The coldest night After a hugely successful first year, the Coldest Night of the Year is coming back to Salmon Arm to raise funds for the hungry, homeless, and hurting in our region. The 5 and 10 km walks take place Saturday, February 23rd in 39 cities across Canada and organizers expect close to 7000 walkers, with pledges of more than a million dollars to help organizations serving the hungry, homeless and hurting across the country. Funds raised in Salmon Arm will go towards the Salvation Army Lighthouse Shelter and Food Bank and the Second Harvest Food Bank. Registration for the walk beings at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 23rd at the First United Church on Okanagan Ave, just behind City Hall. Following the walk there is a light meal at the Seniors’ Centre on 5th Ave. To register, donate or learn more about the walk, visit www.coldestnightoftheyear.org.

SEAS calls for SLIPP expansion
www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca
By Jim Cooperman According to the recent media coverage, the future for the Shuswap Lakes Integrated Planning Process looked uncertain. A change in management combined with questions about funding for the future did not inspire optimism about where the most important initiative for the Shuswap was heading. However, reports from the recent meeting of SLIPP directors have restored some level of confidence regarding
the award winning, innovative SLIPP program. “The public has long supported the need to protect our watershed,” explained Shuswap Environmental Action Society (SEAS) President, Jim Cooperman, “and they should be encouraged by the enthusiasm expressed by SLIPP directors about the need for continuing the initiative and further improving the programs.” Beginning in 2005, SEAS along with a number of other Shuswap environmental and stewardship organizations, advocated strongly for a cooperative governmental effort to address a growing number of concerns regarding declining water quality and a litany of negative impacts to the watershed and recreational values. In

June 2007, these groups formed a watershed alliance to press for action. They released a list of 48 recommendations to coincide with SLIPP’s first public consultation meetings. Now, six years later, SLIPP can be evaluated on how well it has acted upon these important recommendations. Top marks are deserved for how SLIPP has improved cooperation amongst all the levels of government and the three regional districts within the Shuswap watershed. As well, mapping has been completed and is available on a public website that provides clear direction for foreshore planning, as well as for the successful restoration efforts that have been underway. Although SLIPP has had to survive with minimal funding, it has managed to put the focus on the most critical need, water quality monitoring, which is now in its third year. However, one of the key recommendations made six years ago, to “create a permanent Basin Council or Board that includes representation from public interest groups to oversee and coordinate manage-
ment and research,” remains unfulfilled. “Although water monitoring is critically important,” stressed Cooperman, “it was never meant to be an end in itself.” “The most important effort still remains, and that is to take action to reduce the level of nutrients and pollutants entering the watershed. And that includes greywater from houseboats and private vessels, a important effort that has been delayed due to pressure from the houseboat industry.” “The Salmon and Shuswap Rivers are important, principal sources of phosphate input to the lake; excessive phosphate content is the main, well documented factor in downgrading the health of freshwater lakes. Much of this phosphate input is most likely from agricultural activity adjacent to these rivers, and has been long recognized. It needs to be tackled now, to ensure the continued integrity of the lake”, explained Hugh Tyson, a SEAS member. “We urge the SLIPP directors and particularly the new Chair, CSRD Area F (North Shuswap) director,

Ashwagandha, or Indian ginseng
Ashwagandha, or Withania somniferous, is otherwise known as Indian ginseng, and has been used in India for thousands of years. Traditionally, it has been used as an adaptogen herb, as an aphrodisiac, as an immune buster and in treating asthma. This herb has calming properties so it is useful for those suffering from stress and anxiety. This herb also has anti-ulcer properties. Ayurveda (alternative medicine native to India) recommends this herb for people who are recovering from long illnesses or surgeries. It also helps in reducing fatigue and to build up stamina and can be helpful for patients undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. In one study, two types of extract from ashwagandha were found to produce anti-tumour activity in mice. This herb also helps in increasing libido, sperm count and vigour. It has liver protective properties as well.
Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it has been used in ayurveda to treat rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis as a supportive treatment. Some research using leaf extract of this herb conducted on mice having Parkinson’s disease has shown beneficial effects. This herb is available at your local health food store, where more information on this herb may be available. The dosage depends on what it is used for, and may be available in combination with other herbs. In the event it causes drowsiness, it can be taken at night. According to ayurveda, Indian ginseng should be avoided when one has fever. It can interact with certain health condition and medication such as barbiturates and a few others. However, it is best to talk to a health care provider before taking it. In my family, it is common for us to take Ashwghanda with a little honey and water or warm milk for few days when we are recovering from illness.

Stress and back pain
We live in stressful times. A depressed economy crisis, job losses, financial insecurities, an uncertain future… these and other “real life” events can cause many people a lot of stress. And that stress is responsible for all types of health problems, including high blood pressure, strokes, insomnia and an increase in the number of people experiencing back and neck pain. Chronic stress (emotional, physical and chemical) can affect your nervous system’s ability to function correctly, leading to an increased risk for illness and pain. When you are under tremendous stress, your muscles get tense and tighten, especially the muscles in your neck and back. So what can you do about stress-related back pain? • Learn how to relax muscles through stretching. Take “stretch” breaks at work, walk around your building during your lunch break. Take a Pilates or Yoga class; implement a stretching routine into your daily schedule at home in the morning or before retiring to bed each night. • Exercise to release stress and endorphins, those “feel good” brain chemicals – brisk walking, cycling, swimming – anything that increases your heart rate and gets you moving is beneficial. It doesn’t have to be complicated, just move! • Eat healthy meals – avoid empty calories, sugary snacks and comfort foods that pack on the weight and offer little in terms of nutrition. • Write down your thoughts or talk to a professional counselor – getting the feelings out on paper or in person helps to relieve pent up emotions which contribute to stress. • Treat yourself to a massage to ease tense muscles – Salmon Arm is full of great massage therapists. • Learn to say “no” to anything that will further complicate your life, causing additional stress. Being able to say no on occasion; without guilt, is one of the secrets to longevity. • Get plenty of rest – it’s hard to deal with the stress that causes chronic back pain when you’re not well rested. And by all means, make sure you’re staying up to date with your chiropractic adjustments. Chiropractic care helps to “reset” the nervous system so you are better able to fight the negative effects of stress. We certainly see an increase in stress-related back pain as a result of these uncertain times. We want to help you feel healthy and pain free so you can deal with whatever comes your way.

