Shoppers Drug Mart has been notified of a current scam utilizing their name, and states the following on their website: Shoppers Drug Mart is warning customers of a fraudulent contest and phone scam. Several people have received an automated phone call claiming that they had won a vacation from Shoppers Drug Mart. They were then asked if they agreed or disagreed. If they selected ‘agree,’ they were transferred to a live caller who asked for their credit card information to hold a hotel room. This is fraudulent and not authorized by Shoppers Drug Mart, nor is this a Shoppers Drug Mart contest. Shoppers Drug Mart would never ask for your credit card information over the phone. If you have concerns regarding your personal information, call your credit card provider immediately.

Shuswap cadets earn their wings COMOX, B.C. – Cadets Shael Huska (of Chase) and Michael Koprowsky (of Salmon Arm) spent their summer at the Regional Gliding School (Pacific) on the Air Cadet Glider Pilot Scholarship Course. Huska and Koprowsky were two of 44 Air Cadets selected from across British Columbia who had the opportunity to pursue their Transport Canada Glider Pilot License. They flew the Schweizer 2-33A gliders, which are owned by the BC Provincial Committee of the Air Cadet League of Canada. When asked what receiving the Glider Pilot Scholarship meant to him, Huska said, “Completing the Glider Pilot Scholarship means I finally achieved something I have always dreamed of.” Cadets Huska and Koprowsky are members of 222 Shuswap Squadron in Salmon Arm. They studied all aspects of aviation in order to pass an
entrance exam, prior to sitting before a review board. Their school marks, cadet service, leadership and physical fitness are also evaluated as part of the selection process. At the conclusion of the intense six week training period, the successful students received their coveted Air Cadet Glider Pilot Wings from Lieutenant Colonel Tony Appels on graduation day – Thursday, August 15th. The Royal Canadian Air Cadets is a national co-educational youth organization sponsored by the Canadian Forces in partnership with the civilian Air Cadet League of Canada. In British Columbia there are approximately 3,700 Air Cadets enrolled in 57 Squadrons. The BC Ministry of Education, Skills and Training recognizes the cadet program as a “ministry-accepted External Course” for which students may receive graduation credit.
An easy-to-read summary of the water quality monitoring program and the 2011-2012 water quality results is now available on the SLIPP website (www.slippbc.ca). The purpose of the summary is to explain in layperson terms what is measured, where and why, and what the results are to date. “We are pleased to report the data from samples collected in 2011 and 2012 show that the overall quality of the water is still good,” said Paul Demenok, SLIPP Steering Committee Chair and Director of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (Electoral Area C). “We did, however, see some signs of early changes in specific locations that suggest we should start taking actions to help prevent further deterioration in water quality.“ The water quality monitoring program, which continues through 2013, involves sampling at over 250 sites at various depths and locations around the lakes and their tributaries. The results provide a scientific baseline on lake health, pollutants of concern and progress on remediation. Bodies responsible for the monitoring include the Province of BC (Ministry of Environment), Fisheries and Oceans Canada, local government, the Interior Health Authority and small water purveyors. The water quality and waste management techni-
cal team is shifting its focus from extensive, detailed monitoring to select monitoring and better management of the problems that lead to water quality issues. A key challenge will be managing nutrients and other changes to the lakes that come from urbanization, agriculture and forestry in the watershed. An overload of nutrients can upset a lake ecosystem and lead to water quality problems. Mara Lake, for example, may be particularly vulnerable to nutrient overload and other conditions that could lead to continued algae blooms in the future. “The SLIPP Steering Committee reached an agreement in principle to continue to work together on water quality and safety in 2014 and beyond. Going forward, it makes good sense to increase our focus on remediation efforts which will specifically address the most important sources of pollution while also using more efficient approaches with our water quality monitoring program”, said Paul Demenok. “I think the people living in the Shuswap watershed want an effective local program that that will improve the quality of our drinking water reservoir. We need a program made and managed in the Shuswap, by people from the Shuswap, for the Shuswap.”

Dig the Diversity at the Salmon Arm Fair
By Wendy Clay Where can you find excellent entertainment, displays of high quality food, animals and crafts, a large variety of delicious treats to eat, a lively midway, and a great destination for all generations
to meet and greet friends and family? Well, the Salmon Arm Fair, of course! Set aside time on September 6th, 7th or 8th to attend the 2013 edition of the Fair, with its theme “Dig the Diversity.” New this year is the highly popular West Coast Lumberjack Show. This entertaining blend of skills, heroics, history and humour is sure to please young and old. Last year Elvis tribute artist Adam Fitzpatrick (left) attracted large, enthusiastic crowds for all his shows. Happily, Adam is returning this year with his ‘Evolution of Elvis’ performances. The ever-popular Shuswap Idol, highlighting local talent, will take place on the main stage over the course of the fair, along with other music and dance. Lawn tractor racing will stir up some excitement over at the grandstand, and Saturday morning’s parade is fun for all, although especially appealing to those with a sweet tooth! A variety
Howie Cyr. “I was in the audience for a powerful presentation about the potential impacts and costs to the North Okanagan-Shuswap ecosystem and economy. As the River Ambassadors already provide information about river safety and respect at many boat launch locations, connecting this initiative to the ‘Don’t Move a Mussel’ campaign creates a natural synergy. We are leveraging a successful, well-established local program to take on this environmental and economic threat proactively,” said Mayor Cyr. Mayor Cyr, who is the Municipal Director for Enderby on the Board of the Regional District of the North Okanagan, noted that the Board will be communicating with the Provincial Government and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities about the proactive role that the Province needs to take in prevention and education. The partnership is a natural fit, as it builds upon the local presence for the “Don’t Move a Mussel” campaign and compliments the River Ambassadors’ existing message of safety and respect that they deliver at hand launches and boat launches throughout the Lower Shuswap River. “Partnerships are key when it comes to preventing the spread of aquatic invaders,” said OASISS Coordinator Lisa Scott. “There is a huge environmental and economic impact if these invasive mussel species take hold. Preventative action now will result in significant savings to the taxpayer in comparison with the

