Some 3.5 million sockeye are expected to spawn in the Adams River, and the majority of them will be arriving this weekend. “There’s lots of fish, with more coming,” said Stu Cartwright, acting area director of the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans for the B.C. Interior, on Wednesday. “The peak should be happening now.” Sockeye that are viewed from the new viewing platform are waiting to get into the spawning grounds. “It’s like cabs at the airport; the line can be pretty long on some days and faster on others,” he says. “We don’t know what the magic is that has them go into the river.” As to recent complaints from some visitors that while they are not allowed to go in or near the river at Roderick Haig-Brown Park while people are fishing on the other shore, Cartwright says the anglers are engaged in a legal catch-and-release trout fishery on the gravel banks. As of Oct. 1, the Fraser River Panel estimated there were in the neighbourhood of 19.6 million salmon overall in the Fraser River. “Of that number, 9.6 million are considered to be late sockeye; some of them will go to the Adams River and Shuswap Lake,” he said. “After catch and all other fisheries, we’re expecting about 3.5 million on the Adams.” Cartwright acknowledges the dominant run in See New platform on page A4

Report evaluates quality of life
Vital Signs: Shuswap region earns an A for arts, C- for transportation. By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAFF
The pulse of the Shuswap is strong in many ways, but there is room for improvement in others. Part of a Community Foundations of Canada program, Shuswap’s Vital Signs is the local foundation’s first-ever report designed to take the pulse of the region’s communities. It was released to the community with an open house yesterday. A total of 10 issues were considered in assessing the overall health and vitality in the report that included input received from a Vital Signs survey. A total of 288 respondents graded each of the categories from A (Awesome. Our community is doing great.) through D (Of concern, we need to focus on this). Respondents, primarily female (69 per cent) did not give any Ds. They awarded one A, four Bs, one C-plus, two Cs and two with Cminus. The A went to Arts & Culture, an area in which the foundation has contributed $49,000 to many organizations throughout the Shuswap in the past two years. In 2011, 235 people had occupations related to culture, recreation and sport, an increase of 17.5 per cent from 2006. Also on the rise were visits to the art gallery – a 10 per cent increase in exhibition attendance
from 2012 to 2013 and a 20 per cent increase in Family Saturday attendance. On the down side, attendance at the Wednesday on the Wharf concert series was down nine per cent. Bs were handed out in the categories of Belonging and Leadership, Health & Wellness, Learning and Safety. Some 95 per cent of residents aged 12-plus reported they were satisfied or very satisfied with overall quality of life, higher than the B.C. average by four per cent. The median value of charitable donations for Salmon Arm in 2012 was $430 – a full 59 per cent higher than the Canadian average. In the citizen feedback section, a respondent expressed concern that not-for-profit organizations would fail to survive due to aging demographics. Noting these organizations would not exist without community volunteers, the report reveals the foundation has contributed $165,875 in grant funding over the last three years to volunteer-led community service organizations. Education also earned a B from survey respondents, with one person encouraging continued growth for Okanagan College to keep students at home and continued support for the Literary Alliance of the Shuswap Society. Another respondent

n One of the worst marks in the report relates to transportation, as there are limited options for those who do not drive. asked for continued support for the library, an organization that saw a 41 per cent increase in downloadable books from 2012 and a whopping 231 per cent increase from 2011. The foundation has granted more than $60,000 to a wide variety of learning projects over the past two years. “An overall sense of safety and security affects how residents participate in the community life, interact with their neighbours and move freely throughout their region without fear,” says the report. While respondents gave a B, there are a number of issues: As the population swells in the summer, the S.A.F.E. Society responds to an increased number of calls for crisis and assault. Statistics show the sexual assault rate for Salmon Arm in 2013 was one per 1,600 residents – 13 per cent above the B.C. average and a 57 per cent increase from 2012. Another concern is that only 30 RCMP officers serve the area –
19 in the City of Salmon Arm, five for rural Salmon Arm and six for Sicamous. For Salmon Arm city alone, this is about 1.1 officer per 1,000 residents – 42 per cent below the B.C. average. Health and Wellness also scored a B, an area in which the foundation has four endowment funds that contribute $7,000 annually to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation. The Environment category scored a Cplus from respondents and a cautionary comment attributed to the Fraser Basin Council that “groundwater samples drawn from Blind Bay-Sorrento, White Lake and Sunnybrae occasionally exceeded Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines.” Also noted – 43 per cent of the Shuswap Lake shoreline was estimated to be highly impacted by human activity in 2009. Although respondents gave it a C, half of Salmon Arm households in 2010 spent 30 per cent or more on housing – substantially
higher than the 40 per cent Canadian average. The work category also earned a C. While the foundation contributes to numerous projects annually, that result in either temporary or permanent job creation, the 2013 labour force participation rate was 61.8 per cent, lower than the provincial average of 64.1 per cent. The Gap Between Rich & Poor and Getting Around both earned C-minus, leading one respondent to remark on the wealth category: “There is a significant gap between the rich and poor in this community. The wages for entry-level jobs are quite low, which pushes people away to larger communities.” While 24.6 per cent of families have an annual income of more than $100,000, 2,000 visits to the Salvation Arm Food Bank per month have already been recorded this year. Survey respondents asked for extended hours and further reach for transit service and a regional service to provide better access to education and employment opportunities. The foundation will produce a second report in two years measuring changes and identifying trends. The full report can be accessed at the Shuswap Community Foundation’s website at www.shuswapfoundation.ca, or pick up a copy at the foundation office located at 50 Lakeshore Dr. NE.

n Millions of salmon are expected to arrive to spawn in the Adams River over the weekend.
New platform to view fish Continued from front 2010 had eight million sockeye return to spawn, but says that was an exceptional year. ‘It’s a cycle and there could be a number of contributing factors about why stocks come back at different levels – weather when they’re juveniles migrating out to sea, out at sea, migrating back to spawn, predators and other environmental conditions,” he says. “We’re not disappointed with what’s coming back.” Cartwright notes some five million sockeye have already been removed from the run through First Nations, commercial and recreational fisheries. “The sockeye are probably midway through the migration or slightly past that, with a lot mov-
ing through Kamloops Lake and the South Thompson,” said Cartwright last Thursday, noting rain and cooler temperatures have provided a better environment for the salmon. “We expect to see continued high numbers migrating over the course of the next 10 days.” That should make this Thanksgiving weekend the optimum time to see the highest number of fish at their Adams River spawning grounds. Event co-ordinator Jeremy Heighton reminds visitors to keep all dogs on a leash and out of the river, approach the river bank slowly and quietly and don’t throw anything in the river, including sticks and rocks. Heighton also recommends polarized sunglasses to reduce the glare from the water and allow for better
viewing of the salmon swimming below the surface. Visitors are advised to stay out of the river, not only because it could disturb the spawning salmon, but because the rushing river is a dangerous place. Safety and protecting the environment are also reasons why visitors are asked to stick to the well-laidout trails and away from riverbanks. Take time explore the various food vendors, souvenir tent, local artisan market, salmon interpretive displays and perhaps witness the occasional fish dissections taking place out behind the salmon society’s log cabin. A beautiful Salute to the Sockeye programme contains information relevant to very young and older visitors, history and

