SHUSWAP PIPES ‘N DRUMS

Since September, I have been going to the SASCU Downtown Activity Centre (right, top) to attend Salmon Arm Toastmasters’ Club weekly meetings.

Looking at the scheduled activity board outside the main office door, I became aware that this building serves a considerable number of organizations and people in the community. I wanted to learn more about the Downtown Activity Centre and the Association that operates it, so I dropped by to see Sandi Cadeau (right, centre), the Centre’s friendly and knowledgeable office admin and facilities host, to obtain more information.

DAC is operated by the Aspiral Youth Partners Association, a not-for-profit group with its primary focus on assisting the youth of the Shuswap to be, as its mission statement says, “positively connected within the community through active living, social

interactions, and sharing space with adults.”

To this end, the society runs a youth centre with structured programs, as well as operates the building as a multi-use community facility. In addition to the former Salmon Arm Elementary School building, also known as DAC, located at 451 Shuswap St. SW, the Association maintains and operates the North Canoe Hall.

Open about 12 years now, DAC is the gathering place for many local groups besides Toastmasters, which meets weekly in the boardroom.

Youth groups include Shuswap Kids’ Club, Strong Start, and the Loft. Sports groups such as badminton, minor hockey and ball hockey use the gymnasium, as do the Shuswap Pipe Band, Shuswap Daycare and Shuswap Kennel Club.

The library is the meeting location for the Salmon Arm Duplicate Bridge Club and Zumba. A unique tenant is the community radio station, Voice of the Shuswap CKVS-FM93.7, which broadcasts from the third floor.

Besides regular weekly meetings, DAC facilities can be rented on a one time or occasional basis, such as for birthday, holiday or anniversary parties, as long as alcohol is not served, seeing it is a youth oriented building. For a gathering serving alcohol, the North

DISPLAY AD DEADLINE Tuesday at 12 noon

Based on true events, Foxcatcher shares the story of when Olympic Gold Medal winning wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) was summoned by eccentric heir John du Pont (Steve Carrell) to his family estate to train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Wishing to become the best in the world and finally step out of the shadow of his revered brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo), Mark seizes John’s generous offer and finds in him not only a coach, but a father figure. But through du Pont’s own insecure needs for worldwide glory and the respect

of his disapproving mother (Vanessa Redgrave), the pair’s unsteady relationship soon turns from a dependent friendship to cruel manipulation and paranoia; all boiling down to a tragedy no one could have predicted.

Foxcatcher shows at 7:30 p.m. from January 9th to the 15th at the Salmar Classic Theatre. The Shuswap Film Society are your hosts on Friday and Saturday night with door prizes awarded to the audience; plus, this is a joint presentation with the Salmar Theatre so you may use your free movie passes if you choose.

A fresh start

January is a great month for making a fresh start and making that resolution to try something new. How about taking a college course, or joining Toastmasters or doing something as simple as taking more time to visit with friends and family? A few local business owners and volunteers offered some tips on making 2015 a rewarding year....

Focus on short-term fitness goals “Often it’s the time of year that we think about goal setting,” says Heather Stanton of ProActive Fitness. “I think the idea of New Year’s resolutions has sensibly died because for the most part we know they don’t usually work, we break them before we get started; often setting ourselves up for failure.”

The key, she explains, is to focus on very short term goals.

“While long term goals are good, they are often too big, too far away or too overwhelming; where if we focus on what we need to do today, we can focus on a small chunk that is action-oriented – going for a walk, having a salad with dinner, or drinking an extra glass of water. We will get the results we want when we are consistent with the little things we have done therefore creating new habits.”

The most important component is creating healthier habits and breaking bad ones. It’s a matter of simple planning.

“Cue—Routine—Reward,” she says, giving the example of putting your shoes and exercise outfit ready for your walk, “and then reward with a guilt-free hour of watching your favourite show.”

“The next step in the habit circuit is sticking to it long enough to create cravings, so that you actually crave the endorphins, feel good feeling and sense of accomplishment from regular exercise.”

Heather says it’s important that a person is realistic in their goal-setting. “Remember, little successes can build slowly to larger goals and successes. It’s never late to start to make improvements to improving your health, fitness and energy, it make be starting with 10 minutes of stretching to reduce stiffness and pain or starting a training schedule to tackle your first Spartan race! Regardless of where you’re starting from, use this New Year’s time to re-focus, re-energize and focus on creating or re-fining your habits and goals for 2015.”

Exercise your mind But New Year’s resolutions aren’t always about physical fitness. Some people use the beginning of the year as a marker to improve their minds.