River ambassadors take on mussels
August 13, 2013 – In addition to educating recreational users of the Shuswap River about how to enjoy the river in a safe and respectful way, the Shuswap River Ambassadors are now lending their muscle to prevent an invasive species. The “Don’t Move a Mussel” campaign ( w w w. DontMoveAMussel.ca) was launched to educate the public about the threat of zebra and quagga mussels. These non-native mussels attach themselves to boats, piers, and other organisms and can damage beaches and boat motors while permanently harming water quality and ecosystems. “Seeing the River Ambassador program expand to include education on invasive species in our waters is a great addition,” said Shuswap River Ambassadors Manager, Courtney Boucher. “The Ambassadors not only work to protect the users of the river but also the river itself.” The River Ambassadors are partnering with the Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society (OASISS) to educate boat operators about how to prevent the spread of invasive mussel species using the Clean, Drain, Dry method. Prevention involves cleaning plants, animals, and mud from vessels and related equipment, draining any item that can hold water, and drying all items before launching into another body of water. The River Ambassadors are also promoting the “Don’t Move a Mussel” message in conjunction with the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB)’s Okanagan WaterWise program. The idea for the partnership initially came from Enderby Mayor

costs of reacting to the problem later. I see the partnership with the River Ambassadors program as a great opportunity to put more boots on the ground to raise awareness.” Enderby & District Chamber of Commerce General Manager Corinne Peard agreed: “The new partnership between the OASISS and the River Ambassador program is a valuable opportunity to spread the message on invasive species and educate river users on the damage these species can cause in our water ways.” “As far as we know, we don’t have zebra or quagga mussels in our waters, and we want to keep it that way,” added Corinne Jackson, Communications Director with the OBWB. “There is a lot of shared boat traffic between the waters of the Okanagan, the Shuswap and beyond. The more people who know the risks to our waters, the better. And if we can share the messaging, and be consistent with it, I think our chances of keeping our waters invasive mussel-free are also better. We are very happy to be working with OASISS and the Shuswap River Ambassadors to help spread the message – not the mussels.”

Ha ha ha! Laugh it out at the beginning - ha! The first laughing club started in India where it was found to be beneficial for overall good health. There are now more than 450 laughing clubs in India. In North America, too, laughing clubs are emerging. There are no fees for membership. Members are more devotees of laughter yoga laughter therapy based on yoga principles and exercises. It is often, and perhaps rightly, said that laughing is good for the heart as well as the soul. According to research presented to the American College of Cardiology, laughing appears to boost blood flow, and researchers say it may reduce your risk of developing heart disease. Researchers have found that laughing for half an hour increases blood flow by more than 20 per cent — a similar effect to that of aerobic activity. On the other hand, it was observed that stress decreased the flow by about 35 percent. Laughter exercise is suited for sedentary people and those who are confined to bed or wheelchair. Moreover, scientific studies show that laughing increases the amount of immunoglobulins, natural killer cells and T cells in the body, which fight infection and tumors. It also helps in easing pain, so if your grandchildren are in pain, have them watch comedies and they will soon relax and forget their pain! Many nurses have found that telling humorous jokes to their patients before administering a painful treatment reduced the patient’s discomfort level. In stressful times, laughing lifts your mood and lowers levels of stress hormone. Laughing can be good for diabetic people, too. In one study, people who watched a funny video during dinner had lower blood sugar after dinner. On the other hand, blood sugar was high in people who watched a lecture video during dinner. Lastly, when you laugh, your face becomes red due to an increase in blood supply, which nourishes the facial skin and makes it glow. Laughter really may be the best medicine— so ha ha ha!

Household hazards for kids
The levels of dangerous chemicals we are exposed to during our everyday routine have increased at an alarming rate over the past 100 years and it does not look like this trend will be changing any time soon. This chemical exposure bombards our bodies through many different sources including the air we breathe, the foods and liquids we drink, and the cleaning products we use. While there are some limitations and regulations concerning toxic exposures, there are products initially considered to be safe that have been found to be quite harmful to our health. One of the most challenging issues regarding toxicity in humans is that the majority of “safe levels of exposure” are determined for an adult population; children’s exposure levels often are not considered. In fact, it is now known that children are usually much more sensitive to the same chemicals that may not have as much of a negative effect on the adult population. It is now being discovered that many popular everyday products are now being shown to be toxic to babies and children. Here are five household items that need to be investigated before they are purchased. Infant formula: The scariest fact is that this is even included in a

list of hazardous items. The problem with many infant formulas is that most contain the very common pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide cupric sulfate. This chemical has been linked to over 50 different adverse health effects. While formula has been marketed as a convenient replacement for breast feeding, the benefits (if any) do not outweigh the risks. Vitamins are important for kids right? Yes, but unfortunately not all are created equal. The popular Flintstone’s brand vitamins marketed as “pediatricians’ number one choice” contain toxic ingredients. This brand of pediatric vitamin contains aspartame – a toxic artificial sweetener, E colours (food dyes) derivied from coal tar or petroleum – linked to ADHD, cupric oxide – deemed unsafe for human and animal consumption, and sorbitol – a sugar alcohol linked to digestive problems. Bath products are also a frequent “toxic offender.” Many childhood bath products are found to contain formaldehyde, which, according to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), is a probable cancer causing chemical that is linked to skin allergies and cancer. Caffeine is found naturally in some food products, but serious problems occur when extra amounts are
added to foods and drinks to provide that “needed boost of energy.” In 2010 and in 2012 there were even a handful of deaths caused by caffeine toxicity following excess consumption of ‘energy drinks.’ Even more alarming, companies are adding caffeine to childhood candy such as gum and jelly beans. In fact, Wrigley’s released a gum that contained the same amount of caffeine found in 4 cups of coffee. Gum that was intended to give busy adults a boost will no doubt inadvertently end up in a child’s mouth. The fifth item on the list of offenders is BPA (Bispenol-A). This is one of the highest-volume chemicals produced in the world because it is used in the manufacturing of many consumer and food plastics. BPA has been shown to cause developmental delays and birth defects in children. Even some of the worst health challenges like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes are being found to be linked to BPA exposure. Unfortunately we are surrounded by chemicals every day so it is imperative we make a continued and conscious effort to avoid these toxins whenever possible. Even more important is to protect our children from unnecessary exposure. Do your research before every purchase.

If you were to ask any square dancer what the best thing about square dancing is; of course the first answer would be, “the dancing”. The second reply would be the people and the familial friendship that come with the dance. During the Annual Classic Car Show on Sunday, August 11th, square dancers from the Ta’Lana Twirlers (Blind Bay), the Enderby River Dancers and the Salmon Arm Squares shared that friendship and much laughter as they twirled around the patio behind the museum. Many were new dancers who graduated this past Spring and found that they still have what it takes to do-se-do. Allan Peterson of Salmon Arm provided upbeat music as a backdrop to his calling the different movements within each square. When invited to join the dancers, many spectators were hesitant to get out there and do it.

