BC welcomes climate, infrastructure plan

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press Premier Christy Clark is emphasizing cooperation with the new Liberal government in Ottawa on climate change and infrastructure spending, while avoiding comment on plans to run deficits and legalize marijuana.

Clark said Tuesday she is looking forward to having Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accompany premiers to Paris at the end of November for the next United Nations climate conference. Trudeau said Tuesday he is

looking forward to changing Canada’s reputation as a “less than enthusiastic actor” on climate policy, but he wants provinces to take the lead.

Clark said B.C. will outline its “Climate 2.0” plan before leaving, and it will add to

the carbon tax on fossil fuels with measures aimed at the “built environment” and other ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Trudeau’s infrastructure plan is in “complete alignment” with B.C.’s efforts to grow the economy, with BC Hydro alone spending $2.5 billion a year over the next decade, Clark said.

She sidestepped a question on Trudeau’s deficit plans, noting that a prime minister has to govern for all provinces and B.C. is “an outlier” with oper-

ating budget surpluses and projected growth.

Clark was even more cautious with Trudeau’s plans to legalize and regulate marijuana, as Vancouver and other cities grapple with unregulated medical pot dispensaries.

“If and when they make changes, we’ll work with them to make sure that the changes can be effective in B.C.,” she said.

B.C. NDP leader John Horgan shrugged off his federal party’s big setback in the federal election, consoling himself with an increase of two NDP

★★★★★★★★

MPs in B.C. The NDP’s Gord Johns won the new riding of Courtney-Alberni, defeating long-time Conservative MP John Duncan for an NDP sweep of Vancouver Island, except for Green Party leader Elizabeth May in Saanich-Gulf Islands.

“I’m also delighted that the country voted for change in massive numbers,” Horgan said. “And that’s good news for me as well, because in 2017 there’s going to be a desire for change.”

SALMON ARM – The B.C. government has provided $114,580 to Parent Advisory Councils (PACs) and the District Parent Advisory Committee (DPAC) in the North OkanaganShuswap School District to help support student activities outside of the classroom.

Councils in Armstrong, Canoe, Celista, Enderby, Falkland, Grindrod, Salmon Arm, Sorrento and Tappen are receiving grants.

The funds will be used to enhance the student experience through extracurricular activities.

These grants cover various costs, including sporting equipment, musical instruments, playground equipment and field trips.

“Shuswap and North Okanagan students benefit every year thanks to the efforts of Parent Advisory Councils,” Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said. “Our government is pleased to help them out with these grants, which provide many important services and equipment.”

The parent-run councils help ensure B.C.’s children have access to activities that ensure the development of a well-rounded educational background.

through their bank.

Sadly, some discover at the most inopportune time that this may not be the case. This is primarily due to the fact that bank insurance coverage decreases over time and uses ‘post-claim’ underwriting, meaning that when you file a claim the bank determines whether or not they are going to pay the benefit based upon your health. Making matters more scary, and potentially worse, is that the bank is your beneficiary in that if you or your partner died, the bank would make sure that the money they lent you via the mortgage is

New walk-in clinic association

The owners and operators of walk-in health clinics located across British Columbia have formed a new association, Walk-In Clinics of B.C., to represent their collective business interests, as well as the interests of physicians and others who work in and with the clinics.

“This is a time of tremendous change for the province’s health sector,” said Mike McLoughlin, the founding director of the new association.

“This is true for patients, physicians, nurses and other

health-care workers, as well as those who have made significant financial investments in approximately 300 walk-in clinics operating in every corner of British Columbia.”

McLoughlin, who holds a MBA from the University of British Columbia, and his wife, Dr. Sue McLoughlin, a recently-retired family physician who practised for 25 years, have co-owned Medi-Kel Family Practice & Walk In Clinic in Kelowna since 2001.

“We believe that an enhanced role for walk-in clinics is one solution to many of the

ongoing challenges facing B.C’s healthcare sector, especially in regards to the availability of physicians – or lack thereof – for families and individuals who do not have their own primary-care doctor,” said Mike McLoughlin.

“Our aim is to work collaboratively with other stake-holders in health-care – including the Province of B.C., the Doctors of BC, the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and many others – to make our world-class health system even better for all British Columbians,” he concluded.

by Dr. Warren Gage

Prolonged sitting II

A few months ago, I wrote an article discussing the fact that prolonged sitting has become the new smoking of today, with its many negative impacts on health and wellness. This week I wanted to discuss a paper that is so new it has not yet been published, but has been approved to come out in the journal Experimental Physiology. An interesting side note is the main research for this paper occurred right here in the Okanagan at the Centre for Heart, Lung and Vascular Health at UBC Kelowna.

This research paper discusses the fact that excessive sitting has serious life-long public health implications; however, more research is needed to fully understand the actual ways this occurs in children. It is now commonplace for children to spend 5-7 hours per day sitting and not adequately moving. A sedentary lifestyle is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and increased mortality (death) in adults.

This study confirmed that excessive sitting by children and adults is a serious problem.

Researchers can now prove that deterioration and weakening in the inside walls of arteries occurs when individuals sit for long periods of time.

When this presents over a number of years, it can lead to health problems such as arteriosclerosis, where the insides of blood vessels are damaged, causing the subsequent buildup of cholesterol; all which can lead to serious negative health effects.

In this study they looked for (and found) negative changes in the artery walls after these children were sitting uninterrupted for an hour at a time. The encouraging result was that the second group of individuals in the study who exercised for only 10 minutes each hour, did not show the same negative changes in the blood vessels. So, the take-home message is if children must sit for long periods, it is extremely important to take mini breaks to move and exercise for 10 minutes each hour.

‘Falling back’ like a pro

By Jillian Christjansen, RN, BSN, www.PurelySleep.ca Our favourite day of the year is approaching; Daylight Savings Time ends on November 1st and brings with it that glorious hour of bonus sleep....unless you have a baby or small child!

Changing the clocks can disrupt a child's circadian rhythm, resulting in earlier mornings (hello 5:00 a.m.), crankiness around naps, and exhaustion by dinner time. So how should parents of babies and small children navigate the time change? First of all, leave the clocks alone until everyone is up for the day. It can be very disheartening to see your little ones up an hour earlier than normal! Just get up at your usual time, have a cup of coffee and some breakfast, then go around changing the clocks.

