A phone call from her son’s elementary school left mom Jackie Graham ‘seeing red.’ On Thursday, Sept. 24, says Graham, she received a call from South Broadview Elementary stating she should come and pick up her son. Deacon is seven, in Grade 2, and has Down Syndrome. “They said the quiet room wasn’t working today. I said, ‘Quiet room?’ They said, ‘yeah, well we put him in the quiet room to deal with his behaviour…’ “As a mom and hearing that, you just kind of see red. That’s how we found out about it.” She would like to see quiet rooms completely banned from schools and, if the Ministry of Education won’t do that, strict guidelines must be in place regarding their use. She thinks the responsibility for her son’s situation ultimately lies with the lack of funding provided in the education system. Graham says she was informed prior to her discovery that staff involved in her son’s education would be having a team meeting on Sept. 18 to discuss a plan. She asked if she should get a sitter so she could attend the meeting. She said she was told no, she would be updated after the meeting. As well as being the mother of four, Graham is an on-call CEA (certified education assistant) with School District #83. Deacon has a CEA assigned to him full-time throughout his school day. “I found out about the quiet room

But, “if his neuro-typical peer would do it, the teacher would probably go, okay…, we don’t do this in the classroom.” She says the room is about nine

It breaks my heart to think this is in place in schools.” On the outside of the door is a notice entitled: ‘Procedure for calming room when fire alarm bell activated.’ It states that “the calming room locking system is linked to the fire
alarm. The door will automatically release when the alarm bell rings. When the lock releases, the door can be pulled to open, but does not open spontaneously...” Graham said Deacon didn’t become unhappy about going to school, but she notes the quiet room was used for only four days before she found out and kept him home.

Advocate disagrees with isolation “All schools in the district have an alternate space or a calming room for when students need a place to calm so that they can return to the learning environment. In our district, calming rooms that are currently in our schools strictly follow the Ministry of Education protocols and guidelines which exist for these spaces. He states students are never left alone. Regarding Deacon: “In this particular case, when the student has been in the calming room he has always been supervised by an adult. Sometimes with the door open and an adult in the room with him. Sometimes with the door closed and the adult directly supervising him through the window on the door. In following Ministry of Education protocols, students taken to calming rooms are never left alone.” Graham describes Deacon as mostly nonverbal, an “energetic, curious little boy – he’s seven, I would peg him more as a three- or four-year-old who has just learned the power
Continued from front he was placed in the room three times, albeit briefly. “How can you say this solution works when you’re resorting to it three times a day?” One note stated someone tried to take him from the classroom to the quiet room and he would only go halfway, she says. “My take on that is he probably knew where they were taking him and he didn’t want to go,” she says. The school district issued a news release Wednesday, stating that some students have a behaviour plan “developed by a team of people including the teacher, learning resource teacher, principal, education assistants AND parents along with other professionals as necessary (for example speechlanguage, hearing, visually impaired, counsellors etc.)” Part of the plan, stated superintendent Glenn Borthistle, sometimes includes a calming (or quiet) room.
of ‘no,’” she smiles. “He’s extremely social, he loves his classmates, he just gravitates towards people. He’s constantly, constantly making me smile.” She said part of the issue is she and her spouse Kirk are not seeing the behaviours at home that he’s exhibiting at school. “We use every moment as a teachable moment,” she says, noting he has special needs and is not always going to behave appropriately. “As long as we teach him along the way…, I think they need to teach him what is appropriate behaviour... “As a grown-up, if I were to be put in a room like that, rather than de-stressing or calming me, I think it would have the opposite effect.” Faith Bodnar, executive director of Inclusion BC, issued a news release Wednesday on calming rooms. “These are not safety rooms or quiet rooms. They are being used systematically to punish and isolate children and will continue to be used this way until

legislation is enacted to ban the practice. These rooms and aversive practices must not be part of the routine behaviour management strategies in our schools. We know how to do better. We have the evidence, we have the research. This is about lack of leadership and a failure to do what’s necessary to protect vulnerable students in B.C.” The Grahams were scheduled to meet with school district staff this week to review Deacon’s behaviour plan. “School staff has the responsibility for ensuring the safety of all students and staff and stays in communication with parents to
ensure that the safety of their child, or the others in the school, is being supervised to the greatest degree possible,” Borthistle stated in the news release. Kari Wilkinson, president of the District Parent Advisory Committee, said she sees two issues – one, communication between the parents and the school, and two, the effects of funding cuts. “I want all sides to work together for the best solution for our kids,” Wilkinson said. “That’s what we have to keep in mind at the end of the day, it’s the kids we’re all for.”

Province agrees to upgrades at Sunnybrae intersection By Tracy Hughes
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Calling it huge progress, Sunnybrae residents are pleased by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s commitment to install some new interim safety measures at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Sunnybrae-Canoe Point Road. Opal Hendrickson, a member of the Friends of Sunnybrae group, says residents have been working for more than 10 years on getting some improvements and were thrilled to see something will be done in the near future. The ministry has committed to install a flashing warning light at the intersection, convert the current streetlights to a brighter LED version and consider changes to the intersection lay-out. “They are telling us they are eventually going to be working on a fourlaning plan, but we felt we can’t wait that long for something to happen. It is so, so dangerous. This interim plan can give us some degree of safety prior to the four-laning,” says Hendrickson. The warning light will flash yellow in the direction of the highway and red towards Sunnybrae. Steve Sirett, assistant district manager with the ministry, says the warn-
ing light will be installed in Spring 2016. The upgraded streetlights will be added this fall. “Further work that I will be completing is determining if relocating the start of the westbound passing lane to begin west of Sunnybrae Canoe Point road is possible,” Sirett wrote in a letter to the group. “… Additional review will have to be completed to ensure that this will not create any other safety issues for highway traffic and determine if the geometric improvements can be completed within the current footprint of the intersection. I plan to complete this engineering work this fall and will to provide an update to your group by December 2015.” Hendrickson says not all the concerns have been addressed, which include the difficulties experienced on the Trans-Canada Highway near both the Tappen Esso and Tappen Co-op gas stations. “Those really are a problem, but the ministry tells us they are in negotiations and communications with the Little Shuswap Band and the property owners,” says Hendrickson. “After 10 years of fighting, it’s amazing how quickly this came together. They listened to what we had to say and actually came back with something. We are very happy about that.”

Liberal Cindy Derkaz also reports some damage to signs, while the Greens have gone unscathed. “But we are not that focused on playing the sign game. Signs are incredibly expensive and as Greens, we also consider the carbon emissions that result from driving around putting signs everywhere and then taking them down again.” said Green Chris George.

The most recent incident was on Sunday when the couple drove to Chase to visit family. “We put signs up on the way there and then, when we came back to Vernon later that day, the signs were no longer there,” said Ellen.

Candidates tackle tough issues By Lachlan Labere
market news staff
A mix of local and national issues were tackled by the North Okanagan-Shuswap riding’s electoral hopefuls during an all-candidates forum held in Sicamous Monday night. Organized by the Sicamous chamber, the forum offered Eagle Valley residents an opportunity to hear the candidates – Conservative Mel Arnold, Liberal Cindy Derkaz, Green Chris George and the NDP’s Jacqui Gingras – respond to pre-written questions in a nondebate format. That didn’t stop the contenders from taking shots at their competitors’ parties. The gauntlet was dropped with opening remarks and Arnold’s touting of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which he said would create a stronger economy for Canada and more jobs. “That trade agreement will open up those doors to expand markets, not just for our dairy producers and our fruit producers, but for our manufacturers, for our innovative technology people that
can actually now trade across those borders… by expanding our markets, those are what’s going to enable an area like this to grow and expand,” Arnold later explained when asked about how to improve the local economy. On that topic, Gingras was critical of trade deals conducted in secret, stating the NDP would cut the small business tax by two per cent, work to protect local agriculture and establish a national childcare program. Derkaz touted the need for investment in infrastructure, noting the Liberals will run a deficit to do this, and put the money in the hands of local governments. She also supported affordable housing and creating more opportunities for agriculture. George said the Greens too would support infrastructure spending, committing one per cent of GST to it and, like the Liberals, assuring the money would go to local government. He also championed youth employment with the Greens establishing a Community and Environment Service Corps.

