Significant spheres There were two significant events this past weekend that involved spheres - one, the first ever AppleFest, and a total lunar eclipse coupled with a supermoon. Left: Violet Biggs tries her hand at apple peeling during the inaugural AppleFest held last Saturday at the Ross Street Plaza, celebrating apples in the Shuswap. Above: The moon had an amber hue on Sunday evening during the total lunar eclipse and supermoon, making the ‘blood moon’ appear 7-8% bigger in the sky. - JOANNA BOOM PHOTOS

LASS welcomes a new face
The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) is pleased to welcome Darcy Calkins (centre, above) as the new Literacy Outreach Coordinator for the North Okanagan-Shuswap area. Darcy is a busy, active mum of four who loves to cook yet still finds time to curl up with a good book. Originally from Salmon Arm, Darcy went farther afield to the University of Victoria where she earned a B.Eng before heading to the University of Calgary to earn her B.Ed. She travelled farther still to Bangladesh to teach for a year before landing in the Sooke School District where she taught high school mathematics. In 2012 (20 years after she graduated from high school in Salmon Arm) Darcy returned to her hometown with her young family and will now oversee all of the LASS litera-
cy programs and initiatives as the new Literacy Outreach Coordinator (LOC.) Darcy will be taking over the position from Jennifer Findlay (right, below) who has
been with LASS for the past five and a half years. It is with mixed feelings that Jen leaves the organization to continue her work with School District #83. “It
has been so amazing to watch this community literacy organization grow over the years. Back in 2010, I was the sole employee and my kitchen table, mini-van, and local coffee shops were my office spaces!” remembers Findlay. Currently, LASS has eight employees, over 200 dedicated volunteers, a wonderful downtown office space, and many creative and supportive literacy programs for learners of all ages. Findlay comments, “I am so grateful for all of the amazing people in our community who have helped support LASS and community literacy over the years: our volunteer Board, LASS staff, volunteers, community organizations, local business-
Manning to moderate all-candidates forum
The Shuswap District Retired Teachers’ Association are pleased to announce that Mr. Frank Manning, a long-time Salmon Arm educator, has agreed to act as moderator for their all-candidate forum being held Thursday, October 8 at the Fifth Avenue Seniors’ Activity Centre. Mr. Manning is well-
known as a teacher of high school English in Salmon Arm, and is a past president of the North Okanagan Shuswap Teachers Association. All four candidates have agreed to participate, and are preparing responses to four questions which will kick off the two-hour debate. While it is
expected that questions will focus primarily on issues of importance to seniors, other issues will likely be discussed. Written questions will be solicited from the audience during the two-hour event, which will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. Refreshments will be available.
es, local media, and government officials. I will greatly miss connecting, collaborating, and learning from them all but I plan to be a continued community supporter of LASS and all things literacy-related.”

My father’s friend, who is also a doctor, came to visit us when I was in India, and in our conversation he mentioned that from time to time he goes for Vipassana at the Vipassana centre. I inquired what one did in a Vipassana centre. He said one has to remain quiet the whole day, with no other activities allowed, not even writing, computers, cell phones or TV, etc. This was surprising to me, as I tend to get more ideas for writing when I am quiet, and definitely at that moment would need a pen and paper to write on. So I became interested in hearing him further and wanted to know more as to how one can find inner peace. He further explained that after experiencing absolute silence, one is able to look at the inner self, including breathing and thoughts. If a person can explore his or herself deeply, answers can be found to questions and even to the root cause of one’s current stage of life. Along with this a tranquil and peaceful mind will be achieved. He said that these services are offered for free, and the whole atmosphere is humble and welcoming. He further added that he finds so much peace that he feels rejuvenated as a newer, positive person. Looking at me, he said, “I am also a writer, and I write better too.” When I returned from India, I checked if there were any Vipassana centres in B.C. and I found that there are about 15 centres in North America. For BC, information can be found on the website http://www.surabhi.dhamma.org. There is one centre not too far from Merritt, one on Salt Spring Island, and one opening soon in Sooke. Not everyone can go to Vipassana centres, but I do quiet times whenever I can, till the phone rings or the family needs my attention. During these times I am able to find peace, even in the little time I have available, and I sometimes find answers to things that my heart and mind is looking for. If you are able go to a centre, you would likely undergo a great transforming experience. If you do go, please share your experience with me at herbalclinc@outlook.com.

