The Canadian Mental Health Association celebrates their 64th Annual Mental Health Week from May 4th to 10th, 2015. CMHA invites you to come by and check out their lobby display promoting information on mental health. The display is located outside the entrance to the Hudson Thrift Shoppe (433 Hudson Ave). Why is your mental health so important? Mental health is key to one’s well-being. One can’t be truly healthy without it. It involves how one thinks, acts, and interacts with the world. Mental health is about realizing one’s potential, coping with the normal stresses of life, and making a contribution to his or her community. Good mental health isn’t about avoiding problems or trying to achieve a ‘perfect’ life. It’s about living well and feeling capable despite challenges. Mental well-being is bigger than the presence or absence of a mental illness. People who live with a mental illness can and do thrive, just as people without a mental illness may experience poor mental health. Each person’s path to mental well-being will be unique. Everyone has their own goals, their own challenges, their own talents, and their own supports. But good mental health is within everyone’s reach. Maintaining your mental health is a lot like staying physically fit: it requires a little effort every day. But the rewards are great! Mostly, it’s about finding balance in your life. Everyone has to face stresses and demands, but everyone needs and deserves a break sometimes. Devote a little of each day to improving your mental health. You’ll reap the benefits in the same way that daily physical exercise makes you stronger and fitter. For further information on how to take care of your mental health, get the facts about mental illnesses or find help for yourself or someone else contact Denise Butler at the CMHA Shuswap/Revelstoke Branch, 250-832-8477. A star to the gentleman who performed an act of kindness on April 28th at Wings Restaurant. It really made my day! Thank you. - K. A.

familychiropractic COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

Hearing loss and chiropractic

Over the past two months I have had a 4-year-old boy (for privacy reasons I will refer to him as Jake), who has been coming in for chiropractic care for help with his hearing. Jake’s story is one of the many chiropractic success stories I love to share. Jake’s mom had been noticing over the p r e v i o u s months that he had not been responding to as many sounds as she thought he should. She took him to the audiologist for testing, and it was confirmed his hearing was significantly reduced in both ears, plus he was also found to have fluid accumulating behind the ear drums. After a second follow-up test his hearing was still reduced and he was referred to a specialist for eartube surgery in an attempt to drain this fluid. Jake’s mom understandably was concerned about the scarring that occurs when ear tubes are cut into the ear drum, and also correctly thought there must be a cause for his ears to be producing excess fluid when his two siblings were completely fine. Jake’s mom was already a patient in our office and has come to understand how nervous system interference can negatively affect function in all parts of the body. I also explained to her that chiropractic is not a treatment for ear problems; rather, it is a natural way to improve nerve function. When the anatomy of the nervous system was explained to her, she agreed we should assess him to see if this may be the cause of his ear troubles. Jake was already scheduled to have a specialist appointment and

third set of hearing tests the following month, so she brought him to see if I could help his body to function better. I completed a history and examination and found he was quite subluxated in his spine – especially in his upper neck region (the region that controls the function of the optic nerves, auditory nerves, sympathetic nerves, pituitary gland, etc.). Jake started immediately with a series of gentle adjustments as we only had about 2-3 weeks before his specialist appointment. I could see that Jake’s nervous system was responding well to the adjustments, and the day soon arrived for his eartube consultation. Jake’s ears were examined and his hearing re-tested; both procedures resulted in great news. The fluid and pressure inside the ear had significantly reduced, and his hearing was better. Surgery was not booked for Jake and the specialist advised his mom to carry on with the care he was receiving from me. This is just one of the many cases I have seen in my 18 years of adjusting children with such problems. One of the most rewarding parts of my profession and what keeps me excited to be in practice every day is being able to help kids like Jake avoid unnecessary drugs and surgery. Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor with a special interest in pediatrics and pregnancy. He can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 8030224.

Kyllo honoured by Kidney Foundation of Canada

Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo received the B.C. Kidney Advocacy Award from the Kidney Foundation of Canada, B.C. and Yukon branch, at a ceremony in Vancouver on Saturday, May 2. Kyllo was selected by the Foundation for his efforts in support of B.C. kidney patients, particularly through his leadership for increasing awareness about the importance of organ donor registration. “My former high school phys-ed teacher and basketball and rugby coach Tony Beeftink was informed by his doctor 27 years ago that his heart was weakened by a virus and he had only six months to live,” Kyllo said. “Tony was just 37 years old at the time with a wife and three young children. Fortunately, on Christmas Day, Tony received a call from the hospital, and on Boxing Day 1988, Tony was B.C.’s second successful recipient of a donated heart, saving the life of a husband, father, and a brilliant and dedicated teacher and coach. “After recovery, Tony was able to continue his

teaching career in Sicamous and resume his passion for running marathons.” Beginning April 1, British Columbians visiting Service BC locations have been offered the opportunity to register their decision on organ donation. Currently, more than 95 per cent of British Columbians support organ donations but only 20 per cent have registered their decision to be a donor. This program makes it easier for those who have yet to register. “I am truly honoured and humbled by this award,” Kyllo said. “Advocating for organ donor registration is an issue that is near and dear to me and I am thrilled that I was able to advance this matter to my colleagues in government. It is now much easier for British Columbians to sign up.” The Foundation’s annual Volunteer Awards Luncheon was at the Pacific Gateway Hotel at Vancouver International Airport.

Help for Enderby caregivers of people with dementia

Family caregivers of people with dementia are often called “the invisible second clients” for good reason. As many local families have found, their roles as informal caregivers are critical to the quality of life of the person they care for, who generally require increasing levels of care. “Without caregivers, people with dementia would have an increasingly poorer quality of life and would need residential care more quickly,” explains Carly Gronlund, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Support & Education Coordinator for Enderby and the North & Central Okanagan. The support, though, can come at a cost– caregiver exhaustion. And that’s why the Society is bringing its free Family Caregiver Series to Enderby on two Saturdays, May 9 and 16. The two-part workshop helps caregivers learn strategies to care for someone with dementia and to take care of their own health, to ensure they are prepared to continue to provide care for their family members. “We provide practical techniques and strategies that caregivers can begin using immediately,” says Gronlund. Topics to be covered include: • Understanding Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

• Effective and creative ways of facilitating communication with a person with dementia. • Understanding behaviour as a form of communication. • Self-care for the caregiver. • Planning for the future. The workshop runs on May 9 and 16 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Enderby Senior’s Centre, 1101 George Street. Pre-registration is required. For information and to register contact Carly Gronlund toll-free at 1-800-634-3399 or e-mail cgronlund@alzheimerbc.org. The workshop is free thanks to partial funding by the Province of British Columbia, Provincial Employees Community Services Fund, RBC Foundation, Seacliff Foundation, Victoria Foundation, Mott Electric GP, Paul Lee Family Foundation, Colin and Lois Pritchard Foundation, Djavad Mowafaghian Foundation, Frank and Yvonne McCracken Foundation, Kaatza Foundation, Lohn Foundation, London Drugs Foundation, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., Pfizer Canada Inc., Morris & Helen Belkin Foundation, Bellringer Family Foundation and through the generous contributions of individual donors.

I RECEIVED A DISABILITY CHEQUE OF $7,439.14 I first heard about a Disability Tax Credit when Nellie Krombach of Enabled Financial Solutions gave a presentation at a health trade show in Kamloops. Nellie also gave a presentation at Fifth Ave. Seniors Centre in Salmon Arm and several people, like my sons in Victoria, thought it was a scam. I trusted the company. I found Nellie to be a very knowledgeable disability tax credit specialist who worked on my behalf with the application. The first thing she did was access my information back to 2006 to see if I qualified, then she contacted my doctor and the whole company went to work for me. I signed documents so that Enabled Financial would receive all my correspondence from CRA at its Victoria office. After much correspondence with the CRA and Enabled Financial, CRA sent me a cheque for $7,439.14 which was from 2006. After receiving the cheque I paid Enabled Financial its fee of 30% of my refund and then sent closing documents which contained forms for me to sign and send to CRA that reverts all correspondence back to my Salmon Arm address. The company no longer represents me and the fee is paid only once. Now each tax year I claim the tax credit and no longer pay the company. If you have been skeptical and want more information, contact Nellie at 250-674-2416 or nellie@enabledfinancial.ca. WALMART HAS SR. APPRECIATION DAY ON TUESDAYS Every Tuesday from 9 to 2, Walmart offers complimentary coffee and cookies for older folks. It’s Seniors Appreciation Day. Inside the main entrance will be a table with a friendly greeter who will welcome you and keep replenishing the Tuesday treats. Not far away, Walmart sets out a table and chairs for seniors. I plan to enjoy a coffee and cookie at 10:30 next Tuesday. Please join me. WINNERS & DOLLARAMA GOING NEAR WALMART Construction will begin this summer for two new stores coming to SmartCentres, with completion set for March, 2016. Local contractors were invited to bid, with closing date two days ago, on May 6. I heard a rumour that a fastfood/coffee place is coming to SmartCentres, too. HANEY OPENS FOR THE SEASON NEXT WEDNESDAY R.J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum, located at Highway 97B near the junction with the Trans Canada Highway, opens Wednesday, May 13. Hours for the Village are Wed. through Sun. from 10 – 5, and in July and August are open seven days a week. Marjorie’s Tea Room, located below the old school, is open Wed-Sun from 10 – 4 May 13th – Sept 19th. Cook Marie-Claire Lord, with helpers Dana Root and Kathy Walker, will be serving home cooked lunches. General admission is by donation. ANOTHER BIRD’S NEST TO WATCH A nesting platform was built opposite the corner of Trans Canada and 65th Ave. NE, up high, near a hydro pole with orange strips on top. Ted Radford of Blind Bay wrote that the first year, an osprey used it to hatch her family. The next year a Canada goose arrived before the osprey and hatched a gaggle of geese. For the past five years a goose has been nesting on the platform every April. When the 12 or so babies are about a week old, Mama flies off the nest and calls them from the bottom of

