Channels help fish go upriver

Chinook salmon are getting lots of support from their human backers.

Fisheries staff and volunteers wearing hip wad-ers and carrying sand bags have been helping to consolidate smaller channels in the Salmon River delta into one deeper one to help fish make it up-river to spawn.

Ron Pederson, president of the Salmon Arm Fish & Game Club, says Fisheries and Oceans Canada contacted him in order to line up more help on the delta, should it be needed.

“You can only do a little bit of work at a time, otherwise it disturbs the water too much...,” he says. “It’s a pretty hard job to do; you have hip waders on and when you walk you’re sinking al-most up to your knees.”

Hank Shelley with the Fish & Game Club, who worked in fisheries for 24 years, says he remem-bers a similar low-water problem in 2003, when about a quarter mile of channel was dug with shovels and sand-bagged.

Meanwhile, upriver at Gene Puetz’s fish-count-ing gate on his farm in Silver Creek, he’s seen about 100 fish so far this season.

“They’re trickling in,” he says, noting the fish hatchery in Merritt has a target of collecting 25 brood pairs.

The hatchery, which can produce a better eggs-to-fry ratio, strips the eggs and milk and fertil-izes the eggs. They hatch from January to March and are eventually released back into the Salmon River.

The hatchery took 14 fish late last week and

another eight on Sunday, but do not take more than a third of the total run.

“They need double what they’ve got, at least. It might be a slow process,” Pu-etz says.

“We get chinooks right into October. Normally, the main spawn is the 10th to the 15th of this month.”

Puetz said 220 fish went through four years ago.

“Hopefully we’ll get at least that.”Stu Cartwright with Fisheries and

Oceans Canada says water temperatures in Salmon Arm Bay reached 23 degrees Celsius during the hot weather, aided by low water flows.

“Anything over 20 degrees is not good news for salmon. Of course we have mil-foil and other things that complicate the situation.”

However, he is optimistic that current measures will have some success.

One concern Pederson raises is he’s been told tourists have been catching salmon from boats near Sandy Point. He has raised the concern with Fisheries and is waiting to hear back. He points out

there is no salmon season there, so anyone doing so would be fishing illegally.

Safeway closing Salmon Arm store

Rumours about Safe-way shutting down have circulated before, but this time it’s true.

The store in Centeno-ka Park Mall will close its doors on Thursday, Nov. 5, probably about 6 p.m., says Keri Sco-bie, communications manager for Western Canada for Sobeys Inc. In 2013, Sobeys Inc. acquired Safeway op-erations in Canada.

“These are never easy decisions to make when you close a store,

particularly with the impact it has on em-ployees...,” she said.

“This is really a regu-lar part of our business operations. We continu-ously are evaluating our options to ensure we have the right store for-mats in the right mar-ket. We look at lots of factors – demograph-ics, location, cost of im-provements, historical sales and the competi-tive landscape.”

She said 48 employ-ees will be affected by the closure, “some of whom may move to other locations within

our store network.”Lance Johnson, gen-

eral manager of the mall, said he wasn’t aware Safeway was closing when the Mar-ket News called Tues-day. However, he said, he’s been hearing the rumour over the past 10 years, so he has contin-gency plans in place.

“I don’t think there’s another location in Salmon Arm that can offer what that location offers.”

The Safeway store has been operating in Salmon Arm since 1980.

n Dave Reed stands next to the 17-foot Penobscot sailboat he recently built in Sicamous.

Five years in the making, Dave Reed’s 17-foot Penobscot sailboat is ready to set sail, or at least take out for a row.

Reed says he’s had a lifelong interest in boats and began mak-ing them when he was 14. The Penobscot is his latest, and he says the most labour-intensive he has ever constructed.

“This one has been a long haul, it’s taken me about five years to make it,” said Reed. “It’s quite a complicated boat – certainly the most complicated one I’ve ever made.”

The boat, explains Reed, is a lapstrake build, where the wooden hull planks overlap.

“I think there’s seven planks on each side, each one has to be fitted for length, for curve and then, as they overlap each other, there’s a lip about an inch wide that has to be planed to make a tight fit with the plank next to it,” said Reed, adding he’s yet to make the mast for the rig – something he may get to next year.

“It’s a complicated process to make them too,” said Reed.

Without sails, Reed’s Penob-scot is still perfectly functional as a rowboat, and he says he’s just waiting for a nice day, weather-wise, to get the boat on the lake for a row.

“It has provisions for two sets of oars, where typically one per-son can row from either seat to keep the boat level depending on the load,” Reed explained. “But also… you could have one person on each of the four oars. So two people on the same bench rowing side-by-side.”

Reed’s passion for boats ex-tends to rowing, having been part of a rowing team as well as having rowed 27-foot whalers in the navy.

His vision for his latest boat, and the Shuswap, is to see a re-turn to rowing as a non-compet-itive recreation through which people can spend time togeth-er, explore and receive a good workout in the process.

“This is a boat where you can go from A to B and take all your camping gear and stay over-night,” said Reed.

“One of my fantasies is to row around Shuswap Lake some-time and camp each night as I’m going along the way…

“That’s what I’d like to re-vive. People go on kayak trips and canoe trips, but they don’t typically do it much anymore with a rowboat,” he said.

“And actually, rowing is a far more efficient way of propel-ling yourself. I’ve had several kayaks, and am probably going to make another one this winter, but rowing, you get your arms and your legs and your back into it, and you’ve got far more power and you can go far more distance carrying a far bigger load than you can with other means.”

A clinical social worker by profession, Reed says he does all his construction projects, be it boats, houses or crokinole boards, in his spare time.

