The party holds its annual general meeting in Richmond Feb. 20, where Brooks will officially step down.

Black Press The B.C. government’s quit-smoking assistance program is now available to people who drop by a pharmacy to qualify for free nicotine replacement products. As of Jan. 1, 2016, participants no longer have to register by calling 8-1-1 to reach the HealthLinkBC medical advice service. The program has also expanded its offerings to include nicotine inhalers and lozenges as well as gum and patches. Health Minister Terry Lake said the changes are to make it easier for smokers to quit, or to try again if they have relapsed after using the program before. It supplies 12 weeks’ worth of nicotine replacement products in each calendar year to B.C. residents. To qualify, people must have active Medical Services Plan coverage and be a tobacco smoker or chewer. The program began in 2011 and the province has spent $38 million on it so far. A survey of 3,000 users in 2015 found that about one in four reported quitting smoking for some period, with half of those making it a month or more smoke free. Three quarters of survey participants reported smoking less after using nicotine replacement. The program also covers 12 weeks of prescription drugs Zyban or Champix, with cost depending on coverage under the Pharmacare program. Details are available at www.gov.bc.ca/bcsmokingcessation or from your doctor.

familychiropractic COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC
by Dr. Warren Gage
How long should kids cough?
The fact that chiropractors are primary healthcare providers brings along with chiropractic care a lot of questions relating to general health and wellness issues. For children and adults, a common health challenge everyone faces at some point is a cough and cold. While nobody enjoys being knocked down fighting a cold; proper nutrition, rest, vitamin D and other immune supporting supplements can all help. When patients are fighting a cold, wellness chiropractors will often recommend extra adjustments in order to clear their nervous system of interference (subluxation), allowing it to properly direct the function of the immune system. Another reality is the majority of patients are usually a bit impatient. By the end of a week of a nagging cough, they will usually be starting to wonder if they need to go see their GP to get some antibiotics or stronger medications in case their illness is something more severe. This leads to a common source of conflict and confusion practitioners must deal with, which is the difference between patients’ expectations of recovery time from a cough, and the reality of what the research suggests is the average recovery time. A study published in the Annals of Family Medicine in 2013 titled How Long Does a Cough Last? Comparing Patients’ Expectations With Data From a Systematic Review of the Literature addressed this issue. Researchers looked at what they called Acute Cough Illness (ACI) and found it is one of the most common reasons patients seek medical care and request antibiotics. They also found most patients believe they should recover from an ACI within 5-7 days. The discrepancy is that research shows coughs last an average of 18 days.
The other fact is the majority of these cough illnesses are caused by viruses; thus, antibiotics have no beneficial effect. The researchers found that antibiotic prescribing for ACI’s is far too high, and probably occurs because of the discrepancy between patient expectations of recovery time and the reality of the time it takes for the body to clear up a cough. Even further supporting the patients’ belief system that antibiotics help, is the notion that if they start a week of medications at day 7, and the viral cough is naturally cleared up by the body’s defenses around 18 days, they will further conclude it must have been a bacterial infection and the antibiotics were required. When parents of our pediatric patients ask us if they need to be especially worried about the cough that just doesn’t seem to be clearing up after a few weeks, I am sure to explain this research relating to recovery timelines. I also reassure my patients that the body is an expert at healing itself if it is given the correct nutrition, environment, rest and hydration. When fever presents it should not be feared, but monitored closely. Fever is Nature’s way of “cooking” the bugs associated with cough/colds/flu. Reducing a fever with medication is only necessary if it persists and exceeds 104 degrees Fahrenheit (it is then that you should seek medical attention). Otherwise, allow the fever to run. The best course of action is to allow your child’s body to build natural immunity to the bugs that are constantly surrounding us. Dr. Warren Gage at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic has a special interest in pregnancy and pediatrics and can be reached at (250) 8030224.

Byelections set
By Tom Fletcher Black Press Byelections will be held Feb. 2 to fill two B.C. legislature seats left vacant after MLAs ran in the recent federal election. Former VancouverMount Pleasant MLA Jenny Kwan resigned her provincial seat July 8 and was elected MP in the NDP stronghold of Vancouver East in the Oct. 19 election. Former B.C. Liberal MLA Doug Horne gave up his CoquitlamBurke Mountain seat on Aug. 14 to run for the Conservatives, and lost the federal seat of Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam to Liberal Ron McKinnon. With the two vacancies, the B.C. Liberals hold 48 seats and the B.C. NDP 33, with two independents, Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington and Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Andrew Weaver, leader of the B.C. Green Party. B.C. NDP members have nominated Jodie Wickens, executive director of the Autism Support Network, to run in CoquitlamBurke Mountain. Melanie Mark, who has worked in the office of the

tasted the sweetest, but yielded the most juice. The “navel” in the sweetest orange was much larger as well. You will be pleased to know that we use the whole orange in our Flax and Cran-apple Crisps – peel, pith, juice, and membranes. Who can afford to discard the most nutritious part of the oranges in times of an almost 40% US exchange surcharge? The peel harbours the essential oils that boost our immunity and relieve stress, while the soft white inner part of the peel provides us with the greatest amount of phytonutrients. For this reason alone, we should always drink orange juice with the pulp. I made my green smoothie this morning with a whole orange and half a lemon (also with peel). I softened the citrus blow with a banana, and then added half a carrot, ginger, turmeric, some kale,
December is harvest time for tree-ripened navel oranges! Remember our Christmas orange in the stocking? The common practice today is to pick green oranges, store them in temperature-controlled warehouses, and pump in ethylene gas to ripen the fruit and colour them orange. The orange will look ripe, but the flesh of the orange will be more acidic and lack some of the 165 super nutrients that scientists have discovered. It just so happened that a 40 pound box of organic oranges arrived in our Okanagan Rawsome kitchen this morning, so we decided to do the recommended protocol to find the best-tasting orange. Organic growers are not allowed to gas their produce, so we can assume that our oranges have not been sitting in a warehouse since September. Our findings? The largest oranges showing the richest hue, inside and out, not only

spinach, and water. It was potent, to say the least! Just imagine the taste test between a Bud Light and a stout Crannog Ale. Blood oranges, popular in the Mediterranean get the highest marks for licopene, anthocyanins and vitamin C content. Second prize goes to Tangelos (marked with the classical bump on the blossom side) with Cara Cara (available from December to April) and Valencias (peak season May to July) following close behind. Why not try your hand at drying the peels and grinding them for the best addition ever to your muffins or smoothies? I make some chocolate wafers sometimes and sprinkle these with orange zest and coarse salt.

