CAPRICORNCapricorn, write things down this week before you say them to be sure you have everything correct. This will help you when you need to make an important announcement.

AQUARIUSAquarius, you may feel like escaping to a fantasy world, but that does not mean the pressing matters will simply disappear. A vacation may recharge your batteries.

PISCESYou are in much better shape than you think you are, Pisces. So don’t be too hard on yourself this week. It is alright to put your feet up.

ARIESAries, some conflicting signals from a friend this week might seem like trouble is ahead. But it’s more likely that your perception of the situation is a little off.

TAURUSTaurus, your imagination has a life of its own this week. You may be thinking of living on the edge a little bit in the next few days but don’t overdo it.

GEMINIGemini, avoid a deep discussion about your feelings with someone at work this week. Now is not the time or the place to share anything personal, so keep it professional.

CANCERCancer, don’t get sidetracked this week because coworkers are expecting your full attention and effort at the office. You may need to juggle a few responsibilities for the time being.

LEOLeo, make sure you comments are not misinterpreted this week. Someone might take something the wrong way, so choose your words carefully.

VIRGOVirgo, you may be feeling great physically, but there is a nagging problem that you simply cannot identify. Give it time and it will come to the surface.

LIBRALibra, you know what you want and do not need anyone’s approval, but you can’t help checking in with a family member this week to get a second opinion.

SCORPIOScorpio, channel your romantic feelings into action this week. Act sooner rather than later and make the most of your emotions while they’re strong.

SAGITTARIUSSagittarius, learn from the past but do not allow letdowns from the past to dictate your future. There is no guarantee that things will be repeated.

A film by Twyla Roscovich and produced by Salmon Are Sacred, Salmon Confidential follows biologist Dr. Alexandra Morton as she unravels the myster-ies of BC’s declining salmon stocks using some of the world’s top fish labs. What she uncovers should shock anyone who cares about our fish and all that depend on them. This 70 minute film documents Morton’s journey as she attempts to overcome roadblocks thrown up by government agencies and bring critical infor-mation to the public in time to save BC’s wild salmon. Learn about our changing coastal ecolo-gy, grasssroots sci-ence-based activism, and the inner workings of government agencies tasked with overseeing our fish and the safety of our food supply. Salmon Confidential is a film for all Canadians.

It will be screened Sunday, April 28th, 7:00 p.m. at the Salmar Classic and is sponsored by SEAS and KAIROS-Salmon Arm. A mini-mum donation of $5 is required.

Dwindling salmon stocks

On Friday, March 8th, a round table discussion was held to bring together representatives of the various government agencies and community groups that are responsible for, or have an inter-est in, the long- term manage-ment of Gardom Lake. The Round Table was the first step towards the development of a comprehensive Lake

Management Plan. The three-hour meeting was hosted by the Friends of Gardom Lake and was managed by Laura Jameson, an independent facilitator. Participants included representa-tives of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, BC Ministry

of Environment, BC Minstry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Deep Creek Recreation Society, Ranchero/Deep Creek Community Association, Gardom Lake Bible Camp, Gardom Lake Veterans’ Camp, and the Salmon Arm Fish & Game Club. Friends of Gardom Lake believes there is a need to be proactive in terms of the

health of Gardom Lake because it is a small, shallow, spring-fed lake with a very slow water replacement rate, making it sen-sitive to disturbances of the fore-shore and water. Recently, there have been additional pressures on the Lake from the increasing

usage by boaters, anglers and swimmers with the resulting vehicle and boat traffic, as well as parking problems. Some of the issues and concerns dis-cussed were criteria for stocking fish in the lake, status of updated water quality data, status of the gas motor restriction, aeration of the lake, progress report on Musgrave Road boat launch, parking problems at the park around ice fishing, community communication, signage, Teal Road problems, old septic sys-tems around the lake, wildlife and waterfowl, garbage, fore-shore destruction, and user impacts.

Friends of Gardom Lake is a group of people who are proper-ty owners, residents and frequent visitors who believe that the lake and its surrounding foreshore and watershed form a unique environment for the lives and interactions of plants, trees, fish, wildlife and people.

For information or if interested in the health and future of Gardom Lake, contact Val Janzen at 250-832-6929; Liz Winter at 250-832-6362; or email [email protected].

COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

familychiropractic

Last week I wrote about the benefits of wearing proper footwear and custom designed orthotics. This week I thought I would explain a bit more about how the orthotics are actually manufactured and are custom designed to fit our patients specif-ic needs.

After researching and trying numerous compa-nies who produce orthotics for healthcare profes-sionals, I am most impressed with the product produced by a company out of Vancouver called Kintec Labs. Before deciding to use their lab to produce orthotics for my patients, I travelled to Vancouver to tour their facilities. What I saw real-ly impressed upon me the high-tech systems used to manufacture such top-quality orthotic insoles.

Fitting a person with orthotics is a complex, multi-step process that starts in our chiropractic office. We first complete a full bio-mechanical assessment of your feet, legs, and spine. Next, a semi-weightbearing mould is made of your feet by pressing them into a memory foam-like material. These foam impressions are then couriered to Vancouver where they are uploaded into a com-puter by a 3-D laser scanner. This 3-dimensional image of your feet is then passed to another com-puter that cuts the exact shape of each of your feet out of wood. Next, the technicians refer back to my order form completed during my assessment, and they mould the desired materials over these wooden replicas of your feet. Specific modifica-tions are then done to the orthotic to accommodate any unique foot issues noted on my assessment paperwork, and the orthotic is topped with what-ever material we specify for cushioning.