Naps and bedtime: For three days after the time change I suggest putting your children to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual (for their bodies this will feel like 30 minutes later.) For example, if your child usually naps at 9:30 a.m., you will put them down for their nap at 9:00 a.m. This will feel like 10:00 a.m. to your child, so be prepared for a bit of extra tiredness! It might be a push, especially for younger children and babies, but it's not so dramatic that it will damage their schedule. If your little one normally goes to bed for the night at 7:00 p.m., put them down at 6:30 p.m. for three nights. On the fourth day, move back to their normal times for naps and bedtime.

Morning: For toddlers and older children, it can often be enough to simply say “it's still nighttime, go back to sleep” when they wake too

early. For ages 2+ it can be effective to put a digital clock in their room with the minutes covered; teach them that they need to stay in bed until they see the “7”, and then set the time later each day. On day number four, set the clock to the correct time. Another option is purchasing a sleep clock for your child's room that lights up at your pre-set “morning” time. (I highly recommend the “Gro Clock” from www.Oyaco.com as many of my clients have had great success with it.) *For babies, you will need to take a more gradual approach with mornings.

On the first morning after the time change (November 2nd), wait a few minutes before responding when you hear them wake up; you don't want to rush in and confirm that 5:30 is now a great time for morning! Allow them to babble/ fuss for 10 minutes, then get them up and start their day with bright light, cheerfulness and activity. On the second morning, wait up to 20 minutes past their old wake up time. On the third morning, wait 30 minutes, and so on for a week. By the end of the week, your baby's schedule should be adjusted to the new time and they should be waking up at their usual time again.

It takes our bodies roughly one week to adjust to any change in sleep habits, so be patient! Take it slow and give your children time to make the shift. Within a few days their sleep will be on track, your mornings will be back to normal, and you'll all be sleeping better. If you are struggling with your little ones' ongoing sleep woes, I'd love to talk.

Looking back through history: POSITIVE SUGGESTIONS FOR PROMOTING SALMON ARM In March 1986, meetings were held during three Tuesday noon hours at Shoppers’ Guide office in Salmon Arm. As president of the Chamber of Commerce, I watched as excitement was building for the forthcoming six-month EXPO 86 in Vancouver, and wondered how we could invite tourists to come here. Through this column in 1986, I invited people to come to my office to share ideas, with no one saying: “It can’t be done.” From my typed notes of every suggestion, these are some excerpts: TOURISM CAN BE PROMOTED TO THE LAKE One person drew a lake monster called Shuswapasauras which can be used like Lake Okanagan’s Ogopogo. …….. Increase more salmon to spawn in the Shuswap River, then we learned that Fisheries was restocking the river. …….. More houseboaters should be welcomed around Shuswap Lake. Have more signs around the lake that say houseboats are welcome. …….. Have a Festival of the Lake, as one person saw in Lucerne, Switzerland one fall. One evening, candles were floated on corks all around the lake. …….. Tourists could be taken across the lake to Herald Park. While they are looking at the falls, a beef or salmon barbecue would be prepared and served before they returned to Salmon Arm. THINGS THAT CAN TAKE PLACE NEAR THE WHARF With the new wharf being completed this summer, we need a delivery system from it to shopping areas. We also need a public restroom near the wharf. …….. The CPR station could be acquired and used for tourism. It has a public washroom. …….. The new waterfront marina could give Salmon Arm a focus. A volunteer could be the person to lead a wharf promotion. The town needs an umbrella group for activities at the wharf. …….. Ask people to help make the wharf area beautiful, like Calgary, where people were asked to plant a tree in Confederation Park. No one had heard of the park because it was a ravine.

LET’S SEEK TALENT, AS EXPO DID FOR REGIONAL WEEK Bring the group from Lee Creek that performed an excellent skit on salmon spawning. They could come to Salmon Arm at regular intervals. …….. We could encourage travelling groups to meet here, like RVs, Airstream campers, converted Greyhound buses, but we need facilities here that they are used to. …….. Salmon Arm could encourage more religious groups to hold seminars. We have many churches here. They could invite groups to meet here. …….. The Sonnet Contest will be in Salmon Arm held a second year. Businesses could have poems or sonnets in their windows or have them written on sides of buildings, the way Chemanius has murals. …….. An old-fashioned barn dance could be held at Doreen and Dowie Schaffsma’s barn. They are opening their farm across from Gort’s Gouda, to visitors. …….. The London Bridge was placed on the desert at Lake Havasu in the States, then a lake was formed under it by a dam. Under the bridge is an English village, and merchants sponsor a bus for a 1¼-hour trip that costs $1 per person. Tourists are taken along the streets, stop in front of every sponsoring store, hear about it, and wave at the owner.

CANADA ELECTS JUSTIN TRUDEAU AS NEW PM, N.-OK. SHUSWAP ELECTS MEL ARNOLD AS MP On Monday, Oct. 19, Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party unseated Conservative Stephen Harper as prime minister.

Justin is the 43-year-old teacher who is the son of former prime minister the late Pierre Trudeau.

North Okanagan-Shuswap voters chose Conservative Mel Arnold as their Member of Parliament, replacing MP Colin Mayes who retired. Mel won over Liberal Cindy Derkaz, Green candidate Chris George, and NDP Jacqui Gingras.

CHASE HAS LARGE HOUSE NUMBERS When I was in Chase one day last week, door-knocking before the federal election, I noticed the extra-large house numbers on most homes. I remembered about 25 years ago, how active the firefighters were in getting homeowners to put large numbers on the front of their homes so they could be seen in case of a fire. Firefighters may have sold the numbers to homeowners so they would be consistent.

Few houses built since then do not have large numbers.

It was hard finding them. Perhaps it’s time firefighters in all communities encouraged homeowners to put large white house numbers on the front of every house.

