MP Arnold Presses Government of ISIS Mission

Mel Arnold, Member of Parliament for North Okanagan- Shuswap, is pressing the Liberal government on their decision to remove Canadian jets from the coalition fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

Speaking during House of Commons debate on February 24, Arnold noted the government has pulled Canadian jets from the war on ISIS while deploying an increased number of Canadian Forces personnel.

“Can the government explain the logic in expanding Canada’s presence on the ground while eliminating our air support in the same step?” asked Arnold who also characterized ISIS as “an infectious lethal disease.”

Canada’s CF-18s flew 1378 sorties that destroyed 399 ISIS targets between October 30,

Tourism taking off in B.C.

By Tom Fletcher Black Press New direct flights from Paris and Tokyo and a decline in the Canadian dollar helped push international tourism near five million in 2015, a 7.9 per cent increase over the previous year.

A relaunched “Super, Natural B.C.” marketing campaign has also proven effective, gaining attention from global tourism publications, Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training Minister Shirley Bond said Tuesday, releasing 2015 visitor totals.

Bond hit some of the highlights of the tourism results, showing improved results far from Vancouver International Airport.

The gold rush town of Barkerville near Quesnel welcomed 60,000 visitors between May and September last year, a 20 per cent increase from the year before.

Sun Peaks resort near Kamloops saw a 20 per cent increase in room nights last July, demonstrating success in efforts to expand mountain resorts beyond the ski season.

Hotel occupancy was up 8.8 per cent in the province, and restaurants saw a 7.3 per cent increase, said Marsha Walden, CEO of Destination British Columbia. Victoria registered 87 per cent hotel occupancy in June, and “that hasn’t happened in 20 years,” Walden said.

The largest volume of visitors is from the U.S., which saw a 9.6 per cent increase to 5.2 million visits last year.

France had the largest percentage increase at 33 per cent to 29,000 visitors, after Air France added a direct flight to Vancouver. Visits from Japan were up 15.5 per cent, and South Korea and Mexico visits rose 9.5 per cent.

Visits from Asia Pacific countries rose 4.5 per cent and European visits rose 3.8 per cent.

2014 and February 15, 2016 when they were withdrawn by the government to fulfill a Liberal campaign promise.

Arnold called on the government to take “every action possible to eliminate the root cause of the madness and violence that has ravaged Syria and Iraq and has spread its shadow now across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and more.”

Arnold also expressed gratitude for the “Canadian Armed Forces personnel who have served and continue to serve for the cause of peace and humanity in Operation IMPACT. We must never forget our men and women in uniform, our fellow Canadians, who stand at the ready to go to the heart of danger to confront the threats to our nation.”

by Dr. Warren Gage

In searching for research articles for my weekly column I came across an older study that addressed an issue that I am questioned about quite regularly. The topic discussed was whether cracking your knuckles can cause arthritis in the knuckle joints. This is an old study in the Western Journal of Medicine from 1975 and although it was a very small study I found the results to be quite interesting.

The researchers looked at elderly patients averaging 78 years if age and compared whether they were habitual knuckle crackers or not and then took x-rays of the knuckle joints in their hands. Basically, what they found was in the group of knuckle crackers, only 6.7% of them had signs of arthritis in the hands.

In the group of non-knuckle crackers they found 38.5% of the individuals had signs of arthritis.

This was a very small study and there are a number of various factors that relate to the development of osteoarthritis. However,

what this study did show is that people who regularly crack their knuckles do not seem to have ended up with arthritis in the finger joints. In fact, if one really stretches the interpretation of these results, knuckle cracking may actually reduce your chances of developing arthritis in these joints!

Considering the age of the study I did find the terminology used to be somewhat amusing. One of the researchers conclusions was “The chief morbid consequence of knuckle cracking would appear to be its annoying effect on the observer”. So, this may suggest knuckle cracking isn’t as bad for us as we would like our kids to believe, but we probably shouldn’t tell them about this study “to avoid the “annoying effects on the observers”.

Spiritualist Church of Salmon Arm offers Spiritual Healing

Spiritual Healing has been practiced in many cultures since the beginning of recorded history. In ancient cultures, the designated Healer was recognized as an individual who was able to “direct healing energy” and likely was the precursor to the evolution of what we now know as “The Art and Science of Medicine”.

For many years, the Healing of the Spirit became the sole province of organized religion, and the medical model moved more in the direction of science and the curing of diseases. Complimentary Healing, or what we choose to call Spiritual Healing was illegal outside of the church until 1951. Since then the types of

ing to those principles. We offer healing to those adults able to ask for it. Minors are required to have parental permission.

The Healee sits amidst a group of trained Healers who set their intention to channel Universal Healing Energy to the Healee. The process continues for five minutes in which the Healee may experience an exchange of temperature and some tingling. Or, they may feel nothing but it has been our experience that even sceptics often notice change either during or following the treatment.

The Spiritualist Church of Salmon Arm has been offering Healing to the wider Community for approximately 18 months. A decision was made recently to offer the non-denominational Healing regularly on the third Tuesday of each month from September until June.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and Healing starts at 7:00 p.m. The venue is the Senior’s Centre at 31 Hudson Avenue NE in Salmon Arm. There is no charge for the Healing.

All of these modalities rely on the intention of the channeling of universal energy to a willing recipient. The Healer requests whatever healing is necessary for the individual’s highest good. A cure is never promised, although there have been many experiences resulting in significant change.

Lakeside Insurance now Johnston Meier

Lakeside Insurance signage is now coming down and being fully replaced by our new name, Johnston Meier Insurance.

Johnston Meier Insurance is a BC owned and operated full service insurance agency that was established in 1973 and now has 41 offices throughout BC. Both the Enderby office of McLeod Insurance, and the Salmon Arm office of Lakeside Insurance, became part of the group in February 2013.

