Fire, wind and foolishness kept Columbia Shuswap Regional District Fire Services busy Tuesday, Sept. 3. The Shuswap Fire Department was called out at 4 p.m. to what was initially reported as a commercial structure fire but was instead a fire in the residence at a large Tappen dairy farm. Fire Services co-ordinator Kenn Mount says the Shuswap Fire Department was first to respond and then requested additional manpower from the Tappen-Sunnybrae Fire Department. “There were active fire conditions in the kitchen of the residence,” says Mount. “The crews were able to suppress it but there was extension into the attic and into a utility room in the basement.” Mount says 50 per cent of the home was damaged by the fire. “There are compromised roof joists and floors joists and the kitchen was severely damaged as well as an office,” he says. “And there was water and smoke damage throughout.” Mount says response by the volunteer firefighters was a good mutual aid effort, with nine members of the Tappen-Sunnybrae Firehall and 13 from the Shuswap Fire Department. Firefighters were on-scene until 10:30 p.m. Wednesday morning, lead investigator Art Stoll, Scotch Creek-Lee Creek fire chief, returned to the farm, where he cofirmed that no dials on the stove were in the on position. Upon examining a wall vent for the stove, Stoll See Fire on page 2

n Smoke pours out of the roof of a fire in a residence at a Tappen-area dairy farm. Investigators suspect a lightning strike may have caused the blaze.
Fire near Sicamous contained
Continued from front discovered it appeared the fire had burned from the inside out. “With the intensity of the heat and the damage, he concluded it could have been the result of lightning,” says Mount. “There was confirmed lightning in the area at the time. We’re not 100 per cent sure, but it looks to be pointing in that direction.” While firefighters were fighting the fire at the Tappen dairy farm, the White Lake Fire Department was dispatched to a brush fire on White Lake Road. “Someone was burning in non-compliance – an oversized bonfire,” says Mount, noting a burning ban remains in place for all fires except campfires a half-metre by a half-metre in size. Forest protection officers were advised of the incident. “White Lake resources were being utilized on a nuisance-fire burning complaint, when a neighbouring fire department had asked for mutual aid,” he said, pointing out the White
Lake Fire Department was next on the list for a mutual aid request if more help was needed on the dairy farm. “It puts us in a different situation.” Salmon Arm Zone fire protection officer Larry Osachoff confirms an investigation is underway. “It’s unfortunate. If people are planning fall burning, they should call first and find out what the regulations are,” he says, noting that the open-burning ban remains in place at least until Oct. 1 and that date is very much dependent on the weather over the next few weeks. “We’ll start looking at that about a week before.” On the wildfire front, a series of small but extremely intense storms ignited a few spot fires, including one on a ridge above Sicamous. One Rapattack crew was sent to the scene by truck around 5 p.m. Tuesday and action on the fire was completed on Wednesday. “Some pretty significant storm cells rocked through here starting around 3 p.m., and then they were back to back
until dark,” he says. “Then we did a lot of chasing – there was one confirmed in Anstey Arm, two in Seymour Arm and one fire that’s directly up the slope from Canoe Forest Products mill.” With rain on the weather menu for the next few days, Osachoff expects the zone will be out of the firefighting business for a bit. While more thunderstorm activity was expected Wednesday afternoon, Osachoff says cooler temperatures and lots of moisture were expected to quell the wildfire risks. The weather also kept Columbia Shuswap Regional District Fire Services busy. Strong winds associated with an intense storm that tracked from Ranchero through Canoe and Sunnybrae and into the North Shuswap caused problems with hydro wires. The Ranchero Fire Department was called out at 5:48 p.m. after a tree downed hydro wires. The Anglemont Fire Department was dispatched when fallen trees downed wires at 6:29 p.m.

