Santa’s Workshop gets underway in Enderby

Santa’s Workshop in Enderby is now in full swing. Volunteers are on hand at the workshop from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Monday to Saturday to accept donations of new and gently used items.

Donations are sorted, cleaned, repaired if needed and boxed up for the Kids Only Shopping Spree or put away for the shopping events for seniors or teens and adults.

“We are looking for things young people can give to their mom, dad, siblings, grandparents – things you want to see under the tree at Christmas,” says Tracy Ell, who organizes the workshop

with sister Jackie Pearase and a group of dedicated volunteers.

Gifts for dads and teens are often in short supply, especially with the increased desire for the latest technology.

“We have to get kids to think outside the box when they’re shopping, so a wide selection is key,” notes Pearase.

“Think about things you want for Christmas.”

Dads love tools, socks, gadgets, hunting and fishing gear, hats, sports memorabilia, barbecue gear, gag gifts and décor for the man cave or shop.

Items appropriate to donate for teens include DVDs and CDs, pajama pants, boxers, toiletry packs, funky socks, ball caps, gift cards, ear buds, lip balm and slippers.

Other great gift ideas include garden tools, jewellery, household

items, scarves, hats and mitts, unique décor and games.

The volunteers also create themed gift baskets using many smaller items and mugs with small gifts and goodies.

While the gift items are priced so every kid can find things for everyone on their list, the event is not solely for families in need.

“We want to give kids a unique Christmas experience by letting them do their own shopping and having low prices helps make that happen for everyone,” explains Pearase.

“It is really about building self-esteem and seeing those huge smiles when they walk out with wrapped gifts they picked.”

This year’s Kids’ Only Shopping Spree is Friday, Dec. 4 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 5 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The Seniors Shopping Spree is Wednesday, Dec. 9 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and the

Teen and Adult Shopping Spree is Saturday, Dec. 12 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Donations can be dropped off at the workshop, located at 1001 Belvedere St. (next to Personal Fine Wines/across from Kaze Restaurant) until Nov. 28 between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

Monday to Saturday. A donation box is also located at the Ashton Creek Store.

Proceeds from Santa’s Workshop are donated to local non-profits benefitting children and families.

Santa’s Workshop began in 1996 as a way to provide seniors with a way to be involved in the community by mending toys that would then be given to children in need for Christmas. It evolved within a year to include toys for Christmas hampers provided to families by the local food bank, and a kids’ shopping event was added the following year.

At Harbourfront Family Chiropractic we have an in-house digital x-ray system which allows us to rapidly assess every patient’s spinal condition. Common problems we frequently see include scoliosis and postural changes, along with degenerative disc disease, traumatic fractures, and osteoporosis.

While some accidental traumas may be unavoidable, other spinal conditions such as osteoporosis are almost entirely preventable with the right information and lifestyle habits.

Osteoporosis is a disease where there is a loss of calcium out of the bones which leads to an increased risk of fractures later in life.

Fractures from osteoporosis are more common than heart attacks, strokes and breast cancer combined; and it affects both men and women. The main challenge with preventing this disease is that it is actually a childhood disease that only shows up as a problem much later in life. This is due to the fact that bone mass develops through childhood until 16 to

25 years of age. It is essential to do everything possible early in life to build strong bones in order to offset the loss of bone mass that occurs in every person’s later years.

Calcium is a mineral that is not only stored in the skeleton to provide strength to bones, it is also used in countless natural chemical and physiological reactions in the body. The innate (inborn) intelligence of the body constantly monitors the levels of calcium required for the numerous systems, and if insufficient amounts of calcium are entering through the diet, it is forced to draw calcium out from the bones.

When the diet is chronically deficient in calcium, too much calcium is drawn out of the bones, and osteoporosis occurs. Building stronger bones occurs when the nervous system senses a person is placing stress on their bony structure through weight bearing exercising such as walking, running, weight lifting, gardening etc. When this healthy, exercise stress is sensed in the body by the nervous

system, and there is ample calcium entering via a healthy diet, the body will place more calcium into the bones to strengthen them.

Far too often in my office I have to show a patient their x-rays where a compression fracture has occurred and is the source of their severe pain and disability. And when this occurs in an elderly person, gentle instrument adjustments to the spine can still help speed up recovery, but even better is to help parents understand the importance of prevention in childhood.

Prevention of osteoporosis starts in childhood and is quite simple.

Consume a protein-rich diet through sufficient amounts of meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and milk products. Add calcium-rich foods to your diet including the leafy greens such as kale, collard greens, and spinach. Others include broccoli, beet greens, green onions, cooked cabbage, and various beans. Obviously, if one is not consuming these healthy vegetables, one should add a high quality calcium s u p p l e m e n t .

Magnesium and Vitamin D are also important to help absorb calcium.

Finally, get up and move. Weight-bearing exercise is the last piece of the osteoporosis prevention puzzle.

Stress the bones so your nervous system is constantly stimulated to capture and store as much calcium as possible.

November is Osteoporosis Awareness Month, making it a perfect time for everyone to think about prevention of this disease.

Don’t let the flu bug you

The flu season is coming to a community near you, but there are things you can do to help stop the influenza bug from getting to you!

Up to 10 per cent of the Canadian population is affected by the flu each year. Those who are generally healthy will experience symptoms of varying degrees and recover fully in a week to 10 days. But for young children, the elderly or those with a chronic illness, the flu can be life-threatening.

Preventing infection in the first place is key.

Viruses are spread through direct contact (within one to two metres, airborne transmission) or indirect contact (surfaces). Signs and symptoms of the seasonal flu vary but usually include a combination of fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, headaches, muscle aches

and pains, and fatigue. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea could also occur.

“Red Cross encourages people to practice some basic health techniques to protect themselves from the flu and to stop the spread of germs to others,” said Dave Adamson, Red Cross First Aid Program Representative.

Wash your hands often, using plenty of soap and warm water. Germs can live on surfaces for up to 48 hours.

Clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer often throughout the day.

Disinfect common surfaces in your home such as doorknobs and light switches. At work, disinfect items such as your keyboard and telephone.

Cover your mouth when you cough, and sneeze into a tissue or the inside of your sleeve.

Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth to keep germs from entering your body.

If you become sick, stay at home.

This will prevent the spread of germs to other employees in your workplace as well as people you may come into contact with through your daily routine.

Talk to your health care provider about the annual flu shot and if that would be the right option for you and your family.

Red Cross works with government authorities and the public to prepare for, and respond to, health emergencies such as a flu outbreak or pandemic.

For more information on how to protect yourself from the flu, its symptoms and what to do if you become ill, visit www.redcross.ca/flu or www.healthlinkbc.ca.

Blue circle marks World Diabetes Day

November is Diabetes Month across the globe.

The Canadian co-discoverer of insulin, Dr. Frederick Banting, was born on November 14, 1891. November 14 is referred to as World Diabetes Day. Until 2006, there was no global symbol for diabetes. Now, the blue circle represents diabetes, but to many people around the world it still means nothing. One of the aims of World Diabetes Day is to increase awareness of the symbol and strengthen its role as a means of bringing diabetes to the attention of the general public and supporting all efforts to improve the lives of people living with diabetes and reduce the serious global threat that the epidemic represents.

The purpose of the symbol is to give diabetes a common identity. It aims to: • Support all existing efforts to raise awareness about diabetes • Inspire new activities, bring diabetes to the attention of the general public • Brand diabetes • Provide a means to show support for the fight against diabetes It is estimated that about 10 million Canadians live with diabetes, pre-diabetes or are undiagnosed. Of this number 300.000 people live with type 1 diabetes, who require insulin daily to survive.

Looking back through history and at today’s news: POSTAL CODES WERE VERY HARD TO IMPLEMENT In September 1977, a five-day check of 12 post offices in Area 4 showed that Salmon Arm was third from the bottom by percentages of mail that had postal codes. Our 1000 pieces of personal mail was 65.5 per cent coded. The district’s goal was 64 per cent.

How could Shoppers’ Guide help Salmon Arm increase the use of postal codes? At a staff meeting we decided to ask people to write a six-line poem that may help people remember to use postal codes. The poems were printed in the paper, which had its name changed from Shoppers’ Guide to Lakeshore News in 1997.

