The cost of drapery

Blinds have been more popular than curtains or drapes for about 15 years. This happened because the price of fabric skyrocketed and the price of blinds plummeted. And now folks are realizing that there is something really nice about fabric window coverings after all and drapes are becoming more common but the price of custom drapes can be a bit daunting. I’ve told you in previous columns what you can expect to pay for blinds and shades. Here is the drapery primer so you can plan a bit and not be too shocked when you get a quote. Plan on $30 to $70 per foot for medium to high quality curtain rods. A wall-to-wall rod in a master bedroom, perhaps 150 inches wide, will cost between $350 and $850. This is a rod that carries the drapes on a carrier system, is made of metal that won’t bow in the middle and is available in almost any colour. For that big window, plan on about 18 metres of fabric, and 18 metres of lining. Fabric prices range from $10/meter for budget fabric to an average of $50 and a high of $100/metre. Good blackout lining is $15/metre, and

don’t be foolish and skip this. Blackout lining is essential in this climate. Construction cost will be about $250. So, for the 150-inch wide window, low end: $1050; midrange: $2400, high-end: $3200, or $80-$250 per running foot. Of course these prices can vary a whole bunch but this is industry standard. And one thing about fabric: you get what you pay for. If you want a window covering to be part of a showcase room, don’t expect to get showcase drapes for a budget figure. It just doesn’t happen, I’m sorry to say. A good rule of thumb is to budget an amount equivalent to at least 5% of your home value to window coverings. One study I saw suggested the average Canadian home has 10 to 12 windows. If your home is valued at 500K, a reasonable budget figure for window coverings is $2000 average per window. So, if you “put your money where you can see it,” and use less expensive coverings in the less-used areas of the home, the price of custom drapes to match the value of your home is actually quite reasonable overall.

This April when you buy daffodils, you’re supporting Canadians living with cancer and helping us fund research to fight all cancers for all Canadians in all communities. Please give generously.

Making a heritage church accessible for all

A recent grant from Community Foundation of the North Okanagan has been a kickstart to help make St. Andrew’s United Church in Enderby Accessible for all. Canadian Curling Wheel Chair athlete and champion Sonja Gaudet recently took time out of her busy life to be together with representatives from Community Futures to make the presentation of $5000 towards this important project. This heritage church, now over 107 years old, is the meeting place for over fourteen organizations, but is not wheelchair accessible. A small but dedicated group is determined to make this change. “The sanctuary was full to standing room only for the celebration of a friend’s life who struggled to continue to be a part of the community after being diagnosed with ALS,” says Rev. Lorraine Powell. “But those who had difficulty with the stairs, walkers or wheel chairs could not participate in the coffee and visiting in the lower dining room. This was the impetus to get involved.” For many organizations that meet in this welcoming place, including the Enderby and District Community Resource Centre, the Food Bank, The Garden Club, the Seventh Day

Adventist Church, and MacKenzie Camp, to name just a few, accessibility is restricted. At a recent meeting of the MacKenzie Camp Board, a decision was made to help fundraise for this proposed project, which would help the whole community. A fundraising Irish stew dinner is being prepared by the MacKenzie Camp Board on Saturday, March 14th, 5:30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s United Church; complete with some interesting entertainment and an Irish singalong. This is as a way of saying “Thank You” for the free meeting space and the many events held at St Andrew’s UC to help children attend camp. The dinner will be by donation and is open to all. If you are not able to attend, but would like to support this project you can donate to MacKenzie Camp, Box 133, Armstrong, BC V0E 1B0, or send your donation directly to St. Andrew’s United, marked Accessibility Project. The committee is busy working with consultants and hope to have estimates for the project and begin the work soon. They would like to say thank you to Sonja for her inspiration to help make it possible and to the Community Foundation for their gift and continued support for the community.

Mary Thomas lectures to be preserved

SALMON ARM – The voice, cultural lectures and experiences of Secwepemc elder Mary Thomas will be preserved for future generations, while one person will get valuable work experience in digital archiving, thanks to a funding partnership between the Government of B.C. and the Voice of the Shuswap Broadcast Society (VSBS). The Province is contributing more than $24,000 toward the project that will have the trainee learn computer applications, office administration, communications/networking and website development, as well as how to edit and create new digital materials from existing analogue media. The worker also will develop a catalogue system for Mary Thomas’s lectures on First Nations history, culture and language. Once completed, the lectures will be available to radio stations, colleges and universities across Canada. The 33-week project will run until September. “This community benefited enormously from the contributions of Mary Thomas, and now her lectures will be pre- Dr. Mary Thomas served for the people here in the Shuswap region and all Canadians as radio stations and media will have access to these important lectures once the project is complete,” says Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. Mary Thomas (1918-2007) was a tireless advocate of the language and culture of the Secwepemc people and influenced and inspired generations. She also had a keen interest in plants and wildlife and received many awards for her knowledge, teachings and activism. Mary Thomas was the first First Nations person to receive the Indigenous Conservationist of the Year award from the Seacology Foundation. She was also bestowed with honorary degrees from

Vaccinating your dog

By Emily Corrie Knowing if and when you should vaccinate your dog can be confusing. Relying on Google to help sort through the options can prove to be more confusing still because certain diseases and viruses have a higher prevalence in specific geographic areas. It is important to know what vaccines are necessary for dogs that reside in the Shuswap and when they should be administered. At Deep Creek Veterinary Services Ltd., we vaccinate dogs with a core vaccine that includes Distemper, Adenovirus, and Parvovirus (3-DAPv). Puppies should receive two vaccines one month apart stating at eight weeks of age. After the second vaccination, the 3-DAPv will be good for one year at which time the dog will have to be vaccinated again. After the dog has received its one-year vaccination, it will not require another DAPv until three years later. Vaccinating against Rabies is also important. Puppies over twelve weeks of age will receive a rabies vaccination with their second core booster. This first rabies vaccine lasts for one year. Once the dog has received its one-year rabies

