A4 Friday, February 19, 2016 - Lakeshore News www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Over my nearly 20 years of prac-tice I have seen countless patients who have experienced improve-ments in organ and immune func-tion following spinal adjustments. In fact, Chiropractics founding fathers in the late 1800s wrote extensively about how spinal sub-luxations interfere with the ability of the body to properly regulate organ and immune function. What is exciting is current science is now catching up to what early Chiropractors and Osteopaths knew a hundred years ago.

In 2015 a group of Physiotherapists from New Zealand reviewed 68 research articles and published their results in the jour-nal Medical Hypotheses titled Measurable Changes in the Neuro-endocrinal Mechanism Following Spinal Manipulation. What they found was that the effects of spinal manipulations are beyond biome-chanical changes only. They dis-covered that spinal adjustments affect how the autonomic nervous system (ANS) functions and they help to restore proper hormone bal-ance and function.

Improper functioning of the auto-nomic nervous system has been shown to cause a number of health issues. Over-activation of the ANS (Autonomic Nervous System) results in chronic pain and inflam-mation disorders such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, auto-immune diseases, cardiovas-cular problems and Asthma to name a few.

The researchers suggest spinal manipulation is an effective tool to help restore ANS balance and help the aforementioned problems. Other effects of excessive sympa-thetic nervous system activity is it leads to organ dysfunction and immune system problems.

Chiropractic philosophy includes the understanding that spinal adjustments influence far more than musculoskeletal function. This research completed by physio-therapists details the relationship between spinal adjusting, the nerves that sense spinal motion, the autonomic nervous system, and the endocrine (hormone) system and their connection to organ and immune function.

In a nutshell, a wellness chiro-practor should be a part of your health team! Patients who are under regular care not only benefit from a reduction of symptoms (headache, back pain, etc) but they also benefit from increased perfor-mance in sports (there is a reason why Olympic athletes travel with a chiropractor as part of their team). Better overall health from a proper-ly functioning nervous system is the greatest side-effect from a well adjusted spine. When was the last time you were checked for sublux-ation and adjusted by a chiroprac-tor?

FROM EDEN CLINICAL COUNSELLING

In the ArenaTeddy Roosevelts words about the man in the

arena have framed Dr. Brene Browns work in defining what it is to be vulnerable. She describes vulnerability as a deep and courageous willing-ness to put yourself into the arena and to show up and be seen by others regardless of outcome. It is knowing that you are enough and worthy of love and belonging just as you are. You may lose and fall in the arena, or triumphantly over-come. In order to be vulnerable we have to be emotionally exposed. What Dr. Browns research around worthiness, courage, shame, and vulner-ability has shown is that when we erase vulnera-bility from our lives we become numb to posi-tive emotional states as well. Joy fades, while fear and anxiety grow.

Vulnerability is not an esteemed action within our culture. We hold a belief that it is a weakness to be vulnerable. Men are supposed to hold it all together, and women are supposed to have it all. We try to fight being vulnerable by managing our lives with certainty and blurring our bound-aries. It is difficult to be vulnerable when we are always worried what others will think, or when we believe we are not enough.

What is a lack of showing vulnerability cost-ing you? Does it mean you are not following your dreams, and working in a job you hate? Does it mean a building of resentment with your partner because you are afraid to say how you feel? Does it mean you are always saying yes, when you know you want to say no sometimes? Examining our boundaries and where resent-ment is building in our lives can be a great start to see where we need to practice vulnerability. It will bring a greater sense of worthiness and joy.

A huge bouquet of stars to Dr. Lorenz and paramedic Darren for the great care they gave Ed when he fell at the rink on Feb. 6 (sorry you missed the last few minutes of your sons game). Also thanks to Wayne and Andrew, the ambu-lance crew from Vernon who turned back from going home to attend our call on a busy Saturday morn-ing. Ed & Sherry

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Its amazing the amount of talent in Salmon Arm, with these words patrons thanked James Bowlby for his latest show. This talented theatre compa-ny is running the last nights of its new show FUNKIN DEAD at the Prestige Harbourfront on Thursday. One of the talented members play-ing the star perform-er at the Kitty Club is Elaine Holmes.

Elaine has found the-atre relatively recently. She has been able to meld her love of dance and singing in the role of Rosa Perelli, a strong woman who is trying to make her rela-tionship with the man-ager of the club and hit man, played by Mike Nash, work.

