Baby bounces back after transplant By Martha Wickett

MaRkEt NEWS Staff

For the Hutchinson family, their lives have been turned upside down and back again. “It’s just a brand new world,” says Teri Hutchinson, mother of Baby Britton who underwent a heart transplant on Sept. 3. Britton was born on May 13 of this year with a rare congenital heart defect called pulmonary artesia, meaning the right ventricle of her heart did not develop normally. Because her parents Colin and Teri knew of her condition before she was born, they travelled to the Stollery Children’s Hospital in

Edmonton where Britton could receive specialized cardiac care. When it was discovered that corrective surgery would be too risky for her, she was put on the transplant list. Her parents had no idea how long they might have to wait. “It was in the beginning the worst case scenario to us, something you don’t even want to consider,” Teri told the News Monday. “Now to see how well she’s doing, it’s incredible, it’s definitely the best route for her.” They received the call they’d been waiting for on Sept. 2.

Family grateful for support Continued from front “We were at the hospital, because we’d been admitted at the hospital all summer. We were just packing up to go for a five-hour pass for the day.” Less than 12 hours later, Britton was undergoing surgery. Wrote Teri on Facebook on Sept. 4: “The transplant and surgical teams worked through the night performing the miraculous procedure. The healthy new heart seems to be a very good fit and everyone involved is over the moon with how well she is doing. The heart could not have come at a more brilliant time, as little did anyone know Britton’s shunt was clotting again and her stats were dropping moments before the surgery began! Words cannot explain our feelings and emotions at this time. We are overwhelmed and excited as a weight has been lifted. “Britton’s colour is like night and day and she looks like a whole new baby already,” she says. “She was extubated less than 11 hours post surgery and her lungs have been working

on their own perfectly ever since.” Britton’s speedy recovery hasn’t slowed down. On Thursday, Sept. 17, two weeks to the day from her transplant surgery, she was released from hospital. She and her parents and big sister Ayla must remain in Edmonton, however. “It’s a crazy new life – we still have to be in Edmonton for quite some time,” Teri says, explaining there are medical appointments every day and blood work to be done. “They have to see that the anti-rejection medication is stabilizing.” The family must take extra precautions so that Britton can be protected from infections and viruses. She said if anyone is at all under the weather, they can’t be allowed to visit. “She could be readmitted in the first couple of years to get rehydrated to catch up on fluids. She is always at risk, she has a suppressed immune system for the rest of her life.” And the heart won’t last forever, Teri says. “The thing that’s hard for people to understand, myself included, is it isn’t a cure. A good heart

should last her around 20 years, that’s what the statistics are for pediatric transplants,” she says, noting the stats are from 20 years ago. “Medicine has come a long way since then… It will get her a lot further than her old sick

couldn’t imagine going through this alone,” Teri says, adding that the family is still getting cards from people they’ve never met. They will continue to be grateful for all the support, and for their baby’s good health. “She’s a thriving normal four-month-old baby right now,” says Teri. “If you walked past her on the street you’d never know.” Nikki Stelmak, a close friend of the Hutchinsons, has been overseeing fundraising efforts and providing updates.

CSRD pursues parcel tax

Approval process: Watershed council funding sought. By Barb Brouwer

Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors had to move fast at the Sept. 17 board meeting. The regional district was running out of time in getting approval for the amended Shuswap Watershed Council Service Establishment bylaw by Sept. 30 from the province’s Inspector of Municipalities. At the Aug. 20 meeting, directors gave third reading to the bylaw, and agreed on the alternative approval process to get elector assent on the $180,000

required to fund the council, to be paid in a parcel tax by Area C South Shuswap, D Falkland/Silver Creek/ Salmon Valley, E Rural Sicamous, District of Sicamous and Area F North Shuswap property owners. If 10 per cent or more of the eligible electors sign and submit response forms noting their opposition, local governments cannot proceed with the proposed matter without first holding a vote. In order to get the service established in 2016, elector response must be received by CSRD no later than 4

p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17. At the Sept. 17 board meeting, South Shuswap director Paul Demenok expressed his concern about the wording of the proposed Elector Response form that directors were being asked to approve. Instead of the total, Demenok asked that individual parcel tax amounts be included as $180,000 figure might scare people. “I am not sure that’s permitted under the Local Government Act,” responded Jodi Pierce, manager of financial services. “If it doesn’t get approved today it

would be pushed back to the next meeting and then the clock starts again.” That means there would have to be another report to the board for directors to approve the process. “Once CSRD has approval from the inspector, and only then, can we advertise that we are holding an alternative approval process…Then there needs to be 30 clear days from the date of the last advertisement in which the public has time to register their opposition by way of the approved form,” says Pierce.

A boy died after becoming trapped under an ATV on a rural property in Celista. On Sept. 12, Chase RCMP responded to assist BC Ambulance on Meadow Creek Road.

Two friends, aged nine and 10-years-old, were riding an ATV when the machine flipped, trapping both boys under the machine. The boys were rescued by the older brother of

the driver, who brought the boys to the farm yard. The boy who was driving was airlifted to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, and subsequently moved to BC Children’s Hospital,

where he died the following day. The ATV passenger suffered only some bruising. BC Coroners Service is continuing their investigation.

