Battle over pensions, pay stubs

Conservative Finance Minister Joe Oliver said for an employee earning $60,000 a year, the Ontario pension would reduce take-home pay by $1,000 a year, and similar payments by employers would lead to reduced employment.

The Green Party platform also promises to expand the

CPP, but provides no details.

Trudeau and Mulcair have both denied Harper’s allegation that they plan to eliminate pension income splitting. Both have also vowed to cancel the Conservative plan to raise the eligibility age for Old Age Security payments from 65 to 67, which would not take full

effect until 2029.

OAS is not a pension plan, but a taxpayer-funded program that pays $565 per month for all seniors, in addition to the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) that provides up to $766 per month to qualifying low-income seniors.

OP

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press Pensions and payroll deductions to finance them are a key battleground for the Oct. 19 federal election.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau sparked debate by endorsing the Ontario government’s plan to launch a provincial version of the Canada Pension Plan, with mandatory payroll deductions to finance it.

The Liberal Party platform says only that a Trudeau government “will work with the provinces and territories, workers, employers and retiree organizations to enhance the Canada Pension Plan.”

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has made a similar pledge to expand the CPP, noting that Ontario and Prince Edward Island have already put forward pension proposals. He plans to convene a meeting with provinces within six months of forming a government.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper has rejected mandatory expansion, but has said he would consider a system of voluntary additional contributions to CPP. The Conservatives have promoted an increase in tax-free savings account limits to $10,000 per year and income splitting for married seniors.

Vitamin D

Over the past several years I have written many articles showing the importance of daily Vitamin D3 supplementation for every Canadian. Vitamin D is essential as it supports many aspects of health and wellness. If you are not taking Vitamin D, perhaps this latest research paper will further encourage you to supplement your diet with this beneficial vitamin on a daily basis.

This last study I read on this topic was published last month (September 2015) in the Journal of the American Medical Association Neurology. It looked at the association between low vitamin D levels and cognitive decline in elderly people.

Low vitamin D levels are associated with abnormalities in brain structure, cognitive decline and dementia. To further investigate this, researchers followed a group of 382 older people for a period of eight years monitoring vitamin D levels in their blood, while also monitoring their cognitive function. The average age of the group was 75 years.

At the start of the study half of the participants were considered cognitively normal, 18% had dementia, and the last 32% had mild cognitive impairment.

Through the eight year study, regular blood samples were taken in order to measure vitamin D levels. It was concluded that low vitamin D status was associated with accelerated decline in cognitive function in people with a vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency.

So, regardless of whether an individual is functioning normally or has dementia or cognitive decline, Vitamin D is an extremely important supplement required by all. While the data cannot recommend vitamin D as a treatment for cognitive decline, it only make sense that everyone should benefit from its protective effects.

We recommend and carry top quality nutritional supplements including Vitamin D3 to support health and wellness. You do not need to be a patient in our practice to purchase any of our wellness products.

#1-661 Ross Street, Salmon Arm www.wellnesschiro.net

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that often begins to set in this time of year. Here in the Shuswap, our fall so far has been mild and full of sunshine, but the grey skies and white stuff are coming. Many people find that as the weather changes towards winter, they spend less time outdoors, and thus have less exposure to light. Light exposure is a major factor theorized to contribute to SAD each year.

If you find that as each winter approaches you become irritable, have a persistent low mood, have less energy, have drastic appetite or sleep pattern changes or trouble concentrating, exploring the possibility of SAD with your medical and mental health providers may be beneficial.

Many of my clients report increasing depressive symptoms this time of year. However, there are a few things you can try to help you cope, under the guidance of a mental health clinician and medical practitioner. Health supplements such as Vitamin D and Omega 3’s have been shown to be beneficial in decreasing depressive symptoms.

Ensuring light exposure, even with a synthetic light machine, may also help keep symptoms at bay. Most importantly, try and keep up your routine. Exercise can be moved to an indoor space, and turn the lights on at home in the evening – creating a bright environment may help you to stay up to your normal hour, rather than crashing with the kids early every evening!

Election issues

Continued from page 3. OAS is progressively taxed back for seniors whose combined income from other source exceeds $72,809.

In an interview last week, Harper said his government has provided the biggest increase in the GIS in 25 years, and defended the move to phase in a higher eligibility age for OAS, starting in 2023.

“We’re doing, frankly, what most other Western democratic countries do, make adjustments based on demographics,” Harper said.

A task force has been assembled to produce a report on the challenges faced by both urban and rural schools in School District 83, and parent representatives are needed.

The purpose of the urban-rural challenge task force is to provide a report to the School District 83 Board of Education on the educational, financial, human resource and organizational challenges of the urban-rural reality of schools in the district. In addition, the report should address the values and core goals envisioned for the educational environment.

This report will be due to the board by December 8, 2015.

The initial meeting was held October 8th.

A visioning session will be held Thursday, Oct. 22, 4:00–5:30 p.m.; a breakout session will be held Wednesday, Nov. 4, 1:00–5:00 p.m.; and a drafting session will

be held Monday, Nov. 16, 4:00–5:30 p.m.

The task force members are Glenn B o r t h i s t l e , Supertintendent; Jen Wilchuk, Trustee; Larissa Lutjen, Trustee, principal reps Scott Anderson, Jeff Abbott, Jodi Garries, Gene Doray, and Rob MacAulay; finance rep TBD; DPAC reps (2) TBD; teacher reps (2).

The District Parent Advisory Committee (DPAC) is looking for two parent representatives – one urban and one rural – to represent the parents of SD#83 on this task force. Your challenge is to reflect the thoughts and views that best represent most parents within the urban or rural demographic. In the event of multiple applications for these two positions, the DPAC executive will make the final selection.

The application deadline is Friday, October 16th.

Letters to the Editor Grateful for accident-site help

In the early morning of Monday, August 24th I had a close encounter with a cow elk just south of the Drive In by Enderby while riding my motorcycle to work, resulting in me lying on my back in the middle of 97A after some out-of-control gymnastic moves. Within a minute I heard a voice behind me announcing himself as a First Aid Attendant, that he was there to help me, and he was also a biker. He told me to stay still while he directed traffic. I wasn’t going anywhere!

Within a couple of minutes, two passing medics and a female nurse from Alberta stopped to assist. I was tended to by these folks until the ambulance and crew arrived on scene.

The ambulance crew Terry (thank you for the hand squeeze, I needed that) and her partner Ross carefully loaded me up and delivered me to the emergency ward at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital. There I came into the first class care of Dr. Glanville and RN Tracy.

I have had a few weeks to both heal and reflect on the happenings of that day. There is nothing that I can say to express my gratitude to the people that stopped to help me; they did so unconditionally and rendered aid to someone they didn’t know. To the ambulance crew who

were absolutely professional and caring; a huge thanks! To the staff at the hospital; what can I say – they were top notch! I got over being stitched up without freezing.

A special thank you to two folks: Bob Nuttall, who was the first person that stopped and made sure I was safe. He stayed at the scene long after I was gone and looked after getting my motorcycle loaded up and moved to Rod’s Towing.

Secondly, to a young lady named Lisa; turns out she is my neighbour, a neighbour I had never met. She collected and texted me the names of the people that stopped to help, she used my phone to conduct some business for me and even took the time to snap a couple of pics of me while I wasn’t at my best.

In addition to the above-named folks, thank you also to Megan Doyle, Jamie Couch, Brian Wess, Kim Jespersen, and of course my wife Beverly who became my nurse, personal chef and chauffeur.

