ing settles, and blood pressure calms.

Adjustments may help blood pressure stabilize because when proper movement in the spine is restored, the thousands of motion sensors espe-cially concentrated in the joints of the spine begin sending the cor-rect signals to the upper levels of the brain. Through mod-ern brain research, it is now known that restor-ing this input of move-ment information (also called proprioception), shifts the body away from the gas pedal reaction to apply the brakes and calm the body. Wellness chiro-practors look at the body as a whole. It is our objective to remove subluxation (nervous system inter-ference caused by stress) via chiropractic adjustments. When subluxation is regular-ly removed it allows the body to function at optimal health, heal-ing is restored, and recovery begins.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness chiro-practor who can help your body apply the brakes to your nervous system and can be reached a t Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

I personally have had a number of patients over my 18 years in practice who have reported a reduc-tion in high blood pressure following a series of chiropractic adjustments, and many of my colleagues have also reported similar results. It is known that spinal adjustments create a calming effect

on the nervous system, which in turn directly controls the cardiovas-cular system. Its all about proper nervous system function. Let me explain.

There are two oppo-site functioning parts in the nervous system called the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and recover). An anal-

ogy to help explain these two aspects of the nervous system is, one can think of the sympathetic half as the gas pedal of your body. All stresses around us stimulate the sympathetic sys-tem, causing your body to step on the gas. This stimulation increases blood pres-sure and heart rate, sends blood away from the digestive sys-tem to supply extra to the large muscles, breathing increases, and stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenalin flood the blood to stimulate the body. The gas pedal is the perfect physiologi-cal response to stress, but it is designed to be

fast-acting and short-lived. The problem in todays society is our body and health will begin to fail when it is perpetually maxed out.

The opposite to this gas pedal is the parasympathetic part of the nervous system, which can be thought of as the brake pedal. When we are away from stress and out of fight or flight response (gas pedal), the body then can rest and relax, which is essential to heal, digest, and recov-er. When we apply the brakes to the nervous system digestion improves, immunity is strengthened, breath-

Why Do We Do Consultations?When considering medical spa treatments of any kind, it can be far too easy to just believe the hype and jump straight into booking the treatment. But its important to remember that these treatments and procedures are not always as simple or straightforward as regular spa treatments. Once you have done your research, there is something else you can do before having your treatment. Have a consultation with the facility and professionals you

are considering. Here at Chadalin Medi-Spa, our consultations are always complimentary; you should be wary of any place that doesnt offer this kind of service. Consultations are very

important. Even the most diligent of research can leave you with questions, and getting those questions answered before you decide on treatment is important, even vital.

Remember that medical spa treatments often involve high-tech tools such as lasers (for skin rejuvenation, hair removal, etc.) as well as injectable agents (like Botox and dermal fillers)

and services that treat your veins (spider vein removal). So its important to talk to a professional to get an overview that you might not be aware of, and also to know for

sure that the procedure you are considering is right for you.

Every procedure isnt right for every person. There are many factors; medication, skin tone, previous treatments, budget and more, that must be taken into consideration before

performing medical spa treatments. Sometimes, the consumer isnt the best person to figure that out, and that is why our professionals are here.

During your consultation, we will carefully go over the steps and details of whatever you are considering having done. We will discuss precautions, if any, and the results

you can realistically expect, which may be different than what you thought. We will answer all of your questions and help alleviate any concerns you may have.

But most of all, we will make sure that your treatment is right for you. And if it isnt, we will help you find an alternative. Its all about information and trust.

We want you to have only the best experience here at our medical spa. Call us @ 250.803.8717 today to learn more.


President of Shuswap Settlement Services, Bernie Desrosiers, is strug-gling to communicate at the same time he is working to launch a second round of community conversations in the Shuswap. Diagnosed with Parkinsons disease nine years ago, Desrosiers underwent brain surgery in April of this year to reduce or eliminate debili-tating tremors associated with the dis-ease. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) inserts electrodes in the patients brain connected to a stimu-lator. The current, from the stimulators intercept and scram-ble brain waves that cause the tremors. In his case, while the implant succeeded in reducing tremors, it also served to disrupt Desrosiers speech. His speech can now be laboured and often undecipherable.

Community Conversations, first organized last year, invites residents to commit to attend a one-hour conversa-tional gathering once a month for five months. Conversations are structured in keeping with the design set out by Cincinnati community activist, Peter Block, in his book Community: The Structure of Belonging. Community conversations strengthen community by enabling and enlarging participants circle of community contacts. In the process, says Block, participants envi-sion the community of which they aspire to be a part, and to publicly

commit the gifts and talents they are willing to bring to the task. By articu-lating our individual and communal stories, we are prompted to behave in ways that conform to our story. By focusing on who we are rather than who we were, conversations avoid the tendency to point fingers and apportion blame.

