The dog with the neckerchief
Marlene Kemitzas saw the ad in the paper four years ago. A woman had a litter of nine yellow labs and by the time Marlene called there were only two left. “I got one and brought him home. Half an hour later she phoned and said, ‘Marlene, I gave you the wrong dog; that one’s been asked for.” She went back and got the last pick of the litter. “My grandson, Dominic, named him. He said, ‘We have to call him Simba.’ I tried so many names but he just kept calling him Simba.” Dogs have their individual gifts, explains Marlene, and Simba has an innate sense of people’s needs and he likes to help. He is perfect for his job as a St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog. Every Monday Simba goes ‘to work’ with Marlene. He jumps up on the bench to be groomed and patiently waits as Marlene ties on his St. John Ambulance neckerchief and then they head to Bastion Place. “I go in there and people’s faces light up. A lot of residents don’t have company and most of these people have had pets and a lot are from farms.” Marlene and Simba have a routine; they start on the right and go down the hall and come back the other side. “One day I went in and Simba started pulling to the other side. I said, ‘Simba, come.’ I can’t allow him to do what he wants.” He kept pulling to another direction but Marlene was firm and kept to the routine. When they finally started down the other side Marlene was ready to go into one resident’s room who always looked for-
ward to Simba’s visit. Instead of going in, Simba laid down at the door. A nurse, seeing they were at that room, came to tell Marlene that the man had passed away. “Simba knew the man was gone. It was so sad. He mourned for that man who was gone. We went home early that day.”
They work as a team and Simba often lets Marlene know if a resident needs more or less time with him. If he senses a resident is agitated by his presence, he’ll back away. Marlene has many stories of Simba calming seniors and children. At home, Simba also helps Marlene, who suffers from fibromyalgia. She loves to bike but can’t ride a ride a two-wheeler anymore. “I got a three-wheel bike for adults. When I get tired, he pulls.” Riding a bike around the neighbourhood pulled by backup dog power is a far

cry from the way she used to enjoy the outdoors. “I grew up in Yellowknife. You could roam forever on a Ski-Doo; I would go for miles.” Coming from a family of 10 plus an adopted sister along with foster brothers and sisters, Marlene grew up living the adage “It takes a village to raise a child.” At the age of 14, having helped raise the younger kids and foster children, she felt very much an adult and wanted to see more of the country. “I hitchhiked around BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Yukon. It wasn’t a big deal. I hitchhiked to Kamloops and I picked up a cousin. We got picked up in the Yukon by the police; it was December.” After some phone calls to ensure the girls weren’t in any trouble, the police were accommodating and friendly. “They let us stay in the jail overnight–with the door open–and fed us,” says Marlene, laughing. Back in Yellowknife, she met her future husband, Andy. “He was looking for work, traveling around, and someone said there was lots of work in Yellowknife. He was into construction; he is a furniture maker by trade. He opened his own business and built homes in Yellowknife and Fort Ray. He was originally from Cyprus. We got married there. I just walked into an office and signed a paper–I refused a big Greek wedding.”
Marlene and Andy have three children: Tony, Soula, and Bev. During this time Andy had bought property in Salmon Arm [Sandy Acres Berry Farm] and they moved here in 1986 and planted cherry trees. They also bought a little property in Canoe across from North Canoe Elementary. “We cleared the land and put up a little fruit stand, then we ran it as an ice cream parlour, and a restaurant pizza place.” [The location wasn’t really commercially viable so they eventually had the land re-zoned back to residential.] When the cherry trees were ready about 1996 they had 100 people working: picking, sorting, and packing the cherries for oversea customers. Over the years it became harder and harder to find enough workers so they downsized and put in all kinds of berries instead. Farming wasn’t what Andy had originally come to Canada to do, but it wasn’t very different from the life he knew in Cyprus, explains Marlene. “His family did sustainable living, and they lived off what they had in little gardens in the mountains. They ate only what they grew, they never shopped or went to supermarkets. Maybe for a treat they would buy tea, flour and sugar. His father lived to be 104, and his mother, 97.” As much as the sunny Shuswap is now her home, Marlene still misses the cold climate of the north and the wide expanse of land covered in ice. But now her life is blessed with nine grandchildren, and the happiness she receives from seniors and children when their faces light up upon seeing Simba.

Seeking local heroes
Contributed by the Sorrento & Area Community Health Centre The Sorrento & Area Community Health Centre is planning a 2015 fundraising calendar. This calendar will feature heroes in our area. These local heroes will, in the calendar pictures, have been uniquely postured into the beautiful Shuswap landscape. We are looking for input from all of the communities of the Shuswap to provide the answer to the following question, “who are the local heroes in our communities?” Please help find them! What’s the criteria for selection? These local heroes will be: those who see a need in the community
and volunteer their services, without expecting compensation or laudation; those who see a need and offer payment to fix it, without expecting remuneration; those who have stepped into danger without concern for their own safety to assist a fellow human being in trouble; or if you can think of another good reason that we haven’t specified, tell us about it! Send us their names and tell us why you feel they are local heroes. Include contact information for them (as well as your own contact information) and send it to the following email address: sorrentohealth@gmail.com.

Kitchen spices that help digestion
Kitchen spices have long been used as an aid for proper digestion and in treatment of minor digestive problems over and above adding flavours to foods. Spices make hardto-digest protein-rich foods like beans, lentils and meat more easy to digest. In parts of the world where a vegetarian diet is more common, the use of spices is a given. Vegetarians depend on beans and lentils, which are hard to digest for their daily protein and nutritional needs. It has been an age-old tradition in countries like India and other Asian countries to use spices like ginger, garlic, mint, clove, asafetida, cinnamon, cumin seeds and fennel seeds in cooking. These spices, besides adding flavour, help in digestion and reducing flatulence caused by protein rich foods. Garlic that is added in cooking is known in folk medicine as an anti-flatulent spice. Moreover, it has other great health benefits. Adding fresh ginger to food livens it up and makes it more digestible. Ginger also helps fight nausea. A hot drink of ginger tea made from powdered or fresh ginger is a very good carminative and reduces discomfort caused by upset stomach. Ginger tea should be sipped slowly and taken after meals. Chewing fresh ginger
during and after meals is also an option for some. Thin buttermilk with cumin powder and black pepper is a simple way of relieving upset stomach and flatulence. (A quarter-teaspoon of cumin powder and black pepper powder is added to a glass of buttermilk.) Cinnamon stimulates digestive juices and helps prevent flatulence. Cinnamon can be added to meals while cooking or baking. Another option is to take as tea, preferably after meals. An infusion prepared by boiling a tablespoon of fennel seeds in 100ml of water for 45 minutes and then taken twice a day after meals gives good results as well. Chewing fresh mint leaves or taking it as tea after meals relieves possible discomfort after meals and also reduces bloating. Other foods that help with minor indigestion and gas problems include aniseed, caraway seeds and dill. Some of these spices are available in our local grocery stores and available at supermarkets in the Asian section. Eating a balanced spicy meal is a win-win situation. You enjoy the food, and also digest it better. Readers with enquiries may contact Kosha Vaidya via email at koshahealing@gmail.com.