Holmes says she

empathizes with Rosa who has spunk, is a fiery, no nonsense per-son. Rosa doesnt have a lot of choices. If she leaves the club she may find another job and by leaving will leave the man she is trying to love. The comedy in the play comes from the ups and downs of their relationship. Highlights of the show are the 7 songs Holmes sings with her dynamic voice. Rosa is not able to break the cycle. Holmes says Rosa has a softer side but has buried it as she gives her all to the life of a sleazy club singer.

Surprisingly, Elaine has only acted in a few shows, one in high school and then got hooked playing Audrey, in Little Shop

of Horrors. This past year she played the Russian spy in PACK OF LIES. She is cur-rently teaming up with Peter Clark in the cre-ation of their duo Green Room.

Having raised a fam-ily, Elaine looks for-ward to more music and more theatre as well as enjoying her work as an artist. Director of FUNKIN DEAD, James Bowlby says Elaine is a delight to work with. She is able to create a believ-able character, add an enormous impact with her singing, and assist the production with ideas that make it the hit show that it is. He hope he can entice her to play another role in another Salmon Arm Actors Studio produc-tion.

ELAINE HOLMES IS A STAR!

SALMON ARMS RONA WILL BECOME A LOWESLowes, a major home renovation company in the US, is

buying Canadas Rona. Three years ago Lowes and Rona talked but the deal did not go through. Canadas Rona is a similar company with 500 stores. Our dollars were at par three years ago. This month, after Ronas three years of upgrading its stores, including the one in Salmon Arm, negotiations were completed and an announcement was made on Feb. 2 that Lowes will buy Rona for $3.2 billion. But now our dollar is 72 cents to the American dollar. Lowes Canada will keep Ronas head office in Quebec for now. The purchase needs shareholder approval.

THE IMAM FROM VERNONS MOSQUESPOKE TO AN ARMSTRONG COMMUNITY MEETINGA refugee meeting had an interesting program in an

Armstrong school theatre on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 7. About 75 people were there on Super Bowl afternoon. An Armstrong woman spoke about the family that will be moving to Armstrong as refugees. From the woman who speaks to him every day, she said the husband speaks impeccable English. There isnt a date when they will arrive. A Vernon woman spoke about a large multi-racial committee that gathered information for a play about a Muslim family that moves into the neigh-bourhood, and the neighbours reaction. It was pub-lished into a book in 2014. Eight drama students por-trayed different people as they read the first three chapters from the book. The young imam from the Vernon mosque spoke and answered questions for half an hour. He brought a recent English translation of the Bible and an English translation of the Koran, the Islamic sacred book, believed to be the word of God as dictated to the prophet Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel and written in Arabic in the 9th century. The imam read a few similarities in the two holy books.

SECRETS OF A HIGH-FUNCTIONING ALCOHOLICA woman in the U.S. who was an alcoholic for 10

years, lived a double life. She was a bank supervisor, wife, a mother of three children, and a soccer mom. She had a dark secret that nearly destroyed her family. Finally she told her husband she was going for treat-ment, and why. When she was fully recovered, she was on Dr. Ozs TV program. Watch the riveting three-min-ute segments. In the third, her husband is with her. In the fourth, a psychologist joins them. To see it, go to www.doctoroz.com and click on former episodes.

NEW MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT STOPS DRINKINGAfter an intervention for Seamus ORegan by friends

and family, the newly-elected MP for St. Johns South-Mount Pearl went into a wellness program to adopt an alcohol free lifestyle. His husband expressed his sup-port shortly after the announcement was made online. Seamus was back before Parliament resumed. If you are reading this and wish to stop drinking, search the inter-net for Alcohol Treatment Centres BC.

NEVER ALLOW A WEBSITE TO USE YOUR LOCATIONI was searching the internet for Ardene, a box opened

on top of its home page and asked if this website could use my location. I clicked on No. One time I clicked on Yes, and for a while each time I went on some websites, I got an ad from Podollan Inns on the right side. Thats how Google makes money. It can target an audience far better than advertising in other media.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED POTATO CHIPSIf you like chocolate and you like potato chips, you

will LOVE the wavy milk chocolate covered potato chips made by Lays and available at DeMilles. The stand is in front of a checkout. A 141g. bag is $4.99.

ALL-ORGANIC MARKET NOW HAS ORGANIC BEER!Crannog Ales from Sorrento is a very unique brewery

because it not only brews organic beer but it grows the hops that go into the beer. It brings two-litre jugs, called growlers, of several varieties to the market on Askews Uptown parking lot every two weeks. Check its website or Facebook page for more information. Growlers are $20 and should be consumed within a week. Return your empty for a $5 discount on your next growler.

