Harps, gowns, and lemonade
A2 Friday, January 17, 2014 Lakeshore News
It’s early Friday afternoon and two Thompson Valley Charter buses pull into the SASCU Recreation Centre parking lot. Bob Smith is driving one of the buses. He’s been driving trucks and buses for 47 years and this is the 4th year he has been driving the Kamloops Symphony to their out-of-town engagements. “They’re great,” he says as he is relaxing just 45 minutes before the performance. “They’re crazy and good.” Besides the obvious camaraderie, he appreciates their consideration of him. “We have to clean our buses and there’s no mess. It’s so nice.” He chuckles as he recounts one story. “One time we left the lead violinist behind. We pick him up in Dallas [just east of Kamloops] and I went right by. I called the second bus but he had already passed by. He saw the two buses go by so he went back home. I turned around and went back to Petro-Can and he showed up. He said, ‘I thought you had left me behind.’ I said, “We almost did.’” The musicians go through a complete rehearsal at 3 p.m. Naomi Cloutier (above), who plays harp and keyboard/piano for the symphony, doesn’t have to stay for the
whole rehearsal so she heads downtown. It’s a little break from a hectic schedule. “I also have a full-time job. I practice in the evenings. When I’m working on concerts, it’s 2-3 hours a night. We have concerts about once a month and those weekends are intense.”
In this night’s performance, The Magic of Vienna, she is playing the harp. Normally the women wear black, but in tonight’s show they wear beautiful coloured gowns. While this makes it more fun for the ladies, surrounding colours are an important consideration for the harpist. “Some of the harp strings are red, some are black and some are clear and looking through the strings [if someone is wearing red or black] it can neutralize the appearance of the strings and make it more difficult.”
www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca
friends&neighbours The musicians come from various by Leah Blain
places besides Kamloops; some live in the Lower Mainland, some in the Okanagan, two from Salmon Arm (Rhiannon Nachbaur Schmitt and Susan Whyte), and even one from Lethbridge. Naomi lives in Kamloops but she is originally from central Alberta. “My husband started the Adventure Guide Program in Kamloops at TRU [Thompson Rivers University] in the early 90s, and so we moved to Kamloops.” Naomi says the musicians like going out of town and they especially enjoy coming to Salmon Arm. “One thing we really appreciate is the hospitality. There are a group of ladies – a wonderful group of community volunteers who provide us with coffee and snacks and dinner. It’s so nice, it really contributes to our time here.” Bob also mentions the food. “It’s homemade,” he says with a tone of appreciation. About an hour before the performance Naomi tunes her harp. “There are 47 strings and they have to be tuned individually. It’s time-consuming.” By 7 p.m. the foyer at the Rec Centre is busy. Sabine Bukmeier, 4, and her brother Cole, 7, are coming to their first symphony, dressed for the occasion (right). The musicians are tuning their instruments and at 7:30 they stand up as their conductor, Bruce Dunn, comes on stage. As the audience bursts into applause the eager anticipation is almost palpable. The host, Rod Michell, explains the music selection and much of the narrative for the night’s performance were devised by Otto Lowy, host of CBC Radio 2’s
Transcontinental program. The evening, the music, the narration is, in a word, magical. The music of Strauss, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert comes alive in a way possible only in a live concert. During the intermission Sabine is excited to talk to Rhiannon because Rhiannon has a beautiful blue sparkly flowing gown. But there’s something even more exciting than a princess ball gown. “There’s lemonade,” she says referring to her favourite part about being at the symphony. “It’s true,” says Cole, pointing, “over there.” Music is, apparently, an acquired taste.

Young readers gathered into the back of a pickup last Saturday at Salmon Arm GM to help kick off this year’s children’s book drive. Organized by the Literary Alliance of the Shuswap, the campaign aims to have donors give their gently-used children’s books and “jam” them in the back of the GM. The books will then be sorted and distributed to local children’s organizations. Donations can also be made at any of the following locations: Salmon Arm GM – for the month of January; the Mall at Piccadilly – from January 27 to February 2; and at the Sicamous Eagles Game on Sunday, February 2.