Welcomes Dr. Brian Luco to our team
Rotary health forum to be held at Salmar The Rotary Club of Salmon will be hosting a Health Information Forum on Thursday evening, April 24th at the Salmar Classic Theatre from 6:00 to 9:30 p.m. The forum will be free to the public and will deal with health concerns for young and middle-age adults. The evening is divided into two parts: from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. there will be an interactive health display in the foyer of the theatre. This will be followed at 7:30 p.m. by three keynote speakers, who each will speak about their area of specialty followed by a question period. The three medical specialists, Drs. Darren Lorenz, Scott McKee and Chris Main, will discuss high blood pressure and heart disease, diabetes, and cancers such as prostate, colon, breast, and testicular cancer and how to recognize the early symptoms that may lead to the detection of these diseases. Organizers of the event say that the presentations will be in easy to understand language and perhaps with a sense of humor but the
emphasis will be on the importance of self examination for both men and women and the importance of regular medical check-ups. There is no age restrictions for attending but the topic of discussion may best be suitable for adults. Local dentists will be represented together with local pharmacists to answer your questions within their field of expertise during the interactive health display from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.. Other health-related displays will be featured and information packages will be distributed that will include printed material from the Canadian Cancer Society, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadian Diabetes, the BC Lung Association and other health related organization. The intent of the Health Information Forum is to stress the importance of self examination, for both men and women, and the early detection of symptoms that otherwise could lead to unnecessary and unwanted health problems. The Health Information Forum is geared towards young and middle
aged adults who may sometimes believe they are invincible. This is the second time that the Rotary Club of Salmon Arm is presenting a health information forum. In 2001 Rotary presented a very successful “Men’s Health Night” in both Salmon Arm and Vernon. Although the evening was geared towards men, about an equal number of women attended as well. This time it will be for both men and women. The need for this type of information has become apparent over the past few years. Both men and women are urged to seek medical help as soon as possible when experiencing problems. In particular problems with breast, colon, prostrate and testicular cancer and heart disease because their early signs are often ignored. The Classic Theatre has a capacity of 283 seats. Organizers believe the place will be full. Although the forum is free, those attending may make a donation to help defray the cost of the event.

