Davey and his squirrel invasion

A2 Friday, February 5, 2016 - Lakeshore News

When I dropped in to pick up Davey at his home along Highway# 24, early in the morning, to go to Beaverdam Lake near Clinton, he had just live trapped two more red squirrels to be released in a nearby park. He had been invaded by these cheeky little rodents for weeks now, and this is where our story begins!

This writer was off last week to do another ice fishing trip to lakes in the Bridge Lake area, and stay at friend Steve Williams’ home on the edge of Bridge Lake.

Our pre-dawn trip was to take us off to Beaverdam Lake near Clinton, and up the Gang Ranch Road.

When we arrived, there

were already a good dozen anglers heading out onto the ice surface to huts and holes previously drilled the day before, as fishing was very good.

The lake covers an area of about 2000 hectares, and is popular both summer and winter for brook trout. Our party had fished a couple days earlier and had done very well. Ice fishing is done in the close weed and reed beds, in 4-5 feet of water, as the char forage for snails and shrimp near the bottom. There is nothing more exciting that watching brook trout cruise past your spot, or come in to take shrimp, etc, as they feed.

Historically, brook-

ies originated in the eastern US, and A p p a l a c h i a n Mountains; before being moved to eastern Canada, in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and eventually finding their way into hatcheries in our province.

This fish is a char, related to the lake trout/ arctic char, and is a piscivore (eats other fish). This is why fisheries biologists are wary of planting them in certain waters.

Many anglers remember the great ice fishing at Gardom Lake many seasons ago. Now Phillips Lake has been stocked, and is doing quite well for the ardent ice anglers. Brood stock for most interior lakes, such as Phillips and Mann, near Little Fort, and Caribou lakes, come from Star Lake above Chase, a pretty little body of water, nestled high above Neskonlith Lake.

Ministry fishery staff net fish and strip the eggs in October to supply the Clearwater hatchery, which was previously at nearby Loon Lake, southeast

of Clinton.

On our late afternoon drive home (we had caught a nice catch of 14 brook trout, native to the South Caribou plateau region) are red and black foxes, as well as crosses, and an abundance of red squirrels. The real reason Davey was having a

squirrel problem was the bird feeders his wife had, and the black sunflower seeds.

Although they had metal sheeting around

the posts to stop the little critters from feeding and harassing the bird life, the squirrels still came in numbers to feed below.

Releasing squirrels to the park this time helped a neighbour in real trouble! The previous afternoon, he was putting his live traps in the pickup to haul his squirrels to the park, when he heard a call for help. It was his neighbour across the highway, who was hanging by his thumb, supported by a couple flimsy boards at his feet. He was building an angled framework of 2x4 boards to haul plate glass, and standing on the outside of the truck box, on a heavy plastic step, but slipped off, and in turning, using a nail gun,

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press The B.C. government is preparing legislation to formalize its 10-year project to protect and share logging management on a vast area of the B.C. coast with forest companies and 26 coastal First Nations.

The agreement puts 85 per cent of the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest off limits to logging, and also makes permanent a ban on commercial grizzly bear hunting that was announced for much of the central and north coast region in 2009.

Including Haida Gwaii, the Great Bear Rainforest agreement covers 6.4 million hectares on B.C.’s central and north coast, an area about twice the size of Vancouver Island.

The final version of the long-sought agreement increases the amount of protected old-growth forest from 50 to 70 per cent, in addition to large areas of second growth. It adds eight new special forest management areas covering 295,000 hectares where logging is not permitted.

“Ecosystem-based management is the modern term to describe what we have always done,” said Chief Marilyn Slett, president of the Coastal First

by Hank Shelley his finger had pressed the trigger, driving a 3 inch ardox nail into his thumb. He had been there for over one and a half hours, as his cell phone was charging in the house, and Dave’s wife had the radio on and could not hear his calls for help. He was going into shock and was cold. Dave rushed into the yard. He couldn’t pull the nail out with a standard hammer handle his neighbour had, so he rushed home and grabbed his cordless angle grinder. This worked, and he cut the nail off. Dave drove him to the hospital in 100 Mile House. The doctor who checked the neighbour out had

two options – performing surgery and cut into the thumb, or pulling the nail straight out!

The patient said “Pull the #@*&m* thing out.” So an electrician was called in, with his tool belt on, and vise grips were used.

One time a tiny squirrel helped in a bad situation!

The Bridge Lake area is excellent fishin,’ both winter and spring, for those that want to check out the many lakes there. We also ice fished Bridge, Deka, and Sulphurous Lakes for kokanee and lake trout and did quite well. Good fishin’ everyone, and be safe!

Nations, which includes the Haida Nation, Gitga’at, Metlakatla, Heiltsuk and other communities on the north coast.

Dallas Smith, president of the Nanwakolas Tribal Council representing central coast communities, praised the co-operation of industry and government for the forest land use and a companion marine protection agreement that still requires federal approval.

“I stand here today proud, happy, but still a little bit upset that it’s taken this long,” Smith said.

Rick Jeffery, representing the industry group of Interfor, Catalyst, Western Forest Products and the provincial agency B.C. Timber Sales, said the agreement means an end to conflict and protest, with stable access to 550,000 hectares of forest harvest land.

“We know now where we can operate and what the running rules are,” Jeffrey said.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the B.C. government will provide $15 million over five years to help aboriginal communities start their own forest companies. The deal also turns over forest carbon credit rights to First Nations, which could be sold as offsets for natural gas development.

Richard Brooks of Greenpeace Canada said when environmentalists began to push for preservation of the region, 95 per cent of the forest was available for logging, and now 85 per cent is protected.

The agreement formally began in 2006 when a land use plan covering about a third of the region was adopted, and work started on a compromise between industry, First Nations and environmental groups that had been organizing boycotts of B.C. forest products.

The B.C. and federal governments put up $30 million each to create a larger plan using “ecosystem-based management” and aboriginal rights.

The U.S. Nature Conservancy put up a matching $60 million, raised mainly from U.S. private foundations, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, the Wilberforce Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

Environmental groups Greenpeace, Sierra Club and ForestEthics represented the foundations, and have since argued that too much old-growth forest would continue to be logged under the plan.

Excitement grows for North Okanagan-Shuswap Liberals

With the federal Liberal Party of Canada having achieved a majority government in the election late last year, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau having established a new and inclusive style of government after 10 years of Conservative rule, a lively meeting took place when members of the North Okanagan–Shuswap Federal Liberal Association held their annual general meeting on Jan. 30 at the Enderby Senior Citizens Complex.

Candidate Cindy Derkaz of Salmon Arm was elected President. Cindy boosted the Liberal vote in the riding by more than 30 per cent over the previous showing in the October 2015 election, finishing second to Tory Mel Arnold.

“I envision a team with renewed energy and commitment,” says Derkaz. “The association will be active in the community and consult with residents of all political persuasions from one end of the riding to the other.”

