Council asked to take over SLIPP

Shuswap Lake planning : Concerns focus on accountability and communication. By Barb Brouwer

market news staff

Amid concerns about accountability and communication, the Fraser Basin Council has been asked to take over administration of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP). SLIPP was launched in response to intense pressures from increased development, pollution entering lakes in the Shuswap watershed, and conflicting

demands on recreation resources. The Thompson Nicola Regional District, Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Columbia Shuswap Regional District electoral areas C, D, E and F agreed to fund a threeyear pilot project with annual allocations of $335,000. The project comes to an end March 31, 2014 and the funding partners met Jan. 9 in Salmon Arm with CSRD chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton to dis-

cuss concerns. The late Ted Bacigalupo, former CSRD chair, Electoral Area C South Shuswap director and SLIPP chair, was an active and enthusiastic champion of the process. The meeting attendees were concerned about too few meetings since his death and a lack of administrative oversight. Minutes from the meeting indicate the funding partners continue to support SLIPP because it addresses funda-

mental issues that contribute to poor water quality and environmental issues, and is the vehicle bringing many agencies together to co-ordinate jurisdictional responsibilities and activities. The minutes also report support for the technical steering committee and its work, the way SLIPP reduces duplication of service and brings attention to issues relative to Shuswap Lake by provincial and federal agencies, and reduces

bureaucracy – although attendees expressed concern about “authority issues” and “targeting” that have arisen around dock removal. Other concerns were expressed included: • the funding is being used to pay for provincial and federal responsibilities. • there has been poor public communication.

the Environment’s Fish and Wildlife Branch in Kamloops, headed up the SLIPP technical committee and worked very closely with Bacigalupo. “It was noted that Mr. Ian McGregor has undertaken both administrative and technical responsibilities for SLIPP and that this is creating some difficulties with program management and oversight,” read the Jan. 9 meeting notes. “Fraser Basin Council has offered to address these governance issues by taking over administrative duties effective immediately.” Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper says her understanding is that attendees were pleased with McGregor’s work with the technical committee and wanted to free up his time. Mike Simpson, manager for Fraser Basin’s Thompson Region, says CSRD officials

approached him prior to the Christmas break to ask if the Fraser Basin Council would take on a greater role in administering the project. “We did not have any decision-making authority over how funds were spent,” Simpson says. “We received and administered funds as per the directions of the SLIPP program manager.” Simpson has since presented CSRD with a proposal for their approval. Both McGregor and SLIPP program manager Sarah Evanetz have resigned since the Jan. 9 meeting, but Simpson would provide no other details as he says the project is “in transition.” Cooper admits to being caught off-guard by McGregor’s resignation last week. “He is technical, he has the knowledge, he’s done a lot of work and he’s really good at what he does, so the idea was to free him up to do

what he does well,” she says, noting she, and others she has spoken with, were very surprised by his departure. “Everyone thought, ‘what a great guy, what a great job.’” McGregor had not responded to a call from the Shuswap Market News at press time. The funding partners, meanwhile, agreed they will meet their promised financial commitments for 2013 and the Jan. 9 meeting notes reveal attendees supported CSRD CAO Charles Hamilton’s suggestion. “Based on the comments, discussion and general support for the program, the chief administrative officer (Charles Hamilton) recommended that the funding partners agree to contribute to the program for the final year of the pilot project and consider reviewing, reworking or discontinuing the program in 2014 and beyond at a future meeting.”

Festival builds eclectic slate One of the most intriguing aspects of Roots and Blues festivals is the eclectic menu of music. With the amazing potpourri of voices and instruments from across the planet, it is impossible not to find something to love. And this year’s slate for the festival that will run Aug. 16 to 18, promises to be the same. Joining Ben Waters, The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, Malcolm Holcombe, Shakura S’Aida and Steve Strongman is Sallie Ford and the Sound Machine. “What have these people done to music?” wails Ford on her 2011 album, Dirty Radio’s explosive opener, I Swear. She rages against sound-alike pop stars foisted on the public by mainstream media, but it’s a question worth putting to the interrogators, too. The answer: Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside as they vigorously mine a sweet spot between modern and vintage. Ford’s voice has elicited comparisons to classic jazz and blues icons – think if Tom Waits and Ella Fitzgerald shared a voice – yet it is stoked with the fire of youth and rebellion too, an instrument capable of conveying raw emotion and nu-

