Pitching in with typhoon relief effort By Barb Brouwer
market news staff
In the early morning hours of Nov. 9, the world’s largest super storm of recorded history swept across the middle islands of the Philippines. It was more than three times the magnitude of Hurricane Katrina. With sustained winds of 350 km/hr (190 mph), this typhoon quite literally levelled towns and villages in the islands of Samar and Leyte, the birthplace of local resident Lib Pulsifer. Among the hardest hit city was Tacloban, where more than 10,000 people are feared dead, but many other smaller communities have been laid to waste and are suffering all the more because of their isolation. Families there are resort-
ing to desperate measures for survival. Local photographer and Lib’s husband, Craig Pulsifer, offers some practical ways local residents can help those who have lost everything to Typhoon Haiyan: • Drop recycled cans/bottles into the “Children at Risk” bin at Hanna & Hanna’s Garden Centre. For the next few weeks, proceeds from the ongoing local bottle drive will be deposited to the Philippine Emergency Disaster Relief Fund of Action International Ministries in Manila, Philippines. • Sort recyclables at Bill’s Bottle Exchange: contact Lindsay Pulsifer at 250-832-1343 for details or email lindspuls@hotmail.com. • Donate online through Action International
Ministries at www.actioninternational.org/donate. “Lib and I are just volunteers with Action International, but we personally know the directors and the spartan ways of their leadership and ministry,” says Craig. “Therefore, we trust our gifts will get directly to ground zero in the Philippines with nominal admin fees.” Customers can support Red Cross relief efforts in the Philippines by making a donation at any of the 195 BC Liquor Stores located in the province. These donations will help the Red Cross provide urgently needed assistance in affected communities. Until Dec. 9, customers may make donations of $2 or $5 and these donations will be matched by the federal government.

SAGA to celebrate stories By Barb Brouwer
market news staff
A $3,000 grant from the Community Foundation is firing imagination and brewing surprises at the Salmon Arm Arts Centre. Based on the premise that art is for everyone and is found in unexpected places, director/ curator Tracey Kutschker and Shuswap District Arts Council Board member Louise Wallace are working together to bring the community into an exhibition that will run for two months next spring. With the belief that art is everywhere, including in the objects we use every day – like bicycles, books, movies, greeting cards and more, Wallace and Kutschker committed to having a least one show every couple of years that focuses on an everyday object. Another goal is to demystify the art gallery, to make people of all
ages, walks of life and interests to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance at their art gallery. “The show was originally about books, then we decided that wasn’t enough, so it’s about storytelling,” laughs Wallace, a local publisher. What the women also realized was that the project goes beyond the art gallery, including more individuals, more organizations and more opportunities to reach out through art and deepen the connection to others. “And it’s also about building new relationships with storytelling, because we’re in a rapidly changing world, so the role of technology and how it plays into storytelling can also be part of this project,” says Wallace. “Storytelling is in a very experimental phase right now – do we talk, text, Facebook? Do we blog? And how does that compare to how
we told our stories in the past? And how will we tell our story in the future?” Everyone has a story and all art is storytelling, says Kutschker, noting the exhibition will be one of many parts and many surprises. “It will have a very collaborative feel and even the visitors will be asked to be part of the story,” she says. “One of the coolest ones is that we’ll have a live Twitter feed projected onto a wall of the gallery and anyone anywhere in the world can contribute.” Eleven artists will be commissioned to design a book cover for the as-of-yet unwritten story. And the theme is “The Best Story Not Yet Told.” “The artists will only be told there will be an unfolding Twitter feed story, so they will imagine what will appear on the Twitter feed,” says Wallace. “It will show
their take on storytelling in the 21st century.” Another non-original, but new to Salmon Arm idea, is a living library where two strangers meet and one is the book and one is the reader. The reader asks the book questions, and that could be asking questions of local scientists, artists, performers, First Nations and more. The project will be getting underway soon and will include sculptural seat installations – some inside and others outside – in customary and unexpected places. “The only thing we can tell you for sure is, be prepared to be surprised,” says Wallace. “It’s definitely experimental and unexpected.” Wallace and Kutschker are excited about the project and the $3,000 Shuswap Community Foundation grant that allows them to invest in an exhibition financially for the first time.

Plenty of bad apples in this crop It hasn’t been a particularly good stretch for politicians in Canada. What began with the summary expulsion of three senators over their alleged misuse of taxpayer money, ended with a drunken rant from the admitted crack-smoking mayor of Canada’s largest city. The Senate scandal crawled to an uninspired end after dominating headlines for weeks. All but one Conservative senator voted to expel the three, but not before enough muck had been thrown to spatter both the upper and lower house. Aside from the allegation of spending impropriety and outright fraud, there were counter claims that the office of the prime minister knew more than it was saying. Adding to the debate were accusations the Conservatives were running roughshod over judicial process by expelling the senators before an official investigation into their conduct was complete. But just as Tory senators swung the axe, the story was bumped from the front page. It was replaced by the train wreck that is Rob Ford. After months of denying the existence of a video purporting to show the Toronto mayor smoking crack, the video emerged. The initial angry denials were soon replaced by an admission and an apology – lots of apologies. But no sooner had the talk show hosts warmed up their monologues, another video emerged, this one showing Ford in an apparent drunken rage. All this, of course, has little direct impact on B.C. residents, except to fill the evening newscasts. But it does colour (or confirm) our perception of politics and public life. And that is unfortunate. The majority of people in public office are honourable and dedicated to the well being of their constituents. But like the plane that lands safely, the politicians and public servants who do their job well, never make the headlines. -Chilliwack Progress

