one piece of good news for seniors living in BC. We have the longest life expectancy of any of the the provinces: 80.25 for men and 84.4 for women.

For more information on the activities of the South Shuswap Health Services Society, call 250-8325932, 250-804-3637, or visit our website at www.sshss.ca

Society will be hosting Ian from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Admission is by donation.

“We’re honoured to be part of Ian’s journey,” says Sue McCrae, President of S h u s w a p Hospice Society.

“We’re hoping a lot of people will come to meet him and hear his story. We appreciate his campaign to raise awareness and funds for hospice and palliative care. All the funds donated will stay in our community and support our programs.”

Bos says without palliative care, the precious time they had together with his father simply wouldn’t have been possible.

“They were not just caregivers or medical professionals; they became family to us by treating Dad like a family member, not a patient.”

McCrae says although Shuswap Hospice has been around for 29 years, many people in the community aren’t aware of the services they provide.

“We provide compassionate emotional

support to the dying and the bereaved in the Shuswap. Although we’ve been here almost three decades,

ing from Interior Health Authority but depends on donations and memorial gifts from the public and

many people don’t realize there is support for those who are struggling to cope with death and the associated emotional realities of the process. Our services are free to anyone who needs them.”

Although Bos is donating monies raised to the local communities, he is relying on the kindness of those he meets to help him on his cross-Canada walk – “whether it be a bed to sleep in, a warm meal, a gift card for a local supermarket, or just some company on the walk for a kilometre...” he says.

Shuswap Hospice receives partial fund-

service organizations to help them provide programs and services to the communities of the Shuswap.

“We do count on events like these to raise money but we’re also hoping people will come away with a greater understanding of the compassionate help that is available,” says S h u s w a p H o s p i c e Administrator Victoria Olynik.

“At Shuswap Hospice we don’t want anyone to have to deal with death alone.”

For more information visit the Shuswap Hospice website at www.shuswaphospice. ca or visit them on Facebook.

Seeking help

19 Mile resident Gary Bales awoke on the evening of Friday, September 25, to find his home burning around him. A disability pension recipient, Gary had been unable to afford insurance, and that night he lost not only his home, but his shed, tools, vehicle, and his dog Annie, who was pregnant.

It has been estimated that his loss exceeds $50,000, and he is seeking help from the community to assist him in rebuilding a life.

He can receive donations made directly to his TD bank account, #3120164, inst #004, transit # 93600.

Gary appreciates any help that might come his way.

HEALTH & BEAUTY Artificial sweeteners

In striving for a healthier diet, people are avoiding sugars due to the increased calories and subsequent weight gain.

While reducing sugar is an important step towards increased health, it is not an easy process. It is known that our taste buds and the nervous system become accustomed to the sweetness of sugar, and removing it from the diet can be a challenge. In fact, the best way to reduce your sugar levels is to try to completely eliminate it cold turkey. Most people will go through a sometimes challenging 7-14 day “withdrawal period” when they really crave it. However, like any addiction, these cravings will subside and most people will then find a lot of the old foods to be far too sweet.

Another way to reduce sugar that the processed food companies promote as a healthy alternative is though artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, aspartic acid, or sucralose (Splenda). While this may seem like a healthy alternative, don’t be fooled.

When one consumes something sweet that has no calories, the brain is tricked into thinking it has consumed a naturally sweet food. In fact, the body usually thinks you have consumed something quite dense that would normally con-

decrease. However, since this is false sweetness, the adrenal glands will then increase cortisol (stress hormones) to free up stored sugar from the liver.

Increasing the stress hormone cortisol is the last thing we want, as it increases inflammation, suppresses immunity, and lowers thyroid function – can you say stress, exhaustion, cancer and heart disease...?

Cooking aspartame creates formaldehyde which causes cancer. Aspartic acid (found in aspartame) is also a nerve stimulant that can destroy nerve cells. Sucralose in basically chlorinated sugar, which has been found to upset digestion, lead to digestive diseases and even leukemia.