MANY APPRECIATE SMARTCENTRES ARTICLES POINTING TO THE REASONS FOR THE DELAY
The January 18, 2013 Sidewalk Superintendent carried my opinion on the causes for the stall in the development of a shopping centre west of Salmon Arm by SmartCentres. It is archived at www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca and starts with “Why do readers of this paper shop in other cities?” I received many compliments. Samples: “I commend you on your Sidewalk Superintendent article about CASSSA and totally agree with you. Where are they now when they should be helping local businesses? They are the reason why we all are going out-of-town to shop. Thank you for courage to speak out. I hope you continue your weekly articles which I look forward to reading each and every week.” “Congratulations on the articles you wrote about
www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca
SmartCentres. I’m surprised you didn’t get any flak from the naysayers.” “Finally someone is printing what everyone is thinking!” “Congratulations. You’ve nailed Salmon Arm exactly the reason it is the way it is, because of all the groups and associations and the political element that’s steering Salmon Arm in the wrong direction.” “Good articles. Keep writing them.”
BIGSTEELBOX WILL MOVE CORPORATE FOLKS
The Siebenga family of Salmon Arm launched a successful company to move people with Big Steel Boxes. Recently the company took its boxes idea to a Toronto conference and trade show of the Human Resources Professionals Association. BigSteelBox has 16 full service locations across Canada. Staff showed professional recruiters and human resources managers how moving and storage for employees being relocated from one city to another can be done more conveniently and at lesser cost with its innovative container-based service. See many videos of the company on YouTube.
HUMUNGOUS BILL AT COSTCO
In mid-December a couple of my friends drove to Kelowna with a plan to shop for Christmas visitors. They had a list, but if you’ve shopped at Costco, you know that when you get there you are tempted to buy big jars of this and that, and many other things that are packaged in 12s, 24s, 50s, etc. Their cart was full to overflowing and they wouldn’t give the size of their bill.
AMERICAN FIRST LADY SETS HAIR STYLES
Michelle Obama appeared at her husband’s recent inauguration wearing bangs. I plan to let my bangs grow down to my eyes, like hers. I’m glad she no longer has her hair long and covering half of one eye. So many women had that hairstyle.
VERNON LOOKS TO LICENCING ILLEGAL SUITES
Vernon City Council adopted seven recommendations from the Secondary Suite Workshop of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee that are designed to assist in dealing with the strongly identified need for affordable rentals. Some of the seven items include a staff review of the illegal suite enforcement process; implementation of a policy to enable and encourage all new detached single family dwelling construction to include the provision for the future installation of a secondary suite; and a simplified and streamlined process for secondary suites, including reduced costs and requirements. (From Vernon city’s website, Jan. 24, 2013.)
HOW DID I REVERSE MY NEED FOR GLASSES?
I believe that eating mainly organic fruits, vegetables and meats has helped retain my good health and corrected my eyesight. Also, I make smoothies out of raw fruits and vegetables. No protein powders or powdered greens. I asked my friend Google for information and found this program: “Improve Eyesight, Reverse Vision Loss, Correct Astigmatism. In less than eight weeks, you could be reading or driving without your glasses (for only 20-minutes a day) or you could painlessly reverse your vision problems. Order a program in a book and a newsletter.”
Mamie Eisenhower, on left, was the first lady in the US from 1953 to 1961. I copied her short bangs that you can see on my picture from 1957 when I was in the first year of nurse’s training in Yorkton, Sask.
BANGS MAY REPLACE THE NEED TO SWEEP HAIR
If a woman sweeps hair off her face, it can be seen as a sexual move. I find it distracting when many women announcers, interviewers, and women on cooking shows sweep the hair to the side of their face and try to tuck it behind an ear, but it doesn’t stay long. The most irritating to me is Suze Orman who has a financial help program called The Suze Orman Show from 9 to 10 p.m. every Saturday on CNBC.

Lack of respect in parliament
When I worked for the Montreal Star I had access to Hansard - proceedings of House of Commons and I had to say how horrified I was to witness the lack of respect between members of parliament of both parties. My first reaction was that these individuals are responsible for governing our country and can’t even speak civilly to each other. Ms. Turmel and some other individual whose name I forget have decided that it is time there was more respect shown to each other on the floor. After years of rudeness I doubt very much that they can change their attitude. The MP’s are not allowed to use foul language (thank goodness) but their lack of respect can be shown in other ways. When I first started to read Hansard my first thought was how can they get any meaningful
legislation passed when they are so focussed on one-up-manship in the insult department. These members are intelligent, well educated and yet couldn’t put two sentences together without an insult. One sure way of reducing the amount of useless dialogue would be to put the proceedings in the National newspapers (exclude names) and let Joe Public see what is being passed as intelligent dialogue by the men and women we elect. The worst part is the amount of time that is spent talking useless language when it should be spent solving the problems of our nation. Good luck Ms. Turmel and partner with your desire to change proceedings on the floor to a dialogue that I wouldn’t be ashamed that my grandchildren would hear. Bruce Vandergucht, Falkland

Not all seniors can drive to shop
Good for you, Sally! At last someone to say it like it is in regard to the shopping centre we have yet to get. So many people have spoken to me in passing that there’s no place to get the small needed items. Not all seniors are able to travel to Vernon or Kamloops. I’m one of the lucky ones;
I have family in Kamloops and can stay and visit. I think the people that are opposed to progress are usually the ones that have nothing better to do than protest something. Do some volunteering. It’s all good! P. Rempel, Salmon Arm