Growth decline bad for B.C.
Statistics Canada’s latest population projections do not bode well for B.C.’s future, on a number of counts. The federal agency has B.C. falling to fourth-largest province in the country, with Alberta moving ahead of it to third. This is projected to happen over the next 20 years or so. B.C. will still be growing — but at a lesser rate than Alberta is projected to grow. Perhaps more dramatically though, B.C.’s population of seniors is expected to grow the most, to 27 per cent of the population by 2038. This is a higher-than-usual percentage of seniors, who for the most part will not be working and contributing to long-term economic growth. At the same time, they will put added pressure on the health care system. This is not to say that seniors are bad for a province or an economy. It is simply that their needs bring new challenges to an economy which is already hobbled by minimal growth, and to a province where every resource-based proposal is met with a fury of opposition. A province cannot thrive long-term without economic growth. Simple population growth is not enough. B.C. is already a very expensive place to live. At the same time, few younger people have the opportunity to make really good incomes, and are thus handicapped from getting ahead. Taxes in B.C. are already quite high, which is masked by the sleight-of-hand about low income tax rates. However, when the seven per cent PST, ICBC rates, ferry fares, BC Hydro rates (all of which are tax increases), TransLink taxes and MSP premiums are taken into account, taxes are quite onerous on many people already. Low economic growth will inevitably lead to even higher taxes. B.C. weather and scenery are great, but they don’t pay the bills. -Victoria News

OPINION
Government not yet off the hook
This year’s Fraser River sockeye salmon run has been estimated to be anywhere from 7.3 million fish to as high as 72.5 million, with a good number of those bright red sockeye trying to make their way to their ancestral spawning beds along the Adams River. While that’s a pretty wide estimate, it is still an impressive number of fish. I was out at Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park last weekend for the official opening of the Salute to the Sockeye, sponsored by the Adams River Salmon Society. There were all sorts of dignitaries, but not a lot of fish – yet. As I stood there, listening to several politicians make their speeches, I could not help but feel they were a little long on words and short on action. There was very little talk of federal funds for salmon enhancement programs of any sort. It was, however, nice to see so many people out to witness a true wonder of nature. Having said that, one should remember the fish re-
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray turning this fall are the progeny of the 2010 run which was unexpectedly high, and that there were significantly low sockeye returns for a fair number of years prior to 2009, when fewer than 1.5 million fish returned. (This was after the DFO had forecast some 11 million sockeye.) Why were the predicted (DFO) numbers so far off the mark four years ago? What happened to the sockeye in those years when the numbers of returning sockeye were at record lows? Do this year’s numbers truly indicate a turnaround in fish stocks? It wasn’t long ago that the
continued steady decline in numbers of fish returning prompted some to speculate about the possible disappearance of the sockeye runs altogether. In fact, the 2009 returns were so disturbing the federal government created a public inquiry (the Cohen Commission) to determine just exactly what was happening to all the disappearing sockeye salmon. The commission took three years to complete at a cost of more than $26 million. It included some 892 public submissions and 138 days of hearings with 180 witnesses. In the end, it came up with 75 recommendations. That was two years ago. I have heard very little about which, if any, of the recommendations put forward by commission have been successfully put in place by the current federal government. As pointed out in the commission report, one of the major problems in making any sort of accurate predictions when it comes to numbers of returning sockeye is the fact that there is currently
no real way to monitor the salmon in the middle of their life cycle. Add to this all the theories about sea lice from fish farms, climate change, over-fishing, poaching, survival rates and everything else and, well, the waters get even murkier. There is no one cause, and pointing the finger will not solve the problem. What we need to do is look beyond the rhetoric and demand our federal government make a concerted and co-ordinated effort to find out just what is affecting salmon stock numbers – before the whole question becomes academic. With a potentially record number of sockeye salmon returning to spawn this year, I hope the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans does not feel it is off the hook. There is much work that needs to be done. We have the Cohen Commission recommendations, we have public concern and we have the will. We even have a window of opportunity. What we need now is for the government to walk their talk.

Program makes it better at home By Lachlan Labere
The Shuswap’s Better at Home program is expanding its outreach to better assist seniors to remain independent. Better at Home coordinator Wysteria Scholtz has arranged bi-weekly drop-in dates for Sicamous, Salmon Arm, Sorrento, Blind Bay and Enderby, in order to meet in person those seniors who are in need of the services that are co-ordinated through the program. There are 60 Better at Home programs run throughout the province, each funded through the B.C. Ministry of Health and administered by the United Way. The program is intended to assist seniors “with simple dayto-day tasks so they can continue living at home.” Jeanne Rokosh, general manager of Shuswap Better at Home, says her role is to help co-ordinate the delivery of non-medical services for seniors who would like to remain living
in their homes. These services include things like housekeeping, lawn work, the provision of transportation, minor home repairs, grocery shopping and friendly social visits. Rokosh says research done by the United Way found seniors could live in their homes for a longer duration if they had an avenue through which to access such services. “What we learned through some of the research was that people were having to move from their homes and into what we might call residential service for seniors when they might simply have needed someone to help with their lawn mowing or grocery shopping,” explained Rokosh. “So what came out of that was this notion of, why couldn’t we provide more co-ordination of services and support for seniors so they wouldn’t have to relocate.” Depending on the services needed, and the financial status of those needing the service, Rokosh says there
is one of two paths that may be taken. “One is that we may have volunteers available who may be able to provide that support or resource. And the other path is… if there is finance limitations on behalf of the senior, we may be able to assess them and see if they are eligible for subsidy – we have a limited amount of subsidy available as well.”
The three-year Shuswap program is nearing the end of the first year of operation. Rokosh says one of the challenges the program has faced, one that was anticipated, has to do with the size of the region the program serves and the lack of transit and transporta-
tion for those living in smaller communities. This, Rokosh explained, can make the provision of a service difficult when long distances are involved. “For example, we’re thinking about snow shovelling this winter. We’re certain seniors are going to need that kind of service, but to be able to have a company or a person or an organization that works regionally in all the areas, I think we’re hardpressed to find them,” said Rokosh, adding distance and transit challenges makes it difficult to get service providers to seniors on a steady basis. “With the cost of gas, it’s cost-prohibitive for people to even think about providing the service.” Asked what services have been most requested, Rokosh said initially most calls were for housekeeping. However, requests for friendly visits are now on par. She says this is something many involved in the provision of care for seniors are seeing.
Fifty-eight-year-old Jeffrey Emery was convicted of a horrifying attack in 2004 but managed to disappear before authorities could put him behind bars. Emery was last seen on Dec. 19, 2004 by his brother in Sorrento. It
was eight months earlier, on April 13, that he committed assault inside a home in North Vancouver. Emery was living there with his wife. During an argument he poured a bottle of hair spray over her head and set her on fire.
She suffered thirddegree burns to much of her body. She is still traumatized by the attack and hopes for justice. Emery might have changed his appearance. He’s believed to be Hepatitis C positive
and requires regular medication. There is a Canadawide warrant for Jeffrey Emery. If you have any information that can help capture him, call police, visit BC CrimeStoppers or call 1-800-222-8477.

