Grant to kick start water treatment By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF
The B.C. government has approved a $50,000 grant for the District of Sicamous to begin the effort to upgrade the community’s water supply.
Bill Bennett, the province’s minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, was in Sicamous Oct. 17 to make the announcement – following through on a commitment made by Premier Christy Clark at the recent Union of BC Munici-
palities convention. “I want you to know… Bill has asked me to make sure we set this right. I know you need that water supply fixed, and we are going to help you do it,” Clark stated in her speech to UBCM delegates.
While in Sicamous, Bennett was escorted by Mayor Darrell Trouton on a tour of the community and areas impacted by the June 23 debris flow in Two Mile. See Money on page 3

Directors dislike boundary changes By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF
Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors are telling Ottawa to leave well enough alone. The board added its voice to the chorus of concern over proposed federal electoral boundary changes. Directors reviewed a Sept. 26 letter from the City of Armstrong to the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia protesting the removal of Falkland from the North-Okanagan Shuswap riding. Area D Falkland-Silver CreekRanchero director René Talbot said not only would the change mean Falkland residents, who

Bennett told the News that the $50,000 is specifically for a pilot project that will “test the technology the District of Sicamous is proposing to use for the drinking water treatment project that will come next,” a treatment facility expected to cost $4.5 million. “It is preliminary but our staff has worked with the district staff and we think it’s pretty close, a pretty reliable number, so we’re currently looking for the $4.5 million to do it,” said Bennett. “I don’t know where we’re going to get all the money from yet, but it’s my top priority in the province and I need to find a way to make it happen. I just don’t know where all the money is going to come from yet.” Explaining what the pilot project will involve, District of Sicamous works services manager Grady MacDonald said a unit containing water filtration membranes, such as those that would be used in the proposed treatment facility, would be plugged into the existing water system. “We will run our raw water through it for a minimum of three months,” says MacDon-

There’s at least half a dozen different types of suppliers of this type of technology out there now. We all share the same information that we get from the tests.” MacDonald said he is confident in the type of filtration being used, but adds testing is still required. “I’m not going to say it’s mandatory, but it’s highly recommended. I don’t know of too many municipalities that have proceeded with a filtration plant and not done a pilot test,” MacDonald explained. Trouton says he’s not surprised with the province coming through so soon after the September UBCM convention, where council – accompanied by Shuswap MLA George Abbott –
met with Bennett to talk about the district’s need for a solution regarding water treatment. The mayor was surprised, however, that Bennett himself made the trip to Sicamous. He said it gave the minister an opportunity to see firsthand the issues the district is dealing with. This included the silting in the channel, and Trouton expects the formal process to have it dredged will also move forward. Asked about Bennett’s pledge to find the $4.5 million, Trouton says he’s confident the province will come to the table on this too. “And that the premier, Christy Clark made the announcement – once they make these big announcements like this, it’s pretty hard for them not to come forward with it,” said Trouton.

Calling all spooksters By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF
Tomorrow night when darkness falls, the grounds of R.J. Haney Heritage Village will be filled with ghouls, goblins and other spooky characters at the 18th annual Spooktacular. This popular scare fest runs Saturday and Sunday night with musical preludes beginning at 5 p.m. As dusk settles over the village, strange shadows will emerge, revealing ghostly figures and the terrifying thrills of Halloween. Small children are welcome at the “Story Book Path” sponsored by the Linda Howarth Memorial Preschool. The Colouring Room will provide sanctuary from the scary happenings outdoors and an opportunity for children to have their faces painted, colour
a picture or do a special Haney Halloween craft. Visit the church for “Legends from the Crypt” and hear local author Kay McCracken read her new book, A Spooktacular Halloween. Other local storytellers will add their own spooky tone to the scare fest. Take a walk through the cemetery, visit the mystical fortune-teller and consult with the menacing mad scientist to get a jolt in his electric chair. Amble down the village road and visit the Haney’s haunted house. But don’t linger too long – the house is the gateway to the Spook Trail where a frightening journey through the forest echoes with chilling screams and sinister ghouls lie in wait. Admission is $6. Gates open at 4:45
p.m. Ghouls and ghosts under 16 must be accompanied by an adult over 21. There are other events to celebrate Halloween as well: Dress up your favourite little ghosts and goblins and visit the Mall at Piccadilly from 11 a.m to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27 for their 10th annual Children’s Halloween Costume Party. There will be entertainment, a costume contest, crafts station, pumpkin scavenger hunt and more for children under 12 years of age. Visit the mall’s own pumpkin patch from Oct. 23 to 31 to vote for your favourite pumpkin carved by mall merchants and be entered to win mall “pumpkin bucks.” The mall’s annual Halloween Treat Trail will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday,