Job Creation Partnerships are part of the Employment Program of BC’s Community and Employer Partnerships, which fund projects that increase employability and share labour market information. To date, nearly 560 job seekers have benefited from work experience and nearly 140 projects have been funded throughout the province. In 2015-16, the ministry has committed to investing $331 million in employment and labour-market programs under the Employment Program of BC. The Employment Program of BC is funded by the Province of British Columbia as well as the Government of Canada through the Labour Market Development Agreement. Funding supports 84 WorkBC Employment Services Centres throughout the province and the four components of the Community and Employer Partnerships fund: Job Creation Partnerships; Labour Market Partnerships; Project-Based Labour Market Training; and Research and Innovation. The Community and Employer Partnerships program is featured in B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint that helps align training and education with in-demand jobs and provides more support to people who are struggling to gain a foothold in the job market or who face unique challenges, such as Aboriginal people. Eligible participants include businesses, non-profit organizations, crown corporations, municipalities, agencies or territorial governments, bands/tribal councils, and public health and educational institutions.

vaccine, it will not require another rabies vaccine until three years later. If you intend to travel to the USA with your pet, you will be required to present a rabies certificate signed by your veterinarian. We keep these certificates on file so that if you misplace your certificate we can easily print you off another one. Many boarding kennels and grooming salons also require that dogs be vaccinated against rabies. Kennel cough (Bordatella and Parainfluenza) is an optional vaccine. Dogs visiting dog parks, grooming salons, or boarding kennels are at risk of exposure to these diseases. The kennel cough vaccination lasts for one year. If you are planning to leave your pet at a boarding kennel, make sure you check ahead with them to determine what vaccinations they require. Protective levels of antibodies will not be present until seven to ten days post-vaccine, so do not wait until the last minute to have your dog vaccinated.

Smoking & low back pain

The long list of health problems that smoking cigarettes causes has been well-known for decades, but some new research published in 2014 has shown yet another problem that smoking can create. Researchers used MRI scans to assess brain function of smokers to look for differences in brain function and the relation to chronic pain. The scans were especially looking at regions of the brain associated with addictions and reward. This study was the first published research linking smoking and chronic pain. In analyzing multiple brain scans of cigarette smokers taken over a one year period, researchers discovered the formation of stronger connections between two areas of the brain that are tied to chronic pain and addictive behaviour. This circuit showed up to be stronger and more active in the brains of smokers. What was even more interesting is a few of the subjects in the study who quit smoking during the study period showed a dramatic reduction in brain activity over this circuit and their vulnerability to chronic pain reduced. Researchers also investigated the effects of pain medications and found that they did not change the brain activity in these circuits. Not surprisingly, the authors of the study concluded smoking cessation programs would be beneficial for smokers who are experiencing chronic pain. As a chiropractor reading this research, I find it promising as there have also been a number of function MRI brain scan studies that have shown significant calming and improved coordination of brain activity in individuals following upper cervical spinal adjustments. Also, there are currently addiction treatment centers in the USA that incorporate regular chiropractic care for patients which are showing excellent results. So, for anyone suffering chronic pain who happens to be a smoker, it is now known that quitting smoking is an effective way to begin gaining control of this pain. Also, for individuals dealing with addictions, adding chiropractic care can be beneficial through the healing journey. Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor who can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

shuswapmind FROM EDEN CLINICAL COUNSELLING

by Zoe Olson, MA RCC

Bouncing back

As times goes on, I am continually amazed at my clients’ stories of survival. Many have been through horrific events of abuse – sexual, psychological and physical. Many have lost loved ones, faced mental illness, chronic health challenges and have experienced other traumatic events, whether ongoing or isolated events. These events are woven into the fabric of their lives, as a piece of them and not a whole. Clinical Counsellors continually assess individuals for signs of resilience and barriers to overcome trauma, in order to facilitate goal setting and treatment planning. While two people may face the exact same traumatic event (such as a car crash), they may each have very different mental health outcomes. For example, one person may display symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or experi-

ence other mental health challenges. The other may, although clearly shaken, continue with daily living after a short period of time. Why would two people react so differently? The factors that contribute to one’s resilience, or ability to “bounce back,” are a hot research topic. Factors such as one’s sense of mastery (perceived control over their life), a strong social support network, no previous mental health diagnosis history, and connection to community are reportedly a few examples of traits that can help foster resilience when faced with trauma, loss or distress. Many individuals in our lives are facing battles unseen. You have likely yourself faced an emotional tragedy of some kind. You are a survivor – what has helped you pull through?

