Chiropractic and blood pressure

I personally have had a number of patients over my 18 years in practice who have reported a reduction in high blood pressure following a series of chiropractic adjustments, and many of my colleagues have also reported similar results. It is known that spinal adjustments create a calming effect

on the nervous system, which in turn directly controls the cardiovascular system. It’s all about proper nervous system function. Let me explain.

There are two opposite functioning parts in the nervous system called the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and recover). An anal-

Why Do We Do Consultations?

When considering medical spa treatments of any kind, it can be far too easy to just believe the hype and jump straight into booking the treatment. But it’s important to remember that these treatments and procedures are not always as simple or straightforward as “regular” spa treatments. Once you have done your research, there is something else you can do before having your treatment. Have a consultation with the facility and professionals you are considering. Here at Chadalin Medi-Spa, our consultations are always complimentary; you should be wary of any place that doesn’t offer this kind of service. Consultations are very important. Even the most diligent of research can leave you with questions, and getting those questions answered before you decide on treatment is important, even vital.

Remember that medical spa treatments often involve high-tech tools such as lasers (for skin rejuvenation, hair removal, etc.) as well as injectable agents (like Botox and dermal fillers) and services that treat your veins (spider vein removal). So it’s important to talk to a professional to get an overview that you might not be aware of, and also to know for sure that the procedure you are considering is right for you.

Every procedure isn’t right for every person. There are many factors; medication, skin tone, previous treatments, budget and more, that must be taken into consideration before performing medical spa treatments. Sometimes, the consumer isn’t the best person to figure that out, and that is why our professionals are here.

During your consultation, we will carefully go over the steps and details of whatever you are considering having done. We will discuss precautions, if any, and the results you can realistically expect, which may be different than what you thought.

We will answer all of your questions and help alleviate any concerns you may have.

But most of all, we will make sure that your treatment is right for you. And if it isn’t, we will help you find an alternative. It’s all about information and trust.

We want you to have only the best experience here at our medical spa.

Call us @ 250.803.8717 today to learn more.

ogy to help explain these two aspects of the nervous system is, one can think of the sympathetic half as the “gas pedal” of your body. All stresses around us stimulate the sympathetic system, causing your body to step on the gas. This stimulation increases blood pressure and heart rate, sends blood away from the digestive system to supply extra to the large muscles, breathing increases, and stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenalin flood the blood to stimulate the body. The gas pedal is the perfect physiological response to stress, but it is designed to be

fast-acting and shortlived. The problem in today’s society is our body and health will begin to fail when it is perpetually maxed out.

The opposite to this “gas pedal” is the parasympathetic part of the nervous system, which can be thought of as the “brake pedal.”

When we are away from stress and out of fight or flight response (gas pedal), the body then can rest and relax, which is essential to heal, digest, and recover. When we apply the brakes to the nervous system digestion improves, immunity is strengthened, breath-

ing settles, and blood pressure calms.

Adjustments may help blood pressure stabilize because when proper movement in the spine is restored, the thousands of motion sensors especially concentrated in the joints of the spine begin sending the correct signals to the upper levels of the brain. Through modern brain research, it is now known that restoring this input of movement information (also called proprioception), shifts the body away from the gas pedal reaction to apply the brakes and calm the body. Wellness chiropractors look at the body as a whole. It is our objective to remove subluxation (nervous system interference caused by stress) via chiropractic adjustments. When subluxation is regularly removed it allows the body to function at “optimal” health, healing is restored, and recovery begins.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor who can help your body apply the brakes to your nervous system and can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

Conversation advocate silenced

President of Shuswap Settlement Services, Bernie Desrosiers, is struggling to communicate at the same time he is working to launch a second round of community conversations in the Shuswap. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease nine years ago, Desrosiers underwent brain surgery in April of this year to reduce or eliminate debilitating tremors associated with the disease. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) inserts electrodes in the patient’s brain connected to a stimulator. The current, from the stimulators intercept and scramble brain waves that cause the tremors. In his case, while the implant succeeded in reducing tremors, it also served to disrupt Desrosiers’ speech.

His speech can now be laboured and often undecipherable.

Community Conversations, first organized last year, invites residents to commit to attend a one-hour conversational gathering once a month for five months. Conversations are structured in keeping with the design set out by Cincinnati community activist, Peter Block, in his book Community: The Structure of Belonging. Community conversations strengthen community by enabling and enlarging participant’s circle of community contacts. In the process, says Block, participants envision the community of which they aspire to be a part, and to publicly

commit the gifts and talents they are willing to bring to the task. By articulating our individual and communal stories, we are prompted to behave in ways that conform to our story. By focusing on who we are rather than who we were, conversations avoid the tendency to point fingers and apportion blame.

Desrosiers says that the effort now required to communicate leaves him more appreciative of the plight of new Canadians who struggle every day to make themselves understood. “I can tell when listeners tire of trying to make sense of my jibber and conclude it less frustrating for us both to simply pretend to communicate. I, now, have a heightened appreciation of the important role of good listeners.” Whereas, at one time, he would have said that, if we wish to include engage residents normally marginalized, we simply need to invite them to join in. Now, he sees the personal invitation as only the first step to inclusion.

The more challenging step is taking the time and to make the effort to hear what the marginalized have to say.

Assisted by a grant from WelcomeBC, Shuswap Settlement Services hosted an interfaith symposium in March 2013 and followed up with conversation workshops, facilitated by Charles Holmes, in March of 2014 and again in

March of 2015. A protocol for responding to incidences of racism and hate were drafted and endorsed by municipal councils throughout the Shuswap in the spring of 2013. As well, interested organizations and businesses can now access, for free, the staff and volunteer response training required to become a designated community Safe Harbour. SASCU is currently undertaking to do so in all its Shuswap outlets. Community conversations provide one more effective and inexpensive tool for building an inclusive, progressive community.