Not feeling sad about this winter
Although there may not be snow on the ground yet, it would seem that it is, nevertheless, determined to linger on the hillsides. The very thought of winter sends chills down my back. I am not, never have been and never will be what you could call a real big fan of winter – and it would seem that I am not alone. For many of us, it’s hard to appreciate the fact that we have up to six long, long months of freezing cold temperatures, drifting snow and bleak grey skies ahead. Apparently there are an ever increasing number of people who simply don’t like winter. There is even a condition for people with such a dislike of winter. They are described as suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. The actual medical definition of SAD is a condition or disorder which involves episodes of depression that occur at a specific times of the year, most often starting in the fall and continuing on though the winter months into spring. The disorder may begin during the teen years or early adulthood
The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray and, like other forms of depression, occurs more often among women than men. Symptoms of SAD usually build up slowly in the late autumn and progress through the winter months. Many symptoms are the same as with depression, including a significant loss in energy and ability to concentrate, especially in the afternoon, a loss of interest in work and/or other activities, as well as lethargy, social withdrawal and general irritability. Antidepressant medications and therapy can be effective to a degree; however, light therapy, using special lights that duplicate sunlight is commonly believed to be another effective remedy used by people suffering from SAD. While
SAD does usually improve more quickly with treatment, most symptoms seem to get better on their own with a change of seasons. Personally, I think there should be an acronym for people who, although not clinically depressed, are Simply Not Fans of Winter (SNFW). It would have to be described as more of an attitude than a condition. People who have SNFW could get together during the long winter months, sit around at coffee shops and fast food restaurants early in the morning and gripe to their heart’s content about winter. They could also gripe about things other than winter, such as potholes in the roads, young people now-a-days, current affairs and/or city council, the cost of having to change over to winter tires (although technically that would still be griping about winter), television reruns and global warming. Actually, I have a better idea. Perhaps we should change from the current Julian calendar to one where we go directly from September to March or
April thus doing away altogether with the winter months. Spring could last from Chironomid season right through to the mayfly and early caddis hatches. Summer could be extended all the way through to late autumn and autumn, per se, could last through ’till spring. I like the idea. Come to think of it, I’m already feeling a lot more cheerful. I think maybe I’ll write a letter to the editor describing my idea in detail. City council is busy but I’m sure they will embrace it – think of all the money they’ll save on snow plowing. All I have to do is convince all those cross-country skiers. Maybe we could have snow for a few days just before Christmas and then have it go away, say by New Year’s Eve. That way the skiers could get their skiing in and the ice fishers... come to think of it, I’ve always wondered about people who are willing to sit out on a frozen lake for hours staring at a round hole cut in the ice. Anyway, I’ve got work to do if I’m going to get my idea off the ground.

Two men and a woman from Alberta have been charged in connection with the alleged murder of a Salmon Arm man last seen in videotaped clips at a Barrhead, Alta. gas station on July 17. The body of 45-yearold Valentine (Val) Degenhardt has yet to be recovered, but RCMP investigators now believe they know where to search for his remains. On Saturday, Edmonton Major Crimes unit investigators arrested two men and one woman in relation to the disappearance of Degenhardt, who had been reported missing by his wife on July 19. Norman “John” Jerrett, 46, is charged with first-degree mur-
der, robbery, break and enter and indignity to a dead body; Norma McAllister, 45, is charged with accessory after the fact, as well as break and enter; and Carl McAllister, 29, is charged with accessory after the fact. All three are from Barrhead, Alta. and are being held in police custody to appear in court on Nov. 26. During the investigation, it was learned that hikers came upon Degenhardt’s 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee in a remote area off Highway 32 between Whitecourt, Alta. and Swan Hills, Alta. – about two hours northwest of Edmonton. Degenhardt’s family and friends, who described his disappearance as out of character, had established a $5,000 special reward fund with Crime Stop-
SilverBacks Hockey
pers to encourage anyone with information to step forward. His spouse, Robyn Schmitke-Degenhardt, travelled from Salmon Arm to Edmonton in August and gave a press conference pleading for information about her hus-
Val Degenhardt band’s whereabouts. She spoke of how the couple had matching wedding tattoos of a yin-yang symbol that marked the date of their marriage. The couple had been mar-
ried a year at the time. Degenhardt has numerous family and work connections in Alberta. The details of what he was doing the day he disappeared are still being investigated and police would not comment further on a possible motive, although Degenhardt’s disappearance was regarded as suspicious from the beginning. “There’s an element of criminality that coincides with his disappearance, and that is why the major crimes unit is involved in this investigation,” said Sgt. Josee Valiquette at the time of the missing person release. “Just north of St. Albert area on July 30, a burnt-out SUV was seen on a flatbed truck around the same time that Degenhardt disappeared.”

