As if there weren’t enough benefits to flossing, here’s one more: New

research has shown a direct link between

flossing your teeth and cardiovascular risk. For many years

it was unclear whether poor oral health was simply

correlated with heart disease risk factors or whether

the relationship was more direct. But recent studies have suggested that periodontal

bacteria can enter the bloodstream

through the gums, possibly damaging blood vessels and

leading to clots.

The Shuswap is a popular place for seniors to live, with approximately one quarter of the residents age 65 or older. This results in the need for materials, services and programs that inform, serve and assist this age group. Where can someone find out about what is available for seniors in this region? Senior-focused resource cen-tres are an obvious answer.

In Salmon Arm, the Fletcher Park Seniors Resource Centre is conveniently located at 320A 2nd Ave. NE next to Fletcher Park. I dropped by on a recent winter day and talked to the friendly and helpful employee at the front desk, one of three part-time staff, who filled me in on many of the services offered at this information and referral cen-tre.

Free services offered by about 80 volunteers include delivering groceries from Askew’s to housebound residents (you just pay for the groceries); friendly phone calls three morning a week to shut-in clients; income tax preparation of uncomplicat-ed tax returns to those with limited incomes; a blue bottle medical info

program; a support group for caregiv-ers; and senior advisors helping with government forms and other related issues.

Other programs are of low cost to the client including: Lunch With Friends – a hot meal with entertainment; Better Meals – three-course well-balanced fro-

zen meals that can easily be heated in the oven or microwave; Monday Morning Market – grocery shopping combined with coffee break and trans-portation; Day Away – socializing for isolated seniors; providing rides to med-ical appointments; foot care clinics; and

the Good Food Box monthly program. As well, the centre provides a wealth

of information, from brochures on a variety of topics, to housing informa-tion, to a list of people who for a fee provide personal and home services that support seniors and the disabled.

The centre, guided by a volunteer board of directors, is a regis-tered charity supported by memberships ($10/year), indi-vidual donations, and govern-ment, business and other group funding. You don’t have to be age 65 or older to benefit from its services: if you have a need that that be helped through the centre, you will be served.

One of the biggest challeng-es is the small size of the cur-rent facility, which is why some of the programs, such as Lunch With Friends, has to take place elsewhere. In this case, the lunch is at the nearby

Catholic Church.To discover more about the Fletcher

Park Seniors Resource Centre or to enquire about any of its programs or services and any costs, phone 250-832-7000 or drop by between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. You can

There is a door-to-door solicita-tion scam currently targeting seniors in Salmon Arm.

Recently a few companies have been canvassing door to door con-ducting air-quality surveys and using unscrupulous tactics, which lead to aggressive vacuum sales. Free gifts are sometimes offered as a way to gain entry.

Some of these vacuums can cost thousands of dollars, so it’s import-ant to read the fine print.

If you have elderly relatives, help

them take precautions and consider encouraging them to grant power of attorney to a trusted family mem-ber.

Some credit card companies offer fraud alert notifications and your local bank branch can be helpful with your concerns.

Door-to-door sales require a busi-ness licence from your local munic-ipality and this can be verified by contacting your local municipal office.

It is a comfort to me to know that these facili-ties and programs are available in our communi-ties operated by such knowledgeable and caring people. After all, one day I, or any of us, might really need them. Pictured: Interior of Fletcher Park Seniors Resource Centre, with Marilyn Bjorkman behind desk. Photo by Wendy Clay.

COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

familychiropractic

The past 10 years or so, Canadians have seen a significant expansion of the number of hand-held electronic devices. It now seems nearly every-one has access to a smartphone, cell phone, or tablet of some sort. All of these devices can provide some convenience helping to streamline our lives, or on the other side, they can be a major distraction. Regardless of whether they are a help or a hinderance, there is a time and place for using such devices.

From a chiropractic standpoint, I am starting to question how “bene-ficial” these devices have become. I am now seeing spinal health prob-lems developing as a result of over-use of these electronic devices.

The proliferation of use of smart-phones is really having an impact on people’s posture; and I am see-ing these negative effects mostly in the younger age group. Forward head posture and slouching shoul-ders and mid-backs are problems I help many people correct; however, over the past few years I am seeing this in younger and younger kids. In fact, chiropractors refer to this pos-ture as “texting neck” because of the posture kids assume looking down for so long at these devices while they hold them next to their tummy.

When children fully flex their neck forward for hours every day to look down at text messages or to play games, their posture begins to physically deteriorate. When the natural lordosis or curve in the neck is lost or reversed, health challeng-es will begin to appear. The obvious problems are neck tension, head-aches, and shoulder and arm tin-gling and numbness. The long-term effects of a loss of curve in the neck are acceleration of the degeneration process in the spinal bones and discs in the neck. Once this process begins, it’s a slippery slope unless preventative measures are taken.

When the cervical spine straight-

ens or worse, the curve reverses, health problems begin. That area of the spine controls the following:

C1, C2, C3, C4 - Blood supply to the head, brain, ears, sympathetic nerve system, eyes, neck, shoul-ders, diaphragm.

C5, C6, C7 - Vocal cords, tonsils, glands, thyroid, elbows, arms, wrists, hands, fingers, esophagus, heart, lungs, and chest.

Symptoms that may occur: Headaches, migraine, dizziness, sinus problems, ear infections, allergies, fatigue, sleeping disor-ders, sore throat, stiff neck, arm pain, hand and finger numbness or tingling, asthma, heart condition, vision changes/problems, high blood pressure.

Unfortunately a few times a month, I am now seeing children under 20 yrs of age with degenera-tive disc disease, reverse cervical curve, or arthritis in the neck due to severe postural changes.

To prevent these problems from affecting your children’s health, parents must limit the time spent on these devices. Unplug your children from the internet, limit their screen-time, and get them spending more time doing healthy activities (pref-erably outdoors). Encourage play that moves their bodies out of the texting-neck postures. If their pos-ture has already started to change and you are noticing FHP (Forward Head Posture – their ear should line up directly above their shoulder. If it doesn’t and they are jutting for-ward, this is FHP or text-neck) bring them in for a full chiropractic assessment and a series of digital spinal x-rays. I will measure their spinal curves and to begin spinal corrective care to avoid a lifetime of degenerative problems resulting in chronic health problems.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family well-ness chiropractor who can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

Hazards of being connected

Interior Health is pleased to announce the appointment of Diane Jules and Deborah Cannon to its Board of Directors.

