friends&neighboursby Leah BlainClimbing Mount

Kilimanjaro wasn’t a life-long dream or even a particular goal for Natalya Melnychuk. It was simply something to do. Last September she happened to be in Tanzania for two wed-dings and just hap-pened to have some extra time so she and friend, Alexandra [Alex] Terrana, decid-ed to climb the highest mountain in Africa.

“The day before Kilimanjaro, I almost missed the bus – I was busy taking pictures of monkeys,” she says, laughing. They had gone to Arusha, a

national park, where they saw an amazing variety of animals including hippos, fla-mingos, and monkeys.

The next morning they were on their way with two guides and nine porters in tow. Going with such an entourage wasn’t easy for Natalya.

“You have to get over feeling you’re like a colonialist – white power. It was a weird feeling. But you know you’re supporting the local economy and it costs more to climb without porters; that’s the situation you’re in. We had a waiter, a cook and the carriers. One fellow carried the toi-let, a tent toilet. We tipped him really well.”

They picked the most rural route, the west ridge, because they didn’t want to meet with huge groups. They also decided to take their time.

“You go through four temperate zones; you’re dealing with elevation gain on a

non-technical route,” she says, starting with the rain forest and end-ing in an alpine zone. It wasn’t all about reach-ing the top; it was about enjoying the whole experience. “You can do it in four days but we did it in seven. It was more like a walk in the park than a hike. I asked tons of questions. I wanted to know everything. We were having a good time with our guide, Freddie. It was spe-cial.”

As they got closer Natalya felt all the “weird effects of high-er elevation.” It was

also disconcerting to see people “with blue lips being rushed down from their summit looking like death and you’re still going up.”

Natalya kept asking her guide, “Do my lips look like that?” and he would assure her that she was fine. Then came her summit time.

“You summit at night; it’s too hot during the day. Then you’re there for the sunrise. It was a beauti-ful night with little wind.”

Making it to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro was wonderful and an unforgettable experi-ence but Natalya says she really missed her usual eight hours sleep that night.

“I like my eight hours - I was so tired. Alex was exuberant. I wanted to sleep,” she says laughing. While she was at the top, she pulled out a copy of the Lakeshore News to get her picture taken. Earlier that summer while she was on the

beach back home with her parents, she saw that you can get $10 if you get your picture taken with the Lakeshore News while you’re traveling and the picture is published in the paper. [Yes her friends teased her about taking the paper all the way to Tanzania for a chance at $10 but she was happy when it paid her bill when she went out for dinner when she came home.]

Natalya’s trek to Mt. Kilimanjaro didn’t really start in September. The path that eventually took her to Tanzania began a

decade earlier, when she went on a year-long Rotary youth exchange to Thailand. A native of Sorrento, Natalya had already graduated when she went to Thailand in 2004.

“I was up north with my exchange family. My best friend from Sorrento was in the south. I was going to go visit [at Christmas] but the father said, ‘I don’t think you should go south.’

Maybe he had some insight....” her voice trails off. Natalya got food poisoning and was violently ill on Christmas and had also lost her cell phone. When she managed to phone her friend on the 26th, the first thing her friend did was to quick-ly reassure Natalya that she was okay.

“I said, ‘What are you talking about?”

The tsunami had hit earlier that day. In the weeks to come the death toll would reach over 5,000 in Thailand; with another 8,000 injured; nearly 3,000 missing, and 7,000 dis-placed.

“I will never forget New Year’s and how solemn it was, how quiet it was.”

At this point Natalya had been there for six months and she had picked up the language fairly well. She spent the rest of her time helping.

“I spent a lot of time with the Red Cross or Rotary doing humani-

tarian initiatives.”The trip to Thailand

changed Natalya’s life. She had originally planned to take archi-tecture at university, and then decided to take something that would enable her to make a difference. From International Development to Social & Ecological Sustainability, Natalya worked her way through undergraduate to graduate studies and is now a PhD candidate at the University of Waterloo in Ontario.

“I was hoping to come back to BC [to study] but my supervi-sor was at Waterloo. Water became my focus, and he is the Canadian research chair for water gover-nance.”

It was during her time at university that she met her Muslim friends, Sarah and Leilla, from Tanzania. One became engaged to a Hungarian and the other, a French C a n a d i a n . Experiencing two Muslim weddings in Tanzania was an amaz-ing experience, she says.

But then again, for someone who graduat-ed a mere 10 years ago, she has had a lot of amazing experiences including hiking the

West Coast Trail with her brother, and teach-ing in China for a year.

Now her life is just as rewarding even if she isn’t working, pro-viding aid, or vacation-ing in a foreign coun-try. Natalya is working with five BC commu-nities on their water polices, she is a co-chair of the Fraser Basin Youth Committee, and in demand as a speaker concerning water issues. Her short-term goal is to finish her PhD by the end of 2015 and her long term goal is – of course – another adventure.

“For my future plans, I have a strong identity/sense of place in the Shuswap, and love to think of raising a fami-ly here in the future.”

Better At Home is a program that helps seniors with simple day-to-day tasks. It provides assistance with supports for non-medical needs so that seniors can con-tinue to live inde-pendently in their own homes and remain connected to their communities. The Government of British Columbia funds the program, United Way of the Lower Mainland manages it, and local non-profit organiza-tions provide the ser-vices. Fees for Better at Home services are determined on a slid-ing scale based on ability to pay. In some cases, services may be offered for free.

The Shuswap Region Better At Home Program serves seniors who live in the North and South Shuswap, Salmon Arm and surrounding areas, Sicamous, Malakwa and surrounding areas, Enderby and surround-ing areas. Their man-date is to provide non-medical services to people in these communities so they can stay in their homes as long as they are able. They provide coordination and access to a range of non-medical home support services that can include friendly visiting, transportation to appointments, light yard work, minor home repairs, snow

shoveling, light house-keeping, or grocery shopping. And if a ser-vice isn’t listed here, please ask.

For those interested in learning more about the program, there will be an information ses-sion on Thursday, March 27, 1:00 p.m at St Mary’s Anglican-United Church, 1188 Trans Canada Highway in Sorrento.

If you would like any information before the session, contact Jeanne Rokosh, Shuswap Better At Home Program Coordinator, Eagle Valley Community Support Society at 250-803-8558 or toll-free at 1-778-740-0111, email [email protected], or visit www.shuswapbetterathome.ca.