By Shelley Corbin There was some good news for the 28 attendees at the January 28th meeting on Smart Meters (SM). On January 23rd, Energy Minister Rich Coleman advised Surrey/White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg that homeowners who had not yet had SMs installed would not be forced to do so. Also discussed was the inadequacy of Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 which addresses neither the nonthermal effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) nor the cumulative effects of exposure to the proliferation of wireless technologies such as Smart Meters, wi-fi routers in schools, cordless phones, cell phones, microwave ovens, baby monitors, wireless security systems, and cell towers (like the new ones near Tim Hortons Hilltop, the Piccaddilly Mall and proposed for Canoe and other areas.) Various speakers described different measures individuals could take to continue to say no to SMs, and ways that those who, unwillingly, had SMs installed could work towards possibly having same removed. These ways include an

and a guitar is leaning against a book shelf. The girls are graduating this year, and like most grads, that comes with a mixture of emotions. “I’m excited to be starting the next part of my life but I’m also really scared for that transition– being away from my parents and being at university. I’m kind of terrified,” says Alyssa with a laugh. She’s not sure if she will attend the University of Victoria (UVic) or the University of British Columbia Okanagan Campus (UBCO). She plans on going into the medical profession. “I’m really excited,” says Hannah. “I’m sad to see my school years come to a close but
Shelby says she is also terrified about her life changing after graduation. “I stress about everything. My life is my friends, my activities and my community. I’m scared to leave that comfortable bubble.” She plans to follow in her father’s footsteps to become a psychiatric nurse. She’s applied for the winter semester which begins in January 2014. Currently she works at Sprockets Cafe in Sorrento. What is a little unusual is that none of the girls are too excited

I’m excited to see what comes next.” Hannah trains horses and she plans on saving money to get her horse trainer certification. “I guess personally I’m mostly scared,” says Joelle. “I’ve mostly been at this school for 13 years and it’s going to be a big difference. I plan to go to YWAM [Youth with a Mission] – a Bible school, a Disciple Training School. You usually go to third world countries. I’m going to the medical and dental one; I’d like to be a dentist in the future but who knows? Life throws things at you.” Natajsha says she’s excited and nervous as well. “I’m also scared for that full life experience. It’s pretty sheltered here,” she says laughing. She plans on going to UBCO to study kinesiology. “I get to live with my grandparents for free.” “I’m excited to be ending,” says Jubilee. “I’ve been here 13 years. I plan to go to Kona, Hawaii for YWAM to study ‘photogeneX.’” [This program is geared to ‘media advocacy’ learning photography/communication to equip students to expose and stand against injustice and to ‘voice the cause for the voiceless.’] “After that,” Jubilee adds, “I plan to go into mechanics and automotive service. I love working with cars and working on them. I spent two grand on fixing mine. I realized mechanics make a lot of money.”
about what they’re going to wear for graduation. “It might just be something out of my closet,” says Alyssa. “The only thought I’ve put into it is what will match my horse’s halter,” says Hannah. “I have two dresses – almost. I got one from the thrift store,” says Joelle, who adds she has to do some work to that one to make it fit a little better. “And I have a really cheap one –$20 – that I can use.” Natajsha is the only one who already has a dress. “It’s blue and it’s really simple. It’s not sparkly, just blue. It has a flower on it.” “I have a type picked out,” says Jubilee. “I want something exotically weird. I haven’t got it yet – it’s going to be bright.” “I want something simple,” says Shelby. “I really don’t want to spend a ton of money. I want to use it again. Something simple but elegant; a light baby yellow or turquoise. No big poufs.” As they reflect on their happy school memories, it is pretty much unanimous that the school trips win out. There were sports trips where they got to stay in hotels and spiritual retreats at the Gardom Lake Bible Camp. “I have so many memories,” says Shelby. “I love our trips, any trips. Walking to the skating rink or driving to Gardom Lake. We did retreats. I love the bonding experiences with my friends.” Hannah adds that some of her ordinary days in the classroom
are among her happiest memories. “In Comparative Civilization class, our group was so small, nine or ten people. We had a good time. The nice thing about Kings is that you get to know people well – maybe too well sometimes,” she adds, laughing. Shelby works at Starbucks and some days she would bring some coffee or goodies in for the class. “I love Kings,” says Alyssa who started at Kings in grade seven. “Over the years you just grow as a family. The teachers are like aunts and uncles. There’s so much loving and caring.” For some of the girls, graduation isn’t so much on their minds as they have trips coming up during spring break. Alyssa and Natajsha are going to Liberia where they will be helping on different projects like soccer camps and helping out at a woman’s centre. “We’re going over there and serving people,” says Natajsha, who adds that she expects the experience will change her as well. Shelby will be going on a mission trip to San Quintin. It will be her fifth trip. Over the years she’s helped with various projects, building a woman’s shelter, a thrift shop, a church and gardens. This year the funds that were raised will give the people of San Quintin the equipment to take the salt out of their water. Shelby is happy to be part of a project that will mean so much to the local residents. “They’ve had to buy water from town. They spend a ton of money.” They will also put up a house for a family while they’re down there. As they discuss some of the biggest differences about leaving Kings and going to university, they agree that going from a Christian environment to a nonChristian one will be a challenge. “We’re not different, except that we’re trying to change, trying to be the example Jesus set for us and we have that hope and motivation,” says Alyssa. They all agree their school years at Kings have been a time of happiness where they appreciated the close family environment. Alyssa succinctly sums up what the girls express: “Thanks to all the teachers who have taken the time to care for us and to mentor us.”

2013 tax tips
As the days and weeks fly by in 2013, we are slowly creeping toward everyone’s favourite time of year. No, I am not talking about the coming of spring; it’s “Tax Time.” The time of year you get to see how much of your hard earned money gets sent to Ottawa and Victoria to support all those who efficiently run services we take for granted each and every day. For the average bean counter, it’s the time of year your kids say goodnight to your picture over the fireplace. I can’t wait! As you all know, Mall Arkey has long promoted the idea of keeping as much of this hard-earned money in your jeans, not the government’s. For the record, ol’ Mall Arkey believes in the idea of a simplified tax system that has less tax credits and simply a lower rate. Unfortunately, that concept hasn’t gained any traction with our friends out East. So this leaves us with no choice, but to try and find as many ways we can to avoid taxes. (Legally of course!) So here a handful of tax credits/strategies we want to ensure you are taking advantage of. Children’s Fitness Tax Credit: This credit has been around since 2007 and like the Art Credit below, allows you to claim up to $500 in eligible expenses in physical activity programs for a credit of 15% up to the maximum of $75. Children’s Art Tax Credit: Much like the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit, you can save up to $75 for eligible expenses paid for registering your children in certain artistic or cultural activities. Essentially you can claim up to $500 in eligible expenses and receive a 15% credit or $75. Volunteer Firefighters Tax Credit: Volunteer Firefighters may be able to receive a tax credit of up to $450 (15% of $3,000) if they’re a volunteer firefighter during the year and completed at least 200 hours of eligible volunteer firefighting services with one or more fire departments in the year. Pension splitting: Like the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit, pension income splitting has been around since 2007. Everyone should be aware of it by now, but it is such a good thing we want to ensure everyone eligible is claiming it. For couples that have large differences in taxable income levels between spouses; pension splitting can save a significant amount of tax because you are allowed to split up to 50% of eligible pension income. Remember, splitting the full 50% isn’t necessarily the best option in every case as this could also affect how much you can claim for medical expenses etc. You may have to play around with the numbers to come up with the optimum amount or use tax software that has these features built into it. So there you have it; some free tax advice from Mall Arkey Junior. I would accept a gratuity except I would then have to include that income on my tax return!

