The high schoolers partnered with Grade 5 students from Bastion to create the space-themed tunnel, which is designed to combat the problem of offensive graffiti in the tunnel. People interested in the artwork are also invited to shine a flashlight on the paintings, to bring out some special effects in the paint.

Gort’s owner points to peppers

E. coli outbreak: No report released yet from Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

By Martha Wickett

markeT news sTaff

Owners of Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm are feeling slightly hopeful for the first time in a few weeks.

While the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said Tuesday that its report on the E. coli outbreak linked to the cheese will be completed “in the coming weeks,” Gort’s owner Kathy Wikkerink said she understands the red pepper and black pepper goudas

have been implicated.

“But not on whole batches but on random wheels.”

In mid-September, a total of 15 varieties of Gort’s cheese were recalled. Wikkerink said Wednesday that all the cheese is being removed from the premises, a procedure the farm was expecting to finish that day. Although she said they haven’t received any official word yet on when they can resume operations, she’s hopeful it will be soon.

“Our hope is that they will give us a green light to start selling cheese after this is done.”

The farm has been selling only yogurt, milk and meat since shortly after the first recall was announced.

Wikkerink estimates that more than two tons of cheese are being discarded.

“Probably two tons that has not been in circulation, plus what was in circulation.”

She is grateful that Spa Hills Farm

near Falkland has offered to compost it, adding she’s grateful for all the encouragement and help her family has received from the community.

As of Tuesday, 26 cases of E. coli O157:H7 illness linked to the cheese had been reported, 12 in B.C., 10 in Alberta, two in Saskatchewan and one each in Manitoba and Quebec.

Of those, a Vernon woman, Corry Vander Linde, died and all others were reported to have recovered or are recovering.

Malakwa Community Hall condemned

By Lachlan Labere

marKEt NEwS Staff

Bad news from their insurer has put the Malakwa Community Centre Association in the precarious position of having to replace the community hall.

The association’s president, Gord Hynek, says their insurance company will no longer provide liability coverage for public use of the structure for fear the roof might collapse.

The decision by the insurance company stems from an engineering report which came as a result of structural integrity and snow load issues that had gone unaddressed. Now the association is looking at options, including potential grants, which Hynek has found aren’t plentiful.

“There aren’t that many grants for capital projects,” said Hynek.

“It’s easier to get grants for programs and that type of thing. To rebuild something, especially a building, that’s what we’re finding, we’re not having any luck with any of that right now.”

Hynek has been a member of the association for two years and was elected president in May 2013. In that time he’s learned that for the past 10 years at least, there have been issues with the roof leaking in up to 20 different places throughout the building, particularly in the spring when the snow melts.

“Finally it got to the point where we need to do something,” said Hynek, explaining the association decided to contact their insurance company to see if they had any coverage for the roof. He says their response was to send out an engineer to investigate the building.

Prior to this, however, the association brought in a builder to do some preliminary work.

What they found wasn’t reassuring.

“He got a scaffold in and took the soffit off of the ceiling,” said Hynek. “There we could see there’s an obvious dip. Once you see it, you can see it from any angle. It looks like it dips in about eight inches.”

They also found one of the beams that supports the roof to be delaminating. Further investigation found black mould in the insulation, as well as water damage in the drywall in the kitchen/bathroom addition to the hall. On Aug. 16 the association received the engineer’s report, the bad news confirming Hynek’s concerns.

“Due to water accessing the trusses over a long period of time, it has degraded their ability to operate properly and that… the trusses were actually not built to code originally,” said Hynek. “You don’t have to have (building) codes in the Malakwa area… but insurance companies require that structures be built up to codes to handle snow loads. That also came in the report – the structure is no longer able to withstand the snow loads of the area because of the degradation.”

Hynek says the hall was constructed in the early ’80s with volunteer labour, and he is not optimistic the hall can be repaired/retrofitted to meet code. The next step, however, is to take the issue back to the community. The community association’s next meeting is 7 p.m. on Oct. 24 at the community hall (Hynek says they are not con-

n The Malakwa Community Hall has been condemned for public events as it is no longer covered by liability insurance. The local community association is looking at possibly having to replace the facility. cerned about using it as there’s currently no snow). Hynek hopes the community will attend as the association will be looking for input on how to proceed.

Repair or replace One Malakwa resident who is sure to be at the Malakwa Community Centre Association’s Oct. 24 meeting is Duane Milliken, who argues the hall could be rebuilt with volunteer labour if given the chance.

“Malakwa needs a community centre.

It does need it,” said Milliken. “But you don’t have to bulldoze the building and start from scratch with God knows… what it’s going to cost.”

