longed to the Canadian Airborne Regiment and wore the international sign of airborne troops - the maroon beret. Knipstrom came back from Germany and continued serving with the Royal Westminster Regiment and had numerous attachments with the PPCLI in bases across Canada. In 1980, he joined the New Westminster Police Force and stayed on with the Royal Westminster Regiment. The Royal Westminster Regiment is a Primary Reserve infantry unit of the Canadian Armed Forces. The Regiment’s history traces back to the New Westminster Volunteer Rifles in 1863. It has served at home, and overseas with NATO and UN operations. Each year, he was involved in winter warfare training exercises, an annual exercise designed to maintain arcticcapable Regular and Reserve Force soldiers who can deploy on short notice in support of Government of Canada initiatives at home or abroad. He recalls one year, when his regiment left a +32C Vancouver in a Hercules military transport plane and landed five hours later in -40C temperatures. As the Hercules lifted off to depart, they were told the temperature would soon drop to -60C and they had one hour to put up tents to take cover before they might freeze to death. In 1982, he was promoted to the rank of Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) and appointed as the Regimental Sergeant
Major (RSM). He stayed with the Royal Westminster Regiment until 1986, when he left to concentrate on his duties in the New Westminster Police Department (NWPD). In March of 2003, he was shot in the line of duty and after a three-month recovery, ran the front counter until he retired in 2007. Brian then moved to the North Shuswap and after a few years of retirement, started Shuswap Lake Security Service, which has licensed security professionals who provide a variety of services for homes and businesses. He has 5 medals. The Special Service Medal (SSM -NATO), the Canadian Forces Exemplary Service Medal (CD) , the Canadian Police Exemplary Service Medal, the BC Medal of Valor (the highest award for a police officer in BC) and the 125-year Royal Westminster Regiment Service Medal. Knipstrom will be one of the veterans attending Remembrance Day services at Lakeview Centre in Anglemont on November 11. The theme this year will be Vimy Ridge, in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the Battle. Many historians and writers consider the Canadian victory at Vimy a defining moment for Canada, when the country emerged from under the shadow of Britain. Canadian troops earned a reputation as formidable, effective troops because of the success, but it was a victory at a terrible cost, with more than 10,000 killed and wounded.
North Shuswap Food Bank Christmas Hampers
By Alison Elmes It is hard to believe that another Christmas season is almost here. Once again it is time to begin planning for the Christmas Hamper program. The hampers and caring that can be offered to people who find themselves in difficulties, for whatever reason, make a big difference over the holiday season. The purpose of the North Shuswap Food Bank/Christmas Hamper Committee is to help everyone in need but especially families with children. This program is very dependent on the continuing generosity of the commu-
nity. Donations of non perishable food item and gifts can be put in the collection boxes at SuperValu, and Ross Creek Country Store after November 15th. Cheques, made payable to the North Shuswap Food Bank, can be mailed to: 7465 Squilax/ Anglemont Road, Anglemont, B.C, V0E 1M8. Non- tax deductible receipts will be issued. If you wish to add your name or someone else’s name to the list to receive a Hamper, please call Janice at 250-955- 2393 after November 18th and before the cut off date of Saturday, December 10th, 2017.

...Kick-Back!! By Editor Jo Anne Malpass It’s that time again, when we realize the inevitable arrival of winter driving conditions is just around the corner. When the forecast calls for snow, sleet or ice, the safest course of action is to stay off the roads. But if there’s somewhere you need to be, use these tips to help you prepare for winter travel. Plan your route ahead of time. Check the current road conditions and weather forecast. Respect road closure signs and barriers and do not attempt to drive on these routes until they are re-opened. Leave lots of time so you’re not rushing. Keep at least four seconds distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. This will allow plenty of room in situations where you may need to brake suddenly on a slippery surface. In the winter of 2016, there were 626 motor-vehicle casualty crashes in B.C. between October and December, where driving too fast for the conditions was a contributing factor, a 10% increase over 2015. On average, each year in BC, the number of casualty crashes due to driving too fast for conditions doubles in December compared to October. Between 2012 and 2016, an average of more than 260 casualty crashes occurred in December compared to approximately 130 in October. Learn winter road skills. Through training and practice, learn how to brake safely, how to get out of a skid, and how your car handles in winter weather. Try to travel during daylight and let someone know your route and planned arrival time. Don’t use your cruise control, and avoid sudden stops and quick direction changes. Be extra cautious on bridges, ramps and overpasses, as they may freeze first. Wear comfortable clothing that doesn’t restrict your movement while driving. Bring warm clothing (winter
boots, coat, gloves and hat) with you in case you need to get out of your vehicle. Have an emergency plan. If you get stuck or stranded, don’t panic. Stay with your vehicle for safety and warmth. If you have a cell phone and it is an emergency, call 911. Otherwise, call for roadside assistance. Pack a winterizing kit. Include extra antifreeze and windshield wiper fluid, blankets, a shovel, an ice scraper, a flashlight, bags of sand or kitty litter to help you gain traction on slippery surfaces like parking lots, extra drinking water and non -perishable snacks. Keep your gas tank full in case of detours and delays. Plus, a full gas tank isn’t as likely to freeze your car’s gas line. Cut the distractions. Take the extra time to make sure your visibility isn’t compromised by frost, ice or snow. Put away your phone, turn off the music, keep your hands on the wheel, and your eyes on the road. Get a pre-winter check-up for your car. Take your car in for recommended car maintenance to ensure it’s in top condition to handle winter driving. Make sure the heater is in good working condition, and winter tires are installed if needed. Winter tires or chains are required on most routes in BC from October 1 to March 31. British Columbia accepts tires displaying the mountain and snowflake symbol or the M+S (mud and snow) symbol, with at least 3.5 mm tread, as winter tires. Tires with the 3-peaked mountain and snowflake symbol offer the best traction on snow and ice, and in cold weather. With its webcams and road condition reports, DriveBC is a great way to know before you go. DriveBC has a Mobile App or call toll free at 1-800-550-4997. You can also utilize Shuswap Road Report on Facebook for comments and questions about road conditions.