Desrosiers says that the effort now required to communicate leaves him

more appreciative of the plight of new Canadians who struggle every day to make themselves understood. I can tell when listeners tire of trying to make sense of my jibber and conclude it less frustrating for us both to simply pre-tend to communi-cate. I, now, have a heightened apprecia-

tion of the important role of good lis-teners. Whereas, at one time, he would have said that, if we wish to include engage residents normally marginal-ized, we simply need to invite them to join in. Now, he sees the personal invi-tation as only the first step to inclusion. The more challenging step is taking the time and to make the effort to hear what the marginalized have to say.

Assisted by a grant from WelcomeBC, Shuswap Settlement Services hosted an interfaith symposium in March 2013 and followed up with conversa-tion workshops, facilitated by Charles Holmes, in March of 2014 and again in

March of 2015. A protocol for respond-ing to incidences of racism and hate were drafted and endorsed by munici-pal councils throughout the Shuswap in the spring of 2013. As well, interest-ed organizations and businesses can now access, for free, the staff and vol-unteer response training required to become a designated community Safe Harbour. SASCU is currently under-taking to do so in all its Shuswap out-lets. Community conversations provide one more effective and inexpensive tool for building an inclusive, progres-sive community. Participants are divided into groups of four to five before reporting back to the larger gathering.

Desrosiers is conscious of a growing tendency, on his part, to avoid situa-tions that require him to speak. However, listening alone is not con-versation. The loss of ones ability to communicate verbally restricts ones ability to deploy other gifts one might previously have committed to the cause. Desrosiers is looking for others, with a passion for strengthening com-munity and able to communicate effec-tively to step up and lead.

The first community conversation will take place at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 15th at Deo Lutheran Church in Salmon Arm. Subsequent gatherings will be slated, in accor-dance with feedback received during this initial conversation, at times and places conducive to the participation of the greatest number of participants. There is no fee required to participate. Registration is available at the door or by emailing [email protected].

Looking back through history:SALMON ARM NEEDS AN ADVERTISING BROCHUREIt was 1974 and tourists were coming to the Shuswap

for a summer vacation, but having no information on businesses or the town. I was a part-time nurse in Armstrong and worked part-time with Jim in the laundro-mat-dry-cleaner-carwash, but I wanted to get into infor-mation funded by advertising for tourists. If successful, it would prove that I could start a newspaper.

Merit Press Ltd. in Vernon listened to my idea of pro-ducing a one-page flyer folded in three, with Salmon Arm advertisers and information about Salmon Arm. I was advised on cost: $35 for each.

THE FACE OF THE BROCHURE WAS INTERESTINGIn my hand I had a folded piece of paper in three, so it

would fit in a business envelope. The front page stated SALMON ARM, GEM OF THE SHUSWAP. The top had a picture I had taken of the town, lake and mountains. The bottom had a map I had drawn of the downtown. It showed the lake, the CPR tracks, the advertisers on downtown streets, the Trans Canada Highway, and the museum and tourist bureau across from the cenotaph, in what is now a lawyers office.

THE TEN ADVERTISERS IN THE BROCHUREIn 1975, business owners had never experienced a

woman calling on them to support her tourist brochure with an ad. These were the ads: The Linen Chest, with gifts from four corners of the world. Stedmans junior department store. Marshall Wells with camping and fish-ing headquarters besides hardware and toys. Salmon Arm Flower & Music Centre owned by Bert, Loretta and Karen Robinson. Harolds Texaco Service with complete mechanical repair Shuswap Realty Ltd. and Shuswap Appraisal Service. Colliers Super Value, also called Mellors Food Market. Crans Boarding Kennels for dogs and cats. And ads from the two businesses that produced the Shoppers Guide flyer in 1975 the following year: Salmon Arm Stationery & Office Supplies, and Salmon Arm Laundromat

On Monday, November 2, Fimmy and Ed Ganshorn opened Flowers by Fimmy in Piccadilly and were busy all day. In fact, in 17 years of having her own business, Fimmy said she had the most sales on this day.

Forty years ago, Doreen McCaig hired Fimmy to work in her florist shop. It was Jan. 6, 1976. Fimmy had no

experience with flowers and knew nothing about design. She asked Doreen why she hired her, and the response was that Fimmy came from a farm (DeBoer) and knew hard work.

