Chase council approves rezoning

Pellet plant: Politicians cite tax benefits, jobs as reasons to support proposal.

By Cavelle Layes

MARKET NEWS STAff

Months of debate all came down to about 15 minutes, as Chase council unanimously voted to approve the rezoning of the Aylmer Road property for a proposed wood pellet plant.

The Tuesday decision did not ensure that the Pinnacle pellet plant will be coming to Chase, as council only voted on rezoning of the property.

The decision allows the business to take the next steps, which will eventually include completing an

environmental assessment.

While the meeting was short, a number of Chase residents continue to say that the results of the Nov. 26 council meeting are anything but sweet. The unanimous vote had mixed reactions throughout the gallery, with some citizens threatening to move.

“It is a sham,” Chase resident Stella Sparks said after the meeting. “I don’t mind it being industrial, but they are just going to shoo in the pellet plant and that is just not the right industry for this town.”

Couns. Steve Scott and Rod Crowe both stood before the full

gallery Tuesday, explaining their reasons for voting in favour.

“Residential is not viable,” said Coun. Steve Scott.

Scott explained that after researching the issue, visiting mill sites and the Aylmer Road property, he came to the conclusion that the land simply would not support residential property.

He noted the site was an industrial area for 100 years, costs would outweigh profits for residential developers and potential residents would have the stigma of living on an old industrial site.

“Chase needs a multiple varied

tax base,” Scott said, but also noted that current small businesses could not shoulder a large portion of the municipal tax and many Chase homeowners could not afford a tax hike.

“Homeowners with jobs like me are already taxed out,” Scott said.

Crowe said he had spent four hours in the Williams Lake area.

There he studied the pellet plant, took photographs and visited local businesses where he could listen for noise and other possible problems.

He had also visited the ArmSee Neighbours on page 2

Neighbours ‘disappointed’ Continued from front strong plant and did the same.

During the public hearing process many referred to Chase as a retirement community. However, he said, Chase’s population demographic shows that 78 per cent of the population is under the age of 65.

Crowe also detailed the many jobs provided to Chase residents by the forest industry, including those from Adams Lake Lumber, which also pays taxes to the Village of Chase.

He explained this helps support the community’s tax base, as well as providing jobs for those living in the area.

Crowe said 70 per cent of the letters submitted to the office were in favour of rezoning the land, saying these were just some of the factors in his decision.

Crowe suggested that many in the area were more concerned

about the rezoning of the parcel of land than they are about the village budget, alluding to the small turn out for budget meetings.

He explained that there are many jobs that desperately need to be completed in Chase, all of which cost thousands or millions of dollars that Chase currently does not have.

The new water treatment plant costs almost $7 million, the community hall requires $300,000 in repairs and upgrades, the sewage treatment operation needs a minimum of $1 million in work, and Brooke Drive needs $250,000 worth of repairs.

Cottonwood Street, in front of the schools, needs about $7 million in work. Crowe noted there is some question whether the water system provides adequate fire protection to the school, yet it has been bumped from numerous budget meetings.

If the pellet plant was built on the land it would generate a mini-

mum of $70,000 to $75,000, Crowe said.

He continued: “$70,000 is equivalent to a four-per cent tax increase in this town.”

Juniper Road resident Len McLean was also not pleased to hear the news.

“We are disappointed because we are residents that live very close by,” he said, “It is a little disheartening but I guess we will just move on from there and do the best we can.

We have tried with the village but that seems to be the end of our opportunity there.”

Not all residents were displeased, however. Many business owners in the area saw the rezoning as a small victory.

“As a small business owner with a young family, I think this is a step in the right direction for the young adults of Chase,” said Peter Stratikopoulos, noting he hopes it will lead the way to improving the local economy and employment options.

Proposal: Owner wants to create 19 beachfront sites.

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

Blind Bay Resort owner Dan Baskill is looking for community support.

A public hearing will be held Thursday, Dec. 5 on Baskill’s proposal to have two waterfront properties that are currently zoned single-family dwelling changed to a tourist commercial designation.

Such an amendment to the official community plan would allow Baskill to develop the beachfront land into 19 RV sites.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors gave Baskill’s proposal second reading at the Nov. 14 board meeting in order to get it to the public hearing stage, says regional district planner Dan Passmore.

“The public input hadn’t been realized and the will of the board was to see this public input,” he says. “The board wants to know what the public feels

about this development, particularly in view of its impact on the foreshore.”

Two waterfront properties, each with one single family dwelling, is what the current OCP would support, says Passmore, noting the new Area C OCP has been completed, is being assessed by the province and has not yet been approved.

The new official community plan does not support any foreshore development other than single-family dwelling, Passmore says.