Other members elected to the EDA executive include: Karen Angove (Salmon Arm) - Vice president, Don Paterson (Sorrento) - Regional vice president, Gord Adams (Vernon) - treasurer, Tom McKenzie (Vernon) - secretary (data manager), Mavis MacPherson (Enderby/Armstrong) - membership, Monica Kriese (Salmon Arm) - communications/ marketing, Lynda Wilson (Salmon Arm) - organization, Michael Boudreau (Salmon Arm) - policy, Don Derby (Salmon Arm) - fundraising chair.

Directors at large include Lisa Kongsdorf (Vernon), Bill Tayler (North Shuswap), Anja Langstraat (Armstrong), Heywood MacDonnell (Vernon), and Chad Shipmaker (Salmon Arm).

Non-elected: Rod Drennan (Vernon) - past president, Election Readiness - to be appointed by the executive Eli Vlahos (Vernon) - youth commission, Sandra Stanley (Salmon Arm) - seniors commission,1 Lakeside_Manor_Lakeshore_News_020216.pdf

Kailey Cannon (Salmon Arm) women’s commission, and Gloria Morgan (Enderby) Aboriginal People’s commission P r i m e M i n i s t e r Trudeau and Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced on Jan. 16 that they are “actively considering” speeding up promised investments in infrastructure in a bid to stimulate Canada’s rapidly deteriorating economy. Trudeau promised during last fall’s election campaign to pump an additional $60 billion over 10 years into infrastructure projects.

But less than half that money — $17.4 billion — was earmarked to flow during the Liberals’ first mandate. The platform committed to spending an extra $5 billion

for each of the first two years and $3.45 billion in each of the next two years.

However, the government is now looking to move up the spending schedule, pushing the money out faster in response to worsening economic conditions, and Derkaz is urging municipal councils and regional districts in the riding to act as quickly as possible in applying for funding for projects that are ready to go. The details of new infrastructure spending will be unveiled in the federal budget, likely sometime in mid to late March. Morneau

stated that there has just never been a better time to make targeted investments to support economic growth in this country.

Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi said recently that the government is looking at expediting spending on projects already queued to receive federal cash through existing infrastructure funds.

“We have billions of dollars that we have not spent over the last two years that we can expedite this year and next year, as well as going through the budget process to allocate the additional $60 billion.”

Sohi has said funding will flow to finalized projects that cities and provinces identify as priorities. Cities and provinces are being asked to complete the list of priority projects so they can be quickly reviewed and approved for funding. Those projects, he said, need not be new work, but can include revamping existing infrastructure.

familychiropractic COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

Superbugs

For over 120 years, chiropractic philosophy has centered around the fact that the body is a self-healing and self-regulating organism with the nervous system as the master controller of every cell organ and tissue. Furthermore, ensuring the nervous system is free from interference (subluxations) will allow the body to express 100% health.

Contemporary science is now also supporting what our profession’s founding fathers taught, which is that a healthy, low stress environment is extremely important for the maintenance of good health.

While studying the philosophy of health and chiropractic, I recall one of the brightest minds in our profession, Dr. Christopher Kent, speaking in the mid 1990’s about the direction our profession will be heading in the not-too-distant future. At that time, he predicted the chiropractic lifestyle of maintaining a clear functioning nervous system combined with a drug-free, healthy lifestyle will be sought after for supporting the innate healing ability of the body. He further stated that this wellness approach would become even more important when infectious bacteria eventually develop resistance to all antibiotics. He forecasted our services would be sought after more for health and wellness promotion more than as a musculoskeletal therapy.

Unfortunately, due to the overuse of antibiotics in humans and livestock in the past decades, this prediction is now becoming a reality.

In November 2015 a new gene has

been discovered that allows bacteria to be resistant to the drug colistin – which is medicine’s last line of defense against drug resistant super bugs. What’s even more troubling is this gene is easily passed around between different types of bacteria and if it changes the more common and more life-threatening bacteria, the field of medicine will be reduced to almost where it was before the discovery of antibiotics.

Does this mean we need to start sending goodbye cards to all of our loved ones? Not at all. It means the importance of a strong immune system achieved through a clear functioning nervous system, healthy lifestyle choices, and maintenance of healthy bacteria in the gut are even more essential to life.

To further support our immune function, practices like ensuring adequate vitamin D levels, regular supplementation with probitiocs/ vitamins, a daily exercise regime and consumption of an organic plant-based diet is essential to maintaining health and wellness.

Seeking chiropractic care on a much more regular schedule is even more important. It is my job to detect and correct subluxation (nervous system interference). Once this is accomplished (via spinal adjustments), the body is then better able to heal and function at optimal health. With the constant evolution of viruses and bacteria, the most important defense we need to support and promote is the innate wisdom of the our own body.

Science and technology has not and will never match the wisdom of a proper functioning body’s ability to heal and fend off invading organisms.

Opening our eyes You need to know: what depression and mania feel like

By Nan Dickie Before you say, “I know the symptoms of depression. You don’t need to remind me,” please consider this.

It’s not good enough to know the words that describe the symptoms of clinical depression and bi-polar disorder.

You need to imagine what these gut-wrenching experiences feel like. Give it a try.

Before getting into the symptoms, some important preliminaries: Symptoms for both depression and mania may vary in length and intensity from person to person, and can be different from episode to episode. As well, symptoms do not occur in any particular sequence. The onset of symptoms may occur abruptly (literally overnight, as is my case) or gradually, over a period of weeks. It is unlikely that any one individual experiences all possible symptoms for the duration of an episode.

(I shudder to think of that.) Despite this variation and complexity, we can actually group symptoms into categories – mental, physical, emotional, social and spiritual.

A few months ago I conducted a survey with 14 participants in the depression support group (DSG) I facilitate. I listed a wide range of 28 clinical depression symptoms, and asked participants to identify their three worst symptoms – not an easy task, as many of us experience five or six different symptoms during an episode.

The most common and intense symptoms reported were self-loathing and feel-

ings of worthlessness.

It’s worse than it sounds. For many of us, self-loathing takes the form of extremely negative, top volume, relentless, inner insults to ourselves. Feelings of inappropriate guilt, shame and self-blame compound this with statements hurled at oneself such as “I don’t deserve to be alive” (of course you do). Or “I’m despicable” (never true). Or “I’ve never done anything worthwhile in my life” (faulty memory caused in part by faulty chemistry).

Does this sound like exaggeration? I assure you, it’s not.

You cannot talk someone out of these self-deprecating thoughts. Depressed people cannot control

this thinking. People with mental disorders have NO CHOICE about experiencing symptoms. They are inherent in these disorders, these illnesses. To say, “Look on the bright side,” or Pull yourself up, man” do not help one bit. In fact, comments such as these make depressed persons feel even worse. With these illnesses, when one is in an episode, one cannot remember one minute of feeling well. This being the case, what can we strive for?

The next most prominent symptom reported was that of pervasive fatigue and lethargy, both physical and mental. Feeling like dead weight. Arising from these primary symptoms, or occur-

ring on their own, may be difficulties concentrating, think being “as clear as mud,” indecisiveness and lack of interest in daily activities.

The symptoms are piling up here, but my worst symptoms are next: feelings of despair and dread.