“The expertise and experience that Ms. Jules and Ms. Cannon bring will be an asset to the Interior Health Board as it focuses on enhancing care for patients in the region,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “Both have strong commu-nity connections and bring perspectives that have been shaped by their business backgrounds and commitment to community service.”

“I am pleased to welcome Ms. Jules and Ms. Cannon to Interior Health,” said Board Chair Erwin Malzer. “I am confident that they will add valuable insight as we continue our work to pro-vide quality care that benefits patients and fami-lies in our region.”

Jules, who hails from Chase, has been President of the Sexqeltkemc Ltd. Partnership since 2010. Previously, she served four terms as an elected Band Councillor for the Adams Lake Indian Band and as President of the Adams Lake Band Development Corporation.

Jules has also served as Vice-President of the Secwepemc Child and Family Service Board and was an integral part of the First Nation Education Council for School Districts Nos. 73 and 83 for nearly 10 years. She holds her Business Certificate from Cariboo College.

Cannon is an entrepreneur who owned and operated a local floral business for more than 15 years in Salmon Arm. A former Salmon Arm City Councillor, she served as the City represen-tative for a number of community groups or committees, including Community in Blooms, Shuswap Tourism, the Downtown College Campus Committee, the Downtown Improvement Association, and the Economic Development Society.

Additionally, Cannon served as Chair for the Rick Hansen Man in Motion 25th Anniversary Committee, her local Olympic Torch Committee, and as Committee Member of the Esso U-18 Women’s Hockey Nationals Steering Committee.

The Interior Health Board of Directors over-sees operations, works with management to establish overall strategic direction for the orga-nization, and ensures appropriate community consultation. The Board also regularly reviews the organization’s long-term plans, significant issues affecting the organization, and evaluates results. Board members are appointed by the Minister of Health through Ministerial Order.

Interior Health is committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and providing a wide range of quality health-care services to more than 742,000 people living across B.C.’s vast interior.

At any given time there are about 25 volunteers on call to help someone who is lost or injured in the Shuswap.

The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) is hosting the 2nd Annual LASS Team Spelling Bee Fundraiser this spring. DON’T PANIC! Nobody spells alone. It is a fun event to raise money for local literacy programs while build-ing business and organi-zation team spirit. Just like literacy, it is a group effort!

The LASS Team Spelling Bee Fundraiser will be held on Friday, May 1, 2015 from 7:15 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at the Prestige Inn in Salmon Arm (a delicious break-fast and guaranteed fun time is included!)

The LASS Team Spelling Bee is a wonderful way for businesses and organizations to treat their staff to a deli-cious breakfast and a fun team-building challenge while supporting literacy in the North Okanagan-Shuswap. Participating businesses have the opportunity to demonstrate solid corporate social respon-sibility, engage staff in a fun team-building event, network

with other community busi-nesses and organizations, and perhaps challenge other busi-nesses to friendly competition.

Last year, $13,000 was raised with the generous sup-port of the following organiza-tions:

Gold Sponsors: Salmon Arm GM, Valid Manufacturing, TA Structures, School District #83, SD#83 District Parent Advisory Council, Salmon Arm Observer, Aquatico Bay Restaurant

Silver Sponsors: Shuswap Orthodontics, SASCU Financial Group, Brooke Jackson Downs Lawyers, Integrity Roofing, Browne Johnson Land Surveyors, RBC Wealth Management, BDO

Last year a local book club, The Kween Beez (pictured), earned brag-ging rights as the Spelling Bee event win-

ners. Which team will take home the coveted plaque this year? Talk to your boss, co-workers, and friends about joining in on the fun while supporting local literacy pro-grams. Please contact Jennifer Findlay, Literacy Outreach Coordinator, at 250-833-2095 or admin@shuswapliteracy.ca to register your team. The deadline for team registration is Friday, April 17th. We hope to see you there!

LASS gears up for next spelling bee

Fair Vote Canada seeks to reform the ballot“The pride we had as kids

singing ‘Oh Canada, true north strong & free’ has vanished,” laments Gisela Ruckert, speak-ing to public audiences in Vernon and Salmon Arm, on behalf of the national advocacy group, Fair Vote Canada.

“Canada has changed. With the growing income gap, the move to punishment from reha-bilitation, the loss of international reputation, we no longer feel proud. In one generation, Canada has become a nation of pessimists.”

Why? Ruckert says it’s because we no longer have r e p r e s e n t a t i v e democracy. Since World War 1, Canada has had only four legiti-mate majority g o v e r n m e n t s , where the percent-age of seats in Parliament is approximately equal to the per-centage of votes cast for the winning party. The electoral system creates false majorities.

She goes on to say that Conservatives got only 39.6 per cent of the votes in the last federal election. But this minority vote gave them a false majority of 54 per cent of the seats in parliament, with 100 per cent of the power. The real majority of 61 per cent is ignored. They become angry and voter apathy results.

It doesn’t have to be this way. More than 80 countries, includ-ing 85 per cent of the OECD countries, use a form of propor-tional representation. Ninety-seven per cent of votes cast in many countries using propor-tional representation put a member into government. Barely 50 per cent elect a mem-ber in Canada.

Studies show that voter turn out is better with proportional representation; governance is better with more consistent pol-icies over time; there is lower income inequality; better eco-nomic performance with more surpluses & better growth; bet-ter environmental performance with reduced carbon emissions; 8 per cent more women are elected; higher voter satisfac-tion, and greater stability with no need for strategic voting.

“Canada’s first-past-the-post

system is dysfunctional. It’s outdated. It originated in the 12th century. We don’t need to keep it,” she says. “Others got rid of theirs last century. A sim-ple Bill in Parliament is all we need for change.”

Local NDP candidate, Jacqui Gingras, encouraged enthusias-tic audiences at Schubert Centre and Okanagan College

to vote for their country before any party. “Let’s make this the last unfair election; let’s empower people; let’s include all votes in govern-ment,” she said. The NDP favour a mixed member form of propor-tional representa-tion.

