Letters to the Editor

Canada sells out to the west?

Thank you B. Campbell for your fact and truthful letter to the editor titled Eastern and Central Canada Sells Out To The West. The truth doesn’t always feel good, and when presented, there is always opposition, as one individual referred to your letter as a rant.

Truth is, some of our Western Premiers here in BC and Alberta also have displayed anti-oil and anti-pipeline views, causing an estimated 100,000 job losses or

more and Montreal mayor, Dennis Coderre does not want Western Canada oil flowing through their province, creating hundreds of jobs for Canadians from West to East, yet has no problem with Saudi oil coming up from Maine to Quebec, via pipeline. Is the truth hurting yet?

Saskatchewan Premier, Brad Wall tweeted Coderre to return 10 billion dollars of Western Canada’s transfer payments,

since he does not want the Wests Oil, sending him into a childish tantrum comment. Truth is, these transfer payments of 20 billion or more to Eastern Canada is nothing more than Internal Welfare for the least productive provinces and the Laurentian Elites are still using the West as their cash machines, constantly bailing out the CBC, Bombardier, Air Canada, etc., who care less about operating a profitable busi-

ness. Yes, the truth is hurting. And then their Alberta’s Premier, Ratchel Notley, with her Attack Budget, forcing oil companies that believe in operating profitable business, to go elsewhere, as some scaled back or closed down their operations, some moving to Saskatchewan, South China Seas, Indonesia, etc., while the price of a barrel of oil is the same. All the while, some of our Premiers and our clinical narcissist selfie PM Justin Trudeau tell their evil lies that our economic woes are due to the

price of oil.

Conservative MP Mel Arnold showed his concern over the return of our fighter pilots from Iraq and Syria, which is ok for now, but truth is, thousands of boots on the ground means hundreds of loss of life, body bags, coffins, and funerals. Wars have been going on for at least 6000 years that we know of, and men, women, and children die, and those, unfortunately, are some of the results. Mistakes and decisions from all sides of our elected government is ongoing. Some readers of the Letters to

Premier backs Green bill on sex assault Tom Fletcher Black Press Premier Christy Clark voiced support Wednesday for Green Party leader Andrew Weaver’s call for university policies to prevent sexual assault.

Weaver told the legislature that a Thompson Rivers University student was recently assaulted twice in one term, and was told “maybe you would be better suited to a different school.”

A University of Victoria student described a recent university investigation of her sexual assault complaint left her feeling “completely invalidated and silenced,” Weaver said.

A male UVic student was arrested in late February and charged with five counts of sexual assault after a series of attacks in recent months.

SEED POTATOES

Weaver’s bill would require colleges and universities to develop policies to educate students and prevent sexual assault as well as support people who are assaulted on campus.

Clark said it’s unlikely that legislation can be prepared and passed this spring, but she agrees the problem of sexual assault on campuses is an urgent priority and the advanced education ministry is working on it.

“Sexual assault on campus is a cultural problem,” Clark said.

“So yes, we have to help and support women if they are attacked. But we have to change the culture so it doesn’t happen.

“It’s like anti-bullying programs in schools. We focus on changing the culture of schools so the school rewards kindness rather than meanness.”

Let The Kids Play

COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

Growing up in Canada playing competitive minor hockey there always seemed to be those few parents each year who thought their son was going to be the next Wayne Gretzky or Sidney Crosby. Their child was put into every hockey training camp they could find. Endless amounts of money and time were spent on equipment, travel, and private coaching sessions. And of course, countless hours are spent in an arena practicing every aspect of hockey. While all this focus definitely refined the player’s skills, I also saw it backfire more often than not when the child or teenager became burned out and lost all interest in the sport they had started out loving so

much.

Anyone who is involved in a sport like minor hockey knows that the percentage of Canadian kids who are fortunate enough (and good enough) to make it to the NHL and make hockey a career is extremely small. While the above mentioned attitude of laser focussing on everything hockey may pay off for some, research is actually showing that this approach may not be the most effective.

Further to this, the US Olympic Committee (USOC) surveyed 2000 olympic athletes to investigate whether they solely focussed on a single sport to achieve world class ability, or if they played various sports. The results were interesting in that olympians were involved in an average of three sports until the age of 14. These findings go against the notion that if you simply invest 10,000 hours into a single activity you will develop world class skills. In fact, the USOC feels that it is better for kids and young adults to play 10,000 hours of various sports to learn how to be an athlete, then when the passion and skills for the main sport emerge, success will follow.

To achieve greatness in any sport there cannot just be a “love for the sport”. Another essential aspect is the athlete needs a strong “love of activity” meaning they simply need to enjoy playing all sports. Getting athletes to have a mindset of “wanting” to go to practice rather than “having” to go is essential. The research shows that this is easier to achieve when the activities are varied and fun for the athlete. From a health and wellness aspect, nurturing a mindset in kids to “love activity” will positively impact their health through their entire life.

Time to talk ticks The early spring weather means many of us are spending more time outside. We aren’t the only ones enjoying the unseasonable warmth the change in weather also brings out ticks – small bugs that feed on the blood of humans and animals and can sometimes transmit disease.

Ticks are most often found in tall grass and wooded areas, so covering up before you head outdoors and checking for ticks on yourself, your children, and your pets after being outdoors, are simple things that go a long way to prevent tick bites.

“The most common tick species in the Interior Health region is the Wood Tick (Dermacentor andersoni - photo below), which is not known to carry the Lyme disease bacteria, said Dr. Silvina Mema, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health.

“The Wood Tick can carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, although it is very rare. Some ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness and paralysis but the symptoms fade once the tick is removed.”

The tick species that carries Lyme disease (Ixodes pacificus) is more common in the coastal areas of BC, but may also be present in low numbers in areas within Interior Health.

Less than one per cent of Ixodes ticks in B.C. carry Lyme disease. In addition to fever, headache, and muscle pain, people infected with Lyme disease will often develop a rash that looks like a “bull’s eye” target and expands from the site of the tick bite.

“Most tick bites do not result in illness; however, all tick bites should be cleaned, as infection can occur whenever there is a break in the skin,” added Dr. Mema. “It is

important to watch for signs of tick-transmitted illnesses. Signs of many tick-borne infections can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain, and rash.

Anyone who experiences a bullseye rash or other symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible.”

Other precautions include: walking on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas, wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants, and light-coloured clothing, tucking pant legs into socks or boots, applying insect repellent containing DEET on uncovered skin, carefully checking clothing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live, and having a shower after returning from areas where ticks may live.

To reduce ticks from entering your home and yard, try these steps: keep your lawn short and remove any fallen leaves and weeds, keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls - any play equipment or play zones should be kept away from wooded areas, trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard, keep wood piles and bird feeders away from the house, and widen and maintain trails on your property.

If you find a tick on yourself, a family member, or pet, wear gloves and gently remove it. Use needle-nose tweezers to gently grasp the tick close to the skin and pull the tick straight out without squeezing.

After removal, clean the area with soap and water. If you have concerns or need assistance removing a tick, please contact your family doctor or visit a walk-in medical clinic. More information is available at: Interior Health: www.interiorhealth.ca/

Refugee Response Team ready for Syrian refugees

SALMON ARM – The Kelowna Community Resources Society has been chosen to lead a Refugee Response Team in Salmon Arm, Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton to help refugees settle and integrate into these communities.

Funding will be provided in two installments with the first portion delivered immediately and the remainder in the summer when final settlement numbers are known.

Supported by the initial $30,000 through the $1-million Refugee Readiness Fund, the Refugee Response Team will identify and prioritize short-term community needs to support a co-ordinated approach to helping refugees.

Examples of the work the teams may do include providing links with employers or other labour market opportunities and co-ordinating community supports.

The team will have representatives from the refugee service provider community: settlement organizations, private sponsors, churches, educators, health-care providers and employers. The Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training will continue to engage with settlement communities across the province to ensure they have the capacity to support any incoming refugees.

“These funds will help ensure refugees are supported with the services they need to build new lives in our communities,” Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said. “I’m very proud of the concern and welcoming spirit shown to our newcomers by people in the Shuswap.”

