Chemical cleaners
The profession of chiropractic centers around the detection and correction of vertebral subluxation in the spine which interferes with the proper functioning of the nervous system. Subluxation is caused by physical, chemical and emotional stress. When excess stress is placed on the body, it begins to lose the ability to cope and adapt, leading to decreased health. The chiropractic philosophy of health and wellness has remained unchanged over a hundred years; however, in practice, chiropractic doctors have had to adapt and change with the progression of our society due to our ever-changing environment. The stress people face on a daily basis has increased exponentially from the late 1800’s to the present. Our chiropractic ancestors may have had an office filled with people suffering from the results of plowing a field behind a couple of horses. Today, previously unheard-of problems are becoming commonplace. Severe forward head posture in children and adolescents is a direct result from a lack of exercise and hours spent texting and playing video games. Many adults’ careers have become very sedentary; and for both children and adults, every day emotional stress levels are at an all-time high. The stress that has especially increased since the early days of chiropractic is found under the chemical category. To give you an appreciation of this, it is estimated that in the past 50 years more than 80,000 new chemicals have been created. This has an incredible impact on our health and that of the planet. Everything from the foods we eat, the homes we live in, and the personal care and cleaning products we use every day are loaded with a variety of different toxic chemicals. While there are unfortunately many chemicals from which we cannot avoid exposure, one very large way to reduce exposure to your family is through being more conscious about the cleaning and personal care products allowed to enter your home. I do not have the space in this article to go into all of the strategies to limit chemical exposures, but there are many excellent companies such as Norwex which sell alternative products designed to reduce chemical toxicity in the household. A terrific all purpose cleaning product (that is very inexpensive and non-toxic) is a vinegar and water mixture. If you are the person in your household who does the majority of shopping, be conscious of the amount of chemicals used within the family home. By shopping smarter, and keeping the health of your family in mind, you can significantly reduce the negative health effects of chemical exposure. For assistance with improving your health, call Dr. Gage at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224 for an assessment today.
Portable ultrasound device donated
The Shuswap Hospital Foundation Campaign has brought a number of wonderful surprises. Roy and Pamela Moor from Enderby truly gave from their hearts when they donated the funds to cover the purchase of the Echo Ultrasound Portable. This amazing diagnostic tool enables physicians to view the heart quickly and easily. Patients with cardio-pulmonary conditions now have rapid access to the portable ultrasound and this diagnostic tool is used daily. The Shuswap Hospital Foundation and Shuswap Lake General Hospital are
extremely grateful to donors such as Roy and Pamela Moor who are now Patrons of the Shuswap Hospital Foundation. The thoughtfulness and generosity of folks like Roy and Pamela Moor will help to provide assistance to heart patients in the Shuswap area. The provision of modern digital equipment improves the quality of analysis as well as patient care and comfort. Above: Dr. Scott McKee, centre, demonstrates the Echo Ultrasound Portable to donors Roy and Pamela Moor. Photo contributed.

Low glycemic index (GI) food
A diet with a low to moderate Glycemic Index or GI is important in the treatment and prevention of a disease like Syndrome X. Syndrome X is also known as the metabolic syndrome, which refers to a cluster of risk factors. People with metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of coronary heart disease and other diseases related to plaque buildups in the artery walls (e.g., stroke and peripheral vascular disease) and type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, this syndrome is most common among populations in Canada and United States and appears to run in families. Metabolic syndrome also is known as insulin resistance syndrome. Prevalence of the syndrome increases with age, but it can easily develop in children as well. There are no well-accepted criteria
for diagnosing metabolic syndrome. The American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute recommend that metabolic syndrome be identified as the presence of three or more of these components: • Abdominal or “central” obesity (waist size of greater than 40 inches in men, greater than 35 inches in women) • High levels of triglycerides (fats) and LDL (bad) cholesterol • Low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol • High blood pressure (greater than 130/85) • Diabetes - blood glucose greater than 100 mg/dl • Insulin resistance Syndrome X, when diagnosed early, can be slowed in some cases (continued on page 5)

