HEALTH & BEAUTY Special Olympics creates a place to shine

Zumba with its rhythmic beat and cool moves is a welcome addition to any fitness routine. A Latin inspired cardio-dance workout, Zumba puts music and “joie de vivre” into any exercise routine - and Jacquie Bolen, Club Fit coach for Special Olympics BC - Salmon Arm, knows how much the athletes enjoy it. She regularly introduces exercises that are new and different to the regular fare of volley ball, tennis, obstacle courses and bocce. Club Fit is a fitness program designed specifically for Special Olympics athletes to improve their health and fitness outside of their participation in the other programs. It gives them an extra day of sport in the gym. It improves athletes’

overall wellness by concentrating not only on physical health but also on emotional, mental and nutritional health needs. If you know of an individual over the age of five with intellectual disabilities, encourage them and their caregivers to consider Special Olympics BC. This sector of our society is not often

included in other circles and does not have the advantages that we take for granted. But people with intellectual disabili-

ties can, and will, succeed when given the opportunity — Special Olympics BC merely levels the playing field by giving them a chance to shine. We have wonderful coaches who are dedicated to providing the best sport experience for our athletes.

They are the backbone of our organization and the athletes respect and like them. We are most in need of a basketball coach at this time but are actively building a team of volunteers in all aspects of our organization. We welcome volunteers of all ages; all that is required is a desire to help the athletes enrich their lives through the joy of sport. Whether you’re a sports enthusiast or simply a fan of courage and determination, we

encourage you come out and be a part of our community. There are many roles that volunteers can fill and the amount of time you spend as a volunteer is your choice; all efforts are valued.

Come join us; prepare to be inspired! We see it over and over again — through the joy of sport, Special Olympics has the power to transform lives.

Athletes who, when they joined us, started with very rudimentary skills or social capabilities have integrated and developed into great teammates and now they perform with skill, joy, and enthusiasm. For further information contact Aly Clifton: 250675-2334, or email alysoncso@ gmail.com

Infant diet and childhood health

I am writing this article to encourage new Moms to breastfeed their newborns for as long as possible and for at least the first 4 months after birth. Multiple studies show the importance of breastfeeding for health and an especially good one is referred to as the Dundee Infant Feeding Study.

In this paper researchers followed nearly 700 infants from birth to 7 years of age to look at infant feeding history compared to childhood health around the age of 7. Various aspects of health of these children was assessed including respiratory illness, growth, body composition, and blood pressure. These health indicators were compared to length of time breastfeeding and the time of introduction of solid foods.

To summarize the results they found that the incidence of respiratory illness occurring ANY TIME during childhood is significantly reduced if infants are breastfed only and do not consume any solid foods for the first 15 weeks of life. For babies not breastfed for these first months, the early introduction of solids is associated with increased body fat and weight in childhood.

Exclusive bottle feeding is also related to higher blood pressure in childhood, and delaying solids until after 15 weeks may have a beneficial effect on childhood health and subsequent adult disease.

So, once again the research supports breastfeeding has lifelong positive effects on health. For patients in my office I strongly encourage our new moms to breastfeed for the first year if possible. I also would like to note that a common source of breastfeeding challenges for new moms is when babies are subluxated from the birthing process. I often see babies who have subluxation and upper neck stress/tension that results in challenges in latching-on while breastfeeding. Subluxations often cause neck discomfort and loss of movement in the infant’s neck.

Cranial issues from the birth process will also effect the baby’s palate and mouth shape interfering with the ability to effectively create adequate suction.

The good news is these commonly seem problems in newborns are safely and easily corrected by a Chiropractor who is comfortable and is experienced adjusting babies.

Removal of nerve interference and restoration of proper mechanical function in the neck and jaw of an infant is essential to extending the period of breastfeeding.

Dr. Warren Gage is a Chiropractor at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic with a special interest in pediatrics and can be reached at (250) 8030224.

Opening our eyes

By Nan Dickie If it hasn’t happened to you yet, it may. A friend or loved one blurts out, or whispers, “I’m so depressed;” or, “I can barely get through each day;” or, “I feel so awful; I’m afraid I may hurt myself.” Or, you may notice that she is sleeping an inordinate time, eating very little, and has no energy. Or he is isolating himself, his eyes always lowered, and he’s not doing any of the things he usually enjoys. These comments and behaviours may indicate an episode of clinical depression.

We’re not comfortable hearing statements such as these. No matter how they express it, depressed people are courageously reaching out to you in their emotional and mental pain, while being convinced that they are failures.

Given all of that, what would you say to her? How would you respond to him?

The first thing to know, and remember, is what a depressed person wants most of all - to be heard, to be believed, and to be respected. You have an opportunity to provide this safe space. You may feel nervous - the knee-jerk reaction is often “What am I supposed to do here?” whereas the best thing is simply to listen and be present.

When well-intentioned people offer responses that don’t come across well, it is often because they don’t know what to say. So, what are helpful responses? First I’ll offer what usually doesn’t work.

If you respond by saying something like “Lighten up; the world isn’t falling apart,” or

What would you say? Responding to “I am so depressed”

“You don’t have any reason to be depressed; you’re smart; you’ve got a job; you have lots of friends,” you are not helping. In these cases, you are simply reacting, not responding sensitively to him or her.

You may feel you are empathizing with your friend by saying “I know what you mean.

I’ve been depressed too.” You may well get depressed. But unless you have a mood disorder as they do, your experience of depression will be qualitatively different than theirs.

