Critical Illness Insurance

COURTESY OF MUSHALUK FINANCIAL

by Jeffrey Mushaluk

Do you know what the leading cause of death is in Canada? If you guessed cancer, you are correct. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, cancer is responsible for 30% of all deaths in the country. Most, if not everyone, reading this column knows of someone that has developed a critical illness, and that critical illness was more than likely cancer. Treatments have come a long way however, and a leading Canadian insurance company recently issued this statement “two out of five people are expected to develop cancer and 63 per cent will have a survival rate from diagnosis of five years or more.”

Being diagnosed with a critical illness is devastating for everyone emotionally attached to that person, not just the immediate family. More often than not, it disrupts not only the victim’s life, but also those around them as they have to

alter their schedules to help a loved one in need. This type of incident can cause financial hardship through loss of income, trips to the hospital, hotel stays, medication, and other unexpected costs.

Aside from a savings account, critical illness insurance is a viable option as it pays out a lump sum tax-free benefit if you meet the definitions on the predetermined list covered on your policy. In order to qualify for the CI benefit, one must live at least 30-days from diagnosis. Most CI policies cover 25 to 29 predetermined conditions, but the main three comprising of almost 89% of claims are cancer, heart attack, and stroke. In order to obtain CI coverage one must go through medical underwriting, which includes not only your health but your family genetics. CI insurance is sophisticated in that premiums (cost) are tied to your personal and family

health history. To get an idea of cost, one major unnamed carrier show a 32-year old woman paying $35/month for a 1-year $50,000 CI policy with an option (rider) to return all premiums paid at age 65 if she doesn’t get a critical illness. At age 42 the premiums rise to $78 a month and at age 53 the price jumps to $176/month. Any amount of coverage would be helpful if you became critically ill, especially if you factor how much gross income you would need to generate that amount of coverage in after tax savings. It can also be an effective savings or investment tool as a feature offered is to get refunded all of the premiums you paid into the policy if you never made a claim. You essentially can’t lose under this scenario because you either get paid an after-tax lump sum benefit or if you don’t you get refunded every dollar you put into the

policy. My advice is to plan for the unexpected and find a policy that fits your budget.

Constipation

COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

While many people just think of Chiropractors as neck and back Doctors, in reality we help patients with many aspects of their health and wellness. One such area I find that I frequently discuss with patients is bowel health.

A main reason that bowel function discussions occur in my Chiropractic office is that there is a direct correlation between the health of the bowels in relation to the function of the low back. In fact, bowel function is controlled by the nerves coming out of the spine at a number of areas, but mainly from the lower thoracic, upper lumbar region and the very base of the spine around the sacrum and pelvis. From newborns to adults a day doesn’t go by that someone is Subluxated in the low back, and at the same time, are dealing with issues around constipation. Moms who bring their babies in for adjustments can especially attest to this connection as more

often that not, the constipated baby has the “poo-nami” (full diaper) within minutes of being adjusted.

Clear nerve flow to the bowel is the most important aspect to ensure proper function but diet also plays a significant role. Fibrous foods are important to consume because the fiber loosens the bowel and attracts water. A dehydrated bowel will pretty much guarantee nothing will be moving. Finally, Magnesium is a supplement to also try taking for constipation issues. The laxative effect of magnesium appears to come through two different mechanisms. Magnesium relaxes the muscles in the intestines which helps to establish a smoother rhythm. Magnesium also attracts water which acts to soften the stool helping to make it easier to pass.

In my 20 years of practice I have found individuals having troubles with constipation are usually trying a high fiber diet and taking Magnesium when they come in for care. I am also happy to report that in those instances the Chiropractic care really helps to improve function. If you are constipated because you are not doing any of the above issues, start changing your habits today. An unhealthy bowel and nervous system will lead to an unhealthy individual.

Opening Our Eyes

By Nan Dickie I have been facilitating a depression support group (DSG) in Salmon Arm for four years. It is for people who live with clinical depression, bi-polar disorder and/or anxiety. It’s about the best thing that’s happened for many of us.

At a recent meeting check in, I asked participants (who were in various stages of wellness) to respond to the question, “Why do you come to these meetings?” I got an earful, and I’ll share lots of them with you: “I always thought I was the only one who got as depressed as I get. It’s such a relief to be with others who experience what I do.

We all share the same language. I don’t have to explain myself.”

“When I’m depressed, I hardly ever leave my home.

But I make myself go to meetings, and am always glad I went.”

“I live so much in my head at home. I can’t do that at a meeting. I have to listen to

others, and this is good for me.”

“Even if I’m feeling low when I go to a meeting, I always leave it feeling better than when I came; my outlook changes from negative to positive.”

“There’s absolutely no pressure: I can speak if I want to, and I can just listen if that’s all I can manage.”

“Everyone is honest; I don’t have to worry about what I say, because no matter what I say, I am accepted and respected.”

“I always feel heard and valued; everyone listens; they understand what I am going through.”

“I love the sense of belonging, and having so much support. I don’t feel odd or different. I feel I am among friends.”

“Others give me feedback to how they see I’m doing. They may comment if they think I’m going downhill.”

“I like to hear what others are doing to help themselves, and

The DSG: Why they go, and why you don’t

then I try new things myself. I’ve learned so many strategies and tools from others.”

“I’m learning so much more about my disorder. I’m understanding what “healthy” is like for people who are well.”

“When I’m not well, others remind me that I will get better again.”

“I’m inspired by other people’s courage, and it rubs off one me.”

“I like being a positive influence on others in pain; I want to share to help others.”

What depressed person wouldn’t go to a support group meeting with all these benefits?! You may be surprised. Some people who really want and need support from others come up with one or more “Yes, buts”.

These are called excuses. Here are some of them: “Yes, but I can’t just walk into a room of strangers.” I know how much courage it can take a for healthy person to enter a room full of people they

don’t know. It takes much more courage for someone who is depressed. Each person in our support group has taken this big step - you can too.

“Yes, but I’m too depressed to go to a support group.” This is exactly when you need the understanding and empathy of peers the most. You are never too depressed to belong here.

“Yes, but I’m not depressed enough to go to a support group.”

We don’t measure “degree of depression.” If depression is having a negative effect on your personal, work, or social life, you are depressed enough. You are wise to not wait until you are desperate to get the valuable support you can receive now.

“Yes, but what if all I want to do is sit in a corner and listen?” Go for it! There are no rules about where anyone sits - at the table, next to the windows, behind someone else.

