Pioneer Week celebrates destinations

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

The week of February 15th–20th will mark Heritage Week, and R. J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum and the Mall at Piccadilly have partnered for this community celebration. This year the provincial theme is “Distinctive Destinations.”

Salmon Arm has right in its own back yard a very distinctive destination, R. J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum. The village, museum and archives are a very exceptional place that offers a unique and authentic experience for visitors to come and explore Salmon Arm’s rich history. The 40 acre site is comprised of fourteen buildings including the original 1910 Haney House. There are also 2.5 km of easy walking trails, taking visitors through four climate zones discovering plants original to the property. The staff and volunteers bring the history to life by telling the stories of the community and significant pioneer figures from the era of 1911 to 1930.

Last season 12,424 visitors explored the museum and discovered the five exhibits: The Train Stopped Here, Fish on the Run, The Secwepemc - First Nations, The Peterson Brothers Ltd. - Salmon Arm Orcharding Family, and No Irrigation Required – Salmon Arm’s Apple Industry. Exactly 2,623 people took part in their popular Villains and Vittles Dinner Theatre Production in July and August.

Visitors also experienced the many special events hosted by the Village with their community partners, including Pioneer School, High Tea, Father’s Day, Pioneer Day, the Classic Antique Car Show and more. A visit to the Village from May through September is well worth the trip!

The 20th Annual Heritage Week keepsake poster features an image from the museum’s collection.

Constructed in 1907, the government wharf sits on one of the most special places on earth, the Salmon

Arm Bay of Shuswap Lake. It has been a community gathering place since it was constructed as a private jetty in 1896. The historic photograph was taken as locals walked to meet the S.S. Andover sternwheeler.

The Village is taking the celebration on the road; from February 18th to 20th, they will be at the Piccadilly Mall, where you can visit and bid on items at the silent auction tables. The silent auction is a major fund raiser for Haney, and items have been generously donated by local businesses and individuals. With the help of the Salmon Arm community, the silent auction has become one of the village’s most successful fundraising events of the season. There are over 100 items being auctioned and bidding closes Saturday at 3:00 p.m.

Bring the whole family on Saturday, February 20th for all the activities. The hard-working crew at Jane’s Place hosts a Pioneer Breakfast starting at 8:30 a.m. for $5.00 plus tax, and part of the breakfast proceeds are generously donated back to the Village.

“Calling All Pies” for the 20th Annual Best of the Shuswap Pie Baking Contest: Winners will walk away with this year’s title, an engraved trophy and dinner theatre tickets for two to the summer production of “Villain and Vittles.”

Pies must be made the old-fashioned way, from scratch, and be apple, fruit or berry. Pies are judged by appearance, authenticity, texture and taste. Pies can be dropped off Saturday from 10:00–11:00 a.m. at the Mall at Piccadilly, centre court.

Everyone is welcome to bid on pies specially baked and donated by winning pie contestants from past years and celebrity baked pies. Pies will be auctioned to the highest bidder. The pie auction is exciting for visitors to watch, so come and cheer on the bidders!

Come celebrate the Shuswap’s rich heritage– there is something fun for everyone, young and pioneer, at the 20th Annual Heritage Week celebration.

manipulative group needed an average of nine sessions to complete the treatment, whereas physiotherapy group needed an average of 23 sessions.” In addition, both treatment groups completed questionnaires that are designed to assess and monitor pain and dysfunction before and after treatment. The questionnaires showed the chiropractic group also showed more benefits than the physiotherapy group in pain reduction and increase of range of motion.

So the take-home message is that in the event of a whiplash injury from a rear-end impact, this study supports chiropractic spinal adjustments to reduce the length of recovery and pain experienced. Our on-site digital x-ray allows us to image the spine to assess and correct alterations to spinal alignment following these types of injuries.

Leaders wanted for pain workshops

Are you looking for ways to give back to your community, meet new people, have new experiences, or develop valuable professional and personal skills?

You will develop group facilitation skills to share strategies for healthier living and support others.

There is a free four-day leader training session, ongoing support, and a small honorarium provided for workshops led.

The leader training takes place at Uptown Askews, 2701 11th Avenue NE, on February 26, 27 and March 4, 5; 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Attendance is required for all four days.

To register: call toll free 1-866902-3767 or visit www.selfmanagementbc.ca. Registration must be completed by February 18th.

Additional nurses to be recruited

With the winter driving season upon us, it’s the time of year that we unfortunately see more patients coming in for care due to whiplash injuries resulting from car accidents. Most existing chiropractic patients are aware that chiropractic adjustments can help speed up recovery from such injuries, but with the many treatment options available, individuals who see their MD first may not always be referred onwards for the most effective care.

This week I would like to review a study published in 2004 in the Journal of Whiplash and Related Disorders. This was the first randomized controlled trial to compare chiropractic spinal adjustments for acute whiplash injury versus conventional physiotherapy treatment which included active exercises, electrotherapy, ultrasound and diathermy.

An interesting aspect of this study was that the chiropractic care was provided once a week while the physiotherapy sessions were daily.

The results showed “Patients of

The provincial government’s commitment last week to create more than 1,600 new nursing positions has won kudos from Walk-In Clinics of B.C. “This is an exceptionally positive announcement,” says Mike McLoughlin, founding director of the new association.

“The infusion of a significant number of new nurses into the province’s health-care system will be extremely positive for communities everywhere across our vast province.”

McLoughlin added that the hiring of a significant number of nurses opens the potential for the training and recruitment of a greater number of nurse-practitioners to act as ‘physician extenders’ in walk-in

clinics.

“My presentation last fall to the legislative committee on finance and government services recommended that the province examine the role of nurse-practitioners in walk-in clinics,” said McLoughlin.

“Working in tandem with a walkin clinic physician, a nurse-practitioner could ensure that a greater number of patients in need of medical care would have their concerns addressed in a timely fashion.”

McLoughlin concluding by observing that the addition of 1,600 nurses in B.C. would do much to help the province fulfill its ‘GP for Me’ initiative, which aims to provide the services of a physician to every British Columbian who needs one.

