This event brings seniors together for an evening of entertainment and fun as well as a silent auction. Typically the Sorrento Memorial Hall is packed with 175 seniors who come to enjoy the local 35+ member Glee Club choir. Donations to the silent auction were made by local businesses and the total dollar value of these donations was $4,158.50. The club provided snacks in the form of trays of meat, cheese, sandwiches and vegetables as well as coffee and tea. The Club makes a donation to the Glee Club for their performance. This year the silent auction raised $2,260 and the 50/50 draw raised $240. Proceeds from the silent auction and the 50/50 draw will go towards the purchase of an ABI (Ankle Brachial Index) machine, used to diagnose Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). The ABI uses an ultrasound doppler to determine the blood pressure at the upper
arm and the ankle s i m u l t a n e o u s l y. Donations were accepted at the door and totalled $640, and will be given to the Sorrento Elementary School for their breakfast food program. It was a tremendous success this year and feedback from the community is very positive. A very special thank you to all of the donors for the silent auction – they couldn’t have done it without you.

Healthy holidays
With Christmas arriving, many people’s social calendars are already booking up with holiday events that will more than likely include chances to over-indulge in unhealthy food and drinks. Considering this, it is not a surprise December is one of the toughest months to maintain a healthy diet and fitness level. So this week I wanted to provide a few simple tips to help prevent you from developing a snowman-sized waistline by January. Maintain your routine: With so many extra social events and holiday preparations pulling at everyone’s already limited free time it is easy to simply skip the normal exercise, healthy diet, and regular chiropractic adjustments. A mindset of “I’ll take December off, and get back on track in January with healthy routines” can really set you back. In fact, with all of the extra stress around the holidays it’s even more important to maintain those healthy habits. Plan healthy socializing: Visiting friends and family while gathered around a beautiful Christmas tree with a rum and egg nog in hand may be heavenly for many, but there are healthier ways to get together with loved ones. We are blessed to live in an area as beautiful as Salmon Arm, so make plans to get together with others to enjoy activities like walks in the snow, snowshoeing, or cross country skiing. These activities that allow you to connect with others while being
active, and a little egg nog around the tree after won’t be such a guilty pleasure. Balance your diet: Completely avoiding all the holiday sweets is probably not realistic, but choosing your foods wisely will really help. When you are socializing, choose more healthy vegetables rather than relying on cakes, tarts and other sweets as your sole source of nutrition. It is also important to not starve yourself before the holidays because this will usually cause you to consume even more unhealthy foods. Pick a partner: Organize a like-minded friend or family member to be your “healthy holiday partner.” Arrange with them to exercise together and keep in constant touch through texts, emails and phone calls; hold each other accountable for health choices through the holidays. Having someone there to support you makes it easier to not fall off the health-wagon in December. Maintain your adjustments: The extra physical, chemical and emotional stress of the holiday season all negatively impacts the nervous system. Through this season it is beneficial to increase your wellness frequency of chiropractic adjustments so we can come into the New Year having not lost any health progress. Dr. Warren Gage is available through December at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic and can be reached at (250) 803-0224.

Thanks to a partnership with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, branches throughout the Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) system are participating in the BC PAD (Public Access to Defibrillation) program and are ready to support people suffering from cardiac arrest. 21 ORL branches plus its Administration Centre in Kelowna now have donated AED (Automated External Defibrillators) machines installed. Nationally, the Heart and Stroke Foundation has been working with partners to install the life-saving devices in hundreds of publicly accessible locations, including are-
nas, community centres, senior centres, and libraries. Several lives have been saved thanks to quick access to the defibrillators. The machines work by shocking the heart back into a normal rhythm and preventing heart failure. AEDs have been installed in many ORL branches. Staff at locations with an AED have been trained by paramedics from BC Emergency Health Services in the use and support of the device. For more information on the BC PAD program and how to use an AED in case of emergency, visit www.bcpadprogram.ca.
Set in the 1950’s, Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan) is a young Irish girl who departs from the comfort of her mother and sister in Ireland to immigrate across the sea to New York City; lured by the promise and opportunity of America. Though her initial homesickness seems crippling, she soon finds a job, starts taking night courses, and finds fresh romance in a young Italian, Tony. But just as Eilis is finally settling into her new life, a sudden tragedy befalls her family and she must return home. Once there, she reconnects with an old friend, Jim (Domhnall Gleeson), who her friends and family all wish she

With her heart pulled in both directions, Eilis must not only choose between the two countries, but the lives she will lead within them; discovering that where we come from is not the only definition of Home.