You are not obliged to say anything while

you are there.

“Yes, but what if someone I know is there? I’d feel so embarrassed and ashamed.” It would be wonderful to know someone there already!

That participant would probably come up to you and say, “Welcome, you’ve come to a great place.”

It’s called kinship.

“Yes, but how do I know someone won’t blab about me outside the group?” This is a group with integrity; confidentiality is respected, protected, and maintained.

Are you, or someone you know, a “Yes, but…” person? If so, you (or they) may want to read again my rebuttals to your buts.

There is one more consideration about going to a DSG meeting. In attending meetings, we participants are taking responsibility for our own health and healing. We don’t blame our lot on a medical system that may fail us, on society that doesn’t understand us, or on our

brain chemistry that betrays us. We figure things out by sharing what we can do to make life as meaningful as possible. This requires self-honesty, courage, and effort.

It is more than worth it. Trust me.

Next week: Details about our depression support group in Salmon Arm. [Nan Dickie has lived with clinical depression since her teens. DSG meetings

take place the first and third Mondays at Askew’s Uptown conference room at noon (including Mondays of long weekends).

Everyone welcome.

Can you imagine being in a room with twenty-five other like-minded people being guided through a learning experience by the poo-bah of your industry? You get to ask her any question, get one-on-one time with her, make friends with other knowledge-seekers, and have a great time doing it.

That’s what I did last week at the Maria Killam True Colour Expert training. For two and a half days.

If we aren’t learning, we are falling behind, because everyone else is learning and moving forward. Before this course, even though I thought I knew a whack about colour, and truthfully I did, I wanted to know more. I wanted to be absolutely sure I could answer your questions about colour. And not just answer them, but give you the reasons why and be able to explain the choices so you would understand and have

faith.

And that’s what I got. I have a much deeper understanding of how colours relate to each other, how to find just the right colours to make your spaces more cohesive, and how to create more flow through your home. The goal? To make you smile when you look at your colours. And don’t think for a minute, that beige or white aren’t colours.

I’ve been in this business a looonnnggg time, and Maria Killam knows more about colour than anyone I’ve ever come in contact with. She has developed a system of identifying and combining colours that is almost foolproof and that’s what she teaches.

Most of the decisions made about the interior decor of a home are made by women. And I know that women often have to explain, and sometimes justify, these choices to someone

else. After picking colours with you, using Maria’s system, you will understand why these are the best choices for you and will have the confidence and knowledge to explain them to someone else.

Maria warned us that we would be analyzing colours everywhere and that we would probably drive our friends and family a bit nuts with it all.

More knowledge often comes with pitfalls. She was right about the analyzing part, for sure. I’m looking at colour a whole new way now, and the best part is that not only can I tell what is wrong where colour is concerned, I can say why, and know what the fix is. And do it quickly and with total confidence.

So, for you, it means you get the benefit of Maria’s system through me. No one wants to make mistakes with their decor.

That always costs money and

time and creates frustration, we’ve all been there. But now you don’t have to do that with colour in your home.

Thank you Maria.

BC’S FAMILY DAY KEPT FAMILIES AT HOME I drove to Victoria on Monday, Feb. 8, Family Day in this province. The weather was lovely and traffic was at a bare minimum. Our Family Day was on a different weekend than any other province, so there was no interchange of families as there is on other long weekends.

Few people from B.C. drove to the U.S. because our dollar was worth only 72 cents.

WELLNESS TRADE SHOW AT CANADA PLACE The wellness trade show in Vancouver was packed! I had a sample of cheddar hot pepper from Village Cheese in Armstrong along with samples from across Canada at a cheese seminar. Bottles of Truehope EMPower Plus were being exhibited. I told one of the family members that her brother gave a three-hour talk on the capsules in Salmon Arm recently. I sampled an Ambrosia organic apple from the Okanagan and saw 100 per cent Belgian sugar-free chocolates produced by Ross Chocolates on the North Shuswap.

I watched a couple of cooking shows. Signs on each side of the stage said the exhibit was sponsored by Alligga. When I came upon the Alligga booth, I asked what it was. The girl said it was flaxseed cooking oil which is very rich in omega-3. When I asked where it was grown she said Yorkton, the largest flaxseed growers in the world. Oil is shipped everywhere. I said that’s where I trained as a nurse! So I bought two bottles of oil.

HOW TO TAKE TAPE MARKS OFF A CARPET I pulled up a small area carpet from the wall-to-wall carpet and it left some black rubber from the duct tape that held it down. So I went to Samson’s Solutions, located opposite the back entrance to Centenoka. Mom and Pop, Gale-Paule and Ken Davison, held a short conference and decided Houdini is what I needed. It is an industrial degreaser that removes oil, grease, tar, pitch, gum, glue, and black tire marks. A few ounces were poured from a gallon and I was told to dilute it 7-1 and if it didn’t work, use 5-1. The latter worked very well.

ERICKSON’S APPLIANCE HAS 15 FILING CABINETS I needed a small part for a kitchen appliance and went behind Samson Solutions to Erickson’s Appliance Service. Peter Erickson had the part for $10. He has a shop full of parts, many in 15 four- and five-drawer filing cabinets that he rescued from places that were switching to computers. Each drawer is labeled. For example, GE elements. On high top shelves he has fridge drawers of every size. Peter says no one wants to learn how to repair old appliances. New appliances are made not to be repaired, but to be replaced. His kids ask what they should do with all his stuff when he goes. He doesn’t know.

LARGE COLOURFUL PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS Bulk Barn, located west of town at Smart Centres, has 99 cent plastic bags near the door that are the most colourful I’ve seen. The bag has pictures of nuts, candy and raisins, 18 different colours on one side and 15 on the other. You’ve got to see it!

PUB THEOLOGY ONE THURSDAY A MONTH On Thursday, February 18, First United Church continued with Pub Theology that it started in November. The

theology started in England and happens in the U.S. and other parts of Canada as a way of getting people together to talk about church things in a non-church environment.

In Salmon Arm it takes place at Hideaway Pub on the third Thursday of each month from 7 to 9 p.m. You need to be 19 or over.

Because it was close to Valentine’s Day, the Feb. 18 Pub Theology Quiz had a dozen questions about Valentine, such as: Who is Jack Valentine? Who is cupid’s father? In the story of Romeo and Juliet, what was Juliet’s last name? Then the group was given this question to discuss at tables: “All you need is love. Did the Beatles have it right?” I didn’t stay long because it was too noisy for my hearing aids.

