Darrel Stinson honoured at Conservative AGM

With nearly one hundred past and present Conservative members looking on, former MP Darrel Stinson (pictured, centre) was awarded an Honourary Life Membership to the Board of Directors for the North Okanagan Shuswap Conservative Association during their AGM in Armstrong on the weekend. A plaque commemorating the Life Membership was presented by two of the oldest, and longest-serving members, Al Schalm and Fred Hislop, while longtime member Helen Stretch recognized the sacrifices of his wife, Cicely Stinson, with a bouquet of flowers. A cake, appropriately adorned with the trademark white Stetson, was also part of the celebration of Mr. Stinson’s thirteen-year service to this riding. Retiring Member of Parliament Colin Mayes (right) gave his final AGM speech as sitting MP to the attendees, sharing an overview of what his government had accomplished during his own ten year tenure in office which will end when the election is called in the Fall. Candidate Mel Arnold (left) had an opportunity to outline the efforts he will make on behalf of this riding, particularly in the areas of improved transportation corridors and family-sustaining jobs once he becomes MP. An election was necessary to choose the thirty member strong Board of Directors as there were more enthusiastic people willing to serve than seats on the Board. The new Directors then elected Lesly McMillan as Financial Agent, Lance Stoney as Secretary, and Linda Hawes was returned as President.

Following a report by Alistair Johnston, National Council Representative for BC, the members were free to spend time with MP Colin Mayes and Candidate Mel Arnold, and to share their memories and congratulations with

Darrel and Cicely Stinson. “I was completely surprised,” Mr. Stinson said later. “I had been told that I was the one making a presentation – not receiving one! Thank you very much to everyone.” Photo contributed.

Loyalty points targeted

PLEASE GIVE TO HELP THE DONKEYS.

Cotton and Sampson arrived in the fall of 2014 with such bad hooves that they were dragging their back feet. It took our Farrier 3 hours to do their first trim as he slowly trimmed and then let the donkeys rest in between. These two donkeys were neglected because they were caught up in a landlord/tenant dispute. Cotton and Sampson and over 90 more donkeys at the Refuge receive a safe and caring home with the gracious donations of our supporters.

Donkeys need foster care

The Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge is a nonprofit society whose mission is to provide a safe, secure and permanent home for abused, neglected and unwanted donkeys. Part of this mission is accomplished with the help of citizens in and about our community who provide a caring foster home for the donkeys and mules at the refuge. They currently have nine donkeys in foster care and they are are now taking applications from caring individuals who would be interested in providing

a temporary safe home for donkeys or mules. As with any other animal rescue efforts in Canada, foster care does have certain criteria that must be met; of which one of the most important is that the individual has a loving heart and is willing to work to provide a safe home for donkeys and mules in need. If you are interested in helping the donkeys, please contact Shirley Mainprize at 250-6792778 or email donkeyrefuge@ gmail.com. Photo contributed.

By Jeff Nagel, Black Press The regulatory body for B.C. pharmacists hasn’t given up on its agenda to ban pharmacies from handing out loyalty reward points on drug purchases. A ban imposed by the College of Pharmacists of B.C. was struck down in B.C. Supreme Court last summer, but an appeal filed by the college will be heard in December. The college argued loyalty points are a powerful lure for consumers that can alter their medication buying habits and potentially harm their health. It was fought in court by major supermarket chains. The judge in the trial ruled the ban on all loyalty incentives was “unreasonable” and concerns raised were “illogical.” College spokesman Mykle Ludvigsen wouldn’t comment on the grounds for appeal. One of the objections raised was that insured patients who don’t pay out-of-pocket might continue to refill a prescription after they no longer need it just to collect more points and the unneeded drugs may be abused or diverted to the illegal drug trade.

Bottle, can sorters needed

Volunteers are needed to sort donated recycling bottles and cans from approximately May 12th to July 12th. Sorting is done at the Adoption Centre on Auto Road and may be done on your own time. A brief training session will be provided. If you’d rather give your time working more directly with the animals, volunteers are also needed Sunday, Monday, and/or Tuesday to assist in dog kennel cleaning. Cat cleaners are required any day of the week. The dog cleaning

starts at 8:00 a.m. and cats between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. The task takes approximately two hours. A volunteer application form can be filled in online or picked up at the centre. Please give a few hours to help keep the animals clean and happy. The adoption centre is NOT a sad place, as many animals have living quarters and love they only dreamed about in their former life. Join the team who “speaks for the animals.” For information please call Celia at 250-832-3057.

U12 girls strong in Lake Country

By Andi King Shuswap FC U12 girls had a strong showing in Lake Country over the weekend as they defeated Kamloops Blue and Kamloops Orange. In the first game of the day, Shuswap came out firing and nearly capitalized on the first play of the game as Jordan King crossed the ball to Braidy Parks who fired a bullet that was just barely saved by a strong Kamloops keeper. Shuswap continued to apply pressure and pepper the Kamloops keeper with shots. The Sharp Shooters were soon rewarded when King made a crafty run up the wing and slotted the ball past the keeper with a far post shot. The score remained 1-0 at half. Kamloops came out strong in the second half but was kept at bay by a strong Shuswap midfield and defence led by Phoebe Barnes, Lys Milne, Jannae Bocking and Brooklyn Davidson. Shuswap continued to apply pressure of their own and made it 2-0 when Holly McCaskill battled her way to the net and managed to find the back of the net on a tough angle. The final score was 2-0.

