n Travis Heward searches for a pair of shoes to match the purse his mom chose at the annual She Shoe Swaps sale of gently used shoes and handbags held at Okanagan College on Saturday, May 7. The charity event raised more than $8,800 to be divided between the SAFE Society and the Shuswap Community Foundation.
A former Salmon Arm couple who were convicted of assaulting their 14-year-old daughter by spanking her with a skipping rope and mini hockey stick in 2015, were issued a conditional discharge in provincial court in Salmon Arm Tuesday. The couple will serve 12 months of probation and, if they adhere to all provisions of the probation will have no criminal record. Both parents will be prohibited from applying corporal punishment to anyone under the age of 18 in their care and will be required to provide a DNA sample. They cannot be identified in order to protect their daughter. The couple had been found guilty of assault following a February 2015 incident in which the father found nude photos his daughter had sent to her boyfriend via the mobile app Snapchat. The daughter chose spanking rather than losing her phone for an extended period of time. In the May 10 sentencing hearing, Crown counsel Mariane Armstrong called the parents’ actions a breach of trust with a minor and asked the judge for a three-month conditional sentence to be served in the community, probation and a fine of $50 each. Armstrong acknowledged the parents had shown remorse but, particularly in the case of the mother, believed it stemmed from the resulting publicity rather than her actions. But defence lawyer Ian McTavish asked for an unconditional discharge, saying the whole famSee Probation on page 2

McTavish said his clients acted out of loving and moral concern for their child and wanted to provide a strong message about the dangers of sexting. He also pointed out it was the daughter’s friends who told school authorities about the bruising that had resulted from the spanking. “The daughter is not who complained; no one listened to her, the principal didn’t talk to her,” said McTavish, who read a few sentences of a three-page letter the daughter wrote in her parents’ defence. “The spanking was a choice; that’s what

Schools switch to K-8
Ranchero, Silver Creek: Change happens in September. By Tracy Hughes
MARKET NEWS STAff
Two Shuswap schools will be opening their doors to Grade 8 students in September following a narrow 5-4 vote by the School District #83 board. Ranchero Elementary and Silver Creek Elementary will both be reconfigured this September to allow the students to attend their neighbourhood schools rather than attend Shuswap Middle School. Currently Ranchero operates as a K-7 school, with students going to middle school for their grade 8 year before moving on to Salmon Arm Secondary. Silver Creek Elementary was designated a K-7 school, but this year the Grade 6 and 7 students were required by the school district to transfer to Shuswap Middle School. This was because, despite some enrolment increases, the number of students in the higher grades was not considered financially viable to add another teacher to the school.
At recent public meetings, some parents voiced support for the K-8 model, noting it would keep their children closer to home and would remove the one-year transition between schools for the Grade 8 students. The move would also save money for the school district, as bus routes from the area to Shuswap Middle School can
shift, although Lutjen tried to amend the motion so that the shift to K-8 would start in 2017 instead. Her motion to delay was defeated. Trustees in support of the change said parents were all aware multi-grade classes would be a reality, and did not have issues with that. “There is no grade configuration that is
“We are going to K-8 as a way for save schools. We do not know if K-8 is a good way to educate children.” -Trustee Michel Saab be eliminated. The shift to K-8 will likely mean a significant number of split, or multi-grade classrooms, including as many as four or even five grades in one classroom. Trustees Chris Coers, Bob Fowler, Kelly Rowe, Debbie Evans and Larissa Lutjen voted in favour of the
the magic bullet,” said Lutjen. “There is evidence that K-8 is not a bad model… We have determined it is educationally sound, that’s why we opted for it at Falkland and North Shuswap.” Coers told the board it was time to make a decision, and the school district could change its mind if it
didn’t work well. “It is only by taking some risk that some of the best rewards can be realized.” Trustees Michel Saab, Bobbi Johnson, Barry Chafe and Jenn Wilchuk disagreed with the move, saying it would be prudent to wait until the school closure process and catchment area reviews were complete. They were also concerned about the multi-grade classes and the effect on students already attending the middle school, who will now have to switch back to their neighbourhood school or find alternate transportation to SMS. Saab also said the issue of what educators think is the best model for children was being ignored. He noted the board had spent a lot of time investigating why the middle school model was beneficial for student learning. “We are going to K-8 as a way for save schools. We do not know if K-8 is a good way to educate children,” Saab said.

‘One-time money’ used to balance budget By Tracy Hughes
MARKET NEWS STAff
It might only help for one year, but school district trustees were appreciative of the breathing room offered by a the use of ‘onetime dollars’ to balance their budget. This year, the school district needed to cut $1.3 million from their budget. To do that, trustees agreed to hold back on the planned district technology plan and
will put off buying computers, equipment and furniture to help balance the budget. This meant only $500,000 was transferred to local capital, rather than the previously budgeted $1 million. Savings were also realized by using $150,000 from the benefit premium holiday and reducing supplies and services budgets. This means the majority of student programs were pro-
tected, although there were reductions in the deaf and hard of hearing and the alternate programs. “I think we scared the hell out of the public and with this, we have no real worries now. We have time to consult and do all those things so we can find options that satisfy the public and trustees,” said Trustee Bob Fowler. Nicole Bittante, school district secretary-treasurer, warned
trustees they will be in the same position next year, and there won’t be the same funding options available. “Next year, we will be in the same place. Next year we will be looking at programs.” Superintendent Glenn Borthistle noted the school district plans to begin its budget process earlier in the year to allow for more time to gather information for trustees and reach resolution on budget issues.