While he knows of other hobby boat builders in B.C., Reed says most tend to focus on building “kayaks and canoes and things like that.” While pleased with his latest achieve-ment, Reed suspects his next project will likely be less in-volved than the Penobscot.

“I’ve got to make sure I don’t build one as complicated again,” he said. “It’s just a heck of a lot of work in it.”

B.C. offering help to Syrian refugees

The B.C. government has added $1 million to its budget for help-ing refugees settle in the province, and has opened a toll-free in-formation line for those who want to sponsor people fleeing violence in Syria.

Premier Christy Clark announced the funding in Vancouver Tuesday,

along with a toll-free information number for community groups and private sponsors at 1-877-952-6914.

Clark said the prov-ince currently spends about $4 million a year to support the federal program that settles im-migrants in B.C. The extra funds will be re-served for assistance to Syrian refugees, she said.

“It is our belief that it’s just not good enough to totally open our doors,” Clark said. “We have to make sure that when refugees get here, we’re doing ev-erything that we can to help them realize the Canadian dream and find their way as seam-lessly as possible in to British Columbia.”

The one-time invest-ment will be used for

trauma counselling, help for for groups of citizens to navigate the refugee sponsorship process, foreign cre-dential recognition and community and em-ployer supports includ-ing matching training funds for those com-mitted to hiring a Syrian refugee.

Counterfeit cash in circulation

Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP are warning area businesses and the public to be on the lookout for coun-terfeit American currency.

In the last month, there have been numerous reports throughout the Okanagan of fake $20 and $50 U.S. bills being found in the region.

At least three counterfeit bills have been found in Vernon and a couple of other neighbouring communities have reported receiving the funny money. All cases so far have involved counterfeit U.S. $20 and $50 bills.

“All businesses are urged to care-fully check the authenticity of any currency prior to accepting it as pay-ment,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy.

The three cases in Vernon are re-

lated to a couple of grocery stores and a bank, who received the fake bills in a night deposit.

If you believe you have a fake bill, or have information in regards to the counterfeit currency, call your local RCMP detachment.

“We believe it’s probably all relat-ed and we’d like to be able to track the movements on this,” said Nose-worthy, who added the fake bills are “fairly good counterfeits.”

Noseworthy said there are some online sites that will show the public and businesses the security features for American bills.

“If you have any questions for any bills you do have, you can contact the RCMP and we’ll investigate the bill and confirm whether it’s authen-tic or counterfeit,” she said.

There are no suspects in the mat-ter.

I don’t know how many times over the years I have been asked how I can claim to be a practitioner of catch-and-release while, at the same time, also write in my column sometimes about cooking and preparing fish for a meal.

The answer is simple: I enjoy fishing.

I do not see a conflict be-tween catch-and-release and eating fish. Truth be told, there is an ever-increasing number of reasons why there is something to be said for catching and cook-ing fish from local waters. Quite simply, it is safer and healthier than using farmed or imported fish.

I release the vast majority of fish I catch immediately and only keep a fish when I plan to eat it – usually right away as a shore lunch. I do not catch fish and put them in the freezer.

I buy most of the fish I cook at home from one of several fresh fish shops in the area. That, however, is a whole other kettle of fish.

As much as I enjoy fish-ing and eating fish, I do have concerns about wild

fish stock populations and, consequently, advocate the practice of catch-and-release as a means of helping to pre-vent fish populations from dwindling or disappearing from what are, in certain cases, too heavily fished waters. I have completely stopped salmon fishing alto-gether and have stated that I will not cast another line for Interior salmon until their numbers come back signifi-cantly. I can only hope.

A fair number of B.C.’s salmon and trout waters have been designated “catch-and-release fishing only,” in an at-tempt to preserve the quality of sport fishing. Catch-and-release has been similarly promoted by governments

as a management tool in an effort to reduce the cost of rearing and using stocked fish, while at the same time ensuring the sustainability of natural fish stocks.

Countless studies have measured the effectiveness of catch and release on fish mortality and, in pretty well each and every study, the link between fish mortal-ity and post release survival rates boils down to one thing: the amount of stress fish are subjected to while on the line.

To put things in simpler terms, the manner in which fish are caught and played is as important as the manner in which they are released. Most fish are caught using either some form of artificial lure or natural bait. Numer-ous studies have compared mortality rates and angling methods, and have found the use of artificial baits, such as lures or flies, does significantly reduce both the incidence of fish swal-lowing bait too deeply and the rates of fish mortality. A majority of fish mortality studies would also seem to indicate the physiological

effects of stress (as a result of being caught) are usually pretty well reversed within a 24-hour period. One could infer from these studies that the use of heavy tackle is desirable in lowering mor-tality rates, and conversely, that lighter tackle and lower strength lines may increase the risk of mortality.

Common sense, as well as scientific data, show the longer fish are out of the water the more they become stressed, and that a minimal amount of handling not only reduces the amount of post-catch stress, but also the risk of physical injury due to struggling and loss of body slime.

Holding a fish out of the water puts added stress on its inner body and organs that are, in part, held in place by the external force of water pressure. I cradle fish right on the surface – but still in the water – when removing the hook.

Proper catch-and-release practices are important not only to the survival of fish that are caught, but also to the future of fish generations in years to come.

Wisdom behind catch-and-release

The new school year is officially underway. While education is always evolving, big

changes are coming to how teachers teach.In the coming years, traditional teaching is

being phased out. No longer will educators be standing in front of the classroom lecturing while students follow along from textbooks.

Instead, classrooms will be interactive with teachers discovering individual student’s pas-sions. Teachers will direct and fuel those inter-ests on a new learning path.

Gone will be the days where everyone has to read the same tired book and write a report on it. Eventually, letter grades will be gone too, and grade-point-average won’t be the be-all-end all to get into university.