Participants are divided into groups of four to five before reporting back to the larger gathering.

Desrosiers is conscious of a growing tendency, on his part, to avoid situations that require him to speak.

“However, listening alone is not conversation.” The loss of one’s ability to communicate verbally restricts one’s ability to deploy other gifts one might previously have committed to the cause. Desrosiers is looking for others, with a passion for strengthening community and able to communicate effectively to step up and lead.

The first community conversation will take place at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 15th at Deo Lutheran Church in Salmon Arm. Subsequent gatherings will be slated, in accordance with feedback received during this initial conversation, at times and places conducive to the participation of the greatest number of participants.

There is no fee required to participate.

Registration is available at the door or by emailing someroses@shaw.ca.

Looking back through history: SALMON ARM NEEDS AN ADVERTISING BROCHURE It was 1974 and tourists were coming to the Shuswap for a summer vacation, but having no information on businesses or the town. I was a part-time nurse in Armstrong and worked part-time with Jim in the laundromat-dry-cleaner-carwash, but I wanted to get into information funded by advertising for tourists. If successful, it would prove that I could start a newspaper.

Merit Press Ltd. in Vernon listened to my idea of producing a one-page flyer folded in three, with Salmon Arm advertisers and information about Salmon Arm. I was advised on cost: $35 for each.

THE FACE OF THE BROCHURE WAS INTERESTING In my hand I had a folded piece of paper in three, so it would fit in a business envelope. The front page stated SALMON ARM, GEM OF THE SHUSWAP. The top had a picture I had taken of the town, lake and mountains.

The bottom had a map I had drawn of the downtown. It showed the lake, the CPR tracks, the advertisers on downtown streets, the Trans Canada Highway, and the museum and tourist bureau across from the cenotaph, in what is now a lawyer’s office.

THE TEN ADVERTISERS IN THE BROCHURE In 1975, business owners had never experienced a woman calling on them to support her tourist brochure with an ad. These were the ads: The Linen Chest, with gifts from four corners of the world. Stedmans junior department store. Marshall Wells with camping and fishing headquarters besides hardware and toys. Salmon Arm Flower & Music Centre owned by Bert, Loretta and Karen Robinson. Harold’s Texaco Service with complete mechanical repair Shuswap Realty Ltd. and Shuswap Appraisal Service. Collier’s Super Value, also called Mellor’s Food Market. Cran’s Boarding Kennels for dogs and cats. And ads from the two businesses that produced the Shoppers’ Guide flyer in 1975 the following year: Salmon Arm Stationery & Office Supplies, and Salmon Arm Laundromat LOCAL INFORMATION BETWEEN ADVERTISEMENTS Swim at the public beach in Canoe, 5 miles east, at Gleneden Beach, 5 miles west, or in heated Fletcher Pool in Salmon Arm. Fish caught in Shuswap Lake include rainbow, Kamloops, grey, speckled and Dolly Varden trout.

Stroll around McGuire Lake near the hospital and see the proud white swans with their family.

The Tourist Bureau is located at the Museum, a block from the traffic light. Open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the summer.

Salmon Arm has 5 supervised playgrounds, 2 tennis courts, and the Mount Ida hiking trail. More information is available from the Recreation Commission at 8326518. ******************** FLOWERS BY FIMMY MOVES TO PICCADILLY On Monday, November 2, Fimmy and Ed Ganshorn opened Flowers by Fimmy in Piccadilly and were busy all day. In fact, in 17 years of having her own business, Fimmy said she had the most sales on this day.

Forty years ago, Doreen McCaig hired Fimmy to work in her florist shop. It was Jan. 6, 1976. Fimmy had no

experience with flowers and knew nothing about design.

She asked Doreen why she hired her, and the response was that Fimmy came from a farm (DeBoer) and knew hard work.

COUPLE FROM CHINA BUYS DOLLAR STORE Your Dollar Store with More in Piccadilly acquired new owners on Sept. 10, 2015. Hugh and Cathrine Tian from Beijing, China, have never worked in retail before, so being in a dollar store is a new experience for them.

Hugh worked in engineering for nuclear power plants for Asian countries and Cathrine was a branch leader of a bank. Both were running all day. When they were expecting a baby, they decided to move to a more peaceful country. Their son is 16 months old and spends the days in day care.

In November, 2013, Hugh looked at three businesses to buy in Salmon Arm. He chose the dollar store because most of its products come from China. Prices are lower than in China and the quality is better. The Chinese government encourages manufacturers to export, and gives 40 per cent tax cut if they do. The Canadian government controls the quality it imports.

Hugh met David, who is also from Beijing, at Chester’s House of Cinnamon. It was a coincidence, says Hugh, to meet him here.

TWO KEY WOMEN AT THE OCT. 30 HOCKEY GAME Jade Viegas is on staff as the Silverback’s athletic therapist. She says the hardest part of her job is constantly trying to overcome the stigma of being a female working with males. At every game she sits behind the players, ready in case a player on the ice is hurt and needs some assistance. These are designations after her name: BKin, CAT(C), ATC. A woman linesman with a long ponytail, Cydnie Rice (71), was at the Oct. 30 game when West Kelowna visited Silverbacks and the visitors won in overtime.

SALMON ARM FILLS WITH HOCKEY FAMILIES This weekend, Silverbacks’ families will be here from near and far to watch their sons play two games against Merritt and West Kelowna. They will be wearing their sons’ jerseys, while the players will wear special Remembrance jerseys that will be in a silent auction this fall. There will be many social events for the parents.

Silverbacks were away last weekend. They won against Surrey and Langley and lost against Chilliwack.

COME TO A MOBILE HOME PARK RESIDENTS’ MEETING ON SUNDAY A meeting of MHP residents will be held 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 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 at the end.