Christmas bird count Old-fashioned family Christmas
www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca
Friday, December 13, 2013 Lakeshore News A5
This year, the annual Salmon Arm Christmas Bird Count will take place on Sunday December 22nd. This is the 114th annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count. Each year over 70,000 volunteers in 2,300 locations in the Western Hemisphere will mobilize between December 14 and January 4 to count all the birds they see. Birds are an early indicators of environmental threats to habitats shared by all and the count helps research scientists understand how birds are faring. “Data from the Audubon Christmas Bird Count are at the heart of hundreds peer-reviewed scientific studies” and help informed officials make decisions in resource developments. The Shuswap count begins at 9:00 a.m. and covers a 15 mile circle cen-
tred in Salmon Arm. Each of the four quadrants is covered by a group of birders lead by a knowledgeable team leader. At the end of the day participants meet at the Seniors’ Drop-in Centre opposite the Art Centre on Alexander Street for coffee and goodies, and for the tabulation of the day’s count. If you prefer not to leave your home, you can count birds at your birdfeeder or in your backyard, phone in your numbers to Gary or Darleen at 250-832-4171. To find out more about the local count, please contact Ted at 250-8324755. For more information about the Audubon Christmas Bird Count, visit http://birds.audubon.org/get-involved-christmas-bird-count-findcount-near-you.
Come down to the Mall on Saturday, December 14 and enjoy the OldFashioned Family Christmas event from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. There will be free outdoor sleigh rides, strolling carolers, musical entertainment, wreath-making and children will enjoy the library story time and
old-fashioned craft making. Come and help Mrs. Claus finish her Christmas to-do list! For great shopping and holiday fun make your choice The Mall at Piccadilly! For more information contact the mall administration at 250-832-0441.

Glycemic index
(cont’d from page 4) and the condition can even be reversed by a change in life style. This may include losing weight, eating a balanced diet with low Gl food, and regular physical activity. The GI is a scale that ranks carbohydrate-rich foods by how much they raise blood glucose levels compared to standard foods. The standard food is glucose or white bread. Low-GI food (less than 55) produces a gradual rise in blood sugar that’s easy on the body. Foods between 55 and 70 are intermediate, while foods with highGI numbers (more than 70) make blood sugar as well as insulin, causing levels to spike fast, which is harmful for health. Low GI food helps to regulate the blood glucose level, lessens the appetite and lowers the risk of getting type 2 diabetes. With the help of using a low GI food (and diabetic medication) a diabetic person has a much better means of regulating blood glucose levels, hence preventing the risk of these complications. Further more, this type of diet also helps to lower the risk of heart disease and ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol. For list of low GI food visit www.diabetes.ca.

RETIRED RCMP TECHIE GETS SCAM CALL
Criminals are calling. Do not fall for a caller who says your computer software has a problem and he can fix it. He says he is from the Windows help and support team. Tom Harris of Blind Bay, a retired RCMP technical operations person, warns that once criminals get inside your computer, they can see all your messages, credit card information, etc. They can steal your identity. Tom writes: “I asked the foreign-sounding person where he was located and he stated Las Vegas, Nevada. He wanted me to allow him into my computer and he would fix the software. I asked him about Windows software updates and he said that wouldn’t fix it, the problem had to be fixed manually. I jerked him around for almost half an hour and he started yelling at me and hung up. His ‘supervisor’ called back to apologize and tried the same tricks. He asked me what it said on my computer and I stated Apple and he hung up.” Tom warns: “Once they get into your computer they erase your restore points and have full control of your computer, then demand payment to unlock it. And I assume in a few weeks they can go back in and do it again if you don’t get it repaired... a very lengthy and costly procedure. People in the Shuswap area have recently been ripped off by these criminals. This is the most intrusive computer scam that I have seen.” Read Microsoft’s warning about this scam: www.itguyswa. com/computer-ransom-lockout-scam
WHAT IS THE BEST HOME SECURITY SYSTEM?
Last week I asked for suggestions for the best home security system. Skylar Plourde, who works for Salmon Arm Security, wrote: “My experience is that it’s best to have an alarm system that is monitored 24/7 and then to also sign up with a local security company for alarm response service, as it is not the RCMP’s priority to respond to alarms.” www. salmonarmsecurity.ca
FIRE DEPARTMENT CELEBRATES 100TH ANNIVERSARY TODAY
At the beginning of 1900 there had been some sort of fire protection in the one square mile that was the City of Salmon Arm, but the men decided it was time to formalize a City Fire Brigade. They bought a minute book and called a meeting for Dec. 13, 1913. Firemen passed several motions about the next step, and then the brigade was formed as part of city council. Mayor R.K. Scales became chairman of the formative meeting and minutes were recorded by G.J. Shirley. Bylaws were written and insurance coverage was decided for the men when they are fighting a fire. The pay for the fire chief and foreman were set. Fire practices were held on Friday evenings. (In 1923 they were moved to Tuesdays and that is when they are still held.) After the meeting ended, the min-

