n Capt. (ret’d) Harry Welton salutes after laying a wreath at the cenotaph during the Remembrance Day ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 11.

Colin Martin was handed a two-year prison sentence last Friday on charges of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking.

The Malakwa man was sentenced Friday, Nov. 7 in Vancouver Supreme Court, after pleading guilty to the charges in March.

In addition to the jail time, Martin was given one year probation and a lifetime ban on possessing firearms.

Crown counsel had argued for a five-year prison sentence, excluding time served (including jail time related to his May 2014 arrest on an extradition warrant).

The two-year sentence stems from a July 6, 2010 police raid on two adjacent properties on Northway Road in Malakwa.

Beneath a warehouse on one of the properties, officers found a bunker containing approximately 3,000 marijuana plants.

Court documents state Martin’s fingerprints were found on light shrouds in the bunker. The bunker was concealed beneath a hydraulic door upon which sat “a number of electrical generators.”

In a residence on the adjacent property where Martin resided, police found baggies of marijuana, as well as documents and emails arranging for the bunker’s construction, a Health Canada application for a licence to produce marijuana prepared in Martin’s name, and negotiations for the sale of the property with the warehouse by Martin to a numbered company.

“In an email correspondence… Colin Martin wrote that while the former registered owner ‘may be the owner on paper,’ Colin Martin was the ownSee Martin on page 2

CSRD proceeds with lake plan

Congratulations

Terry Butler

Gardom Lake: Fraser Basin Council to conduct review.

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

Gardom Lake is home to many species of flora and fauna and well-stocked with trout by Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

There are a number of concerns regarding the health of the lake – including the number and kind of boats on the lake, invasive species on the shoreline and public access to the water.

All of this and more will be taken into consideration as Columbia Shuswap Regional District board members gave unanimous approval to entering into

an agreement with the Fraser Basin Council to facilitate and develop a management plan for the lake.

In his report to the board, Darcy Mooney, CSRD’s manager of operations management, advised directors that the Fraser Basin Council has an excellent level of experience with water and watershed planning initiatives, both regionally and provincially and has a history of successful facilitation and multi-party processes.

“The Fraser Basin Council is an impartial organization with a mandate to advance environmental, economic

and social sustainability,” said Mooney. “The council has the ability and qualifications to deliver a high-quality lake management plan at a reasonable cost.”

At the June 2013 board meeting, directors approved up to $35,000 in funds from the Area D Community Works Fund for development of the plan, contingent on the province coughing up at least one third of the cost.

When the province denied funding, directors agreed in May 2014 to up the ante to a maximum $40,000.

Fraser Basin Council has agreed to produce the plan for $34,640

plus applicable taxes and a 15 per cent contingency.

CSRD staff will work with the council and estimate the Gardom Lake Management Plan will be completed by June 2015.

“Gardom Lake is a small lake well-used since it was stocked with big fish and a lot of people get their water from the lake,” said Area D Falkland/ SalmonValley/Deep Creek director Rene Talbot.

“I am happy we are moving forward and think the Fraser Basin Council is wellequipped to handle this.”

Survey looks at cutbacks to library branch

By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAff

Public feedback may help shape how and what services are provided at Salmon Arm’s library, but not preserve current service levels.

The Okanagan Regional Library offered up more information last week on how staffing reductions might be rolled out at the Salmon Arm branch. According to an Oct. 29 news release, the ORL board has set the following weekly reduction target levels: 28 hours of reference librarian time; 16 hours of reference assistance time; 17 hours of circulation assistant time; four hours of student page time.

Salmon Arm head librarian James Laitinen notes each of the above cuts is from an existing position.

“So as those staff retire, leave for another position, etc., those positions will likely not be

filled – leaving fewer staff remaining to try and maintain existing services,” says Laitinen.

In addition, the board will be eliminating Sunday hours as of next winter, and may further reduce hours. The release notes that apart from Sunday openings, the changes will be achieved as a result of attrition, rather than layoffs.

