Rhinos being poached out of existence

On a recent visit to Namibia, Gondwana Gallery’s Charmain McClure went to visit Save the Rhino Trust as her son was going to fill a volunteer position with SRT. She was aware of this organization as she had worked for them back in 1996 when they used to be a Rhino monitoring non-governmental organization and because of the increase in poaching, they are now becoming an anti-poach unit. It was here that Charmain learned that 18 Black Rhinos had been poached last year, and she knew then that she had to get the word out.

One of the last remaining megafauna species of Africa, the rhino, is now facing a serious crisis. According to science, these prehistoric creatures have been around for 50 million years, yet 95% of the world rhino population has been decimated by humans in a short time period. Rhino poaching has recently increased to a rate of over two animals per day, driven by an international crime syndicate with an insatiable greed for rhino horn, something which is no different in substance than a human fingernail. Not only

are these majestic animals needlessly dying, but so are the people on the front lines protecting them. Now more than ever, the rhino and those defending them need each of us to care. In 2014, 1215 rhino were poached in South Africa, and 24 in Namibia. Save the Rhino Trust was officially registered in 1982 by Blythe Loutit. Initially, a combination of former poachers and members of the local community were employed by Save the Rhino Trust to monitor and protect the rhino. They had extensive knowledge of these animals and the rugged terrain they inhabited. Today, community members are directly employed in rhino conservation and communities are sharing in the longterm benefits of successful conservation strategies. Rhino conservation has led to rhino-based tourism on community land, thereby increasing livelihood opportunities and incentives for local people to improve conservation measures. With the increased threats the rhino are now facing, Save the Rhino Trust needs your help. They rely solely on the support of local and international donors for the conservation work they undertake and without the necessary funding, Save the Rhino Trust cannot carry on doing their vital work to prevent the extinction of this majestic species. You can sponsor a rhino or offer practical and/or financial support in a number of other ways, depending on your business, service or individual preference. If you would like to get involved and help save a Namibian rhino, please email srt@rhino-trust.org.na.

Spring into April

In Canada, March 20th marks the first day of spring. This is an exciting time of year for kids as they have their well-deserved two week break from school. The snow is melting around Salmon Arm and the urge to come out of hibernation increases as the days become longer. Many people experience the urge to get moving in the spring because naturally it is a time of renewal and rebirth in the plant and animal world. If your winter involved a bit less physical activity and possibly gaining a few extra pounds, spring is the ideal time to shed that weight and get back into shape. This week I would like to give a few easy tips to help prepare your body for more physical activity through the coming months. 1. Lose the car keys. Well maybe don’t “lose” them, but use them less! One of the simplest ways to burn off extra weight is to walk more and drive less. If you are downtown and have numerous errands to run, walk instead of driving. You will be amazed how easy it is to walk an extra 1000 steps and in the process you will be out in the fresh air getting Vitamin D from healthy sun exposure. 2. Put down the TV remote. Through the dark cold winter nights it is easy to retire to the couch to watch TV after dinner. But now with the time change, you have a few hours of daylight left to be able to get outside and do something more active and productive with your time. You may feel tired and that you need to sit and rest, but the opposite will happen if you get up and get moving. Increasing your activity gives you EXTRA energy rather than tiring you out. 3. Start an exercise program. There are so many options to help increase your fitness level. Many people get memberships to one of our local gyms and hire one of our many excellent personal trainers. If your situation doesn’t allow for getting to a gym, you can exercise in the comfort of your own home. Simply use your body’s own weight against itself and the forces of gravity. Try doing a workout of push-ups, planks, crunches, wall squats, leg lifts and lunges. 4. Get adjusted! Just like your house, your spine and nervous system may need some “spring cleaning” to clear out any stress and subluxations that may have accumulated through an inactive winter. A clear functioning spine and nervous system allows your body to achieve maximum benefit from the exercise regime you incorporate and healthy lifestyle choices you make. 5. Finally, always remind yourself that there will be setbacks in your journey to better health and fitness. Improving your health is never a quick and easy thing to do. As you begin, know there will be some setbacks; keep motivated and focus on your goal. The end result will be worth it! A few weeks of this and you will be well on your way to getting back the strength, vitality, and weight you were enjoying before last winter. Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor who can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

Get moving on Mother’s Day

The Shuswap Lake Health Care Auxiliary in Salmon Arm have been busily planning their annual “Footsteps For Our Future” event, a walk/run in aid of women’s health to be held on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 10th. This popular event starts and finishes at the south end of Salmon Arm Fairgrounds where participants commence their 2km, 5km or 10km walk/run. Last year the Shuswap Lake Health Care Auxiliary were able to raise $7,000 for the purchase of priority women’s health equipment for Shuswap Lake General Hospital. Event project chair Gloria Lynd says, “The Auxiliary has now been able to name an item whose purchase will be supported by the funds raised at this years’ event. A new resectoscope is needed for women’s surgical procedures at Shuswap Lake General Hospital and we are looking forward to being able to bring

this equipment to our hospital here in Salmon Arm.” You can also make donations to this worthy project online at www.shuswaphospitalfoundation.org under Auxiliary. Everyone is invited to get together with friends and/or colleagues, form teams or challenge friends to walk or run the distance together or participate as a single. Registrations can be made on event day or at the Radiothon at Save-On-Foods, Piccadilly Mall, all day Thursday April 30th as well as at the kiosk in Piccadilly Mall. Dates and times will be posted at the kiosk and pledge forms will be available. For more information on how to participate, please call Gloria Lynd at 250-832-0481. With the many activities such as face painting, games and a BBQ, this is an entertaining and fun-filled event for the whole family! Come out and get moving on Mother’s Day!