SOME IMPORTANT MOMENTS IN HISTORY OF THE CHURCH TOOK PLACE IN THE PUB Luther kick-started the Reformation over a few pints.

The Church of England was started in the White Horse tavern. Hymns like ‘Love Divine, All Loves Excelling’ were inspired by pub music. And seemingly all the best conversations take place in the pub. (From Berghoef, Bryan, 2013-03-25. Pub Theology 101: A guide to cultivating meaningful conversations at the pub.)

“The format is simple: beer, conversation, and God. Everything is up for discussion, no assumptions, no barriers to entry. If you are going to get upset because someone questions something that is important to you, maybe this isn’t for you, but if you think that whatever might be true ought to be able to stand up to being questioned, maybe it is.”

WHAT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT RESOLUTION AN UNDERTAKER RECOMMENDS FOR YOU? Drake Smith, a funeral director in Kamloops, says you might think it’s to save up for a fancy funeral, buy your cemetery plot, or run down to the local funeral home with chequebook in hand and pre-pay your cremation. “Sorry,” he wrote in The Connector from Kamloops, “but I don’t encourage you to do any of those things.” He wants you to prepare a will or ensure that the old one is updated. The lack of a current will causes so much stress on your loved ones after you die.

He wrote in The Connector: “When a death occurs, one of the first questions I must ask the bereaved family is ‘Did your loved one have a will?’ The answer is either yes, no, or I don’t know. Sometimes the answer is Yes, but it’s 40 years old. Or Yes but everything’s in my mother’s name. Or No, but I have power of attorney. Or it doesn’t matter because he gave everything away already.

The best answer is Yes and it’s current!”

REVISE YOUR WILL WITHOUT DELAY! Funeral director Drake Smith of Kamloops wrote that by law, he has to find out who has the authority to sign the forms needed to cremate or bury you. If there is a will, there’s an executor, and the law in BC says that the executor is at the top of the pile in this regard. If there is no executor, the spouse has the authority, followed by the adult child and then the adult grandchild of the deceased.

And on and on. Make an appointment with a lawyer or notary public to write a will. The internet has forms that you can fill and take to the appointment. It saves time

answering some questions while you are there.

A HAND-WRITTEN WILL IS OK WITH UNDERTAKER When I asked Drake Smith for permission to use part of his column, he wrote back and asked me to add this: “Please encourage people to at least consider a self-written will (i.e. no lawyer or notary) if they can’t afford a professional. From an undertaker’s perspective I’d rather have the family produce a poorly written will (as long as it’s legal) than no will at all, simply because it names an executor. Without an executor, I’ve seen so many stressed out survivors trying to deal with the funeral/cremation matters. They often fight over ‘who’s in charge!’ That’s what I’m trying to avoid in my column. Although a well written will, produced by a qualified lawyer or notary, will likely spare family feuds over the TV set, that goofy tie, or whatever they decide to focus upon, that’s not my business as a funeral director! I’m looking for the person who is legally in charge, as well as any mention of cremation or burial wishes expressed in the will.”

SHUSWAP SEED SWAP ON MARCH 5 The popular Shuswap Seed Swap, which is more like a trade show, will be held in the new Splatsin Community Centre in south Enderby. It will be on Saturday, March 5th starting at 10 a.m. There will be a free seed swap table, sustainable living information, heritage seeds, baked goods, special presentations, food court and more.

Admission is $2.00.

MANY ARTICLES IN THE LANCET ARE FALSE A shocking admission by the editor of the world’s most respected medical journal, The Lancet, has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media. Dr. Richard Horton, Editor-in-chief of the Lancet recently published a statement declaring that a shocking amount of published research is unreliable at best, if not completely false, as in fraudulent. When media refused to report it, nsnbc international, a blog edited by Christof Lehmann in Denmark, placed it online.

Dr. Horton, former editor of the Lancet, is quoted at http://nsnbc.me/2015/06/19/shocking-report-from-medical-insiders/ saying, “Major pharmaceutical companies falsify or manipulate tests on the health, safety, and effectiveness of their various drugs by taking samples too small to be statistically meaningful or hiring test labs or scientists where the lab or scientist has blatant conflicts of interest such as pleasing the drug company to get further grants. At least half of all such tests are worthless or worse.” From Health Action Network Society, Burnaby.

Leap Year 101

by Daron Mayes Another four years has gone by which means we are again in a “leap year”.

For an investment advisor like me, February 29th is an exciting day because it represents the end of RSP season. As mentioned in my article a couple weeks ago, a lot of people think you can contribute to an RSP until March 1st.

However, tax law only allows RSPs to be contributed within the first 60 days of the calendar year. Therefore, when it is a leap year the final day becomes February 29th. Don’t be late!

This year, the Junior Bean Counter asked the question, “What exactly is a leap year and has there always been leap years?” Well, as we’ve done for years we like to educate the masses so here are some fund facts about leap year.

Julius Caesar instituted the concept of a leap year in 45 BC. At that time there was actually 29 regular days in February and a 30th day was added for leap year.

The end of February was also the last day of the calendar year.

In 4 AD, Caesar Augustus named the month of August (previously named “Sextillis” or six) after himself and then stole February 30th to make August have 31 days. He did this to make his month have the same amount of days as Julius Caesar’s month of July.

It was later discovered that the solar year was actually 365.242216 days. As a result, by the 16th century the spring equinox was falling around March 11th instead of March 21st. So in 1582 Pope Gregory XIII adjusted the calendar by

moving the date ahead 11 days and instituting the “exception rule” for leap years. He also changed the calendar year end date to December 31. The exception rule is that a century year cannot be a leap year unless divisible by 400. So 2000 was a leap year, but not 1700, 1800 and 1900. The next century leap year isn’t until 2400.

People born on a leap day are called “leaplings” or “leapers”.

In Greece, it is bad luck to get married in a leap year. Somehow I think getting married in a leap year is the least of their problems right now!

So there you have it. Happy Birthday to all the “leaplings” or “leapers” out there and good luck finding a spouse if you are a Greek!

Beware Revenue Canada scams

It is that time of the year again. There is always an increase in these types of scams at tax time. Staff Seargent West of the Salmon Arm RCMP would like people to be aware of these scams or hoaxes.

