Restored sleigh a true gem

By Deborah Chapman, curator Picture R.J. Haney Heritage Village mid-winter, blanketed by a fresh snowfall. One of the volunteers, Rosemary Wilson, has shovelled the driveway. A truck pulls up. Unannounced, Danley Carriage and Wheel is about to deliver the last of the vehicles that its owner, Dwayne Danley, has contracted to restore. The vehicle is historic. It is a cutter – a small horse-drawn sleigh.

The project, which started almost a year and a half earlier, is coming to a close.

Danley takes General Manager Susan Mackie through his restoration. He is a pro. He shows Susan the parts he has replaced and saved for the curator. He knows she’ll want them.

Susan marvels. There are Robertson screws.

She knows her history.

The screws are old enough for this restoration.

The seat has been repaired and reupholstered in a rich red-burgundy fabric. Susan

smiles. Wouldn’t you just like to put on a fur coat and a muff and go for a ride?

The artefact will be on display in the building we affectionately call the Hanna Shed. It is a modified salt box style single gable building that came from Hanna and Hanna orchard. The democrat, doctor’s buggy and a few other cutters sit there now. A total of four vehicles are now restored.

The Shuswap Community Foundation

funded this project.

“We’re so grateful,” says Susan.

“With all the work we do taking care of the buildings and with the Montebello project starting this month at the Village, we don’t have the resources to restore these artefacts.”

People need to see what a lovely job Dwayne Danley did. The curator, yours truly, is making plans to take this cutter on the road to town. I am hoping to arrange for the cutter and maybe a fur coat or two to be at the Mall at Piccadilly for Heritage Week. See you in the third week of February!

In last week’s Friends and Neighbours column we stated that Sheila Bibby will be the first female president of the Legion, Br. #62, but there have been two previous female presidents.

Comrade Jean Watson and Comrade Carol Mikkelsen each served president of Branch 62 in the 1980s.

We regret the error and any inconvenience it may have caused.

In addition, the following information was not provided: Volunteer help from the membership is welcome, and volunteers must be members to be covered under the Legion’s insurance policy.

The public is welcome in the branch for certain events.

Realistic resolutions

As we rang in the New Year, many of us created a lofty resolution to begin 2016 refreshed and committed. Whether it was a fitness, financial, spiritual, work or interpersonal resolution, by late January as many as 80% of these resolutions have flopped. Many began by internalizing a sense of hopefulness and perseverance, but now feel faulty and unworthy to meet their goals. However, the problem is not inherently the person – it’s the type of goals and resolutions we set that set us up for failure.

Many resolutions are lofty ambitions such as “go to the gym five times per week.” If you already attend the gym three times per week, this could be a fair goal. But if you want to go from couch potato to an active person, starting small is the best way to achieve success.

Major behavioural and lifestyle changes take time to achieve, as well as many compounding behaviours and decisions in a row. To test a goal’s likelihood of success, you may want to compare it to SMART criteria (Specific, Meaningful and Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely.)

Give yourself a timeframe to work towards your goal, and plan accordingly. Larger goals are OK to make, but breaking them down into smaller SMART goals increases the likelihood of you closing 2016 knowing you met your resolution.

Laugh it up

Research indicates that people who laugh a lot are much healthier and may live longer than those who don’t find time to chuckle. A good, deep belly laugh can provide your body and mind with a great workout. Laughter can cause blood pressure to drop, blood to become oxygenated and endorphins to kick in, which can improve mood. And that’s just the beginning. Laughing can help reduce stress and promote stronger relationships between people who laugh together. Data indicates children around the age of six laugh the most, laughing roughly 300 times per day, while adults average only 15 to 100 laughs per day.

Smile People helps all ages

For over six years, the Smile People dental hygiene clinic has been providing dental maintenance services.

During their fifth annual Children’s Oral Health Drive, more children were treated to dental hygiene services than the year before. They are less likely to need repairs later, and manage better if they do.

The Smile People specializes in providing individualized oral health maintenance, with measurable results. Adults who keep up with their maintenance schedule enjoy more oral health and less dental costs.

They are the longest BC partici-

pants in the National February Gift from the Heart event, featuring no-cost dental hygiene services for those who otherwise cannot afford them.

They offer Interim Stabilization Therapy, which reduces pain, preserves tooth structure, and creates stability.

Since 2014, their Senior Smile Program has offered dental hygiene services to low-income seniors who sign up through the Salvation Army or the Churches’ Thrift Store.

Direct insurance billing is available, including Ministry coverage and the Healthy Kids program, as well as in-house financial plans.

Kids and antibiotics

Antibiotics are by far the most commonly prescribed medication for children, accounting for nearly 25% of all prescriptions. While there are instances when this medication may save a child’s life, new research is now showing the prescribing of these drugs should be very carefully considered.

In a study published in May 2015 in the journal Cell Host & Microbe researchers from the University of Minnesota assessed how antibiotic use in children causes damaging changes to the gut bacteria (called dysbiosis); subsequently leading to diseases later in life. This is a very significant study which should influence antibiotic prescribing habits of medical doctors. It showed the wrong balance of gut microbes has been tied to serious diseases later in life such as infections, allergies and autoimmune diseases, and even obesity.

Researchers know dysbiosis leads to allergies because in a normal, healthy state, the bacteria help the immune cells to develop and mature. If the “good bacteria” are not present due to antibiotic use, when an allergen enters the body again, the immune system over-reacts and allergies develop. What is even more important to note is if the proper bacteria are reestablished at a later date, the immune cells may still overreact due to earlier changes in development.

The connection between obesity and antibiotics is also now recognized. Dysbiosis is shown to cause a disruption of the balance of healthy vs unhealthy fatty acids in

the body, which then disrupts normal metabolism, leading to obesity.