Quick Facts: In addition to the $1 million Refugee Readiness Fund, the prov-

ince funds a number of programs for all newcomers, including: - $2.6 million investment for 1,200 newcomers to B.C. to get language training for the job market; - $1.5 million through the CanadaBC job grant to help get refugees job training and match them with employers; - $4 million for services for newcomers not eligible for federal services, such as: • Orientation and community connections; Formal and informal language training and practice; and Trauma counselling for refugee claimants.

• Wait periods and premiums for Medical Service Plan (MSP) coverage are waived for all refugees.

• Each refugee student in public school in B.C. is funded from the Province’s pupil funding formula.

• All refugees are able to access the Employment Program of B.C. In addition, all refugees are eligible to receive: Child Care Subsidy; • BC Early Childhood Tax Benefit – up to $55 per month per child under age 6; • BC Basic Family Bonus – up to $111 per child per month when combined with the National Child Benefit Supplement; and Student Aid.

insights COURTESY OF MUSHALUK FINANCIAL

by Jeffrey Mushaluk

Family Insurance – How Much is Enough?

A common question any insurance broker gets asked is: how much life insurance is enough?

While that may seem like a fairly straight forward and simple question, the analysis of finding the answer is more comprehensive. The two most important factors in determining this amount are affordability and need. Often there are cases where the need is extremely high, but the affordability is prohibitive. Other times the affordability is there but the need isn’t. Determining the need starts with the dynamics of the family’s objective. If the family has a single income earner, then the family needs to insure that person’s life and plan for the “what if event” if that person were to pass on and leave the family without their sole income provider. For example, let’s use a family of four where the father is the sole income earner and the rest of his family are financial dependents. They live in a $350,000 home, have a $300,000 mortgage and $40,000 in other forms of debt. The household income is $70,000 per year and both kids are in not yet in elementary school while the mother stays at home. How much insurance is enough for this family? A starting point is covering off all debt plus three years of household income to allow the family to transition, which in this case would be $300,000 + $40,000 + ($70,000 x 3 = $210,000) = $550,000 dollars. If the father and sole income provider died, the family could either invest the $550,000 and keep paying the bills, or pay off all the debt and use the $210,000 to transition into their new reality, or use a combination of the two.

Keep in mind that life insurance proceeds are taxfree, so in this example the family would get the full $550,000 if that is what they qualified for.

Another method for determining an amount is covering off all debt as well as providing the surviving family enough income until the last child is out of the house. Let’s assume the kids are 3 and 5 years old, so the family would need roughly 15 years of income. With household income of $70,000 gross, or $55,000 after tax, under this scenario the family would need $300,000 + $40,000 + ($55,000 x 15 = $825,000) = $1.165M dollars. This family still has the need to insure the stay at home parent, which in this case is the wife because who will raise the kids and run the household if something were to happen

to the wife? Is it realistic that the husband would continue to work and generate the family’s household income if he lost his partner? Not likely, so the need is there albeit to a lesser financial capacity.

The common denominators in any family insurance needs analysis are debt, income replacement, and financial dependents. For more information on insurance, visit my website at www.mushaluk.com.

FARMER GOES TO ARMENIA THREE TIMES Last week I wrote about Nick Kicey of Eagle Rock Rd. being at the Seed Swap in Enderby, selling tools, boxes and potatoes. He said he went abroad for three years to help with farming. With problems in Syria and Ukraine, I phoned and asked him which country he helped.

The modern Republic of Armenia became independent in 1991 during the dissolution of the Soviet Union. CESO there was welcoming people from abroad to teach them how to make money, and Canada’s CIDA was federally sponsoring people to go there. Nick spent two or three weeks in the spring of 2002, ’03 and ’06. He took money, seed and a hand seeder. They paid his plane fare, and he stayed and ate with families. He didn’t speak their language but young people spoke English, and he had many interpreters. It was a memorable experience.

MANY WIDE WHITE TRAILS WERE LEFT IN THE SKIES OVER SALMON ARM AT NOON ON FRI. MAR. 18/16 Chemtrails were visible over our skies at noon a week ago. The first two created a large X to enable the location to be seen from a satellite. Later I could hear one of the planes as it left another trail, without wearing my hearing aides.

“BACK HAND OF GOD” BEER At Pub Theology last Thursday, I ordered a small glass of Crannog Ale’s Back Hand of God beer. When it arrived, it was green. I asked the server what was added and she replied “A leprechaun.” March 17 was St. Patrick’s Day, and it was the theme for the evening. The new room was much quieter than Hideaway Pub last month. Mary and Jackie at my table had most of the St. Patrick’s questions correct, and then we had a good discussion.

DESPERATE E-MAIL ABOUT CRA CALL “I just got a call from someone claiming to be from the CRA and that I owed thousands of dollars and my bank accounts will be frozen in 24 hours. Any one else heard from these people?” I replied: It’s a scam. Hang up.

KLAUS LUDWIG FROM BERLIN HAS EUROS A local man brought a long letter to Lakeshore News from a partner in a firm in Berlin, Germany. He received it because he has the same last name as Klaus’s late client who died leaving 8.6 million euros with instructions to leave it with his family. Not being able to find any relatives, Klaus is searching for people of the same name who would be interested in splitting the bequest with him 50/50. It’s a scam. I will recycle the letter.

Calgary-based Hippo Hug Inc. was founded in 2011 by a therapist who worked with autistic children and saw the potential for adults. “The best hug ever!” is the motto of Weighted Blankets Plus in Sunrise, Ariz. After reading this, I stopped using heat in my bedroom, and added a folded Hudson’s Bay blanket

to the top of my bed. I sleep much better! A weighted blanket is used for people with dementia and cerebral palsy. It is compared to deep tissue massage. It’s a proxy hug. Google weighted blanket Canada.

WHAT ARE THE NEW BUILDINGS WEST OF TOWN I was about to leave Wendy’s one afternoon when a woman stopped me to say how much she enjoys this column, and to ask if I knew what the large new buildings are just west of town. I didn’t know, but I drove out five kilometres off the highway on Silver Creek Road and saw a large white house, with large barns farther back off the road. The dairy was moved from Abbotsford, and the 200 milking cows were settled in their new, modern, automated home on December 1, 2015.

GRASS-FED BEEF IS DELICIOUS AND NUTRITIOUS! On my way back to town from the dairy, four km away I stopped at Grass Root Dairies, formerly Gort’s, for several packages of frozen beef. I had bought its gouda cheese in a grocery store. Milk from grass-fed cows is very popular. Grass Roots delivers between 100 and 120 two-litre glass bottles a week to Askew’s Uptown and over 40 two-litre glass bottles to Askew’s Downtown.

Askew’s Downtown just recently started to carry GrassFed only milk in one-litre plastic bottles. Its yogurt and cheese are available in both stores.

CANADA IS THE SIXTH HAPPIEST COUNTRY Denmark is the first happiest country of 156 again, followed by Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, according to the World Happiness Report Update 2016, released in Rome by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network for the United Nations.

The United States ranked 13th in overall happiness, lagging behind Canada which ranked sixth. The editors say happiness provides a better indicator of human welfare than do income, poverty, education, health and good government measured separately.

VISIT MEIKLE STUDIOS ON ROSS STREET Across from the fountain at the Ross St Plaza, in a former bicycle shop, is a wonderful studio operated by Adam and Jenna Meikle. They moved from Grand Prairie, Alberta, where Adam worked in construction by day and painted by night in a little studio in their home.

They moved to Salmon Arm because of family; Adam’s father and brother work in the industrial park.

Meikle Studios had a grand opening a week ago, and

on Friday, April 1st it will start a weekly sip-and-paint.

The walls have many paintings by local artists as well as Adam’s. The Salmon Arm Sketch Club paints there, and Adam has kid’s and adult classes. He has only primary colours, and mixes his own to give variety. www.meikle. studio. No ca or com.