By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
Area residents are being asked to check their properties, including outbuildings in an effort to locate a missing senior. On May 10 at 3:29 p.m., Salmon Arm RCMP received a report that 70-year-old Christopher Allbury had not been seen since May 6 at 1:30 a.m. after being dropped off at
his care home. Allbury, who suffers from mental health issues and dementia, is described as being 6’ 1” tall, weighing 160 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing pyjama bottoms and a shirt of unknown description. A team of about 10 Shuswap Search and Rescue (SAR) members were combing an
Christopher Allbury area in the vicinity of Allbury’s McGuire Lodge home, along the CP Rail tracks and
Shuswap Lake foreshore Tuesday night. SAR search manager Tara Stanley says a team will be out helping the RCMP again this evening. Stanley said she’s hoping that getting the word out to the public will help in locating Allbury. Anyone who sees Allbury is asked to call 911 or the Salmon Arm RCMP detachment at 250-832-6044.

Evacuees appreciate support from Shuswap residents By Jim Elliot
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Michael and Amanda Mack, who fled the fires in Fort McMurray with their six-monthold baby to live with Michael’s parents in Malakwa, say they received plenty of help and support along the way. The Macks fled Fort McMurray at about 1 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3. That evening they received confirmation their house, in the Waterways neighbourhood had burned. After regrouping with extended family also fleeing the fire in Anzac, Alta., south of Fort McMurray, the Macks proceeded to the Lac La Biche evacuation centre where they received assis-
tance, including two nights of free accommodation at a campground in the area. It also provided an opportunity to start their claims with their insurance company, who cut them a cheque on the spot to help cover the cost of evacuation. When asked what donated items were needed most by those evacuating Fort McMurray, Amanda replied, “For us it was definitely the diapers and the clothes for the baby. “The toiletries and the bedding were amazing and the towels were amazing to receive. Something like a nice warm shower with a clean towel is a small blessing.” The help didn’t
end when the Macks reached the Shuswap, where they received donations of cash from friends of Michael’s parents and other citizens of Malakwa. When shopping at the Walmart in Salmon Arm, Amanda said the fashion department manager offered to buy the pants she was trying on for her and then another Fort McMurray evacuee whose house was still intact paid their entire bill. Amanda also said they were given discounts of 75 per cent at the Bootlegger at the Mall at Piccadilly and 20 per cent at Sport Chek and Mark’s Work Wearhouse. “Help has definitely been plentiful along the way,” Amanda said.
B.C. schools open to Alberta kids By Tracy Hughes
MARKET NEWS STAFF
In the wake of the massive evacuation from Fort McMurray, the North Okanagan Shuswap School District is already welcoming some new faces. The school district is reporting they have already registered four students whose families have come to stay in the Shuswap during the evacuation. B.C. schools are preparing to take in some of the 12,000 children
of school age who have been forced to evacuate Fort McMurray due to wildfire. Education Minister Mike Bernier said he has been in touch with the Alberta minister to keep track of students who come to B.C., so they can return to some of their normal routines. “We sent a letter to all of our school districts that when we have students coming from Alberta into B.C., that we’re going to open our arms, make
sure that they’re welcomed into the school system and try to help them complete the end of the school year,” Bernier said. There is no way to predict how many students could end up attending local schools. The Fort McMurray fire destroyed homes and businesses as it swept through the town, but most schools in the city were spared. It is not known how long the Fort McMurray evacuation order will remain in place.

Coming together for Fort McMurray The past week has been one of which all Canadians should be proud. In the face of incredible adversity, we, as a nation, have come together to help out our fellow patriots. For many of us, the Fort McMurray fires hit on a personal level. There are many commuters from B.C. who make their living by flying in and out of the northern Alberta city. Others have friends or family directly affected by the terrible fire situation that continues to unfold in the region. Fortunately there was no immediate loss of life, although the firefighters who continue to battle the wildfire are constantly in danger’s way, and our thoughts are with them. But to see how people from one end of this country to the other immediately discarded their prejudices and opinions about Alberta and reached out to help in any way they could was a testament to what makes this nation great. A brewery stopped producing beer, so it could can water. A passenger airline flew numerous additional flights, landing at private airstrips to evacuate workers who had been stranded in camps. More impressive yet has been the response from individuals. Families opening their homes to evacuees. People driving across the province, or in from neighbouring provinces, with truckloads of water, clothing and food. There have been impromptu fundraising efforts from B.C. to Newfoundland, to help the cause. It will take a lot more than that to rebuild the once-thriving oil city. Insurance estimates have already exceeded $9 billion in losses. More than 1,600 structures have been torched. It will take years to recoup everything. But we are already working on it, and that’s what makes us special. –Comox Valley Record