If you regularly follow my articles I often discuss the importance of maintaining the correct balance of healthy bacteria in the gut. There actually are more bacteria cells in our intestine than the number of cells making up the entire body! It is important to understand that having the wrong balance of bacteria will impact many aspects of health in adults and children. This research further supports the importance of seriously considering giving a child even a single dose of antibiotics and doing everything possible before resorting to antibiotic use. If you have given your child antibiotics in the past, it’s essential to restore their healthy gut flora through probiotic supplementation. Remember, antibiotics wipe out everything– good and bad bacteria. We NEED good bacteria for good health.

Over the past 19 years in practice I regularly adjust children that have/ had suffered with chronic ear infections. Gentle instrument adjustments performed on a child’s cervical spine helps restore correct nerve function to the inner ear. Clearing the nervous system of subluxation via cervical adjustments will allow their ears to drain correctly without the use of antibiotics or surgical tube insertion.

If you have a child suffering with ear infections or throat infections we may be able to help. Dr. Warren Gage at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic has a special interest in pregnancy and pediatrics and can be reached at (250) 803-0224.

Opening our eyes

By Nan Dickie It’s mid-winter. The days are still short. Children don’t want to get up.

“Mom, it’s dark out! Let me sleep.”

Before we get home from work, the sun has set. This makes some people sad, and gives others SAD (seasonal affective disorder). For those folks who have a predisposition to recurring depression (called clinical depression), or episodes of mania and depression (called bi-polar disorder), winter is a common time for those conditions to take hold.

Clinical depression and bi-polar disorder are not well understood by many - possibly most - of us. Yet each of us knows at least one person who lives with one of these disorders, which are, in fact, illnesses. That one person you know may be you.

In an effort to broaden our understanding of these illnesses, I am going to write a series of articles in this newspaper, one article each week, which will offer not only understanding, but will lead us all to more compassion for those who experience these mental challenges.

First I will outline how to access mental health services in Salmon Arm. What avenues for service are open to us? How do we decide what services to seek?

I will then move on to the face of depression – what do clinical depression and bi-polar disorder look like?

Can you tell that someone is depressed

Friday, January 22, 2016 - Lakeshore News A5

Understanding clinical depression and bi-polar disorder

or is experiencing mania? How does clinical depression differ from “regular” depression?

Next, learn what the experience is like for one experiencing an episode of his or her disorder. What are the symptoms?

Does everyone experience the same symptoms?

Armed with this new understanding, you will probably be able to assess whether you, or someone you care for, is experiencing clinical depression or mania. How can you find others to share your experience with?

Fortunately for us, there is a depression support group in Salmon Arm for people with these two disorders and/or anxiety. Learn about these meetings.

What does participation in this group offer you? Why would you go? The motto of the group is “We’d rather share with strangers who understand than with family or friends who don’t,” and we know this to be true. Those strangers quickly become special friends.

If you are not a person who experiences depression or mania, how do you respond to someone you care for when they say to you, “I am severely depressed.” What should you say and

Celebrate literacy

The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) is joining Decoda Literacy Solutions, BC’s provincial literacy organization, to reach out to families across the province and to encourage all family members to take part in play-based literacy activities during Family Literacy Week 2016 (January 24-31).

Parents and caregivers are their children’s first and most important teachers. “A typical child spends 900 hours a year in school and 7,800 hours outside school, often with their parents. Which teacher has the bigger influence?” says Jim Trelease in The Read Aloud Handbook.

Recent studies show that engaging in informal family learning in the home and in the community has a direct positive impact on children and parents. “Children are active learners.

When children play, they are experimenting, observing, listening, making mistakes and trying again. Parents who participate in playbased family learning directly and positively affect the language and literacy development of their children,” says Decoda’s CEO, Brenda Le Clair.

“Play is vital in children’s lives. It is important for healthy physical, social, emotional and cognitive development. It helps children make sense of the world around them,” adds Le Clair.

Parents may ask: what are play-based literacy activities?

“Families can build literacy skills through every day activities - playing games together, folding the laundry, making a shopping list, storytelling, doing crafts together or going for a walk outside and talking about what they see,” Le Clair notes.

“The benefits go beyond the child,” says Le Clair. “When parents engage in their child’s literacy development, they build stronger bonds and are more likely to continue to take an active role in their children’s learning. Something as simple as reading together for 15 minutes a day

not say? What should you do and not do?

Then there is the topic of medication.

How are these disorders treated medically? Why do so many people who have bi-polar disorder choose, at some point, to take a vacation from their medication? How can we encourage compliance?

Next we will look at the language we use when talking about clinical depression and bi-polar disorder. The words we use sometimes misrepresent the situation. Find out why we should not use words like “enemy” or “infliction” to describe these disorders.

Finally, with our newfound knowledge and understanding, we will look at the ongoing issue of stigma. How can we look at these disorders anew? How does our change in attitude affect those individuals who experience clinical depression and/or mania?

What gives me the right to write on all of the above? I am not a medical professional, nor am I a therapist. However, I am an expert in living with clinical depression for more years than I care to mention - but I will: fifty years. Since I was in my mid-teens, I have experi-

In addition to informal learning in the home, there are many family literacy programs across BC. The benefits to families who attend these programs are numerous: parents learn to support their children’s learning; they may become interested in developing their own literacy skills or pursuing further education and training; and they form social and support networks.

To learn more about family literacy programs in the North Okanagan/Shuswap or to arrange an interview, contact: Darcy Calkins at 250463-4555 or admin@shuswapliteracy.ca or visit shuswapliteracy.ca or decoda.ca.

enced debilitating episodes of clinical depression every five or six years for a year at a time.