JACK STEFANYK WROTE FROM UKRAINE: “Our team has had an awesome time in the village of Nickoli Polyah. We are getting a 200-cow dairy barn ready so that orphan kids can learn how to milk using modern methods. “I have talked with many of the locals about the situation here in Ukraine. Life continues to be normal for the most part. However, there are differences; You see more Ukrainian flags, even hanging out of police car windows. When we were stopped by the police, they discovered we were Canadians... they said with a smile, ‘Ah, Canada, you are for Ukraine.’ But the folks here are also cautious about what the future holds for their country. One of the results of the situation, which is very sad, is that friends/relatives who are on “opposite” sides of the political spectrum have become suspicious of each other. There is a massive propaganda campaign going on. For example, in Russia there was news that all the Russian-speaking people in Ukraine were being persecuted. Many in Russia phoned their contacts in Ukraine, saying: ‘Come to Russia and stay with us so you won’t be punished or persecuted.’ We have seen none of this at all. DID YOU FORGET TO RESERVE A PLACE? The fundraising banquet for Ukraine is tomorrow, April 5 at The Gathering Place, 350 30 St. NE. If you forgot to call Broadview Church before April 3 to make a reservation, I suggest you go anyway, about 5 p.m. They always have extra perogies and cabbage rolls. Tell them I sent you. The 6 p.m. meal is by donation. Please be generous. KIDS CAN GET A LOAN FOR GROWING A PIG Community Futures Shuswap has expanded its 4-H loan program to assist youth involved in regional 4-H Swine Clubs. Young farmers can access loans of up to $400 to purchase and grow a weaner pig to a market-ready age. The short-term loan is repaid without interest when the pig has reached maturity and is sold at the annual 4-H Stock Show and Sale. For more information on this program contact Community Futures Shuswap 250-803-0156 or visit www.futureshuswap.com ENTREPRENEURIAL CAMP FOR KIDS Community Futures Shuswap has announced that the region’s first ever Biz Kids’ program will be offered in Salmon Arm and Sicamous. The entrepreneurial camp will support up to 20 youth aged 10-16 years to develop and launch a small business in the Shuswap region this summer. Participants will be provided $50 of seed money to get their business up and running. Applications for the
program are due by April 18, 2014: www.futureshuswap. com/workshops.php 250-803-0156 ext. 107. COST OF A STAMP WAS INCREASED ON MARCH 31 The cost of mailing a first-class letter within Canada went up from 63 to 85 cents on Monday. But the 85-cent rate is only available if stamps are purchased in a pack. If you want to buy just one stamp, it will cost $1 plus GST. WILLS ACT CHANGED ON MARCH 31, 2014 Many changes have been implemented in BC to the way a last will and testament is interpreted. The changes will not invalidate a will written before the Act passed, but they may change how that will is interpreted. Definition of spouse includes anyone in a marriage-like relationship for at least two years. Marriage no longer revokes a will. Gifts to children during the will-maker’s lifetime are no longer treated as advances out of the estate. If your spouse dies without a will, you cannot sell the spousal home for 180 days from his or her death. This will allow you time to decide if you wish to purchase it. Self-help will kits are legal in BC. Self-Counsel Press has been selling self-help wills books and kits (prepared by lawyers!) for more than 40 years. www.self-counsel.com HEAVY RAINSTORM CAUSED EAGLE BAY MUDSLIDE On Saturday afternoon, March 29, a storm brought a huge downpour to the South Shuswap. It hit Sorrento about 1 p.m. and travelled along the lake, causing a mudslide to come down onto Eagle Bay Road near Wild Rose Bay just before 6 p.m. No structures or people were in its path, but trees and mud blocked the road, and power lines were taken out. The road was opened a few hours later and power was restored just before midnight. NETWORKING GROUP FOR 20-40s FILLED RESTAURANT Over 40 people packed the Shuswap Pie Company on Alexander St. on March 25. Most were between the ages of 20 and 40, and about half were men and half were women. The event featured two speakers, and opportunities to get to know one another. I was the only one with grey hair, although one woman said she colours hers. Speakers were Mark Kohlen on bitcoins, the new digital currency; and Peter North, the new artistic director of the Roots & Blues Festival. The next networking night will be on Tuesday, April 8 at 6:30 p.m. at Bradbury’s Restaurant on Hudson Avenue. Admission is a $2 donation. To learn who the speakers will be, go to The New Shuswap Network on Facebook or call Chad Eliason at 250-804-9874.
THE SEWING BASKET HAS A NEW OWNER Janet Rolin sold the Sewing Basket to Carol VanOmmen. Janet started it in 1981, and it’s been in the same location across from the art gallery for 31 years. At first she sold fashion fabrics, crafts and sewing machines, and later she went into quilting. She made over 100 patterns and kits, and will continue giving her popular quilting classes for Carol, but first she plans to travel a bit. She looks forward to spending more time visiting with her quilting friends. Carol VanOmmen owned and operated Apple Creek General Mercantile in Piccadilly for 15 years, then she owned Jane’s Place restaurant for three and a half years. She sold it a year ago. She’s likes to quilt and scrapbook, and took some of Janet’s classes. When it was time for her to have a third business, she asked Janet if she was interested in selling the Sewing Basket to her and Janet said sure. It happened very quickly. Carol plans on expanding into rubber-stamping and scrapbooking supplies in the near future. SCOOTER STORE OPENS IN CENTENOKA Mark Gaudreault has expanded his scooter business on Highway 97B by adding a second location in Salmon Arm, in the former Findlay’s Vacuums in Centenoka. T-Cycle Mobility was opened on March 3. Mark is assisted by his wife Mili. The store has a wide range of new, used and consignment wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs and scooters. Bring your old scooter and trade it for a new one. They can supply any size new batteries for scooters. The store stocks many bathroom and home aid items for handicapped individuals. www.t-cycle.ca PEDRO GONZALES FRUIT STAND NOW OPEN After a fire destroyed Pedro Gonzales last fall, a new fruit store was designed and built. It opened on April 1 and its hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week. It will take a while to get stocked. The kitchen is smaller but more efficient, and the ice-cream serving area has been expanded to include many toppings. Watch for a grand opening. GREAT CHANGES AT HOME BUILDING SUPPLIES For several months, the staff at Home Building Centre has been working at, and putting up with renovations of the floor area and displays. Now that it is nearly finished, the staff knows where most of the items are displayed and no longer has to wander up and down the aisles looking for them. The front display area is wide open and more efficient. The staff has hair, although many times some of them felt like tearing it out. sallys1@telus.net • 832-4831 The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of Sally Scales and do not necessarily represent those of Lakeshore News and its staff.

Salmon Arm certainly has its traffic challenges. According to a survey, one of the most dangerous intersections is at 30 St. NE and the Trans Canada Highway. It wasn’t all that long ago that this intersection was redone, but I have to wonder how the plans were ever approved. Was the attitude, “damn the torpedoes; full speed ahead?” One would hope that planning decisions
Development at any cost?
would result in safer, more efficient roadways. In my opinion, the condominium project currently under construction at 3rd St. and 4th Ave S.E. will cause a major bottleneck for vehicles travelling on 4th Avenue. Visitor parking for this 24-unit complex, along with visitor parking for the adjacent condo building as well as parking for mailboxes will result in major traffic congestion. Did no one consider this?
Siting and building guidelines for the City of Salmon Arm aim to “minimize the impact of shadows on nearby residential sites and buildings.” This 5-storey complex will certainly cast shadows on neighbouring houses. I have to ask, “Why have guidelines if you are not prepared to use them?” This site would have been suitable for a duplex, triplex or fourplex with a lot less
demand for off-site parking and, as a result, a lot less traffic congestion. Less profit for the out-of-town developers but a better plan for us citizens. Do we want development at any cost or do we want development that best fits the needs of the most citizens? I think this is an important question to consider before our next municipal election.

Mall Arkey tax tips
Lotteries, camp outs, and wait lists
Vancouver - Student registration for the 2014-2015 school year is currently underway across British Columbia. According to recent reports, families in at least 23 British Columbia communities are being turned away from the popular French immersion program due to a lack of classroom space or because a program does not currently exist. This is denying thousands of BC students the opportunity to learn, use, and benefit from Canada’s two official languages. “I have applied to every French immersion school in Vancouver and have been told the wait list is anywhere from 70-140 kids. This is extremely discouraging. French is our second language and our kids don’t even have the opportunity to learn it in school unless you are the lucky chosen one!”
says Vancouver parent Lanie Fajardo. “In order to try to register our daughter for early French immersion, we had to participate in a very flawed phone-in registration “lottery”... I know of one parent who rigged their phone system at work to do automatic dialing on their behalf with multiple phone lines. We are 192 on the waitlist,” says Surrey parent Erin McCall. Canadian Parents for French BC & Yukon President Patti Holm says that the organization continues to make the case with the BC Ministry of Education to set aside a modest ‘French Immersion Growth Grant’ to help school districts create and/or expand the program where there is strong demand by families. Canadian Parents for French BC & Yukon is a 7,000 mem-
ber strong parent-led organization dedicated to promoting and creating French second language opportunities for all young students. Above: parents line up at the District Education Centre on Okanagan Ave to keep their place in line to register for early French immersion. There were only twelve spots available, causing some concern about a possible waiting list and resulting in parents getting there as early as Sunday night. The building was opened up on Tuesday evening so those waiting could sleep inside. However, on Wednesday morning, at registration time, there were still not enough names to fill up the twelve spots, and two newcomers walked in and registered that morning without having to line up.