AGE OF CONSENT WAS NEVER SEVEN Donna Young wrote: “I came across your column of August 21, 2015 about the age of consent in Canada for marriage being raised from 7 to 16. Sorry Ms. Scales but you are not correct. Age was 14 for sexual consent, never 7. I knew you were out to lunch on this one, because when I was getting married in 1968 I was 18, a policeman friend had to witness my parents’ signatures so that I could marry my sweetheart George Young, other wise known as High Pockets Young. We are still married 47 years later.”

She included Wikipedia’s explanation for Age of consent reform in Canada.

WHY AREN’T THANKSGIVING DINNERS ADVERTISED? Brian wrote to say he did not see advertising by restaurants for Thanksgiving dinner this year, the first time in 40 years. It was quite a contrast to many decades and he

wonders what happened. “Thank you, Sally. You always have a likely answer to most anything!”

Well, Brian, I can remember when restaurants advertised for special events like Easter, Christmas, Remembrance Day, and Thanksgiving. Now fewer people eat out on special days, and staff has to be paid a lot more on special days.

Did you know Home Restaurant has turkey dinner on its menu every day? Yes, complete with stuffing and gravy. It’s delicious!

On Sept. 15, 2015, minimum wage was increased to $10.45 per hour. An eligible employee who works on a statutory holiday is entitled to be paid time-and-a-half for the first 12 hours worked and double-time for any work over 12 hours; plus an average day’s pay. There are ten statutory holidays in British Columbia. A majority of employees can agree to substitute another day off for a statutory holiday. Learn more at www.labour.gov.bc.ca.

HAULED AWAY CARDBOARD GARBAGE A lot of cardboard sat on the sidewalk of Auto Road for a week, so I emptied boxes of cardboard, then collapsed boxes and loaded them into my SmartCar. I took all of it to a recycling bin near the airport. It had been about 18th St, between two driveways. Two prescription receipts dated Oct. 29, 2014 were inside for a Grindrod man.

Hmm. POOR MANAGEMENT OF MOBILE HOME PARK I’ve written about problem tenants, but I’m now hearing stories about mobile home park managers from hell.

I learned of management so poor at a local MHP that homeowners are afraid to speak to one another for fear of whom management is going to pick on next. It’s no longer a happy, friendly place. Have you heard of such a case?

Registered Disability Savings Plan refresher

So the last two weeks we’ve told you about the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) and how to qualify for it. This week we are going to assume you do qualify for the DTC and are going to remind you of an investment vehicle that is available to you: the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP).

It is important to bring it up because despite having been around for a while now, it seems to be a vehicle that only a few people understand and utilize.

As noted above, the main criteria for RDSP eligibility is qualifying for the Disability Tax Credit. After that, so long as you have a social insurance number, you are resident of Canada and are less than 60 years old; you are set.

Like the Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP), the main incentive to save money in this type of plan is the fact the government throws money into the pot for you, and who doesn’t like “free” money! The way the government does this is with the Canada Disability Savings Grant (CDSG).

The CDSG is available to beneficiaries up until the end of the calendar year they turn 49.

Like the Canada Education Savings Grant for RESPs, the extent of the grant is determined by your family income. If your 2014 “family income” is less than ~$87,900 then the CDSG is equal to 300% on your first $500 contribution and 200% on the next $1,000 for an annual maximum of $3,500. This means that a $1,500 contribution in a given year will result in the government kicking in $3,500!

If your 2014 “family income” is over ~$87,900 then the government matches your contribution 100% to a maximum of $1,000

Voters have rid the country of the right wing pox

Remember the uranium deal PM Harper signed with India’s PM Modi last April?

If Canada sells uranium to India, it will be a disaster. For India most likely, for Canada probably, and eventually, for all humanity.

Despite more than seven decades looking for solutions, the fact remains that radioactive waste disposal is

an intractable, unsolvable, and growing problem.

So where’s it going to go?

There’s a good chance it will all come back to us. American President George Bush the Younger planned to establish an international policy to send all spent fuel back to the country of origin – he thought that was fair

Fall Yard Waste Collection November 2, 2015

The City of Salmon Arm will be providing a one-day yard waste collection service on Mon, November 2, 2015.

All items (including branches) must be placed (unbundled) in compostable (kraft) paper bags.

Bags may be found at local retailers. Please check with retailers for availability.

The following items will be accepted for collection: clippings (grass, lawn, and hedge), sod, flowers, weeds (non-invasive), leaves, vegetable stacks, shrubs, and shrub/tree branches. Shrub and tree branches may be up to 1” (2.5 cm) in diameter and 3’ (91 cm) in length. Do not bundle branches.

Materials will be accepted in unlimited quantities. Maximum weight per bag is 20 kg (44 lbs).

Bags must be placed curbside by 7 AM on November 2, 2015. If the trucks are unable to reach every neighborhood on the collection day, missed neighborhoods will be collected on subsequent days.

For more information, call 250.803.4000 or visit www.salmonarm.ca/yardwaste.

and appropriate. And maybe it is.

But just so you know: When it comes back, it will be millions of times more toxic than when we sent the uranium to India. What we’ll send to India are heavy metals (isotopes of uranium) with halflives in the hundreds of millions and billions of years. What we’ll get back is a rainbow of extremely poisonous substances, many with half-lives of just a few decades, and one – plutonium 239 – with a half-life of about 24,000 years.

These substances are toxic in quantities ranging around mere millionths of a gram.

They can spread out

into the environment by wind and water.

Some of them mimic beneficial elements such as calcium and iodine. Some bio-accumulate in living organisms because of their mimicry. None are healthy.

And we won’t be doing India any favours by selling them the uranium, either. One accident like Fukushima or Chernobyl and the balance sheet goes completely the wrong way.

India has come close to such catastrophes many times in their nuclear history, as have reactors elsewhere on the globe. Recently the chief security guard shot and killed the

Ready to pay the billions in damages, or even hundreds of billions? If not, then let us not sell India any uranium because India sure can’t pay those costs themselves!

I wonder if any bribes were passed to the Harper government to help bring this deal about?

It is imperative that the Harper–Modi uranium deal must be reversed by PM Designate Trudeau!

Letters to the Editor

Voters have rid the country of the right wing pox

On Tuesday, October 20th, I woke up to sunshine and a beautiful day, went for a walk in the woods with my two small dogs and counted my blessings to be 71 years of age, retired, and living in this wonderful country.

