Okanagan Regional Library to offer personalized tech training

In July, a customer visited the Okanagan Regional Library’s (ORL) branch in Armstrong to use a computer terminal to conduct research on her family’s history in preparation for a reunion.

The library was very busy that day and staff weren’t able to provide the one-onone support she needed to navigate the unfamiliar terrain of Google.

“Fortunately, a preteen sitting at the adjacent computer station noticed her frustration and offered to assist. They spent twenty minutes together going over how to enter search terms, click on links, and go back to previous pages”,

shared Armstrong’s Community Librarian Julie White. “In the end, the lady found the information she was looking for and left happy.”

The incident reinforced what White had been observing at the library in recent years – how important digital literacy has become for managing our daily lives, and how learning to use technology can be intimidating for new users.

To address this, the ORL will be conducting free personalized technology training at its libraries throughout this fall. Anyone can sign up to join a

45-minute session to spend with a library staff member trained in the use of various devices and computer programs; classes are capped at three participants so each learner will have the opportunity for one-on-one assistance.

“We often get asked to help with things like uploading or downloading pictures, post a classified ad, or reserve airline tickets or hotels,” explained White. “But these kinds of tasks can be very confusing without knowledge of how to use a computer or Wifi device, or understanding the terminology.”

She adds, “Technology can definitely

Seniors in the South Shuswap area will be able to access free one-on-one computer support starting this fall. The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS), in partnership with the South Shuswap Health Services Society (SSHSS) and its affiliated committee, Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre (CISRC), will be offering free computer tutoring sessions and monthly technology workshops for seniors.

LASS is currently looking for volunteer tutors who are able to commit one hour per week to help local seniors with basic computer skills such as how to use a mouse, how to set up an email account, how to search for information on the Internet, or how to use an iPad or tablet.

Volunteer tutors are needed for the new program in Blind Bay as well as for the existing program in Salmon Arm. The computer program adds an important component to the slate of services provided by the Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre such as foot care, massage, frozen meals, seniors luncheons, hearing tests, income tax preparation, seniors shopping and transportation and support groups.

If you are interested becoming involved with the Blind Bay or Salmon Arm Cyber Seniors program as a volunteer tutor, please contact Jennifer Findlay, Literacy Outreach Coordinator, at 250-833-2095 or admin@shuswapliteracy.ca.

Poker run to help Rock Creek families

For the past eight years the Riverfront Pub & Grill have been hosting a poker run and donating the proceeds to local charities. Last year they raised $1300 for the Grindrod Elementary School. This year’s run will be held on Sunday, September 20th and the organizers would like to support the community of Rock Creek that has been devastated by wildfire.

The original Riverfront Pub suffered a total loss to fire in 2008, and the owners are familiar with the struggle of getting back on one’s feet after such a loss.

Funds will be raised through the Poker Run with the charging of an entry fee. There will also be a silent auction, and they are seeking additional items to help raise even more funds. Any funds or items from you or your company would be greatly appreciated.

If you are able to donate an item please let the folks at the pub know prior to Sept. 17th. Please contact Julie at 250 803-8851 or email streetgliden@gmail.com. The Riverfront Pub can be reached at 250 838-7261 or riverfrontpub@hotmail.com. www.riverfrontpub.ca

sciousness of what is true health and wellness and how to achieve it. Another one of my goals is to help people understand wellness is a lifelong journey and is not achieved through a single event. When one has a good understanding of the above definitions of true health and wellness, they have made the first important step towards such goals.

Chiropractic is leading the wellness revolution because we focus on maximizing the potential of the most important part of the body – the nervous system. By reducing/ removing subluxation (nerve interference caused by toxins, traumas or thoughts), our body is better equipped to properly adapt to our environment providing an ideal foundation to improve our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. Combined with an individual’s conscious practice of a healthy lifestyle, true health and wellness is attainable.

Hunting season update shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley

The hunting season was 2012.

My partners and I had waited anxiously for our moose hunting draw for weeks, and finally were successful for one animal. It was west of Nasko, Region 5-13-A. It was a non-motorized zone, meaning no ATV’s, quads etc. We had hunted there for a number of seasons with draws. We had purchased our licenses, tags, supplies, and equipment, and finally arrived at our old familiar camp.

We noticed the absence of moose that first morning out, with lots of quad tracks and wolf sign present.

It was going to be a hard hunt. The second afternoon, with rifles stored away, and a bit of refreshment in hand, we heard the sound of approaching quads. Coming into camp on new Honda 400 quads were two Native hunters. They had a large camp set up, with groups hunting the beautiful meadows and trails for moose.

On leaving empty-handed, our small group were left scratching our heads as how this could be happening, as we passed a pile of nine heads, hides, and leg bones at the edge of the main road. It’s called communal hunting, and is a political term that wildlife managers use to mean unregulated hunting.

With a growing Native population, and more hunters out there come fall, and into winter, it’s a major concern for the guy who has a growing family and wants to fill the freezer.

Under Sec. 35 of our constitution, Aboriginals were given the right to hunt, fish, and trap at any time. The Supreme Court has also ruled that Natives can also hunt at night using lights. This stems from a court case from Vancouver Island. Historically, many tribes exchanged harvested game animals for salmon and eulachon (small oily fish), oil, etc, so the tradition is ongoing, but the amount of Aboriginal harvest of deer, elk, and moose is increasing at an alarming rate; and with land claim issues forthcoming, hunters are now advised, for example, to avoid moose hunting (LEH draws) in portions of 5-3, 5-4, 5-5. for the 2015 season.

Regarding their moose population, the province of Manitoba is in crisis mode, according to a recent article in Outdoor Canada Magazine by Dr. Vince Crichton, who recently retired after 40 years with Manitoba Conservation on water stewardship. Aboriginal, Metis, and white hunters, combined with increased road access, GPS technology, ATVs, 4x4’s, and the whole gamut, have combined to reduce moose numbers. Back about 1930, the federal government transferred the Natural Resources Act to the three prairie provinces. In that act, they will

manage all natural resources, including moose. In paragraph 13, it says if moose populations decline or are mismanaged, First Nations can conceivably sue government for not living up to that agreement.