OPINION
Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.
Always exciting to land a really big one It’s hard to believe it was just a few days ago that I was on the Fraser River, rod and reel in hand, holding on for dear life as I watched not once, but three times as a six-and-a-half-foot, 250 pound sturgeon came sailing out of the water right in front of me, not even 25 feet away. To see something that big rise up and splash down so close is, to say the very least, pretty darned exciting. Fraser River white sturgeon are magnificent creatures that were once caught and killed just for their eggs. Sturgeon fishing on the Fraser is now strictly catch and release. (If you want to know more about white sturgeon and/or wish to support ongoing conservation and enhancement programs, contact/join the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society.) Ironically, after having witnessed the amazing spectacle of seeing a sturgeon rise out of the water, my friend and fishing partner Cory and I found ourselves talking about watching rainbow trout do the same thing – a fish one one-hundredth of the size, but every bit as determined to free itself from the hook.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray We agreed neither of us could ever get tired of watching as a trout rises up from the depths to sip in a fly and then take off towards the other side of the lake. There are any number of Interior lakes full of strong, bright silver rainbow trout, which hit hard and fight all the way to the boat. Many of our Interior lakes are stocked with a strain of trout known a triploids, which are the same as a traditional, hatchery-raised trout except they have been sterilized. The triploid strain of (rainbow) trout was developed by fisheries biologists to be put into lakes where there are no natural spawning channels or already existing populations of natural wild trout. Since many fish die when
they cannot “spawn out,” the triploid strain was a fairly simple solution to a relatively complex problem, as they do not suffer the ill effects of unsuccessful spawning. And, because triploids cannot reproduce, they will not dilute or alter the gene pool of wild stocks. Trout eggs are collected from wild trout and then subjected to high pressure “heat shocking” for a given period of time at the hatchery. The shocking usually takes place within 40 minutes of the fertilization process. The triploid trout are not genetically altered by the shocking process and cannot be distinguished in appearance from other reproductive fish stocks. They are raised and reared the same as non-sterilized fish stocks and display the same physical and behavioral attributes. Triploid trout do, however, have the potential to grow considerably larger than wild stocks because they do not have to devote any energy or calories to reproductive processes. Typically, fish such as rainbow trout grow for two to three years, mature, and then stop growing. Triploid trout never stop growing.
More often than not, triploid fish are put into lakes that have an abundance of food and can attain weights in excess of 10 pounds. Stocked fish currently account for half of the fish taken by anglers. The triploid strain provide quality sport fishing in waters that would not otherwise be able to sustain a stable wild fish population. Pound for pound, triploids are as scrappy as any fish out there, and that probably does include the white sturgeon, although it’s hard to believe that when you are holding on for dear life and watching as a 250-pound fish is coming out of the water time after time, not even 25 feet away. I guess the only way to really make a proper comparison would be to spend the summer fishing for triploid trout in a variety of lakes and then head on back to the Fraser sometime in the fall to fish for sturgeon. To make a truly scientific comparison I suppose I would also have to include steelhead and salmon. Ah yes, the things I do for science, well maybe not so much for science as fun … but I am willing to make the sacrifice.

The promises did not end with just the prospects of financial success from fruit farming. Plans included a large townsite, with a water system from the Seymour River. As well, the company had plans to provide electricity using hydroelectric power from a dam at Seymour River Falls. The Fruit Lands Company also advertised employment opportunities, such as building, fencing and land clearing. B.C.S.P.C.A. (Shuswap)

“Reality began to strike between 1914 and 1916, when many settlers left to fight in World War I, leaving their families behind to suffer financial ruin.”
Within one year, Seymour Arm had a population of over 200, making it the largest community on the lake after Salmon Arm. In 1915, the first fall fair was held on the town wharf in front of the hotel. The displays included produce, flowers, fruits, crafts and baking and besides the entrees from Seymour, they also came from Albas, Sorrento and Anglemont. Reality began to strike between 1914 and 1916, when many settlers left to fight in World War I, leaving their families behind to suffer financial ruin. Adding to the calamities, in 1916 a severe frost hit, killing most of the fruit trees. As a result, the Fruit Lands Company, which was some $400,000 in debt, declared bankruptcy. Most of the settlers were forced to leave and most of the land reverted to the Crown for lack of tax payments. A few settlers remained and found work in the forest industry. The hotel closed in 1925 and the one family, the Collings, that still managed to operate a small fruit cannery had to quit when the cost of transportation and labour become too expensive. The supply of goods during the winter to the remaining few pioneers ended when icebreaker, the Maude Annis was condemned. By 1940, Seymour Arm was nearly deserted once again.

Seymour Arm holds the unique distinction of being the only community in the Shuswap and perhaps the entire province that became a ghost town twice. While its gold rush era history, when it went from boom to bust in less than a year is legendary, its reincarnation as a fruit growing centre is less well known. In 1908, Seymour Arm Fruit Lands Limited was established with its head office in Vancouver after purchasing 6,500 acres. The company began a marketing program to sell five-acre lots to potential settlers primarily coming from England. A 30-page advertising brochure was published in 1910 that glorified the potential of the area for growing fruit without the need for irrigation. Claims from agricultural experts were presented about the quality of the sandy loam soil and mildness of the weather in the valley protected by the surrounding mountains. And perhaps the most outrageous claim in the brochure was
Cottonbelt Range. Another enticement in the brochure reveals the bigoted mindset of some early settlers, “It should be specially noted that there are no Indian reservations in the Seymour Valley. Only those settlers in other districts whose misfortune is to have Indian neighbors know what an important advantage it is to be without them.” Obviously, the authors of the brochure were unaware of how dependent many settlers were on the inexpensive labour they gained from Indigenous people.
&
SHUSWAP PASSION
that the lake “never freezes over.” Another preposterous claim was the ease of transportation, thanks to the Shuswap Lake steamers that provided a key link to Sicamous and the railway. In addition to the claims of generous profits from growing fruit on small acreages, the brochure explained how more crops could be cultivated in the spaces between the fruit trees. The list of potential fruits that could be grown included, apples, pears, plums and cherries. Opportunities for sports, including boating, fishing, swimming, climbing and hunting were also touted. The brochure includes numerous photos that show a burnt over landscape, a hotel (still standing), school and homes under construction. Prices varied from $125 an acre for bench land and $100 an acre for bottom land, “suitable for celery.” In addition, the company offered to clear the land for $50 an acre. Prospective buyers were led to believe that the agricultural potential of Seymour Arm was equivalent to Salmon Arm and that it was “even more protected from climatic extremes.” An added bonus for Seymour Arm was the potential for a “mining revival” thanks to the large showing of silver lead ore in the nearby

