CAPRICORN A big payoff awaits if you work hard and exercise patience this week, Capricorn. Although you may be pushing for immediate results, the outcome will take some time.

AQUARIUSDont abandon your spontaneity this week, Aquarius. Hang out with others who appreciate flying by the seat of their pants. You will be in for a good time later in the week.

ARIES Conflicting instructions make it difficult to please others this week, Aries. Try your best to meet others needs, and look to others for help if the need arises.

TAURUS Taurus, your stubbornness can sometimes be an asset, but dont let it get in the way this week. Approach a task with a new perspective and dont hesitate to solicit others opinions.

GEMINIGemini, even though you are reluctant to show your hand this week, others know whats on your mind. Its tough for you to remain aloof when you seem like an open book.

CANCERYou are full of energy this week, Cancer, so put it to good use. Lend a hand to others who have a lot on their plates and tackle some lingering projects of your own as well.

LEOLeo, dont take anything for granted this week. A project might go off without a hitch, but you need to be prepared in case it does not. Remain aware.

VIRGOVirgo, you may be so engrossed in your own routine that you miss some of the subtle goings-on at work. If suddenly you feel out of the loop, make an effort to be more in the know.

LIBRA Libra, speak up about a situation that you feel needs to be addressed. Your voice wont be heard if you remain quiet, but your point of view offers some valuable insight.

SCORPIO Scorpio, rather than focusing on your own progress this week, see what you can learn from others without making everything a competition. This can be a special learning process.

SAGITTARIUS Sagittarius, you may be doing your best to demonstrate your good intentions, but others may not be satisfied with your efforts. Reexamine your approach.

PISCES A sense of self-confidence does not mean that everything will immediately go your way, Pisces. You still need to work hard to have things play out right.

In July, a customer visited the Okanagan Regional Librarys (ORL) branch in Armstrong to use a computer terminal to conduct research on her fam-ilys history in preparation for a reunion. The library was very busy that day and staff werent able to provide the one-on-one support she needed to navigate the unfamiliar terrain of Google.

Fortunately, a preteen sitting at the adjacent computer station noticed her frustration and offered to assist. They spent twenty minutes together going over how to enter search terms, click on links, and go back to previous pages,

shared Armstrongs Community Librarian Julie White. In the end, the lady found the information she was looking for and left happy.

The incident reinforced what White had been observing at the library in recent years how important digital literacy has become for managing our daily lives, and how learning to use technology can be intimidating for new users.

To address this, the ORL will be con-ducting free personalized technology training at its libraries throughout this fall. Anyone can sign up to join a

45-minute session to spend with a library staff member trained in the use of various devices and computer pro-grams; classes are capped at three par-ticipants so each learner will have the opportunity for one-on-one assistance.

We often get asked to help with things like uploading or downloading pictures, post a classified ad, or reserve airline tickets or hotels, explained White. But these kinds of tasks can be very confusing without knowledge of how to use a computer or Wifi device, or understanding the terminology.

She adds, Technology can definitely

enhance ones life with learning some basic proficiency. My favourite example is being able to Skype the grandkids.

ORL staff have booked personalized tech training sessions at library branch-es from Golden down to Osoyoos begin-ning September 1 until October 30. Call or visit your local library branch to find out about training sessions in your area and to register. Additionally, reference staff at the downtown Kelowna library, Vernon library and Salmon Arm library are available to help with device and technology questions during all open hours.

Okanagan Regional Library to offer personalized tech training

Seniors in the South Shuswap area will be able to access free one-on-one computer support starting this fall. The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS), in partnership with the South Shuswap Health Services Society (SSHSS) and its affiliated committee, Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre (CISRC), will be offering free computer tutoring sessions and monthly technology workshops for seniors.

LASS is currently looking for volunteer tutors who are able to commit one hour per week to help local seniors with basic computer skills such as how to use a mouse, how to set up an email account, how to search for information on the Internet, or how to use an iPad or tablet. Volunteer tutors are needed for the new program in Blind Bay as well as for the existing program in Salmon Arm.

The computer program adds an important component to the slate of services provided by the Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre such as foot care, massage, frozen meals, seniors lun-cheons, hearing tests, income tax preparation, seniors shopping and transportation and support groups.

If you are interested becoming involved with the Blind Bay or Salmon Arm Cyber Seniors program as a volunteer tutor, please contact Jennifer Findlay, Literacy Outreach Coordinator, at 250-833-2095 or admin@shuswapliteracy.ca.

By Jill GowardIn less than five weeks the Notch Hill Town

Hall will be buzzing with local businesses show-casing their products and services at the first-ev-er Trade and Business Show. What a unique opportunity to see what is available in our com-munity! This is not a craft show, nor is it a Farmers Market. We already have those in Sorrento/Notch Hill. This is an exhibition for those businesses that may be operated from the owners home or on the road.

So, come on down to the Hall at 1639 Notch Hill Road on Saturday, October 3, from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. for an amazing show of local entrepreneurs and ideas.

We are happy to showcase the following types of services and products: alternative health care; online delivery; chemical-free cleaners; home & fashion accessories; automotive care & mainte-nance; specialty foods; extraordinary beverages; seniors care; financial planning; beauty care; business development; and more.

These presenters will be happy to talk to you about themselves.

The ladies of the hall will be selling tea, cof-fee, muffins, cookies, soup and buns, so please come and enjoy a few moments of insight and pride.

For more information, call Lynn at 250-253-5404 or Jill at 250-675-2734.