ROOTS & BLUES FESTIVAL BEST EVER
Could it get any better? This year the food vendors were happy, the artisans were happy, and every stage had a packed audience for every performance. Attendance was up from last year. The weather was perfect. It was windy at times but there was no storm as predicted, and no extreme heat. Something new this year was no music on stages between 5 and 6 p.m. People wandered around, had something to eat, checked the artisan displays, and enjoyed the buskers throughout the grounds. “Viva Salmon Arm,” Saturday night’s emcee yelled between acts, wrote a reporter in the Kamloops Daily News. Hundreds of people cheered in response. A highlight on Sunday evening during the City and Colour performance was when a man in the audience waited for a certain song, and when it came, he proposed to his girlfriend. Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green saw it, stopped singing, and went down from the stage with his microphone and asked the couple their names. Everyone cheered.
ADVERTISING WORKS!
The festival was short of volunteers so it used an advertising blitz and the community responded. Many new people offered to help and in the end, there were more volunteers than the festival was hoping to get. Salmon Arm Roots & Blues advertised far and wide and in many media. It encouraged people to sign up for its newsletter and it kept them informed and excited about the entertainers that signed on to be at the festival. They were informed when tickets were available and when they were on sale.
2012 FESTIVAL WAS ALSO THE BEST
A year ago a Google user posted this review of the Roots & Blues in Salmon Arm: “This is a fantastic, world class music festival. I go every year and get my musical tastes stretched. This year was the best ever. Very well organized and a great, friendly atmosphere.”
FREE DISPLAY AT PICCADILLY FOR SIGN-UP
If your community group or business needs people to register for a fall and winter program, it can have a free display table at Piccadilly from Sept. 9-14, which is fall sign-up week in the mall. Leave brochures and information at your table, but have a volunteer there on Friday and Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. to register individuals for fall programs. To book your group’s space, call the mall’s administration office at 250-832-0441.
METAL RECYCLING MOVES CLOSER TO TOWN
A few years ago 11-year-old James O’Brien started collecting scrap metal in his family’s farmyard in the Notch Hill area. When it was picked up by a buyer and James was paid, the young lad was amazed! That much for so little? He could have a business! The family helped James find a name: Scrappy’s Metal Recycling. Word got around and soon more metals were being delivered to the O’Brien yard. Yes, the farmyard. But the yard is not zoned for such a business. Columbia Shuswap Regional District issued an edict: rezone the yard or close the business. A search for an alternate location led the family to move the metal recycling to Indian Reserve land just outside Salmon Arm. It does not require zoning and is well off the highway. Its driveway is opposite the driveway to Fisher’s Funeral Home. Metals and appliances can be delivered day or night; automotive batteries need to come in the daytime so payment can be issued. It’s a family business so do not be surprised if James is assisted on the lot by his siblings, father Mike, mother Sarah, or a grandpa.
BE PATIENT DURING HIGHWAY WIDENING
Sign on the highway outside DeMille’s Produce where traffic gets backed up for highway widening for Smart Centres and Walmart: “Doesn’t this traffic suck?”
WALMART’S EXPECTED OPENING
The latest rumour has Salmon Arm’s Walmart opening in October. In my application, I asked to be a greeter on opening day. Very shortly, preparation will begin for the next two businesses to be built at the SmartCentres’ property.
ONLY IN A SMALL COMMUNITY
When I picked up my new 10-year passport that came by Xpresspost and opened it right there, the postal clerk said she read in my column that I had applied for it. The cost for a 10-year passport is $160. A five-year passport costs $120, but a renewal in five years will cost another $120.
MANY CHANGES IN THE NEW PASSPORT
The absolute best feature in the new passport is the electronic chip that is embedded in the back cover. It stores all the personal information and picture of the owner, plus a digital security feature that proves it was issued by the Government of Canada. On page 4, I will write in pencil my permanent address. (Are they kidding? We move fairly often as we age, with the
final one likely being hospice.) Also on page 4 it wants the name and address of the person to be notified in case of my accident or death. I will also write in pencil about son-number-one. As recommended in one of the pamphlets that came with the passport, I will scan the page with my photo and e-mail it to myself and son-number-one. I will also photocopy it and place the copy in a small plastic bag inside my cosmetic case. The brochure recommends putting the copy in the suitcase, but when I travel light, I might take an Askew’s shopping bag and not a suitcase; but I always take the cosmetic case.

Part of a movie about the start of Disneyland will be shot in cornfields of Grindrod and Enderby, with George Clooney playing an inventor, or Walt Disney. The internet has both. Okanagan Film Commissioner Jon Summerland has confirmed that Disney’s Tomorrowland will be shooting in the North Okanagan starting late this summer and into the fall. He says the plot focuses on Walt Disney, Disneyland and the Tomorrowland section of the well-known theme park. There are 300 people and five acres of trucks coming for the shoot. Filming was scheduled to start Aug 19, and continue on and off through to mid-September. The film set is not open to the public.
SALMON ARM DOESN’T NEED A BROTHEL
Son-number-one went to church in Salmon Arm last Sunday. Over coffee, a woman who knew that Peter proofreads my column before it goes in the paper, asked how he could let me write that Salmon Arm needs a brothel. He replied because he agrees that it needs one. He said Salmon Arm has prostitution and they agreed that a brothel is not the sort of small business the Chamber of Commerce normally has in mind.
HOUSE NUMBERS ARE IMPORTANT
When I was knocking on doors in Blind Bay, encouraging people to vote for Greg Kyllo in the provincial election some months ago, I had trouble seeing many house numbers. Some had no number at all. In some cases several homes shared a driveway. I wished every home had its number at the entrance to the driveway as well as on the house. Suppose a 911 call was placed and police, fire, ambulance or first responders were unable to see the house number. Precious minutes would be lost. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831 The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of Sally Scales and do not necessarily represent those of Lakeshore News and its staff.

When asked to switch on my computer I explained [lied] that I was in my living room and the computer was down in the basement and would have to be running up and down. No wireless phone. Every instruction was followed by,”Hang on, I’ll be back.”

Several times I would say, “Sorry, I made a mistake. Could you repeat?” When typing info, I invariably ‘made mistakes’ and had to go and find pencil and paper... “Hang on,” I would say. After 20 mins or so the caller seemed to be ‘closing in’ on me so I needed an ‘escape strategy.’ I would leave my chair, ring the doorbell and hold the phone up to the chimes. “Somebody at the door. Hang on! Have to go but would still like more info re. my computer.”

