New tax to fund water projects By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors unanimously approved the establishment of a new parcel tax for residents within the designated Shuswap Watershed Council Service areas. At the Nov. 19 board meeting in Salmon Arm, directors voted to approve the additional tax, which is estimated to add between $10 to $11 to each property’s 2016 tax bill.
Approval was received because fewer than 10 per cent of eligible electors in electoral areas C - South Shuswap, D - Falkland/Salmon Valley/Deep Creek, E - Rural Sicamous, F - North Shuswap and the District of Sicamous signed and submitted elector response forms protesting the tax prior to the Nov. 17 deadline. Only 645 of the 1,534 responses needed to kill the tax were received, thereby confirming elector approval of the $180,000 to be collected annually for three years through a
land parcel tax. Area E director and board chair Rhona Martin said she was looking forward to the tax providing sustainable funding for the council, which focuses on water quality monitoring in the Shuswap watershed and safety on the water. While funding the watershed council has been the subject of debate around the regional district board table, there were very few comments at last week’s meeting other than those who expressed satisfaction with the outcome.
Area F director Larry Morgan thanked fellow board members for approving a parcel tax in which every property owner will pay the same amount, as opposed to the staff recommendation of a more traditional tax structure based on a property’s assessed value. Instead of the parcel tax, the City of Salmon Arm will contribute $40,000 per year for a period of three years to be funded 50 per cent from the city’s general revenue and 50 per cent from its water and sewer fund.

Targeting food waste
CSRD: Program looks to reduce impact to landfills. By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
Keeping food waste out of the landfill is the latest initiative in the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s Solid Waste Management Plan. At the Nov. 19 board meeting in Salmon Arm, directors approved an Organics Diversion Strategy, including associated work plan and timeline – subject to the annual budget approval process. Environmental Team Leader Ben Van Nostrand reminded directors that organic waste diversion was one of three top-priority items when the board approved an update to the solid waste management plan in April 2015. In August, staff hired Maura Walker & Associates (MWA) to draft an organics diversion strategy. A workshop with staff from member municipalities, local businesses, haulers and compost facility operators was chaired by MWA on Sept. 10 in Salmon Arm. The purpose of the workshop was to share components of a draft strategy, options related to organics processing, collection, regulation and enforcement, as well as communications and education. “The input and feedback received at the workshop was incorporated into the development of MWA’s Organics Diversion Strategy for the CSRD,” wrote Van Nostrand in his report to the board. He noted the Ministry of Environment has identified targets to be reached by 2020 for
municipal solid waste programs: Lower the municipal solid waste disposal rate from 570 to 350 kilograms per person and have 75 per cent of B.C.’s population covered by organic waste disposal restrictions. “Implementation of the proposed organics diversion strategy will help to satisfy both of the Ministry of Environment’s key municipal solid waste goals,” Van Nostrand said. The Organics Diversion Work Plan and
Hills Farm and/or the existing Salmon Arm Landfill composting facility. Also in the plan for 2018 is an expansion of the food waste ban to include the residential sector within the Salmon Arm “waste shed” and provision of drop-off facilities at the Salmon Arm Landfill and rural transfer stations in the Salmon Arm waste shed for self-haul residential and industry, commercial and institutional (ICI) customers.
“According to CSRD waste characterization studies... approximately 30 per cent of the waste being landfilled is organic waste.” -Ben Van Nostrand Schedule for 2016 includes a financial evaluation of the regional district’s solid waste management plan to see if tipping fees need to be increased and a trial with food waste processing facility Spa Hills Farm with respect to capacity. Also planned for 2016 is a ban on the disposal of commercial food waste at the Salmon Arm Landfill. Plans for 2017 include trial residential food waste composting at the Salmon Arm landfill, inception of a pilot curbside collection program in Salmon Arm and an evaluation of Spa Hills Farms as a processing facility. In 2018, the plan calls for implementation of a residential curbside collection in Salmon Arm based on the performance of Spa
Van Nostrand pointed out Implementation of the plan will require a comprehensive public consultation process, including one-on-one meetings with businesses that will be impacted by the roll out of such a challenging waste diversion initiative. “This strategy and
ambitious work plan and schedule are aligned with the approved SWMP goal to eliminate organic waste from the landfills within the CSRD,” says Van Nostrand. “According to CSRD waste characterization studies conducted in 2013, approximately 30 per cent of the waste being landfilled is organic waste.” Implementation of an organics diversion program will reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the landfills and increase the life span of existing landfills. Directors endorsed the strategy unanimously and, in some cases, enthusiastically. Area D director Rene Talbot went so far as to tell the board he is quite prepared to offer money from his gas tax fund to do a pilot project in rural areas to see if the rural pick-up is feasible. Salmon Arm director Chad Eliason praised Van Nostrand for a presentation he recently made to city council and offered enthusiastic support for the plan. “We’re excited by the project and to be on the leading edge,” he said. “Thank you for the report, and hard work.”

No jail time for Salmon Arm meth seller By Cam Fortems
KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A 63-year-old man from Salmon Arm has escaped a prison sentence for trafficking crystal meth after a joint submission was accepted by a B.C. Supreme Court justice. David May pleaded guilty this week to a single count of trafficking out of his home in Salmon Arm. Crown prosecutor Anthony Varesi said
RCMP armed with a search warrant broke down May’s door and entered his home to find him passed out in bed. In his closet was about $400 worth of crystal meth, along with score sheets and drug paraphernalia. “This is not a diala-dope operation,” Varesi said. “But, it did involve sale of drugs from a residence.” Varesi and defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen together asked for a
suspended sentence followed by 18 months of probation. Nine months of that probation will see May under a daily curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Jensen said May has struggled on and off during his life with addiction. He suffered a traumatic brain injury two decades ago that left him cognitively impaired. “It only exacerbated issues in Mr. May’s
life,” Jensen said, noting prior to the offence, May fell in with “the wrong crowd” after being clean and sober for a year-and-a-half. “Given his age and his traumatic injury, he’s somewhat susceptible to peer pressure,” Jensen said. Justice Murray Blok agreed with the joint submission on the suspended sentence. May is also under a drug and alcohol prohibition during the 18 months.

Until Christmas!
Salmon Arm will be putting out the welcome mat for Syrian refugees. In early October, Brian Ayotte and Joyce Henderson held a meeting to see if there was support to bring between three and five Syrian families to safety and a new life in the Shuswap. Ayotte says many people had been talking about bringing refugees to Salmon Arm throughout the community so he and Henderson called a meeting and contacted churches and nonchurch individuals. “It was like the penny dropped; we started with 16 people at a meeting on Oct. 4 and at the third meeting, Nov. 15, we had 40 people.” In the past month, several groups and individuals have eagerly committed to help make this happen. Churches include First United, St. John’s Anglican, St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic, Lakeside Methodist, First Methodist, Deo Lutheran, Broadview E Free, Shuswap Community, Cornerstone Christian Reformed and the Mennonite Central Committee. “That’s phenomenal; everyone is committed and enthusiastic,” said Ayotte. “The secular group includes individual citizens and Rotary. It’s quite a cross- section.” First United, St.

n Brian Ayotte looks over a pamphlet which talks about what the Syrian refugees are facing and how Canadians can help Joseph’s and several citizens have committed to take a family, says Ayotte. “It is very likely the rest of the members of the group will collaborate on two more families.” He says there has been great input from Immigrant Services Shuswap, who will offer services to the refugees once they arrive. “These refugees are victims also, and one of the lines that came in the discussion group was, ‘we’re not going to allow our compassion to be limited by fear,’ and to do that without being naive,” said Ayotte, noting they will be coming from one of the refugee camps in Jordan, Turkey or Lebanon where they have been well-vetted by Citizenship and Immigration Canada and the UN High Commission for Refugees in terms of criminal records and status. “We’re going to be
responsible, intelligent and compassionate, and the government has a very reliable process. That’s why we’re going through government.” Out of the population of 23 million, 12 million are either trapped in Syria hiding in the rubble, or they’re in neighbouring countries, he adds. There are 1.6 million Syrian refugees in Turkey, 1.2 million in Lebanon and 750,000 in Jordan. “This is a crisis created by humanity, the worst crisis since World War 2,” says Ayotte, pointing out that 235,000 Syrians have been killed in the past five years since the civil war began. The group needs to raise roughly $25,000 to support a family of four for one year. “So, the sponsoring group has to find accommodation, which is a big challenge, furnish the accommodation, provide clothing
for adults and children, transportation, introduction to schools and assist with the learning of English,” Ayotte says. “And it will be a huge cultural challenge for these people; it will be like they’ve landed on the moon.” Diane Desrosiers at Immigrant Services Shuswap will help with a lot of that, says Ayotte, but the sponsoring group is looking to the community for support. Anybody with accommodation, a oneor two-bedroom suite, is invited to call Immigrant Services Shuswap at 250-804-2726. “Our second plea and also urgent, is to find someone who speaks Arabic,” Ayotte says. Anybody who wants to participate is invited to call Joyce Henderson at 250-832-4127, Pat Hutchins at 250832-7242 or Brian Ayotte at 250-8043431.