I’d tuned in to CTV election coverage at 4:30 on election day as results were coming in from Newfoundland and Labrador, and stayed with it till the final tally from BC. Watching the events unfold reminded me of the excitement following the celebrations of the incoming 2000 New Year’s coverage starting in Australia and continuing all night across the world.

The election results

had gone in the direction that I had hoped for, but perhaps much further and with a few unexpected twists, some of which may not have been the most desirable, in my opinion, but at least acceptable.

For me there were only two issues.

Neither was about the economy, balanced budgets, (bogus or otherwise) the niqab, Quebec separation, the plight of refugees veterans or seniors, though all of these are important. For me the most important issues were to rid the country of this right wing pox that had afflicted our country for the last nine years, the lies, scandals, anti democratic policies and leg-

islation and the pitting of one segment and area of the country against the other. Get rid of this and all else would improve.

This Reform Con Vampire, this highjacker of the old PC Party, has been put to sleep by us voters.

From the Eastern Maritimes to Quebec to the Far West we, the voters, had successfully tread the minefields of its divisive fear tactics, outlandish attempts to suppress the vote, purchase the election with its gross corporate funding and imported ultra right wing advisers from Australia. We did well to put this thing to sleep but my only regret is we didn’t finish the job by driving a

stake through its heart and ensuring it never again would rise up to inflict such damage on us or the most vulnerable in our country.

Although I am not much of a main street media fan these days, I did think Bob Fife and Lisa LeFlamme put on a pretty good program covering the elections, though they tended to go a little soft on the losers towards the end following the leaders’ speeches. One could see the shock on their faces when that old war horse, Craig Oliver, tore into them, recapping and reminding them of why the people of Canada united to end this scourge, charging them to do their jobs

Decision to print letters was questionable

Your decision to publish two letters in the October 9th issue of Lakeshore News has led me to question your editorial policy.

Miriam Leggett’s “Harper trumps all” contains nothing but opinions that are in almost every case demonstrably untrue to anyone who is engaged with political reality.

Canada has not, in fact, “reached world status as the best place to live” under the Harper regime. It is self-evidently untrue to claim that he “has given the media very little to report on these last eight years.” We have clearly not acquired “an important voice in global affairs now, thanks to his bold leadership at the UN,” nor was he “the only voice in the UN that dares to stand alone in the face of 100% opposition.”

Each of these claims is patently false, and can easily be proven to be so by anyone interested in spending five minutes seeking out actual information.

Nonetheless, community newspapers

often publish the opinions of members of the communities they represent even when those opinions are completely baseless or nonsensical, as is the case here. Fair enough: we are all entitled to our opinion, as the saying goes. However, your decision to publish “Alarm bells ringing,” is another matter entirely, as most civilized communities agree that some opinions ought not to be given voice at all: in this particular instance, an offensive, paranoid, racist rant. Mrs. J. Muir’s piece shares with Miriam Leggett’s a comprehensive disinterest in engaging with reality, but does so in the service of ideas that have no place in a quasi-public forum such as your ‘Letters’ section.

It is not okay to suggest that the displacement of half of Syria’s entire population by a leader who has (with the help of both ISIS and the militaries of nations such as our own) killed over 250,000 of his own civilians, is “a so called ‘refu-

gee crisis’”: it is in fact a refugee crisis.

It is not okay to suggest that this is not a humanitarian crisis but “an Islamic invasion” of Western Europe, or to cite as evidence for this disgraceful view the opinions of Geert Wilders, an extreme right wing Dutch politician. It is not okay to obscenely suggest that a “few suffering women and children are thrown into this mad dash for a cover or sympathy for the gullible” any more than it is to suggest the existence of “‘No Go Zones’ where Muslims run amuck,” since the existence of these zones has recently been proven to be a complete fabrication of right wing media outlets and political figures.

Sadly, Mrs. J. Muir does not see the corpses of children

washing up on beaches or the exhausted faces of refugees seeking a safe place to raise their families and return to their normal lives as a human tragedy: she lives in a world in which we must be terrified of “bearded young men screaming ‘Allah Akbar,’” disguising their “real intent[ions],” and for her this “Islamic invasion” of Europe sets of “alarm bells.”

She is entitled to this opinion, of course, but it is a patently racist one, and the Lakeshore News ought to know better than to publicize it, since apparently, and unfortunately, not all of its readers are able to discern the difference between fact and opinion: there is one.

as journalists, and hold the new Liberal government to its promises of change, including electoral change. Change that will ensure no such assault as witnessed in the last nine years, on our citizens, institutions, privacy and true Canadian values will ever again get the opportunity, by any political party, to raise its ugly head.

It is incumbent on us voters to put aside partisan support and force these changes.

To do anything less will mean all of this was for nothing.

Thank you for the opportunity to express my thoughts.

Thank you, Stephen Harper

Fellow Canadians, change was wished for and change has come. Good change? Bad change?

Time will tell....

I chose to stand behind this government not because I voted them in, not because I fully agree with their position or beliefs, but because I am Canadian. I believe a country divided will fail, you need only look around to see that. Your vote has been cast. Now please I urge, I beg, I plead, let’s stop the hate and pointing fingers.

Let’s thank Harper for taking on a job few of us would be adequate for (if we were truly honest).

Thank him for the time spent away from his family (that will not be returned to him). Thank him for the sleepless nights he endured while making decisions that could alter the entire future of a country (while we slept peacefully

with no thought or even awareness to the issue).

Thank him for putting his very life in danger as he travelled the globe to keep and bring, peace and prosperity, to the present and future Canada.

Thank you Stephen Harper for your passion, your love, your service and your sacrifice for this beautiful country.

Mr. Trudeau, I pray that your shoulders are strong enough to bear the weight of an entire nation. That your perspective be broad enough to see beyond any personal pride or gain you may have. That you would seek our country’s best interests. Keep us safe, keep us prosperous, keep us humble, but most of all, keep us united.

God keep our land glorious and free.

God bless you Canada.

