Dudley has taken to walking on two legs like other ducks would to water. On Wednesday, Dec. 18, Dudley the call duck’s right limb was fitted with a prosthetic leg and foot. By Friday, Dudley’s owner and caretaker, Debbie Fortin of K9-1-1 Animal Rescue and Services, said the little water fowl was walking on both legs as though he had them his whole life. “He also thinks now that he has a leg, he can run away,” laughs Fortin. “When we go to get him now for his bath, because he still has to have rehab, instead of just sitting there and letting us pick him up, he’ll try and run away, and he’s very successful at it but he’s in a confined area. It’s really good to see that happen because before he couldn’t.” Dudley lost his foot and part of his leg when he was a wee duckling. Not long after, Fortin’s son, Brandon Schweitzer contacted his friend Terence Loring, a mechanical engineer who recently started his own Kamloops-based company 3 Pillar Designs. Loring, who specializes in 3D architecture and design, paid the duckling a visit and decided to take on the challenge of designing a prosthetic leg. Loring came up with a few different designs and two models, with the actual printing of prosthetics being done by Canadian company Proto3000. The first, he says, was at a wrong angle and more complex than needed. “I thought I’d try to make it very realistic, but it just made it super cumbersome, so I decided to go
back to something very simple and build on that,” says Loring. “At least we got him walking, and if need be we can do something a little more complex. But at this point, at least he’s got his balance and everything.” Loring and Proto3000 donated all of their time and materials for the project, for which Fortin is grateful. Dudley is still getting used to moving on the new leg, with some surfaces and obstacles that he was used to going over with one leg posing a bit of a challenge. But, in general, Fortin says he’s getting around better and his health is improving as a result. “He also now is using his wings more because he’s more upright so he’s able to flap them fully open,” says Fortin. “We had to clip his wings so he doesn’t fly, but he has his flight wings so spreads them and flaps them because he can stand up and be like a real duck. He seems pretty proud.” A remaining challenge is the fastening of the prosthetic to Dudley’s stub – something more secure is needed. “We’re looking into a strap or something to hold the actual leg on his stump,” says Fortin. “That’s a transition we’re making too, but we’ve got several people trying to come up with ideas that won’t stop circulation… you can see it’s doable.” When news of his humane design project broke, Loring said he received calls from other people with injured animals, including someone with an emu that had lost its leg. Loring was interested in taking on the project; however, due to other complications, the animal had to be

And while his curriculum vitae includes much larger design projects, Loring is enthusiastic about his work with Fortin and Dudley, and how he was able to have an positive impact on both their lives. “A lot of people say it’s trivial, and in some ways it might be, but a lot of people really care for this little animal, so I guess that’s why I really wanted to take this on,” says Loring. “If they think it’s important enough, well, why not?”

As someone who cares for animals professionally, Fortin says her eyes are now wide open to the world of 3D printing and the potential benefits the technology can offer animals and humans alike. “There’s lots of possibilities and I know we can’t look at funding those things because we don’t have the financial backing, but just knowing that it is possible to do that gives us a lot more insight as to what we can do,” says Fortin.

Modest decline in assessments By Tracy Hughes
market news staff
Property assessments in the Shuswap dropped compared with the previous year, although the change is modest. For Salmon Arm, a residential property valued at $325,000 in 2013, is now valued at $319,000. For Sicamous, a residential property valued at $318,000 in 2013 is now valued at $310,000. Homes are assessed by BC Assessment on July 1 of each year. “Most homes in the North Okanagan are remaining stable compared to last year’s assessment roll,” said Tracy Wall, deputy as-
sessor. “Most homeowners will see modest changes in the plusfive to minus-five per cent range.” Overall the North Okanagan’s assessment roll, which includes the areas of Armstrong, Enderby, Revelstoke, Greater Vernon, Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Lumby, has decreased slightly in value. Property assessments can be affected by many variables, so owners are advised to contact BC Assessment as soon as possible if they feel their property assessment does not reflect market value of the property. None of the properties in Salmon Arm cracked the top 100
highest valued residences. The vast majority of these properties were waterfront land in Kelowna. Across most of B.C. property assessments are up slightly, with dips in average residential values in the Okanagan and on Vancouver Island. The biggest increases were in the Northwest and Peace River regions, where total residential value rose about 10 per cent as natural gas and other industrial development picks up speed. The value of all property in B.C. rose 1.27 per cent, despite declines in most regions for farm, recreational and managed forest land.

Raising funds with dancing, food, fun The combination of growing regional trails and having a whole load of fun has become something of a tradition for communities throughout the Shuswap each winter. Now in its eighth year, promotion for the annual Shuswap Trail Alliance fundraiser dance and silent auction kicked into gear with tickets going on sale just before Christmas. The $30 tickets help to secure the annual base funding needed to allow the Shuswap Trail Alliance to support trail projects with partners throughout the Shuswap. This year’s Shuswap Trail Party and Silent Auction is set to roll Friday, Feb. 7 at the SASCU Recreation Centre auditorium. The perennial dance band favourite, Scarecrow, is booked, along with Patrick Ryley, spinning his DJ magic. And local foods will once again be featured, this year thanks to the talents of Blue Canoe Bakery Cafe. The call for auction sponsors is out, inviting local businesses and leaders to get their name out on the auction tables. The event usually sells out weeks before the dance floor lights up the first Friday night of February. Tickets are available at Lakeside Insurance and Skookum Cycle and Ski. To contribute to the silent auction and for information on the Shuswap Trails celebration, call Winston Pain at 250-804-6451, or email wpwinston2@gmail.com. To find out more about Shuswap trails throughout the region and the Shuswap Trail Alliance, visit www.shuswaptrails.com.