Tele-workshop addresses impact of dementia

What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease? It’s a health question on the minds of many local families, as an aging population faces a growing risk of brain disease. And the answer to their question will be available during a free tele-workshop offered by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. on Tuesday, March 17. Titled Understanding Dementia, the tele-workshop provides basic information about dementia and the impact it has on the individual, caregivers and families. Through

an exploration of how dementia affects the brain and behaviour across the progression of the disease, caregivers will learn what to expect throughout the dementia journey. Tele-workshops are learning sessions designed for family caregivers, but are also open to health-care providers. Participants can ask questions and share with others who are in similar situations. Connecting to the sessions is as easy as phoning toll-free

FORTY YEARS AGO THIS PAPER WAS BORN In 1975 I was a part-time nurse at the Armstrong hospital, and on night duty I typed classifieds on the manual typewriter in the nurse’s station. One night I brought the March 11, 1975 four-page tabloid paper to Jack Jamieson of the Armstrong paper to print on his press while I was on night duty. I was so proud when I picked it up in the morning. When I had submitted articles to other papers, they would not allow me to proofread the edited article before it was printed. So in my first Sidewalk Superintendent column in that March 11 issue, I included this sentence: “Before printing, an article must be read by the person it features.” It is a policy I keep to this day. FEEDACK LATELY HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE! People stop me when I’m shopping, having coffee, or sitting in my car. They tell me how much they enjoy this column. Some give me information for a future column, which I appreciate. My plan to die when I am 85 got people talking. I can extend it if I am healthy, have no pain, and can still write this column. A man said I need to change it because it could be a self-fulfilling prophecy, which is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true. A nurse friend who knows me well recommends I change 85 to 95. ENDERBY WOMAN WITH DEMENTIA DIED ON A COUNTRY ROAD A 73-year-old Enderby woman who lived alone and didn’t have a valid license, was able to drive her pickup truck, perhaps to visit friends in Winfield. RCMP asked people to watch for her. Barbara Derenowski’s body was discovered by several people fishing south-west of Falkland. Police say it appears her truck got stuck in snow on a road not maintained for winter use. She likely succumbed to cold weather when she walked away from her truck. To whom do you report a neighbour or relative you suspect has dementia? If the person lives alone and has a vehicle, for goodness sake, take away the keys! JUNE OPENING AT ANDOVER FOR SENIORS Andover Terrace Retirement Resort, located in Salmon Arm, is slated to open in June of 2015. It is an all-inclusive, pet friendly, independent living facility with the option of assisted care. Take a virtual tour of your new home in the show suite at Centenoka Park Mall and reserve your suite for only $400. Suites are moving quickly and only a limited number of pet friendly suites remain. Andover’s information suite is open from 12 to 5 every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Call toll-free weekdays: 1-844-263-0002. I FOUND A HOARDER HELPER Recently I helped a hoarder move from a rental place I manage. No possessions could be thrown out; no collections could be sold. When I told a friend about my experience, she said she has helped people un-clutter their home and she would be willing to de-hoard the home of a senior. I suggest children or a close friend of the hoarder contact my friend at 250-804-0126.

AVOID SENDING FLOWERS THROUGH A FLORIST LISTED ON THE INTERNET Two Salmon Arm people received a floral bouquet delivered to their home by Purolator. Each opened the box expecting to find a lovely arrangement. Instead, the box contained flowers, a cheap vase, and instructions on how to make the arrangement. Salmon Arm has grocery stores that sell flowers, and it has two florists: Flowers by Fimmy in Centenoka and A Flower Shop on Okanagan Avenue. When I asked Google for a Salmon Arm florist, it found 15. Fimmy has argued with telemarketers who had an order to fill for Salmon Arm and wanted her to fill it. She refused. These companies have people sitting at a desk in Montreal, Toronto, or wherever. When they get an order they make promises, such as same-day delivery, and undercut the legitimate florists. They also buy up florists so they can have their number, which is why there is no longer a florist on Alexander St. Fimmy suggests you find a florist through a phone book of the town or city where you are sending flowers, but if you happen to call one from the internet, ask if it is a real florist. HEALTH AND FITNESS TRADE SHOW IN ENDERBY APR 11. VENDORS WELCOME Sharon Taylor has put together a health and fitness show at A.L. Fortune school from 9 to 2 on Sat., Apr, 11. Vendors can set up at the entrance and be visited by the public for free, or by people between speakers’ talks in another room. Products must be hand or home-made. Contact Sharon at 250-253-8307. I wondered how Sharon could afford to bring such experienced and educated speakers to Enderby so I asked where they were from. Sheryl Hay is from Grindrod/Enderby, Donna Roth is from Kelowna and Kathy Deane is from Lumby. Read their bios on Facebook at Taylored Events. COCK-A-DOODLE-DO ON OKANAGAN AVE.

“I wish the owner would get rid of the damn bird!” said a frustrated person who is wakened at 3:30 every morning when the rooster starts crowing. Towns and cities that allow chickens in back yards do not allow roosters, but unless neighbours complain about the noise, nothing is done. Often neighbours do not want to get on the wrong side of the owner. Salmon Arm’s noise bylaw No. 2037 states: 4(a) No person shall on any day before seven (7) o’clock in the forenoon or after ten (10) o’clock in the afternoon make or cause, or permit to be made or caused, any noise in or on a public or private place which disturbs or tends to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort, or convenience of any person or persons in the neighbourhood or vicinity. 6(b) No person shall own, keep or harbour any animal or bird which by its cries unduly disturbs the peace, quiet, rest or tranquillity of the surrounding neighbourhood or the public at large. I’d like to help. If you want to see the noisy bird roasted or made into chicken soup, write to me at sallys1@telus.net. Or leave a brief letter at Lakeshore News on Hudson Ave. and I’ll pick it up.

SHE WANTS TO START A BUSINESSS “Hi Sally, I just read your article ‘Please start a business to help seniors’ and I can’t believe it’s that easy to start. I thought I would need a licence. I tried a poster where our mail is picked up but it was taken down for some reason. Word of mouth hasn’t helped. If you think it’s that easy I will try again, maybe with more persistence. Thanks for the push.” I encouraged this writer to attend the Women in Business lunch because she needs moral support. I offered my help, first by looking at her poster which she needs to deliver door-to-door in her neighbourhood. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831 The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of Sally Scales and do not necessarily represent those of Lakeshore News and its staff.