Theatre members have fun learning The Blind Bay senior’s theatre began as a simple idea, but is now changing lives. Peter Blacklock began the senior’s theatre club after someone expressed their interest in his other theatre projects, but was unable to drive at night to get to them. The senior’s theatre isn’t about putting on large-scale productions. In fact, if you are nervous about acting in front of a crowd, you never need to. Blacklock’s creation is more about the social side of things. “There have been many studies that show as people get older they become more isolated,” Blacklock said, adding that this often results in a decreased quality of health. Senior’s theatre provides a safe environment to learn new skills, exercise
the brain, meet new friends, build social networks and find solutions for everyday problems. Blacklock has found a way to interlace problem-solving and preparation with simple improv exercises. He addresses common scenarios, which may appear at some point in a seniors life, and helps participants find ways to deal with them. Even when the topics are heavier, the group ensures that fun is always the focus. Recently, the group explored the issue of a senior being confronted by a child about their decreasing ability to safely drive a vehicle. This is a conversation many will have, Blacklock said, but the group helped lighten the topic and they were able to work through a
number of scenarios. They were able to understand the child’s point of view, as well as find ways to cope with the information in a productive manner. Blacklock takes suggestions for group topics, and has great feedback. The group also participates in “brain gym,” a series of exercises meant to help keep the brain running in top shape. These include storytelling games which help improve memory, and others which require quick thinking. “It is mostly about getting out and laughing,” Blacklock said. It is this laughter that has made the senior’s theatre a huge success at the Cedar Heights Hall in Blind Bay, attracting a number of members each week, between age 40 to 80, as well as some spe-
cial-needs students. There is no limit on who can attend, as long as they are willing to have fun. The group has been
able to obtain federal grants, which have allowed them to create a handbook and instruc-

A commitment to veterans
From the hill Colin Mayes The throne speech once again echoed our Government’s commitment to stand by our men and women in the Canadian Forces. Since becoming Government in 2006, we have invested in the equipment needed by the Canadian Forces so that they can do their job to protect our security and freedom domestically, as well as on the international stage. Our government has also dramatically increased direct support to our veterans. Since 2006, new investments include almost $4.7 billion in new funding to enhance benefits, programs and services for veterans and their families. While 90 per cent of veterans come home
without any need from Veterans Affairs, not all veterans make a smooth transition and some become at-risk or homeless. Our government is dedicated to helping ensure that all of our veterans get the assistance they need to make a smooth transition to civilian life. The “Helmets to Hard Hats” program assists veterans in finding jobs and in receiving the training they need for the jobs of today. Veterans that have incurred injuries in the line of duty have also seen their support increased. One of the benefits includes ‘income replacement’ that ensures their annual income does not fall below 75 per cent of their pre-release military income with the minimum pre-tax salary set at $42,426. There is also an additional monthly financial benefit of up to $1,709 for those that have lost job opportunities because of severe injuries. There is also a one-time tax-free award for injuries up to a maximum of $298,587. Our government un-
derstands that dollars simply are not enough. The programs and services available to veterans and their families need to be easy to access, which is why we have made cutting red tape and streamlining access to these important programs a priority. We have also streamlined reimbursements and payment procedures so veterans receive the support they need in a timely fashion. In 1995, the previous government made huge cuts to the Canadian Forces’ budget and to veteran benefits. Since our Conservative government was elected, seven years ago, our government’s commitment to the men and women in uniform has resulted in one of the best equipped military and veterans benefits system that has been recognized as the best in the world. Remembering our veterans is, to our government, not a one-day event; it is an everyday commitment to honour those that serve our nation and we will “never forget.”

Documents suggest ALC at risk extraction on top of the food chain. “The way we support agriculture is pitiful,” says Mansfield. “Yes, we need an independent commission, but we also need a Ministry of Agriculture that’s not promoting LNG, exploration of non-farm use on agricultural lands.” Mansfield calls any move to dismantle the ALC and prioritize oil and gas over food security “shortsighted.” He also takes issue with the lack of opportunity offered to the public to provide input on the core review (announced Sept. 24, ended on Oct. 16), and the fact that the B.C. Liberal government cancelled the fall sitting of the legislature, thus preventing debate. Which is why he says it’s excellent that local governments, such as the City of Vancouver and, most recently, the City of Salmon Arm, are writing to the province, asking that the ALC not be touched.
Salmon Arm council’s decision to speak out in the ALC’s defence stemmed from an Oct. 28 request from the city’s Agricultural Advisory Committee to write Bennett and ask that the ALC be left out of any possible budget reduction actions. Coun. Chad Eliason said Bennett won’t care and suggested council not support the committee’s request. But Couns. Ken Jamieson, the committee’s chair, and Alan Harrison were able to sway opinion in favour. “The budget of the Agricultural Land Commission, compared to other budgets in the province, is minute, it’s extremely small, and I know in our dealings with the ALC, they are trying to be proactive, but in fact, I found they can only be reactive…” commented Harrison.

Advocates for B.C. agriculture are concerned the province may do away with the Agricultural Land Commission in an attempt to save $50 million from the 2014/15 budget. B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett, who oversees a cabinet working group with a mandate to find ways of cutting back government spending, says the province has no intention of “blowing up the ALC or bringing it inside government,” and assures the commission will continue to decide on applications to amend the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), established 40 years ago to protect farmland from development. Bennett’s comments are in response to cabinet documents leaked to the Globe and Mail, in which a strategy is outlined for Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm to
facilitate giving greater control over what happens on agricultural land to local governments and the BC Oil and Gas Commission. Moving the commission into the Ministry of Agriculture so that it would no longer be an independent body is one of the key components of the strategy that concern BC Food Systems Network co-chair Brent Mansfield. Another is the proposed division of the province into two agricultural zones, one that takes in the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley and Okanagan, and the other everything north of the Okanagan. In this second zone, the Oil and Gas Commission would supposedly play a greater role in deciding on applications for land removal from the ALR. Mansfield says the documents appear to reflect the B.C. government’s priority commitment to liquid natural gas, and places resource