Sights of the Scotch Creek sockeye return While concern continues about the state of the Adams River sockeye run, the sockeye that return to Scotch Creek have dramatically exceeded expectations. Fisheries officials believed the run would amount to about 1,000 fish – or 1,800 at the most. As of Saturday, Aug. 31, 18,000 sockeye had come home to spawn. Little Shuswap Indian Band fisheries co-ordinator Aaron Narcisse oversees operation of the fish fence on the creek. He says the band is grateful the run that begins in early August is so un-

expectedly successful, considering the higher temperatures in the Fraser River. Les Jantz, chief of the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), BC Interior area, says the Scotch Creek run is indeed good news, particularly since the breed year in 2009 had 1,539 for the entire year. As for the Adams River run, their story won’t be completed until November or December. Jantz says some of the Adams River sockeye have changed their habits over the past few years, choosing to enter the Fra-
ser River from the Pacific early – something that increases the risk of mortality as the salmon begin to deteriorate and are more open to parasites when they enter freshwater. Jantz says a number of sockeye were holding in the Gulf of Georgia and Johnstone Strait and the cooler weather was expected to make their long journey up the Fraser River easier. Estimations of the late run Fraser River sockeye were increased last week from 450,000 to 500,000 salmon, but that was for all Fraser River stocks.

It’s back to school for drivers too
Following all the summer sun and fun, it can be difficult to settle in to the back-to-school routine. Rushing to get the kids out the door and yourself to work is a major issue among parents. So in an effort to get everyone where they’re going, hopefully somewhat on time, many forget to slow down around town. It’s easy enough to do, since school zones haven’t been in effect all summer. So some of the routes you are accustomed to travelling 50 km/h on are now 30. School zones are now in effect Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Along with the school zones, the big yellow school buses rolled back out onto the roads for another year. RCMP remind motorists that the buses are now running their regular routes, which means frequent stops to pick up and drop off students. They are also reminding motorists it is illegal to pass a school bus when the vehicle’s red lights are flashing. Passing the bus if the red lights are flashing is a ticketable offence. Students who are walking to classes are reminded to use the sidewalks, cross the streets when it is safe to do so, and use pedestrian lights when available. If everyone exercises caution, the roadways will be safer for drivers and student pedestrians alike. “We just want people to be careful,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “We want to have a safe, good, happy, healthy start to the school year.” - Vernon Morning Star

OPINION
The wonders of the heavens I’ve decided to start going for walks. In part because I made a bet with someone at work and also, well because I want to be a bit more fit. I have always gone for a walk whenever I’ve wanted/needed to be alone with my thoughts. Walking without purpose or destination helps clear the mind. I also like the autumn. It is my favourite season of the year. I like all the autumn colours and the cool, crisp freshness in the air. It’s hard to explain, but I derive a certain pleasure from walking along, listening to the sounds of autumn leaves rustling in the wind. Much in the same way that I cannot help but feel a sense of sadness and longing when I look up and see a flock of geese flying by overhead or when I’m sitting out in my boat watching as the morning mist rises off the surface of the lake. I enjoy just sitting out there, listening to the sound of water lapping against the hull, the neon buzz of dragonflies and songs of birds
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray perched among the reeds, birds you can hear but not always see. I have even come to listen for that small gurgle on the surface of the water when a trout rises to sip in an insect sitting on the top of the water. On such mornings I have learned to cast my line to the sound rather than the sight of a fish. Over the past half century or so I have come to realize that there is as much to hear as there is to see in nature, if you only take the time to listen. Whether walking along a woodland path or sitting out there in the boat, I have seen many a season change. I have witnessed birth and rebirth and the continuing cycle of life. I have come
to accept that all things change and that change is inevitable. There was a time when I would walk quickly through the woods in order to get to a stream where I hoped there might be fish waiting to be caught. Walking through the woods was but a means of getting from the vehicle to the stream. The less time it took the sooner I could cast my line. Now, more often than not, I find myself stopping along the way to sit for a few moments on a rock or log, not so much to rest but to simply look and listen to everything around me. Sometimes, every now and then, when I’m sitting there, listening to the sound of autumn leaves rustling in the wind, when the light is penetrating through the canopy above, and certain things remind me of autumn mornings long, long ago, I find my thought drifting back to those autumn mornings when I went fishing with my father. I remember our last fishing trip to together. I always will. As I recall, it was in
the fall. It was on those fishing trips that my father instilled in me a love of nature. Quite early on he impressed upon me the fact that catching fish was but a small part of what fishing is all about - that the whole point of being out there in nature was to experience all the sights and sounds and smells that surround you. I am grateful that he took the time to stop along the way and share with me his appreciation of all the wonders of nature, both great and small. So now, when I do stop along the trail, so to speak, on my way to the proverbial stream, I will take the time to listen as the wind rustles the leaves. I’ll sit down and watch the dust particles dancing in the shafts of light that come streaming down through the tree tops above, and, I will definitely pause to appreciate all the many wonders of nature, both great and small.

