‘Pickup’ a good book...
The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap, in partnership with Salmon Arm GM, is once again running the Jam the GM campaign, where donations of new or gently-used kids’ books are accepted in the back of a GM pickup. Book donations are accepted at the Salmon Arm GM dealership throughout the month of January and at Piccadilly Mall in the GM vehicle in front of the library during Unplug and Play Family Literacy Week (January 23 to January 30, 2016). The truck will also be at the Sicamous Eagles game on Friday, January 15 and the Salmon Arm Silverbacks game on Saturday, January 16 to collect book donations. Inset: Tye Major and Olivia Worton, both 4 years old, hold books that have been donated for Jam the GM. Sky Stevens photos. Look for the truck inside the mall, by the library!

Is the party over? year in 2016. The Federal Reserve boosted interest rates for the first time in nine years, while the Eurozone, in contrast, offered greater monetary easing; and oil prices continued to slide 12%, ending the year down 36%. These factors, in part, have prompted most major outlets to call for a lackluster year in most equity markets, the U.S. in particular. JP Morgan notes
that in 2015, a standard balanced portfolio of 50/50 developed market stocks and longer-term government bonds would have delivered a small negative return of -1%. The same portfolio in 2014 would have delivered a total return of roughly 9%. In 2016, JP Morgan expects the same hypothetical basket will deliver somewhere in between those two figures. I personally think JP Morgan is viewing things through rose-tinted glasses and is out of touch with reality and market fundamentals – 2016 will not be a good year. The S&P index, what most people refer to as “the market,” has been in a bull market for a record 83 months and counting! In comparison, average bull markets last roughly 45 months. Of more concern
Hydro, ICBC, MSP fees going up this year “regressive tax” that would be part of a broad review of B.C. taxation fairness if he wins the 2017 election. The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation says the people who benefit from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s promised middle-class tax cut will see most of those savings eaten up by provincial and municipal tax increases. Trudeau vowed to reduce the federal income tax bracket between $45,282 and $90,563 from 22 per cent to 20.5 per cent, and increase the rate for income over $200,000 from 29 to 33 per cent. The change would provide up to $2,000 in tax relief for middle-income earners, with dual-income house-
holds benefiting most, CTF federal director Aaron Wudrick says. Municipal taxes are expected to increase across the province in 2016, with local councils preparing to set budgets for the new fiscal year that starts April 1. Port Alberni has proposed a seven per cent increase, and the CTF says it hasn’t found any B.C. municipalities yet that propose to freeze or lower property tax rates. With the rapid rise in property prices continuing in parts of the Lower Mainland, the B.C. Assessment Authority sent out 37,000 letters in December, warning single-family homeowners to brace for a big jump in their assessed value.
by Jeffrey Mushaluk however, was the market breadth in 2015 where there were far more companies down than up. Had it not been for the FAANG group: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google, 2015 would have been a down year. These select five companies, due to their market weighted size, propped up the indices last year but that has changed through the first week of 2016. U.S. stocks are off to their worst start in history. Five trading days into the year and the S&P is down -6.0% while the Dow is down -6.2%. So it appears that the party is over as the Federal Reserve starts its voyage into interest rate normalization, or so we are told. Regardless of monetary policy, don’t expect 2016 to be a good year in capital markets. The market is grossly overvalued and overloved, which is normally a recipe for a significant correction. The Canadian market is now officially in bear territory, dropping by more than -20% since oil peaked in 2014.

That works out to an increase of $3.70 per month added for the average driver. ICBC had proposed a 6.7 per cent increase to cover increasing costs of personal injury claims and fraud, but the province gave it permission for a one-time transfer of $450 million from its optional insurance business to subsidize the basic rate.