Or, I would suddenly yell, “OK, dear I’m coming,” and explain [lie] that my wife was ill in bed and needed me. “Hang on!” “Got to go, but would still like more info later.” Then I would press the ‘pause ‘ button again and carry on with my TV program. This happened over a two week period. I haven’t had another call for the last two weeks or so. G. Neal, Salmon Arm

A LOVING TRIBUTE
Residential Tenancy Act keeps rents high
In response to B. Campbell’s letter published August 16, 2013. I feel I must respond to the letter written by B. Campbell, as for the most part I agree with him. As a landlord I myself have had several problems with bad tenants during the past year including having the police visit the rental several times as well as having the fire department attend at least once. When I moved from my previous residence two years ago and decided that it would be a good idea to rent it out instead of selling it, little did I know just how skewed the Residential Tenancy Act is in flavor of the tenant. In most cases, it is almost impossible to evict a malicious tenant with less than three months’ notice. Imagine the stress knowing that you have people causing damage to your property and realizing that they will be there every day for three more months until you can legally force them out. I can see how the R.T.A. serves a purpose to protect tenants from being evicted without cause so the landlord can raise the rent as they want. In large cities this is certainly a consideration. Something that our lawmakers have failed to consider is the fact that they are actually hurting the very people they are trying to protect because of the current lopsided, pro-tenant biased regulations that are driving up the cost of rent. These rules are making landlords ensure that if they are going to rent their property, they will get well paid for the stress and problems that it brings, and thus, they are charging higher rent. Mr. Campbell, you are not alone in not wanting
to rent to anyone. After the problems of this past year, I myself have shut my door to the idea. I know one couple who have two out of three of their investment properties sitting idle because it is cheaper to leave them empty than to incur the cost of repair that can add up to thousands of dollars in a very short time should the wrong tenant get in. If all these residences were being rented, the resulting influx of available rentals would no doubt drive the cost of rent down in the area–simple supply and demand. What the law fails also to take into consideration is that the landlord/property owner has invested tens or more likely, hundreds of thousands of dollars in their part of the contract whilst the only thing the tenant brings to the deal is a monthly payment. As for naming bad tenants, I would love to see a website that landlords could go to, check for, and post the names of bad tenants as well as good ones, but of course the legal implications prevent such a website from existing. If you do decide to rent to someone, only rent to people with references whom you personally contact to verify. As well, make sure you stipulate in the contract that you will come around and inspect the residence on a monthly basis. Then make sure you do the inspections. I also agree that our MLA Greg Kyllo would serve his constituents well by taking on this action to get a fair, workable set of rules in place in BC. Howard Vangool, Salmon Arm

CROSSWORD
As if there weren’t enough benefits to flossing, here’s one more: New research has shown a direct link between flossing your teeth and cardiovascular risk. For many years it was unclear whether poor oral health was simply correlated with heart disease risk factors or whether the relationship was more direct. But recent studies have suggested that periodontal bacteria can enter the bloodstream through the gums, possibly damaging blood vessels and leading to clots.

Aquarius, a hectic schedule is compromising your ability to stay focused on the tasks at hand. You may need some help sorting some things out.
SUDOKU
There are enough diversions around to take your mind off of your problems, Pisces. They may not disappear, but you can address some issues later. Aries, no matter how hard you work, you just cannot seem to get ahead this week. Instead of tiring yourself unnecessarily, take a break and regroup. Taurus, although you have many questions, the answers will not come so easily to you in the next few days. Bide your time for a revelation.
GEMINI
It will be really difficult to put you in a bad mood this week, Gemini. Your energy and cheer will be a bright light to those around you, so enjoy the next few days.
CANCER
Cancer, you may want to be friends with everyone, but you may have to accept that you have a few people who just do not meld with your interests. Hang out with those who do.
LEO
Exercise can do more than just keep you physically fit, Leo. It also can help boost your mood when you need a pick-me-up, which could be the case in the near future.
VIRGO
Virgo, each time you think the grass will be greener somewhere else, you quickly learn it is not the case. Learn to appreciate what you have, and you will be glad for having done so.
LIBRA
Libra, generosity will endear you to others, but you have to be generous for the right reasons. It’s not a good idea to build friendships on false pretenses.

Nasty letters from CRA? No worries
by June Griswold This is a version of Holsman’s first mass produced motor vehicles, the High Wheeler. Holsman’s motto was “High Wheels Travel all Roads Because All Roads Are made To be Travelled By High Wheels” An ad states the “Oldest motor-buggy makers in America- 1902-1908. New Model $550.00” The buggy ran on narrow, wooden hub and spoke wheels with solid rubber tires 1-1/4 inches thick. Vic Henry built this model from scraps he had around his place. The tires supplied and installed by Danley Carriage and Wheel in Armstrong. Vic added
an electric start which he designed to avoid having to pull the rope. The early Holsman’s used a unique rope drive but because it slipped badly on rainy days, it was changed to wrapped chain cable in 1906. Similarly, Vic began with the rope drive on his vehicle but changed it to a v-belt drive because the rope drive kept slipping. Vic had this buggy at Grindrod Days on August 10th & 11th. He is a member of the Shuswap Pioneer Collectors Club, so plans to have the buggy at the Salmon Arm Fall Fair September 6, 7, & 8th. Photo contributed by June Griswold
Letters to the Editor Past mayor accomplished much
I was sad to hear of the passing of the former mayor, Don Rogers, whose council was elected in 1990 for a three year term. The many accomplishments of this council were most impressive, stemming from a cohesive group of councillors who were determined to make a difference. The inauguration of the transit system was high on the list, particularly since the region was populated by an increasingly senior demographic. On the financial side, the demands of upgrading of the aging infrastructure was increasingly expensive and, if spread over the whole urban area, would be prohibitive. The idea of limiting development to the already-serviced part of the town was deemed to be of paramount importance in keeping taxes at a reasonable level. Leapfrog subdivisions and urban sprawl were equally frowned upon. Areas A, B and C were to be developed in turn. The first ten year financial plan developed under the leadership of lan Wickett was more that unusually detailed and represented advanced insights into possible future needs. In planning areas, the community plan was revised with much greater provisions for parks, green space, trails and sensitive areas. The plan eventually proved to be one of the most environmentally aware in the whole province and served as a template for other communities. Anxious to encourage the huge
number of volunteers who served the community, and embarrassed by the old system in which councillors had to give a nod or a negative as to which group of volunteers received grants in aid, the mayor set up a committee of responsible citizens whose task it was to create the Shuswap Community Foundation. Its grants would benefit volunteer groups around the Shuswap littoral, not merely Salmon Arm. Since then, the growth of that organization has been quite extraordinary. In another enlightened initiative, Alderman Dorothy Argent and Dr. Mary Thomas dreamed up the idea of restoring the much-eroded banks of the Salmon River. Mayor Don and his council adopted the idea and the Round Table was established, perhaps the first such group in the province. Over the intervening years, an estimated 60% of the banks have been improved. Although a previous council had allowed building on the wetlands north of the railway tracks, council’s concern about the development eventually resulted in additional acreage being added to the wildlife sanctuary and a reduction from one hundred twenty homes to the present twelve. It is hard to exaggerate his influence in those early 1990’s when so many improvements to our community took place, many through the farsightedness of Don and his council. Tom Brighouse, Salmon Arm
Watch out! It’s the time of year when the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) sends out their post assessment review letters for individuals who filed their tax returns electronically. If you receive one of these letters you are probably thinking, “I’m being audited. I’m in trouble!” However, there is no need to worry unless of course you actually have done something wrong. When your return is filed electronically, no original receipts are sent into CRA. So the electronic tax filing system is essentially an honour system. Unfortunately, with any honour system there will be those who are claiming deductions or credits to which they’re not entitled; whether purposely or accidentally. Therefore, CRA conducts random checks to keep everyone honest. If you get chosen, don’t take it personally. In most cases a computer simply spits the letter out if you’ve claimed a large deduction or credit. The typical items checked are medical, donations, and moving expenses, but CRA can ask for verification of anything. The most common item CRA likes to review is medical expenses. This makes sense, as more and more people are claiming large sums of medical expenses on their tax returns and also because it can be complicated as to how and what you are allowed to claim. In particular, travel expenses incurred for medical purposes are often misunderstood so CRA likes to verify these amounts. Therefore, they need to be tracked carefully. Some people write all the details onto a calendar. Others keep a detailed diary of their medical travel. Either way, it’s important to keep track of dates, where you went, whom you saw and why. Also, CRA will want a letter from your doctor confirming that the medical services/ treatment you received out of town were necessary and couldn’t be received any closer to home. The most important thing to remember is to be sure you keep your original receipts. The rule of thumb is to keep all of your receipts etc. for at least seven years. Don’t assume that just because CRA didn’t ask for verification of an item in a given year that they won’t a few years down the road. Also, be sure to take a photocopy of what you send. You don’t want to be in a position where you’ve sent your only copy to CRA and they’ve then misplaced or “never received” the information. If you’re organized and have all your information, then you have nothing to worry about. If you don’t, they won’t take you away in handcuffs, but they will disallow the amount claimed and then charge you interest and penalties. If you are like me, I’d rather be organized and keep the money in my pockets instead of giving it to our friends in Ottawa.