Emergency preparedness matters
DirEctor’s notEs Paul Demenok
You hope you will never need to meet them when they’re on the job, but if you do, you’ll really appreciate that they’re there for you. The Shuswap Emergency Program (SEP) involves over 150 dedicated personnel which includes local government staff, retired professionals and trained volunteers located across the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD). Started in 1999 and administered by the CSRD, SEP’s mandate is to plan, prepare and respond to the impacts of emergencies as they affect our community. SEP personnel are trained and prepared to assist in a number of ways in a wide variety of emergencies such as fires, floods, earth-
quakes, accidents or epidemics. Their response to emergencies is determined through the British Columbia Emergency Management Systems (BCERMS) which in turn, utilizes the Incident Command System, a standardized emergency response system used throughout the province. Services provided by the SEP are intended to supplement those provided by other emergency organizations such as the RCMP, Fire Department or BC Ambulance Services. The overall goal is to ensure that a coordinated, organized and effective response is delivered to all emergency incidents and disasters. In 2012 when the high waters of the Shuswap freshet enveloped several surrounding communities, SEP volunteers were there. They helped to provide shelter, clothing, food, water, emotional support, location of loved ones, and a variety of other services to those affected. Despite having suffered terrible personal losses, there were many warm compliments given by people displaced by the flood
waters to the personnel of the SEP. SEP volunteers participate in courses conducted year round on topics such as disaster preparedness, situational leadership, crisis communications, team organization, and emergency evacuation as well as seminars on the basic principles of the Incident Command System and the Emergency Operations Centre. Fortunately, as major emergencies are few and far between, an important ongoing aspect of SEP activities involves education and assisting communities to develop their own emergency plans through programs such as the Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness Program, or NEPP. This program assists neighbourhoods to identify local skills and resources that will enable their community to cope more effectively during a disaster as well as to recover more quickly afterwards. If you are interested in learning more or about establishing a Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness
Program in your area, please contact SEP at 250-833-5927, or email sep@csrd.bc.ca. Another critically important service provided by SEP is Emergency Social Services. ESS depends on community volunteers to plan and provide for the essential needs of individuals, families and response workers, not only for large disasters, but also for smaller localized incidents. More volunteers are always needed. Please contact the SEP office if you wish to help people affected by a disaster. The SEP is looking for people who have solid communication skills, good health, flexibility, ability to work with a team, and can respond on short notice. Volunteers at the SEP find that this experience enables them to help others while also challenging them to gain new skills and insights. If you would like to suggest topics for future articles, or participate in our community advisory panel surveys, please contact me at pdemenok@csrd.bc.ca. -Paul Demenok is the Area C Director for the CSRD.

Mammography unit rolls into area A local non-profit society is working to ensure Shuswap women get screened for breast cancer. On Saturday, Sept. 28, a mobile mammogram unit will roll into the Blind Bay Marketplace thanks to the newly formed nonprofit South Shuswap Health Services Society (SSHSS). The society co-ordinated with the BC Cancer Foundation. The mobile unit will also stop at the Sorrento Drop-In Centre on Friday, Sept. 27. To register or to getmore information on eligibility, call 1-800663-9203. The service is free annually to permanent residents of B.C. who have a care card and family doctor or clinic. There are some restrictions: • Women who have breast implants or injections must get a doctor’s referral. • Breastfeeding mothers need to wait three months after they stop breastfeeding before getting a mammogram. • Women with a history of breast cancer are not eligible either. Anyone with symptoms such as a lump or nipple discharge should go immediately to see their doctor. High-risk women under the age of 40 may
register if they have a referral from their doctor. Screening is not recommended for women under 40 as the risk of breast cancer is considered to be low. Women over the age of 79 are eligible with a doctor’s referral. Normal results are mailed to either the patient or their healthcare provider within a two-week period. Those who are asked to return for additional testing may not necessarily have breast cancer, but a closer look
at a specific area may be required. According to the BC Cancer Agency’s website, 95 per cent of those called for additional testing do not have cancer. The website also instructs those who do not have a family doctor to try to find one using the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC website at www.cpsbc. ca. Or try the BC Naturopathic Association website at www.bcna. ca, or the BC Nurse Practitioner Association at www.bcnpa.org. This
is important, as the mobile clinic needs somewhere to send the test information. The mammogram screening process is designed to catch cancer in its early stages, and has the potential to save lives. Those who have not recently been screened are strongly encouraged to take the time to do so. The next SSHSS meeting is Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. at Shuswap Lake Estates. Call Sue for more info at 250-8325932.