The bottom line is, avoid all artificial sweeteners and try to go “cold turkey” on regular sugars for two weeks. You will find your sugar cravings will greatly reduce, your insides will thank you for it and you’ll likely start dropping some weight. When our taste buds are not overstimulated, healthy foods that seemed bland in the past will now have just the right amount of sweetness.

Letters to the Editor

Ashamed of a Canada changing for the worse

I am writing this letter out of a sense of deep shame and embarrassment. In listening to some of my fellow citizens, it appears to me that my Canada is changing, and not for the better. The current government has had over nine years of making significant changes. Harper has repeatedly stated that he is “being clear” about what he is doing (and plans to do). Let me be clear – he is NOT working for this Canadian and much of what has been done has been behind closed doors (such as the TPP, cuts to the CBC, elimination of research stations, etc.).

I am ashamed that so many environmental laws have been slashed. I am ashamed of huge omnibus bills which included legislation which should have been debated. I am ashamed that scientists and technicians have been silenced and many fired (over 800 at Environment Canada alone), making it increasingly difficult for politicians and citizens to make informed choices. I am ashamed that the living wage in Canada is so low that last November our local Salvation Army food bank had 2,200 visits. I am embarrassed by our poor international reputation at the diplomatic and scientific level. I am ashamed at the level of child poverty in our country. I am ashamed of what many of our trans-national corporations are doing in some developing nations. I am embarrassed by the federal reluctance to fully engage our First Nations. The list goes on….

Our government believes that I am primarily a tax payer who wants, as Mel Arnold repeatedly states, more money in my pocket. I deeply resent this perspective. Yes, fiscal responsibility and jobs are important, but we are more than taxpayers – we are citizens and that means caring about others around us and the world we live in. If our collective moral compass is primarily pointing at the money each of us can

keep, I fear for our future. We receive constant messages from government and media that we are in fragile positions (economically, socially, internationally threatened, etc.) causing us to feel afraid and protective of our own goods. Yet solid information shows that we are safer than ever. At the same time, we have been through a few generations where the focus in our society has been the individual and his/her wealth (apparently ensuring happiness). Hence we see so many of our seniors being primarily concerned about their pensions and private property and so many in a younger generation who are anxious and disengaged from our broader society.

We need a more inclusive vision of Canada where citizens are concerned for the welfare of others. A country that wants to see their elders supported by the community and a younger generation freed from a crippling $15 billion student debt. A place that wants to see a healthy environment that is protected and loved and where we think more about compassion than about building bigger jails. A place where we listen more closely to what First Nation peoples are saying. A country where we think more about making peace than about war and where refugees are warmly welcomed.

I strongly believe we can and should be doing better as a country. We live with tremendous freedoms, with a high level of collective wealth, and an environment that is still mostly beautiful. We can work together as citizens to make our country a better place. That includes spending tax dollars, remaining informed, and most of all, maintaining a deep sense of caring for others. We need to choose leaders that will embody and fight for these principles. And that, in a nutshell, is what this election is about.

Dr. Art Borkent, Salmon Arm

TFSAs and the election

As I am far from being an economic adviser to anyone, let me repeat a message about a federal government program brought in by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative government in 2009.

It is my understanding this is a program that prevents Canadians from having to pay income tax on any interest earned on their money they have saved under this program.

It is my understanding if re-elected, the Conservatives will allow even more savings under this program. The Liberals have promised to discontinue this program under the guise it only benefits “rich” Canadians?

Write us!

It is my understanding the Liberals, under Justin Trudeau, have stated that if elected, they (Liberals) intend to do away with this tax saving program for Canadians. Trudeau has also told us one of first things he would do is to increase spending that to the point where it could quicken Canada’s slide toward the $trillion dollar national debt mark and the Tax Free Savings Program would be gone.

Ask yourself if will you vote for a party that has promised to take more of your hard-earned money away directly and through taxation.

Be careful who you vote for on October 19th.

One of the worst

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Letters to the Editor

I find it interesting that two people living in the same area can see events so differently. M. Leggett, in her October 2 letter, states that Harper has been the best prime minister that Canada has had. I see him as one of the worst.

During his reign of 10 years the national debt has increased to by $300 billion to $1,000 billion.