“Their family is not within the vicinity... They’re aging without a whole lot of support, and that’s not uncommon.” -Wysteria Scholtz
“The incidences of seniors experiencing loneliness is quite high,” she said. “We have about an equal number of inquiries from people who are living with someone as from people who are living alone, and I think now, more than ever, we’re seeing seniors with family members who are living far away. “Their family is not within the vicinity of where they’re currently living. They’re aging without a whole lot of support, and that’s not uncommon. Health care would probably echo that, as would other sectors.”

Shuswap Community Foundation: Non-profit groups receive grants. By Tracy Hughes
MARKET NEWS STAFF
It was Thanksgiving come early for many community groups who were the beneficiaries of grants from the Shuswap Community Foundation at their annual community meeting Thursday night. A total of 24 different grants totalling $234,569 were formally distributed by the foundation which, for the first time, operated two granting cycles in both the spring and fall. This enables the foundation to respond to the needs of non-profit groups throughout the year. Dave Wood, foundation president told the assembled crowd at the Prestige Inn that the foundation’s capital sets should soon surpass $7 million, which provides the interest generation that allows the foundation to disperse the community grants. “Community Foundations play a crucial role in how people give back where communities need it most. We connect people, families and companies with causes that inspire them SOLD – pooling resources, knowledge and expertise to achieve greater impact,” he notes in his report.

Martin winds up her term as UBCM president By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Rhona Martin’s term as president of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities ended with this year’s convention in September. But that does not mean the longtime politician will be any less busy or enthusiastic. Martin, who describes her time at the helm of UBCM as an amazing opportunity, will try for a 24th year as Area E Rural Sicamous director. “Of course I am still enthusiastic. Do I breathe?” she laughs. “I always wanted to try to improve things in the area and I continue to want to be there because it’s important to have the voice of rural B.C. involved at all levels.” Martin, who has already submitted her papers, says there are still a number of regional district issues that continue to be a challenge. “For many electoral area directors, the challenges are development and employment, something CSRD is attempting to address through Shuswap Economic Development and Shuswap Tourism,” she said. Martin says the new four-year term is a long time, but adds that when she first entered politics the terms were only two years. Along with the longer term, has come heavier workloads. “When I was first elected, we got a package (of information) once a week and the odd phone call. I am still getting the package, but people are sending emails every day,” she says. “The workload has increased tremendously and there are great expectations from the electorate.” It’s not just meeting once a month, she adds, noting there are committees both within and outside of CSRD and the workload has to be shared. Martin says the biggest chal-

n Rhona Martin speaks at the recent Union of BC Municipalities convention, alongside Coralee Oakes, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. lenge during her UBCM presidency was trying to engage the province in a report that won unanimous approval of delegates to the 2013 convention. The Strong Fiscal Futures Report finds challenges in the property tax system, says Martin, noting local governments believe there needs to be a different way to get funding for projects. “We recognize the province requires a certain amount of dollars to provide services and we recognize that each year there is an increase,” she says. “What our report suggests is that in the years when there is more (money collected) than the increase, they share it with local governments to take the burden off local taxpayers.” A highlight of this year’s convention for Martin, was the announcement of the establishment of a Rural Advisory Council While she is not sure it’s a
direct result, Martin says the Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition and two other provincial coalitions worked very hard to create a value-added strategy for wood. “What we see is small enterprises employ more people per cubic metre and get greater value per cubic metre sometimes, and we would like to see policy changes that would address some of these concerns,” she says. “They will be looking at things through a rural lens.” As past UBCM president, Martin will support the incoming president, will be appointed to committees and will be the person in charge of the nominations process for elections next year. And, with the regional district’s approval, Martin will continue her work with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities by serving on a number of committees.

StrongStart for preschoolers
StrongStart is a free school-based program that provides play-based early learning opportunities for children (0 to 5 years old) and their parents or caregivers. StrongStart has been expanded to include a once a week program at Carlin Elementary Middle School. StrongStart programs will continue to run five days a week for three hours a day at Salmon Arm West Elementary School and the Downtown Activity Centre. Salmon Arm West offers the program from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and the Downtown Activity Centre has programs from noon to 3 p.m. on Mondays and 9 a.m. to noon from Tuesday to Friday. Families are welcome to drop in for all or just part of the program on any day the program is running. The StrongStart Outreach program has also expanded to include Carlin Elementary School. The Outreach schedule will be Mondays at Carlin Elementary/Middle School, Tuesdays at Sorrento Elementary, Wednesdays and Fridays at Falkland Elementary and Thursdays at North Shuswap Elementary. These programs run from 9 a.m. to noon. Jennifer Findlay, Early Learning Co-ordinator, is very excited to announce the new Carlin StrongStart will be a pilot program where natural play is strongly encouraged. She is working closely with Bridgitte Alomes, CEO of Natural Pod, to create a natural play space that supports creative and imaginative open-ended play. This means the use of plastic will be limited and the use of natural materials such as wood blocks, fabric, wool, rocks, etc. will be encouraged. Unstructured play in the great outdoors and inside the classroom helps children build a sense of wonder, which is a big motivator for life-long learning. Natural play helps to develop sensory exploration along with creativity and imagination. If you have any natural items you would like to donate to the program such as baskets, wool, silk scarves, shells, stones, etc., contact Jennifer Findlay, Early Learning Co-ordinator, at 250-833-2095 or at jfindlay@ sd83.bc.ca.