For the past eight years the Riverfront Pub & Grill have been hosting a poker run and donating the proceeds to local charities. Last year they raised $1300 for the Grindrod Elementary School. This years run will be held on Sunday, September 20th and the organizers would like to support the community of Rock Creek that has been devastated by wildfire.

The original Riverfront Pub suffered a total loss to fire in 2008, and the owners are familiar with the struggle of getting back on ones feet after such a loss.

Funds will be raised through the Poker Run with the charging of an entry fee. There will also be a silent auction, and they are seeking addi-tional items to help raise even more funds. Any funds or items from you or your company would be greatly appreciated.

If you are able to donate an item please let the folks at the pub know prior to Sept. 17th. Please contact Julie at 250 803-8851 or email street-gliden@gmail.com. The Riverfront Pub can be reached at 250 838-7261 or riverfrontpub@hot-mail.com. www.riverfrontpub.ca

Health and wellness

COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

familychiropractic

Its a safe bet that nearly every person prefers good health over sickness and dis-ease; however, it is surprising how many people do not clearly understand what exactly TRUE health and wellness means. Some think they are healthy if they feel good, or if they dont have to take any medi-cations, or do not have a disease. Many other individuals have a great understanding of true health and well-ness, and constantly strive towards this goal in every habit,

activity and lifestyle choice.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmi-ty. The National Wellness Association defines wellness as an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more suc-cessful existence.

One of my main goals in writing these articles is to expand our communitys con-

sciousness of what is true health and well-ness and how to achieve it. Another one of my goals is to help people under-stand wellness is a lifelong journey and is not achieved through a single event. When one has a good under-standing of the above definitions of true health and wellness, they have made the first important step towards such goals.

Chiropractic is lead-ing the wellness revo-lution because we focus on maximizing the potential of the most important part of the body the nervous system. By reducing/removing subluxation (nerve interference caused by toxins, trau-mas or thoughts), our body is better equipped to properly adapt to our environment pro-viding an ideal foun-dation to improve our physical, mental, emo-tional, and spiritual well being. Combined with an individuals conscious practice of a healthy lifestyle, true health and wellness is attainable.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiro-practor who can be reached a t Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

The hunting season was 2012. My partners and I had waited anx-iously for our moose hunting draw for weeks, and finally were suc-cessful for one animal. It was west of Nasko, Region 5-13-A. It was a non-motorized zone, meaning no ATVs, quads etc. We had hunted there for a number of seasons with draws. We had purchased our licenses, tags, supplies, and equip-ment, and finally arrived at our old familiar camp.

We noticed the absence of moose that first morning out, with lots of quad tracks and wolf sign present. It was going to be a hard hunt. The second afternoon, with rifles stored away, and a bit of refreshment in hand, we heard the sound of approaching quads. Coming into camp on new Honda 400 quads were two Native hunters. They had a large camp set up, with groups hunting the beautiful meadows and trails for moose.

On leaving empty-handed, our small group were left scratching our heads as how this could be happening, as we passed a pile of nine heads, hides, and leg bones at the edge of the main road. Its

called communal hunting, and is a political term that wildlife man-agers use to mean unregulated hunting.

With a growing Native popula-tion, and more hunters out there come fall, and into winter, its a major concern for the guy who has a growing family and wants to fill the freezer.

Under Sec. 35 of our constitu-tion, Aboriginals were given the right to hunt, fish, and trap at any time. The Supreme Court has also ruled that Natives can also hunt at night using lights. This stems from a court case from Vancouver Island. Historically, many tribes exchanged harvested game ani-mals for salmon and eulachon (small oily fish), oil, etc, so the tradition is ongoing, but the amount of Aboriginal harvest of deer, elk, and moose is increasing at an alarming rate; and with land claim issues forthcoming, hunters are now advised, for example, to avoid moose hunting (LEH draws) in portions of 5-3, 5-4, 5-5. for the 2015 season.

Regarding their moose popula-tion, the province of Manitoba is in crisis mode, according to a recent article in Outdoor Canada Magazine by Dr. Vince Crichton, who recently retired after 40 years with Manitoba Conservation on water stewardship. Aboriginal, Metis, and white hunters, com-bined with increased road access, GPS technology, ATVs, 4x4s, and the whole gamut, have combined to reduce moose numbers. Back about 1930, the federal govern-ment transferred the Natural Resources Act to the three prairie provinces. In that act, they will

manage all natural resources, including moose. In paragraph 13, it says if moose populations decline or are mismanaged, First Nations can conceivably sue government for not living up to that agreement.

Vinces take on the situation boils down to unregulated hunting. Could it be part of the equation here? Methinks so, as a recent arti-cle in BC Outdoors by Jesse Zeman, Access Chair for the BCWF in 2013, (go to www.bcoutdoors.com, pre season issue). The big picture is that, as the opportunity for BC resident hunt-ers favourite species (moose) declines, we can expect decreased funding for wildlife management. In 2012, resident moose hunter licenses and surcharges accounted for $778,480, and $194,620 to the Habitat Trust Fund. Others con-tributed little, yet enjoyed the spoils of the hunt and harvest. Its time all hunters, both aboriginal and white to sit down and plan a strategy, to begin focusing on whats best for our wildlife, mainly moose and elk, who are the main species at risk of decimation.

In the Cariboo region, 50% of all moose harvested are taken by Native hunters, as a prominent big game guide in the region explained. Native bands in those areas, includ-ing Williams Lake, are now con-cerned about moose populations, and are working with government and BCWF to resolve some issues. Meanwhile, my hunting partner and I have a draw for our old Nazko haunts come September l0. We know the outlook doesnt look good to bag our bull moose, but after all, its that incredible thrill of the hunt, scenery, and fall colours thats calling!