COUPLE FROM CHINA BUYS DOLLAR STOREYour Dollar Store with More in Piccadilly acquired

new owners on Sept. 10, 2015. Hugh and Cathrine Tian from Beijing, China, have never worked in retail before, so being in a dollar store is a new experience for them. Hugh worked in engineering for nuclear power plants for Asian countries and Cathrine was a branch leader of a bank. Both were running all day. When they were expect-ing a baby, they decided to move to a more peaceful country. Their son is 16 months old and spends the days in day care.

In November, 2013, Hugh looked at three businesses to buy in Salmon Arm. He chose the dollar store because most of its products come from China. Prices are lower than in China and the quality is better. The Chinese gov-ernment encourages manufacturers to export, and gives 40 per cent tax cut if they do. The Canadian government controls the quality it imports.

Hugh met David, who is also from Beijing, at Chesters House of Cinnamon. It was a coincidence, says Hugh, to meet him here.

TWO KEY WOMEN AT THE OCT. 30 HOCKEY GAMEJade Viegas is on staff as the Silverbacks athletic ther-

apist. She says the hardest part of her job is constantly trying to overcome the stigma of being a female working with males. At every game she sits behind the players, ready in case a player on the ice is hurt and needs some assistance. These are designations after her name: BKin, CAT(C), ATC.

A woman linesman with a long ponytail, Cydnie Rice (71), was at the Oct. 30 game when West Kelowna visited Silverbacks and the visitors won in overtime.

SALMON ARM FILLS WITH HOCKEY FAMILIESThis weekend, Silverbacks families will be here from

near and far to watch their sons play two games against Merritt and West Kelowna. They will be wearing their sons jerseys, while the players will wear special Remembrance jerseys that will be in a silent auction this fall. There will be many social events for the parents.

Silverbacks were away last weekend. They won against Surrey and Langley and lost against Chilliwack.

COME TO A MOBILE HOME PARKRESIDENTS MEETING ON SUNDAY

A meeting of MHP residents will be held on Sunday, Nov. 15 in the lower hall of St. Johns Anglican Church in Salmon Arm. Park behind the church or on the street, and enter from 170 Shuswap St. SE half a block from the Husky gas station. The door will open at 2 p.m. and meet-ing will start at 2:30. Admission by donation at the end.

Well hear problems in your park. If you do not wish to speak, I will read your written report. No names of man-agers/owners, or name of the park. I welcome people who had a problem in their park and solved it.

TRIPLETS WERE DELIVERED LAST TUESDAYA Salmon Arm couple waited years to have a baby, and

accepted being childless. But Mahalia Meeuwsen, 42, conceived naturally without using fertility drugs, and ultrasound showed she and husband Mike would have

triplet girls. She was on bed rest in the Kamloops hospi-tal, and the three babies were delivered on Tuesday, Nov. 3, by C-section at Royal Inland Hospital. They were born about eight weeks premature, and the three infants are being cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit. They will likely remain there for some time. Doctors say iden-tical triplets happen about once in 50 million births.

RECYCLE YOUR BOOKS, DONT DISCARD THEMDo not throw books in the garbage. You can recycle

soft and hardcover books in blue bins with lids at CSRDs recycling station near the airport.

CANADIANS ARE ALL ABOUT ME, WHAT I WANTMonica Roddis spoke at the Shuswap Pro-Life Society

AGM on Nov. 3. She noticed a great difference in Canadians since she and her husband moved to Canada from England 40 years ago. People in Canada want every-thing the Brits wanted, even abortions. She was staggered by how many have been touched by abortions.

She was part of the founding of Birthright in Abbotsford and several other groups. She came to realize a woman who is coerced in having an abortion by a husband or parent, never has the pain go away. The woman needs compassion-ate help. Abortion is so commonplace now, she said.

Euthanasia was legalized in Canada in February 2015, but the current law for doctor-assisted suicide will not go into effect for 12 months in order to give sufficient time for the government to draft new laws.

Monica is very knowledgeable on abortion and euthana-sia and speaks to many groups. The people present at the AGM on Nov. 4 enjoyed her talk after a dinner prepared by Knights of Columbus at St. Josephs Catholic Church hall.

ASKEWS CELEBRATED 86TH ANNIVERSARYNovember is the month when a senior Askew opened

Salmon Arm Meat & Produce on Alexander Street in Salmon Arm. Every November 1st, the four stores two in Salmon Arm, one in Sicamous and one in Armstrong hold a customer-appreciation day with coffee, baking, and many sale items. The sale continues all month.