POEMS HELPED PEOPLE REMEMBER CODES In November 1977, Salmon Arm’s use was 70.6 per cent, one-third from the top. Post offices in Area 4 were bordered from Quesnel to Golden to Vernon to Hope and back to Quesnel.

A handwritten note on the bottom of the page of results from Anne, the postmaster, said: “Sally, this is thanks to the General Public. Their average is better than businesses!”

IN 1978, SALMON ARM’S USAGE INCREASED February of 1978 showed Salmon Arm was fourth from the top at 71.4 per cent. The district’s goal was 70 per cent.

Hooray! In one week of March, 78.9 per cent of the general public used postal codes. Salmon Arm was tied with Merritt. Hope was still ahead with 82.6.

A year later, Salmon Arm was tops! In March 1979, 86.2 per cent of general public used codes. Salmon Arm was the highest of the 12 post offices in the test. Anne’s handwritten note on the bottom said “Sally, postal code test results for your information. Folks in Salmon Arm deserve a STAR!” PROBLEMS ABOUT 15 YEARS LATER WITH A NEW POSTMASTER A new postmaster at the Salmon Arm post office set about to change people’s mailing addresses. He kept changing the address of homeowners, including postal codes, giving them three weeks to make the change. Incoming mail to the old address will be returned.

People complained to him, but he wouldn’t listen. It takes longer than three weeks to change an address. It didn’t matter to him. In fact, he changed his mind in some residential areas, and sent homeowners a different address.

A parade was organized down Hudson Avenue, with many people on the back of a truck. Its focus was to get the postmaster to stop changing residential mailing addresses. A picture showing banners and signs being held, with the postmaster’s name, appeared in a newspaper. It was probably sent to his superior because within a few months he was transferred out of town.

WELLNESS TRADE SHOW IN KAMLOOPS Last year I learned about disability insurance by listening to a speaker at the Kamloops wellness show. This year the trade show is two days long, Sat., Nov. 7 from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Sun., Nov. 8 from 10 to 4. It’s at a new location, at the Coast Kamloops Conference Centre in downtown Kamloops.

VOLUNTEER WITH LEGION’S POPPY CAMPAIGN The annual Legion campaign is underway and volunteers are needed to assist the Legion with the poppy sales. There are schedules posted in the main entry of the legion listing the various locations and shift times at the various locations.

It’s important for people to understand that the Legion is not only there to assist the veterans and their families; it is also a community-based, not-for-profit organization, and as such, the monies raised from the campaign are distributed to the many charities in the community. Last year the campaign raised approx. $24,000 with the majority going back to the community in the forms of bursaries and donations to various organizations.

Legion members will be parading from the Legion Branch to the cenotaph on the morning of November 11th for the wreath laying ceremonies in remembrance of the veterans. Afterwards, the Legion will be serving chili for lunch, by donation, and the bar will be open. Live music will start at two o’clock.

President Henry Butters also stated that the Legion has, and still is, undergoing many changes. Many people are still under the misconception that you must be a veteran or family member of a veteran to join the Legion. This is not true and he welcomes newcomers to come to the branch and learn firsthand what the Legion has to offer to its members and the community at large.

UKRAINIAN DANCERS AT PICCADILLY ON NOV. 14 On Saturday, November 14, Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble from Vernon will be dancing at Piccadilly at noon. They will be performing under the direction of artistic director Andrea Malysh.

FALL FAIR HAS NEW CONSESSION OPERATOR Helen Charlton, owner of Pink Cherry on Hudson Ave. in Salmon Arm, had her first three days as food vendor in the entrance to the fall fair in September. When the previous operators retired, she believes she was asked because she has a catering business.

All food was made from scratch at Pink Cherry. When more food was needed at the fair, it took a phone call to the restaurant and it appeared. Coffee was Frog Friendly Wild,

roasted in Canoe.

She had some staff help her in the concession, and her daughters Charlotte and Natasha. Helen said the customers were lovely and she enjoyed talking to the vendors, the exhibitors and the judges. She said they were very excited to be a part of the great community event.

DAVID STEPHAN SPOKE ON TRUEHOPE EMP Bipolar sufferers can have relief of symptoms from vitamin-mineral capsules produced in Alberta 20 years ago by David’s father and a friend. During a two-hour presentation at Askew’s Uptown conference room on Oct. 27, the 32-year-old son, who lives in Nelson, spoke about his grandfather and mother committing suicide, then the company’s discovery, and problems with Health Canada. Now the capsules are recommended by some psychiatrists.

Gradual withdrawal of prescription medications while introducing Empowerplus needs to be supervised.

Twenty-six medical journals have articles on how beneficial EMP is for more than bipolar. It decreases symptoms of depression, and assistspeople with addictions to tobacco, alcohol and drugs. Easing fibromyalgia takes longer. EMP shuts off pain in the brain of trigeminal neuralgia. When you give the body all the nutrients it needs, it heals itself.

Research on rats showed that those with induced stroke recovered quickly with Empowerplus. Read more at www. truehopeemp.ca, and watch many Truehope EMP videos on YouTube.

MOBILE HOME PARK RESIDENTS’ MEETING I am amazed how many people in a MHP have a manager/owner from hell. They are outside Salmon Arm, too. All are invited to a meeting on Sunday, Nov. 15 in the lower hall of St. John’s Anglican Church in Salmon Arm. Park behind the church or on the street, and enter from 170 Shuswap St. SE. It’s half a block from the Husky gas station. The door will open at 2 p.m. and meeting will start at 2:30. Admission by donation.

No names of managers/owners are to be given. We’ll just hear problems in your park that will not be named. I welcome people who had a problem in their park and solved it.

Frustrated residents are looking for a solution.

SPEEDBOAT OWNER ON SHUSWAP FOUND GUILTY Five years ago, a speedboat was being driven erratically late at night on the North Shuswap. It collided with a houseboat, embedding right into it. On Oct. 27, 2015, in Supreme Court in Kamloops, speedboat operator Leon Reinbrecht was found guilty of criminal negligence causing death to houseboat operator Ken Brown, and criminal negligence causing bodily harm to several passengers on the houseboat.

YOUR BRAIN SIZE MAY BE RELATED TO HOW MANY FRIENDS YOU HAVE Jude Corfield, a homeopathic in her Shuswap Homeopathy Clinic in Salmon Arm, wrote in her newsletter that researchers from Oxford University in England have established that the number of friends you have is related to the size of your brain. The research that was published in a biological journal showed that the size of a part of your brain just above your eyes – the orbital prefrontal cortex – is linked to the number of friends you have. The larger your orbital prefrontal cortex, the more likely you are to have more friends.

Pet report card

The kids have been back to school for a couple months now and will soon be gearing up for their first report card. With all of this in mind I thought it was prudent for Mall Arkey Junior to do his annual “Pet Report Card.” It had previously been termed the “Duma Report Card,” but with the addition of Jasper the dog we have expanded it to include both pets.

This is Duma’s third annual report card. Last year she made the Honour Roll with a grade point average of 3.50. As for Jasper, this is first kick at the can!

1. Work Habits 101 (Duma’s Last Year’s Grade: A+) – Last year Duma was awarded the MVM or Most Valuable Mouser Award and this year she is going for an unprecedented back to back MVMs. She continues to do an excellent job of leaving rodent parts right in front of my vehicle or by the front door of the house. Despite doing her best to be the teacher’s pet; I’d be more impressed if she cleaned up after herself. However, the criteria is not in how she does it, but rather in the quantity.

Therefore, I’ll still give her a high grade. As for Jasper, he continues to make great strides in following the commands of sitting and staying, but still needs some work on coming when called. Not rolling over yet, but give him time. GRADE: A+ for Duma / Jasper C+.

2. Outdoor Recreation 101 (Duma’s Last Year’s Grade: A-) – Duma continues to prefer the independence of roaming around outdoors. This has increased with the introduction of Jasper who still hasn’t learned how to treat a lady. So her irritation of being assaulted by the dog has definitely been a motivating factor for her. As for Jasper, he is an energetic pup and loves going outside to run around and burn off all his energy especially if it means chasing Duma up a tree. However, he needs to do a better job of staying out of the neighbour’s yard and eating horse manure. GRADE: A for Duma / B for Jasper.

3. Foods & Nutrition 101 (Duma’s Last Year’s Grade: B+ and D- for the boys) – Duma continues to keep her food bills down with all the mice/voles

she’s been eating. Although Duma did sneak in the house and start eating pizza off the kitchen counter when we weren’t looking one time. Being a dog, Jasper thinks he is always hungry even if he isn’t.