Liberal candi-date Cindy Derkaz called on voters to oust the Harper brand of ideology. “Liberals would institute an all-par-

ty process immediately after the next election with experts and citizens to report to Parliament within 12 months with recommendations for electoral reform for a form of preferential ballot or propor-tional representation,” she said.

Green Party candidate, Dave Smith, declared that “Elizabeth May has long supported pro-portional representation. It is a priority to making progress on the environment, climate, and income inequality. Elizabeth

May has invited oppo-sition parties to coop-erate in swing ridings. Without cooperation we risk a return of the Harper regime.”

The Conservative candidate declined to participate.

Responding to questions, Ms. Ruckert stated that coalition governments that often accompany proportional represen-tation are quite com-mon. Contrary to pop-ular belief, they are quite stable, and pro-duce balanced policy that reflects the wish-es of more voters. After politicians learn to cooperate and com-promise, they general-ly produce better poli-cy.

The speaker also addressed students at UBCO and Okanagan College campuses in Vernon & Salmon Arm. More informa-tion can be found at www.fairvote.ca.

SALMON ARM FESTIVAL OF 1980 FILMSThe 8th annual Salmon Arm ‘80s Film Festival will

take place at the Salmar Classic Theatre, March 6-8, 2015. It will showcase the biggest hits and cult favourites of the material decade. Before and between movies, listen to a selection of ‘80s music videos. Dressing up is highly encouraged and prizes will be awarded on Saturday night at 9 p.m. for best male and female ‘80s costume. Other themed prizes abound and will be given away before each film.

The net proceeds from the festival will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society, and its volunteers will be taking tickets all weekend. Tickets are $7, children 12 and under $4, 5 film passes, $30. For a schedule of films, write to 80sfilmfest@gmail.com or check the Facebook page at Salmon Arm ‘80s Film Festival.

FREE ADMISSION TO VERNON’S WELLNESS FAIRThe 11th annual Body & Soul Wellness Fair will be

held at the Vernon Recreation Centre on Saturday and Sunday, March 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Free admission and free welcome bags. Over 70 exhibitors will display wellness products and services for the mind, body and soul.

The fair is getting larger each year, possibly because people are more aware about living a healthy lifestyle. They may choose to use natural cleaning products instead of harsh chemicals. If you have a body, or look after bod-ies, you will want to be there. www.bodyandsoulwell-nessfair.com. WHEN WAS THE 11TH INDIAN HOCKEY TOURNAMENT?

I wrote a story about 30 years ago that was not printed in this paper, perhaps because of a veto by employees. The handwritten notes had no year, only the month. Lately, three different people thought they would ask around and find the year, but they didn’t report back. This is how my story started:

“It was by no means professional hockey but from the shouts and cheers from the spectators, it could have been the NHL. The scene was at the Salmon Arm Arena and the event was the 11th annual All-Indian Hockey Tournament on March 11 and 12. Eleven years ago, Charlie Williams, a player on an Indian hockey team in Salmon Arm, thought Indians should have a hockey tour-nament similar to the one the Kinsmen Club had at the time.”

Nine teams played. They were from Williams Lake, Westbank, Penticton, Fort St. James, as well as Gleneden Eagles from Salmon Arm, Chase Warriors, Quilchena Braves from Merritt and two teams from Vernon: Westside Totems and Head of the Lake Stampeders. This year Charlie was assisted by Maurice Jones, the recently-ap-pointed recreation director for Salmon Arm.

I ended the long story with: “As the nearly 800 people left the arena they bid farewell to new and old friends. Some looked weary, all looked happy. Every Indian was proud to be Indian!”

What year was this tournament held? Call me at 250-832-4831.

ALBERT EINSTEIN PLAYED HOCKEY IN SASK.Famed theorist/physicist Albert Einstein played goal

for the Canwood Canucks one winter while sojourning north to Canada to ‘find peace and silence’ for his work on the Theory of Relativity. He had played hockey in his

younger years in Germany. In February 1933, while on a visit to the United States, Einstein knew he could not return to Germany with the rise to power of the Nazis under Germany’s new chancellor, Adolf Hitler who hated Jewish scientists.

A search through Wikipedia for Einstein and the inter-net for Canwood history could not prove that Einstein was in Canwood. It might be an urban myth. What do you think?

WHO HAS TWO WATSON, SASK. HISTORY BOOKS?When I was organizing the reunion of former

Saskatchewan people every September, I invited them to bring things they no longer wanted, and place them on a certain table for others to take. In my continual downsiz-ing of my home, I put the two large bound history books from my hometown of Watson, and someone was happy to take them.

Now I find a member of the Meyers family who lives on Vancouver Island wants to read them before the Meyers reunion in Salmon Arm in July. And my son-number-one, a historian, would like the books. If you have read them and are downsizing your home as well, please call me at 250-832-4831.

SAFEWAY’S COIN-SPITTING MACHINES ARE GONESafeway in Centenoka has completed many changes

since being bought by Sobeys. The last was replacing cash registers with cash computers and removal of the machines that gave coins in change. Now the cashiers count out the change with bills when handing it to cus-tomers. Two things remain unchanged: the name Safeway, and the unionized staff. The non-union Sobeys Inc. is the second largest food retailer in Canada, with over 1,500 supermarkets operating under a variety of banners.

GIVE LEFTOVER FOOD TO THE SHELTERLast year this column had an appeal for food that might

be left from a potluck, restaurant or grocery store, for the men’s and women’s shelter. The Lighthouse Shelter is operated by the Salvation Army. It is located behind Safeway and the old arena, and opens at 6:30 p.m. seven days a week.

Last year, people from the Seventh Day Adventist Church took turns bringing supper every Sunday eve-ning. It was different every time. Last year, a couple delivered supper every Tuesday and Thursday, and visit-ed with shelter guests in the sitting room.

Meals cannot be cooked at the shelter, only warmed. Frozen food is welcome too, so if your fridge is bulging with cooked meals, call the Salvation Army at 250-832-9196 for daytime delivery, or take food to the shelter after 6:30.

