By Tom Fletcher, Black Press A year behind schedule and $18 million over budget, the latest high-voltage line of the BC Hydro grid has been completed from Merritt to Coquitlam.

The new line parallels the existing main line supplying the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island from hydro dams on the Peace and Columbia Rivers. It was originally to be completed in 2014, but the main contractor fell behind and BC Hydro used its own crews to complete one of the most difficult portions, a 19 km stretch north of Hope.

The final cost for the 247 km line is expected to be $743 million, which Energy Minister Bill Bennett said is about two per cent more than the initial $725 million budget.

“There is an ongoing arbitration between BC Hydro and [contractor] Flatiron Graham as to who’s going to bear the cost of the delay, because the project was delayed by a year,” Bennett said in an interview Friday.

It’s the first 500-kilovolt line added to the BC Hydro grid in 40 years, to keep up with demand from a growing southwestern B.C. population and increase reliability in the event of disasters.

“You always have the potential for a big avalanche or a mudslide, even an earthquake, to take out one or two of your big transmission lines, bringing electricity in from the two rivers, the Columbia and the Peace,” Bennett said.

NDP energy critic Adrian Dix said the project started out with a $600 million estimate, making it $125 million over budget. He said it’s the latest in a series of cost overruns, including the Northwest Transmission Line north of Terrace, the Dawson Creek-Chetwynd line and the Iskut extension in the northwest.

Bennett said BC Hydro is under-budget on its overall capital construction plan, including $100 million under budget on reconstruction of five generating units at the W.A.C. Bennett Dam on the Peace River, and there is no additional effect on rates.

BC Hydro is committed to a capital budget of $2.4 billion a year for the next 10 years, including construction of the Site C dam on the Peace River and reconstruction of the Ruskin Dam in the Fraser Valley and the John Hart Dam on Vancouver Island.

Gloomy days & food

With winter, cloudy, gloomy days are upon us, and this can lead us to eat more. It is believed that during the sunny days of summer, our bodies produce more of the ‘happy’ hormone called serotonin. However, in winter, this happy hormone serotonin is produced less. Low levels of serotonin can cause seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and may cause one to crave carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are present in bread, pastas, rice, etc. Carbohydrates can provide that good feeling, as they increase the speed at which the amino acid tryptophan reaches the brain. Tryptophan is used to make serotonin, which, in turn, makes us have that happy feeling. But, eating carbohydrates comes with a price – we put on weight.

On cloudy, days if you crave carbohydrates, have only a little. Watching funny shows can help somewhat to curb the craving. However, the best way to up your production of the happy hormone is to exercise. It’s hard to get motivated on cloudy days to exercise, but let the cloudy day inspire you to exercise instead. If the road conditions are good, then walking is one way. If not, swimming is another way; or joining a gym in winter is also a great idea. Exercising will release the ‘good feeling’ hormone and may help to reduce the carb craving that is more prevalent on cloudy days.

There are supplements available to boost the serotonin levels, but I prefer the natural way – with exercise. I make sure that I try my best to exercise, especially if it is a gloomy day, and not go for the easy route of grabbing potato chips or bread.

“Healthy” items to eliminate

Whether it has been through effective marketing, or just because it has been “what our family has always used,” there are objects around the house that you should consider changing or entirely removing.

Today I want to provide a list of some of the most common household objects that may be more harmful than beneficial.

Antibacterial soap is at the top of the list because it has been shown to be mostly ineffective and may actually be harmful. A study in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases compared normal soap to antibacterial soap that contains the common chemical triclosan, and they found it did not provide any further bacterial protection. In addition, triclosan, which is also in hand sanitizers, was found to be linked to antibiotic resistance, hormone disruption, and has even been found to mimic estrogen and stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells.

Get rid of your office chair! More than 10,000 research articles are now showing excessive sitting will shorten your life and promote a multitude of chronic diseases. If you have to be at a desk or computer, investigate the more readily available “convertible desks” that raise the work station to a comfortable height to allow you to stand while you work. If this is not an option for you, please get up and move/stretch/exercise frequently throughout your day.

Cotton swabs are something you can probably find in almost every household. The problem with using them to clean the ear canal is it can actually push ear wax deeper into the canal leading to blockages. Ear wax

is a natural layer of protection for the body and should be allowed to accumulate (within reason). When the body is functioning properly excess wax will gradually move and fall out naturally through ear movement created by chewing and talking. Regular bathing also will clear out any wax that is near the opening.

The kitchen blender is the next object that must be kept clean for the health of your family. The sealing ring between the blade base and the top if not cleaned and dried regularly can be a perfect location for bacteria and mold to grow. Take it apart regularly and clean it well with soap and water. Along the same lines are rubber spatulas that are made up of a separate blade and handle. Where the handle inserts into the blade is one of the dirtiest places in the kitchen! The new one-piece rubber spatulas don’t have this bug collection point and are far more sanitary.

Stuffed animals are loved by the kids, but can be quite unhealthy if they live in the bed. The problem is they can accumulate dust and dust mites which can trigger asthma and allergic reactions in the kids. Wash them regularly and place them in a plastic bag in the freezer overnight to kill any dust mites. While it is important for kids to be exposed to dirt, family pets etc to develop a healthy immune response, chronic exposure to such bacteria, etc, can also be detrimental.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor who can help your nervous system function at its best and can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 8030224.

Nutrition coupon program Help sponsor a Syrian family

For the past two years, the Shuswap Farm and Craft Market and the Shuswap Family Resource and Referral Society have partnered to administer the BC Farmer’s Market Nutrition Coupon Program.

This program distributes coupons to low income seniors and families in the community, enabling them to have access to local and healthy fruit, vegetables and meat at the local farmer’s market. They have seen how these coupons have made a significant difference for families and seniors. This program was waitlisted and they were approached about including individuals in need, which identifies the need for this program to expand. This Christmas season, limited private community

funding has enabled them to expand this program to include individuals.

This program not only supports seniors, families and individuals who receive the coupons; it also supports local farmers and producers and encourages community and supporting local initiatives.

Their hope is to find community funding to expand the program to help more families, seniors and individuals.