From 1997 to 2006 under Liberal governments, the national debt remained exactly the same at $700 billion.

So much valuable scientific knowledge has been lost during the past 10 years, with 16 national research libraries being closed. Most of the research information from those libraries has been recycled or sent to landfills.

I am distressed by the current fear propaganda that the government is spreading, that we need to fear Muslims as there is a high likelihood that they will be terrorists. This is not the Canada that I thought I knew and loved.

Joyce Henderson, Salmon Arm

Hide, says Harper

Harper has warned us. Hide! The terrorists are coming! And those darn Arabs are coming too, so close the doors! The debt may soon rise and destroy us all! Hang on to your money! There may be bad Canadians among us, so everything everyone does must be open to anyone in the government! And there is no global warming. It is all the fault of the media and those left-wing foreign agents. So close your ears and stop reading! There is still more doom coming too, so hide!

Maybe it’s time we have Hide Under The Bed Parties. We can get together with friends and hide under someone’s big bed. We can cry and shake and pray that Harper gets re-elected so he will stop scaring us ... until the next time he wants something from us.

And, wouldn’t it be nice if Harper was re-elected and Trump becomes president of the USA. Then we could have a real-life Laurel and Hardy show better than any made for the movies.

Canadians should be concerned

Perhaps I can be of some help to last week’s writer in Lakeshore News who claims that she has not yet heard any good reason for replacing Mr. Harper.

Did you know that Harper is the first Canadian Prime Minister that has been found to be in contempt of Parliament? And that there are already over a dozen books written which reveal Harper as a stealthy autocrat? In this sense, it is easy to agree with the writer that Harper certainly trumps all those that were before him!

One of the most recent books is Kevin Page’s Unaccountable: Truth and Lies on Parliament Hill. In March 2008, Page was appointed by the Conservatives to be the country’s first Parliamentary Budget Officer. The move fulfilled a Tory campaign promise to deliver greater transparency and accountability. But when Page challenged

the government on several issues, he was simply vilified and his term was not extended. In this insider’s account, Page argues that democracy is being undermined by an increasingly autocratic government that does not respect facts that run counter to its political agenda.

Readers will find that every book emphasizes the reasons why Canadians should be concerned. We learn of the breadth and depth of the Harper attack on institutions, policies and programs that embody values and principles valued by most Canadians today. And should one not have the time to read a book, there is a summary of documented information on the internet.

Simply google Harper: Serial Abuser of Power: The Evidence Compiled.

This election is a serious decision about ourselves as a country.

M.P. Lacasse, Sicamous

Leave baggage at home

Mr. D. Murray’s letter “My Canada Is A Welcoming Country To All Cultures” [Lakeshore News, September 25, 2015] deserves a reply.

Be careful of what you ask for. I have not seen any signs that our current population of Muslims (nearing one million) have been a positive influence on Canada. I truly wish that they would leave their “baggage” whence they came, and become Canadians like all of the earlier immigrants. But, this is not the case. Once their suitcases are unpacked, the demands begin, and I’m

tired of it. I have no problem with them (legally) practicing their culture at home but I do strenuously object when they insist on having parts of it included in the mainstream of Canada. None of our earlier immigrants have done this.

So, if Mr. Murray is fine with his position, perhaps he might consider contacting Immigration Canada and sponsoring one the many thousands of refugees seeking a better life to come and live with him and his family.

Learning to Drive

When her husband gets another 7-year itch and leaves her for a younger woman, Wendy (Patricia Clarkson) finds her carefully controlled life in upheaval. Having always depended on her husband for driving and now wishing to visit her daughter (Grace Gummer) upstate, Wendy begins taking driving lessons from Darwan (Ben Kingsley), who makes his living driving so he may stay close to his Sikh culture and not alter his appearance for another job. But he is also facing his own potential marriage problems as he contemplates an arranged marriage to a woman he has never met. The two form a friendship that teaches them both to face the unpredictable, communicate with those around them, and ultimately take control of their lives beyond the wheel of the car.

The film was runner up for the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival in 2014.