Eliminate household pests with facts, not fiction (NC) Did you know that flies carry more disease-causing pathogens than cockroaches? In fact, the common house fly is twice as filthy as a cockroach, is known to carry more than 100 pathogens, is covered in microorganisms, and a fly deposits bacteria each time it lands. “When it comes to pests, there is often a lot of misinformation or simply a lack of information,” says Alice Sinia, Ph.D., resident entomologist with Orkin Canada. “Education is critical when it comes to managing pests and for mitigating the risks associated with them.” Experts from Orkin offer a few pestrelated “facts” and explain whether they have any merit. Truth or Fiction: You will get bed bugs when you walk into a room that has them. Fiction. You won’t necessarily get bed bugs just by walking into a room where they are present. Bed bugs hate light, sound and commotion. While they are good hitchhikers and can spread by attaching themselves to clothing and luggage, they are generally lazy insects and spend more of their time resting and hiding.
Truth or Fiction: Using household chemicals like bleach, sanitizers and cleaning agents will kill and control ants and other insects. Fiction. These chemicals will not control ants or insects. They might kill the ones you spray depending on the strength of the chemical, but these household cleaners do not have the active ingredients to serve as a pest control solution. While maintaining a clean home is key to reducing your risk of an infestation, you should not rely solely on household cleaners to solve your pest issues. Truth or Fiction: Mosquitoes are attracted to some people more than others. Fact. Mosquitoes are attracted to people by cues such as carbon dioxide and sweat. This is why mosquitoes may swarm around you after exercising outdoors. They are attracted to the CO2 and sweat you produce. Truth or Fiction: Carpenter ants eat wood. Fiction. Carpenter ants do not have the ability to digest wood as termites do. They only excavate wood and nest in the voids. If your home has a wood foundation that is compromised with
Laminate floors: a sensible choice Are you looking for flooring that offers durability and ease of maintenance? Would you like to give your home an attractive, natural finish that is affordable? Maybe you’re also tempted by the thought of installing it yourself. How about laminate floors? This ecofriendly material is durable, lightweight, and adapted to healthy living. It imitates natural solid flooring to perfection and is made primarily of recycled wood. This fireresistant type of flooring is very popular at the moment. It stands up to wear and tear, heavy furniture, and stains, and it retains its luster over the years. It can also be installed on a floor with underfloor heating. Not only is laminate flooring ideal for a child’s room, it is also child’s play to install it! The first step is to spread a waterproof
membrane on the floor’s surface for sound-proofing pusposes. Then you click the sections together in a twisting motion in order to lock them together. No need for glue or nails! The authentic wood look is not always necessary in today’s homes. Classic laminate flooring has evolved and is now available in all sorts of new textures. These days, the trend is towards laminate tiles. Similar to the look of traditional flooring brings a three dimensional perspective to your floor, visually enlarging the room. Flooring with a textile effect provides a tough of novelty, while a stone effect adds nobility and innovation to a room. All you have to do is choose the perfect laminate floor according to the type of wood you want to imitate, as well as colour, format, and surfact finish.
moisture or is rotting, work with your pest management professional to implement a program that helps keep this pest at bay. Truth or Fiction: After eating rodent poison, rats or mice will move out of the house to die outside. Fiction. A rat or mouse will die anywhere as long as it has consumed a lethal amount of the poison, and regardless of where they die, they will
smell. The poison does not dry them out. The degree of the smell depends on the body mass of the rat or mouse, and temperature in relation to decomposition. Experts recommend working with your pest management professional to set up a plan to address the specific pests in and around your home. www.newscanada.com

Winter tire rules now in effect
With winter quickly approaching, motorists are reminded winter tires are now required on many highways throughout the province. Signs are posted on each of the designated highways to advise motorists where winter tires are required. These are generally located approaching high mountain passes and interior highways where conditions can change from rain to snow very quickly. Maps showing which roads require winter tires can be found on the ministry’s web page at www. th.gov.bc.ca/SeasonalDriving/winter-tires-chains/ index.html As a result of the technical analysis completed during the Rural Highway Safety and Speed Review, winter tires have been defined as those labelled with either the winter mountain/snowflake symbol or the mud and snow (M+S) designation. Winter tires must also be in good condition with a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm. There is also a new time frame that winter tires are required on the high mountain passes. The new time frame is October 1 to March 31 (it previously was October 1 to April 30).

A slippery slope for cities B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – Every year when B.C.’s municipal politicians get together to preach to the provincial cabinet, there comes a point in the maze of resolutions where things go sideways. Last year it was a misinformed, impossible demand to ban all traces of genetic engineering. Before that they thumbed their mobile phones and denounced wireless power meters. Both votes passed by narrow margins in a half-empty chamber, with many delegates focused on the serious community issues they are elected to address. This year it was a charge led by Burnaby to denounce the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion. And this time it was defeated. Credit for this sudden attack of common sense goes largely to North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring. Here’s part of his address to the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities
convention in Whistler: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are elected to handle things like roads and water and sewer and land use, police, fire, garbage. We’re not here to talk about social policy, child poverty or heaven forbid, pipelines. “Those kinds of things dilute our credibility as an organization. We’re becoming a social policy activist group rather than a group of municipal politicians. “Half of this resolutions book is stuff that’s outside of our purview… If you want to do social policy, get your butt elected to the provincial legislature.” Burnaby, New Westminster, Victoria and Vancouver were undeterred. In tax-rich urban centres one can make a living at local politics. And grandstanding works. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow rattled off a jumbled history of refineries in his region, noting the sole surviving Chevron plant is bringing in crude by trucks and trains because the 60-year-old pipeline is over-subscribed. He didn’t explain how stopping a pipeline upgrade would keep it open, or improve oil safety. Volkow repeated the protester myth that a new pipeline would
introduce diluted bitumen to the coast. Trans Mountain started shipping dilbit in the late 1980s. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar and others from along the Interior pipeline route pointed out another flaw. If southern cities want to wander outside their mandate to make this gesture, why target only this pipeline and ignore rail lines and highways that cross the same rivers and streams? “Half of this resolutions book is stuff that’s outside of our purview…. If you want to do social policy, get your butt elected to the provincial legislature.” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan boasted that after his first court challenge to the National Energy Board was tossed out, his high-priced eco-lawyer found a constitutional angle. Cha-ching! Meanwhile, professional protesters bikelock their necks to the fence at Burnaby’s Westridge oil terminal, and a radical Simon Fraser University professor revives his Occupy Vancouver team to step up the ground war if courts falter.
The comedy of all this was illustrated by Coun. Robin Cherbo from Nelson, who assured delegates he uses synthetic oil in his vehicle. Is that derived from organic sunflowers? And what significance does that gesture have compared with the gasoline and jet fuel that carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler? Cherbo assumes that Ottawa can simply direct Alberta’s oil industry to start refining all the heavy oil there. Half a century into this industrial mega-project, this stuff should just be banned from pipelines. Peace, man. This is why electiontime posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise and information. The Trans Mountain pipeline starts in Alberta and branches into the U.S. It is by definition federal jurisdiction. NEB hearings on its expansion continue, with expert input, especially on shipping risks, from the B.C. government, Green MLA Andrew Weaver and others. Municipal politicians should pipe down and defend their own performance. -Tom Fletcher is legislature columnist for Black Press.

Davy the Punk comes to life
Presentation: event set for the Shuswap theatre. “What you don’t say can’t be used against you,” Bob Bossin’s father, Davy “The Punk” Bossin, taught his son, a lesson Bossin Junior clearly never learned. The talented musician and author presents The Stories and Songs of Davy the Punk at Shuswap Theatre this Friday. Bossin’s book about his father’s life in Canada’s gambling underworld of the 1930s and ’40s was published in March 2014 by The Porcupine’s Quill to glowing reviews. It sold out its first printing in a few months. Now Bossin is bringing the book to life on the stage. Davy, Bossin’s father, was born in 1905. Finding his way blocked by the rampant anti-Semitism of the time, Davy blazed his own path in a new, vibrant, international industry – gambling. There he matched wits with cops and mobsters, grifters and grafters, crooks and judges. His court cases set precedents that affect us to this day. Bossin has been
writing about odd corners of Canadian life for 40 years. Around 1970, he wrote poetry (some published by the fledgling House of Anansi Press), but was tempted away by the bright lights and big bucks of Canadian folk music. With Marie-Lynn Hammond, he founded the iconic and longlived Canadian folk group, Stringband, with whom he wrote and recorded such songs as The Maple Leaf Dog, Dief Will Be the Chief Again, Show Us the Length, Tugboats and Ya Wanna Marry Me? Three collections of his music are currently in print. On disk, actually. Bossin has also written non-fiction, including the book Settling Clayoquot (1981), and the play Bossin’s Home Remedy for Nuclear War (1986). Settling Clayoquot sold 9,000 copies and Bossin’s Home Remedies had 200 performances in four countries. Bossin has been nominated for a national magazine award, and his short story, Latkes, won second prize in a