Request for Restructure Planning Grant The CSRD Board supported a restructure planning grant application to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing in the amount of $40,000 for a community issues assessment project in Electoral Area F, to be cost shared by the CSRD with a contribution of up to $20,000. The recommendation also includes the development of a Terms of Reference that establishes scope and objectives for the Community Issues Assessment. The Board endorsed a letter to Minister Selena Robinson from CSRD Board Chair Rhona Martin sent October 20 with a formal request for the funding, which says in part; “We believe that a community initiative assessment would be a helpful process in identifying community needs and issues, and an excellent method of involving a public consultation process to obtain perspectives from the Area F community.” A CSRD delegation met with Ministry staff at the Union of BC Municipalities convention in September and provided Ministry staff with information about a recent Governance Review for the Scotch Creek area. The study was undertaken by an independent study group (the North Shuswap Incorporation Feasibility Study Group), in November 2016. Area F Director Morgan, relayed the message to Ministry staff of his interest in pursuing a similar exercise to that of the Area C Governance Study, that would entail the entirety of Electoral Area F. “Ministry staff gave a preliminary indication that it would be open to considering a CSRD request for restructure planning grant funding this Provincial fiscal year to undertake a community issues assessment for Area F. This is a project that the CSRD would like to initiate later this 2017 year or in the first quarter of 2018 at the latest. In pursuing this funding
application, CSRD Administration would develop a Terms of Reference for the project, in collaboration with Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing staff.” • Grants in Aid – The board approved a grant in aid for Area F: Standing Seam Metal Roofing Lakeview Community Centre Socie Prolock Metal Roofing ty (Remembrance Day Event) Metal Wall Cladding $1950 Building Inspection – Timelines for Torch-On Flat Roof Systems the Proposed Building Regulatory Custom Flashing Bylaw - CSRD staff presented a report outlining the timelines for the estabFully Licensed and Insured lishment of the proposed building bylaw to implement building regulation Call for a FREE QUOTE in Electoral Areas B and E and the existing service area of Electoral Area F.

Electoral Area F: Temporary Use Permit - 3810 Kenwood Gate - The subject property where the new building is proposed is currently zoned Commercial – 1 (C1) which does not permit industrial type uses such as the proposed manufacturing and assembly facility to manufacture and assemble docks, dock anchors, buoy anchors, and water treatment systems. The proposed industrial use of the property was requested for 3 years and was authorized by the Board.

The proposed Lot 2 would be rezoned to IG Industrial Gravel Processing to allow an expansion of the existing gravel extraction operation. Magna Bay Zoning Bylaw No. 800 currently has no zone where a toy storage facility is permitted and no adequate definition for the permitted use. To accomplish this, staff proposed a new CDF 2 Comprehensive Development 2 zone. The Board supported second readings and delegation of a Public Hearing, which is set for November 9 at 6:00 pm at Scotch Creek Fire Hall.

fire situation, but on top of that, the whole concept of buying a modular home has caught on in the past few years. People really appreciate how quickly they can have their new home and the price of doing it. Sandra has been with Eagle Homes for just over 5 years. Before that, she was a sales manager for a school photography company. She and her husband, Dave, bought property in Magna Bay about 12 years ago and were coming up almost every weekend from the coast. Six years ago, they moved up full time. At that point, she started working with Eagle Homes, first in Salmon Arm and then in Kamloops a year later when the sales manager position came available. “I love homes and decors and helping people
continued with their choices.” “The North Shuswap has been really good to me,” she said. All around, it’s such a great community. “Life is good here.” She has looked at the different things going on in the North Shuswap and when she retires or semi-retires, she wants to be more involved in the community. Her long working days, which include the daily two-hour travel, leave her little leisure time but “we’ve been frequenting the coffee houses and really enjoy that.” Boating, sledding and photography are some of the things she enjoys most. The Kicker appreciates the advertising support from Sandra Rathwell and Eagle Homes and wishes them continued success on the North Shuswap.

Constructive Meetings at UBCM By Larry Morgan Meetings with Provincial Ministers and staff at the September Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver were positive and encouraging, said Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area F Director Larry Morgan. Director Morgan, CSRD Board Chair Rhona Martin, and staff met with several Ministries on a variety of topics important to the North Shuswap. These included the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) about a road to Sun Peaks; and the condition of the forest service road to Seymour Arm. Re-designation of the Forest Service Road - When Director Morgan suggested a re-designation of the Forest Service Road to Seymour Arm, to have it taken over by MoTI, he was told it would be more cost efficient to have upgrades to the road done under the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO). Of note, a relevant resolution was passed at the UBCM asking the MFLNRO to make an exception for forest service roads that are part of tourism-related circle routes and to maintain them more consistently and work with MoTI to develop a comprehensive plan to improve the forest service roads and transfer responsibility to the MoTI. It was also resolved to ask the Province to work with communities and stakeholders to identify key resource roads that are no longer required for industrial use and designate these roads as recreational roads that require provincial oversight and funding for ongoing maintenance. Governance Study for Area F: Director Morgan was also involved in a meeting with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs about a governance study for Area F. The Ministry was open to the idea of conducting a review of the current situation. (See Kickin Back with Larry for an update on this topic). Invasive Mussels: Director Morgan also participated in a group meeting with the Minister of Environment, organized by the District of Sicamous, regarding the growing concern with invasive mussels potentially contaminating the Shuswap watershed. The meeting included the Mayor of Sicamous and several councillors, Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo, the Mayor of Salmon Arm, along with Director Morgan, as the Vice Chair of the Shus-
wap Watershed Council. The Minister indicated he would look at a possible increase in funding to address this issue. Director Morgan noted this was a prominent issue at UBCM with the Minister also meeting with several other delegations on the same topic. The District of Sicamous also provided a related resolution on Quagga & Zebra Mussel funding, which was endorsed by the UBCM, asking the Province to provide for increased educational funding and increased monitoring efforts to combat the invasive mussel infestation threatening the pristine lakes of BC's tourism areas. Electrification for Seymour Arm: Director Morgan, Chair Rhona Martin, and CSRD staff also received a positive reception from the new Minister responsible for BC Hydro, regarding electrification for Seymour Arm. There was discussion around the possibility of also including federal grant funding for such a project. Although no promises were made, Director Morgan is hopeful there will be progress on this topic. Seminars of Interest: Director Morgan also attended a number of seminars on Infrastructure and Economic Development; Transforming Fluid Mitigation; Funding for Local Governments; Advancing Local Governments and First Nations Relations; and the Water Sustainability Act. Other Relevant Resolutions Several additional and relevant resolutions were endorsed at UBCM. All endorsed resolutions will be sent to the Province for their review and response. Some of the resolutions relevant to Area F include: Interface Wildfire Prevention - that the Province develop a more efficient and effective model to address the interface wildfire risk reduction needs of BC communities, under the supervision of the MFLNRO. Highway Maintenance – to request that MoTI (a) review how it provides performance measures to its public and how it keeps its public informed as to when it can expect the remediation of a maintenance deficiency so that it can devise a process that will assure the public that it is delivering its highway maintenance obligations and (b) ensure adequate resourcing is available to administer and monitor (Continued on page 12)