The last question of the evening had the candidates discussing the Tories’ anti-terror legislation, Bill C-51. Gingras said the bill infringes on Canadian’s rights and freedoms and that it needs to be repealed. “We already have the laws necessary to protect us,” said Gingras. “It’s an illusion, a false choice, that we need to take away our rights and freedoms in order to protect us.” Arnold said the bill would enable law enforcement agencies to share information, noting judicial approval would still be required to conduct surveillance. “The fear-mongering that’s going on over Bill C-51 is simply not true,” said Arnold. George said he read the act, and “by the time I got to the criminal code amendments that are going to allow five-day’s detention without charge, secret trials never to be made public, with anonymous witnesses, I knew this wasn’t Canada.” Derkaz said the bill goes way too far, and that a Liberal government would amend it.

Still assessing trade agreement
So what do Thomas Mulcair and Donald Trump have in common? Both rejected the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal before it was released. To be fair, trade deals traditionally have a polarizing effect on people. So it’s not that surprising the leader of the NDP and the bombastic presidential hopeful found reasons to hate the historic agreement. What is disappointing is that they hated it so quickly. The trade deal agreed to on Sunday had an eightyear gestation. It involves 12 Pacific Rim countries that comprise 40 per cent of the world economy. Specific details have yet to be released. The goal of the agreement is to ease trade restrictions between the participating countries, enhancing the movement of goods, and opening new markets that had previously been closed. Canada, as an exporting nation, benefits when trade restrictions are removed. However, there is a cost. And that is what worried dairy farmers and poultry producers here. Both sectors are highly regulated under Canada’s supply management program. The program provides stability in an industry that might otherwise fall victim to the vagaries of an unrestricted free market. Countries wanting access to our market have traditionally cited our supply management system as an unfair impediment to trade. There will be some market share lost as a result of TPP, says the BC Dairy Association. But the organization acknowledges it could have been much worse – a sentiment echoed by the Dairy Farmers of Canada. Still, there remains much to be learned about the trade deal. And Canadians will have the opportunity for that review. It must be ratified here and in the 11 other participating nations before it comes into effect. –Chilliwack Progress

OPINION
Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.
Preparing for return of winter Pale orange hues lined the few wisps of clouds that hung in the sky above the mountains. It was early morning. Part of me had wanted to stay in bed, but another part of me wanted to get an early start to fishing. It is always a battle. A hint of snow had appeared overnight on the peaks, just above the snow line – a harbinger of what would be coming, and staying, in the next few months. Winter is not my favourite season. As I looked up at the mountains surrounding me, I thought about what a good summer I had in the East Kootenay. I then reminded myself I would be leaving in a couple of days to return to Salmon Arm. It would be good to get home, but I still had two days left and there was plenty of fishing to do before leaving. I unloaded my gear from the vehicle and sat down on a rock looking at the Sportspal canoe that I had borrowed from a friend. Sportspals are an odd looking contraption. They have a charm and a quality all their own. Made
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray of aluminum, they are painted to look like birchbark. They have an ugly strip of floatation foam rubber about six inches wide running along both sides, on the outside, that sets them apart from any other craft of their type. They are not a thing of beauty, but they are pretty much unsinkable. The early morning air was cool and crisp. A pair of loons began their lonesome calls to each other across the lake. The day ahead seemed full of promise. I pushed off from shore and it wasn’t long before I was casting my first line out to what I hoped would be a lake full of hungry and eager fish. It only took a few min-
utes before I was into my first fish. To my knowledge, there are no big fish in this particular lake. But there are plenty of 10- to 12-inch rainbows. I had my three-weight Orvis fly rod with me, so any fish would be a worthwhile fight. By mid afternoon I had caught and brought five nice little trout to the boat. Each one was released unharmed. Come September, fish know instinctively they will soon have to start increasing their body fat in order to survive the long winter months ahead. This means they are willing to investigate just about anything and everything that comes their way. I caught my fish on dragonfly nymphs and leeches. Dragonflies can exist, in the nymphal stage, anywhere from two to six years on lake bottoms where they are continuously moving about, feeding, growing and maturing towards the adult stage. Dragonfly nymphs not only represent a significant food source, they also represent a significantly large (in size) food item. At a time when fish are trying
to retain calories and put on body fat, they will actively seek out single large food sources, as opposed to smaller, more numerous food items, which may be present in the same waters. Large, bushy dragonfly nymph patterns fished near the bottom can produce sudden, aggressive and exciting takes. Look long and hard enough in just about any lake and you are bound to see the dark, flat, wavy, undulating form of a leech. Although leeches can be found throughout the water column, imitation leech patterns are best fished near the bottom on a weighted line with a short stop-and-start retrieve. When hungry trout see the undulating motion of a leech swimming about in the water, they simply can’t help themselves. When it comes to both dragonfly nymphs and leeches, I have cast some interesting patterns – with a charm and a quality all their own. Sort of like Sportspal canoes. All I know is that all three worked well for me that day.

She has a sweet and gentle disposition and is very loving. Lulu is 6 years old and has been declawed, she has only ever been an indoor cat. She’ll need a home that will keep her strictly indoors only. As Lulu has only lived with an older lady, she would do best in a quieter home.

SOUTH SHUSWAP Celebrating long, happy lives Francis Turgeon celebrated his 100th birthday Sept. 30th and enjoyed a lunch at a local restaurant with family and friends. He shared the day with Mary, his wife of 72 years, his daughter Bonnie and her husband Jim Jeffries, all of Eagle Bay. Also there to celebrate was longtime friend Lydia Packalen, who is a former boss from Francis’ logging days. Other guests included a fellow South Shuswap pioneer – Lena Johnston, who is 106 years young and lots of family and friends. Francis enjoyed looking through an album of greetings from Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Steven Harper and many others, including Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo and retiring member of Parliament Colin Mayes. Born in Crystal Springs, Sask., Francis moved to Eagle Bay in 1938 as a young man. On Feb. 27, 1943, he married, Mary Whitehead who was born and raised in Eagle Bay. Both Francis and Mary come from large 10-children families – the norm back in those days. Each is the only surviving child. Coincidentally Lena Johnston is the eldest of 14 children and is also the only surviving member of her family. She too was born in Saskatchewan. Johnston and her husband Johnny arrived at the Notch Hill train

FACTS notFear
n Lena Johnston, left, Francis Turgeon, who just reached his 100th birthday, and his wife Mary, 93, have a total of 299 years of life between them. Francis and Mary celebrated 72 years of marriage last February. station late in the afternoon of Aug. 5, 1937. The couple stepped off the train to a completely different world from the prairie dust bowl of the ’30s. The Johnstons and four-year-old son came to the Shuswap from Monitor, Alta. in a CPR boxcar loaded with animals, household items and machinery, a cow, her calf, a couple of horses, some chickens
and a few turkeys – only one of which survived the trip. Johnston moved into Arbour House in September, 2014 after 76 years of living on the family farm in Notch Hill. Johnston is still living at Arbour House, still doing exercises, puzzles and going out and about with friends and families. “She enjoys good
health and loves where she is living,” says Donna Young of her step-grandmother. “As she frequently says, ‘I am happy to wake up in the morning, and I learn something new every day.’” Young says family and friends wish Johnston and the Turgeons the best of health and more years to come as their combined ages total 299 years.