Hynek says the building will not simply be bulldozed, that it houses community services including the

local Internet server and the water supply for the fire department – a complication that needs to be addressed.

In addition, the interior consists of high quality cedar boards that could be reused.

“We’re not looking for a quick, let’s just throw a bunch of wood on it,” said Hynek.

“Now that we have this engineer’s report, no insurance company is going to cover us for a building like that.

Milliken says he learned about the hall being condemned on TV, following the Sept.

28 referendum, where Malakwa residents voted against funding the maintenance and operation of the former elementary school, which currently serves as the Malakwa Community Learning Centre, through taxation (Milliken was an advocate

for the “no” side).

Milliken claims the community association knew the hall could no longer be insured but had not shared that information prior to the referendum.

“There was ample time to announce the building had been condemned at the meeting before the referendum.

And that’s why I feel it was a snowjob,” said Milliken.

Hynek, however, says the engineering report was made public at the community association meeting on Sept.

26, which Milliken did not attend.

“I’ve welcomed him to the next meeting, we would like to hear his input,” said Hynek.

Dr. Megyesi and Dr. Plessis are pleased to inform their patients that they are moving their practices to the new Shuswap Providence Medical Clinic, located at #1100-2991A, 10th Ave. SW (inside Wal-Mart), phone (250) 8323377, effective Nov. 8, 2013.

Patients wishing to remain with Dr. Megyesi and Dr. Plessis will automatically have their charts transferred to the new clinic.

Patients not wishing to have their charts transferred may establish themselves with a new physician and request their records be transferred to their new physician.

If patients have not had an opportunity to transfer their records to another physician

by Nov. 8, 2013, they may request to do so after this date at no extra charge.

We thank you for your patience during this transition and look forward to serving you in our new location.

No longer ignorant about cyber bullies Is the world a safer place for kids since Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd killed herself on Oct. 10, 2012 after posting that heart-wrenching video seen around the world?

No, but we have learned a few things since.

We’ve learned, for example, that the Internet can be a rough, cruel world for kids unless they are taught how to protect themselves and their privacy — and we know that the Internet is a powerful tool for ruining someone’s reputation.

We’ve seen that vulnerable girls and boys are easily exploited online by voyeurs who lure them with false names and post their pictures and videos, sometimes with devastating consequences.

We learned, as well, that rape culture is so deeply ingrained in our society that Canadian university students didn’t see anything wrong with frosh week chants about sex with underage girls until authorities found out and put a stop to it.

Simply put, laws are inadequate for dealing with meanness and stupidity on the web.

But there has been some action, too. B.C.’s ERASE Bullying website, available during the school year, provides resources for families with bullying concerns, and administrators and school counsellors are being trained to identify and support at-risk youth.

The Kids Help Phone received more publicity about its services for kids and School District #43 has a new digital responsibility policy for teachers, students and parents working on the web.

Even workplace bullying has received a higher profile in the year since Todd’s death, with a new Workplace BC website addressing the issue, and the BC Coroner’s Service studied youth suicide this fall and recommended more collaboration and resources.

Will all this talk prevent another Amanda Todd situation from occurring? Maybe not, but we can no longer have ignorance as an excuse.

OpiniOn

a question of feeding the birds

Feeding migratory wild bird populations is a widespread and popular form of human-wildlife interaction.

It is a practice, however, that has also been debated by ornithologists for some time. Proponents believe that feeding wintering birds helps increase survival rates, while others say that it causes birds to become not only dependant on unnaturally supplied food, but also nutritional imbalance because of unnatural food sources. Either way, it is probably better to attract birds naturally by planting and growing native plants in and around your yard. If you plant them, they will come.

If you are going to feed wild birds, do so only when natural food sources are limited. Consult your local bird feed store or the Internet to determine the right type of bird seed for the season and species. Place feeders in protected area, out of the rain, snow and wind, and away from windows.

Ensure that feeders are not also accessible to other species (i.e. cats) by using baffles or other means to prevent access and, if you own

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray a cat, keep it indoors when birds are feeding. Do not throw feed on the ground or on top of the snow, and clean up spilled seeds as often as possible. This will not only reduce risk to birds from predators but also prevent attracting mice and other rodents. Clean feeders regularly with a 10 per cent solution of bleach diluted in water to prevent disease as there is strong evidence to suggest that bird feeders are responsible for the spread of salmonella among birds. And, above all else, if you do start feeding birds in harsh weather or when natural feed is limited, make sure you continue to put feed out on a regular bases until the weather turns milder. Birds using one feeder will be driven away by birds

at another feeder.

Birds require high energy/high fat food sources during cold winter weather to maintain their body fat reserves in order to survive the evenings when temperatures can drop dramatically.