In about 10 days, a fully custom orthotic insole arrives back in our office accompanied by all required receipts and documentation. My staff is always sure to inform every person that the major-ity of extended health policies pay for all or most of the cost of the orthotic. And since most policies pay for a pair every one or two years, many patients will re-order a second pair at a later date so they do not have to change them out from shoe to shoe.

Custom orthoticsThere are many over-the-counter (OTC) medi-

cations that help with the symptoms of cold sores such as pain, itching and burning. Some of these OTC medications containing Docosanol com-pound are capable of having an inhibitory effect on the herpes virus. Therefore, it is thought they help to limit both the duration and severity of cold sores. Some of the other OTC medications having active ingredients like tetracaine, benzo-caine, lidocaine, benzyl alcohol, camphor, and phenol help by numbing and lessening the above symptoms of cold sores.

There are some herbs, though not yet proven, that have been found helpful, for example, pure aloe juice/gel. When used with the first sign of a cold sore, it helps to sooth the affected area and speed up healing. A few drops of grapefruit seed extract may be added to the aloe juice. This mix-ture can then be applied to the affected area. Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) reduces the symptoms of cold sores and speeds the healing process. Goldenseal root powder can also be made into a paste and applied. This helps in the healing and drying of the lesion. Garlic can be taken orally during an active flare-up for about a week, which helps to boost immunity. Placing a wet, black tea bag on the open sores for five to ten minutes several times a day can help as well. Also, applying cream or tablets containing L-lysine have helped some people in the preven-tion of cold sores, as well as in healing.

Nutritional supplements containing folic acid, vitamin C and bioflavinoids are also helpful. Foods containing amino acid L-arginine can pro-mote the growth of the virus. Foods containing L-arginine include whole wheat, chocolates, oats, corn, raisins, nuts and seeds.

Yogurt with active culture, or capsules of Lactobacillus acidophilus, balance the acidity of the body and thus speed up healing. Citrus fruits and juices should be avoided as an overly acidic environment tends to slow the healing process.

Cold sore herbal remedies

If you would like to investigate how a cus-tom foot orthotic can improve your quality of life, or if it is time to replace your old ones, con tac t the Chiropractors at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224 for an appointment.

By Jim Cooperman

C l i m a t e change is the number one issue facing humanity, as emissions of CO2 and other global w a r m i n g gases contin-ue to increase at an alarm-ing rate d e s p i t e

efforts to curb the use of fossil fuels. Already the impacts of climate change are being felt around the world with glaciers and sea ice melting, extreme droughts, intense storms and rising oceans. Of par-ticular concern to British Columbians is the rapid increase in shale gas development through a prac-tice known as fracking, with plans to build lique-fied natural gas plants in Kitimat and export the gas to Asia.

In order for Shuswap residents to learn more about climate change and fracking, two local orga-nizations, KAIROS-Salmon Arm and the Shuswap Environmental Action Society are sponsoring a public forum on Tuesday, April 9th at 7:00 p.m. at the United Church Hall, 450 Okanagan Ave. SE in Salmon Arm. Two expert speakers, Joe Foy (pic-tured, left) and Eoin Madden (right) from the Vancouver-based Wilderness Committee, will be giving presentations at this event.

Joe Foy is the Wilderness Committee’s National Campaign Director and has been the driving force behind many of the group’s successful projects since 1987. Eoin Madden began his career in Ireland as a criminal lawyer and after completing a post-graduate degree in climate change he moved to B.C. and is now the Wilderness Committee’s Climate Change Campaigner.

With deposits of conventional gas and oil dwin-dling, the industry is keen to develop less accessi-ble deposits of ‘tight oil and gas’ using hydraulic fracturing or ‘fracking.’ This involves blasting millions of gallons of fracturing fluids, including sand, water, and toxic chemicals, into wellbores two miles deep that then angle or deviate horizon-tally another kilometer underground. The rock is broken up through use of extreme pressures.

Proponents of fracking tell us this technology has been around for 60 years. “Not so,” says Anne

Fracking and climate change - a public forumMorris of KAIROS-Salmon Arm. “It is only in the last decade that a com-bination of four new technologies has enabled industry to access gas and oil trapped between layers of shale rock. The problem is that this fracking technology has grown so quickly there has been insufficient time to do the scientific study on its environ-mental and health impacts, or on the impact of the inevitable accidents,” she says.

“There is also con-cern that fracking causes chronic leaks of methane, a potent cli-mate change driver. Many scientists believe that rapid shale gas development will exac-erbate global climate change and could tip the world into climate chaos,” said Jim Cooperman, SEAS President.

“Over the past decade the practice of fracking has crept into BC and has gained a dangerous foothold - with-out the people of B.C. having ever been asked if they wanted this highly polluting industry or not. It is time to turn a bright light on what is happen-ing to fresh water resources and to the changing climate - while we still have the time and ability to act,” said Joe Foy, Wilderness Committee National Campaign Director.

Climate change is already happen-

ing, and at a much faster rate than was expected. But a worst-case sce-nario can still be avoided if govern-ment leaders listen to the World Bank, the UN Energy Agency, and a coalition of the world’s largest inves-tors who are calling for urgent action now to reduce greenhouse gas emis-sions. “At this crucial moment in time, we should be replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy resourc-

es rather than developing a new source of greenhouse gas emissions,” explained Cooperman. “Shale gas development is absolutely the wrong way to go,” he added.