I can’t repay you all with words but I can pay it forward, which I guarantee I will! I am grateful to be alive, and to have been exposed to caring humans who just stopped to help an old biker lying on the road.

Thanks.

Looking back through history: IN 1976, I LET MY NURSE’S REGISTRATION LAPSE It was one year since I left nursing in the Armstrong hospital, and a first year as a publisher of Shoppers’ Guide that I started in 1975. Sometimes I wrote about being in the Toastmistress Club in Vernon, where I overcame my fear of speaking in public and expressing myself in the newspaper.

In a dusty box of notes and speeches, I found my penciled items on yellow paper. Some day they would be in a speech, or in what has become Sidewalk Superintendent.

“I was afraid I might some day have too few (items), but I always have about two pages left over.”

“The past year has been the happiest in my life. I’ve had freedom to do my own thing.”

Early programming: “Sometimes I feel like a little girl trying to please her daddy, and so the most treasured compliments are those from my father in Watson, Saskatchewan.”

A SALESMAN TRIED TO SELL ME EQUIPMENT The classifieds for the first few issues of Shoppers’ Guide were typed on the typewriter at the nurse’s station in the Armstrong hospital when I was on night duty. The paper was put together on my kitchen table. When I started the paper in a Salmon Arm office a month later, I had a main piece of equipment: a manual typewriter.

“Just when I began to think I am accepted as a woman in business, someone comes along to deflate my ego.

“A salesman was in my office, trying to sell me equipment which he claimed would cut down some of my expenses. I was able to show him that although the equipment would increase office efficiency, in my office it would not cut down expenses. A former newspaperman, he asked me how much of the work I put into selling the ads and preparing the paper. When I told him, he said: ‘You need better equipment so you could come out regularly, because people will demand it.’ I asked if he meant weekly. He replied: ‘Weekly or every second week.’ I told him my paper has not been an hour late since I started it. Unbelieving, he said a weak ‘That’s good’ and left.”

SPEAKING TO GRADE 10 CLASSES IN SICAMOUS AND SHUSWAP SCHOOL “I wish I had learned English better when I was in school.

I wouldn’t have to pay someone to teach me English now.”

“Women try to please everybody and end up pleasing nobody.”

“I have this continual battle within myself as to whether I should conform to society’s image that a woman must be beautiful. This week I am not applying a mask, the powder I apply to my face to fool you into thinking I have a clear complexion. Do you think I should use powder?”

READING MY ITEMS TO THE FAMILY When the paper had 24 pages, I said this in my speech to the Fish & Game Club during the 1970’s: “I sometimes discuss my ideas for Shoppers’ Guide with Jim (my husband), and sometimes I read them to the children, who are aged 10, 11 and 12. They often reply ‘You’re crazy, Mom, really crazy!’”

“My fillers are read by many people, and my staff won’t let me produce a paper without them now.”

And that is why they appear every week on page six of Lakeshore News. The Sidewalk Superintendent column is 40 years old.

TREATMENT FOR ADHD AND AUTISTIC CHILDREN Salmon Arm is fortunate to have a chiropractor who took pediatric training and has a main passion to provide safe and gentle care for infants, children, and pregnant women. Next Wednesday, October 21, Dr. Warren Gage from Harbourfront Family Chiropractic will give a presentation from 7 to 9 at a monthly meeting of Questers at the Downtown Activity Centre. The address is 451 Shuswap Street, a former school. The cost is $5. Everyone is welcome.

It is developed from a book by Doreen Virtue. Google the network name to learn more. If you have questions about the meeting, call Tyhson at 250-835-8236 CANADA REVENUE AGENCY WRITES A SCAM A woman called me in great distress because she received an email supposedly from Canada Revenue Agency saying she is eligible to get a refund. First she needs to fill a form. She advised me that other seniors need to know about the scam. I asked her to send the email to me. When I tried to open the tax refund form, my computer didn’t go to CRA, it told me I couldn’t open http://parass.si/hopeeedd. Folks, it is a foreign address.

This is the email the woman received: “After the final 2015 annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax return of 411.87 CAD. Please submit the tax return request by having your tax refund sent to your bank account within 72 hours.

THANK YOU, COLIN MAYES Colin Mayes has been our Member of Parliament for nine years. He retires on Monday evening, October 19, when a new MP is elected for the North Okanagan Shuswap riding.

Thank you, Colin, for your work in this riding these past nine years. I know you and Jacquie will enjoy retiring in Salmon Arm, where you were a business owner and mayor, and where you have kids and grandkids. Four more days, Colin! Enjoy!

FOUR CANDIDATES ON MONDAY’S BALLOT Prime Minister Stephen Harper called the election on August 2, 2015. It’s been such a long haul for all candidates across Canada. In this riding, candidates are Conservative Mel Arnold, Liberal Cindy Derkaz, Green Party Chris George, and NDP Jacqui Gringras.

The preliminary results will be posted on www.elections.ca throughout Monday evening, voting day, probably after BC and Yukon polls close at 7 p.m.

ELECTIONS CANADA INFORMATION OFFICER SAYS THANKS TO PEOPLE WHO VOTED Hi Sally; It was good to see you at the advance poll over the Thanksgiving weekend.

After being assigned the job of “Information Officer”

by Elections Canada, I mistakenly thought that being the first person people met when they came to the SASCU Recreation Centre on one of the four days last weekend would be a pretty easy gig. Boy, was I wrong!

Over 2800 residents of Salmon Arm took advantage of the advance polls and more than a few of them had to wait over an hour to cast their ballot. I always knew that our city residents were good people. What I didn’t know was that they were the most patient and polite of any group that I have ever encountered.

Thank you to all the people who came and voted. You made the people working for you at the polls feel necessary and relevant to the democratic process. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

Chuck Buckler MANY SALMON ARM HOMES HAVE A DOG I volunteered with a political party to go door-knocking, inviting residents to vote for its candidate. I was surprised how many homes have a dog that barks when the doorbell rings or when someone knocks at the front door. The homeowner tried to shush the dog, but it rarely worked. If the dog was home alone, it barked until I left.

Many homes and apartments will not rent to prospective tenants if they have a dog or cat. In the two condo apartments that I planned, I put different rules about pets.

When I planned McIntosh Grove in the latter 1980s, the rules said owners cannot have a pet. When I was selling apartments for the developers it was often difficult because they had a pet.

When I planned Valley Vista condo apartments in 2007, the rules said every owner or tenant could have one pet.

It is such a comfort to people who move in.

My wishful government dream

There’s less than one week to make a decision on whom to vote in for our MP. I am thinking of the teaching of a Chinese wise man who lived about 21 centuries ago. He explained about what a good government should be like. His name was Sima Qian. The most important thing to be a good government is to rule the nation according to the people’s mind.

Secondly, it should lead the nation for the betterment of the people. Thirdly, it should persuade people ethically in order to govern the country.

The bad government would rule the nation by fear and punishment. The worst is the government who fight with people.

To my recollection, the only protest/demonstration on the street in 80s was about nuclear weapons and missiles. These days, we have to fight against government on just about every issue – environmental, health, food, economic, educational, etc. The famous Lincoln’s 1863 Gettysburg address clause, of the people, by the people, for the people, probably now only remains as an academic debate topic. Basically, Lincoln had said the same thing as Qian.