S o m e t i m e s well-meaning people want to help a person who is depressed in some practical way.

But the depressed person may not want help.

Suggesting “solutions” can backfire - the depressed person may feel worse because your strategy didn’t

work for them.

What responses to “I am so depressed” are more likely to work?

You could quietly say, to start, “I’m very sorry to hear that.”

You are showing the person that you care and you hear their pain.

Or, “Would you like to talk about it?” You are indicating openness and willingness to hear more, to stay with the person. Or “Is there anything I can do?”

You are letting them know that you are willing to get involved for now in some way that the depressed person needs. Or “Do you think seeing someone (your therapist, counsellor, family doctor, psychiatrist) would help?” Medical attention may be imperative. People who are depressed - clinically or not - often can’t think clearly or make decisions easily.

If you say, “May I phone you in a few days?” you are indicating that you will not just disappear. If they say something like, “Oh, it doesn’t matter,” you need to say, “I’ll give you a call in a few days,” and then do it.

I really appreciate when a friend says, “I’ll be thinking about you,” because I feel so alone and isolated when I’m depressed.

Sometimes, when I feel particularly low, I will phone a friend and say, “I just need you to know that I am having a tough time right now.

I don’t want you to do anything. I just need you to know.” It’s a life-line.

If your loved one has already experienced an episode of depression, you could respond with, “I’m so sorry. I know how tough it was for you last time;” or, “Do you remember

what you did last time that helped you through it?”

After you have given your initial response, listen and wait. Don’t jump in. If he doesn’t say anything, be silent for a few minutes. He may need to spill out a lot of built up pain and fear. Let him release it.

Don’t hesitate to ask her, “Are you afraid of harming yourself?” or, “Do you feel safe?” If she is suicidal, take her to the hospital now.

Stay with him until he feels safe to be on his own.

Now it’s time to consider you, the other person in this dyad, the one who has been compassionately listening and responding to a depressed friend or loved one. You need to look after yourself, to set boundaries. It doesn’t help either of you if you get overly-emotionally

involved. You need to replenish. Share your feelings with a close friend. Talk to a professional, if necessary.

[Nan Dickie has lived with clinical depression since her teens. She is the peer facilitator of the local depression support group (DSG).

Meetings take place the first and third Mondays at Askews Uptown conference room at noon (including Mondays of long weekends). Everyone welcome. Info: ndickie@telus.net; 250 8323733.]

Sorrento Health Centre receives Barnard Bequest The Shuswap Hospital Foundation was honoured to have received a donation of $10,000 from the late Frank Barnard, this donation was specifically requested to be used to assist the Sorrento & Area Community Health Centre.

Fiona Harris, Director of Development for the Foundation, visited the Sorrento Health Centre recently to present a cheque in that amount to the Centre. The Centre has indicated that the funds will assist it in completing the second stage of the renovation to its exam rooms. In addition, they have constructed a memorial wall to recognize community donors who have made the Health Centre possible. The Frank Barnard Memorial Tree is featured on the wall at the Sorrento Health Centre and the tree was painted by local artist Judy Frederickson.

Frank Barnard lived in Sorrento/Blind Bay his whole life and believed it to be the finest place in the world. His interest in trees and reforestation led him to establish the forerunner of the Sorrento Tree Nursery. In his final days, he received care from staff at the Health Centre in Sorrento which he so appreciated.

The Health Centre is unique in British Columbia as Judy Deringer, Nurse Practitioner, operates independently in its location above Munro´s Sorrento Prescriptions on the TransCanada Highway in Sorrento. Nurse Practitioners are able to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide variety of conditions, order diagnostic tests, and make referrals to specialists.

The Sorrento & Area Community Health Centre is a partnership between Interior Health and the community.

SHAW CENTRE WAS PACKED FOR GAME AGAINST VERNON VIPERS On Sat., Jan. 30, Silverbacks played Vernon Vipers to 1,688 fans. There was standing room only. Our team was beaten at Vernon the night before, 3 to 2, but Silverbacks beat their rivals, Vernon Vipers, 6 to 1 on the 30th. It was Hockey Day in Salmon Arm and Shaw Centre had many minor hockey players and parents in the arena.

Before the game, Roy Sakaki, administrator of Salmon Arm Minor Hockey, introduced former presidents. The 50-50 draw sold $2,400 in tickets, of which half went to the player’s scholarship fund and half to the winner of the draw.

MINOR HOCKEY HAS THE MOST PLAYERS Roy Sakaki announced that Salmon Arm Minor Hockey has a record-breaking number of players this season: 423, the highest in 8 years. I am sure that the interaction with the Silverbacks has helped increase young hockey players.

Every week we read about activities the Jr. A team has with young people, from skating with them to reading to young people. A young player is in the starting line-up at a home game. I am sure owner/general manager Troy Mick has been encouraging players to participate in the community every week.

MLA GREG KYLLO WAS AT THE GAME During the full-house game, MLA Greg Kyllo spotted me, came over and said he is at the game because of my column which he gets by email every week. He read that the game was on a weekend when he was home, and decided to attend. The previous game he was at was the teddy bear toss during the Silverbacks first goal. He brought a granddaughter and a bag of teddy bears, but she was asleep by the third period when Silverbacks scored, so he gave the bag to another child to throw onto the ice.

When I asked him to proofread this item, he replied: “You can add that I really appreciate receiving your column each week.”

