Heritage Week celebrates waterway history

By Susan Mackie At R. J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum we know how to celebrate our Shuswap history, and this month the Village & Museum are taking it on the road. In partnership with The Mall at Piccadilly, the Museum is celebrating “Heritage Afloat” – this year’s Heritage Week theme – from February 17-22. The 18th Annual Heritage Week keepsake poster has a photo from the Museum’s collection, taken by a young photographer named Rex Lingford. Rex took this photograph of the SS Andover rounding Engineer’s Point coming into the Salmon Arm bay. The prettiest sternwheeler to serve Salmon Arm was built in Kamloops by Maritime shipbuilders Captain George Ward and his sons Elmer and Arthur in 1908. The boat was christened the SS Silver Stream, but was renamed the SS Andover shortly afterwards. Ward didn’t realize the name

was spoken for and another vessel in the British ship registry already bore the name. Armed with a government subsidy of $1500, Ward remodeled his steamship for the tourist trade a year later. The state rooms accommodated sixteen people with meals served from a galley kitchen on board. Beginning May 26, 1909, service from Kamloops to Sicamous went thrice weekly with an overnight stop in Salmon Arm. Salmon Arm’s wharf channel was dredged and the future looked bright for water travel. Captain Ward was confident that excursions would appeal to hundreds of tourists during the summer months, and set his prices accordingly. In 1910 the excursion rates were a dollar for adults and half price for children. The Heritage Week celebration starts February 17 with pioneer displays from R. J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum, City of Salmon Arm Heritage Commission, Deep Creek Tool Museum, Enderby Museum, Shuswap Quilter Guild,

Okanagan Historical Society, Ron’s Crafts, Salmon Arm Fall Fair, Salmon Arm Golf Club, Salmon Arm Model Railroad Association, Shuswap Needle Art Guild, Shuswap Pioneer Collectors Club, Shuswap Seed Savers, Shuswap Spinners & Weavers, Neil Sutcliffe’s Vintage Radios, and more set up throughout The Mall at Piccadilly February 20-22: visit R. J. Haney Heritage Village & Museums Silent Auction table. This major fundraiser for the Village & Museum has items for bid that have been generously donated by local businesses and individuals. With the help of the Salmon Arm community the silent auction has become one of the Village’s most successful fundraising events of the season. There are over 150 items and bidding closes Saturday at 3:00 p.m. February 20-22: visit Peter Blundell’s kiosk near centre court. Peter is an independent appraiser and will be on site to appraise those household curiosities and art that you have been wondering about.

Visit Peter daily from 10:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Cost is $14.00 per item. Family Fun Day is Saturday, February 22. Start the morning at 8:30 a.m. at Jane’s Place, hosting a Pioneer Breakfast for the Village. The hard-working crew at Jane’s Place donates part of the breakfast proceeds back to the Village.

Street hockey extraordinaire

The local firemen competed against RCMP in a ball hockey game played in the Ross Street parking lot on Saturday (above), one of the events for the campaign to win this year’s Hockeyville bid. The firefighters’ tricks to win the game included the use of a very small net (left); and they managed to squueak out a narrow victory at 12-11. Upper right: Mackenzie and Lana Fitt brave the cold weather to sign people up for Hockeyville during the game. Howard Vangool photos.

Celebrating community and hockey

In the last few weeks a palpable excitement has been growing throughout Salmon Arm as hockey fever has hit our city with a frenzy. Many local businesses have painted their windows to show that Salmon Arm is indeed ‘Hockeyville.’ There have been extra hockey games played at the Shaw Centre, and sign up tables have been set up at the malls and various other locations throughout town. On Saturday, a game of street hockey was held between the firemen and the local R.C.M.P., who gladly braved the cold weather to show that they too were proud to be a part of the excitement. Both of the malls in Salmon Arm and a number of businesses including the Lakeshore News let their employees wear their favourite hockey jersey to work on January 31st. The reason for all the hype is that Salmon Arm has been nominated for the Kraft Hockeyville competition, which carries a top grand prize of $100,000 to be used for upgrades and repairs to our arena. In addition to this, a pre-season NHL game would be played here in Salmon Arm, and we would receive CBC television coverage. This contest, which is co-sponsored by several

major corporations including Kraft, CBC, and the NHL was introduced to Canadians by the CBC in 2006, and has been an annual event aired during Hockey Night in Canada ever since. This is how it works: once a community is nominated, citizens participate by going to the Kraft Hockeville website and uploading their own hockey anecdotes and photos to prove that they are deserving of the Hockeyville title – as well as, of course, the prizes that come with the title. Recently, after driving through town and noticing the many Hockeyville signs and murals prominently displayed throughout Salmon Arm, and then talking to some of the enthusiastic volunteers manning a Hockeyville sign-up table in the mall, I decided to go to the website and check it out. Once I had searched out our local community by typing in Shaw Centre, I spent some time reading the various stories and looking at photos (including some that I took myself) that had been uploaded by local people, and I realized that hockey truly does help bring us together as a community. We are lucky to be able to cheer for the SilverBacks, and with Shaw Centre, we have a

throughmylens by Howard Vangool really nice venue to be able to play our sport in. Many of the hockey anecdotes posted online were heartwarming and entertaining, and after reading a good many I was convinced that we truly are deserving of the ‘Hockeyville’ title. Now $100,000 is nothing to sneeze at, and having the NHL visit Salmon Arm would be quite nifty, so I encourage everyone to go online to krafthockeyville.cbc.ca and sign yourself up by clicking on “log in” and “register an account.” From there you can search out and join the Shaw Centre community and post your very own story or upload a photo. If this seems a little too complicated, don’t worry because all you have to do is go find one of the Hockeyville sign up tables in town and the people there will be glad to take your information and do all the work of signing you up, so you can sit back and be proud to be a part of it all. Remember – you only have until February 9th, so please lend your community a hand and sign up today.