“It isn’t here yet and that is the critical factor; the new OCP would contain policies that would need some additional rationalization to support the amendment proposed,” he says.

“But as we all know, the OCP is a living document and applicants can apply for re-designation and amendments at any time.”

If the foreshore development is approved, park models or modulars would be permitted

on the 19 lots but could only be occupied for up to six months of the year, says Passmore.

“The rezoning would also sanction the existing development on the upland portion, an RV resort where there are park models, modular buildings, campsites and a café,” he said.

“The last component of this public hearing is the proposed marina expansion to 70 slips from the 55 currently permitted in the lake zoning bylaw.”

Passmore notes that if the public supports Baskill’s development, it would be easier for the board to make a decision to go forward with the necessary bylaws.

“If the public is against the proposal, then the board will have to weigh that input and make a decision,” he says.

“We will likely see the results go to the board in January.”

The public hearing on Baskill’s proposed development takes place at 6 p.m. at the Cedar Heights Community Centre.

Man pulled over twice for drunk driving

By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAff

A 59-year-old Salmon Arm man is facing multiple criminal charges after police caught him impaired and behind the wheel two days in a row.

On Friday, Nov. 25, police responded to a motor-vehicle collision at 30th Street SE and 10th Avenue SE. Inves-

tigating officers learned that a driver involved in the incident, reported to be intoxicated, had left the scene.

Minutes later police stopped the driver on Okanagan Avenue. However, he had switched seats with the passenger, who was behind the wheel.

Both the passenger, a 50-year-old Salmon

Arm man, and the 59-year-old driver involved in the collision were found to have blood alcohol levels three times over the legal limit. The 59-yearold was arrested, both lost their driver’s licences and are facing charges. The vehicle was also impounded.

The following day, police conducting a

speed check on 10th Avenue SE pulled over a different vehicle for speeding. The person behind the wheel was the same 59-year-old man, once again impaired by alcohol.

The man was again arrested and is facing new charges for impaired driving, as well as driving while prohibited.

Runaway Moon’s adaptation of A Small Miracle, Peter Collington’s illustrated story about Christmas in a small city, has no words at all In order to adapt the story that is set on a downtown street and capture the feeling of the cold, crisp air, Runaway Moon’s adaptation is set outside, on the main street of Enderby.

To keep the audience from getting too cold, the production has been set at the Marketplace IGA, with other scenes taking place at a few other Vernon Street locations before finishing up at the Seventh Day Adventist

Carbon Trust cuts not nearly enough The first move in the provincial government’s core review, designed to reduce overall government costs, targets the Pacific Carbon Trust.

But it doesn’t go nearly far enough.

The government is planning to move the trust into the ministry of environment, and reduce its staff and administrative costs. It would be far better to eliminate it.

Bill Bennett, the minister responsible for the review, says the move will save $5.6 million annually by 2015-16. The carbon trust’s staff will be reduced to five from 18. Unfortunately, the government is still spinning the half-truth that the Pacific Carbon Trust (PCT) is actually reducing carbon emissions. All it really does is boost the cost of government projects and initiatives. New schools, for example, cost more because all government agencies – including hospitals and school districts – are required to buy carbon offsets so that the province can claim that it is totally carbon neutral.

Carbon offsets purchased by the PCT, at $25 per tonne, are purchased from the private sector — usually from large carbon emitters to build projects that reduce the amount of carbon they emit. What is left unsaid is that most of these projects would likely be built anyway.

The current BC Liberal government continues to mouth platitudes about carbon reduction, even as it proposes a number of LNG plants that would certainly boost the amount of carbon emitted in the province. However, if the plants are built and natural gas begins to replace coal as the source of electricity in countries like China, worldwide carbon emissions will decrease. That type of effort towards reducing carbon is far superior to the smoke and mirrors of the Pacific Carbon Trust.

OPINION

Envying the adaptability of canines It’s getting colder out there by the day, which makes it harder to go for my daily walk.

I’m trying to exercise more and eat healthier these days. The only problem is that when my feet get cold, the cold just seems to go right through my whole body and I never seem to warm up.

The human body is not built for the cold.

Dogs, on the other hand, have apparently adapted well over the millennium to the cold. I didn’t know this until the other day when I was out walking, and happened speak to a woman who was out walking her dog.

I commented on the cold weather and happened to query if her dog minded going for a walk on such cold days. She told me, in fair detail, all about an article she read concerning dog’s paws and their whole circulatory system, and how they have adapted over time to surviving outdoors in the cold of winter.

According to a recent study published in the journal Veterinary Dermatology (which I was able to

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray find on the Internet), the internal structure of dogs’ paws is constructed to help prevent their feet from freezing while outdoors in cold temperatures. Though the pads of dogs’ paws may lack the warm fur that covers the rest of their body, they posses a built-in, intricate heat-transfer system that serves to immediately warm blood cooled by exposure or contact with snow and ice.