This year, 2015, Nov. 1st fell on a Sunday. The stores stayed with tradition and held the usual customer appre-ciation day on the Sunday. They did not expect to be busy, but staff in all four stores were rushed off their feet all day! The uptown store was extremely busy from 8 a.m. when it opened, until it closed.

BRAINSTORM THE LIBRARYS FUTURE ON NOV. 17Okanagan Regional Library is working on a new stra-

tegic plan, and there are public consultations in various communities, including Salmon Arm. James Laitinen, branch head librarian, said there will be an Idea Lab in the library on Tuesday, Nov. 17, between 2 and 5 p.m. Stay as long or as little as you like. This will be an oppor-tunity for members of the public and community stake-holders to hear future directions for the ORL as a whole, and to give input on what services and features theyd like to see in the Salmon Arm branch.

I am fortunate to have two teenagers in my home. When you have teenage boys, you also have a lot of smelly laundry, large food bills, no leftovers, lots of hair gel and a whole other take on the English language.

Back in the 80s we created terms such as gnarly, hoser and tubular and phrases such as wheres the beef and Grody to the max. These terms and phrases dont exactly resonate with the modern day teenager, and so to help bridge the generational gap I decided to investigate what random/strange terms and mis-uses of the English language kids are using these days.

Cheddary as you can imagine this has noth-ing to do with cheese. It has more to do with being upset, disturbed and/or shaken up and in particular can be used when someone is overre-acting. An example of this term is Dont be so cheddary, its not the first time I borrowed your favourite pair of basketball shoes without ask-ing!

Troll no, not the large burly mythical crea-ture. Instead, its the action of doing something that makes someone uncomfortable. An example is pushing your face against the window of a vehicle and staring at the car in the lane next to you. Its always a treat when you are driving to be entertained in such a way; at least that is the

word amongst the kids these days. As for us adults? I think Id be a lot more uncomfortable seeing the mythical creature than some teenag-ers squished-up face.

Chapped I thought I would revisit this one as it continues to be used amongst teenage social-ites. Similar to Cheddary this can be used to refer to someone being upset about something as in After Nathan got tripped in the hockey game, he was so chapped! Other terms that are being interchanged with chapped these days are rat-tled, wrecked and chinced. As you can see, there seems to be a growing number of words in the teenage dictionary starting with the letters ch. Who knew?

Versing describes who you are competing against in a game as in The Canucks are versing the Flames tonight. To be fair this term seems to be more popular with the pre-teens than teens. Either way I cringe whenever I hear the term being used.

I could go on and on, but to be safe I must stop here. As you can see, it is no wonder parents and teenagers struggle to communicate. Sure, the hormones play a factor, but it would be nice if we had an interpreter too!

SALMON ARM One school in Salmon Arm and another in Armstrong will be able to proceed with routine capi-tal projects thanks to $645,000 in provin-cial funding. These improvements will help provide healthy, safe, and modern learning environments.

Hillcrest Elementary, Salmon Arm: Ground thermal field improvements will be made, at a cost of $505,000. A replace-ment heating system will be installed, and through the use of a ground-source heat

pump, 58 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year will be saved, and energy costs will be reduced by $12,400 per year.

Pleasant Valley Secondary, Armstrong: A control system upgrade will be done, at a cost of $140,000. The control system, including CO2 sensors, requires updating to improve occupant comfort, energy efficiency and maintainability.

Work is expected to begin this year and be completed by spring 2016.

These upgrades will greatly improve

the infrastructure and operating efficien-cy of Hillcrest and Pleasant Valley schools, says Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. Our government is committed to providing safe, comfortable learning environments, and Im pleased that we are delivering these improvements to Salmon Arm and Armstrong.

These projects were approved under the provinces routine capital program. Projects were chosen based on need, pri-ority, and supporting student learning.

Since 2002, the ministry has invested $4.2 billion in new and improved schools, including $2.2 billion in seismic upgrades. This has resulted in 112 new schools, 186 schools with increased classroom space and 146 seismically upgraded schools.

Boards of education submit capital plans to the ministry that include details on school building priorities in their school districts.

The provincial government establishes an overall capital budget for schools based the ministrys capital allocation.

Thanks again, Emerald, and the won-derful staff there.