From harvest to the soil GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway
Come ye thankful people, come Raise the song of harvest home; All is safely gathered in, Ere the winter storms begin. (Hymn) A mother and daughter gardening team that I’m lucky to know, had just recently brought in their last harvest of the season when I stopped by the other day, and the yield from their gardens surrounding their home had brought in quite a haul. More than 250 pounds of potatoes as well as the same for tomatoes, plus squash, pumpkins and corn filled their spare room and garage floor. Earlier pickings were berries and the apples off their trees, with a whole load of other fresh and nutritious vegetables in between. All this food throughout the growing season is eaten fresh, processed, frozen or stored for the year, giving them lots of free and nourishing food for the winter months as well as enough to share with friends and donate to the needy. Carefully selected new and heritage varieties of flowers grace
the property with beautiful colour and the lawn becomes a delightful meadow of blooming bulbs in the springtime. They have a deep and respectful connection to nature and the earth, so no chemicals, toxins or poisons are ever used on the plants or soil. In Des Kennedy’s book, Crazy About Gardening, he says: “Gardeners have lessons to teach the rest of our race about how to touch the earth with affection and dexterity.” These two are certainly my teachers and I strive to garden like them. Like all committed organic gardeners, they have a couple of good composting bins working away in the backyard, making precious soil that’s loaded with microbes for next year’s growing season. Composting is not rocket science, but there are good techniques and tricks to learn to maximize nutrient levels and speed of decomposition as well as what not to do. For example, there is a yard in town that sports a round wire compost cage filled with big rough materials such as thin branches and heavy viney plants, and it’s been sitting there for years, looking exactly the same. This is a total compost fail because the materials were too big and coarse and there hasn’t been enough moisture getting through it, so the process is pitifully slow if any at all.
The rule of thumb is that the smaller the pieces, the easier it is to be munched on and digested by the worms and microbes. The moisture content in the compost heap should be the equivalent of a wrung out sponge, so make sure you sprinkle the layers with water and flipping the pile once or twice if you can will significantly increase the decomposition process. Diversity of organic materials is important because there will be all kinds of nutrients for the plants to take up, and make sure there are at least two parts carbon (or browns) to one-part nitrogen (or
“If I were you, I’d ask Santa for a chipper or leaf shredder for Christmas, because they’re a gardener’s best friend...”
greens). This recommended ratio can vary considerably and can be confusing when leaves can be either or, so don’t sweat it too much – the important thing is to make it. You can layer in (one- to three-inch thick) all kinds of materials, such as leaves (better if shredded), grass, manures, kitchen waste, wood chips, sawdust, needles, wood ashes, rotten apples, chopped up yard waste and even a sprinkling of dirt or clean
sand between the odd layer for added minerals – whatever you can get a hold of. Keep the compost bins covered, so that the rains and snow don’t wash away the nutrients and drown out the microbes and worms. Those rubber mats work well because they’re easy to remove and they don’t blow away. It’s too difficult for me to flip my big bins, so I rely on time to do the job of decomposition and it works just fine once I get a good rotation of composted materials in different stages cooking away throughout the year. I’ve been taking advantage of this dry weather to stuff as many leaf bags as I can (over 200 so far), because every full bag shreds down to less than half of a bag at best and a full bin of organic materials composts down to about half the size when it’s finished. In other words, it takes loads of materials to get any amount of soil or mulch, so you may want to take the time to get a couple of more bins going so you’ve always got plenty. If I were you, I’d ask Santa for a chipper or leaf shredder for Christmas, because they’re a gardener’s best friend and there’s nothing like that earthy black leaf mould to use in the gardens and compost bins.

Province funds shelter beds The province will fund 12 extreme weather spaces in Salmon Arm this winter, to increase emergency shelter space when weather conditions threaten the safety and health of individuals. The spaces are located at the Salvation Army’s
Lighthouse Inn from the Cold, at 441 Third Street. These temporary spaces will be available from the beginning of November to the end of March, whenever the community issues an extreme weather alert. “In times of extreme
weather, we want to ensure no one is left out in the cold,” says Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. “These spaces protect our most vulnerable people from the harsh elements outside, while shelter staff inside provide a caring hand to those in need.”

‘Heart disease’ describes numerous conditions Few people are unaware of heart disease and its potentially devastating effects. But many people may not known that the term “heart disease” is a blanket term used to describe several health problems related to the heart. According to the World Health Organization, ischaemic heart disease, which is characterized by a reduced blood supply to the heart, is the leading cause of death across the globe. Though many conditions are characterized as ischaemic heart disease, many others are not, and the WHO notes that other heart conditions, including stroke, are also among the top 10 most deadly diseases in the world. The following is a rundown of some of the more common heart conditions, many of which can be prevented if men and women make the right lifestyle choices. Angina Angina occurs when a person has chest pain or discomfort around their heart because the muscle is not getting enough oxygen-rich blood. Angina can be a byproduct of elevated levels of

the heart beats, and the diastolic pressure, which is the pressure in the heart when it is at rest. A blood pressure above 120 over 80 is considered high, and that high figure might be caused by salt and water levels in the body and the condition of the body’s kidneys, nervous system and blood vessels, as well as the body’s hormone levels. Treating hypertension is relatively simple, as a doctor will typically recommend some dietary changes and may even prescribe medication for those patients with especially high blood pressure. Stroke Stroke occurs when the blood supply to any part of the brain is interrupted. Potentially deadly, stroke can cause paralysis as well. Trouble speaking, loss of coordination and trouble moving limbs may be indicative of stroke, which is considered a medical emergency that requires immediate medical help. The longer a person goes between the onset of a stroke and seeking treatment often determines the severity of the consequences.