MARCH AGAINST MONSANTOOn May 21, 2016, activists around the world will,

once again, unite to March Against Monsanto. Search the websites and Facebook for locations. Research stud-ies have shown that Monsantos genetically-modified foods can lead to serious health conditions such as the development of cancer tumors, infertility and birth defects such as small heads and brains.

IS THE ZIKA VIRUS A SCAM? PERHAPSA subscriber to this column sent information that

Monsantos herbicide Roundup, not a mosquito, is one of the causes babies in Brazil are being born with small heads and brains. It is distributed by Jon Rappoport on nomorefakenews.com. He quotes a lot of studies and calls it Zika Freaka.

ANTIDEPRESSANT USE IN PREGNANCYLINKED TO AUTISM IN CHILDREN

Jasper the dog has had a tough week. He reached the inevitable age when he was to face the knife and finally get neutered. The worst of it is he had no clue it was coming; despite the Junior Bean Counters efforts to explain to him what was around the corner. However, like most good dogs, Jasper just wagged his tail and licked his face in appreciation of the attention.

I was given the honour of taking him to the vet. You must realize Jasper is nervous when he comes into new situations. I mean a red wash bucket will throw him for a loop if he hasnt seen it before.

So we got there bright and early. He loved the car ride downtown, but once we got out of the vehicle and walked to the door of the building he put the brakes on. No amount of coaxing was convincing him to go thru the door.

Eventually, I had to pick him up and carry him in, but as soon as I put him back down he tried to bolt for the door. I can see why they require your pet to be on leash.

As we waited for our turn, he was shivering excessively despite my attempts to calm him down. Perhaps some of the Junior Bean Counters words were beginning to sink in and he realized what was going to happen behind door #1.

The vet was fantastic and after a short discus-sion I left him to face the music.

My wife picked him up and we arrived home

around the same time that evening. He was excited to see the boys, but then came the Cone of Shame.

Any amount of enthusiasm was quickly squashed after we put the cone around his head. The vet had said the wound had to stay dry for a week, so on went the cone.

For the next three days all the dog did was pout and hang his head. The first night he liter-ally sat for an hour on our door mat staring at the floor and not moving. The boys tried lying on the floor and sticking their heads in the cone to try and perk him up, but nothing seemed to work.

Periodically we would remove the cone to feed him and allow him to go to the bathroom. During these brief moments of freedom, he would race around happy as can be. Unfortunately, these moments were brief as we would have to put the cone back on and watch him again pout for another couple hours.

The Junior Bean Counter and his little brother kept telling Jasper that the cone wasnt necessary if he would stop licking the wound, but Jasper couldnt seem to resist the temptation whenever the cone was removed.

So it was a long week of watching him stare at the wall, hang his head and pout. However, as my wife put it, Hell get it over it you did!

Smile Day was a day of no-cost dental hygiene services provided for people who otherwise cannot access this important maintenance service.

Smile Day is our own initiative. The first Smile Day was held in December 2009.

Starting in February 2010, a National effort called Gift From The Heart was held by independent dental hygiene practitioners throughout Canada, and we partici-pated in that for the past 6 years, always around Valentines day. This year, people in Ottawa decided to move GFTH to April, to coincide with dental week. Meanwhile, here in the Shuswap, things continue to be dire, it is cold and people are not seeing economic improvement. We notice the Coldest Night of the Year is happening in February also, this coming Saturday. Therefore, we decided to carry on with the

Valentines day as well as the Smile Day tradition here.

Smile Day was a success; several people were treated to dental hygiene services. Some will be returning for Interim Stabilization Therapy to repair teeth at risk, reducing pain, and preserving tooth structure until such time as the cli-ent can see a dentist for more per-manent repairs.

To date, the Smile People dental hygiene clinic has treated over 200 people through no cost events like GFTH, Smile Day, the Senior Smile Program, and the Childrens Oral Health Initiative. We are grateful for all our regular clients whose loyalty helps to support these events.

The next Smile Day will be held on Saturday, February 11, 2017.

Keep smiling, Liz-Ann Munro Lamarre, BSc, RDH

By Jill GowardIt may not be noticeable to the casual pass-

er-by, but Notch Hill Town Hall has a shiny new roof. Work began last September and was completed in an amazing two weeks.