Symphony brings music magic The Kamloops Symphony’s traditional welcome of the new year, The Magic of Vienna, arrives in Salmon Arm tonight. Although the name has remained the same since this program was introduced in the year 2000, the music and its presentation have been varied. For 2014, the format reflects back to a soldout performance more
than 20 years ago – Tales from the Vienna Woods. The performance captivated the audience with its anecdotes about the people and places of the music’s origins. With Rod Michell as host, the orchestra has re-created the 1993 program with the same music and much of the same evocative narrative. Concertmaster Cve-
tozar Vutev is the featured soloist for Kreisler’s Caprice Viennoise and Rondo in C major by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Magic of Vienna plays Friday, Jan. 10 at 7:30 p.m. at SASCU Recreation Centre. Tickets are available at Kamloops Live! Box Office 1-866-374-5483, at Wearabouts on Alexander Street or at the door.
The Friends at Christmas wish to extend a hearty thanks to: • The Lakeshore News • The Salmon Arm Observer • Friday AM • Windmill Meats • Tim Horton’s • Broadview Evangelical Church • Shuswap Community Church …plus 16 congregations of the Ministerial Group of Churches for providing the food and the many volunteers who contributed their time to making a wonderful Christmas dinner.

Take action to battle the blues
Following all the joy and cheer of the holidays, January can be one of the darkest months. Take Monday for example. Many of us just back to a full work week, getting up in the dark, leaving work in the dark, all in frigid temperatures. That’s why they call it Black Monday. That’s right, Jan. 6 was supposedly the most depressing day of the year. Along with all the snow and cold, there’s not much to look forward to for many of us in January – no holiday until Family Day (which is relatively new to us British Columbians). Being winter, we also don’t get enough vitamin D (something Canadians lack between October and May, when the sunshine doesn’t come out too often). But there is a lot we in the North OkanaganShuswap can take advantage of to keep our spirits high. Getting active is one of the easiest ways to boost your mood, and energy. The options around here are endless, whether it’s winter, summer, spring or fall. Take a splash in the pool at the rec centre, hit the slopes at Silver Star or take a slide down Tube Town, lace up your skates, bundle up for an outdoor snowman-making contest with the kids or a hike (just watch your step under the ice). Or perhaps your brain is feeling a little fuzzy following the holidays. If so, Okanagan College and other area colleges offer a number of courses to keep you educated. There are also a number of classes, whether you’re into cooking, belly dancing or basketball, through the rec centre. The best way to beat the winter blues is to get active, whether physically or mentally, so be proactive and go for it. - Vernon Morning Star

OpiniOn
For those trying to stay warm The other day I stood in the comfort of my warm living room and watched two small birds through the window, pecking at the food in one of the feeders in my front yard. They looked so cold and lonely. It made me shiver just to watch them. I was glad that I had put some bird feed out for them to eat. Feeding wild birds, especially during the harsh winter months, is a popular form of human-wildlife interaction. It is also a practice that has been debated by ornithologists for some time. Proponents believe that feeding wintering birds helps increase survival rates, while others say that it causes birds to become not only dependant on supplied food, but also causes nutritional imbalances because of unnatural food sources. If you are going to go ahead and feed wild birds, it’s probably better to do so only when their natural food sources are limited. It is also a good idea to consult your local bird feed store or the Internet to determine the right type of bird food for the season and species. Place
The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray feeders in protected area, out of the rain, snow and wind and away from windows. Ensure that feeders are not also accessible to other species (i.e. cats) by using baffles or other means to prevent access, and, if you own a cat, try to keep it indoors when birds are feeding. Do not throw feed on the ground or on top of the snow, and clean up spilled seeds as often as possible. This will not only reduce risk to birds from predators but also prevent attracting mice and other rodents. Clean feeders regularly with a 10 per cent solution of bleach diluted in water to prevent disease as there is strong evidence to suggest that bird feeders are responsible for the spread
of salmonella among birds. And, above all, if you do start feeding birds in harsh weather or when natural feed is limited, make sure you continue to put feed out on a regular basis until the weather turns milder. Birds using one feeder will be driven away by birds at another feeder. Temporary food shortages can, however, occur at any time of the year and if it happens to occur during the breeding season, putting food out can make a major difference to the survival of young. Birds time their breeding period to exploit the availability of natural foods. Be aware that birds require high energy, high fat food sources during cold winter weather to maintain their body temperature and fat reserves in order to survive. Black oil sunflower seeds, pinhead oatmeal, soaked sultanas, raisins and currants, mild grated cheese, meal worms, wax worms and seed mixtures (without loose peanuts) are all excellent foods to provide. Soft apples and pears cut in half,
bananas and grapes are also good. One problem with many of the bird feed mixes sold in hardware and grocery stores is that they contain large quantities of inexpensive seeds that few birds will even eat. Some contain as much as 90 per cent millet with as little as 10 per cent black-oil sunflower. A number of species, such as sparrows and the common finch, will actually throw millet out while looking for the blackoil sunflower seeds which is eaten by pretty well all bird species that will come to feeders. Remember to adjust the quantity of feed you put out to the demand, and, once you have established a feeding routine, try not to change it as the birds will tend to time their visits accordingly. While I know there are a lot of people who would say that we have already interfered enough with nature by altering natural habitat, I just can’t help but feeling sorry for all those creatures out there trying so desperately to stay warm. The least I can do is give the birds a little something to eat.

