I have noticed over the last month while driving around town that pedestrians often can be seen walking on the roads, as many of the sidewalks are either
Frederica and André Jotterand are the lucky winners in the random draw of all the people who were entered the
‘Travels To’ winner
completely buried or have become so icy that they are treacherous to walk on. This seems to occur quite commonly in the areas around both malls, as pedestrians make their way to and from their shopping. Even though the city and residents do their best to keep the side-walks clear, sometimes the winter weather makes it near impossi-ble to achieve. As well as foot traffic, often the mobility scooters are being forced onto the roadways as their little wheels don’t do well on snow, making it impos-sible for the (usually) elderly driver to get through on the side-walk. A caution to all vehicle drivers – please be alert and take care when driving past these people as we don’t want to see anyone get hurt.
For those people who want to walk to get some exercise, there are several alternatives to risking injury by walk-ing on the roads. Shaw Centre allows walkers to walk around inside above the seating, and it is safe and warm.
For those who prefer to stay outdoors while walking, I would rec-ommend the purchase
of a set of ice grippers that fit onto boots to make it safe to walk on the ice.
I took a nice walk out from the wharf to the wildlife sanctu-ary not too long ago, and although the path had some slip-pery sections, I really enjoyed the beautiful
views. I often photo-graph there and notice people taking strolls along the path enjoying the views and sites of nature as well. If you do choose to take this walk remember that there are no dogs allowed in the nature park.
Whenever I walk in this park, commonly referred to by locals as the bird sanctuary, I like to peer carefully between the cattails and watch the many differ-ent types of birds as they move around amongst them. Even in the dead of winter there is often movement among the dry foliage and a short wait usually reveals a small bird flit-ting about enjoying itself. To me it is always uplifting to watch these little creatures as they go about their day seemingly at peace with with the world around them.
At one point along the path there are sever-al trees that one or more busy beavers have gnawed to the ground. I also like to stop several times while walking this path to enjoy the spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains. No matter

Lakeshore News Travels To Contest for 2013.
The Jotterands trav-eled to the Republic of Panama in February 2013. From Panama City (where Frederica is pictured above) they traveled extensively through the country and ended up in Bocas del Toro, on the Caribbean side. They preferred the places at higher eleva-tion such as Altos del Maria, El Valle de Anton and Boquete.
They found Panama City to be a little disap-pointing because the heat and the intense noise of the traffic. Nevertheless, the six-hour tour on the Canal and two locks was a highlight.
As the grand prize winner for 2013 the Jotterands receive $20.
what time of year I go, there is always some-thing new and won-drous to look at and appreciate. We are very lucky to have this area to walk in and savour and if you are looking for a safe place to walk where you won’t have to worry about getting run over by a vehicle you might try this intriguing walk, but once again, I would rec-ommend high traction footwear.
Another path that is safe from traffic is the one around McGuire Lake. As a photogra-pher I enjoy the various colours such as the
bright red berries that can be seen several places along the path, as well as the oranges and browns that contrast so nicely against the snow and ice of the lake itself. The path is an excellent way to get exercise and fresh air without having to worry about getting run over. Take the time to get outdoors if you can and enjoy the beau-ty that we have in our area and soon enough, spring will come again.

By Ted HillaryThe annual Salmon Arm Christmas Bird Count
was successfully held on Sunday December 22, 2013. There were 27 participants in 8 teams active-ly searching in a 24 kilometre circle around Salmon Arm. In addition, there were 9 people counting all the birds at their backyard feeders. The weather for the most part was cooperative, with temperatures around freezing and with good visibility.
75 species of birds were seen on the count day. In addition, 2 other species were observed during the count week, for a total of 77 species. These numbers are a high average for the Salmon Arm count.
In total 5517 individual birds were counted. This is below average, probably because the Salmon Arm Bay was mostly frozen over. Also, many birds had left the area during the cold weather in the previous weeks.
The most common bird was the European star-ling with 870 birds. This was followed in numbers with 539 mallards and 492 pigeons. Forty red tailed hawks were counted, an unusually high number. Other high counts were 44 Eurasian Collared doves and 122 Northern Flickers
There were 4 varieties of owls seen, including 8 Northern Pygmy Owls, a high number for this area. A Great Gray owl posed for pictures in the Larch Hills area, much to the excitement of the observers. The other species of owls were a Short-Eared Owl close to the mouth of the Salmon River, and 2 Great Horned Owls near the end of North Broadview.
A couple of rarities were seen, both only record-ed once before in the past 25 years of the Christmas Bird Count. Two Snow Buntings were seen in the Tappen area. This is a rare winter visitor and sent the observers to their bird books in order to make a positive identification. The other rare bird for this time of year was a Dunlin, a small shore bird. It was feeding with some ducks in a small lead in the