Opening our eyes Accessing mental health services in Salmon Arm

By Nan Dickie This is the second of nine weekly articles on understanding clinical depression and bi-polar disorder. Nan Dickie is an author, speaker, and facilitator of a peer-led depression support group in Salmon Arm. [Important: If you or someone you love is in urgent need of help for symptoms of clinical depression or mania, call the Crisis Line (1-888-353-2273). It operates 24/7 with trained personnel. It provides short-term, present-focussed support, crisis intervention and referral.]

A young man, Colin (a pseudonym, of course), came to our depression support group last week for the first time. He said he was severely clinically depressed, but assured me he was not suicidal. Clinical depression and bi-polar disorder are illnesses that can be treated; a person does heal from episodes, but there is no

cure (yet) for these illnesses. Situational depression occurs when a difficult life situation (e.g., loss of a job or partner, grief or the onset of a serious illness) causes one to feel sad or despondent.

After our check-in, I asked Colin if he had a counsellor (therapist) or psychiatrist. “No,” he responded. “A family doctor?” I asked.

“No,” again.

It is very unfortunate and sad when a person who is experiencing symptoms of a mental disorder doesn’t have a family doctor. In this situation, getting the help needed can take a long time. I could offer Colin two options in the public health system. He could go to a walk-in clinic, or contact the Interior Mental Health (IMH) office in Salmon Arm (250833-4102). Of course, there are many other counsellors and therapists in Salmon Arm who are not covered

by MSP and whom anyone needing therapy can consult.

There are three walk-in clinics in Salmon Arm, where a person can go if he or she does not have a family doctor. These after-hour clinics are located at the Salmon Arm Medical Clinic, at Mount Ida Clinic, and at Shuswap Providence Clinic.

There, Colin would meet with a family doctor who would assess his need for medical, psychological or psychiatric help.

If Colin requires hospitalization (for instance, if he were suicidal, which he wasn’t), the doctor would send him to a hospital – Vernon is the closest one with a mental health program (often referred to as the “psych ward”). If psychiatric care is necessary but not urgent, the doctor would refer Colin to a psychiatrist.

With few psychiatric resources in our community, it would be a

month or more before Colin would be able to see one. This is a very long time to wait when one is feeling desperate.

If the doctor decides that Colin requires counselling, Colin would be referred to the IMH office for assessment and treatment. (Colin could refer himself to IMH, but if medication needs to be part of his regimen, he would need to consult a doctor. Therapists cannot prescribe medication.)

After seeing a mental health intake worker at IMH, Colin would be assigned to one of its teams, most likely the Adult Short Term Assessment and Treatment (ASTAT), which provides shortterm intervention for adults experiencing acute mental health problems. Other teams serve clients with different mental issues.

One of the IMH team’s workers will make an appointment with Colin for when

that worker is available. Again, this may require a long wait. It is important to know that psychiatric and therapeutic services are not plentiful (certainly not ample) in Salmon Arm. This is, of course, a political and provincial matter.

So, finally Colin will be able to get the psychiatric help he requires after a muchtoo-lengthy process.

However, Colin could have received quicker treatment. Had he addressed his need for help for his depressive disorder sooner, help would be closer at hand. Had he found a family doctor when he first moved to Salmon Arm, stated his diagnosis of clinical depression, his family doctor could have referred him to appropriate mental health services at that point.

It is wise for a person who lives with recurring episodes of depression or mania to

seek a therapeutic or psychiatric relationship well before symptoms arise.

Why do so many individuals who have clinical depression or bi-polar disorder not establish these important relationships sooner? There are several reasons – actually, excuses. The person may think, while he is in remission, “I’m not going to get depressed again” (this is unlikely). Or, “I can get through this on my own” (doubtful). Or, “I’ll wait until I really need it” (unwise). Or, “Nothing and no-one can help me” (untrue).

There is every good reason to be pro-active. Do yourself or your loved one a favour - act now!

Next week: You should know: What depression and mania feel like.

Depression support group meetings: First and third Mondays at Askews Uptown conference room at 1:00 p.m. Everyone welcome.

Salmon Arm welcomes the Coldest Night again

The Salvation Army and Second Harvest are encouraging Salmon Arm residents to bundle up and raise cold, hard cash for the Coldest Night of the Year (walk). A family-friendly winter fundraising event for Salmon Arm’s homeless, hungry and hurting, the walk takes place on the evening of February 20th.

Taking part in the Coldest Night of the Year will help participants understand the experience of surviving on the streets during a cold Canadian winter, while raising funds to aid the work of the Salvation Army and Second Harvest in providing much-needed support to members of our community. Coldest Night walks will be taking place on the same night in an anticipated 80 cities from coast to coast.

The Salmon Arm walk begins at City Hall with registrations taking place at the United Church once again. The walk ends at the Salvation Army Church, located at 2nd Ave NE, for a warm celebration meal. Donning iconic blue toques, participants will walk a 2, 5 or 10 km route, and will warm up with free toasty drinks at Starbucks’ along the way.

This is the Salvation Army and Second Harvest’s fifth year taking part in the Coldest Night of the Year, and they’re aiming to raise $25,000 for their work with the hungry and homeless in Salmon Arm. An expected 300 walkers and 30 teams, including staff and friends of The Salvation Army and Second Harvest, are expected to brave the cold winter’s night.

This year there are prizes for the top fundraisers–Curves punch cards, tickets to the Salmar Theatre, Silverbacks tickets, and a room with jacuzzi with the Best Western in Sicamous. You also get a toque, free coffee or hot chocolate at Starbucks and a free hot meal the night of the walk.

The Salvation Army and Second Harvest have been serving Salmon Arm for many years, and the boost in funds from the Coldest Night of the Year will benefit their clients at a time of year known historically for low levels of giving.

FORMER DOC’S PUB IN CANOE IS NOW A 1ST-CLASS RESTAURANT, COFFEE ROASTER After a long two-year renovation, The Hive restaurant opened in Canoe on July 1, 2015, across the street from the Canoe store. It is owned by Karla and Jennifer who both brought their families here and bought homes. At a Vancouver trade show where they provided coffee, they met a chef, Mark Scott, and convinced him to work for them in Canoe.

The former Doc’s Pub has the kitchen on the north side, where all food is made from scratch, a bar in front of it, then restaurant seating area. The coffee roasting room was added on the north side. Baking is from Blue Canoe Bakery and Little Red Hen, and seasonal ingredients are used in the kitchen. Jennifer and Mark produced the large menus.