“Over the six years, customers have told us they have gone back to reading,” says Beth Phillips of Hidden Gems Books. “They say they are finding pleasure in reading again and that it helps them de-stress from what is happening around them.”

Some people want to get away from the TV, she says, but conversely the TV and theatre have brought more people into the bookstore.

“Movies, especially books-to-movies, have prompted a huge return to reading from young to old. The popular books right now are the ones that have been made into movies, especially fantasy for the youth; historical fiction for men and women as well as action/thriller fiction, and non-fiction, stories of people’s lives, especially if the stories are funny.”

friends&neighbours

by Leah Blain It’s not so much the New Year that marks an influx of readers but a life stage.

“Baby boomers are grandparents now, and this stage of their life is brining them back to reading, says Beth. “They remember the books from their childhood and they are buying and reading those books they want to pass it on to their children and grandchildren.”

Hit the airwaves What about going a little outside your comfort zone and trying something totally different for 2015 like being a radio talk show host?

“Anyone can have a show, they just need to take our Radio Skills training first” says Jeanette Clement, Office Coordinator for Voice of the Shuswap. “Apart from music programs, we’d love to have a sports reporter, a news broadcaster, and someone to review films.

Or one could do a show about their favourite hobby – the ideas are wide open, and it’s fun.

You can do a show on a weekly or monthly basis, live or prerecorded.”

Voice of the Shuswap community radio also needs volunteers in other capacities who can work the technical side of things.

If you’re up for this challenge, you have a couple of days to make up your mind as their next training session goes from January 15-17.

For more info call 250-463-5026 or email info@ voiceoftheshuswap.ca.

Volunteer outdoors - Join SVSAR Or if you’re looking for something totally different why not join Shuswap Volunteer Search and Rescue (SVSAR)? Jennifer Black, a longtime Ground Search volunteer, says there’s a few reasons why someone might want to join SVSAR. “I would encourage anyone who loves the outdoors, wants to learn new skills and who wants to help our community to join our team.”

People get a lot of satisfaction from helping in this capacity, she says. It’s about serving the community in a unique way while gaining a lot personally.

“I joined because I wanted to challenge myself by doing something outside of my regular day job at SASCU. I love the outdoors and like being active. SAR has really helped build upon my outdoor skills and has given me confidence to do things I would not of done previously. It is great being part of a team of caring, ‘like-minded’ individuals.”

The next training session starts in the spring.

Anyone anyone age 19 or older can join. The first step is taking BC government-certified training in Ground Search and Rescue. This consists of a challenging series of both in classroom and out in the field sessions. Members must also obtain their Occupational First Aid Level 1.

After these basics, members may take additional training in specialized areas such as; flat water, swift water, ice rescue, rope rescue, and avalanche safety.

Training for new member occurs in the spring of each year. For more information contact, Susan Mah at susanlmah@gmail.com or phone 250-804-7918.

by Dr. Warren Gage

Bad posture – part 2

Last week I wrote about the significant detrimental effects poor posture has on spinal health as well as reducing general health and wellness.

For any readers who missed last week’s article, I explained when the head shifts forward and the normal curve in the neck is lost, significant stress and pressure in placed on the spinal discs and joints which accelerates the degenerative process. A loss of the normal curve also interferes with and damages the spinal cord and nerve roots. Considering the nervous system is the most important part of your body that gives life and controls function of every cell, organ and tissue, stress and pressure on this system is something we want to avoid at all cost!

So, this week, I would like to explain how postural problems can be reversed and even corrected through chiropractic care. When I show a patient their digital x-rays and a loss of cervical curve is discovered, I make a plan with them to begin correcting these misalignments. Spinal adjustments are the first recommendation because they work well in restoring reduced mobility in the spine and are effective at eliminating subluxation (nervous system interference). Improved spinal mobility leads to better range of motion of the neck and head, as well as increased disc hydration which greatly slows the degenerative process. Finally, improved movement in a degenerated disc is essential to open up the space for the nerve roots and spinal cord.

This, in turn, helps to reduce nerve damage and improve nervous system function.

Once a series of adjustments are completed and spinal range of motion is improved, the next step is to begin restoring the natural neck curve.

For spinal molding we utilize a device called a “Denneroll.” This is a specially-shaped foam device which gently and comfortably restores the normal neck curve. A chiropractor trained in the use of these devices determines the correct size of Denneroll for the individual, then prescribes exercises and provides a corrective plan.

If people are diligent with using their Denneroll as part of their home-care/structural exercise regime, they will begin seeing improvements in their spinal curves as well as experiencing improved function in their spine and nervous system.

