The Ranchero Deep Creek First Responders group is in danger of shutting down service next month. Unit chief, instructor and training officer Celia Harris and her husband Wayne, who are now the only members of the unit which serves an area from Springbend Road to the top of Larch Hills, north to the industrial park and south to the end of Deep Creek Road. “It’s a huge area, and this is obviously why we need more people,” says Harris, who notes the unit, founded in 1994, was one of the first in the province and had enough members to respond quickly. “Now, if something happens up at Larch Hills, it would take me half an hour, so I might as well not go – the ambulance would get there first.” First responders are dispatched at the same time as ambulances and members are trained to assess, initiate treatment and prepare the patient for rapid expedition to hospital. “We have advanced training, we do CPR, carry a defibrillator and can perform lifesaving skills…,” says Harris. “All the things that a person can get into mischief over, especially in a rural area where ambulance waits
average 30 minutes.” In her area, that includes a lot of DIY (do-it-yourself) accidents – falls from roofs and chest pain from overworking, for example. Road accidents account for about 50 per cent of the calls. First responders are provided with free and highly respected training through the Justice Institute of B.C. but do no heavy work. “Safety comes first, so if a situation is beyond your capabilities, you’re not expected to perform – and there’s no pressure,” she says. Harris suggests the volunteer position is wellsuited to people who are retired or semi-retired, empty nesters and particularly to couples, so they don’t have to go on a call alone. Harris would like to see first responders located throughout the RancheroDeep Creek area so they can actually be first on the scene. Not only is Harris bemoaning a lack of volunteers, she is extremely frustrated about funding cuts imposed by the provincial government. “Now units have to pay for manuals, training and examinations, which we did not have to do before,” she says, noting the cuts occurred in 2011. “It means not only is our focus on See New on page 3

OpiniOn Keep private matters where they belong What difference has technology and the advancement of the Internet been in the day-to-day existence of our lives? The answer to that question has been played out in an embarrassing context in the U.S. of late, where people sharing their private thoughts on email has shown a loss of anonymity. And the complication then becomes how legal authorities are supposed to deal with electronic communication. When is it investigating a crime and when is to stepping over the bounds of what is supposed to be private communication? The scandal south of the border involves the director of the CIA, David Petraeus. He was a highly decorated general in the U.S. Army, responsible for supposedly cleaning up the Iraq mess and stabilizing the war in Afghanistan. When he was not doing that, we learned this week he used email. So Mr. Petraeus, after leaving the army to take over the CIA, found himself in an extra-marital affair with a woman, Paula Broadwell, who was the co-author of an autobiographic book titled All Inn. The relationship went on for months until he apparently broke it off last summer. But then his paramour took issue apparently with the relationship between Petraeus and another woman, Jill Kelley. Broadwell appears to have felt threatened in some way by Kelley’s relationship with Petraeus, and began sending her emails telling her to back off. Kelley took her complaint about the emails to an FBI agent, and from there the whole situation unravelled into the mess that has played out like a TV soap opera, each day producing a new revelation. At the heart of it all is this idea in our collective heads that sending nasty emails, posting your thoughts on Facebook or being a twit on Twitter is like being anonymous—as compared, say, to making comments that are published in print—when it is anything but. As we continue to embrace the virtues of the Internet in our society, our private thoughts are increasingly no longer private. Why? Because we can’t seem to help ourselves from dishing about ourselves or others. Where generations ago, people would talk privately about the issues or about other people over a coffee, over a beer in the pub or when gathering with friends, today those thoughts are being expressed freely on the World Wide Web under the notion of anonymity. No such thing. It’s about time we figured out that some private thoughts are best kept where they belong—in our heads. - Kelowna Capital News

Finding the humour in life Travel writer-editor Matt Jackson readily admits that he is driven by wanderlust. Back in 1997 Jackson quit his job, walked to the side of the Trans-Canada Highway near Lake Louise, Alberta and began a four-year trip of a lifetime. Over the course of those four years he thumbed rides, spoke to people and, as he puts it, learned about the generosity of Canadians. The end result was his first book entitled The Canada Chronicles. He has since cowritten and/or edited six other travel anthologies. Moose On The Loose is Jackson’s newest book. Written and edited similarly to his other books, Moose On The Loose is a collection of 26 humorous stories, not without a generous helping of self-deprecation that will make you chuckle, laugh out loud and cringe, especially when you find yourself identifying with the situations and people who openly admit to their own shortcomings, as well as, moments of brilliance, while relating both their adventures and misadventures.
The greaT ouTdoors James Murray In his forward, Jackson writes that travel brings with it extraordinary moments – from the whimsical to the hilarious, to the downright absurd. He also points out that if there is one truth to be gleaned from the stories in the book, it is that while outlandish and unpredictable things can happen on the road less travelled, there is no such thing as a bad story. Join Sylvia Shawcross and her family on a cross-Canada road trip with a giant moose head strapped to the roof of the family’s van. Read about the chicanery of cyclist Brent Curry as he attempts to outwit a con artist posing as a devout church reverend. Help save a drown-
ing monkey and then discover why having a monkey as a sailboat crew member has its drawbacks. Sit on the hot seat with B. A. Markus after she inadvertently sets fire to a Gulf Islands home she agreed to house sit. In Moose On The Loose, more often than not, what can go wrong does go wrong. Travelling with Jackson and his 26 cohorts is not for the timid or faint-ofheart, but, as Jackson likes to point out, “sometimes you need to see how bad things can get before you see how good they really are.” Jackson is a pretty interesting fellow. He is a graduate of Wilfred Laurier University, who was lured away from the corporate world by the thrill of adventure journalism. When not editing his humorous travel books, he is busy as a magazine writer, photojournalist and guest speaker. Jackson will be at Bookingham Palace Bookstore this coming Friday, Nov. 22, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to chat with people and sign copies of his books. I know
I’ll be there. While talking to him on the phone the other day, Jackson said that “as an editor of humorous travel anthologies, you’d think that I’d read just about every situation possible, but people’s stories never cease to surprise me – they still manage to catch me off-guard. That’s the best part about editing these kinds of books.” Jackson’s other titles include Mugged By A Moose, I Sold My Gold Tooth For Gas Money, Never Trust A Smiling Bear, A Beaver Is Eating My Canoe and A Bear Stole My Fishing Boat. I must say that I enjoyed reading Moose On The Loose, not to mention all of Jackson’s other books. I have certainly found myself laughing out loud plenty of times. I even cringed a couple of times. I think I may have even chortled and snickered a few times. I also felt inspired to try and find the humour in life. After all, isn’t that what gets us through many of life’s dilemmas.

