Capricorn, write things down this week before you say them to be sure you have everything correct. This will help you when you need to make an important announcement.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, you may feel like escaping to a fantasy world, but that does not mean the pressing matters will simply disappear. A vacation may recharge your batteries.

PISCES

You are in much better shape than you think you are, Pisces. So don’t be too hard on yourself this week. It is alright to put your feet up.

ARIES

Aries, some conflicting signals from a friend this week might seem like trouble is ahead. But it’s more likely that your perception of the situation is a little off.

TAURUS

Taurus, your imagination has a life of its own this week. You may be thinking of living on the edge a little bit in the next few days but don’t overdo it.

GEMINI

Gemini, avoid a deep discussion about your feelings with someone at work this week. Now is not the time or the place to share anything personal, so keep it professional.

CANCER

Cancer, don’t get sidetracked this week because coworkers are expecting your full attention and effort at the office. You may need to juggle a few responsibilities for the time being.

LEO

Leo, make sure you comments are not misinterpreted this week. Someone might take something the wrong way, so choose your words carefully.

VIRGO

Virgo, you may be feeling great physically, but there is a nagging problem that you simply cannot identify. Give it time and it will come to the surface.

LIBRA

Libra, you know what you want and do not need anyone’s approval, but you can’t help checking in with a family member this week to get a second opinion.

health of Gardom Lake because it is a small, shallow, spring-fed lake with a very slow water replacement rate, making it sensitive to disturbances of the foreshore and water. Recently, there have been additional pressures on the Lake from the increasing

usage by boaters, anglers and swimmers with the resulting vehicle and boat traffic, as well as parking problems. Some of the issues and concerns discussed were criteria for stocking fish in the lake, status of updated water quality data, status of the gas motor restriction, aeration of the lake, progress report on Musgrave Road boat launch, parking problems at the park around ice fishing, community communication, signage, Teal Road problems, old septic systems around the lake, wildlife and waterfowl, garbage, foreshore destruction, and user impacts. Friends of Gardom Lake is a group of people who are property owners, residents and frequent visitors who believe that the lake and its surrounding foreshore and watershed form a unique environment for the lives and interactions of plants, trees, fish, wildlife and people. For information or if interested in the health and future of Gardom Lake, contact Val Janzen at 250-832-6929; Liz Winter at 250-832-6362; or email friendsofgardomlake@gmail.com.

Cold sore herbal remedies

There are many over-the-counter (OTC) medications that help with the symptoms of cold sores such as pain, itching and burning. Some of these OTC medications containing Docosanol compound are capable of having an inhibitory effect on the herpes virus. Therefore, it is thought they help to limit both the duration and severity of cold sores. Some of the other OTC medications having active ingredients like tetracaine, benzocaine, lidocaine, benzyl alcohol, camphor, and phenol help by numbing and lessening the above symptoms of cold sores. There are some herbs, though not yet proven, that have been found helpful, for example, pure aloe juice/gel. When used with the first sign of a cold sore, it helps to sooth the affected area and speed up healing. A few drops of grapefruit seed extract may be added to the aloe juice. This mixture can then be applied to the affected area. Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) reduces the symptoms of cold sores and speeds the healing process. Goldenseal root powder can also be made into a paste and applied. This helps in the healing and drying of the lesion. Garlic can be taken orally during an active flare-up for about a week, which helps to boost immunity. Placing a wet, black tea bag on the open sores for five to ten minutes several times a day can help as well. Also, applying cream or tablets containing L-lysine have helped some people in the prevention of cold sores, as well as in healing. Nutritional supplements containing folic acid, vitamin C and bioflavinoids are also helpful. Foods containing amino acid L-arginine can promote the growth of the virus. Foods containing L-arginine include whole wheat, chocolates, oats, corn, raisins, nuts and seeds. Yogurt with active culture, or capsules of Lactobacillus acidophilus, balance the acidity of the body and thus speed up healing. Citrus fruits and juices should be avoided as an overly acidic environment tends to slow the healing process.