I started writing about living with my illness in the mid nineties, and my book, “A Map for the Journey: Living Meaningfully with Recurring Depression” was published in 2001. It is available at the public library, in local book stores and online. I continue to write on this topic. As well, I have been the facilitator of the local depression support group since it started three and a half years ago. Garry Hall was co-facilitator with me for the first two years. For information on where and when we meet, please consult the “Support Group Meetings and Hotlines” list in this newspaper. Get in touch with me if you would like more information.

Take a journey with me over the next eight weeks as we open our eyes to new learning, as we uncover misconceptions, as we learn what we can do to support people who live with these difficult challenges, and what to do if we, ourselves, happen to be one of those people.

GOVERNMENT MANDATED TEACHERS TO EXPLORE CURRICULUM CHANGES Teachers are the ones who will be doing homework on February 22!

The most significant curriculum update in over a decade for B.C. Public Schools is being piloted this year and will be fully implemented in the upcoming school year. At the January 12 meeting of School District #83, Director of Instruction Carl Cooper reported to trustees that a group of teachers and principals is putting together a plan for the February 22 non-instructional day when teachers will be meeting to explore the renewed curriculum. This is the first of two days that the government has mandated for teachers to explore and familiarize themselves with the curriculum changes.

SCHOOL DISTRICT TO SELL TWO PROPERTIES The school district will list two vacant properties. The former board office in downtown Salmon Arm will be on the market for $800,000 and the former South Canoe School will be for sale for $500,000. Secretary-treasurer Nicole Bittante reported at the Jan. 12 board meeting that the district will be working with Colliers International because it has extensive experience selling surplus properties for school districts.

BACKPACKS PREPARED FOR REFUGEE STUDENTS School District 83 has “welcome” backpacks ready for the refugee students that are expected. The school district has heard that seven to eight different groups are working on sponsoring a refugee family. With help from Staples, the backpacks the new students will receive include various school supplies and a Me to We T-shirt.www. metowe.com/about-us/our-story.

Other planning is also in place. Morag Asquith, Director of Instruction Student Learning, will be overseeing the placement of the students and setting up English language programs for the newcomers.

BEST OF THE SHUSWAP PIE BAKING CONTEST On Saturday, Feb. 20th, the 20th annual best of the Shuswap pie baking contest will be held at Piccadilly. It is part of Heritage Week, February 15 to 20 by R.J. Haney Heritage Village. Thanks to the many volunteers and fundraising events, last year this week-long event at Piccadilly raised over $30,000 for the Village.

WHEATGRASS HAS NEW, ORGANIC PRODUCT I was looking for an alternative to eating daily salads or juicing veggies and fruits and freezing the drink in plastic containers for daily consumption. I didn’t want to switch to powdered greens, I wanted greens in a capsule. Jude in Askew’s Uptown Natural Foods & Wellness Centre suggested a product that was promoted earlier that day:

Swheatgrass. It was frozen organic wheatgrass in the form of small pucks, each sealed in plastic, and in packages of 28 pucks. Excellent!

Liane and Troy Kaltiainen of Vernon have been producing wheatgrass for over 15 years and selling it across the country. Now they are producing an organic product called swheatgrass. Read about it on www.swheatgrass. ca. Shuswap Health Foods and Askew’s Uptown carry it.

Uptown has it next to frozen juices.

WHEATGRASS RESEARCH HALTED

BY PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY IN 1940s Did you know that eating two ounces of wheatgrass is equivalent to eating four pounds of green vegetables?

Wheatgrass will quickly cleanse the liver. It’s a nutritional powerhouse.

Swheatgrass is 100 per cent organic wheatgrass and is gluten-free. The organic crops start with premium-select, non-GMO wheat berries and are grown in only the highest-quality mineral-rich soil.

KASLO SOURDOUGH PASTA SOLD HERE I spotted a tall display of packages of pasta in the aisle in front of cashier 5 at Askew’s downtown. With it were five laminated pages of information on the products, attached firmly to one of the legs of the display. I didn’t read them, I went to www.microsour.com and read about Pasta Fermentata.

German-born Silvio Lettrari started Kaslo Sourdough Bakery in 1993, with an outdoor oven. Two years later, with the help of his wife, he expanded to a fulltime yearround wholesale operation, selling their sourdough breads through retail stores throughout the West Kootenays. In 2013, Silvio invented sourdough pasta and coined it ‘Pasta Fermentata’, the very first sourdough pasta in the world. It is soy, nut, sugar, MSG and dairy free and without any hidden additives. The business has turned into a full on family business with all three kids (one son and two daughters) actively involved. The packages at Askew’s contain 11 different flour combinations and several different shapes. They are sold in Western Canada, Australia and soon in the USA. FOREIGN MEN ATTACKED WOMEN IN COLOGNE German Chancellor Angela Merkel voiced outrage at the sexual assaults and thefts that male gangs inflicted on women in Cologne on New Year’s Eve. Some 516 criminal complaints have been filed over the events of New Year’s Eve, 40 per cent of them for sexual assault, according to police. The men were thought to be refugees or asylum-seekers.

“MEN SHOULD STAY HOME” GOLDA MEIR When Golda Meir was Prime Minister of Israel, a cabinet minister asked her to establish a curfew for women to end a series of rapes. She refused and said: “It is the men who are attacking the women. If there is a curfew, let the men stay home.”

DYING PERSON CAN APPLY TO JUDGE TO END LIFE SOONER THAN FOUR MONTHS The Supreme Court has added four months to the Feb. 6 deadline to produce a new law on doctor-assisted death.

Opponents to the Liberal government’s requested sixmonth extension said that would simply prolong the suffering of many.

In granting the four-month extension, the Supreme Court said someone who is suffering unbearably can make a personal application to a court to ask for a doctor-assisted death sooner.

