Come participate in children’s activities that involve interactive songs with movement to promote early literacy and good old-fashioned fun!

Looking for a way for your French immersion children to practice their second language over the summer? Why not check out BC Family French Camp? This is a unique, week-long opportunity for families to come together and have their children immersed in French while enjoying fun and educational summer-camp activities. The camp experience is offered in three BC locations over the summer, including locally at Pierre’s Point Campground (just west of Salmon Arm on Hwy 1). Families camp in their own tents or trailers. Together, they form a friendly neighbourhood, surrounded by the sounds of children playing and singing in French. Parents enjoy a rewarding blend of lounging time and sharing in a variety of small volunteer duties while their children use their French in a wonderful outdoor setting with their entertaining and energetic French-speaking moniteurs. And parents, you don’t have to be able to speak French! Your children enjoy outdoor activities at the campground and in the surrounding area. Depending on the site, these activities can include swimming and water play, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, nature study, orienteering, archery, singing, games, decorating T-shirts, arts and crafts, and a sleep out under the stars, weather-permitting. Evening activities for the whole family include night games, volleyball or kickball, communal dessert, communal dinner, and sing-along campfires. The BC Family French Camp began small in 1983 with one camp and 40 children. It has now grown to three well-established sites offering great opportunities for almost 800 children and over 400 families per year in the five weeks of programs. Its success lies in the hard work of dedicated
volunteers, who work tirelessly to operate BCFFC, and develop and run programs that are unique to each camp location. The philosophy of BC Family French Camp is to give French immersion children the opportunity to use French outside the classroom and to have fun doing it. But French Camp is more than that — it provides a real experience for the entire family in safe and friendly surroundings. Many happy memories are always made at BC Family French Camp. The Shuswap Lake summer camp is being held for two weeks: Week 1: July 4-July 11; and Week 2: July 11-July 18. Each camp is a week in length; you choose which week works best for your summer schedule. While people come from all over BC and Alberta to attend the Shuswap camp, local residents are uniquely placed to enjoy the camp experience while being close to home in case of work or other commitments through the week. For more information about BC Family French Camp, including details specific to the Pierre’s Point location, visit http://www. bcffc.com/sl/. Applications to attend are now being accepted; find the form online. Photos contributed.

Agreement to acquire rail land
On June 6, 2015, Splatsin, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD), and the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) have approved a Memorandum of Understanding regarding the pursuit of the acquisition of the Canadian Pacific owned Okanagan Shuswap Railway. This will be the foundation for collaboration among the three jurisdictions for the proposed acquisition of the Okanagan Shuswap railway. Kukpi7 (Chief) Wayne Christian states that this Memorandum of Understanding and the opportunity to work together in pursuing the Okanagan Shuswap Railway will promote communication and strengthen relationships between
their respective communities and residents, saying, “We need to work together to invest in the Region for all our people and our collective future.” “The opportunity to collaborate with the Splatsin and the CSRD on such an important regional initiative also opens the door for all three jurisdictions to work on future joint efforts,” says Rick Fairbairn, RDNO. He is appreciative of the cooperative spirit of all parties during the development of the MOU and looks forward to maintaining that throughout this significant project. CSRD Board Chair Rhona Martin comments that she is excited that the CSRD has been able to partner with the
Splatsin and the RDNO; this is a big step forward and very much looks forward to working with Splatsin and RDNO as this initiative is explored. The Chair adds that she hopes this is the beginning of a long and successful working relationship between communities. Splatsin reported that in late 2014 the community had successfully negotiated with CP Rail to acquire 11.7 hectares (29 acres) of the discontinued railway corridor between Sicamous and Armstrong. This includes a 1.5 kilometre section south of Sicamous along the shores of Mara Lake, and an approximately 4 kilometre section south of Enderby.

As many as 1 in 3 children will experience sexual abuse–a startling statistic. Many of the individuals who come and seek clinical counselling services have a history of sexual abuse, and continue to experience many negative symptoms as a result. Those with a history of sexual abuse also tend to wonder how they can protect their own children from also suffering from sexual abuse, and long to stop the cycle. There are a number of protective factors parents can put in place to prevent sexual abuse, but two of the most important are to set up appropriate language with your children, as well as respecting their body’s boundaries. Although many find it uncomfortable, teaching children as early as possible the anatomically appropriate names for their “private parts” is empowering for the child and serves as protection. Children who know these terms are less likely to be abused, and are also more likely to report the abuse to a safe adult if it does happen. If a child does not know the term for where they have been touched inappropriately, how can they use their voice to say it is not OK and let someone know? Additionally, respecting a child’s physical boundaries from birth onwards empowers the child to know both what consent is, and what inappropriate touch is. In our culture we often force children to give a hug and kiss to a loved one before saying goodbye, or before saying goodnight, despite the child’s protest. If a child continually receives the message that despite them saying “no” an adult seeks physical affection from them, they learn that their word and boundaries for their body do not matter. Respecting “no” for wanting affection and validating the child’s response serves as a great means of protection.