BUY SUPER EARLY BIRD TICKETS BY FEB. 29 A reminder to buy season tickets to 28 Silverbacks regular games. Pay by Feb. 29 to get a super-low price. Help to fill Shaw Centre next season. Buy at a game, at the Silverbacks office in Shaw Centre, or call the Silverbacks box office at 250-832-3865 ext. 108. Price: Adult: $249.

A&W SERVES HEALTHY CHICKEN BURGERS Having seen many TV commercials about chicken burgers for $2.50 at A&W, I decided to try one. The chickens are raised without the use of antibiotics and fed a grainbased, vegetarian diet without animal by-products. It was delicious, and granny-sized, too!

CONGRATULATIONS, SAVE-ON FOODS! A full-page ad in last week’s Lakeshore News has Darrell, the CEO of the whole chain, saying: “Thank you for making us BC’s most-loved brand for the second consecutive year! We match all competitor flyer prices.” The bottom has two coupons.

R.J. Haney Heritage week

The week of February 15 - 20, 2016 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”.

We have, right in our 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 is 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 our popular Villains and Vittles Dinner Theatre Production in July and August. Visitors also experienced the many special events hosted by the Village with our 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 – 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

TFSA vs RSP part 2 Last week we talked about Registered Savings Plans (RSPs) and gave you a general outline of how they work. We also asked the question as to whether RSPs or Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) are better. As can be expected, the answer to whether you should contribute to an RSP versus a TFSA depends on a lot of factors.

So let’s take a more detailed look at this question.

In a perfect world, it would be easy to for me to say maximize your contributions to your RSPs and TFSAs. However, in reality, most of us don’t have the funds available to maximize both. So if you have a limited amount you want to save, what should you do?

Unlike the RSP we discussed last week, with a TFSA you do not receive a tax deduction when contributing. However, you don’t have to pay tax on your funds (including growth) when withdrawing the funds. With an RSP you get a tax deduction when you contribute, but your funds (including growth) are ultimately taxed upon withdrawal.

Let’s look at a simple hypothetical example.

Assume the Junior Bean Counter earns $5,500 in pre-tax income from selling his brother’s toys and is taxed at a rate of 20%. This leaves him with $4,400 ($5,500 - $1,100). He then invests the $4,400 in a TFSA and earns 3% or $132 dollars after one year ($4,400 x 3%). So he now has $4,532.

Now assume the Junior Bean Counter instead invests $5,500 of pre-tax income into a RSP. You essentially don’t pay tax on it because you get to claim an offsetting deduction on your tax return.

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 and from February 18th – 20th we will be at Piccadilly Mall where you can visit and bid on items at the silent auction tables. The silent auction is a major fundraiser for the Village & Museum 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 Villages 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 is hosting a Pioneer Breakfast starting at 8:30 a.m., cost is $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 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. at The Mall at Piccadilly, centre court. For official pie contest rules, call the Village at 250-832-5243 or email info@salmonarmmuseum.org. This popular pie contest promises to be lip-smacking tasty and everyone is welcome to participate! After the judging and awards, slices of the pies may be purchased for $2.50 each. At 12:00 p.m. the “Best of the

mallarkey

by Daron Mayes That $5,500 earns 3% after one year or $165, leaving a total of $5,665 inside the RSP. He then decides to withdraw the total amount and is taxed at the same 20% tax rate as noted in the first scenario. He will also end up with $4,532 ($5,665 - $1,133 or 20% x $5,665).

So as you can see the results are the same in the end. However, that only works if the tax rate at withdrawal is the same as the rate when the funds are contributed.

So what if the tax rate when you contribute is different than the rate when you withdraw? I will save you the pain of more calculations and simply tell you. Generally, RSPs make more sense if you anticipate your tax rate upon withdrawal to be lower than the rate when contributing. The opposite is also true in that a TFSA tends to make more sense if the anticipated tax rate at withdrawal is the same or higher than that when contributing.

However, like I said at the beginning, it isn’t as cut and dry as you may think. You also need to consider a variety of other factors like the effect future RSP income will have on your Old Age Security, Guaranteed Income Supplement, and other benefits or tax credits affected by your income. So unfortunately, it isn’t as clear cut as you would hope.

In the end, the important thing is to be saving your money in some form or another. However, it is worth asking the question of a professional as to what vehicle is best for you because if you are like the Junior Bean Counter, he doesn’t like paying any more taxes than necessary!

“Destinctive Destinations” Shuswap Pie Auction” will begin. 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!

At Family Fun Day everyone will enjoy the craft table, panning for real Haney gold, discovering the exhibit designed especially for Heritage Week by the Museum’s Curator, see pioneer displays, demonstrations, and more.

Star Wars in Salmon Arm

Daila Duford is going to Hollywood and she is hoping to come back with an award. Last year Daila, the Salmar Theatre’s General Manager, brought home first prize for their community promotion of the movie, The Boxtrolls. The award, the Eugene Amodeo Showmanship Award, is given for a theatre-inspired promotion. She is optimistic their promotion of Star Wars will help the Salmar retain its title.

“It’s the biggest promotion we’ve done so far. Our main focus was popcorn sales - 10 per cent of popcorn sales were donated to the food back. We’re splitting it between the Salvation Army and Second Harvest. I was expecting a couple of thousand but it was $3,600. The community is very generous.”

Normally Show Canada (the only national industry convention) holds their convention in Canada but this year they’re going to meet in Hollywood in honour of the film industry’s 100 year anniversary.

“We’ll have tours of the studios and we’ll have some seminars. I’m pretty excited.”

The promotion will be entered in the form of a book that will include the various promotions the Salmar did for Star Wars.