He has done a good job of eating his food, but he continues to have an affinity for dirty socks, shoes and previously mentioned horse manure. As for the boys? Well they are doing a better job of feeding the pets, but “better” is still a relative term. GRADE: Boys get a C, Duma gets a B+ and Jasper a C+.

4. Health & Safety 101 (Duma’s Last Year’s Grade: C) – Though she continues to get stuck on the roof of the house, she has avoided any interaction with vehicles and large birds of prey (at least that I’m aware of). Jasper is pretty skittish, so he’s done a good job of avoiding vehicles and given he can’t climb, he has managed to avoid following Duma onto roof. His only health and safety issues relate to being attacked by his much bigger cousin dog Gertie. GRADE: B+ for Duma / A for Jasper / Gertie D. 5. Grooming (Duma’s Last Year’s Grade: B) – Duma continues to come home covered in burrs, which leads to her chewing them out of her fur and leaving them along with clumps of hair in the garage. It is easier for Jasper being that he can get a haircut once in awhile, but he does need to do a better job of staying away from the manure.

GRADE: B+ for Duma / B for Jasper.

Congratulations to Duma as she continues to improve and has now brought her grade point average up to a solid 3.64 and again puts her on the Honour Roll. For a first year pet, Jasper is doing great with a GPA of 2.92 and his enthusiasm and desire to learn sets him up to have great success in the future. Finally, the boys are showing improvement. They have been taken off academic probation, but continue to show they need to be monitored closely. Hopefully their real report cards will show more improvement than their pet report card!

I’m not a large fan of dealerships; I won’t get into any details. I also believe that we should recognize a positive thing when it happens.

Braby Motors have done a very courageous and honest thing in their full page ad in last week’s Lakeshore News. Braby Motors displayed the actual asking price of their vehicles, there were no rebate offers, cash back, long term financing, “0” Down, etc.

You could actually see the exact asking prices of the vehicles in the ad.

A-finnity Comfort Solutions A-finnity Comfort Solutions has a lot of great products, but it really is mostly about comfort.

“The name is partly from our name ‘Finn’, plus affinity means ‘natural attraction’ and we all have a natural attraction to comfort,” says Heather Finn (above, left) who owns the store with her husband, George Finn (above, right).

“We sell everything ‘comfort’... mattresses, mattress toppers, feather beds, pillows, heating wraps, slippers, essential oil blends and diffusers, stuffed animals with warming packs in them, the basic things you need for comfort and natural pain relief,” says Heather.

It’s also a good place to look for Christmas presents as they have lots of gifts and stocking stuffer ideas.

“The NHL onesies are really popular. Guys come in and say they’re going to get one for their girlfriend but they buy it in their own size,” says Heather laughing.

What inspired them to open the store was a particular product.

“We bought a mattress pad that heats and cools. I got one from the States two years ago and it changed my life,” says Heather. “If you’re a cold sleeper, there are many ways to get warm but if you’re a hot sleeper, there isn’t much you can do.”

This unit heats or cools water and circulates it through tubes in the pad so it keeps a constant temperature throughout the night and it has dual zones if a couple can’t agree on temperature.

“It’s an amazing product and it can be life-changing.

Once they brought the product to Canada we wanted to sell it... and everything expanded from there.”

Both Heather and George have other jobs: Heather is the Controller at Big Foot Manufacturing and George is a pump truck operator at Action Concrete Pumping.

George grew up in Pritchard and Heather grew up in Alberta and Ontario before working in Vancouver and eventually moving to Salmon Arm. Heather says they’re both amazed at the warm welcome they have received from the local community, and they look forward to meeting more new people and making new friends.

The store is located at the corner of Alexander Street and Hudson Avenue. They are open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. To contact the store phone 250-8042662.

Celine’s Just Desserts There are homemade style treats on the counter and the best part is, they’re all gluten free. Celine’s Just Desserts just opened up in Centenoka Park Mall near the Staples entrance.

For years Celine Giesbrecht (pictured) sold her baking at farmers markets in the various places where she lived around the province.

“I live in Blind Bay, we moved here two years ago. I was selling at the Sorrento Farmers’ Market and at Demilles and it was getting to the point where I couldn’t keep up with the amount of orders in my kitchen so I expanded into a commercial space in Blind Bay and I opened this retail space in the mall,” says Celine.

Years ago Celine got a job in a bakery and realized she

had an allergy to gluten. As some of her family members have Celiac disease, all her baking is done without gluten, but she doesn’t compromise on taste because people can’t taste the difference. She makes mini pizzas, brownies, cupcakes, muffins, and squares. She does cakes by special order (with three days’ notice). She serves coffee and loose leaf tea as well.

Celine’s Just Desserts is open regular mall hours, Monday -Thursday and Saturday - 9:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Friday 9:30 a.m. - 7 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.

To contact Celine call 250-253-3978 or visit her Facebook page Celine’s Just Desserts.

Flowers by Fimmy Earlier this week Flowers By Fimmy celebrated a grand re-opening at their new location in the Mall at Piccadilly. With an extra 500 square feet the new store has more giftware and home decor items. Fimmy Ganshorn (above) says although there is much more giftware, flowers are still the mainstay.

“We still have fresh flowers for pickup and delivery and we have flowers for all occasions.”

There are gifts for everyone’s budget and no matter what the purchase, the item goes into a nice bag. Offering this service is important to Fimmy as a way of showing customers she appreciates their business.

“When I was little and lived in Rutland we would go into a store and they would put our purchases into a nice bag and make it pretty. I thought ‘If I ever have a store I’m going to do that.’”

Fimmy has owned her store for over 17 years and this coming January marks 40 years since she started her apprenticeship at the House of Flowers.

It was a lot of work moving into the new location but Fimmy had a lot of offers to help: “I even had an 86-yearold customer say, ‘Well I can’t do much but I can help clean.’ I want to thank everyone for their offers. It was heartwarming and inspiring to me.”

To contact Flowers by Fimmy visit her website at www.flowersbyfimmy.com or her Facebook page or call 250-832-7700.

Logix Learning Centre Logix Learning Centre, a tutoring centre for students

Death Café & Workshop Shuswap Hospice is hosting an informal Death Café on Thursday, November 12, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Blue Canoe. Author Stephan Garrett will be facilitating. A Death Café is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives, or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session.

At a Death Café people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea/coffee and chat about death. The aim is to increase awareness and acceptance of the fact that we will all die on day and being prepared or giving thought to that reality is paramount to living well and dying well.

On Friday, November 13, Stephan will be leading an all-day workshop at the Prestige Inn from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The two topics are: 1) Changing Our Relationship with Death, and 2) Having Those Difficult Conversations.

The cost of $60 includes a continental breakfast and lunch. He combines a unique blend of spirituality, practicality, humour and common sense in his approach to serving individuals, families, and groups as they walk the mysterious path of dying and death.

Stephen holds a Master’s Degree in Leadership & Training, diplomas in meditation, conflict resolution, and negotiation & communication. He is a published author of three books: Men Read This; Monks Without a Church; and When Death Speaks.

Pre-registration is highly recommended. For more information or to register, call 250-832-7099 or send an email to admin@shuswaphospice.ca Chinese Music Lessons Ling Yang (right) is offering Chinese music lessons on the zither and lutes.

Ling graduated from China XinHai Conservatory of Music in Guangdong with a major in plucked instruments. She has over 25 years experiences of performance and teaching throughout North America and Asia.

She will take students from four years old to adult. Private classes and group classes are available and she rents and sells the instruments.

“I could teach in my place or go the students’ places,” says Ling. “A maximum of eight graduation credits for Grades 10, 11 or 12 are given to students who have completed level 7/8/9 grading exam. Students are fully recommended to attend the grading examination from Central Conservatory of Music once a year in Vancouver.”

For more information email Ling at yanglingisabelle@ gmail.com or by text at 604-303-0313.

Investing habits

A new study from the BC Securities Commission shows that an investor’s personality affects how they approach investing, how they work with an advisor, and how they perceive their investment outcomes.

According to the Smarter Investor Study, 27 per cent of British Columbians have an advisor, compared to the national average of 30 per cent.

In vestors in Ontario and the Prairies are most likely to work with an advisor (35%), whereas respondents in Quebec are least likely (22%).