Perhaps every politician would like to be considered as an avant-garde of democracy. I am wondering if we do really have so-called democracy. What about corporatocracy that people are often talking about? I heard that Canada’s top general discussed fully integrating its armed forces with US military; and that our three major national party leaders all agreed that Canada must act in concert with the US on the world stage and that Mr. Harper is being accused by two other leaders of mismanaging the relationship with Washington. I don’t remember when Canadian citizens wanted it such a way.

Lately, I pay attention to US Democratic presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, a self-de-

Vote for the individual

For the past 35 years, I have voted in the provincial and federal elections, based on my Godgiven conscience. For example, if a candidate who is known for their endorsement of murder and immorality, is in the political race, would you vote for that party or individual? Well, I can only vote for the individual, if that person will stand up and be vocal in their party, for the issues and concerns that are truly, of the utmost importance. The Conservative Party has refused to address the slaughter of unborn children, conveniently sugar-coated under the title abortion. Their endorsement of sexual immorality and their attempt to change God’s sanctification of marriage between a man and a woman, into something else, will be our downfall. NDP and Liberal Party Policy also support the slaughter of God’s unborn children and the destruction of God’s laws of marriage, while approving sodomy. Unfortunately, many will vote for issues such as healthcare and extra money in their pockets, pipelines, environment, refugees, or someone’s legal problems. Like us today, cities and nations in the past hid issues of murder and immorality, placing them on the back burner of least importance, and we know what became of them. The decisions we make now, may decide our future for a long time.

Disability Tax Credit Part 2

Last week we wrote about the Disability Tax Credit (DTC), and as promised, this week we’ll outline how you can qualify for the DTC. The application for the DTC is a nine-page document that needs to be completed by a “qualified person” which is usually a medical doctor, but can include other professionals like an optometrist or an audiologist, for example, depending on the condition you are applying under.

On the application the qualified person has to certify that you have a “severe and prolonged impairment in physical or mental functions.” To substantiate your claim, they have to answer a variety of questions and outline your condition in detail.

What does “severe and prolonged impairment” mean? Well, according to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), in order to qualify as severe and prolonged impairment your condition must firstly last or is expected to last for a “continuous period of at least 12 months.”

On the application instructions, CRA outlines the different disabilities that qualify, including whether you are blind or whether you are “markedly restricted” in either speaking, walking, hearing, elimination (bowel/bladder functions),

feeding, dressing or mental functions “necessary for everyday life.”

CRA defines “markedly restricted” as “all or substantially all of the time (at least 90% of the time)” being unable to or it takes an excessive amount of time to perform one of the basic activities listed above.

So as you can see, you need to be very restricted in one of the areas above in order to qualify for the DTC. If you feel this is the case, then you need to have a medical doctor or other qualified practitioner attest to that fact and sign off on it.

Once the application is completed by the qualified practitioner, it then needs to be sent to CRA and they will make the final determination of whether or not you qualify and for how many tax years.

So if you feel you might qualify, discuss it with your accountant and/ or doctor. The doctor generally charges a small fee to complete the application for you, but the benefit of qualifying will likely far outweigh that cost depending on your tax situation. If approved, it can bring a few dollars back from Ottawa and into your pocket. Now that’s something to get excited about!

Don’t let flyers scatter

Attn: Ford & Vella Road residents Those of us who receive our mail at the Ford Road mail box location are seemingly subjected to the whims of those who do not care much for their neighbours, or the local environment. Every time we get our mail we witness the blatant disregard that some folks display by leaving their flyers to blow around in the wind. You might notice that there is a garbage can at the end of the mailboxes. That can was placed there by a local resident (not me), yes a local resident – not the postal authority – for the use of those of us who do not want the flyers that accompany the newspapers, or that arrive in our mailboxes. Just the other day we witnessed flyers carelessly left on the top of the mail boxes where the wind could distribute them in the area for some one else to pick up. If you do not want to receive flyers in your mailbox, please leave a little note in the box, perhaps taped to the box bottom, and the mail delivery person will not leave flyers for you. If you want the free newspapers but not the flyers, please be respectful enough to place the flyers in the garbage can where some nice neighbour man will come and do your job of removing them to a recycle site.

Outlandish remarks

At the all candidate forum in Salmon Arm the Liberal candidate made some outlandish remarks if not outright lies. She said her party could vet and settle ten thousand Syrian refugees before Christmas. That would mean processing 180 persons per day. Any Canadian who has applied for a passport, unemployment insurance or the OAS supplement knows this is a preposterous statement! Her next outlandish statement was that we have lots of land in Canada. Indeed we do. I recently met a farm family in Saskatchewan that farm close to 6000 acres. Only three people living on it. But will any of these refugees go to Eyebrow, SK? We have thousands of acres in the Yukon and NWT but will any of these refugees live there? We have thousands of acres around Salmon Arm on the Fly Hills, the Larch Hills, Mt. Ida. But will any of these refugees live there? No. They will live in Toronto and environs where there is no land available and housing costs are astronomical.

The NDP and Green candidates more or less repeated Derkaz’s sentiments. Mel Arnold made no such idiotic statements. As he pointed out, it makes far more sense to help these people make their own country a safe place to live so they are not uprooted from their homes and families.

Another wild sentiment expressed by Derkaz was to compare the current Syrian refugee crisis to the Vietnamese boat people. The Vietnamese did not subscribe to a religion where you either converted to their religion or were to be executed. Nor did they subscribe to a religion that included scores of terrorists. Persecution of Christians or any non-Muslims in Syria has reduced that population down to about ten percent of the total. So you know that ninety percent of the Syrian refugees’ holy books requires them to convert or execute the “infidels.” This is hardly a Canadian value that we want to import. Only people with their head in the sand can deny the truth of the above.

Voting for the shared Canadian experience purchases are paid for, how many of us still have more than $30,500 to invest at the end of each year?

I do. As a physician, I’m lucky to be in that category of our population who will benefit from this additional tax break. You might think that I would support it enthusiastically. However, while I do appreciate all of this extra attention, as an affluent Canadian I also wish to reassure everyone: I’m doing quite well already!

The strategic vote

The Lakeshore News has been full of letters and op-eds from across the political spectrum for an exhausting and combative few months now, which is as it should be in a democratic society.

But we are now less than a week away from election day, and have only just received the results of the only two independent polls conducted in our riding since the last federal election, information that makes much of the debate thus far pure conjecture. However, now that the facts are finally available, and regardless our general preference or historical affiliation, it’s time for us to think carefully about what the options for our region really are, and to vote accordingly.

Both polls show the NDP (37/38%) with a slight lead over the Conservatives (33/36%), with the Liberals (22/15%) and Greens (8/9%) trailing very far behind. There are thus only two plausible outcomes on election night for our riding, and a few conclusions that can be drawn from this data. First, Green and Liberal supporters in our region will not be represented in Ottawa for the next four years: neither of these candidates can win here this year. Regardless of the strength of their excellent candidate’s campaigns or the appeal of their party’s leaders, a vote for the Green or Liberal parties in our riding is a vote wasted. Accordingly, and also due to our unrepresentative electoral system (one that every party but the Conservatives have agreed to change) we are one of only 16 ridings in the country where the electoral math is such that strategic voting is clearly the only sensible

unflattering) human instincts. I wonder how many long-time progressive conservative voters – myself included – recognize the party in this current form?

