Two more snowmobilers rescued By Barb Brouwer
market news staff
For the second time in a week, volunteer members of Shuswap Search and Rescue (SAR) were out in the cold all night instead of in their beds. SAR search manager John Schut says the report of two missing sledders in the Sicamous backcountry near Owl Head was received at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 26. Fourteen SAR members were assisted by several members of the Eagle Valley Snowmobile Club.
Schut offered effusive praise to Gord Bushell, executive director of the snowmobile club. “He was a really helpful guy, he got everything running with the club and found a pathway down to the guys,” said Schut, noting SAR member Gordon Bose and Eagle Valley Snowmobile Club avalanche safety co-ordinator Wes Gano got within half a kilometre on their snowmobiles and hiked down on snowshoes to get the men out of the steep and heavily treed terrain beyond Blue Lake.
The men were found at approximately 3 a.m. and arrived back at the club’s parking lot with their rescuers at 6 a.m., where the sledders were checked out by BC Ambulance paramedics. “They were just trying to find other avenues to get out and get another run at the hill,” said Schut of the men he estimates to be in their mid-20s. “Every time they tried, they got in deeper, so eventually they gave up and tried to walk out.” The sledders indicated they were heading back to Revelstoke, but
their machines will remain where they are until their owners make arrangements to retrieve them. Schut again reminds sledders that they are travelling in the often-inaccessible and difficult backcountry. He says luckily these young men were equipped with an “inreach” device that provided a GPS location and allowed text communications. “When you think of the effort that was made by the guys that went down there, it was a tremendous effort and they worked all night long,” said a tired but relieved Schut.

Council approves carwash
Permit: Zoning, official community plan supports use. By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAFF
City council didn’t yield to concerns about traffic when approving a development permit for a new car wash at the top of Tank Hill. The permit, approved unanimously by council, allows for the construction of an automated car wash with three self-serve bays, three vacuum bays and a mechanical/ office building at 2801 10th Ave. NE – at the back of the commercial complex where the Shell gas station and Mac’s convenience store are located. The use is supported by the city’s official community plan and the property’s C3 service commercial zoning. Council’s approval followed a public hearing, during which Birte Decloux of Urban Options and Planning Permits addressed concerns raised by councillors and the residents of a neighbouring residential strata. To one of those concerns, noise, Decloux emphasized the materials and technology used would limit
the noise reaching the closest residence to about 20 decibels – equivalent to the sound of a watch ticking. The strata also pointed out the site of the proposed wash currently serves as “unofficial overflow parking for Setters Pub and Budget Car Rental, suggesting the pub’s patrons, with the development, would “struggle to find parking in the dedicated lot beside the pub.” Decloux said the developer is providing 19 more parking stalls than what is required by the city, and can easily accommodate the 10 stalls Setters uses. The strata also raised concerns regarding traffic. Speaking to that in greater detail, however, was David Askew, who noted with the development of Uptown Askew’s, the city encouraged him to make a $25,000 contribution to fund a study of the intersection at 11th Avenue NE and 30th Street NE. Askew complimented the developer and the proposal, but said he was concerned with the impact it would have on the Uptown
Askew’s property and its future development. “There’s now a covenant on our property that says before we do any further development, we’ll have to do another traffic study, and I’m quite sure the applicant wishes to attract traffic to the area,” said Askew. “And that traffic will add congestion to the area and when I come to try and get my covenant removed, I’ll be responsible for any increase in congestion that has occurred by other developments that have taken place.” City engineering and public works director Rob Niewenhiuzen confirmed the traffic study was completed in 2014 and calls for improvements at the 11th and 30th intersection. Director of development service, Kevin Pearson, noted the concerns had no bearing on the development permit application. Following the hearing, Coun. Louise Wallace Richmond asked the developer to be mindful of the pedestrians from the local high school, while Coun. Alan Harrison
encouraged continuing the parking agreement with Setters.

Ross Street Plaza hosts market By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Downtown Salmon Arm and the Shuswap Farm and Craft Market are partnering to bring a new shopping option to the Ross Street plaza in the summer. Salmon Arm Downtown Improvement Association manager Lindsay Wong says the downtown market would run from 4 to 7 p.m. every Wednesday from June 29 to Sept. 7. There is space for 11 vendors, not including the mobile food location leased by the city. “All vendors will be required to be a member of the Shuswap Farm and Craft Market so as to be covered under their insurance policy,” stated Wong in a letter to the city. “It is a requirement that all vendors have their mandatory Interior Health permits and other required business permits.” In addition to local growers, farm-
ers and artisans, entertainment will also be a staple at the downtown market. “Not only can our visitors buy fresh, local products and support local crafters, but there will be educational components to the entertainment,” said Wong. “The Métis dancers (and the) Turtle Donkey Refuge are just two of the presentations we hope to showcase.” Wong noted the entertainment wouldn’t be on at the same time as the music in Marine Park for Wednesdays on the Wharf (WOW). City council was pleased to provide a letter of support for the event. The Shuswap Farm and Craft Market’s regular outdoor market opens for business again on Friday, April 29 and will run from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Tuesdays and Fridays behind Centenoka Park Mall in the Rainbow Glass parking lot. It runs until Oct. 7.