Jennifer and Karla are both very involved in the day-today operations of The Hive, while Karla’s husband Frank will be in charge of the roasting room. The restaurant is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday to Sunday when they are very busy, drawing customers from near and far. I recommend the bread pudding that’s on the winter menu.

Karla moved her family to a home on the little lake in Canoe. Her coffee roasting business in Delta, now 12 years old, continues without her. It supports six villages in southern Mexico where she has an employee. Coffee from Delta is distributed in Western Canada. You will find Frog Friendly Wild packages in some stores in Salmon Arm. I met the two women last fall when they poured coffee in Askew’s Uptown during Customer Appreciation Day. The Hive is affordable, family-friendly, and casual; with great service and quality food. The owners are happy to support Canoe, just as they continue to support communities in Mexico where they buy coffee beans.

THE ECONOMY GOES UP AND DOWN Seniors have seen the Canadian dollar, the price of gas, and interest rates go up and down. I am sure the economy will bounce back. When I was a nurse in Dawson City in 1960, gold was $35 an ounce. I didn’t buy any because it was too expensive. As I write this, the internet says the price of gold is $1100.9 US. BITCOIN LOSES LEAD DEVELOPER The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Mike Hearn, one of five seniors developers of bitcoin, the web-based currency, has quit because he said it has failed. He spent more than five years working on it, knowing all along that it will fail.

He wrote on his blog: “What was meant to be a new, decentralised form of money that lacked ‘systemically important institutions’ and ‘too big to fail’ has become something even worse: a system completely controlled by just a handful of people.”

LARGE NEWSPAPER CHAIN LAYS OFF 90 STAFF Postmedia, Canada’s largest newspaper chain, merges newsrooms in dailies across Canada. Postmedia Network Canada Corp. continues to face declines in print advertising, print circulation and digital revenue. One change close to home is the Vancouver Sun and Province. The two papers are produced in the same building and cover the same news. I wondered for years why they didn’t merge their editorial staff.

LAKESHORE NEWS CHANGES EDITOR Michelle Weisinger, editor at Lakeshore News three days a week, has accepted a full-time job back at Valid Manufacturing, where she worked as a technical writer before she had her first child. That child is now 11 years old. Her first day there will be Feb. 4. Office manager Denise Buffie will be taking over the editor’s desk.

A CAR WASH WILL BE BUILT UP ON THE HILL A car wash is proposed for uptown, behind the Shell gas station and Mac’s Convenience Store. It will have an automated wash, three self-serve bays, three vacuum bays and a mechanical/office building. It is in the right zoning and community plan.

MANY SOUTH AMERICAN BABIES BORN WITH SMALL HEADS AND BRAINS Thousands of babies born with unusually small heads and brains in Brazil have been linked to an outbreak of mosquito-borne Zika virus, according to Daily Mail from UK. Since October, 2015, 3,893 have been born. Cases are now appearing in 20 countries. Women are advised to avoid pregnancies until 2018 amid fears over birth defects. The brain condition can be deadly or cause intellectual disability and developmental delays.

COUGH COULD LAST A LONG TIME I went to the walk-in clinic on Saturday with a cough that’s lasted two weeks, waited two hours, got checked, and the doctor said there’s nothing for it. By now it is not contagious. I was given some tips which I am following, but I believe I was told to live with it.

When I wrote a friend who also has had a cold with a vicious cough, she replied that her doctor said the cough could linger as long as eight weeks. Any time after that, there are likely other causes – acid reflux being a primary one.

DO YOU ENJOY DANCING? SPECIAL DJ ON FEB. 20 The Salmon Arm Dance Club has been a long-standing group in our community for many decades. Over the years many have enjoyed the monthly Saturday dancing at the Seniors’ Centre and the Legion. The dances have been at the Legion where drinks can be purchased. Some evenings there is a small band and other times there is a DJ, Mr. Jens Goerner, who is a ballroom dance instructor.

There is a wide variety of music offered to suit many tastes such as tango, salsa, polka, jive, waltz, fox trot, cha cha and others. There is a congenial atmosphere and the evenings are enjoyable. The cost is $25 per couple for the evening, which is from 8-11 p.m.

An invitation is extended to people to come to the next dance, which is on Saturday, February 20th, at the Legion with Jens Goerner providing the tunes.

SILVERBACKS WILL BE WEARING REPLICA JERSEYS OF THE FIRST JR. A TEAM, SHUSWAP TOTEMS The Silverbacks next home game will be on Saturday, Jan. 30 at 7 p.m. at the Shaw Centre against the Vernon Vipers. Saturday will be the third annual Hockey Day in Salmon Arm. Get your tickets early because last year was a sellout. Silverbacks will be honouring the first-ever Junior A team in Salmon Arm, the Shuswap Totems.

They will be wearing replica jerseys of the first-ever season. The jerseys will be sold online and live auctions.

Minor Hockey games will be played all day. Free tickets to the Silverbacks’ game will go to all minor hockey players in Revelstoke, Sicamous and Salmon Arm, sponsored by Minor Hockey and given by coaches.

PLAYER ON FIRST SEASON OF SILVERBACKS NOW ARENA MAINTENANCE COORDINATOR Chad Phillips, now 32, played defence for the Silverbacks in the team’s first year in Salmon Arm, the 2001-2002 season. He grew up and played his minor hockey in Cranbrook, and when he was 16 he played for Gary Davidson’s Trail Smoke Eaters in the BCHL. At 17 he played in Kimberly and when Gary, with partners, brought the expansion BCHL franchise to Salmon Arm’s new arena, he recruited Chad to play defence.

As Chad showed me the team picture on the arena’s concourse, he said Gary was the best coach he played for during his time in the BCHL. He also had memorable teammates during that expansion season; local guys Cody Bostock and Trevor Galan, Vernon’s Andrew Ebbett, and Sicamous’s Adrian Veideman.

Gary traded Chad to a Langley team where he finished his BCHL career. After his playing days he landed a job working at the Langley twin arenas. He had to make a decision about his future: pursue hockey or transition into a job career. His parents had spent so much time and effort into his hockey over the years that he decided to leave the sport. He gained experience in the operations of a hockey arena and got his Refrigeration Certificate in 2005. He also worked in the White Rock Centennial Arena as a refrigeration plant and Zamboni operator.