Ask Your Denturist
mail bag
QUESTION: Why do my dentures keep cracking and breaking? ANSWER: Over time your mouth and the denture will slowly wear. This wearing will cause the denture to bite in a different position from when they were originally fitted. It is the force of biting in this new, worn-in position that causes the denture to twist and eventually to break.
A question of priorities at White Lake Does the CSRD have more money than they know what to do with? I could not believe what I was seeing. A bridge to nowhere is
being built at White Lake near the boat launch. I resent my tax dollars going to such a lame-brained idea. Why not put that
money into paving the hall’s parking lot? Since some super intelligent person had the idea to move the mailboxes to the hall park-
ing lot, at a lot of inconvenience to many that reside in the area, we have to endure walking or driving over many potholes and
mud to get our mail. What next – a bridge across the lake to get to the other side?
If your denture is cracked or broken, it can usually be fixed the same day. At the same time, the Denturist can assess the underlying problem and provide options to correct it.

Government supports Canadians in times of need
from the hiLL Colin Mayes Government should never do for citizens what they can do for themselves. But in saying this, your government cares about the well-being of its citizens and that is why this government has brought forward a number of compassionate legislation policies to help Canadians in the most challenging times of their lives. Among compassionate measures in place include Employment Insurance (EI) compas-
sionate care benefits. These benefits are paid to people who have to be away from work temporarily to provide care or support to a family member who is gravely ill and who has a significant risk of death within six months. We believe that during such times you should not have to choose between keeping your job and caring for your family. We haven’t stopped there. Among the recent compassionate legislation which has been put forward includes Bill C-44, the “Helping Families in Need Act.” This act implements changes which provide EI benefits to parents of critically ill or injured children, and it provides income support to parents of murdered or
SilverBacks Hockey
missing children. I believe that this is a very common-sense piece of legislation, and had to wonder why something like this had not been previously implemented. I recently made mention of this during committee to the Hon. Diane Findlay, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, to which she commented that; “[i]n fact, we’ve been trying to bring various components of this bill forward for about five or six years now…This bill is one of the benefits of having a stable majority government. We’re finally able to put it through.” We are establishing an “orphan drug strategy” which supports research and provides resources that will help improve the health of
Canadians living with a rare disease. And through the Enabling Accessibility Fund, we’re removing barriers for people living with disabilities by improving access to facilities, activities and services enabling all Canadians to participate more fully in society. This may include renovations, construction and retrofitting of buildings, modifications of vehicles for community use or enhancements to make information and communication technologies more accessible. I am aware of the sentiment that it is easy to be generous with other people’s money, so to be clear, it is with your EI premiums and your tax dollars that these benefits are paid.
Marla Beblow
But after listening to parents who have had their child abducted or murdered, or individuals with close family relatives who are dying of cancer or other lifethreatening illnesses, I am certain that you would agree that implementing these new benefits on your behalf is the right thing to do.

Area OCP on table in December Final passage of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s Area C South Shuswap Official Community Plan has been put off again. At the October board meeting, directors deferred consideration of third reading of the OCP to the November board meeting to allow newly elected area director Paul Demenok the opportunity to participate in the completion of the plan. Planner Marcin Pachcinski advised directors the defer-
“The idea behind an OCP is it’s a picture in time, with a long-range planning horizon.” Gerald Christie
ral also provided for some changes to the OCP to address concerns that were raised at a late-August public hearing. Gerald Christie, manager of Development Services, says there were changes
to be made following a legal review of the document and it took time to address concerns regarding the Aug. 28 public hearing. Staff will ask the board to give the OCP second reading as
amended at the December board meeting and to give their approval to schedule a public meeting and public hearing on the same day in mid January “The intent is to bring it back to the board for consideration of third reading in February, after which it will be sent to Victoria for ministerial approval,” says Christie. “After it has their approval it will go back to the board for fourth and final reading.”
Bras provide support for ice wall If you’re an ice climber, the next step you take may be courtesy of a Maidenform, Cleo, Curvy Kate, Warner or perhaps a Wonder Bra. Located in the Rockies, Hostelling International Nordegg is building an ice climbing wall using bras as the frame-
work for the ice to form on. The wall is being built to promote awareness of breast cancer and will require many, many bras. And they’re looking for yours. Women are invited to bring any used bra they’re ready to part with to the Salmon Arm
Observer and make sure they leave their name as well. Donors’ names will be inscribed on a plaque at the wall. If you want to visit the hostel this winter, either to climb the wall or just have a look at it, contact the hostel through its web page at www.hihostels.

Christie says he believes that after six years and significant public consultation, as well as the work of the OCP advisory committee, many of the issues have been addressed in the document. “The idea behind an OCP is it’s a picture in time, with a longrange planning horizon,” says Christie. “If things come up over time that residents or the board feel need to be changed in the document, then there is a process to change the OCP.”

Chemical closes school By Barb Brouwer
market news staff
Salmon Arm Fire Department’s rescue team was called to action Tuesday and some students got the day off. A call reporting a strong chemical smell at the Seventh Day Adventist Church and school at 3270 60th Ave. NE was received shortly after 9 a.m. Members from Hall 2 responded to the call, accompanied by a tender from the nearby Canoe Hall #1 and the fire department’s rescue team. The rescue team is made up of specially trained members from all departments. Fire Chief Brad Shirley says the team was called because there was no indication what was producing the chemical smell. “In this case we weren’t sure what they were, so we dressed in

row, two members of Salmon Arm Fire Department’s rescue team, while Hall 2 Capt. Chris Lowe looks on. our hazardous material clothing.” Team members also took a gas monitor into the building, one that measures oxygen levels, explosives and carbon monoxide. Firefighters discovered a spill in a small upper floor storage room where oxygen readings were low.
“Further investigation with staff on site and looking at some of the chemicals in a box, it was determined that it was a four-litre jug of paint thinner,” says Shirley, noting it had soaked substantially into a one-metre section of carpet. And while the thinner did not react with
other chemicals, Shirley says the carpet underlay had a lot of glue in it, which could react adversely. BC Ambulance personnel checked out one teacher as a precaution. The rescue team is also dispatched for confined space rescue, ice rescue and elevator rescue.