Every year it is the anticipation of seeing something rare which
Bird count resultshelps motivate birders to do the annual count. There is also real value in having this annual record as it is a good indicator on how our environment is faring.
Families are invited to come to the Salmon Arm GM dealership on Saturday, January 11th at 1:00 p.m. to help kick off this year’s children’s book drive.
The goal is to collect gently used children’s books and “jam” them in the back of the GM. The books will then be sorted and distributed to local
children’s organizations. Donations can also be made at any of the follow-ing locations: Salmon Arm GM – for the month of January; the Mall at Piccadilly – from January 27 to February 2; and at the Sicamous Eagles Game on Sunday, February 2.

Last week I summarized the “Dirty Dozen” fruits and vegetables that should be only purchased in organic. They are called the dirty dozen because they have been found to have the highest concentrations of danger-ous pesticides when grown conven-tionally. This week I want to provide the list the USA-based Environmental Working Group (www.ewg.org) labelled as the “Clean Fifteen.”
This list consists of 15 fruits and vegetables that the EWG has found to have the lowest levels of pesticides when they are grown conventionally and are safer to consume when not organic.
The EWG did not rank these in any specific order, but they are as fol-lows:
As you can see, many of the fruits and vegetables on this list have heavi-er skins or peels which prevent a lot of the chemicals from being absorbed into the edible portion. Despite this
protective layer, it is still advised to hand-wash them before cutting or serving.
In the past 2 articles I have just focussed on the topic of limiting your exposure to pesticides. I have not touched on the topic of genetical-ly-modified foods. This topic is an extremely controversial and one that elicits strong opinions from most people. My recommendations are to avoid them whenever possible. The research on GMO safety (when it is unbiased and not done by the compa-nies selling GMO seeds or pesticides) is suggesting there are health risks with consuming these unnatural foods.
As mentioned last week in my “Dirty Dozen” article, in an ideal sit-uation it would be nice to be able to afford to only eat 100% organic foods to ensure your toxin exposure is min-imized. However, if you find your grocery budget does not allow for you to purchase only organic fruits and vegetables, the above 15 are foods the EWG suggests are the safer foods when they are grown conven-tionally.

Blackstrap molasses is an extract obtained by repeatedly boiling sugar cane. After the third boil of the sugar syrup, the majority of sucrose from the original sugar cane juice gets crystallized and this results in blackstrap molasses. Though this form is still mostly sugar by calories, this molasses is healthier then other natural sweeteners, as it is loaded with nutrients. Other sweeteners like sugar, artificial sweeteners like aspartame and saccharine lack nutrients. So molasses is a natural healthier sweetener compared to other sweeteners.
Blackstrap molasses is rich in manganese, iron, copper potassium, calcium magnesium, vitamin B6, and selenium. One tablespoon of blackstrap molasses provides up to 20% of the daily recom-mended nutrients. Moreover, blackstrap molasses provides more iron for fewer calories and is totally fat-free. Two teaspoons contains not more than 32 calories.
Blackstrap molasses is a very good source of calcium. Again just two teaspoonfuls will provide 11% of your daily recommended intake of calcium, 14% of copper, 18% of manganese and 10% of potassium. This molasses is the best type of sweet-ener for menstruating women, as just two tea-spoons of blackstrap molasses will provide up to 13.3% of the daily recommended in take of iron.
When looking for this molasses in the stores, look for organic molasses made from organic sug-arcane and one that does not contain sulphur. It should be stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place. After the container is opened, it is usual-ly good for up to six months. Blackstrap is sold at our local grocery stores like Askew’s and can often be found in health food stores.
Switching to this form of sweetener from refined sugar would be one simple way to a healthier eat-ing habit. Make sure you still watch you sugar intake. For those with a sweet tooth, but who have to watch calories, this is a win-win formula. Be sweet, healthy and happy.