In the second contest of the day, Shuswap played a very physical Kamloops Orange, but applied pressure early and hit a crossbar and a post in the first five minutes of play. King made it 1-0 after receiving the ball from a beautiful pass from Barnes. Kamloops responded quickly making 1-1. Shuswap opened the flood gates in the second half when King beat the Kamloops keeper with a beautiful shot near post. Kamloops continued to be very physical and fouled Shuswap forward Sophia Ruckle in the box resulting in a penalty kick. Barnes calmly found the back of the net, making it 3-1. Gabriella Torrie made it 4-1 with her first goal of the season with a beautiful shot far post. Alana O’Dell finished the scoring for Shuswap with a bullet of a shot on a breakaway making the final score 5-1 for Shuswap. Julia Hart, Milne, Bocking, and Davidson proved to be impenetrable on the backline. Hart and Parkes were exceptional in goal for both games.

familychiropractic COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

Growing a healthy family and community

We have recently moved houses, and one of my goals this year is to begin a small vegetable garden to grow more of our own food. In many of my weekly articles I return to the importance of a healthy diet for better overall health, and one of the best ways to do this is through growing your own organic fruits and vegetables. It is not uncommon for people to think they don’t have the space, time, or knowledge to grow their own food, but with a little preparation it can be an easy and rewarding activity that will improve the health of your family. From as little as a flower pot full of herbs on your deck or patio, you can start growing your own food. Then, as you become more confident, you can start growing more varieties in a small (or giant) garden. So, if you are not already growing your own food, here are a few great reasons to plant some seeds this spring. Quality: One simply has to bite into a carrot that has been pulled from the soil, washed with a garden hose, then consumed immediately to know there is a special quality to organic, pesticide-free vegetables you have grown yourself. Price: If you are like me, and shop for mostly organic vegetables and fruit, you will know it’s unfortunately not cheap to choose the best foods. However, compared to

the slight cost of good soil and some non-GMO seeds, one can grow healthier foods for much less than even the lowest sale prices in the stores. Access: We all have been preparing a meal when the recipe calls for a certain ingredient that we don’t have in the fridge. How convenient would it be to open the back door of the house and walk out to find that ingredient in our own soil? Increase in physical activity: Gardeners will say it is a “labour of love” because in reality, it does take some work to grow your own food. The benefit is, you are outside, active, and connecting with nature by getting your hands into the dirt. Just don’t start too big of a garden so it becomes overwhelming later in the season. Start slow and small, and gradually go larger if you like. Learning: Not only will you learn about the life cycles of our food, if you have a young family, gardening is a great activity to do with your children. They will feel a great sense of achievement when they help harvest and cook something that started out as only a tiny seed. The life skills they will learn are priceless. Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor who can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

This is a community-wide event for all parents, caregivers and those who work with children and youth. You’re invited to drop in to this Open House and learn more about Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use and the resources available in our area.

Lookingcloseat kidsinnature by Sky Stevens

Reconnect with nature

Recently, I had a book signing at the mall. I put out a table, covered it with leaves, sticks, bark, pinecones, etc., to reflect the theme of the curriculum-based children’s book I wrote : “Looking Close – Teaching Kids to Love the Earth.” I was amazed to witness how many children stopped to touch the natural pieces on the table. Almost every child that walked by stared, stopped, touched, or talked about these natural wonders. The odd parent allowed themselves to be drawn in to the fascination of their child; the majority urged their children on. I witnessed parents telling their child “not to touch,” “that’s dirty,” and one parent suggested there were germs on the bark and headed their child toward the washroom. I began to wonder if it really is the children who have lost touch with the natural world, or us as adults? In the flux of technology that has hit us hard and fast, in this era of fastpaced worlds, cell phones and internet, is our only connection with Nature a desktop image? Perhaps we can lead by example, mentor society’s children, and by getting ourselves outside to breathe, the next generation will follow.

MIDDLE AGE ENDS AT AGE 74 Boomers are living much longer now, so middle age ends at 74 and old age begins at 75. That was reported by actor Whoopi Goldberg on the TV program The View. In B.C., seniors now make up 17 per cent of the population. A year ago, an official advocate was hired to help the provincial government shape policies that affect people later in life. Her name is Isobel Mackenzie and she was in Kelowna recently where she met with seniors. SORRENTO LIONS ARE ABOUT MY AGE Last Friday morning Sorrento Lions served breakfast during the first outdoor farmers’ market of the season in Salmon Arm. They served because there is no Lions Club in Salmon Arm. They provided excellent pancakes, sausages, juice and coffee, and great conversation at my table. I told the eight members my age and asked if they were older or younger. Five were younger and three were older. They welcome new members, men and women who want to serve their community. Call John Howat at 250-675-5342 or Terry Timms at 250-675-3030. Meetings are at 7 p.m. the first and third Thursdays at Sorrento Memorial Hall. IT’S TIME TO RETIRE THE SENIORS’ DISCOUNT Many older Canadians are better off than their kids, so it might be time to end seniors’ discounts and switch to a new system in which all low-income earners are eligible for price breaks. A Montreal think tank, the Institute for Research on Public Policy, released its report after a oneyear study of municipalities with many seniors. Economist Harry Kitchen reported: “If you use a service, you should pay the cost of that service. What you pay for that service should not be dependent on age.” IN ONE WEEK, GET A FABULOUS DEAL ON SHOES It will be the annual She Shoe Swap For Charity where donated new and near-new women’s shoes and bags will be sold for $10, although some can be as high as $20. It will be at Piccadilly Mall opposite Sport Chek, open from 9:30 to 4:30 on Saturday, May 9. Organizer is Kathryn Vennard who is doing it in memory of her mother Rosemarie Vennard. Proceeds will be divided between two local charities: Rosemarie’s Fund at Shuswap Community Foundation and S.A.F.E. Society that operates the women’s shelter. You are invited to donate new or gently-used shoes and bags in drop boxes at the Royal Bank or the Brooke Downs Vennard law office. At the sale, you could win a fabulous purse by Fossil, Coach or Kate Spade. You can purchase tickets at Shuswap Clothing & Shoe Co. on Alexander St. where the purses are on display. There are five purses available and tickets are only $2 each or 3 for $5. When you purchase the tickets, mark on the ticket which purse you would like to win. The draw takes place at the end of the She Shoe Swap on May 9 at Picadilly Mall. www.sheshoeswaps.com TEN COLLEAGUES WANT DR. OZ FIRED Dr. Oz is a quack and he promotes quack remedies, according to 10 doctors at the hospital where they all work. And he promotes GMO labeling on foods. Columbia University responded by saying it encourages academic freedom and freedom of expression. Dr. Oz shot back on his TV program last Thursday which you can see on www.droz.com.