This is a free service offered by the paper for the holiday season, which allows charitable and community groups the opportunity to raise awareness about their organization, its benefits and, most importantly, provide a way for the community at large to step up during the season of Christmas giving, and support local groups. Many citizens would like to help others, but may be unsure about where to make a contribution. The Guide to Giving is designed to offer suggestions for donations or volunteer contributions. If your group would like to make a submission, it must be delivered by Wednesday, Nov. 28. The guide will be printed in the Observer in early December. Submissions must be a maximum of 200 words.

Doctor shortage causes concern By Richard Rolke bLack Press
Shuswap MLA George Abbott insists that the provincial government is doing everything it can to ease the doctor shortage in communities like Enderby. While Enderby previously had five physicians, that has decreased to two permanent doctors over nine months and there will only be one in January. “It’s a challenge not just in Enderby but in many small towns in B.C.,” said Abbott, a former health minister. “Some steps have been taken to deal with the issue.” Among them, he says, is doubling the intake of medical students at the University of B.C. in Vancouver in 2006 and creating seats
at UBC’s Okanagan campus. However, he admits there’s no quick fix. “It takes several years to educate physicians that will benefit from the expanded medical program.” The provincial government has also encouraged foreign physicians to establish practices throughout B.C. “The government is doing quite a bit about this issue,” said Abbott. However, Abbott says one of the challenges is convincing doctors to move to rural areas or small communities. “Portions of the Lower Mainland have plenty of physicians. It’s more difficult to persuade them to set up shop in Enderby, Chase
or Armstrong.” To make up for the shortfall, interim doctors are meeting the needs of patients in Enderby. The Interior Health Authority is currently recruiting for physicians and there is the possibility of one or
% off
two new doctors for Enderby in the summer. Abbott says he will continue to monitor the situation. “I am hoping physicians will be recruited and the situation will become stable,” he said.

Salmon Arm’s history of cooperation and community
As more settlers moved into the valley and hillsides, the village of Salmon Arm grew rapidly to service the surrounding farming community. expense of shipping the produce to markets induced settlers to switch to dairy and general farming. Many of the early settlers emigrated from England with the expectation of growing fruit and soon after the first apple trees were planted in 1891, the bench lands became dotted with orchards. There was one characteristic more than any other that encouraged the steady settlement growth in those early days, and that was the pioneers’ commitment
As more settlers moved into the valley and hillsides, the village of Salmon Arm grew rapidly to service the surrounding farming community. By 1904, with news that nearby Enderby had become a city, a com-
mittee formed to incorporate Salmon Arm. In May 1905, the Municipality of Salmon Arm was proclaimed. Over the succeeding 107 years, dedication to community was continuous in Salmon Arm and the surround-
ing region, with such successful and diverse groups as the Salmar Community Association, the Roots and Blues Festival, the Shuswap Community Foundation and the Shuswap Trail Alliance.

The first regions of the Shuswap to be settled were those with the best agricultural potential and the best access. The extensive natural grasslands adjacent to the fur brigade trail between Fort Kamloops and the Okanagan prompted the beginning of the Shuswap’s first permanent settlement of Grand Prairie, now Westwold, in 1864. Soon after, Whitfield Chase purchased his acreage from former fur trader John Todd and in 1867 Alexander Fortune preempted land just south of where Enderby is today. Although settlement occurred far later for what is now the Shuswap’s largest community, Salmon Arm, it progressed rapidly after the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed in 1886. It is difficult to comprehend why anyone would choose to settle in or near Salmon Arm in those early days, as the area was densely treed with massive cedar and cottonwood trees and laden with mosquitoes in the summers. Nonetheless,
to community and cooperation. The settlers worked together to build local roads, set up schools and churches and develop community associations. Two agricultural associations were formed in 1896 and the first fall fair was held the following year. One of the first organizations formed was a chapter of the temperance movement in 1893, followed by a chapter of the Orange Lodge in 1894, which built a hall in town the following year. And the Women’s Institute that formed in 1909 was the first one in the B.C. interior. The pioneer economy also depended on continued co-operative efforts. In 1907, the fruit growers organized the Salmon Arm Farmers’ Exchange, which five years later shipped out more than 20,000 boxes of apples and 2,000 boxes of plums and pears. Similarly, the dairy farmers formed a creamery association in 1915 that soon after constructed its own processing facility. It also took co-operation to survive the calamities that struck in 1894. Massive flooding inundated half the valley and covered the railway tracks. Then in July, a huge fire that began in a smouldering slash pile at the base of Mt. Ida sped through the valley destroying the sawmill and many farms.

1892, which was later moved closer to town and expanded into a permanent mill that by 1909 was the community’s largest employer. One of the unfortunate impacts from the pioneer forest industry was the annual spring log drive down the Salmon River that scoured the salmon spawning beds. Despite the early success with mixed vegetable and berry farming, including tomatoes and strawberries, problems soon developed. Inconsistent weather, competition from south of the border and the

once a few hardy souls began to homestead the rich valley bottomland adjacent to the Salmon River, many more soon arrived. To facilitate settlement, the government surveyed the Salmon Valley in 1887, with the first settler arriving the following year. By 1890, with nearly 200 settlers there was a school, a general store, and a post office, and the first bridge was built across the Salmon River. There is no doubt clearing land in those early days was brutally difficult without the benefit of machinery or stumping powder. Many of the larger stumps remained in the fields for years. Yet the early yields were reportedly huge and within a few years the farmers were shipping produce via the CPR. One of the advantages that the Shuswap had over the drier Okanagan and Thompson regions was the greater annual rainfall, which meant that irrigation was not necessary. Key to the success of the early settlement was the establishment of the local sawmills that provided both employment and some cash for the logs from land clearing. The first mill was set up at the Tappen Siding by the Genelle Brothers in 1887, which was moved three miles east to Kault in 1894. A portable mill was set up in the Salmon Valley in