Always adjust the quantity given to the demand and, once you have established a feeding routine, try not to change it as the birds become used to it and tend to time their visits accordingly.

Black sunflower seeds, pinhead oatmeal, soaked sultanas, raisins and currants, mild grated cheese, meal worms, wax worms and seed mixtures (without loose peanuts) are all excellent foods to provide.

Temporary food shortages, however, can occur at any time of the year and if it happens during the breeding season, feeder food can make a major difference to the survival of young.

Birds time their breeding period to exploit the availability of natural foods.

A recent (British) study which focused on the European white-tailed chickadee would seem to indicate that there are a number of benefits to birds which

have been attracted to feeders. The study showed that while birds that had access to feeders laid the same number of eggs as those that had to find all their own food, the feeder birds laid their eggs earlier, giving their young a greater chance to fatten up before other bird families competing for the same food sources.

Their young also grew up stronger and healthier. The study also showed that the feeder-fed birds produced, on average, one more surviving young bird than the birds left on their own. It is likely that these findings would apply to Canadian chickadees and other similar bird species.

We interfere enough with nature by continuously altering natural habitat. So, if you do choose to feed wild birds during the cold winter months, do so because you genuinely want to help the birds survive rather than for your own personal enjoyment. In other words, interfere as little as possible.

VIEW POINT

I want to start a family.

Pellet plan has downsides I know a secret.

Only 35 minutes from Kamloops (aka The Big Smoke) lies a charming village on a pristine lake.

I am fortunate to say that, as of last October, it has become my home and my town.

Over the course of the last eleven months my partner and I have shared this secret with assorted friends and family, and virtually every one of them is making plans to make this their home too.

We’ve met many other

newcomers who believe, as we do – this truly is paradise!

Two nights ago, I attended a town hall meeting here, where the pros and cons of a pellet plant were being discussed.

I regret that, as a newcomer, I believed that I should be there to listen only and so, failed to speak up for my wonderful Village of Chase.

Many good observations were made – the population has been a stable 2,500 for the last

10 years, properties are selling well and, with the exception of train traffic, our air and noise quality are good.

It bothers me tremendously that the proximity of this proposal to our water and our citizens, would place industry and its attendant pollutants, noise, odours and carcinogens just meters from Chase Creek and residential neighbourhoods.

An observation was made during this meeting and was reported in

Don’t open the door to euthanasia The province of Quebec wants to make it legal for a physician to deliberately take the life of his or her patient. Bill 52, to be voted on in the legislature uses deceptive

language “medical aid in dying,” comforting words, but in reality it is euthanasia, the direct killing of patients.

It is a recipe for elder abuse, which is already at an all-time high.

Once death is invited it leaves it’s muddy footprints.

Medical aid in dying is a dangerous door to open.

your newspaper, that the smell of this enterprise is “the smell of money.”

I would suggest that, if that smell is at all similar to the smell of a pulp mill, that we should not be interested at all in selling paradise for a little bag of silver.

South ShuSwap Cedar Centre re-opens

By Cavelle Layes

MARKET NEWS STAff

The welcome mat was out for the whole community as the Cedar Centre celebrated their grand re-opening.

The project was first envisioned by a working group in July 2010.

Shovels went into the ground in April of 2013, and 173 days later the centre is once again fully functional.

The beautifully renovated building was made possible with $400,000 in grants and personal donations, and more than 5,000 hours of volunteer labour.

On Oct. 4 and 5, the community that helped transform their hall came out to celebrate its new life with a number of events to set off the new roster.

The centre has traditionally been used for a long list of events, meetings and more, and the renovations

have only made the facility that much more functional and welcoming.

The centre’s many activities range from golf to pickleball, tennis and karate, as well as a number of other fitness classes.

Crafts are a normal staple in the events line-up as is theatre, snooker, horseshoes and bridge.

The breakfast club will be starting up once again and the potluck dinners are planned.

The centre also hosts a number of special events each year, including their annual Christmas bazaars and kids shopping, pancake breakfasts and, of course, tournaments.

Many of these activities are open to the public, and more information can be found by following the South Shuswap section of the Shuswap Market News, or by checking out the centre’s web-

ENVIRONMENTAL ESTROGENS - “XENOESTROGENS“ We are exposed by estrogens in our environment from the food we eat and chemicals we use.

Xeno - (means “foreign”) estrogens can be either synthetic or natural compounds that imitate estrogen.