– The Province, Jan. 17, page 24 CAMPBELLS WILL DISCLOSE GM INGREDIENTS Campbells is the first major food company that will disclose genetically modified ingredients. It announced that it is officially supporting mandatory labeling of GMOs, and it is withdrawing from any coalitions of other food and chemical companies like Monsanto that oppose GMO labeling.

In addition to its namesake soups, Campbell’s owns popular brands including Pepperidge Farm, Prego, V8 and more — all of which will soon carry labels disclosing whether they contain ingredients made from genetically modified crops.

KEEP THROWING AWAY JUNK Junk is something you’ve kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

AN EASY WAY TO STOP NIGHT COUGHING If you have a cough, rub Vicks VapoRub liberally on the soles of your feet, pull on a pair of socks and go to bed. Within five minutes the coughing will stop and allow you to sleep for a few hours without coughing.

Works 100% of the time and is more effective than very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting. A.M. Radio had a man talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good, due to the chemicals in them. This method of using Vicks VapoRub on the soles of the feet was found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831

Too much sand on the roads

Is it just me or are we sanding the roads too much? We live on a corner lot in Blind Bay so we get to watch the sanding process. I realize that there are many types of drivers, which requires a lot of sand and salt; however, the amount that is going down is out of control. All this salt turns into a nasty dust every spring and also drains into our lovely lake. Could we not use it more sparingly?

Letters to the Editor Goods for goats

Hi, my name is Destaney Dean. I am a Grade 8 student at Carlin Elementary Middle School. In October 2014, I was one of a few very lucky students to be picked to go to We Day BC, in Vancouver.

We Day is an inspiring day in which thousands of students from our province gather together in one large building with a whole bunch of celebrities. They tell their stories of how they have helped with different initiatives to help others in need. Again, I would like to do a fundraiser to donate the money through my school for the “Buy a Goat” initiative through Free The Children (www.freethechildren. com). Each $50 we raise buys a goat for a family in a third world country. This allows them to have, on average, 16 glasses of milk each day. It also helps the family with

future income.

The fundraiser I would like to do currently is a silent baked goods auction just before Valentines Day. I would like to ask if you would be willing to submit a cake, pie, cookies or something baked. We will be doing this in the Piccadilly Mall on February 12th. This will be held from the morning into the afternoon. I will have a cut-off time so that whoever has won their bid for the item(s) can make it back to the mall to pick it up.

We are doing it in time for Valentines Day as every sweetheart wants something sweet for their special day.

This will be my second year doing this. Last year together we raised $350! It was enough to buy seven goats for seven families.

If you are able to help in this, what I hope to be a terrific fundraiser, could you contact me please. Thank you so much for helping us to help others.

Thank you for your time, Destaney Dean jvddca@yahoo.ca 250-675-3437 Left: Destaney staffs her baking table at Piccadilly Mall last year

Terminology

I was driving home from Sicamous recently and the only thing I could think of was how simple and how complex things could be, usually at the same time. Let’s take an example: How about getting a large cargo ship to move from one place to another? Essentially, the procedure breaks down into a few steps. Walk on board the ship. Find out where the cargo is supposed to go. Access tools which assist you to cause the ship to move to where the cargo is to be delivered. Discuss with other crew members to ensure that the vessel is safe to move.

That’s pretty much it. Another small detail to take care of is checking out the weather ahead of you.

Travelling into a storm at sea can ruin your whole day.

Straightforward, you say, and it is.

The details surrounding this task, however, are endless. Economic and government paperwork, ship movement and cargo regulations, personnel training standards and obligations, anti-collision requirements, government orders and ship owner rules.

How about surgery? Learn how to identify problems which occur in the human body. Have a look at the tools you can use. Practise dexterity, wear comfy shoes and wash your hands. Once again, the surrounding stuff goes on for ever.

School, apprentice training, regulations, legal obligations, government standards, office routines and patient assessments. Details, details, details.

I’ve been involved in a number of things over the years and my observation is that they are all similar.

Driving an army tank, flying a plane, running a business, operating a studio portrait camera and managing professional theatre productions.

If the details are properly completed, the main job is easy.

Concerning difficulty, I have come to this conclusion: Something that is a really difficult and complex thing for many of us humans to accomplish, is learning how to honestly accept and be happy with ourselves. I see a fair amount of angst, doubt, delusion and misery.

It is my opinion that, to gain selfjoy, one has to search for, learn and accept the truth about oneself; and I think happiness is a cornerstone to a life well lived. You have to forgive yourself for being unkind and untruthful to those who needed your kindness and truth. You have to take on the hard job of working at being a better, understanding, and more caring person.

Accurate, ongoing self assessment is another challenging chore needing effort; to be a person who works at discovering the truth of a situation and adopts a reasonable and fair attitude. A person who speaks the truth, as it is found. A person who can accept mistakes for what they are and work at correcting them.

I gotta admit, though, some days I just feel like staying in bed.

Duma’s Meal on Wheels

If you have read my articles over the years, you’ll realize I’m not the biggest fan of rodents.

I have no problem with stink bugs, beetles, spiders or snakes; but rodents just give me the heebie-jeebies.

The other morning, I was organizing the trash as it was garbage day. As I emptied the trash bins from inside the house into the large can in my garage, I thought to myself “I should let Jasper out to wander around outside and get some exercise.”

Just as I was letting him out, I noticed Duma had captured a vole (giant killer fat sausage-like rodent with fangs). She had it on the driveway and was in the beginning stages of tormenting it.

However, before I could do anything to stop him; Jasper took off after Duma and began chasing her through the snow and around the house.

In the frenzy to escape, Duma dropped the vole. Besides a small flesh wound, the critter was still very much alive and active. So while Jasper was chasing Duma, the killer rodent started running towards my open garage door.

