The special greenways of Salmon Arm
In 2011 the City of Salmon Arm approved a Greenways Strategy plan that promoted, for all levels of ability, an interconnected network of trails and greenways for non-motorized use. The idea for these greenways and trails is to link the city centre, neighbourhoods, and points of interest in order to provide healthy transportation, outdoor recreation, ecological connectivity and tourism opportunities.
Salmon Arm is fortunate to currently have around 58 kilometres of trails in the areas of the waterfront, North and South Canoe, Turner Creek and various city parks. Here are brief descriptions of the trails and greenways, most of which are wilder areas with mostly
the arched tunnel of trees partway along the trail. The Turner Creek Trail is a pleasant way to walk to and from downtown from upper central neighbourhoods while avoiding a lot of pavement and built up areas. Although steep in places, it is scenic and more direct than many of the roads. Little Mountain Park is a popular place to experience the quiet of a forest as well as a wonderful viewpoint over part of the city.
natural habitat. In the western downtown area on the waterfront is Peter Jannink Nature Park. You can walk a pleasant loop there to enjoy the grassland and birds and plants along the shoreline. The foreshore nature trail through SABNES land east of downtown is a beautiful walk or bike ride for nature lovers, birders, and photographers. I never get tired of wandering through

As mentioned in last month’s column, it is great for hikers and dog walkers, cyclists, and snowshoers. Cress Creek Trail is a little gem set in a greenway in a creek ravine between a couple of neighbourhoods. Trail access is either from 20th Ave. NE near 24th St. NE or from Lakeshore Road near 24th Ave. NE. The easier way to traverse it is from 20th Ave. NE to Lakeshore as it’s downhill. This is a great place to walk on a warm or hot day as it’s cooler in the picturesque, shady gully. South Canoe has a large network of trails ideal for mountain bikers, horseback riders and walkers. Access is from 10th Ave. SE off Highway 97B. This is where the Salty Dog mountain bike races take place each Spring.
North Canoe has the Park Hill trail system, located in the forest and slopes above Canoe Beach. It’s a wonderful area to spend an hour or more hiking or cycling through its over four kilometres of looping trails. Coyote Park, also in the northern part of the city, off of Lakeshore Road near 54th Ave NE, has about two and a half kilometres of well constructed trails that loop through pine, fir and cedar trees, with a few glimpses out to Shuswap Lake. Take time this year to explore some or all of these wonderful greenways located within the city. I know that I never tire of revisiting them!

New society to address invasive species
A new non-profit society is forming in the Columbia Shuswap region to address invasive species. The Columbia Shuswap Invasive Species Society (CSISS) has brought together representatives from provincial and local government, environmental groups, utility companies, parks
and others to collectively address the issue of invasive species and their impacts. “We are very excited about this new approach to invasive species management in the region” says Joyce de Boer, member of Wildsight Golden who sits on the interim Board of Directors. “The issue of invasive species affects all of us, whether it be from agricultural costs, decline of fisheries, or impacts to the environment.” The CSISS services the geographic area of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District with the mandate to educate and engage public, private landowners, land and aquatic managers, first nations and others about invasive species Land managers and others gather to discuss invasive species and their impacts, and and their management and the importance of a regional invato establish and operate

Duma survives
Duma the Road Warrior doesn’t have nine lives anymore. In fact I am pretty sure she’s down to around five or six lives and she isn’t even a full year old. Last Thursday just before supper, I was relaxing and watching a little TV when my youngest Nate ran frantically into the TV room. “Duma’s been hit by a car and is gushing blood everywhere!” he exclaimed. Initially I didn’t take it too seriously, but out of curiosity I thought I should investigate. As we walked to the mudroom he explained what happened. As the story goes, the boys were playing basketball outside when Duma came running down to the house. They didn’t think much of it initially until a man in a red truck pulled into the driveway. The man explained to the boys that he saw a blue car hit the cat and that they should let their parents know. So the younger boys came in to tell their Mom what happened while one of the older boys went to look for Duma. Jackson found her lying in a flower bed, picked her up and brought her into the mudroom. By the time I got there all of them were on their knees huddled around her. I won’t go into all the gory details, except to say that my wife and I figured the bleeding was internal and that no
invasive species management programs. “We have seen how successful regional invasive plant committees can be in the rest of the province” says Catherine MacRae with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “When a broad range of land managers and other stakeholders work together, so much more can be accomplished.” The CSISS will be focusing this year on bringing together land managers, outreach and landowner support, strategic planning, and establishing itself as an organization. The formation of the CSISS was supported by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District whose Board of Directors voted in favour of forming a partnership with this organization to deliver their Noxious Weed program. The CSISS is currently seeking an enthusiastic, experienced Coordinator on a long-term contract basis. For more information on the CSISS or to get involved, please contact csinvasives@ gmail.com.