The entry is due in a few weeks and the winner will be announced during the convention that runs from May 30 June 2.

“The main thing is community involvement; that grabs their attention. We had trivia on opening night and prizes. The prizes ranged from speakers and toques and Star Wars toys to free movies and a life-sized cardboard cutout of Boba Fett.

We had eight prizes donated from businesses around town.”

But their promotion all started at the fall fair last year with their float in the parade.

“Alex Idzan built a 9’ cardboard AT-AT. That was so awesome. We had so much fun and the staff dressed up as Star Wars characters.”

Alex spent some 50 hours building the AT-AT (All Terrain Armoured Transport).

“I used styrofoam, skewers, cardboard, nuts and screws, staples, insulation, and lots of spray paint. I had the idea, I did the design and assembled the pieces, but I had help from the loyal staff,” says Alex.

It was a labour of the love for the 20-year-old who is a dedicated Star Wars fan.

“I’m a Star Wars nerd. I watched it since I was about five.”

The Star Wars lego that adorned the theatre were also Alex’s. [He can name characters and Star Wars facts with dizzying rapidity but is stumped when it comes to naming his favourite Star Wars movie].

“The Empire Strikes Back,” he says after a couple of minutes. “It has a dark tone - I’m a big fan of the anti-hero.”

At the Salmar the latest episode of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, beat out the 2009 movie Avatar, which had held the local box office record opening.

“From Boxing Day for two weeks we were sold out. We had people come three or four times.

One guy bought tickets for the next few nights. One man was so excited he was crying,” says Daila. The demographics ranged

friends&neighbours

“There were people bringing people from care homes and they were really excited,” she adds smiling.

Having a big box office hit not only helps the Salmar Theatre, but also the local economy as a whole. The Salmar is a non-profit organization so the profits go right back into the community.

“When people come to the theatre, a huge portion of every dollar goes back into the town. We give thousands in grants and scholarships every year. We’ve given over $1 million back since 1947.”

Library Card Contest

Artists and graphic designers from throughout the BC Southern Interior responded to the Okanagan Regional Library’s call for a new library card design, and after a difficult adjudication process, the library system is happy to unveil the winning creations.

“With over 130 entries, it was next to impossible to only choose four designs as we’d originally promoted, so there will be six new library card designs for our members and new customers to choose from,” says Marla O’Brien, Public Relations and Fundraising Manager for the ORL. The winners are: Bernie Ramis – card featuring Ogopogo, Laura Schretlen – card featuring sunset valley view, Don Ferguson – cards featuring the rocket ship and the “Read Every Day” slogan, Anne-Marie Estrada – card featuring the books in a graphic format, Jocelyn Wilson – card featuring the globe in one’s hands Judging was done by ORL staff using a combination of popular vote plus emphasis on diversity of visual look, method of creation, and appeal to a broad range of age and gender.

The judging was done blind with no identifiers so there was no basis on gender or residence of the artist. “We were really blown away by the diversity and creativity shown in the entries and are sincerely thankful to everyone who shared their vision with us,” O’Brien adds. The designs are now being readied for print and should be available in the ORL’s 29 branches by mid-late March. The new cards will include key tags and have barcodes pre-printed on the back, so members who wish to change their old card for a new design will be assigned a new barcode. The ORL Board agreed to waive the typical $2 replacement fee for six months so everyone who wants a new card for their wallet can get one free. Cards are also free to new members who live in, or own property or a business, in the ORL region.

One of the top performing asset classes through 2016 has been gold. Year to date, the yellow metal is up roughly 10% and has caught a bid during turbulent equity and macroeconomic conditions. Gold is the ultimate wealth insurance.

Unlike stocks, bonds and paper currencies, gold holds its value long term, no matter what happens in the economy. That’s why investors often buy gold (like right now) when they are nervous about stocks or bonds.

The price of gold is driven by four primary factors: inflation, real interest rates, the USD and fear. While government inflation numbers (CPI) suggest that prices are stable, anyone who pays for food, insurance, shelter and energy would advocate differently.

Shadowstats.com tracks the same basket of goods that measured inflation in the 1970s as today and their inflation numbers illustrate a rate

closer to 7% than the 2% reported by the government. Real interest rates are simply the difference of nominal or posted rate minus inflation. For example, if the nominal rate is 2% and the inflation rate is 2% the real rate is 0%. Gold typically performs well in low or negative real interest rate environments. This is why the government continues to change the basket of goods that comprises the consumer price index (CPI), which is the proxy for inflation, because many entitlement programs are adjusted for inflation.

Moving to arguably the biggest driver, the USD, the price of gold acts inversely to the greenback. A perfect example of this long standing relationship occurred in the 1970s when President Nixon closed the gold window. From 1934 through to 1971 physical gold was interchangeable with the USD at a fixed price of $35/oz. In 1971

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Nixon closed the gold window because the U.S. government needed to increase the money supply to pay for wars and ballooning debt. The price of gold skyrocketed from $35 in 1971 to $850 in 1980 while the USD value decreased significantly over that same period! If we take a look at the big picture today, all of the factors that drive gold are aligned to set the price free except for the recent relative strength in the USD. The below chart depicts that gold has been carving out a bottom, which is essential to start the next leg higher.

Valentine’s Day

Sunday, February 14, 2016 Frugal Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day A day set aside to shower a loved one with gifts and touching words of affection, Valentine’s Day brightens the often gloomy month of February. Established centuries ago with origins shrouded in mystery, Valentine’s Day has evolved into one of the most popular — and expensive — days of the year. Many couples celebrate Valentine’s Day with cards, gifts and nights out on the town, and such celebrations can stretch budgets.