the pole. Daddy goose will join her in calling. Most jump and survive, and follow Mom, with Dad bringing up the rear, across the tracks to Shuswap Lake. Within hours of their departure, an osprey will reclaim the nest originally built for her. She fluffs it up, lays her eggs and stays with the hatchlings until they are ready to fly. Ted said last year there were two chicks who mom fed by frequent fishing trips to the lake. “What a strange co-habiting mix of wild fowl that utilize the same nest. Nature at its best.” A SENIOR MAN PAINTED HIS WHOLE HOUSE WITH FREE PAINT FROM BILL’S BOTTLE DEPOT I needed half a cup of paint for a small job, so I went to the paint shelves at Bill’s Bottle Depot. I found exactly what I wanted in the bottom of a quart of paint. The paint is free. I signed a sheet with my name, address, phone number, and the kind and quantity of paint. That’s for the regional district which pays the bottle depot for collecting paint. It wants to be sure people are taking paints. One of the staff said a senior man painted his entire house with free paint. He was so happy! Every time he came in with refundables, he checked the paint section for the lightest shade, then blended it with colours. RECYCLE CANS OF LEFTOVER PAINT WITH LABELS, FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, PESTICIDES & GASOLINE CANS Drop them off at Bill’s Bottle Depot for recycling or disposing. The place accepts empty paint containers, too, as well as liquid and solid pesticides, aerosol containers, marine and automotive paint, shellac, paint stripper, turpentine, block fillers, etc. Pick up a brochure near the sign-out sheet that lists all the acceptable items. ORGANIC MARKET IS AT UPTOWN ASKEW’S IN MAY The All-Organic Farmers’ Market is moving to Uptown Askew’s for the month of May. After that one-month trial, a decision will be made whether to continue. Since the fall of 2007 the market has been at the yard of Deo Lutheran Church. It is held Wednesday afternoons from 3 to 5. The market consists of fresh organic produce from Wild Flight Farm’s Mara farm and other organic farms and orchards from a wide area. Several other vendors bring organic products ranging from meats and cheese to baking and chocolates. Vendors are announced in the newsletter that is emailed a few days before each market. To subscribe to its newsletter, go to www.WildFlightFarm.ca. This year’s crop of spinach has huge leaves that are sweet and nutritious. I bought two bags. The staff at Wild Flight harvested and packaged 500 bags of spinach to fill an order for Urban Harvest, an organic home delivery business in Kelowna. SORRENTO VILLAGE FARMERS’ MARKET The market in Sorrento begins its 15th year tomorrow. It’s visible from the highway. Hours are 8 a.m. to 12 noon. Check www.sorrentofarmersmarket.ca and the Facebook page. THREE CHARITY FUNDRAISERS TOMORROW, MAY 9 Grandmothers to Grandmothers is holding a garage sale with a plant, bake, book and gift sale. Proceeds will go to African women who are raising grandchildren whose parents died of AIDS. The sale will be from 9 to 2 in the churchyard across the highway from the police station, next to the bowling alley. The She Shoe Swaps shoe and bag sale will be held in

Piccadilly opposite Sport Chek, 9:30 to 4:30, with proceeds going to Shuswap Community Foundation and the society that operates the women’s shelter. SPCA is holding a huge garage sale with plants, food, fun and pets waiting to be adopted. The fundraiser will be held in the parking lot of the credit union downtown from 8 to 1. DOES YOUR FAMILY ENJOY RIDING BIKES? Join the Salmon Arm downtown twilight family fun ride on Friday, May 22 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. It is a “comeone-come-all” ride through downtown, hosted by downtown Salmon Arm businesses and the Shuswap Cycling Club. It will be an evening filled with great family activities and a few silly ones thrown in for good measure. Lane closures will begin at 6 p.m. with the event getting underway at 6:30. See http://salmonarmdowntown.com/event for lane closures, maps and event information. SHE OBJECTS TO CANCELLING SENIORS’ DISCOUNT A senior wrote me: “You put a lot of people in an uncomfortable position when you say no seniors discount unless you are low income. Do you want them to show their income tax statements, welfare documents or other proof that they are in fact low income? Many people have worked hard all their lives and are still in the low/no tax bracket. It’s thoughtless of you to suggest such a thing. If you don’t want the seniors’ discount, you just have to say ‘no thanks.’” OBJECTS TO EMPLOYEES’ USE OF FOOD BANKS One person’s opinion: “I object to individuals in this community who have full-time employment, earning union wages and benefits, who go to the local food banks to receive food. These individuals are just simply irresponsible towards personal finances.” OUR DONATED MONEY FOR UKRAINE IS APPRECIATED Jack Stefanyk reported on a recent trip: “The day after the fundraising banquet for Ukraine, our team of four from Salmon Arm went to a small village in Central Ukraine to build a large shop for a trade school for orphans who have aged out of their orphanages and are now wandering the streets. Both young men and women are housed in separate dorms (village houses that have been renovated), they work on the farm, get paid a wage and then pay their room and board. The idea is to model what life is like on the ‘outside’ as they have been institutionalized for most of their lives. We worked alongside the students, building the shop. That was the highlight of the trip... working, sharing lunch and having fun with the students each day. Now that the shop is constructed, it will be used to further train the students in other trades like carpentry, welding and auto mechanics. “We met with Yura, the pastor who lives in eastern Ukraine in the midst of the military conflict. We had talked with him via Skype at the fundraising banquet. He was deeply touched by the generosity of the people of Salmon Arm. It was very moving. He couldn’t get over the fact people thousands of miles away could give so much to those whom they’ve never met. We can be very proud of our community!! We were also able to bring socks, coats, and T-shirts as KLM allowed us three suitcases each.” sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831

This year’s Launch-a-Preneur biggest ever

A very exciting final night for Season 3 of Shuswap Launch-apreneur was held on the evening of April 30th in Salmon Arm. Twelve teams pitched their business ideas to a panel of judges and a sold-out crowd of 280 at the Salmar Classic Theatre. Program partners, including Enactus, Okanagan College, Community Futures Shuswap and Salmon Arm E c o n o m i c Development Society, indicate the evening was a tremendous success with some serious competition among this inspiring group of entrepreneurs. The 12 competing teams included: • Apollo Auto Centre, Shawn Greek. •aWEARness Bracelet, Madeleine Eames. • Be Teased, Sharon Toews & Michael Gregorig. • Canada Safety Consultants, Gary Whitlock. • Cardio Connection, Melissa Treleaven. • Fire on Wheels, Jodie Pruden.

• J-Boys Services, Dave Johnston. • Medicine Match Genetic Testing Ltd., King Campbell. • Mystic Mermaid Adventurez, Lisa Hope & Aimie Laws. • Sovereign Stumbling Family Campground, Robert & Michelle Black. • Sprokkets Bakery, Mark Lane & Robin Johnson. • Tacos Los Machos, D a v i d Huerta. In typical Shuswap fashion, the community came together to support these aspiring entrepreneurs. This season the program received the highest value of donated prizes, the largest number of volunteer business mentors, and the largest number of teams participating. The event emcee and teams kept the crowd entertained with their high level presentations and

More budget analysis

Last week we discussed the new $10,000 Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) amount that was introduced in the federal budget. This week we want to review a small change introduced in the budget that, for the most part, flew under the radar except amongst the bean counters. Every year, people scramble to do their taxes and often are wondering whether or not they received all of their tax slips. When faced with this problem of not knowing if they’ve included everything when filing their taxes, they will flippantly suggest that what they haven’t included Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will pick up and adjust accordingly. While this may be true, CRA won’t just “correct” your return for free. So if you are thinking this will simply be another boring financial article and you are about to close the newspaper; think again. This one could save you from sending a lot of unnecessary money in the form of penalties to CRA. CRA has a penalty called the “repeated failure to report income penalty.” In some cases it won’t amount to too much, but in other cases it can be significant. To this point the penalty was

wit. “The most amazing part of the Shuswap Launch-a-preneur program is how our community comes together to support these teams,” says Economic Development Manager Lana Fitt. “The support extends well beyond the program and the prize packages and sees our commu-

nity following their progress for years to come. The whole Shuswap gets behind these entrepreneurs and creates a supportive environment to foster their start-up.” Although the program partners felt all contenders were win-

ners and worthy of high regard, the judging panel, consisting of Andrew Klingel from Okanagan College, Calvin Hoy a private wealth manager and Myles Bruns from the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, selected the following award recipients: • First place prize

20% (10% federal and 10% provincial) of the amount you failed to report as income if you also failed to report an amount in the most recent year. What does that mean? Well, let’s look at an example. Let’s say Isabel is a retired widow, aged 85. She receives Old Age Security and the Canada Pension. She also has a RIF that she is drawing down and a small investment. In the 2013 tax year, her small investment issued her a T3 showing $10 in taxable dividends that she forgot to bring to her accountant and as a result wasn’t included in her income. Later in the year, CRA sent her a notice of reassessment correcting her tax return by including the $10 in taxable dividends. As her taxable income is only ~$15,000 including the dividend, she has enough personal tax credits to offset any taxes owing and as a result doesn’t owe CRA anything as a result of the adjustment. The next year, she moved and as a result she missed sending a change of address to the investment financial institution that has her RIF. Again, tax

by Daron Mayes time arrives and she decides to have her daughter-in-law do her taxes for her, but this time the T4RIF is missed and the RIF payment she should have included in her income was $2,500. CRA again sends her a notice of assessment telling she forgot to include the $2,500 in her income, it doesn’t result in any taxes owed to them, but because this is the second year in a row she has forgotten something she now will be charged a penalty of $500 or 20% of the income inclusion that was missed of $2,500. The interesting part of this penalty is that if she had instead forgotten the RIF slip the first year or 2013 and had forgotten the dividend the second year or 2014; her penalty would have only been $2 or 20% of the $10 income inclusion. So despite the exact same mistake being made, but in the reverse order, the penalty from CRA is 250 times more! I have run out of space, but be back next week as I further discuss this penalty and the recent change in the federal budget that has in fact made this penalty potentially worse!

A charmed life

Shawn Greek has led something of a charmed life. He has turned his three favourite hobbies–movies, computers, and cars–into rewarding careers. On Thursday, Shawn took home the top Launch-a-Preneur prize with his business idea of Apollo Auto Centre, as well as the green award. Between these two awards, Shawn receives over $16,000 in seed money and prizes including advertising campaigns from local media, accounting and other businesses services. “It still feels surreal,” says Shawn the next day. “I was just happy to get through my two-minute pitch; I kind of blacked out, I don’t remember speaking.” Shawn has leased the property near the junction of the Trans Canada and Highway 97B, where the Wes Bowie Auto, Truck, RV Sales used to be. “I want this to be a hub for anybody who has questions in the automotive scene. They can come to the premises or to our website.”