Chamber News Dave Cunliffe, President DaveCunliffe@AirspeedWireless.ca Requests@NorthShuswapBC.com northshuswapbc.com
As this could be my final article as the Chamber president, I thought it would be appropriate to look back on some of the developments in the North Shuswap over the last ten years. We have seen a lot of change, some good and some not so good. Starting at the east end of the North Shuswap in Seymour Arm, not a lot has changed. Despite the best efforts of our Area Director, there still is no hydro service. Efforts are continuing with BC Hydro and the new provincial government to see electrification become a reality. Efforts are also still underway to see the 1000 road become public. Although our interactions with Seymour Arm have been limited by geography, the Chamber has always recognized that our business members provide them support services. When we did our community signing program, Seymour Arm was included. Moving west, there have been a lot of positive changes in the St. Ives, Anglemont, and Magna Bay areas. The Anglemont Marina is under new ownership and they have made lots of improvements in the operation. The Anglemont water system has resulted in a revitalization of the local real estate market. Vacant lots and houses are selling, there is new building going on and a sense of confidence in the area. The Ross Creek Country Store has become a focal point of the local area and a welcome amenity. The owners have also built the first new campground in the North

Shuswap in recent memory. Celista has followed the trend throughout the North Shuswap. There have been a huge number of home sales and a lot of new people in the area. There also have been some notable changes, the Chimney Rock Campground has steadily upgraded its appearance and improved its operations. The Sun Beach store rose from the ashes and now offers food services, kayak and SUP’s sales and rentals, retail sales, and rides in the giant plastic ball. Thankfully the one thing that hasn’t changed is the North Shuswap Community Hall. This community built, maintained, and operated facility is the social heart of the North Shuswap. Scotch Creek is hanging in there. We are fortunate to have Supervalu, PharmaChoice, Home Hardware, Be teased, Ecotreats, Triton Docks, Century 21, Paradise Pizza, Jimco, Captains Village, and the Copper Island Pub as core businesses. The Health Centre Society has also done an exceptional job in maintaining our clinic and continuing to recruit doctors. The Shuswap Provincial Park is a jewel that keeps attracting tourists every year. It has been sad to see the Park Store and the Fun Centre shuttered for so many years and hopefully something will eventually happen with those properties. There are some signs of positive change. The Friends Restaurant recently sold and we can look forward to them opening soon. Queensbor(Continued on page 14)

ough docks now has a building permit for a new fabrication facility in Kenwood gate that will bring new jobs to the area. They are relocating their operations from Delta to Scotch Creek. Community water and sewer systems remain as critical components for Scotch Creek to grow and become the primary settlement area that our official community plan envisaged. Our local government is moving forward with grant applications for a new water system and there are 2 options on the table for community sewer. The Lee Creek area has also seen a lot of change. The new Cottonwood Campground project is nearing completion and is marketing strata RV lots now. The Gateway development has stalled but still has lots of potential. The Adams River Salmon Society working in partnership with Fisheries and Oceans, local 1st Nations and BC Parks have helped put the Salute to the Sockeye on the international stage. The Spooner operation has expanded exponentially and is now one of the largest employers in the North Shuswap. This year also marked the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Talking Rock golf course. Talking Rock and the Quaaout Lodge has evolved into a destination resort that is a huge benefit to the area. We still have some challenges to overcome. We have some of the most onerous, costly, and time consuming regulations anywhere in the province. Anyone who has built anywhere in the North Shuswap will be able to relate to just how dif-
ficult it is to do anything. These regulations were imposed by our local government. My personal opinion is the driving force behind this was that we were a largely unregulated area that experienced a lot of development pressure in the early 2000’s. A lot of change occurred in a short period of time and development controls were put in place in a very reactive way. Now is the time to swing the pendulum back to a more reasonable approach. The Chamber has been working with local government over the last year to try to do just that. So far, we have a sympathetic audience but little has been accomplished. One of the biggest changes I have seen in the last 10 years is how the local road system has degraded. It wouldn’t be fair not to recognize the efforts of Director Morgan and MLA Kyllo that saw the Squilax Anglemont Road resurfaced from Squilax to Anglemont. From all of us, thank you very much. We also have a new bridge at the Adams River that replaced the old timber Howe Truss. Where we have a problem is no one is looking after vegetation, road grading, and routine ditching on side roads. It’s sad to see the new shoulders that came with the paving project overgrown and starting to degrade. Hopefully this will be addressed when the maintenance contract is renewed. Despite the challenges, we chose to live in the North Shuswap because (to borrow a phrase from the old provincial advertising campaign) “this is the best place on earth!”

Public Hearing Set for Magna Bay Application The Columbia Shuswap Regional District Board gave second reading at its October 19 meeting to amendments to the Official Community Plan and Magna Bay Zoning for an application for property located at 6929 SquilaxAnglemont Road and 2556 McClaskey Road, Magna Bay. A public hearing is set for November 9 at 6:00 pm at Scotch Creek Fire Hall. A summary prepared by Dan Passmore, CSRD Senior Planner, states the applicant has applied to re-designate and rezone the subject properties, to allow a subdivision of the land, and to permit the use of proposed Lot 1 to be changed to construct a "Toy Storage" facility as well as to allow outdoor storage of recreational vehicles and boats and trailers. Proposed Lot 2 would be rezoned to IG Industrial Gravel Processing to allow an expansion of the existing gravel extraction operation. Magna Bay Zoning Bylaw No. 800 currently has no zone where a toy storage facility is permitted and no adequate definition for the permitted use. To accomplish this, staff are proposing a new CDF 2 Comprehensive Development 2 zone. The Board gave the bylaws first reading at the June 15, 2017 regular meeting and directed staff to utilize the simple consultation process. The development notice was posted in accordance

Health Fair Showcases Local Services By Jo Anne Malpass A wide variety of services were showcased at the second annual North Shuswap Health Fair October 4 at Scotch Creek Fire Hall. North Shuswap Health Centre Society and Interior Health sponsored the event, saying it not only provides an opportunity for area residents to see what services are available and how to access them, but also for those offering the service to network with each other. A representative from Interior Health helped people sign up for MyHealthPortal, which allows patients to see the results of medical tests and their appointment record on-line. This, easy to sign up for program, shows results from the past five years. It does not include tests done by LifeLabs, which also had a representative helping people sign up for myehealth, which provides those results on-line. For anyone who missed taking advantage of the registration offered at the Health Fair, the brochures for both are available at the NS
Health Centre or see websites www.interiorhealth.ca/ MyHealthPortal and www.myehealth.ca Information for those who need help to stay in their homes was available from both Better at Home, which helps seniors with a range of non-medical home support services, and Interior Health’s Home & Community Care. Chase Home Health Office provides home care registered nurses and long-term care assessors. It is designed to help people remain independent as long as possible, through at home medical and personal care support. It also works with individuals to develop a care plan, which may include starting community care services or coordinating access to a publicly subsidized housing or residential setting. The number for the Chase office is 250-679-1416. There were about 20 other services represented including Mobile Foot Reflexology, Shuswap Hospice Society, Essential Wellness (Continued on page 18)