COLDEST NIGHT OF THE YEARLast Saturday, Salmon Arm people had an opportunity

to experience the feeling of homelessness through a five and 10 km. night walk. It was a fundraiser with proceeds given to the Lighthouse Shelter and Second Harvest. Over 90 communities across Canada participated in the Coldest Night of the Year.

Many Salmon Arm businesses and organizations assist-ed. First United Church was used for registrations, and Starbucks provided hot chocolate that it served in front of its main door. The Salvation Army served coffee and Timbits at the Lighthouse Shelter, and gave tours of the facility. At the end of the walk, Fifth Avenue Seniors’

Centre served a soup and bun supper that volunteers pre-pared, plus beverages and dessert. All food was donated.

Salmon Arm Citizens Patrol members provided road marshalling along the route, using orange flashlights to point the way, and stopping traffic when walkers crossed at an intersection.

If your picture was taken that evening, it’s probably on Facebook. “Coldest Night of the Year Salmon Arm”

VICTORIA DOES NOT ALLOW MUD ON ITS STREETSOn Friday I followed a large truck from a muddy con-

struction site in Salmon Arm, and tried to avoid driving over the mud that was being left on pavement from its tires. In Victoria, construction sites must have mud washed off tires before they drive onto a street. Someone with a sprayer works all day at the exit of a site. Victoria’s streets are almost dust-free.

HELLS ANGELS OWN PROPERTY NEXT DOORWhat does a person do when there is a grow op next

door? A man who did not give me his name or address stopped me during the pie auction in Piccadilly to tell me a sad story about the police not doing enough to close a large marijuana grow-op next to his place. He’s been frustrated for over five years. Finally someone told him the house is owned by the Hells Angels. Any sugges-tions? Does he have to move?

MEDICAL DOCTOR QUITS MEDICINE BECAUSEPATIENTS’ AILMENTS CAUSED BY EMOTIONS

Don Miguel Ruiz was a Mexican doctor who recog-nized that his patients’ health problems were caused mainly from psychological beginnings. He was inter-viewed by Oprah about his new book, Living the Four Agreements. Search for it on the internet and read the four agreements.

Don left his medical practise and began spiritualist teachings similar to New Age philosophies in order to help people achieve happiness. His newest book, pub-lished in 1997 and translated into 38 languages, gives four principles to practice in order to create love and happiness in your life. Wikipedia states: “The book advo-cates personal freedom from beliefs and agreements that we have made with ourselves and others that are creating limitation and unhappiness in our lives.”

NOMINEES SOUGHT FOR ORDER OF B.C.Do you know someone exceptional who deserves the

MSP premium assistance, part 2Last week we told you how many people are

overpaying for their BC medical premiums and don’t even know it; especially seniors. So how do you know if you are overpaying? Well let’s take a look at how the premium assistance is calculated.

Firstly, you need to calculate your family net income. By family net income, you take both your and if applicable your spouse’s net income from line 236 of your most recent tax return. So for example, let’s say George’s net income is $16,000 and his wife Elizabeth’s net income is $16,000 for a total of $32,000.

Secondly, deduct $3,000 from your family net income if you have a spouse. So in the example of George and Elizabeth they would deduct $3,000 from their combined net income of $32,000.

Thirdly, deduct an additional $3,000 for your-self and/or your spouse if your ages are 65 and over. So let’s assume George is 68 and Elizabeth is 67. Therefore, they could deduct an additional $6,000 from their combined net income.

There are some other adjustments like number of children ($3,000 per child) and if you are dis-abled (additional $3,000), but let’s assume for George and Betty they don’t have any dependent children and they don’t have a disability. So in the case of our example, the adjusted net income for George and Betty will be $23,000 ($32,000 less $3,000 less $6,000).

If your adjusted net family income (ANFI) is less than $22,000 then you receive a full subsidy and should not be paying anything. If your ANFI is between $22,001 and $24,000 then you receive an 80% subsidy, if your ANFI is between $24,001 and $26,000 you receive a 60% subsidy, if your ANFI is between $26,001 and $28,000 you receive a 40% subsidy and if your ANFI is between $28,001 and $30,000 you receive a 20% subsidy.

In the case of George and Betty they would receive an 80% subsidy off the full premium for two people of $130.50 per month; meaning they should only be paying $23.20 per month. This

The Knights of Columbus # 7107 of Salmon Arm are pleased to announce the distribution of $17,000 to a variety of community and deserving recipi-ents.

results in a saving of $107.30 per month or near-ly $1,300 per year! As you can see this can add up if you’ve been overpaying for the last five or six years.

You will have to fill out a separate application for each year you want to go back and claim your refund of overpayment. You can access the form from the Ministry of Health’s website at

www.health.gov.bc.ca/exforms/msp/premi-um_assistance.html.

A little bit of time and investigation could save you a lot of money. Once again, free advice from Mall Arkey!

NEW NAMEThis month Ken and

Erin Fraser (above) are celebrating their new name, logo and ‘Limited’ incorporation as a local construction company, and their first anniversary of being in business in the Shuswap.

When they moved here they started up Heartwood Carpentry but their new name is ‘Helm’s Deep

Carpentry Ltd’, named after J.R.R. Tolkien’s fortress of Rohan in Lord of the Rings.

“Helm’s Deep is the most beautiful and durable fortress constructed in fictional history. It speaks to tradition and a sort of romantic period, and denotes integrity,” says Ken.

They specialize in small-scale building, and their team (a licensed builder with journeyman carpenters) can do foundation to finishing, repairs and renovations, win-dows and doors, cedar shakes, and eco-building.

“These days the market is flooded with building mate-rial that is unsustainable, toxic and of questionable qual-ity. We use high-quality, eco-friendly and safe materials, even our glues don’t contain toxins. Whether it’s Douglas Fir floors or exterior doors, stunning Larch ceilings or Cedar decks and railings, a brand new addition or a ren-ovated kitchen - we can build it.”

They also do yard and garden buildings: sheds and gazebos, arbours and trellises, pergolas, wood decks and fences, livestock housing, carports and garages.

Part of Ken’s inspiration for eco-building comes from his 6-month volunteer stint in Ecuador.

“A friend and I did a volunteer program helping out in a village in the rugged forested mountains. I did construc-tion up there, log framing, and we wanted to help with the village market garden.”