FOUR GENERATIONS OF SHIRLEY FIREFIGHTERS
The Shirley family has kept Salmon Arm’s volunteer fire department working efficiently. It runs in the family. 1913 to 1943 George J. Shirley was in the City Fire Brigade. 1949 to 1989, George’s son Pat Shirley served as firefighter, mechanic, then deputy chief and chief of Central Hall, then deputy chief of all four halls. 1975 to the present, 2013, Pat’s son Jim Shirley has been a member of Hall 3 downtown and currently serves as captain. 1982 to the present, Pat’s son Brad Shirley started with Central Hall 3, served as lieutenant, career training officer and fire chief for the past six years for the four fire halls in Salmon Arm: Hall 1 Canoe, Hall 2 South Broadview, Hall 3 Downtown, and Hall 4 Gleneden. 1993 to present, Greg Shirley, Pat’s third son, recently retired after 20 years of service at Hall 1 Canoe and Hall 3 downtown.
SENIOR RECEIVES HOCKEY SWEATER WITH “100”
When Reba Mayne Harper turned 100 in November, Salmon Arm SilverBacks hockey club honoured her at a game. Representatives came to her seat and gave one of their hockey sweaters with 100 on the back. You see, she was at the first SilverBacks’ game 13 years ago and has had season tickets every year since then. She rarely misses a game and now she wears her precious hockey sweater. Reba was born in Salmon Arm on November 16, 1913 to the Honey family. Until two years ago she lived with one of her daughters, Linda Painchaud, and did the cooking and cleaning. When she moved to Piccadilly Terrace, Linda had to learn how to do the work. Linda or her brother John Harper take her to hockey games.
CSRD PUBLIC HEARING INTO BLIND BAY RESORT
I attended the final public hearing into Dan Baskill’s plans to develop 19 beachfront sites near the Blind Bay waterfront and increase the marina from 55 slips to 70. There was standing-room only at the Cedar Heights Community Centre. More speakers were in favour than opposed. Although the ones opposed had good points, I believe the ones who were in favour were more convincing. Many said the development was needed and Dan was the one to do it, and the three amendments should be approved. Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s board will make a decision at its January meeting. This will be the end. Depending on the outcome of the meeting, it might be the end of the project.
CAN THE LAB UPHILL HAVE A SPEEDY LINE?
A senior woman who lives in her own home near Piccadilly has a dilemma. When she needs to get a blood sample taken at the lab that is across the highway from Askew’s Uptown, she takes a transit bus, enters the waiting room of the lab, takes a number, and sits till it is called. Sometimes an hour. After her blood is taken, she has to wait for a transit bus to make a stop at the lab and take her home. It could take her all day! I asked about having a blood sample taken at the hospital’s lab. She said it isn’t allowed, and she would still have to use the transit buses. She said the best would be if someone can provide a ride. I have another suggestion: seniors who rely on transit buses can be issued a pass that they can give the lab which would put them at the front of the line. Do you have a better suggestion? Call me at 250-832-4831 or write sallys1@ telus.net.

MANY GREY HAIRED PEOPLE AT PUBLIC HEARING
Speaker after grey-haired speaker said vacationing at Blind Bay convinced the family to move there many years ago. Now they want to sell their home but properties are not moving. Some speakers want the Blind Bay area to stay the same and others want it improved. One person didn’t want Dan Baskill to make money on this. A speaker from Kelowna who represented 300+ investor families who have funded the development said they believe in Dan and the proposal. The public hearing reminded me of the many meetings that were held over the SmartCentres’ proposal in the western part of Salmon Arm. I know Blind Bay will improve with Dan Baskill’s plan much the way the western part of Salmon Arm improved now that Walmart is open.