This election I will choose instead to embrace the sentiments laid out by Dr. Borkent in his recent letter, and will cast my vote not just as a self-interested tax-payer, but also as a participant and contributor to a much grander cause – our shared Canadian experience.

option. Progressive voters of all stripes must vote NDP, who will win with a healthy majority if this happens, but who may very well not be successful unless they receive the support of typically Green or Liberal voters. Conservatives of all stripes must vote Conservative, who will lose unless left-leaning Green and Liberal voters remain irrationally faithful to their party, and/or if Mel Arnold is able to attract enough right-leaning Liberal support. Like it or not, a loyalty vote to the Liberals or the Greens is at best a waste of your time and at worst a huge benefit to your least favoured party or candidate, whomever that might be.

Such strategic voting is off-putting to many, myself included. My colleague calls it “a broken strategy for a broken system,” and he’s right. But knowing what we now know, to do anything else here would be absolutely counter-productive to most voters’ democratic desires. The facts are simply these: despite what it says on the ballot, in the North Okanagan – Shuswap, we now have only two viable candidates and a system that ensures that 24-30% of you will be completely wasting your power as a voter unless you pick the NDP or Conservative candidate. Unless you are happy being represented by either of these parties —and it’s hard to imagine how anyone could be, given the ideological gulf that divides them—then I urge you to vote and to vote strategically. Hopefully, you’ll never have to do so again.

In contrast to the statements made in B. Campbell’s most recent letter, the Liberals would not discontinue the current Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) program. It would be maintained at the pre-existing limit of $5500 per year. No offence intended to B. Campbell, but this information is readily available on the Liberal website. It saddens me that our Prime Minister cannot be used as a reliable source of information.

The Conservatives support doubling the annual TFSA limit. This provides an additional tax break to any Canadian who still has money to save after first investing $25,000 in an RRSP and an additional $5500 in a TFSA. After all of our daily living expenses and luxury

Piano students recognized Each year the Shuswap Branch of the Registered Music Teachers recognize their students that have successfully accomplished advance level piano exams with their prerequisite theoretical exams, grade 8 to Associate level (ARCT). Royal Conservatory and Conservatory Canada send examiners out each year to examine students providing a valuable comprehensive assessment of musicianship by including repertoire, technical tests, etudes, ear and sight reading. Each grade requires examinations also in the-

oretical subjects. Grade 8 is equivalent to Grade 12 school credits and grades above that considered post secondary.

Congratulations goes to (from left) Rachel Bates, Jessica Neudorf, Holly McCallum, Julia Brown, and Emma Levins, for Grade 8 piano; and to Ashley Fong and Elena Bruns (both missing from photo) for their Associate Diploma in Piano Performance (ARCT) from the Royal Conservatory of Music.

St. Andrew’s United needs your help

St. Andrew’s United in Enderby is stepping out in faith, after two and half years of work to install an elevator/ lift to make this historical building accessible for all. But, they need the help of the wider community. They are very pleased to announce that grants have been received from the Federal Government Accessibility program of $25,000 towards the elevator; $5,000 from the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan; $2,000 from the Enderby Lion’s Club; and the small congregation and UCW have raised $29,5000. The project will cost an estimated $69,000 – they are $7,500 short! In addition to this, a major part of the roof needs to be repaired at an estimated cost

of $9,000.

St. Andrew’s United Church is a community centre that has been a proud part of the development of the local Enderby community for over 108 years.

It’s home not only for the small congregation, but also the place of worship for the Seventh Day Adventist congregation, the Enderby and District Community Resource Centre, the Enderby Food Bank, Joy of Music School, the meeting place for AA, Al Anon, the Community Garden, MacKenzie Camp Society, a local drama group, and many other organizations who use the building for meetings and workshops, weddings, and celebrations of life.

The historic building is not accessible for people with spe-

cial needs, such as wheelchairs, walkers, strollers, etc. As well, having to carry the groceries in and out of the food bank presents a challenge, and at times, recipients have to be interviewed outdoors. In an aging and changing population, the goal is for all public buildings to be accessible and in good repair. Any and all donations to this project are welcome, and tax receipts will be issued for all donations $20 and over.

Mail donations may be sent to St. Andrew’s United Church, Box 304, Enderby, BC V0E 1V0; contact them at 250-8387315 or call Joyce at 250-4635385.

I have listened carefully to those promoting the status quo and the trickle-down theory. Wonderful ideas, unless you happen to be at the bottom of the pile.

Do we really need the class system in Canada?

Or India, or any place in our global village?

Then why do we continue to practice it? Have you ever wondered how we got this way?

Looking back to 1764, and the Treaty of Niagara – a treaty between two nations – we discover a coming together of two dreams, travelling down the river of life together, in peace, understanding, and mutual respect; neither interfering with the other’s philosophy of life.

Sharing in the wealth of this great country.

Refugees, like my grandfather who grew up in a ghetto in Glasgow, Scotland, hoped to build a family where freedom, peace, and understanding would be as natural as breathing.

There is much evidence that the indigenous people in Canada had similar dreams. They were willing to share, because that is who they were. That is how they lived together from the beginning of time. That is how hunter-gatherers survive.

At heart, that is how humans survive. We

need to say to whomever we elect to be our next government, that we are all human, and together we could build the Canada of our dreams. I wonder if it isn’t an opportune time to build Canada a second time? We could start by looking into our neighbours’ eyes, and see there either our brother or our sister (rabbinic wisdom); wrap our arms around each other, and dedicate ourselves to getting actively involved in bringing about peace and understanding.

Horsey Ladies hold 18th annual charity banquet

The 18th annual North Okanagan Horsey Ladies Banquet & Charity Auction is coming up on Friday November 20th at the Spallumcheen Golf Course. Over the years, this group of ‘horsey ladies’ has donated over $65,600 to local charities.

“The event is the highlight of the pre-Christmas shopping season – with usually over 100 items on the auction blocks (silent and ticket) such as clothing, jewelry, weekends away, horsey stuff (of course), gift certificates for products and services, and so much more! It is only through the generosity of the community-minded businesses that we have been able to do this fundraiser year after year,” says committee member Nancy Roman. “All proceeds from the evening are donated to a local charity that the gals vote on that evening. We never know in advance who will get the money. And if we raise many thousands of dollars, we usually

give to the top two vote-getters!”

There is a traditional Christmas turkey buffet, including vegetarian lasagna, salads and desserts, a cash bar and an ATM machine too. Over dinner there is ‘open mic’ when any lady is welcome to get up and pitch for their favourite charity – or just introduce themselves and their business.

The golf course is once again offer-

ing a toy drive, as last year’s was so successful, and they have asked if the Horsey Ladies would like to participate. If anyone would like to donate a toy, bring it to the banquet, put your name on it, and you will be entered into their prize draw. Toys will go to a local youth group.

Tickets for the banquet are $30 and available at Country West Supply in Armstrong, The Paddock Tack & Togs in Vernon and Touch A Texas in Salmon Arm. For more information or to donate please call Nancy at 250-5469922 or see ‘Horsey Ladies Okanagan’ Facebook page. “It’s the talk of the town before and after!”

Trees-on-farmland program ‘not expanding’

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press A British-based manufacturing company is considering switching its B.C. tree-planting program from farmland to areas deforested by fire or pine beetles.

Reckitt Benckiser Group plc added another three farms to its B.C. land holdings over the summer, prompting an accusation in the legislature that it was breaking its promise to suspend planting trees on farmland. The company halted the program in June after more than 10,000 ha of farmland in the Peace, Prince George and Cariboo regions were acquired to use as carbon offsets for the company’s world-wide operations.

Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington released title documents for a 320 ha grain and cattle farm purchased

near Dawson Creek in July, three weeks after the company, now known by its initials RB, said the program was halted.

Asked about the timing of the purchase, RB issued a statement saying the company had three signed agreements to buy more B.C. farms when it “paused” its tree planting program to review it. Local governments have objected to productive farmland being reforested, and the effect it would have on farming communities.

“No action has been taken on these properties as RB continues to consult British Columbians on the future of this program,” the company said, adding discussions have continued with neighbouring landowners, provincial, local governments and MLAs. “Many have high-

lighted the need for reforestation on lands that have been depleted by the pine beetle or wildfires,” the company said. “It is an option we are exploring.”

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said he had a presentation from RB, with suggestions about alternatives to planting more trees on farmland.

“I’m not at liberty yet to disclose those because they were given to us confidentially but I have reason to be optimistic,” Letnick said.

RB’s website says it has planted more than seven million trees in B.C. Letnick said the company has planted most of the 10,000 ha of farmland it acquired up until this spring, and the three new acquisitions bring the total to 12,000 ha.

RB operates around the world, manufactur-

ing and selling food, household and medical products under brands such as Calgon, French’s, Clearasil, Dettol, Scholl, Strepsils, Gaviscon and Woolite.

It describes its B.C. tree planting program as a way to offset carbon emissions from its operations, but it does not intend to trade or sell carbon offsets.

Past and present meld at Notch Hill

Notch Hill is a Shuswap community with an interesting and colourful history.

It’s named after the hill that was a challenge to the Canadian Pacific Railway

(CPR) on its way west. Initially the steep 1.8 percent grade over the top of the hill required helper engines for heavy westbound trains.

Stationed at Notch Hill were three p u s h e r engines, with three pusher crews and

three station operators. Trains also took on water and coal at Notch Hill, plus there were other train services which meant more workers.

In addition to the CPR staff living at Notch Hill, an agricultural community grew up in the immediate and surrounding area.

Anyone wanting to ship their seasonal produce or travel anywhere themselves came to Notch Hill to catch the train. In winter farmers logged and made fence posts, ties and telephone poles, which were also

shipped by rail.

Businesses were established, including a general store, as well as a school with a couple of teachers and a hotel where passengers could stay overnight if needed. Notch Hill was a busy and active place!

The rail grade was improved in the late 1970’s by building a new 18 km track from Tappen to Notch Hill that included a 3 km loop that

by Wendy Clay reduced the grade from 1.8 percent to 1 percent. East bound trains with generally lighter loads still use the original steeper grade.

scenes and the road grades are gradual and fairly gentle. At Notch Hill I stopped at the covered platform built in the last few years that overlooks the

Now Notch Hill is a quieter place, with a few historic buildings remaining including the Holy Cross R o m a n Catholic Church, built in 1922, which is currently being restored; the Notch Hill Hall built in 1909-10, still in use; the 1921 one room schoolhouse used until 1971; and the former Presbyterian, then United Church, built in 1906, and moved to its current site behind the school in 20042005 as a non-denominational church available to rent.

Recently I cycled Notch Hill Road uphill from Sorrento to Notch Hill and downhill to Balmoral, part of an approximately 21 km cycling loop from Balmoral that includes Blind Bay and along the lake to Sorrento. It’s a pleasant route with lake scenery and pastoral

train tracks. Picnic tables and seating there make a welcome rest break. A toilet behind the white church is also convenient.

While I was there an eastbound train came slowly up the hill and passed by the platform, gave a couple of toots on the horn, and disappeared gaining speed on the downward side. As I watched I could imagine being there 100 years ago and seeing a steam locomotive, instead of a diesel engine, pass through the bustling little community of Notch Hill.

Probably the closest event these days to evoke the spirit of its busy past is when the CPR Holiday Train comes through Notch Hill each December.

Over 1000 people usually gather for the entertainment and festivities, including a food bank fundraiser.

Maybe Notch Hill is where I will go to see the Holiday Train this December!

Grocery store secrets that you need to know: Fresh fruits and colourful veggies are placed at the front of the store. Studies show that when consumers fill their carts with healthy goodness, they feel less guilty about purchasing pre-packaged, less healthy food.

Fresh vegetables are sprayed with water to make them glisten.

The water also adds weight to veggies and makes them rot faster.

Before you put them into your cart, shake off excess water.

Ready-to-eat food costs more. Foods such as pre-grated cheese costs 30-60% more than grating it yourself. Wash and rip your lettuce at home.

Wash and slice veggies and fruit at home.

Save money by hand-choosing loose produce such as tomatoes, peppers, oranges, kiwi etc. instead of pre-bagged produce.

Over the past few years, shopping carts nearly doubled in size and consumers are spending about 19% more to fill the cart.

The beat of music in supermarkets is often slower than our own heartbeat. An easy listening tempo causes us to move slower, and take our time. Consider wearing headphones with an upbeat tempo.

Know your prices, because bulk foods are sometimes sold at higher prices than packaged foods.

If you look at the packaging on fresh fish, you might find the words; “Previously Frozen” which means it was frozen and then thawed. Frozen grocery store fish is cheaper and often fresher than fresh grocery store fish.

The most expensive grocery items are placed at eye level.

Look higher or lower on shelves for better deals. The exceptions to this are items like sugary cereal, which is displayed on lower shelves to grab the attention of children.

Ever notice that grocery stores have no clocks and few windows? Most windows are situated near the checkout isle. Stores are banking on the hope that you will lose track of time and purchase more.

Shelf ends appear to offer sales or special promotions, but the truth is that manufacturers pay big bucks for end of aisle position and the savings

Solutions&Substitutions

By Reena Nerbas may be non-existent.

Staple or power items such as milk, eggs and butter are usually spread around the store perimeter and located at the back or sides of the store, causing you to walk through the entire store to pick up items.

Stick to your list and avoid impulsively adding merchandise to the cart.

Some stores now have TVs at the checkout. This causes you to view store ads and distracts you from your purchases.

Studies show that Wednesday is the best day of the week to shop. Fewer people are in the store and many retailers begin sales mid-week.

Research shows that Saturday consumers purchase more when surrounded by crowds of people.

Stores pair items such as salsa and taco chips, dip and veggies,

honey and tea etc.

While consumers might look at this as a nice convenience, it actually gives you the idea to purchase two items instead of one.

Avoid shopping when you’re hungry.

Looking to the future: Underneath the floors of supermarkets around the world, subtle speedbumps are being installed. These speedbumps cause consumers to slow down without even realizing it and stopping to browse shelves.

New fibre optic networks to connect North Shuswap, Sunnybrae

Come in person to 161 Hudson Ave.

SALMON ARM – Families and communities with high-speed Internet access will benefit from $202,063 in upgrades as part of up to a $10 million investment by the B.C. Government that will speed up and expand their Internet service and remove bottlenecks.

This investment in connectivity fulfills the commitment made in Budget 2015-16 and is part of the province’s strategy to reach the goal of 100 per cent high-speed connectivity before 2021.

A grant of $72,000 will finance an extension of the fibre optic network that will improve service and relieve congestion on the current radio link from Little Shuswap to Chase. When complete, the new system will increase speeds and capacity for more than 1,700 people and provide new access to more than 250 homes that currently have no service. Some of the communities expected to see service improvements once the project is complete include: North Shuswap, Lee Creek, St. Ives, Little Shuswap Indian Band, and Chase.