More delays for trial verdict By Tim Petruk

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The man accused of operating a speedboat recklessly on Shuswap Lake in 2010, striking a houseboat and killing its driver, will have to wait another month to learn his fate. Leon Reinbrecht is charged with criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. He was charged after a July 3, 2010, crash on Magna Bay that took the life of houseboat driver Ken Brown. Nearly five years later, his trial began in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. Multiple witnesses testified about having seen a speedboat being driven erratically on the busy lake in the moments leading up to the nighttime crash, which followed a post-Canada Day fireworks display. Defence lawyers poked holes in the Crown case by repeatedly focusing their questioning on whether the houseboat was properly lit. Police admitted in court they failed to check to determine if one of the houseboat’s lighting systems was functioning. An expert witness for the defence testified the lighting system was not working at the time of the crash. He also raised multiple questions about the police investigation into the incident. At one point during the trial, a police investigator contacted

n A speedboat, which was driven by Leon Reinbrecht, sits embedded inside a houseboat after a collision. the expert witness’ employer, the Canadian Coast Guard, in an apparent attempt to stop him from testifying. Toxicology reports showed Brown was impaired at the time of his death. The Crown put forward no evidence about whether Reinbrecht was intoxicated, but a witness who was on the speedboat at the time of the crash said Reinbrecht had been drinking. In his closing argument in June, defence lawyer Joe Doyle compared Brown to a driver on a highway without headlights. “This is running into an unlit vessel that’s moving, that should have had its lights on,” Doyle said. “He [Brown] shouldn’t have been out there.” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan had been slated to deliver her verdict on Wednesday, but that has now been pushed back to Oct. 21.

Doctor shortage a provincial issue

For many communities having enough doctors continues to be a struggle and the impact is being felt by many Canadians. Canadians have had it pretty good when it comes to health care, and reports continue to focus on how our public health care is becoming increasingly costly and overburdened. Whether the shortage of family doctors is a cause or a symptom is hard to tell. We can also look at family doctors and medical specialists being poached from other jurisdictions, usually in the U.S., with offers of significantly higher wages, bonuses and the lure of living in a major city. There is also the fact that provinces throughout Canada, including here in B.C., have done their best to lowball doctors whenever talks about pay and compensation come up. The shortage of doctors in some parts of Canada, usually quite remote, is considered serious. Some areas have no family doctors and see challenges in staffing hospitals. And while the mid-Island offers a great lifestyle, climate, recreation and much more that may draw more doctors, there is obviously more at play here. After a shortage of medical graduates, many new doctors are also moving away from family practice, seeking specialization and wanting to remain in larger centres. There is also a shift in the medical culture, documented several years ago, in which a large number of new doctors are now women. Many are having families and are not about to engage in the old system in which work — with lots of grinding hours — comes first. While Island Health does its best at recruitment, the province has to make sure health-care funding is adequate to support such efforts. –Nanaimo Daily News

OPINION

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.

Wolf cull may have reverse effect The BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations announced in a statement dated Jan. 15, 2015 that they were initiating a “cull” of some 120 to 160 grey wolves from a pack located in the South Peace region of B.C. and another 24 from a pack in the South Selkirk Mountains. According to the statement, the planned cull will be conducted by ministry staff, who will shoot the wolves from helicopters, in order to protect dwindling herds of local mountain caribou under threat from the wolves. “The South Selkirk herd is at high risk of local extinction,” says the ministry. “The population has declined from 46 caribou in 2009 to 27 in 2012 and to 18 as of March 2014. Evidence points to wolves being the leading cause of mortality.” Wolves are similarly responsible for the decline of caribou herds in the South Peace region where an estimated 37 pre cent of all adult mortalities have been documented as wolf predation.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray The statement goes on to say that “hunting and trapping of wolves have not effectively reduced (wolf) populations and may even split up packs and increase predation rates on caribou. Habitat recovery continues to be an important part of caribou recovery, but cannot address the critical needs of these herds in the short term.” In another Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations statement, assistant deputy minister Tom Ethier notes the province believes caribou are a valuable part of the natural ecosystem and should not be left to slowly die out. He goes on to say other recovery efforts, in-

cluding habitat protection and restoration, are already in place to help the caribou, “but if we wait for these measures to have an impact it will be too late.” While the peer-reviewed Wolf Management Plan, released in April 2014, outlined the need for a targeted wolf cull, wolf researcher and director of the Ontario based Wolf Awareness foundation, Sadie Parr says that the planned cull is “unscientific and flawed.” Parr says wolves are social animals, and killing them will fracture existing groups. Many would move on to breed and form other packs, thereby increasing the wolf population and subsequently, put even more pressure on caribou herds In another January 2015 press release, B.C. based Pacific Wild states, “Decades of habitat destruction and human encroachment have left B.C.’s mountain caribou on the edge of survival. Instead of protecting critical food and habit for the caribou, such as the lichen-rich Interior forests,

the B.C. government is now blaming the wolves.” The group also points out winter-based, motorized activity is another major factor in the decline of caribou herds in the Selkirk Mountains. “Traditionally, deep snow would provide security from wolves, but the tracks made by these vehicles allow wolves easy access to caribou.” The way I see it, expecting wolves not to predate on caribou grazing in there back yard is sort of like cooking up pork chops, setting them a plate on the kitchen table, leaving the room and telling the dog not to touch them. The wolf cull, not unlike the plate of pork chops, amounts to a lack of reasoning, coupled with a lack of understanding, combined with a natural instinct to eat food that’s sitting right there in front of you. What you have left to chew on is pretty much a no-win situation. The above was originally published in the Jan. 30, 2015 Shuswap Market News.