by Dr. Warren Gage

Conservative care ﬁrst

Recently-published research papers and subsequent articles printed in the American media have been highlighting some alarming trends south of the border when it comes to low back pain treatment and spinal fusion surgeries. The number of spinal fusion surgeries in the USA has risen sixfold in the past 20 years from 56,000 in 1994 to 465,000 in 2011. Journalists working at the Washington Post newspaper analyzed 125,000 patient records in Florida, and found half of these “extra” spinal surgery cases involved people who previously would not have been considered candidates for spinal surgery. It was also estimated more that $200 million was spent improperly on these spinal fusions because a conservative approach had not been tried first. Medical guidelines clearly indicate that patients should exhaust all conservative treatments options such as chiropractic care, physical therapy, acupuncture, and exercise before considering spinal surgery. Unfortunately, an article published in 2013 in the Journal of American Medical Association Internal Medicine showed that many American physicians do not follow these recommended guidelines and instead refer back pain patients for surgery and painkillers. Another unfortunate result of this trend in the USA is the rise of prescription opioid drug abuse. Unintentional overdose deaths involving opioid prescription drugs now outnumbers heroin and cocaine deaths combined. These statistics also apply north of the Canada-USA border; per capita, Canadians are the largest consumers of opioids in the world. Rates of accidental deaths from these drugs are now higher than traffic fatalities. Investigation into these issues does not produce any simple solutions. Years of continued government funding cuts for conservative health care modalities (chiropractic, physio, massage therapy, acupuncture, etc) forces patients away from alternative care and into the operating theaters. I meet people every day who would benefit from conservative care, but cannot afford it and subsequently choose, or, by their financial situation, are forced into the system that is covered under their BC Medical Services Plan – drugs and surgery. Without significant policy and funding changes from the government all the way down to practitioners, it is left to the individual patient to try and wade their way through this confusing and often painful journey to regain their health. For some individuals surgery may be their only option; however, if you or someone you know has been recommended to have spinal surgery, be sure to try all conservative approaches before agreeing to this serious procedure. Call Dr. Gage at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 8030224 for an assessment today.

Have a healthy heart

Heart disease is a term that applies to many diseases or injuries of the cardiovascular system, which includes the blood vessels of the heart, veins and arteries throughout the body and within the brain, and the heart itself. One in four Canadians has some form of heart disease. The common risk factors for heart disease include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high stress, a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, poor diet, obesity and diabetes. Cholesterol-lowering foods include avocadoes, almonds, olive oil, garlic, shiitake mushrooms, chili peppers, oat bran, various beans (like kidney, pinto, black, and navy beans). Research confirms that sugar causes heart disease and increases triglycer-

ide levels. Sugar is converted into fat and stored as triglycerides, if not burned by the body. A Finnish study showed that for every kilogram (2.2 pounds) increase in body weight, the risk of death from coronary artery disease increased by one percent. Losing even ten pounds can lower blood pressure and increase the HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol). HDL is very important, because it cleans off the walls of the blood vessels, by removing excess LDL cholesterol ( bad cholesterol). Numerous studies reveal that lifestyle change such as exercise, quitting smoking, weight loss, and changing to a healthy diet can reduce cholesterol levels and thus the risk of heart disease.

Constipation

along with a balanced diet and a healthy life style, not only helps with constipation, but also helps in lowering cholesterol, as well as reducing the risk of developing diabetes. Try and include foods containing pectin, which helps in digestion. Some examples of a good fibre source include papaya, carrots, apples and okra. Drinking wheat grass juice, which has chlorophylls in it, is another option. Regular physical activity like walking for 20 minutes a day relives constipation. Stress and depression are other big factors that act on the gastrointestinal muscle, causing it to contract and leading to constipation. So all methods that help one to relax and reduce depression should be applied. With the cold winter weather, walking may not be possible, so try and have a good diet with plenty of fluids. Readers with enquiries may contact Kosha Vaidya via email at koshahealing@gmail.com.

Constipation can occur due to insufficient amount of fluids and fibre. Other reasons that can lead to constipation are diabetes, kidney failure, long-term bed rest, and a high level of calcium. Low level of thyroid hormone and certain nervous system conditions and medication can also cause constipation. So its good to consult your physician as chronic constipation can causes appendicitis, cancer and many other diseases. Drinking more water along with a fibre diet is very important for prevention of constipation. Drinking about eight ounces a day is usually recommended (patients with heart condition or renal problems should consult doctors before drinking more water). Fibre is found in foods such as whole wheat bread, whole grain cereals, wheat bran and vegetables and fruits. This type of fibre helps in forming bulk in the stool and also works as a stool softener. Figs are my favorite as they have good amount of fibre. For example, three figs give about 10gms fibre. Having fibre,

IT’S THE YEAR FOR HOCKEYVILLE

I find it hard getting onto the Hockeyville website to participate so I can help Salmon Arm be the winner of many prizes in BC. I’ve been unable to navigate, perhaps because all of Canada is trying to do the same. A reader of this column said that she tried 10 times in three hours on Friday evening and had no luck. I suggested she omit the www in the address. She got on, but while she was navigating, the screen kept turning black. I coached her in writing a story about why Salmon Arm is Hockeyville, and she was finally able to get it on the website. We have until midnight this Sunday, February 9 to get our stories in. Three more days. Judges will take a few months to read all the stories and select the top 16 communities, eight in the east and eight in the west. After that, all registrants will have the opportunity to vote three different times to determine the winning communities.

SEASON HOCKEY TICKETS ONLY $199 IN FEBRUARY

TWIN TOILETS AT SOCHI OLYMPICS

Have you seen a picture of toilets at the Sochi Olympics in Russia? When a BBC reporter went to use the bathroom at the cross-country skiing and biathlon centre for the coming Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, he found two toilets but only one stall. A garbage can was tucked between them. Only one side had a roll of toilet paper. A commentator said you can shake your neighbour’s hand. To see a picture, google: Twin toilets at Sochi.

MERRITT HOCKEY & SASK. ROUGHRIDERS ARE OWNED BY THEIR COMMUNITY

The Merritt Centennials, proudly celebrating 40 seasons as the BCHL’s longest continuously run franchise, is a non-profit, community owned Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club run by a dedicated team of investors, directors, and volunteers. Major decisions are made in board meetings. When I was in nurse’s training in Yorkton, the football team was the Regina Roughriders. Now, the team that won the 2013

BC HYDRO CHARGES FOR READING OLD METERS

If you refused to have your BC Hydro meter replaced with a Smart Meter, since Dec. 2 you have been charged a $35 monthly surcharge to have your meter read.

FREQUENT MAMMOGRAMS ARE A SCAM

Women’s International Summits for Health is an internet-based conference that is teaching women things no one else will tell them. During an on-line interview with Dr. Moira Nolan last Thursday, she discouraged women from having frequent mammograms to prevent breast cancer. “They don’t tell you you’ll be pumping 1000 times the radiation of a chest x-ray through your delicate breast tissue while you do it. They won’t mention the likelihood that anything they find will lead to biopsies or lumpectomies that are likely to be completely unnecessary in the first place.”