Here and there in the ShuswapHunting season is fast approach-

ing, with the junior/deer season started. Many of us can recall as kids that loved the outdoors, going out with Dad or Gramps for the first day of deer season. The smells of fall, the changing leaves, and the chill in the air; combined with great expectations!

For members and signed-in guests, the Salmon Arm Fish and Game Clubs new rifle range, including the archery range, is available for sighting in and prac-tice.

Salmon: Its possible there may be a pink simon opening next week, on the Thompson River at Spences Bridge. Will keep you posted. As well, the new proposed 3000 sqare mile Dasiqox tribal park west of Williams Lake, endorsed by both the Yunesitin/Xeni Gwetin First Nations.

This rain will help our forests and cool our lakes down, so you anglers can once again enjoy some great fall fishin. Get out there and get ater!

SASCU Credit Union staff held their annual fundraiser in August to raise funds for the local BC SPCA Shuswap Branch. The combined efforts of all four branches raised $820.

Our staff enjoy and have a strong commit-ment to supporting organizations that have a direct impact on our communities, says Sheri Hamilton, Associate Vice President Human Resources. The SPCAs work is enhancing the quality of life for animals in the Shuswap which is an important cause and SASCU is proud to be able to help them through this fundrais-er.

SASCU welcomed volunteers from the local BC SPCA Shuswap Branch who staffed tables outside

SASCU branches in July and August to raise funds and provide information on how everyone can make a difference in the lives of animals. The BC SPCA is a not-for-prof-it organization that pro-vides life-saving sup-port for domestic and farm animals in BC. For more info, go to www.bcspca/shuswap/ or visit the shelter at 5850 Auto Road SE during business hours: Tues.Sat. between 12:00 and 4:00 p.m.

Friday, September 4, 2015 Lakeshore News A5 www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

The hunting season was 2012. My partners and I had waited anx-iously for our moose hunting draw for weeks, and finally were suc-cessful for one animal. It was west of Nasko, Region 5-13-A. It was a non-motorized zone, meaning no ATVs, quads etc. We had hunted there for a number of seasons with draws. We had purchased our licenses, tags, supplies, and equip-ment, and finally arrived at our old familiar camp.

We noticed the absence of moose that first morning out, with lots of quad tracks and wolf sign present. It was going to be a hard hunt. The second afternoon, with rifles stored away, and a bit of refreshment in hand, we heard the sound of approaching quads. Coming into camp on new Honda 400 quads were two Native hunters. They had a large camp set up, with groups hunting the beautiful meadows and trails for moose.

On leaving empty-handed, our small group were left scratching our heads as how this could be happening, as we passed a pile of nine heads, hides, and leg bones at the edge of the main road. Its called communal hunting, and is a political term that wildlife manag-ers use to mean unregulated hunt-ing.

With a growing Native popula-tion, and more hunters out there come fall, and into winter, its a major concern for the guy who has a growing family and wants to fill the freezer.

Under Sec. 35 of our constitu-tion, Aboriginals were given the right to hunt, fish, and trap at any time. The Supreme Court has also ruled that Natives can also hunt at night using lights. This stems from a court case from Vancouver Island. Historically, many tribes exchanged harvested game ani-mals for salmon and eulachon (small oily fish), oil, etc, so the tradition is ongoing, but the amount of Aboriginal harvest of deer, elk, and moose is increasing at an alarming rate; and with land claim issues forthcoming, hunters are now advised, for example, to avoid moose hunting (LEH draws) in portions of 5-3, 5-4, 5-5. for the 2015 season.

Regarding their moose popula-tion, the province of Manitoba is in crisis mode, according to a recent article in Outdoor Canada Magazine by Dr. Vince Crichton, who recently retired after 40 years with Manitoba Conservation on water stewardship. Aboriginal, Metis, and white hunters, com-bined with increased road access, GPS technology, ATVs, 4x4s, and the whole gamut, have combined to reduce moose numbers. Back about 1930, the federal govern-ment transferred the Natural Resources Act to the three prairie provinces. In that act, they will

manage all natural resources, including moose. In paragraph 13, it says if moose populations decline or are mismanaged, First Nations can conceivably sue government for not living up to that agreement.

Vinces take on the situation boils down to unregulated hunting. Could it be part of the equation here? Methinks so, as a recent arti-cle in BC Outdoors by Jesse Zeman, Access Chair for the BCWF in 2013, (go to www.bcoutdoors.com, pre season issue). The big picture is that, as the opportunity for BC resident hunt-ers favourite species (moose) declines, we can expect decreased funding for wildlife management. In 2012, resident moose hunter licenses and surcharges accounted for $778,480, and $194,620 to the Habitat Trust Fund. Others con-tributed little, yet enjoyed the spoils of the hunt and harvest. Its time all hunters, both aboriginal and white to sit down and plan a strategy, to begin focusing on whats best for our wildlife, mainly moose and elk, who are the main species at risk of decimation.

In the Cariboo region, 50% of all moose harvested are taken by Native hunters, as a prominent big game guide in the region explained. Native bands in those areas, includ-ing Williams Lake, are now con-cerned about moose populations, and are working with government and BCWF to resolve some issues. Meanwhile, my hunting partner and I have a draw for our old Nazko haunts come September l0. We know the outlook doesnt look good to bag our bull moose, but after all, its that incredible thrill of the hunt, scenery, and fall colours thats calling!

