completely buried or have become so icy that they are treacherous to walk on. This seems to occur quite commonly in the areas around both malls, as pedestrians make their way to and from their shopping.

Even though the city and residents do their best to keep the sidewalks clear, sometimes the winter weather makes it near impossible to achieve. As well as foot traffic, often the mobility scooters are being forced onto the roadways as their little wheels don’t do well on snow, making it impossible for the (usually) elderly driver to get through on the sidewalk. A caution to all vehicle drivers – please be alert and take care when driving past these people as we don’t want to see anyone get hurt.

For those people who want to walk to get some exercise, there are several alternatives to risking injury by walking on the roads. Shaw Centre allows walkers to walk around inside above the seating, and it is safe and warm.

For those who prefer to stay outdoors while walking, I would recommend the purchase

of a set of ice grippers that fit onto boots to make it safe to walk on the ice.

I took a nice walk out from the wharf to the wildlife sanctuary not too long ago, and although the path had some slippery sections, I really enjoyed the beautiful views. I often photograph there and notice people taking strolls along the path enjoying the views and sites of nature as well. If you do choose to take this walk remember that there are no dogs allowed in the nature park.

Whenever I walk in this park, commonly referred to by locals as the bird sanctuary, I like to peer carefully between the cattails and watch the many different types of birds as they move around amongst them. Even in the dead of winter there is often movement among the dry foliage and a short wait usually reveals a small bird flitting about enjoying itself. To me it is always uplifting to watch these little creatures as they go about their day seemingly at peace with with the world around them.

At one point along the path there are several trees that one or more busy beavers have gnawed to the ground. I also like to stop several times while walking this path to enjoy the spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains. No matter

The Jotterands traveled to the Republic of Panama in February 2013. From Panama City (where Frederica is pictured above) they traveled extensively through the country and ended up in Bocas del Toro, on the Caribbean side. They preferred the places at higher elevation such as Altos del Maria, El Valle de Anton and Boquete.

They found Panama City to be a little disappointing because the heat and the intense noise of the traffic.

Nevertheless, the sixhour tour on the Canal and two locks was a highlight.

By Ted Hillary The annual Salmon Arm Christmas Bird Count was successfully held on Sunday December 22, 2013. There were 27 participants in 8 teams actively searching in a 24 kilometre circle around Salmon Arm. In addition, there were 9 people counting all the birds at their backyard feeders. The weather for the most part was cooperative, with temperatures around freezing and with good visibility.

75 species of birds were seen on the count day.

In addition, 2 other species were observed during the count week, for a total of 77 species. These numbers are a high average for the Salmon Arm count.

In total 5517 individual birds were counted. This is below average, probably because the Salmon Arm Bay was mostly frozen over. Also, many birds had left the area during the cold weather in the previous weeks.

The most common bird was the European starling with 870 birds. This was followed in numbers with 539 mallards and 492 pigeons. Forty red tailed hawks were counted, an unusually high number.

Other high counts were 44 Eurasian Collared doves and 122 Northern Flickers There were 4 varieties of owls seen, including 8 Northern Pygmy Owls, a high number for this area.

A Great Gray owl posed for pictures in the Larch Hills area, much to the excitement of the observers.

The other species of owls were a Short-Eared Owl close to the mouth of the Salmon River, and 2 Great Horned Owls near the end of North Broadview.

A couple of rarities were seen, both only recorded once before in the past 25 years of the Christmas Bird Count. Two Snow Buntings were seen in the Tappen area. This is a rare winter visitor and sent the observers to their bird books in order to make a positive identification. The other rare bird for this time of year was a Dunlin, a small shore bird. It was feeding with some ducks in a small lead in the ice in front of the Peter Jannink Nature Park.

Every year it is the anticipation of seeing something rare which

There is also real value in having this annual record as it is a good indicator on how our environment is faring.

SILK'N FACE Anti-aging

Last week I summarized the “Dirty Dozen” fruits and vegetables that should be only purchased in organic.

They are called the dirty dozen because they have been found to have the highest concentrations of dangerous pesticides when grown conventionally. This week I want to provide the list the USA-based Environmental Working Group (www.ewg.org) labelled as the “Clean Fifteen.”

This list consists of 15 fruits and vegetables that the EWG has found to have the lowest levels of pesticides when they are grown conventionally and are safer to consume when not organic.