Dr. Hiroyoshi Ninomiya, of the Yamazaki Gakuen University of Tokyo, Japan, and a team of scientists that used electron microscopes to observe the feet of domesticated dogs, found that within the footpad, each dog had veins that were extremely close to arteries.

This closeness of the

veins and arteries ensures that heat is able to be conducted from the circulatory system to the area that is experiencing cooling.

In more simple terms, as a dog steps outside and its feet begin to cool down rapidly, the heart is able to pump warm blood to the feet quickly by utilizing the artery that is in close proximity to the neighbouring veins in the footpads.

This unique circulatory adaptation ensures that dogs do not freeze, as the blood is warmed up before returning to the body.

This evolutionary circulatory system adaptation does not exist in humans.

In order to venture outdoors in the winter, we humans must rely on warm footwear, plain and simple.

Now take something like the traditional kamik or mukluk worn by the Inuit, which utilized up to five layers of seal or caribou skin, depending on temperature, to cope with the snow, ice and freezing temperatures of the far north. It worked and still does, not that you see too many people wearing the real thing.

Modern footwear, by

contrast, can be made of a plethora of natural and/ or manmade materials to protect and insulate one’s feet from the elements. The stores are full of boots of every description. Some are good, some are but a fashion statement. All I know is that a good pair of winter boots should be waterproof, have good traction and fit well.

The problem with having to buy winter boots is that good ones are expensive.

One cannot help but envy the circulatory adaptation of canines.

Anyway, I think I’ll head on over to thrift store and see if they’ve got a pair of real leather Sorels kicking around. Up until 2000, they were made in Canada for Canadian winters, with leather uppers and felt liners. Add a pair of heavy wool socks and you’re set for winter. If not, I can always start saving up for a new pair.

Maybe I can put them on hold and buy one boot at a time.

Either way, I don’t plan on heading outdoors this winter without proper winter boots.

VIEW POINT

Blind Bay plan sets dangerous precedent It appears to me that Mr. Dan Baskill is asking for the moon here, in hopes of acquiring a satellite or two.

What he is requesting is permission to build a small city, with stores, post office, campground, police station, etc.

This is totally unreasonable, adding insult to injury for the general public, and Blind Bay residents in particular. We already have most of these services nearby.

Allowing any part of this unreasonable development sets a dangerous precedent.

If Mr. Baskill can claim part of Shuswap Lake, and bend it to his financial gain, where does that leave the rest of Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s

ability to control future developments of a similar nature?

This lake was pristine, but I can see a marked decline in the quality of water we take from this drinking water reservoir. What would happen to Mr. Baskill’s proposition if he were to put such an idea forth to any other drinking water reservoir?

Try Vancouver’s water supply, or Victoria’s sacred holding.

That would be criminal, to say the least.

This flies in the face of all those people who volunteered hours and many kilometers to manifest the important official community plan.

Getting back to the satellites, Mr. Baskill is asking us to believe that his treated effluent

will not run downhill, just as Salmon Arm’s sewage does not affect the water quality in Tappen Bay. Ultimately, it all runs downhill and, in this case, it will carry the thousands of chemicals and pharmaceuticals that no treatment plant has yet eliminated.

Ten years ago, I drank from Tappen Bay. It wasn’t bad. Last summer, I sampled a mouthful from the same area and it was terrible.

I am asking politicians to use their power to stop this insane frenzy of development.

Our very lives depend on it.

Carol Ferguson, Tappen

Harper has lost moral authority The results in the four byelections should serve as a wake up call for complacent Conservatives.

Stephen Harper’s authoritarian style of governing is evident every time he belittles an opponent or avoids answering a question.

Mister Harper has

no time for alternative ideas, no interest in justifying his actions and no tolerance for democratic compromise.

The lofty Conservative principles he once espoused have been replaced by the age-old corrupting practices of bribery, kickbacks, se-

SilverBacks Hockey

crecy and deception.

The ongoing Senate scandal is the most obvious example. Unfortunately, there isn’t an alternative leader in the Conservative party with enough moral courage to confront this misguided egotist.

OPEN HOUSE

PUBLIC APPEAL

Blind Bay Resort Development Application, Bylaws 700-65, 701-65, 900-2 Letter to the Editor – November 24, 2013 I am writing to our communities surrounding the Shuswap Lake, to call your attention to our specific development: As many of you know, we have applied to the CSRD to rezone our property to permit the development of our prime beachfront land into 19 RV sites. We have submitted the entire resort to a Comprehensive Development zone, to guarantee the private and public uses continue exactly as they do now in accordance to the vision our family has had for this park and community. It is a plan that works, that brings jobs, cash, and security to a lovely residential community, and a future base of home-owners as our guests near retirement age. Without the approval to proceed, we are at risk of joining the number of failed developments that have become blights on the face of our communities, as our lender faces their realities with us. Your voice can influence this!