If you would like to learn more about this program or would like to support this program to grow, please contact Ebony Vardal at the Shuswap Family Resource and Referral Society at 250-832-2170 ext 209 or ebony_vardal@familyresource.bc.ca.

Enderby’s St. Andrews United Church is urging the community to rally behind those impacted by the global refugee crisis. The church council recently decided to help sponsor a family from Syria by working together with Vernon’s Trinity United refugee committee.

Once a family has been sponsored, the formal commitment is for one year, and funds will be required to

support their every need, including housing and groceries. The Church is hoping that citizens of Enderby will be able to help with clothing, furniture, and household goods. It is not known when a refugee family may arrive in Vernon, but they will continue to keep Enderby posted as this project progresses. For more information or for offers to help, please phone Joan at 250-838-6673.

Looking back through history I WAS ASKED TO START A FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN When the BC Heart Foundation learned we were leaving Vancouver in 1970 and moving to Salmon Arm, the people in charge wanted me to start a Heart Foundation campaign in this town. I said no, because when new people move into a town and take over, they are shunned. I was assured there was not an active BC Heart Foundation in town. My mother-in-law, Myrtle Scales, was active in the Cancer Society in Salmon Arm. Before I started, I had to be sure there was not a heart organization.

When we lived in Vancouver in 1966, I answered an appeal for canvassers for the Vancouver Heart Society, and did an hour of knocking for funds in February. The next year I did the same. Then I was promoted to being a chairperson over 10 canvassers. The fourth and final year, I was in charge of 10 chairpersons who had a total of 100 canvassers. It was a good year!

IN FEB. 1971, THERE WAS NO HEART CANVASS February is Heart Month. The first February our family was in Salmon Arm, in 1971, I saw a mail campaign for heart funds. There was no door-to-door canvass. I agreed to start one. The first thing needed was a good map of Salmon Arm which I obtained, but the new subdivisions and homes were not on. Especially the homes above Hillcrest School.

Before winter set in, Jim drove many streets and I drew canvassers’ routes. Houses did not have numbers anywhere in town. Streets had names, not numbers, so creating an hour-long canvasser’s route was a challenge.

Many streets were interrupted by a gully or a hill. Various organizations used our maps in their fundraising and we compared notes.

THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED ON THE CAMPAIGN Son-number-one remembers the dining-room table covered with canvassers’ maps, packets, little envelopes and receipt books. He remembers a team meeting in our home. A small area was canvassed in 1972, and a larger area in 1973.

These were chairpersons in 1974 and ’75: Martha Peters, Burt Henning, Chuck Patterson, Gail Berry and Eileen Sissons. In 1975 canvassers brought in $1,213.22, slightly more than the year before.

Nadia Guy looked after In Memoriam donations. Clara Johnston and I had signing authority for the general fund.

Jim Mansley, manager of the Bank of Montreal, took kits, money and receipts from canvassers. Eileen Sissons collected money from red boxes in businesses during heart month. Gordon Sissons put up heart campaign posters in February, then took them down.

Donations in the province during the campaign were $767,858 higher than the goal. It was good to be working for a winner, I wrote the chairpersons.

SOMEONE ELSE HAD TO TAKE OVER My focus changed after that, because I started this newspaper after the 1975 campaign. It was good training!

I resigned from the B.C. Heart Foundation and put all my effort into Shoppers’ Guide in March, 1975. ************** MP MEL ARNOLD NAMED OFFICIAL DEPUTY CRITIC The Hon. Rona Ambrose, Leader of the Official Opposition and Interim Leader of the Conservative Party,

announced the Shadow Cabinet. Mel Arnold, Member of Parliament for North Okanagan Shuswap, was named deputy critic for Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard.

“I was happy to receive the call from Ms. Ambrose asking if I would serve in the Shadow Cabinet for the Official Opposition as Deputy Critic for Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard. I look forward to my new role and being an effective member of such a dynamic team,” said Mel. Over 5.6 million Canadians voted for the Conservative Party on October 19, leading to one of the strongest oppositions to a majority government in Canadian history.

EVERY 9-1-1 CALL MUST BE CONTACTED If you place a 9-1-1 call by mistake and hang up, it’s called a dropped call and a dispatcher from Kelowna will phone you. If the dropped call was made from your cell phone, the dispatcher will contact your phone, then the cell company. If you do not answer your phone twice, a police officer will be assigned to find you because you might be in trouble.

I was one of seven members of Salmon Arm Citizens Patrol who spent an hour touring the dispatch centre in Kelowna on Oct. 24. It was fascinating! Every dispatcher can take a 9-1-1 call from someone in the district that stretches from the U.S. border up to Lillooet, to Clearwater, to the Alberta border and back down to the U.S. border. In September, South East District Operational Communication Centre took 33,730 incoming calls. Of those, 12,000 came to 9-1-1. In September, 67 9-1-1 calls were from pay phones, and 49 per cent of calls came from a cell tower, not from a home.

The South East District is one of the largest and busiest in Canada, covering 52 RCMP detachments.

PSYCHIC TOLD ME AT A KELOWNA WELLNESS TRADE SHOW THAT I WILL LIVE TO BE 100 At a wellness trade show in October I saw a sign above a table that said Helen is a psychic who is able to tap into a client’s energy field. Cost was $20 for 15 minutes. She is a well-known certified medical intuitive from Vancouver who has been a guest host for an on-line radio show, where she intuitively helped clients from all over the world.

I had low energy that day and decided I would let Helen see what she could find. She recognized immediately that I was exhausted; but what she also found was that I am usually full of energy and overextended myself.

I told her I planned to die when I am 85 or at the most 90; and she said no, I will live till I am 100. She said I should write a book about my life. She advised me to take time for myself every day. Walk more; meditate when I get up.

Give up one of my jobs. Yes, give up picking recyclables from apartments I manage as she felt it was way too much for me. Within a month of my reading with Helen, the recyclable pick-up was given to a firm that does just that. I phoned and told Helen the good news but she knew already this was to happen.