Stay home longer

Local families will once again join together for a day of buying, selling and mingling at the Shuswap Family Market. The Family Market will be held Saturday, March 29th from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at The Gathering Place at 350 30th St NE in Salmon Arm.

The Family Market (formerly known as the Moms’ Market) first happened in the spring of 2008 when friends casually discussed their frustration in finding good quality used clothing for their young children. One woman men-tioned an amazing swap meet event that she had been to in a larger city and expressed her wish for Salmon Arm to host something similar. Planning began the next day, and a few weeks later the first Salmon Arm market was under way. It became a semi-annual event with one market in the spring and one in the fall, allowing families to find new homes for the items that their

children have outgrown.The location and dates have

changed over the years but the main goal remains the same; a central location for families to buy and sell used and new items, and for related small businesses to show off their wares. The items at the market vary greatly but all must be directly related to infants, children, preg-nancy or parenting. This year’s market will even host a local pho-tographer with a photo booth set up, providing a quick opportunity for professional family images.

Interested vendors can book a table by emailing [email protected] or by calling (250) 804-4238.

Information can also be found on facebook through the Shuswap Family Market event page. All community members are invited to shop, browse and connect with other local families. Admission to the Family Market is free.

Ideas about foodJim Kimmerly discusses input towards community gardens during

the Shuswap Food Action Coop’s food forum last Tuesday at the First United Church. The forum created stakeholder momentum that ensures Salmon Arm is well-positioned to embark on furthering food sustainability planning and engagement. 193 attendees represented a cross-section of the community, and of those, 143 indicated an interest in developing community-led solutions to improve food security in Salmon Arm and surrounding environs. Outcomes will be discussed on April 26th, 2:00 p.m., at the SFAC Annual General Meeting, Uptown Askews Community Room. Howard Vangool photo.

The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) would like to remind residents that the spring free yard and garden waste drop-off period at all RDNO Recycling and Disposal Facilities (RDFs) has begun, and will run until April 30th.

Trimmings, prunings, leaves, grass, mulch and other organic material less than 20 cm in diameter originating from resi-dential yard and garden mainte-nance, is accepted free-of-charge at the Greater Vernon, Armstrong/Spallumcheen, and Lumby RDFs, and the Kingfisher and Cherryville Transfer Stations (TSs) until April 30th. This program is for yard and garden waste self-

hauled by residents or from res-idential municipal collection programs only.

“This is a very busy time of year at our facilities,” says to Dale Danallanko, RDNO Recycling and Facilities Operations Manager. “Please ensure your load is adequately secured, and follow the signs and directions from facility staff. Be sure to empty all bags and boxes containing yard and garden waste including com-postable paper bags. Once emp-tied, paper bags may be left in the yard waste pile. Your patience and cooperation is appreciated,” adds Danallanko.

Rocks, concrete, plastic, and refuse must not be deposited in the yard waste pile. These mate-

rials contaminate the pile and make it unsuitable for compost-ing.

The fee for yard and garden waste at all RDNO RDFs and TSs during the remainder of the year is $20 per metric tonne (two cents per kilogram). Operating hours are posted at each facility and are also avail-able online at www.rdno.ca/rdf-hours. Check with your local municipal office for more infor-mation about yard and garden waste collection programs available in your area.

Residents are asked to proper-ly secure yard waste loads with a tarp or cargo net. Please help keep our roads safe and clean.

For further information, please call 250-550-3700.

Birth trauma and breastfeeding

COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

familychiropractic

Effects of loneliness

seniorswellnessby Kosha Vaidya

HEALTH & BEAUTY

The vast majority of new mothers under-stand the importance of breastfeeding their new babies to ensure they start out life as healthy as possible. Mother’s breast milk is, without question, the very best form of nutrition for a rapidly growing new baby. Significant research shows that from a nutritional, immunological, diges-tive, neurological, developmental, mental, psychological, and emotional standpoint, there is no replace-ment.

While most moms start out with the best intentions to breastfeed for their baby for their first 6 months to a year; unfortunately, much too frequently moms and babies run into feeding difficulties and they are forced to tran-sition their baby to for-mula.

Pediatric chiroprac-tic textbook authors concur that modern

medical birthing proce-dures, even those with seemingly minimal intervention by the doctor, are known to cause trauma and stress to the infant’s spine and cranium. In my 18 years of experience in practice, the majority of these spinal and cra-nial (head) problems are not blatantly obvi-ous and usually are not recognized by nurses and medical doctors.

When babies are subluxated following birth trauma, the bio-mechanical problems in their spine and crani-um interfere with their ability to effectively b r e a s t f e e d . Unfortunately, new moms and infants then become frustrated with what is supposed to be a natural, easy process, and breastfeeding becomes a struggle for both. In my experience, I have seen too many mothers unable to overcome these chal-lenges and who then

have to place their baby on formula – a less-than-ideal option.

What I have also experienced is that many medical profes-sionals may be reluc-tant (or refuse) to refer babies to pediatric chi-ropractors because they do not understand how gentle, safe, and effec-tive chiropractic adjust-ments are for these babies. It is the job of a pediatric chiropractor to locate and gently correct these previous-ly undetected spinal and cranial problems. Once these stresses are released and proper biomechanics are restored, infants usual-ly return to breastfeed-ing without any further complications.

If you and/or your infant are experiencing challenges breastfeed-ing give Dr. Warren Gage a call at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

Loneliness does not necessarily mean being physically alone, but can also be feeling not connected or cared for. It has been linked to increased risk of some diseases, and one study has shown that women with breast cancer who had few friends or family were as much as five times more likely to die of the disease than women with social contacts.

Researchers are try-ing to figure out the link between loneli-ness, illness, and death. Psychologists at the University of Chicago and Ohio State University have shown that people who are socially isolated develop changes in their immune system, which leads to a condi-tion called chronic

inflammation that is linked to cardiovascu-lar disease and cancer.

They also found that the levels of cortisol (a hormone produced when we are stressed) increased in socially isolated people. These increased cortisol lev-els have also been linked to inflammation and disease.