GMOs and fast foods
Everyone knows (hopefully) that genetically modified foods (GMOs) and their accompanying pesticides are known to be very dangerous to our health. This is a huge controversy over the past decade with two opposing opinions on their safety. On one side, the giant biotechnology corporations like Monsanto, BASF, Bayer, Dupont, Syngenta and DOW are pushing their genetically modified foods and pesticides claiming their research shows these foods and chemicals are perfectly safe for consumption and the environment. On the other side of this fight are members of the public who do not trust these safety claims, and have done their own research to show these products are having a significant negative impact on our health and many aspects of the environment. What is upsetting to many on the anti-GMO side is the regulatory bodies within government appear to be quite supportive of these corporations. Not surprisingly, this would be due largely to the fact that these corporations provide billions of dollars in lobbying and marketing our politicians to maintain their stronghold. While it appears there is no political will to take on these corporate giants, I believe this fight will be won on the ground by the public through their actions. In fact, history has shown time and time again that these fights are always won by the will of the people forcing change from the “ground up,” hardly ever from the “top down.” At a seminar our staff attended last year in California, one of the speakers was Jeffrey M. Smith, author of the book Seeds of Deception and the producer of the documentary Genetic Roulette. We found his lecture to be very encouraging, as he stated we will, and
have already started to, win the GMO fight. He believes that in the near future these biotech companies will start losing their stronghold on our food and our environment and I believe his prediction is coming true. While I am frequently writing about the importance of a healthy diet, the reality is, in North America fast food restaurants hold a significant portion of the restaurant market, and many highly-processed foods are loaded with GMO ingredients. What I find extremely encouraging is that a fast-food chain in America–Chipotle Mexican Grill–is the first to now reject GMO foods in all of their meals. Chipotle executives were quoted as saying, “This is another step toward the visions we have of changing the way people think about and eat fast food... Just because food is served fast doesn’t mean it has to be made with cheap raw ingredients, highly processed with preservatives and fillers and stabilizers and artificial colours and flavours.” As with any corporation, significant changes in the operation of the business are mostly carried out to increase profitability and market share. The free markets have started to speak through consumers actions and spending habits. And this move by Chipotle signals that sufficient consciousness of the dangers of GMOs has reached a tipping point. One can only hope this is the first of many fast food corporations who begin to offer more products made with ingredients raised with care for animals, farmers, and the environment.

The Epic Sports Academy is offering two camps for boys and girls between the ages of seven and 12 in Armstrong and Salmon Arm. The Mega Sports camps go July 6-10 at Armstrong Elementary School and Shuswap Middle School from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily.

The second camp, called Sports in Action, takes place Aug. 10-14 at the same schools. The camps involve more teamwork and imagination. Campers will have a blast playing dodgeball, ultimate Frisbee, floor hockey, handball and capture the flag. Coaches Gregg and Michelle Nicholson, who teach at schools in Armstrong, have both taught

LEGION’S PIG ROAST ON SUNDAY WAS A BLAST! The pork was delicious! The roasted pig was carried into the Legion on a spit at 4:30 p.m. as advertised, with a raw apple in its mouth. The hall was packed, the meat was sliced, the buffet tables were laden, and the people at my table were good company. Our table was the last to be called and it was worth the wait, except some of us had become tipsy. I googled ‘pig for pig roast’ and found many websites. Pigs come in all sizes depending on the number of people at the party, and websites have instructions for roasting. TWO OUTSTANDING MUSICIANS WANT AN AUDIENCE Two young musicians are putting on a recital together on June 18 and 19 in Salmon Arm. Andrew Stoney, music director for St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Salmon Arm, is a pianist. Jonathan Stuchbery of Penticton is currently studying classical guitar at McGill University. The two met when playing in the Okanagan Symphony Youth Orchestra together; Jonathan on the French horn and Andrew on timpani/percussion. Andrew says there is some incredibly beautiful music written for guitar and piano that does not get heard very often. This recital will feature classical music from the Caribbean, Mediterranean and South America. Andrew chose St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church as the recital venue because it has the best acoustics in town, and the grand piano is in excellent shape while still retaining an old romantic sound from its near 100-yearold soundboard. The recitals will be held at 7:30 p.m. on June 18 and 19 in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Admission by donation. A light reception will follow each performance. A recital will be held in Penticton on July 5. SOUTH SHUSWAP CHAMBER ACCEPTED AN AWARD Karen Brown, general manager of the South Shuswap Chamber of Commerce, accepted a wonderful award on behalf of the board of directors at the B.C. Chamber of Commerce AGM in Prince George. The chamber was recognized for its hard work in revitalizing the chamber to almost 100 members in just 16 months. Also noted during the presentation in front of over 300 delegates was the chamber’s brave new approach, operating as a virtual chamber, pioneering a new working model to meet the needs of its business members. If you are interested in joining the South Shuswap Chamber of Commerce, visit www.southshuswapchamber.com or call Karen at 250515-0002. GOT A SHOPPERS’ GUIDE SOCCER SHIRT? About 30 years ago this paper sponsored a men’s soccer team. Most players were teenagers, friends of my kids. When a women’s soccer team began playing, I switched sponsorship to the teenaged girls. After a few years I noticed the other newspapers in town did not sponsor any sports teams, so I cancelled. If you have a Shoppers’ Guide soccer shirt, write me at sallys1@telus. net. In 1997 the paper’s name was changed to Lakeshore News after buying Shuswap Sun from Conrad Black’s company. NEW CHURCH ON THE NORTH SHUSWAP When delivering Seymour Arm historical books to the North Shuswap, I stopped at the former book store in the strip mall at #3-3968 Squilax-Anglemont Rd., and found Pastor Peter King in the new Victory Church of the
Shuswap, an extension of Victory Churches of Canada. The Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. services will offer extended times of worship and prayer, starting June 13th. The first regular Sunday services will start on Father’s Day, June 21, at 10:30 a.m. Pastor Peter has been ministering in the area of addictions for 35 years, based on his own personal experiences. He and his wife Robyn take people through a program of “Inner healing prayer” to get to the root of people’s problems. Part of the process of being set free is also raising up teams of folks who’ve gone through the ministry and received healing.