The EWG did not rank these in any specific order, but they are as follows: • Asparagus • Mangos • Avocados • Mushrooms • Cabbage • Onions • Cantaloupe • Papaya • Sweet corn • Pineapple • Eggplant • Sweet peas • Grapefruit • Sweet potatoes • Kiwi As you can see, many of the fruits and vegetables on this list have heavier skins or peels which prevent a lot of the chemicals from being absorbed into the edible portion. Despite this

protective layer, it is still advised to hand-wash them before cutting or serving.

In the past 2 articles I have just focussed on the topic of limiting your exposure to pesticides. I have not touched on the topic of genetically-modified foods. This topic is an extremely controversial and one that elicits strong opinions from most people. My recommendations are to avoid them whenever possible. The research on GMO safety (when it is unbiased and not done by the companies selling GMO seeds or pesticides) is suggesting there are health risks with consuming these unnatural foods.

As mentioned last week in my “Dirty Dozen” article, in an ideal situation it would be nice to be able to afford to only eat 100% organic foods to ensure your toxin exposure is minimized. However, if you find your grocery budget does not allow for you to purchase only organic fruits and vegetables, the above 15 are foods the EWG suggests are the safer foods when they are grown conventionally.

For assistance with improving your health, call Dr. Gage at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 8030224 for an assessment.

For those of you who have not yet visited the centre, located above Munro’s Sorrento Prescriptions in the heart of Sorrento, here is your chance to view it and meet Judy Deringer, the nurse practitioner. The community is proud of having been successful in obtaining a nurse practitioner through the NP4BC program sponsored by the Ministry of Health and Interior Health. Judy’s salary is paid by Interior Health; the facility overhead is the responsibility of Sorrento & Area Community Association (SACA).

The centre is fully equipped and the nurse practitioner is able to assess patients, order diagnostic tests such as x-rays, CT scans, blood work and ultra sounds. She can diagnose and treat chronic health conditions, write prescriptions, refer patients to

A healthier sweetener

Blackstrap molasses is an extract obtained by repeatedly boiling sugar cane. After the third boil of the sugar syrup, the majority of sucrose from the original sugar cane juice gets crystallized and this results in blackstrap molasses. Though this form is still mostly sugar by calories, this molasses is healthier then other natural sweeteners, as it is loaded with nutrients. Other sweeteners like sugar, artificial sweeteners like aspartame and saccharine lack nutrients. So molasses is a natural healthier sweetener compared to other sweeteners.

Blackstrap molasses is rich in manganese, iron, copper potassium, calcium magnesium, vitamin B6, and selenium. One tablespoon of blackstrap molasses provides up to 20% of the daily recommended nutrients. Moreover, blackstrap molasses provides more iron for fewer calories and is totally fat-free. Two teaspoons contains not more than 32 calories.

Blackstrap molasses is a very good source of calcium. Again just two teaspoonfuls will provide 11% of your daily recommended intake of calcium, 14% of copper, 18% of manganese and 10% of potassium. This molasses is the best type of sweetener for menstruating women, as just two teaspoons of blackstrap molasses will provide up to 13.3% of the daily recommended in take of iron.

When looking for this molasses in the stores, look for organic molasses made from organic sugarcane and one that does not contain sulphur. It should be stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place. After the container is opened, it is usually good for up to six months. Blackstrap is sold at our local grocery stores like Askew’s and can often be found in health food stores.

Switching to this form of sweetener from refined sugar would be one simple way to a healthier eating habit. Make sure you still watch you sugar intake. For those with a sweet tooth, but who have to watch calories, this is a win-win formula. Be sweet, healthy and happy.

Readers with enquiries may contact Kosha Vaidya via email at koshahealing@gmail.com. specialists and assist patients to manage most chronic health problems.

The centre accepts patients Monday to Thursday, 9:00 a.m. – noon and 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. Call 250803-5251 to make an appointment.

You are invited to check out the newest addition to the South Shuswap community at the grand opening, Friday, January 17, from 3:00–6:00 p.m.

Letters to the Editor

City Councillors are responding to articles questioning the Ross St. Underpass land lease proposal, a plan to begin spending $330,000 of our tax dollars on a project with a final price tag of $9 million.

They seem to have three primary concerns.