Embracing diversity
Shuswap Settlement Services Society, along with their community partners, has undertaken to host a community symposium dedicated to enhancing our community’s capacity to embrace diversity. Traditionally, the model for achieving social change has been a retributive approach that seeks to establish blame and to lobby others with the authority to impose change.. The Mandela Symposium Respect Lives Here” will introduce participants to a restorative approach which promotes taking accountability over placing blame, making a personal commitment over finding excuses, and building community over seeding discontent. Shuswap Settlement Services has been quietly working, in conjunction with other community partners in the Plan B:E Society, exploring civil forms of community development that are more inclusive and respectful. The work of Peter Block’s, in particular his book Community: The Structure of Belonging reflects a powerful approach to shifting how we engage in community. Block extols the power of conversations in small gatherings between individuals of diverse interests but committed to a common goal can have in bringing about significant change. The symposium includes a public presentation by Charles Holmes. Charles is a co-founder and a parttime associate with the Learning Strategies Group in the Faculty of Business at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. He helped the establishment of the Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education. He works very closely with Peter Block in creating conversations amongst many diverse groups. The presentation is open to the public and will include a virtual appearance by Peter Block.
Charles Holmes’ number one interest in helping groups is to see the potential of what they might be able to create together; to acknowledge, but not be constrained by the past, and to explore opportunities for working together toward a common future. The following day, Charles Holmes will facilitate a workshop coaching participants in the art of facilitating small group gatherings in a manner that engages the marginalized, builds community, respects differences, promotes personal accountability and fosters personal commitment. The workshop is limited to 60 registrants on a first-come-basis. Individuals wishing to register should email someroses@shaw.ca or phone 250-804-2726. The symposium is dedicated to the memory of Nelson Mandel who championed: the power of the individual to bring about change, the need to reach out to those who are socially marginalized, and to acknowledge and reconcile past injustices without abandoning a better future. “Respect Lives Here” takes place in the auditorium of First United Church. The public presentation starts at 7:30 p.m. on the evening of Wednesday, March 5th. The workshop goes from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 6th. The workshop is limited to 60 registrants on a first-come-basis. Individuals wishing to register should email someroses@shaw.ca or phone 250804-2726. The symposium is made possible, in part, through funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia made available through the Thompson-Okanagan Respect Network.

Body odour
Body odour generally refers to odour when sweat and naturally-occurring bacteria on the skin produce an unpleasant smell. Emotional stress, Salmon Arm nervousness, spicy foods, coffee, certain metabolic disorder and synthetic fabrics can increase body odour. We all know that regular bathing decreases body odour.

by Dr. Warren Gage
Custom foot orthotics
In the reception area of our office we have a display of various foot orthotics. Many times, new patients will notice this display and ask us for information. Often they are wondering why chiropractors would offer something like custom foot orthotics when we are “Spine Doctors.” In our discussions we explain the importance of proper foot mechanics to sustain and maintain proper spinal health and function. People never stop to think about the importance of supporting the “foundation” of our entire bodies, so let me explain. Some of the most common biomechanical problems with the feet can place a large amount of stress on the pelvis and spine. When someone has very flat feet, their arch has dropped. This causes their “normal” stride (gait) to change. If you know someone with flat feet, ask them to walk away from you and then towards you and you will see how their knees usually swing inwards with each step. Alternatively, look down at your own feet while you walk, and you should see your knee cap pass over top of your big toe. If it swings inwards or outwards there may be a foot problem that needs to be addressed. Once a person’s arches have dropped, other problems will begin to arise. Bunions are a recurrent complaint and do commonly develop over time. They can be recognized when the main knuckle of the big toe becomes prominent and the toe begins to angle towards the other 4 smaller toes. A custom designed foot orthotic will often greatly reduce the pressure on this joint. Foot problems that can benefit from properly fitted orthotics are issues such as plantar fasciitis (pain in the arch or heel), chronic low back problems, sciatica, and knee pain. Chiropractors are trained to assess the entire structure of a person from the spine downward and the from the feet up. Finally, I should also mention that most extended health plans recognize the importance of proper foot mechanics in relation to overall health and function. Because it is such a “health issue,” most extended benefit plans will completely cover a pair of orthotics each year. To learn more about the importance of proper foot and spine function call Dr. Gage at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224 for an assessment today.