Advice could be costly Voters who don’t vote are not a bloc

There are several unknowns regarding the financial status of the couple. An important concern would be if can they afford to rent or buy an apartment and continue to own their house? If they have the money, then renting/buying the apartment and listing their house at the same time is possible. The best advice is for the couple to sell their house with a condition of the sale being finding an apartment. The possession dates should be the same. There should never be a need for a purchaser to spend more than a few days in a hotel. For Ms. Scales to state that “They might have to stay in a hotel for a few months” is poor and costly advice. Best this couple find a caring person to assist them. Frank Fugger, Chase

Lock the doors

I have just lost a friend with dementia who wandered away from her vehicle which got stuck in snow and got disoriented. This has happened before but fortunately not always with such a terrible outcome. So why aren’t we doing something to help people with dementia? An obvious answer to this problem is to put a monitor on anyone in that condition who wanders away unsupervised from their care facility or home or vehicle so they can be tracked. The same metrod can be used on these people who insist on getting lost on the mountains mostly because they aren’t smart enouugh to tell someone where they are going. Maybe if someone had put a monitor on “Isaac” the 3 year old who wandered away from his home he would still be alive. Did anyone think of keeping the doorslocked at the apartment building? Judy Vandergucht, Falkland

I do not intend to turn this into a debate in this paper. But please permit me to respond to the letter by Grieg Crockett. The misguided person in this case is you, sir. I stated the “largest voting BLOC in Canada is conservative.” Eligible voters who do not vote are not a voting BLOC! There are many trade unions in Canada. Yet over half the workers belong to no union. That does not make them the largest trade union in Canada. Like non-voting voters, non-union workers have a multitude of reasons for their decision. Hence the second flaw in your reasoning is to assume that people don’t vote because they do not like the election process. Our current system has worked satisfactorily for Britain for some five centuries. It has worked well for the USA for over two centuries. And it has worked well for Canada for over a century. The system “fair vote” is less fair than what we now

have. In that system no party gains a majority so they have to cobble together a coalition. Often that has taken weeks or even months. Then the balance of power is generally held by some interest group that barely got 10 per cent of the popular vote. As soon as some policy they disagree with is proposed they threaten to defeat the motion. Hence you have the tail wagging the dog. This results in an election every six months or so. History shows many examples of this. A great system for the disgruntled loser types but not so good for stable government. Your statement that the bumper stickers “Stop Harper, go vote” is not part of the “fair vote” platform is not true. Did they not support it they would not allow a person or group to have it on site. Most of the rest of your rhetoric is sheer speculation. Alfred Schalm, Salmon Arm

Mall Arkey Investments This Week Where the serious invest their money

DiD you know? Irish brigands kidnapped St. Patrick at 16 and brought him to Ireland. He was sold as a slave in the county of Antrim and served in bondage for six years until he escaped to Gaul, in present-day France. He later returned to his parents’ home in Britain, where he had a vision that he would preach to the Irish. After 14 years of study, Patrick returned to Ireland, where he built churches and spread the Christian faith for some 30 years.

Medical tax credit

The Junior Bean Counter is in tax mode these days. If I let him, he’d stay home from school just to help me out. Like his Dad, he has a weird affinity for numbers, calculators and photocopiers. All of his tax talk has inspired me to write a refresher article on the Medical Tax Credit. I do this every year as it tends to be one of the more popular tax credits that people take advantage of, but also one that can be confusing. I often get asked, “Can I claim my hot tub? It really helps me with joint and muscle pain.” Well, unfortunately, a hot tub does not qualify. When it comes to hot tubs, you can argue all you want that your hot tub helps you with certain aches and pains. You can even get a doctor to write a letter saying it is good for you. However, Canada Revenue specifically excludes a hot tub as a medical expense. You can however claim your eye glasses, hearing aids and root canals. Essentially, most expenses related to services provided by a doctor, dentist, chiropractor, optometrist, physiotherapist amongst others assuming you were not reimbursed through some sort of private health plan. You can however claim the medical/dental premiums you pay to the private health plan. A big item that is sometimes forgotten is travel expenses to obtain medical services. There are detailed rules related to medical travel, but essentially you can claim mileage if you travelled more than 40 kilometres in one direction for medical services you could not otherwise get

mallarkey

by Daron Mayes closer to home. You can also claim meals (subject to certain limitations) and accommodation if you travel more than 80 kilometres in one direction. For those of us in the Shuswap, this can be a real benefit as it isn’t uncommon for us to have to see a specialist in Vernon, Kamloops or Kelowna. For the 2014 tax year, the mileage rate you can claim is 49.5 cents per kilometre and you can claim $17 per meal to a maximum of $51 per day. They had to specify a max of three meals a day for people like my teenagers that seem to have 9-10 meals a day. The federal credit is 15% on allowable medical expenses that exceed 3 per cent of your net income. So if, for example, your net income is $30,000; you would need over $900 in allowable medical expenses before you would receive any benefit. Also, if your taxes payable has already been reduced to zero it doesn’t matter how much allowable medical expenses you may have. Once your taxes payable are zero, you can’t reduce them any lower. In the end, be sure to check with your tax professional to ensure you are claiming everything you are entitled. Remember, at Mall Arkey we want you to keep as much of your hard earned money in your pocket instead of sending it to Ottawa and Victoria!

Stand Up

CROSSWORD

If you sit at your desk for long stretches during the day, you may be putting yourself at risk for heart disease. A recent study showed that those who stand up and walk around more frequently between bouts of inactivity are less likely to develop heart problems. The negative impact of too much sitting even applies to routine exercisers, which means that we all stand to gain from stretching our legs a little more often.