It’s a welcome change for students who don’t thrive in the traditional classroom setting.

If teachers can tap into what individual stu-dents get excited about, the potential to unlock their brain from boredom and turn it into drive and passion is exciting news. Some of this type of teaching is already happening at Walnut Grove Secondary and the new Yorkson Creek Middle School, among other schools. This dis-trict has seen a lot of success with it.

Many teachers are already adapting their teaching style to this new way of reaching stu-dents.

There are no two students alike. Some chil-dren thrive on tests and report deadlines, others crash and burn. Change is hard for all, but this is a directive coming from the government that parents and students should support.

Individual learning has the potential to un-lock bright minds which can make for a bright future. Our future leaders and innovators are in our schools.

South ShuSwapBroadening seniors’ horizons

Seniors in the South Shuswap area will be able to access free one-on-one computer sup-port starting this fall.

The Literacy Al-liance of the Shus-wap Society (LASS), in partnership with the South Shuswap Health Services Soci-ety (SSHSS) and its affiliated committee, Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre (CIS-RC), will be offering free computer tutoring sessions and monthly technology workshops for seniors.

LASS is currently looking for volunteer tutors who are able to commit one hour per week to help lo-cal seniors with basic computer skills such as how to use a mouse, how to set up an email

account, how to search for information on the Internet, or how to use an iPad or tablet.

Volunteer tutors are needed for the new program in Blind Bay as well as for the exist-ing program in Salmon Arm.

The computer pro-gram adds an impor-tant component to the slate of services al-ready provided by the Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre.

These include foot care, massage, frozen meals, seniors lun-cheons, hearing tests, income tax prepara-tion, seniors shopping and transportation and support groups.

If you are interested in becoming involved with the Blind Bay or Salmon Arm Cyber

Seniors program as a volunteer tutor, please contact: Jennifer Find-

lay, literacy outreach co-ordinator, by call-ing 250-833-2095 or

by sending an email to [email protected].

n Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre chair George Landry, Tom Wainwright, South Shuswap Health Services Society president Sue Mc-Crae, volunteer tutor Shirley Stuart, Literacy Association of the Shuswap co-ordinator Jennifer Findlay and resource centre deputy chair Simon Brown celebrate the new computer training program for seniors, which begins this fall. More volunteer tutors are needed.

A fire destroyed a home Monday night in the 6700 block of Eagle Bay Road at Cinnemousin Narrows Prop-erties.

Columbia Shuswap Re-gional District Fire Services Co-ordinator Kenn Mount says the property is about two to three kilometres beyond the local fire suppression area, outside of CSRD’s re-sponse jurisdiction.

“Taxpayers pay for fire suppression and there is a defined boundary driven by the Fire Underwriters Survey, which establishes how far we go and the type of rate resi-dents enjoy based on water supply and proximity to a fire hall,” says Mount, noting the regional district’s response to the fire was limited. “We can run the risk of having an in-cident within boundaries with all the apparatuses outside of the fire suppression area.”

To provide some assistance, the Eagle Bay Firehall staged apparatus on the fire suppres-sion boundary and sent in a single secondary unit with minimal manpower to make sure the fire didn’t spread to the forest or into the fire sup-pression boundary.

“We would only suppress it if it was a great threat but there were no immediate life safety issues and it wasn’t going to impact other ar-eas,” said Mount Wednesday. “Imagine if this was a month ago in extreme heat; that would have had a different tactical response.”

Mount says it sounds like the cause of the fire was a wood stove where flames got out onto the shake roof.

“We probably would have been able to contain it to the roof,” he said. “We were lucky it was raining and the winds were calm. Mother Na-ture was supportive and resi-dents were able to confine it to the property.”

Mount spoke with the homeowner, who he says has been in the home for about a month, and put him in touch with CSRD’s Emergency So-cial Services.

“We also sent out fire of-ficers to make sure the over-haul was done properly,” he says, noting it is a phase in suppressing the fire in which

remaining property is sal-vaged and heavy equipment is used to overturn everything to make sure there are no hot spots that might flare up. “We were doing our own due dili-gence.”

Mount says homeowners who live beyond fire suppres-sion boundaries have to pay a huge premium, typically more than double the cost of insurance within boundary lines.

“You have to understand the risk,” he says of people who buy property beyond fire suppression areas. “Hitting that range (distance) would require a satellite firehall.”

Mount says he gets a cou-ple of requests for service ex-tensions every year.

But the process of extend-ing fire suppression services is lengthy and involves many issues and a lot of research, including distance from a firehall, access to water, ana-lyzing properties and more.

He says some areas of the regional district are “maxed out” in terms of the number of properties already receiv-ing the service.

While the number of chim-ney fires is declining – 10 in 2012, four in 2014 and six so far this year, Mount reminds homeowners that this is the time to make sure chimneys are clean, especially where there is no fire service.

Meanwhile, the Eagle Bay fire is under investigation by the RCMP.

Connected to her community

An almost devastat-ing experience ulti-mately solidified Cindy Derkaz’s direction in life.

It was 1967 and flames engulfed the his-toric Montebello Hotel in Salmon Arm. The inferno spread to other adjacent businesses, in-cluding Derkaz Shoes, owned by the then 11-year-old’s parents, Walter and Betty.

“The store was sub-stantially burned,” said Derkaz, the North Okanagan-Shuswap Liberal candidate.

“The bank manager called the next morn-ing and said the line of credit was cancelled be-cause there was no busi-ness and then there was a call that there would be no insurance.”

Her parents were left wondering how they would put food on the table, but the tide turned when Walter contacted Vernon lawyer Neil Davidson. Within days, all financial activity had been restored.