anced artistry in the same breath. Ford grew up in an artistic family in Asheville, NC. Her father is acclaimed puppeteer Hobey Ford and her mother is a performing musician and music teacher. Ford’s affinity for the odd and unusual eventually served as a gateway to discovering her own voice, both as a singer and composer. In her childhood, she’d been transfixed by the Beatles’ catalogue. As she matured, idiosyncratic acts such as CocoRosie, Cat Power, and the Squirrel Nut Zippers were introduced into her musical mix. “Tom Waits was a big inspiration to me,” she says, recalling how she scrutinized every aspect of Waits’ 2002 album Alice, and soon his abilities as a storyteller rivaled the Fab Four in her estimation. While Sallie mustered the courage to sing a few times at open mic nights in North Carolina, her progress was tentative until she moved to Portland, OR in 2006, where the newcomer found herself increasingly willing to step up and perform. Since 2008, Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside has been intertwining elements of swinging roots rock, country, jazz, and blues with a contempo-

The Portland quartet has steadily ascended through the ranks, earning a growing following throughout the Pacific Northwest. Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside made their national television debut on Letterman in 2011. The same year they were one of the most talked about new performers at Bonnaroo, the Newport Folk Fest, and Bumbershoot, and were championed by Jack White and The Avett Brothers.

Idle No More stokes the fire

The Idle No More movement continues to pick up steam. But is all of the drumming and chanting doing any good? A Canadian Press Harris-Decima poll done earlier this month found that only four in 10 Canadians is sympathetic to the goals of Idle No More. But the same poll found that fewer than four in 10 Canadians were familiar with the aims of the movement. To us, that’s a big disconnect and a sign that supporters aren’t piquing the average citizen’s interest with demonstrations. That doesn’t mean we don’t have plenty of work to do to resolve systemic problems in the relationship between First Nations and government. Getting key players on both sides to sit down and talk about those issues is a good start. Assembly of First Nations National Chief Shawn Atleo, who met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Jan. 11, says his organization will pressure the feds to continue working toward improving that relationship. Atleo and Harper met a year ago in what the prime minister’s office called “a historic meeting.” No doubt, work has since been done to clarify goals around governance, access to education, community self-sufficiency and other areas. Idle No More emerged, nonetheless, which makes one question whether Harper and company were paying lip service to First Nations last January. Despite the seeming disconnect with the majority of Canadians, the grassroots protest movement has restoked the fire in First Nations and is slowly getting non-aboriginals to pay more attention to grassroots aboriginal issues. But progress won’t come through noisy demonstrations. It’ll be achieved through First Nations leaders working together with government using a focused, unified, businesslike approach. – Victoria News

OpiniOn

Snowshoeing enriches winter life The other day one of my co-workers was all excited about going snowshoeing on the weekend with some of her friends. She told us she has been into snowshoeing for the past three years. “It’s great exercise,” she said. She then asked me if I had ever tried snowshoeing. I’m not altogether sure, but I think she was being sarcastic. I’m not really into winter, winter sports, trekking through the snow, cold weather or anything else to do with winter. To put it simply, I’m not a winter person. I also spend way too much time being, well, for lack of a better word, sedentary. Be that as it may, in recent years, snowshoeing has become the fastest growing winter activity/sport there is in Canada. While most people who snowshoe nowadays do so simply for the pleasure of walking along in the snow, there are plenty of people who trek for miles in the backcountry, while still others, the more competitive types, even go so far as to compete in organized snowshoe races. Snowshoeing is easy to

The GreaT OuTdOOrS James Murray learn, relatively inexpensive, poses little risk of injury and can help enrich a person’s health – not only does it help maintain and/or improve one’s cardiovascular fitness, it is also a great way to burn calories and lose weight. Maybe that was why my co-worker asked if I had ever been on snowshoes. I guess she thought snowshoeing might do me some good. The cost for a pair of snowshoes can vary from around $100 to well over $300. Many retailers offer packages that consist of snowshoes, poles and a snowshoe bag. These are generally pretty good, especially for the neophyte snowshoer.