Alpine adventurer shares high mountain tales By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
Greg Hill, a high altitude climber, skier and adventurer from Revelstoke was on Mt. Manaslu on Sept. 23, when a massive avalanche roared down Mt. Manaslu in northern Nepal, killing 11 people and injuring dozens more. He will share his amazing footage of the mountain and the aftermath of the avalanche Tuesday, Nov. 27 at the Salmar Classic. “My video-intensive presentation takes us through the expedition, from the cultural side of Nepal, to the day of the avalanche,” he says. “Since that tragic day, I have had lots of thoughts and a better understanding of the decisions and errors made on that day. And I firmly believe that through talks I can help people understand what happened and perhaps help prevent another such catastrophe.”
phoTo coNTRibuTEd
■ High-altitude climber, skier and photographer
Greg Hill hosts a multi-media presentation on his top-of-the-world adventures on Tuesday evening at the Salmar Classic Theatre. Hill has written a blog about the tragedy and events leading up to it. He and his group arrived on the mountain Sept. 6 and watched base camp grow with more than 300 climbers and 200 sherpas – “more climbers than this place has ever seen in a season,” he notes. “It seemed ripe for a catastrophe of sorts.” Over the next 10 days, Hill experienced amaz-
ing high-altitude skiing. Those on the mountain also weathered day after day of rain and snow. “When it finally cleared, it was obvious most of the mountain had gone through many avalanche cycles,” writes Hill in his blog. Climbing higher on Sept. 22, Hill saw a lineup of climbers on fixed ropes, something he describes as a traffic jam moving slowly through the seracs (a
block or column of ice). “When I first saw the traditional Camp 2 placement, I knew there was no way I would camp there,” he writes. “I would never be able to sleep knowing how much avalanche terrain was above me.” Hill’s group searched for another site, choosing an ice shelf, a small, elevated bit of terrain away from the main flow. “At 4:45 a.m., the cold temperatures created some brittle seracs, which broke off from the glacier at 7,400 metres and landed on the wind- slabbed snow, giving it enough of a trigger to crack approximately 300 metres across the slope.” Hill describes how the avalanche swept through the camp catching everyone sleeping in their tents. “The blast of wind from the avalanche sent our tents flapping and soon enough we could hear people yelling for
Carriers Wanted If you are interested in making some CASH, please call Valerie at the
each other,” he says. Hill describes the aftermath of the avalanche – the frantic efforts to rescue the living, the astounding variety of injuries. “We spent five hours helping people, mourning with people as they watched their friends pass away beside them...,” he writes. “At one point, I sat and openly cried for those that had died.” While the Manaslu tragedy was a sober reminder of the risks of adventuring, Hill will continue to explore the world and his own abilities. On Tuesday, he will also present Two Million Reasons, a film of his attempt to climb and ski over two million vertical feet in under 365 days. This remarkable journey took place in some of the wildest places on Earth and earned Hill many accolades – including being among the top 25 fittest guys
on the planet. “This movie takes the viewer to the top of Canada’s five highest mountains as well as those in Chile and Argentina,” says Hill. “First descents, wild footage and exciting days – the challenges were physical, emotional and mental as I
battled towards an almost unattainable goal.” Hill’s motto is a Dr. Seuss nugget – “You’re off to great places, today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So get on your way.” Join him at the Salmar Classic Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 at the door.

“Organic Matter Composting Facility means a facility that imports organic matter and produces more than 20 m³ of compost product per year to be sold and/or utilized off-site or off-farm.” Bylaw No. 2547 proposes adding Section 2.2.18 to regulate Organic Matter Composting Facilities as follows: .1 All organic matter composting facilities must be designed and constructed such that the facility: • is on asphalt or concrete, or other similar impermeable surface, which prevents release of leachate into the environment; • is graded to prevent pooling of water where organic matter or compost is received, processed or stored; • is designed to prevent run-off water from entering the areas where organic matter or compost is received, processed or stored; • includes covered storage for organic matter, to prevent exposure to precipitation; • includes an enclosed building with mechanical aeration, designed to ensure that the compost is maintained in an aerobic condition, and with a negative pressure differential between the inside and outside of the building in which the composting process occurs; and a filter system designed by a professional whose area of specialty includes the design of these systems; and • is designed to keep the impact on the environment, and exposure and disturbance to humans, including dust, pollution, noise and odour, to a minimum. .2 Blending, grinding and making or mixing of raw materials must take place on an impermeable surface. .3 Any property used for a composting facility shall have a minimum parcel area of 30 ha. .4 The area used for primary composting and curing shall not exceed 500 m² per parcel. .5 Buildings and structures for a composting facility use shall be sited not less than: • 75.0 m from all parcel lines • 100.0 m from the natural boundary of a watercourse • 75.0 m from Rural Residential areas • 100.0 m from all wells and sources of domestic water Bylaw No. 2547 also proposes to add “organic matter composting facility” as a permitted use in the Section 2.13 the Agricultural Processing Zone. Bylaw No. 2547 also proposes to replace the existing Section 3.2.8 Violation with the following: Every person who: • Contravenes this bylaw; or • Causes or permits any act or thing to be done in contravention of this bylaw; or

Landfill gas goes green
Salmon Arm’s landfill is now more than just a place to store waste, it will now capture and upgrade biogas derived from regional waste and deliver it into the local natural gas distribution system as a renewable source of energy, the first of its kind in British Columbia. The commissioning of the landfill biogas plant comes after three months of on-site commissioning and years of planning. “This project benefits our customers by not only expanding our availability of renewable natural gas but ensuring that waste is put to good use,” said Doug Stout, vice president of external relations and energy efficiency. The project began in 2011 after FortisBC received approval from the British Columbia Utilities Commission. The landfill is owned and operated by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD), and support was pro-
vided for the project through grants from the BC Bioenergy Network and the Province of BC’s Innovative Clean Energy Fund (ICE Fund). “This is the first project in British Columbia to recover raw biogas from a landfill and upgrade it to pipeline quality renewable natural gas,” says Shuswap MLA George Abbott. “Through ICE Fund investment in projects like this, it is possible to protect the environment while meeting the energy needs of British Columbians.” The biogas, which is given off naturally through the decaying process of waste, is captured, purified and injected into Fortis BC’s natural gas system for use by customers. The system is expected to initially save about 1,250 tonnes of carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere per year, the equivalent of taking 250 cars off