BC Parks honours helpers
n Members of the Shuswap Trail Alliance are presented with the BC Parks Volunteer Group of the Year Award by BC Parks North Okanagan area supervisor Kevin Wilson and Shuswap area supervisor Wes Dearman, at the Shuswap Trails Stewardship Planning Workshop and Celebration held Saturday at the Little Mountain Field House.

Walkable tops the most wanted Living WeLL My husband and I are entering the real estate market and we have several must-haves on our shopping list. At the very top is walkability, which includes walking distance to a grocery store, elementary school and playground; a safe neighborhood which includes accessible sidewalks, street lighting and cross walks; and close proximity to public transit. Some of our friends have questioned why walkability is so important and this is what I tell them: Living in a walkable
neighbourhood is good for your physical, social and mental health. Walkability encourages people of all ages to get outside and be more physically active. Currently, one in three British Columbians are living with preventable chronic illnesses like heart disease. Walking keeps us healthier and helps reduce our risk of chronic disease and obesity. Secondly, getting out of our houses and our cars allows us to socialize with our neighbours. Having a playground down the street will make it easy for my children to be active and for our family to get to know other families in the neigh-
bourhood. Spending time in nature can also boost our mental well-being. Fresh air is calming, whether it’s under the stars or the sun, in the wilderness or in our town centres. Not everyone is able to hike up a mountain but smooth, paved sidewalks, benches and neighbourhood green spaces help make nature accessible to all and that can mean the difference between isolation and happiness. Health is something that can happen every day… where we live, learn, work, and play. - The author, Tanya Osborne, is a community health facilitator with Interior Health.

CSRD to review Sicamous waste audit By Barb Brouwer
market news staff
When the Columbia Shuswap Regional District reviews its waste management plan next year, the results of a recent waste audit at the Sicamous landfill will be up for discussion. The results of a Tri Environmental Consulting Inc. waste audit completed at the landfill between Sept. 7 and 9 revealed that about 70 per cent of the material going into the landfill, which serves some 3,500 residents could be recycled. A total of 10 waste samples, each weighing approximately 100 kilograms were collected and analyzed. Each sample was classified according to one of the following sources – residential curbside program, residential self-haul, industrial, commercial and institutional or from transfer stations.
All Samples were then sorted into 12 primary categories, 46 secondary categories and 59 tertiary categories. Analysis of the overall waste composition entering the Sicamous landfill revealed that 35.7 per cent is compostable organics – including yard and garden waste, food scraps and clean wood. Plastic and paper were the second and third largest categories at 16.9 per cent each. Glass and metals contributed six per cent and 5.1 per cent respectively. The greatest quantity came from the residential self-haul sector where 3.4 per cent of the total mass was electronic waste – three times more than the residential curbside sector, which in Sicamous is subscription based. Most of the electronic items found in the audit are included in
various recycling programs in B.C., including computers, audio equipment, small appliances, power tools and lighting equipment. Small household batteries, oil containers and paint thinners, which are also recyclable in this province, accounted for 1.5 per cent. CSRD waste management co-ordinator Ben Van Nostrand notes there is a slight (“and slight is being generous”) increase in the percentage of recyclables entering the Sicamous landfill compared to other landfills in the regional district. “Maybe people are doing the right thing by taking it to the depot, which costs way more than a curbside program,” he says. Van Nostrand points out that because the District of Sicamous turned down a curbside recycling program in 2011, they are too late
for the cost-saving Materials Management BC program that will be implemented across the regional district next year. “They were the only municipality not to get on-board with what was in the waste management plan,” he says. “We have said we’ll run the depots, but there will be changes. It won’t be like the big green bin.” However, Van Nostrand says that those who now pay for private curbside pick-up service will see no changes. CSRD staff made a presentation to Sicamous’ committee of the whole meeting Oct. 9, explaining the MMBC program, why Sicamous isn’t in and how they could get in by implementing a curbside program over the next couple of years. “You had to have a plan in place in 2012
in order to get on. But MMBC will review the program within a couple of years, at which point they may say whoever has a curbside plan now may be included in the program that will give them the financial incentives,” Van Nostrand says.

n SilverBacks forward #9 Riley Hunt checks Prince George Spruce King Defender Christian Weidauer into the net during last weekend’s 3-2 double overtime loss to Prince George. Tonight, the ’Backs host Cowichan Valley and Saturday night, they head to Trail in hopes of another victory versus the Smoke Eaters.
Duxbury plays leading role The first win of the 2013-14 Canada West women’s basketball season couldn’t have been bigger for the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack. The ’Pack knocked off the second-ranked team in the CIS top10 rankings to capture their first victory. Thompson Rivers took down the University of Alberta Pandas 67-58 at the Tournament Capital Centre on Saturday, Nov. 2. “I liked our defence,” said WolfPack head coach Scott Reeves. “That is a pretty good team. Holding them to 58 points is pretty outstanding. I think when they were using their size and doubling us up inside we were pretty quick. That gave us an opportunity to get a jump ball or an extra possession.” TRU was down by two (14-12) after the opening quarter and trailed the Pandas 3326 at the half. But the WolfPack outscored Alberta 41-25 in the final two quarters. The ’Pack was led by Kassie Colonna (second year, forward, Invermere) who had 18 points and six rebounds. Syd Williams (first year, guard, Langley)
and Salmon Arn’s Jorri Duxbury (fourth year, guard) added 15 points apiece. “Jorri is definitely a leader,” said Reeves. “Not only in her composure but getting the ball up the floor and getting us into offence. When she can score points, she is a stabilizing factor for us.” Alberta’s top gunner was Saskia Van Ginhoven (fourth year, forward, Edmonton,) with 20 points. Each of the
n Jorri Duxbury still playing important role on WolfPack. Pandas’ 12 players on
their roster got at least a point. TRU travelled to Prince George last weekend where they visited the UNBC Timberwolves. They split the weekend, with a 73-53 loss on Nov. 8 and a 76-72 win on Nov. 9. Next home game for the WolfPack is Friday, Nov. 22 at the Tournament Capital Centre when they play host to the UBC Thunderbirds. Tip off is 6 p.m.