Before purchasing a pair of snowshoes, however, it is a good idea to try them out first – if at all possible. Many retailers will let their customers rent snowshoes and then deduct the rental price from the purchase price. Another option is to look for a decent pair of used snowshoes. Make very sure to inspect them thoroughly though – check the frames for damage (including chips), the bindings for stress and the flotation material for holes or rips. More often than not, people are selling outdated technology. When it comes to size, snowshoes are usually measured in inches (25 inches, 30 inches and 36 inches) and the right length depends upon one’s weigh. I guess I’d need the longer ones. Like I said, snowshoeing is a highly aerobic activity that produces a fair amount of body heat, depending of course, on the amount of exertion. The trick is to match your clothing to your level of expected exertion, the weather, the duration of your trip and your metabolism.

Try to put together the lightest snowshoe, clothing and boot combination as possible. If you plan on buying new boots specifically for snowshoeing, look for ones with waterproof uppers. Nylon and/or synthetic uppers dry faster than leather. Purchase the lightest weight footwear that will suit your needs. You can always treat a pair of non-waterproof boots with sprays or waxes to make them more waterresistant. If cost becomes a factor in being able to afford what is intended to be an enjoyable sport, remember, an old pair of comfortable winter boots, that are already broken in, are your best best. While on the subject of being old and comfortable, I should perhaps mention that my co-worker is not only older than I am by a couple of years, but she also seems pretty comfortable with snowshoeing as a form of exercise. Or, as she put it, “It’s a great way to get outside, enjoy the fresh air and take in all the beauty that surrounds us here in the Shuswap.”

VIEW POINT Training needed, not burning Regarding the article, “Council ponders demolition by fire,” in the Jan. 25, 2013 editon of the Shuswap Market News. It seems to me that the main arguments for this controlled burn is the need for stimulating training for our fire department personnel and more importantly to save the taxpayers of the Village of Chase the $5,000 that would be required to train

them in Kamloops. A concerned neighbour of the proposed Hillside burn and a long-time opponent to Chase’s open burning policy have been in contact with the Kamloops Fire Department. They were told that the cost for training all of Chase’s fire personnel would be $1,800 for one day and $3,200 for two days using Kamloops’ equipment and supplies.

Brent Chamberlain, Chase’s fire chief mentioned that the $5,000 to train a few personnel would not cover the transportation, meals, per diems, lost wages, stipends etc. Based on this newer information $5,000 should come close to covering the training and all the other cost involved for all personnel. Perhaps the fire chief or our elected officials

would like to clarify this discrepancy. Additionally, I want you to know that, as a taxpayer, I am in favour of spending the necessary money to send our fire fighters to Kamloops for training, as it would not affect their health and we would not need to breathe the particulate from this controlled burn and the many more planned. I would also like my elected officials to

fort to involve as many newbies as possible in the coming carnage. When they were first elected, Conservative supporters told me that their party was different from all the others, and that was why they were supporting them. Now, every time one of theirs is caught in the act, they tell me that all politicians are alike,

and that is why they are gong to keep supporting the Conservatives. Unfortunately for Canada, the Conservatives are worse. In their heart of hearts, they believe that government should not try to influence the marketplace, but far more important than their principles is getting re-elected. They are hypocrites,

CAN CHIROPRACTIC HELP ME?

We are often asked: “What’s the best way of finding out whether a Dr. of Chiropractic can help my problem?” We believe the answer can be found in a complete consultation and examination.

Sorrento will remain in riding Falkland, Chase and Sorrento are staying right where they are. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission has reversed thrusters and decided the three communities will remain in the Okanagan-Shuswap riding instead of being lumped into a new

constituency with Kelowna, Summerland, Merritt, Logan Lake and Princeton. “I’m glad they listened to the people,” said René Talbot, Columbia-Shuswap Regional District director. The commission had stated there was a need to change boundaries to reflect population trends, but Falkland residents stated their economic, social and political links are

with Vernon, Armstrong and Salmon Arm. Another concern was a new riding would make it challenging for Falkland residents to meet with their elected representative if they were based in Kelowna. Colin Mayes, OkanaganShuswap MP, says the issues raised by Falkland residents were relevant. “They associate with Ver-

non and the rest of the riding,” he said. “I definitely didn’t want to see them go.” By keeping Falkland, Chase and Sorrento in the riding, though, OkanaganShuswap will have 121,062 residents, 15 per cent over the electoral quota of 104,763. While residents may be under-represented based on figures, Mayes says, “We can handle that.”