Bedtime Stories

Shuswap Theatre offers its first mainstage play of the 2015/2016 season – Bedtime Stories, written by Norm Foster, Canada’s most popular playwright. Some have called this his funniest play yet!

Samba

For ten years, Senegalese immigrant Samba (Omar Sy) has stayed under the government radar, taking menial kitchen jobs in the hope of becoming a professional chef. Suddenly, as his longtime ambitions for a better life seem just within reach, immigration authorities hit Samba with an order to leave France immediately.

Stubbornly holding onto his dream, Samba pins his hopes for a reprieve on a local immigration advocacy center and Alice (Charlotte Gainsbourg), an emotionally vulnerable volunteer with little experience, but plenty of heart.

Still trying to put her own life back together after a stress-related breakdown, she takes Samba under her wing, while trying to ignore the growing attraction she feels for him. As the immigrant and the burned-out corporate executive tentatively draw closer, their unlikely cross-cultural connection gives them each the courage to reinvent themselves in this vibrant romantic comedy full of tender humour and heartfelt optimism.

Samba shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 24th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Robin Hood comes to Armstrong

Armstrong’s award-winning Asparagus Community Theatre will take the stage this December with “Robin Hood and His Merry Men,” a comedic pantomime based on the well-known tale.

Written by UK authors Robin Bailes and Jonathan Hales, this wild romp through Sherwood Forest is funny for the whole family. In the tradition of the British pantomime, the production will feature hilarity, audience participation, cross-dressing, and lyrical good fun.

Directed by relative newcomer Sheryl Hamilton, “Robin Hood & His Merry Men” has a large, local cast and crew featuring the seasoned talents of Shaleen Toney (Robin Hood), Mark Trussell (Sheriff of Nottingham) and Phelan Gotto (Prince John), as well as many new and returning faces. This

You don’t know what you don’t know

I’ve been doing some specialized baking lately, and I was having a real problem with one component of a dish. Dr. Google to the rescue. I found out that I didn’t know an important thing about the chemistry of that one component. Who knew? Well, not me – I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Took some sleuthing but it was worth it.

The dish was rather spectacular in the end.

In the home decor world, with so much information thrown at us from the Home TV channels, in magazines, on the internet and through newspaper columns, it’s hard to believe that there are things we may just not know enough about to consider ourselves informed.

But we don’t know what we don’t know.

Because it’s that time of year when we are thinking about winter and energy efficiency, or maybe “just because,” you have decided it’s time to buy new blinds. You get a salesperson to come tell you all about their product, they choose one or two from their line and give you a quote.

You may be surprised to find out that blinds for a whole home can cost as much as a new little car.

Which prompts you to go to a retail store and spend some time looking at the displays and talking to the sales associate. (Who is probably

designdilemmas

by Linda Erlam

not well trained in blinds or interior decoration.)

You ask your friends what they think, or what kind of blinds they have.

You do some internet searching, but what do you look for if you don’t know what you don’t know? It’s difficult. The smartest thing you can do is acknowledge you don’t know what you don’t know and find someone who can guide you through the process.

After many, many of hours learning about all the blinds out there, after taking tons of courses, after installing hundreds of blinds and helping countless people choose blinds – and seeing the results of their choices, I am an expert on blinds.

And I’m writing a guide for you. “How to Choose Blinds” will answer your questions and give you the information you need to make the right choice. With confidence. Watch for the announcement here of where to get your free copy. You can read past copies of this column on Designsewlutions.ca.

Friday is KidSport Day at Triple O’s

Salmon Arm, B.C. – Let’s keep B.C. kids off the sidelines!

Triple O’s sixth annual KidSport Day fundraiser will provide financial support to young British Columbians who might not otherwise have the opportunity to play organized sports.

On Friday, October 23, Triple O’s will donate a loonie from the sale of every combo to KidSport BC. Funds raised on KidSport Day will support local KidSport chapters across the province, so support stays in local communities. Guests can also contribute at

one of 34 Triple O’s locations throughout the province until October 23.

KidSport Day helps put British Columbia’s financially underprivileged kids into organized sports such as hockey, baseball, gymnastics, lacrosse and soccer.

The campaign at Triple O’s has raised $140,000 since it kicked off in 2010. This year, Triple O’s is shooting for a fundraising goal of $50,000.

For approximately every $400 raised, one child in a B.C. community gets a chance to play

sports for a full year.

KidSport has provided financial assistance to half a million young amateur athletes since its inception in 1993.

“Every year, Triple O’s contributions to KidSport gives local kids the opportunity to develop self-confidence through sport,” says Team KidSport athlete Liz Gleadle. “Participation in organized sport translates to success in many other parts of life!”

In Salmon Arm, Triple O’s can be found at 101 Trans Canada Hwy, next to Chevron.

Known for years as the “Hangin’ Tree,” a gnarled and twisted ol’ side hill pine, still stands on the bench land, above Lillooet, on the west bank of the Fraser River. Although the tree’s grim connotation holds that back in the 1850’s and early 1860’s, desperados were hanged from its lower limbs, there is no factual evidence that there were.

However, there were five burials of Native and white persons beneath its spreading branches. A couple for murder in the local vicinity, and no doubt the rest for cattle rustling. Woe betide the dude that rustled a range cow or steer, and was caught, for justice was swift and it came with a lasso, and the nearest tree. The modern day rustler of beef may get a slap on the wrist and a bit of jail

time, but to the lowlifes who make a living taking from others, it seems it’s part of doing business. Cattle rustling has always been an ongoing issue, but seldom made public. But recently, it’s raised its ugly head in the Vernon area, in particular, involving Coldstream ranch cattle. Three cows and their calves have been shot and butchered, ranging from the Postill Lake area to King Edward Lake.

There are two lakes above Coldstream Ranch, namely Keiser Bill/King Edward. The ranch has offered a $1000 reward for information leading to a conviction. With few range patrols, forest service employees doing logging operation inspections, and fewer CO’s out and about doing game checks, it’s more lucrative for lowlifes to steal from ranchers, because of raising beef prices. On a recent hunting trip to the Brisco area, and staying at a ranch, I talked to the owner who says that a beef on the hoof right now is valued at $1,900, and big calves are going at auction at several hundred dollars. All this after several years of low prices, forcing ranchers to sell their spreads or downsize.