MACS GETTING INFECTED NEEDS A CORRECTION An email subscriber to my column caught a little error last week: “Not with respect to the ransomware problem, but where it is lurking. It isn’t in any version of OS X, the Mac operating system. Instead, it’s in an application called Transmission, commonly used for downloading torrents. So it really affects a tiny fraction of Mac users who may be using Transmission.”

CANOE FOREST PRODUCTS SPILLS INTO THE LAKE Two kilometers from the Shuswap Lake water intake for the City of Salmon Arm, a spill of thousands of litres of runoff water containing some fuel and glue products forced the city to use water from its alternate water intake source as a precaution. It happened on March 14 and was investigated by the Ministry of Environment. Water from the plant was stopped from being discharged to the lake and the warning was lifted the next day.

Interior Health warned the public to avoid recreational use within 300 metres of the log booms in that area of the Shuswap, meaning no boating, fishing or swimming.

Anyone who privately draws water from that area of the lake was advised not to use it. Interior Health monitored the situation to ensure the health and safety of area residents.

THE BRICK FURNITURE STORE WILL MOVE It is official that The Brick is moving to the west end of Centenoka Park mall in October 2016. Brad & Kathleen Honey moved to Salmon Arm in March 2014 from Fort St. John, B.C. CANADA IS THE THIRD DIAMOND PRODUCER I couldn’t believe Canada is the third in the world producing diamonds (Ed Fast, former federal trade minister, at a talk in Vernon). When I was a nurse in Dawson in 1960, gold mining was its industry. But diamonds? I asked Linda Hawes to help me, she sent two addresses.

A Natural Resources Canada website says major kimberlite discoveries were made in the 1980s in the Northwest Territories. Son-number-one wrote that it was discovered by a geologist from Kelowna. Canada became a diamond producer in October 1998 when Ekati diamond mine opened.

The Northwest Territories’ website at www.iti.gov.nt.ca says Yellowknife has two sorting and valuation facilities in the capital city. The world’s first polished diamond certification program was developed there, and many locals produce jewellery, art and fine crafts. Imagine!

Tax break?

The right to clean water On any given day, more than 1,000 boil-water advisories are in effect across the country, many in Indigenous communities. Places like Shoal Lake 40, Grassy Narrows and Neskantaga have been under boil-water advisories for decades. Of these, 1/3 of them are in British Columbia. Other provinces have a listing of why there are advisories, yet British Columbia does not. Currently, in Armstrong, the residents of the Hullcar valley who use the Hullcar Aquifer as their water source by way of private wells, and a water system “Steele Springs,” have had an advisory on their water. This advisory is due to a very large dairy farm which sprays their effluent above our water source. At places above our water source, there is

only a couple of feet of sandy soil before there is water. We have been trying to get the government to act for over two years to no avail. We have asked the Ministry of the Environment, Agriculture and Health to step in and stop this pollution of our water source.

They have refused to do so. Lots of excuses are given; that they don’t have the information, etc. I tell you, this information has been provided to them, they are stalling. We need some legislation from a federal source to protect our most precious commodity. I need to ask you to give these few facts a good read.

Ask yourself, why are the government bodies that are hired to protect our water not doing anything about it?

-More than 80 per cent of the

Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality relating to chemical contaminants provide less protection for public health than other industrialized nations.

-Canada is the only G8 country without legally enforceable drinking-water-quality standards at the national level. We know this to be true; these ministries were passing the buck back and forth, please help us.

It’s time for the federal government to implement the right to clean water in Canada by passing an environmental bill of rights that respects, protects and fulfills our right to a healthy environment, including the right to clean water.

Volunteers are important to the community Volunteering to participate in organizations is very important to the well-being of our community. Many organizations help with providing support to people requiring assistance and they foster an improved “community spirit” by bringing people together to address such requirements and, as a result, help make our local society a better place to live. There are many ways to contribute your voluntary assistance. You may choose to become a member of a charitable organization which is directed toward assisting people that require our support. For example, the Seniors’ Resource Centre is currently in need of volunteers to help seniors with their desire to maintain an independent and healthy lifestyle while continuing to reside in their own homes (contact Marilyn at 250-832-7000). In addition, there are many other organizations such as the food banks, churches used goods society, child and family resource groups, youth organizations, etc., who would, no doubt, welcome your

by Daron Mayes Last week we offered you some tax tips that will hopefully helps you reduce the amount of taxes you have to send to Ottawa and Victoria. This week we want to expand on one of those items; the Medical Expense Tax Credit.

I periodically remind you of the Medical Expense Tax Credit as it continues to be one of the more popular tax credits that people take advantage of, but also one that can be complex. So here is a refresher.

You can claim “medical” expenses that you pay out of pocket, but only the portion you are not reimbursed by a health or dental plan. You can deduct the premiums you pay for a private health or dental plan. However, you cannot deduct your monthly MSP public health premiums as they are specifically excluded.

So what qualifies as “medical”. Well, there is a long list of different items that qualify, but I’ll highlight a few common ones.

Generally, you can claim your eye glasses/contact lenses, hearing aids and root canals. Essentially, most expenses related to services provided by a doctor, dentist, chiropractor, optometrist and

voluntary assistance. Also, we have a number of service clubs in our area that would very much appreciate having you become a member and to volunteer a bit of your time toward their very worthwhile activities. Salmon Arm Elks is an example where, in conjunction with grants from the provincial government (lottery), and a number of fundraising activities, are able to donate funds to very worthwhile charities each year (contact Peter at 250-832-6145 for more information). Other similar service club organizations include Rotary, Royal Purple, Canadian Legion, men’s and women’s church groups, etc. Please seriously reflect on becoming a volunteer in any community organization of your choice and “step up to the plate” before it becomes too late and we lose one or more of these worthwhile organizations because of lack of support.

R.W. (Ron) Reddecliff Salmon Arm

Medical Expense Tax Credit physiotherapist amongst others.

I often get asked, “Can I claim my hot tub? It really helps me with joint and muscle pain.”

Well, unfortunately, a hot tub does not qualify. When it comes to hot tubs, you can argue all you want a hot tub helps with your aches and pains. You can even get a doctor to write a letter saying it is good for you. However, Canada Revenue specifically excludes a hot tub as a medical expense. Canada Revenue won’t disagree with you that it helps with your pain, but that doesn’t mean they’ll allow you to include it as a medical expense for your taxes.

A big item that is sometimes forgotten is travel expenses to obtain medical services. There are detailed rules related to medical travel, but essentially you can claim mileage if you travelled more than 40 kilometres in one direction for medical services you could not otherwise get closer to home. You can also claim meals (subject to certain limitations) and accommodation if you travel more than 80 kilometres in one direction. For those of us in the Shuswap, this can be a real benefit as it isn’t uncommon for us to have to see a spe-

cialist in Vernon, Kamloops or Kelowna.

For the 2015 tax year, the mileage rate you can claim is 48.5 cents per kilometre in BC and you can claim $17 per meal to a maximum of $51 per day.

They had to specify a max of three meals a day for people like my teenage sons that seem to have 9-10 meals a day.

The federal credit is 15% on allowable medical expenses that exceed 3 per cent of your net income. So if, for example, your net income is $40,000; you would need over $1,200 in allowable medical expenses before you would receive any benefit. Also, if your taxes payable has already been reduced to zero it doesn’t matter how much allowable medical expenses you may have.

Once your taxes payable are zero, you can’t reduce them any lower.

In the end, be sure to check with your tax professional to ensure you are claiming everything you are entitled.

Remember, the Junior Bean Counter wants you to keep as much of your hard earned money in your pocket instead of sending it to Ottawa and Victoria; that way you’ll have a few extra bucks to buy lemonade and cookies from him this summer!

The tax “break” MLA Greg Kyllo is promoting for charitable contributions by local farmers to local charities has got to be one of the cruelest frauds yet perpetrated on the public in the name of helping the farming community.

“The tax credit, worth 25% of fair market value, is available to individuals and corporations that carry on the business of farming.”

When it was first announced, I thought that the only people who would benefit from it would be folks with a few fruit trees or a garden who have extra produce. Now I see that even that is not so.