Ken and Erin moved from St. Albert, Alberta to Salmon Arm almost two years ago. They have other family mem-bers in the Okanagan but they were particularly drawn to Salmon Arm.

“We are really into the market gardens and farming culture - that drew us, apart from the mystical beauty and charm. Salmon Arm has among the most farmers’ mar-kets in B.C.”

They have three children: Josiah, 4; Eilidh, 2; and Lachlan, 6 months.

In their crew they have Mike and Jeff, as well as Ken’s father, whose name is also Ken.

To contact Helm’s Deep Carpentry Ltd. call 250-833-5688.

“Feel free to call our office to book an assessment for your project,” says Ken. “Our estimates are clear, thor-ough, prompt, and free.”OTHER NAMES IN THE NEWS

SPECIAL PRESENTATION AT LEGIONAbove: Back row from left: Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo,

Sicamous Mayor Terry Rysz, Cst. Kurtis Olineck, and Branch #99 President Cyril Gosse. Front row: Joe and Sadie Munro.

The Salmon Arm Legion was full to capacity on Friday as James (Joe) Munro received the French National Order of the Legion of Honour.

As this year marks the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII, the French government is honouring Canadian veterans who helped liberate France.

“This is quite an occasion,” said Branch #99 (Sicamous) Legion president Cyril Gosse, “it’s the highest honour France can bestow.”

Sicamous Mayor Terry Rysz congratulated Joe and offered his own words of thanks.

Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo read out the letter from the Consul General of France in Vancouver, Jean Fleury, that paid tribute to Canada’s invaluable contribution and the historic friendship of the two countries: “...You left your family and home to participate in the fiercest battles on foreign soil to save Europe from terror and tyranny. France will never forget the bravery. Thank you for fight-ing at our side for freedom and democracy and for mak-ing my land a free country.”

Cyril presented Joe’s wife, Sarah (Sadie) with a bou-quet of flowers and congratulated the couple on their upcoming 70th wedding anniversary this fall.

“I would give her a kiss but, as an old sailor, I know better than to kiss a soldier’s wife.”

Joe and Sadie’s son, Ivan, gave a brief biography of his parents. Joe was a signal man for CP Rail and enlisted in 1941, when he was 18. He was a member of the Signal Corps.

“When he was in northern France he was billeted at a chateau with others. The French were downtrodden and tired after five years of Nazi occupation and saw (them) as only more soldiers.”

But their attitude changed as one of the Canadian sol-diers went to the piano and started to play: “He played La Marseillaise, the French national anthem and food and wine appeared on the table as if by magic.”

Joe met Sadie while he was on leave in Glasgow and they were married in October, 1945. They were long-time Sicamous residents but retired in Salmon Arm. They live at Mt. Ida Mews.

Long-time Sicamous resident Sigurd ‘Sid’ Larsen will also receive the Legion of Honour medal on March 14 at the Sicamous Legion at 2 p.m. Sid lives at Piccadilly Terrace in Salmon Arm.

Letters to the Editor DISPLAY AD DEADLINETuesday• 12 noon

On Feb. 18th I attended a meeting at Okanagan College in Salmon Arm that billed itself as being about altering the voting system in Canada. Turns out the sponsors of this meeting are not really concerned about the voting system at all. Their objective is to defeat Harper and the Conservatives in this next election. How do I know this? By their exclusivity. They were hand-ing out bumper stickers saying “stop Harper, go vote.” Naturally they had invited all the nomi-nated federal candidates. And, naturally, they were all there except for the Conservative candi-date. Why would he attend when the purpose of the meeting is to bash Harper and the Conservatives?

If this organization were really about changing the voting system they would choose to be INCLUSIVE. That is to say they would wel-come the conservative voters to work with them. Not the case! Whether they like it or not or acknowledge it or not, the largest voting bloc in Canada is conservative. So, if they were serious about their claimed objective it only makes sense to invite these voters into the discussion. “Stop Harper, go vote” does not cut the mustard. Sorry folks, you’re a bunch of disgruntled losers!

Further to the article regarding the Supreme Court’s ruling on euthanasia: this article posted in last week’s Lakeshore news, is as previously stat-ed very disturbing, if not actually a statement of criminal activities. This is why there is so much risk in allowing others to play God with your life. The line in the sand will be very murky without strong legislation to protect the weak, the aged, the mentally ill, and the infirmed. The opportunity for exploitation, and even political expedience against costly segments of society will be very attractive to greedy relatives, and government officials. We do not need or should we have a group of Doctor or Nurse Kevorkian running around murdering unsuspecting people, out of some maligned sense of self righteousness.

I cannot for a moment believe that anyone would proudly proclaim how out of some self sense of righteousness aid in someone’s early demise with or without their permission, knowing the law and their responsibilities regarding the addage “Do no harm.”

This article sickens me down to my moral fibre. Time you put the reigns on your little Shuswap icon.

Instead of applause, taxpayers should be giv-ing the thumbs down to the BC Liberal govern-ment’s budget because it cuts taxes for the wealthy and increases regressive tax fees. While there appears to be a surplus, in fact there is the $15.5 billion BC Hydro debt that is hidden from view and is not being paid off because borrow-ing continues to pay for dividends to the prov-ince, new transmission line cost overruns and the smart meter fiasco.

Lowering taxes is a subterfuge for the increase in medical premiums, camping fees, Hydro rates, post-secondary tuition and B.C. Ferry fares that hurt working people. B.C. has the low-est corporate taxes in Canada and yet these cor-porations are either hoarding the money or investing elsewhere, like the three largest forest-ry companies that now own more sawmills in the U.S. than in B.C.

Although the budget finally provides some relief for single parents on income assistance by finally axing the controversial clawback, there is no poverty reduction plan and no plan to address

the concern that B.C. has the highest rate of child poverty in Canada, one in five. Tax breaks for corporations dwarf those for low-income fami-lies and will continue to grow.

The BC Liberals used tax cuts to help them get elected and then used the excuse of lower reve-nues to cut services and reduce government oversight to give industry the ability to self-reg-ulate. As a result, forest management suffers, pollution increases and a massive toxic tailings pond burst.