TAPPEN CO-OP’S 100TH ANNIVERSARY LAST WEEK My large ice-cream cone on Friday was delicious, especially because it was scooped by Andy Munro, manager of the Tappen Co-op. He was pleased with the 225 people who were at the 100-year celebration dinner at Sunnybrae Bible Camp, and the number of people who came to see the entertainment and outdoor displays at the store. The weather was hot all three days, June 4, 5 and 6. SUNNYBRAE BIBLE CAMP IS 75 THIS YEAR On Sunday, June 21, the annual Sunnybrae Celebration will take place. It will be the camp’s 75th anniversary. Festivities start at 2 p.m. with games and fun for all ages. The celebration service will be held at 4 p.m. followed by a chicken barbecue at 5:30 p.m. A free-will offering will be taken. (Sunnybrae Citizen) I WAS BLASTED FOR WELCOMING MUSLIMS In the May 22 column I wrote that almost 1,000 Muslims spent the Victoria Day weekend in Salmon Arm. Read it on the archived column at www.lakeshorenews. bc.ca. The following week Barry Campbell blasted me in a letter to the editor in Lakeshore News for welcoming a religious group that is male-dominated, and for suggesting that the next time they come, I would arrange to have our female mayor welcome them. He also disliked that they brought their own food. Lorne Reimer, who owns FridayAM, wrote in a June 5 editorial that he received a similar letter but chose not to print it. In one paragraph Lorne states: “Well, tourists regularly stock up on food before they leave home (it’s a free country); every culture has male and female get-togethers; and every culture has its troublemakers who find verses in their Bibles and Korans to support their extreme and hateful views.” CALGARY’S MUSLIM MAYOR IS BEST IN THE WORLD Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi has been awarded the 2014 World Mayor Prize in February 2015. He was named the No. 1 mayor in the world by an international urban research institute. The group says he has become the “most admired mayor” of any large Canadian city. He is an urban visionary who doesn’t neglect the nitty-gritty of local government and is a role model to many in North America and Europe for decisive management, inclusivity and forward thinking. BLIND BAY RESORT NEARS COMPLETION It’s been a tough 8-year approval process for Dan Baskill and family in completing development of Blind Bay Resort, but it’s all coming together now. Many potential owners will be coming to see the resort and waterfront this summer, hoping to establish themselves as part of the community.
While showing me around the property on a golf cart, Dan said he has the construction permit from Interior Health, the engineering has been approved, and the services now can be installed. All that is needed now is a signature of approval from the Ministry of Highways on a PLA document to trigger the final steps. Dan had hoped to have this all done earlier, instead of scrambling before the summer traffic arrives, but the process continues to take valuable time. It’s pretty exciting to see it all come together, though, and the Baskills welcome the community to check things out. OTC RESTAURANT AT BLIND BAY IS OPEN Before the Blind Bay Village Grocer opened its large new store at 2798 Balmoral Road near Blind Bay, it was located on property that is now a restaurant that faces Blind Bay. Owner Dan Baskill said it seats 75 and is open seven days a week, serving breakfast, lunch and event dinners. Part of the building has the business office for Blind Bay Resort. The lower potion houses a luxurious rec room, that serves various community groups in the off-season. To book an event at the restaurant, call 250-675-2700. TAKE DAD TO R.J.

I DID NOT PAY TOO MUCH FOR DISABILITY TAX CREDIT A regular reader and a harsh critic read a letter in my June 5 column from Susan Grimes of H&R Block that her charge for getting on disability would have been $240. He immediately wrote me these following points: I was ripped off by Enabled Financial Solutions; did I go back to the bandits in Victoria and ask why they charged me almost 10 times more; did I and others demand an adjustment from Nellie Krombach; did I file a complaint with the BBB. I will give some of the points I gave Susan Grimes after her first long letter to me: The company was started by a Victoria nurse with a back problem who had a lot of trouble getting on disability. She thought there must be others who are frustrated with the application process and that’s why she started Enabled Financial Solutions. She engaged a chartered accountant who checks every application before it is submitted to Canada Revenue Agency. Once an application reaches CRA, it is tracked. I would never have applied for disability tax credit myself, especially when a financial expert told me doctors and audiologists hate filling applications. I trusted Nellie Krombach with my application during the eight-month process. She is a specialist. Many people called her as a result of my article and have become clients. Some had applied and been denied. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831 The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of Sally Scales and do not necessarily represent those of Lakeshore News and its staff.