Rough & tough logging and pizza
www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca
(This column is dedicated to the many fallers out there that worked in the bush over time. Only they can relate many good stories, and sometimes deadly accidents, that happened over the years). They say once a logger, always a logger; and it couldn’t be more meaningful, especially if you were one in Revelstoke in the mid to late 1960’s, to the completion of the Mica Dam in 1973. This was when logging/ clearing for the dam was in progress. There is just something about the roar of skidders dragging in big timber to the landing; or the high-pitched whine of chainsaws high above, as fallers drop big spruce and cedar. So, recently, while in a local feed/hardware supply business, the chap ahead of me was buying a couple of scoop shovels. In conversation, he said it was for shovelers to dig snow out around the trees so the fallers could do their job. It brought back a flood of memories of logging days in Revelstoke, and of falling big timber on snowshoes in winter, packing a 20-lb saw, and gas/oil jugs, with a pouch full of wedges, and a faller’s axe. Deep snow required digging down to about 24 inches on five trees, then falling five, and on to the next group. On steep slopes, big spruce and balsam were worse, as their branches grew low and to the sunny side. For those who don’t know, there are two kinds of wells – one with water in it; the other, in deep snow, around the base of a tree, with a girth of five feet, 200 feet tall, and weighing tons. This creates an imminent
danger to a faller if he doesn’t properly dig, then provide an escape route for himself, and/or remove the lower branches. Far from Revelstoke, there is still a faller’s axe laying in the dirt and moss, somewhere up the West Gorge past Malakwa; left there after a giant cedar I was falling hooked up onto another tree. As I did the back-cut on the second, one started to fall back, the other downhill. I dove aside as the cedar thundered down, smashing the idling chainsaw, gas and oil jugs to smithereens. At the time, there were two great local fallers–John Graham and Pat Rolston–who were quick as cats, with years of savvy when falling in the bush. They, like I, eyeballed each tree before falling it, noting any hung-up dead limbs high above, known as widowmakers. If there were conchs (brown rubbery fungal growths), indicating a waterlogged or punky tree, you whacked the trunk with your axe to check for soundness. Limbs on all trees grow heavy to the west or sunny side. Consideration was given to falling across or up the slope of a hill, or turning the tree on the stump, trying to lay the fallen timber butt first so skidders could pull the wood easier. In falling, the Sorenson undercut is used, cutting upwards after the initial cut. This saves butt wood, and makes the cut even across the butt of the tree being felled. Jump falling on very steep terrain/rock bluffs requires a stick or limb placed tight in the undercut. The weight of the falling tree will push it forward. We could jump fall a tree, at times crashing it
shuswapoutdoors by Hank Shelley downhill many metres. A deadly ‘barber chair’ results when a falling tree jumps back from the stump, if not cut properly, crushing or pinning you to the ground. On the humorous side, while driving up our road to the landing, one cold snowy morning, we saw a cow moose bedded under the top end of a big spruce hanging over the edge of the landing. “Stop de truck, Kenny Graham, I’s gonna ride de moose.” Frenchie ran up the road, climbed the tree, and as the cow got up, jumped on her back. She bolted across the landing, then locked up all fours. Poor Frenchie, he took off headfirst over her head. Shaking the snow and sawdust off, he received a round of applause as we arrived! Coming from Quebec, he’d fallen black spruce, but longed to fall one of our big cedars, only from the inside out. He chose a huge hollow 200-foottall cedar, cutting a large window in the side. Climbing in, he began to saw. When the smoke and sawdust cleared, and the tree went down, there stood Frenchie, proud as punch! Sadly, he was killed a few days later by a falling tree. Driving in from the bush, we always stopped at Southside Market on a Wednesday night for a couple of pizza mixes, and all the ham, cheese, and tomatoes to go; so Donna, Kenny’s wife, could do us up the bestest pizza in the whole wide world! Then afterwards,
heading to the bunk house to clean and sharpen the chainsaw, and then hit the sack, I’d dream of the bush, and the caribou following in the trees to the landing. The roar of skidders; Donna; those pizzas; laughter, and beer; all sadly missed, as she passed away a few seasons ago. Also looking down on us with a smile is Ivan Graham, my mentor and boss, who passed on January 12th, 2011; sadly missed by all. Logging has changed a great deal since those days, with the advent of the faller, buncher, and other newer equipment. But it’s hard to erase the wonderful memories of rough and tough logging, and pizza at Revelstoke!

EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY Check your car’s air filter frequently. According to studies, 25% of vehicles on the road are losing fuel efficiency due solely to a dirty air filter. The health of an air filter is not purely related to the amount of driving time on it. Road and atmospheric conditions affect the filters longevity, and they are generally regarded as a part that pays for itself and then some, in better fuel efficiency.

Youngster performs selfless act
A12 Friday, February 8, 2013 Lakeshore News
Contributed by Gloria Makey Eleven-year-old Talon Copeland, a young member of the Spiritualist Church of Salmon Arm, recognized the plight of the homeless over the winter and was moved to make a difference. Initially, his hope was to buy blankets and distribute them around the Salmon Arm area but it was deemed too daunting. He decided that he would create a poster, approach our congregation and ask people to donate to what he rightly designated a “worthy cause.” He had a specific amount in mind for the total donation and when the drive fell a little short, the Church Board voted to match his total and the sum of $366.00 was raised. Knowing of the excel-
lent work done for the homeless by the Salvation Army, he chose to give the money to them. Such a selfless act in one so young should not go unrecognized. This generous and compassionate young man reminds us that there is much hope for our future generations. Below: Talon presents a cheque to Captain Glen Fraser of the Salvation Army.