SUZANNE SOMERS TELLS DR. OZ SHE ALMOST DIED Suzanne Somers told Dr. Oz that she and her husband became very ill, and on her hospital bed, six doctors on six different days told her she had cancer. A biopsy of her lungs showed it was not cancer, but mould. She was determined to find the cause. An unfinished basement room of a house they rented had standing water, black with mould. The mould had gone through Gyproc, then the heating system, to people’s lungs and caused them to be ill. Suzanne wrote a book about their health problems and their slow recovery: Tox-Sick. Google it and watch the many TV interviews Suzanne gave, and read the written summaries of her struggle. You can order the book at Bookingham Palace Bookstore in Piccadilly Mall. MOULD INFECTION CAUSES HEALTH PROBLEMS Suzanne Somers wrote a book I could have written in the late 80s when many menopausal women were going to their doctor with health problems and were told,“It’s your age, dearie.” After holding several public meetings and hearing horror stories, I started Shuswap Wellness Clinic. About 90 per cent of clients had an overgrowth of Candida albicans, which is yeast infection. Suzanne’s husband developed sinus infections and facial ticks that was diagnosed as early Parkinson’s disease. Suzanne refused chemotherapy for cancer, and a biopsy showed she was infected with a fungus: mould. She changed their lifestyle and the family has recovered. Fascinating story that you can watch on www.droz.com. KRAFT TO MAKE MACARONI & CHEESE HEALTHIER Shoppers are checking ingredients on packaged foods, and because Kraft Macaroni and Cheese has so many artificial ingredients, they were avoided. Consumers used brands that are perceived to be healthier, such as organic or less-processed. Kraft has announced it will make changes by January 2016 in the US and December 2016 in Canada. Synthetic orange colours will be replaced by turmeric and paprika. Artificial preservatives will be replaced in the US. SHUTTLE SERVICE AVAILABLE IN THIS AREA AND AS FAR AS KAMLOOPS AND KELOWNA Blue Fox Shuttle Service serves the Shuswap and North and South Okanagan areas. Blue Fox provides transportation, safe rides and passenger service for events, parties, wine tours, airport shuttle and errands, etc. The owner is Victoria Fox of Blind Bay. For info and fees, call Victoria at 250-253-5600. Victoria and her mother provided a shuttle service up north for the oil industry so she has had a lot of experience. (From South Shuswap Chamber of Commerce e-newsletter) SLOW DRIVERS BEING STOPPED ON HIGHWAYS A fairly recent graduate from the RCMP Depot in Regina who now works in northern Alberta told his parents that, on the highway, they are stopping slow drivers more often than speeders. Slow ones are more likely to be high on drugs or drunk on booze. I imagine they could be over-medicated on many prescription drugs that come in blister packs. ENDERBY’S NEW FESTIVAL: ENDERBEER & WINE On the evening of Saturday, July 18, 2015, the Enderby & District Volunteer Fire Dept. will hold the first Enderbeer and Wine Festival with music at the Lions gazebo in Riverside Park. It will be a fundraiser for the

department. Within hours of posting the event on Facebook there were 1400 likes. They are looking for locally produced craft beer, cider and wine, local food vendors, and live music. Sponsorship and application forms are at www.enderbeerandwinefestival.com I DONATED TO LGBTQ TRIP TO WINNIPEG For 40 years I have been encouraging acceptance through this column of gays, lesbians and motorcyclists. As stated in last week’s column, we could donate towards the transportation cost of young people going to a Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transvestite Queer conference in Winnipeg by contacting Heather at 250-832-0971. I called and told her I was pleased that there is more acceptance in Salmon Arm of gays and lesbians. She said there is a groundswell coming from youth in schools. I followed her instructions and took a cheque to the school board office on Shuswap St. It was made to School District 83, and on the bottom I wrote Attention LGBTQ. It was for greater than $20 so I will receive a charitable donation tax receipt in the mail. STOP AND VISIT WITH MOTORCYCLISTS FROM A CLUB Piccadilly is full of motorcycles this weekend and their owners are not part of a gang. Starting today, Friday, May 1, the local BC Lone Wolves Motorcycle Club will have a Show n’ Shine in the mall. Stop and visit. Admire the beautifully polished machines of which each owner is so proud. Their website lists the rides that are organized every week. I’ve been on one that took riders on about 20 bikes to Herald Park, Eagle Bay, Sprokkets Café and back to Salmon Arm. It was organized to thank me for giving them such positive publicity. www.bclonewolves.com CHURCH SERVICE One Sunday morning, the priest saw little Davey staring up at the large plaque that hung in the church’s foyer. The plaque was covered with names and small American flags were mounted on either side of it. “Father Donovan,” the boy asked, “what is this?” “Well, son, it’s a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service,” the priest explained. They stood together quietly, staring at the memorial plaque. Little Davey softly asked, “Which service? The 9:00 or the 10:30?” 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.

