major event.” Eugene attended a two-room school where one teacher taught 35 pupils in the junior grades and another taught the 20 high school students. When he was going into the sixth grade, Eugene’s parents sent him to a boarding school run by a religious order, the Oblates, where he received a classical education. “I didn’t enjoy the first year so much. I was the smallest guy there and there were 450 guys at the school. I learned to cope. There was sports and drama, and I sort of found my niche. I got into some acting but it was stage management that I really enjoyed. We would travel around southern Saskatchewan with our sports teams. I mostly played hockey; I was in
goal – I couldn’t skate well enough to play anything else,” he says, laughing. Eugene opted to graduate from the school in Tisdale so he transferred back. After graduation, Eugene wanted to go to university but it wasn’t economically feasible, so he tried a less expensive route – through the military. He signed up, hoping to attend a civilian university, but he was sent to Royal Roads Military College in Victoria. “I was there for the first semester until after Christmas. There were four of us who wanted out of there and we spent two months getting out. The military wanted us to stay in.” After his release, Eugene worked a couple of different jobs before heading back to Tisdale. “I worked as a Fuller Brush man, selling brooms door to door,” Eugene says, smiling as though he were still amused by the fact, “but that wasn’t the place for me.” Back home, he worked for a while in a garage and that’s where he met his future wife, Lorette. “She was from a town not too far away. We had friends in common and hit it off. She worked in the bank and
Fiber optics comes to town
Salmon Arm Economic Development Society is pleased to announce that the TELUS Fibre Optic Network is expanding to Salmon Arm and will be providing the option for over 90% of homes and businesses to connect to revolutionary new technology. Once connected, users will enjoy blazing fast internet speeds and increasing data transfer capabilities and homes will have access to advanced home entertainment experiences with OptikTV™. So how does this technology work? The TELUS Fibre Optic Network consists of flexible, transparent fibres of glass. Data is transmitted along these fibres as particles of light, allowing huge volumes of
information to move in and out of the community at the speed of light. Salmon Arm’s future is about to get even brighter, thanks to TELUS and the City of Salmon Arm, who have cooperated to make this development a reality. As Salmon Arm will be only one of a few communities in the province with this advanced technology, it will be established as a community of choice to live and work. Businesses will have access to the technology they need to operate locally and compete globally, including providing Salmon Arm’s health and education sectors the opportunity to innovate how they deliver services.
friends&neighbours by Leah Blain I’d see her going to work in the morning.” It was about this time Eugene took his first job in a hospital: “I started as an office clerk, then I went to accounting and did payroll, purchasing and stores. I was there six years and I went to another hospital, in Melfort, as assistant administrator and business manager. I did that for three years, then the administrator left and I got his position. I spent six years doing that. From there I applied for a job in Dawson Creek and spent 10 years there as administrator. It was a nun’s hospital and they were turning it over to a society. The first responsibility I had there was handling that, it was interesting and new to me.” As Eugene’s career was progressing, his family was growing as he and Lorette had six children; four boys and two girls. In 1982 Eugene got the job as administrator of Shuswap Lake General Hospital, a position he held for 15 years. Throughout that time, the goals and focus of health care delivery changed as different provincial governments were elected. “I retired in 1998. There was a regionalization happening and the powers-that-be were looking at getting rid of

administrators. At the meeting I looked around and I was the only one close to retirement age so I said, ‘Pick me.’” The following couple of years Eugene was involved in local healthcare in a different way – as a patient dealing first with cancer, and a stroke. As soon as he was able, Eugene was back to ‘work,’ volunteering with the Shuswap Lake Hospital Foundation which he had helped establish in 1986. As of September 28th, Eugene retired from this post as well, calling it quits after 55 years in the healthcare field. This past Saturday, there was a tribute dinner thanking Eugene for his dedication to the hospital and his tireless work to improve health services in the Shuswap. “They said a lot of nice things about me; it was kind of embarrassing.” Now that it’s all really over, he’s says he will miss the routine of putting on his shoes and heading to the office every day. “I’ll still put my shoes on in the morning,” he says with a smile, “but I’m not sure where I’ll go.”

Eugene Casavant is still getting used to the idea of having a little free time. Retirement doesn’t always come easy to someone who is used to putting in a lot of overtime, spending hours on committees, and weekends away from home. Coming from a French farming family in T i s d a l e , Saskatchewan, Eugene was brought up in a culture where play and work were basically one and the same and idleness wasn’t an option. “I was born on April 1, 1936, the 13th child. I was the youngest. We were a mile and a half from the nearest neighbours so we (brothers and sisters) were good friends. There wasn’t really time for ‘play’ – work and play were mixed together. We all had tasks; we were never without something to do.” Even during those difficult economic times, Christmas was festive in the Casavant household. “We would get one ‘toy’ which could be anything – usually homemade, and gloves and socks, something useful (those were homemade too), and usually we got one orange and a few candies.

Knee joint problems are getting more common these days. Preventions are better then cures so here are some simple things that are helpful. Mobility is very important. One may notice that knee hurts when standing up after sitting for long time. It is good to walk a little after sitting for more than one hour as this helps in increasing circulation. Stretching and relaxing muscles increases oxygen levels and keeps the knees healthy. Physiotherapist can prescribe few exercises that can keep knees healthy. What looks good may not be good for health. High heel foot wears look good but flat shoes or sandals are easy on legs, back and knee joints. A good pair of foot wear is that which can be flexed at the base of the great toe. Special care should be taken when you play sports that involve jumping and jerky movements by using cushion pads. These can reduce stress and strain on knees. Cushion pads are also helpful if you have to stand for long hours especially on concrete tiles or hard wood floors. Selecting a good chair is very important for the knees as well as for
proper back support. Knees should hang from chair in such a way that it makes 90 degrees at knee joint. People with short legs can use a rest stool of correct height to maintain 90 degrees at the knee and prevent legs from hanging there by reducing strain on knees. Alternately tall people can use a higher chair again to maintain knees at 90 degree angle. Knee joints experience less strain when they can move freely. For free mobility lubrication of joints is important. Drinking water is very important for the knees as it lubricates the joints. A balanced diet including calcium, magnesium and vitamin D is important for bone health including knee joints. There are lots of natural supplement and products available for prevention and to maintain healthy joints which I will write about in near future. Let these few simple tips help you to use your knees for a very long time to come. Enjoy the crisp fall days. Readers with enquiries may contact Kosha Vaidya via email at koshahealing@gmail.com.