His parents, Gord and Kathy, liked Salmon Arm when they came here for Chad’s games that first season, so his dad took a transfer here with Telus. His parents and brother Adam moved here in 2003. His dad is now retired and enjoys volunteering at Silverbacks games, working in the penalty box.

In 2007 Chad came to visit them and walked through the arena, as he often did in his travels, and Dale Berger approached him about a maintenance position that was coming available at the Sunwave Centre at the time. The two had met when the Berger family took a billet player when Chad played here, and Chad visited their house that first season. Dale is now the general manager of the Shuswap Recreation Society that helped build the Shaw Centre, and manages the arena and recreation centre.

Chad said meeting Dale was luck! He moved from the lower mainland in July 2007 and became the arena’s maintenance and operations coordinator. Chad enjoys attending the Silverback’s games now as a fan and supporting the current players which brings back a lot of great memories from his season playing in Salmon Arm. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831

Seeking solutions

School District 83 held a series of town hall meetings recently to present some of the difficulties that the district is facing (financial, capacity, and enrolment) along with options for which they sought feedback from the public.

USD value is a fallacy

Over the past ten years, the U.S. government was able to increase its leverage by suppressing interest rates. Rates dropped in succession for almost an entire decade, until they rose a paltry 25 basis points last December. The huge decline in interest rates has effectively lowered the U.S. government’s debt service burden, making them appear as solvent now as they were in 2000, despite having 320% more debt on the ol’ national credit card. Perhaps more ironic is the fact that if the federal government were paying the same rate today that it paid in 2000, which was 6.4%, the annual deficit in 2015 would have been $756 billion larger! (Deficit means one year.) It is obvious that the federal government would not decrease its spending in other areas to fund this additional expense, because that has never happened in history; rather, they would be borrowing an

Super Bowl blues

The boys in my house love watching football.

That would seem fine, except not everyone cheers for the same team. Specifically, as mentioned in a previous article, the Junior Bean Counter loves the New England Patriots while the rest of the family love the Denver Broncos.

This is a real challenge because these two teams are long-time rivals.

If the two teams rarely played each other it would be fine, but it seems they are scheduled to play each other during the regular season and often find themselves battling in the playoffs.

Well, this past weekend they not only faced each other in the playoffs, but in a game that gave the winner a berth to the Super Bowl.

Prior to the start of the game, the Junior Bean Counter began decorating the TV room with all of his Patriots memorabilia. He brought framed posters, his pillow, his football etc. and spread them all around the TV so anyone watching the game would be blitzed with images of his favourite team. He then put his hat and jersey on and was ready to go.

Not wanting to spoil his fun, I didn’t counter it with all the Broncos memorabilia we have, and thankfully his brothers didn’t seem too bothered by their sibling’s enthusiastic decorating.

He had once again made a Super Bowl menu and guest list for what was sure to be a raucous Patriots party in a couple weeks. I had told him to hold off on buying red jello until we knew for sure and joked he might be buying some orange

by Daron Mayes jello instead for the Broncos.

Either way, the deal always is that I’ll cheer for the Patriots if they make it to the Super Bowl and he’ll cheer for the Broncos if my team makes it. Last year when the Patriots won the Super Bowl I was celebrating with him. I won’t force this deal on the brothers as they would rather mutiny against their Dad than cheer for the Patriots; so it is just a deal between the two of us.

Well, the Broncos did end up winning in what was a very exciting game. The Junior Bean Counter handled it quite well despite leaving the room in tears at one point when one of his older brothers celebrated a Patriots misfortune.

However, I managed to coax him back into the room and reminded him that his brother is allowed to be excited for his team the same way he is excited for the Patriots (so long as there is no taunting involved!)

So we’ve had to add orange jello to the menu, but at least he is still excited to watch the game with me and is a fan of his word in that he’ll cheer hard for my team in the Super Bowl.

Through it all my wife just shook her head and said, “Either way it is a lose, lose for the mom.

One way or another I have someone crying!”

However, I quickly reminded her that at least she’ll be able to enjoy some jello!

The Book of Mom

A8 Friday, January 29, 2016 - Lakeshore News

In May, Alice Lewis will take a road trip with her five children to Beaverlodge and Grand Prairie where she will do readings of her book, ‘The Book of Mom.’ Her memoirs weren’t originally meant for publication.

“It was just for my children and grandchildren. I was not thinking that it would go any further. It’s knocking my socks off that other people are liking it,” says Alice.

Her children and grandchildren talked her into turning her memoirs of her early years into an actual book. It is a personal family story but her descriptions of life in a pioneer community have a wider appeal.

Alice grew up in Elmworth, Alberta, a small community southwest of Beaverlodge. Along with her brother, Alice was adopted by Gordon and Edna Moyer.

“They were good Christians.

They were leaders, I would say.

They were both educated and they were just very good people.”

Edna was born in 1900, the oldest of five children. Her own mother died of tuberculosis when Edna was 11 years old. Her sister also died of the same disease.

In the chapter, ‘Grandma’s Wedding Rings’ Alice talks about what happened after that: “They coped as well as they could, Mom being the housekeeper, cook, and ‘Mother’ to her three younger brothers. Water had to be hauled, wood stoves kept stoked and their father trying his best to keep the family together....

Ultimately, the children were sent back to Ontario for a year to live

with their paternal grandparents and the youngest brother, Arthur, was adopted and raised in Hartford, Connecticut, by Mom’s Aunt Lottie and Uncle Frank Johnston... This too was a great sadness because not only had they lost their mother and little sister, but now they no longer had their little brother.”

Despite other difficulties,

Gordon, and they were married in 1929.

Her father, Gordon, was used to hard work and was an excellent farmer: “[E]ach year hand weeding and always working towards growing the highest quality seed and the most suitable to northern climates....In 1949 our Dad was presented with the Robertson Associate Award which is the

slabs of bacon curing in smoking salt. She talks of making jam, pickles, and canning. They made their own bread, soap, and quilts.

There was no electricity and they would cut all the wood to heat up their home for the winter.

She writes about the water bucket at the schoolhouse which

including a stepmother who didn’t like her, Edna completed her education and became a school teacher. She met her future husband, T:4.31”

highest award given in Canada for his very high standard of seed grain...We were also presented with the coveted award of Master Farm Family, again due to his progressive farming methods and successes.”