These feelings are epitomized by thoughts such as, “I can’t do this any more;” (we somehow do). Or “There is no hope;” (we can only

live through this). Or “This hell will never end;” (it does: depression is eventually self-limiting).

A few other of the high-ranking depressive symptoms were intense feelings of emptiness, isolation and helplessness; uncontrolled irritability and agitation; appetite, weight or sleep changes. Anxiety and fear inevitably join in: anxiety over relationships (“Will she abandon

me?”); fear about one’s work (“What if I can’t do my job?”)

With bi-polar disorder, the down-side of the cycle is similar to clinical depression.

The other “pole” of bi-polar disorder is mania. Manic symptoms may include agitation, aggressiveness, and sometimes paranoia (“I know my husband is cheating on me,” when you have no evidence); feeling extremely and intense-

ly high; increased and uncharacteristic confidence and self-esteem; a reduced need for sleep; increased talkativeness; soaring creativity and racing thoughts. See page 7

IMAGINE LOOKING AT SHUSWAP LAKE FROM THE 3RD FLOOR, HOLDING YOUR CAT Andover Place, the new retirement resort on Lakeshore Rd and 20th Ave., promotes some lower floor apartments for pets, and we assume they are dogs. General manager Misty Wouters told me on a visit recently that cats can be accepted on any floor, even the third. We agreed that a pet is such a good companion for seniors as they age.

CHURCHES THRIFT SHOP NEEDS VOLUNTEERS Do you have two or three hours in the afternoon, once or twice a week or month, to unpack and sort donations brought to the Churches Thrift Shop? The schedule is very flexible. Manager Lynda Menzies asks you to pick up a volunteer application form, check the jobs listed on the back, and return it. “Come join us to help our community and world missions by working in a Christian environment.”

Choose your time between 12:30 and 4 p.m. A break for coffee and goodies is at 2 p.m.

The Thrift Shop employs nine full time and 25 part time employees. It has 120 regular volunteers working three to four times per month. The 15 sponsoring churches also provide teams who stock and tidy the store during business hours. Just over 300 Christmas thank yous were given out in December. Lynda states: “Volunteers are the backbone of the organization and we could not continue without them.”

NO GARBAGE TO THE CHURCHES THRIFT SHOP Dirty, stained or torn mattresses, couches and chairs are not accepted, says thrift shop manager Lynda Menzies.

The thrift store management appreciates the community support and help in holding the cost of garbage steady.

JUDE RECOMMENDED PELLETS FOR MY COUGH Last Thursday, as soon as Jude Corfield read about my cough in my column, she wrote about a solution. She is a homeopath, trained in England, and teaches courses in Vancouver. When I operated the Shuswap Wellness Clinic in the 80s, I sold liquid homeopathics that clients dropped under their tongue.

Jude recommended the remedy Drosera that is available at Askew’s Uptown where she works one day a week. The other days she operates Shuswap Homeopathy Clinic in Salmon Arm and Kelowna. Take two pellets of Drosera three times a day for four days, she wrote. It should get rid of my cough, as it has for others. They are about $8.00 for a small bottle of small pellets. My cough was gone in three days. Thanks, Jude!

The pellets are energy. Do not take in anything with a strong smell/taste in your mouth, like toothpaste or food, for half an hour before or after taking them. Do not touch pellets with your fingers. Turn the little container upside down and turn the cap till two pellets fall into it. Drop them under your tongue. That’s it!

WHAT IS DROSERA? Besides Askew’s Uptown, the Drosera homeopathic pellets are available at Shuswap Health Foods and Pharmasave. Google says it’s from a plant. Dr. Hahnemann, a German physician who quit his job and discovered homeopathy in 1790, used Drosera as the principal remedy for whooping cough.

Pharmasave has a directory over its homeopathic products that says Drosera is for spasmodic dry cough, confirmed by a flushed face during bouts of cough, improved by movement, and aggravated by warmth of bed at night.

THROAT COAT TEA On day two of the homeopathic pellets I was walking on Alexander Street a few steps from the Trans Canada Highway and saw a sandwich board sign outside the Tea & Spice Shoppe that said take-out tea is available. I took my travel mug in and asked for a cup of tea. Owner Diana Shaw swept her hand across the 140 glass containers of loose tea on shelves on the wall and asked which I would like. When I told her I had a cough, she recommended Throat Coat tea. The label said it was loaded with ingredients such as roots and expectorants. She put some loose tea in a small paper bag, put it in my mug and filled it with boiling water from her tap. Take-out tea is $2.50.

Delicious!

A COMFORT STORE AT HUDSON & ALEXANDER On Saturday morning I stopped at a new corner store opposite CIBC. It is called A-finnity Comfort Solutions, named for the owners, Heather and George Finn. Heather has been an accountant for a manufacturing firm but will be in the store full-time in March. George works for a firm that pumps concrete in season.

They did a lot of research on what types of products to bring to Salmon Arm. The store opened in October 2015 and is based on comfort. They will order in bed mattresses customized to each customer’s comfort requirements.

Plus, they have amazing feather bed toppers that are reasonably priced. For example, a queen-sized feather bed with 90 per cent feathers and 10 per cent down is $235. The non-feather option is $210. One wall has shelves full of pillows of all kinds and in different sizes: standard, queen and king. They come in various contents and in soft, medium and firm.

A corner display has shelves full of mechanical massages for various parts of the body. All are available to try out while you’re in the store! A display is full of the Escents Aromatherapy line, including organic hand creams and body butter, and there’s another display of Finesse oils and oil blends. They have cuddly toys that can be warmed or cooled called Warm Buddy, made in North Vancouver. And Snoozies are comfortable slippers from size baby to men’s. They are washable and have a non-slip sole. Or you can try on their spinner rings for anxiety, with a centre ring that spins for those that need to ‘fidget’. Check out their line of greeting cards that were designed by a cancer survivor who used her experience to create a one-of-a-kind line. There are unique products at every turn!

BREAD PUDDING TO DIE FOR! I highly recommend the delicious bread pudding at The Hive, a restaurant in Canoe. It comes heated in a large bowl, has pistachio nuts in it, and is drizzled with a whisky caramel sauce and fruit compote. It’s a great dessert to split because it is very filling.

SALMON ARM HAS ONE REFUGEE, ARMSTRONG WILL GET A FAMILY The first Syrian refugee arrived in Salmon Arm in mid-January. He is Mustafa Zakreet, age 24, from a refugee camp in Lebanon.

Cont’d from page 5 Some people who don’t understand mania may think, “Must be nice, feeling high.” No. Manic symptoms often cause significant impairment, and total disregard for others. In mania, a person may spend money they don’t have, drive recklessly, drink excessively, and exhibit very poor judgment (e.g. have sex indiscriminately).

Some individuals who have bi-polar disorder are rapid cyclers – feeling manic at one moment, depressed the next, and back to mania.

This is extremely exhausting and totally outside the control of the individual.

So, that’s what the experience of depression and mania is like.

income” to $55,000. So the $5,000 contribution will give you an approximate tax savings of $1,485 or 29.70% of $5,000.