Premier’s jobs promise broken The Site C Dam project seems to moving forward with the recent awarding of a $1.5-billion contract to main contractor – Peace River Hydro Partners – to build the dam and river diversion on the Peace River. Construction of this megaproject was one of the key platforms Premier Christy Clark dangled when she was travelling through the province during the 2013 provincial election campaign. Her mantra during the campaign was “Jobs, jobs, jobs” and “Jobs for British Columbians first.” Building the new dam on the Peace River and the development of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export industry was going to bring debt retirement and a huge surplus fund that would secure the prosperity for generations to come. This vision of job creation and hope for a better life turned the tide for Clark and the B.C. Liberal Party. A concern with both projects was the shortage of skilled labour, and the need to start training B.C. youth so they could take these jobs first when the time came. And, with slumping oil, natural gas and mineral prices, there are now plenty of trained workers sitting idle and waiting. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett has said it’s a perfect time for BC Hydro to be entering into its major contracts on Site C Dam. However, there is a snag. The BC Federation of Labour stated Clark has reneged on her B.C. First promise for the estimated 1,500 jobs at the peak of the construction phase. The B.C. NDP noted the premier failed to guarantee British Columbians would be first in line for jobs. Last year, the B.C. Liberals cut a deal with Petronas to build an LNG facility in B.C. and again there was no job guarantees for British Columbians. There is something wrong when megaprojects are being built in this province, but the “B.C. jobs first” promise is not being fulfilled. Well, 2017 is not that far off. –100 Mile House Free Press

OPINION
Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.
Alien invasions and human intervention Have you noticed how many television shows there are about aliens these days. Not withstanding the never-ending reruns of Star Trek and the new, much anticipated X Files, there just seems to be a heck of a lot of shows about extra-terrestrial alien species travelling to earth and settling in small towns not at all unlike Salmon Arm. Which has got me thinking about the whole alien species thing on a number of levels. Long before human travel became widespread, plant and animal species arrived on foreign shores – more often than not by chance. Some swam across oceans, while others migrated across continents, drifting on air and water currents. Still others hitchhiked with fellow travellers until they hopped off in a new habitat. The point is, wildlife species have been dispersed and re-dispersed throughout the world for millions of years. Plant and animal species that arrive and establish themselves in an ecosystem where they did not evolve are often described as “alien” or “exotic.” Once established beyond the initial point of introduction, they are then considered “naturalized” components of their
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray new environment. A naturalized species is considered “invasive” when and if it displaces native species. When wildlife biologists and other experts use words like ‘alien,’ ‘exotic’ and ‘invasive’ to describe plant and animal species that have been introduced into a new environment, it can be a bit confusing, if not a question of semantics. The plots of most television shows about aliens are less complex. In real life, invasive species tend to reproduce quickly, spread rapidly and compete aggressively with indigenous species. This occurs, in large part, because there are usually few species that can or will predate on the successful new arrivals. These so-called alien/ invasive species did not sit down and plot any sort of intentional invasion of their
new home and surroundings. They simply one day found themselves there and, subsequently, proceeded to go about the business of surviving and reproducing. It’s people that make things complicated, which also brings me to my point. While pondering the whole alien species thing, I was reminded of a recent incident where a particular group of humans, whose ancestors incidentally once crossed an ocean and migrated across a continent to displace and settle in areas already occupied by indigenous groups of humans. They eventually found themselves in conflict with an animal species that had migrated into their territory and subsequently called upon a specific group of individuals to intervene (ie. their political representatives). You may recall the situation. The B.C. government was being pressured into the culling of a number of wolves in the Cariboo and Chilcotin regions. The situation came about as a result of ranchers (humans) allowing their cattle (a domesticated species of bovine raised to generate monetary profit for humans) to range further and fur-
ther into timbered areas the wolves called home. While the question may very well have been just who was the invasive species, the reality was that in the end, things didn’t really go all that well for the wolves. Things rarely do when human intervention is involved. The human species has been, and continues to be, responsible for the extinction of countless plant and animal species on our planet. Why? Well, for one thing, humans see themselves as being at the top of the food chain. More likely, it’s simply because they are, in large part, driven by materialism and consumerism. Survival at all costs, at the expense of every thing else, so to speak. Which I guess brings me back to all those television shows with extraterrestrial alien invasive species intervening in life as we know it here on planet Earth. Just how would we (humans) perceive things if we were suddenly no longer at the top of the Earth’s socioeconomic food chain. One can only speculate what the dinosaurs thought about everything. Maybe we should simply look after our planet a bit better and not worry so much about invasive species – alien or otherwise.