Get them thinking about nature

With the big push to get kids back outside, there are more and more urgings for educators, parents and guardians to engage children in nature. Yet, for those of us who may not spend much time in the great outdoors ourselves, how do we know where to start? It’s not as hard as you may think. Nature can be explored anywhere. One does not have to commit to trudging deep into a forest to find evidence of nature at work. A local park, school yard or backyard provides all that is needed to introduce a child to the wonders of the natural world. Grass, leaves, pine-

cones or dandelions are ideal places to start. Using ‘how’ or ‘what’ questions can encourage children to come up with their own ideas of what nature is about. For example “how did this leaf get here on the ground?” “What would make this dandelion grow up through the concrete?” Just engaging children in discussion will get their mind headed in the right direction and with these types of questions, there are no wrong answers. The important piece is to get their minds thinking about nature and let it evolve from there.

More haskap info

Last week I wrote about haskap berry production and a day conference that was held in order to bring the information about this tasty little berry to prospective growers in Salmon Arm and area. This conference was very informative and I have to give credit to Salmon Arm Economic Development for a job well done in organizing and securing funding to hold the conference from several sources including Growing Forward 2 (an initiative between MOA of BC, and the Canadian Federal Government) Farm Credit Canada, Community Futures and the CSRD. Another player, High Mountain Farm, was not only a financial contributor to the conference, but High Mountain Farm is a goldmine of information on the growing, harvesting, and sales of haskap berries. High Mountain Farm also sells haskap bushes to both home gardeners and people interested in getting into growing haskap berries on a larger scale.

EXACTLY 40 YEARS AGO, THIS PAPER HAD THE FIRST FEMALE MOUNTIE ON THE FRONT PAGE It was the March 25, 1975 issue, and Const. Bev MacDonald had just graduated from RCMP training in Regina. She was one of 32 women in the class, and her first posting was to Salmon Arm. This paper, then called Shoppers’ Guide, had a front page picture of Bev standing beside a police car. She later obtained a law degree at SFU, progressed to top Mountie in B.C. and Yukon, Deputy Commissioner overseeing 5,000 officers, worked three years as top cop in Saskatchewan, and spent seven months as top Mountie for all of Canada, as Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Now Bev Busson, she is retired in Blind Bay and will be the guest speaker at the May meeting of Salmon Arm Citizens’ Patrol. “LADY, YOU’RE THAT NEW LADY POLICE OFFICER. YOU’RE LOST, THE POLICE STATION’S OVER THIS WAY” In 2004, at the 30th anniversary reunion of women in the RCMP, Bev Busson related some of her experiences, and many were published in the Halifax Chronicle Herald. She related her first arrest, of a drunken man wandering along the Trans Canada Highway in Salmon Arm. “So I get him in the car and I was so proud of myself.” It’s six blocks back to the office but she drove around town for about five minutes so everybody could see him in the back of the car with her in the front. The man thought she was lost, so he gave her directions back to the jail. “Lady you’re that new lady police officer. You’re lost, the police station’s over this way.” SECOND ISSUE HAD TWO HALF-PAGE ADS PLACED BY ALLWOODS AND ROHLFS The March 25, 1975 issue of Shoppers’ Guide had an impressive 21 business advertisements. Two were halfpage in size. One was from Salmon Arm Stationery & Office Supplies, owned by Pat and Erica Allwood. In January and February, they partnered with Salmon Arm Laundromat, Dry Cleaning & Car Wash, which Jim and I owned, and we produced a monthly flyer that brought so much business to both, that I was encouraged to take over the flyer myself. With their encouragement, I started the paper. The other half-page ad was for the grand opening of Westmount Acres, a mobile home park at Mara that was developed by Linda and the late Gunther Rohlfs. Linda was a teacher at Carlin Elementary School at the time. In 1982 she left teaching and went into full-time real estate sales. She’s been a proud realtor for 33 years. CONGRATULATIONS, DOWNTOWN SALMON ARM AND S.A. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Downtown Salmon Arm and Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce had a combined advertisement called Business Matters on page 9 of the March 20, 2015 Lakeshore News. The size was 4 1/4” x 6 ½”. I have been president of both non-profit, membership driven organizations in my younger days, and have known them to operate independently. There is strength in numbers. Both groups work to make Salmon Arm a better place to live, work and play. Logos and website URLs are at the bottom of the ad, along with an invitation to be a member and support progress. To see the ad, go to www.lakeshorenews. bc.ca, click on e-edition and go to March 20.

SILENCING THE ROOSTER Two neighbours wrote me their complaint about the noisy rooster on Okanagan Avenue and I took both letters to city hall for the bylaw enforcement officer. A customer service rep wrote me that the city cannot accept them as notices of complaint. The individuals had to file a complaint at city hall in person, or use the standard complaint form from the city’s website, www.salmonarm.ca. BUY ADVANCE TICKETS TO ENDERBY’S HEALTH & FITNESS SHOW ON APRIL 11 You can visit the vendors at the Health & Fitness show at Enderby’s AL Fortune School at no charge, but you can hear the three speakers by purchasing a $20 advance ticket at the Stocking Up Shop in Enderby or by calling Sharon at 250-253-8307, or you can pay $30 at the door on Sat., April 11. The money will be used to rent the school and pay the speakers. The theme of the 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. show is “Transform your path to better health.” Details on Facebook at Taylored Events. More vendors are welcome. RELAY FOR LIFE IS NOT AN ALL-NIGHTER Relay for Life, in which teams walk a track in memory of someone who died of cancer, will be held from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on June 13. This year the event will be held at the Elk’s Hall, 3690 30 St NE. Registration is $20. For more details, go to FaceBook: Relay For Life-Salmon Arm. WATCH HERONS IN STANLEY PARK A heron camera was installed on the roof of Park Board offices on Beach Avenue in Vancouver. It is a remotely controlled wireless camera that gives you a bird’s eye view of the drama in the trees where blue herons are nesting. Go to www.vancouver.ca/heron cam. Click on the icons at lower right and you will have one minute to control the camera. The best view is pointed at Tree B, nests 4 or 5. You might have to join a queue to take control of the camera. Once you have control, there will be a 60-second countdown. Fog and wind may affect viewing conditions. Once trees are in leaf, the nests will not be visible. The website states the heron cam was installed to educate the public and build support for B.C.’s Pacific great blue herons, which have been designated as a species at risk. Birds are an excellent barometer of a healthy ecosystem and building awareness is a primary objective of the Vancouver Bird Strategy. BREAD-BAKING DAY WAS LOVED & HATED I baked bread last week. When I was young, coming home from school on the day our mother baked bread was wonderful! The whole house smelled of freshly-baked bread, and we could eat deep-fried bread dough, also called bannock. I continue making bannock when I bake bread. It’s my grandchildren’s favourite when I visit. They use the Ukrainian name. “Baba, let’s make keexlicke!” But bread-baking day of my youth had a job I hated: washing the large blue enamel bread pan that held enough dough for 10 loaves. The sides had crusted dough that took a while to soak and scrape. I recalled the job last week when I was washing my largest stainless steel pot that held enough dough for 5 loaves. I should have washed it as soon as I formed the loaves, and not waited till it had crusted sides.