New pastor at Living Waters
By Ruth Trekofski Sunday, January 5th was a day of commemoration when David St. John was inducted as Senior Pastor at Living Waters Community Church. The retiring Senior Pastor Norvil Bremnes was present and gave his blessing at the induction. Norvil, his wife Lillis and their three children moved from Kamloops to Salmon Arm in 1989 and founded Living Waters Community Church. Over the years services were held in various locations such as the Shuswap Live Theatre, a room at the back of the Scotia Bank, the Salmar Classic Theatre and the Hideaway Liquor store, just to mention a few. Presently we meet at 180 Lakeshore Drive, previously the old Newnes shop which was renovated in a joint effort by Mr. Newnes and the Living Waters Community Church congregation in 2004. Tragedy struck the Bremnes family on September 14th, 2006. Lillis, Norvil’s wife and mother to their three children Darcon, Daniel and Darla, was instantly killed at the intersection of Alexander and the Trans-Canada Highway. A semi-trailer failed to stop at a red light and hit Lillis’s car. It was a terrible loss, not only for the Bremnes family but for the church family as well. Through this crisis Norvil continued to faithfully pastor the congregation. David St. John emigrated from England in 1990 and began attending Living Waters Church. Over time David became more and more involved with the church and accepted the part time position of Associate Pastor at Living Waters a few years ago, but continued to work part time
for Interior Health as well. David’s wife Donna faithfully supports him in his new role. They have three boys, Benjamin, Matthew and Joshua who spent their teen years growing up in Salmon Arm. Their daughter Esther is now married and living in Hong Kong and has recently given David & Donna a beautiful grandson. On Feb. 14th, 2009 Norvil married Leticia (Letty) Blackburn, a widow with four grown children. Letty, of Mexican ancestry, worked as a Spanish/English interpreter in a court of law in the state of Oregon. Letty’s youngest daughter Fay moved to Salmon Arm with Letty and is studying for her degree in Music at the University of Victoria. Norvil and Letty have been commissioned by the church to serve as full time missionaries to Equator and will soon be moving there as full time missionaries under the auspices of the ACOP and the Living Waters Community Church. In the above picture David St. John was inducted as Pastor of Living Waters in the presence of several out of town guests representing the Apostolic Church of Pentecost (ACOP). January 12th will be Norvil’s last Sunday at Living Waters after twenty-four years of faithful service as Senior Pastor. Though we will miss Norvil and Letty as strong leadership roles in our congregation, we are excited to see them embark on this new missions endeavour. We at Living Waters welcome David St. John as our Senior Pastor. We are looking forward to the ministry of both David and his supportive wife Donna.
Letters to the Editor
Snow clearing along Lakeshore Drive
For the third consecutive winter, I have been out shovelling the drain area on the south side of Lakeshore to the Alexander intersection. When the city workers plow, it seems they often block the storm sewer. Snow melts, the curbside fills with water, and customers must leap over three foot-wide expanses of water to reach the curb. Pedestrians of all ages are challenged in crossing the ‘lake’ at the Alexander and Lakeshore intersection. I have phoned the DIA, and the City in past years, with temporary solutions to the problem – at least
until the next snowfall. Why am I concerned? For the same reason the City should be if customers cannot reach the stores–the stores cannot afford to pay their staff and eventually are unable to pay their taxes, and no taxes paid equals no pay for the city workers. Winter only happens once each year, and surely there is a way to prevent the same problems from recurring each and every year. All we need now is another underpass that will flood. Margaret Davidson, owner, Spirit Quest Books, Salmon Arm

ASHES SCATTERED OVER WALMART
While searching through my computer files over the holidays, I found this misfiled item from the March 3, 2006 Sidewalk Superintendent column: An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Walmart. “Walmart?” the preacher exclaimed. “Why Walmart?” “Then I’ll be sure my daughters will visit me twice a week.”
“WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE A WALMART GREETER?”
That’s the question CBC Radio’s Leah Shaw asked me when we visited at a home show in Salmon Arm’s Shaw Centre last year. I replied that I was 65 when Walmart began looking at property in Salmon Arm, so I began writing in my column that I will retire from this paper when I can be a Walmart greeter. I wanted the job because most greeters are retired people. Who else was hiring 65-yearolds 10 years ago? The job was easy, it was only four or five hours long, and only a few days a week. Everyone was friendly and customers coming in the door were happy. She replied: “I’ll interview you later on.” Walmart opened on November 8, 2013 and Leah interviewed several of us before Christmas. She and I sat in Askew’s Uptown deli for 20 minutes and she asked many questions. I was concerned about the noise from air being circulated above us and from customers and deli staff. She said she could work with it through ‘micing’ (microphone placement) and layering the background sounds. The 6:48-minute airing took place the morning of Jan. 2, 2014. To hear it, go to www.cbc.ca/radio and search for Salmon Arm after Walmart. I was impressed! Being a newspaper person who uses a cut-and-paste method, I wanted to know who and how the interviews were put together. Leah wrote back: “I have produced radio segments like this for about 17 years. I use a multitrack editing program to cut and mix the interviews.” That’s so interesting!