Two years later he took first prize at the Chicago World’s Agricultural Fair with his entry of Victory Oats.

Alice’s stories are, in short, very readable chapters. Many of these memories would resonate with the older generation but would seem foreign to the young generation. She talks of their root cellar where carrots, turnips, cabbage and parsnip were buried in barrels of sand to keep them fresh, and

everyone shared. Everyone just drank out of the shared ‘long handled dipper’ and no one thought about germs but no one got sick either.

Much of their fun was outdoors and they also had a certain freedom back then.

“As young children we were often allowed to go unattended to the Red Willow River to swim....

In winter we would often skate on the same now frozen river, dodging the cracks and crevices in the ice.”

She and her friend, Elisabeth, would ride a horse to their piano lessons and pick wild strawberries, explore the woods, or swim, on the way home.

Alice calls her life in Elmswoth, idyllic. Life was hard but it was filled with love and happiness.

It’s a good read. When crumpled and stuffed in your jacket, it’s a good insulator. That’s what Bethany had to do when she lived on the streets.

“As very young children one of my memories is of Mom or Dad reading chapter books to us while we sat around the wood heater in the living room after supper. The gasoline lamp was on one table behind us and the Alladin lamp which burned coal oil sat on the other...It was on those winter evenings that we met Oliver Twist, Alice in Wonderland and Tom Sawyer.”

Her chapters range in subject from the wood stove, to driving the tractor at eight years old, to her chesterfield, to a ‘Disastrous Pie Social.’

Their lives changed drastically in 1953 when her dad passed away of a heart attack. Alice’s brother was going to university so Alice and her mother moved into Grand Prairie where Alice finished her schooling and got a job at the local radio station writing commercials and formatting programs. In the 1950s she went to Mt. Royal University where she studied broadcast journalism.

Alice spent many years in the radio business voicing commercials and even did a little work in TV. Life eventually led her to the Shuswap where she and her husband owned the Lewis Family Restaurant from 1975 to 1991.

Alice, now many years widowed, spends many of her hours at the Seniors’ Fifth Avenue Activity Centre where she has volunteered for the past 12 years.

Alice laughs as recalls writing for an essay contest when she was young entitled ‘Why I Will Always Live in Elmsworth, Alberta.’ Although life took her in a different direction physically, her heart is still in that little northern Alberta town.

“My ‘home’ is a house built by my father in 1929, a warm and welcoming fire crackling on the wood stove, the smell of homemade buns....it is not the comfortable walls where I now reside.

Home is where my first memories of life take place...it is the home of my heart.”

‘The Book of Mom’ is for sale at Hidden Gems Bookstore.

Letters to the Editor

Canada must increase palliative care

The Supreme Court of Canada is leading the moral and ethical down spiral. The Federal Government received a measly four month extension from the SCC to re-write the laws that it struck down, that made abetting, counselling or providing the means to compel someone to commit suicide a criminal offence, punishable by 14 years of imprisonment. It was meant to protect the vulnerable. That “right” is now given to physicians. Will those physicians who oppose providing the means or directly killing their patients be granted exemption? What becomes legal becomes a duty!

The government has been mandated to re-write the struck-down law on assisted suicide. Will they put safeguards in place, modelled after Holland and Belgium where people are euthanized with or without their consent, where parents can request the death of a child that they deem incompatible with life, and where depressed people qualify?

The Provincial-Territorial Advisory Group on Physician Assisted Death released its report, defining a “grievous and irremediable’’ condition as a serious illness or disability that cannot

be alleviated any means acceptable to the patient, as justifying assisted suicide.

In the meantime Quebec’s euthanasia law had several court challenges, lastly the SCC giving Quebec the right to circumvent the Criminal Code of Canada. Quebec’s law is a recipe for abuse. It does not limit euthanasia to terminally ill people, a grave and incurable illness suffices.

People with disabilities who are in a state of advanced and irreversible decline qualify. The law states that euthanasia death must be reported after the death has occurred. Since the person is dead before the report is submitted, how can the person be protected from abuse?

Euthanasia and assisted suicide puts a burden on the elderly, making them feel that they should avail themselves of death. Or rich Aunt Gladys, who is just living too long for the inheritor, she can be made miserable. Sadly, elder abuse is wide spread.

Canada can do better; it must increase palliative care.

Hildegard Krieg, Salmon Arm

Burned at the pumps

I often wonder who is in charge of the local “gas cartel” here in Salmon Arm. Do the owners of the local gas stations really expect us to believe that within minutes all stations here are contacted by their “head offices” to up or lower the price of gas all to the same price?

It should also be noted that lately price drop occurs on Fridays after the local weekly newspapers come out and the “Are we being burned at the pumps” statistics are reported.

Today, Friday, January 22, the local price dropped at all stations here to 96.5 per litre. That same litre of gas was 80.9 in Kamloops, 74.9 in Prince George. And just to

aggravate myself some more, I looked up the price in Edmonton on Gas Buddy.com – 62.9 per litre.

Every time I drive into Kamloops I keep looking for the pipeline or refinery that is supplying their constantly cheaper gas but I cannot find anything.

We don’t live out in the middle of nowhere; the Trans Canada Highway runs through Salmon Arm. Why don’t the numerous full fuel tankers that constantly drive past every Salmon Arm gas station drop off “cheaper” fuel here?

We ARE being burned at the pumps!

Tom Harris, Blind Bay

Produce should be home-grown

I would like someone to explain why our produce prices took a giant leap because of a prolonged drought in California?

It seems to me that since one of our less illustrious prime ministers hornswoggled us into the Free Trade Agreement, we are unable to grow vegetables and fruit that were previously produced in Canada.

Instead, BC for instance, the third largest Canadian province, is adamantly proceeding on flooding more arable land with another ques-

tionable dam. Some may recall that WAC Bennett’s High Arrow dam south of Revelstoke was later declared redundant.

Any explanation for our dependency on imported vegetables and fruit formerly produced in Canada had better be good and not any high finance mumbo-jumbo. However, I do know what goes out of my wallet for food and it would be better if it was produced at home.

Alli Graham, Sicamous

Islam misunderstood

There is not a day that goes by without one, or more, denigrations directed at Islam and Muslims. It’s everywhere, TV, radio, newspapers, coffee shops, etc.