City Councillors are responding to articles ques-tioning the Ross St. Underpass land lease proposal, a plan to begin spending $330,000 of our tax dol-lars on a project with a final price tag of $9 million. They seem to have three primary concerns.
The first is that the current train track crossing is “a barrier to tourist and local traffic.” Perhaps, but how serious is this “barrier”? No one on Council asked this question before unanimously endorsing the proposal. We checked actual train frequencies and wait times, and found there is no barrier for 9 of 10 trips because no train is in the crossing. The other 10% of the time there is a wait of five min-utes or less. Is this a problem requiring a $9 million solution?
“The number one concern is safety.” As we have pointed out, a maximum wait of 5 minutes 10% of the time is less unsafe than other areas of the city that are more than 5 minutes away from a fire hall or ambulance dispatch – all the time. Next year, Fire Chief Brad Shirley will produce a map of the city showing areas more than 10 minutes from a fire hall. Perhaps then the Mayor and Council will shift their safety concerns from the waterfront to these less-served neighbourhoods.
“Approving spending up to $330,000 now doesn’t mean we’re committed to a $9 million underpass.” True, but we’re being asked to accept Council spending tax dollars with little or no infor-mation on why it is needed, how it would affect the downtown, where the $9 million would come from, or how it will affect other spending priorities and our taxes.
Although poorly publicized, Salmon Arm voters have been given the opportunity to visit City Hall before 4:00 p.m. Friday, January 10th to sign an Elector Response form to vote against this propos-al. Even if you don’t make this deadline, if you think that this plan is as ill-considered as we do, you can still let Council know that it’s their respon-sibility to be informed–and inform you–when spending large amounts of your money.
Bill Remphrey, on behalf of CASSSA, Salmon Arm
CASSSA replies to concernsLetters to the Editor
Shame on you for try-ing to gamble with tax-payers’ money!
After reading the terms of the proposed lease between the City of Salmon Arm and Laird Holdings Ltd. it appears to me that Council is attempting to sneak the acquisition of land for the proposed underpass in through the “back door” instead of including the land purchase in a referen-dum on the underpass. Artificial deadlines have been created to give the appearance of urgency in order to pass this piece of legislation. When the Council of the day delayed a deci-sion on the underpass until 2014 it was to revisit the circumstanc-es, which may lead to the construction of an alternate crossing, not necessarily to build it.
Council knew this date was coming but made no attempt to and has had 10 years to compile, consult and inform the citizens with verifiable data, not “guesstimates” of con-ditions that may war-
rant this project. It has done none of the above!
After visiting this site I find that there is suffi-cient land for any con-struction, staging, etc. Section 38 (1) of the Community Charter allows for the tempo-rary closure of roads by the City for such a pur-pose. There is no need to lease this land! As for the need for a parking lot, the City has recent-ly sold two parking lots. As far as the areas of Statutory Right of Ways, the City can expropriate the neces-sary lands needed under the Development Permit process. There is no need to lease (rent) this land for 10 years, etc. for $350,000.00 and end up with nothing to show for it. Include the purchase of the land needed in the referen-dum and start being honest with the people of Salmon Arm.
The Mayor and Council are gambling that taxpayers’ apathy and confusion will allow this ”backroom” deal to proceed.
Suppose it does pro-
ceed, and when all the pertinent information is gathered and it is deter-mined that an underpass at this location is not the best option for access across the tracks and the referendum fails? According to the terms of this agreement as it is now written the taxpayers and future Councils will be on the hook for 10 years pay-ing rent for a piece of land they didn’t need in the first place. This Council has failed to address the necessary safeguards, on behalf of the citizens of this com-munity, by not tying this lease contract to the passage or failure of passage of a referen-dum on the underpass.
Pull this piece of leg-islation immediately and give the community the honesty and good government it deserves.

By Jordan Dick2013 was a pivotal
year for our Jazz Club. With Sandy leaving us for warmer weather, and the need for us to find a new home; it proved to be quite a challenge. We made it through though. We found a great new venue at Shuswap Chefs, had some great concerts, purchased a PA, a drumkit (thanks to Jim Johnson and Okanagan College), and some music stands.
All in all; a good year. Some things to look for-ward to in 2014 include the Morgan Childs Quintet, a visit from
A new year for jazz fansSandy Cameron and Aged to Perfection, Tunnel 6 (an interna-tional collective), New York-based, Winnipeg-born drummer Curtis
Nowosad, as well as some more incredible local groups and inevi-tably one of mine. It’s going to be a great year!
Concerts are held on
Thursdays evenings at Shuswap Chefs. For more information about the club and upcoming performances, visit jazzsalmonarm.ca.