Shawn’s design for Apollo Auto Centre He will have three bays, two for his mechanics, and the third will be a rent-abay. The rent-a-bay will be complete with a lift and tools. People can also park their cars on the lot to sell. He also plans to have regular seminars on automotive repairs, car shows, and just be a general hangout for car enthusiasts. He is planning a ‘soft’ opening in June and a grand opening in July, when the exterior renovations are complete. “It’s designed to have a massive visual impact but it’s simple to construct. It will be that 60s look.” Cars have been a longtime passion for Shawn. He told the audience at the Salmar Classic last Thursday he has owned 60 cars in the past 30 years. But as he was growing up and enjoying buying and fixing up cars as a hobby, his first job was at a theatre in Abbotsford. His parents worked for the military so Shawn and his sister were used to mov-

rice, a huge salad, maybe two baked potatoes, a plate of cheese and a plate of three or four desserts–just for me. The chef who was preparing my meals was the same one who cooked for the prince, so I literally ate like a prince.” While Shawn was working in the projection room others were coming and going, working on other things. One day he was working when a man walked in wearing a soccer jersey and flip flops. “I turned around and shook his hand. I didn’t know who he was so I said some pleasantries. Then his right-hand man said, ‘This is His Highness.’ I turned back and shook his hand again. He was shockingly normal. He asked me if he could hook up an Xbox. It was a short visit, he shook my hand again. He’s my age, 45, and super normal. I didn’t see him again until the final night when we we demoed the system, then he was in an Islamic robe and headdress.” [The demo movie was the Life of Pi]. Shawn did get a little time off and was given a VIP ticket to the Bahrain Grand Prix, plus he visited the zoo and a museum. He was asked to go over one more time. This time, when he landed he was taken to the Sofitel Bahrain Zallaq Thalassa Sea & Spa instead of the same five-star hotel he had stayed the first time. “They said, ‘We’re sorry you had to stay there. You will stay at the resort where all the prince’s guests stay.’” He stayed for 10 days in the resort where royalty, the rich and famous stay when they come. There were rose petals on the floor and bed. But he didn’t have time to really enjoy it as his days were spent in the projection room. “When I was finished the driver would pick me up then I would go back to my room to sleep. That’s what it’s generally like for me when I’m on the road.” Shawn got tired of spending his life away from home so he decided to make another career change, this time it would revolve around his other passion, cars. He had an idea and the timing coincided with the Launch-A-Preneur program. “The program costs $50; it was the best $50 I could ever spend, with five workshops and a fantastic mentor, Chris Lynd from Apple Auto Glass.” Shawn will be busy for the next several weeks getting ready to open Apollo Auto Centre. As much as he enjoyed his careers and experiences with the theatre industry, this is his show with a very happy beginning. “It’s not really a job, it’s a passion. If I had a million dollars and didn’t have to work, I would do this anyway. I like the idea of fixing up old cars – taking something broken and forgotten, bringing it back to life and giving it a new home.”

A night with Elvis

On Friday evening, April 17, “Elvis” (aka Adam Fitzpatrick) rocked to a full house at the Shuswap Lake Estates Community Centre. The enthusiastic crowd enjoyed a long list of old favorites, presented with humor and style by this award-winning Elvis tribute artist. During intermission, the crowd mingled around refreshments, bought raffle tickets, entered the door prize draw and sampled artisan cheeses by Terroir Cheese. The fundraising event was deemed a great success for The Copper Island Seniors Resource Center. Organizers would like to thank Shuswap Lake Estates for providing the venue, raffle prize donors (Elvis, Nico’s Nurseryland, Munro’s Flowers and Gifts, Happy Days Goat Dairy), and door prize donor Rose Collin. Thanks also to the many local businesses which sold tickets, as well as a big thumbs-up to the CISRC volunteers who worked so hard to make this happen.

Since opening in September, 2013, the Copper Island Seniors’ Resource Center has been providing information and services to seniors in Blind Bay and nearby South Shuswap communities. Available services include foot care, massage therapy, frozen meals, income tax preparation, computer tutoring, and a resource list of volunteers and businesses to help seniors stay independent in their own homes. The centre is receiving a growing volume of enquiries, and this fundraiser will go towards continuing to meet the need. Photo contributed.

Train your dog to walk nicely on a leash

By Emily Corrie Does your dog drag you around the neighbourhood from tree to fire hydrant on your daily walks? Does your arm ache from keeping him restrained? Walking with your dog does not have to be a hassle. With a little training, you can have your pooch walking calmly next to you wherever you go— and your veterinarian will thank you too! Remember that dogs are not born with the innate knowledge of how to walk on a leash— we must teach them. It is not necessary to use any special equipment other than a regular leather or nylon collar and lead. Most importantly, ditch that retractable leash: it teaches your dog to ignore boundaries and only frustrates fellow pedestrians when it becomes tangled around their legs (trust me). Remember, too, that training only works when it is consistent. While you train your dog to walk nicely on a leash, you will have to treat every walk as a training session. This means you will need to find alternative ways of exercising your dog because in the beginning you will have to keep his leash training sessions short. I trained my dog to walk nicely on a leash using some of the late Dr. Sophia Yin’s methods (check out her website at drsophiayin.com). The first thing your dog will be

Friday, May 8, 2015 Lakeshore News A11

required to learn is how to “say please by sitting.” This means that the dog only ever gets what it wants (a treat, to be pet, to go out the door, etc) by looking at you and politely sitting. Practice teaching your dog to focus his attention on you by show-

ing him a treat and waiting for him to sit. As soon as he sits, give him the treat. Build up his attention span by continuing to supply him with treats while he sits looking at you and gradually make the time frame between treats longer.

Make sure that his eyes are on your eyes; not on the hand holding the treat. Making a clucking noise can help get his attention to your face. Practice this in various locations in your home until he clearly understands. On the leash, teach your dog that the best place to be is by your side. Have very clear and consistent boundaries. If your dog gets quick and gets ahead of you, stop immediately in your tracks. The dog will hit the lead and most likely turn to see what is going on. Wait for him to return to you and “say please by sitting” (you might need to make that clucking noise to get his attention). Reward him, then continue on your walk. Consistency is key. Do not ever allow him to pull or

exit the boundary that you set. You will find in the beginning that you can only ever walk a couple of steps at a time. But he will soon learn that walking is pretty boring when he pulls because he is constantly having to stop and sit. By using this method, we are never required to use force or pain (such as with a choke chain) and walking becomes fun and understandable to the dog. Keep in mind that your dog’s natural walking pace is probably quicker than you think: walk briskly so he has to trot to keep up. Walking quicker will be more fun for your dog and will make it less likely that he will stop to investigate every tree, lamp post, mail box, and fire hydrant along the way. Have fun!

If your 6-year-old self sits on one end of the teeter-totter and your hulking 12-yearold cousin gets on the other end, chances are you will be airborne in no time. When he pushes off, your skinny little butt will take the brunt of this out-of-balance situation quite quickly. I use this visual to get my clients understanding how balance works. Rooms can be out of balance; the visual result of an unbalanced furniture plan can be that one part of the room is seemingly airborne, with not enough “weight” to counter the other side

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Balance where all the big stuff is crammed in together. A pleasing balance occurs when all the sections of a room appear equal in visual weight. Sections are defined by dividing the room into four equal quadrants. Let me rephrase that. Divide the space into four equal quadrants. If you are working on an L-shaped living/dining room, for example, you have two spaces of four equal quadrants. Balance means the furniture seems evenly distributed. Note I said, “seems.” The furniture

is placed with consideration to what is the offset – or opposite – of the piece, and by considering the visual weight that colour, pattern, texture and size impart. Some examples of unbalance: The sofa and loveseat sit against adjacent walls, the other walls are bare. The door swing blocks access to part of the kitchen table. The bed sits off-centre on the bedroom wall, with the main chest of drawers centred on the opposing wall. Some examples of balance: In a living room the sofa faces the fireplace; the two balance each other. One corner of a bedroom is filled with a large plant; the opposing corner has a chair and lamp.

Two occasional chairs, one upholstered in a light-coloured neutral, the other in a dark abstract print. The visual weight of the light-coloured chair is increased with the addition of contrasting cushion. Unbalance happens frequently when the furniture is either too large or too small for the space, or placement is limited by the size of the pieces, or there is too much – or too little – furniture in a room. This is another example of how important a floor-plan is to successful decorating. It will identify out of balance situations immediately, and show how to correct the problem. I’ll post some examples on the website. Designsewlutions.ca

FRESH FLOWERS and GREAT GIFTS

Every May women around the world are celebrated for their sacrifices and contributions to the family. With all that Mom does for her children, it would seem like the concept of honouring her would be ages old. However, it really wasn’t until relatively recently that a celebration of mothers was instituted. In ancient Greece individuals honoured Rhea, mother of the gods. Christians also celebrated Mary the mother of God. But it wasn’t until the 1900s before the general mothering population was celebrated in earnest. Anne Marie Reeves Jarvis was a young Appalachian homemaker who, beginning in 1858, attempted to improve sanitation and nursing procedures through women’s clubs and what she called “Mothers Friendship Day.” It wasn’t Anne Marie, but rather her daughter, Anna Jarvis, who created the Mother’s Day that we celebrate today. Anna spent many years caring for her aging and ailing mother. Anne Marie died on May 9, 1905 and Anna missed her terribly. Anna noticed that many children failed to respect and honour their mothers while they were alive, and it wasn’t until after they died that these children recognized what they had lost in their parent. She intended to start a Mother’s Day to honour mothers. In 1907, Anna Jarvis attempted to establish Mother’s Day to “honour mothers, living and dead.” She started the campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. Together with her friends, Jarvis started a letter-writing campaign to urge ministers, businessmen and congressmen to declare a national Mother’s Day holiday. Her efforts paid off. The first Mother’s Day was celebrated on May 10, 1908 and honoured the late Anne Marie Reeves Jarvis. After this initial celebration, Mother’s Day caught on. The Mother’s Day International Association was established on December 12, 1912, to promote and encourage meaningful observances of the event. And on May 9, 1914, a presidential proclamation in the USA, declared that every year the second Sunday in May would be observed as Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day not exclusive to Canada

Most people likely never even thought about it, but Mother’s Day is not a celebration exclusive to the Canada. In fact, Mother’s Day is celebrated in several countries throughout the world. Australians celebrate Mother’s Day in a fashion similar to the USA including wearing carnations.In Australia,a coloured carnation worn on Mother’s Day signifies that a mother is living while a white carnation is worn to honour a deceased mother. Australians celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May. Mother’s Day is in its infant stages in India, but it has grown in popularity each year since its inception. Many credit increasing globalization with the dawn of Mother’s Day in India, where the holiday is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Unlike the aforementioned countries, Mexico celebrates Mother’s Day on May 10 every year, regardless of what day that happens to fall on the calendar. Sons and daughters often arrive at their mother’s home the night before Mother’s Day, and churches across the country organize special masses in honour of the country’s mothers. Mother’s Day in Ireland is tied to the Christian fasting month of Lent, celebrated on the fourth Sunday of each Lent. The tradition in Ireland dates back to medieval times, when poor children in Ireland were sent to work as apprentices and domestic servants for wealthy families. Once a year, during the middle of the Lenten season, these children were allowed to visit their mothers and presented them flowers they picked up along the way. South Africans c e l e b r a t e Mother’s Day on the first Sunday in May. In addition to their own mothers, South Africans also emphasize the importance of thanking their g ra n d m o t h e r s and women who are like mothers on Mother’s Day.

Celebrate Mother’s Day

Give a Green Gift this Mother’’s Day

Mom may appreciate chocolate or flowers. But for children who want to offer her something a little more special -- especially for their eco-conscious moms -- there are a number of different gift options to make Mom’s big day as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable.

