Health centre closures spark rally Chase: Citizens draw attention to increasing problem with lack of doctors, services. By Cavelle Layes MARKET NEWS STAFF

Chase residents took to the streets July 14, in an effort to protect the future of the Chase Health Care Centre. Sick of seeing signs on the door saying that services would be closed for yet another stretch of days, Val Donnelly decided to organize a day of protest in hope of getting the attention of government. Donnelly is a Chase resident with a substantial background in health care, including a career as a paramedic and an emergency medical dispatcher. She was responsible for the start-up of the first responders in the North Shuswap, and helped out with the South Shuswap as well. Donnelly also ran for council in the last election, taking on the healthcare platform. Tuesday’s event was a success in Donnelly’s eyes, with 18 people showing up in the morning and many more dropping by throughout the day. “It is a weekday; I understand many people have to work,” she said. Donnelly says she received plenty of feedback from Chase residents throughout the day though.

“The most common concern is that they are worried about having no doctors,” she says. At about 3 p.m. the group of protestors positioned themselves in front of the village office in order to meet the mayor and council as they were heading in for the 4 p.m. council meeting. Most of the councillors made a quick comment as they entered the building, but neither in favour nor support of the protest. Mayor Ron Anderson was the only one to approach the group, having a quick word before making his way into the building. “He asked us what we expected them to do about it and what it was that we thought they did in there,” said Donnelly, clearly unimpressed with his response. Coun. Rod Crowe said that even he doesn’t have a doctor in Chase, that he travels to Port Coquitlam to see his doctor. Ironically, the Chase Health Care Centre was closed during the protest, once again due to a lack of doctors, which Donnelly says is the top health-care concern for the area. According to Bryan Redford, community area director for Interior Health, the

# Chase Mayor Ron Anderson walks into the village office as a group of protesters gather outside with placards expressing their concerns regarding closures at the Chase Health Care Centre and a lack of doctors in the village. Chase Health Centre was closed for 16 days between April 2010 and the end of March 2011. “This is very good for an area like Chase,” he notes. But the situation appears to be getting worse. According to the Interior Health website, a lack of doctors has resulted in the issuing of ‘temporary closure’ notices for a total of 23 days from May, 2012 until now. These closures have forced residents to leave Chase and instead go to either Salmon Arm or Kamloops for emergency care. “From my perspective I appreciate that residents have concerns when ER’s

get closed,” says Redford. “IH is not happy any time we need to close an ER. We don’t have enough physicians. We need three physicians on any given day to operate the ER, in order for the doctors to meet demands of the clinic.” Redford noted IH hired a second doctor on July 23, and is actively recruiting a third. While three doctors would keep the ER open, Donnelly says she would like to see more, pointing out that Chase once had six doctors working at any given time. Redford explains that Chase often does not have the proper number of per-

manent doctors in place to keep the centre open, but are able to do so through other methods. “Any time we don’t have a permanent position we rely on locums,” he says, pointing out B.C. has a limited supply of physicians and even fewer locums. He says IH continues to try to keep the centre open. Redford believes that Chase does a great job recruiting doctors to move to work in the area, and credits the community for this success. “Mayor Anderson and the people of Chase have done an outstanding job,” he See Interior on page 2

Interior Health actively recruiting another doctor Continued from front says, “but when it comes to recruiting, it falls to the community and how they can present it.” Donnelly, however, says recruiting is not the issue in Chase, it is getting the doctors to stay in the area. She says she would like to focus on the issues that are holding Chase back, identify the problems and find a solution to fix them. “Why aren’t doctors staying in Chase? There are other rural communities around here who have less to offer and

they do not have the issues that Chase has been having.” Donnelly explained how when the Chase Primary Health Care Project was sold to the village, residents were promised a great number of services in return, including diabetic clinics, dietary clinics and counselling among others. Since then, Donnelly says, these services have been cut dramatically. “If it is this that is holding our doctors back the solution is simple: get rid of the Primary Health Care Project,” she said. Redford does not be-

lieve services in Chase have been officially cut – there is simply no one there to provide them. Donnelly says she is worried that IH will try to phase out the Chase Health Care Centre , which she says would be devastating to the community. As for the day of protest, Donnelly hopes it attracted the attention of some government officials. “Government has the power to offer the incentives that are needed; local government has the power to go to higher levels of government to get the help

Man, teen arrested for trafficking An adult man and a 16-year-old girl were arrested Tuesday, Aug. 14 for trafficking in crack cocaine. Police were investigating some Salmon Arm residents for drug dealing, and arranged to meet the suspects in the soccer fields beside

Centenoka Park Mall. When the suspects arrived they were arrested and RCMP seized a large amount of crack cocaine, money and cell phones from each person. The man was recently released from prison, while the girl was

found to be carrying drugs for the man. She has been released into the care of the Ministry of Children and Families. Names of the accused are being withheld until formal charges are approved by Crown counsel.

TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE SERVICE: YES IT’S A REAL SERVICE Part 1 of a 2 part series

ou just took your car in for its regular transmission service. You have the transmission serviced about every two years, because you’d like to avoid having to spend money on a rebuild. The service writer asks, “Would you like a complete fluid exchange service at the same time?” You smile. You know that’s a scam. If it weren’t, it’d be recommended in your owners manual. They’re just looking for a way to charge you more money, right? Not even close. A transmission fluid exchange is more than just a real service: It’s a worthwhile addition to your regular maintenance routine. Here’s why: During the more familiar transmission service, the technician removes the pan and replaces the filter. Then he reinstalls the pan and refills the transmission. That type of service is valuable and worthwhile, but it only replaces part of the transmission fluid. In some cases, less than half of the fluid is replaced. The rest of the old, worn out fluid remains in the transmission. That’s important, because transmission fluid does more than just lubricate the transmission parts. It also cools the transmission, and even provides the connection between the engine and the wheels. When automatic transmission fluid is squeezed between the clutch plates in the transmission, the fluid takes on a new characteristic. It acts like little “Velcro” hooks, to help the clutches grab onto one another. That holding characteristic is critical for the transmission to operate properly.

not believe that sending residents to other areas is the proper solution. “We shouldn’t be sending the message that it isn’t a big deal to head to another city for proper health care,” says Donnelly. “Many Chase residents do not own cars, or are elderly. “The drive to Kamloops may seem short when you are leisurely making your way home from work, but it seems like forever when you are staring into the face of a loved one whose life depends on immediate emergency care.”

We actually provide the clinic staffing, which makes it very easy for them to come into the community,” he explains. Redford also stresses that when emergency is closed, it doesn’t mean patients can’t access emergency services. He says the ambulance service is available to transport patients to hospital in Salmon Arm or Kamloops. But Donnelly does

OPINION Soccer bronze worth its weight in gold Sometimes, it seems that bronze is worth as much as gold. Such is certainly the case for Canada’s Olympic Women’s Soccer team, whose inspirational win came, not in the hoped-for gold medal game, but in the final bronze round — A bronze medal that is Canada’s first Summer Games medal in a traditional team sport since the 1936 Berlin Games, when the men’s basketball team won silver. These women sum up all that is best about athletic competition: spirit. This team refused to give up, not after a humiliating last place finish at the World Cup last year, and not after a heartbreaking 4-3 loss in extra time against the U.S. in the semifinals. The team was clearly crushed after the loss, but by Friday had put that aside as they headed into a game against the highly-favoured French team. Again, another gruelling game, but the squad hung on for a scoreless 90 minutes. Then, two minutes into extra time Diana Matheson drove in the winning goal, and put their team into the record books and Canadian soccer on the international map. But the goal did more than that. In Canada, where sports revolve around hockey, many are surprised to find that more people play soccer than the national sport. And it is for the upcoming players that the women’s soccer bronze medal win may have its most lasting effect. All those young players have not only an example of where the sport might take them, to the very highest levels of competition, but an example of competitive spirit to show them that it is possible to make a dream reality. -Penticton Western News

Determining what you really need There was a time when I went fishing, in part, to get away from having to take pictures with my full-sized, motorized, heavy-duty professional camera with its massive telephoto lens. However, nowadays I find that I quite enjoy taking my new little Nikon Coolpix P7200 digital camera along with me pretty well everywhere I go. Today’s small point-andshoot cameras, with their image-stabilized lenses, are amazing. Having said that, there is still nothing like a good steady tripod to aid in getting crisp, sharp images. This is something I’ve learned the hard way – on more than one occasion – when I was too lazy to pack along my relatively large, heavy metal Manfrotto tripod. That was also in the days before I had acquired my four-section, carbon-fibre tripod that weighs next to nothing (by comparison) and breaks down to a more packable size. When it comes to tripods (and/or monopods for that matter), lighter and smaller does not necessarily mean

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray better. A flimsy tripod does little to prevent camera shake. The more stable the tripod, the more stable the image. It’s that simple. I can spot an image that was taken using a tripod a mile away. Especially photos that were taken under lower light conditions. You can determine for yourself what will work best as far as weight, size and stability. The trick is to have a tripod that is portable enough, yet sturdy enough to keep your camera steady. Another piece of photo gear that comes in handy when heading out into the great outdoors is a wellmade, comfortable and easy to carry backpack. Whether going on a short hike or far afield, a well-designed photo backpack allows you to carry

your gear more comfortably for greater distances. Always remember though, that whatever distance you walk one way, you have to walk back when everything in your pack seems all that much heavier and more cumbersome. There are a number of good quality packs out there that will help you organize, protect and carry your gear. I have two different photo backpacks, both made by Lowe. One I use constantly. The other is more of a puteverything-into-it-until-I-getthere type of pack I use more as a travel case for all my gear. It is not the kind of pack I would want to carry around on my back for any amount of time or distance, but it is well-made and has lots of protection for cameras and lenses. It also has built-in wheels that makes it great for packing and transporting a lot of gear. The little slingshot backpack that I have with me constantly is indispensable. I can carry my point-and-shoot digital camera, an external flash, all sorts of extra batteries and cards, a small pair of