SALMON ARM IS THE BEST PLACE FOR CHRISTMASWhat a pleasant surprise to see a picture of Salmon Arm on
the front page of the Dec. 23rd Vancouver Province. It showed many of the 1,000 people packed in the Lordco park-ing lot, looking at the entertainers on the CPR Holiday Train. The huge headline above it said SANTA’S TOWN. In smaller print underneath: People in Salmon Arm celebrate Christmas like nowhere else in B.C.
SAM COOPER SAYS IT’S A BEAUTIFUL TOWNPage 2 had three pictures and Page 3 had one picture and
an article by Sam Cooper. The publicity was worth a million dollars! I emailed a thank you to writer Sam Cooper on behalf of Salmon Arm and he replied: “Hi Sally, thanks for your email. It is a beautiful town with warm people. Hopefully stays that way for decades to come!”
As a student journalist, Sam had interned at the Salmon Arm Observer for four months in 2005, so he knows the town. “My family also has owned a cabin in Celista for over 50 years, so I have deep roots in the Shuswap.”
CRAIG PULSIFER ASSIGNED AS PHOTOGRAPHERPhotographer Craig Pulsifer said it was an honour to be
assigned by an editor of the Province to take pictures, with the Holiday Train as the focus. He submitted dozens of images of local landmarks, businesses and townsfolk. For the Haney Heritage shot, he felt it needed a person so he set the camera on a tripod, called the family dog and did a self-portrait. www.craigpulsifer.com
DELI ACROSS FROM ART GALLERY IS IN PHOTOCookie Langenfeld, president of the downtown business
association, was interviewed. Sam Cooper phoned her at Culinary Inspirations, a week before the article came out on Dec. 23 and said he was writing about Salmon Arm for the Province. She was busy serving customers her gourmet and specialty foods and answered his questions as best she could. He was very patient. She thought it would be in the Living section.
Every morning Cookie buys newspapers for her deli cus-tomers to read. She was ecstatic when she saw the front page of the Province! It had a huge picture of people watching and listening to entertainers on the CPR Holiday Train. “What a great plug for our community,” she said.
Google: Salmon Arm best place for Christmas.CREDIT UNION REBRANDS ITS NAME
The Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union was rebranded in 2012 and is now doing business as SASCU Credit Union. It has two branches in Salmon Arm: Downtown and Uptown, one in Sorrento and one in Sicamous. Membership stands at 18,825.
FREE USE OF SASCU’S MEETING ROOMThe Salmon Arm Uptown Branch of SASCU Credit
Union, which opened beside Askew’s Uptown on September 3, 2013, has a meeting room that is available for local orga-nizations to use at no charge. It is called the Community
Orchard Room. The eligibility guidelines are standard with those of other credit unions which offer a community room.
Sherri Funfer, SASCU’s marketing administrator, wrote: “As part of our Community Sponsorship Program, we pro-vide the room to local non-profit, registered charities/societ-ies, service groups or sports teams. It requires at least two weeks’ notice.”
The application form is on the website, www.sascu.com. Drag down In Our Community and click on Community Orchard Room. Read the guidelines, then print and deliver, or submit the form by email.
ON DECEMBER 23rd THE CITY OF SALMON ARMWAS PACKED WITH PRE-CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS
It was so different from one year ago, because Zellers in Piccadilly had closed on August 1, 2012. Last year many people in the Revelstoke-Shuswap area did the majority of their Christmas shopping in Vernon or Kamloops because each had a Walmart. On Dec. 23rd our stores were packed with shoppers!
On December 24 they were not as busy as the day before but that is typical. The busiest on Christmas Eve day was Askew’s downtown. Probably because shoppers were famil-iar with the displays and didn’t mind bumping into other carts in the narrow aisles, they enjoyed meeting old friends who were home for the holidays, and they could shop in other stores downtown and do their banking.
SHUSWAP SINGERS STARTED REHEARSALSGeoff Benson, president of Shuswap Singers, invites you to
join the community choir, especially if you are a tenor or soprano. Thursday evening weekly rehearsals began yester-day at 7 p.m. at the Salvation Army New Hope Community Church. The choir is commencing its sixth decade. According to history on its website, three of the original members of the choir are still singing with it: Clara Anderson, Tom Brighouse and Bert Revel. www.shuswapsingers.ca
VIC BATES WAS THRILLED WITH YOUR TRIBUTESDeveloper and businessman Vic Bates died of cancer at 9
a.m. on Friday, Dec. 20, when Lakeshore News came out containing my column with many tributes to him. The tributes had been read to him by his wife Alice, who said he was thrilled! If you were away and didn’t read that issue, go to www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca, click on Sidewalk Superintendent and scroll down to the archived Dec. 20 column.
REVELSTOKE RESIDENTS: WANT THIS COLUMN?Once a week I send my column by email to 40 people who
have some connection to Salmon Arm and want to keep in touch. Lakeshore News is delivered to Revelstoke one Friday a month. If you enjoy this column in that issue, write to me at [email protected] and request having the column sent to you every week.
EMPTYING MY FREEZER OVER THE HOLIDAYSI decided not to add any more food to my freezer until I
have eaten all the frozen soups, stews, fruits, etc. Some were
more than a year old. I hardly shopped for groceries for a few weeks. How is your freezer or freezing compartment? Are you a food hoarder?
WHEAT BELLY AUTHOR COMES TO THE OKANAGANSome of my friends had a great improvement in their health
and lost their belly after reading Wheat Belly. It was written by Dr. William Davis, a former cardiologist who confines his practice to prevention and reversal of coronary disease in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He also produced the Wheat Belly Cookbook in which he advises eating more healthy whole grains.
Dr. Davis and dietician Julie Daniluk, bestselling author of Meals That Heal Inflammation, will be in Vernon on Thurs., Jan. 23. Doors open at 6:30, presentations from 7 to 9:30. Tickets are $40 available at www.okinhealth.com/events.
The two will not be promoting a diet. This is a movement called the Wheat Free Lifestyle. There is no product to buy. Simply eliminate wheat and enjoy the instant benefits to your health and feeling of well-being.
KHORASAN, AN ANCIENT GRAIN FROM MIDDLE EASTI boiled a 750-gram bag of Khorasan wheat and made koo-
tia, a dish served by Ukrainians during the Christmas season. The grain is grown in Armstrong and Lumby and is cleaned and packaged by Fieldstone Organics on Schubert Road out-side Armstrong. It was so clean! When I was a child on a farm outside Watson, Sask., we children had to pick out the weed seeds from wheat my father brought from a granary. Mother boiled the hard red wheat on the wood stove for four hours, till every kernel split and was soft.
Khorasan didn’t take four hours to cook, and the soft kernels were delicious when eaten by themselves! I mixed them with a syrup of water, honey and ground poppy seeds and enjoyed the kootia so very much. I froze it in meal-sized containers and will enjoy it for weeks.
To see the other organic products that are available, go to www.fieldstoneorganics.ca. They can be purchased locally at the following retail outlets, according to the website: It’s All Good in Blind Bay, IGA and Stocking-Up Shop in Enderby, Fruit World in Sicamous and Co-op in Tappen. In Salmon Arm, Fieldstone’s products are available at DeMilles, Nutters, Shuswap Health Foods, Save-On Foods, and Askew’s Uptown and Downtown.JAN. 16 FOR DAN BASKILL’S BLIND BAY APPLICATION
Three bylaws for Dan Baskill’s Blind Bay Resort develop-ment application will be on the agenda at the Jan. 16 board meeting of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District in Salmon Arm. For time, check the agenda at www.csrd.bc.ca. I plan to be there.
Admire the new website, produced for $35,000. The pic-tures are wonderful!
[email protected] • 250-832-4831The views and opinions expressed in this article are those
of Sally Scales and do not necessarily represent those of Lakeshore News and its staff.
Letters to the EditorRecently the CBC radio show, Daybreak,
aired a story about the establishment of Walmart in Salmon Arm. Unfortunately the views presented were not overly balanced. One of the main persons interviewed was Sally Scales, a local columnist. She intimat-ed that much of the controversy was the
result of an anti- development sentiment and that Salmon Arm is “a community that has to say no first.” Her statements, as usual, are self-serving and tend not to tolerate or wel-come in-depth analysis, research, and dis-cussion. Clearly, groups and individuals who are concerned about certain develop-
ments have valid questions about such things as the impact on the environment. It seems only logical that these concerns be addressed before projects are approved.
In the end, very few people could be said to be totally against development as Ms. Scales tends to suggest. In summary, most
vigilant people and groups are simply speak-ing out against development that proceeds without adequate research and assessment. Continuing to label groups as anti develop-ment and perpetuating misinformation only serves to divide the community.