The government uses P-3s to fund new infra-structure so although the over 100-billion dollars in debt is held by private companies, the govern-ment ends up paying much more in servicing this debt than if it had borrowed the money. And we face a similar situation with BC Hydro to cover the costs of private power projects, which means our rates increase and the money flows into the hands of private companies. And watch out if the court cases cannot halt the Site C dam, our Hydro rates will go through the roof!

Jim Cooperman, Lee Creek

Thumbs down for B.C.’s budget

Colin Mayes thrown under busI find myself in the unusual position of having

to come out in defence of MP Colin Mayes. He is one of at least 10 MPs implicated in the mis-use of mailing privileges to collect the details of both supporters and opponents for the Conservative political database.

There were, according to Conservative MP John Duncan (another ‘victim’), “only” twenty mailings (which in our riding alone should num-ber between two and three million pieces of mail. Colin is going to have to pay back the mailing costs, and it isn’t going to be cheap.)

Does anyone actually think that Colin dreamed up that scheme, any more than he actually writes those columns and fliers in defence of the Conservative party of Canada? Give the guy a break. He does what he’s told to do.

Now he’s being thrown under a bus by the real organizers, who obviously wish to remain anon-ymous, and whom we are led to believe could only find the doors to the offices of 10 Conservative MPs. It’s time to call in the RCMP. This is no longer about some dodgy mailings: it is about the obstruction of justice by individuals in the highest reaches of the PMO, and if that is starting to sound like Richard Nixon and Watergate, you’d be right: It wasn’t the break-in, it was the coverup that brought him down.

Bev Ota, Nigel Wright and Mike Duffy, veter-ans, everyone was used and discarded when they became an embarrassment or a liability to Stephen Harper. How can he expect loyalty if he gives none?

Lead: Acts 17:26, And hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.

Read; Acts 17: 16-33.

Of one Blood

When Jesus said that "God so loved the world", he was not referring to the natural earth that is our home, but rather to the world of

men. God loves men and women and children. He loved mankind to the extent that he gave his Son to die for us that we need not die, but have everlasting life. This is for everyone, regardless of colour, race, place, or station in life.We are all made of one blood. The blood that flows in the veins of

the oriental Chinese is the same blood that flows in the veins of the white Canadian, or the black African. God made every man in his image regardless of race. We should just humble ourselves to believe this, for it is true. The racist conflicts that have come and gone are the work of the Devil in the world.God is not far from any of the worlds peoples and nations. We are his

offspring, and to look down in a condescending way to any people, is sin. Political movements have begun proclaiming Black Power, and White Power, and First Nations Power, and Aryan Power, but these have not proclaimed the love God has for all men equally. This idolatry of race and colour has driven men apart and caused much bloodshed. It is not of God. In God we all live and move and have our being.God has winked at the idolatry of men, but now he wants us to repent.

He asks us to put away our man made idols of race and false religion, and turn to the one who died for all. The effect of Christ’s offering on Calvary, was due to the shedding of the perfect blood to atone for the sins of the souls of men of one blood. This is for you and I.

James Baer.

What are you to do if your front door has glass inserts that don’t provide privacy? Here are four solutions for you that don’t require changing the door. Check the website Designsewlutions.ca for images, sources and more info on these four fixes plus two more I didn’t have room for here.

Blinds: The old stand-by. However, there are a few things to consider here, so think ahead. If the door is metal you will be making holes in a metal door (which aren’t easy to fill in if you ever need to), and you will need a certain level of expertise to drill into the metal. Also consid-er how deep blinds are – from the front of the headrail to the door surface is the depth. Is there enough room for the blinds beside or behind the door handle? Can the blinds be locked in place in the down position so they do not move when the door is opened. And finally, what about the cords – can you get a cordless option? Expect to pay about 4.00 per square foot for low-end metal off-the-shelf venetians and up to $65.00 per square foot or more for custom made wood venetians. Biggest plus to these: you can tilt the vanes and allow light to come in and still have privacy.

Roman shade on magnets. A magnetic head-rail attaches easily to the metal door and causes no damage. Get your drapery maker to make

one for you – these things need quite a few heavy-duty magnets that aren’t available in the local hardware store. Cost: about $20.00 per square foot plus fabric. Downside: the window is either exposed or covered.

‘Wallpaper for Windows’: This is a cling-film product that, obviously, clings to the window. You cut to the exact size. There are some that are stunningly beautiful and actually look like stained or etched glass, but they don’t give 100% privacy at night. Cost: about $40.00 for a 24-by-36-inch piece. Downside: limited colour and design choices.

Paint the glass: Yup, paint the stuff. We used to do this before Wallpaper for Windows came along. You can get fancy-dancy and replicate stained glass, or simply sponge layers of white craft paint on the window to the layer of opaci-ty you need. If you hate it, it comes off easily and nothing is damaged. This is the easiest and least expensive option for you, you can use glass paint if you want for added durability, but $1.25/bottle craft paint will work too. Downside: getting over the aversion to painting glass.

Four ways to add privacy at the front door

Lately, there have been many news sto-ries about all the out-breaks of measles across North America. Many people who can not protect themselves have been severely harmed by the disease.

Isn’t it interesting that our local self-pro-claimed experts have not written any more about how terrible vaccines are, and how benign measles are?

Black PressThe B.C. government is continuing its effort to

sell surplus provincial assets to keep the provin-cial budget in the black.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong says the past two B.C. budgets identified about $580 million

worth of properties that were sold or being mar-keted. The 2015-16 budget continues to identify surplus properties, from school sites to reclaimed industrial properties to residential properties.

Gold! It invites images of wealth, rich-es, infatuation, deceit, and hardship.

The light was on, so it was a sure sign that Rolly was still up. Us Fishery officers had a standing invitation to come in, anytime we were patrolling the Salmon River reserve to remove chicken wire weirs/nets, so that the early run chinook stocks could get through. This particu-lar very dark night, after wading downriv-er and up through the thick brush of the riv-erbank, we entered Rolly’s yard, remov-ing our waders and jackets as we went. We knocked on the door, and soon we were sit-ting at the kitchen table, steaming cups of coffee in hand. Now this coffee would knock your socks off, as Rolly’s wife was Swedish. It was pow-erful stuff, with sugar and canned milk!