SILENT AUCTION FOR MISSION TO UKRAINE I took a two-hour shift at the silent auction in Piccadilly last Saturday, where money raised will go to build a trade school in Ukraine for orphan kids aged 18-20. They will be able to go from street to dorms, and learn a trade. The auction is there today and tomorrow, ending at 5 p.m. Saturday, March 28. In 2004, I accompanied a team of volunteers from Salmon Arm’s Broadview Church on a mission to orphanages in Ukraine. The two weeks in eastern Ukraine gave me an experience I will never forget. The kids in one orphanage and the physically and mentally handicapped kids and adults in another, greeted Jack Stefanyk and the team with great enthusiasm. Money we had brought from Salmon Arm’s fundraising provided them with much-needed supplies, equipment, and treats like ice-cream. The present conflict in eastern Ukraine, where Russia is trying to take over an area with much industry, is near Dniepropetrovsk, where the mission team spent two weeks. I know where fighting is taking place. For over a year, I have been searching the web every morning and evening, to see what is happening in Ukraine. My heart aches as I watch the countryside and cities trashed, and hear the count of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians being killed. Adolph Putin is close to starting WW3. NEW RULES SHORTEN BUSINESS MEETINGS Will minutes of a meeting no longer record the mover and seconder of a motion? That’s what I learned at a noon business meeting I attended recently. It’s for privacy reasons, we were told. It may also be to save time at a meeting, like eliminating a mover and seconder during elections at an AGM after the chair calls for any further nominations three times and no one responds. The chair says, “Hearing none, I declare…” With a regular motion, the chair can eliminate asking for a seconder, and go right to asking for those in favour. If most are in favour, why ask if any are against? That would save time. On the web, www.rulesonline.com says the chair doesn’t have to wait for a routine motion to be seconded if it is favoured by others. Regarding a treasurer’s report, no motion is needed. It is simply received as it is given and no motion should be made to adopt, accept or approve unless an audited report is given at an AGM. Who remembers when I taught a class in parliamentary procedure during my years in Toastmasters? It was promoted as learning how to have short business meetings, then enjoying whatever the reason for the organization. Roberts Rules of Order is a living, breathing document that has been revised 10 times.

Defend Canada by saying NO to Bill C-51

On Saturday, March 14th, we witnessed a rare phenomenon. Canadians from coast to coast protested in the streets at over 50 locations to denounce Bill C-51, the government’s new anti-terrorism legislation. Online at stopc51.ca, over 100,000 Canadians have signed an online petition against Bill C-51. This is a reaction we have not seen in Canada in a long time. The list of Canadians speaking out against this bill is growing every day and includes such knowledgeable and prominent voices as former Prime Ministers Chretien (who was in power during 9/11), Martin, Clark (a conservative) and Turner, former Supreme Court Justices, former Ministers of Justice, a former CSIS officer, a former RCMP watchdog, over a hundred academics, and so many more. The Privacy Commissioners from every province and territory in Canada have penned an extensive letter pointing out the dangers of the legislation. The Globe and Mail has written an editorial titled, “Parliament must reject Harper’s secret policeman bill.” In short, the people who are deeply informed about this bill are deeply troubled by it.

There are many concerns with Bill C-51. The website stopc51.ca has summarized Bill C-51 as being: • Reckless. It turns CSIS into a ‘secret police’ force with little oversight or accountability. • Dangerous. It opens the door for violations of our Charter rights including censorship of free expression online. • Ineffective. It will lead to dragnet surveillance and information sharing on innocent Canadians that is not effective. The Conservative government is rushing through a deeply-flawed piece of legislation that will impact on the privacy rights and freedoms of every Canadian. The government has failed to provide evidence of either the need or effectiveness of these powers and has failed to provide oversight to prevent abuses of the new powers. With an election right around the corner, the timing is also suspicious. Our MP recently sent out a letter to the local papers titled, “Our duty to defend Canada.” In my opinion this is best accomplished by opposing Bill C-51. Tobiah Riley, Salmon Arm

Wi-fi a global experiment

There is no denying that anyone living in an urban environment in today’s society is immersed in ‘electrosmog’ which is invisible and cannot be smelled, felt, heard or tasted. Last Saturday at the Seniors 5th Avenue Activity Centre in Salmon Arm, well over 100 folk gathered to hear two experts offer irrefutable, scientific proof how some cancers, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, sleep disturbances, cognitive disorders, childhood learning and behavioural disorders, male impotency and many other negative health maladies have a direct link to the electromagnetic technology dominating civilizations today. Dr. Malcolm Patterson PhD, renowned cancer researcher and Dr. Ross Anderson, DC/ND, an environmental consultant each gave dynamic, illustrated presentations on the dangers, scientific risks and how to protect oneself and family members from the impact of radiation from all wireless devices including cell phones & cell towers, smart meters, routers, antennae, dirty electricity, cordless phones, baby monitors and Wi-fi in schools, hospitals, libraries & other public places.