Curry
Many people (including me) really enjoy eating a nice spicy curry, and research is now showing that eating some of these Asian dishes can actually be very beneficial to your health. The spice I would like to discuss today is curcumin, which is the orange pigment from the spice turmeric (the primary spice found in most curry dishes). Curcumin has been part of the Asian diet for centuries and a great deal is now known about the health benefits of this spice. Curcumin is a potent antioxidant that offers numerous health benefits including supporting joint health, cardiovascular function, and it helps to maintain the body’s normal inflammatory response. Recent studies are also finding it has a protective effect on the liver to guard against environmental toxins. Curcumin aides gall bladder function through improving the flow of bile and improves the body’s natural antioxidant abilities. One challenge to obtaining maximum benefit from this spice is that it is not easily absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive tract. However, researchers have now figured out ways to attach curcumin to healthy plant extracts called phytosomes so that it is absorbed more effectively and to maximize the health benefits. The resulting product from Thorne Research is named “Meriva” curcumin phytosome and it appears to be much better absorbed than other curcumin extracts. I personally have added extra amounts of curcumin to my daily glucosamine and MSM supplements in order to benefit from all its healthy properties. We now sell Meriva in our practice. If you are experiencing challenges with the health and function of your spine and joints, I would encourage you to call the chiropractors at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 8030224. Book an appointment today and see how spinal adjustments and supplementation of curcumin can help.

When Friday Bailey contacted me to let me know that the children’s bongo drums were going to be installed in the park, I was excited. Of course, I wanted to see them and hear what they sounded like after first hearing about them earlier this year; but I was excited because I knew that this was a project that was near and dear to the hearts of three early childhood education professionals and they would soon be seeing palpable results of their efforts. Under the direction of the Shuswap Children’s Association, Friday and her partners Trudi Hobson and Dawn Lee had applied for and received a $10,000 grant from Vancity Community Foundation that would allow them to install several percussion instruments for children and interpretive signage into the park next to the college. When I arrived on the scene to take photographs, I could sense the excitement of both Dawn and Friday who were there helping Salmon Arm’s Evening Rotary to install the colourful drums. The holes had been dug by the city in preparation, and the drums were inserted into the holes with concrete poured in to the manufacturer’s specifications. The Rotarians were busy making concrete and going back and forth checking the height of each drum, making sure that they were level as the concrete went in.

Friday stopped to chat with me for a moment as she took a break from the activity. A happy glow lit her face as she watched Dawn step up to a drum and smack it with her open palms to create a dramatic sound. I noted that the volume of the drum seemed just right – not so loud as to be disturbing to neighbouring houses, but loud enough to entice a child to stop and play for awhile.
Friday told me how they were glad that the Rotarians were there helping with the installation and that they had placed the drums in the best possible place in a quiet little corner of grass away from the houses on the street next to park. I think the location choice is excellent as the colourful drums really warm the little grassy area and invite people to come and enjoy it.
As she spoke of how they had gotten the project underway, she emphasized that she wanted people to know that you don’t have to be a city councillor or other government official to bring change to your community; rather, you just have to have an idea and put in a little effort, and you can achieve great things. She explained that she and her two partners were early childhood educators that just wanted to see children have an interactive place to play and learn in an outdoor setting. They want to provide an opportunity for children to experience hands-on discovery while in the park, and also to give children some fun ways to interact with nature. The women want to stress that their main goal is to “work to raise the awareness of the importance of play during the early developmental years.” This was merely the first step in the upgrade of the park, as they are designing the interpretive signage that will go up throughout the park, and in addition to the drums there would also be further installations of a percussion xylophone and the whale drum that has been lent to Roxy Roth for the winter for use in music therapy sessions with children. Next summer the clang of the horseshoes in the horseshoe pitch will harmonize with the gentle thump of the drums in the park next to it as yet another green space flourishes in Salmon Arm. Above: Friday Bailey checks to ensure the installed bongo drum is level. Below: Friday and Dawn Lee hold up the sign just prior to its installation next to the drums in the park.

A Silver Spotted Standard Donkey, Rosie arrived at the Donkey Refuge in August 2012. She had been purchased at an Animal Auction the year before however she did not fit in with the other animals at the owners farm. Rosie arrived overweight and with a highly elevated parasite count and was immediately put on a diet and a worming program. Rosie seems a bit withdrawn however she is a truly lovely donkey that will just need some time to heal from living in three different homes in one year. Rosie has been used to settle other new comers to the Donkey Refuge and has done a very good job of providing friendship to the new arrivals. Rosie is a sweetheart and you can’t help but fall in love with her when you look in to her eyes.

MANY CHANGES IN DOWNTOWN
I sense an energy and excitement in downtown Salmon Arm that I can’t recall being there in the 38 years since I left nursing and started this paper on Alexander Street. I enjoy walking and driving in the downtown core and admiring the storefronts. Up and down Hudson Avenue are improvements and new businesses. Alexander Street also has improvements. Much of the credit for both streets goes to Bill Laird. On the corner of Alexander and Hudson, across the street from CIBC, is a store that sells skateboards and outerwear for young people. It moved from near PJ’s Restaurant, and will bring a different clientele to the downtown. Businesses will be ready for an influx of shoppers who will come to Salmon Arm when Walmart opens in November.
TWO LIQUOR STORES MOVE THE SAME WEEKEND
Salmon Arm Liquor Store, formerly called Dixon’s and located across the street from Safeway, moved on Sept. 30 to Lakeshore Drive, into the area vacated by the Government Liquor Store in Shuswap Park Mall. It opened on Oct. 2 and has government liquor store pricing. Floor space is much larger than Dixon’s and the huge makeover will include 24 cooler doors, chandeliers, and doors to the outside rather than into the mall. Hours are the same as Dixon’s: 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week. The manager is Terri Jackson, with “the same wonderful staff.” The store is owned by the Heartland Group, a local and Kelowna-owned company.
B.C. LIQUOR STORE MOVES TO CENTENOKA
BC Liquor Store moved from the Shuswap Park Mall in downtown Salmon Arm to a corner of Centenoka Park Mall property in what was once Blockbuster Video. The old store location closed on Sept. 26 and the new store opened on Sept. 27 with the same staff. The new store is 300 sq. ft. smaller than the previous location but customers will find slightly more product and a large cold room, thus coldzone has been added to its name. The new delivery bay has far better access for trucks. Brett Geary is the manager, and the design of new government liquor stores has the manager’s desk right inside the front door. Say hello when you enter. Store hours are 9:30 to 6, Monday to Saturday.
CENTENOKA SUBCONTRACTED ALL THE WORK
Lance Johnson is general manager of Centenoka Park Mall, that has been in his family for over three generations. The process to get the BC Liquor Store started over a year ago, and included adding two additions to the existing building. Dave Guenter, the head of construction for the mall, proudly used local trades and contractors as much as possible. The store is now open, and managers can say they have one of the nicest BC Liquor Stores in the province.
PANAGO PIZZA HAPPY WITH NEW NEIGHBOUR
The owners of Panago Pizza are happy to have neighbours again. Greg and Marcie Williams, local residents, bought the pizza franchise in a corner building at Centenoka Park Mall in 2011 after managing it for several years. Blockbuster Video was on one side until it closed two years ago, and a water store was on the other until it closed in spring to make room for a loading bay for the BC Government Liquor Store that wraps around the pizza store. Greg says they are happy to have a neighbour again, and are noticing more foot traffic. Panago Pizza is a great community supporter. It sponsors many groups, such as SilverBacks Jr. Hockey, Sockeye