Your Health &
Wellness
INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
Become a more positive person Learned optimism can be beneficial, helping to minimize feelings of depression, reduce stress levels and possibly improve physical health. According to a controlled study by the University of Pennsylvania’s Martin Seligman, Ph.D., and Gregory Buchanan, Ph.D., incoming university freshmen who participated in a workshop on cognitive coping skills reported fewer adverse physical problems over time and retained their physical and mental health better than those who were not in a coping skills group. This isn’t the first evidence that optimism can have profound benefits. In a retrospective study of 34 healthy Hall of Fame baseball players who were on teams between 1900 and 1950, the known optimists lived longer. Survival rates for optimistic cancer patients are higher than for those who are hopeless. Optimists are also better equipped to handle stress and manage incidents that would incite anxiety. Although there are plenty of people who seem to be eternally optimistic, optimism is not an inherited trait. Changing perceptions and teaching oneself to be more optimistic is possible. Being an optimist doesn’t mean turning a blind eye to problems or expecting
everything to be easy. Being optimistic means learning from situations and recognizing that obstacles are there for a purpose. Men and women hoping to become more optimistic can employ the following strategies. * Stop and embrace a positive event. Take time to mull over something good that has happened and take credit for your involvement. Mentally categorize this feeling for later when you need an example of the way optimism makes you feel.
* Surround yourself with optimists. Hang out with people who have a sunny view on life rather than those who bring you down or commiserate. Learning from example can help you develop more positive thinking patterns. * Believe you can and will succeed. When approaching something new, don’t set yourself up for failure. Go into it with the vision that you will thrive. Even if you don’t succeed as planned, you can use the opportunity as a learning experience and
set a new plan to tackle. * Erase negative phrases from your vocabulary. Using the terms “I can’t” or “It’s impossible” is a recipe for failure. * Avoid complaints. Complaining does little more than make the person complaining feel even worse and could bring down the people around you. Because it won’t solve anything, there really is nothing productive about it. If you must get your feelings out, write them in a book and then tuck that book away.
* Take care of your body. You certainly can’t be positive if you aren’t feeling 100 percent. A well-balanced diet, routine exercise, sufficient rest, and finding time to go outdoors and get some fresh air and sunshine can help keep a person on a positive path. * Get involved. Spending too much time isolated and alone can eventually degrade anyone’s feelings of wellbeing. Take the time to meet with people outside of your family and engage in different activities that take your mind off of stressors. People who are busy in a good way are more inclined to see the brighter side of life. * Practice positive affirmations. Tell yourself good things. Receiving praise is something that instantly can put a person in a good mood. Instead of waiting for praise from others, give yourself a pat on the back every day. * Realize that things don’t happen overnight. Becoming more optimistic will take time, but it can be done. Don’t be discouraged if it takes a little more time than you expected. Living longer and more productively comes partially from being an optimistic person and making the best of every situation.

parcel, once subdivided, would house the SASCU Downtown Activity Centre, a new 22,000square-foot school board office, and a parcel for future development, he said. “We will do joint use with the city until someone leases, purchases or develops it,” Olson said. The school board’s proposals to extract a revenue stream from the property began in 2006, with an application to rezone three-quarters of the site from institutional to town centre. It was turned down by council, in response to public opposition. This application will come before city council for first reading on Sept. 9.

staff explain there is no development plan proposed along with the rezoning application, but an application to subdivide the property from two to four lots has been made. The net area of the property, considering road dedication, is 4.8 hectares. It is bounded by First Avenue SW, Third Street SW and Shuswap Street. The largest part of the property is the one the school board has been trying to sell. Sterling Olson, the school district’s secretary-treasurer, explains the property is currently two parcels. The school board would like to subdivide the largest parcel into three, making a total of four parcels. The largest

Support for caregivers of dementia patients Dementia often brings about changes in behaviour and communication, which can dramatically affect family caregivers. That’s why the nonprofit Alzheimer Society of B.C. is running its free Family Care-
giver Series in Salmon Arm in September. The one-day workshop provides practical coping strategies for family members who are caring for a person with dementia. “It is through education that caregivers
understand the disease and learn effective strategies to deal with changing communication and behaviours,” says Carly Gronlund, the Society’s support and education coordinator for the region. The series runs on
Saturday, Sept. 14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at The Gathering Place chapel, 350-30th Street NE in Salmon Arm. Pre-registration is required. To register, contact Judy Evans at 250-832-7099 or judy@shuswaphospice.ca.

jurisdictions where tinting also is not allowed. “Police will continue to take enforcement action with motorists found operating vehicles with window tint,” said Molendyk. “Simply driving in B.C. while operating a vehicle which is licensed in another province is not an exemption.”