For anyone wanting more information on these devices, go to denneroll.com where there is loads of research on how they help. If you have a lifestyle that is not conducive to good posture, or if past traumas have caused you to lose your spinal curves (e.g. car accidents, whiplash, bike crashes, skiing crashes, football, sports injuries, etc) you should have spinal x-rays by a chiropractor that is trained in spinal correction.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor with a special focus on postural correction and can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

Saving, earning more is doable

Resolutions are made and broken in January. One of the most common is to save and earn more money. Making this resolution stick is possible with even small actions.

“A key is to take steps, even small steps, that are comfortable for you,” says Prasad Savanagouder, Financial Services Manager at SASCU Credit Union’s Salmon Arm Downtown Branch. “People tend to put off getting started, thinking they need a bucket of money before they can start investing. Not so.

“The main thing is not the size of your investment. The main thing is to just get started.”

SASCU Credit Union encourages Payday Investing, automatic transfers each payday to a Savings Account or Term Deposit. Members can even choose to use the transfers to build up their RRSPs or TFSAs. “You likely won’t miss a few dollars coming automatically off your pay cheque,” notes Prasad. “But you will love the results in the long run.”

SASCU Financial Group offers a full range of banking, insurance, and investment services, and has been part of the Shuswap community for almost 70 years. www.sascu. com

DID YOU ENJOY ALL THE GIFT-GIVING OR ARE YOU READY FOR A CHANGE? Scale back on expensive gifts and focus more on spending time with family and friends, said an article in the Vancouver Province website. It said many seniors want or need to reduce holiday spending for young offspring but do not know how, and are afraid of feeling guilty.

Now is the time to announce a change in gift-giving next year, so there won’t be hurt feelings or surprises later on. The article states that great holiday memories come from the time we spend with those we love, not from a gift wrapped in fancy paper. Adults in the family may welcome a reduction in gift-giving, because it may reduce their credit card debts in January.

I SPENT FOUR DAYS WITH THOSE I LOVE Many years ago we stopped exchanging gifts in our family, except I give an annual collector’s item to the young ones. I was surprised to receive two gifts from my sons who are aged 50 and 51. One gave a WestJet flight to Victoria on Dec. 28 to spend four days with his family, and the other gave us flights in a Cessna plane over the city. Our pilot was Brendan O’Hare, flight instructor for the Victoria Flying Club. There was no fancy gift wrapping, and the memories will last a lifetime. Thanks, boys!

TV SCREEN WAS THE LENGTH OF MY CAR FOR WATCHING WORLD JR. HOCKEY GAME The huge TV at my son’s is so big, it looked like the length of my SmartCar. Watching the annual New Year’s Eve Canada vs United States World Junior Hockey Championship game from the chesterfield was almost the same as watching a game from the seat at Shaw Centre.

Canada beat the Americans again. It was so exciting, I had palpitations during play.

The final game was between Canada and Russia in Toronto on Mon., Jan. 5. Canada won the world junior hockey championship with 5-4 victory over Russia. We won gold!

SALMON ARM-BORN CURTIS LAZAR WAS CAPTAIN The players in the world junior hockey game were young, the same as Silverbacks. The captain was Curtis Lazar who the announcer said was from Salmon Arm. Wikipedia says he was born in Salmon Arm and raised in Vernon. His proud parents, Dave and Karen Lazar and children, were in Toronto and Montreal for the games, and were shown on TV several times. Curtis has a threeyear contract with the Ottawa Senators of the NHL. SILVERBACKS WON TWICE ON THE WEEKEND The holiday break must have energized our Junior A hockey players because the Silverbacks beat West Kelowna 7-1 on Friday and Penticton 3-0 on Saturday.

Penticton is the top team in BCHL’s Interior Division.

We in the stands cheered heartily!

SNOW CHALLENGES SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT It was a historic day in the North Okanagan Shuswap school district, wrote Superintendent of Schools Glenn Borthistle in a press release Mon., Jan. 5 at 1:20 p.m. For the first time in many years, a decision was made to close schools because there was up to 50 cm. of snow. At 6 a.m. all roads were open and school buses could operate safely. At 6 a.m. Vernon and Kamloops schools were kept open for the day, and our schools would be open too.

Glenn wrote: “However, once principals began arriving at schools, they reported to me that parking lots were not clear at a number of schools and staff were calling in to say they were having difficulty making it to work. We made the call at 7:42 a.m. to close schools.” Kamloops and Vernon did the same. Communication went out and very few students showed up at schools.