“Groundwater contamination caused by shale gas fracking opera-tions is also a big concern. Nearly 1,000 cases of groundwater contami-nation have occurred in the U.S., and scores of contamination problems have been reported in Alberta as well. This has led a number of jurisdictions to ban or impose a moratorium on fracking,” explained Morris.

The forum will be a great opportunity for the public to learn more about the controversial prac-tice of fracking and the most recent information about climate change. Both of these topics are likely to be important issues for the upcoming elec-tion. All Shuswap MLA candidates will be invited to attend and be provided time to comment on these concerns.

COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

familychiropractic

Last week I wrote about the benefits of wearing proper footwear and custom designed orthotics. This week I thought I would explain a bit more about how the orthotics are actually manufactured and are custom designed to fit our patients specif-ic needs.

After researching and trying numerous compa-nies who produce orthotics for healthcare profes-sionals, I am most impressed with the product produced by a company out of Vancouver called Kintec Labs. Before deciding to use their lab to produce orthotics for my patients, I travelled to Vancouver to tour their facilities. What I saw real-ly impressed upon me the high-tech systems used to manufacture such top-quality orthotic insoles.

Fitting a person with orthotics is a complex, multi-step process that starts in our chiropractic office. We first complete a full bio-mechanical assessment of your feet, legs, and spine. Next, a semi-weightbearing mould is made of your feet by pressing them into a memory foam-like material. These foam impressions are then couriered to Vancouver where they are uploaded into a com-puter by a 3-D laser scanner. This 3-dimensional image of your feet is then passed to another com-puter that cuts the exact shape of each of your feet out of wood. Next, the technicians refer back to my order form completed during my assessment, and they mould the desired materials over these wooden replicas of your feet. Specific modifica-tions are then done to the orthotic to accommodate any unique foot issues noted on my assessment paperwork, and the orthotic is topped with what-ever material we specify for cushioning.

In about 10 days, a fully custom orthotic insole arrives back in our office accompanied by all required receipts and documentation. My staff is always sure to inform every person that the major-ity of extended health policies pay for all or most of the cost of the orthotic. And since most policies pay for a pair every one or two years, many patients will re-order a second pair at a later date so they do not have to change them out from shoe to shoe.

Custom orthoticsThere are many over-the-counter (OTC) medi-

cations that help with the symptoms of cold sores such as pain, itching and burning. Some of these OTC medications containing Docosanol com-pound are capable of having an inhibitory effect on the herpes virus. Therefore, it is thought they help to limit both the duration and severity of cold sores. Some of the other OTC medications having active ingredients like tetracaine, benzo-caine, lidocaine, benzyl alcohol, camphor, and phenol help by numbing and lessening the above symptoms of cold sores.

There are some herbs, though not yet proven, that have been found helpful, for example, pure aloe juice/gel. When used with the first sign of a cold sore, it helps to sooth the affected area and speed up healing. A few drops of grapefruit seed extract may be added to the aloe juice. This mix-ture can then be applied to the affected area. Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) reduces the symptoms of cold sores and speeds the healing process. Goldenseal root powder can also be made into a paste and applied. This helps in the healing and drying of the lesion. Garlic can be taken orally during an active flare-up for about a week, which helps to boost immunity. Placing a wet, black tea bag on the open sores for five to ten minutes several times a day can help as well. Also, applying cream or tablets containing L-lysine have helped some people in the preven-tion of cold sores, as well as in healing.

Nutritional supplements containing folic acid, vitamin C and bioflavinoids are also helpful. Foods containing amino acid L-arginine can pro-mote the growth of the virus. Foods containing L-arginine include whole wheat, chocolates, oats, corn, raisins, nuts and seeds.

Yogurt with active culture, or capsules of Lactobacillus acidophilus, balance the acidity of the body and thus speed up healing. Citrus fruits and juices should be avoided as an overly acidic environment tends to slow the healing process.

Cold sore herbal remedies

If you would like to investigate how a cus-tom foot orthotic can improve your quality of life, or if it is time to replace your old ones, con tac t the Chiropractors at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224 for an appointment.

Tax News from Susan Grimes at H&R Block

If you turned 71 during the year and you have RRSPs, you have to remember that they need to be transferred to a RRIF before the end of the year. You can of course withdraw them but usually this is not a wise option as the whole amount will be taxable on your tax return at once. If it is only a small amount then perhaps this is a good solution for you. To find out the tax consequences of withdrawing a partial or full amount come in and see us before you do anything so that we can advise you. Your investment advisor should alert you to the fact that something has to be done by age 71 and probably has some good options for you. Taxwise, make sure you see us to avoid problems later on. We are open and our tax specialists are ready to meet all of your taxation and bookkeeping needs.

FACEBOOK GETS PRIVATE INFO WHEN YOU “LIKE”Last week I said Facebook gets information about you

when you press a “like” button. A researcher at Cambridge University was one of the team that obtained the likes of more than 58,000 U.S. Facebook users who volunteered access to their data, as did the researchers.

This is what Facebook can learn about you: your sexual orientation, gender, age, ethnicity, IQ, religion, politics, how you vote, whether you drink, smoke, or do drugs. They could identify if a person was black or white, and sometimes if the person was poor, and if the person was a child of divorce.

Facebook’s Frederic Wolens said in a written statement that Facebook users could change the privacy settings on their likes to put them beyond the reach of researchers, advertisers or nearly anyone else.