SHUSWAP

Who are the women running companies and small enterprises? What drives them and makes them successful? Common traits Some women seem to have it in their blood; it is as though they were born to be businesspeople. Generally, these women are go-getters. They are driven and they love taking charge. Without trying to stubbornly impose their point of view, they enjoy the art of persuasive argument and getting others to share in their vision of the world. These women are driven by their self-confidence and their belief in their skills. Chief motivations Women who choose to go into business appear to share a number of common motives. Firstly, they share a desire to reach their potential without constraints and to let their creativity run free. Business women often choose to go out on their own because of their frustrations with the limitations of the business world or typical work environments. Secondly, time management is another common motivation. Managing your own schedule allows you to invest your energy in the right places and at the right times. Being financially independent also fuels women to create their own businesses. Being business owners means being able to reap every dollar generated by their determined efforts.

As usual it was a case of the ‘minister preaching to the choir’, most faces familiar at other presentations and the remarkable absence of authority figures, political or medical personnel who might have gleaned some useful & important information to pass on to constituents & patients. It seems that Profit & Greed remain the critical factors and the health and welfare of humanity and its inherent rights are largely ignored. Society’s most vulnerable, the youth, the elderly, the sick and the disadvantaged are overlooked. The conclusion following the lengthy afternoon of demonstrations was that wireless technology is an enormous global experiment in progress and mankind, having been given no knowledge of its method, is an innocent participant that has never been given an opportunity to offer its consent. No precautionary principle has ever been invoked by any authority in the process. A potluck supper followed with many group discussions and follow-up questions and answers fielded by Drs. Patterson and Anderson. Edgar Murdoch, Enderby

So many victories behind us, so many challenges to come There is no denying the progress Canadian women have made in filling positions of power over the decades, whether in business or politics.

of directors. In Canada, almost half of the boards of directors of large companies include only one woman, and only six percent include two or more.

Before 1918, women in Canada didn’t even have the right to vote in federal elections! Since then, they have not ceased to take huge strides in their quest for equality in education, in personal and legal relationships, and in business. But many more challenges remain.

Will the increasing numbers of women registering at our universities change this situation over the next few years? Let’s hope it will, but in the meantime, we must continue to support those who already hold decision-making jobs or who have set their sights on them.

Another place where the glass ceiling continues to prevent Canadian women from achieving their fair share of power is in boardrooms: women are notably under-represented on private sector and public boards

This requires the ability to surround oneself with good people who can be trusted and who possess complementary strengths to your own.

Abbott dumped as BC Treaty Commission head

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press The B.C. cabinet has refused to appoint George Abbott as the next Chief Commissioner of the B.C. Tr e a t y Commission, leaving the position vacant as of April 1. Cabinet ministers were tight-lipped about the reason for the sudden reversal on appointing Abbott, who was approached about the job six months ago by Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad. Rustad issued a statement saying only that a search will begin for a new appointee, emphasizing the “critical importance” of the Treaty Commission’s

work towards dozens of unresolved land claims negotiations. Health Minister Terry Lake told Kamloops This Week that he and his colleagues are bound by cabinet confidentiality on the reasons for the last-minute decision. Abbott’s

RESP refresher

Last week we reminded you of the BC Training & Education Savings Grant (BCTESG) that the provincial government announced two years ago for people who have a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). This week we want to do our annual reminder of just how the Registered Education Savings Plan works. If you want to put money away for a child’s education, the RESP is the way to go! Here is an overview. • Parents and grandparents can create and contribute to a child’s RESP. In fact, this is a great gift idea for birthdays or Christmas instead of a cheap toy. Your child or grandchild will probably give you a funny look, but they will get over it and learn to appreciate it later in life. • The biggest benefit to the RESP is the “free” money the federal government throws in when you contribute some of your own. This is called the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG). For every dollar you contribute, the CESG adds 20% to a maximum of $500 per year, per child, until the child reaches age 17. For example, to maximize the grant in a given year you would need to make a contribution of $2,500 to receive the maximum basic grant of $500. If you miss a year or two of contributions, the government allows you to make it up with RESP contributions of up to $5,000 in a given year entitling you to a basic grant of $1,000. • If your family net income is lower than ~$88,000, you can qualify for additional CESG. The additional CESG is 10% of the first $500 if your net family income is between ~$44,000 and ~$88,000 for 2015. If it is below ~$44,000 then you receive an additional 20% on the first $500 contributed annually. More “free” money! • Contributions for an RESP are subject to a lifetime maximum CESG of $7,200 per child. • Unlike RSPs, RESP contributions are not tax-deductible. However, investment income and gains generated within the RESP are allowed to grow on a tax-deferred basis; meaning it is

appointment had already been approved by the federal government and the First Nations Summit, who share jurisdiction over the Tr e a t y Commission with the province. Outgoing Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre, who agreed to a three-year extension of her term to keep the 20-year-old treaty talks moving ahead, praised Abbott as “a man of integrity, intelligence and extensive experience” who was prepared to make progress. “This retraction of the Chief Commissioner

selection after months of agreement, expectation and reliance by other parties, raises questions about B.C.’s commitment to the treaty negotiation process,” Pierre said. In recent years, Pierre criticized the B.C. government’s emphasis on interim resource agreements to push mining and gas development. Fellow commissioner Dave Haggard has warned that abandoning the slow and costly treaty talks with Ottawa means going back to court on unresolved treaties. The official silence over the sudden reversal has fuelled speculation by Abbott and others that it was due to Premier Christy

Clark’s bitterness from the 2012 B.C. Liberal leadership contest, where Abbott finished third behind Clark and Kevin Falcon. Both Falcon and Abbott left politics after clashing repeatedly with Clark about the handling of the harmonized sales tax referendum and other issues. Nearly all MLAs from former premier Gordon Campbell’s government endorsed either Falcon or Abbott in the leadership contest.

taxable, but not until the income is withdrawn. • When RESP funds are used for post-secondary education costs, the income and CESG portion in the plan will be included in your child’s taxable income. Normally this results in little or no tax as most students have a lower income and will be eligible for the tuition and education tax credits. • If your child doesn’t pursue post-secondary studies, the income and growth can be rolled over tax-free into your RRSP or a spousal RRSP, provided that contribution room is available. However, the CESG portion of the funds must be returned to the government. In summary, when the government is giving out “free” money, you want to take advantage of it!