Vince’s take on the situation boils down to unregulated hunting.

Could it be part of the equation here? Methinks so, as a recent article in BC Outdoors by Jesse Zeman, Access Chair for the BCWF in 2013, (go to www. bcoutdoors.com, pre season issue).

The big picture is that, as the opportunity for BC resident hunters’ favourite species (moose) declines, we can expect decreased funding for wildlife management.

In 2012, resident moose hunter licenses and surcharges accounted for $778,480, and $194,620 to the Habitat Trust Fund. Others contributed little, yet enjoyed the spoils of the hunt and harvest. It’s time all hunters, both aboriginal and white to sit down and plan a strategy, to begin focusing on what’s best for our wildlife, mainly moose and elk, who are the main species at risk of decimation.

In the Cariboo region, 50% of all moose harvested are taken by Native hunters, as a prominent big game guide in the region explained.

Native bands in those areas, including Williams Lake, are now concerned about moose populations, and are working with government and BCWF to resolve some issues.

Meanwhile, my hunting partner and I have a draw for our old Nazko haunts come September l0.

We know the outlook doesn’t look good to bag our bull moose, but after all, it’s that incredible thrill of the hunt, scenery, and fall colours that’s calling!

Here and there in the Shuswap Hunting season is fast approaching, with the junior/deer season started. Many of us can recall as kids that loved the outdoors, going out with Dad or Gramps for the first day of deer season. The smells of fall, the changing leaves, and the chill in the air; combined with great expectations!

For members and signed-in guests, the Salmon Arm Fish and Game Club’s new rifle range, including the archery range, is available for sighting in and practice.

Salmon: It’s possible there may be a pink salmon opening next week, on the Thompson River at Spences Bridge. Will keep you posted. As well, the new proposed 3000 sqare mile Dasiqox tribal park wuest of William’s Lake, endorsed by both the Yunesit’in/ Xeni Gwet’in First Nations.

This rain will help our forests and cool our lakes down, so you anglers can once again enjoy some great fall fishin.’ Get out there and get at’er!

Funds for SPCA

SASCU Credit Union staff held their annual fundraiser in August to raise funds for the local BC SPCA Shuswap Branch. The combined efforts of all four branches raised $820.

“Our staff enjoy and have a strong commitment to supporting organizations that have a direct impact on our communities,” says Sheri Hamilton, Associate Vice President Human Resources.

“The SPCA’s work is enhancing the quality of life for animals in the Shuswap which is an important cause and SASCU is proud to be able to help them through this fundraiser.”

SASCU welcomed volunteers from the local BC SPCA Shuswap Branch who staffed tables outside

SASCU branches in July and August to raise funds and provide information on how everyone can make a difference in the lives of animals. The BC SPCA is a not-for-profit organization that provides life-saving support for domestic and farm animals in BC.

GORDON MACKIE OF SICAMOUS WAS OPPOSED IN 1988 TO CONTROLLING LEVEL OF THE LAKE The level of Shuswap Lake was so low in the latter 1980s that the Columbia Shuswap Regional District was looking into the possibility of stabilizing it. The ChaseShuswap Weekly had a report in the April 26, 1988 issue of a meeting of the Sicamous and District Chamber of Commerce to discuss it. Thirty people were present, and it seemed like Sicamous residents felt the idea bordered on the ridiculous.

Presenting several options were CSRD board chairman George Abbott and administrator Eugene Lalonde.

Houseboat operator Reg Janzen noted that presently tourists wait until July 15 when they know the waters have pretty well receded. If the waters aren’t allowed to recede, he said, visitors will wait until August to come.

Paddlewheeler Phoebe Ann operator Gordon Mackie also spoke strongly against the concept. “It seems to me it’s akin to the idea of trying to control the rain. Shuswap Lake has been going in cycles for thousands of years. It’s the jewel in the crown of lakes in British Columbia.

Tampering with nature could change that,” he said.

George Abbott also spoke against the concept.

There was insufficient support for lake stabilization so the concept died.

This photo appeared in the April 12, 1988 issue of the Salmon Arm Observer, showing Joe Pelletier standing on the mudflat at the wharf.

A GATE NEAR SQUILAX BRIDGE IS THE ANSWER TO WATER LEVEL PROBLEMS Clare Indseth wrote a very long letter to the editor in the August 26, 1987 Salmon Arm Observer. In it, he and Jack Brooke submitted an idea that will enhance Salmon Arm’s recently completed wharf facility. They would like to see a control gate at the proposed new Squilax bridge that would allow fish to travel underneath. Clare ended the letter with: “My personal experience with the Shuswap dates back to 1951, and uncontrolled and low water levels have always been a problem. We think a gate such as we propose is the answer. How about you?”

PLAN TO DIVERT SHUSWAP LAKE THROUGH OKANAGAN LAKE RATHER THAN KAMLOOPS In the 1960s, Okanagan Lake did not rise and fall like Shuswap Lake, which supposedly flushed 12 times a year from all the freshets coming from snow packs in the mountains, so a group in the Okanagan was formed to offer a solution: to drain Shuswap Lake by ditching through creeks along Enderby, Armstrong and Vernon.

Fisheries was opposed.

In the Sept. 21, 1987 Sidewalk Superintendent column, I wrote: “Tom Campbell of Celista was the president of

STRRADA, the organization which was going to fight diversion of Shuswap Lake to Okanagan Lake about 15 to 20 years ago. Tom said it would become active again to fight diversion, if necessary. The initials of the name stand for Shuswap Thompson River Research and Develop Association.

“Tom bought property in Celista in 1949 because it was isolated. He feels the lake has too many tourists and he does not like the idea of raising the lake to the high-water level. I agreed with him, that raising the level of Shuswap Lake to high-water level would cover many of the sandy beaches which attract our tourists.”

WHO WANTS MY LARGE ENVELOPE OF CLIPPINGS? In my constant downsizing and going through cardboard boxes, I am either recycling or giving away clippings and hand-written notes. Who would like the large envelope about the proposal to raise the level of Shuswap Lake? It has clippings, pictures and Eugene Lalonde’s study titled “Shuswap Lake, lake level stabilization concept,” plus plans of gates from Yukon and Alberta. Write me at sallys1@telus.net.