Helen is a certified medical intuitive/psychic, registered holistic intuitive and intuitive eating coach. She can be reached to book intuitive readings by phone through her website www.askhelen.ca or by email info@askhelen.ca. Ask when she is coming back to the Okanagan.

TIM HORTONS REOPENS AFTER THREE WEEKS Downtown Tim Hortons has had a facelift with some rockwork outside and around the new fireplace inside.

BPR Construction of Kelowna remodels all Tims in the province. It finished the Tim Hortons in Trail, and then came to Salmon Arm for over three weeks. The coffee shop re-opened Mon., Nov. 14. Immediately visible are new tables and chairs and new lighting.

I MET LONGTIME EMPLOYEE GEORGE CLAYTON George Clayton, age 47, worked for this newspaper from age 12 to 19. After he graduated he went to the coast to work. Now he is working in Calgary. He came to Salmon Arm to celebrate his late father’s life on Sept. 19. That day would have been his father’s 75th birthday, and the 10th anniversary of his passing.

As advertised, I joined the family at A&W for breakfast from 8 to 10. It was his father’s favourite place. It was great meeting George’s wife Dana and son Nicolas. Daughter Sara was not able to leave her nurse’s training. George’s mother, Georgette Clayton, also arranged a Mass at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church at 5, followed by dinner at Jade Buffet.

George was SUCH a good employee! He could do almost anything at the paper. He is still as friendly as he was then.

He didn’t go into newspapers when he left Salmon Arm, but worked with fireplaces and heaters. He and Dana moved to the States and George had his own business, but when the children arrived, he wanted them raised as Canadians. Now he is managing someone else’s fireplace shop.

Take your cement

The other day we happened to be in Kelowna for my son’s hockey game, and with that comes stopping by the food court for lunch. When you have a bunch of hungry boys, the food court is the quickest and easiest way to ensure everyone gets what they want without too much argument. It is great because trying to get four boys to agree on a single restaurant some days can be very painful!

After stuffing ourselves, the Junior Bean Counter and I went off to find a pharmacy as we needed to pick up a couple items; namely deodorant for all the stinky boys in my house.

As we were walking up and down the aisles, the Junior Bean Counter was carefully studying the different items on the shelves. Eventually he blurted out, “Dad, we should get some cement.”

“Cement?” I questioned, not having a clue what he was talking about.

“Yah, I think we probably need to get some cement,” he answered.

“I’m not following you. Why do we need to get some cement?” I inquired.

“You know… cement. You took cement when we went to Disneyland so that you wouldn’t get sick on all the rides!” he explained.

“Oh! You mean Gravol!” I responded.

“Yes! Gravol! That’s it,” he exclaimed.

After a having a good laugh together. I asked him why exactly we would need Gravol as we weren’t planning on going anywhere with rides anytime soon. The Junior Bean Counter responded with, “You never know when you might need to go to on some wild rides, Dad!” Well, what I do know is whenever I do go on wild rides, I feel terrible for hours after and hence the need for Gravol. However, it couldn’t be worse than how I’d feel if I actually took “cement” instead.

Letters to the Editor Happy with ‘old’ columnists

Congratulations on the Nov. 20 reappearance of two former ‘News columnists.

The ‘News’ is truly to be commended for Afke Zonderland’s “Foods Alive” column in which she knowledgeably describes and highlights the ‘rediscovered’ health benefits of plant-based nutrition generally, and most recently, fermented foodstuffs; the latter, a common cultural practice of the past, and only now being scientifically supported by exciting new research into our internal flora and fauna – the “microbiome.”

Hopefully, Afke’s valuable column will again be a regular feature of the ‘News.

Mall Arkey’s return is also most welcome – or should I say – return of the Shuswap’s own Donald Trumplike, tongue-in-cheek comic relief!? (without the Donald’s’ odd, signature hair!) I can recall with fond nostalgia many years ago,

Mall Arkey’s dismissal of the Salmon Arm foreshore as nothing but a messy, muddy swamp, and thus, urgently in need of hotels, care homes, residences, or whatever other intrusive development could (and would, alas!) usurp the precious, natural Salmon Arm foreshore. (He didn’t know about the CSRD’s inappropriate foreshore location proposal as yet).

When Mall Arkey incorrectly described the foreshore as a worthless “swamp,” he also failed to distinguish it from a “marsh,” “fen,” or “bog” (ecologically, the foreshore is a “marsh”), so I knew for certain that readers

would enjoy years of his entertaining, tongue-in-cheek columns that no one would ever have to take seriously!

Together with Sally’s Ma Murrayesque coverage of just about everything in the community; Hank Shelley’s columns on (overdue) declining hunting and fishing, while demonizing bear, wolf and cougar predators – but excellent ‘pioneer’, historical essays; and curious, but fascinating anti-evolution lettersto-the-ed rants, the ‘News indeed features a wide-ranging and compelling scope of diverse features and opinion!

A singer, a cause, a concert

The rehearsal One by one, musicians start coming in for the Saturday morning rehearsal. Most of them know each other, but there are a few introductions.

“Sorry I’m late,” says Deverick Clingwall as he comes in. The others assure him he is not late as they are still setting up. Stools and music stands are ready, with Holy City set up for the first song. Andrew Stoney is at the piano, Carmen Stoney and Cherish Stoney along with Tamar Skinner and Naomi Chan are playing violin, Barb Ennis is the lone cellist this morning, but cellist Madelyn Stoney will be there for the performance, and Deverick is the bass player.

Gratiela Pachmann tells them that she will be joined by Bronwyn Christianson for this song.

Bronwyn, who has just arrived with her parents, is a little hesitant and shy but she smiles as she walks over to Gratiela. Gratiela slides the stand down a little so the 11-year-old can read the words.

The musicians begin and the room is filled with the beautiful sound. Gratiela, a lyrical soprano opera singer, smiles and nods to Bronwyn, to cue her coming in. Her voice blends beautifully with Gratiela’s. If she was hesitant to begin, she isn’t now. Bronwyn, who has gone through treatments for leukemia, is beaming and confident as she sings her part.