NO FLU SHOT FOR ME! I TAKE SELENIUM
I travelled to Alberta last week, where the H1N1 flu was spreading and many were lining up to get a flu shot. The flu was spreading to BC. I take Selenium, a natural immune booster, in capsule form. Rather than getting a flu shot, I increased the dose to two capsules a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
NEW MARRIAGE PROPERTY LAW PROPOSED FOR FIRST NATIONS
Victims of domestic violence on many First Nations reserves had no legal recourse to keep their abusive partner out of the home they shared if the partner had a share in the house. Nor was there a legal obligation to split the assets of many First Nations’ couples whose marriage or common-law partnership ended because of death or divorce. The federal government is attempting to change all that. On Dec. 16, 2013 it introduced the Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act. The Indian Act, which governs reserve life, does not mention marriage property rights, either. The new law gives First Nations communities one year to create their own marriage property rights, or have new federal legislation, which splits assets equally between partners, imposed upon them.
A WEEKLY COLUMN ABOUT A WARTIME NOVEL
My friend Elinor Florence, a former newspaper owner in Invermere, has written a wartime novel called Bird’s Eye View. It will be ready for distribution on Oct. 25, 2014. www.elinorflorence.com. It is a historical novel, the story of an idealistic young Canadian woman who joins the air force in the Second World War and becomes an aerial photographic interpreter in England. Elinor has been asked to write a weekly blog.
WHAT IS A BLOG, ELINOR?
Elinor Florence replied that a blog comes from web log and is just another name for an old-fashioned newspaper column except it appears on the internet. Her Toronto publisher has asked her to write one to build readership for her book. Her weekly column (blog) about Canada at war is called Wartime Wednesdays. In it she talks about interesting wartime incidents and anecdotes that did not make it into her book. She uses lots of photos. If you are interested in history, you can read it in two ways, just like Sidewalk Superintendent: go to Elinor’s website every Wednesday morning to read the new column (blog), or go to www.elinorflorence.com/blog and enter your email address so it will go to you by email every Wednesday morning. You’ll find an interesting story about her dad’s best Christmas: 1945.
KAMLOOPS DAILY NEWS CEASED PUBLISHING
I have some history with Kamloops Daily News and I am sorry it published the final issue on Saturday, January 11, 2014. Before I started this paper in 1975, I was mentored by Harry Frances, who owned the Kamloops News at the time. This paper was printed on his press for a few years. It is difficult for a newspaper to be profitable when its staff is unionized and wages are above-average. Also, as presses and other equipment are computerized, unions

EXCELLENT WINTER TRIP TO ALBERTA
My trusty SmartCar and I took a five-day winter holiday and travelled to Kamloops, Edmonton, Calgary, Revelstoke, and home. As often happens for me, everything went well. The roads were clear, the heavy snowfall on the Rogers Pass did not start until I got to Revelstoke, and I didn’t get the H1N1 flu virus that is spreading in Alberta. I didn’t kiss anyone, just hugged relatives aged five to 86. I stayed in a different hotel each night, and learned to make a reservation a week ahead because many Alberta hotels fill with oil and gas workers. Instead of calling each hotel, I use hotel booking agencies like www.hotels.com and www.booking.com. I make a reservation for a certain hotel, give my name, address, phone number, email address, and charge card number. The agency reminds me of the registration a few days before. When I get to the hotel, I am already checked in. The clerk takes an imprint of my charge card and has me sign in a few places. That’s it! When I get home, there is an email questionnaire asking me to rate my stay. The feedback is collected for the hotel. If I take another trip in six months and use the same agency but a different hotel, all my information is there. More about my travels in the coming weeks.
INSUFFICIENT SIGNATURES ON COUNTER PETITION
A preliminary count of counter petitions indicates the city will be proceeding with a 10-year lease agreement for property intended for use in the construction of a Ross Street underpass. As part of an alternative approval process, the public had until Jan. 10 to submit 1,361 counter petitions to stop the city from entering the lease agreement. At the regular council meeting on Monday, Chief Administrative Officer Carl Bannister said the unofficial number of petitions received was 1,325, adding several will be disqualified for not meeting the stated criteria.

insist on keeping the same number of employees. Within the past five years Kamloops Daily silenced its press, laid off the printing and flyer-insertion employees and had Vernon’s non-union Morning Star do the work. Three months ago, Kamloops Daily laid off its unionized advertising production staff and contracted the work with India and Philippines. With no where else to cut, owner Glacier Media announced the closure of Kamloops Daily. Thirty-four full-time staff, members of Media Union of B.C. have been laid off, as well as 12 contracted delivery drivers.