Remembering 2015 MAYOR’S MESSAGE Nancy Cooper Thank you to all those who are sponsoring 10 Syrian refugee families to come to Salmon Arm. Let’s give these newcomers a warm welcome when they arrive. One of the first things we see early in any new year is our property assessments. A significant rise in many BC Property Assessments has some residents worried. If you are concerned, you can appeal your property assessment. To begin the appeal
process, phone the local assessment office at 1-866-825-8322. Check my blog on the city website for further information. A few things of note in 2015 – the city building department was busy with many single / multi-family homes being built and the completion of large projects such as the CSRD and SD83 offices and Andover Terrace Retirement Resort. I was proud to be in Kamloops with Jason Chernoff, supervisor of parks and recreation, to receive the Communities in Bloom, 5 Bloom Award. We all know how beautiful Salmon Arm is and what a great job our public works crew does, and it was nice to be recognized. Last June, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure held
an open house at the Prestige Inn seeking public input on planned TCH upgrades and a new Salmon River Bridge. Several MOTI senior staff were onhand and everyone who attended had the opportunity to see, discuss and provide valuable input on the proposed highway widening, frontage roads and bridge plans. A few things to look for in 2016 include more single-family homes, new subdivisions, opening of the new cemetery, completion of Blackburn Park upgrades, and the opening of new retail outlets such as Winners and Dollarama. In closing, on behalf of council and myself I want to say “Salmon Arm is an amazing community” and it is indeed a privilege to serve you.
Groups get gaming grants Three social service organizations in Salmon Arm and one each in Armstrong, Sicamous and Scotch Creek have received a combined $100,550 in community gaming grants from the B.C. government. The organizations are: • Fletcher Park Seniors Resource Centre Society (Salmon Arm) – $29,000; • Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks #445 (Salmon
Arm) – $12,000; • Salmon Arm Royal Purple Lodge #279 – $10,000; • North Okanagan Therapeutic Riding Association (Armstrong) – $20,000; • Sicamous Preschool Society – $6,550; • North Shuswap Lions Club (Scotch Creek) – $23,000’ “I’m pleased that our community gaming grants will make it easier for these great
organizations to continue their important work,” Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said. “These societies provide essential services that many of our citizens depend on.” The grants are awarded under the Human and Social Services category of the community gaming grant program, which allows non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES Paul Demenok At the Columbia Shuswap Regional District December 2015 board meeting, approval was given to fund the development of a new Parks Master Plan for Area C from gas tax funds. A draft request for a proposal has been prepared for review by members of the Area C Parks Commission, who will be intimately involved in this planning process through 2016. The current parks plan for Area C was prepared back in 2003, and needs to be updated as most of the key objectives within that plan have been achieved. The new Parks Master Plan is intended to provide the vision, implementation and strategic direction for the delivery of parks and recreation services

over the next 20 years. It will establish policies regarding park use, facilities, services and property acquisition and disposal. The completed plan will provide a prioritized list of options for the next 20 years, along with a five-year implementation plan and plan review process. There are many reasons to invest in parks for Area C residents. Strong evidence shows that when parks are readily available people exercise more. Regular physical activity improves physical and psychological health and reduces risks of many chronic diseases. Numerous studies have shown that parks and open spaces increase the value of nearby residential and commer-