Finding time to care for Mom and Dad, with today’s demanding schedule, can be overwhelming and stressful, and it’s

One Stop Senior Shop has researched the needs of local families, and recognizes that a trusted service is necessary where the home support is lacking. At affordable rates, their range of services includes most standard household needs like yard care, household repairs, maintenance and service. Another subset of services include organization,

A celebration of breastfeeding
W o r l d Breastfeeding Week is celebrated in Canada from October 1-8, 2015. This year’s theme is Breastfeeding and Work: Let’s Make it Work! The week calls for global action to support women to combine breastfeeding and work. The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and continued breastfeeding, with the introduction of solid food, for two years or beyond. Successfully combining work and breastfeeding makes it easier for women to return to work and breastfeed longer, which benefits babies, mothers and employers. Whether a woman is working in a formal, non-formal or home setting, it is important she is empowered to breastfeed. “Time, space and support are essential for encouraging
breastfeeding at work. Employers can support breastfeeding by providing a clean, comfortable and private space and allowing a flexible time schedule to accommodate breastfeeding, said Patty Hallam, K n o w l e d g e Coordinator with Interior Health. “Support from a team of helpers that includes family, friends, health-care providers, communities, as well as employers and co-workers can make all the difference in building a woman’s confidence and comfort with breastfeeding.” Breastfeeding is natural but it is not always easy. Public health nurses are available at health centres across Interior Health to assist mothers and infants during the breastfeeding years and to ensure families have all the help they need to give babies the best start in
life. Contact your local public health centre for more information. Support is also a click away with Healthy Families BC’s Breastfeeding Buddy web-based app (https://www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/ articles/breastfeeding-buddy). This easy, fun and educational resource is designed to provide women and families with quick online access to key information about breastfeeding, support in their communities and answers to common questions. It also has fun, interactive tools to help families keep track of breastfeeding activities, diaper changes and sleep patterns. Interior Health nurses, along with their community partners, will be hosting events to mark World Breastfeeding Week. The events aim to raise awareness about the importance of breastfeeding and
In a recent article I explained how birth trauma can affect many newborns in various ways and the importance of chiropractic care in infancy. This week I want to discuss some of the reasons why parents bring their toddlers and children in for chiropractic care. Over my 18 years of adjusting kids, the top eight reasons I see children are as follows: 1. To reduce stress and interference on the nervous system which assists proper brain development. 2. To strengthen immunity which leads to reduced ear infections, colds and flus. 3. To reduce sleeping difficulties. 4. To assist with colic and overall baby fussiness. 5. To improve digestion and reduce gas, and constipation. 6. To improve spinal posture. 7. To decrease behavioral hyperactivity 8. To increase overall well-being and concentration. It is important to clarify chiropractic is not a treatment for any of the above childhood problems. Rather, chiropractic adjustments are intended to reduce stress and irritation on the nervous system to improve function. If any of the above mentioned ailments are resulting from nerve dysfunction, when subluxation is removed, the health and function of the child improves. Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiropractor who can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.
build support for breastfeeding in communities. All breastfeeding mothers and their supporters are encouraged to attend Breastfeeding Week events in their areas. Locally, there is a gathering on Saturday, October 3, 10:30– 11:30 a.m. at the Salmon Arm branch of Okanagan Regional Library, in the Piccadilly Mall. Come with your child and join in a collective breastfeeding celebration. Interior Health is committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and providing a wide range of quality health-care services to more than 742,000 people living across B.C.’s vast interior.

Looking back through history: CLIFF MICHAEL HELPED SALMON ARM AMALGAMATE Like many former residents of this area, Cliff and Dilys Michael read this column on the computer in their Victoria home every week. After last week’s story about Salmon Arm’s amalgamation in 1970, Cliff wrote me his part of Salmon Arm becoming one. He started with this: “You bring back fond memories.” His story is being used with his permission. SALMON ARM STUDENT GOES TO MICHIGAN He remembers, “In 1962 I was appointed by the Canadian Labour Congress to be the only Canadian student to receive a scholarship to attend the National Institute of Labour in Ann Arbour, Michigan for a 10-week course. There were 14 students… I was the only Canadian. “Early in the course we were all asked to write a thesis. Being a Grade 11 drop-out, I did not know what a thesis was! Once it was explained to me, I chose the title “Municipal Government – Too Frail to Sail.” “As a resident of Salmon Arm I had always thought that having two councils was a waste. I was surprised to find that the university had several books on Canadian Municipal Government and I read and studied every one. On my return to Salmon Arm I made several copies of my thesis and gave copies to both mayors and all councillors.” MAYORS ASKED CLIFF TO HEAD UP A COMMITTEE Cliff continues, “Within a few weeks I had a visit from both mayors – McKee and Nancollas. They asked if I would head up a committee to study amalgamation, to which I agreed. They asked what I thought the cost would be and I said ‘How about $50 bucks each’ to which they immediately agreed. “I called a community meeting and a lot of people showed up. We elected a large committee, many of whom later went on to serve on future councils. We held several committee meetings and met with all the senior staff from both the village and the municipality asking the same question: What are the pros and cons of amalgamation? “The only negative that arose was that when the population passed the 15,000 mark the cost of policing would go up. I believe the village population was about 1,800 and the municipality was 4,700.” COMMITTEE GOES TO REFERENDUM “We took our report to another public meeting and decided to go to Referendum. The first one failed as both parties Yes vote did not exceed 60%. The village vote was well over 80% Yes but the municipality vote was a little under 60%. “The municipal vote was largely influenced by a mailout flyer promoted by two dissidents, a large fruit stand owner and an owner of a nursery. A second Referendum passed. “One of the problems of the old system was that whenever a joint project was proposed, the village would argue per capita while the municipality would say O.K. but the cost is split 50/50! “Think of Salmon Arm’s Shaw Twin Sheet Arena and the development of the waterfront as just a couple of examples of projects that would have had a great deal of difficulty under the old system.”
CLIFF MICHAEL TRIES TO AMALGAMATE ARMSTRONG “In later years when I became MLA I tried to convince Armstrong to amalgamate. I brought in Minister Ritchie to meet with the two Mayors and a study was agreed on – the cost a whopping $15,000! And the results would have been the same: police costs increase once 15,000 population is reached. “Great to look back, Sally. Thanks for bringing the issue forward. Brings back a lot of memories.”
COPS FOR KIDS ENJOYED 3 VALLEY GAP’S HOSPITALITY On Thursday, September 17, 3 Valley Gap once again hosted the Cops for Kids for a BBQ dinner in its Heritage Ghost Town (above). This was the 10th year that the group had a BBQ dinner and stayed at the resort. It consisted of 25 riders and six support people. The riders cycled through 18 different communities across the south-eastern region of B.C. in awareness for children in medical, physical, and traumatic crisis. Funds raised along the route went to the Cops for Kids Charitable Foundation. A BUSINESS THAT HELPS A SENIOR STAY AT HOME At the Salmon Arm Fall Fair, I stopped at a commercial booth that had information geared to help seniors stay in their home longer than moving to a care facility. One Stop Senior Shop is a family business owned and operated by Carmen McManus, a former realtor in the Okanagan and now a resident of Salmon Arm with her family. A multiple service that provides a one stop shop for all senior needs including yard care, household repairs, social visits and activities, cleaning and organizing, in-home meal preparation, downsizing, etc. To help with downsizing, Carmen would start with small steps and ask you to pick five things you do not need right now.