After coffee, Rolly came back from the dining room with a jar containing gold nug-gets in a variety of sizes, and dumped them on the kitchen table. Pure raw gold from Atlin, where he and the wife had claims on Spruce Creek. They would spend the summers working their claim, then in September they would close up, do some hunting and fish-ing, return home, then manage a motel for the winter in Vernon.

The summer just rolled by, as we were busy in Lillooet with Fraser River enforce-ment patrols, the gill net sockeye, Native, and dry rack fisheries, then it was back to protecting Salmon River chinooks once again. Rolly’s porch light still beckoned,

but this time it would be different. The invite was casual. The coffee just as potent. But there was a feeling of anger. Rolly had been persuaded, and had signed an agreement, to work a small por-tion of his claim to two shysters from Lumby. They then had ravaged the claim with a big loader, as they know doubt had done with others, and it had bro-ken Rolly’s heart! Now the gold com-missioner and law-yers were involved, and things were a mess. Rolly, our dear friend, hunter, fisher, and gold miner, has passed away in the meantime.

My friend Clarence, from Enderby, worked his claims on Scotch Creek for years. Then there were issues of pumps and dredges being used. We seized equipment from there, and the chaps doing the dig-gin’s were called snip-ers. We did helicopter patrols from Lillooet to Big Bar, on the Fraser River, and found modern miners with pumps and set-tling ponds. A far cry from the days of yes-teryear, with the rough and tough miner of the 1858 gold rush, when thousands of men con-verged on Yale, Spuzzum, Boston Bar, and beyond. In the rush, there were those miners who persisted in working a small patch of ground, and one of those was just below Yale, called Hill’s Bar. It was only 45 metres long.

It was early April, and a small group of miners from San Francisco had found gold. After only two months, a combination of First Nations and

whites had formed a town of 400 folks, called Hill’s Bar. James Douglas (not yet Sir James the Governor) toured the town, and prospector Edward Hill showed him 6 ounces of pure clean float gold, worth $100 cash. Gold was $17 an ounce back then, then it quickly went to $32 per ounce. Hill was among 25,000 Americans who

worked the bars, but were not happy about British imposed order, and the tax leveled to those travelling to the gold fields, which was to be paid at Fort Langley further down-river. But there was more trouble brewing, when American Edward (Ned) McGowan, who was charming, bright, articulate, and a scoun-drel, continually creat-ed unrest amongst his comrades. Most min-ers were armed with Samuel Colts revolv-ing pistols, and a bit of gunplay ensued.

There are still many claims on the Fraser today, mostly in the Lillooet area, with traces of “flower gold” clinging to moss-cov-ered boulders around Emery Creek. But the glory days of the

Fraser River gold, among many others, are just memories of our past history.

This history is writ-ten about in inspira-tional books such as Gold Creeks and Ghost Towns, by Bill Barlee; Cariboo Yarns,

by F. W. Lindsey; Encyclopedia of Ghost Towns & Mining Camps of British Columbia, by T. W. Paterson; and Goldseekers, by Ralph Hall.Here and there in the Shuswap

Spring is just around the cor-ner, and anglers are getting ready to wet a line, as ice disappears of our local lakes. Big Shuswap Lake is starting to see anglers work-ing Murdock

Point and the mouth of the Eagle River. Some rainbows are showing up in anticipation of the big feed, meaning literally millions of sockeye fry emerging from our river systems come late March into April. Currently the fry are beginning to wiggle to the surface of their gravel beds, living on their tiny yoke sacs. This will zip up, and they will be free swimmers. In April, clouds of fry can be seen drifting downstream. Predation is very heavy, as gulls, mergansers, and trout, both lake and rainbow, gorge each day that the fry migrate. Many fry will grow to smolt stage and spend a year in the big lake, while others have been pat-terned by Mother Nature to head to the

What is a poem? There are many answers to that question. For most, it likely conjures up memories of rhyming verses maybe about love or nature. For others it represents stanzas of words that they can’t understand. Calvin White’s new book of poetry from Now Or Never Press in Vancouver, titled The Bodies and Other Political Poems, is an example of poetojournalism. Instead of photos creating the journalistic report-ing, he uses poetry forms. And in the book he reports on our wars, our crimes, our relationships to others, and the issues that inhabit our deeper selves.

Ottawa novelist Christian McPherson calls the book, “a gleaming machete, marching us like riot police into the human mind....looking at our atrocities...but ultimately writing about hope.”

White will be launching his book in Vernon on Thursday, March 5, with a special concert free of charge.

Daniel Stark, an accomplished drummer and specialist on the sarod, an Indian stringed instru-ment, will join White in a special evening billed as The Performers. Stark will open the concert with dynamic hand drum renditions followed by the melodic and entrancing sarod. He has been performing and holding workshops for twenty years and has a reputation for conveying the essence of musicality.

White will join with him on some collabora-tions and then finish the concert with his own performances of selected poems from his book. In past years, White has previously taken the stage with similar performance pieces through-out the Okanagan with his performance troupe, Cirque De La Vie. This included a run at the Vancouver fringe festival.

There is no charge for this concert by The Performers. The Vernon performance takes place at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 5 at the Okanagan Centre For Spiritual Living auditori-um at 2913 on 29 Ave. Seating is limited.

The North Shuswap Historical Society has been busy this winter sorting, organizing and making sure the archives are properly filed. Many volunteers have spent countless hours working on this project. The Shuswap Foundation donation which helped to purchase the large flat file has been a great help.

Volunteer work on the restoration of the old Riley cabin stopped in the fall once the windows were installed, and once spring arrives, work will continue on this project, making it part of the museum.

On March 1st at 2:00 p.m. the society will be holding their annual Photographic Show at the North Shuswap Community Hall. This year’s show is called “History Through the Decades,” and admission is free for all interested. Coffee and goodies will be provided.

The North Shuswap Historical Society and any other interested community members will be doing their annual cleanup of the North Shuswap Cemetery on April 18th at 9:00 a.m. Please bring a rake.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Okanagan Col lege’s “(Contemporary) Classics at the Classics” series continues with film screenings at the historic Salmar Classic every Monday night during the month of March. The series explores the greatest films made by three of the most brilliant and dis-tinctive directors working today–Terrence Malick, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Wes Anderson–with two films remaining from each of these three filmmakers.