In Canada, due to winter conditions, it may be more difficult to visit friends and rel-atives. However, it is important to try to keep up with group activities such as attending church, hav-ing coffee with a friend, or chatting on the phone, which are some ways to stay c o n n e c t e d . Volunteering to be a friend to someone who does not have any one can be lifesaving for

that person as well as yourself.

Being a friend can become a way of life to overcome loneli-ness.

Better At Home is a program that helps seniors with simple day-to-day tasks. It provides assistance with supports for non-medical needs so that seniors can con-tinue to live inde-pendently in their own homes and remain connected to their communities. The Government of British Columbia funds the program, United Way of the Lower Mainland manages it, and local non-profit organiza-tions provide the ser-vices. Fees for Better at Home services are determined on a slid-ing scale based on ability to pay. In some cases, services may be offered for free.

The Shuswap Region Better At Home Program serves seniors who live in the North and South Shuswap, Salmon Arm and surrounding areas, Sicamous, Malakwa and surrounding areas, Enderby and surround-ing areas. Their man-date is to provide non-medical services to people in these communities so they can stay in their homes as long as they are able. They provide coordination and access to a range of non-medical home support services that can include friendly visiting, transportation to appointments, light yard work, minor home repairs, snow

shoveling, light house-keeping, or grocery shopping. And if a ser-vice isn’t listed here, please ask.

For those interested in learning more about the program, there will be an information ses-sion on Thursday, March 27, 1:00 p.m at St Mary’s Anglican-United Church, 1188 Trans Canada Highway in Sorrento.

If you would like any information before the session, contact Jeanne Rokosh, Shuswap Better At Home Program Coordinator, Eagle Valley Community Support Society at 250-803-8558 or toll-free at 1-778-740-0111, email [email protected], or visit www.shuswapbetterathome.ca.

Stay home longer

Local families will once again join together for a day of buying, selling and mingling at the Shuswap Family Market. The Family Market will be held Saturday, March 29th from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at The Gathering Place at 350 30th St NE in Salmon Arm.

The Family Market (formerly known as the Moms’ Market) first happened in the spring of 2008 when friends casually discussed their frustration in finding good quality used clothing for their young children. One woman men-tioned an amazing swap meet event that she had been to in a larger city and expressed her wish for Salmon Arm to host something similar. Planning began the next day, and a few weeks later the first Salmon Arm market was under way. It became a semi-annual event with one market in the spring and one in the fall, allowing families to find new homes for the items that their

children have outgrown.The location and dates have

changed over the years but the main goal remains the same; a central location for families to buy and sell used and new items, and for related small businesses to show off their wares. The items at the market vary greatly but all must be directly related to infants, children, preg-nancy or parenting. This year’s market will even host a local pho-tographer with a photo booth set up, providing a quick opportunity for professional family images.

Interested vendors can book a table by emailing [email protected] or by calling (250) 804-4238.

Information can also be found on facebook through the Shuswap Family Market event page. All community members are invited to shop, browse and connect with other local families. Admission to the Family Market is free.

Ideas about foodJim Kimmerly discusses input towards community gardens during

the Shuswap Food Action Coop’s food forum last Tuesday at the First United Church. The forum created stakeholder momentum that ensures Salmon Arm is well-positioned to embark on furthering food sustainability planning and engagement. 193 attendees represented a cross-section of the community, and of those, 143 indicated an interest in developing community-led solutions to improve food security in Salmon Arm and surrounding environs. Outcomes will be discussed on April 26th, 2:00 p.m., at the SFAC Annual General Meeting, Uptown Askews Community Room. Howard Vangool photo.

The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) would like to remind residents that the spring free yard and garden waste drop-off period at all RDNO Recycling and Disposal Facilities (RDFs) has begun, and will run until April 30th.

Trimmings, prunings, leaves, grass, mulch and other organic material less than 20 cm in diameter originating from resi-dential yard and garden mainte-nance, is accepted free-of-charge at the Greater Vernon, Armstrong/Spallumcheen, and Lumby RDFs, and the Kingfisher and Cherryville Transfer Stations (TSs) until April 30th. This program is for yard and garden waste self-

hauled by residents or from res-idential municipal collection programs only.

“This is a very busy time of year at our facilities,” says to Dale Danallanko, RDNO Recycling and Facilities Operations Manager. “Please ensure your load is adequately secured, and follow the signs and directions from facility staff. Be sure to empty all bags and boxes containing yard and garden waste including com-postable paper bags. Once emp-tied, paper bags may be left in the yard waste pile. Your patience and cooperation is appreciated,” adds Danallanko.

Rocks, concrete, plastic, and refuse must not be deposited in the yard waste pile. These mate-

rials contaminate the pile and make it unsuitable for compost-ing.

The fee for yard and garden waste at all RDNO RDFs and TSs during the remainder of the year is $20 per metric tonne (two cents per kilogram). Operating hours are posted at each facility and are also avail-able online at www.rdno.ca/rdf-hours. Check with your local municipal office for more infor-mation about yard and garden waste collection programs available in your area.

Residents are asked to proper-ly secure yard waste loads with a tarp or cargo net. Please help keep our roads safe and clean.

For further information, please call 250-550-3700.

Joe Johnson, Shuswap Hospital Foundation (SHF) President, attended the Monday, March 17 meeting of the Salmon Arm Rotary Club to receive a cheque for $10,000. Club President Doug Murray presented the cheque on behalf of the membership to Joe Johnson, Fiona Harris (Director of Development, SHF) and Eugene Casavant (Past Managing Director, SHF). This donation will assist in purchasing the CT Scan Upgrade for Shuswap Lake General Hospital. Murray commented, “The Salmon Arm Rotary Club members are thrilled to

be able to assist with this purchase of a CT Scan Upgrade which will bring increased health bene ts to our community.”Johnson said that the CT scanner upgrade will provide the highest quality of

images faster and enable future software updates to be installed. He also said that a signi cant bonus of the upgrade would be the ability to extend the use of the CT scanner for up to ten years, providing optimum patient care and comfort. Johnson said, “I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the Shuswap

Hospital Foundation and thank the Salmon Arm Rotary Club for their very generous support in helping the Foundation to raise $205,000 for the CT Scan Upgrade.”