Friday, October 9, 2015 Shuswap Market News
Questions:
1) What are your ideas for improving the local economy? 2) Shuswap Lake is at the heart of life in this riding. How will you act to protect this resource?
Response to Question 1
Response to Question 2
We need local jobs so that families do not have to leave town to find work. We need to fix our deteriorating infrastructure. A Liberal government will double federal infrastructure investment over the next decade. Funds will provide long-term stable funding to municipalities for their priorities, creating local jobs in the areas of transportation, social (affordable housing, seniors’ facilities, etc.) and green infrastructure. We will also promote innovation and clean technologies in forestry, energy and agricultural sectors, including sustainable agriculture, and help small- and medium-sized businesses to grow, secure funding, innovate and create a positive business environment.
I am passionate about protecting the lake. A Liberal government will restore the environmental protections that have been eliminated by omnibus bills (eg. habitat protection in the Fisheries Act and the Navigable Waters Protection Act) and will incorporate more modern safeguards. We will work with our U.S. neighbours and Alberta to prevent the spread of invasive species into our lakes. We need to look at establishing inspec- Cindy Derkaz tion at entry points into B.C. And we will restore federal funding for freshwater research (including the Experimental Lakes) so that future decisions will be made on science-based evidence. See platform at RealChange.ca
Response to Question 1
Response to Question 2
New Democrats believe in the intelligent and prudent use of government, not just to respond to economic crises, but to play a leadership role in setting a path for future prosperity. The NDP will be a government opening doors globally and nationally. Local industry and small business are demonstrating capacity to be creative, implementing strong direction to the future. The NDP, under Tom Mulcair, will be a government, through policy and action, facilitating new horizons in a bright business future. This will, with NDP support and encouragement, bring continued growth and energy to the North Okanagan-Shuswap.
Environment is one of the biggest concerns expressed. Stephen Harper has gutted laws to protect the outdoors. I have heard continual concern about the yearly receding of Shuswap Lake levels, increased vegetative levels in the lake and water quality. I will use Tom Mulcair’s promise to “protect the environment for future generations.” Working with provincial agencies, environmental Jacqui interest groups, business and civic entities, I will Gingras be active strengthening laws to protect Canada’s lakes and rivers (Navigable Waters Act), keeping resident and business user’s requirements at the forefront.
Response to Question 1
Response to Question 2
Our riding is a small-business riding. Family farms, ranches, dairy and poultry operations in the rural half are complemented by the myriad of products and services available in our urban communities. I would work to: Establish a federally-funded Green Venture Capital Fund to support viable small local green business start-ups; Utilize the same fund to provide matching federal funds for locally-raised venture capital for use in our communities; Bring in legislation to require a consideration of the impact on small business of all new federal legislation, including trade deals, based on a similar law in the European parliament.
To protect and restore freshwater ecosystems the federal government has to use its powers, including the Fisheries Act. This is especially important when considering the changes in quality and quantity of Canada’s fresh water that will occur due to climate change. B.C. rivers will become over-heated, preventing salmon spawning; and farmers will face increasChris ing drought. Ultimately, the lake will need to be protected by George the people who live here. As MP I would work with local people and local organizations to insure the long-term viability of the lakes and streams in our riding. This makes sense; economically, socially and environmentally.
Response to Question 1
Response to Question 2
I plan to have an open-door policy to work with all levels of government and business so we can find ways to expand existing opportunities and bring in new ideas. Our government’s low tax plan encourages business to invest in capital and human resources, and will complement the advantages we have here in our lifestyle, education, transportation, marketing systems and a workforce that is ready to make it happen. I will advocate strongly for continuing programs that assist in research and training so this area can be a leader in new opportunities and job creation.
I have experienced the changes in and around Shuswap Lake and, while we can’t stop progress, I believe we can manage it and reduce any negative impact by using the most effective tool we have: education. Pollution and the threat from invasive species can often be prevented by educating stakeholders and the public to prevent an incident in the first Mel place. I will also advocate for stronger enforcement of Arnold laws already in place to protect not just Shuswap Lake but all of our water resources.

On Thursday, May 21, Ian Bos embarked on a crosscountry walk in memory of his late father, Ted Bos to raise awareness and funds for hospice palliative care societies across Canada, the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA) and the provincial palliative care associations. “The Aberdeen Palliative Care Society [in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia] gave us confidence and support we needed as a family to care for him while also giving him the ability to maintain his independence,” says Bos. The CHPCA states that hospice palliative care programs allow patients to gain more control over their lives, manage pain and symptoms more effectively and they provide support to family caregivers. Shuswap Hospice Society will be hosting Ian on Oct. 12 at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort which will be open to the public from 2-4pm. Donations for admission will be greatly appreciated.

UBCM brings communities closer MAYOR’S MESSAGE Nancy Cooper First of all, I must apologize for not yet reporting back on the Union of BC Municipalities convention held in Vancouver Sept. 21 to 25. I have been trying to
overcome an allergic reaction to perfume worn by the person next to me on the flight home The UBCM conference is a major undertaking and I want to thank UBCM staff and board members for all the work they do for all us. The agenda is always packed full with speakers, workshops, meetings, and resolutions sessions. Dr. Roberta Bondar, the first woman and first neurologist in space, was the most popular speaker
at the conference (except for Premier Clark when she announced $75 million over three years for rural communities under 25,000.) Dr. Bondar suggested we never reach our potential but rather continually strive for it by being leaders who inspire our communities. Accompanied by MLA Greg Kyllo, council met with Minister of Transportation Todd Stone regarding the Trans-Canada Highway and airport funding, Minister of
Advanced Education Andrew Wilkinson, regarding the downtown college campus proposal and Minister of Environment Mary Pollack on zebra and quagga mussels. Thank you Greg, your support at the meetings meant a lot to us. We spent many hours reviewing and discussing more than 200 resolutions. It amazes me to see the issues we face are basically the same around the province. Sicamous Mayor Terry Rysz and I have al-
ready agreed to work together on a 2016 motion allowing dredging of the Sicamous channel as keeping the channel clear is key to their economy. Lastly, I ran for as position as the UBCM’s second vice -president. While I did not get elected, I was able to say Salmon Arm and Shuswap Lake four separate times to a few thousand delegates and having people come up and ask for more information was success enough – for now.
Good for you...

Election 2015: Chris George runs for the Green Party. By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAFF
To former Conservative voters in the NorthOkanagan Shuswap riding still on the fence, Chris George offers what may seem an unconventional solution: vote Green. Of course, a vote for the Green Party of Canada in the riding would be a vote for George, the party’s local candidate. Offering himself as an option for the undecided is George’s logical approach to the conundrum, based on an understanding that voters haven’t forgotten past Liberal (federally) and NDP (provincially) governments, and how he, as a Green MP, wouldn’t be encumbered by ideology or party line – that Greens can stick their necks out when needed to represent their ridings. “I can actually work together with different interests and different groups in the riding to come up with a consensus of opinion that I can then take to Ottawa to fairly represent the people here,� said George. George was elected the riding’s Green Party candidate in July. The Notch Hill resident who is currently pursuing a bachelor of general studies, brings with him a diverse background in small business, three decades of volunteering, an affinity for information, numbers and policy and the experience of having run as the Shuswap’s B.C. Green Party candidate in the 2013
provincial election (in which he earned 2,186 votes – 9.26 per cent of the total vote). “My parents were both small business people, this was their political agenda and I just sort of inherited it,� said George. “They always instilled in me that voting was a right, privilege and a duty, so I’ve gone out of my way to make sure that I’ve voted in every single election that I was eligible to do so.� But George said he was never satisfied with the partisan nature of politics. It wasn’t until he heard a speech by former Green Party of Canada leader Jim Harris that George found a place to hang his hat. “He said their policy was economically conservative, socially responsible and environmentally sound, and that really struck a chord with me,� said George, who describes himself as a fiscally conservative person with a social conscience. George contests the notion that the Greens are a party that only says “no.� He says this is the response only to extremist positions where an unbalanced approach is being taken. He points to the tar sands, noting the Greens are not looking to shut them down, but to stop their expansion, and instead start putting resources into secondary industry, such as refining, not in China but on Canadian soil.

n North Okanagan-Shuswap Green candidate Chris George. George in this election is that people will be voting strategically, driven by personality over the issues. He calls this a mistake, one to which issues surrounding climate change, economic inequality and even health care have taken a back seat. He says this way of thinking only propagates the kind of apathy that kept 33,980 eligible voters from casting
a ballot in 2013. One way of changing this, he says, is to have leaders who inspire, who are willing and able to speak from the heart, without script. “I think we need to roll back a generation, I guess, back to when people were aspirational and people actually voted what was in their hearts, and kind of let the chips fall where they may.�

Gratitude a healthy habit HEALTHY BITES Serena Caner I grew up in a family that prayed before every single meal. While in principle I believe that this was a great activity, I remember thinking, “this is so boring!” rather than “I am so thankful!.” It did not help that my father’s prayers were often long, monotonous and sprinkled with lengthy pauses, sometimes causing my siblings and I to get the giggles. We did not have the insight to realize that we actually did have something to be thankful for. As an adult, I have a greater respect and un-
derstanding for this tradition, especially in the light of what is happening in countries such as Syria right now. Thanksgiving provides us a perfect opportunity to start a practice of gratitude. Gratitude, or being thankful, allows us to take a moment to affirm that there are good things in the world and that we all have received at least some blessings in our life. Scientists have been studying gratefulness in recent years, and it appears that there are many health benefits to giving thanks. These include increasing people’s happiness and life satisfaction, boosting the immune system and improving sleep. People who regularly give thanks are also more likely to take better care of their health, including healthy eating and regular exercise. Newer research suggests that gratitude
is healthy for our children. In one study, the middle school students asked to keep track of five things they were grateful for daily reported more positive emotion and optimism, greater satisfaction with life and greater connectedness to their community than those who did not. There are many ways to practise gratitude, and they do not have to be said around the table. Gratitude can be practised through journaling, meditation or doing a kind act for someone else.
This Thanksgiving, as you enjoy your Thanksgiving meal, take a moment to think about where the delicious food came from, who helped prepare it, and all the people with whom you are enjoying the meal. One can only hope the health benefit of feeling thankful will outweigh any health effects of overindulging on this meal! -Serena Caner is a registered dietician who works at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

Professor says students have untapped voting power However past elections have shown that young people don’t get out and vote as much as the older generations. In the 2011 federal election, according to Elections Canada, just under 39 per cent of eligible voters aged 18 to 24 cast ballots, compared to more than 75 per cent of voters aged 65 to 74. To get young people engaged and feeling that their vote matters, many have taken to technology and social media, including a former Okanagan College student and now Concordia journalism student Matthew Heuman. Heuman developed an app this year called Vote Note in an effort to pick up the slack where he says Elections Canada no longer can, providing voter information in an easy to use app that people can access on their phones. Heuman says the Fair Elections Act, introduced by the Harper Government, will make it harder for youth to get out and vote. So the former Penticton resident took it upon himself to develop the app for smart phones to provide the information, not only to the 18 to 24 demographic but to all Canadians.
BLACK PRESS
The president of the Okanagan College Faculty Association says students appear to be more engaged in this year’s federal election than in any election in recent memory. And Tim Walters says if those students realized the voting power that they have, even more might get out and vote. “There is no question students have massive (voting) power, this is what I have been talking to my students about,” said Walters, who works at the Salmon Arm campus of Okanagan College and represents the college’s faculty association. “They have the power but they are completely unaware. If you flip the numbers between voting rates for seniors and students we would have a different prime minister and a different premier.” With UBC Okanagan and Okanagan College operating in Kelowna and with satellite campuses around the Okanagan Valley, it’s estimated some 20,000 students are hitting the books in the Okanagan. Walter says those are big numbers of potential voters that can make a difference in this election.
Hallo we
dramatic shift. Five per cent of the youth demographic is 150,000 people, which is enough to make a difference. But they see voting as something that is difficult. It’s an arduous process and I think making it more accessible is the first step in getting people more engaged.” At the Salmon Arm campus of OC, Walters agrees that there could be a shift if the younger generations came out to vote in big numbers. “I thought for a long time that young people would be more engaged in this process and I think there is a different energy about this election that might be attractive to them,” he said. “There has been such a huge amount of bad will
generated by the current government that has filtered down to young people. I hope this will be the election they come out and vote in droves.”

Heuman says it’s not just youth who aren’t turning out in big numbers to vote but also the 25 to 34 year old demographic, people starting families and careers. And he says together people from 18 to 34 wield plenty of power. “The ability for 18 to 35 year olds to disrupt the process is huge,” he said. “Even just a small increase could be a

“We just see this as the next step forward,” said Heuman in an interview with the Capital News. “Everyone has a smart phone and this should have been available 10 years ago. We didn’t reinvent the wheel here, we just made all the resources available in a much more concise way. Everything has an app nowadays and the fact we don’t have one for one of the most important processes in the country, we see that as very archaic.”

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
Fire Prevention Week puts focus on putting smoke alarms in the bedrooms (NC) Statistics from the United States show that at least one-half of all home fire deaths occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., the time when most people are asleep. Canadian experts are certain the same trend exists here. To emphasize the importance of being awakened during an overnight fire emergency, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is placing increasing focus on having a working fire alarm in every home bedroom with their theme −– “Hear The Beep Where You Sleep.” “We know that smoke alarms double your family’s chance of a safe escape. But to provide that critical early warning, they need to be installed in all the required locations and they need to be working,” says Carol Heller, a home safety specialist with Kidde Canada, the country’s leading smoke and carbon monoxide alarm manufacturer. Canada’s National Building Code calls for the installation of hardwired smoke alarms in all bedrooms for newly constructed homes. But for existing and older homes, it is largely up to individuals to make the right safety decisions. At a minimum, smoke or combination smoke/ CO alarms should be installed outside every sleeping area. Across North America, from October 4-10, fire departments will be reinforcing the basics of home fire safety. There are several events throughout the month from classroom educational programs for teachers, primary school visits by firefighters and a myriad other special community events to educate and promote awareness for fire safety. “Fire Prevention Week is a
great time to remind people that if you’ve taken down a smoke alarm after burning the toast and forgotten to put it back up, or removed batteries and left an alarm unpowered, you are placing your family at serious risk,” Heller adds. “This is not a trivial issue. In almost two-thirds of fatal house fires, investigators find that smoke alarms were either not present or were missing batteries.” Heller’s other cautionary advice centres on aging smoke alarms. She is quick to point out that even if an alarm sounds when you push its test button, that only means circuits are working and power is getting to the unit. It does not mean the alarm’s sensors are operating at full sensitivity. After being exposed to years of dust, cooking grime, pet fur and other airborne contaminants Heller warns that sensors can lose responsiveness, possibly slowing the alarm’s reaction time and reducing escape time. That’s why the NFPA recommends that if your smoke alarm is more than 10 years old or you can’t remembers its age, whether it is hardwired or battery powered, replace it immediately.
Where installing smoke alarms in bedrooms may not be feasible, Heller notes that the latest generation alarm technology can help provide peace of mind. “Talking alarms that call out a warning in addition to beeping can help wake sleeping family members,” she says. “As well, Kidde’s newest WorryFree alarms that have a 10-year battery you never need to replace for the life of the alarm also simplify safety.” New 10-year battery wireless alarms also interconnect, so when one sounds they all sound.