Letters to the Editor
Clarification of opinion versus fact
I was not completely surprised to see another response from Fearghus Dicker in regards to the vaccine freedom of choice article I wrote (dated July 5, 2013). From his two responses it is clear he does not agree that the public should be free to choose whether or not they are injected with vaccines. Considering this, I can assure him that we will never agree on this subject and that it is best left alone. He is free to continue following his beliefs, but is not welcome to impose them on others. I am writing this reply to correct Mr. Dicker’s false claim that the “Centers for Disease Control in the USA have provided an overwhelming body of research … that denies any link between vaccines and autism”. If he had looked on the CDC website he would have read this exact statement: “There is some evidence that the critical period for developing Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) occurs before birth. However, concerns about vaccines and infections have led researchers to consider risk factors before and after birth”. One may be able to form an opinion such as Mr. Dicker’s if they choose to ONLY look at specific research that supports their beliefs. However, just because there has not been a paper published titled, “The Definitive Unbiased Answer to the Cause of Autism” does not mean such research is not available. Once again, considering the limitations of space available for this article, a thorough and complete review of the current research would fill a book. Mr. Dicker would like to believe all research concerning the link between vaccines and ASD has been refuted and discredited. There are literally hundreds of published, peer reviewed biomedical papers dating as far back as 16 years before Dr. Wakefield published his famous papers. These studies address vaccine-induced brain inflammation and chronic brain and immune system dysfunction, including autism. Below is a tiny sampling of the research available: Comparison of Blood and Brain Mercury Levels in Infant Monkeys Exposed to Methylmercury or Vaccines Containing Thimerosal. Environmental
Welcome Back Danniella Bentley Chris and staff would like to welcome her back.
Health Perspectives Aug 2005. This study demonstrates clearly and unequivocally that ethyl mercury, the kind of mercury found in vaccines, not only ends up in the brain, but leaves double the amount of inorganic mercury as methyl mercury, the kind of mercury found in fish. Evidence of Parallels between Mercury Intoxication and the brain Pathology in Autism. Acta Neurobiol Exp 2012. A direct quote from this paper, “This study found 20 direct parallels between Mercury intoxication and Autism. The evidence suggests that mercury may be either causal or contributory in the brain pathology in ASD” This paper references a further 333 separate published papers. Neuroglial Activation and Neuroinflammation in the Brain of Patients with Autism. Annals of Neurology, Feb 2005. This study found the brains of autistic children are suffering from inflammation. Activation of Methionine Synthase by Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 and Dopamine: a Target for Neurodevelopmental Toxins and Thimerosal. Molecular Psychiatry, July 2004. Excerpt: “A recent analysis of data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, maintained by the Centers for Disease Control, found a significant correlation between the use of the thimerosal-containing formulation (vs the thimerosol-free formulation) of the Diphtheria, Tetanus and acellular Pertussis (DTaP) vaccine and autism. The potent inhibition of this pathway [methylation] by ethanol, lead, mercury, aluminum, and thimerosal suggests it may be an important target of neurodevelopmental toxins. Empirical Data Confirm Autism Symptoms Related to Aluminum and Acetaminophen Exposure. Entropy, November 7, 2012 Quote: “We propose that children with the autism diagnosis are especially vulnerable to toxic metals such as aluminum and mercury... A strong correlation between autism and the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine is also observed, which may be partially explained via an increased sensitivity to acetaminophen administered to control fever.”