South ShuSwap Review of CSRD projects DiReCtoR’S noteS Paul Demenok Here are updates on six key projects I’ve been involved with: • In 2012, it was recognized that the Area C Liquid Waste Management Plan was outof-date and included assumptions that may be inappropriate. Anticipating Ottawa would announce a new infrastructure funding program in 2013, a new advisory committee program for waste water treatment planning was implemented. Following an RFP process, OpusDaytonKnight was selected as the consultant and has prepared a number
of technical memos that are now being reviewed. The goal is to have the very best plan possible ready for submission when the new infrastructure grant program is launched. The plan must be upto-date, cost-effective, actionable, affordable and efficient. It is clear that the scope of this project will require grants from both the federal and provincial governments if it is to become a reality. I believe the construction of a sewage collection and treatment system is one of the highest priorities for Area C from both environmental and economic perspectives. I would like to sincerely thank Barry Stokes, Ed Fearns and Mike Murrell for their participation and contributions to this program. • I’m very pleased to report that the South Shuswap Chamber of Commerce has been reinvigorated with a new
SilverBacks Hockey
executive elected, a new manager hired, and new and additional funding from the CSRD being provided. I strongly encourage all businesses within the South Shuswap to become members and to actively participate in chamber programs and meetings. In addition to supporting advocacy for local business issues, a key benefit to Chamber membership is enhanced connectivity to CSRD Economic Development and Shuswap Tourism programs. To learn more, contact Karen Brown at manager@southshuswapchamber.com or 250515-0002. • Currently there are two organizations who are working to bring new and much-needed health care services to our area. The CSRD has provided significant financial support under the grants-in-aid program. We are currently
under discussions to see if there are opportunities for these two groups to collaborate moving forward. • A community profile is being developed for Area C under the auspices of CSRD’s Economic Development department. This will provide potential investors with key information and will help to pinpoint new business opportunities. • In 2013, grants from the Area C Gas Tax Fund were allocated to several community organizations to support various environmentally-friendly projects such as installation of high efficiency furnaces, insulation and windows. This program will continue in 2014. • The Area C Parks Plan is now 10 years old and requires updating. In the draft 2014 budget, an allocation has been made for a study to be conducted to help update the Parks Plan.

Big welcome for new centre MARKET NEWS STAff
It is time to have a splashy grand opening of the Community Health Centre in Sorrento. For local residents who have not yet visited the new and improved centre above Munro’s Sorrento Prescriptions, this is their chance. Not only will those attending get to view the facility, but they will also have the opportunity to meet Judy Deringer, the nurse practitioner who will provide health services. Deringer earned her health practitioner designation through the Nurse Practitioners of B.C. (NP4BC) program sponsored by the Ministry of Health and Interior Health. Judy’s salary is paid by In-
terior Health, but overhead costs at the centre are the responsibility of Sorrento & Area Community Association (SACA). This is funded through a variety of fundraisers throughout the year as well as donations from the community. The centre is fully equipped and even has a few specialty items on hand. The nurse practitioner is able to assess patients, order diagnostic tests such as Xrays, CT scans, blood work and ultra sounds. She can diagnose and treat chronic health conditions, write prescriptions, refer patients to specialists and assist patients in managing most chronic health problems. She can also help in prenatal issues as well. Appointments are available

Reports give way to portfolios
Friday, January 10, 2014 Shuswap Market News
Pilot project: School looks at new ways to mark student progress. By Cavelle Layes
MARKET NEWS STAff
Sorrento Elementary School will soon be throwing out report cards and replacing them with portfolios as the school takes another non-traditional approach to the old method of teaching. The students, parents and faculty of Sorrento Elementary School are no strangers to the idea of non-traditional teaching practices. After all, the school has adopted programs which use computer games as a resource for learning, made iPads a regular classroom tool for students and their teachers, and has addressed emotional issues as well as diverse ways of teaching. So, when principal Ian Landy was presented the chance to enter into a pilot program
that supported many of his personal beliefs in teaching, he said yes. Beginning this month, a number of the classes at Sorrento Elementary will be replacing report cards with the active portfolios. Landy explains that
Principal Ian Landy with a report card, a student simply finds out a number every so many months, which tells them how they are doing. Many teachers do provide brief comments; however, a
report card basically tells a student where they are without explaining why. A portfolio will tell more of a story, Landy said, noting how each one would be updated regularly with work that the student has done. Through doing this, the child will get a visual of the progress they have made from one point to another. Strengths will be highlighted, and room-forimprovement suggestions can still be made, but in this case, the student can see exactly what it is they could work on. Teachers will also be able to include a sample of work in the portfolio that will depict the level the student should be attaining, for comparison. Landy feels that it takes the focus off get-