Christmas Contest winner
Well, 2014 is off to a good start. The “Killer Plant” hasn’t eaten the new mayoral candidate or his little brother and we have a winner of our annual Christmas Contest. As hard as I try it seems we can’t stump everyone. Remember, the fun for me is to making the rules and clues as hard/unfair as I want them to be. In fact, it brings me a great deal of Christmas joy to know you are all labouring in vain over my contest while I sit back and gnaw on a turkey leg. This year Clara Brook reclaimed her title as Mall Arkey Contest Champion. Once again I couldn’t stump her with my red herring clues. Actually, if you read my articles regularly the red herrings are not so “red” after all. So it can’t be all that unfair! Here are this year’s answers: 1. 3 = M (Musketeers) 2. 12 = BMS (Buckle My Shoe) 3. 39 = ASH (And still holding) 4. 1 = LN (Loneliest Number) 5. 4 = LC (Leaf Clover) 6. 5 = S (Senses) 7. 13 = BD (Baker’s Dozen) 8. 2 = HABTO (Heads are Better than One) 9. 40 = MAJA (Mall Arkey Junior Age) 10. 110 = CHSL (Coquihalla Hwy Speed Limit) 11. 3 = TAC (Times a Charm) 12. 9 = ASITS (A Stitch in Time Saves) 13. 6 = FU (Feet Under) 14. 2 = BSOAL (Bricks Shy of a Load) 15. 15 = MOF (Minutes of Fame) 16. 23 = S (Skidoo) 17. 44 = YOJCA (Year of Julius Caesar’s Assassination) 18. 30 = TTT (Three Times Ten) 19. 16 = OIAP (Ounces in a Pound) 20. 9 = LVBS (Ludwig Von Beethoven Symphony) 21. 1 = GTDA (Good Turn Deserves Another) 22. 76 = TLTBP (Trombones Led the Big Parade) 23. 7 = BFB (Brides for Brothers) 24. 1 = FOTCN (Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest) 25. 308 = SIP (Seats in Parliament) I am already starting to come up with my red herrings for next year, so watch out!

Thank you from the Sorrento Food Bank
We at the Sorrento Food Bank appreciates the year-round support we receive from the communities. The support during the past Christmas season was overwhelming! A very special thank you to the White Lake Fire Department and the South Shuswap Fire Department, who organized special events, collecting food and funds. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the CPR Holiday Train Event at Notch Hill on December 15. Support from community organizations, churches, schools, local busi-
nesses, clubs and individuals made it possible for us to make Christmas a happier time for forty-three families in our communities of Notch Hill, Sorrento, Eagle Bay, Blind Bay, Balmoral and White Lake. A special thank you to those who assembled hampers, wrapped gifts and those who delivered the hampers. It is through generosity such as this that we are able to continue to make a positive difference in the communities where we live work and serve. Verna Nitsche, Secretary of Sorrento food Bank
Loans to be made available to Shuswap small businesses
When they said good things come in small packages, they weren’t kidding. In the recent BC Small Business Profile report issued by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training it was highlighted that nearly 386,000 small businesses were operating in BC and they accounted for 98% of all businesses in the province. A staggering 82% of these small businesses were considered to be micro-businesses with fewer than five employees. The larger region gained notable mention for recording the fastest net growth (5.3%) in the number of small businesses between 2007 and 2012. Recognizing the importance of small and micro business on the local economy, Community Futures Shuswap has introduced a new Micro Lending Program designed to support owner-op-
erators to establish and/or grow their micro business in the Shuswap region. This new lending program offers loans of up to $10,000 with an easier application process and qualifying criteria. “Often times we see people who have a great idea to start up a small or homebased business, but they simply lack funds to bring the idea to reality,” says Joanne Mason, Executive Director at Community Futures. Sometimes a small investment of a few thousand dollars is all it takes to get a business off the ground, however. “If you don’t have savings or family to support your business idea, these great businesses seldom come to fruition.” “We are very pleased to be offering this streamlined micro lending program to our region,” says Community Futures Shuswap Chair, Charlotte Hutchinson,
“The concept is ideally suited for young people without a credit history or a stay at home mom or dad who has business aspirations and a great idea, but simply lacks the money to make it happen.” To launch the Micro Lending Program, Community Futures Shuswap will be holding two half-day workshops covering various topics related to starting a micro business. The Salmon Arm workshop will be held at Community Futures Shuswap offices on February 17th (9:30 – noon) and in Sicamous the workshop will be held on Friday, February 21 at the Work BC office. These workshops are open to anyone interested in starting or growing a micro business. Workshop space is limited. Pre-registration is required by calling 250-803-0156 ext 107.

Four-part harmony
Barbershop harmony is here at last! Seventy-five years ago, about 20 men got together in the rooftop gardens of a hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to “just sing for fun.” They enjoyed the experience so much that the Barbershop Harmony Society was formed, and it has now become the world’s greatest hobby, and the world’s largest allmale singing association, with members participating in barbershop harmony on every continent the world over. Over the past 75 years, the Barbershop Harmony Society has made tremendous strides in their techniques for learning music, so the ability to readily read music is not really necessary. All that is needed is the desire to sing together with a fun
bunch of guys! The nucleus of such a barbershop chorus has been formed in Salmon Arm, and they are hoping to increase their numbers by holding an evening of “Harmony and Fellowship.” So men, if you like to “sing in the shower,” you’ll love singing together with our fun bunch of guys on Thursday, January 30th at Askew’s Uptown Store’s Community Room! No obligations, no commitments, no strings attached! If you are unfamiliar with barbershop harmony, you are encouraged to view the many video examples to be found on the Society’s website at www.barbershop.org. Got questions? Contact Ron Long at 250-833-1972.