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press Medical Services Plan premiums, electricity bills and vehicle insurance rates are up in 2016, reviving criticism of the B.C. government’s constant boast about keeping taxes low. MSP premiums are up from $144 to $150 as of Jan. 1, for a family of three earning more than $30,000 a year. For a single person in the same income group, the rate goes from $72 to $75, with lower rates for lower incomes down to $22,000 a year, where premiums drop to zero. B.C. is now the only province in Canada with a health care fee, and it has risen about 40 per cent since 2010. Premier Christy Clark has defended the fee as a signal to citizens about the enormous cost of providing health care. BC Hydro rates have been politically dictated since Clark and Energy Minister Bill Bennett intervened to cap rate increases in 2013. Hydro rates jumped nine per cent in 2014, followed by annual increases of six, four, 3.5 and three per cent in the 10-year rate plan. Starting with the proposed four per cent increase in 2016, the independent B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) is reviewing if rate increases can be lower than what is

Later, we learned that the person who paid the tab was a former Grade 4 student of our friend, and had paid not only for him and his wife, whom he knew, but also for us.

Personalized cancer treatment
By Tom Fletcher, Black Press The B.C. government is investing an extra $3 million to expand a program that tailors cancer treatment to the genetic makeup of individual patients. The B.C. Cancer Agency is ramping up its Personalized OncoGenomics (POG) project after seeing encouraging results, including reversal of some cancers thought to be all but untreatable. Researchers cautioned that the technique isn’t a cure for cancer, but it has been effective in identifying drugs that can reduce a life-threatening condition to a manageable chronic illness. Dr. Janessa Laskin, the cancer specialist in charge of the POG
program, said three quarters of the oncologists in B.C. are now participating in the program, selecting and referring patients from all over the province. The technique is “the future of oncology,” and the goal is to keep expanding it until every cancer patient can be assessed, Laskin said. Premier Christy Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake announced the additional funds at the B.C. Cancer Agency in Vancouver Tuesday. Clark said the intent is to increase funding further in the coming years for a program that is attracting international interest and financial support. The agency highlighted patients helped by the technique. A

41-year-old non-smoker, Jennifer Strack described her shock at being diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer 18 months ago. Strack underwent five rounds of conventional chemotherapy with little effect, as tumours grew in her lungs and spread to her liver. The POG program identified one drug that was not effective, but Strack began taking another one that halted the growth and reduced the tumours. Laskin said the genetic testing identifies drugs that would otherwise never be considered. Zuri Scrivens was treated at age 33 for breast cancer, and when it reappeared two years later she was enrolled in the POG program. Her cancer went into remission after a diabetes drug was used in combination with a breast cancer drug. Since clinical trials began in 2012, more than 350 patients with 50 different types of cancer have had their genetic material studied in the program. With private donations through the B.C. Cancer Foundation, the new government funds and international grant support, the target for POG is to enrol 2,000 patients in the next five years.

Workplace stress
My job as a chiropractor is what I would consider to be my “dream job.” I get to help people along a journey to recovering their health and wellness and through that time frequently get the honour to witness all kinds of healing miracles. Unfortunately for a number of my patients, when it comes to jobs and employment, workplaces can be extremely stressful places to spend their days. Whether one is in their dream job or not, all workplaces involve varying amounts of stress because all jobs involve a certain amount of personal responsibility. Unless you don’t care about keeping that your job, most employees try their best to fulfill their responsibilities; and that can result in stress. When a portion of work involves a deadline, even when it is an enjoyable task it can become stressful. Stress can also show up in the workplace from a financial aspect because your employment is usually your main source of income. Financial pressures outside of work can cause real or imagined fear of losing that source of income. Add in challenging interactions with coworkers or customers at work, and the emotional stress can easily become overwhelming. Can this stress lead to serious health problems? A recent literature review out of Harvard Business School suggests that workplace stress can actually be deadly. They analyzed 228 studies and found that simply having “job insecurity” will increase the odds of reporting health problems by 50%. High job demands increase the risk of your GP diagnosing an illness by 35%, and long hours at work can increase mortality by 20%! The above numbers are alarming on their own, and when one adds all other stresses outside of the workplace it can be disastrous. So, with the significant risks mentioned above, it is extremely important workers be constantly aware of stress and consciously work on reducing it. Working with your co-workers to find ways to reduce or ideally prevent stressful issues from arising is also imperative. Finally, if there are stressful issues arising at work that are out of your control, speak to management sooner than later to get some help to improve your situation. Chiropractic care reduces the effects of stress on your spine, nervous system and health. Dr. Warren Gage is available at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic and can be reached at (250) 8030224.