binoculars and some foldedup aluminum foil that I use for bounce lighting, as well as, my lunch and whatever murder mystery pocketbook I happen to be reading. I can strap my carbon-fibre tripod to the bottom of the pack and I’m good for the day. While I never used to think there was a place for artificial light in nature photography, I have come to change my mind to some degree, in spite of the fact that it is one more thing to carry. Flash allows you to fill in shadows and even out the lighting ratio between the shadow and brightly illuminated highlights. I also carry a couple of feet of aluminum foil in my pack, which I can unfold and use to bounce sunlight back onto my subject when doing close-up nature photography. The whole thing about deciding what to take (and what not to take) on any photographic field trip is determining what you absolutely need – because you will definitely use it – and not what you’ll just end up carting along for nothing.

Time to rock Roots & Blues

The Woman’s Fair One day trade show for women!

By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

No more sleeps! It’s time. The gates to the 20th annual Roots and Blues festival open at 4 p.m. “With a huge roster of Canadian and indie talent, there is something for everyone this year,” says marketing manager Scott Crocker. “Community celebrating a world of music together.” That’s more than 40 acts on six stages, 29 concessions in the Global Food Village – a culinary collision of Western cuisine and ethnic delights, a 37-booth Artisan Market and a merchandise tent with festival gear and CDs. There’s also a great opportunity to kick back and enjoy the talent from our own backyard. “This is a board member initiative bringing music and dance from the local area to celebrate the 20th anniversary,” says Salmon Arm Folk Music Society board member Ted Crouch. “This is not a paid gig and the lineup is representative of the 20 years of the festival.” The Our Backyard lineup includes: Saturday, Aug. 18: 12:25 p.m. – Shuffle Demons; 1 p.m. – Salmon Armenians; 1:30 p.m. – Alan Bates and Sue Kyle; 3:30 p.m. – Dave Allan; 4 p.m. – Blu & Kelly Hopkins and 4:30 p.m. – Aimie Laws.

# Neil Towers, Tayo Branston, Carl Juligand and the rest of the high-octane Five Alarm Funk crew set the fire to last year’s Roots and Blues Festival – and they’re back this year. nette Clement; 1:30 p.m. – Ted Crouch; 3:30 p.m. – One Camel Short; 4 p.m. – Reno Jack; 4:30 p.m. – Dominique Fraissard. Located next to the folk society office, to the right of the main gate, Our Backyard consists of two stages – one for music and one for dance. This allows spectators to simply turn their chairs around to catch the action on either stage.

What to take Daytime temperatures are expected to soar and while water is readily available on-site – along with other beverages – seasoned festivalgoers carry sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat and even and umbrella. When the sun sinks behind the mountain, the temperature often drops quickly too. So, socks, a sweater, long pants and a blanket

are favoured by many. Other items to remember are a low-back chair or tarp, camera, binoculars and, of course, some bucks to buy food and festival music and souvenirs. There is a first aid station onsite and people with mobility issues can get assistance by advising security volunteers identified by their red shirts. “There are lots of tickets still available at the gate,” says Crocker of the three-day festival that opens today, Aug. 17. “The sun will be shining, people will be smiling – it’s going to be one helluva party.” Gates open at 9:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.

THE SALMON ARM

SILVERBACKS SPOTLIGHT 6’5, 210lbs., these sound like the dimensions of a broad-shouldered defender more than a fleet-footed goaltender; but that’s just what 19 year old Adam Clark brings to the crease. In a rookie season that started with the Sherwood Park, Alberta native struggling to find a win, Clark was drastically better in the second half on his way to a showing of admiration from both teammates and fans. Clark says his summer regimen is all about improvement “I’ve been focusing on simplifying my game. I spent a week in Wisconsin with Dallas Stars Goalie Coach Mike Valley and I’ve also got a trainer back home I saw three times a week, other than that I’m in the gym every day, biking, swimming, running, staying on the ice as much as I can as well.” The Albertan net-minder says looking at the defenseman in front of him is easy on the eyes “You look at what we have on the way back from last year and it sure makes you a feel lot safer when you have a strong defensive core like ours.” When looking at the schedule for this season, Clark didn’t take long to find a game that got his juices flowing “That home opener against Vernon, we have to show the fans that we’re not what we ended off with last year, losing 10-1. We’re here to battle, to show Salmon Arm that we’re here to win.” Join us next week for our SilverBack Spotlight with Vernon native Alex Gilles.