MEL ARNOLD IS BEING TARGETTED BY MEDIA Before I left for Alberta I heard a CBC Radio broadcaster talking about arranging interviews with the four Federal Election candidates. He had interviewed three candidates and wanted the fourth. Mel Arnold was not available for the interview.

The other three candidates are not working, whereas Mel Arnold has a business, Complete Marine Detailing, with employees. He plans his time very carefully.

Mel Arnold is a lifetime resident of the Shuswap area, and a 1976 graduate from Salmon Arm Senior Secondary.

For 25 years he has operated a business in the industrial park. He is a past-president of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, and was a Director of the Canadian Wildlife Federation. He belongs to the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce and Salmon Arm Rotary Club. I know him from the Shuswap Pro-Development Association where he has been a very capable president. He’s a great leader!

I VOTE ON PAST PERFORMANCE When I was a report/publisher for this newspaper for 31 years, I never interviewed a candidate for public office. I preferred to judge a person on past performance, and that’s where I cast my vote. I do not attend all-candidate forums.

Even now, when I manage rental apartments for absentee owners, I want to know how potential tenants treated past rentals. I do not ask how they plan to treat a lovely apartment they want to rent.

VERNON REPORTER DID NOT HAVE THE FACTS When I returned from Alberta, the headline “Time to get off the sidelines” was in another local paper. Before writing the lengthy article, the reporter should have checked for facts.

His information was old. I checked with Linda Hawes, Mel Arnold’s campaign manager, and she sent me the all-candidate forums where he will participate: Sept. 14, Vernon Performing Arts Centre; Sept. 16, Lumby Chamber of Commerce; Sept. 17, Salmon Arm Ch of C.; Sept. 22, Enderby Ch. of C.; Sept. 23, Armstrong Ch.of C.; Sept. 25: Vernon JCI; Sept. 30, Vernon Ch. of C.; Oct. 7, Sorrento Memorial Hall; Oct. 8, 5th Ave. Activity Centre, Salmon Arm.

Linda said Mel has already taken several interviews, from print and radio, and is scheduled for more. He welcomes the opportunity to discuss those topics that are of interest to the wonderful people in this riding.

FREE ADMISSION TO IPE FOR OLD FOGEYS Armstrong’s Interior Provincial Exhibition is being held Sept. 2 to 6 this year, and seniors over 85 get in free! It is the 116th annual IPE and this year it salutes the dairy division with the theme “Udderly Awesome – Party til the Cows Come Home.” Get details at www.armstrongipe.com My favourites at the Armstrong fair are D Dutchmen ice cream cone, deep-fried bread called ‘horse blankets,’ the petting zoo from Alberta that was at the Ukrainian Festival in Andrew recently, and the mooternity ward. Local beef and dairy farmers must decide whose cow is due to give birth during the fair, and bring several cows to the fenced mooternity ward. I’m a former maternity nurse and it amazes me how quietly a cow delivers, and that there is no coaching or emotion by the farmer. No “Push! Push! Now take a rest between contractions.” “It’s a boy!” or “It’s a girl!”

GEOGRAPHY LESSON ABOUT ROCK CREEK Last week I wrote about the wild fire near Rock Creek that burned 30 houses and said it was located at the south end of the Okanagan Valley, not far from the U.S. border.

Alfred Schalm said he is keeping me on the straight and narrow, this time about Rock Creek.

He wrote: “You can drive south in the Okanagan Valley all the way to the USA and never catch sight of Rock Creek. Rock Creek is in the same valley, or whatever that is, as is Midway but certainly NOT in the OK valley! You have to cross Anarchist Pass out of Osoyoos, pass Bridesville, then drop down into Rock Creek.” Thanks, Al. RAY BRAY WILL PRESIDE AT SEPT. 13 LITURGY St. John’s Anglican Church in Salmon Arm lost a beloved minister when Rev. Canon Ray Bray retired after serving from 1983 to 1995. He and wife Daphne moved to Enderby and have been attending the church there. On Sunday, Sept. 13, Ray will be the presider at the 10 a.m.

Holy Eucharist service at St. John’s, and the Rt. Rev. James Cowan will be the preacher. Visit with Ray over refreshments in the hall downstairs following the service.

AH! JR A HOCKEY IS BACK AT SHAW CENTRE I watched the second exhibition game and it was great to see my friends. Some exchanged handshakes, others offered hugs. We watched the Silverbacks play and score and fight.

We’ll watch them tonight, Friday Sept. 4 at 7 p.m. against West Kelowna. If you bought season tickets, you can use one of the exhibition tickets. If you didn’t, you can get in for $5.

Our guys played very well against Vernon on Aug. 29 and won 6-1. The next evening they went to Vernon and won 4-3 in OT. The aim of the exhibition games is to give the coaches time to reduce the number of players from 30+ to 22 by the first regular season game. I wouldn’t have sent any of the players home from the game I watched. All were excellent!

Silverbacks 2015/16 regular season starts on Fri., Sept 11 at home vs Penticton. Both Askew stores sell tickets for $8, and are released 72 hours before game time. They go quickly! 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.

The challenge of raising pets

“Dad! Come here quick!” my youngest Nate yelled.

The frantic sound in his voice made me jump up and run to his room. Was his arm stuck in a vent? Was there a mouse in his room?

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“It’s Duma! Look! She’s outside my window!” he exclaimed.

Being outside his window is only an issue because Nate’s room is upstairs; meaning Duma had once again climbed up on the roof and couldn’t get down.

So I opened his window, pulled out the screen and attempted to get her off the roof.

As usual, she walked away from the window just beyond my reach. It took a while, but eventually I coaxed her close enough to grab her.

I put her in the garage, but later that night she went back outside when I left to pick up my oldest from work. At the time I didn’t think anything of it.

The night continued without

incident until the Junior Bean Counter came into our room at 2 a.m.

“Dad! Dad! It’s Duma!” he whispered into my ear.