The first is that the current train track crossing is “a barrier to tourist and local traffic.” Perhaps, but how serious is this “barrier”? No one on Council asked this question before unanimously endorsing the proposal. We checked actual train frequencies and wait times, and found there is no barrier for 9 of 10 trips because no train is in the crossing. The other 10% of the time there is a wait of five minutes or less. Is this a problem requiring a $9 million solution?

“The number one concern is safety.” As we have pointed out, a maximum wait of 5 minutes 10% of the time is less unsafe than other areas of the city that are more than 5 minutes away from a fire hall or ambulance dispatch – all the time. Next year, Fire Chief Brad Shirley will produce a map of the city showing areas more than 10 minutes from a fire hall. Perhaps then the Mayor and Council will shift their safety concerns from the waterfront to these less-served neighbourhoods.

“Approving spending up to $330,000 now doesn’t mean we’re committed to a $9 million underpass.” True, but we’re being asked to accept Council spending tax dollars with little or no information on why it is needed, how it would affect the downtown, where the $9 million would come from, or how it will affect other spending priorities and our taxes.

Although poorly publicized, Salmon Arm voters have been given the opportunity to visit City Hall before 4:00 p.m. Friday, January 10th to sign an Elector Response form to vote against this proposal. Even if you don’t make this deadline, if you think that this plan is as ill-considered as we do, you can still let Council know that it’s their responsibility to be informed–and inform you–when spending large amounts of your money.

Open letter to Mayor and Council

Shame on you for trying to gamble with taxpayers’ money!

After reading the terms of the proposed lease between the City of Salmon Arm and Laird Holdings Ltd. it appears to me that Council is attempting to sneak the acquisition of land for the proposed underpass in through the “back door” instead of including the land purchase in a referendum on the underpass.

Artificial deadlines have been created to give the appearance of urgency in order to pass this piece of legislation.

When the Council of the day delayed a decision on the underpass until 2014 it was to revisit the circumstances, which may lead to the construction of an alternate crossing, not necessarily to build it.

Council knew this date was coming but made no attempt to and has had 10 years to compile, consult and inform the citizens with verifiable data, not “guesstimates” of conditions that may war-

ceed, and when all the pertinent information is gathered and it is determined that an underpass at this location is not the best option for access across the tracks and the referendum fails? According to the terms of this agreement as it is now written the taxpayers and future Councils will be on the hook for 10 years paying rent for a piece of land they didn’t need in the first place. This Council has failed to address the necessary safeguards, on behalf of the citizens of this community, by not tying this lease contract to the passage or failure of passage of a referendum on the underpass.

Pull this piece of legislation immediately and give the community the honesty and good government it deserves.

After visiting this site I find that there is sufficient land for any construction, staging, etc.

Section 38 (1) of the Community Charter allows for the temporary closure of roads by the City for such a purpose. There is no need to lease this land! As for the need for a parking lot, the City has recently sold two parking lots.

As far as the areas of Statutory Right of Ways, the City can expropriate the necessary lands needed under the Development Permit process. There is no need to lease (rent) this land for 10 years, etc. for $350,000.00 and end up with nothing to show for it.

SALMON ARM IS THE BEST PLACE FOR CHRISTMAS

What a pleasant surprise to see a picture of Salmon Arm on the front page of the Dec. 23rd Vancouver Province. It showed many of the 1,000 people packed in the Lordco parking lot, looking at the entertainers on the CPR Holiday Train.

The huge headline above it said SANTA’S TOWN. In smaller print underneath: People in Salmon Arm celebrate Christmas like nowhere else in B.C.

SAM COOPER SAYS IT’S A BEAUTIFUL TOWN

Page 2 had three pictures and Page 3 had one picture and an article by Sam Cooper. The publicity was worth a million dollars! I emailed a thank you to writer Sam Cooper on behalf of Salmon Arm and he replied: “Hi Sally, thanks for your email. It is a beautiful town with warm people. Hopefully stays that way for decades to come!”

As a student journalist, Sam had interned at the Salmon Arm Observer for four months in 2005, so he knows the town.

“My family also has owned a cabin in Celista for over 50 years, so I have deep roots in the Shuswap.”