Revenue Canada will contact you by letter, not by telephone or email. The most recent scam reported to the Lakeshore News by a reader, is the caller saying you are under Federal Investigation for unethical and/ or suspicious activity and you must return the call right away.

Reprint from October 2015: If you haven’t heard about the telephone scam where the caller claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) but is not, please read on and spread the word to family and friends. This scam is becoming a growing concern for the RCMP in British Columbia as they are receiving numerous complaints daily and the numbers keep growing.

Knowing exactly what to do should it happen to you is very important to prevent identity

and financial theft.

Some recent telephone scams involve threatening taxpayers or using aggressive and forceful language to scare them into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. Victims receive a phone call from a person claiming to work for the CRA and saying that taxes are owed. The caller requests immediate payment by credit card or convinces the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card (the CRA never requests prepaid credit cards) and to call back immediately with the information. The taxpayer is often threatened with court charges, jail or deportation.

This scam has been successful because the caller is very aggressive, and if hung up on, will continually call back. Due to the advancement in computer technology/hacking, the calls are sometimes being routed through systems that can display any phone number the scammer chooses, which in recent cases, has been the local RCMP Detachment phone number, from the area where the call is received.

CRA - If you want to confirm that a CRA representative has contacted you, call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281 for individual concerns or 1-800-959-5525 for business-related calls.

Police - If the caller identifies themselves as a police officer, obtain their name and badge number and tell the caller you will phone them back through the non-emergency number of the police agency where you live. Make sure you obtain this number through verified channels, such as the White Pages of your phone book or a police agency website.

Individuals should be vigilant when they receive, either by telephone, mail, text message or email, a fraudulent communication that claims to be from the CRA and is requesting personal information. To find out more information about how you can protect yourself from fraud and to hear an example of a real scam telephone call, visit; www.cra-arc. gc.ca/fraudprevention.

If you suspect that you have been contacted by a scammer,

note the phone number showing on call display and contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, toll free at 1-888-495-8501 or online at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.

Living life with no regrets

When Herb Moore was 12 years old all he wanted was to become a fighter pilot.

Born in downtown Toronto in 1927, Herb grew up during the Depression and World War II and this shaped the man he would become. But more directly, his father’s example of hard work, entrepreneurship, and survival, influenced him.

“My father was a self-made man and he always managed to get by and we always had food on the table. Not all my friends did.”

Herb’s father was born in the 1890s in eastern Europe in a Jewish ghetto.

“He didn’t want to talk about it. There was a lot of anti-Semitism there, killings and beatings.”

But this wasn’t the only trouble Herb’s father had to live with. He wanted to play the violin and when he earned enough money he bought one.

“My father’s father wanted him to be a rabbi and he smashed the violin over his head. Boy - did that affect my father.”

Herb’s father left home when he was 13, he wandered around Europe and spent time in Germany before emigrating to Canada. He started an embroidery business and did very well thanks to his artistic talent.

At one point his dad took the family down the States to see if there might be more business opportunity down there.

“It was quite a trip for me, I was only eight years old and my sister a little older.

A lot of the highways weren’t paved. I remember driving down in Texas or somewhere down there and there was a cowboy on a white horse. I yelled out the window, ‘Cowboy, cowboy,’ and I was waving. He got his horse to rear up. That vision never left me,” he says smiling. Not finding any other business opportunities, they came back to Canada.

“When the war started and stories about the Holocaust started to come out my dad wouldn’t believe it. He said it was really good in Germany and it was the first time he had been treated as a human being. He was so disappointed in Germany.”

Herb was keen to join the war effort and he was insistent on becoming a pilot. But his father wouldn’t let him sign up underage and by the time he was old enough the war was over. Herb breezed through school but before he graduated he basically lost interest and he quit. “My dad didn’t think he should give me a swift kick. He

children. Business was good but he worked hard. Then he learned a tough life lesson that made him change his philosophy.

“I had a friend (Lou) I met when I was 15. He was older than me but we had really hit it off. He influenced me very much.

He was going to university to become a

Herb & Pat Moore - photo contributed was a self-educated man, he was always reading good books and he thought if he could do it, I could do it. I started taking night lessons at art college.”

During the days he would hang around his father’s embroidery shop. As fate would have it, he was there when a man walked in to ask if they could make crests for jackets.

“Dad said, ‘I’ve got the machine but I’m not interested.’ I said, ‘I’ll take a crack at it,’ and that’s how it started.’”

Herb not only got the order but he made various others and took them around to sporting goods stores. Soon he was taking over his father’s business. He started with the same six employees and he ended up with 35 and the machines were working 24 hours a day. He was even making crests for the Toronto Maple Leafs. By this time he was married to Pat and had

chemist and he wanted to become a millionaire within 10 years. When he graduated he started his own drug company and really started making money.”

Herb has funny stories about the good times they had. Lou made much more than a million, then his wife got terminal cancer. She was in the hospital and Lou died of a stroke. To Herb it was like losing a big brother but it made him realize that making money didn’t mean as much as enjoying time with the people you love.

“I said to Pat, I’m making good money but I couldn’t make money like Lou. I’m going to take it easy.’ We started going to Florida for two to three months. We had a good life and I have no regrets.”

Pat was the love of his life. He remembers the first time he saw her.

“It was Lou who introduced us. He said, ‘She is just perfect for you, you’ve just

got to meet her.’ When I walked in it was a hot day in the summer of ’49. I looked at her and she looked at me and it was ‘boom!’ love at first sight - like in Hollywood. She was just a fun gal to be with. She was exciting and the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. We enjoyed each other’s company. She was my best friend, my best companion. We never had a fight...”

Then he corrects himself, they did have one but now he can’t even remember who had which side.

They travelled and had many fun adventures from the Caribbean to the Sahara desert. He designed and built her a dream house. Pat died on her birthday, January 12 in 2007.

“I was holding her when she died.

The doctor and nurse were crying. The nurse put her arms around me and just hugged me.”

After that, Herb thought to simply live in his sailboat and spent a few months sailing around Chesapeake Bay, but he decided to sell the boat and eventually ended up in Salmon Arm to live near one of his daughters. He lives in Andover Terrace and spends much of his free time building radio control model airplanes. He has an impressive classical CD collection and some of the beautiful paintings on the wall are his own work. He is dealing with cancer now but he is hopeful he can overcome it like he has so many other obstacles.

Looking back over his life he says he really has had a good time, perhaps because he followed his own advice.