When your mother asks, “Do you want a piece of advice?”

Pay for a car tune-up. Improving the gas mileage on Mom’s car is one gift that can be environmentally friendly. Keeping a car in shape can help save money and improve fuel economy. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve Mom’s gas mileage by as much as 40 percent. Also, be sure to have her car tires properly inflated. She can be losing gas mileage by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in all four tires. Getting an oil change with the recommended grade of motor oil is another gas mileage improvement measure. Purchase eco-friendly kitchen items. It may be a major faux pas to give Mom an appliance or a new vacuum for Mother’s Day. However, if your mother is an avid cook or baker, she may appreciate some new mixing bowls or utensils made from recycled materials. If Mom is the consummate entertainer, get her new glass tumblers and sipping straws made from recycled glass. They are perfect for serving cocktails and outdoor entertaining. Pamper mom with organic products. What mom doesn’t enjoy a little pampering from time to time? You can treat your mother to a spa experience at home by assembling a basket full of organic shampoo, conditioner, massage oils, Sunday, May 10 bath salts, 4:30 - 9:30 pm and any other 250.832.2423 • 111 Lakeshore Drive organic spa (beside Askews downtown) items you can v OPEN SUNDAYS 3 PM - 9 PM v www.bombaygrill.ca find.

Mother’s Day BUFFET

Mother's Day Specials 60-Minute Relaxation Massage and Vitamin Infused Facial $188

It’s merely a formality. It doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no. You’re going to get it anyway.

An eco-friendly gift for Mom is a gift that keeps on giving. When you jot down your gift idea list, think about adding these “green” gifts. Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give Mom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal flowers or greenery for every mother’s tastes. Compile different gardening essentials, such as seeds or seedlings, organic soil mix, mulch, all-natural compost, and a few different planting containers. You can also include gardening gloves and ergonomic tools made of recycled materials. Finish the gift with the inclusion of a book that describes different garden designs and gives tips for beginners.

Flippin’ Fiddler keeps tradition

From the time he was a small boy, Scott Woods loved the sweet and melodic old time style of fiddling that he had heard on old recordings of Don Messer’s Jubilee. Now a multiple winner of titles at the Canadian Open and Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Championships, Woods is helping to keep the tradition of old time fiddling alive as he brings his newest show called “Fiddling in the key of… Eh?” to Salmon Arm on Friday, May 29th. Woods does more than just play fiddle tunes. He likens his show to that of Don Messer’s Jubilee that ran on CBC from 1957 to 1969. “Basically what Don Messer did and what we do is an old time variety show,” explains Woods, “similar to what they used to do on the radio or on television in the early days. They’d have singing, and then an instrumental piece, and then some dancing and some comedy.” Woods was the musical director and played the part of Don Messer for seven years with “Memories of Don Messer’s Jubilee’ that toured extensively throughout Canada. He was also the headline act that launched the Don Messer Centennial Celebrations that took place in Harvey NB in 2009. Woods loves his main audience; families and seniors. “We meet some truly wonderful people,” he says. “They’re very appreciative and love what we’re doing and that makes us feel good. You don’t have to be a fiddle fan to enjoy the show. It’s good, clean fun that you can be proud to take your grandkids or grandparents to.” Woods and his band perform up to 150 concerts every year, most of which are fundraisers supporting churches, charities and other com-

munity service groups. The Scott Woods Band has its roots in The Merv Woods Orchestra, originally started by Scott’s father Merv in 1950. “My dad always taught us to give back whenever we could,” Scott recalls. “We hope to continue doing this for many years to come.” Scott’s latest production, Fiddling in the key of…Eh? explores some of the great Canadian fiddling styles from Cape Breton and Scottish tunes to Acadian and Irish influences to French Canadian, Metis and Eastern Europe. Joining Scott on stage is Cape Breton tenor and one of Nova Scotia’s finest vocalists, To m m y Leadbeater, guitar virtuoso and East Coast Music Award Winner, Bruce Timmins and lighting up the stage with his fancy footwork is multiple Canadian Open Step Dance Champion, Kyle Waymouth. The fast-paced, uplifting show delivers plenty of variety with old time fiddle music, step dancing, songs, stories, family humour and some of the trick fiddling that earned Scott the Canadian Novelty Fiddle Champion title and ‘The Flippin’ Fiddler’ nickname. Fiddling in the key of…Eh? takes place on Friday May 29th at 7:00 p.m. at the Seniors’ Fifth Avenue Activity Centre, 170 5th Ave SE in Salmon Arm. Tickets are $25 for adults, $10 for children age 6-12 and kids 5 & under are admitted free. Advance tickets are available at Acorn Music, 118 Lakeshore Dr. NE or by calling toll free 1-855-SCOTTWOODS (1-855726-8896). Complete tour schedule is available at www.scottwoods.ca.

Community band presents varied repertoire

The 45-piece Salmon Arm Community Band is hard at work in final preparations for the upcoming spring concert. This event will be at the Salmon Arm United Church at 7:30 on the evening of Saturday, May 9th. The ten band members are excited to have ‘The Looney Tunes’ clarinet quartet join them. Comprised of four members from the larger group, the quartet showcases one of the most important families of instruments in the modern concert band. This year marks the 50th anniversary of one of the world’s favourite musical films, “The Sound of Music.” The Community Band joins in the celebration by offering a medley of the greatest hits from the much-loved film.

Rounding out the European influenced pieces are “Suo_Gan,” based on a Welsh Folk Song, and “Celtic Air and March.” Also on the program are a set of pieces celebrating rural mid-America. There’s the traditional melodies of “The American Folk Suite,” the lovely “Prairie Wedding,” and a good ol’ barn dance tune, “Cotton Eyed Joe.” The band also explores some modern sounds with “The Fives Prevail,” and “Bang Zoom!” They have fun with “Satchmo” (Louis Armstrong’s greatest hits) and “Funkytown.” Admission is by donation for this always entertaining evening, presented by members of your community.

Blues, world acts added

Friday, May 8, 2015 Lakeshore News A19

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

If you head to www.rootsandblues.ca, you’ll see that 16 more artists and acts have been added to the talent pool that makes up the 2015 Salmon Arm Roots and Blues festival. There are a number of Juno winners, like Cara Luft, a founding member of the Wailin’ Jennys, who will be performing in the duo Small Glories this time around. There’s Russell deCarle who won six Junos as the front and lead vocalist of what was arguably Canada’s great country roots band – Prairie Oyster. Brent Parkin may not have the highest profile of Canadian bluesmen, but Tom Lavin of Powder Blues calls the guitarist “Canada’s Duke Robillard,’ referring to the great Boston-based musician and founder of Roomful of Blues. There are more acts for all the world music fans that attend Roots and Blues and the West African sound is covered with the booking of the Amadou Fall Trio from Senegal. Amadou just made his Canadian debut at the University of Alberta in a concert presented by the FolkwaysAlive! department at the

campus and the kora player was greeted with a huge ovation after his show. He happened to be on a bill with Leonard Podolak of The Duhks and when the two realized they would both be performing at the Salmon Arm festival, they jumped at the opportunity to figure out a few workshop ideas they could present on August 15 and 16. You gotta love that kind of synchronicity. Add in Pakistani artist Riffat Sultana, who performs both Pakistani and Sufi traditional music, the Afro-Cuban sounds of the ten-piece Marco Claveria Project and the songs of Kenyan-born Seattle resident Naomi Wachira (pictured) and Roots and Blues fans will not only hear a great cross section of eclectic world sounds but a number of acts that have never played western Canadian festivals before. Given that the word “blues” is part of the festival masthead, it’s no surprise that a few more blues musicians who cover numerous bases in the broad world of the blues have found their way into the mix. Geoff Muldaur and Amos Garrett are true legends in the world of roots

and blues music and between them there is a century of formidable experience. A great touchstone and setting that the two participated in 40 years ago was the incredible Paul Butterfield Better Days Band that released two acclaimed albums. The collective resumes of the two as solo artists, collaborators and session men would take up a few pages of print, and there is good reason this duo is playing so many major western Canadian festivals this summer. It seems everyone from Vancouver Island to the prairies wanted Muldaur and Garrett. The blues squad is rounded out by rising star Kat Danser, and another fine young bluesman in Tom Walbank from Arizona. This is the thin edge of the wedge in what Roots and Blues is offering as Marty Stuart, Canned Heat, John Oates of Hall and Oates fame, The Duhks, Oysterband and Elephant Revival will all be bringing their music to the Salmon Arm Fair Grounds. This all makes one think the opportunities for memorable workshops is infinite. Organizers hope you feel the same way and don’t forget that early bird ticket sales end May 29.

The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet

10-year-old T. S. Spivet (Kyle Catlett) lives on a remote ranch in Montana with his mother (Helena Bonham Carter), a scientist obsessed with the morphology of beetles; his father (Callum Keith Rennie), a cowboy born a hundred years too late; his sister Gracie, who dreams of the spotlight; and his non-identical twin brother Layton, who got the brawn; T.S. got the brains. When T.S. receives a phone call from the Smithsonian Institute informing him he has been awarded the prestigious Baird Award for his invention of a perpetual motion machine, he is also

expected to give a speech at a reception in his honour. Without telling anyone, he packs his suitcase, leaves a note for his family, and hops a freight train to cross the United States. This is just the beginning of this adventure filled with characters and obstacles that T. S. must encounter on his journey to Washington DC to claim his prize and find his place in the world around him. The Young and Prodigious T. S. Spivet shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 9th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Meditations Read: Proverbs 16:1-25

A Serious Mistake

There is a way that seemeth right unto a man; but the end thereof are the ways of death. - Proverbs 16:25

e are inclined to believe that today’s key verse refers to the way of the unbelieving sinner. But self-satisfied sinners are usually not concerned about the way in which they walk. More likely it refers to someone who believes he is on the right way but is deceived. There is a way that seems right. Why would a way seem right when it is wrong? A way might seem right if many walk in it. Jesus said in Matthew 7:13 that there is a broad way that leads to destruction, and many walk there. He contrasted that to the narrow way which leads to life but is found by only a few. This is possibly the single most important reason why multitudes go blindly on in a wrong way. They say, "Everyone else is doing it." It is a fatal delusion. A way might seem right because it is attractive. It is the easy way, the way of least resistance. Ways that offer freedom to the flesh are ways to destruction of the soul. Since no danger is apparent, caution is thrown to the wind. Regardless of how attractive they appear, these ways end in spiritual death. A way might seem right because our conscience is perverted. A conscience informed and ruled by God is a safe guide. But a conscience warped by prejudice and weakened by abuse is not reliable. It cannot make sound moral judgments. How can we avoid being on a wrong way that seems right? We must know the truth. We must know the Lord Jesus. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We must know the Word of God, the Bible. Let’s not remain on a way that seems right but ends in eternal death, when there is a way that leads to eternal life. James Baer - Salmon Arm, BC

The wrong road, no matter how right it seems, leads to the wrong place.