Rabid bat scratches man By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

A Sunnybrae resident is undergoing treatment after an encounter with a rabid bat two weeks ago. Ray Alleyn was clearing away sandbags on his lakeshore property, when he was scratched by the bat. “I heard him yelp and the bat landed on the step to the dock,” said wife Doreen, who had seen a bat flying around in the daylight a few days earlier. “I thought, ‘I don’t like that this happened,’ and I went and got a yogurt container.” Back on the shoreline, an anxious Doreen says she was very worried the bat was no longer there. “I was stressed out, but I calmed down and saw it floating in the water,” she says. “I scooped it up with the container.” Ray called the BC Nurseline where he was told to wash the area with soap and water and call the local public health office in order to get the bat tested. Doreen, who used to work in a public health office, was somewhat surprised when the request for testing was initially “pooh-poohed.” “It’s a good thing he followed up and pressed them,” says Doreen, who noted her husband followed through, “because he knows his wife is a worry wart.” She says Ray was told public health staff don’t want to be fear-mongering and that there is only a small chance of the bat actually being rabid. “The actual time between infection and when you get sick (called the “incubation period”) ranges from

10 days to seven years,” notes the PubMed Health website. “The average incubation period is three to seven weeks. Once the symptoms appear, the person rarely survives the disease, even with treatment.” “I would have slept with one eye open all that time, wondering if something was gonna happen,” says Doreen. Whether he was affected, the Alleyns will never know because Ray opted for preventative treatment before the test results were returned. When the bat tested positive for rabies, he was called to the health unit where he received four injections in one day, with shots scheduled for three consecutive weeks. Jennifer Jeyes, communicable disease specialist with Interior Health, says the health region takes it very seriously when people come in contact with bats. In 2011, IH investigated 12 bat/people contacts in the Thompson-Cariboo-Shuswap. Only two were brought in for testing and both came back negative, says Jeyes. “Overall, in the province there are a few that do test positive,” she says, noting that in 2011 only seven bats tested positive for rabies in the entire province. “It’s not a high number, but the reason we take it so seriously is bats are the one species that do routinely carry rabies – just at a low level.” “We recommend rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (treatment) with a series of injections that give both immediate and long-term protection against the rabies virus.”

RCMP issue warning about counterfeit currency in region “The typical modus operandi is for the passer to make an inexpensive purchase and pay with a large denomination, in turn receiving a large percentage of change back in authentic currency, leaving the bogus bill in the till,” said RCMP spokesman Cpl. Dan Moskaluk. The RCMP has received 23 complaints about the passing or attempted passing of counterfeit bills in the past two weeks. The incidents involved bank notes in $20, $50 and $100 denominations and occurred in Salmon Arm, West Kelowna, Penticton, Kamloops, Okanagan Falls and other communities.

By Tracy Hughes MARKET NEWS STAFF

Police are alerting residents and businesses in the Okanagan and Thompson Valley to a wave of fake currency passing through the region. On Aug. 8, three counterfeit $100 bills were passed to Salmon Arm businesses. These bills appear to be the same as those passed in other Okanagan communities. The bill can be identified as fraudulent by noting the silver band across the bill which contains embossed “$5” repeated on this reflective strip. Video surveillance has been obtained of the male who passed these bills and Salmon Arm police continue to investigate the matter.

bogus bank note scams. “Customarily, what we do see at times is that drinking establishments might be victimized because there’s lower light and a higher volume of clientele, so there’s a lower chance of being detected,” he said. The fake currency is often trafficked on the black market like drugs, he added, with a central manufacturer selling to wholesalers who unload the product to street-level dealers and users. “Normally we’ll see an individual or a group of individuals pass fake notes in a region for a period of time until public awareness becomes an issue for them, or our investigations are successful. It’s very similar to when we see travelling shoplifters going from town to town,” he said.

Milestone anniversary for park SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman

Fifty years ago, Shuswap’s largest protected area, Monashee Provincial Park, was established thanks to the efforts of a number of local conservationists. Nearly 200 people celebrated the park’s anniversary on June 1 at the Cherryville Hall, with an open house and exhibits followed by speakers, including BC Parks staff and local MLA Eric Foster, and a giant birthday cake. The Cherryville Historical Society, who sold commemorative posters to raise funds to promote a proposed expansion of the park, sponsored the event. One of the highlights of the event was also a historical 70-minute film, Call of the Monahsees, about a pack trip into the area produced by local historian, Ernie Lavolette in the early 1960s. The film was recently converted to a DVD, thanks to funding from an Albertan scientist, Claude Labine, who has a summer home in Cher-

ryville. Copies of the DVD are available for purchase in Cherryville and proceeds will assist the newly formed group, Friends of Monashee Park. Although the park’s birthday party was a popular event, this anniversary year has been bittersweet because access to the park was cut off on June 23 due to a massive flood that washed out the only road into the area. It was the same heavy rain-on-snow event that flooded Sicamous and Hummingbird creeks. Star Creek flows out of the hills below Tsuius Mountain to the west of the park and when the heavy rain hit, the creek burst its banks and flooded both the Sugar Lake Road and the road into the park. The main road was quickly repaired, but the damage to the road into the park was more severe. The provincial government is now working with the local logging company, Tolko, to rebuild the road and the goal is to have it repaired before the end of August. However, more work is needed to ensure the creek remains within its banks the next time there is heavy precipitation. The Star Creek watershed has been heavily logged in the past, and these clearcuts increase the flow of

