Garcinia Cambogia for weight loss. 180 Capsules Regular $24.99

$ Special

Over my nearly 20 years of practice I have seen countless patients who have experienced improvements in organ and immune function following spinal adjustments. In fact, Chiropractic’s founding fathers in the late 1800’s wrote extensively about how spinal subluxations interfere with the ability of the body to properly regulate organ and immune function. What is exciting is current science is now catching up to what early Chiropractors and Osteopaths knew a hundred years ago. In 2015 a group of Physiotherapists from New Zealand reviewed 68 research articles and published their results in the journal Medical Hypotheses titled Measurable Changes in the Neuroendocrinal Mechanism Following Spinal Manipulation. What they found was that the effects of spinal manipulations are beyond biomechanical changes only. They discovered that spinal adjustments affect how the autonomic nervous system (ANS) functions and they help to restore proper hormone balance and function. Improper functioning of the autonomic nervous system has been shown to cause a number of health issues. Over-activation of the ANS (Autonomic Nervous System) results in chronic pain and inflammation disorders such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, auto-immune diseases, cardiovascular problems and Asthma to name a few.

The researchers suggest spinal manipulation is an effective tool to help restore ANS balance and help the aforementioned problems. Other effects of excessive sympathetic nervous system activity is it leads to organ dysfunction and immune system problems. Chiropractic philosophy includes the understanding that spinal adjustments influence far more than musculoskeletal function. This research completed by physiotherapists details the relationship between spinal adjusting, the nerves that sense spinal motion, the autonomic nervous system, and the endocrine (hormone) system and their connection to organ and immune function. In a nutshell, a wellness chiropractor should be a part of your health team! Patients who are under regular care not only benefit from a reduction of symptoms (headache, back pain, etc) but they also benefit from increased performance in sports (there is a reason why Olympic athletes travel with a chiropractor as part of their team). Better overall health from a properly functioning nervous system is the greatest side-effect from a well adjusted spine. When was the last time you were checked for subluxation and adjusted by a chiropractor? Dr. Warren Gage is a wellness Chiropractor at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic and can be reached at (250) 803-0224.

In the Arena

Teddy Roosevelt’s words about the man in the arena have framed Dr. Brene Brown’s work in defining what it is to be vulnerable. She describes vulnerability as a deep and courageous willingness to put yourself into the “arena” and to show up and be seen by others regardless of outcome. It is knowing that you are enough and worthy of love and belonging just as you are. You may lose and fall in the arena, or triumphantly overcome. In order to be vulnerable we have to be emotionally exposed. What Dr. Brown’s research around worthiness, courage, shame, and vulnerability has shown is that when we erase vulnerability from our lives we become numb to positive emotional states as well. Joy fades, while fear and anxiety grow. Vulnerability is not an esteemed action within our culture. We hold a belief that it is a weakness to be vulnerable. Men are supposed to hold it all together, and women are supposed to have it all. We try to fight being vulnerable by managing our lives with certainty and blurring our boundaries. It is difficult to be vulnerable when we are always worried what others will think, or when we believe we are not enough. What is a lack of showing vulnerability costing you? Does it mean you are not following your dreams, and working in a job you hate? Does it mean a building of resentment with your partner because you are afraid to say how you feel? Does it mean you are always saying yes, when you know you want to say no sometimes? Examining our boundaries and where resentment is building in our lives can be a great start to see where we need to practice vulnerability. It will bring a greater sense of worthiness and joy.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT ELAINE HOLMES IS A STAR!

“It’s amazing the amount of talent in Salmon Arm,” with these words patrons thanked James Bowlby for his latest show. This talented theatre company is running the last nights of its new show FUNKIN’ DEAD at the Prestige Harbourfront on Thursday. One of the talented members playing the “star performer” at the Kitty Club is Elaine Holmes. Elaine has found theatre relatively recently. She has been able to meld her love of dance and singing in the role of Rosa Perelli, a strong woman who is trying to make her relationship with the manager of the club and hit man, played by Mike Nash, work. Holmes says she

empathizes with Rosa who has spunk, is a fiery, no nonsense person. Rosa doesn’t have a lot of choices. If she leaves the club she may find another job and by leaving will leave the man she is trying to love. The comedy in the play comes from the ups and downs of their relationship. Highlights of the show are the 7 songs Holmes sings with her dynamic voice. Rosa is not able to break the cycle. Holmes says Rosa has a softer side but has buried it as she gives her all to the life of a sleazy club singer. Surprisingly, Elaine has only acted in a few shows, one in high school and then got hooked playing Audrey, in Little Shop

Welfarewell

Shuswap Theatre is pleased to present Welfarewell, a delightfully charming comedy by Cat Delaney and winner of the 2009 Samuel French Canadian Playwrights contest. Retired actress Esmerelda Quipp is 80, still of sound mind and feeling the pinch of having to supporting herself with her meager government pension. One day tragedy strikes, and she tries to bury her beloved companion of many years, her cat, in the backyard. Well her landlord isn’t too happy about that but when she’s arrested, Esmerelda discovers a sense of community and free room and board within the prison system. How will Esmerelda convince the system she should be incarcerated, literally, for life? Welfarewell runs February 19 through March 5. Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows start at 7:30 p.m.. Sunday shows start at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the door, online, or at Intwined Fibre Arts. Welfarewell is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French.

of Horrors. This past year she played the Russian spy in PACK OF LIES. She is currently teaming up with Peter Clark in the creation of their duo Green Room. Having raised a family, Elaine looks forward to more music and more theatre as well as enjoying her work as an artist. Director of FUNKIN’ DEAD, James Bowlby says Elaine is a delight to work with. She is able to create a believable character, add an enormous impact with her singing, and assist the production with ideas that make it the hit show that it is. He hope he can entice her to play another role in another Salmon Arm Actors’ Studio production.