Biz Kids applications available
Community Futures Shuswap is delighted to announce that the region’s first-ever Biz Kids program will be offered in Salmon Arm and Sicamous. The entrepreneurial camp will support up to 20 youth aged 10-16 years to develop and launch a small business in the Shuswap region. Leading up to the start of the program, kids are encouraged to come up with innovative and creative business ideas that they are passionate about. Youth will participate in four business development sessions and will benefit from the business expertise of mentors from local businesses as they work to define and oper-
ate their small business venture. In addition to the business and technical support being offered, youth will have access to $50 of non-repayable seed money to help them successfully get their businesses off the ground. “The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in the young people of the Shuswap region; we just need to do a better job of supporting them to achieve success so they can experience all the rewards small business ownership has to offer,” noted Community Futures Shuswap Executive Director Joanne Mason. Mike Porter, British Columbia & Yukon Business Development Manager for the
Canadian Youth Business Foundation (CYBF), commented, “We are thrilled to be partnering on the Biz Kids program with our terrific Community Partner, Community Futures Shuswap, and we look forward to seeing the amazing impact this program will have on young entrepreneurs in the Shuswap region.” Applications for the Biz Kids program are due by April 18, 2014 and are available online at www.futureshuswap. com/workshops or by stopping in at the Community Futures offices at 101-160 Harbourfront Drive. Additional information is available 250803-0156, ext 107.
Are you bored of tax articles? So am I, but the kids haven’t been doing anything crazy and the cat hasn’t got stuck on the roof of the house. Tax articles are all I have to fall back on these days. As you all know, Mall Arkey has long promoted the idea of keeping as much of this hard earned money in your jeans not the governments. For the record, ol’ Mall Arkey believes in the idea of a simplified tax system that has less tax credits and simply a lower rate. Unfortunately, that concept hasn’t gained any traction with our friends out East. So this leaves us with no choice, but to try and find as many ways we can to avoid taxes (legally of course!). So here a handful of new and old tax credits/strategies we want to ensure you are taking advantage of. Children’s fitness tax credit This credit has been around since 2007 and allows you to claim up to $500 in eligible expenses in physical activity programs. The actual credit is 15% of the eligible expenses up to the maximum of $75 ($500 x 15%). Children’s art tax credit This credit has been
Community Calendar Meetings and events that are free of charge will be listed at no charge in Community Calendar. Dances, bingos, and other paid/ for-profit events are required to pay the normal classified rate. Community garage sales, bazaars and craft sales are run for one week at no charge in the classified section; additional weeks are charged the normal classified rate.

around since 2011. Much like the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit, you can claim a tax credit of up to $500 for eligible expenses paid for registering your children in certain artistic or cultural activities. First-time donor’s super credit To encourage taxpayer’s to donate to charities the government created the Firsttime Donor’s Super Credit. The Super Credit is an additional 25% tax credit over what you’d usually get when making a donation; meaning 40% on the first $200 donation and 54% on the portion over $200 to a maximum of $1,000 in donations. The catch is the credit is designed for people who haven’t made donations previously. To qualify, you or your spouse could not have claimed a charitable donation tax credit in previous tax years going back to 2007. Pension splitting Like the Children’s
Fitness Tax Credit, pension income splitting has been around since 2007. Everyone should be aware of it by now, but it is such a good thing we want to ensure everyone eligible is claiming it. For couples that have large differences in taxable income levels between spouses; pension splitting can save a significant amount of tax because you are allowed to split up to 50% of eligible pension income. Remember, splitting the full 50% isn’t necessarily the best option in every case as this could also affect how much you can claim for medical expenses etc. You may have to play around with the numbers to come up with the optimum amount or use tax software that has these features built into it. So there you have it; some free tax advice from Mall Arkey Junior. I would accept a gratuity except I would then have to include that income on my tax return!