Health care help right at home
Simon Fraser University professor Scott Lear and his research team have developed a website to help patients living with diabetes, heart, kidney and lung disease manage their health – all in the comfort of their own homes. Patients living throughout B.C. are being invited to participate in an ongoing study tracking its use. “Chronic disease rates are higher in small urban and rural areas, yet access to care is limited to larger cities,” notes Lear. “Patients from remote areas often end up traveling long distances to receive care, sometimes at great time and financial costs. “With monitoring through the Internet, patients can be better supported to manage medications and symptoms and to follow preventive strategies at home.” Lear’s program, My Health Connect, offers patients just that. “Our program is designed to help patients keep track of their own health, and receive coordinated care through a team-based approach between the My Health Connect nurse, patient and their local physicians,” he says. Developed in collaboration with the province’s health authorities and currently undergoing study throughout the province, My Health Connect tracks symptom data and measurements such as blood pressure, weight and sugar levels. Using a computer algorithm, if a value falls outside an individual’s normal range, an alert is sent to a designated nurse, who telephones the patient and provides counseling and advice on whether to see a doctor. Since patients manually enter the data, no specialized equipment is necessary. The program also provides access to dietician and exercise specialist support. Says one participant: “The program has had a significant and positive effect on my health. Having the counsel of a nurse during the program greatly assisted me in understanding the questions I needed to have answered.” Given the program’s coordination with the patient’s doctor, it’s anticipated My Health Connect will prevent disease progression and keep patients out of hospital. Lear is seeking additional patients to participate in the ongoing study. For more information, check out the website at www.bcatpr.ca/icdm.

‘Weather’ to play outside Children’s Corner Tanja Carlson The summer is wonderful for outdoor play; the long days and easy wear clothing make it easy to get our children outside. Before you know it, our weather will change. With fall and its change in climate, outdoor play may be more of a challenge. You might get some resistance from the children to going outside if it is a little cooler or wetter. The saying “there is no bad weather, only bad clothing choices” is so true. If your children are dressed appropriately there is very little weather that can limit outdoor play. Just think, if you lived down on the Coast, you would have to deal with a lot of rain, which can be more of a challenge. We are so lucky in the Shuswap as our weather is fairly mild, so there is no excuse for not going outside.
You may wonder if it is healthy for children to play in the rain. Children will not get sick if they get a little wet or if the weather is cold. Studies have shown that regular fresh air actually helps keep us all a little healthier. Playing outside in seasons other than summer provides different play experiences. Children marvel at puddles, rainbows, mud, worms and how the rain feels on their faces as it falls. The crisp leaves of fall are crunchy underfoot and have a wonderful smell. The change in seasons is a fantastic opportunity to observe life cycles. Playing outside in nature covers many types of learning. Children are exploring math when they experience numbers of items, shapes and patterns. Imagination is sparked when hiding in tall grass or using natural materials to engage in art. And, above all, children are happier and healthier when exposed to nature. And so are you, so get outside and participate right alongside your children. You will create some wonderful memories.