Changing financial institutions rekindled holiday spirit
As if the corrupt Duffy/Senate scandal isn’t enough to sicken us, I recently stumbled across the financial profit reporting, for Canada’s five major banks. Why is it, that the neverending, uselessness and theft of the self-serving Senate, (enjoyed by all governments), continually gets the attention from media, while the outrageous and gross financial piracy of the credit card and banking system go silent? I thought about the huge bailouts the banks received for their reckless and greedy ventures, creating a global recession with money they didn’t have. Reading the sentences that spelled out that thousands of employees would be laid off, at the end of their 4th quarter, in order to save money, made me grit my teeth.
I thought, “how disgraceful” it is to take away these people’s jobs, because the banking system is expecting a slow 2014, yet they post a record 29.25 billion dollar profit among them for 2013. This has a way of killing the holiday spirit and brings new meaning to “How the Grinch stole Christmas.” It’s not difficult to figure out how damaging this finacial crime is to the average citizen. There is not much an individual can do to control these greedy corporations; so, needing a little peace of mind for myself, I sought out an alternative that would free me from feeding this animal any further. I joined a local institution that offers a “no fee” account; offers very competitive interest rates; pays back, in cash, a per-
centage of interest paid for the year; offers great services and supports local charity needs. Plus, the profits they earn stay within the local economy. They were very easy to talk to and set me up the way I needed to be set up. I was amazed and had I known of this opportunity sooner, I would have made the move some time ago. If you folks are fed up with continuous bank fee increases, you’re not stuck with them – check out the competition and you may find the Robin Hood (without the stealing) of banking. It may not be the answer for everybody but for me, it gave back a little of that lost Christmas spirit. Bryon Every, White Lake

Mall Arkey’s annual Christmas stocking list
Can you believe it is December!? As soon as the weather started to get cold, Mall Arkey’s ol’ St. Nick darted south. As you read this, Ron is probably sitting under an umbrella, sipping lemonade and lathering up with sun screen. As for the hard-working Mall Arkey employees who are paying for Ron’s retirement, we are still waiting for you to come and fill our stockings. In years past we have gotten a quarter, the odd candy and even lumps of coal. We thank our three loyal readers for their generosity! Marianne continues to ask for lotto tickets (clearly I am not paying her enough). So after checking your tickets and realizing you are out of luck, drop your ticket into Marianne’s stocking. She said she also likes nuts. Now I know why she likes working for me! Corinne likes to cook so you can bring her your favourite recipe or perhaps even ingredients from your favourite recipe and then she can whip it all together right here in the office. You can never have too many treats this time of year.

by Daron Mayes Duma is growing quite the winter coat these days and has asked for a brush to comb her beautiful mane. Besides that, she likes furry little critters with an appetite for cheese. Despite being in Mexico, we do hang a stocking for Ron. (Not sure why?) He claims that when he was young, he got up Christmas morning to find his stocking filled with lumps of coal, small stones, and rotten fruit. Take your pick! It’ll bring back all those great childhood memories. As for me? Now that I am 40 I should turn down chocolates and ask for hair dye, but as I said before… “Why fight it? Embrace it!” So bring on the chocolate! So there you have it. Don’t be shy. It’s Christmas.

Curling Centre is a winter destination

learned that there are close to 600 members involved in various leagues and programs, both days and evenings, from the young to seniors. A large junior program involves many volunteers helping youth of about age 8 up to mid to late teens learn and develop their curling skills. A fun league on Friday evenings, with live music, highlights the social aspect of the sport. After my visit I can say that the Salmon Arm Curling Centre seems to be a great

Buy local this season mlareport
As we approach the Christmas gift-giving season, a common panic sets in—what to buy for loved ones and acquaintances? How about a gift that benefits not only the recipient, but the community? I’m talking about buying local, which is a great way to support our local farmers and artisans. Here in the Shuswap,
Mediema in Trinity Valley, which was also an eye-opener. The folks at both farms showed us how modern technology is helping to get their delicious products out to more people.

Family members spanning three generations have collectively more than 150 years of experience in the poultry industry. These visits spoke to the amazing knowledge, dedication, and hard work of our farm families who supply locals and visitors with high-quality goods. It was a great learning experience for us, but also a way for us to show our commitment to the local agriculture industry. There has been a lot of discussion recently about the BC government’s Core Review process, and whether it will impact the Agricultural Land Commission. Our Core Review is looking at the ALC to ensure it is set up to provide the best possible services, at the best possible value for taxpayers. Now and in the future, the ALC will continue to be an independent decision-maker and will continue to preserve B.C.’s best agricultural land for future generations. Our commitment to the Agricultural Land Commission remains strong. In last year’s budget, the ALC received an extra $4
million over three years to protect British Columbia’s farmland, including increased enforcement capacity. Government needs to continually look for opportunities to improve the delivery of services and ensure that they are meeting the needs of British Columbians – the ALC included. I hope we can work together to make that happen. In the meantime, buy local and enjoy a yummy holiday feast courtesy of our hard-working local farmers!