ORANGE AND RED ONION SALAD Jamie Oliver suggests this salad as a side to a ham or sausage dinner for the carnivores amongst us. • 5 oranges • 1 red onion, thinly sliced • 1 bunch of flat leave parsley • A fresh grind of coarse sea salt • Chunks of goat cheese or bocconcini (Just so you know, bocconcini is part cow and part water buffalo milk; or at least that is how it used to be made. The question bears asking, “How does one milk a water buffalo”?) Slice the oranges cross-wise, resembling wheels. Please do not mess with the membranes like top notch chefs might do–treat your guests to the extra fibre instead. Save some of the orange juice on your cutting board for a last minute drizzle. Add the parsley and onion slices. Garnish with your favourite soft cheese. I might try a blue cheese. A drizzle of balsamic fig reduction on the side with curls of orange zest are sure to elevate your chef status in the house! Serve at room temperature.

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR’S ARE OVER SO LET’S GET BACK ON SCHEDULE I wrote three columns in the week that ended Dec. 18. One every few days as required by Lakeshore News’ deadlines, then I had three weeks off. I flew Pacific Coastal Airlines from Kelowna to Victoria for Christmas festivities, spent three full days with my family, and flew back December 27 to very deep snow in the airport’s parking lot. Had trouble finding my car. Drove 60 to 80 km/hr all the way to Vernon, then 80 to 100 to Salmon Arm. MARTINA’S CLASSIC BARBER SHOPPE OPEN TILL 5-5:30 I have a correction: The five women who cut hair at Martina’s Classic Barber Shoppe on Hudson Avenue work from 8:30 to 5 or longer and not till 3 as I had in last week’s column. It is open six days a week in winter, seven in summer. Saturday’s hours are 8 to 3 or longer. The shop has been in downtown Salmon Arm over 22 years. It has a website and is on Facebook. On the latter it welcomes new staff, one who has a specialty in hair tattooing, and introduces colours at $5 per colour strand. MENNONITE SINGERS AT PICCADILLY On Sat., Dec 19, 14 young people from the Salmon Arm Mennonite Church, seven men and seven women, sang Christmas songs for half an hour in the centre of Piccadilly Mall. All a cappella and with excellent diction. The church was established in Salmon Arm in 2004 and has attracted people from all across Canada. The church on Salmon River Road is its second location, in the former sheltered workshop area. It has added Salmon Arm Christian School for grades one to 10. SOUNDS & TASTES OF CHRISTMAS AT PRESBYTERIAN On Mon., Dec. 21, an evening of music and Christmas sing-along was presented at the Presbyterian Church by Les Ellenor, Andrew Stoney and Richard Good. Christmas cheer was provided courtesy of Askew’s Foods downtown. A song that was new to most of us was led by Richard. Called My Grown-Up Christmas List, it was written by Victoria’s David Foster. He wrote it to Santa even though David is no longer a child, but his heart can still dream. This is the chorus: No more lives torn apart, Then wars would never start, And time would heal all hearts And everyone would have a friend, And right would always win, And love would never end. This is my grown-up Christmas list. MARY & JOSEPH, THE HOLY FAMILY, WERE POLITICAL REFUGEES Christian churches and images of the events around Jesus’ birth are influenced by carols, nativity scenes and cards. Most of the story, with the stable, shepherds, angels, and magi seem well-known. Less well-known is that Jesus and Mary were political refugees. Bishop James Cowan, who is the minister of Anglican churches in Armstong, Enderby and Salmon Arm, wrote the ministerial column in the Dec. 17 issue of an Okanagan publication that he titled: “Out of Egypt have I called my Son.” He wrote that the Christmas story begins
as a governmental injustice and quoted from two gospels… a decree by the Roman Emperor to go for a census of peoples in a territory under military occupation; and Joseph is told to take the mother and child to Egypt to preserve the child’s life. I scanned the ministerial column and will send it to you. Just ask: sallys1@telus.net. THIS IS UKRAINIAN CHRISTMAS When Ukrainians came to Canada, they brought their customs. One was that Christmas was celebrated on Jan. 6 and would last three days, Jan. 6, 7 and 8, according to the Julian calendar. I wish to thank Joan and Chris for hosting a traditional Christmas dinner for 12 of us on the afternoon of Jan. 6. Protestants and Eastern Orthodox countries continued to use the traditional Julian calendar which started after Jesus’ birth. After 1582, many adopted the Gregorian reform for setting the date for Easter and for the convenience in international trade. WAS HE UKRAINIAN? NO, HE WAS HUNGARIAN I missed my people when I went to be a nurse in Dawson City, Yukon in March 1960. I had been raised amongst Ukrainians near Watson, Sask, and I trained for three years in Yorkton that was 60 per cent Ukrainian. When gold mining began near Dawson in the summers, many Hungarian men were hired to do hard work for the Yukon Consolidated Gold Corporation. They had escaped the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 when over 2,500 men were killed and 200,000 Hungarians fled, some to Canada. When they had injuries in Dawson they were admitted to St. Mary’s Hospital where I worked. They had European names which excited me and I asked if they were Ukrainian. Through their pain they said “I Hungarrrian.” FREE CHRISTMAS TREE CHIPPING, 2016 Columbia Shuswap Regional District will accept Christmas trees at all landfills and transfer stations until Jan. 15 during regular operating hours. Trees should be free of tinsel and ornaments. For more info, call CSRD at 250-832-8194, 1-800-663-4425 or www.csrd.bc.ca. FLY HILLS SNOWMOBILE CLUB FUNDRAISER The Shuswap has seven riding areas according to a snowmobile trail map produced by Shuswap Tourism at the regional district: info@csrd.bc.ca. It has a new map of the Fly Hills that shows 200 km of trails and is just 10 minutes west of downtown Salmon Arm. Trails are managed by the Salmon Arm Snow Blazers and are well mapped and have ample signage. Maps are available at Shuswap Tourism, Trail Collection and at the chalet. There is a nominal fee for using the trails, payable at the main chalet or with the Trail Collector at the parking lot. Day fees are free for members and $15 for non-members. Memberships are $80 primary and $60 secondary, which is under 17 or over 65. Memberships are available online at sasnowblazers.com or at one of the sponsors: Shuswap Xtreme or Trademark Glass. Memberships are imperative for the operation and maintenance of the chalet and groomer. Sponsorships are a good way to advertise a business and contribute to the community. Sandy Milne and Linda Rollier, directors of sasnowblazers.com, were busy at an information table at a Silverbacks game in mid-December. If you have questions, write to them at salmonarmsnowblazers@gmail.
com. They were promoting the Sat. Jan. 23 moonlight poker run, and the Feb. 20 fundraiser at the curling rink featuring the band ShoeSwap. A ladies’ ride mountain tour is TBA. WATCH SILVERBACKS PLAY NEXT WEEK There is excellent hockey in Shaw Centre when Silverbacks are playing. I enjoy the games very much. They remind me of the time I played hockey in the country school and in Dawson City, where we had three girls’ teams. Vernon plays Silverbacks next Friday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. in Shaw Centre. The following evening, Jan. 16, West Kelowna plays here at 7 p.m. Tickets at Askew’s are $8. Buy by phone and pay with your charge card, then just walk into the arena. Adult $12, Senior $10 (61+), kids $5 (up to age 18). Silverbacks: 250-832-3856 EARTHQUAKE OFF SIDNEY ON VANC. ISLAND The earthquake late on Dec. 29 with a magnitude of 4.3 was located about 50 kilometres under southern Vancouver Island and could be felt across British Columbia’s southern coast. A dog began barking before the 11:40 p.m. earthquake, and a surveillance camera caught a baby being wakened in its crib. Two hundred and fifty 911 calls were made within 15 minutes of the quake. The most frequent question was: “What should I be doing?” Do not call 911 unless it is for police, ambulance or fire. ARMSTRONG HAS A HOUSE WARMING IN REFUGEE HOUSE BEFORE IT’S OCCUPIED Many volunteers worked to get the house in Armstrong ready for a refugee family. Ron Brinnen wrote: When our family arrives the house will become their private residence so now is the time for a house warming. Let’s get together and celebrate what we’ve achieved as a community!” The house warming will be on Sat., Jan. 9 from 1 to 3 p.m. Bring leftover Christmas baking to share, plus cutlery, dishes and cups that you will need. Absolutely no one wants to do dishes later! Slippers or indoor shoes. HAVE YOU MADE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS? January is the month for new beginnings. We make resolutions, but they are often broken before month end. Son-number-one and I reviewed the goals we set a year ago. Some were achieved, others were not. Then we made new ones for 2016 and hope we will reach all of them. One is for my sons to come here for my birthday in April. Goodness gracious, I will be much closer to 80! WILL QUEBEC’S ASSISTED-DYING LAW TURN IT INTO A EUTHANASIA DESTINATION? Quebec’s Court of Appeal overturned the Supreme Court of Canada ruling into delaying the dying-with-dignity law because the federal Criminal Code provisions are invalid. Quebec will begin assisted-dying on Feb. 1. Its law outlines how physicians will help patients with an incurable condition and intolerable physical or psychological suffering to die. Will Quebec become like some European countries that allow foreigners to come there to die, making them euthanasia tourist destinations? 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.

