Downtown highway signal swap unlikely

By Lachlan Labere

market news staff

No substantial, traffic-altering changes will occur downtown along the Trans-Canada Highway without a buy-in from city council.

A series of four recommendations from the Trans-Canada Highway Corridor Safety Study Working Group was presented to council Monday. They include the installation, of pedestrian countdown timers, installation of access awareness measures such as coloured crosswalks and a city centre gateway, miscellaneous improvements including crosswalks and lighting and the

completion of an updated Downtown Transportation Study.

Engineering and public works director Rob Niewenhuizen said the countdown timers could be funded by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) and ICBC, while the access awareness measures would require more discussion by the working group.

All of the recommended improvements will be included in the 2014 budget for council’s consideration.

The working group’s suggestions, and the group itself, stem from a larger list of recommendations in a TCH corridor safety study con-

ducted by MOTI and ICBC. These included a recommendation to move the signal-lit intersection at Ross Street to Fourth Street and restricting turns on Ross, proposals disparaged by organizations representing downtown businesses. But Coun. Alan Harrison, a member of the working group, said he doesn’t see any major changes occurring without council’s endorsement.

Harrison explained the MOTI/ICBC study was done as a result of council’s interest in having an intersection safety camera installed at the Alexander/TCH intersection, so as to slow down See Proposed on page A2

Rugby booster

LachLan Labere/market news

n Avia Latosky, Flynn Johnson and Grace Rempel have a look at some of the interesting items up for sale during the SAS Junior Girls Rugby garage sale/barbecue fundraiser Saturday in the Ross Street parking lot. The team will be hosting a number of fundraisers, including an upcoming poinsettia sale, to earn money to go to the Fullerton International Rugby Tournament in California.

For more info, call Michelle at 250-832-7462.

Proposed corridor changes deferred to 2014 budget Continued from front commercial truck traffic while making it safer for pedestrians and local traffic to cross the highway.

The ministry was not supportive, arguing a camera would slow traffic down and result in more rear-end collisions. The study was recommended to find alternative efficiencies/ improvements.

Harrison said because other significant changes in the study hinged on shifting traffic lights from Ross to Fourth, local input was sought and received from Downtown Salmon Arm, the chamber, the Downtown Parking Committee and the Economic Development Society.

All were critical of the move. Subsequently, there was a split within

the working group between those representing the province and those with more local interests.

“The reason I think it was split was because MOTI wants to

Coun. Alan Harrison

move traffic through the highway corridor as quickly and as safely as possible – that’s what they do,” said Harrison. “And locally, we want to slow traffic down on the highway corridor, to make it safe for pedestrians and local traffic cross-

ing the Trans-Canada Highway, and of course we want to encourage traffic to turn into the downtown. So there’s a difference in philosophy here.”

Regarding the four recommendations that are being forwarded for budget consideration, Harrison suggested the Downtown Transportation Study would be more valuable after an underpass is completed.

Coun. Denise Reimer thanked Harrison for his efforts, and for clarifying the study was initiated not by the city but by the province.

Reflecting on the traffic intersection camera, Coun. Chad Eliason suggested council should pick its battles with MOTI, such as advocating for a replacement for the Salmon River Bridge.

Future of Malakwa Community Centre uncertain The fate of the Malakwa Resource Facility, which includes the Malakwa Community Learning Centre, remains precarious after a Sept. 28 referendum to contribute tax funding to the facility was rejected.

The issue was discussed briefly at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s Oct. 17 meeting, with area director Rhona Martin expressing deep sadness that the motion was not approved.

“A lot of people said they didn’t know, but we advertised in the three papers, I did a mail out, we had it on Facebook. You hear this from all over the province, just how much trouble there

can be communicating with the public.”

The referendum gave residents an opportunity to vote on a proposed Columbia Shuswap Regional District bylaw that would have allowed the regional district to enter into a five- to 10year lease agreement with School District #83 to be responsible for the ongoing maintenance and operation of the former school.

If approved, the bylaw would have required an annual $125,000 contribution through a property value tax levy.