Recovery for rural B.C.?

Coalition: Report calls for designated cabinet position. By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Rural B.C. has been in decline economically for the past 50 years. Can the once-properous, well-populated rural areas recover? Yes, according to a report prepared by the Southern Interior, Cariboo-Chilcotin and Omineca beetle action coalitions. But it will take cooperation between the coalitions, First Nations and non-First Nations people, economic development organizations, other stakeholders and all levels of government – not just to create a long-term strategy for economic and social development, but to fund it properly with an investment rather than subsidy approach. The three regional beetle action coalitions released a discussion paper last Friday as part of their Rural B.C. Project The Pathway to Prosperity in British Columbia Runs Through its Rural Places is the final paper in the Rural B.C. project, and makes recommendations to assist with rural economic development throughout the province. The report points out that many rural B.C. areas, particularly those dependent on forestry, went from having the

fastest growing populations between 1961 to 1985 to the slowest since then. “In these places, average individual incomes, once among the highest have slipped to below the provincial average,” says the report, that notes in the past 50 years economic development has been oriented to the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and the Okanagan. “The limited growth and decline of population in some rural regions is not merely the

based on shared principles, establishment of an ongoing revenue stream to fund the plan and deliver services, and the designation of a cabinet minister with responsibility for rural issues. Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition chair and CSRD Electoral Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin says the idea for the project came from Reversing the Tides, a regional economic development conference held in Prince George four

“...The problems we are dealing with are everybody’s problems. We’re all in it together.” -Rhona Martin, CSRD director

outcome of changes in the practices and conditions of resource industries,” notes the report. “Nor can it be attributed to people moving because they prefer urban places. Rather, these trends reflect the lack of opportunity.” A Long-Term Strategy for Rural Development sets out 20 recommendations, including the formation of a leadership group to partner with the government to produce a long-term work plan

years ago and attended by people from all over the world. “It fell off the rails a bit, everybody gets busy,” Martin says, pointing out the difficulties of people from all over the province trying to work on a project. “We persevered, came up with recommendations and what we’d like to see happen in a provincial strategy.” While Martin maintains good work is being accomplished, much remains to be

done, and many communities lack the necessary infrastructure, financial resources or expertise. “And we can’t have something that’s developed only in Victoria; we need government’s help to create a strategy that reflects the needs of rural B.C. And with that strategy, we need an implementation program,” she says. “This is for all of B.C., First Nations and non-First Nations. The problems we are dealing with are everybody’s problems. We’re all in it together.” Martin says a lot of time has gone into preparing a really good document and while Premier Christy Clark has been “championing” their efforts, she’s hopeful other provincial politicians will understand and accommodate the need to move the project forward.

The Shuswap’s close-knit farmers ShuSwap paSSion Jim Cooperman As was explained in a recent column, the city of Salmon Arm originated as the Salmon River Valley farming centre and Silver Creek was then and still is the heart of this valley. Silver Creek began as a close-knit community and it remains so now, as the locals continue to join together for events throughout the year at their community hall, that was built sometime in 1927, and at their local community park. The creek was named by Caroline Johnston, a mother of two early settlers, after the silver diggings that were likely found some years prior to the beginning of settlement. Malcolm Graham, spent most of his childhood years in Silver Creek, where his grandfather Wilbur Ames homesteaded. He remembers stories about how the silver was dug out of the clay banks below the fork of the creek and hauled in sacks on the backs of mules to the CPR station in Salmon Arm.

He also hiked up the trail when he was young and found some traces of silver that looked like wire. I recently had the opportunity to interview a few Silver Creek community stalwarts, including two granddaughters of one of the original pioneers, Alexander MacLean. Verna Bell, who was born in 1936, grew up on the MacLean family homestead before moving to the Cariboo. Back home now and living on the remaining few acres of the original 160 acres, Verna remembers well how the focus then was their Seventh Day Adventist church and school and the social life surrounding this religious community. Her grandparents travelled north from Montana in 1901 in search of land to farm after reading an ad in the local paper about B.C. homesteading opportunities. Joining them was the Haines family, who also settled in Silver Creek. Verna remembers how neighbours often helped each other then, whether by lending horses for plowing, assisting with building projects or bringing a buzz saw over to cut the winter’s firewood. The first task that faced the early pioneers was to clear their homesteads, as the valley was originally

heavily forested. When sawmills were set up, the river was used to transport the logs in the spring, which scoured the spawning beds and damaged the young fry. As a result of this damage and the slide at Hell’s Gate, the salmon disappeared from the river named after them and the settlers were no longer able to use the masses of dead fish to fertilize their fields. Both Graham and Verna remember how the Salmon River was much larger and wider in the early days, due in part to higher snowpacks and far less pumping for irrigation