Large Brains in Autism: The Challenge of Pervasive Abnormality. The Neuroscientist, 2005. “neuroinflammation appears to be present in autistic brain tissue from childhood through adulthood... chronic disease or an external environmental source (like heavy metals) may be causing the inflammation.” I have another 400 page list of papers suggesting links between metal toxicity (mercury and aluminum etc) and brain inflammation and immune system dysfunction, but I think you get the point. Heavy metals that enter brain tissues (and stay) are by no means the only issues to consider in this debate. What is also concerning is the absence of studies that show the current mutiple-vaccine schedule is completely safe. A committee in the Institute of Medicine in the US acknowledged that only 37 studies have reviewed the safety of the current recommended multiple dose schedule for children under 6 years of age. They also admitted this lack of good scientific research could not determine whether the number of doses and timing is, or is not, related to the development of chronic health problems. Another concern is the lack of research comparing the health of unvaccinated vs vaccinated populations. At present researchers are primarily looking at differences among individuals who ALL are vaccinated. That is comparable to analyzing cancer rates in 1-pack a day smokers compared to 2-pack a day smokers. Finally, it is not a big-pharma conspiracy theory to express concerns over the commonly reported (and more commonly unreported) biases of researchers employed or sponsored by the manufacturers of the products in question. It is clear Mr. Dicker’s unwavering, passionately-held beliefs prevent him from objectively examining the readily available research on this topic; however, his behavior is not a new phenomena. A very fitting quote from the 1800’s by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer states “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third it is accepted as being self-evident.” Safe to say we are in the “violently opposed stage”... So once again, as I say to anyone who asks my opinion on this topic, there are risks with not vaccinating, and there are risks to vaccinating. It is just unfortunate that many who have full, blind faith in vaccines, simply choose to not accept, or unfortunately not even read research that may suggest otherwise.

Water use in changing times
As fishery officers, we had a very wide range of duties we had to perform, as well as being well-versed in all aspects of the Fisheries and Wildlife Acts. We had to know about habitat, stream and forest harvesting regulations; pollution. But the diciest of all was the Water Act, or rather, lack of any regulation covering groundwater. There were times when we were called out to intervene in a dispute between neighbours, over who had 1st, 2nd and or 3rd rights on a stream or spring. All this is tied into water flowing from or into a salmon- or trout-bearing main creek or river, to protect fish. In a rural setting, first came domestic water use, and how much was allocated per household; then agriculture use. This grandfathered back to the rightful owner of the property, with records kept by the water management branch. In a very dry summer with dwindling flows (Salmon River), newer water rights holders had to stop agriculture use. Some disputes were so serious that

by Hank Shelley they resulted in physical harm to neighbours/land owners. For irrigating forage crops like corn/alfalfa/ market gardening, as well as for household use, water is so very precious, it’s more than a commodity – it’s life itself, part of everyday living. So now in the forefront of the news, was the disclosure that Nestle Canada is taking 265 million litres of water per year from its bottling plant at Hope, BC. Further, Canadian Springs draws 9 million litres per year from a source near Chilliwack to be bottled and sold, just to name two. The irony is, we buy back our own water from these large companies, and they don’t pay one red cent to extract some of the best water in the world. The problem? No groundwater regulation by the BC government, and antiquated laws on the taking and use of the supply. We live in the

thing about it. My goodness, how absurd does this get, with no intestinal fortitude and incompetence, to give these companies a permit in the first place, through the water management branch of the BC government, then have no control or records of how much water is withdrawn from each source. Even if the government charged the bottling companies 2 to 5 cents a litre, it would help pay down some of our provincial debt. One cent per litre times 265 million litres would provide about $2,650,000. There are other issues of course. The Wildlife Act was supposed to be updated back in 2010. As well, minimal fines for bad guys. The violation tickets we wrote, for those who break the fish/game/wildlife regulations came with minor fines, at $100 to $300, and now we have fewer officers in the

field than ever before! Examples include Quesnel, Clearwater, and Merritt–a poacher’s paradise, you could say. Reports indicate that big-business oil and gas leaks were kept under wraps from the public, and millions of gallons of water a day is used for fracking oil/gas. This is use of pure water. The list goes on, and it’s no wonder folks get disillusioned with our politicians, and how the government departments are run– namely, with fewer staff shouldering a heavier work load. As for water extraction by a number of large companies, the government says new compliance legislation is coming in the 2014 sitting of the legislature. It just seems that after years in the public service, even federally, things need a darn good shake up. Canada is a wonderful place to live, but it appears we are on a slippery slope into the water!

SPORTS & LEISURE New sport is played with relish
By Howard Vangool According to its players, it is the fastest growing sport in the world today. Pickleball is a cross between tennis, badminton and ping pong; and now with the new outdoor courts (above) that have opened at Club Shuswap (on the highway between Salmon Arm and Canoe), it can be played just about anytime in the area. Pickleball is played with a wooden racquet that is just a little larger than a ping pong paddle and smaller than a tennis racquet. The ball is a large whiffle ball – hollow, with holes (inset photo, above right). The sport itself is easy to learn that is gentler on the body than tennis and therefore suitable for seniors to play and get adequate exercise in an enjoyable
manner. Pickleball’s popularity is growing in leaps and bounds in places like Arizona, where a great many tennis courts are being converted to pickleball courts. Two tennis courts can be converted to four pickle ball courts, which is what happened at Club Shuswap when a group of volunteers got together to do the conversion. Jeff Gerard got the ball rolling when he asked Bruce of Club Shuswap if they could convert the unused tennis courts into pickleball courts. The owners of Club Shuswap are forward thinking as shows with the vast improvements to the golf course since they acquired it less than ten years ago. Having added several beautiful and challenging new holes higher up to take

advantage of the spectacular views, as well as doing a lot of general improvements to the existing holes, they have ended up with a spectacular course that offers something to golfers of all skill levels. One thing they didn’t change was the very reasonably-priced green fees and walk-on golfing that the locals really love. Naturally, with this positive attitude, when approached about the old tennis courts that had long been abandoned and used as a parking lot for golf carts and storage for other golf course paraphernalia, they were very accommodating. They supplied the materials and a group of pickleball players volunteered themselves to the arduous tasks of cleaning and patching the courts. This was no easy task, as there were several cracks that needed filling and it took three volunteers just to hold onto and control the big sanding machine they used to smooth out the patchwork. This being done, they carefully painted the course and lines. Now with brand new pickleball courts to play on, people of all ages are able to come and check out the game. Court fees are just $4.50 to play up to three hours, and there are some loaner clubs and balls for people who would like to try it. Stories abound as to how pickleball got its name, including a common one that it is named after a dog named Pickle; but according to wikipe-
dia.org, the dog was named after the game. What is known is that the game was invented in Washington by Joel Pritchard in 1965 when his and his friends
families were bored and looking for something to do. Since then, the game has taken off and become popular with all age groups. Thirteen year old Trajan Boyd informs me that he has played it at school several times, and that his school has the court lines painted on the floor. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the courts (pictured below), there were people of all ages although the majority of folks were over fifty. In fact, on the merchandise table was a racquet for sale that was called “The Snowbird,” a
clear indicator of the group it is being marketed to, and which is also indicative of the playability of the game. This game is a great way to meet new friends while getting some easy exercise at the same time. As the players send the ball back and forth across the net, you can hear gentle jibes such as “Stay out of the kitchen or you’ll have to do the dishes.” The ‘kitchen’ is a small area in front of both sides of the net where, if a player is inside of, they must let the ball bounce before sending it back across the net. Another pickleball quote, “No big dill,” can be heard from a teammate after a falter on a serve. That same teammate might also tell his counterpart to put some mustard on it so s/he can ketchup. If you would like to learn more about pickleball, contact Linda at 250-832-6579 and you too can soon be playing pickleball with “relish” because, according to the turnout at the grand opening of the pickleball courts on Tuesday night, pickleball is a big dill in Salmon Arm!