Natural gas produced from the Salmon Arm landfill has the potential to heat almost 300 homes per year. “We are committed to being a carbon neutral jurisdiction, and this project helps us achieve that,” said David Raven, CSRD board chair. “We’ve created a model that can not only be used across B.C. but across Canada as well.” FortisBC’s biogas plant will scrub out the impurities in the gas to make it usable by cus-
tomers. Once upgraded, there is no difference between renewable natural gas from the landfill and natural gas that is delivered to people’s homes. Residents and businesses can reduce their carbon footprint and support renewable energy by having a portion of their natural gas consumption dedicated as renewable.

The Silvertips were up 1-0 after the second period, but the Lakers rang the equalizer off the crossbar late in the third. However, the Silvertips got the insurance marker off the transition. This was the first time the Lakers were held off the scoreboard this season.

King’s swimming team excels It has been a very successful season for the King’s Christian School Swim Team. Fourteen swimmers attended zone championships in late October with six swimmers advancing to the provincials held this past weekend at Watermania in Richmond. Among the highlights were Brayden Gilliam’s first-place finish in 50-metre butterfly, sixth place in 100-m freestyle and Abbie Nesdoly’s eighth-place finish in 50-m backstroke. All races were combined age groups from Grade 8 to 12. Matthew Nesdoly, Grade 8, also swam in 50-m backstroke and 100IM, providing competition for his much older competitors. In his events, he was the fastest of all Grade 8 swimmers at this provincial meet. Fellow teammates Benjamin Novakowski and Gaelyn Gilliam joined Brayden and

Matthew on both the medley and free relay, improving their provincial standing by 10 places with best times. They placed 12th and 14th. They were the youngest team in the competition. The team was led by fellow swimmer and coach, Natajsha Nesdoly, who provided friendship, encouragement and guidance for races. Congratulations to the entire team.
time with the Vernon Vipers, Prince George Spruce Kings and Trail Smoke Eaters prior to joining Salmon Arm and now he heads closer to his hometown of Kimberley to rejoin the Smokies after a brief two-game stint in 20092010. SilverBack’s GM Troy Mick says it wasn’t an easy decision to make – arguably the toughest decision he has ever made. “You won’t find anyone involved in this organization, at any capacity, who doesn’t have the utmost respect for Bennett. His attitude and demeanor are what great leaders are made of and while he’s been of invaluable service to our younger players, we feel we’re in position to become an even younger team and give Bennett a chance to excel closer to home and continue his NCAA dreams.”

SilverBacks trade captain Hambrook The Salmon Arm SilverBacks had a tough announcement to make earlier this week, as team captain Bennett Hambrook was traded to the Trail Smoke Eaters in exchange for future considerations. Hambrook, a 20-year-old native of Kimberley, has been with the SilverBacks since the start of the 2011-2012 season when he endeared himself to teammates and fans with his headstrong leadership and fearless shot-blocking. While Hambrook hasn’t recorded any goals or assists in the 20 games he’s played in this season, the 6-ft, 190-lb defender has been a key component to the success of many SilverBack penalty kills and was among the core leadership group assembled within a budding dressing room. Hambrook has spent

Grindrod family looks for answers after baby born in Vernon hotel By Richard Rolke

daughter Isabella, who was born at the Village Green Hotel after the couple could not access a bed at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. and we regret that the delivery was not what the family expected,” said Yolanda Short, manager of women’s and children’s health services. “We are committed to improving service delivery whenever we can.” According to Short, clinicians consider the data available to them and the urgency of a case when making decisions surrounding labour. “Determining the exact time of birth is difficult and clinicians do their best to determine
when a woman is in active labour. Active labour is when we admit to the labour, delivery, recovery and postpartum room,” she said. “If a woman is not in active labour, they will be able to labour where they are more comfortable away from the hospital setting.” Di Venre and Isabella are now at home with dad Rick Adair and there will be quite the story to tell. The heroes will be grandma and auntie. “I’m very proud of them,” said Di Venre.

Answers are being demanded after a firsttime mom from Grindrod gave birth at a Vernon hotel instead of the hospital. Tiny Isabella was born in a room at the Village Green Hotel Nov. 16 after Myriah Di Venre, 17, could not access a bed at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “We want answers from the hospital,” said Jennifer Myers, Di Venre’s mom. Di Venre was eight days overdue and the Grindrod family travelled to VJH Nov. 15 so she could be induced at 9 a.m. They then waited for the process to proceed while visiting friends. At 5:30 p.m., they returned to the hospital but she was barely dilated, so they booked a hotel room so they had somewhere to wait. As the night progressed, contractions began and the family headed back to VJH at 3:30 a.m. Nov. 16. However, she still wasn’t admitted because she wasn’t apparently dilated enough. “She was wheelchaired out of the hospital because she couldn’t walk but she was still
sent out,” said aunt Iola Rawnsley. Arriving at the hotel just after 4:30 a.m., the contractions escalated and while Di Venre was in the washroom, active labour began. “I was really shaking and I was yelling, saying, ‘Something is wrong,’” said Di Venre. They managed to carry her to a bed. “I was frantic because this is my daughter and I was scared,” said Myers. A call was made to 911 and paramedics were dispatched. The operator provided delivery instructions to Myers and Rawnsley because Isabella wasn’t willing to wait. “I tied the umbilical cord off with a shoe lace,” said Myers. Despite the circumstances, Isabella was healthy. “We want answers. We don’t want this to happen again to someone else,” said Myers. Rawnsley believes the situation could have turned out differently. “If the cord had been wrapped around her or a foot had come out first, it could have been worse,” she said. VJH is currently reviewing protocols. “We are pleased mom and baby are doing well