We’ll hear problems in your park. If you do not wish to speak, I will read your written report. No names of managers/owners, or name of the park. I welcome people who had a problem in their park and solved it.

TRIPLETS WERE DELIVERED LAST TUESDAY A Salmon Arm couple waited years to have a baby, and accepted being childless. But Mahalia Meeuwsen, 42, conceived naturally without using fertility drugs, and ultrasound showed she and husband Mike would have

triplet girls. She was on bed rest in the Kamloops hospital, and the three babies were delivered on Tuesday, Nov. 3, by C-section at Royal Inland Hospital. They were born about eight weeks premature, and the three infants are being cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit. They will likely remain there for some time. Doctors say identical triplets happen about once in 50 million births.

RECYCLE YOUR BOOKS, DON’T DISCARD THEM Do not throw books in the garbage. You can recycle soft and hardcover books in blue bins with lids at CSRD’s recycling station near the airport.

“CANADIANS ARE ALL ABOUT ME, WHAT I WANT” Monica Roddis spoke at the Shuswap Pro-Life Society AGM on Nov. 3. She noticed a great difference in Canadians since she and her husband moved to Canada from England 40 years ago. People in Canada want everything the Brits wanted, even abortions. She was staggered by how many have been touched by abortions.

She was part of the founding of Birthright in Abbotsford and several other groups. She came to realize a woman who is coerced in having an abortion by a husband or parent, never has the pain go away. The woman needs compassionate help. Abortion is so commonplace now, she said.

Euthanasia was legalized in Canada in February 2015, but the current law for doctor-assisted suicide will not go into effect for 12 months in order to give sufficient time for the government to draft new laws.

Monica is very knowledgeable on abortion and euthanasia and speaks to many groups. The people present at the AGM on Nov. 4 enjoyed her talk after a dinner prepared by Knights of Columbus at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church hall.

ASKEWS CELEBRATED 86TH ANNIVERSARY November is the month when a senior Askew opened Salmon Arm Meat & Produce on Alexander Street in Salmon Arm. Every November 1st, the four stores– two in Salmon Arm, one in Sicamous and one in Armstrong – hold a customer-appreciation day with coffee, baking, and many sale items. The sale continues all month.

This year, 2015, Nov. 1st fell on a Sunday. The stores stayed with tradition and held the usual customer appreciation day on the Sunday. They did not expect to be busy, but staff in all four stores were rushed off their feet all day! The uptown store was extremely busy from 8 a.m. when it opened, until it closed.

BRAINSTORM THE LIBRARY’S FUTURE ON NOV. 17 Okanagan Regional Library is working on a new strategic plan, and there are public consultations in various communities, including Salmon Arm. James Laitinen, branch head librarian, said there will be an ‘Idea Lab’ in the library on Tuesday, Nov. 17, between 2 and 5 p.m.

Stay as long or as little as you like. This will be an opportunity for members of the public and community stakeholders to hear future directions for the ORL as a whole, and to give input on what services and features they’d like to see in the Salmon Arm branch.

School District 83 lands funding for upgrades

SALMON ARM – One school in Salmon Arm and another in Armstrong will be able to proceed with routine capital projects thanks to $645,000 in provincial funding. These improvements will help provide healthy, safe, and modern learning environments.

Hillcrest Elementary, Salmon Arm: Ground thermal field improvements will be made, at a cost of $505,000. A replacement heating system will be installed, and through the use of a ground-source heat

pump, 58 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year will be saved, and energy costs will be reduced by $12,400 per year.

Pleasant Valley Secondary, Armstrong: A control system upgrade will be done, at a cost of $140,000. The control system, including CO2 sensors, requires updating to improve occupant comfort, energy efficiency and maintainability.

Work is expected to begin this year and be completed by spring 2016.

“These upgrades will greatly improve

Teen Terms

I am fortunate to have two teenagers in my home. When you have teenage boys, you also have a lot of smelly laundry, large food bills, no leftovers, lots of hair gel and a whole other take on the English language.

Back in the 80’s we created terms such as “gnarly”, “hoser” and “tubular” and phrases such as “where’s the beef” and “Grody to the max.” These terms and phrases don’t exactly resonate with the modern day teenager, and so to help bridge the generational gap I decided to investigate what random/strange terms and misuses of the English language kids are using these days.

Cheddary – as you can imagine this has nothing to do with cheese. It has more to do with being upset, disturbed and/or shaken up and in particular can be used when someone is overreacting. An example of this term is “Don’t be so cheddary, it’s not the first time I borrowed your favourite pair of basketball shoes without asking!”

Troll – no, not the large burly mythical creature. Instead, it’s the action of doing something that makes someone uncomfortable. An example is pushing your face against the window of a vehicle and staring at the car in the lane next to you. It’s always a treat when you are driving to be entertained in such a way; at least that is the

the infrastructure and operating efficiency of Hillcrest and Pleasant Valley schools,” says Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. “Our government is committed to providing safe, comfortable learning environments, and I’m pleased that we are delivering these improvements to Salmon Arm and Armstrong.”

These projects were approved under the province’s routine capital program.

Projects were chosen based on need, priority, and supporting student learning.

Since 2002, the ministry has invested $4.2 billion in new and improved schools, including $2.2 billion in seismic upgrades.

This has resulted in 112 new schools, 186 schools with increased classroom space and 146 seismically upgraded schools.

Boards of education submit capital plans to the ministry that include details on school building priorities in their school districts.

The provincial government establishes an overall capital budget for schools based the ministry’s capital allocation.

To learn more about Capital Planning within the Ministry of Education, please visit: http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/ education-training/administration/ resource-management/capital-planning

fering from whatever pains they might have to go see the wonderful folks at Chadalin who I am sure will do their best to relieve those pains.