SALMON ARM’S RONA WILL BECOME A LOWE’S Lowe’s, a major home renovation company in the US, is buying Canada’s Rona. Three years ago Lowe’s and Rona talked but the deal did not go through. Canada’s Rona is a similar company with 500 stores. Our dollars were at par three years ago. This month, after Rona’s three years of upgrading its stores, including the one in Salmon Arm, negotiations were completed and an announcement was made on Feb. 2 that Lowe’s will buy Rona for $3.2 billion. But now our dollar is 72 cents to the American dollar. Lowe’s Canada will keep Rona’s head office in Quebec for now. The purchase needs shareholder approval.

THE IMAM FROM VERNON’S MOSQUE SPOKE TO AN ARMSTRONG COMMUNITY MEETING A refugee meeting had an interesting program in an Armstrong school theatre on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 7. About 75 people were there on Super Bowl afternoon. An Armstrong woman spoke about the family that will be moving to Armstrong as refugees. From the woman who speaks to him every day, she said the husband speaks impeccable English. There isn’t a date when they will arrive. A Vernon woman spoke about a large multi-racial committee that gathered information for a play about a Muslim family that moves into the neighbourhood, and the neighbour’s reaction. It was published into a book in 2014. Eight drama students portrayed different people as they read the first three chapters from the book. The young imam from the Vernon mosque spoke and answered questions for half an hour. He brought a recent English translation of the Bible and an English translation of the Koran, the Islamic sacred book, believed to be the word of God as dictated to the prophet Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel and written in Arabic in the 9th century. The imam read a few similarities in the two holy books. SECRETS OF A HIGH-FUNCTIONING ALCOHOLIC A woman in the U.S. who was an alcoholic for 10 years, lived a double life. She was a bank supervisor, wife, a mother of three children, and a soccer mom. She had a dark secret that nearly destroyed her family. Finally she told her husband she was going for treatment, and why. When she was fully recovered, she was on Dr. Oz’s TV program. Watch the riveting three-minute segments. In the third, her husband is with her. In the fourth, a psychologist joins them. To see it, go to www.doctoroz.com and click on former episodes. Search for “The secrets of a high-functioning alcoholic.” NEW MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT STOPS DRINKING After an intervention for Seamus O’Regan by friends and family, the newly-elected MP for St. John’s SouthMount Pearl went into a wellness program to adopt “an alcohol free lifestyle.” His husband expressed his support shortly after the announcement was made online. Seamus was back before Parliament resumed. If you are reading this and wish to stop drinking, search the internet for Alcohol Treatment Centres BC. NEVER ALLOW A WEBSITE TO USE YOUR LOCATION I was searching the internet for Ardene, a box opened on top of its home page and asked if this website could use my location. I clicked on No. One time I clicked on Yes, and for a while each time I went on some websites, I got an ad from Podollan Inns on the right side. That’s how Google makes money. It can target an audience far better than advertising in other media. CHOCOLATE-COVERED POTATO CHIPS If you like chocolate and you like potato chips, you will LOVE the wavy milk chocolate covered potato chips made by Lays and available at DeMille’s. The stand is in front of a checkout. A 141g. bag is $4.99. ALL-ORGANIC MARKET NOW HAS ORGANIC BEER! Crannog Ales from Sorrento is a very unique brewery

Smile Day a success

Smile Day was a day of no-cost dental hygiene services provided for people who otherwise cannot access this important maintenance service. Smile Day is our own initiative. The first Smile Day was held in December 2009. Starting in February 2010, a National effort called Gift From The Heart was held by independent dental hygiene practitioners throughout Canada, and we participated in that for the past 6 years, always around Valentine’s day. This year, people in Ottawa decided to move GFTH to April, to coincide with dental week. Meanwhile, here in the Shuswap, things continue to be dire, it is cold and people are not seeing economic improvement. We notice the Coldest Night of the Year is happening in February also, this coming Saturday. Therefore, we decided to carry on with the