water during spring run-off. Another problem is that the creek’s fan is unstable due to a forest fire in the 1950s and will continue to be unstable until the trees grow to maturity. Monashee Park has a rich history, as the alpine area has been a popular destination for hiking since the early 1900s, when Bill Fraser and an unidentified companion walked across Canada and spent the winter in a hastily built log cabin at Margie Lake. That spring he journeyed on to the coast but then returned to settle at Sugar Lake where he built a threestory cedar log lodge on a rise overlooking the lake. This was a popular pristine fishing lake where a number of prominent Vernon residents had established summer homes. Fraser soon added a number of cabins and his lodge became important for providing pack-horse services for forest fire lookout stations and outdoor enthusiasts hiking into the alpine country and majestic mountains of the Peters Lake area, named after a lodge guest from England. Peters Lake is far above the scenic Rainbow Falls which blocks fish

passage. In 1940, the Summerland Trout Hatchery delivered 8,000 fingerlings to the Fraser Lodge and the next morning Andrew Hankey delivered the fish to the lake with packhorses in record time to ensure their survival. The exceptional recreational values of Sugar Lake abruptly ended in 1942 when a storage dam was built at Brenda Falls that raised the level of the lake by seven metres. Since Fraser Lodge was built on high ground it continued to provide an access point for visitors into the Peters Lake area, including those who used floatplanes in the 1950s. When the bridge was built spanning the upper Shuswap River, it opened the area to logging and provided improved access for alpine hiking and fishing. Eventually the area

became so popular, Bill Fraser and a number of other conservationists began lobbying the government to turn the area into a park. Scottish surveyor Donald McIntyre has long been credited for naming the mountains the Monashees in 1881, which has always been translated from the Gaelic as “Mountains of Peace.” However, local historian and writer Don Elzer has a new theory, since mountain in Gaelic is sliabh, pronounced shleeve and peace in sith. Elzer believes that Monashee more accurately describes the mythical fairy inhabitants of the island of Mona and this theory corresponds to a movement in the late 1800s to restore the old Gaelic culture.

SPCA offers pick-a-price for cats The love and companionship of a cat is priceless, but from Thursday, Aug. 23 to Saturday, Aug. 25, adopters can choose an adult cat from any BC SPCA location – and name their own adoption fee. “The BC SPCA takes in more than 17,000 homeless cats and kittens each year and summer is the peak season

where our shelters are filled to capacity,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “Summer is especially hard on adult cats because with so many kittens in the shelters people sometimes overlook the wonderful adult cats who have so much to offer.” Chortyk adds, “Our cats are a great value

any time of the year, but during the Pick your Purr-fect Price promotion, the animals will be even more accessible to adopters.” For more details on the Pick your Purr-fect Price event, visit spca. bc.ca to view all adoptable animals at SPCA locations across B.C. The Shuswap SPCA is located at 5850 Auto Road.

# Mickey Sims poses at the Salmon Arm Wharf with his most recent Senior Masters Middleweight World Championship belt.

Sims repeats as boxing champion By Cavelle Layes MARKET NEWS STAFF

A Salmon Arm resident returns home a world champion for the second year in a row. Whether it is his determination, skill, or pure luck, Mickey Sims certainly has what it takes to make it in the tough world of the boxing ring. Sims headed back to familiar rings in Kansas City, Missouri, Aug. 2 to compete in the World Champion

Boxing Tournament – a competition Sims describes as the largest amateur boxing competition in the world. “The Olympic fighters are normally in attendance as well,” says Sims, however, none were in present this year due to the London Summer Olympics. The Salmon Arm fighter has trained for months through extensive routines, sparring with other masters in the area, and sticking to

a strict dietary regimen to prepare for the Senior Masters Middleweight World Championship. Just days before heading into the competition Sims had said he felt he was in better shape than he was the year before and was hoping to prove himself right in Kansas City. There were only four competitors in Sims’ See Boxer on page 19