Book sale a labour of love for the animals A12 Friday, March 27, 2015 Lakeshore News

For the past 21 years Celia Harris (below) has been in charge of the annual book sale of the Shuswap Branch of the BCSPCA. Over the last two decades, this huge book sale has been a popular event for book lovers, and a main source of revenue for the Shuswap animal adoption centre. “It’s our second-largest fundraiser.

The largest one is the Paws for a Cause walk, but this is the second biggest,” says Celia. “The money stays here; it’s used locally.” The money is used to cover monthly expenses, she explains. It’s about keeping the shelter running and providing the animals with basic comfort such as heat in the winter or necessary veterinary visits.

“Sometimes if we get an injured dog, we can use our entire monthly vet budget at one time. We often go over budget on the vet bill. We need to fill that gap.” The local SPCA has heated floors for the comfort of the animals. “We’re one of the few shelters that does have heated floors, and we have little air conditioners for the summer.” Many who ‘work’ at the shelter are volunteers, but the money that goes to salaries is paid from the SPCA head office, so the money raised locally is all about covering other expenses that directly affect the health and well-being of the animals. The book sale isn’t until May 1 and 2, but the gathering and sorting of books is well underway. Celia says local residents are very generous in their donations, but so many books come in aren’t suitable

for the sale, and she is hoping that people will be a little more discerning before dropping them off. “Unfortunately about 40 per cent of donations are unsuitable. Books need to be clean and not smelling musty after storage in a damp place. The material for sciences needs to be contemporary. Sadly, computer manuals are often out of date within a year of publication. Text books rapidly go out of date and are not useful. Magazines and Reader’s Digests are not accepted for the sale, as they do not sell well and are not profitable. Logistically, magazines are very heavy to pack.” Celia says books not acceptable for the sale pose a lot of work and expense for the volunteers as the recycling of books is problematic at present. “The recycling businesses will not accept books. The CSRD is sensitive to this problem and Carmen Fennell (Waste Production Facilitator, CSRD) is working on a solution. Hopefully it will be implemented soon.” In the meantime, Celia is hoping people will donate only those kinds of books that will sell to save the volunteers a lot of labour and expense. “One person sorts and prices the books, to ensure consistency; and then, the evening before the sale, volunteers pick them up and deliver to the mall. Volunteers then unpack and arrange them. They keep a list of the number of boxes per category and the tables are allocated accordingly.” One of the reasons this sale is so popular is due to the work behind the scenes. Everything is already categorized and priced (right). Non-fiction subjects include Canada, biography, literature, philosophy, inspirational, animals, cookbooks and true crime; in addition to sport, crafts, gardening, travel, history etc. Canada is sub-catego-

rized into a British Columbia section. Fiction categories include spy/thriller, mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, western and children’s books. “It’s interesting what subjects sell and which do not. Biography isn’t popular, despite many interesting people being written about. Literature includes classics, for example, Jane Austen, D.H. Lawrence etc. yet sadly this category does not sell well. Some very special books are donated, many “art” books with amazing reproductions. These are not displayed at the sale but sold via the internet.” Over her lifetime, Celia has lived in New Zealand, Australia, England and the one constant has been her involvement in helping animals. When Celia and her husband, Wayne, moved to Canada in 1989 she was terribly homesick for New Zealand. After two years in Victoria, Wayne was offered a job teaching at Okanagan College in Salmon Arm. They moved to Deep Creek and they both loved the area but she was still missing New Zealand. Canada was lovely, but she didn’t feel like she belonged. “Then came the fire in ’98. It gives me the warm fuzzies,” she says, laughing at the

way she describes how that event changed everything for her in a positive way. It took that disaster to see how wonderful and supportive the community was. “All the people who helped and who wanted to help. After all that wandering, I felt I was home.” After that she became an active volunteer in the Shuswap Emergency Program. She is also the unit chief of Ranchero/ Deep Creek First Responders (being also a retired registered nurse), and Wayne is a volunteer with the Ranchero Deep Creek Fire Department.

Right now many of Celia’s hours are spent sorting, categorizing and pricing books and she is hoping this year to not have so many unusable books. “I’m trying to get people to be aware of what we can use, and am thankful for your donations.” The BCSPCA sale is being held Friday May 1st 9-9 and May 2nd 9-3 at the Mall at Piccadilly. Donations of quality books may be left outside the Adoption Centre on Auto Road, at any time until April 22nd. If you have any questions please contact Celia Harris 250-8323057. Photos contributed.

Haskap berries too good to be true?

Please don’t think that I enjoy raining on peoples’ parades. I’m only trying to save them money. I can think of half a dozen similar berries that were hailed as the next elixir of life and road to instant prosperity in the last decade. Sea Buckthorn and Goji were the last two. Where are they now? Probably in the same place as the emus that my brother’s neighbour installed with similar promises of untold wealth: he ended up shooting them and dumping them in the ravine at the back of his farm.