However, the one catch with the RSP is that someday in the future you will need to pull these funds out of the RSP and you will then be taxed on these funds. So it begs the following questions: Are RSPs even worth it? Should I be contributing to a TFSA instead?

Like lots of things in life, the answer is, it depends. However, you’ll have to wait until next week to find out the answers to those questions.

How do you view this time of year? Are you a glass-is-half-empty type of person and are moaning about how you are sick of winter? Or are you a glass-is-half-full type of person and you are getting excited about the days getting longer and the anticipation of spring? I have to say I’m a bit of both.

This time of year is also the last chance to contribute to an RSP and get a deduction on your 2015 personal tax return. Maybe that’s why I get so excited this time of year; we get RSP season which is followed by tax season. A bean counter’s dream!

If you are considering an RSP deduction, let’s look at how the deduction works. Firstly, you get a deduction on your tax return if you contribute to your RSP after the first 60 days of the current calendar year, and in the first 60 days of the following calendar year. This means that in order for you to get a deduction on your 2015 tax return, you would have had to contribute to your RSP sometime after March 3, 2015 and up until February 29, 2016.

Most years the deadline falls on March 1st, but the 60th day this year falls on February 29th because of it being a leap year. If the 60th day falls on a weekend, then Canada Revenue will declare the following business day (Monday) as the last day to contribute like they did in 2015.

Unfortunately, February 29th already falls on a Monday so there is no extension this year.

So how does it help your taxes? Well, a contribution to an RSP gives you a tax deduction, not a tax credit. These two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but are in fact very different. To explain an RSP tax deduction, let’s look at an example. Suppose you had gross income of around $60,000 per year. Based on 2015 tax rates, that puts you into a combined federal and provincial tax bracket of 29.70% in BC. Let’s now assume you put $5,000 into an RSP. This will give you a deduction from your income in the same amount; lowering your “taxable

I am getting calls from wonderful local people wanting to bake and donate for the “Goods for Goats” silent bake auction. Thank you so much!

As this is a public event, I been told I have to go by the rules and regulations of the BC Food Administration. I would love to accept everyone’s offer to bake and donate; however I can’t unfortunately, as the BC Foods Administration rules state that the baked goods auction items must be done in a commercial kitchen.

Thank you again to the amazing people that have called or talked to me about helping by donating. We really do have a kind, caring and giving community. You are awesome people.

Reaping the results

It happened in Salmon Arm, a father spanking his 14-year-old daughter, and mom who used a skipping rope, were charged with assault. The judge ruled that “the parents’ action were solely punitive, not corrective, and that they were degrading, and amounted to excessive corporal punishment.”

(Vancouver, BC, Canada/News Talk 980 CKNW|Shelby Thom, posted January 28, 2016, 2:58 p.m.)

Does this surprise you? The latest Canadian survey reveals that more than 60% of us knew nothing about residential schools. And an even greater number are unaware of the” doctrine of discovery,” which legitimized this kind of behaviour. Go to http://ili.nativeweb.org/sdrm_art.html for enlightenment.

Europeans, looking to expand their empires, used it to steal without breaking the law. The biblical command, “Thou shalt not steal,” was circumvented, in 1452, when Pope Nicholas V issued to King Alfonso V of Portugal, the bull Romanus Pontifex; declaring war against all non-Christians through-

Inheritance

What follows is a work of fiction. Five siblings, two boys, two girls, and one more boy. As this story unfolds, only the youngest boy still works. The others are retired. Each of them have done well in their careers, having achieved good educations and very high levels of responsibility.

One has a PhD; the rest, Masters degrees.

Both parents were still living, with the father in a care home with dementia, and the mother, at home on oxygen with a live-in care giver. Mom passed away. The second son was executor. He visited with his mother daily for seven years, helping her with shopping, bills, visiting dad and other details of mom’s life. He also had power of attorney for dad. He was helped by the credit union manager and dad’s lawyer. He made a couple of mistakes with the many details; but they did get ironed out–after all, he was new to the task.

Stewart, the oldest, was very grateful that his brother had accepted being executor and felt confident that five mature people would cooperate through this chapter in the family’s story.

The first argument erupted over the disappearance of mom’s wedding rings. The boys were not involved, but the sisters accused each other of stealing the rings and demanded the rings be returned. The older sister was suspected, but, there was no evidence pointing to the identity of the thief.

The parents’ house got cleaned, sold, and money was divided. Mom’s estate folded into dad’s estate. Then dad died, and the “poop hit the propeller.” The younger sister lawyer’ed up and threatened to take action about the rings.

Youngest brother stopped talking with the executor brother due to the delay. The older sister engaged a lawyer and requested any executor fees be removed from the brother due to “estate mismanagement.” The brother handling the estate came close to a nervous breakdown. The

out the world, and specifically sanctioning and promoting the conquest, colonization, and exploitation of non-Christian nations and their territories. (500 years of injustice by Steve Newcomb) I wonder how many of us know anything about the truth and reconciliation commission which went across Canada in the past five years, to discover the whole truth about residential schools? And the 94 recommendations to correct the injustices done to indigenous people? [Final report by Justice Murray Sinclair, June 2, 2015] Now we are reaping the results of how we have been treating our neighbours for the past 400 years.

Dr. Gabor Mate has spent the last 11 years working in the Vancouver downtown eastside to bring hope to some of the most vulnerable people in our society. Go to YouTube and look up Dr. Gabor Mate: Addiction.

Here is scientific evidence of what we have been doing to one another.

Peace, Dan MacQuarrie, Salmon Arm

executor job weighed heavily. The executor brother worked hard not to have his younger siblings become enemies just because the parents had left money. The older brother gave emotional support and advice. If his brother became incapacitated, the estate money would be in the courts for years, or lawyer’s hands forever. Time passed with the estate lawyer attempting to conclude the estate. Release forms were sent. Four signed, with the younger sister refusing because of the rings.

There are many stories about estate recipients fighting over parents’ proceeds. A common one is the “Summer Cottage.” Parents buy a cottage and the family spends holidays there, growing up. Parents pass, leaving the cottage to the kids for their shared use and the enjoyment of the grandkids. Sons and daughters argue over cottage use, lawyer up and the cottage eventually has to be sold to pay legal fees. Nobody gets to use the cottage and, sometimes, siblings don’t talk to each other, ever again.

If you are interested look up what happened to the Gore family. They, who own the patents to Gore-Tex, have money; and what happened to the estate is a real horrorshow.

It is really important to be clear and direct about what one wishes to happen after they die.

Discussing with parents about their wishes or discussing with your children exactly what you want to happen is essential. A confusing or non-specific will can lend itself to different interpretations and can lead to unnecessary legal fees and anger for years afterward. One couple, with all the kids present, told them exactly what was in the will. The kids now know precisely what eventually will happen.

As I said, the above is a work of fiction, and, I wish it was.