This is window dressing, nothing more, like one of those conservative projects so loved by the government of Stephen Harper where the advertising proclaiming it cost more than the entire budget for operations.

Let’s look at the numbers: the average farm income for our region is $6,000. Last time I checked (apart from the fact that you can’t survive on $6,000), that was far below the minimum income on which people pay taxes; so just who benefits from a tax credit when their payable income tax is zero?

Like I said, it’s a cruel fraud. Non-farmers who support the B.C. Fiberals will gush and applaud. The only produce I can see being donated is what the producer can’t sell. Day old kale, anyone?

The “bright, industrious people who grow food in the Shuswap” can only grit their teeth.

What they need is not a tax credit, it is an end to the free trade pacts that allow predatory marketing by foreign producers so that prices will reflect the actual cost of producing food here rather than the cost in a country where the legal wage is 65 cents an hour or where dumping a surplus to get it off their own market is commonplace.

Opening our eyes

By Nan Dickie The stigma of mental illness: It’s worse than you think I wish I didn’t need to write about the stigma of mental illness, because I wish that this stigma didn’t exist. However, regrettably, it is alive and flourishing everywhere, including in our community.

Sometimes stigma is so subtle it escapes detection; sometimes it is so blatant it makes you shudder. Subtle stigma is arguably the more entrenched, as it hides underground in silent thoughts and whispers.

People who live with the mental illnesses of clinical depression or bi-polar disorder (that includes me) face major challenges throughout their lifetimes; debilitating episodes, careers derailed, relationships destroyed, hopes dashed, assaults to their self-esteem and feelings of self-worth, to mention a few.

It takes a great deal of courage for these people to live with their recurring episodes of a disorder and its consequences, let alone acknowledge their plight. It then takes more courage to address their illness by seeking treatment, and to do the inner and outer work necessary to manage the illness as well as possible. And even MORE courage is required to tell one or more others about their condition, let alone “come out” to the wider world.

And if this is not bad enough for one person to carry on his or her shoulders, and

within his or her head, the pejorative public attitudes associated with mental illness are piled high on top of these already considerable weights. This is adding unjust and harmful insult to an unwelcome and devastating illness.

What do we mean by “stigma” as it relates to mental illness? Stigma is a set of negative and often unfair beliefs that society has about mental illnesses, whereby those who live with these illnesses carry a mark of disgrace, a strong feeling of disapproval from others.

How did this stigma arise in the first place? It originated at the time of the formation of our belief systems, the stories we tell ourselves to define our personal sense of reality. Each of us has a belief system that we live by, and through this mechanism we make sense of the world around us. When we were young (be that ten or sixty years ago), our culture taught us to believe that mental illness is a personal fault, something to “get over,” a weakness.

These assertions are false. But if no one parent, teacher, coach, the media, etc. - tells us otherwise, we hold fast to those beliefs.

Other false beliefs pile up mercilessly on top of those.

Beliefs we hold range from being factually true to being blatantly false. Many beliefs are irrational, unfounded in facts, that is, they are absolutely wrong. These beliefs sometimes become deeply held

Worse than you think prejudices, negative attitudes about people who are labelled as different and/or inferior. These prejudices include believing that people with mental illness can never recover, they are violent and unpredictable, and they can control their illness, if only they would try.

Prejudices are extremely resistant to change. Armed with these prejudices, some people exhibit discriminatory behaviours expressed toward people with mental illness, by acting out their prejudice.

Stigma, prejudice, discrimination; three destructive steps on a no good, barbed, slippery slope.

Many people who live with a mental illness say that the stigma they face is often worse than the illness itself. Due to stigma, they may lose friends and loved ones (the very people they need the most for support), be denied jobs and promotions, be ostracized by co-workers. They internalize public stigma (i.e., they self-stigmatize) and end up feeling unduly ashamed. They blame themselves for their ordeal, feel hopeless, embarrassed, diminished and demeaned. Self-stigma is not a choice. It is a cultural inheritance.

Individuals living with a mental illness may choose to deny their illness even to themselves, and hence conceal their illness from others. This may result in a reluctance to seek help for their condition (which is no less a medical condition than diabetes and

cancer). They may then face recurring cycles of debilitating and untreated depression. This is a sad - indeed horrible - stateof-affairs.

In taking a close look at the stigma of mental illness for this article, I realized that for most of my life I self-stigmatized. For decades, I bought into the lies that I was to blame for my illness, that I should be able to “snap out of it,” that I was weak. I am changing my inner assessment so I won’t carry this extra weight of self-judgment. It’s difficult enough grappling with the challenges of living with depressive episodes.

What can we do about the sorry state of mental illness stigma in our community?

What can YOU do to reduce the stigma of mental illness at home, at work, at school, in your organization(s)? It starts with each of us consciously and conscientiously examining our own stigmas (beliefs), changing any negative attitudes to more compassionate and less harmful ones. If you and I don’t do this, we will only perpetuate the negative labelling of a very vulnerable segment of our community.

MP Arnold Advocating for Local Investments from Budget Ottawa, ON - Mel Arnold, Member of Parliament for North Okanagan-Shuswap, is calling on the federal government to invest in regional infrastructure in the wake of the government’s federal budget. The federal budget presented in the House of Commons on March 22 is set to deliver over $120 billion in infrastructure spending in the coming decade.

“I have met with representatives from municipal, regional, provincial and First Nations governments over the past months to identify what the priority infrastructure needs are of our communities,” said Arnold from his Ottawa office. “I

have submitted a summary of what is needed to the government and I will continue to press the government to support improvements to our local highways, bridges, water systems, affordable housing and social programs.”

Arnold also voiced concern over the $29.4 billion deficit that the federal government is running in the federal budget and the long term effect this will have on Canadian taxpayers.

This deficit is nearly three times the maximum deficit cap the Liberals committed to during the 2015 election.

“The Liberal deficit announced on March 22 represents

debt that Canadian taxpayers must repay-over $800 for every Canadian and nearly $100 million for the 121,000 residents of this riding,” said Arnold. “Our party will be holding the government to account on how these dollars will be spent, what the intended results are of this spending and how results will be measured.”

“Residents of North Okanagan-Shuswap are on the hook to pay a share of this debt so I am going to working very hard to ensure our communities get their share of return investment from Ottawa.”

Opposition blasts Ottawa’s borrowing, spending

By Tom Fletcher Black Press Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau has handed down his first budget with a massive deficit of $29.4 billion – three times what had been promised during the election campaign – as the new Liberal government embarks on a stimulus program.

The budget forecasts more than $100 billion in deficits for the next five years, contrary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s election promise to balance the budget in four years. Morneau billed the budget as a plan to “revitalize the Canadian economy” and deliver a tax break to nine million taxpayers, and a more generous, tax-free child benefit.

Conservative leader Rona Ambrose said the finance ministry reported on budget day that the Liberal inherited a $4 billion surplus.

“There was still a surplus in January, and they’ve blown through that in the first 100 days,” Ambrose said. “What we’re seeing now is reckless spending without a job creation plan, and no actual plan in the budget to return to a balance.”

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair took aim at Morneau’s move to target additional Employment Insurance coverage to areas of the country hit hard by the slump in oil and commodity prices.

“Right now there are 850,000 people who have lost their jobs who are not even eligible for EI,”

Mulcair said. “The budget only takes care of 50,000 of them.”

Communities Minister Peter Fassbender said he is “delighted” at the infrastructure spending. With his own government touting its four straight balanced budgets, Fassbender declined to criticize the Trudeau government’s borrow-and-spend strategy.

Metro Vancouver mayors hoping for big infrastructure grants for rapid transit expansion may be disappointed that much of the future stimulus money will be back-end loaded in a second phase of grants after the next federal election.

A $370-million initial investment for Metro Vancouver transit is included and will assist TransLink in improving bus service and SkyTrain across the region.

The budget also indicates Ottawa can contribute up to 50 per cent of future capital funding, instead of the one-third from each senior government that was the practice in the past.

Big ticket items in the budget include the reduction of middle class tax rates – from 22 to 20.5 per cent for the $45,000 to $90,000 income bracket.