Roused out of a deep sleep, I jumped out of bed. “What’s wrong?” I gasped, my heart racing.

“She’s meowing right by my window!” he replied.

Sure enough, she was again on top of the roof outside, but looking in the Junior Bean Counter’s window this time.

“Duma! What’s wrong with you?” I exclaimed. “Don’t you ever learn?”

She just looked at me and meowed some more as if to say, “I’m a cat, I like to climb and you are paying way too much attention to that puppy!”

So now I have a puppy in the midst of potty training and a cat with an inferiority complex.

Here I thought raising kids was a challenge!

Salmon Arm, BC — A new provincial grant helps families save for children’s post-secondary education—if parents apply for it.

The British Columbia Training and Education Savings Grant (BCTESG) is a $1,200 one-time grant that needs to be applied for after the child’s sixth birthday and before their ninth. The first day to apply for the new grant was August 15, 2015. Candy St. Pierre, Member Service Representative of SASCU Credit Union, advises parents to apply soon so it does not get missed.

“The BCTESG is a great add-on to an existing Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP),” says Candy. “A new RESP can be opened and the one-time grant can be applied for at that time for eligible children.”

The BCTESG is just one of the government grants available to boost RESP contributions.

The Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) adds up to $500 per year, with additional funds provided for low income households.

“Too many parents and their children are missing out on these grants just because they don’t apply,” says Candy. “RESPs are not just for university-bound youth. Most colleges and trade programs qualify. If the child does not pursue post-secondary education, the funds contributed by the family are returned.”

Learn more at sascu.com/RESP, visit any SASCU branch and ask for the “Your Guide to Understanding RESP” brochure, or go to www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/resp-reee/.

A European flair At Pure Flowers, Monique van Lindert says people can expect “fresh, unique flowers with a European flair.”

Many people know Monique from Uptown Askews where she was working for the past three years. Now she has opened her own shop at #102 - 40 Lakeshore Drive, in the former Telus location. Her husband, Jan, (who works at Omega Engineering) made all the store’s shelving and counters from birch from their own property.

Monique can create flower bouquets or arrangements for every occasion and budget.

“We do fresh flower arrangements for weddings, funerals, celebrations of life, birthdays, anniversaries, events and celebrating newborns. I have bouquets for a small budget if you would like something fancy – for a special dinner or corporate event, I can do that too.”

Monique buys as much as she can from local growers and also buys fresh flowers from the flower auction in Burnaby two to three times a week. There are also home decor items, primarily related to flowers. Vases, candle holders and candles made in Europe; unique pieces from the DutZ Collection.

Before Monique worked at Uptown Askews, she worked in Whistler, arranging flowers for the lobbies and restaurants for many hotels like the Four Seasons and Fairmont hotel. She also did flowers for photo shoots, weddings, events and for special guests: Monique made a flower arrangement for Michael Buble and decorated the suite for Kevin Bieksa (Canuck player) with fresh flower Christmas arrangements.

Pure Flowers is open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday, and from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. They deliver in Salmon Arm. To contact Monique @ Pure Flowers phone 778-4895110 or emailmonique@pureflowers.ca

Ready for hockey season Big Al’s House of Hockey is open in the retail location at the Shaw Centre (formally Chevy’s).

Al Novakowski (left) and Jim Neustaeter opened the Pro Shop on August 4.

“Our emphasis is skate sharpening,” says Jim, “and we have sticks, tape and equipment related to hockey. We also have some ringette supplies and will be talking with other minor sport leagues to see how we can service their

needs. We’re looking to serve all the users of the Shaw Centre.”

Jim ran the Sunnybrae Bible Camp for 15 years but he isn’t a stranger to working with sports equipment.

“My first job out of high school was in the Cedarvale Centre (now the Mall at Piccadilly) in the sporting goods department at Mainline Co-op.”

Al also runs Abundant Specialty Advertising, the Promotional Products Business, out of this location.

“We ran Abundant Specialty Advertising out of our house for the past 20 years. We are excited to now have a store front where clients can come and look at product samples and talk with us about their company’s corporate needs. We do logo products for sport teams, schools and local businesses. We are very fortunate to work with some great clients like the City of Salmon Arm, Salmon Arm Minor Hockey, Dallas Stars, Western Hockey League, Sun Peaks, Jackson Hole Ski Resort and grad stuff for SASS. We put logos on coffee mugs, bags, pens and tons of other promotional giveaway products.”

Both Jim and Al have a love of hockey and have played for years. Jim played minor hockey in Salmon Arm, and Al played in the BCHL, the NCAA, and the ECHL. They say the one thing everyone will appreciate about coming into their shop is that they can expect great customer service.

“We want to be known as the best skate sharpening in the Salmon Arm area,” says Al. “Whether you come in to get your skates sharpened, purchase a new set of shoulder pads, or just pop in to say ‘hi,’ we want to have a fun place where everyone feels invited.”

To contact them call 778 489 5302

Innovation catalyst In 2013, Warren Welter (above) attempted to relocate back to California after being a big part of Salmon Arm for 13 years.

“Realizing that I missed the four seasons and the country life, I returned in January and would like to be fully engaged in the commercial design sector again,” says Warren.

Warren has his own business, Creatibility, where he defines himself as an ‘innovation catalyst.’

“As an innovation catalyst I refer to what I do as messaging and collaborate with my clients to develop a visual voice that initiates an emotional engagement.”

A few of his well-known works around town include the film reel graphic on the Salmar Classic Theatre, the apple sculptures outside SASCU downtown, the “Turn of the Century” highway sign at R. J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum, the pre-opening/ site development signs at Askew’s Uptown, the Salmon Arm Recreation logo, and the re-branding of The Mall at Piccadilly.

Warren also volunteers for Voice of

the Shuswap Community Radio Station helping with marketing, promotions, and communication.

Warren’s office is above the Salmar Classic Theatre, which he shares with Louise Wallace Richmond who owns Mediability Corporate Communications.

To contact Warren phone 250-803-1249 or visit his website at www.warrenwelter.com Exhibit held over Salmon Arm Art Gallery Director/Curator Tracey Kutschker says she is very pleased the exhibit, Experiment in F# Minor, is being held over.