SPORTS & LEISURE

By Andrew Van Dokkumburg

Salmon Arms Junior Bantam Chargers were elimi-nated from playoff contention Sunday in heartbreaking fashion. The Chargers hosted the Kelowna Lions, a team they had defeat-ed twice in regular season action, and both teams came ready to play. The score stayed close from beginning to end, with the Kelowna Lions scoring the game-de-ciding points on a 50 yard pass completion with less than 20 sec-onds remaining in the game.

The Chargers lone offensive touchdown came on a run by the teams leading scorer

during the season, Dylan Eugster. The offensive player of the game award went to Chase Henning for his inspirational leader-ship on and off the field. The Top Lineman award went to Colby Heckrodt for his tireless fighting in the trenches.

Defensively, the Chargers played a very stout game, allowing only a handful of first downs and two big plays. Unfortunately, those two big plays were the deciding fac-tor in the game. The defensive player of the game award went to Sam Hall for his out-standing play from the corner position, including multiple tackles and one long

interception return. While the Chargers

season ended with them on the wrong side of a heartbreaking loss, the coaches are very proud of the effort the team put for-ward all year long. The players worked their tails off every week, and reinforced to the Southern Interior Football Conference that Salmon Arm is one of the toughest teams to play against in the league.

Letters to the EditorI would like to throw a ray of light on the issue

of dogs in the wildlife sanctuary. Over the last twenty-five years, members of the board of SABNES, many of whom were and are dog owners, have always voted to discourage the presence of pets in the three kilometres of trails inside the wildlife sanctuary. No great hardship, since at one count, the area has fifty-five kilome-tres of trail where dogs are welcome.

If the trail were entirely on the road allowance, the council would be within its rights to decide the issue. But much of the trail was deliberately designed to meander around swampy places, to make a turn around groups of mature trees, and generally to avoid straight lines. All three board walks are entirely on land owned, not by the city, but by Nature Trust BC. The Trust leases, for a nominal amount, their land to the BC Ministry of Environment. They and the former municipality set up SABNES, who is mandated to make the decisions regarding preservation, education and access. Under this latter category, the many vol-unteers applying for grants, planning improve-ments and actually carrying out the grunt work have made the sanctuary the envy of all who visit.

Twice in recent years, Nature BC has held its provincial convention in the Prestige Harbourfront Resorts facilities because of the natural values of our lovely bay.

I would like to encourage citizens to support their council as they vote to continue to exclude pets even on a leash and even in our very short winter when those species which do not move south are at their most vulnerable.

Tom Brighouse, Salmon Arm

[Copy of a letter sent to Salmon Arm Councillor Alan Harrison]

Mr. Harrison,I read with interest the comments

concerning the request to ban dogs from the lakeshore trail. I have lived in Raven for many years and was one of the first corporate spon-sors of improvements to the trail. I have walked the trail many, many times to town and back with my two small dogs on leash and for the most part the people I have met are polite and friendly with the excep-tion of a few, mostly elderly ladies, who have been down right rude despite the comments by Tom Brighouse. After one such encoun-ter and several nasty letters in the local papers, I discontinued my monetary contributions.

Over the years I have never encountered dogs disturbing the wildlife or being loose off the trail. Once in a while I noticed where someone had failed to pick up after their pets, in which case I removed the offending waste myself. There is lots of evidence of wild animal

waste, coyotes and such, easily identified as wild, which has been attributed to domestic animals by those who dont know any better and which I also clean up by flick-ing off the trail with a stick.

There is no doubt that some peo-ple have little consideration or respect for the trail system, such as the two young boys I corrected for using the bird houses for target practise, the disposable diapers, Tim Hortons coffee cups and fast food wrappers strewn about. Its hard to change human nature.

Over the years you have been a voice of reason and thoughtfulness on council so I urge you to not sup-port this attack on pet owners by removing their right to enjoy a quite walk with their 4-legged com-panions along the trail. It was not meant to be the reserve for the downtown business crowd and tourism to the exclusion of local users.

Thank you for your consider-ation.

I was driving home the other day with EZRock 91.5 playing on my car radio. An ad came on for a local business, and it said: In order to pay respect to our veter-ans, we will be operating at reduced hours on Remembrance Day. Just as I was thinking that this was very admirable, the ad continued with the reduced hours would be 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Well, as a person whose father landed on the shores of Normandy on D-Day in June 1944, I was now very disappoint-ed. I think most people know that the most sacred time on November 11th is at 11:00 a.m. when all ceremonies have a moments silence in honour of those lost in the various wars. So if the business is going to operate at reduced hours to honour the veter-ans, then why not operate from 12 noon to 5 p.m. so that workers could attend whatever Remem-brance Day ceremony they choose

and that 11 a.m. could still be hon-oured without it being just the start of another day of retail sales? I then went online and made some inquiries in other provinces. Manitobas Remembrance Day business hours are 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. for many businesses and malls, and some stores choose not to open at all. Saskatchewan stores are operating 12 noon to 5 p.m. on Remembrance Day. I was not able to determine hours of operation in Alberta.