by Dr. Warren Gage

Custom orthotics

Last week I wrote about the benefits of wearing proper footwear and custom designed orthotics. This week I thought I would explain a bit more about how the orthotics are actually manufactured and are custom designed to fit our patients specific needs. After researching and trying numerous companies who produce orthotics for healthcare professionals, I am most impressed with the product produced by a company out of Vancouver called Kintec Labs. Before deciding to use their lab to produce orthotics for my patients, I travelled to Vancouver to tour their facilities. What I saw really impressed upon me the high-tech systems used to manufacture such top-quality orthotic insoles. Fitting a person with orthotics is a complex, multi-step process that starts in our chiropractic office. We first complete a full bio-mechanical assessment of your feet, legs, and spine. Next, a semi-weightbearing mould is made of your feet by pressing them into a memory foam-like material. These foam impressions are then couriered to Vancouver where they are uploaded into a computer by a 3-D laser scanner. This 3-dimensional image of your feet is then passed to another computer that cuts the exact shape of each of your feet out of wood. Next, the technicians refer back to my order form completed during my assessment, and they mould the desired materials over these wooden replicas of your feet. Specific modifications are then done to the orthotic to accommodate any unique foot issues noted on my assessment paperwork, and the orthotic is topped with whatever material we specify for cushioning. In about 10 days, a fully custom orthotic insole arrives back in our office accompanied by all required receipts and documentation. My staff is always sure to inform every person that the majority of extended health policies pay for all or most of the cost of the orthotic. And since most policies pay for a pair every one or two years, many patients will re-order a second pair at a later date so they do not have to change them out from shoe to shoe. If you would like to investigate how a custom foot orthotic can improve your quality of life, or if it is time to replace your old ones, contact the Chiropractors at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224 for an appointment.

Fracking and climate change - a public forum

Friday, April 5, 2013 Lakeshore News A5

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

By Jim Cooperman Climate change is the number one issue facing humanity, as emissions of CO2 and other global warming gases continue to increase at an alarming rate d e s p i t e efforts to curb the use of fossil fuels. Already the impacts of climate change are being felt around the world with glaciers and sea ice melting, extreme droughts, intense storms and rising oceans. Of particular concern to British Columbians is the rapid increase in shale gas development through a practice known as fracking, with plans to build liquefied natural gas plants in Kitimat and export the gas to Asia. In order for Shuswap residents to learn more about climate change and fracking, two local organizations, KAIROS-Salmon Arm and the Shuswap Environmental Action Society are sponsoring a public forum on Tuesday, April 9th at 7:00 p.m. at the United Church Hall, 450 Okanagan Ave. SE in Salmon Arm. Two expert speakers, Joe Foy (pictured, left) and Eoin Madden (right) from the Vancouver-based Wilderness Committee, will be giving presentations at this event. Joe Foy is the Wilderness Committee’s National Campaign Director and has been the driving force behind many of the group’s successful projects since 1987. Eoin Madden began his career in Ireland as a criminal lawyer and after completing a post-graduate degree in climate change he moved to B.C. and is now the Wilderness Committee’s Climate Change Campaigner. With deposits of conventional gas and oil dwindling, the industry is keen to develop less accessible deposits of ‘tight oil and gas’ using hydraulic fracturing or ‘fracking.’ This involves blasting millions of gallons of fracturing fluids, including sand, water, and toxic chemicals, into wellbores two miles deep that then angle or deviate horizontally another kilometer underground. The rock is broken up through use of extreme pressures. Proponents of fracking tell us this technology has been around for 60 years. “Not so,” says Anne

Morris of KAIROS-Salmon Arm. “It is only in the last decade that a combination of four new technologies has enabled industry to access gas and oil trapped between layers of shale rock. The problem is that this fracking technology has grown so quickly there has been insufficient time to do the scientific study on its environmental and health impacts, or on the impact of the inevitable accidents,” she says. “There is also concern that fracking causes chronic leaks of methane, a potent climate change driver. Many scientists believe that rapid shale gas development will exacerbate global climate change and could tip the world into climate chaos,” said Jim Cooperman, SEAS President. “Over the past decade the practice of fracking has crept into BC and has gained a dangerous foothold - without the people of B.C. having ever been asked if they wanted this highly polluting industry or not. It is time to turn a bright light on what is happening to fresh water resources and to the changing climate - while we still have the time and ability to act,” said Joe Foy, Wilderness Committee National Campaign Director. Climate change is already happen-

ing, and at a much faster rate than was expected. But a worst-case scenario can still be avoided if government leaders listen to the World Bank, the UN Energy Agency, and a coalition of the world’s largest investors who are calling for urgent action now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “At this crucial moment in time, we should be replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy resourc-