Most citizens not against development, just want adequate research fi rst

Watch out, Nancy Cooper! You might have a challenger in the next municipal elec-tion. No, it isn’t the tall, grey-haired grand-father of the Junior Bean Counter you have to worry about; it is the Junior Bean Counter himself.
I got wind of the Junior Bean Counter’s intentions on a New Year’s Day family drive last week. As we drove past one of his favourite fast food joints, he announced that he should run for Mayor of Salmon Arm. If the idea itself wasn’t strange enough, he began to tell us what his campaign platform would be.
“If I was Mayor I would change all the street names to names of Vancouver Canucks players, New England Patriot players and Miami Heat players” he announced to the family. As you can imagine, these are his favourite sports teams.
Upon hearing of his younger brother’s ideas to revamp all of Salmon Arm’s street names, my 12-year-old son rebutted, “That doesn’t make sense. Those names have nothing to do with Salmon Arm!”
To be honest, my first thought wasn’t to question his platform as much as it was to question the thought of him running for Mayor at 10 years old. Obviously, his older brother was more con-cerned about his politi-cal ideas.
After hearing his older brother question his street name propos-al he quickly shot back, “You know what? I just saw a sign that said ‘Route 1’. What does that have to do with Salmon Arm?”
My wife and I had a good laugh at the Junior Bean Counter’s logic in defending his street name idea. At that point we took the time to explain what “Route 1” was before the conversation in the back of the vehicle deteriorated to a full-out political brawl.
I did tell him that he’d have a hard time getting firefighters to vote for him if he went ahead with changing
Candidate for Mayorall the street names. I explained how it is eas-ier for them to find a fire on 20th Street or 15th Ave then to find it on Lebron James Drive or Daniel Sedin Avenue. He thought about it for awhile and said “That’s okay. The firefighters don’t have to vote for me.”
It is sometimes shocking, but always interesting to get a glimpse into the minds of kids. The street name proposal seems a little crazy, but he did mention later he would also put together a plan to help “old, junky-looking build-ings” in town look “nicer and newer.” So as you can see, not all of his ideas are off the wall; although he did talk about painting city hall green and blue to match the Canucks colours.
Don’t worry Nancy, your job is safe for a while, but watch out in 20 years!