On Monday evening it was decided to close schools again on Tuesday because of the continued winter storm warning from Environment Canada and a forecast of freezing rain in the morning.

NO LONGER A PEOPLE PLEASER AT CHRISTMAS Alia Wall wrote a long story about the hectic schedule she, her husband and three daughters had every Christmas,

Letters to the Editor Do the research, then vote

In this election year, I urge all adult citizens to resolve to VOTE. It is not just a matter of turning up on election day but of doing the research needed to make the decision. It is several years since the last election and it is easy to forget the details of what has been happening in our country.

The majority of Canadians are relatively fortunate. Some Canadians have greater challenges and need more help than they are getting. In the lead-up to the election there are many questions that need answers. Some examples are: What more must be done to help those with mental illness?

What plan is there to reduce the unacceptably high rate of children living in poverty? What more needs to be done to properly address the issue of homelessness? On the political party websites one can usually find information on policy decisions that have been made and information on how to contact the candidate to ask questions. All this is better done before the election is called. After that point we get the advertising campaigns that are long on hype and short on facts.

Yep, that one family member that stole Christmas and ruined it for one and all... or at least that is how some of my family would like to make me out to be. But it’s been four years since I made the shocking announcement that I would not be leaving my home on Christmas Day and I refuse to feel guilty about it anymore.” www.huffingtonpost.ca or www.thepurplefig.com, an online women’s blogazine with an emphasis on realistic and inspiring personal stories from women.

CATS CAN BECOME SICK FROM DRINKING WATER A Kelowna veterinarian states that cats are 100% carnivores. Flesh eaters, not dry food eaters. Dr. Moira Drosdovech sold her 20-year-old practise and now focuses on primarily holistic health care. She wrote in an e-magazine that feeding grain in dry food to cats can lead to some potentially serious health problems, such as obesity. Because cats do not like drinking water, they may have chronic vomiting, and dehydration may cause kidney failure which is extremely common in senior cats and accounts for many deaths.

YOUR DOG’S COLLAR MAY BE TOO TIGHT BR from Blind Bay writes: I love dogs. Whenever on our travels we meet someone with a dog, I always pat the dog and give it a scratch behind the ears by the collar.

Nine times out ten the collar is really tight, so tight I wonder how it swallows its food. I wish dog owners would check their dog’s collar and loosen it if necessary.

WOMAN’S WILL REQUESTS HER DOG BE EUTHANIZED, CREMATED & ASHES MIXED WITH HERS An elderly woman in Indiana died in late November and left behind Bella, her beloved German Shepherd. In her will she left several options for Bella, and wanted her very close friend to take charge of the dog. There may not be enough money in the estate to pay for the dog’s care until she dies, so the option of euthanization may be used.

The dog’s ashes were to be mixed with the woman’s, and they would be laid to rest together.

The Washington Post website states a Twitter campaign has begun to protest the proposal, and a radio station reported that some people have asked if they can take the dog in to save it.

DID YOU STOP USING THE KEURIG COFFEE SYSTEM? There was a recall of some Keurig single-cup coffee systems that use K-cup coffee pods. In December 2014, Keurig said its Mini Plus Brewing Systems can overheat and spray water during brewing. The model number is K10, previously identified as model number B31. They were sold online and in stores in the U.S. and Canada between 2009 and 2014.

Christmas contest winner

Before Christmas I was being mocked by friends and family for buying a heavy duty snow blower when it was looking pretty green outside. Well, payback is sweet! My new snow blower has been a back saver this past week.

The crazy thing about all this snow was Monday morning we still had some dedicated puzzlers risk life and limb to line up at the door with their Mall Arkey Christmas contests hoping to claim our generous $50 prize.

Clara (5-time champ) and Mel (annual participant) were at the office with contests in hand, but were both just a couple correct answers short. Instead, we want to congratulate Julie Hagel for getting all 25 correct and more importantly being crowned this year’s Mall Arkey Contest Champion. I’m sure some of the credit can go to her husband Chad too!

Here are this year’s answers: 1. 54 = SOARC (Squares on a Rubik’s Cube) 2. 24 = HIAD (Hours in a day) 3. 13 = SOTAF (Stripes on the American Flag) 4. 3 = WOAT (Wheels on a tricycle) 5. 8 = TOAO (Tentacles on an octopus) 6. 13 = LIABD (Loaves in a baker’s dozen) 7. 5 = TOAF (Toes on a foot) 8. 10 = PIC (Provinces in Canada) 9. 7 = PHTIC (Professional hockey teams in Canada) 10. 366 = DIALY (Days in a leap year)

Assessments are out

KELOWNA– Owners of more than 72,000 properties throughout North Okanagan can expect to receive their 2015 assessment notices in the next few days.