Cone of Shame

mallarkey

Valentine’s day as well as the Smile Day tradition here. Smile Day was a success; several people were treated to dental hygiene services. Some will be returning for Interim Stabilization Therapy to repair teeth at risk, reducing pain, and preserving tooth structure until such time as the client can see a dentist for more permanent repairs. To date, the Smile People dental hygiene clinic has treated over 200 people through no cost events like GFTH, Smile Day, the Senior Smile Program, and the Children’s Oral Health Initiative. We are grateful for all our regular clients whose loyalty helps to support these events. The next Smile Day will be held on Saturday, February 11, 2017. Keep smiling, Liz-Ann Munro Lamarre, BSc, RDH

by Daron Mayes Jasper the dog has had a tough week. He reached the inevitable age when he was to face the knife and finally get neutered. The worst of it is he had no clue it was coming; despite the Junior Bean Counter’s efforts to explain to him what was around the corner. However, like most good dogs, Jasper just wagged his tail and licked his face in appreciation of the attention. I was given the honour of taking him to the vet. You must realize Jasper is nervous when he comes into new situations. I mean a red wash bucket will throw him for a loop if he hasn’t seen it before. So we got there bright and early. He loved the car ride downtown, but once we got out of the vehicle and walked to the door of the building he put the brakes on. No amount of coaxing was convincing him to go thru the door. Eventually, I had to pick him up and carry him in, but as soon as I put him back down he tried to bolt for the door. I can see why they require your pet to be on leash. As we waited for our turn, he was shivering excessively despite my attempts to calm him down. Perhaps some of the Junior Bean Counter’s words were beginning to sink in and he realized what was going to happen behind door #1. The vet was fantastic and after a short discussion I left him to face the music. My wife picked him up and we arrived home

around the same time that evening. He was excited to see the boys, but then came the “Cone of Shame”. Any amount of enthusiasm was quickly squashed after we put the cone around his head. The vet had said the wound had to stay dry for a week, so on went the cone. For the next three days all the dog did was pout and hang his head. The first night he literally sat for an hour on our door mat staring at the floor and not moving. The boys tried lying on the floor and sticking their heads in the cone to try and perk him up, but nothing seemed to work. Periodically we would remove the cone to feed him and allow him to go to the bathroom. During these brief moments of freedom, he would race around happy as can be. Unfortunately, these moments were brief as we would have to put the cone back on and watch him again pout for another couple hours. The Junior Bean Counter and his little brother kept telling Jasper that the cone wasn’t necessary if he would stop licking the wound, but Jasper couldn’t seem to resist the temptation whenever the cone was removed. So it was a long week of watching him stare at the wall, hang his head and pout. However, as my wife put it, “He’ll get it over it… you did!”

Notch Hill Town Hall gets new roof

By Jill Goward It may not be noticeable to the casual passer-by, but Notch Hill Town Hall has a shiny new roof. Work began last September and was completed in an amazing two weeks. President Alan Cook and Vice President Bruce Hlina oversaw the project, starting with the demolition stage; removing the old roof (with its fifty hornet’s nests), stripping the cracked and crumbling ceiling, and removing outdated electrical wiring and fixtures, etc. All of these have been replaced according to code and are now “performing” well! So many other members and friends were involved in the project including Bruce’s son Wilson, helper Chris, Ben Fecht, Budd Brazier, Dewy, Irwin and Ian Walters, Zane of Winkler Trucking, Apex Roofing, Salmon Arm Truss, Spooner Electric, Dave Soucy, L. Turner Excavating, and many more. It took over 500 volunteer hours to complete the re-roofing. It has to be said that considerable help came in the form of snacks and lunches from the tireless cooks and ladies of Notch Hill Hall – a most welcome and generous treat. Past and present members of the Association have, over the years, worked hard to arrive at this point. Together with countless fundraising projects such as plant sales, pancake breakfasts, trade shows, bake sales, raffles, and so much more, this achievement was for the most part made possible because of grants from the Provincial Government (MLA Greg Kyllo) and Columbia Shuswap Regional District (Area C Director Paul Demenok). These two politicians have given of their time and means and they continue to support this community in its efforts to maintain a vibrant centre for local activities. This kind of support ensures that the hall will still be there for local residents for their weddings, meetings, leisure activities, coffee houses, kids parties, and so on for years to come. With the new comfy chairs, furnace, decorating, air-conditioning, and better acoustics, it’s going to be a popular place to rent from now on. Thank you for all the support; right down to a cash-on-the-spot donation from a retired gentleman who stopped to rest in the gazebo and admired the devotion going into the roofing project. It will all be appreciated forever.

Opening our eyes

By Nan Dickie Mental illnesses, especially mood disorders, are invisible illnesses. We (and I include myself as one who has lived with clinical depression since her teens) don’t develop a rash, wear a cast, or sport a “DD” for “I have a depressive disorder” on our foreheads. When we are well, we look as healthy, happy, and fit as you. You have probably heard of Clara Hughes, the only Canadian Olympian to win multiple medals in the summer and winter Olympic Games; she is a true Canadian icon. In 2010, Clara publicly disclosed the fact that she struggled through two years of clinical depression after the 1996 Olympics. Since 2010, she has been a spokes-

person for those who live with clinical depression and bi-polar disorder. She has worked with Bell’s “Let’s Talk,” a multiyear program designed to break the silence around mental illness and support mental health all across Canada. Not long ago, Clara had a very candid and revealing TV interview with George Stroumboulopoulos in which she spoke very frankly about her years of depression. “I was in inescapable despair; I felt helpless; I thought I was a complete and utter failure, and had to fix myself before I came back into the world.” And, she added, “I thought it was all my fault. I thought I was never going to feel better; it was only going to get worse and worse and worse.”