ENJOY CAROLLING ON DOWNTOWN STREETS Shuswap Singers will be sidewalk carolling downtown Salmon Arm on Thurs. Dec 17, 6:30-8 p.m. Bring family and friends to enjoy a magical evening of holiday favourites! DECORATED TREES BRIGHTEN DOWNTOWN Jespersen Tree Farm donated 32 trees to the downtown. Robyn and Ed Jespersen did the same last year, and their gift brought the town alive, so they did the same this year. One of their employees and a person from the city crew sank them into the round flower beds. Lindsay Wong, manager of Downtown Salmon Arm, put a call out for businesses that wanted to decorate a tree and they came forward, complete with lights. You’ll see their cards on their tree. SWIM COACH BARRY HEALEY TRIED TEACHING ME Coming from Saskatchewan, I didn’t learn how to swim as a child because sloughs were too shallow and dirty. My parents were afraid of deep water. Forty years ago, after I made sure my children learned how to swim in Salmon Arm, I wanted to learn as well. After failing in Penticton when I was there for a writing course, I heard that Barry Healey of Vernon had a foolproof method of teaching people who were afraid of water. That was me. He had come from England where he taught people to swim across a water-filled ditch on the side of the road. He gave lessons in his home’s swimming pool. Barry lives in Salmon Arm now and is the swimming coach at the SASCU Rec Centre pool. Recently his Selkirks swim team came home from two tournaments with 94 medals. When I read in September that he is the swimming coach here, I stopped at the rec centre and reminded him of my classes from him. While I learned from Barry to be less afraid of being in deep water, I did not learn how to swim. Not ever. Not from a person nor a class. Finally a coach in Salmon Arm told me I will never swim because I am a sinker. UKRAINIANS IN OUR GOVERNMENT: FREELAND, MIHYCHUK, AMBROSE The president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, phoned and congratulated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for choosing two Ukrainians for his cabinet: Chrystia Freeland and MaryAnn Mihychuk. The interim Conservative leader is also Ukrainian, according to Ukrainian News from Edmonton – Rona Ambrose, whose maiden name is Chapchuk. Maclean’s magazine said she is moving into Stornoway, the house for the leader of the opposition. LITTLE TREASURES IN ENDERBY ART GALLERY This month, artists and artisans who display work at Enderby’s Courtyard Gallery invite you to the December exhibition of “Little Things” – their third pre-Christmas showing. For this show only, the gallery has some very special artisans whose work is available for this month only. Prices start at $10. Christmas hours are Monday to Saturday, 10 to 4, finishing at 4 p.m. on Dec. 24. 907 Belvedere St, Enderby. www.courtyardgallery.ca GARBLED NUMBERS ON MY CHARGE CARD BILL My new charge card’s monthly invoice was as clear as a bell, but when I printed the statement, some numbers were garbled. I used a calculator in April and found totals on the
two pages were not the same. An Alberta motel bill was $20 more on the garbled bill than on the invoice. I phoned the motel. It was correct. I kept making calls to the company till I finally got a $20 refund put on my bill. I wrote head office with my story. In September, I was overcharged on my charge card bill by $20 for getting my car fixed in Calgary. I began phoning the charge card company again and got the same song and dance: it was my Apple computer and Apple printer. I said I will take the problem to the store. “Oh don’t do that!” I was told. So the company cancelled my charge card. HAPPY ORGANIC PIGS RAISED WITH LOVE Two large freezers with glass tops were at the organic market on Dec. 2, exhibiting vacuum packaged and flash frozen organic pork from Berkshire pigs. Wild Moon Organics from Armstrong will be back in Salmon Arm every two weeks for the organic market at Askew’s Uptown. Richard Quiring is originally from Saskatchewan. He raises 250 pigs year-round, and rotates them in pastures in season. The pigs can thrive happily in the environment provided for them. It is the only organic pork being raised in the BC interior. www.wildmoon.org Wild Moon Organic has been taking pork packages to Kelowna and Farmer’s Markets, and now it is coming to the organic market in Salmon Arm. The next market is Dec. 18 from 3 to 5 p.m. in Askew’s Uptown parking lot. Enjoy! AT PICCADILLY, HONOUR THE LIFE OF A LOVED ONE WHO IS NO LONGER HERE Shuswap Hospice Society has a table and decorated tree in Piccadilly, next to Bookingham’s gift display in the mall. You can leave a memory of someone in a book, turn on a light bulb on the tree, and take home a little volunteer-made angel from the tree. Some people like to give a donation but it isn’t necessary. December 19 will be the last day hospice volunteers will be there. Shuswap Hospice Society is the only non-profit, charitable organization in the Shuswap that provides compassionate care and understanding for the dying and bereaved. Funds raised in the area remain in the area to provide hospice programs to citizens free of charge in Salmon Arm, Sicamous, Sorrento, Enderby and Chase. STUART McLEAN HAS CANCER, CANCELS TOUR Storyteller and CBC host Stuart McLean called off Vinyl Café Christmas Tour after Nov. 22 across Canada. The tour has been going since 1998. After learning he has melanoma, he started treatment immediately. He announced on his Facebook page: “The [melanoma] treatment is, as my wonderful doctor describes it, the poster child of cancer therapy.” “It feels like I invited everyone to dinner and am calling to say the party’s off. I don’t know what to say except, I am sorry.” “IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?” An announcement was made at Shaw Centre at the start of Saturday evening’s hockey game against Langley, asking for a doctor in Section A. Lisa, an anesthetist from Ontario, who was sitting near me, answered the call. The man had fallen, had a bump on his head, and was waiting to be taken to the hospital, so the doctor saw that he was in good hands. Lisa’s son plays for the Langley team. She flew to
Vancouver to spend a few days with him, and watched a few of his games. The team’s management allowed her son to stay in a hotel with his mother, and they drove to Salmon Arm in his car. SYRIAN REFUGEE FUNDRAISER IS AN ITALIAN WEDDING FEAST This Sunday, Dec. 13, dinner and entertainment in the form of an Italian wedding feast will be held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. Doors open at 5:30, festivities begin at 6 p.m. $30 per person. All proceeds to the Syrian refugee fund. COLLECTION GOES TO REFUGEES FROM ADVENT FESTIVAL OF READING & MUSIC An annual advent festival was held at St. John’s Anglican Church in Salmon Arm on Sunday evening, December 6, followed by a reception in the hall. The collection will go to the refugee family fund at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. The two churches are partnering to support a family in Salmon Arm. UKRAINE IS GETTING FREE TRADE WITH EU Brussels was the last member state of the European Union to ratify the Association Agreement with Ukraine, and now this agreement is ratified by all 28 EU countries, said the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. Recently, the EU confirmed to Ukrainian authorities that the free trade area with Ukraine will come into force from January 1, 2016. ENGLISH LANGUAGE REPLACING RUSSIAN IN NEW UKRAINIAN PASSPORTS A petition with 25,000 signatures as of October 27 was given to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko suggesting that Russian-language entries in Ukrainian passports, which are given along with the original Ukrainian version, should be removed and proposed that Russian could be replaced with English. He also said that a proposal to formalize the changes legislatively had already been sent to the Cabinet of Ministers. OVER OR UNDER TOILET PAPER ROLL The debate has finally been settled as to which way the toilet paper roll should be placed, thanks to Facebook. The 1891 patent for the toilet paper roll reveals that the end of the roll should be positioned on the outside, in the “over” position. I knew that!