Slippery roads this week
On the evening of Monday, January 4, a truck full of seafood went off the highway at the hole 9 fairway (Coyote Ridge) at Club Shuswap. Paramedics saw to the
driver, but his condition is unknown at press time. Another truck jackknifed further up the road, closing the highway for some time. Photo contributed.
Vernon SPCA dogs need surgery
Girlie and Dash, two dogs at the Vernon SPCA, need the public’s help to brighten their holidays. The canine pair came into the care of the BC SPCA Vernon & District Branch recently, after the closure of an animal rescue organization in the area. Both need expensive medical treatment. Dash, an energetic, one-anda-half-year-old German shepherd cross, was suffering from a bad flea infestation, flea dermatitis and a severe ear infection, while Girlie, an 11-yearold Chihuahua cross, has a long list of medical issues, including dental disease, a bladder infection, flea dermatitis and mammary tumours that require removal. “Dash is super happy all the time, a real high-energy boy, and Girlie is a real sweetheart – she’ll greet us
with a wagging tail and is quiet and friendly, despite all of her medical issues,” says Chelsea Taylor, Vernon & District Branch manager. “We just want to see these two have another chance at healthier, happier lives in loving, forever homes. That would be the best Christmas present ever!” Medical costs for both dogs are expected to be nearly $2,000. A non-profit organization, the BC SPCA relies primarily on public donations to carry out its life-saving work helping the province’s most vulnerable animals. If you can help Girlie and Dash, donate online at spca.bc.ca/vernon or in person at 4800 Haney Rd., Vernon.
Telus gives to Second Harvest
The Second Harvest food bank received a $3,000 donation from Telus on December 23, 2015. This money was raised through the Telus Fibre for Good program – by partnering with local charitable organizations, residents who sign up for Optik TV on the Fibre Optic net-
work were able to select a participating organization to receive a $25 grant on their behalf, courtesy of Telus. Diana Mangold of Second Harvest is pictured with Paul Andrews of Telus. Photo contributed.
A lot of the usual suspects were waiting at the door Monday morning with their answers to the annual Mall Arkey Christmas contest. As you know, the only way to collect the prize is to show up at our office the first Monday after the New Year. I guess I made it too easy as all four of them had answered the 25 questions correctly. Usually there are one or two clues that stump even the best puzzlers. Next year I will have to do a better job and make it tougher. Marie was first in line to claim the $50 prize, slightly ahead of Julie (last year’s winner), Clara (5-time champ) and Renate. For those who are curious, here are the answers: CRANKY BAR KID (Back Yard Rink) ENCLAVED ART DAN (Advent Calendar) GLANCERS OR IS (Carol Singers) CURRENCY ABEARS (Cranberry Sauce) BARGING REED (Gingerbread) PHOSPHATING LIN GET (Late Night Shopping) TOILETS EM (Mistletoe) REWEAVE YENS (New Years Eve) FLANK SEW SO (Snowflakes) DEVOUR ELT ST (Turtle Doves) PAWING PREP RAP (Wrapping Paper) AVION CAT (Vacation) UNTETHER DEER (Under the Tree) DISTAIN ROT (Traditions) KNAVERY DUTY RAG (Turkey and Gravy) LANDFORCE DRAP RUN (Rudolf and Prancer) UNCHARITY GONE (Naughty or Nice) NUMBSKULL ANY REAR (Mall Arkey Sunburn) DECAY CANNS (Candy Canes) SPRUG LUMAS (Sugar Plums) VERSATILE (Relatives) TRECK UN CAR (Nutcracker) GREENSTONES IS SAG (Seasons Greetings) FAUCET IRK (Fruit Cake) FULL CAP MOO (Lump of Coal) Hopefully the 2015 edition made earn your turkey dinner!