Salmon Arm RCMP adjust school liaison roles By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAFF
‘How will schools be served by police’ is one question that came up during a recent visit to city council by Staff Sgt. Scott West. Coun. Tim Lavery noted that Const. Yvonne Dibblee, now retired, had “an amazing handle” on what was going on at the schools. West said the job she was doing was coupled
with traffic duties. He said operations supervisors have chosen to go with a model where officers are responsible for certain schools, “providing for the needs schools have,” he explained. “In saying that, it’s difficult providing programs when you don’t have the resource. It’s not an easy life to live… family life. I take myself back to Lake Country, where I was teaching five classes and then on night shift... There will

Dairy producers offer tepid response to TPP By Jessica Peters BLACK PRESS
B.C.’s dairy farmers are taking a watchful waiting approach to Monday’s announcement of a Trans-Pacific Partnership. The federal government announced on Monday that it has entered into the final agreement of the TPP, which seeks to ease trade between 12 Pacific countries, including Canada, the United States, Chile and New Zealand. It has been seen as a threat to Canada’s supply management program for dairy producers, which helps ensure strength in that industry. The TPP, as presented on Monday, will grant market access to the other 11 countries in the TPP in an amount equal to 3.25 per cent of Canada’s 2016 milk production. That equals about 250 million litres of milk, says Trevor Hargreaves of the BC Dairy Association. But the government has also announced a series of compensation programs for dairy, poultry and egg producers and processors. Those programs would remain in place for 10 years, with a tapering off for another five years. “The three pillars of the supply management system will remain protected,” a Government of Canada announcement reads. Four separate programs equalling $4.3
billion are expected to fill in any shortfalls felt at farms as the TPP is introduced. While dairy producers have rallied together over the last week as the trade negotiations were coming to a close, the BC Dairy Association reserved their criticism Monday, and showed some optimism. “Time is needed to fully evaluate the impacts of the agreement on our industry,” Hargreaves said. “The B.C. Dairy Association respects that it was a high priority for the government to enter into the TPP and, while the B.C. Dairy Association advocated for no additional access to the Canadian dairy market, we respect that additional access was a favourable outcome under the circumstances. We are optimistic that the protection programs for producer income, quota, and industry investment will continue to protect and defend supply management.” Still, the trade agreement could lead to a loss in revenues at farms across Canada, something that would have a trickle-down effect on the overall economy. “B.C. dairy farmers are not happy about the announcement of the TPP, as it means additional foreign access of dairy products into Canada amounting to about 3.25 per cent of Canada’s 2016 milk production, said Dave Taylor, BCDA Board chair. “This equates to

Locher Properties gives you peace of mind while we look after your vacation property needs through our premier home concierge services including:

We have always worked hard to grow our industry and produce a quality product. It’s a step backwards to lose market share and ultimately lose cows from our system. There is however, less anxiety today knowing that supply management is going to be sustainable for future generations – for that, we are grateful”. New Zealand was pushing for better access to the Canadian marketplace, through more market share and eliminated tariffs. Conservative candidate Mark Strahl called the TPP trade deal historic, and added that
“Canada’s negotiators held firm and protected the system.” It’s all good news for local farmers, he said. “Our Conservative government promised that we would promote free trade and protect our system of supply management and we’ve kept that promise by doing both,” said Strahl. “This is a great day for Canadian farmers and the Canadian economy.” Some opponents of the trade deal are concerned about food security, as more products move between borders. “Canadians can be assured that the food they put on their table will continue to be safe,” said Strahl. “Nothing in the TPP will change our world leading food safety standards.”

BUSINESS What does it mean to be a mentor? Mentors can serve as trusted confidantes to young people in need of professional guidance, providing the support or advice many need to break into a given industry. While mentoring is most commonly associated with the professional arena, it need not be restricted to corporate environments. When looking to give back to their communities, men and women may not think of mentoring. However, mentoring can be a powerful empowerment and personal development tool, for both mentors and the people being mentored. The following are a handful of tips to foster a successful mentoring relationship. • Ask a lot of questions. Mentors should expect to field a lot of questions, but they also should ask their share of questions. Asking questions is a good way to challenge people and get them thinking about various scenarios and situations they may find themselves in. This will help shape the person you’re mentoring into an individual who can anticipate situations and deal with them on his or her own. • Ensure confidentiality. Confidentiality should be of paramount importance in a mentoring relationship. The person you’re mentoring should feel comfortable coming to you with any situation and have your
support, as trust is essential to the mentormentee relationship. • Stretch a person’s abilities. The goal of a mentor is not to solve all of his or her mentee’s problems. Delegate tasks and provide advice to lead the mentee in the right direction. Encourage a mentee to take on more responsibilities, which can instill confidence and facilitate personal growth. • Enjoy the experience. Mentors benefit from mentoring, which can provide satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment that results from knowing you played an integral role in the success of another person. If your career is in a slump, mentoring may provide the breath of fresh air you need to recharge. Mentoring also may give you insight into another person’s life, which can be used in your own personal development. As long

Healthy ways to handle stress Stress affects people of all ages. The symptoms of stress can be extremely unpleasant, as participants in a study released earlier this year by the Statistic Brain Research Institute and the American Institute of Stress who reported experiencing physical symptoms of stress admitted to feeling fatigue, headache, upset stomach, and muscle tension, among other things.
Among those who reported feeling physical symptoms of stress, 77 percent admitted to feeling those symptoms regularly, citing job pressure and money as the primary causes of their stress. How men and women handle stress can impact both their immediate and long-term health, as stress has been linked to a host of problems and ailments, including sleep dysfunction and heart disease. Many
people cope with stress in unhealthy ways, which may only exacerbate the effects of stress on the body. Certain methods of handling stress may work for some people but not others, but the following are a few healthy ways to combat stress. • Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption. Many adults turn to alcohol at the end of a stressful day, but the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-
tion note that relying on alcohol to cope with stress may only create more problems down the road, and those problems will only increase your stress levels. In addition, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America notes that alcohol and caffeine can aggravate anxiety and trigger panic attacks. • Rely on a support network. Coworkers, family and friends have stressful days, too, and
such confidantes can help you handle stress in healthy ways. The ADAA recommends men and women dealing with stress let their support circle know how they can help relieve stress. Many people simply need to talk to someone after a stressful day, which can feel like a weight has been lifted off their shoulders. Let your support network know you’re there for them when they experience stress as well. • Get daily exercise.
Exercise pays a host of dividends, not the least of which is relieving stress. At the end of a stressful day, get some exercise instead of pouring yourself a drink or indulging in an unhealthy meal. When the body is physically active, the brain secretes endorphins, which are neurotransmitters that make you feel good. Regular exercise also helps you get a fuller, deeper sleep, which can be disrupted by stress. • Eat a healthy diet.
Diet also can affect how your body handles stress. Certain foods can tame stress. For example, oatmeal can boost levels of a calming chemical known as serotonin in your brain. That calming effect can make it easier to cope with stress. Other foods may help strengthen the immune system. Vitamin C, for instance, may help curb levels of stress hormones such as cortisol while simultaneously strengthening the immune system.

Tips for female entrepreneurs
Starting a business is no small task. But as the 21st century progresses, more and more female entrepreneurs are embracing the challenge of starting their own businesses. Though each entrepreneur has his or her own motivation for starting a business, the chance to be your own boss and turn an idea into a successful business is a driving force for both male and female entrepreneurs. And though male and female entrepreneurs face similar hurdles when starting a business, many female entrepreneurs might be more hesitant to set out on their own, fearing that old stigmas about women in the workplace might affect their chances at success by making potential investors or financial institutions wary of women setting out on their own. Though such concerns unfortunately are legitimate, women should not assume that such stigmas prevail. The continued success of female entrepreneurs has shed new light on just how successful female entrepreneurs can be. The following are a few tips for women looking to start their own business. * Seek out a mentor. Many female entrepreneurs have blazed the trail you are about to embark on, and such women can prove an invaluable resource as you begin your journey. Find a female business owner you can connect with and ask her for any advice she can offer. She might not be able to help you with any specifics regarding your business, but she can very well share stories of
what you can expect as a woman setting out to start her own business. * Have an airtight business plan. As unjust as it is, a stigma about women in the workplace still exists in the minds of some professionals. This means women must be especially diligent and detailed when creating their business plan. One helpful hint is to act as if you are pitching yourself. Look at your business plan and ask if you would invest in yourself. Ask yourself the questions you would ask a fellow entrepreneur if he or she approached you with the same business plan you just developed. There’s no harm to be done by using every resource at your disposal, especially your own business savvy and experience. * Don’t expect to finance the business entirely on your own. Unless your business is going to be especially small, you’re going to need capital to start your business. If you think you can finance the business on your own, you might want
to reconsider. A business loan or investors can help you plan for the unexpected. If you attempt to go it alone, open your business and then find you need a business loan, the lending institution might find your brand has already been damaged and is less likely to succeed. That can make it harder to secure a business loan. Though it’s possible to finance your business entirely out of your own pocket, it never hurts to partner up with a bank or a handful of investors. * Rely on your support system. Many women with business experience might feel they need to prove something to themselves when starting their own business and need to do so entirely on their own. While that’s great motivation, underestimating the value of your support system, including your spouse, children and even your mentor, is a mistake. Rely on these people who all want you to succeed, and turn their support into extra motivation.