Dog food 101
With so many brands and types of dog food available at the supermarket, pet store, and veterinarian’s office, it’s hard to decipher what, precisely, is the difference between them all and how to select the best option for your pet. Good nutrition is imperative to your pet’s general health. Good puppy formulas are designed to help your puppy grow cognitively and physically by having a higher protein, fat, calcium, and omega 3 fatty acid content than adult foods. Dogs over the age of 7 should be fed a formula that reflects the dietary requirements of a senior dog. Generally, mature dogs are less active and therefore require less fat than younger dogs. Mature formulas might also include omega 3 fatty acids and glucosamine to support joint health and reduce inflammation and might be formulated to decrease tartar buildup and promote dental health. In general, the quality of dog food really is reflected in the price. Economical brands will feature ingredients that have little to no nutritional value to your dog. “Meat meal” can be obtained from any source of meat and its nutritional value is therefore questionable: look instead for specifically-named meats (“chicken”, “lamb”, “fish”). By-product meal is not necessarily a ‘bad’ ingredient, as many ingredients that are considered by-products (such as liver) are actually very nutri-

ent-rich and high in vitamins, but “chicken by-product meal” is a lower value ingredient then “chicken” or “chicken meal”. Carbohydrates from cereal grains (corn, rice, barley, wheat, oats) are a great source of energy for your dog and provide dry kibble with its structure and texture. However, not all carbohydrates are created equal–look for the words “ground” and “meal” and avoid “mill run.” Fibre keeps your dog satiated, aids in digestion, and supports colon

and offer no nutritional value. Sugars— such as corn syrup—are addicting to dogs (just as they are to humans), offer no value, and should be avoided. Once you have determined a good choice of food for your dog, you should work with your veterinarian to decide how much of the food your dog requires to maintain a healthy weight. A good starting point is to reference the information provided on most dog food bags, taking into account your dog’s personal level of activity (a sedentary dog will require far fewer calories per day then a very active dog). Puppies will need to be fed four times a day when they are first weaned and gradually reduced to two meals. Adult dogs should be fed in two meals. Remember, too, that dry food should be stored in an airtight container or in the bag if it has a zipper seal. Generally, dry food should be eaten within a few months—it can also be frozen. Wet food should be stored in the refrigerator once opened and eaten within a week. Inform yourself about the dietary requirements of your pet by talking with your veterinarian; he/she will be able to take into account your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and medical history to help determine what type of food is most important for your pet.

PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE BEING PLANNED Fundraising is halfway to the $15,000 needed to hire a consultant to do a feasibility study for a performing arts centre in Salmon Arm. Jake Jacobson, president of the board, wrote that the next phase will be a revised business concept to reflect the possibility of the Performing Arts Centre being located on part of the city’s portion of the old J. L. Jackson site. Some board members had to step down in 2015. There is still a quorum, but if you would like to be a board member, contact Jake at jakejacobson@telus.net or 250832-2300. SMALL TRUCKING FIRM IN SALMON ARM In December I bought a reconditioned fridge from Erickson’s Appliances & Repair and asked Peter to deliver it to my place. He said he no longer delivers but he uses a local trucking firm. I said I didn’t know there was one. He showed me the poster for V&C Courier and said I probably know the owner. He runs the Greyhound Bus Depot. I called 250-832-0727 and got Warren Keen at the bus depot. He was very busy with Christmas parcels coming and going, but said he would pick up the fridge that afternoon and leave it in the van till the next day. The next morning he phoned, and five minutes later he delivered it himself between buses. His business card says V&C Courier is agent for Greyhound Courier Express and is owned by Warren and Cheryl Keen. Very efficient delivery. ERICKSON’S APPLIANCES SCALING DOWN Peter Erickson services older appliances, and makes house calls. His shop is at 603 3rd Ave. SW, not far from the west entrance to Centenoka, and it is full of parts. Reconditioned washers, dryers, stoves and fridges have a three-month warranty, but I found they last forever. When I had his fridge delivered to my place before Christmas, I noticed the fridge that had been in my kitchen had a sticker price written in black felt pen at the back, with his business card. It was purchased from his place too. Son-number-two bought it from Peter on November 20, 2003 for $275. I bought the newer, larger one on December 21, 2015 for $235. Imagine! CAN THE LOCAL SPCA HAVE VISITATION TIMES? The Cat Café in Vancouver had to close for a few days because it ran out of cats. All but two were adopted. The SPCA received more from the north and the café opened again. It is booked 16 weeks in advance. The remodeled SPCA in Salmon Arm’s industrial park has some cats in cages in the reception room. Is it possible to have visitation for two hours several days a week, and have a charge that includes refreshments? TIRED OF TECHNOLOGY? This Christmas season probably had more people playing with their gadgets and iPhones than any previous year. When the holiday was over, they might have realized that conversations with people were missing. The human contact is so important. Voice and touch. MARITAL BREAKUPS HAPPEN IN JANUARY December and January are the months when most marital breakups happen, according to a television broadcast. Women usually initiate them. An estimated 20 to 30 per cent more breakups will take place this month, as emo-
tional payoff. Women have done their entertaining and they are not going to put another unhappy year into the family. POPE GREGORY INVENTED GREGORIAN CALENDAR Eugene Stefaniuk, a retired Ukrainian Orthodox priest who lived in Salmon Arm years ago and now lives in Vernon, was quick to correct my information about Julian and Gregorian calendars. He wrote: “The Julian Calendar did not start after Jesus’ birth but decades BEFORE His birth by Julius Caesar and that is why it is called Julian after Caesar’s name. In 1582-3 Pope Gregory invented the calendar that is used world wide today for business etc. There are no protestants using the Julian calendar, all use the Gregorian. Even the Ukrainain Catholics celebrate their Christmas according to the Gregorian calendar with the exception of maybe the older, OLDER Ukrainian Catholics that stay with the Julian Calendar.” IT’S TIME FOR PARENTS TO GROW UP The next Maclean’s magazine will have an article titled “The collapse of parenting: Why it’s time for parents to grow up.” The author says if anyone can be called the boss in modern, anti-hierarchical parenthood, it’s the children. From the time my 50-ish children were young, it was determined that five-year-olds determine what is placed in a shopping cart. Their shopping list is made from television commercials. S. A. SILVERBACKS 4, WENATCHEE WILD 0 While three Silverbacks players sat out the game in Wenatchee on Jan. 8th serving two-game suspensions for being involved in a multiple fight situation in a previous game, three “affiliated players” from Revelstoke, Kamloops, and Surrey (players on teams in lower divisions who aspire to play higher up) helped the Silverbacks win big in Wenatchee. Congratulations to AP Aaron Aragon for scoring one of the Silverbacks’ goals and being named the game’s Third Star and especially to the Silverbacks goalie Angus Redmond for being named both the Fortis Energy Player of the Game and the game’s First Star. HEAD COACH HEADS WEST Congratulations to Silverbacks’ head coach Brandon West for being selected head coach for Team West at the 2016 Canadian Junior Hockey League’s Prospects Game in Surrey on Jan. 26 against Team East. Brandon is in his fourth season with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks and has been head coach since the start of the 2014-15 season. This year, the Silverbacks sit second in the Interior Division behind Penticton, one of the top three hockey teams across Canada. Since taking over as the head coach, Brandon has a winning percentage of over 0.600. CROSS-COUNTRY SKIERS COME TO THE LOPPET Tomorrow, January 16, 2016, hundreds of cross-country skiers will come to the Larch Hills for the 32nd annual Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet. The Larch Hills Ski Club hosted the very first ‘Larch Hills Marathon’ in January, 1985. The loppet name was changed in 1987 to honour and remember Reino Keski-Salmi, a founding member of the ski club and an international cross-country ski champion. He died in a helicopter crash during the summer of 1985 while working with a forest fire-fighting crew. SHUSWAP TRAILS DANCE PARTY & AUCTION A large annual party will take place in a month to cele-
brate a new decade of Shuswap Trails.