Xenoestrogens are found in food additives and ingredients, also in cosmetics, plastics, and insecticides. These substances can increase the estrogen load in the body over time, and are difficult to detoxify through the liver. Most scientists that study xenoestrogens regard them as environmental hazardous with hormone disruptive effects on humans and wildlife. Increased estrogen load from these environmental hormone disrupters are causing an hormonal imbalance in women and men. Some symptoms are irregular menstruation, weight gain, hair loss, depression, fatigue, joint and muscle pain, thyroid dysfunction, to name a few. Xenoestrogens are not biodegradable so, they are stored in our fat cells.

Recognizing the symptoms and risks for colorectal cancer As men and women know full well, cancer does not discriminate. Few and far between are the men and women whose lives have not been touched by cancer in one form or another. Be it a personal battle with the disease or a connection via a friend, family member, coworker, or other acquaintance, nearly everyone can cite someone in their life who has battled a form of cancer.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, among cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, claiming the lives of more than 50,000 men and women in 2007, the most recent year for which statistics are available. In Canada, a country with roughly one-tenth the population of the United States, the Canadian Cancer Society reported that colorectal cancer

was expected to claim the lives of nearly 9,000 Canadians in 2011.

Such figures illustrate the importance men and women must place on educating themselves about colorectal cancer and its symptoms and potential risk factors. First, however, it helps to understand just what colorectal cancer is and

why it is so deadly.

What is colorectal cancer?

Colorectal cancer is cancer that starts in either the colon or the rectum, which make up the large intestine. Often referred to as colon cancer, colorectal cancer can begin anywhere in the large intestine and the majority of colorectal cancers begin as abnormal growths called polyps that develop inside the colon or rectum and become cancers over a long period of time.

Who gets colorectal cancer?

Colorectal cancer does not discriminate. In fact, of the roughly 53,000 cases of colorectal cancers reported to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in 2007, there was a nearly equal split of cases between men and women, with men accounting slightly less than 800 more cases than women over that time.

MV Beattie features new trail MV Beattie Elementary School is the home to a new trail which winds its way through a retention pond converted to mimic a natural wetland.

This project, the result of a partnership between the City of Enderby, School District 83 and the Shuswap Trail Alliance, provides educational and recreational opportunities for the students of MV Beattie while at the same time enhancing connectivity, walkability, and gathering spaces for the broader community.

“MV Beattie Elementary School is already an amazing community asset that we all enjoy,” said Enderby Mayor Howie Cyr. “I’m absolutely thrilled that the city partnered with School District 83 and the Shuswap Trail Alliance to enhance MV Beattie as a space which fosters learning, recreation, and a sense of community.”

The city and school district engaged a landscape architect to develop a concept for the trail and retention pond which integrated connectivity, nature, and beauty. The Shuswap Trail Alliance constructed the multi-use trail and planted vegetation and trees throughout the retention pond.

Principal Denise Brown identified numerous opportunities that the trail and wetland provide for the children of MV Beattie.

“The Shuswap Trail Alliance engaged the Grade 7 class to help out with the plantings and it was a wonderful learning experience for the kids.”

Manage stress naturally improve energy, sleep Better, Reduce Cravings

By Karen Jensen, ND Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess stress overloads our adrenal glands symptoms can include: fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula

Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement.

AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.

Local food is the right choice The average North American meal travels 2,400 km to get from field to plate and contains ingredients from 5 countries in addition to our own – that’s a lot of “food miles” – a term coined in 1994 by Britain’s ‘SUSTAIN’ organization. In the past 20 years in North America, the import and export of food have tripled with agriculture and food now accounting for more than a quarter of the goods transported on our roads. Food is now also the largest component of airfreight, the most polluting form of transportation. What does this mean?

When food is transported lengthy distances, a lot of fossil fuels are burnt, creating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This emits a variety of toxic chemicals that contribute to air pollution, acid rain, and climate change (global warming.) What about the distance local food travels?

Studies have shown that local food distribution systems can reduce environmental impacts significantly, as opposed to conventional truck-delivered food systems which can be 4 to 17 times more damaging to our environment. A study

by Toronto’s Food Share found that a meal produced with ingredients from a local farmers’ market travelled a total of 101km while an average imported meal travelled 5,364km creating 100 times more GHGs than the farmers’ market meal.

Local produce is the freshest produce you can buy.

It is picked when it is fully ripe and delivered to you quicker than produce imported from another province, country, or continent.

Imported produce is picked weeks before it is ripe, and often, the nutrients, taste, texture, and colour have not fully developed, which can result in the produce being gassed

The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; as well as provide vital energy.

to create a pleasing, healthy appearance to the consumer.

Is local produce really more nutritious?

When it comes to fresh food, local is most often a much more nutritious choice.

For example, 24 to 48 hours after harvest, 50%—89% of vitamin C is lost from leafy vegetables. Bagged spinach loses about half its folate and carotenoids after being stored in refrigeration for just four days. Think about the nutrients in produce that is imported from other countries or continents.