Conducted by Innovative Research, the study also reveals that half of British Columbians don’t know how much they paid their advisor over the past year.

The study segments respondents into five core personality types (Confident, Diligent, Reserved, Impulsive and Tumultuous) to understand the effects of personality on investing. Among the key findings: • Confident inves-

tors are most likely to conduct an advisor background check.

(77 per cent) • One-third of impulsive investors have never asked their advisor about compensation.

• Nearly three-quarters of diligent investors always read their statement. (74%) The BCSC is encouraging British Columbians to take a quiz at quiz.investright.org to discover their investing personality, along with tips to empower themselves with their investments and get the most out of their relationship with their advisor. According to the survey, the vast majority of British Columbians trust their advisor, and trust is given as the most common reason for not asking about compensation. The study findings reinforce the importance of being proactive in an investor-advisor relationship: • Only six in 10 British Columbians with advisors always read their statements.

(62 per cent)

Remember the good old days when a bank account used to generate interest? Some reading this column may also remember paying almost 20% interest on debt back in the early 80’s.

Interest is a distant memory on deposits, and while low rates have helped those in debt tremendously, it has punished savers at the same time. Welcome to the new normal, ZIRP! ZIRP is the policy Japan, America and most other developed nations have adopted and stands for Zero Interest Rate Policy. ZIRP is a macroeconomic concept describing conditions with a very low nominal interest rate (zero fits this category) and can be associated with slow economic growth.

For two years now, the Federal Reserve (U.S. Central Bank) has been “tweeting” about raising rates but has balked at every opportunity. It’s not as though the Fed is talking about hiking rates back up to normalcy (5%-ish), rather raising rates by a trifling quarter point! The Fed’s quandary can be understood a little better by examining what “monetary normalcy” or a “normal interest rate” is supposed to be. Or even more fundamentally, what is an interest rate? As advocates of Austrian Economics, “Austrians” understand an interest rate as an expression of the market participants’ time preference. The underlying assumption is that people are inclined to consume a certain product sooner rather than later. Hence, if savers restrict their current consumption and provide the resources for investment instead, they do so only on condition that they will be compensated by increased consumptive opportunities in the future. In free markets, the interest rate can be regarded as a measure of the compensation payment, where people are willing to trade present goods for future goods.

Makes logical sense right?

In today’s world there is no interest generated on deposits, thus there is no incentive to delay consumption, which is precisely what the Fed and every central bank wants. While the design of ZIRP is to stimulate the economy vis a vis disincentivizing savings, the long-term effects are currently unknown as this monetary experiment is truly unprecedented in financial history.

Perhaps the future will bring NIRP (negative interest rate policy) where depositors will be charged for the luxury of storing their hard earned savings in a bank? Tick tock, time will tell.

• One quarter of B.C. investors with advisors have never asked about compensation.

• Fewer than half have conducted a background check.

(43 per cent) The study’s Smarter Investing Index measures perceived investment outcomes through four key areas: goals, suitability, knowledge and confidence. Canadians with strong client-advisor relationships score highest. Male investors aged 55+ score higher than both women of the same age, and younger men.

24 years of local Real Estate Knowledge

Earlier this month, the Salmon Arm Elks held a pig roast with all proceeds going toward assisting charitable organizations helping the needy in our community. The event was, in our opinion, very successful, and we raised almost $2,500 that will directly help the aforementioned local organizations.

We were very impressed by the response of local businesses when we approached them for donations for door prizes for the event. At every business

establishment we approached, we received a friendly and generous greeting. It is clear to us that Salmon Arm businesses are very community minded and are willing to participate in worthwhile activities. Many thanks to the businesses we contacted (we did not visit them all by any means) and we would like to recognize the following in this respect: Askew’s Foods Downtown, Home Building Centre, Rona Building

Supplies, Shoppers Drug Mart, Westside Stores, Braby Motors Ltd., Jacobson Ford, Salmon Arm Golf Club, Tim Hortons Uptown, Canadian Tire, Nutters Bulk & Natural Foods, Save-On-Foods, and Walmart Supercentre.

It is a pleasure to live in a community where businesses are more than willing to help make a success of community fundraising events – the support is very much appreciated!

Hunter numbers increasing, game numbers decreasing

To the many young hunters just now experiencing their journey into our woods after competing their CORE program, an receiving their hunter number card, it can be a puzzling experience.

in the woods due to excessive clearcut logging. (Logging blocks were once capped at 50 hectares, but after the pine beetle attack and harvest, blocks continue to increase.)

This allows more hunters into remote or hard-to-get-at locations, on ATVs and quads, making it tougher for the young hunter to compete for the animals biologists have allowed hunters to harvest. Although the Ministry of Environment is working with forest companies to reduce access to prime animal habitat, by blocking roads off and ditching, hardcore hunters will still get into these spots using chainsaws, quads, etc. A prime example of this was near Canal Flats, up Findley Creek, where the St. Mary’s native band and Chase members continue to have a communal hunt. The random taking of high numbers of moose/ deer/elk from a large camp had concerned folks placing cement block barriers to stop the carnage and block off access points.

Come winter, trappers and cougar hunters removed the barriers.

Access to crown lands for recreation, hunting, and fishing is becoming a major issue around the province, as more locked gates appear around farms and ranches for liability reasons. But to help out the young and upcoming hunters, the Ministry has implemented youth seasons. A good example is Region# 8, Okanagan, where the deer and grouse season

starts Sept. 1 to 9, and runs again for deer Nov. 1 to 30. Region#3 is similar. But now the question is raised: are our new biologists managing the resource properly, and will there be enough animals for carry-over?

It’s hard to fathom that they allow a two week extended whitetail doe season in most of Region# 8 (Cherryville/Lumby), then a bow-only season in December.

Some of the senior biologists, now retired, etc, and even conservation officers I’ve talked to during my career, are having difficulty with this rationale. Much concern comes from lack of resources; the Ministry doesn’t provide. There are no dollars available to do studies on predator-prey relations, mortality, carry-over, climate change, and game populations. Overall, many hunters, including youth, are seeing fewer game animals out there. This includes us ol’ geezers, who had few difficulties seeing many animals on a day’s sojourn through the woods years ago.

There are many more factors at play here though, and it comes down to the fact that it’s a changing world with a changing environment. Weather patterns are changing, along with a shrinking habitat base, for moose, deer, and elk; and even the small critters. Presently, prey species such as coyote, wolf, bear, and cougar are at a peak, and game animals are scarce. It’s a cycle that’s interest-

ing to observe, but doesn’t put game meat in the freezer to feed the family. But to the young hunters out there, who are probably more knowledgeable now about such things than we were growing up, it’s still about enjoying the wonders of nature...a quiet walk in the woods, and a very rewarding experience being fortunate enough to harvest a animal and make some parent very proud of their son or daughter!

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Kamloops Symphony performs Sibelius

SALMON ARM, B.C. – Kamloops Symphony returns to the Salmon Arm Recreation Centre for the first of their Salmon Arm Series with Sibelius.

They will showcase three works by the composer: Finlandia, the Violin Concerto, and Symphony #2, as an early celebration of the composer’s 150th birthday.

The Finnish composer, who was known for his originality, became a national hero in Finland. Finlandia became the country’s unofficial national anthem. The piece got Sibelius noticed and he became a legend throughout the European continent.

Sibelius’ music helped form the Finnish national identity. The country honours him each year on his birthday, December 8, with an unofficial

Jazz Club turns up the energy Come check out Salmon Arm Jazz Club performer Mike Field on Thursday, November 12 at Shuswap Chefs.

Born and raised in Canada, jazz trumpeter and composer Mike Field is known for his bright, upbeat and energetic music. His latest album, Rush Mode, won five Aurora Awards, two Independent Music Video Awards (IMVAs) and was nominated for two Independent Music Awards (IMAs). He performs his compositions with local musicians at jazz festivals, societies and clubs in New Zealand, Australia, Europe, North America and Antarctica. Notable recent concerts include the Nelson Jazz Festival in New Zealand, the Grampians Jazz Festival in Australia, the Newmarket and Niagara-on-the-Lake Jazz Festivals in Canada, The Lighthouse Cafe in Los Angeles, SCAT Jazz Club in Madeira and Gregory’s Jazz Club in Rome.