Wed, April 10 • 7-9 pm es rather than developing a new source of greenhouse gas emissions,” explained Cooperman. “Shale gas development is absolutely the wrong way to go,” he added. “Groundwater contamination caused by shale gas fracking operations is also a big concern. Nearly 1,000 cases of groundwater contamination have occurred in the U.S., and scores of contamination problems have been reported in Alberta as well. This has led a number of jurisdictions to ban or impose a moratorium on fracking,” explained Morris.

Tax News from Susan Grimes at H&R Block If you turned 71 during the year and you have RRSPs, you have to remember that they need to be transferred to a RRIF before the end of the year. You can of course withdraw them but usually this is not a wise option as the whole amount will be taxable on your tax return at once. If it is only a small amount then perhaps this is a good solution for you. To find out the tax consequences of withdrawing a partial or full amount come in and see us before you do anything so that we can advise you. Your investment advisor should alert you to the fact that something has to be done by age 71 and probably has some good options for you. Taxwise, make sure you see us to avoid problems later on. We are open and our tax specialists are ready to meet all of your taxation and bookkeeping needs.

FACEBOOK GETS PRIVATE INFO WHEN YOU “LIKE”

Last week I said Facebook gets information about you when you press a “like” button. A researcher at Cambridge University was one of the team that obtained the likes of more than 58,000 U.S. Facebook users who volunteered access to their data, as did the researchers. This is what Facebook can learn about you: your sexual orientation, gender, age, ethnicity, IQ, religion, politics, how you vote, whether you drink, smoke, or do drugs. They could identify if a person was black or white, and sometimes if the person was poor, and if the person was a child of divorce. Facebook’s Frederic Wolens said in a written statement that Facebook users could change the privacy settings on their likes to put them beyond the reach of researchers, advertisers or nearly anyone else.

MORE INFO ON B.C.’S NEW FAMILY LAW ACT

Police must get a court order before they can wiretap telephone conversations. Now they must do the same if they want a carrier to hand over texting conversations. It is a ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada.

B.C.’s Family Law Act, which came into effect March 18, changed many things for couples who have been living common-law for two years or more. Under the new act, common-law couples keep the property they bring into the relationship. Only property and debt that a couple accrues during the relationship is divided. Common-law couples can opt out of the property division rules if they make their own agreement. What they have to do is write it out and both partners have to sign it in front of an independent person. For the agreement to be valid, both partners have to provide full disclosure of their assets and liabilities.

The corporate-owned Canadian Tire store in Salmon Arm will close at the end of tomorrow, Saturday, April 6. The remaining stock will be moved to the new franchise store in Piccadilly, and it will open at 8 a.m. on Thursday, April 11. The flyer for the new store will have the same prices as elsewhere in the interior.

A women’s health walk/run is being held at the Salmon Arm fairgrounds on Mother’s Day. Called Footsteps for our Future, all proceeds will go to the Shuswap Lake HealthCare Auxiliary. The fundraiser will be held on Sunday, May 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Register at the Shuswap Hospital Foundation Piccadilly Mall kiosk or phone Gloria at 250832-0481.

NEW TRAFFIC LIGHT, CANCEL OLD ONE

The Trans-Canada Highway through Salmon Arm has many traffic lights, and it will probably get another at the access to the SmartCentres shopping area west of the city. If you were to recommend the removal of a light, would it be at the intersection with Shuswap St., Alexander St. or Ross St.? When Enderby experienced widening of the highway through the city, the one traffic signal on Cliff St., the main intersection, was removed and two were added, one a block north and another a few blocks south. It took months to get used to the change, but now I see it as being very efficient.

TRAFFIC GOES SLOWER THROUGH SORRENTO

There was always a problem getting through traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway through Sorrento to slow down. I think the problem has been alleviated. A sign on each approach to Sorrento says “Prepare to stop.” But it’s not a temporary sign. It’s painted on wood and screwed to two posts that were pounded into the side of the highway. I slowed down and looked for construction, but there was none. It’s a hoax!