Here and there in the ShuswapHunting season is fast approach-

ing, with the junior/deer season started. Many of us can recall as kids that loved the outdoors, going out with Dad or Gramps for the first day of deer season. The smells of fall, the changing leaves, and the chill in the air; combined with great expectations!

For members and signed-in guests, the Salmon Arm Fish and Game Clubs new rifle range, including the archery range, is available for sighting in and prac-tice.

Salmon: Its possible there may be a pink salmon opening next week, on the Thompson River at Spences Bridge. Will keep you posted. As well, the new proposed 3000 sqare mile Dasiqox tribal park wuest of Williams Lake, endorsed by both the Yunesitin/Xeni Gwetin First Nations.

This rain will help our forests and cool our lakes down, so you anglers can once again enjoy some great fall fishin. Get out there and get ater!

SASCU Credit Union staff held their annual fundraiser in August to raise funds for the local BC SPCA Shuswap Branch. The combined efforts of all four branches raised $820.

Our staff enjoy and have a strong commit-ment to supporting organizations that have a direct impact on our communities, says Sheri Hamilton, Associate Vice President Human Resources. The SPCAs work is enhancing the quality of life for animals in the Shuswap which is an important cause and SASCU is proud to be able to help them through this fundrais-er.

SASCU welcomed volunteers from the local BC SPCA Shuswap Branch who staffed tables outside

SASCU branches in July and August to raise funds and provide information on how everyone can make a difference in the lives of animals. The BC SPCA is a not-for-prof-it organization that pro-vides life-saving sup-port for domestic and farm animals in BC.

GORDON MACKIE OF SICAMOUS WAS OPPOSEDIN 1988 TO CONTROLLING LEVEL OF THE LAKE

The level of Shuswap Lake was so low in the latter 1980s that the Columbia Shuswap Regional District was looking into the possibility of stabilizing it. The Chase-Shuswap Weekly had a report in the April 26, 1988 issue of a meeting of the Sicamous and District Chamber of Commerce to discuss it. Thirty people were present, and it seemed like Sicamous residents felt the idea bordered on the ridiculous.

Presenting several options were CSRD board chairman George Abbott and administrator Eugene Lalonde. Houseboat operator Reg Janzen noted that presently tour-ists wait until July 15 when they know the waters have pretty well receded. If the waters arent allowed to recede, he said, visitors will wait until August to come.

Paddlewheeler Phoebe Ann operator Gordon Mackie also spoke strongly against the concept. It seems to me its akin to the idea of trying to control the rain. Shuswap Lake has been going in cycles for thousands of years. Its the jewel in the crown of lakes in British Columbia. Tampering with nature could change that, he said. George Abbott also spoke against the concept.

There was insufficient support for lake stabilization so the concept died.

This photo appeared in the April 12, 1988 issue of the Salmon Arm Observer, showing Joe Pelletier standing on the mudflat at the wharf.

A GATE NEAR SQUILAX BRIDGE ISTHE ANSWER TO WATER LEVEL PROBLEMS

Clare Indseth wrote a very long letter to the editor in the August 26, 1987 Salmon Arm Observer. In it, he and Jack Brooke submitted an idea that will enhance Salmon Arms recently completed wharf facility. They would like to see a control gate at the proposed new Squilax bridge that would allow fish to travel underneath. Clare ended the letter with: My personal experience with the Shuswap dates back to 1951, and uncontrolled and low water lev-els have always been a problem. We think a gate such as we propose is the answer. How about you?

PLAN TO DIVERT SHUSWAP LAKE THROUGHOKANAGAN LAKE RATHER THAN KAMLOOPS

In the 1960s, Okanagan Lake did not rise and fall like Shuswap Lake, which supposedly flushed 12 times a year from all the freshets coming from snow packs in the mountains, so a group in the Okanagan was formed to offer a solution: to drain Shuswap Lake by ditching through creeks along Enderby, Armstrong and Vernon. Fisheries was opposed.

In the Sept. 21, 1987 Sidewalk Superintendent column, I wrote: Tom Campbell of Celista was the president of

STRRADA, the organization which was going to fight diversion of Shuswap Lake to Okanagan Lake about 15 to 20 years ago. Tom said it would become active again to fight diversion, if necessary. The initials of the name stand for Shuswap Thompson River Research and Develop Association.

Tom bought property in Celista in 1949 because it was isolated. He feels the lake has too many tourists and he does not like the idea of raising the lake to the high-water level. I agreed with him, that raising the level of Shuswap Lake to high-water level would cover many of the sandy beaches which attract our tourists.

WHO WANTS MY LARGE ENVELOPE OF CLIPPINGS?In my constant downsizing and going through card-

board boxes, I am either recycling or giving away clip-pings and hand-written notes. Who would like the large envelope about the proposal to raise the level of Shuswap Lake? It has clippings, pictures and Eugene Lalondes study titled Shuswap Lake, lake level stabilization con-cept, plus plans of gates from Yukon and Alberta. Write me at sallys1@telus.net.

MEL ARNOLD IS BEING TARGETTED BY MEDIABefore I left for Alberta I heard a CBC Radio broad-

caster talking about arranging interviews with the four Federal Election candidates. He had interviewed three candidates and wanted the fourth. Mel Arnold was not available for the interview.

The other three candidates are not working, whereas Mel Arnold has a business, Complete Marine Detailing, with employees. He plans his time very carefully.