ting a higher mark and, instead, puts it on the work that the students are doing, and the actual learning that is taking place. The portfolio will not only be documentbased, but will also include such things as video clips of the students reading, photos and other items. The students and their teachers will design their portfolios, making it yet another opportunity for learning. Landy said that one of the things that was most interesting to him about the project being done in other schools was that no two portfolio templates were the same. Sorrento Elementary is one of three schools adopting the program at the moment, and the move has already spurred many conver-
sations. Landy said universities are looking at other grading options and, if successful, this program could be the next possible solution. The idea is that the portfolio would follow the students through their learning careers, growing as they do and evolving into some thing new. It will essentially turn into a living docu ment, Landy said.
The portfolios will
be updated regularly
and parents will be
able to access them on-
line by using their own
passwords. Teachers are being given the choice to opt into the new program if they like and not all classrooms will be taking part in the pilot program. Landy says the school is also rely ing heavily on parental opinion as well.

Broken down on the side of the road in Falkland, with her daughter and dog, and truck packed to the brim, is where Alesha Taylor thought her luck had run out. But it was in that small North Okanagan town where the season of giving started for the single mom, a former Vernon resident. And it didn’t end there. Taylor and her daughter, Mattaya, were in the midst of a move from Kelowna to her mom’s house in Kamloops on Dec. 18. It had already been a rough year for the 30-year-old when she was suddenly stranded in the small town of Falkland. Initially, Taylor was lost, trying to hold back the tears as she told her five-year-old daughter that everything was going to be OK – despite the fact that a rod had snapped in her engine. She was just about to give up all hope when a perfect stranger approached her. “Some guy at the gas station let me store the truck for free at his house in Falkland and drove me all the way to Kamloops with my kid, dog and my stuff, as much as they could fit in their car,” said Taylor, forever grateful to the kind stranger. A few days later, with insufficient funds to rescue or fix her

n Alesha Taylor and her daughter Mattaya are enjoying their new truck, donated to help them get around after theirs broke down, through the Rides From Angels group. truck, Taylor reached out for advice on an Okanagan vehicle buy- and-sell group on Facebook. “It was just before Christmas and I had no idea what I was going to do,” said Taylor, suffering from hip pain so unable to walk the onekilometre trek to the nearest bus stop with her daughter. “I was searching for advice, help, anything.” Brian Brown of Penticton saw Taylor’s plea online and as the founder of Rides From Angels – a provincewide group dedicated to connecting people in need with vehicles – he was determined to help. With more than 600 members involved in his group, Brown started to spread the word that there was a single mom out there in need of some assistance.
BANNISTER
By Boxing Day, Taylor was driving a 1991 Ford F150 – generously donated by a Salmon Arm couple who wanted to help. “Everybody came together,” said Taylor. “Perfect strangers came together and now we’re getting around.” She is forever grateful to everyone who helped make her Christmas season merrier, and she too plans to pay it forward. Although money is still tight, she hopes to one day get her own truck fixed and give the truck she was given to someone else in need. Brown admits that aside from spreading the word, Rides From Angels actually played a small role in the truck donation. “A lot of people pitched in and it had very little to do with me on that one,” said
Brown, who has since been in discussion with the generous Salmon Arm couple about starting a chapter of Rides From Angels in the North Okanagan/ Shuswap region. The goal of the group, which is working to become a registered charity, is to issue tax receipts to those who donate vehicles, which can then be turned around and given to people in need, like Taylor. “As long as I get to help someone it makes me feel good,” said Brown, who is admittedly addicted to helping others and paying it forward. “Although I won’t end up a rich man, I’ll end up with lots of people at my funeral.” To become a member of Rides From Angels, search the group on Facebook.