One wonders if Tom Fletcher is a real, live person or just another pro-paganda zombie created by the Fiberal government and BC Liedro to perpetrate its fantasies on a not-so-in-nocent-public that once-upon-a-time put its trust in government and its agencies. Where else would he get the absolutely preposterous facts he regurgitates with such glib absence of verification? And, to this reader at least, it is blatantly obvious that Fletch the Wretch spends not a moment of his wasted energy attempt-ing to ascertain what goes on in the world outside of his self-possessed bubble. And I will not waste a moment of my time refuting such obvious drivel.
Germany, one of the most tech-sav-vy nations on earth, and one which vociferously opposes the smart grid technology, is largely the reason why Europe will NOT attain its mandate of 80% saturation by the year 2020. Hundreds, if not thousands, of munic-ipal, county, state, provincial and national jurisdictions world-wide have imposed bans against this flawed protocol, and some, such as several regional governments in California, have even gone so far as
to make it a criminal offence to install these invasive and lethal devices.
During the recent ice storm in east-ern Canada, consumers did not bene-fit one iota from the fact that Ontario adopted the smart meter program, an idea that former premier Dalton McGuinty admits was a huge mis-take. With the resumption of power the cheap, poorly manufactured meters foisted on the innocent public are exploding, burning and creating supplemental problems for repair crews and homeowners and largely going unreported at the behest of the authorities. Not only that, but those customers affected are also paying as much as 400% higher rates than before.
The sad reality is that governments no longer rule their constituents. Democracy is dying a slow but inev-itable death. The precautionary prin-cipal is nowhere to be found in the Hansard archives of legislatures any-where around the globe where corpocracies reign supreme. All of us are subject to the whims of multi-na-tional corporations everywhere. One only needs to follow the money to witness this travesty of civilization.

CAPRICORN Capricorn, you are focused on your work, but distractions beyond your control figure to prove frustrating. Try to remain as patient as possible, and everything will work itself out.
AQUARIUS Aquarius, take a breather and stop to give some careful thought to your recent experiences and your expectations going forward. You will benefit from this reflection in the long run.
PISCES Pisces, expect some valuable insight on your future to arrive in the next few days. It won’t be difficult to set plans in motion.
ARIES Aries, though you are eager to plow through your to-do list, certain plans may have to be postponed due to circumstances beyond your control. Go with the flow.
TAURUSTaurus, uncover the source of a disagreement with a friend and try to come to a resolution before the disagreement escalates. Handling things promptly will pay off.
GEMINI Gemini, attention to detail this week will prevent delays down the road. Keep this mind when tending to personal as well as professional matters.
CANCERYou may find your mind wandering this week, Cancer. You cannot seem to focus on the tasks at hand, but work hard to limit distractions and get your work done.
LEOLeo, respect a loved one’s decision to keep a certain matter private. There’s not much you can do other than offer your support and respect.
VIRGO Virgo, carefully schedule your time this week. You cannot afford to get behind in work or miss any important appointments. Stay focused and leave some time free for the unexpected.
LIBRALibra, you are drawn to creative endeavors these days and have less patience for tasks that are not nearly as fun. Find a healthy balance between the two.
SCORPIO Scorpio, expect to serve as a mediator for your loved ones this week. The issue that arises is relatively small, but your calm demeanor and cool head will be needed.
SAGITTARIUS Sagittarius, you may be floundering a little in the romance department this week. Stick to what your intuition is telling you, and you will come out just fine.