All of this has caused me to wonder if these denigrators have a good understanding of what this religion stands for? For all of the hype that one comes across, one would have to assume that it’s anti-social, one-minded, disrespectful of Canada’s traditions, and intent on

converting everyone (by whatever means.) I seriously doubt that our immigration officials would intentionally admit people of this stripe?

It would be appreciated if this paper would provide whatever space is needed for anyone who wishes to “set the record straight,” and, hopefully, educate the uninformed.

Thank you.

E. Borneman, Chase

Help offered to struggling mining industry

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press The B.C. government has released the first phase of its aerial survey of mineral deposits in a largely unexplored region of northwest B.C. GeoscienceBC, a non-profit established by the province a decade ago to stimulate mining activity in areas affected by the mountain pine beetle epidemic, released data from an area from Smithers south to Kitimat and east to Houston. Maps of geological formations are constructed from magnetic surveys done by helicopter.

The results were released Tuesday at the Association for Mineral Exploration B.C. Roundup conference in Vancouver.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said the project is assembling the largest geoscience database in B.C. history, with much more precision than an earli-

er survey in the 1960s.

The next phase will be be to the east, from Houston to the Vanderhoof area.

The region has had little surface prospecting because it is covered with glacial deposits from the last ice age.

“There are Highland Valley copper deposits out there,” Bennett said. “There are Brucejack gold deposits out there.

There are huge zinc, silver, lead deposits out there. They’ve been found before in B.C.” With mining investment stalled by low commodity prices and some existing operations shut down, Premier Christy Clark opened the conference by announcing a plan to let mining companies defer their BC Hydro bills to keep operating. The bills would have to be paid later with interest, when metal and coal prices recover.

The association released its own study before the conference, detailing that more than half of the province is either off limits to mineral exploration or restricted. Some of that is from parks or protected areas, while other areas are subject to land use plans the association described as “overlapping and sometimes ambiguous.”

Bennett said he appreciates the reminder about land restrictions, which he described as difficult to change even when wildlife habitat or other circumstances have changed since restrictions were imposed.

The industry also has to accept that public and First Nations expectations have changed greatly in recent years, and mining has to adapt to that reality, he said.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Thieves jazz it up

On Thursday, February 11, come down to Shuswap Chefs to catch the next Jazz Club concert: Thick as Thieves, featuring Richard Owings on violin, Blair Shier on guitar and bass, Jordan Dick on guitar, and Larry Keats on drums/ percussion.

The music of Thick as Thieves is an imaginative blend of jazz, blues, folk, and world music.

The quartet features Richard Owings on 5-string violin and arrangements, Jordan Dick on guitar, Blair Shier on guitar/bass, and Larry Keats on drums. A principal inspiration for the group is the distinctive work of the American composer and guitarist Bill Frisell. Thick as Thieves performs its own original versions of choice Frisell compositions and arrangements, plus new tunes written by band members. Of special interest are the band’s covers of the Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields” and “Julia,” in fresh instrumental settings.

Richard Owings is well known to local audiences for his work with the folk/celtic band Birchbark, and for his many performances in various gypsy swing bands led by Willy Gaw. Both Jordan Dick and Blair Shier gig frequently in the Salmon Arm area, sometimes as a guitar duet, sometimes as part of Sunday’s Cool or other bands. All three – Richard, Jordan, Blair – have been featured players in the acclaimed Django gypsy jazz shows at the Shuswap Theatre. Jordan also serves as the Artistic Director for the Salmon Arm Jazz Society. Larry Keats plays drums with the Salmon Armenians. All four members of Thick as Thieves are active locally as music teachers and educators.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the show goes from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Admission is by donation, and a drinks and tapas menu is available. It all takes place in the banquet room at Shuswap Chefs, 551 Trans-Canada Highway, Salmon Arm, next to the Tim Horton’s downtown.

Two films

Carol: In an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Price of Salt, ‘Carol’ tells the touching story of undeniable attraction between Therese (Rooney Mara), a young woman in her 20’s, and Carol (Cate Blanchett), an older, married woman.

But matters of the heart and priorities of family threaten to pull them apart when Carol’s husband (Kyle Chandler) begins to question her competence as a mother and to expose her secret to an unforgiving society of 1950’s New York.

Carol shows at 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 30th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

All The Time in the World: In this thought provoking and personal documentary, two physicians from Dawson City, Yukon, feel their family is losing its focus and decide to leave the stress of modern living. Packing their bags, three children, cat and dog, they move to an isolated cabin in the Yukon to live for nine months completely off the grid. This documentary reveals the transitions that take place during their year in the wilderness.

All The Time In The World shows at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 3rd at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Women’s choir offers songs from the heart

The provincial award winning Ancora Women’s Ensemble, a 15 voice adult choir with members from the Shuswap and North Okanagan areas, is excited to present their ‘Heart Songs’ concert at 2:00 p.m. on S a t u r d a y, February 13, at St. John’s Anglican Church in Salmon Arm. This ladies’ group has been singing together for four years under the artistic direction of Terry Logan, an accomplished choral director and teacher from Armstrong.

Ancora will be delivering an eclectic repertoire of music sure to please the most discerning listener – performing Canadian works for women’s choir, contemporary classical pieces, a Broadway show tune, a modern musical setting of a 7th century biblical text, and also pre-

miering a harmonically adventurous piece written especially for Ancora by nationally acclaimed

composer, Jean Ethridge, who resides in Salmon Arm. Some of the pieces will be performed a cappella, some are accompanied by Jim Johnston, a talented and wellknown local pianist.

Ancora is pleased to welcome two guest artists – Elizabeth Johnson, a Vernon resident and retired physician, who will enhance

your musical experience by performing on her celtic harp. This elegant instrument will surely charm you with its beautiful, intimate sounds.

Also, Diane Jewell, a drummer from a local First Nation, will accompany Ancora in a powerful, emotionally moving piece, ‘Warrior’.

Please join Ancora on Saturday for an entertaining afternoon of delightful music! Tickets may be purchased for $15 – available at Acorn Music in Salmon Arm, by calling 250-546-9921, from choir members, or at the door. Under 12 are free.

Just a simple project...

Did you see the post roaring around Facebook about the cost of running a restaurant and why the patron should not expect her hot water and lemon for free? It was priceless. Having worked in Food and Beverage for years, I could really relate.