Clean cutlery

Dear Reena, Is it possible to renew the look of my cutlery? Either the dishwasher, or our water which has a high rust content, or both, have it looking pretty bad. Donna Dear Donna, In commercial settings, it is very common to toss cutlery into a sink of plain old white vinegar, let soak, and polish with a cloth. Or cut a potato in half and sprinkle it with powdered laundry detergent, rub onto spots, rinse and dry. Doing this gets rid of water and rust spots. Bar Keepers Friend is another effective option. To make your own silver or stainless steel cleaner: Place crumpled aluminum foil in a pan or plastic bucket. Dissolve one quarter cup washing soda in enough hot water to cover the cutlery. Place cutlery on foil and let stand for 5 mins. until the stains are gone.

Rinse and polish dry.

Dear Reena, How can I get a strong mouldy smell out of clothing? Marilyn Dear Marilyn, Soak washable clothes in either white vinegar (the smell of vinegar will evaporate), or 1 cup washing soda and 10 cups water or 1 cup borax and 10 cups water. Leave for 30 minutes and wash as usual. Make sure that you pour the entire contents of whichever product you choose into the washing machine. Doing so will not only freshen fabrics; but will also clean out the hoses in your washing machine.

Dear Reena, A year or two ago you published a cinnamon bun recipe in the paper. It calls for 2 cups of potato water – what is that? Water potatoes have soaked in? Water potatoes have been cooked in? Thanks for your help! Evelyn Dear Evelyn, Yes, I was referring to the water in which potatoes are cooked. The water with added starch makes excellent bread dough. When making potato water, wash and peel 3 potatoes. Cut potatoes and add to a half pot of water. Boil for about 20 mins. (or until potatoes are soft). Drain the potato water into a measuring cup. Cool before using in dough recipe. Cooked potatoes or leftover mashed potatoes can also be used in potato bread recipes.

Dear Reena, Is there anything that I can wipe on my feet to get rid or foot odour? Thanks, Darcy Dear Darcy, Pour vodka on a cloth and wipe your feet.

Vodka is an amazing odour killer for fabrics as well as skin.

Take the sting out of bandage removal I hold a warm blow dryer on the corner of the bandage. As the glue softens, the bandage peels off without pain. Submitted by Marilyn.

Wiping the area with witch hazel, olive oil, baby oil or tea tree oil immediately releases bandages from the surface. Submitted by Connor.

Use a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol to release bandage glue. Works like a charm!

Lazy at laundry

My 12-year-old daughter had an assignment for her home economics class that required her to do two loads of laundry from start to finish, and have a parent rate each step on a scale from one to five.

Overseeing Daisy’s eight steps of homework made me realize I’m lazy at laundry, and I’ve been doing it all wrong.

First on the list was sorting piles, checking labels, emptying pockets and choosing which loads to wash first. Normally I do none of that.

My idea of sorting is dumping all the towels on the ground and throwing the rest in the washing machine until it’s full, but not so full it will break.

Second entailed going through the clothes to look for stains, and pre-treat or soak wherever needed.

Pre-treat and soak with what, I wondered? There used to be a bottle of Spray ’N Wash on the shelf, but someone must have used it because it hasn’t been there for ages.

Third was selecting the water temperature and level, and adjusting the size setting so no water would be wasted on a small load of wash.

I can’t even fathom a small load of wash. Not since I had children, anyway. Also mentioned was the task of separating darks from lights. I do remember doing that once upon a time. I’m not sure why or when that stopped, but I don’t recall noticing a difference in the results.

Fourth was instructions about measuring detergent. That reminded me of the time when I was a kid and I put in way too much powder and the laundry soap started overflowing out the top and sides of the machine and all over the floor, filling up the room so high I had bubbles up to my neck. Or that might have been an episode of Brady Bunch. It’s all a blur.

Fifth was about loading clothes with the right side out, unless Daisy was wanting to protect a print

design. Normally I do not give this any thought whatsoever. I scoop out the contents of the hamper, throw it into the machine, put in the Tide gel pod, turn it on at the largest load setting and leave. At some point I will remember to take the wet clothes out – hopefully before it smells weird.

Sixth was adding fabric softener – either to the wash or dryer. I’ve never used the liquid kind, but I often use a fabric softener sheet. I ran out a couple months ago and miss them enough to think about adding them to the shopping list, but not enough to actually write it down so they’re remembered once I get to the store.

Seventh said to dry the laundry as soon as the wash was finished, and to shake the clothes out before putting them in the dryer. Apparently that makes them dry faster with fewer wrinkles. If only I could do that to my face.

Eighth was the last on the list and instructed Daisy to fold or hang the clothes as soon as they’re dry to avoid wrinkling. My strategy has always been to throw the entire load into an empty hamper and wait until a few more hampers are full of clean clothes that everyone can rummage around in for days looking for whatever specific item they’re wanting. I recognize that immediately folding, hanging and putting the clothes where they belong is another way to go.

I gave Daisy an outstanding grade because she’s far better at this laundry thing than I am. She even remembered to empty the lint collector before using the dryer.

I think it’s time to pass the torch from the lazy laundress to the livelier one, and I look forward to her next home economics assignment.

45 Years

With just one week until their 45th wedding anniversary, happily married Kate (Charlotte Rampling) and Geoff (Tom Courtenay) Mercer’s excited plans for their celebration are suddenly hindered with the simple arrival of a letter; bearing the untimely news that the body of Geoff’s long-lost first love has been discovered, frozen and perfectly preserved in the icy glaciers of the Swiss Alps. Having so rarely mentioned her in the past, Geoff’s freshly unearthed sorrow now can’t seem to stop him bringing her up at every opportunity while Kate finds herself consumed with the self-doubt that her entire marriage has been tainted, and struggles to understand the effects of the woman she never knew.

Rampling and Courtenay both won the Silver Bear award at the Berlin International Film Festival for Best Acting and Rampling has received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

45 Years shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 6th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Arts AGM results

There was a very positive mood at the AGM of the Shuswap Society for the Arts and Culture.

This coming year will see the completion of its business concept document and everyone is looking forward to being part of the City’s Cultural Master Plan Task Force. The society eventually wants to have a professional facility study done and has already raised half the funds needed. Several community non-profit groups have shown interest in being part of the proposed performing arts centre and their interests will be incorporated into the plan. As one of the members said at the meeting, “If you build it, they will come.”

Four board members are returning, James Bowlby, Cilla Budda, Jake Jacobson, and Susan Robinson. Three new board members were voted in: Dennis Benson, Shawn Greek, and Jim Grieve.

Funkin’ it up!

“It’s amazing the amount of talent in Salmon Arm!” With these words Kathy Bradford thanked the S. A. Actors’ Studio for their last performance at the Wicked Spoon.

This talented theatre company is opening its new show Funkin’ Dead at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort on Thursday. It runs for the next three weekends. One of the talented members playing the star performer at the Kitty Club is Elaine Holmes.

Elaine has found theatre relatively recently. She has been able to meld her love of dance and singing in the role of Rosa Perelli, a strong woman who is trying to make her relationship work with the manager of the club and hit man, played

by Mike Nash.