As the last notes die down the musicians go right away into discussion pointing out different parts and marking their music sheets: “Tempo was good’....’So we slur that if we can?’....’He has it marked up and I have it marked down - which is the mistake?’....‘Slurring on the 8th note really works nicely’...‘Let’s try the intro and keep it going’....’I ended with bow down - I have to make some adjustments’....‘Up bow on the 5th bar - is that what you meant?’”

They go through a few more songs and by 10:45 things are wrapping up. Gratiela talks to them about the program lineup. The ensemble will play for some and she will have recorded music for other pieces she is singing from her CD. The cause: iLearn Street During the intermission, she says, there will be a slide show on a previous iLearn Street event and Mayor Nancy Cooper will be talking about the program. The proceeds of the evening are going to iLearn Street, a program that uses fun and interactive methods to teach young people. [iLearn Street, which was popular in the past, was cancelled this past spring].

“I want to give back to the community and I decided on how to give back,” she says in an interview after the rehearsal. “It’s important to have something and affordable for kids. I decided to have this Christmas concert to make it happen for Salmon Arm.” Gratiela wants to have funds in place for next year to ensure iLearn Street can go ahead.

The singer Growing up in a small village in Romania, Gratiela came by her love of music from her father’s side of the family.

“When I was young my grandpa would say, ‘what story do you want me to sing?’ I remember him singing me stories every single day. My dad was a very musical per-

son; he was a very good tenor; he taught himself to play every instrument.”

Her father wanted her to go to music school because he saw Gratiela had the same musical inclination and set aside one-quarter of his salary to make it possible.

When she started going to the Scoala Populara de Arta in Ploiesti her plan was to study the violin.

“That’s how I really began in music. One day I was playing and she (the instructor) heard me hum the song I was playing. She said, ‘Stop right now.’ I thought I had

done something wrong but she said my humming was so precise and beautiful she said I had to test to qualify for voice training.”

After a year of violin, Gratiela auditioned for the voice program. She was accepted right away. More than once she was compared to Maria Callas, the famous Italian singer.

“They told me I had something very rare, a sense and feel of the music without being trained. I would sing songs in Italian – I didn’t know what they meant – and I would feel the emotion without knowing the words.”

Gratiela sang in six languages: Romanian, Latin, Italian, French, Spanish, and German. One day she was at the telephone office to make some long distance calls when she saw a group of ‘tourists.’ She had music posters with her. The Canadians smiled at her, pointed at her posters and then followed her back to her music school.

“I didn’t know what they wanted. I saw them following me and I walked faster. I walked up the long spiral stair-

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

friends&neighbours

by Leah Blain case and watched as they kept climbing stairs after me. I said to the secretary, ‘People are following me, I think they speak English, I don’t know what they want.’”

The secretary spoke English and talked to the visiting Pentecostal Church missionaries from Salmon Arm who were in Romania to distribute food and clothing. They said they wanted to hear Gratiela sing. A class was interrupted so the accompanist could play for Gratiela.

One of the Canadians, a tall man in a turquoise jacket, sat there with his eyes closed. The translator said to her: “He said when he heard you singing, in that moment he was transported to Heaven and he didn’t want to come back.”

Tim Pachmann knew right then he had to get to know Gratiela. During the rest of his time there they spoke through an interpreter. Before he left he asked her parents if he could marry Gratiela. They said no. After some persistence the answer was eventually yes. When Gratiela came to Canada at the age of 23 with very little English, the first months were hard and lonely. Her singing was the only thing that was familiar.

They lived in Salmon Arm, where their daughter was born. They moved to Toronto for Gratiela’s music. Over the years her musical career took her on European tours as lead soloist, she won awards, recorded albums, met and sang with other famous singers, and played to sold-out crowds. She mentions these in a matter-of-fact tone.

“At one of my last concerts, Andrea Boccelli’s conductor was in the audience. He yelled ‘Can you please sing ‘Allelulia’ by Mozart?’” She smiles at this.

But touring isn’t conducive to family life, which eventually included a son. The moved back to Salmon Arm where Gratiela became a care aide at Hillside Village. Coming from a family of doctors and nurses, the medical field isn’t foreign to her, and she had finished her nurse training in Romania before she came to Canada.

She spends a few hours in the morning singing, especially now rehearsing for her upcoming concert. For now, her audiences aren’t in grand concert halls, but in the corridors of Hillside. Her singing soothes them and makes them smile. Many of them can’t pronounce her name, so she is commonly called ‘Grace.’

Gratiela is excited to be giving a concert after a threeyear hiatus. She is hoping that this won’t be simply an evening of entertainment but a soul-stirring experience for everyone who comes.

“I want to touch people’s hearts. We’re all at peace with each other and we all want the same thing: goodness, peace, and love.”

The concert Christmas With Gratiela takes place at 6 p.m. at the Gathering Place at Broadview Evangelical Free Church on Saturday, December 5. Tickets ($20) are available at Wearabouts, Shuswap Health Foods, and at the door.

Songs will include Christmas favourites along with other pieces such as Verdi’s Va’pensiero (chorus of the Hebrew slaves).

SPORTS & LEISURE Shuswap Thunderstruck ringette team brings home silver

By Tobiah Riley The Shuswap Thunderstruck U14 ringette team (right) traveled to Burnaby/New Westminster to take part in the exciting IceBreaker Ringette Tournament, November 13–15. Strong teamwork and effort was on display in the first game Friday morning with a convincing win over the host Burnaby-NewWest team. Ashley Bitz, Phoebe Barnes, and Delany Perry scored twice each, while Bethany Riley had a goal and an assist from defense. The second Friday afternoon game featured a match up with Fraser Valley, which the Thunderstruck won 2-0 in a tight, penalty-filled game. Teagan Findlay and Chloe Latosky played particularly strong on defense.

Saturday started with an early morning game against a combined Vancouver-Richmond team which Shuswap Thuderstruck won handily. The game featured strong performances by forwards Kylynn Rosenburg and Arleen Chhokar as well as Hannah Patterson on defense. Later Saturday, Team Thunderstruck met their greatest competition and rivals in the Kelowna Rockettes.