The story of one Cornishman’s children friends&neighbours

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

A stack of pale green books sits on the coffee table. As Joyce Burkitt Fetterley glances over at them she smiles a little as she tells what her reaction had been when they arrived. “Oddly I didn’t want to look at them. I was exhausted, I think.” For over a decade Joyce has been writing this book, One Cornishman’s Children. It is her family story, but it salutes the typical Cornish mining family that often spent years abroad and called several countries ‘home.’ Mining has been been an integral part of Cornish economy for over 2,000 years but in the 1800s world-renowned Camborne School of Mines was set up and its graduates were in demand around the world. The story begins After some pages of genealogy and snippets of family stories, she begins: “Grandpa (William Roberts Thomas) had been an important figure in the Cornish mining industry in his day; he belonged to the Royal Geological Society...” This was an impressive feat for a man whose early life was beset with hardship. His father died when he was 11 and it fell to him to look after his mother and younger brother, Arthur. “He was down in the mines at the age of 13. There was no social network in place for a fatherless home at the time... Grandpa, full of energy and purpose even at a young age, studied at night school and eventually graduated from the Camborne mining school as a qualified mining engineer, as did his brother, Arthur. This opened up the world to them and thereafter they both enjoyed fulfilling careers, as Cornish mining men were in great demand throughout the world.” Joyce’s grandfather’s career took him into many countries: Canada, Wales, Portugal, Spain, Romania, Ireland, Mexico, Australia and eventually back to Cornwall. Russia & revolution His brother Arthur (Joyce’s great-uncle) was doing consulting work in Russia during their pivotal historical events. “The firm had an office in Ekaterinburg... In Ekaterinburg, there was a house known as Ipatiev House close by the British Consulate. Great-uncle Arthur passed it every day on the way home from the office...On the night of July 16, 1918 the Tsar and all his family, together with some family retainers, and their doctor, were shot and stabbed to death in this house, where they had been held for a few months. They were killed by Communist soldiers...After this event, the British Consulate’s wife in Ekaterinburg fell ill and the Consul took her home to England for treatment, asking Arthur to be Acting Consul while he himself was away...... Arthur was the first British person eventually permitted to view the house where they were executed....Arthur saw the bullet holes and even the bloodstains still on the wall....” From Music to the Mine Joyce’s grandfather met his wife in Halifax, Nova Scotia. They had one son, Sidney Roberts Thomas. His talent for playing the piano won him prestigious awards, scholarships, and gave him the opportunity to study under Emil Sauer in Vienna, who was an honoured pupil of Franz Liszt.

by Leah Blain

But Sidney wasn’t destined to have a music career as World War I took him to the trenches in France. His nerves were shattered and he went to the Camborne School of Mines. He graduated with first class honours and got a job in Nelson, BC, where he met and married Lillie May Burkitt in 1929. They had their first child, Alan, in 1931. The local mine where Sidney was working closed due to the Depression. The family moved back to Cornwall. Joyce was born there in 1933. Soon her father was offered a job at the Wanderer Mine in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and the family relocated. “After some years at the mine our father was entitled to three months leave, so he took us ‘home’ to Cornwall on a holiday, in August 1939...War broke out while we were there and we weren’t allowed to take passage back to Africa. Our father returned to Africa, hitching a ride on a warship...We started school in Camborne. I wanted to go to what I consider my home, the home of my earliest memories, to Africa and its people. I had to wait ten years.” War & murder Much of Joyce’s book recounts the war years as she experienced it: as a youngster in Cornwall and then in boarding school in Penzance. Food was rationed, and clothing was scarce (“When our leather shoes became too short we cut the toes out of the shoes and wore them like that, toes sticking out. We all laughed at each other’s shoes”). And yet it was a life sur-

“The next thing I did after the news of his death was take down the birthday presents he had sent me and opened them. There was a Rolex watch and a manicure set. I carefully wrapped them up, telling no one, and officially opened the package again on my birthday.” Out of Africa At 17 Joyce graduated and went to work. She had various jobs, working for Barclay’s Bank, then at the Roan Antelope Mine office, and then at the Chilbuluma mine office. “When I turned 21 I had enough of living alone without family of any kind...” she writes in her book. “I wrote to my Aunt Helen, my mother’s younger sister in Nelson, B.C. to see if I might board with her and find work there.” Alan decided against a mining career, joined the Royal Air Force and lived the rest of his life in England. He passed away in 2005 at the age of 73. It was 1955 when Joyce came to Canada. She met lots of cousins and learned to ski and skate. “I had not seen mountains before Zambia is so flat, like a table, and the first winter in Canada was quite exciting.” What began as a visit to Canada turned into a permanent move as Joyce married Royal Fetterley, one of her cousin’s friends. With their four children, Joyce and Royal moved around the province and eventually ended in Salmon Arm in 1974. Joyce worked as a legal stenographer for years and is now retired, and Royal is retired from teaching Industrial Arts in Enderby. Her book ends where her life in Canada begins. The book wasn’t meant as a simple chronicle of her life but about

Photos are taken in Cornwall, before they left for Africa. rounded by the beauty of the sea and lush countryside. “By the end of the war hundreds of thousands of people in the forces and refugees were stranded away from their home and wanted passages back. Our mother was advised of an available berth after a two-year wait and asked if Alan and I minded if she went ahead. She had hardly seen her husband in 7 or 8 years. We would live with our grandfather in Camborne....After she took me back to boarding school that September with tears in her eyes, I never saw her again. She was murdered in a robbery by a white man - a co-worker - in a small mining town of Geita in Tanganyika.” It wasn’t until 1949 when Alan and Joyce were finally able to return to Africa to live with their father. Alan went to work at the N’kana mine with their father in Kitwe, and Joyce was in Grahamstown, South Africa, finishing school. A year after they arrived, their father died.

the special heritage that is hers because she is a Cornish miner’s daughter. “My brother and I have been fortunate in living and visiting the most beautiful parts of the world but I do believe Cornwall is one of the most beautiful; .... many descendants of the Cornish mining men have grown up on more than one continent....so many have lived with different languages and cultures and travel....That is our heritage. And our great privilege. We wouldn’t have asked for it any other way. Our thanks to our family before us.” One Cornishman’s Children is available at Hidden Gems Bookstore on Alexander Street.