The result was 57 in favour, 152 opposed.

Martin says the group has some funds to keep the facility operational for a

short time. The building used to house the Malakwa Elementary School, before it was closed by School District #83, citing low student numbers and the need to trim their budget.

“We will be meeting with the school board next week to look at the situation, said Martin.

“We need the school district’s permission if we are going to be able to use the building in any way.”

Garden Centre The regional district has taken the first step towards a development proposal that would see a commercial nursery and garden centre constructed on property near the Shuswap

Lake Estates driving range.

While the plans are continuing to evolve, the acceptance of the board means the process will now advance to a consultation stage that includes various provincial ministries, First Nations bands and local area residents.

The proposal would not require any additional access points off the Trans-Canada Highway, as it would utilize the same road access as the Shuswap Fire Hall.

Fire Chiefs The regional district has updated and renewed its slate of fire chiefs for three-year terms beginning this

November. Appointments include Graham Lucas for the Anglemont Fire Department, Roy Phillips for the Celista Fire Department, Troy Ricard for the Falkland Fire Department, Joanne Held for the Malakwa Fire Department, Parker Vaile for the Nicholson Fore Department, Marvin Gros for the Ranchero-Deep Creek Fire Department, Art Stoll for the Scotch Creek-Lee Creek Fire Department, Gary Hoult for the Shuswap Fire Department, Len Sarrazin for the Silver Creek Fire Department, Kyle Schneider for the Tappen-Sunnybrae Fire Department and Brian Griffin for the White Lake Fire Department.

Fundraiser for Food Bank

B.C. to consider alcoholic drink sales in food stores

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government’s liquor policy review has heard a ‘loud and clear’ message that people want the convenience of buying alcoholic beverages in grocery stores, says the MLA in charge of the review.

With a three-month consultation period ending Oct. 31, Richmond Steveston MLA John Yap said Tuesday that about 80 per cent of respondents want the extra convenience that is routine in U.S. grocery stores.

But Yap is proposing a less convenient model, a “store within a store” that would have separate space and staff for alcohol purchases. He said the number of outlets could be restricted to

the current level, with some existing private or public liquor stores moved into grocery stores.

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario has announced a similar pilot project, with 10 “express” stores to offer limited selection inside or next to grocery stores. Nova Scotia also has government liquor stores located in grocery stores.

When the B.C. consultation began in September, Yap noted that beer, wine and spirits are already sold in rural grocery stores. He was critical of the U.S. model, saying it could lead to increased health and safety issues from increased consumption, as well as law enforcement problems.

B.C.’s medical health officers have called

for a freeze or reduction to the number of private retailers, a $3 minimum price for bar drinks and higher prices for drinks with more alcohol content to deter over-consumption.

The Alliance of Beverage Licensees, representing pubs, bars and private liquor stores in B.C., isn’t happy with the idea. ABLE BC executive director Ian Baillie said the province already has more than 1,400 government and private liquor stores.

“The government also needs to consider what the impact of allowing large grocery chains to sell liquor will be on the thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of income that are provided by the current system,” Baillie said.

Senate costing Harper credibility Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in August that he wasn’t planning to appoint any new senators in the near future.

No doubt his resolve has been strengthened in recent weeks. His appointments of Pamela Wallin, Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau to the Senate, at least of late, have not gone well for him.

Harper now claims the former-journalists Duffy and Wallin – previously valued fundraisers for the Conservative party – and their colleague Brazeau are guilty of abusing the public purse. That’s why he’s fully behind the Senate resolution to suspend the three without pay or benefits – even though many have argued such punitive suspensions violate due process. But Harper must recognize there is also a perceived gap in his own credibility. He denied, when the scandal surfaced, that he was involved in Duffy’s repayment of unjustified living expenses, but his tune has been changing as the embattled senators voice their side of the story. Their accounts allege backroom deals to cover up the scandal, followed by threats from the PMO and Senate colleagues to repay the expenses and, subsequently, to resign to avoid further embarrassing the party.