The hype and the numbers simply don’t pass the smell test. Either the price will drop to that of blueberries by the time your crop comes in, or there is some problem which nobody talks about like early blooming, meaning that the flowers are frost sensitive, and/or according to a three minute Google search, require a fungicide application because the buds are very sensitive to fugal pathogens in a damp spring. Plus, you need nets to keep the robins and waxwings away.... The bottom line is, “If something appears to be too good to be true, then it probably is.” Richard Smiley, Anglemont

RDNO offers workshop to utilize rainwater

Water, water, everywhere – but not where you want it! Greater Vernon Water (GVW), in partnership with the City of Vernon and through the support of a Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Blue Water Project and Okanagan Basin Water Board Grant, is hosting a half-day workshop on March 30th on the design and construction of a unique type of waterwise landscaping, rain gardens. These gardens are irrigated by rain and stormwater run-off, taking advantage of water running off buildings, paved surfaces (like sidewalks or roadways), or pooling in yards. These unique landscape features are an aesthetically pleasing option for addressing drainage and run-off issues. Even in a dry climate, stormwater run-off can cause flooding problems. Once established, rain gardens often need little to no additional irrigation, making them a low maintenance water-wise landscape feature. This workshop is aimed at those in the business of landscape or irrigation management, construction, and installation, including municipal and commercial landscape professionals. Attendees will learn how to: • Utilize stormwater for irrigation, • Adapt the landscape to sustain, protect and

enhance habitat, • Design a rain garden adapted to Okanagan specific, specialized installations, • Make plant choices which provide year-round interest and lower maintenance costs. The workshop takes place Mon. March 30, 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Polson Park Heritage Hall (at the Xerindipity Garden next to the Okanagan Science Centre) Pre-registration is required as space is limited. Call Ms. Zoe Kirk: 1-877-610-3737 ext. 4110 or email zkirk@rdos.bc.ca to register.

Composter rebates

The RDNO will offer a $30 rebate to North Okanagan residents who purchase an approved composter at a participating retailer between now and September 30th. Participating retailers are: Shepherd’s Home Hardware Building Centre in Armstrong; Central Hardware Timber Mart in Enderby; Irly Bird Building Centres in Lumby; Briteland Holdings Ltd., RONA Home Centre, Fishers Hardware Ltd., Canadian Tire, Swan Lake Nurseryland, and Home Building Centre in Vernon.

Contemporary ﬁlm series ends on a high note

Okanagan College’s “(Contemporary) Classics at the Classics” not-for-profit film series ends on Monday night (the 30th) with a closing night double bill at the historic Salmar Classic. At 5:00 p.m. the organizers will be screening the animated, family-friendly Wes Anderson film “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” followed at 7:30 p.m. with Terrence Malick’s magnum opus, “The Tree of Life.” Admission to both of these films is free with a donation of non-perishable food items for the Second Harvest Food Bank. “One of the aims of the series this year has been to select a range of films that will appeal both to OC students and to the wider Salmon Arm film-going community, so it is fitting that the series end with a night when we show two films that everyone in town can come down and enjoy regardless of their age,” says Okanagan College Film professor Dr. Tim Walters, who introduces each film in the series. “As we’ve been the beneficiary of generous support of the series from OC, the

Salmar Community Association, and the good folks at Pinz Tattoos, we are able to offer free admission to both films with a donation to the Second Harvest Food Bank, and I feel very fortunate and appreciative that we can end the season by helping out a group that do great work in our community.” Wes Anderson’s 2009 hit “Fantastic Mr. Fox” is an animated adaptation of the beloved Roald Dahl novel of the same name, and follows the attempts by Mr. Fox to save his family and friends from angry farmers. Featuring an all-star cast of voice actors (including George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray) and the usual quirky Wes Anderson style and humor, this is a fun, smart, fast-moving film that will be enjoyed by kids of all ages. The final film of the series is Terrence Malick’s 2011 epic “The Tree of Life,” a hugely ambitious and visually overwhelming film painted on a massive canvas which rightly earned the most sought after prize in the movie world, the Palme

d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Starting from the story of a couple (Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain) raising two small children in small town 1950’s Texas, Malick’s film explodes in scope to follow the growth of this family in parallel with that of the entire history of life in our universe through stunning visual images and a magnificent orchestral soundtrack. Unsurpassed in the grandeur and beauty of its composition, and in its philosophical aspirations, this is a film for lovers of pure cinema. “I was very keen to end the series on a very high note,” say Walters, “and it doesn’t get much higher than ‘The Tree of Life,’ which for my money is a stone-cold masterpiece, a jaw-dropping experience in the cinema (which doesn’t happen nearly often enough), and the only film made in the 21st century that is seriously in the conversation about being the greatest film ever made. It’s really that good.”

by Emily Garrett Lilting, Merchants of Doubt

Lilting: Shortly after being put into a home in contemporary London, Cambodian Chinese Junn’s (Pei-Pei Chang) life and mourning for the untimely loss of her son Kai (Andrew Leung) is disrupted by the arrival of Richard (Ben Whishaw), a stranger who introduces himself as Kai’s friend. Though trying to respect the fact that Kai never told his mother he was gay or that they were the love of each other’s lives, Richard begins to piece together the memories of Kai with Junn so they might help each other through their tremendous grief. Lilting screens Saturday, March 28 at 5:00 and 7:30 p.m. at the Salmar Classic. Merchants of Doubt: Inspired by the acclaimed book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, documentary filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the curtain on a secretive group of highly charismatic, silver-tongued pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities - yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change. The film integrates recent history, similar industries and a wide-range of interviews in presenting its own point of view. Merchants of Doubt screens Wednesday, April 1, 7:30 p.m. at the Salmar Classic.