OPINION Style attracts, substance essential Recently, many eyes were on the presidential debates in the United States as Democratic President Barack Obama squared off against Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Obama being far and away a much better speaker, with the ability to transfix viewers in a way Romney cannot hope to equal, the consensus among pundits was that Obama had the most to lose from making a significant mistake, but Romney had the greater challenge in endearing himself to voters — especially the 47 per cent he may have disparaged in May at a small fundraiser. Whether the debates did anything to move the polling numbers (Obama led entering the debate in Denver) remains to seen. Meanwhile, in Canada, many eyes have been on Justin Trudeau as he this week announced he will be seeking to lead the Liberal party, which is tied so deeply to his father, Pierre Trudeau. The name alone is enough to elevate Trudeau’s leadership bid far beyond that of previous aspirants. But, compared to the brief and utterly woeful tenures of Stéphane Dion and Michael Igantieff, the possibility of a young, handsome and articulate Trudeau reaching down to rescue the once-proud party only adds to the pizazz factor his bid creates. Yes, politics is much more than style over substance (though some elections have been won via the former, not the latter) and Trudeau’s celebrity will only carry him so far. Speeches laden with clever lines will need to be augmented with policy beliefs and his vision of where Canada is going in the next decade. That challenge is also Obama’s. As fine an orator as he is, voters battered by a dismal economy during the president’s first term know full well pretty words in a splendid speech mean nothing the morning after, when jobs remain scarce and the future looks as bleak as a winter landscape on the Prairies. -Kamloops This Week

A new take on wilderness living In the summer of 1988, Chris Czajkowski walked into the wilderness of British Columbia’s Central Coast Mountains to build a homestead ... and a life. For close to 30 years, Czajkowski lived at Nuk Tessli (which means ‘west wind’ in the Carrier language) were she operated a small eco-tourism business and, inspired by the landscape that surrounded her, wrote nine books. Her most recent book Ginty’s Ghost: A Wilderness Dweller’s Dream (Harbour Publishing) chronicles the many challenges of building and settling into a new home, located on Ginty Creek. “Ginty’s Ghost is a departure from my other books,” says Czajkowski. “Instead of being about Nuk Tessli, it is about my new home at Ginty Creek. “Only two people lived there before me, Ginty Paul and her father. Ginty was a renowned eccentric. The book is partly about my efforts to establish myself on her (long abandoned) property, and partly about
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray Ginty herself told in letters she wrote and stories from people who knew her.” Accounts of Ginty Paul vary. Some locals remember her affectionately as “a cheerful woman, always laughing” while others thought her open-door policy towards her animals a bit odd – chickens would sleep with her, and the bedroom doubled as a maternity ward for dogs, cats, goats and sheep. Still others feared her volatile temper and outright refused to step inside her house – for fear of being served “chicken poop tea.” “She was a peculiar character,” writes Czajkowski. “She allowed goats in her house and kept a jar of pick-
led mice on the shelf. She was just as likely to offer tips on English etiquette as she was to lambaste politicians.” In 2006, after nearly three decades of wilderness dwelling, far from neighbours and roads, with the nearest community accessible only via float plane or days of hiking, Czajkowski writes how she decided to purchase “a derelict homestead an hour’s drive south of Anahim Lake. Although the property was mostly swamp and packrat-infested buildings, the asking price was within my budget … and the location affords beautiful views and abundant wildlife.” Each chapter intersperses Czajkowski’s own experiences building a new cabin on the site, despite the fact that she has a broken leg, with those of Ginty Paul. At times there are certain similarities. “Keeping my fingers crossed, I cut a hole for the window overlooking the river. I have always had the feeling, when I slice through a cabin wall with
a chain saw, that the whole building will fall apart … light poured in. So did the wind … the thermometer on the post outside my door registered minus 18 degrees Celsius on the morning that I cut a hole in the wall to fit in another window. There were the usual fiddles and hassles, but the job went reasonably smoothly and during the night I was pleased to see light in the room. Without street lights to distort one’s vision, a rural night is never truly dark … ” Right from the beginning of the book it becomes clear that Czajkowski and Ginty have more than just a piece of land in common. They share a spirit of independence and resourcefulness, as well as an unwavering desire for a solitary life immersed in the spectacular landscapes of the Chilcotin. Czajkowski is touring the province and will appear at the SAGA Public Art Gallery Friday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m., to present a slide show and talk about her new book.