I DECLINED THE GIFT OF AN iPHONE

My sons brought me an iPhone on the Easter weekend, the same kind of phone they each use. They transferred my number and information from my Nokia cell phone, and asked me to use the new phone for one day. Reluctantly I agreed. I struggled with it. I talked to a granddaughter in Victoria and we saw one another on our phones. But I didn’t have my hair combed so I didn’t think I would ever use that feature. I had trouble sending a text message to one of the boys. I wouldn’t take pictures with the iPhone because I want all my pictures on the laptop for easy retrieval. When I had the phone on mute, I missed a few calls because I didn’t feel it vibrate. It was too big to put in my pants pocket. Before they left for home in Victoria, they transferred my data back to the small Nokia. I am so happy to have it in my pocket at all times! No more missed calls. I love you boys, especially for respecting the wish of your 75-yearold mother. 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.

Tooth unfair-y

Happy to get her driver’s license back after a recent test, Helga Dodds demonstrates the electric scooter (along with her festively decorated helmet) she would have had to use if she had been unable to re-obtain her license. Howard Vangool photo.

The first day back to school after a couple weeks break is always a tough transition when you are six. So it wasn’t much of a surprise when our youngest Nate came into our room early Tuesday morning whimpering. “Mom, not only did I not get any money, but I have a bad cough too!” he whined, and then proceeded to show us how terrible his cough sounded. He had lost a tooth the day before and had put it under his pillow expecting a monetary reward when he woke up. Though we’ve never promoted the “tooth fairy” at our house per se; we’ve still had the tradition of giving the boys money when they lose their teeth. The fact they know it is us makes it all the more alarming when they wake up and find no money under their pillow. So at this point Nate was not only suffering from what was clearly the worst cough in history, but he was also thinking his parents were cheapskates. His mother reassured

him that the loonie was there, but due to his incessant squirming through the night it must have fallen between the mattress and the wall. So all was good and the terrible cough seemed to miraculously improve when he found his lost loonie. The whole episode reminded me of when I was a kid and my little sister lost a tooth. Being the ‘baby’ of the family, she was spoiled; at least in the eyes of my older sister and me. My parents would deny their favouritism, so we would always look for proof and eventually we got it. One morning my little sister came running into the kitchen waving a $20 bill and exclaiming, “Look at what I got for my tooth!” “Twenty bucks!? Are you kidding me? How come she got that much!? All we ever got was a quarter!” my older sister and I objected. Initially, my father tried to pass it off as inflation. However, we were old enough to do the math and realize we weren’t

exactly living in postwar Germany even if it felt like it at times. Eventually, my Dad confessed to the fact neither him nor my Mom had any change or bills smaller than a twenty. We thought the inflation story was more believable at that point. So being the bright entrepreneurial types, my older sister and I looked at each other, did the math and decided to help each other pull our teeth out. It lasted for a minute or so until we gave up. We might have not made any money that day, but we were satisfied knowing we finally had proof… the little sister was indeed spoiled! That was reward enough.

Friday, April 5, 2013 Lakeshore News A9

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

The TV series “Moonshiners” had gotten Red and Curly Swenson excited. They had gone to Freddy Crabtree’s shack on Zipper Lip Lake a few times, and tried his white lightnin.’ They saw his set-up, and decided it was OK to start a still. Things went fine until the thing blew up, setting the bush on fire! The cops arrived, along with a fire truck. The boys had to settle for Fred’s screech! Next day, they sat in a boat on Flapjack Lake, waiting for trout to bite.

Red would soak his lure in a fish oil concoction; then take a sip of lightnin,’ while Curly worked on a six-pack of beer. No results. They began to troll; Red with a Ford Fender and Curly with a gang troll/worm. Red caught trout consistently, while Curly was skunked. Even after switching rods, Red outfished him! So the fight was on. Ol’ G. G. Lawson, a conservation officer, was doing a compliance check of the lake that day, and got the boys for open liquor, treble hooks, and expired fishin’ licenses. Have you ever been in a situation when your buddy/wife/ girlfriend/ catches trout, and you try everything, to no avail? Now that the local lakes are becoming ice free, (White is fishing, Gardom soon), more anglers will be out on the water. (Good numbers of boats were out on Shuswap Lake Easter weekend, with some trout being caught). The question is, are some anglers luckier, or better, at catching fish? There are a number of factors that contribute to the answer. Years of angling. Knowing habits of trout, combined with their feeding times. What trout feed on. Are one or more strains easier to catch? And what about mortality? Studies by the Fresh Water