Christmas Island was created in the Salmon Arm Bay of Shuswap Lake from dredgeate that was trucked when creating a deep channel for houseboats and boats to the marina. At the completion of the project, Salmon Arm Bay Nature Enhancement Society created hills and valleys and planted trees, shrubs and grasses on the level island. Now SABNES plans to create a new trail across Christmas Island, and it needs help building a bridge as part of it. It hopes to get 15 or 20 strong individuals to help on October 19 and 20. Please show up at 10 a.m. if you can help. For more information, contact janetaitken1@gmail.com. This request is brought to you through Downtown Salmon Arm.
Early on Monday, Sept. 9, a fire destroyed most of Pedro Gonzales Fruit & Garden in Salmon Arm. Crews from all four firehalls responded. Suspecting it was deliberately set, the case was turned over to the RCMP. The business, which has been owned by the Ruth family for 38 years, was open for business on the following Saturday. A new building has been designed and will be built over winter, with a projected opening in April. In the meantime, an out-building that had been used for storage for the garden centre is being used for the business.

BC MUNICIPALITIES VOTE AGAINST GMO
Delegates at the Union of BC Municipalities Convention in Vancouver came down against genetically engineered (GE) plants, seeds and animals. A resolution was passed Thursday morning reads: “That UBCM ask the British Columbia government to legislate the prohibition of importing, exporting and growing plants and seeds containing genetically engineered DNA, and raising GE animals within BC, and to declare, through legislation, that BC is a GE Free area in respect to all plant and animal species.” There are already 61 GE Free Zones in BC, and 10 Official Community Plans of Regional Districts have come out against GE crops. The Society for a GE Free BC, a volunteer non-profit group, was overjoyed with its success. The provincial government needs to legislate this ban and then ask the federal government to do the same. Supporters of the UBCM motion gathered almost 7,000 signatures on online and hardcopy petitions, and protested outside the UBCM meeting location.
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT LISTENED TO PEOPLE
The ‘Monsanto Protection Act’ was killed in the U.S. Congress. Hundreds of thousands of emails and calls to congress demanded its removal. It is a major win for the food movement.

GORT’S GOUDA SUFFERS SETBACK
Four weeks ago, Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm was told to stop selling cheese because E. coli bacteria was causing illness and it was linked to Gort’s Gouda raw milk cheese they had consumed. Over 20 suffered the same strain of E. coli in five provinces. The BC Center for Disease Control instructed people to stop eating 15 of Gort’s cheeses. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has been testing the farm and has been unable to find any trace of E. coli in the facility except in one reel with red pepper and red pepper samples. Owners Kathy and Gary Wikkerink are waiting patiently for approval to start selling cheese. Gort’s Gouda Cheese is available in most Salmon Arm grocery stores. No one in Salmon Arm has come down with symptoms of sickness due to E. coli contamination.
WEDDINGS AT HARMONIOUS HOMESTEAD
The former Mount Ida Hall is now located at a sheep farm 10 km. from downtown Salmon Arm and six km. from the Trans Canada Highway, at Harmonious Homestead and ewe. The hall has been used by many groups for agriculture-related meetings by farmers, banks and CSRD. Two weddings were held there this year. One had the ceremony by the Salmon River, and the reception for 150 was in the 100-seat hall and two large open-sided tents. The second wedding had a ceremony in a garden downtown, and the reception for 180 in the empty 100-year-old hay barn. Six potential weddings will be held on the farm next year. In the summer other events were held in the hall: a 40th wedding anniversary, a celebration of life, birthdays and family reunions. Outside caterers provide food for all events, as the farm provides only the venue. www.harmonioushomestead.ca
NEXT APRIL, STOP GROWING POT
Federal rules go into effect next April that state authorized users of medical pot can no longer grow their own, but must purchase their supply from a licenced producer. Ottawa has awarded the first medical licences under new rules to Prairie Plant Systems Inc. of Saskatoon, which has been Health Canada’s only supplier for 13 years. The medical marijuana can be used to treat pain, nausea and stimulate appetite. It will be available to patients by prescription.

RDSP refresher
Casavant recognized
At the Eugene Casavant tribute dinner held at the Prestige Inn Saturday, Oct. 5th, Shuswap Hospital Foundation president Joe Johnson presented Eugene with a Health Legacy Fund in his name, in recognition of his 32 year service to the hospital, his volunteerism with the foundation and the community, ‘for his dedication to fostering the highest
levels of healthcare in the Shuswap.’ In addition, a special meeting of the board was called to make a motion to bestow Eugene with an Honorary Lifetime membership in the Shuswap Hospital Foundation; this was carried unanimously by the board and over 120 family and guests present that evening.