Local exam writers
Shopping spree spoils donated
The winner of this year’s Salmon Arm Rotary Club Askew’s Foods 3 Minute Shopping Spree was Jackie Bolen (pictured above with Salmon Arm Rotary Club President Warne Lynd). Jackie is a volunteer at the Second Harvest Food Bank and she
donated all of the food from her shopping spree to the Second Harvest Food Bank. The total was $1,504. The winner of the second prize, a $250 Askew’s Foods Gift Card, was Dennis Smith. Photo contributed.
Salmon Arm’s Colin Nobbs and Chelsea Van de Cappelle passed the multi-day national Common Final Examination (CFE), which was administered by the CPA Western School of Business (CPAWSB) in September. A total of 331 B.C. and Yukon writers have successfully completed the exam, announced recently by the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia (CPABC) and CPAWSB. In order to become designated, students must complete rigorous course work, pass the CFE, and fulfill relevant practical experience requirements. The national CFE ensures all Canadian chartered professional accountants meet the same high standards, which are recognized nationally and internationally. “It is an exciting time in the Canadian accounting world. September saw the inaugural offering of the CFE, and I am pleased to announce that 716 candidates were successful in the western provinces. These candidates have demonstrated a high degree of professionalism, technical skill and business acumen, and represent the bright future of the unified profession. We wish this first cohort of successful writers all the best as they move forward in their careers,” said Steve Vieweg, FCPA, FCMA, CEO of CPAWSB. CPAWSB delivers the nationally-developed CPA professional education program in Canada’s western region. Throughout the program, CPA candidates develop the competencies expected of professional accountants, developing technical skills and enabling competencies as they grow in professionalism and leadership.
Christmas budgeting 101
If you are like me, you’re just starting to wake up to the fact that Christmas is around the corner and you still haven’t bought a thing. This is probably the worst way to shop for gifts, so I thought we should have an educational article on how you should approach spending during this Christmas season. Here is a list of ways to take the bite out of Christmas overindulgence. The first rule of thumb is not to wait until the last minute. So if this is you and you are reading this article now, it’s too late. The good news is you can apply this rule to 2016. What better than a turn of the calendar to rid you of the guilt of spending foolishly in 2015? Similar to #1, it is far better to slowly purchase gifts throughout the year than to wait until December 24th. By spending through the year, you will avoid impulsive purchases. You are also more likely to get a practical gift and to get that gift at a discount. So don’t start shopping December 24th, but do start December 26th. It is a theme here, but focus your spending on practical gifts. Personally, I think it is great to give your kids clothes, shoes or sports equipment for Christmas. You are going to spend money on these things anyway; why not make it part of a Christmas gift? You don’t have to get sucked in by the glitz and glamour of buying the latest toy or video game. Those items are very quickly found barely used in a box or under your kid’s bed. Buy one larger, but quality gift that can be used by the whole family instead of a lot of smaller gifts that don’t have as much meaning. A couple years ago we bought a ping pong table for the whole family and it still gets lots of use and is something we can do together. Speaking of getting a gift you can all enjoy; buy a board game or a puzzle. It is much more interactive than everyone sitting in opposite corners of the house playing on their electronic devices. Be proactive in trying to strengthen relationships; not just thumb muscles. Another example of a practical gift is to put money into a child’s Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) or investment account. It doesn’t have to be much, but it’s a great practical