By Jan Penner The Liam Smith Memorial, located at North Shuswap School, is complete. The structure is a collaborative effort between students, Liam’s family and Dylan Warkentin and his crew. Dylan did the design and build, using a metal framework filled with concrete. Liam’s classmates had written messages to Liam as part of their healing process. These rocks were placed into wet cement and in a final step were sealed to preserve the thoughts and wishes they convey. A huge thank you goes out to Dylan (and Graham Kalynchuk) for their efforts to complete this project. Dylan’s donated time and expertise made the project possible. The memorial is a lovely means to remember and acknowledge a vibrant individual, who touched us all in the short time we had with him.

“911 … What is your emergency?” By Karen Boulter When an emergency situation occurs, there are many steps we can follow to ensure help arrives quickly and patients can be given the care they require. Planning ahead for these times can help to speed up this process. When an accident occurs or someone you know is hurt or in pain, seconds count. Calling 911 will start the response process. Once BC Ambulance Services has been dispatched by the 911 operator, they will next dispatch our North Shuswap First Responders. NSFR has an average response time of less than ten minutes. The more responders we have

living in each of our small communities, the closer we are to the patient’s location, the sooner we are able to arrive on scene. NSFR is still looking for new recruits in the St Ives, Anglemont, Magna Bay, Celista, Scotch Creek and Lee Creek communities. If for some reason, the NSFR are not dispatched to your location, we would definitely like to hear from you, so that we are able to rectify this matter for future calls. Before you ever need to call for an ambulance, please also consider the visibility and accessibility to your property. Is your green with white reflective address

sign mounted and highly visible, during the daytime as well as at night? Have the bushes, shrubs and trees been pruned to ensure the address is easily viewed? Will the NSFR and ambulance need to access your location by entering through a locked or coded security gate? If so, and if someone else at your location is able to help, please ask this friend, neighbour or family member to make sure the gate is opened for the responders upon arrival. Directing us to the location within the gated community is also very helpful. Another very useful way to help can be completed in advance. If someone in your household is taking a number of medications, please consider making a list of these medications (and updating it with each change) including dosage and frequency. Then photocopy the list and keep it with a copy of the person’s medical care card (tiny type on a folded piece of paper), attached to the fridge or in a small canister inside your freezer, or other readily available location. If NSFR should ever have to respond to your home, a copy of this list can easily be attached to the patient’s file. This information is extremely important. The copied list saves a great deal of time, so that rather than searching for all the medica-
tion containers and filling in paper work, responders may focus their attention on the patient’s immediate care. Thank you to all of you who continue to support our efforts and help facilitate our work at the scene.

Talking Rock Golf Pro Named Professional of the Year By Jo Anne Malpass Adam Blair of Talking Rock Golf Course, was named the 2017 Dick Munn Golf Professional of the Year at the Professional Golfer’s Association of BC awards celebration in October. Blair has been the Director of Golf at Talking Rock since 2011. Before that, he was with the Salmon Arm Golf Club from 2000 to 2010, as its head golf professional from 2006 to 2010. It was a true honor to win the award, said Blair. “What makes it most special is that the award is nominated by my peers in the golf industry. That they felt I was deserving of this, is truly humbling. I am so fortunate to be able to work with an amazing team at Talking Rock and Quaaout Lodge, this award is really just an added bonus and I share it with all of them" This award is one of the highest honours the Association can bestow on a working
club professional whose total contributions to the game best exemplify the complete PGA of BC Professional. The Dick Munn Golf Professional of the Year demonstrates outstanding qualities of leadership, demonstrates strong moral character, maintains a substantial record of service to the Association and the game of golf and is well-regarded as a role model to other PGA of BC Golf Professionals. The Professional Golfers' Association of British Columbia is an association comprised of nearly 700 golf professionals who work at and operate golf courses, driving ranges and other facilities across the province. Its mandate is to promote and advance the game of golf, serving the needs of both its membership and the golf public through professional and junior golf development programs and high-calibre competitive events.

Fire News Anglemont By Mike Sanderson On October 12, nine members from Anglemont fire department participated in the junior fire chief for the day at North Shuswap Elementary. Ella Kendall had the opportunity to be the junior Fire Chief and did a great job by directing the firefighters and their fire trucks into position as well as directing the firefighters to do their tasks. A special thanks to Darleen Taylor and Melanie Murphy, who took the time to organize this special and educational event with the school and the firefighters. On October 24, Celista fire department hosted a vehicle and dumpster fire attack scenario. Some of the Anglemont members attended, in preparation for
their live burn training course at Shuswap Regional Training Center. Thank you for inviting us. Now it's that time year that many of us are starting to burn wood for heat in our homes, be sure that your chimneys or stovepipes, fireplaces or woodburning stoves are maintained properly and in good condition for this purpose. Many of us are also burning yard debris to clean up the fuel load around our homes to fire smart our communities. For information on the size of fires and the way to go about it, contact the Kamloops Fire Center and they will inform you on the procedures and permits, if needed in our area, and be sure not to burn under powerlines.

Scotch Creek/Lee Creek By Fire Chief Mike Engholm Now that the cooler, wetter weather has arrived, the open burn ban has been rescinded, and property owners are allowed to burn class A materials only, in piles about 2M X 2M. Class A is described as non-painted untreated wood, like branches, sticks, logs, stumps. Prohibited materials in a burn pile are: garbage, tires, plastics, painted wood, pressure treated wood, plywood, OSB board, furniture, tar roofing products,
house demolition waste, etc. I have had a few phone calls inquiring about backyard cleanup burn piles, and to notify the fire dept. when the burning will take place. Thank you to those callers for giving us a heads up, it is much appreciated. Training is going well, and since the last SC/LC FD news, we sent three firefighters to Interior Live Fire, one member to Incident Safety Officer course, one member to Hazmat Awareness (Continued on page 23)

(Continued from page 22)
course, two firefighters attended an Emergency Vehicle Driving course, and one member going to Apparatus Pump Operator course. In house training has been spent preparing our firefighters to attend these valuable courses. Callouts since the last Fire News ranged from false alarms, burn complaints, to three calls during the day of the intense wind storm for wires down and trees on the power lines. If you see a power line down or a tree on it, please stay back a minimum of 10 meters. The downed power lines are very dangerous because you don’t know if the line is energized. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Doug Kilback from the Scotch Creek Bottle Depot, and the North Shuswap Lions Club for the financial donations and for the additional help
toward our Community Halloween Party. I would also like to thank all the volunteers who helped out during this great event. It would not be possible without your assistance. During the weekend that we change our clocks back, please remember to change your batteries in your smoke detectors and also vacuum out the dust build up inside the unit. Practice your fire escape plan with your whole family. Another fire safety tip would be to sweep out the chimney to prevent a dangerous level of creosote building up that could cause a chimney fire, and always burn dry wood. If you would like more information on fire safety or our fire dept., call 250320-0768. Our practices are every Tuesday 7:00 – 9:00 PM, and you are always welcome to meet the team and observe our practices.