Arrested for scooping poop? Parking difficulties
Around the bus stop at Okanagan Village at 800 Okanagan Ave there is a large woodland-style multi-purpose garden. For several years I have been regenerating the area, planting and tending the large flowerbed. This is being done with the knowledge and approval of the Shuswap Housing Society, which owns the property, along with the apartment manager. I am a resident in the complex and all the work I do here is volunteer–I’m not paid. On Thursday, March 27, I was arrested, handcuffed, stuffed into the back of a police car and jailed for four hours. Prior to this incident, my one and only brush with the law was being issued traffic ticket over twenty years ago. My alleged crime: I took my shovel and scooped a small pile of dog feces and placed it in a designated dog toilet area in front of the apartment of the irresponsible dog owner. This dog had been using the garden as a toilet since the snow melted. On the instructions of the manager, I scooped the poop and returned it to the dog’s owner. In retaliation, the dog owner took a shovel and proceeded to vandalize the garden, for the third time in two weeks, causing damage to a large area of spring bulbs, flowers, and bushes. The manager arrived on the scene, saw the vandalism in progress and called the RCMP. I was arrested and charged with “mischief.” At the police station I was warned by the arresting constable that if I continued to garden in that area I
would be arrested again and charged with a second offence. How bizarre! There is a city bylaw, and a rule here that dog owners must keep their dog on a leash and clean up the dog’s excrement. I was *correcting* a wrong, not committing one. This raises some questions: • Since when is scooping up dog feces and/or gardening in public a crime? • Is arresting a 65-year-old retired nurse who was tending a garden a good use of the time, energy, and funds allocated to the RCMP and our courts? • Is it the privilege of the RCMP to prohibit a gardener from tending a flower bed on private property? • Where, when, and how was this constable trained, rendering him incapable of discerning the difference between a harmless law-abiding citizen and a dangerous criminal? I was shocked by how harshly I was treated at the police station. Being arrested, jailed, and having to face a court appearance has been very traumatic and has had a very negative impact on my health and well-being. This experience is so surreal that it feels like a new version of an old Arlo Guthrie song. It goes like this: ‘’I don’t want smelly poop; I just want dog owners to use a scoop. And I don’t want to cry, I just want to grow flowers for people passing by.” What a pickle! I don’t want it. Kalene Bourque, Salmon Arm PS: On Monday, March 31, the charges against me were dropped.
Cat killer in Canoe
My cat died last Friday night of a suspected poisoning. My heart is in a million pieces, and as I’ve talked to the residents of Canoe, I’ve found out that dozens of cats have been either poisoned or shot with a BB gun! This is happening in the lower Canoe Creek Estates and along 50 St. This is very scary; this person is starting with animals, and who knows what he’ll do next? Something needs to be done about this. To some it’s just a cat or a dog,
but if you’ve ever owned a pet–that is your baby! To the people of Canoe, PLEASE start paying attention to who’s in the area that might be doing this! He/She is a sick, sick person, full of anger; I can’t even call him/her a human being because he/she is not! To the Police: perhaps you can start doing more patrols in the area! And to the person doing this, I hope you rot in hell! Please stop tearing people’s lives apart and get some much-needed help! M. Lawson, Canoe
Every other week on this page...
On March 25 I attended a workshop at Job B.C. on Hudson Ave. It started at 9:45 and was to end at 11:45, so I parked in the Ross Street parking lot, assuming I would be out on time, but we ran over a few minutes and I had a ticket that was marked as 11:55. This was the only two hour spot I could find, as everything else close by was one hour or, Lord forbid, a private lot. I took my ticket on my break (11:55) to City Hall and tried to explain my situation to the clerk, as I was concerned about the fact that I had a three-hour workshop shortly thereafter, only to have the clerk roll her eyes at me. I paid my $10.00 and then drove around for nearly 10 minutes, only to find there was NO parking for that length of time anywhere close. Admittedly, I parked in a private lot but worried the whole time about being towed (which did not happen). My point is this: the City of Salmon Arm made such a fuss of the fact that they were afraid of SmartCentres coming to town as it would kill any businesses downtown, and they encouraged townfolk to shop in the downtown core as it is within walking distance. That struck me as odd then, but even more so now, as the city installs more and more meters with such short time limits, plus there is a shortage (in my opinion) of handicapped parking. I do not see that many residences within walking distance, and I also am well aware that Salmon Arm is more of a retirement town that has a large aging population; who, for a variety of reasons, cannot walk from home to town and back. Do the bean counters seriously think this parking situation will make shopping downtown friendlier for those who believed in the hype? A tourist may also find this frustrating, as a leisurely stroll while shopping and a bite of lunch may eat up more than two hours – what a nice welcome to our community a ticket will be! Back to the demographic, my partner is handicapped and needed to go to the bank at Lakeshore and Alexander last year, and the only spot he could find was a spot that impeded a loading zone, as there were no available handicapped parking spaces. He was only gone a short time and he got a ticket. He has a very limited income as do most of the seniors who still rally to support the town they love. How many tickets do you think they are willing to pay? Enough, already! Carrie Raylan, Salmon Arm Working for Hope, Healthy & Healing in our Community

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Enderby whimsy Portrait art at the library
Enderby and District Arts Council has put out a call to artists and artisans for proposals to improve and beautify the breezeway between the Library and Hungry Jack’s restaurant in Enderby. “We will welcome creative, imaginative ideas of all sorts,” says Jon Turpin, chair of the project committee. “We would really like some whimsy to adorn and enliven this much used public space, in addition to more basic redesign and repainting of pergolas, perhaps some butterflies flying about, maybe a black metal cat prowling up high, even a trompe l’oeil wall mural, one of those wonderful paintings which fools the eye.” Because the area is open, materials must be durable and weather-resistant. The breezeway connects Cliff Avenue and a City parking lot, and the seating area and bollards in Cliff Avenue is included in this project. The Arts Council hopes to spend between $5,000 and $6,000 on the breezeway make-over. Enderby City Council has given agreement in principle to the beautification, pending a final submission by the Arts Council. A volunteer group of enthusiastic plant lovers now looks after the area’s flower beds. Submissions could include trellises against the walls or other decoration in the planted area, subject to the approval of the gardeners. Detailed written proposals including artist’s bio, sketches and costing are requested by April 30, with work beginning in June and completion by late summer 2014. These can be for all or part of the project. Contact Jon Turpin at 250-8382274 to talk about your ideas or to get more details.

The Patience Stone
In Persian folklore, there exists a magical black stone, Syngué sabour, pierre de patience (The Patience Stone), to which one can confide anything. The stone will absorb all one’s words, secrets, and miseries until it bursts and one is freed from all their troubles and sufferings. A Muslim woman’s paralyzed and vegetative husband unconsciously assumes the role of this legend while she begins to confess to him everything she’s remained silent about over their 10 years of marriage. While struggling to obtain water and his medication, she decides to leave her two daughters with her aunt for safety during a cease-fire in their war-torn neighbourhood. But after she encounters a young soldier marauding her home, her life is irrevocably shaken when the two begin a relationship. The Patience Stone is adapted and directed by its author Atiq Rahimi, and also won the Prix Goncourt in 2008. The Patience Stone shows Saturday April 5th, 5:00 p.m. at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Lisa Figueroa and her portrait students will be presenting two simultaneous shows of recent portrait work at the Salmon Arm Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. Lisa Figueroa, Bonnie Jackson, Taryn Garrett, Hanne Giuffrida, Jadranka Zizak and Susan Miller will each display one large framed drawn portrait and three smaller (5 x 7”) ink portraits over the month of April. The smaller portraits have each been drawn on index cards and are examples of approximately seventy five index card portraits which will be placed between the pages of library books
and found (for keeps!) by those patrons lucky enough to have it housed in a book they are borrowing. The “Index Card Portrait Show” is on permanent exhibition or until all of the portraits have been found and kept! This idea of found art drawn on 5 x 7” index catalogue cards was first enacted at the National Gallery Library in Ottawa Ontario where Cliff Eyland drew many found art cards. The Salmon Arm Branch head librarian Roswitha Klawitter and Lisa Figueroa have partnered to bring found art to the local library.
Above: Taryn Garrett works on a index card portrait for the ‘found art’ exhibition at the Salmon Arm branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. Left: Some of the portraits to be inserted into books and be found later by library patrons. Photos contributed.