Horseshoe Club hosts busy tournament
By Faith Juell The Salmon Arm Horseshoe Club held another successful and busy tournament on August 17th and 18th, with a total of nearly 40 pitchers competing. Competitors traveled from Terrace, Quesnel, Trail, Golden, Cloverdale, and clubs throughout the Okanagan valley for a weekend of pitching and fellowship. Members were glad to see Andy Danyleyko return to pitching. Andy was also the oldest competitor, pitching to a high game of 80% ringers. The lady with the highest pitching average in A division was Juanita Laye, at 62%. The newest member participating on Saturday was Dan Smith; and
on Sunday, Dee Smith. The home player with the highest percentage was Amy, with 77.8%. Some local winners include Amy Kedd and Marlow Marshall each placing first in their respective divisions. In Men’s play, Matt Honkanen placed first in Elders A, while Lyle Cutler was first in Elders C. President Doug Winslow placed second in E class, following a playoff with Ted Honkala who placed third in the same class; and Edwin Krieg coming in third in D class. A special thank you goes out to the Saturday judges, namely Bill Muloin, with the morning shift; and Robin Degraaf, in the afternoon. As well, the club
would like to thank all the grill cooks, kitchen helpers and bakers, as well as raffle table donors. On Sunday, competitors enjoyed mixed double play following a wonderful pancake breakfast cooked by Edwin and Clarence. Ten teams of 2 competed in 9 games with Matt Honkanen’s team placing first; Lyle Cutler’s team placing second; and Pat Rookes’ team placing third. Again, thank you to Bill Muloin for looking after the tournament results on Sunday. The next event for the local horseshoe club are the 2013 BC Seniors Games, taking place in Kamloops from August 20th to 24th.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT 21st Annual
Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival
Cuban group plays Salmar
This well-known Cuban ensemble was started in 1999 by the talented brothers Rosel and Yordanis Lamoru, and was later joined by singer/bassist Julio Avila Gainza. In 2002, then known as Brisas del Palmar, they received the popularity prize and in 2003 they were awarded the prize of the best trio in all of Latin America. The musicians are credited for researching and reviving some of Cuba’s musical legacy such as the bolero, son and guaracha. They have now evolved into a group of seven. Their music is featured daily on
Cuban National Radio and they have recently performed for Pope Benedict. These charismatic musical ambassadors of Cuba captivate audiences from 2 years old to 92 years young. Their voices, their instruments and their energy vibrate through the concert hall. Their style is pure and very beautiful, reflecting the rich musical heritage of their tropical island. All guitars are traditional instruments. Rosel Lamoru, lead singer of the group, plays the classic Spanish guitar and is master of every Latin rhythm there is. His brother Yordanis is a fine singer as well, and plays a guitar called ”Requinto” with fluency and great taste. A guitar called “Quatro” is played by Javier Rodriguesz Gonzales, who is considered the best player of his instrument in Cuba and rivals Paco Lucia with his virtuosity. Alejandro Duany plays a guitar
called “Tres.” He is a composer and received a gold medal upon graduating from the conservatory Esteban Salas at Santiago de Cuba. Brian Yonis Medina graduated from the same conservatory and is famous for playing the congas, bongos, claves, compana and hi hay. Julio Avila Gainza plays the upright contra bass and sings with an extraordinary voice. He received his first bass as a gift from Vilma Espin, the late wife of Cuban President Raul Castro. Percussionist Hamilton Feraud is an outstanding singer as well and is a member of the popular Cuban chorus Madrigalista. Until mid-August they performed around Vancouver and Whistler. Then they traveled to Chateau Lake Louise, Edmonton and Calgary. On Wednesday, August 28th, they will be performing in the Salmar Classic Theatre, 360 Alexander St. Tickets are $24 for adults; $18 for seniors/students; and free for children under 12. (GST included in prices). El Grupo Cubano has requested BC accordion champion Bill Helmer of Blaeberry, BC to be their regional coordinator and also play along a few tunes on his squeeze box. Bill has been awarded first prize in the open Accordion competition of 1960 which was held in the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver. He has also had his door smashed in with a double-bladed logger’s axe in Vancouver by a furious tenant who threatened to knock his accordion right off him if he didn’t quit practicing instantly! For accordion fans this may be a fun evening as well. Cuban guitars and piano accordion make up a surprisingly neat musical fusion. Visit www.elgrupocubano.com to find more details on the band or tour dates.
Clockwise from top left: Dallas Green of City and Colour closes out the festival on the main stage Sunday night; the rousing Berlinski Beat borrows one of the leather bagpipes from their alter ego band Corvus Corax; Ky-Mani Marley drums out a reggae rhythm; and the Mississippi Heat displays some guitar prowess.

Classical concert
George Frederick Handel’s Water Music is a set of suites that was originally performed for a huge royal party held by King George I of England on July 17, 1717. The party was held with guests and 50 musicians on the Royal Barge floating down the River Thames joined by many other boats that crowded the river for a view of the spectacle. Chamber Musicians of Kamloops are a group of professional musicians who promote chamber music in different settings, including private house concerts. The Brandenburg Orchestra is a group of amateur musicians who enjoy playing the various Brandenburg Concerti by J. S. Bach. They are joining together under the direction of Kamloops and Okanagan violinist Cvetozar Vutev. The thirty-four piece band consisting of strings, trumpets, flutes, oboe, French horn, bassoon and keyboard will perform in period costume at the gazebo in Marine Park. This free concert takes place Friday, August 30, 7:00 p.m. As an extension of Wednesday on the Wharf, people can bring their chairs and blankets to the park to take in this show fit for a king.
Raffle winners
The winners of the 2013 Roots and Blues Raffle, licensed to the Salmon Arm Folk Music Society (license # 55271) are as follows: First prize, a Waterway Houseboat Vacation for up to 16 people, was won by Chris Beadle of Vancouver. Second prize, a Richmond Belmont Guitar donated by Acorn Music and Godin Guitars, was won by Doug Jones of Trail. Third prize, a two-night stay in a designer theme suite at Salmon Arm Prestige Harbourfront Hotel, was won by Vina Thompson of Maple Ridge. Fourth prize, a Norco Charger 9.3 bike with helmet and accessories, donated by Skookum Cycle and Ski, was won by Liz Anderson of Salmon Arm. Fifth prize, four passes and merchandise for the 2014 Roots and Blues Festival, was won by Dusan Parobek of New Westminster. The winners were drawn at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 18 at the festival.