SOMETHING STINKS ABOUT THIS PINK

I never buy anything with a pink ribbon because I do not believe a portion of the price goes for cancer research. During an internet-based conference (see item above), women around the world were told by the author of Pink Ribbon Blues, Gayle Sulik, that companies make a lot of money selling products and packages with a pink ribbon. “Breast cancer used to be a tragedy, something that was not ok. Thanks to the infestation of pink ribbons, it has been glorified as the girly version of the hero’s journey. Run the race, wear the T-shirt, buy the teddy bear.” Experts know a great deal, now, about how many cases of breast cancer can be prevented with good nutrition and a relatively natural, healthy life. At the conclusion of the 10-day Women’s International Summits for Health, all the talks can be heard again. To participate, go to http://www.wishsummit.com.

PROTESTS IN UKRAINE ARE CREATING HAVOC

Ukraine is the biggest frontier nation separating Russia and the European Union. Most residents want to become more westernized and closer to Europe, but the people in power are under the thumb of Russia’s Putin and he will not allow it. Once part of the Soviet Union, Ukraine gained its modern Independence in 1991 following the fall of the Berlin Wall. Before that, the country had been ruled by Austro-Hungary, Poland and Russia. My father died six months before the wall came down. I wish he could have celebrated that the country of his birth became independent. Canada was the first Western nation to recognize Ukraine’s independence in 1991. Now the thousands of protestors want to

Protection necessary for whole lake, not just Blind Bay

In reading the letters to the editor in the January 31 paper, I see that a lot of people are vocal about protecting Blind Bay. This is all well and good, but if the majority want to stop commercial development on the lake, why is that the same vocal majority has never mentioned the 6.5 million dollar new proposed CSRD building on the lake in Salmon Arm? The old saying ‘not in my backyard’ (or in this case ‘not in my bay’) may apply, but the waters from

GOVERNMENT TELLS PRIESTS TO KEEP OUT

Ukraine has strong churches, especially Orthodox and Catholic. The latter has a university partially funded by Ukrainians living in other countries like Canada. Priests have been blessing the protestors and also the police who are trying to hold them back from government buildings in Kiev. Government officials object to the make-shift chapel for protestors, and have told the priests to stay out of the area where protestors want closer ties with Europe and no domination by Russia. Priests are told it’s none of their business.

CATHOLIC CHURCH BROKE AWAY FROM ORTHODOX

The Orthodox Church teaches that it was established by Jesus Christ in his Great Commission to the disciples almost 2,000 years ago. It traces its development back to the earliest church established by St. Paul and the Apostles. The Orthodox Church is the second largest Christian church in the world, second only to the Catholic Church, according to Wikipedia. In the 11th century what was recognized as the Great Schism took place between Rome and Constantinople, which led to separation between the Church of the West, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Eastern Byzantine Churches, now the Orthodox.

CHEMTRAIL COMPOSITION FINALLY EXPOSED

Google: chemtrails exposed. Ex-military environmental hygienist Kristen Meghan blows the whistle on Air Force chemtrails. Watch her 15-minute speech about her life in the U.S. Air Force, where she was to protect citizens from dangerous products. When she questioned chemicals for chemtrails, she was threatened to be put on psychiatric sick leave. She is no longer in the military. Now she is a speaker, exposing how the American military is poisoning its citizens. Google or YouTube her name: Kristen Meghan, or geoengineering whistleblower. Her 21-minute speech is powerful. She speaks with great passion. I began blowing the whistle on chemtrails in 1997 when they began appearing above Vancouver and Salmon Arm. Finally, the truth is coming out.

SENIOR WOMAN IN VICTORIA DIED & CAME BACK

A 92-year-old woman in Victoria told her church friends that she had a Do Not Resuscitate notice on her fridge. Let’s call her Betty. When her church friends heard that she had collapsed, they assumed she had died and phoned one another with the news. But Betty did not collapse at home. An ambulance was called, CPR was administered and she was taken to emergency. The next morning church members had overnight messages on their answering machine saying she was alive. Being a good sport, Betty thought it was funny that she may have read her own obituary. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831 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.

TFSA versus RSP

Can you believe it’s February already? February also means this is your last chance to contribute to an RSP and get a deduction on your 2013 personal tax return. In fact, the rules for RSP contributions are that you can get a deduction on your current year’s tax return if you contribute in the first 60 days of the following calendar year. However, seeing as the 60th day (March 1st) falls on a weekend this year, Canada Revenue Agency has established the 2014 RRSP contribution deadline for 2014 to be March 3rd. With the introduction of the Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) in 2009, however, the question continues to be asked as to whether a person should contribute to a RSP or to a TFSA. It would be easy to say maximize your contributions to both, but in reality most of us don’t have the funds available to maximize both. So if you have a limited amount you want to save, what should you do? The answer to this question isn’t as clear-cut as you may think, but there are some guidelines to help you make the decision. With a TFSA you do not receive a tax deduction when contributing. However, you don’t have to pay tax on your funds (including growth) when withdrawing the funds. With a RSP contribution, you get a tax deduction, but your funds (including growth) are ultimately taxed upon withdrawal. Let’s look at a simple example. Assume the Junior Bean Counter earns $5,500 in pre-tax income and is taxed at a rate of 30%. This leaves him with $3,850 ($5,500 - $1,650). He then invests the $3,850 in a TFSA and earns 4% or $154 dollars after one year ($3,850 x 4%). So he now

has $4,004. Now assume the Junior Bean Counter instead invests $5,500 of pre-tax income into a RSP. You essentially don’t pay tax on it because you get to claim a deduction on your tax return. That $5,500 earns 4% after one year or $220, leaving a total of $5,720 inside the RSP. He then decides to withdraw the total amount and is taxed at the same 30% tax rate as noted in the first scenario. He will also end up with $4,004 ($5,720 $1,716 or 30% x $5,720). So as you can see the results are the same in the end. However, that only works if the tax rate at withdrawal is the same as the rate when the funds are contributed. So what if the tax rate when you contribute is different than the rate when you withdraw? I will save you the pain of more numbers and simply tell you. Generally, RSPs make more sense if you anticipate your tax rate upon withdrawal to be lower than the rate when contributing. The opposite is also true in that a TFSA tends to make more sense if the anticipated tax rate at withdrawal is the same or higher than that when contributing. Like I said at the beginning, it isn’t as cut and dry as you may think. You also need to consider a variety of other factors like the effect future RSP income will have on your Old Age Security, Guaranteed Income Supplement and other benefits or tax credits affected by your income. In the end, the important thing is to be saving your money in some form or another. However, it is worth asking the question as to what vehicle is best for you because if you are like the Junior Bean Counter, he doesn’t like paying any more taxes to Ottawa than necessary!