CRAIG PULSIFER ASSIGNED AS PHOTOGRAPHER

Photographer Craig Pulsifer said it was an honour to be assigned by an editor of the Province to take pictures, with the Holiday Train as the focus. He submitted dozens of images of local landmarks, businesses and townsfolk. For the Haney Heritage shot, he felt it needed a person so he set the camera on a tripod, called the family dog and did a self-portrait. www. craigpulsifer.com

DELI ACROSS FROM ART GALLERY IS IN PHOTO

Cookie Langenfeld, president of the downtown business association, was interviewed. Sam Cooper phoned her at Culinary Inspirations, a week before the article came out on Dec. 23 and said he was writing about Salmon Arm for the Province. She was busy serving customers her gourmet and specialty foods and answered his questions as best she could.

He was very patient. She thought it would be in the Living section.

Every morning Cookie buys newspapers for her deli customers to read. She was ecstatic when she saw the front page of the Province! It had a huge picture of people watching and listening to entertainers on the CPR Holiday Train. “What a great plug for our community,” she said.

CREDIT UNION REBRANDS ITS NAME

The Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union was rebranded in 2012 and is now doing business as SASCU Credit Union.

It has two branches in Salmon Arm: Downtown and Uptown, one in Sorrento and one in Sicamous. Membership stands at 18,825.

FREE USE OF SASCU’S MEETING ROOM

The Salmon Arm Uptown Branch of SASCU Credit Union, which opened beside Askew’s Uptown on September 3, 2013, has a meeting room that is available for local organizations to use at no charge. It is called the Community

Orchard Room. The eligibility guidelines are standard with those of other credit unions which offer a community room.

Sherri Funfer, SASCU’s marketing administrator, wrote: “As part of our Community Sponsorship Program, we provide the room to local non-profit, registered charities/societies, service groups or sports teams. It requires at least two weeks’ notice.”

The application form is on the website, www.sascu.com.

Drag down In Our Community and click on Community Orchard Room. Read the guidelines, then print and deliver, or submit the form by email.

ON DECEMBER 23rd THE CITY OF SALMON ARM WAS PACKED WITH PRE-CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS

It was so different from one year ago, because Zellers in Piccadilly had closed on August 1, 2012. Last year many people in the Revelstoke-Shuswap area did the majority of their Christmas shopping in Vernon or Kamloops because each had a Walmart. On Dec. 23rd our stores were packed with shoppers!

On December 24 they were not as busy as the day before but that is typical. The busiest on Christmas Eve day was Askew’s downtown. Probably because shoppers were familiar with the displays and didn’t mind bumping into other carts in the narrow aisles, they enjoyed meeting old friends who were home for the holidays, and they could shop in other stores downtown and do their banking.

SHUSWAP SINGERS STARTED REHEARSALS

Geoff Benson, president of Shuswap Singers, invites you to join the community choir, especially if you are a tenor or soprano. Thursday evening weekly rehearsals began yesterday at 7 p.m. at the Salvation Army New Hope Community Church. The choir is commencing its sixth decade. According to history on its website, three of the original members of the choir are still singing with it: Clara Anderson, Tom Brighouse and Bert Revel. www.shuswapsingers.ca

VIC BATES WAS THRILLED WITH YOUR TRIBUTES

Developer and businessman Vic Bates died of cancer at 9 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 20, when Lakeshore News came out containing my column with many tributes to him. The tributes had been read to him by his wife Alice, who said he was thrilled!

EMPTYING MY FREEZER OVER THE HOLIDAYS

I decided not to add any more food to my freezer until I have eaten all the frozen soups, stews, fruits, etc. Some were

more than a year old. I hardly shopped for groceries for a few weeks. How is your freezer or freezing compartment?

Are you a food hoarder?

WHEAT BELLY AUTHOR COMES TO THE OKANAGAN

Some of my friends had a great improvement in their health and lost their belly after reading Wheat Belly. It was written

by Dr. William Davis, a former cardiologist who confines his practice to prevention and reversal of coronary disease in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He also produced the Wheat Belly Cookbook in which he advises eating more healthy whole grains.

Dr. Davis and dietician Julie Daniluk, bestselling author of Meals That Heal Inflammation, will be in Vernon on Thurs., Jan. 23. Doors open at 6:30, presentations from 7 to 9:30.

Tickets are $40 available at www.okinhealth.com/events.

The two will not be promoting a diet. This is a movement called the Wheat Free Lifestyle. There is no product to buy.

Simply eliminate wheat and enjoy the instant benefits to your health and feeling of well-being.