Anglemont: a Shuswap success SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman A hillside community nearly at the end of the paved highway in the North Shuswap, Anglemont is somewhat of an enigma, as despite its isolation it continues to thrive throughout the year. During a recent visit to Anglemont, I hiked the new trail into Evelyn Falls, toured the massive log inn and met with the president of the community centre, Fay Begin, to get a sense of what makes the community tick. Looking back on my way home, the fresh snow atop Angle Mountain, named by George Dawson in 1877 for the angle formed by the Seymour Arm of Shuswap Lake, glistened in the sun. Given its lack of good agricultural land, it is no wonder Anglemont was the last part of the North Shuswap to become settled. The first settlers, brothers Bill and Tom Hudson, arrived in 1913, which resulted in the creek being named after them. And the falls on this creek were named after Bill’s oldest daughter, Evelyn. By 1923, there were enough schoolaged children to warrant a school, which
was quickly built out of logs by the settlers. As was the case in much of the Shuswap region, these early settlers eked out a living by growing some fruits and vegetables, hunting and fishing and by cutting poles and cordwood. In 1925, despite having cut and sold 64 cords of firewood and shipping out 161 crates of strawberries along with currants, loganberries and gooseberries, Fred Hodson’s family still required another source of income. And thus lakeshore tourism began as they opened their home to paying guests from Victoria and Kamloops. However, by 1938, a number of the original settlers had left or passed away and, with few children left in the community, the school was forced to close. The community languished until Jack Duffy arrived from California in 1959 and purchased Tom Hudson’s homestead to first try his hand at farming. With his experience of building a small subdivision in Chico, he began developing Anglemont Estates by first building a campground, motel, marina, golf course and a floating diner. Despite most everyone considering Duffy’s plan to build a development at the end of a gravel road in a remote location crazy, he carried on. With the help of partners, additional parcels of land were purchased
and a large log lodge was built. By 1971, more than two-thirds of the initial 300 lots had been sold and the development had become a fourseason success. Today, Anglemont’s mix of small lots and acreages is a true recreational community with a busy lodge, marina and golf course. As of 2011, there

were 411 residents of Anglemont. Although fewer than the 454 recorded in 2006, this is nonetheless a fair number of people living so far from a major centre. Most of them are very pleased that despite the high costs, they now have a clean and reliable source of water thanks to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District. In 1981, with many of the residents of the development aging, the Lakeview Seniors Centre was built with funding from all levels of government and through local initiatives. Today, the population has shifted to younger retirees and some young families. As a result, the name has changed to Lakeview Community Centre and the range of ac-

During most days of the week there are 40 or more residents at the centre visiting; playing table tennis or pool, or carpet bowling; or taking courses in crafts and painting. As Fay explains, “the centre is hugely important for the well-being of the community.” Perhaps the most popular activities are music and drama, given the Anglebay Entertainers host the very popular Pig and Whistle theatre show every two years for eight nights, with upwards of 1,400 people in attendance. Plus they host the community Christmas party each year. Recently, the community centre has seen significant renovations and more are planned. With its new large generator, the building can also serve as an emergency preparedness centre. Now that there is so
much going on at the centre, there are fewer snowbirds heading south in the winter. Next up in the busy community of Anglemont is their first coffee house on Nov. 27 and their craft fair the following day.

Pickles is emotional. He’s a worrier. He doesn’t do change very well. New situations are not for Pickles. He gets all in a fluster. Pickles is not the choice for children. He’s a perfect cat for adults who are looking for a friend who’s a bit on the complicated side. The great outdoors would be a bit much for Pickles at this time, although we can see him enjoying this once he chills out a bit more. Mr Pickles likes to talk... a lot.

Tolerance needed in refugee crisis Social media, in case you haven’t yet noticed, has erupted over whether Canada should be taking in 25,000 Syrian refugees. Lightning rod issues have a tendency to attract the best and worst in us, be it reasoned debate or ill-informed, shallow, name-calling and just stupid comments. No matter where you land on this deeply polarizing issue – be it that Canada is morally beholden to accept the refugees, or that we are foolishly courting danger by welcoming them in – there are two certainties that must be kept in mind. The first being, they are coming. The newly elected federal government has decided to make it so, and make it so, it will. Secondly, and most importantly, we need to remember that these refugees are flesh and blood people, just like even the most self-righteous amongst us on either side of the debate. And as such, they must be afforded every dignity as members of the human family. They are fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. Not statistics, and certainly not “Them.” A civilized society, that takes pride in its Charter of Rights and Freedoms, can do no less. The spotlight, then, is on the federal government to make sure these refugees, once they arrive, are properly supported with the same care in which all Canadians are governed. The onus is also on the media to hold the government true to this task in the months and years to come. Novelist George Elliot (Mary Ann Evans) wrote that “The responsibility of tolerance lies with those who have the wider vision.” She wrote this well over a century ago, but her words still apply today. Are we wrong or right in welcoming the Syrian refugees into our fold? History will tell. In the meantime, how we choose to conduct ourselves as individuals, in response, is everything. — The Now

OPINION
Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.
Seeing the forest for the virtual trees As I sit here at the computer, looking out the window, watching the snow fall and dreading the months ahead, I cannot help but wish it was summer once again and I was sitting in a boat somewhere casting a fly line. I have always enjoyed my time on the water. I’m content to just sit in my boat and enjoy all the wonders of nature around me. Fishing is less about catching fish than it is about actually being in the great outdoors. My point being that even though winter is my least favourite season, I would still rather be outdoors than siting here, indoors, at the computer. However, I’m not so sure the same can be said about far too many young people nowadays, who, it would seem, simply don’t relate to nature and the outdoors. They’re too busy holed up in their bedrooms playing virtual reality video games rather than getting some fresh air. Granted, virtual reality games have evolved over the years, especially virtual reality fishing games. Some of them are pretty cool. But sitting in a
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray dark room is not the same as sitting in a boat, out on a lake, breathing in fresh air and feeling the warmth of the sun on your face. No graphics program is the same as real life. The hours I do have to spend sitting in front of my computer are mostly spent gathering information for my column. Having said that, I do recognize the fact kids today certainly have to know a lot more about computers and how to find things on the Internet than I’ll ever need to know. Computers, electronic gizmos and virtual realities are all a part of their world, part of their learning process, part of their reality. I have nothing against
computers or video games. I also know that video games require a high level of skill. However, as much fun as playing a video game may be, there is still something to be said for doing things like casting a real fishing line to real fish. Not only is the heart-pounding thrill of tying into a three- or four-pound rainbow trout more satisfying than testing your skill level against a simulated facsimile, there is something to be said for experiencing all the sights and sounds and smells around you – something to be said for experiencing the sense of peace and tranquility that comes with spending time on the water. Not every kid is into fishing, the same way not every young person is into hiking or cross-country skiing or any of the many activities that take place in the outdoors. I guess my real concern with virtual reality games is that with spending so much time sitting in front of a computer screen, for too many young people there also comes a disconnect with nature. If those young people can’t relate to na-
ture, how can they ever respect nature? And without respect, how are they ever going to care about and for nature? On the other hand, I have complete and absolute faith in young people. They will figure things out the same way we managed and, perhaps the mistakes that we made will be corrected by the next generation. Our natural world is an ever-changing place. Attitudes change too. We just got rid of a federal government that cared little about nature, a government that was willing to sacrifice the wonders and beauty of nature for the sake of development and profit. Hopefully things will improve with the current government. I suppose when it comes right down to it, virtual reality games are but a part of the younger generation’s reality. If that is true, then it is up to us to make sure that young people at least get a chance to know and understand and appreciate the real wonders of nature – then let them make the best decisions they can.