READ THE GLOBE AND MAIL ON SATURDAYSFinally, the Globe and Mail is being delivered to

Salmon Arm stores on Saturday mornings. Askew’s Uptown, as well as other stores, received a limited num-ber on March 8 and they were gone in no time. The Matchbox across from the post office will hold one for you if you place an order to start in a month. The Globe costs $3.75, taxes in.

WE MADE THE SECOND HOCKEYVILLE CUTOn Saturday, March 15 at 9 p.m., Shaw Centre in

Salmon Arm was announced as one of the two western communities in the second cut for Kraft Hockeyville 2014. The other was Medican Multi-Plex in Sylvan Lake, Alberta. Its roof had collapsed from heavy snow, accord-ing to its website.

Voting began immediately for the third cut, to see which of the two communities will receive the most votes by website or toll-free number and go on to the fourth and final cut. We voted like mad for the next two days.

Lana Fitt, Salmon Arm’s economic development man-ager, has been doing a fabulous job keeping the excite-ment going and informing us when and how to vote. So far Shaw Centre will receive $50,000 for improvements. If we beat Sylvan Lake, our arena will receive $100,000.

EASY WAY TO VOTE ON THE WEBSITEThe winning Kraft Hockeyville 2014 community in the

next cut will be announced tomorrow evening, Saturday. If Salmon Arm wins for Western Canada, voting will begin at 9 p.m. to determine a final winner, west against east.

I found a quick way to vote, without using the mouse. Instructions were given by someone on Sylvan Lake’s Hockeyville Facebook page. If Salmon Arm makes the next cut, ask me to explain the quick method.

MLA GREG KYLLO SITS ON SIX COMMITTEESPremier Christy Clark must have been so impressed

with Greg Kyllo’s ability and accomplishments in Sicamous that she named him to six committees after he was elected to represent the Shuswap in the last election. Some MLAs do not sit on even one committee.

Greg was the guest speaker at the annual general meet-ing of the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce at the Prestige on March 14. He said he travels a lot throughout the province with his committees. What he enjoys most is sitting down and talking with manufacturers.

SALMON ARM BARBER SHOP IS PROMOTEDAt the chamber of commerce dinner and AGM, I sat at

the same table as Matt Koivisto who has a barbershop on

Hudson Avenue. At the conclusion of the meeting he gave each of us his very colourful business card. Now here is a young man who knows how to market. The card has his phone number, address, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and e-mail addresses and that he opens at 8:30 Monday thru Saturday. The back of the card has a receipt with room for the customer’s name, the date, the amount, and a line for his signature. At the bottom is a thank you, and a hope that he sees you again.

Matt trained at the Fortune Barber Shop in Kamloops. The five barbers who were his teachers had 170 years of combined experience. A year later, in spring of 2007, when they were comfortable with Matt’s skills, they began recommending their customers to him. He took business courses in college, now TRU, and learned some marketing skills. He designed the logo and business card himself.

Matt and his wife moved to Salmon Arm in October and Matt opened his shop in November 2013. He chose the name Salmon Arm Barber Shop because it had not been registered previously, and because it pops up on top when you search the internet for Salmon Arm and Barber. Some customers drive up from Kamloops, and they can find him on a digital map. You’ll find him on Hudson Avenue across from the Pink Cherry. www.salmonarm-barbershop.ca

A NEW NETWORKING GROUP FOR 20s-40sThere isn’t a networking group for the age 20 to 40

demographic, so Chad Eliason is starting one. Unlike a service club, where members undertake service projects and fundraising activities, this one is to hear speakers and get to know one another. The first meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25 at the Shuswap Pie Company. Admission is a $2 donation.

Chad has been a councillor for the City of Salmon Arm since 2005 when he was the youngest person to be elect-ed in Salmon Arm. For more information on the new group, go to The New Shuswap Network on Facebook or call Chad at 250-804-9874.

CHAD ELIASON IS A MORTGAGE BROKERAt the conclusion of the Salmon Arm chamber’s AGM

last Friday, Chad Eliason handed me his colourful busi-ness card. He is entering his eighth year as a mortgage broker. This year he ventured out on his own, using the name MBT for mortgage broker team.

Because he is young (35), he knows the challenges associated with buying for the first time. His website is full of information for first-timers wishing to buy a home.

He has an online application process that is completely free, secure, and without any obligations. www.chadelia-son.ca. After he reviews your application he will arrange to meet with you in person or, if you wish, via Skype: chad.eliason.

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS WITHOUT RELIGIONA growing number of alcoholics in AA describe them-

selves as agnostics, atheists, humanists or freethinkers. While such AA groups were rare even a decade ago, now they number about 150 in the U.S. Instead of ending a meeting with the Lord’s Prayer, they say together “Live and let live.”

WOMAN AGREES WITH ME ON MAMMOGRAMSA woman wrote, in part: “I always have admired your

courage to speak out on controversial subjects - you are amazing!!!! (I am a coward). Through my own research on mammograms, because I had a breast tumour removed in 2011, I do not believe in their effectiveness. I agree with the study in England involving 90,000 women over 25 years that found no difference in mortality rates between those who had mammograms and those who did not.

“So sorry you’re under attack for not following the money makers. I’m sure mammograms started with peo-ple who really thought they would be making a difference in conquering breast cancer, but when this proves wrong it is so hard to change the establishment and the minds of people who are blinded by the propaganda.

“Keep up your wonderful work, opening our eyes to info we may not have known about otherwise! All the best from one of your longtime fans.”

To that enlightened individual or individuals(?) who saw fit on March 12th to slash tires on five vehicles all owned by ‘dependent’ adults, I wish, on their behalf, to extend my personal thanks for this well-deserved diver-sion from their daily struggles. You must feel proud of your accomplishment for having robbed them of the single most important thing that these folks value during their lifelong illness struggles – some tiny bit of inde-pendence. My son, whose $30.00 (yes thirty dollar)

1992 vehicle, had two tires slashed, is extremely grate-ful that you have at least permitted him to drive through most of the winter; it is warm enough to walk now. Congratulations – the stress that you have caused was not only for the benefit of these particular vehicle own-ers, but for all those who live in their residential com-plex and who now worry about their personal safety. Your unthinking generosity is deeply appreciated.

As for the local law enforcement agency, which

refused to even attend or investigate ‘unless an insur-ance claim was being made,’ I wonder what their response would have been, had this incident included a vehicle belonging to a member of their own residential neighbourhoods? It is not always about catching the ‘bad’ guy, but about providing, at the very least, some reassurance that as a community, we do care!

