Politicians unite for TCH upgrades By Barb Brouwer

When it comes to the Trans-Canada Highway, the City of Salmon Arm and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District are on the same page. Appearing as Mayor Nancy Cooper’s alternate at the regional district board meeting last Thursday, Coun. Kevin Flynn said the mayor
had requested a regional letter be sent to Ottawa asking that funding for TCH improvements be included in the 2016 federal budget. Flynn said members of council had met to discuss priorities with MP Mel Arnold. “He said it would be helpful if a regional focus would be sent, particularly if it’s about continued improvements to the TCH – to

Highway tops priority list Continued from front Canada should be the number-one priority in this request. Revelstoke Mayor Mark McKee thanked Salmon Arm for bringing the issue to the board. “Everybody has a pet peeve or project in their area… I like to talk about where there are critical road issues of safety and the feasibility to improve it,” he said. “I could pick three areas in my back yard, but safety is the number one and I want to stay in that vein so we are not pitting one against the other.” McKee also believes it is critical that the federal government sit down with the province and come up with a long-term plan for the Trans-Canada. While agreeing the national link is important, Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan
said his priority is to have a road that connects his area with Sun Peaks. “It would have a tremendous impact on my area,” he said. “It is critical to economic development and tourism.” Salmon Arm director Chad Elision took directors on a trip down memory lane.

“My concern is the timeline...

Trans-Canada Highway but the province was not. “We all know where the TCH is; it’s our mainstream,” she said, noting how accidents, rockfalls and weather mean people are stuck at home or not able to get home. “We want people to come home safely. Flynn said that while safety is of paramount concern, the economic impact of the highway both regionally and nationally cannot be ignored. “There is a time sensitivity to this,” said Flynn, noting that with the deadline for submissions looming, directors should approve a letter to be written by CSRD staff rather than wait to approve a draft at next month’s board meeting. “The key is to have somebody draft a letter that embodies what we have said around the board.” Directors were unanimous in their consent.

Hunt on for refugee housing
City: Accommodation needed for incoming families. By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
Three members of the Salmon Arm Refugee Coalition have Syrian families arriving soon but have nowhere to house them. They need help fast and anyone who can provide a lead on lodging is asked to go to the “post accommodations” link at http:// www.shuswaprefuge. com. In the meantime, Salmon Arm’s first Syrian refugee is well on his way to learning English, thanks, in part, to the help he is receiving from Immigrant Services Shuswap. Behind the glass walls of an office, animated conversation is at full throttle. Mustafa Zakreet is practising his skills while learning about the vast country he can now call home. With the help of volunteer tutor Mary Regier and laminated pages with facts and photos, Zakreet is becoming acquainted with Canada’s provinces and territories. Enthusiasm grows when Regier reveals a photo of Saskatchewan. “Flat,” he says clearly of the Prairie province and the photo of golden wheat fields. Syria used to grow wheat for most of the Arab world, he explains. And even though the country has not been growing the grain for the past five years because of the civil war, Zakreet says stock-piled wheat is still available in Syrian stores. It seems appropriate that Sicamous United Church Minister Juanita Austen arrives unan-

Zakreet’s face lights up with anticipation as he clasps the small bottle that contains za’atar, a Middle Eastern spice mixture used in many dishes and can be eaten on bread drizzled with olive oil. “It means a lot; you can’t know how important it is, I dream to have food from Palestine,” he tells Austen. Grateful to all his tutors, Zakereet says he is
picking up the language quickly, attending three sessions at Immigrant Services, two daytime sessions at Okanagan College and an evening one as well. “At first it was difficult to speak, now it’s better; there are no Arabic people so I have to speak English,” he says. “And I dreamt in English the other night.” Members of the community are invited to an educational evening of films and discussion at 7 p.m. Monday, March 7 at the Salmar Classic Theatre.
Ayotte says the films, one with a young girl whose family fled Syria, will make people aware of why Syrians are looking for a safe and welcoming place to start their lives over.

Salmon Arm child recovering from rare syndrome
Friday, February 26, 2016 Shuswap Market News
By Tracy Hughes
MARKET NEWS STAff
While the prognosis is much brighter, six-yearold Albert Curtis will need time and therapy to recover from a bout of Guillaine-Barre Syndrome, a rare disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks its nerves. The kindergarten student at Salmon Arm West Elementary was diagnosed after he began becoming increasingly clumsy and falling down. He was taken to the ER in Salmon Arm and, as his condition worsened, was referred to BC Children’s Hospital for diagnosis. The syndrome disrupts the nerve pathways resulting in problems with motor control and, in some cases, paralysis. After spending nearly two weeks at BC Children’s Hospital, Albert was able to come home to Salmon Arm, but needs continued therapy. “It’s so much better. After the treatments at Children’s, I was able to see my little boy come back,” says his mother Cheryl, a single parent to Albert and his twin sister Alexandra. “The day he finally walked a step again, I cried. I didn’t know if we were going to see that day because he got so bad, so fast.” Cheryl says the outcome for children with Guillaine-Barre Syndrome is good. “But he’s going to need time to get his strength back and we have to come back to Vancouver for check ups.” A friend started a GoFundMe account for the family, as Cheryl, who has a part-time job, will be unable to work until Albert is more fully recovered. “I’ve had no income since we’ve left and there is a lot of costs. It’s been pretty daunting,” she said. Anyone who wants to help the family can contribute to the GoFund Me account at https://www. gofundme.com/43pa6ffw.