TEXT MESSAGES ARE PRIVATE, LIKE PHONE CALLSPolice must get a court order before they can wiretap

telephone conversations. Now they must do the same if they want a carrier to hand over texting conversations. It is a ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada.

FINAL DAY TOMORROW AT CANADIAN TIREThe corporate-owned Canadian Tire store in Salmon

Arm will close at the end of tomorrow, Saturday, April 6. The remaining stock will be moved to the new franchise store in Piccadilly, and it will open at 8 a.m. on Thursday, April 11.

The flyer for the new store will have the same prices as elsewhere in the interior.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR, I ASKEDWhen I was going up and down the aisles of the new

Askew’s Uptown grocery store on Saturday evening of the Easter weekend, I saw a woman doing the same. I stopped her and said I was looking for salad dressing; what she was looking for? “My husband,” was her reply.

CLASSMATES ENJOYED VISITING AT EASTERThe Barley Station Brew Pub was the meeting place of

former classmates during the Easter weekend. They ate and drank for hours in the evenings. My two sons were part of one group.

Years ago the discussion was about dating, marrying and having babies. Now they talked about divorces, custody, and aging parents.

PIGS FED MASH, PRODUCE DELICIOUS MEATIn my resolve to eat as much organic food as I can, I buy

frozen pork from Harmonious Homestead and Ewe in the valley at 5421 70 St. SW. Rob & Clare Fensom produce many organic products, but their pork does not qualify because their pigs are fed the spent grain which is a

by-product from the production of beer at Barley Station Brew Pub. In the Barley Station’s seven years of brewing they have never thrown any of this spent grain out. What doesn’t go to the Fensoms and other farmers is turned into the Barley Station’s famous beer bread.

To learn when their store is open, or when they have an open house at their farm, go to www.harmonioushome-stead.ca or phone 250-832-0503.

MORE INFO ON B.C.’S NEW FAMILY LAW ACTB.C.’s Family Law Act, which came into effect March 18,

changed many things for couples who have been living common-law for two years or more.

Under the new act, common-law couples keep the proper-ty they bring into the relationship. Only property and debt that a couple accrues during the relationship is divided.

Common-law couples can opt out of the property division rules if they make their own agreement. What they have to do is write it out and both partners have to sign it in front of an independent person. For the agreement to be valid, both partners have to provide full disclosure of their assets and liabilities.

UNIQUE FUNDRAISER BY HOSPITAL AUXILIARYA women’s health walk/run is being held at the Salmon

Arm fairgrounds on Mother’s Day. Called Footsteps for our Future, all proceeds will go to the Shuswap Lake Health-Care Auxiliary. The fundraiser will be held on Sunday, May 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Register at the Shuswap Hospital Foundation Piccadilly Mall kiosk or phone Gloria at 250-832-0481.

LOCAL FOOD, FARMERS AND FUNOver 20 local farmers and businesses will have interactive

stations near Armstrong on April 21. Called Shoots ‘N Blooms, it is being sponsored by the Food Action Society of the North Okanagan and Fieldstone Organics, and held from 1 to 4 p.m. at Fieldstone’s, 4851 Schubert Rd., Armstrong. Free admission.

PEOPLE WHO HELD BACK SMARTCENTRESHAVE SET SALMON ARM BACK MANY YEARS

Moneywise magazine published its 8th annual list of best places to live in Canada on www.moneysense.ca. Researchers looked at population growth, jobless rate, average household income, average house prices, number of doctors for the population, etc.

The city that is the absolute best place to live in Canada is Calgary. Kamloops is 64th, Kelowna is 76th and Salmon Arm is way down at 122nd.

In 2008, many vocal people were strongly opposed to Walmart and SmartCentres coming to Salmon Arm next to the Salmon River. New companies and businesses stopped planning to expand to Salmon Arm. The recession set it,

and even now, many young people are going to Alberta to work. That’s why the city is rated as the 122nd best place to live in Canada. It will take many years to bring the city closer to the top.

NEW TRAFFIC LIGHT, CANCEL OLD ONEThe Trans-Canada Highway through Salmon Arm has

many traffic lights, and it will probably get another at the access to the SmartCentres shopping area west of the city.

If you were to recommend the removal of a light, would it be at the intersection with Shuswap St., Alexander St. or Ross St.?

When Enderby experienced widening of the highway through the city, the one traffic signal on Cliff St., the main intersection, was removed and two were added, one a block north and another a few blocks south. It took months to get used to the change, but now I see it as being very efficient.

TRAFFIC GOES SLOWER THROUGH SORRENTOThere was always a problem getting through traffic on

the Trans-Canada Highway through Sorrento to slow down. I think the problem has been alleviated.

A sign on each approach to Sorrento says “Prepare to stop.” But it’s not a temporary sign. It’s painted on wood and screwed to two posts that were pounded into the side of the highway. I slowed down and looked for construc-tion, but there was none. It’s a hoax!

I DECLINED THE GIFT OF AN iPHONEMy sons brought me an iPhone on the Easter weekend,

the same kind of phone they each use. They transferred my number and information from my Nokia cell phone, and asked me to use the new phone for one day. Reluctantly I agreed.

I struggled with it. I talked to a granddaughter in Victoria and we saw one another on our phones. But I didn’t have my hair combed so I didn’t think I would ever use that feature. I had trouble sending a text message to one of the boys. I wouldn’t take pictures with the iPhone because I want all my pictures on the laptop for easy retrieval. When I had the phone on mute, I missed a few calls because I didn’t feel it vibrate. It was too big to put in my pants pocket.