It’s all humbug and hypocrisy GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer It’s a week since the Russians began their air strikes in Syria, and the countries that have already been bombing there for over a year – the United States and some other NATO countries – are working themselves up into a rage about it. The Russians are not bombing the right people, they are killing civilians, they are reckless, dangerous, and just plain evil. A statement last weekend by NATO’s 28 members warned of “the extreme danger of such irresponsible behaviour” and urged Russia “to cease and desist.” When a Russian warplane attacking Islamist targets in northwestern Syria strayed across the frontier into Turkey for a few minutes, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said that the Turks would have been within their rights to shoot it down. The weather was poor, the target was close to the border, and the Russians apologized afterwards, but NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that the incursion “does not look like an accident.” So what does he think the motive was, then? Russian pilots are getting bored,
and are having a competition to see who can stay in Turkish airspace longest without getting shot down? And the wicked Russians are killing civilians with their bombs, we are told. Yes, of course they are. So is the American-led coalition with its bombs. Unless you are fighting at sea or in the open desert, there will always be civilians in the same area as the “legitimate” targets. It’s particularly unbecoming for the United States to act holierthan-thou about the use of Russian air power in Syria, when it is simultaneously trying to explain why American planes bombed a hospital in Afghanistan last month and killed 22 civilians. Neither Americans nor Russians gain anything by killing civilians; it’s just an inevitable by-product of bombing. But the biggest Western complaint is that the Russians are bombing the wrong people. Contrary to American and European assertions, they are indeed bombing the “right” people, the troops of Islamic State that Western air forces have been bombing for the past year. But the Russians are also bombing the troops of the Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham. They might even bomb the troops of the Free Syrian Army, if they could find any. Don’t they realize that these people are trying to overthrow the evil Syrian dictator, Bashar al-Assad, whereas the cruel and
deluded fanatics who serve Islamic State are trying – well, actually, they are trying to overthrow the evil dictator Assad too. This brings us to the heart of the matter. Western propaganda makes a systematic distinction between Islamic State (bad) and the “opposition” forces (all the other groups). The problem is that there is really little difference between them: they all want to overthrow the Syrian regime, and they are all Islamist jihadis except for the tattered remnants of the Free Syrian Army. The Nusra Front was created in 2012 as the Syrian branch of ISIS (now Islamic State), and broke away early last year in a dispute over tactics and turf. It is now the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda. Ahrar al-Sham was also founded by an alQaeda member, and is a close military and political ally of Nusra. And until the propaganda needs of the moment changed, even the United States admitted that the “moderate” elements of the Syrian opposition had collapsed. There are no reliable statistics on this, but a good guess would be that 35 percent of the
rebel troops confronting Assad’s regime belong to Islamic State, 35 percent to the Nusra Front, 20 percent to Ahrar al-Sham, and 10 percent odds and sods including the Free Syrian Army. In other words, at least 90 percent of the armed opposition are Islamists, and probably no more than five percent are secular, pro-democratic groups. There are not three alternatives in Syria. There are only two: either Bashar al-Assad’s regime survives, or the Islamists take over. Really serious Islamists, who hate democracy, behead people, and plan to overthrow all the other Arab governments before they set out to conquer the rest of the world. They are probably being a bit over-optimistic there, but they would be seriously dangerous people if they commanded the resources of the Syrian state, and they would be a calamity for Syrians who are not Sunni Muslims. The Russians have accepted this reality, decided that it is in their own interests for Assad to survive, and are acting accordingly. The United States and its allies, by contrast, are hamstrung

by their previous insistence that Assad must go on human rights grounds. They cannot change their tune now without losing face, so they don’t bomb Assad themselves, but they persist in the fantasy that some other force can be created in Syria that will defeat both Assad and Islamic State. Moreover, the leaders of America’s two most important allies in the Muslim world, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, are determined that Assad should go (mainly because he is Shia, and they are Sunnis), and they would be very angry if the US helped him survive. That, plus American anger at Russia over Ukraine and lingering hostility from the old Cold War, is why NATO is condemning the Russian intervention in Syria so vehemently. But it is all humbug and hypocrisy.

Judge’s decision on houseboat crash Oct. 27 By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Yet another delay in the trial that was sparked by a crash on Shuswap Lake more than five years ago. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan was most recently slated to deliver her verdict on Wednesday, Oct. 21 in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops, but that has now been pushed back to Tuesday, Oct. 27. The man who was at the helm of an 18-foot Campion Runabout speedboat when it and a houseboat crashed head on, leaving the speedboat embedded inside the houseboat, is facing charges of criminal negligence causing death
and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. Leon Michael Reinbrecht of Celista stands charged in the crash that killed houseboat operator Ken Brown of Chase and resulted in eight other people being taken to hospital. The collision took place following a fireworks celebration in Magna Bay on the Canada Day weekend. Charges were not laid until 17 months after the collision, while police and Crown sifted through mountains of evidence. Other delays in the proceedings included time for the defendant to secure legal aid funding, a change in his lawyer as well as several hold-ups in
the trial itself. It began in February of this year and was initially sched-

Officials investigate ATV accident Authorities continue to investigate an ATV accident that claimed the life of a nine-yearold boy. The BC Coroners Service issued a news release stating
Liam Parker Smith was operating a quad ATV on his family’s Celista property in the early morning hours of Sept. 12. He was accompanied by another boy, age 10, when the
vehicle rolled, trapping them underneath. The boys were rescued by Liam’s older brother, who brought them to their farm yard. Police said the 10-year-

old sustained only minor bruising. Liam, however, was transported by air ambulance to BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. He died the following day from his injuries.
Men accused of maiming Mountie to stand trial Two men accused of severely injuring an RCMP officer near Kamloops last summer have been ordered to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Jerry Lee Lamar and Leon Francis Leclerc
were each charged with one count of attempting to wound, maim or disfigure RCMP Const. Paul Koester following an incident in Pritchard on July 5, 2014. Lamar is facing an additional count of
refusing to provide a breath sample. Lamar, from Pritchard, and Leclerc, from Falkland, were ordered to stand trial following a preliminary inquiry in Kamloops Provincial Court, the
details of which are protected by a publication ban. A trial date is expected to be set on Nov. 9. Neither Lamar nor Leclerc are in custody. Koester is the Mountie who shot and killed
22-year-old Ian Bush during an altercation in the RCMP detachment in Houston, the small town near Smithers. Koester was cleared in the subsequent investigation and no charges were laid.

Funds intended to improve Shuswap Internet access Families and communities with highspeed Internet access are expected to benefit from $202,063 in upgrades from provincial government taxpayer dollars that will speed up and expand their Internet service and remove bottlenecks. A grant of $72,000 will finance an extension of the fibre optic
network that is expected to improve service and relieve congestion on the current radio link from Little Shuswap to Chase. When complete, the new system is expected to increase speeds and capacity for more than 1,700 people and provide new access to more than 250 homes that currently have no
service. Some of the communities expected to see service improvements once the project is complete include: North Shuswap, Lee Creek, St. Ives, Little Shuswap Indian Band, and Chase. An additional $130,063 has been provided to build a fibre optic network con-
necting the residents of Sunnybrae. This new network will connect residents with high-speed Internet, phone and TV service. More than 600 residents will have access to the new service. “This upgrade to our region’s digital infrastructure will help ensure local families and
communities better take advantage of economic and educational opportunities available in today’s online world,” Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said.