Chase
Pellet plant hearing goes to round two
Input: Village council hears heated opinions on proposal to rezone land on Aylmer Road. By Cavelle Layes
market news staff
Emotions ran high at the public hearing into a proposed pellet plant Tuesday, as Chase council took criticism from locals regarding the proposal. This second part of the public hearing, with the first on Oct. 1, saw another packed house, another long line of speakers and another list of concerns regarding the pellet plant coming to town or, on the other hand, council potentially missing the opportunity of allowing it to come to town. The meeting also saw local elected officials, particularly Mayor Ron Anderson, taking heat over comments some residents claim he made over the previous weeks. Several residents spoke about claims that Anderson had been heard telling people that the proposed pellet plant is ‘a done deal.’ Residents expressed their dissatisfaction with the idea that their mayor had already made up his mind before the process had been completed, and before the second scheduled part of the public hearing. Several asked what the point of having the hearing was if, indeed, it was a done deal ei-
N O V E M B E R
ther way. The scoldings continued as the meeting, which tipped two hours, pressed on. The system is corrupted, residents remarked, questioning the fairness of the process. Anderson did not comment at the hearing, but denied the allegations Wednesday morning when contacted by the Shuswap Market News. He said the claims are not true and he would not say such a thing. Anderson said he believes the public hearings have gone quite well and he welcomes the criticism. “The opposing groups are well organized and there is nothing wrong with that,” Anderson said. He continued by noting that the watchful and critical eye of Chase residents helps council ensure the process is done properly and everyone is wellinformed. Anderson also addressed comments about the understanding that council was initially going to vote on the rezoning a month ago. He noted that because of the sensitivity of the site, an environmental assessment was required before any vote could take place

n Wally Churchill and Bob Crosby listen to the comments from fellow Chase residents at the Nov. 12, public hearing regarding a pellet plant held at the Chase Community Hall. The assessment required time, which also allowed council to seek more opinions from the public and to tour the site of another pellet plant. At the hearing, other residents stood up to address the behavior of those doing the criticizing. “God bless your souls,” an angry resident said loudly, before taking their seat. Wally Churchill soon stepped up to the mic. With tears in his eyes, he choked out
words of gratitude. “These people helped me,” Churchill said, pointing to the council members. Churchill described how council helped him after his home burned and he lost everything in the Whispering Pines fire last year. He noted that he knew every member of council, and trusted that they would keep the best interests of Chase in mind as they made their decision. The first part of the

hearing continued with many stepping up to
express their concerns against the pellet plant, or council, or both. Two residents submitted a video that showed clips of Chase residents making statements against the pellet plant in Chase, as well as a short interview with the owner of the Williams Lake Canadian Tire. The businessman expressed his concerns regarding dust in the air, showing his car window and explaining that it gets covered with a film of dust each day. He talked about water problems on the store property which he attributed to the local pellet plant, and expressed a variety of other concerns.
Video clips of the plant were also shown, with smog filling the air, and dark plumes coming from the stacks. While it seemed that supporters were few and far between, the last half of the night saw a number speak. Bev Iglesias, a Chase resident and local real estate agent, reminded Chase of its history. Iglesias explained that not only was Chase a mill town, but it might not exist if it had not been. She countered the idea that no one will move to Chase if the pellet plant moves in, by pointing out that much of Chase was See Council on page B4

Police seize 27 pounds of pot A couple of suspected drug dealers got a lesson in what not to do if you’re transporting drugs. On the evening of Nov. 12, RCMP Central Interior Traffic Services, based in Kamloops, with the assistance of the Chase Detachment, stopped a vehicle for speeding on Highway 1 at Chase. During the stop, the officers noted the smell of marijuana coming from the rental vehicle. The 43 year-old male driver and 23 yearold male passenger, both of Agassiz, were arrested for possession of marijuana under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. A subsequent search uncovered 27 pounds of the drug hidden in the hatch area. The suspects were each released on a recognizance, and a recommendation for charges will be forwarded to Crown counsel. The first court date is set for March 2014.