Aboriginal youth skills award
The Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) is opening nominations for its annual Skills Award for Aboriginal Youth, as part of its effort to attract more Aboriginal workers to the forest sector. The award will honour a First Nations, Metis or Inuit individual with strong academic standing who is committed to their field of study and to a career in the dynamic forest sector. The $2,500 award is targeted at youth from 18 to 25 who are now enrolled in an apprenticeship program, in college or in university. “We recognize the special historic bond between Aboriginal communities and the forest products industry,” says David Lindsay, President and CEO of FPAC. “It is vitally important for the forest sector to reach out to our neighbours and long-time partners in rural forest communities, and that includes Aboriginal youth.” Under Vision2020, FPAC has set the ambitious “people” goal of refreshing the workforce with an additional 60,000 workers by the end of the decade. This includes a desire to hire more Aboriginals, as well as
more women and new Canadians. The other Vision2020 goals are to increase economy activity by $20 billion through new products and markets and to further enhance the sector’s environmental performance by another 35%. This is the second year that FPAC will hand out this award. The first Aboriginal Skills award went to Baillie Redfern, an M.Sc graduate student studying Genome Science and Technology at the University of British Columbia. Redfern, a member of the Painted Feather Woodland Metis Tribe in Ontario, is studying how to use bio-ingredients from wood fibre to create bio-products such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Nominations for the annual Skills Award for Aboriginal Youth will be open until November 30, 2013. Information on how to apply can be found at: www.fpac.ca/youthaward About 17,000 Aboriginal people now work in the forest products industry, making the sector the largest employer of Aboriginal workers.
The kids and cat haven’t done anything crazy this week, so we have to fall back on something a little less entertaining and a little more educational. I know, I know, but like I always say; you can’t just eat donuts and cookies, you need some veggies once in a while too. So, this week we are going to re-visit the registered disability savings plan (RDSP). It is important to bring it up because despite having been around for five years, it seems to be a vehicle that only a few people understand and utilize. Like the Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP), the main incentive to save funds in this type of plan is the fact the government throws money into the pot for you, and who doesn’t like ‘free’ money?! Well, I hesitate to say ‘free,’ because we all know the government’s money comes from your wallet. If anything, it is a creative way to get some of your own money back! To be eligible for the RDSP, you need to qualify for the Disability Tax Credit, have a social insurance number, be resident of Canada, and be less than 60 years old. As you can see, the hardest requirement is qualifying for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC). According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the DTC is available to people who have a “severe and prolonged impairment that markedly restricts their ability to perform one or more basic activities of living.” What does that mean? Well, it has to be a fairly severe disability and it has to be certified by your doctor through the completion of an application that is then submitted to CRA for review and approval/denial. In most cases, your doctor will charge a small fee for completing the form for you, but it is worth it if it helps you qualify. If you are unsure whether you will qualify for this tax credit, then talk to your doctor and/or your accountant. Assuming you are approved by CRA, the next most important thing you will want to know is how the Canada Disability Savings Grant (CDSG) works. Grants are available to beneficiaries up until December 31st in the year they reach age 49. Like the Canada Education Savings Grant for RESPs, the extent of the grant is determined by your family income. If your family income is less than ~$85,000 then the CDSG is equal to 300% on your first $500 contribution and 200% on the next $1,000 for an annual maximum of $3,500. This means that a $1,500 contribution in a given year will result in the government kicking in $3,500! If your family income is over ~$85,000 then the government matches your contribution by 100% to a maximum of $1,000 per year. So in this case, a $1,000 contribution will result in $2,000 to start your plan as the government will also throw in $1,000. As you can see, the government gives you a great incentive to start one of these plans! There’s a lot more to know about these plans, but you’ll just have to wait until next week’s article to get the rest of the details because I’ve run out of space.

“Training you to help others”
Letters to the Editor
When a monarch butterfly comes within one foot of pollinating GMO corn, it dies, according to older research (probably about five years old now), but the effect is still present. The monarch butterflies are dying in large numbers; there are hardly any left! Then there is the research showing the rats getting cancer with GMO corn. Other research shows rats becoming sterile in a few generations with other GMO food. Therefore the question is: “What is it doing to the rest of us?” There is also research showing cows not doing so well with GMO foods. When I was a youngster, summer fallow, or the working of the land for a year without planting, was the way we kept weeds at bay. Now farmers buy a chemical sprayer that cost in the neighborhood of $350,000, and that is besides the cost of the chemicals every year. Yet we are told that the reason farmers don’t do summer fallow any more is because of the cost. Do we need all these deadly chemicals? Research also shows that weeds get resistant to any chemicals that we throw at them. As time goes, farmers are requiring more and more chemicals every year and still not getting the desired effects. Farmers in India are taking their own lives, because they have gone to GMO crops that have not produced more, like they were promised, and are costlier because of the increased chemicals (Roundup) needed. When they lose their farms, they take their lives. If an organic farmer is growing corn, and his neighbour is growing GMO corn, and they cross-pollinate, then the organic farmer has lost his crop! That is not coexisting. If GMOs are so good, why are they not labelled as GMO? Roger R. Gervais, Salmon Arm
Letters to the Editor ~ maximum 300-400 words ~ give name, ph.# & address ~ editorial@lakeshorenews.bc.ca
Safety of GMOs suspect GMOs–how do we know what’s inside?
I have some questions for Ralph van Dulfsen in reference to his letter to the Lakeshore News on October 4, 2013. If GMO products are so good, why are some countries banning their use? If GMO products are so good, why are the companies using GMOs against labelling their products? In the past there were medications that were promoted to be safe to use. Now, 20 years later, they have been found to be harmful. Could not the same happen to GMO products? I am in my eighties and have gardened most of my life using no pesticides or herbicides. I organize the Shuswap Seed Savers Seed Swap & Sale in Enderby which has been held at the A. L. Fortune School for the last six years. The Seed Swap started in 1995 with about 40 people. The last two years the attendance has increased to over 750. I am seeing more and more people at these events who want to grow their own gardens or purchase food without GMOs. We have over 40 vendors at our events. In the theatre we have speakers on various issues. One year Percy Schmeiser from Saskatchewan was the speaker. Percy and his wife had a 10 year battle with agribusiness giant Monsanto after his canola fields were contaminated with genetically engineered (GE) canola in 1998. In March 2008 Monsanto settled out of court. He still travels around the world giving speeches on GMOs. The Bee SAFE group in Lumby represents all the farmers and growers who care about building an agricultural system without GMOs that is safe for bees and for everybody else. June Griswold, Salmon Arm
There are many reasons why we should be concerned about Genetically Engineered Foods, or GMO’s. One of the biggest for me is knowing what exactly we are putting into our bodies. Chemical companies genetically engineer DNA bacteria into food crops, such as the corn on Mr VanDalsen’s farm, to either produce pesticide in the plant, or make the plant tolerate the pesticides they sell, such as Round Up-ready corn. This foreign DNA produces foreign proteins in every cell of the plant, even the parts we eat. No long-term independent safety studies have been performed to see if GMO foods have adverse health effects. Overuse of pesticide is now creating resistance. Super-weeds and super-bugs have started to evolve and more and more pesticide must be sprayed. Over time it becomes a vicious circle, so now chemical companies are engineering resistance in food crops to much more toxic weed killers like Dicamba and 24D. Over 64 countries around the world mandate labelling GMO’s including Europe, Japan and even
China. If GMO’s are as good as they are trying to tell us, why do companies such as Monsanto resist independent testing and labelling? All GMO seed becomes the property of the company that creates it. It will not be long before companies such as Monsanto will have complete control of our food production. How can that make sense? Most processed food we eat now contains GMO’s. Young mothers who for whatever reason are not able to breastfeed are feeding their babies formula that for the most part is made up from GMO corn and soya. Don’t you think they have the right to know? There are two things we should be demanding. First, results from independent studies on the risk of short and long term health effects of eating GMO foods should be made widely available. Secondly, all GMO foods should be labeled so we can decide for ourselves if we want to consume then or not. Corn, soya and all the other GMO grains and vegetables may look good on the outside but we have the right to know what is on the inside. Christine Ashton, Enderby
Are GMO foods truly beneficial to one’s health?
Are we to believe that GMO crops, in Mr. Ralph van Dalksen’s case, corn, are actually good for the consumer, i.e nutritional without any harmful so-called ‘collateral damage?!’ He actually states “GMO corn is a very important part of my crop rotation program.” He goes on to state, “I am getting greater yields and higher quality corn using less land, water, and nutrients because of GMO technology”! He later states that GMO products
have proven the test of time and “are proving to be beneficial to producers and consumers alike.” I would certainly like to know (and I am sure the majority of your readers would as well) exactly how Mr. Ralph van Dalfsen can prove that GMO products are “ beneficial” to anyone’s health when he is using fewer nutrients and when some of the latest scientific studies that we hear about on the news and in
newspapers are warning us of the exact opposite. I myself will be very interested in reading Mr. van Dalksen’s answer to this mystery. I notice that Mr. van Dalksen signed as a dairy farmer. Is the milk or meat which his cows produce GMO as well? Yvonne Nairn, Salmon Arm