Holmes says she empathizes with Rosa, who has spunk, and is a fiery, no-nonsense person. Rosa doesn’t have a lot of choices. If she leaves the club she may find another job and by leaving will leave the man she is trying to love. The comedy in the play comes from the ups and downs of their relationship.

Highlights of the show are the seven songs Holmes sings with her dynamic voice. Rosa is not able to break the cycle. Holmes says Rosa has a softer side but has buried it as

she gives her all to the life of a sleazy club singer.

Surprisingly, Elaine has only acted in a few shows – one in high school, and then she got hooked playing Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors. This past year she played the Russian spy in Pack of Lies.

She has recently teamed up with Peter Clarke, creating the music duo Green Room.

Having raised a family, Elaine looks forward to more music and more theatre as well as enjoying her work as an artist. Funkin’ Dead director James Bowlby says Elaine is a delight to work with. She is able to create a believable character, add an enormous impact with her singing and assist the production with ideas that make it the hit show that it is. He hopes he can entice her to act in another SA Actors’ Studio Production.

Funkin’ Dead runs February 4-6, 12-13, and 19-20, 7:00 p.m. at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort.

Tickets are available at saactorsstudio.com or Intwined Fibre Arts, 80 Hudson Street across from the Art Gallery.

Know your salt

All salt is essentially sea salt; either from modern oceans today, dead seas, or ancient sea beds. The human body contains many salts, of which sodium chloride is the major one, making up around 0.4 per cent of the body’s weight at a concentration pretty well equivalent to that in seawater. So a 50kg person would contain around 40 teaspoons of salt. Since we lose salt whenever we sweat, it has to be continually replaced. The trick to a healthy salt intake, rich in very important minerals, is to shop for the right salt.

Unrefined sea salt contains 60+ trace minerals. Most of the highly acclaimed Celtic sea salt is mined and dried from large ponds off the shore in France. I understand that the Atlantic is less polluted than the Pacific, but what exactly is “less polluted”? It would be fair to share that this remark was a footnote on the Redmond Real Salt website….

Redmond Real Salt ™ is mined in Utah from an ancient sea bed, just like Himalayan rock salt is mined from huge ancient sea beds. It sure makes me wonder where all this water came from so high up in the mountains.

foodsalive

The

COURTESY OF OKANAGAN RAWSOME

Himalayan salt, with its lovely pink colour, is mined in different areas in Pakistan and then crushed. This salt contains 80+ different trace minerals. Worth noting are the five essential major minerals: calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. Other important trace elements consist of chromium, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, zinc and selenium.

Your ordinary table salt contains iodine (added for a very good reason), MSG, and some white sugar to stabilize the iodine and some aluminum derivatives.

The salt of the earth has sustained us for thousands of years; indeed, our very survival depended on it. Salt, after all, has been used for centuries to preserve our food and keep us hydrated.

New research shows that it aids our immune system to fight infections, related to the not-so-new practice of healing and cleaning wounds with saline solutions.

All this leads me to wonder why salt has become the new villain in our diet.

or high blood pressure will be prudently advised by their MD to avoid salt, or at least drastically reduce their salt intake. Salt and water retention go hand in hand, and that is not a good thing when you have high blood pressure. Research is also pointing the finger at sugar as part of the water retention problem. It appears that high insulin levels make it hard for your body to excrete sodium. The water retention finger is also pointing at medications, the birth control pill, anti-histamines and, oddly enough, cholesterol-lowerong drugs. It seems prudent to supplement with minerals when we are on a low salt diet. Our food is mineral deficient, as our soil is becoming more and more depleted; so a mineral supplement is probably a good idea for most of us.

I am going to put a vacation on our bucket list to Salzberg/Hallstatt or Poland’s “Underground Salt Cathedral” in Wieliczka, and see Europe’s most ancient salt mines to have a close look at the fascinating history of salt.

Greeting cards still essential on Valentine’s Day Billions of greeting cards are sold and exchanged each year, and Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular days of the year to give a loved one a greeting card.

The Greeting Card Association says 145 million Valentine’s Day units are sold in the United States each year. The association says seven out of 10 surveyed card buyers consider greeting cards to be essential to them, and are passing on the greeting card tradition to younger generations.

Though the tradition of exchanging greeting cards is still going strong, few may know the history and etiquette behind this time-tested tradition.

people keep them for five to seven days. Some special occasion cards, such as milestone birthdays or religious rites of passage, may warrant holding on to the card for posterity. However, the length of time cards are kept is entirely at the discretion of the recipient.

Etiquette Sending cards requires a little know-how. Start out with a high-quality card to show that you value the recipient. If you’re taking the time to send a greeting card, make sure it looks like you put some effort into its selection.

Greeting card history The tradition of exchanging greeting cards can be traced back to ancient China, where people exchanged messages of good will to celebrate the New Year. Over time, greeting cards were exchanged for various reasons, and by the 1850s greeting cards were transformed from handmade, expensive purchases to relatively affordable means of personal communication and well-wishing.

Valentine’s Day greetings have been popular since the Middle Ages, when they were sung or spoken aloud to special people. Cards were popularized in the 1400s, and the oldest known Valentine created during this era is on display in the British Museum in London. Valentines were initially made by hand, but by the end of the 1800s, the process of making cards was handled by machinery. Esther Howland, an American printer and artist, was one of the first to publish and sell valentines in the United States. Yet it took a few more years for a card company to manufacture and distribute valentines.

Be sure your card list is continually updated with new addresses and contact information. If you do so regularly, it’s easier to send cards when the time comes.

Ensure greeting cards will arrive on time by mailing them out a week or two before the special day. Few things are worse than a card arriving late and seeming like an afterthought.

Address cards by hand and sign them personally.

Although desktop printers can make fast work of card mailings, writing things out by hand is a special touch that indicates you care. Personal greeting cards for close friends and family members may also deserve an extra special touch, like including a custom message or a photograph.

Flowers can be used to convey love, friendship, compassion, and desire.

In Victorian times, flowers were given specific meanings because only a few exotic flowers were readily available, and many of these meanings have withstood the test of time. Giving a type of flower that signifies you just want to be friends may not bode well for a relationship when the recipient was hoping for more. As a result, it pays to understand the subtle meaning of flowers to make giftgiving easier.

Important Valentines Public Service Announcement

Heather: solitude Hyacinth: sincerity

Flowers can be used to convey love, friendship, compassion, and desire.

In Victorian times, flowers were given specific meanings because only a few exotic flowers were readily available, and many of these meanings have withstood the test of time. Giving a type of flower that signifies you just want to be friends may not bode well for a relationship when the recipient was hoping for more. As a result, it pays to understand the subtle meaning of flowers to make giftgiving easier.

Hydrangea: perseverance Iris: inspiration

This is your life-saving reminder that your spouse would really, really, really like a box of Rogers’ Chocolates this Valentine’s Day! The “Candy Vault” will save you from spending the remainder of your life in the doghouse...

Jasmine: grace and elegance Lilac: first love Magnolia: dignity

Mon-Sat, 11am-5pm Downtown Salmon Arm 250-833-5541

Marigold: desire for riches Orange Blossom: fertility Orchid: delicate beauty Pansy: loving thoughts

Happy Chinese New Year!