LEARN INTERESTING HISTORY OF SALMON ARM DURING AN AFTERNOON AT THE CEMETERY Deborah Chapman, archivist at Salmon Arm Museum, will introduce an infamous line of characters on the pret-
tiest knolls in Salmon Arm. It will be at Mt. Ida Cemetery on Sunday, October 18 starting at 1 p.m. $7.00 per person, reservations are required, and only 35 spots are available. Call the Haney Village office at 250-832-5243 to reserve your spot. CURIOUS PAIR IN THE SKY ON SUNDAY Supermoon and total lunar eclipse paired on Sunday evening, Sept. 27, 2015. Stargazers got to see a double celestial treat when a total lunar eclipse coincided with a supermoon. That combination hasn’t happened seen since 1982 and won’t happen again until 2033. It started here at 7:30 p.m., and was called Blood Moon. Google supermoon and it will take you to CNN’s pictures of the moon from around the world. The website states: “The sun, the Earth and the moon lined up in a row to put on a light show in Sunday’s night sky, and people around the world looked up to watch the lunar eclipse.” Facebook also has many pictures. DO NOT BE TAKEN BY A PHONE SCAM The Publisher’s Clearing House phoned someone who wrote this: “…telling me I had won $2.5 million plus a new car. I was to go to the post office and send $950 to some woman in Duncan B.C. before they could deliver my prize. The police haven’t heard of this one yet, or hadn’t until I called them, but they assured me this was a scam. I called the anti-fraud number the police gave me and was told to call back another day as they were too busy that day. Maybe you could put a warning in your column so people will know.” OPEN HOUSE AT CARLIN HALL, SUN. OCT. 4 THE ARTS COUNCIL FOR THE SOUTH SHUSWAP This Sunday, Oct. 4, the Arts Council for the South Shuswap will host an Open House from 3 to 6 p.m, showcasing its newly renovated studios on the lower level of Carlin Hall. In January of this year, like-minded groups passionate about the arts, including the Shuswap Lake Festival of the Arts, FACES, the South Shuswap Children’s Theatre, and ACCESS who brought Music in the Bay to the area last summer, came together to establish the Arts Council for the South Shuswap. In a joint collaboration with the board of directors at Carlin Hall, the Arts Council has moved into the lower level of the hall and renovations are well underway. Reflecting the partnership in providing music, arts and cultural programming for the community (both instructional and entertainment), Carlin Hall has adopted a new name: The Carlin Community Arts & Cultural Centre. The upper level will continue to provide programming that has traditionally been available at Carlin. The lower level, now occupied by the Arts Council, will offer classes and workshops in dance, art, music and theatre to children and adults of the Shuswap. These like-minded boards share a collective vision to create a home for arts and culture in the South Shuswap. The hall boasts an 80+ year history in the area, having been established in 1933. For more information on all of the Arts Council, visit www.shuswaparts.com, and come to the Open House on Sunday to get a first-hand look at all of the great changes happening at the hall. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831