Coming out flying, Shuswap went up 8-2 before

Kelowna mounted a strong comeback. The game ended 8-6 with scoring by Mikaela Curdyk (4 goals), Sydney Decker and Taylor Cowen. The Shuswap Thunderstruck completed the round robin as the only undefeated team, winning all four games and finishing first in their division.

Sunday morning began with a semi-final game against Port Coquitlam. Mikaela Curdyk scored a hat trick to lead Shuswap to a hard fought 4-2 victory. The team would be playing in the Gold Medal game, and it was to be deja vu for the Thunderstruck as they would once again face their rivals from Kelowna. In a nailbiting and closely-fought contest, Kelowna would prevail with a 3-2 win despite the Shuswap girls thrilling parents and fans with scoring chances until the last second of the game. A wonderful weekend ended with a silver medal for the hard-working Shuswap Thunderstuck players and their goalie Ryann Decker, who was central to their exceptional performance. Photo contributed

CHRISTMAS WISHES

2015

Clear language

When I enter the Shuswap Lake General Hospital to visit a sick friend, and I don’t know if he or she is in an emergency bed, ICU, or a room, the signage is not readily clear, friendly, and adequate. There are two signs saying “Admitting,” and one, I think not readily recognizable to all, saying “Triage.” Well, I know I don’t want admitting, and not knowing Napoleonic War terminology, i.e. “triage,” I look for an info sign. Well, yes, there is one, away to the side, in an area staffed by a volunteer who is not regularly there. The ordinary vernacular is not used throughout, and some clarification or interpretation for the aged or non-English speakers, or others who are not word-wise, of the word ‘triage’ would be helpful.

Nature group not faceless

In the early nineties, the Salmon Arm Bay Nature Enhancement Society (SABNES) asked for and received nearly half a million dollars federal money to rebuild the topography of Christmas Island, making it more natural-looking with ponds, waterways, and small hills. This work was done to benefit both humans and wildlife.

At that time it was decided to build trails along the waterfront, with these funds, including wooden walkways and platforms.

The volunteers of SABNES have spent many hours over the last twenty-five years constructing and

maintaining these works, and are now being told by a few dog owners that they have no right to restrict their dog on these trails.

At the Council meeting of November 23, I was, and I am sure my fellow volunteers were, offended by a comment that SABNES was a faceless and unqualified organization. In fact, they have been given the job by Council and the Ministry of Environment of making those important decisions regarding access to the Nature Trust lands.

Weed, when?

A long time ago, when I was young, I smoked marijuana and I inhaled. I liked the result, as I had completed my drinking years due to becoming really tired of those hangovers. Then life interfered and forty-five years went past. No smoking of any kind and hardly ever any alcohol.

Now, I’m thinking that it would be nice to have some Cannabis sativa around the house for occasional use. Not the smoking kind, mind you, but I’ve recently learned about marijuana oil which seems less damaging to the body; certainly to the lungs. In addition, I have never tried one of those brownies. I feel that the restrictions placed on alcohol consumption should be enacted for cannabis use, especially when operating a vehicle, vessel or airplanes, as I believe they are.

I remember the first time I got high. I left the friend that gave it to me and drove home in rush hour Toronto traffic. I still remember the many ‘You are number one with me’ salutes I received from the other drivers as they swerved around me since I was driving about 15 miles per hour on Danforth Avenue. All right, you say, what a stupid, dangerous thing to do. I fully agree and would never consider doing such a thing ever again. However, in the privacy of my home, using a non-inhalation grass choice; what’s the harm?

My opinion is that alcohol misuse has done great damage to families and accident victims over the years. If cannabis is to continue to be banned for its perceived menace, then alcohol should be banned due to its proven menace. I understand that alcohol use is encouraged by the government because of the tax revenue garnered.

If the social and economic cost were truly factored in, however, I’m sure we would find that the booze-buying balance sheet would look much less positive. So then, if alcohol consumption is favoured by those who govern us, why not cannabis? Legalizing grass would remove an income source from criminals, allow product standards to be required, and probably lower the price. The same age restrictions which apply to alcohol consumption would apply. I envision stores with a name like “glass and grass” starting up. At police road blocks it would be easy enough to discover someone who smoked dope as the smell clings for quite a while.

Well, maybe I’ll see the day.

Kids learn how to make soup

Silver Creek Elementary has a good thing going on with its Souper Fridays. All students in all grade levels take part. On Thursdays, students prepare fresh veggies for the soup that is to be served to all students on Friday, along with milk and a bun/bread or bannock made fresh, thanks to one of the school parents.

The soups are all made from an all-natural gluten-free soup base, and chock full of kid-friendly veggies. Each week a new ingredient is added to the repertoire. The school is also growing its own herbs to add to the soups.

Older children slice and dice, and the younger students mix the ingredients, all using good manners. Each

student sets his/her own proper place setting, placemat and all. After lunch, each student washes his/her own dishes for the following Friday.

The soup is prepaid for by families at the beginning of the month, with the proceeds going towards new gym equipment for the school.

Save-On-Foods has provided some financial support to the new program. If you would like to help Silver Creek Elementary School with their soup program, please call Lori Webster at 250-832-8282.

Pictured above: Dakota and Nathan enjoy some homemade soup at Silver Creek Elementary School.

The most popular soup is Taco Soup.

Letters to the Editor

Price of gas a reason to leave town

One of last week’s newspapers contained an article setting forth “10 good reasons to keep your money local,” which in principle, I do try to support. Unfortunately, there remains one glaring negative reason, that remains hard to ignore and continues to negate shopping local.... namely, the price of gas!

With Sicamous at $113.9 across the board, and Salmon Arm at $111.9 (again, across the board), one merely has to drive to Kamloops where gas is currently 89.9 to 92.9 – a savings of 0.22 to 0.24 per litre. As for those poor unfortunate souls who have to burn premium in their

vehicles, the difference is even greater – 0.99 vs $127.9! Not only will your trip more than pay for itself, but you will be rewarded with a wider selection of stores, deli’s, and restaurants, and also with businesses that actually carry inventory as advertised. Why would anyone not enjoy a day out, when it actually pays for you to do so? Yes, it is important to support our local business people, but we too as retirees and pensioners must also look after our own support! Let’s get our gas prices in line again.