Mel Arnold is a lifetime resident of the Shuswap area, and a 1976 graduate from Salmon Arm Senior Secondary. For 25 years he has operated a business in the industrial park. He is a past-president of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, and was a Director of the Canadian Wildlife Federation. He belongs to the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce and Salmon Arm Rotary Club. I know him from the Shuswap Pro-Development Association where he has been a very capable president. Hes a great leader!

I VOTE ON PAST PERFORMANCEWhen I was a report/publisher for this newspaper for

31 years, I never interviewed a candidate for public office. I preferred to judge a person on past performance, and thats where I cast my vote. I do not attend all-candi-date forums.

Even now, when I manage rental apartments for absen-tee owners, I want to know how potential tenants treated past rentals. I do not ask how they plan to treat a lovely apartment they want to rent.

VERNON REPORTER DID NOT HAVE THE FACTSWhen I returned from Alberta, the headline Time to

get off the sidelines was in another local paper. Before writing the lengthy article, the reporter should have checked for facts.

His information was old. I checked with Linda Hawes, Mel Arnolds campaign manager, and she sent me the all-candidate forums where he will participate: Sept. 14, Vernon Performing Arts Centre; Sept. 16, Lumby Chamber of Commerce; Sept. 17, Salmon Arm Ch of C.; Sept. 22, Enderby Ch. of C.; Sept. 23, Armstrong Ch.of C.; Sept. 25: Vernon JCI; Sept. 30, Vernon Ch. of C.; Oct. 7, Sorrento Memorial Hall; Oct. 8, 5th Ave. Activity Centre, Salmon Arm.

Linda said Mel has already taken several interviews, from print and radio, and is scheduled for more. He wel-comes the opportunity to discuss those topics that are of interest to the wonderful people in this riding.

FREE ADMISSION TO IPE FOR OLD FOGEYSArmstrongs Interior Provincial Exhibition is being held

Sept. 2 to 6 this year, and seniors over 85 get in free! It is the 116th annual IPE and this year it salutes the dairy division with the theme Udderly Awesome Party til the Cows Come Home. Get details at www.armstrongipe.com

My favourites at the Armstrong fair are D Dutchmen ice cream cone, deep-fried bread called horse blankets, the petting zoo from Alberta that was at the Ukrainian Festival in Andrew recently, and the mooternity ward. Local beef and dairy farmers must decide whose cow is due to give birth during the fair, and bring several cows to the fenced mooternity ward. Im a former maternity nurse and it amaz-es me how quietly a cow delivers, and that there is no coach-ing or emotion by the farmer. No Push! Push! Now take a rest between contractions. Its a boy! or Its a girl!

GEOGRAPHY LESSON ABOUT ROCK CREEK Last week I wrote about the wild fire near Rock Creek

that burned 30 houses and said it was located at the south end of the Okanagan Valley, not far from the U.S. border. Alfred Schalm said he is keeping me on the straight and narrow, this time about Rock Creek.

He wrote: You can drive south in the Okanagan Valley all the way to the USA and never catch sight of Rock Creek. Rock Creek is in the same valley, or whatever that is, as is Midway but certainly NOT in the OK valley! You have to cross Anarchist Pass out of Osoyoos, pass Bridesville, then drop down into Rock Creek. Thanks, Al.

RAY BRAY WILL PRESIDE AT SEPT. 13 LITURGYSt. Johns Anglican Church in Salmon Arm lost a

beloved minister when Rev. Canon Ray Bray retired after serving from 1983 to 1995. He and wife Daphne moved to Enderby and have been attending the church there. On Sunday, Sept. 13, Ray will be the presider at the 10 a.m. Holy Eucharist service at St. Johns, and the Rt. Rev. James Cowan will be the preacher. Visit with Ray over refreshments in the hall downstairs following the service.

AH! JR A HOCKEY IS BACK AT SHAW CENTREI watched the second exhibition game and it was great to

see my friends. Some exchanged handshakes, others offered hugs. We watched the Silverbacks play and score and fight. Well watch them tonight, Friday Sept. 4 at 7 p.m. against West Kelowna. If you bought season tickets, you can use one of the exhibition tickets. If you didnt, you can get in for $5.

Our guys played very well against Vernon on Aug. 29 and won 6-1. The next evening they went to Vernon and won 4-3 in OT. The aim of the exhibition games is to give the coach-es time to reduce the number of players from 30+ to 22 by the first regular season game. I wouldnt have sent any of the players home from the game I watched. All were excellent!

Silverbacks 2015/16 regular season starts on Fri., Sept 11 at home vs Penticton. Both Askew stores sell tickets for $8, and are released 72 hours before game time. They go quick-ly!

Dad! Come here quick! my youngest Nate yelled.

The frantic sound in his voice made me jump up and run to his room. Was his arm stuck in a vent? Was there a mouse in his room?

Whats wrong? I asked.Its Duma! Look! Shes out-

side my window! he exclaimed.Being outside his window is

only an issue because Nates room is upstairs; meaning Duma had once again climbed up on the roof and couldnt get down.

So I opened his window, pulled out the screen and attempted to get her off the roof. As usual, she walked away from the window just beyond my reach. It took a while, but even-tually I coaxed her close enough to grab her.

I put her in the garage, but later that night she went back outside when I left to pick up my oldest from work. At the time I didnt think anything of it.

The night continued without

incident until the Junior Bean Counter came into our room at 2 a.m.

Dad! Dad! Its Duma! he whispered into my ear.