Passion flower: passion

Gung Hai Fat Choy!

Ranunculus: radiant Pink rose: admiration or appreciation

The Society of American Florists has compiled the following list of flower meanings from various sources. But in spite of these meanings, keep in mind you can always work with a florist to design a personal arrangement that speaks directly to that special someone this Valentine’s Day.

Welcome the Year of the Monkey 2016

SPORTS & LEISURE Hockey Day

Backs win 6-1 in front of 1,688 fans on Hockey Day in Salmon Arm, the biggest crowd of the year.

The Silverbacks got back into the win column on Saturday night, by beating the Vernon Vipers 6-1 at the Shaw Centre in Salmon Arm on Hockey Day in Salmon Arm. The ‘Backs scored the first three goals of the game and led 3-0 after the first period. Nick Hutchison opened the scoring at 14:11 on the power-play, his 12th of the season and first goal since returning to the lineup on Friday in Vernon.

Hutchison increased the lead to 2-0 with his 13th at 17:59. And Ross Heidt potted his 27th with 47 seconds remaining in the first period.

The Silverbacks outshot the Vipers 19-5.

Heidt scored the only goal in the middle frame, his second of the night and 28th at 16:08. The ‘Backs outshot the Vipers 13-12 in the sec-

ond period and took a 4-0 lead into the third.

Colton McCarthy of Salmon Arm had the Vipers lone goal 1:37 into the final frame, on the power-play with Hutchison penalized for roughing after the whistle.

Josh Laframboise dropped the gloves with the Steven Jandric of the Vipers in the second period and Heidt put the home team ahead 5-1 with his third of the game and 29th of the season at 14:47. Josh Latta finished the scoring at 18:41 and short-handed, as Damian Chreck was off for cross-checking.

The Vipers outshot the ‘Backs 12-8 in the third, but the Silverbacks outshot Vernon 40-29 total.

The ‘Backs have now won the series with the Vipers, five games to two. The Silverbacks are 13-5-32 at the Shaw Centre and 15-6-1-3 versus the Interior Division.

AP Josh Latta scored in back-toback games in his Silverbacks and BCHL debut. The 17-year-old of the North West Giants has committed to the ‘Backs for next season. Latta has 13 goals and 40 assists in 28 games and is tied for the scoring lead in the BC Major Midget League.

Pirate invasion!

By Chris McMahen Friday, January 29th saw Larch Hills invaded by over 500 skiing pirates from grades one to eight for the twelfth annual Pirate Loppet.

Donning eyepatches, tri-cornered hats, and even the odd stuffed parrot, the skiers cumulatively logged over 2,000 kilometres along the two-kilometre and five-kilometre courses. Nineteen different schools from Armstrong to Revelstoke and Enderby to Sorrento were represented, with Grindrod Elementary taking home the coveted Pirate Loppet Flag for having the most skiers per school population.

This unique event was originally spearheaded by local teacher, Brian Smith, and is thought to be the largest children’s ski event in the province. The goal of this non-competitive event is to encourage cross-country skiing as a fun, active and social experience, and appeal to a wide range of ages and skiing abilities.

Throughout January, over forty Larch Hills ski club volunteers hosted local schools, introducing them to the trails and preparing them for the Pirate Loppet. These sessions enabled the young skiers to develop their skills and gain confidence in this lifetime sport.

The event was made possible by incredible support from the community. School District #83 Director of Instruction Morag Asquith acted as official starter, along with Monashee Mountain Man Mike Evans and his trusty black powder rifle. The Shuswap Lady Striders served up hundreds of hot dogs for the hungry skiers. Dozens of Larch Hills Nordic Club volunteers served to direct traffic in the parking lot, hand out and collect number bibs, groom a perfect ski track, and keep the skiers on course and safe along the route. Numerous local businesses and organizations donated their time, equipment, money and draw prizes. “Arrr” announcer, Cap’n Tom, fostered the atmosphere with his pirate banter and a string of knee-slapping pirate jokes.

Funds raised through the Pirate Loppet are given back to schools in the form of a grant to purchase cross-country ski equipment. Over the past five years, $10,000 has been granted.

Take a copy of the Lakeshore News with you. Then, have a photo taken of you holding the paper, and send it in to us with some information about your trip. We will print it and pay you $10, plus enter you in our annual Travels To contest to win a further $20.

The idea of “thinking globally and acting locally” found new meaning this week with the sold out annual Shuswap Trail Party and Fundraiser set to rock Friday. The Shuswap Trail Alliance is catching international attention through a growing relationship with the AMA Torres del Paine, in Patagonia, Chile. The AMA is a non-profit conservation organization that works with the Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, Chile.

“We’ve been sharing a conversation between our two organizations for several months now,” said Shuswap Trail Alliance executive director, Phil McIntyre-Paul, thanks to a connection made

by Ross Cloutier with the Thompson Rivers University Faculty of Adventure, Tourism, and Culinary Arts. Cloutier connected the two organizations through TRU Adventure’s international partnership with eco-tourism organizations in Patagonia.

Torres del Paine, Patagonia, is recognized as one of the top trekking and climbing destinations on the planet. It is visited annually by travellers from around the world. The AMA Torres del Paine works with the Chilean National Parks service providing conservation and educational programs. Part of their work includes maintaining the trail system.

“We have an internationally known trail system,” says AMA president, Mauricio Kusanovic.

“But many of the trails originate from old cattle trails. So we have significant issues with erosion and a need for restoration, but we don’t have the technical trail building knowledge.” Enter the Shuswap Trail Alliance and two of their technical support specialists, Veda Roberge and Jacob (Sutra) Brett.

Veda and Sutra are volunteering two weeks of their time this month to visit Patagonia and share technical knowledge with the AMA Torres del

Paine leadership. “We are super excited to be able to experience this beautiful part of the planet and also share with others who are trying to do similar work to the Trail Alliance,” say Veda and Sutra. In return, they will be learning about the partnerships and work of the conservation organization, and making international connections for the Shuswap Trail Alliance.

“This is really an amazing opportunity to learn from an organization that has a long history of collaborating with international partners,” says McIntyre-Paul, noting their sponsors include businesses like Patagonia Clothing and Outdoor Gear. “We’re humbled to be able to share a little of our own knowledge in return.” Veda and Sutra will share insights from their visit to Torres del Paine, Patagonia, at the upcoming Shuswap Trail Alliance Annual General Meeting on March 2nd, 7:00 p.m., at Okanagan College in Salmon Arm. 2016 marks the beginning of a new decade for Shuswap Trail Alliance regional partners growing trails and greenways throughout the region.

The coming season is poised to bring new milestones with projects in every region and municipality, including completion of the North Fork Wild Conservation Park trails with CSRD Parks in Area E, new additions to the Larch Hills Traverse, Rubberhead, South Canoe, Mt Baldy, North Shuswap, launch of the new Shuswap Trails Strategy and Roundtable, and the very real potential of major new legacy projects like the Sicamous to Armstrong Rail-Trail.