“I decided then that I wanted to be a lawyer to help people with their problems,” said Derkaz.

Born in Ontario, she moved to the Shuswap in 1958 at age three. Her dad ran the Con-sumers Co-Operative but he branched out and opened a shoe store in 1958. Ten years later, a store was added in

Vernon, where Derkaz worked shifts during summer holidays.

Derkaz, 59, was fo-cused at an early age.

“I was horse crazy from the time I could walk and I was deter-mined to have a horse at age nine,” she said.

Trying to encourage this equine passion, her parents sent her to live with a Notch Hill fam-ily for the summer. She was barely on site when she negotiated terms to purchase a horse for $150.

Derkaz graduated from Salmon Arm Se-nior High in 1972 at age 16, and immediately went off to law school in Vancouver. Completing her law degree in 1978, she articled in Salmon Arm, joined a law firm and eventually opened her own practice.

She sold the firm in 1991 and retired as a lawyer in 1996 so she could be more involved in the community.

“I grew up as an only child and had the sense that you need to give back to the communi-ty,” she said.

Derkaz has also been involved in literacy pro-grams and the film so-ciety, but her proudest achievement is helping found the successful Shuswap Community Foundation, which uses endowments to support local charities.

Another passion is running, which she of-ten does with her hus-band of 26 years, Don Derby. Derkaz has ac-complished half-mara-thons and she believes running has provided her with some basic skills to prepare her for

being an MP in Ottawa.“I’ve learned to be

on the ground and no-tice the small changes. When you are running a route, you notice chang-es in the seasons and in people. In some ways, it takes the same focus (to run for office). You need the skills of concentrat-ing and observing, set-ting a goal and accom-plishing it.”

While she was busy with her volunteer du-ties, Derkaz found it important to put all of that on hold and enter the political fray.

“Over the last five years I watched the direction Canada was taking under the Harper government and I real-ized that if you don’t like what you see, you need to get active,” she said.

“I was concerned

about our democracy and economy. There’s a problem with the wealthy getting wealth-ier and leaving the rest behind.”

- This is the first in a series of four profiles which will feature the election candidates in the North Okanagan-Shuswap riding.

Top tips to avoid coughs and colds at school(NC) With kids

back to their regular routine of school and extracurricular activities, families often struggle to keep everyone healthy during the dreaded cough and cold season.

Here are a few tips to keep your kids germ-free:

• Start off with getting a good night’s sleep. Take cues from physical signs of sleepiness (yawning, difficulty focusing your eyes, a lack of c o n c e n t r a t i o n ) , indicating that it’s time to go to bed.

• Be active as often as possible. Make exercise a priority for both you

and your family’s physiological and p s y c h o l o g i c a l health. For parents and children who stay active it’s common, to experience some post exercise pain or even injury. When injuries or pain occur, try relieving muscle pain by applying a topical like Arnicare Gel. The gel, which contains arnica montana and other medicinal i n g r e d i e n t s , temporarily relieves muscle pain and reduces swelling and bruising.

• Adopt healthy eating habits to feel better, naturally. As you get your children ready for

school, make a fresh start with healthy foods to nourish their brains and help them grow.

• The fall means the start of the cold season. Look for a homeopathic medicine such as Coryzalia to relieve cold symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose and acute rhinitis in children ages one month and up and adults alike.

• Nasal and skin irritations often accompany runny noses and congestion. Cicadermine is a homeopathic, a n t i b i o t i c - f r e e solution, to soothe skin and

facilitate healing of irritations, such as chapped skin, superficial wounds and redness from constant wiping and blowing.

• When stubborn coughs arise, many parents think that they are out of treatment options for their younger children. But there is a solution available to relieve coughs in children under six. Stodal is a homeopathic honey-based cough syrup used to effectively relieve both dry and wet coughs in children from one to 11 years of age. Keep in mind, these homeopathic medicines may not

be right for everyone, always read and follow the label.

To help parents survive the cough and cold season, the experts at Boiron have developed the “Homeopathic Medicine Finder” App, which helps users quickly and efficiently find the most appropriate h o m e o p a t h i c medicines to relieve symptoms from joint pain, insect bites, stress, colds and flu. You can find the recommended solution, its indication and dosage, coupons and store locations. The app is available at www.boiron.ca/app.

(NC) Packing a lunch for you kids can be a delicate balance of creating something that tastes good, is healthy and nutritious and cost effective. But meeting all of these criteria doesn’t have to break the bank, follow these tips and tricks to create an easy-to-make, affordable and delicious school lunch for your kids:

Pack smart. Instead of putting each snack into different baggies, which can get expensive fast, group foods together in Tupperware’s for a bento-box style lunch.

Keep cool. Freezing your kids’ favourite juice or large water bottle is a smart way to keep your family’s lunch box cool without investing in an icepack. The best part is that by lunch time it’ll be thawed out and ready for drinking.

Get creative with leftovers. Making use of leftovers from last night

can be a great way to minimize waste and keep lunches interesting. Try using leftover roasted

chicken for a fun-Mexican style burrito or quesadilla.

Go techy. Check for savings on lunch box items by using Zweet, the new generation app for grocery cash back rewards. Rather than spending hours clipping coupons to take with you into the store, Zweet allows you to save on different products

every week. This new app was designed to replace cumbersome grocery coupons with a user-

f r i e n d l y m o d e l where you m e r e l y snap a shot of y o u r r e c e i p t , upload to Z w e e t ’s m o b i l e app and

see savings accumulate in your account within 24 hours. Once you hit the $20 mark, you can request to have a cheque mailed. A sweet way to save!

This fun, healthy and wallet-friendly lunch is perfect to make for your kids to stay on budget and keep them fueled for the whole day.