“The artists, Janet Cardiff and George Bures-Miller, offered the extension because the next gallery to receive Experiment in F# Minor doesn’t have its ship-out until the end of September. They saw what an amazing project we created with their work and they’re happy to see it here for another three weeks. The biggest benefit to us is that we can offer it as school tours to the teachers in the district. It’s an incredible opportunity for large groups of kids to experience this.”

Tracey says it is very exciting to have such contemporary internationally renowned artists in the gallery and it has also boosted tourism.

“People came here from other cities for this exhibit,” says Tracey. “For downtown businesses, it was a bonus, because we got them into town, having lunch or coffee or even staying overnight.”

Their exhibits, Experiment in F# Minor and the Muriel Lake Incident, will be at the gallery until September 19.

The gallery is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday. Admission is by donation.

New play structure at KCS Joshua Greencorn, 12, (left) and Garett Blumenthal, 12, were among the many volunteers of all ages who helped put in a new play structure at Kings Christian School last weekend. Along with the generous volunteer work, donations from local businesses (Save On Foods, Warner Rentals, and Salmon Arm Ready Mix) helped make it all possible.

Letters to the Editor

Column title reflects long-established beliefs

Ever wonder about our culture’s headlong rush to burn up and exhaust (literally!) fossil fuels; heat up the climate; pre-empt and degrade natural habitats, wiping out biodiversity; and generally, (for us) to thrash about in the Earth’s precious ecosystems like proverbial “bulls in the china shop”?

Well, if a prevailing culture’s long-established assumptions and beliefs inform and drive that culture’s actions – and who could imagine that they do not? – then the title of Hank Shelley’s August 28th Lakeshore News column: “OUR Forests”, OUR Game Animals,” unwittingly reveals the fundamental fallacy in our dysfunctional relationship with the natural world: namely, claiming that the Earth and all its wonders is exclusively “ours,” with all the entitlement, power, and ownership that “ours” implies. (The true meaning of ‘our game animals’ is another, related matter!)

Even the Pope, in an amazing departure from his Church’s historically destructive adherence

to “dominion” over Nature, recently got it right!

In his most recent Papal Encyclical (Laudato Si’), he states, “We have (incorrectly) grown up thinking that we were owners and dominators of the Earth, authorized to loot her.”

I wonder how many citizens, political parties, fish and game clubs, and even environmental groups subscribe to this progressive, explicit challenge to the “ownership” business-as-usual ethic?

Clearly, the sooner we understand, respect – and live – within the realities of natural systems and their ecologies, and not just selfishly exploit them as “owners,” the better off we’ll be for the future.

(I enjoy many of Hank’s columns, by the way, particularly those describing, often humorously, the pioneer days of the Shuswap; and I enjoyed his critique of wasteful forest practices that he details in the recent News column.)

THANK YOU

THANK YOU

THANK YOU

On Saturday August 29th the Sorrento Village Farmers’ Market experienced the wrath of Mother Nature. For 23 chaotic minutes the Vendors and Shoppers were subjected to gusting winds that wreaked havoc through-out the Market, lifting tents off the ground and sending Vendor goods cartwheeling down the market corridor and parking lot. Thankfully no one was hurt but many Vendors suffered losses to goods and their tents.

The Vendors of the Sorrento Village Farmers Market would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to all the shoppers, passers-by, employees and owners of the businesses in the Shoppers Plaza who jumped into action to offer help and support in our urgent time of need. We truly appreciated your efforts. A special thank you goes out to the Gal who took tents home for Sue from Notch Hill Organics so she could assist other Vendors, and the lovely couple who pulled off the highway when they saw tent legs flying in the air and jumped in to offer help.

We didn’t get your names but Thank you so much.

We live in a wonderful community and it was clearly evident in the actions displayed.

Volunteering is a great way for people to give back to their communities. It’s also a great way for parents to instill character in their children.

When kids volunteer, they learn lessons about responsibility while also learning how enjoyable it can be to help the less fortunate. Kids who volunteer early in life are more likely to do so throughout their lives, and that lifetime of service can be invaluable. The right volunteering opportunity for a child often depends on the child’s age, as some opportunities are better suited to younger children while others are tailor-made for teenagers. The following are a few age-appropriate ideas that can help get kids excited about volunteering and giving back to their neighborhoods.

Elementary school children: When kids reach elementary school, parents should introduce them to volunteering. Volunteering activities for schoolaged kids should be simple, such as accompanying their parents to food banks where kids can help feed the homeless and less fortunate. Kids with grandparents living in assisted living facilities can read to residents at the facility or bring them homemade arts and crafts or even foods they helped prepare (just be sure to clear any items with the facility’s medical staff before distributing). These tasks are simple, and kids won’t feel nervous when accompanied by Mom and Dad. Middle school children: When kids reach middle school, they might not feel it’s necessary for Mom and Dad to tag along as much. This is perfectly alright, and it’s a great time for kids to branch out and choose some volunteer activities

of their own. Instead of accompanying kids to the food bank, let them work a shift on their own.

Kids who have been volunteering since early childhood might have some volunteering goals of their own by the time they reach middle school, so don’t insist they continue with current activities if there’s something else sparking their interest.

Kids might want to help an elderly neighbour around the house, such as shopping for groceries or taking care of their property. Encourage such ideas, and expect kids to want to exercise some independence when they reach middle school.

High school students: High school students tend to have busy schedules, but those who have been volunteering since childhood will likely find a way to continue doing so. Teenagers tend to have more specific interests than younger children, and parents can encourage teens to incorporate those interests into their volunteering. For example, kids who love sports might be able to work with the local sports and recreation centre to coach younger athletes. Or kids who excel in the classroom can tutor younger students. Volunteering can look good on a high school student’s resume when the time comes to apply for college, but parents should be careful that their high schoolaged children don’t stretch themselves too thin with extracurricular activities. Encourage volunteering but not at the expense of schoolwork.

Many children embrace volunteering, especially when given the chance to choose how they want to give back to their communities and the less fortunate.