Hello Bowlers! On this week’s agenda: membership numbers, leagues, and what is new to Village Lanes this season. So far, this has been our most successful season since opening in 2013, and we are only hoping for it to get better and better! Did you know that we currently have 107 adult night league bowlers registered at Village Lanes? That means that of the 4 leagues that we do have, we only have ONE team opening available. In our Youth Leagues we are currently sitting at roughly 30 kids who have registered this season, which is decent, but we are always looking for more! It’s never too late to register. Did you know that we also offer a Mom and Tot drop in time every Monday from 1pm2pm? Come on down, and get those youngsters strapped into a pair of bowling shoes! And finally, our Club 55+ Leagues (open to anyone 55 years of age or older). We currently have 101 seniors registered on our daytime leagues, with lots of room to expand! We need YOU to help us understand something. We live in a senior’s community, yet, we are having the most difficulty filling our Club 55+ leagues. How can this be? Village Lanes recently participated in the National Day of the Older Person, on October 1st by hosting an open house, with free bowling and free coffee provided for our community’s seniors. Guess how many people showed up? ZERO! We want you, the community to let us know what we can do to draw you into our establishment, come for a visit, and maybe even join a league. We are extremely pleased with our numbers this season, but we will NEVER turn down new bowlers looking to join the sport! That’s what we are here for! For any inquiries or feedback, please email us at bowl@villagelanes. ca! Have a GREAT weekend!

n Chase Heat faced the 100 Mile House Wranglers Friday, Oct. 2 to kick off “Stick It to Breast Cancer” month. Wranglers goalie Zane Steeves kicks out his pad making the initial save but gives up a juicy rebound which Tommy Brown tries to capitalize on as it bounces through the crease. The Heat would beat the Wranglers by a final score of 4-1.
Heat humming along By Scott Koch CONTRIBUTOR
The month of October got off to a decent start with the Chase Heat claiming four of a possible six points in a three-game weekend. First up on Friday the 2nd were the 100 Mile House Wranglers. These two division rivals don’t play well with each other. In the 1st with two-anda-half minutes gone, Logan Mostat scored unassisted. With a little over a minute left in the opening frame, Mostat popped his second in from Alex Durbeniuk and Tommy Brown. The Wranglers made it close with a marker with seven seconds left in the period. In the 2nd, Brown from Mostat and Kolten Moore made it 3-1. In the 3rd, Braden Hughes from Austin Willier and Michael Fidanza sealed the deal for a 4-1 victory for the Heat. Daniel Toews in the twine stopped 31 of 32 hard-rubber projectiles. Game 2 on the road versus the Kamloops Storm on Saturday night saw Chase play lackadaisically enough to deliver a win to the Storm. Never out of this contest on the Olympic-size ice surface, the Heat couldn’t get into second gear. Kamloops got one in the 1st, two in the 2nd
and one in the 3rd, with Chase getting two on the powerplay in the latter stages of the 2nd. Brown from Moore and Okino and then Mostat from Moore and Hughes. Nic Bruyere between the pipes played well with very little help from his friends for the loss. Sunday the 4th at the Art Holding Memorial Arena saw the Golden Rockets arrive depleted and worn down after visits to 100 Mile House and Kamloops. Chase started slow, popping a single marker in the 1st, Fidanza from Zachary Fournier and Mostat. In the 2nd, the Heat got five unanswered goals, Brown from Travis Beaubien and Hughes, Fournier from Durbeniuk and Fidanza, Fournier again from Trevor Okino and Grady Musgrave, Moore from Beaubien and Brown and then Hughes from Mostat. In the 3rd Chase got three more, Fidanza unassisted, Mostat from Musgrave and Okino and then Fournier for his hat trick marker from Mostat and Fidanza. Golden popped the balloon on the celebration by getting a late goal with 38 seconds left. Hot Topics: Fournier’s hat trick was a first for him in the KIJHL. He is featured on the League web-
site as “Who’s Hot.” The line of Fidanza, Fournier and Mostat scored second of the nine goals. Mostat is currently tied for fifth in KIJHL scoring. The Heat hold down second
spot in their division, three points back of the Storm. Next up are the Invermere based Columbia Valley Rockies on Thanksgiving, Sunday the 11th.

The many faces of the moon GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway
This year’s September moon was a pretty big deal because it entered a rare occurrence in the planetary cycle when all the works happened at once: a super blood moon full lunar eclipse – the last one being 30 years ago and the next showing up in 2033. This event has been very scientifically and astrologically interesting for sure, but there are plenty more faces to the moon than that orbiting around it, such as all the folklore, prophecies, superstitions and its countless affects on so many things. But let’s begin by breaking this mouthful-of-a-moon event down a bit before we get to the good stuff. A lunar calendar is based on cycles of the moon’s yearly and monthly phases, which are kept track of by the most common system
called the Gregorian calendar (aka the Western and/or Christian calendar, created in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII). This is a solar calendar based on the revolutions of the earth around the sun, which is slightly more than 12 lunar months long and about 354.37 days. Leap years (aka a tropical year) are needed to keep this calendar in alignment with all these every-so-slightly varying revolutions. A lunar month is about every 29.53 days, consisting of an ever-changing combination of sunlight and shadows known as the new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, waning crescent and new moon again. The oldest known lunar calendar was found in Scotland, dating back to around 8000 BC. A super full/new moon or supermoon is when a Full or New moon is nearest to Earth and they show up approximately every 14 full-moon cycles, or roughly once a year. This happens close to the autumnal equinox and is traditionally
known as the harvest or full corn moon. Following that one is the hunter’s moon in October. The seemingly bigger-than-usual size of the moon (hence “supermoon”) seen near the horizon, is a trick that your eyes are playing called the moon illusion, and it appears orange in color because it rises just after sunset.
“In the days before tractor lights, the lamp of the harvest moon which illuminated the fields... helped farmers to gather their crops.”
In the days before tractor lights, the lamp of the harvest moon which illuminated the fields throughout the night helped farmers to gather their crops. Full moons can also be very romantic, so there’s no doubt there was plenty of rolling around in the haystacks those nights too! Lunar eclipses can be partial or total and occur when the earth’s shadow blocks the sun’s light, which oth-
erwise reflects off the moon. Every year there are at least two partial lunar eclipses and as many as five, but total lunar eclipses – when the sun, moon and earth are in perfect alignment – are significantly less common. Occasionally one will coincide with a supermoon, like the one we saw in September. (A solar eclipse occurs only at the phase of the new moon, when it passes directly between the sun and earth and its shadow falls upon earth’s surface.) Full lunar eclipses have a rusty-brown or ‘blood’ colour, which is caused by Earth’s atmosphere extending beyond the planet, with the sunlight passing through it, and reaching the moon. The Blood Moon Prophecy was (for some) an apocalyptic interpretation of biblical end times, beginning with the April 2014 full lunar eclipse and ending on this last one, but luckily we’re all still here – whew! A ‘blue moon’ is when a second full moon occurs within the lunar month, and this blue tinge may result only when there are certain atmospheric

conditions going on, such as a big volcanic eruption or when there are exceptionally large fires. So to conclude, this crash course on ‘Moon 101,’ our September harvest super moon was combined with a full blood lunar eclipse, which is why it got everyone so excited (and anxious in some circles), because they just don’t happen every day. So stayed tuned for the upcoming phase two of the many other faces of the moon.

Fall boating requires extra care the water temperature, wearing a life-jacket and leaving a plan with a responsible person on shore who can call for help should the need arise.” Now that fall is near, boaters should make the most of what’s left of the boating season before the cold weather hits. By exercising a little caution and an ability to be self-sufficient when out on the water, they can more fully enjoy nature’s splendour and quiet waterways.