“Correct your mistakes, never leave them hanging. If you can’t find a good solution, choose the best you can and move on. I have no regrets with the fact I didn’t make more money. Money doesn’t make you happy. There are a lot of people with money and they aren’t any happier.

Do something that you like to do. If you do, then it’s not a job, it’s fun. Everyone gets an opportunity, so recognize an opportunity and never pass it up. Grab the brass ring on the merry-go-round or you may miss a free ride. Go where your heart takes you. Life goes by very fast, you can fill it up with disappointments or with happiness, it’s up to you.”

Letters to the Editor

Eastern & Central Canada Sells Out The West During the previous decade thousands of those from central Canada and the east coast travelled to western Canada to find employment. In the Oil Sands deposit near Fort McMurray, Alberta, over 20,000 easterners moved west to find employment and earn large salaries.

Then came the federal election of October 2015 and the first provinces from Canada to declare a new government under Justin Trudeau and the Liberals, were the Maritimes, Ontario and Quebec. Those that prospered from being in western Canada betrayed their benefactors and voted the Trudeau Liberals into power.

The Conservatives promoted western Canada, the oil sands and the oil patch. When western Canada needed

help to defeat the Liberals, who were the first provinces to bail out?

Trudeau has promised change by insisting Canada will grow on an economy based on deficit spending and borrowed money. He has stated that during his 4 year term, 3 of those years will be based on him taking Canada further and further into debt. Canada cannot recover from the debt we already have.

The Liberals under Trudeau will spend billions upon billions of dollars to create his false economy, all of which will be based on deficit spending. Trudeau promises the immigration of more people from foreign lands and he supports the legalization of marijuana, while Canada’s homeless are left in the streets; Trudeau

tells us these are the things that will improve Canada?

The west has natural resources, intelligent people and the desire to prosper and create a better Canada.

If you detect anger in this letter, it is because most western Canadians are sick of the whining that comes from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes whenever the west succeeds.

Regulations coming for pet breeders

By Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government is adopting new regulations to require dog and cat breeders to meet national standards for their care.

Regulations are expected to take effect in 2017, based on the C a n a d i a n Veterinary Medical Association’s code of practice, along with a breeder licensing or registration system.

They will require daily cleaning of

B.C. SPCA One of the neglected dogs seized from a Langley dog breeder Feb. 4.

Letters to the Editor I have been keeping track of the Senior Advocates reports which are an excellent example of extensive research that outlines all aspects of the care that our seniors are receiving in this province. Then I read her news release, which gains much more attention than the actual report does. She has highlighted the rising problem of “Resident on Resident Aggression” in care facilities, and stated that she would be looking for “systemic issues” that contribute to this problem. I am disappointed by this statement because the solution to this problem is contained within the information in her report, which she failed to mention in her news release.

And that information is, that licensing violations have increased by 21% since 2014. And that the largest majority of those violations, at 44%, are in the category of “Care and Supervision” and 19.8% in the category of “Staffing”. And in Assisted Living, the largest percentage of complaints are in the category of “Resident abuse, neglect, and self abuse”.

Eureka! I have discovered the obvious solution to improving the quality of care for our seniors, that oddly

enough, the entire Health Ministry has failed to notice or acknowledge. And those are; an increase in staff levels, mandatory evaluations for the “appropriate type” of employees, and

pens, minimum space for each animal depending on its size, and veterinary care for dogs and cats that are sick, injured, or in pain.

A registration system would allow animal inspectors to inspect premises, rather than wait for public complaints about poor conditions that currently result in about 200 investigations per year.

Craig Daniell, CEO of the B.C.

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said the recent seizure of 66 neglected dogs from a Langley breeder has outraged B.C. residents.

“These events have really reinforced the public’s desire for the licensing and inspection of dog and cat breeders, to prevent the kind of suffering we have witnessed in the last few weeks,” Daniell said.

The Omega confusion

foodsalive COURTESY OF OKANAGAN RAWSOME

by Afke Zonderland Most of us have a vague idea about good fats and bad fats. We also know that we should throw out the margarine and go back to butter. We also have a sense that deep-fried food does harm, while fresh greens and fruit are healing. Evidence that grass-fed beef provides us with better quality fats than grain finished animals is also getting our attention. But how on earth is the average consumer able to go shopping with words like eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ringing in their ears? I have listened to a few hours of internet teleconferences on fat, and I think that I understand the basics well enough to put these big words into food choices that are helpful.

I am old enough to be a victim of a daily dose of cod liver oil before we left the house to bike to school in the cold, wet, hail, sleet and windy Dutch winters….. I know I won’t get much climate sympathy

from kids growing up on the Canadian prairies, but I am guessing that there was a bottle of cod liver oil in their pantry too.

My mother added ½ teaspoon of brown sugar to each tablespoon for the six of us, just to make the medicine go down! Fish and krill oil delivers the valuable Omega 3 oil that is so protective of our heart and brain function. Flaxseed is the plant-based champion on Omega 3 oils (as long as you grind them), while chia and hemp give us a good dose of the same plus extra fibre and protein. The importance of plenty of Omega 3 fatty acid for brain development of our little ones cannot be understated.

Replace grains and sugar in an ADHD child’s diet with krill, fish oil or flax oil for two weeks and simply observe the difference. Trying to convince your toddler or 8-year-old to have sardines for lunch might be a bit of a stretch. Although, I must say that many kids are much more

open to trying different foods than we upsets the balance. The ratio between the give them credit for.

Four consecutive balanced budgets. No wonder our province is the envy of Canada.

By promoting and guiding economic growth in our province, we are able to invest $1.6 billion over the next three years into new and increased spending.

Our balanced budget, low debt-to-GDP ratio and triple-A credit rating mean we can borrow at the lowest interest rates in the country. By comparison, if B.C. was saddled with Ontario’s weaker credit rating, we would be spending an extra $2.4 billion a year to service our debt, instead going into important programs and services for British Columbians.

Some of the significant investments highlighted in Budget 2016 include new and increased services to help families and individuals with their cost of living, as well as measures to bolster and protect rural communities across the province.

Residents of the Shuswap will benefit from several initiatives aimed at rural B.C. We are protecting communities and citizens by setting aside $85 million to establish a new organization — the Forest Enhancement Society of B.C. — that will work toward wildfire prevention and mitigation through forest fuel management, reforestation and habitat restoration.