An additional $130,063 has been provided to build a fibre optic network connecting the residents of Sunnybrae. This new network will connect residents with high-speed Internet, phone and TV service.

More than 600 residents will have access to the new service.

The Connecting British Columbia program is designed to help with issues such as ‘last-mile infrastructure access’ which is the connection from the main network line to the individual subscriber, often the barrier to expanding Internet service in rural communities.

Connecting British Columbia is administered by Northern Development Initiative Trust and covers the entire province. Eligible applicants are selected based their project’s potential to provide expanded or improved Internet service to British Columbians in rural and remote areas. “This upgrade to our region’s digital infrastructure will help ensure local families and communities better take advantage of economic and educational opportunities available in today’s online world,� Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said. “We are proud to have this opportunity to help bring modern Internet access to British Columbians in rural or remote locations that otherwise may not have the ability to access the resources online so many of us benefit from and enjoy,� Northern Development Initiative Trust chairman Evan Saugstad said.

Log exports not expanded in Trans-Pacific Partnership

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement doesn’t resolve Canada’s long-running dispute with the United States over softwood lumber, or remove restrictions on log exports from B.C. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the Canadian government would like to renew the Canada-U.S. softwood agreement, expired as of Thanksgiving Day. It’s a side deal outside the North American Free Trade Agreement, and it won’t be covered by the Pacific Rim trade either. “Obviously we would like to see this agreement move forward, and I think industry on both sides of the border would, but for reasons that were not entirely clear, the American administration hasn’t seen it that way,� Harper said in an interview with Black Press. “In terms of forestry, what the TPP does do is provide new tariff-free access to many Asian countries, including enhanced access to the Japanese market.�

Restrictions on log exports from B.C. are also not eased by the TPP, which includes Japan,

Malaysia, Vietnam, New Zealand and Australia.

B.C.’s control over Crown land log prices has long been an irritant with the U.S. and Japan, while private and aboriginal land log producers are restricted by federal rules. “B.C. was able to ensure that both provincial and federal log export controls will not change as a result of the TPP, despite pressure from Japan to eliminate them,� B.C. International Trade Minister Teresa Wat said in a statement. “B.C.’s objectives for the forestry sector during the TPP negotiations were to gain market access for forestry products to important TPP markets such as Japan, while maintaining existing log export controls.�

Premier Christy Clark said this week her first call to Ottawa after the Oct. 19 federal election will be about continuing the U.S. softwood lumber talks. Harper expressed confidence that despite the history of U.S. legal and trade actions over the years, the existing deal can be extended. “We’ve managed to export a lot of lumber over the years and I’m confident we will continue to,�

Harper said.

Dinner theatre cast focuses on fun

Laughter rings out at the Wicked Spoon during every rehearsal of The Demise of Dorothy Dingle!

The title is a good suggestion of the kind of show it is: silly and murder. Coupled with good food and music by Jen Dyck, it’s a great evening for patrons Friday and Saturday nights from November 5 to 21.

Director James Bowlby is excited to have a great cast of actors who bring lots of experience to the show. There’s already proof that talent runs in families with Chloe and Jason Smeltzer, daughter and father, and Alaura Bibby and Nan Marshall, daughter and mother having fun playing opposite each other. Broad smiles and the odd chuckle occurred with Alaura telling her mother, playing Dorothy, how beautiful she is.

Veteran actress, Aileen Brand plays the all-seeing keeper of the house, Mrs. Suspishus, who drives all the way from Scotch Creek to rehearsals. Younger actors Dominick Young and Nik Henneveld enjoy clowning around. Dominik Wilkey, from Last Call at Club Vingt Quatre,

Clouds of Sils Maria

At 18, Maria Ender’s (Juliette Binoche) career was launched when she starred in Maloja Snake as Sigrid, an ambitious young woman whose charms fascinate, disarm, and eventually drive her boss, Helena, to suicide. Now, 20 years later and at the peak of her career, Maria is asked to take on the role of the older woman in a revival of the play. Wishing to escape her divorce, she reluctantly agrees and departs for Sils Maria (Switzerland) with her assistant and only friend, Valentine (Kristen Stewart), to help her rehearse.

As she struggles to get into the mind of the character she worked so hard to destroy in her youth, Maria’s insecurities grow when she meets her replacement as Sigrid, Jo-Ann Ellis (Chloe Grace Moretz), a young Hollywood starlet with a scandalous reputation. Beginning to see the disturbing mirror of the play and her life, Maria is forced to come to terms with the passage of time and its inevitable effects on one’s allure, success, and perhaps, even sanity.

Clouds of Sils Maria shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 17th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

plays the dashing young boyfriend of the ingénue, Jessica (Alaura). Holding the show together are two detectives, Jennifer Knotts and Chloe Smeltzer. Their back stories, smart commentary, and final analysis of the demise of Dorothy create the classic “whodunit.” The Stage Manager keeping track of blocking, business and props is the amazing Edna den Breejen.

Costumes are by Keren Huyter, with sound by Bram Hermsen. The cheerful staff of the Wicked Spoon will ensure that the cast gets through the rehearsal period and that guests enjoy a wonderful four-course dinner. There are prizes for guessing the murderer.

Tickets for dinner and the show are $60 per person or $300 for a table of 6. For tickets and reservations call 250-832-2280.

Feel the joy

You may recall Red and Curly Swenson. They’re the boys always in trouble with Game Warden ol’ GG Lawson. He’d got them more than a few times, and wasn’t too far behind on most of their shenanigans. But really, when it comes right down to the grits, sow belly and greens of it, they were raised by a feisty ol’ gal by the name of Granny Grison. She’d had more than a few run-ins with county officials, even ‘fessed to havin’ a still once. Now she had tried to raise the boys the best she could, but even then they played hooky just to go fishin’ in the creek behind the rundown farm, or shoot an extra few ducks to take to Bones McGees place in exchange for a bit o’ moonshine.

But then, gradually, she was smitten by the Lord. Curly and Red had just ventured off on a moose huntin’ trip Sunday mornin’ down around Keesterville, and Granny had just left church. She was feelin’ kinda sassy that morning, what with a thunderous prayer meetin’ and choir performance. The pastor had even given out bumper stickers which read, “Honk if you Love Jesus,” with a big red heart in the middle. She placed the sticker on her bumper and headed for home. She was stopped at the red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord, when the light changed. It was then she found LOTS of folks love Jesus. Why, while sittin’ there, the guy behind started blowin’ his horn, then leaned out his window, and screamed, “For the love of God— Go! Go! Go!” She thought, “What an exuberant cheer-

Tomato Juice Cocktail

shuswapoutdoors

leader he was for Jesus!”

Then everyone started honking. Granny leaned out her window, and started wavin’ and smilin’ at all those loving people.

Why, she even honked her horn a few times to share the love, then lookin’ back, she thought there must have been a man from Florida back there in the line, as she heard him yell something about a sunny beach. Looking back, she saw another man waving with only his middle finger stuck in the air. When she asked her teenaged grandson sitting in the back seat what that meant, he replied it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign. Granny had never met anyone from Hawaii, so she leaned out her window and gave him the good luck sign back. Her grandson burst out laughing.

Even he was now enjoying this religious experience.

A couple o’ folks were so caught up in the joy of the moment, that they got out of their cars and began walking toward Granny. She thought, “I bet they want to pray, or ask which church she attended.