Only part of that is offset by an increase in the tax rate for income over $200,000 from 29 to 33 per cent.

The budget also includes $8.4 billion for aboriginal communities.

By Betty Schriver Every once in a while, you get to experience something amazing that leaves you thankful to be to be at the right place at the right time. To an artist, it can be seeing dramatic sunset, a breathtaking view of nature, or capturing a picture during a special moment in time. And sometimes, just sometimes, it’s participating in a workshop with an internationally acclaimed artist, who is not only is not only great in his artwork, but a special teacher that leaves you feeling like a better and more inspired artist than

The Magical Art of Terry Isaac

before the weekend began!

Eighteen participants in the Terry Isaac Workshop at the Blind Bay Hall on March 12 and 13, were lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. Jean Toker, president of the Blind Bay Hall says, “We were very fortunate to be able to book Terry, he’s a sought after instructor and limits his teaching time to ensure he has enough time to pursue his own art.”

Terry himself describes being thankful to being at the right place at the right time with a workshop he

took with Robert Bateman. He said, “Robert saw my work and created connections for me that I would not have easily made on my own”. He is humble, his work is amazing in it’s own right. He has been the featured “Artist of the Year” at a number of prestigious art shows/expos, placed in 12 stamp and print competitions, been commissioned to create for the Audubon Society handbooks, and hired to develop the main character in a Walt Disney production. His works are housed in prominent permanent collections such as Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Bennington Center For The Arts, American Airlines, First National Bank of South Africa, and in many private and corporate collections around the world.

His paintings have appeared for sale and resale at Christies Auction House, London. See more about Terry at www.terryisaacsart.com.

What is especially rare is to find an artist of that caliber also able to teach, and teach well! He provides great basic fundamentals that remind everyone of key elements while creating art before he begins any detailed direction to the actual piece done at the workshop. And from there he shows you first hand how he would tackle the piece. This leaves artists with trying his methods, incorporating their own experiences and developing the best painting they can with the new skills they have learned. He offers great critiques not only on the workshop piece, but any piece you are struggling with and want to bring to class for help.

The workshop left the Blind Bay Painters inspired and better artists. Yes, sometimes you feel thankful to be at the right place at the right time.

Hard work and dedication pays off

The 2015 – 2016 winter short course season for the Columbia Shuswap Selkirk Swim Club has been brilliant and the hard work and commitment they showed all winter has been well-rewarded. The short course provincial championships involve two meets based on qualifying time standards - AA and AAA. The AA Championships were held in Penticton in their great ten-lane pool and over 500 swimmers competed. The standard of racing was very high, the heats were super fast and it was very hard to make finals. Swimmers who made the finals were Lauren Gridley-Haack, Claire Hall, Olin Mosher, Ty Webster-Locke, and Torrey McKee. Ty Webster-Locke won gold in the 100 metre and 200 metre backstroke and silver in the 50 metre backstroke; Torrey McKee won silver in the 100 metre butterfly and the 50 metre butterfly, as well as bronze in the 100 metre freestyle. Claire Hall, at her first ever Swim BC Provincials, won bronze in the 100 metre free style.

Olin Mosher won bronze in the 100 metre butterfly.

The Swim BC AAA Provincial Championships were held in Victoria at the Commonwealth Games pool. Over 45 clubs and 560 swimmers took part. The question was: “Could they swim that fast in a high pressure meet, with lots of very talented swimmers and coaches on pool side?” The meet included 4 days of swimming. Molly Fogarty and Chantel Jeffrey represented the club in the 800 metre freestyle with Chantel placing 5th, breaking the club record and Molly equalling her best time.

The six members of the team swam hard and fast each day.

Head coach Barry Healey was really pleased to see the team compete with the best in BC. Swimmers making finals were: Molly Fogarty in 800 freestyle, 400 individual medley, and 200 butterfly; Matthew Nesdoly in 100 backstroke; Thomas Flahr in 50 freestyle; and Chantel Jeffery in 800 freestyle, 200 butter-

fly, 100 butterfly, 400 individual medley and 200 individual medley. Ethan Quilty swam very well in preliminaries. Medal winners included: Ethan Skofteby who won bronze in 200 backstroke and 50 backstroke and Chantel Jeffrey who won silver in the 200 freestyle. The Selkirks emerged as the 3rd highest ranked team from the Okanagan Region finishing ahead of Summerland, Vernon, Kelowna and West Kelowna

and short of only Penticton and Kamloops. The club placed 25th overall.

Many swimmers dream of participating at a national meet, however because the standards of Canadian swimming are so high, this is extremely challenging. The Western Canadians Meet is held each year in during the winter season and in a major games year, is a long course (50 meter) event. Last year the Selkirks had one swimmer achieve the very high standard for the Western Canadian Championships. The members of the

Selkirks decided to set a goal of qualifying four swimmers for the meet this year, indeed a large challenge not just for the swimmers but for the coaching staff! The team ended up with 5 qualified swimmers, one of the largest teams from the BC Interior. Coach Healey’s goal was to give the swimmers the experience of racing in the senior environment. The possibility of finals, never mind medals, was remote. It was a meet to build the team, for the swimmers to meet new coaches, make new friends, and a reward for the hard work put in thus far. It was also an opportunity to watch and learn from some of the best swimmers in Canada.

The team travelling to Western Canadians included: Torrey Mckee, Claire Hall, Molly Fogarty, Chantel Jeffrey, and Thomas Flahr. Between them they broke more than 12 club records. Preliminaries were super fast and challenging. Chantel Jeffery recovering from a few weeks of flu, dug deep to not only make finals but on the last day she won the Selkirks’ first ever Western Championships medal in the 1500 free!

Maggie Manning has qualified for the Para-Olympic Trials in Toronto in April. This will be a super experience for Maggie, she will swim all her best events, and is ranked in the top 10 in the world for her age group in the Para-Olympic 400 freestyle.

Chantel Jeffrey has been selected to swim for BC at the 2016 Prospects West meet to be held at the Olympic Trails in April.

Molly Fogarty, Chantel Jeffery, and Ethan Skofteby have qualified for the Age Group Canadian National Swimming Championships to be held in Calgary at the end of July. Chantel has also qualified for Senior Canadian Nationals to be held in Edmonton the first week in August.

Matt Andersen As of the last few weeks, Matt Andersen’s career has rocketed to another lofty plateau and with that news, Salmon Arm ROOTS&BLUES is very pleased to announce that Andersen will be front and centre at our 24th annual festival on the weekend of August 19th thru 21st.

Since it’s release in late February, Andersen’s new album Honest Man debuted in the Top Five on the Soundscan charts sitting in the company of Adele, Justin Bieber, 1975, as well as Macklemore & Lewis.

In the midst of his Honest Man tour, Andersen has already played to over 15,000 Canadians with 45 dates yet to come, he’s making his mark at American Triple A Radio with 13 adds in the last couple of weeks, and enjoyed almost 10 million visits and views on Youtube with over 100,000 of those being directed to his Honest Man album.

The powerhouse singer and ferocious guitarist has been building his career coast to coast for over a decade now, playing most of our major festivals, being introduced to large audiences via Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Café tours, feeding off the continent wide

buzz of rave reviews, and his heavy rotation on roots and blues radio programs across the nation.

It’s impossible to argue with the string of reviews that follow his performances and recordings that have played a major role in his winning the 2013 Euro Blues Award for Best Solo Acoustic Act, a similar award at the 2010 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, numerous Maple Blues Awards, and a mantle full of East Coast Music Awards.

“When you hear New Brunswick fret-master Matt Andersen wailing away the word dexterous comes to mind, because he’s tearing off enough rapid-fire acoustic licks to challenge Eddie Van Halen on “Eruption”. - Georgia Straight “Matt’s sprawling blue, roots and rock musical hybrid with his soulful voice and astonishing guitar-playing has sparked a phenomenal buzz.” - Toronto Blue Society Look for Matt Andersen at the 24th Annual ROOTS&BLUES Festival performing both a side stage show with some equally talented roots musicians and of course on our main stage. www. stubbyfingers.ca.

by Leah Blain It’s 11:30 a.m. on a Monday morning and the last few people are leaving after the spin/barre class. A number of ‘thank-yous’ and ‘that was awesome’ comments are directed to Melissa Treleaven.