While the outside may be changing some, you will find that inside it is business as usual, with the same great staff to serve you and all your various insurance needs. Over the last three years we have been able to take advantage of the access to more insurance markets and to better systems and technology that being part of a bigger group has provided. Both the Salmon Arm and the Enderby offices offer a full range of insurance products from ICBC autoplan, to homes, commercial, farms, marine, RV’s, travel, and more.

Unique Household Idea I like to use small jars, preferably plastic ones, to store small items in the shop.

Peanut butter jars are ideal, but they often have a stubborn label glued onto the jar.

Soaking in soapy dish water doesn’t always work, but this usually does: carefully fill the jar with almost-boiling water from the kettle (tap water is not hot enough); let it sit for a few minutes, and then slowly peel the label off. With this method, all the glue usually stays with the label, and there’s no additional effort required to get the glue off of the jar. Works for me!

Using your hands, plug your ears and nose. Have someone hold a cup of water to your mouth. Take 12 sips of water and the hiccups will often vanish!

Dear Reena, What are the steps required to remove white water marks on an antique wooden night stand? Christina Dear Christina, Since the table is an antique the water may have stripped the finish of the table. If this is the case, you will need to refinish the surface of the table.

But first, place a tea towel onto the area and press the mark with a warm iron.

Observe whether the stain is gone. Next smear mayonnaise over the spot, leave for one hour and wipe. If the stain remains, sand and refinish the table.

Feedback from Reader Re: Fridge Odor Dear Reena, I contacted you a while back about a bad odor in our fridge as the result of a meat spill. You suggested using crumpled newspaper, and it worked like a charm! The odor is gone, and I can’t thank you enough! Vi

Dear Reena, I own two very furry cats. I always put the toilet seat down when the toilet is not in use but when I lift up the seat it is covered with fur. Seems like fur is attracted to the seat, any tips for how to stop the mess? Nadine Dear Nadine, Wipe the toilet seat with a fabric softener sheet, the fur will not be attracted to the area.

You can also wipe the outer portion of the toilet with either liquid fabric softener (and rinse) or white vinegar, to deter fur cling.

Hi Reena, I know that you are a big fan of baking soda; I have another use for baking soda. I use it to cure my hiccups, but the taste isn’t to my liking. Do you have any other suggestions for curing hiccups?

A r d e n Dear Arden, Baking soda is one of those underappreciated products that I lovingly refer to as a Household Superstar!

It helps deodorize, unclog drains, remove stains, cure bad breath and the list goes on and on. However, when it comes to curing hiccups my favorite solution is water (although 1 tsp. of peanut butter or Nutella chocolate spread are also fast and effective but the hiccups tend to return).

I received this tip from a retired school teach-

“ITS HANDMADE” IS AN ARTISAN CO-OP The co-op is looking for artists! Formerly the Canadian Tire building, Its Handmade will occupy 5,000 sq. ft. of the west part of the building (the side with the garage doors) for an artisan co-op. It will include the artists’ co-operative, a commercial kitchen that can be rented by the hour, a 36-seat bistro where everything is $5 or less, and a rentable meeting/classroom. Chris White is in charge of social media, website and artisan liaison. If you go to www.itshandmade.ca, you will see his expert work.

Click your mouse on any part and you will see what it is. They take possession of the building on May 1, 2016.

SALMON ARM FARMERS’ MARKET OPENS MAY 7 The farmers’ market will be on the west side of the former Canadian Tire building. It is Salmon Arm Farmers’ Market and will not be part of the Shuswap Farm & Craft Market that is beside Centenoka Park Mall. The new one will be operated by three owners who form the board of directors of the entire project: Heather Middlestead, Chris White and Karen Dow. All are volunteers. The home page of www.safm.ca has a countdown in seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks to opening day on May 7. The farmers’ market will be outside every Tuesday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Vendors will be able to move indoors during the winter if they wish. Application forms are on www. safm.ca.

OLD WOODEN MATERIALS ARE NEEDED Its Handmade co-op is looking for 300 wood pallets, old orchard ladders and old wooden doors. Do you have anything else that would make a unique display showcase? Send an email to Chris White at chris@itshandmade.ca and he will determine if it is suitable and arrange pick-up.

ALMOND MILK IS A SCAM; MAINLY WATER David Wolfe tells you how to make your own almond milk in 30 seconds. He says on www.davidwolfe.com that almond milk is typically a combination of almonds, water, sweetener, a thickener such as carrageenan and often fortified nutrients such as vitamins A, E, and D. Almond milk can be so low in calories, about 30 calories in a cup, compared to 160 calories in a serving of almonds. It is because it is mostly water… not almonds.

Many people have no idea how devoid of nutrients their trendy dairy milk alternative actually is, states www.businessinsider.com. Each two-litre carton contains just over a handful, or about 2 per cent. This leaves almond milk largely empty of the most beneficial part of almonds protein.

CITIZENS PATROL HELPED COLDEST NIGHT WALK Eight volunteers from Citizens Patrol were at intersections during the walk by about 200 people on the evening of Sat., Feb. 20. I waved walkers to the Lighthouse Shelter, and 75 toured it and were very impressed. Many offered to help, and bring food. The Coldest Night fundraiser gave people an idea of how cold it could be in the evening for homeless. Registration was at First United Church, the start was in front of city hall, walkers crossed the highway twice, had free hot chocolate in front of Starbucks, and ended with a light supper at the Salvation Army Church.

OLD-TIME RADIO WILL BE CREATED IN SALMON ARM Voice of the Shuswap community radio in Salmon Arm has received a $48,720 grant from the Community Radio Fund of Canada to create programming in the style of oldtime radio.

HOG FUEL, SIMILAR TO SHAVINGS, IS FREE In December, 2011, the government made developers insulate the base of uncovered concrete foundations so they will not freeze. Reimer’s Farm Service delivered several truckloads of hog fuel to two foundations at Valley Vista condos and I hired five men to spread it.