bones appeared to be broken. The boys had seen some blood on her foot and assumed she had cut her foot, but I knew it was more significant. After some back and forth discussion and even a little prayer from our youngest Nate, we decided to call the vet and find out what we should do. It was decided to leave her for the night and then see how she was in the morning. We could tell she was in some pain, but she was breathing normally and just wanted to lie and rest. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t overly opti-
mistic when I got up early the next morning to check on her. I figured I’d better be the first one to see how she’s doing just in case she didn’t make it. Thankfully, she was still doing okay. After a few days of rest and healing she now appears to be back to her old self. I am not sure how much she’ll retain in her memory bank that will prevent her from venturing close to the road again. I had a client tell me that a cat’s intelligence is a reflection of the owner’s intelligence. Yikes, Duma better put in a request for a new owner!

Magnesium
Ask your Cosmetician Spa Illuminate Skin Renewal System New from REVLON, a hand held Spa System
Fifty percent of the total amount of magnesium in the body is found in the bones, which points to its importance. Calcium is the central mineral in bone mineralization. However, the quality of calcium formed depends on magnesium, which is important for healthy bones. If it is lacking in our diet it may be necessary to take a supplement. Magnesium is also necessary for the many important operations of enzymes, and to facilitate the metabolism of calcium. Magnesium deficiency may occur due to vomiting, alcoholism, inflammatory bowel disease, taking certain medications or other conditions. The minimum recommended daily intake of magnesium is 350 to 400 grams, but more may be needed in certain heath conditions. Diets that provide the recommended levels of magnesium beneficial for bone health include green leafy vegetables. Other foods rich in magnesium are whole grains, nuts, beans, seeds, fish, and avocados. Water contains magnesium, too. Some foods are low in magnesium. For example, about 80% of the mag-
nesium found in bran, rice and wheat germ is removed in the milling process. Therefore, refined grain products such as white bread and white rice are poor sources of magnesium. Six to nine servings of fruits and vegetables daily supplies most of the amount needed. Several studies have shown that a greater magnesium intake maintains bone mineral density to a greater degree than a lower magnesium intake, but further investigation is needed on the role of magnesium in bone metabolism and osteoporosis. Among other advantages of taking magnesium with calcium is that it can ease the constipation sometimes associated with calcium supplements. The recommended ratio of calcium and magnesium is 2:1. However, a 1:1 ratio has also been used effectively. Magnesium does interfere with certain medications, so before taking any supplement it is best to check with your health care professional. Also, remember that sunshine, vitamin D, fresh and nutritious meals, exercise, and keeping in harmony with the inner self are most important for overall health, including bone health.