VIEW POINT

Compromise, not threats, needed Could the City of Salmon Arm find a way to accommodate Mr. Lank’s interest in helping to keep a city park

clean instead of threatening him? I believe so. Surely a compromise could be reached if one was sought.

Now I am not advocating that all able seniors who are upset by the treatment that Mr. Lank received from the

city meet at McGuire Park on Sunday afternoon around 1 p.m. with their garbage bags and pruning shears...

But I would certainly understand if they decided to do so.

splitting. There are a great number of retired couples in Canada living only on pension income. There is no way

they are “rich.” Usually the major pension income is registered to one of the couples. Income splitting for

tax purposes is one break we get in all fairness. Have either of these guys ever defined

Canada should not compromise on niqab issue One of my most painful decisions is to agree with Stephen Harper because I am at odds with almost all his policies. However, to cover or not to cover is the question. In Canada the only reason one might need to cover a face is to protect it from frostbite

during severe winter weather. Women don’t cover their faces in Canada unless they are criminals and hiding from the law. For someone who is attempting to become a Canadian citizen to demand covering her face is outrageous. Why would a genu-

ine refugee try imposing the rules of the country from which she allegedly fled? If refugees are truly seeking a better life in a new land then it should be reasonable for them to adapt to new customs not for that new county to conform to theirs. Canada’s constitu-

SOUTH SHUSWAP Community halls get upgrades By Barb Brouwer

The Sorrento Memorial Hall Association has been given a hand-up with renovations from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District. At the Sept. 17 board meeting in Salmon Arm, directors approved $26,606 plus applicable taxes from the Electoral Area C Community Works Fund for the upgrades. The renovations include installing low-flow toilets and replacing the tar-andgravel roof with torchon-membrane roofing. The upgrade will make the hall more energy efficient for

community functions and qualifies for gas tax funding. At the same meeting, directors also approved grants in aid to the hall in the amount of $1,200 for a newsletter, and another $6,500 to paint the hall and install soundproof doors. Area C director Paul Demenok asked for directors support, noting “the community has done a wonderful job of restoring the hall, which is used for various functions.” The Sorrento Memorial Hall Association will ensure application of Community Works Funds (CWF) will only be applied to eligible gas tax proj-

ects in accordance with the CWF Agreement. The regional district will enter into an agreement with the

Sorrento Memorial Hall Association that transfers CSRD obligations on ownership and reporting to the association. “The association

will need to maintain records, provide access to auditors, spend funding on eligible costs of eligible projects and report to the CSRD on outcomes achieved, etc,” noted Jodi Pierce, manager of financial services in her report to the board. Notch Hill Hall will also be getting upgrades. Directors approved $9,950.50 plus applicable taxes from the Electoral Area C Community Works Fund to install LED energy-efficient pot lighting. The balance of the Area C Community Works Fund (Gas Tax) is $1,093,000 after 2015 approved com-

Mixing with other leaders UBCM: Mayor and council lobbying B.C. ministers. By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Zebra and quagga Mussels were expected to be on the menu when members of Salmon Arm council met with Steve Thomson, provincial Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources. Though no molluscs were to be consumed, council was hunting for answers on what is being done to ensure the invasive species is stopped from entering B.C. lakes. “We need more information and public education, but also inspection sites,” said Mayor Nancy Cooper before heading off to this week’s annual Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver. Thomson was one of three ministers who members of council

were scheduled to meet at the conference. Council had an appointment with Minister of Advanced Education Andrew Wilkinson to discuss Okanagan College’s proposed Learning Centre for Agriculture and its Downtown Community Campus. Cooper said the main purpose was to give the minister an update on how planning is progressing. The other minister on the list was Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. On the agenda was the highway at the west end of town and the Salmon River Bridge. Cooper said council was planning to encourage the ministry to keep working on upgrades. Cooper said she would attend the convention for all five days,

as would Couns. Louise Wallace Richmond, Tim Lavery, Chad Eliason and Kevin Flynn. Coun. Ken Jamieson was planning to attend for a couple of days and

Mayor Nancy Cooper Coun. Alan Harrison wouldn’t be going, she said. Also attending was the city’s chief administrative officer, Carl Bannister. “If we want to know where he is, he’s at the resolutions,” Cooper said. Along with meeting with ministers, attending workshops and

conversing with other municipal leaders, council would be paying attention to some of the 218 resolutions being presented. Resolutions sponsored by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District focused on upgrading of critical accident zones on highways, the funding formula for public education and funding for nurse practitioners. Cooper said they would also be paying attention to resolutions of provincial interest that are shared locally, such as ownership of rail corridors, the province’s BC Transit funding freeze, sustaining clean water sources and rail crossing safety regulations.