For Laitinen, any loss of staff translates into a reduction of service.

“We want to be as responsive and as timely as we can in terms of helping the public...” says Laitinen.

The staffing reductions are in response to a 2013 study comparing what local governments were paying for service levels at their respective library branches. The study found some communities like Salmon Arm and Sicamous were receiving more service for less money, while the opposite was

happening at other branches.

Specifically, Salmon Arm is receiving almost $300,000 more in service than revenue recovered. Subsequently, ORL is attempting to balance service levels

across the region.

In addition, ORL has released an online survey (paper copies available at the Salmon Arm branch), giving the public an opportunity to say what services they use and value most.

VIEW POINT

A message to boat thieves bourhood watch effect on Eagle Bay Road that has supported us for almost 50 years.

In fact, you were witnessed scraping our boat and trailer away from our driveway and further up Eagle Bay Road and RCMP are hot on your tail.

We understand you scouted the location by breaking into our home on Oct. 21, so we’re asking residents to be on high alert to stop you from more thievery through increased awareness of such nefarious types. We hope that by spreading the word, no other family will be targeted by such a crime.

Anyone with information about our 2007 white Glastron 185 inboard ski boat with

blue trim lines is asked to contact the Salmon Arm RCMP at 250832-6044.

The boat sports a grey cover, a Volvo Penta 4.3L engine and navyblue cloth Bimini, and a now very damaged black EZLoader trailer with Alberta licence X02029.

If someone approaches you to buy such a boat, be warned, it is a hot property!

As we continue the bedside vigil to say goodbye to our mother and grandma, we hope you feel proud of your dubious accomplishment in that you have robbed us of both property and cherished family moments.

As a family, we would like to send our heartfelt thanks to the selfish creeps who stole our ski boat from our Eagle Bay Road home on Nov. 5, 2014.

Not only have you stolen our family memories, but you have chosen to do so on a critical day when we are gathered managing the final stage of our mother’s palliative cancer care.

We really appreciate being distracted from our family priorities to respond with ownership and insurance details because you have nothing better to do than spread grief for your own personal gain.

You are a heartless bunch of thugs who lack a moral standard.

Fear can spread like disease

Ebola isn’t likely to be the world-ending pandemic doomsayers have been predicting.

But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have the potential to be, nor should governments be chided for taking measures to limit the spread of the disease. Canada has lately come under fire from human rights organizations for restricting travel from the worst-affected African countries, where the deadly disease has already taken thousands of lives.

We don’t want to add to the fear-mongering surrounding Ebola, but neither should its deadliness be set aside, or its potential to spread through the population if measures aren’t taken.

People look back on the Y2K crisis, calling it a fizzle, or worse, a hoax. Truth is, a lot of hard work was done leading up to the year 2000 to update software and fix mission-critical hardware so, yes, planes didn’t fall out of the sky on Jan. 1, 2000.

Ebola needs to be dealt with the same way.

Taking measures now like quarantines and limiting travel prevents a bigger problem later. Considering its long incubation period and the short time it takes to kill its host, Ebola is unlikely to get a foothold — but the danger of a pandemic can’t be set aside. SARS, hantavirus, Rift Valley fever, even the ancient black plague have all presented the possibility of a pandemic at one time or another. But we don’t need to look to exotic diseases. Even influenza, the flu that we deal with on a yearly basis, has proven potential to spread out of control — the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic killed up to 100 million people around the world. So, while world governments do what they can to prevent the spread of Ebola and end that crisis, you can do your own bit to prevent the spread of a different deadly disease by getting your annual flu shot.

OPINION

What to look for when buying binoculars The other day I bumped into a friend at a local department store who was in the process of deciding on which pair of binoculars to buy. She asked me for some advice.

I hesitated.

My first inclination was to say she would be better off dealing with a store that specializes in quality optics and binoculars. However, I responded by saying there are a number of factors that should be considered before making such a purchase.