There is $10 million for the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative for Community Wildfire Protection Plans, fire-smart planning activities and fuel management projects.

There will be enhanced property tax relief for those who provide tourist accommodation in our riding.

Agriculture is an important economic driver in the Shuswap. There is a new Farmers’ Food

Donation Tax Credit that is worth 25 per cent of qualifying agricultural products donated to a registered charity providing food to those in need, or help a school meal plan.

And the new three-year, $75-million Rural Dividend program takes effect this year to help rural communities reinvigorate and diversify their economies. This is a great opportunity for the people of each community in the Shuswap to work together to make your economic development goals a reality.

Budget 2016 announced changes to MSP and premium assistance effective Jan. 1, 2017 which will help lower-income families, individuals and seniors with the cost of living. The B.C. government is investing an additional $70 million annually to enhance premium assistance. About 335,000 people will see their premiums reduced, and an additional 45,000 people will no longer pay premiums at all in 2017.

As a result of enhancing premium assistance in 2017, a single senior earning up to $45,000 may qualify for reduced premiums. A senior couple earning up to $51,000 may qualify for reduced premiums. This translates into a savings of up to $480 per year for a senior couple and $324 per year for a single senior.

With this budget, we are able to provide more services and help ease the cost of living for people in the Shuswap.

I’ll have much more to say about Budget 2016 when I speak at Chamber of Commerce luncheons in Salmon Arm and Armstrong on March 11 and April 1, respectively. Please contact the Chambers for further details and I hope to see you there.

Salmon Arm GM fundraiser

By Wade Stewart On Sat., Feb., 20, Ian Gray’s Salmon Arm GM raised over $3500 towards the fundraising efforts for Kaden Sagh’s battle with cancer. All of the money customers spent on oil changes in the Quick Lube, combined with the BBQ out front went into the total, plus Dallas Stewart, Evan Hughes, and Curtis Bannister

of the Salmon Arm Silvertips washed cars by donation. Castrol Oil contributed the oil for the event, and Quick Lube staff donated their wages for the day. All of the staff would like to thank our customers for helping to make the event a huge success, and wish the Sagh family health and happiness and most of all, a speedy recovery for Kaden.

Friendship

Two weeks ago I was asked the most profound question of my life.

My friend Brody, age 7, who had asked Mayor Nancy Cooper for a Friendship Day in 2014, asked me to come to his school and explain what I do at the MacQuarrie Institute. This was their “very important person” week.

Having been friends for more than a year, and with a whole weeks preparation, I hit on the idea of a game called marbles.

Remembering, “everything you need to learn about life you can learn in kindergarten.” Picture me in my 90th year, down on a blanket in a circle with 27 kids, the teacher, a parent, and a bagful of marbles.

I began by asking “what does a friend look like?” Does age, gender, or skin colour matter? Why do you need a friend? Someone to play with? Anyone play marbles?”

First we practiced a little; the kids figuring out their own ways of letting everyone have a turn. Then we considered the rules, cheating being the hottest topic. Do you put them

in jail? There was a resounding, “no!”, further questioning, and they came up with these qualities of friendship: kindness, respect, honesty, trust, friendliness, and humour.

Brody’s mom summed it up saying I was a “bucket filler”, “not just showing what a good friend is, but being one as well.”

The kids thought this was a great profession and I wholeheartedly agree!

I look at our world, and see our global village, full of fear, responding to one another as enemies. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend” We at the MacQuarrie Institute are dedicated to building Canada a 2nd time, being friends with everyone and everything, practicing unconditional love.

Peace, Dan MacQuarrie

Caleb Ramsey placed 2nd, winning $321 and 3rd place went to Jason Schubert, who won $215. Many, who were not so lucky at playing bingo, went home with some great door prizes. Out of the days proceeds, $300 will be donated to the The BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities t h r o u g h Snowarama and another $300 will be donated to the MV Beattie Elementary PAC group in Enderby.

A variety of subjects

by Hank Shelley Many of us have wonderful memories of growing up on a farm. As kids, we had to gather the eggs (got chased by the rooster!), help milk the 8 cows, give the calves their milk with the pail, the rubber teat on the bottom, shovel out the manure from behind each cow into a wheelbarrow, then dump it out behind the barn, onto a steaming pile. In spring we shovelled it into a spreader, pulled by our old Massey/Ferguson tractor to the field.

As the large lime-green machine with the massive tires moved around the field, it’s large spout began to discharge manure slurry, this from a large dairy farm, a short distance away. A great way to add to the soil and enhance a future crop of corn for silage.

But how much is too much? From the ever enlarging dairy operations in the Shuswap/North Okanagan, concern is growing about saturated soils (nitrogen, etc) seeping into groundwater/aquifers.

Steelsprings water district in Armstrong is calling for an investigation on how it is effecting their water supply, and quality.

The province, DFO, and dairy industry have guidelines that must be followed in the spreading of manure. Eg: not in winter over snow, near any water course (Salmon river/Shuswap river/Eagle river) affecting fish/aquatic invertebrates. I did a number of patrols to dairy operations and fields to observe if any infractions had occurred. But the big question is; with the increasing number of cows being milked daily, what to do? It has to be utilized somehow. Fields can only handle so much “Best BC Film” FRACTURED LAND coming to Salmon Arm March 3rd, screening includes LNG discussion with filmmaker Damien Gillis.

Nanaimo, BC (Dec. 11, 2015) -- “Anyone who can throw a hatchet and sue you is a force to be reckoned with.” That’s how renowned climate activist Bill McKibben describes Caleb Behn, the charismatic subject of the Canadian feature documentary Fractured Land, which will be playing in Salmon Arm at 6 PM on Thursday, March 3rd at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

The screening – which will be followed by a panel discussion with the film’s co-director

nutrient, but are we at risk of losing our most precious commodity? Time will tell. Facts: More than 2 million hens are raised for egg production. Here, their droppings are mixed with soils, aged to reduce nitrogen, then sold as a soil mix. Meat birds: close to 90 million birds are grown in BC. A large number in the N. Okanagan/ Shuswap. Dairy cattle: approximately 100,000 dairy cattle live on dairy farms, with a growing number here in the Shuswap (Grindrod/Mara/Silver Creek/ Hullcar area), 3-400 head per operation.