Before they left for home in Victoria, they transferred my data back to the small Nokia. I am so happy to have it in my pocket at all times! No more missed calls. I love you boys, especially for respecting the wish of your 75-year-old mother.

On Saturday, April 20th, the Canadian Rabbit Hopping Club will compete against the Vancouver Agility Club in the 1st ever inter-club competition. Whether you have seen the ‘Super Dogs’ at the PNE or not, you will not want to miss these rabbits racing through hoops, tunnels and over jumps. The whole family will enjoy this new attraction at this year’s

‘Knee Deep in Spring’ event at Harmonious Homestead and Ewe.

Back by popular demand, farm tours will be given throughout the day, led by the farmer. This interactive tour will teach you about rabbits, chicks, lambs, and baby goats.

The ‘Knee Deep in Spring’ event takes place all day, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Cost is

$7.50/person (cash only) at the farm gate and includes all events and displays. ‘The Flocks Trough’ restaurant will be open in Mount Ida Hall serving sau-sage on a bun and soup.

This all takes place at 5421 70th St. SW, Salmon Arm. For more information visit www.harmonioushomestead.ca, email [email protected] or phone 250-832-0503.

The first day back to school after a couple weeks break is always a tough transition when you are six. So it wasn’t much of a surprise when our youngest Nate came into our room early Tuesday morning whim-pering.

“Mom, not only did I not get any money, but I have a bad cough too!” he whined, and then pro-ceeded to show us how terrible his cough sound-ed.

He had lost a tooth the day before and had put it under his pillow expect-ing a monetary reward when he woke up. Though we’ve never promoted the “tooth fairy” at our house per se; we’ve still had the tradition of giving the boys money when they lose their teeth. The fact they know it is us makes it all the more alarming when they wake up and find no money under their pillow. So at this point Nate was not only suffering from what was clearly the worst cough in history, but he was also thinking his parents were cheapskates.

His mother reassured

him that the loonie was there, but due to his incessant squirming through the night it must have fallen between the mattress and the wall. So all was good and the terrible cough seemed to miraculously improve when he found his lost loonie.

The whole episode reminded me of when I was a kid and my little sister lost a tooth. Being the ‘baby’ of the family, she was spoiled; at least in the eyes of my older sister and me. My par-ents would deny their favouritism, so we would always look for proof and eventually we got it.

One morning my little sister came running into the kitchen waving a $20 bill and exclaiming, “Look at what I got for my tooth!”

“Twenty bucks!? Are you kidding me? How come she got that much!? All we ever got was a quarter!” my older sister and I objected. Initially, my father tried to pass it off as inflation. However, we were old enough to do the math and realize we weren’t

exactly living in post-war Germany even if it felt like it at times.

Eventually, my Dad confessed to the fact nei-ther him nor my Mom had any change or bills smaller than a twenty. We thought the inflation story was more believ-able at that point.

So being the bright entrepreneurial types, my older sister and I looked at each other, did the math and decided to help each other pull our teeth out. It lasted for a minute or so until we gave up. We might have not made any money that day, but we were satisfied knowing we finally had proof… the little sister was indeed spoiled! That was reward enough.

Friday, April 5, 2013 Lakeshore News A9www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

The TV series “Moonshiners” had gotten Red and Curly Swenson excited. They had gone to Freddy Crabtree’s shack on Zipper Lip Lake a few times, and tried his white lightnin.’ They saw his set-up, and decided it was OK to start a still. Things went fine until the thing blew up, set-ting the bush on fire! The cops arrived, along with a fire truck. The boys had to settle for Fred’s screech!

Next day, they sat in a boat on Flapjack Lake, waiting

for trout to bite.

Red would soak his lure in a fish oil concoction; then take a sip of lightnin,’ while Curly worked on a six-pack of beer. No results. They began to troll; Red with a Ford Fender and Curly with a gang troll/worm. Red caught trout consistently, while Curly was skunked. Even after switching rods, Red out-fished him! So the fight was on. Ol’ G. G. Lawson, a conservation officer, was doing a compliance check of the lake that day, and got the boys for open liquor, tre-ble hooks, and expired fishin’ licenses. Have you ever been in a situation when your buddy/wife/girlfriend/ catches trout, and you try everything, to no avail?

Now that the local lakes are becoming ice free, (White is fish-ing, Gardom soon), more anglers will be out on the water. (Good numbers of boats were out on Shuswap Lake Easter weekend, with some trout being caught). The question is, are some anglers luckier, or better, at catching fish? There are a number of fac-tors that contribute to the answer. Years of angling. Knowing habits of trout, combined with their feeding times. What trout feed on. Are one or more strains easier to catch? And what about mortal-ity? Studies by the Fresh Water

fisheries society on the three types of trout on a small lakes stocked study, show that Pennask rainbow trout are more vulnera-ble to fly fishing gear than other types. Blackwater (Gardom, Phillips, Forrest) are more aggressive, and are caught at a higher rate. Their release mortal-ity is about 11%, depending on water temperature. Go to www.gofishbc.com/news-and-events/industry-updates/fishmortali-ty-rates.aspx.

Next scenario: you’re trolling flies past a chap that is anchored off in a boat, with two fly lines laid out on the water, with strike indicators.