The Junior Bean Counter is in tax mode these days. The other day he asked if he could stay home from school to help me with taxes. Though I appre-ciated the offer, I wasn’t fooled by his sweet talk. He even offered to stay home during spring break to help me instead of going to visit his grandpar-ents in the lower mainland. If only he had the same enthusiasm for cleaning his room or taking out the trash!

All of his tax talk has inspired me to write an exciting article about the Medical Tax Credit. I know he would be proud that I am educating the masses on taxes!

The medical tax credit is one of the more popular tax credits. Unfortunately, not everything you think qualifies. For example, an MSP premium is NOT an eligible medical expense; nor is your nose job or hot tub. When it comes to hot tubs, you can argue all you want that your hot tub helps you with certain aches and pains. You can even get a

doctor to write a letter saying it is good for you. However, Canada Revenue specifically excludes a hot tub as a medical expense.

You can, however, claim your eye glasses, hearing aids and root canals. Essentially, most expenses related to services provided by a doctor, dentist, chiropractor, optometrist, physiothera-pist, among others, assuming you were not reimbursed through some sort of private health plan. You can, however, claim the medical/dental premiums you pay to the private health plan.

A big item that is sometimes forgotten is travel expenses to obtain medical ser-vices. There are detailed rules related to medical travel, but essentially you can claim mileage if you travelled more than 40 kilometres in one direction for medical services you could not other-wise get closer to home. You can also claim meals (subject to certain limita-tions) and accommodation if you travel

more than 80 kilometres in one direc-tion. For those of us in the Shuswap, this can be a real benefit, as it isn’t uncommon for us to have to see a spe-cialist in Vernon, Kamloops or Kelowna.

The federal credit is 15% on allow-able medical expenses that exceed 3 per cent of your net income. So if, for example, your net income is $30,000; you would need over $900 in allowable medical expenses before you would receive any benefit. Also, if your taxes payable has already been reduced to zero, it doesn’t matter how much allow-able medical expenses you may have. Once your taxes payable are zero, you can’t reduce them any lower.

In the end, be sure to check with your tax professional to ensure you are claim-ing everything you are entitled. Remember, the less you have to send to Ottawa and Victoria, the better!

Uptown Askews Community Room.2701 11th Ave NE, Salmon Arm

We want to grow!!!!!


Letters to the EditorPremier Clark,The people of BC elected you as our Premier

obviously with the mistaken idea that you would not be another money-grabbing pushover as our previous premier was! The very idea that you and your Liberal government would even consider selling out to multinational corporations is sick-ening! Our municipal recycling and waste man-agement programs work just fine, thank you very much, without any BC job losses, money going to big Eastern corporations, environmental losses and last but not least, business and taxpayer loss-es. Our already-working blue box recycling pro-gram is the envy of the rest of Canada. The fact that you and your policy wonks would even consider any changes to such a program has tax-payers and businesses wondering if you even care one iota about the BC environment and the BC people! Disgust is the only polite word I can put into print, Premier Clark. Disgust that I even voted for the Liberals in the last provincial elec-tion; disgust that whatever you and your policy wonks have been doing behind the BC people’s backs may not be the only thing we should be worried about; disgust that you talk out of both sides of your mouth every time you tell us you will work for and with the people of BC.

Well, Ms. Clark, the people of BC will remem-ber all of this come the next election. Selling BC out to the highest bidder will not get you or the Liberals voted into power to abuse that power again!

Leave the blue box program alone, and for once let a program that works, work! Do not attempt to “fix what isn’t broken.” For a change, really listen to what the BC taxpayers and busi-nesses want you to do – the right thing for all of BC.

A totally disgusted proud BC taxpayer, Yvonne Nairn, Salmon Arm

Not broke, don’t fi x it! Remedies easily foundIn the Sidewalk Superintendent

column of two weeks ago we were given an explanation of what causes bad weather, tornadoes and the recent flooding in England by the column’s writer, Sally Scales. She references a neurosurgeon special-ist as a source.

We are told in her column that a Dr. Russell Blaylock blames the changing weather patterns on chem-trails?

In her column we are informed the chemtrails from airplanes seed the upper atmosphere with alumi-num particles, they are inhaled by humans and land on plants, which in turn cause human health prob-lems and create changes in weather patterns. A website was provided so we could read more about the topic.

In my opinion, newspapers need to research a bit more to verify the credibility of some stories submit-ted by those representing the paper. Is the Sidewalk Superintendent col-umn a part of the owner’s intent, or has it come about as a result of a clause in the newspaper’s buy & sell agreement that she has negoti-ated? Perhaps in some cases claims need to be questioned by the pub-lishers more closely. It might appear some of these claims are starting to question years of “proven scientific methods” that are used by meteo-rologists to predict the weather. The Sidewalk Superintendent column in this paper makes repeated claims regarding chemtrails, their causes

and their effects and this has been happening for some time in this column.

High-flying jets spreading alumi-num particles into the upper atmo-sphere causing illness and weather changes makes as much sense (to me?) as the theories surrounding UFO’s and their existence.

Do we need to ask Sally to change her topic just a bit to include her experiences and theories on UFO’s? I’d be interested in reading her opinions on UFO’s in her column in addition to the claims about chem-trails and cloud seeding.

I would also ask, what are the reasons airplanes would do this? Where do the airplanes originate from and who controls these alleged events. I hope they are not coming from ET’s?

It is my understanding most newspapers verify news and col-umn items before they are printed, perhaps with the exception being letters to the editor?

B. Campbell, Sorrento

Chemtrails, storms, fl oods & UFO’sPerhaps Sally Scales, who was a nurse practi-

tioner herself, is correct in her suspicion that mammograms are not all that they are promoted to be. Medical science is not an exact science. In fact, more deaths occur every year due to the use and abuse of prescription drugs than street drugs. Well over 10,000 Canadians die every year from mis-diagnosed and prescribed drugs in hospitals alone. Many more die at home and even more from OTC (over-the-counter) drugs such as acet-aminophen purchased at the corner drug store.