Learning to Drive shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 10th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Foundation celebrates 20 years

The SCF Board of Directors arranged a dinner last Thursday at the Prestige Harbourfront Hotel to honour the Founders of the Foundation. Twenty years ago, 65 people donated $70,000 to the Foundation and their vision has grown to $7.3 million. From this growth, SCF has awarded just under $2 million in grants over the past 20 years to registered non-profit groups in the Shuswap. To commemorate their founders, a

Celebrate Credit Union Day with SASCU

On October 15, 2015, credit unions and their members will celebrate International Credit Union Day. This annual event commemorates the credit union movement’s impact and achievements globally,

nationally and in local communities.

To mark this special day, everyone is welcome to drop by any of SASCU Credit Union’s four branches in the Shuswap for coffee and treats.

This year’s theme, “People Helping People” embraces the long-standing credit union philosophy,” says Michael Wagner, CEO, SASCU Financial Group. “Credit unions are recognized as a force for positive economic and social change. Each year, SASCU commits 4% of its net operating income to the SASCU C o m m u n i t y Sponsorship Program; since 2009, we’ve granted over $1 million in funds to local non-profit organizations to support projects and events in the community.”

Credit unions are co-operative financial institutions, owned and controlled by their members. They provide an effective and viable alternative to commercial banks and other financial institutions for over 217 million members in 105 countries worldwide. In fact, about one out of every three Canadians belongs to a credit union. Becoming a member is as easy as opening an account and purchasing $5 in equity shares.

I think it is time to give you a helping of financial meat and potatoes again. It’s been a while, but I have been asked a few times lately about the Disability Tax Credit (DTC), so I figured I’d write an article to touch on the topic.

The DTC is a tax credit that can be claimed on

your tax return, but only if you meet certain criteria and ultimately are approved by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The federal amount of the DTC for the 2015 tax year is $7,899 and provincially the amount is $7,454. What does it mean for those who qualify?

Well, a tax credit of $7,899 sounds fantastic, but you need to understand what a tax credit is before you get too excited. A tax credit is a credit against the amount of tax you have payable, which is different than an income tax deduction. So if you have enough other credits (personal tax credit, pension credit, age credit etc.) which results in having no taxes payable; then the disability tax credit won’t necessarily help you.

The other thing to note is that a credit doesn’t result in you receiving a reduction of your taxes by $7,899. Instead, these credits are actually calculated as 15% of the amount of the federal disability amount and 5.06% of the provincial disability amount. So all told, the maximum amount you’ll have your income taxes payable reduced is approximately $1,560 for 2015.

by Daron Mayes However, something is better than nothing!

Even if the DTC doesn’t help you reduce your income taxes payable because your income is low; there are other reasons you would still want to apply. For instance, it can be transferred to a caregiver like your spouse and help them reduce their taxes payable. Secondly, qualifying for the DTC is a requirement to claim certain medical expenses.

Lastly, it is a requirement to qualify for a Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) which is a topic we’ll touch on in a later article, but can be very advantageous should a person qualify.

So, how do you qualify for the DTC? Well, you’ll have to wait until next week’s article as I’ve run out of room. However, you should know that the criteria to qualify is fairly stringent. For instance, don’t assume that just because you receive a Canada Pension Plan disability amount that you’ll automatically qualify to receive the DTC. Anyway, we’ll give you the rest of the details next week!

Haney plans community celebration

What better place to celebrate Canada’s 150th on Canada Day 2017 than Salmon Arm’s R. J. Haney Heritage Village?

The Board of Directors of the R.J. Haney Heritage Village is planning a celebration for the whole community. The Directors have decided to mark this national event with the grand opening of the Montebello Block - a new museum, archives, and 9 dioramas all housed in a multipurpose building at the Village.

The Montebello Project is the City of Salmon Arm’s designated cornerstone infrastructure project for 2017. Last week Bill Laird, Honourary Chair of the Heritage Village’s Fund Development Committee, said, “Thanks to the support from the City, we are pulling out all the stops, and moving full steam ahead on a campaign to raise donations and pledges.” Laird was pleased to note that there have been over $700,000 in local commitments to date for the 1.4 million dollar project.