BC land sales reached election target

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press The B.C. government released details of its pre-election property sales Thursday, showing it came out with more money overall than appraisals or B.C. Assessment Authority values forecast. Opposition critics called for the disclosure after obtaining government memos that showed a rush to make the deadline for the 2013-14 fiscal year, where the B.C. Liberals campaigned on a balanced budget tabled before the 2013 election. NDP critics highlighted property in Coquitlam that sold for millions less than an appraiser estimated it would get. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the 14 Burke Mountain properties are an “outlier” in the dozens of land sales that closed during the finance ministry’s budget-balancing program. Later appraisals by the City of Coquitlam identified steeper terrain and streams with protective setbacks that limited their development, decreasing their market value by 20 per cent overall. Development property south of the B.C. legislature beat its apprais-

al by $13 million, selling for $34 million to help the government meet a $350 million target to end the fiscal year. A former hospital site in Surrey was sold for $20.5 million, $3 million less than its B.C. Assessment Authority value for property tax purposes. Finance ministry records showed the sale price was midway between two appraisals, one commissioned by the government and the other by the buyer. De Jong said surplus Crown property is sold every year, with about 1,500 properties disposed of in the last 30 years. They will continue, but there won’t be another identified program in future budgets now that post-recession deficits have ended, he said. NDP finance critic Carole James said there was an obvious rush to meet ministry targets for asset sales, and some could continue to be sold below market value without the public knowing. Many of the surplus properties are school sites, and there are other transactions with municipalities.

The 2015 federal budget was released last week and ol’ Mall Arkey Junior has decided to weigh in and clarify a few items. It may take me a couple articles, so if you are waiting to hear more about my kids or Duma you may have to wait a little while. However, as I always say, learning about financial matters is a little like eating broccoli – you might not like it, but it’s good for you! The big budget item this year or at least the one that is getting most of the press is the increase in the Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) limit to $10,000 for 2015. Here at Mall Arkey we’ve always said the TFSA is the best thing to come out of Ottawa since Ron Adams, the original Mall Arkey, made his way out west! So you may ask the questions “How does this increase work?” or “When can I wheel my wheelbarrow full of pennies down to my financial advisor to top up my TFSA?” Firstly, the increase to $10,000 for 2015 will be effective January 1, 2015 once the legislation is passed. So if you’ve already contributed $5,500 (maximum under current rules) then you can only contribute an additional $4,500 during the 2015 calendar year. The biggest question I’m being asked these days is whether a person has to wait until the legislation is passed before they can top up their TFSA. It is a great question as it often takes weeks before legislation is passed. Well due to the confusion surrounding whether Canadians can immediately contribute; the Minister of National Revenue and the Minister of Finance issued a joint statement last Friday confirming that you can, in fact, begin contributing immediately under the proposed increase. The concern, of course, is around the stiff penalties (1% per month) for over-contributing to your TFSA. However, with this confirmation from the government you can move forward and not be worried you’ll be penalized before the legislation is officially passed. When the TFSA originally was introduced, the contribution limit was indexed with inflation and increased in $500 increments. This is why in 2013 the limit was increased from $5,000 to $5,500. In the proposed legislation introduced, the limit is increased to $10,000, but will not be indexed going forward. So don’t expect to see it at $10,500 three or four years down the road. That’s all for this week. See, the broccoli didn’t taste that bad!

Grindrod Feed Store The Grindrod Feed Store has expanded their space, but that friendly old-fashioned store atmosphere is still there. “We started out with a 40-foot shipping container at the side of our hay shed; now we’ve built a store in our shed,” says owner Sherry Fletcher (above). The store is located on Tomkinson Road, just a few doors down from Sure Crop. (Turn right and watch for the sign on the right hand side). The Grindrod Feed Store sells Otter Co-op Feed and Sure Crop feed. “Sure Crop doesn’t sell to the public, they just do wholesale,” says Sherry. Sherry and her husband, Terry, both work the farm and the store. He comes from a ranching family in the Chilcotin and she has lived in several BC communities including Alexis Creek, Armstrong and Revelstoke. They moved to Grindrod five years ago and opened a feed store a year ago. They have feed for dogs, cats, sheep, goats, cows, horses, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and even ostriches. Bag sizes range from 20 kg to 1,000 kg. They also sell seed for crops. Besides the reasonable prices, Sherry is also proud that their store has an old-fashioned country atmosphere, where customers always stop to visit and feel comfortable bringing their pets along. “I’ve started taking pictures of our customers ‘on hoof,’ says Sherry. “And while people are visiting they are talking about their goats and sheep. We have a board on the wall of things for sale - wiener pigs, ducks, someone looking for straw, someone has a rooster for sale, someone wants a llama...” Even though Sherry says she is enjoying having the new space, she says they already need more room. “It’s nice it’s just not big enough,” she says laughing. The Grindrod Feed Store is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, but if they’re outside doing work on the farm, they don’t mind loading up feed for customers who stop by. Contact the store by calling 250-309-4835 or email sherryfletcher10@gmail.com Writing contest - grand prize $10,000 The BC Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a writing contest for Chamber members and BC residents with a grand prize of $10,000 (second and regional cash prizes are also available).