South Shuswap Chamber lauded at provincial AGM
Last week, at the BC Chamber of Commerce AGM held in Prince George, the South Shuswap Chamber of Commerce was presented with a newly-created award in honour of its work and diligence in revitalizing the Chamber. General Manager Karen Brown (pictured) accepted the award in Prince George on behalf of the Board of Directors, from BC C h a m b e r Executive James B e l s h e i m , President of Neptune Terminals, who sponsored the award. Outgoing President and CEO of the BC Chamber John Winter and Mr. Belsheim both had words of praise for the South Shuswap Chamber at the AGM Delegates’ Welcome Dinner. The South Shuswap Chamber of Commerce had been nominated by its membership for BC Chamber of the Year and although that distinction went to the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, Mr.
Belsheim and others took notice of the accomplishments of the South Shuswap Chamber. Mr. Belsheim and Mr. Winter, at the awards dinner, shared with over 300 delegates that the South Shuswap Chamber, under a new Board of Directors and Administration, had taken a chamber on hiatus with zero members to one of over 100 members in 16 m o n t h s . Referring to it as a phoenix arising from the ashes, the recognition was appropriately named ‘The Comeback’ Award for 2015. At a time when the needs and services of a Chamber of Commerce are changing, the South Shuswap Chamber was applauded for their ‘Chamber of Change’ working model. They are the only virtual Chamber in the province, giving up their chamber office during the revitalization. “Business owners don’t have the time in
Teaching your kids about beans
Last week the Junior Bean Counter’s little brother was desperately saving for a hockey stick and trying to sell everything he could get his hands on in order to reach his goal. Well, he’s definitely reached his goal now as he conveniently had a birthday this past week and the grandparents always seem to come through in these times of need. Watching him diligently counting his money each night got me to thinking about articles I’ve written in the past about teaching your kids about money. Remember parents, don’t leave this to the school system, as it is ultimately your responsibility to teach your children about these things. Thankfully, the school system is doing some work in this regard, but what they get at school should be a supplement to what they are hopefully getting at home. So how do you do it? Well, first and foremost, ensure you know what you are talking about. If you don’t or your own finances are a mess; then please get them figured out and don’t pass on bad habits to the kids. Perhaps, having that conversation with your 9-year-old will be a good reminder for you to get your house in order. You might say you don’t know where to start. Well, if you don’t know the basics, then find someone who does and ask the question. Furthermore, there are so many great resources available today whether at your bank/credit union or online. All you need to do is google “teaching kids about money” and you’ll get a million results. Here are a few of Mall Arkey Junior’s suggestions: 1. For the younger ages, it is as simply as teaching them about the different coins and bills and eventually tying that into an allowance. 2. By 4 or 5 years of age, a great place to teach them about money is a grocery store. You can cut coupons together, review the grocery receipt as they help you put the groceries away or discuss prices of items while shopping. 3. Between 6 and 10, take them to the bank and open them an account. Again, talk and explain
their day to drop everything and visit the Chamber office; we choose to come to them,” says Brown. “Our Board meetings are held at various businesses in the community, which affords our Board members to have a keen pulse on the businesses and their needs. Our model facilitates more face-to-face engagement which I feel the membership appreciates and it certainly fosters more networking and member-to-member opportunities which are key to a business’ success.” Upon accepting the award, Brown thanked the Kamloops and Salmon Arm Chambers of Commerce for their mentorship, and expressed gratitude to the South Shuswap’s Board of Directors who work tirelessly as volunteers to see the Chamber succeed. This year’s Board of Directors are President Brad Davies of The Lighthouse Market, Vice President Tim Thompson, Treasurer Nancy Bell, Mark Lane of Dreamcycle Motorcyle Museum, Dan Baskill of Blind Bay Resort, Gareth Seys of Shuswap Marina, Dustin Harasym of Sorrento Tirecraft, Brad Long of Launch Construction, Dave Brice of Pacific West Home Inspections, and Karen Walters of High Country Tree Farm.

by Daron Mayes the process and the idea of savings. As the kids get older, you simply start adding layers of detail that should eventually lead to discussions around the family budget; giving them insight into just how much it costs to run a household. This will not only help them understand how to run their own household, but also teach them to appreciate the value of the “stuff” they have or consume. So be creative, make it fun and start at a young age. I think you’ll be surprised at just how much the little bean counters will understand if you just take the time.

New detailing and tinting shop open Two weeks ago Paul Barbosa (above) opened Shuswap Auto Detailing & Window Tinting at 410 5th Street SW right beside Rainbow Auto Glass. Paul does XPEL paint protection film, scratch removal and chip repair, exterior polishing and complete interior detailing, commercial, residential, and automotive tinting, fallout and rust removal. Paul has 30 years experience with the industry. He started in Terrace, B.C. where he worked for various dealerships and eventually owned his own shop for 15 years. He sold it just over four years ago and he moved to Salmon Arm with his wife, Amanda, and sons, Dominic and Nicholas. They moved here to be closer to family and to get a little more sun. Paul worked for a local dealership but missed the days of owning his own shop, so he went into business for himself again. Amanda owns her own dog grooming business, Grooming Tails, which she operates out of Total Pet Supplies. When they aren’t working they’re busy with their sons’ sports: baseball, soccer, hockey, golf and boxing. On the rare occasion when Paul gets time off, he enjoys riding his Harley or spending time on the lake on his pontoon boat. Contact Paul at 250-253-6844. The shop is open from Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Shuswap Bliss participates to beat world record Dermalogica Canada is competing to set the world record in Face Mapping and beat the current champion, Dermalogica Australia to Face Map more than 15,000 people from April – June, 2015.

