S3-2!0!13 YEAR 196

1967 - Courtesy of L. Schaﬀ / Valley Women’s Institute

Executive Director, Jo-Anne Crawford and Fay Enquist make good use of the new facilities in downtown Salmon Arm.

The Shuswap Association for Community Living was created in 1963. To provide services and support for people with intellectual disabilities and their families, the association originally started as a school in the basement of a local church. In 1974, the Valley Women’s Institute sold the building they had owned since 1922 at 4590 – 10th Avenue, NE to the association. This would become their home for almost 30 years and, at this location, operated such programs as a bike shop, a woodworking shop and Environmental Solutions, a paper shredding and recycling business. By 2012, it was obvious that some portions of our programs were in dire need of some drastic changes. Due to economic and other circumstances, one by one our programs succumbed and a new direction was sought. The era of the “sheltered workshop” had come to a close and it was felt that a move into town, to be more inclusive within our community would be a welcome change for all parties, but especially the people we support. Today, our four main areas of focus, deemed important by the people we support and our stakeholders, are Employment, Volunteering, Education & Training and Health & Wellness. Our employment program matches employers and employees, according to job descriptions and skills and provides job coaching and ongoing support to ensure success. In the same way, our volunteers are matched with organizations who are in need of volunteer manpower. Our Education and Training and Health & Wellness training continue to be oﬀered during our day program, which runs Monday – Friday out of our new facilities at Andover Place on Hudson Avenue.

Anniversary Celebration:

Please join us for a celebration of our 50th Anniversary and the grand opening of our new location in downtown Salmon Arm. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at #103 – 371 Hudson Avenue (this will be at the side entrance facing Cantina Vallarta) at noon on Saturday, June 1, 2013. Cake, refreshments and tours of our facilities will follow. We invite all staﬀ, board members, persons supported and their families and caregivers, past and present, to join us for this occasion!

All are welcome to attend the Annual General Meeting of the SACL on June 18, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. at the SAGA Public Art Gallery, 70 Hudson Avenue, NE.

Spreading the joy of quilting

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Every room in the house has a decorative hanging quilt except the kitchen, but even there, quilted centrepieces decorate the room. Alice Phillips has been quilting for a decade. Despite the artistry and the intricate patterns she explains that 10 years isn’t a long time in the world of quilting. “There’s a lot to learn; I still feel a beginner. I used to sew a lot; I made my children’s clothes but when I was diagnosed with MS [Multiple Sclerosis] my life kind of changed. This is a hobby I can do–I can sit there for hours and hours.” Besides the quilting itself, part of the attraction is simply being a member of the Shuswap Quilters Guild. “It’s wonderfully sustaining. We’re there for

each other all the time. It’s like a big family – I love it. It’s mainly older ladies and a few younger ones – it’s kind of a grandma’s group.” The Guild itself isn’t that old as it is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The Guild is putting on a show, “Everybody Loves Quilts,” which it hasn’t done for the past five years. This show, however, will be special, says Alice who is the convener. “It’s going to be a big one at the Shaw spectator arena,” says Alice. There will be approximately 300 entries and the Shuswap Spinners and Weavers and Shuswap Needle Arts Guild will also be there. “We’re going to have two master quilters doing demonstrations on site – Sharon Adair and Joanne Colleaux. They’re two particularly good ones.

friends&neighbours by Leah Blain We’re also having a fabric artist, Kathy Kinsella from Blind Bay showing her work. She uses a special technique: fabric felting.” Diane Jansson, a world-renown quilter from Pritchard, will have some of her items for sale at the Merchant Mall that will be set up at the show. “She is an amazing quilter,” explains Alice, “she teaches all over the world, mainly in North America.” Although there will be items for sale, this show isn’t really about making money. In fact, Alice says a lot of quilters won’t sell their quilts. “I won’t make a quilt for someone (to buy),” says Alice. “Most people don’t know the amount of work that goes into quilts. You never get the amount of money it takes to make. Quilts take about 100 hours, give or take, given the complexity; plus the supplies.” Everybody Loves Quilts is more like an art show, a chance for the local quilters to showcase their work. “It’s quite a satisfying event for quilters. Quilts haven’t been able to get the recognition as works of art, but it is fabric art and they’re a pleasure to look at.” Alice explains that quilters, like artists, take lessons in colours and balance. Anyone with an artistic eye will appreciate this show and will notice the care and attention that goes into the detail. “Fabric is a beautiful medium for art, that’s why people have a passion for it and it’s easy to get addicted. In the olden days it was utilitarian – quilts were made from feed sacks and old coats or whatever. Now we have beautiful fabric to work with.” Everybody loves Quilts show is on Friday, June 7th from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, June 8th from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is $5 and includes a chance at door prizes.

Giving through golfing

Once more, MacKenzie Camp is presenting an opportunity for all the swingers and their supporters to participate in an event that helps send a child to camp. Swingers with golf clubs, that is. June 1 at 3:00 p.m. is tee-off time at the Salmon Arm Golf & Country Club. Golfers both good

and not so good are all welcome. Come and enjoy the fellowship, a delicious three-course dinner and the good feeling of helping a child go to MacKenzie Camp this summer. You may even be the recipient of a prize awarded to a lucky golfer. Prizes include a $10,000 Holein-One insured by Lakeside Insurance, a very attractive bracelet from Enderby Jewellers, two rounds of golf on the Heritage Course from the Salmon Arm Golf & Country Club, a full campership to MacKenzie Camp, a beautiful piece of jewelry from Gem Set Studio, sauna accessories from Boxwood Forest Products’ sauna division. As well, Central Hardware (Enderby), Gilbert’s Auto Parts (Enderby), and Touch ‘A Texas (Salmon Arm) have all confirmed prizes. Salmon Arm Savings & Credit Union and Canadian Tire, both