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT cinemaphile by Emily Garrett
James White
The Shuswap Film Society is back in full swing and we have a terrific line-up for you in this New Year! A young man in his late twenties, unemployed and living on his mother’s couch in the frenzy of New York City, James White (Christopher Abbott) is a self-indulgent, self-destructive deadbeat who is finally forced to face up to the realities he has spent his life avoiding while his mother (Cynthia Nixon) continues her battle with a serious illness. As the pressure of
responsibility on him mounts, James must find new reserves of strength or risk alienating his loved ones and imploding completely. Everything about James White is intense, from the intimate cinematography, to the immersive sound design, to the palpable atmosphere of urban claustrophobia that envelops the film’s main characters. This film is full of humour, anger and tenderness. James White shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 9th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.
Everyone has stories to tell and this will be the place to do just that. It’s all about telling a good story, entertaining others and having fun. Participants will be encouraged to write a story and present it orally. The stories presented will be up to five minutes and feedback is
optional. There are no dues and everyone is welcome. Each meeting will have a storyteller boss to introduce speakers and keep the meeting moving along. If this is for you please call Estelle at 250-5466186.
Storytellers’ Club
Hone your writing skills
If you are a writer in the Shuswap, there is a chair at the library with your name on it — and it’s free. It doesn’t matter if you’re a famous author or a closet writer. All you need is to want to improve your writing skills and be willing to help other writers improve theirs, and the chair is yours for two hours on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month. This is an open invitation from The Third House in collaboration with The Okanagan Regional Library for you to attend the start-up of a New Writers’ group. Meetings will be held twice a month from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the South Shuswap branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. The first meeting will be held on January 13th; bring with you a page or two of your own writing and a notebook with pen or pencil. Why would you want to join a writers’ group? Because a writers’ group is a support group, a.k.a. a cheering squad for writers that provides you with honest feedback, so you can get better. A writers’ group can play a crucial role for any writer whether you are a publishing author, an unknown poet or you are simply trying to write your memoirs for your offspring. A writers’ group is a place where, if and when you are ready, you take your courage in hand and you stand up to read some of your work. The others will offer feedback — some of the comments you will ignore but much of it will be intelligent and helpful. The other members will see your writing from a new perspective. This is so valuable. A writers’ group is also a place where you pay attention to the writing of others
and give them your feedback. If it’s good writing it can challenge and inspire your own. It’s a safe and supportive place to come to hone your writing skills. For further information, visit www.thethirdhouse.ca. The Third House Interactive Multimedia is a very small group, two artists actually — Peter Blacklock and Joyce Adrian Sotski — whose statement of purpose is to ‘enhance opportunities for creative artists in the Shuswap.’ Our projects, which you can read about on our website, include Ida and Old Baldy’s Seniors’ Theatre Project, The Perigean Project, Reader-Writer Sessions, a Photography Workshop, and now the upstart of a New Writers’ Group in the South Shuswap.

New Orleans Suspects to grace Roots & Blues
Every major music city has an all-star project band, or bands, and one of the finest in one of the great music Mecca’s of the world is the New Orleans Suspects who came together six years ago in the Big Easy. What was considered at the outset a, part-time, good-time project, quickly became a full time endeavour as Neville Brothers drummer “Mean” Willie Green, Radiators bassist Reggie Scanlon, Dirty Dozen Brass Band lead guitarist Jake Eckert, pianist/organist CR Gruver, and sax ace and long-time leader of James Brown Band Jeff Watkins, clicked on so many levels that audiences and promoters were demanding more gigs and requesting recordings, of which the Suspects now have three. To borrow a quote from Chicago Sun-Times music columnist Jeff Elbel from earlier in 2015, “the diverse histories of its members are impressive, but the infectious sound of the New Orleans Suspects exceeds the sum of its notable parts.” “It’s an odd combination of backgrounds,” says veteran James Brown saxophonist Jeff Watkins, “but we’ve honed it into our own voice.” “We reflect every place we’ve been,” says bassist Reggie Scanlan, whose résumé includes work with Crescent City staples like Professor
Longhair, James Booker and Earl King. “Jeff had twelve years with James. You can’t leave that behind.” As its name might imply, the band sometimes nods to hometown heroes, including Dr. John and the Meters. Equally important are soul giants like Wilson Pickett, James Brown, and
Sam & Dave, as well as roots-based rockers Little Feat and The Band. Look for the New Orleans Suspects to be on site at the 2106 edition of Roots and Blues for two days, Saturday August 20 and Sunday August 21. Roots & Blues will also be announcing a couple of legends in roots-rock who will be joining the Suspects for a few shows that are guaranteed to be filled with instrumental fireworks and built on the songwriting of one of the greatest songbooks of the last fifty years!