Coming on the heels of post-holiday bills, Valentine’s Day can feel like a costly prospect. Yet, even those on a budget can enjoy a special day to remember without breaking the bank. The following are several frugal ways to enjoy Valentine’s Day.

• Turn older jewellery new again. Diamonds and other jewellery can be costly. If a new piece simply isn’t in the budget, consider repurposing an older piece of jewellery that isn’t worn as often. It’s amazing what a new setting on a ring can look like or how stones on a seldom-used necklace can be turned into fashionable stud earrings. If you have a good amount of mismatched gold jewellery lying around, you may be able to sell it or have it melted down and turned into a beautiful new creation.

• Create your own greeting card. It can be challenging to find cards that offer just the right sentiments. Sometimes cards seem distant, too risqué or overly sentimental.

Instead, create your own card. Find a decorative blank card or make one from card stock. Search through your digital photos and print one of the two of you together.

Glue on a paper heart border, and then jot down some affectionate sentiments.

I don’t need a date on the calendar I don’t need a frilly red heart I don’t need a box of Purdy’s chocolates or Cupid with his bow and his dart.

I know when I waken each morning He’s ready and willing to share my day He gives help, support, and encouragement In his quiet and considerate way.

• Cleverly wrap favorite chocolate. Chocolate is synonymous with Valentine’s Day, and it’s easy to spend a lot on gourmet chocolates without even knowing if your valentine will like what’s inside the box. Stick to what you know he or she likes, even if it’s a simple chocolate bar from a convenience store. Buy a few and then wrap them in a fancy box with ribbon.

We share laughter in times that are happy We share comfort in times that are sad He’s my constant on life’s uncertain journey The best friend that I’ve ever had.

• Purchase roses. Bouquets of roses are traditional gifts for Valentine’s Day. Buy the roses now to preserve your place in her heart and also buy a rosebush and plan to put it in the garden come spring when all danger of frost is gone. She’ll love you even more and enjoy your gift all year long!

• Go out for a small bite to eat. If you’re concerned about the cost of an expensive dinner out or anticipate being restricted to a certain menu, plan to dine at home. You can opt to go out for cocktails prior or head to a café for dessert and cappuccino afterward. This way you’ll still get the experience of going out without being forced to overspend.

Poets have been putting pen to paper for centuries, and many great works evoke the themes of love and romance.

Those will little experience writing their own poetry can always borrow heartfelt words from some of history’s greatest bards.

Robert Browning Browning was already proficient at reading and writing by the age of 5, having studied with his father, a scholar.

At an early age the young Browning became interested in poetry but didn’t write much through his formative years. Only after marrying fellow poet Elizabeth Barrett did Browning begin to write in earnest. “Life in a Love” is one of his romantic musings.

Life in a Love Escape me?

Never— Beloved!

While I am I, and you are you, So long as the world contains us both, Chicken Florentine with butter cream sauce, Me the loving and you the loth, seven grain rice, fresh asparagus and baby carrots While the one eludes, must the other pursue. $ My life is a fault at last, I fear: It seems too much like a fate, indeed!

Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed.

6 oz. Ribeye Steak with jumbo garlic prawns, But what if I fail of my purpose here? loaded baked potato, fresh asparagus and baby carrots It is but to keep the nerves at strain, $ To dry one’s eyes and laugh at a fall, And baffled, get up to begin again,— Both Specials include dessert.

So the chase takes up one’s life, that’s all.

William Shakespeare It should come as no surprise that the man who wrote the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet would also prove himself an accomplished poet. “Sonnet 18” is evidence of Shakespeare’s grasp of the theme of love.

Sonnet 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm’d; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st, Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

John Keats Keats was an English Romantic poet who lost both of his parents at a very young age. As Keats grew older, he was introduced to a circle of literary men, including Percy Bysshe Shelly and William Wordsworth. Keats decided to try his hand at poetry as well and went on to publish many poems now considered among the greatest ever written. Tragically, Keats died from tuberculosis at the age of 25. “Bright Star” is one of his famous romantic works.

Bright Star Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art– Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night And watching, with eternal lids apart, Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite, The moving waters at their priestlike task Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores, Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask Of snow upon the mountains and the moors– No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable, Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast, To feel for ever its soft fall and swell, Awake for ever in a sweet unrest, Still, still to hear her tendertaken breath, And so live ever–or else swoon to death.

Valentine’s Day

Sunday, February 14, 2016 Did you know?

Nothing Says “I LoveYou” like a GREAT SMORG from Jade!

Valentine’s Day is a time when men and women express their love and affection for one another, which can be accomplished in a variety of ways. For many celebrants, food and beverages are part of the festivities. According to the USDA and Gallup, in the United States Valentine’s Day is the bubbliest occasion after New Year’s Eve and Thanksgiving. That’s because around $9 million is spent on sparkling wine products. What pairs well with that bubbly? Why chocolate, of course. Fifty-eight million pounds of chocolate candy is purchased during the week of Valentine’s Day, when the National Confectioners Association says 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are sold.

Valentine Quotes from the rich and famous How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.

Victor Hugo Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.

Fundraising record for Shuswap Trails

Photo by Sky Stevens

A sell-out evening and over $40,000 raised seem to suggest the Shuswap is more committed than ever to getting people up on their feet and out on greenway trails. The annual Shuswap Trail Alliance fundraiser last Friday surpassed previous records raising funds for greenway trail projects throughout the Shuswap this coming year.