past donors, are in line again this year. EZ Rock and Kiss FM, strong supporters in the past, are on board again this year. Other local businesses have expressed interest in this endeavour to help more young people experience camp. Camperships in 2012 helped over 80 campers. This year, MacKenzie Camp’s goal is to exceed that number. All that’s needed now is for lots of golfers to commit to this funin-the-sun event. If you don’t golf, you can pledge someone who does and come to enjoy just the dinner. Mackenzie Camp is a semi-wilderness camp located 35 km east of Enderby on the edge of Mabel Lake. With the Alice Large Hall/dormitory plus seven cabins, the camp can accommodate up to 100 campers and staff. For more information contact Tom Cole at 250-832-2762.

Colon cancer

Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in Canada. Inherited forms of colon cancer are rare, accounting for only about 5 percent of these cancers. The good news is that diet and life style adjustments can lower the chance of getting this type of cancer. People who eat red meat frequently are more prone to getting colon cancer than people who eat white meat like chicken and fish. Fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grain lentils and beans are not only better for your health, but are also associated with lowering the risk of getting colon cancer. People in Asian countries eat plenty of these foods and cases of colon cancer are much lower there than here. Studies show that people who are physically active are at lower risk of getting this cancer compared to less active people. On the other hand, obesity (particularly abdominal), is associated with an elevated risk of getting colon cancer. Diabetes plus obesity doubles the risk of colorectal cancer. In one study it was also found that walking for four hours a week regularly was inversely associated with getting this cancer. Drinking five to six glasses of water is also associated with lower risk of colon cancer. We all know avoiding alcohol and smoking helps prevent many cancers including colon cancer. Constipation increases the risk. However, chronic use of laxatives can weaken the bowel and alter balance of chemicals and bacteria. There are various types of colon cleansing products available but it is better to eat right rather to eat poorly and then try to correct it with medication. Frequent use of a colon cleanse product can also weaken the bowels. Vitamin D and folic acid are thought to be more effective than vitamin A, C and E. Countries where people are deficient in Vitamin D have more cases of colon cancer. So when you order a sandwich next time, choose vegetarian or chicken on whole grain bread and order water and milk with it!

Trauma, toxins and thoughts – Part 1

Recently in one of my continuing education courses for pediatric chiropractic, we were reviewing the science and research behind subluxation and nerve interference as it relates to children. I want to summarize what we were reviewing in order to clarify where subluxations originate and how they affect the health of children (and adults). In order to adequately explain the cause and affects of pediatric subluxation I am going to write this article over two weeks. The cause of subluxations comes from the “3T’s” which stands for traumas, toxins, and thoughts. The first of 3 T’s for 21st century children is trauma. This includes, birth trauma (C-section, vacuum, or forceps delivery), falls, and injuries. When you really think of how physical children are, you will appreciate the amount of trauma they experience every day. It is also important to understand that traumas don’t just include ones worthy of a trip to the local emergency room. It is the repetitive small crashes they experience every day that accumulate, which in turn result in subluxation (interference in their developing nervous system). The next “T” represents toxins. Unfortunately, I could write several articles about this topic alone in today’s day and age. The first big toxin kids are exposed to are vaccinations. Regardless of your beliefs on the efficacy of vaccines, the main concern is the amount that is injected into babies and youngsters compared to 30-40 years ago. When I was a child, I believe there were 8 injections. Now, in BC it is recommended children be inoculated 46 different times before 6 years of age. In addition, I have trouble finding children that have not been on at least one round of antibiotics before they reach the age of 1 year old. Aside from medical interventions, there are so many common household items that expose children to toxic chemicals. These include

soaps, lotions, cleaning products, antibacterial wipes, laundry detergents and Purell (hand sanitzer) to name a few. Finally, the other huge source of toxins is unfortunately, nutrition. All too commonly children are subluxated from the birth process leading to difficulty nursing, and subsequently they are forced into a diet of formula rather than mother’s breast milk. The third “T” is thoughts. Emotional stress is not usually something we equate with babies and children, but it is present. Emotional trauma occurs in the event of emergency c-sections, time spent in hospital following birth complications, and/ or if medical testing on the infant is required. When babies are taken from their mother and poked and prodded in a bright, sterile environment, a major fight/flight reaction is imprinted into the baby’s nervous system. Further to this, if parents are emotionally stressed, babies are affected. Research on the nervous system shows that when nerves “fire together, they wire together,” so when babies are exposed to emotional stress their nervous system development is affected. Reading the examples above, unfortunately many babies are exposed to the “perfect storm” of stress on their developing systems within days of starting life. With this much stress, it is not hard to understand why children become subluxated and need to be checked by a pediatric chiropractor. Our goal is to remove subluxation (nervous system interference caused by the “3T’s”) and allow your infant to fully & correctly process their environment. In next week’s article I am going to explain how these stresses impact their health and wellness. The chiropractors at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic have a special interest in chiropractic care for kids and can be reached at (250) 8030224. Results vary from person to person.