The day will be concluded with a visit to Mayfair Farms greenhouses where seedlings and planting are taking place.

DesignDilemmas by Linda Erlam
Trends for 2014
I have been saying, to anyone who’ll listen, that contrast is why a room feels small and cramped; it doesn’t have a lot to do with the colour of the walls. I think dark walls can make a room feel spacious, and white walls can make a room feel small and cramped; it all depends on the amount of contrast in the room. This goes against some pretty ingrained design beliefs and I get flack on occasion. Well, I have finally been vindicated by one of Canada’s design poo-bahs. Linda Reeves, publisher of “Canadian House and Home” magazine, was on Marilyn this week talking about the design trends for 2014. I hesitate to say “new” design trends because I haven’t seen a new trend in years, but I have seen a lot of recycled ones. She suggested, as the Number 1 Trend of the Year, that painting the trim the same colour as the walls reduces the contrast and can make the room appear larger and the ceiling higher. I bought the January issue of the magazine and had a quick scan. Their colour forecast seems to be more in line with the real world. I do love the Orchid colour-of-the-year from Pantone, but in all reality, I don’t know anyone who will use it in their
home. But the colours suggested in House and Home are gentle neutrals that will take us through a few years with ease. Like pale blue, soft sage, Dover white and a lovely chocolate-milk taupe. Lots of neutrals in the rooms, and thankfully, a serious lack of “pops of colour.” An ad for Kravet fabrics, the Sara Richardson collection, caught my eye. This gal is a master. The ad shows four different fabrics in proximity: a foot stool, chair, cushion and drapes. That’s four different fabrics all in the same colour-way, (which is a fancy-dancy way of saying colour scheme). The lack of contrast makes the little vignette appear seamless; but the fabrics are just different enough to add visual interest and bring the whole thing together without appearing to be “done.” My big deal of the moment is that my book is almost done. The writing and pictures are finished, now it just has to be formatted; hopefully that will be finished within the next few weeks. In conjunction with the book, I’ve spent a lot of time on the website, adding new pictures and making it look a bit snazzier. Better reflecting me and what I do, I think. Have a look.

Big cash prize for survey-takers

Hockey tournament successful By Lisette Stroo-Mayes This past weekend, we successfully hosted our Novice Hockey tournament in Salmon Arm with 4 of our home teams and 8 visiting teams from all over BC. The Salmon Arm White Wolves had a great weekend of games; every game was a close one and played with a lot of heart on both sides. The Wolves lost the first game, won the next 2, and ended with a very exciting tie-game to close up the tournament. Way to go, Wolves! The Salmon Arm Silver Speedsters had a fun-filled tournament weekend: Lots of laughs, face paint and team spirit. There was music in the dressing room to pump everyone up before the game, high
fives and lots of cheering in the stands from family and friends. Great team spirit, Speedsters! The Salmon Arm Mustangs also had a fantastic weekend of games; with each game, they played more and more as a team. They started out with a loss, followed by 2 wins and fought hard for a tie in the last game. Well played, Mustangs! Lastly, the Salmon Arm Sabres worked together as a well-oiled machine; they skated hard, took shots with a vengeance, and worked together to control the puck – and they won every game they played! Congratulations to the Mustangs. It was an excellent weekend of great sportsmanship, team effort and pure joy. Hats off to all of our novice teams.
Disappointed but hopeful, that is how president of the Hunters Range Snowmobile Association Karla Schubert feels about the 2nd annual New Year’s Eve Dinner and Dance fundraiser that was recently held at the Enderby Drill Hall. After lowering the ticket price from last year’s event, organizers still sold fewer tickets than expected, making it difficult to raise funds. However, those who attended the event had a great social evening. Decorations in black, silver and gold illuminated by white mini lights and candles, created a pleasing atmosphere for the celebration. Cook Shack Creations provided a delicious meal that was worth going up for seconds. The DJs of Microsound Systems had nearly everyone out of their seats dancing to the variety of oldies, rock and
country songs that were played. In addition, a silent auction and reverse draw for a Twin Anchors Houseboat trip gave the dancers a breather and added extra entertainment to the night. The New Year was brought in with a traditional countdown, champagne toast, tiaras and tooting horns, followed by the unveiling of the houseboat vacation winner. Gerald Freeman of Armstrong was the lucky individual. The celebration continued into the early hours of 2014. In hopes of making this event a successful fundraiser, the Hunter Range Snowmobile Association will give it another shot. A couple changes will be made to help advertise the event and increase attendance from the public, for as they say, “the more the merrier.”