Help Outrun Cancer in Your Community, Become Part of the Organizing Committee in Salmon Arm Salmon Arm, BC - “My quest would not be a selfish one. I could not leave knowing these faces and feelings would still exist, even though I would be set free from mine.” The people who look for the possibilities in an impossible task often make the difference, and Terry Fox was one of those people. It was Terry’s determination towards his ultimate goal - to outrun cancer - that exemplifies the importance of leading by example. Terry ran 5,373 kilometers in 143 days with the goal of seeking a cure for those affected by cancer and giving those around him something to hold onto - hope. This year marks the 33rd annual Terry Fox Run and volunteers are needed to help organize and execute the Run in the Salmon Arm community. By becoming a Run volunteer, you become an integral part of the entire Run event. Volunteers are needed to join the organizing committee and also for various Run day duties for this meaningful cause, as the Run is fast approaching and is taking place on Sunday September 15. Cliff and Fran Evans have organized the Salmon Arm Run since 2004 and have enjoyed the opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause while engaging fellow community members. “Being minutes away from the communities of Sorrento, Blind and Eagle Bay, Sicamous, Grinrod and Enderby, Salmon Arm is a great location for this year’s Terry Fox Run,” says Cliff Evans. “We invite you all to come join us and contribute in any way that you can.” Every contribution matters, and like Terry, we will continue to work together to outrun cancer. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for the Terry Fox Run in Salmon Arm, please contact Cliff and Fran Evans, Salmon Arm Run Organizers by email at evafc@shaw.ca or by phone at 250-804-0376. Remember, the Runs are non-competitive and all inclusive; the registration fee is by donation and there is no minimum pledge amount. For more information about The Terry Fox Foundation, visit www.terryfox.org. For more information contact: The Terry Fox Foundation, BC & Yukon 1-888-836-9786 or bcyukon@terryfoxrun.org Charitable Business Number: 10809 9979 RR001

Celebrating the possibilities with singer-songwriter Justin Hines The Shuswap Association for Community Living is proud to host the Vehicle of Change Tour, featuring the talented and prominent Canadian singer/songwriter Justin Hines. Justin is working with non-profit organizations at an international level, and SACL is pleased to have him join us in Salmon Arm on September 4th for a one night concert, to inspire
change and charity through song and story. With SACL celebrating its 50th year of service, their goal is to move forward with our community partners to bring awareness and recognition–not to recognize people by physical or intellectual disabilities, but to look beyond any perceived disability to discover and celebrate the individual possibilities.
If you, your business or club is offering a course that can enhance someone’s life, or if you are part of a group seeking members ... advertise in the Lakeshore News’ popular Sign Up section.
To book your space, phone Chris or Jeff
You are invited to join SACL, the Shuswap Community, and Justin Hines in a night of Celebrating the Possibilities. The concert
will be held at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort at 251 Harbourfront Drive NE on Wednesday, September 4th, 7:00 p.m.

CROSSWORD
As if there weren’t enough benefits to flossing, here’s one more: New research has shown a direct link between flossing your teeth and cardiovascular risk. For many years it was unclear whether poor oral health was simply correlated with heart disease risk factors or whether the relationship was more direct. But recent studies have suggested that periodontal bacteria can enter the bloodstream through the gums, possibly damaging blood vessels and leading to clots.

Aquarius, a hectic schedule is compromising your ability to stay focused on the tasks at hand. You may need some help sorting some things out.
SUDOKU
There are enough diversions around to take your mind off of your problems, Pisces. They may not disappear, but you can address some issues later. Aries, no matter how hard you work, you just cannot seem to get ahead this week. Instead of tiring yourself unnecessarily, take a break and regroup. Taurus, although you have many questions, the answers will not come so easily to you in the next few days. Bide your time for a revelation.
GEMINI
It will be really difficult to put you in a bad mood this week, Gemini. Your energy and cheer will be a bright light to those around you, so enjoy the next few days.
CANCER
Cancer, you may want to be friends with everyone, but you may have to accept that you have a few people who just do not meld with your interests. Hang out with those who do.
LEO
Exercise can do more than just keep you physically fit, Leo. It also can help boost your mood when you need a pick-me-up, which could be the case in the near future.
VIRGO
Virgo, each time you think the grass will be greener somewhere else, you quickly learn it is not the case. Learn to appreciate what you have, and you will be glad for having done so.
LIBRA
Libra, generosity will endear you to others, but you have to be generous for the right reasons. It’s not a good idea to build friendships on false pretenses.

SCORPIO
Scorpio, avoid taking on any more projects for the time being. Although you excel in tackling things, even the best of us need a rest from time to time.
SAGITTARIUS
Sagittarius, you will have to buckle down and get some things done at work, even if you are a little under the weather. Take things nice and easy once your work is done.

She was schooled in Mt. Lehman and Abbotsford. Despite her small stature, she played basketball and softball in both high school and in the RCAF women’s leagues. She served in the air force from 1943 – 1946 and worked aircraft maintenance. She reenlisted in 1951 and served a term. In 1961 she married Clarence Varnum and together they ran a motel in Valleyview, Alberta. Lee was also a “postie” in the Valleyview area, as well as later in Westbank, BC. Later in life, she discovered travel and visited many countries with her buddy Shirley. Lee was predeceased by her parents, her husband Clarence, her brother Philip, his wife Helen, and her nephew Eddie. She is survived by her sister Marjorie (Dirk) Isotalo of Mt. Vernon, WA and by cousins and nephews. A special thanks to all the staff at Piccadilly Care Centre who were always kind and gentle with her, even when she was not appreciative. There will be no service by her request. Interment of cremated remains will be in Abbotsford, BC at a later date.

GRINDROD DAYS 2013 was a great success. Thanks to the many people who attended and took part in the activities: from the first pancake breakfast on Saturday to the church service on Sunday and everything in between. The official opening of the new hall was an event that may not happen again for the next 100 years. Thanks to all the many businesses and individuals who made donations for the silent auction, cake walk and flower show. Thanks also to the Shuswap Pioneer Collector’s Club, the musicians, the exhibitors, the judges and to EVERY ONE of the many volunteers.