All binoculars, regardless of where they are made and the manufacturer, are labeled with two numbers such as 7x35 or 8x40 and so on. The first number refers to the magnification – how many times an image is enlarged over normal when you look through the binoculars. Think of magnification as how many times closer the subject appears to be than it is in reality.

A pair of binoculars with an eight-times magnification makes the subject appear to be eight times larger, or eight times closer than it really is. An 8x50, 8x40 or

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray 8x20 pair of binoculars all magnify an identical eight times. (With zoom binoculars the first two numbers represent the zoom range.

In a 7-15x35, for instance, you can actually change the magnification from seven to 15 times.) Choose this first number carefully because more is not always better.

This is especially true of magnification. As magnification goes up, image brightness goes down. Field of view (the amount of territory seen through the binocular) also goes down. And, just as importantly, image steadiness goes down. Binoculars magnify not only the image, but also every shake and tremble in your hands.

The second number on a binocular - the 35 in 7x35 or 40 in 8x40 - is the diameter (width) of each front lens, measured in millimeters. This number directly affects performance. When magnification and quality is equal, the larger the second number, the brighter the image as well as the sharper the image. An 8x40 pair of binoculars, will produce a brighter and sharper image than an 8x25, even though both enlarge the image an identical eight times.

The larger front lenses of an 8x40 or 8x50 pair of binoculars produce wider beams of light that exit the eyepiece. It is simply more comfortable to view with an 8x40 pair of binoculars than an 8x25.

By the way, the second number is not the field of view as many people mistakenly believe, nor does it affect the field of view. Field of view is the amount of territory you see when you look through the binoculars.

It is determined by magnification and the type or design of eyepiece incorporated into the manufacture

of the binoculars. Think of a fence 1,000 yards away. If a binocular has a field of view of 372 feet at 1,000 yards, you will see 372 feet of the fence. It should also be noted the diopter adjustment on a pair of binoculars simply allows one to compensate for differences in strength between the right and left eye.

Lens coatings are chemical coatings on the lenses in the binocular to make images brighter. Whenever light strikes a lens, a certain percentage of light is lost. Since there are a number of lenses used in a binocular, binoculars without coated lenses can lose as much as half of the incoming light.

Once you have determined which type of binoculars best suits your need, then it’s simply a matter of finding the best price. The bottom line though, is that you usually only get what you pay for. There is also the matter of warranty coverage.

After that, it’s pretty much a matter of getting out and enjoying your new purchase.

Strong voter turn-out boosts democracy Democracy is in peril all across Canada, but citizens have a golden opportunity in the upcoming municipal elections to show politicians the electorate is engaged, informed and anxious to maintain or improve the well-being of their communities with their votes.

Whatever mayor and council we elect will be in office for four years, so we want to get it right.

A council that works well together, and with the citizens of Chase, that is respectful of each other and welcoming of citizen input, and makes decisions through informed consensus,

will be happily reflected in the village culture itself.

The UBCM (Union of BC Municipalities) this year brought forward a number of important resolutions, one of which was that more women be encouraged to participate at all levels of government.

I have been pleased to see we have a wide choice of candidates of both genders, and I look forward to a council comprised of a healthy mix of men and women.

When important issues to the community are not dealt with openly in public and information is not freely disseminated,

Kelowna Grown .................

voter apathy and voter suppression is the result. Don’t let that dissuade you from coming out and voting on the 15th of November.

Find out the information you need to make an informed voting decision by asking questions of the candidates who are knocking on your doors.

A strong voter turnout will be sending a message that a fine balance between environmental, health, and developmental interests is possible to achieve, and we are just the community to show how it can be done.

Candidate targeted for election sign theft What a shock and disappointment it was today to find out that election signs for our candidate of choice, Paul Demenok for Area C Director, had been stolen from all the

homes on Golf Course Drive.