cial properties. Green spaces provide wellknown environmental benefits, and access to public parks and recreational facilities has been shown to reduce crime and juvenile delinquency. The presence of well-developed park land also contributes to the building of communities from physical, social and economic perspectives. In establishing the amount of parkland needed to serve a community, it’s appropriate to look at neighbouring areas to help develop new standards. See the box above for a preliminary analysis of developed park land in our region: This analysis suggests that Blind Bay may be particularly
under-serviced with developed park land. The planning process for the new Parks Master Plan will include a substantial amount of community consultation later this year. I would strongly encourage all residents of Area C to really get involved in the process and to let us know your opinions and wishes regarding further development of parks and recreation services within Area C. -Paul Demenok is the Area C Director for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
Understanding the facts of shingles (NC) Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection of the nerves that is painful and can have severe complications. People who suffer from it have described their pain in many ways, such as burns, throbs, shoots and stabs. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, shingles is a disease caused by the varicellazoster virus - the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you have chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in your body in nerve cells and as you get older it can reappear as shingles. Although it is most common in people over age 50, anyone who has had chickenpox is at risk. Shingles is a painful, blistering rash that can last several weeks. Although it usually occurs in one part of the body, such as the torso, shingles can also affect the face and eyes. For Cathy Dillon of Toronto, 61, the first occurrence of shingles was discovered by her hair stylist when a cluster of red dots on her scalp became apparent during a trip to the salon. Her rash gradually spread along the side of her head and face dangerously close to her eye. “I had to go to a specialist to make sure the shingles weren’t going into my eye,”
she explained as cases of shingles affecting the eyes may lead to a loss of vision. Not only was the rash spreading it was becoming more and more painful. “I had excruciating pain,
it felt like my face was on fire,” described Dillon. It is estimated that nearly 1 in 3 people will experience shingles in their lifetime. For most people, the pain from shingles resolves as the rash heals, but for others it can cause long-lasting nerve pain. This potentially severe nerve pain (called postherpetic neuralgia or PHN) can last for months or years after the rash heals.
In several cases, this ongoing nerve pain can cause complications that may affect normal, daily activities such as walking, sleeping, and socializing. The pain can be debilitating and lead to a loss of independence, anxiety and even depression. Here are some common shingles symptoms: 1. Pain, itching, or tingling in an area on the sides of your body or face. 2. A rash breaks out on the same area a few days later. 3. The painful rash spreads in a single stripe around one side of the body or one side of the face. The rash then forms blisters that typically scab over in 7 to 10 days and clears up within 2 to 4 weeks. 4. Symptoms can also include, fever, headache, chills and upset stomach. 5. Nerve pain where a breeze or the touch of clothing can cause severe pain. For more information about shingles speak to your doctor or pharmacist. This information is provided by Merck. www.newscanada.com
Core exercises with an added bonus (NC) Doing crunches and planks will work your core – not exactly an earth shattering statement. What many people don’t realize is that there are other exercises that work your core muscles and may even be more effective at working your abs. With a strong stable core, your everyday movements are made a lot easier. Kim Lavender, national director of Team Training for GoodLife Fitness has been helping people achieve their fitness goals for over 25 years. “Having a strong core is more than just flattening your tummy or getting a six-pack. It protects your organs, diminishes back pain and enhances your posture,” says Lavender. “A strong core helps you with everyday movements; whether it’s bending down to put on your shoes or picking up groceries.” Here she explains three of her favourite exercises for working multiple muscle groups including the core:
Single Leg Deadlifts The deadlift is when you lift a weighted barbell off the ground to your hips, using hamstrings, gluteus, abs and back, and then lower back
to the ground. Deadlifts are great for your core, but when you integrate balance, by being on one leg, your body works harder to keep balance and alignment with your spine. The
Bonus: This helps strengthen your abs, butt, hamstrings, and lower back. Rowing Machine Rowing is a full body workout that engages your thighs abdominals and shoulders. The bonus: Many people assume the focus is upper body but the breakdown is 60 per cent thighs and butt, 20 per cent core, and 20 per cent upper body. Mountain Climbers Assume a pushup position with your arms straight and your body in a straight line from your head to your ankles. Bring your right knee to your chest and place your foot back on the ground behind you. Quickly switch to the other leg and repeat. The bonus: Mountain climbers work deltoids, biceps, triceps, pectorals, obliques, abdominals and hamstrings. They also challenge your balance, agility and coordination all while engaging your core. www.newscanada.com