Local branch of Schlaraffia International meets weekly in Kamloops.

Barbershop group seeks new voices

Just over 75 years ago, about 20 men got together in the rooftop gardens of a hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to “just sing for fun.” They enjoyed the experience so much that the Barbershop Harmony Society was formed, and it has now become the world’s greatest hobby, as well as the world’s largest all-male singing association, with members participating in Barbershop Harmony on every continent the world over.

For over 75 years now, the Barbershop Harmony Society has made tremendous strides in their music learning techniques, so the ability to readily read music is not really necessary. All that is needed is the desire to sing together with a fun bunch of guys!

Mount Ida Harmony is hoping to increase their numbers by holding auditions for admission.

So men, if you are over 14 years old, and if you like to sing in the shower, you’ll love singing together with Mount Ida Harmony. Come by on Thursday, September 17th, 7:00 p.m. at the Community Room at Askew’s Uptown Store. No obligations, no commitments, and no strings attached.

If you have any questions, please contact Ron Long at 250-822-1972.

SPORTS & LEISURE Youth and masters swim clubs welcome new coach Last spring, the Columbia-Shuswap Selkirks and Salmon Arm Waves Masters Swimming Clubs joined together to seek a new coach. Up until then, both teams had had capable coaches; Dr. John Hogg for the Masters and Carl Cooper for the Youth.

However, at the end of last season, Dr. Hogg retired and Carl Cooper was hired as the District Superintendent of Innovation and Instruction. As a result of their search, Mr. Barry Healey was hired to take on the job of coaching both teams.

Barry started out swimming at a young age, swimming for his school and at a county level. He started coaching in the UK and had swimmers swim for England in his first year. In 1975 he moved to Canada, where coaches were being sought from all over the world. In Canada, he holds NCCP Level 3, and has coached in five provinces. He’s coached swimmers on national tour teams, and some of his ath-

Barry Healey

letes have gone on to the Commonwealth Games, World Champs and the Olympics.

In 2004, he won the contract to provide all the services for the Canadian Olympic and ParaOlympic Teams in Kos, Greece.

“Swimming is one of the few sports you can do all your life,” says Healey. “If you want just to get fit, I feel it’s one of the best sports there is. If you are a parent with young children, swimming is a sport to consider. Taking part improves health, time management skills, understanding how to work hard to get results, how to be part of a team.” He says that most swimmers do very well at school because they can stay focused, and they also develop great communication skills.

“I love developing athletes, not only to become good at sport, but to take the skills into school, college and later, university and the work place,” says Healey. “I enjoy working as a team to try and get athletes to

become the very best they can be. I like to empower athletes to make choices and set goals that will challenge themselves.”

Barry would like to bring in more swimming competitions at the pool, and he would also like to start an I Can Swim program, the National Swimming Skills program for Swim Canada. He has coached open water swimmers and triathletes, and would like to expand training in this area; he feels that the lake here would be an ideal place to train, and would promote this region.

The swimmers in both clubs are thrilled to have Barry Healey join them. “I have been coaching for a long time now,” he says, “and still learn new things every day.”

Forest fire season winding down

the Stickpin fire burning near the border in Washington.

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary lifted evacuation alerts Monday for the Rock Creek fire, which previously damaged or destroyed 30 homes.

The B.C. Wildfire Service responded to seven new fires over the weekend, some suspected to be human caused.

Total cost and damage for the 2015 forest fire season continues to track at a similar pace as last year, with 296,000 hectares burned and $255 million spent as of Monday.

That’s above the 10-year average for B.C. fires, but lower than the worst seasons in recent years, in 2003 and 2009.

As children aged five and up prepare to head back to school, libraries throughout the Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) system are gearing up to begin fall storytimes for the under-five set. And having served as a children’s librarian for almost three decades, the ORL’s Linda Youmans wants parents to understand the many benefits of storytime at the library.

“The live interaction of storytime, where we use songs and puppets and books, is still valid and perhaps even more important in this age of technology. It offers an opportunity to socialize for both children and adults,” Youmans explains.

“For many babies it is their first chance to be in a group and they learn to share, have fun and make friends.”

All 29 libraries that comprise the ORL system host storytimes through the school year for children aged five-years and younger. Some larger branches such as Vernon, Kelowna, and Salmon Arm have programs specifically geared for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, and many libraries also host special programs for pyjama storytimes

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press Campfire bans have been lifted for most of B.C. heading into the Labour Day weekend, and rain in most areas of the province has helped crews make progress on most of the 176 fires burning in B.C. as of Monday.

Campfire bans are lifted in the Kamloops and Southeast fire centres, although restrictions continue on use of burn barrels and fireworks. No fire bans remain across northern B.C., and the only remaining campfire ban is in the Cariboo fire centre for areas west of the Fraser River.

Dishes, shipping, oak stains, and bread

Dear Reena, I purchased a new set of dishes, only to find there are scratches left from the cutlery after use. This is the second dinnerware set I have had difficulty with, the dishes have both been ivory in colour and a matte finish. Is there some kind of glaze that hardens the finish, thereby preventing scratches? I have been told there is a cleaner on the market which will remove the scratches each time the dishes are used and that the problem could be the cutlery. My set is stainless steel and several years old but in excellent shape. Any suggestions? Cathy Dear Cathy, Patina develops when the coating on glass is damaged. I am not aware of a food safe glaze that will properly adhere to dishes. The top picks to fix this challenge are to scrub the plates with one of the following: Zud or Barkeepers Friend. Or rub the plates with extra fine 0000 steel wool and ceramic glass top stove cleaner. Extra fine steel wool is available at hardware and paint stores.

Dear Reena, I have a business from my home and I ship fragile items to customers across Canada. More than once, the items have broken in transit. How can I package the merchandise so that they stay intact? Louise

Dear Louise, Begin by wrapping the contents with white tissue paper. This will protect the items and avoid discoloration. Next wrap the items with small bubble wrap and secure the bubble wrap with packing tape followed by large bubble wrap and packing tape. Fill the box with Styrofoam peanuts. Check the box to make sure that it is sturdy and has no weak seams. Pack the box to the top, because a full box reduces the chance of items moving around inside. Lastly, using a thick permanent marker, write FRAGILE on the outside of the box.