U12 girls dominate Penticton, Kamloops

By Andi King The Shuswap FC U12 girls earned two victories over the weekend as they dominated Penticton and Kamloops White in front of a home crowd at Little Mountain. In the first contest of the day against Penticton, Shuswap set the tone early when striker Jordan King, after receiving the ball from Julia Hart, scored off a brilliant shot from the right wing in the first two minutes of the game. Penticton responded with some shots of their own, but Hart was stellar in goal. Phoebe Barnes controlled the middle of the field and Shuswap defenders Laura Hall, Janae Bocking and Brooklyn Davidson let nothing by. Ten minutes later, King made it 2-0 when she beat the Penticton Keeper with a bullet far post. Lys Milne recorded the assist. The stunned Penticton squad became physical, but Shuswap was able to maintain possession and continued to display excellent passing and teamwork. King earned the hat trick when she sent a beautiful corner kick into the box that deflected off the Penticton keeper and into the back of the net making it 3-0. Sophia Ruckle finished the scoring for Shuswap in the second half when she used her speed to beat two Penticton defenders and scored off a beautiful shot near post. Braidy

Parkes and Hart made some excellent saves and earned the shutout for Shuswap. The final score was 4-0. The second game started much like the first for Shuswap FC as they got on the board in the first minute of play when Milne made a crafty run up the left wing and buried the ball in the back of the net. Two minutes later, Milne easily found the back of the net again when Parkes gave her an excellent pass in front of the net, making it 2-0 for Shuswap. The scoring continued for Shuswap as Ryleigh Bridge-Davis scored her first goal of the season when she blasted the ball past the Kamloops keeper. Sophia Ruckle recorded the assist. Davidson, Hall, and Bocking continued to dominate the backline and let nothing by. Barnes made it 3-0 when she blasted a corner kick into the box which proved to be too much for the Kamloops keeper. Holly McKaskill, Alana O’Dell and Gabriella Torrie were solid for Shuswap up front. King rounded out the scoring for Shuswap when Barnes crossed the ball to King who burned past a Kamloops defender and blasted the ball in the back of the net making it 5-0. The final score was 5-1 for Shuswap. Goal keepers Hart and Parkes were outstanding in goal.

Outlaws take a 4-0 victory over Revelstoke

By Austin Smart The Salmon Arm Outlaws took on Revelstoke last Wednesday with a 6:30 p.m. kickoff. The first half was fought hard by both teams, with the first goal coming early in the first half. Revelstoke pushed forward and got caught on the back foot as Outlaws’ David Schipftino got a breakaway; he made easy work of the Revelstoke goalkeeper with a little chip in to the top of the net. Outlaws held the lead 1-0 until half time thanks to nice saves from Travis Fox. At half time, Outlaws team manager Austin Smart had high hopes for

the second half, and he would not be disappointed as Mike Jensen took control of the back line to hold off the Revelstoke strikers. As the game started to wind down, Revelstoke was looking tired and the Outlaws knew it was now or never to get the ball in the back of the net. So with one last push, Moses Kamara got two back-to-back goals. Just as it looked as if the game was over, Greg Dolaznski put one more away to seal the deal as Salmon Arm Outlaws took a 4 to 0 win over Revelstoke.

Letters to the Editor Colin Mayes and recent budget

When he was Mayor of Salmon Arm, Colin Mayes’ new city hall cost twice what it was budgeted for. His excuse was that nobody foresaw the increased costs of raw materials. Neither his math nor his economics have improved since then: the Conservatives didn’t foresee the drop in the price of oil either. Now he is excited over the Federal budget being “balanced” because “the plan has worked.” I’m not sure exactly what plan he is talking about. During the last election, Stephen Harper promised that the budget would be balanced last year. It wasn’t. This year, the surplus of $1.4 billion has only been achieved by taking $1.8 billion from the Employment Insurance fund just two years after the Minister of Finance promised that Conservatives would never do that, AND by taking $2 billion out of the $3 billion dollar contin-

gency fund (Yes, I know the Liberals robbed EI of $50 billion during their time in office, and were condemned by Stephen Harper for doing it. That only means that the two parties are alike). In 2013, the Parliamentary Budget Office accused the Harper Conservatives of keeping EI premiums higher than necessary in order to do just that and to pay for a tax credit elsewhere. The Conservatives claim that they will make it illegal for others to do the same thing in the future, just not for themselves. Moreover, it would have to be part of the constitution for that to be true. Other countries don’t have balanced budgets during these economic times because their math is better and they occasionally tell the truth, not because the Conservatives have a better grasp of economics.

1925 - 2015

Also survived by Orville’s 2 sons Robert (Candy) and Tim and 2 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. Phyllis was predeceased by her first husband Leonard Lagore and her second husband Allen Mattila and her step-daughter Alana. She was born in Luton, England on November 28, 1925. She came to Canada as a war bride and lived in Stettler, AB until Leonard started working in the oil industry. They moved around Alberta for a number of years. In 1959 she moved to Golden, BC where she married Allen Mattila. When Allen retired, they moved to Revelstoke, BC. After Allen’s death she met Orville Gordon and they moved to Salmon Arm, BC.

STEINKLAEUBL, JOSEF VALENTINE 1940 – 2015

Josef was born January 7, 1940 to Alois and Thresia Steinklaeubl in Graz, Austria. He passed away from cancer, at home as he wished, on April 28, 2015 at the age of 75 years. Joe was predeceased by his parents; brother Alois; former wife Ann Marie; sister-in-law Gertie and brotherin-law Freidl. He leaves to mourn, Pearl, his wife of 45 years; son Dieter (Gaby); grandson Robin (Sonja), granddaughter Jenna (Markus) and great grandsons; Sam Louis and Anton as well as sister Thresia; sisters-in-law; Elsie, Rose (Peter) and Diana as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. After school Joe spent the mandatory one year in the army in Austria. He believed all young men would benefit from this training. He then started as an apprentice in retail sales in his brother’s grocery store. Later he worked for the post office and ran his own grocery store and disco. Josef came to Canada in 1968, did construction and retail sales in cars, vacuums, real estate and made and sold his own fishing plugs. He married Pearl in 1970. They lived in Edmonton, Red Deer, Prince George and Kelowna. Joe was definitely an entrepreneur! He always had to know what was around the next corner to see and experience. He enjoyed hunting, the outdoors and loved fishing and camping. Joe was definitely addicted to computers. He kept in touch with facebook. Hours were spent happily listening to Andre Rieu’s and Austrian music concerts. After they moved to the farm in Joe Riche (near Kelowna), he and Pearl—always a team—raised hunting hounds, security dogs, emus, ostriches, horses, goats and chickens. They made and sold a line of emu oil products. The wonderful people of Salmon Arm and afar, who have been so caring and supportive, are just too many to name. You know who you are. A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, June 9, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at the First United Church, 450 Okanagan Avenue SE, Salmon Arm, BC. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129.

Music festival a success

Contributed by Susan Wolff, Shuswap Music Festival Society The 15th Annual Shuswap Music Festival concluded Friday, May 1 at the First United Church with an impressive ‘Night of Stars’ concert. The adjudicators for this year’s festival selected not only the top performers in each category of bands, strings, piano and voice for awards and scholarships but also some of the most entertaining performances that showcased the depth of musical talent characteristic of the Shuswap. Four young ladies, who have entered the festival in the “Two pianos–eight hands” category for each of the past eight years, closed the evening with a rousing ragtime piece. Audiences have annually looked forward to their entertaining performance complete with cre-

ative costumes that reflect their selections. Sadly, this is the last year that Ashley Fong, Elena Bruns, Lara May McCallum and Rebecca McDonald will perform together. But congratulations to Ashley Fong and Elena Bruns who have successfully completed the ARCT (Associate, Royal Conservatory of Toronto) Performers Examination and are moving beyond the level of the festival. The festival celebrates musical talent across a wide range of genres and ages–from 5 to 85. The two-week long festival also has a strong educational c o m p o n e n t . Acclaimed musicians, renowned for their teaching and performance credentials, are brought to the festival to conduct a master-class style of adjudication with each festival participant. New skills are encour-

Budget – Part 2

Budgets provide money for government operations and delivery of public services to Canadians. Budgets also provide long term investments into infrastructure. In this year’s budget, our government has committed over $50 billion in the next ten years for public infrastructure in Canada. This is the longest-running federal infrastructure commitment in our country’s history. In 2015-16 alone, our government is investing $5.35 billion for provincial, territorial and municipal infrastructure. In addition, the new Public Transit Fund in the 2015-16 budget will help cities improve public transit. This fund will receive $750 million over the next two years and then $1 billion annually after and will expand public transit in cities. This will provide Canadians with more transit options; it will reduce the number of cars on our roads, lessen grid lock traffic and reduce a major source of greenhouse gases. This will be good for commuters and good for the environment. Our government’s New Building Canada Plan is a long-term funding commitment to help Provinces set their priorities for major infrastructure improvements. Here in the Okanagan - Shuswap we have seen past investments which have upgraded the TransCanada Highway and Highway 97 – two highways that are essential links between our local economies and other markets. This fund will allow the provinces to move forward on future investments to make our highways safer and more efficient. In this partnership, our government does not tell the provinces where to spend the money – we are a financial partner and allow the individual provinces to set the priorities. I hope to hear of further highway announcements in the coming months as a result of this budget.

aged and techniques honed. Hard work pays off. At the ‘Night of Stars’, $5300 in scholarships and awards were presented to both young and older musicians ranging from pre-Grade 1 to ARCT in piano and strings; classical to musical theatre in voice; concert to jazz bands; and youth as well as adult choirs. Congratulations to all the participants in the festival and to the remarkable work done by the adjudicators: Don Bennett, Bands; Muge Buyukcelen, Strings; Matt Hill, Voice; Darlene Brigadear, Jr. Piano; and Anne Wilson Unger, Sr. Piano. Sponsored scholarships were awarded as follows: The three Rotary Clubs of Salmon Arm sponsored and presented the “Best of the Fest” awards to Mairead Raupach for Voice; Anna Konrad for Strings; and Stephen Moore for Piano. The Mary Fowler Memorial Scholarship was presented to Spencer Christensen for Excellence in Classical Voice and the Blair Borden Memorial Scholarship went to Lara May McCallum.