VIEW POINT
WORSHIP r e h t e g To
SABNES holds crucial role In the early ’90s the Salmon Arm Nature Bay Society asked for and received nearly half a million dollars of federal money to rebuild the topography of Christmas Island making it more naturallooking with ponds, waterways and small hills. This work was done to benefit both humans and wildlife. At that time it was decided, with these funds,
to build trails along the waterfront including wooden walkways and platforms. The volunteers of the nature society have spent many hours over the last 25 years constructing and maintaining these works and are now being told by a few dog owners that they have no right to restrict their dog on these trails. I was at the council meeting of Nov. 23,
and I am sure my fellow volunteers were offended by a comment that the nature society was a faceless and unqualified organization. In fact, they have been given the job by council and the Ministry of Environment of making those important decisions regarding access to the Nature Trust lands. William R. Eaton
Climate action needed now This is it. The earth’s warming is set to breach the one degree Celsius threshold in 2015. This frightening statement comes to us from the UK’s Meteorological Office. The world would then be halfway towards two degrees C, the gateway
to dangerous warming. So far, 150 nations have pledged to “do something” about climate change. It won’t be easy. Limiting warming to 2 C, to avoid the most dangerous effect of climate change, will require big changes on multiple fronts: a meaning-
ful price on carbon pollution, faster growth of renewables, reduction in deforestation, and improvements in land use. The moment is upon us, we must act, every one of us to ensure a future for our children. Dona Grace-Campbell

SOUTH SHUSWAP Hall showcased at meetings Members of the board of the Arts Council for the South Shuswap played host to the Economic Development Advisory Committee for the Shuswap, which meets bi-monthly. The meeting was held at the new Arts Council facility in the lower level of Carlin Hall on Nov. 26 and included community mayors and Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors, who were given a first-hand look at how a successful collaboration can foster economic development in one’s community. “CSRD Area C Director Paul Demenok has toured the facility periodically over the last three months and is liking what he sees through this collaboration,” says Karen Brown. Arts Council administrator. “He recognizes that programming and infrastructure needs to be put in place to attract and retain families living in the Shuswap.” Demenok confirmed this at the Nov. 19 board meeting when he
urged directors to support a $22,337 grantin-aid request to fund LED lighting, lowflow toilets and handsfree faucets upstairs in the hall. “The Arts Council has saved this wonderful hall,” he told directors. “It is a wonderful community building project.” Brown says having the visual arts, dance, music and theatre programming all under one roof, with a high level of teaching, is very unique to the Interior and, due to its nonprofit structure, pricing for the programming is highly affordable. “The Arts Council for the South Shuswap is an important and unique cultural asset that benefits everyone who lives in the Shuswap,” adds Demenok. “It provides children and youth with developmental programming. It provides recreational options for adults and will attract new families to move into our area. I would encourage everyone in the Shuswap to get behind this organization and to support it in ev-

ery way possible.” Like any other nonprofit organization, the Arts Council is supported and in need of sponsorships and grants-in-aid to keep its doors open and its programming offerings vibrant. “As you can see from the many initiatives we’ve undertaken, there is ample opportunity to volunteer your time, sponsor a program or take out a yearly membership to the Arts Council,” says council president Lona Heinzig. “If you’re interested, we’d certainly love to hear from you.” Through the addition of the programs offered under the Arts Council, the number of hours for the use of the hall will grow from 200 in a year to almost 2,000. The mutual support between the Arts Council and the Carlin and District Recreation Association, which operates upstairs, will raise exposure and build an audience to take in the programming and presentations offered on both floors

South Shuswap open for business South Shuswap is growing its business world. • That Damm Market Dean and Sherry Damm opened That Damm Market May 15 on the Trans-Canada Highway in downtown Sorrento. The store has a bakery with homemade bread and daily lunch specials Monday to Friday, as well as groceries, homemade soup, liquor, beer and cigarettes. The Damm Market also has the Sears Catalogue outlet and the Purolator courier.
“We have a little of everything,” says Dean. “We have a little coffee area where people can enjoy a muffin and chat with each other.” The Damms have lived in Sorrento for 13 years and gave up driving truck for the store. “It was getting a little bit crazy and dangerous; I did it for 32 years,” he says. “This place was for sale. It was kinda rundown so we spent a month cleaning and renovating.” Dean says he is learning the
business every day. “It’s a tough business but we’re trying every day and I enjoy being home.” • Chinese Garden The Chinese Garden is serving Cantonese style and a little bit Szechuan. There are 32 seats inside the restaurant located at the Market Place Mall but the service is primarily focussed on take-out. Chinese Garden is open Tuesday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday and
Sunday 4 to 8 p.m. and closed Monday. • Subway Sorrento Sandeep Mahal has owned a Subway Restaurant in Chase for three-and-a-half years and recently opened one in Sorrento. Subway serves basic sandwiches, muffins, soups, wraps and salads. “We’re getting a good response from the local community,” Malal says. “We’re in a great location next to Munro’s right on the highway.”

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
How to throw a party stress free (NC) Not much is as taxing as hosting a large group and things can derail fairly quickly. Stop, take a deep breath, and follow this simple guideline to holiday entertaining that is certain to be merry and bright: Set a budget: It’s easy to get spendy when everyone will be scrutinizing the details of your event, but make sure to set a realistic limit. If you plan early enough, there are many DIY projects to spruce up your home décor without breaking the bank. Head to Pinterest for inspiration and your local dollar store for supplies. Whatever your budget, you can throw a great party. Make a guest list and check it twice: Who you
invite to break bread with is important to a successful event. Don’t feel that you have to invite everyone and their friends in order to be a good host. It’s hard not to invite your crazy Aunt Evelyn, but you can probably skip the gossipy co-worker. Fill their plates: Whether you’re having it catered or tackling the job yourself, the holidays are a time for old favourites, but don’t be afraid to throw in a contemporary spin. Just don’t try a new recipe the day of the party. Test the food out on your family first to avoid serving 50 collapsed soufflés. And make it easy on yourself by only serving nibbles. People love to graze, it’s easier to
make the dishes ahead of time and this gives you the opportunity to offer variety to a group of diverse eaters. Set the mood: Don’t forget an essential element to entertaining: music. The tunes at any event really help to set the ambience, but with everything else that you’re doing, don’t add the time-consuming task of building a perfect mix. “Make it easy on yourself,” says SiriusXM Canada. They advise to simply use your computer or mobile device to access commercial-free music to suit every taste through SiriusXM Internet Radio. From Christmas classics to Hanukkah favourites, keep the party going with hits from the past, current
club anthems, or traditional tunes. You can listen free for a limited time at www. siriusxm.ca. When it’s all done: Make sure all your guests have a safe ride home by having a few cabs pre-ordered. Surprise them with an adult “goodie bag” to take along, which may include water bottles, ibuprofen, a recipe for a “hair of the dog” cocktail, and anything that shows you care. Get creative. And as the door closes behind the very last guest, you deserve to sit down, relax and toast yourself for throwing a sensational holiday bash. www.newscanada.com
Protect yourself this winter: get a flu shot (NC) People aged 65 years of age or older should get their flu shot this winter, says Ontario’s acting chief medical officer of health, Dr. David Williams. “Your immune system gets weaker as you age and it becomes harder for your body to fight off infection,” he points out. “This means the flu can be serious or even deadly in older people, especially for those with heart disease or who’ve had a stroke.” Last year in
Ontario, the majority of flu-related hospitalization and deaths were in people aged 65 years or older. Kids between 5 and 9 years old are most likely to spread the flu because of their close contact with other children at school. If you have young children or grandchildren, they could give you the flu. “Getting a flu shot is the best way to protect yourself from getting the flu from people around you,” says Dr. Williams.
“The shot can lower your risk of serious complications like pneumonia. If you do get the flu, you may not get as sick.” Dr. Williams advises people to get the flu shot early, as it can take about two weeks for the shot to give you protection against flu viruses. Flu viruses change every year and the flu vaccines are updated to protect against the strains that are most likely to circulate in the current season. That’s why adults, especially seniors,
ARBOR LODGE RETIREMENT LIVING AFFORDABLE
should get the flu shot every year. Flu shots can be received free of charge as part of Ontario’s Universal Influenza Immunization Program at participating pharmacies, your local health care provider’s office or public health clinic. Find the flu shot clinic nearest you at Ontario.ca/flu. Other things you can do to help avoid getting the flu include: • Washing your hands often with

We can be better than our history
GUEST SHOT Dale Bass Here’s an idea: Let’s round up all those Muslims who live in Canada and put them in a place where we can watch them, to make sure they’re not secretly terrorists determined to kill us all. We know how to do it. All we need to do is look back a few decades to how this country — our country — treated its Japanese-Canadian citizens just because some others from their homeland decided to go to war with the U.S. and Canada stepped up to fight them alongside our southern neighbour. Those with a longer memory might recall when we peace-loving citizens of what we proudly declare to be a melting pot of cultures shipped off Canadians with Austro-Hungarian backgrounds to internment camps not only during the First World War, but for two years after it ended. Remember the War Measures Act in 1970, the year then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau removed most of our rights, sent armed troops into Quebec, arrested and kept in jail without bail 497 people and later released 433 of them with no charges laid? Let’s look at that other sterling moment in Canadian history, when our first prime minister, Sir John A. MacDonald, and many of his fellow parliamentarians decided our First Nations parents were savages and we had to save their children from growing up in their own culture and learning their own languages. We’re still dealing with the aftermath of that shameful chapter in our history. Now, some of us want to turn on the Muslims
and, in crying out for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to forget about bringing in 25,000 Syrian refugees, they have already declared the terrorists the winner in this mess. Those terrorists hiding behind their fake religious front are now dictating policy to Canada — they’re doing it through every one of you who has said no, stop, don’t let them in, there might be a terrorist among them. That must be an extremely patient terrorist given it can take several years to see a refugee claim processed, with every member of the family having to go through security, medical and criminal-record checks. It’s much more practical for the determined terrorist who doesn’t want to wait to just get himself a fake passport and drive across the border or hijack a plane
and fly it into a building. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S. has seen 745,000 refugees settle there and only two — a pair of Iraqis living in Kentucky — have been arrested on terrorism charges. They admitted to using improvised explosive devices against U.S. soldiers in Iraq and tried to send weapons and money to al-Qaeda. Think about it — 745,000 people and just two of them found to be involved in terrorist activities. I know, some of you are saying there could be so many more who just haven’t been found yet. Did you forget some of the Canadians who have gone to fight with the terrorists were born in Canada? There were a lot of ugly things to be found on social media last weekend, but one of the most hideous was a photograph of a couple