fisheries society on the three types of trout on a small lakes stocked study, show that Pennask rainbow trout are more vulnerable to fly fishing gear than other types. Blackwater (Gardom, Phillips, Forrest) are more aggressive, and are caught at a higher rate. Their release mortality is about 11%, depending on water temperature. Go to www. gofishbc.com/news-and-events/ industry-updates/fishmortality-rates.aspx. Next scenario: you’re trolling flies past a chap that is anchored off in a boat, with two fly lines laid out on the water, with strike indicators. He’s into his 23rd trout of the morning, as your frustration builds. He’s an angler who knows, along with many others, that 90% of a trout’s diet, is consumed near the bottom. He also knows about the bug life, and the entomology of hatching aquatic invertebrates. A quiet approach, with electric motors, works best and is called “nymphing.” Chironomids are small flies in bottom sand that rise from their pupae stage to the surface. Trout feed veraciously on them. The basic principle on chironomid fishing is to check the lake surface for dried tiny wings. Drop your anchor there, watching the bottom depth with your fish finder. Come up a foot off the bottom, setting your strike indicators at surface level. A dry line works (even sink tip). You can buy nymphing leader, and they are shorter at the butt section. Tapered fluoro-carbon is the best. A tiny split-shot or swivel is attached about 2-3 feet up from the end of leader. A strike indicator is a tiny float, attached to the fly line; they come in foam plastic or cork. Choice of chironomids can vary, with cold water. Some anglers start with tiny chrome/silver, with black rib. There are dozens of patterns/ colours, including beadhead versions. As with all else, patience is virtue with this fishery. With your

first trout caught, examine its tummy contents, or use a stomach pump, to see what it’s taking at that feeding time. Polarized glasses help in locating cruising/feeding trout along shoreline shoals, as well. Nymphing is a great way to fish, and there are many books and DVD’s available to help you get started. Best advice of all? Go to your sport/outdoor shop, and the staff will gladly get you started. Locally, Todd or Bill at Westside Stores will help you out, with advice and proper gear to go “nymphing” on our wonderful local trout-filled lakes. I presume Curly and Red have a lot to learn!

What I value...

ECONOMIC SECURITY

Development of skills-training programs and manufacturing/industry based job creation. The current situation... · A shortage of year-round, full-time employment in the Shuswap, resulting in seasonal lay-offs.

· Family separation due to employment being sought away from home causes hardships for many local families.

· Loss of our skilled workforce to outside provinces further depleting the opportunity for employment in the Shuswap.

Skills training programs, job creation & expansion of our tourism industry are vital to the growth and prosperity of the Shuswap.

This tuition FREE training program is designed to prepare students for modern entry-level administrative positions, or to upgrade the skills of individuals who have previously been employed in an administrative capacity but whose skills are no longer current. To be eligible for this tuition FREE training, applicants must be: • Unemployed • Not attached to Employment Insurance • Legally entitled to work in Canada • A resident of British Columbia • Not be a student (ie. enrolled in high school or other post-secondary training) • Not participating in another LMA funded program Program runs: Monday - Friday from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. at Okanagan College in Salmon Arm. Program dates are May 13 - August 1, 2013

Horseshoe Club plans for the season ahead

By Faith Juell With the springing of Spring, the Salmon Arm Horseshoe Club is preparing to start a busy season. The executive met on March 21st, to discuss new insurance coverage, utilities, and upcoming practices and tournaments. Our opening practice and cleanup time was set for 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 16th, with regular afternoon practices and cleanups each

Tuesday and Thursday until later in May. The first tournament in the valley will be held May 4 in Penticton, with Salmon Arm’s first tournament on Saturday, May 11. Tournament schedules were printed for members of the executive. This year we are fortunate to have the Seniors’ Games in Kamloops August 22–24. We are hoping for a good turnout of red and white, for the host zone

Grande Parade Inn. We are also fortunate to have the Provincial Championships hosted in Penticton starting August 21st. For further information about this easy-toplay and reasonably-priced sport, call Doug at 832-8520 or Faith at 832-9873. The Salmon Arm Horseshoe Club is located next to the curling rink and lawn bowling area, behind Shaw Centre.