“Most homes in North Okanagan are worth more in value compared to last year’s assessment roll,” said Jason Sowinski, Deputy Assessor.

“Most home owners in the North Okanagan will see modest changes in the -5% to +10% range.”

Overall, the North Okanagan’s Assessment Roll increased from $26,221,360,408 last year to $27,173,940,965 this year. Of note, a total of almost $393,000,000 was added through subdivisions, rezoning and new construction.

The examples below demonstrate local market trends for residential properties by a geographic area; trends are affected by many variables.

Armstrong went from $291,000 to $302,000; Enderby went from $245,000 to $237,000; Revelstoke went from $310,000 to $313,000; Vernon went from $371,000 to $396,000; Vernon strata went from $176,000 to $178,000; Coldstream went from $488,000 to $516,000; Salmon Arm went from $317,000 to $326,000; Spallumcheen went from $331,000 to $332,000; Sicamous went from $306,000 to $311,000; and Lumby went from $255,000 to $250,000.

In addition, owners of commercial and industrial properties in the North Okanagan will see changes ranging from 0% to +5%.

“Property owners who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2014 or see incorrect information on their notice should contact BC Assessment as indicated on their notice as soon as possible in January,” said Sowinski.

“If a property owner is still concerned about their assessment after speaking to one of our appraisers, they may submit a Notice of Complaint (Appeal) by February 2, for an independent review by a Property Assessment Review Panel,” added Sowinski.

The Property Assessment Review Panels, independent of BC Assessment, are appointed annually by the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, and typically meet between February 1 and March 15 to hear formal complaints.

The Okanagan Region assessment office is located at 300-1631 Dickson Avenue in Kelowna.

During the month of January, office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Property owners can contact BC Assessment tollfree at 1-866-valueBC (1-866-825-8322) or online by clicking “CONNECT” at www.bcas-

11. 15 = MOADMC (Men on a dead man’s chest) 12. 90 = DIARA (Degrees in a right angle) 13. 6 = POTSOD (Points on the Star of David) 14. 22 = OWGISR (Olympic Winter Games in Sochi Russia) 15. 206 = BITHB (Bones in the human body) 16. 7 = BFSB (Brides for Seven Brothers) 17. 2 = SUPFAE (Strokes under par for an eagle) 18. 26 = MIAM (Miles in a marathon) 19. 8 = ANOO (Atomic number of Oxygen) 20. 4 = MWTD (Months with thirty days) 21. 3 = VOAT (Valves on a trumpet) 22. 5 = SOAP (Sides on a pentagon) 23. 6 = POAPT (Pockets on a pool table) 24. 12 = HOTBS (Hurricane on the Beaufort Scale) 25. 4 = PCOMR (Presidents carved on Mount Rushmore) I am already starting to come up with my red herrings for next year, so watch out!

The classics go modern Painting lessons

Okanagan College’s popular “Classics at the Classic” returns next week for its fifth season after a twoyear hiatus, and with a contemporary twist. In previous years, the series has largely showcased established classics and foreign-language films, but this season the series focuses on the works of three of the most exciting and distinctive directors working today: Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Terrence Malick.

The non-profit program is sponsored by Okanagan College and supported by the Salmar Association, and runs in conjunction with a 2nd year Film Criticism and Theory course taught by OC English Professor Tim Walters, who introduces each of the films.

“My hope with this year’s selections is that rather than looking to the past, I have selected movies made by the most original and compelling filmmakers working at the very peaks of their powers today,” says Dr. Walters. “I was also keen to focus on directors whose films are immediately identifiable—that have highly distinctive styles and personalities—so we can watch them develop over the course of several films. Plus, these are all films that I love, and that I think will be tremendously exciting for my students and

for the general public.”

The “Contemporary Classics at the Classic” screenings are open to the public ($5 admission) on Monday nights at the Salmar Classic theatre throughout the winter, beginning on Monday January 12th at 5:00 p.m. with Wes Anderson’s 1998 cult classic Rushmore.