Now, I need to have the hog fuel taken away. Reimer’s suggested putting it on the internet, which I did. On Saturday a man came from Armstrong with a truckload of plastic tubs from large trees. Call me at 250-833-2129 if you need some.

BOWERS & FISCHERS HAVE BEEN ASKED FOR THEIR COMMENTS NEXT WEEK Last week’s column had information by a Kamloops undertaker, taken from The Connector. The locals have been asked for comments in the March 11 Sidewalk Superintendent. I have some questions for them, and I invite your questions to me before Monday noon at 250833-2129 or sallys1@telus.net.

You can’t take them with you

Giving life after death is a beautiful gift, and one organ and tissue donor can save the lives of up to eight people and help improve the lives of up to 75. It’s also one of those topics people don’t normally think of unless it personally affects them or someone they care about, despite the reality that anyone can end up on the waiting list.

Many Canadians think they’re already donors, but long gone are the days we could easily sign up for a decal on our driver’s licence and forget about it. We now have to go to the extra trouble of filling out a form online. This procedure only takes a couple of minutes, but since it’s usually not top of mind, the vast majority of us are not registered.

In fact, only 24 percent of us are. Among developed countries, our nation ranks near the bottom of the list of donation rates. As a result, organs and tissue that are medically suitable for transplanting are buried or cremated rather than going to someone in desperate need. In 2014 alone, 195 people died while waiting for an organ.

Over 4500 Canadians are currently hoping for a life saving transplant. With 90% of us in favour of participating, there should be no wait at all.

There’s a tried and true solution to preventing these needless tragedies: an opt-out program, also known as presumed consent. What this means is that everyone of a legal age is considered a donor unless they de-register their name.

This would require less administrative work, and save precious lives.

Spain provides an outstanding example of how well this has worked. In 1989 when their donor rates were only at 20 percent, Dr. Rafael Matesanz, a kidney specialist was hired to improve the system. They are now a world leader in organ and tissue donation with a vast majority of their citizens embracing the benefits for all.

“It’s a source of national pride,” Matesanz has said. “We are very proud to contribute to the system.”

Some argue there are ethical and religious reasons why this isn’t a good idea. Not only are most religions on board with this life saving concept, the easy and confidential ability for any individual to opt out at any time disputes that objection.

Shelley Hunt from BC and Jessica Royan from

Alberta are passionate about this cause and they have personally watched too many patients needlessly die when they should have been saved. They have also witnessed the life support treatments such as dialysis that countless people must endure for lengthy periods of time as they do their best to hold on.

The compassionate women created the “Because I Can Project” with a goal to eliminate that wait. They have worked tirelessly to raise awareness about organ shortage in our country, and they’re actively petitioning for a revamp of the registration process nationwide.

As it stands now, the opt-out program is far within reach. Our government is well aware that thousands of lives could be improved and hundreds could be saved by implementing this superior plan, yet it hasn’t been enacted. Hunt, Royan, and other activists will keep pushing for this change while encouraging petition sign ups and organ registrations.

There is no age limit.

Canada’s oldest organ donor was 93 and oldest tissue donor was 102. It’s not enough to just register, however. A lot of donations are lost due to family members rejecting the intended donor’s decision while experiencing grief. It’s important those wishes are communicated with them clearly ahead of time.

It’s not necessary to wait until death before giving the gift of life. Healthy people can donate a kidney or part of the liver, lung, intestine, pancreas, bone marrow, or blood to another person.

Hunt became a live donor over a year ago when she gave one of her kidneys to save the life of a stranger. The young mother of two received some criticism for risking her life, but after extensive research, she was confident in the safety of the procedure. It also gave her an unexpected advantage.

“It might seem crazy, but it will actually put me in a safer position than most other Canadians,” she explained. “When you become a live donor, you’re automatically moved to the top of the list, and if I ever need an organ in the future, I’ll get one sooner.”

To check if you’ve registered, and to sign the petition for the opt-out program, please visit BecauseICanProject.com. Once this program is adopted, waiting lists will cease to exist in our country, and treasured lives will be saved.

Problems, problems Hokey, dokey, boys and girls. Old Mall Arkey has a problem for you to solve. Down at Salmon Arm Secondary, three students—Susan, Samantha, and Billy—are arguing over a guitar. Samantha wants to keep the guitar because, well, she made it in shop class from a plan she found on the Internet. Susan claims the guitar on grounds that she is the best guitar player. Billy says the guitar should be his because he is very poor and will never have a music instrument of his own.

You are the teacher called in to settle the dispute. You listen to all their reasons for wanting the guitar.

Which one of the three students do you award it to? Email me at raon61@gmail with your choice and a sentence or two why you chose that person.

For our next problem, Susan, Samantha, and Billy are all grown up. Samantha has worked hard, saved her money, and, with the help of her grandfather, bought a small apartment building downtown.

Susan has been elected mayor, and Billy spends too much time at the pub and is still poor.

Samantha wants to sell the apartment building to a developer who plans to tear it down and erect a strip mall. Mayor Susan says no.

Though there’s no shortage of rental accommodation, she says, future residents of Salmon Arm may need inexpensive apartments, so she says she is going to have council turn own the developer’s proposal. Billy thinks this is great and demands that Samantha provide him with an apartment in the building at half the usual rent on grounds that he’s living in his car.

Which of the three do you side with and why?

I’m interested in how you respond to this and will analyze the responses in a future article. As you may have guessed, there is a third and much more challenging problem ahead. Samantha is going to buy a farm.