Council grapples with budget MAYOR’S MESSAGE Nancy Cooper Welcome to winter! Please be cautious out there. Ensure you have good snow tires, watch for ice and carry sandbags. On the up side, there are so many won-
derful Shuswap winter activities to enjoy! I want to start out by congratulating the following local businesses on some significant anniversaries: Askews Foods family-owned grocery store, 86 years; EZRock (CKXR) radio, formerly known as Big R, 50 years; and Braby Motors familyowned auto dealership, 50 years. As you may be aware, 2016 city budget deliberations are now complete. It was a difficult
budget year due to a shortfall from 2014 that can be attributed to lower than projected new growth, successful property reassessments and the cost of snow removal. I will add the memorandum from our chief financial officer to my blog on the city website for your personal review. See www. salmonarm.ca and click on Mayor’s Blog. Staff spent months preparing the budget; council received it well in advance and
came prepared. Council opted to fully fund some initiatives, partially fund or ask for partnerships to fund others and, in many cases, totally cut initiatives out of the budget. We reviewed 30-plus specific requests with the same sharp pencil and decided to pay $315,000 on a debenture debt, saving approximately $90,000 in interest. After eight hours of deliberations we settled on a 2.97 per cent tax increase.
Fashion for Famine
In dollar terms, this means that an average home will see a $45 tax increase minus an $11 dollar decrease in solid waste recycling fees for a total increase of $34. There is one budget item that each of you who are able can help out with. By shovelling the sidewalks in front of your home you not only reduce snow removal costs to the City but, more importantly, you become a much appreciated neighbour.

Ambil says the

The book has been updated and is now available. “We revised it because it would say things like across the street from Central Hardware or mention J-Lanes,” Ambil says. “And it’s updated to reference things like Lakeshore instead of Front Street.” Members of the society will be selling the book at the Mall at Piccadilly on Nov. 26 and 27. The cost is $25 and includes membership in the parent group. It is also available at local book stores.

For 79 years, the Okanagan Historical Society (OHS) has produced an annual report in the form of articles provided by eight member branches in the Okanagan Valley from Osoyoos to Salmon Arm. “This is the longest continuously published society report in B.C.,” says Shuswap branch member Diane Ambil. “It began in 1929 and apart from the war years, they’ve published one every year.” The reports cover the Shuswap, Similkameen and Okanagan, says Ambil, noting that although they are under the umbrella of the parent Okanagan Historical Society, each branch operates independently. Ambil became an active member of the Shuswap branch when
she retired in 2009 and has been local branch editor since then. “This year, local articles include a 100-year history of the Tappen Co-op, contributed by Rosemary and Allan Wilson, a piece about the attractions of the Salmon Arm setting by Estelle Noakes and two biographies, one on Jim Scales, written by his son, and another on Eric Walters, written by Wynn Gittens. A section at the back of the report called Lives Remembered features short, anecdotal paragraphs on several residents who are members of longstanding Shuswap families. “We usually end up putting half a dozen in that section,” Ambil says. “This year’s entries include Vi Berger, Ruby Bridge, Don Byers, Grace Dodds, Roy Jewell, Hans Kusisto and Pat Shirley.” Each year, the soci-

Hairy rendition of old fairy tale By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Vancouver playwright Peter Zednick describes Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale as “a fun retelling that introduces a twist to the hirsute tale in a fast-action pantomime with all the usual panto suspects and more.” The playwright, a friend of Shuswap Theatre member Ellen Gonella, gave director Julia Body permission to bring his new twist on an old fairy tale to Salmon Arm audiences. A distinctively different rendition, Rapunzel is locked in her tower by the wicked witch Vileda Scrunge and, after many adventures, Prince Pompadour, assisted by hairdresser Dame Wanda Wave, is able to rescue and marry her. “It’s very silly,” begins Body. “The town is called Haute Couture and the king and queen are all about hair.” Meet Queen Beehive, King Bouffant and Prince Pompadour. The prince has turned 21 and it’s time for him to get married. Four possible prospects, a Goth, a cheerleader, a Veronica Lake look-alike and a cell phone girl all have perfect hair.
EVAN BUHLER/OBSERVER
n The cast of Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale rehearse for Shuswap Theatre’s pantomime. But Prince Pompadour doesn’t want to have anything to do with them. They are too superficial for his liking. So the prince dresses up like a hip-hop artist and roams freely about the village. On one of his walking tours, he spies Vileda Scrunge, the village witch, call up to a tower where she is keeping Rapunzel imprisoned. Rapunzel lets her hair down to allow the witch access to the tower. When the witch departs, Prince Pompadour mimics her voice and when Rapunzel again lowers her hair, he climbs up to meet her. “Rapunzel’s a mess; she’s the opposite of the hair girls,” says Body. Other villagers include Peter Piper and his wife Polly, Hob and Gob, two hobgoblins, Wanda Wave a beauti-
cian and TC the town crier. “It’s a cast that stretches from age 10 to 60-plus,” says Body, noting that like all good pantomimes, there will be lots of opportunities for audience participation There will also be a lot of little one-liners, references to local places, and songs that are takeoffs on popular numbers such as Single Ladies by Beyoncé. The Witch sings I Put a Spell On You from Hocus Pocus, and Dame Wanda sings Popular from the Broadway show Wicked. When Rapunzel and Pompadour meet they sing Call Me Maybe. A couple of Christmas songs will be included too. Body says the cast numbers about 19, but the numbers swell when behind-the-scenes volunteers are included.

“I counted the crew up, and when you add front of house and backstage to the cast, it totals 57,” says Body with enthusiasm. “We have a lot of new people involved, which is awesome. We’ve got people in the play we’ve never seen before.” Body cautions that with such a large cast and crew, tickets may sell out earlier than normal. The play runs Friday through Sunday, Dec. 4 to 6 and Dec. 11 to 13

Snow heralds winter show By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
Everyone is as busy as Santa’s elves, preparing for this year’s Caravan Farm Winter Sleigh Ride show. Bedstefader (or how grandfather finally came in out of the cold) is a family story inspired by an old Danish folk tale. Article artistic director Courtenay Dobbie came across a Danish word in a magazine that sounds like hooga but is spelled hygge. “It is a Danish practice and or spirituality they practise in wintertime,” says Dobbie. “It doesn’t have a direct English word, but it’s about well-being and happiness in the long dark, cold of winter.” To practise hygge or have it in their lives, Danish citizens keep their indoor environment very cosy and have many celebrations. “I thought the concept is really beautiful and that a lot of Canadians do that too, just because of where we live,” Dobbie says. “But we don’t have any formal word that describes it or that has the same meaning.” Since seeing miniature horses at the IPE (Interior Provincial Exhibition) in Armstrong

n Caravan Farm Theatre costume designer Catherine Hahn and artistic director Courtenay Dobbie share a laugh as they explore options. in 2010, Dobbie has been looking to incorporate them into one of Caravan’s production. “I was excited by them and their energy and when I thought about the Danish winter show, I realized it would be a nice combination,” she says, noting four miniature horses will be pulling a sleigh. Dobbie took her ideas to Sean Dixon, a Toronto playwright who wrote Caravan’s 2012 summer play, Notorious Right Robert and his Robber Bride. The story that emerged is about two girls, Magdalena and her little sister Ida. They are waiting for their mother to come home for Christmas. “She is a medicine
woman off doing good in the world,” explains Dobbie. “But their father reminds them their mother won’t be able to come home until all the people in the world come in from the cold.” The sisters, meanwhile, come across a homeless man and decide they need to help him so their mother will come home. “He’s mean, he likes his life the way it is and doesn’t want to come in,” Dobbie says. “They find out the homeless man is their grandfather and there is a nice magic reveal. And there is another
one, but it’s a surprise.” The overall themes Dobbie wanted to explore at this time of year are charity – giving to people who have less, and providing comfort, warmth and food to people who may not have that in their lives. Bedstefader (or How Grandfather finally came in out of the cold) is staged outdoors and runs from Dec. 8 to Jan. 3. The shows begins promptly at 4, 6 and 8 p.m. most days.

Authentic Greek Cuisine Pasta, Pizza, Steaks Seafood & more You’ve finally finished drawing up your Christmas gift list and you’re sure it’s going to make all your loved ones happy. You also have to keep working on that endless shopping list for the various holiday gatherings you have to prepare for. But wait; don’t jump into your car just yet. Have you thought about shopping locally? It’s a surefire way to make even more people happy. Not convinced? Here are three good reasons to buy local. 1. PAMPER YOUR TASTE BUDS Nothing beats buying locally if you want to serve your guests the ultimate in delicious food. Locally-sourced food products are fresher, more nutritious and tastier. And they aren’t as likely to be treated with preservatives to make them last longer or stay fresher looking. Vegetables, cheeses, meats, beers and wines are just a few examples of things you can buy locally during the holiday season. They’ll help you make your holiday meals even more delicious than usual. And how about buying local foods as gifts for your favourite foodies? It’s a great idea that will give you the opportunity to make some beautiful and delicious discoveries.
local producers, entrepreneurs and merchants when you do your holiday shopping at the neighbourhood clothing store or at the artisanal butcher shop. You’re strengthening the trust between producers and consumers and bolstering your sense of belonging to your community. What more could you ask for at holiday time, which is an occasion for sharing and love?
3. GIVE MORE ECO-FRIENDLY GIFTS Choosing local products also means reducing the distance between the producer (or the merchant) and the consumer. This, in turn, helps reduce greenhouse Happy holidays! gas emissions and pollution related to the transportation of goods.