by Dr. Warren Gage
Oh, my aching feet
When a new person comes into our office for an assessment; in addition to discussing the state of their overall health and wellness, we also discuss any musculoskeletal problems they may be experiencing. A large percent of people report suffering lower leg and foot pain and dysfunction. Not surprisingly, one of the common denominators among our patients is that they spend a lot of time either walking or standing on hard surfaces. In a thorough chiropractic examination of someone with leg and foot problems, a full assessment of their spinal column is first completed. In addition to assessing how a person stands and walks, digital x-rays are taken while in a standing position (as opposed to lying down) in order to determine their spinal, pelvic, and hip alignment during their “normal” posture. We also look for any disc degeneration in the lumbar spine which results in subluxation (pressure on the nerves that control every function of the legs and feet). Once a diagnosis of their bio-mechanical issues is determined, we begin a series of chiropractic spinal adjustments in order to restore proper function of the lower back, and to release subluxation patterns (pressure from the nerves) that travel down the legs. Another recommendation we make to our patients is to consider having custom insoles or an orthotic device designed for their specific needs. We are equipped to custom fit our patients in-house. Generally, it is a 10-day to two-week turnaround time in which the orthotic devices are completed and ready for patient pick-up in the practice. Research shows the importance of having proper cushion and support under one’s feet to reduce fatigue and pain in the lower limbs. We also see improvement up the entire spine of people we fit for custom orthotics, your feet after all are the “foundation” of your entire body. A combination of adjustments to the spine to release subluxation (nerve tension), and improved mechanical function of the lower legs and feet through a custom fit orthotic device often results in improved health and reduced pain and symptoms in your feet, knees, hip and lower back. For more information on how orthotics can improve your health and performance, contact the chiropractors at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.
Nel Peach receives prestigious medal
www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca
Nel Peach is an example of an individual who demonstrates a true dedication to making a difference in the lives of Canadians living with diabetes. She takes her health seriously and truly cares about people living with this chronic disease. She’s been a volunteer for the Association for almost 30 years and during this time has taken on many roles from local Board Member to Branch Chair to Support Group facilitator to Learning Series presenter to member of the 2008 Clinical Practice Guidelines Committee and is currently serving her last year as Regional Chair for the Interior BC region. Nel takes every opportunity to spread the diabetes message and create awareness about the disease in her community and nationally. She’s been an advocacy champion both provincially and nationally. Nel has also been instrumental in fundraising for the Association and through our Team Diabetes program has raised an incredible $45,000 since 2003. Currently, she is fundraising for her 12th Team Diabetes event that will take her to
Amsterdam in the fall. She’s received numerous awards recognizing her commitment to diabetes including Regional Inspiration Award, Regional Service Award, and National and Regional Volunteer of the Year. As well, in 2012, Nel was recognized in her community with a nomination for Women of the Year in Salmon Arm. Nel has never let an opportunity pass by to support people living with diabetes, even lighting her home with blue lights in recognition of World Diabetes Day. The mission of the Canadian Diabetes Association—to lead the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives while we work to find a cure—is brought to life through the actions of individuals like Nel Peach! Gordon, Nel’s
husband, is her strongest supporter, who not only shares his lovely wife’s commitment to fight the diabetes fight, but also lends his own time to the cause. Below: Nel Peach (left) and Connie Abram, Regional Director, BC of the Canadian Diabetes Association. Photo contributed.

I once had occasion to sell a lady vertical blinds for her wall to wall windows overlooking downtown Calgary. Huge window. She insisted on pink plastic. It was one of those instances where, had I been more experienced, I would have just put my foot down and said, “No, that’s not going to happen on my watch.” But I didn’t. She was happy with them, however, and didn’t mind the noise they made as they clanked into each other. The beauty of them, for her, was they stacked back into the window frame quite nicely, they matched the colour of the walls and they provided total blackout when they were closed. Such is the love/hate relationship most of us who sell these things have with them – the vertical blind. When they are used for their intended purpose, they are fantastic. Their intended purpose? Small stackback, light filtering to total blackout coverage, ease of operation, they can be mounted inside or outside the window frame, can be drawn left or right – perfect for patio doors, or; if split in the center, can be made to span a considerable width, and they carry a lowermid-range price. And now, the motorization of verticals is affordably priced by some manufacturers. Disadvantages? The vinyl ones clank together when they are opened or closed, or when the wind blows on them. The should not be positioned over a heat register. The fabric ones are often chained together along the bottom; deadly for pets and small children. But their biggest disadvantage overall has to be their ho-hum utilitarian appearance. They don’t come in pretty prints, and there are just so many variations on molded plastic, which more often than not looks like molded plastic, that can be conjured. The fabric vanes must, of necessity, be sturdy and they are strict proponents of the adage that form follows function. However, they are also the basis for a wizard window treatment called the privacy sheer. A sheer curtain is woven through the slats of the blind and attached to the top of each vane. When the blinds are drawn and the vanes are tilted to the open position, this sheer creates soft coverage between the slats. And now we have wood verticals–and they look great, which surprised me. Sometimes, you may want wood venetians on all the other windows, but that doesn’t work on the patio door. So – wood verticals. There you are. The skinny on vertical blinds.