KHORASAN, AN ANCIENT GRAIN FROM MIDDLE EAST

I boiled a 750-gram bag of Khorasan wheat and made kootia, a dish served by Ukrainians during the Christmas season.

The grain is grown in Armstrong and Lumby and is cleaned and packaged by Fieldstone Organics on Schubert Road outside Armstrong. It was so clean! When I was a child on a farm outside Watson, Sask., we children had to pick out the weed seeds from wheat my father brought from a granary. Mother boiled the hard red wheat on the wood stove for four hours, till every kernel split and was soft.

Khorasan didn’t take four hours to cook, and the soft kernels were delicious when eaten by themselves! I mixed them with a syrup of water, honey and ground poppy seeds and enjoyed the kootia so very much. I froze it in meal-sized containers and will enjoy it for weeks.

To see the other organic products that are available, go to www.fieldstoneorganics.ca. They can be purchased locally at the following retail outlets, according to the website: It’s All Good in Blind Bay, IGA and Stocking-Up Shop in Enderby, Fruit World in Sicamous and Co-op in Tappen. In Salmon Arm, Fieldstone’s products are available at DeMilles, Nutters, Shuswap Health Foods, Save-On Foods, and Askew’s Uptown and Downtown.

Continuing to label groups as anti development and perpetuating misinformation only serves to divide the community.

Smart meters not beneficial in outages

One wonders if Tom Fletcher is a real, live person or just another propaganda zombie created by the Fiberal government and BC Liedro to perpetrate its fantasies on a not-so-innocent-public that once-upon-a-time put its trust in government and its agencies. Where else would he get the absolutely preposterous facts he regurgitates with such glib absence of verification? And, to this reader at least, it is blatantly obvious that Fletch the Wretch spends not a moment of his wasted energy attempting to ascertain what goes on in the world outside of his self-possessed bubble. And I will not waste a moment of my time refuting such obvious drivel.

Germany, one of the most tech-savvy nations on earth, and one which vociferously opposes the smart grid technology, is largely the reason why Europe will NOT attain its mandate of 80% saturation by the year 2020.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of municipal, county, state, provincial and national jurisdictions world-wide have imposed bans against this flawed protocol, and some, such as several regional governments in California, have even gone so far as

to make it a criminal offence to install these invasive and lethal devices.

During the recent ice storm in eastern Canada, consumers did not benefit one iota from the fact that Ontario adopted the smart meter program, an idea that former premier Dalton McGuinty admits was a huge mistake. With the resumption of power the cheap, poorly manufactured meters foisted on the innocent public are exploding, burning and creating supplemental problems for repair crews and homeowners and largely going unreported at the behest of the authorities. Not only that, but those customers affected are also paying as much as 400% higher rates than before.

The sad reality is that governments no longer rule their constituents.

Democracy is dying a slow but inevitable death. The precautionary principal is nowhere to be found in the Hansard archives of legislatures anywhere around the globe where corpocracies reign supreme. All of us are subject to the whims of multi-national corporations everywhere. One only needs to follow the money to witness this travesty of civilization.

by Daron Mayes

Candidate for Mayor

Watch out, Nancy Cooper! You might have a challenger in the next municipal election. No, it isn’t the tall, grey-haired grandfather of the Junior Bean Counter you have to worry about; it is the Junior Bean Counter himself.

I got wind of the Junior Bean Counter’s intentions on a New Year’s Day family drive last week. As we drove past one of his favourite fast food joints, he announced that he should run for Mayor of Salmon Arm. If the idea itself wasn’t strange enough, he began to tell us what his campaign platform would be.

“If I was Mayor I would change all the street names to names of Vancouver Canucks players, New England Patriot players and Miami Heat players” he announced to the family. As you can imagine, these are his favourite sports teams.

Upon hearing of his younger brother’s ideas to revamp all of Salmon Arm’s street names, my 12-year-old son rebutted, “That doesn’t make sense. Those names have nothing to do with Salmon Arm!” To be honest, my first thought wasn’t to question his platform as much as it was to question the thought of him running for Mayor at 10 years old.

Obviously, his older brother was more concerned about his political ideas.