Connecting kids to the outdoors

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Since Richard Louv’s 2005 publication of ‘Last Child in the Woods,’ a movement connecting children to nature has gained momentum across the globe. The new-nature movement has drawn from the abundant research that has shown that spending time outdoors is good for human health and well-being. Studies have shown that people that spend time in nature have lower rates of depression, ADHD, and cardiovascular disease, among many other diseases. Also, children that spend time in nature are shown to have more creativity, improved interpersonal skills, and in some cases, improved attention and consequently academic performance. Another great benefit, backed by research, is that people are more likely to protect natural spaces that they know and love. In response to this movement, a team of local community members, led by Geoff

Styles, Ceren Caner and Jeremy Ayotte, have recently founded The Shuswap Outdoor Learning Foundation. The key objective of this organization is to connect children to the beautiful natural spaces the Shuswap has to offer, while providing fun

educational experiences that enhance their knowledge of the outdoors. This summer, the organization is offering 3- and 4-day outdoor learning day camps, called Shuswap Wild Wonders. Activities include hiking, environmental education, fine arts, team-building and

Mental health raffle

leadership activities. Certified teachers and talented professionals team up to showcase some of the most beautiful trails in the Shuswap. Locations vary but are centered around Salmon Arm and the surrounding area. Three camps are offered for different age groupings: July 15–17 (Mon-Wed): three-day camp for grades 1/2; July 9–12 (Tues-Fri): four-day camp with one overnight for grades 3/4; and July 22–24 (MonWed): three-day camp for grades 5/6. Find more information and to register, visit: http://shuswapwildwonders.wix.com/camps In addition to offering summer day camps, the Shuswap Outdoor Learning Foundation aims to be a hub for outdoor learning in the community, helping to make the existing outdoor learning resources readily available to individuals, families and other organizations.

Water quality advisory for Mabel Lake

The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO), in conjunction with Interior Health Authority, has issued a Water Quality Advisory for customers supplied by the Mabel Lake Water Utility. All customers on the Mabel Lake Water Utility are being informed that due to increased turbidity in Mabel Lake from spring runoff or “freshet,” the turbidity levels have exceeded 1.0 NTU in the Mabel Lake Water system. Due to this increase in turbidity (cloudiness) the water quality is now rated as FAIR. This Water Quality Advisory will be in affect until further notice.

What does a FAIR rating mean? A fair warning means that some customers should be careful when ingesting the water, namely children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. For these customers, water intended for the following uses should be boiled for one minute: drinking, washing, fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice, and brushing teeth. If you have any questions, please contact RDNO at 250-550-3700 or visit www.rdno.ca for notifications under water quality alerts.

On Tuesday, May 28th, the Shuswap Pro-life Society (SPLS) is hosting a public event featuring speaker Mike Schouten, of an organization called “We Need a Law.” Mr. Schouten is one of Canada’s most prominent pro-life leaders. His articles have been featured in numerous local and national publications. His most recent article, “Give us the facts on abortion,” was published in the National Post on May 2nd, and decried the folly of Canada’s ban on providing any access to abortion statistics. ‘We Need a Law’ continues to work for the enactment of legislation providing at least some restriction on abortion. In their February 2013 report, Canadians’ Attitudes Towards Abortion, Environics Research determined that sixty percent of Canadians believe human life should receive legal protection at some point before birth. Independent statistics also show that most Canadians believe that abortion should not be permitted purely to select the gender of one’s offspring (usually in preference of males). Yet Canada is one of only three western countries with no restrictions whatsoever on abortion at any stage of pregnancy. The other two countries with whom Canada shares this dubious distinction are North Korea and China, both known for human rights abuses. These facts and independently researched statistics demonstrate majority support for a primary goal of his organization. In addition, given the increased incidence of gender selection abortion in Canada, and recent disturbing information from Statistics Canada about late term and failed abortions, Mr. Schouten’s visit to this area is certainly timely and important. Shuswap Pro-life expects the free event to be both informative and inspiring and invites the public to attend; it starts at 7:00 p.m. at Five Corners Pentecostal Church in Salmon Arm. A reception with refreshments will follow. Earlier in the day, Mr. Schouten will meet with pastors and ministers from local churches at a luncheon, also hosted by the SPLS. More information about Mr. Schouten’s visit, or about the SPLS can be obtained by contacting Society President, Hildegard Krieg, at 250-8328352.

TIME TO CHANGE TO WHITE BAGS AND SHOES

SHUSWAP ADVENTIST SCHOOL OBSERVES VOTING

On May 14, the date of the provincial election, students from grades 5 to 9 at Shuswap Adventist School in Salmon Arm, located above Canoe on 60th Ave NE, came to Canoe’s North Hall to learn firsthand about voting. They were accompanied by principal Shellie Shipowick, left, and teachers Susan Christison and Kim Harrington. Shellie had been teaching the students about government, why it is important to vote, and that is a privilege we have in this country. At a time when not many young people vote in elections, she hopes her students will vote when they come of age. Inside the hall, where taking pictures was forbidden, Elections BC staff explained the process of getting on the voter’s list, that one needs to be 18 to vote, showed the yellow card each eligible voter receives in the mail stating where to vote, showed the ballot that listed the name and political party of each candidate who ran in the Shuswap riding, the proper way to mark the ballot for the candidate of the voter’s choice, and that the winner will go to Victoria to be part of B.C.’s next government.