Another record-breaking Wendy’s DreamLift Day
Friday, February 8, 2013 Lakeshore News A13
www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca
The 19th Annual Wendy’s DreamLift Day held on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 raised $115,027.86 from this one-day event. Over the last nineteen years, Wendy’s DreamLift Day has now raised an accumulative total of over $1,224,384.85. The restaurants were assisted by volunteers from all walks of life. They added to the fun of the day by changing from their usual jobs in their communities to something very different: preparing hamburgers and salads, making fries, cleaning trays and tables and all sorts of other behindthe-scenes tasks that helped make the day such a great success. The total includes the gross profits, wages and
salaries from all the staff, management and ownership of the nine Wendy’s Restaurants in Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kelowna, West Kelowna and Penticton. The success of Wendy’s DreamLift Day would not be possible without the generous support from the community, Wendy’s customers, media, service/sports organizations, Wendy’s staff, management, owners and alumni. A special thank you to the Orange County Sheriffs who helped make this such a special day: Lieutenant Tom Behrens, Captain Tim Moy, Captain Bill Griffin, Captain Bob Peterson, Captain Mike Toledo and Marilyn
Spay or neuter your pet, says BC SPCA
February is Spay/Neuter Awareness Month and the BC SPCA is calling on all British Columbians to take action to help end the tragedy of pet overpopulation in their community. “The terrible reality is that there are still many more animals born in our province every year than there are homes for,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “The SPCA and other rescue groups find homes for thousands of these abandoned or surrendered animals every year, but we know that there are so many more who suffer and die after being abandoned by their guardians. It is heartbreaking because this is a completely preventable problem.” The BC SPCA is calling on animals lovers to take at least one action step in February to help save an animal’s life. Ideas include: 1. Spay or stay. Donate the cost of a cat spay ($110) through the BC SPCA’s online Pawsitive Gifts site (spca.bc.ca/support). If you can’t donate the full cost of a cat spay, make an online gift of a cat stay ($12) and your donation can be used towards the cost of sterilizing a cat; 2. Take action. Send a letter to the mayor and council in your community requesting a low-cost spay/neuter fund for your area or volunteer to assist with a presentation to council (spca.bc.ca/spayneuter); 3. Volunteer. Volunteer to transport animals to and from their spay/neuter appointments or foster an animal who needs spay/neuter surgery aftercare. To find out more, contact your local SPCA branch or visit the volunteer section of the BC SPCA website (spca.bc.ca). “If everyone who loves animals takes one action step this month it will make a life-saving difference and will bring us closer to ending the tragedy of pet overpopulation in our province,” says Chortyk. She also urged any pet guardian who has not already had their animal sterilized to make a spay/neuter appointment with their veterinarian this month. “Not only does this help prevent unwanted litters being born, but spaying and neutering also has numerous health and welfare benefits for your pet.” The BC SPCA spends nearly $2 million each year on low-cost spay/neuter programs in communities across B.C. and ensures that every dog, cat and rabbit adopted from an SPCA shelter is sterilized prior to adoption. For more information, visit spca.bc.ca/spay-neuter.

That’s because price is often no matter when it comes to impressing your

Couples browsing through Valentine’s Day menus may want to be selective when choosing their menu options. Certain foods are thought to be aphrodisiacs, which can incite feelings of love and passion later on in the evening. Some of these foods include:

Antiquity almonds were also once regarded as fertility symbols. • Asparagus: Going back to the 17th century, asparagus was believed to stir up lust in women and men.

Valentine’s Day and chocolate have been linked for some time now, but there really hasn’t been any definitive explanation for just why the delicious confection and the day of love seem to go hand in hand. A significant percentage of chocolate consumption is enjoyed around Valentine’s Day. The reason people are known to enjoy and crave chocolate may be connected to its chemical components. Chocolate has been known to affect mood in many ways. It contains 380 known chemicals, triggering a host of responses in the brain. Chocolate can trigger the production of opioids, which are

Chocolate can also increase blood pressure and blood-sugar levels, attributing to feelings of alertness. The caffeine in chocolate also acts as a stimulant. However, the reason chocolate may be snatched up come Valentine’s Day is that chocolate appears to contain phenylalanine, the same chemical that is produced by the brain when people fall in love. Doctors think that eating chocolate creates a temporary “love high.” For those gifting chocolate for Valentine’s Day, consider dark chocolate, which is also high in antioxidants. This chocolate is among the healthier varieties in which to indulge.

chemicals, such as t h o s e found in opium, t h a t produce a feeling of well-being (euphor i a ) . Eating chocolate then may make a person feel better, which is why chocolate is often a turn-to comfort snack. Chocolate also may work like THC, the chemical components in marijuana, extending the feeling of being “high” or well-being.
methods. Eventually the candy hearts became a coveted Valentine’s Day tradition.
Sweethearts® have featured different sayings throughout the years, and starting in the 1990’s began higher-tech phrases, such as “Fax Me,” and “E-mail Me.” In 2009, the company asked the public to tell how they express feelings of affection. The 2010 series of Sweethearts® featured customer-provided sayings and bright, bold colors. The candies also were revamped to be softer and more enjoyable to eat. The entire production of Sweethearts® is available for a limited time and usually sells out in a matter of weeks. Those who love the candies better act fast to secure their sweets for this season.

Did you know?
“Love” is a powerful word that describes one of the most potent human emotions. The word is believed to have evolved from the Proto-IndoEuropean’s word “leubh,” which described care and desire nearly five thousand years ago. The word was incorporated into Old English as “lufu,” a noun meaning “deep affection” and a verb “lufian” meaning “to be very fond of.”