Night vision
If you are frustrated by all the turmoil in the world, perhaps you need to just spend a little time with a child to remind you of the simpler things in life. The other night it was my turn to tuck my youngest son in for the night which includes some reading time before bed. When I came upstairs I noticed his door was shut. “Are you ready?” I asked. “Not yet Dad. I have a surprise for you,” he replied. Eventually he called for me. However, when I opened the door to his room, I noticed him in bed with the lights out and he was wearing some contraption on his head that had two bright blue lights shining from it. “Do you notice anything?” he asked. “Well, you burned my retinas with those bright blue lights on your head!” I replied. “Ya. I’m wearing my night vision goggles!” he exclaimed with excitement. For Christmas a couple years ago, one of my sisters bought him a spy kit that included these “night vision” goggles. Essentially, they are plastic goggles with small bright blue lights on either side of the lenses. The whole thing is held on your head with a neoprene strap that includes a small battery pack at the back. He insisted that I close the door and keep the lights off as he wanted to read his book with his “night vision.” So, I stumbled over to his bed where he was sitting up with book in hand. He began reading with the assistance of the bright blue lights shining off the book. After he read a page or two, I corrected him on the pronunciation of a word. “How can you see the words, Dad?” he said. At that point he pushed his goggles up from his face and rested them on the top of his head. The blue lights of course were now shining towards the ceiling. Still holding the book in his hands, he began to look carefully at the pages. “Seriously, Dad how can you see the words? It is so dark and you don’t have night vision like me!” he exclaimed. I just laughed, but didn’t have the heart to tell him just yet that his night vision goggles didn’t exactly work the way he thought they did. After finishing the book, he hopped out of his

by Daron Mayes bed, stood on the other side of the room, and told me he was going to attack me. I mean, it makes perfect sense–I’m sitting helplessly on his bed without any idea where he could be except for the fact that piercing blue lights were shining at me from the corner of his room. He figured he would be able to sneak up and get me! So I quietly waited for him, but with a tight grip on a pillow. As he got closer I gave him a gentle love tap to the chest with the pillow. “Ooooh! You’re good, Dad! I can’t even sneak up on you with my night vision!” he said. Eventually, I convinced him to put the goggles away and get into bed. It was a great reminder of the imaginations children can have and that the rest of us shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. So if you are feeling a bit uptight and want a good laugh; go buy your child, grandchild, niece or nephew some “night vision” goggles!

perfect doing nail gels,” says Melissa. “I’m very creative and I love the spa industry. I love to help people and to provide a relaxing environment to escape to.” Melissa was born and raised in Salmon Arm, as was spa owner, Bonnie Ward. Bonnie studied esthetics at Vogue Esthetics College in North Vancouver and opened her first spa in the Lower Mainland. Bonnie has further training in podology and oncology esthetics.

New owners at Chestor’s House of Cinnamon After a month of training, David and Emma Duan have taken over Chestor’s House of Cinnamon in the Mall at Piccadilly from Kurt and Brenda Van Ember, who started the business nearly 16 years ago. David and Emma moved to Canada from Beijing with their son, Michael, who is three and a half years old. David has a degree in International Foreign Trade and has had various jobs in China ranging from sales manager at a hotel to interpreter and facilitator for adoption agencies. “I had been to Canada and the United States several times when I used to work for the adoption agency. I helped families adopt infants from orphanages.” Emma worked as an ICU nurse for 14 years. David says he and Emma miss their parents very much but they don’t miss the big city of 23 million. “Beijing is crowded and still growing,” he says. “The air and the water are not really good. I really wanted my son to grow up in a better environment.” David heard about Chestor’s from the BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP), an agency that helps skilled and experienced prospective immigrants find work or businesses in this province. He laughs as he talks about the first time he heard about Chestor’s. “I got the brochure – I knew about muffins and scones but I never heard about cinnamon buns. Now I know it’s quite popular. When you eat something sweet, it makes you happy.” David says he also realizes it’s not just the good food that has made Chestor’s a success in Salmon Arm. “It’s the atmosphere. People sit and eat and they enjoy the atmosphere.” David says he and Emma are looking forward to meeting lots of people, making friends, and becoming part of the community. “I’d like to say ‘hello’ to everyone in Salmon Arm. You are always welcome to visit our store whether you spend money or not, you are welcome.” Chestor’s is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. MondayThursday, and Saturday.