Trump vs Sanders – vs Bloomberg? GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer The outcome of the US presidential primaries was supposed to be Hillary Clinton, the wife of an ex-president, vs. Jeb Bush, the son and brother of other expresidents: both worthy but somewhat boring candidates, and both definitely members of the “establishment.” Less than a week before the first primary, the Iowa caucuses, Bush is dead in the water and even Clinton is looking vulnerable. In Bush’s place as the Republican front-runner is Donald Trump, billionaire property developer, TV reality star and demagogue, who told a campaign rally last Saturday, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” His arrogance is not misplaced: to the despair of the Republican Party’s hierarchy, he probably has the party’s presidential nomination locked up. Three months ago, Democrats thought this would virtually guarantee Hillary Clinton’s election, as a majority of Americans would refuse to vote for such a crude clown. That was probably correct, but it’s irrelevant if Clinton doesn’t get the Democratic nomination. Omi-
nously, her “socialist” rival, Bernie Sanders, is neck-and-neck with her in Iowa and clearly ahead in the next primary, in New Hampshire. Sanders is not really a socialist – 50 years ago he would have been an unremarkable figure on the left wing of the Democratic Party – but in any case “socialist” is no longer a curse-word in the United States. When pollster Frank Luntz asked, “Would you be willing to vote for a socialist?” last June, nearly 60 per cent of the Democrats surveyed said yes – and an astonishing 29 per cent of the Republicans. Both the major parties are facing a mutiny among their traditional supporters this year. A presidential race between Donald Trump and Bernie Saunders (the Tea Party vs. Occupy Wall Street) is entirely possible. But both Trump and Saunders are too radical for at least a third of American voters. That would leave the middle ground of American politics unoccupied. Enter Michael Bloomberg, another billionaire, who started out as a Democrat, became a Republican to run for mayor of New York City in 2001, and now calls himself an independent. He won’t run if Hillary Clinton still seems likely to win the Democratic nomination – but if Sanders is pulling ahead, he probably will. In a three-way race featuring Trump, Sanders and himself, Bloomberg would be the one “moderate” candidate, and he might even win. The probability that all
this will come to pass is still well below 50-50, but the fact that it exists at all shows just how far American politics has departed from the usual track. Why? The rise of Trump is mainly due to the fact that gerrymandering has turned 90 per cent of the seats in the House of Representatives into safe seats for one party or the other: Win the nomination, and the seat is guaranteed. So would-be Republican candidates have to appeal to the party’s strongest supporters, white working-class people without a college education, not to voters in general. A lot of these Republican stalwarts are very, very angry. Their incomes are stagnant or falling, and as demography change gradually turns the United States into a country where the minorities are a majority, they feel that they are being marginalized and forgotten. They
want their candidate to be angry too, and Donald Trump intuitively understands this and plays to it. Paradoxically, Sanders appeals to some of the same people, because he also represents a radical break with business as usual. Anecdotal evidence suggests that for many people whose first choice is Trump, their second choice is Sanders. But most of Sanders’s support comes from people who are not so much angry as despairing. In the new documentary Dream On, comedian John Fugelsang sums up what has driven them farther left than they ever imagined they would go. “America has become a reality show,” he said. “Food, medicine, rent: pick two.” Median U.S. household income in constant dollars is still $4,000 a year lower than it was in 2000, and the ‘American Dream’ is dying if not dead.
So it’s a horse race that anybody could win, unless Hillary Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, in which case she would be the odds-on favourite to win. But if she does win, of course, nothing will really change, including an unreformed financial system that is setting us all up for a rerun of the 2008 crash.

Unplug and cook: Developing kitchen confidence in children
HEALTHY BITES Serena Caner There are few activities I enjoy more than cooking: transforming the simple into the delicious. Unfortunately, there are two minor setbacks to attaining my bliss every single night: 1) my children do not like to eat anything interesting 2) this seems to be the most chaotic
time of day – everyone is hungry, wound up and tired. So I have two options: I can turn on a show and throw together a quick, boring meal (the easy, peaceful choice) or I can engage them in the process of making dinner. In the spirit of “Unplug and Play” week, I am challenging myself to choose the latter. Cooking with your kids has many benefits: it provides time for connection, improves the odds that they will try new, nutritious foods and teaches them invaluable life skills. This noble goal has only one problem: initially, cooking with
kids is messy, inefficient and sometimes stressful. But like most skills in life, time invested today provides benefit later. As your kids gain proficiency in the kitchen, they become more helpful until finally they are making up their own recipes! Like any skill, cooking requires practice before it becomes easy or enjoyable. So how can we engage our children in the kitchen? • Take a deep breath. This is supposed to be fun: let go of your perfectionist or micromanager tendencies. Allow your kids to explore, learn from their
Help with computer proficiency Can you spare one hour a week, for six to eight weeks, to help a local senior learn basic computer skills? No need to be a computer expert, just a computer user. The Literacy Alliance of the Shus-
wap Society (LASS) wants to help seniors in Salmon Arm and area gain the computer skills needed to connect with their families and to participate safely in the computerliterate world of 2016. The Cyber Seniors
Program runs in Salmon Arm and Blind Bay. Contact Darcy Calkins, literacy outreach co-ordinator for the Shuswap, at 250463-4555 or go to admin@shuswapliteracy. ca for more information.