by Daron Mayes gift that your child will appreciate down the road. Don’t overspend. It sounds simple, but we all do it. Once a kid has a couple gifts, the third, fourth or fifteenth gift tend to lose some of its value; especially if they are getting multiple gifts from multiple people. If you set the expectation that the child will receive thirty gifts, then that is exactly what they’ll expect. If you set the expectation of a more reasonable number of gifts, the child will be okay with that too. A final thought is to give a gift of service instead of a present under the tree. Make up coupons of things you will do with or for others that are special. Gifts of service save you money, get you thinking of others and will build valuable long-term memories. There you have it! A few practical suggestions to help you with your Christmas shopping without breaking the bank or being wasteful.

Typical Uzbek joke
There is a smart guy who borrows a big pan from his neighbour. The next day he brings it back with a small pan inside and the neighbour says, “What’s this?” “Your pan gave birth to a small pan. It’s the baby.” The neighbour is happy to have two pans and he takes it. Some days later the smart guy asks the neighbour if can can borrow the same big pan and the neighbour is happy to give it. The smart guy never returns it and neighbour worries about it and finally goes to see him. “Where is my pan?” The smart guy says with a sad face: “Your pan just passed away.” “How can it pass away?” asks the neighbour. “If it can give birth, it can pass away.”
A new life in Canada
When Ziyba Ibragimova moved to Salmon Arm from her native Uzbekistan in 2012 she didn’t realize how much she would love the seasons, especially the fall. “Where I’m from it’s like a desert. In the summer it can get to 50 degrees for about three or four months and in the winter it is 20 below. It’s really cold because of the desert wind. We have snow but not as much as here. When I came to Salmon Arm I saw the beauty of all the seasons. I didn’t know the fall could be so beautiful.” Ziyba [pronounced “Zee bah”] grew up in the city of Nukus, the capital city of the Karakalpakstan, an autonomous republic in western Uzbekistan. “‘Stan’ means land. Karakalpakstan means ‘Land of the Karakalpak people. Kara means black and kalpak means hat - so black hat. I don’t know where it comes from,” she says, laughing. “We are different from the Uzbek people. Karakalpak people look more Mongolian and Asian. Uzbeks look more caucasian like

She also discovered Shakespeare, which she read in Russian. “Dad got me Shakespeare tragedies. I read Hamlet, Othello, and Lear.” This life immersed in literature wasn’t typical, she explains, especially for

My dad is a writer and a poet. We had writers and poets as guests.” Her mother worked as a tour guide in the Nukus Museum of Art. “I used to spend time just walking around the museum. That’s why I love art.” Ziyba grew up in a typical Soviet-style apartment. About a dozen other children lived in the building. “Most of the kids

After being an independent country we were allowed to wear a dress, or a black skirt and a white blouse. Girls were not allowed to wear pants.” Ziyba’s family had a black and white TV, but it didn’t always work. “So I read a lot, what else can you do?” she says, smiling. “I think the only escape I had was books.