Letters to the Editor
Canadians able to solve problems
In the January 1st, 2016 issue of the Lakeshore News, B. Campbell wrote a letter complaining that “$billions will be pumped into bringing…immigrants into Canada while our homeless wander the streets with no hope from this… government.” I am glad to see B. Campbell showing concern for homelessness. The reason the current federal government is facilitating the immigration of Syrian refugees is because they understand that many Canadians want them to do that and have shown their interest in helping these victims of violent
conflict by offering to sponsor them. Christian churches, Jewish synagogues and individual citizens have shown their compassion for the needs of the Syrians by gathering money to sponsor and support them when they arrive in Canada. Many Canadians are generous and will do what they can to help those in need when they see an opportunity to do so. One of those ways is donating to charitable and non-profit organizations that focus on providing help to those in need. Not all Canadians are able to donate very much, but even those
Fund sources not clear
Most of my life I’ve worked ramrodding crews, and as a lead hand, what I always did was do more than anybody else. I found that that worked best: setting a good example for the rest of the people working for me. I think that the same holds true for most people. If you want someone else to act in a certain way, you have to show that you act that way, and even that you do more than what you expect anyone else to do. It’s just “clear thinking and common sense.” It therefore comes as a surprise to me to discover that one of your readers, in a reaction to the Liberal government withdrawing the “First Nations Financial Transparency Act,” is contributing money to the Canadian Taxpayer Federation (CTF), a federally incorporated non-profit organization (that means they don’t pay taxes on income), which claims to have some 84,000 supporters. The reason this surprises me is that the CTF, which, as a Conservative front organization, apparently was part of the fight to force public disclosure of all First Nations financial
activities, has never been willing to disclose its own financial activities to anyone outside of the six members of its board, one of whom was (prior to his election to Parliament) Stephen Harper. In fact, since Mr. Harper reports his net worth at some 5 million dollars and the only other jobs he ever held were as mail boy in the Standard Oil Calgary office and economics lecturer at the University of Calgary, it is reasonable that we assume that most of his wealth came from his being on the board of the CTF. Nice job if you can get it. He most certainly didn’t make $5 million after taxes as mail boy or as a lecturer in economics. I am willing to bet dollars to donuts that the same can be said for other Conservative non-profit organizations such as the Fraser Institute. They won’t tell you where the money comes from, or where it goes. How does this constitute setting a good example for others? This is like the Conservative commitment to open government: They wanted others to be open, just not themselves. Richard Smiley, Anglemont
with little will often do what they can. For example, those who are concerned about homelessness, such as B. Campbell, can write a letter to the prime minister, express their concerns and ask him to provide leadership in taking actions to address them. Canada is a wealthy country. We can solve the problems. We can let our government know which matters we want them to spend the available money on. That’s essentially what Canadians did during the last election campaign. Janet Pattinson, Sorrento
Canada needs immigrants for its economy
[Response to “Appalled at Liberals” by B. Campbell, January 1, 2016] I find it curious that B. Campbell seems to misunderstand how money gets transferred to Aboriginal communities. This money is not necessarily “taxpayers’ money,” it is wealth generated through resource extraction, commercial activity, tourism etc. on aboriginal land and is transferred back to the native communities. It has to be applied for in the form of a budget each year. The
government knows beforehand how much they get. The fact that they are expected to disclose how they spend this money is interesting. Large amounts of moneys are transferred annually to oil companies, mining companies etc. in the form of subsidies, but there is no accountability as to how they spend it. Is it for exploration and infrastructure or does some go to executive bonuses? The second issue is the “Muslim immigrants” being brought into Canada. Not all of these people are

for naught in many situations such as regulations surrounding the lake, various septic issues and animal control. Perhaps we need to ask the CSRD to either enforce the rules or abandon them as some are now just a rule written down somewhere. It appears taxpayer money might have been wasted in many cases and violations continue with little effort being made to control the things that were once considered important enough for the CSRD to pass them into law. No one wants a lot of rules to govern their lives, but in some cases they were thought necessary by well-meaning people who worked hard on developing them and putting them

CSRD bylaws a waste of our money?
Throughout the Columbia Shuswap Regional District many committees and sub-committees have been formed as a result of need for controls. Many hard-working and dedicated individuals on these committees have given of their time and made significant effort to bring the various bylaws into being. It was determined there was a need to implement the bylaws. The CSRD hired more people, purchased more equipment and have expanded their facilities to accommodate the increase in local government in our lives. Your taxes have increased to pay for this. All of the effort and hard work by the committees may have been
$5-10 billion to our economy over the next ten years. Also they will produce 3.6 jobs to the work force for each immigrant. I agree that the homeless who wander our streets must be looked after, but refusing immigrants will not solve the problems of the mentally ill and the unemployable. Ed Campbell, Salmon Arm
Muslims and not all are being subsidize by “taxpayers.” Canada needs these people. As our population ages we need young workers to take up the slack that birthrates will not support. These people are not fleeing poverty. They are, for the most part, middle class educated professionals and business people who need a fresh start. It is estimated that the refugees coming this year will contribute some
into place. Many violators simply ignore them. To contact those in authority seems to be bothersome and those doing so are labelled as troublemakers or a burden by many, including CSRD officials. I suggest we either enforce the bylaws or abandon them, as in their present state, they serve no purpose and are a waste of your money and mine. B. Campbell, Sorrento