From time to time Blain’s Biz will feature a business in the industrial park to let people know what kind of industries and services are there. Lakeside Fasteners Ltd opened last August in the Salmon Arm Industrial Park. They are located at Unit 5, 5270 Auto Road SE, between Trish’s Country Kitchen and Gemm
Diesel. Although they have been in Salmon Arm for under a year, they have been serving the North Okanagan and Shuswap for many years from their main store in Kelowna. “The Salmon Arm location is a logical extension of that and also offers many products that the Kelowna store does not,” says Gord Field. “Lakeside Fasteners is in the business of selling construction and industrial fasteners, tools and various types of other products, something we are told repeatedly that Salmon Arm really needs. The response to date has been awesome.” Their product selection includes, but is definitely not limited to, all types of fasteners from collated nails, structural screws and concrete fasteners for construction to Grade 8 and Class 10 alloy fasteners for the considerable industrial, repair and maintenance operations that go on in the area. They also feature a full selection of galvanized fasteners plus stainless steel in both imperial (inch) and metric sizes. They like to think they’ve got something for everyone and every commercial enterprise. They stock and sell a wide selection of hardware from hooks, hinges, u-bolts, turnbuckles and pipe fittings —to name a few, to log wraps, lifting chain, cable, slings and other rigging products. They also represent many national brands of tools and accessories from companies such as Jet, Walter Surface Technologies, Starrett and others. “Although we are aimed at serving to the construction and industrial base in Salmon Arm, the North Okanagan and Shuswap, we do sell to anyone and have solved numerous fastener conundrums for a wide variety of businesses and citizens,” says Gord, who is responsible for technical, inside sales, inventory and website administration. Tim Alstad does counter sales and is the ‘on-the-road guy.’ Matt Dobrowolski will be joining their team this month as receiver and counter sales. They are open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You can visit their website at lakesidefasteners.ca or call them at 250-832-1150. Upcoming workshop The “Together Shuswap - Building Bridges for a Better Future” workshop will be held on Wednesday, June 10th at Quaaout Lodge. The registration fee of $40 includes lunch and refreshments. Youth between the ages of 16-24 get in free of charge. The purpose of the workshop is to bring the cultures, governments, sectors and community members of the Shuswap together for a day of education, celebration, sharing, exploration, and action toward creating a better Shuswap for all of its people. Services for seniors Occasionally Blain’s Biz will feature a business that is especially dedicated to, or helpful for seniors. If you have a business that fits this category, please contact me (Leah) at blainsbiz@lakeshorenews.bc.ca Kellie Kermack has a home-based business called Sew Special Clothing Alterations and Repairs. She started her business just over two years ago but has been employed as a seamstress for over 15 years. She grew up and raised her family in Salmon Arm. What is particularly helpful about Kellie’s business is that it is mobile.
Celebrating business anniversaries Diana Shaw (above) opened The Tea & Spice Shoppe a year ago last week on Alexander Street. This Saturday, June 13, all customers who go into the store will have their names put in for a gift basket. All items in the store will be 10 per cent off on Saturday. Jeanne Duram opened her new business Jeanne’s Printing & Graphics at 605 – 3 Ave SW in Salmon Arm a year ago last month. Congratulations Vi Owens (right) celebrated her 102nd birthday on June 4.

Winnipeg Police Pipe Band performs at tattoo
The Organizing Committee of the Okanagan Military Tattoo 2015 (OMT2015) is pleased to announce that the Winnipeg Police Pipe Band (http:// wppb.ca) will be performing at the second annual Okanagan Military Tattoo at Kal Tire Place in Vernon on July 25 and 26. Since 1920, the Winnipeg Police Pipe Band has stirred the hearts of fans of military music everywhere. Resplendent in their Royal Stewart Tartan, the 60 plus members of the band have set their sights on promoting Scottish Heritage through recitals, concerts and other events. The band has been honoured to perform for a number of royal and foreign dignitary visits including two by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. From 1939 until the early 1980’s, only members of the Winnipeg Police Force were permitted membership in the band. However, due to promotions and retirements, the band began to include volunteer pipers and drummers
as it does to this day. The current band includes police officers, fire fighters, military personnel, accountants, tradesmen, business own-
ers and representatives of many industries, however, tradition dictates that the role of Pipe Major (band leader) is filled by a serving officer in the police service. One of the band’s regular functions since 1961 has been the Canadian
Charitable donations
Donations of private shares and real estate to registered charities and other qualified recipients are currently subject to taxable capital gains. To facilitate support from Canadians giving to charitable organizations, Economic Action Plan 2015 proposes to exempt individual and corporate donors from tax on the sale of private shares of real estate to an arm’s length party when the proceeds are donated within 30 days. If a portion of the proceeds is donated, the exemption from capital gains tax would apply to that portion. This measure will apply to donations in respect to dispositions occurring after 2016. This is great news for charities like the Shuswap Community Foundation, Shuswap Hospital Foundation, Vernon Hospital Foundation and many more charities in our communities. The broadening of the tax exemption on capital gains will benefit charitable organizations of all types – from hospitals, universities and cultural groups to the vast network of social service agencies funded by the
Football Leagues Grey Cup festivities. The band is proud to be the only Pipe Band in Canada to have performed in every Grey Cup city in Canada. They have also performed at many other prestigious events including the Rose Bowl Parade and the World Curling Championships. In addition to the Winnipeg Police Pipe Band, the Okanagan Tattoo will host the RCMP Ceremonial Troop, the Band of the Royal Canadian Artillery, the Vancouver Naval Veterans Band, the Delta Police Pipe Band as well as local singers, dancers, first responders, cadets and local pipe bands. Tickets for the Okanagan Military Tattoo are available at the Vernon Ticket Seller Box Office at 3800 - 33 Street or by calling 549-SHOW (7469). Tickets can also be purchased online at www.ticketseller.ca For more information on the Okanagan Military Tattoo, check out www.okanagantattoo.ca.

United Way across Canada. This will be a cost-effective way of unlocking more private wealth for the public good. It is estimated that this tax saving will cost federal revenues around $265 million between 2016 and 2020. Our government also has in past budgets introduced a First Time Donor’s Super Credit which is available on cash donations of up to $1000 made before 2018, to encourage young Canadians and first-time donors to support charitable organizations.

Our government has also reduced the administrative burden on charities; eliminating a number of disbursement quota requirements and allowing charities to focus more of their time and resources on the good work they do. These improvements to Canada’s tax regulations will benefit Canadian charities by allowing them to draw on broader supports and expand the good work that they do.
DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS
Water Conservation Sprinkling Regulations Residents of Sicamous are requested to use water wisely in an effort to avoid potential loss of potable water supply. Property owners/residents are reminded that sprinkling regulations are in force effective May 15th, and sprinkling using conservation is permitted as follows: Between 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Even numbered houses water on even numbered days. Odd numbered houses water on odd numbered days. Regulations are in effect until September 15th. Property owners with automated sprinkling systems are permitted to water for a maximum of one (1) hour per programmed cycle between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 5:00 a.m. on any day of the week. Please help us help you ensure we have effective water management strategies. As a reminder, please note the following: • Frequent watering promotes shallow root growth that, in turn, requires more frequent watering. • Your lawn can become ‘addicted’ to water. The more frequently you water it, the more water it requires. • Lawns require only 15 mm (½ inch) every 2-3 days. You can measure this with an empty can or pie plate. This can greatly reduce the amount of water used.