Income-splitting
Reading letters in the last two issues of the Lakeshore News, it appears the two different “splitting” of incomes is causing a lot of confusion. No party, as far as I’m aware, has said they will stop, reduce or change the choice pensioners have of splitting “pension income.” On the other hand, the totally different “income splitting” basically helps those who make high salaries and have a large family/household with one wage earner, OR households with two wage earners, one with a high wage and the second wage earner making very little money. This “income-splitting” reduces the amount of tax the high wage earners end up paying – the main reason some parties and many people would love to see it gone! J. Pring, Salmon Arm
Books reveal truth
Those people who support the Harper Conservative Party need to read “Party of One” by Michael Harris and/or “Kill the Messengers: Stephen Harper’s Assault on your Right to Know,” available in our library system. People who vote for the Harper Conservative Party are disconnected from reality. British Columbia’s environment is at risk due to Harper’s policy decisions. These two books are very disturbing, revealing the “truth” about Stephen Harper and the sad way our present electoral system works. Dean Harrison, Sicamous

Alarm bells ringing
Daily we see and hear of the so called “refugee crisis” in Europe and the condemnation of certain countries for not receiving these hordes of Muslims into their borders. I like Geert Wilders’ (of Holland) opinion and views, seeing this as an Islamic invasion, demanding entrance into especially Germany and other EU nations. Having seen pictures and read write-ups by folk on the ground there showing humanitarian aid, with food stuffs, clothing etc. strewn along highways, railroads, bus terminals speaks volumes of these invaders. A few suffering women and chil-
dren are thrown into this mad dash for a cover or sympathy for the gullible. Something the liberal media will not show you are pictures of bearded young men screaming “Allah Akbar” as they storm over the borders. Nor will the media report the Muslims’ real intent when reaching their intended destination. Ever heard of “No Go Zones” where Muslims run amuck? Does this shout of ‘Allah Akbar’ not ring alarm bells in your mind as it does for countless others? (me included) Mrs. J. Muir, Canoe

Harper trumps all
I have yet to hear a good argument for replacing Mr. Harper and the Conservatives. Canada has reached world status as the best place to live, thanks to P.M. Harper! He is the best Prime Minister in Canada’s history. He has given the media very little to report on these last eight years. I’ve seen over eighty years of federal governments and Mr. Harper trumps all who were before him. Canada has an important voice in global affairs now, thanks to his bold leadership at the UN. He is courageous and outspoken in defending Ukraine and Israel; the only voice in the UN that dares to stand alone in the face of 100% opposition. Thank you, Mr. Harper. Miriam Leggett, White Lake

PUBLIC HEARING Pursuant to the provisions of the Local Government Act and the Community Charter, NOTICE is hereby given that the Council of the District of Sicamous will hold a PUBLIC HEARING in Council Chambers, District of Sicamous Municipal Office, 446 Main Street, Sicamous, B.C. V0E 2V0 on Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. to consider the following application to amend the District of Sicamous Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 750, 2009 and the District of Sicamous Zoning Bylaw No. 101, 1993 as follows:
KAIROS presentation
‘What is the Harper government’s policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and is it helping to promote a just peace for Israel and Palestine?’ This is the topic of a public program scheduled for Sunday, October 4, 2:00 p.m. at the First United Church in Salmon Arm. Rabbi David Mivasair will speak by video link from Vancouver, documenting the issues from an informed and engaged Jewish perspective. Four short films on key questions, prepared by the United Church of Canada, will be followed by roundtable discussion. Rajai and Sue Ghattas will respond from the Palestinian perspective. United Nations resolutions and international law require that Israel end its 48-year occupation of the Palestinian territories and dismantle all Jewish settlements in these territories. Canada should take a constructive role to promote a negotiated, just peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority that ensures respect for human rights and international law. The program will be facilitated by Dr. Warren Bell who will also present a brief outline of Canada’s policies towards Israel. This will be a pre-election opportunity for concerned citizens to take a critical look at the Harper government’s policy on this vital topic, which has implications for security in the Middle East and internationally. There will also be information on how people can engage in a range of actions that support a just peace. The program is sponsored by the Salmon Arm Ecumenical KAIROS Committee.

Unfortunately the weather did not co-operate on Saturday so the draw needed to be modified on Sunday when several athletes withdrew from competition. Many thanks to SASCU for their generous donation of $500 to assist with paying out prize money for the athletes who competed. Much appreciation also to tournament director Doug Rawson
and the volunteers who assisted with the tournament, especially clearing the wet courts. Mixed A Doubles winners: Audrey Chu & Brandon Fung over Eva Koksalova and Cal Benazic 7-5, 6-4. Mixed B Doubles winners: Marianne VanBuskirk & Bob Langford over Marietjie du Plessis & Erasmus Bonthuys 6-1, 6-4. Men’s A Doubles winners: Joe McFadden & Dan Wark over Bob Langford & George Koscis 7-6, 6-4. Ladies’ A Doubles winners:
Marietjie du Plessis & Loree Boyd over Shannon Hecker and Marianne VanBuskirk in a close 4-6, 6-1, 10-5 super tiebreaker. Men’s A Singles winner: Brandon Fung over Joe McFadden 6-0, 6-1. Ladies’ A Singles winner: Audrey Chu over Eva Koksalova 6-2, 7-6. Big winners were Kelowna UBCO students Brandon Fung and Audrey Chu who both won their Singles A events as well their Mixed A Doubles event.
Backyard apple growers invited to juice their fruit
At this time of year, many people with backyard apple trees are wondering what they are going to do with all their fruit. They can’t possibly eat it all, use them in baking or even give them all away. Now, backyard growers can have their apples professionally juiced during a public juicing event. Hanna & Hanna Farm Market and the Mobile Juice Factory are hosting a public juicing event on Monday, October 12th, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Hanna & Hanna Farm
Market location, 3181 11 Ave NE. The public is invited to bring 150 pounds or more of their apples which will be turned into juice right before their eyes. 150 pounds will create about nine 5 litre boxes of juice. The bag-in-box juice has an unrefrigerated shelf life of up to one year unopened, and up to three months after opening. The concept is based on popular public juicing events in Germany. It is a seasonal tradition when neighbours get
together with their apples for juicing. They enjoy their own juice throughout the year. The public may bring their minimum 150 pounds of clean apples in buckets, bags or buckets. 150 lbs may seem like a lot, but get together with a neighbour or friend and you’ll be surprised how quickly you come up with 150 pounds. Customers will have their apples pressed on a first come, first served basis. The fee for juicing is $6.75 per 5 litre box.