Woman killed in Hwy 97 crash One woman is dead following a two-vehicle collision north of Enderby Tuesday morning. Vernon RCMP state that shortly before 7 a.m., a southbound pick-up with a male driver and a northbound car driven by a woman collided headon on Highway 97A
near Fenton Road, close to North Enderby Timber. Both vehicles ended up in the eastside ditch. The woman driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The male driver and a male passenger in the truck were taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with non-life-
threatening injuries. An RCMP reconstructionist was at the scene and the highway was reduced to singlelane alternating for several hours. The investigation continues with assistance from the B.C. Coroners Service. No names had been released by press time.
Airlift needed for accident victim A Salmon Arm woman had to be airlifted to hospital following a side-swipe collision with a semitrailer on Friday, Feb. 19. At approximately 3 p.m., Salmon Arm RCMP and rescue crews responded to a two-vehicle collision in the 4400 block of the
Trans-Canada Highway in Canoe, near the Cal-Van Motel. Police indicate a car, which was headed east, suffered major damage as it collided with the side of the trailer and hit the trailer wheels of the westbound semitruck. The driver of the eastbound car was
transported to hospital with significant upperbody injuries. Police have no update on her injuries at this time. A young child was riding in a car seat at the time of the crash and was not hurt. The driver and passenger of the westbound tractor-trailer unit were not injured.

show search and rescue some respect Maybe it’s the false sense of security that cell phones bestow on people. Maybe it’s a misunderstanding of the power of a mountain. Maybe it’s just a complete absence of thought. Whatever the reason, mountains have been doing what they do during winter recently, while some people appear to have been steadfastly ignoring them. Search and Rescue groups in B.C. have been far too busy of late, heading into the mountains at their own risk to rescue backcountry enthusiasts. After hearing avalanche warnings leading up to this past weekend, it was saddening to hear reports of snowmobilers injured, killed and rescued after they ended up under avalanches. One volunteer expressed his frustration to the media about the number of people who are heading out into the backcountry without adequate knowledge or preparation. And so he should. These rescues are dangerous, expensive and disruptive to the lives of the rescuers – a task they’ve willingly undertaken, but not without serious thought. Those who risk unnecessarily falling into harm’s way owe their potential rescuers equal consideration before heading out. At the very least when going into the backcountry for any winter activity, remember what our local Shuwap Search and Rescue group stresses: • Make a plan, communicate that plan and, if plans change, make sure everyone is made aware. • Have a satellite phone, inreach devices, a search beacon, FRS radios, extra batteries. Do not rely on your cellphone. • Take a fire starter kit, personal first aid kit and enough food and water for a 24-hour period. • Have people with you and carry a probe and shovel. • Dress for the conditions and pack extra socks, gloves and toque. And, most importantly, think, think, think before you head out.

Giving in to the charm of a hokey boat Over the years I have owned a fair number of boats. Nothing really fancy – mostly just plain little utilitarian fishing boats. I enjoy being out on the water, just sitting there, enjoying the warmth of the sun on my face, breathing in the fresh air. Having sold my last boat two years ago, I have been looking for just the right watercraft to suit my needs. The other day I stopped to talk to an old friend of mine who was standing at the end of his driveway chatting with a neighbour. As we talked about what we’d been up to, the upcoming fishing season, the weather and politics, my eyes wondered to a 12-foot Sportspal canoe atop a vehicle a couple of driveways further up the street. I mentioned I wouldn’t mind owning such a unique little watercraft. The fellow who had been chatting with my friend said it was his and asked how much I would be willing to pay. A few minutes later I was the proud owner of a Sportspal. Sportspals cannot be described as fancy. They are constructed from lightgauge, marine-grade alu-
The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray minum and painted to look like an old-style birchbark canoe. Now if the birchbark paint job isn’t hokey enough to turn most people off, there are also two six-foot by fiveinch strips of heavy black floatation foam (sponsons) bolted onto the sides. The interior of the canoe is also lined with a layer of floatation foam. Which brings us to the Sportspal’s one truly redeeming quality – it is virtually unsinkable. The fact that Sportspal canoes have an almost cult following is an altogether different subject. Since it’s humble beginnings in 1947 in Cedric Summers’ small North Bay, Ont. garage, the Sportspal Canoe has grown to become a Canadian icon “born of
Canadian waters” that are used by thousands of enthusiasts around the world. Originally built in 12- and 14-foot pointed models, there are now eight models, pointed and square stern, with five colour options and a whole whack of accessories such as specially designed oars, webbed seats, a fitted foam seat with backrest, a carrying yoke, collapsible anchor, replacement sponsors, a specially designed foam roof rack and a portable repair kit. While the Sportspal comes with oarlocks for rowing, it can also be rigged with an optional motor-mount bracket that attaches to the transom for a small gas or electric trolling motor. One really neat feature of the Sportspal is that it can be rigged with an optional sail kit. I can just see myself cruising along on a breezy summer’s day with the sail billowing in the wind. Weighing in at 34 pounds, with a 38-inch beam and 13 inches of depth, my 12-foot Sportspal should be a great little watercraft for fishing or cruising the shoreline of any small Interior lake. I also like the idea that at 34 pounds, I
can easily lift the canoe by myself, which means getting it on and off the roof of my vehicles and lifting it in and out of the water. It’s funny how I noticed my Sportspal that day when I stopped to talk with a friend. Come to think of it, I have always noticed Sportspal canoes whenever I have seen them atop vehicles passing by or out on the water. And if the truth be told, I probably always wanted to own one – inspired by their hokey birchbark paint jobs and ‘unique’ appearance. All I know for sure is that this coming season I’ll be spending a lot more on the water in my new Sportspal, revelling in just being out there. Maybe I’ll cruise around, trolling a line and take in all the sights and sounds around me. Maybe next fall, when the autumn winds begin to blow, I’ll be able to head out on the water with one of those optional sail kits and be the master at the helm of my own ship. I know I’ll probably never own a sailboat (not that I have ever really wanted to) but I do own a Sportspal – and that’s good enough for me.