Chase Wood pellet facility proposed Council meeting: Public welcome to hear about plans on Sept. 10. By Cavelle Layes
MARKET NEWS STAff
New job opportunity for Chase will be just one of the things on the upcoming council meeting agenda. A wood pellet manufacturing facility will be proposed during a Sept. 10 council meeting which will be taking place at the Chase
Community Hall. A company called Pinnacle Renewable Energy will be on the agenda as a delegation. The company is expected to provide a presentation to council and the community on their proposed business. Pinnacle Renewable Energy would like to place a wood pellet
manufacturing facility on the former mill site on Aylmer Road that will permit the processing and packaging of forest and wood products. While some Chase residents are already expressing their concerns regarding the potential new business, others believe it would complement the al-
ready well-established Adam’s Lake Lumber Mill just a few kilometres away. The public is invited to come and see this presentation and gain a better understanding of what is being suggested and their views for the future. The company has stated that jobs will be created as a result
Police issue warning about impersonator The Chase RCMP are informing the public of two incidents involving a man, alleged to be impersonating a police officer, and conducting traffic stops, in the Pritchard area. Both incidents happened early Wednesday, Aug. 28 and were reported to the Chase RCMP. The drivers were not physically injured in either incident; however, one driver was yelled at by the suspect. About 4:40 a.m., westbound on Highway #1 near the Highway #97 overpass, the victim driver was
pulled over by a man who presented himself as a police officer. The suspect was driving a dark mid-sized sedan with a flashing red-blue strobe light on the dash. The man appeared to be in his early 20s, was unshaven and had a nose ring. He was wearing plain clothes, a toque and black cotton gloves, and kept shining a flashlight in the driver’s face. The suspect asked for the victim’s driver’s licence, and began yelling and swearing as the driver searched for the licence. The
Cpl. Dan Moskaluk suspect then returned to his vehicle, which allowed the victim to call police. The suspect returned to the victim and handed back the driver’s licence, before heading east toward Pritchard. It was noted that a portion of the driver’s-side head light
may be burned out. Chase RCMP came and conducted patrols but did not locate the suspect. A second incident was reported less than three hours later, about 7:20 a.m., again westbound on Highway #1 near Pritchard. The suspect vehicle had a similar description. However it was described as possibly a Dodge Dart, with emergency lights seen only above the rear-view mirror. The suspect told the victim that his car matched the descripSee Public on pg. A21
of the pellet manufacturing facility coming to Chase. It was also noted that there would be an expected ‘trickledown’ effect on local businesses of having this facility in Chase. The meeting is set to begin at 4 p.m.

Chamber invites brainstormers They know you have ideas on how to make Chase a better place, and now they want to hear them. The Chase and District Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a “Business Brainstorming” session on Sept.
17 at 7 p.m. The objective of this forum is for all business owners to bring constructive powerbuilding ideas and set up goals towards further economic development. The process will
look at “What do we really want to become?” “How do we think we might get there?” “What are the top priorities we need to concentrate on to move forward?” The forum will be the first of its kind
in Chase and will be chaired by Tom Price, operator of the Chase and District Employment Centre. If all goes well, the forum is expected to become a regular event. Everyone is invited
which will be set up. The breakfast is just one of the many ways the donkey refuge relies on the community to help keep its doors open each day. There are only three facilities of its type in North America, and the folks at the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge take great pride in taking in any mistreated or forgotten donkey they can. The facility recently went above and beyond to rescue a mini herd of donkeys from Vancouver Island, adding another 15 donkeys to their already growing population. While the refuge is open daily for visitors to come and take
n Funds raised will go towards daily expenses, possible expansion. a look, events like the pancake breakfast allow supporters from around the area to come together. The refuge can show them where their hard earned money goes,
and allow them to meet their thankful furry friends whom they helped save. The money from this event goes towards things such as the daily bills required to keep the refuge open, the vet bills, and maintenance costs as well as many other expenditures that come along with a refuge of this type. The refuge now has more than 60 donkeys and is in need of expansion. This can only be done, however, if enough money is raised. Admission for the pancake breakfast is $11 per adult, $10 for seniors and students, and $5 for refuge members.
Public asked to report similar incidents Continued from pg. 20 tion of a vehicle recently involved in a situation. The suspect asked for and obtained the victim’s driver’s licence and insurance, and then returned those documents. “The RCMP reviewed records, and confirmed neither incident involved an actual police officer. We have
had similar isolated incidents that have occurred in the past in different regions of the province. In both cases, the victim drivers took the appropriate actions by immediately contacting 911 to report the incident,” stated Cpl. Dan Moskaluk. Drivers can take precautions when stopped by an individual whom they believe may not be a police officer. The
Chase RCMP are continuing their investigation into these incidents and ask that drivers in the area remain vigilant and report anything similarly suspicious to the Chase RCMP or their local police services. If anyone identifies themselves as a police officer and makes unusual or inappropriate requests, the public should: • Request to
see identification or other proof that they are in fact a police officer. • Ask the officer to have a marked police vehicle respond. • Advise the officer that you are going to call 9-1-1 to confirm the officer’s identity. The public should know that no police officer will ever have reason to request money from a member of the public.