No fuchsia living room for me

I don’t wear bright colours. Well almost never, and if you see me in a bright colour it’s probably fuchsia. I found out a long time ago that limiting my wardrobe colours makes dressing, shopping and coordinating a lot easier. I also feel calmer in monochromatic, low-contrast colours. My living room is sort of the same way; its fairly monochromatic except for the stuff. I live in my living room; there are guitars and books and a chainmail making station, the TV, the bookcases – and, of course, the general day-to-day detritus. The fact that the furniture is low-contrast helps keep the room somewhat calm. I’m getting to the point. The other grey, rainy day I thought, “I’m going to do new slipcovers for the living room, and I’m going to make them fuchsia.” I went online to my favorite fabric supplier and by golly, he had the perfect fuchsia twill. I was just about to hit the Buy button when I remembered that perhaps I should take a lesson from my own book and test this colour out first. So I went to the fabric stash and pulled out a large piece of fuchsia linen and draped it over one wing chair. The colour was lovely, it mirrored the pink in Granny’s needlepoint displayed beside it and I was enthralled. But, again, taking a page from my own lesson book, I left it alone for the day. Next morning I walked into the living room and was startled at the big expanse of hot pink. It did all the things I rail against; it was high-contrast and had become the focal point of the corner. It took over all the visual space in the room and just

hollered, “Look at me, look at me!” And I thought, Holy Moly, what if I did the sofa and the other chair in this colour? The room would be so busy it would drive me nuts. My protege Tracy said I should maybe just do a few pillows and a throw for the sofa; maybe a new area rug. The teacher is chagrined. There are quite a few free websites that allow you to upload a picture of your room and paint the walls or a chair so you can see what the outcome will be before you plunge. That’s for people who don’t have 5-metre cuts of fabric in their stash. I’ll post some links to these sites on Designsewlutions.ca.

“Limericks”

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Anna Rabi attends the Fletcher Park Seniors’ Centre, Friday Day Away group, and wrote this poem for the group.

All the people attending “Day Away” Really like to laugh and play Mentally, we kick up our heels Just to remember how it feels While looking forward to a great day.

While greeting each other- keeping in touch. Then Susan has games and crafts galore We never know what she has in store Before we all settle down, ready for lunch. At present we have only one “rooster” in the “hen” house! Who bravely joins us ladies – he’s no mouse! When all is said and done He takes part in all the fun. We gladly welcome him in this house.

Norm and HandyDart collets us all Carefully sitting us so we don’t fall We safely arrive, full of chatter Amidst all the clickety clatter As with walkers or canes we enter the Hall. Lois collects our money near the door As we flock in over the floor It’s really not very high stakes As our money she smiles and takes It’s for our lunch- that’s what it’s for. Susan our fearless “activities” leader, Knows we all love her and need her. She works hard and long With a smile and a song As she joyously becomes our “crafty teacher” First we have coffee and goodies to munch

As “literature” my nonsense rhymes are rather dire So, as author, for sure, you

should fire! I mentioned “limericks” and gave it a whirl While ideas in my head spun in a twirl So before you fire me- I quit! I retire!

Meditations

The Fool hath said…… Psalm 53:1, The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Psalms 14, Romans 1:18-25.

e are without excuse. God, the Creator has left us millions of undeniable proofs in his creation that it was He who brought this all into being. From the unique positioning of the earth in relation to the sun and moon, to the fascinating information that biologists are finding about the makeup of the human cell: it all testifies to an all powerful Creator. The sad thing is that unbelieving scientists are more interested in propping up their failing theories of evolution and materialistic naturalism than they are in knowing the truth. Even though more and more scientists are admitting that they are seeing the proof of an intelligent mind behind the things they discover, unbelievers go on in their foolish denials. We wish they would be more honest, and go where the information leads. This is really quite easy to understand. If you saw ten pennies scattered on the ground you could be sure they fell from someones hand or pocket, or possibly someone threw them there because they can not buy anything anymore. (At least not in Canada). But if you saw a neat stack of pennies on the ground you could be sure that someone stacked them there. Pennies do not stack themselves into little piles. A billion years of time does nothing to help stack little piles of pennies here and there, without an intelligent mind behind the action. Let’s be honest with ourselves and with God. There are things much more complex than stacks of pennies all over the creation that give undeniable testimony to the veracity of the Creator God. Rather than denying him, why don’t you start praising him. Stop being a fool.

James Baer.

O Lord, how great are thy works! And thy thoughts are very deep. A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. Psalm 92:6-7

JESYKJA-ROSE MAGENTA COOPER 1993 - 2015

Jesykja-Rose Magenta Cooper, a mother, partner, daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and friend, died at home in Canoe, BC on March 14, 2015 at the age of 21. Jesykja is survived by her beautiful 4 year old daughter, Sunni Rose Cooper (Ducharme); her partner, Steve Beers; her parents, Rae and Tor Cooper; her grandparents, Paul & Sherry Lundholm; siblings Bari (Mike) Leonard, Jennifer Cooper-Lamb (Matt) of Kimberly, BC, Scott (Tessa) of Edson, AB, and Rory Blair (Lauren) of Kamloops, BC as well as a special mention of her friend of many years and the father of her daughter, Darcy Ducharme of Salmon Arm, BC. Jes had many aunts and uncles, cousins and in-laws, nieces and nephews, friends and acquaintances. She especially loved her siblings’ children, Dylan, Leland & Emily Cooper, Colton & Blair Leonard, Hawk & Wolf Cooper-Lamb, and Maycee Ducharme. Jesykja was born in Salmon Arm on November 29, 1993. The youngest of five, Jesykja brought an energy and spark to her busy family. She grew up a child of the mountains; athletic and bold, never happier than at the top of the tallest tree or swimming in a glacier-fed lake. She was equally at home running with horses or riding on a motorcycle with her Dad. Jesykja was a loving and loyal woman. In 2010 she gave birth to her beautiful daughter Sunni who was her “Ray of Sunshine”. She enjoyed singing and song-writing, travel and home. She especially loved to travel with Steve and had aspirations to visit all corners of the globe. She loved animals and spent many hours with her and Steve’s Rottweiler Khuda and her cat “Cardi”. Jesykja was the kind of person who always remembered to call for birthdays and holidays and sometimes, just because she could. She was a dreamer with many goals and ambitions. She was not afraid to try new things or meet new people. Jesykja was blessed with an open heart and was never quick to judge others but instead embraced the opportunity to learn something new. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. A memorial service is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on March 28 at Shuswap Community Church, 3151 – 6th Avenue NE, Salmon Arm, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity will be welcomed with gratitude; either a charity of your choice or to the charities that touched her heart and life, Salmon Arm Rescue Unit – Attention: Tim Alstead or the Southern Interior Rotary Lodge – owned and operated by the Canadian Cancer Society, BC Yukon Division, Kelowna BC. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium, Salmon Arm, (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories of Jes through her obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