Give Shuswap Trail party tickets this year
The combination of growing regional greenway trails and having a whole load of fun has become something of a tradition for communities throughout the Shuswap each winter. Now into its eighth anniversary, the annual Shuswap Trail Alliance fundraiser dance and silent auction kicks into gear with tickets going on sale this week just in time for Christmas stockings. The $30 tickets help to secure the annual base funding needed to allow the Shuswap Trail Alliance to support trail projects with partners throughout the Shuswap. This year’s Shuswap Trail Party and Silent Auction is set to roll Friday, February 7th at the Salmon Arm Recreation Centre Auditorium. The perennial dance band favourite, Scarecrow, is booked, along with EZ Rocks, Patrick Ryley, spinning his DJ magic. And local foods will once again be featured, this year thanks to the talents of Blue Canoe Bakery Cafe. The call for auction sponsors is out inviting local businesses and leaders to get their name out on the auction tables. And tickets go on sale this week at Lakeside Insurance and Skookum Cycle and Ski in Salmon Arm. The event sells out weeks before the dance floor lights up the first Friday night of February. “We anticipate the same challenge as last year,”
says Trail Alliance chair, Winston Pain, who encourages everyone to nab their tickets early. “We were fielding calls for three weeks prior to the event telling folks there simply were no more tickets. We’d reached capacity. So stuffing stockings is a good way to guarantee a spot at the event.” “It’s a great problem to have,” notes Winston. “Support continues throughout all the communities of the Shuswap to see better connections made for walking, cycling, and all the self-powered ways to move.” The funding from both ticket sales and the silent auction, combined with private donations, ensure base costs of working with community partners are in place. This includes funding for insurance, tools, equipment, the ShuswapTrails. com website, the trail report hotline, and volunteer events. “We’ve seen an incredible transformation in support of trails and pathways over the last nine years,” says Phil McIntyre-Paul, Executive Director of the Shuswap Trail Alliance, noting that this past year saw over 40 regional partners work together to create more than 12,000 meters of new trail at 15 different locations around the Shuswap.

And the engagement of volunteers continues to grow through the efforts of regular volunteer events, the new trail report hotline, and the continued work of partner stewardship organizations like the Larch Hills Nordic Society, Shuswap Outdoors, the EQ Trail Association, and the new Shuswap Bicycle Society. “We’re excited with the emerging projects on the horizon for 2014,” says Winston Pain, which includes continued planning support with CSRD Parks, the City of Salmon Arm, the Village of Chase, the District of Sicamous, the joint commission of Enderby and the Regional District of North Okanagan’s Area F (Mara/ Mabel Lake Road), and the
four Lakes Division communities within the Secwepemc Nation territory. “We’re also very proud of our continued work with both BC Parks and Recreational Sites and Trails BC,” says Winston, acknowledging the recent recognition by Environment Minister Mary Polack of the Shuswap Trail Alliance partnership with BC Parks. Tickets are $30; pick them up at Lakeside Insurance or Skookum Cycle and Ski. To make a sponsor contribution to the silent auction and for info on the February 7th Shuswap Trails celebration call Winston at 250-804-6451, or email wpwinston2@gmail.com.