Celebrating the Shuswap
Anniversary: SEAS marks 25 years of eco-activism. By Barb Brouwer
MArKet neWS StAff
Irritating smoke from a landfill near his Lee Creek home that launched Jim Cooperman into environmental activism. But it is his passion for protecting and sharing his joy in the Shuswap landscape that has kept him at the head of the Shuswap Environmental Action Society. The realization that awe-inspiring, oldgrowth trees were in grave danger of being destroyed through forestry practices of the day that led Cooperman and six others to form SEAS in 1989. Twenty-five years later, SEAS is celebrating actions and accomplishments with a book penned by awardwinning author Deanna Kawatski: Big Trees Saved And Other Feats – The story of the Shuswap Environmental Action Society. “I’m very impressed. I think Deanna did an awesome job of telling the story and focusing on the key points, and making it interesting for the readers,” says Cooperman, who points out he wanted a book that would create a lasting legacy for SEAS so future generations will remember the work that went into creating a number of parks. “Over the years, SEAS’s hard work and dedication has resulted in 25,000 hectares of new parks in the Shuswap, including the Upper Seymour River rainforest, and the magnificent Anstey Arm Hunakwa Lake wilderness area.” Cooperman hopes the book will improve the public’s understanding that these parks exist, and that with greater public awareness more pressure will be put on the government to make it easier for people to access them. “So few people are aware that they are there, and Anstey-Hunakwa Provincial Park is only accessible by boat,” he says, noting

n Beautiful Hunakwa Lake is one of the Shuswap’s pristine parks that Shuswap Environmental Action Society president Jim Cooperman would like the province to make more accessible. access is possible from the Beach Bay Access Road to Wright Lake. “We want to create a trail from Wright Lake to Hunakwa Lake and we were just up there recently to look at options to improve access.” Cooperman says the gorgeous Upper Seymour River Provincial Park is 90 kilometres north of Seymour Arm. “You get into big trees by mountain bike or an hour-long hike from parking,” he says. “Few people, if any, have hiked up to the glacier. It’s pretty incredible to think there is landscape like that in the Shuswap and almost nobody knows about it.” Cooperman says there’s very little money in the budget for BC Parks. “You have to get their attention and you’re up against all the other parks,” he says. “If there’s more public pressure, we might actually see more money. Basically zero dollars have been spent on many of the new parks in the northern part of the Shuswap.” Referring again to the Upper Seymour, Cooperman says visitors have to fight their way through bush to get their canoes in the water. He maintains it wouldn’t cost a lot of money to create a path. “It’s critical to improve access; these are pristine areas that needed to be protected to help preserve biodiver-
sity, give species a place to be and we need wild places on the planet,” he says, maintaining conservation has always been an important focus of many agencies. “Parks are key to what it means to be human; we need to spend time in nature. It’s all part of our health and emotional well-being.” Cooperman laments that huge old-growth trees are not being preserved in many other places in the province. “If we want to understand how ecosystems work, we have to have the natural forest available for study.” Thanks to the efforts of SEAS, thousands of hectares of old-growth
forest were set aside, and forest management was vastly improved, leading to better protection for non-timber forest values. The celebratory launch for the highly readable and interesting Big Trees Saved and Other Feats – The story of the Shuswap Environmental Action Society is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15 in the hall at First United Church. There will be live music, a multi-media presentation, speakers and refreshments. After the launch, the book will be on sale for $20 at the Observer office and stores throughout the region.

Terrorism 101: What can be done?
Gwynne Dyer There was a time, as recently as 25 years ago, when military staff colleges around the world taught a reasonably effective doctrine for dealing with terrorism. Then it was forgotten, but we need it back. It would be especially useful in dealing with the terrorist state that has recently emerged in northern Iraq and eastern Syria. The doctrine was painfully worked out back in the decades of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, when terrorism was one of the world’s biggest problems. Most of the time, the strategy worked, whether the threat was the urban terrorists who plagued most Latin American countries and a number of big developed countries, or the rural guerillas who fought the government in many African and Asian countries. The key insight was this: Terrorist movements always want you to over-react, SO DON’T DO IT. The terrorists usually lack the popular support to overpower their opponent by force, so they employ a kind of political jiu-jitsu: they try to use the adversary’s own strength against him. Most domestic
the terrorists had expected. Instead, “the people� kept their heads down while the military regimes destroyed the revolutionaries (together with many innocent bystanders). Extreme repression can also eventually succeed as a counterstrategy to terrorism, but it imposes a terrible cost on the population. International terrorism has a somewhat better record of success, mainly because these terrorists are not actually trying to overthrow the government they attack. They are merely trying to trick that foreign government into using massive violence against the countries where they really do want to take power. The attacks of the foreigners will outrage and radicalise the local population, who will then give their support to the local revolutionaries. The most successful operation of this kind was 9/11, a low-cost attack that incited the United States to invade two entire countries in the region where the revolutionaries of alQaeda hoped to replace the local governments with Islamist regimes. The local population has been duly radicalised, especially in the Sunni-majority parts of Iraq, and 13 years later an “Islamic Caliphate� has taken power in the northern and western parts of that country. Osama bin Laden would have condemned the extreme cruelty that the new Islamist state has ad-

opted as its modus operandi, but in essence it is the fulfilment of the grand strategy that he worked out after the Russians left Afghanistan a quarter-century ago. He could not have predicted the strategy’s greatest success would be in Iraq, for he had no allies or followers there before the U.S. invasion, but he would still take credit for it. So now that Osama bin Laden’s vision has finally taken concrete shape, how should we deal with it? (“We� in this case is practically every regime in the Arab world, most of the other Muslim countries, and all of the NATO countries, with Russia and China in supporting roles.) ISIS’s behaviour is abominable, but is there any better option than simply bombing it from a great height? Rule one in the old anti-terrorism doctrine was DON’T OVERREACT, and it still applies. That means as little bombing as possible, and only of strictly military targets. Preferably, it would mean no bombing at all except in specific areas where ISIS troops are on the offensive. It means not letting yourself be lured into more extreme action by the public beheading of innocent hostages and the other atrocities that ISIS stages to attract a certain kind of recruit. Indeed, it means not launching a major ground offensive against ISIS (for which the troops are not available anyway), and waiting for events to take their course within
the ‘Islamic State’. Regimes as radical and violent as this one rarely survive for long. The revolution will eat its children, as so many have before, and it will happen a lot more quickly if they don’t have a huge foreign military threat to hold them together.