“he remembers stories about how the silver was dug out of the clay banks below the fork of the creek and hauled in sacks on the backs of mules to the CpR...” during the summer and fall. When the pioneers arrived, much of the Silver Creek area was part of a large beaver meadow. A large portion of the road to Salmon Arm was built using logs as a corduroy road and it often flooded out in the spring. The year of the big flood was 1948, when much of the valley was under water.

Vegetable production in the valley was likely greatest during World War Two, when the government purchased the crops for the war effort. Many of these vegetables were first sent to a dehydrating plant and then were shipped overseas. Verna remembers one farm that employed Chinese farmworkers and the many rows of luscious tomatoes that they grew. At one time, there were three communities in the Salmon Valley, each with their own community hall. Closest to town was the Mt Ida Hall, built in 1914, which was recently moved by Rob Fensom to his Harmonious Homestead farm and renovated. At the south end of the valley, nearer to Falkland is the decrepit, old Henden School that was later used as hall and then sold and moved to where it sits now. Silver Creek now has two halls, with the newer Seniors Centre Hall built in 1978 just behind the Community Centre. Both halls continue to be used frequently. One of the most popular events is the monthly pancake breakfast at the Seniors Hall. Jamie Felhauer, President of the Silver Creek Community Association, reports that the community hall

is regularly used for dances, martial arts classes, 4-H club meetings and birthday parties. The community park, now managed by the CSRD, is also well used, especially by horse lovers, as it includes a riding ring. The annual Summer Stomp motorcycle rally was held at this park for 22 years until the event became too large an event. Other popular events at the park include Halloween fireworks, an Easter egg hunt and the annual wish horse ride that raises money for the Children’s Wish Foundation.

It’s another coverup. Integrity Roofing owner Josh Bickle felt so good after providing a Ranchero resident with a new roof, free of charge, he wants to do it again. Bickle had given the 73-year-old resident a roofing quote following a 2011 home show. When he didn’t hear anything from the resident, he drove by his home several times. At his wife Joanna’s insistence, Josh approached the homeowner, who advised him his only income was from his old age pension and he simply couldn’t afford the $4,300 cost of a new roof. With support from Rona, roofing supplier GAF and Tybro Con-

struction, Josh and his team installed the new roof one day last April. “We got a lot of positive feedback from the community and it felt good to give back,” he says. “We want people to nominate a deserving person or family who has a roof that’s in rough shape and needs replacing, and they just don’t have the ability to do anything about it.” Josh and Joanna will read through the nominations, physically check out the nominated roofs, which cannot be too big, and select someone who will receive a new one. Josh says the job will include material, labour, removal of the old roof, clean-up and disposal. “Just like a regular job but free, but we definitely need to take a look first,” he says,

noting he might approach other businesses to see if they want to get involved. “We will go with the worst roof and the most deserving person. We will be as fair as possible.” People are welcome to begin sending nominations to info@ integrity roofing.ca, but Josh cautions he won’t be able to check roofs until the snow has gone. The job will not be completed until spring arrives and the weather improves, likely in April. “When people do something for you, you want to do something for them,” he says of his belief in the payit-forward philosophy. “If everybody could get on-board it would be really good for the community and we want to contribute to getting everyone onboard.”