Is Gaza another pre-election war? Global VIews Gwynne Dyer
Let’s be fair — there does seem to be some sort of pattern here, but it is not very consistent. Five times in Israel since 1980, a rightwing government has called an election without launching a complementary military operation. The right lost two of those elections outright (1992, 1999), more or less tied two others (1984, 1988) and won only one of them decisively (2006). On the other hand, critics of Israel point out, three times since 1980, right-wing Israeli governments have combined an election campaign with a major military operation against some Arab or Palestinian target. This combination, it has been argued, yields decisive electoral success for the right. Menachem Begin’s government won the 1981 election three weeks after carrying out a dramatic attack on the Osirak research nuclear reactor that France had sold to Iraq. In the view of most outside observers, the reactor, which was closely supervised both by the French and by the International Atomic Energy Agency, was not suited to the largescale production of enriched uranium and posed no threat to Israel, but the attack was popular in Israel. Ehud Olmert’s coalition launched the Cast Lead onslaught against the Gaza Strip in December 2008 and January 2009. The threeweek campaign of massive bombardments and some ground incursions left 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis dead. The election was held a month later and Binyamin Netan-
yahu emerged as the leader of a new rightwing coalition. Son here we go again, perhaps? Netanyahu is still the prime minister and the next elections are due in January. What better way to ensure success than to go and bash the Palestinians again? A week later, with 86 Palestinians and three Israelis dead, his reelection is assured as Israelis overwhelmingly support the current military operation. That’s the case that is made against Israel. Does it hold water? Well, actually, it doesn’t. Begin’s attack on the Osirak reactor in 1981 may well have been an electoral stunt, although he was clearly paranoid about the possibility of a nuclear weapon in Arab hands. But, Ehud Olmert, though undoubtedly a man of the right, was not leading a rightwing government in 2008. He was the leader of a new centrist party, Kadima, that had been formed by defectors from both the right-wing Likud Party and left-wing Labour. Moreover, Olmert had already resigned in mid-2008 over a corruption scandal and was merely acting as interim prime minister by the time the Cast Lead operation was launched in December of that year. If it was an electoral ploy despite all that, it didn’t work. It was the right that actually won the election in early 2009 and formed a government led by the Likud Party’s Netanyahu. It is equally hard to believe Netanyahu is seeking electoral gain by attacking Gaza this month. Every opinion poll in Israel for months past has been saying that he is going to win the January election hands down. For him, all the risk of Operation Pillar of Defence is on the downside — a major loss of Israeli lives in the campaign, while unlikely, could
only work against him. So, why is this happening now? Historians traditionally split into two camps: Those who see purpose and planning and plots behind every event and those who think most events are just the random interaction of conflicting strategies, imperfect information and human frailty. This latter approach is known in the historical trade as the “cockup theory of history” and it is very attractive as an explanation for the current situation. Netanyahu, cruising home to an easy electoral victory in January, had absolutely no need for a little war with the Palestinians. Indeed, his strategy of continuously shouting “wolf” about Iran and its alleged nuclear weapons program has succeeded in distracting international attention from the Palestinians, leaving him free to expand Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank unhindered. Similarly, the Hamas leaders who rule Gaza had no interest in triggering a military conflict with Israel. They had every reason to believe the sweeping political changes in the Arab world were strengthening their position internationally and they had no need to remind Arabs of their plight. So, how did this idiocy happen? Another cock-up, of course. Hamas has been trying to maintain calm in Gaza and extend a ceasefire agreement with Israel, but it has little control over various radical jihadi groups who build popular support by making utterly futile rocket attacks on Israel. Even if they kill a few Israelis, so what? How does that serve the cause? Hamas faces the permanent political danger of being outflanked by more extremist rivals, so it cannot crack down too
hard on the jihadis. Israel, fed up with their pinprick attacks, was looking for somebody to punish and, since it couldn’t locate all the jihadi leaders, it decided to assassinate Ahmed al-Jabari, the head of the military wing of Hamas — even though that was bound to end the ceasefire. So, Hamas then fired a few of its own rockets into Israel and Israel retaliated massively and we were off to the
races once again. A complete cock-up and a pointless waste of lives. But, since the miniwar doesn’t really serve the purposes of any major player, it will probably be shut down again fairly soon. -Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose columns appear in publications in 45 countries.

■ A sport utility vehicle was struck by a semi truck on Nov. 18 on the Trans-Canada Highway, about two kilometres west of
Chase. No one suffered major injuries in the crash.

Victims escape injury
Three people were very lucky to walk away from an accident involving a semi and an SUV Sunday night. Chase RCMP, fire and rescue crews were on scene after a call came in about 7 p.m. Nov. 18, regarding an accident on the TransCanada Highway two kilometres west of Chase. Const. Brandon Brett reports the accident occurred when the driver of a Jeep Cherokee slammed on their brakes and
rcmp report swerved in an attempt to avoid a deer. A semi truck driver who had been following close behind was then forced to swerve to avoid hitting the car. However, due to oncoming traffic, the truck driver had nowhere to go, say police. The semi truck sideswiped the SUV
before coming to a stop a short distance away. The driver of the SUV was extricated from the vehicle, but neither she, nor her passenger suffered major injuries. The semi truck sustained minor damage, with no serious injuries to its driver. The accident was deemed no fault, but the semi driver was ticketed for driving too close to the vehicle ahead. Highway traffic ex-
perienced only a short delay while vehicles were removed.
Gun a toy
Police were called out Sunday morning regarding reports of a man wielding a gun in public. Police arrived on scene and quickly found the individual in question. Officers report the individual appeared to suffer from a mental disability and had simply purchased a toy gun at a local store.
Vancouver company to build new wharf Chase has moved one step closer to having a brand new wharf at Memorial Park. The village council announced they have chosen one of the six different proposals that were submitted to them. These submissions included a cost estimate as well as a new wharf design, says Joni Heinrich, chief administrative officer.
Heavy Metal Marine Ltd., a company out of Vancouver, was chosen to complete the project. The village would not disclose the estimated cost of the project at this time, with Heinrich explaining they are still in the middle of negotiations. A letter was sent to Adam’s Lake Mill asking for a donation of lumber, she said.
If this is received, the village will be able to knock some money off the total estimated cost of the wharf. The names of the other companies who submitted proposals were not released at this time, but Heinrich did say that four of the six companies were local, situated between Kamloops and Sicamous. Heinrich says the
...because we live here.
cost was not the only factor in choosing which company to go with; the design was also an important deciding point. The village received a grant from the federal government earlier this year to help with the project. The chosen design of the new wharf will be released as soon as negotiations are finalized.