Letters to the Editor Unplowed roads can impact senior care
[To MLA Greg Kyllo] I am writing about my concern for seniors that receive in-homecare in the winter months. My friend, who works for Interior Health, is an in-home care aide. She lives with us and most of her clients are in the Sorrento, Eagle Bay, Blind Bay, and Tappen areas. She was unable to go to work recently because our entire road had been blocked by the plowing of snow on the connecting road. Since then, she has reported that she, as well as many of her co-workers, have had to cancel clients’ care because their
access roads have been blocked by a snow berm, or not plowed at all. I have spoken to the road contractor, JPW and to Mr. Gouch, the area manager of roads, about this problem. In my opinion, there are several reasons for this problem. Not enough plow trucks, poorly trained employees, and a lack of oversight by the government. Last winter a plow truck got stuck on our road. When my husband went to investigate, he found that the driver did not know how to put the necessary chains on his truck. The only reason the neighbourhood roads were
plowed that day is because my husband knew how to do the drivers job. When I spoke to JPW, they told me that the quality of their services was inspected on a regular basis by the office of Mr. Gouch. He informed me that nobody had been out to check on their work during the last major snowfall, and that he was surprised that JPW had appeared to put the onus on his office for their work quality. As you may recall from our last meeting, I am a senior advocate. I have spoken to the Senior Advocates office on many occasions. Isobel is currently focusing her attention on the expansion of in-home care. Expanding this service will keep more seniors at home longer, which will help with the shortage of available facility beds, and save a huge amount of tax payers dollars. I supported this plan until I became aware of the problem of accessing seniors homes in the winter months. If this plan is implemented, many many more seniors will be relying on the gov. to provide them with essential services in their homes. And not being able to provide that service could result in pain, medical complications, fear, and even death. Try to imagine how alone and afraid you would feel if you were a 90-yearold diabetic, living alone, waiting for a care aide to give you the help that is necessary, and they don’t come. Daily accessibility to these seniors is critical! I am asking you to talk to JPW about their inadequate services and poorly trained staff. I am asking you to talk to Mr. Gouch about a lack of oversight. I am asking you to talk to the Minister in charge of road maintenance and find out if this problem is due to a lack of funding, oversight, or enforced accountability. And I am asking you to present this problem in the spring legislative assembly. If this government is going to expand in-home care, they must also implement the necessary changes to accommodate that service to ensure the safety of our seniors. I would like to suggest allocating a percentage of the money saved to better winter road maintenance. Thank you for your time and hopefully, your attention. Judy Galley, Sorrento

I spent 50 years in the newspaper business as a reporter, editor, and publisher at weeklies and dailies in all four western provinces. Throughout my career I witnessed up close the disconnect between aboriginal people and the non-native society. Becoming familiar with aboriginal history, culture and traditions will surely go a long way in helping to bridge the disconnect. There has been mistrust, anger, suspicion, frustration and fear from both sides toward the other. Positive steps are being taken to narrow the gap but much more needs to be done. For too long the aboriginal community has been stereotyped by negative stories carried in newspapers, TV, and social media. The stories often focus on protests, confrontations, alcohol and drug abuse, financial scandals, fires, gun violence, murders, thefts, assaults, and missing persons on First Nations’ reserves. Other disturbing stories include poverty, unemployment, poor drinking water, dilapidated housing, terrible roads, lack of educational opportunities, truancy, child runaways, etc. But it hasn’t all been negative. There are many aboriginal success stories. Among them: pow wows, rodeo cowboys, accomplished athletes, cont’d on page 14

Jade fever
The date was December 15th, 1879, when American engineer and contractor Andrew Onderdonk signed an agreement with Ottawa to construct a rail line for the CPR up through the Fraser Canyon section. For this amazing, arduous task, he needed much labour. In the years from 1881 to 1884, 15,000 Chinese labourers arrived. In 1882, 10 sailing ships brought 6,500 men from the Guangdong and Fujian provinces. Onderdonk then built 1,200 log cabins for them. The pay was 80 cents to $1.00 per day, working in miserable conditions and poor food. 600 hundred died of work-related accidents. Hundreds more perished in the camps. Unbeknown to the white workers, the Chinese found boulders of jade along the Thompson River and canyon. These were sent back to China, tied in jute sacks. As time progressed, we go to 1975, west of Spence’s Bridge to Shaw Springs. Bill and Lea Shaw had a gift shop, where Bill dug up jade boulders from the Thompson. These were liver, tan, and green in colour. As a sign man for the Merritt highways district, Bill (a big man with a violent temper) and I tangled horns a few times over signs he had placed alongside the highway that didn’t conform to standard signing. We now go to Enderby, in the spring of 1998. Early morning enforcement patrols to the Lower Shuswap River found me in Eva’s Folly cafe (now Hungry Jack’s) for a quick breakfast, where I met Roy Munson, a big jovial dude with quite a history. He’d had a large ranch at Fort St. John, but lost it in a marriage dispute. This found him at Watson Lake, where he and a Native man went prospecting. Miles north of the town, they followed a creek up a large mountain. Here they found a deposit of gold at the headwaters. Reaching the top, they spotted cliffs of green shining rock. This proved to be a large high-grade jade deposit. Leaving the area, they got turned around, and it took three days to get back and down to the Alaska highway. Roy then returned and staked claims, but never returned to get the gold. Not having the means to protect and really work the jade claims, he was out of luck when other miners then heard of the deposit. Soon speculators and claim jumpers in helicopters flew to the site with darker intentions. Jade was sawn and flown out in large chunks and quantities. After struggling for two years to raise capital to mine the jade commercially, Roy sold the claims to a Japanese man and his son. Mining of the large jade deposit began in earnest with big equipment and a helicopter. Roy then moved to Falkland, and I missed his tales of mystery and mayhem of the north country. For all we know the gold still remains to this day in that unknown stream out of Watson Lake, unless Roy’s partner went back to retrieve it.