Successful events provide spin-offfor school lunch program & parkThe members of the Salmon Arm

Rotary Club (aka as “the lunch club”) have been very busy the last few months raising money for local projects. Two successful fundraisers were held, with the proceeds used to support club projects including the elementary school lunch program, youth exchange and a new picnic shelter for Blackburn Park.

Wine FestivalOur annual Shuswap Wine Festival

was a great success, with over 400 people attending, sampling 80 different wines from 19 British Columbia wineries. The wines were complemented by chocolates, cheeses, and savories supplied by sponsors throughout the Okanagan Valley, as well as a marvellous wide assortment of appetizers.

Thanks to people in the community who bought tickets and to our 20 local sponsors who supported the ticket sales drive, we were able to raise $9,000.

Shopping SpreeThe Club sold tickets to a shopping

spree at Askew’s Foods throughout October and November. A second prize was a $250 gas card from theCo-op Gas Bar.

The Shopping Spree ticket draw was held at 5:00pm November 30 at Uptown Askews. The winner of the shopping spree was Pat Timpany of Salmon Arm. The winner of the $250 gas card was Lindsay Quintal.

Mr. and Mrs. Timpany had their shopping spree at the downtown Askew’s Foods location at 7:30am Saturday, December 5. They were ably assisted by Rotarian Dan Hudson, who made a fantastic run around the store and totted up $1,595 in groceries

for them. A BIG THANK-YOU to all of you who purchased tickets. Approximately $5,800 was raised.

In the New YearRotarians will get an early start at the

31st annual Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet - the BBQ gets fired up at around 4AM so that our renowned Beef-on-a-Bun is ready for the over 500 participants and volunteers by 10AM, January 17th.

We have some other great events planned over the next few months including a “Dram Good Evening”

scotch tasting and dinner event, Sunday, January 25th, 5PM at The Wicked Spoon. Limited tickets are available.

Also in the works is a vocational information event in partnership with Okanagan College. This free event will offer one-on-one advice to individuals interested in entering different fields of work. It will be a chance about education requirements and what to expect on the job. Stay tuned for details at www.salmonarmrotary.org.

Youth ExchangeThis year’s Inbound Youth Exchange students are – Gustavo “Fred” Marques and Fernando de Castro, both from Brazil. Both are 17 years old and attending Salmon Arm Secondary School. Fred is sponsored by the Salmon Arm Rotary Club and Fernando by the Shuswap Rotary Club.

Outbound Youth Exchange interviews are held each year in September. More info @ www.rotary.org or email Warne Lynd at [email protected] Gustavo “Fred” Marques

for them. A BIG THANK-YOU to all of you who purchased tickets. Approximately $5,800 was raised.

UPDATES A L M O N A R M

Experience the culture of another countryIt’s time to start thinking about Youth Exchange.

Rotary School Lunch program expands

www.salmonarmrotary.org

Are you between the ages of 15 and 18? Does a year overseas sound good to you? Early this month, the Rotary Club of Salmon Arm will be interviewing candidates for the Rotary Youth Exchange Program for travel the following school year (September 2016 to July 2017). Youth Exchange involves Rotary Clubs worldwide. We host a high-school aged student from another country here in Salmon Arm, and in exchange a community overseas hosts a student from this area.

When you go to the other country, you attend school, learn the language, and get to experience the most amazing cultures. You will stay with families in the host country. Every student we have ever sponsored to go on the Program raves about it, and emphasizes how it has changed their lives.

Carly just got back from a year in Colombia, and told us how much she had learned about the culture there, the interesting places she visited with her school and her host families – and she can speak fluent Spanish now!

The year before, Steven came back from Japan, a place he had wanted to go for a number of years before. He told us about the different ways the Japanese do things, the food they eat, and how much he was welcomed by his host families – and he can speak Japanese.

For this school year, Sam has just

left for Denmark. He was at our Club meeting in July and let us know just how much he is looking forward to his time away, and he has already posted his first video about life in Denmark!

We have just welcomed our newest “inbound student” Sarina from Switzerland. She has already begun school at S.A.S.S. Some of our previous visitors enjoyed their time here so much they come back to see us.

Look for our posters at school, and check with your Counsellors so that you don’t miss this opportunity. Feel free to message us at Facebook.com/Salmonarmrotary Gabriel Di Bello, student from Brazil

2010-11, returned for a visit this spring.

Rotary Youth Exchange Students at the Rotary International Convention,5 June 2015, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

In October 2014 the Salmon Arm Rotary Club, in partnership with Askew’s Foods, launched a school lunch program for children in need of daily lunch assistance at elementary schools. The program provided assistance to children from Falkland, Enderby, Salmon Arm, Silver Creek, Sorrento and Sicamous.

The lunch program assisted approximately 250 - 275 children on a daily basis from October thru June. Kids were provided healthy foods including cheese, fruit, vegetables, granola bars, sandwiches, juice, and milk. Each school is responsible for shopping for its own lunch ingredients and distribution within the school.

The positive outcomes from this program included improved attendance, and students more focused and ready to learn as a result of not being hungry.

Anxiety levels decreased around food security, and a positive change in behaviour was noted in vulnerable students.

There was no stress or stigma for students to get the lunch support needed as items were made available to all children in need, including those who might just have left their lunch at home.

Program coordinator Kari Wilkinson is thrilled to announce the program will be continuing, and funds have been secured to include high schools in Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Enderby for this year.

To help raise the funds, the Salmon Arm Rotary Club will be raffling off a three-minute Askew’s Foods Shopping Spree again this fall. For more information, please contact Kari Wilkinson, 250-832-8261 or [email protected].