Notch Hill Cemetery Remembers its Veterans' By Louise Barber Notch Hill Cemetery is located at 2350 Hilltop Road in Sorrento/Notch Hill. The cemetery has a unique and interesting history. The land for the cemetery was part of pioneer homesteader, John McIntyre’s quarter section. In the 1890’s, Mr. McIntyre donated approximately an acre and half for use as a cemetery. The earliest recorded burial is 1899. The cemetery is still in use for burials and cremations and has undergone extensive restoration in the last 8 years. Among the approximately 200 burials and cremations there are 18 Veterans. These individuals were survivors of WW I, WW II and post wartime service. They served Canada overseas and on the home front in all branches of the military: Army, Navy, Air Force and Merchant Navy. After their discharge from service these veterans settled in various communities across Canada and lived
-
out their lives in many varied occupations. Some of these included railroad engineers, postmasters, truck drivers, farmers, store merchants, tradesmen, loggers and businessmen. They led fulfilling lives in post war years and after contributing to their communities and raising families, they passed away and are buried in Notch Hill Cemetery. These Veterans include 4 WW I, 12 WW II and 2 post war . One serviceman served in both WW I and WW II. Each Veteran’s grave is marked with a Royal Canadian Legion poppy wreath, and most graves have a Veterans Affairs standard headstone. Posted at the main entrance gate to the cemetery, is John McCrae’s poem, ‘In Flanders Fields’ as well as an honour list of all 18 Veterans buried in Notch Hill Cemetery. Their service to Canada and contribution to world peace will never be forgotten.

Hyper WHAT? John Seymour, Lakeside Technical Solutions
Loop.. Hyperloop to be exact. This is a technology that I have been keeping an eye on for some time. Hyperloop is the name given to the technology currently being developed for high speed trains. First conceived back in 2012 by no other than Elon Musk of Tesla Motors, the idea has recently received more attention as a potentially viable mode of mass transit. The system would consist of a large steel tube either above or below ground with much of the air sucked out to create a partial vacuum. The tube would be built between point A and point B (e.g. between two cities) and would contain pods that would transport people or goods at very high speed between those two points. By very high speed, we are talking about speeds up to 700+ MPH, as fast as or faster than a modern commercial jet. The idea of the Hyperloop trains would not be to replace air travel but rather to augment for shorter distances where air travel is not as efficient. For example, the distance between LA and San Francisco is about 380 miles. It takes about 6 hrs to drive and just over an hour to fly. A commercial airplane barely gets up to speed in that distance and burns a lot of fuel in the process. Hyperloop trains could reach maximum speeds in less time and traverse that distance much quicker (in about 30 minutes), more efficiently, cheaper for passengers and without crowding the
skies or adding to the pollution problem. Today there are more than 400 flights between these two cities per week so a train like this makes a lot of sense. The basic idea of the Hyperloop ‘train’ is to reduce friction as much as possible. Lowering the pressure inside the tube greatly reduces air resistance and the pods themselves would ride on a cushion of air, much like a hovercraft or an air hockey puck. Acceleration and deceleration would be controlled by linear electric induction motors along the track. Since there is very little friction, the pods will be “cruising” under no power for much of the time hence lowering the energy used, the operational costs and of course, the amount of pollution generated. The whole idea sounds a little fantastical but there are already prototypes built and being tested. Word is that we will see these trains in operation by 2020. Proposed routes include LA to San Francisco, Helsinki to Stockholm, Toronto to Montreal, Miami to Orlando, Dallas to Houston, Edinburgh to London and Calgary to Edmonton to name but a few. It will be very interesting to see if the 2020 prediction happens or not but I believe we will see this technology sooner rather than later and definitely in our lifetime. Can’t wait to take a ride. Questions or comments? Feel free to get in touch. (250)955-0816 johnseymour@Lakesidetech.ca www.lakesidetech.ca

Lions Club News By Gord Shabbits and Geri Sandor The North Shuswap Lions have a very busy Fall lined up! Lots of events are scheduled such as our regular meat draw and 50/50 at the Copper Island Pub, Saturdays from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. The Cabaret and Silent Auction is scheduled for November 4, at the North Shuswap Community Centre (Celista Hall). The Lions appreciate the generous donations from businesses and individuals for the Silent Auction. This is your opportunity to purchase your dream items at terrific value and support the Youth Fund. The Fogduckers will be there for your entertainment and an awesome menu to satisfy your appetite. It takes a community to raise a child The Lions are having an Open House November 23 at 7 pm at Celista Hall. Come and see what we’re about. The coffee and cookies are on! Our participation in the Hot School Lunch Program is still going strong. Upcoming events: • Children’s Christmas Party, December 10th, 1:30 at the Celista Hall • Christmas Parade, Friday, December 8th at 5 pm. The Parade starts at Imai Road and ends at SuperValu. Hope to see you there. The Lions’ success is dependant on community involvement and we want to let the North Shuswap community know how much we appreciate all your support. Don’t forget, if you have children involved in activities out of the community, the Lions can provide gas vouchers. All you need is to apply. Families have found this to be valuable in the past years.
President’s Notes: At a recent meeting, club members were treated to a visit from two students from North Shuswap Elementary School Jamie Bentley and Matty Sangster. The girls attended the meeting with Tracy Bentley to present the Lions with a copy of the 2016/2017 North Shuswap School Annual. Last Spring the club donated funds to help with the publishing costs. Members commented on the outstanding quality of the Annual and congratulated the girls and the other senior students for a job well done.