Family reunites with pet
Sicamous: Missing dog survives a month in the bush. By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Lizzie the dog will likely be on a very short leash for some time to come. On Saturday, about a month after she went missing in the Old Town Bay area, Lizzie was found and returned to her owners, Liza, Dean and Melissa Yaretz. The dog was found by Wayne Pedersen, who had been at the beach in Old Town with friends and fellow Langdon, Alta. residents Teresa Sutherland, Kerwin Abram and Loretta Pitt, working on his houseboat. Pedersen said they saw the dog walk onto the beach and initially thought it belonged to another person whose car was parked nearby. “We went to leave and saw a poster of a missing dog,” commented Pedersen. “The dog came up to us and met the description and hopped in my truck.” Lizzie was returned to the Yaretz’ on Feb. 20. The family is grateful to Pedersen and company, and to all those who spent hours climbing and searching the area where Lizzie went missing. “We had people in groups out there searching and hiking the mountain… day and night. I mean, I couldn’t have asked for better,” said Liza, who is amazed that Lizzie was returned, but adds she never gave up hope. Though Lizzie is

■ Dean Yaretz holds his family’s dog Lizzie tightly after her return. one of the family, she’s especially fond of Melissa who is relieved to have her canine companion back. “I just want to thank everybody that helped out,” said Melissa. “I’m glad Lizzie is home safe. My dad was worried – he looked for her with help from everybody. I’m happy to have my Lizzie back.” Liza said Dean was out taking Lizzie and another family dog for an evening walk when Lizzie broke away and disappeared. Search efforts have been going on since, with help from numerous family friends including Debbie Fortin of K9-1-1 Animal Rescue and Vikki Myers of Grandma Vikki’s Dog Grooming. Myers, who cares for Lizzie’s mother and three brothers, said she was determined to find the dog as soon as she received word it had gone missing. This, said Myers, involved a
lot of climbing. During the search, Myers said the faint sound of a dog barking could be heard, but no one could determine exactly where it was coming from. But like Liza, Myers said she never gave up hope, inspired by the story of a golden retriever that was missing for two years before it returned home. “There was hope in that story,” said Myers. Liza says Lizzie’s good health before she went missing likely helped her to survive in the bush. Though Lizzie lost weight during her backcountry experience, Liza says the dog is doing well. “We’re all glad she’s home and it’s going to be a slow road to recovery but we’re going to get her there,” said Liza. “She’s showing all good signs. She’s spirited, she’s happy, she’s back into her routine – just very low energy.”
The relieved Liza called it a learning experience for her whole family, Lizzie included. It’s one, however, that won’t be repeated as Lizzie may find herself fitted with a GPS collar for future walks. “She’s not going to be doing that again,” laughs Liza.

Let’s invest in our community
Paul Demenok Recently the CSRD board unanimously approved a resolution to be reviewed at the upcoming Southern Interior Local Government Association meeting which asks the B.C. government to implement legislation providing tax credits to those investing in Community Economic Development Investment Funds, or CEDIFs, in this province. In Nova Scotia, investors receive a per-
support corporations located in major urban centres in Canada or other countries. This exodus of funds does nothing to help local communities. CEDIFs are usually structured as share-issuing co-operatives or corporations that sell shares to the public and use the capital raised to invest in eligible local businesses. Rules guide the maximum annual contribution amounts, the application of the personal tax credit, dividends, uses of funds, number of investors and shares within a fund, and length of time that funds must remain invested. In Nova Scotia, 48 different CEDIF funds have invested more than $43 million back into local communities
over the past 15 years. A review of this program determined that it was revenue-neutral after two years. CEDIF funds address specific or general needs for capital. Some funds are very specific with the entire investment pool directed towards one project; others support a sector of the economy, and still others are so-called “blind pools” which are used to support all types of businesses within a geographic area. One of the most successful CEDIF funds in Nova Scotia is the Farmworks program (see farmworks.ca). Each CEDIF fund is developed by a group of individuals who wish to financially sup-

sonal tax credit of 35 per cent in year one, an additional 20 per cent in year five and a further 10 per cent in year 10 when they purchase shares in a CEDIF fund. Some funds pay annual or semi-annual dividends providing a further return on investment, and CEDIFs may be eligible for RRSPs. A key rationale for establishing a tax-beneficial CEDIF structure in B.C. is the obvious benefit of directing funds back into one’s own community in order to help stimulate the local economy. Providing tax credits significantly increases the attractiveness of CEDIFs to investors. Currently, most investment vehicles result in funds being moved to