Mortality from the use and abuse of prescrip-tion drugs is the third leading cause of death in North America. These are preventable deaths. The first and second maladies causing death, cancer and heart-related conditions, are also pre-ventable with simple changes in everyday life-style. There are also simple, available home remedies for these so-called complex medical conditions which are proven to be effective and are within reach of the average citizen.

The simple answer as to why they are being suppressed is...money! The biggest spenders in government lobby line-ups are the pharmaceuti-cals, the multi-national food corporations and the wireless technology industries – every one promoting its independent and scientifically proven lethal and toxic products to the unsus-pecting and propaganda-filled global population. Follow the money–it is that simple.

Most disease today is a result of mankind’s inadequate understanding and implementation of the ‘cause & effect’ rule. And pretty much the remedies for each malaise may be found in nature. Look for them. All it takes is an open mind.

North Okanagan-Shuswap Board of Education No 83

The Board of Education of School District No. 83 (North Okanagan-Shuswap) requires the services of a Chief Election Officer (“CEO”) to manage all aspects of the upcoming Trustee election process.

The election encompasses seven electoral areas which are: Salmon Arm, Enderby, Sicamous/ Malakwa, North Shuswap, Armstrong/Spallumcheen, Carlin/ Sorrento and Falkland/Deep Creek/Ranchero. The CEO will work with School District and municipal staff to facilitate the elections in the above electoral areas. This is primarily an administrative/clerical position requiring exceptional organizational skills.

A detailed outline of the work to be performed is available at the School District #83 Board Office or by calling Bethan Miller at 250-804-7830 or emailing bemiller@ sd83.bc.ca. Proposals can be submitted at the Board Office at 220 Shuswap Street NE or by email to bemiller@ sd83.bc.ca. Deadline for receipt of proposals is 2:00 pm on April 3, 2014.

The recent Nature’s Corner column (Feb. 28/14) on honeybees was informative and inter-esting. It delved, in some detail, into their amaz-ing lives. The writer shows just how incredibly complex and interdependent a colony of honey-bees is. For a hive, a bee colony, functions as a unit, with its members having specific, critical duties to perform. Different groups of the bees become the workers, foragers, honey makers, guards, drones, queens, caretakers of the eggs, etc. A colony of honeybees is a highly complex cluster of individuals which functions as a sin-gle organism. Members of a bee colony are completely dependent on one another. Any bee that is away from its community for long cannot function properly or survive.

In addition to the marvels mentioned in the article, bees have a language. They communi-cate with one another by a ‘waggle dance,’ passing along information on food sources, reports on real estate (housing sites), etc. They use scouts to spy out the land. Bees outsmart computers. With a brain the size of a pinhead, they can quickly compute locations, bearings,

and distances to hundreds of flowers and blos-soms, and thereby minimize travel distances.

They can solve such problems as a maze of hundreds of flower sites very quickly. It would take a computer days to work out such a prob-lem.

Bees and flowers are totally dependent on one another. Flowers and blossoms need bees to transmit the necessary genetic information to other plants. Bees need the flowers and blos-soms for food. It is clear that a hive, a bee colo-ny could not possibly have evolved from a simple, single ancestor. Nor could male and female, and total dependency have evolved. And yet the article concludes with a salute to evolution.

Why is evolution being promoted? Evolution is not science, it is a false religion that has been disproven time after time. If you disagree with this, then you should learn what real science is. Since adaptation is lauded in this article, it needs to be refuted. Naturalists should not pro-mote a pagan religion.

Vancouver – A coalition of business stakeholder groups representing several major sectors of the British Columbia economy announced recently, the launch of a massive province-wide advertising campaign in 130 provincial newspapers to protest regulatory chang-es involving the recycling of printed-pa-per and packaging (PPP).

The campaign calls on British Columbians to contact Premier Christy Clark and ask her to rethink a plan which turns over BC’s Blue Box recy-cling programs to an Ontario-based group governed by large multinational corporations.

“For months British Columbia busi-ness owners have tried unsuccessfully to convince Minister of Environment Mary Polak to rethink the flawed plan her ministry put forth,” says Mike Klassen, BC director of provincial affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). “Now business groups representing significant parts of BC’s economy have come

together to ask the Premier to step in to prevent this new red tape that will kill jobs and cause many businesses to fail.”

Newspapers Canada and a group of eight business associations representing tens of thousands of BC small business-es and their employees in the agricul-ture, newspaper publishing, landscap-ing, printing and custom manufacturing, retail, wholesale, food, and waste col-lection sectors are launching a first series of ads to inform the public about BC’s new recycling plan. By running in every edition of 130 newspapers across the province and on social media – tagged #RethinkItBC – it will be one of the largest public awareness campaigns ever mounted in BC’s history.

“We are not disputing that the ulti-mate goal of the government to maxi-mize recycling of paper and packaging to reduce materials going into the waste stream,” said Marilynn Knoch, Executive Director, British Columbia Printing and Imaging Association. “BC businesses are already working to make

our province get even more clean and green, so let’s start talking to people from BC about how to achieve this. First we must delay the May 19th start of the legislation, and then get business-es back to the table to share their ideas with the government.”

The program set out by Multi Materials BC (MMBC) will annex most municipal and regional district curb-side/discarded material collection and will cause great harm to the economy: in job losses, business failures and increased costs for BC households.

The confusing Ministry of Environment-endorsed program creates a veritable monopoly to control much of BC’s currently thriving and competitive waste recycling industry. MMBC is governed by a Board made up of inter-national business interests with Ontario/Quebec representatives from: Unilever Canada, Metro Inc., Walmart, Tim Hortons Inc., Loblaw Companies Limited, Coca Cola Refreshments Canada and Procter & Gamble.

Driving through Kelowna last Sunday afternoon in a maze of traffic, I passed Orchard Park Mall. Out front by the roadway, still standing tall after all these years, was the blue-tinged spruce tree. Beside that tree used to be the white picket gate leading to an old two-storey white house, surrounded by a large cherry orchard. That’s close to 50 years ago now!