The Shuswap Trail Alliance will also welcome trail leadership from around the province this year for the annual Share the Trails Workshop hosted by the Outdoor Recreation Council and the Horse Council BC (May 6th and 7th). The annual gathering of provincial trail organizations explores common issues related to trail development. Photo contributed.

Garibaldi ski resort gets B.C. approval

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press The B.C. government has issued an environmental assessment certificate for Garibaldi at Squamish mountain resort, proposed as a major competitor for North Shore ski hills and WhistlerBlackcomb resort.

The project has faced strong commercial and environmental opposition over 15 years, and the approval comes with 40 conditions and cautions about its impacts to the area.

The Squamish Nation is a partner in the Garibaldi project, which proposes expansion over 25 years to a 22,000-bed yearround resort village on Brohm Ridge near Squamish. It includes 23 ski lifts and 124 developed ski trails, scaled down from the original plan that included two golf courses and more housing.

Squamish Nation Chief Ian Campbell said the certificate is the first step in getting the project going, and more approvals will be needed from his council and the province.

“Squamish Nation will obtain a licence over a wilderness area that will be equal in size to the project area to practise its aboriginal rights,” Campbell said in a statement. “Although the project is controversial, Squamish Nation is comfortable that its cultural and environmental interests have been protected and that it will

share appropriately in the economic benefits of the project.”

In issuing the certificate, Environment Minister Mary Polak and Forests Minister Steve Thomson noted that the proponents made significant changes during environmental assessment.

They include changing the water supply from Brohm River surface water to groundwater, as

well as removing golf courses and housing near Cat and Brohm Lakes, which are popular recreation lakes for Squamish residents.

Whistler council has lobbied the B.C. government to reject the project, arguing it would take business away from existing resorts, rather than draw more skiers in a “cluster effect” as argued by its proponents.

The Federation of Mountain Clubs of B.C. has also opposed the development, suggesting it may result in a move to expand into Garibaldi Park, as was the case with the WhistlerBlackcomb expansion.

5th Annual Bingo Rally

Looking for something to do on the Family Day long weekend? The Hunters Range Snowmobile Association is holding their 5th Annual Bingo Rally in conjunction with Snowarama on Sunday February 7th. It is a wonderful event for the whole family. This year a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities.

Playing bingo while snowmobiling may not seem a likely combination, but it can be a whole lot of fun. Participants ride along the groomed trail, stopping at stations to cross off snowmobiling-themed words that correspond with those displayed on signs. At the chalet the cards are turned in for judging and hot food and beverages are enjoyed by many. Local dealers also bring out the new iron for everyone to demo. At the end of the day, the

individuals with the most horizontal and vertical lines on their cards are announced as the winners, and take home cash prizes. Registration will be at the Ashton Brash Trailhead between 7:30 and 11:00 a.m. Cards are $5 for 1 or $20 for 5.

Bring the family out for a good cause! There will be no trail fees for those participating.

If you don’t want to participate in the day’s festivities but are eager to make a contribution and have a chance at the winnings, bingo cards can be purchased from HRSA directors as well as Johnson Meier/ McLeod Insurance in Enderby.

Club members will play the public’s cards.

Oliver Chronicle Included in the seven videos is Osoyoos Times one about the family experience, which features Rylee McKinlay, 20, and mother Terri McKinlay.

5.81” X her 6.07” When Rylee was 16 she was hospitalized for 9 weeks at BC Children’s 340 lines for her anorexia.

At her sickest, her (4 columns x 85 lines) heart rate was so low she was at risk of dying of heart failure.

Eating disorders (ED) affect 1.5% of young women age 15 to 24 in BC. In recent years, rates of EDs have been increasing in men, too.

EDs are the deadliest of all mental health concerns, with up to 15% of those with the diagnosis eventually dying directly from the disorder.

The videos were filmed last year in Kimberley, BC, when six experts from the provincial program travelled to the region to present a day

long-workshop. Now the edited videos are being released province-wide to help spread the knowledge more widely to other regions that may struggle with how to provide up-to-date and effective treatment in BC’s more rural and remote locations.

The videos are a project of the East Kootenay Local Action Team, which is part of the province-wide Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use Collaborative. The Collaborative is a province-wide initiative that aims to improve the awareness, coordination, and timely access of child and youth mental health services. The Collaborative brings together a wide array of people into Local Actions Teams designed to find collective community solutions to specific mental health issues.

There are now 65 local action teams all across BC. The funding for the collaborative comes primarily from the Shared Care Committee, a joint committee of the Doctors of BC and the BC Government.

Funding for the whole initiative has also come from two other joint Doctors of BC/BC government committees.

The videos can be found at the Shared Care website. http://sharedcarebc.ca/initiatives/CYMHSUResources

Maria Kunze It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Maria Kunze on Saturday, January 30, 2015, at the age of 88. Maria was born in Berlin, Germany.

After graduating high school, Maria worked as a secretary. It is in Berlin that Maria met her husband, Karl- Heinz. Married for 51 years, they raised three sons, Dietmar, Reinhard and John.

In the fifties, the family began a new life in Calgary and called this city home for many years. Karl-Heinz and Maria eventually retired to White Lake, BC, where they took pride in tending to their garden and orchard. A woman of faith, Maria was active in the Seventh Day Adventist church. She also loved to sew, knit and fish. In her final months at Hillside Manor in Salmon Arm, she enjoyed playing the organ, listening to German music and writing her memoirs.

Maria is predeceased by her husband, Karl-Heinz in November 2003 and her son, Dietmar in May 2007. She will be lovingly remembered by her sons, Reinhard and John, daughters-in-law, Rae Kunze, Cheryl Guttridge, and Claudette Fink-Kunze, grandchildren Cindy (James) Gibbons, Christine (Dennis) Kovacic, Chartotte (Walter) Mandel, Carolynne (Steven) Wolfe, Corrine (Gary) Gordon, Daniel (Zlata) Kunze, Christopher Kunze, Laurie Tripp and 12 great-grandchildren.

A celebration of Maria’s life will be held at the Seventh Day Adventist Church (3270 60 Avenue NE) in Salmon Arm BC on Sunday, February 6, 2016 at 1:30 pm.

Memorials in Maria’s name may be made to a charity of one’s choice.

He also worked in children’s and psychiatric hospitals.

During his 22 years in Victoria, he was instrumental in creating programs for Capital Families. One of his favourites was the “Tanta-Oom” mentoring project which matched young people with professionals in their fields of interest. Some of his other workshops were “Dads and Kids” and “Anger Management”.

As a Chaplain in the Unitarian Church, he conducted marriages and memorial services. He was an amateur artist and musician, and wrote reviews of musical events for several newspapers. More recently, he offered a course on “Civil Debate” at Okanagan College in Salmon Arm. Dave is lovingly remembered by his wife, Jean Ethridge; son Tony (Nicole); grandchildren, Bethany, David, and Megan, and son Andrew (Lisa); grandchildren, Haylen and Jager, and other extended family.