On Facebook, look for Armstrong Spallumcheen Refugee Community Committee. REFUGEES IN CANADA MAY TOP 50,000 Canada could double its intake of Syrian refugees this year, said Canada’s minister of immigration and citizenship John McCallum. It was after he was in the Jordanian capital of Amman recently and said Canada’s resettlement program for Syrian refugees could double its intake to 50,000. Canada’s new Liberal government is pushing forward with its pledge to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of February. The minister said Canada hopes to settle 35,000 to 50,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2016 with the UN refugee agency, the Jordanian government and the International Organization for Migration assisting with the vetting process. SASKATCHEWAN PREMIER DECLARES 2016 AS THE YEAR OF THE IMMIGRANTS “Settlers from Ukraine helped build our province.” - Premier Brad Wall The premier has announced that 2016 will be the year of Saskatchewan immigrants. The province is celebrating the 125th anniversary of the first wave of Ukrainian immigrants to Canada. He said: “Ukrainian culture and traditions are deeply embedded in the Saskatchewan mosaic.” It is one of the largest ethnic communities in Canada, having 1.3 million people of Ukrainian origin today. CANADA SENDS AMBULANCES TO UKRAINE In August, 2015, four Saskatchewan ambulances were sent to transport war wounded in Ukraine during Russian military and paramilitary incursions into eastern Ukraine. The project and fundraising had been in the works for three years. In January, 2016, Manitoba is sending three refurbished ambulances to Ukraine as a humanitarian aid to the people in Donbas, Ukraine, suffering from the Russian aggression. They were unveiled by Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger at a news conference outside the legislative building. 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.

Mall Arkey Coaching 101
Over the holidays I got to watch my nephews play some hockey. One of my nephews lives and plays in Salmon Arm, and I have two others that live and play in Chilliwack. In both cases, they are younger than my boys and just starting out in their hockey careers. With my boys having played or currently playing rep hockey; it’s always a treat to go watch the “little guys” again and reminisce about when my kids were that young. In both cases, my brothers-in-law are helping coach and it also reminded me of all the things I used to have to deal with when coaching that age group. So if you have a five- or six-yearold son or daughter and you are considering coaching, here is a list of minimum requirements. You need to be a doctor/nurse. Not a game will go by where you don’t attend to someone’s “Owee.” Sometimes it’s the feet, sometimes a hand, perhaps even a head. Most “Owees” don’t need the first aid kit; just a little TLC. You need to be a heating expert. It is important to know how to keep the kids warm when playing in old arenas (ie. Sicamous or Enderby). Examples are blowing on their hands or rubbing their hands. A friend of mine once brought a stainless steel thermos of hot water to the bench that the kids took turns holding in order to stay warm. There is nothing worse than ten frozen kids on the bench waiting for their chance to get on the ice; so be prepared. You need to be a referee/traffic cop. When I say referee, I mean on the ice and off the ice. Off the ice can mean in the change room or on the bench or in the hall or pretty much anywhere. Most often the fights start because of someone “budging” in front of someone. Remember, in their minds they
want to be first in line to shake hands, first on or off the bench and first to finish their water. The real challenge is trying to convince them they need to be first to the puck or first to pass! You need to be a counselor. “Coach! A kid on the other team stuck his tongue out at me!” “Coach! Number 15 told me ‘bad game’ when we shook hands.” “Coach! That boy knocked me down.” These are the things you hear on the bench every game. You might even have to counsel a child after they score on their own goalie. This happened to my youngest once. He was so excited to score a goal and was beaming until he was told he had scored on his own team. You need to be a circus performer. You have to be able to make the kids laugh and juggle all at the same time. Juggling means fixing equipment, dispersing water from water bottles, tightening skates, loosening skates, cheering, telling jokes, jumping up and down to get Mom/Dad’s attention because someone needs to go to the bathroom, wiping tears, wiping noses and even waking kids up. The hard part is there are times that you need to do all of these things at the same time. So are you ready to coach?! Did you make the grade? I know it seems overwhelming, but the rewards are just too good to pass up. Give it a shot! Finally, for those parents and coaches whose kids are older; the best advice I can give is take the time to go watch some five- and six-year-olds again. It’ll remind you to keep things in perspective when you see these little ones smiling from ear to ear and more interested in waving at their Mom or Dad than making sure they are scoring a goal.
For the last two years, CP rail has donated 10 Holiday Train tickets to MLA Greg Kyllo and his riding association. They sold them to constituents who wanted to ride the train from Sicamous to Notch Hills, and then donated the money to the food banks of Sicamous, Salmon Arm and Sorrento. Kyllo’s Shuswap Riding President, Brian Cowan (right), presents $800 to David Byers, Community Services Coordinator with the Salvation Army New Hope Community Church. $400 was presented to the Sicamous Food Bank and $400 is going to the Sorrento Food Bank. Greg intends to continue this tradition every year that CP rail is generous enough to donate tickets. Photos contributed.