MEMORIES FROM THE NORTH CANOE HALL

I could almost hear a band playing and see people dancing during the four hours I was a scrutineer in the North Canoe Hall at the provincial election on May 14. Land for the hall was donated by John Lund, 1864-1934, according to his framed picture that hangs on the wall. The Canoe Community Hall was probably built in the 40s because only its picture appears in “The Saga of Canoe 1888-1938” printed by the Salmon Arm Observer in 1980. During the early days, children were brought to events because there was no such thing as babysitters. They played, and when they were tired they fell asleep on blankets along

the edges of the hall while their parents continued partying. I seem to remember the hall was known as the Lions Hall. Canoe is part of Salmon Arm now, and the hall is owned by the city. Its website says the North Canoe Hall is a non-profit organization used for community programs and activities. For many years, Salmon Arm council and staff held their Christmas party in the hall, with Canoe women providing a delicious buffet. A retired city employee who came to vote on the 14th remembered the great parties. He said every department had to put on a skit at the Christmas party. Now the people who used the hall in their younger days are on pension and make the Canoe Seniors’ Hall the hub of their activities. And when they came to vote at the provincial election, some looked past the Elections BC staff at a certain table and said “Hello, Sally.”

When I was a teenager in Watson, Sask., Victoria Day was when women stopped wearing black and switched to white handbags and shoes. It was an unwritten rule. It was also when my mother began planting the garden because the danger of frost was over. Queen Victoria’s birthday was May 25, and that’s when we in Canada observed a federal statutory holiday. Now her birthday is celebrated on the last Monday before May 25 in order that we can enjoy a long weekend.

VERNON’S MULTIPLEX WILL GET A NAME CHANGE JUST AS SALMON ARM’S TWIN SHEET ARENA DID

On June 1, Wesbild Centre Multi-Use Facility will have its name changed to Kal Tire Place. Sponsorship rights for the facility will cost $145,000 for the four-year deal. Wesbild Holdings’s sponsorship was not renewed because its principals didn’t believe they were getting their money’s worth. It owns Predator Ridge Resort outside Vernon. Salmon Arm’s arena changed from Sunwave Centre to Shaw Centre when Shaw bought Sun Country Cable. Saskatoon has a Shaw Centre too, with swimming pools.

WALMART SEARCHES FOR SALMON ARM MANAGER

This is SUCH good news! We haven’t had the official announcement of Walmart coming to Salmon Arm, but someone in Whitby, Ontario, put this on Facebook on Tuesday: “Just thought I’d let everyone know that Walmart has posted the new Salmon Arm store for the store manager. Should be sometime this fall or early winter when the store opens.” 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.

Roxanne Sajuk and Gunter Angermann went on a round trip cruise in March from Tampa, Florida, into the Western Carribean. One of the port calls was Santo Tomas, Guatemala. Other stops included Honduras and Mexico. Roxanne and Gunter enjoyed the exotic plants and animals, as well as the remnants of Mayan culture.

Sorry folks… the kids and the cat haven’t done anything outrageous this week so I have to write about boring financial stuff. This time I am going to review the new BC Training Education & Savings Grant (BCTESG). The BCTESG is the grant Christy Clarke announced this spring that would give children in BC a one-time $1,200 education grant if they have a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). There are three main criteria to qualify for the grant. The child must have an RESP set up before they turn seven years old; the child must be a resident of BC; and finally, the child must be born on or after January 1, 2007. So if you are like me and your children were born in 2006 and earlier then you are out of luck! The grant is only available when the child is six years of age so that is why it is so important to establish an RESP before the child turns seven. Once they turn seven it is too late. How do you apply? If you have an RESP already set up, then you will be automatically notified by the Province of BC when the child turns six years old. If the child is already six when the RESP is created then the grant can be applied for when the plan is opened.

Unlike the Canada Education Savings Grant that the federal government provides, the BCTESG is not contingent on you making any contributions yourself. So all you have to do is set up an RESP and when the child turns six you will receive $1,200 of “free” money from the government! Did I say free? I meant a return of some of your hard-working tax dollars. Unfortunately, these announcements often have a few small hiccups. In the case of the BCTESG, the big thing to be aware of is that it will take a while for it to be fully implemented. As a result, children born in 2007 and 2008 will be delayed in receiving the grant for up to two years while the provincial and federal governments work out how this is all going to work. If you have a child turning six in 2013 or 2014, you will not be contacted to apply for the grant until this process has been finalized. However, don’t let that delay you from setting up an RESP because as previously mentioned, you need to have an RESP setup prior to the child turning seven years old to qualify. For more details on how the grant works, simply go to the BC government website and search for the BC Training & Education Savings Grant.

Gorge Creek Trail and nearby waterfalls

For an excellent forest walk shaded by many old growth trees, drive to Craigellachie on the Trans Canada Highway, 25 kilometres east of Sicamous. Across the highway from the Last Spike rest area, where you can park, is the Gorge Creek Trail. This 2 kilometre loop trail winds and climbs along one side of the creek and back down the other, with two bridges to traverse on the route. It can be walked in about 45 minutes but with much to see and enjoy along the way, it’s better to allow more time. Starting from behind the restrooms at the rest stop is a paved trail going up a hill to the highway. After you carefully cross the Trans Canada, you follow the trail as it heads in to the forest towards the creek, soon leaving highway traffic sounds

behind. When you see a wooden bridge crossing the creek, you can either keep on the right side of the creek or go down to this lower bridge, cross it and climb the trail on the left side of Gorge Creek. Along the way you will encounter several waterfalls and rapids. To take advantage of maximum creek and waterfall volume, mid to late Spring is the best time to walk the trail. The largest falls are named Hemlock, Fir and Cedar. Various diversion trails and viewpoints give different perspectives on the