The name Montebello Block is taken from a local historic landmark, the Montebello Hotel. Built in 1908, the upscale hotel had indoor plumbing, a bar, and pool

tables. The building stood at the corner of Hudson and Alexander and remained an iconic part of downtown Salmon Arm until it was consumed by fire in 1967, tragically claiming two lives, destroying several other businesses, and changing the community landscape forever.

So what does the Montebello Block offer that makes it worthy of its name? Just as the original hotel was an architectural keystone in Salmon Arm’s downtown core, the Montebello Block is the architectural presence that will make R. J. Haney Heritage Village feel complete, as if it is densely populated like the core was more than 100 years ago.

A lot of thought has gone into the design of the Montebello Block. The front façade will give the appearance of several smaller buildings, each representing key elements of a community that are currently missing from the Village. Historic photographs of downtown Salmon Arm have served as inspiration for the façade’s designs. However, the focus is more on representation than replication of any particular building. The exhibits will reflect authentic early day Salmon Arm businesses

such as the Bank of Hamilton, the E.A. Palmer Butcher Shop, and the S.M. McGuire General Merchant Store and Miss Puff’s dress shop and millinery.

The Board of Directors recognizes the commitment that will be required from the staff and volunteers to complete a project of this enormity and quality. With the community celebration in mind for July 1, 2017, the Board believes that staff and volunteers will need to focus on the Montebello Block project during this fall and winter to ensure that construction can start no later than the spring of 2016.

“This is a legacy project and we need to complete it on time and within budget,” says President Norma Harisch.

“With this focus in mind, the Board made the difficult decision to cancel the popular annual Spooktacular event for this year,” said Harisch, “but I am sure we will be back stronger than ever next year,” she added.

For more information about the Montebello Block, how to make a donation or pledge to the project, or to volunteer please contact the Village at 250-832-5243.

Getting all the attention

Yes, a feature wall can make your room feel smaller and more cluttered. I said that in the last column and have had some questions from readers about this, so here is the why of it all.

It really all stems from the fact that our eyes notice first, and place most importance on, something that is different from its surroundings.

Visualize three vases on a window sill: two are blue and one is red. The red one is the first one you will notice; it becomes so important to your eye that you may not even realize that the other two are blue.

A wall in a different colour than the adjacent walls will jump to the forefront. It can’t help but do that because it is high contrast. So if the wall becomes the most important thing to your eye, it will also appear larger, and therefore, closer than it really is.

There is the colour theory that warm colours advance and cool colours recede. This theory says that a cold blue wall will make the wall appear further away – making the room appear larger and a red wall will make the room appear smaller.

The advancing/receding effect

may be true in some applications, but my experience in the home decor world says that the temperature of the colour is less important than the contrast value.

A cold blue wall in a white room will be just as commanding as a red wall in a white room.

And this whole contrast/colour idea applies to drapes, furniture and blinds.

Once you get this contrast concept firmly planted in your decor brain, it becomes a lot easier to understand how you can make a room appear larger and calmer.

Which is what we tend to strive for in our living spaces.

Keep the contrast to a minimum.

Contrast creates visual clutter. And clutter does not add to the feeling of calm. I define clutter as anything that does not belong in the design plan of the room. Which is not to say you can’t live in the room; living creates stuff and clutter. But it does mean that the backdrop to your living should be as clutter-free as possible.

Visit the website, Designsewlutions.ca, for some visuals of these concepts.

Free fall yard waste drop-off period returns

The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) reminds residents that the fall free yard and garden waste drop-off period at all RDNO recycling and disposal facilities (RDFs) runs from October 15, 2015 to November 30, 2015.

Trimmings, prunings, leaves, grass, mulch, and other organic material less than 20 cm in diameter originating from yard and garden maintenance will be accepted free-of-charge at the Greater Vernon, Armstrong/Spallumcheen, and Lumby RDFs, and the Kingfisher and Cherryville Transfer Stations (TSs) during this time. This program is for yard and garden waste self-hauled by residents or from municipal residential collection programs only.