Now, Harper says he did tell Duffy – in front of his caucus – to repay the money claimed, although he denies Duffy’s account of a private meeting between himself, Duffy and former PMO chief of staff Nigel Wright to discuss it. In response to questions about Wright’s $90,000 cheque to Duffy to cover the repayment, Harper – who previously said Wright “resigned” – now says Wright was “dismissed” for his lapse of judgment.

Critics say Harper has seriously mishandled the Senate-expenses affair by hewing to a familiar line of stonewalling in hopes the scandal would simply die quietly. No chance of that now.

It’s time for all the parties involved, including Harper, to testify under oath to get to the truth.

Celestial guide to fly fishing

What do astrophotography and fly fishing have in common?

Admittedly, not a heck of a lot. But when you are short of ideas for your weekly column you start asking yourself such questions. I have been an avid angler for more than half a century. I have also been a photographer for just about the same number of years. I’ve also had an interest in astronomy for most of those years. So to answer my original question – I’d have to say that, for myself, the moon plays a significant role in each.

On a clear summer evening I like to sit out in my front yard at night, in one of my ancient Adirondack chairs, and just stare up at the moon. I have two different types of telescopes which, when I get around to hauling them out and setting them up, are usually aimed at the moon. Over the years I have observed and photographed the moon many times in all its phases.

I also use something called Solunar Tables a lot when I plan my fishing trips.

The word ‘solunar’ comes from sol (sun) and lunar (moon). The basis for the

THe GreaT OuTdOOrS James Murray Solunar Tables comes from the concept that the sun and moon affect the tides and tidal fishing, and that the rise and fall of the tides are caused by the force or pull exerted by the moon.

Credit for the whole Solunar Tables theory goes to John Alden Knight, author of The Modern Angler, 1936. Initially, Knight compared 33 factors which seemed to influence the behaviour of fish and caused them to become more active.

Of those, he further examined three: sunrise and sunset, phases of the moon, and the tides. From those he developed the Solunar Tables. To substantiate his theory, Knight systematically compared the timing of 200 record catches and found that more than 90 per

cent were made during a new moon (even when one was not visible). This is the time when the influence of solunar periods is strongest.

Because of the interaction of many solar and lunar cycles, no two days, months or years are ever the same.

June has a greater combined solunar influence than any other month. During a full moon, the sun and moon are nearly opposite each other, and throughout the course of the day, either one is nearly always on the horizon. Whereas, during a new moon, both celestial bodies are in near-perfect alignment, travelling through the sky together with their forces and influences combined. If one is willing to concede that the sun and moon affect the tides in the oceans and seas, then it should not be too much of a leap of faith to believe they exert a similar influence on inland bodies of water.

To simplify things, it would seem that scientists concur that the many creatures which inhabit this planet, including fish in both tidal and non-tidal waters, are affected by the sun and moon at specific times of

the day. The Solunar Tables were developed from this relationship.

In effect, each day was divided into four periods -– two in the morning and two in the afternoon. There are two types of periods: the major and the minor. The major period is approximately two hours and the minor lasting one to oneand-a-half hours. Each day has two major and two minor periods which, in effect, could easily be compared to our lunch and dinner times. The trick is to know when these periods will occur on any given day, and then plan your fishing trips accordingly.

As for spending time staring up at the moon, well, that’s something we’ve all done at one time of another.

And, as for photographing the moon, that’s just something I enjoy doing. It’s as close to a hobby as I’ll ever get. Fishing is more than a hobby – it’s a passion, it’s a lifestyle.

Owning business doesn’t merit extra vote Re: Businesses ponder voting scheme, Market News, Oct. 26 I am strongly opposed to the idea, being promoted by the BC Chamber of Commerce, that business owners and operators who work in one municipality, and live in another, should have a vote in each, in municipal elections. If a business operates from just one site, its owner or

operator has a choice whether to live, and vote, in that municipality. If some decide not to, why should this entitle them to a second vote? Should employees who live in one municipality, and work in another, get a second vote too?