He’s into his 23rd trout of the morning, as your frustration builds. He’s an angler who knows, along with many others, that 90% of a trout’s diet, is con-sumed near the bottom. He also knows about the bug life, and the entomology of hatching aquatic invertebrates. A quiet approach, with electric motors, works best and is called “nymphing.” Chironomids are small flies in bottom sand that rise from their pupae stage to the surface. Trout feed veraciously on them. The basic principle on chironomid fishing is to check the lake sur-face for dried tiny wings. Drop your anchor there, watching the bottom depth with your fish find-er. Come up a foot off the bottom, setting your strike indicators at surface level. A dry line works (even sink tip). You can buy nymphing leader, and they are shorter at the butt section. Tapered fluoro-carbon is the best. A tiny split-shot or swivel is attached about 2-3 feet up from the end of leader. A strike indica-tor is a tiny float, attached to the fly line; they come in foam plas-tic or cork. Choice of chirono-mids can vary, with cold water. Some anglers start with tiny chrome/silver, with black rib. There are dozens of patterns/colours, including beadhead ver-sions.

As with all else, patience is virtue with this fishery. With your

f i r s t t r o u t caught, examine its tummy contents, or use a stomach pump, to see what it’s taking at that feeding time. Polarized glasses help in locating cruising/feeding trout along shoreline shoals, as well. Nymphing is a great way to fish, and there are many books and DVD’s available to help you get started.

Best advice of all? Go to your sport/outdoor shop, and the staff will gladly get you started. Locally, Todd or Bill at Westside Stores will help you out, with advice and proper gear to go “nymphing” on our wonderful local trout-filled lakes. I presume Curly and Red have a lot to learn!

Here and thereFishing report: Gardom will

soon be free of ice. Large rain-bows now frequent the lake from previous stocking. This spring stocking will be with 10,000 Pennask/Blackwater catch-ables/3000 fingerlings. Many anglers use PowerBait off the dock at the great little park there. Trolling: black beadhead leech/small flatfish/willowleaf/worm. White Lake: wet flies, pumpkin head leech/green/brownCarey/tiny flatfish/willowleaf/worm. Limit 2 daily possession. Shuswap Lake (Murdock Point/tunnels/log boom areas): buck-tails on top/1 ounce weight-small chrome/trout killer/army truck/watermelon apex. Large apexes at 28 feet. Forrest (Squam Bay) Mil ler /Monte/Pi l lar /Joyce/Falkland), still with some ice.

In Shuswap/Mara Lakes, salm-on fry are now coming out of spawning gravel. They have a tiny yoke sac, which provides nutrients. It will zip up soon, and they will be free swimmers. In about two weeks, they will start their journey, en masse, down the Adams/Mid/Lower Shuswap/Eagle into the big lake to begin their lives in bays/shoals estuar-ies. Two-year-old chinook/sock-eye/coho will begin their journey to the ocean via the South

Thompson/Fraser River, then out into the sea. Angling will be very good on our large lakes and river systems, with small imitation buck-tails/Apex lures. Be sure to get your new angling licence before heading out. Black bear season is now open, till June 15th.

Be a good sportsman. Be patient and courte-ous to others. Get out-side and enjoy!

What I value...ECONOMIC SECURITY Development of skills-training programsand manufacturing/industry based job creation.

The current situation...· A shortage of year-round, full-time employment in the Shuswap, resulting in seasonal lay-offs.

· Family separation due to employment being sought away from home causes hardships for many local families.

· Loss of our skilled workforce to outside provinces further depleting the opportunity for employment in the Shuswap.

SLIPP meeting

By Faith JuellWith the springing of Spring, the Salmon

Arm Horseshoe Club is preparing to start a busy season. The executive met on March 21st, to discuss new insurance coverage, utili-ties, and upcoming practices and tournaments.

Our opening practice and cleanup time was set for 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 16th, with regu-lar afternoon practices and cleanups each

Tuesday and Thursday until later in May.The first tournament in the valley will be

held May 4 in Penticton, with Salmon Arm’s first tournament on Saturday, May 11. Tournament schedules were printed for mem-bers of the executive. This year we are fortu-nate to have the Seniors’ Games in Kamloops August 22–24. We are hoping for a good turnout of red and white, for the host zone

Grande Parade Inn. We are also fortunate to have the Provincial Championships hosted in Penticton starting August 21st.

For further information about this easy-to-play and reasonably-priced sport, call Doug at 832-8520 or Faith at 832-9873.

The Salmon Arm Horseshoe Club is locat-ed next to the curling rink and lawn bowling area, behind Shaw Centre.

Horseshoe Club plans for the season aheadThe notorious lineup for early French immersion

was virtually non-existent this year. In contrast to last year, where there were numerous families camp-ing out for several nights, some with trailers; this year, only four individuals were let in the previous evening. The remainder of the registrants arrived early Wednesday morning, to sign up by 8 a.m.

At press time there were 39 children registered for kindergarten, leaving five places free. Anyone inter-

Still space left

ested in registering their child in French immersion kindergarten can phone Bastion Elementary at 250-832-3741. Don’t worry if you are too late to grab one of the remaining few spaces – a waiting list is maintained, because family moves and other factors may allow a space or two to open up by the beginning of the school year.

Registration is now open for the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP) All-Committee meet-ing that will be held Wednesday, April 24th at Quaaout Lodge from 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together the SLIPP public advi-sory committees and technical teams, the steering committee and the public to hear about 2012/13 program accom-plishments, and what is proposed for this third year of the pilot project.