Health Centre Society www.NSHealthCentre.ca
shuswaplakeoutfitters.ca
Kris Jensen, Director I agreed to write this month’s article in order to provide to the reader the point of view of a new member of the board. I joined the board in June of this year and at every meeting, I am always surprised to learn how much the Society has accomplished since its inception 6 years ago. The Society operates a medical clinic in Scotch Creek in the shopping center across from Super Valu which provides a variety of medical services including: Liquid Nitrogen treatments, Flu Shots, Blood Collection Services, Holter Monitor, Nurse Practitioner, Foot Care Nurse, Foot Detox Clinic, Dental Hygienist, and Osteopath. The main goal is to attract a full-time doctor and as a result of the hard working efforts of some board members and staff, a number of doctors have been contacted and we may soon be successful. The Society owns the clinic premises free and clear and over time has made a number of improvements to make the clinic a better experience for patients and a better functioning work place for doctors. The improvements include: new paint and reorganization of clinic for improved work flow & efficiency. Renovations to improve patient waiting room including recovering chairs with a medical grade fabric and a new sliding door to meet with wheelchair and ambulance stretchers guidelines. A private reception area, which allows for patients to have conversations with the Medi-
cal Office Assistant and for Doctors and staff to speak privately as well. Not only has the Society accomplished all of this without going into debt but actually has approximately $90,000 in the bank as a result of the incredible generosity of our Shuswap community and the hard work of the board and staff in obtaining grants. This accomplishment of which we are very proud, is an indication of the extent to which the community supports us in our goal to retain a full-time doctor and maintain a medical clinic in the North Shuswap. The day to day operations require a skilled person to not only handle the daily needs of the clinic but also to understand the intricacies of negotiating the bureaucracy of Interior Health and its specific rules and procedures involving providing rural health services. Essentially, the Society derives an income when a Doctor provides a medical service to a patient and either bills MSP directly and pays a percentage to the Society or we bill MSP and pay a set fee to the Doctor. Not only does the Society provide the clinic premises but also provides a medical office assistant. Over the years, we have also obtained medical supplies and equipment for the clinic such as: fetal doppler, baby scale & measure mat, blood pressure cuffs, liquid nitrogen system, examination tables, and a slit lamp, major upgrades to computer equipment and the addition of a washer & dryer for cleaning clinic linens on site. At present, the income is (Continued on page 31)
NOVEMBER 2017
THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER
(Continued from page 30)
not enough to operate the clinic, pay everyday expenses, pay our staff, and pay our Executive Director (who at present works part time). Consequently, we will have to, over time, consume our savings. Please remember that when a doctor is here, use their services. The more people use the service, the better it is for our bottom line. Some of the savings are needed for work to the roof, and a retention bonus or moving bonus of $15,000.00 for a doctor that signs a 3 year contract. Additionally, we will need to pay a further $15,000 for the recruitment firm who helps us obtain a doctor. For those of you who missed the opportunity at the
recent NS Health Fair, to register for MyHealthPortal (Interior Health results and appointment record) or myEHealth (LifeLabs results) there are information brochures at the NS clinic. Alternatively, info is available at www.interiorhealth.ca/ MyHealthPortal and www.myehealth.ca. Please take this opportunity to aid in the responsibility for your health by registering for these free services. There are many reasons we choose to either live and vacation in the North Shuswap and having a medical clinic adds to this experience in a positive way and whatever support we receive is most appreciated.

The steady march of technology toward new and better is a constant issue to keep up with.
Some technology stays with us, while others never develop or fade away. QR codes are one that never developed in Real Estate like it has in other industries. 20 years ago we absolutely needed a fax at home and at the office. I got rid of my home fax a few years ago and wonder why I still have an office fax. My first cell phone with a camera was a wonder to behold. Today the phone cameras are multiple times better than my first digital camera. Apps on smart phones can simplify my work day and save time. All I need to do is remember the phone has apps and to use them. 5 years ago drones were the talk of the day. Today they are those annoying things best left to shotgun practice.
A

A couple of weeks ago a snow line appeared on the mountains across the lake to the south. Watching the line progress down the slope seems to be a topic of conversation and depending on who you’re talking with I’ve heard it means we’ll have snow at lake level between 4 and 6 weeks. We all know, it’ll be here soon enough. It’s time to plan and maybe add a few indoor activities. In addition to Nia Dance, Zumba and Bingo, which were mentioned in last month’s article, there are a number of other activities and service groups that are available to participate in. On Wednesday mornings at 10:00 am, there’s a very active arts and needlecraft group that meets. What a great way to meet, socialize, and maybe learn a new stitch or craft. You might even consider making a Christmas present or two through the process. All are welcome. New this month will be Kangaroo Jumps, an exercise program starting on Wednesday, November 15th at 5:00 pm. Taryn Bell will instruct this innovative 1hour class, which uses ‘rebound boots’ as part of low impact program. All age groups are welcome and boots will be supplied. The month of November will be free of charge, so why not try something new. I may even see some of you
there, as Kangaroo Jumps is apparently easy on the body’s joints. The Lions Club is one of the most active service clubs on the North Shuswap and they have been meeting at the Hall for years. They are truly a great group of people, which has the welfare of our community at heart. If you’re interested in getting involved, new cubs will be welcomed. To learn more, Ted Danyluk’s contact info is on the Hall’s events calendar. The Lions will be hosting a Cabaret and Silent Auction on Saturday, November 4th at 5:30 pm. Coffee House has started again meeting on the 3rd Saturday of the month at 7:30 pm. A wonderful diversion from Saturday night hockey disappointment! Part of the funds raised through Coffee House is used to teach young kids to play a musical instrument. Finally, don’t forget to mark your calendars because the Farmer’s Market Craft Fair returns on Saturday, December 2nd. Other Hall regulars include the Historical Society and the First Responders. Check out the event calendar at www.northshuswapcommunityhall.ca and we’ll see you there because there’s always something happening at the Hall!