There are a few people who have made it their singular purpose to oppose any and all development, regardless of consequence to a community, who further their cause by spreading misconceptions. We have heard time and again that we are secretly (if not openly) planning a high-density residential trailer park, that could not be further from the truth. Any person who would tour our resort would see this is a fallacy, and a careful review of our CD zoning text would confirm this. We must have a private component to our public uses to repay our substantial investment, and to ensure we remain viable. This private component functions much like our public, in that we attract recreational families only, who bring their children, family and friends here each summer to experience this fine region. And they come with much-needed cash for our local businesses to exist. For the hundreds of campers and park model rentals we do each summer, we stand as a place of last-resort to access our coveted lakefront. They depend on us!

Our resort plans stand on their own merit, with seven years of experience to validate our new business model. We know we have contributed positively to our local community, both from an environmental point of view, and from a business one no matter how some try to disregard it.

Check us out at www.blindbayresort.com!

We need your help! A collective show of support for us of course encourages our family, but it does so much more: It tells the CSRD that you do care, and you do wish to be heard and considered. It tells our friends who lead the environmental cause that you are watching and do wish to be included in their considerations and plans. A balanced approach makes it possible for all parties to succeed, as it takes money to fund the very changes we’d all like to see occur. This money comes from taxation, personal and corporate contributions, and the buy-in of a majority.

And it takes new people, who come to settle in to this area to take the torch forward. Together, we can protect this lake, care for our existing community members, and welcome newcomers who are part of our future.

On December 5th, at 6:00PM at the Cedar Heights Community Center, please come prepared to speak for us. Your letter is equally valuable, so at minimum I would ask you to write in support to our CSRD Area Director, Mr. Paul Demenok. Letters must be personally addressed, signed, and submitted to Mr. Paul Demenok, Area C Director, CSRD, at pdemenok@csrd.bc.ca. You may also fax to the CSRD office, at 250-832-3375. I would appreciate a copy as well, so that I may respond to any comments or concerns that you may express.

I may be reached by email, at dbaskill@hotmail.com, cell at 250-803-2595, fax (250) 6754744, or in person by appointment at our resort. I will be away until Nov. 30th on a previouslyscheduled family vacation we’ve been anticipating, but invite you to call our office to arrange a tour if interested. Thank you for your support and participation!

Santa rides the rails again The annual CP Rail Holiday Train to support Canadian food banks rolls into Notch Hill at 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13.

Every month food banks in B.C. help 94,000 individuals.

That person could be a neighbour or co-worker who needs help from a food bank. Why? Because there is no typical person that turns to a food bank for help.

Many families are still short of money, even when both parents are working.

Perhaps it’s a senior whose fixed income just doesn’t stretch far enough. It may be someone who is disabled, has a terminal illness or someone who has lost their job and for the first time in their life, has to reach out for help.

Perhaps it’s a single mom, struggling to feed her children because she just doesn’t have enough support.

Unfortunately, children make up close to 30 per cent of the people who need help from our community food banks.

This is a critical time

of year to reach out for donations.

While hunger is a year-round reality for many families, the holidays can bring added pressure to ensure cupboards are not bare.

Many people do not realize the extent of hunger in our province.

This is the 15th year the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train has hit the rails, visiting 150 communities across Canada.

Each event features a boxcar stage, a line up of great musical talent and a contribution to the local food bank.

This year, Juno Award winner Melanie Doane and jazz singer Matt Dusk will perform on the train.

A recording artist and songwriter for more than 15 years, Doane has released seven albums, written seven chart-topping singles, had her music featured on hit television shows such as Brothers and Sisters, Being Erica, Flashpoint, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and travelled numerous times across Canada and the U.S. on various tours and the CP Holi-

Hall. For info, call Barb at 250-675-5308 or Agnes at 250-6753102.

The Sixth Annual Food Drive by White Lake Fire Dept, with door-to-door pick-up takes place Tuesday, Dec. 3 from 6 to 9 p.m.

All donations go to the Sorrento Food Bank – factory packaged, nonperishable items only.

Development Area 3 would allow for seasonal modular buildings; resort residential spaces and accessory use as permitted uses. The minimum parcel size for subdivision would be 290 m² if community sewer and water services are provided and 1 hectare in all other cases, and a maximum of 29 resort lots.

Development Area 5 would allow for passive recreation; open space and accessory use as permitted uses and the minimum parcel sizes for subdivision would be 2,000 m².

Additionally, new definitions are proposed to be added for modular building; motel; resort residential space; park mode; seasonal; and temporary. The definition of a recreational vehicle or travel trailer is also proposed to be amended.