Clarification on left lane driving

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press Drivers must vacate the left lane when a vehicle comes up behind them, unless they are passing another vehicle, avoiding debris on the road, allowing traffic to merge from the right, preparing to turn left

or passing an official vehicle stopped on the highway. That will be the rule any time when the speed limit is 80 km/h or higher and traffic is moving at more than 50 km/h, under changes coming to the Motor Vehicle Act. Hogging the left

lane and holding up traffic is already a ticket offence, but one that police found difficult to enforce due to the wording of the legislation, said Transportation Minister Todd Stone. The fine continues to be $109 for unnecessary use of the left lane. Stone said slow drivers in the left lane are a big frustration, prompting drivers to pass on the right, which is also illegal. The changes are not intended to encourage people to exceed the speed limit in the left lane, he said. Amendments tabled in the B.C. legislature Monday also aim to clarify the province’s roadside driving prohibition law, after court challenges. That law gives police powers to impound vehicles and suspend driving privileges for up to 90 days after a driver blows a “warn” or “fail” level of blood alcohol on a roadside screening device. The “immediate roadside prohibition” program took effect in 2010, effectively replacing most impaired driving charges with administrative penalties, including a three-day driving ban and a $200 administrative fee for those who register between 0.05 and 0.08, if the police officer has reason to believe the driver is impaired.

Food ain’t what it used to be

Tonight’s menu – steak with baked potato, with a spinach salad on the side – sounds healthy enough. In the past decade, a meal like this would involve a dash of pesticide such as dimethoate (an organophosphate used to kill mites on vegetable plants) and permethrin. Sounds kind of scary, but there is growing scientific evidence that these and other chemicals we ingest, are known to cause neurological and reproductive damage, along with birth defects. Believe it or not, a group of flame retardants, also known as PBDE’s, have been found in farmed fish, sausage, cheese, milk, and butter; these can impair memory and learning ability, and alter hormone levels. But our government agencies have contended that the levels we Canadians receive are well below those that affect animals. Many of these pesticides we are exposed to come from fruits and vegetables originating in countries like Chile/Mexico, where pesticides can be heavily used. Here in Canada, there are guidelines for pesticides/herbicide usage, but on opening a new box of cereal recently, I thought of my goose/duck huntin’ buddies who ventured to a grain farm in Saskatchewan last fall for a shoot. Beside the farmer’s grain bins were dozens of empty buckets labeled “Round-Up,” which was used to spray wet patches of grain in low spots. This spraying kills the grain, which then can be combined quickly. When the kernels are milled, does this residue still cling to the grain milled into flour? A few short years ago, CN rail sprayed the herbicide “Spike” along the tracks between Armstrong and Kamloops. A farmer friend at Grandview Flats got permission to cut hay along the right-of-way two years later. The hay was baled and stored, then was fed to his many rabbits. The newborns came out deformed and mutated. When the hay was then tested, it still had residual herbicide. Although much has been said about GMO’s, there are other issues with our foods. We consume dairy products from cows treated with genetically-engineered growth hormones imported from the US. Beef cattle receive an implant behind the ear, to slow-release a hormone for growth. For salmon, research shows that engineered Atlantic salmon grown in Prince Edward Island grow twice as fast as those from land-based fish farms. Awhile back, chemical pesticide sprays used on apples could turn the colour of the apples a brighter red, and there were about seven different sprays used on a crop; from a blossom spray, to nicotine on cherries. I recall when the Forest Service gave permission to the large forestry companies to implement a hack/squirt system to rid alder and birch from the forest canopy, allowing greater growth of conifer species. Deer and moose depend on deciduous growth for winter survival, and on ingesting the leaves and foliage of the sprayed trees, began to get growths in their organs and on their bodies. I recall heading down to Rutland, to my father’s 15-acre apple orchard, before trapping season at Postill Lake Fishing Lodge, to help in harvesting the Winesap/Spartin apple crop. It took about 32 apple picking bags to fill a large plywood bin. SunRype gave him $12.95 a bin, classing his apples as juice apples. Because growers have received such poor prices, including the apples from Washington state that flood our market thanks to NAFTA free trade, most growers are now growing grapes, and SunRype brings its juice in from China. Kellogg’s has now closed its plant, and rumour has it that its cereal will be produced in China as well. Heaven forbid! It’s so important for us to realize that growing a garden, and avoiding pesticide use, will

undoubtedly improve our health. For the meats we consume, it is also important to enjoy the outdoor experience with hunting and fishing for natural meats and fish to feed the family. After all, the animals know what’s good for them! Here and there in the Shuswap Fishing: anglers are now out on our big lake targeting large rainbows feeding on the now migrating salmon fry. As well, many local lakes are now free of ice, so check them out to take the family fishing. Pollution: a quick stroll along the foreshore of Mara Lake at Swansea Point last week, revealed numerous bits of plastic and other material at the water’s edge (see photo at right). Cigarette butts are a major issue, left

shuswapoutdoors

from winter ice angling on Cariboo lakes. We picked up 27 butts in a small area on Bridge Lake last winter, and CO’s have laid charges because of it. Spring catches of trout have showed butts in fishes’ tummies. Please walk along the foreshore of your cottages or public beach areas and gather up all plastics and other material detrimental to birds fish and wildlife. Thanks, and great fishin’!