Alternatively you may want to consider using ‘green’ items to ship products, while still presenting a professional image to recipients. Such items include: recycling newspaper, biodegradable packing peanuts (dissolve when exposed to water) and plain popcorn.

Dear Reena, I have an oak night stand on which a small lamp sits that has a black velvet type bottom underneath its stand. I have noticed that the black velvet has actually stained the oak a black colour.

I guess when the lamp is standing maybe the heat from it allows the black to transfer onto the wood? Not sure how or why this is has happened but would like to know if you can advise me on how to remove the stain from the wood. Sonja

Jack Davies With much sadness and immense gratitude for a long life well lived, we announce that Jack/Dad/Grandpa/ Great Grandpa Davies passed away peacefully with his wife Stella by his side on August 29, 2015 in his 90th year. Jack was born April 25, 1925, immediately following his twin sister Nancy, who he always claimed he had kicked out of the womb first. He was the youngest of seven children to parents Lewis and Mary Davies of Port Alberni, BC. Following a very happy childhood, Jack left high school at the age of 17½ to join the Navy with his mother’s permission. He proceeded to go to university for fourteen months and became an electrical artificer. He toured the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans during WWII. When the war ended he returned home to Port Alberni where he put his electrical skills to use to help build houses. When the Government postal service came to Port Alberni, Jack jumped on board to become a mail carrier and had the honour of delivering the first letter to the mayor. After a short time Jack returned to electrical work with the BC Power Commission and eventually BC Hydro for the remainder of his career. Jack met his wife Stella at the age of 21 After a two-year courtship they were married May 15th, 1948 in Port Alberni. They moved into their first home together in Sproat Lake and began building their family. First came daughter Diane, then son Keith. After seven years in Sproat Lake, they made their first move of many to Vernon BC, followed by Prince George, then Alert Bay where Jack was promoted to district manager, then on to Nakusp, Invermere, and Courtenay, until finally putting down permanent roots in Salmon Arm in 1974. Jack retired from the Hydro business in 1985 and began to focus on his other interests and hobbies.

Throughout his adult life, Jack was involved in the Kinsmen and Rotary clubs, where he participated in community projects, and was also involved with the Cancer Society as a volunteer. He was very active with the BC Power Pioneers. In addition to his humanitarian work, Jack also loved to work with his hands. He loved woodworking best and built homes, toys, and furniture, among other projects, and had a tool collection that would put your local Home Hardware to shame. Jack was generous with his talents and time and was quick to help his family, friends, and neighbours with their own projects.

Above all else, Jack was a family man. He was a devoted and loving husband, a wonderful father to his two children, and an adoring, proud grandfather and great grandfather. Family always came first for Jack, and he welcomed every opportunity to gather them together, whether for holidays, summer vacations at the lake, or just a simple family dinner. His wife, Stella, was the apple of his eye for 69 years and the greatest love of his life.

Jack was a quiet, private person with a quick wit that bordered on mischievous and a heart of gold. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by wife Stella, daughter Diane (Brian), son Keith (Leslie), grandchildren, Melanie, Erik, Angela, Roslyn, and Ashley, and all 8.5 great grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be held at the United Church, 450 Okanagan Ave SE, Salmon Arm, BC, on Friday, September 4th at 11:00am. Reception to follow in the church hall.

In lieu of flowers, please give a donation to the charity of your choosing.

On line condolences may be sent to Jack’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm.

Wendy Jane (Salter) Pottie God called the other night. He was looking for a registrar for his Minor Hockey League in Heaven, so he took the best!

On Saturday, August 22, Wendy Jane (Salter) Pottie volunteered to go to the big arena in the sky.

Wendy was born January 8, 1935 in Salmon Arm, BC. She grew up in Blind Bay, BC on the family homestead (Notch Hill).

She lived there with her parents Alfred and Edith Salter and her only sister Elizabeth Anne (Salter) Code, (all of whom predeceased her). These were the days when she rode her horse down the hill to Blind Bay School.

After completing high school and Sr. Matric (grade 13) in Salmon Arm, she attended business school in Vernon. Wendy then returned to Salmon Arm and worked at the Bank of Commerce, and later at Federated Co-op.

Wendy loved her family. She also loved hockey. She was a proud Canadian who also enjoyed sewing, reading, gardening, hockey, pottery, tea, hockey, Chinese food, hummingbirds, hockey, CBC radio and hockey. Wendy was never without a family dog.

Wendy enjoyed many hours of watching children of all ages play minor hockey in any, and many arenas. She watched Hockey Night in Canada on television… unless there was a Silverbacks game in town.

Wendy and John enjoyed many trips to mountain meadows in the spring, to see the wild flowers in bloom. Wendy also enjoyed… play-off hockey!

Many might remember Wendy as the registrar of Salmon Arm Minor Hockey a volunteer for some 35 tireless years.

Wendy is survived by her husband, John, of 59 years, their children Marie (Valley) Bebee of Enderby; Michael of Castlegar, BC; Pamela (Matt) Dickey of Costa Mesa, California; and Chris of Vernon. Grandchildren: Nevan Bebee, and Sarah (Brandon) Estabrooks of Enderby, Danielle Dickey of Costa Mesa, and Riley Pottie of Red Deer, Alberta.

In her last few years, she found her greatest joy in her great granddaughter, Emrie Belle Estabrooks of Enderby.

Fondly remembered by her nieces and nephews, Jerry (Linda), Debbie (Chris), Shelley (Jeff), Jay (Natalie), their children and grandchildren, Melissa, Spencer (Ainslie), Cody, Seamus, Alexander, Shannon, Gweneth, and Piper. Wendy was predeceased by her niece Linnie Code.

The family would sincerely like to thank Dr. Plessis and the Community Care aides who came to their home during the past ten years. Thank you also to the kind staff in Dogwood neighbourhood, at Park Place, Piccadilly for their excellent comfort and care of Wendy in her last few days.