CAPRICORN

Capricorn, you have so much to do now that your mind may be in a complete jumble. Others will come at you with questions, but take a deep breath and answer them one at a time.

AQUARIUS

Change is not the best idea right now, Aquarius. It is much better to stick with the status quo for a little while longer. Then you will have enough stability to make a change..

PISCES

Pisces, you have many new ideas about how to get rich quick, but you will probably want to find more sensible ways to earn a living.

ARIES

Aries, you are inspired to take on the world, but you may want to focus on smaller goals this week. Finishing a long-lingering work project is a viable option.

TAURUS

Taurus, something does not seem to be falling into place. Take stock of things at home and at work to see if you can crack this nut. A little more investigation many be necessary.

GEMINI

You may be offered a professional opportunity this week that is too good to pass up, Gemini. Despite this great offer, do your best to stay focused on work for the next several days.

CANCER

Exercise caution and do not jump to any conclusions at work, Cancer. While you may know what your boss expects from you, it is better to wait to hear what he or she has to say.

LEO

Leo, you can envision exciting adventures ahead, and those times will be here before you know it. Channel your enthusiasm so you can get a head start on planning your adventure.

VIRGO

Virgo, you have a desire to be different from everyone else this week. It’s good to be original, but don’t stray too far off the beaten path or you may find yourself lost.

LIBRA

Libra, a friend may shock you by doing something really outrageous. You do not know what to make of this change in personality, but do your best to take it in stride.

DreamLift Day makes over $100K The 20th annual Wendy’s DreamLift Day held on Wednesday, January 29th raised $108,610.35. Over the last twenty years, Wendy’s DreamLift Day has now raised a cumulative total of over $1,332,995.20. The restaurants were assisted by volunteers from all walks of life. They added to the fun of the day by changing from their usual jobs in their communities to something very different: preparing hamburgers and salads, making fries, cleaning trays and tables and all sorts of other behind the scenes tasks that helped make the day such a great success. The total includes the gross profits, wages and salaries from all the staff, management and ownership of the nine Wendy’s Restaurants in Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kelowna, West Kelowna and Penticton. The success of Wendy’s DreamLift Day would not be possible without the continued support from the community, Wendy’s customers, media, service/sports organizations, Wendy’s alumni and staff. Chiang Lee, VP of Operations for the Wendy’s Franchise,

says “The support has been overwhelming. Thanks to everyone involved for helping to bring some sunshine into children’s lives.” A special thank you is extended to the Orange County Sheriffs who helped make this such a special day: Lieutenant Tom Behrens, Captain Tim Moy, Lieutenant Jeffrey Hallock, Captain Bob Peterson, Captain Mike Toledo and Marilyn MacDougall, Executive Director of the Orange County Sheriff ’s Department Advisory Council. Note: the amount made at the Salmon Arm location on DreamLift Day was not available at press time.

Rescue society forced to quit

Notice to the communities of Westwold and Falkland and concerned citizens: Effective January 22nd, the Falkland Westwold Rescue Society (“Rescue Society”) has ceased to operate. The Society, which has been in operation for almost 13 years, has folded. With no donations coming in and only two or three volunteers, the group has become unsustainable. The members of the group regret this action; however, due to requirements of the Provincial Emergency Program (the government entity we operated under) and safety concerns they were no longer permitted to respond to car accidents with only one or two members. A feasibility study will be undertaken by

the CSRD to investigate the possibility of the Falkland Fire Department resuming this service at a later date. A strong desire by the society’s members to keep the assets in the community has led to the decision to sell the assets to the Shuswap Emergency Program. It is their hope that it will be decided that the Falkland Fire Department can take over these duties and assume ownership of their truck and equipment. In the interim, road rescue will be handled by Vernon and Kamloops Fire Rescue. The Falkland Westwold Rescue Society would like to thank the members of the community, CSRD, TNRD and various non-profit organizations

By Sarah Weaver The diversity and wonder of nature in the Shuswap is being highlighted in a magnificent new book. Awardwinning local photographer Clive Bryson has produced a 100 page large format coffee table book with full colour photographs on every page. “I wanted to showcase the area’s wonderful array of birds, flowers, fish and landscapes”, Bryson says. Shuswap Nature is a collection of Bryson’s stunning photographs that he has taken in and around Salmon Arm over the years. He says he hopes that it will help both residents and tourists learn more about the beauty and uniqueness of the Shuswap.

Clive Bryson’s work has appeared in many local as well as international venues; he has frequently donated his photographs for use by non-profit organizations in the area. A member of the Shuswap Naturalists, he will be a feature presenter at the fall general meeting of BC Nature which is being held in Salmon Arm in September. Bryson enthusiastically encourages young people in photography and sponsors a prize for youth at the Salmon Arm Fall Fair. For more information and to view the book, go to Bryson’s website: http://clivebryson.pixu.com/ Photos contributed.

MacKenzie Camp Society’s energy renewed

MacKenzie Camp has been serving children in this area as a summer camp for sixty-six years, offering young people an opportunity to live in balance with nature, learn new skills and come home with friendships that last a lifetime. The camp welcomed almost 200 campers last summer, employed fourteen young people, provided leadership training for twenty-two future leaders, and hosted a number of events and retreats in the fall. Every child who applies is welcomed, with the camp sponsoring seventy-two children this year through the campership program. With the help of many local organizations and churches, $20,000 was raised for this program, with numerous children sponsored through the camp’s school program.

cinemaphile by Emily Garrett

Gabrielle is a film about a young woman with ‘Williams Syndrome’ who has a zest for life and unbridled optimism; never more than when she sings in the choir. She meets the similarly-challenged Martin through choir, and they are soon inseparably in love, which alarms both their families and social workers, who wonder if the two can handle an adult relationship–especially Gabrielle’s beloved and supportive sister, who confesses she soon plans to move away to India.