Keep beliefs private
Skiing on the rock
Several Larch Hills Racers attended the Haywood Ski Nationals at Blow Me Down Trails in Corner Brook, Newfoundland from March 15th to the 22nd. Members from the Larch Hills team included Rachel May, Gina Cinelli, John Connor, Kellen Viznaugh, Alexander Corbett, and Johnathon Bakker. The first day of racing was the classic team sprint. Teams are made of two people with each skiing three times around the 1000m course. Only the top 30 advance which causes quite the competition just to get to the heats. Day two was an interval start classic event. As weather conditions constantly changed throughout the day, waxing became a challenge for many of the racers. After a day of rest/training, the third race day consisted of an interval start skate race. John placed 15th, Alexander placed 24th, Johnathon placed 41st and Kellen placed 59th. For the girls, Rachel placed 11th and Gina 46th. The next day’s racing event consisted of short sprints. Two rest days were followed by the final race of the event, the long-distance mass start classic. Alexander finished 37th, Kellen finished 43rd, Johnathon was 46th and John finished 48th. For the girls, Rachel finished 11th and Gina finished 41st. In between the racing, the team did a little exploring, checking out the sites of the town, and even doing some hiking at Gros Morne National Park. Everyone on the national team is to be congratulated for their fantastic effort in Newfoundland. Photo contributed.
Thank you and good luck, Professor Remphrey! Trying to change the minds, or better said, beliefs, of certain people about how the earth came into being, will require more than just ‘facts.’ By stating that science and data is a ‘pagan religion,’ which a local resident recently wrote in a letter to your paper, only proves that facts can’t get in the way of ‘belief’ (or faith). There is ample proof and veracity out there for those who wish to know about the evolutionary beginnings of our planet and how all living and non-living things, evolved and came to be. For those whose explanations for the natural world and humanity comes from a religion, spirituality, or some pagan belief system, I say, please keep this to yourselves and keep it private. Telling others that their acceptance of science and historically-proven artifacts is based on ‘paganism,’ is quite frankly, silly. Your beliefs are yours to keep and share if you like, but to dismiss scientific methods as a ‘religion’ practised by pagans is just being emotional. Just stick to the facts readers, and respect one another’s ‘beliefs’ without resorting to name-calling. Elli Jilek, Sorrento
Once a fish, always a fish
Re: Life on Earth - what a story! (Friday, March 28/2014) Mr. Remphrey, Sir, though I do not have “Biology Professor” in my title and I do not want to disrespect someone who has made a career as an evolutionary teacher, but sir, does it not make you wonder why not even ONE shred of evidence has ever been found to conclude the evolution theory as fact? Not ONE! In fact, in the early twentieth century, evolutionary-inclined scientists were so determined to find some piece of the puzzle that they even tried to “make up” fossils using different animal and human bones to fool the public into thinking they had actual evidence – only to be discredited later on. Scientists also tried to re-create the evolution process in their labs. Upon discovering the subtle differences of the DNA molecular structure between most animals, they attempted to, for example, take the egg and
sperm of a monkey and genetically modify the DNA to another animal’s DNA to produce the evolution effect. All it did was produce mutations of the model animal (monkey), not another species. They finally concluded that once an animal or organism is brought into existence as far back as minute molecules - it stays that way. It cannot be changed into something else. This explains why no artifact has ever been found to document what you are saying. There are no fish evolving into lizards or ape evolving into man because it didn’t happen. Once a fish, always a fish! A lizard a lizard! Over the last century, science has improved its extreme research methods and Darwinism has been crushed by the facts. Like most theories, unless it is backed up by hard evidence, it remains only a theory. Sir, it seems to me, we have actually removed our heads from the sand. Wendy Fredette, Salmon Arm
Naturalists not promoting a religion
Evolutionary science holds such threat and terror for David Riley that he abandons reasonable, evidence-based logical discourse altogether. In his ill-informed criticism of the outstanding “Nature’s Corner” column by Ted Kay on bees (Feb. 28), he unfortunately resorts to simple, declarative, negative statements, like: “Evolution is not science” (news to virtually ALL professional scientists, of which I have the privilege of being one); “a bee colony could not possibly have evolved from a simple, single ancestor” (Why not? How does Mr. Riley know this?); “Why is evolution being promoted?” (Because centuries of evidence show that evolution is the best explanation of
the way the world of nature truly works); “Adaptation is lauded....and needs to be refuted” (Really? Adaptation accounts beautifully for the continuing ‘fit’ [or not, if the environment changes] between plants and animals, and the varying demands of the environment.). And, finally, the quintessential ‘howler:’ Mr. Riley contends that “naturalists should not promote a pagan religion.” As far as I’m aware, hard-working naturalists promote only knowing nature and protecting it. But if they happened to be ‘pagans,’ I say So what? Perhaps no religion promoting any religion would be a useful guideline. Right, Mr. Riley? Tom Crowley, Tappen