Brisbane, Australia
Bunny and Al Krawczyk went on a big trip in the first part of 2015, to visit their son in Australia and see some other parts of the world that they’ve never been to before. They write: “Our son moved to Australia and knowing we could never do a direct flight, we decided to turn it into the trip of our life. We left Kelowna Dec 30th, 2014, spent a few days with relatives, then off to Kona, Hawaii, on January 2, 2015. “We spent a week in Kona, then on to Tahiti, where we spent one week in the “Tarzan House,” a small cabana on the ocean. Then we cruised for a week in the Polynesian islands: Mo’orea, Bora Bora, etc. Four more days in the Tahitian capital of Pape’ete. Then we were off to Brisbane, Australia (pictured) to get in three weeks of Grandma and Grandpa time, where we visited Hamilton Island, Tin Can Bay, Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. “We took a quick flight over to
Adelaide for some wine tours and a visit to Kangaroo Island. Next, we were off to the north island of New Zealand. Landing in Wellington, renting a car with no real schedule other than having to be in Auckland in 15 days. Winding our way past Hawkes Bay (more wine country), on to lake Taupo, Tairua, Coronandel and then spending a few days at Paihia in the Bay of Islands. We flew from Auckland to Fiji, just missing cyclone Pam that devastated the island of Vanuatu. From Fiji we flew to Honolulu for four days and then home on March 28th. “We have so many stories and experiences, and are so glad we did it while we have our health and mobility. It really was a trip of a lifetime.” Bunny and Al receive $10 for having their picture printed, and are entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2015.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Walk Off The Earth headlines new festival
Walk Off The Earth, the multi-talented five-piece musical phenomenon that is currently taking the world by storm, will headline the inaugural Axis Mundi Festival on September 19th at the outdoor amphitheatre at Revelstoke Mountain Resort’s Revelation Lodge. With over 165 million views, Walk Off The Earth’s brilliant 5-people-playing-one-guitar interpretation of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know” exploded on YouTube three years ago. The overwhelming fan response quickly drew attention to their collection of innovative songs and videos spanning their last five years, and generated an unprecedented flood of media interest. Featuring multi-instrumentalists Gianni Luminati, Marshall, and Sarah Blackwood on vocals, Taylor on keyboards, and Joel Cassady on drums, Walk Off The Earth has now accumulated almost a half billion cumulative YouTube views and more than two million subscribers. They are one of the few artists to continually and successfully find success on both DIY online platforms and throughout the traditional music marketplace.
In 2013 their debut album, R.E.V.O., marked them as an inventive force to be reckoned with, hitting the Billboard Top Albums chart. The band’s highly anticipated sophomore album, Sing It All Away, is set to be released on June 16th via Columbia Records. Response to the March 31st release of “Rule The World,” the album’s debut single, has echoed their previous success, with the official video garnering a phenomenal 2.5 million views in just a month and a half. Now touring in support of Sing It All Away, the band is playing to sold out venues across North America and will perform on the Axis Mundi Festival main stage on September 19th, 2015. Revelstoke’s new outdoor lifestyle and music festival, Axis Mundi is an experiential event where inspiration comes from innovative ideas and ground-breaking music, making it a natural fit for Walk Off The Earth’s organic, independent and honest style and for the band’s last Canadian festival date before embarking on their European tour in October. Find out more about the festival at http://axismundi.ca/
Enderby & District Arts Council brings electrifying master bluesman of the harmonica Sherman “Tank” Doucette & his band Tankful of Blues to kick off this year’s Music by the River series. Rated as one of the best blues singer and blues harp harmonica players in the business, the Kelowna-based Sherman Doucette and his band are regularly wowing and entertaining audiences throughout the Okanagan Valley and Shuswap. They played the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues festival in 2009 and 2014; they were the 2008 Blues Artist/Group of the year at the BC Interior Music
Awards, and voted “Best Local Musician/Group” in Okanagan Life Magazine over three years. Doucette brings his usual high energy “blues on fire” style to the fans with his classic blues voice – deep, gravely, oozing soul. If you love good boogie, blues & soul, don’t miss this performance on Sunday, June 21st, 7:00 p.m. at Belvidere Park, Enderby, by the bridge. This concert is free, with donations accepted during intermission. Bring a chair or blanket. In case of rain, the concert will be moved to the Enderby Drill Hall, Hwy 97A, South Enderby.

Theatre on the Edge
Shuswap Theatre has just announced the lineup for the first-ever Theatre on the Edge Festival running July 24-26. Festival goers can see seven plays in three days, or pick a time and pick a play and sample one or more of the offerings. Performances run from noon to night-time, and the Edge Club is open on the patio during the festival to offer free entertainment, food, drink and great conversation. “We’re excited to bring plays to our stage that people wouldn’t otherwise get the chance to see,” says Theatre on the Edge coordinator Jaci Metivier. “The idea is to bring together Salmon Arm theatre artists doing something out of the ordinary alongside companies from out of town doing edgier productions – things that wouldn’t normally be seen in Shuswap Theatre’s regular season.” Four local theatre artists are on the schedule. Nina Dickins is offering her solo play about a quiet churchman’s wife with a surprising secret. Julia Body is directing the dark comedy, A Bench at the Edge, Peter Blacklock’s A Very Silly Love Story concerns two people, a shipwreck and a bad case of amnesia.
Calvin White will be presenting his exploration of the metaphysics of life and death, previously performed at the Vancouver Fringe Festival. Three out of town companies round out the program. Fred Skelton, last year’s Theatre BC Mainstage winner, is a Kelowna theatre company that’s creating a lot of buzz. They’re bringing their production of Christie in Love, a three person play about serial killer John Christie. Saucy Fops from Kamloops will feature multiple short comedic plays, and Katrina Kadoski is coming from Sooke with her touring musical play about the life of legendary pioneer Cougar Annie. All shows run under 60 minutes. Tickets are $10 with three, five and seven show passes available. Advance tickets and more information about artists and schedules will be available in mid-June at www. shuswaptheatre.com or on Facebook.