The notorious lineup for early French immersion was virtually non-existent this year. In contrast to last year, where there were numerous families camping out for several nights, some with trailers; this year, only four individuals were let in the previous evening. The remainder of the registrants arrived early Wednesday morning, to sign up by 8 a.m. At press time there were 39 children registered for kindergarten, leaving five places free. Anyone interested in registering their child in French immersion kindergarten can phone Bastion Elementary at 250-832-3741. Don’t worry if you are too late to grab one of the remaining few spaces – a waiting list is maintained, because family moves and other factors may allow a space or two to open up by the beginning of the school year.

By Lorraine Powell, MacKenzie Camp Society The fun-filled Pie Rights of Penn’s Aunts is written and produced for MacKenzie Camp by our own award-winning musical playwright Lindzy Lundquist. She, along with her crew of actors, presents an extremely silly, pun-and-music- filled romp with pyrite (Fool’s Gold), gold diggers, fun songs and characters like Auntie Social and Auntie Dote, Captain Crunch and even Dr. Hook! The play runs May 3,4, & 5th at St. Andrew’s United Church. May 3rd and 4th are evening dinner performances, and all tickets for this must be reserved in advance ($15); tickets for just the show are also available for $10. May 5th is a dessert matinee, with pie served after the performance – tickets are $12. Please call 250838-7315 for more information or to reserve your seats.

Second in line as part of the Jazz-Mini Fest is the Cookers from Toronto, playing on Thursday, April 11th at 7:00 p.m. at the SAGA Public Art Gallery on Hudson St. The band is headed by Ryan Oliver, originally from the wilds of Williams Lake, and who has shared the stage with the likes of Joe Cohn, Phil Dwyer, Vic Juris and Terry Clarke. The Cookers represents the best of two worlds, drawing largely on the straight-ahead, classic jazz tradition, and carving out a lineage of authentically Canadian jazz music. Come and see for yourself what’s cooking! Suggested admission donation $15.00. Photo contributed.

Use your ears wing blackbird singing in the cattails is another sure sign of spring. Although a few of these blackbirds still return to the cattails in my boggy area, twenty-five years ago flocks of well over a hundred birds would stop in my cottontail trees in the evening, on their way to their roost, and would literally bellow out their song, with a most melodious undersong threading its way through the main melody. More of my favourite

By Karen Beggs spring sounds include the excited chattering and whistling of the chickadees; the small, almost duck-like call of the nuthatches; the screaming of circling red-tailed hawks; the honking of passing Canada geese; the calling and drumming of many kinds of woodpeckers; the chattering of squirrels; warbling of coyotes; and the busy working of bees. Then there are the siskins, juncos, California quail, magpies, crows, robins,

white-crowned sparrows, and on and on. I am now waiting for the chacking call of the snipe that sits on top of the fenceposts across the field. I wait to hear him drumming as he performs his aerial display. You may have noticed that all of these sounds are my favourites! It depends on which one I am listening to at the time; each one bringing as much pleasure as the

other. So when you go outside, often your ears first make you aware of the presence of birds, animals and insects. Then you can look around for a sighting. So open your ears as well as your eyes. It is amazing what a busy natural world is out there.

LAKE VIEW & VIEW OF MT. IDA Ot

Spring is here. I have actually been saying this for over a month. Despite the snow; despite my friends telling me that I was overly optimistic. It doesn’t matter. I know spring has been here for quite some time. It isn’t the date that tells me, nor the weather. It is simply the feeling. All you have to do is go outside and listen, and when I do, I can hear spring unfolding around me. Early in the morning, before it is fully light, I can hear a saw-whet owl sounding its repetitive song in the trees at the far end of my property. I can also hear, and have done for some weeks, a pair of great horned owls calling back and forth to each other in the Larch Hills woods. Being such early nesters, their mating calls start before I even think of spring. As the light increases, the thrilling bell-like call of the varied thrush rings out–one of my very favourite sounds of spring. Until I hear another of my favourite sounds, the piping call of the kildeer in my neighbour’s field where they lay their eggs. They used to nest in my horse pasture; but perhaps recognized the potential danger of the eggs being trampled, and decided to move over across the fence. Then another of my favourite songs is that of the song sparrow. The tenative twittering becomes a full-blown joyous song that literally stops me in my tracks. The return of the red-