By Peter Kociuba The A&W Peewee Tier 3 SilverTips attended a tournament in Penticton last weekend, finishing 6th in a field of 14. Friday night saw the Tips in a tilt vs Castlegar. The opposition opened the scoring just a minute and a half into the game, but Salmon Arm wasn’t held off the scoreboard for long; Ty Bailey jammed the puck past the Castlegar goalie just one minute later. Matt Campbell and Dominic Barbosa would set each other up a couple of minutes later to each record their first of the game. Castlegar would claw back within one midway through the second period, but that would be as close as they’d come. Ethan Lans, and Barbosa with hat tricks, as well as Caden Sherman’s first of the tournament sealed the win for the Silvertips. Saturday morning’s game against Aldergrove was a bit of a different story for Salmon Arm. Although the good guys scored a pair to take a first period 2 goal
lead, the Bulldogs would tie it up late in the first and continue on to a 7-2 victory. Lans and Barbosa each scored for Salmon arm. The evening game against Arbutus finished with a better result for the Tips, as they pulled out a win in a 7-5 nail-biter. Arbutus would jump out to a 2-0 lead with time winding down in the first, but Captain Barbosa lit the lamp for the Tips to give the home crowd some life heading into the first intermission. Taylor Howard would snap a wrister past the Arbutus netminder a few minutes into the second, but the opposition would take the lead back 2 minutes later. A hard-working Henry Lenarduzzi would tie it up for Salmon Arm halfway through the period and Bailey would make the mesh ripple as the period began winding down. Arbutus continued the see-saw battle by ripping the puck past netminder Cole Salewski just one minute later and it looked to give them some life, but Lans on the breakaway with just 20 seconds left in
the frame help swing momentum back in the Tips’ favour. Again the opposition would tie it up early in the third, but Lenarduzzi’s second on a sweet feed no-look from the corner by Connor Kociuba on the power play, and Kociuba’s own marker just two minutes later would seal the win for the Silvertips. Unfortunately Sunday’s final for 5th place vs the Westside Warriors didn’t finish the way the Tip’s would have liked, as they fell 7-1 in their last game of the weekend, Ethan Lans picking up the lone marker for Salmon Arm. Madison Dewitt and Deion Anthony-Jules were twin towers of strength all weekend on D for the Tips, and Dewitt had this to say about their play: “I think we played well because we’ve been working on positioning. Practicing the Triangle really helped us”. Salmon Arm gets back to league play with a home game in Sicamous against Merritt and a roady to Kamloops this weekend.
Going to Grandmother’s
By W. H. Nicholls Around 72 years ago, we lived in the town of Burns Lake with my two sisters. We lived near the CNR railroad and at Christmas time, we would put my younger sister in a box on our sleigh. My mother, dad, older sister and I would walk seven or eight miles down the track to Grandmother’s
house. The centre of the tracks would be nice and flat. Once in awhile, we would have to step off for a steam engine to go by. Sometimes it would be 25 or 30 degrees below zero, but that did not stop us. My grandmother lived on a farm. She would always have lots of good sweets, which I
would overeat sometimes. My grandmother and grandfather lived in a log house, where we would stay for a few nights. It was kind of cold at night when the wood stove would get down low, but we all had a good time anyway.
For the love of a dog
For us kids growing up on a small farm in the Armstrong area, Christmas time was special. It wasn’t uncommon to hear the sound of sleigh bells out on the road, as Joe Moller and wife Pearl passed by in their single horse-pulled cutter on a star-filled evening. Dad made sure the mailman got a gift-wrapped flat of cigarettes (flat of 50 in those days) tucked in the mailbox, and our milkman Kenny Nash (later it was Mac McPherson), who picked up the cream cans in his ol’ GM truck, got a bottle of cheer. The rattle of the cans could be heard a mile away, as he came down the road towards our milk stand. It was not unusual then for it to be 50 degrees (Fahrenheit) below, and the fir and pine trees cracked like rifle shots up in the bush. Dad was one farmer who always made sure all our animals were well-fed and had lots of bedding. He had bought a small herd of Jersey cows from distant neighbour Ross Heighton, and of course they all had names. Woe betide the cow that got in the wrong stanchion at milking time, as they all had their spot in that warm barn, smelling of cows and hay. Each got their portion of oat chop, and as for milking, most was done by us, until we acquired a De-Laval milking machine. Wonderful rich cream always settled to the top of that two-quart jar, and it was used in Christmas cookies, mince tarts and other goodies. Rolly, a Shepherd mutt cross was always there to meet us at the school bus stop or wherever else we wandered, even hunting or fishin.’ Many neighbours had pets then, as like today. We had acquired him from a close neighbour who
also had an aging 14-year-old Labrador retriever named Abbey. It was a week before Christmas. Their 4-year-old daughter Meredith adored that dog. Then one day Abbey died. Next day, Meredith was crying, a n d
talking about how much she missed Abbey. She then asked her Mom if they could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. Her Mom Donna, thought it okay, so Meredith dictated these words: Dear God, will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday, and is with you in Heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog,
iar handwriting. Meredith quickly opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, “When a pet dies.” Taped to the inside front cover, was the letter Meredith and her Mom had written to God, in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey and Meredith and this note: Dear Meredith, Abbey arrived safely in Heaven. Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away. Abbey isn’t sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me, just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don’t need our bodies in heaven, I don’t have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I’m sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep, and have something to remember Abbey by. Thank you for the beautiful letter, and thank your Mom for helping write it, and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you. I send