The full schedule is: Monday, Jan. 12, 5:00 p.m.: Rushmore (Wes Anderson) Monday, Jan. 19, 5:00 p.m.: Badlands (Terrence Malick) Monday, Feb. 2, 7:30 p.m.: Boogie Nights (Paul Thomas Anderson) Monday, Feb. 16, 5:00 p.m.: The Royal Tenenbaums (Wes Anderson) Monday, Mar. 2, 7:30 p.m.: The Thin Red Line (Terrence Malick) Monday, Mar. 9, 7:30 p.m.: Magnolia (Paul Thomas Anderson) Monday, Mar. 16, 5:00 p.m.: The Fantastic Mr. Fox (Wes Anderson), 7:30pm: The Life Aquatic, with Steve Zissou (Wes Anderson) Monday, Mar. 23, 5:00 p.m.: There Will be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson) Monday, Mar. 30, 7:30 p.m.: Tree of Life (Terrence Malick) For further information, email Tim Walters at TWalters@okanagan.bc.ca)

Meditations Sour Grapes Eze 18:1 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying, Eze 18:2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are on edge?

Sound familiar? Have you ever caught yourself saying "well my dad had a fierce temper so what do you expect, I inherited this problem so you might as well quit trying to change me!" Or maybe your mom was a slob, a drunkard…you fill in the blanks.

The reasons we as humans give for our problems are endless and most of the time we say we inherited them!! So what results can we expect from this line of thinking. We find our children quickly pick up our flaws and often reproduce them in our lives, of course they speedily conclude that it’s all mom or dad’s fault.

Are you satisfied to be a victim of this sort of reasoning? If you read further in Ezekial 18 (esp. v.20-24, "The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son:") you will discover that God holds us personally responsible for our actions. When you stand before God at the end of time there will be no shrugging of the problem off of our shoulders and onto mom and dad. Amazing yet wonderful! No one, absolutely no one needs to remain a helpless victim of inherited problems like temper, etc. God has not written you off because of your parents but rather extends His hand of mercy to you personally whoever you are. John 6:37b "and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."

Our caves

It was October of 1971, when 30 tons of TNT was hauled the 36 miles back into Greenbush Lake by navy personnel. (Greenbush is due north of Sugar Lake, nestled in a deep valley in the Monashee mountains). Shortly thereafter there was a massive explosion in the lake, with shock waves being felt as far away as Winnipeg.

The Canadian government was experimenting with moderate velocity gradients (positive/negative). Recording stations were placed about 10 miles apart to record what lays below our feet, through mountains and then prairies. Results on the graphs also showed large faults, fissures and caves, many connected. Locally, some say there is a series of caves and natural tunnels connecting Okanagan and Kalamalka Lakes. Spelunkers, folks who explore, creep, and crawl beneath the earth’s crust, find many caves. Some are wellknown and used. One such cave, very deep, is Arctomys Cave, found in Mt Robson Provincial Park. Another is Raspberry Rising, near Roger’s Pass. Penetrating it involves the use of a sump dive/waterfall climb.

One of our deepest caves is Castleguard Cave, in Banff National Park It’s Canada’s longest, at 21 kilometres, stretching to under the Columbia Icefield. Vancouver Island also has many caves.

Two of these are the Weymer System, with 40 known entrances; and Crumble Cave, near Gold River. Back on the mainland, there is Century Mountain Cave, near the Crows Nest Pass.

Four years ago a spelunker came upon another narrow opening, exposing a very large cave with a monstrous opening. Near the base of Mt. Tupper, in Roger’s Pass, a turquoise spring. Dye was released at sinks on top of Mt. Tupper, and was found 53 minutes later, in sumps, in the lower immense cave two kilometres away, and 500 metres below. But now, despite an order in counsel prohibiting activities that damage karsts (fragile limestone formations), increased logging is having a negative effect on these caves. In the Chilliwack River valley, cavers are also complaining about lack of protection for Iron Curtain and Renaissance caves. It appears that unless a cave or karst is in a park or recreational site, there is little protection. But a government spokesperson in Victoria, Vivian Thomas, said caves and karsts are automatically protected under the Heritage Conservation Act, if they have historic or archeological value. The complete story of cavers’ concerns can be read at www.vancouversun.com; look for the article by Larry Pynn.

In answer to the Canadian Cave Conservancy complaints, Mark Jones, regional manager compliance/enforcement for Ministry of Forests,

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley Lands, and Natural Resources Operations, in a letter to the conservancy, states he will not take action on the complaint. Here are some of the reasons: Limited resources; in other words not enough field staff to do an investigation.

Priorities on human health and safety; conservation officers used this excuse at our Wilderness Watch meetings as well. A directive from Victoria, to avoid lengthy legal battles in court over wildlife infractions. Low odds of a prosecution; this pertains to a successful prosecution in this case over a giant forest company (Western Forest Products) with high prices lawyers, and weak legislation regarding the forest practices act, which are quite clear to all operators. The response to the cavers concerns, can also be read from the Vancouver Sun column by Larry Pynn for Saturday Dec. 20. It really makes one angry, to know we have a provincial government, and its ministries, that can’t stand up to big business in the mining/forestry sector. After all, contributions from these companies feed the coffers of the party.