Halal foods should be labeled

Are you aware of Halal foods and the fact they are being offered for sale in grocery stores in Salmon Arm? Until recently, I was not aware of these specialty foods and it is my understanding they are prepared using a religious procedure from another culture. It is also my understanding that these foods are made available for those that follow the Islamic religion and for anyone else who may want to consume them. These foods are available for anyone to try, and I would encourage all stores that carry these products to clearly label these foods as being Halal. Store managers should also be encouraged to explain Halal foods to any-

one having questions. As people of other cultures and religious backgrounds prefer to consume foods prepared through their own special processes, I encourage stores to clearly label the aisles or the bins where these foods are displayed, as there is a religious overtone in the preparation of all Halal products. Canada has many cultures and religions to accommodate in our free and democratic system. It is my opinion that Canadians need to be informed of the newest values, cultures and religions that are being introduced before they appear, not after they arrive and are implemented. B.

Road dust control would be beneﬁcial

I’m hoping JPW Road and Bridge Inc. will perform some dust control on Ford Road, particularly at the intersection of Vella and Ford just down from the gravel pits. With the unusually dry spring, the dust has become extremely bad. I fear that it is a health hazard. I’ve sent you photos of the dust rising high above the hydro lines.

Input sought on harvest plan

A BC Timber Sales (BCTS) harvest proposal has been presented to the Blind Bay area. Shuswap Estates Community Association has taken the lead to bring this to the attention of the area residents. Their interest is to bring the community to the awareness of this plan and seek comments or concerns regarding the proposed harvest directly above the Village Market, boarding private properties along with other visual cutblocks. If the residents have concerns about this harvest, it is very important they contact SECA. If there is no interest shown toward this harvest, it will proceed without your input.This is the only chance you get. BCTS encourages people to respond with any concerns. This is a chance for BCTS to show their positive intent to work with a community on har-

vest proposals. White Lake has had two full harvest plans executed with remarkable results from consultation that was taken seriously by BCTS. Success can only be achieved by your involvement of participation. The White Lake Residents Association deeply encourages Blind Bay and area residents to support SECA efforts on bringing forward a successful result that will be satisfactory to the area and the Government’s mandate. Please remember, supporting the Association has a superior voice with BCTS and the Minister, compared to individuals, that have very little to no success dealing with a concern. Bryon Every, President, White Lake Residents Assoc.

Every time a truck goes through the intersection it produces this cloud of dust which envelops school children walking from the bus stop and it quickly drifts over the properties nearby. I’ve reported the problem since April 8th. I took photos to show the extent of the dust, since definitions of “a lot” are very subjective. This area is now zoned ‘Rural Residential.’ There is ongoing traffic down Ford through the Vella intersection comprised of residents and large gravel trucks. The traffic has increased substantially in the last four years. What really needs to happen is for that road to be paved. That would improve safety for everyone. In the meantime, dust control would help immensely. Marie Hurley, Tappen

Budgets require work

Contrary to what Justin Trudeau and his followers would have us believe, budgets do not balance themselves. Last week’s balanced federal budget required the hard work of accountable cabinet ministers and staff to determine realistic revenues and expenditures. While it would have been easy to bolster revenues by increasing taxes in the short term, the loss of jobs and future investment over the long term would have been the cost. Joe Oliver followed through on the promise made to Canadians to produce a balanced budget that will help keep Canada’s economy the strongest of the G7 countries. While the opposition parties make plans to increase taxes and grow government, they have no plans to keep Canada moving forward. Few people are aware of JT’s bizarre plan to use the Canada Pension Plan reserves of seniors to fund infrastructure projects. Nor have people been told the truth about the $20 billion dollar cost of angry Tom’s carbon tax that would kill Canadian jobs and cripple Canada’s economy. Last week’s budget will allow job creating businesses to thrive with investments in skills training and support for entrepreneurs. Families will be able to keep more of their money in their pocket with the lowest federal tax burden in over half a century. Steven Harper and the Conservative government have shown they can be trusted to manage Canada’s finances through the toughest of economic times while still encouraging investment and growth for the future. This is far cry from the higher taxes, bigger government plans of the opposition. Mel Arnold, Conservative Candidate, North Okanagan Shuswap

Give the gift of sweet treats. What better way to highlight mom’s sweetness than with some delicious treats made just for her? Whether you decide to whip up some homemade confections in the kitchen or visit a nearby store for something decadent, mom will no doubt appreciate the chance to indulge on her big day. Make a meal to remember. Mom deserves a night off from dinner detail, and while dining out is an option, a homemade meal may come across as more intimate and heartfelt. Thanks to kitchen appliances that make it easier than ever to prepare gourmet meals at home, you can now make restaurant-style meals in your kitchen without sacrificing restaurant-quality taste. While mom waits for dinner to be served, a soothing cup of tea can set the tone for a relaxing evening. Plan a Mother’s Day picnic. Busy moms may look forward to a break from the bustle of daily routines. An afternoon picnicking outdoors can be the ideal way to enjoy a special Mother’s Day. Plan an easy menu of foods that have portability. Gifting is made easy when you tap into the things mom likes.