Thanks again, Emerald, and the wonderful staff there.

by Daron Mayes word amongst the kids these days. As for us adults? I think I’d be a lot more uncomfortable seeing the mythical creature than some teenager’s squished-up face.

Chapped – I thought I would revisit this one as it continues to be used amongst teenage socialites. Similar to “Cheddary” this can be used to refer to someone being upset about something as in “After Nathan got tripped in the hockey game, he was so chapped!” Other terms that are being interchanged with chapped these days are “rattled”, “wrecked” and “chinced.” As you can see, there seems to be a growing number of words in the teenage dictionary starting with the letters “ch”. Who knew?

Versing – describes who you are competing against in a game as in “The Canucks are versing the Flames tonight.” To be fair this term seems to be more popular with the pre-teens than teens.

Either way I cringe whenever I hear the term being used.

I could go on and on, but to be safe I must stop here. As you can see, it is no wonder parents and teenagers struggle to communicate. Sure, the hormones play a factor, but it would be nice if we had an interpreter too!

SPORTS & LEISURE Chargers lose a heartbreaker

By Andrew Van Dokkumburg Salmon Arm’s Junior Bantam Chargers were eliminated from playoff contention Sunday in heartbreaking fashion.

The Chargers hosted the Kelowna Lions, a team they had defeated twice in regular season action, and both teams came ready to play. The score stayed close from beginning to end, with the Kelowna Lions scoring the game-deciding points on a 50 yard pass completion with less than 20 seconds remaining in the game.

The Chargers’ lone offensive touchdown came on a run by the team’s leading scorer

during the season, Dylan Eugster. The offensive player of the game award went to Chase Henning for his inspirational leadership on and off the field.

The Top Lineman award went to Colby Heckrodt for his tireless fighting in the trenches.

Defensively, the Chargers played a very stout game, allowing only a handful of first downs and two big plays. Unfortunately, those two big plays were the deciding factor in the game. The defensive player of the game award went to Sam Hall for his outstanding play from the corner position, including multiple tackles and one long

interception return.

While the Chargers’ season ended with them on the wrong side of a heartbreaking loss, the coaches are very proud of the effort the team put forward all year long. The players worked their tails off every week, and reinforced to the Southern Interior Football Conference that Salmon Arm is one of the toughest teams to play against in the league.

Keep the trails dog-free Trail was not meant to exclude users I would like to throw a ray of light on the issue of dogs in the wildlife sanctuary. Over the last twenty-five years, members of the board of SABNES, many of whom were and are dog owners, have always voted to discourage the presence of pets in the three kilometres of trails inside the wildlife sanctuary. No great hardship, since at one count, the area has fifty-five kilometres of trail where dogs are welcome.

If the trail were entirely on the road allowance, the council would be within its rights to decide the issue. But much of the trail was deliberately designed to meander around swampy places, to make a turn around groups of mature trees, and generally to avoid straight lines. All three board walks are entirely on land owned, not by the city, but by Nature Trust BC. The Trust leases, for a nominal amount, their land to the BC Ministry of Environment. They and the former municipality set up SABNES, who is mandated to make the decisions regarding preservation, education and access. Under this latter category, the many volunteers applying for grants, planning improvements and actually carrying out the grunt work have made the sanctuary the envy of all who visit.

Twice in recent years, Nature BC has held its provincial convention in the Prestige Harbourfront Resort’s facilities because of the natural values of our lovely bay.

I would like to encourage citizens to support their council as they vote to continue to exclude pets even on a leash and even in our very short winter when those species which do not move south are at their most vulnerable.

[Copy of a letter sent to Salmon Arm Councillor Alan Harrison] Mr. Harrison, I read with interest the comments concerning the request to ban dogs from the lakeshore trail. I have lived in Raven for many years and was one of the first corporate sponsors of improvements to the trail. I have walked the trail many, many times to town and back with my two small dogs on leash and for the most part the people I have met are polite and friendly with the exception of a few, mostly elderly ladies, who have been down right rude despite the comments by Tom Brighouse. After one such encounter and several nasty letters in the local papers, I discontinued my monetary contributions.

Over the years I have never encountered dogs disturbing the wildlife or being loose off the trail.

Once in a while I noticed where someone had failed to pick up after their pets, in which case I removed the offending waste myself. There is lots of evidence of wild animal

waste, coyotes and such, easily identified as wild, which has been attributed to domestic animals by those who don’t know any better and which I also clean up by flicking off the trail with a stick.

There is no doubt that some people have little consideration or respect for the trail system, such as the two young boys I corrected for using the bird houses for target practise, the disposable diapers, Tim Hortons coffee cups and fast food wrappers strewn about. It’s hard to change human nature.

Over the years you have been a voice of reason and thoughtfulness on council so I urge you to not support this attack on pet owners by removing their right to enjoy a quite walk with their 4-legged companions along the trail. It was not meant to be the reserve for the downtown business crowd and tourism to the exclusion of local users.

Thank you for your consideration.

Robert Gosse, Salmon Arm

‘Reduced hours’ don’t honour vets

I was driving home the other day with EZRock 91.5 playing on my car radio. An ad came on for a local business, and it said: “In order to pay respect to our veterans, we will be operating at reduced hours on Remembrance Day.” Just as I was thinking that this was very admirable, the ad continued with “the reduced hours would be 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.” Well, as a person whose father landed on the shores of Normandy on D-Day in June 1944, I was now very disappointed. I think most people know that the most “sacred time” on November 11th is at 11:00 a.m. when all ceremonies have a moment’s silence in honour of those lost in the various wars. So if the business is going to “operate at reduced hours to honour the veterans,” then why not operate from 12 noon to 5 p.m. so that workers could attend whatever Remembrance Day ceremony they choose

and that 11 a.m. could still be honoured without it being just the start of another day of retail sales? I then went online and made some inquiries in other provinces.