What everyone’s reading...
The online survey will take about 35 to 40 minutes, eliminating the need for readers to spend long periods of time on the phone answering questions. “We are very excited to be part of this invaluable survey that looks at our readers’ shopping plans for the upcoming year,” says Black Press BC South president Bruce McAuliffe. “I am confident that this information will no doubt benefit both our readers and local businesses in all of our communities.” The Pulse Research survey has already been successful for businesses. In fact, one client took the results of the research to the bank and was able to secure a loan to expand their business, on the strength of the research. Among the benefits of the study is allowing businesses to identify niche areas of their business, including showing potential areas for growth or expansion. Check out www.pulseresearch.com/bcsouth to complete the survey and to enter the prize draws.

Pursuing the elusive cougar
www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca
The large, five-toed pad marks in the crusted snow said it all. Freshly laid, they revealed the big (tom) cougar that followed the small bull moose tracks up through rock bluffed timber. I stumbled upon them early last week while scouting out dead standing fir/pine, to drop and buck for firewood for some seniors a bit short of wood. It was just past the 112 road heading to Sicamous. It’s quit likely there’d be quite a battle, once the big cat jumped onto the back of the moose, and sank his teeth into its neck. Friend and trapper, the late cougar hunter Harold Grusen, of Malakwa, once told me about watching from a bluff looking down onto a poplar flat, and observing a cougar jump onto the back of a young moose, which it took down. An experienced big cat is successful in 80% of its attacks, puncturing a deer’s neck and severing the spinal cord. A moose has a shorter, heavy neck, making it more difficult. A large adult male cougar will weigh in close to 160 lbs, and it uses its weight to advantage. Cougars are perhaps the most proficient of predators. They are a moving machine made of 85% muscle, relying on stealth, timing, then speed to catch their prey. A fresh kill of a mule deer (their favourite prey) will last them a week; however, a female with kittens may stalk and kill several deer. Alan Frisby, a former game warden of Vernon, now deceased, recounted to me once, how a mom cougar near Lumby had killed 23 deer over one week, feeding little, but showing her kittens how to hunt. Depending on terrain and habitat of certain prey species, individual cougars may target specific animals. Harold, who trapped up the Akolkolex, up from Greenslide at Revelstoke, once told of an old tom cougar who took down mountain goats at about 19 kilometres. Deep snow brings the goats to valley bottom, where they are vulnerable. As our jet ranger chopper circled to fly up the North Thompson from Kamloops, on salmon counts years back, we spotted blood in a clearing atop Mt. Paul. Landing close by, and examining the kill, we found that the big cat was targeting mountain sheep rams, resting and weak after the rut. It would wait on a giant fir tree limb, above a well-worn sheep trail. But where there are cougars,
there will be the hardy types who pursue them, using trained hound breeds, being bluetick and redbone hounds, to smaller wiry German breeds such as the ones Harold had. These little guys never gave up, treeing or cornering a big cat, and sometimes being torn apart in the process. Jack Fast and Fred Chantler, both of the Enderby area, and who have both passed and are now chasing the big cats in the great beyond along with Harold once told me that a cougar that is treed and gets away, will be hard to tree again. Using dogs, both men pursued cougars during many winters, over tough terrain, steep canyons, and
shuswapoutdoors by Hank Shelley there is a growing population in the province of the big cats, mostly on Vancouver Island, and in the Kootenays. The trend follows a cycle with deer abundance or decline, similar to the lynx/snowshoe hare cycle. In nature, a predator like a cougar can live only if another animal dies. Too, with wild animals over time, the death rate must equal the birth rate; whether caused by man or nature. It’s an interesting paradox. I guess you could say: When a cougar takes down a deer to feed its family, do we mourn the death of the deer? Or be thankful the cougar and her kittens have survived another day?!
Here and there in the Shuswap
Shuswap River log jams. Once, one big male holed up in a hollow log, killing Jack’s lead dog instantly, as it checked out the log. Bust was one of conservation officer Kevin Van Damme’s favoured hounds, and was killed a couple weeks ago by a waiting, starved cougar, with a wire snare around its paw making it impossible for it to climb. As Bust, and second dog Boomer approached, it attacked. It was a very emotional time for Kevin and his fellow wardens. Most times, when the dogs are called off, and back on the leash after the cat is treed to prevent serious injury to the dogs, everything goes smoothly. This, after kilometres of tracking over mountains, valleys and rugged terrain. Most trackers use electronic GPS collars for their animals. Currently,
Ice fishing is a good pastime for most outdoor-minded seniors. Parents with young children are also enjoying the sport. We are fortunate to have lakes close by, stocked with sufficient rainbow trout, for all to get out in the fresh air. Currently ice conditions on most lakes have been slushy and wet. This cold snap, will make things hard and crusty. Hard to walk on. If going to a lake, bundle up in layers, or snowmobile suit, and good warm footwear. Tips: To find a spot to fish, check with other anglers on ice conditions. Measure the depth of the water by using a lead sinker, then come up about 18 inches to place your bobber. Westside Stores provides worms, mealies, maggots, and good advice on where to go. Before you leave the house, go on the internet, on solar tables, to find the best fishing days. For the travelling sportsman or gal heading to Calgary or Edmonton, why not plan your trip around the Calgary Boat & Sportsmen’s Show; February 6 to 9th at BMO Centre, Stampede Park; or in Edmonton, the Edmonton Boat & Sportsmen’s Show, March 13 to 16th at the Expo Centre, Northlands. Remember: have patience with all things including ourselves. It’s a matter of attitude and outlook. For us seniors, it may take a bit longer to get out of bed, walk the block, or eat a meal. But if we don’t have that old hustle, patience is virtue.