Seeing that I was now under attack, I quickly grabbed my trusty hockey stick to protect myself while calling for Jasper to leave Duma alone.

The large-fanged killer was now waddling straight for me.

In an act of desperation, I “gently” took my hockey stick and with a perfect rodent wrist shot sent the sausage-like creature sailing through the air. After doing a couple barrel rolls on his landing, he righted himself and looked back at me with those pearly white fangs from halfway up the driveway.

After corralling Jasper and putting him back inside the house, I began calling Duma; hoping she would come back and deal with her morning snack. As I was calling, the vole began cruising back down the driveway towards the house. This time, however, Duma did return and began playing and eventually munching away on the perpetrator.

Now that I was safe and secure, I took the garbage to the end of the driveway and went back in the house. As Jasper greeted me, I told him that by chasing Duma away I was left defenseless and was attacked by a vicious animal. As expected, he simply wagged his tail and looked at me with his tongue hanging out.

So as you can see I have more of a guard cat than a guard dog. However, it doesn’t matter much to me so long as one of them protects me from dangerous rodents.

Outback Jacks Horse Rescue is calling out to the public to please don’t throw out unwanted items, but instead to consider bringing them into the one of the horse rescue thrift stores, in Falkland at 5768 Hwy 97, or in Langley. They will even take leftover garage sale items.

Outback Jacks Horse Rescue has just recently became a co-operative partner with The Horse Protection Society of B.C in south Langley, and are very proud to also be their Director for the Interior Horse Protection Society. The two rescues have decided to join forces in the fight to save these animals, and this year will bring big changes.

They have been rescuing horses for just over ten years now and have helped over 300 horses directly and indirectly. The past year has been the worst on record for abused and emaciated horses coming into the rescues. As of August 3rd last year, they are at full capacity, which is 16 horses. They save room for a maximum of two emergency cases.

Both rescues are looking for additional lands, ideally a suitable ranch in the Falkland area and one in the lower mainland. With the growing numbers of abused and unwanted horses, their goal is to find suitable horse property where they can stable and rehabilitate, as they are two of the only rescue groups that will take in severely emaciated and abused horses.

If you have property that might be suitable for the rescues please feel free to contact them at 250379-2400 or 250438-0062.

SPORTS & LEISURE Loppet sees good turnout, raises over $8700 Almost 500 exhuberant skiers were up before dawn, out testing their wax and their mettle on the Larch Hills trails on Saturday, January 16, classic ski racing in the 32nd annual Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet. Fresh snow created soft, beautiful and challenging conditions for the 362 competitive and 121 recreational participants racing from 1 km for the youngest to 34 km. Participants included 233 youth racers under 18 attesting to the vitality of local ski programs. $8715 was raised for the Heart and Stroke Foundation this year, bringing the total raised by the RKSL over the past 32 years to $398,000.

Skiers came from B.C, Alberta, Washington and from as far away as Australia. At this multi-generational event, there was a remarkable 79-year span between the youngest skier, 2-year-11-month old Cassie Mai O’Connor and the eldest, 81-year-old Gullan Hansen, who, remarkably, has completed this event every year in its 32 year history.

Swim meet honours past member

The annual ‘Swim for Jim’ fun meet was held last Sunday at the SASCU Rec Centre pool. Jim Casselman was a longtime Masters swimmer who was diagnosed with mesothelioma (cancer due asbestos exposure) and died at 64 in 2007. In honour of Jim’s commitment to the swimming community in Salmon Arm, the ‘Swim for Jim’ started a few years ago as a fun Masters meet, and this year the event included both Masters and youth swimmers.

Remember the rules of safe winter driving

Happy New Year to everyone and I hope you had a safe, wonderful Christmas season with loved ones.

I want to remind everyone who ventures on our roads that winter is still upon us and it is our responsibility to drive safely and be prepared for harsh conditions.

Winter driving can pose many risks and safety concerns for the residents of the Shuswap. It is important to prepare ourselves for the coming winter months and prevent problems before they occur by making your vehicle winter-ready.

The roads have often been slick this winter, so it is important to slow down and plan your trip ahead of time. Check road conditions, avoid driving when conditions are hazardous and ensure your winter tires have been installed and inspected.

Winter tires have been defined as those labelled with either the Mountain Snowflake symbol or the Mud and Snow (M+S) symbol. Winter tires must be in good condition with a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm.

Drivers who do not have the proper winter tires on their vehicle on the designated routes can receive a fine of $121. Drivers who do not have

Coding to start early

Black Press Parents in B.C. schools will soon have the option of introducing their kids to computer programming as early as Kindergarten to grade three.

Premier Christy Clark told a technology conference in Vancouver Monday an introduction to coding option will be available in some schools starting next September. It is expected to be available across the province within three years, and Clark said her goal is to make it mandatory for all students entering school.

Post-secondary technology programs already include co-op job placements for 80 per cent of students, but any new programs will have to be 100 per cent co-op, Clark said.

The province and federal governments also announced new funding to technology employers to help current and future workers upgrade their skills. Grants cover two thirds of training cost up to $10,000 per employee, and applications can be made at www.workbc.ca/canadabcjobgrant.

DISPLAY AD DEADLINE Tuesday• 12 noon

the minimum tread depth on their tires (3.5 mm) on the designated routes can receive a fine of $109.

Winter tires improve safety by providing better traction in snow, slush and icy conditions – which can happen at any time in the Shuswap and North Okanagan at this time of year. Drivers are also reminded to check tire air pressure frequently, because it decreases in cold weather.

Here are some more tips for safe winter driving: • Wear your seatbelt.

• Drive to the road conditions – during times of bad weather or limited visibility, slow down.

• Learn and practise winter driving techniques before you need them.

• Don’t drive under the influence.

• Keep your gas tank topped up.

• Pack an emergency kit.