The leading cause of fires in the kitchen is unattended cooking. Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove. If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you're cooking.

Did you Know? - Cooking is the number 1 cause of home fires. - Cooking left unattended is the most common cause of kitchen fires. - Nuisance alarms AND low battery warning chirps are the number 1 reason Canadians dismantle smoke alarms. - Smoke alarms should be installed NEAR your kitchen not IN your Kitchen. - New intelligent photoelectric sensors help differentiate between real fires and false alarms. - Model with 10 year sealed lithium batteries eliminate the need to replace batteries over the life of the alarm. Never use your own lithium batteries in existing alarms. Source: Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs • safeathome.ca

The new black door and burnished metal fixtures will complete the vignette. I forgot to ask her if she took a “before” picture. If she did I’ll post it on my website in the new section called “The Cheap Seats,” which starts in November. Every once in awhile I see something that just defies gravity and I can’t wait to tell you about it. I’m going to put pictures of some of these things in this new section of Designsewlutions.ca.

I went to visit my friend today. My friend the artist. It’s always fun to see what she has been working on and I always walk away with ideas and inspiration. This woman can paint anything. From portraits to landscapes, from tables to countertops and now I’m not making this up–the brick on the front of her house. I know that almost anything can be painted, and I usually add the condition ‘“if you use the right primer,” but there she was, the out-there artist, painting her brick without primer. She was using outdoor paint and various outdoor stains, so she knows the work will stand up. Now, this woman has an artists eye. She sees colour and depth, and form and movement in a simple paint swipe that I’d never see in a bajillion years. She picked several colours, painted and dabbed away and turned the orange brick into a wonderful grey mottled statement that brought the

Nature writer, novelist, poet Theresa Kishkan By Gillian Richardson BC writer Theresa Kishkan will present her work nature’scorner at a reading co-sponsored by the Shuswap Association of Writers and Shuswap Naturalists on Sunday October 27, 2 p.m. at the Saga Art Gallery. In her presentation, “Forests of Memory” she will read from her work–published as well as recent– about trees and the way they influence her own sense of the past and the present, trees in history (natural and personal), in ethnobotany, and their resonance in literature, culture, and daily life. A freelance writer for 30 years, Kishkan has published ten books including three full-length collections of poetry, two collections of essays about history and travel, a memoir, three novels and a novella. Her work has appeared in magazines and anthologies in North America and Europe, and has received several awards and numerous award nominations. Her interests include natural and regional history, music, ethnobotany, textiles, classical literature, and gardening. She is described on her website as “a literary naturalist whose words transcend the flora and fauna to engage human relationships, social concerns, historical milieus and political boundaries.” She has given many public readings of her work and participated in literary festivals, both in North America and Central Europe where she’s traveled and taught, and where her most recent work is set. Kishkan will be taking part in the Victoria Writers Festival in October, before coming to Salmon Arm
Shuswap Naturalists
for this event. Born in Victoria, BC in 1955, Kishkan has lived on both coasts of Canada as well as in Greece, Ireland, and England. She was educated at the Universities of Victoria and British Columbia. She makes her home on the Sechelt Peninsula with her husband John Pass in the home they built in the early 1980s and where they raised three children. Her recent books include the following: Mnemonic: A Book of Trees (Goose Lane Editions, 2011) is a memoir in which Kishkan explores the presence of trees in nature, culture and her personal history. She calls them “memory markers,” and shares the significance of trees at particular times in her life. The Age of Water Lilies (Brindle & Glass, 2009) is a historical novel set in communities of Walhachin, BC and Victoria, spanning the years 1912 (colonial wars) to 1960s (pacifist movement). It features 70-year-old Flora who encounters seven-year-old Tessa while walking in Ross Bay Cemetery. The two strike up a friendship and Flora recalls her personal story influenced by settings that evoke history and a passion for nature.
Members of the Sorrento Drop In Society want to express our appreciation for the grant BC Hydro recently donated. Your contribution is enjoyed by all!

Things you observe when out in the bush, or driving an old logging road, can be interesting and educational: beautiful fall colour changes; checking moose or deer tracks; or watching for grouse. Observing small and large critters. Even for the crusty ol’ hunters out there that think they’ve seen it all, it’s still a passion! As well, some things literally come out of the blue, when you least expect them. Tuesday was one of those days. While hunting, and then driving back down a winding narrow road high above the ecological reserve at WAP lake near 3 Valley Gap, a large, yellow, search and rescue Buffalo aircraft, out of Comox, glided past us at the same elevation a few hundred feet away, as it flew down the narrow valley. Circling, the pilot flew the plane past us twice more, as the three of us waved and took a few photos. It’s a warm emotional feeling one gets, when one knows they are there for us in times of trouble. Two things that I also noticed were regarding the changing landscape that our wildlife and game animals have to endure, through their seasonal life cycles. One was in steep mountain terrain, high up the North Wap, where high lead logging left valuable timber, scattered and piled by landings. There had been two complaints from hunters regarding a heck of a mess left by clearcut logging in a large block behind Cec’s Cabin, at Larch Lake in the Larch hills. Another was left in a Queest Mountain location, with scattered timber and broken trees.
There are observations in the past that we have reported to the main renewable resources office in Vernon, for a Mt. Ida logging mess, and one in Cherryville. It appears that little is done about it, as one forest service person mentioned that some contractors do a better job than others, since they know the material will eventually break
shuswapoutdoors by Hank Shelley
down and decay. It takes 110 years for a lodge pole pine or fir to mature in the Interior, before harvest. On the other hand, driving high above and into another logging operation at 19 Mile, near 3 Valley, Van Ommen Contracting Ltd were doing an excellent job on skidding, decking, and cleanup of landings. Hunters beware: use caution, or do not travel during the work week, with trucks hauling logs on roads such as Yard Creek main, 19 Mile road, Kingfisher main, Queest main, East Perry River main. The other observation, was the entire absence, literally, of both whitetail/mule deer/moose, due to a high number of wolves presently working many valleys and flats. A continuing conten-
tious issue throughout the Thompson/Shuswap/Lumby areas with ranchers also complaining of losses of livestock. Despite these issues, the hunting forecast for the Thompson Region appear to be a mixed bag. Mule deer: numbers are stable, so hunting should be good. Whitetail deer: numbers are expanding with an antlerless season coming on quickly. Moose: moose numbers are stable in the Thompson, but in the Shuswap, 3-26 numbers are down due mainly to wolf predation. Black bear: an abundance of bears will provide good hunting. Cougar: the big cats numbers are increasing, with minimal hunting. Grouse: numbers are spotty, with some areas better than others due to spring weather clutch survival. Region 8 Okanagan/Shuswap; Moose. Numbers up slightly with annual harvest of 200-250 bulls. But bull ratios down to 30 bulls to 100 cows. Elk. Becoming a popular hunt for 6 point bulls, with elk numbers increasing. There is also an unregulated communal hunt at times. Mule deer: population stable. Whitetail deer: numbers increasing, with longer antlerless hunts coming on. Geese: there are lots of birds around, as there is for the Thompson Management units. So, be safe, be seen, be ethical, and enjoy our great outdoors!