A small deduction that is often neglected is the safety deposit box. The fee that you pay to your bank for one of these boxes is tax deductible. Fees paid for investment council are also deductible as are fees paid for managment and safe custody of your investments. Interest from loans used to invest in Canadian or foreign investments, including Canada Savings Bonds, are also deductible. You always need to obtain proof of payment to be able to deduct these expenses.

DUNCAN MYERS VISITS SORRENTO, ITALY
The mayor of Sorrento, Italy, left, was visited by Duncan Myers of Sorrento, Canada. During Sorrento’s 100-year celebration in 2012, a suggestion was made that contact be made with Sorrento, Italy. Duncan Myers, a volunteer for the celebrations, took a cruise in the Eastern Mediterranean in February of this year. One stop was in Naples, Italy which was near the City of Sorrento. He contacted the city and got a call back saying they were excited that there was such a place in Canada named after their city. At his own cost he took the hour-long trip from Naples via one of the cruise’s organized coach tours that went to Sorrento. He had with him an album of the community centennial events and brochures, Sorrento and CSRD pins, a Sorrento banner from the centennial, plus a Native design carving of salmon spawning on the Adams River. He had a letter of greeting from Sorrento on the Shuswap to Sorrento, Italy, that was written by Barry Stokes, president of the Sorrento Community & Area Committee along with Paul Demenok, Columbia Shuswap Regional District director for Area C which includes Sorrento. The message had been translated into Italian by Caleb Espinoza. At the city hall, Mayor Gioseppe Cuomo was very gracious and interested in learning about Sorrento. Duncan gave him a banner from the centennial celebrations and the two had a picture taken with the flag of Sorrento, Italy. The mayor gave him gifts from the city that will be given to the association for the centennial archives. Mayor Cuomo provided a letter of greetings from his city encouraging a future formal relationship between the two communities. Duncan said, “With the warm reception I received it truly made this a memorable vacation.”

MOTORCYCLES DISPLAYED AT PICCADILLY
Next weekend, April 5, 6 and 7, Piccadilly will host a Show & Shine by the BC Lone Wolves motorcycle club. Look for the bikes and riders along the mall, and especially in front of the biker-friendly Touch ‘a’ Texas store. BC Lone Wolves have 346 members in B.C. with new members joining almost every day. If you are not a member, you can register for free on the website. Join some of the rides and make new friends. Google BC Lone Wolves. The annual Summer Stomp motorcycle rally may be in the mall to promote its move from Silver Creek to Sicamous this year. The Stomp is a local non-profit group that has been meeting in the valley for over two decades. These two groups, BC Lone Wolves and Summer Stomp, are the good guys. Please greet them in the mall. They may be dressed in black leather but they do not belong to a motorcycle gang. They are part of the 99 percent of riders who are gang-free. You can keep in touch with riders across Canada through www.beltdrivebetty.com, and read Betty’s daily editorial.
YOU CAN VISIT YOUR DOCTOR BY TELEPHONE
Beginning on Monday, April 1, the BC government will pay doctors to take telephone calls from their patients. The option is part of the government’s larger plan to ensure that all British Columbians who want a family doctor will have access to one by 2015. Phone calls will reduce doctors’ workloads and free them to see more patients at the office. They will be paid $15 per call, to a maximum of 500 each year. Minister of Health Margaret MacDiarmid hopes the new funding will attract family doctors to B.C.
UKRAINE FUNDRAISING BANQUET, SADOK DANCERS
The 17th annual banquet featuring delicious perogies and cabbage rolls will be held at Broadview Church on Sat., April 6 at 6 p.m. Funds will go to programs for physically and mentally challenged individuals in Ukraine. The dinner will be followed by a performance by Sadok Ukrainian dancers from Vernon. Admission is by donation but you must pre-register by calling the church at 250-832-6366.