Mike writes his music either when he’s traveling or when he’s ensconced in Toronto’s urban lifestyle. His melodies are dynamic and exciting and since learning languages and trav-

eling to all corners of the world has always been a part of Mike’s life, the titles of his songs often reflect movement and cultures – such as Missing in Paris, Streets of Santa Monica or the Latin-flavoured tune, El sótano.

Mike began playing the trumpet at the age of 10 and studied privately with classical performers in the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

In 2001, he entered the Masters of Jazz Performance program at New York University and began composing upon returning to Toronto in 2003. By 2007, he was performing with several local jazz, reggae, funk and experimental bands, finally forming his own jazz quintet in 2009. He released his debut solo album, Ashes, in 2011 and Rush Mode two years later, along with his first professional video for the title track.

The show takes place in the banquet room of Shuswap Chefs Restaurant (551 Trans-Canada Highway, next to the Tim Horton’s downtown) and goes from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Admission is by donation, and a drinks & tapas menu is available.

flag day celebrated as the “Day of Finnish Music.” On November 13, Kamloops Symphony brings the Finnish music to Salmon Arm. Audience members will hear the Violin Concerto, one of the greatest violin concertos ever written. Although Sibelius began with piano as a child, it was the violin that sparked his enthusiasm for music. Once composition piqued his interest, his violin playing did not keep pace. Nevertheless, his Violin Concerto is a prime example of his compositional genius and is known for its technical challenges. On November 13, Marc Djokic will dig-in for this concerto which blends technical brilliance with an impressive symphonic line.

Djokic has been praised by La Presse for his “rhythmic sense and

KENNY ROGERS

Tribute to Kenny Rogers

By Jill Goward Marty Edwards and The Revival are ready to entertain us! All signs of jet lag will be gone by Saturday night when Notch Hill Town Hall hosts their excellent double concert.

Marty and this professional fivepiece band have just returned from a successful, sold-out, twenty-fiveshow tour of Australia.

World famous for his ‘Kinda Kenny” performance, Marty is endorsed by Rogers himself, and with The Revival band they will be bringing so much fun and talent, proving that the music of the 60’s and 70’s is very much alive and well. When we hum a tune that seems to run through our veins, it’s probably one from that era – older, well written, tried and true tune of the likes of Kenny, Tom Jones, The

He has been critically acclaimed for his spot-on accuracy. Sibelius is one of Djokic’s favourite composers.

“I feel especially drawn to his works as my father and first violin teacher, Philippe Djokic, won the Sibelius Violin Competition in Helsinki in 1977.”

Djokic will be performing this concerto on his newly acquired 1922 Fagnola violin.

Sibelius takes place November 13, 7:30 p.m. at the Salmon Arm Recreation Centre. Tickets can be purchased from Kamloops Live! Box Office at 1-866-374-5483 or www. kamloopslive.ca, at Wearabouts (350 Alexander St NE), or at the door.

How to pick paint colours

This is a test. Yup, a test – just like the ones you had in school. It’s a simple one-page, ten-step test which, if you pass – and you will if you just follow directions – will get the right paint colour.

You need a pen and a black Sharpie and this test ripped out of the newspaper. Read through steps one to nine before you actually do anything, then read step 10 and do what it says. DONT SKIP AHEAD AND SPOIL EVERYTHING. Directions for choosing a paint colour: 1. Just pick a colour you love and consider that one for your room. You don’t have to consider the furniture, carpet, art or even the direction the windows face; pick a colour you love.

2. Disregard the undertones in your flooring or other hard surfaces such as the fireplace, countertop or bathroom fixtures.

3. Believe that all your possessions – gathered over the years – will look fine no matter what colour you choose. It will work, right? After all, there is every colour in the rainbow represented here.

4. Ask all your friends for their ideas. Most of them will have a

#UsedHelps

definite idea of what colour you should use but don’t be surprised if it’s the same colour as they have in their home.

5. Ignore the colour of your window trim. It doesn’t really make any difference to the paint colours in the room.

6. Go to the paint store and pick up at least 10 paint chip strips and lay them on the table and pick the one you like the most.

7. Paint a 14 x 14-inch square on the wall of each colour, putting them close together so you can stand back and see all of your choices at once.

8. Disregard your lifestyle, or your family’s. Paint colour has nothing to do with lifestyle.

9. Forget about hiring a professional. What do they know that you don’t? It’s your house, after all.

10. Go back to direction number one and, using the pen, write, “Don’t” at the beginning of the first sentence. Take the Sharpie and blackout the remaining sentences in that step and repeat for each step.

Reread. Commit to memory.

Feed Enderby and District Food Bank readies for first hampers The restructuring of Enderby’s food bank is well underway with a new board of directors and the goal of continuing this very important community program.

“A monthly food hamper program is crucial to the health of our community,” says Feed Enderby & District Food Bank (FED) chair Scott Hemenway. “We are determined to have a food bank that effectively meets Enderby’s needs.

FED was created after the Vernon Salvation Army withdrew its financial and staff support due to its own structural and financial challenges and Enderby’s growing deficit for bills and food.

“Without the Salvation Army aboard, Enderby has to find other ways to keep our cupboards full and hampers going out the door every month,” notes Hemenway.

The food bank currently has sufficient stocks to carry on with the November 20 food bank and the annual Realtors Food

Drive in early December helps fill Christmas hampers distributed December 18.

“After that we will be looking at empty cupboards and very little money in the bank,” he says. “But we are working to change that.”

FED is being operated under the umbrella of the Food Action Committee for Today & Tomorrow (FACT), which currently runs as part of the Enderby and District Community Resource Centre (EDCRC) to address issues around food insecurity.

FED is currently in the process of registering with Food Banks BC and FACT will apply to be a charitable society in the new year. (Once it has charitable status, FACT will be the umbrella for all community food security programs and initiatives.)

“Being part of Food Banks BC will give Enderby access to its national food

sharing system and that will be extremely helpful,” says Hemenway. “But we will need help get us through what we expect to be a lean period.”

The group is voicing the need for monetary and food donations and requesting that other community groups offering food hamper programs join their resources with FED. “We want to be effective in how we deliver this important service and how we use community resources, so we would like to see all the different groups doing hampers to come together and do it at FED.” The Enderby Evangelical Chapel provides an average of three to four food hampers each week to people in need through the Vernon non-profit, Neighbour Link. The chapel is discontinuing its food hampers and providing FED with $800.

SPCA celebrates major milestone

The BC SPCA is excited to announce that the organization is set to adopt its one millionth animal later this month. In celebration, anyone who has adopted animals from the BC SPCA over the past six decades are invited to post photos of themselves with their adopted pet (or a picture of the pet on its own) on the BC SPCA Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ bcspca). Posting a photo will automatically enter you to win a new iPad Air, generously donated by TELUS, and using the hashtag #oneinamillion shows you’re a proud BC SPCA adoptive parent, whether past or present.

Everyone is invited to visit the Facebook photo gallery to view pictures of adopters and adoptees – what the organization is playfully referring to as BC SPCA alumni – over the past 60-odd years.

“This is the BC SPCA’s 120th year in operation but the society didn’t start its adoption program until the 1950s when it began building animal shelters across the province,” says general manager of Community Relations, Lorie Chortyk. “We are very excited that we will be adopt-

is also being phased out after Nov. 3 and any leftover food and funds will be transferred to FED. FED is currently creating its policies and procedures manual and wants to increase awareness about the need for donations and that the food bank is still operating in Enderby at St. Andrew’s United Church.

Food bank volunteers begin intake interviews for Christmas hampers Nov. 27 (people can call 250-838-7315 for an intake appointment).

“I think this is a huge opportunity,” says Enderby Mayor Greg McCune, who has offered warehouse space at Sutherland’s Bakery to FED. “I really think our community will rally and make this a huge success.”

Tax receipts for donations to FED are being issued by the EDCRC. Food donations can be dropped off at St. Andrew’s United Church.

While this celebration is in recognition of past adoptees, there are hundreds more beautiful animals awaiting adoption in the province right now.

With more than 28,000 ani-

mals taken into BC SPCA care each year, there are always furry friends waiting for their forever homes.

To enter the #oneinamillion photo contest, simply go to the BC SPCA Facebook page from Nov. 3-20 and click on the ‘photo contest’ tab near the top. Follow the steps to upload a picture of the animal you adopted from the BC SPCA or better yet, of you and the animal you adopted.