mistakes and try again. • Start small – try an easy recipe on a weekend when you are not rushed or stressed. • Involve kids in the recipe selection and shopping. If they have input into the menu, they will be more inclined to participate. • Review basic safe-
ty – wash hands, knife safety, dangers of hot stoves. Comfort around appropriate tasks for different ages will vary with each parent. I let my five-year-old chop vegetables, but assign my two-yearold tasks like tearing lettuce or cracking eggs (yes, I have eaten
a few little pieces of shell) • Have them take part in the clean-up too. As an alternative to “plugging your kids in,” try cooking with them. Cooking can inspire creativity, responsibility, patience and persistence. Raising a child
with confidence in the kitchen is probably the best thing you can do to support a lifetime of healthy eating habits. In chaotic moments, remember your longterm vision: sleeping in Saturday morning, with your kids bringing you Eggs Benny in bed!

VERNON SEARCH AND RESCUE PHOTO
Sledders airlifted off Crowfoot Mountain By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAFF
A team of 30 searchers and a winchequipped helicopter were involved with the rescue of two snowmobilers from Crowfoot Mountain on Saturday. After two cold, wet nights on the mountain, 48-year-old Mike Griffiths of Moberly Lake and Chase resident Allan Dunk, 46, were hungry, thirsty and thankful for members of the Crowfoot Snowmobile Club as well as Shuswap and Vernon Search and Rescue. Griffiths and Dunk made a four-hour run out to Grizzly Lodge last Thursday, calling friend Brad Hutton in Chase at 2:30 p.m. to say they were heading home, with an ETA of about 6:30 p.m. But the men lost their way because of the low cloud, fog and snow. When the pair failed to return, Hutton called the snowmobile club, whose members immediately began searching. RCMP Sgt. Gary Heebner of the Chase detachment says police were alerted at 4:33 a.m. and immediately called on Shuswap SAR for assistance. Heebner says an RCMP helicopter and one from Lakehead Helicopters in Chase began an aerial search Friday but had to call it off because of the poor visibility.
The Vernon SAR helicopter was also called in but was not able to get into the area and spent Friday night in Salmon Arm. Ground searchers, including 13 members of SAR and some 17 members of the Crowfoot Snowmobile Club, went looking for the two men in the area of Grizzly Lodge. “Later in the day, we got radio communication, but the visibility was so poor, even with communications, they had to spend another night out there,” John Schut, Shuswap SAR search manager, says. “The avalanche danger was high so we had to be careful about where people were going.” Griffiths says Hutton loaned radios to SAR and told them what frequency he and Dunk were operating on. “They’re only good for a 2.5-kilometre radius, so when we got in contact, it was ‘right on, we know you’re within two kilometres,’” says Griffiths. “We gave them our GPS co-ordinates and that’s how they found us so fast.” Griffiths and Dunk made a snow cave with a roof, but the rain percolated through and made for a uncomfortable nights and sleep in 20-minute increments. SAR members meanwhile spent Friday night at the Crowfoot Mountain Chalet and took up the search again at first light Saturday.
The Vernon SAR helicopter arrived and was able to pluck Griffiths and Dunk out of the 150-foot-deep ravine in about 15 minutes. Trevor Honigman, public information officer with Vernon SAR, says the helicopter is an asset for the whole region, not just Vernon, and members are always happy to provide mutual aid. “This is the only search unit in Canada that is certified to utilize the winch in rescue operations,” says Honigman, noting it is a pilot project being assessed by Emergency Management British Columbia (EMBC) and BC SAR. “We want to show that a volunteer team can have the training and skill sets to use this technology efficiently and effectively.” Honigman says the
winch allows the helicopter to send a team straight down and winch people right back up. “This was in an area of 100-foot plus trees… The terrain was so steep, we couldn’t get the snowmobiles out,” he said. The men were taken to Shuswap Lake Hospital but declined treatment and headed to the Crowfoot Snowmobile Club to say thank you to their members and to SAR. “SAR was awesome, but the reason I was found so quickly was because of the people who know the mountain so well,” said Griffiths. “I appreciate what everybody did but SAR’s headquarters is a 1973 bus and I think people should give them funds so they can get some better com-
munication tools. They are doing the best they can on no budget.” Meanwhile, Schut says this is the third time the SAR helicopter has responded with mutual aid – one for a heart attack at Morton Peak and another for a person with a fractured spine at Blue Lake.