• Plan your trip and tell your

friends and family.

• Check road and weather conditions on DriveBC. • Remove all snow from your vehicle before each trip.

• Give yourself extra travel time in bad weather.

• Avoid using overdrive and cruise control on slippery roads.

• Travel with a fully charged cellphone for emergency situations.

This time of year can be especially dangerous with freeze/thaw cycles that can result in black ice. The roads might look OK, but often they’re not. The same goes for slushy roads.

Remember the importance of safe winter driving by being prepared, planning ahead and slowing down.

Safe travels!

SALMON ARM, B.C. (January 12, 2016) – SASCU Financial Group announced Barry Delaney as their new CEO effective March 7, 2016.

Barry brings 20 years’ experience leading all critical functions of a credit union. He has held several senior management and executive leadership roles with Envision Financial prior to its merger with First West Credit Union. Currently Barry is Interim CEO for Northern Savings Credit Union, a four branch credit union with wealth and insurance subsidiaries in Prince Rupert, where he is fulfilling his commitments until the end of February.

Barry holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Calgary and a Master of Business Administration from Queen’s University.

“I am extremely impressed with the people at SASCU and am excited about joining such a high quality organization,” says Barry. “My family and I have visited Salmon Arm several times over recent months and look forward to making it our home.”

SASCU Board of Directors Chair

Glenn Hill is pleased with the results of the nation-wide search that the Board undertook following Michael’s retirement announcement last spring. “SASCU’s strong reputation attracted a quality pool of candidates from across Canada,” says Glenn. “Barry brings all of the qualities we were seeking. We are confident Barry is the right person to evolve SASCU successfully through our industry’s changes.”

Current CEO Michael Wagner is set to retire after 19 years with SASCU and is enthused about the SASCU Board of Directors’ selection. “Barry brings exceptional experience and leadership skills,” says Michael. “He will be a good ambassador of the values that have made SASCU strong.”

Barry and his wife Ramona have seven children, with five of the children joining them in their move to Salmon Arm. Barry is an aviation enthusiast and commercial pilot. He briefly worked for the Lego Toy Company early in his career and claims that is the only professional achievement of which his children are proud!

Plenty of pet guardians are used to checking their companion animals for ticks in the summertime, particularly after camping or hiking in British Columbia’s beautiful outdoors. But it’s just as important to check them in the winter months, says BC SPCA Kamloops and District Branch animal care attendant Valerie Wilson, a fact highlighted by a cat who came into the Kamloops shelter as a stray – along with nine live ticks.

“It’s not just dogs who are susceptible, and it’s not just in the summer,” Wilson says. “We discovered and removed nine living ticks from the cat, who earned the name Ticker, during his initial exam. We believe he was living in a chicken coop, and I guess it just hasn’t been cold enough to kill them off.”

Ticks are external parasites that feed off the blood of unlucky hosts, including humans, dogs and cats. Tick bites and tickborne diseases, such as Lyme disease, can be hard to detect, and signs of tickborne disease may not appear for seven to 21 days or longer after a tick bite, notes veterinarian and BC SPCA senior manager of animal health Dr. Emilia Gordon.

“Watch your pet closely for changes in behaviour or appetite or for any unusual illness such as fever, lameness, lethargy, bruising or bleeding if you suspect he’s been bitten by a

tick,” Gordon says. “It’s also important to properly remove the tick, or to have it properly removed, to help prevent any disease or infection.”

Steps pet guardians can take include: • Check your pets daily for ticks, especially if they spend time outdoors • If you find a tick on your pet, remove it or have it removed by your veterinarian right away • Ask your vet to conduct a tick check at each exam • Talk to your vet about tickborne diseases in your area • Reduce tick habitat in your yard • Talk with your veterinarian about using tick preventatives on your pet Ticker, who is on a course of antibiotics as a preventative measure and awaiting neuter surgery, is available for adoption in Kamloops and is now, of course, tickfree.

Other parasites, such as fleas and lice, can also be problematic for pets and humans if not properly addressed, Wilson adds.

“Unlike lice, which are species-specific, fleas and ticks don’t discriminate – they’ll latch onto anything with a heartbeat.”

Music, vocals and a three-piece combo, great food from the Aquatico Restaurant make for a memorable night out. The dinner theatre show Funkin’ Dead has lots of funk music from the 70’s. Vincent “the Pussycat” Myers is under investigation for dealing dope out of his nightclub, the Kitty Club. Two of the most mentally-challenged cops are replaced by two brighter lights, but their past changes the plot of the murder mystery. What happens when three women hate one man – that’s the question.

Cheating, revenge, and funk make for a fun plot.

A great four-course buffet style dinner is interspersed with scenes from the show. Prizes for guessing the murderer and also for wearing the best ’70’s costume add to your fun. Funkin’

Theeb

On the eve of the 1916 Arab revolt, in a forgotten corner of the Ottoman Empire, Hussein (Hussein Salameh) and his younger brother Theeb (Jacir Eid) are from a family of pilgrim guides and have recently lost their father. When a British Army officer comes to their clan’s camp with a desert guide, the rules of Bedouin hospitality force the family to send someone (Hussein) with the two men to their secret destination located along the old pilgrimage route to Mecca. A mischievous Theeb secretly follows and experiences a greatly hastened coming of age as he finds himself trapped amidst threatening terrain riddled with Ottoman mercenaries, Arab revolutionaries, and outcast Bedouin raiders. Filled with stunning scenery, a heart-stopping score, and cinematography that immerses you in the journey through Theeb’s point of view, this film is being hailed as “a classic adventure of the best kind.”

Theeb shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 23rd at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Sleeping Beauty ballet comes to Vernon

The much-loved classical ballet Sleeping Beauty waltzes into town on Tuesday, February 9, 7:30pm when Ballet Jörgen visits the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre.