President Alan Cook and Vice President Bruce Hlina oversaw the project, starting with the demolition stage; removing the old roof (with its fifty hornets nests), stripping the cracked and crumbling ceiling, and removing outdated electrical wiring and fixtures, etc. All of these have been replaced according to code and are now performing well!

So many other members and friends were involved in the project including Bruces son Wilson, helper Chris, Ben Fecht, Budd Brazier, Dewy, Irwin and Ian Walters, Zane of Winkler Trucking, Apex Roofing, Salmon Arm Truss, Spooner Electric, Dave Soucy, L. Turner Excavating, and many more. It took over 500 volunteer hours to complete the re-roofing.

It has to be said that considerable help came in the form of snacks and lunches from the tireless cooks and ladies of Notch Hill Hall a most welcome and generous treat.

Past and present members of the Association have, over the years, worked hard to arrive at this point. Together with countless fundraising projects such as plant sales, pancake break-fasts, trade shows, bake sales, raffles, and so much more, this achievement was for the most part made possible because of grants from the Provincial Government (MLA Greg Kyllo) and Columbia Shuswap Regional District (Area C Director Paul Demenok). These two politicians have given of their time and means and they continue to support this community in its efforts to maintain a vibrant centre for local activities. This kind of support ensures that the hall will still be there for local residents for their weddings, meetings, leisure activities, coffee houses, kids parties, and so on for years to come. With the new comfy chairs, furnace, decorating, air-conditioning, and better acous-tics, its going to be a popular place to rent from now on.

Thank you for all the support; right down to a cash-on-the-spot donation from a retired gen-tleman who stopped to rest in the gazebo and admired the devotion going into the roofing project. It will all be appreciated forever.

Notch Hill Town Hall gets new roof

A plateful of stars to Allison for purchasing our Valentines Day dinner at Fortunes Landing last Sunday night. Thank you. D & E.


Opening our eyes Face-to-face: How we look, and why we hideBy Nan Dickie

Mental illnesses, especially mood disor-ders, are invisible ill-nesses. We (and I include myself as one who has lived with clinical depression since her teens) dont develop a rash, wear a cast, or sport a DD for I have a depres-sive disorder on our foreheads. When we are well, we look as healthy, happy, and fit as you.

You have probably heard of Clara Hughes, the only Canadian Olympian to win mul-tiple medals in the summer and winter Olympic Games; she is a true Canadian icon. In 2010, Clara publicly disclosed the fact that she struggled through two years of clinical depression after the 1996 Olympics. Since 2010, she has been a spokes-

person for those who live with clinical depression and bi-po-lar disorder. She has worked with Bells Lets Talk, a multi-year program designed to break the silence around mental illness and support mental health all across Canada.

Not long ago, Clara had a very candid and revealing TV inter-view with George Stroumboulopoulos in which she spoke very frankly about her years of depression. I was in inescapable despair; I felt helpless; I thought I was a com-plete and utter failure, and had to fix myself before I came back into the world. And, she added, I thought it was all my fault. I thought I was never going to feel better; it was only going to get worse and worse and worse.

Although this was Claras reality when she was ill, when you look at a photo of her, or hear her speak, would you guess that she has mental disor-der, a mental illness? Not one bit. She looks perfectly healthy. And so it is with many of us with mood disorders when we are enjoying good mental health.

Often people with mood disorders are shocked by the onset of symptoms, which may appear literally overnight. That is the case with me. We may deny that symptoms are occurring because we want desperately for them not to. This denial may lead us to pretend that we are not on the downward slip-pery slope. Pretending to be well, the strug-gling person will do her utmost to appear well, to wear a Im fine facade. She may

reason, If I pretend I am well, maybe I can will myself into being well. This is wishful thinking and, unfortu-nately, not achievable. He may rationalize, If I pretend Im fine, no one will see how weak I am, because depres-sion is a weakness. Depression is not a weakness. Clinical depression and bi-po-lar disorder are illness-es, and it takes a great deal of courage to live through multiple epi-sodes of them. She may think, If I pre-tend Im well, no one will bug me with their ideas of what I should do to feel better. Sadly, pretending is not helping her case.

Pretending is a form of hiding. It is not pro-ductive. However, its understandable why many depressed peo-ple choose this face.

What is our typical image of a person who

is depressed? It may well be of a person looking drawn, eyes lowered, a blank expression at best, being by herself or uncomfortably with others. This is quite a different picture than when one is well.