Not only can fresh, local produce be more nutritious for us, but also increasing our consumption of fresh produce is always a healthy choice. Studies have shown that increased awareness of regional foods leads to an increased consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables which can lead to a healthier diet, reducing obesity, a

major contributor to Type 2 diabetes and other diseases.

By becoming aware of the food we eat, we eat healthier food and less processed food with added sugar, fat and preservatives. What about taste?

Growers can plant better tasting varieties if their produce doesn’t have to be shipped long distances. When you support local growers, you support diversity.

Eating BC foods also contributes to our food security. The BC Food Systems Network Society defines food security as “A community enjoys food security when all people, at all times, have access to nutritious, safe, personally acceptable and culturally appropriate foods, produced in ways that are environmentally sound and socially just.”

You can contribute to BC’s food security by buying food grown and produced as

close to home as possible.

Throughout history, at times, food delivery has been hampered by natural disasters, weather, ferry strikes and closed borders.

We need to grow a sufficient amount of food in all regions of the province to ensure community food security.

What about food safety?

Food safety is also enhanced when you buy local food because businesses who sell local food are better able to source where that food comes from. Buying direct from farmers and producers or visiting farms and getting to know who is growing your food and how it is grown creates consumer confidence in food safety.

When food safety is an issue in British Columbia, we are alerted in a timely manner, with the issues and progress being more transparent. Let’s eat fresh, eat tasty, and eat healthy! Let’s Get Local!

In today’s fast paced world, a lack of time can feel like a barrier to healthy eating. A busy lifestyle doesn’t mean that nutrition has to fall to the wayside. Here are a few savvy strategies for making wholesome meals on the go that will help you save time while meeting your nutritional goals.

Write a shopping list for the upcoming week to avoid multiple trips to the grocery store. Group items in your grocery list to reflect the store layout such as keeping all produce items together. Consider shopping in the evening when grocery stores tend to be less busy. Frozen vegetables, bagged salads, and whole roasted chickens can be healthy time-savers.

At home, try preparing enough pasta to use in two different dishes. For example, pasta and meat sauce for supper and pasta, fresh cut vegetables, nuts and dressing for the following day’s lunch. Share responsibility for cooking and grocery shopping with family members,

real bowl, and cutlery on the table the night before to speed up your morning routine.

Keep smart snacks like nuts, dried fruit, crackers, nut butters, or any other favorite healthy snacks in your bag or desk to make sure you always have an energy booster.

Try protein-rich foods that pack a punch for lunch such as hummus, hard-boiled eggs, cheese cubes, tuna salad, diced chicken or ham. Keep the fridge stocked with plenty of grab-and-go veggies like sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, and carrot sticks for snacking.

SUCC ESS STORIES 2013 Brushstrokes Signs & Awnings Small businesses can give back too

When it comes to philanthropy, size doesn’t matter.

So if you’ve recently joined the ranks of small-business owner, or you’re thinking about setting up shop, there’s something pretty important that you likely haven’t thought about factoring into your budget: corporate social responsibility (CSR). This buzzword has received lots of attention, in part because Industry Canada promotes CSR programs as a way to

make companies “more innovative, productive and competitive.”

Both entrepreneurship and CSR are central to the three tycoons behind Spin Master Inc., the successful children’s toy and entertainment company.

They’ve teamed up with the Canadian Youth Business Foundation (a non-profit that offers financial support, mentoring and expert advice to budding entrepreneurs ages of 18 and 39) to

DeMille’s Farm Market

One of our friendly workers here at DeMille’s.

DeMille’s Farm Market is a third generation family farm.

With roots in California farming (both vegetable and dairy) the family moved to the Salmon Arm valley in 1970.

In Salmon Arm, Rodger DeMille discovered an oasis filled with the promise of nature’s bounty. A humble beginning included 10 rows of sweet corn, a roadside stand and an illegal sign - it was a hit! Year two saw expansion into 20 rows of corn, and a small variety of vegetables...the rest is history.

Today, DeMille’s is home to a 5000sq ft retail market and over 200 acres of farmland on the Trans-Canada Highway and prides itself on being Salmon Arm’s “original farmers market”.

Our famous sweet corn is well known throughout BC and Western Canada plus we grown a variety of vegetables right out the back door. We work with dozens of local BC farmers and retailers to bring you the best quality and to support agriculture and business within BC. We know the owners personally, and with deliveries every day you know you are getting the freshest products available.