A workshop will be held on Tuesday, April 16 from 7 to 9 p.m. that will be of great value to anyone who is grieving. It will be led by Ray McGinnis of Vancouver, author of Writing the Sacred. If you google his name, you will see that he has given many workshops across Canada and U.S. The poster states: Grief is a natural response to the loss of someone or something meaningful, such as a person, a relationship, a job, health, shifting, vitality, a pet, independence, the loss of a deeply held belief, or anything that is emotionally valued. In a confidential and supportive setting, Ray will lead participants in a writing workshop called “Write Through Grief & Loss.” The cost is $15 at the door. No previous writing experience is necessary. Space is limited, so pre-register by calling First United Church at 250-832-3860 or St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at 250-832-9196. The workshop will be held at Bowers’ Funeral Home, 440 10th St. SW in Salmon Arm.
BARBARA WALTERS IS 83 YEARS OLD
The famous interviewer on TV who started “The View” on ABC 16 years ago, is 83 years old and still going strong. How many of you can say that? The View is my favourite daily program at 10 a.m. Barbara had several facelifts and maintains a youthful appearance. Several months ago Barbara hugged an actor friend cheek-to-cheek, and caught a virus from his shingles. It gave her chickenpox which she didn’t have as a child. Before the diagnosis, she became dizzy, fell in public and hit her head on the floor, suffering a concussion. She took a few months off to recover. Joy Behar, who is 70, is leaving The View at the end of this season. She’s been with it since Day 1.

When you “like” someone on Facebook, it gives Facebook a ton of information about you.

Letters to the Editor
Results of upcoming election may be the strangest ever
One of the politically strangest provincial elections in BC’s history is just around the corner. I think this election is going to take the first place ribbon for being the only election in BC history that will place a party in power that didn’t even run a campaign. Not that it was a bad thing, but the NDP was unbelievably quiet. It sounds strange but think about the following–the Conservatives have a chance, about as good as getting a ride to the moon and back, but they will still receive votes from those who would like to try and get that ride anyway! The Greens, well, they keep getting greener but the paint can is
still fairly small! The once-enlightened Liberal savours are evaporating quicker than gasoline in the sunlight, but they will still receive votes from those diehards who would be willing to check the fuel level in the tank, with a lighter! The Famous Fidget-Budget NDP, and its leader Quick Pen Dix, must ask Motormouth Moe what to tell the good folks of BC and keep his charming looks, with the hopes that you don’t remember! For a party that never has anything constructive to say, it must be a difficult task to have all the early polls indicating that, due to
der Hoek and John Doornberg. The Social Bridge Club meets Thursday afternoons at the Seniors’ 5th Ave Activity Centre at 1:00 p.m. Play starts at 1:15 p.m. 832-3659. Sunday duplicate bridge results for March 24 are as follows: in first place, Peggy Petersen & Orville Cooper; in second place, Ona Bouchard & Carol Jeffery; in third place, Doug Sinclair & Mike Clayton; and in fourth place, Dan Quilty & Gerry Chatelain. The Sunday Duplicate Club meets every Sunday at 1:00 p.m. 832-6550.
the prediction of a split vote, wanted or not, the NDP gets the job! I almost feel sorry for them– their old tricks would be harder to use again and a lot of their new tricks, just got used by the Liberals; it kind of puts them in a tight spot! Maybe Dix can use Carol James’ 2009 comment, given after she was asked to detail her plan: “We have three years to develop it.” Yeah, that was a good one! I guess we can look at it from the other bright side–Susan Lambert is gone and we still have Jim Sinclair and Moe Sihota to keep things in good order. Bryon Every, White Lake