“Free yard waste drop-off periods are traditionally very busy at our facilities,” according to Dale Danallanko, RDNO Recycling and Facilities Operations Manager. “Please ensure your load is adequately secured with a tarp or

cargo net, follow the signs and directions from facility staff, and be sure to empty all bags and boxes containing yard and garden waste. Your patience and cooperation is appreciated during the free drop-off period,” he adds.

Rocks, concrete, plastic, and refuse must not be deposited in the yard waste piles. These materials contaminate the piles and make them unsuitable for composting.

The fee for yard and garden waste at all RDNO RDFs and TSs during the remainder of the year is $20 per metric tonne (two cents per kilogram). Operating hours for each of the RDFs and TSs are posted online at www.rdno.ca and at each facility. Check with your local municipal office for more information about yard and garden waste collection programs available in your area.

For further information, please contact the RDNO at 250-550-3700 or recycle@rdno.ca.

Kindale shopping spree winner

Kindale Developmental Association is pleased to announce that the treasure winner from the sold out 28thth Annual Autumn Celebration is Isobel Kay from Armstrong. Isobel has been attending the event for six years and was extremely excited to win the spree which will be happening at Askew’s Foods in Armstrong on Saturday, October 10th at 8:30 a.m. The public is welcome to join the celebration and cheer her on.

“It’s been several years since we have had a shopping spree,” says Askew’s Armstrong Store Manager Dave Wallace. After the event in 2014, Dave was eager to look at trying something new to raise additional funds for Kindale at the ever popular Autumn Celebration event. Askew’s has been part of this event since the very beginning.

“Woohoo! We are very excited about the shopping spree and are proud to announce that the grand total of $18,000 was raised this year,” says Cindy Masters, Kindale Development Officer.

“I’m so excited about the shopping spree, I can’t remember hearing about having one in the Okanagan for several years.”

Just as excited is Isobel who will be meeting with the Askew’s Team prior to Saturday to strategically plan the spree route.

100% of the funds raised at the autumn event will be used to make the hopes, wishes and dreams come true for the individuals with diverse abilities served by Kindale.

The Province of British Columbia is again recognizing October as Community Living Month – a salute to people with diverse abilities who are volunteering, working, and contributing to their communities throughout the province.

This is the 17th year Community Living Month has been proclaimed by the province.

Doggie dental care

By Emily Corrie Although you will most likely take a yearly trip to the dentist, you might rarely think of your dog’s dental health. Yet, just like your own pearly whites, your dog’s teeth need regular care and cleaning to prevent Periodontal Disease.

After your dog eats his daily meal, food particles and bacteria adhere to the teeth and gumline and form plaque. After a couple of days, if this plaque is not removed, it begins to form a cement-like material called tartar. Tartar is irritating to the gums and causes them to become inflamed. As more tartar builds up under the gums, it causes the gum and the tooth to separate and thus creates a “pocket” that encourages even more bacterial growth and damage. This inflammation is called periodontal disease and causes damage to the gums, roots, bones, and ligaments that anchor the teeth in place. But periodontal disease doesn’t just affect the mouth: bacteria can enter the bloodstream and create health problems elsewhere in the body like the kidneys and the heart. It might be hard to believe, but failing to care for your dog’s teeth can cause big problems in the long term.

It can be difficult for owners to decipher if their dog has a dental problem brewing. Signs will include bad breath, brown teeth, swollen/red gums, and difficulties chewing. Often, dogs will stoically ignore the pain until it becomes unbearable, because they are evolutionarily designed not to display weakness.

Small breeds and brachycephalic breeds (dogs with short noses) are more prone to developing problems, but by the age of three most dogs— regardless of breed—will show some sign of periodontal disease. To ensure that your dog’s mouth is healthy, your best bet is to have it examined once a year by a veterinarian.

To stop the progression of periodontal disease, your veterinarian may need to anesthetize your

dog and thoroughly clean its teeth and possibly remove severely damaged teeth. Sedation-free teeth scaling—a service provided by some non-veterinarians—is not an effective means of cleaning the teeth because it is impossible to clean below the gumline (which is where the problems occur) without sedating the patient and because scaling the teeth without polishing them after leaves the teeth with many tiny scratches that ultimately make it easier for tartar to resume building up. Scaling the teeth without sedation may make your dog’s teeth beautifully white once again, but it does not actually address the main issue.