Shovels full of sunshine to the wonderful people who shovelled my driveway (sorry I’m late) during the Christmas holidays, you made my year. And to my great neighbours, Toni, Randall, & family, thank you for all you do. - P.M.

cinemaphile

by Emily Garrett In a secluded valley in Iceland, two unmarried brothers, Gummi and Kiddi, live in neighbouring homes but have refused to speak to one another for 40 years. When faced with difficulty, Gummi prefers to solve a problem armed with only his wits, whereas Kiddi sticks to his guns – literally. The two have little in common, with the exception of their continuously prized sheep-stock, considered one of the country’s best ancient lineages. But when a lethal disease suddenly infects Kiddi’s rams, the entire

Rams farming community is under threat of losing their main source of income when the authorities are called in and decide to cull all the animals in the area to contain the outbreak. Joined by their mutual stubbornness and passion, Gummi and Kiddi are forced to come together in order to save their ancestral flock, their life’s work, and perhaps, even themselves, from extinction.

Rams shows at 5pm on Saturday, February 13th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Letters to the Editor

Create a better Canada?

A Pile of Chickens, Lyn Richards.

I came upon the letter to the editor titled Eastern & Central Canada sells out the west, and was surprised that such a rant would actually make it in the paper. First of all, the topic is not ‘local’ as a letter to the editor should be and second, Mr or Ms B Campbell does not seem to be bothered by facts but rather makes unsubstantiated claims about people he or she finds inferior to him and fellow western Canadians. I want to try to bring a bit of balance by answering some of the points he or she makes. For your information, B. Campbell, there is no province in Canada called the Maritimes, there is New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador which is not considered a Maritime province. These 4 provinces all have very different issues and different political affiliations. One thing they have in common is being largely overlooked by the former government in benefitting from being part of this wonderful union called Canada in terms of federal funding, representation in the government and such. As a result of that, for most of the last decade these ‘have not provinces’ have struggled with poor opportunities in employment. No wonder that the exploiting companies in the oil sands, richly benefitting from government “action plan” money, have actively recruited young people in the 4 named provinces. And yes, their wages were probably much higher than the minimum wage jobs they might have been able to score in their own province. Do you think they would leave their families and loved ones behind for weeks at a time if they didn’t desperately needed the work? It is not their fault that the oil sands collapsed. It is also not Mr Trudeau’s fault. Did you think

that the desperate situation the whole country is trying to get out of, was caused by the Trudeau government in the 3 months they have been in power? No sir, or madam, this has all happened under the former government. Just because the former government lied and wouldn’t admit in election time that a deficit was growing out of control, doesn’t mean it was not the case. That is the inheritance that this government has to work with. That is the reason why they will have to go into deficit spending. You cannot stop a government from spending money even though the country is in debt.

None of this has anything to do with Mr Trudeau’s policies on marijuana and the refugee situation, whether you agree with him or not.

And it is certainly not true that Eastern Canadian provinces have been the only ones voting the new government in.

‘The west has natural resources and intelligent people with the desire to prosper and create a better Canada’ you say. Are you implying that people from the Eastern provinces you attack here are stupid backward people with no desire to enhance our beautiful country? Or that they would not want to prosper? I also do not think most western Canadians are sick of the whining as you say it, at least I sincerely hope it is just you who is. And my observation of the people here does nothing to support your view. But then, what do I know, we moved here from New Brunswick because of work about a year and a half ago. So we are part of the problem in your opinion. It must be a surprise to you that I am intelligent enough to write this letter.

SACA Membership drive Sorrento & Area Community Association (SACA) is launching its annual membership drive. The role of SACA in our community is to promote matters of common concern and interest to residents, businesses and property owners in the area and to advance projects or improvements that will benefit the area.

Since the splashy 100th anniversary of Sorrento in 2012, the Association has been relatively quiet – doing its good works mostly unnoticed: ensuring the sidewalks are cleared of snow in winter; planting, weeding and watering plants in the ‘downtown’ core in spring and summer and trimming edges to manage spring and summer growth; contracting with a provider to equip and clean the public toilet on the Sorrento Shoppers’ Plaza; and supporting community-led activities such as Remembrance Day ceremonies, Christmas light-up, trails, and most recently, a Seniors Housing Study. We must remember that SACA was the force that made the successful application for a Nurse Practitioner in 2013 leading to the establishment of the very successful Community Health Centre in Sorrento. SACA also provides a unified voice for Sorrento and area when that is required before senior levels of government.

SACA, in order to be effective, needs the support of numbers so please consider this when you are asked to join, or renew, for the cost of $5 each; (business listing on the Sorrento web site www.sorrento-shuswap.ca, $50; total price $55). The more members we have, the more attention is paid to us as truly being representative of our community. It’s a small price to pay. Current behind-the-scenes activities include representing the community with respect to the installation of sewers; CSRD’s Area C Governance review, providing input into the four-laning of the TransCanada highway; road maintenance issues; encouraging the establishment and appropriate use of our community parks and other facilities.

We really need someone to take on the responsibility of updating and maintaining our website and Facebook page. If you have skills in either of those areas, please call Barry Stokes at 250 675-3306.

Current members will receive a membership application in their email inbox. If individuals do not get one in this way, you may pick up an application for membership at any of the following Sorrento businesses: Lighthouse Market, Munro’s Prescription Drugs, or Sorrento Building Centre.

In addition to applying for membership, please keep your eyes open for a springtime announcement of a special event to gather residents together . . . because it’s 2016!

Bridge results The results for Cedar Heights Duplicate Bridge for Wednesday, February 24th are: 1st - Jack Ashenbrenner & Vicki Coe, 2nd - Betty & Fred Bergmann, 3rd (tie) - Diane Wiebe & Sharon Eckstrom, 3rd (tie) - Doss Burman & Al Christie.

Opening our eyes

By Nan Dickie You may or may not think that a depression support group (DSG) would be appropriate for you. But you may have a friend or loved one who would benefit by trying it out. So, please read on.