City council sends budget wishes
MAYOR’S MESSAGE Nancy Cooper I do not remember a time when the public has been asked to provide input into a federal budget and I encourage you all to do so. City council certainly took the opportunity; here is our letter and budget submission to Minister of Finance Bill Morneau. Dear Minister Morneau: Thank you for your invitation to provide input into the 2016 federal budget. The Salmon Arm City council supports your government’s initiative to help build the necessary infrastructure projects that provide employment, are environmentally friendly and either repair or replace the present eroding infrastructure. We recognize that the Chase to Alberta transportation corridor connects east to west and plays a vital role in the movement of goods to the Port of Vancouver. This stretch of highway is integral to our economy and our people and, as such, should be a primary focus. A key component of
the Chase to Alberta transportation route is the Salmon River Bridge on the TransCanada Highway, west of Salmon Arm. This two-lane, curved bridge is old and dangerous and is in need of replacement. Our city’s commercial sector has grown on the west side of town, and the traffic on the highway channels from four to two lanes across this bridge. The provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has been working with the city and our First Nations neighbours, the Neskonlith and Adams Lake Indian bands, to finalize this project. We need Federal funds to make the project happen. Not only will completion of this project help meet the government’s goal of
four-laning the TransCanada Highway, the flood mitigation strategies embedded in the plan will help solve a long-standing problem of the imminent flooding of the Salmon River. While our city has many projects that we are working towards, we would like to take this opportunity to draw attention to one other crucial infrastructure project that needs federal funding: the upgrade of the sanitary sewer main which runs along the foreshore of Shuswap Lake. This line moves sewage from Canoe and outlying subdivisions to our sewage treatment plant. The main was installed in 1976 and is 39 years old. We had a breach in the line in
2012, and narrowly averted an environmental disaster of sewage spilling into our lake. It is only a matter of time before the pipe fails again. We have applied for a grant under the New Building Canada Small Communities Fund; the project cost is estimated at $1.8 million, however we were unsuccessful. We were told to apply for phase two funding of this grant and are optimistic we will receive federal funds to ensure we can complete these upgrades. We appreciate the opportunity to provide input to your government around the 2016 budget and look forward to working with you to ensure important infrastructure projects will be able to move ahead.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
How to do a self-breast exam (NC) Breast cancer can be a prolonged and difficult battle. Once in remission, having to think about the possibility of recurrence can be a painful process. However, in order to prevent relapse, it is important to maintain breast health for the best possible outcome. RCA Diagnostics notes that the possibility of recurrence is common among breast cancer survivors, but with the right steps, getting to know your breasts again can help save your life. Following treatment, a woman’s breasts will invariably feel and look different. Self-screening can be a frustrating process for many, and it can at times
be scary. Getting to know your body again will aid in the healing process and help to detect any early signs that cancer might return. Through self-assessment, women will be able to get to know the new formation of their breasts and understand how to find lumps, bumps and abnormalities. Changes to look for include: • Dimpling of the skin; • Discharge from the nipple; • Lumps; • Rashes on the breast. RCA also recommends looking for the following additional signs that could signal recurrence: • Bone pain; • Chest pain; • Abdominal pain;
• Shortness of breath; • Persistent headaches and coughing. In addition to selfscreening, counselling following treatment, continuing to utilize diagnostic services including ultrasounds and women’s imaging, as well as following a routine of daily exercise and a healthy lifestyle can
also aid in recovery. RCA Diagnostics offers women’s imaging that provides a wide range of medical imaging services at clinics across western Canada. More information about breast health and screenings is available at www.radiology.ca/ www.newscanada.com
What to know about getting a mammogram RCA recommends selecting the service dependent on how you fit the following descriptions. Women who would have a screening mammogram: • Have had no signs of breast cancer in the past; • Have had no signs of breast abnormalities in the past; • Are over the age of 40 and have never been screened. Women who would have a diagnostic mammogram: • Have had the possibility of breast
abnormalities occur in the past; • Have had a breast augmentation; • Have a history of cancer; • Have had a breast biopsy or breast surgery in the last three years; • Have found an abnormality during a self-screen. RCA Diagnostics provides diagnostic women’s imaging services. More information is available at www. radiology.ca/services/ mammography.. www.newscanada.com
TAMMYHOWKINS HOWKINS TAMMY
abnormality is found by screening and are sometimes conducted for women who have previously had breast cancer, biopsy procedures or a history of cancer in their family. “During a diagnostic mammogram, more photos are generally taken in order to look closer at the area of concern,” says Dr. Valentine. “Depending on the case, we may also do an ultrasound or use varying imaging techniques in order to evaluate the concern in more depth.”
LAURA LAVIGNE LAURA LAVIGNE
explains the difference: S c r e e n i n g mammograms are generally used for women who have no symptoms or signs of cancer and are precautionary in nature. “Screening mammograms take an X-Ray of the internal structure of the breast tissue in order to detect signs of breast cancer that are too small to be felt by a woman or her doctor,” explains RCA’s Dr. Valentine. D i ag n o s t i c mammograms are used when an

(NC) Women know that getting a mammogram done every year is an important step in taking care of themselves and detecting or preventing any potential problems. While many women may have heard of screening mammograms for detection and prevention of breast cancer, there is a different type of testing for those patients who require a more in-depth screening.