Fingerstyle guitarist comes to Wicked SpoonVancouver’s multi award-win-

ning acoustic guitarist/singer/songwriter Don Alder will per-form songs from his recently released album Armed and Dangerous from 8 to 9:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18 at the Wicked Spoon.

Alder plays acoustic guitar with a passion that has quickly

earned him a reputation as Van-couver’s “best-kept little secret.”

He is a world-class fingerstyle guitarist with a “wow factor” that has led to multiple endorse-ment deals with major manufac-turers and a collaboration with Greenfield guitars to produce a signature acoustic guitar.

Alder’s music is original,

blending elements of jazz, roots, folk, blues, bluegrass and world music. He has been described as the ‘renaissance man’ of acoustic guitar. Alder has toured interna-tionally, gaining global acclaim and winning numerous awards (2007 International Fingerstyle Championship, 2010 Guitar Su-perstar, 2011 Guitar Idol III).

May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, and it’s time to talk about what you can do to make your life healthier so you can live better, longer. But what if you’ve already taken steps toward adopting a healthy lifestyle, while your spouse and kids linger in their old ways? With a bit of patience and understanding, you can share your inspiration and help them get moving too.The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services re commends a few tips for how to get a loved one to join you in being more active and fit.1. Motivate! Dig down and empathize with your spouse or kids. You remember what it was like to

put off taking action, right? Tell your loved ones you know how hard it is to beat inertia. Invite them to join you at every opportunity. Don’t nag; just inspire and

be a good example. 1. Change the way you celebrate. Instead of offering sugary treats or junk food as a reward for an achievement or momentous occasion (such as a good report card, a promotion at work or a birthday), offer

a non-food gift. Even better, offer a gift that will help them get in shape, such as a gym membership or some sports equipment. 1. Do more activities together. Why not take a walk to gether after dinner? Or propose a bike ride on Sunday afternoon?

You may even be able to join a recreational sports league together or take up a new couples sport, such as tennis or kayaking.

All sports are about numbers and never more than early in a team’s season. Your Heat hockey club is no different – so let’s get to some numbers:

0 – The number of days until the first regu-lar season game ver-sus the Creston Valley Thundercats. It’s at 7 p.m. at the Art Holding Memorial Arena tonight (Sept. 11). Be there!

1 – The number of 16-year-old rookies who made the opening day roster, an aggressive energy-filled youngster from Quesnel – Nolan Parr.

2 – The number of goals scored by your team in a 4-2 exhibition loss versus the North Okanagan Knights. There were 17 rookies in the lineup vying for a spot on the 23-player roster. They played their hearts out against a vet-eran-laden crew in front of 268 hockey-starved fans.

3 – The number of goals scored by the Heat in an exhibition tie versus the Sicamous Eagles. This frenzied

tilt saw two veteran rosters go at each other like game 7 in the play-offs. Crash and bash all through this clash!

4 – The number of as-sistant coaches to Head Coach Brad “Foxy” Fox – Kurt Torbohm, Casey Patterson, Cody Inkster and Shane Mainprize, all back for another season.

– The number of 20 year olds on this year’s roster – Captain Trevor “Oak” Okino, Assis-tant Captain Braden “Hughie” Hughes, As-sistant Captain Alexan-der “Durbs” Durbeniuk,

Tommy “Brownie” Brown and Travis “Church” Churchill.

8 – The number of rookies on this year’s roster. Pat Brady (Lil-looet), Ethan Buck (Dawson Creek), Tony Dennis (Chase), Mi-chael Fidanza (Kam-loops), Grady Musgrave (Merritt), Nolan Parr (Quesnel), Kyle Riley (Quesnel) and Craig Stewart (Calgary).

16 – The number of different places the lads call their hometown.

17 – Wannabees –came to Main Camp in an attempt to play for

the Heat – eight will!19 – The September

date the first annual Alumni Game is played at 3 p.m. in Chase. The worn-out oldies from the Chase Chiefs take on recent retirees from the Chase Heat. Ad-mission by donation and the profit goes to Chase Minor Hockey! Tail Gate Party/Beer Garden/50/50 – laughs and giggles for a great cause.

Grab your GPS and your kids and join the Chase Firefighter’s Association for their Cache Bash.

This modern-day treasure hunt provides a unique adventure for any age. The association has hidden more than 25 new caches in Chase and surround-ing areas, including a self-guided historic tour se-ries.

At 11 a.m. local historian David Lepsoe will be offering free guided history tours of Chase to those registered.

Cachers can roam the village in search of geo-caches throughout the day, and are invited to return for the social at 3 p.m. in the Chase Fire Hall. A delicious by-donation BBQ will be available as well as games and information booths.

Tours of the firehall, trucks and equipment will take place as well as child-oriented demonstrations.

A silent auction will open at 3 p.m., and guests

can try their luck at 50/50 tickets and door prizes.Those who have registered for the Cache Bash

US Secretary of State John Kerry has just phoned Russian Foreign Minister Ser-gei Lavrov warning him not to “escalate the conflict” by increas-ing Moscow’s military support for the belea-guered Syrian regime.

He stamped his foot quite hard, telling Lav-rov that his govern-ment’s actions could “lead to greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk confrontation with the anti-Isil coalition oper-ating in Syria.”

What the Russians have actually done, so far, is to send an ad-vance military team to Damascus of the sort that is normally de-ployed to prepare for the arrival of a much larger military force.

They have also sent an air traffic control centre and housing units for its personnel to a Syrian airbase.

It suggests that Mos-cow is getting ready to go in to save Presi-dent Bashar al-Assad’s regime. It has given Assad diplomatic sup-port, financial aid and

some weapons over the course of the four-year-old Syrian civil war, but it will take more than that to save him now. That would include at least an air-lift of heavy weapons, but maybe also direct Russian air support for Assad’s exhausted troops.