Looking like how we feel when were depressed is the only thing many of us can do. We dont have the energy to do other-wise. But, in being and looking as we are, we are also hiding. We withdraw. We dont let others in. We become mute.

Why is this so? We make self-judgments. He thinks, I have to hide the fact Im depressed because I shouldnt be depressed. Its all my fault. Of course, we know now that it is not his fault; he has an illness. She decides, I have to hide so that others

dont see how rotten and useless I am. This is the disorder speak-ing. During an epi-sode, she is still a worthwhile, valuable human being.

So, whatever face we wear when were ill, we are hiding. How can we help depressed people realize they dont need to pretend or withdraw? We can say to him, I know how youre feeling is terrible. But I want you to know that I really care for you as much as ever. We can tell her, You are very important to me, whether you believe it or not. I know that is difficult for you to believe now, but Im telling you the truth.

What will ultimately help people who hide (i.e., pretend or with-draw) is a big chal-lenge for each, and all, of us. We need to reduce the stigma of

mental illness. You can do that now by speaking compassion-ately with someone who is depressed. (I made suggestions about this last week.) I will write an article on stigma in a few weeks as part of this series.

SPORTS & LEISUREThere is a local lacrosse association and theyre

good and getting better! 2016 is the 20th year that the Shuswap Minor Lacrosse Association (SMLA) has been based out of Salmon Arm and Enderby. With players coming from every direction; Chase, Sicamous, Enderby, Salmon Arm, and Blind Bay all coming together to form our Shuswap team. Last year both our Box Lacrosse Midget and Bantam teams went to their BCLA Provincial tour-nament- the Bantams placed second in the Province!

2015 was an exciting year for another reason, SMLA expanded to include Field Lacrosse, September to November 2015. Our first year for the U11, was really a first year. This young team, combined of players 7 to 11 years of age who had never played field lacrosse before, finished 3rd in the Interior. Our U15 team combined kids 15-12 years of age, all players showed amazing growth throughout the season. Every game was stronger and well matched - starting the season with over 50% new players, you would not have been able to tell at the end of the season!

As we roll into Spring 2016, Box Lacrosse reg-istration has started and so have Drop-In practices. Lacrosse is a sport played by both girls and boys, dont believe the rumours its just for boys. Come watch our girls, they are amazing players, and the opportunities to play womens lacrosse are out-standing down the road.

Box Lacrosse is a fantastic complement to winter hockey-it is inexpensive to equip lacrosse players as most hockey equipment can be used in lacrosse. Gretzky, Tavares, Shanahan, and Stamkos are just some of the NHL players who have been vocal in their support of lacrosse. A player can learn to play both offensive and defensive positions and make a quick transition from defence to offence and vice versa. Lacrosse reinforces the importance of quick-ness and agility around the net as well as increased hand-eye coordination when stick handling.

Lacrosse teaches players to play with their head up and to be more aware of their surroundings.

Come out and try Lacrosse. Most important thing is a great attitude and a willingness to try something new. To kick start the season, FREE drop-in sessions will be held: Wednesdays at the SASCU Indoor Sports Complex for Novice/ PeeWee (2008-2004) 7:30-8:30p.m. and Bantam/ Midget (2003- 2000) 8:30-9:30p.m. Fridays are for the younger kidsBastion Elementary for players Mini-Tyke/ Tyke/Novice (2011-2007) 6:30-7:30pm. New Player Registration Open: Feb 16 - Mar 15.

Safety equipment is required: sticks, gloves, caged helmets, shoulder pads, and mouth guards (some might be available to borrow). First time Drop-In requires Birth Certificate and Health Care Card. For more information con-tact the Registrar, Mae Dodge via e-mail [email protected] . We look forward to seeing you soon. www.shuswapminorlacrosse.com

SPORTS & LEISURE

Nearly 90 ringette teams from BC and Alberta converged on Kelowna for the 2016 Sweetheart Ringette Tournament during the weekend of Feb. 5th to 7th. Shuswap Ringette was well represent-ed, sending seven teams in divisions ranging from our youngest age group (U8) to our oldest (18+) age group. The tournament is a highlight of the year for the Shuswap players, both for the intense competition and the off ice memories it provides. Adding to the experience is the festive atmosphere at the Best Western Hotel in Kelowna, headquarters for the Shuswap teams.