Shuswap’s internationally renowned Chief ShuSwap paSSion Jim Cooperman There are few Shuswap residents that have achieved provincial recognition, and fewer still that have attained either national or international prominence. It has been said that some men seek greatness, others are called upon and some are destined for greatness. It has been said that Chief George Manuel was destined to greatness. Although he passed away in 1989, his legacy of fighting for aboriginal Rights lives on through the Centre for World Indigenous Studies that he helped establish in 1984, where the library is named after him.
Born in 1921 on the Neskonlith Reserve, where he did not hear an English word until he was eight years old, George was shuffled off to the residential school in Kamloops, where, at the age of 12, he contracted tuberculosis and was sent to a hospital near Chilliwack. It is likely that the pain of the illness that left him with a lifetime limp and his recovery time allowed him to develop his mental capabilities. His first job was working as a busboy at the Tranquille Sanatorium, where he met Marceline Paul, a crippled Kootenay Indian who worked in the hospital kitchen. They eventually had six children and he supported them by working at a sawmill. He took his first political stand at age 34. At the advice of his mentor, Andy Paull, he refused to pay for a medical bill as the federal government had brought in an amendment to the In-
dian Act denying health coverage. He began his political career by raising money for the local sports teams and hosting First Nation musicians, including a bass fiddler named Chief Dan George. He became a tireless community organizer, and by 1959 he was elected to succeed Paull as the president of the North American Indian Brotherhood of B.C. Later that year he also became chief of the Neskonlith Band. Manuel showed impressive leadership in his work to deal with the crisis presented by Trudeau’s “white paper” that proposed to dissolve Indian nations and promote the assimilation of Indian people into Canadian society. In 1970, Manuel became the president of the National Indian Brotherhood and used the power and resources of this countrywide organization to success-
fully oppose the white paper. As part of the effort, Manuel travelled to Tanzania, which had achieved independence in 1964 without warfare, to speak with then president Nyerere about how he could provide assistance to Canadian Indians. He was rebuffed and told that he first had to do a better job of organizing Indian communities to determine what they wanted, and once Indigenous peoples achieve their goals, they would become the Fourth World. Inspired by his visit to Africa, in 1974, Manuel co-wrote with Michael Posluns the book, Fourth World: An Indian Reality, a moving narrative of the Canadian Indians and aboriginal peoples everywhere and their struggle for survival. In 1975, George, along with indigenous leaders from across the globe, launched the UN
affiliated World Council of Indigenous Peoples. Manuel became the organization’s first president, a position he held until 1981, and he worked vigorously to ensure that the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People became a reality. Another crisis developed in 1980, when Trudeau’s government was working to patriate the Canadian constitution in such a way that it would remove all aboriginal rights. To counter this initiative, George organized the “Constitutional Express,” trainloads of First Nation leaders that headed to Ottawa where constitutional negotiations were underway. Eventually, they were successful and the First Nations of Canada had their rights entrenched in section 35 of the constitution. Despite enduring progressive heart disease, George continued his efforts to protect aborig-
inal rights throughout the world. But by 1989, his heart finally failed and he was laid to rest on a hillside above the spot where he was born. George received many honours during his life, including being thrice nominated for a Nobel Prize, becoming
an Officer of the Order of Canada and receiving an honorary degree from UBC. Manuel’s sons Arthur and Robert have both served as band council chiefs and his daughter, Vera, became an internationally known playwright and poet.

Help uncover the signs of postpartum depression (NC) After the high of the baby shower, decorating the nursery, and leaving the desk at work, many new mums expect the beginning of motherhood to be a time of joy and discovery with their new baby. Unfortunately for many women, the first few months may be a struggle and it can be difficult to express these feelings when you are surrounded by cooing family and friends. “Postpartum depression affects one in 10 women who have had a child, and can affect any woman, regardless of her age, race, or economic background,” says Dr. Thomas Ungar, chief and medical director of psychology at North York Gen-
eral Hospital. “It does not mean that there is anything wrong with your ability to be a mother.” Dr. Ungar shares some useful information for new mothers, and those close to new mothers, to help identify postpartum depression: Signs and symptoms: • Feelings of sadness or “down”-ness that don’t go away; • Inability to sleep, even when the baby is sleeping; • Inability to concentrate or make decisions; • Lack of interest in the baby, friends and family, or things you used to enjoy; • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, hopelessness or despair; • Fear of being a “bad” mother, or that
others will think you are; • Fear that harm will come to the baby; • Thoughts of harming the baby or of harming yourself;
• Thoughts of death or suicide. Remedies: • Talk to your doctor, family member, or friend about your symptoms as soon as
possible. • Speak with a therapist or counsellor, who can help you cope with your feelings and develop stress reduction techniques. • Join a support group, where you will be able to share your thoughts and feelings in a caring environment. • Let family and friends help with things like housework or watching older children. • Eat regular, balanced meals. • Exercise moderately, (like walking every day). • Express your thoughts and feelings in a journal, and record changes in your moods. • Seek urgent or emergency help if you feel unsafe.
Prevent your loved one from falling at home (NC) Serious fractures, often caused by a fall, are all too common among our elderly population in Canada, and they often lead to a long stay in hospital. It is estimated that each year, one third of seniors living at home experience a fall and 52 per cent of hospital admissions are fallsrelated.
North York General Hospital (NYGH) and Osteoporosis Canada have developed a new way to help prevent recurrent fractures among high-risk patients. They found that patients who had a minor break were more likely to suffer from a hip fracture 10 to 15 years later. “Now that we know
minor fractures indicate a risk of more severe fractures in the future, we are able to focus on prevention and early treatment,” says Dr. Gabriel Chan, director of elder care at NYGH. He suggests remembering the following guidance as his T.I. P.s to avoid trips: T – Tidy up: Maintaining a clutter-free
home and removing tripping hazards can reduce your risk of falls. This may include electrical cords and loose rugs. I – Invisible risk factors: If you have trouble seeing and/or hearing, you are at a higher risk for falls. Talk to your doctor about seeing a specialist such as an audiologist, optom-
etrist or ophthalmologist. P – Physical aides: Having the right assistive devices such as a walker, wheelchair or the right pair of shoes, could significantly reduce your risk of falls, particularly if you have trouble with walking or balance. Talk to your doctor about getting an assessment.