Our big, beautiful lake
www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca
Whether you’re returning from a far-away trip, or just driving for an outing, the glimmer and sheen of big Shuswap Lake is always present in your mind. Its beauty through the changing seasons is unsurpassed. Left over from the ice age, as the glaciers carved their way southward from the Kamloops region, being hundreds of feet tall, toward the Okanagan, it formed the lake, including little Shuswap and Mara Lakes. Trapped in the large water bodies were sockeye salmon, which over time, became smaller kokanee, lake trout (char) and trout, were also present, along with a number of coarse fish. But today, and before the first settlers arrived, it was a corridor for the three species of salmon returning to their natal streams to spawn each fall. Today, growth around Shuswap Lake’s shores is increasing, along with industrialization and tourism, as our population increases, especially in the summer. The recreational aspect is important, as it generates dollars for local communities from grocery purchases, gas/oil, boating activity, and camping. With increased pressure on the ecology of its water and shoreline, let’s take a look at the lake, from a layman’s point of view. It’s always been here. Is it important? It is one one of the few large lakes that is not controlled by dams. The Shuswap rises and falls about 3 metres annually. Its catchment basin, or watershed, drains close to 16,200 km. Seventy percent of the fish species in the lake depend on its shoreline habitats for rearing, feeding, and protection. Two hundred fifty species of birds migrate to the surrounding habitats of the lake, with the vegetated shoals of the lake providing food for aquatic species, including the rocky or gravelly shoreline habitats for egg laying (sockeye in fall, lake trout in November off rocky points). Fishing: The lake has always been the producer of rainbow trout and lake char of considerable size. The main food source is kokanee in summer, and salmon fry/smelts in the spring. Earlier, due to increased angling pressure (houseboats/pleasure craft) and generous catch limits, MOE biologists began to realize in the mid 1990’s that to save the fishery, a quota system should be put in place. Former fish biologist John Cartwright, along with Brian Hebdon, implemented the restriction with a single barbless hook, bait ban, and one recorded trout 50 cm or over per day with a 5 fish seasonal limit. Enforcement: Change is constant in the CO service, as well as with DFO. While working as a fishery officer, I did many enforcement checks on all three lakes, with substantial fines for some polluters and anglers, many out-of-province. It was not uncommon to check fifteen boats, including houseboats, during the course of a patrol, with a number of tickets written for various infractions, under the BC sport fishing regulations, and Fisheries Act. Two that stand out were a party of six on a houseboat, moored at
PET
of the MONTH
shuswapoutdoors by Hank Shelley Scotch Creek, with three rods fishing. Coming aboard to check the out-of-province licences, the verbal abuse began, with the women being the most aggressive. Fortunately, there were two of us on patrol that day. Another was the four anglers in a boat, with some Jim Beam and beer, with all the wrong rigging and treble hooks. The result was that the four rods were seized. Tickets were issued, along with threats, and declarations of all the money they spend while vacationing here. If not paid in 30 days, a warrant for their arrest would be served at Stoney Plain. But change has come, with few one-man patrols. Most enforcement now, is multi agency blitz, with Coast guard, Fisheries, RCMP, CO Service. Although I do recall a check of a house boat on the big lake, where the owner was not happy to see us, and told us to “(You-know-what) off.” He’d just been checked by the Coast guard and RCMP, earlier! Now there is greater fishing pressure, with more anglers than ever, hitting the water with the results of conservation of the trout/lake trout stocks having an effect. More large trout are coming to the boat. The information below was passed along in a recent questionnaire sent out to anglers fishing Shuswap Lake. And thanks to the ethical standards set by most anglers, we will continue to have excellent angling. Out and about in the Shuswap Anglers fishing Shuswap Lake are comprised of 83% residents, and 17% from the rest of Canada. 115,000 hours’ angling time spent fishing over a 12-year average, or 26.00 angler days at 4.4 hours per day. The release rate for trout was 83% for all survey years (thank you anglers). Both rainbow/lake trout release is increasing, but there is more fishing for lake trout. In fact, since 2008, angling for larger lake trout has increased. Rainbow trout harvest remains constant, but more anglers are out fishing! While out last Sunday off Murdock Point, I saw fifteen anglers shore fishing, and fifteen boats on the water. Concentrations of rainbows/lake trout, wait for the arrival of salmonid fry, coming through the channel from lower Shuswap River/Eagle River, off Old Town Bay/Murdock Point. This is similar to rainbow trout from the Thompson River and Little Shuswap Lake, and all point in Big Shuswap Lake, conditioned to converge off the mouth of the Adams River in fall to feast on chinook/sockeye eggs drifting out to the dropoff zone. Tight lines and keep on a’fishing when ya’ can!

“Your deduction and tax credit specialists”
New program empowers Aboriginals Okanagan College’s Aboriginal student population has grown by more than 240 per cent over the last seven years – the fastest rate of any post-secondary institution in the province. To respond to this exploding growth, Okanagan College developed the Academy of Indigenous Scholars through the generous support of a $40,000 grant from the Vancouver Foundation. The Academy of Indigenous Scholars is a culturally relevant program developed to support first-year Aboriginal students. The goal of the program is to empower students to take greater control of their education and fully utilize the services Okanagan College offers. “This program comes from a place of advantage, not disadvantage,” says James Coble, Director of Student Services and former Aboriginal Access and Services Coordinator at Okanagan College. “We know these students can be successful and we’re here to facilitate their abilities, help them set goals for themselves and get the most out of their education.” The program is open to all self-declared Indigenous students in their first year of university-level arts, science and business programs starting in September 2014. An indigenous student is anyone who declares himself or herself to be of First Nation (status or non-status), Metis or Inuit descent. The Academy of Indigenous Scholars is accepting 30 students across Okanagan College: 15 in Kelowna, and five from each campus in Penticton, Vernon and Salmon Arm. “Acceptance into the program isn’t based on grades. What’s important is students’ commitment to carrying through with the program to the end of the year,” says Coble. Each student will meet with the Aboriginal Access and Services
Coordinator and develop an individual achievement plan. Each plan lays out recommendations based on that student’s particular circumstances. For example, some students may benefit from counseling and peer mentorship, while another might want to focus on utilizing study tutorials and one-on-one sessions with faculty. The program launches in September. Students must be enrolled in at least three university transfer courses in each of the fall and winter semesters to be accepted. Once the individual achievement plan is developed, it’s up to each participating student to carry it out. At the end of the school year, if the student has fulfilled their program’s academic requirements and executed the plan to their coordinator’s satisfaction, they will receive a $400 bursary. There are four pillars of services that indigenous scholars can take advantage of: Intellectual: Tutorial, study skills and exam prep sessions, advising and tutoring. Emotional: Transition planning, peer mentor and counselling. Spiritual: One-on-ones with Elders, peer counselling, access to community sweat lodges and weekly smudges. Physical: Recreational activities, financial aid, and disability services. “We’re focusing on helping students develop their whole selves not just the academic component of their education,” says Coble. “Research suggest that those students who are in touch with their emotional needs and cultural heritage, do have a greater chance of success because they can draw on that strength to navigate their way through the system,” he says. Interested students should visit at www.okanagan.bc.ca/indigenousacademy for more information.