Tips for dining out on Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and this special holiday serves to honour all those women who devote so much time and effort to their families. While gifts and other trinkets are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a night out on the town come Mother’s Day. Not only does this give mom a night off from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get dressed up and spend time together as a family. A vast number of families travel to their favourite restaurants for Mother’s Day meals. Mother’s Day is one of the busiest holidays of the year for restaurants. Billions of dollars are generated by people eating out with their mothers. With large crowds to be expected, diners can follow a few tips when treating Mom to a meal. Book early ... very early. To guarantee a reservation at any restaurant, namely your favourite restaurant, you will need

Whether she’s still hard at work raising children or her kids have grown up and now have children of their own, Mom deserves our best efforts come Mother’s Day. And while traditional gifts like flowers and chocolate might make for thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts, those who want to go the extra mile for Mom this year can consider the following unique gift ideas. Concert tickets: Many adults recall the days of their youth when Mom would relax while listening to some of her favourite music on a lazy summer afternoon. Why not take a stroll down Memory Lane and take Mom to see one of her favourite

Expect to wait. Even with a reservation, you’re bound to spend some time waiting at the restaurant. Other families may be lingering at their tables, as no one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accordingly for a potentially long wait time. This means having a snack before you leave. Don’t arrive famished, as no

one wants the dining party to be hungry and cranky, which is not a good way to celebrate Mom. Have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand for young children, as well as activities to keep them entertained. Consider dining out a day before or after. Restaurants are generally packed on Mother’s Day, and as a result kitchen and wait staffs might be overtaxed. What’s more, diners might be relegated to a special or abbreviated menu. If you want a more relaxed setting and the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mother’s Day in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special day. Take-out is an option. Families can treat Mom to a dinner out, without really having to go out. Many restaurants offer takeout service, so you will not be limited to pizza or Chinese. Even chain restaurants have curbside service, so if Mom is in the

acts in concert? Even if you have outgrown Mom’s musical tastes, she will still appreciate the chance to spend an evening out on the town with her kids and some good music. Theater tickets: If Mom is a fan of live theater then nothing will elicit a bigger smile than tickets to a live production. If Broadway is a bit too far for you to travel, do your homework and find an unforgettable show Mom will love. Parts unknown: Moms who love to travel and experience other cultures would certainly appreciate a trip abroad or a domestic getaway to a region of

the country they have yet to explore. Before booking any such trips, speak to your Mom and ask if there’s anywhere in particular she’d like to go. Such trips can be expensive, so check with your siblings and finance such an excursion together. Spa treatment: If Mom is still as active as ever, then a day of pampering at a nearby spa is sure to please. Many luxury spas offer packages, especially around Mother’s Day, that make a full-on spa treatment a more affordable gift. Men and women can even accompany Mom on her trip and reap the rewards of being such a thoughtful son or daughter.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Men’s Chorus to participate in BC’s Chorfest later this month

Initially formed for the Rotary 5060 Conference, the Shuswap Men’s Chorus has been in existence since 2007. With help and encouragement from Doug Leatherdale and Tom Brighouse, Mary Landers organized the formation of a Men’s Choir to sing the national anthems for the District Conference in 2007 hosted by Salmon Arm. After the conference, it was decided to continue with the chorus as a Community Men’s Chorus. The chorus is a non-auditioned choir that meets once a week and has two concerts a year. The Shuswap Rotary

Club still supports the Chorus at concert time and the Shuswap Men’s Chorus uses proceeds from those concerts to sponsor two $750 Fine Arts Scholarships at Salmon Arm Secondary School. In the past, the chorus has also supported fundraisers for the ultrasound and gamma probe purchase at the Shuswap Lake Hospital. In June 2013, the Men’s Chorus was delighted to host the Vancouver Orpheus Male Choir. As well, the SMC participates each year in the Shuswap Music Festival, and has earned the honour of best Adult Choir three times.

The Men’s Chorus Concert, entitled “Men Aloud,” is taking place Wednesday, May 6, 7:30 p.m. at the First United Church. The concert will be featuring men only, and will include soloists Fred Green and Terry Greenhough from the chorus, as well as the Mount Ida Harmony and Foursome Time. Tickets are on sale at Shuswap Clothing and Shoe Company, the Pink Cherry and from members of the chorus. The Shuswap Men’s Chorus is delighted and honoured to have been invited to participate as a core choir in the BC Choral Federation’s Chorfest entitled Chorfestivity 2015. The Chorfest is an annual gathering of choirs from throughout

BC and this year it’s being held in Vernon at the Performing Arts Centre May 15 to 17. The grand finale of the weekend will be a massed choir concert Sunday, May 17, 2:00 p.m. at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. As well as the Men’s Chorus, the Shuswap Children’s Honour choir will be part of the children’s choir event. In total, there will be over 230 adults singing onstage and for the massed choir pieces, there will be over 350 singers. Admission for this event is by donation (suggested $10) and everyone is urged to be there by 1:00 p.m. to be sure of getting a seat. Ian Clay photo.

Woman in Gold

Director Simon Curtis (My Week with Marilyn) in his latest film brings to the big screen this inspiring true story of one woman’s personal quest for justice through the reclaiming of her heritage. Having immigrated to the United States during the Second World War, Maria Altmann (Helen Mirren) was forced to flee her beloved family and Austrian homeland during the Nazis’ invasion and subsequent theft of all her possessions; among which included Gustav Klimt’s famous painting of Maria’s aunt, “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I.” Sixty years later, Maria partnered with family

cinemaphile by Emily Garrett

friend and novice lawyer, Randol Schoenberg (Ryan Reynolds), to make history by taking the Austrian government to the Supreme Court and fighting to regain ownership of what was rightfully hers and finally putting her difficult past to right. Also stars Daniel Bruhl, Tatiana Maslany, Katie Holmes, Elizabeth McGovern, and Jonathan Pryce. Woman In Gold shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 2nd at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Vernon artist to represent BC in Alberta

BC Culture is pleased to announce Amanda Shatzko as winner of the BC Culture Days Ambassador and Awards Program. Shatzko, a professional artist and public engagement advocate from Vernon, will represent BC Culture Days and BC artists at the National Congress on Culture in Edmonton on May 7 & 8 at the Citadel Theatre. In addition to her trip, Shatzko will receive $2,500 towards her Culture Days event, in which she will be presenting a live aerial painting demonstration and inviting discussion and participation from community members. As vice-president of the Arts Council of North Okanagan, Shatzko has been active in promoting community engagement in the arts, working on programs with organizations, such as the Vernon Art Gallery and was most recently invited to speak on a Youth Engagement panel at the 2015 ArtsBC Conference. Shatzko has performed on stage, for film and television, at corporate events and ceremonies and on behalf of multiple charities. She has also had numerous commissions

including an exhibition with the International Gallery Container Art and the Government of Canada and Whistler Arts Council to create paintings of athletes live in Whistler and Vancouver during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. As 2015 BC Culture Days Ambassador, Shatzko will be engaging communities around the province to present and participate in Culture Days activities.