Chase residents bid adieu to a long-standing community feature, and begin to plan for the future. Those heading down Pine Street lately may have noticed a large empty lot where the local outdoor skating rink once stood. The rink, which has been the staple for many childhood memories in the area, was torn down earlier this
month. The decision was made last year based on a combination of climate and liability, said Joni Heinrich, chief administrative officer, describing how the area remains iceless for most of the year. The facility wasn’t able to be used the way it once was and the village thought the property could serve a better purpose.
Heinrich also explains how the rink’s foundation, as well as the walls, had become severely worn down over the years and were beginning to become a liability for the village. While many Chase residents have voiced their displeasure at the loss of their beloved rink, they can now share ideas on what purpose the site might next serve.
Heinrich says nothing has been determined yet but a number of possibilities are being explored. Some of these include a skate park, an idea that was considered a few years back but a location could not be found, and a sprinkler park. “Nothing is final yet,” says Heinrich. “We are just looking at the possibilities.
Welcome sign to greet hockey fans A warm welcome from the Village of Chase will soon be greeting hockey players and fans alike. Council recently approved a sign to be displayed in the Art Holding Memorial Arena to welcome out-of-towners to the arena. While the arena currently has no such
signage, council, who was presented with the idea earlier this summer, originally turned it down. “[The councillors] were not against the idea of having a sign,” says Joni Heinrich, chief administrative officer. They were against the annual fee that was
proposed along with it, she explains. Councillors explained that since residents essentially paid for the building itself, they did not think they should be charged an annual fee to display a sign. The idea was considered and brought back to council recentåPHOTOGRAPHERå

Green Kids program shoots for the stars By Cavelle Layes
MARKET NEWS STAff
Haldane Elementary school has taken “being green’ to a national level as they have become the first school in Canada to achieve the Earth 7 status. Nineteen years after Mrs. Melnychuk began the Green Kids program at the Chase elementary school, Haldane has achieved something no other school in Canada has been able to do. Melnychuk has led the students and staff of Haldane Elementary to complete more than 7,000 environmentally friendly projects over the years, an accomplishment she is quite proud of. These projects include everything from cleaning garbage off their school grounds, to recycling in all the classrooms, to more fun and challenging tasks. Last November the school held an upcycling challenge to see how students could take a recyclable product and repurpose it into something new.
phoTo coNTRibuTEd
■ Mrs. Melnychuk and Haldane’s newest Green Kids Club members, Je-
thro Morris and Kennedy Erbin, check out the school’s new composter. The students also host a funky sweater competition annually in February and have recently taken their green awareness projects to an international level with such efforts as their fortune cookies for Zambia program. Melnychuk is proud of what the school has been able to accomplish in such a short time, explaining that it was just in 2010 that she began the push for Earth 5 status. “We put the push on so that we would be the top school in Canada for the Olympics; we accomplished that around the start of the year,”
explains Melnychuck. “When the Olympics began we were the greenest school in Canada and we have been continuing on since then.” The Green Kids Club won’t be slowing down just yet as they have already set their sights on Earth status 8 and have begun working their way through their next 1,000 projects. Melnychuk, however, may not be around to celebrate this accomplishment as she will be retiring after this year. “I extend a challenge to all the students and teachers to keep the program alive and run-
Chase Heat show up with grit, determination on weekend By Scott Koch
MARKET NEWS STAff
What a difference a week makes when it comes to a Junior Hockey Club. Last week, a lack of commitment or a competitive edge. This week, the Heat did an about turn, cranked up the volume and readied for some feisty battles. On Friday, Nov. 16 the local lads prepared for an entertaining battle with the red hot Castlegar Rebels. After 60 minutes the visitors claimed the win, but just barely, and the fans went home happy with the hard work of the Heat. Dom Hodges started things 5:02 in when he potted a power play marker assisted by Aiden Silzer-Hooker and Taylor Jordan. The Rebels then scored three in a
row. Chase finished off scoring in the third with a power-play goal by Drew Wilde assisted by Hodges and Jordan. Jacob “Jake” Mattes faced 37 shots. Jordan and Wilde were named first and second stars. On Saturday the team travelled to the winter wonderland of the Revelstoke Grizzlies. Three periods, followed by two overtime periods, proved nothing as the two competitors fought to a 4 – 4 tie. Mattes faced 49 shots overall and was named the first star. Chase got two goals in the second period, Jordan from Shelby “Koz” Kostyshen and Kurtis “Johnny” Johnson, and Karsten Banack from Chad Wilde and McKenzie “Mac” Guardiero. The Heat did all the scoring in the third,
starting with the “Wilde Boys” Chad getting an even-strength marker from his brother Drew, and Ryan Beach with the fourth goal coming from “The Dominator” Hodges assisted by Silzer-Hooker. The team has exceeded its season total from 2011-12. After 24 games there are six wins, 15 losses, two ties and one overtime loss. They are nine points back of the Grizzlies who hold down the last spot in the division. The players are fully committed to making the playoffs and are playing with grit and determination. Next up is the Kamloops Storm, Tuesday, Nov. 20 and then they hit the road for two games against the Spokane Braves and the Grand Forks Border Bruins.
ning,” she says. It took the elemen-
tary school teacher 19 years to build the Green Kids Club to what it is today, and she hopes that someone will step forward to carry it on. Melynchuk also reminds students that anyone can become a Green Kid as long as they attend five meetings. After each meeting the child will take a letter which teaches them something different about being green, such as the basics of recycling. This, says Melnychuk, also helps
to educate the parents as well. To honour their many efforts in reducing their environmental footprint, the school district donated solar panels to the elementary school last year. “We are excited to see how much money they have saved us since,” she says, adding that they should help save at least $1,000. Another exciting addition to the school’s green efforts is their large barrel compos-
ter outside the school, that will allow a larger composting program throughout the school. Melnychuk explains that they had tried other methods in the past, including earth worms, but found flies to be an issue. She believes the new barrel will solve all the problems. The compost, she says, might later be used to help fertilize the new flower bed the parent advisory council has put in, in front of the school.