That was when she noticed the light had changed. So she waved to all her brothers and sisters, and grinning a big grin, she drove though the intersection. Then she noticed she was the only car that got through before the light changed again.

It was then her cell phone rang. It was Curly. A big bull moose had put him up a tree by Feller’s Ridge! He wasn’t sure where Red was, but he thought he was workin’ on the ol’ truck, which had broke down up the loggin’ road a ways.

They needed help. Granny’s reply was,

by Hank Shelley “Curly, how many times have I told you two to change your ways? All I can say is, I’m sure you’ll do just fine, the good Lord willin’, and the creek don’t rise.”

Besides, I got a nice bumper sticker for the ol’ Ford for ya when you make it home. It sure gave me a wonderful lift in the Lord’s eyes today, along with many other good folk!”

Here and there in the Shuswap With ever changing hunting technology, battery powered decoys are in, along with trail cameras along game trails. But the most popular item you don’t leave home with anymore is your GPS. Garmin E-trex is low cost and does the job, using way points, and storing memory. It’s a must now for most fishers and hunters.

Here are some facts and figures: The first GPS satellite was launched in 1978. Number now circling the earth; 31. Distance from earth they orbit: 13,000 miles. Speed in MPH they travel; 7,000. Number of times they circle earth each day: 2. Average accuracy in yards of today’s GPS; 16. Amount the US Government has spent on developing the system; 16 billion dollars.

Yearly cost to maintain the GPS system; 800 million. First GPS unit made

by Magellan; $3000. Lowest prices unit today by Garmin; $99.

Remember, hunting is a privilege.

Respect the animals, and all wildlife, while afield!

This is a favourite of Hank’s recipes • 8 pounds tomatoes • 1 cup chopped celery (2 stalks) • 1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium) • 6 tablespoons bottled lemon juice • 2 tablespoons sugar • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish • 1 teaspoon salt • 1/4 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce

1. Wash tomatoes. Remove stem ends and cores.

Cut tomatoes into pieces; drain. Measure 19 cups cut-up tomatoes.

2. In an 8- or 10-quart heavy kettle or pot combine tomatoes, celery, and onion. Bring to boiling ovedow heat, stirring frequently. Simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until tomatoes are soft, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

3. Press tomato mixture through a food mill or sieve to extract juice; measure 12 cups juice.

Discard solids. Return juice to kettle. Bring to boiling. Boil gently, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring often.

Measure juice (you should have 9.5 to 10 cups).

Stir in lemon juice, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, salt, and hot pepper sauce.

Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes more.

4. Immediately ladle hot juice into hot, sterilized pint canning jars, leaving a 1/2-inch headspace.

Wipe jar rims; adjust lids. Process filled jars in a boiling-water canner for 35 minutes (start timing when water returns to boil). Remove jars from canner; cool on wire racks.

SPORTS & LEISURE Registration for Jackrabbits now open

It is time to start thinking about registering for the 2015/2016 Jackrabbits program. The number of children registering for the program typically exceeds capacity, so please register early.

Jackrabbits is meant to be a fun and positive introduction to cross country skiing for children.

Online registration is now open and will continue until all spaces are filled. Go to skilarchhills. ca/jackrabbits. You will need to register with the club (Larch Hills Nordic Society) and add Jackrabbit registration for the family members participating. The Jackrabbit Program is run entirely by volunteers and several new leaders are needed this year to help the program run successfully. It is not necessary that you are an “expert” skier to lead a group. If your children have been participants of the program but you haven’t taken a turn at volunteering, this would be a great year to do so.

The Larch Hills Nordic Society pays for the cost of anyone taking the coaching courses.

One weekend course is required to coach Bunnies, and a second course is required to coach Jackrabbits levels 1-4. If enough people are interested, they will be run in Salmon Arm. Anyone interested in taking the coaching training must notify the program co-coordinators immediately as the first course will be on Oct. 16-17th.

Those requiring some financial assistance to participate in the program can also apply for funding directly through www.kidsportcanada. ca We look forward to seeing you this winter.

Please contact Megan Brooke (megcbrooke@ yahoo.ca) or Marie Peterson (murphyknits@ gmail.com) if you have any questions. File photo.

Grow your email marketing list

From Small Business BC You can be forgiven for thinking that email marketing is old news, since the arrival and growth of social media for business. Open any business site and you will see hundreds of how to market on social media articles and very few on email marketing.

But a recent survey by Salesforce found that 69 per cent of marketers in Canada believe that email marketing is core to their business and 60 per cent of marketers worldwide see email as a critical enabler of their products and services.

Since the introduction of CASL in July 2014, building a permission-based email marketing list is as critical to the success of your campaign, as well as responsive design and relevant content. Here are 11 tips to help you build a quality list and achieve success email marketing success.

1. Only use email addresses from those who ‘opt in’ Opt-in means that an individual has voluntarily given you their email address to communicate with them. And is the best way to keep your list CASL compliant. Although you are allowed to send a message to an existing client, in the year following their purchase, it is a lot easier to maintain your database if you get their expressed consent to send messages to them.

By sending emails to users that have not opted in, you run the risk of being marked spam, which can affect your IP reputation.

This could mean that even your clients who have asked to receive the email, may no longer receive them, as their firewalls will stop messages from an IP with a poor reputation. If fact, 83 per cent of email delivery failures are caused by a poor reputation of an IP. So keep your reputation clean and increase your open rates, by ensuring those on your list, want to receive your content.

2. Consider double opt-in Although not required here in Canada, double-opt in is considered best practice around the world. This means that once a customer has signed up for your list, you send them a message to confirm they want to be part of it, which they click to verify.

Research shows that double-opt in lists have much higher engagement levels over time, which means more opens and clicks for your business.

3. Offer exclusive content A great way to entice subscribers is to offer exclusive content that they would not have had access to before signing up to your list. The content doesn’t just need to be big white papers or research reports, it can be a good infographic which is a handy point of reference, a recipe card, or a sneak peek at some video content before it’s released to the rest of the world. The key is that the subscriber feels good for being able to access this exclusive content.

4. Encourage users to share your email A simple way to grow your list is to get your existing subscribers to get their con-

tacts to sign-up too. Simply add a ‘forward to a friend’ button or ‘subscribe’ button to your social media accounts to help build your lists.

5. Collect email addresses at events Look for offline ways to build your email marketing lists. Going to a tradeshow or event? It’s not only a great opportunity to make new connections, but also grow your email lists. Collect their business cards and ask for permission to add them to your list, then send a message to confirm when you return to the office.

6. Run an in-store or social media contest Much like the exclusive content, contests are a great motivator for potential clients to subscribe to your list. Whether it’s an online or in-store contest, make it clear in the terms and conditions that they by entering they are ‘opting in’ to your emails.

7. Segment your lists Dividing your lists can create great opportunities for target marketing.

Segments could be those who have already bought from you, and those who have not.

Or even segmented by geography, types of product bought or in-store versus online clients. By targeting your content to each group you are likely to have a higher click rate and less opt-outs.

8. Make your sign up button prominent and easy Don’t make people search your website to sign up to your newsletter. Put it in a prominent place on your home page and on all key landing pages of your website.

Make sure the sign up process is as easy as possible too, with just a few fields. You can always ask for more information on them, through a survey later.

9. Don’t buy email lists Although this might seem like a quick easy win, it is rife with problems. The number of emails you can send in one go might be much larger than you could organically, but this doesn’t mean that your message will actually reach your target market. It is difficult to validate the quality of these lists and will often result in your IP being marked as spam, causing delivery issues to any emails that do reach a valid recipient.