Fatal Accident: One dead, one injured in May 6 rollover crash. By Tracy Hughes
MARKET NEWS STAff
One young man is dead and another injured after a single-vehicle rollover on Blind Bay Road early Friday, May 6. On Tuesday, May 10, the BC Coroner’s office identified the victim as Brody Lane Richard Southwell, 19, of Blind Bay. Southwell was also known as Brody Berg,
which is the name listed on his jersey when playing for the Armstrong Shamrocks lacrosse team. At Friday night’s game, the team retired Southwell’s #22 jersey in recognition of the loss. The single-vehicle rollover collision happened at 2:41 a.m. in the 2600 block of Blind Bay Road, near the Blind Bay Resort. RCMP report a
Honda Civic was eastbound on Blind Bay Road when it left the road on the south side, entered a shallow ditch and hit a culvert or berm across the ditch. The vehicle then vaulted and rolled, coming to rest on its roof on Blind Bay Road. There were two occupants in the vehicle at the time of the crash. A B.C. Coroner’s release states Southwell
Brody Southwell was riding in the car when it went out of control. He was declared deceased at the
scene while the other man was transported to hospital with undetermined injuries. Both young men involved in the crash are recent graduates of Salmon Arm Secondary. There is no word yet on what caused the collision but RCMP report alcohol and speed involvement have not been ruled out. The investigation continues.
Fun for everyone at the Carlin Country Market For the sixth year in a row, the Carlin community will come together at Carlin School for a day of festivities. The Carlin Country Market, May 28, is the school’s only fundraiser for the year. The community is welcomed to enjoy the outdoor festival, and all funds raised support PAC programs for the following school year. “It’s become an annual event the community looks forward to so much,” said Heather O’Brien, Carlin PAC chair. “We love that everyone feels welcome
at the school, and with so many things going on, there is always something for people to enjoy no matter how old they are, or what they are interested in.” The Carlin Country Market features a huge indoor garage and book sale, an outdoor vendor market and plant sale and the popular basket raffle where students from every class compete to see who’s basket sells the most tickets. The kids’ carnival is the attraction for little people and Sunnybrae Camp’s laser tag game
draws kids of all ages. New this year will be a display by Shuswap Marine Search and Rescue, who will reveal their newest vessel. Kids can drive a remote control boat around on wheels. Copper Island Diving will have their radio controlled cars set up for racing in front of the school. The silent auction will feature local businesses including Twin Anchors Houseboats, who donated a houseboat vacation this year.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with several food options available. Entertainment, face painting and Carlin student art displays will keep visitors entertained. Admission is by donation, or bring your empty bottles for the Grade 4/5 bottle drive. A free shuttle is available to bring visitors up the road to the school from the parking areas.

Pageant: Sorrento’s Kara Spencer raising funds to compete in Miss Teenage Canada competition. By Jim Elliot
MARKET NEWS STAff
Kara Spencer, the current Miss Teenage Okanagan, is on her way to compete for Miss Teenage Canada on July 17, but first she needs help from the community in the form of a fundraiser on June 11. Spencer is from Sorrento and attends school in Salmon Arm. The fundraiser, at the Duffer’s Den at Shuswap Lake Estates Golf and Country Club in Blind Bay, will offer a burger and a beer for $18 for adults, and a burger and a fountain drink for $15 for youth. Five dollars from each meal goes directly to Spencer.

While the phrase is commonly used, many of us don’t understand it. That’s because the term is used in so many different ways and you will be challenged to find a universally ag re e d - u p o n definition. Eating sustainably usually means choosing food that takes into consideration the longterm preservation of our planet’s resources. Sustainable food is generally very good for you, and there is even more health benefits from choosing sustainable seafood. Health Canada recommends eating at least two servings of seafood a week, which will allow you to get the nutritional benefits that are found in food sourced from the ocean.