Films, speakers to address indigenous rights The Salmon Arm Ecumenical KAIROS Committee presents “Standing With the Unist’ot’en: Protect the Land, Water and Indigenous Rights,” at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 28, at First United Church. The Unist’ot’en, a clan of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, are struggling to prevent three petroleum companies from laying pipelines in their territory. Two would carry liquid gas obtained through hydraulic fracturing (fracking), which
is 20 times more powerful a climate change driver than carbon dioxide. The other pipeline (Northern Gateway) would carry corrosive bitumen from the Alberta tar sands, risking contamination of land and water from leakage and spills. Denying permission is a First Nations right enshrined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which states that there must be free, prior and informed consent from the indigenous people con-
cerned before any project affecting their lands or territories can be approved. The TRC Report has shown Canadians how churches and governments collaborated to extinguish language, culture and identity of indigenous children, breaking bonds of family and community, contributing to a separation of people from the land, while suppressing the spirituality that celebrated that connection. KAIROS Salmon Arm sees the Feb. 28 program as a small
New to the Community or Expecting a Baby....
part of that important work. The program will feature talks by Rev. Jenny Carter, the Minister at First United Church, and Kanahus Manuel, Secwepemc land defender. There will also be two short films about the work of the Unist’ot’en, and a silent auction as a fundraiser to help with legal costs. The program will begin at 2 p.m. while the auction will open at 1:30 p.m. For more information, contact Anne Morris at 250-8335773.

Please note there is new registration practice for both EARLY and LATE immersion. Please read carefully! To find out more about French Immersion opportunities in our schools, and to possibly register your child for French Immersion, it is essential to attend the information meeting which pertains to your student!
The meetings will be held on Tuesday, March 1 at 7 p.m. at École Élémentaire Bastion Elementary (early immersion) and L’École Intermédiare Shuswap Middle School (late immersion).
It is essential for all parents interested in the early French Immersion program to attend these information meeting on March 1st at 7 p.m. If the numbers work out then registration will be taken at this meeting.

Discussing milk
Serena Caner “Is milk good for you?” Nutrition has become an increasingly difficult field to navigate as there is a surplus of information. Both good and bad, it is swayed not only by health but ethics, culture, taste, marketing and personal experience. The truthful answer to almost any nutrition question is, “it depends who you ask!” Nutritionally speaking, cow’s milk is an important food in Canada because it is the main source of three important nutrients: calcium, vitamin D and protein. An eight-ounce glass of milk offers about nine grams of protein (the equivalent to one and a half eggs), 300 milligrams of calcium (30 per cent of what most need in a day) and 100 IU of vitamin D. Bones can be thought of as calcium banks, and if you do not get enough calcium from your diet, the body will withdraw it from your bones. Over time, this makes them thin and porous and prone to breaking. Breaking bones later in life can be devastating, leading to hospitalizations and

even loss of independence and mobility. That being said, there are many valid reasons to avoid milk. Many people are lactose intolerant (meaning they cannot break down the sugar in milk), some are allergic, some are trying to avoid animal products, some do not like the taste. For those people, industry has created many alternatives: soy, almond, hemp, coconut, rice, cashew. However, there are a few things to keep in mind if you are choosing a milk alternative: • Not all milk alternatives are fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Check the label. • Milk alternatives, with the exception of soy milk, are not significant sources of protein. • The sugar and calcium found in milk are naturally occurring, whereas those found in milk alternatives are added (usually as cane sugar and calcium carbonate). • Milk alternatives are not appropriate for children under the age of two. Acceptable alternatives to homogenized milk are fortified full-fat pasteurized goat’s milk or soy infant formula. Fortified soy beverages are acceptable if given as an occasional offering, in addition to breastmilk or formula. -Serena Caner is a registered dietician at Shuswap Lake Hospital.

It’s going to cost more to attend Okanagan College. The institution will increase its tuition for domestic and international students by two per cent in the coming year. “The decision was reached by the college’s board of governors Tuesday, and follows policy set by the provincial government which limits fee increases to that amount,” states a release. For a university transfer arts student taking a full load of lecture courses, the increase will amount to about $64 per year, rising to $3,277. For a student taking a six-month electrical foundation program, tuition would increase by $50 to $2,586.