MAIL BAG Trade deal has huge implications When I read last week’s issue of Shuswap Market on the coming protest of the oil pipelines, I started to wonder just how many citizens in our country are aware of the looming FIPA deal with China, which is supposed
to be signed Nov. 1. There has been so little information on this extremely important topic, I suggest people start to read up on this treaty and its signing over of our sovereignty. If this deal goes through ac-
cording to experts on investment trade deals we could have no choice on these pipelines, it would be a done deal. Dave Wrench

Will Rogers never met anyone like Harper American humorist Will Rogers said, “I never met a man I didn’t like.” Obviously he never met a man like Stephen Harper. Mr. Rogers also said, “A remark gener-
ally hurts in proportion to its truth.” Prime Minister Harper must double over in agony whenever someone calls him self-righteous (40 per cent of votes), dishonest (F-35s affair), arro-
gant (proroguing parliament), manipulative (environment end-run), secretive (foreign takeovers), naïve (China’s Huawei), controlling (bureaucrats gagged), antagonistic, (dismissive attitude), dictato-
rial (omnibus bills), underhanded (attack ads), un-Canadian (Parliamentary behaviour) and hypocritical (shortchanging veterans). Lloyd Atkins
Bill increases transparency for labour groups
FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes Bill C-377 is a Private Members Bill introduced by my Conservative colleague Russ Hiebert, MP for South Surrey/White Rock/Cloverdale, requiring public financial disclosure for labour organizations. Labour organizations play a valuable role in Canadian society, promoting workplace health and safety,
and good compensation for Canadian workers. Our Conservative Government supports the valuable role labour organizations perform by providing several hundred million dollars in benefits through the tax system, annually. The premise behind Bill C-377 is that the public has a right to know how the substantial benefits it provides to labour organizations are being used. Public disclosure will create greater support for the valuable work that labour organizations do as the public learns how the benefits they provide are being used. Public disclosure by organizations receiving substantial public
benefits is not a new concept. In fact, Canadian charities have been publicly reporting their spending for the last 35 years. And, as with charities, any cost to government or unions of these new reporting requirements will be kept minimal through the use of a standardized system of electronic filing and posting. A good example is the recent Elections Canada investigation into illegal union contributions to the NDP totalling more than $340,000. It is important for union brotherhood members to know where their dues are going and that all
transactions are legal. Full disclosure will ensure that the membership will have an open, transparent and accountable reporting system for regulators and membership to scrutinize. Public disclosure is important to the Government of Canada as we seek to make certain taxpayer dollars and tax filings are accurate. Your government has provided this scrutiny for charities, First Nations and government programs. This bill will require the unions open their accounts to public and membership review.

Meet Greg Kyllo – Twin Anchors Marine
G
reg Kyllo’s story is one that reminds us how hard work, vision and perseverance are the essential ingredients of success.Greg has a lot of pressure on his shoulders – as the President of both Twin Anchors Marine and TA Structures, he is the largest private sector employer in Sicamous, B.C., a community that was recently rocked by destructive floods. It’s no coincidence that Greg is in the business of building houseboats; Sicamous is known as the “houseboat capital of Canada.” As a small community where the population triples every summer, tourism industries like houseboat rentals are essential to the livelihood of every family in Sicamous. Founded in 1964 by Burt and Trudy Hannah, Twin Anchors Marine was the first rental houseboat company in western Canada. Greg’s stepfather purchased the company in 1977 and now Greg runs the manufacturing side with his wife Georgina, while his brother Todd and wife Jolayna look after the rentals. It was Greg’s vision that “catapulted Twin Anchors from one-off builders to a whole production line” in 1993. Using the drafting skills he learned in high school, Greg designed the cruise craft that put the company on the international map. With a houseboat that had a stylish exterior and a hot tub, Twin Anchors was making millions of dollars, primarily from U.S. markets. But Greg was never content to rest on his laurels. Twin Anchors was capturing an increasing share of a market that was shrinking. With 80 per cent of their business going on across the border, and shipping costs prohibiting them from selling houseboats outside of a 1500-kilometre radius, Greg feared that Twin Anchors was too exposed to the U.S. market. So he started think-
ing about other ways his business could thrive. One night while sharing a couple beers aboard a Twin Anchors houseboat, his friend asked why the trailers he lived in on oil and gas drilling sites couldn’t be as luxurious as one of Twin Anchor’s houseboats. That got Greg thinking about the business that would become TA Structures. TA Structures built its first worker accommodation model in 2005 and since then business has been growing, despite the tough times that lay ahead. After the 2008 financial crisis, “the bottom fell out of both the marine and oil and gas sector,” Greg says. As luxury spending tightened and natural resource extraction slowed, Greg saw sales for both businesses slump. In January 2009, Greg employed 140 production workers. By July, he was down to 25. In typical fashion, Greg persevered. Focusing on the opportunities available to TA Structures, Greg kept both companies afloat, and today he once again employs 110 production workers. 2012 has been TA Structures’ best year yet and Greg projects they’ll do even better in 2013. “A lot of our production today is the result of good fiscal policy, especially with the mining sector,” Greg says, “Because of all the red tape government has cut, our sales have really picked up.” With the BC Jobs Plan’s commitment to 17 new and expanded mines by 2015, and its ambitious strategy to develop a liquefied natural gas industry that could generate a trillion dollars of economic activity in B.C. over the next 30 years, TA Structures should be able to grow and provide even more jobs in Sicamous soon. However, because of the highly-publicized floods that rocked Sicamous last June, Greg’s houseboat sales are at an all time low, and the
community has suffered because of the loss off tourism revenue. “The news media really sensa-d tionalized it,” Greg says, “making it look so bad was really what did the most damage.” Neverr one to be dissuaded, Greg’s companies sand-bagged their marina facilities and with a lot longg hours and hard work by their dedicated employ-ees, they were able to maintain operations. Greg indicated that the marine sector iss h showing signs of recovery in the U.S., with n strong interest expressed for fleet expansion in 2013 by two of the 18 companies that theyy currently build for. Reduced houseboat replace-ment levels in commercial rental fleets the pastt few years will result in big orders for Twin An-d chors in the years ahead. Until then, Greg and his community can rely on the good jobs thatt TA Structures provides. “We have good quality products and we treatt people properly so we have a good reputation,”” Greg says, “with any luck we will be hiring even more people again soon.” Greg has recently become involved in Sicamous politics, acting as the Deputy Mayor, Chair of the Finance Committee and sitting on the Economic Development Committee. He is currently working with local educational institutes to develop a skills training program that would help people in his community get a job that would allow them to stay close to home. “With the type of work we do, young people would really get a chance to learn lots of different skills,” Greg says proudly, “Welding, construction, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, you name it … we do a little bit of everything.” How Greg’s Story Connects with the BC Jobs Plan: Enabling job creation is paramount to economic prosperity. Twin Anchors Marine and
Greg Kyllo’s company, Twin Anchors Marine, is a major employer in Sicamous. TA Structures is the largest private-sector employer in Sicamous thanks to Greg’s perseverance through market fluctuations and a recent natural disaster. When BC businesses diversify to earn new market share, they are better positioned to survive and take advantage of market changes. There’s a ripple effect across all BC’s sectors when government cuts red tape. Greg attributes a boom in TA Structures trailer sales to recent changes in mining regulations. Development of the liquefied natural gas industry in BC will help create more jobs in the Sicamous area. Content supplied by Ministry of Jobs and skills training and responsible for labour.