GLOBAL VIEWS
terrorism, and almost all international terrorism, is aimed at provoking a big, stupid, self-defeating response from the target government. The Red Army Faction terrorists, for example, hoped their attacks would provoke West Germany’s democratic government into severe repression. This was known, in the works of philosopher Herbert Marcuse, as “unmasking the repressive tolerance of the liberal bourgeoisie� – and once the West German government had dropped its mask, the RAF terrorists believed, the outraged workers would rise up in their millions and overthrow it. But we never found out if the workers would actually do that, because the West German government refused to panic. It just tracked down the terrorists and killed or arrested them. It used violence, but only in legal, limited and precisely targeted ways. The same approach ended the terrorist campaigns in Italy (the Red Brigades), Canada (the Quebec Liberation Front), Japan (the Japanese Red Army) and the United States (the Weathermen). In Latin America, by contrast, the “urban terrorists� did succeed in the first stage of their strategy. Their attacks drove the military in Argentina, Brazil and a number of other countries to seize power and create brutally repressive regimes. But even this did not cause the population to revolt, as

The bad news is: Research shows that seniors are more likely than other drivers (except for youth) to be involved in a crash. Changes that occur as people age can increase their risk on the road. When they are involved in crashes, they are more likely to be seriously injured or die, and often take longer to recover from their injuries following a crash. But, the good news is: Research also shows that age alone is not a good predictor of driving safety or ability. And there are things most aging drivers can do to decrease risk, improve driving and keep themselves behind the wheel for as long as possible. Clint Smith, Dawn Benson and Hanne McKay will lead a British Columbia Automobile Association Traffic Safety Foundation workshop called Living Well, Driving Well on Oct. 15 and 22. Well-attended last year, the PowerPoint presentation will likely be accompanied by a pharmacist who will speak to the effects of certain drugs. There are no in-vehicle assessments. Participants may complete the written self-assessment in the handout and it will remain strictly confidential. Assessment questions are discussed only in terms of suggestions for coping or improving. The workshop’s objective is to raise awareness of challenges facing seniors and help participants address the challenges of driving successfully, and for as long as possible. The Living Well, Driving Well workshop can help seniors assess their driving behaviours, abilities, knowledge and habits, and provide tips and strategies to help make changes if necessary. Both free workshops take place from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Deo Lutheran Church at 1801 30th St. NE. – the first on Wednesday, Oct. 15 and the second a week later on Oct. 22. There will be a coffee break at 10:30 a.m. For more information on seniors’ driving, visit http:seniors driving.caa.ca or www.tsfbcaa.com.

Your health treatment journey: have your say (NC) Alex is a 54-year old electrician. Five years ago his doctor told him he had high cholesterol. Despite initial efforts to get his health back on track through diet and exercise, Alex’s doctor eventually prescribed him a brand-name medicine that aimed to lower the bad cholesterol and raise the good cholesterol in his blood. Like many other Canadians, Alex also takes a few other prescription medicines for some common chronic ailments including high blood pressure and migraines. Alex has taken the same brand name drugs that he’s become familiar with for years and they seem
to work well for him. Alex knows that sometimes when a generic version of a brand name medicine becomes available, it is not uncommon for some patients to be switched to the cheaper, generic alternative. “I have a long history taking certain prescription medications and I’m happy with how they work for me,” says Alex. “I don’t want to be switching to something new or taking a generic drug at this point. I say, “if it isn’t broke why fix it?” Many Canadians are often switched to cheaper generic alternatives in an effort to save money. Now
the patient choice drug card called RxHelp ONE™ allows customers 34 different brand name prescription medicines at little or no additional cost versus the generic alternative. Like Alex, fellow Canadians simply need to visit www.RxHelpONE.com to print their own free RxHelp ONE™ card or download the card to their smartphone. The RxHelp ONE™ card is free, convenient and easy to use. For a complete listing that is regularly updated with participating brand name medicines, visit www.RxHelpONE.com RxHelp ONE™ is available to all Canadians from
coast to coast, including those with no drug plan, with private insurance, and/ or with public drug coverage. Cards are free of charge; there are no hidden fees, no monthly charges and patient privacy is protected. “If you’re like me, and you want to continue being treated with the brand you trust, get yourself an RxHelp ONE™ card and tell your pharmacist you’re choosing to stay on the brand name drug you’ve been using all along,” advises Alex.

Roasting tomatoes for fast winter meals is what I do. I like to use Roma tomatoes because they are not watery and the flavour becomes very concentrated. Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Slice tomatoes in half and place on a large cookie sheet or baking dish. Add chopped onion and garlic (and any other garden vegetables you have on hand such as zucchini or peppers). Drizzle with olive oil and mix tomatoes so everything is coated. Arrange tomatoes cut side up and then bake for approximately one

saving time throughout the winter by having ready-made pasta sauce or the base for chilli, soup, Mexican dishes, etc. ready to go in the freezer. The other benefit to roasting tomatoes is certain nutrients, such as the antioxidant lycopene, become easier to absorb. Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, which is thought to help prevent prostate cancer. Roasting tomatoes is so easy that a specific recipe is not required just a few directions are all you need.

and freeze a whole lot of tomatoes for use throughout the winter and spring. The flavour from roasted tomatoes is so rich and delicious it totally trumps the canned version in my opinion. Admittedly preserving food in general is more time consuming than buying it from the store. But for me the flavour and quality of preserving fresh tomatoes from the garden or farmers market makes it totally worth it. Plus the investment of extra time in the fall means

In our house we eat a lot of tomatoes, particularly in pasta sauce, chilli, soups, and home-made salsa. A few years ago I was complaining to my aunt about not having enough time to can the abundance of ripe tomatoes in my garden. Getting set up, blanching tomatoes, sterilizing jars, and processing….nope, not enough time! She suggested roasting them in the oven… genius! Easier, way tastier, my life was changed! Now each September I roast
hour or until tomatoes look a bit shrivelled and caramelized. Allow tomatoes to cool then puree in food processor or leave whole depending on how you plan to use them. Tomatoes that are not pureed can be peeled if desired (too finicky for me, I don’t mind the skins). Transfer to medium sized freezer bags and lay flat to freeze as this creates more space efficient storage. – Simone Jennings, Community Nutritionist