Early days of Skmana Lakes ski club By Estelle Noakes CONTRIBUTOR
Part 1 of a two-part feature. Skmana Lakes lie just north of Loakin-Bear Creek Road, 14 kilometres from the Village of Chase or eight off the Adams Lake Road. The two lakes and surrounding area offer a delightful multipurpose recreational area with skiing, snowshoeing and sledding in winter, and camping, fishing, hiking, biking and horseback riding in summer. In early logging days, Adams River Lumber Co. diverted the creek, damming the lake for a flume that transported logs down to the Adams River. Later, the area was used as a Japanese work camp during the Second World War (the old buildings have just recently been bulldozed). A biathlon training area was set up in the 1970s (although there is no evidence of its actual use). The origins of Skmana Lakes as a winter recreational area began in the early 1980s when a group from Chase and Pritchard (including the Spencer, Crema, Clark, Lovlin, McLellan, Hopland, Grube, Hutchings and Boscher families), were searching for a winter recreational area

The first area they tried was the Neskonlith meadows and they skied and tobogganed there for a few years. Jean Jenks along with sons, Hamish and Ian provided ski lessons for children. The area proved unsatisfactory due to the early disappearing and sometimes absent snow. Roger Behn, a teacher from Chase High School, who had been instrumental in the planning for the Biathlon at Skmana Lakes, had some good maps and it was soon discovered that Skmana Lakes lay in a snow belt. An informal recreational area was set up at Skmana Lakes. To enable the club to

trackset the trails, Don and Eileen Boscher supplied a snowmobile. The home-fashioned tracking equipment was such that someone had to sit on it to weigh it down – a very precarious perch. When the snowmobile turned out to be inadequate, the Boshers lent the club $5,000 for the purchase of a Yamaha snowmobile. The club, through fundraising – which included logging and,
later through assisting at casinos – was able to pay off the debt. An old cabin was donated by Quaaout Lodge, hauled to Skmana and put on the west side of West Skmana Lake near the road to the Forest Service Recreation Site. It made a cozy warm-up hut until 2001 when it was burned down by vandals. A new hut was built in the meadow which is not accessible to road traffic. The build-
ers for the cabin were John Thornbury and George Carlin, with the assistance of many club members. With the money raised from casinos, the club was able to afford better tracking equipment. Ted Kay, who was president at that time, was instrumental in the purchase of a Bombardier and trail groomers to track the trails. He did the tracking for many years and looked after the maintenance of the equipment, a position which George Carlin took over and continues to do with help from other members. The old Bombardier served the Skmana Ski Club for more than 20 years and was replaced by a Ginzugroomer and new tracking equipment in 2010. The fundraising for the new equipment was spearheaded in the capable hands of Brian David, then president of the club.

I N P CHATTER at Village Lanes Fun Centre by Calyn Buresh
Hi Everyone! I hope that you all had a great week! I’m very happy to say that this week was the best of my life. On Friday, January 22nd at 5:57pm, Kelly and I welcomed our beautiful baby girl into the world. Emma Jo Collins weighed in at a perfect 7 pounds 5 ounces and measured 19 inches long. For those of you who know my family well, it has been a very real case of Deja Vu these past few days. 25 years ago to the month, my parents, Gord and Linda, welcomed me into the world and introduced me to the life of a bowling alley baby. Emma is four days old today, and has already been passed from bowler to bowler at Village Lanes, just as I was 25 years ago at ‘J’ Lanes in Salmon Arm. Kelly and I want to thank all of our friends, family, and our amazing bowlers for all of the love and support they gave us over the past nine months (not to mention the ridiculous amount of baby gifts). We are so excited to get to share our little bundle with you all, and have you watch her grow with us. Mom, dad, and baby are all doing great. Welcome to the world, my beautiful Emma Jo.

the eastbound lane. BC Ambulance paramedics were on scene, and confirmed the two occupants of the vehicle were not injured.

Heat begins road trip with 4-0 drubbing of Grizzlies crew is not happy and Pat Brady is called on to win his first KIJHL tilt. This leads to Fidanza then getting a power-play tally from Hughes and Brown. In the 2nd, the two teams trade a goal apiece, Willier from Kaden Black and Mason Palaga knotting the game up 3-3. The 3rd is all Chase, who outshoot the home side 11-3 on their way to scoring a pair – Cole Perison with his 1st of the year from Fidanza and Bourne, then Bourne takes the starch out of the Steam with an unassisted empty
netter. Daniel Toews between the pipes stops 26 of 29 to claim the victory. Stat’s and whacks: The Heat lead the KIJHL on Special Teams. The league-leading power play is purring at 24.62 per cent overall, 26.17 per cent at home.