• SCF will match donations dollar for dollar, provided certain conditions are met.

Notch Hill remembers its veterans

Notch Hill Cemetery is located on Hilltop Road, in Notch Hill/Sorrento. It has a unique and interesting history.

The land was donated by pioneer homesteader John McIntyre in the 1890s and the earliest recorded burial is 1899. It is still being used for burials and cremations and has undergone considerable restoration in the last six years.

There are four First World War veterans and eleven Second World War veterans, that are resting in Notch Hill Cemetery. These individuals served their country, survived, came back to Canada and lived out their lives in various provinces. Their occupations ranged from railroad engineers, postmasters, truck drivers, farmers, store merchants and businessmen. They passed away after contributing to their communities and are buried in Notch Hill Cemetery.

One serviceman served in both WWI and WWII. Each veteran’s grave has a wreath of poppies, their name and area of service: Army, Navy, Air Force or Merchant Marine.

At the main entrance gate to the cemetery, there is a poem, “In Flanders Fields,” written by John McCrae, as a tribute to veterans who served their country in wartime.

There is also a list of all 15 veterans buried in Notch Hill Cemetery:

Poppies are in remembrance

By Harry Welton The Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 62, Salmon Arm) is once again going full speed ahead with its annual Poppy Campaign, Veteran’s Week and the annual Remembrance Day service.

The Royal Canadian Legion is responsible for all Remembrance Day Services in Canada including the National Service at the War Memorial in Ottawa. The local poppy campaign kicked off with the presentation of a poppy to the Mayor at City Hall on Friday, Oct. 30.

Poppies are available at local businesses and will be available until Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, when a service will take place at the cenotaph, followed by a celebration of remembrance at the Legion.

The Poppy Campaign is one of the Royal Canadian Legion’s most important programs and is the only national appeal the Legion makes for funds. All of the funds collected are returned to the community and support needy veterans, local charities, youth organizations, and numerous other worthwhile causes. In 2014, 18 million

poppies, as well as 70,000 wreaths, crosses and sprays were distributed in Canada.

This campaign is called The PoppyRemembrance Campaign and I put the emphasis on Remembrance.

Numbers are easy to give, but remember that well over 100,000 young Canadians gave their lives so you can enjoy the freedom you have today.

My remembrance came from an uncle who was wounded in action during WW11 and spent most of his life in a wheelchair.

SPORTS & LEISURE Selkirks’ new season off to strong start so warmly welcomed by a new community. It’s made the move to Salmon Arm much easier. Every day, the swimmers have been great to coach,” says Healey.

“The entire team wants to improve, and the athletes work hard each day. I could not ask for any more. Their attitude and effort is super, they raced super well both in Penticton and Revelstoke and the team and the swimmers were very happy with the results. They will now move on to the next meet in Vernon where they will swim some different events, encounter some other challenges and pursue different goals.”

One of the main goals of the

club is to grow the membership in both the Age-Group Program and the Masters Team. To bolster numbers and encourage younger swimmers to join the club, the age group club has started the “Swim BC I Can Swim Program,” which is the national swimming program for skills development.

The first session has started and was full in just a couple of days of opening paces. The masters is growing every session and now has about 40 members which range from adults who simply want to get fit to Triathletes, open water competitors and competitive masters swimmers. The Masters group has sessions both in the evening and early morning.

The Selkirks Swimming Club started the new 2015-2016 season in record breaking form.

The team took a small team of 12 members down to compete in the Triple Pentathlon in Penticton in October. A Pentathlon is not like a normal swimming event or meet, where swimmers are normally limited to only competing in 5-6 events of the competition. In the Pentathlon, the swimmers have the choice to compete in some or all 15 events over the 3 days. It’s a demanding challenge for those that choose to compete in all 15 events. To win the high points a swimmer must compete in all 15 events.

The results for the team were nothing short of amazing, having only started training the second week of September. The small group competed with intensity each day and was well- rewarded for their hard work and skills.

During the three-day event, members of the team broke 45 club records and 68 personal best times were set.

Breaking club records were: Thomas Flahr (age 17); Molly Fogarty (age 13); Lauran GridleyHaack (age 12); Claire Hall (age 15); Chantel Jeffery (age 14); and Ethan Skofteby (age 12).

During the weekend, Chantel Jeffery and Ethan Skofteby won 20 events between them and with a very impressive overall weekend of swimming, they both came away winning the High Point Trophies.

The whole team swam very well in this first and very high standard meet, where over 250 swimmers from the region participated. Also producing very fast times and personal best swims were: Ty Webster-Locke (age 16); Torrey McKee (age 16); Ethan Quilty (age 16); Olin Mosher (age 16); and Matthew Nesdoly (age 16). These athletes contributed valuable points for the club in the team rankings.

The team also received great news that, at the Regional Championships in Revelstoke, the following swimmers qualified for the Provincial High School Championships to held in Kamloops in November. At the Regional Championships, Salmon Arm Secondary placed third overall and Kings Christian placed seventh out of twenty high schools taking part. Selkirk swimmers that qualified are: Ty Webster-Locke, Torrey McKee, Ethan Quilty (pictured), Olin Mosher, Matthew Nesdoly, Chantelle Jeffery, Molly Fogarty, and Claire Hall.

New Head Swimming Coach, Barry Healey, who took the post in September has been really impressed with the swimmers, the club and the support for the program from the community.

Funding supports those with brain injuries

A brain injury can happen in a moment and change a life forever.

But those suffering in the North Okanagan/Shuswap are being supported with $33,371 to help pay for an outreach worker.

The North Okanagan Brain Injury Society is one of 14 organizations funds were recently dispersed to.

The funds are part of $3 million to the Brain Injury Alliance, announced earlier this year by Minister of Health Terry Lake.

“Brain injury has the ability to shatter lives,” said Lake in his earlier announcement. “Left untreated, it can lead to issues that affect the whole community, which is why the funding provided to the Brain Injury Alliance is so important to make sure help goes to those who need it.”

The Brain Injury Alliance is a registered B.C. non-profit society that supports brain-injury service providers throughout B.C. The alliance will distribute the funding to organizations in the province that run programs and services to help reduce the incidence of injury or directly help those affected by brain injuries.

“This investment will touch a

Greg Kyllo (from left), Shuswap MLA; Carlene Duczek, North Okanagan Shuswap Brain Injurity Society president; Robyn Coatta, NOSBIS executive director and Jeanette Meikle, NOSBIS case coordinator. lot of lives,” said John Simpson, Brain Injury Alliance board member. “We are grateful to the

province of B.C. for supporting our work and helping service providers across the province to

continue making a difference in their communities.”

The alliance distributed fund-

ing to organizations in two stages. In the first stage, $10,000 went to each of B.C.’s 16 community-based, non-profit brain-injury service providers to help with operational costs.

In the second stage, brain-injury organizations in B.C. received funding based on applications.

Successful applicants could use the funding for a variety of programs including building or strengthening services like courses in financial skills, emotional management, injury prevention, and community brain-injury education and awareness.

Other specialized programs might include art therapy, dropin social groups, or services that help brain-injury survivors care for their pets.

In 2014, the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, Canada’s largest integrated brain centre, opened in Vancouver. Scientists and healthcare professionals at the centre help pioneer new treatments, prevention and rehabilitation strategies for brain diseases and injuries, and deliver those solutions to the people who need them. The provincial government provided $28.24 million to support development of this facility.

Cracked cake, drywall dust and more

Dear Reena, I made a chocolate rolled cake that cracked when I unrolled it to add the filling. Is there a way to prevent the cake from falling apart?

Thanks, Danielle Dear Danielle, Here are a few tips: Avoid overbaking the cake. Roll the cake with parchment paper (or a tea towel sprinkled with icing sugar) immediately after removing it from the oven. If the cake cools, the chance of cracks increases. Cool the cake in the fridge for several hours or overnight. Gently unroll the cake and add filling. If the cake happens to crack, cover with icing, whipped cream, toasted almonds or icing sugar.