Show your lake stewardship Anyone with a green thumb, a love for nature or just a natural curiosity may wish to take part in a Shuswap Trail Alliance stewardship event set for Oct. 27. The alliance has designed a trail event to help participants learn more about native wetland species and the invasive species trying to call the Shuswap home. The day begins with a pancake breakfast at 9 a.m. and is followed by an informal invasive species talk at 10. Attendees will discover the difference between a yellow flag iris and a cattail, and receive some training on effective removal
and disposal of invasive plants, from a wetland and forest environment. Following the talk participants are invited to slosh around, dig, pull, drag and haul as much yellow flag iris as they can out of Little White Lake. This is just the start of dealing with the iris, that is spreading to other parts of the White Lake ecosystem. British Columbia Parks has expressed concern with the iris spreading into the park on Big White Lake and is co-hosting the White Lake Iris Pull. There will be prizes for guests, warming stations, a BC Parks biologist on location to
assist and lots of food. Shovels and tools will be provided by the trail alliance and gloves will be on hand for everyone, compliments of BC Parks. Anyone planning to attend the event is asked to wear old clothes as they are bound to get dirty. It is also recommended that hip waders, warm socks and rubber boots are brought along. If you are a snorkler or scuba diver and would like to do some underwater work, there is a patch of water lilies that need to be dug out. Take your canoe or kayak along if you’d like to take some time out to paddle. There
will also be a couple of boats available on site. Join the community in this effort to clean up the Shuswap wetland. White Lake is one of the treasures of the Shuswap, and the alliance appreciates help in keeping it clean and functioning properly. The workshop and iris pull will be taking place out of Massey’s White Lake yard at 3163 White Lake Rd. Parking is available on the road above the house, as well as in the John Evdokimoff Bike Park, which is about a 30-step walk down to the area.

Taking the bikes to Crowfoot SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman
tion hunting trail that was then cleared by gold miners during the 1860s as an early route to Seymour Arm and the Big Bend. At times, more than 4,000 sheep grazed in this subalpine meadow during the summers, with many of these herds coming from the Barnhartvale ranching family, the Cordoniers. Amazingly, despite many decades of grazing, the native flora species of sedges and forbs are still present according to provincial range agrologist, Herald Hetherington. However, the distribution of the species has been impacted and in areas frequented by cattle, such as those adjacent to various springs, soil “hummocking” occurs due to the pounding of hooves. More natural conditions may slowly be returning, as due to market conditions the range atop Crowfoot has been vacant for four years. As we approached the old lookout station on our bikes, we were amused by the highway sign that indicated the need for a sharp turn to the left. And no wonder, as the lookout is perched on the edge of a high cliff, that at least one vehicle missed as we could see the wreckage below. Apparently, there was also a sledder who did not make the turn, however he managed to survive the fall and
was rescued the following day. Adjacent to the lookout, which is packed full of firewood to serve as an emergency shelter in the winter for the snowmobilers, is a solar-powered communication tower. This is one of the forest service’s many repeater stations that help provide the radio frequencies used on the logging roads. Crowfoot Mountain is listed in the Shuswap Trail Guide; nevertheless it would be a gruelling, uninspiring slog up the 14-kilometrelong old sheep trail now frequented by ATVs and motorbikes to the meadows. It seems the best way to experience the mountain is with mountain bikes, but only high-clearance 4x4s can make it up the road. The mountain experiences the most use
during the winter season, when there is an average of 10 snowmobiles per day and up to 50 on long weekends. The Crowfoot Snowmobile Club manages an impressive hut that serves as an emergency shelter and a clubhouse during the winter season and they put a new metal roof on the old fire lookout 10 years ago.