& role in lowering the risk of cancer, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and depression. As we continue to deplete our oceans, consuming sustainable seafood is becoming an increasingly important issue. “When you are planning your next meal, remember that not all seafood is created equal,” says Josh Laughren, Executive Director, Oceana Canada. “Some seafood has a bigger environmental
impact and often can’t be consumed sustainably.” By eating fish lower on the food chain, with forage fish species such as sardines and anchovies, or invertebrates, such as oysters, mussels and clams, we can dine on seafood that reproduces more quickly, requires fewer resources to grow and often has higher levels of omega-3. Because these species are lower on the food chain, they also have little of
the toxic mercury that can be found in some of the ocean’s top predators, such as tuna and swordfish. “To find more seafood that is healthy for the oceans, check with your local grocer and favourite restaurants to see if they buy from sustainable fisheries,” Says Laughren. There are also several sustainable seafood certifications that you can find on products sold in Canada such as SeaChoice, the
Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC). Next time you are choosing what to eat, opt for clams, oysters, mussels, and sustainable seafood that will help keep you and our oceans healthy. You can also protect our oceans by becoming a Wavemaker with Oceana Canada. www.newscanada.com

Cottonwood lots hit market By Jim Elliot
MARKET NEWS STAFF
The Cottonwood Cove RV park will soon begin selling lots. The park, located in the North Shuswap near Lee Creek, is offering two nights of free camping during the 2016 summer season to those who show interest in purchasing a lot, excluding July and August, . Lots are advertised on Cottonwood Cove’s website for $79,900 or more. Maureen Cous-
ins of the Cottonwood Cove sales department said the top end lots are priced at $274,900 because they are large waterfront lots in an oldgrowth area of the park. Most of the lots will be in the $100,000 to $150,000 range. Cousins said all of the lots in the park will be sold off however long it might take, but owners are then free to join a rental management program in which Cottonwood Cove will rent out the spots on their behalf.
“It gives the owners an opportunity to have income coming in when they’re not using their lots,” Cousins said. Other owner benefits listed on the park’s website include yearround RV storage, lot personalizations such as decks and storage sheds and an on-site manager to ensure that the property and facilities are well-maintained. Sites are furnished with 50 amp power and fresh water. Own-
ers also have access to the on-site marina and boat launch. Cousins said the developer has updated the property with new laundry and shower facilities, a pool and hot tub and improved boat slips over the past year. Cottonwood Cove will be a freehold strata with owners holding the title to their own lot. “There has been very good interest so far, some sales are already underway,” said Cousins said.
Building on this new paradigm, we believe that care is not a one-way street, but rather a collaborative partnership. SENIOR

Drivers told to keep eyes on road By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
Shuswap drivers best keep their eyes on the road and not on their phones. The B.C. government is increasing fines related to distracted driving. A first offence for checking your phone while driving will cost B.C. drivers $543 when new penalties take effect June 1. The fine for distracted driving goes

up from $167 to $368, and drivers will also be assessed four penalty points, triggering another $175 charge. The combination results in a total penalty of $888 for a second offence within a year of the first. Public Safety Minister Mike Morris said the new penalties put B.C. near the top of distracted driving fines for Canadian provinces. Two tickets in a year will also trigger an au-
tomatic review by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles that could result in licence suspension. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the public awareness campaigns have not convinced enough people of the dangers of trying to use mobile phones or other devices without hands-free services. “Imagine trying to drive the length of a

NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth said the government didn’t need to take a year to increase one of the lowest distracted driving penalty systems in the country, and giving the superintendent discretion over multiple repeat offenders doesn’t send a clear enough message.

The research is pretty clear that when children spend too much time looking at electronic screens (TV, tablets, smart phones, gaming devices etc.) it can interfere with their development. Many parents know this and put limits on the amount of time their children spend looking at screens. But what about the amount of time us parents spend looking at screens – does that affect our kids? Digital information (emailing, texting and social networking) has become such a part of our daily lives that it is easy to lose track of how often it captures our attention and how much of the “here and now” we are missing. Babies and children live in the here and now. Babies are born ready to learn and they need
their parents to input the data (with spoken words, songs, games, ideas, etc.). Children learn through real life and the discussions about real life they have with parents and caregivers. Talking and interacting with children is an essential part of helping them develop speech and language skills. This doesn’t mean parents have to play and interact with their children all day long. It’s okay for children to play by themselves some of the time. However, it is critical that children have some time every day really connecting with a parent. Relationships are built and grow when we respond to each other. I’ve decided I want to keep my own screen time to moments that I have planned to use it and not because my mind took me there by habit. So, tomorrow after school, I am going to sit with my kids at the table as they eat their

Salmon Arm’s masters swimming team, the Waves, sent three swimmers to the annual provincial meet, April 22 to 24 at the Richmond Watermania complex. Bob Wilkins, Scott McKee and Shelley Heggenstaller each picked up several medals and helped the Waves finish 12th overall. Heggenstaller earned a silver in the 200-meter breaststroke, and two bronzes in the 400 and 800m freestyle. McKee won silver in the 100 and 200-m freestyle, along with three bronze medals in the 50-m freestyle sprint, the 800-m freestyle and the 1500-m free. Wilkins, now 68, has previously held age-group provincial records,
including a record in the 400-m Individual Medley(IM) – the sport’s toughest event. Wilkins won gold again this year in the 400-m IM and added a silver in the 200-m breaststroke. Then came bronze in the 400 and 800-m freestyle races. All the competitors admired the fitness and dedication of Alfred Schulof of North Vancouver. Schulof, now 97, swam the 50-m breaststroke and the 50-m backstroke, as well as two team relays for his North Shore Masters Club. Betty Brussel of Kelowna, at age 92, was the senior woman at the venue and won six golds in her age group. Waves head coach Barry Healy was pleased with the Waves’ showing, and acknowledged the meet