Valentine’s customs then and now formed marriages for young lovers in secret. It is this which may have propelled Valentine’s Day to be more about love than religious obligation.
Valentine’s Day is a holiday during February that commemorates love a n d romance and also the patron Saint Valentine. The history of St. Valentine is shrouded somewhat in mystery, and there are beliefs that many different people went by the name St. Valentine. One such individual was a holy priest who served in Rome, Italy. Some historians surmise that he was jailed for defiance during the reign of Claudius II, sentenced to death, and became a religious martyr. Pope Gelasius marked February14 as a celebration in honor of his martyrdom in 496 AD. Today, the Catholic church recognizes at least three different martyred saints named Valentine or Valentius. So how did St. Valentine’s Day transform from a religious holiday into one far more secular? During the third century in Rome, Claudius II decided that single men served better as soldiers if they were single and had no attachments at home in the way of a wife and family. Thusly, he outlawed marriage. St. Valentine didn’t agree with the views and reportedly per-

Another legend says that Valentine himself authored the first Valentine card. It has been rumored he fell in love with a woman -- the jailer’s daughter -- while in prison and sent her a letter. He signed it, “from your Valentine.” No matter the origins of the holiday, today St. Valentine’s Day has become a day where love is celebrated. Lovers send each other cards and tokens of their affections. It is customary to go out for dinner and send flowers. Chocolates and roses seem to go hand-in-hand with Valentine’s Day events. Although certain customs have become commonplace, some customs of Valentine’s Day have fallen by the wayside. One such custom is the “drawing of names” that took place in the 18th century. Names of men and women (equal numbers of each) were placed into two different containers. A lottery of sorts took place where one man’s name was drawn and matched with a woman’s name. The people called were called “Valentines,” and the pairing was considered a good omen of these couples marrying later on.

Local skiers sweep BC Cup The final BC Cup cross-country ski race sponsored by Teck was hosted by the Caledonia Nordic Club in Prince George on February 2 and 3. Saturday’s race was Individual Classic Technique and Sunday was a relay event. There were 41 representatives from Larch Hills at the race and once again the club saw many top finishes. On Saturday’s classic race, Sophia Van Varseveld placed first in the Pee Wee Girls 1 category, while Julianne Moore took first in the Pee Wee Girls 2 category. Eric Moore placed first in the Pee Wee Boys 1 category, and Trond May placed first in the Pee Wee Boys 2 category. Keeya Corbett took first place in the Bantam Girls 2 category, and Stephen Moore placed first in the Bantam Boys 1 category, while Thomas Hardy placed first in the 7.5 km Junior Boys 2 category. In the Men’s Master 10 km category, Brian May earned a first place finish, while Abbigail May took first place in the 7.5 km Women’s Master category. The relay event held Sunday was action packed, with the Larch Hills teams doing very well. For a complete list of race results, visit http://new.zone4.ca. This race counted towards the overall aggregate for the BC Cup Series. Aggregate Awards were pro-
vided to the first three finishers for each year of birth from the Pee Wee category to the Masters 70+ category. Winners were determined from the points from the competitor’s three best races. Julianne Moore took first in the 2004 Pee Wee Girls category, Sophia Van Varseveld took first in the Pee Wee Girls 2003 category, and Trond May took first in the Pee Wee Boys 2003 category. Keeya Corbett took first in the Bantam 2002 Girls category, and Stephen Moore was first in the Bantam Boys 2002 category. Andrew Nash placed first in the Juvenile Boys 1998 category, and John Connor placed first in the Junior Boys 1996 category. Thomas Hardy placed first in the Junior Boys 1995 Category. This weekend also awarded the Club Championship Award, which is presented to the club that earned the most points overall in the series. The Larch Hills Nordics were looking to make this year the third in a row for first place, but the host club Caledonia Nordics earned that right this year, with Larch Hills grabbing second place.

A dental hygiene gift from the heart
By Liz-Ann Munro Lamarre, BSc., RDH (365 day rule exempt), Madam President of the Smile People Dental Hygiene Inc. For the 5th year now, independent dental hygiene practitioners (IDHPs) in Canada have been holding the Gift From The Heart event: a day of no-cost dental hygiene services for those who cannot afford to pay for this important piece of health care. It is always held on a Saturday near Valentine’s Day; this year’s event will be on Saturday, February 9th. Gift From The Heart was started by Bev Woods, who is an independent dental hygienist from Ontario. A look at the GFTH website will show an impressive list of participating independent dental hygiene offices. This is an important and relatively new event. In BC, as IDHPs we have been severely limited from accessing those members of the public who need our help most –the ones who have barriers to getting treatment in a dental office - by a 17 year-old “365 day rule.” This old regulation prevents most
hygienists from working on anyone who has not had a dental exam, from a dentist licensed in BC, within the past 365 days. I was the first IDHP to sign on to the event in BC, and my clinic will be doing it for the 4th time this year. As of this past July, a few dental hygienists and I have become exempt from the 365 day rule and can treat all people regardless of whether they have ever had a dental exam. This means that, for the first time ever in the history of BC, we can set up mobile clinics and go out to remote locations and populations to provide much needed preventive dental services. So this year I am starting The Smile Mission, a non-profit designed to fundraise so we can create a positive impact by providing access to oral health care out there. This is a big deal: It has been well established that oral disease is directly related to worse prognoses for diabetes, lung disease and other systemic diseases, as well as being linked to having low birth weight, premature babies. As IDHPs we encounter many
people whose needs are not being met by the regular dental offices. Many have been taking antibiotics and painkillers (relatively cheap, or free, through the medical system) for issues that are really dental in nature. They may medicate / self-medicate until they end up in the hospital, or worse. You can see the burden this adds to our medical system in doctor- and emergency time and cost. Millions every year go into children who are receiving dental care in hospitals under general anesthetic - the number is at a record high again – the most common reason for hospital day surgery in BC. Most of this it totally preventable. Research from Ontario has already shown that an increase in IDHPs fosters an increase in the public’s access to preventative dental care, which increases the public’s dental IQ, which in turn increases the public’s demand for dental services. For more information about the Gift from the Heart event, or to book an appointment with the Smile People, phone 250-8326692 or vist www.thesmilepeople.ca.