Face-to-face: How we look, and why we hide

Although this was Clara’s reality when she was ill, when you look at a photo of her, or hear her speak, would you guess that she has mental disorder, a mental illness? Not one bit. She looks perfectly healthy. And so it is with many of us with mood disorders when we are enjoying good mental health. Often people with mood disorders are shocked by the onset of symptoms, which may appear literally overnight. That is the case with me. We may deny that symptoms are occurring because we want desperately for them not to. This denial may lead us to pretend that we are not on the downward slippery slope. Pretending to be well, the struggling person will do her utmost to appear well, to wear a “I’m fine” facade. She may

reason, “If I pretend I am well, maybe I can will myself into being well.” This is wishful thinking and, unfortunately, not achievable. He may rationalize, “If I pretend I’m fine, no one will see how weak I am, because depression is a weakness.” Depression is not a weakness. Clinical depression and bi-polar disorder are illnesses, and it takes a great deal of courage to live through multiple episodes of them. She may think, “If I pretend I’m well, no one will bug me with their ideas of what I should do to feel better.” Sadly, pretending is not helping her case. Pretending is a form of hiding. It is not productive. However, it’s understandable why many depressed people choose this face. What is our typical image of a person who

is depressed? It may well be of a person looking drawn, eyes lowered, a blank expression at best, being by herself or uncomfortably with others. This is quite a different picture than when one is well. Looking like how we feel when we’re depressed is the only thing many of us can do. We don’t have the energy to do otherwise. But, in being and looking as we are, we are also hiding. We withdraw. We don’t let others “in.” We become mute. Why is this so? We make self-judgments. He thinks, “I have to hide the fact I’m depressed because I shouldn’t be depressed. It’s all my fault.” Of course, we know now that it is not his fault; he has an illness. She decides, “I have to hide so that others

don’t see how rotten and useless I am.” This is the disorder speaking. During an episode, she is still a worthwhile, valuable human being. So, whatever face we wear when we’re ill, we are hiding. How can we help depressed people realize they don’t need to pretend or withdraw? We can say to him, “I know how you’re feeling is terrible. But I want you to know that I really care for you as much as ever.” We can tell her, “You are very important to me, whether you believe it or not. I know that is difficult for you to believe now, but I’m telling you the truth.” What will ultimately help people who hide (i.e., pretend or withdraw) is a big challenge for each, and all, of us. We need to reduce the stigma of

mental illness. You can do that now by speaking compassionately with someone who is depressed. (I made suggestions about this last week.) I will write an article on stigma in a few weeks as part of this series. [Nan Dickie is an author and speaker, and is the facilitator of the local depression support group (DSG).

There is a local lacrosse association and they’re good and getting better! 2016 is the 20th year that the Shuswap Minor Lacrosse Association (SMLA) has been based out of Salmon Arm and Enderby. With players coming from every direction; Chase, Sicamous, Enderby, Salmon Arm, and Blind Bay all coming together to form our Shuswap team. Last year both our Box Lacrosse Midget and Bantam teams went to their BCLA Provincial tournament- the Bantams placed second in the Province! 2015 was an exciting year for another reason, SMLA expanded to include Field Lacrosse, September to November 2015. Our first year for the U11, was really a first year. This young team, combined of players 7 to 11 years of age who had never played field lacrosse before, finished 3rd in the Interior. Our U15 team combined kids 15-12 years of age, all players showed amazing growth throughout the season. Every game was stronger and well matched - starting the season with over 50% new players, you would not have been able to tell at the end of the season! As we roll into Spring 2016, Box Lacrosse registration has started and so have Drop-In practices. Lacrosse is a sport played by both girls and boys, don’t believe the rumours it’s just for boys. Come watch our girls, they are amazing players, and the opportunities to play women’s lacrosse are outstanding down the road. Box Lacrosse is a fantastic complement to winter hockey-it is inexpensive to equip lacrosse players as most hockey equipment can be used in lacrosse. Gretzky, Tavares, Shanahan, and Stamkos are just some of the NHL players who have been vocal in their support of lacrosse. A player can learn to play both offensive and defensive positions and make a quick transition from defence to offence and vice versa. Lacrosse reinforces the importance of quickness and agility around the net as well as increased hand-eye coordination when stick handling.

Jude Adams (6), Finn Rodwell (22), and Nathan Davis-Lent (00) in net Lacrosse teaches players to play with their head up and to be more aware of their surroundings. Come out and try Lacrosse. Most important thing is a great attitude and a willingness to try something new. To kick start the season, FREE drop-in sessions will be held: Wednesdays at the SASCU Indoor Sports Complex for Novice/ PeeWee (2008-2004) 7:30-8:30p.m. and Bantam/ Midget (20032000) 8:30-9:30p.m. Fridays are for the younger kids–Bastion Elementary for players Mini-Tyke/ Tyke/Novice (2011-2007) 6:30-7:30pm. New Player Registration Open: Feb 16 - Mar 15. Safety equipment is required: sticks, gloves, caged helmets, shoulder pads, and mouth guards (some might be available to borrow). First time Drop-In requires Birth Certificate and Health Care Card. For more information contact the Registrar, Mae Dodge via e-mail registrar@shuswapminorlacrosse. com . We look forward to seeing you soon. www.shuswapminorlacrosse.com