A 40-year-old Salmon Arm man was flown by air ambulance to Kelowna hospital after his truck went off the road on 50th Avenue SW. On Sept. 21 at 9 a.m., police responded to a single-vehicle accident where an F350 slid off the road, hitting a raised driveway. This caused it to flip and roll a couple of times through a fence. The man was ejected from the truck and suffered serious injuries. Police continue to investigate the incident.

Multi award-winning Canadian comic Brent Butt is a happy guy who will share his hilarious take on life at the Salmar Classic on Monday, Oct. 5. “I always try to look at the bright side; it’s always been my default setting,” says the creator of the wildly popular sitcom Corner Gas, who finds many things funny. “I’m a pretty eclectic guy with a diverse taste in comedy – goofy things, physical things, word-subtle – anything that kind of catches me off guard with a smart, clever twist.” Eclectic comedy was the hallmark of Corner Gas, which ran from 2004 to 2009 in the sleepy town of Dog River, Sask. “We didn’t really censure what kind of comedy we were gonna do; if the writers came up with a funny word joke or something physical, we included it,” he says, pointing out it didn’t matter if it was broad or subtle – if it was funny, he wanted to find a place to put it in the show. “Authenticity is the key to everything, especially comedy. Corner Gas took

home three Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television awards, two Geminis and several Canadian Comedy Awards for Television. Asked why he thinks the show became a worldwide sensation, Butt says when the writers and stellar cast were first making Corner Gas, they assumed it would be a fun summer – end of story. Whenever the show went on hiatus, Butt was back on the road doing stand-up routines, something that earned him the Canadian Comedy Award for Live/Best Male Standup. “Stand-up has always been my thing; the thing I wanted to do from the time I was 13 and before Corner Gas came up,” he says. “I don’t know why but it’s where I feel the most at home. For whatever reason, it’s the place I feel most myself. It’s the other 23 hours a day I don’t know what I am meant to be doing.” Inspiration comes at many times and in many places so Butt has learned to carry a small notebook in which he jots down ideas. “I shudder to think of the times I didn’t write it down,” he says noting that over his long and successful stand-up

run, his eyes and ears have become trained to differentiate between

Comedian Brent Butt what will work and what won’t. Butt says each show

is fresh thanks to the changing audience dynamics. “When you get hundreds of people in the same room, there’s no way for it to be the same every time,” he says. “You have to think on your feet; there’s no way to not be present. That’s one of the things I love about it.” Comedian Jamie Hutchinson will be Butt’s special guest. Tickets are available at the Salmar Grand and Classic theatres.

Family mealtimes well worth making the effort

HEALTHY BITES Serena Caner I remember coming home one night to a demoralized father and a hysterical daughter. My daughter loves pancakes, so for supper that night, my husband thought he would make crepes for a special

treat (a big deal coming from a man who does not love to cook). He had even made a spinach and cheese filling and béchamel sauce on the side. My daughter took one look, burst into tears and refused to take a single bite. Eating together as a family is not always a joyful experience. However, from a very young age, meals and emotions are linked together in an inseparable process. For children, they can help provide a sense of safety and nurturing within the family environment.

The importance of eating together has many other documented benefits including: better nutrition, better performance at school and reduced high-risk behaviours (such as drugs and eating disorders). While most of us would agree that family meals are important, with busy work and extracurricular schedules, it can be hard to find this time together. Luckily, a family meal does not have to include every member of the family and does not have to hap-

pen around the kitchen table. In most of the research done, the “family meal” was defined as two or more people eating together, not in front of the television. Here are some ideas to make meals together easier: • Prepare for meals in advance. If you are rushed for time, do not plan a fancy meal. • Try to involve children in food preparation and clean up; the aim is to create positive associations with preparing food, rather than displaying it as a “chore.”

Royal Canadian Legion #62

• If suppertime is too busy, try eating breakfast together instead. If weekdays are too hectic, focus first of weekend meals. • During meals, turn off the TV and the ringer on your phone. Try speak to family members about their day instead. • If you are picking up fast food, either eat at the restaurant or bring it home, don’t eat in the car. • Realize that mealtime chaos is very normal in our culture. All you can do is try your best!

RDNO report Hike for Hospice event tailored to birders to address concerns Shuswap Hospice Society is celebrating the participation of registered walkers in their Step Up for Hos-

By Richard Rolke black Press

Regional District of North Okanagan officials say there’s a need to set the record straight about a proposed Shuswap River boat ban. On Wednesday, the board instructed staff to prepare a summary of events leading up to the establishment of the Shuswap River watershed sustainability plan and consideration of boating regulations. “There are questions as to how we got to the regulations,” said director Juliette Cunningham. “We are getting emails all of the time.” There has been considerable public debate about possibly prohibiting motorized vessels from south Mabel Lake upstream to Shuswap Falls, and from Trinity Valley Road upstream to the eastern end of Skookumchuck Rapids Park. It’s also suggested there be a vessel engine size limit of 10 horsepower from Mara Lake upstream to Trinity Valley Road. RDNO’s intent is to improve recreational safety, reduce bank erosion, reduce disturbance to salmon spawning grounds and minimize conflicts between river users. However, some residents have accused

the regional district of unfairly moving ahead with a process that will restrict access to the river, and particularly for those who own waterfront. Director Bob Fleming supports the report outlining RDNO’s actions. “People say there’s a lack of consultation but it will show the consultation,” he said.