More than four years ago, I spent three weeks in the mental health program at the Vernon Hospital. Prior to this time, the only person in Salmon Arm I knew who lived with a mood disorder (clinical depression or bi-polar disorder) was Garry Hall, who supported peers through the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). Like most other people in my situation, I felt very isolated. I was on my own on the bumpy and slow healing process. (Unlike with many illnesses, there is no cure for mood disorders or other mental illnesses; we heal from episodes; we experience remission from symptoms.)

As my mental health improved, Garry and I decided to start a DSG in Salmon Arm. We received facilitator training from the Mood Disorders Association of BC (MDABC). I had previously attended a Community Volunteer Support Program at the Family Resource Centre in Salmon Arm. On January 16, 2012, we held our first meeting of seven nervous but eager participants. We got the word out through local newspapers and posters distributed in town. We continued meetings twice a

Is this for you?

The depression support group in Salmon Arm

month and people kept coming. Early on we adopted the motto: “We’d rather share with strangers who understand, than with friends or family who don’t.” These “strangers” soon become special friends.

Garry retired from the group two years ago. I continue to facilitate the DSG twice a month for an hour. Participants have decided that an hour is ample for sharing.

We have three rules for our meetings: strict confidentiality; participants are not required to speak (they can simply listen); and we do not advise, criticize, or judge anyone. Rather, we share our experiences - concerns, fears, useful tactics, opinions about mental health services, successes and difficulties, and so on.

I suggest a topic at the beginning of each meeting, and then each person (who chooses to) checks in for a minute or so saying how they are doing at that time (or over the past two weeks) or they speak to the topic. When a new person joins us, each participant says what his or her particular diagnosis is with brief details at check in so the new person knows he or she is among like-individuals. New participants are usually comfortable by the end of the check in.

Then we discuss the topic as it relates to our personal experience. Inevitably, this morphs into another (and another…) topic important to participants. I keep a list of

all the topics we have discussed - and there are dozens of them!

To be fair to the person speaking, to “give them the floor” so to speak, we use a “talking stick.” This stick is passed from one speaker to the next. An individual can put up his or her hand when someone is speaking, and the talking stick will go to them when the current speaker is finished.

This procedure works very well. It gives the shy person a chance to get his/her thoughts together before speaking; no one can interfere or interrupt if there is a brief silence when someone is holding the stick.

We end each meeting with a check out, when participants may say whatever they want (if they choose to share); for instance, how the meeting was for them, how they feel about the next couple of weeks, or what they would like us to talk about at a future meeting.

We welcome friends and family of a new participant to their first meeting.

Some people find that this support is necessary and/or useful. The parents, siblings, children, or friends of participants always gain more understanding of their loved one’s disorder as a result of their attendance at this first meeting.

To date, about 50 different people have attended at least one session. At each meeting we have between 9 and 15 partic-

CSRD WANTS RESIDENTS TO CHOOSE FREE YARD WASTE START DATES

The melting snow has some residents within the CSRD thinking about spring cleanup and many are wondering when will the CSRD’s free yard, garden and metal waste disposal event will start.

“In the past, CSRD staff has picked free event dates at least six months in advance, in order for municipalities to include the free event dates within their municipal calendars.” says Ben Van Nostrand, Team Leader of Environmental Health Services. “More often than not however, the dates we choose don’t make sense. It’s tough to predict the weather so far in advance, and then we face criticism for not getting it right.”

So for 2016, the CSRD is asking residents to tell them what the start date of the free events

Letters to the Editor

The Canadian Federal Government enjoys a favorable international reputation that on the subject of animal welfare, it does not deserve. Here are the facts obtained from the World Animal Protection Index. Over fifty countries have been evaluated on their concern for animal welfare on a scale from A to G. European countries are some of the best with mostly A’s and B’s. The UK has earned an “A” and India is rated with a “C”.

Whereas Canada is lagging behind with a “D”.

Canada is worse than China and India in the categories of: Protection of animals in captivity, Scientific research, protection of farm animals, and recognition of animal sentience. The federal laws look good by stating that animal abusers can receive fines and jail sentences.

But the reality is that one-third of 1% of abuse complaints ever lead to criminal charges.

Animal Abuse 2012 after taking a poll asking whether Canadians approved of cosmetic testing on animals. They are still continuing this practice although 88% of us disapproved. There are no Fed. regulations for animals in zoos and circuses or for farm animals during rearing. Animals can be transported for up to 52 hours with no food, water, or rest. Animals left in pounds for a minimum of 3 days can be used for research under the “Animals for research Act” (RSO 1990 c.

A22 s. 20-2).

Many amendments to existing laws have been presented to the Fed. Gov. that have been rejected by the Senate because they favor “animal use industries”. While many countries throughout the world are making progressive changes to animal welfare laws, Fed. laws in Canada have had no significant changes since 1892!

Canada is still in the “Dark Ages” concerning animal welfare. Please help our animals by contacting your local Member of Parliament and voicing your outrage against Gov. sanctioned animal abuse!

Trout or Char... We enjoy fishin ‘em

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley The pretty young lady of 16, in the bright coloured dress, was standing on the lush green lawn, beside the McCleod river, at Soda Springs, on the Sacramento river, close to Dunsmiur, California that day, admiring the catch of large trout several anglers had caught. At the time, they were known as Calico trout. She had just read the novel by Charles Dickens, called Barnaby Rudge, one of the characters being Dolly Varden. She then suggested the fish be that name, and it stuck. Since that time, the char (it is related to the brook trout, lake trout, and artic char) has achieved world class fame, in the angling community, for it’s beauty, colour, quality, and the true form of a game fish. The reason our young lady suggested the name was because her dress was the vogue fashion at the time (1870), styled in sheer figured muslin over a bright red dotted petticoat, which is characteristic of the Dolly Varden, including the blue hallos. Back about 1840, it was also called square tail or speckled trout and is a very pretty fish, especially in it’s fall spawning colours. Hybridization of brook trout with other species are commonly propagated, due to it’s brilliant colouration, combining it with other species, resulting in hybrids. A good example is the tiger trout, found in some Saskatchewan lakes (anglers come from many places, including the US, to fish this species).