Networking tips for working professionals Networking plays an integral role in professional growth. Men and women who can nurture relationships within their fields are more likely to be in tune with what’s going on in their professions, and a network of fellow professionals can help men and women advance their careers. But networking often falls by the wayside for today’s busy professionals, many of whom simply can’t find the time in their hectic schedules to foster relationships with professional colleagues. But the benefits of networking are numerous, and it behooves men and women to make an effort to build and maintain strong professional networks. · Recognize the benefits of networking. Networking not only benefits individuals but also the companies those individuals own or work for. While many people view networking as a means to one day finding a new job, networking is much more than that. When you foster a professional relationship, the other person in that relationship will be quick to think of you when they need a given service or are asked for a referral. That can benefit business owners’ bottom lines, but even men and women who don’t own a business can benefit, as their bosses will no doubt recognize the role they played in bringing in new business. · Make networking a priority. Once professionals recognize that networking is about more than just building a web of contacts who can help them find their next job, they can begin to prioritize network-
ing so it can help them in their existing jobs. Make an effort to keep in touch with current and previous clients and any other contacts made over the years. Something as simple as an email to catch up or an inquiry to see if there’s anything fellow professionals need will help you stay on their minds, which can help you bring in new business or learn about new opportunities down
the road. Maintaining and building a professional network does not always require a lot of work, as even seemingly small gestures can pay big dividends if men and women prioritize such efforts. · Revisit your network from time to time. A network is only beneficial if it remains current. Keep track of the professionals in your network so you know when and where to
reach them should you need to do so. A professional networking site such as LinkedIn is a great way to stay on top of what your network is up to, and such a site also is a valuable tool when you want to update your network with any new information about yourself.
Revisit your network a few times each year, updating with any new information so you aren’t left scrambling for email addresses or phone numbers when the time comes to get back in touch with your contacts. · Avoid networking only when you
need something. You can likely name a few of your fellow professionals who only seem to contact you when they want something. You don’t want to earn a similar reputation among your own contacts, so don’t forget to make periodic contact with your colleagues
even when you don’t need anything. A simple email to catch up and to offer some unsolicited help if any is needed can be enough to prevent you from earning a reputation as a me-first contact and put you in a positive light that can benefit you throughout your career.

Traits of a business woman Who are the women running companies and small enterprises? What drives them and makes them successful? Common traits Some women seem to have it in their blood; it is as though they were born to be businesspeople. Generally, these women are go-getters. They are driven and they love taking charge. Without trying to stubbornly impose their point of view, they enjoy the art of persuasive argument and getting others to share in their vision of the world. These women are driven by their self-confidence and their belief in their skills. Chief motivations Women who choose to go into business appear to share a number of common motives. Firstly, they share a desire to reach their potential without constraints and to let
their creativity run free. Business women often choose to go out on their own because of their frustrations with the limitations of the business world or typical work environments. Secondly, time management is another common motivation. Managing your own schedule allows you to invest your energy in the right places and at the right times. Being financially independent also fuels women to create their own businesses. Being business owners means being able to reap every dollar generated by their determined efforts. To be a business woman — a good business woman — involves conviction. Yes, you need to have business in your blood, but above all, you need to truly believe in your skills and in your business.

When it seems as though there aren’t enough hours in the day, it can be difficult for working mothers to find time to catch their breath and enjoy life. The family is one area where the majority of women rarely compromise. While some find it difficult to be separated from their little ones, others need to be part of the workforce in order to flourish. This is where a work-family conflict can arise. Even though they work as hard as everyone else, some working mothers often have the impression that they’re not able to produce as much as their childless colleagues. Swamped by their workloads, others feel that they are always neglecting their family responsibilities. With guilt hovering in the back-
ground, women tend to waver between the two worlds, always in search of the right balance. Although a woman might often have the impression of being overwhelmed, all she has to do is look around to realize that this is the reality for thousands of other families. Of course, the grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence, but few mothers would truly want to change their lives. Above all, the key to successfully reconciling work-family responsibilities lies in
organization, good time management skills, and the setting of priorities. Give yourself some leeway in case of unforeseen events. After a hectic week, cut back on housework and organize a family outing instead. Ask your partner to give you a hand. Suggest to your employer that you could work from home when your children are sick or on vacation. In other words, find your own solutions to reduce the hectic pace of your life. After all, everyone has a right to be happy and successful!

Flexible work hours improve family life
Left to Right; Tr acy, Terry, Donna
(NC) Canadians suffering from the backto-work blues would be happier if their employers offered a flexible working program, according to the findings in a new study. The research analyzed a flexible workplace program by Telus, called Work Styles. More than 2,000 team members participated in the study and researchers found that mobile and home-based workers reported that their work interfered less with their home lives and that they were less likely look for a new job than their peers who worked in an office. “Mobile and homebased employees maintained their performance, and experienced lower stress and less family/work conflict,” says Alison Konrad, a professor of organizational behaviour at The Ivey Business School, who co-authored the study. “We also found flexible workers to be as equally produc-

tive as their in-office counterparts and far less likely to leave the company.” Thanks to new collaboration technologies and the proliferation of smartphones and tablets in the workplace, many employees now have the ability to work from anywhere at any time. However, in order to capitalize on the benefits of transitioning to a flexible work environment, businesses will need more than technology; leaders must be fully committed and adapt their leadership styles. “There needs to be a strong culture of trust between leaders

and their employees, and in some cases management styles need to be reshaped,” Konrad explains. “We found that Telus leaders focus less on face time in the office and more on the quality and consistency of deliverables.” The study’s findings arrive as great news for both Canadian employers and employees, as the country’s mobile worker population is set to increase to 73 per cent of the workforce, or roughly 13.3 million mobile workers, by 2016 according to the research firm IDC Canada.

New ways to watch salmon Roderick HaigBrown Park has a bit of a new look. Excavators and saws working on a multiyear construction project have left new facilities to greet people visiting the park to view the spawning salmon. On Sept. 28, officials joined the Adams River Salmon Society to kick off the Salute to the Sockeye Festival; the world-renowned event celebrating the dominant sockeye run in the Fraser River. The $1.2 million dollar construction project allows for greater flexibility in Roderick HaigBrown Park, and provides new facilities for large and small groups. A new, smaller day-use area meets the needs of families and individuals who come year-round to hike, mountain bike, snowshoe, ski and view wildlife. A new gathering space can adequately accommodate large festivals and community events. Additional improvements include: a new viewing platform; a buffer zone between the Adams River and
park facilities, to better protect habitat; new trails, signs and displays; closing and rehabilitation of older trails; new picnic tables; new interpretive information kiosks and signs; the hardening of surfaces, lowering grades, removing barriers and providing resting spots for greater accessibility; and a modified parking lot, enabling more parking in times of high traffic. The Adams River Salmon Society, the Secwepemc First Nation, Department of Fisheries and Oceans and other community members have been actively involved with BC Parks on this project.