I realize that quite often any stat-utory holiday (which Remembrance Day is in some provinces, but not in others) has set business hours set provincially; however, given that 11 a.m. is such a special time on November 11th, I still think hours of business on that day should not commence until at least 12 noon.

Liz, goodbye already!I want Elizabeths image removed from

Canadian Money. Im happy for the Brits to have the old gal on their money. After all, she is a great tourist attraction for them and helps greatly with keeping hotel rooms in London filled. She does her Corgi march, uniformed horse ride and wave from a bulletproof car. Visitors have a lot of fun taking pictures of those dogs and practis-ing the wave back at her. But for us, here in Canada, what does she do that betters our lives? We pay for her representatives who, as far as I can see, do little more than show up at May Day gatherings and give a speech on how grateful we all are that another winter is finally past (we already know how grateful we are since we can finally put the snow shovels away). We even have to pay the cost of her coming for a visit. Are we not worthy enough that she can pay her own way? She has enough money.

Another part of this is I dont understand why a Canadian political leader, elected by Canadians, has to go before the representative of another country to take an oath that he, or she, will do their jobs honestly and faithfully. What does Liz have to do with our choice of who governs us? I

didnt see where she came over and voted in our election. Whose country is Canada, anyway? Our political leaders are supposed to be working on our behalf, arent they? When are we going to grow up?

Back to the money; there are dozens of Canadians who are eminently suited to have their images on our money. Oh, I know that money isnt the reflection of a countrys great-ness that it once was. Those who do prefer some-one from another country on our money might like to have her face splashed for a couple of seconds on iPhones, or iPads, every time a text message was thumbed out. We should, I think, follow the example our cousins the Australians implemented some time ago. They decided to remove her face and stick the faces of fellow Australians on their money. I like the idea and am happy about anything Australian, except Cane Toads. So, I believe it is about time we decide that we are not second-class British, requiring one of them to be seen on one of the symbols of our wonderful homeland. We are first class Canadians and damn proud, damn proud to be so, eh.

Gerry Lavallee, Enderby

the tree came from. I dont think Ive seen another tree in the area like this. It looks like an orchid or ladys slipper. What amazes me most is that I dont think its a native tree; it puzzles me, says Henry.

It blooms in late June, early July. As he pulls down one of the pods a curious black horse comes over to watch and moves his head up

and down with Henrys movements. The pods are about one and a half feet long, black and hard on the outside and inside the light-co-loured paper-thin fibre is hairlike at the ends.

It grew in our pas-ture and our cattle never damaged it. It survived and kept growing.

There are no animals in the barn now, just a few horses that board in the pasture.

When Henry and Betty bought the farm they also inherited a few animals.

When we bought the property there were sheep, cattle and a few chickens, says Betty. They [the former own-ers] walked off and we walked on so Henry became an instant farm-er.

Henry and Betty raised their four chil-dren (Rachelle, Lavonne, Randy, and Lenette) on the farm. It was a good place for

kids to grow up. They spent a lot of time out-doors and in the winter Henry made a skating rink for them. It was the house where all the neighbour kids came, says Betty.

They still have a good-size garden but they dont have animals of their own. Henry, a retired school teacher, is interested in plants and wildlife, weather pat-terns and just about anything that goes on outdoors.

A number of years ago cattle egrets were here. This isnt part of their normal range.

The cattle egret belongs to the heron family and feed in grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands, and rice paddies. It eats insects and peck ticks and flies from cattle.

Henry has a diary that he has kept since 1981 where he has made notes of the weather, snowfall, and observa-tions about plants and animals.

I havent always faithfully kept it, but Im interested in weath-er patterns and the

snowpack.On March 20th, 1981

he wrote: Grass com-ing along very well, sunny, still a few degrees of frost in the evenings, weeding in the garden, strawberries and asparagus.

On that same day five years later he wrote that the snow was 90 per-cent gone.

In 1990, March 20th, he recorded: snow gone except in shady areas. In 1998 the snow had already been gone for several weeks.

That was the year of the fire, it was very dry, it was an early spring and relatively dry and hot.

If the weather this year is anything like 1982 everyone should have their winter tires on because Salmon Arm had its first heavy snowfall on November 13th. But in 2000 on the same day there was no snow but the weather had cooled off this weekend a few degrees above zero.