Our knowledgeable staff is exceptional – we offer personalized service, special requests are welcomed! Whether you are shopping for everyday meals, canning, freezing or juicing, we know our produce and are always willing to help. We’ll do whatever it takes to make DeMille’s Farm Market the best shopping experience in town!

create the Spin Master Innovation Fund, a program that helps hopeful businesspeople turn their big ideas into reality.

Although CSR is still seen as something that multibillion-dollar organizations open their pockets for, it can include anything a business – local or global, small or large – can do to give back to and better their employees and communities.“For small businesses and startups, giving back to the com-

munity or a particular charity may be difficult due to the shortage of funds, but it is possible to still participate in charitable giving,” says entrepreneur Wael Badawy, the President and Founder of Calgary-based IntelliView Technologies, and a CYBF mentor to aspiring moguls. Other ways corporations can implement CSR programs include offering materials or services, sending experts to offer time and skill, and assisting with fundraising. If you’re ready to get involved, take a page out of communication giant TELUS’ book – in 2012, in addition to their monetary donations, the company connected their employees with charities in need of assistance, and supports non-profits like The Canadian Youth Business Foundation to help young entrepreneurs succeed in business, including volunteering their time for oneon-one business mentoring.

This in turn helps create even more socially responsible small businesses. www.newscanada.com

Riley, Jodie, Jamie, Tom and Lew. Tom started his first sign business, City Signs, in Quesnel in ‘86 after returning from playing hockey in Germany. He was also coaching Jr. hockey in Quesnel at the time and that is what brought Tom & Jodie to Salmon Arm in 1988. Tom was hired to coach the Jr. A hockey team, then knowqn as the Salmon Arm Tigers. He oached hyockey in the morning and hand lettered logging trucks at Hunterline Trucking in the afternoon. A lot has chanced in the sign business and in Salmon Arm since then!

Lew and his dad owned/operated Glen Signs in Quesnel for a decade before he joined Brushstrokes in 1989. Tom & Lew go way back to playing WHL hockey together for the Seattle Breakers in the ‘80’s.

The three things you must do before starting your own business

(NC) Got an awesome idea for a cool new service or oneof-a-kind product, and truly believe it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread? If you’re wondering how to take it from floating thought bubble to market, you’re not alone. If you decide to join the ranks of small-business owners, yours will become one of more than one million small businesses in Canada, according to Statistics Canada. While putting your passion out there and taking a risk investing in yourself seems like some pretty scary stuff, it shouldn’t deter you from opening your own shop. Sure, starting a business isn’t a piece of cake, but it’s a lot more doable than most of us realize, and there are reliable resources out there to help.If you’re considering a change of career and are ready to

Quick tips to set up a home office

L to R: Patti & Lei-Anne.

(NC) Many workplaces are opting out of the traditional space in lieu of remote, homebased offices. There are many reasons for this, but some employers look at it as a tremendous cost saving that also results in a happy and productive workforce. Whether you are one of those lucky work-from-home folks or if you run your own business, here are a few little quick tips to make sure your workspace leads you to success.

The comfort of your own home can lend a more casual environment, but it’s imperative to hold up a professional appearance when working from home.

Background

noise when on a conference call or virtual meeting is not acceptable. Having a designated work space that is separate from your home space will help to balance work and your personal life. Soundproofing, as well, is an excellent solution, especially if you need to tune out a barking dog or squealing children.

Sound dampening is becoming a requirement for modern families, so if you have the opportunity to reinsulate your home or office space, soundproofing insulation is an excellent choice.

Stone wool insulation, for example, is a top choice for professional recording studios. This

material is an excellent acoustic barrier that actually absorbs the sound. For homeowners, retailers point to a performance tested product called Roxul Safe ‘n’ Sound mineral wool insulation. It provides higher sound absorption against low frequency (bass) ranges that other types of

JACOBSON

insulation struggle to block.

Investing in the right home office equipment is another key to success. Consider your office needs when purchasing equipment. Don’t get caught up in the décor, but focus on the functionality. A good desk with adequate storage

is necessary, as well as a separate phone system (from your home) and updated computer equipment and software. Ensure you have everything you would have in a business office.

Establishing office hours will help to keep you on track. Setting boundaries so family and friends don’t interrupt you will keep you on point and productive. But don’t forget to network. Working from home can be isolating, so make sure you make time to meet face-to-face with colleagues or clients. This balance will make the whole “working from home” a rewarding experience.

Women In Business

Octob er 2013

Women changing the face of small business (NC) Over the past decade there has been astonishing growth in the number of Canadian women who are leaving the traditional workforce to join the emerging trend of female home-based entrepreneurs. Women entrepreneurs are one of the fastest growing segments of the Canadian economy and represent an emerging economic force according to a recent snapshot of Canada’s labor force by Statistics Canada.