It brings to mind something that happens more and more lately – small businesses being asked to devalue their business by not charging tax, or by customers prefacing their comments with ‘Well, its a small job I could actually do myself.

(If I had the tools.. time.. machine.. space... ) It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.”

This column is about dilemmas, and this is a dilemma for all of us who run home-based businesses. I know. I network. I hear it a lot.

Let me give you an example. I am often told that custom drapery is far too expensive. It can be expensive, sure, but here is how it works: I buy the rods, for you. I buy the fabric, for you.

And the lining. I will construct the drapes to your exact specifications, and install them too. I will use my years of experience and training to help you make an informed decision. I have insurance on my workroom so if I damage your fabric, we are covered. I have installers’ insurance (which costs more than my home AND business insurance combined) so If I damage your property we are covered. I have the tools, and the vehicle – with business insurance on it, too.

In my workroom I have four industrial sewing machines. The are not inexpensive, believe me.

When I turn them on, my electricity bill skyrockets.

I know how much it costs to run my workroom for an hour. If it takes two hours to do a job, just like a ‘real’ business, I have to add my operation costs to the product cost. I pay myself a living wage, it’s a lot less than you would expect. I know. I network.

When I sell you a product, I have to post that sale in my books. And I have to submit the GST and PST on that sale. If you want me not to charge the PST, I have to fudge my books, not declare the sale, or reduce the sale price so I can pay the tax out of that. I can only add, “Would you ask the cashier at Rona to take the tax off if you paid cash?”

This is a rather difficult subject to broach with customers; but after talking to a few colleagues who also run home-based businesses, I said I’d take one for the team and write a column about it. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

What’s happening in our great outdoors

There are just so many things going on at the present time, that I’d like to pass on to readers of this column who enjoy the outdoors, so I suppose we will start with Buddy the Bobcat, and yes, he’s been in a chicken coop over on 10th Ave SE. Got a couple dozen laying hens. Thing is, they don’t kill just one bird–as the hens squawk and scatter, they kill as many as they see in the moment.

Buddy was live trapped, and placed in a dog cage. When the folks called, I suggested they take him (or her) out on Skimikin main logging road, way in the thick woods, so he’ll be able to catch squirrels, mice, whiskey jacks (grey jays), and rabbits. Buddy’s about

one year old, so Mom’s kicked him out to fend for himself, and hopefully she taught him some hunting skills so he can survive.

Bobcat and lynx are nocturnal hunters.

Quite shy, they are seldom seen by humans.

They have a seven year cycle, as does the snowshoe hare; meaning, in nature, each has a population peak, followed by a couple seasons of slim pickin’s, when disease and severe winters reduce numbers.

Too, we trapped lynx on our line, using a cubby set (dry branches and sticks placed like a small hut).

A duck wing, or aluminum pie plate suspended from the front to flutter, was hung in the wind as an attractor. In the back, a stick was placed, with a dab of a smelly mixture consisting of fish fertilizer oil, chopped up liver, beaver castoreum, etc, left out in the sun for a few weeks to rot. The lynx wanted to roll in it, and were caught in a soft-jaw padded #5 Oneda jump trap, as they stepped into the cubby. Every seven days, like clockwork, the lynx came back through.

Friends who had laying hens out Tappen way, had their birds killed by a bobcat last winter around the same time; as it’s a lean time for most animals, both prey and predator, with snow and cold.

sent me a photo of a very large cougar taken in the North Enderby area recently, by a hunter using dogs. This animal was absolutely huge, and was held up by the hunter. No doubt it was a cunning animal, taking down big numbers of deer in its time!

Wolves: although there has been some

progress in trying to reduce numbers, in harvesting these wily predators, across the Thompson, Adams plateau, and Cherryville areas, there are still concerns by ranchers who are losing livestock. (We currently have a pair of wolves hanging around the fish and game club grounds). For those folks who think a pack of wolves only take the weak or sick deer, moose, and elk from a herd – you’d better

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley think again, as a hungry wolf or wolves will chase, harass, and hamstring or gutslash healthy animals till they’re down, and eat them while they’re still kickin.’

Conservation: I’m not

quite sure where Environment Minister Mary Polak and Forests, Lands, and Natural Resources Minister Steve Thomson are coming from when they say new technology and communication methods help CO’s in their work. Well Mary and Steve, let me tell ya, a 2007 report by West Coast environmental law states, from 1995 to 2005, that enforcement actions by CO’s plummeted by half as

their workload increased. The chief conservation officer for the province, in a 2011 report, says he doesn’t have enough uniformed staff across the province to do the job.

Ministry staff have been fudging figures on the number of officers at 148, when in fact there are only 86 officers, with some seasonal positions. It’s a sad fact that in a province so beautiful as ours, we can’t properly protect the abundance of wildlife we have!

48th annual banquet fundraiser: The excitement is mounting as the fish and game banquet committee prepares for a sellout crowd once again, for a night of draws, prizes, and a fantastic wild game dinner on February 13th.

Donations of an assortment of game including deer, elk, moose, bear, cougar, salmon, trout, even roast turkey–all these will be on the menu. A silent auction, and bucket draws for a diamond ring and rifle will be available. A bar will be open. A dance to follow. Tickets are already going fast for this fun-filled event, and you can get ‘em at Westside Stores for $35 per person.

Inmates get trades training

Black Press A pilot program in Kamloops has graduated six provincial prison inmates, qualifying them to work as construction labourers when they are released.

Students learn skills such as operating and maintaining small tools, scaffolding, reading blueprints, surveying, operating a mini-excavator and traffic control. They also receive level one first aid and construction safety training certification during a six-week course.

The program is offered by Thompson Rivers University for inmates at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. Inmates built a concrete foundation pad with drainage and roof that will house a portable sawmill.

The level one apprenticeship credential and 4,000 work hours in a trade make them eligible for level two, when students can enrol in a Red Seal trade program such as carpentry or plumbing.

“It will be an interesting and challenging project to work on,” said Dr McConnel, “And we want to get as many people as possible involved, from experienced researchers to firsttime historians.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn the skills necessary to research the lost stories of these service men and women’s lives and to work with other researchers across the world.