Boat launch proposed for quiet park

Contributed by Gardom Lake Community Park Society board Thousands of hours by volunteers of our community have made Gardom Lake Park what it is today – a peaceful oasis and a safe place for everyone in the surrounding area to bring their families. The Gardom Lake Planning Committee is now exploring the idea of a trailered boat launch installed within the park. We, the board of Gardom Lake Community Park Society, who manage the park, are firmly against this concept. For anyone who has visited Gardom Lake Park, they will know it is a tranquil place

away from the noise of boat engines and traffic. Parking is above and the beach and playground are accessed by a short trail or a stairway. The park has gazebos, picnic tables, a wharf, two swim floats and a play area. It is truly a little gem in a magical setting. The beach area is small but well-used by between 40 to 70 people most summer days. Opening the park to traffic would put all the other users at risk. In addition, there would be no room for vehicles with trailers to park. The existing parking lot already has maximum use and would not be an option. If you are as passionate as

Outdoorsy gals

More and more ladies are joining a fish and game club or naturalist group to enjoy the outdoor experience. Too, a lot of gals have given up on their husband who was never home, or “out with the boys” Wednesday evening and playing golf on Saturday. Some ladies form a group of their own like “Broads with Rods” who head out to different lakes or rivers to do a bit of fishing and enjoy the group company. I recall when we ran Postill Lake Fishing Camp, we had gals who tied their own flies and enjoyed fly fishing at one of our outer lakes. We used to have the Kelowna Kinettes group for a weekend, and the gals would be out there in the water, but they avoided Diane Birtche’s boat, ‘cause Diane wouldn’t quit fishin,’ she was so passionate about it. But looking back on it all now, I feel there was, and is, a deeper and more passionate reason that women want to find their own destiny or be free of the chains that sometimes bind them; and just sometimes, camping, fishing, and being in nature, is their release from the pressures of marriage, parenting, divorce, or escaping from a bad relationship. There are a couple situations I know of concerning such women. One was a gal whose husband had had a stroke. Soon he was confined to a wheelchair. She looked after him day and night for a number of years, feeding, cleaning, caring for, and putting up with anger issues and drinking. Another gal I knew also cared for her husband in the same way, but he was bedridden. She fed and changed him, until she couldn’t take it anymore. He was admitted to a care facility in Armstrong, until she couldn’t afford to keep him there. She brought him home, and again cared for him herself until his passing two years ago. They had had a good life, he being a bank manager, and she holding down a secretary’s job. In both situations there were children involved. They are now grown up with children of their own. Two prime examples of gals looking for happiness, and maybe a decent guy they could enjoy being with. I also know gals who will roll up their sleeves and dress out fish quite nicely, and can do the same with a moose or deer, come hunting season! So, with Mother’s Day on Sunday, us hunters and anglers and all those that are passionate about the outdoors, think about our own Moms, and all the other mothers out there, and what they have to put up with on a daily basis. As well, never underestimate the power of a woman. I recall a story from Sonia Lemay, a friend living in Armstrong, from a ways back, when she told me about her husband Leo and the other loggers always frequenting the Nakusp Hotel beer parlour, until the wives got so mad, they burned the place down! Out and about in the Shuswap Current facts for outdoor folks to ponder from a survey from Outdoor Canada: 693 species of marine life have been found dead from being tangled in nets or suffering from ingestion of man-made plastics, foam, and other man-made debris. Also, 80 acres of wetlands are lost each day in Canada through development, etc. Hunting: black bear season is upon us, and for those who want to take a bear, a two-year-old should be selected, and make sure it is a boar and not a mom with cubs. A wildlife rescue group already has three babies to nurture in their care, and last season had up to 14. Tight lines and straight shootin’! Next week: new angling and hiking gear, and the best new ATVs for 2015.

Historic buildings

The Merchant Block (118-148 Lakeshore Dr) was constructed in 1929. The Community Heritage Register states this whole block is an enduring testament to the “resiliency of the city” because it was opened in June 1929 a mere four months after a fire swept through that street. Further down the road (331 Lakeshore Dr) you will see the old CPR Railway Station that was built in 1913. In 1990 the CPR ended passenger service in Salmon Arm but the building itself “has value for its nostalgic reminder of rail travel in Salmon Arm.” NO APPOINTMENTS

And if you haven’t had your fill of historic buildings, you can stroll up 2nd Ave NE, also known by its historic name of Harris. There are five houses there built just after the turn of the last century and have been lovingly restored by their owners.

One of the most lovely features of Salmon Arm’s downtown core is the proximity to parks and the lake. From the hustle and bustle to the quiet calm takes only a couple of minutes.

SALMON ARM

This spring Salmon Arm will officially turn 110 years old. Of course, the First Nations were here thousands of years before that, but it was on May 4, 1905 that Salmon Arm was officially incorporated. History buffs will appreciate a number of buildings around the downtown area. At 191 2nd Ave NE, you will see the Salvation Army building that was originally the Baptist Church, built in 1909. Going down to Hudson Ave you will see, at the corner of Alexander and Hudson, the store ‘Victorian Impressions’ which is in the building that housed Salmon Arm’s first bank, the Bank of Hamilton, built in 1910. At 31 Hudson Ave you’ll see the Seniors’ Drop-in Centre that was built in 1928 and was the city’s first municipal hall. Across the street at 20 Hudson Ave is the old courthouse that was built two years later and officially opened in 1931. It now houses various businesses and services including the Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Centre.

Right beside this building is the Salmon Arm Arts Centre (70 Hudson Ave) which was the city’s original post office that dates from 1937. The City of Salmon Arm Community Heritage Register offers a particularly interesting detail about this building: “The building is important for its design by architect Thomas W. Fuller, son of Thomas Fuller, Chief Architect of the Dominion of Canada, who designed the parliament buildings in Ottawa.”

MARINE PEACE PARK (MARINE PARK DR) If you turn off Lakeshore Drive onto Marine Park Drive you will come to Marine Peace Park and the wharf. Don’t forget your camera–this is a great spot for a picture for the family photo album. Like Fletcher Park, this is also a popular picnic spot. There’s picnic tables, washrooms, a boardwalk, nature trails, a boat launch, a gazebo, and a long, curved wooden wharf with a seasonal concession at the end. It’s a lovely spot to watch boats come in and out. Quality House & Home Consignment

FLETCHER PARK (2ND AVE NE) Okay, maybe you won’t find quiet calm here because it’s the hub of happy activity throughout the summer, the fabulous water spray park being the biggest draw. You can hear squeals of delight from a block away. But it’s not just for kids – parents and grandparents also take advantage of the cool water on the hot sunny days. While you’re there, take the red bucket challenge! There are picnic tables, a playground, and washrooms as well as a large grassy area. Sorry, no smoking or dogs allowed. BLACKBURN PARK (10 AVE SW) Bring your skateboard, soccer ball, or Frisbee.

Salmon Arm wharf

In the mid 1800s Salmon Arm had a wharf but it was built to accommodate large sternwheelers that were used to transport people and goods to and from places like Enderby and Kamloops. Now we use roads for that kind of thing, but the wharf is still an important part of life in this city. From early morning joggers to evening social strollers – going down the wharf has become part of a daily ritual. The beauty of the lake, the fun of spotting various birds, and the convenient location all contribute to the wharf ’s enduring popularity. There’s no more sternwheelers but you can see houseboats, speed boats, personal watercraft, as well as dragon boats, canoes and kayaks around the marina. Boaters can buy marine fuel at the marina and there is also a septic pump out for houseboats. Rentals are available at the marina office.

maybe even a picnic, and feel free to get up and dance. The outdoor concerts are a balance of local and touring musicians presenting folk, rock, alternative and fusion music. Donations are collected on site to help support the program. Follow (Wednesday on the Wharf) WOW on twitter @ WOWconcerts or Facebook Wednesdays On the Wharf. This is one of Salmon Arm’s most popular events so come early for a good parking spot.

Little Mountain Park

Foreshore

There are currently 58 kilometres of existing trails within the city, but one of the most popular trails is Salmon Arm’s Nature Bay, right by the wharf. The wetlands provide an ideal habitat for nesting and resting for some 250 species of birds. It’s beautiful and peaceful (despite the busyness) right near the downtown core. The boardwalk and viewing platform are perfect for birdwatching and it’s not unusual to see photographers set up their tripods and wait until they get that perfect picture.

You can walk along the boardwalk or take the path, both are easily accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. Remember to keep your dog on a leash for the Osprey Nest walk, and pets are not allowed on the Christmas Island loop because it is a sensitive riparian habitat. If you’re visiting between March and October you might see Osprey, Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons, and the Western Grebe–the majority of BC’s breeding population nests here. If you

Little Mountain Park is one of Salmon Arm’s treasures, with eight kilometres of wide, smooth forested nature trails. There are a variety of figure eight loops and some are easier which makes it perfect for families (about a half hour in duration), and others are a little more challenging. One of the loops includes a short climb to views of Salmon Arm, Salmon Arm Bay, Fly Hills, and Mt Ida. Bring your bike and don’t forget your camera! If you’re visiting here in the winter months, this is a perfect place to snowshoe. There are a couple of different entrances to Little Mountain Park: From east Salmon Arm on Hwy 1, turn south on 30th St SE then left (east) at Okanagan Ave. Proceed to the west parking area at the end of the street. There is also a south entrance with parking on 10th Ave SE near 35th St SE.

Music in the summer

If you didn’t get enough music on Wednesday at the Wharf then be sure to come to Thursday Night Jazz – free live music at the Ross Street Plaza every second Thursday in July & August with a 7 pm start. And on Fridays there’s the popular Lunchbox Stage – free live music at the Ross Street Plaza in July & August, from 12:30–1:30 pm.

Some trails wind along paved flat paths that are perfect for a family stroll and are wheelchair accessible, some go along mossy forest floors that are peaceful and relaxing, while others are more physically challenging as they hit the heights of alpine meadows. Some trails allow for horses, bicycles, and motorized vehicles. If you’re more into climbing, you’ll definitely enjoy some of the local climbs. Go to www.shuswaptrails.com for detailed information, or pick up a Shuswap Trail Guide at a local Visitor Centre.

Cycling

It might have been the lake that drew you to the Shuswap, but you can’t leave without doing some cycling. With over 1500 kilometres of quiet, paved back roads in the area, the Shuswap is an ideal place for road riding, and the trail systems at Park Hill and South Canoe boast some excellent mountain biking terrain. South Canoe is the home of the very popular Salty Dog 6 hour Enduro mountain bike race, and is also the west trailhead to the Larch Hills Traverse epic cross-country trail. There is a handy cycle touring brochure available that gives more details for loop routes in the entire region. You can pick up these guides at any Visitor Centre or at the local cycling shops, which also do servicing and repairs. From May through October local cyclists organize group rides. Ask for details at the local bike shops.