My uncle, Bert Cooper, and aunt Jessie owned the property. After haying was done on our farm at Armstrong, Dad would drive me (as a nine-year-old) down to spent a couple of weeks picking cherries and spending time with my cousins there, and fishing with hook and worm in Mill Creek. Down the road a piece, Uncle Duncan Hardy started a drive-through called “Chicken on the Way,” and Uncle Archie Hardy had a ranch where the White Truck plant once stood. But the most fun was staying with Uncle Alister Campbell, skipper of the ferry Pandosy, that plied Okanagan Lake. Actually, there were three: MV Lequime (now the Fintry Queen), MV Lloyd Jones, and MV Pendozi (or Pandosy), named after Father Charles Pandosy. Cousin Bobby and I would be in the wheel-house, when Alister said we could steer over to W e s t b a n k . Standing on a chair, we would then wiggle/wag-gle that big boat, zig-zagging across and causing the passengers to wonder what was going on.

Better still was Uncle Alister’s pros-pecting ventures, when we would pile in his old Chev with all the picks, shovels, gold pans, and tent, and head up Gallagher’s Canyon for gold. But this is where our story changes. Uncle Alister had acquired a Geiger counter, which can detect pitchblend in uranium. As we stood at the old lookout site south of Vernon, or at the hills near Beaver Lake (Winfield), that counter and wand (like

a metal detector), would click and chatter loudly.

Later, in the 1970’s, uranium was discovered near Beaverdell, and exploration began. But, due to public protests, a mora-torium was imposed by the province. Water testing in parts of the Okanagan and Princeton show traces of the radio-active material. But now, three years after the Fukushima nuclear plant explo-sion, are we starting to feel the effects in BC? We certainly know that waste and debris from the earthquake and tsunami there are going to contaminate our ocean foreshores at Tofino and Ucluelet, but what about our salmon stocks and other sea life? Once our salmon enter the Pacific Ocean from the many major spawning rivers along the coast as smelts, they travel and feed vigorously on herring and needle fish and phyto-plankton, travelling up to 1500 kilome-tres to a rich feeding ground called the Japanese warm current–a vast moving mass of ocean, containing rich food sources for many fish and marine life. Possibly now, in the mix and ingesting radioactive contaminated shrimp/krill/

herring, etc. are our returning salmon after their three to four year cycle of growth.

Recently, a radioactive metal (cesium 134), was found in the soil near Kilby Provincial Park, near the mouth of the Harrison River. Does this indicate that returning salmon returning to the Harrison/Fraser river may be contami-nated after their journey from the ocean? At our recent quarterly meeting of the sport fishing advisory council in Kamloops, members disclosed that when angling for pink salmon on the

Thompson River two years ago, some fish showed a yellow tinge to their skin. Samples of the fish were sent to the Canadian Food Inspection agency to determine if there is an issue with these pink salmon. It is anticipated the run size for returning sockeye will be close to 70 million fish due to ideal ocean conditions, and a sizable number of fry and smelts having migrated to the ocean four years ago. About 11.7 million of these will be Adams River fish. It was disclosed at our meeting that because of the large return of sockeye to the Adams, Little Shuswap Lake will be open for the retention of two fish a day, possibly going to keeping four in possession a day.

Around the ShuswapFishing report: As the ice begins to

melt on local lakes it is becoming dicey to venture out. White Lake was produc-ing some nice trout up to recently. A 15-lb rainbow was brought to the ice hole on Gardom last week but broke off, indicating there will be some great fish-ing on the lake come ice off. These were the first plantings of trout after the treat-ment of the lake to get rid of perch.

Phillips Lake will be holding some very large trout come spring. Best bet there is nymphing.

Moose/deer: it appears our animals came through winter reasonably well. Heavy predation by cougars and wolves coyotes did take a toll, but there were some hardy types out trying to tie a can on one of those critters with pretty good success.

Next week, I’ll give a complete run-down on catch numbers for Chinook salmon, and the outlook for angling the Thompson/Shuswap for sockeye salm-on come fall, including current DFO habitat/enforcement changes that will affect us.

Get out and enjoy the great Shuswap now that spring is here!

From Hirokazu Koreeda (director/writer of Nobody Knows), Like Father, Like Son is the story of the collision of two Japanese families after being informed by the hospital that their sons were accidentally switched at birth six years before. Though four parents go through this traumatic experience, our journey is mainly shared with one of the fathers, Ryota (Masaharu Fukuyama), whose struggle with the agonizing decision of whether the children should be switched back is conflicted by his belief that family is defined by blood, not bond. Through this testament of family and self-awareness, Ryota learns to redefine his love, acceptance, and even repentance for a past he has worked so hard to leave behind.

Winner of the 2013 Cannes Jury Prize, this thought-provoking drama skillfully tears asun-der the traditional ideals of family life, social class, and paternal love.

Like Father, Like Son shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 22 at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

her sketch pad and lending me a pencil and away we went with the quick activity of drawing the model. My first sketch in years was quite laughable, and actually I felt a little

stressed knowing I hadn’t done any drawing in years, but Debbie told me just let it flow…don’t think about it too much, just capture the shapes and don’t worry about details; we are all here just captur-ing what we see and having fun. And she was right, it did become fun and was exactly the encourage-ment I needed.

Since that first day, in addition to working on an art piece of my own selection, there have been many pro-gram activities scheduled such as Chinese Brush Painting, Still Life, Photography Enhancements, paint-ing from a projected slide, among others; some which I’ve participated in, and other times I chose to just continue working on the piece I brought. Either way, I am always

amazed at the opportunities for learning from so many talented art-ists in the area. This week we creat-ed art using an Ink Pouring method – very freestyle and interesting,

where the art is sealed in plastic wrap to give the paint texture and unique colour blend-ing. I can’t wait to see the unveiling of all our our sealed art pieces next week along with the instruction on Basics of Oil Painting, since my medium of choice to date has only been acrylics.

The skill levels of this group are diverse,

from award-winning artists to begin-ners; the mediums are varied, oils, acrylics, watercolors, ink, pastel, mixed mediums; the members are all unique from all parts of the Shuswap; but we all hold one com-monality: a love of art and a desire to help each other grow in our skills.

The Blind Bay Painters meet weekly on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 at the Blind Bay Community Hall, and I encourage anyone with a desire to expand their artistic horizons to pop down for a visit. There is no obligation to join and you may find just what you’ve been looking for both in a great social/networking forum for accomplished and new artists and some dedicated time to practice the art of painting.