In the hatchery, brown trout eggs are

fertilized with brook trout milt. It is sterilized for growth. The brookies having 84 chromosomes, to the browns having 80. The splake, which has been propagated in National parks hatcheries for many years, is also a combination of lake trout eggs, and brook trout milt.

These fish are an easily managed species and are easy to catch by anglers. A third hybrid, is the arctic char. This, when artie char eggs are fertilized with brook trout milt. Although brook trout are stocked in limited lakes, due to being an invasive species and have had a large impact on cutthroat and bull trout in western Canada, they are a delight to catch, and have excellent eating quality. I guess you could say the most fascinating aspect overall, of the fish culture programs, is the genetic selection, and tripliody of these and other strains of trout. This is done by pressure shocking the eggs, then placing them in a warm water bath, after fertilization. This process produces one extra identical set of chromosomes. These fish now have an advantage over mixed sex stocks, because of slower maturity in the females, and a longer fishery.

They are then marked as AF, 3n. A prime example of this is the stocking of kokanee into Monte lake beginning a few seasons ago. They are all female (AF3n) fish. Getting back to brook trout.

A fishing fanatic buddy and I, once again returned to good ‘ol Beaver Dam

lake last week which is situated toward Clinton, on highway 97 at the Meadow lake turn-off, to a howling wind and polished ice conditions. We could drive the 4×4 onto the lake, using it as a windbreak. Again, the brook trout ranged to 2-3 lbs., and were receptive to a shiny silver spoon/small shrimp baited smaller hook below, gigged, to attract them in! Although it’s almost springtime here, with ice leaving the local lakes, there is still great ice fishing in the Bridge lake region for avid outdoorsy ice angler types who enjoy South Caribou hospitality, hobnobbing with the locals, and a change of scenery.

A Burr under the Saddle Hunting report: If you didn’t get your quota during Canada goose season to December, you hunters have the opportunity to harvest a few more birds.

Season opens Mar. 1 to 10. Last week’s Armstrong Advertiser illustrated a photo of a head of large bull moose, antlers and all, draped over a Morning Star paper box on Wyatt road. As hunting season is well over, and most ethical

hunters still have dreams of the big buck that got away, it’s either a practical joke or a poached animal. Aboriginal hunters can harvest game at this time of year if they desire, but I’m sure most have their freezers full as it is.

I for one, am finding it more difficult to understand the frustration Aboriginal bands feel due to demands placed on our society, wanting more compensation (money) because they were not consulted over various matters. As well, the courts have ruled First Nations can sue forest companies and industrial giant mines for not respecting land claims. A pulp mill is being sued, along with two bands suing Rio Tinto Alcan, Kenny dam hydro electric project, this being developed years ago. Another concern is the upholding of the Merritt-Coquitlam hydro transmission line by the Utilities Commission by BC Hydro because bands were not properly consulted. The treaty process is in shambles and the sooner treaty issues are resolved the better for all citizens of the province.

Attached is a photo taken on February 7th in Stanley, the capital of the Falkland Islands...with them holding copies of the Lakeshore News and the local Penguin News.

Stanley has been the capital since 1845 and is a deep-water port, although our cruise ship anchored offshore, tendering the passengers to the town of just over 2000. It has reportedly

grown by about one-third since the Falklands War of 1982, thanks to increased tourism and fishing. It was a lovely town to visit as the people were very welcoming. Norma and Peter receive $10 for having their picture printed and are also entered in the Travels To contest for 2016.

Assisted living rules to be eased

By Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C. is preparing to make it easier for seniors to stay in assisted living longer before moving to residential care.

Health Minister Terry Lake said amendments will be presented in the current legislature session in response to recommendations by Seniors’ Advocate Isobel Mackenzie.

“One of the things she has found is that sometimes people are inappropriately placed in residential care when they could be in assisted living longer.” Lake said. “We have somewhat

rigid regulations around who can stay in assisted living before they have to move on to residential care.”

Mackenzie’s January report also found that home care worker hours declined in 2014-15 in three of five health regions, Northern Health, Vancouver Island and Vancouver Coastal, despite increasing senior populations.

She said reductions in meal preparation, bathing and housekeeping can also lead to seniors moving from their homes to care facilities.

Orchard Park Terrace Sandy Ridge Construction has constructed an energy efficient condo with 3 different floor plans, large kitchens, hardwood, ceramic tile, stainless steel appliances and blinds all included.

Just move in, landscaping, maintenance and snow removal all taken care of.

Shuswap Trail Alliance catches national media attention ... in Chile

The Shuswap Trail Alliance just went international. STA technical trails specialists, Veda Roberge and Jacob (Sutra) Brett, were featured in a full page colour story in Chile’s national newspapers, El Dia, last week. The coverage came as part of a two week exchange between the Shuswap Trail Alliance and the AMA Torres del Paine, a non-profit conservation organization that works with the Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, Chile. The two organizations have been sharing a conversation on sustainable trail design, restoration, and management. “These guys are famous now!” wrote the President of the AMA Torres del Paine, Mauricio Kusanovic, in a message to Shuswap Trail Alliance Executive Director, Phil McIntyre-Paul. “This is the most read newspaper in the country,” he exclaims, pleased with the national exposure the shared project is attracting which supports their ongoing conservation efforts. The added attention also helps to support the local eco-tourism economy in the Patagonia region.

“We have completed an inventory with restoration recommendations and new route options for one of the main trails on this preliminary visit,” said Veda. The 9 kilometre section of trail was identified as an ideal pilot to assess the overall state of the trail system. But discussions on the long-term sustainability of trails in the region led to a bigger conversation. “We

kind of exploded things to a whole new level,” laughs Sutra, identifying the need for a comprehensive master trails plan for the National Park beyond just localized technical repairs. Torres del Paine, Patagonia, is recognized as one of the top trekking and climbing destinations on the planet. It is visited annually by international travellers from around the planet.