“Yahoo!” exclaimed Margaret Moores, one of the event coordinators. “The payoff in helping organize the event is watching people genuinely having a great time and feeling the energy in the room. That makes me happy!” And it builds trails, with every dollar spent at the Winery. The evening ended on a high note with the Okanagan Enactus students driving everyone home safely in vehicles sponsored

by Braby’s Motors, Hilltop Toyota, Ian Gray’s GM, and Jacobson Ford.

Over 100 sponsors supported this year’s trail fundraiser, including a notably growing list of platinum donors. “We were humbled by the response,” said Winston Pain, chairperson for the Shuswap Trail Alliance. Waterways Houseboats lead the way with their Genesis 66 Houseboat, and Twin Anchors Houseboats also jumped in with their Cruise Craft II, both creating strong friendly competition for the winning bids. Also up on the platinum sponsor board was P & S Properties, TransRockies Race Series, The Woodshop, Ian F. McTavish, BDO Dunwoody, BC Sound, EZ Rock/Bell Media, Salmon Arm City Council, Barley Station Brew Pub, Pro Air Heating & Cooling, City of Enderby, Canoe Forest Products, Integrity Roofing, Sicamous District Council, Skookum Cycle & Ski, and Salmar Theatres.

“The event’s success comes as a huge endorsement to keep going as we launch into a second decade of Shuswap Trails together,” said Winston, noting that every dollar

event going directly to 2016 trail projects.

The annual celebration featured MC and DJ, Patrick Ryley of EZ Rock fame, live music by the Whiskey Danglers powered by BC Sound, and local flavours prepared

by Blue Canoe Bakery Cafe with help from Wild Flights Farms, Farmcrest Foods Chicken, Happy Days Dairy, Sedo Foods, Askew’s Foods, and sponsorship support from Shuswap Tourism. The Barley Station Brew Pub jumped in as a platinum sponsor featuring their micro-brew ales, and the Salmon Arm Firehall did a spectacular job tending bar featuring Larch Hills raised goes directly to support trail projects around the region. “We have an impressive list of priorities from all our regional partners for 2016, and some even bigger things coming,” said Winston, pointing to new trail projects in the East, South, West, and North Shuswap as well as Enderby and Falkland areas.

“And of course there’s the looming rail-trail and the west bay trail projects we hope get activated this year.”

“This is about connecting people and communities with the places we live,” says Shuswap Trail Alliance Executive Director, Phil McIntyre-Paul. “It’s about making our communities resilient and healthy, and fun to live in, which translates into economically viable places to live.” It’s also about redefining those relationships, he says, noting the recently adopted Shuswap Trails Strategy acknowledges our place within Secwepemc First Nations territory. “We are heading into a transformative decade for the Shuswap and for the trails that connect us with this place.”

Devotion with Man’s Best Friend

Ol Dan Smith’s border Collie, Sooner, Dan, pinning him to the ground. Sooner was one heck of a cow dog. Better still, jumped into action. He charged the he used to herd the elk away from the enraged critter nipping and biting, and it farm haystack on Dan’s run down farm, worked. Shaken, but not gored, Dan with a few remaining angus cow calf watched as Sooner had the buck headed pairs. He’d sneak in behind a cow with for yonder hills with barbed wire her head between the rails, nip her heel, wrapped around it’s antlers! then hit the ground. The herd would The great family dog the Labrador; back away and give chase. Wasn’t long before Sooner would have the whole shebang herded, and headed for the bush. Dan had taught Sooner to shift gears on his beat up old 86 three-on-the-tree Chevy pick up, as they would drive through their small community on Saturday afternoon. Dan headed for the meat draw at the legion (the gear shift lever is just below the steering wheel on the right side on the steering column).

It was comical to see the dog nesThe story of fisherman Big Jim. Many tled in tight beside Dan, as they drove down the main street ready to put his years ago, we owned a black lab female paw on the shifter column, then put ‘er by the name of Misty. She wouldn’t in the big wheel! While checking fences make a hunting dog as she was too timid one sunny late fall morning, Dan came and gentle. One night Misty was hit by a across a very rare mule buck tangled in car and rushed to the vet in Armstrong barbed wire. It had been there for a cou- who placed pins in her left hip, did other ple days and was very tired. Dan also repairs, and she came home. Misty had a knew the buck could be dangerous and leaking bladder and couldn’t be in the may charge as it was in the rut. Sooner house on very cold nights, but had a was in the truck box sound asleep on cosy warm doghouse. As a DFO patrolsome hay when he heard Dan’s call for man at the time, I did many patrols help. After using wire cutters to try and through the Kingfisher/Paw (north of Mabel lake), on the lookout for illegal release the deer, it turned and came at T:4.31”

cedar shake block makers, poachers, fishing licenses of anglers at Kidney/ Liver lakes (kilometre 33). At Wap lake, I first bumped into and checked out Big Jim. Jim fished from shore using a bell weight and roe bag trying for small lakers. Well inebriated, with a bottle of vodka by his side. Next time CO Les Molnar and I checked Jim was on the Eagle river, trying for spawning kokanee. This infraction warranted a seizure of gear, fish, and a court appearance. Les knew of his drinking problem, phoned a friend to come take him home to Armstrong. Jim was very lonely and needed a fishin’ buddy. Misty was just the right fit.