After hearing his older brother question his street name proposal he quickly shot back, “You know what? I just saw a sign that said ‘Route 1’. What does that have to do with Salmon Arm?” My wife and I had a good laugh at the Junior Bean Counter’s logic in defending his street name idea. At that point we took the time to explain what “Route 1” was before the conversation in the back of the vehicle deteriorated to a fullout political brawl.

I did tell him that he’d have a hard time getting firefighters to vote for him if he went ahead with changing

all the street names. I explained how it is easier for them to find a fire on 20th Street or 15th Ave then to find it on Lebron James Drive or Daniel Sedin Avenue. He thought about it for awhile and said “That’s okay. The firefighters don’t have to vote for me.”

It is sometimes shocking, but always interesting to get a glimpse into the minds of kids. The street name proposal seems a little crazy, but he did mention later he would also put together a plan to help “old, junky-looking buildings” in town look “nicer and newer.” So as you can see, not all of his ideas are off the wall; although he did talk about painting city hall green and blue to match the Canucks colours.

Don’t worry Nancy, your job is safe for a while, but watch out in 20 years!

$20K for young farmers

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

Community Futures Shuswap has set aside $20,000 of loan funding to assist youth involved in regional 4-H Beef Clubs. Through this very successful lending program, young farmers can access loans of up to $2000 to purchase and grow a calf to a market-ready age. The short-term loan is repaid when the calf has reached maturity and is sold at the annual 4-H Stock Show and Sale. Instead of charging interest on these loans, Community Futures Shuswap collects a 5% administration fee which is paid to the participating 4-H clubs. In 2013 the 4-H Lending Program saw eight loans be issued and repaid for a

total loan value of $14,750. As a result of this partnership, just over $600.00 was paid to two local 4-H clubs to assist with their programming.

Moving forward, The Community Futures Board of Directors has increased the 2014/15 lending cap for the 4-H Beef Club Lending Program to $20,000; creating the opportunity for other young farmers to participate in this worthwhile program.

For more information on this program contact Community Futures Shuswap at 250-803-0156 or visit www.futureshuswap.com.

Dallas Buyers Club

Dallas Buyers Club shares the true story of Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey), a homophobic, bull-riding, hell-raising Texan, who after a work-related accident finds himself diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. With AZT being the only legal drug in the U.S. in 1985 to treat the disease, but depleting Ron’s longevity, he enlists the help of a disgraced doctor (Griffin Dunne) and fellow AIDS victim Rayon (Jared Leto) to traffic unapproved drugs across the border and distribute to paying members of his

own alternative treatment facility. The FDA and other pharmaceutical companies soon catch wind of his actions and force Ron to fight not only for his life, but for the lives and rights of others. For a film shot in 25 days, McConaughey and Leto lost over 60 lbs between them for the roles that are being hailed as their best performances yet.

Dallas Buyers Club shows January 10-16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Salmar Classic Theatre (door prizes to be drawn on Friday and Saturday).

Stalwart ferries of the Interior

While working on a Dept. of Highways survey crew during the winter months, many years ago in Lytton, time off meant exploring the area. Several trips took my buddy Ken Dunn and I across the Fraser River above the town, to the Stein River and the Colonel Victor Spencer Ranch.

The old colonel raised purebred Hereford cattle over there. We’d fish steelhead trout. The interesting part was riding the two-car reaction ferry steered from the rear with a long oar, to guide it to its rocky launch spot. Large cables bounced and jumped against the

surging force of the relentless current.

Years later, as a fishery officer working out of Lillooet, officer Deb Speer and I headed out on a three- day patrol to Clinton, then over Cougar Mountain, and down past Rose Haller’s ranch, to Big Bar on the Fraser River. We had the task of hooking up with our two DFO Native salmon creel counters on the dipnet sockeye fishery. Again, I was fascinated by the reaction ferry, angling across the mighty river as sheep hunters with horse trailers converged on the area.

Now to Revelstoke.

The mighty Columbia River had two reaction ferries, before clearing began to harness the river with dams. One at 12 mile, the other at 24 mile, up from the former settlement and mill town of Arrowhead, called Sidmouth. It is at 12 mile, our story begins. It was getting close to Christmas, as brother-in-law Ivan and I began to head out on a final whitetail deer

hunt. Arriving at the 12 mile ferry, one could see Celgar’s (logging company) bundled logs, coming down river, accompanied by large ice pans, as the river began to freeze.