It has been 38 years since my last trip up to the top of Crowfoot Mountain, when I went up on horseback during a trail ride with friends. After numerous reports about the damage from motorized recreational vehicles that is occurring to the sub-alpine meadows and wetlands, I was eager to see it firsthand. Thanks to the extended warm, dry weather we drove the rough road to the summit on October 10th and enjoyed a delightful mountain bike ride to the lookout and back. It did not take long before we saw evidence of mud-bogging, as nearly every bog and wetland is covered in tracks and mud that will likely be there for many decades, if not forever. Due to the lack of provincial regulations that prohibit the use of motorized vehicles in high elevations except in the Okanagan and parts of the Shuswap where there is virtually no enforcement, the disgraceful off-road vehicle “wreckreation”
continues unabated in accessible alpine areas throughout the Shuswap and the province. And B.C. remains the only jurisdiction in North America without licensing and registration for off-road vehicles. It took us only about an hour-and-a-half to cycle on the rocky road to the old fire lookout atop Mount Mobley. The Dominion Forest Service built this lookout in 1928 and like the other lookouts, there was a telephone line attached to trees and log-tripods in the alpine that ran down the mountain to provide for communication. District Forest Ranger, Charlie Mobley supervised the construction of the lookout, the trail and the phone line and then named the peak after himself. Despite all the efforts, the lookout was not in service long, as by 1930, the provincial government had taken over the forest service and many of the Dominion fire lookouts were shut down, including Mt. Mobley. Crowfoot Mountain is far from pristine. The rich meadows have long been used for grazing, first by sheep and more recently by cattle and most of the balsam trees burned in the 1967 Mag fire. The first sheep were herded to the Crowfoot pasture in 1926 on what was likely a First Na-

Nurse practitioners meet needs Health care: Province expands the scope of duties for the highlytrained nurses. By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF
Nurse practitioners in B.C. will be adding to their list of duties, thanks to new regulations. Working in collaboration with doctors and other health-care providers, nurse practitioners (NPs) will have the ability to admit and discharge patients from health-care facilities. The regulations are expected to help enhance health services and meet patient need by easing congestion and reducing workloads, especially for rural regions. The majority of NPs in B.C. have the education and competencies
required to admit and discharge, but did not have the ability legislated. Linda Sawchenko, an Interior Health regional practice leader, said NPs have integrated into health care beginning in 2005, with 32 currently practising in the province. “They have been providing much-needed assistance,” says Sawchenko, noting there is a Nurse practitioner in Enderby and one in Chase. “When the funding was first announced, we looked at communities that most needed additional primary health care services.” Sicamous is also hoping to receive funding for a nurse practitioner in the near future. Sawchenko says the health authority is checking priorities again and funding becomes available to hire more nurse practitioners over the new three years. She says other “good news work” is being done with regulations
Public Notice of Intent Road Name Changes Shuswap Lake Estates The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure gives notice pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Transportation Act that an application has been made to change the name of Horner Place within the Highlands Development to Panoramic Way to better reflect its location. In addition, as a result of highway improvements, Golf Course Drive will be extended to include Fairway Hills Road and portions of Centennial Drive and Forest Drive. Anyone wanting to provide comments of support or opposition to the proposed road name changes should do so in writing no later than November 16, 2012, to the Salmon Arm Area Office at PO Box 100, 16th Street NE, Suite 850C, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4S4. For more information please contact District Development Technician Elizabeth Keam at 250 833-7404 or at Elizabeth.Keam@gov.bc.ca
to allow nurse practitioners to work to their full scope of practice. “Our focus has been on placing them in primary care community settings and we also have some done home visits,” says Sawchenko, noting decisions about where the NPs will be located will be made in the next couple of months. “The nurse practitioner in Chase has become one of the most constant health-care providers in that community, so we know they do provide a much-needed service.” NPs meet many
health-care needs of the community, increasing access to quality primary and community health care. NPs provide services from a holistic nursing perspective, integrating elements such as diagnosing, prescribing, ordering diagnostic tests for treating most common medical conditions for patients throughout the lifespan. Nurse practitioners also work collaboratively in a broad variety of settings including acute care, residential care, mental health and community practice with physicians.