Tee-off time is at 3:00 p.m. and the entry fee of $65.00 includes nine holes of golf, and dinner. For reservations and more details please call Tom Cole at 250-832-2762. MacKenzie Camp’s summer schedule for children and families of all ages is available at www.mackenziecamp.ca. The theme for this summer’s camps is “Discovering Reality,” as campers immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. The camp sponsored eighty-two children last year through the generous donations and fund raising of the surrounding community organizations. Two major events are scheduled at this time with all the proceeds going to camperships – so mark your calendars!

Art ‘en plein aire’

SAGA Public Art Gallery in Salmon Arm, BC is pleased to present “Mary Plein Aire,” opening Friday, April 5 at 7:00 p.m. Mary Letham was a prolific painter of watercolour and oil paintings in the Shuswap.

All works are available for sale at $200 each, half of which will go toward the new Mary Letham Arts Award at the Salmon Arm Fair. Mary passed away in 2012 at the age of 90. She belonged to the Blind Bay Painters, the Mt. Ida Painters and the Art Gallery Association. Mary was an inspiration to many artists in the area. “Mary Plein Aire” is sponsored by Chris and Tina Letham, and runs until Saturday, April 27th. The Artist Trading Card session is Tuesday, April 9 from 3:00–4:00 p.m. and Coffee Break is on Thursday, April 18th from 2:00–4:00 p.m. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

A very special first Easter

Friday, April 5, 2013 Lakeshore News A13

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

By Howard Vangool Three-year-old Alexandria (Sasha) Slewchuk and her mother Veronica celebrated their very first Easter this year by attending the Easter egg hunt at Sorrento on Easter Sunday. Veronica’s eyes shine with pride as she helps her young daughter seek out the shining eggs hidden in the park. Each and every egg that Sasha finds is considered a huge victory; as the little girl with the big smile holds her woven basket with the colourful grass inside, under which she tucks each little foil-wrapped egg like the treasure it is to her. The reason for the victory is that young Sasha was diagnosed at age 12 months with retinoblastoma, a

rare form of eye cancer. Sasha is very lucky to be able to see the eggs, as she is now blind in one eye and has limited vision in the other. Yet, as her mother explains, it is much better than being completely blind–at least the doctors didn’t take her eyes out like they would have done for the same diagnosis not too many years past. Veronica herself speaks with a lovely Russian accent and explains that, for herself, this is the first time she has hunted Easter eggs as well, because she is only recently from Russia. Sasha was born in Canada and Veronica is very grateful, speaking passionately about the great cancer facilities in Ontario that saved her child’s life. Sasha plays nearby, putting little rocks on the slide in the park and watching them bump down and land on the ground. She then takes a whole handful of sand and puts it

on the slide, laughing as as she watches gravity do its thing. Meanwhile, Veronica tells me she wants everyone to know that no matter what the diagnosis and no matter how bad it seems, to keep going, keep believing, and never give up. I can’t help but think of a well-known fish in a children’s movie who says “Just keep swimming” as I watch Sasha climb up the slide halfway, until it is too steep to go further so she turns around and slides down and then goes up the ladder. I turn back to Veronica, who continues to explain that retinoblastoma is quite rare; only 1 in 15,000 people develop it, and there are only three centres worldwide that are very good at treating it–one of which is in Ontario. Retinoblastoma is generally first detected by an optometrist, one reason that children should be given an eye exam early on in life. She explains how the cancer clinic saved her child and that they would soon go to get the tests to prove that her child is cancer-free, but she already knows in her heart that the test results will be in her daughter’s favour. She says that when that happens, they will start looking into options for eye sur-

gery to help the young girl see even better. I can’t help but think of my own recent laser eye surgery to correct my vision, and how it has changed my life in the short time since I had it. I hope that with all the improvements in eye surgery techniques in recent years, they will be able to further improve Sasha’s vision as well. Sasha’s mom tells me that either way, at least her child is alive–it could have been much worse, and she is so grateful to everyone who helped them both. I walk over to

Sasha and talk to her, thanking her for being such a wonderful little girl. She looks at me with a triumphant smile and says in a clear voice,

“You’re welcome!” Then mother and daughter make their way hand-inhand through the park and join the crowd on this sunny Easter Sunday.