It was the annual hard water fishing trip to Bridge Lake area, angling for kokanee and lake trout. Steve, who owns a home on Bridge, had some hidey-holes he had found out about, we could fish. Cottonwood Bay/Eagle’s nest, produced some pretty nice size laker’s the first day, but his spot off Ross road was the killer! Sitting around on our buckets and beer chairs, watching the fish finders, they showed schools of Kokanee. Poor George, he wasn’t having any luck. As he walked over to Fred’s to see the fish go by Ollie, pulled up his line then put it back down, hollering, “Fish on George”! George pulled up the now bending rod only to find a very cold blue can of you guessed it. To target lake trout

Fishing lures

on this very large lake, bottom jigging with small spoons, lead head swim fish imitation jigs work best. In spring & summer trolling spoons, plugs, & apex lures work best. For kokanee, tiny pink spoons, lures with trolled willow leaf get results. The fun part of sitting around a ice angling group, is the tall tales, whopper fish stories, and with all that grey hair in those snowmobile suits, the beenthere-done-that scenario of retired fallers, mechanics, heavy machine operators, and logging truck drivers that helped build this province. Too, the love of all out doors. Many told of the good ol’ days. Liberal limits. Fishing gear types. Methods of fishing. This twigged my imagination, so I phoned Carl Sunmark, of Canoe, long time resident, and Shuswap lake angler, about the early days of fishing. A common practice to catch the abundant lake trout was to drag a burlap sack, filled with rocks, along the bottom from Canoe mill to Annis bay. This stirred up the bottom, attracting the large species in, then trolling past again, using a Gibbs Cowitchin spoon! Sicamous # 5 spoon, in silver/copper. The ruby eye wiggler, also worked. Too, just trolling the lures with steel line worked well. Back in the 30’s-40’s, with little money around, Carl, brother Erick, and other anglers made their own spoons/lures, hammering out nickel/brass, even tee spoon lures, which worked well. A teaspoon, with handle cut off and a hole drilled, wobbled perfectly to catch lakers to 17lbs, or larger. Carl then related about the two sticks of 90% dynamite his buddy stole from his Gramps shed, along

with tarred fuse/blasting cap, and rowed out by Harold Park in their eight foot punt, taped it together then lit the sucker, threw it then rowed like heck. It didn’t go off! Trolling off Bastion bluff one afternoon, Carl & Erick had little luck. They built a large bonfire on the beach as darkness approached, then trolled past several times, catching fish each time. Salmon and large trout are attracted to natural fire. Harry & Art Jones, Natives from the Splatsin Band, (Enderby) used pitch fire pots drifting down the Shuswap river in

A very long handled spear would nail the fish as they came to the light! Other lures fished on Big Shuswap, were the mack squid and McLennan Stewart spoon. With the passing of the “good ol’ days”, modern technology in sonar, fish finders, and newer tackle types, angling methods have also changed. Finding where fish hang out, instead of trolling all day is the norm. “Hot spots” are

Our duty to defend

Last October, Canadian soldiers were killed in two separate attacks on Canadian soil: one in Quebec and the other in Ottawa. Both attacks were carried out by individuals inspired by the radical Islamic extremism used as an ideological foundation for similar attacks around the world. The attacks of last October and the revelation of the radicalization that has been occurring in Canada bring cause for not only concern, but cause for action. Just as we have seen allies like the United Kingdom and Australia strengthen and integrate their security legislative regime to meet these challenges, so must we. To date in Canada, we have been fortu-

nate. The good work of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has averted terrorist plots by the “Toronto 18” to storm the Parliament Buildings and kill MPs and behead the Prime Minister, the plot to blow up a VIA Rail bridge in Ontario and a plot to kill people celebrating Canada Day at the B.C. Legislature. However, after the attacks of last October and revelations of radicalization of Canadian citizens who wish to join forces with radical Islamists, the RCMP and CSIS informed the Minister of Public Safety and National Security that they need more tools legislated to both investigate and prevent similar threats to Canadians.

C a n a d a ’ s Government has taken action by introducing the Anti-terrorism Act in the House of Commons on January 30, 2015. Bill C-51 will give the people that protect us the tools they require to do their job. The critics of this bill are suggesting that it will infringe on the rights of Canadians to protest or demonstrate peacefully. This suggestion is incorrect. Section 2 of the CSIS Act clearly defines what is considered a threat to the security of Canada and clearly states that threats to the security of Canada do not include “lawful advocacy, protest or dissent.” C-51 does not seek to change these definitions. The Anti-terrorism Act would enhance the