Wolves continue to be a major problem as well. The rancher has lost seven cows and calves to wolves again, and it seems to be affecting game animals, as we saw very few deer or elk, and predation by bears and wolves were blamed for his losses. Nine wolves were trapped and shot by the ranch-

er and CO, yet another pack has moved in.

They are doctoring calves right now that were slashed and chewed on by this pack.

It doesn’t stop at cattle being rustled, as I recall as a fishery officer dealing with poachers getting into the covered, locked holding covered pens, stealing salmon on the facility on the Salmon River. There was also a major break in at the Shuswap River hatchery east of Lumby, where the perpetrators trashed the gate and dipped salmon from the holding tanks.

Each late fall, with the bright sunshine and brilliant red/yellow colours of the leaves, officers had the task of counting coho salmon on many streams and rivers in the district. The Salmon River is divided into many sections; and each officer walks, doing counts. I was walking a section from the Falkland hotel, to Dear road. On climbing out of the river and onto the bridge, a feisty older gal came roaring down her laneway wanting to know what was going on.

Margaret, the owner, had just had two of her prize horses stolen from her pasture during the night. As well, there were not many range riders checking cattle on her range, way above Spanish Lake. She recognized me as the fishery guy, who, with my partner John, had stopped a week earlier to get her range steers safely across the busy highway and hustled down her laneway.

They had came through a broken wire and were feeding along side the road. In any case, she was very angry that thieves had taken the animals.

For hunters out there that see suspicious activity, please report it to the rancher or call it in. You’ll feel good about it and it just may save a beef animal’s hide!

Leather, butter, stickers, and mice

Dear Reena, We have two red leather chairs; the one I sit on has a whitish or a discolouration on the area where my head rests. I did try leather cleaner but it started to take the red off and left a rough spot on top of the discoloured area. I phoned the store where we bought it (at the time it was only a year old) and they said it was probably the chemicals I put in my hair. I will admit I get highlights done, but we have had other leather chairs and have never had this problem. Anyway it has gone on for four years now and I wonder if you or any of your readers have a solution for this, as I have a towel over it now because the mark is embarrassing. Thanks for any help you can give me. Elaine Dear Elaine, It is quite common for leather to discolour around where head and arms rest, this is a result of products that we use and body oils combined with abrasion.

Discolouration is most prevalent on dark colours. Leather repair kits are available online or in stores, although colour matching is very difficult and can often accent the area instead of hiding it. Leather recolouring balm is a great option for you because you don’t need an exact colour match. Rub balm onto the entire surface, the leather becomes softer and all colors blend together well. Leather protective products help prevent this challenge from occurring in the future.

Dear Reena, I have two children and I want to feed them healthy food but I am so confused about something as simple as margarine and butter. Which do you think is the better choice? India

Dr. Bruce Baker I Dr. Susi Cienciala 250.833.8585 942 Gardom Lake Rd. deepcreekvet@gmail.com Enderby, BC VOE 1V3 www.deepcreekveterinary.com

Dear India, Simple is not the word that I would use to describe the never-ending controversy between butter and margarine, but good for you that you care enough to care! In my opinion, moderation is definitely the key. There are pros and cons to both products, from personal experience, I can tell you that one of my relatives tried an experiment of waving goodbye to margarine and consuming butter instead, and her cholesterol point rose (but everyone is different).

Margarine is plant derived which sounds good but in order to achieve margarine to a consumable and appetizing state, the vegetable nutrients are greatly compromised. As well, the quality of the original plant also makes a big difference, and so do the chemicals and food colours added to the margarine. On the plus, margarine has less saturated fat which is good but the hydrogenated oils are not good. So, if you are choosing margarine, pick soft and not hard because it contains less saturated fat.

Butter is by far a more natural product and contains beneficial nutrients such as: butyric acid, myristic acid, vitamins A and E. The cow’s diet and health make a difference in terms of butter quality.

Therefore many experts advise consumers to stick with organic butter. Whether you choose butter or margarine, none or both, there are also other options such as almond paste, fresh hummus, natural peanut butter, applesauce, honey, olive oil, coconut oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, and grape seed oil (depending on the final use).

Dear Reena, How do I get a sticker off a mirror? Joe Hi Joe,

editorial@ lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Solutions&Substitutions

Simply spray with either cooking spray or WD-40. Leave 10 mins. and wipe. Clean mirror as usual.

Hello Reena, I own all of your Household Solution books and I also enjoy your weekly column. I have a mouse problem, which is unusual at this time of year. I have heard that I can have some success with keeping mice away by soaking cotton balls with peppermint extract and placing them near where the mice may visit.

Alternatively, try mixing chocolate milk powder with Plaster of Paris or dumping instant mashed potatoes in the area, as well as leaving open carbonated soda in saucers for them to drink. I would like to think that in summer I could put down borax or some other cleaning type of supply or possibly a hard spice that would discourage mice from attempting to find a home. My home set-up does not easily allow me to dig up and seal all entry points. Quite frankly I am going through a massive amount of poison at this time and I am unable to control the entrance area to my crawl space. I would like to repel these rodents to another space but if I am unable, I will continue to try to kill them.

Thank you for your time and hopefully you may have an equitable solution. Paul Dear Paul, Sounds like you are working hard to overcome this challenge! While some people resort to glue boards, mousetraps and poisons, other people are repulsed by the thought of hurting little animals.

Health Canada recommends that when all

by Reena Nerbas else fails, control mice with pesticide in tamper-proof bait stations filled with rodenticide. This poison used to control rodent populations must be kept away from food and children and pets. It is important to read the label directions and safety precautions such as; wearing gloves whenever handling rodenticide. It is also important to note that a mouse can have up to 16 babies at a time and therefore if the problem is not controlled, you will quickly have hundreds of mice running around your place.

Unless there is a way to seal off all entrances to your home with items such as expandable foam or steel wool, the problem will continue to grow. When the challenge has reached this degree your best bet is to call in professionals to help you control the mice or borrow a cat for a little while (making sure that the cat has no access to any poisons).