Leonard Polley 1944 - 2013

Born in Vancouver, Len joined the army in 1961 and was sworn in by Smokey Smith VC. Posted to the 2nd Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, he was eventually transferred to Germany and became the Central Registry Clerk. It was in Cologne he met Joyce, his wife of 46 years and the love of his life. While in Germany, he was able to get special leave and travelled to England for the funeral of Winston Churchill. Upon his return to Canada, he attended BCIT and graduated a Civil and Structural Technologist in 1970, working out of Kamloops and Westwold as inspector on transmission lines and power dams in Hudson’s Hope and Revelstoke. In 1992, he held a position with the Federal Government as a Contract Parole Officer. For over 15 years he also served as an RCMP Auxiliary in both Falkland and Revelstoke. Upon retirement in 1999, he and Joyce found their dream property in the Salmon Arm area where he spent the happiest days of his life with his dogs, his books and his newspapers. His last 5 years, he proudly served as a Volunteer Firefighter with the Silver Creek Fire Dept., the last 3 years as Safety Officer with the rank of Lieutenant. The family will miss their go-to guy but he felt blessed to be able to spend special time with son Josh and daughter Irene and to visit with all his grandchildren. He taught us all how to die with courage, grace and dignity. At a later date the family and friends will gather in Westwold to bury Len’s ashes beside his youngest son, Nick.

Frederick “Brian” Pratt May 7, 1924 - March 26, 2013

Born in Birtle, Manitoba and passed in Salmon Arm, BC. He was predeceased by his parents John and Kathleen, brothers Dennis and David, and sister Eileen; survived by his brother Ed, his children Ruth (Carl), John (Helga), Harry (Josie), Marie (Ray) and grandchildren Steve, Scott, Kathryn, Megan, Harrison, Keani, Subrina and Arthur. He served in WWII as a member of the RCAF in the 405 and 419 squadrons and flew on 21 Pathfinder missions over Germany. On May 7th, 1945 as a part of Operation Manna, he flew over Holland dropping food to the Dutch. It was the end of the war and his 21st birthday. He said, “It was the best birthday party ever”. He also served 27 years as a member of the RCMP in Ontario and British Columbia. As an active member of the RCMP Veterans he was granted a lifetime membership which was an honor he was very proud to receive. Brian had many interests throughout his life but he will probably be best remembered for his musical talents and wonderful booming voice.

SUDOKU

Capricorn, write things down this week before you say them to be sure you have everything correct. This will help you when you need to make an important announcement.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, you may feel like escaping to a fantasy world, but that does not mean the pressing matters will simply disappear. A vacation may recharge your batteries.

PISCES

You are in much better shape than you think you are, Pisces. So don’t be too hard on yourself this week. It is alright to put your feet up.

ARIES

Aries, some conflicting signals from a friend this week might seem like trouble is ahead. But it’s more likely that your perception of the situation is a little off.

TAURUS

Taurus, your imagination has a life of its own this week. You may be thinking of living on the edge a little bit in the next few days but don’t overdo it.

GEMINI

Gemini, avoid a deep discussion about your feelings with someone at work this week. Now is not the time or the place to share anything personal, so keep it professional.

CANCER

Cancer, don’t get sidetracked this week because coworkers are expecting your full attention and effort at the office. You may need to juggle a few responsibilities for the time being.

LEO

Leo, make sure you comments are not misinterpreted this week. Someone might take something the wrong way, so choose your words carefully.

VIRGO

Virgo, you may be feeling great physically, but there is a nagging problem that you simply cannot identify. Give it time and it will come to the surface.

LIBRA

Libra, you know what you want and do not need anyone’s approval, but you can’t help checking in with a family member this week to get a second opinion.

SCORPIO

Scorpio, channel your romantic feelings into action this week. Act sooner rather than later and make the most of your emotions while they’re strong.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius, learn from the past but do not allow letdowns from the past to dictate your future. There is no guarantee that things will be repeated.