Mr. Holmes
Based on Mitch Cullin’s novel “A Slight Trick of the Mind,” Mr. Holmes is a new twist on the world’s most famous detective. Set in 1947, an aging Holmes (Ian McKellen), after returning from a trip to Japan and witnessing the devastation of nuclear warfare, decides to settle into his remote seaside home and tend to his bees as he lives out the end of his days. But struggling with the diminished skills of his mind, Holmes still finds himself haunted by the 30-year-old unsolved case that forced him into retirement. He comes to rely on his only company, his housekeeper (Laura Linney) and her young son Roger, to help him piece together the fragments of his memories and perhaps, finally solve the mystery and share it with the world, in not John Watson’s words, but his own. Mr. Holmes shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 3rd, at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Training cuts into teaching time
By Tom Fletcher, Black Press B.C. teachers switching to the education ministry’s new curriculum this year will use 10 hours of classroom time to train on it. Education Minister Mike Bernier announced the training plan Monday at the B.C. legislature, with teacher, trustee and parent representatives alongside. Bernier said training the first 2,000 teachers to deliver the new curriculum this year will cost $1 million and take the equivalent of two teaching days. It’s up to local school districts to decide how that time is organized, but it may mean extra non-instructional days or parts of days when students would be sent home early. The new curriculum is being piloted this year for kindergarten through Grade 9 and will become mandatory across the province starting next fall. Curriculum updates for the higher grades are still in development. For the next two years, teachers across B.C. will use one of their current professional development days for curriculum training and an additional five hours, the equivalent
of one classroom day, will also be devoted to the new curriculum. Bernier confirmed that the program is being implemented within existing budgets. The additional $1 million this year is to fund teacher training seminars and travel costs for rural teachers where the training isn’t offered in their home districts. The training plan was announced with representatives of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, the B.C. School Trustees’ Association, superintendents, principals and vice principals, parent advisory councils, independent schools, and the First Nations Steering Committee. BCSTA president Teresa Rezansoff said school boards will decide how to structure the training to “best meet the needs of teachers while minimizing any impact on student learning time.” Bernier says the new curriculum emphasizes “hands on” learning and more flexibility for individualized studies. Two areas of emphasis are environmental education and an enhanced aboriginal perspective in every subject.
That big beautiful moon and its effect on hunters and anglers
As my hunting buddy Bruce’s brake lights slammed on, I cruised up beside him in my vehicle. Down in that big ol’ alfalfa field, beside acres of unharvested corn, were eight mule deer. We had hunted hard from daybreak til now, in the Westwold/ Redrock area, and had not seen hide nor hair of a deer. The odd thing about this situation, was it was now 12:31 p.m. Driving along the Trans Canada highway, just east of the Canoe mill, and glancing out onto Shuswap Lake, at 4:31 p.m. Monday afternoon, I could see rainbow trout jumpin’ here and there, after bugs on the surface I guess. But for those hunters and anglers in the know, after years of studying the ways of animals and birds; they, like I, know it’s all to do with that beautiful big moon in the sky, and solunar time tables. Needless to say, we did have an enjoyable day in the Westwold area, and I have never seen such a magnificent and lush green space, for ranching and farming. After all, historically, Douglas Lake

they were driving a blue and white truck. Two other bulls taken in the same location at this time may also have been the work of these folks. Many hunters report seeing little game. It’s time you got off your keester and quad, and did a bit of tramping around like we do. Fishing report: All indications say that fishing is good on most lakes at present, so get out there and enjoy this great fall weather, and just remember: When the sluggin’ gets tough, the tough get going, so enjoy our great Shuswap, whatever your fancy!