even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls, and to swim. I am sending a picture of her, so when you see her, you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her. Love, Meredith. Donna and Meredith put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey, and hand-addressed it: G o d / Heaven. They put the r e t u r n address on it, then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to Heaven. That afternoon, they dropped it into the letterbox at the local post office. A few days later, she asked Mom if God had gotten the letter yet. Mom said she thought he had. Next morning, Meredith stepped onto the porch. There it was. A package, wrapped in gold paper, addressed; “To Meredith,” in unfamil-

The first session of the Cyber Seniors Computer Tutoring program came to a successful finish at the end of November. The 16 learners were awarded with a certificate of completion at the celebration luncheon held at the Senior’s Drop-in Centre downtown. The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society would like to thank the 13 volunteers who took time each week to help these seniors learn new skills and become more confident in their abilities to use a computer.
LASS is currently recruiting volunteers for the next eight-week computer tutoring session starting in January. Sessions are one hour per week at the Senior’s Drop-in Centre. If you are interested in volunteering please contact Jennifer Findlay at 250-833-2095 or lassloc@telus.net.

Dangerous Dog Control North Shuswap (Electoral Area ‘F’) A new dog control service for Electoral Area ‘F’ will commence January 1, 2014. The dog control service is limited to dangerous dogs. According to CSRD Bylaw No. 5669, a dangerous dog is “a dog that has killed or seriously injured a person, has killed or seriously injured a domestic animal or a Dog Control Officer has reasonable grounds to believe that a dog is likely to kill or seriously injure a person”. The CSRD has appointed a dog control officer who will respond to complaints in a timely manner. The dangerous dog control service does not include issues related to stray dogs, barking dogs, number of dogs or licensing of dogs. “There have been isolated incidents involving dangerous dogs in the North Shuswap, and the RCMP do not have properly equipped vehicles or facilities to deal with dangerous dogs.” says Area ‘F’ Director Larry Morgan. “A bylaw that addresses dangerous dogs allows a qualified dog control officer to respond to complaints of dangerous dogs in a timely manner and will provide the structure to respond when residents in the North Shuswap have concerns about dangerous dogs”.
PDF BW
The average annual cost to property owners in Electoral Area ‘F’ for the dangerous dog control service will be $3.16 (based on the average residential assessed property value in Electoral Area ‘F’). Dog Licensing is not mandatory in Electoral Area ‘F’; however, there are benefits to having a licensed dog. Dog owners can purchase a dog license for their dog on a voluntary basis. 2014 Dog Licences are now available at the following locations: • Park Store in Scotch Creek • Ross Creek Country Store • Sorrento Petro Canada • Blind Bay Country Market • Blind Bay Village Grocer • Eagle Bay Store • Critters Pet Supply (Salmon Arm) • CSRD Main Office The CSRD Dangerous Dog Bylaw No. 5669 is available for viewing at www.csrd.bc.ca/services/dog-control. For more information, please call the CSRD at 250.833.5950.

Lakeshore News travels to...
Nome, Alaska
Wendy Boyd and Phil Cloutier of White Lake went to a gold prospecting camp called “Cripple River” located twelve miles north of Nome, Alaska. It took them one and a half hours to drive up the beach of the Bering Sea to get there. They went past a lot of gold dredges working the sea, like the Christine Rose on the TV show “Bering Sea Gold.” They went for two weeks in early August, spending one week on the Bering sea prospecting the beach like in the gold rush of 1899; and one week at the tundra camp. Both were beautiful, remote and a unique experience. Wendy receives $10 for having her picture printed and is entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2013.