Fabulous tip of the week • To keep shelves and crispers in your refrigerator from looking dirty; lay rubberized shelf liners (available at dollar stores) on each shelf. Glass shelves will not look as crumby. When you want to clean out the fridge, just soak the liners in soapy water and wipe shelves.

Avoid this common hiring mistake

From smallbusinessbc.ca One of the most common mistakes a small business owner can make when hiring a new employee is not having a proper job description in place for the position first. In most cases, failing to define what is expected up front can lead to a difference in job expectations between the employee and the employer.

Here’s a typical scenario: You hire an employee who seems like a star because during the interview he answered your questions in all the right ways, and seemed very motivated to do whatever it would take to be successful in the role. Fastforward a couple of months and suddenly he seems to snub certain tasks and isn’t performing to the level you thought he would when you first hired him.

Having a proper job description becomes critical in this situation because it would have outlined job responsibility expectations to the employee from the start of his employment. What’s more, it would also provide the employer a means of holding the employee accountable.

A well-written job description provides potential candidates with a realistic picture of what will be expected of them in the job and then once hired, and also provides clarity and direction during the tenure of the employee’s job.

A solid job description should include the following key elements: Job title, reporting manager(s), employee’s name, date of when the document was made or revised. job responsibilities/ duties, required education and or experience, required skills, required abilities and behaviours, and outline of working conditions.

Job responsibilities and duties should be listed in bullet form and they should be very specific. Indicating education and experience requirements sets a minimum standard needed for the job.

Skills, abilities and behaviours should also be listed because these areas provide a basis for measuring intangible areas of employees’ performance, such as their positive attitude. Additionally, the job description should include working conditions, which lists any physical demands of the job such as lifting up to 50lbs or percentage of time spent traveling out of town.

A well-written job description will serve many functions for a business, including: • Creating detailed job postings, which can assist in recruiting future employees • Serving as a guideline to measure employee performance; a means for taking disciplinary action • Providing the employer with a better understanding of what each job does on a daily basis • Identifying where the job fits in the overall business structure • Helping to identify training needs and gaps in staffing levels The fundamental purpose of a job description is that it should provide a clear understanding of the job and what it entails to both the employer and employee. As a small business owner, you will know you have developed a well-written job description because you’ll have preemptively answered the questions that are commonly made when employees unclear about their job: “I didn’t know I was supposed to do that,” or “I didn’t know that was a part of my job.”

Understanding financial statements

From smallbusinessbc.ca Taking time to read your financial statements might not be the most exciting part of running your own business, but they are a key reporting tool that help you understand the state of your business and where it’s going. Your financial statements are also an essential tool to help you make important business and investment decisions, such as cost management, continuing or discontinuing a business operation, mergers and acquisitions, forecasting, and buying or leasing equipment.

There are four main financial statements: • Balance Sheet • Profit and Loss • Retained Earnings/ Deficit, and • Cash-Flow To help you grasp a better understanding of these statements, here are the answers to the five most common questions small business owners ask their accountant.

Why are some assets reported in the financial statements at cost and some at fair market value?

An assets value depends on your intention for acquiring them, how you want to use them. For example, if you invested in a portfolio with the intention of trading the assets, you would typically measure this at fair value. On the other hand, if you intend to hold the investment until maturity you would measure the assets based on their cost. However, assets such as property, plant and equipment are usually reported on the cost basis, less depreciation.

You may ask, why not use one approach to all these items? Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to this question. The The Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) sets most of these standards, after consulting with various interest groups, such as business owners, investors, creditors, and government authorities. The argument for fair market value is that it makes accounting information more relevant for investors and creditors. However, to appraise property, plant and equipment at fair value can be costly, requiring you to hire a professional appraising company to assess each asset.

And even then, the result may be less relevant to investors.

What is the difference between capital asset and current expense?

Any expenditure which has a useful life of more than a year will most likely be capitalized. In other words, you can receive an economic benefit in the future from that asset. Examples include land, building and equipment. These assets are recognized as expenses after they have been used up in the business.

Expenses represent immediate decrease in economic benefits. Generally, current expenses are everyday costs of keeping your business going, such as the rent and utility bills.

Sometimes the distinction between assets and expenses is subtle. For example, in a construction project all building costs,

including interest, material and labor will only be capitalized and expensed when you will sell the finished building.

In a few cases, corporations have a choice of whether to categorize certain expenses as assets or as expenses. For example, research and development costs. This assessment involves complex professional judgement procedure based on estimates disclosed in the notes to the statements.

What is the difference between the income statement and the statement of cash flows?

Your income statement represents your revenue and expenses for a period; while cash flow statement depicts movement of cash for the period.

However, your income and loss statements don’t necessarily correlate to your cash position.

For example, you may have completed sales and reported it as revenue, but you might not have collected the cash so it will be part of its receivable. On the other hand, you may have a substantial cash balance that may not be a result of sales but raised significant cash from debt or equity financing.

What does a cash flow statement tell?

Cash is the lifeblood of your business.

Your cash flow statement shows you the money that comes into your business, the money that goes out and money that is kept in the business to pay daily expenses. It has three main components – operating, financing and investing activities. Keep in mind that your company can be profitable, but still not have a positive cash flow.

What is depreciation, amortization and the capital cost allowance?

Depreciation and amortization represent the allocation of the cost over the useful life of an asset. The term depreciation is normally associated with tangible assets, such as, building, equipment, furniture and fixture; while amortization is typically associated with intangible assets, such as, copyrights, trademarks, goodwill and patents.

Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) enables you to claim depreciation expenses for calculating taxable income under the Income Tax Act (ITA) but it is not mandatory. The ITA sets the depreciation rates for each type of asset. For example, equipment will depreciate at a 20 per cent declining balance method. However, if you choose not to claim CCA, you can establish an accounting policy to use either a straight line method or a declining balance method to calculate the depreciation of your assets.

Taking time to understand your statements While taking time to learn and understand your financial statements is wise, it can be tough to understand all of the nitty gritty details. One way to learn more and get more from your financial statements is to meet with your accountant for a financial checkup once a year to explain in plain English what they consider your key numbers and how they affect your business.