2. SUPPORT THE LOCAL ECONOMY Are you fond of your area? When you buy local it helps your community become more dynamic. That’s because when you spend your money close to home, you’re helping the local economy grow and open up more jobs for the people you know. Promoting economic activity in your region also helps improve the quality of life for workers. You’re encouraging
Shopping locally is also more convenient. Why go to the big shopping centre located outside of town when your own neighbourhood is full of all kinds of stores and businesses? You’re more likely to find unique gifts, and you won’t have to go as far if you need to exchange them later on. On top of all that, you’ll save on gas and produce less pollution. The only person who could do it any better is Santa Claus.

Enjoy the festive open houses hosted by fine wineries and local food producers around the Shuswap!
Waterside Vineyard & Winery
We welcome you to come and try our selection of 14 different red and white wines, and enjoy a relaxing winter afternoon. For this holiday season, and accompanying meals, Waterside Winery can provide you with the perfect wine to suit any occasion. Our wide selection of wines assures you that you will not leave without enjoyment, and are able to find the ideal holiday gift. Some of our wines include: 2014 Marachel Foch, a full, rich red. Notes of plums and spices, with an earthy finish. 2014 Cabernet Franc, left on the vines until December. This is a mellow, medium bodied red wine. Complex and concentrated flavour, lingering tastes of dried fruits and herbs. 2014 Gewurztraminer, a sweet white with heightened aromatics and low acidity, notes of passionfruit, honey and rose petals. 2014 Viognier, a full bodied, dry white, with a soft character. Notes of peaches and apricots, and flora aromatics.
ß Marionette Winery
At Marionette, wine is art. All the elements come together in the creation of fine wine and at Marionette we see that as an amazing process that perpetually inspires us as winemakers. We are the first winery built within the city limits of Salmon Arm, just a couple of minutes from downtown. Winemakers, Jamie Smith
and Amanda Eastwood, each have a BSc in Enology and Viticulture and were trained in France by a well known Bordeaux wine researcher. The Marionette property sits on a warm, southfacing slope that is exceptional in both its terroir and its aspect. Jamie and Amanda’s vision as winemakers is to craft beautiful and unique wines that are pure expressions of British Columbia vineyards. They also feel strongly drawn to local arts and culture. The Marionette property itself was once home to a roaming theatre troupe that crafted their own marionettes. They travelled throughout the interior of British Columbia in horse drawn painted caravans, giving free performances of live theatre wherever they went. In our wines we continue that spirit of commitment to beauty, craftsmanship, quality and uniqueness. This December we are releasing for the first time our signature red wine “Pulcinella” which is intended to be our artisanal flagship wine. Come on up to Marionette this Christmas season and celebrate with us the beginning of something beautiful - a wine that will only ever belong here, with us, at Marionette.
ß Larch Hills Winery
Mad Angie (Madeleine Angevine) 2014 is a French varietal grape with a delicate flavour, fruity aroma and very faint earthy hints. Clean, crisp, dry. Try it paired with white fish, pasta, light meat dishes or lightly spiced chicken dishes. Our Ortega wine 2014 is last year’s vintage of our signature German varietal wine and is one of the best ever. Our cool climate growing conditions help produce a crisp, well-balanced wine with intense fruit flavours. Tropical full fruity flavour,

Recline Ridge
Come try the wines from Recline Ridge. We know you will be impressed. Our most popular white wine is the Siegerrebe, known for its extremely fruitforward character, and the great pairing possibilities with your favourite spicy dishes. Marechal Foch is our #1 red wine, with its full-bodied flavour, smoky aroma and finish, and may be paired very well with cheese, any red meat, and much more. For this coming Holiday Season, and all of the wonderful meals that are planned, Recline Ridge can definitely provide the perfect wine accompaniment. What Christmas dinner would be complete without Don’t a m
wine to pair with the roast turkey? Recline’s Shuswap Serenade is a proven favourite. As an alternative, for those who may prefer a red wine with their festive meal, Recline Ridge’s new Hawk’s Haven would be an excellent choice, as would the “Make Me Blush” rose-style wine, especially with that Holiday ham. Come join Graydon and Maureen at Recline Ridge Winery.

Good base at Larch Hills TRAIL TALES Marcia Beckner
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
n Skiers are pleased to see snow accumulating at the Larch Hills ski area. penses to Whitehorse. The team of four that showed up at our place to help with our cleanup worked hard for four hours and we were so happy to have the various jobs done. Perhaps they will consider a spring clean-up gig? The Chalet Expansion Committee presented their ideas to the Larch Hills Nordic Society general meet-
ing in November. The question will go to a vote at the next meeting on Dec. 8, 7 p.m., recreation centre, room #1. All current and prospective members welcome. Check out the Chalet Expansion Report at www.skilarchhills.ca. We look forward to having the soup and coffee gals back on the hill on weekends! Think snow!

Myths & realities:
You wanna roll like a gangster? ▾ MYTH: Gangs have formal organization and structure: Reality: By and large, few youth gangs evolve into adult criminal organizations and most gangs are loosely structured, with transient membership and easily breached codes of loyalty. With many gang members being arrested or murdered, membership is usually in a constant state of flux with internal competition for leadership roles.

Ski season in the Larch Hills has begun! With the recent snowfall, combined with the previous rains, which were snow at higher elevation, we have a good base – good enough for the PB to be taken out on Tuesday to trackset most of the trails. Happy faces in the chalet on Tuesday, having skied much of the system. It was the third time up for Jim and me, working at clipping our adopted trail Ermine Frolic. Last Tuesday, with Larch Hills Road now closed to traffic with a barricade at the chalet, we took to our skis to get to Ermine Frolic. We were treated to a driving hailstorm followed by rain and finally snow. Came back to the car soaking wet but glad to be out on the trail. Winter wonderland now with the snow cover! The Larch Hills Nordics have been gearing up this fall for another busy ski season. The ski and snowshoe trails have been pruned by a dedicated group of guys/gals, the chalet has been made ready for the season, the junior race team has been training all summer/fall for their coming race events – local and away, the committees for the myriad events hosted by the club are in place, the Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet committee has met and looks forward to our 32nd annual loppet, and a successful ski swap was held in October. The Larch Hills Nordics Junior Race Team now numbers 108 skiers and 17 coaches. All are training conscientiously for the various events coming up. Those that qualify age-wise, ie. 14 to 15 year olds, will
be trying out for a spot on the Zone 2 team to compete in the 2016 BC Winter Games to be held at Nickel Plate, Penticton, Feb. 25 to 28. Well, I remember the first BC Winter Games held in Kamloops in February 1979. I was coach for a team of Zone 2 speed skaters at this inaugural event. Our team did well but, more importantly, the BC Winter and Summer Games have continued to give athletes the experience of a multisport event. Some have carried on the Canada Winter Games which for some can lead to the Olympic Games. A small group of guys and gals is gearing up for the Nationals in Whitehorse in March. To this end they did some great fundraising this fall which we were glad to be part of. Teams of athletes, and in some cases their parents, offered their services for yard work, funds raised to go to travel ex-

Here’s 10 good reasons to keep your money local
1. Local Economic Stimulus When you purchase from locally-owned businesses more money is kept in the community because locallyowned businesses often purchase from other local businesses, and trades and service providers. Purchasing local helps grow other businesses as well as the local economy. 2. Local Businesses support your lifestyle Local business owners donate more to local schools, charities and sporting clubs than non-local owners. 3. Most Jobs Are Provided By Local Businesses Small local businesses are the largest employers nationally. 4. Unique Businesses Create Character & Prosperity The unique character of your local community is defined largely by local business and
that plays a big part in the overall satisfaction with where you live and the value of your home and property. 5. Customer Service Is Better Local businesses often hire people with more specific product expertise for better customer service. 6. You can sometimes try before you buy Small business own-
ers are generally on-site and it’s easier to ask a local if you may sample or trial a product. Try asking chain store staff or an online merchant if you can sample the product before deciding to buy! 7. Local Business Owners Invest In Community Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community,
are less likely to leave, and are more committed to the community’s welfare and future. 8. Public Benefits Far Outweigh Public Costs Local businesses require comparatively little infrastructure and more efficiently utilize public services. 9. You Matter More Your values and desires are much more influential to you local
business than the large chain stores. 10. You might get a better deal or some good advice Local businesses use their discretion to reward regular customers with discounts on items you actually want to buy. They can also tell you all about products you want to buy and personally recommend products.