After bringing both Swan Lake (2013) and Romeo and Juliet (2014) to Vernon; Ballet Jörgen now rounds out Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet trio with Sleeping Beauty. Artistic director and choreographer Bengt Jörgen creates his own unique classical ballet rendition of Aurora and her prince complete with its inherently magical qualities and dazzling choreography.

This fairytale of the beautiful princess who sleeps for a hundred years, only able to be woken by true love’s kiss, is one that many have grown up with. Sleeping Beauty was first presented in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1890, and today is the crown jewel in the tiara of classical ballet.

“It is Tchaikovsky’s most remarkable and riveting tale,” says Jörgen. The underlying theme is the tug between the forces of good (the Lilac Fairy) and evil (Carabosse). Told in three acts, the ballet benefits from the character development and technical expertise for which Canada’s Ballet Jörgen is known.

Bengt Jörgen has seamlessly woven iconic French and German versions of the beloved fairytale together to create a new ballet with a refreshing focus on the seasons.

Celebrating 25 years of advancing the art and appreciation of ballet in Canada, Ballet Jörgen Canada aims to inspire, innovate, and educate.

After amazing audience responses to their past sold out appearances in Vernon, the company is proud to present 22 talented dancers for their performance of Sleeping Beauty. Local dance students will also have their chance to take on small cameo roles.

Many of Ballet Jörgen’s original ballets have earned national and international recognition launching Ballet Jörgen to the forefront of the North American dance scene. The fifth largest ballet company in Canada, Ballet Jörgen is known as Canada’s ‘local’ ballet company, and they are committed to reaching out to over 50,000 Canadian audience members every year.

Tickets for Sleeping Beauty are $45 for adults, $42 for seniors and $40 for students and can be purchased now through the Ticket Seller Box Office by calling 549-SHOW (7469) or online at www.ticketseller.ca.

Dead stars Elaine Holmes as Rosa the Kitty Club’s lead singer, with Mike Nash giving her a rough time with his attachment issues. James Bowlby directs what is his fourth dinner theatre mystery and they keep getting better and funnier.

If you missed the first three, for funk’s sake don’t miss this one. Tickets are available at Intwined Fibre Arts on Hudson Street or on line at www.saactorsstudio.com. Call James at 250833-5134 for more information.

Muscadines and Thompson grapes

The largest grapevine in history was discovered in 1584 by Sir Walter Raleigh on Roanoke Island (NC). This monster wild muscadine grapevine measured two feet thick at its trunk, and sprawled over an acre and up 60 feet tall trees. The muscadine, even the wild ones, are 30% sugar, which makes them 25% sweeter than our table grapes. The Spanish that settled in Florida quickly brought their old world skills of wine making to their new country. Thomas Jefferson proclaimed the wine to have a fine aroma and crystalline transparency.

During the 1920 prohibition, the locals weathered the dry spell by making muscadine moonshine. Muscadine grapes are now mostly sold as extracts and powders in nutraceuticals (foods containing health-giving additives and having medicinal benefits).

The light-coloured Thompson seedless grapes were discovered in the Ottoman empire. William Thompson, an English vintner, brought sultanas to California in 1863 and sold them under his own name. The dark concord grape is much higher in anthocyanins than the light seedless varieties. Concord grape juice is one of the healthiest juices sold today. We can thank Thomas Welch, a steward at a Wesleyan church who did not wish to serve alcohol for communion, for the production of the non-fermented version of grape juice. Lab tests have shown that grape juice has a higher ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value than the very expensive imported acai juice. ORAC values relate to antioxidant levels; and the higher the better. Other research has shown the positive impact on memory loss of two

glasses of grape juice a day. The juice also has been shown to thin the blood, reducing the risk of clots that may trigger heart attacks or strokes. Test tube studies are finding that concord grape juice protects breast cells from toxic chemicals. Unfortunately, grapes are on the dirty dozen list, which makes this wonderful and delicious fruit not such a good snack in Canada in the winter. Buy organic grapes that look the freshest (green stems and no loose grapes in the plastic wrapping). A common practice in California is to fumigate the harvested grapes with sulphur dioxide to extend their shelf life. This practice is not always noted on the package, and people suffering from asthma are susceptible to this noxious gas. It can’t be very good for us either, I imagine, but we don’t suffer immediate consequences,

Golden raisins have also undergone this treatment, but interestingly retain more of their phytonutrients. I buy organic raisins as a quick pickme-up snack combined with nuts and to sweeten oatmeal porridge. The most nutritious dried grapes are currants – widely used in wonderful almond filled German Stollen.

GRAPE, MINT AND FETA SALAD

• 3 cups black or red seedless grapes (halved) • 1/2 cup crumbled feta • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans • 2 tbsp fresh chopped mint or 2 tsp dried mint • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice • 2 tbsp unfiltered extra virgin olive oil

Prepare fruit and nuts. Combine liquids; pour over grape mixture and marinate 30 min. before serving on a bed of crisp greens. I can imagine a drizzle of a balsamic reduction on the plate and an Okanagan Rawsome Carrot Crisp with a fig goat cheese and sliced avocado topping on a large plate – a wonderful brunch salad!

Bush planes and daring pilots

It’s been years now, but it was a beautiful sun-filled chilly morning at our Postill Lake fishing lodge, as the Westjet 737 pilots applied their reverse thrusters to slow the aircraft down. This happened on its final approach to the Kelowna airport.

Standing on the frozen snow-laden boat dock, as the big bird flew directly across the lake in front of the lodge, I now heard a small plane approaching.

Suddenly, a Piper

Super Cub equipped with skis came down to land. Motor revving, the craft slowed and came to a stop, just like clockwork, as if retired orchardist and RCMP sergeant Art Day damn well knew the blueberry muffins and freshbrewed coffee were on inside the spacious and comfortable lodge.