Turn brrrs into purrs

Winter has hit BC, and as temperatures across the province drop, the BC SPCA is encouraging people who are thinking about adopting a furry family member to consider cats, and turn brrrs into purrs during its latest adoption event (already underway): through to November 30, all adult cat adoption fees are 50 per cent off. The half-price promotion is presented by Hill’s® Science Diet®.

“It’s cold outside. We’re reminding British Columbians that when one cat is adopted, it frees up shelter space and allows us to bring another cat in from the frigid winter conditions experienced in much of the province,” says Lorie Chortyk, BC SPCA general manager of community relations. “The society takes in several thousands of cats each year – right now, there’s more than 1,400 felines in BC SPCA care who need loving, forever homes.”

Homeless cats are a major issue in

B.C., often suffering from injury, illness, predator attacks and frostbite.

Illegal abandonment and animals who aren’t spayed or neutered contribute to the problem, as well as cats without permanent identification like a microchip or a tattoo, who are never reunited with their guardians.

Chortyk notes the adoption fee includes vaccinations, spaying or neutering, permanent ID, any necessary medical care, and internal and external parasite treatment. Normal adoption counselling and matching takes place to ensure animals go to a good home, and Petsecure provides six weeks of free pet insurance. All cats are microchipped, and for only $12 annually or a $45 lifetime fee, the animal will be registered in the province-wide BC Pet Registry, bcpetregistry.ca, to help ensure if a pet is lost, he can be found and reunited with his family.

People Places Things: Will Henry (Jemaine Clement) is a graphic novelist and a professor in NYC. At his twin girls’ fifth birthday party, Will’s life is turned upside down when he walks in on the mother of his children cheating on him.

Now one year later, Will is still single and trying to put his life back together. In this thoughtful comedy, Will is forced to navigate the unknown landscape of single fatherhood and dating, when his talented student Kat (Jessica Williams) sets Will up with her accomplished mother Diane (Regina Hall); all the while remaining an inspiration for his students and coming to terms with himself both as a father as an artist.

People Places Things shows at 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 28th, at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

That Sugar Film: This spirited documentary features one man’s journey as he embarks on an experiment to record the effects of a high sugar diet on a healthy body.

Marionette Winery

At Marionette, wine is art. All the elements come together in the creation of fine wine and at Marionette we see that as an amazing process that perpetually inspires us as winemakers.

We are the first winery built within the city limits of Salmon Arm, just a couple of minutes from downtown.

The winemakers, Jamie Smith and Amanda Eastwood, each have a BSc in Enology and Viticulture and were trained in France by a well-known Bordeaux wine researcher. The Marionette property sits on a warm, south-facing slope that is exceptional in both its terroir and its aspect. Jamie and Amanda’s vision as winemakers is to craft beautiful and unique wines that are pure expressions of British Columbia vineyards. They also feel strongly drawn to local arts and cul-

ture. The Marionette property itself was once home to a roaming theatre troupe that crafted their own marionettes. They travelled throughout the interior of British Columbia in horsedrawn painted caravans, giving free performances of live theatre wherever they went. In our wines we continue that spirit of commitment to beauty, craftsmanship, quality and uniqueness. This December we are releasing for the first time our signature red wine “Pulcinella” which is intended to be our artisanal flagship wine. Come on up to Marionette this Christmas season and celebrate with us the beginning of something beautiful – a wine that will only ever belong here, with us, at Marionette.

Larch Hills Winery

WHITE

Larch Hills Winery is a land-based, family-run vineyard and winery owned by Jack and Hazel Manser. All of their product is proudly made from 100 per cent British Columbia grapes, either from the main vineyard just south of Salmon Arm (also the location of the winery and family home), or from contracted vineyards farther south in the Okanagan Valley. All wines are made and bottled at the premises at Salmon Arm. Larch Hills Winery specializes in cool climate grape growing, and has varieties that are generally not available in other parts of B.C. In 1987, the land was total bush. Nobody had grown European varietal wine grapes this far north before. In 1992, after experimenting to find the right types of grape for the local climate, planting began in

earnest. The winery opened in April 1997 with a small release of what has become a signature wine for them – Ortega (vintage 1995). Since then, many other varieties have been added to the list of releases.

Visitors are welcome each day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for tasting and taking in the superb view of the valleys below. You are also welcome to self-tour around the vineyard. In winter, call ahead to check road conditions.

Jack and Hazel are hosting a Christmas Open House this year on Saturday and Sunday, December 5th and 6th, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. both days.

Shop for your beverages for the holiday season. Hot wine and delicious goodies will be served, as well as wine tasting samples.

Recline Ridge Vineyards & Winery For this coming holiday season, and all of the wonderful meals that are planned, Recline Ridge can definitely provide the perfect wine accompaniment. What Christmas dinner would be complete without a wine to pair with the roast turkey? Recline’s Shuswap Serenade is a proven favourite. As an alternative, for those who may prefer a red wine with their festive meal, Recline Ridge’s “Just Being Frank” would be an excellent choice,

Ovino Winery

Ovino Winery is located in Salmon Valley. Owners John and Catherine Koopmans, daughter Jessica, and her husband Don Gawley, helping with the day-to-day operations, along with other family and friends helping at harvest time, surely makes this a family project. Be sure to come by their open house on December 5th & 6th, as well as December 12th & 13th, 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Ovino holiday picks: 2014 Pinot Tramino - Delightful for sipping as well as a companion with lighter foods and white meats, this wine is finished off dry. Floral aromas and a slight spicy note characterize this wine.

2014 Momento – tantalizing to red and white wine lovers alike. Perfect for all your holiday entertaining.

2014 Marechal Foch – Silky smooth texture supported by lively acidity makes this a perfect companion for most foods, especially red meats and strong cheeses. Aromas and flavours of black cherry, black currant and toasty vanilla. This wine is great with a wide variety of foods.

as would the “Make Me Blush” rosestyle wine, especially with that holiday ham.

With the excellent selection of wines available, there is definitely something at Recline Ridge for every palate and food-pairing possibility.