The pains, perfection and purpose of pollen GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway
We always think of springtime as being a happy time because the coldest part of the year is finally over, the days are longer, the sun is warmer, the blossoms are blooming and we can be outdoors to enjoy it all. However, it’s also the one season that plenty of people could well do without because
they have to still stay indoors. Beginning with early spring, millions of folks around the world (that’s 25 per cent of us Canadians) suffer from mild (that’s me) to monstrous (that’s my poor pal in Vancouver who looked like a squintyeyed puffer fish this year) allergic reactions from air-borne pollen particles departing in yellow clouds from trees, as well as grass and plants. When these foreign substances enter into the more sensitive bodies, it creates an immune system response commonly known as hay fever, (aka seasonal or outdoor allergy or allergic rhinitis),
with symptoms ranging from runny noses, watery or itchy eyes, sneezing, headaches and sometimes more serious conditions such as upper respiratory problems including asthma. Some only suffer for a couple of months, whereas others are cursed to cope with it until late fall or even for most of the year (trees waft away spring, summer and fall). But there’s even more bad news for those plagued by pollen. Sadly, spring sees statistically the highest suicide rate of the year, which is attributed to a number of possible factors, one of them from being exposed to aero-
allergens that cause inflammation in the brain as well as certain chemical reactions, which sometimes trigger suicidal behaviour. So if you’re feeling bummed for no particular reason these days, perhaps it’s partly because of all the pollen in the air. I bought a big, beautiful hardcover book off a discount table a couple of years ago titled Pollen – The Hidden Sexuality of Flowers by Rob Kesseler and Madeline Harley, which was not only loaded with all kinds of great information, but also with wondrous and amazing photos taken by super-sophisticated micro-lensed cameras. The English word
‘pollen’ is also the Latin word, which means ‘fine dust or flour’ and has been uttered since antiquity. Its first use as a scientific word to describe the male sperm- carrying units of flowering plants is credited to Carl Linnaeus in his publication Sponsalia Plantarum (The Betrothals of Plants) in 1747, who defines pollen like this: “Pollen is the dust of vegetables, which will burst when moistened with the appropriate liquid, and propulsively explode a substance which is not discernible by the naked senses.” The pollen grains themselves are considered among the most
beautiful and remarkable in nature, albeit on a teensy, weensy scale and I highly recommend getting on the Internet to see some photos. These masterpieces of natural architecture and engineering are the extraordinarily structured and elaborate containers for carrying the sperm cells of two major plant groups: flowering plants (angiosperms), and conifers and their relatives and they come in thousands of ‘pollen types.’ This critical and lifegiving mating game called pollination between the plants via air, insects or mammals may be one of nature’s most perfect
performances and one we should never take for granted. Many of us gardeners are becoming much more aware and concerned of the plight of our pollinators and are taking steps to add or switch plants in their yards to provide their favourite flowering foods, which should also be from spring until late fall. Providing habitat and housing – both natural and man-made – can also play a critical role in their survival too (as well as a safe water source where they won’t drown). So let’s all do our part to make sure these carriers of those microscopic miracles of nature never end and life goes on.

New Philippines president banks on tough-guy reputation
GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer Rodrigo Duterte, who has just been elected president of the Philippines, comes across as Donald Trump on stilts. He talks dirtier (last week he called the outgoing president a “son of a whore”), and he can barely open his mouth without threatening to kill somebody (he recently promised to fill Manila Bay with the bodies of 100,000 criminals if he won). But the resemblance is only superficial. For one thing, Duterte is not a fake tough guy. In Davao City, where he has
been mayor for the past 22 years, a local priest estimates that death squads linked to him have killed over 1,400 people, mostly petty criminals and street kids. Sometimes “Duterte Harry” denies the death squads exist, sometimes he condones them, occasionally he hints that he does some of the killing himself. Maybe so, maybe not, but what matters to the people who voted for him is that Davao City, once the most violent city in the Philippines and possibly in all of Asia, is now so safe that naked virgins carrying bags of gold regularly pass through its streets at midnight unmolested. The man is a miracle-worker, or so it seems, and now he is going to work miracles for the whole country. The miracle he is now expected to produce, however, is not
just law and order. It is a more equal sharing of the prosperity that some in the Philippines are now beginning to enjoy, and that is a considerably taller order. For the past decade the economy of the Philippines has finally been growing fast: an average of 6 percent annually. Foreign investment has quadrupled, the budget deficit is down, more money is being spent on infrastructure – but in ten years there has been no trickle-down beyond the middle class. The poor are just as numerous and just as poor as always. So they voted for Duterte. The establishment tried it best to stop this sinister populist. Outgoing president Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino (who is constitutionally forbidden to seek a second term), tried to get the other presidential candidates to unite behind one can-
didate against Duterte. He warned that Duterte would turn into a dictator. At a closing rally on Saturday, he told voters: “I need your help to stop the return of terror in our land. I cannot do it alone.” They didn’t listen. Duterte not only won; he got almost twice as many votes as the candidate who came second, and he is going to be the president of the Philippines for the next six years. So what will he actually do with his mandate? Nobody knows, because he hasn’t been very forthcoming about his intentions. When the presidential hopefuls were asked what they would do about their country’s bitter dispute with China over islands in the South China Sea that are claimed by both of them, for example, the other candidates offered detailed strategies for assert-
ing the Filipino claim. Duterte said he would go out on a jet-ski and plant the Filipino flag on one of them. So, then: impulsive, headline-grabbing, not best known for his joined-up thinking... Starting to sound like Trump again, isn’t he? But there are things about Duterte that suggest a more complex person behind the facade. He has been a prominent supporter of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) groups in Davao, which is definitely not a votewinning position in the
deeply Catholic Philippines. He has been trying to restart the stalled peace process with the Muslim minority in his home island of Mindanao, and insists that it must address the injustices that have been committed against Muslims. Not really your runof-the-mill populist after all, then, but it still feels like the Filipinos have made a serious mistake in voting for Duterte. There’s just too much macho bluster, like this gem from his final campaign rally in Manila on Saturday: “Forget the laws on hu-
man rights. If I make it to the presidential palace, I will do just what I did as mayor. You drug pushers, hold-up men and do-nothings, you better go out. Because I’ll kill you.” He’s also prone to say that if the country’s democratic institutions get in the way of his anti-crime crusade than he’ll abolish the Congress and rule as a “revolutionary government.” His entertainment value is undeniable, but Filipinos may come to regret giving him the keys to the presidential palace.