Boxer considers next moves Continued from pg.18 weight category and weight class this year. This meant he would only need to win one bout before being sent to the finals. Sims explains that the day before his fight he was speaking to a fellow fighter whom he had fought the year before. It was during this conversation that Sims met his first opponent. “He had asked the other fighter who he was fighting, and he said ‘some Canadian guy,’” said Sims. When his opponent learned that the Canadian guy was Sims and that he was the reigning world champion, Sims says he became somewhat frazzled. “He kept saying, ‘Oh you’re the champion, you’re the champion.’ I tried to say no, I was the champion last year, this year I am just a fighter.” Sims describes waking up early the next morning for the weighin the day of his first fight, after which he immediately began to get himself pumped up for the five o’clock fight. He warmed up around three, got his hands taped and gloves

on, and then finally headed for the ring. He admits to being a little nervous, but still remained quite confident in his abilities. In the ring, the officials inspected his gloves while waiting for his opponent to make his way down. When his opponent still had not shown up, the officials called out his name one final time stating if he did not make it to the ring, he would be disqualified. Soon after this final call, Sim’s opponent stepped into the area, but instead of sporting his mandatory headgear and gloves he was wearing his street clothes. The other fighter claimed to be sick and backed out of the fight. Sims still thinks there was more to it than the fighter simply being sick. The referee walked Sims to the middle of the ring and held up his hand. Sims was automatically sent to the final round. “It was disappointing really. I was expecting to fight and had worked myself up to do so. Instead I had to go and workout afterwards in order to release some of the adrenaline that had built up.” In the final round

Sims was up against an opponent who was substantially taller than him. He explains that while this gave his opponent a definite advantage in reach, he still had the advantage in power. Sims had to figure out a method that would make it difficult for his opponent to take advantage of his extended reach, and so he started with a number of low shots which forced his opponent to drop his hands. Sims followed this with a number of

Ride unites generations By Lynda Hooper MARKET NEWS STAFF

Getting thrown or falling off a horse is all part of learning to ride well. Twelve-year-old Emily Francois had been thrown just a few days prior, and there she was up on the back of Sugar, with more knowledge about herself and her steed. On the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 14, trucks and trailers began to arrive at Lorne Sampson’s rodeo grounds in Chase, in preparation for the Unity Ride. The fourday trip would cover

100 kilometres in total, stopping at three camps on the way overnight, eventually arriving at Simpcw Secwepemc Gathering near Barriere on Friday, Aug. 17. In March 2009, Kukpi7 Wayne Christian of Splats’in was one of 17 Secwepemc band chiefs who formed the Chiefs Working Group and signed a protocol agreement establishing an over-arching commitment to work together and develop a nation-based approach to Secwepemc child welfare.

Backs up over park benches By Cavelle Layes MARKET NEWS STAFF

Local business owners are pushing to remove benches from downtown area, with the hope that troublesome teens will soon follow. Vic Calvert, owner of the Underwood Hotel, appeared before Chase council Aug. 14, expressing his concern over the types of crowds that are drawn to a park bench situated outside his building. Calvert said he has not even officially opened his doors yet and potential customers are already asking him to move the bench. “They are intimi-

dated by the people who gather there,” said Calvert. Sears manager Susan Bleile, has similar concerns. She says teenagers hanging out on the bench in front of her store during working hours often scare away customers. “There must be more appropriate spots for a park bench than on a street corner,” said Bleile. Both Calvert and Bleile claim the benches are contributing to the vandalism issues that continue to occur in the area. Another member of the gallery, one who rents from Calvert, said she watched a group

carrying on up and down the street before beating up the pop machines and eventually breaking one of the Underwood’s windows. Calvert did not want to completely get rid of the park benches, suggesting they be relocated. Bleile told council she understands the benches were there for beautification purposes, but questioned whether the litter and vandalism that seems to be related to them does not counteract this purpose. Someone else in the gallery suggested the benches be moved to the playground at Memorial Park, pointing out the park has a great

playground that is often frequented by local families as well as tourists, who have nowhere to sit while the children play. While the benches may be a nuisance in the downtown area, she said they would be greatly appreciated in the park by those who could really use them. Coun. Rick Berrigan said he agreed that Memorial Park does need benches and added he would like to look into adding a number of them to that location. Mayor Ron Anderson, however, doesn’t believe removing the benches will eliminate the vandalism issue in the downtown area

Unforgettable four-day journey for youth Continued from A21 told 10-year-old Lincoln Yarama, his horse Kelly was a good personality match. Yarama calmly encouraged Kelly, noticing her nervousness as he was handed a feathered staff for the trip. Caring for each other is a key element as thrown riders were checked for injuries, along with equipment checks. As 12-year-old Eleanna Pena posed

for a photo on the back of Sany, her auntie says, “That’s the last time you get up on that horse without proper footwear.” Chief Christian prepared a smudge to bless horses and riders, and everyone prayed for safety on the fourday trip. Riders from Okanagan, Adams Lake, and Neskonlith Indian bands were among the group – small family reunions evidenced by the hugs and smiles as

they met. Adams Lake Indian Band Chief Nelson Leon prayed, “Look after our children, where our future is. Getting to know each other helps communities work together, out on the land is important too. Have a safe journey.” As the group of approximately 20 horses and riders came together in the rodeo corral, nerves seemed to calm down somewhat.