Disclosure rules on way for local elections
A14 Friday, April 4, 2014 Lakeshore News
By Tom Fletcher, Black Press VICTORIA – Candidates for municipal and school board elections will have to register with Elections BC and report donations of $50 or more when they run in province-wide elections this November. Legislation tabled by the B.C. government last Wednesday will extend the term of office to four years as well as tightening rules for campaign financing and advertising. Third-party advertisers will also have to register before promoting candidates, and financial disclosures will have to be filed with Elections BC within 90 days of the vote. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes said the new rules have been developed in consultation with the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and that discussion deter-

mined that an outright ban on anonymous donations is too strict. The disclosure rule will also apply to third-party advertisers, who will have to report sources of donations more than $50 and identify themselves in advertising. Campaign spending limits won’t be imposed until after the elections scheduled for Nov. 15, 2014. Oakes said that measure is complex because the variety of local governments in B.C. is the widest in Canada, including large and small communities, regional districts, school boards, park boards and the Islands Trust that governs the Gulf Islands. The legislation also moves the date of local elections from November to October, but that won’t take effect until 2018. UBCM president Rhona Martin, a director of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, said

the move to four-year terms is not a “perfect solution,” but it was supported by a majority of delegates at last year’s convention. In previous votes, some small community representatives said even three-year terms may be too long for a time-consuming commitment with little pay.
The change in reporting rules creates a large task of compliance and enforcement for Elections BC. Oakes said the Elections BC will present its proposed costs to the legislature committee that determines budgets for all independent officers, including the Auditor General.

Cabinets and candle wax
Dear Reena, I am in desperate need of some help with my problem! I accidently got pale pink nail polish splashed onto my brand new stained cabinets (the cabinets are dark stained) and I need to know how I should get it off! We got the nail polish off of the front of the cabinets before it dried, but didn’t get to the side of the cabinet before it dried. So it has left two big pinkish-white streaks. I just don’t want to ruin the cabinets by trying solutions, if I can help it. So a co-worker directed me to you! If you can help me, I would appreciate it more than you will ever know! Kristen Dear Kristen, Make sure to test all products on an inconspicuous area before using them on your cupboards. Spray area with WD-40, leave for 10 mins. Gently rub with a slightly abrasive cloth. After nail polish has faded, clean the area with dish soap and water. Update from Kristen: We ended up getting the nail polish off with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Took it off like a charm and didn’t damage my cabinets at all! Dear Reena, How do I prevent life’s little critters from feasting on my corn? Lindsay Dear Lindsay, To keep birds and small animals from eating corn, secure thin, dark colored string or wire in a zigzag pattern across the bed. String should be about 3 cm above the ground level. Not being able to walk properly will frustrate the birds and encourage them to leave. Also, keep birds away from the garden by placing a pinwheel nearby. Or attach aluminum foil strips to a stake. If you happen to have an artificial owl lying around the yard place it high in the garden to deter feather folk. Dear Reena, I spilled candle wax on my sealed wooden deck and I want to clean the mess. What is the best technique to remove the wax? Betty
Dear Betty, Candle wax on a sealed wooden deck can be removed using a putty knife and grease remover (test remover). Steam clean, heat with an iron or apply hot water and a little pressure. Dear Reena, We live in the country and love to watch and feed wild birds. We have a journal and keep track of the types of birds that visit our yard each year. Can you give us a tip on storing lots of bird seed? We buy it in large plastic bags that tend to tip over and make a mess on the garage floor. Lawrence Dear Lawrence, Store birdseed in a plastic 20 gallon garbage can (with or without wheels). This is inexpensive and holds more than a 50 pound bag of seed, it is fairly easy to carry because of the handles, and comes with a lid. Makes food easy to access for quick filling. Less mess, and less time. Fabulous tips of the week: • Rub a shelled walnut over furniture to hide scratches on wood furniture. Kyah • Make your own laundry detergent; grate one-eighth bar Sunlight laundry soap and combine with one-quarter cup borax. Toss clothes into the washing machine and mixture onto fabric. Clothes always come out clean. I have been doing this for years. Vanessa • A tackle box works well for storing girl hairclips and elastics. The baubles and bands go in the small upper trays and brushes/product/etc. in the larger bottom part. And the whole thing can be stashed in a cabinet or drawer. To keep ponytail holders even more organized, purchase one of those binder rings from your nearby office supply store. Mertle I enjoy your questions and tips, keep them coming. Missed a column? Can’t remember a solution? Need a motivational speaker for an upcoming event? Check out my website Reena.ca.

is home to the largest man-made pool in the world, measuring over 1 kilometre long, covering 20 acres, containing 250,000,000 litres of salt water and having a maximum depth of 115 feet. Shawn and Scotty

BC is growing
B.C.’s population grew by 24,000 in the third quarter of 2013, reaching 4,606,375. It’s the largest population increase for that quarter since 1996. The increase was mainly a result of 15,477 non-permanent residents, which Statistics Canada warns are a volatile component of population measurement. Northern B.C. communities are dealing with what they call “ghost populations,” with thousands of workers flying in and out of industrial camps who put pressure on local services without contributing to communities. Interprovincial migration figures showed the seventh consecutive quarter of net loss for B.C., down 282 people from the second quarter. B.C.’s total population increase over the 12 months ending Oct. 1 was 47,496 people, mainly due to international immigration, which saw a net gain of 35,282 people. Natural growth (births minus deaths) accounted for 11,214 of the total.

She was born on January 28, 1951 in Smithers, BC to Kenneth and Pearl Jameson. Roberta grew up in Duncan, BC. After high school she completed a Home Economics degree at UBC. After her 3rd year of university, she worked a summer job in Abbotsford for the Department of Agriculture. While there, she met her future husband, Dick Carlson, whose family were long-term dairy farmers from the Abbotsford area. After her university graduation, Roberta and Dick were married in 1973 and she taught school at Chilliwack Secondary. With the birth of her first child, Roberta left teaching to raise her family. In 2004, Roberta and Dick sold their dairy farm in Abbotsford and relocated to Salmon Arm. Over the years in Abbotsford and Salmon Arm, Roberta took an active leadership role in 4H and also co-ordinated many dairy related activities involving youth. Roberta was preceded in death by her parents Ken and Pearl Jameson and her inlaws, Stanley and Lillian Carlson. Roberta is survived by her husband Dick, sons Kevin and Brad (Emily) of Salmon Arm, daughter Kristine Rietveld (Jason) of Fort Saskatchewan, AB, her grandchildren, Tyson, Mikail, Troy, Janaye, Annabelle and Isaac, her sisters Lorraine Jameson of Williams Lake and Ruth Salmon (Keith) of Parksville. A memorial service will be held at Cornerstone Christian Reformed Church at 1191 - 22 Street NE, Salmon Arm on Tuesday, April 8 at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations are made to the BC Cancer Society.