Censored by pit bull bullies
I received a call last week from the owner of a media company that’s been publishing my column for almost four years. He claimed my recent article “Pit bull propaganda is deadly” had caused such a negative backlash that he and his wife felt it necessary to cancel my column. “We love your work,” he said. “And we don’t disagree with you on this issue, but these people are very hostile and they won’t let up. They’re relentless.” Yes, I know they are. That’s what my article titled “Won’t back down” from two weeks ago was about. His news site didn’t run that column though. Not the next one either, despite it having nothing to do with pit bulls. The aggressive vocal minority accomplished what they set out to do: I was removed from their list of columnists, and my voice with their readers was silenced. This is certainly nothing new. Any media that’s dared to publish facts about the inherent dangers of pit bulls has had to deal with mob campaigns conducted by pit bull fanatics from all over North America threatening to harass advertisers or whatever else they can think of in order to convince editors and publishers to shy away from this topic in the future. “Don’t bully my breed” is a common message from the pit bull advocacy camp. Ironically, they have no problem bullying anyone who speaks the horrifying truth,
J’s PUMPS & PLUMBING
and that includes the bereaved parents of dead children who were killed by them. Celebrities and high-profile people have felt their wrath as well. In 2012 it was reported in the Vancouver Sun that Miss Universe Canada believed the provincial government should either adopt a pit bull ban or at least require them to be leashed and muzzled at all times. After the story came out the ferocious reaction against her was wide spread, sparking an online petition from California asking for 10,000 signatures to strip Sahar Biniaz of her title. It ended up garnering 6718 supporters and oodles of vicious comments accusing her of being a hateful, lying, moronic, breedist bimbo. The fact she’d been attacked by her own well-raised, much-loved family pit bull at the age of 14 only proved to them that she was a whiny loser who obviously did something to provoke the dog. American television personality Kelly Ripa experienced similar fall out later that year in October after she made a rather innocuous inquiry on her talk show while interviewing actor Christopher Walken about the breed of dog his character had in the movie he was promoting: “I mean, if it’s a gangster, it would have to be a dangerous pit bull kind of dog, right?” Word quickly spread over social media about her ignorant stereotyping of the poor misunderstood breed - during “Pit Bull
OnaBrighterNote
Awareness Month” no less. On at least one of the petitions against her, they falsely changed her quote to: “Pits are dangerous and only gang bangers and thugs own them.” The multi-million dollar funded pit bull advocacy camp is very efficient. As soon as an article or interview perceived to be maligning the reputation of the pit bull has been posted to the internet, the troops are gathered to launch their assault. Nancy Grace, Judge Judy, Dr. Laura and many radio hosts, journalists and TV personalities have experienced it first hand. This menacing group may be able to intimidate some into silence, and they may be able to trick some into believing pit bulls are just like any other dog, but they can’t seem to stop the ongoing daily attacks reported in the news. They also can’t change the fact that pit bulls only make up 6% of the dog population in the US, yet maim, disfigure and kill more children, adults, pets and livestock than all other breeds combined. None of the other 160+ breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club even come close. Censoring this message isn’t just disrespectful to the hundreds of thousands of human and animal victims, it’s highly irresponsible to the public at large. We deserve to know these dogs were bred to fight to the death and don’t require
by Lori Welbourne bad owners or training for their genetics to kick in. We deserve to know that an enforced BSL (breed specific legislation) works for the betterment of all, and that’s why public safety advocates as well as the largest animal rights organization in the world fully support it. For several years PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has stated the only way to stop the killing of millions of unwanted pit bulls is to stop creating new ones. So why does the breeding continue? Why does the propaganda persist? Ontario has banned pit bulls for 10 years now, implementing stricter regulations such as having to wear a muzzle for grandfathered pit bulls. In 2004, the last full year before the ban, there were 984 licensed pit bulls in Toronto and 168 reported bites. Last year there were 501 licensed pit bulls and only 13 bites. The number of reported bites dropped significantly from 168 to 13. Enforced BSL works and our entire nation should be following Ontario’s lead.

June 01, 1927 – September 23, 2015 Colliss, Arthur John “Jack” of Blind Bay, BC passed away peacefully at home on September 23, 2015 at the age of 88 years. He was predeceased by his wife Florence Colliss in 1999 and by his parents Eric and Grace Colliss. Left to mourn his passing is his loving family; son John (Dorothy), grandchildren Nathan and Dylan of Cloverdale, BC. His sister Barbara (Louis) Salina, niece Jodi-Anne and family of Dryden, Ontario and nephew Charles and family of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Jack was born in Dryden, Ontario and spent many years in that area before moving to BC in 1968 and settling in the South Surrey area where he raised his family. He spent his working years between pipeline work and construction until retiring in 1984 and retiring to Campbellford, Ontario on the Trent-Severn waterway. Jack spent his whole life helping others and had a lot of love for the living. His sense of humour, being a social person as he was, he has touched many lives and will never be forgotten by those closest to him. The family would especially like to thank all those in the Blind Bay/Eagle Bay communities for their love, friendship and hospitality that was shown to Jack throughout his 25 years of living on the Shuswap. Jack did not like to be in the limelight or have any fanfare for him. Therefore the family will respect his wishes that there be no service. He will be cremated and his ashes will join his wife. Donations in lieu of flowers in memory of Jack may be sent to the BC Guide Dog Services, 6050 44th Avenue, Delta, BC V4K 3X7. Online condolences may be sent though Jack’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