FRI. FEB. 8 VS. WEST KELOWNA VICTORIA GRIZZLIES WARRIORS 3X7 @ 7 PM @ 7 PM PRESENTS
By Peter Kociuba The L. Turner Contracting Salmon Arm SilverBacks Atom A Development team faced Kelowna at the pond on Saturday, skating away with a 5-2 win on home ice. Marino Bordin and Colby Feist combined for the Backs opening goal in the first period. Bordin finished with a sweet spin-o-rama backhand through the visiting netminder’s legs, after he and Feist cruised into the zone on a 2-on-1. With a delayed penalty on the way and the goalie skating to the bench, Feist put the Backs up by 2 after busting through the defense and getting in the clear. Feist’s second came in the second, as the Kelowna D had no counter for his speed. After pulling away from the nearest defender and going in 1-on-0, he slid the puck in on the backhand after sucking the goalie in with a forehand fake. Kelowna was able to sneak 2 past SilverBacks netminder Gabriel Muriels-Allaway, but that would be as close as they could get. Connor Kociuba’s point shot was blocked but the rebound fell right on Feist’s stick, who sniped the top corner for the hat trick. The Back’s sealed the deal with an empty netter with under a minute left to play in the game. The SilverBacks hit the road for a tournament this weekend.

By Tracey Kirkman The O’Snap Petite Ringette Team has had a great start to the New Year and heads off to the annual Kelowna Sweetheart Tournament on a 3 game winning streak. The team has put in a lot of hard work and have gelled together as a team. Emma Kirkman and Ewan Runciman lead the way with goals while Kassi Archambault and Ashley Blits have been strong on assists. Marissa Materi has unleashed her secret weapon – a powerful wrist shot – and has sent a few rings past unsuspecting goalies! Strong defensive play from Alexa Hadath, Josie Lentz and Jade Lutz have helped to shut teams down while hard work from our wingers, Hannah Patterson, Mikaela Curdyk, Mariah Mitchell and Kylynn Rosenberg has resulted in more offensive action and happy, smiling faces. If the Canucks want to put the whole Schneider / Luongo debate aside and want to consider young, upcoming talent ….. Megan Clark and Taylor Thomlinson are it! They have both been instrumental in ensuring that those close games stayed as wins by keeping the ring out of our goal. Great job! Not only does O’Snap have a great team, but they are supported by the most excited fans, parents and coaches. Thank you one and all. A special mention goes to Stacey Kirkman – the coaches and kids always know when you are in the house – thank you for the support, encouragement! Here’s to a great Sweetheart Tournament... Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh SNAP!!
Ring Robbers fall to Kelowna By Peter Kociuba
The Shuswap Ring Robbers Novice Ringette team welcomed Kelowna to the pond on Saturday, falling to the visitors by a score of 7-5. Chloe Latosky opened the scoring for Shuswap just over 6 minutes into the first, sliding the ring through the legs of the Kelowna netminder. Delaney Perry got the game back within reach with a pair in the first period, seeing Shuswap into the first intermission down by 2. The Robbers clawed back within 1 as Latosky potted her second in the second, but unfortunately for the home fans that was as close as they would come. Natasha Kociuba’s marker with 2 minutes left in the game came after a pair by Kelowna, sealing their victory. Shuswap travels to Kelowna for their annual SweetHeart tournament this weekend.
Fury wins 2 games
By Corey Saitz The Shuswap Fury Petite ringette team played the Kelowna Untouchables and defeated them by a score of 7-6. The Fury led after the first period by a score of 4-3 with two goals by Tori Keehn and singles to Stephanie Martin and Brooklyn Agricola. Jordyn Turner then finished off the Fury’s scoring by adding three straight goals in the second period. Stephanie Martin added two assists while Tori Keehn, Bethany Riley, Brooklyn Agricola, and Raya Zwicker added singles. The Fury then played Kelowna Black this past Sunday. The Fury edged the Black by a score of 4-3. Tori Keehn scored 2 goals with Stephanie Martin and Brooklyn Agricola picking up singles. Assist to Heidi-Leigh Boileau. Goaltender Tamara Brown played in net both games and made some tremendous saves to allow the Fury to continue their winning streak. The Fury have 15 wins and two losses this season.

AQUARIUS
Aquarius, clarify your needs and wants. Until you can delineate between these factors you may be spending unnecessarily, which is not what your budget needs.
PISCES
Pisces, it may take a few days for you to handle things, but don’t let that dissuade you from trying. Set your own timetable.
ARIES
Aries, be on your best behavior this week. Acquaintances both new and established will have their eyes on you, and it is essential that you make a good impression.
TAURUS
Taurus, although you may not be able to see into the future, you can plan for what may happen in the next few days. Now is the perfect time to check in with friends.
GEMINI
Gemini, get all of your work ducks in a row because you want to ensure you are up for the next promotion or pay increase. Now could be the time to make work your top priority.
CANCER
You may find that you have an easy time of reading people this week, Cancer. Use this trait to your advantage to find out how certain people feel about your new ideas.
LEO
Leo, don’t get too excited when things seem out of whack this week. Keep calm and find out how you can set things on the right course. Lead by example, and others will follow.
VIRGO
Virgo, try not to participate in any new activities this week. You are already overextended. Clear your to-do lists before you take on any other responsibilities.
LIBRA
Show others how good their lives can be if they just follow a little of your own advice and take cues from what you have done already, Libra. Expect a few converts.

They were married on July 5, 1954, and to this union were born Brenda, Richard, and Valerie. Edna loved the outdoors, photography, early mornings in her garden, and family get-togethers - all gifts of her heavenly Father. She was a ‘great sport’ – joining in family adventures such as wilderness backpacking, vacations, and cruises. She overcame immense challenges and even conquered her life-long fear of water by riding on a personal watercraft on the Shuswap Lake and tubing down the Enderby River. She and her little dog Tara were inseparable. In her latter years, progressive memory loss and then cancer took over her body, yet her indomitable spirit and humour remained, even blossomed, to the end. Edna passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, January 27, 2013. She was predeceased by son Richard, as well as her parents and several siblings. She is survived and lovingly remembered by her husband Vernon, daughters Brenda (Jack) Wagner of Richmond, BC, and Valerie (Brian) Krushel of Camrose, AB; 5 granddaughters, Brittani, Mikaela, Brianna, Jilisa, and Terrace; one great grandson, Jack; sister Lorraine and brothers, Floyd and Howard. The funeral service was held from The Shuswap Community Church in Salmon Arm, BC on Saturday afternoon, February 2, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. with Jack Wagner and Brian Krushel officiating. Musician was Diane Carlson. Interment was in Mt. Ida Cemetery, Salmon Arm. Memorial donations are gratefully accepted by the BC Cancer Foundation (www.bccancerfoundation. com), or the charity of one’s choice. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind. (Luke 10:27) Online condolences may be sent to Edna’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements were in the care of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm.