The spectators had a good laugh when they thought Leon said something about someone coming from Whitehorse. His comment was actually about “the woman on the white horse.” In a more relaxed move, the group left the corral and took the road heading north toward the mountain they were about to climb. It is a trip no one is likely to forget, especially the youth.

completely, nor the amount of people who linger there. He said this is an issue that must be worked on with the local RCMP in order to see any real improvements. Council agreed that the request to move the benches from downtown Chase was reasonable and voted to discuss the matter further at their Sept. 4 committee of the whole meeting.

# Members of the Kamloops Indian Band learn to stand up paddle board at Chase Memorial Park.

Boards grow in popularity An easy-to-learn activity, appealing to all ages and fitness levels, stand up paddle boarding (SUP) participants can quickly progress, developing the skills necessary to improve fitness or simply enjoy the ‘walking on water’ experience. SUP promotes balance, strength, and endurance. It is one of the best workouts for developing core strength and overall fitness. The benefits have been realized by professional athletes, celebrities and weekend warriors alike. SUP roots run deep in Hawaiian surf history. In the 1940s, Waiki-

VILLAGE VOICE Lynda Hooper ki’s ‘beach boys’ used single blade ‘kanu’ paddles to propel their oversized surfboards to watch over their guests. Sixty years later, SUP is one of the fastest-growing water sports in the world. A lifetime outdoor enthusiast, runner, ski-

er, paddler and surfer, Bodie Shandro first embraced SUP in 2008. Since then, he has instructed hundreds of first time enthusiasts. Considered a veteran SUP competitor, Shandro is one of the first Canadians to have raced in some the world’s most prestigious and demanding events, including the Battle of the Paddle California and Hawaii, Paddle Royal in Puerto Rico and WhaSUP VI in St. Thomas. In July 2011, Shandro became one of the first Canadian paddle boarders to successfully navigate the Channel of Bones in

the SUP World Championship, a 32-mile race from Molokai to Oahu He is Canada’s only ASI Master Certified SUP instructor by the World Stand Up Paddleboard Association. Shandro is one of Paddle Canada’s first Instructor Trainers. SUP training is available at Chase Memorial Park though Sandro’s business, Surfit.

New restaurant Chef Peter Saul, with partner Sabrina

Meyer, are ready to serve hungry patrons at Little Shuswap Restaurant in the Chase Country Inn. They are open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Meyer says, “There’s a little bit of everything on the menu, a fusion of Italian, Greek, Asian, and Indigenous fare.” Her long-time industry experience includes operating a diner in Golden. Saul was educated at Caribou College, the former name of Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, graduating as chef and becoming first appren-

tice at Quaaout Lodge. That was 25 years ago. “Our ingredients are fresh, everything is made from scratch,” said Saul, when asked what distinguishes the dining experience at his and Meyer’s restaurant.

Research Chase and District Museum curator Damon Colgan, along with Board of Directors President Vic Pages, is available to help with historical research through the archival material at the newly restored and renovated historical building. Much of the museum displays remain

covered in soot, requiring clean up prior to setup and display. Colgan is planning Archival Restoration Workshops to start in the fall which will train volunteers to gently clean precious heritage items from long ago. The sign design contest stays open until Aug. 31 – so there’s still time to submit entries. Volunteers interested in helping out with artifact cleanup and other museum activities, or sponsors with financial donations may call the museum at 250-679-8847, or email info@chasemuseum.ca.

REID, TORY A beautiful life-1925-2012

Born to parents Rod and Ethel Gollan, Tory was one of twelve children, raised on a farm in Alliance, Alberta. After ﬁnishing school Tory joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and instructed aerobics for servicemen during the second world war. At the young age of 13 she fell in love with Ken, the man she would marry, while watching him play baseball. Ken and Tory married in Edmonton in 1946 and very soon began a family. Ken supported his family with his own construction company while Tory devoted her time to raising their four children. After a few holidays in beautiful B.C. they decided to move there. They shared a passion for golf and purchased the Salmon Arm Golf Course in 1963. Together they ran the clubhouse and all the golf events while at the same time rebuilt the golf course, changing the sand greens to grass, building an irrigation pond and system and raising their children including them in all endeavors. They sold the golf course in 1968 but continued to be avid golfers playing together until 2010. Tory won the womens club championship 13 times, her last win at age 72. The most important part of her life was her family. She was a devoted wife and mother and will always be adored by her children for her beautiful strength of character, a wonderful mixture of strong morals, intelligence, great sense of humor and steadfast loving kindness. Thank you to all of our friends and extended family for your warm thoughts and prayers. Thank you to Bertha and Kim and the wonderful staff at Lakeside Manor for your kindness and friendship while Mom and Dad lived there. A very special thank you to the amazing staff at Hillside Village for your understanding and sincere kindness while caring for Mom during her last few months. Her memory will always be cherished by her children Donna, Arlene (Daryl), Jan (Len), Ralph (Debbie), grandchildren Shaun (Jen), Tonya (Simon), Dachs (Donna), Kim (Phil), Tasha, Lenny, Colter (Vanessa), Nile (Sarah), Levin (Candice), Dawson and great grandchildren Christian, Taegan, Tarryn, Brisa, Darren, Callam, Paetyn, Adley, Haylen, and Tory’s brothers and sisters Alice, Ivae, Emmy, Roddy and Kenny. The family has chosen to celebrate Tory’s life in private and in lieu of ﬂowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer foundation.