Dallas Buyers Club shares the true story of Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey), a homophobic, bull-riding, hell-raising Texan, who after a work-related accident finds himself diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. With AZT being the only legal drug in the U.S. in 1985 to treat the disease, but depleting Ron’s longevity, he enlists the help of a disgraced doctor (Griffin Dunne) and fellow AIDS vic-tim Rayon (Jared Leto) to traffic unap-proved drugs across the border and distribute to paying members of his
own alternative treatment facility. The FDA and other pharmaceutical com-panies soon catch wind of his actions and force Ron to fight not only for his life, but for the lives and rights of oth-ers. For a film shot in 25 days, McConaughey and Leto lost over 60 lbs between them for the roles that are being hailed as their best performanc-es yet.
Dallas Buyers Club shows January 10-16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Salmar Classic Theatre (door prizes to be drawn on Friday and Saturday).

Community Futures Shuswap has set aside $20,000 of loan funding to assist youth involved in regional 4-H Beef Clubs. Through this very suc-cessful lending program, young farm-ers can access loans of up to $2000 to purchase and grow a calf to a mar-ket-ready age. The short-term loan is repaid when the calf has reached maturity and is sold at the annual 4-H Stock Show and Sale. Instead of charging interest on these loans, Community Futures Shuswap col-lects a 5% administration fee which is paid to the participating 4-H clubs. In 2013 the 4-H Lending Program saw eight loans be issued and repaid for a
total loan value of $14,750. As a result of this partnership, just over $600.00 was paid to two local 4-H clubs to assist with their program-ming.
Moving forward, The Community Futures Board of Directors has increased the 2014/15 lending cap for the 4-H Beef Club Lending Program to $20,000; creating the opportunity for other young farmers to participate in this worthwhile program.
For more information on this pro-gram contact Community Futures Shuswap at 250-803-0156 or visit www.futureshuswap.com.

hunt. Arriving at the 12 mile ferry, one could see Celgar’s (logging company) bundled logs, coming down river, accompanied by large ice pans, as the river began to freeze. Breaking cold morning light showed a chain stretched across the apron ramp, as the oper-ator approached. The reaction ferry wasn’t going anywhere, as he felt it too dangerous. With a mindset of deter-mination, Ivan approached a minibus of loggers who had arrived to cross. Talking to the driver, and within seconds, the chain was dropped, our truck was moved, and the minibus shot onto the ramp, then onto the ferry deck. The small International trac-tor motor kicked into life, and we crossed with cables bouncing, and ice chunks deflect-ing and spinning off the ferry’s hulk.
Those two river fer-ries have been gone for many years of course, and the motor vessel ferry, the MV Galena, now plies the waters of
Upper Arrow lake from Shelter Bay to Galena Bay, in which brings to mind another story. It’s again close to the fes-tive season, as Ivan and I are off to another deer hunt on Ollie’s road near Trout Lake. With a Chambers chip truck and trailer, a car, and our 4 x 4 the thrum of the Galena’s engines purr in the cold pre-dawn morning light. Ice chunks floating on the lake surface, bounce off the hull. Suddenly, a deckhand walks past our steamed up truck windows, as the engines slow to stop. The large metal and wood apron is dropped now, to approach a near exhausted swimming whitetail doe deer. With help, she climbed aboard, and was taken across. Approaching the landing dock at Galena Bay, the captain slowed the vessel so she could saunter off to the sur-
rounding woods. There is a wealth of
information about the Columbia River’s early days, Arrowhead, and Sidmouth in the history of Revelstoke. As well, a book by Denis Marshall entitled “Sawdust Caesars,” depicts the early history of the CPR/logging/ large mill at Arrowhead. My memories are of the cable ferries that used the current, and of the river to transport vehi-cles and passengers in a bygone era!
surging force of the relentless current.
Years later, as a fish-ery officer working out of Lillooet, officer Deb Speer and I headed out on a three- day patrol to Clinton, then over Cougar Mountain, and down past Rose Haller’s ranch, to Big Bar on the Fraser River. We had the task of hooking up with our two DFO Native salmon creel counters on the dipnet sockeye fishery. Again, I was fascinated by the reaction ferry, angling across the mighty river as sheep hunters with horse trailers converged on the area.
Now to Revelstoke. The mighty Columbia River had two reaction ferries, before clearing began to harness the river with dams. One at 12 mile, the other at 24 mile, up from the for-mer settlement and mill town of Arrowhead, called Sidmouth. It is at 12 mile, our story begins. It was getting close to Christmas, as brother-in-law Ivan and I began to head out on a final whitetail deer