Around the same date in 1989 he recorded: Cattle egrets have been here for almost one month but only one

left.Two years later, on

November 9, he had nine of them in his field.

He also kept track of the snowpacks on the ski hills because he finds it all interest-ing, and he likes to see patterns and com-pare the numbers from year to year. Betty can vouch for his love of weather.

When his brother calls from Edmonton, they talk about the weather for 10 min-

utes before they talk about anything else, she says.

Thats an exaggera-tion, he says, smiling.

No it isnt.Well, he admits,

we do talk about the weather.

Its a bit of a mystery, albeit a pleasant one. Henry and Betty Zieber have been living on their farm for over 50 years and they have the usual kinds of trees on their property: willow, spruce, fir, cedar, pine, maple, and a few fruit trees. But a few years ago, a little tree sprang up, away from all the others, in middle of the field along the walking path.

I have no idea where

Salmon Arm Art Gallery is pleased to pres-ent In Natures Footsteps, an exhibition of wildlife paintings by Valerie Rogers, opening Friday, November 13 at 7:00 p.m.

Valerie is an award-winning Salmon Arm artist who paints high realism works capturing the beauty, movement and colour of the wild-life of British Columbia. Her solo exhibition will feature the six-canvas installation recently exhibited at Kelowna Airport. Her exhibition runs November 14 to December 12, and the artists talk is Thursday, November 19 at 2:00 p.m.

Viewers may already be familiar with Valeries work as she was the BC Wildlife Federations Artist of the Year in 2008, and has just been selected as the 2016 artist. She is dedicated to conservation efforts and supports many naturalist and environment organiza-tions. Her in-depth studies give us new appre-ciation for the fauna of our region.

The exhibition is generously sponsored by Gail Dyer. Admission to the gallery is by donation. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

SALMON ARM The B.C. government is funding 12 extreme weather shelter spaces in Salmon Arm this winter to help people whose health and safety may be threatened by cold weather.

The temporary spaces are available until March 31, 2016 as extreme weather alerts are issued in Salmon Arm.

The 12 spaces are at Lighthouse Inn from the Cold, 441 Third St. SW.

Extreme winter conditions can be deadly and it is critical that vulnerable people in Salmon Arm have a warm and dry place to stay, Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said. Volunteers in our community work hard to ensure that temporary shelter is avail-able during bitter weather.

Each community decides what weather conditions warrant an alert and how many spaces to activate on a given night, depend-

ing on the capacity of existing shelters and the estimated need.

Throughout British Columbia, close to 1,200 temporary emer-gency shelter spaces will be available this winter in about 100 communities.

The provincial government also funds outreach teams to help connect people with a range of services such as housing, health care and community supports. Last year, more than 7,200 peo-ple in B.C. were connected to housing, income assistance and a range of support services by pro-vincially funded homeless out-reach and shelter workers.

A list of permanent shelter spaces is available at: www.b c h o u s i n g . o r g / O p t i o n s /Emergency_Housing/ESP.

B.C. Views column by Tom FletcherVICTORIA The B.C. govern-

ment declared the first Conservation Officer Day on Nov. 4, to recognize the 110-year history of the service that started out as mostly volunteer game wardens.

This is overdue recognition for what is essentially a police force that only receives public notice when a bear or cougar has to be killed to pro-tect people.

The ceremony at the B.C. legisla-ture included awards. Chief Conservation Officer Doug Forsdick presented long-service medals and two commendations for lifesaving.

One was to CO Jason Hawkes, who rescued a family of four from their sinking boat on Kootenay Lake last June. He reached them in rough, windy conditions when they were waist-deep in water, far from shore.

The other went to CO Andrew Anaka, for rescuing an angler from an overturned boat, whom he found extremely hypothermic at the base of a cliff at a lake near Powell River on Jan. 22. A second angler didnt make it to shore.

An exemplary service medal went to CO Micah Kneller, who caught up with Fort Nelson RCMP officers and paramedics on Sept. 6, as they treated

Conservation officers a thin green linea hunter who had been attacked by a grizzly in a remote area. As darkness fell, Kneller found a sec-ond injured hunter, got the group together, built a fire and assisted until a rescue helicopter from CFB Comox lifted the hunters out at 3 a.m.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert had a couple of things on his mind at the event. He relayed a report from the B.C. Government Employees Union that there has been a 10 per cent cut in CO staff since 2002.