Manitoba’s Remembrance Day business hours are 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. for many businesses and malls, and some stores choose not to open at all. Saskatchewan stores are operating 12 noon to 5 p.m. on Remembrance Day. I was not able to determine hours of operation in Alberta.

I realize that quite often any statutory holiday (which Remembrance Day is in some provinces, but not in others) has set business hours set provincially; however, given that 11 a.m. is such a special time on November 11th, I still think hours of business on that day should not commence until at least 12 noon.

Canadian money should depict Canadians

Liz, goodbye already!

I want Elizabeth’s image removed from Canadian Money. I’m happy for the Brits to have the old gal on their money. After all, she is a great tourist attraction for them and helps greatly with keeping hotel rooms in London filled. She does her Corgi march, uniformed horse ride and wave from a bulletproof car. Visitors have a lot of fun taking pictures of those dogs and practising the wave back at her. But for us, here in Canada, what does she do that betters our lives?

We pay for her representatives who, as far as I can see, do little more than show up at May Day gatherings and give a speech on how grateful we all are that another winter is finally past (we already know how grateful we are since we can finally put the snow shovels away). We even have to pay the cost of her coming for a visit. Are we not worthy enough that she can pay her own way? She has enough money.

Another part of this is I don’t understand why a Canadian political leader, elected by Canadians, has to go before the representative of another country to take an oath that he, or she, will do their jobs honestly and faithfully. What does Liz have to do with our choice of who governs us? I

Classified ad deadline, Tuesday at 1 p.m.

didn’t see where she came over and voted in our election. Whose country is Canada, anyway?

Our political leaders are supposed to be working on our behalf, aren’t they? When are we going to grow up?

Back to the money; there are dozens of Canadians who are eminently suited to have their images on our money. Oh, I know that money isn’t the reflection of a country’s greatness that it once was. Those who do prefer someone from another country on our money might like to have her face splashed for a couple of seconds on iPhones, or iPads, every time a text message was thumbed out. We should, I think, follow the example our cousins the Australians implemented some time ago. They decided to remove her face and stick the faces of fellow Australians on their money. I like the idea and am happy about anything Australian, except Cane Toads. So, I believe it is about time we decide that we are not second-class British, requiring one of them to be seen on one of the symbols of our wonderful homeland. We are first class Canadians and damn proud, damn proud to be so, eh.

Life on the farm

It’s a bit of a mystery, albeit a pleasant one.

Henry and Betty Zieber have been living on their farm for over 50 years and they have the usual kinds of trees on their property: willow, spruce, fir, cedar, pine, maple, and a few fruit trees. But a few years ago, a little tree sprang up, away from all the others, in middle of the field along the walking path.

What amazes me most is that I don’t think it’s a native tree; it puzzles me,” says Henry.

It blooms in late June, early July. As he pulls down one of the pods a curious black horse comes over to watch and moves his head up

“When we bought the property there were sheep, cattle and a few chickens,” says Betty.

“They [the former owners] walked off and we walked on so Henry became an instant farmer.”

Henry and Betty raised their four children (Rachelle, Lavonne, Randy, and Lenette) on the farm. It was a good place for

friends&neighbours

by Leah Blain They still have a good-size garden but they don’t have animals of their own. Henry, a retired school teacher, is interested in plants and wildlife, weather patterns and just about anything that goes on outdoors.

“A number of years ago cattle egrets were here. This isn’t part of their normal range.”

The cattle egret belongs to the heron family and feed in grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands, and rice paddies. It eats insects and peck ticks and flies from cattle.

Henry has a diary that he has kept since 1981 where he has made notes of the weather, snowfall, and observations about plants and animals.

“I haven’t always faithfully kept it, but I’m interested in weather patterns and the

On that same day five years later he wrote that the snow was 90 percent gone.

In 1990, March 20th, he recorded: “snow gone except in shady areas.” In 1998 the snow had already been gone for several weeks.

“That was the year of the fire, it was very dry, it was an early spring and relatively dry and hot.”

If the weather this year is anything like 1982 everyone should have their winter tires on because Salmon Arm had its first heavy snowfall on November 13th. But in 2000 on the same day there was no snow but ‘the weather had cooled off this weekend – a few degrees above zero.”

Around the same date in 1989 he recorded: “Cattle egrets have been here for almost one month but only one left.”

Two years later, on November 9, he had nine of them in his field.

He also kept track of the snowpacks on the ski hills because he finds it all interesting, and he likes to see patterns and compare the numbers from year to year.

Betty can vouch for his love of weather.

“When his brother calls from Edmonton, they talk about the weather for 10 minutes before they talk about anything else,” she says.

“That’s an exaggeration,” he says, smiling.

“No it isn’t.”

“Well,” he admits, “we do talk about the weather.”

Shelter spaces available

SALMON ARM – The B.C. government is funding 12 extreme weather shelter spaces in Salmon Arm this winter to help people whose health and safety may be threatened by cold weather.

The temporary spaces are available until March 31, 2016 as extreme weather alerts are issued in Salmon Arm. The 12 spaces are at Lighthouse Inn from the Cold, 441 Third St. SW. “Extreme winter conditions can be deadly and it is critical that vulnerable people in Salmon Arm have a warm and dry place to stay,” Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said. “Volunteers in our community work hard to ensure that temporary shelter is available during bitter weather.”

Each community decides what weather conditions warrant an alert and how many spaces to activate on a given night, depend-

Throughout British Columbia, close to 1,200 temporary emergency shelter spaces will be available this winter in about 100 communities.

The provincial government also funds outreach teams to help connect people with a range of services such as housing, health care and community supports.