Our company has been providing quality timbers and beams to customers for over 30 years. In 1983, Alan and his wife, Kim returned to the family farm to raise their two children. At this time, Alan started to re-build the mill that he had once worked in as a child. It took a year to re-build the old mill. Alan started cutting ties for the Railroad which were in great demand at the time. He was also cutting cedar cants for a re-saw mill along with beams and timbers for many homes that where built in Sicamous and the area. Alan and Kim operated this mill for seven years. Over time, the orders kept increasing and the old mill could not keep up with the increase of large oversized timber and beams. In 1990, Kim’s father (Merv Siegrist) and mother Anne had moved to Sicamous to become a partner. Alan and Merv bought a new mill large enough to fill the orders of the beams and timbers that the old saw mill could not handle. The next generation has now joined the business. Alan and his son Tyler work the mill together making a great father/son team. Our team at Hyde Sawmill takes great pride in their workmanship and in supplying a superior product to customers.

Three games closer to the end of the regular season results in a tale of three cities. Story line one finds the Heat in the Mountain Mecca of Revelstoke on Tuesday the 19th. The Grizzlies, as expected, are ornery and prepared to feast on their rivals. But alas, something goes awry and a Heat wave takes the nasty out of the cubs. Nic Bruyere in the twine stops 26 of 26 to earn his second shutout of the season in a 4-0 road victory, with all goals coming on the KIJHL-leading power play. The damage in the 1st starts with Michael Fidanza from Trevor Okino and Braden Hughes. Then, Tommy Brown gets goal-number two from Okino and Fidanza. In the 2nd period, leading scorer Kolten Moore pops a pair, the Heat’s third goal is from Josh Bourne and Zach Fournier and the fourth tally’s from Hughes and Okino. Two great
points earned ahead of a challenging couple of contests in wine country. Tale two finds the Chase squad on Saturday the 23rd in the Canadian desert versus the Osoyoos Coyotes. Arguably one of the top-three teams in the league, the talented Yotes get off to a threegoal lead in the 1st prior to a pane of broken glass causing a lengthy delay. After the stoppage the game changes. Although the desert dogs do dump in a fourth tally, the game plays out on a more even basis.

JOHN RUTCZYNSKI John Rutczynski passed away peacefully January 12, 2016 at his home. John was born September 11, 1948 in Calgary. His family moved to Salmon Arm in 1960. John started his pipe laying career in Salmon Arm then moved to Vancouver following the work. He moved back to Salmon Arm in 1991 and worked for Mounce Construction until 2013 when he very reluctantly retired due to health reasons. John leaves behind his good friend Norma Kaufman, niece Diana, sister Chiquita, brother inlaw Andrew and many good friends. As per John’s wishes there will be no funeral service but there will be a memorial held sometime in the early spring when it will be easier for friends traveling from farther away who wish to attend. COLIN DUNCAN SHANTZ “DUNC” Colin Duncan Shantz “Dunc” peacefully left this world Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm, B.C. at the age of 87 years. Left behind to celebrate his life is his loving wife of 66 years, Helen E. Shantz (Keskinen); his son Gregory Shantz and wife Tara Shantz of Armstrong and their children Katie and Jared; son Brian Shantz of Salmon Arm and his sons Michael and Jeremy and their mother Patricia Shantz; daughter Heidi Kotani and her children Hana and Jesse of Kamloops as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his father Colin G. Shantz, mother Eda M. Shantz and brother George T. Shantz “Bud”. Duncan moved to Canoe as a 3 year old boy with his family where they bought 40 acres and then built the Canoe Shingle Mill where Dunc and his brother Bud worked many an hour after school and Saturdays. After graduation from SA High School he worked for Federated Co-op running a tug boat on the Shuswap Lake. He later worked for the CP Railway, owned his own logging company and worked in construction, building the Revelstoke Dam and finishing with the Roger’s Pass Tunnel Project. After retiring at 60 he enjoyed travelling, golf, curling, carpentry, and gardening and built a new home overlooking the Shuswap Lake. Most importantly, Duncan loved providing for his family and was a loving husband, father, “Buppa” to his 6 grandchildren and friend to many. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was always willing to share his wisdom and experience with those he loved. Our lives are full of his stories and we are richer to have had him for so long. The light he leaves behind will shine on our paths as we continue our own journey. His wishes were for no service and only a celebration of his life with family at a later date. We are grateful for the care and support the emergency, I.C.U. and all the staff of Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm gave Dunc while he was there. Thank you! Cremation arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm, B.C. Online condolences may be sent to through Dunc’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