SPOILED FOR CHOICE These days, it’s fairly easy to find environmentally responsible products that are certified organic or fair trade. You can find them in specialized shops, public markets, grocery stores and even big department store chains. Here’s an environmentally-friendly shopping list that’s sure to bring smiles to lots of faces: • Clothing, jewelry and
accessories (recycled, made with eco-friendly fibres that are coloured with natural dyes and goods made in factories that treat their employees with respect) • Eco-responsible beauty products (soaps, body cleansers, perfumes, shampoos, lotions) • Fair trade gourmet products (tea, coffee, spices, chocolate) • Gadgets powered by solar energy (calculators, watches, lamps) • Environmentally friendly toys (handmade, toxinfree or recycled products) • Food from local producers (honey, maple syrup, cheese, pickles, spreads,
etc.) • Alcoholic drinks produced locally (beer, wine, cider, etc.) • Art supplies (paints and recycled paper, certified fairtrade pencils) If possible, eco-friendly gifts should also include dual purpose packaging.
Poorly made toys too often appear under the Christmas tree and end up in the garbage before spring has even arrived. To avoid this kind of wastefulness, focus on toys that have been tested and ap-
proved by consumer associations. TWO TO THREE YEARS OLD For toddlers, opt for toys made of durable, non-toxic materials (blocks, crayons, stacking rings).

Enderby making pitch for new physician By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS
Enderby officials hope to create a relationship with a doctor looking for a place to call home. Coun. Brian Schreiner will represent the city during the Interior Health Authority’s interview of prospective physicians. “Our goal is to hopefully get someone to commit to the community,” said Schreiner. “The IHA (recruitment) program is for three years but we would like to see someone stay longer.” There were two interviews with doctors
Tuesday while there is one today and one next week. “We want a say in the process instead of them just sending us someone,” said Schreiner. Also participating in the interviews is the Splatsin First Nation. In September, a physician under contract with IHA for two years indicated she would end her practice at the end of November. There is currently one other physician in Enderby under contract with IHA as well as a private practice and a First Nations doctor. Schreiner will let the doctors being interviewed know about
Enderby’s recreational and cultural lifestyle, as well as its proximity to Vernon, Salmon Arm and Kelowna. “There’s lots to offer here. We want to match someone to the community,” he said. Council met with IHA representatives Monday to discuss physician recruitment and retention. “They explained that all over the country and the globe it’s difficult,” said Mayor Greg McCune of attracting doctors. “They said there’s always a challenge getting rural doctors. They encouraged us to sell our community.”
The four doctors being interviewed for possible practice in Enderby are from outside of Canada. “They wouldn’t be available to start to work until next September. There’s immigration, a three-month assessment and they have to pick up and move here,” said Dr. Curtis Bell, IHA’s executive medical director of community affairs. Bell is hopeful a new physician will move to Enderby. “This is one of the few opportunities to get their foot in the door and practice in Canada,” he said.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District PROPOSED:
Electoral Area ‘F’ Official Community Plan Amendment (Popular Roost Resort Ltd.) Bylaw No. 830-16 Magna Bay Zoning Amendment (Popular Roost Resort Ltd.) Bylaw No. 800-274 What is Electoral Area ‘F’ Official Community Plan Amendment (Popular Roost Resort Ltd.) Bylaw No. 830-16?
RICK KOCH/MARKET NEWS
Bylaw No. 830-16 proposes to introduce a new OCP designation MH Mixed Housing allowing more diverse housing options into Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 830 and to redesignate the subject property from WR Waterfront Residential to MH Mixed Housing, as shown outlined in bold and hatched on the map below:
n The Chase Heat squared off with the Kamloops Storm Friday, Nov. 20 in Chase. Here the Heat’s Michael Fidanza attempts to steal the puck from the Storm’s Lucas Byl as they skate out from behind the Kamloops’ net. The Heat beat their division rival in a 5-2 victory.
Storm iced by Heat wave By Scott Koch CONTRIBUTOR
Only one on-ice contest to report on from the past weekend. On Friday night, Nov. 20, the KIJHL secondplace overall Kamloops Storm came to play at the Art Holding Memorial Arena. It was National Aboriginal Addictions Awareness Week Night at the arena and a larger-than-normal crowd took in the best homeice tilt this season. The 282 hockey hounds were entertained both on and off the ice on this special occasion, including one lucky fan walking away with $540 from the 50/50! The well-fought battles between the Storm and the Heat are always a great event, due to five seasons of developing a fierce rivalry. Both teams have their fair share of products from Kamloops Minor Hockey and friendships are locked away for 60 minutes as friends take on friends. This game was no different, except both teams are skilled, fast and smart. So on with one man’s synopsis. Chase opened scor-
ing in the first, Zachary Fournier on the power play from Pat Brady and Michael Fidanza. But 21 seconds later Kamloops gets one from Hunter Kero and it’s all notched up at 1-1. In the second, Kolten Moore pops the biscuit in the basket assisted by Nolan Parr and Cole Perison. But – the Storm plunk in the equalizer three-anda-half minutes later, a power play marker by Dario Piva, tying it up at 2-2. So it’s off to the third where Kamloops came storming out, trying to take over the game. The Heat were resilient and waited for an opportunity that arrived just over five minutes in – Brady from Fidan-
za and Braden Hughes. Then a minute and 38 seconds later, team leading scorer Logan Mostat gets Chase two up from Spencer Farstad. The action and intensity increases as one team holds on to the lead while the other throws everything possible at Nic Bruyere in net (30 of 32). The icing on the cake comes with 1:19 left as Zachary Fournier fires in an empty netter to seal the deal. The end result – a huge, 5-2 victory for the Heat who remain eight points back with three games in hand of the divisionleading Storm. Hot Ice Chips: The next two games are versus the Grizzlies from Revelstoke. In a weird quirk in the schedule
they play in Chase on Tuesday, Nov. 24 and Friday, Nov. 27, both games at 7 p.m. They are six points back of the Heat with two games in hand, so both games are huge in the standings. Spencer Farstad, #26, continues his tradition of checking sticks with his face. As a result he has added more stitches to the already impressive total and will soon be in contention for a Guinness World Record! After this weekend’s games the Heat will be at the halfway point in the regular season. It’s that time to buy some tickets to put in someone’s Christmas stocking, or buy some hot products at the merchandise table.

Saws taken from unlocked truck rcmp R E P O RT On the night of Nov. 22, someone entered an unlocked pickup truck on Brooke Drive in Chase, and stole two gasoline-powered cutoff saws (for cutting rebar). One was described as a Husqvarna and the other a Milwaukee. Also taken were five bags of aluminum cans that were sitting in front of the truck. Anyone who has information about this crime is asked to call Chase RCMP at 250-679-3221 or Crimestoppers.
Trailer set fire
On Nov. 20, the owner of a fifth wheel trailer, which was parked on Shuswap Road in Pritchard, called Chase RCMP to report that sometime over the past few nights someone had set his trailer on fire. This matter continues
to be under investigation, and anyone who has information about this arson is asked to call Chase RCMP at 250-679-3221 or Crimestoppers.
Fuel siphoned
On Nov. 19, Chase RCMP received a report of theft of fuel on the Lee Creek forestry road. The complainant stated that sometime during the previous night, someone broke the lock off the fuel tank of a road grader and siphoned-off approximately 300 litres of diesel fuel. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Chase RCMP at 250-679-3221 or Crimestoppers.
Theft from unlocked shop
On Nov. 19, Chase RCMP received report of break, enter and theft from an unlocked shop on Shuswap Avenue. The owner believed the theft occurred on Oct. 17, and the thief made off with
a Husqvarna chain saw, a Homelite chain saw, a Makita cut-off saw, Makita belt sander, a red jerry can of gas and a 20-litre jerry can of mixed fuel. Anyone with information about this break, enter and theft is asked to call Chase RCMP at 250-6793221 or Crimestoppers.
Woman pinned
On Nov. 19, Chase RCMP responded to a motor vehicle incident in front of Haldane Elementary School on Cottonwood Street. A man in a pickup truck parked behind a small white car, and thought he had put the truck in ‘park.’ As he turned to gather his daughter’s belongings, the truck rolled forward, pinning a woman between the two vehicles. The woman suffered minor injuries and was treated at the local treatment centre. The driver of the pickup truck was issued a vio-
beyond the activities of daily living. Not surprisingly, the skiers were in better shape than the non-skiers. The results show that the skiers had approximately twice the cardiovascular and muscular fitness of the untrained group.
One of the big differences between crosscountry skiing and other forms of exercise, like running and cycling, is that your upper body plays a big role. The full body workout provided by cross-country skiing is uniquely effective.

Unlocked car stolen
Sometime during the overnight hours of Nov. 18, a car was stolen from the 500 block of Lakeshore Drive in Chase.