At the U14 and older levels, the ringette teams compete for medals in a round robin format (4 games) followed by semi-final and final playoff games. Shuswap Ringette teams played brilliant-ly, collectively bringing home a GOLD (Open A Team), SILVER (U14B Team), and BRONZE (U16B) medal despite the intense competition. Yet another feather in the cap for Shuswap came when our Open A team was featured in the pres-tigious Opening Ceremonies match. They defeat-ed North Vancouver 3-0 to the screaming delight of the huge and boisterous crowd.

Shuswap Open (18+) CHIX WITH STIX - GOLD MEDAL

The Shuswap Open A team started the tourna-ment Friday with a nice 7-2 win over Kelowna Open. The second game, however, featured a tougher Surrey White Rock team which defeated Shuswap 5-2. Saturday morning started with an exciting game against Burnaby New West, with Shuswap edging them out 2-1 for the win. The second game of the day was another exciting game against North West Vancouver. After a scoreless first half, Shuswap got down to busi-ness and put three 3 quick goals in the net to win the game 3-0. In the Semi-Final game, Shuswap saw Burnaby New West again, coming out on top 4-1 and earning a spot in the gold medal game. The gold medal game was intense, and was tied at the end of regulation time. In the 4 on 4 over-time, Shuswaps goalie, Colleen Moorhouse, stood on her head and Riley Pickrell made a highlight reel top corner backhand shot to win the Gold Medal. Getting on the score board with either a goal(s) or assist(s) throughout the tourna-ment are: Miya Doige, Emily Ferguson, Brooklyn Hay, Alex Lipsett, Kelsey Salt, Brenna Nakazawa, Taylor Pomponio, Jaylyn Ready, Jennell Stanley, Chelsey Tarnow, Laurel Velardo, Megan Weatherill, and Hannah Young.

Anti-Bullying Campaign on February 24th

Before social media became so prevalent, instances of bullying were somewhat easy to recognize. However, with a good majority of children now engaged in digital networking and social media, bullying may not end with the ringing of the school bell, and evidence of bullying may not be so readily apparent.According to Cyberbullying statistics from the i-SAFE foundation, more than half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyberbullying. More than 80 percent of teens use a mobile phone regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for repeated cyberbullying.Cyberbullying takes place through electronic technology and differs from traditional forms of bullying. Cyberbullying can occur via text messaging, blogging, updates to social media sites and/or phone conversations. What makes cyberbullying more dif cult to detect and remedy than traditional bullying is that sometimes this type of bullying is veiled in secrecy.Those who engage in cyberbullying can create aliases and accounts under false names, allowing them to covertly engage in bullying behavior. As a result, tracking down bullies can be challenging.Although cyberbullying is on the rise, there are some things that parents and children can do to help put a stop to such unfortunate instances. Parents who feel their child is not emotionally ready for the responsibility of a digital device can hold back on purchasing a smartphone or choose one with very limited features. Some schools set strict limits on phone usage at school, and children who go only from school to home and vice versa may not have the need for an emergency phone that can open up a window for trouble.

Adolescents and teens should feel comfortable talking with their parents without the fear of reprimand. Otherwise, they may hide instances of cyberbullying or not know how to broach sensitive topics like bullying. Parents can engage in conversation with their children often and stress that the doors of communication are always open. Teens should be made aware that cyberbullying is a very real occurrence and is not just other kids having fun or joking. If behavior is repetitive and hurtful, it should be made public and addressed. Parents can monitor and limit their childrens personal accounts.

Some smartphone and tablet applications can be mirrored on the main account, enabling parents to see incoming text or video messages. A laptop or desktop computer should be placed in a shared space so that usage can be monitored. Parents can restrict tablet or smartphone usage to public areas. When online, children should be advised not to share personal information. Social media sites may be used by bullies to gather sensitive information about a person that can be used against them at a later time. Children should be urged to keep passwords secret and to never give information such as birthdays, phone numbers and addresses to people who arent close friends. Friend lists should

be restricted to only those people students interact with frequently to minimize the chance for bullying or other inappropriate behavior. Teens who have been bullied can keep evidence of the bullying and may bene t from talking with a counselor. Cyberbullying is a growing concern for educators and parents and has far-reaching implications. Getting smart about this phenomenon can help staunch new cases of online bullying.