Title intrigue you? The Enderby & District Arts Council presents Chad Deetken’s talk/ slide show Friday, October 18, 7:00 p.m. at the Enderby Drill Hall. This is a journey through Nepal’s ancient kingdom of Mustang. Chad is best remembered for his crop circle slide show. He first heard of the Mustang in 1972 when he was 26 and travelling for several years throughout Asia. Mustang was mostly inhabited by ethnic Tibetans and was closed for 40 years to outsiders from the early 1950’s due to tensions with China over the invasion of Tibet. Instead of going to Tibet, Chad
hiked to Everest Base camp but always thought of returning to see this mythical place. In 2009, Chad learned that Mustang was re-opened in 1992 to a limited number of tourists. He also learned that there were plans to cut roads into Mustang from both China (Tibet) in the north and India in the south. “Since part of the charm of Mustang was no motorized travel of any sort, not even planes, a road would radically change the kingdom forever,” says Chad. “Because of this urgency, I wasted no time in booking a flight to Kathmandu, Nepal and making arrangements for the trek arriving November 2, 2009.”
The trek from the Nepalese police outpost at Kagbeni to Lo Manthang, the capital of Mustang near the Tibetan border, is a very difficult 10-day round-trip hike along a primitive 600-year-old trail which winds through river valleys and no fewer than 10 passes. “Entering into Mustang is like going back 600 years, as very little has changed since the 1400’s.” Don’t miss this rare opportunity on Friday, October 18th at 7:00 p.m. at the Enderby Drill; entrance by donation, with refreshments served. For further information, contact Karen Rohats at 250-838-0626. Image contributed.
Writers Fest launches youth writing contest
The Vancouver Writers Fest is launching a new writing contest open to young writers in BC. Winners of the contest will be awarded a cash prize and have their work published in a magazine that showcases aspiring young writers. For the last 15 years, the Writers Fest has run a successful poetry and short story contest for writers of all ages. Last year more than 340 entries were received from all over the world. The new contest is restricted to only those writers enrolled in Grades 8 to 12 in British Columbia, which will give young aspiring writers a better
chance of winning. Just like the established poetry and short story contest, the Spreading the Word Youth Writing Contest will accept entries of poetry, with a 500word limit, and creative short fiction, with a 1,500-word limit. The work must be previously unpublished in each category. First prize in each category is $300, with a second prize award of $200. Prize winners, selected by a panel of publishing and writing professionals, will be published in The Claremont Review and on the Vancouver Writers Fest website at www. writersfest.bc.ca.
Closing date for entries is 5:00 p.m. on the final day of the Vancouver Writers Fest, Sunday, Oct. 27. Students can enter online at www.writersfest.bc.ca/ youthwritingcontest. Spreading the Word, the Vancouver Writers Fest’s schools program, offers K—12 students and teachers the rare opportunity to engage with internationally renowned writers at the Festival and in the classroom. Other Spreading the Word programs include 34 events for K-12 at the Festival, classroom visits for inner city schools and a week-long writer residency program.

Volunteers play a key role at the museum with about 15 volunteers with various skills helping to keep it all running smoothly. On the day of my visit I spent some time looking at the exhibits and reading the information available. I particularly liked the
charge for a little over a year, taking over from long-time curator Joan Cowan. It’s a part-time job, but she has a farm to run as well, so it works well for her. Naomi’s love of history led her originally to volunteer at the museum before eventually accepting the job as curator.
display cases that highlighted the dominant activities and themes in the various eras since the first settlement, including items from local First Nations Bands. Artifacts found in pioneer homes, schools, and life in general were displayed in attractive groupings. A model depicted Enderby in the
past with its train station and railway tracks and cars. The back of the main room is dedicated to archival material. There is a large photograph collection of over 7000 images! Photographs and newspaper clippings are organized and cataloged in drawers and cases. The collection is also in the process of being digitized so that it can be accessed with all the modern technology. Naomi says that people come in to research their ancestors and she welcomes all who want to research their family or any other aspect of life in and around Enderby in earlier days. Several years ago I joined a walking tour of Enderby and enjoyed it immensely. I hadn’t known there were so many interesting, historic buildings there. These days, at the museum you can purchase, for a small charge, a walking tour booklet that will guide you around the community. I enjoyed my visit to the museum and hope to return another time.