Final lineup expected by Sept. 13 The exhibition games have begun as the Chase Heat continue to make cuts in an effort to find the winning team. Things have begun to calm down after a busy weekend that saw large groups of boys from around the province and beyond its borders vying for a place on the roster. Families, friends and local fans could be seen in the stands throughout the weekend’s practices. But after a lot of hard work, head coach Brad Fox and his team have cut down the numbers drastically from the initial expected 70 players, to something much more workable. While the boys had
a few days rest, it did not last for long as the exhibition games kicked off on Wednesday against the North Okanagan Knights. While the remaining players each boast skill and talent, Fox will continue to make some tough cuts in an effort to make the best team he can before the season begins. While Fox said that the process is long and complex, and while some changes might still be made later, he is expecting to have the final line-up by Sept. 13. Heat fans are being called on again this year to come out and fill those stands, cheering on the hometown team.

She is survived by her two loving sons, Patrick Hysop (Tina), and Jason Lyne (Sue), her grandchildren, Josh Hysop, Rachel and Carter Lyne, and step granddaughter Aleesha Hewitt as well as her two sisters, Ida and Christine. Trudi’s life journey started in Chase, BC and took her to Quesnel, North Vancouver, Burnaby, and eventually back to Chase where she loved to read, play golf, crochet, and rekindle friendships with life long friends. Above being a beloved mother she spent her working career in the newspaper industry in the lower mainland where she was knowledgeable and well respected. Trudi will be sadly missed and always remembered by her grandchildren for her home-baked Nanaimo bars, canned pickles, crib lessons, and golfing with her two sons.

MARY PHYLLIS WORGAN It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Mary Phyllis Worgan, (“Phyllis”), at Shuswap Lake General Hospital on August 26, 2013 after 90 wonderful years of life. Phyllis was born January 16, 1923 in Brighton, England, to John Lawrenson and Emily Lawrenson (Cooper). She was predeceased by her husband Leonard Stewart Worgan in 1990, as well as her son John Leonard Worgan in 2010. She is also predeceased by her brother Edward Sheridan and sisters Alice Compton (Short) and Stella Basset (Short) all in England. Phyllis is survived by brothers John and Richard (Dick) Lawrenson, both of whom reside in England, by her son Michael Stewart Worgan and daughter Patricia Anne Schmidt (Worgan) and son-in-law Dan Schmidt. She is also survived by five grandchildren, Joelle Worgan, Christopher Worgan, Amanda Schmidt, Mark Schmidt and Valerie Schmidt. Phyllis was recently overjoyed at the birth of a great granddaughter, July Rayne this past May, 2013. She is also survived by numerous nephews and nieces, all of whom she enjoyed and loved. Phyllis grew up in Brighton, England and eventually served in the Women’s Land Army during World War II, during which she met and married Leonard in September, 1945. In 1946, she joined many other war brides in her emigration on the Queen Mary, arriving in the Shuswap to be with her husband Leonard and to meet her new in-laws, Lionel and NorahValair (Worgan) and Donald and Mary Worgan (Thompson). Together with Len, Phyllis moved many times throughout B.C. and always managed to turn a house into a home, adapting to her new life as a Canadian as well as maintaining a strong attachment to her English heritage. She played a very active role in her Catholic faith and in her latter years, was the “hub of the wheel” for her extended family, both here in Canada and in England. She was known for her dedication to sending Birthday and Christmas cards to friends and family alike, and for her ready laugh and quick humour. The family would like to thank the staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital and Pioneer Lodge for the care that Phyllis received during her short time there. A celebration of Phyllis’s life will be held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church of St Joseph in Salmon Arm on Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 11 a.m. with interment to follow at the Gardens of Gethsemani, Surrey, BC on Friday, September 6, at 1 p.m. Online condolences can be sent through Phyllis obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Service, Salmon Arm, BC

SHAW, JAMES CAMERON It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James “Jim” Shaw of Blind Bay, BC at the age of 67 after a three year battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).