So many precious trees (and lives) are lost during big storms, tornadoes, flooding and fires that ravage the earth every year. Thousands of trees in New York City’s Central Park and all along the eastern seaboard have been ripped out of the ground, trunks broken in half and their limbs snapped off from the snows and winds. The loss is unimaginable and in some cases irreplaceable. In the introduction of the beautiful book The Meaning of Trees – Botany, History, Healing and Lore, the au-
leaves provide most of the nutrients you’ll need to have healthy soil and rich mulches. Layer leaves into your compost bin with wood chips, grass clippings (find piles in vacant lots or remember to store some for next year) needles, rotten apples, Halloween
pumpkins, kitchen compost, etc. and just see what you get for next years gardening season – beautiful, black, rich, wonderful soil loaded with worms and microbes! Make sure there is sufficient moisture between the layers and cover it up so that nutrients are not lost from rains and snow and keep a handy pile of mowed or shredded leaves too for your mulches. So let’s take a moment to honour and appreciate our beautiful, precious trees that grace our streets, parks, gardens, public spaces and yards. I can’t imagine what our world – and our gardens – would be without them? I sure hug ‘em, because I love ‘em.

Look up, look up, at any tree! There is so much for eyes to see: Twigs, catkins, blossoms; and the blue Of sky, most lovely, peeping through Between the leaves, some large, some small, Some green, some gold before their fall; Fruits you can pick; fruits out of reach; And little birds with twittering speech; And, if you’re quick enough, maybe A laughing fairy in the tree! -Song of the Tree Fairies by Cicely Mary Barker

thor says: “Trees and humankind have always had a symbiotic relationship. Throughout the centuries, trees have offered us shelter from the cold and the heat. They have provided us with a multitude of nutritious fruits, leaves, flowers and roots for food and medicine. They have given us wood with which to make our tools, weapons and toys, not to mention timber for houses, fences, boats and bridges. But perhaps most significant of all, trees have provided fuel for fire, which, once it was tamed hundreds of thousands of years ago, became the engine of civilization. Trees are our strongest allies. The entire spectrum of human existence is reflected in tree lore through the ages: from birth, death and rebirth to the age-old struggle between good and evil, and the quest for beauty, truth and enlightenment. Our ancestors recognized that there is a vital balance in life: you take and you give. So they celebrated the forces of nature by offering them gifts, songs, prayers and blessings to revitalize the natural world – a world of which they felt themselves to be an intimate part. Many cultures saw (and still see) everything in creation as imbued with spirit, which means that all living things are regarded as sacred.” Every year our trees drop their leaves and needles to replenish the

MANDEEP MANDY DHALIWAL-SUMRA Mandeep Mandy Dhaliwal-Sumra, 29, of Langley (formerly from Salmon Arm), passed away peacefully in the arms of her husband on November 4, 2012.  Born December 4, 1982 in Kamloops. She graduated from Salmon Arm Secondary in 2000 and completed her BBA at Kamloops Thompson Rivers University in 2005. Mandy married Davinder from New Westminster on September 4, 2010. Mandy was a devoted wife, loving daughter and youngest sibling. Her exuberant personality and zest for life  left all who met her with indelible memories. She worked alongside her father and brother to build the successful City Furniture store in Salmon Arm. She showed incredible strength, courage and dignity whilst battling with Guillain Barre Syndrome for the last 12 months and recovered from paralysis of the lower body. Her approach to life is succinctly expressed by the following words of Khalil Gibran: Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Mandy is survived by her husband Davinder Sumra  and parents Gordy and Nancy Dhaliwal of Salmon Arm and siblings Rav Khrod, Sandip Khrod, Prab Dhaliwal, and Sunny Dhaliwal.

RICHARD (DICK) STEWART McDIARMID Dearly loved husband of Sue, and “Father Dearest� to Rick (Carla), Zerena, Stewart (Jen), and Jess, Richard spent his life in BC from his birth in Kelowna on September 6, 1944, to his passing on October 25, 2012, in the Bulkley Valley. He grew up in Salmon Arm, B.C., and his long career with the Forest Service took him across the province, including the Queen Charlotte Islands, the Bulkley Valley, Horsefly and Hazelton. Richard spent most of his time outdoors, hunting, fishing, building roads, establishing plantations and fighting forest fires. In recent years, Richard spent winters on his trap line near the family farm in Quick. With bootlaces flapping and a roll of flagging tape hanging out of a pocket, Richard covered thousands of miles of the province’s most remote regions. He had a deep knowledge of BC’s wilderness and great respect for it, which he passed on to many colleagues, family members and friends. Richard also travelled widely across Canada and in Europe and Africa and spent many hours reading about and debating world affairs and politics. At ease whether determining road layouts or reciting poetry, Richard told good stories, wry jokes and enjoyed working on community projects, helping out neighbours and visiting with friends near and far. Richard is sorely missed by his sister Wendy Banta of Smithers, brothers Ian and Greg (Terry) of Salmon Arm, grandchildren Gavin, Caysen, Linden and Abbigael, and nieces, nephews and many friends. Donations in Richard’s memory can be made to the Round Lake Community Association (care of Treasurer Mary Hall, 11687 Round Lake Rd., Telkwa BC, V0J 2X2) or Northern Health Home and Community Care at the Bulkley Valley District Hospital, Smithers. His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world: “This was a man!� William Shakespeare

In 1970 Harry accepted the position of Coast Guard District Manager, based in Hay River, N.W.T., administering all Coast Guard regulations and operations in all of North West Canada, west of the Hudson’s Bay. Harry retired in 1988 and moved to Salmon Arm where he met and married Bonnie Kubitza and lived happily for the rest of his life. By his own request there is no visitation, and no funeral. Cremation with the arrangements in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm. Email condolences may be sent to Harry’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com GEORGE AUBREY BEAVERIDGE Born on October 01, 1936 in Vancouver, BC - Died November 11, 2012 at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital surrounded by his loving family.