As the choir prepares for an important music festival, Gabrielle does everything she can to gain her independence even when facing other’s prejudices and her own limitations in hopes of experiencing a love that is far from “ordinary.” The film also features a performance by Quebec musician Robert Charlebois. Gabrielle shows on Saturday, Feb. 8 at 5:00 p.m. at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Sale to beneﬁt Rafﬁ’s organization

Many are familiar with the work of Raffi, one of Canada’s great children’s musicians. Songs such as “Baby Beluga” and “Down by the Bay” have been entertaining us for over 30 years. Raffi is on a new mission now. Although he currently on tour as troubadour extraordinaire, he is very concerned about the direction in which our society is headed. Two books, “Child Honouring” and “Lightweb Darkweb” are shining light on the way out of the various dilemmas we are creating for our children. The Covenant for Honouring Children and its nine principles express the heart of the Child Honouring vision, which offers an organizing principle for societal change: a new partnership with our children, with each other, and with

our planet. Imagine … redesigning society for the greatest good by meeting the priority needs of its youngest citizens. Child Honouring principles are: Respectful Love, Diversity, Caring Community, Conscious Parenting, Emotional Intelligence, Nonviolence, Safe Environments, Sustainability and Ethical Commerce. To assist with this cause, there will be a sale of Barefoot Books at Piccadilly Mall on Family Day, Monday Feb 10, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Barefoot Books is a new line of children’s books that are gaining the attention of parents, grandparents, teachers and children the world over. All proceeds from the sale will go to the Centre for Child Honouring. For more information call Joan Sturdy at 250-804-3008.

To my parents

You are both special in every way, Encouraging me more & more each passing day. You both are the reason why I’m so strong, With you two at the helm not a thing could go wrong. You’ve both helped me through many trials & tribulations, You’ve made things better in every situation.

With thy calm and love peaceful Thou hast made mine worries few. ‘Twas oft the case in angst I dwelt, Thou hast shown blessings mine as new. I shall build thee one day a house Of cedars and firs and arches and stone, Where with heavy satisfaction shall thou be laden At here, at now, at last, at home. Soon thereafter a garden shall I raise, Harvesting peas and romance at the farm. The children let loose on wild grasses and skies, As thou was promised when left we for Salmon Arm. O Valentine! Thou I love in youth and still, In best or worst, light or dark, At morning hour, at meals right burnt, At eight months pregnant, at Fletcher Park.

Where but rock and snow naught shows, Mine love for thee grows. Where white waters of thine emotions meet Damning at thy thirst, Mine walls for thee permit, Nay, they burst. Thy love inspires mine instinct and calling: Draw her to His Heav’nly Care, In making her happy, do not relent. This month now let me share. May mine words in thou heart pierce true, And in all women whose lovers’ words be few: That raging winds of the world in me Are but a breeze in mine heart’s holy island with thee. Ken Fraser

Thank you both for always being there, And showing me that you truly care. Words could never explain how I feel about you, But I hope you know that I truly love you two!

- Denise

How Do I Love Thee?

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday’s Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with a passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death. - Elizabeth Barret Browning

5th Annual

In Memory of my Son, Ryan

A few minutes after his birth..... I could hear his announcing scream. I couldn’t believe he was finally here, The realization of my dream. A few hours after his birth..... I held him so close to my chest. Somehow that little boy let me see, A special love that never left.

A few days after his birth..... I held his tiny little hand. I told him there would be lots of things That I would help him to understand. A few weeks after his birth..... He had that sparkle in his eyes, And when he showed me that little smile, I thought that I would surely die. A few months after his birth..... He was just beginning to learn. He didn’t like me to go away, And he cried until I returned. A few years after his birth...... I still couldn’t believe he was mine. We talked and laughed and went for walks. We had so many special times... A few after.....

Dental Hygiene Day A day of no-cost dental hygiene services for those who otherwise would not have access to it.

Saturday, February 8th 9 am to 5 pm Please book an appointment. Phone 250-832-6692

A few minutes after his death..... I didn’t know I needed to scream. I thought that he was still safe and here... I didn’t know the truth of my dream. A few hours after his death..... I felt a strangeness within my chest. Something was wrong that I couldn’t see. God! I didn’t know that he had left. A few days after his death..... I held his cold and lifeless hand. There were just so very many things That I could not fully understand. A few weeks after his death.....

That sparkle stolen from my eyes, No longer to see his beautiful smile. I never, ever thought that he would die. A few months after his death..... There was so much I needed to learn. I was confused when he went away, And I still waited for his return. A few years after his death..... I still wish that he could be mine, To talk and laugh and go for walks. I miss those special moments in time. A few after..... A few minutes after MY death...... Once again I will hear him scream, “Hey Mom, it’s me, I’m over here, And Mom, this time it’s not a dream.” A few hours after MY death....... I’ll hold him close again to my chest. He’ll look at me and say... “Now see?”, It doesn’t seem so long since I left.” A few days after MY death..... He will gently take me by the hand, And show me all the glorious things, And help me to understand. A few weeks after MY death..... I’ll see that sparkle in his eyes. Once again he’ll warm me with his smile, And say... “You see, Mom, I didn’t die”. A few months after MY death....... Together we’ll have so much to learn. We’ll never have to go away, Or long for each other’s return. A few years after MY death..... Forever he will always be mine. We’ll talk and laugh and go for long walks, Because we’ll have nothing...... but time. In Loving Memory of Ryan March 3, 1977 – December 13, 1990

Happy Valentine’s Day

Cherry-Chocolate Cheesecake Pie Serves 6 to 8

3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened 1 cup (8 ounce container) sour cream 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 to 5 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate 1 stick unsalted butter 12 to 18 chocolate sandwich cookies, like Oreos® 1 container cherry pie fi lling/topping

1 Dozen Roses

Preheat the oven to 350oF. Prepare the crust by melting 1 stick of butter over low heat on the stove or by using the microwave. Do not overcook. Separate the halves of cookies and remove the cream fi lling. Put the chocolate cookies into a large zipper-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush the cookies into crumbs. You may also pulse the cookies in a food processor to create crumbs, if available. Mix the crumbs with the melted butter in a bowl until they begin to clump. Press the cookie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, coming a little bit up on the sides. Allow the crust to set in the refrigerator. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for a little while and massaging the unopened packages with your hands. Otherwise, microwave the cream cheese on low power until slightly warm and softened. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, eggs and vanilla to a large bowl. Using a stand or hand mixer, blend the cheese mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated. Then

(to be worn as a necklace pendant or bracelet charm) with its single salmon-hued heart placed inside the letter O, stands out as a reference to iconic pop art.” Or give her a ring.

continue to mix for 2 or 3 minutes more to make the mixture more creamy. In a microwave-safe bowl, place the squares of baking chocolate and use low to medium power to melt the chocolate. Mix thoroughly until all the chocolate has liquified. Let the melted chocolate cool off before adding it to the mixture, so the hot chocolate will not curdle the eggs and cream when added to the cream cheese mix. Blend the chocolate with the cream cheese batter until thoroughly incorporated. (Note: If you prefer marble cheesecake, swirl the chocolate through the cream cheese instead of mixing thoroughly.) Pour the batter into the pie plate over the crust. Bake for around 1 hour, checking the cheese cake to see if it is firm and set. Place the finished pie into the refrigerator and allow to cool for 3-4 hours, or overnight. Do not worry if cracks have formed in the top. Use the cherry fi lling to top the pie. If desired, decorate with chocolate curls. Serve and enjoy.