Writing a good funding proposal

From smallbusinessbc.ca Cash is king. For many businesses in start up mode or looking to expand, securing access to capital is a stressful and challenging task. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some helpful tips on how you can boost your chances to earn funding for your business.

1. Complete your business plan first Remember the five Ps: “Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.”

Before searching out funding agencies, you will need to be able to explain:

• How much your project costs • How much money you are asking for • Your financial forecasts for at least three years • An industry/market analysis • An operations plan These basic components of your business plan not only force you to think of every contingency, but they also give funders certainty that you aren’t just looking for a handout.

2. Read and follow instructions Many of us tend to utilize a generic template for a business plan or project instead of taking the time to understand what specific funders are looking for. By familiarizing yourself with the format and content that a funder is seeking, you can better understand which types of businesses and projects they hope to fund. For example, if a funder specifies that they won’t fund more than 25 per

cent of a project, but you try to leverage 50 per cent, it won’t matter how fantastic the rest of your proposal is because it will get rejected.

3. Ask yourself: what’s in it for them?

Funders want to find a reason to give you money. But don’t forget that each funder has specific motivations for doling out cash. Earning a return on investment doesn’t necessarily mean a funder wants to earn XYZ per cent interest, but they will want to have assurances that their money will be spent to achieve certain outcomes, whether that be job creation, protecting the environment or improving peoples’ health. Make sure to explain how your business or project will help a funder attain their goals.

4. Research your competition Who else has been funded by the agency you are applying to? Look into what other sorts of business and projects have been funded in the past, it may give you a clue to the values of your desired funder. Even though your sales pitch must fit within the funder’s criteria just like everyone else, you also need to make sure you can articulate your unique selling proposition. Don’t be shy: if you believe your business or project is the best, make sure that the funder understands why.

5. Be clear and concise Use lists or bullet points where appropriate. Avoid fluff. Make every word count. Ensure you have all the basics covered of who, what, when, where, why and how. Read the application out loud to make sure it flows properly. Try to utilize similar language found in the funding application. Don’t be afraid to get your proposal “red-inked” or have a friend give it a second set of eyes. And before you submit, use spell check.

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.

CLASSES START THE WEEK OF OCT. 19

The Catholic Movie Club presents

The Keys of the Kingdom A young priest, Father Chisholm, is sent to China to establish a Catholic parish among the non-Christian Chinese. While his boyhood friend, also a priest, flourishes in his calling as a priest in a more Christian area of the world, Father Chisholm struggles. He encounters hostility, isolation, disease, poverty, and a variety of set backs which humble him, but make him more determined than ever to succeed. Over the span of many years he gains acceptance and a growing congregation among the Chinese, through his quiet determination, understanding and patience.

Arthur (Art) John Podruzny It is with great sadness that we announce Arthur (Art) John Podruzny, 61, of Tappen, BC, passed away on October 13, 2015. Art died peacefully in Kelowna General Hospital with his loving family by his side.

The funeral service was held at 11:00 am on October 17, 2015 at Bowers Funeral Home.

Art was born in Sexsmith, Alberta on September 24, 1954. He graduated from school in Wanham, Alberta in 1972 and in 1973 married his high school sweetheart Debra (Debi) Jean Podruzny (Zahara). They were married for 42 years during which time they had four children which he referred to as his “precious jewels”, until his nine grandchildren came along and stole his heart.

Art was a skilled athlete and was involved in all sports growing up but where he truly excelled was in baseball and curling. In the last few years of his life Art became quite interested in gardening and could often be found sitting outside in “grandpa’s garden”.

Art worked at P&G for five years until he was finally able to start his dream of farming full time in 1978. He happily stayed there for the next nine years until he made the move to BC. Art and his family took over the Tappen Esso in the summer of 1987 and have been there for the last 28 years.

Art is survived by his wife Debi Podruzny, children; Crystal (Dave) Belway, Nicole Podruzny, Aimee (Jeff) Rampersad, and Ryan (Linsday) Podruzny, grandchildren; Jeffrey Van Den Biggelaar-Podruzny, Maya Belway, Trina Podruzny, Chaselynn White-Podruzny, Callie Belway, Tavian Podruzny, Jocelyn Podruzny, Eberley Rampersad, and Mahla Rampersad, brothers; Robert (Edna) Podruzny and Brian (Edith) Podruzny, and other family and friends.

Art is predeceased by his parents John and Grace Podruzny.

The family of Arthur John Podruzny wishes to thank the nurses in the Kelowna General Hospital ICU for their kind and respectful care of Art in his last days and the support they provided to his family.

Online condolences may be sent through Art’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Trena Darleen Scott Trena passed away peacefully at the age of 54, surrounded by family, on October 13, 2015.

Trena was born in Grande Prairie, Alberta and raised just outside the city in Grovedale on the family farm, which mom had many fond memories of. The family moved to Salmon Arm in 1971; it took a while to adjust but Trena grew to love it here. Trena and Larry raised their children in Silver Creek. Trena was a very hard working woman, she had different jobs through out her life, but for most of it she was a bookkeeper. Her children were her life; she was always on the go with them in hockey, 4H, camping, and many other activities. She volunteered at the school with the children for lunch days, fundraising, chauffeur, or whatever was required. Over the past three years, Trena became a grandmother and truly enjoyed every single minute of it. Trena was a kind, compassionate, genuine woman, always there for a good heart to heart and amazing advice.

Trena will truly missed by all, and fondly remembered by her family, friends and anyone with the privilege to know Trena. Trena is survived by her husband Larry, her children and grandchildren; Lindsay (Joel) Hall, Devon (Laura) Scott, Jessica (Rylan) Walters, Sunny & Sawyer; her parents Jack and Darleen Greentree and her siblings, Shannon, Gavin, Tracy, Darilyn, Darwin, Una, and Jay. Trena will be forever in our hearts, we love you and miss you already. We take comfort in knowing that you will be joining little Scottie and in your glory with your grandma duties.

A funeral service was held on Friday, October 16 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church.

We would like to thank all the family and friends for their support in this difficult time. Thank you to the kind and caring nurses at SLGH. Online condolences may be sent through Trena’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