Expanding: Adams Lake band to work with Westbank First Nation. The Adams Lake Indian Band will be expanding Chief Atahm School, one of B.C.’s most successful immersion schools. The Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs, Carolyn Bennett, announced on Feb. 23 funding support for nine innovative projects that will result in new school facilities for more than 20 First Nations communities across the country. The minister made the announcement during her address to the Assembly of First Nations National First Nation Directors of Education Forum, where First Nation directors of education gathered to share successful education practices and
discuss approaches to move forward on First Nation education. The First Nationsled school facility projects will use innovative approaches to build school facilities that meet the needs of First Nation students on reserves. By using innovative approaches to school construction, such as bundling projects and contracts, employing modular and pre-fabricated construction and using alternative financing measures, the projects will enable more First Nation students to benefit from new or renovated school facilities. The new Innovation Fund recipients in B.C. include: Adams
Lake Indian Band, Squiala First Nation, Old Massett Village Council First Nation and Westbank First Nation. Others are: Blood Tribe/Kainai (Alberta), Meadow Lake Tribal Council (Saskatchewan), Fisher River First Nation and Southeast Resource Development Council Corp (Manitoba) and the Innu Takuaikan Uashat mak ManiUtenam First Nation (Quebec). “The Adams Lake Indian Band is excited to be a recipient of the Innovation Fund for education construction,” stated Adams Lake Band Chief Robin Billy in a news release. “This funding will be used

Houseboat hearing to focus on delays By Tim Petruk
KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A hearing is set for April 11 to determine whether delays in criminal proceedings should overturn the conviction of a boater who crashed into a houseboat, killing its operator. In October, Leon Reinbrecht was found guilty in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm for his actions on July 3, 2010. Reinbrecht’s speedboat on Shuswap Lake ran into a houseboat ] killing Ken Brown and injuring a number of passengers. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan found Reinbrecht guilty on both counts, finding he was travelling too fast and recklessly in the moments before he struck Brown’s houseboat in the dark. Defence lawyers working for Reinbrecht earlier filed a challenge alleging delays in legal
proceedings caused by the Crown breached Reinbrecht’s rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It took 17 months for charges to be laid and there were a number of delays before the trial. The hearing was originally set for March, but the defence applied for an adjournment to give more time to prepare.

Chase RCMP called out Shuswap Search & Rescue on Saturday night, Feb. 20, to assist the Crowfoot Snowmobile Club with a missing snowmobiler in their area. The man had been separated from his friends for more than 10 hours before he was located by members of the Crowfoot sled club. The sledder was then brought back to the cabin to be warmed up until Shuswap SAR could arrive and complete a first-aid assessment. Besides being very cold, he was very thankful to all who came to his aid. When heading out into the backcountry for any winter activity, Shuwap SAR would like to remind the public of the following tips. • Make a plan, communicate that plan and, if plans change, make sure everyone is made aware. • Communications – have a satellite phone, inreach devices, Spots, FRS radios, extra batteries. Do not rely on your cellphone. • Take a fire starter kit, personal first aid kit and enough food and water for a 24-hour period. • PPE - Have peeps, probe and shovel. • Clothing – dress for the conditions and pack extra socks, gloves and toque.

I N P CHATTER at Village Lanes Fun Centre by Calyn Buresh
Hello again everyone! As per usual, I hope you all had a lovely week! We are gearing up for one of our busiest weekends of the year; our annual February Bowl-A-Spiel! Village Lanes will be playing host this weekend to roughly 30 teams, both local and out of towners who are looking to claim the prestigious Bowl-ASpiel trophy! It’s a fun weekend, filled with round the clock bowling, a drink or two, and a Chinese dinner for those participating! In conjunction with the tournament, the Village Lanes Bowling Club also puts on a silent auction fundraiser to help support our youth and senior programs! The silent auction opens at 4:00pm on Friday evening, and closes on Saturday evening at 6:00pm! The auction is NOT limited to bowlers only, so if you’re looking for something to do this weekend, come down to the lanes to watch some bowling, and bid on some auction items for a great cause! Congratulations being sent out to our two Chase teams who participated in Port Coquitlam for the chance to win a trip to Hawaii! Unfortunately, if our local competitors are wanting to go on a sunny trip, they will have to pay for it themselves, as they did not win this past weekend. Red Manson and Terry Vandevosse placed 8th, while Terry Berreth, and partner Ray Jackson placed 11th. Now for some weekly league high scores! Patrick Wright had a massive day on the lanes last Thursday, bowling a 326 single and a 782 triple! Way to go Patrick! Mayor Rick Berrigan rolled a 304 single, his first one ever! Congrats Rick! The men outplayed the ladies this week, while Larry Carlson rolled a 301 single. Well done guys! We will get you next week! Until then, have a great week!

Chase Heat playoff bound By Scott Koch CONTRIBUTOR
The Chase Heat, after 52 regular season games, are headed to the 1st round of playoffs versus the Kamloops Storm. The Heat finished third in their division and take on the Big City crew that finished second. The firstplace 100 Mile House Wranglers face the fourth-place Revelstoke Grizzlies. A fierce rivalry exists between Chase and Kamloops and the short trip down the highway should ensure fans from both teams in the stands