Loyalty point ban hits BC pharmacies
By Jeff Nagel, Black Press B.C. pharmacies are now banned from handing out loyalty reward points to customers for prescription drug purchases. The measure – effective Dec. 2 – is already drawing outrage from shoppers and has sparked a legal challenge from Canada Safeway and Thrifty Foods, both arms of the Sobeys group that offer popular loyalty card points. The College of Pharmacists of B.C. first proposed a ban in 2012 but shelved it amid strong public opposition. However, the college’s board re-examined the issue after the provincial election and unanimously approved the ban Sept. 20, arguing loyalty points are a powerful lure that can alter some shoppers’ buying habits and potentially harm their health. The bylaw prohibits various gifts, rebates, refunds and other incentives, not just loyalty points. The college says such incentives are inappropriate “kickbacks” to customers. “After careful consideration, the College still firmly believes that paying patients for prescriptions is unprofessional, unethical and unsafe,” it states on its website. The college argues some patients may go without their medicine until they can fill a prescription on a loyalty point bonus day. It also believes patients with third-party insurance who don’t pay out of pocket may keep refilling a prescription after they no longer need it just to collect more points. The college calls that a drain on limited health care dollars and says drugs not used by the intended patient may be abused by others or diverted to the illegal drug trade. It says paying customers a kickback undermines
pharmacists’ integrity and the credibility of the profession. “Patients do not expect to receive payments for other health services they receive, and drug therapy should not be the exception to that rule.” The college hopes a points ban will result in patients choosing a pharmacy or pharmacist on their own merits, not inducements. Some patients on Canada Safeway’s Facebook page said they may switch to closer pharmacies as a result of the ban on issuing Air Miles points for prescriptions at Safeway. Victoria senior Randy McEwen said he doubts anyone would delay filling prescriptions for the sake of a bonus. “Most Canadians are smart enough to make rational decisions,” said McEwen, who uses prescription points to fly his children in from Edmonton. “This ban discriminates the elderly and the chronically ill. Why would you let me collect points on gas or banking but not on prescription drugs?” Canada Safeway and Thrifty Foods were slated to be in court Tuesday seeking an injunction. They argue the incentives ban mainly targets larger chains and unfairly props up smaller independent pharmacies. “There is no evidence that incentives pose a risk to patient care or safety, or that they undermine the ethical conduct of pharmacists,” said the Sobeys petition in B.C. Supreme Court. Exempted from the ban are free or discounted parking or delivery services, and payment by credit or debit cards that generate loyalty benefits. Similar reforms have been enacted in Ontario and Quebec. B.C. has banned point awards on Pharmacare-covered prescriptions since 2011.
Cleaning and colouring Solutions&Substitutions
Dear Reena, Can you recommend a good cleaning product that removes grease off of kitchen cupboards? The cupboards are varathaned wood. Thanks, Rich Dear Rich, Mild dish soap and water is all that is recommended for cleaning the grease off of kitchen cupboards (just a damp clean cloth and no excess water, dry immediately). This should be very effective, since dish soap is created as a grease cutter. Dear Reena, I was painting and forgot to remove my wedding ring. Now I have dried latex paint all over my ring. What is the best homemade way to clean the ring? Elma Dear Elma, Soak the ring in 50/50 household ammonia and 3% hydrogen peroxide for 30 mins. Brush the ring with an Ultra Soft toothbrush and polish. Keep in mind that many jewelers offer free jew-
elry cleaning. Dear Reena, What is the purpose of adding food colouring to food? Do you have any suggestions for making natural food colours for cake icing? Leslie Dear Leslie, Do you remember a few years back when Pepsi created a clear cola called, Pepsi Clear? It didn’t last because people associate certain colours with particular flavour. Manufacturers add colour to food to make food look more delicious which is why oranges are sometimes spray painted to appear more orange. Since there is evidence that certain food colours elicit allergic reactions in people, the Canadian government has been working towards listing individual food colour ingredients on food labels so that the public can become more aware of what they are consuming. To make natural green food colouring, combine avocadoes
By Reena Nerbas
with a little lemon juice. For yellow, add a small amount of turmeric to your white icing. Pomegranate juice is great for making red, as are beets. And blueberries work well for blue icing unless pomegranate juice is added in which case icing becomes purple. Note: Be cautious not to add too much food colouring as you do not want runny icing. Fabulous Tips of the Week: • Polish stainless steel cutlery by rubbing it with the cut side of a raw potato. Wipe and polish with water. • Vinegar is the best for cleaning calcium deposits and scum in humidifiers. • Store cut raw onions in an airtight screw top glass jar. A cut onion will remain fresh for up to one week.