shuswapoutdoors by Hank Shelley This brings us to the Discovery Channel’s reality series, “Jade Fever.” In the Cassiar area of northern BC, Chinese investors, along with the person who’d found a large jade deposit years before (as well as his daughter and her husband) are shown with large, portable diamond-tipped saws and water, cutting up giant boulders of high-grade jade. Many claims cover the high plateau country there. Too, gold mining placer claims cover the area and beyond. With the expansion and ongoing aggressive development of the wilderness industry, with large camps, excavators, cats, loaders, and helicopters, I’m sure it had a detrimental effect on travel corridors, migration routes, food, habitat of caribou, goats, sheep, and moose that inhabit the landscape. However, the environmental effects are not mentioned in such series, as we enjoy the sequences and become further detached from Mother Nature, her animals and wildlife, the fauna; seeing only the minerals and wealth that Man seeks! Here and there in the Shuswap Chinese and Taiwan investment in mining, land, resources, and agriculture is becoming big business in BC. The story above shows how aggressive and intelligent these investors are. Information I received recently says that the Chinese have purchased 5 and 10 thousand acre parcels of bushland for 5 million dollars near Fort St. James, and will be bringing in heavy equipment, including a brand new D-8 Cat, to clear land and import 1,600 head of cattle. Wildlife: Deer cull – authorities will be using coloured ear tags for up to 80 urban deer to be relocated from Elkford, Cranbrook, Kimberley, and Invermere, to wilderness winter range settings away from town. Either traps or darts will be used to capture the deer. Twenty of the adult does with their young will be fitted with satellite collars to help monitor their movements, including the deer’s ability to defend themselves against predators. My take on this, is that unfortunately the deer have lost fear, and will be easy prey for cougars, wolves, and coyotes. Limited Entry Hunting: Starting this year, all LEH applications will now be applied for online. Your hunter number will be replaced with a Wildlife ID. Hunters with an existing number will be assigned a FWID number. Fishing: With colder weather, ice fishing looks promising on local lakes soon. Tight lines and straight shootin’!
Letters to the Editor Change our attitudes
Cont’d from page 12 entrepreneurs, business ventures, artists, lawyers, judges, journalists, musicians, craft makers, politicians, etc. To improve the relationship between aboriginal people and non-natives, attitudes need to change. Perry Bellgarde, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, called in June 2015 for people to “make room in your hearts and minds and
your spirits. Rid yourself of those racial stereotypes of Indians and indigenous people being dumb and lazy and drunk on welfare. Rid yourself of those things, so new things can come in.” Chief Bellegarde made the statement in response to the final report and recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The challenge is ours to take. Clay Stacey, Kelowna

A fresh start to a new year
Staring at a blank page before typing the first word for my column reminded me of what I love about New Years: a clean slate and a fresh start. Okay, so the slate of life can’t be completely clean when we begin a new year, I know that. But it can be tidied up so the fresh start is stronger. That’s where the beauty of resolution lists come in. They help un-clutter our minds from all the things we want to do and organize them accordingly. Yet this is where ugliness can also occur when we fail with our lists, even those with only one thing on it. I’ve always taken this time of year very seriously. My obsession to setting goals and trying to improve has me doing what most people want to do: get rid of my bad addictions and habits that are holding me back. But what’s going to happen if I don’t?

OnaBrighterNote
Our propensity as a society is to grumble about the pressures of New Years resolutions and surrender to the belief that we usually fail so why bother with them at all. Of course the alternative to that is to remember that it’s not perfection that creates our dreams, it’s persistence. So you’ve started smoking again or you’ve gone off your diet already - so what? Falling off the wagon is just part of life. Get up, dust yourself off and jump back on again. A few years ago I had the word “perseverance” tattooed on my forearm. I look at it often and it reminds me to keep going and stay the course. It also reminds me to pick a nicer font with a thinner needle and double check the spelling the next time I decide to mark my body with permanent ink. 2015 was a tough year for a lot of people
by Lori Welbourne I know, myself included. That old saying that we learn more from our failures than our successes has me believing I’m far wiser than I once was. But I’m ready to learn less and succeed more in the year 2016 and I wish that for all of you as well. The other thing I was sadly reminded of this past year is how precious life is and how short it can be - another reason not to beat ourselves up for failing to be perfect. Happy New Year and good luck with whatever goals you set, and remember that our fresh starts can start at any moment we choose. As long as we’re living, there are no limits to how many times we can re-set our fresh start button. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist. She can be contacted at LoriWelbourne. com

Lorraine Ethel Killick October 1, 1924 - December 22, 2015 Lorraine joined her late husband of 50 years, Cyril Leslie Killick, in Heaven on December 22, 2015. Lorraine passed away peacefully at Hillside Village, Salmon Arm, BC. Lorraine was predeceased by her husband Cyril in February 1994 and is survived by her son Bruce, daughter Karen, daughter-inlaw Brenda, son-in-law Mathew, grandchildren: Abra, Adam, Jacob, Tyler, Cindy, Elaine, and several great grandchildren. Lorraine was born in Portland, Oregon to Canadian parents Anne Ethel and Albert Edward Balmer where her father was training to become a chiropractor. Upon returning to New Westminster, BC, the family was soon faced with the great depression. The family moved to Calgary, her father found work as a machinist. A return to the deep family routes in New Westminster occurred in the early 1930’s. Lorraine excelled in school. She also learned to play the piano, taught by her mother. Her gift for the love of music remained a big part of her life, both teaching her skills to many children throughout her life and in her love to play and perform in a truly beautiful and giving way. In the early 1940’s Lorraine and Cyril met. Truly love at first sight. With World War II underway, Cyril enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force. They were married in Winnipeg on March 27, 1943. Cyril left shortly thereafter for Europe. Lorraine returned to BC where she secured employment as a stenographer for the Prudential Insurance Company. After starting a family, Lorraine returned to the work force in the mid 1950’s. She was employed by Canada Safeway in their head office in New Westminster. Following a very busy career with Safeway, she became a stenographer in the Coquitlam School District, a career that spanned over 30 years, working in many schools in the District. She was always involved in helping the children grow by giving of her musical and other creative talents. In her time away from work, Lorraine’s creativity and gift for designing beautiful things flourished, including her amazing culinary skills. She was truly a gifted and self-taught person that excelled in living life. She shared these talents in a loving way with so many people. Lorraine and Cyril loved to create beauty and enjoyed the outdoors by decorating their home, discovering new hiking trails, and boating the Gulf Islands. Lorraine and Cyril retired in the late 1980’s and shortly thereafter moved to the Shuswap where their son, his wife, and their children had relocated in the early 80’s. Lorraine continued to help young people grow by teaching piano lessons. Her passion for living, giving, and loving others truly stood out in amazing ways.