SINGLE TRACK 6 Thanks to the dedication and leadership of the Shuswap Trail Alliance, the Shuswap is gaining national and international recognition for its trails. This year, for example, some 400 cyclists will be in town for the Singletrack 6, a 6-day mountain bike adventure showcasing the best riding in a variety of authentic mountain bike communities in Western Canada. They choose tracks that are a “perfect brew of xc, panoramic vistas and epic descents.” They will ride the South Canoe singletrack (the one used in the popular Salty Dog race) and then go 13 kilometres up and over Larch Hills before hitting a series of “wicked descents” on the Rubberhead trail system. The ride takes place in Salmon Arm on July 26, from there the cyclists go to Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton. singletrack6.com

with artists who were introduced backstage before becoming fast friends on Roots and Blues stages. The palpable enthusiasm and good-time vibe of the performers becomes contagious not long after the festival gates open. Produced by the not-for-profit Salmon Arm Folk Music Society, Roots and Blues has also been applauded for continuing to help inspire emerging artists from the region as well as presenting some of the province’s most respected musical ambassadors such as Colin James, Kiran Ahluwalia, and Jim Byrnes. As recently as 2014, musicians from Salmon Arm and area found themselves sharing their songs and talents on workshop stages with established artists from across the country. While being mentored by these artists, our homegrown musicians also confirmed to audiences and their peers that given the chance they can hold their own with some of the best in the creative world. Outreach has been an important component in the Festival mandate since its inception. Outreach has come in many forms including the annual Music Crawl that is produced the night prior to the festival. The Music Crawl showcases local and touring artists in smaller venues with a “pay what you can” admission fee, allowing everyone in the community access to fine talent. At the end of the day much of the focus remains on the three day festival that ties incredible music into a shimmering tapestry that includes culinary delights from an international food village, a dance stage, a ‘fun zone’ for children, an artisan market place featuring handcrafted Canadian made originals, and a tranquil camping site within earshot of the festival. Twenty-three years and counting, not only the years, but also the ever-expanding list of fans, volunteers, and friends of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. www.rootsandblues.ca

Shuswap Lake

Shuswap Lake is a joint lake system consisting of four arms. Although the entire lake is known as Shuswap, one of these ‘arms’ is specifically called Shuswap Lake and the others are Seymour Arm, Anstey Arm, and Salmon Arm. Mara Lake is also part of the system. The Shuswap is large enough to provide solitary areas of peace and tranquility for kayakers and canoeists, and still has plenty of room for the faster and more boisterous houseboats and speed boats. Let the natural serene and idyllic beauty of Shuswap Lake relax you. And don’t worry about Shuswaggi, it’s actually the Ogopogo and we sent him back to Okanagan Lake.

Canoe Beach

docks and an island with short interpretive trails. The Interpretive trail has old growth trees, wildflowers, bird viewing (Bald Eagles, Common Loon, and RedNecked Grebe), and Western Painted Turtles. There are trails on the two islands in the lake, along the shoreline, and across the road from the park. The day use park features picnic tables, outhouses, and a playground. To get there: Drive east of Salmon Arm on Hwy 1, turn south on Hwy 97B and drive approx. 15.8 km to Gardom Lake Rd, and then turn right. Travel 3.5 km and turn left onto Park Rd. Go 0.7 km to the park entrance and parking area on the left.

Gardom Lake

Gardom Lake is something of a hidden treasure. It’s not as busy as the bigger lakes with their longer sandy shorelines but it is a lovely swimming lake and a favourite with canoeists and kayakers, birders and naturalists. It’s quiet and peaceful and big enough for an afternoon of paddling around. The lake also features several floating

If you ask locals where ‘the beach’ is, they’ll probably give you directions to Canoe Beach. It’s the busiest spot in the Shuswap on a hot sunny day. It is the closest beach to Salmon Arm but that’s not its only claim to popularity. It has a long sandy beach, lots of grass, a beach volleyball court (feel free to join in), a boat launch, a playground, roped off swim area, washrooms and change rooms, a group shelter for large gatherings, and a concession. And don’t forget your camera because the view of Bastion

Mountain is absolutely spectacular. The shallow water close to the sand makes it handy for families with small children, and the abundant shady trees give a pleasant reprieve for those who don’t like it so hot. Dogs are not allowed in the main beach area but are welcome at the dog park on the east end. Close by are baseball diamonds and the Park Hill Trail system. These trails are perfect for hikers and cyclists. You can always come back for a refreshing jump in the lake. Canoe Beach is 10 minutes east of Salmon Arm and is easy to find. Turn off the Trans Canada just past the golf course and go-karts onto 50 St. NE. Keep on this road until the end, turn left and drive one kilometre along Canoe Beach Road. There are plenty of signs and ample parking.

Salmon Arm Fall Fair

3390 T.C. Hwy SW • 250-832-4919 (West end of Salmon Arm) Open 8am - 8pm 7 days a week www.pedros.ca

The mingled smell of cotton candy and deep-fried donuts waft through the air as the lights of the midway are flashing and twirling. There is plenty of entertainment from lawn tractor racing to the

ever-popular ‘Shuswap Idol’ competition. But the heart and soul of the fair are the displays and competitions of agricultural products, domestic livestock, and home arts. At this yearly event where livestock, garden and field produce and handiwork take centre stage it’s obvious Salmon Arm is still very much a proud farming community. The Salmon Arm Fall Fair has, since it began over 100 years ago, brought the people of the Shuswap region together to celebrate the community. This year’s theme is ‘From Pioneer Days to Modern Ways.’ It all takes place at the Salmon Arm fairgrounds September 11, 12, & 13. www.salmonarmfair.com

Sunnybrae Park is a great place to spend an entire day. With a large beach, a playground, lots of grass area and picnic tables, it’s perfect for that morning swim followed by a picnic lunch, then more swimming. Or you can take the short (but a little challenging) trail to the top of the bluffs across the road for a wonderful view of the lake. This beach has a few more pebbles and rocks than some of the other beaches so consider bringing your water shoes.

Herald Provincial Park beach isn’t as close to Salmon Arm as Canoe Beach, but this one is also very popular with the locals for a number of reasons. The beach is great and there’s plenty of choice between sunny and shady spots, which is handy for those more sensitive to the heat. There’s a boat launch, lots of picnic tables, and nice washrooms. Right beside the day use area is the 119site provincial campground which happens to be one of the most popular in BC. The park covers a total of 79 hectares. Swimming, fishing, bird-watching and hiking are popular activities here. With the large grass area it’s a popular spot to have frisbee or soccer games. Across the road you can take the lovely trail to Margaret Falls.

Margaret Falls

No matter how many times you go to Margaret Falls, it’s always breathtaking, and the old-growth canopied pathway through a rock chasm to the falls has a timeless effect. With the combination of the wooden bridges you get the distinct impression that you’ve just walked into some kind of magical kingdom. This tall cascade of water crashes down the narrow twisting canyon and makes a beautiful backdrop for photos. It’s an easy walk (10-15 minutes) so the entire family can enjoy. Watch for the parking lot located on the left hand side of Sunnybrae-Canoe Point Road just past the entrance to Herald Park.

2015 SHUSWAP VISITORS’ GUIDE

Trail riding, equestrian events, and camping are popular pastimes in the Skimikin area and that’s why horse owners love coming here. There are over 100 km of marked and mapped trails for short and long rides, some with spectacular views of the picturesque Skimikin Lake. These trails are popular for hikers and cyclists too, and kayakers and canoeists find this small lake great for paddling. The Skimikin Forestry Campsite is an equestrian campsite managed by the EQ Trails Association that is active in creating and maintaining trails in and around the Shuswap, especially in support of the Shuswap Trail Alliance. The campsites are spacious with picnic tables and fire pits. There are 15 paddocks for equine use with double corrals and pull-through parking spaces. Many tall trees make high lining an easy option.

BLIND BAY Blind Bay

When the first Europeans were settling in the area, the South Shuswap quickly became a junction for goods and for people travelling to the North Shuswap. Blind Bay (or Trapper’s Landing as it was known then) became an important shipping point as the railway line was just five kilometres away. Boats are still plentiful in Blind Bay but nowadays they’re filled with tourists enjoying themselves in this vacation paradise. In Blind Bay, all the amenities are close by, but the community is still small enough to be relaxed. Here you will find great beaches, artisan galleries, coffee

shops with excellent brew, a golf course, a grocery store with a bakery and deli, and a fabulous farmers’ market.

Beaches and parks

In the South Shuswap, here is a list of the popular beaches, boat launches and lake access points. Be aware there are no lifeguards at these public beaches.

Go north for approximately 2.8 km to Blind Bay Road. Turn left and drive for 1.3 km.

SHANNON BEACH This site is 18.33 hectares (45.29 acres) in size, including over 400m (1,312 feet) of shoreline on Shuswap Lake in Eagle Bay. A parking lot is opposite the beach and includes a vault toilet and garbage receptacles. A short wheelchair accessible trail leads across Eagle Bay Road to the beach (watch for traffic). There is a picnic table that is wheelchair accessible with a beautiful view of the lake. The large swimming area is cordoned off from boat traffic with buoys. This is a rocky beach, so you’ll want water shoes. How to get there: Turn off Trans Canada

Highway at Balmoral Road, go north for approximately 2.8 km to Blind Bay/Eagle Bay Road, keep right, and go 19 km to Eagle Bay. Watch for Shannon Beach sign at entrance to parking lot above road.

This site is approximately 20m wide by 100m long. There is a public vault toilet, garbage receptacles, a cement boat launch and a 60 foot dock for temporary loading and unloading of boats. No boat moorage is permitted. This is a shallow boat launch and is only suitable for smaller boats in the late summer due to the receded water levels (down to 3m in the late summer months). The boat launch is closed from October 1 to March 31 due to salmon spawning. How to get there: Turn off of the Trans Canada Highway at Balmoral Road. Go north for approximately 2.8 km to Blind Bay Rd. Keep right for 100 metres and turn left on to Harbour Road.

It is long renowned for its recreation and retirement lifestyle, especially the fabulous swimming, boating, water sports, and fishing.

Salmon run

In the summer travellers come primarily to enjoy Shuswap Lake; in the fall, attention is turned to the Adams River, which has one of the largest salmon runs in North America. It’s an amazing sight to see the beautiful rushing waters teeming with the brightly-coloured salmon that come to spawn. Millions of fish come from the Pacific Ocean, where they have spent their adult life, to spawn and then die, completing their life cycle.