Last year, more than 7,200 people in B.C. were connected to housing, income assistance and a range of support services by provincially funded homeless outreach and shelter workers.

Conservation officers a thin green line

B.C. Views column by Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – The B.C. government declared the first Conservation Officer Day on Nov. 4, to recognize the 110-year history of the service that started out as mostly volunteer “game wardens.”

This is overdue recognition for what is essentially a police force that only receives public notice when a bear or cougar has to be killed to protect people.

The ceremony at the B.C. legislature included awards. Chief Conservation Officer Doug Forsdick presented long-service medals and two commendations for lifesaving.

One was to CO Jason Hawkes, who rescued a family of four from their sinking boat on Kootenay Lake last June. He reached them in rough, windy conditions when they were waist-deep in water, far from shore.

The other went to CO Andrew Anaka, for rescuing an angler from an overturned boat, whom he found “extremely hypothermic” at the base of a cliff at a lake near Powell River on Jan. 22. A second angler didn’t make it to shore.

An exemplary service medal went to CO Micah Kneller, who caught up with Fort Nelson RCMP officers and paramedics on Sept. 6, as they treated

a hunter who had been attacked by a grizzly in a remote area. As darkness fell, Kneller found a second injured hunter, got the group together, built a fire and assisted until a rescue helicopter from CFB Comox lifted the hunters out at 3 a.m.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert had a couple of things on his mind at the event. He relayed a report from the B.C. Government Employees’ Union that there has been a 10 per cent cut in CO staff since 2002.

Not so, replied Environment Minister Mary Polak. The number has “hovered around 148” in that time, she said, including seasonal staff for peak hunting and fishing periods.

Polak said extra investment has gone into trucks that serve as mobile command centres, so people aren’t sitting in offices waiting for the phone to ring. They patrol more and respond faster, which can be vital.

Chandra Herbert also blasted the government for a “donation” of $100,000 from the Freshwater Fishing Society of B.C. to increase angling enforcement this summer, adding more seasonal CO days.

“What’s next, bake sales?” he said.

The real story is a bit more complicated. In March I reported that the B.C. Liberal government finally made good on a decade-old promise to turn over all revenue from freshwater fishing licence sales to the society.

Its revenue went from $7 million to $10 million once the government finally ended the practice of skimming some off for the general treasury.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett recalled that the society was established during the first years of Gordon Campbell’s government, a period of what Bennett called “religious zeal” for privatization.

The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working.

The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst. In short, they’re real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

They don’t get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais.

Cleaning tips

Dear Reena, I have a disorder called ‘chemical sensitivity,’ which is sensitivity to a huge array of products. So I buy a lot of less toxic products such as vinegar and baking soda, but I tend to react to those as well.

I would like to remove the spots on my kitchen faucet without using products that will provoke a reaction. Any thoughts? Bella Dear Bella, Here’s a good one! Polish the taps with wax paper to remove water spots on your faucet.

Dear Reena, My least favorite household chore is cleaning the fridge. Is there a way to reduce the need to clean the glass shelves in my fridge? I am looking for a solution that doesn’t take up a lot of space and isn’t much work? Thanks, Dan Dear Dan, Line the fridge shelves with plastic wrap. The wrap isn’t overly noticeable and reduces the amount of times per year that you need to clean the fridge. Change the plastic as needed.

Hi Reena, I have been going through my dinner napkins only to find lots of food stains that don’t seem to come out with regular laundry products. Is there an old-time method that can help? I seem to remember something about boiling them. It hasn’t been warm enough to hang them out on the line for days and the sun seems to be hiding! Can you help me to keep using these re-usable napkins or is it time to replace them? Thanks, Vivian Dear Vivian, Here is a spot remover that you can use to pretreat the napkin stains as well as several other fabrics. Into a spray bottle combine: two third cups ammonia, two third cups Dawn dish soap, one quarter cup baking soda and 2 cups warm water.

Spray napkins and wash with heavy-duty detergent. Or boil napkins in 10 cups water and one cup washing soda. Boil for 5 mins. and air dry or hang outside (test on inconspicuous area first).

Household Hints of the Week: Prevent wineglasses from toppling over in the dishwasher by gently securing them to the rack with an elastic band.

Get rid of static electricity on clothing by running a wire hanger on the underside of the pants or dress.

I enjoy your questions and tips–keep them coming. Check out Reena.ca.

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press Parents, advocates for the disabled and even the opposition critic applauded the B.C. government’s move to increase financial independence for people receiving disability assistance payments.

Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell has announced that effective Dec. 1, recipients will be able to receive financial gifts and inheritances of up to $100,000 without affecting their monthly payments. The current lifetime limit is $5,000 per person, after which assistance payments are reduced.

Stilwell said the change affects 96,000 people in B.C. who receive disability assistance.

“It’s available to all those individuals, and of course it would depend on their personal situations, their family support, friend support, whether they’re working or not working,” Stilwell said.

“And those are definitely changes that we’re trying to encourage as well, to help individuals to get into the workforce, so they can create opportunities for themselves to earn and to save.”

The government previously raised the earned income exemption so people can earn up to $9,600 a year without reduction of their disability assistance, and has encouraged B.C. businesses to hire disabled people.

James Ho, a member of the minister’s council on employment and accessibility, called the gift and inheritance policy “a quantum leap forward” for disabled people like his son.

Kathy Bromley, a disability advocate whose daughter attends Simon Fraser University, struggled to control her emotions at a ceremony at the B.C. legislature announcing the change Nov. 5.

“Just because Shannon was born with a disability and needs help to brush her teeth and put her coat on … she needs to have a good reason to wake up every morning,” Bromley said.

NDP social development critic Michelle Mungall

the change is “definitely good news” for those who can take advantage of it.