n Chase Heat Josh Bourne scores an empty net goal with 1.3 seconds left in the game helping the Heat down the Eagles by a final score of 6-4. every night. At presstime the first two games will have been played in Kamloops. Games 3 and 4 go Friday, Feb. 26 and Saturday the 27th at 7 p.m. at the Art Holding Memorial Arena.
If necessary, Game 5 is in Kamloops Monday the 29th. Game 6 is in Chase Tuesday, March 1 and, if the series goes the full seven games, action will end Wednesday, March 2 in Kam-
loops. Tickets are available at the door and fans are encouraged to wear red! The Heat played three games in five days to wrap up the regular season. On Tuesday the 16th they battled the chippy Revelstoke Grizzlies to a 4-3 victory. On Thursday the 18th, the last home game of 26 saw the local crew snatch a 6-4 win from the talons of the Sicamous Eagles. Over the season the Chase team won 19 of 26 home games. On Saturday the 20th, Chase travelled to 100 Mile House to take part
Gala banquet and awards for Heat As the KIJHL regular season wound down, the Chase Heat held their Annual Banquet and Awards Night. On Sunday, Feb. 21 at the Adams Lake Conference Centre, 175 parents, billet families, fans, volunteers, staff and players congregated. The event included a succulent roast beef and ham dinner, special desserts, a fundraising silent auction, a guest speaker and the award presentations. The evening’s master of ceremonies was Tom Atkinson, the guest speaker Vic Bifano, and Andrea Stelter compiled an excellent, well-received video of the players. Director of hockey operations/head coach Brad Fox presented the well-deserved player awards: • Most Valuable player – Nic Bruyere, #31. • Top Defenceman (tie) – Trevor Okino, #7, Braden Hughes, #20. • Top Scorer – Kolten Moore, #11. • Rookie of the Year – Michael Fidanza, #14. • Most Sportsmanlike – Alexander Durbeniuk, #5. • Warrior (tie) – Spencer Farstad, #26, Travis Beaubien, #17. • Unsung Hero Grady Musgrave, #6. • Most Improved – Pat Brady, #9.
• Top scholastic – Michael Fidanza, #14. • Game Star (tie) – Travis Beaubien, #17, Kolten Moore, #11. • Fan favourite – Kolten Moore, #11. • Most Dedicated – the team. In a surprise announcement, “Foxy” explained the special reasons why the team first-roster received the Most Dedicated award. Those in attendance gave the team a rousing standing ovation in agreement. A special presentation was made to the four 20 year olds on
the team who have completed their junior hockey eligibility. They were the leadership group all season and wore the “letters” as a result. Captain Trevor Okino and assistants Alexander Durbeniuk, Braden Hughes and Tommy Brown were presented with framed mementos, personalized travel bags and Heat golf shirts. In a second surprise of the evening, the four veterans presented Brad Fox with a gift in appreciation of all that he has done for them in their development on
and off the ice. The presentations were concluded with the Volunteer of the Year award going to billet co-ordinator Janice Winfield. She works tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the players have suitable billet homes provided in the community. Without billets, the KIJHL franchise would be nonexistent. The Heat hockey organization is very proud of each and every one of the players who stood united and made 2015-16 the best in franchise history.

FRED WOOD Fred Wood of Salmon Arm, born on February 9, 1930 in Weston Ontario, passed away peacefully on February 16, 2016 at the Kelowna Hospice House. Born to Jack and Lillian Wood he was a brother to Ron (Helen), Jean (Ernie), Ernie (Rita), Mick and Margaret. Fred married Betty Anne Barker in 1951. They lived in Toronto, Winnipeg and Edmonton before settling in Tappen in 1978. Fred and Betty raised 5 children during this time. Following the passing of Betty in 2007 after 55+ years of wonderful marriage, Fred moved into Salmon Arm. In 2010 Fred renewed an old friendship with Marg McQueen. That friendship grew into something special. Marg would eventually move to Salmon Arm in 2010 and the two were married in October 2013. A very thankful Thanksgiving. Fred was an avid outdoorsman, hunting, fishing, and camping were his passions. He was also a fan of big block motorcycles and was the owner of a mid-40’s Harley Davidson. A motorcycle he would eventually sell so he could afford to buy an engagement ring for his bride to be, Betty Anne. But what Fred will be most remembered for is being a father and family man. Fred inspired & enabled his children to do as much as they could as best as he could. Having his kids play softball, baseball, hockey, bowling he ensured we were at the games in time. Fred spent many many hours watching these activities. This passion he would later share with his Grandchildren and created many great memories. Those that came to meet Fred got to know a person who was friendly, honest and kind. He always had time for a long chat or a few words. You need help? Ask Fred. He was someone who would always make an effort to help those who needed help. Perhaps this was best shown when Fred and Betty ran the Salmon Arm Food Bank from 1981 to 1996. Fred and Betty were also responsible for the start-up of the Christmas Bear Program in Salmon Arm. Fred is survived by his wife Margaret and her two sons Jimmy (Shelly) John (Nancy) daughter Anne (Don) son’s David (Beth) Michael (Cheryl) and Scott (Kathleen) ,Tom (deceased 2015) William (deceased 1953). Fred also leaves behind 9 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren which he dearly loved. Fred’s family would like thank those at the Kelowna Hospice House, Dr. Breugum Salmon Arm, Dr. Connor Salmon Arm, Dr. Mark Clark Kelowna. Fred’s family would also like to thank all those friends and family from Salmon Arm to Toronto for their support and well wishes during these past few months. A celebration of life service was held from Bowers Funeral Chapel on Saturday, tributes were shared by family and friends. Cremation arrangements in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm. In lieu of flowers the family request that donations be made to the Shuswap Hospice Society. Donate on-line or mail in, PO Box 976, Salmon Arm, BC V1E 4P1. On line condolences may be sent to Fred’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