Large corporations already have far too much influence on federal and provincial politics. Records of their

lobbying activities show how energetic they are in influencing legislation and regulations. A striking example is that, when the federal government negotiates a “free trade” treaty, major corporations are closely involved in the negotiations, while MPs do not even find out what provisions the treaty contains until it is ready for signature by

our Big Brother government. And at this point, party discipline tells them all which way to vote. Government by and for the people has long since gone out of the window. Government by and for the (big) corporations is now the norm. Why should this be extended to local government too?

Chase citizens oppose rezoning for industry We are the Chase Concerned Citizens Group and we need your help. We are a group of people who love our village and seek to protect it and our properties from dirty industry. We shop locally whenever possible, we crowd the sidewalks for the Santa Claus Parade in winter and we flock to Cornstalk in summer.

Except for rail traffic, we enjoy clean, quiet surroundings on a pristine lake.

We want to see Chase grow and prosper, but not at the expense of our own and our environment’s health.

The Village of Chase is attempting to rezone a 25-acre parcel of land on Aylmer Road, which abuts Chase Creek, from residential to industrial. Residential homes are mere metres away from this site. Our First Nations neighbors are just across the river.

This factory, spewing particulate, air, noise,

SilverBacks Hockey

dust and light pollution, would effectively occupy the centre of our village, placing ourselves and most of Little Shuswap Lake under an umbrella of carcinogens year round.

The vicinity of the sawmill at Adams Lake is the ideal location for this enterprise. It is away from residential, the jobs and tax revenues would still flow to Chase and the raw materials are right there.

So, what vision do

you want for the Village of Chase?

We have had an inversion for several days now. Imagine being trapped under this, with the accumulated toxic stew that this factory would spew for 24 hours a day.

Write to council at chase@chasebc.ca. The time to stop this tragedy is rapidly running out.

Please, say no to rezoning.

Chamber back in business The South Shuswap Chamber of Commerce, which has had its doors shut for the past 10 months is very much alive and will be open for business come Nov. 15.

At the chamber’s AGM in January, a quorum could not be met with existing membership so the chamber was forced to close its doors.

Local resident and business owner Karen Brown sought guidance from the Economic Development Office, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District and Corporations Canada to consider reopening chamber.

“It was evident that the chamber was very much missed. It was the piece that was missing... there was no longer a voice for business in the area,” Brown says.

“Although I wasn’t a member of the last board of directors, I have served on many boards and committees in the past.

“You find that the same people volunteer time and time again for various causes and, quite frankly, people get tired. If they aren’t supported, frustration can set in, energy levels drop and the drive and inspiration to move forward is lost.”

Brown then approached several business people in the community.

“My goal was to get a group of people together who represented a diversity of business

in the area – from construction to accommodations, to marinas to retail and restaurants.

“I also tried to choose people to represent all areas of the South Shuswap, not just Sorrento and Blind Bay.” As well, Brown tried to recruit some youthful members to the board to get a fresh perspective on what younger fami-

lies are looking for in the South Shuswap.

The final key was to ensure that if they were going to work together, board members first had to meet and share their individual ideas as to what a healthy, thriving business community could look like.

From their first meeting, it was apparent this group could work well

together.

Chamber directors for the upcoming year are Dan Baskill, Dave Brice, Dee Crinion, Brad Davies, Fiona Harris, Brad Long, Brad Scott, Gareth Seys, Tim Thompson and Erika Zazzi. Development officer and Tourism Shuswap rep Robyn Cyr will take part as an appointed director.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Seven ways to alleviate cabin fever Long winter days can quickly bring on feelings of cabin fever. Although cabin fever is not a recognized medical condition, it can compromise wellbeing. Cabin fever can strike even the most optimistic people.

Cabin fever normally affects people during the winter months, when shortened days, longer periods of darkness and cold temperatures often force people to remain inside. These factors can lead to depression, boredom, anxiety, and an inability to concentrate.

Alleviating symptoms of cabin fever requires making a few changes, including getting outdoors whenever possible.