He is also survived by sisters Linda (James) Beebe of Saskatoon, Nancy (Don) Wilkins of Davidson and Lorna (Maurice) Lennox of Saskatoon, and sister-in-law Elizabeth Saver of Chilliwack. He also leaves 10 special nieces and nephews and their families. Jim was born July 24, 1946 in Porcupine Plain, Sask. to Jack and Velma Shaw. He joined the RCMP on April 15, 1966 taking his training in Ottawa and had the distinction of being part of the “last mounted troop”. His first posting was to Kamloops where he was stationed for 10 years before he was transferred to Ocean Falls, on to Kelowna and back to Kamloops in 1988. He retired from the force in May 1991 then worked for the City of Kamloops as Court Liaison Officer until December 2002. In July 2004 Jim and Gwyn moved to Blind Bay on the Shuswap Lake to enjoy their retirement. Jim was very active in the community and for a period of time he held the position of Director of Maintenance with the Cedar Heights Community Assoc. He enjoyed reading, woodworking, water sports, skiing, golfing and curling. He loved traveling, gardening and spending time with his family and friends, of which he had many. He had a great sense of humour and always had a story or joke to tell. Several winters were spent in their home away from home, Rincon de Guayabitos Mexico. Jim loved life and lived it to the fullest. A Celebration of Life for Jim will take place on Saturday, September 28, 2013 at Cedar Heights Community Centre, 2316 Lakeview Drive, Blind Bay at 2:00 p.m. with a reception to follow.

Friday, September 6, 2013 Shuswap Market News
Increasing safety and reliability on highways From the legIslature Greg Kyllo While the summer months are perfect for long, lazy days at Shuswap Lake, I have to admit I haven’t been able to enjoy too much vacation time. But I don’t mind being busy when it means great things are happening in our community. I was thrilled to see the government announce it will commit $3 million for the design and construction of a new bridge on Highway 97A over Hummingbird Creek. This is a much-needed improvement project for our community. It means increased safety and protection of the highway during high creek flows. Design is expected to be completed by next spring, with construction to follow later in 2014. As the bridge is being built, other measures will be put into place to ensure the highway continues to be a reliable route for the movement of people and goods. That reliability is key to sustaining economic growth and creating jobs across BC.
The project comes after much consultation with the Swansea Point community. I want to thank all of the local residents who gave their input
and working together to build a better Shuswap community, I’m pleased to let you know that my new constituency office is coming along nicely. Renova-
tions continue, and we are close to opening up our doors to you. Stay tuned for details. In the meantime, I encourage you to email me at Greg.Kyllo.

24 Hour Service Rob Stunzi cell: 250-253-2829 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.

n Hockey player Sammy Larose was among the participants who took part in the Epic Sports Academy Minor Games Camp held last month in Salmon Arm.
Hockey player mourned Former Shuswap Totems hockey player Pat Mangold, 47, died Saturday, Aug. 24 after crashing his jet ski into a log boom on Okanagan Lake. Mangold was riding his jet ski about 8:30 p.m. when he struck a log boom near Trader’s Cove and was thrown from the watercraft. A nearby boater heard the impact and was able to get Mangold aboard his boat. He was quickly trans-
ported to the shore and then taken to hospital by ambulance but could not be resuscitated. Mangold played for the Shuswap Totems in their expansion year in the BCHL 1982-1983. Gord Mackintosh was the general manager of the team at the time and remembers Mangold as a great hockey player and all around good person. “He was a great guy, totally dedicated to
hockey and just a real good personality, real team hockey player,” he said. Although Mangold was only in Salmon Arm for a short time, his sister, Barb Mangold, said he really enjoyed and appreciated his time in town. He was one of five players from 100 Mile House on the Totems that season. Mangold began his WHL career with the Calgary Wranglers in
Up to
1981 before playing with the Shuswap Totems. In 1983 he went back to the Wranglers for two more seasons before playing one season with the Kamloops Blazers and two seasons with the Kelowna Packers. He ended his hockey career in the British Hockey League in 1987/1988 as leading scorer for the Cleveland Bombers. Mangold’s family lives in Kelowna.

GARDENS Brookes Garden
Heather Brooks’ garden in Hillcrest is a spectacular mix of all kinds of different grasses, flowers, ornaments, rock creek and pathways to different areas of his beautiful yard. The yard has a touch of an oriental feel to it with beautifully finished wood structures and oriental stone statuary. A large portrait of the Buddha overlooks the whole thing. The Brooks’ garden has a bit of everything and is exceedingly well put together.