CSRD miffed about bus cutbacks Greyhound: Directors to send letter outlining concerns for rural areas. By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF
Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors have asked administration to write a letter to the B.C. Passenger Transportation Board expressing extreme disappointment over cuts to service. Electoral area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin said this is not the first time Greyhound has reduced service. Martin told directors at last week’s board meeting in Salmon Arm that she recalls a time when Area E residents could flag a bus on the highway and it would stop for passengers, allowing them to pay on the bus or purchase their tickets at the next station. As well, she said, buses would stop along the highway to let passengers off near their homes. Now, she noted, passengers have to go to a depot to buy their tickets, which is difficult for elderly people or those without cars. And, while she realizes the buses are sometimes running almost empty, she be-
lieves scheduling the trips better would draw more people to the service.
tor Larry Morgan concurred. “They’re operating a private business. Are

Area D FalklandSilver Creek-Ranchero director RenĂŠ Talbot said Greyhound buses go through Falkland at 3:30 in the morning and return at 6 p.m. “But you can’t buy a ticket in Falkland and though they stop, they won’t even pick up freight,â€? he complained. Salmon Arm director Debbie Cannon said she finds it hard to tell a business they should have more stops or more services if they can’t make it financially. Area F North Shuswap direc-

he asked. “CN back in the ’70s couldn’t make it without subsidies and they gradually phased out services.� Martin suggested Greyhound should have sought community input before reducing service. As well, she suggested, the company has a monopoly and if they were intent on reducing service, they should lose the monopoly. Directors agreed that a letter protesting the cuts should be sent to B.C. Passenger

DriveABLE arrives in city The B.C. Government is opening nine more locations for DriveABLE, including one in Salmon Arm, to help reduce travel for those drivers, including seniors, who are referred to functional cognitive assessment. The number of locations has grown to 28 from 15 in 2011, with new locations just added in Campbell River, Duncan, Penticton, Port Alberni, Powell River, Salmon Arm, Terrace, Vernon and
Williams Lake. The 28 communities that now have DriveABLE locations are: Abbotsford, Burnaby, Campbell River, Chilliwack, Coquitlam, Courtenay, Cranbrook, Dawson Creek, Duncan, Kamloops, Kelowna, Langford, Nanaimo, Nelson, North Vancouver, Penticton, Port Alberni, Powell River, Prince George, Richmond, Salmon Arm, Sechelt, Surrey, Terrace, Vancouver, Vernon, Victo-
ria and Williams Lake. The majority of referrals to DriveABLE by the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles (OSMV) stem from reports from medical practitioners who are concerned about an individual’s abilities related to safe driving. In 2011, OSMV reviewed 140,000 driver medical examination reports, requiring about 2,700 or two per cent of those drivers to undertake the assessment.
Government covers the cost of both the inoffice and on-road assessments for all drivers it refers. “While a very small number of seniors actually require the driveable assessment, we will continue to look for ways to improve service, expand locations and provide information to families when a cognitive assessment is required,” said Shirley Bond, Minister of Justice and Attorney General.

The RCMP would like to remind all residents that 911 emergency calls cannot be received via a text message. There is not a universal text number for 911 so if you are to text it, it is not going to go anywhere. There is also no way for the caller to verify whether or not their text message has been received at a 911 centre and it is dangerous to assume that help is on the way when no voice contact has been made with an operator to confirm this.

CHASE Museum saved by village purchase
MARKET NEWS FILE PHOTO
The Chase museum will soon be under new ownership, but don’t worry, it will still be business as usual. Village of Chase Council recently agreed to purchase the museum, with an estimated value of $450,000, for a total of $50,000. The $50,000 would pay off all of the remaining debt incurred during the restoration of the museum following the 2011 fire, leaving only day-to-day costs. “This is a fraction of the costs that were incurred to do the restoration,” says Joni Heinrich, Chase’s chief administrative officer, in an email. While some of the funds came from the building insurance, a large portion was collected through continuous fundraising by museum volunteers. The Chase and District Museum and Archives Society plans to lease the property back from the village and operate the museum as it normally would. The society would be held responsible for paying all bills such as electricity, gas, telephone and other costs associated with operating the museum. However, it will now be the village’s responsibility to fix a leaky roof or mow the lawn. The village’s decision to accept the society’s offer may have ultimately saved the museum that the community has worked so hard to rebuild. In a letter to the village on Oct. 4, Victor Pages, society president, stated that the society did not believe that the museum would be able to keep its doors open long-term, unless the village stepped in to help them out.