“I know with some of the families that I’ve been working with, people have come forward wanting to help them out, and they haven’t been able to because of the gift rule,” Mungall said.

“But at the end of the day, what we know is that the income assistance rates are very low, they are leaving people in poverty, and we see policies like the maternity leave clawback.”

Whistling cougars and barking hounds

Ever hear a sound in the bush that’s different?

For the many of us that have spent a lifetime hunting, fishing, logging, etc. there are sounds in the night, or odd occurrences that are intriguing.

Like the morning I was quietly walking through a tall larch stand after an elusive buck deer, when I came upon a heaped mound of sticks, leaves, and dirt. It was a cougar marking her territory.

Then I heard it – sharp, high-pitched chirps. It’s a distinctive whistle-like trill, to alert her kittens upon her return from a night of hunting. She will then take them to the carefully concealed kill site, where they will feed.

Animal stories. There are lots out there. Some are quizzical, others humourous, like the story my neighbour Ed Campbell related, as we talked hunting the other morning. In Ontario, hunters can use dogs to chase deer. A group of hunters will meet where deer gather, and they will turn the dogs loose. If the deer runs past a hunter, he/she may get a shot. While hunting, Ed was sitting on a stump, when he observed through the maple trees a doe deer that was being chased by a baying beagle. The doe would stop when the dog was close, then saunter off again. This happened several times.

She was probably a smart ol’ doe that thought she’d have some fun! Another time, he observed two red foxes and a beagle running in circles and playing. After all, I suppose the animals know beagles are pushovers, as opposed to the bigger Redbone and Bluetick hounds used for bigger game. Beagles are still used in Ontario for rabbit and grouse hunting.

Those little beasties called Pine Marten (related to the fisher, badger, and weasel) who frequent the lodgepole pine country, also hang out at lower elevations in the Revelstoke area.

Friendly and adaptable, they can become a nuisance quick as a wink. We were logging at 41 kilometre toward Mica a few years back, with heavy snow on the landing and in the bush. Ivan the boss told Pete the catskinner (and old bachelor) that he would have to get rid of all the food cans he had thrown about the D -7C where it was parked. Next morning, as we came on to the landing, and climbed onto the machine to fire it up, 19 of the rascals exploded from the canvas-covered cowling. They had gathered there to keep warm from the engine and leftovers. The marten’s main diet is squirrel. He can scramble up a close tree, and grab the squirrel as it’s coming up the other one.

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley Molly’s journey toward home: Molly just wasn’t happy with camp life, especially in five feet of snow. Folks I know once had a cedar shake claim up the Ratchford (near Seymour Arm), and she was the tabby cat in the camp, along with a couple dogs. The gal who owned her was feeding a crew of seven in campers and an old school bus, and Molly just didn’t like that at all.

She disappeared one morning, heading back towards Malakwa. The owner spotted her tracks, donned snowshoes, and began to track her down.

No luck the first day.

Second day out, and nine kilometres later, she kept calling and rattling Molly’s food dish. Why, down over the steep bank, she heard a faint meow!

The owner tucked her in her parka, and trudged the log distance back to camp. Oh, for the love of a cherished pet!

If you have an interesting animal story you’d like to pass along, give me a shout at 250-8321914, or contact the editor at Lakeshore News.

We’d love to hear from you!

Here and there in the Shuswap This week, another tale has emerged about a hunter in Northern Alberta who had to shoot his way out of a pack of advancing wolves.

Apparently a pack of seven animals went after him. He shot three, then the rest continued to attack. He ran out of shells, and drew his hunting knife. Another hunter on a quad heard the commotion and shot the other four.

There are two scenarios here: In my estimation, the animals had taken down and eaten all game in their territory and were very hungry. A wolf will eat 8-10 lbs of moose or deer a day. If there is a pack of, say, 10 animals, that’s a lot of game meat. Also, like dogs in a pack, the wolves would become more aggressive and bolder. It’s a very scary situation, and it seems that more needs to be done to either have a more aggressive cull (all politics/bleeding hearts aside) or let the population of wolves starve out, or die of parvo or other diseases.

Planning and Understanding Your Retirement Finances

THANK YOU!

Drs. Brian and Gail Ayotte recently became new Benefactors of the Shuswap Hospital Foundation. Brian and Gail arrived in Salmon Arm in 1980 and raised a family here. Dr. Brian Ayotte served on the medical staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital as Chief of Staff and also as Chief of Staff for the North Okanagan Region. He also served on the Shuswap Hospital Foundation Board of Directors for seven years with two years as President. Dr. Gail Ayotte’s skills were put to great use in caring for geriatric patients as they moved through the medical and care systems in the community. Now both retired physicians, Brian and Gail, continue to make great contributions to our community and we applaud their most kind and generous support as we welcome them as Benefactors of the Shuswap Hospital Foundation.

John Dixon Scott 1933 – 2015 It is with difficult and profound grief, we announce the passing of John Dixon Scott on November 1, 2015 at his residence at Pioneer Lodge, Salmon Arm at the age of 82 years.

“Scotty” was born in Kirkland Lake, Northern Ontario on August 25, 1933.

His life was an amazing whirlwind of events, memories and of course, leaving a definite colourful, lasting impression.

He is survived by three children; Tamara, Shawn, and Shannon as well as his dearest friend and caregiver, Liza Cook.

Scotty’s life included playing junior hockey for three years then joining the Air Force for five years as a physical training instructor.

He mainly resided in Vancouver from 1958 – 1998 where he began the next leg of his life doing what he loved most, bartending on a social basis and to the elite as well as coaching women’s baseball which he was so proud of!

His next journey took him to Salmon Arm where he lived the rest of his life starting in “1998” becoming a “regular” to us and making friendships non-stop prior to moving into Pioneer Lodge where he lived since 2006.