Herman Halvorson, who is director for much of the Shuswap River area, requested that a summary report be developed. “A lot of people are unfamiliar with the process,” he said, adding that RDNO first looked at boating regulations in 1992. “We want everyone to know why it started.” If RDNO continues to proceed with the proposed regulations, the federal government would make the final decision on whether they are implemented.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Prepare your skin now for the colder months (NC) Cold and dry air takes a toll on our skin. Right now, prepare your skin for winter by following the Canadian Health Food Association’s (CHFA) tips on how you can nourish it from within. Did you know that our internal health is just as important to the skin’s condition as what we put on its surface? A balanced diet, which includes certain key nutrients, will add vibrancy to your complexion and help you nourish your skin from the inside out. The first and most commonly cited vitamin for skin health is vitamin C. There is no doubt vitamin C plays an important role in healthy, vibrant skin, as it is essential for the formation of collagen. Extensive research has shown benefits of both topical applications and adequate intake of vitamin C through a balanced diet or supplementation. This helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improves skin texture and strength. Many of these benefits are a result of the role vitamin C plays in collagen production.

A lesser-known nutrient that also boasts benefits for skin health is vitamin B3. This essential nutrient plays many roles in the body, including repairing damaged DNA. Numerous studies have also found that topical application of vitamin B3 can improve the appearance of age

spots, reduce wrinkles and improve skin elasticity. Another common nutrient is vitamin A, one that is most important for the healthy growth of new cells. Vitamin A is often found in anti-acne skin care products, as it is one of the first-line approaches for stimulating collagen production in the skin, promoting

strong connective tissue and, in turn, producing fuller, healthier skin. Since vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, it is recommended that you speak first with your health care practitioner to ensure you are getting the right dose from diet, natural health products, and from topical applications. Spirulina is a bluegreen algae superstar that is often found in tablet form or as an ingredient in powder supplements, like Greens. As a natural health product, spirulina plantensis is high in protein, vitamins and antioxidants – and it’s considered a superstar. When it comes to skin, research has shown that supplementing with spirulina lessens inflammation after UV exposure and helps with its longterm health, while promoting a healthy glow. There are so many choices for skin care. Speak with a natural health care practitioner about which products would be best for you. Visit chfa.ca for more tips on healthy living and to find your closest CHFA member health food store.

The top four vitamins that every child needs (NC) A top priority for many parents is ensuring that their children get the necessary vitamins and nutrients to lead a healthy and active life. However, picky eating habits, lack of resources and busy lifestyles can result in many children not getting the proper nutrients they need to thrive. Here is a list of the top four vitamins that every child needs: Vitamin C Vitamin C is best known for its role in preventing viral infections. For kids heading back to school, this immune system booster is crucial in the fall and winter months and is a great way to treat and

prevent the common cold that will likely be going around their classroom. Potassium A potassium-rich diet helps ensure normal heart and muscle function, maintains fluid balance, and participates in energy production. Diets that include foods with high levels of potassium such as bananas, sweet potatoes and avocados, can also help to prevent high blood pressure in adults. Vitamin D For kids who will be spending all day in a classroom, vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin might not be as accessible as it was in the summer. Vitamin D has been long

recognized as a bone building ally to assist in the absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus. Getting enough vitamin D as a child sets a crucial foundation for strong bone health as we age. Omega-3s Unless your child is eating two or more servings a week of fatty fish (salmon, sardines, tuna), they are likely lacking the essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, that are critical for development and healthy function of the eyes, brain and nervous system. Try a supplement that is specially formulated for children, like Jamieson’s Omega-3 Kids Gummies for a tasty way for children

to receive the essential fatty acids necessary for healthy growth. Though Canadians have access to the foods with these essential vitamins, not all kids around the world have that luxury. Jamieson Vitamins has partnered with Vitamin Angels, a non-profit organization helping at-risk populations gain access to life changing vitamins and minerals. The company’s Share the Health campaign will provide 500,000 children worldwide with supplements of vitamin A, a nutrient crucial for healthy childhood development.

Montessori option now under review The school board has formed a committee to consider the possibility of bringing a Montessori program to the school district for future years. This option for learning was highly supported by the Parent Advisory Council of Silver Creek Elementary, which faced closure for this school year. It was felt the Montessori learning option would attract new students to the school which, at the end of last year, had only 36 students. The board voted against the closure in May, but has not yet agreed to implement Montessori at that school. At the board meeting, Bobbi Johnson, board chair, indicated the report will look at the viability of Montessori in the school district, but does not necessarily mean such a program would automatically be considered for Silver Creek Elementary. Another school could be determined as a more suitable site. The committee will be comprised of: Jennifer Findlay, Early Learning Co-ordinator, Jodi van der Meer, principal, Kirsten Mazur, principal, a PAC nominated parent rep, a NOSTA nominated teacher rep, school trustee Michel Saab and Carl Cooper, Director of Instruction.