In an attempt to educate some of the local children on fire safety and the importance of knowing “two ways out,” the department hosted two events focusing on the students at Haldane Elementary. Chase Fire Chief, Brent Chamberlain
explains that in years past the hall would host only their annual Fire Chief For a Day event. This gave the local firefighters a chance to bring two children from each class from kindergarten to Grade 3. The event had proven to be such a success that the local firefighters have since added a second event which focuses on students in grades four to seven. In both cases the stu-
dents were picked up at the school in the fire and rescue trucks and then brought to the hall where they were able to try on gear, meet some of the local volunteer firefighters and get a tour of the hall. Some of the Haldane students were able to watch a video on fire safety, as well as learn how to run a hose and how a firefighter properly enters into a confined space
during a fire. Wide-eyed students watched closely as they were shown just how high the ladder truck could go, as well as what the many tools inside the fire trucks were used for. The students finished off their day by eating a lunch with their local firefighters before being brought back to their classes, once again by fire truck.

Heat cracks team’s losing streak The local Junior Hockey team, The Heat, met the Eagles in Sicamous on Friday, Oct. 19. The bad part of the weekend came early as Sicamous scored in the first period at 14:07 on the power play. It was the first goal in a hat trick evening for Cameron Berry. Less than a minute later Brendan Devries struck for his first in a four-goal evening. At game’s end, the Eagles came out with eight goals and secured a shutout for goalie Jack Surgenor. The game ended on an ugly note with Jacob Mattes being flattened in his crease
with 20 seconds left in the game. Suspensions arose with the Heat getting the worst of it. On Saturday, Oct. 20, Heat fans saw their team take to home ice against the second-year Summerland Steam. The good side of the team showed up on this evening with the Heat taking a 2 to 1 victory. The Steam opened the scoring in the second on a power-play after a scoreless first period. The Heat came out in the third hot-totrot and put that energy to good use, scoring twice. Shelby Kostyshen scored early
with Nicholas Fidanza getting the lone assist. Later in the third, Captain Kurtis Johnson put the biscuit in the basket assisted by Kostyshen and Fidanza. Kostyshen was awarded the first star and Fidanza third. After a 10-game losing streak, the 265 fans in attendance had something to cheer about and hope for the future. The Heat faced the Kelowna Chiefs on Tuesday, Oct. 23, and were defeated 5-1. The boys will be back in town for a Friday night tilt with rivals the Kamloops Storm on Friday, Oct. 26 and then they travel to Sicamous on Saturday.

Greyhound changes may affect Chase riders Chase Greyhound passengers may be seeing some changes soon as the company has proposed route cuts between the Alberta border, Highway #1 and Vancouver. Tera Lee Larson, Chase Greyhound manager, says if it happens, it will most likely affect
their business as well as Chase residents. “Seniors who don’t drive or can’t drive, use the bus to get into Kamloops,” explains Larson, who could think of a few regulars who use the Greyhound as a means to see their doctors. “No decision as been
made yet,” says Larson, “but I suspect if a route does get cut, it will probably be the morning one into Kamloops.” The Chase branch has already seen route cuts in the past, the most recent loss being the morning route to Salmon Arm. Any concerns about
these possible changes can be emailed to ptbord@gov.bc.ca. faxed to 250-953-3788 or mailed to B.C. Passenger Transportation Board, Box 9850, Station Provincial Government, Victoria, B.C., V8W 9T5. Quote application #305-12/ routes A2(b).

a couple tips to help encourage healthy food choices in the grocery store. Look beyond the flashy claims on the product label. Some food packages contain misleading claims about the product. For instance, a beverage package may use big colourful fonts to draw attention to its high vitamin and mineral content; however, it may not be as obvious that the beverage also contains lots of sugar because the food manufacturer does not draw attention to this information. Check the nutrition facts table, especially the percent daily value and the ingredient list for a more accurate description of what a product actually contains. Bring two grocery lists to the store – one for yourself and one for your child. Make sure the lists include healthy choices. Children can help grocery shop by looking for items on their list. A list will help them stay focused and they will be less distracted by other products in the grocery store. If children are influenced by labels and placement of less healthy food, divert their
St SW
Children are often the focus of food marketing campaigns. Companies view children as having significant purchasing power because of their influence on parents and caregivers. Many of these campaigns influence children’s food preferences, food choices and the products they request, and the results are not always healthy. Children are often targeted in the grocery store through packaging, labelling, pricing and product placement. Food products use bright colours, characters, shapes, and flavours to grab the attention of children. Manufacturers pay extra to have their product located at eye level, at the end of aisles and at the cashier in the hopes that their attractively packaged products will be noticed by children. Many products marketed to children are high in sugar, fat, and salt. With the increasing rates of childhood obesity in Canada the food preferences and choices of children is a growing concern. Parents can learn to successfully navigate the grocery store and avoid the lure and temptation of less healthy options for children. Here’s

attention back to the items still needed on their grocery list. Make sure your child has eaten something before going to the grocery store with you. If necessary, provide a healthy snack to occupy them while shopping. A hungry shopper, whether a child or adult, is more likely to be tempted by unhealthy foods. So next time you and the kids head to the grocery store, do a little planning. Make some lists and don’t forget to think critically about all those flashy claims right before your eyes.

Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union Obituaries
JONES, ALLEN GLEN September 5, 1942 – October 11, 2012. Allen was born in Stettler, Alberta, but grew up in Calgary. He passed away peacefully with family and friends by his side. He was grateful for the time he spent at home during his illness, from April to Oct 1st, being tended to by his longtime companion and friend, Ruth, with the help of their two dear friends, Liz Rasmuson and Sheila Halvorson. Allen is survived by his companion and best friend, Ruth Keskinen, his daughters, Dana Jones, and Karen (Gerry) Babin, his sisters, Clarice Cardinall of Edmonton, AB, Elaine (Alfons) Schuh, Calgary, AB and Lori (Greg) Saunders of Vernon, BC. Also by his brothers, Bill Jones Anglemont, BC, and Don (Naida) Jones, of Calgary, also, the children and their families of Ruth Keskinen: Stig, Jr. (Paula) Keskinen, Kit (Warren) Hobbs, Lila (Val) Cugini, Rita (Darren) Eley, and their children and grandchildren, all of whom were considered by Allen to be his extended “family”... along with his adopted dog, Tiki. He was predeceased by his mother, Helen, his father, Elmer, sister Linda Jones and Mel (Val) Jones, and Bonnie (wife of Bill Jones). Allen owned his own business, New Home Plans. His house plans appeared monthly in Friday AM. He had a high quality website - newhomeplans. net, and most of his house plans were ordered by U.S. clients. His pride and joy, however, was in designing the Salmon Arm Legion. He was a born artist and painted murals both in the former Salmon Arm Hotel pub and dining room. He also loved doing cartoons and creating crossword puzzles. He was multi-talented and had a brilliant mind. Allen was an active Legion member and volunteer. He enjoyed socializing with fellow Legion members. His main interests were camping, travelling, science, designing homes, art, and watching sports of all kinds. His favorite teams were the Calgary Flames and Calgary Stampeders. Next on his list were the BC Lions and Vancouver Canucks (unless they were playing Calgary). Special thanks to Dr. C.A. Welder who had such a caring attitude; also to the nursing staff at Shuswap Lake Hospital for always going the extra mile. Donations may be sent to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #62. A brief ceremony and light lunch, followed by a celebration of Allen’s life will be held on Saturday Oct 27 at 10 am at the Royal Canadian Legion, Salmon Arm. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Allen’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

Friday, October 26, 2012 Shuswap Market News
Askew’s Uptown wins building award Salmon Arm’s Askew’s Uptown supermarket won a major award at the Re/MAX Thompson Okanagan Commercial Building Awards last week in Kelowna. There were 33 finalists for the awards from Kamloops, Chase, Salmon Arm, Revelstoke, Vernon, Kelowna, Peachland, Summerland, Penticton and Oliver,
with more than 70 nominations. To be eligible, buildings had to be completed between Jan. 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. Askew’s took the retail award. “Commercial buildings are very important in the life of each community, and events like this bring the players and ideas behind these projects out into the
spotlight,” said event organizer Mark MacDonald. The design of Askew’s Uptown store solved the problem of a severely sloping site by placing the store’s service space underground, extending the buildable area to the property line, creating access from a lower level and avoiding costly and unattractive retaining walls.

Promoting Shuswap products MARKET NEWS STAFF
Salmon Arm business organizations have united behind a campaign to promote a variety of community assets and offerings that are distinctly products of the Shuswap. The Product of the Shuswap ad campaign is itself a product of the Salmon Arm Economic Development Society (SAEDS), the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Salmon Arm. “In our vision, a product of the Shuswap could be a person or a project, it could be a service or a business, it could be a community asset or even a physical item that’s grown
or manufactured here in the Shuswap,” said Salmon Arm economic development manager Lana Fitt. “This campaign could be used to market our agricultural products… innovation that’s occurring in our industrial park, our construction industry, tourism experiences or any other areas of our economy.” The first phase of the campaign is designed to showcase local retailers working to meet supply gaps by expanding product lines. “What we’re seeking to do in this campaign is highlight Salmon Arm businesses who are doing great things, and there are a number of them,” said Fitt. “The businesses and people
are a product of the Shuswap and we’re proud to have them as part of our economy and want to recognize them as such, so this whole campaign is wrapped around this product of the Shuswap branding.” Coun. Alan Harrison said he liked that the three organizations are behind the campaign, and that local businesses are working to “fill that gap.” He suggested retailers featured in the campaign may want to mention pricing. “I know that many families are certainly looking for that,” commented Harrison. In response, Fitt explained how, it’s not just about revenue, but also supporting residents in a tough situation.