Shopping locally employs your neighbors, reducing their carbon footprints as well. Another benefit to shopping locally that’s often overlooked is the impact it can have on your neighbors’ carbon footprint. Local businesses often employ members of the community, which translates to shorter commutes, less highway congestion and less fuel consumption. So while shopping locally reduces your carbon footprint, it’s also helping members of your community reduce their own potentially negative impact on the environment.

Celebration of Life Join us for a Celebration of Gregg Patterson’s life. He resided at Blind Bay and we will be celebrating at his house, May 28 • 2pm to 5pm. 2363 Pleasantdale Rd, Blind Bay. RSVP to cindypatleo@hotmail.com GOERTZEN, LAURETTA MARGARET SMITH “PEGGY” “Peggy” Lauretta Margaret Smith Goertzen passed away at Hillside Village, May 2, 2016 at 95 years. She was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, April 22, 1921, to Fredric Charles Bell and Lauretta Ross Bell, and married in 1942. In 1947 she moved to Vancouver, then: Surrey, New Westminister & Langley. In 1958 she moved to Grandview Flats, (Armstrong) for 10 years, where she and her 4 children were involved in Agriculture for local farmers. In 1969, she and her 2 youngest daughters moved to La Sierra University in Riverside, California, where she earned a degree in “Institutional Cooking – Vegetarian.” She then cooked at a boarding Academy in Escondido, California and later in Los Angeles at the White Memorial Hospital. She returned to Victoria, Canada in 1975 to live with her ageing mother, and cooked in a nursing home. She later became a Care Aide and worked in Rest Haven Lodge Nursing Home until retirement in 1986. She loved both jobs. At that time, she moved near to family in Silver Creek (Salmon Arm), and shortly after, married her long-time widowed friend: John Goertzen. She had been a hard working single mother for 31 years. They enjoyed 13 years together, and were gracious hosts to many friends, relatives and neighbours in Silver Creek and later in Macintosh Grove, Salmon Arm. That condo was the first time either of them had lived in a brand new home, and they loved it. Sadly, John died in 2000. Later, Peggy developed Vascular Dementia and went into care in 2005 at Mt. View Manor and Harmony Haven, transferring to Good Samaritan Hillside Village in 2008. She was blessed by the excellent care she received in all of them. They did for her what her family could not do! Thank You! In 1956, Peggy became a devout Seventh-day Adventist Christian. Her Bible became her comfort and guide and she took God as her husband (Isaiah 54:5). She is now sleeping in her grave until Jesus comes. She was the last of her siblings to pass away (she was the first born) and was predeceased by: her parents; Fred and Lauretta Bell, brothers: Lloyd, David and Earl, son: Tommy in 1949; her husband John Goertzen in 2000; daughter Carrie Jewell in 2013, and son Ross Smith in 2013. She is survived by: daughter Edna (Robert) Crombie of Silver Creek, daughter Peggy (Ralph) McBryan of Tappen, daughter-in-law Iris Smith of Princeton; 6 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, and John’s special family. Memorial Service for Peggy will be Friday, June 10, 2016 at 3:30 p.m. in Silver Creek SDA Church, a reception to follow. On line condolences may be sent to Peggy’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

HOBBS, EVELYN DOREEN January 8, 1924 – May 6, 2016 The family of Evelyn Doreen Hobbs sadly lost a mother, grandmother, great grandmother and best friend on the morning of May 6, 2016. Doreen was born in Salmon Arm 92 years ago. She was a selfless, determined woman who enriched the lives of those around her with her unconditional love, wisdom, and gentle humour. She had the rare gift of making everyone feel special. It is a comfort to know that Doreen will be reunited with Bill (William Gordon Hobbs), the love of her life, who predeceased her in 1999 after 54 years of marriage. Her love of nature and its beauty will forever be remembered by her three daughters, Linda Bourrie (Vaughn), Beccy Yaron (Glenn), and Willow Tegart (Greg), and a wealth of grandchildren and great grandchildren. A celebration of life will take place at a future date for the immediate members of her family. A heartfelt thanks to the Care Aides at Riverbend Seniors’ Community in Kamloops who helped Doreen while she lived there, and to the staff at Royal Inland Hospital who worked hard to ensure she was well cared for in her final days.