Jerry Linowski and Carol Pierce have enjoyed several wonderful cruise ship trips. This show is on their cruise from San Diego to Peru. Ports of call in Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Ecuador, and Peru are featured in Jerry’s unique and creative manner. Ian and Wendy Clay spent 10 weeks in S.E. Australia in late 2011, including exploring Sydney and the Blue Mountains. They will show photos of some familiar sights and landmarks, as well as lesser known
ones from these two areas. Scenic walks and hikes, ferry rides, interesting places and architecture are just some of what you will see. This is a fundraiser for the Shuswap Photo Arts Club, which has just purchased a new digital projector to replace a broken projector. A minimum $5 donation is suggested. Come out and explore some wonderful places in the world without spending a fortune or getting jetlag! For more information contact Ian and Wendy Clay at 250-832-2350 or iwclay@shaw.ca.
Model train show sure to delight
Everyone has a soft spot for trains, especially in the Kamloops area. We have the CPR, CN, Kelowna Pacific, VIA, and Rocky Mountaineer all running through here, not to mention the one we’re especially proud of–our 100-year-old steam train, the #2141. On April 5 and 6 you’ll get a chance to see lots more trains…in miniature. Kamloops is hosting the National Model Railway Associations Pacific Northwest model train meet. Model railroaders from BC, Alberta, and the northwest states will gather at the Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way, to operate their model trains, attend modeling clinics, railway presentations, enter modeling contests, buy and sell model trains and railway artifacts, and more. The halls will be filled with model railway operating layouts large and small, model trains of all scales and ages, steam and diesel, from the 1800’s to today’s modern giants, train displays, train movies, contests, door prizes, refreshments, and lots of fun for all ages.
Do classifieds work? Is grass green?
Animal lovers can put the big jar of pennies they’ve been collecting to good use this spring to help animals in need. Select BC SPCA branches across the province, including the Shuswap branch, will be collecting donations (pre-rolled pennies preferred) until May 31. “Many people have a jar of coins sitting in a closet or drawer in their home,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “We are so grateful to anyone who gives their pennies to help animals in their community.” Since the Royal Canadian Mint stopped distributing pennies on Feb. 4, the BC SPCA is hoping the phased out coin can make a big difference to dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters and more. “Every penny counts,” says Chortyk. “We rely solely on donations to improve the welfare of animals in British Columbia.”

Got ws? ne Jerry Linowski
The Shuswap Photo Arts invites you to a digital slide show presentation set to music on four different areas of the world - France, China, a cruise from San Diego to Peru, and Australia. This takes place on Sunday, April 7, beginning at 2 p.m. at the Salmar Classic Theatre, 360 Alexander St. NE, Salmon Arm. Henry and Teri Schnell lived in France for several years. Teri will give you a glimpse into some of the lesser-known picturesque French scenes. Although Paris is the most visited city in the world, there are many other parts to explore, such as Carcasonne, Colonges la Rouge, and even places close to Paris as the fascinating village of the Hameau de la Reine. Martin and Myrtle Kyllo have travelled to China several times in recent years. Their show, Yunan 2012, records a visit to the south west of Yunan province in China during the Chinese New Year. It includes photos of two tribal groups on their home ground and the Red Earth country as well as several cities and an historical village still following traditional agricultural practices.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Jazz Fest kicks off with Toronto trio The Jazz Club of Salmon Arm is extremely pleased to kick off its Mini-Fest with the Eric St-Laurent Trio from Toronto. The trio consists of Eric on electric guitar, along with percussionist Michel DeQuevedo, and bassist Jordan O’Connor. The show takes place Thursday, April 4, 7:00 p.m. at the Anglican Church, 170 Shuswap St. Last year this group was a real hit with the crowd, as all the three musicians are extremely talented, with an excellent connection with the people, as well as good humour. They created a
special energy in the room which heightened the enjoyment. 2012 was a highlight year for this group. Its members embarked for the first time on an international tour with stops across Canada, Germany and Holland. Clearly benefiting from the road experience, their new album Dale (from the Spanish “Move it!”) certainly packs a punch. They have to be seen to be believed, so check them out! Check their website www. ericst-laurent.com Suggested donation is $15.00.
Kalamalka Press offers poetry-prose award
Canadian writers in the early stage of their career are being invited to submit their work for the Kalamalka Press second annual John Lent Poetry-Prose Award. “We’re looking for chapbook-length works of poetry, short fictions or hybrids thereof,” said contest coordinator Kevin McPherson, who is Editor-inChief of Kalamalka Press and an English professor at Okanagan College.
McPherson described early stage writers as those who have not published more than two fulllength books. Last year, the inaugural award went to Winnipeg writer Ariel Gordon, who was the 2010 recipient of the John Hirsch Award for Most Promising Manitoba Writer. Her submission How to Make a Collage was selected from 36 manuscripts. Entry fee is $10, and writers can
enter as many times as they wish between now and the May 1, 2013 deadline. The winner will receive a $100 honorarium, and have their work published in a limited finepress edition by Kalamalka Press. Kalamalka Press launched the prize in honour of its co-founder and retired Okanagan College Regional Dean and English professor John Lent. For more information, visit www.kalamalkapress.com.