There are roughly 500,000 head of beef cattle raised on farms and ranches in BC. Many of these cattle are in the Grindrod/ Vernon/ /Coldstream/Lumby areas. Manure is always an issue once again. Patrols to Lumby in past years, showed cattle adjacent to Bessette creek near town, produced heavy manure presence, and then have spring run-off, creating nutrient loading/ weed growth. Harris/Dutteou creek also had issues. Into the wild: Wild bighorn sheep are increasingly threatened by pathogens carried by domestic animals. A study is underway to try and keep domestic sheep away from the wild herds to prevent die offs, similar to what happened to the Chasm herd, north of Clinton. This herd has declined from 110 to just 28, since the fall of 2013. Domestic sheep, bred over many generations in large flocks, have built up an immunity to the pneumonia/pathogen, but wild female sheep who survive, can pass it on to their babies. In northern BC, Dall/Stone sheep are also at risk, because

Damien Gillis, focusing on LNG, fracking, and BC’s energy economy – is co-hosted

by Shuswap Environmental Action Society. The tour comes on the heels of the film’s award-winning run at the Vancouver International Film Festival, where it claimed Best BC Film and the VIFF Impact Canadian Audience Award. Fractured Land also received multiple five-star reviews and was named a Top Ten Audience Favourite at the world-renowned Hot Docs International Film Festival in Toronto.

With some of the world’s largest fracking operations on his territory, Caleb Behn, a

young Indigenous lawyer from northeast BC, confronts the fractures within his community, his family, and himself as he struggles to reconcile traditional teachings with the law to protect the land.

The coming-of-age story, produced and directed by first-time feature filmmakers Damien Gillis and Fiona Rayher - in association with CBC’s documentary Channel and Knowledge Network - follows Behn as he grapples with the impact of hydraulic fracturing (or “fracking”) on his territory.

Caleb’s mother is a high-ranking oil and gas officer trying to make change from the inside; his father a residential school survivor and staunch environmentalist. Intelligent, articulate and speaking with conviction, Caleb has learned how to straddle these two different worlds, whether hunting beaver, throwing hatchets or studying legal briefs.

“The B.C. government is staking the province’s future on LNG, which is dependent upon the environmentally destructive practice of fracking that damages underground aquifers, causes earthquakes and leaks large amounts of climate destroying methane into the atmosphere. SEAS is bringing this award winning documentary to Salmon Arm to help raise local awareness of the issue and the growing opposition to fracking and the proposed LNG industry, said

there are fewer barriers if ranchers decide on bringing in domestic sheep. Wild sheep contact the pathogen from nose contact or airborne transmission. Domestic sheep were the cause of a major die-off of 65% of the bighorn population in the south Okanagan in 1999-2000. It’s a quickly changing world we live in, which has now entered our Shuswap! Fish: As our ocean warms due to climate change, more southern species have also moved north. Mackerel/sardine/humbolt squid/basking shark, and other exotics, are showing up. A recent UBC study, using the latest technology showed our salmon/halibut/ cod/herring, are progressing to the poles, and cold water.

Here and There in the Shuswap I recently subscribed to the “The Senior Paper’, published out of Regina, Sask, and glad I did! The paper has great stories of small town/farm/ranch life, told by individuals, back in a time when life had good times and hard times, with a few good laughs in between. One story was about the local farmers being aware of “Purple Pete”, the RCMP officer who checked vehicles for the use of purple gas, of course. Gas was for farm use only in the tractor or combine, etc. Halfway to town Ol John sees Purple Pete stopping vehicles. Pete used a long siphon/bulb into the gas tank and also checked the carburetor. John pulled into a friend’s yard, got a ride to town, then jumped in his old flivver (corn binder pickup (International), and got home.

Bill Helmsing of Vemon was our Chevron bulk driver.

He’d toss a couple packets of dye on top of the gas drums after filling them! Remember, don’t sweat the little things, life’s too short. Get out and enjoy!

“Best BC Film” FRACTURED LAND Jim Cooperman, SEAS president.

“Through Caleb’s intensely personal journey, we delve deep into important topics like fracking, resource politics and Canada’s colonial legacy,” notes filmmaker Gillis.

Vancouver-based co-director/ co-producer Rayher adds: “It’s fas-

cinating to watch this compelling and inspiring character blend modern tools of the law with traditional knowledge. He really welcomed us into his world.”

Letters to the Editor

Autism risk with anti-depressants?

Today I opened up my copy of the Lakeshore News and browsed through Sally Scales’ Sidewalk Superintendent. I normally take what she writes with a grain of salt-do we really need to hear any more about chem trails? But today I couldn’t help being a little outraged and disgusted by a small snippet of information designed to do nothing but insight fear.

Antidepressant Use In Pregnancy Linked to Autism In Children reads the last tidbit of “information” in her column. It states that according to a study published in December 2015 there is an 87% increased risk of autism if mothers take antidepressants during their second and third trimes-

ters. It then gives a link. I have to ask, does reporting not require research and follow-up anymore? As this is a topic near and dear to my heart, I was curious. I went to the link provided by Sally. It didn’t bring me to the article. Instead, I was directed to the Health Action Network Society, a website dedicated to promoting connections with natural healthcare providers. I couldn’t even find the article on the website Sally directed me to, but I happen to know how to use Google so I went ahead and searched for the article.

Not only did I find the article but also numerous other articles showing how the original study was flawed! Within min-

Open letter to Minister of Transport Dear Todd Stone I’m writing this open letter as it seems that the concerns of the tax paying citizens of Turtle Valley have a very low priority if any with the people responsible for maintaining our local roads. This is not a new problem, but an on-going situation that just seems to go from bad to worse, with the roads being gravel and the condition deteriorating where they are almost unusable in sections, in certain parts of the road you have to come to a stop and proceed by dodging craters in the road.

This, of course, puts you often on the wrong side of the road with only luck stopping you from running into a logging truck or gravel hauler coming the other way, as there are hills and curves in the road. I’m sure if any paved roads were in this condition, there would be cone markers out and a repair crew dispatched ASAP, but then these tax paying residents would probably have water and sewer hookups, street lights, sidewalks, and garbage pickup, just to name a few things we don’t burden the government with.

When we complain to the road maintenance representative for JPW, they say they have many roads to maintain and can’t be everywhere at the same time, which is understandable, but when questioned on the reason for the poor condition of the roads even after grading, they say the government doesn’t pay them enough to properly repair and upgrade the roads.