A hopeless wish list for 2014 They need to all right, but what governments want to do is ram it through as fast as they can, so that’s what they do. The last couple of years of this have been a sham worthy of a South American banana republic, with three chambers running simultaneously and opposition members trying to prepare as they run down the hallways. It leads to mistakes in new laws and adds to the public’s cynicism about the whole business, but it gets things done with minimum exposure of the government to criticism. Stephen Harper would approve. A political debate about real issues, rather than just a competition to score points in an endless election campaign. I appreciate that this is hopelessly naive, but setting aside enough time to consider issues could, at least in theory, lead to that happening
BC Views Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – Here are a few things I’d like to see in B.C. political life in the coming year, but won’t. An orderly schedule of legislature sittings, one in the spring and one in the fall. I canvassed this topic with Premier Christy Clark in our year-end interview, and got the usual runaround about how it’s always been optional since old Gordon what’s-his-name set the schedule of sittings and elections more than a decade ago. Spring is for the budget and MLAs sit in the fall if they need to discuss legislation.
Media that care about more than conflict. News organizations are in bad shape these days, and the competition for a rapidly fragmenting audience is having some ugly effects. One thing that needs to go is obsessive coverage of who’s winning and who’s losing. If the news media are going to be interested mainly in the gaffes and gotcha moments, is it any surprise that’s what politicians try to provide? The Canada Post announcement that it has to wind up home delivery offers a recent example. Is it really so outrageous for the CEO to suggest that walking to the corner is good exercise? When there’s a 24-hour news cycle to fill, it’s a scandal! How many people know that Canada Post’s unfunded pension liabilities amount to $6.5 billion, as it con-
occasionally. Certainly the hastily staged mock combat of our legislature today isn’t winning new friends for any political party. The main growth area today is people who have given up on the whole thing. An opposition with ideas. The B.C. NDP will have another leadership contest in 2014, and they’d better bring more modern policy to the table than they had in the last one. Remember the big issues in that pillowfight? Me neither. I had to look them up. Health care? Local organic carrots into the hospital food. Forest industry? A job protection commissar to force the mills to stay open. Resource development? They’re for it, unless you’re against it. These guys need a Tony Blair-type makeover. They need to be for something, and they need to leave the past behind.
tinues to pay a dwindling workforce to hand out mostly advertising flyers? Should they just keep doing that until they run out of cash? Are taxpayers really expected to maintain another two-tier service that’s only available to selected urban people? Facts to go with opinions. Whether it’s the government’s fantasy figures on job creation or the opposition’s arithmetic-challenged child poverty claims, serious problems can’t be understood, much less solved, without defining them accurately. Submitting government advertising to scrutiny by the Auditor General to make sure it is accurate and non-partisan would be a good place to start.

Program aids recovery
Substance abuse: Support for those looking to change. By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
Substance abuse, be it alcohol, illegal drugs or prescription drugs, is a big problem in the Shuswap. And, as the new year is a time people often decide to make healthy changes in their lives, the Mental Health and Substance Use office in Salmon Arm is offering extra support for people who are just starting the recovery process. “They may still have an individual counsellor or be in a 12-step program,” says substance abuse counsellor Jackie Evans. “It’s really hard to address all this information in individual sessions and certainly 12-step does not cover it.” An eight-week program will begin Tuesday, Jan. 14 and run subsequent Tuesdays from 1 to 2:30 p.m. It is expected the program will repeat throughout the year. Meetings will cover the nature of addiction, including why
some people become addicted while others don’t; withdrawal – symptoms and strategies; treatment – plans, long-term recovery, wellness and support groups; relapse prevention; feelings; behavioural strategies; mental health and recovery and skills to maintain recovery. “It’s meant to be educational, to provide additional support in order to help people understand the process they are going through and to gain some practical strategies,” says Evans, who will facilitate the course with Chelsea Braby. “One of the common things is when people who are going through withdrawal become very depressed or anxious,” she says. “They can’t turn off their thoughts, and sometimes it’s just part of withdrawal. They don’t realize it won’t last.” Evans says members of the group will learn about brain chemistry and the adjustment process that has to take

Breathing life into a dying industry Living WELL Like many smokers, Dan wants to quit. He has heard that electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, eCigs or vapour cigarettes, might be helpful. But with all the controversy about them in the news and on the Internet, he isn’t sure. Dan is sceptical, he has noticed e-cigarettes are not just sold in pharmacies like other quit-smoking aids. They can be found at convenience stores and gas stations, often strategically placed near conventional cigarettes. Dan also knows that
tobacco companies are making them and he doesn’t trust that they would make a product to help people quit smoking. Dan also wonders how they can help smokers quit when they look and act like regular cigarettes. He has heard that quitting smoking can be as difficult as quitting heroin but he also knows that when people are trying to quit injecting heroin doctors don’t prescribe a drug delivered through a needle. E-cigarettes are cigarette shaped tubes that simulate the sensation
of smoking. Batteries in the tubes heat up a fluid filled cartridge that gives off a vapour which looks like smoke. Although the jury is still out on e-cigarettes, there are health and safety concerns that Dan should be aware of. Health Canada recently advised Canadians not to purchase electronic cigarettes because they have not been fully evaluated for safety. There are concerns that electronic cigarettes may make smoking socially acceptable again, especially if used in smoke free places. Because e-cigarettes release a vapour and not smoke, there are currently very few rules about where they can and can’t be used. The result is e-
cigarettes being used in places where smoking has been banned like classrooms, pubs and shopping malls. E-cigarettes might encourage young people to start smoking. In Canada, e-cigarettes cannot contain nicotine but they can contain kid-friendly flavours ranging from bacon to bubble gum. Flavouring that could encourage youth to smoke e-cigarettes as well as real tobacco products. Dan decides e-cigarettes are not worth the risk. Instead, he plans to talk with his healthcare professional and visit quitnow.ca for tips, tools and support.