There are other signs in the area of Blind Bay that are missing as well.

We are not sure who is responsible for this

disrespectful deed but it is the intention of most of us to find out who did this, or who is behind the removal of our signs.

Whoever you are, you may have taken our

Fewer X’s can influence the vote Did you know you do not have to vote for all six councillor slots in Saturday’s election?

In fact, you will increase the chances of the ones you are certain about by only voting for them. This is called “plumping up the vote.”

I am only certain that four people in this election share my values in

regards to what is really important to me: parks, trails, the Trans-Canada Highway problem, business and the environment.

If I were to vote for all six I might unwittingly undermine my top choice.

For example, if my vote for my top choice gets 501 votes but

my vote for my sixth choice gets 502 votes, I have undermined my top choice by voting for someone I really didn’t want.

Keep this in mind if you feel strongly about a candidate, especially a newcomer.

Plump up the vote!

Minister refuses candidate’s withdrawal The Minister of Community, Sport & Cultural Development advised Columbia Shuswap Regional District Chief Election Officer Linda Shykora she will not allow the withdrawal of Richard Norman as an election candidate for the position of Electoral Area ‘C’ director.

Norman advised attendees of his intention to withdraw from the municipal race due to “personal reasons” at an all-candidates meeting held last Tuesday night at Sorrento Memorial Hall.

Norman also made his intention known in a letter to Shykora, who wrote a letter to Victoria asking for permission for him to withdraw.

In a Nov. 9 press release, Norman released his reasons for attempting to withdraw from the race.

“I was dealing with a health issue at the time I made this decision and was not certain how detrimental it would be for my participation in the rest of the campaign.

“I am a cancer survivor. My checkups have always been positive,

RECYCLE YOUR NEWSPAPER

but as anybody who has been through this experience knows, one becomes much more mindful of their health and symptoms,” he said, noting he believed it best to err on the side of caution. “My family had concerns and encouraged me to step back.”

Norman says the matter has been resolved.

“Because Elections B.C. still considers me an active candidate,

I will still continue to make my platform known,” he wrote.

“Regardless of the outcome of the election, I intend to remain involved in community issues.”

The three candidates for the Electoral Area ‘C’ South Shuswap director position are Richard Norman, Paul Demenok and Alan McClelland.

Elect

ALAN McCLELLAND For Area “C” Director

Thank -you!

HONESTY/INTEGRITY/ DEPENDABILITY The last few weeks of campaigning have been unbelievably rewarding for me. While my knuckles are pretty raw from door knocking, I have met the most remarkable people. I have been invited in for coffee, breakfast and a conversation. I have been hugged, almost had my hand crushed and been told “I hate politicians”, but nobody told me to go away. I was shown respect from many different people with almost as many different backgrounds and opinions and it was humbling. Then they started to communicate! They started to tell me their ideas and feelings.

Communication and Respect is what everyone is looking for from government. At first glance it would seem obvious but it is lacking in many simple and important ways. It came to me during this that the biggest challenge as an elected Director was to get the message out to Area C in a simple, clear and respectful manner.

There will be issues that won’t make everyone happy, it will cost too much, there is not enough return for the money spent, encroachment on previous plans or projects and of course OCP. This is where better Communication and Respect come into play.

On Saturday November 15th you have a chance to get back to old fashioned community and government, where your tax dollars and opinions matter.

I hope you will give me a chance to show you that this is still possible. Many thanks to all who shared your home, time and thoughts with me.

Respectfully, Alan McClelland

Centre celebrates one year The Sorrento & Area Community Health Centre marks one year of service to the community with a celebration Wednesday, Nov. 19.

Organizers are excited by their success and thrilled with the response from the community.

“Our community has been so generous in their support and their donations to enable us to provide this facility, ensuring primary health care is available to residents and visitors to Sorrento and area,” reads a Nov. 7 press release.

Interior Health is the centre’s partner in this venture, employing nurse practitioner Judy Deringer and supporting the facility in many other ways.