The AMA Torres del Paine organization works with the Chilean National Park service providing conservation and educational programs. Part of their work includes maintaining the internationally recognized trail system. “We have an internationally famous trail system,” said AMA president, Mauricio Kusanovic. But many of the trails originate from old cattle trails, “so we have significant issues with erosion and a need for restoration, but we don’t have the technical trail building knowledge.” Enter the Shuswap Trail Alliance who have developed a tenacious capacity for building community partnerships and upgrading the technical standards of greenway trails throughout the Shuswap region in interior British Columbia. “We’ve been sharing notes between our two organizations for several months now,” said Shuswap Trail Alliance executive director, Phil McIntyre-Paul, thanks to a connection made by Ross Cloutier, with the Thompson Rivers University Faculty of Adventure, Tourism, and Culinary Arts. The faculty is a sup-

porting partner of the Shuswap Trail Alliance. Cloutier connected the two organizations through the TRU Adventure Tourism program’s international program based in Patagonia, Chile.

In return for sharing technical expertise, the Shuswap Trail Alliance is learning from the international partnerships and educational work of the AMA Torres del Paine. “We are excited to be able to experience this beautiful part of the planet and also share with others who are trying to do similar work to the Trail Alliance,” said Veda and Sutra. “This is really an amazing opportunity to learn from an organization that has a long history of collaborating with international partners,” says McIntyre-Paul. “We’re hoping to reciprocate with a similar visit to the Shuswap territory so their leadership can work alongside Veda and Sutra and others here who have helped us develop the standards that are getting the Shuswap noticed on the international radar.”

And if Mauricio’s latest correspondence is any indicator, this partnership is destined to grow. “I am pretty sure this is the start of a big project regarding the Shuswap Trail Alliance and Torres del Paine,” writes Mauricio, thanking Veda and Sutra for their knowledge and time volunteering in Patagonia. “There is a

(local) legend that says if you kiss the Yagan foot (an indigenous Patagonian statue), and eat calafate (a local traditional dish), you will come back. Veda and Sutra made both!!! So it’s destiny now.” Veda and Sutra return to the Shuswap this week. A special presentation on their recent work in Patagonia will be presented at the Shuswap Trail Alliance Annual General Meeting. For more information on the work of the AMA Torres del Paine visit www.amatorresdelpaine.org, and for the Shuswap Trail Alliance, visit www. shuswaptrails.com.

The two organizations are supporting each others work to create sustainable trail systems and conserve vulnerable natural places. In exchange, the STA is learning about the conservation programs of the AMA. Torres del Paine, Patagonia, is one of the top trekking destinations on the planet.

The L Turner Contracting Atom A Development Silverbacks hockey club won the OMAHA Playoff Championship this past weekend in West Kelowna. The team went into the playoffs as the second ranked team in the division, just 2 points behind Winfield. The Silverbacks started out the weekend winning their first 3 games against West Kelowna and both Penticton teams.

Sunday morning the team played the Kelowna Ice Dogs. Kelowna wound up winning the game creating a 4-way tie for first place, with each team having 3 wins and 1 loss. Once all the tie-breaking formulas were run and calculators burnt out, it was determined that Salmon Arm would play Kelowna again, this time for the championship. This game, the team came out flying. They scored 2 goals on the first three shifts of the

game, and they never allowed Kelowna to get back into the game.

Silverbacks won the Championship game in a decisive 7 to 2 victory to bring the banner to Shaw Centre.

The Atom A Silverbacks would like to thank the community for their support and encouragement this season.

The banner winning team is made up of; Goalies: Isaac Mitchell and Lucas Patterson, Defencemen: Max Beckner, Kayle Janzen, Brayson York, Treyden Currie, Landon Ruth, and Nathan Mayes, Forwards: Caleb DeHoog, Maddux Martin, Trent Thiessen, Oscar Mayes, Connor Howell, Rylan Blackstock, Eli Eklund, Gage Parrell, and Jaxon Hadath.

BC Training and Education Savings Grant

SALMON ARM – It has never been easier to put money aside for your children’s or grandchildren’s education, thanks to the B.C. government.

Since its introduction in August 2015, more than 9,000 applications have been approved for the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant. This $1,200 grant from the provincial government helps parents plan and save early for their child’s post-secondary education.

Now even more children are eligible.

As announced last week in Budget 2016, the B.C. government is investing $39 million to extend the grant to eligible children born in 2006. The families of these 40,000 additional eligible children will be able to apply for the grant later this year.

The one-time grant of $1,200 per eligible child will be deposited into a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) upon approval of the application.

To be eligible for the $1,200, children must have been born in 2006 or later, and they must reside in B.C., along with a parent or guardian. Families have three years to submit an application for the grant when their child becomes eligible.

“This is a fantastic way for parents in the Shuswap to plan and save for their child’s post-secondary education,” Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said. “No matching or additional contributions are required to access the $1,200. Even

a small amount of savings in an RESP increases the likelihood that a child will continue their studies after high school.”

“We know that children go from preschool to post-secondary school in what seems like the blink of an eye,” said Christine Thiessen, SASCU Uptown branch manager.

“Planning for their children’s education can be stressful for parents, but a small amount of work today could amount to a large contribution to their child’s future education.”

Parents in Salmon Arm, Sorrento, Sicamous, Enderby, and Armstrong can go to SASCU Credit Union, Enderby and District Financial, VantageOne, or Valley First Credit Union to kick-start their savings for their children’s future.

Applications can now also be made at any branch of BMO Bank of Montreal. It is anticipated that the other major banks will begin offering grant applications in the coming months.