Anyone not on a committee may attend the morning plenary session to hear an overview of SLIPP accomplish-ments in 2012/13, work planned for this year, and ideas for SLIPP beyond this year. You are also welcome to stay for lunch.

In the afternoon, the committee mem-bers will be having closed working meetings to discuss the 2012/13 results and work plans for 2013/14 in greater detail.

Registration is required–please do so by visiting https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JWZZ7TR. Please note that reg-istration ensures accurate planning for lunch and coffee. Registration closes at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 9th.

Spring is here. I have actually been saying this for over a month. Despite the snow; despite my friends tell-ing me that I was overly optimistic. It doesn’t matter. I know spring has been here for quite some time. It isn’t the date that tells me, nor the weather. It is simply the feeling. All you have to do is go outside and listen, and when I do, I can hear spring unfold-ing around me.

Early in the morning, before it is fully light, I can hear a saw-whet owl sounding its repetitive song in the trees at the far end of my property. I can also hear, and have done for some weeks, a pair of great horned owls calling back and forth to each other in the Larch Hills woods. Being such early nest-ers, their mating calls start before I even think of spring.

As the light increases, the thrilling bell-like call of the varied thrush rings out–one of my very favourite sounds of spring. Until I hear another of my favourite sounds, the piping call of the kildeer in my neighbour’s field where they lay their eggs. They used to nest in my horse pasture; but perhaps rec-ognized the potential danger of the eggs being trampled, and decided to move over across the fence.

Then another of my favourite songs is that of the song sparrow. The tenative twittering becomes a full-blown joyous song that literally stops me in my tracks. The return of the red-

Use your earswing blackbird singing in the cattails is another sure sign of spring. Although a few of these blackbirds still return to the cattails in my boggy area, twenty-five years ago flocks of well over a hundred birds would stop in my cottontail trees in the evening, on their way to their roost, and would literally bel-low out their song, with a most melodious under-song threading its way through the main melo-dy.

More of my favourite

spring sounds include the excited chattering and whistling of the chickadees; the small, almost duck-like call of the nuthatches; the screaming of circling red-tailed hawks; the honking of passing Canada geese; the call-ing and drumming of many kinds of wood-peckers; the chattering of squirrels; warbling of coyotes; and the busy working of bees. Then there are the siskins, juncos, California quail, magpies, crows, robins,

white-crowned spar-rows, and on and on. I am now waiting for the chacking call of the snipe that sits on top of the fenceposts across the field. I wait to hear him drumming as he per-forms his aerial display.

You may have noticed that all of these sounds are my favourites! It depends on which one I am listening to at the time; each one bringing as much pleasure as the

other.So when you go out-

side, often your ears first make you aware of the presence of birds, ani-mals and insects. Then you can look around for a sighting. So open your ears as well as your eyes. It is amazing what a busy natural world is out there.

AGM MEETING

A very special first Easter

By Howard VangoolThree-year-old Alexandria

(Sasha) Slewchuk and her mother Veronica celebrated their very first Easter this year by attending the Easter egg hunt at Sorrento on Easter Sunday. Veronica’s eyes shine with pride as she helps her young daughter seek out the shin-ing eggs hidden in the park. Each and every egg that Sasha finds is considered a huge victory; as the little girl with the big smile holds her woven basket with the colour-ful grass inside, under which she tucks each little foil-wrapped egg like the treasure it is to her.

The reason for the victory is that young Sasha was diagnosed at age 12 months with retinoblastoma, a

rare form of eye cancer. Sasha is very lucky to be able to see the eggs, as she is now blind in one eye and has limited vision in the other. Yet, as her mother explains, it is much better than being c o m p l e t e l y

blind–at least the doctors didn’t take her eyes out like they would have done for the same diagnosis not too many years past.

Veronica herself speaks with a lovely Russian accent and explains that, for herself, this is the first time she has hunted Easter eggs as well, because she is only recently from Russia. Sasha was born in Canada and Veronica is very grate-ful, speaking passionately about the great cancer facilities in Ontario that saved her child’s life. Sasha plays nearby, putting little rocks on the slide in the park and watching them bump down and land on the ground. She then takes a whole handful of sand and puts it

on the slide, laughing as as she watches gravity do its thing. Meanwhile, Veronica tells me she wants everyone to know that no matter what the diagnosis and no matter how bad it seems, to keep going, keep believing, and never give up. I can’t help but think of a well-known fish in a children’s movie who says “Just keep swim-ming” as I watch Sasha climb up the slide halfway, until it is too steep to go further so she turns around and slides down and then goes up the ladder.

I turn back to Veronica, who continues to explain that retino-blastoma is quite rare; only 1 in 15,000 people develop it, and there are only three centres world-wide that are very good at treating it–one of which is in Ontario. Retinoblastoma is generally first detected by an optometrist, one reason that children should be given an eye exam early on in life. She explains how the cancer clinic saved her child and that they would soon go to get the tests to prove that her child is cancer-free, but she already knows in her heart that the test results will be in her daughter’s favour. She says that when that happens, they will start looking into options for eye sur-

gery to help the young girl see even better. I can’t help but think of my own recent laser eye surgery to correct my vision, and how it has changed my life in the short time since I had it. I hope that with all the improvements in eye surgery techniques in recent years, they will be able to further improve Sasha’s vision as well.