Breaking cold morning light showed a chain stretched across the apron ramp, as the operator approached. The reaction ferry wasn’t going anywhere, as he felt it too dangerous.

With a mindset of determination, Ivan approached a minibus of loggers who had arrived to cross. Talking to the driver, and within seconds, the chain was dropped, our truck was moved, and the minibus shot onto the ramp, then onto the ferry deck. The small International tractor motor kicked into life, and we crossed with cables bouncing, and ice chunks deflecting and spinning off the ferry’s hulk.

Those two river ferries have been gone for many years of course, and the motor vessel ferry, the MV Galena, now plies the waters of

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley Upper Arrow lake from Shelter Bay to Galena Bay, in which brings to mind another story. It’s again close to the festive season, as Ivan and I are off to another deer hunt on Ollie’s road near Trout Lake. With a Chambers chip truck and trailer, a car, and our 4 x 4 the thrum of the Galena’s engines purr in the cold predawn morning light. Ice chunks floating on the lake surface, bounce off the hull. Suddenly, a deckhand walks past our steamed up truck windows, as the engines slow to stop. The large metal and wood apron is dropped now, to approach a near exhausted swimming whitetail doe deer. With help, she climbed aboard, and was taken across. Approaching the landing dock at Galena Bay, the captain slowed the vessel so she could saunter off to the sur-

rounding woods.

There is a wealth of information about the Columbia River’s early days, Arrowhead, and Sidmouth in the history of Revelstoke. As well, a book by Denis Marshall entitled “Sawdust Caesars,” depicts the early history of the CPR/logging/ large mill at Arrowhead.

My memories are of the cable ferries that used the current, and of the river to transport vehicles and passengers in a bygone era!

HURTIG, Patricia Edna March 31, 1931 - December 27, 2013 Mom, Pats as many knew her, was born in Vancouver, BC. Pats married Bert Neumann in the 1950’s and they had two sons, Michael Neumann of Princeton, BC and Brian Neumann of Salmon Arm, BC. Pats and Bert separated and in 1970, Cecil Hurtig came into her life and they were a happy couple until Cecil’s passing in 2005. Cecil and Pats lived in White Rock, BC when they were first married and then later moved to Armstrong where they lived on two different farms over the years. Raising and caring for horses was one of Mom’s passions. Eventually they moved to Salmon Arm to be close to their grandkids. Cecil and Mom loved their time with them and many a fine laugh was had as they grew into young ladies. The many who knew Mom will miss her; Mom’s family, her sons Michael & Brian, daughter in law Sherlene and granddaughters Nikola and Joelene most of all. We wish to thank those amazing people at Hillside Village, Bastion Place and Shuswap Lodge who made Mom’s day, everyday.

Thank you for all your caring and compassionate love to Mom.

June 25, 1925 – January 5, 2014 With great sadness, Nick’s daughters wish to let friends know of his passing on January 5, 2014. He led a very active and healthy life until suffering a stroke in mid-December. Dad was predeceased by our mother Joyce in 1994. He is survived by his daughters, Jennifer Mikula (Randy), Laurie Bessette (Robin), Katherine Thomas (Guy) and Sally McKay (Steve) and by his ten grandchildren.

Dad was born in Romania and immigrated to Regina at age eleven. He served in the air force from 19431945 before embarking on his university education. He graduated from UBC with a BSc in Forest Engineering in 1949 and a Masters in Forest Management from Oregon State College in 1952. He married Mom that same year and began his life as a forester – a career that he was always passionate about. His work took us to various locations around BC and on a three-year stint to Taiwan on a United Nations forestry project. He has been “living the life” in the Shuswap area since 1974. There are many things that we will remember about our Dad: his love of travel, languages, storytelling, reading and all things academic; his natural curiosity especially in the areas of world history and science; his exceptional woodworking talent that has resulted in our houses being furnished with his many handcrafted items; the energy with which he attacked any and all projects; and the log cabin he built on Little Shuswap where we spent our childhood summers. We admired the enthusiasm with which he pursued golf, skiing, bridge and a good blaze throughout his entire life.

We would like to thank the staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital and Bastion Place for their compassionate care during this difficult time.

A celebration of life will be held at Bowers in the Mountainside Room at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 25, 2014.

If family and friends wish to make a donation in Nick’s memory, please donate to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation at PO Box 265, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4N3.