Fishing licence revenue ﬂows back to lakes

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press There will be more fishing spots and trout to catch in B.C. lakes and streams this year thanks to a $3 million increase in provincial funds for the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced Monday the province is making good on a decade-old vow to direct all its fishing licence revenue to the society. That brings the annual revenue from $7 million to $10 million. Since the society took over freshwater fisheries management from the environment ministry in 2003, it has focused mainly on stocking smaller lakes with trout. The extra money will allow for expansion to larger lakes and rivers, to improve access to fishing as well as assess stocks and enforce fishing regulations. The society stocks hundreds of B.C. lakes with rainbow, kokanee and eastern brook trout, mostly to provide catchable fish for recreational purposes. Society president Don Peterson said B.C. took a risk when it transferred responsibility for recre-

ational fishing to a non-profit organization, but independent status has allowed it to set up innovative programs such as Learn to Fish and Fishing in the City. He said 250,000 residents and visitors go fishing in B.C. each year, supporting 1,000 fishing-related businesses and an estimated 7,000 jobs. “Our stocking program supports about 50 per cent of all the fishing activity in the province, and now fishing on stocked lakes in B.C. is the best it has ever been in the history of the province,” Peterson said. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said the creation of the society was one of the moves made by the B.C. Liberal government in its first “core review” in 2002-03. “There was a religious fervour about he opportunity that we had at that time to improve the way government operates and to spend less of your tax dollars,” Bennett said. Lake stocking projects planned for 2015 can be found at www.gofishbc.com under “fish stocking reports.”

ability of Canadian institutions and agencies to collect information, share information and disrupt the activities of suspected terrorist groups. The bill proposes a list of activities to be considered as threatening the security of Canada such as interference with critical infrastructure or the economic or financial stability of Canada. Despite what the critics are saying, the proposed bill qualifies that list by stating that “activity that undermines the security of Canada does not include lawful advocacy, protest, dissent and artistic expression.” I am very concerned that the opposition has taken a matter as serious as our national security and politicized

SPORTS & LEISURE Nordic trails ripped up Extensive damage to the groomed ski area in the Larch Hills last Sunday has the nordic community frustrated. At least six quads appear to have come in from the multiuse South Canoe access and past the signs indicating skis only. “They ran into a number of skiers some of whom took photos and have filed police reports so there should be information available from the RCMP,” says Blaine Carson, volunteer trail co-ordinator

Ski Trails in the Larch Hills were damaged by a number of quad users, observed Sunday, which has frustrated local Nordic skiers. LARCH HILLS NORDIC SOCIETY PHOTO

with the Larch Hills Nordic Society. “We will repair the damage as best we can, as the ski season is far from over.” Although this is not the first incident of quad damage, the area has seen it in previous years, but Carson says this is the most blatant and he urges responsible quad use. Those in the area are advised that there is a multi-use area off South Canoe, but when they reach the top of the hill it is a ski-only area when there is snow on the ground.

DONALD ARTHUR COX Aug. 7, 1946 – Feb. 28, 2015 Don died suddenly and unexpectedly at his home in Silver Creek with family by his side. He was born in Estevan, SK, the eldest child of Arthur and May Cox. He was predeceased by both parents as well as baby brother Keith. Don was best known for his exceptional knowledge on most any subject and his outstanding practical abilities. He could build or fix anything - often toys.

Don leaves to always love and remember him; his loving wife of 38 years Martha “Marty”, sons Keith (Kara) and Brent (Melissa), his cherished grandchildren Kayedance, Brayden (grampa’s best friend), Madison, Lyndon, Sophia and Darius, his brothers and sisters Alan, Raymond, Cathy and Judy as well as numerous relatives, friends and family. No service as requested. Memorial donations in Don’s name may be made to https.//supportus.sanfordburnham.org for CDG research in honor of his granddaughter Madison.

Geertje (Diet) Antje Braaksma November 13, 1925 to March 7, 2015 Diet Braaksma (van der Hoek) passed on to meet the Lord on Saturday, March 7, 2015 at the age of 89. She is survived by her two daughters, Tynke (John) of Penticton and Corinné (Jim) of Bella Coola; two granddaughters, Jessica and Sierena (Stephen); four great-grandchildren, Annaka, Eden, Trenen and Emma Grace; sister Sjoek of Salmon Arm and brother Anton (Bartie) of Port Coburn, Ontario; sisters-in-law, Rita of Salmon Arm and Janny of the Netherlands; and many nieces, nephews and extended family. She was predeceased by her loving husband Arie Braaksma in 1997. Diet was born in The Joure, Friesland, The Netherlands. She met her life-long love Arie in Berlikum, marrying soon after on March 7, 1952. Their first daughter Tynke was born in “the old country”, and they immigrated to Canada late in 1953. They settled in Lynn Valley, North Vancouver, BC to be close to other recently immigrated family, and added their second daughter Corinné to their loving household. In the 1970’s, Diet attended university to complete her Canadian teaching degree at UBC. After Arie’s retirement they moved to Mara Lake; Diet made her home in Salmon Arm to be closer to family following Arie’s passing. Diet loved singing (had a beautiful soprano voice!), gardening, cooking and caring for her family, pottery, weaving, sewing and walking her beloved dogs. Diet dedicated her life to raising her two fabulous girls and being a loving partner to husband Arie. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. The family would like to thank Dr. Goldberg and the staff of Hillside Village, Cottage 5 for their kind and compassionate care of our precious Diet. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 14, at 2:00 pm at Crossroads Free Methodist Church, 121 Shuswap St. SW, Salmon Arm. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium, Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Diet’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

In Loving Memory of Charles William (Bill) Desimone November 23, 1933 - March 11, 2014

In tears we saw you sinking We watched you fade away Our hearts were almost broken You fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping So peaceful free from pain We could not wish you back To suffer once again.

We know God is taking care of you and the memories of you will live on within us. You have been missed dearly. Your wife Herta, and your family and friends.