B.C.’s LieutenantGovernor, Judith Guichon, visited area residents in the Village of Chase on Monday, Jan. 28. Following a tour with Chase Mayor Ron Anderson, the lieutenantgovernor attended a reception at the Chase Community Hall, where she spoke briefly to a small audience before mingling and posing for photographs. Outlining her responsibilities as the newest representative of the Crown in B.C., Guichon received a few laughs from those gathered when describing how to give royal assent to laws – a subtle nod of the head. Throughout her

speech she stressed the importance of small communities and their relationships to large urban centres. She also gave an overview of the priorities she intends to focus on. “My main goal is to travel to every single corner of this province and meet as many people as I can,” she said. “Particularly those involved in resource industries such as agriculture, mining and forestry.” A long-time rancher – her granddaughter is now the sixth generation of her family working a 700-head cattle operation in the Nicola Valley – environmental stewardship has long been a part of her life. “It’s very important to me that our agricul-

ture, our logging, our mining and everything we do is sustainable,” she said. Other priorities include working with various groups on leadership, music and the arts and literacy. Neskonlith Chief Judy Wilson, Adams Lake Chief Nelson Leon, Adams Lake Coun. Henry Anthony, and Neskonlith Coun. Randy Sam also welcomed the lieutenantgovernor, congratulated her on her appointment and spoke to those present. Wilson, on behalf of the Secwepemc Nation, presented the lieutenant-governor with a hand-painted, birchbark basket made by elder Harold Thomas. “I was impressed with what you had to

say about your tenure and we look forward to building a strong, positive relationship for all of us,” said Wilson, adding the basket serves as a reminder of the caretakers of the land. Leon said he hoped the lieutenant-governor would use her new position to rekindle the relationship between aboriginal people and Canada. “Take a look at building and recognizing the Crown relationship with the aboriginal people of B.C.,” said Leon. “I look forward to seeing if you take up that cause, that initiative. “We’re all here to stay, we’re working toward the common good of our communities, our children and our elders.”

Guichon to focus on resource industries By Marvin Beatty

Chase Contacts

Bruce D. Perry M.D., Ph.D. February 14th & 15th, 2013 Adams Lake Conference Centre (6349 Chief Jules Dr., Chase B.C.)

“Child Trauma & Attachment”

Dr. Bruce Perry is a clinician and researcher in children's mental health and the neurosciences, and an internationally recognized authority on children in crisis. “The development of a young child is profoundly influenced by experience. Experiences – good and bad - shape the organization of the brain. The ultimate effect is to impact emotional, social, cognitive and physiological functioning. Insights into this process come from understanding brain development. Both trauma and neglect, the absence of essential developmental experiences required to express a fundamental potential of a child, are pervasive problems in our culture. Various forms of neglect are possible and include splinter neglect, total global neglect and emotional or relational neglect. Chaos, threat and abnormal patterns of emotional, social, cognitive and physical interactions with young children lead to an array of brain-related problems. This presentation will review clinical work and research that can help us better understand developmental trauma, neglect and the relational problems that arise from neglect and threat.

Council looks to strengthen ties with neighbours The Village of Chase Council is putting forth a greater effort to strengthen the bond with its neighbouring communities. The village has been discussing the benefits of working more close-

ly with neighbouring communities. Last fall, council was invited to meet with the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band, to discuss issues of mutual concern, and to learn more about their

community and what services they provide to their members. Council discussed reciprocating that meeting and has invited the Little Shuswap Indian Band chief and council to meet in

Chase on Feb. 4. “It is a way to begin to get to know each other, what is important to each community, and to find ways to work together,” said Joni Heinrich, the village’s chief adminis-

trative officer. Council intends to invite the other bands in the area to meetings in Chase to facilitate getting to know one another and looking for ways to work together.

Chase RCMP are seeking the help of the public regarding a hit and run motor vehicle collision that occurred at approximately 11 a.m. on Jan. 11. The hit and run occurred on the Squilax Anglemont Road in the ‘S’ curves of the Lee Creek area. A suspect vehicle pulled out and passed another vehicle, making contact with the driver’s side, causing more than $1,000 in damage. The suspect vehicle did not stop at the time of the collision and continued west towards the Highway 1 interchange.

The vehicle is described as a mid 2000 pickup truck with a custom paint job. The front of the truck is red, the rear portion is black and has a red flame pattern painted on the black hood. The driver of the damaged vehicle was able to obtain a cell phone photo of the suspect vehicle. The Chase RCMP Detachment continues to investigate this collision and asks anyone with knowledge of the person or vehicle responsible to contact Const. Lora Ford at 250-6793221.