Who’s the boss?
We need to understand who the boss is in this tenuous partnership that is the decorator and her subject. (In case you are wondering, that’s you and your house. Or room, or whatever.) The boss decides the colour scheme, has a whole lot to say about the style of the room and is, I fear, far too often ignored. The boss yells; sometimes very loudly. Almost anyone who doesn’t live with it can usually recognize the boss right away. But you, all close up and personal, think you can just ignore it. And you can, you know that. At your decorating peril. The great big river rock fireplace in the corner of the family room. (I mean, what were they thinking when they had that thing built?) And the rocks are grey and green, and you HATE green. Or the picture window that is four feet off centre on the wall. The outside of the house is balanced, the window in the living room is off because of the stairwell at the end of the house. Or the orange wood floor. Or, for that matter, the orangey wood kitchen cabinets that himself has said you can paint, ‘over my dead body.’ A thought. Or the gigantic sectional sofa in the family room which is not going anywhere. It had to be dismantled to get the thing in. It’s staying. Or the quilt on the bed that is too precious to pack away but is in colours you loved ten years ago. And now you covet that off-white room, but there is that quilt. (Or the wood feature wall. It yells almost louder than the quilt.) Or the oversized painting you did when you were in your maudlin purple phase, and which now feels like part of your being; to lose it would be like losing an arm. You know that I’m a firm believer in decorat-

ing to suit you and your family. I urge you to break the rules and to do what you want. But I’ve also said that you should know how to work within the rules are before break them. You should be really clear about how to follow the rule before you break it. It’s like baking a fancy schmancy cake from a very detailed recipe. You need to make it according to the recipe until you really understand how it works. Then you can start changing it. If you don’t do it this way chances are really good the cake will be a mess. Decorating is the same way. I’ll find some examples of the ramifications of ignoring the boss and put them on the website Designsewlutions.ca.
Coldest Night
Come down on February 20th, 2016 to walk for the homeless and hungry in this community. The Coldest Night of the Year Fundraiser helps the Lighthouse Shelter and the Salvation Army and Second Harvest Food Banks. You can be a part by going to www.coldestnightoftheyear.org and joining a team or becoming a team captain (your business can have a team even with one walker!). This year there are prizes for the top fundraisers–Curves punch cards, tickets to the Salmar Theatre, and Silverbacks tickets! You also get a toque, free coffee or hot chocolate at Starbucks and a free hot meal the night of the walk.
A new face for the Legion
On Sunday, January 24, Sheila Bibby will become the first female president of the Salmon Arm Legion Branch 62. She has been on the executive and has helped out at events, but she is looking forward to her new role. “I would like to see more activities happening here and have more people involved. Volunteers are welcome,” she says with a strong emphasis. Sheila has a lot of ideas and all of them include boosting up the volunteer base: “If we have quite a number of volunteers, we can do things like a bingo, a games day, entertainment, lunch once a week, breakfasts...We need to sustain the Legion.” She says not everyone realizes that the public can come to Legion; it’s not just for members. “If a non-member comes in, we will sign them in.” Mondays are crib nights, and Tuesdays evenings are all about darts. At the shuffleboard fun tournaments on Thursdays it’s a battle of the sexes with the girls verses the guys, and there is a meat draw on Saturdays. But pool, shuffleboard, and darts
friends&neighbours by Leah Blain are available on a daily basis. Sheila is serious about increasing the revenues for the Legion because she has seen first-hand what good the funds do. She has known veterans who have had financial help to ensure they can live in comfort when they have serious medical needs. “And veterans’ programs pay for things like the Meals on Wheels or house-cleaning and yard maintenance for their widows – isn’t that great?” The Legion gives bursaries to the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of veterans. They also donate to the Salvation Army Food Bank, the Women’s Shelter, Shuswap Hospice, Children’s Emergency Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes, as well as the Veterans’ Assistance Society. The money goes to good causes, but she understands how valuable the Legion is to many people as a place of friendship. It’s early on a Friday afternoon. There are a number of people sitting around