Bylaw No. 701-65 also proposes amending Schedule C, Zoning Maps, which forms part of the South Shuswap Zoning Bylaw No. 701 by: i) rezoning Strata Lot A Section 17 Township 22 Range 10 W6M KDYD, Strata Plan KAS3359 which is more particularly shown outlined in bold red on Schedule 1 attached hereto and forming part of this bylaw and which is also shown outlined in bold blue and labelled DA1 on Schedule 2 attached hereto and forming part of this bylaw, from C5 TOURIST COMMERCIAL to CDC4 COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT ZONE 4 DEVELOPMENT AREA 1; ii) rezoning Strata Lot B Section 17 Township 22 Range 10 W6M KDYD, Strata Plan KAS3359 which is more particularly shown outlined in bold red on Schedule 1 attached hereto and forming part of this bylaw and which is also shown outlined in bold blue and labelled DA2 on Schedule 2 attached hereto and forming part of this bylaw, from C5 TOURIST COMMERCIAL to CDC4 COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT ZONE 4 DEVELOPMENT AREA 2; iii) rezoning that part of Strata Lot C Section 17 Township 22 Range 10 W6M KDYD, Strata Plan KAS3359 lying north of Blind Bay Road, which part is more particularly shown outlined in bold red on Schedule 1 attached hereto and forming part of this bylaw and which is also shown outlined in bold blue and labelled DA3 on Schedule 2 attached hereto and forming part of this bylaw, from RR1 RURAL RESIDENTIAL to CDC4 COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT ZONE 4 DEVELOPMENT AREA 3; iv) rezoning that part of Strata Lot C Section 17 Township 22 Range 10 W6M KDYD, Strata Plan KAS3359 lying south of Blind Bay Road, which part is more particularly shown outlined in bold red on Schedule 1 attached hereto and forming part of this bylaw and which is also shown outlined in bold blue and labelled

Getting tough on child predators FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes The speech from the throne included Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s commitment to introduce further laws to protect our children from child

predators. Child predators destroy the lives of our children. It is the most heinous crime and our government is committed to having sentences reflect this truth.

First, your government will introduce a ‘Victims Bill of Rights’ to restore victims to their rightful place at the heart of our justice system. Your government will end sentencing discounts for child sex offenders. We will end the

practice of automatic early release for serious repeat offenders.

Your government will change the law so that a life sentence means a sentence for life. We have already made sentencing of multiple murders concurrent, that is, a sentence for each of the victims of murder.

Our government will renew its efforts to address the issue of missing and murdered Aboriginal women.

We will also protect

women by defending the constitutionality of Canada’s prostitution laws.

Currently, the crime rate is down, meaning our cracking-downon-crime initiative in our 2006 platform has worked. The concern now is that violent crime related to gangs, guns and drugs is still happening on our streets, and our government will continue to work with the provinces and territories to search, seize and pros-

ecute those that think organized crime is a career option.

Our prisons are not overflowing with offenders simply because we have played hard ball with those who break our laws. Rather, this has been a deterrent for potential offenders. Also, tougher sentencing has kept repeat offenders where they belong – in jail and off our streets.

Sicamous council will be contesting the honour of the district having one of the worst roads in the province.

The SicamousVernon Highway, aka Highway 97A is identified in BCAA’s Worst Roads Survey for 2013.

According to an Oct. 29 letter to council by BCAA president Mark Donnelly, the highway was one of 581 stretches of roadway nominated due to poor surface conditions, safety concerns or congestion problems.

Specific to 97A are concerns relating to poor road signs and road markings.

Mayes pipes up on pot debate

By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAFF

A campaign to legalize marijuana won’t be getting the support of Okanagan-Shuswap Conservative MP Colin Mayes.

In a Nov. 20 speech to the House of Commons, Mayes spoke of Salmon Arm receiving funding from the municipal infrastructure improvement fund to replace the 30-year-old boiler for the swimming pool at the SASCU Recreation Centre.

“Last Saturday evening, I took seven of my 10 grandchildren to the pool,” Mayes told the assembled MPs. “It was great to watch all the children enjoy the wholesome fun

MP Colin Mayes this wonderful facility provides. As I watched everyone, I thought that providing resources to communities for these types of activities for children and families is a priority of good government.”

But his speech was not only to highlight the improvements to the city’s recreational facilities, as Mayes went on to raise the issue of illegal drugs.

“Then the thought came to me: why would any political party want to legalize marijuana, which would only destroy children’s lives and families? Is it not the duty of government to protect the health and safety of its citizens?” he asked.

“I said a little prayer while I stood at the poolside. I petitioned that our grandchildren would never live under a government that would legalize marijuana,” he finished.