Getting active is good for you The benefits of physical activity have been proven in study after study, helping to reduce the risk of disease while improving mental and emotional health as well. The Early Years 0-4 Regular physical activity is an essential part of early childhood growth and development. Being active several times a day as an infant (less than one year) and for at least 180 minutes throughout the day from age one to four years can help young kids: • Maintain a healthy body weight • Improve movement skills • Increase fitness • Build healthy hearts • Have fun and feel happy

encourages schools to use a multi-pronged approach to create a healthy school environment. These include: creating school environments that are safe and caring, teaching and learning that encourages information-seeking and problem-solving, creating and enforcing school policies that encourage appropriate behaviour, and connecting with community. Supportive school environments encourage youth to stay in school, graduate from high school, and give them a better chance at post-secondary education. Healthy schools are like a nutrient-rich

nourishing our children. Along with learning the basics like reading and mathematics, schools provide lessons about respecting the differences in others, acting in a responsible and caring fashion, and they teach strategies to help children thrive in our ever-changing world. Schools that promote a sense of belonging see both positive academic and health-related outcomes. The good news is that currently the majority of B.C. students are happy to be at school

Any gardener will tell you that watching plants flourish through the summer is a rewarding experience and gives a great sense of accomplishment. Healthy plants require a good foundation, strong roots, and regular tending. Children are very similar – for them to flourish they need healthy environments, strong connections to family, and adults in their lives who show they care! Classrooms and school grounds, where students spend at least 25 hours a week, are a great environment for

and feel safe there. According to the BC Adolescent Health Survey, students who reported feeling connected at school were more likely to describe their mental health as good or excellent and were more likely to see themselves continuing their education beyond high school. Students who had an adult in their family they trusted if faced with a serious problem were also more likely to describe their mental health as good or excellent and were more likely to have postsecondary education plans. Approachable adults contribute to a healthy environment! Healthy Schools BC

Chief, Heat alumni battle By Scott Koch CONTRIBUTOR

For those out there who wish to learn some local hockey history, the Chiefs from Kelowna were the Chase Chiefs for three years prior to transferring to the Okanagan Mecca. From the ashes of old, the Heat arose as a new local franchise and are enjoying their fifth season in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. This past weekend the Heat travelled on Friday the 18th to the Little Apple to take on the Chiefs. This clearly was Pancake Night at the Rutland Arena as the players that got off that bus performed as flat as pancakes. In a mind-numbing fashion, a team showing such great early promise took the night off. In the 1st, Travis Beaubien scored assisted by Spencer Farstad, then Kelowna scored three through the next 44 minutes. In the 3rd, rookie, Kyle Riley scored on the power play with a nice one-timer from Michael Fidanza. Then Kelowna closed things out in a 4-2 road loss. Daniel Toews went the distance between the pipes receiving little if any help from his friends. That debacle set things up for Saturday the 19th. First off, a 3 p.m. matinee game at the Art Holding Memo-

n The inaugural Chase Chiefs vs Chase Heat Alumni game was held Saturday. The Chiefs Alumni Brandon Mistal looks to score and add to a fourgoal lead in the third period as Chase Heat Alumni Ryan Scheidt attempts to knock him off the puck. rial Arena between two teams of rusty former KIJHL puck chasers: the Inaugural Alumni Game between the Chase Chiefs and the short bench squad of the Chase Heat. Once again a team with the moniker “Chiefs” achieved success, with the final being 10-3. A great-sized crowd enjoyed their old time favourites playing good-times shinny. Many an exaggerated story was told after, during an indoor tailgate party thanks to the weather. The crowd was generous as donations received at the door, plus a top up from the Heat, raised $1,000 for Chase Minor Hockey. On Saturday night, the previous evening’s foes arrived via bus to take on the chastised Heat. This season’s roster learns quickly as an about-face occurred in performance level.

Once again, the Heat got on the board first in the 1st, with Zachary Fournier popping one in from Spencer Farstad and Beaubien. Less then a minute later, Logan Mostat scored unassisted. Then the Chiefs got one before Austin Willier scored from Fidanza for a 3-1 lead. Midway in the 2nd, Fournier got his second from Tommy Brown and Braden Hughes. Penalty trouble opened the door for the visitors who scored twice on the power play to make it close 4-3. In the 3rd Pat Brady got the fifth marker with a beautiful pass from Fidanza and Trevor Okino, and then Kelowna made it interesting scoring again on the powerplay with 38 seconds left. This one goes in the books as a 5-4 win for Chase. Nic Bruyere stopped

pucks and battled crease intruders stopping 30 of 34 between the pipes. HOT TOPICS: The Heat players and staff enjoyed three days and two nights of team bonding at Pillar Lake Resort. Campfires, fishing, boating, a lawn dart tournament and tasty player-prepared grub brought the team together for the wars ahead. The unveiling of the flashy new third jersey will happen on either Friday night or Sunday afternoon. Is there a new logo? It’s the Annual Family weekend with the locals taking on the KIJHL Champion Kimberley Dynamiters on Friday the 25th at 7 p.m., the Heat Golf Tournament on the 26th at Sunshore and then Sunday the 27th a 2 p.m. matinee versus the arch rival Kamloops Storm.