10. Don’t spam Spam is defined as an irrelevant or inappropriate message. It is a pain point of many people. By sending unrequested messages to potential customers can damage your reputation.

11. Be compliant No organization is exempt from Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation, if they send email, communicate on social media or use SMS or instant messaging to contact people in or from Canada. The main themes of the law are about consent to communicate, and providing a way for the user to unsubscribe from the list.

Market research mistakes to avoid

From Small Business BC Market research is essential to understanding your customers and your competition. It provides you with intelligence that can help direct your business planning and strategy.

The key to successful market research is planning and strategy. It should be methodical, organized and fair.

Unfortunately, market research often takes place during a time of great excitement or turmoil, meaning that rationale can fly out the window and mistakes can be made. To help navigate the world of market research, here are some of the most common mistakes businesses make, and tips of how to avoid them.

1. Not knowing what you’re looking for The key to successful market research is to know the questions you need answers to before you look for the data.

It’s easy to find data that loosely relates to your industry or business, but if you start your research just in a general hope to discover something, anything, about your customers it can be an exercise in futility.

2. Poor choice of reference materials It’s important to know your information is coming from a reputable source. Google has the answers to everything, but do you know what the stats you have found are based on? Do you know if the original questioning was biased? Research your research materials, double check the information they provide and check the dates the data was collected for relevancy.

And don’t forget your local library. Not only do they provide access to great reference books, but often provide access to licensed reference databases either online or from their location.

3. Researching the wrong group Data is only useful when it is relevant, so the first thing to establish from your research is your target demographic. You can then use this data to further research your business with those parameters in mind and understand their needs and wants.

4. Relying on one set of data Whether it’s the 2011 Census of Canada or a survey you personally conducted, one set of data is not enough to get an objective overview of your target market.

Good market research has both primary and secondary data, from multiple sources, to provide a true unbiased opinion.

5. Your family and friends can’t be your focus group Speaking of primary research, your survey group can’t be purely made up of your friends, family and acquaintances. They are likely to want to support you and your new business and will be subject to a lack of objectivity. Instead speak to your customers or potential customers and peers in the industry.

6. Understanding your own bias Everyone has their own opinions and beliefs that influence the way they rationalize data. The trick is to recognize this.

By understanding what your bias is, even if it’s simply that you want your business to work no matter what, and then you can be wary of it when analyzing the data you’ve gathered, and take an extra step to find an alternate way to make sense of it.

Finding the data the works for you Want to learn more about how to gather both primary and secondary data for your business? Attend Small Business BC’s Market Research seminars with their market research analyst, Mark Eversfield. http://smallbusinessbc.ca

The Workshop Studio Gallery The name says it all…

KJ MacAlister

We are a community pottery studio providing a state of the art studio and workspace. Started in April 2015 The Workshop Studio Gallery offers pottery classes for beginners as well as experienced potters. Situated on an acreage in Salmon Arm we provide a 741 sq/ft studio space with five potter’s wheels and a fully equipped clay studio. Our goal is to provide a positive, encouraging workspace for ceramic artists and enthusiasts.

With an emphasis on wheel thrown pottery, we offer informed education on clay, wheel throwing, hand building and glazing techniques. The Workshop Studio Gallery offers classes in six week sessions. We start the classes with the basics so that individuals can create a foundation of proper skills. Once some basic techniques are learned the real fun begins and students are Jeremy Pawlowicz introduced to more complex techniques and forms. But making pottery is just half of the process, after a pot is made it needs to be glazed. The Workshop Studio Gallery has many glazes so that students can find the finish and colour that best suits their creation.

Hosting a variety of classes in the evening and afternoon through the week The Workshop Studio Gallery provides many opportunities for creativity. Our hope is to grow into the community so we can be host to team building events, weekend workshops, school art classes, and social outings.

Last Saturday in between games at my 12 year old daughter’s fastball tournament she received a message that Caleb Logan was dead. I had no idea who that was, but Daisy knew, and so did all of her heartbroken friends. He was the gregarious 13-year-old star of a wholesome show on YouTube that loosely chronicled the lives of him, his two younger sisters and his parents. It was called Bratayley, the family’s stage name.

I wasn’t surprised I hadn’t heard of him.

It’s about as likely for me to know who’s famous with kids as they’re likely to know who’s famous with the middle aged crowd.

Daisy sadly read out the announcement from his family’s Instagram account that was posted October 2nd: “Yesterday at 7:08 pm Caleb Logan Bratayley passed away of natural causes. This has come as a shock to all of us. Words cannot describe how much we will miss him. His incredibly funny, loving and wonderful spirit made us all fall in love with him as a YouTuber, friend, brother and son. We know you tune in to watch each day and eagerly anticipate new videos, but ask that you bear with us while we deal with this tragedy as a family. Please help us honor our baked potato.”

“Natural causes?” I asked. “He’s 13.

Hopefully someone’s just hacked their account and it’s a hoax.”

As she warmed up with her team for their next game I did some Google researching on my phone trying to learn

Live life to the fullest

more about this boy, wanting to find an article from a reputable media source confirming it wasn’t true. But all I could find that day and the next were countless posts by distraught children and people speculating a practical joke or a suicide similar to that of his 10-year-old cousin two years prior.

It wasn’t until Sunday night that I finally read a report that confirmed the young teen had indeed passed away and it wasn’t until Monday that his family announced he’d died from an undetected medical condition. Tuesday morning it was reported on Good Morning America that the family’s history of heart disease, specifically hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, probably played a part in his premature death.

Suddenly, after days of not being able to find any media information on him at all, his story was plastered everywhere online and included countless pictures and video clips from a vast collection of material that had spanned the last five years.

Children tragically die everyday, so why was the death of this boy getting so much press? That became a common question expressed repeatedly on social media. It’s fairly obvious – his family had a substantial fan base of close to 2 million YouTube subscribers and over a billion views of their videos.

His fans, primarily made up of kids, felt a deep connection to Caleb, Annie and Hayley from watching them daily and sharing in their lives. Many felt as though they knew him – like he was their friend. And since the family is just being themselves in their videos, doing silly stunts and ordinary every day things, their connection felt arguably stronger than the one we adults might have with our favourite sports or entertainment stars.

His parent’s decision to livestream part of his memorial service was met with harsh criticism online and perceived as an attention-seeking ploy of over-sharing that some felt ought to remain private. But for the parents to include the fans in their son’s celebration of life was both fitting and kind since they are also mourning Caleb’s loss and in need of some closure.

For many of these kids, this has been their first experience losing someone they cared about. Their feelings of grief are important to respect, as are their concerns

OnaBrighterNote

by Lori Welbourne that someone so young and seemingly healthy could suddenly die like that. For the first time some of them have thought about their own mortality. If it could happen to him, it could happen to anyone – a powerful reminder of how precious life is and how important it is to embrace what brings us love and joy.

There could be nothing worse than losing a child and what his parents are now dealing with is unfathomable. This happens to people all the time, but it never should. At the end of the video, filmed the day before Caleb’s death, it states: “Please kiss your kids and tell them that you love them everyday. You never know what day will be their last.”

That is so true of everyone.

All of us are born and all of us will die - how and when is rarely known ahead of time. What’s important is living life to the fullest as much as possible in between those two guaranteed events. Caleb set a beautiful example of doing that while he was alive, and he will continue to inspire that in his death.