relaxing and visiting while several musicians have gathered in a circle and are jamming near the dartboards. A few people are at the pool tables and the barbecue is ready because it’s the first Friday of the month and that means it’s Burger and Beer night. Everyone who walks in the door is greeted by a chorus of ‘hellos’. “It’s very friendly here,” Sheila observes, “It’s a social club....It feels like family.” That’s kind of the way she feels about Canada. Born in the state of Washington, Sheila came to Canada when she was 19, settling here permanently in 1974. What does she love about this country? “Absolutely everything,” she says with a smile and her infectious laugh. For 20 years she worked with Seniors’ Mental Health and for the last eight years she and her husband, Jack, have been caretakers at BC Elks Children’s Camp in Canoe. For Sheila, her installation as Legion President means she will have to look to the future in order to remember the past. “A lot of people laid down their lives so we can live the in freedom we live today and I respect that. The Legion was established to remember those who laid down their lives and I would like to make sure we keep it going.” Everyone is invited to the installation that takes place on Sunday, January 24 at 1 p.m. at the Legion.

Salmon Arm Silverbacks general manager Troy Mick announced recently that the team has traded forward Mitch Newsome to the Coquitlam Express for future considerations. The team also announced they have acquired forward Mitch Skapski from the Chilliwack Chiefs for future considerations. “Mitch Newsome is a very good hockey player in the BCHL and this trade will help him get more ice time for the rest of this year” says GM Troy Mick. “We are really deep this year up front and Mitch will now get an opportunity to really show what he can do.” In acquiring the 5’10 180 lbs forward Skapski the Backs will be getting a gritty hard nosed player who has WHL experience. “Mitch is a player who can put points up and is a leader on and off the ice and we wanted to address our grit factor up front going into the 2nd half and feel we have done so by this trade” says Mick The Silverbacks would like to thank Mitch Newsome for his contributions to the team this year and wish him the best of luck in Coquitlam and welcome the newest Back Mitch Skapski to Salmon Arm.

ferroequinologist (student of the iron horse). For the past 50 years I have studied modern rail freight technology. I also model in HO scale, specializing in North American diesel locomotives. This hobby allows for a very wide variety of research and activities. The diesel time frame commences in 1935 and, of course, continues today. No one living in Salmon Arm needs to be told about diesel locomotives and what they move around the landscape. I understand that about 16,000 transport trucks pass through Salmon Arm every 24 hours. I’m sure that a large number of freight cars pass through also. Sorry, I digress. The railroading hobby offers history, photography, layout design, train operations, model building and modification (I’m currently working on a (CN Rail GP 40-2W [Canadian General Motors 3,000 horsepower locomotive]), geography, freight haulage and computer simulations (I have ‘driven’ trains digitally all the way from Cochrane, Alberta to Kamloops). When I get to where I’d like a change, I just move to something else. I really enjoy doing research and, as with most human endeavours, there are a lot of fun things to discover. In the Union Pacific Portland, Oregon rail yard, I once won an argument with a locomotive engineer about the SD 40-2 he was getting ready to drive east out of town. When other rail workers started laughing, he got angry, told me I was trespassing on UP property and to “get the hell off.” Three times I was offered jobs on railroads. I said no because trains are my play world and I didn’t want them to become my work world. Driving ships was where I worked. I hope trains keep me interested right to the end. It does not matter what one chooses as a hobby. Just look around, choose and get at it. I think of hobbies as brain food–what you want, when you want. It’s that simple. Gerry Lavallee, Enderby