Emotional abuse is elusive. Unlike physical abuse, the people doing it and receiving it may not even know it’s happening. It can be more harmful than physical abuse because it can undermine what we think about ourselves. It can cripple all we are meant to be as we allow something untrue to define us. Emotional abuse can happen between parent and child, husband and wife, among relatives and between friends. Obvious verbal abuse, such as threats, criticizing, blaming, name-calling, ordering, and raging, are easy to recognize. But emotional abuse is often more subtle. Here are some of the signs, compiled by various psychologists, to help you understand emotional abuse. Treating you as an adversary: The abuser will argue against anything you say, challenging your perceptions, opinions, and thoughts. The abuser doesn’t listen or volunteer thoughts or feelings, but treats you as an adversary, in effect saying “No” to everything, so a constructive conversation is impossible. Shutting you down: This is another tactic used to abort conversation. The abuser may switch topics, accuse you, or use words that in effect say, “Shut Up.” Discounting & Belittling: This is verbal abuse that minimizes or trivializes your feelings, thoughts, or experiences. It’s a way of saying that your feelings don’t matter or are wrong. Undermining & Interrupting: These words are meant to undermine your selfesteem and confidence, such as, “You don’t know what you’re talking about,” finishing your sentences, or speak-
ing on your behalf without your permission. “Crazy-Making”: An abuser may deny that agreements or promises were made, or that a conversation or other events took place, including prior abuse. The abuser instead may express affection or make declarations of love and caring. This is crazy-making and manipulative behavior, which leads you to gradually doubt your own memory, perceptions, and experience. Crowding and Imposition: The abuser is a constant intrusion into your life, and even the lives of others around you, wanting complete access, always needing you to be near, or readily available to him or her. Confronting Abuse It’s important to understand that what the abuser really wants is to control you and avoid meaningful conversation. Abuse is used as a tactic to manipulate and have power over you. Therefore your first priority is to take care of yourself. That will mean learning how to set and maintain appropriate boundaries. You cannot change the behavior of someone who is unwilling to change, but sometimes setting healthy boundaries with appropriate consequences can level the playing field and lead to constructive dialogue. If you keep setting boundaries, the abuser will get the message that manipulation and abuse won’t be effective. The relationship may or may not change for the better, or deeper issues may surface. Either way, you’re rebuilding your self-confidence and selfesteem, and are learning important skills about setting boundaries. Abuse can slowly chip away at self-esteem. Con-

fronting an abuser, especially in a longterm relationship, can be challenging. It often takes the support and validation of a group, therapist, or counselor to be able to consistently stand-up to abuse. Once you take back your power and regain your self-esteem, you won’t allow someone to abuse you. If the abuse stops, a relationship may improve, but for real, positive change, both of you must be willing to risk change. If you have a topic you would like to see covered, or a question you’d like answered, let me know, and I’ll do my best to address it!

I would like to send my heartiest thanks to some caring people from the North Shuswap. On October 4 of this week I had a fairly serious bicycle accident on the Squilax Anglemont Highway just outside the Ross Creek store. Within a very short time Judy Weller of the Ross Creek store and an unknown fire fighter came to my assistance and offered caring and compassionate first aid for some considerable time before the arrival of the first responders. First responders, Dave Drinkl and Holly Drinkle together with others whose names I did not get provided further excellent care until the arrival of police and ambulance, which took me to the Salmon Arm hospital. Both the technical care and the emotional support provided by all of these people was superb and was much appreciated in a difficult time. It is heartwarming to know that the North Shuswap has a culture of caring as demonstrated in this case. Many thanks to all.

A BIG THANK YOU FROM PARADISE PIZZA It is late fall, the dust of summer has long settled, and as we look back on it all, what a whirlwind it has been! We want to take this opportunity to thank all our customers for their support and patience during our first year of business here in the beautiful North Shuswap. We have met so many amazing folks and made some great friends along the way. A very special thank you to: Evelyn Kury, Silvia Ceirpka, and the returning staff of Yummies Take Out, who helped tremendously to make our
transition possible. Without you we would have been “Lost at Sea”, instead of “Found in Paradise”. Ben Watson, our artistic genius who created the Paradise Pizza brand, and to whom we are forever grateful. And Barry Warkentin, who was instrumental in helping us get settled in our new home, and offered a helping hand whenever we needed it. We will be closing Nov 6th for the winter, and are scheduled to re-open in early April 2018. See you soon! Randy and Lisa Clarke

Students and Grads of Salmon Arm Secondary Star in Romeo and Juliet Submitted by Shuswap Theatre On Friday, November 3rd, Shuswap Theatre opens its 2017/18 season with William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”. Here is a moving story of ancient feud and youthful love that has captivated audiences for hundreds of years. Still, the play remains astonishingly modern, as the cast is discovering under the expert direction of professional director Liz Hobbs. Playing the star-crossed lovers are Ali Balloun (Juliet Capulet) and Alex Delaney (Romeo Montague). Ali, a recent grad of Salmon Arm Secondary, where she performed in “Big Rock Candy Mountain” last year, studies at Okanagan College. This is Alex’s second season with Shuswap Theatre – he appeared in “Stereotype High” last season. He is enrolled at Salmon Arm Secondary. On the Montague side, Romeo is supported by Mercutio (Uther Radcliffe), Benvolio (Bethany Riley) andBalthazar (Nicole Congdon). Standing for the Capulets are Tybalt (Ashley Honaizer), Gregory (Jaci Metivier) and Sampson (Brook Derksen). Caught in the middle are Paris (Carter Robert), who is intended for Juliet, and his page (Claire Hall). Of these actors, Bethany is home schooled, Nicole, Ashley, Carter and Claire are at Salmon Arm Secondary, and Brook is a SAS grad. Many of the more senior
members of the company are well known to Shuswap Theatre audiences. Playing Juliet’s Nurse is Julia Body, a teacher of English and a member of the company both as a actor and a director for more than twenty five years. Kim MacMillan, director of last year’s hit “Mary Poppins” and recently elected President of Shuswap Theatre plays Friar Laurence, who secretly performs the marriage of Romeo and Juliet. Heading up the feuding families are Frank Manning (Capulet), Pamela Dettwiler (Lady Capulet), Peter Molnar (Montague), and Marcia Beckner (Lady Montague). Between them, these four actors have more than 105 years of experience with Shuswap Theatre. Rounding out the cast are Randy Brogden, Sarah Johnston, Griffin Webber and Hamilton McClymont. “Romeo and Juliet” is sponsored by Proair Heating Cooling, Sterling Land Wealth Advisory Group of RBC, Brook Downs Vennard LLP and Armstrong Regional Cooperative. Supporting Shuswap Theatre’s 2017/18 season are Shuswap Community Foundation, SASCU Credit Union, the City of Salmon Arm and artsVest™ British Columbia (operated by Business for the Arts, the Government of Canada, and the Government of British Columbia). For more information, Hamilton McClymont hammcc3@gmail.com , or shuswaptheatre.com

The Unknown Soldier He was such a young man scarcely old enough for war. His uniform was hardly worn. A freshman in the Corps. I wanted so, to ask his name and where did he come from. Why he'd become a soldier in this life of shell and bomb. I'd ask him if he understood why there's a war for every age. Can't there be peace in someone's time to clean our history's page? I'd tell him how I've been to war three times, so he'd be free. How it pains to see him by my side. There's no hope left in me! But the orders were for silence. The enemy was near. We sat and held our rifles. We couldn't share our fear. And suddenly the hell began. We answered to the call. I prayed to God as we went forth that none of us would fall. We fought 'til it was over then laboured to our place. I searched among the others for that one familiar face. He lay there were I left him. No time to fire a shell. His thoughts he'd never share with me. His name he'd never tell. For him the war was over as I held him to my breast I cried for all the children I'd lie, this day to rest. Oh, God, I am so tired and I cannot reason why I live, to fight another day to watch these youngsters die. How can I face tomorrow? My heart is filled with shame. Today we lost another son and I never knew his name. June Welter