For more information on the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant, go to www.gov.bc.ca/ BCTESG or call 1-888-276-3624.

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 common-law spouse 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 15, 2016, at 1860 20th Ave. SW, Salmon Arm, B.C. between 12 - 4 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.

Fred Wood

Fred Wood of Salmon Arm, born on February 9, 1930 in Weston Ontario, passed away peacefully on February 16, 2016 at the Kelowna Hospice House. Born to Jack and Lillian Wood he was a brother to Ron (Helen), Jean (Ernie), Ernie (Rita), Mick and Margaret.

Fred married Betty Anne Barker in 1951. They lived in Toronto, Winnipeg and Edmonton before settling in Tappen in 1978.

Fred and Betty raised 5 children during this time. Following the passing of Betty in 2007 after 55+ years of wonderful marriage, Fred moved into Salmon Arm. In 2010 Fred renewed an old friendship with Marg McQueen. That friendship grew into something special. Marg would eventually move to Salmon Arm in 2010 and the two were married in October 2013. A very thankful Thanksgiving.

Fred was an avid outdoorsman, hunting, fishing, and camping were his passions. He was also a fan of big block motorcycles and was the owner of a mid-40’s Harley Davidson. A motorcycle he would eventually sell so he could afford to buy an engagement ring for his bride to be, Betty Anne.

But what Fred will be most remembered for is being a father and family man. Fred inspired & enabled his children to do as much as they could as best as he could. Having his kids play softball, baseball, hockey, bowling he ensured we were at the games in time. Fred spent many many hours watching these activities. This passion he would later share with his Grandchildren and created many great memories. Those that came to meet Fred got to know a person who was friendly, honest and kind.

He always had time for a long chat or a few words. You need help? Ask Fred. He was someone who would always make an effort to help those who needed help. Perhaps this was best shown when Fred and Betty ran the Salmon Arm Food Bank from 1981 to 1996.

Fred and Betty were also responsible for the start-up of the Christmas Bear Program in Salmon Arm. Fred is survived by his wife Margaret and her two sons Jimmy (Shelly), John (Nancy), daughter Anne (Don), sons David (Beth), Michael (Cheryl) and Scott (Kathleen), Tom (deceased 2015), William (deceased 1953). Fred also leaves behind 9 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren which he dearly loved.

Fred’s family would like thank those at the Kelowna Hospice House, Dr. Breugum and Dr. Connor from Salmon Arm, Dr Mark Clark from Kelowna. Fred’s family would also like to thank all those friends and family from Salmon Arm to Toronto for their support and well wishes during these past few months.

A Celebration of Life service was held from Bowers Funeral Chapel on Saturday, February 20, tributes were shared by family and friends. Cremation arrangements in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm. In lieu of flowers the family request that donations be made to the Shuswap Hospice Society. Donate on-line or mail in, PO Box 976, Salmon Arm, BC V1E 4P1.

Lakeshore News travels to Unsweetened Organic Almond Milk Dave & Lori Wolkowski of Salmon Arm recently travelled to Port Elizabeth, Bequia.

On the surface this looks like a great alternative to the people that wish or need to avoid cows milk. I have been making my own almond milk ever since I learned how to maximize the nutrient profile. (A thorough rinse and a good soak overnight to neutralize hard to digest phytic acid.) Apparently poorly broken down phytic acid likes to bind to essential minerals like calcium, zinc, iron and magnesium forming an insoluble compound. Nut and milk allergies are sprouting like weeds in the spring garden for the last few years. Are the nuts to blame, or would the fairly recent introduction of radiation on top of crop sprays cause the gut issues? Reading the ingredient list on some of the more popular milk substitutes you will find three additives that truly need to be avoided. First; Vitamin A Palmitate is added. This is a synthetic vitamin that you also

CONGRATULATIONS!

foodsalive COURTESY OF OKANAGAN RAWSOME

by Afke Zonderland find in many multi-vitamins. The Organic Consumers Association warns that isolated synthetically produced Vitamins are not recognized by the body and cannot be metabolized as the vitamin A that you find in carrots for example.

The second bad compound is Vitamin D2. This Vitamin is manufactured industrially by irradiating yeast. It should never be added to food, especially if this food is intended for children.

The third culprit is Carrageenan. This compound is so toxic to the human digestive system that it is now formally classified as a carcinogen by the International Agency for research on Cancer.

Way to go Food industry! You will find these three innocent appearing nasties in most milk substitutes. Soy milk, (a definite avoid for kids) coconut milk, cashew milk (the new kid on the block), rice milk and almond milk. The sweetened and fruit flavoured varieties are best left in the store on account of the high sugar content.

Rice milk is a waste of money seeing that its nutritional profile has few redeemable qualities to start off with. So what are moms and dads to do? Making your own almond milk takes time most families do not have in the morning. The current price of almonds is another consideration. Raw, whole, unpasteurized goat or grass fed cows, goat or sheep milk is often referred to as the better choice unless you are lactose intolerable. Talk about controversial! The truth remains that pasteurization destroys lactase, the enzyme necessary to digest lactose and fragile milk proteins are denatured and rendered as an allergenic. No easy answers and the nut and soy or coconut milk producers are not helping the milk dilemma by adding fake ingredients that are harmful.

Homemade Almond milk with a twist

• 2 cups raw almonds, soaked in filtered water overnight • 2 tsp quality salt • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar • 1/8 cup raw honey • 1 tsp pure vanilla • 1 tsp pure almond extract Rinse and drain almonds; Slip off the peels and discard. Blend the almonds to a thick paste with 1 cup of filtered water until a smooth paste is formed. Mix this almond paste with the remaining ingredients and add more filtered water to a 2 quart glass jug. Cover tightly and leave on the counter for 1 day if you wish to ferment this delicious milk into a kefir like ‘cocktail.’ Refrigerate. Stir before serving.