Emergency response groups get financial boost Three local groups that work hard to keep the public safe are being recognized with community gaming grants totaling $86,500. Organizations receiving grants include: Shuswap Volunteer Search & Rescue Society based in Salmon Arm for $43,000, the Shuswap Lifeboat Society, based in Sicamous for $28,500 and
the South Shuswap First Responders Association, based in Blind Bay for $15,000 “Shuswap residents love their outdoor activities, and it’s reassuring to know these groups are there to lend a hand in times of danger,” says Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. “I’d like to thank all of the dedicated volunteers who often risk their own safety to
protect others.” These grants are awarded under the Public Safety category of the Community Gaming Grant Program, which allows non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues. Gaming Grants are also awarded in the categories of Sport, Human and Social Services, Environment,
and Arts and Culture. In the 2012/13 fiscal year, the B.C. government distributed a total of $135 million in gaming grants for eligible community programs and services. For organizations interested in applying for Community Gaming Grants, full application information can be found at www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/gaming.

Olympic gold medallist to ski 30th annual loppet
Trail Tales Marcia beckner Those of you of a ‘certain age’ will recall the excitement in Canada when the Canadian four-man bobsled team won gold at the 1964 Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. Vic Emery, the driver, became a household name among Olympic enthusiasts. Vic went on to become the assistant chef de mission with the Canadian Olympic team at Grenoble in 1968 which is where I got to know him. We lost touch but in 2001 when Jim and I were at the Canadian Ski Marathon in Quebec we found ourselves in Vic’s company, reconnected, and have had many ski adventures since – notably the Rajallta Rajalle Hiito weeklong ski across Finland at the
Arctic Circle, and the weeklong Canadian Masters Cross-Country Ski Championships in Whitehorse. After many years of urging him to attend the Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet, Vic has finally found it possible to take in our event – to celebrate our 30th with us. At 80 he is still a fierce competitor and is looking forward to the challenge of the 34-kilometre race. So thrilled to have this Olympic gold medallist with us. The Reino KeskiSalmi Loppet is set to go on Saturday, Jan. 18. With the spectacular ski conditions we have had so far this season, it is ramping up to be another wonderful loppet weekend. Distances for every age and stage. Go to the Larch Hills website, www. skilarchhills.ca and check out the loppet link. One can enter the loppet there or go to one of the local ski shops and enter via printed entry form. We are so blessed to have a community of volunteers willing to

This is the loppet’s 30th annual and there is but one skier who has skied all 30. Gullan Hansen has made it her goal to get to 30 and it looks like she’ll do it! Congrats to this plucky lady! The Lantern Ski last weekend was a grand success with more than 900 folks taking in the magic of five kilometres of lanterns and a trail of candle bags plus the annual candle-lit tree on Metford Road. Thanks to organizer Ron Lawrence and his crew of volunteers for
the memorable evening. The Sochi Olympics are less than a month away and to this end Cross Country Canada is holding its Olympic Trials in Canmore this weekend.

It was quite touching when, just the other day, I was given a cheque by one of my annual faithful donors and upon looking at it, I saw that it was twice the amount he has traditionally given. In explanation he said that his wife has benefited from HSF research in the management of her heart condition. Then he thanked me for the many years of fundraising for the cause which has benefited so many. Nice to hear those warm sentiments. Last Saturday, 29 skiers set out from the chalet to ski the Four Corners of the Larch Hills trail system. Brilliant sun, fabulous snow, great view from the summit. Wow!

Chase Search for doctors expands By Cavelle Layes
MARKET NEWS STAff
A Chase doctor has taken matters into his own hands, in an attempt to bring better health service to the area. Chase has had an ongoing problem attracting and retaining doctors. Many forms of recruitment have been tried, with the Interior Health Authority and even village council heading the process. Yet each time a doctor would come to the area, they would move on when their contract was complete. This time, things will be different, however, or at least that is what Chase resident, Lynne Moyer, thinks. Moyer has been involved with the local recruiting for more than six years, and while she has seen a lot, she has never seen a doctor step forward to find a solution to the problem. Dr. Cornel Barnard has been trying on his own to recruit other doctors to the area, following leads across the country and even around the world. Barnard said that he did everything he could think of, but when Dr. Sandeep Sharma moved on, he became
much busier taking on extra patients. This left little time to successfully work on recruiting. Instead of giving up, Bernard has formed a task force compiled of local residents. He notes that residents have a vested interest in the success of the local health care. Moyer, a member of the task force, is feeling positive. “I myself feel very optimistic for the doctor situation in Chase. I don’t think we have ever been in such a positive position to recruit before,” she said. Not only does she have a doctor onboard who is ensuring success, but she also says the switch from a primary care structure to a private structure will make a huge difference as well. While under the primary structure, doctors did not need to worry about staffing costs or other overhead because they were paid salary. They could just show up and treat patients. While in some aspects this structure is much easier on doctors, in other ways it can be a negative. Bernard notes that in a private practice he is able to set his own hours, so if he decides to work until eight at