This is one of 15 classes she leads during the week at Cardio Connection.

For Melissa, helping others lose weight and attain their fitness goals is something

Before

she feels passionately about because she understands what it is like to take the difficult journey.

“I did dancing with Diana Wright from age eight until high school. I started ballet but I became too chubby so I did jazz dancing because you can wear big sloppy t-shirts,” she says laughing.

Melissa (nee Franklin) was born in Vancouver but moved here in 1977 when she was five years old. Her mother’s family had a long history in the area.

“My great grandpa was the mayor, Cyril Thompson, and my grandfather made the Sandy Point campground.

My grandpa was born here but he married a British woman and he ended up a brigadier in the war. He would have tea with the queen in England and spend his summers at Sandy Point.”

Melissa smiles as she recalls the wonderful and carefree days of childhood in Tappen.

“We were always outside, building forts and playing in the treehouse, painting rocks and selling them on the side

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Fit and fabulous of the road. The cowbell would call us back for meal time or when it was time to go in. In the summer we would play outside until 10:00 p.m.”

When Melissa turned 21 her English grandparents sent her $400. She used it for a gym membership because the Canadian Franklins were ‘the chubby ones of the family.’

Melissa went to the gym and started to play squash but she didn’t stay very active and was always about 20 lbs overweight.

She did some travelling and went to the University of Victoria on a fine arts scholarship.

“After a year I realized it was not for me. I came back to Salmon Arm and worked for Patrick Allwood at Salmon Arm Stationary and then I travelled again. I went to England as a nanny with four of my girlfriends. It was great. On the weekends we would travel and find neat little places.”

Eventually she decided to go back to school, this time taking her early childhood education. What started out

as a 10-month diploma turned into three years of education.

She loved it. Then her life took another turn.

“I met my husband (Jamie) at our 10 year grad reunion.

We went to school together but we were in different circles.

We got married a year and a week later.”

After

They moved back to Salmon Arm where Melissa opened her Playcare Daycare on Okanagan. It worked with her lifestyle that soon included Lily and Finn.

“I gained weight after Lily was born. I wasn’t active and I didn’t eat properly. I was working from 7:30 a.m. to 5:50 p.m. I had Finn in 2006 and after I got up to 194 lbs, I felt awful; I was lethargic, not confident.

I didn’t feel beautiful. I remember someone asking me what I did for exercise. I said, ‘I just had a baby,’ then I looked at my son who was basically 3 years old and I thought, ‘I can’t use that excuse anymore.’”

Her road to fitness began with a present. Her husband bought her one of the Beach Body fitness programs.

Melissa was

annoyed at first that he bought it for her but she started getting up at 5:00 a.m., before everyone else was up, and she was doing the exercise and following the eating plan.

“I lost 20 lbs in about a year. That allowed me to feel more confident.”

She was confident enough to join a gym and take some fitness classes.

“I started doing spin (stationary cycling classes) and it was the biggest transformation of my life. I enjoyed it, it was fun and upbeat. The instructor, Char, was an amazing mentor and it morphed into me teaching.”

When Melissa’s dad, Michael, died two years ago, it made her re-evaluate her own life.

“My life was good but I was complacent and I wanted to be like him and live life to the fullest.”

Her passion had become helping people with their fitness goals and she wanted to have her own fitness gym. It didn’t happen all at once, there were obstacles, but eventually she got it going. As it has been almost a year, she has seen others go through the same kind of transformation. She gets a little teary as she recalls some of the stories.

“I’ve seen people come in tears, they’re unhappy with themselves physically.

They do a few classes and they find themselves again.”

Classes might not be for everyone, she says. The important thing is that people just do something.

“It’s a journey, not a quick fix. Exercise doesn’t have to be sweating on a spin bike, it could be taking a walk. It’s about finding the right fit.

When it’s your passion, it’s easy to do.

Just get moving, don’t be sedentary.

Any movement is better than no movement.”

Mobile homes, homemade buns, and eggs

Solutions&Substitutions

By Reena Nerbas Dear Reena, Have you any suggestions on how to prevent mildew from growing in closed mobile homes in Texas while we Snowbirds are back in Canada? Ours is closed up for 9 months every year. But very many had the same problem as it was so wet down here this year. The one logical idea I’ve heard is cat litter, but I do wonder where that liquid would go. Thanks, Kathleen Dear Kathleen, Cat litter is effective for absorbing small quantities of moisture; however, for wet climates this step is too small. Have you considered purchasing a thick polyethylene ground sheet to prevent moisture from rising? Also, check to make sure that all cracks in the walls, floor and ceiling light fixtures are sealed. Is the insulation under the mobile

home energy efficient? Some recommend leaving the rooftop vents open and installing specialized vent covers to allow air flow and prevent moisture from becoming trapped.

Dear Reena, I love to make homemade buns and they usually turn out light and fluffy, but unfortunately some are big and some are small. Is there a trick to baking evenly-shaped homemade buns? Thanks, Frankie Dear Frankie, Ensure that every bun uses equal amounts of dough by weighing each prebaked bun on a kitchen scale. The typical size for a dinner roll is 2 ounces per roll. Use the same rolling technique for every bun.

Readers Share Re: Deep Frying Turkey Dear Reena, Saw your recent response about deep frying a turkey. I

thought it was important to note the importance of following all safety precautions when deep frying a turkey. And YES, it is totally worth the effort! Darryl Re: Color Faded Sil Granite Sink Dear Reena, I just read your recent column referring to the article on the black Sil granite sink. I, too, have one which is about 8 or 9 years old and have had this continuous problem.

I have always blamed it on our alkaline water in the rural area that we live in. I’ve had much contact with the company and they provided many solutions over the years, none of which solved the problem, but the best one was what you suggested to your reader about using cooking oil – except that they told me to use mineral oil – a pricey alternative. V. H. Re: Brown and White Eggs Dear Reena, You are wrong on

the colour of eggs. Ear lobe colour determines egg shell colour, not feather colour. There are breeds of hens that have brown feathers and lay a white shelled egg. Thank you, T r e v o r Re: Smart Lid Storage Idea Dear Reena, The easiest way for me to store lids; is to put the lids back on their container. Works for me! Claude Best Tip of the Week Prevent ice dams from forming on roofs. Keep your roof as cold as the eaves forcing cold attic air to circulate evenly; by running one or two fans in your attic. This technique only works in attics that let cold air in at the gable, eaves or roof ridge.

Making room for feminine values in the business world Many female entrepreneurs are a huge source of inspiration for the next generation and do not believe in grounding their business models on the way men conduct business but instead promote their own values.

For many years business women had to sublimate their personalities and strive to think like men in order to be accepted in the business world. Nowadays, however, they are able to follow their own creative drive and be successful without having to betray their own values. This can be attributed to the efforts of past generations of successful female entrepreneurs.

But what is meant exactly by “feminine” ways of doing business? A good example is networking and communicating. Indeed, in this era of globalization centered on knowledge and communications,

business can no longer be conducted as it used to be. Networking is vital in order to meet the new challenges facing entrepreneurs, both men and women.

Women do not have the same way of exercising their power either. Unlike the pyramid type of hierarchy so representative of masculine values, women wield their power less authoritatively and give fewer orders, preferring to implement their power in a more indirect manner. In this way, when a conflict situation arises, many women will try to bring the parties closer together in order to find a win-win solution.

Let’s celebrate the ways that today’s women do business, as well as the positive results their style has on the economy and society as a whole.

Tips for female entrepreneurs Starting a business is no small task. But as the 21st century progresses, more and more female entrepreneurs are embracing the challenge of starting their own businesses.

The following are a few tips for women looking to start their own business.

• Seek out a mentor. Many female entrepreneurs have blazed the trail you are about to embark on, and such women can prove an invaluable resource as you begin your journey. Find a female business owner you can connect with and ask her for any advice she can offer. She might not be able to help you with any specifics regarding your business, but she can very well share stories of what you can expect as a woman setting out to start her own business.