Recline Ridge will be open on December 5th and 6th, as well as December 12th & 13th and 19th & 20th.

Wildlife update

For many folks who reside in rural settings, even here in our Shuswap, it’s not at all uncommon to have coyotes, the odd raccoon, or even a deer or moose stroll through the back yard.

There are times when even these critters can create quite a stir. But we are compassionate about our wildlife, and with such fast communication with a smart phone or other device, when a critter does odd activities like the bear that has a swim in a backyard pool, or a cougar that has a spat with a cat through the backdoor window pane, it’s interesting to watch.

The small chubby black bear in the pear tree, down at the coast, caught the attention of many folks who rather enjoyed his antics. He really fooled the CO’s, who were going to remove him from his perch after he’d been there for two weeks or more, but down he came, strolling off into the woods nearby on his own steam.

Now we have a cute sign in Castlegar, BC, regarding a turkey crossing. No doubt these big birds get accustomed to using the crossing, after a few get smucked on the road. These are grabbed real quick by passing hunters driving by, and will be ready for the oven in an hour or two. It’s called attitude, and turkeys seem to be boss hog of their domain.

A few seasons ago, I received a call from a chap out on Mallory road near Gardom Lake, saying he had nine wild turkeys in his back yard, and they had just demolished the elderly neighbour’s garden. Should we release them to multiply? I made a quick call to Doug Jury, big game biologist in Kamloops. He was adamant about not releasing them, as they can be destructive to gardens, chase school kids coming from the school bus, and eat the dog’s kibbles off the back porch, as we saw in Creston on a turkey hunt there several seasons ago. A lady had called the CO’s, saying there was a flock of turkeys devouring her tulips, etc. CO Arnie DeBoon advised us to get there quick.

The big birds had flown down valley, to land in another person’s back yard.

The Creston population of turkeys has taken a hit now, ‘cause the bobcats are snatching them out of their roosting trees at night. As far as bears go...It’s 2:00 a.m. and Freddy is standing on the sundeck, empty wine bottle in hand, and bare naked. It’s late October, and with the frosty air nipping at his extremities, he’s scolding a little black bear, telling it to leave the

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley back yard. He fired the wine bottle at it, saying “I know you, you were here last year.” The little rascal had just gotten into the deep freeze and was munchin’ on a salmon fillet, after scattering other contents across the yard.

Now Esther was up, calling his name. Now she appeared naked beside Freddy. “Freddy, what are you doing out here like that in the freezing cold?”

“We had a bear in the freezer, and uh, there he is, eatin.’” It was quite a sight, with the two of them yelling at the bear, then it was Esther’s turn.

“Hey you, get outta here!

Go, on, get the hell outta here,” she yelled. As Freddy studied the little guy’s eyes, trying to figure out its thoughts through the flashlight’s dim glow, he began to have thoughts of his own.

Out of ignorance or fear, we jump to the worst possible scenarios to justify our aggressive acts toward bears or other wild critters for that matter. Then he turned to the now shivering Esther and said, “Aw, just leave him be,” more philosophically than he realized. “He’ll leave when he’s done.”

Here and there in the Shuswap Last Sunday, Earl Bloom and I attended the Region# 3 BC Wildlife Federation meeting in Kamloops. For many hunters and anglers, and other outdoor enthusiasts who do not belong to a fish and game club, or the Federation, there’s a large number of topics that appear on the table – some good, others an uphill battle, regarding such subjects as Aboriginal affairs, parks, land use access, forestry and wilderness, etc. On the upside, the standing committee on finance in the Legislature has given the green light for more money for BC Parks. This hopefully will translate into more rangers and better management.

Moneys from fishing and hunting will be put back for wildlife management starting in 2016.

Mining has been a real bone of contention, with another spill at the Polley Mine. The Thompson Steelhead enhancement meeting revealed that nothing has been accomplished so far. Other topics included First Nations, communal hunting, Monte Lake, Larch Hills – all hard on moose and deer. Wolves have been a major concern for our wildlife populations as well.

Instead of hearing me talk about it, get the big picture with Wolftracker.ca.

Lakeshore News travels to More beer for sale

Black Press Craft beer lovers should soon find more local varieties in B.C. government liquor stores.

The stores are reserving dedicated shelf space starting Nov. 30 for beer from local microbreweries that has not typically been offered in government stores.

Exactly what’s sold will vary by location.

There are more than 100 eligible microbreweries – producing no more than 15,000 hectolitres a year – and each store is expected to carry up to 12 currently unlisted varieties from the nearest breweries.

Food drive

Nuevo Vallarta, MX

Margo Westaway traveled to Nuevo Vallarta in Mexico (around the corner from Puerto Vallarta) during the first week of November. She went with her mom and her teenage daughter on her school break. They were there just after Hurricane Patricia hit the area. The highlight for Margo, other than just being in a beautiful part of the world, was a day trip to a funky surfing town called Sayulita, about one hour north of Neuvo Vallarta.

Margo receives $10 for having her picture printed and is entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2015.

Travels To payments must be picked up in person at Lakeshore News, 161 Hudson Ave NE.

This Friday, Hub International aims to benefit the less fortunate by also sponsoring a food drive.

Please support this important cause by bringing non-perishable food items to the Silverbacks’ game against the Vernon Vipers on Friday.

Clarence (Clem) John Froess Clarence (Clem) John Froess was born in Carmel, Saskatchewan on August 12, 1938. He passed away with his family by his side at Vernon Jubilee Hospital on November 19th, 2015 at the age of 77.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Margaret; his two sons, Jim of Enderby and Bob (Nancy) of Kamloops, daughter Karen (Thomas) of Enderby, his brothers Dick of Vernon, Dave (Beth) of Salmon Arm, his sister Edna (Dave) Jackson of Blue Ridge, AB, his sister-in-law Luella of Kitimat, and numerous nieces and nephews.

During his lifetime, Clem worked as a faller, forklift operator, carpenter, and a farmer. He liked to participate in local sports, playing ball and old timer hockey. Most of all, he had a passion for the outdoors and enjoyed camping, fishing, snowmobiling, and hiking with friends (and pancake breakfasts).