girls. “Girls are supposed to do more house chores. I helped make dinner and do laundry – by hand. In my culture, women learn to cook, to dress nicely, and to be a good wife and mother. But my father wanted his daughters to be educated, to go to university and be professors.” After Ziyba graduated from high school she went to Karakalpak State University in her home city of Nukus, where she got her teaching degree. “It was a busy life being a teacher. We work six days a week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Only Sunday was a holiday. I worked in a school where they taught languages. I worked for three years
as a teacher then I got accepted to work with Doctors Without Borders. I worked as a mental health counsellor.” Meanwhile, Ziyba got a post-graduate counseling degree in Tashkent, the capital city of Uzbekistan. She was sent to a particular refugee camp in her country. “It was tough to work there, to see their sadness and to see young men in the hospital with one leg.” At the camp she worked with a Canadian man. Their friendship blossomed into love and they were married in November 2010 in Uzbekistan. He had to leave shortly after and she couldn’t come for another two years. When Ziyba finally arrived in March 2012, she really didn’t know what she was getting into. “In Uzbekistan you hear great things about the States but I didn’t have much information about Canada. I didn’t know it was beautiful.” She had never been on a ferry, gone camping, or learn how to swim. She went to Okanagan College to take English classes. “I was nervous about my accent. The environment at the college really helped me feel good about myself. The staff, the librarians, and teachers were always so positive. I felt like it was a cozy place there together with the other students. The ESL teachers were so nice and invited me to parties and potlucks. It was the first time I was at a baby shower. We don’t have baby showers in Uzbekistan.” Continued on next page

Swansea Point fun
Contributed by Lois Schurek “Christmas On The Point” was more than a special time for the kids with Santa and his missus; it was also a festive gathering of friends and neighbours, old and new. Fifteen children climbed into Santa’s sleigh to have their pictures taken with the big guy and Mrs. Claus. They decorated cookies, made Christmas ornaments, played games and enjoyed treats. Each child went home with a beautifully wrapped present, a gift bag and their own photo with Santa mounted in a Christmas card. Fifteen big kids in their firefighter uniforms also had photos taken with Santa, Mrs Claus and their partners. In total, nearly sixty of us, representing 25 local families, dropped by the fire hall to leave donations for the food bank and share this special time of year with our neighbours. Hopefully, this was just the first of many future holiday get-togethers in our community. Judging by the hubbub, we sure enjoy spending time this way. Special thanks to Santa and Mrs. Claus (Gord Parker and Dodie Thoms) and their awesome elves, Tricia Kennedy (organization and gift procurement), Janet McQuhae (sleigh designers) and Claude and Donna Debrule (builders extraordinaire and painter), Lois Schurek and junior elf, Michelle Stevens, (photography and personalized cards), Pam DeBoer (greeting and heart-warming) and all those who helped bring about this event.

A life in Canada (cont’d)
She joined the Gray Grebes Dragon Boating team. “I did paddling with them last summer and this summer also. They’re fun - I like them,” she says, smiling. “We used to go for coffee after and I liked that.” She loves the safety and freedom of Canada but she is homesick for a few things. The meat tastes different in Uzbekistan and she misses that taste, and they have a cream spread that is used on bread that she can’t get here. “I miss my mom’s cooking and my dad’s.” With much encouragement from her husband and friends, she went on
to get her Master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Administration from Gonzaga University through Thompson River University in Kamloops. That too, she says, was a wonderfully positive experience, as her teachers and peers helped her find confidence and to be optimistic about her future. “So I want to find a job which is related. I would like to work with people, maybe immigrants and refugees. As an immigrant myself I know the loneliness and homesickness at the beginning. It is difficult, but then it goes away.”