Your

tumbling falls and gushing water. Beautiful ferns, bushes, berries and other plants and trees provide a verdant setting. It’s a great place to visit on a warm or hot day, as the temperature is decidedly cooler beneath the shady canopy of vegetation. I’ve hiked the trail several times over the past 25 years and never tire of its beauty. It’s not a difficult trail for walkers of average fitness and there are conveniently placed benches at strategic intervals offering pretty views. The upper bridge is reportedly getting old and the normal caution is suggested as you cross it. The viewpoint just near this bridge is worth a stop, as you can look down a waterfall as it plunges far below you. A little further east of Craigellachie are some other waterfalls

localities by Wendy Clay

you can visit on the same day. Crazy Creek Waterfalls and Suspension Bridge are worth a visit (admission charged), which I have written about in a previous column. Also, about 36 and a half kilometres east of Sicamous, Kay Falls is only a 10 minute walk. Park on the eastbound lane side of the highway immediately past the bridge. You can see the falls from the highway and there is a rough trail that leads to its base. Whether you have never hiked Gorge Creek or you are very familiar with it, plan a trip there this spring or summer. Like Margaret Falls at Herald Park, it is a classic Shuswap walk!

‘Flippin’ Fiddler’ performs locally

Fasten your seat belts folks, as Multiple Canadian Fiddle Champion Scott Woods and his band will soon be in Salmon Arm with an incredible old time show called Swingin’ Fiddles. The stop is one along an extensive cross Canada tour taking place throughout 2013. To say that The Scott Woods Show is ‘just a fiddle concert’ would be an injustice. Woods, a two-time Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Champion and two-time Canadian Open Fiddle Champion does more than just play fiddle tunes. He likens his show that of Don Messer’s Jubilee, which ran on CBC from 1957 to 1969. “Basically what Don Messer did and what we do is an old time variety show,” explains Woods, “similar to

what they used to do on the radio or on television in the early days. They’d have singing and then an instrumental and then some dancing and some comedy.” Woods was the musical director and played the part of Don Messer for seven years with “Memories of Don Messer’s Jubilee’ that toured extensively throughout Canada. Swingin’ Fiddles is a live, two hour uplifting show that brings alive the music of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. The show features not one, not two but three fiddlers playing together in sweet harmony. Western swing, big band, pop standards, country, gospel and plenty of old time fiddling pack the program. There is also sensational step dancing, home spun family humour and Scott’s

trick fiddling that along with ‘The Flippin’ Fiddler’ nickname, earned him the Canadian Novelty Fiddle Championship title. Woods loves his main audience; families and seniors. “We meet some truly wonderful people,” he says. “They’re very appreciative and love what we’re doing and that makes us feel good. You don’t have to be a fiddle fan to enjoy the show. It’s good, clean fun that you can be proud to take your grandkids or grandparents to.” Woods and his band perform up to 150 concerts every year, most of which are fundraisers supporting churches, charities and other community service groups. “My dad always taught us to give back whenever we could,” Scott recalls. “We hope to continue doing this for many years to come.” Swingin’ Fiddles will be presented at the Seniors 5th Avenue Activity Centre, 170 5th Ave SE in Salmon Arm on Thursday June 6th at 7pm. Tickets are only $20 for adults, $10 for kids 12 and under and kids 5 and under get in free. Advance tickets are recommended and are on sale now at Acorn Music, 118 Lakeshore Dr NE or by calling toll free 1-855-726-8896 to charge. A complete tour schedule is available at www.scottwoods.ca.

Letters to the Editor Fire-damaged business not supported

Students from the residential carpentry program at Okanagan College have been busy building a house at the corner of Auto Rd and 12 St. SE. The hands-on experience the students gain by building an actual house is invaluable. The plumbing and electricity is done by trades students as well. Howard Vangool photo.

You have to be patted on the back for standing behind a local business owners facing devastating circumstances – not! I have sat back and watched the City, Chamber of Commerce, citizens of Enderby, and visitors collectively attack a businessowner and property owners that have their hands completely tied in being able to satisfy the demands put on them. The article in the Wed. May 8th Morning Star says it all. The city is now demanding the building be removed or else they, as heroes of the cause, will remove it for them. How understanding! All of us in this city have failed to support the owners in a drive to force the insurance company who have sidestepped the insurance claim since Jan. 28, 2011! How many of us have walked into the office of the insurers, and demanded they settle the insurance claim and get this building restored? As business owners, think about this – what if that fire had been in your building? Would you like everyone to turn on you? The owners have not had access to the building since soon after the fire when the insurance adjuster changed the locks. I was in the building before the locks were changed. There was no indication that building that was ‘gutted by fire,’ as stated by our mayor. The fire chief’s report stated ‘damage to the upper corner.’ The only damage to the store area are some ceiling tiles on the floor from the water from the fire hoses, water stains, and a slight smoke smell. As far as I know, nothing has been removed since the fire. Clothing is still on the shelves and on the racks, the till is in place and the clothes steamer is ready for action. There are some very interesting statements on the

city’s public website. It makes one wonder who wrote letters and why. Vermin? I walk past that building front and back almost daily and have yet to see a ‘vermin’ exit or enter. The doors are tight-fitting, the windows boarded and there are enough feral cats wondering around at night to keep the vermin in check. Eyesore? Of course it is but the owners cannot change that. I had the windows painted to help a little but the city removed the pink awning that hid a lot of the ugliness in case it “fell on someone swinging on it.” Yes, the city sent letters to the owners asking them to rectify these things. Some letters were never received as one owner had to relocate to take a job to try to keep up with the taxes, bills, etc. Another interesting statement from the lengthy file on the city website, is that there were no building permit records on file at NORD. Duh! Ask the Gerlibs if their Mom lived upstairs and operated Gerlib’s Clothing before or after the formation of NORD; the building was not new then. As for reno permits, did Ken and Joyace Case not pull permits? Are these issues brought up by the city to justify their decision to remove this historic building? If this building is removed by the city, the city is rewarding the insurance company for dragging their feet and not settling. What claim can the owners have if the building and contents are no longer there? Is an empty lot better? Lose one of your front teeth and see how ugly that is?!