Sasha’s mom tells me that either way, at least her child is alive–it could have been much worse, and she is so grateful to everyone who helped them both. I walk over to

Sasha and talk to her, thanking her for being such a wonderful little girl. She looks at me with a triumphant smile and says in a clear voice,

“You’re welcome!” Then mother and daughter make their way hand-in-hand through the park and join the crowd on this sunny Easter Sunday.

Leonard Polley1944 - 2013

Born in Vancouver, Len joined the army in 1961 and was sworn in by Smokey Smith VC. Posted to the 2nd Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, he was eventually transferred to Germany and became the Central Registry Clerk. It was in Cologne he met Joyce, his wife of 46 years and the love of his life.

While in Germany, he was able to get special leave and travelled to England for the funeral of Winston Churchill. Upon his return to Canada, he attended BCIT and graduated a Civil and Structural Technologist in 1970, working out of Kamloops and Westwold as inspector on transmission lines and power dams in Hudson’s Hope and Revelstoke.

In 1992, he held a position with the Federal Government as a Contract Parole Offi cer. For over 15 years he also served as an RCMP Auxiliary in both Falkland and Revelstoke.

Upon retirement in 1999, he and Joyce found their dream property in the Salmon Arm area where he spent the happiest days of his life with his dogs, his books and his newspapers.

His last 5 years, he proudly served as a Volunteer Firefi ghter with the Silver Creek Fire Dept., the last 3 years as Safety Offi cer with the rank of Lieutenant.

The family will miss their go-to guy but he felt blessed to be able to spend special time with son Josh and daughter Irene and to visit with all his grandchildren. He taught us all how to die with courage, grace and dignity.

At a later date the family and friends will gather in Westwold to bury Len’s ashes beside his youngest son, Nick.

Online condolences can be sent through Len’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

Frederick “Brian” Pratt

May 7, 1924 - March 26, 2013Born in Birtle, Manitoba and passed in Salmon Arm, BC. He was predeceased by his parents John and Kathleen, brothers Dennis and David, and sister Eileen; survived by his brother Ed, his children Ruth (Carl), John (Helga), Harry (Josie), Marie (Ray) and grandchildren Steve, Scott, Kathryn, Megan, Harrison, Keani, Subrina and Arthur.

He served in WWII as a member of the RCAF in the 405 and 419 squadrons and flew on 21 Pathfinder missions over Germany. On May 7th, 1945 as a part of Operation Manna, he flew over Holland dropping food to the Dutch. It was the end of the war and his 21st birthday. He said, “It was the best birthday party ever”. He also served 27 years as a member of the RCMP in Ontario and British Columbia. As an active member of the RCMP Veterans he was granted a lifetime membership which was an honor he was very proud to receive.

Brian had many interests throughout his life but he will probably be best remembered for his musical talents and wonderful booming voice. He was a gentle soul who had a strong passion for life, family, love and spirituality.

He was beloved by his family and was blessed to have so many friends whose lives he truly touched.

A celebration of his life is planned for 1:00 p.m., Saturday, May 11th, 2013 at the Carlin Hall, 4051 Trans-Canada Hwy, Tappen, BC. It will be a potluck event with music and tributes in his memory.

Born in Scotland on May 29, 1920, Rose moved from Kokish, BC to Sorrento with her late husband, Norman George White, in January of 1981. They quickly became active in the community. Norman passed away on July 4, 1986. Later Rose moved into Chase to enjoy many more years of friendships.

She is survived by her sons, Bill (Linda) of Buchanan, Saskatchewan, and Duncan (Lynda) of Campbell River; 3 granddaughters, Michelle, Cindy and Joanne; 3 great grandsons; two sisters, Bunty and Alice of White Rock; as well as her two special and dedicated caregivers, Francis Young and Jacquie Everett.

Rose will be interred in St. Mary’s Cemetery next to her husband. The family will have a Celebration of life service at a later date to honour her life in the Shuswap.

On line condolences may be sent to Rose’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

CAPRICORNCapricorn, write things down this week before you say them to be sure you have everything correct. This will help you when you need to make an important announcement.

AQUARIUSAquarius, you may feel like escaping to a fantasy world, but that does not mean the pressing matters will simply disappear. A vacation may recharge your batteries.

PISCESYou are in much better shape than you think you are, Pisces. So don’t be too hard on yourself this week. It is alright to put your feet up.

ARIESAries, some conflicting signals from a friend this week might seem like trouble is ahead. But it’s more likely that your perception of the situation is a little off.

TAURUSTaurus, your imagination has a life of its own this week. You may be thinking of living on the edge a little bit in the next few days but don’t overdo it.

GEMINIGemini, avoid a deep discussion about your feelings with someone at work this week. Now is not the time or the place to share anything personal, so keep it professional.

CANCERCancer, don’t get sidetracked this week because coworkers are expecting your full attention and effort at the office. You may need to juggle a few responsibilities for the time being.

LEOLeo, make sure you comments are not misinterpreted this week. Someone might take something the wrong way, so choose your words carefully.

VIRGOVirgo, you may be feeling great physically, but there is a nagging problem that you simply cannot identify. Give it time and it will come to the surface.

LIBRALibra, you know what you want and do not need anyone’s approval, but you can’t help checking in with a family member this week to get a second opinion.

SCORPIOScorpio, channel your romantic feelings into action this week. Act sooner rather than later and make the most of your emotions while they’re strong.

SAGITTARIUSSagittarius, learn from the past but do not allow letdowns from the past to dictate your future. There is no guarantee that things will be repeated.