She loved car rides so off to Armstrong we went to Jim’s historic old place, on the highway just south of town, now surrounded by a new subdivision. Arriving at Jim’s, he was passed out at the kitchen table, a bottle of vodka close by, and the metal kettle on the stove, dried out and welded to the grill! Soon, Misty and Jim were inseparable, and Jim somehow had a friend or neighbour to drop him off at a fishing spot, and the outdoors. One rainy, cold night, Jim in his usual state, fell down a small steep ravine into the irrigation pond. It was then Misty sprung into action; by jumping in and swimming over so Jim could grab her collar.

She swam him to shore and was rescued by a neighbour. Big Jim fished the Eagle

by Hank Shelley river, his favourite, a few times after that, with CO Molnar, and Canadian wildlife migratory birdman RCMP officer John Ollinger, stationed in Sicamous, making sure our favourite fisherman Big Jim, and Misty didn’t fall in and drown, and always got back home safe!

Fishing report. It’s the first time in recorded history that White lake has not frozen over in winter months. Other local lakes are also showing the effect of climate change with softening ice, and milder than normal temperatures. Fortunately we do have an above normal snowpack, but with extensive clearcut logging, will the run-off retain enough snowmelt to get us through a dryer hotter summer to come?.

Gardom, Phillips, and others, use caution if attempting to ice fish! Recently, there has been more concern raised by Gov’t, media, and concerned citizens about the effect that a Zebra Muzzel infestation into our lakes could have for all residents, boating, fishing, and infastrucure damage. Alberta has taken the lead with dogs being trained to sniff out these minute amoeba on boat engines, hulls, etc. Also border inspections; BC is now also spending about $600,000 for education and folks hired to check boats at major launch sites. It’s a dramatically changing world we live in and we all must be more aware to protect what we have as Canadians!

Three Drapes in One

STORY

NO. 6

This Newspaper.

This toque. It helped Bethany find a better life. Buy yours at RaisingtheRoof.org or donate $5 by texting TOQUE to 45678. Help the homeless in your community.

T:6”

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.

A friend is posting an online countdown to spring with accompanying pictures of flowers, or fields of green, or sunshine. It’s just about the most inspiring thing I’ve seen online yet. I get a warm fuzzy feeling every morning when I anticipate standing in the sun actually looking at all that green. I can’t wait. I know I should have lived in the tropics.

Just exactly what does this have to do with design dilemmas? Well, the other day I was talking to a gal about having summer and winter drapes. Like in the olden days. She thought it was a good idea.

But the reality is, most of us don’t have the luxury of two sets of drapes. We don’t have the downstairs maids to take drapes down, clean them, fold them correctly, store them, and deinstall/install again in six months.

I like the idea of heavy drapes in winter; it makes the room warmer.

Actually warmer, and implied warmer. They cocoon the room. I like the idea of lighter drapes in the summer; they billow slightly in the breeze and filter the light just enough. And there is the privacy issue.

So, I have a solution. My living room balcony doors are pitiful, the condo is older and the doors need to be replaced. I’ll get there, but now the doors are just like two big holes in the wall and I need heavy drapes to keep heat in. So I have drapes with flannel lining, which allows light to filter through but also provides good heat-loss protection. And I have an insulating layer that attaches to the back of these drapes which doubles the insulation value of the whole treatment. On a separate rod I have a semi-sheer drape that hangs between the drapes and the window.

In the spring I remove the insulating layer. The drapes still stay closed mostly, but the light transfers through and the room feels lighter. In the summer I move the drapes off the windows so they hang like side panels, and leave the semi-sheers closed most of the time. They provide privacy but allow the light (and not the heat) to filter through.

This might be a solution for you.

Next week I’m off to Vancouver for an intensive colour course with the True Colour Expert, Maria Killam. I’m just excited as heck; I’ve wanted to do this for a long time and I’m looking forward to sharing my new knowledge with you.

SUDOKU

Pisces, take some time off if your job seems like a headache this week. If you have the time, enjoy a long weekend or a short jaunt during the week.

ARIES

Aries, if you assumed you were right on track, you soon will see why it isn’t safe to assume. Do not take anything for granted and consider all potential outcomes.

TAURUS

Interpersonal dynamics are constantly changing, and you may have a challenging time wrangling in your relationship to where it feels comfortable, Taurus.

GEMINI

Gemini, even if you are uncertain about someone’s intentions, it is best to give that person the benefit of the doubt. However, an ounce of skepticism never hurt anyone.

CANCER

Cancer, it is better to make your choices sooner rather than later this week. Putting decisions off only complicates matters. It may be an anxious time, but you will pull through.

LEO

Stop worrying about how others see you, Leo. This week own up to your beliefs, even if they seem to go against the norm. You may be surprised at the support you receive.

VIRGO

Virgo, a hectic week leads to lots of demands on your time. Take things one task at a time and do not be afraid to say “no” if you feel you are overwhelmed.

Herb Young With deep sadness we announce the sudden passing of our husband, father, grandfather, and so much more, Herbert (Herb) Young.

Herb was born in Grandview, Manitoba in 1946 and lived there until the spring of 1959 when they sold their farm, machinery, and animals, climbed on a train and moved to British Columbia. Herb’s family took up residence at the Falkland Ranch where Herb’s dad was to work. Graduating from Salmon Arm Secondary in 1964, Herb took a job at the Federated Co-op in Salmon Arm and then continued on at the Ministry of Highways where he worked from 1969 to 2002, retiring after 33 years. He then continued an active retired life, remaining in Salmon Arm. He is survived by his wife, Anne-Marie (Mennie); his sons, Brad (Corinne Christie) of Salmon Arm, Mike (Nicole Grimm) of Calgary; his daughter Jennifer (Mike) also of Calgary. As well, he is survived by his siblings, Loretta Young (John Franks), Brian Young (Ingrid), Joan Young (Ron Norman), and Glennis Vetter (Phil); and by his 5 grandchildren, Kimberly, Hailey, Tyler, Micaela, and Zack.