Two out of three not bad By Scott Koch contributor
The Chase Heat started the past weekend with a home game versus the Golden Rockets. The Nov. 8 contest saw goalie Mike Byer face 35 shots in going the distance. Golden got off to an early 2-0 lead before the Heat took over, scoring seven unanswered goals. Cody Hodges started things off with his first of two in the first. In the second, Jay Sidhu and Hodges got goals prior to Cody
Koskimaki getting a natural hat trick with three in a row. Kurtis Johnson rounded out scoring in the third. Both Connor Venne and Kaleb Boyle finished with three assists. Koskimaki was recognized as the KI Who’s Hot Player of the Night. On Saturday the 9th the boys travelled to Revelstoke for a rematch versus the Grizzlies. After losing the previous weekend the Heat took this contest 6-1. Jake Mattes went the distance, facing 35
shots. Boyle and Johnson scored in the first, in the second Nic Fidanza potted one. In the third, Johnson, Drew Wilde and Koskimaki got goals. Johnson finished with two goals and two assists and received the KI Who’s Hot Player of the Night. On Remembrance Day Nov. 11, the team travelled to 100 Mile House for a contest versus the Wranglers. The Wranglers took off with a 3-0 lead and never looked back, taking this one 5-4. Venne scored in the first, Wilde and Venne with his
second in the second and Fidanza with one in the third. Byer went the distance facing another 35-shot night. The result for the weekend was four points in the standings and a tenuous hold on second place in the division. Next up is 100 Mile House on Friday the 15th at Art Holding Memorial Arena.
formed because of the mill, and many of those living here now, moved here while there was a mill. Iglesias said she tells all her clients about the possibility of a new mill coming to town, and yet she has three new families moving to the area. While many residents had expressed concerns about deviating from the community plans, and taking away an area which could be used to build residential housing in Chase, Iglesias made another point. She reminded those in attendance that someone had tried to build on that land already; however, the soil proved to be unfit for residential building. “Nothing would stick,” she said. Iglesias invited any of those in the gallery to purchase the land and spend the required

Is Iran finally going to come in from the cold? Global VIews Gwynne Dyer When Iran’s new president, Hassan Rouhani, came home from the United Nations General Assembly meeting, demonstrators at Tehran airport threw eggs, shoes and stones. They had heard about his 15-minute phone conversation with U.S. President Barack Obama, and they were not pleased. But there were many more Rouhani supporters at the airport, who clearly hoped that he will make a deal with the United States on Iran’s nuclear program and end the sanctions that are strangling the Iranian economy.
“I believe we can reach a comprehensive solution,” Rouhani’s office tweeted after the famous phone call to Obama, and most Iranians want to believe him. Most people elsewhere want to believe him too. We have had 10 years of escalating threats by Israel and the US to attack Iran if it doesn’t stop enriching uranium for its civil nuclear power program, on the grounds that this is merely a cover for a nuclear weapons programme. And everybody understands that this could end up as a big, ugly war. That’s why Obama took the political risk of becoming the first U.S. president in 34 years to talk to an Iranian leader. When he addressed the General Assembly in New York, he welcomed the “more moderate course” taken by President Rouhani, who took office in August. “The roadblocks may prove to be too
great,” Obama said, “but I firmly believe the diplomatic path must be tested.” Then the chief roadblock arrived: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He was flying to New York to “tell the truth in the face of the sweet talk and the blitz of smiles,” he said – and when he mounted the podium at the General Assembly, he bluntly accused the new Iranian president of being “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Nobody, not even the Israeli intelligence services, accuses Iran of working on nuclear weapons right now. The US Central Intelligence Agency flatly says that it is not. The accusation, by Israel, its Western supporters and some of Iran’s Arab neighbours, is that Tehran is building a (quite legal) uranium enrichment capability in order to be able to make actual nuclear weapons at some future time. Iran denies
any such intention, of course. “We say explicitly that we will be transparent; we say explicitly that we will not build a bomb,” said Rouhani in New York. “No nation should possess nuclear weapons, since there are no right hands for these wrong weapons.” That last was a subtle slap at the hypocrisy of the United States and Israel, which have thousands and hundreds of nuclear weapons respectively, for threatening to attack another country because it is allegedly planning to build them in the future. But Rouhani is not demanding that Israel give up its nuclear weapons and sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. On the contrary, he implicitly accepts the status quo. So why doesn’t Netanyahu welcome the possibility that Iran now seems willing to negotiate a deal that would leave it free to make its
Get to the top
own enriched nuclear fuel for reactors, but stop it from making highly enriched uranium suitable for weapons? By all means insist that any U.S.-Iranian deal be enforceable and free of loopholes, but why say things like “Rouhani thinks he can have his yellowcake (enriched uranium) and eat it too”? The 10-year confrontation over Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons ambitions has served Netanyahu well. It has distracted the world’s attention from the plight of the Palestinians in the occupied territories. It has also given him enormous leverage in Washington: much U.S. policy in the Middle East is driven by the perceived need to keep Israel from launching a unilateral attack on Iran, which would be a catastrophe for American interests in the region. But if Netanyahu truly believes that Iranian
nuclear weapons would be an existential threat to Israel, why would he oppose negotiations that might put an end to that possibility? Exactly what would be lost by giving peace a chance? What would be lost, if a lasting deal emerged from the negotiations being mooted between Tehran and Washington, is the ability of successive right-wing Israeli governments to extort unconditional American military support for Israel, no matter what it does, precisely because it allegedly faces an existential threat from Iran. Since the Russiansponsored deal over Syria’s chemical weapons has similarly sidelined the prospect of an American attack on Syria (which Israel sees as its second most dangerous enemy), the foreign policy that has sustained Netanyahu for almost two decades is collapsing.
Without a plausible military threat to Israel – and where else could it come from, if not Iran or Syria? – his ability to bully successive American administrations into ignoring Israel’s illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land, its clandestine nuclear and chemical weapons and much else besides, would slowly drain away. So Netanyahu will do everything he can to strangle the newborn possibility of an American-Iranian rapprochement in its cradle. As the scenes at Tehran airport demonstrate, Rouhani also faces strong opposition at home from those whose political instincts or interests demand a continuation of the Iran-against-the-world confrontation that has already lasted for a generation. Rouhani’s initiative has created a great deal of hope, but its enemies are already working to kill it.