The federal government and the Pacific Salmon Foundation announced at the Salute to Sockeye celebration that $95,000 in Community Salmon Program grants went to three projects in the Okanagan Shuswap region. Two of the grants were to the Adams River Salmon Society for

Heat endure a weekend of ones The KIJHL scheduled a tough road trip with three games in three days against stiff opposition, leaving Chase with a lonely single point. On Friday, Oct. 3 versus the Leafs in Nelson, the Heat got on the board first with Kaleb Boyle on the power play from Cody Hodges and Jordan Passmore. In the second frame the teams scored a pair apiece, Tommy Brown from Connor Harding and Spencer Farstad. Closing out the period, it was Boyle on the power play from Connor Venne and Hodges. Halfway through the third, Nelson popped in the winner to claim a 4-2 victory. Nic Bruyere stopped 31 of 35 fired his way. Saturday night the Heat faced the Beaver Valley Nighthawks in Fruitvale. Mike Byer stopped 46 of 52 shots.
Once again Chase opened the scoring on the power play, with Passmore from Boyle and Venne. Then the Hawks popped in two. In the second, the opposite occurred with the Heat getting a pair – Logan Mostat from Passmore and Venne. With 21 seconds left, it was Braden Hughes from Passmore and Venne. It was 3-3 going into the third, when Beaver Valley struck for two before Chase came back via Brown from Hughes and Trevor Okino, followed by Hodges from Cole Perison and Boyle. It was 5-5 and overtime beckoned. The Hawks got the winner – a tough 6-5 loss for the locals. The tie in regulation gave the Heat a single point. On Sunday afternoon, the third game is in Castlegar versus the Rebels. Bruyere goes the distance in net stop-
ping 20 of 25 shots. For the third game in a row, Chase opened scoring on the power play thanks to Passmore from Venne and Boyle. Two minutes later it was Mostat from Venne. Castlegar tied it up in the second 2-2. In the third, Boyle, from Venne and Hodges, scored on the power play. Then the Rebels got a pair prior to Passmore from Venne and Mostat tied it up. Castlegar scored with less than five minutes left, giving them another single goal loss, 5-4, and a long bus ride back to the Shuswap. Friday the 10th, the division-leading Kamloops Storm come to town and Saturday the Osoyoos Coyotes visit. It’s Family Weekend and the Fourth Annual Golf Tournament goes on the 12th at Sunshore Golf Course, with a turkey dinner to follow.

FAMILY RESTAURANT “OVERLOOKING THE BEAUTIFUL SHUSWAP LAKE”
Kids get ‘rabbit ready’ for fire emergencies (NC)—The Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC) along with fire departments and primary school teachers across the country, have a new tool to help kids and families be better prepared in case of fire: cute and fuzzy bunny rabbits. “Know Two Ways Out” is a common theme for Fire Prevention Week. Since rabbits live in underground warrens, they always have at least two tunnels leading to safety. So firefighters and educators will use bunnies in campaign safety materials as a symbol of the wisdom in knowing and practising two ways out of every room in your home if ever there is a fire. Fire Chief Rob Simonds, president of the CAFC, says families who create and practise an escape plan together, with two ways out of every room if possible, have a better chance of escaping during a real fire emergency. “An escape plan helps families respond more quickly and calmly when faced with a real fire situation,” Chief Simonds says.
Knowing what to do and where to go in the event of a fire can save lives!
“When a smoke alarm sounds, everyone every storey of your home.” needs to know what to do and where to As well, Heller adds, “Remember that go.

Heller says that in addition to having an escape plan, families must also consider two more obvious factors to avoid fire tragedy. “If a false alarm has caused you to take the batteries out of your smoke alarm, or remove it from the ceiling, it won’t be there when to all the you need it most,” she says. “So fi refi ghters who keep us safe! when your kids come home from school excited to create an escape 250 832-7662 #3 - 551 Trans Canada Highway NE Salmon Arm plan, also make sure smoke alarms www.gentechengineering.com are installed and fully powered on

Briefings assist politicians FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes The B.C. Conservative Caucus, had meetings this spring and fall, with various stakeholders in the province. We usually meet in Vancouver but last fall we met in West Kelowna and in September we completed meetings in Parksville on Vancouver Island. Inspire Health, an organization with a mission to improve and transform our approach to health care and personal wellness, discussed an alternate approach to the increas-
ing costs of pharmaceutical treatments. Eleven of the last 12 oncology drugs approved by FDA cost $100k or more per treatment course, extending life by two to three months and are associated with significant side effects. Our current healthcare system focuses on treatment of illness (expensive), not health or prevention. Various studies cited proved that exercise has a direct improvement for cancer patients. Three thousand women with stage-one to stage-three breast cancer reduced their risk by 20 per cent by doing a brisk walk for one hour weekly and 50 per cent when exercising three to five hours per week. Men reversed progression of early prostate cancer by improving their lifestyle, reducing their PSA.
This was a very interesting presentation, great information, as we proceed to meet the health-care challenges in the future. A number of stakeholders presented on the issue of fisheries. Omega Pacific Hatchery provided stats on survival rates of Chinook smolts relative to the time and size of smolts. If the hatchery delays the release until smolts are a larger size the survival rate goes up 15 to 20 times. We also heard a presentation on fish farming challenges and successes regarding on-land containment tanks. A presentation concerning the possibility of re-establishing salmon on the Columbia River and a report on the talks with the U.S. government as well as the challenges in providing waterways for
spawning fish to bypass existing dams along the Columbia River were also an exciting prospect. Caucus members were briefed on the Tsilhqot’in v British Columbia Supreme Court ruling. This ruling was a no-gamechanger, but a clarification on aboriginal title and the Crown. I cannot go into details because of the political sensitivities but I believe that after the presentation the federal and provincial jurisdictions were not compromised. There were 14 presentations which helped your B.C. representatives from the federal government become better informed on issues facing our constituents in B.C. - Colin Mayes is the member of Parliament for Okanagan Shuswap.

Rotary Update ROTARY CLUBS OF SALMON ARM - DAYBREAK
Roktoberfest a huge success With the 3rd year of Roktoberfest being completed, it is well on its way to being a staple event of the fall in Salmon Arm. This year the band was Young’uns and the prizes raffled off included a sunny destination holiday and 2 baskets: a “his” and a “hers.” The “hers” basket highlight was a diamond ring valued at
well over $1000 as well as many other great prizes, including wine, a spa package and much more. The “his” basket highlight was a stocked toolbox with many other great prizes including a golf package. This event keeps growing year after year and the proceeds raised allow Daybreak Rotary to do more local projects.
Blackburn Water Park Fully Funded! This year was the final year in Salmon Arm Daybreak Rotary’s 3 year, $100,000 commitment to funding the Blackburn Water Park. Our Lobsterfest event of 2014 was the final key to meeting this goal.
The Blackburn Water Park was a major undertaking for our club and we are absolutely ecstatic that our fundraising efforts over the past 3 years were successful enough to meet it. A big thank-you to the
community for supporting our efforts, we absolutely could not have done it without the big hearts of our citizens.
although close, is still unachieved. This last year has seen many advance-

AUGUSTINE (GUS) NAEF Augustin (Gus) Naef passed away at his home in Hermance, Switzerland on October 2. He was 93 years old. Gus spent much of his life here in the Shuswap: in 1948 he moved from his home in Switzerland to live and work here on a family farm (Bastion Ranch). It was in Canada that Gus married the love of his life, Renee. Together with his step-son, Eddy Miege, he logged and farmed and built lifelong friendships with many people from the Salmon Arm area. Gus will be remembered for his happy nature, humour, and generosity. He enjoyed the simple life of farming and yet had a complex and deep understanding of human nature. He is survived here by nieces and nephews (Fleur de Lys), daughter in law Betty Miege, and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is loved and missed. There will be a luncheon at his home on Bastion Ranch for Gus’s friends that wish to get together to reminisce about the times they had together. Contact David at 250-833-5081 for a date and time.