Terence Evanishin

April 13, 1952 - March 8, 2015

It is with great sadness that we announce that Terry Evanishin passed away peacefully on March 8, 2015 with all of his girls by his side. Terry was 62 years old and fought a hard battle with diabetes and kidney disease. Terry leaves behind his loving wife of 33 years, Denice, his three beautiful daughters, Tasha (Clark) Bostrom, Lindsay (Chris) Lawson, Lacey (Mike) Curle and four amazing grandchildren, Brayton and Davin Lawson, and Ali and Dane Curle. He also leaves his sister Debbie Ewanishin, and niece Robyn (Derek) whom he was very close to and survived his many pranks, four step-brothers; Ray (Cindy), Dwayne (Teresa), Rob (Sue), Don (Denise) Pukas and stepsister Patti Pukas whom he taught many lessons to and enjoyed getting into trouble with as well as numerous nieces and nephews and great nieces and great nephews all whom will miss his crazy antics. Terry was predeceased by his son Dayton Evanishin, mother and step-father Joyce and Russell Pukas. Terry was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and moved to BC in 1986 where he raised and watched his beautiful family grow. He was a strong, gentle man who loved a good laugh, a good drink and his family by his side. He stayed true to this with his battle and could always be seen with a smile through the tough days. He enjoyed quadding, camping, snowmobiling, building anything, and being with those he loved and who loved him. A celebration of life will be held on March 14, 2015 at 11:00 am at Shuswap Community Church, 3151 - 6 Avenue NE, Salmon Arm. A special thank you to Dr Lourens, Dr. Hepburn and the renal team at Royal Inland Hospital and their dedication to helping Terry.

Marmelade, rust, and ballpoint pens

Dear Reena, Is it possible to thin stiff homemade marmalade by adding frozen concentrated orange juice, or do you have a better idea? Thank you, Dorothy Hi Dorothy, Frozen concentrated orange juice added to the mixture is a smart solution for thinning your delicious marmalade. Hi Reena, I have some rust on my chrome shower bar. How can I take it off? Thanks! Monique Dear Monique, While there are rustoff products and chrome polishes available in home hardware stores, you can try making rust-off cleaner using products that you already have on hand. Combine water and baking soda to create a paste. Scrub the paste onto the chrome. Repeat until you are satisfied with the result. Oxalic acid is another option for removing rust on chrome. If the stain remains, chrome paint

is a good option. Protect chrome from future rust by spraying it with WD-40. Hi Reena, I just read your column in the paper and it came at a perfect time. We lifted our dining room carpet to find it has left imprints of the carpet in the hardwood flooring and I don’t know how to get them off. The carpet has been there for a long time. Do we need to sand the floor? I sure hope you have some other ideas that will help. I look forward to hearing from you. Kindest regards, Sybil Dear Sybil, The most popular cure for dents in hardwood begins by wetting the area with water. Next, cover the dent with a tea towel and press with a warm/ medium heat clothing iron. While many had success with this technique, the outcome depended greatly on the finish of the floor. Some people have found that the iron stripped the finish, but that tung oil helped to

Dear Reena, Most ball point pens sold in stores today have a very, very small plastic cap on the end of the instrument to protect its writing ability. Take a soft tissue and pull it off. You’re welcome, Alan Re: Prevent little critters from feasting on corn and storing birdseed in garbage cans. Dear Reena, Your suggestion of using string to deter small animals from corn might work for seeds, but for mature corn, sprinkle the hottest pepper you can get on the corn silk at the top of the cob. Raccoons will take a bite and head for water. They will learn quickly to avoid your

Meditations Devotional Reading - Romans 12:9

– CHRISTIAN LOVE – Just one simple verse but none the less a complete recipe to follow. Three simple ingredients: 1. Love without dissimulation. 2. Abhor evil. 3. Cleave to good. Let’s break down these ingredients and see what we find. 1. Love without dissimulation. Dissimulation means to hide under a false appearance. This is something that is very natural for us to do. We could interpret this to mean to love for the same in return or to love for recognition. Maybe it is a false front because we have a hurt in our life. Would Christ approve? 2. Abhor evil. To abhor is to loathe or hate. Reading the Bible will help us come to a full knowledge of what is evil. Anything that is unacceptable to God is evil. 3. Cleave to good. The dictionary defines cleave like this: to adhere firmly and closely or loyaly and unwaveringly to. Since God is the Author of all that is good we need to read the Bible and find out what God calls good. Cleave to that. First we hate evil and then stick to good. We can’t do this on our own power. We must ask Jesus to come into our life and help us. Submitted by: James Martin

garden. Regarding bird seed stored in garbage cans: make sure you use metal cans, or rats will chew through to get the seed. Mo Re: Quilts carrying mothball odour. Dear Reena, It’s okay to wash handmade quilts in the washing machine on the gentle cycle. Using ‘Retayne’ will limit colour bleeding. Quilts should never be sent to the dry cleaners where chemicals are used in the cleaning process. It’s also okay to dry handmade quilts in the tumble dryer. Wet quilts should never be hung to dry as this is too stressful on the stitching. Hanging a dry quilt in the sun might help get rid of the smell but could fade the colours in the fabrics. Laying the quilts in the backyard or on a deck with a bed sheet underneath and another one on top is another safe option for drying. Sincerely, a concerned quilter (Beryl). Cut your grocery bill in half: • Plan your meal a week (or month) in advance, and as you shop only purchase what you planned for. • Make a list before you shop and stick to it. Paperclip coupons to your list so that you don’t forget to use them. But don’t use a coupon just because you have it–coupons only save money if you were intending to purchase the item in the first place. • Convenience foods such as pre-grated, packaged cheese can cost up to 70% more than purchasing a block and grating it yourself. • Pick your items from the tops and bottoms of grocery shelves. The highest priced products are typically eye level. I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming. Missed a column? Can’t remember a solution? Need a speaker for an upcoming event?