Thanks from food bank
The Feed Enderby & District Food Bank board and volunteers want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many individuals, businesses and community groups that have been so generous since the new food bank formed two months ago. Your donations of money and food enabled FED to carry through with November’s regular food hamper, distribute 127 Christmas hampers in December and provide more food hampers this month. Extra donations of gifts, pajamas and turkeys made the holiday hampers extra special. FED’s primary goal is to help people in need by ensuring Enderby continues to have a regular food hamper program. As a grassroots initiative, FED also aims to foster positive relationships in the community and provide people with connections to social and health services. FED is overwhelmed by the community support shown to date and we acknowledge that such support is crucial to our sustainability. As such, we look forward to strengthening our role in the community and we encourage the community’s continued support for this important service. Scott Hemenway, chair Feed Enderby & District Food Bank

Lakeshore News travels to
Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
Clarence and Irene Wiseman of Salmon Arm took a 31-day cruise around South America in December/January, beginning in Los Angeles and ending in Rio De Janiero. Here they are pictured at the entrance to Tierra Del Fuego National Park, which, when translated from Spanish, is The Land of Fire National Park, in the Republic of Argentina. Lapataia Bay in the park is the last stop on the Pan American Highway, which starts in Alaska and stretches 12,000 miles across two continents. This point is known as Fin del Mundo (end of the world). Clarence and Irene Wiseman receive $10 for having their picture printed, and are entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2016.
Travels To payments must be picked up in person at Lakeshore News, 161 Hudson Ave NE.
Lego Club
Encouraging early literacy in children has always been a mandate of the library system, and all ORL locations regularly host free storytimes for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. Especially in the digital age, the live interaction of storytime holds many benefits for both youngsters and their parents including stimulating interest in communication, movement to sound and socialization. So older children aren’t left out of the fun, many ORL branches have initiated popular Lego Clubs, using the building blocks to encourage creativity and expression in children aged 5 – 12 years. Locally, the Salmon Arm branch hosts a regular Lego club. The next session is on Thursday, Feb. 18, 3:30–4:30 p.m. Registration starts Feb. 4. To find out about storytimes and Lego clubs in your area, visit or call your local library or check their webpage at www.orl. bc.ca/branches.

Making the case for science
A new era of optimism for science in Canada is emerging. Within days of coming into power, the federal Liberal government lifted a veil of secrecy by giving government scientists a green light to speak directly to the media and the public. This change invites the question: will we see science play an increasing role in government decision-making in the near future? Dr. Katie Gibbs, co-founder and Executive Director of Evidence for Democracy, will address this notion in a public talk titled “Evidence for Democracy: is science on the rise?” on Tuesday, Jan. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at Okanagan College’s Vernon campus lecture theatre. Canadian government scientists play a key role in safeguarding the country’s environment, air, water, and food. They are also extensively involved in the review and regulation of industrial and consumer products such as pesticides and medicine. Scientists’
ability to communicate freely about their work and concerns to both the media and public is paramount to ensure transparency in government decision-making that is supported by evidence-based science. Gibbs argues that government actions in recent years have weakened the country’s foundation for informed decision-making. These changes have happened in three distinct ways: a reduction in the ability of government scientists to communicate their research to the public, the erosion of fundamental research and environmental monitoring among other science initiatives, and a reduction in the role scientific evidence plays in policy decisions. “The impacts of these changes go far beyond science,” asserts Gibbs. “Science and evidence are essential elements of a functioning democracy, which requires informed citizens and transparent decision-making.” She adds that the recent changes invoked by the Liberals are
promising but there is still much work to be done. This includes the need to enshrine the right of scientists to open communication in formal policies and the rebuilding of Canada’s research capacity through publicly funded science. Gibbs is a scientist, organizer and advocate for science and evidence-based policies. While completing her PhD at the University of Ottawa, she was a lead organizer of the “Death of Evidence” rally, one of the largest science rallies in Canadian history. An avid spokesperson on science policy issues, organizations and national media outlets alike frequently seek her expertise commentary. Admission to the lecture is $7 in advance or $10 at the door. For advanced tickets call the Okanagan Science Centre at (250) 5453644. To subscribe or get info visit okanagansisss.wordpress.com.

He knew teams, players, dates, wins and losses by heart. Over the years he coached baseball, always encouraged others, was an amazing dad and husband. He was our “rock” and we could always count on him to be there for us. Doug was very interested in world news and local events. He made friends everywhere he went and enjoyed his weekly walks around Kal Tire Place in Vernon. He also enjoyed getting involved with his church family and looked forward to better things to come.