Most police and other enforcement agencies across Canada, including RCMP, Fisheries and Oceans officers, park wardens, and conservation officers, must renew their skills/licenses for (usually in the spring), and be proficient at, the use of firearms, (qualification shooting), First Aid, use of baton, pepper spray, hand-to-hand combat, as well as use of a shotgun on moving bear targets. A few seasons back, about 25 of us Fishery Officers converged on the shooting ranges west of Quesnel, where we would start qualifications. There is a strict protocol and rule set to follow while on the firing line. We’re up against silhouette shoot/no shoot targets. Standard issue then were 9 mm rounds, consisting of the ‘black talon’ bullet, which has now been withdrawn due to urgent requests by the American Medical Association seeing the major organ and tissue damage inflicted on patients. Issue today is standard copper jacket ball ammo. Timed night shooting was also part of our qualifications, where headlights shone on shoot/no shoot targets, with an officer exiting the patrol vehicle and using the door for cover while kneeling and shooting. Travelling back, to return to our hotel rooms, late on the second day of qualifications, we started across the expansive Quesnel bridge that crosses the Fraser River. Suddenly, we noticed a person standing on a girder, remove a watch, jacket, and

Back in the day jump into the murky, fast-flowing water. An immediate call went out to the RCMP, and we raced to the Fisheries compound, to ready the large jet boat for a search. The “jumper” was not located. Fast forward to Lillooet, 26 days later. June begins as a busy time for Fishery Officers there, as the Aboriginal chinook gill net fishery opens, and the early Stuart sockeye arrive. As the pine-scented hot winds dried the arid sagebrush-covered hills, I found myself beside an old Native cemetery with faded white boards and iron crosses, a pair of field glasses in hand, viewing the opposite bank of the fast-flowing Fraser, just below the bridge river rapids. The dip net fishery. A massive boulder was in the river, blasted there with the building of CN rail line many years before. Sockeye salmon by the hundreds continued to be thrown back by the rapids, ending in a large, swirling pool. For centuries, Fountain Band members dipped these salmon for the dry rack fishery (another story). Fraser River patrol: Puffs of dust devils swirled off the dry clay banks above the Lillooet highway bridge. Below, the surging expanse of the river tugged at our jet boat being lowered off its trailer. Soon we headed downriver, passing a sturgeon fishing camp. There was bull pine and towering cliffs above. We were searching out illegal gill nets sunk low in the water. Most nets are run out from a pole, with a pulley

on the end and iron rings attached to the net. The pole is held in place by ropes tied off and anchored to rocks or trees. There are sunken nets, dry nets, (stored on shore, or a cliff) and fishing nets, with floats attached. Our jet boat was pulled, bucking the current into a backwater. There, floating in a circle, was the person we believe that had bailed off the Quesnel bridge a few weeks previous. We place the deceased into a body bag, which is always carried on the vessel for such purposes. The Lytton detachment RCMP were notified, and we swung past the Lytton ferry and disembarked where the turquoise green waters of the Thompson River meet the murky fast moving Fraser

River below Lytton, the same spot Fin Donnelly came ashore after swimming the length of the river two years before. The mighty Fraser carries with it about 26 drowning victims a year. Many are picked up on fisheries patrols, from Lillooet to Boston Bar. All part of what we were geared up to do! Here and there in the Shuswap Give a group of police officers/fishery officers/CO’s a chance to blow off some steam after a day shooting on the range, and the party’s on! Many, like myself, did military service, logging, forestry, construction, or warden service. Too, etched in our memory, is our regimental or badge number. For the Princess Patricias, it was SK102076. As a Fishery Officer, it was #1249. As offi-

cers, we went through hell in basic training, and went on with our careers, but just sometimes though, events go off the rails. (Love a good nurse!) Like the police officer, who was rushed to hospital with an inflamed appendix. The doctors operated, and advised him that all went well. But something was pulling at the hairs on his crotch. Thinking he may need a second surgery, he painfully bent over, and pulled up his hospital gown to see what was making him so uncomfortable. Taped firmly across his pubic hair and private parts were three strips of adhesive tape–the kind that doesn’t come off easily! Written in large black felt pen were the words, “Get well soon, from the nurse you pulled over in the Ford Explorer last week! Kinda brings a tear to your eye, doesn’t it?

Hunter course available online

Surrey, BC – The BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF) is proud to announce that it is launching the province’s first Online Hunter Education Course. Prospective hunters will now have the option of taking the Conservation Outdoor Recreation Education (CORE) online, in preparation for their in-person CORE exam. “BCWF is excited to announce that prospective new hunters are now able to study for their CORE Exam via our new Online Hunter Education Course. The new online version of the CORE course features short videos, narration, and animations that really bring the material to life, and we hope that it will inspire more British Columbians to take up hunting,” said BCWF President George Wilson. The online course, which has been requested by BC residents for years, was developed in partnership with HUNTERcourse.com, Canada’s leading online hunter education course provider. BCWF worked closely with HUNTERcourse.com to create a fully customized course for the province. All online material has been reviewed and approved by the BC Wildlife Federation and the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations.