The “Hideaway” became his “home” and we adopted him and put him to work bartending our events and Christmas parties.

Never a dull moment!! There really isn’t enough paper to reflect his whole life. The memories he impressed on so many of us will never be forgotten. We cannot emphasize the appreciation, love and help that we received from Pioneer Lodge and staff, Dr. DeWet and staff as well as Vince and Tammy Fischer.

A celebration of Scotty’s life will be held on Monday, November 16, 2015 at 2:00 p.m., at Pioneer Lodge Gathering Room.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm 250833-1129. Email condolences and share your memories of Scotty through his obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.

Jim Burden 1931 - 2015 James William (Jim) Burden, a long time resident of Salmon Arm, passed away unexpectedly on the 5th of November, 2015 at the age of 84. Jim is mourned by his wife of 61 years, Hazel Norene, his son and daughter-in-law, Dan and Catherine, and his two grandchildren, Alexander and Liz. Jim was predeceased by his daughter Carol in 2014. Born 25 May 1931 in Chilliwack, Jim was the youngest of 12 children.

In 1954, Jim and Norene were married in Abbotsford, and then moved to Prince George, where he worked his trade installing heating systems and then for the City of Prince George. They returned to the coast to be closer to family and Jim accepted a position as Superintendent of Public Works for the City of Langley. In 1968, they moved to Salmon Arm and Jim worked at Salmon Arm Sheet Metal and then at Drew’s Sawmill until his retirement. Jim was an avid pilot and he and Norene were active members of the Salmon Arm Flying Club for many years. He loved fishing and spent many happy days with Norene on their favourite lakes. Jim was a very social person, and will be greatly missed by his many friends in the Salmon Arm community. No service by request. Flowers gratefully declined.

Larry passed away peacefully at the age of 59, on November 5th, 2015.

Larry was born in Armstrong and was raised on Yankee Flats Road where he was proud of his family heritage land. He started into the logging industry during his teens, helping his dad log and working at the sawmill down the road. Larry was preceded by his wife, they were married for 29 years and had three children; Lindsay, Devon, and Jessica. He prided himself in his logging company which kept him busy.

He worked magic on his cat while building roads and could fall a tree with great precision. He was so proud of his kids playing hockey and took great pleasure in coaching Devon’s team. He believed everyone deserved an equal chance at hockey and was truly dedicated to minor hockey. He enjoyed fishing, playing hockey and baseball. He enjoyed socializing and knew how to bug you in just the right way it brought a smile to your face.

Larry is survived by his children Lindsay (Joel), Devon (Laura), and Jessica (Rylan) and two grandsons, Sunny and Sawyer, mother Jennie Scott, sister Violet (Roy) and nieces, Charolette (Russel) and Elizabeth.

George Paton Jackson George passed away peacefully, with his daughters by his side, at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm, BC on Friday, October 30, 2015 at the age of 97 years.

George will be lovingly remembered by his daughters, Ruth (Terry) and Joyce (Sid); grandchildren, Angela (Paul), Jennifer (Lief), Lisa (Mike), Meghan, Graham, and Nathan; great grandchildren, Katie, Ben, Jackson, Soren, Hazel, and Johan; and sisters, Tina and Cathy (Ralph).

He was predeceased by his wife, Irene in 1966. He was also predeceased by his parents, George and Hetty; his twin sister, Hetty; and his brothers, Robert, Tommy and David.

George was born in Kippen, Scotland on June 21, 1918, and moved with his family to Silver Creek, a farming community near Salmon Arm, in 1926. Once on his own, he worked in the lower mainland for several years where he met Irene Morris, the love of his life.

They married in 1952 and 1953 they moved to a farm in White Lake where they started their family and raised Hereford cattle. George remained on the farm until 1971. He subsequently worked and lived in Salmon Arm, Armstrong, and Vernon before moving into McGuire Lake Lodge in Salmon Arm in 2007.

Larry is now at peace with his wife Trena, his dad George and his grandson Scott.

His favorite pastimes were going to dances, attending auctions in Armstrong and spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. In later life, George also enjoyed many hours sitting by McGuire Lake visiting with family and friends.

There will be a drop in memorial tea held for Larry at the Silver Creek Hall on Sunday, November 15 from 1:004:00pm. Please feel free to join the family and visit with old friends as Larry loved to do.

His funeral service will be held at the chapel of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm on Saturday, November 21st at 2:00 pm, with interment of George’s cremated remains to follow at a later date in Mount Ida Cemetery.

B.C. judges get retroactive 4.9% raise

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press One group of employees that escaped the B.C. government’s caps on pay increases is the 155 provincial court judges.

The judges’ association has won a court challenge of a 1.5 per cent raise approved by the B.C. government for the fiscal year ended in March 2014. The Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the government’s appeal of an earlier decision to make the raise 4.9 per cent, plus an increase of the judges’ pension accrual rate from three to 3.5 per cent.

The cost of the retroactive raise is estimated at $2.67 million for that year alone. It remains to be seen if the judges will challenge the one per cent increase approved for 2014-15, which brought their salaries to $236,950.

“This will have an impact on our fiscal plan,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton told report-

A division of

ers. “And as you know government has been in an environment of balancing the budget, and part of our philosophy on that is that provincial court judges’ salaries should generally fit into the same pattern that public service salaries fit into.”

Starting in 2013, the province negotiated fiveyear contracts with health care, social services and other unions with raises between one and 1.5 per cent per year. Finance Minister Mike de Jong introduced the concept of “growth sharing” to achieve longer labour settlements, with additional raises paid in years when growth of the provincial economy exceeds independent forecasts.

The judges’ association lost its initial challenge of the 2013-14 raise, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Savage noted provincial court judges’ salaries had risen 45 per cent in a decade, from $161,250 per year in 2004 to $234,600 in 2013.