LASOTA, DAMON STEPHEN-JOE Damon Stephen-Joe LaSota was suddenly taken from us on July 21st, 2012 at the young age of 24 years old. He leaves behind many people who loved him and in particular his sister Carly Stephens, his mumzie Laurie LaSota and his uncle Greg LaSota. Damon was born in Prince Rupert BC at 2:00 a.m. on September 21st, 1987. He entered this world a kickin’ and a screamin’ and brought tremendous joy to all that met him. He especially loved his uncle Greg (LaSota) who taught him many things and looked out for him throughout his childhood. Damon quickly grew into a strong, sensitive little daredevil who wanted to experience everything; swimming, biking, taekwondo, camping, fishing and jumping off of almost anything. He particularly loved biking. He started with BMX racing during his childhood in Kamloops and quickly moved on to mountain biking, in particular, downhill style, complete with speed and agility; the faster the better for Damon. His family moved from Kamloops to Eagle Bay BC where he built tree forts and spent tons of time on Shuswap Lake. Hours of Damon’s life were spent swimming, diving and exploring at Shannon Beach with friends and family. Damon eventually received a trampoline and perfected a homemade “trampoline bike”. He and his sister spent days jumping, climbing, twisting and shouting on that trampoline mastering almost every bike trick in the book. The outdoors was Damon’s haven. He loved to explore the forest and make trails and secret hideouts for days on end…it seemed the tranquil wilderness calmed him, but Damon would never sit for too long. He struggled in school but was very smart…always reading either a Stephen King book or some explanation as to how the Titanic was built. Damon had bigger plans than school, he quickly realized how to make money and worked long days at Demille’s Farm Market. You may remember him as the “Corn Boy” in the famous corn cob costume…promoting sales. Once he received his first paycheque he was off. He worked tirelessly beside his Grama Ursula LaSota and Grampa John DeMarni. Damon and his Grama had a special bond…they often spent time together just talking about their days or just being quiet together…there was no judgment by either one. During his high school days, Damon saw the work experience program at Salmon Arm Senior Secondary as his “OUT” of the school system. He was placed with a great contracting company in Salmon Arm, who took Damon under their wing and began to teach him the ropes… Damon never looked back. Earning money and being independent was addicting to him. Into the workforce he went, working tirelessly and spending tirelessly. Damon worked in Salmon Arm for a few years, but was always restless as if he were meant for bigger adventures. He moved on to Revelstoke to build the new ski hill, moved again on to Calgary to try out the big city which he loved, and again moving up to Grande Prairie in search of big money but eventually returned to his home and family in Salmon Arm. He had a great number of friends and made an impact on all of them. He was known as “the protector” within his close knit group. He valued his friends sometimes more than himself as they accepted him with no restrictions. Anyone who knew Damon came to understand his crazy ways but also knew he “had your back”. When Damon was around, everyone would be doubled over with laughter, he had a crazy, “way out there” humor that would light up the room. We often said he should have been a comedian. He knew how to diffuse a situation or how to bring a friend up from deep despair. He had the gift of true friendship and acceptance. Damon struggled with his own life and demons but never let that get in the way of taking care of someone else. His life was quickly changing with the arrival of his first child due in late November of 2012 when he was taken from us, but he will be watching over that child from somewhere else forever. We will never know what troubled Damon but do know from now on he will truly be at peace and at rest in his mind, jumping his BMX, diving in the water and catching those big ol’ fish in White Lake. We will miss Damon greatly but never forget his crazy ways and his awesome laugh. Every time the thunder roars and lightening strikes… remember Damon as noisy as ever, laughing, jumping, screaming, howling and still making us all smile as only Damon could!! A Celebration of Life for Damon will be held at Canoe Hall, Canoe, BC on Saturday, August 18th, from 1 – 5 p.m. This is a casual, drop in type of gathering; anyone who knew Damon or would like to share their experiences may attend… the more the merrier. We would like to send him off with lots of love and laughter. In lieu of flowers, memorial donation’s to the Salmon Arm Skate Park, c/o 444 Trans Canada Hwy, Salmon Arm, V1E 1S9.

My name is Jenna, and I need a new home. I am just under 2 years old, spayed, vaccinated, and have a bit of ‘quirky’ personality - I love being petted and would love to sleep with you, just don’t really like my tail area touched as I have been previously mistreated. Once I trust you, you will have a forever friend! I am not crazy about dogs, but could tolerate one or two other cats. I hope you call for me soon!