SALMON ARM

The word Shuswap is the anglicized version of Secwepemc, a word that Europeans had a hard time pronouncing. The Secwepemc are a part of the larger Interior Salish people who have been in this area for thousands of years. The Shuswap were a semi-nomadic people, roaming through their vast territory of 180,000 square kilometres. Lakes and rivers were an integral part of their transportation, and salmon was a main-stay in their diet and economy. They used plants and animals but were guided by their cultural tradition of being keepers of the land. Native culture hinges on the belief that the land responds positively to care and respect. Generation after generation learned the ways of the elders through a rich oral history that continues to this day. Many of the local bands have programs in place to teach the young their language and traditions. You can learn more about the local First Nations by reading about their history, traditions and culture on their various websites. Some of the local bands have

ENDERBY Enderby

Don’t let the small-town charm fool you. Underneath its laid-back exterior, Enderby has actually gone glam. Not only is it a location star that will be seen on the big screen later this year, but it’s also home to the famous beagle, Miss P, who won ‘Best in Show’ at the prestigious Westminster Dog Show in New York, making Enderby home to America’s top dog. And this past winter Anthony Hopkins, Julia Stiles, and Alexander Ludwig were filming ‘Go With Me’ in Enderby so you will want to get your picture taken

around town so you can show your friends after the movie comes out. You’ll also find antiques, local art and crafts, historic books, and any kind of fun beach toys you will need for your time relaxing at the water. Enderby has plenty of events throughout the year including a gold panning competition, outdoor concerts, Canada Day celebrations, an accordion fest, and the very impressive Enderby Arts Festival. Pick up one of their city maps that will

guide you to all the activities: golfing, hiking, biking, swimming, tube floating (the most popular spot on the entire Shuswap), water skiing, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, x-country skiing, snowmobiling, camping, and of course, shopping. If you’re a hiker, don’t miss the challenge of the Enderby Cliffs. It’s a steep climb but well worth the effort when you see the view. But water is the real draw throughout the summer. Besides the river which becomes somewhat of a tubing highway, there are many lakes in the surrounding area: Mara, Mabel, Rosemond, Gardom, and Hidden Lake that all have their own particular charms. Enjoy your days in the sun and your night under the stars here in Enderby.

ENDERBY

The Jim Watt Heritage Riverwalk winds along the Shuswap River and is lovely for a family stroll. It is paved so it’s stroller and wheelchair friendly. You can stop at the heritage information plaques posted along the way to learn a little of Enderby’s history. The picnic

Tuey Park, with its wide, sandy beach, has been popular with local swimmers since 1916. There is a picnic area, washrooms, and an adjacent dog park for pet owners. A waterwheel and flume were built here in 1911 to irrigate the surrounding farmland, giving the park its local nickname, the “Waterwheel.” Tuey Park is located on a bend in the Shuswap River at the north end of Enderby. The water at this point in the river is especially calm and shallow, but swimmers are advised to keep a sharp look out for boats in the deeper main channel.

Enderby Open Air Market

Enderby’s Open Air Market runs Fridays, 8:30 am to 12:30 pm in the City Hall parking lot, Highway 97A by the second traffic light. Local vendors are there all season long, offering fresh, local and organic fruits and vegetables, eggs, baking, preserves, grains, flowers, jewellery, woodworking, and more.

Starlight Drive-In

If you prefer watching movies on the big screen, you will definitely love Enderby’s Starlight Drive-In with North America’s largest drive-in screen (6000 square feet). It’s an amazing movie experience. The box office opens a couple of hours before the movie starts. On the weekends try to come when the box office opens to avoid long line-ups. When you drive in, pick your spot and turn on your car radio (or iPod or walkman or boom box) to 106.9FM for sound. Some people prefer to bring lawn chairs or blankets, and that’s okay too as long as you’re on the grass directly in front of vehicle and not taking up an extra site. Then you stroll over to the concession stand because that’s all part of the movie experience. The staff is really friendly and the prices are the lowest in BC. You can get

a full range of beverages, candy, popcorn, nachos, hot dogs and fries. Movies start once it’s dark enough to project. For films and times call 250-838-6757 or visit www.starlightdrivein.ca.

South Enderby Flea Market

Even if shopping isn’t high on your ‘to do’ list while you’re on vacation, you have to try the South Enderby Flea Market. Shopping all of a sudden becomes a treasure-find as there are endless tables of unique collectables, trinkets, theme costumes, loud shirts, vintage clothes, handmade crafts, local fruit and veggies, freshly baked treats and books, lots and lots of books. Bring your appetite and taste some authentic bannock and other treats. This is truly a family fun and unique experience. You can find Halloween costumes, presents and memorabilia to remind you of the best vacation you’ve ever had. The South Enderby Flea Market is located on Highway 97A, south of Enderby, across from the Quilakwa Stop ‘N’ Shop Esso.

2015 SHUSWAP VISITORS’ GUIDE

MacKenzie Camp had its start in 1927 when Guy MacKenzie, the minister of St. Andrew’s United Church in Enderby, showed campers how to make fishing rods from local maple trees and how to tie flies. Back in the day, the campers slept in an old barn and the meals were prepared on a wood stove in a log house. Much has changed since then! Now there are cabins, canoes, kayaks and even a climbing wall. There’s a big craft hall, a spacious dining room, and a cruiser to whisk the visitors across the river mouth to the camp. Over the years, some 7000 campers have attended this camp, but the one thing remains the same–it’s a place where young people can come for fun, friendship, and adventure in this faith-based camp on the shores of Mabel Lake. mackenziecamp.ca

Grindrod

GOLF ENDERBY

Grindrod is a small, peaceful farming village north of Enderby following the Shuswap River. Grindrod Park is right on the edge of the river, where the water flows slow enough to be a great swimming area. The park is open for campers and has various picnic tables situated between the river bank and the baseball park, which also boasts a fantastic playground. What used to be Grindrod’s general store from the 1920’s is now Gordon’s New and Used, run for the last 36 years by Gordon Packham. The store’s inventory is made up of mostly hubcaps and wheel discs from automobiles that have been built over the last century. The last tally taken of the stacks and racks of hubcaps came to a whopping 28,453!

Nestled on the shores of Shuswap Lake, west of Salmon Arm on the Trans Canada Highway.

SICAMOUS Sicamous

The beauty of Sicamous, surrounded by the Monashee Mountains on the shores of Mara and Shuswap Lakes, will simply amaze you. Its natural beauty is an incredible draw for anyone who loves swimming, paddling, boating, fishing, hiking, golfing, cycling, wildlife viewing, and snowmobiling. Sicamous is also the undisputed “Houseboat Capital of Canada.” In the summer the waters are full of houseboats because it’s the best way to view Shuswap Lake in all its natural glory. You’re with family and friends, relaxed and unhurried as you travel around the lake in a

boat that offers the comforts of home. Imagine starting your day with a refreshing swim, spending the afternoon fishing, and ending the day with a campfire on the sandy beaches. Come and enjoy a relaxing houseboating experience on the warm, pristine lakes. It’s leisure at its best. The fall belongs to the hikers and cyclists as the colour of the leaves and cooling temperatures entice outdoor enthusiasts to their adventures along the numerous Sicamous-area trails (over 20) that range from easy half-hour loops to a 38 km loop of rugged and difficult terrain and everything in between.

In the winter it’s all about Ski-Doos. The Sicamous area boasts some of the best alpine snowmobiling in Western Canada with deep snow, powder-filled open bowls, endless meadows, groomed trails, breathtaking alpine scenery and spectacular lake views. The deep powder snow extends the sledding season well into the spring, ending around mid April. In fact, in the spring you really can snowmobile, golf and houseboat in a 72-hour time frame. Sicamous is truly a ‘recreation destination for all seasons.’

On average, Sicamous has some 4500 visitors during July and August. They come for several reasons. First of all, it’s the scenery and the outdoor adventures and sports, but they also appreciate the small-town friendly service they get all around Sicamous. Although it’s not a big city, the local shops really do have everything you need: clothing, candy, beach toys, giftware, jewelry, books, games, hats, supplies for your houseboat trip that you’ve just decided to take, and sunscreen which you will already need. There’s ice cream, specialty coffees, and really, really good food. Spoil yourself a little with a new hair cut, pedicure or massage – don’t wait until you go home. You can pick up a picnic lunch and enjoy it right beside the beautiful lake right near the downtown. People come to Sicamous to enjoy the lake but they stay because of the atmosphere and the downtown services that are the bedrock of this tourist haven.

The beautiful glacial blue water is pristine, clear, and sulphur-free.

Apr 16 - Oct 6

This is a popular spot for those wanting a relaxing weekend, or you can bring the ATVs for extensive riding on forestry roads and trails.

This is an affordable family get-away whether you’re looking for spacious fullkitchen accommodation cabins, or a nice treed RV or tenting site. There is a convention centre meeting room that can be used for family reunions or celebrations. www.crazycreekresort.com

The Enchanted Forest The Enchanted Forest really is enchanting. This forest, the home of fairytale heroes, villains, and creatures, magically makes you want to come again and again. It really is like stepping back in time and into another world. The main trail meanders through one of BC’s beautiful old-growth forests and takes you to homes of Goldilocks, Snow White, the Three Little Pigs and even Captain Hook. See over 350 jolly folk art figurines, BC’s tallest, grandest treehouse that rises fifty feet into the forest canopy, and a giant stump house with surprises around every corner. While you visit the Enchanted Forest take a photo or a video and submit it before August 30th and you could win a complimentary season’s pass for 2016. You can also take a rowboat through the wetlands and see beaver dams, lodges and floating natural gardens, and frogs on lily pads. Or take the boardwalk through the Wildlands, a two-kilometre walk through this lush forest and see a giant 800-yearold cedar grove. www.enchantedforestbc.com

At Sky Trek Adventure Park you can fit a vacation-full of adrenaline rush into one day. It’s adventure, challenge and fun as you try zip lines, a giant swing, an aerial trekking course, or the new Indiana Jones climbing wall in the middle of old growth BC rainforest just 32 kilometres west of Revelstoke, right beside the Enchanted Forest. The kids will love the Kids’ Tree Adventures course and the Kids’ Jungle Gym. On the Aerial Trekking Course you climb from tree to tree on ladders, scramble up nets, over suspended bridges, and swinging logs, fly down zip lines or even slide to the next tree on a skateboard. Or test your nerve on Adventure Tower. At 15 metres off the ground you can try the sky swing, sky drop, two climbing walls, log climb and Jacob’s Ladder. For a total adrenaline rush try the Sky Swing - a giant pendulum swing that draws you 15 metres high before a terrifying free fall through the forest; the less adventurous can simply swing in a hammock, provided courtesy of Sky Trek Adventure Park, no pressure...

During the busy season you should phone ahead to make reservations. Wear comfortable outdoor clothing, shoes or sports sandals (must have a strap around the heel, flip flops are not allowed) and appropriate dress for the weather and for climbing trees. www.skytrekadventurepark.com

You’re welcome to bring your own equipment for water skiing, sailing,

fishing, swimming and wind surfing on Three Valley Lake. Located just west of Revelstoke on the Trans Canada Highway, it’s ideal for an overnight stay, a relaxing weekend, or mid-week holiday from the pressures of your everyday world.

The river has high water levels from June through early July, so you can expect some pretty fast-paced action. In later July and August the lower water levels make it perfect for families with smaller children.