Treat all her senses Revive the art of letter-writing If there’s one day in the year when even the most reticent among us have to express a bit of tenderness, it is definitely Va lentine’s Day. But nobody says we have to go over the top. What if we just forgot about extravagance this year and went for pure relaxation? If you’re not sure how to woo her the way she’d like, just let the five senses be the guide. First step: eyesight To start the day off on the right foot, there’s nothing like a love letter or little message. It doesn’t matter if it is given in person, left in clear view on the kitchen table, or sent by e-mail. What it says is all that counts. Second step: smell Even if you think it’s a cliché, don’t hesitate to offer a bouquet to your loved one. Be sure to choose flowers

that will bewitch her with their fragrance. Third step: hearing Set the tone for the evening by putting on some soft, romantic tunes. Let your loved one know how much you love her. After all, who could get tired of hearing that? Fourth step: taste Now comes the moment to enjoy some special treats, starting with a bottle of champagne. Accompany this divine nectar with creamy chocolates or even some delicious red velvet cupcakes, purchased at your favourite bakery or made with love at home. Fifth step: touch To finish the evening on the perfect note, think silky lingerie, massage and essential oils, or a romantic bath for two. Sensual pleasures, guaranteed!

Valentine's ❤ Dinner Specials ❤

Getting a handwritten letter nowadays is extraordinary, as people often do not take the time to write letters in an age when emailing, texting and tweeting have revolutionized the way people communicate with one another. However, writing notes, letters and exclamations of love can be more intimate, especially on Valentine’s Day.

rience by selecting a fine paper on which to write. There are many different types of paper, including some that are embossed. Some may even feature flower petals or leaves embedded in the paper. • Brush up on your penmanship. A letter will be rendered useless if it isn’t legible. Therefore, practice

In France, love letters are called billet doux. The French are known to be romantics at heart, but that doesn’t mean people from all over the globe can’t put pen to paper to express their feelings. Handwritten letters are often seen as thoughtful gestures, especially when those letters are expressing intimate sentiment. Here are some guidelines for writing a love note or letter. • Visit a stationery store and find a nice piece of stationery and envelope to use for the letter. If you are putting forth the effort to create a beautiful, handwritten letter, you can add to the expe-

penmanship before sitting down to write your letter. • Have a picture of the person to whom you will be addressing the letter nearby. This may provide some inspiration. • Jot down ideas on a piece of scrap paper. Think about how your romantic partner makes you feel and the qualities he or she possesses that you find appealing, and use concrete examples why you love and care for this person. • Write a rough draft of the letter and be sure to proofread it for misspellings and grammatical errors. • Always write from the heart and be sincere in what you say. Try to call out specific examples that recall particularly fond memories. • Write your final copy of the letter on the good paper. Make sure it is neat and legible. Be sure you date it because it is likely the note will be saved. • You may want to wait a day or two before sending the letter to be sure the sentiments you expressed are truly what you want to say. If so, mail or hand deliver the note. Love letters and other handwritten notes are quickly becoming a thing of the past, as technology has largely replaced pen and paper. Yet, those who want to add a special touch to any occasion can choose to write a letter and make a lasting impression.

While heart-shaped paper crafts are requisite for the day, that doesn’t mean you need to be limited to all frilly creations. Boys can construct their own Cupid bows from twigs and some yarn. Everyone can whip up a batch of fizzing, scented bath salts. Homemade craft dough also makes for a fun project, and the dough can be turned into all different shapes, including hearts and bows. Fancy dinner at home Who says you have to venture out for fine dining? Plan an intimate dinner right in your own dining room. Have the entire family dress up in semi-formal clothing and enjoy a candle-lit meal on fine china. The meal need not be fancy, as long as everyone enjoys what they are eating. Plan for dessert afterward. Movie night Rather than facing the crowds at area theaters, you can visit your nearest movie quick-serve kiosk or purchase a movie through your cable service provider. Find family-friendly films with love and togetherness as the center theme. Then whip up a large bowl of popcorn, snuggle under the blankets

Current affairs

My intention for this column is to update you on highlights and activities that are happening around the Thompson/Shuswap for hunters and anglers. Although for the most part it does not cover snowmobiling, you can always go to www.sledsicamous. com for the latest news. Gord Bushell, head of the Eagle Valley Snowmobile Club, advises there is some great sledding into Blue Lake, Eagle Pass, and Owlhead. There’s heavy logging on Queest though. Snowpack is below average in the high country. Fishing: 2014 will be the dominant cycle once again for the Adam’s River sockeye run. It’s too early to predict stock strength, but on average, it would be 11.5- 17 million fish to tributaries including the Adams run. If you haven’t experienced the awe and excitement of standing on the banks of the Thompson River near Spence’s Bridge, fishing for these fresh-run beauties, there may be an opening again. Salt water, halibut: Once a year, commission members from Alaska/Canada/US, determine stocks and catch limits. The 2014 allocation is 6.85 million pounds. Recreational anglers make up a large component, as opposed to the commercial fleet, generating stay-at-home dollars to local coastal communities. The 2014 season may see anglers getting 14% of the catch compared to 12% in seasons past. Although the federal government and the BC Wildlife Federation opposed a Native commercial fishery, and fought it in the highest court for 10 years, BC Supreme court judge Nicole Garson has sided with the Nuu-chah-nulth nation, comprised of 5 bands for the fishery. In her submission, she states that these bands had traded, sold, and bartered salmon, halibut, and many other species before the arrival of Europeans. This has stirred up a lot of controversy, as under section 35 of the Constitution, First Nations can hunt/fish/trap year-round, and as in some court cases in the past, do not recognize Canadian/BC hunting and fishing laws. Grizzly bears: To hunt or to view? A good inside look at the life and roamings of these great animals can be found in an opinion piece of a former ecologist/guide/rancher from Ta Ta Creek (Kootenays) in the Cranbrook Daily Townsman. There is a healthy, robust number of grizzlies from the Montana/ Cranbrook border, in his numbers. The issue is, the