Herb was known for his quiet, observant nature, his witty remarks, and his kind heart. He was a dedicated family man who was always on the positive side of life and savoured all of the little things. He was known to love a great cup of coffee and a piece of pie, and being surrounded by his family. Though his health started narrowing his ability to do some of the things he loved, he faced it with strength and made the most of everyday.

The family asks that any donations or support be sent to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation. Online condolences can be sent to www.bowersfuneralservice. com. There was a Celebration of Life for Herb held on Saturday, February 6th held by Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium in Salmon Arm.

Franciska, Stipdonk 1930 – 2016 “IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL” We announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother, and great grandmother Franciska Stipdonk on January 23, 2016.

“Francis” was born April 18th, 1930 in Amsterdam, NL and moved to Canada in 1972.

She loved nature with all the flowers and animals spending many a day basking in its beauty.

Francis was a strong woman who did whatever she set her mind to and ventured wherever her heart led.

Having coffee with her “girls” and playing games with friends and family were her joys that kept her busy and loving life.

We will smile when we think of her strong will, fun banter, changing the rules of the game, sneaking to Tim Horton’s, and expecting you on time.

She leaves behind to watch over her, son Evert (Marion), daughter Gerda, grandchildren Melanie (Clayton), Robert (Katelyn), Jennifer (Derek) and 4 beautiful great grandchildren.

We would like to thank all our families and friends for their help and support and also Francis’ friends who have been so supportive!

“You were given life because you were strong enough to live it!

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm, 250 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories of Francis through her obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

Food Bank fundraising

You have seen him...zipping around Salmon Arm streets on his motorized scooter; Willie Joswig, aka Speedy Gonzales. Willie, as he prefers to be called, is 87 years old. Currently, he has a plan to raise as much money as he can for the Salvation Army Food Bank. I was talking to Dave, over at the Food Bank and asked him why the shelves were always so bare? He told me that they are really scraping to get enough food to supply the demand. So Willie is putting a sign on his scooter and is having 1,000 flyers printed and distributed to get the message out.

When asked why he is doing this, he replies, “It is the right thing to do. I have been through hard times in my life and just want to help out people who are in need.” He did indeed face difficult times.

Willie was born in 1928 and was brought up on a small farm outside of Johannisberg, Prussia, along with 11 brothers and sisters. He started school at 7 years old; he had to feed cows and then walk 3 miles to the school house. As the Germans continued their onslaught, Willie’s family was concerned that they would end up in a work camp. He was sent to live with his uncle who ran a woodworking shop. He lived there for 4 years while learning the woodworking trade.

At 16, he was conscripted into Hitler’s army and sent to the Eastern front. With the fall of the front, Willie was taken by the Russians to a pris-

oner of war camp, where he remained for one year. Out of 2,000 men in the camp, only 147 survived (Willie was one of them). At seventeen and a half, he emerged, weighing only 81 pounds. He says that it was hate and anger that kept him alive. Following the war he took up a trade to be a tailor and went back to school. In the early 1950s he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Textile Engineering and Industrial Management, attended the Institute for Fashion Design Mueller and Son, in Germany. He also studied at the International Fashion Academy Jean Darroux, Paris, France. He became the Technical Supervisor for the Clothing Factory Eduard Wilken in Gelsenkirchen, Germany and later, Plant Production Manager for Marcona Clothing. He was married in 1954. Willie and his wife immigrated to Montreal in 1957. His knowledge of clothing design and manufacture, landed him jobs for Sport Togs Inc. and Utex of Canada, both in Montreal. In 1965 he started a career as an independent consultant and worked as a fashion advisor in a managerial capacity for well-known firms, such as Hudson’s Bay Company, Aero Garment Limited, Holt Renfrew, Surrey Classics, and London Fog. Willie’s wife passed away in 1990. He moved to Salmon Arm 2 years later. He says he will continue his support work for the Food Bank. “It is what keeps me alive!”

Air Cadet Earns Trip to Ottawa!

Local Poster to Hang in the National War Museum. In June 2015, local Air Cadet Flight Corporal (FCpl) Madelyn Stoney’s poster depicting the 75th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Cadet program in Canada was chosen from the local Squadron to advance to the provincial competition. In September 2015, her poster was chosen to represent BC at the National competition in November 2015. The poster winners from each province also attended the Air Cadet Symposium along other selected cadets. A total of forty Air Cadets from across Canada participated in the Symposium to mark the 75th anniversary of the Air Cadet League of Canada.

FCpl Stoney was thrilled that she had a bit of extra time to do some sightseeing even though the days were packed with leadership activities.

Some places she visited were: The Parliament Buildings, The National War Museum, The Supreme Court, The American Embassy, The French Embassy, The Museum of History, and a little shopping at the Rideau Centre.

The Cadet program is one of the largest and oldest Government of Canada youth programs.

There are currently 50,000 to 55,000 youth from 12 to 18 across Canada involved in Cadets. The local Air Cadet Squadron meets on Wednesdays from 6:15 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the

Downtown Activity Centre (451 Shuswap St. SW) from September to mid-June. All youth from 12 to 18 are welcome to join. For more information contact (250) 833-0222 or email info@222air.com.