According to the report, approximately 950,000 women were self-employed in 2012, accounting for a third of the self-employed population. This number has grown significantly, by 23 per cent

when compared to its male counterparts (14 per cent growth), over the past decade.

In fact, women entrepreneurs annually contribute in excess of $18 billion to Canada’s economy.

Ross Creber, President of the Direct Sellers Association of Canada, says a lot of women are choosing to branch out on their own in an effort to find a better balance between the demands of work and family.

Many of them, he explains, are choosing to start a new business in the direct selling industry so they can enjoy the flexibility of being their own boss and setting their own hours.

When Courtney

Haanen’s husband was laid off for the second time, she turned to direct selling to help support her family.

With a two-year-old to care for, Haanen needed to be able to work from home with flexible hours. After drawing up a list of requirements, she chose Avon due to the low start-up fee and potential for sales due to the variety of customers she could approach with the Avon brochure.

Within a month, Courtney saw that her home business was meeting her high expectations. “I started telling girlfriends who were home with their kids about what I was doing and I started building my Leader-

ship team.”

Avon Independent Sales Representatives are self-employed and receive up to 50 per cent earnings on the goods they sell. Some choose to just sell the products for extra money and often work around part-time jobs.

Others, like Haanen become Leadership Representatives, recruiting and training other independent sales representatives.

It’s in Leadership where one can build a successful business because not only do you earn commission on your own sales, you also earn commission on the sales of your team of independent representatives.

“My Leadership bonus arrived just in

time for the holidays.

Leadership bonuses make a difference for us when my husband is out of work, and my team is now big enough that I have financial flexibility. Plus I keep adding to my team. I take a lot of pride in my team and in helping them reach their goals.”

The Avon Leadership opportunity has helped Haanen and others meet their financial goals while working from home.

“With my second child now 2 ½, my home business gave me more financial freedom and flexibility during my maternity time. “ More information on women entrepreneurs is available at www.avon.ca.

Women

In Business Online courses help balance family & work

Balancing a career and a family can be difficult, and such a task gets even more complicated for professionals who decide it’s time to further their educations. Though it can be difficult to balance all three, many degree programs are now more flexible than ever.

In the past, night school was the only way working professionals could simultaneously pursue their

careers and further their educations. But thanks to advancements in technology, distance learning has enabled men and women to pursue their educations without committing to night school.

Flexible hours that allow students to complete coursework on their own time as long as they meet deadlines for assignments has made online degrees more and more attrac-

tive to busy professionals. Students and professors can keep in touch via the Internet, and some online students have found it easier to work with professors online than in a classroom.

Many schools now offer the same curriculum and courses through distance learning that they offer on campus. Students who may have studied at a particular school for an under-

graduate degree may be able to pursue additional degrees online at their alma mater. When pursuing such degrees, students must make sure the university is accredited.

Those considering online courses should realize that online courses require a certain measure of focus that differs from the focus necessary to succeed in a more typical academic envi-

ronment. * If you are new to online learning, initially enroll in one course at a time to get a feel for the process. Focus on a single course at a time so you can gauge how much attention and time is necessary to perform your best.

There is no point paying the tuition only to have to repeat the course again for lack of concentration from stretching yourself too thin.

who enjoyed all the run has to offer.

With record-breaking visitor numbers expected next year, the park will be upgraded in a number of ways,

including additional and clearer signage.

Empey also noted that while this year’s event was free, next year visitors should expect to pay a small fee.

This isn’t a money grab by any means, Empey said.

With the large crowds expected to be stopping at the park, Empey noted additional services would be required including porta-potties and overnight security.

Those who were not able to get in to see the run last week can still get a glimpse of the bright red salmon in the coming weeks.

While Thanksgiving weekend is usually the peak time, more salmon do continue to make their way into the area, and the coho are also expected to arrive soon.

While it isn’t a ‘big year’ for the run, it still attracted many interested tourists and locals as well.

MARKET NEWS STAff

A little extra education from students may be one of the many things that brought an increase in Chase tourism last summer.

There is no question that Elena Markin has been working hard at the local visitor centre, ensuring the word gets out on all the village has to offer.

The numbers show her work has been paying off. In June there were 486 visitors who stopped in the centre this year, a jump up from the previous year’s 410.

July’s numbers dipped slightly, 1,386 to just 1,240 this year.

In August, numbers were up again, from 1,433 to 1,493 this year Markin notes these numbers only reflect those who stop in at the centre itself.

Many Chase tourists still make their way into town without stopping by the centre, and an increasing number are heading to the centre’s website for information.

While most of the area’s tourists are from within B.C., it continues to attract many international travellers.