They admit to the fact that when

they grade the roads there is so little material left, that they are just pushing dust into the pot holes, which will return in a matter of days, but say there is no money to properly fix the roads. One interesting fact would be what does JPW do with all the money they must have saved not having to plow nearly as much with the low snowfall this winter?

These roads are not just for the residents farm vehicles; there are gravel pits, logging operations, a major animal shelter, fishing lakes, and camping sites, as well as being a detour route when the #1 Hwy is closed with an accident. Yes the residents chose to live in the rural country and understand that gravel roads do get potholes in them, but we still pay taxes and should not be treated as second class citizens because we raise animals and vegetables, to feed the people who live on paved roads. We should not have to destroy our vehicles bouncing from one pothole to the next, as well as endangering our lives at night and in foggy conditions, so someone can save a few dollars.

Either the government is underfunding JPW as they claim, or we need to replace this contractor for one who will do the job properly.

Someone must take responsibility for the safety of our roads and quit passing the buck.

Alfie Huston On Behalf of the Concerned Citizens Of Turtle Valley!

Bridge results Cedar Heights Duplicate Bridge results for Wednesday, February 17th, 2016, 1st - Jane Dale & Fred Viehoffer, 2nd - Betty & Fred Bergmann, 3rd - Jack Ashenbrenner & Vicki Coe The results for February 21st are; 1st - Dan Quilty & Gerry Chatelain, 2nd - Edie & Jack Swanson, 3rd - Ruth Embree & Michael Clayton, and 4th - Arlene & Bert Lamoureux. We play every Sunday at 1:00 p.m. at the 5th Ave. Seniors’ Centre and everyone is welcome. Info: 832-8589.

utes I had information from numerous reliable sources showing the limitations of the study including the lack of data by the researchers on whether or not the mothers had actually taken SSRIs (a type of antidepressant) or just been prescribed them and also a lack of lifestyle information (ie their BMI and whether or not they smoked), which could be a huge contributing factor to their maternal health. When you boil down the numbers, this study is about 31 children being born to women using antidepressants. Of these 31 children, 22 had mothers taking SSRIs, and of these, 5 children had an increased ASD risk.

All Sally succeeded in doing with her ONE sentence on this topic is create fear and misinformation. ASD is life changing, not only for the child diagnosed with it, but for his/her entire family. Information like this isn’t helpful. It reminds me of the MMR vaccination scare; another “study” showing a link between medication and autism that was ultimately shown to be a fraud. Sally, if you take on the responsibility of informing the public, you owe it to at least spend a minute or two researching your information before you publish it.

Give people the facts and not just fear.

Elizabeth “Betty” Faulkner Yates September 25, 1927 – February 18, 2016 It is with great love, sorrow, and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Elizabeth (Betty) Faulkner Yates on February 18, 2016 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, at the age of 88.

She is predeceased by her husband Sydney Yates, daughter Sheila Whiting, and young son Geoffrey Yates. She is survived by her loving family of 5 children; Debbie (Gary), Wendy, Tom (Cessy), Gary (Jackie), Jennifer (Gord), and her loving sister Addie, as well as 11 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.

Betty was born in Merritt, BC and moved to Canoe at the age of 12. She graduated from Salmon Arm High School. She was a woman who adored her family and loved her community with a passion. She spent her retirement years with Dad out at the beach house and their winters were spent in Arizona. Her final years were spent at Piccadilly Terrace where she met so many wonderful people.

She is deeply missed and truly loved by the ones left behind.

Her Celebration of Life will be held on Feb. 28 at 2 pm at Bowers Funeral Home. A tea will follow.

Email condolences and share memories of Betty Yates through the obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Salmon Arm Food Banks.

LANK, SHAWN JEREMY Mar. 8, 1972 – Feb. 13, 2016 Shawn passed away suddenly at the age of 43 years doing something he loved: riding his Harley.

He is survived by his companion of 13 years, Lana Sadler (nee Indridson), son Donovan, parents Patrick and Dolores, siblings Jason and Kim, nephews Dane, Kayden, Noah and Isaac, numerous relatives as well as many friends and extended family members.

Shawn was often referred to as a “Gentle Giant”; he was a big guy with a huge heart, often buying a coffee or a meal for a homeless person and paying it forward to others in need along his trucking route to various destinations.

He began his trucking life as a Tow Truck/Vehicle Recovery driver which after a few years found him in training for the Big Rigs. He took to the Highway Transportation Industry like a true professional. His time off the highway meant relaxing at home, catching up with friends and spending time with Lana and their little dog Trixie and of course riding his bike when weather permitted.

A casual Celebration of Shawn’s life will be held Sunday, May 17, 2016, at 1860-20th Ave. SW, Salmon Arm, BC, between 11- 3 pm.

In lieu of flowers please donate to your local food bank or to a Riders Toy Run in your area.

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

Madge Callens

SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS & HOTLINES

1912 – 2016

Margaret Jane ‘Madge’ Callens (nee Robertson) passed away peacefully at Parkview Place, Enderby, on Thursday morning, February 18, 2016 at the age of 103.

Madge was born August 27, 1912 on her parents farm at Mara, the fourth of five children. On completing school at Mara she helped on the family farm, was a cook’s helper at St. Michael’s Girls School in Vernon, and later worked in fruit packing houses around Oyama. Madge married in 1937 and they farmed until 1943 when her husband joined the BC Provincial Police/RCMP. This meant a move from Mara, and an opportunity for Madge to meet new friends and participate in many community clubs during postings to Kelowna, Grand Forks, Merritt, Clinton, back to Merritt, and finally North Vancouver. They retired back to Mara in 1965. Madge was a Life Member of the Order of the Eastern Star, and will be fondly remembered for her hospitality and love of a good game of cards.

Madge was predeceased by her husband of 54 years, J.H. ‘Cally’ Callens, in January 1992. She will be forever missed by her three children; Larry (Alice), Ian (Marg), and Jeanne (Rick) Garner; six grandchildren, Craig (Joanne), Kim (Mike) Jacobs, Kelly (Adrianna), Kathy (Lance) Block, Gage Garner, and Marlo (Sebastian) Lipsett; and ten great grandchildren, Courtney, Taylor, Brandon, Erin, Eline, Ian, Ari, Kassidy, Kayla, and Ginger.

A celebration of life will be held in the Mara Community Hall at a date to be determined. The family thanks the home care workers and staff at Parkview Place for their thoughtful and compassionate care of Madge.

Cremation arrangements entrusted to Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm. Online condolences may be sent to Madge’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