Letters to the Editor

True message gets lost in hair-splitting

I feel strongly compelled to reply to the letter that Mr. Ligertwood sent in to the May 3rd issue of Lakeshore News. I am a nineteen-year-old student, a Christian, and a creationist. When I read what Mr. Ligertwood had to say I was both aggrieved and frustrated; partly because I agreed with much of what he had to say! How can I agree with him, and still believe that God created everything? Because of two simple yet shocking facts. Fact one: the Bible does not say how old the earth is! This is a calculation based on some people’s interpretation of what the Bible has to say about the creation of the world. What about the world being created in seven days? Well let’s see what the Bible says about time. 2Peter 3:8 says, “Now, dear friends do not let this one thing escape your notice. That a single day is like a thousand years with the Lord and a thousand years are like a single day.” So God is outside of man’s time! How fascinating! So the first seven days could actually be seven thousand years! Or billons of years! Fact two: the Bible does not say exactly how God made the universe and everything in it. According to the Bible, “God said, ‘let there be light,’ and there was light.” Genesis 1:3. Now that sounds like a pretty explosive event! And I imagine that there was a spectacular acoustic accompaniment to the celestial light show. Science cannot disprove God; He created it, and it is frustrating in the extreme when Christians forget that and try to squish God into a box that they can understand, and then present it as the foundation of Christianity. However, I do agree that the school system does teach evolution as an absolute and indisputable fact. When in fact, it is only a theory; some scientists think only a hypothesis, yet it is taught as scientific law. How unsci-

entific, and in science class too! Just think about it, small children being terrified into thinking that there is no life after death–now that is truly scary. In the early 1900’s Charles Walcott (a paleontologist) discovered a layer of Cambrian rock called the “Burgess Shale.” Now according to the theory of evolution, that far down the geological column, only the simplest multi-cellular life forms are supposed to exist. Instead Walcott found thousands of fossils of very complex life forms. In fact, he found life forms representative from every major animal phylum! But instead of publishing this incredible find, Walcott hid the fossils in his lab. It took another eighty years for them to be “rediscovered.” So, there is evidence that does not support evolution. This was not in my BC science textbook! Why? Surely learning about science should include learning about scientific theories, other than evolution? And when we do learn about evolution, shouldn’t we learn about all the evidence both for and against? If there is one thing that I cannot stress enough, it is that the age of the earth is not the foundation of Christianity; in fact, it is not even important in the context of the real meaning of Christianity. What the Bible is clear on is that God made everything including us, and saved us from ourselves through Jesus Christ, and he has given us the curiosity and the privilege of trying to figure out how he did it. It is unfortunate that arguing about interpretation of the mechanics of creation can at times eclipse the true teachings of Christianity, such as love the Lord your God with all your heart, and love your neighbour as yourself. Evan McCallum, Salmon Arm

Former nun tells her story

Sixty years ago, Grace Lux Dunford entered the convent in Bruno, Saskatchewan on her eighteenth birthday. Born to a strong Roman Catholic family, she was the twelfth child of her pioneering parents. Believing her destiny was to become a nun, she wholeheartedly embraced the life of a nun, earning two degrees in voice and one in piano. Eleven years later, Grace, now known simply as Sister Michael, found herself quietly leaving the convent and all that was familiar to her in the middle of the night, having become disillusioned. It was 1964 and the world now embracing peace and love was completely foreign to her. She began a journey with her music that led her to the stage, then to teaching and taking on the lifestyle of

a hippie. With plans to live on a deserted island with her common-law husband, those dreams were dashed when their journey was cut short with a shipwreck. Through all of this she found the relationship with God that she had yearned for in the convent. Eight years ago she was encouraged to begin writing her incredible story down and now her book, Shattered Dreams of a Runaway Nun, co-authored with Gerty Shipmaker, has finally seen print and has been published. Now 77 and living in Enderby, Grace is happy to be launching her book on Saturday, May 25th at the Enderby Evangelical Chapel from 1-4 p.m. in the Fireside Room, where she will have her books available for purchase.

Evolution based on scientific method, not faith

154 years since Charles Darwin’s revolutionary, worldview-changing “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection” (1859) clearly haven’t been enough to enlighten some members of society about how the world ‘really works;’ and how evolutionary science has, over those years, helped us to understand those ‘workings.’ Over a century and a half(!) of evolution’s overwhelming acceptance and scientific confirmation. We have evidence-based confidence, not faith, that Evolution has provided a true understanding of the living world. The recent anti-evolution letters (Lakeshore News, May 10, 2013) certainly attest to the outdated persistence of strictly faithbased, unsupported beliefs. Selected points for interested readers to ponder include: 1. The irrational notion of a ‘young’ Earth, 4,000–10,000 years, is frequently advanced as crucial to anti-evolution beliefs. However, principles of chemistry and physics relating to the radioactive decay of isotopes, notably carbon-14 and potassium-40, reliably assign a much older 4.6 billion year age for the Earth. Molecular genetics also provides means for aging organisms and their evolution from studies of mutations and ‘pseudogenes.’ Consequently, the ‘young Earth’ notion cannot be sustained. It represents only the ‘special pleading’ for a ‘young Earth’ that better fits creationist beliefs. Obviously, the existence of fossils hardly supports a young Earth either. 2. ‘Intelligent Design’ is often invoked to explain animal structure. Yet the Giant Panda has 6 digits, rather than 5 – the better for grasping bamboo shoots – and this 6th digit, the Panda’s ‘thumb,’ has clearly been derived, over time, from the radial sesamoid wrist-bone, so that it’s not really a ‘digit’ at all. Why wasn’t a 6th digit ‘designed properly’ right from the beginning, instead of it being derived (evolving) slowly from a (relatively) clumsy wrist-bone? 3. The Ichneumon wasp lays its eggs in the bodies of living caterpillars. Care is taken not to injure the caterpillar’s vital structures (vital organs like the heart) during egg-laying, since the wasp larvae, when hatched, develop inside the living caterpillar,