SPORTS & LEISURE Shuswap Ringette dominates Sweetheart Tournament Nearly 90 ringette teams from BC and Alberta converged on Kelowna for the 2016 Sweetheart Ringette Tournament during the weekend of Feb. 5th to 7th. Shuswap Ringette was well represented, sending seven teams in divisions ranging from our youngest age group (U8) to our oldest (18+) age group. The tournament is a highlight of the year for the Shuswap players, both for the intense competition and the off ice memories it provides. Adding to the experience is the festive atmosphere at the Best Western Hotel in Kelowna, headquarters for the Shuswap teams. At the U14 and older levels, the ringette teams compete for medals in a round robin format (4 games) followed by semi-final and final playoff games. Shuswap Ringette teams played brilliantly, collectively bringing home a GOLD (Open A Team), SILVER (U14B Team), and BRONZE (U16B) medal despite the intense competition. Yet another feather in the cap for Shuswap came when our Open A team was featured in the prestigious Opening Ceremonies match. They defeated North Vancouver 3-0 to the screaming delight of the huge and boisterous crowd. Shuswap Open (18+) “CHIX WITH STIX” GOLD MEDAL The Shuswap Open A team started the tournament Friday with a nice 7-2 win over Kelowna Open. The second game, however, featured a tougher Surrey White Rock team which defeated Shuswap 5-2. Saturday morning started with an exciting game against Burnaby New West, with Shuswap edging them out 2-1 for the win. The second game of the day was another exciting game against North West Vancouver. After a scoreless first half, Shuswap got down to business and put three 3 quick goals in the net to win the game 3-0. In the Semi-Final game, Shuswap saw Burnaby New West again, coming out on top 4-1 and earning a spot in the gold medal game. The gold medal game was intense, and was tied at the end of regulation time. In the 4 on 4 overtime, Shuswap’s goalie, Colleen Moorhouse, stood on her head and Riley Pickrell made a highlight reel top corner backhand shot to win the Gold Medal. Getting on the score board with either a goal(s) or assist(s) throughout the tournament are: Miya Doige, Emily Ferguson, Brooklyn Hay, Alex Lipsett, Kelsey Salt, Brenna Nakazawa, Taylor Pomponio, Jaylyn Ready, Jennell Stanley, Chelsey Tarnow, Laurel Velardo, Megan Weatherill, and Hannah Young.

BULLYING

School District #83 is participating in the nationwide anti-bullying campaign on Feb. 24. Please show your support of this initiative through your actions and by wearing pink!

Pink Shirt Day is Wednesday Feb 24th Learn the early warning signs of bullying… Children grow and develop their personalities in various ways. While many youngsters are teased or receive some good-natured ribbing at some point in their school careers, some teasing can eventually turn into bullying. The National Education Association estimates that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Furthermore, more than 70 percent of students report incidents of bullying at their schools. Although children in lower grades have reported being in more fights than those in higher grades, there is a higher rate of violent crimes in middle and high schools than in elementary schools. According to the association Make Beats Not Beat Downs, harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school shooting incidents. Bullying can take many forms, and learning the warning signs as a parent can help prevent harassment and potentially dangerous situations. Verbal: If your child reports being called names, being the recipient of racist, sexist or homophobic jokes, or being spoken to in an offensive or suggestive way, this can be a form of verbal bullying. Cyber: Social media, email and text messaging has become a way for bullies to spread malicious messages or photos. In the era of digital media, this type of bullying has increased considerably. Physical: Some bullies engage in physical attacks, including hitting, kicking, spitting, or other forms of physical confrontation. Destroying personal property also is considered physical bullying.

Indirect: Gossiping and spreading nasty rumours about a person is another form of bullying. This type of bullying may go hand-inhand with cyber bullying. Signs your child is being bullied Parents can recognize certain signs that their child is being bullied at school. Bullied children frequently make excuses to avoid going to school. While the desire to stay home is something many children may express, those who are bullied may do so much more frequently. Bullied children tend to avoid certain places and may be sad, angry, withdrawn, or depressed. They may have trouble sleeping or experience changes in appetite, and bullied youngsters’ academic performance may suffer. Also, parents may notice that children return from school missing some of their belongings.

that do not belong to him or her ■ getting in trouble with teachers or school administrators ■ picking on siblings ■ not accepting responsibility for actions There are ways parents can teach their children to act properly when faced with a bully. First, parents should explain that bullying is not the child’s fault and he or she does not deserve to be picked on. Next, parents can let children know that being assertive but not violent with bullies may diffuse the situation, as some bullies thrive on the fear of their victims. If the bullying behaviour continues, the student should speak to an adult or authority figure. Parents of bullies may need to be especially mindful of their children’s behaviour. Counselling could be necessary to determine what is compelling kids to bully other students.