48th Show of Hearts
On January 25th and 26th, British Columbians will have the chance to show their hearts to children who have special needs. Variety – The Children’s Charity returns to the air on Global BC with the 48th annual Show of Hearts Telethon, its biggest fundraising event. Last year generous donors helped Variety raise over $7 million. “The Telethon is our signature fundraiser,” says Bernice Scholten, Executive Director of Variety. “Once a year we ask viewers to invite us into their living rooms to see firsthand the impact their donations make and ask them to support children who have special needs. Variety is about families supporting families and there’s nothing more powerful than that.” As with every Variety’s fundraising campaign, all funds raised at Variety and the Show of Hearts Telethon stay in British Columbia. In 2013, Variety provided grants to 1,277 families and also to 32 organizations offering specialized programs and services to children who have special needs. The funding paid for things like new equipment in hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Units, expensive life-saving medications, physical therapies, mobility and communication devices and educational
bursaries to special schools. According to Variety, $28,472 in grants have been provided to various recipients in the Shuswap since 2009. A total of $18,472 in individual grants have gone to 22 families: $12,541 for transportation & accommodation to out-of-community hospitals for premature babies or for treatment for other conditions; $573 for equipment for a child with a learning disability; $603 for orthotics for a child with spina bifida; and $2,500 therapeutic counselling for a child with a learning disability. In addition, in 2011, the Shuswap Hospital Foundation received $10,000 for an Infant Transport Incubator. The programming lineup this year includes performances by internationally renowned artists including Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, Elton John, and “Journey of Man,” a visually stunning celebration of life presented by Cirque Du Soleil. Complete program information is available online at variety.bc.ca. Watch your favourite Global BC personalities on January 25th at 7:00 p.m. to January 26th at 5:30 p.m. and make a pledge by calling 310-KIDS. Donations can also be made online at variety.bc.ca.

Save your city...build a snow fort
How can spending a fun few hours in the snow help you save your city? Building a snow fort is one idea. This great Canadian pastime isn’t just a fun activity for kids. Densely packed snow can help slow the flow of melted water to city sewer infrastructure during periods of heavy loads. Building your fort on top of your lawn can also encourage snowmelt to filter through the ground, rather than flow down streets, where it may pick up contaminants before entering sewer systems for eventual treatment. Patrick Evans, author of the children’s book Where the
Snow Goes, says changing the way cities manage snow can also contribute to significant energy savings. Right now, most Canadian cities spend millions each winter on snow removal, paying for trucks to haul heavy snow across cities to dumping grounds. “Montreal does the most snow removal in the world,” says Evans, who is also an environmental design professor at the Université du Québec à Montréal. “In 2006, the city’s snowfall was equal to more than $140-million worth of cooling energy. That volume of snow is just waiting to be

put in the right place. In Sundsvall, Sweden, for instance, a snow-cooling facility is used to naturally control the county hospital’s indoor temperature.” Evans says using snow to build forts or other sculptures on a broader scale can also play a part in building a stronger economy. “Making snow management creative and visible can define neighbourhoods. Tourists travel to see large-scale sculptures, for instance. Snow has tremendous potential to positively participate in city life.”

Sammy Dean Fillinger May 1, 1978 - November 4, 2013 We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of our son Sammy Dean Fillinger at his home in Kitimat, BC on November 4, 2013 at the age of 35 years. Sam was born on May 1, 1978 in Calgary, AB. In 1989, the family moved from Rocky Mountain House, AB and then onto 8 acres in Eagle Bay, BC. Sam worked in the construction and mining industry. Sam had a positive outlook on life and had the ability from an early age to always make people laugh. He had a likable, lovable character and was a true friend. He would always go the extra mile for those that he loved. We will miss our sweet Sammy. Sam is survived by his mother Diana ‘Dinnie’, stepfather Paul, sister Lisa, nephew Levi and niece Aliyah as well as all his loving relatives and friends. There is no formal service. Online condolences can be sent through Sam’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