•Have an airtight business plan. As unjust as it is, a stigma about women in the workplace still exists in the minds of some professionals. This means women must be especially diligent and detailed when creating their business plan. One helpful hint is to act as if you are pitching yourself. Look at your business plan and ask if you would invest in yourself. Ask yourself the questions you would ask a fellow entrepreneur if he or she approached you with the same business plan you just developed. There’s no harm to be done by using every resource at your disposal,

Toni Walton Toni became a Norwex Sales Consultant in 2014 and loves to share the many benefits of using Norwex products.

For those of you unfamiliar with Norwex, many of our products contain an antibacterial agent that is designed to inhibit bacterial odour, mould and mildew by just using water to clean. Our microfiber has the ability to remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface when following the proper care and use instructions.

With so many people out there with allergies and skin sensitivities, switching to Norwex is not only a great solution, but by using Norwex you will not only eliminate chemicals, you will save time and money while cleaning your home.

As a Norwex consultant, Toni takes direct orders, does home parties and is always looking for new consultants to join her team who are passionate about reducing chemicals one home at a time.

especially your own business savvy and experience.

•Don’t expect to finance the business entirely on your own. Unless your business is going to be especially small, you’re going to need capital to start your business. If you think you can finance the business on your own, you might want to reconsider. A business loan or investors can help you plan for the unexpected.

If you attempt to go it alone, open your business and then find you need a business loan, the lending institution might find your brand has already been damaged and is less likely to succeed. That can make it harder to secure a business loan. Though it’s possible to finance your business entirely out of your own pocket, it never hurts to partner up with a bank or a handful of investors.

• Rely on your support system. Many women with business experience might feel they need to prove something to themselves when starting their own business and need to do so entirely on their own. While that’s great motivation, underestimating the value of your support system, including your spouse, children and even your mentor, is a mistake. Rely on these people who all want you to succeed, and turn their support into extra motivation.

Spring fever

COURTESY OF OKANAGAN RAWSOME

by Afke Zonderland

the action of lemon oil seems to be indirect by increasing the circulation.

Especially when used in conjunction with Lavender and peppermint.

Eucalyptus: The one heck of a strong smelling oil! Dab the oil on the temples for headaches, or inhale the steam from your diffuser. Chamomile: a very soothing oil that is mild enough to use for babies mixed with a carrier oil. It relieves itching from allergic reaction as well as mosquito bites. You can put a few drops of all of the above in the carrier oil of your choice and rub these on your temples, inside wrists or the soles of your feet. Why not add a drop of eucalyptus to your peppermint tea? Don’t have an infuser? Place drops of oil in a bowl with hot water and inhale the steam while you cover head and bowl with a towel. Add onion skins for good (and cheap) measure. Why not get an early start on nature and make these practices a part of your routine? Dilute these oils in water and carry a glass or metal spritz bottle in your purse. Be aware • 1 cup of quality dark chocolate that oils are sensitive to light and heat.

• ½ tsp maca powder You will have to do research on dif• 5 drops of mint essential oil ferent brands. Claims of 100% purity • 5 drops of lavender essential oil • Rock salt and/or a pinch of cayenne are used willy nilly. Pricing is all over the map. I suggest that you do a side Melt the chocolate in a bowl over hot water. Add the essential oils and stir. Pour choc- by side comparison of one oil that you olate in the form of your choice or simply on a non stick surface. I use a teflex sheet want to have in your home and let from the dehydrator and spread the chocolate evenly by tilting the teflex. Thinner is your nose decide. A great resource better! I sprinkle a little Himalayan rock salt on the surface and give it a dusting with data base can be found at http://drecayenne! Be certain that you use food grade essential oils! ricz.com/essential-oils/

Sunny days and rapidly greening fields puts us, and all of nature in hyper activity after 4 months of semi- hibernation. The garden shed is organized and tomato plants in little seed pots are doing their best to get a head start in the window sill.

I am doing my best to coax the seedlings from my sprouted dehydrated tomato slice from last year’s crop towards garden strength and fruiting. Flowers and trees are budding out and eagerly shed their fertile pollen to receptors far and wide. This natural side effect of Spring is not so welcome for people that are sensitive to airborne allergens. Relief can be found with anti-histamine tablets, the EpiPen or steroid inhalers. Life savers to be sure and truly the best that medicine offers. However, the list of side effects with long term and frequent use especial-

ly for children is cause for concern. In recent years much research has been done on the effectiveness of essential oils for the control of hay fever, asthma and eczema due to airborne and food allergies. Many EO’s are anti-inflammatory and can be inhaled safely on a daily basis during the blossom season. The EO’s that are mentioned as beneficial to alleviate allergy symptoms are: Lavender, Peppermint, Lemon, Eucalyptus and Chamomile. The short story on the allergy support team; Lavender: anti-inflammatory, analgesic, relaxant. Peppermint: menthol, the main volatile oil in peppermint, loosens up the thick mucus accumulation in the sinuses and the airway, making it easy to cough up phlegm. It effectively clears up the respiratory tract, preventing secondary infections. Lemon:

“Truth” and “Guantanamo’s Child” The story of The Killian Documents controversy (a.k.a. “Rathergate”); In the days leading up to the 2004 Presidential election, CBS News head Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett) and veteran newscaster Dan Rather (Robert Redford) choose to air a segment on 60 minutes suggesting that President George W. Bush avoided being drafted to Vietnam due to his father’s political influence. The elation of a job well done soon plunges into accusations of forgery and political agenda in an investigation that ultimately cost Mapes and Rather their jobs and reputations. Truth shows at 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 26 at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

From the age of 15, Omar Khadr was held at Guantanamo Bay prison. Branded as a terrorist and convicted as a murderer, the now 28 year old is finally able to speak. This is a compelling documentary we are proud to call Canadian.

Guantanamo’s Child shows at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 30 at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

5th Annual Enderby in Motion

By Patricia Cech The Annual Run/Walk/Wheel Event was kicked off 5 yrs ago in honour of Rick Hansen and his 25th Anniversary Relay Event that traced it’s original route in Canada; which took in our City of Enderby, I was lucky enough to run a leg of the Relay as it worked it’s way through Enderby, met some of Rick Hansen’s Team, a great memory.

We’ve been keeping our event alive and lots have come out each year and supported this event, for which we are very thankful, it’s good to keep something like this going and support health & fitness in the community, for our youth to see.

This event is all about getting schools involved and families; it is so good to see everyone getting out and getting active.

This year’s event is on Saturday, April 9th, 2016.

It kicks off at 9:00 am, start and finish at the Enderby Curling Arena; we’ve relaxed the start time from previous years, one of the suggestions from last year, so everyone doesn’t have to get up so early and if you’re coming from surrounding areas, have a little more time to get here. Swag, goodies, and door prizes. Grand prize is 2 adult weekend passes for 2016 Roots & Blues Festival.

Registration forms and pledge sheets can be picked up, paid for, and dropped off at the Bank of Montreal, Enderby.

For more info, please call Patricia at 250-8385640 or 250-550-8288.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Music Festival fosters local talent

By Sue Wolff Shuswap Music Festival Society The Shuswap Music Festival opens its 16th year of showcasing local and young musicians on April 18. Over the years, many promising participants have pursued successful careers in music. Others have become members of choirs and community bands.

It’s this culture of music in the Shuswap that the Festival strives to nurture.

Between April 18 and 29, professional and renowned musicians brought to Salmon Arm, will adjudicate performances in voice, choir, band, piano, and strings. Genres range from classical to jazz and musicians range in age from 5 to 85!

Musical talent for this regional festival is drawn from Chase to Revelstoke and from as far south as Kelowna.

The Festival is both a celebration of talent and a competitive event with awards and scholarships presented to outstanding candidates.

Adjudicators at last year’s Festival selected several musicians and two adult choirs to compete at the 2015 B.C. Performing Arts Festival. The Shuswap Music Festival candidates placed as either winners or runner-up.