1. Head outside. It may be cold and dreary, but getting outside can be healthy. Take advantage of daylight hours

whenever possible. Plan a walk around the neighborhood before you go to work. Otherwise, spend your lunch hour outdoors soaking up the sun’s rays.

The sun is an instant mood-booster.

2. Brighten up the indoors. Choose energizing colors like yellow, orange and red to decorate the interior of your home.

Invest in lights that offer a greater amount of wattage and brightness. Lighttherapy lamps produce bright light that simulates the sun and provides broad-spectrum rays. Sitting in front of one of these lights can alleviate feelings of seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. 3. Grow more indoor plants. Plants can help filter out stale, stagnant air in the house and add moisture to the environment. Breathing fresh

The shortened days of winter with longer periods of darkness often force people to remain indoors.

This can lead to depression, boredom and anxiety. oxygen from these plants can provide you with energy and help you to feel revitalized.

4. Increase your exercise routine. Now could be the time to join the gym or become part of a walking group. According to The Mayo Clinic, exercise

can boost mood, reducing immune system chemicals that can worsen symptoms of depression. In addition, exercise increases body temperature, which may have calming effects, and releases feel-good brain chemicals that may ease depression.

5. Throw a party. The old saying is “misery loves company,” so why not invite friends over and banish cabin fever together?

Winter tends to be alienating, as people are more inclined to bundle up and stay indoors. Forcing socialization can brighten not only your own mood but that of others as well.

6. Get out of town.

Cabin fever can be temporarily abated by a mini vacation. Head somewhere that is warm and sunny. If you cannot afford a trip to the tropics, a brief jaunt to a spa or relative’s house may banish boredom and get you out of the house.

7. Try a new hobby.

Attempt an activity that marries winter with getting active. Ideal activities include cross-country skiing, ice hockey, skating, or snowshoeing.

Chlorophyll – Essential to all life!

Necessary for the existence of life, chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants. Through photosynthesis energy is stored in plants as carbohydrates and enters the food chain.

In our body, chlorophyll detoxifies, soothes inflammation, and deodorizes the bowels .

Chlorophyll activates enzymes needed for ev-

ery biological process, and is one of the greatest food substances for rejuvenating the blood and cleansing our elimination systems . Green Food Supplements can benefit energy, recovery, antioxidant status, bone health and they are an excellent source of chlorophyll .

Chlorella , a green microalgae, gets its name

from the rich quantity of chlorophyll it possesses (in greek: chloros, meaning green). Chlorella contains more chlorophyll per gram than any other plant and is an exceptional detoxifying agent, capable of clearing heavy metals from the body’s tissues and supporting the optimum functioning of the liver .

Chlorophyll significantly raises the pH in foods so that they are more alkaline forming (pH level > 7). Vegetables that are highly alkaline forming are asparagus, all leafy greens, sprouts, celery, bell peppers, to name a few. A high-stress lifestyle can drop pH-levels, which can make your body more acidic (pH level <

7). The ideal body pH is 7.35. Low pH affects our health at a cellular level, leaving us more vulnerable to poor sleep, fatigue, poor digestion, obesity, bone mass loss and other health concerns. Balanced body pH plays a role in overall health as well as bone health.

Local health care imminent

By Cavelle Layes

MARKET NEWS STAff

After weeks of preparation and months without proper health care in the area, the Sorrento and Area Community Health Centre is finally ready to open its doors.

SACHC officials are excited to announce they will be opening the office to provide health services to local residents on Monday, Nov. 18.

Nurse Practitioner Judy Deringer has been busy outfitting the office and says the process has taken longer than anyone anticipated.

She looks forward to meeting residents with health concerns.

Deringer will be able to assist with many of the community’s health concerns that had previously

had to be addressed and treated out of town.

The Centre is located above Munro’s Sorrento Prescriptions at 1250 Trans-Canada Highway in downtown Sorrento.

Access to the centre is located from the rear laneway.

Watch for further announcements with respect to hours of operation and contact information.

The community health centre is a joint initiative of Interior Health and the Sorrento and Area Community Association (SACA).

Interior Health is paying Deringer’s salary and SACA is fundraising to pay the overhead costs.