Dear Reena, When we moved into our house, there had been a lot of renovation work done and unfortunately the individuals who did those renovations failed to properly cover vents and flooring, meaning drywall dust was caked on all the new laminate floors, some of the cupboards and the closets. It’s nasty stuff and it is everywhere! We’ve tried

Solutions&Substitutions

By Reena Nerbas

cleaning it off the kitchen floors but nothing seems to cut through it – we still have a dim look to the flooring and it still feels grimy. Any suggestions? As well, do you have any tips on how to keep the floor from marking as soon as we step on it? We can see our footprints, water droplets, anything that touches the flooring, in nice little patterns all over my kitchen. Thanks so much! Alicia Dear Alicia, Make a solution of 50/50 white vinegar and water. Add a few drops of dish soap (or cheap shampoo) to the mix. Wash the floors with a good quality microfibre mop and dry with a towel. The walls can be washed in the same way. This recipe is wonderful but there are also commercial laminate cleaners that can be purchased from home hardware stores. Keep in mind that some types of laminate flooring mark a lot easier than others.

Depending on the texture, finish, colour of

laminate and the direction of the boards, there may be nothing that you can do to remove water drop stains other than clean them each time they occur.

Dear Reena, Do you have an effective way to spray clean chandeliers without using commercial preparations?

Thanks, Izzy Dear Izzy, Here is a solution to clean a chandelier without scrubbing or polishing each piece.

Begin by covering the floor with newspaper or hang an open umbrella under the chandelier. Into an empty spray bottle combine: 1 tsp. (5 mL) rubbing alcohol, 4 cups (1 L) hot water and 2 tbsp. (30 mL) dishwasher anti spot agent i.e. Jet Dry. While the chandelier

is off; spray the unit and let the liquid drip dry onto the umbrella or newspaper. Recycle newspaper or rinse umbrella in the bathtub.

Feedback from smart readers Re: Coating of aphid excrement on vehicle I found that magic eraser worked well without damaging the finish. I carry one to the car wash as it’s better than the sud broom there. Shauna Re: Fruit flies Canadian Tire puts out a product called TARRO, which is a small round fruit fly trap, the size of a small peach. It comes with a non-toxic liquid which you add to it. The fruit flies are immediately drawn to it. It’s see through and only $7.99. Sure works for me without any hassle! Marge Homemade dishwasher detergent Here is a recipe for powerful homemade dishwasher detergent

and boy does it save me money! Into a clean and dry bucket combine: 1 cup borax, 1 cup washing soda, half cup table salt and 5 packages Kool-Aid (any flavour). Use 1-2 tbsp. per load. Close bucket lid after each use. Submitted by

Some may wonder why this small flower is used to represent the fallen soldier.

Poppies and fallen soldiers have a long history together. The origins of the flower can be traced back to the Napoleonic wars in France. During these times of unrest and battle, many soldiers went on to final resting places in graves in Flanders, France. Ensuing literature describing how poppies grew so thickly and vibrantly over these grave - in soil that once could not produce much vegetation. Years later, a soldier would be instrumental in bringing the symbol of the poppy to the hearts and minds of Canadians.

When John McCrae served in World War I as a Lieutenant-Colonel, he was stationed near Ypres, Belgium, the area traditionally called Flanders.

McCrae observed how poppies grew so well among the makeshift graves of the soldiers, which were marked by wooden crosses. When McCrae lost a fellow soldier and close friend, he penned a poem called “In Flanders Fields,” and portrayed the picture of war and the poppy flower visual.

“In Flanders Fields” In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

We salute veterans for their dedication & bravery.

In 1961, Steve McInnis was 18 years old and knew what he wanted to do with his life. More particularly, he knew what he didn’t want.

He didn’t want to study anymore, and he didn’t want to work for the telephone company like the rest of his family. His dream was to do something different. He had decided to join either the police force or the military. Back in the day, his 112 lbs excluded him from joining the police so he went to the recruiting office.

“They said I couldn’t go infantry, I was too small, so they put me in the signals division which meant I was doing the same stuff my family was doing; and when you’re in the military, you're always on course or teaching. You are never out of school,” says Steve, laughing.

Steve started his basic training in Edmonton and then went to Albert Head, near Victoria and then to Kingston, Ontario.

He learned everything from shining shoes and making beds to marching, shooting, first aid, and morse code.

“They take away your individuality and make you a team player,” he says of basic training. They demand perfection on every job, even the most basic tasks.

“If they didn’t like the way your bed was made we had to take the beds outside and do it. At 6 o’clock at night we all had to take our beds outside on the show parade and make them.”

His first posting was at Jericho Beach in Vancouver. Canada was not at war in the 1960s, but the Cold War, with its threat of atomic warfare, was ever present from 1945 through the 1980s.

“I was at the PWC – the Provincial Warning Centre – they would track atomic bursts, where the cloud would go. I would go on shift and Smokey Smith was on the other,” he says, referring to the Canadian war hero who received the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face the enemy awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

Steve was then posted to Nanaimo where the Provincial Government had constructed a bunker to house the major elements of the government in case of a nuclear war. After a stint in Victoria, Steve was posted to Soest, Germany. Soon after his posting there he wrote to his girlfriend, Marg, asking her to marry him. They married and had their first child there.

After four years in Germany he was posted to Petawawa, Ontario where he was promoted to Corporal.

“I was the brigade commander’s driver/operator for General Radley-Walters. He was given the Military Cross and decorated by the King. His tanks went the furthest on D-Day. I learned more about commanding from him than anyone else. We had a lot of conversations.”

Steve was posted back to Germany, this time in Lahr and then to Calgary. From there he would do three United Nations tours, the first one in Egypt. The first weekend after he arrived, he went out with some buddies. They saw belly dancers and he watched some gambling where $1000 bills were placed as bets.

“On Monday morning I got a call from the troop warrant officer, he said, ‘It didn’t take you long to get into trouble. Get over here for 1 o’clock.’”

As he was standing there the officer’s manner and words got him so tense he was shaking but he couldn’t figure out exactly why he was in trouble.

Then he heard: “Congratulations, Master Corporal.’”

He was given a promotion, but not without a little army humour. After his promotion he was loaned to the Finnish detachment and was stationed in the Sinai Peninsula. The Finnish detachment was there to monitor the armistice between the Egyptians and Israelis. Tensions were extremely high between the two countries but there was no escalation. Years later (1988), Steve would be awarded, along with the Finns who were posted there at the time, the Nobel Peace Prize.

In 1981 Steve went to Cyprus for another peacekeeping duty.

While he was there, Marg was supposed to come for a visit, but he had difficulty getting her all the necessary passes. As it so happened, he was friendly with one of the Danish majors and

Canadian veterans, our heroes mentioned his problem.

“He said, ‘Come with me. Do you happen to have a picture of your wife?’ I handed it to him and he said, ‘Do you think Marg would mind becoming a Danish citizen?’ I said, ‘I think she would be honoured.’ He got her a Danish ID card and said, ‘She is now a Danish citizen.’”

It worked, and Marg came to visit with her Danish pass.

Steve was posted back to Calgary but before long he was sent to Kingston for more trades training. He was promoted to Sergeant and went to the Golan Heights. Here he was in charge of communications not only at headquarters, but also the other detachments.

“I went across one time and a Syrian pointed an AK-47 right at my head.”

He wasn’t worried because he knew the Syrian realized if he shot him, he would be shot himself. But the Syrians in general were friendly, and at Christmas, sent presents to every single peacekeeper.

Back in Canada for a few years, Steve worked a lot of mobile radio detachments and was posted back to Germany in 1989.

When he was there the Canadians got a call from the Ministry of Defense in France. Their radio communication with the Americans weren’t working and no one, not even their experts, could figure out the problem. Steve was asked to look into it.

“I had never worked with the system – it took me all day to figure it out. The problem was in the new American interface box.”

Steve told them how to fix it but it took him a while to convince them. In the end, he was right.

“I was trained by some of the best techs,” he says modestly.

But he is clearly proud of the Canadian reputation of being the best-trained military force in the world. His scrapbook is full to overflowing with course completion certificates.

His final posting was in 22 Wing North Bay, Ontario where he was assigned with North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) modernization. He spent a total of 37 years in the military. It was a life of constantly uprooting his family, missing Christmas celebrations with them, taking courses and working communications which he had vowed not

to do. But he wouldn’t have changed anything.

“I think the biggest thing is the honour of serving your country and being an ambassador in a way.”

On November 11 Steve will be at the Enderby cenotaph for Remembrance Day ceremonies.

“It’s important to remember the people who gave their lives to give us the freedom we have. Canada is the best place to live and these folks have done so much for us.”