Signs your child is the bully Parents may not want to imagine their children bullying other students, but bullies do exist. Children who bully other kids have strong needs for power and negative dominance. They may find satisfaction in causing suffering to others. Some signs that your child may be a bully include: ■ easily becoming violent with others ■ having friends who bully others ■ blaming others quickly ■ comes home with belongings

Back in the 1960’s-70’s, game wardens Don Ellis (Kelowna), Alan Frisby (Vernon), and George Lines (Revelstoke), relied on gut feelings, instinct, and working alone, when in a jam. Too, back into the 1980’s, conservation officers and fishery officers worked alone, on long enforcement patrols, emergency night calls outs, game/salmon/ hunter checks, with CO’s. Their only help; their truck radiophone, then the cell phone. Fortunately, in the mid 1990’s, the RCMP channel was allowed, and many of their members thoroughly enjoyed helping out with take downs, chases through the bush of poachers, and arresting the bad guys. Enderby members Kerri/Gord/R. Forand (Armstrong)/Tomma helped me out a number of times at night,

Road blocks and traffic stops when things got out of hand on the Shuswap river during salmon season. About 2001, for health and safety

reasons, night patrols consisted of two officers, which reduced the stress level, and helped in compliance issues. Many times with traffic stops on a bush road, during hunting season, you’ll see a pick-up approaching, just as your partner activated the emergency lights, and hunters quickly ejected rounds from

their rifles. Road blocks: we, along with National Parks wardens, CO’s, RCMP members, and Fish and Wildlife officers, held annual checks at Roger’s P a s s , Greenwood, and Jasper National Park. These checks resulted in a multitude of v a r i o u s charges. Tow trucks lined up to take vehicles from prohibited drivers. Contraband and/or drugs were seized on consensual searches. Salmon, crab, and oysters were taken on over-limits. It was an estimated 3-4 tons of sockeye alone, headed to Alberta on a summer weekend. So now, we go from the serious nature of the enforcement aspect of road checks, to a humorous

roadside check, down in the US of A. I hope you’ll enjoy a good chuckle on this one, although a bit bizarre. An Arizona patrol officer pulled over a Harley rider for going over the posted speed. The officer asked the rider for his name,”Fred”, he replied. The officer then said,”Fred who?” “Just Fred” the biker replies. The officer, being in a good mood, thought he just might give Fred a warning ticket, if he can get the guy’s last name. The officer once again asks Fred for his last name, now thinking he may have a nut case on his hands. “So, Fred, let me have your last name.” So Fred says, “it’s a long story, so stay with me and I’ll explain”. The officer settled back on his patrol motorcycle, let down the kick stand, and began to adhere to Fred’s story. “I was born Fred Johnson. All

I was now Fred Johnson, MD. Got bored at being a doctor, so enrolled into a school of dentistry, which was now my dream. Went all the way through school, graduated, and began a dental practice. I was now Fred Johnson, MD DDS. Got tired of looking into people’s mouths, working with drills, and all that stuff, but my assistant was a pretty younger thing, so started to fool around with her. Oh, now, it was bad news. She gave me VD. So now I’m Fred Johnson MD DDS with VD. It wasn’t long, before the AMA found out about my VD and took away my MD. Now, the ADA was very con-

Then the VD took away my Johnson so now my name is just Fred!” The officer doubled over in laughter, tears running down his face. He’d heard some hilarious stories and excuses from drivers he’d stopped over time, but he just couldn’t wait to tell Fred’s story to the other officers at their police station. Here and There in The Shuswap Another great turn out happened last Saturday night, the 13th, for the Salmon Arm fish and game fundraiser, dinner, and dance. The proceeds going to enhancing wildlife projects through out the Shuswap region. In combination with the

Working with DFO come spring, to place regulation signs at launch sites on Mara, Big Shuswap, Little Shuswap, Shuswap river, and S. Thompson rivers explaining to anglers bait bans, barbless hooks and catch retentions. Remember, a land fit for wildlife is a land fit for people, so keep a sharp eye out for polluters, those who dump garbage on side roads, and who are fish hogs on the ice or out on the water!

Our practice was recently informed of the article entitled ‘Whiplash’ in the Lakeshore News on January 29th. We feel that the physiotherapy profession has been misrepresented and would like to respond. The article leads the reader to believe that the referenced study from 2004 published in the Journal of Whiplash and Associated Disorders was comparing chiropractic treatments to physiotherapy treatments and the author’s take-home message was that the study supported the use of chiropractic spinal adjustments in the treatment of whiplash. In fact, the study was completed entirely by physiotherapists and was designed to compare different types of physiotherapy treatment. Furthermore, due to design flaws and year of publication, the article is now considered dated and of relative low quality. Research has come a long way in 12 years, and physiotherapy treatment has progressed with it. All health care providers are professionally and ethically responsible to provide treatment based on the best available evidence to date. A recent Cochrane Review (2015) of 51 studies supports active rehabilitation for patients with neck pain, and in particular, neck and shoulder strengthening exercises. However, the most successful treatment protocol generally involves a number of techniques and approaches used in combination. To summarize the current high quality research, optimal treatments for managing neck pain and whiplash injuries should involve a progressive strengthening program with a short course of manual therapy such as mobilizations, manipulations and soft-tissue release techniques as well as well-timed, accurate patient education. We often share in the treatment of patients with chiropractors and other health professionals in town and value the relationship we have with them. It should never be a question of which individual health profession is better, but rather what is the best care plan for each individual patient. We believe that the best quality care involves a multidisciplinary approach where all team members work in communication to provide the most up-to-date treatment available. We are more than happy to provide references to the most current research on request and any questions may be directed to us at Live Well Physiotherapy. The Team at Live Well Physiotherapy

Right or Left ... ?