Periodontal disease is entirely preventable. Let your dog chew on toys made of dense rubber or rawhide strips and keep in mind that chewing on hard items can shatter your dog’s teeth (a good rule of thumb is that you shouldn’t give your dog something to chew on if you wouldn’t want to be hit in the knee cap with it). Feeding your dog dry kibble is not an effective means to remove plaque and tartar because the kibble is too brittle and shatters easily. Specially-formulated dental foods are more effective at helping to keep teeth clean because the kibbles are larger and denser. The most effective thing you can do is to brush your dog’s teeth once a day. Brushing irregularly will not be as effective since it only takes a few hours for food particles to turn into plaque. Make it a game and your dog will look forward to having its teeth brushed every day!

Canuck roster pays nearly $40 million in income tax

VANCOUVER – As the puck drops on another Vancouver Canucks season, so does another year of collecting income tax from the players. A new joint Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) and Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) study, Major Penalty for High Taxes, shows last year’s Canuck players paid $39.7 million in income taxes to the federal and BC governments.

The 25 players on last year’s Canuck roster earned a combined $88 million CDN, meaning more than 45 per cent of their salaries would have gone to income taxes. (See below for each player’s estimate, and a government service their taxes may have funded.)

“This kind of revenue is why government needs to offer a competitive tax environment to attract and keep high income earners in B.C. – whether hockey players, entrepreneurs, doctors, engineers or others,” said Jordan Bateman, CTF B.C. Director. “Put another way, these 25 Canucks paid the salaries of 530 teachers. Or half the improvements to Royal Inland Hospital. Every 18 months, the Canucks pay enough in tax to build a new high school somewhere in BC.” The CTF/ATR report contends that places with higher taxes struggle to attract and keep highly mobile, wealthy income earners, and lose out on the benefits those people bring.

“In Canada, people are moving from the high-tax provinces in the east to the lower-tax provinces in the west. Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba all have seen negative interprovincial migration since 2005 and they also all have higher income taxes,” the report notes.

Provincial tax rates mean Vancouver has the third best income tax rate among Canadian NHL cities, behind Edmonton and Calgary. The Canucks rank ninth overall, nearly five percentage points more than Dallas, Florida, Tampa Bay and Nashville.

Here’s a list of how much the report estimates last year’s Canucks paid in income tax, and a government service that money could have purchased: Henrik Sedin (salary: $9.4 million, taxes: $4.3 million) – startup funding for the Aboriginal

Wednesday was the second of 7 regular season meetings with the Centennials, and the Silverbacks opened the season series with a 7-5 win Tuesday, September 15th in the Nicola Valley. The ‘Backs played catchup in the first period after the Cents opened the scoring and lead 5-3 after 20 minutes.

Carson Bolduc and Ross Heidt each scored twice as the Silverbacks finished ahead on the shot clock as well, 48-28.

The ‘Backs penalty-kill is ranked second in the BCHL at 88.89% with 4 short-handed goals and 6 power-play markers against.

Merritt’s PK is 17th, at the bottom of the league at 64.44%. The Cents have allowed 16 power-play goals against and have scored 4 short-handed. The Silverbacks power-play is ranked ninth in the league at 18.37% and 9 goals, while the Cents have 11 power-play goals and sit fifth at 21.57%.

As well on Wednesday, the Penticton Vees (7-1) hosted the Trail Smoke Eaters (2-5) in the only game around league. The Vees have rattled off 7 consecutive wins after opening the season by losing 4-2 to the Silverbacks Friday, September 11th at the Shaw Centre.

The Silverbacks have 12 points in 8 games and are second in the Interior Division standings, 2 back of the Vees. The West Kelowna Warriors (5-3-0-1) sit third, 1 point behind the ‘Backs after the Warriors lost 3-2 last night in 4-on-4 OT at home to the Coquitlam Express

The Cents have scored 40 goals, while allowing 46 in their first 10 games.