Everett “Tony” Anthony Turpin June 23, 1938 – October 29, 2015

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather after a lengthy illness at Bastion Place in his sleep.

He leaves behind his loving wife Dianne and stepchildren Gord, Tami, Ron, and Monti, grandchildren that will miss him terribly, Colton, Katie, Shayna, Shawn, Tristan and Chris, his four children, Misty, Steven, Tammy, and Cindy and many grandchildren and great grandchildren all from the United States. His many friends around town will also miss him and his “stories” I am sure.

There will be a celebration of his life in the spring or early summer of 2016, in the hopes that family may be able to come. Date to be announced at a later time.

Tony served in the Navy (Canadian) for 28 years and worked at Corrections Canada for over 20 years. He was also Santa Claus in Centenoka Mall for five years and loved it.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm, (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Tony’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

Hugh Thomas (Tom) Abernethy It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Tom Abernethy at Salmon Arm, BC on October 24, 2015.

Tom was born in Vancouver, BC on December 30, 1936 to Gladys (Hardman) and Earle Abernethy and raised in Abbotsford. He worked for Abbotsford Bakery and later McGavin’s Bakery in Langley. A true country boy, Tom’s retirement years were spent in a log home on land that he loved at Gardom Lake near Salmon Arm. A man of few words but deep emotions, Tom’s family and friends could count on his thoughtful wisdom when advice was sought and his skillful hands when there was a job to be done. He believed that life should be lived simply and that nothing should be wasted. In today’s “throw-away” world, Tom was the ultimate conservator.

Tom was predeceased by his parents and his sister, Jessie. Devastated by his loss are his loving family: wife Carol, step-daughter Christel D’Aoust (Angie), sister Adele Friend (Bill), nephews Michael DesMazes and Jay DesMazes (Bonita). Many other relatives and countless friends will be saddened at his passing.

No service by request. Private family burial at Hazelwood Cemetery, Abbotsford, BC. Online condolences may be sent through Tom’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Joseph Verdurmen Born: June 15, 1926 in Ossenisse, the Netherlands Deceased: November 2, 2015 (1:35 pm) in Salmon Arm, BC Our family gathered today in room 34 of Hillside Village Care Facility to be with our: father, opa, and husband as he took his last peaceful breaths. Our time together allowed us to reflect on the way he had lived and how he has given us all his unconditional love and support to carry on.

Joseph Peter Verdurmen was born on June 15, 1926 just behind a dyke on the Scheldt Estuary between the North Sea and the Port of Antwerp. Joe’s father, Alphonse, was a farmer and draft horse breeder.

Joe’s mother, Maria (nee Serrarens), gave birth to 2 more children namely, George and Marieke.

She lovingly raised the 3 children on their traditional Flemish farm near the sea.

Joe was a great storyteller and his hometown of Ossenisse and its characters provided most of his material. He described his upbringing as being in an almost medieval society which reluctantly and only very slowly accepted: automobiles, telephones, and the modern world. Joe was barely in school when his mother died in childbirth and he was only 10 when his father died of Tuberculosis. Yet, it would be hard to call Joe an “orphan” as the 3 little children were warmly taken in by his Tante Tille and the Boonman family. She raised them like her very own while she, herself, had 9 more children. This then was Joe’s “Dutch” family and the source from which he draws his fondest memories of: skating on canals, playing soccer, and the arrival of St. Nicholas on a Steamboat in the village of Rilland-Bath.

The Netherlands were violently invaded and occupied by Nazi Germany in May, 1940. Joe was in high school and could have adapted to a risk free existence under the imposed regime but he chose to join the Dutch Resistance instead. The stories he told were unnerving. He described the retrieval of allied airmen and the couriering of stolen Luftwaffe documents. He told us how his heart stopped as his school bag was searched by Gestapo agents on the train. The heavy thumb of the agent went through the pages of the school atlas between which those secret documents were hidden. Joe dodged death early and often in his life. He did not believe he was lucky, only that he had had a good guardian angel.

When the Canadians liberated Holland and Joe met the soldiers from afar, he decided to immigrate as soon as possible. He booked his voyage aboard the Liberty Ship Franconia in 1952 and docked in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Joe travelled colonial class to Bird’s Hill in southern Manitoba where he worked for his farmer sponsor Jack Verbrugge.

He experienced his first harsh winter without complaint all the while developing a deep love for his new country and its people.

He worked at the slaughter house for Canada Packers and then spent 10 years in Lynn Lake, Manitoba in the gold and silver mines before going to receive his B.A. and Teaching Degree at the University of Manitoba. In 1961, Joe met his wife, Theresa (nee Van der Zweep) who had also immigrated to Canada with her large Dutch family.

The couple was soon married and as Joe moved about Manitoba teaching high school, 3 of their 4 children were born: Marie (1962); Glenn (1964) and Ivan (1966). On a camping trip the natural beauty of BC beckoned the family west. Fully intending on teaching in Victoria, a casual stop at the school board office in Salmon Arm resulted in a position being offered and accepted.

Unconventional by nature, the economy of using an old grain truck to move resulted in a catastrophic mechanical break of the railhead in Moosomin, Saskatchewan. The household boxes were loaded on the train and were offloaded in Salmon Arm - Joe had brought his family home!

The last of Joe and Theresa’s children, Astrid, was born in

1969 and in 1970 the family purchased: bush, barn, house, and cherry orchards at 6350 Lakeshore Road. Joe taught French, German, and photography for many years at J.L. Jackson and then went on to be a substitute teacher. He made every personal sacrifice for the success of his family. He loved farming though his fences were poor and timing for haying was often wrong.

He dabbled and experimented in many things and in many areas where he would have been well served to hire professionals.

Joe loved people. He was warm to every person and student he met. He always had time to listen. As a photographer, he rarely photographed landscapes as he wanted people in his photos. He always claimed that the most interesting subject was the human face.

Joe became a Canadian citizen quickly and loved his new country. He loved the freedoms we have and the opportunities of the “new land” yet he still had fond memories of Zeeland where he was born. He was very happy to visit his brother and sister, the Boonman family, and the Neves.

Joe was nostalgic by nature and enjoyed roaming the medieval walls of the city of Hulst where Marieke and George lived. He ate patates frites with mayonnaise and apple beignets whenever possible. The past meant a great deal to him.

Joe had a generous and hospitable nature. He loved having guests from Holland and Canada. He brought out wheels of Gouda, shook the prune trees bare and emptied freezers to make sure everyone ate well for that was the Flemish way. He enjoyed all the visits from the Neves, Bookman’s and finally after 50 years the 2 visits by his brother and sister.

Joe lived a quiet life on his farm where he read history books, raised a few beef cattle, and waited for the blossoms on his next cherry crop. He loved his wife, Theresa, dearly and they had a good life together. He did not look for perfection and would seek beauty in the simplest of God’s creations. He never gardened in a square but planted daffodils here and there along his paths.

As a father he was always there for us. No cause for his children was ever hopeless. He stood by us in our darkest and happiest hours. We all remember the Salmon Arm Greyhound bus station because no matter the time or weather of our departure or arrival, there always stood his solitary figure in his parka and hat.

The last years have not been kind to Joe; the forgetting, the anxiety, and the confusion. We were devastated as he lost most of the functions of his body and as well as his communication skills; yet people told us that this man had an unusual dignity and poise in spite of it all. Care aides told us that they had not known Joe before but sense that he was a wise and kind soul. We realize that Joe could not stay longer for our needs and that the time has come to let him wander along his path towards the daffodils.

We remain: His wife, Theresa; His daughter, Maria (Michael) and granddaughter Patricia; His son Glenn, grandson Jack, and granddaughter Kate; His son Ivan (Martine), granddaughter Dominique, and grandson Alexi; His daughter Astrid (Peter) and granddaughter Hanna; His brother George; and His sister Marieke.

A Memorial Mass will be held on Saturday November 7, 2015 at 10:30 am at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church (90 - 1st Street SE, Salmon Arm) with Father George LaGrange officiating. A time of fellowship and refreshments will follow the service in the Parish hall.

Online condolences may be sent through Joe’s obituary at www.bowersfuenralservice.com

GEMINI

Home may feel like a personal retreat after the last few weeks you have been experiencing, Gemini. If you need rest, take it. It’s not a sign of slacking off.