The overpopulation of feral cats
By Shelley Hand, Branch Manager, BC SPCA Shuswap Branch First off, I would like to explain the difference between a feral cat and a stray cat. A feral cat is a feline who lives outside a normal home and has to some extent reverted to a wild state. They originate from lost or abandoned domestic cats that either became wild themselves after living on their own or parented feral offspring. A stray is a lost or abandoned cat that still retains his tame nature. Most cats living on their own are feral and live in groups called colonies. The cats in a colony share territory and a common food source. Feral colonies can form anywhere there is adequate food and shelter. Most feral cat colonies are found within a community, not off by themselves in the woods. Although some cats do roam on their own, it is most common that they are in groups which can be found in backyards, parking lots, factories, a barn, or an alley behind an apartment building. So what can we do? TRAPNEUTER-RETURN or TNR. This is a method for humanely and effectively managing feral cat colonies and reducing feral cat populations. The process involves trapping the cats in a colony, getting them neutered/ spayed, ear tipped for identification and vaccinated for rabies, then releasing them back into their territory. A designated caretaker provides regular food and shelter to the returned cats and also monitors the colony for newcomers and mediates any conflicts between the cats and the surrounding community. Whenever possible, friendly adults and kittens young enough to be easily socialized are removed and placed for adoption. Usually, kittens six to seven weeks of age or younger are not yet developed enough to be highly feral and can easily be socialized within a matter of days. Beyond five to six months of age, the cat in most cases is fully feral and will likely remain so for life. What are some of the advantages of TNR? For a particular colony, getting the cats neutered/spayed has the following advantages for the local neighborhood:
1. No more kittens and a gradually falling population. 2. Noise is dramatically reduced. Noise from an unmanaged feral colony comes from mating and fighting. 3. Odour becomes much less noticeable. Unaltered males mark their territory by spraying urine tinged with testosterone, causing a particularly noxious odour. When altered, male cats tend to not mark as frequently or stop all together. 4. Rodent control is maintained. Cats provide a natural form of rodent control, primarily as a consequence of their scent. Returning the cats allows this to continue.
Some people think that the solution is to trap them and then have them euthanized. This may work in the short term, but in most cases, this reduction is only temporary and eventually the cat population returns to its former level. Feral cat colonies spring up and exist in certain locations because the habitat provides adequate food and shelter for them to survive. When a colony is removed from a location, but the habitat is left unchanged, unneutered cats from neighboring colonies sooner or later will move into the vacant territory to take advantage of the still remaining food and shelter and the cycle starts all over again. What about removing the food source? All it takes to create a source is an unsealed dumpster, open garbage cans or one person leaving out cans of food. Domestic cats are constantly being abandoned into the outdoors, and typically, they are not neutered. They too, can quickly repopulate a suitable territory from which a feral colony has been removed, but in which food and shelter remain. In summary, trying to simply remove feral cats from their territory – whether to eutha-
nize, rescue, relocate to another site or place in a sanctuary – does not end up lowering the number of feral cats. In nature’s ongoing cycle, new cats replace the old ones, and nothing much changes in terms of overpopulation and nuisance behaviour. Leaving the cats where they are and neutering them through TNR is the only hope for improvement. So how do we undertake this program to help with the overpopulation of feral cats? With the assistance of caretakers and volunteers, we concentrate on trapping cats one colony at a time. The effectiveness of the TNR project and longterm security of the cats depends largely on the dedicated efforts, cooperation and understanding from the people who live in our community. This year, the BC SPCA awarded over $80,000 to private veterinarians, rescues, local government and BC SPCA Branches to cover the cost of spay/neuter surgeries and permanent identification for the most vulnerable companion animals in our province. Our collective grant program goal is to spay and neuter 711 cats and 435 dogs by December 31, 2015. The Shuswap SPCA has been approved for the grant amount of $4,800 to fix 50 cats in our community. We have presently been working with three colony caretakers and have trapped, neutered and returned 22 cats. We have also been successful in the rehabilitating and re-homing of many of the kittens from these colonies. If you are currently caring for a feral colony we would like to hear from you. We are collecting as much data as possible on the whereabouts of feral colonies in our area. With the help of the community, we hope to bring down the population levels of feral cats and it is our hope that, together, we will achieve humane communities that prioritize proactive, preventative animal welfare models.

Gemini, you can strike up a conversation with just about anyone this week. Your gift for gab makes you a fun person to have around and a welcome member to any new group.

LEO

VIRGO
Virgo, although you’re not a big fan of the spotlight, this week you will be asked to handle a situation on center stage. You just may enjoy the situation, so don’t fret about it.