Children grow and develop their personalities in various ways. While many youngsters are teased or receive some good-natured ribbing at some point in their school careers, some teasing can eventually turn into bullying.The National Education Association estimates that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Furthermore, more than 70 percent of students report incidents of bullying at their schools. Although children in lower grades have reported being in more ghts than those in higher grades, there is a higher rate of violent crimes in middle and high schools than in elementary schools. According to the association Make Beats Not Beat Downs, harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school shooting incidents.Bullying can take many forms, and learning the warning signs as a parent can help prevent harassment and potentially dangerous situations.Verbal: If your child reports being called names, being the recipient of racist, sexist or homophobic jokes, or being spoken to in an offensive or suggestive way, this can be a form of verbal bullying. Cyber: Social media, email and text messaging has become a way for bullies to spread malicious messages or photos. In the era of digital media, this type of bullying has increased considerably.Physical: Some bullies engage in physical attacks, including hitting, kicking, spitting, or other forms of physical confrontation. Destroying personal property also is considered physical bullying.

Indirect: Gossiping and spreading nasty rumours about a person is another form of bullying. This type of bullying may go hand-in-hand with cyber bullying.Signs your child is being bulliedParents can recognize certain signs that their child is being bullied at school. Bullied children frequently make excuses to avoid going to school. While the desire to stay home is something many children may express, those who are bullied may do so much more frequently. Bullied children tend to avoid certain places and may be sad, angry, withdrawn, or depressed. They may have trouble sleeping or experience changes in appetite, and bullied youngsters academic performance may suffer. Also, parents may notice that children return from school missing some of their belongings.

Signs your child is the bullyParents may not want to imagine their children bullying other students, but bullies do exist. Children who bully other kids have strong needs for power and negative dominance. They may nd satisfaction in causing suffering to others. Some signs that your child may be a bully include: easily becoming violent with others having friends who bully others blaming others quickly comes home with belongings

that do not belong to him or her getting in trouble with teachers or school administrators picking on siblings not accepting responsibility for actionsThere are ways parents can teach their children to act properly when faced with a bully. First, parents should explain that bullying is not the childs fault and he or she does not deserve to be picked on. Next, parents can let children know that being assertive but not violent with bullies may diffuse the situation, as some bullies thrive on the fear of their victims. If the bullying behaviour continues, the student should speak to an adult or authority gure.Parents of bullies may need to be especially mindful of their childrens behaviour. Counselling could be necessary to determine what is compelling kids to bully other students.

A BIG THANK YOU to Kelly Moores and his staff at Tim Hortons for their most generous donation of $6,720.00 to the

Shuswap Hospital Foundation, this was the proceeds raised during the Smile Cookie Campaign held in October. The money will go towards the renovation of the I.C.U. (intensive care unit)

and Chemo Therapy unit at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

shuswapoutdoors by Hank ShelleyBack in the 1960s-70s, game

wardens Don Ellis (Kelowna), Alan Frisby (Vernon), and George Lines (Revelstoke), relied on gut feelings, instinct, and working alone, when in a jam. Too, back into the 1980s, conservation officers and fishery officers worked alone, on long enforcement patrols, emergency night calls outs, game/salmon/hunter checks, with COs. Their only help; their truck radiophone, then the cell phone. Fortunately, in the mid 1990s, the RCMP channel was allowed, and many of their members thoroughly enjoyed helping out with take downs, chas-es through the bush of poachers, and arrest-ing the bad guys. Enderby members Kerri/Gord/R. Forand (Armstrong)/Tomma helped me out a num-ber of times at night,

when things got out of hand on the Shuswap river during salmon season. About 2001, for health and safety

reasons, night patrols consisted of two offi-cers, which reduced the stress level, and helped in compliance issues. Many times with traffic stops on a bush road, during hunting season, youll see a pick-up approaching, just as your partner activated the emergency lights, and hunters quickly ejected rounds from

their rifles. Road blocks: we, along with National Parks war-dens, COs, RCMP members, and Fish

and Wildlife officers, held annual checks at Rogers P a s s , Greenwood , and Jasper National Park. These checks resulted in a multitude of v a r i o u s charges. Tow trucks lined up to take vehi-cles from pro-

hibited drivers. Contraband and/or drugs were seized on consensual searches.Salmon, crab, and oys-ters were taken on over-limits. It was an estimated 3-4 tons of sockeye alone, headed to Alberta on a sum-mer weekend. So now, we go from the serious nature of the enforce-ment aspect of road checks, to a humorous