The second half of the series begins next Monday night at 7:30 p.m. with Terrence Malick’s World War II masterpiece “The Thin Red Line,” starring Sean Penn, Jim Caveziel, Nick Nolte, John Cusack, George Clooney, and John Travolta. While ostensibly a war film about the Battle of Guadalcanal, Malick’s visually stunning film is a philo-sophically rich exploration of human spirituality, the beauty of nature, and the inherent violence of man.

Each film in this not-for-profit series is introduced by Okanagan College film professor Dr. Tim

Walters. General admission tickets are $5, with the exception of the March 15th screening (“The Life Aquatic, with Steve Zissou,” spon-sored by Pinz Tattoos) and the clos-ing night double bill on March 30th (“The Fantastic Mr. Fox” and “The Tree of Life”): on both of these evenings, admission is free with a donation of non-perishable food items for the Second Harvest Food Bank. The full schedule is below.

Friday, February 27, 2015 Lakeshore News A15 www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Choices are important things – we are surround-ed by them and whether they are big or small, choices can have a defining effect. For instance, when faced with the revelation that something you have been doing is inappropriate, most Canadians would apologize, perhaps explain that it was an honest mistake and cease the behaviour. When faced with obvious infractions or offences, the sen-sible and decent choice is to make amends and move on with the lesson in your back pocket. Unfortunately, that is not the case for NDP leader Tom Mulcair.

Faced with revelations that members of his party inappropriately funneled $2.7 million from their House of Commons office budgets to the NDP’s so-called satellite offices in Quebec, Mr. Mulcair has chosen to do the wrong thing and fight the repayment in Federal Court. This is the second Board of Internal Economy (BOI) action that the NDP is opposing in Federal Court as they are also fighting a decision that found that NDP MPs had abused Parliamentary mailing privileges after which they were ordered to re-pay $1.2 million.

It cannot be a surprise for the NDP that the BOI has ordered them to repay the money; the rules around House of Commons budgets are clear. Regardless, Tom Mulcair and the NDP are choos-

ing to cover up one bad choice with another when they ought to do the right thing and pay back the $3.9 million that they spent inappropriately.

Revelations of inappropriate expense claims around Parliament have unfortunately been in the news a lot in recent years and members of all three major federal parties have been implicated. However, a lot can be derived from how the leaders of the parties dealt with the revelations. In the case of Conservative Senators, the Prime Minister demanded that all funds be repaid and reformed the expense reporting rules for clarity and strength. The Prime Minister chose to do what a true leader should do – he insisted that the wrong be righted.

True leadership is about both what you do and how you do it. Both at home and abroad, our Prime Minister has demonstrated that he can be depended on to provide sound leadership, even when it may be difficult. In this year of important choices, I hope you will join me in choosing the leader who has proven to be worthy of our trust.

Time for the NDP to do the right thing

Preparing for a career in trades

By Jeff Nagel, Black PressThe B.C. government intends to

pull more money out of ICBC in the years ahead.

The annual dividend from the public auto insurer – which goes into general government revenue despite repeated demands from critics for lower premiums instead – is estimated at $160 million a year in each of 2015, 2016 and 2017, according to budget docu-ments.

That’s an increase from esti-mates of $155 million for 2015 and $125 million for 2016 in last year’s budget.

By the end of 2017, the province will have taken $1.5 billion from ICBC coffers since 2010.

The money comes from the prof-its on ICBC’s optional insurance side, which can’t be used to reduce basic auto premiums because the two sides of the business are segre-gated.

Critics accused the government

of building its budget surplus by having Crown corporations like ICBC and BC Hydro charge cus-tomers more than is required. Finance Minister Mike de Jong calls it a dividend to the sharehold-ers.

Electricity rates are rising six per cent while BC Hydro’s net income – most of which is remitted to gov-ernment – climbs from $549 mil-lion last year to about $700 million by 2017. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has promised to eventually reduce and eliminate the Hydro transfers.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation was critical of the latest 4.2 per cent increase in Medical Service Plan premiums, calling it a continuing tax hike that exceeds inflation. A family of three will pay $150 per month in MSP premi-ums, up 40 per cent in five years.

The pattern of service fee increases and income tax restraint is a recurring one in B.C. budgets.

JOHN GILCHRISTRODGER

Passed away on February 20, 2015 at Piccadilly Care Centre, Salmon Arm, BC at the age of 91. He is survived by his beloved Irene, wife and constant companion for over 62 years. John was born at Milton-of-Campsie, Scotland on August 16, 1923. After joining up with the Black Watch in Scotland on January 29, 1942, he served in the UK, Normandy, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany in the Second World War and was discharged in 1947. After the war, John met Irene McCann, the love of his life, and they were married in 1952. They immigrated to Canada from Kirkintilloch, Scotland and settled in Edson, Alberta in 1968. In 1979 they moved to Salmon Arm and have resided here since that time. John was known throughout BC as an accomplished piper and loved to share his passion for the pipes through his teaching. He will be sadly missed by Irene and his many friends and former students.

Special thanks to the staff at Piccadilly Care Centre for their kind and compassionate care. At John’s request, no service will be held.

Congratulations to Hillcrest and Ranchero Elementary Schools, the two schools that will share equally the $2200 raised by the Pirate Loppet this year. The donations from School District #83 and Shuswap Tourism contribute significant-ly to make this possi-ble. Each year, all funds raised are awarded to one or two schools to build their cross country ski equipment inventories. Over the past five years, eight district schools have shared $10,300 raised by the Pirate Loppet and through the School Ski Program hundreds of students have been introduced to cross country skiing and the beauty of the Larch Hills. Thanks go to all club members that contribute to this event, especially to Brian Smith, who envisioned and then “captained” the Pirate Loppet over many years.

As if there weren’t enough benefits to flossing, here’s one more: New

research has shown a direct link between

flossing your teeth and cardiovascular risk. For many years

it was unclear whether poor oral health was simply

correlated with heart disease risk factors or whether

the relationship was more direct. But recent studies have suggested that periodontal

bacteria can enter the bloodstream

through the gums, possibly damaging blood vessels and

leading to clots.

HOW TO PLAY:Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