Friday, February 7, 2014 Lakeshore News A17

shuswapoutdoors by Hank Shelley

big bears need lots of room to roam, and are now on a collision course with gas/oil explorations crossings, etc. The main issue? If hunters harvest approximately 340 bears, from a population of a growing number now close to 13,000, the bears will continue to expand their range. Dominant males push out the youngsters into new territory. They are now being seen near towns and prairies not previously inhabited by grizzlies. It’s a very emotional issue; viewing these majestic animals brings in more bucks than hunting licences and tags. Visit www.dailytownsman.com and search for ‘grizzly’ to see more about this story. Fish farm expansion: This is a real bone of contention. The federal government, in its great wisdom, has decided to open more salmon farms on the west coast. Applications came flooding in. Now they have imposed a moratorium till December, because of a lawsuit, and legal transition of jurisdiction from BC to the DFO. First Nations chiefs are not pleased, nor is activist Alexandra Morton. The concern revolves around the issues of sea lice, waste, disease, contamination. Not wanting to be the bearer of bad news, an article in the January 28th edition of the Province newspaper, pertaining to run-of-theriver projects in BC, describes most are a “horror show,” meaning two have met environmental standards so far, while 18 of 24 do not meet proper standards. Accordingly, the province does not have the capacity or take the issue seriously. Few enforcement persons in the field to monitor the projects. Remember, these contractors expect to be paid big money while putting power back on BC hydro’s grid. Hydro made great profit back about 2001, now the fox is in the hen house! We haven’t even got to moose management/hunting issues for the year 2014. It doesn’t look good, as access, salvage logging, and unregulated hunting have numbers and carry-over tumbling. Unregulated hunting of big horn rams in Spences Bridge: Although sheep numbers are stable in most areas of the Thompson/Kamloops/Lillooet, the Spence’s Bridge herd trophy rams are being targeted for profit by certain groups. A trophy ram will sell for $10,000-15,000 to unscrupulous buyers in both

Salmon Arm shows its support for Hockeyville bid Howard Vangool

Jersey Day last Friday has citizens sporting hockey jerseys at work

Contributed by Salmon Arm Economic Development Society There are only two days left to get your submission on to the Kraft Hockeyville website to support Salmon Arm’s nomination for Hockeyville 2014! The Kraft Hockeyville site closes this Sunday at 9:00 pm local time. Salmon Arm has done very well; what a community! There has been a lot of support from local volunteers, Salmon Arm Minor Hockey, Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce, Salmon Arm Recreation Society, SilverBacks, City Hall, Firefighters, R.C.M.P, Downtown Salmon Arm, and the list goes on. There has also been support from local businesses who have got on board and decorated their windows, stores, staff, cakes, and even their vehicles. Way to go, Salmon Arm.

As we are coming to the end of the first phase of the competition (nominations/ submissions), we are also thinking about the next phase – voting. Once the Kraft site closes at 9:00 p.m. this Sunday, a panel of judges from Kraft will select the top 16 communities. The top 16 will be announced on Hockey Night in Canada on March 8th and voting will open within hours of the announcement. Voting will only be open for 48 hours. Plans are ramping up for the voting period as we are very hopeful Salmon Arm will be among the top 16. Stayed tuned for more information on these plans over the next few weeks. Also if you have a Twitter account or Facebook, please post something about Salmon Arm’s Hockeyville nomination and either tag “Kraft Hockeyville” on the post, or include @hockeyville for your tweet.

Pisces, you have many new ideas about how to get rich quick, but you will probably want to find more sensible ways to earn a living.

ARIES

Aries, you are inspired to take on the world, but you may want to focus on smaller goals this week. Finishing a long-lingering work project is a viable option.

TAURUS

Taurus, something does not seem to be falling into place. Take stock of things at home and at work to see if you can crack this nut. A little more investigation many be necessary.

GEMINI

You may be offered a professional opportunity this week that is too good to pass up, Gemini. Despite this great offer, do your best to stay focused on work for the next several days.

CANCER

Exercise caution and do not jump to any conclusions at work, Cancer. While you may know what your boss expects from you, it is better to wait to hear what he or she has to say.

LEO

Leo, you can envision exciting adventures ahead, and those times will be here before you know it. Channel your enthusiasm so you can get a head start on planning your adventure.

VIRGO

Virgo, you have a desire to be different from everyone else this week. It’s good to be original, but don’t stray too far off the beaten path or you may find yourself lost.

LIBRA

Libra, a friend may shock you by doing something really outrageous. You do not know what to make of this change in personality, but do your best to take it in stride.

SCORPIO

Scorpio, work figures to put a lot on your plate in the coming week. You can handle everything that comes your way, so long as you keep your cool and continue to work hard.

SAGITTARIUS

You may be tempted to sneak off and play hooky from work, Sagittarius. Just make sure you handle all of your obligations first. Now is not the best time to kick up your heels.

Are you in need of a home for your dog to stay when you are away? Or someone to drop in to your home to walk your dog, care for your pet, check your house, or do lawn care, cleaning or pet waste disposal? Cozy Critter Care is there for you when you need it, with individual care and love for your pets, and attention to detail for the results you expect. Cozy Critter Care is licensed and insured for your peace of mind. Patrice Le Blanc has worked for a vet and volunteered at the SPCA. She has owned a wide array of furry and feathered animals. References are always available. Dogs staying in Patrice’s air-conditioned home become part of the family (and often sleep in the bedroom). Forest trails are literally out the back gate for your dog to enjoy. The fenced yard allows your dog to play, wade in the pool or just relax off-leash. The dog beach is close by for those who like to swim. Pet sitting and/or security drop-in visits are available in Salmon Arm and area, including Gleneden, Raven, Canoe and Ranchero. Some pets (cats especially) are more comfortable staying in familiar home surroundings. Unfortunately, anything with a hoof or overnight visits to your home cannot be done by Cozy Critter Care. Updates can easily be passed on to you via phone, text or e-mail (photos included!). Dog walking can be done from your home, at the dog beach or park. Last minute walks are welcome. Mid-day visits to feed, let out your dog or play can be done also. In addition to pet waste removal, Patrice can also do lawn and yard care, house clean and run errands. Cozy Critter Care is there to transport your pet to the vet or groomer, whether you are able to come along or not. Patrice takes the time to get to know your pet, allowing for a smooth transition, especially for pets with separation anxiety or not used to being taken care of by someone they don’t know. Senior pets and those with special needs or requiring medication are welcome. A visit (free!) with your pet is required to ensure a good fit for all, with no obligation. Contact Patrice today at 250-253-3715, and see what Cozy Critter Care can do for you!