Roused out of a deep sleep, I jumped out of bed. Whats wrong? I gasped, my heart rac-ing.

Shes meowing right by my window! he replied.

Sure enough, she was again on top of the roof outside, but look-ing in the Junior Bean Counters window this time.

Duma! Whats wrong with you? I exclaimed. Dont you ever learn?

She just looked at me and meowed some more as if to say, Im a cat, I like to climb and you are paying way too much attention to that puppy!

So now I have a puppy in the midst of potty training and a cat with an inferiority complex. Here I thought raising kids was a challenge!

Salmon Arm, BC A new provincial grant helps families save for childrens post-sec-ondary educationif parents apply for it.

The British Columbia Training and Education Savings Grant (BCTESG) is a $1,200 one-time grant that needs to be applied for after the childs sixth birthday and before their ninth. The first day to apply for the new grant was August 15, 2015. Candy St. Pierre, Member Service Representative of SASCU Credit Union, advises parents to apply soon so it does not get missed.

The BCTESG is a great add-on to an existing Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP), says Candy. A new RESP can be opened and the one-time grant can be applied for at that time for eligible children.

The BCTESG is just one of the government grants available to boost RESP contributions. The Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) adds up to $500 per year, with additional funds provided for low income households.

Too many parents and their children are missing out on these grants just because they dont apply, says Candy. RESPs are not just for university-bound youth. Most col-leges and trade programs qualify. If the child does not pursue post-secondary education, the funds contributed by the family are returned.

Learn more at sascu.com/RESP, visit any SASCU branch and ask for the Your Guide to Understanding RESP brochure, or go to www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/resp-reee/.

A European flairAt Pure Flowers, Monique van Lindert says people

can expect fresh, unique flowers with a European flair.Many people know Monique from Uptown Askews

where she was working for the past three years. Now she has opened her own shop at #102 - 40 Lakeshore Drive, in the former Telus location. Her husband, Jan, (who works at Omega Engineering) made all the stores shelv-ing and counters from birch from their own property.

Monique can create flower bouquets or arrangements for every occasion and budget.

We do fresh flower arrangements for weddings, funer-als, celebrations of life, birthdays, anniversaries, events and celebrating newborns. I have bouquets for a small budget if you would like something fancy for a special dinner or corporate event, I can do that too.

Monique buys as much as she can from local growers and also buys fresh flowers from the flower auction in Burnaby two to three times a week. There are also home decor items, primarily related to flowers. Vases, candle holders and candles made in Europe; unique pieces from the DutZ Collection.

Before Monique worked at Uptown Askews, she worked in Whistler, arranging flowers for the lobbies and restaurants for many hotels like the Four Seasons and Fairmont hotel. She also did flowers for photo shoots, weddings, events and for special guests: Monique made a flower arrangement for Michael Buble and decorated the suite for Kevin Bieksa (Canuck player) with fresh flower Christmas arrangements.

Pure Flowers is open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. They deliver in Salmon Arm.

To contact Monique @ Pure Flowers phone 778-489-5110 or emailmonique@pureflowers.ca

Ready for hockey seasonBig Als House of Hockey is open in the retail location

at the Shaw Centre (formally Chevys).Al Novakowski (left) and Jim Neustaeter opened the

Pro Shop on August 4.Our emphasis is skate sharpening, says Jim, and we

have sticks, tape and equipment related to hockey. We also have some ringette supplies and will be talking with other minor sport leagues to see how we can service their

needs. Were looking to serve all the users of the Shaw Centre.

Jim ran the Sunnybrae Bible Camp for 15 years but he isnt a stranger to working with sports equipment.

My first job out of high school was in the Cedarvale Centre (now the Mall at Piccadilly) in the sporting goods department at Mainline Co-op.

Al also runs Abundant Specialty Advertising, the Promotional Products Business, out of this location.

We ran Abundant Specialty Advertising out of our house for the past 20 years. We are excited to now have a store front where clients can come and look at product samples and talk with us about their companys corporate needs. We do logo products for sport teams, schools and local businesses. We are very fortunate to work with some great clients like the City of Salmon Arm, Salmon Arm Minor Hockey, Dallas Stars, Western Hockey League, Sun Peaks, Jackson Hole Ski Resort and grad stuff for SASS. We put logos on coffee mugs, bags, pens and tons of other promotional giveaway products.

Both Jim and Al have a love of hockey and have played for years. Jim played minor hockey in Salmon Arm, and Al played in the BCHL, the NCAA, and the ECHL.

They say the one thing everyone will appreciate about coming into their shop is that they can expect great cus-tomer service.

We want to be known as the best skate sharpening in the Salmon Arm area, says Al. Whether you come in to get your skates sharpened, purchase a new set of shoulder pads, or just pop in to say hi, we want to have a fun place where everyone feels invited.

Innovation catalyst In 2013, Warren Welter (above) attempted to relocate

back to California after being a big part of Salmon Arm for 13 years.

Realizing that I missed the four seasons and the coun-try life, I returned in January and would like to be fully engaged in the commercial design sector again, says Warren.

Warren has his own business, Creatibility, where he defines himself as an innovation catalyst.

As an innovation catalyst I refer to what I do as messaging and collaborate with my clients to develop a visual voice that initiates an emotional engage-ment.

A few of his well-known works around town include the film reel graphic on the Salmar Classic Theatre, the apple sculptures outside SASCU downtown, the Turn of the Century highway sign at R. J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum, the pre-opening/site development signs at Askews Uptown, the Salmon Arm Recreation logo, and the re-branding of The Mall at Piccadilly.