Mayes’ remarks come following widely circulated statements from Justin Trudeau, leader to the Liberal Party of Canada, in support of the decriminalization of marijuana.

Christmas gifts from gardeners GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway

Well, I guess winter has finally arrived and we can call it a wrap for the year, even though some of us still manage to find things to do out there in the cold until we absolutely have to surrender to the snows.

Then it’s cleaning up, putting the tools away and, the best part, settling down to a big pot of tea with a cozy blanket on our lap to flip through the pages of our favorite garden books, magazines and seed catalogues to scheme and dream about next years gardening season.

Knowledge of certain plants and how to use them has been around for almost 35,000 years.

Early peoples had knowledge of many plants through food gathering techniques.

For instance, the 10,000 year old ‘Iceman’ discovered in the Alps in 1991, had two species of fungi in his pouch – a highly combustible one for starting fires and the other used for an immune booster.

Around 8,500 BC in Mesopotamia, they were raising animals and growing grains

and, by 8,000 BC, cereals and legumes were under cultivation.

Around the year 3,000 BC, manuals for the use of herbs in medicine were written and, in the 1700s, codes and rules were put down on paper on maintaining irrigation canals and ditches and property laws regarding gardening.

Over the centuries, trade of food and plants by ship and land between villages, cities and nations have connected people from all points of the globe.

Botanists continue to search the planet for new and exciting specimens, and the art, science and pastime of agriculture and horticulture have become well established.

The definition of gardening is, “The practice of growing and cultivating plants as part of horticulture.”

But it should go on to say that gardening is not only essential to our very existence, but it also plays an enormous role in the fabric of societies all over the world.

Gardens are used for practical purposes to feed people and animals, but they also have so much more to offer us and in so many different ways.

They are used as places to be calm and to heal, as sanctuaries for peace, reflection and spiritual practice; a spot to connect with nature as well as providing attractive areas for social gatherings

and special occasions such as weddings and parties.

Gardens offer balance in our lives, a reason to be outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, for exercise, a place to think, blow off steam and be creative.

They are a wonderful subject for artists and photographers, fun and enchanting places to play for children and a memory trigger for the elderly, who often love to reflect on their own past gardens and farmsteads.

Gardens bring colour and beauty to the world, provide an important food source to our pollinators, and offer habitat for an amazing variety insects, worms, birds and small animals.

I find it hard to imagine what our communities would look like without the streets that are lined with hedges, flowers, pretty ornamental trees and shrubs, along with the interesting fences, garden gates and ornaments.

Those glorious cascading hanging baskets dangling from the lampposts, and the municipal gardens that offer green spaces and a place to sit and rest are worth every tax dollar to me.

Our nurseries, plant and garden supply stores and florists are always such amazing and delightful places to wander through and shop, and the farmers markets are a magnet for so many, not just

for the freshness of the fruits and vegetables, but to just to experience such a variety of foods, flowers, plants and edibles that we’re so fortunate to have available to us.

In Donna Sinclair’s book, The Spirituality of Gardening, she says, “I believe our gardens to be more than dry soil and cedars huddled against the foundation of our homes; more even than the glorious color and texture, shape and form of a well-loved border that draws passersby to wonder.

Gardens are our connection to the land and to the One who created it.

They are autobiography, memory and hope. Gardeners strive to re-create Eden on their own small pieces of earth.”

We are now entering the Christmas season, when we begin more than ever to reflect and remember our blessings in life and to give and receive gifts.

As for me, and I’m sure for so many others, I’d like to express my thanks, appreciation and gratitude to all of our gardeners, farmers, horticulturists, landscapers, landscape maintenance people and municipal crews, along with the countless others who own or organize the nurseries, florist shops, farmers markets, seed, food, soil and bee keeping businesses, the garden stores, hanging basket suppliers and our

Voters can petition against lease Alternative approval process: Underpass plan rests on land deal.

By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAFF

It will be up to Salmon Arm residents to decide if the city should enter a 10-year lease agreement for land that may eventually be used in the construction of an underpass.

On Monday, city council agreed to initiate an alternative approval process in order to enter into a lease with WH Laird Holdings Ltd. for properties at 641 and 621 Ross Street NE (across from Harbourfront Family Chiropractic and adjacent to the railway tracks).

The city would pay $33,000 annually for a term of 10 years, with

an option to renew for an additional five years.

According to staff, the lots could be used for parking “or some other public use, includ-

the related cost necessitates approval of the electorate, which could be sought through referendum or alternative approval process. He

“If we were to receive electoral response forms numbering that, then council could not proceed with the proposed lease agreement.

City corporate officer Corey Paiement explained that the length of the lease and

said staff recommended the latter as it takes less time and costs “much less for the city.”