Markin believes that many of the new attractions Chase is offering are just one of the factors bringing in a little extra tourist flow.

This year, Markin also had the privilege of hiring three First Nations students. Savannah August, Rainbow Bruderer, and

Torri Kenoras spent the summer working at the visitor centre.

While they usually have enough funding for one student, Wes Francois from the local employment centre helped Markin get two more students.

This, Markin said, was a huge help, not only to her but to travellers as well.

Markin believes the help provided by the students were a major part of the centre’s positive reviews and success this summer – something she hopes will carry on in what is expected to be a big tourism year next year with the big salmon run.

DEANNA MARGUERITE CHRISTENSEN (KLOTZ) (MARTIAN) (CAMPBELL) 1937 - 2013 It is with sadness that the family of Deanna Christensen announces her passing on October 8th, 2013 in Vernon, BC, after 76 amazing, jammed packed years full of life.

Deanna was born in Allan, Saskatchewan; she spent her early years in Burns Lake, BC, where she had 5 children before moving to White Rock, BC where she had her sixth child.

There was not much Deanna did not do and there was nothing she would not try.

Deanna moved to the Okanagan later in life where she loved to dance and smile, love and laugh. Her bright spirit and enterprising ways will always be remembered by her children; Lynn (Gary), Rod (Wendy), Blaine (Trish), Shannon and Colleen (Bruce); sixteen grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.

Deanna had become an advocate for the Heart and Stroke Foundation in Vernon, BC and would appreciate in lieu of flowers, memorials be sent to them in her memory.

The family requests those that can attend her service to wear something red, it was her favorite color and she was an amazing woman built of many many colors.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm, BC. As Deanna was also a master on the computer, condolences and memories may also be shared through Deanna’s obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.

GARY BRANDON FISKE August 14, 1933 - October 7, 2013 Garry passed away on Monday, October 7, 2013 at Salmon Arm, BC at the age of 80 years. He was born at Loreburn, SK on Aug 14, 1933 He was predeceased by his parents, Fred and Betty Fiske and his brother Burrel.

Garry is survived by and will be sorely missed by his loving wife Donna, daughters Leigh Fiske (Gavin) and Rhonda Warren (Cam), son Jody (Brenda), brothers Glen (Evelyn), Ronnie (Shirley), Gerald (Sylvia) and Al (Bernie), sisters Fern Peardon (Lyman), Kae Holmes, Max Hicks (Bob), Marj Russel, Helen Reiger and Wendy Cafferata (Barry) and grandchildren Meagan Wright (Rob), Lauri O’Reilly and Justin O’Reilly.

Garry grew up in a family of 12 children in rural Saskatchewan where life was not always easy but the family was close and have plenty of stories and memories of childhood times. According to his mother’s diaries, he was an independent, smiley boy who was a favorite with the girls. Garry was a hardworking man his whole life and began work at the young age of 16 at a variety of jobs including working on the pipeline and CPR tracks in Elbow and helping with the harvesting at Don Book’s farm.

Garry joined the Air Force in 1953 where he was stationed in Macdonald, Manitoba for 3 years. He quit the airforce briefly then rejoined in early 1958 where he was stationed in Gimli, Manitoba. He married Donna Ward from Craik Saskatchewan on June 28th, 1958 and they started their home and life together in Gimli in one of Kelly’s Cabins, a tiny summer cabin close to Winnipeg Beach. Leigh was born in 1960 and Jody followed in 1962. Garry was sent to Africa in 1966 under a government program to train the Tanzanian airforce. It was a long way from home but Garry returned in 1967 with lots of stories and photos of his time there. He was then stationed in Comox, BC and Rhonda was born there in 1969.

Garry worked on Labrador helicopters and Search and Rescue – a role he very much enjoyed and spoke of fondly. In 1975 the family transferred to Trenton, Ontario and in 1982 Garry was sent to Ottawa. He retired from the Air Force as a Master Warrant Officer and went to work for Garrett of Canada in Toronto in 1987 until 1989 when he and Donna retired to Blind Bay, BC. They enjoyed a wonderful retirement together where Garry had time to golf, fish and participate with the Lions Club; activities he truly enjoyed. Thankfully he experienced good health and an active and busy life up until he passed away on October 7, 2013 in Salmon Arm, BC. He was a wonderful husband, father, son, brother and friend and he will be fondly remembered for his sense of humour, great laugh and generous nature.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Shuswap Hospital Foundation.

Many thanks to the physicians and nurses at Shuswap Lake Hospital for their care and attention to Garry in his final days.

A memorial service was held on Friday, October 11, 2013 from Fischer’s Funeral Services with Rev. Gloria Christian officiating.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129.