“Our landlord, Colin Munro, deserves the gratitude of all of the community for making the space available to us,” says Sorrento and Area Health Centre Society rep Marilyn Clark.

“Dr. Melany Dyer and the Sorrento & Area Community Association (SACA) who spearheaded the application for an nurse practitioner were visionaries.

Among their many accomplishments are: • Initially the centre operated with the assistance of a group of volunteers, who took on the role of receptionists. Now a qualified medical office assistant, Kathy McGill has been employed

to replace those volunteers.

• A society has been formed and charitable status obtained under the Canada Revenue Agency; • A billing number with Medical Services Plan has been established so a locum physician can come in to replace Deringer when she is absent; • With assistance from Interior Health, the centre has established an electronic medical record (EMR) system; • The society has shown how successful this model can be, with community support, in providing primary health care to rural areas; • Community partners have enabled centre volunteers to replace the initial loaned and donated equipment with state-of-the-art business machines; • By serving the health-care needs of more than 700 patients, the centre has become an established part of the fabric of this community.

“Thanks to each of you who has contributed in some way to our success,” said Clark.

Area residents are invited to an open house between 4 and 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19.

The centre is located above Munro’s Sorrento Prescriptions at 1250 Trans-Canada Highway with access from the rear laneway.

www.saobserver.net A9 The changes to the Parks Regulation Bylaw to prohibit smoking in City parks and the related ticket/fine of $100 were adopted July 8, 2013.

The Parks Department has started installing the regulatory signs . Signs are being posted in the City’s busiest parks .

After City Staff were told about a new Cell Tower Policy in June 2013, they tried to use Industry Canada’s Cell Tower location policy rather than create Salmon Arm’s own Cell Tower Policy.

Council denied this in Feb 2014, insisting that a policy would be put in place. In Oct 2014, City Staff again tried to use Industry Canada’s updated policy, but the proposal was amended to be revisited in January 2015 after a new Council were in place. However, within 8 days of that decision, the Mayor broke a tie vote to accept wi-fi from Shaw in the major City Parks in Salmon Arm. As a result, our children and everyone else can be irradiated by invisible dangerous radiation so a few people can access the internet in our City Parks. In the meantime, a person can be given a $100 fine for smoking in the same Park. At least we can see the smoke and avoid it or ask the smoker to stop.

Wi-Fi is a Class 2B human cancer risk, same as DDT. Would we allow DDT to be sprayed in parks where children and folk go to be healthy?

On November 15, 2014 on Voting Day, Please Vote and vote for a Mayor and Council who will be democratic and listen to messages from the people and ensure City Staff do the same.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

✔ ELECTION ❑ CSRD Area C Candidate

Paul Demenok

RD CS C EA ES R A AT DID N CA

Communications.

Many people don’t understand what the CSRD does, the issues it faces, what it has achieved, and where it’s headed. There’s confusion about budgeting, finance, policies, permitting, and procedures, as well as mandates and responsibilities. To help address this, I’ve authored a newspaper column on key topics, advocated for a CSRD newsletter, collaborated with community groups on issues, and recommended a CSRD annual report.

By improving communications there will be a greater appreciation of the good work being done

by CSRD staff and elected officials.

CSRD Area C Candidate

CSRD Area C Candidate

I believe it is two issues that are closely linked to one another.

These are communication and accountability. Better understanding of the issues and the way money is spent will make everyone more comfortable and help in the long run to eliminate rumours and misunderstandings.

While the CSRD has a website that posts some information, it needs to have a broader format that is easier to access. Postings at community centres would be a good start, poorly attended open houses don’t seem to be working.

Growth is the most important concern in each area of the CSRD. With growth comes development and change. Infrastructure systems like water and sewer are important changes for a community that may help it flourish. The CSRD and its communities, with proper sensible planning, must support infrastructure systems in any future development. With infrastructure planning in place at the development phase, future tax dollar increases and community conflict could be avoided. Providing appropriate and adequate areas for residential and commercial development would also prevent intrusion that interferes with quality of life or conducting business. Thoughtful sensible development.