In the February 7th edition of the Lakeshore News, a letter to the Editor column, a J. Muir of Canoe tells us how the left leaning media are in bed with the federal Liberals. All we ever hear is how bad the Conservatives were and are? The words from J. Muir are the absolute truth and it is encouraging to hear from the clear thinkers around the Shuswap. The local media are out of control. We need to hear the truth from people like J. Muir to remind us we are not always told the truth by the media. Many have asked over the years why the Lakeshore News and other newspapers do not have any right of center columns ….. please do not count columns that appear as a result of a buy & sell agreement for a newspaper, this is not true journalism when someone purchases the right to have a column appear in a paper. A very good letter in my opinion, keep it up J. Muir as everyone enjoys the truth from time to time? B. Campbell, Sorrento, BC

Marketing Bootcamp helps build local businesses

Small business and non-profit organizations around British Columbia are struggling to get noticed in an extremely competitive market. But the battle can soon be over thanks to a oneday Marketing Bootcamp offered in Kelowna on February 29 and Kamloops on March 1. “Marketing is often an afterthought for small businesses, but it shouldn’t be,” said George Affleck, the president and CEO of Curve Communications, a Vancouver-based marketing agency. “Without the proper strategy, companies can’t stand out from the competition.” Affleck and a team of experts are behind these one-day intensive marketing classes, which will teach participants how to jumpstart their marketing campaigns and build their brands. Team Curve Affleck is a former journalist and Curve’s founder and CEO. He’s also the author of Buzz: How to Grow Your Small Business Using Grassroots Marketing. With more than 15 years in the industry, Affleck has developed a fail-safe grassroots marketing model that can help launch or create awareness about any business. Amanda Bates, Curve’s vice president, brings more than 20 years of experience in journalism, producing, and television to the workshops. She is an expert crafter of pitches and knows what it takes to get journalists to cover stories. Stephen Johnson is a master of Google search algorithms, pay-per-click campaigns, and search engine optimization (SEO). He works behind the scenes to make marketing efforts stand out from the competition. The Course Buzz, Affleck’s book, was released at the end of 2015 and covers tools and tips business owners need to launch and grow their companies. In it, Affleck describes his Buzz Formula – a marketing method he has honed over the years. It’s a formula he will also share with participants in the Kelowna and Kamloops workshops. “Unlike other courses, these marketing bootcamps won’t take a generic, catchall approach,” Affleck said. “Before participants even set foot in the training room, we will evaluate their existing online presences – from websites to social media.” For companies and organizations without websites, the Curve team will also explain why having an online presence is a necessary component to an effective marketing campaign. Business owners will learn how to manage their SEO, Google AdWords and Facebook advertising too. “I’ll take participants on a tour of search engines and reveal how companies can profit

from them,” Johnson said. Participants will discover how to create ads for print, radio, television, and online, write compelling content, and harness the power of email marketing while adhering to Canadian anti-spam laws. Curve has years of experience in media buying and will show workshop participants how to negotiate ad placement, create promotional campaigns, foster community relations, place corporate donations, and develop strategic pitches for journalists. “I received countless pitches as a producer, but many of them lacked research and newsworthiness,” Bates said. “Journalists are busy and don’t have time to figure out what you’re trying to say. We know how to get their attention.” The Benefits Not only will bootcampers get all the advice they need to help their companies and organizations stand out from the competition, they will receive a free copy of Buzz and an hourlong complimentary one-on-one session with Affleck, Bates, or Johnson. The newspaper is also partnering with Curve Communications and will offer ad bundle discounts to all those who register for the Marketing Bootcamp. “We’re happy to support a training program that helps businesses in Kelowna and Kamloops flourish,” said Kelly Hall, Kamloops This Week’s publisher. Don’t delay in signing up for the Marketing Bootcamp because space is limited. Please visit http://curvecommunications.com/bootcamp-simple/ to register online or contact Kerry Slater at kerry@curvecommunications. com.

Historic destination

By Deborah Chapman It is September 18, 1894. Imagine trying to get to Salmon Arm by canoe. The lake is low. Surveyor George Mercer Dawson is in the area mapping for the Canadian government. He plans to make a brief stop in Salmon Arm. Dawson breaks camp at the base of Bastion Mountain and heads for the Salmon Arm bay. He lingers over lunch at Mallard Point (Sandy Point). He knows it will not be an easy paddle. Dawson’s canoe is beached on a mudflat 91 meters from shore. He sighs, takes off his boots, and walks in mud so thick he is afraid he will disappear altogether. All he needs are a few supplies from McGuire’s store and to send a telegraph to Ottawa. He doesn’t plan to spend the night. The tiny community does not even have a hotel. Besides, Dawson needs to get to Sicamous. Two years later Salmon Arm has changed. The small community has become a distinctive destination. Town matriarch Agnes