There is also potential to make more money than possible in a primary system, and it is much easier to micromanage the practice when it is the doctor who is in control, he says. Bernard acknowledges there is a widespread physician shortage, but he believes Chase has so much to offer that it will and can sell itself. Chase has an on-site lab, X-ray, home care nurse, diabetic nurse, dietitian, respiratory tech, multiple counsellors, and two full-time and one part-time nurse, and a long-standing nurse practitioner, among many other assets. “For doctors, that is
a big thing,” Bernard said, noting that the Chase clinic has a lot compared even to some Kamloops clinics. While he admits that being a rural doctor takes a different mindset than being a big city doctor, or even those in Kamloops, he also says he gets to do many things a city doctor would not. Because there are only two doctors in Chase, Bernard has encountered many different situations and handle different emergencies he might not have otherwise. However, when emergencies do happen and help is needed quickly, it’s up to him and the nurses. Bernard believes the close-knit relationships

Trial into boat crash postponed By Martha Wickett
market news staff
Yet another postponement in the court case involving a fatal boat crash on Shuswap Lake in 2010. Leon Michael Reinbrecht of Celista stands charged with criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm, following a crash in Magna Bay on July 3, 2010 that left an 18-foot Campion Runabout speedboat driven by Reinbrecht fully embedded inside the cabin of a houseboat. Although the trial was initially set for September 2013, it was pushed back to January in order for the defendant to try to secure legal aid funding. Then, in a court appearance on Nov. 26
in Kamloops, Reinbrecht’s lawyer indicated he would no longer be the defence counsel. Although a start date of Jan. 6 had been set previously for the trial that is expected to take five to six weeks, the case will now return to the courts on Jan. 20. That will accommodate the appearance of a new defence lawyer and the setting of a new trial date. The owner and operator of the houseboat, 53-year-old Kenneth William (Kenny) Brown of Chase was killed in the crash. Eight other people were taken to hospital in Kamloops, where two remained for treatment and six were released the next day. Reinbrecht, in his early fifties, was charged in Decem-

Continued from B3 best work with the patient load that exists in Sharma’s absence. Moyer also points out that the Chase clinic not only serves Chase, but surrounding areas as well, including local First Nations bands, Falkland, Turtle Valley and other areas. She also worries about what might happen after the impending retirement of two Shuswap doctors. Len Mclean is also a member of the recruitment task force. Mclean has been brainstorming ideas that reach outside of the efforts already taken. They have taken out ads and submitted articles to major medical journals and magazines, and have looked to the Eastern medical schools for potential interest. While these efforts continue, Mclean said residents are now being

Vehicle fire investigated Over the Christmas season, Chase RCMP set up numerous road safety check stops. Officers investigated a total of seven impaired driving incidents between Dec. 21 and Jan. 7. This included both criminal code and immediate roadside prohibitions. During the same
rcmp R E P O RT period, Chase RCMP also responded to four highway collisions, none with serious injuries. Officers also received a call regarding
a suspicious vehicle fire last weekend. In the early morning hours of Jan. 5, Chase RCMP were dispatched to a vehicle fire on Foothills Road in Chase. Upon arrival they found a 1994 blue Mazda fully engulfed in flames. The vehicle owner
said the car had been stolen overnight, and police are continuing to investigate this matter as a suspected arson. Chase RCMP ask that anyone with information about this vehicle theft and fire call the detachment at 250-679-3221 or Crime Stoppers. shaRON ThIBOdeaU phOTO

New year starts with split By Scott Koch CONTRIBUTOR
After a holiday season break of nine days, the Heat got back on the hard water Friday, Jan. 3 versus the Eagles in Sicamous. Clearly Mom’s good cooking at Christmas had an impact as the home side took a 4-3 victory. Kaleb Boyle led the Heat with two goals and an as-
sist – one shorthanded marker in the 1st and a power-play goal in the 3rd. Connor Venne got the other goal in the 3rd on the power play. Jake Mattes faced 44 shots in goal. On Sunday the 5th the same two teams battled at Art Holding Memorial Arena. Mattes faced 38 in front of 196 fans. Jared Anderson led scoring with two even-strength

goals, one in the 1st and one in the 3rd. Cody Koskimaki popped one in during the 2nd and Chad Wilde rounded things out in the 3rd. Next up are the 100 Mile House Wranglers on Saturday night, Jan. 11. The Heat, with a victory on the weekend, while the Wranglers lost three, jumped into second place in the division with 18 wins and 38 points.