BC speed limit review announced
By Jeff Nagel, Black Press Transportation Minister Todd Stone wants B.C. residents to weigh in on a potential increase in highway speed limits now under consideration. Stone announced the formal review of speed limits Friday in Kamloops although he had previously indicated it was coming and technical work is already underway. The Coquihalla Highway already has a speed limit of 110 kilometres per hour but traffic there does an average speed of 118, while drivers routinely exceed the posted limit of 90 or 100 on many other provincial highways. “There’s no question the Coquihalla is a prime candidate for an adjustment in the speed limit,” Stone said, also listing sections of Highway 1 in the Lower Mainland and around Kamloops as well as the Cariboo Connector towards Prince George. It’s been a decade since B.C. last reviewed speed limits. Stone said any increases would involve mainly rural provincial highways between communities, not highways in urban areas of the Lower Mainland, although which specific corridors to adjust will be subject to public input. He said a higher speed limit in some stretches of highway has been made possible by billions of dollars in major road upgrades since the last review in 2003, including 180 additional kilometres of four- or six-lane highway. He also said vehicles are “much safer today than 10 years ago” as a result of traction stability control, anti-lock brakes and other improvements. Stone cited a 28 per cent drop in injury-causing collisions since 2003. And he said research increasingly suggests the greatest danger isn’t necessarily speeding itself, but driving at a much different speed than most other drivers. A minority of 15 per cent of drivers who don’t keep up with the flow or who speed excessively are at greater risk of a crash than the other 85 per cent of drivers who may be going somewhat over the posted speed limit, he said. Stone stressed decreases in the speed limit are also possible. “This review is not about increasing speed limits, it’s about making sure we have the right speed limits.” And he said there will be “no Autobahn” in B.C.
where speed limits are lifted altogether. “I am not interested in making any changes that are going to compromise the safety of motorists.” He said one option could be variable speed limits that are higher in the day and lower at night. The review will pull in fresh research from around the world, and closely consider factors unique to B.C., like its geography and high mountain passes. The risk of crashes with wildlife will also be a key consideration. Bright signs that warn of wildlife at night – potentially activated by sensors that detect animals near the highway – are among various options the ministry will consider to counter that risk, particularly on highways where posted limits might rise. Stone said other technologies being tried elsewhere include automated sirens that scare wildlife off roads in areas where they pose a frequent hazard. The speed limit review aims to generate recommendations by next spring, when the Legislature reconvenes. Public forums on the issue will be held in Kamloops, Chilliwack, Vancouver, Nanaimo, Prince George, Dawson Creek, Cranbrook and Kelowna starting in November, with potentially more sites still to be added. One group advocating for higher speed limits is Sense BC, which was behind a recent viral video making the case for change. Sense BC’s Ian Tootill said even a 10 kilometre an hour increase on the Coquihalla to 120 wouldn’t be enough to match the prevailing speeds in summer. “I’m not suggesting the Coquihalla should be 150 or 160 but it shouldn’t be 120,” he said. Tootill argues speed limits should be set at the upper end of what’s safe – allowing those who can drive that speed to legally do so – while most motorists would go slower. Others reacting on social media argued faster speeds would compromise safety and burn more fuel. Some cities have also advocated for a lower default speed limit on urban streets of 40 kilometres per hour instead of 50, but that idea was defeated by a majority of delegates at last month’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

Open letter to Ellen DeGeneres
Dear Ellen, Open letters seem to be a hot trend right now, so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon and give you a little piece of my mind. Sixteen years ago you publicly came out of the closet and played out some of your real-life experi- By Lori ences on my favourite sitcom Welbourne “Ellen.” In doing so, you exposed us all to your controversial lifestyle and introduced gay issues into the plot-lines. You even dared to kiss Laura Dern on prime time television. And not on the cheek either. On the lips. I realize it’s a little belated, but I just wanted to take this opportunity to publicly express my concern regarding your bold display. Do you really think we were ready for that? Do you have any idea what kind of impact that has had on North American society and beyond? Same-sex couples are now getting married, for heaven’s sake. Coming out of the closet has apparently become easier for many homosexuals. And what really amazes me is how most people I know don’t even care if a man is with a man, or a woman is with a woman. Do you think this is good? Do you seriously think accepting and embracing differences in one another, and encouraging people to live and let live is somehow helpful to our world? Because I sure as heck do. You changed my life when you did what you did, Ellen. Not because I’m gay – I’m not. But because you showed a fearlessness that was so brave and beautiful, I literally had tears in my eyes as I knew it was going to have a profound impact on humanity. Thank you. In that moment you made me see
how influential a person could be by simply sharing themselves honestly, and with humour. I understand things weren’t smooth sailing for you after that, and millions of people were so threatened by homosexuality and its perceived contribution to the moral decay of society that many of them aimed their fear-based attacks at you. At the time I couldn’t imagine how that must have felt, nor understand how awful it would be to be hated by complete strangers for simply being yourself and standing up for something you believed in. But I get it now. Six weeks ago, for International Go Topless Day and Women’s Equality Day, I wrote a column and made a video in support of women having the constitutional right to go topless wherever men can go topless. While I received a tremendous amount of support for my interview with the Mayor of Kelowna, I also received an astounding number of negative reactions from people all over the world, some so vile and misogynistic it was shocking. I’m a sensitive person by nature, so it’s taken me years to thicken my skin. I hate to admit this, but it’s not quite as thick as it needs to be yet, and I had to channel your courage in some of my weaker moments. I’d like to thank you for that, and for continuing to help change the world and make it a happier, healthier, funnier place to live. I made a video specifically directed at you. Some will cringe and accuse me of shameless self-pro-

By Peter Kociuba The A&W Peewee Tier 3 Silvertips welcomed Penticton to the Sicamous arena on Saturday. Dominic Barbosa opened the scoring for the home team with just over 7 minutes left in the first period. Madison Dewitt held the line and Barbosa chipped the puck past the Penticton netminder on the rebound from a Tyler Bushell shot. Penticton would claw back to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission.
The visitors would get ahead by 2 toward the end of the second, before a Blake McBeth rocket from the point would find its way into the Penticton net, set up by Taylor Howard and Bushell. There was no scoring in the third period until Penticton scored 89 seconds apart with just over 3 minutes left in the game. Bushell and Barbosa would combine again on a jam play in front of the net to get the Tips within
2, but that’s as close as they’d come as they fell to the visitors by a 5-3 final. Captain Dom Barbosa had this to say about the Tip’s play:”I think we passed the puck really well today. We also worked really hard along the boards.” The Peewee T3 Tips head down the Coq for a tournament this weekend, before welcoming Kelowna to the Shaw Centre later this month.
‘Backs name new Director of Marketing
The Salmon Arm SilverBacks are very pleased today to introduce Community Relations Director, and long-time Corporate Sponsor; Phil Stewart, as the organization’s new Director of Marketing. Stewart, Owner of Salmon Arm’s Rainbow Glass; has been a ‘Backs Corporate Sponsor since the team’s inaugural season; and has provided numerous life-coaching sessions with ‘Backs players, and staff, over the past number of years of service within the ‘Backs growing organization. General Manager Troy Mick says the move will add stability and a community presence to the Front Office. “We can’t say enough about Phil as a person, and professional; his positive demeanour and local knowledge are exactly the qualities this organization prides itself on; and we’re absolutely thrilled to have him as a day-to-day member of our staff.”
Stewart, who has been splitting his time between his business and the ‘Backs Office, over the past number of weeks, says he has confidence in the future of the club. “When we add the element of hard work to our goal, the results will be much more rewarding; there are no shortcuts to success.” Mick says the move will allow the ‘Backs to grow relationships with even more Shuswap business owners and community groups. “Phil has a great relationship with so many community-minded people; not just in Salmon Arm, but in the Shuswap as a whole, and we’re eager to see how we can further involve what we’re doing at the Shaw Centre with our fantastic, growing, community.” The team would like to officially welcome Phil, and his family, into the organization; as they look forward to future success.