Heat Awards Banquet on Feb. 10 By Scott Koch contributor

The Chase Heat Junior Hockey Club played twice last weekend against hungry foes. On Friday night the 25th at Art Holding Memorial Arena, the local side met up with the Princeton Posse. Outshot 38 to 29, the Heat lost this contest 5 to 3. The big story in this one was local hockey product Michael

Keyes potting two in the loss, the second one unassisted. The other Chase goal went to Drew Wilde from Williams Lake. Saturday night saw the Heat in Kamloops against the dastardly Storm. This one was all Kamloops as they walked away with an easy 5 to 0 victory. Chase was outshot 49 to 31. This one was rough and nasty and the boys travelled home

licking their wounds. Next up, the Heat travel to Armstrong to take on the Knights on Friday, Feb. 1, making their way back to Chase the following night, Saturday, Feb. 2, to host the snarling Revelstoke Grizzlies at 7 p.m. The Heat Awards Banquet is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 10 at 5 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at home games or by calling 778220-6955.

Profile of the week

Robert Babakaiff of Arro Wood Heat Services has been in business for 5 years. A 45-year resident of Salmon Arm, he believes in buying his products locally. After being laid off from Coe/Newnes, he saw there was a need for a reliable wood heat technician. He became certified in the WETT program – which is a Canadian recognized association, allowing him to be able to inspect, install and maintain wood burning stoves and fireplaces. His services include chimney sweeping, estimates and advice on purchasing and installation of wood burning stoves, such as size needed for the square footage, and the best stove to meet your needs. Robert’s motto “Burning Clean = More Green” not only refers to the money saved when keeping your stove or fireplace maintained, it also refers to the environment, as the new stoves burn cleaner and more efficiently. Repeat customers are spreading the word of his fair pricing and thorough job. For all your wood heat needs, call Robert today for an estimate.

EDITH CAVELL (BUCHANAN) REID March 8, 1916 - December 22, 2012 The family of Edith Reid, with both fondest memories and sadness, wish to announce her passing on December 22, 2012, at the age of 96 years, in Mission, BC. Remembering her life… Parents David and Jane Buchanan welcomed yet another daughter, Edith Cavell, into their family on March 8, 1916. Born in their home, on Peardonville Road, Abbotsford, BC, Edith was sixth of ten children. Her siblings included from oldest to youngest: Edna, Marion, Bill, Jim, Anabelle, Rose, Maxie, Norma and Desmond. The first five children were born in Manitoba, with the remaining five, being added to the family in BC. Edith met the love of her life at a community dance, held at the Straiton Hall. She and Pat Reid were married March 23, 1938. Moving to Mud Bay in 1938, their son David was born. With an opportunity to move to Sumas Prairie in 1941, four years later, a daughter, Dixie, was welcomed into their growing family. In 1948 Pat and Edith packed up once again amd moved to a small farm on Nicomen Island, where they lived until 1961. The next move would see Gloamin Farms relocated to 240 acres of farmland in Salmon Arm. For 40 years a purebred sheep operation and purebred herd of Jersey cattle; kept the family very busy. Grandchildren were born, working alongside parents and grandparents. Edith was a hard worker, raising her own children, nurturing grandchildren, tending vegetable gardens, berry patches, mowing her lawns (she had her own John Deere!), milking cows, feeding calves and hundreds of bottle lambs. Still choring into her seventies, Edith enjoyed good health, appreciated little things, and was always thrifty, as she cared for those she loved. Her house always welcomed visitors. Porridge was a staple every morning, 365 days a year. Everyone dropping in unannounced was always offered a bowl at breakfast times. We all looked forward to her “one of a kind” applesauce and raspberry jam in the summertime, and her jello trifle at New Year’s. Edith took countless meals to the fields during cropping time, and could be counted upon to prepare huge lunches for hired hands and shearing crews. Edith appreciated her neighbours and enjoyed spending time with her closest sister, Norma. Edith got her driver’s license at 83 years of age! She took great care of her little car, driving to church or for groceries with Norma. Good times together! At the age of 59 years, Edith came to know the Lord. Always rising early, often before everyone else, this quiet time was spent reading her bible and praying for her family. Before the sun was up, she was on her way outside… it was difficult to beat her to the barn! As a granddaughter, I’ll always remember my Nanny’s tender care and love for the animals.