Game-changing plants
Plants might start out as leafy things growing in the earth, but they can come into our lives in unexpected ways. And believe it or not, some have even played an exciting role in history. The ten plants in local author Gillian Richardson’s new book are the source of profound changes in the world, both good and bad. Through vibrant illustrations and astonishing facts, you’ll discover that without them, life today would be vastly different. Find out how countries went to war over pepper; how a grass called papyrus made it possible to share knowledge through writing; and how
cotton improved the livelihoods of a few, but caused unthinkable suffering for many. Publishers Weekly deems it “…an intriguing and well-designed study of the ways plants have helped start wars, cure diseases, and advance technology.” The book is aimed at a younger audience; ages 9–12 or grades 4–7. Join Ms. Richardson on Saturday, April 20th for her book launch at Bookingham Palace in Piccadilly Mall. From 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. she will be on hand to discuss her book and sign copies.

those years, the Armstrong Pea Growers plant shipped cases of dried peas worldwide. Many boxes (and bags) were auctioned off at the dinner, finally, with moans and groans—“No more peas please.” The halls remain. The Armstrong club, with its own facility. The Enderby club, again, acquiring new members. Salmon Arm’s DND drill hall saw generations of cadets and Rocky Mountain Rangers pass though its doors. It, too, is now used by the Salvation Army. As for the Salmon Arm Fish and Game club, for many years, it’s had its own trap/rifle/(black powder)/pistol/ archery range, with an excellent

Regarding future mines, like Ajax, just outside Kamloops), Harper Mountain, Ruddick Creek, (40 sq. kilometers), and Upper Adams. Extensive logging is going on (clear cuts to 100 acres) in the Shuswap/Adams areas as well, as demand for our lumber increases. There are also issues related to cutbacks of Ministry of Environment staff, for our forests/ fish/game resources; as well as shrinking habitats. But, like old times, and on a brighter note, some towns may have lost their drill halls, but Army cadets from across the province have one again completed four days of competitive shooting at our ranges, for a chance to go to Ottawa; and finalists, to Beasley, England. Canadian Rangers will also be coming back for a week campout, and rifle skills competitions. As well as regular member activities, the R.C.M.P and Fishery officers qualify in shooting each spring. The annual black powder, rendezvous/campout/shoot will be held on the May long weekend. The archery club will hold the BC 3D championship shoot June 22-23. Archers from across BC to Vancouver Island have registered to shoot. Back to the Rocky Mountain
Rangers... Some mortar rounds may still lay buried on the Glenemma ranges; spent blank .303 brass laying tarnished by the seasons of the sun. But memories remain, of the camaraderie and 25-cents-a-bottle beer at the upstairs mess, after the echoes of the drill sergeant’s voice have faded among the rafters!
Here and there in the Shuswap
As the stars shone bright and cold above Barriere’s fairgrounds hall last Saturday evening, events were heating up inside. It was the local fish and game club’s 3rd annual game dinner, silent auction, and dance. The hall was packed, as folks sat down to a wonderful assortment of dishes of game, fish, and domestic fare. The silent auction had a great selection of prizes to be won. Vern Caves and the Fenderbenders Band had most folks up out of their chairs, cuttin’ a mean rug. The next day, we tried our luck for big rainbows at the mouth of the Barriere River (exempt from closure). Folks up the North Thompson know how to have a great time! Next game dinner/ auction/awards will be held by the Monte Lake Outdoor Life Club, on Saturday, April 6th. Some tickets could be available at Falkland/Monte Lake General Store.

FEATURE OF THE WEEK Would you like your pet to relax in a home environment while you are away? Whether visiting your home, or taking care of your dog right in our own home, Cozy Critter Care has you covered. We also offer dog walking, pet taxi and pet waste removal needs. Cozy Critter Care is licensed and insured for your peace of mind. We’ve owned lots of furry buddies of our own, worked at a vet’s and volunteered for the SPCA. Dogs staying right in our own home enjoy going for forest walks out our back gate, or just taking it easy in our backyard or home. They literally become members of our family. Your pets that would rather stay in their own environment appreciate our drop-in visits to your home. We check your house, too. Unfortunately, we cannot stay overnight in your home or look after any animal with a hoof (sorry, no experience there!). We can walk your dog or clean up your yard so you can do other things. One-time, scheduled or last minute walks are also available. No matter what your pet’s needs are, Cozy Critter’s focus is on individual care, love and attention.