Two local musicians, pianists Aria

and Jaeden Izik-Dzurko, won their categories and proceeded to the national competition.

The adjudicated sessions are a wonderful learning experience that the public is welcome to attend.

Entertaining evening sessions of special interest include the Choirs on Tuesday, April 19 and Piano Ensembles on Wednesday, April 20.

These sessions start at 6:00 p.m. at the First United Church. Don’t miss the Community Bands session on Thursday, April 21 starting at 7:00 p.m. at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort, Salmon Arm. The two-week long festival culminates with a Gala Concert featuring the Best of the Festival on Friday, April 29, 7:00 p.m. at the First United Church in Salmon Arm. Admission is $10 per person or $20 per family.

Information about the Festival and schedules for the many adjudicated sessions are available online at www.

ShuswapFestival.com.

The Rotary Clubs of Salmon Arm and the Shuswap, corporate sponsors and private donors, as well as a cadre of community volunteers, make the Festival possible. Join us as we celebrate 16 years of music in the Shuswap.

Straight from the horse’s mouth Katy - you bought a what!

Dream House Inc. is a real estate company where all of your dreams can come true. Just ask Katy Bittlemeyer the owner. Katy’s dad Mel and her boyfriend Jeff try their best to support Katy in her business dealings, even though they don’t always agree with her questionable style. With her sharp wit and savvy marketing business sense, somehow she can make the best out of any unique “opportunity”. As it happens, some “opportunities” are a lot bigger than others. Katy finds this out when she purchases the Lydecker estate, along with “…any and all items located on the acreage”.

Katy’s staff do their best to juggle the daily operations of the business.

This proves a challenge as the sneaky and conniving psychiatrist neighbor Clement Caligance is looking for a way to get Katy evicted. He may have just found it. And just exactly why is that lady from the Better Business Bureau here? And who is that “character” in the fedora?

“Straight from the Horse’s Mouth” is a knee-slapping farce written by Pat Cook and published by Pioneer Drama Services, Inc. The Grindrod Players are happy to announce a performance of this comedic adventure at the A.L. Fortune High School in Enderby on April 7, 8, and 9th at 7:00 p.m. and a matinee on April 10 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets will be sold at the door. Adults are $8.00, seniors and students $12 and under are $7.

ORL Branches closed over Easter Holiday All branches of the Okanagan Regional Library will be closed from Good Friday, March 25 through Easter Monday, March 28.

Branches will close during their normal operating hours proceeding Good Friday, and will resume operation on Tuesday, March 29 or their normal hours thereafter.

During the closure, all book bins will be locked and items are not

due over the closure period. Any items damaged or missing as a result of being left outside of branches will be the customer’s responsibility.

The ORL website and all digital collections will still be available during the closure. www.orl.ca

Throw a Saddle on a Star - A Pioneer’s Tale The Enderby & District Arts Council presents Throw a Saddle on a Star, Friday, April 8 at 7:00 pm at the Enderby Drill Hall (Hwy. 97A South).

Author Julia Griswold Armstrong is hosting a slide show based on her late mother June Griswold’s photo archives. It is a pioneer’s tale shaped by the depression era and life as a hobo. It also reflects the joys of a pioneer family working together to create a rewarding life of self sufficiency. It is set during the 1960’s near Kaslo, BC.

Julia Griswold Armstrong uses many of her pioneer skills in her current life. She lives in a log house that she and her late husband built. She is a member of the Wood Workers Guild and the Spinners and Weavers and enjoys creating works of fine art and utility.

Julia builds and restores musical instruments and has 3 harp CD’s released. She has worked overseas with Builders Without Borders in Turkey in 2000 and Sri Lanka in 2006, teaching woodworking and carpentry to women. Now add writer to

Julia’s many accomplishments!

Copies of Throw a Saddle on a Star will be available for sale following the presentation. Be prepared for an inspiring evening April 8 about a way of life fast disappearing.

Admission is by donation.

Refreshments will be served.

The Strike Zone

bottom 15 feet, to hit a trolled fly or lure. Other times they will stop feeding due to weather, fishing pressure, water temperature, and time of day. So, finding the “strike zone” will have you catch more fish. A fish’s feeding activity is usually in early morning and late in the afternoon. In midday they tend to shy away from exposing themselves.

There are a number of factors that create the strike zone, and with modem technology; fish finders, sonar, and GPS, anglers are spending more time targeting where the fish hang out or are feeding, than trolling for hours at a time. Several days of hot humid weather increases the

It won’t be long until anglers get out on the water to fish our local lakes. As well, salmon fry will be migrating down the Shuswap, Eagle, and Adams rivers, in April and May to rear in both Mara and Shuswap lakes for a year, before leaving on their arduous journey to the ocean.

This is the time that many anglers, including wildlife, such as mergansers course fish/rainbows, target them in a feeding frenzy, off the mouth, and along the shorelines of the two big lakes. Generally speaking, the majority of anglers aren’t even aware of the most important principle of fishing, namely, the fishing the strike zone. You see, fish do have good eyesight, but will only swim so far to attack a lure. When conditions are ideal they will zip across a bar or shoal, or shoot straight off the

strike zone, wind when it lightly ruffles the water surface, fish feel more comfortable and secure, moving shallower to feed, creating a larger strike zone. Flat calm conditions however, tend to put the fish on guard, especially when the

water is very clear. But fish in clear water can see great distances and have extensive strike zones for their prey. For fish in murky or stained water, their chances of attacking prey diminishes. Fishing pressure; It’s a known fact that fish feel vibrations, noise, and disturbances

along their lateral lines of sight, and popular lakes, rivers, heavily developed waterbodies, and the strike zones will diminish. Understanding all these factors, including selecting the right lure for conditions, will put more fish in your boat. Once you have found a strike zone, or say, a good spot where fish are jumping and/or feeding, you’ll probably catch more fish by casting or trolling large artificial lures or bucktails, as opposed to small jigs or spoons, but when the strike zone shrinks due to all the above, that small jig, spoon fly is the ticket. Here are some suggestions that seem to be tried and true from this ‘ol mans years of muckin’ around in boats flickin’ flies and lures for salmon, trout, char, and kokanee.

Strike zone strategies: Conditions; Clear water; techniques; Use topwater lure spinners or small bucktails.

Light fishing pressure: Use larger lures, plugs spoons apex. Heavy fishing pressure; Fish off hours (mid-week, or early/late in the day).

Warming periods in Spring; For fry movement, use small apex/silver/ blue fox/Mepps/orange/silver/blue grey bucktail/egg & eye silver flys/ tiny Gibbs silver brass Glendon Stewart spoons/small Dick Knight spoons. Cold periods in spring similar to what we have at present; Most of the above lures, but longer light lines and stealthy approaches to where big fish are rolling or feeding on fry. Also once you’ve found the strike zone, troll a line on top with a small bucktail or small attractor

Trolling speed is also important, as larger rainbow trout/ lakers, have a tendency to charge or quickly chase after their prey, triggering the feeding instinct. 2.5 mph, or having the lure/apex etc, really dance along will draw a trout in. In any case, being attentive and observing trout activity, and finding the strike zone can be rewarding while on the water. More importantly, is enjoying the day with a fishin’ buddy, or the family while fishing.

Here and There in the Shuswap It’s just about time, that is, to renew your fishing license. There is a conservation surcharge for Shuswap rainbow/char, with the cost going toward the Habitat conservation trust fund, and Freshwater fisheries society, putting more trout, kokanee, and brook trout in our lakes for your angling pleasure. Leave the smart phone at home! Fred, an ardent angler, was headed to his favourite fishing spot when he noticed a lady in a brand new Cadillac in the left lane, with her face up to her rear view, putting on her eyeliner. He reached for the smokes on the seat, knocked the Timmy’s donut out of his other hand, and in the confusion trying to straighten out the truck using his knees, knocked the cell phone from his ear, which fell into the steaming hot coffee between his legs; splashed and burned Big Jim and the Twins, ruined the cell phone, soaked his jeans, and disconnected an important call to Steve, who was already at the lake! Damn women drivers!