Donations to help make this happen can be made to the Sorrento and Area Community Health Centre at the Sorrento branch of the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union.

Sorrento seniors get last chance to act up One last dramatic attempt to bring the art of theatre to Sorrento is in the works, but it is up to local residents to ensure it stays.

Local playwright Peter Blacklock, who has run the Seniors’ Theatre program at Cedar Heights Hall for the past three years, is trying hard to spread the laughter and fun that

has characterized the program to the Memorial Hall in Sorrento as well.

The program is sponsored by Shuswap Theatre and the Government of Canada through the New Horizons for Seniors program, allowing it to be offered at no cost to the participants other than their membership in

Shuswap Theatre.

This is not a program about acting, it is more about “acting up.”

The activities are built around staying mentally, physically, and socially active and fit.

Those taking part will learn skills for remembering and for telling stories, and look at the kinds of situa-

tions that they all face on a daily basis.

If you have ever thought you might like to try something just a little out of your comfort zone in a supportive and non-threatening environment, then this is the place for you.

For more information, call Peter at 250675-3004.

Dates to remember A Very Silly Script, Nov. 1 and 2 beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Cedar Heights Hall. Tickets $10. For more info, call 250-657-3004.

Get more good out of this year’s gourd LivinG WELL October is the month for pumpkins. Pumpkins grow well in our area, and are in abundance at this time of year. When most people think of pumpkins, jack-o’-lanterns and pies are usually what come to mind but these nutritious, versatile and hardy gourds can be so much more.

Did you know the world’s largest pumpkin weighed in at over 1,600 pounds? Even more surprising is that in some communities people hollow out pumpkins, make them into boats and have annual pumpkin boat races. If you don’t believe me … look it up on the Internet.

Like other types of squash, pumpkins are full of nutrients. Their deep orange-coloured flesh is packed with beta-carotene. This is an antioxidant that helps

prevent heart disease and cancer. Pumpkins are also a good source of vitamin C, potassium and fibre.

Pumpkin pie is a popular treat but pumpkin can be used for so much more. Try it in cookies, pancakes, loaves, muffins, soups and more. When choosing a pumpkin for cooking, look for one that is smaller and heavy for its size.

When carving your Halloween jack-o’lantern be sure to save the seeds for roasting.

Baked pumpkin seeds are a healthy snack and they are easy to make.

Just rinse the pumpkin seeds to remove pulp then lay the seeds on a piece of paper towel to dry. Next, put the seeds in a bowl with a bit of vegetable oil and your favourite flavouring (Mrs. Dash, seasoning salt, or cinnamon and

brown sugar. Finally, spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350° F, stirring occasionally until light brown and crisp (about 15 to 25 minutes).

Looking for a way to use up that left over pumpkin puree?

healthy muffin recipe from Healthy Families BC: www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/blog/ pumpkin-raisin-muffins-tracy-nash.

n Salmon Arm Colt Colby Heckrodt goes down in a tackle during action versus the Vernon Magnums.

Pee Wee Colts prepare for playoff action The Salmon Arm Pee Wee Colts played hard and with heart Sunday versus Vernon.

Vernon wound up taking the game in a 32-0 sweep. But Colts coach Jerrit Lindgren is extremely proud of the team and how they

played.

“We lost the game but our players displayed an extreme amount of heart, which you don’t see very often at this age level,” said Lindgren. “We suffered quite a few injuries and, at one point

were down to 13 players, which meant only one player could sub off at a time.

“All of our players stayed positive and walked off the field with their heads held high.”

Sunday was the last

league game for the Colts, who finish the season in third place.

Playoffs begin this Sunday for the team, who have a bye for the first weekend, and will face off against the Kelowna Lions on Nov. 10.

Immunization clinics open Flu season is approaching and public health nurses across Interior Health are gearing up for the launch of this year’s influenza (flu) vaccination campaign.

Public flu clinics will begin administering the flu shots next week in Chase and throughout the Shuswap area on a drop-in basis.