I N P CHATTER at Village Lanes Fun Centre by Calyn Buresh
The Village Lanes Youth Bowlers are “On A Roll!” (Sorry for the pun, I couldn’t resist). What an exciting time for the Youth in Chase. As I mentioned in one of my previous articles, we had sent a group of young men down to Kelowna for a Travel Tournament where they placed first. Well, I’m happy to report that we are 2 for 2 in gold medals for youth tournaments this season! This past Sunday, four players from our Youth Leagues had the privilege of competing in the BC Youth Games down in Kelowna. The team was comprised of a junior boy and girl, as well as a senior boy and girl. Donovan McLellan, Natalie MacDonald, Haylee Nakazawa, and Carson Mickelson bowled their hearts out at the regionals and annihilated the competition bowling 300+ pins over their combined team average to clinch the gold medal for Chase! Every single one of them had something to give to that team! Donovan bowled consistently over his average, Natalie threw a huge last game (including a turkey), Haylee bowled her career high score to date, and Carson was the calming presence on the team, holding them all together! I was fortunate enough to get to coach the winning team, and I’ve said it before and will say it again, our youth bowlers never cease to impress me! They listen, they take criticism, and they are always trying to better their game. Village Lanes has been chosen to host this years very prestigious Youth Bowling Canada Provincials, where teams from across the province will compete to see who earns a spot at the Canadian National Championships. The event takes place in March, and our youth are practicing up to take the title! Signing off as a very proud coach, until next time! Cheers!

By sheer coincidence, a book I wrote called Don’t Panic: Islamic State, Terrorism and Today’s Middle East was published just before the terrorist attacks in Paris. So naturally everybody interviewing me about the book asked me if it is time to panic now. They couldn’t resist. And of course I replied no, it is not time to panic. If a train derailed in the Paris Metro, killing 130 people and injuring more than 300, the story would dominate the news in France for around 24 hours, 48 hours tops. In other countries it would definitely be only a one-day story: just one more transport accident, in a world where trains collide, planes crash and ships sink from time to time. But if it’s not an accident – if human beings deliberately caused those deaths – then the media feeding frenzy starts. The story is 20 times as big, and it can dominate the news schedules for a week. Most people in Europe, North America and the Middle East have watched at least several hours of coverage of the Paris events and their aftermath – as long as a feature film – and even in more distant parts of the world it has been the event of the week. There is nothing puzzling about this phenomenon. It’s perfectly natural for people to be more interested in murder than in mere mechanical malfunctions. But the sheer volume of the coverage makes a terrorist attack feel like a much bigger event than it actually is. Even if you live a very
years of war. The Syrian army was on the brink of collapse last summer before the Russian bombing campaign saved it, and it still lacks the strength to recapture much territory. Islamic State is going to be around for a while. Stopping Western air attacks on Islamic State might save some Western cities from terrorist attacks, but even that is not guaranteed. Islamic State is competing with al-Qaeda for support in the Muslim and especially the Arab world, and spectacular acts of terrorism are good recruiting tools. Islamic State also thinks it is following a divinely ordained script, which makes it relatively impervious to normal calculations of strategic advantage. Does this mean terrorist attacks inspired by Islamic State will continue for months or years no matter what the West does? Probably. Within living memory, Western countries have fought real wars that killed millions of their citizens and they didn’t buckle under the strain. The scale of the threat they face now is so much smaller that it

are mostly locals. You deal with that sort of thing just the way you dealt with other terrorist threats in the past: border controls, enhanced security measures at public events, and good intelligence. If Western air forces want to bomb Islamic State too, by all means do so, but they will be all alone in that job. The Arab states that are allegedly part of President Obama’s “coalition” have all withdrawn their air forces and are bombing Yemen instead. And the Turks are almost exclusively bombing the Kurds (including the Kurds fighting Islamic State), except when they shoot down a Russian plane. The Russian and “coalition” (mostly American) bombs falling on Islamic State have stopped its expansion, at least for the moment, and the recent air attacks on the tanker-trucks that carry the black-market oil out have certainly cut into its income, but it is not about to fall. As for “boots on the ground,” forget it. The only people fighting Islamic State on the ground are the Kurds and what’s left of the Syrian army after four

long way from where the real action is. If you live in Syria, the threat isn’t just terrorism. Islamic State is already a major threat to the many Syrians it hates (Shias, Christians, Druze, and even Sunni Muslims who have worked for the government or fought in the army). If IS gained control of the whole country, the number of Syrian refugees would double or triple. If you live in Iraq, you are much less at risk, for Islamic State has little hope of expanding into the Shiadominated parts of the country still under Baghdad’s control, or into the areas under Kurdish control. If you live in Turkey or other Arab countries – indeed, in any other Muslim country – you may face a serious threat from homegrown extremists, but all they get from IS is encouragement and maybe a bit of training. It’s really a domestic problem. If you live in France or the United States or China, your only worry is the occasional terrorist attack that may have been encouraged by Islamic State – but the people who carry it out

Teen seeks help for medical transportation by the medical system. “When I was in pediatrics before I turned 18, they would help me with everything that I needed,” said Saviskoff. “I called them, I’d say something was really wrong, and my doctor would admit me into hospital, find out what was wrong and help me deal with it. I was able to get my pills for my bipolar and everything. And here I’ve been waiting almost a year to get my medications, everything except my anti-rejections. I’m still trying to bug the doctors about it but they’re like, we can’t do anything, we can’t push it any further.” Saviskoff says she has gotten used to receiving bad news, having been told since age six that her prognosis is grim. Now she’s reaching out to others to get some good news for herself. “I never really ask for much at all, because everybody keeps

An 18-year old Sicamous resident has turned to an Internet fundraising website to find the means of support to get to medical appointments in the Lower Mainland. Kourtney Saviskoff’s GoFundMe page is titled Please help raise money for a car. Not a new car, just something that won’t need a lot of maintenance. Saviskoff says she set up the page because she didn’t know of any other organizations or websites that provide financial support for people like herself living with Byler’s disease. She says she was diagnosed with Byler’s at seven months. The disease, referred to by medical professionals as progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, is described as progressive, leading to liver failure and death in childhood without a liver transplant.

iskoff said she had two liver transplants at age 9. Ongoing blood work and treatment, as well as visits with specialists in Vancouver, are now a regular part of Saviskoff’s life, as is relying on others for transportation – be it for medical appointments or trips to the grocery store – as neither she nor her partner has a vehicle and she, for medical reasons, is unable to drive. “I haven’t heard of anything going on about donating for my type of disease or trying to help,” said Saviskoff. “I’ve heard for cancer and stuff, but that’s about it, and then I saw the (GoFundMe) page and thought maybe I’ll give this a try and see what happens.” Saviskoff says her illness leaves her mentally and physically drained, jaundiced and struggling to maintain a healthy weight. She notes how since turning 18, there has been a dramatic difference to the way she is treated

Tips needed in Dale Lake culvert tampering By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS
The search is on for those individuals who may have triggered a massive slide and flood. Ministry of Forests natural resource officers are seeking the public’s help to find those responsible for
tampering with culverts at Dale Lake, which led to a debris flood down Cooke Creek, east of Enderby, in May 2014. “We’re just thankful there were no injuries or loss of life,” said Patrick Tobin, compliance and enforcement branch manager. The debris washed
down the creek roared into the Shuswap River and caused extensive damage to the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre. Mabel Lake Road was also wiped out, cutting off access to the Kingfisher community for a few days. Natural resource officers would like to speak to anyone who

Frederick (Fred) Waldie at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC on November 14 at the age of 84, following post surgical complications.

Anne attended Agricultural College in Alberta and began her working career at Lodges in BC and Alberta. For many years she worked as a travel agent for BCAA – this experience fed her travel bug!

After retirement Anne moved back to Notch Hill to assist her mother and father in their last years. She loved to cook on the old wood stove in the kitchen. Another favorite of Anne’s was to pick huckleberries in Scotch Creek which came up in many conversations. Anne’s “kids” were her many nieces and nephews. She loved them dearly and was always interested and involved in their lives. Anne also treasured her many friends, some as far away as Australia, and always kept in touch. Her life at McIntosh Grove was active and loved. Her waffles and soup brunches were legend. When she moved to Piccadilly Terrace she enjoyed more friendships and stayed involved with programs in the community. Anne liked games, especially card games and won many crib tournaments. Anne was predeceased by her parents, her oldest brother Joe Hlina, second oldest brother Martin Hlina and youngest brother Frank Hlina. She is survived by her sister Sophie Aalto of Kamloops, brothers Bill and Wally Hlina of Vernon, cousins in Slovakia and many nieces and nephews, their families and her treasured friends. The family thanks the wonderful staff of Hillside Village for their thoughtful loving care of Anne. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd. (250) 833-1129.