Barry Gray Dearing

1956 – 2014 Barry Dearing, son, husband, father, friend, coach, basketball official, and dedicated educator passed away January 16, 2014 in the company of family and friends, after a courageous battle with cancer. Barry was born in 1956 to a family with a long history in the Shuswap. Barry himself spent only four years of his life away from Salmon Arm – to attend university and to teach for one year in Australia. From an early age, Barry was an avid participant in many sports including hockey, baseball, volleyball, basketball, tennis, and golf. After graduating from high school in 1974, Barry attended the University of Victoria to obtain his Bachelor of Education degree, and later, a Master of Education degree. He spent his entire career in the Shuswap as a much-loved teacher and administrator and had recently retired, hoping to explore the golf courses of the world. Instead, he battled cancer with the determination, positive attitude, and humour that he was known for. Barry was also a highly regarded basketball official and served as president of the local referee’s association as well as on the executive for the BCBOA. He was also on the executive for the Shuswap Children’s Association and the Salmon Arm Golf Club. Barry is survived by his wife Nadina, son Kyle, mother Flo, brother Terry, niece Tanya (Jason), and nephew Drew. His father, Lorne, predeceased him in May 2013. A celebration of life was held for Barry on January 26th at South Broadview Elementary School, with Jack Bowers officiating. Tributes were given by son Kyle, close friend Carl Cooper, former student Hugh Bennett, local basketball referee Ken Jamieson, and BCBOA President Tim Heide. Music was provided by Jim Johnston (piano), Jim Howie (trumpet), the Shuswap Brass Quartet, Mary Landers and guest singers, and special guest Greg Sczebel. In memory of Barry, donations can be made to the Barry Dearing Family Foundation (c/o the Shuswap Community Foundation), which is being established to provide funding to disadvantaged elementary-aged youth who could benefit from financial support in athletic or artistic endeavours. The family would like to express their gratitude to the Vernon Cancer Clinic, the 4th floor staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Bowers Funeral Home, and the multitude of family, friends, colleagues, and students who rallied to support Barry and surround him with an abundance of love and dignity in his last months of life. Online condolences may be sent through Barry’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Shuswap Swimming ranks high at provincial championships

By Jana Montgomery Eleven swimmers from the Shuswap Swimming Team competed at the Swim BC AAA Provincial Short Course Championships from January 31-February 3. Shuswap Swimming scored well in the province, ahead of all other clubs in the region with the exception of Kamloops. The team placed 15th overall, one place ahead of the West Vancouver Otters. “We are a small team from a small community,” reported Coach Sam Montgomery. “Forging a name for ourselves in the province is a big deal. Our focus is on quality and excellence, and the results show it.” Shuswap Swimming had more than one quarter of its swimmers qualify for the championships, which is how the team beat out programs from larger centres like Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon. Lauren Hemburrow, 13 (right, below), started the competition off with a bang. She swam the 50m butterfly time trial in 30.28 seconds, qualifying her for the Western Canadian Championships (a senior national meet where Olympic team members will race head to head with our youngsters from Salmon Arm). Not a lot of 13-year-olds qualify for Westerns, so Lauren is on track for bright future in the sport. She will join teammates Paige Coutlee, 15, and Bree Cooper, 16, when they travel with Coach Jana Montgomery to the competition being held in New Westminster February 13-16. Lauren came to Salmon Arm from Ontario last summer, along with her coaches, in order to continue her training under their guidance. She has left behind family and friends at a young age in order to focus on her long-term goal of one day making the Olympic team. “Living with my coaches means it’s all about swimming 24/7,” says Lauren. “I’m so lucky that my parents supported this move and this great thing I’m trying to accomplish with my life.” The highest scoring swimmer of the meet was superstar Stephen Moore, 11. Stephen started his swimming at a young age in Williams Lake before moving to Salmon Arm

and joining the Sockeyes Summer Swim Club. This past autumn, Stephen switched to year-round swimming to focus on his long-term development in the sport, and he has been a welcomed addition to the Shuswap Swimming Team! Stephen won the 50 breast time trial with a time of :37.40. He went on to win 3 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze medal in the meet. His 200 breaststroke time of 2:52.34 beat out his coach’s record in the event, which was a goal worth achieving in and of itself.

Brazil. Bree Cooper, 16, won 3 bronze medals for her races in 50 fly, 100 free and 50 free. She now swims two lengths of the pool in 26.87 seconds! Atta girl, Bree! Chantel Jeffrey, 12 (left, above), is another former Sockeyes summer swimmer turned year-round Shuswap Swimming member. She has excelled in the program and qualified for Age Group Nationals in several events. Yearround swimming has given Chantel the ability to race longer distance events (not part of summer swimming), and compete on a national scale. Chantel brought home many points in the meet. On the younger half of the 12-13 age group, she found herself up against some big, strong, fast older girls, but Chantel didn’t back down. She managed a 4th place finish in 200 fly (1st among 12-year-olds) with an incredible time of 2:34.88. Lauren Gridley-Haack, 10, Paige Coutlee, 15, Thomas Flahr, 15, Bryce Molder, 15, and Josh Rota, 17, rounded out the Shuswap swimmers contributing to the team’s success at Provincials. Photos contributed.

Jacob Rambo, 11, was another champion racer. He started the weekend off by winning the 50 fly time trial with a time of :34.69. Jacob won a gold medal in 200 fly, finishing at 2:42.74. He also won 4 silver medals at the meet. Maggie Manning, 13, Shuswap Swimming’s PARA-swimming genius won four medals in her category. She took silver in 100 back, and a bronze in 50, 100 and 200 free. A determined young athlete, Maggie has her mind set on making the Canadian Paralympic Swimming Team for the 2016 Olympic & Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro,