McGuire has built a jetty into the lake for all to use. She knows it is the community-minded thing to do. It’s also good for business. As long as the lake is ice-free, residents on the remote shores have access to Salmon Arm’s two stores [McGuire’s and Buyan’s], the railway station, Cameron House - a comfortable hotel with a pub, newly constructed stables for horses, and a sweet postmistress, Miss Emily McGuire, who promises to take care of their mail. What more could any visitor want? For the next decade paddle wheelers continue to nose up to the shoreline and Captains set out their gang planks for passengers to debark. But things are about to change again. Yale - Cariboo MP Duncan Ross makes a visit in February 1907. He speaks to his constituents and announces a gift from the federal government. Someone has alerted the press. The owners of the Enderby Progress know this is news. “The hearts of all

Salmon Arm citizens were gladdened by the report on the progress of the wharf….$5,000 has been placed on the B.C. Supplementary Estimates for the purpose of building a wharf at Salmon Arm. The opening up of the timber limits and the building of a wharf will mark the advent of a new era in the way of development for Salmon Arm. Now watch us grow!” “The wharf will no doubt be a great boon to the Salmon Arm community and means more prosperous times than ever before. Congratulations are due the Liberal Association for [its] good work in bringing the matter to its present state of promise.” The government wharf becomes an even bigger community gathering place. It is a social place; a place to promenade much like it is today. Thanks to Mrs. McGuire, the grounds around the wharf are in constant use, winter and summer. She has given the community permission to use her “grove” on the lake side of the railway tracks for picnics

Haney quilt raffle and as a recreational park. People have a place to play hockey in the winter; and tennis, cricket, lawn bowls, and baseball in the summer. With a bit of help from community players, Mrs. McGuire has created a distinctive destination. The Salmon Arm Museum at R.J. Haney Heritage Village celebrates the “Distinctive Destinations” theme for Heritage Week at the Mall at Piccadilly. See the displays from Feb. 15th to 20th.

R.J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum and the Shuswap Quilters’ Guild are raffling a hand appliquéd and machine quilted; double/queen size quilt, valued at $1,800. This lovely full size floral quilt was hand appliquéd by Betty Champion and machine quilted by Wendy Browne and donated to the Shuswap Quilters’ Guild to be used as a raffle quilt. The net proceeds will to be used to furnish the Miss Puff’s Dress Shop & Millinery in the new Montebello Block currently under construction at R.J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum. Tickets are $2.00 each and can be purchased at the Shuswap Quilters’ Guild dis-

play at the Heritage Week Celebration from February 17th – 20th, 2016, at the Mall at Piccadilly. After Heritage Week, tickets are available by calling R.J. Haney Heritage Village at 250-832-5243, from members of the Shuswap Quilters’ Guild, and at the quilt show the weekend of June 4th and 5th, 2016. The winning ticket will be drawn at R.J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum at Pioneer Day on July 10, 2016 at 1:30 p.m.

ANTON “TONY” BARVIR January 14, 1931 – February 11, 2016 Tony was born at Sunnybrook, Alberta and passed away at Shuswap Lake General Hospital after a lengthy battle with C.O.P.D. and asthma. At a young age he moved with his family from Sunnybrook to Picture Butte, AB. He later moved to Calgary. Tony spent his working years as a farmer, machinist at C.P.R., then a foreman at Domtar Construction materials. He took an early retirement and moved to White Lake where he resided for 20 years. Tony was a volunteer fireman, helped build the Community Hall, and helped run the Old Time dances besides growing a big garden. For health reasons he moved to Salmon Arm in 2005. Tony enjoyed music, dancing, camping, fishing, card playing, and in his younger years, hunting, hiking, and waterskiing. Tony is predeceased by his parents and three brothers. He is survived by his wife Elaine; three sons, Bob (Chris), Don (Rose), and Rick; one daughter Cheryl (Geoff) Smith; eight grandchildren and six great grandchildren. He is also survived by three sisters and numerous nieces and nephews in the Czech Republic. Many thanks to the staff, doctors, and nurses, especially Dr. Grieve, for keeping Tony comfortable in his final two weeks in the hospital. There will be a family memorial for Tony in Alberta at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium, Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129.

ENTERTAINMENT, NIGHTLIFE & RESTAURANTS IN THE SHUSWAP.

Taurus, this is a great week to just kick back and be yourself without feeling the crunch of deadlines or responsibilities. You’ll get a few free moments to do whatever you like.

GEMINI

Something you have always wanted to do may become possible this week. Maybe it’s something from your bucket list. Bring a friend to join in the fun.

CANCER

How far you come this week depends on your attitude, Cancer. If you keep an open mind, you will find success. Keep a positive attitude and reap the rewards.

LEO

Leo, you will have the opportunity to work on a personal problem that has gotten the best of you before. Work through all of the angles before you put a plan in motion.

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Sagittarius

You may find yourself in the position of middle man this week, Virgo. Others come to you with their concerns, and you put their minds at ease.

Scorpio, shopping is on your mind but you may have to put that idea off for a little while longer. More pressing purchases for the home or business take priority.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius, your finances are a bit difficult to decode at the time being, and that can lead to trouble. Better to bring in someone who knows what he or she is doing to help you work it out.