RICHARDSON, CLAYTON HARVEY December 2, 1925 - Three Hills, AlbertaNovember 16, 2015 - Calgary, Alberta Clayton ‘Clay’ Richardson of Calgary, passed away on November 16, 2015 at the age of 89 years. Clay was born in Twining, Alberta, the second of two children born to Elizabeth and William Richardson. He and his older sister Doris attended school in Three Hills, Alberta. Following graduation, Clay quickly enlisted in the Canadian Navy in 1943. Clay was discharged at the end of WWII and began his studies in Pharmacy at the University of Alberta in 1948. He began his career in pharmacy at Horsley Drugs in Red Deer in 1952 and later moved to Waterbury Drugs in Three Hills. Clay married Jean (Christie) in June 1953. He had an opportunity in 1956 to pioneer his own drugstore in Hinton, AB as a new pulp mill was under construction. He and Jean owned and managed King Value Drug Mart until 1989. Clay was very active in the Hinton community as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, President of the Progressive Conservative Association as well as President of the Optimist club. Clay was often seen helping with projects that improved the Town of Hinton and assisted with the hand digging of the first outdoor swimming pool, helping to build the clubhouse at the golf course, helping with the minor hockey program and helping to build the first curling rink in Hinton. Clay and Jean retired to Salmon Arm, BC in 1989 and enjoyed many years spending summers at Mara Lake BC and winters in Mesa, AZ. Clay and Jean were actively involved with the Rotary Club of Salmon Arm and were awarded the distinguished Paul Harris Award. In 2000 Clay and Jean moved to Calgary to be closer to family. Clay also became involved with the Rotary Club of Calgary and remained active until 2014. He enjoyed a very special closeness and camaraderie with his brother-in-law, Tom Christie following Jean’s death in 2002. Clay leaves behind many good friends at Sienna Park Green. Clayton was very proud of his rural farming upbringing and achieved success by working hard, serving people and looking for ways to make his community a better place. He was a strong role model and provider for his family. We will always miss our Dad and Poppa dearly but will remember him with a smile, a wink and a happy heart. Clay is survived by his daughter Elizabeth (BettyJean) (Randy) Sachro of Okotoks, AB, and his sons James (Vivianne) Richardson of Scotch Creek, BC and Kenneth (Janice) Richardson of Calgary, AB. Poppa was also very proud of his grandchildren Derrick Franche, Christie (Christopher) Smith, Chelsea (Derek Kovalskie) Franche, Benjamin Sachro, Jennifer (Luke) Flowers, Clayton (Katelyn Grimbly) Richardson, Blair Richardson and Colin Richardson. Great Poppa is also survived by his great-grand children, Avery and Oliver Smith and Isla Kovalskie. Clay is also survived by his second family Tom (Phyllis) Christie, Jim (Doris) Christie and Jack (Lynn) Christie as well as many nephews and nieces. Clayton was predeceased by his beloved wife Jean in 2002, grandson Adam Sachro, parents William and Elizabeth Richardson, his sister Doris Parker, his brothers-in-law Robert and Charlie Christie, Walter Parker and his sistersin-law Margaret, Clarice and Nancy Christie, and son-in-law Dale Franche. A Celebration of Clayton’s Life was held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY (Fish Creek, 14441 Bannister Road S.E.) on Monday, November 23, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. Clayton will be interred and rejoin his love, Jean in Three Hills, AB at a later date. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. If friends so desire, memorial donations be made to the Providence Children’s Centre, 5232 4th Street SW, Calgary, AB.

Our family would like to thank the staff at the Scenic Acres Retirement Living Center as well as the medical and nursing staff at Foothills Medical Centre and the staff at the Chinook Hospice who made Dad’s final journey so comfortable and peaceful.

DUNCAN, IAN WINDLEY Ian Windley Duncan passed away peacefully at home on November 13, 2015, at the age of 86. He is survived by his wife, Maureen Stickney; children, Maggie (Todd), Mary (Hans), Bill (Olga) and Tom (Janet); stepsons, Greg (Sudabeh) and Gerald (Kerri); 15 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren; as well as numerous cousins across North America, Scotland and Australia. Ian is predeceased by his son, John (2011); his great grandson, Josias (2008); and his former wife, Eva Robertson (1996). Before moving to the Shuswap in 1992, Ian enjoyed an influential career as a civil engineer. Employed by the University of Calgary in 1964, he retired in 1989 as Director of the Physical Plant. The major building projects leading up to the 1988 Winter Olympics were a highlight for him, especially the unique design and building challenges presented with building the Olympic Oval. Upon retirement, he was recognized with the title “Director Emeritus,” and in 1994, he was further honored with the prestigious “Order of the University of Calgary.” An intelligent, patient and steadfast man, Ian was a consistent and reassuring presence in the lives of his children as they were growing up and beyond. His efforts to connect with the family’s roots in Scotland, North America and Australia have left a lasting legacy for the younger generations of Duncans. Maureen and Ian enjoyed travels to various destinations near and far, often drawn by family: Scotland, England, Ireland, Australia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ottawa, the east coast of Canada, many parts of BC and around Salmon Arm. His Salmon Arm community will remember Ian as a devoted husband and an avid supporter of local businesses and institutions, including the Shuswap Film Society, the Shuswap Art Gallery Association and the Shuswap Community Foundation. They may also know him as someone who fixed a problem door, changed a light fixture, performed wizardry with mortar and trowel, or as the guy with just the right tool or right-sized bolt for the job at hand. A Celebration of Ian’s Life will be held in Salmon Arm in the early evening of December 28, 2015. For more details, please contact ianduncan. remembered@gmail.com or Genean at 1-250-8334052. If you are unable to attend, we invite you write a tribute and forward it to the same email address or by mail to Ian Duncan Tribute, 47 Krick Road, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 3C6. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ian’s memory to your choice of the three organizations listed above.

Respecting the gift of family and food Living WEll Do we really need one more article about eating well over the holidays? Yes! Especially one that points out that healthy eating isn’t necessarily the same thing as nutritious eating. Healthy eating goes beyond preventing heart disease, getting enough of a vitamin, or having a healthy weight. Food plays an honoured role as a centerpiece at holiday time. This is when friends and family gather, share stories, and strengthen or renew bonds. We feast – not just on food, but on each other’s company and energy. So this is no time for a ‘diet’ mentality. And yet it’s also
not the time to take life and health lightly, but to respect the gifts we have. How can we eat respectfully, while celebrating and enjoying? Provide lots of healthy options. I’m a monkey-see-monkeyeat kind of person. If I see healthy stuff, I’ll eat it. I’ve found this to be true of young and old alike. A platter or two of colourful veggies with dip gives everyone something other than treats to keep their hands and mouth occupied. Carbonated water is a wonderful replacement for some of the pop and juices typically used as a mixer for drinks and punch. Mix salted nuts half and half with unsalted nuts. Keep a bowl
filled with mandarin oranges. I could make a longer list, but you get the idea. Manage the abundance of treats. Once again, the monkey-see-monkeyeat habit comes into play! Have smaller plates of treats out at certain times of the day and put them out of sight the rest of the time. Since I like to have one piece of everything, instead of putting all of the treat choices on the plate, try putting just two or three out at one time and switching them up at another time. Tiny servings let us try a variety of treats without overindulging – over the years I find I am cutting my Nanaimo bars into one inch squares and making smaller cookies. Eat mindfully. We can get so enthralled by the fun our taste buds are having

If you are interested in making some CASH, please call Valerie at the
that we forget to enjoy the evening and the people. If we ignore how our body feels and overstuff ourselves, we can end up regretting it later. I remind myself (and my dad) that leftovers are just as delicious. Get moving. Try getting involved in cleaning up. Moving around is much better than sitting around after a big meal. It helps with blood sugar and triglyceride levels after a big meal and it
gives me a chance to make some plates of leftovers-to-go for the guests. If you think about it, those of us that struggle with overindulgence at holiday time are so lucky. Enjoy the feast of family, friends, fun and food this holiday season. What a gift to have! -The author, Cathy Richards, is a public health dietitian with Interior Health.

Coupon program seeks sponsors By Tracy Hughes
MARKET NEWS STAFF
This Christmas season, thanks to private donations, some needy people will be able to shop for fresh, local food at the Shuswap Farm and Craft Market. The program is an off-shoot of a partnership between the market and the Shuswap Family Resource Centre that ran from June to October. As part of that program, coupons were distributed to low-income seniors and families in Salmon Arm enabling them to purchase local fruit, vegetables and meat at the Farmer’s Market. “We have seen how these coupons have made a significant difference for families and seniors,” says Susan Washington, with the Shuswap Farm and Craft Market, who notes there was a wait list for the program. In summer the program, which has had its funding continued for next year, offers 45 participants a total of $15 per week in coupons. Seeing the need, limited private funding was found to support the coupon program to
continue in the winter for five participants. In addition to the purchase of the food, participants work with the resource centre to learn about nutrition, cooking and preserving their purchases to get the best use out of the products. “This program not only benefits the people, who are getting access to fresh, local, healthy food, but it also benefits the local farmers by supporting their operations,” says Washington. “It’s a real circle that has benefits for the whole community.” The group is now hoping to expand their funding so they can help more families, seniors and other individuals. “If we get donations, we could help more people in winter and in summer,” says Washington. To support the program, or for more information, contact Ebony Vardal at the Shuswap Family Resource and Referral Society at 250-832-2170 ex. 209, or ebony_vardal@familyresource.bc.ca.