FOLLACK, CARL HEINZ Carl Heinz Follack of Salmon Arm, B.C., born in Meeting Lake, Saskatchewan, June 28th, 1933 to Wilhelm and Erna Follack, passed away peacefully at Hillside Village, Salmon Arm, B.C. on February 17th, 2016 at the age of 82. Carl was predeceased by his parents Wilhelm and Erna, wife Marilyn Pritchard, sister Anne, and brothers Wilhelm and Reinholt. He leaves behind his children Linda (Darryl), Rick, Robert and Sandra, as well as grandchildren, Julia, Megan, Nicholas and Nathan, sisters Esther and Lillian, and brother David (Valerie). As a young man, Carl left Saskatchewan and ventured to B.C. where he met Marilyn Pritchard. They were married in Surrey, B.C. on April 19th, 1958 and eventually bought an old farmhouse on 40 acres in Aldergrove where they raised their four children, Linda, Rick, Robert, and Sandra. Carl was a man of few words, but if you wanted a chin-wag, then coffee was always ready at 10 a.m. He was a hard worker and liked to be busy. Carl had no formal training or education, but regardless, was a master of any trade he cared to pursue - carpenter, metalworker, welder, engineer, orchardist and inventor – Carl was talented in all he tackled, and he renovated the house to hold his family and built barns and shops for their farm. Soon the house was a perpetual whirlwind filled with family and friends. Carl was never too busy to help his friends. His workshop was a gathering place where he helped many a neighbour fix equipment or build something for their farms. He and Marilyn operated a successful mink ranch for over 25 years before they “retired” and moved to Salmon Arm in 1990 to an old cherry orchard. There Carl discovered a passion for his orchard and brought it back to life, supplying many happy customers with cherries, strawberries and raspberries over the next 25 years. Again, he brought his many talents to Salmon Arm and spent his days helping his friends and neighbours with whatever needed fixing or building. They were happily married for 45 years before Carl lost his soulmate when Marilyn died in May 2003. We will miss his big smile, his penchant for teasing, his love of a good joke, and his wave as he roars off in his Gator to check the orchard. Thank you to Dr. Amy Megyesi, the staff at Hillside Village, the Shuswap General Hospital and the Shuswap Hospice Society for caring for Carl with such kindness and dedication. There is no funeral by Carl’s request. Ashes will be laid by family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your charity of choice. Arrangements entrusted to Bower’s Funeral Service & Crematorium, Salmon Arm, B.C. (250) 832-2223. Email condolences and memories of Carl through his obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.

we need the venue, and I look to you for help to do that.” Sweetening the deal, MacAulay explained that while the main event is happening on the arena floor, the concourse could be used to show off what the area has to offer. Coun. Kevin Flynn noted he is council’s representative on the Shuswap Recreation Society Board, and the rental quote given to Munsie seemed ex-
include costs in registration fees to cover such events. He said he’d be willing to go with the $2,000 and offer his own sweat equity. Eliason said the city offsets costs for every event in the arena in some form. “These centres are loss leaders for our community, no matter what.” Flynn said he’d like to see the club get sponsorships to reduce the city’s contribution, and noted he likes wrestling as it’s suitable for kids of all sizes.

Staff informed council that the rec society could offer the venue for $7,000, if SAS would do set up and take down. As well, $2,000 is available in the city’s grant handled by the Shuswap Community Foundation. Staff also noted February is a busy time of year for hockey, but juggling could be done. Couns. Alan Harrison and Ken Jamieson stepped out during discussions due to potential conflict of interest, and Mayor Nancy Cooper was absent. Couns. Flynn, Chad Eliason and Louise Wallace Richmond voted to go ahead with the offer of up to $7,000, while Coun. Tim Lavery voted against. He noted other groups

Lack of a venue won’t be a roadblock as Salmon Arm Secondary pursues a wish to host the 2017 BC High School Wrestling Championships. City council has agreed to provide up to $7,000 – $2,000 from the Shuswap Community Foundation and up to $5,000 from the council initiatives budget – to ensure that SAS can apply to host the championships. SAS Sullivan campus principal Rob MacAulay is grateful to have volunteer wrestling coach Ray Munsie working with the school. He says Munsie has helped create what is now the biggest sports team at SAS, just about doubling the number of students participating in winter sports. “And because he is present here, we have a real opportunity to bring in a venue that normally
it so easy to control the crowd. “Whether the venue comes to us as an outand-out grant… or whether it comes in the form of a gift… We don’t need the money,

we would have absolutely no chance of bringing into this community that will not only give us some great sports opportunities, but will actually have some very pleasant fiscal results for our community,” MacAuley told city council Feb. 8. The championships would be held late February or early March. With the 442 competitors the championships saw this year, Munsie estimates a similar event in Salmon Arm could generate about $45,000 in economic spinoffs. Munsie said whether he submits a bid would depend on if the event can be held at Shaw Centre. He said he was quoted about $10,000 for the three days needed for the event. “In the past six years – and that’s as far back as I’ve tracked it… every host city for the past six years has donated the venue,” said Munsie. “The best ones that we have had are hockey arenas because it makes