Most days, Art would leave the airport in the early morning, taking off from his homemade airstrip to ice fish the Never

Touch and Copper Kettle lakes way out in the Greystoke range.

On his flight back, he’d pop in for coffee.

He was a daring pilot, who used to land high up in alpine meadows at Revelstoke to hunt goat and big muley bucks; or fly under the trestles in the Kettle Valley Railway in that little Super Cub. The Piper company started production of the model PA-18 in 1949, but the model J-3 became available in 1937. The craft are

A good ski

Samantha Peterson comes to the finish line after completing the 5 km route for ages 8-10 at the Reino Keski Salmi Loppet at Larch Hills on Saturday. Sky Stevens photo. cont’d from previous page This happened to three young chaps who where shooting ducks on ponds three years ago with .22’s, all out of season, near Winnipeg.

Public complaints and ID’s were established and the law closed in.

It was also a busy morning recently, in an Edson, Alberta courtroom, when the judge handed out $135,000 in fines to five lowlifes for wantonly killing/wounding and leaving 26 deer, five moose, four elk, one bear, a kid’s Shetland pony, and a cow.

One person received nine months’ jail time along with a $45,000 fine.

One got nine months’ house arrest and a $45,000 fine. Two got a $10,000 fine and a 10-year hunting ban. The youth got 200 hours community work and a five-year hunting ban. Finally, the courts and

judges are realizing the value of our wildlife to the hunting fraternity and general public.

Fishing report: Gardom is slow.

Mealies, small jigs, and shrimp are working, but can be slow.

Phillips: Slow, but large trout.

Some brook trout are being caught.

Lots of effort out there.

Small dark jigs, weighted wet flies and shrimp are working.

Shuswap Middle School received a bomb threat, the second in five weeks, but it was determined to be fake.

A third fake bomb threat would happen in February.

The 31st annual Reino Keski Salmi Loppet at Larch Hills attracted more than 400 skiers.

Salmon Arm City councillors voted against allowing financial institutions at Piccadilly or Centenoka Malls.

Fourteen-year-old Salmon Arm resident Noah Paterson was crowned Boxing Canada’s 2015 Canadian Junior & Youth National Champion in the 66 kilo Junior C open category in Quebec City, earning him a spot on Canada’s national junior boxing team.

More than 400 elementary school students from 19 schools participated in the annual Pirate Loppet at Larch Hills.

Beryl Fisher August 26, 1925 – 10, 2016 January 11, The ANGELS came 10, 2016 on January 11, for one of their own, Beryl Fisher in her 91st year, formally of 37 Sun Valley, Chase.

She is survived by her husband of 71 years, Bill, and two sons, Bill Jr. (Mary) and Edward (Dengie), also four granddaughters, Hannah, Kimberley, Cianna, and Seri with one great granddaughter Honor and great grandson Rowan.

Born in the UK, she moved to Calgary, then Adams lake, before becoming a long time resident of Chase where she became an accomplished bowler.

Beryl loved gardening, crafts, and reading but her greatest resource was being kind, loving, helpful, a wonderful mother, and in short, an ANGEL. The family would like to thank the numerous friends in Sun Valley and around the Chase area for love shown, including Debbie who went way beyond her duties.

Thanks go to all medical personnel in Chase and Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

Beryl requested no service.

Just remember her the way she was, ’’lovely like a rose�

John Stefureak 1949 - 2016 With sadness and sorrow we announce the passing of John Stefureak on January 08, 2016.

John was born July 08, 1949 in Two Hills, Alberta. At the age of four his family moved to Edmonton, AB where he spent his early childhood and teen years. After graduating high school in 1967, he began travelling and saw much of the world.

He settled in the Shuswap area in the late seventies and he eventually moved to Sorrento, BC where he spent the last 25 years of his life. John’s daughter, Erin, was born in 1983.

John began a career welding with Newnes Machine in Salmon Arm, BC, and worked with them for several years. He then took those skills and finished off his working life as a rig mechanic in Sanaa, Yemen. When it was time to retire, he built himself a shop on his property and retired quietly to create beautiful, ornamental iron work. Each piece was unique with his special, artistic touch.

John enjoyed golfing, flying planes, and scuba diving, but travel and creativeness were always his bliss.

John was predeceased by his parents; Peter and Annie Stefureak. He is lovingly remembered by his daughter Erin and her husband Wayne Lougheed; grandchildren, Aden, Elizabeth, and Gavin; sisters, Vicky Martin and Mary (Frank) MacDonald; brothers, Matt (Bev) and Willis Stefureak; as well as several nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews.

Thank you to the wonderful staff at Bastion Place for all the tender love and care you provided Dad. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129.

SUDOKU

Pisces, there is more going on than meets the eye. You have to pay attention to the subtle undercurrents to figure out fact from fiction.

ARIES

Aries, do not allow distractions to keep you from completing tasks that need to get done. Use your ability to focus to plow through your to-do list and finish in record time.

TAURUS

Taurus, this week you may be tempted to take risks you never would have considered before.

Just don’t let excitement get in the way of common sense.

GEMINI

Something totally unexpected will grab your attention in the next few days, Gemini. Trust your intuition to take things slowly and put out all feelers before you forge ahead.

CANCER

Cancer, although you have a plan to reach all of your goals, do not put success ahead of others’ feelings. Be considerate of others even if their efforts are not up to par.

LEO

Leo, proceed with caution in a new friendship or partnership. Test the waters before you devote yourself fully. This approach will ensure you made the right decision.

VIRGO

Virgo, if the potential to be criticized scares you, you may not be inclined to express yourself honestly. Worry less about what others think of you and be confident in yourself.