They need it. Since the fanatical fighters of “Islamic State” (or Isil, as the US State Depart-ment calls it) captured Palmyra in central Syria in May, they have advanced steadily westward from their new base.

One month ago they captured the mostly Christian town of al-Qaratayn, north-east of Damascus. (The inhab-itants fled, of course). And now IS forces are within 30 kilometres of the M5, the key high-way that links Damas-cus with the other parts of Syria that remain under government con-trol.

The jihadis captured Palmyra, by the way, because the “anti-Isil coalition” – the US Air Force, in practice – did not drop a single bomb in its defence.

It made at least a thousand air strikes to save Kobani, the Kurdish city on the border with Turkey that was besieged by IS fighters, because the Kurds were US allies. Whereas Palmyra was defended by Assad’s soldiers, so the US let Islamic State have it.

One can imagine Kerry’s (and Obama’s) horror at the idea that by defending Palmyra they would be seen as protecting Assad’s brutal regime, but if Islamic State troops manage to cut the M5 it will be seen as a sign of the regime’s im-pending defeat. At that point, up to half the people who still live in government-controlled areas – around 17 mil-lion – may panic and start trying to get out of Syria.

They would obvi-ously include the re-ligious minorities (Christians, Alawites, Druze), some 5 million people who have good reason to fear slavery, rape and murder at the hands of Islamic State.

The millions of Sunni Muslims who have served the Syr-ian government and its army would also be at risk. So let’s say 4 or 5 million more refugees pouring out across Syr-ia’s borders, to join the four million who have already fled.

What they left be-hind would be a Syria entirely controlled by the extremists. The only remaining ques-tion would be wheth-er the jihadis roll on through behind the refugees, overrunning Lebanon and Jordan as well, or whether they fall to fighting among themselves.

All three major Is-lamist groups – Islamic State (which Turkey

and Saudi Arabia no longer support), and the al-Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham (which they still do) – are vir-tually identical in their ideology and their ulti-mate goals. However, they have some tactical differences, and Islam-ic State and al-Nusra fought a quite serious turf war last year, so maybe they will get distracted again. But

even if they do, Syria will be gone.

This is what the Russians see coming, and they may be will-ing to try to stop it. When asked on Friday if Moscow intended to get involved directly in the Syrian fight-ing, Russian President Vladimir Putin would only say that the ques-tion was “premature.” Nobody, including the Russians, likes Assad’s regime, but it is the least bad remaining op-tion.

Indeed, it is the only alternative left to a ji-hadi victory. Most of the “moderate” anti-regime rebels went home or fled abroad years ago, unable to

match the jihadis in firepower, in money or in frightfulness. The notion that the US can now create a moderate “third force” able to defeat both the jihadis and the Assad regime is a shameful face-saving fantasy

Moscow used di-plomacy to save the Obama administration from itself two years ago, when Washington was getting ready to bomb Assad’s forces in response to a (pos-sibly spurious) allega-tion that they had used poison gas on civilians. The only way Russia can avert disaster this time, however, is to put its own air force into the fight – and maybe its own ground troops too.

If it does, the key question will then be whether the United States lets Russia do the job that it is too fastidious to do itself, or whether it gives in to the clamour of its Turkish and Saudi al-lies – and they would be clamouring – to “stand up” to the Rus-sian intervention.

Since the United States doesn’t actually have a coherent strat-egy of its own, it’s im-possible to predict how it will respond.

For all Kerry’s blus-ter, they don’t know yet in Washington either.

It’s here! It’s here! The happiest time of the year! For those of you who don’t know me, or if you are wondering what this column is all about, let me explain! If you ever used to bowl in Salmon Arm prior to 2002, (back when it was the original ‘J’ Lanes), I was the girl hanging around seven days a week. My grandparents, Joe and June Buresh es-tablished ‘J’ Lanes long before I was ever thought of, and my parents, Gord and Linda, owned and operated the business while I was growing up. I was doomed from the time I could walk. Bowling was in my blood, and I didn’t have a choice in the matter! Luckily for me, I fell in love with the sport. Hence, now, why I’m writing this column! I’m very happy to say that life panned out pretty well for me, and that I’m proudly managing our new family business, the bowling cen-tre in Chase, Village Lanes! Mom and Dad are still in the picture, along with my main squeeze, Kelly; and we are fortunate enough to be back in the industry that we love so much. This column will be a spot to hear of bowlers’ weekly achievements, tournament results, and upcoming events. Fall Leagues have commenced at Village Lanes, and are near full! Having said that, we are hoping to get a few more people to join our bowling family for the 2015/2016 season. Bring your kids down for our Youth Leagues. Seniors, join up and make it an afternoon outing! And everyone else, join a league, have a cocktail or two, and let loose. That’s what we’re here for! I hope you enjoy catching up on what-ever the Pin Chatter happens to be through-out the season! Talk to you all next week! Cheers!

School has started, and with it the rote task of making lunches has begun.

Unsure what to make and short of time, many of us revert to the “assembly line” lunch: mini yogurt, juice box, granola bar, cheese string or pepperoni stick, fruit snack.

While individually these choices are okay, the lunch as a whole is high in simple carbo-hydrates (sugar) and low in protein, fat, fi-ber, and many minerals and vitamins.

Although conve-nient, the lunch does not provide good food value for your money and creates more gar-bage.

For example, my daughter loves the mini yogurts with prin-cesses on the package, but paying a dollar for a tablespoon of yogurt in a lot of packaging seems like a waste.

And while granola bars are always a fa-vourite, most of the

“nut-free” varieties are not much better than a chocolate bar.