Laurette Frances Page Laurette Frances Page went to be with her Lord on January 30, 2013 in Salmon Arm, BC at the age of 85 years. Laurette was born February 23, 1927 in Regina, Sask. to mother Victoria Dykstra. She was the oldest of 3 children. Her growing up years were spent in Vancouver. In 1943 she met and married the love of her life, Albert Page and had 8 children. (2 boys, 6 girls) Laurette and Albert lived in Richmond until 1964 at which time they moved to Grandview Bench (Salmon Arm). It was here that they had their youngest child. Living on the 160 acre farm meant Laurette could do what she loved best, growing acres of vegetables like she had done in Richmond and was even given the opportunity to open her own fruit and vegetable stand. One thing that Laurette loved to do was sell, sell, sell. She was a very hard worker doing everything she could to help make ends meet. On top of all the farm work, being a mother etc., she, for many years, worked for the forestry planting trees. After moving off the farm and into town she started her own home-based business selling Watkins products, which she loved. She did this right up until the end. Laurette loved to socialize with her friends over a cup of coffee or tea and was very involved with her church, which was her family as well. Laurette had her share of difficult times with health issues etc. but was always positive and determined to carry on. She was an inspiration to all who knew her. Laurette was predeceased by her husband, Albert Page, daughter Lorna Horvat and son in law Tony Horvat, son Larry Page, son-in-law Bill Wilcox, sister Betty Nordlund, and brother Trueman Wilson. Laurette will be lovingly remembered by her son Wayne (fiancée Sandy) Page, daughters Muriel (Alan) Bowerman, Sandra (Mel) Sandaker, Wendy Wilcox, Sylvia (Rick) Graham, Ester (Larry) Arrowsmith as well as 15 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sat, February 9, 2013 at 2:00 pm at the Shuswap Community Church. Online condolences can be sent through Laurette’s Obituary at www.bowersfuneralsevice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowes funeral Service, Salmon Arm, BC

Smartphone app unveiled by Shuswap Conservative candidate THE ARTS
A30 Friday, February 8, 2013 Lakeshore News
Tom Birch, the BC Conservative candidate in Shuswap, recently announced a pilot project to revolutionize the way MLAs connect with their constituents. “After the last 20 years of scandals and betrayal of public trust, nearly half of B.C. voters do not bother voting at all,” Birch said at a news conference in Salmon Arm. “This is the legacy of the status quo parties.” To address the problem, Birch has introduced ‘Victoria In Your Hands,’ a smart phone app that provides for a two-way conversation between the voters and their legislative representative. “To restore confidence we
must do more than promise to be open and transparent, we must actually do it,” he explained. “This tool will allow me to push information about what I am doing for constituents directly into their hands. More importantly, it allows the voters to respond and tangibly hold me and the government to account.” Birch said that his app would allow B.C. voters to increase input into what is happening in Victoria. “’Victoria in Your Hands’ is proof that we are serious in taking our constituents to Victoria with us,” he explained. “It will create an ongoing conversation with our voters whereby we can
keep them informed and also poll the will of the voters at any time on any issue that they raise. “This will allow us to best represent them and will allow them to see exactly how we have done so.” Birch concluded by encouraging voters to challenge election candidates as to how they would partner with the people. “We are at the edge of a new era in democracy where technology has allowed us to connect as never before,” he said. “Candidates who will not use it to enter into a transparent partnership with their constituents should not be considered worthy of office.”
Lacrosse season begins soon
The 2013 lacrosse season is starting soon and Shuwap Minor Lacrosse wants to invite kids aged 4-12 years to come out and give it a try! The free drop-in sessions start on Tuesday, February 12th, 5:00-6:00 p.m. and run every Tuesday until the March break; with one more session after, on April 2nd. The sessions are held at the arena behind Safeway. The only equipment necessary for the drop-ins are gloves, a caged hel-
met, and if you have a stick, that would be great. There will be a few sticks available to borrow. Registration for the upcoming season will be held at the drop in, if your child wants to continue to play; and one can register up until March 1st. A birth certificate and Care Card are required. The season runs April–June; and the Peewee, Bantam and Midget teams have gone to Provincials for the last few years so their season
might run into July. The cost for the season for Mini Tykes (5-6 yr olds) is $105; Tykes (7-8 yr olds) is $115; Novice (9-10 yr olds) is $145; and Peewee (1112 yr olds) is $180. First-time players in Mini Tykes to Novice levels get half off the registration price. If you have any questions, please contact the Registrar Fawn at 250 833-1846 or Jackie at 250 833-0571.

Dharma Dolls will delight
Jazz Club of Salmon Arm is excited to bring “Dharma Dolls” to town. This event will be held at the SAGA Public Art Gallery on Thursday, Feb 14th at 7:00 p.m. Living one’s dharma means staying true to one’s essential character and being what one is “born to be.” Such is the way of the dynamic Dharma Dolls vocal trio; made up of Tanya Lipscomb, Melina Moore and Judy Rose, who together have discovered an untapped musical niche which has been delighting and astounding audiences with its unique sound, uninhibited stage presence and uncanny ability to share with and connect to its avid listener. Touted by the local media as “three women whose harmony when singing together is that of angels yet whose individual styles are as different as
chalk is from cheese hammers are from spoons and camels are from cats;” the Dharma Dolls regularly bring audiences to their feet with their combinations of talent and humorous good-natured interplay. They are supported by a prolific pianist Jim Leonard. The Dharma Dolls will bring you on a journey that is captivating and deeply entertaining. Experience for yourselves the allure of these three dazzling divas that have created quite a splash in the Okanagan with five past sold-out shows. Enjoy the combined musical styles to their world of opera, jazz, folk and original composition. It’s one unforgettable display of song, surprises and sass. Make this evening a memorable Valentine’s Day! Suggested minimum donation is $15.00
The Dharma Dolls are, from left: Judy Rose, Melina Moore and Tanya Lipscomb.