Little bits from here and there For those who have travelled to the Kamloops Wildlife Park and seen the white phase Kermode, or ‘spirit bear,’ named Clover, he gets a new home when coming out of hibernation in spring.

At a cost of $700,000, the new habitat includes three acres with two ponds, vegetation, and cave space. An escape artist, he climbed out of his old enclosure last season and was found heading back to Terrace.

Don’t let your pooch mess with guns: A hunter in a remote Wyoming area, trying to move a stuck vehicle with two other hunters, placed his loaded rifle onto the back seat. He told his dog to jump from the front to back seat. The animal stepped on the trigger, firing the rifle and striking its owner in the arm as he stood outside the truck.

Although a new wildlife allocation policy is now on the books, it appears that resident hunters are getting the shaft, as no doubt lobbying to ministers in Victoria has them getting close to 25% of our moose, elk, goats, and sheep.

Minister Thompson says some guides and oufitters are in jeopardy and want to increase business for them. Most guides cater to Americans/ Europeans.

Enjoy getting out for a bit of ice fishing, cross country skiing, or snowshoeing, and and stay healthy!

Russian and U.S. militaries have known since the 1950s that the “non-thermal” radiation (EMR) emitted by the radio frequencies used in today’s Smart Meters, baby monitors, cell phones, Wi-Fi routers etc., and the electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) associated with household electricity and all electrical devices are harmful to the human brain, central nervous system and immune system. They’ve also long known that some people suffer from any exposure to EMR/EMFs - a condition called electro-hypersensitivity or “EHS.” Militaries consider non-thermal EMR to be the perfect weapon: it cannot be seen, smelled, heard, tasted or felt – yet it is everywhere today! Honest scientists know that EMR and EMFs are linked to, promote or cause many cancers, autism, ADD, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS and a host of other diseases. Yet, to protect its military’s powerful radars and electronics-based weapons systems, and its economic interests globally, the USA coerces the radiation ‘standard-setting’ agencies of the world - and Health Canada - to adopt its egregiously high radiation Exposure Limits that

are, today, harming innocent, defenseless people the world over. Shamefully, if not criminally, B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Perry Kendall, has shown himself to be nothing but a puppet for Health Canada’s corrupt Radiation Protection Bureau, which explains why he – like them – refuses to admit that: 1) Non-thermal EMR is harmful to people! 2) EMFs are harmful to people! 3) EHS even exists! Were it not for Dr. Perry Kendall’s unforgivable, if not criminal, dereliction of duty – for 15 years - one can only speculate as to: 1) how many billions of dollars British Columbia’s governments would have saved in Health Care costs: and, 2) how many illnesses and deaths, and how much needless suffering would have been avoided? Premier Clark, the people of British Columbia–including your own son–need you to protect them from Health Canada, from non-thermal EMR, from EMFs, and to protect those who suffer from EHS! In all decency, you must act NOW! James G. (“Jerry”) Flynn, Captain (Retired) Bowser, BC

Cradles, cotton, and cleaning grout

Dear Reena, We have a problem trying to eliminate the stain/varnish odour in a new cradle which our son built for his new daughter. It was varnished nearly two months ago. The paint store where we purchased it from advised us to use oil-based varnish, and that it would be safe within three weeks.

Well, the baby was born on Thursday, and we all think the cradle still stinks a bit too much for the baby. So, she’s in the crib for now, but not so handy for mom and dad during the night. We read your remedy for smelly, mouldy bread in the cupboard.

Regarding your solution of using coffee grounds in a sock, should the coffee be brewed, and the grounds new moist grounds, or should we use unused ground coffee? I’m going to look for Murphy’s Oil soap, but my husband and I are having a debate as to whether to use wet coffee grounds, or unused ground coffee. Your column said “fresh coffee grounds” so I went ahead and put this morning’s fresh (wet) grounds into a sock and he’s laughing at me. We put it in the cradle and then put a large plastic bag loosely over the top of the cradle. Please clarify for me. Or maybe you have a better solution for removing the last bit of odour from the cradle before we use it for our new granddaughter. Thanks, Julie Dear Julie, First of all congratulations on the new

addition to your family, how extremely exciting! Secondly, I would not recommend putting the baby into the cradle until the smell is gone. In my opinion her lungs are still developing and should not be exposed to the crib until the oil based stain has completely cured. If possible, place the cradle into a room with better ventilation so that the stain cures faster.