Warren also volunteers for Voice of

the Shuswap Community Radio Station helping with marketing, promotions, and communication.

Warrens office is above the Salmar Classic Theatre, which he shares with Louise Wallace Richmond who owns Mediability Corporate Communications.

To contact Warren phone 250-803-1249 or visit his website at www.warrenwelter.com Exhibit held over

Salmon Arm Art Gallery Director/Curator Tracey Kutschker says she is very pleased the exhibit, Experiment in F# Minor, is being held over.

The artists, Janet Cardiff and George Bures-Miller, offered the extension because the next gallery to receive Experiment in F# Minor doesnt have its ship-out until the end of September. They saw what an amazing project we created with their work and theyre happy to see it here for another three weeks. The biggest benefit to us is that we can offer it as school tours to the teachers in the district. Its an incredible opportunity for large groups of kids to experience this.

Tracey says it is very exciting to have such contempo-rary internationally renowned artists in the gallery and it has also boosted tourism.

People came here from other cities for this exhibit, says Tracey. For downtown businesses, it was a bonus, because we got them into town, having lunch or coffee or even staying overnight.

Their exhibits, Experiment in F# Minor and the Muriel Lake Incident, will be at the gallery until September 19. The gallery is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday. Admission is by donation.

Letters to the EditorEver wonder about our cultures headlong rush

to burn up and exhaust (literally!) fossil fuels; heat up the climate; pre-empt and degrade natu-ral habitats, wiping out biodiversity; and gener-ally, (for us) to thrash about in the Earths pre-cious ecosystems like proverbial bulls in the china shop?

Well, if a prevailing cultures long-established assumptions and beliefs inform and drive that cultures actions and who could imagine that they do not? then the title of Hank Shelleys August 28th Lakeshore News column: OUR Forests, OUR Game Animals, unwittingly reveals the fundamental fallacy in our dysfunc-tional relationship with the natural world: name-ly, claiming that the Earth and all its wonders is exclusively ours, with all the entitlement, power, and ownership that ours implies. (The true meaning of our game animals is another, related matter!)

Even the Pope, in an amazing departure from his Churchs historically destructive adherence

to dominion over Nature, recently got it right! In his most recent Papal Encyclical (Laudato Si), he states, We have (incorrectly) grown up thinking that we were owners and dominators of the Earth, authorized to loot her.

I wonder how many citizens, political parties, fish and game clubs, and even environmental groups subscribe to this progressive, explicit challenge to the ownership business-as-usual ethic?

Clearly, the sooner we understand, respect and live within the realities of natural systems and their ecologies, and not just selfishly exploit them as owners, the better off well be for the future.

(I enjoy many of Hanks columns, by the way, particularly those describing, often humorously, the pioneer days of the Shuswap; and I enjoyed his critique of wasteful forest practices that he details in the recent News column.)

By Tom Fletcher, Black PressThe new school year in B.C. is the start of a

three-year transition to a new curriculum that Education Minister Mike Bernier says will emphasize hands-on learning.

The new curriculum is being phased in this year for Kindergarten to Grade 9, with higher grades still in development. Bernier said this year it will be up to local school districts and teach-ers to begin implementing it before it becomes mandatory in the fall of 2016. Grade 10-12 curriculum is to be mandatory in 2017.

Bernier, the Peace River South MLA appointed education minister this summer, said hes heard from teachers who are looking forward to a curriculum that allows more flexibility and individual learning. He stressed that basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic will remain, but students will also be taught life skills, communication, collaboration and critical thinking.

Two areas of emphasis for the new curricu-lum are environmental education and an aborig-inal perspective, which Bernier said will be present in every single component in the cur-riculum. Local schools are encouraged to work with aboriginal communities across the province to represent the full diversity of aboriginal experience, he said.

Hands-on learning is already in place in schools, and Bernier used the example of a shop teacher in his home town of Dawson Creek who encouraged students at risk of drop-ping out to take his course. They learned math-ematics and physics through taking motors apart and reassembling them, he said.

Bernier invited parents to look for themselves at grade-by-grade documents posted at curriculum.gov.bc.ca, listing learning stan-dards and areas of emphasis.

In the science curriculum, for example, students are to be taught big ideas that in grade one include observable patterns and cycles occur in the local sky and landscape.

By Grade 8, they are to learn that Earth and its climate have changed over geological time.

Science competencies required by grade seven include the ability to exercise a healthy, informed skepti-

cism and use scientific knowledge and findings for their own investigations to evaluate claims in secondary sources such as media reports.

By that time they should be able to identify possible sources of error in their investigations, understand qualitative and quantitative evi-dence and demonstrate an an awareness of assumptions and bias in their own work and secondary sources.

On Saturday August 29th the Sorrento Village Farmers Market experienced the wrath of Mother Nature. For 23 chaotic minutes the Vendors and Shoppers were subjected to gusting winds that wreaked havoc through-out the Market, lifting tents off the ground and sending Vendor goods cartwheeling down the market corridor and parking lot. Thankfully no one was hurt but many Vendors suffered losses to goods and their tents. The Vendors of the Sorrento Village Farmers Market would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to all the shoppers, passers-by, employees and owners of the businesses in the Shoppers Plaza who jumped into action to offer help and support in our urgent time of need. We truly appreciated your efforts. A special thank you goes out to the Gal who took tents home for Sue from Notch Hill Organics so she could assist other Vendors, and the lovely couple who pulled off the highway when they saw tent legs flying in the air and jumped in to offer help. We didnt get your names but Thank you so much. We live in a wonderful community and it was clearly evident in the actions displayed.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Volunteering is a great way for people to give back to their communities. Its also a great way for parents to instill character in their children.