eating its living tissues (least vital structures first), until the caterpillar is completely consumed. Isn’t evolution more likely, rather than a dubious expression of God’s love? 4. If the Bible is literal truth, then consider Leviticus, Chap.11, verses 13-19, wherein those birds that are ‘God’s abominations’ are identified. For those of us who love and value nature and its ecological processes, how disappointing to learn that eagles, ravens, owls, cormorants, swans, pelicans, herons, and bats–not birds at all–are ‘abominations’ ! A curious way to morally relate to nature and our interconnectedness with its wonders – abominations!? 5. One anti-evolution letter cited ‘intolerance’ as a hallmark of those accepting evolution and its principles. Unfortunately, this term is more characteristic of Christian intolerance that has been historically expressed in violent events like the Crusades; Cortes and the Aztecs; the Spanish Inquisition; Church persecution of Galileo and many scientists; the Salem Witch trials; intrusive missionary activity; persistent resistance to women’s rights and gender equality; and Church intolerance for homosexuality. The charge of intolerance is more appropriate to Christian believers, not evolutionists. Scientific inquiry is rigorous, repeated observations and measurement of some natural, unexplained phenomenon; replicated experiments and data-collection; proposal(s) of possible explanations (hypotheses) to account for observations; continuous experimental and observational challenges (testing) of these hypotheses; and comparing results with other researchers in the area of inquiry until a well-supported explanation emerges. Faith, and belief-based “inquiry” cannot meet these strict, rational criteria for eliminating the preferences of the inquirer and successfully explaining phenomena that occur now, or have occurred in the past – such as evolution and its well-established processes.

The value of our outdoors

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Camped out at the unmaintained provincial campsite halfway down Pinaus Lake this past long week-end, we witnessed groups of ATV riders rolling through the area; three groups in all, out enjoying the outdoor sport they love. Polite and unassuming, they slowly rolled past. The roads were busy, even to Little Pinaus, as SUV’s and 4x4s were out driving about. Woods Lake, up the logging road from Pinaus, was jam-packed with campers and anglers. Above Pinaus, the pretty Square Lake had many fly-fishing anglers (I counted 14). All this goes on with old faded metal and plywood signs posting rules and regulations at each lake. Pit toilets at our campground were worn out, dirty, and faded. Campers helped other campers, by leaving rolls of toilet paper for each other, while others gathered dry limbs scattered about, for that ever-enjoyable camp fire and late evening wiener roast. This is just the Interior/Shuswap. Multiply this by dozens of lakes and many more campgrounds, in the Kamloops and Merritt forest district, with anglers, quadders, and dirt bikers invading from the coastal areas for long weekends, and you have tremendous pressure on the environment. Rolled in the mix, there is also a lack of environmental enforcement; such as angler checks, illegal dumping, and firearms & liquor infractions. Now, politicians are finally saying enough is enough. In a recent article in the Vernon Morning Star, Regional Directors are demanding that the Province hire more conservation officers to head out in the field to enforce water/game/fishing/pollution acts. At a recent Wildlife meeting in Kamloops attended by our fish and game club members, a CO discussed a situation where other CO’s have moved to fill vacancies while budgets are cut, and mandates widened. It’s truly a sad time for the dedicated, highly-trained officers, many whom have worked with or alongside us fishery officers. Some district CO offices don’t even have enough fuel for their vehicles. This has gone on for years. Meanwhile, there are growing populations wanting recreation, fishing, hunting, quadding, hiking, and biking in our outdoors, with compliance with outdoor etiquette and ethics dropping. When CO’s do angler and hunter checks, they discover compliance is down around 8%. Few patrols. Little appearance. Piled up paperwork/reports, etc. According to the Star’s report, Vernon’s CO office, for 2012/13, dealt with 1,670 problem wildlife, 561 enforcement cases, (illegal hunting), 119 other charges, and 196 warnings. It has gotten so bad, that the East Kootenay Regional District pays for one CO’s wages. The Nicola Valley (Merritt) Rod and Gun Club once put collection boxes in retail stores to gather funds so CO’s could use their trucks on patrols. Now, because of low staffing levels one CO has been taken to Kamloops, and Merritt is losing a CO to another posting. It has got to the point of ludicrous, and it’s about time the Liberals realize how valuable the economic drivers of recreation, fishing, hunting, and camping are to the government coffers. (Less than 20% of monies from hunting and fishing go back into enforcement/enhancement). It cost $208 million to stock 1000 lakes in the province. Anglers hunters spend about the same amount to enjoy their sport. Many past ministers of recreation have said that health and education took priority in BC at budget time. Their portfolio got a marginal budget, as did Parks, and it’s really starting to show, with many user campsites neglected. The health and wellbeing of our lakes, rivers, and streams need more staffing and attention. Education should follow, in the form of our youth spending time camping, learning about wildlife and environmental issues. It’s up to us to tell our newly-elected officials to get with the program. Let your voice be heard (by email) to Premier Christy Clark, VernonMonashee MLA Eric Foster, and/or Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. Hopefully this will make them realize how much we love our outdoors!