“Essentially, what that sets up is 10 per cent of the electors in

Salmon Arm, the number being 1,361. If we were to receive electoral response forms numbering that number, then council could not proceed with the proposed lease agreement,” said Paiement. “Your option at that point in time would be to pursue a referendum at a future date.”

Advertising for the approval process would commence Nov. 27, and response forms would be available at city hall, to be returned by 4 p.m., Jan. 10, 2014.

Couns. Denise Reimer and Alan Harrison said they supported staff’s recommendation, but stressed they would push for a referendum

when it comes to actually constructing an underpass.

“While I’m willing to support an alternative process here, I certainly wouldn’t be for the borrowing of the actual underpass, and I don’t want it misinterpreted that because I support this motion I would somehow want to go to a counter-type petition for the actual borrowing of the money,” said Harrison.

“I’ve always believed that for that amount of money, we would need to go to referendum.”

Fantastic start to season TRAIL TALES Marcia Beckner It has been a busy fall up on the hill.

It’s amazing how much work goes into ensuring the ski season goes well. Trails are pruned by folks who have “adopted” a trail, a crew has gone out with long pruners to get those branches that drip on the trail when the weather warms and makes the trails icy, culverts have been installed, the stairway at the chalet down to the washrooms at the lower level has been improved, the chalet floor and walls were scrubbed, the chalet cupboards were given spiffy new doors, the stadium has been reconfigured for the loppet and other events, and folks have been investigating access to the clearcuts left by Tolko’s logging this fall with an eye to skiing them. (The vistas are terrific!) With adequate snow, the tracksetters have been packing the lower trails with the snowmobile and some trails have been trackset by the Ginzu groomer. Pretty good for November.

Our new-to-us Piston Bully track setter will

arrive in the next week or so. It was purchased new for the 2010 Olympics and used at the Whistler cross-country venue. After the Olympics it found a home in Saskatchewan doing gentle grooming, so the consensus is that we are getting a machine that will fill our needs for some time to come.

Looking forward to fewer breakdowns and less mechanical work required to keep the machine going.

The Larch Hills Junior Race Team, 80 skiers strong with 12 coaches, has been busy with pre-season training. These athletes, from seven to 18 years, will attend two BC Cups, the BC Championships, OkanaganTeck Cup races, plus take part in our Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet.

Some will qualify for the BC Winter Games in Callaghan Valley late February. Those of Pee Wee and Midget age will compete in the Midget Championships, to be hosted by the Larch Hills Feb. 8-9.

And six of our top racers are gunning for the Haywood Ski Nationals in Cornerbrook, Nfld., March 15 to 22. Kudos to the coaches, parents and supporters. Salmon Arm and the Larch Hills Nordics can be proud of their representation.

On the international scene, Alysson Marshall continues her Olympic quest. She is

Improvements planned for park Families visiting Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park will notice something a little different this year as construction begins on a multi-year project to enhance visitor experiences.

A buffer zone will be created between the Adams River and park facilities, better protecting habitat, states a government press release. Older trails along the river will be closed, rehabilitated and naturalized. Other trails will be improved with new signs and displays.

It’s hoped this will

help to better direct visitors, especially during the salmon run season.

Last season, a number of tourists complained that it was hard to find the spawning area, with some giving up before seeing the world-renowned event.

A new gathering place will welcome large groups, festivals and community events, while a new, smaller day-use area with picnic tables and interpretive information will meet the needs of families and individuals.

With record-breaking numbers of salmon ex-

pected to arrive in 2014, the park upgrade will accommodate the influx of visitors. The parking lot will also be improved and modified so it can expand in times of higher traffic.

This popular day-use park also offers hiking, mountain biking, crosscountry skiing, snowshoeing and wildlife viewing. Visitors are asked to remain out of designated closed areas for safety reasons.

Construction in Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park is expected to be complete by September 2014.

Holiday train returns to Chase The brightly lit holiday train will soon be pulling into Chase and helping out those in need.

This is the 15th year the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train has hit the rails visiting 150 communities across Canada.

The Holiday Train will embark on its journey on Nov. 26 from Beaconsfield, Que., finishing up in Port Coquitlam, on Dec. 16.

Come out and support your local food bank and enjoy the festive CP Holiday Train arriving in Chase at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14 across from the Chase RCMP office.

Each year the event features a boxcar stage, a lineup of great musi-

cal talent and a contribution to the local food bank.

Everyone who attends is encouraged to donate food or cash which stays in their community.

Just by adding one item into the food donation bin at the local grocery store or business, you can help to fight hunger and help families in the community.

Every month food banks in B.C. help 94,000 individuals.

Many people don’t realize that it could be their neighbour or co-worker who needs help from a food bank Why? Because there is no typical person that turns to a food bank for help.