roadside check, down in the US of A. I hope youll enjoy a good chuckle on this one, although a bit bizarre. An Arizona patrol offi-cer pulled over a Harley rider for going over the posted speed. The officer asked the rider for his name,-Fred, he replied. The officer then said,Fred who? Just Fred the biker replies. The offi-cer, being in a good mood, thought he just might give Fred a warning ticket, if he can get the guys last name. The officer once again asks Fred for his last name, now think-ing he may have a nut case on his hands. So, Fred, let me have your last name. So Fred says, its a long story, so stay with me and Ill explain. The offi-cer settled back on his patrol motorcycle, let down the kick stand, and began to adhere to Freds story. I was born Fred Johnson. All

through school, I got real good grades, and upon graduation from high school, wanted to become a doctor. Went to college, medical school, internship, and residency and got my degree. I was now Fred Johnson, MD. Got bored at being a doctor, so enrolled into a school of dentistry, which was now my dream. Went all the way through school, graduated, and began a dental practice. I was now Fred Johnson, MD DDS. Got tired of looking into peoples mouths, working with drills, and all that stuff, but my assistant was a pretty younger thing, so started to fool around with her. Oh, now, it was bad news. She gave me VD. So now Im Fred Johnson MD DDS with VD. It wasnt long, before the AMA found out about my VD and took away my MD. Now, the ADA was very con-

Road blocks and traffic stops

cerned about my VD and took away my DDS so I was left just Fred Johnson, with VD. Then the VD took away my Johnson so now my name is just Fred! The officer doubled over in laugh-ter, tears running down his face. Hed heard some hilarious stories and excuses from driv-ers hed stopped over time, but he just couldnt wait to tell Freds story to the other officers at their police station.

Here and There in The Shuswap

Another great turn out happened last Saturday night, the 13th, for the Salmon Arm fish and game fundraiser, dinner, and dance. The proceeds going to enhancing wildlife projects through out the Shuswap region. In combination with the

Chase fish and game club, its possible enhancement work will be done on Cedar creek, to remove the beaver dam and brush out the walking trail along the creek. Working with DFO come spring, to place regulation signs at launch sites on Mara, Big Shuswap, Little Shuswap, Shuswap river, and S. Thompson rivers explaining to anglers bait bans, bar-bless hooks and catch retentions. Remember, a land fit for wildlife is a land fit for people, so keep a sharp eye out for polluters, those who dump garbage on side roads, and who are fish hogs on the ice or out on the water!

Letters to the EditorOur practice was recently informed of the article entitled Whiplash in the Lakeshore News on

January 29th. We feel that the physiotherapy profession has been misrepresented and would like to respond. The article leads the reader to believe that the referenced study from 2004 published in the Journal of Whiplash and Associated Disorders was comparing chiropractic treatments to physiother-apy treatments and the authors take-home message was that the study supported the use of chiro-practic spinal adjustments in the treatment of whiplash. In fact, the study was completed entirely by physiotherapists and was designed to compare different types of physiotherapy treatment.

Furthermore, due to design flaws and year of publication, the article is now considered dated and of relative low quality. Research has come a long way in 12 years, and physiotherapy treatment has progressed with it. All health care providers are professionally and ethically responsible to provide treatment based on the best available evidence to date. A recent Cochrane Review (2015) of 51 studies supports active rehabilitation for patients with neck pain, and in particular, neck and shoulder strengthening exercises. However, the most successful treatment protocol generally involves a num-ber of techniques and approaches used in combination. To summarize the current high quality research, optimal treatments for managing neck pain and whiplash injuries should involve a progres-sive strengthening program with a short course of manual therapy such as mobilizations, manipula-tions and soft-tissue release techniques as well as well-timed, accurate patient education.

We often share in the treatment of patients with chiropractors and other health professionals in town and value the relationship we have with them. It should never be a question of which individ-ual health profession is better, but rather what is the best care plan for each individual patient. We believe that the best quality care involves a multidisciplinary approach where all team members work in communication to provide the most up-to-date treatment available.

We are more than happy to provide references to the most current research on request and any questions may be directed to us at Live Well Physiotherapy.

WHIPLASH: EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT

In the February 7th edition of the Lakeshore News, a letter to the Editor column, a J. Muir of Canoe tells us how the left leaning media are in bed with the federal Liberals. All we ever hear is how bad the Conservatives were and are? The words from J. Muir are the absolute truth and it is encouraging to hear from the clear thinkers around the Shuswap. The local media are out of control. We need to hear the truth from people like J. Muir to remind us we are not always told the truth by the media. Many have asked over the years why the Lakeshore News and other newspapers do not have any right of center