Notch Hill Town Hall Association Jill Goward Christmas can bring out the best in people, especially when it comes to throwing a party for local kids, which members of the Notch Hill Town Hall Association did on Saturday. There was so much happiness in the crowd of about sixty children aged from two months to nine years old, accompanied by their smiling parents. Between listening to the beautiful Neufeld Choir, singing carols with Marian Sheerstone at the piano or writing out wish cards for Santa’s wish tree, the hall was a festive sight indeed. There was face painting – courtesy of Sherry Damm, Quinn Kobayashi and Sydney Goward – Christmas crafts with stickers, magnets, cards and glue sticks galore; and of course, plenty of cupcakes, cookies, juice and treats. For fifteen minutes, the audience was entertained by Jan Parada enthusiastically telling a Christmas story as only she can. To top it all, Santa arrived in the Sorrento Fire Truck and burst into the hall to the cheers of the kids. Needless to say, every child received a gorgeous gift from him, all of which was made possible by generous donations from the following individuals and businesses: Grey Kyllo S.A.S.C.U. Mel Arnold Sportchek Angus Hauser Touch of Texas Mikki Lawrence Loonie-on-the-Lake Adrian Romyn Munroe’s Sorrento Pharmacy Bernie Gallant John Born De Milles Farm Market Sorrento Fire Dept. Save-on-Foods Toys R Us Shoppers’ Drug Mart T.O.P.S. Wal-Mart Sorrento Elementary School Askews Foods Volunteers and Friends of N.H.T.H.A. No Frills Foods Thank you all and my apologies if I have overlooked anyone. The Association very much appreciates your support.
Black Press The B.C. government has budgeted $3 million for a research project to explore the benefits of “parent coaching intervention” for infants and toddlers who show early signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder. The project will follow about 70 children and their families, selected by a committee from ACT-Autism Community Training, the Pacific Autism Family Centre (PAFC) and the Michal Smith Foundation for Health Research. The screening
process for subjects is expected to begin in early 2017. “Many families recognize that something may be wrong with their child’s development as young as one year of age, but they just don’t know what they can do to help,” said PAFC founder Wendy LisogarCocchia. “Parent coaching is one of those options that could change families’ lives.”

Offended by letter
Friday, December 11, 2015 - Lakeshore News A11
Letters to the Editor
I was offended by the letter entitled ‘A new oath for new citizens’ published in the Lakeshore News, December 4, 2015. The letter contains a bigoted and unsettling message. It was extremely alarming and disgusting to read that someone would believe that the King James Version of the Bible (or any version of the Bible), complete with a Christian based oath is an appropriate prerequisite for obtaining citizenship in a country blessed with diverse cultures and religions. Clearly the writer is suggesting that certain people not be allowed into this country based on whether or not they are Christian. Canada is made up of people who embrace the values of many religions including those who are atheists. If people are law abiding, they are all valued citizens with valid values. In my opinion, the author is exemplifying narrow-minded, chauvinistic thinking that has no place in our society. Bill Remphrey, Salmon Arm
Accountability starts now
Was there a maximum/minimum placed on any of Justin Trudeau’s annual Deficit Budgets planned for three years out of his four-year mandate? It appears I might have missed these numbers as the way I understand it, the voters have just given Mr. Trudeau three blank cheques and he will fill in the amounts. He has a majority government for four years, three of which, Justin has said, he will carry deficit budgets for three of the four years. Has anyone projected the actual budget amounts? B. Campbell, Sorrento
Prime Minister Trudeau exhibiting blatant hypocrisy
“Canada is back.” These were the words of PM Justin Trudeau. But as Andrew Coyne pointed out, Canada never went away. Better that Justin had said “the money-spending, money-stealing Liberals are back.” Case in point: Canada had to have over three hundred persons attend the climate conference in Paris. That was more than Britain, Australia and the USA combined! Did the media tell us how much that cost the taxpayers? I don’t think so. Did they tell us how many planes that required? I don’t think so. Did they tell us how many tonnes of CO2 was emitted into the atmosphere? I don’t think so. And that was just the beginning. Now there will be a meeting every year, or possibly every half year to hammer out the details. Apparently the emissions target is exactly what the Harper government had set. What blatant hypocrisy by the Trudeau government! The Trudeau government will cancel the Conservatives’ child tax credit as “parents don’t need it. In fact I will donate mine to a charity.” But ding the taxpayers for two nan-
nies for the Trudeaus. Did the Harpers charge the taxpayers for nannies? No. What blatant hypocrisy by the PM! Even though anyone with average intelligence knew that Trudeau’s goal to have 25,000 Syrian refugees in Canada before the end of the year was unattainable, he pledged he would do it. Now that is down to the 10,000 that the Harper government aimed for. Recent news reports tell us these are all privately sponsored, so the paper work was already done. This means that the Trudeau government will bring in none of their goal. What blatant hypocrisy by the PM! Trudeau is going to fix the senate situation by appointing a committee who will select potential senators. Do you expect they will recommend anyone other than those approved by Justin? Faulty as our senate system is, at least the appointees felt some responsibility to support the PM who appointed them. Now we will have 100 senators that are answerable to no one. We already have nine Supreme Court Justices who think it is their prerog-