Influenza is a highly contagious infection and can be very serious, especially for those with heart, lung and other health problems.

In years when influenza is widespread in B.C., hundreds of people may die from influenza or complications, such as pneumonia.

The flu shot is free of charge for British Columbia residents who are 65 years and older, as well as their caregivers and household

contacts, all children age six to 59 months of age, household contacts and caregivers of infants age zero to 59 months of age, children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts, aboriginal people, children and adolescents six months to 18 years with conditions treated for long periods of time with Aspirin or ASA and their household contacts, residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities, pregnant women who will be in their third trimester during influenza season and their household contacts (pregnant women who are in other high risk groups can be immunized at any time during the pregnancy), people who are very obese, health-care and other care providers in

facilities and community settings who are capable of transmitting influenza disease to those at high risk of influenza complications, people who provide essential community services (first responders, corrections workers), inmates of provincial correctional institutions, people who work with live poultry and/ or swine, and individuals who provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high risk persons (e.g., crew on ships).

People ineligible for the free flu vaccine through the publiclyfunded program should contact their physician, local pharmacy, walkin clinic, travel clinic or private provider.

Residents of the North Shuswap can get their vaccination at the North Shuswap

Community Hall on Wednesday, Nov. 6.

The clinic will be at the Chase community hall Thursday, Nov. 7 and again on Nov. 8.

If you are unable to attend the clinic on your designated day, you may book an appointment at the Chase Health Centre by calling 250-679-1393.

For more information on whether you qualify for a free flu shot, or general information on the influenza vaccine, visit the Interior Health website at www.interiorhealth.ca.

Information is also available on the Immunize BC website at www.immunizebc.ca, or on HealthLink BC at www.healthlinkbc. ca.

You can also call HealthLink BC at 8-11 to speak to a healthcare professional.

Quilters show another success

By Cavelle Layes

market news staff

The Chase Country Quilters have sewn their way to success once again, but it could not have been done without community support.

The Chase Country Quilters hosted their annual show and sale last weekend on Oct. 26 with more than 70 quilts on display.

With a steady stream of visitors coming in to see the works, the event was thought to once again be a hit.

This was not a surprise, as the Chase Country Quilters have received generous support since they began their shows. It is thanks to this support that the group has been able to make many donations throughout the years to those in need. This year alone, they donated 52 quilts. They include 21 quilts to the Chase Public Health nurse for newborns; 28 book bags to the Chase Literacy Program; the

n Chase Country Quilters members show off one of their pieces at their recent annual show and sale.

Royal Inland Hospital’s pediatrics unit were given eight quilts; the cancer clinic also received eight and the renal unit was presented with five.

Other quilt donations were made to the Team Chase Pink Ribbon, Chase and District Museum, Creekside Seniors and the 222 Shuswap Air Cadets Squadron.

Money raised from the annual quilt show goes back into buying fabric for their next round of donation quilts.

However, the group still relies on the community donations of fabric, as well as sewing machines.

The Chase Country Quilters will also accept a sewing machine which is in workable

Dynamiters fizzle in face of Heat For the past three home games Chase Heat players have been sporting pink accents on their equipment in support of breast cancer awareness.

On Friday, Oct. 25 they added pink jerseys in a contest versus the Kimberley Dynamiters at Art Holding Memorial Arena.

A crowd of 275 watched an actionpacked contest with the local side coming out on a well-deserved 4-1

victory.

Jake Mattes went the distance in goal, stopping 22 of 23. Cody Koskimaki, Jordan Passmore and Kaleb Boyle all scored in the first, with Nic Fidanza potting one in the second. Kurtis Johnson picked up two assists.

At game’s end, 19 of the Heat players had their heads shorn of their long locks as part of the fundraising activities. Hair today, gone tomorrow.

With the auctioning off of the pink jerseys, the brand new short haircuts and the 50/50 proceeds, the evening raised just short of $3,000. Be proud Chase!

The following evening in Kamloops versus the Storm, a totally different team showed up.

The Heat fell 7-3 in a contest with a lack of skating, intensity and the will to overcome adversity.

by Mike Byer.