Locally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment. Business owners may reach out and support other neighborhood efforts, such as fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well.

board as a reserve. When boaters head out, they should be wary of reduced water levels that can result after a long, hot and dry summer season. Some of a boater’s favourite shallow water fishing holes may be inaccessible at this time of year. “Spectacular colours, peaceful solitude and the crispness of the air make boating in the fall a wondrous experience,” says John Gullick, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. “To make the most of this experience safely, however, boaters need to be extra diligent in their preparations before departing.

they’re overdue. A marine radio or cell phone will allow them to call for assistance should the need arise. Having a few tools and spare parts aboard will also allow them to fix minor problems that might otherwise cause them to be stranded out on the water. It’s important that boaters ensure that their boat and engine are in good shape and mechanically sound. Ethanol-based fuel can allow water contamination in the tank. The use of a fuel additive prevents water in the fuel line from freezing which could cause the engine to chug to a halt. If the boat has portable fuel tanks, it’s a good idea to have a spare on

Well into October, daytime temperatures can occasionally be balmy but dressing for the water temperature will help slow the onset of hypothermia should the unexpected happen and the boater find himself in the water. Accidental cold water immersion can be shocking, but they shouldn’t panic. It may take a minute or so to get their breathing under control after the initial shock but they will have at least 10-15 minutes, even in very cold water, to effect self-rescue before they start to lose muscle control in their arms and legs. This is where an approved life-jacket, either inflatable or inherently buoyant, is an essential part of a boater’s wardrobe to keep them afloat after they can no longer swim. In the fall, there are fewer boats on the water to offer assistance, if needed. Boaters should be sure to leave a float plan with a responsible person on shore who will know what to do if

Boating in the fall offers colourful vistas, quiet anchorages and excellent fishing but it is not without its challenges that necessitate self-sufficiency and taking some additional precautions to keep from running into trouble. The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the B.C. Wildlife Federation want to remind all boaters enjoying the fall season on the water to follow these tips to ensure that their excursions are both safe and enjoyable. Before heading out, be sure to check the weather forecast. The mixing of warm and cold air can quickly spawn high winds and waves making it treacherous for small boats. Fog, too, is an issue at this time of year making visibility difficult. Should boaters find themselves in a fog bank, they should proceed slowly and sound their horn at regular intervals to alert other boaters of their presence.

LARRY EDWARD GREENING February 14, 1957 - June 4, 2015 A celebration of life service for Larry will take place on Saturday October 10, 2015 at 2pm at Bowers Funeral Home. Online condolences may be sent through Larry’s obituary at www. bowersfuneralservice.com
RAY MORRIS July 25, 1936 - September 30, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Ray Morris, resident of Salmon Arm since 2001. Ray was born in Yorkshire, England and attended Ackworth, a Quaker boarding school, graduating with honours. He obtained his first degree at University of Birmingham and then a doctorate in sociology from Oxford University. He was Lecturer in Sociology and Social Statistics at Birmingham University 1960-64, then Associate Professor of Sociology at the American University in Washington 1964-68. Ray and his first wife, Ruth, came to Canada in 1968, settling in Toronto where he taught sociology at York University for 30 years. He was Director of the Graduate Program in Sociology for over 8 years and supervised over 40 graduate students during his time at York. For 13 years, he taught Sociology in French and English at York’s Glendon campus. During his years at York, Ray worked to ensure that there was space in the graduate program for women and people of colour. He was author of six books and contributed articles in French and English to various anthologies. Ray and Ruth retired to Salmon Arm in early 2001 and Ray cared for Ruth until she died from cancer later that year. Ray leaves Anne, his wife of 13 years whom he met in 2002 at the Sorrento Centre; his brother, Nigel, in England; four children: Peter in Michigan, Corinne (Richard) in England, Douglas in Toronto, and Joy (Dave) in Lethbridge; also three grandchildren: Owen and Pippa in England, and Harmony in Lethbridge with whom Ray has for several years enjoyed weekly playtimes via Skype. Ray was a passionate advocate of social justice, serving for 11 years as Co-chair of the Salmon Arm Ecumenical KAIROS Committee, a branch of the national KAIROS organization that unites 11 churches and religious organizations in faithful action for justice. He gave generously to numerous Canadian and international charities that strive for social and economic justice, and for a safeclimate world for the world’s children and future generations. A celebration of Ray’s life will be held Thursday, October 8, at 2 pm at First United Church, with Rev. Jenny Carter officiating. If so desired, donations in memory of Ray can be made online to KAIROS Canada: www. kairoscanada.org/donate/ Or send a cheque payable to KAIROS - United Church of Canada, marked “In memoriam Ray Morris”, and mail to KAIROS, 310 Dupont Street, Suite 200, Toronto, M5R 1V9. Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm. Online condolences may be sent through Ray’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
RHENA FRIESEN My beloved wife, our Mom and Grandma, Rhena June Wilson Friesen was born to (Arthur) John and Matilda Wilson on September 22, 1940 at Swalwell, Alberta. After a lengthy battle with cancer, she went to be with Jesus in the morning of September 26, 2015. She just celebrated her 75th birthday with family and friends. She grew up in a happy home with her two brothers. She enjoyed her school years. The family experienced mission life in Mexico and also in the Sunchild Mission in Alberta. She had a keen interest in missions, and for the less fortunate, especially children, all her life. She gave her heart to Jesus and was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite on March 1, 1953. Her Lord and His church were precious to her all her life. She was married to me, Harvey Friesen, on May 5, 1961 at Abbotsford, BC, where we lived a short time. We moved to Crooked Creek, Alberta and then to Edberg, Alberta. During these years, 3 daughters joined the family and we made many lifelong friends. In 1972, our family moved to Enderby, BC where Rhena’s parents lived. These were happy years for us. Mom especially enjoyed sewing, gardening, and beautiful flowers, and we had a few farm animals which delighted her and all of us. She was a lover of beauty. She was a lady who could make beautiful and useful things out of nothing. Happiness was in the simple things of life. She cared for many, and filled many hours preparing warm clothing for the needy. In 1975 our chosen daughter and sister, Shevta Melody joined our family from India. This was a long awaited joy for all of us. Mom was a sweet and gentle soul. Her life was not easy, but she believed in the power of prayer and the grace of God. Our parents’ golden years are a beautiful story. Their reuniting gave them 10 happy years filled with examples of Gods’ perfect love and mercy. Our father cared for Mom tenderly through her sickness, until her passing. In her last moments, Mom reached up her arms and called for Jesus to help her. The name of Jesus was precious to her until the end. Looking forward to meeting her again are: her beloved husband, Harvey; her daughters Marion and Larry Wiebe, Shevta Friesen, Mavis and Bruce Schartner all of Enderby, BC, Margery and Vince Lombard of Botha, Alberta. There are eleven grandchildren and five great grandchildren, all of whom brought her much joy. Also her two brothers, Jim and Marcella of Mission, BC, Les and Margi Wilson of Colima, Mexico; her sisters in law Rebecca and Wilbert Thiessen of Neilburg, Saskatchewan, Virginia Friesen and Roberta McKinnon of Brandon, Manitoba; and one brother in law, Robert Friesen of Crooked Creek, Alberta, and a host of much loved relatives and friends. Funeral Services were held at the Church of God in Christ Mennonite, Enderby, BC on September 30, 2015. Ministers Bob Klassen and Craig Thiessen officiating. Interment followed in the Grindrod Cemetery Funeral arrangements were in the care of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm. Online condolences may be sent through Rhena’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

DZIERZENGA, ERICH AUGUSTIN February 22, 1924 – September 28, 2015 Erich Augustin Dzierzenga died peacefully in Salmon Arm on Monday, September 28th at the age of 91. He will be missed by his son Dieter and his wife Ingrid, his daughter Conny and her husband Ken and by so many friends. He was born in Niewiadom / Oberschlesien. He worked primarily in the metal industry in Southern Germany and was a machinist before he retired in 1972. He and his wife Elvira built a house and raised a family of three children in Wasseralfingen Germany. He perfected the art of “puttering”. He taught himself to perform many tasks from cutting hair to cobbling shoes. He and his wife moved to Salmon Arm in 1994 to continue to enjoy their retirement. He was predeceased by his wife Elvira of 60 years and by his daughter Karin. He was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in summer 1966. His strong faith in the biblical promise of being resurrected back to life on a paradise earth provided much comfort. A special thanks to all the health care professionals at SLGH and Dr. Heunis for his kindness and personal touch. His quiet and kind nature was known by all and it was his wish that no service would be performed in his behalf. At a later date, arrangements will be made for friends, families and neighbors to come together for reflection and refreshments. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm, (250) 833-1129.