It may be a family where both parents are

It may be a senior whose fixed income just doesn’t stretch far enough. It may be someone who is disabled, has a terminal illness or someone who has lost their job and for the first time in their life, has to reach out for

help.

It may be a single mom who is struggling to feed her children because she just doesn’t have enough support.

In fact children make up close to 30 per cent of the people who need help from our community food banks.

This is a critical time of year to reach out for donations and the vol-

unteers of the Chase Hamper Society are doing just that.

In 2012, 237 Christmas hampers were provided and 125 children received gifts at the Community Toy Shop.

While hunger is a year-round reality for many families, the holidays can bring added pressure to ensure cupboards are not bare.

Adequate sleep is essential to human health and safety, as it helps men, women and children alike function to their fullest capacity.

addressed. If necessary, men and women can store their cell phones in the kitchen or another room in the house overnight, reducing the likelihood that sleep will be interrupted by incoming phone calls, emails or text messages. Noise distractions, such as a partner snoring, can be remedied with ear plugs.

■ Replace mattresses and pillows if necessary. Some sleeping problems are a byproduct of mattresses and pillows that are old and don’t offer enough support.

Quality mattresses can last a long time but should be replaced when they no longer provide a comfortable sleeping environment.

Mattresses that make noise, feel lumpy or sag should be replaced. In addition, if sleeping partners routinely wake each other up when one person gets up to use the restroom or get a glass of water, then chances are that mattress is no longer capable of providing an optimal sleep environment.

Pillows should be comfortable but still provide support.

Pillows also should be cleaned regularly to ensure they are not covered in allergens, which can

negatively affect an individual’s sleep.

■ Don’t eat dinner or drink alcohol too close to bedtime. The body needs adequate time to digest meals, so individuals who routinely eat shortly before going to bed might find it hard to fall asleep because the body is still working to digest foods. That can be uncomfortable. Alcohol should also be avoided before going to bed, as it can negatively affect the body’s ability to get a deep sleep. Though alcohol right before bed might help men and women fall asleep more quickly, the sleep they get won’t be as restorative as if they had abstained from alcohol in the hours before they went to bed.

Helena Enns was born in Warman, SK, on December 24, 1926. The family moved to a homestead in Carrot River, SK when she was a young girl. She left home as a young woman and headed for the Okanagan, where she picked fruit and worked several different jobs. She was a fiercely independent woman, and did not settle down to have a family until she was in her late 20’s.

She and Clarence raised their children in Prince George, BC, moved to Nipawin, SK in 1975 where they farmed until 1988. They retired to Vernon, and then settled in Armstrong in 1992.

Helen was multi talented; she could cook, sew, and clean- but she also was an appliance repairman, carpenter, farm hand, and vet. She could do minor mechanical repairs and often assisted her husband, Clarence, in the machine shop. She could drive almost anything (including a school bus) and wasn’t ever afraid to try. She even learned to weld in her 50’s. There was very little she couldn’t do. After Clarence passed away in 1997 she still worked as a companion/caregiver for several years.

Helen was proud of her children and did all she could for them- and she LOVED her grandchildren.

She did many things with them and was an active participant in their lives as long as she was able.

They will have many fond memories of time spent with Grandma.

Helen will be lovingly remembered by her sons: Bob (Adele) of Vernon, Dave of Winnipeg, MB; daughters: Shelley (Daren) of Salmon Arm, and Cheryl (Brad) Rice of Armstrong; grandchildren: Jason, Stephanie, Brandi, Crystal, Jordan Josh; 3 Step daughters: Sybil, Ann, Clara; brothers: Bill, Corny, John; sisters: Suzie, Marge, Kathy, Betty; as well as many extended family and friends.

A funeral service for Helen was held at 11:30 am on Monday, November 25th, 2013 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church (3335 Patterson Street, Armstrong) with prayers recited at 7:00 pm on Sunday, November 24, 2013 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church.

Christmas Trees Robert Babakaiff of Arro Wood Heat Services has been in business for 5 years. A 45-year resident of Salmon Arm, he believes in buying his products locally.

After being laid off from Coe/Newnes, he saw there was a need for a reliable wood heat technician.

He became certified in the WETT program – which is a Canadian recognized association, allowing him to be able to inspect, install and maintain wood burning stoves and fireplaces.

His services include chimney sweeping, estimates and advice on purchasing and installation of wood burning stoves, such as size needed for the square footage, and the best stove to meet your needs. Robert’s motto “Burning Clean = More Green” not only refers to the money saved when keeping your stove or fireplace maintained, it also refers to the environment, as the new stoves burn cleaner and more efficiently.

Repeat customers are spreading the word of his fair pricing and thorough job.

For all your wood heat needs, call Robert today for an estimate.