The initial batch of high resolution images includes 81 works created between 1778 and 1960 recently selected by curators from the vaults of the Royal BC Museum and Archives in Victoria, British Columbia. “We are thrilled about working with the Google Cultural Institute in the UK to make a significant part of our collection immediately accessible to the world,” said Jack Lohman CBE, Chief Executive Officer of the Royal BC Museum. “New, dedicated onsite gallery space is part of our masterplan, to share more of the thousands of artworks in our collections, but we actively pursued this Google Art partnership as another way to share the diversity in our collections.” Paintings created in British Columbia by Louis Comfort Tiffany; Emily Carr, E.J. Hughes and Frederick Varley are among the first 81 works in the museum’s Google Art Project. Don Bourdon, Curator of Images and Paintings at the Royal BC Museum said, “The twenty-six works selected from our huge Emily Carr collection include her beloved forests and First Nations villages, but also samples from her ‘funny books’, arts and crafts pieces, portraits, an ink sketch, and two paintings from her time in France.” Other artists featured in this project launch – Chief Nakaṕankam, Mungo Martin and Charlie George Sr, Xalxidi – are not as well known outside British Columbia, but their works, stories and contributions are exceptional.
“Mungo Martin was a great master of Northwest Coast art,” said Dr. Martha Black, Curator of Ethnology, Royal BC Museum. “His individual style and sophisticated technique are evident in the few works we selected for this project.” When he was about 72 years old, Mungo Martin became Chief Carver at what is now the Royal BC Museum. He created more than two dozen poles and built the bighouse Wawadiťła in Thunderbird Park where he gave the first legal public potlatch at its opening in 1953, soon after the law against potlatching was dropped from the Indian Act in 1951. The set of coloured pencil drawings by Charlie George Sr, Xalxidi, was created for the Reverend Dr Richard Large, c.1910, when Charlie was a young patient at the Bella Bella Hospital. These intricate portrayals include salmon, a grease bowl, the shaman and the copper among others. Together, they tell the Kwakwaka’wakw story of Soogwilis, which was published by the doctor’s son in 1951, with 39 of Charlie George’s wonderful illustrations. The earliest image among those launched recently is a 1778 watercolour of King George’s Sound by surgeon and artist William Ellis. These works were often collected by archivists and are appreciated both for their artistic value but also as a modern-day equivalent of photographs, documenting vistas or cultures new to Europeans of the time. Paintings by Sarah Crease in 1860, of street scenes in the young city of Victoria, are among those. A more recent image included in this project launch is by the artist E.J. Hughes. His painting “Above Okanagan Lake” is a colourful oil on canvas from 1960. To see these works, go to: http://www.google. com/culturalinstitute/project/art-project

Teddy bears, frying pans, and razors
Hi Reena, My mom reads your article and would like to know how to clean a white teddy bear. Could you please send any tips on this? Thanks kindly, Laurie Dear Laurie, Vacuuming teddy bears is the least risky way to clean them. However, wiping with a damp white cloth is one of the simplest and most effective ways to clean your teddy bears. For stubborn dirt, grime and odours you will have to resort to a stronger cleaning technique. Check the care label on your bear. To dry your teddy bear, never use the machine dryer. A better way to dry the teddy bear is with a hair dryer. If your teddy bear is an antique, avoid washing or cleaning the bear yourself. There are special establishments who specialize in restoring teddy bears. Another option is to place your teddy bears in a garbage bag with a half cup of baking soda. Shake to freshen. This will remove dust and stale odors but it will not remove stains. To remove stains, use the wet cloth technique described above. Dear Reena, Can you please give me an idea of what I can use to give my concrete countertop a natural shine? It used to have somewhat of a shine but now it’s dull. Greetings, Alex Dear Alex, An easy and inexpensive suggestion for you is to rub melted beeswax over the surface of the counter with a chamois cloth. Let it dry and then wipe. Extra tidbit: Beeswax is also great for rubbing over the threads of screws to lubricate them and
make them drive in better. F e e d b a c k Solutions&Substitutions from Fabulous Readers: Re: Cleaning smelly anymore. We actually cast iron frying don’t even notice it anymore.

The family of Vivian Hildebrand would like to thank the care team at Mount Ida Mews, Riesling Wing, for their kind and compassionate care of their mother during the short period of time she resided there. Mom was always treated like a member of their own family and no request was too large to be carried out with anything but a cheerful attitude. We could not have wished for better care for our mother.

Fewer electrical fires inHaven’t BC: study results advertised in
Have a new business?
By Tom Fletcher, Black Press Completion of BC Hydro’s smart meter program has coincided with a continued decline in electrical fires in the province, according to a new analysis of records from the B.C. Office of the Fire Commissioner. Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis has been tracking residential fire statistics since 2010, for his work as adjunct professor of criminology at the University of the Fraser Valley. After successfully pushing for a 2006 law allowing fire departments to find indoor marijuana grow operations by their electrical usage, Garis has continued to assess the effects of BC Hydro’s smart grid program on preventing fires.
Adding another year of fire statistics, from June 2012 to June 2013, shows a continued decline in electrical fires, including those related to illegal electrical bypasses and hot grow lamps found to be connected with illegal marijuana growing. Garis noted that the data show electrical fires of all sorts account for only a small part of all structure fires in B.C. Out of 1,801 total residential fires in the latest year available, 150 were found to be caused by electrical discharge. That’s a 12.3 per cent decline since 2011, when the smart meter program began. The reports show that over three years, only one fire originated on an exterior wall,
ignited by an electrical panel board. That was in 2011, before smart meter installation began. There have been no fires attributed to the meter program, with 1.8 million wireless meters installed. Fires caused by illegal meter bypasses dropped from eight in 2011 to six in 2012 to only three in 2013. BC Hydro has reported that installers located and removed illegal bypasses around the province as part of the smart meter program, and also replaced 1,200 meter bases found to be fºaulty. Garis said the results clearly show that people should not worry about their electrical meters, and pay attention to by far the largest sources of house fires: cooking and
smoking. The statistics show that cooking-related fires are on the increase, even as total residential fires have declined in B.C. Of 1,998 total fires reported in 2011, 575 were ignited by cooking equipment. In 2013, total fires declined to 1,801 but the number of cooking fires rose to 621. Fires caused by smoking declined by 11 per cent for 2013, but there were still 302 fires ignited by smoking materials. Garis said the statistic of most concern is that 79 per cent of people who died in fires, whatever the source, were in a home without a working smoke detector.