Cycling for young people

n Cops for Kids riders receive a donation from Chase Rotary presented by president Jacquie Everett and Chase Mayor Rick Berrigan. Those wishing to make a donation to Cops for Kids can do so at http://www. copsforkids.org/

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Warm welcome for Cops for Kids On Friday Sept. 18, Cody Chase, a local Pritchard young man and a recipient of the generosity of Cops for Kids, led 21 cyclists through Chase to Haldane Elementary School where they were greeted by the energetic, enthusiastic students who

cheered their entrance. Upon arrival, the Chase Rotary Club had organized lunch with a donation from Chase Subway. After pictures and sharing of souvenirs, everyone enjoyed the hot soup and sandwiches,including the students, who had hot dogs.

Rotary Club and Haldane Elementary both made generous donations. The monies donated will go towards helping fund medical assistance to children who have challenges. The local Chase detachment led by Sgt. Gary Hebner were also in attendance,

showing their community they care. The riders then got back on their bikes and proceeded to Kamloops to continue their journey. If you want to make a donation, go to their website “Cops for Kids” and follow the prompts.

Few runners turn out for this year’s Terry Fox Fun On Sunday, Sept. 20 Chase hosted the Terry Fox Run but most people were possibly inside at home due to the inclement weather. There were a few brave souls – nine – who remembered Terry withstanding everything, including the weather, and came out to support the cancer fight by running, walking, biking or pulling out some cash for their donation.

Organizer Jacquie Everett was initially disappointed with the turnout but uplifted when she added up the donations and reported more than $200 was collected. Also, there is an individual business owner who matches the overall donation and has for nearly 20 years and has, over time, been recognized by the Terry Fox Foundation. The help of the

RCMP, Chase Fire Rescue and Safety Mart Foods was appreciated. Thanks are also due to the students and staff of Haldane who completed their Terry Fox Run on Friday, Sept. 18 at noon after they hosted the Cops for Kids cyclists. If you still want to make a donation or purchase the 35- year T-shirt, call Jacquie at 250-675-2574.

I N P CHATTER at Village Lanes Fun Centre by Calyn Buresh

Hey Everyone! I trust that you all had as great a week as myself! It was full of excitement at Village Lanes once again this past week, with amazing bowling, lots of laughs, and a Gender Reveal Party?!? For those of you who haven’t yet heard the big news, Kelly and I are expecting our first baby in January! We had all of our family, friends, and bowlers share the experience with us, and we learned that we will be having ourselves a little baby girl. Look out world!! Now – in BOWLING news! Men of Chase have figured this sport out! Bill Pacholok once again lit up the lanes with a 335 single, and a whopping 818 triple. Peter Vanhoof has realized that golf season is nearing an end, and it’s showing in his bowling – he had a great night on Monday, shooting a 748 triple! Way to go “PERTER”! And last but certainly not least, Terry Echlin threw a 740 on Wednesday night! Even more exciting – we had a brand new bowler representing the ladies this week, congrats Barb Price on your 230 game!! Our Club 55+ Ladies had a great week! Congratulations Joanne Adamson on your 287 game, and to Susan Niessen on your 661 triple! Tom Horner led the way this week for the Club 55+ Men, shooting a 715 triple, AND winning 10% of the Strike it Rich Jackpot, along with Mitch Wells from our Friday night league! Youth leagues went great this week, a turnout of about 30 or so kids! Thanks for coming out guys! Kallan Krause was the top dog this week, averaging a 190 for her three games. Way to go girl! I hope that you all have a great weekend, and we will chat next week! Until then…cheers!

Cards of Thanks

Farewell Salmon Arm, and Thank You!

It is with excitement and regret that we leave Salmon Arm after 24 years. We are excited to begin the next chapter in our lives. We plan to retire and live near children and grandchildren. We are sad to say farewell to our two and four-legged friends. Thank you Salmon Arm, for allowing us to care for your pets at Birch Valley Kennels. We will miss the people and dogs who came to Canada West Canine Centre for obedience classes, agility, and rally. You will still find these services at this property. We will also greatly miss the SilverBacks hockey. Go Backs Go!

Thank you and best wishes to all. ~ Floyd & Marion Jobson

Information

Love from big brother Damien, little sister Morgan, Mommy, Daddy, your Grammas & Papa, and all your aunts & uncles!