Notch Hill kids’ party
Christmas can bring out the best in people, especially when it comes to throwing a party for local kids, which members of the Notch Hill Town Hall Association did on Saturday. There was so much happiness in the crowd of about sixty children aged from two months to nine years old, accompanied by their smiling parents. Between listening to the beautiful Neufeld Choir, singing carols with Marian Sheerstone at the piano or writing out wish cards for Santa’s wish tree, the hall was a festive sight indeed. There was face painting, courtesy of Sherry Damm, Quinn Kobayashi and Sydney Goward; Christmas crafts with stickers, magnets, cards and glue sticks galore; and of course, plenty of cupcakes, cookies, juice and treats. For fifteen minutes, the audience was entertained by Jan Parada enthusiastically telling a Christmas story as only she can. To top it all, Santa arrived in the Sorrento Fire Truck and burst into the hall to the cheers of the kids. Needless to say, every child received a gorgeous gift from him, all of which was made possible by generous donations from the individuals and businesses who helped us out. Thank you all – the association very much appreciates your support. Jill Goward, Notch Hill Town Hall Association
ative to make the laws for Canada. They will be supported by 100 senators who are grossly unrepresentative of the population of the provinces. But this misrepresentation will not be addressed by the Trudeau government. So we have PEI, with a population equivalent to Kelowna, with four senators; and BC, with a population of over four million, with six senators. That is Justin’s concept of fairness and inclusiveness. Premier Clark is right not to support this. More blatant hypocrisy by the Trudeau government! Minister Goodale, McCallum, and LeBlanc were all in the cabinet of the adscam previous Liberal government that funnelled millions of tax dollars into the Liberal coffers. Yet here they are right back in Cabinet. This is fairness and inclusiveness? Well, perhaps, since the crooks need a seat at the table as well. What blatant hypocrisy by PM Trudeau!

Black Press Free use permits to cut a Christmas tree on Crown land are available from forest district and FrontCounterBC offices in most areas of the province. Local district offices can identify areas of Crown where one tree may be legally cut for personal use. Permits are not available for the Chilliwack and South Island forest districts due to population density and tree demand. The ministry’s Christmas tree website at www. for.gov.bc.ca/mof/xmastrees.htm has links to offices that offer tree permits for designated areas, with online permits available in some regions. The website has links and phone numbers for FrontCounterBC and forest district offices. There is also a link to the B.C. Christmas Tree Council, which has a list of private tree farms around B.C. Once you have a Crown land permit, the ministry suggests leaving home prepared with ropes, gloves and tools. Choose a tree that can be cut near the base and is easily transported out, to minimize waste and debris that can be a fire hazard next summer.

Illegal cutting of mature hemlock and fir trees from local BC Parks has officials and community leadership concerned. On the eve of the historic signing of the Shuswap Regional Trails Strategy, others in the Shuswap had a very different intent last week when they drove a truck onto pedestrian trails in the Eagle River Nature Reserve managed by BC Parks and downed mature hemlock and fir trees, presumably as fire wood. Local community leadership is outraged. BC Parks officials have been notified confirming unauthorized removal of trees is an offense under the Park Act. Under current provincial legislation, illegal damage to critical habitat and protected areas are punishable with fines of up to $1,000,000 and jail time up to a year. Individuals considering cutting fire-

wood can legally do so by first contacting the Provincial Ministry of Forest Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “It’s just so unacceptable,” said Lori Schneider Wood, who oversees the Shuswap Trail Alliance stewardship program. “Many of us have invested long hours and funds to ensure natural spaces like the Eagle River Nature reserve remain very special places for people to experience. There is absolutely zero tolerance for this kind of destruction. Every time one person does something selfish like this it adds to the cumulative destruction of our parks and natural spaces. I can’t even start to suggest the long-term cost for the ecology, recreation, and tourism.” Evidence showed truck tracks driven into the nature reserve along dedicated foot trails and two mature trees fallen and bucked, presumably for fire wood. “There was probably about $1000 of fire wood there,” said local trail steward, Derrick Kucheran. Derrick runs Cedars Campground, which like many tourism businesses in the Malakwa area realize direct benefits from the attraction natural areas like those at Eagle River provide. BC Parks and Shuswap Trail Alliance
leadership have issued a region wide call for increased vigilance by residents, trail users, and stewards. “If you see any activity that seems unusual, report it,” says Schneider Wood, “especially tree cutting by unauthorized personnel within protected parks.” BC Parks officials recommend taking a cell phone photograph and sending it in with as much detail as you can, including license plate numbers. Report concerns, questions, and suspicious activity to RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) 1-877952-7277 (1-877-952RAPP), as well as sending a note to the Shuswap Trail Report at trailreport@ shuswaptrails.com. “We monitor all trail report submissions and send them on to the appropriate authorities,” says Schneider Wood with the Shuswap Trail Alliance, “and we can also mobilize local stewards and community leadership to assist.” Alternatively, individuals wanting to remain anonymous when making a report can use the Crime Stoppers tip line at 1-800-222-8477 (visit: w w w. k a m l o o p scrimestoppers.ca) To find out more about Shuswap trails and the Shuswap Trail Alliance stewardship program visit www. shuswaptrails.com.