By Betty SchriverI recently moved to Blind

Bay, after living all my life in Alberta. I grew up, went to school, got married, raised my daughter, and developed my career, all in Alberta. Almost all of my friends and family live there. So it was with mixed emotions that my husband and I, upon retiring, took the plunge to pack up our bags, sell our house, and move to the beauti-ful lake that we annually vaca-tioned at and enjoyed so much.

Once we were finally moved, we found we had a lot of ques-tions. B.C. and Alberta may be in the same country, but boy, do they do things differently!

Luckily we have great neighbours and friends that are very patient with our questions and often kindly share tips, informa-tion, and directions on the ways of the “Shuswapian”! It was my friendly neigh-bor Jean that told me about the Blind Bay Painters, a group of paint-ers that regularly met on Tuesday mornings to develop their painting skills. Well, painting has always been something I’ve been interested in, but I’ve only dabbled a bit, doing some decorative

tole painting, taken a few class-es and hadn’t lifted a paint brush (other than to paint some rooms in the house before we sold it) in years. So, while excited at the idea, I was a little reluctant to join a group think-ing I wasn’t ready for that yet. But my neighbour’s encourage-ment persuaded me to just do it. Sometimes it doesn’t matter where or how you begin, you just need to begin. And I’m so glad I did.

I arrived anxiously the first day not sure where to go and what to bring or do…but with the warm welcome I received, I immediately felt right at home.

Bill, another brand new mem-ber, met us at the door. Bill had more experience with his paint-ing and with ample painting supplies in his arms, graciously showed us some of his previous paintings in his portfolio. Nancy, a long-time mem-ber of the com-munity and paint-er group, wel-comed me and immediately took me around to show me the facilities, includ-ing a large hall where all the painters set up to paint, a kitch-en where coffee is provided and lunch can be heated, the downstairs library/supply room where canvasses and other art materials can be purchased, art books, videos, and magazines can be borrowed, and the large studio where the Blind Bay Painters annually house an Art Show during the summer.

That particular day they were doing a Life Drawing activity, but I hadn’t brought any pen-cils or sketching pads. That didn’t stop Debbie, another friendly member of the group, from pulling out a few sheets of

Blind Bay Painters a welcoming group

On March 6-9th, the Ringette Provincials were held in Prince George. Shuswap Ringette was for-tunate enough to have three of its teams, U14, U16 & U19, travel the highway to PG to participate in the event. For the girls on the U14B Eliminators, this was the first time they have had the opportunity to work towards such an event – in the younger years Provincials do not exist. The team came out strong winning the first game of the round robin against Vernon. This winning streak was short lived however as the team lost their next two hard-fought battles against Kelowna and Prince George. Heading into their last round robin game the Eliminators knew it was “must-win” situation if they wanted to be in medal contention and avoid ‘elimination.”

Collectively pulling together, the Eliminators played one of their best games of the year edging out Quesnel by two goals and finishing the round robin in second place. The road to the gold then started bright and early on a ‘time change’ Sunday morning (6:00 a.m.), with the bronze medal game again against Quesnel, in third place. Keeping their eye on the prize the

Eliminators again battled hard and came out with a 10-8 win.

Next stop, the gold medal game against Prince George – a team the Eliminators had yet to beat this sea-son. While playing hard and never giving up, it was not to be – the U14B Eliminators just could not get a leg up on their competition. Prince George played a strong game claim-ing gold and the Eliminators cap-tured silver. It was an exciting and tense time for parents, players and coaches as the game went back and forth matching goal for goal. What a great finale to a fantastic season!

A big thank you goes out from all of the girls on the Eliminators to the parents, coaches, relatives and friends that never gave up, provided strong support, loud cheering, and of course a ride to the rinks!

Pictured above: the U14B Eliminators are Marissa Materi, Tamara Brown, Tori Keehn, Emilie Petryshen, Kassi Archambault, Jaiden Clifford, Stephanie Martin, Brooklyn Agricola, Mariah Mitchell, Jordyn Turner, Jade Lutz, Taylor Thomlinson and Madison Moore – missing for the final game only – Megan Clark.

Bridge results

By the Salmon Arm Hockeyville CommitteeWhat a run, Salmon Arm! You’ve done a tre-

mendous job of supporting the Kraft Hockeyville nomination. We are one of only four communi-ties across Canada who remain in the competi-tion, and the very last city from British Columbia. That is solely the result of your hard work and commitment! The stories have poured in about people from all over the world taking time to vote for Salmon Arm. Everyone from young to old has embraced this initiative and it has been an honour to be a part of it.

What’s the criteria and purpose of the Kraft Hockeyville pro-gram? It’s all about community spirit, hockey pride, and originality – that is the specific judging criteria established by Kraft, and of course, all things that Salmon Arm excels at! That’s why we put our community forward for this competition. To date, Salmon Arm has been successful in securing $50,000 in funding for the Shaw Centre. This is a fabulous contribution which will help to make the Shaw Centre even better for facility users! But that’s not the best part – Salmon Arm has also received some very positive exposure, as well as a bolstering of community spirit and a sense of unity that will hopefully carry forward into future projects. We will wait to see what the final prize package is for the Shaw Centre before making a determination of the specific projects to be undertaken, as we need to understand the budget before projects can be finalized. There have already been a number of terrific sugges-

tions received, and if you have an idea of your own, please write up a short description and drop it off at the main administrative office at the Shaw Centre; we would love to hear from facil-ity users!

So what’s next? The announcement of the top two communities in Canada will be made on Saturday, March 22 on Hockey Night in Canada. These remaining two communities will each win $100,000 and will proceed to the voting stage a final time from 9:00 p.m. Saturday, March 22 to 9:00 p.m. Monday, March 24. The first place community will be announced on April 5, com-

ing away with the coveted title of “Hockeyville” as well as a pre-season NHL game and a CBC feature on their community.

Regardless of the outcome on Saturday and how much farther we may be able to go, the Hockeyville committee already

feels like we are winners! In true Salmon Arm fashion, you have worked hard to create some-thing positive. Thank you for embracing this competition and making a difference in our com-munity! GET YOUR VOTE ON, SALMON ARM!

The BC Government is proposing to offl oad the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more effi cient program that costs taxpayers less.

Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.

The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that profi ts will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.

And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?

Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,

or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.

How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.

Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is effi cient, managed locally and puts the BC environment fi rst. So why is the BC government fl ipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected offi cials are already calling a “scam?”

It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.

What’s going on here?