The show is 20-30 minutes and will include death-defying stunts, jokes, and stories. Tianna will perform several times during the day. In lieu of admission, donations will be accepted at the end of the show. Patrons are encouraged to come early and enjoy the market atmosphere while waiting for the show to begin. Originally from Revelstoke, Tianna is spending June touring the Okanagan and Kootenays. She explains, “Growing up in Revelstoke I was always thrilled when a visiting performance came to town. It was exciting. Now I have the opportunity to bring that inspiration and wonder back to small communities like mine.” After completing her BC tour, Tianna will be performing across Canada before heading to Scotland, Austria, and Spain. Off stage, Tianna is Miranda Allen. Miranda is a classically-trained actor who has performed in theatres across
Canada and in Sydney, Australia. Now living in Edmonton, Alberta, Miranda acts in live theatre and performs internationally with her street show and circus characters. She comes home to BC whenever she can to catch up with family, ski, and enjoy the natural beauty. For more information on Miranda or Tianna the Traveller visit www. mirandaallen.ca.

By Jeff Nagel, Black Press Opposition New Democrats claim they’ve found more examples of government staffers destroying records to stymie information requests. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham is already investigating the allegations of a transportation ministry staff member who said a supervisor deleted emails from his computer so they wouldn’t be considered for public release through a Freedom of Information request for records related to the Highway of Tears. NDP critic Doug Routley said he has asked Denham to look into three more cases where FOI requests yielded no documents even though the NDP knew they exist because they turned up in overlapping information requests. “It’s clear that these public records are being routinely and deliberately destroyed, and the people of British Columbia deserve to know why,” Routley said.

Revelstoke logging adventures
The blue Canyon Creek suburban 4x4 bounced and lurched as driver Lorne manoeuvred the narrow twisting road up Coffee Creek, an old mining road, on the east side of Trout Lake. Finally reaching alpine, Ivan and I stepped out to glass for large mule deer bucks. Just then a very large grizzly bear mom with two cubs came into view. Stopping, she turned over a large boulder, and the cubs scrambled for grubs. She then spotted a squirrel, which scrambled to the top of a small balsam t r e e . Charging over, she violently shook the tree, sending the little critter flying into scrub brush below. Mom did a belly flop onto the brush, and came up with the squirrel. As she and the babies disappeared, we strolled over, and you know, the three of us couldn’t nudge that boulder! We glassed 5 large bucks bedded on a glade, but also observed snowcapped peaks, and range after range of the Gold/Selkirk mountains, to the east. A week later, and on a test
flight by Ken the pilot, our Bell Ranger helicopter landed us far behind Mt. Cartier, to stake mineral claims. It was a two-day excursion, after which we would be picked up at a log landing. The mountains around Revelstoke not only inspire the soul, but makes one want to take in their beauty close up, which we had done for years. Now, standing on a steep ledge, we admired two blue-green lakes shimmering in the sunshine. Descending down a talus/boulder-strewn scree, we came to the edge of the first lake. It was d u b b e d Square, as it was, amazingly, that shape. The second l a k e called Dog Rock Lake, as Ivan’s son Kenny skipped small flat stones atop its surface. Walking across a large pinkish-red snowfield (made so by millions of snowfleas), we spotted a mom grizzly, and cub having fun, sliding down another snow patch. A
cold wind swept up the glade as we made camp for the night. Tired but happy, we made the landing, and Ivan’s wife Nancy picked us up at our designated spot. It was decided Square and Dog Rock Lakes needed stocking of cutthroat trout, which we would angle for from the Illecillewaet River. (Due to logging and other commitments, it never happened, although we did stock two pretty lakes atop Mt. Tilley (above 3 Valley Gap), a week later with 3000 trout taken from a secret source. Once again, our pilot Ken, on another test flight, flew us over Mt. Begbie, and onto the edge of alpine terrain to land us close to the lake. The trout were quickly released, as the pilot lifted off to the Columbia Valley far below. He would return later to pick us up, under swirling cloud cover. Again, glassing the alpine peaks to the west, with Mt. Joss, Davis peak, and Two Moon Lake shimmering in the distance far above Greenbush Lake in the subalpine. Two Moon is an hourglass-shaped lake with a tunnel outlet, blowing water out 500 feet below. (Google Earth the lake to see the tunnel.) Black bears forage for trout in its entrance.