At Your Service
The North Okanagan Beef 4-H club has had another successful year. We start off the year by spending hours searching through fields and pens for that one animal that shines brighter than the rest underneath all the mud, once we bring them home we let them settle until they officially become a 4-H project at the weigh day. After the weigh day on Dec. 1, we always get together as a club two or more times a month. The first of these meet-
ings is held at the Silver Creek Hall, where we plan out the next month and discuss how our animals are progressing. The second gathering is a field day, where we trailer our animals to Salmon Arm. When we are there we do everything from clipping their hair to bathing them, to just practising with them in public. The first major event the club holds is our Communications Day. Each member from our club presents a speech, a demonstration or a speak and show. Also, all the seniors present an impromptu speech,

UNDERHILL, FLORENCE EVA Florence Eva Underhill, jazz and opera lover, feminist, incredible cook who loved entertaining, passionate and stubborn defender of those in need, voracious reader, stylish dresser, pillar of strength, witty storyteller, trusted friend, one of a kind. Died of congestive heart failure November 6, 2013, Salmon Arm, BC. Born April 17, 1924 in Montreal, Florence Eva Underhill (née Ricciardi) was one of 8 children (6 boys and 2 girls) of proud Sicilian immigrants Guiseppe Ricciardi and Annunziata Sgroi who had arrived in 1913 from the small village of Ucria. Guiseppe landed a job at CN rail, built a house in NDG, planted a garden and grape vines and made sure that there was always bean stew, bread and salad on the table even during the depression. Florence was active all of her life and as a girl played baseball, cross country skied in the Laurentians and went to the beach with her brothers and sister Fran. When she was just 8, her mother tragically perished in a car accident. Her eldest sister Fran became the matriarch of the family and they had a close bond all their lives. She met husband Ellery Lawrence Underhill in 1939 when he was shipped from New Brunswick to Montreal to train for World War II. They fell in love and exchanged letters throughout the war, marrying upon his return. Larry and Florence left Montreal in 1946 when he enrolled in the University of New Brunswick in the forestry department. Her 3 children Judy, Michael and Richard were born in New Brunswick and they lived first in Fredericton and then in St. Stephen. In 1966 Larry looked to expand his work opportunities so the family traversed the country by rail to Salmon Arm, BC where he became woods manager at Federated Coop. The Underhill’s bought a house and were enjoying Salmon Arm life when tragedy struck again. Larry was felled by a stroke in 1971 and Florence found herself alone with two young adults and a 10 year old. Drawing upon her experience in the office at Seagram’s in the 40’s, she returned to work as secretary for School District # 83. She worked at Salmon Arm Elementary until her retirement in 1989. A stickler for grammar and spelling, she excelled at work and survived the many early attempts at computerizing the office. She made many lifelong friends in the teaching community and loved engaging with children and passionately defended those who she thought needed help. Florence loved arts of all kinds. She was an avid reader, green thumbed vegetable gardener and loved her daily walk on the wharf. She was warm-hearted and compassionate and would do anything for her children and grandchildren, family and friends. She was sharp of mind and wit with a dry sense of humour and spoke from the heart. Florence (Nonna) is greatly missed by her daughter Judy(Rod), and sons Michael (Ellen), Richard (Suzanne), her five grandchildren Cara, Keagan, Jocelyn, Adriene and Carmen, brothers Emanuel(Betty) and Michael, and nieces and nephews. The family is grateful for the excellent care given to Florence at Shuswap General Hospital, Bastion Place Palliative Care Unit and the caring support provided by the Shuswap Hospice Society. Donations may be made to the Shuswap Hospice Society, Second Harvest, the Jazz Society or the Salmon Arm Transition House. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday November 16th 1:00 pm at Bowers Funeral Home. Online condolences may be sent through Florence’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservices. com

KURT WILLI MUELLER June 20, 1920 - November 7, 2013 Kurt passed away on Nov. 7, 2013 in Salmon Arm at the age of 93. He is predeceased by his wife of 68 years, Edith Maria, sister Margot Tietje, and granddaughter Anna Marie Mueller Hartmier, and survived by sister Helga Muller, son Kurt (Adele) Mueller, daughter Ursula (Terry) Lowrey, grandchildren David (Erin) and Christel and great grandson Jaxson John Mueller. Kurt was born in Quedlingburg, Germany in 1920 and met Edith, his future wife in the sandbox as a small child. They were married in 1943 during the tumultuous times of World War II. While in the German navy, Kurt survived the sinking of the heavy cruiser “Blucher”, incredulously witnessed the first rocket fired at Peenemunde, and eventually came home after serving as a prisoner of war for two years when the war was over. Canada held better prospects for Kurt and his young family, so he immigrated to Edmonton Alberta in 1954, joined by Edith and the children the following year. There he found shift work as a steam engineer, enjoying the opportunities afforded by his new country for fishing, hunting, and camping. The Okanagan/Shuswap was a favorite holiday destination so in 1975 Kurt and Edith moved to Salmon Arm to retire and also be near the grandchildren. From this home base they were able to travel the length and breadth of North America by camper, as well as take shorter holidays to Hawaii and Reno. Kurt talked many times about how grateful he was to be in Canada with its opportunities for his family. Throughout his life he maintained a lively curiosity for things around him, and loved to debate issues of the day. Kurt will be remembered by all who knew him for his endless supply of jokes, even when he had serious health issues. He will be deeply missed. The family thanks all the caregivers that helped Kurt stay at home, and the staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital and Bastion Place who made his last days comfortable. In lieu of flowers, tax-deductible donations may be made to the Shuswap Hospice Society, PO Box 967, Salmon Arm, V1E 4P1.