New for the April 2016 Shuswap Music Festival is the discipline of “Speech Arts. Although many regional festivals include Speech Arts in their offering, this is a first for the Salmon Arm event. Richard Sim, a Director for the Shuswap Music Festival Society, is spearheading the discipline. The Royal Conservatory of Music describes Speech Arts as a study that “develops confidence and effective communication skills while training the speaking voice”. Youth study and develop an array of skills including public speaking, presentation skills, voice production, diction and articulation. “It is a perfect compliment to the current music festival,” states Sim, “and a great opportunity not only for school students but also for 4-H and other clubs.”
We have POOK & Hockey Sockey!

Edamame and soybeans
This green soybean gets high marks in our family for delicious entertainment. I grew twice as many edamame plants this year, and still find myself with only one small bag of frozen unhulled treasures left in the freezer and eight months to wait for the next harvest. Our grandchildren love popping them out of the shell as much as we love serving them as appetizers. Just a five-minute boil in water, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt, et voila, a meal that becomes playtime around the kitchen island for the little ones, while the adults can hang on to a conversation over a glass
of wine. The taste of fresh edamame is buttery sweet and non-GMO, unlike 90% of all soybeans produced in North America. Edamame beans are high in glutamate, thus tickling your taste buds safely and naturally. They have been around since 200 BC, and in Japan they are sold on the vine. I have never seen them sold fresh in the local super markets, but you can find them shelled and unshelled in the freezer section of most grocery stores. You can serve edamame as a side dish by sauteing them in olive or peanut oil with a crushed clove of
garlic. Add a splash of soya sauce and mash the buttery beans with a fork for a delicious dip. Stir in wasabi for more heat and add a touch of lemon and a teaspoon of chopped cilantro. A mere half a cup of edamame gives you 5 g of fibre, 10 g of protein and a good amount of vitamin K, manganese and folate. All this for 100 calories and zero cholesterol. Soybeans that are used primarily in cattle feed and in the making of soy milk are listed as a food that needs to be approached with caution. Infants fed soy formula take in an estimated five

Margaret Anne Roy April 27, 1951 – November 29, 2015 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Margaret Anne Roy at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC. Surrounded by family and friends, Margaret answered God’s calling and passed away with great peace and dignity on November 29, 2015, at the age of 64 years. Born April 27, 1951 in Tisdale, SK, she moved to BC with her family in 1967. She pursued many employment opportunities including millwork, hair-dressing, and hospital service. She completed her Licensed Practical Nurse training, which led her to a long career of patient care at Royal Inland Hospital. Throughout her life Margaret showed great commitment to helping others in her role as an LPN. Outside of work she was a travel enthusiast, and completed trips across the globe including Europe, South Africa, Hawaii, and Tahiti. In her quiet time, she enjoyed using her tremendous talent making needlepoint art, and she would not miss a gathering of family where she greatly enjoyed preparing the feast and sharing tales of life on the farm. The small-town girl with a huge heart will be missed by her mother Marie Francoise Roy of Salmon Arm, her many siblings, countless nieces and nephews, and her dear friends including Bette Ross of Kamloops. She was predeceased by her father Laurent Gerard Roy in 1987. Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, December 16, 2015 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Salmon Arm. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation in Kamloops, in recognition of the extraordinary care Margaret received while a patient. The family would also like to acknowledge Margaret’s family doctors, Dr. James Levins and Dr. Ada-Marie Steyn, for their excellent and compassionate care over many years of difficulty. “… Our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129.

IT’S TIME TO ADVERTISE
~ Soup Program ~
Work may seem overwhelming at times in the week ahead, Taurus. Keep your head down and stay focused on the tasks at hand. Others will be impressed. Gemini, make the most of an opportunity to move forward with your goals. You have plenty of energy, and your mind is focused. Hang around with like-minded individuals as well. Don’t get too wrapped up in other people’s business, Cancer. You don’t want to intrude on others, and your loved ones are fully capable of solving their own problems.
LEO
Leo, you may feel like you’re on top of the world this week. That’s because you have the potential to conquer an elusive goal in the next few days.
VIRGO
Act now, Virgo, or you might get left behind. You can’t sit around and wait for things to unfold. Sometimes you have to take charge, and this is one of those times.