Reminiscing back, I recall hunting late season whitetail deer at Arrowhead, with Calder, Soules, and Ivan; as well as fighting fire in huge cedar timber on Joss mountain, with 11 other men. Returning in summer of 2011, we found new logging roads winding their way to the base of the mountain, and most of the big timber is gone, as is the timber in the upper Wap leading to the horse trail we cut onto the top of Mt. Tilley to hunt mountain goats. Note: the trout introduced into the lakes there produced incredible fishing, as Ken the pilot and Ivan fished them three seasons later. Subsequently, flying over the same lakes two seasons ago with a helicopter tour company based at Three Valley, I asked the pilot to fly over Mt. Tilley. Down below sat a Robinson Raver blue chopper, and two bellyboat anglers out on the lakes.
Here and there in the outdoors
Many of the mountains around Revelstoke are named after significant figures, such as Mt. Begbie – named after Sir Matthew Baillie Begbie, Chief Justice of the colony of BC, and known as the “Hanging
Judge,” he was an impressive figure, standing at 6’4” and respected by all! He was the son of a colonel of the Royal Engineers. In September of 1858, he was appointed Chief Justice, knighted in 1875, and died in Victoria on June 11, 1894. Mt. Cartier: Named after Sir George Etienne Crutier (181473), the leading French Canadian champion of Confederation. Illecillewaet River: this is an Okanagan Indian name, meaning “Big River.” Incomapplex meaning “Head end of lake.” Arrowhead; Indians shot hundreds of arrows at three large crevasses on the face of the massive cliff there under Mt. Sprout. Their belief was that successful arrows would bring good hunting, etc. There are many more valleys and mountains to explore, and many ATV groups travel to old mine sights, like Ferguson, Copeland, Mica, and Trout Lake. So, if you haven’t ventured to the Revelstoke area for some adventure, put it on your bucket list. Tight lines and good fishin’ and hikin’!
Meditations
Reading Galatians 5: 16-26
I
Morality Discarded
t is with a sense of foreboding that one picks up the daily paper these days, because invariably they are sprinkled with acts of crime. From the pettiest of nonconformities to the horror of mass murder. Media portrays in graphic detail the acts of violence and abusive men and women. Are their guns to blame? Is their mental health to blame? I think society is to blame. A general lack of morals is to blame. Society is getting what they are asking for. How do we think we can lay aside morality in one area (abortion and free sex) and maintain it in another (murder and rape)? We murder thousands of unborn babies in this country! We watch horrific movies of violence and murder. We maintain volumes of pornographic websites. We allow ourselves the privilege of extra marital affairs and free sex. Morals? We’re cashing them in. We obviously think we can fabricate our own personal moral code. I guess it’s only fair to allow the next generation to fabricate theirs. Maybe the new generation feels its ok to murder born babies. Maybe the new generations moral code permits rape and child abuse. Maybe they even will find it accommodating within their moral code to kill their parents. We’ve set the stage! Now will we just sit back and watch the play out of a terrible drama that we have started? Notice the moral code that God has Given us. Do you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, not homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV). Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man Sows that he will also reap. Galatians 6:7 (NKJV). Jesus is the answer to a wonderful reaping! Give your life to him and watch it turn out right!

Keep cool
With exceptionally high temperatures around the province this week, BC Hydro is reminding customers how to stay cool and save power during the heat wave. • Keep cool air in, and hot air out: lock out hot air during the day and open windows to let cooler air in during the evenings. • Use a ceiling fan: ceiling fans are the most efficient option for cooling. A ceiling fan can use one-tenth the energy of an air conditioner and is a great alternative. To lower indoor temperatures by up to ten per cent, ensure the fan is rotating counter-clockwise. • Make laundry a breeze: hang dry half of your laundry to save up to $50 while keeping unnecessary heat out of your house. • Keep your cool – Take shorter, cooler showers. Reduce your shower time by one minute and save $15 per person. That’s $60 for a family of four.

ARIES

Peters takes silver in culinary challenge
NANAIMO, BC: Vancouver Island University (VIU) culinary student Kaya Peters was prepared and organized going into the Skills Canada national culinary competition, but felt she might be in the running for a medal when judges dug into her trio of chocolate desserts. Judging completed and silver medal awarded, Peters was pleased that her passion for cooking combined with months of training had paid off. “I think my desserts were it – they worked out exactly as I planned them,” said Peters, who began the Culinary program just four months before her national silver win at the Skills Canada finale in Saskatoon May 27-30. She had earned the opportunity to advance to the national level after winning the gold medal in the provincial competition at the end of April. Peters, who grew up on her family’s working farm in Grindrod, also prepared a vegetarian appetizer plate that her coach and culinary instructor Chef Joerg Gabler said really impressed the judges with its homemade soft lemon cheese and bold flavours. “She had the right touch, the right feel for it,” said Gabler. “It was a big surprise for everybody with all the flavours that were created on the plate, because she didn’t follow the traditional route in a lot of her recipes.” The appetizer featured her soft lemon cheese stuffed into fresh-made then deep-fried cannoli, finished with candied walnuts and deep fried celery leaves. Her trio of chocolate desserts would appeal to the most discerning chocophile, with its raspberry green tea semifreddo on a
white chocolate brittle; a milk chocolate ganache between almond orange Florentine cookies; and a dark chocolate orange brandy mousse with black pepper. Gabler said he worked with Peters through many 10-hour days to perfect her techniques and recipes, and observed the young woman excelling at every challenge he put before her. “She is very determined and very creative; and the more she struggles, the harder she works,” he said. “That’s been the driving force behind her success so far, and I think it will lead to a great career path down the road. We definitely expect to hear a lot about her in the future.” Peters will head to Mission Hill Estate Winery in Kelowna for a co-op work experience over the summer, then return to complete the culinary program in February 2016. While she’d like to combine a cooking career with travel upon graduation, her longrange plan could see her back home and closer to her roots. “I’m very interested in local sustainable food, so eventually I’d like to work in a place that caters to local organic, sustainable produce,” she says. Peters’ silver medal is the third Skills Canada national medal in three years, said Chef Debbie Shore, Culinary Arts program chair. “We’re very proud to have had four secondary and post-secondary students in three consecutive years win gold at provincials, followed by three podium finishes at the Skills nationals.”