Sunday duplicateWhile working on a
Dept. of Highways sur-vey crew during the winter months, many years ago in Lytton, time off meant explor-ing the area. Several trips took my buddy Ken Dunn and I across the Fraser River above the town, to the Stein River and the Colonel Victor Spencer Ranch. The old colonel raised purebred Hereford cat-tle over there. We’d fish steelhead trout. The interesting part was rid-ing the two-car reaction ferry steered from the rear with a long oar, to guide it to its rocky launch spot. Large cables bounced and jumped against the

CAPRICORN Capricorn, you are focused on your work, but distractions beyond your control figure to prove frustrating. Try to remain as patient as possible, and everything will work itself out.
AQUARIUS Aquarius, take a breather and stop to give some careful thought to your recent experiences and your expectations going forward. You will benefit from this reflection in the long run.
PISCES Pisces, expect some valuable insight on your future to arrive in the next few days. It won’t be difficult to set plans in motion.
ARIES Aries, though you are eager to plow through your to-do list, certain plans may have to be postponed due to circumstances beyond your control. Go with the flow.
TAURUSTaurus, uncover the source of a disagreement with a friend and try to come to a resolution before the disagreement escalates. Handling things promptly will pay off.
GEMINI Gemini, attention to detail this week will prevent delays down the road. Keep this mind when tending to personal as well as professional matters.
CANCERYou may find your mind wandering this week, Cancer. You cannot seem to focus on the tasks at hand, but work hard to limit distractions and get your work done.
LEOLeo, respect a loved one’s decision to keep a certain matter private. There’s not much you can do other than offer your support and respect.
VIRGO Virgo, carefully schedule your time this week. You cannot afford to get behind in work or miss any important appointments. Stay focused and leave some time free for the unexpected.
LIBRALibra, you are drawn to creative endeavors these days and have less patience for tasks that are not nearly as fun. Find a healthy balance between the two.
SCORPIO Scorpio, expect to serve as a mediator for your loved ones this week. The issue that arises is relatively small, but your calm demeanor and cool head will be needed.
SAGITTARIUS Sagittarius, you may be floundering a little in the romance department this week. Stick to what your intuition is telling you, and you will come out just fine.

HURTIG,Patricia Edna
March 31, 1931 - December 27, 2013
Mom, Pats as many knew her, was born in Vancouver, BC. Pats married Bert Neumann in the 1950’s and they had two sons, Michael Neumann of Princeton, BC and Brian Neumann of Salmon Arm, BC. Pats and Bert separated and in 1970, Cecil Hurtig came into her life and they were a happy couple until Cecil’s passing in 2005. Cecil and Pats lived in White Rock, BC when they were first married and then later moved to Armstrong where they lived on two different farms over the years. Raising and caring for horses was one of Mom’s passions. Eventually they moved to Salmon Arm to be close to their grandkids. Cecil and Mom loved their time with them and many a fine laugh was had as they grew into young ladies. The many who knew Mom will miss her; Mom’s family, her sons Michael & Brian, daughter in law Sherlene and granddaughters Nikola and Joelene most of all. We wish to thank those amazing people at Hillside Village, Bastion Place and Shuswap Lodge who made Mom’s day, everyday. Thank you for all your caring and compassionate love to Mom.

Nicholas Victor Mason
June 25, 1925 – January 5, 2014
With great sadness, Nick’s daughters wish to let friends know of his passing on January 5, 2014. He led a very active and healthy life until suffering a stroke in mid-December. Dad was predeceased by our mother Joyce in 1994. He is survived by his daughters, Jennifer Mikula (Randy), Laurie Bessette (Robin), Katherine Thomas (Guy) and Sally McKay (Steve) and by his ten grandchildren.
Dad was born in Romania and immigrated to Regina at age eleven. He served in the air force from 1943-1945 before embarking on his university education. He graduated from UBC with a BSc in Forest Engineering in 1949 and a Masters in Forest Management from Oregon State College in 1952. He married Mom that same year and began his life as a forester – a career that he was always passionate about. His work took us to various locations around BC and on a three-year stint to Taiwan on a United Nations forestry project. He has been “living the life” in the Shuswap area since 1974. There are many things that we will remember about our Dad: his love of travel, languages, storytelling, reading and all things academic; his natural curiosity especially in the areas of world history and science; his exceptional woodworking talent that has resulted in our houses being furnished with his many handcrafted items; the energy with which he attacked any and all projects; and the log cabin he built on Little Shuswap where we spent our childhood summers. We admired the enthusiasm with which he pursued golf, skiing, bridge and a good blaze throughout his entire life.
We would like to thank the staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital and Bastion Place for their compassionate care during this difficult time.
A celebration of life will be held at Bowers in the Mountainside Room at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 25, 2014.
If family and friends wish to make a donation in Nick’s memory, please donate to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation at PO Box 265, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4N3.