He was predeceased by his wife Elvira of 60 years and by his daughter Karin.

He was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in summer 1966. His strong faith in the biblical promise of being resurrected back to life on a paradise earth provided much comfort.

Following the great success of its inaugural year, The Brick launches its second year as a partner of Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miracle Network in Canada. In its inaugural year of its partnership with Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miracle Network, The Brick raised nearly $700,000 for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitals across Canada.

The partnership underscores The Brickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to helping to improve the lives of children and their families.

The Brick is introducing the second edition of Brickley Bear to help raise funds for the organization.

Brickley Bear stuffed animals made by Gund are available in The Brickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 220 stores nationwide and online. 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of Brickley Bear go to Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miracle Network and go to support the local childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital serving the community.

The Brick is also accepting donations to Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miracle Network through the sale of Brickley Bear cut-outs to further support local childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitals.

The Brick will be matching every dollar donated through from September 1, 2015 to February 29, 2016 up to a maximum of $100,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Brick is a great Canadian retailer which has provided value to the homes of Canadians with a team of community caring staff that made the inaugural year of our partnership a great success,â&#x20AC;? said John Hartman, Chief Operating Officer, Canada, with Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miracle Network. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled to continue a partnership with The Brick that does have a real impact on the lives of children. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re elated to have help from The Brick in raising funds for the equipment and research that help to save the lives of ill and injured children. Brickley is a good friend and role model to kids, whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sick or healthy.â&#x20AC;?

Both The Brick and Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miracle Network believe in keeping funds in the region where they are raised. All proceeds from Brickley sales will go toward the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miracle Network member hospital that serves the community in which the purchase or donation was made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus of our campaign is all about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Helping to Improve the Lives of Children, Brick by Brickâ&#x20AC;?, noted Jim Caldwell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason we chose that name for our campaign is that we believe that every little bit counts towards making a real difference to the lives of children and their families. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it is all about â&#x20AC;&#x201C; improving lives and making a difference in our communities.â&#x20AC;?

Limited quantities of Brickley Bear are now available.

In a recent survey of 2,461 Canadians, when LW FRPHV WR GULYLQJ WUDIÂżF WR DXWRPRWLYH ZHEVLWHV or visits to a dealership, print and online newspapers rank highest. They outperform TV,

radio, magazines, autoTRADER, Kijiji and social media.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for better ROI from your advertising, perhaps more of your â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;? should be in newspapers.

SUDOKU

Capricorn, with so much on your schedule, you have to give some serious thought to prioritizing.

Otherwise, you may expend energy that cannot be wasted.

AQUARIUS

You have been indecisive of late, Aquarius. While you may not know which way to go regarding an important decision, trust your instincts and you won’t be unhappy.

PISCES

Treat yourself well this week, Pisces. Dine out at an upscale restaurant or indulge in a spa treatment. You deserve something special.

ARIES

Aries, delve deeper to get to know a new acquaintance more closely. There is more to this person than what you will see on the surface, so don’t hesitate to connect.

TAURUS

Taurus, expect to be pulled in a million directions over the next several days. Keep a cool head and you will handle this situation with the same flare you always do.

GEMINI

Take a step back and reassess a particular situation this week, Gemini. A step back and a new perspective might be just what you need to make the most of this situation.

CANCER

Cancer, you sometimes have a sixth sense about you, and it guides you through the tough decisions that need to be made. Rely on your intuition for something major this week.

LEO

Leo, you will be the king (or queen) of your domain this week. Others will respect your final decision on many issues, and you will feel comfortable being the head honcho.

VIRGO

Virgo, you cannot dictate every situation. Not only can you get frazzled, but also others may begrudge your taking over all of the time. Go with the flow once in a while.

LIBRA

Libra, if you have any tricks up your sleeve, now is a good time to pull them all out. People are expecting serious productivity and you can deliver.

SCORPIO

Scorpio, this week presents a great opportunity to allow a colleague to take over the reins of a big project. This person is fully capable and ready for the responsibility.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius, others may turn up at your door this week seeking assistance. Don’t be surprised by the sudden visitors, and do your best to send them off with what they need.