Ronald Edward Eggleston It is with the deepest sadness from the depth of our hearts that we regret the passing of Ronald Edward Eggleston in the Prince George Hospital on December 18, 2015. Ronald Edward Eggleston was born in Luscar, Alberta on March 7, 1928, later growing up and residing in British Columbia. He spent a number of years in the army and worked in the lumber industry all of his life. He loved animals and curling, baseball and his family. When he was younger he loved fishing, hunting, and travelling. Living in the North Country of Dawson Creek, Fort Nelson, and Prince George, Ron always wanted to fly south and eventually he did, living in Salmon Arm and Oliver and then headed back up north where he spent the last 12 years of his life in Chetwynd, BC.
Robert Burrows “Bob” Miller Robert Burrows Miller died peacefully at home in Salmon Arm, BC on Monday, December 21, 2015 after a long, graceful battle with numerous complications resulting from a stroke 12 years ago. He was 87 years old. Bob is missed and dearly loved by Sara (Sally), his wife of 45 years; children, Leanne (Don) Kennedy, Shelley Kenney, Rod (Brenda), Scott (Debbie), and Miles (Adeline), who all made him a proud granddad of 12 and great granddad of 4; sister Marjory (Bill) Hanley, brother Don (Doreen), and their families. He was predeceased by Margaret, the mother of his children, his dear son James, and young grandson Shawn. Born in 1928 to Ken and Alice Miller and raised in Alberta’s prairie heartland near Carmangay, Bob’s education took him from a one-room schoolhouse to the University of Alberta and the Southern Institute of Technology. His entire career was spent in Calgary with Imperial Oil/Esso, starting in 1950 as an exploration draftsman and retiring in 1984 as an executive in the Systems and Information Services Department. Bob and Sally soon moved to family-owned land in Eagle Bay on Shuswap Lake, BC, living in the cottage while Bob built their retirement home on the same property. They spent many happy years there, very much involved in the community until moving into Salmon Arm. Friends are invited to join the family to celebrate Bob Miller’s life on Sunday, May 22 at 2:00 pm at the Eagle Bay Hall, 4326 Eagle Bay Road on Shuswap Lake, BC. Online condolences may be sent through Bob’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

Sinks, pork, lamps, and turkey
Dear Reena, We have a seven-year-old Sil Granite sink. Its colour has really faded. Before it was a very matte black, now it is a very faded black with white smears and streaks. We used a colour enhancer product provided when I bought the sink. I have used two bottles of that which has not helped. Any chance you have a gem of an idea to get the smears off and somewhat of the colour back? Damien Dear Damien, Your best bet is to wipe the sink with cooking or olive oil after use; this will remove all of the stains, repel water from sitting on the sink and forming white stains and brighten the sink. Dear Reena, I would like to prepare my own rub for meat. Can you give me an easy recipe that I can use on pork? Heidi Dear Heidi, Here is an easy recipe which is perfect for about 6 pounds of meat. Into a bowl combine one quarter cup sugar, 4 tbsp. black pepper, one tbsp. salt, one quarter cup paprika, 2 tsp. dry mustard and 2 tsp. cayenne pepper. Rub half of the mixture onto meat 12 hours prior to cooking. Rub the other half on right before cooking. Dear Reena, I so enjoy reading your column. We have a water stain on our popcorn ceiling and were told to try Kilz overhead stain sealer. Now we have a yellow discolouration on top of the stain! Any suggestions? Wendy Dear Wendy, Kilz is a popular brand name but there are many products under this name; from Flat Wall and Ceiling Paint to Color Changing Ceiling Paint to Paint with Stain Blocking. You may need to prime the area before painting the ceiling but your best bet is to explain your situation to your paint specialist and seek advice. Or contact the Kilz website and query which product is best for your situation. Dear Reena, How do I go about fixing my yellowed microwave door–help! Jen Dear Jen, This may be a permanent condition but don’t give up without a fight! Spread toothpaste onto the yellowed area. Dampen the brush with water and scrub with an old toothbrush. Rinse with water and wipe.
Solutions&Substitutions
By Reena Nerbas Dear Reena, I have always read your column with interest and have used many of your helpful hints. I hope you can help me with this problem. I presently have a set of lamps given to me by my late parents. They have a glass base and I wonder if they can be painted as we have changed our decor/ colours. If so, what type of paint might be used? Thank you! O. Dear O, Yes, you can absolutely paint the glass base! Begin by unplugging the lamp and cleaning the base well with plain old dish soap and water. Dry and cover any electrical wires. Spray on heatproof paint in the colour of your choice. Dear Reena, Why do people deep fry turkeys instead of baking them? I was given a deep fryer specifically for this purpose but I haven’t used it. Is it worth the effort? Nana Dear Nana, I have a friend that heads down to the US every November for American Thanksgiving just because her dad deep-fries the turkey. She says it is the best way to prepare turkey and nothing beats the flavour. Deep-frying turkey is a Cajun tradition that produces juicy meat and crispy skin; many people agree it is out of this world. Fabulous Tips of the Week! Why throw out empty toilet paper rolls when you can use them to store messy electrical cords? Wind the cord and place it inside the tube. Some people even decorate the tube with wall or shelf paper. Never let your toilet paper run away from the roll again. Either squeeze the roll in half before placing it on the toilet paper holder (great if you own an RV). Or position the roll so that the paper hangs under the roll instead of over top. Note: Every user assumes all risks of injury or damage resulting from the implementation of any suggestions in this column. Test all products on an inconspicuous area first. I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming. Need a presenter on the topic: Effective Speaking or The Power of Words? Check out Reena.ca.