Johnson, Katherine passed away peacefully at the Comox Valley Seniors Village on September 15, 2015. She was predeceased by Husband Arthur Johnson in 2003, and by parents Jacob and Sara (nee Enns) Martens. Her siblings; Sister Erna (George deceased) Thiessen, Brothers Henry (deceased) and wife Anne still alive, Jake (Sarah) and John (Susan), Brother-in-law Roy Johnson (Minnie) and one Daughter Verna (Wayne) Llemky. The light of her life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; grandson, Brad McEwen whom she looked after every summer during his growing up years. Several other special grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews who we were very close to in our younger years. Kay was born in Graysville, Manitoba. The family resided there until she was about 15 when they moved to the beautiful Fraser Valley. The family struggled and worked very hard in the depression and they all became quite successful because they are all hard working, caring and generous folks. Mom graduated from MEI in Abbotsford. She then took her nursing degree at Royal Columbian Hospital and graduated in 1951. She took on her first job in Cranbrook and met and married Art there. Mom worked in many towns in British Columbia, mostly in the OR and ER until she retired at 65. She took a brief hiatus from nursing to own a florist shop in Revelstoke where there was only shift work in the hospital and she could not adjust to that so dad bought her a business. She kept a very strong connection with her nursing classmates for most of her life. Mom spent her whole life helping others. After she retired, she immediately started volunteering for Hospice on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake where there were no doctors. In 1996, mom and dad moved to Comox to be closer to us. As soon as she got here, she volunteered at the Filberg Lodge. Mom also looked after my dad for 10 years of ill health and when he passed away in 2003, she moved to live next to St. Josephs General Hospital. She fed the residents every day at lunch and dinner for several years. She was enjoying life to the fullest with walking, knitting, taking in plays with friends and helping in the hospital. So sadly, that fun time of her life was very short. She was run over by a car when she was in a crosswalk and was never able to live independently again. After long months of rehab, mom lived in Berwick for several years. When she was needing more help, she moved over to the Comox Valley Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Village. In both residences, the staff and other residents became like a family to mom and to her daughter as well. Kayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the residents and staff in both buildings she lived for their caring and sharing. Mom had her own family â&#x20AC;&#x153;care giverâ&#x20AC;? at CVSV that was the epitome of perfection at her profession. Mom fought through many serious illnesses and accidents in her life and never complained but she finally just got tired of being so tough. Two very special ladies helped her through this phase, taking her for drives and walks and ice cream. They gave mom many wonderful hours of enjoyment. She was very fortunate to have Eda and Anne as friends. Kay did not like to be in the limelight or have any fanfare for her. Therefore, the family will respect her wishes that there be no service. She will be cremated and her ashes will join her husband and other family members. Donations to the charity of your choice in her name would be greatly appreciated.

sad story about their trailer – apparently, they bought it off a private seller before coming on vacation. Just a month later, the electrical system was failing. They’d been trapped for a week trying to track down the seller and find their way home. Their crisis was my opportunity! I played the friendly nextdoor neighbour.

To a trusting buyer, I was giving them a great deal! Like making a silk purse from a sow’s ear… As always, lady luck was on my side. I met an older couple in the campground where I was staying. They told me a

The lady even gave me some mighty tasty peaches as a thank-you for saving their vacation. A little spit and polish, some electrical trickery and I had two vehicles to sell. Their old pickup and their trailer! I could ride my scooter home if I needed to.

It’s a good thing they didn’t learn from their first experience! They didn’t think to call a licensed RV dealer for help they could trust. Didn’t ask for a vehicle history report, like CarProof. Didn’t spot the rust. As the young Clint Eastwood would say, I’d be livin’ high and wide at the end of my ride! But first, I needed to go for a swim and then stop at that fine looking winery up the road.

Walt hustles his inventory to another unsuspecting buyer

Licensed Dealers Beat Curbers by a Mile Deciding between buying privately or from a licensed dealer? Buying from a private seller might have one perceived benefit – lower price. But, even that can disappear when looking at the risks, especially if the private seller is actually a curber – an unlicensed dealer intentionally breaking all the rules. Unlike private sellers, licensed dealers must be transparent in their selling practices. This means they must sell vehicles in a clear and open manner while standing behind any representations they make. Dealers can’t withhold information that would cause errors in judgment about whether or not to buy the vehicle. Licenced dealers must also follow strict selling standards. Only licensed salespeople who pass a background check and a certification course are allowed to sell vehicles. Dealers must declare prior out-of-province registrations and vehicle uses (if it was a lease, rental, taxi

or emergency vehicle). Prior damage, above certain limits, must also be disclosed before purchase. And, licensed dealers are obligated to sell vehicles that meet all safety requirements and are free of unpaid liens. As part of being licensed, dealers contribute to a customer compensation fund that regularly settles eligible claims around the province. Dealers also offer extra services and savings such as financing and warranty options. And, there’s a sales tax advantage when trading-in a vehicle at a dealer. Licensed dealers make an investment in their staff, operations, reputation and their community. Curbers escape doing any of the above. And, the Vehicle Sales Authority can assist only with purchases from licensed dealers. If something goes wrong with a private sale, you’re on your own. Learn more at the vehiclesalesauthority.com.

CURBERS SELL VEHICLES THAT MAY BE UNSAFE OR STOLEN! Curbers are individuals and businesses selling vehicles for profit without a licence Curbers may get junk cars and sell them from parking lots while posing as private sellers. They advertise through local newspapers and online ads. They may not disclose the vehicle history to the buyer, hiding serious accident

damage or even a rolled back odometer. Licensed dealers are required by law to sell safe, lien-free vehicles and disclose vehicle histories. If you buy from Walt, you have none of the protections of buying from a licensed dealer.