Surprise the family for Christmas and prepare them for spring!
Naturalist News By Claudette Carlsen With fall upon us, we are not doing too much in the outdoors now. The Salmon run is over, Eagles are plentiful, and the crows and starlings are gathering. I counted 50 Eagles on the way to Kamloops in October – and tons of Seagulls. Jack goes fishing every day on the Thompson in Chase and has lots of Catch and Release Trout because he says they are also spawning. Our next big outing will be the Christmas Bird Count in December and we are planning that now, so we should have news for De-
cember. I am reading the book “A Town called Chase” by Joyce Dunn and find it interesting and an easy read – I am learning things I didn’t know about our Natives and their history here in the Shuswap. This fall I had fun watching the House Finches and House Sparrows eating our sunflowers while they were still on the stalks, hanging upside down to get at the seeds, now it’s back to the Feeding stations again. Till next month, good birding. Claudette Carlsen 679-8148

School News By Jan Penner The Fish are coming! Our hallway will once again host a tank that is home to salmon. If you are at the school in these early days, you will note the cover is on. Shhh! The eggs are working towards hatching and they like it quiet. We will update next month to let you know who the stewards will be this year. The Terry Fox run had all students present participating. The goal of $1 per student was met and surpassed, with a total of just over $190 donated for cancer research. We were pleased and proud to be able to carry on with Terry’s mission. Volleyball season is underway. The girls team is comprised of 6, 7 and 8’s, while the boys team is made up of 5, 6 and 7’s. Mr. Iversen and Mr. Schmidt are working with the teams to develop skills and team strategies. It is anticipated that games will be played with King’s Christian, Shuswap Middle and Falkland. Go Cougars! A group of 4 student and Mr. Schmidt joined others from our district to attend Me to We in Vancouver. All enjoyed the experience and listened to some very inspiring messages. We look forward to seeing them come up with ideas and implement them to help oth-
ers in our community, district, country and in less fortunate countries around the world. Members of the Anglemont Fire Department visited our school during Fire Safety Week. After a brief time in classrooms to share the message “Two ways out”, classes went out to check the fire trucks and equipment the firefighters had brought for demonstrations. Being able to shoot water from the hose was a high point for many of the students. Congratulations to Fire Chief of the Day, Ella. She and her class really enjoyed their pizza lunch. Thanks to all the firefighters who came to visit us and to all the firefighters in the North Shuswap. Without the Anglemont, Celista and Scotch Creek/Lee Creek departments, our fire safety knowledge would be sadly lacking. Thanks for all you do. Please make note, with the time change, children are going to bus stops in the dark. Be extra cautious especially in the early mornings. Another gentle reminder to slow down in the school zone. The speed limit is 30 kph, not the 50 and 60 coming towards the school and definitely not the excess speeds many do when passing our schoolyard. Have a great November.
An Inspirational Journey Part LXIV By Jan Penner Heather Alison had a little less pep than usual when we spoke recently, but she was still willing to share what she has been up to. Things have been pretty quiet this month for Heather. The tumor in her brain continues to grow and if she moves around too much, she gets dizzy. She is back on steroids which she is not happy about, but this has lessened the headaches she was experiencing. She is scheduled for more tests including blood work, a head CT and another CT on her lungs. Early November her plans focused
on a trip to Harrison to spend 2 days with her family. It is/was a celebration of her son’s birthday and the recent birth of her new grandson. Heather was very happy to be seeing her family and to be having the opportunity to rest and relax in such a lovely setting. Other than her short trip and visits to healthcare specialists, Heather is ready to hunker down for the winter. Her canning and preserving is almost all done so she can sit back and enjoy her cozy home. Thoughts and prayers Heather, we keep you there.

DID YOU KNOW ….. When should you wear your poppy?
C E E

Most people will start to wear the poppies on October 31, as this is 11 days before Remembrance Day. Many believe that to honour those affected by war, a poppy should be worn 11 days in advance of the Remembrance Day.

OBITUARY LES ALEXANDER BENTLEY
June 15, 1956 October 15, 2017 It is with great sadness that the family of Les Alexander Bentley announce his passing at the age of 61 on Sunday October 15, 2017. A celebration of life was held October 28, 2017 at the North Shuswap Community Hall. Les will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 39 ½ years Cynthia, His
children Jason (Jennifer) of Scotch Creek, BC. Jory (Jennifer) of Celista, BC. Jolene of Celista, BC. John(Ashleigh) of Celista, BC. His very dear to his heart granddaughters Shayla (12) & Chloe (4 weeks). His brother Ernie (Sharon) of Enderby, BC. His Mother in law Hazel (Willie) Baerg of Kamloops, BC. Brother in law Steve (Kymme) Bath of Kamloops, BC. His best friend of 54 years Alex Cyr of Chase, BC Bandmates Glenn Hobbs & Roy Doiron. Numerous nieces, nephews and cousins & many friends. Les was predeceased by his brother Steve (1980) & Mother Betty (2001) Les was born in Kamloops, BC. June 15, 1956 & brought home to Celista where he lived his entire life. Les & Cynthia were married on April 15, 1978 & settled in Celista where they raised their 4 children. Les worked for many years as a Faller & Skidder operator. Les suffered a serious back injury in 1987 which resulted in him having to leave the bush he loved so much. He then owned and operated Celista Insulation & later went into Custom sawmilling with his
Clip & Save
cousin Dwayn on Evans Road in Celista. His health continued to decline forcing him into an early retirement in 2007 where he enjoyed puttering on the farm. Les was a very gifted musician & played lead guitar with numerous bands over the years. The Crowfoot Mountain Boys, Grizzly Mountain Boys followed by the well loved “Fogduckers” a local favourite. His other passion was fishing and he loved nothing better than to spend time out on the boat trolling for Rainbows. “Festus” as he was lovingly known had a great sense of humour. He was a very witty intelligent man gifted with a photographic memory. He could pretty much do anything he set his mind to and was always willing to lend a hand. He had been an active part of the community in the past having served on both the APC & OCP. His greatest love by far was his family and Sunday dinners. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the North Shuswap Community Hall or to the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.