For those of you prepared to designate an hour of prep at the beginning of the week, here are some ideas to upgrade your “assem-bly line” lunches:

Hard boiled eggs - Many kids love hard-boiled eggs; they are inexpensive, nutritious and can be kept for a week in your fridge. If peeled, they should be eaten within five days.

Cheese cubes – making your own cheese cubes is gener-ally cheaper than buy-ing cheese strings or slices.

Veggie sticks - tak-

ing a little time to chop and prepare veggies once a week is prob-ably the best way to increase your veggie intake. They should last three to five days in your fridge, if stored in an air-tight container and grabbing a handful for lunches becomes easy. You can add a squeeze of your favou-rite dip as well.

Yogurt – Flavoured yogurts contain a lot of sugar. One solution is to “dilute” your yo-gurt by mixing one carton of plain yogurt with one carton of your favourite flavoured yogurt. Spoon out in individual Tupperware containers and they are

ready to go.Trail mix – many

schools are nut free, but you can still make a mix of dried fruit and seeds such as pump-kin seeds or sunflower seeds. Dried cereal, pretzels or tiny crack-ers can also be added to make it more ap-pealing. Store in a large air-tight container. - Serena Caner is a registered dietician who works at Shuswap Lake General Hospi-tal.

immunization combats spread of whooping coughInterior Health is

seeing an increase in pertussis cases, also known as whoop-ing cough, and would like to remind parents about the importance of making sure their

children’s immuniza-tions are up to date.

Pertussis activity is being seen across the region with the major-ity of cases currently in the Central Okanagan.

Immunization is the

best way to prevent the spread of this disease. The pertussis vaccine is part of the routine childhood vaccinations that are given at two months, four months, six months, and 18

months old, and again at age four to six years (before kindergarten).

A pertussis vaccine is also given to teens at 14 to 16 years of age (Grade 9) in British Columbia. website: parklanddental.net • [email protected]

Hard work and determination will pay off for Shea Weber in February when he suits up in the red and whites of Team Canada.

The 24-year-old Sicamous product was tagged last month to represent the nation in the 2010 Olympic Games. It’s a goal Weber had been working towards, and an opportu-nity he’s proud to be part of.

“The Olympics are a very special event, not only for hockey but for winter sports and to be able to play for your country and compete for a medal is kind of neat,” says Weber.

The 6’4”, 234 lb. Nashville Predators defenceman will be sporting the maple leaf with other big names in hockey like Scott

Niedermayer (Anaheim Ducks), Roberto Luongo (Vancouver Canucks), Chris Pronger (Philadelphia Flyers) and Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Pen-guins).

Apart from a camp held last summer, We-ber guesses the team may have a couple of days to gel in February before hitting the ice in Whistler, and he’s interest-ed in seeing how everyone fi ts. But Weber’s mom and dad, Tracy and James, don’t ex-pect Shea will have any problems.

“Whatever they want him to do, he’ll do it,” said James. “He’s a team-fi rst guy, he’s not a selfi sh player at all.”

Both parents share what could be described as a subdued excite-ment for their son and the hon-our that’s been bestowed up on him.

“Shea phoned home and said ‘I’ve been chosen

to play in the Olympics, and I said ‘okay,’” Tracy commented, explaining it’s kind of a family trait not to overreact – one that Shea

shares. But she and James who, with Shea,share roots in Sicamous minor hockey, are defi nitely excited, and are hoping to attendat least one of their son’s games.

Sicamous Eagles manager Wayne Marchis also pretty excited by the news that Shea, an Eagle alumni, will be playing forhis community and country at the Games.March says Shea has been totally focusedthroughout his career on what he wanted todo: make it to the NHL. In the process, Sheahelped the Eagles win the KIJHL West-ern Canadians in 2001-02; he helped takethe Kelowna Rockets to three consecutiveWHL Memorial Cup championship games,including the win in 2004; and, after signingwith Nashville in 2004, he helped the Ca-

Our company has been providing quality timbers and beams to customers for over 30 years.In 1983, Alan and his wife, Kim returned to the family farm to raise their two children. At this time, Alan started to re-build the mill that he had once worked in as a child. It took a year to re-build the old mill. Alan started cutting ties for the Railroad which were in great demand at the time. He was also cutting cedar cants for a re-saw mill along with beams and timbers for many homes that where built in Sicamous and the area. Alan and Kim operated this mill for seven years. Over time, the orders kept increasing and the old mill could not keep up with the increase of large oversized timber and beams. In 1990, Kim’s father (Merv Siegrist) and mother Anne had moved to Sicamous to become a partner. Alan and Merv bought a new mill large enough to � ll the orders of the beams and timbers that the old saw mill could not handle. The next generation has now joined the business. Alan and his son Tyler work the mill together making a great father/son team.Our team at Hyde Sawmill takes great pride in their workmanship and in supplying a superior product to customers.

Auditions - Mt. Ida HarmonyJust over 75 years ago, about 20 men got to-gether in the rooftop gardens of a hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to “just sing for fun.” They enjoyed the experience so much that the Barbershop Harmony Society was formed, and it has now beome the world’s greatest hobby, as well as the world largest all male singing association, with members participating in Barbershop Har-mony on every continent the world over!

For over 75 years now, the Barbershop Har-mony Society has made tremendous strides in their music learning techniques, so the ability to readily read music is not really necessary. All that is needed is the desire to sing together with a fun bunch of guys! Mount Ida Harmony is hoping to increase their numbers by holding “Auditions For Admission.”

So men, if you are over 14 years, and if you like to “sing in the shower,” you’ll love singing together with Mount Ida Harmony on Thurs-day, September 17 at the Community Room at Askew’s Uptown Store! No obligations! No commitments! No strings attached!