He will always be known for his ability to work hard, his willingness to help, and his boyish grin.

A memorial mass will be held on Saturday, November 28th at 11:00 a.m. at St. Ann’s Catholic Church, Enderby B.C. with Father Tony Ackerman, Celebrant. Reception to follow.

Obituaries

Leonard Skulmoski 1940 - 2015 Leonard James Skulmoski was born December 22, 1947 in Osage, Saskatchewan, the youngest of a family of 10.

He was predeceased by siblings Eddy, Carrie, Alvin, Frank, and Albert.

At his sudden passing he leaves to mourn his wife of 44 years, Helen; sons, Jason (Ana), Scott (Lindsay), and Blair (Emily), grandchildren; Iris, Celia, Eliza, and Luke, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. There is one surviving brother (Rudy), and surviving sisters are Frances, Bertha, and Marie.

Len worked as a secretary-treasurer for several school divisions. Our family lived in the communities of Kinistino, SK; Lanigan, SK; Hope, BC, and Nipawin, SK. We (Len and Helen), retired in Sorrento, BC and made good friends in each location.

Len’s interest in computers dates back to the very first personal computers, which led to him writing a simple payroll program. The software for that program was made available to anyone who wanted it, free of charge. Computers were a passion in retirement, as well. As he learned more about how they operate, he was able to help other people with problems that can occur and derived real satisfaction from restoring “sick” systems back to being functional tools.

Other hobbies included playing guitar and accordion, other musical instruments, watching kids play hockey, and being involved as his children and grandchildren grew.

Len accepted Jesus as his Saviour and he has gone home to be with Him now.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., (250) 833-1129.

1929 - 2015 Ian Windley Duncan passed away peacefully at home on November 13, 2015, at the age of 86. He is survived by his wife, Maureen Stickney; children, Maggie (Todd), Mary (Hans), Bill (Olga), and Tom (Janet); stepsons, Greg (Sudabeh) and Gerald (Kerri); 15 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren; as well as numerous cousins across North America, Scotland, and Australia. Ian is predeceased by his son, John (2011); his great grandson, Josias (2008); and his former wife, Eva Robertson (1996).

Before moving to the Shuswap in 1992, Ian enjoyed an influential career as a civil engineer. Employed by the University of Calgary in 1964, he retired in 1989 as Director of the Physical Plant. The major building projects leading up to the 1988 Winter Olympics were a highlight for him, especially the unique design and building challenges presented with building the Olympic Oval. Upon retirement, he was recognized with the title “Director Emeritus,” and in 1994, he was further honoured with the prestigious “Order of the University of Calgary.”

An intelligent, patient, and steadfast man, Ian was a consistent and reassuring presence in the lives of his children as they were growing up and beyond. His efforts to connect with the family’s roots in Scotland, North America and Australia have left a lasting legacy for the younger generations of Duncans. Maureen and Ian enjoyed travels to various destinations near and far, often drawn by family: Scotland, England, Ireland, Australia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ottawa, the east coast of Canada, many parts of BC, and around Salmon Arm. His Salmon Arm community will remember Ian as a devoted husband and an avid supporter of local businesses and institutions, including the Shuswap Film Society, the Shuswap Art Gallery Association, and the Shuswap Community Foundation. They may also know him as someone who fixed a problem door, changed a light fixture, performed wizardry with mortar and trowel, or as the guy with just the right tool or rightsized bolt for the job at hand.

A Celebration of Ian’s Life will be held in Salmon Arm in the early evening of December 28, 2015. For more details, please contact ianduncan.remembered@gmail. com or Genean at 1-250-833-4052. If you are unable to attend, we invite you write a tribute and forward it to the same email address or by mail to: Ian Duncan Tribute, 47 Krick Road, Salmon Arm, BC V1E 3C6.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ian’s memory to your choice of the three organizations listed above.

Liquor rules eased

Black Press The latest change to B.C. liquor policy loosens the rules for restaurant goers who just want to order a drink, without food.

They’re now allowed to sit anywhere in the restaurant instead of being relegated to a separate lounge area or feeling pressured to order food.

That’s expected to provide some more flexibility to restaurants that no longer need to have defined lounge areas.

“This is a small change that will make a big impact,” said Ian Tostenson, president of the BC Restaurant and Foodservice Association. “The restaurant can open up more physical space that can be used to seat customers who are dining or enjoying a cocktail.”

The rules for music and comedy performances are also relaxed. Restaurants no longer have to apply for a permit to host entertainment, as long as patrons aren’t participating in the show.

foodsalive

by Afke Zonderland

The modern SAD diet of processed, irradiated, pasteurized, refined, and genetically altered food is marching through our gut at ever increasing numbers, carrying weapons that continually blow holes in our natural defenses. This army consists of the millions of tons of pesticides and herbicides that are used on big and some notso-big agri-farms. Our soils have been denatured and stripped of essential minerals and bacteria.

Food is often stored for months at a time and gassed to ripen.

Preservatives, food colouring, fake ingredients, and tons and tons of sugar, derived from GMO corn or beets, act like hand grenades on our intestinal lining. Our body does not even recognize some of these foods

and is so busy making the best of things as this mess is coming down the pipe in ever-larger quantities of empty calories, that it lacks time and energy for healing and repair.

Steroids, antibiotics, medicines of all strengths and purposes to help manage the symptoms offer temporary relief at best and do more damage at worst. Drinking chlorinated water and washing hands with anti-bacterial soap throughout the day kills off our protective bacteria too. We might not think of these life-saving practices as chemicals that end up inside of us, but they really do. Your skin is porous and your lungs inhale the air you breathe without distinction.

Next week – second-hand antibiotics

Bone broth

1. Save and freeze bones collected from your meals. There are some local butchers that will be happy to supply you with farmraised animal bones.

2. Add spring water and simmer with onions, carrots, a hot pepper and celery, plus a few bay leaves and sea salt.

3. Simmer for at least 4 hours.

4. Discard bones and vegetables. Drink a large mug before every meal. You could give your gut a break, and only drink the broth for a day or two. Go for walks, breathe in fresh forest air and take note of all that you are thankful for.