Wendy always enjoyed flowers, but would have been most appreciative for a donation to Salmon Arm Minor Hockey, PO Box 2323, Salmon Arm, BC V1E 4R3 so that a child, less fortunate, could play the game; or to the Stroke Recovery Association of BC, 301 -1212 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V6H 3V1.

The family would like to enjoy a private family gathering for now, but plan a celebration of Life in the summer of 2016. (When the hockey season is over.)

Thank you to Dave Wallensteen of Bowers Funeral Home for taking care of the arrangements.

Condolences may be sent to the family through Wendy’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Pauline Margaret

“Peggy” Clarke

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Pauline Margaret “Peggy” Clarke, who died on Saturday, August 8, 2015, at the age of 94½. Peggy was born in Bombay, India in 1921 and raised in Leeds, England where she completed her education. After a tour of active duty as a WAAF in the RAF during World War II, she came to Canada in the early 1950s with her husband, Charles “Chaz” Clarke. They settled first in Driftwood Creek, near Smithers, BC, relocating several years later to Salmon Arm, which became Peggy’s home for the remainder of her life.

Peggy loved to travel and was an avid skier, celebrating her 80th birthday on the slopes of Silver Star. She was a counsellor for the Canadian Cancer Society and an energetic member of the Salmon Arm community, contributing in many different ways during her long and active life.

A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, September 18th at 2:00 pm at Bowers Funeral Home.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Condolences may be left in memory of Peggy at www.bowersfuneralservice.com.

Herbert Gordon Knull Herb Knull passed away peacefully in Shuswap Lake General Hospital on September 1, 2015 at the age of 85.

Herb will be remembered by his loving wife of 65 years, Violet, and their son Terry and his wife Esther.

Herb will always be remembered by family and friends for his outgoing personality, his interest in people and his sense of humour.

He was born in Leduc, Alberta on September 15, 1929.

He was the youngest of 7 children. Over the years he had a few occupations including driving gravel truck from an early age to driving a school bus for 26 years.

He and Violet moved to Salmon Arm in 1983. Thereafter he drove the “BookMobile” for 10 years.

His greatest treasure in life was his relationship with his Creator, Jehovah God. He was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on June 25, 1953.

He always enjoyed talking to others about God’s purpose for the earth and he looked forward to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy such as Rev. 21:3,4.

He rests now in God’s memory until he is resurrected to enjoy foretold blessings on a beautiful, paradise earth.

The family would like to thank the staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital and Dr. Bonthuys for their care of Herb during his many bouts of illness in recent years.

A memorial service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 721 - 2nd Street S.E., Salmon Arm, Saturday, September 5, 2015 at 2 p.m.

Arrangements entrusted to Fishers Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd. (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories of Herb through his obituary at www.fischersfuneralservice.com

PHASE 4

NOW SELLING

Camping at the beautiful Mabel Lake Provincial Park came at a price last week: I had to function without the internet for the first time in several years.

I tried to resist this from happening. I went to Telus Mobility a couple days prior to leaving for my trip to buy more data with a plan to hotspot from my phone to my laptop once there.

Unfortunately since the campground was located so far off the grid and had no cellular service, there would be no way of getting a Wi-Fi connection.

A week without it might not have bothered me if I didn’t have my “Stolen and Missing Dogs of the Okanagan” Facebook page that I update throughout each day. Luckily my friend Gina, who manages the “Okanagan Lost and Found Pets” on Facebook said she’d take care of my page while I was gone, which solved my problem.

As I drove the two and a half hours to Mabel Lake I surprisingly started looking forward to the forced disconnect. No emails to check, Facebook updates to review, or messages to respond to – it would be my life as I used to know it.

But even en route, as I began to relish this reprieve, I found myself pulling over a few times to see what I was missing online. This confirmed to me that the constant cyber connection I’ve grown accustomed to over the years is probably more of an addiction than I realized.

About half an hour away from the campground I noticed the cellular service was severed, and for the rest of the drive I felt like I was entering into another universe. When I arrived at my destination it appeared that way as well.

My husband and friends had come up a couple days earlier and none of them were on their phones unless they were choosing a song to broadcast for everyone’s listening pleasure.

Instead they were playing games, riding bikes, participating in water sports, painting rocks, relaxing on the beach or sitting around a campfire.

I’m not a big fan of camping, but I can’t deny that I liked what I observed. What parent doesn’t appreciate seeing their kids laughing, playing and communicating with those around them rather than focused on their electronics? And what child doesn’t enjoy seeing their parents involved in such healthy interactions as well?

By the end of the week I felt more connected to my family and friends as well as with myself.

Without the constant distractions of the internet I felt de-stressed, slowed down and suddenly

OnaBrighterNote

by Lori Welbourne with ample time to read, write and do nothing. I also caught up on some much needed rest, and didn’t miss falling asleep or waking up to the newsfeed from my phone.

I easily survived a week without the outside world and it easily survived without me.

My family and friends have another camping trip planned before school starts, but this time there will be internet and cellular service where we’re going. Will we be sitting around the campfire and on the beach reading our phones instead of talking to each other? Unless we agree to keep them turned off and only connect for designated time periods each day, I imagine we’ll revert to old habits.

Some of us might find a voluntary disconnect more challenging than others. People with a large social circle and a strong interest in news, pop culture, sports or work can sometimes feel more addicted to their phones. From my own recent experience I found it liberating to turn the outside world off temporarily, and I plan to incorporate more of that into my daily routine.

Before the Mabel Lake camping trip I can’t remember the last time I was without the internet for more than a few waking hours. As someone who’s easily distracted, I’m now looking forward to seeing how much more I can accomplish by only allowing myself to access it at certain times during the day. I’m also expecting to reap some of the other benefits I enjoyed during my week in the boonies.

I wouldn’t want to give up cyberspace completely though. For all it’s negatives it’s outweighed by its positives and I feel fortunate to live in a time when I can communicate with people from all over the world, have information readily available at my fingertips and possess the ability to express myself publicly whenever I wish.

Like most things, the internet has its pros and cons and using it with moderation and discretion can curb its harmful effects. It’s up to us to monitor our usage and put ourselves on a digital diet when needed.