“We are confident that anyone who can take the time to learn just a little about the scale and impact of the war will be encouraged to play a part in the project.”

from Willington, County Durham, he was a student at the University of Alberta when the war broke out and served in the C a n a d i a n Expeditionary Force.

He was awarded the Victoria Cross, the Military Medal and, after he was commissioned as an officer, the Military Cross– making him one of only a handful of people who have won all three and survived the war.

The research will consider not only individual ‘migration histories’ like these, but also the way that individuals and communities saw their own identities, as ‘Geordies’ and Britons, but also Australians, Canadians, or New Zealanders.

The information for the database will be gathered by ‘citizen historians’ and the 12-month project is open to anyone – all you need is an interest in the First World War. Using this information, the project organizers plan to produce a short film and write

A global project has been launched which will research the lives and wartime service of ‘Geordies’ – from northeast England – in the armies of Australia, New Zealand, Newfoundland, and Canada during the First World War. ‘Dominion Geordies in World War One’ – funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council – will seek to ‘crowdsource’ research by recruiting volunteer researchers in Canada and overseas.

Dr James McConnel, History Lecturer at Northumbria University, explained: “The first stage of the project will involve collecting information that will help us build a comprehensive and fascinating insight into the stories of so many of the local men and women of the North East who, having left their native land in the three decades or so before the war, found themselves volunteering to return and fight for the homeland in the campaigns of the war across the world.

“By better understanding their complex identities, we hope to get a clearer picture of a fascinating aspect of the First World War that has been almost completely forgotten.”

COLIN DUNCAN SHANTZ “DUNC�

Colin Duncan Shantz “Dunc� peacefully left this world Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm, BC at the age of 87 years. Left behind to celebrate his life is his loving wife of 66 years, Helen E. Shantz (Keskinen); his son Gregory Shantz and wife Tara Shantz of Armstrong and their children Katie and Jared; son Brian Shantz of Salmon Arm and his sons Michael and Jeremy and their mother Patricia Shantz; daughter Heidi Kotani and her children Hana and Jesse of Kamloops, as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends. He was predeceased by his father Colin G. Shantz, mother Eda M. Shantz and brother George T. Shantz “Bud�.  Duncan moved to Canoe as a 3 year old boy with his family where they bought 40 acres and then built the Canoe Shingle Mill where Dunc and his brother Bud worked many an hour after school and Saturdays. After graduation from Salmon Arm High School he worked for Federated Coop running a tug boat on Shuswap Lake. He later worked for the CP Railway, owned his own logging company, and worked in construction, building the Revelstoke Dam and finishing with the Roger’s Pass Tunnel Project. After retiring at 60 he enjoyed travelling, golf, curling, carpentry, and gardening and built a new home overlooking Shuswap Lake. Most importantly, Duncan loved providing for his family and was a loving husband, father, grandfather “Buppa� to his 6 grandchildren and friend to many. He had a wonderful sense of humour and was always willing to share his wisdom and experience with those he loved. Our lives are full of his stories and we are richer to have had him for so long. The light he leaves behind will shine on our paths as we continue our own journey.

His wishes were for no service and only a celebration of his life with family at a later date. We are grateful for the care and support the emergency, I.C.U., and all the staff of Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm gave Dunc while he was there. Thank you!

Cremation arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm, B.C. Online condolences may be sent through Dunc’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Darlene said they enjoyed all the old cars, the beautiful lush vegetation, and the great meals, including some spectacular carved fruit.

Chris and Darlene receive $10 for having their picture printed, and are entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2016.

Why is a well-respected doctor, author and speaker at worldwide health seminars writing a book that advocates a high-fat diet to lose weight and reverse diabetes and heart disease? Think 50% to 70% fat in your diet. I can’t even imagine a 50% fat diet, let alone a 70%! That sounds like seal blubber for lunch and supper. Dr. Mark Hyman has been advocating a low-fat, vegetarian diet to his patients for decades. He has been paying attention to the latest studies, randomized trials and clinical observations for thirty years and is now saying that we have had it all wrong!

And he is not the only one! The holy grail of food pyramids of the last thirty years has led us to a big fat food mess. Looking at the 1992 food pyramid we see that the largest section at the base of the pyramid is filled with bread, pasta, potatoes, and rice. We trimmed all the fat off meat, stopped buttering our bagels, bought skim milk and low-fat salad dressings and still saw our waistline increase despite the rise in gym memberships and treadmills in the basement. I guess that science has been difficult to interpret even for doctors and health professionals. Or has the food industry with its ever-increasing need for greater profits led us down this sickly sweet path? All those carbs quickly turn to sugar if we don’t combine them with plenty of greens and proteins.

More sugar happened as a side effect to a lowfat diet. Julia Child, the queen that brought French cuisine to North America scoffed at a low fat diet! Perhaps this is the satiating secret behind smaller portions on smaller plates from master chefs! So what does a high-fat diet look like? Breakfast: a poached egg with avocado, greens and a tomato with olive oil. Or, a shake with almond milk, berries, coconut butter, and

by Afke Zonderland seed butter. Lunch: Salad greens, sardines or wild salmon with almonds and some berries.

Dinner: Fish or lamb with tons of vegetables that have a healthy dose of butter or oil. Not much of a vegetarian diet anymore for Dr. Hyman’s patients! A recent study of 600,000 people from 19 countries showed that there’s no correlation between fat or saturated fat and heart disease. Is it any wonder that people are confused about what to eat and what or whom to believe? We now have to forget everything that we’ve been told about fat. Last year the United States Dietary Advisory Committee did remove all recommendations to restrict fat in our diets after concluding that it does not make us sick or fat.

What a low-fat diet does produce is a starving brain. Memorable brain function improvement was recorded on a 70% daily fat consumption.

Now that is good news for everyone who suffers from poor recall and memory loss.

Well, here is the skinny….

FAT speeds up metabolism, makes us less hungry, burns fat.

SUGAR slows down metabolism, increases cravings and hunger, stores fat.

I increase my fat intake in the winter, and find that it keeps me warm in the cold. My favourite fats are from nuts and seeds, avocados, flax oil, coconut oil, and butter. Fat from grass-fed beef, wild salmon and sardines is also highly recommended.

The bottom line? We need more fat if we want to retain excellent brain function, and keep the pipes that are connected to our heart clean and flexible.