The foe, along with support from the officiating, was able to throw the rule book out on this one.

The team hits the road next weekend with games in Golden versus the Rockets, Invermere versus the Rockies and the first of the season versus division rivals the Revelstoke Grizzlies. Next home game is Nov. 8 versus the Golden Rockets.

MANDEEP MANDY DHALIWAL-SUMRA December 4, 1982 - November 4, 2012 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a year since youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been gone and it feels like yesterday you were here. Â They say time heals all wounds, but time doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heal, it just gives you a chance to get stronger to deal with reality.

Born December 4, 1982 in Kamloops. She graduated from Salmon Arm Secondary in 2000 and completed her BBA at Kamloops Thompson Rivers University in 2005. Â Mandy married Davinder from New Westminster on September 4, 2010 .

Mandy was a devoted wife, loving daughter and youngest sibling. Her exuberant personality and zest for life left all who met her with indelible memories. Mandy got sick and was not able to recover from the complications from an auto immune disorder called Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS). Â Mandy had a stay at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital and was very impressed with the level of care she received except the fact that there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a blanket warmer on the 4th level of the Hospital. Â Her parents have made a donation to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation and they purchased a Blanket warmer in her honor for the 4th floor.

A Memorial Service was held at Bowers Funeral Chapel on Saturday October 19, 2013 at 1:00 pm for those who wished to attend.

Online condolences can be sent through Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com STANLEY stanley FREDERICK frederick EUGENE eugene PINYON pinyon Novemger 24, 1927 - october October 22, 2013 november Stan passed away on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013 at his home in Tappen at the age of 85 years. He was born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta on Nov. 24, 1927.

He was predeceased by his parents, Eugene and Freda Pinyon.

Stan is survived by his loving family. His wife of 61 years, Margaret, daughters Alvina Gooch (Jamie), Vi Smith (Ken), Lorraine Snoek (Nick), Dolores Gooch (Ron) and son Gene Pinyon (Kandy); his brothers Norm (Irene), John (Annie) and Gordie (Margie), sisters Vi, Eve (Jim), Chris, Marge and Betty (Jim) and 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren and numerous other relatives.

Stan grew up in rural Alberta, the oldest of 9 children. He was very dedicated to his family and left school at the end of grade 8 to help out on the family farm. He milked cows and did field work. Driving teams was one of his favourite jobs. He later started breaking horses for extra money.

In 1951 he met Margaret Bodenham. They were married August 29, 1952. In the first years Stan worked hard; logging, farming and selling firewood to make a living. Their first 3 daughters were born in 1953, 1954 and 1956. Then in 1957, Stan moved his family to BC and worked in various logging camps until they settled in Lone Butte in 1959. In 1960, their 4th daughter was born. In 1961 they moved to 100 Mile House and lived there for several years.

Stan worked in various sawmills as a sawyer and their son was born in 1968. The following year they moved to Tappen, a favourite holiday spot where they built their house on a 15 acre farm.

Stan worked as a millwright and sawyer at a local mill. In 1978 he worked for Gentry Farms delivering eggs and grinding grain until he retired in 1992.

Stan enjoyed many camping, fishing and hunting trips with his family and summers spent on his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm in Alberta putting up hay with horses.

Over the years as his family grew, getting together at reunions and other special occasions made his life complete.

Though our husband, dad, grandpa and great grandpa has left, he will always be with us in our hearts.

On Sunday, Nov. 3, 2013 there will be a Celebration of Life at 3:00 at White Lake Hall.

If you would like, contributions in memory of Stan may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 729 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC, V2C 2B5.

EGGLESTON, STEWART LESTER R.I.P. BROTHER Soar through the air let your spirit fly free, and with the catch of an angel this is where you want to be.

You are lifted up with grace and taken high above, you are showered with peace and protection but most of all showered with love.

For now you have no anger no tears, fear or pain, these feelings you held are released and now happiness is all you will gain.

So take their hands of freedom your new life is not to fear, and remember we’ll never forget you as your love will always be near.