Another option is to lightly sand the cradle and seal it with an odour free clear latex finish. If you must leave the cradle as is, take a bowl of water, slice an onion in half and place it inside the bowl. Put the bowl somewhere in the room near the cradle.

Onions absorb odours effectively without leaving a smell behind. Also bring a fan into the room to circulate the air and help the cradle dry. Coffee will be difficult to apply to a cradle, instead use two teaspoons olive oil per pint of vinegar. Spray onto cradle and wipe. Or apply Murphy’s Oil according to the directions. Worst case scenario, seal the cradle with shellac.

Congratulations again! P.S. Unused dry coffee grounds mask odours best, leave used coffee grounds for the garden.

Dear Reena, I have some polyester/cotton backpacks and bags with organization logos on them.

They appear to be stamped onto the cloth.

Is there any way to remove these logos? I would like to donate the bags but want to remove the logos first. I have tried a hot

PETRACHUK, CAROLINE “YVONNE” (nee ROKOSH) Passed away peacefully in Salmon Arm, BC on December 25, 2014 at the age of 79 after a long, courageous battle with dementia. It is with great sadness, and loss, that we must say goodbye to a beautiful, loving mother, sister, aunt and friend that we will cherish forever.

She is survived by her loving daughter, Karen Swaffield (Luis Vargas), brother, Roy Rokosh, and niece and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Frank & Alma Rokosh, and brother, Frank “Bud” Rokosh. Yvonne was born in Revelstoke, BC on October 12, 1935 and grew up in Solsqua, BC; however, she spent most of her life in Vancouver, BC. Yvonne built a successful career in the lumber industry in Vancouver, working for more than 40 years in this field. She was an extremely conscientious professional who was highly respected by her peers.

Yvonne was musically gifted and played the piano from a young age. She played in bands in the Eagle Valley when she was a teenager, and well into her adulthood. She was unable to play the piano in the last six months of her life. Prior to that, and even with the dementia, she was always able to sit down at the piano and play beautifully for those who were listening.

Yvonne enjoyed spending time laughing with friends and family, playing the piano, knitting, playing cards, and traveling. Those of us who were lucky enough to know and love her, are much better for it. We are also forever grateful to those at Mount Ida Mews who cared so dearly for Yvonne.

After spending an additional 5 years in the Edmonton area as a dairy farmer, Henry came to Ashton Creek in the fall of 1959. He was a member of the Dairy Association and Odd Fellows. He was a spiritual man and a very patriotic Canadian. It would bring him great pleasure to create things for his loved ones.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife Zwaantje of 60 years; children: Dan (Krista), Bert (Marie), Hetty Burt (Charlie), Ralph (Heather); grandchildren: Neil (Stephanie), Dena, Lisa, Elizabeth (Brent), Nick (Le), Brad (Christina), Jeff, Ryan (Jori), Katy (Jake), Sara; great grandchildren: Liam, Eli, Zachary, Quintin, Vincent, Miriam; and brother: Wouter.

Funeral Services

(nee Gaumond)

wish to express sympathy to the families who we served in December 2014:

September 3, 1917 – December 21, 2014 Helene was born in Shell River, Saskatchewan and spent most of her life in Maple Ridge and Salmon Arm. She passed away peacefully in Salmon Arm. She was predeceased by her husband Herb Jansen and her daughter Evangeline Donnelly. She is survived by her daughters, Muriel Cue (Tony) and Sue Ackerman. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Michael, Benjamin, Elaine, Brian, Danielle, Amelia and great-grandchildren, Rio, Sage and Jack.

Helene was an RN in Alberta and BC for over 40 years. Due to her determination, she upgraded in her late 50’s to earn her Bachelor of Nursing degree. As a result she held a position as a public health nurse in Mackenzie for 5 years.

Helene loved nature and the outdoors, showing her passion though gardening, camping and hiking.

She also had a great love of music, attending concerts and playing the violin herself. In her retirement years she had time to devote to quilting, making dozens of quilts for friends and family. She also had time to travel and volunteer in the community.

Throughout her life, Helene showed that she was a very determined person who valued education and her faith. She had a full life rich with varied experiences; she is much loved and will be missed.

We would like to thank the community care aides, who looked after her in her own home and the kind and compassionate staff at Bastion Place. We would also like to thank Dr. McCallum for his care and concern.

A prayer vigil will take place January 8, 2015 at 8:00 p.m. The funeral Mass will be January 9 at 11:00 am. Both services will be held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Salmon Arm. Online condolences may be sent to Helene’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