COKE, JAMES (JIM) WILLIAM EDWARD September 28, 1939 – April 30, 2016 Jim Coke passed away in Hillside Village, Salmon Arm, BC on April 30, 2016 with his family by his side. He had battled melanoma for almost five years and Lewy-Body Dementia for three years. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Margo, his son, Geoff (Maura), his daughter, Kirsten (Chris) and his grandchildren, Coen, Parker, Duncan, and Christina. He was predeceased by his twin sister, Mary. Jim trained as a teacher but spent most of his career as a principal of 13 different elementary or secondary schools in various communities throughout BC. But he took a hiatus from education in the early 1980’s and tried his hand at pig farming. That lasted 2 ½ years but by then, teaching/ administrative jobs were hard to find so he did what he could to find work, including selling used mobile homes, working in a tire store, spraying pesticides and even did a year of nurse’s training before he found a great job with the Native School in Alert Bay from which he was able to get back on track. He finished his career as a Superintendent of Schools, Area Four, Frontier School Division in Manitoba. He and Margo then retired to the Comox Valley where they lived for 13 years before moving, 8 years ago, to Salmon Arm to be closer to their daughter and grandchildren. Jim always lived life to the fullest. He loved camping and fishing, but he especially enjoyed boating, first as a sailor and then as a power boater. He loved the ocean, mainly because he enjoyed harvesting the oysters, clams, crabs and prawns. He also loved skiing, but when he retired, he and Margo became snowbirds and spent their winters in California and Mexico which they absolutely treasured. Jim had fierce determination and perseverance, and brought those qualities to everything he tackled. He was also a “collector of people” and enjoyed many happy Happy Hours with friends wherever he was. The family would like to sincerely thank Dr. Heunis, and the staff at Hillside Village for their caring and compassion for Jim. There will be no service at Jim’s request but plans for a celebratory party will be announced at a later date. Those wishing to remember Jim may make a donation to his favourite charity, The Salvation Army, or to a charity of their choice. Online condolences may be sent through Jim’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

FULBROOK, EVELINE “SADIE” (nee: Doebert) Mrs. Sadie Fulbrook passed away in the Polson Extended Care Unit of Vernon Jubilee Hospital on Sunday, May 1st, 2016 at the age of 95 years. She was predeceased by her husband of 58 years, John Richard “Richie” Fulbrook who passed away on April 19th, 1999; brothers: Ed, Ron, and Jim Doebert; sisters: Lucy Whitehead, Madeleine Tulari, and Beulah Peachey; parents Edith and Charles Doebert; and daughterin-law Rosemarie Fulbrook. Sadie is survived by her sister, Jean Johnston of Salmon Arm; her three sons: Steven Fulbrook and wife Diane of Desert Cove in Vernon, their daughters: Michelle Gregoire and her son, Max, Rachelle (Gus) Ruiter and their daughter Victoria; son Jim Fulbrook and wife Brenda of Vernon, their son Steven (Kelly), daughter Mia and son Ellis, and daughter Nikki; son Dick of Kaleden, B.C. and his daughters, Robyn and Suzanne. Sadie was born in Salmon Arm at a midwife’s residence and grew up at Blind Bay, B.C. on Shuswap Lake. Her father taught her to value honesty, generosity and to obey orders. Her mother taught her to value good manners, neatness and a love of nature. Sadie was known for her patience and gentle mannerisms which the care aids and nurses commented on each day. She enjoyed her independence. After finishing Grade 8, she went to work on the farm as a berry picker, gardener and calf feeder, then housekeeper. She met her husband, Richard Fulbrook at Morris Valley, B.C. near Harrison Hot Springs. After a three year courtship, they married on July 17th, 1940 in Vancouver, where they lived for ten years before moving around the province, finally settling in Vernon. Sadie and Richard joined the Vernon Lapidary & Rock Club and the Okanagan Arts League where they enjoyed painting the scenes of the Commonage and area. They spent many weekends camping at their jade claim. Mom loved Tai Chi and participated until she could no longer do it. Sadie’s motto was: “Do unto others and they will do unto you” (Respect, honesty, trustworthiness and forthrightness) “May peace be with you, Mom, now that you have joined your “Richie” The family would like to thank Dr. Ross Waldron and ALL the STAFF at Polson Extended Care for their patience and care of our mother, Sadie. You always kept her cold little body warm and comfortable. There will not be a formal service. Sadie and Richard’s cremated remains will be placed under a special tree. Those friends wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Sadie may do so to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, 2101-32nd Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 9Z9.

JOHN C. ANDERSON January 16, 1929 – May 3, 2016 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our amazing father. He left surrounded by his four children. Our father lived his life as a humble, kind and loving man. He was an inspiration to us all with his creative mind. He was a master with metal and created many treasured pieces for many people as he had an ability to envision the end result. “Nothing is impossible it just might take a little longer” was a motto he often said. He was predeceased by his parents John and Ada Anderson, his wife Betty Anderson in 1997 and his long-time friend Rose (2016) whom he shared his love for dancing. He will be greatly missed by his family, children; Ruth, Trish (John), John Jnr. (Evie) and Merry, grandchildren; Jamie (Brad), Mitchell, Trevor and Courtney (Aaron), great grandchildren; Zach, Matthew, Shyanne and James, as well his nieces, nephews brother and sister in law and all the peoples lives he touched. The world has lost a great man. Rest in peace Dad. A celebration of life service was held at Cedar Heights Community Hall on May 7th, 2016 Donation in lieu of flowers donations in memory of John may be sent to the Canadian Cancer Society.