It’s a springtime tradition. A trip to Armstrong for asparagus, or pick it up in the local markets. Most of us love that earthy, wonderful taste. We traditionally boil it, then add salt/butter to taste. Here is a recipe you just may want to try: 2 bunches asparagus, 125 g butter, 4 garlic cloves, (crushed), 40 g parmesan cheese, grated. Salt/pepper. Bring asparagus to boil for 2 minutes in pot, till tender crisp. Remove to ice water, then drain. Melt butter in large frying pan over medium heat, add garlic, cooking till fragrant. Season with salt/pepper, then add asparagus, turning gently in butter till hot. Divide among 4 plates,

By Faith Juell The Salmon Arm Horseshoe Club has travelled around to several tournaments in the area recently. On Saturday, May 4th, six members traveled to the Penticton Annual mix tournament. Both Matt Honkanen and Faith Juell placed second in their respective classes. On the May 18 long weekend, half the club members played in Winfield Memorial Open Tournament, and dominated many classes during a full day of competition. In Ladies’ classes, Amy Kidd placed 2nd in her group; Faith Juell placed 1st in B group. The club’s newest player, Marlene Marshall, also placed in the winners’ circle again.

In the large B class of elder men, Salmon Arm members completely dominated with Clarence Juell 1st, Ted Peters 2nd, and Edwin Krieg in 3rd. Matt Honkanen placed 1st in Elders A group.

AQUARIUS

Do not follow the examples of others when they act irrationally to a certain situation, Aquarius. Although it can be difficult, you need to take the high road.

PISCES

Take a chance and express all of your goals and hopes this week, Pisces. Others may be surprised at what you have to say.

ARIES

Aries, you don’t always have the answers when it comes to your romantic relationship, but that’s alright. There are no rule books for this type of thing; you learn as you go.

TAURUS

Taurus, your life has been relatively tranquil. However, you have been itching to do something fun and adventurous to turn things around. This could be the week for that.

GEMINI

You may find that one of your coworkers is more critical of your work than usual, Gemini. Don’t take it the wrong way, as constructive criticism can be a good thing.

CANCER

Cancer, things have calmed down considerably in your life. This week presents a good opportunity to take a trip that is geared entirely around your interests.

LEO

Leo, remain modest about your personal and professional accomplishments this week. Now is not the time to show off. Be humble in your conversations.

VIRGO

Virgo, as inviting as a situation may look, appearances can be deceiving. You may want to dip your toe into the water before you dive right into something.

LIBRA

Libra, this week you need to be extra cautious if you are in the middle of any business dealings. All it can take is the slightest misstep to turn everything around.

Scorpio, things beyond your control may be contributing to sour feelings this week. Look at the bright side of any situation and you can probably find a solution that works.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius, you are seldom soft spoken, but this week you may have to be even more assertive to get your point across. Otherwise your opinions might fall on deaf ears.

Obituaries

Lorne was a pioneer of the Shuswap, survived by his wife Flo and sons, Terry and Barry.

Andrew (Andy) Jackson Morrison May 17, 1926 – May 21, 2013.

It is with great sadness that the family announce the passing of Andrew (Andy) Jackson Morrison in Salmon Arm on May 21st at the Piccadilly Care Centre. Andy lived a long and full life. He was comforted by his wife Marie Kelford, his loving family, and the staff at Piccadilly where he peacefully passed away. The second youngest of nine children, Andy was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and grew up in Holstein, Ontario. As a young man, Andy served with both the Canadian Air Force and American Navy. He eventually pursued a business career and rapidly climbed the corporate ladder to become a highly respected Store Manager in many Zellers department stores across Canada. Andy met his first love, Donna Birkett in Brantford, Ontario and together they had four children – Mark, Larry, Kathy and Jeff. Andy and Donna lived in many cities throughout Canada as they raised their family - Fort William, Halifax, Moncton, Port Arthur, Edmonton and Vancouver, before Andy purchased a retail business of his own, Beers Department Store, in Salmon Arm in 1963. Andy’s business prospered and he became a well-respected businessman and community member. He was an avid golfer, curler, outdoorsman, gardener, traveler, devoted father and member of numerous community associations. Andy lost Donna to cancer in1993 but was fortunate to find his second love in Marie Kelford. He and Marie have enjoyed many years of travel, recreation and companionship. They spent a great deal of time with their extended family which includes many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Andy was predeceased by his father Alex, his mother Mary, and his four brothers and four sisters. Andy is survived by his wife Marie, his children Mark (Janet) of Eagle Bay, Larry (Pam) of Campbell River, Kathy Reed (Bill) of Salmon Arm and Jeff (Paulette) of Salmon Arm; Marie’s daughters Cynda (Ray) of Vancouver and Rhonda of Chilliwack; grandchildren Jill, Amy, Krista, Erin, Tracy, Courtney, Stephanie, Cera, Kelsey, Brianne and Brennan; six greatgrandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family members. Marie and the family would like to extend their deepest thanks to Dr. Kevin Goldberg and the staff at Piccadilly Care Centre for their support and dedication to Andy over the past three and one half years. In lieu of flowers donations to the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated. A celebration of Andy’s life will be held at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort in Salmon Arm on Monday, May 27th at 1:00 pm with Jack Bower officiating. Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm. On-line email condolences may be sent to Andy’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralhome.com.