When kids volunteer, they learn lessons about responsibility while also learning how enjoyable it can be to help the less fortunate. Kids who vol-unteer early in life are more likely to do so throughout their lives, and that lifetime of service can be invaluable. The right volunteering oppor-tunity for a child often depends on the childs age, as some opportunities are better suited to younger children while others are tailor-made for teenag-ers. The following are a few age-appropriate ideas that can help get kids excited about volunteering and giving back to their neighborhoods.

Elementary school children: When kids reach elementary school, parents should introduce them to volunteering. Volunteering activities for school-aged kids should be simple, such as accompany-ing their parents to food banks where kids can help feed the homeless and less fortunate. Kids with grandparents living in assisted living facili-ties can read to residents at the facility or bring them homemade arts and crafts or even foods they helped prepare (just be sure to clear any items with the facilitys medical staff before distribut-ing). These tasks are simple, and kids wont feel nervous when accompanied by Mom and Dad.

Middle school children: When kids reach mid-dle school, they might not feel its necessary for Mom and Dad to tag along as much. This is per-fectly alright, and its a great time for kids to branch out and choose some volunteer activities

of their own. Instead of accompanying kids to the food bank, let them work a shift on their own. Kids who have been volunteering since early childhood might have some volunteering goals of their own by the time they reach middle school, so dont insist they continue with current activities if theres something else sparking their interest. Kids might want to help an elderly neighbour around the house, such as shopping for groceries or taking care of their property. Encourage such ideas, and expect kids to want to exercise some independence when they reach middle school.

High school students: High school students tend to have busy schedules, but those who have been volunteering since childhood will likely find a way to continue doing so. Teenagers tend to have more specific interests than younger chil-dren, and parents can encourage teens to incorpo-rate those interests into their volunteering. For example, kids who love sports might be able to work with the local sports and recreation centre to coach younger athletes. Or kids who excel in the classroom can tutor younger students. Volunteering can look good on a high school students resume when the time comes to apply for college, but parents should be careful that their high school-aged children dont stretch themselves too thin with extracurricular activities. Encourage volun-teering but not at the expense of schoolwork.

Many children embrace volunteering, especial-ly when given the chance to choose how they want to give back to their communities and the less fortunate.

Just over 75 years ago, about 20 men got together in the rooftop gardens of a hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to just sing for fun. They enjoyed the experience so much that the Barbershop Harmony Society was formed, and it has now become the worlds greatest hobby, as well as the worlds largest all-male singing association, with members participating in Barbershop Harmony on every continent the world over.

For over 75 years now, the Barbershop Harmony Society has made tremendous strides in their music learning techniques, so the ability to readily read music is not really necessary. All that is need-ed is the desire to sing together with a fun bunch of guys!

Mount Ida Harmony is hoping to increase their numbers by holding auditions for admission.

So men, if you are over 14 years old, and if you like to sing in the shower, youll love singing together with Mount Ida Harmony. Come by on Thursday, September 17th, 7:00 p.m. at the Community Room at Askews Uptown Store. No obligations, no commitments, and no strings attached.

If you have any questions, please contact Ron Long at 250-822-1972.

SPORTS & LEISURE

Last spring, the Columbia-Shuswap Selkirks and Salmon Arm Waves Masters Swimming Clubs joined together to seek a new coach. Up until then, both teams had had capable coaches; Dr. John Hogg for the Masters and Carl Cooper for the Youth. However, at the end of last season, Dr. Hogg retired and Carl Cooper was hired as the District Superintendent of Innovation and Instruction. As a result of their search, Mr. Barry Healey was hired to take on the job of coaching both teams.

Barry started out swimming at a young age, swimming for his school and at a county level. He started coaching in the UK and had swimmers swim for England in his first year. In 1975 he moved to Canada, where coaches were being sought from all over the world. In Canada, he holds NCCP Level 3, and has coached in five provinces. Hes coached swimmers on national tour teams, and some of his ath-

letes have gone on to the Commonwealth Games, World Champs and the Olympics. In 2004, he won the contract to provide all the services for the Canadian Olympic and ParaOlympic Teams in Kos, Greece.

Swimming is one of the few sports you can do all your life, says Healey. If you want just to get fit, I feel its one of the best sports there is. If you are a parent with young children, swimming is a sport to consider. Taking part improves health, time management skills, understanding how to work hard to get results, how to be part of a team. He says that most swimmers do very well at school because they can stay focused, and they also develop great com-munication skills.

I love developing athletes, not only to become good at sport, but to take the skills into school, college and later, university and the work place, says Healey. I enjoy working as a team to try and get athletes to

become the very best they can be. I like to empower athletes to make choices and set goals that will challenge themselves.

Barry would like to bring in more swim-ming competitions at the pool, and he would also like to start an I Can Swim program, the National Swimming Skills program for Swim Canada. He has coached open water swimmers and triathletes, and would like to expand training in this area; he feels that the lake here would be an ideal place to train, and would promote this region.

The swimmers in both clubs are thrilled to have Barry Healey join them. I have been coaching for a long time now, he says, and still learn new things every day.

For more information on the Columbia-Shuswap Selkiris, email Sandy Little at registrar@selkirk-swimming.club. For information on the masters club, email Lori Roy at theroys@telus.net.