Not so, replied Environment Minister Mary Polak. The number has hovered around 148 in that time, she said, including seasonal staff for peak hunting and fishing periods.

Polak said extra investment has gone into trucks that serve as mobile command centres, so people arent sitting in offices waiting for the phone to ring. They patrol more and respond faster, which can be vital.

Chandra Herbert also blasted the government for a donation of $100,000 from the Freshwater Fishing Society of B.C. to increase angling enforce-ment this summer, adding more seasonal CO days. Whats next, bake sales? he said.

The real story is a bit more complicated. In March I reported that the B.C. Liberal government finally made good on a decade-old promise to turn over all revenue from freshwater fishing licence sales to the society.

Its revenue went from $7 million to $10 million once the government finally ended the practice of skimming some off for the general treasury.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett recalled that the society was established during the first years of Gordon Campbells government, a period of what Bennett called religious zeal for privatization.

The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working.

The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investi-gations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst. In short, theyre real cops, working with a group of about 150 com-pliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

They dont get much respect from an urban pub-lic informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais.

Bike event earns big donations

By Tom Fletcher, Black PressParents, advocates for the disabled and even the

opposition critic applauded the B.C. governments move to increase financial independence for people receiving disability assistance payments.

Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell has announced that effective Dec. 1, recipients will be able to receive financial gifts and inheritances of up to $100,000 without affecting their monthly payments. The current lifetime limit is $5,000 per person, after which assistance payments are reduced.

Stilwell said the change affects 96,000 people in B.C. who receive disability assistance.

Its available to all those individuals, and of course it would depend on their personal situations, their family support, friend support, whether theyre working or not working, Stilwell said. And those are definitely changes that were trying to encourage as well, to help individuals to get into the workforce, so they can create opportunities for themselves to earn and to save.

The government previously raised the earned income exemption so people can earn up to $9,600 a year without reduction of their disability assis-tance, and has encouraged B.C. businesses to hire disabled people.

James Ho, a member of the ministers council on employment and accessibility, called the gift and inheritance policy a quantum leap forward for disabled people like his son.

Kathy Bromley, a disability advocate whose daughter attends Simon Fraser University, strug-gled to control her emotions at a ceremony at the B.C. legislature announcing the change Nov. 5.

Just because Shannon was born with a disability and needs help to brush her teeth and put her coat on she needs to have a good reason to wake up every morning, Bromley said.

NDP social development critic Michelle Mungall

Disability assistance restrictions easedthe change is definitely good news for those who can take advantage of it.

I know with some of the families that Ive been working with, people have come forward wanting to help them out, and they havent been able to because of the gift rule, Mungall said.

But at the end of the day, what we know is that the income assistance rates are very low, they are leaving people in poverty, and we see policies like the maternity leave clawback.

Dear Reena,I have a disorder called chemical sensitivity,

which is sensitivity to a huge array of products. So I buy a lot of less toxic products such as vinegar and baking soda, but I tend to react to those as well. I would like to remove the spots on my kitchen faucet without using products that will provoke a reaction. Any thoughts? Bella

Dear Bella,Heres a good one! Polish the taps with wax

paper to remove water spots on your faucet. Dear Reena,My least favorite household chore is cleaning the

fridge. Is there a way to reduce the need to clean the glass shelves in my fridge? I am looking for a solu-tion that doesnt take up a lot of space and isnt much work? Thanks, Dan

Dear Dan,Line the fridge shelves with plastic wrap. The

wrap isnt overly noticeable and reduces the amount of times per year that you need to clean the fridge. Change the plastic as needed.

Hi Reena,I have been going through my dinner napkins

only to find lots of food stains that dont seem to come out with regular laundry products. Is there an old-time method that can help? I seem to remember something about boiling them. It hasnt been warm enough to hang them out on the line for days and the sun seems to be hiding! Can you help me to keep using these re-usable napkins or is it time to replace them? Thanks, Vivian

Dear Vivian,Here is a spot remover that you can use to pre-

treat the napkin stains as well as several other fab-rics. Into a spray bottle combine: two third cups ammonia, two third cups Dawn dish soap, one quarter cup baking soda and 2 cups warm water. Spray napkins and wash with heavy-duty deter-gent. Or boil napkins in 10 cups water and one cup washing soda. Boil for 5 mins. and air dry or hang outside (test on inconspicuous area first).

Household Hints of the Week:Prevent wineglasses from toppling over in the

dishwasher by gently securing them to the rack with an elastic band.

Get rid of static electricity on clothing by running a wire hanger on the underside of the pants or dress.