Online hunter education has been growing in popularity across North America as states and provinces see that providing an online option makes it more convenient for new hunters to obtain their required hunter safety certification. Online hunter safety courses are currently offered in 7 provinces and 46 states. “Students can take the BC Online Hunter Education Course, anywhere, anytime, on any device, and can study on their own schedule and at their own pace. It makes hunter education more accessible,” said Brent McNamee, CEO of HUNTERcourse.com, an avid hunter and a hunter education instructor. The online course is available at www.huntercourse.com/bc and consists of 10 chapters. The course material will take more than 5 hours to complete, and students are also required to answer 100 quiz questions. Upon successful completion of the online course, students must schedule and pass an in-person final exam with a CORE Examiner to be certified. The current CORE classroom courses will continue to be available. For more information on the BC Online Hunter Safety Course, contact BCWF Programs Coordinator Kerry Smith at 604-882-9988 ext. 300 or programs@bcwf.bc.ca.

Budget 2015-2016

On Budget Day 2015, a CBC reporter commented that the Budget had nothing exciting in it. I disagree. The very fact that our government has balanced the budget when countries all around the world are running deficits is something to get very excited about. Since the 2008 global economic downturn, our government has implemented the Economic Action Plan to grow the economy, create jobs and return to a balanced budget. Well, the plan has worked and I am excited! Our budget supports families. Economic Action Plan 2015 benefits 100% of families with children by lowering taxes and increasing benefits. An average family will receive $6600 in support per year due to measures our government has introduced. Seniors have also benefited from our plan. Since the introduction of the Economic Action Plan, we have implemented pension splitting, higher OAS supports, introduced the Tax Free Savings Account, and increased the age for RRIFs to be withdrawn and now reduced the minimum withdrawal factors for RRIFs. Economic Action Plan has also cut taxes for small business from 12% to 11% while Budget 2015 will further cut these rates from 11% to 9% by 2019. In 2006, a small business with a taxable income of $500,000 would have been taxed $83,600. In 2015, this has declined to $55,000 and in 2019 it will be $45,000 or a 46% savings. More money in your hands to expand your business and hire more employees is good for the economy. Since 2006, our government has introduced over 180 tax relief measures. Putting money in Canadians hands is good for the economy, but it also will help many Canadians to save for their first home or retirement and our government is assisting Canadians accomplish this by increasing the limits on the Tax Free Savings Account. Increases in the Universal Child Care Benefit will help parents save for their children’s education. Canada’s government will also give a 20% boost to Registered Educational Savings Plans (RESPs) where parents have invested $160 per month for the first 6 years. If parents choose to likewise invest the $60 monthly Child Care Benefit for children aged 7 to 17 in the RESP, they will be able to save $25,000 by the time their child is ready for post-secondary education or skills training. This budget provides tax savings today so you can save for tomorrow’s priorities.

Letters to the Editor

We must keep service clubs viable

The number of members in all Service clubs in Canada and, specifically in Salmon Arm, have fallen drastically over the past few years, and some are on the edge of having to close. A recent example in our community was the demise of the lions Club which, we understand, was at least partially a result of reduced membership. It is, of course, recognized that there have been many changes in our society including working couples which have had a major influence on the membership numbers as people do not always have time availability to take part in such activities Service clubs in our area regularly donate funds to local organizations such as food banks, children’s activities, seniors assistance organizations, etc. These funds are compiled

Larson, Joyce Mabel 1940 - 2015

We are so sad to announce that our dear friend and sister, Joyce Larson, passed away on Monday, April 20, 2015 after a courageous battle with cancer, just prior to her 75th birthday. She died peacefully surrounded by her church family and friends. Joyce was predeceased by her first husband Evan Larson, her third husband Don Oliver and her sons, Shane, Brian, Derrick and Wade Walsh. She is survived by her brothers, William and Blair Patterson and sisters, Elva Rogers and Nellie Patterson as well as her sister-in-law Joan Mounce and brother and sister-in-law Glen and Eleanor Larson. Other surviving family members include her foster daughter Eva Bailey, granddaughter Montana Bailey, ex-husband Gerald Walsh and her “adopted” grandson Gary Baars. Joyce was born in Windsor, Nova Scotia on April 23, 1940 and sadly, her mother died within a few months of the birth. During her childhood, Joyce lived with her aunt and later with her father and step-mother. She came to British Columbia, the first time in 1960, then returned in 1964, travelling by train with four young children to meet her husband in Coal Harbour. Joyce resided in several other BC communities including Vancouver, Chilliwack, Surrey and Revelstoke before moving to Salmon Arm. During her life, Joyce was an active member in a number of organizations; Al Anon, Citizens on Patrol and Power Pioneers. Joyce was a small lady with a “larger than life” personality. She touched the lives of many people and dispensed her homespun Maritime wisdom to all who knew her! Joyce loved and valued people and cared for them unconditionally without prejudice. She was especially fond of children and delighted in her interactions with them. Joyce will be greatly missed by her church family, friends at McIntosh Grove and the Seniors’ Centre as well as her relatives in BC and Nova Scotia. We thank the doctors and nurses of Shuswap Lake General Hospital for the kind and professional care. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to ShuswapHospitalFoundation.org 250-803-4546. A celebration of Joyce’s life will be held at the Salmon Arm Church of Christ on Saturday, May 2, 2015 at 2:00 PM (located at the Scout Hall, 2460 Auto Rd., Salmon Arm, BC). Lunch and fellowship will follow the service. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm 250-833-1129.