Alan McClelland

CSRD Area D Candidate

Our communities are asked to operate their infrastructure and services with smaller and smaller budgets. Citizens are being taxed heavily already, so there must be more emphasis on financial priorities and fiscal responsibility. This goes beyond the boundaries of local government and extends into provincial territory. Our local governments require more funding to ensure our existing services are maintained and be in a position to add new services as necessary. I would advocate for the reinstatement of equalization transfers the province used to provide to local governments. This top-up would ensure equity between communities and that benefits everyone.

On May 19. Multi-Materials BC assumed responsibility for collecting and processing printed paper and packaging.

Due to existing contract obligations, the CSRD has delayed the new program until Jan. 1, 2015.

This will require the purchase of new containers for mega bags and additional compactor bins.

The CSRD will improve signage and education so the public is aware of the new recycling program.

The agreement will be in accordance with Policy No. F 32- Procurement of Goods & Services.

We need to encourage residents to recycle more, putting less into landfill sites.

We need to reverse the decline of population in our rural area.

The population in Area E has decreased 12.6 per cent from 2005 to 2011.

In order to stop this trend the CSRD needs to create conditions for new and current businesses to succeed. This opportunity can come from forestry, technology and tourism.

Steady employment and the lower cost of living in comparison to the rest of B.C. will encourage our youth to stay here and attract young families to move here. To achieve this we need a concerted and co-operative effort by all levels of government.

The economy. A lack of yearround employment resulting in loss of young families. This is also impacting our fire departments, sports teams and service clubs.

We are working on two projects, one that will increase opportunities in the forest industry and the second that is working to improve the opportunities for investment in doing business in rural areas.

Our efforts with Tourism Shuswap continue to see success and we hope to build on that. We have an amazing product here in the Shuswap.

This can not be an “I” am doing, it must be a “we” are doing.

We want you to enjoy being warm and comfortable this winter. Install a brand new

Document policy irks realtors

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

A new policy coming up at city hall governing information it gives out prompted questions from city council.

Both Coun. Marg Kentel, as a realtor, and Coun. Chad Eliason, as a mortgage broker, asked about the changes.

The city’s corporate officer Erin Jackson said the city is planning to stop distribution of land title documents effective Jan. 1, 2015.

That will include such documents as property plot plans, Land Title Act covenants and related plans, statutory rights of way, private easements, land-use contracts and phased development agreements.

“First of all, the land title authority has asked us to stop doing it. It also poses a risk to the city,” Jackson said, noting that realtors and others who request the

documents might be under the impression they are the most upto-date, when they may not be.

“There are other ways for these different groups to obtain the information.”

Those include contacting the land title office in Kamloops online or a notary public, for instance.

Jackson explained the city gets a lot of requests from real estate agents, property developers and other applicants. She said the city wants to provide access to records at the same time as protecting people’s privacy.

Realtors were given a letter on Sept. 29 advising them of the upcoming changes. Information on documents such as building permits will still be given out, but staff must go through them ahead of time to ensure they don’t include private information, perhaps on previous owners.

Jackson told coun-

cil the city has had the ability to charge for such services but hasn’t been.

“We have every intention of providing it, we want to make sure we’re not allowing personal information into individuals’ hands that it shouldn’t be.”

Marg Kentel

Kentel said other municipalities and regional districts are charging for plot plans at a cost of more than $40.

“When someone comes to look at a piece of property, we have to know where the boundaries are. I think it’s a money grab – just think how many

I’m looking forward to some kind of a tax decrease because of all this added income the province is going to get,” Kentel said to laughter. “Why not just a stamp (from the city) to say we can’t guarantee authenticity or it could be subject to change?”

Jackson added that she had a positive discussion with realtor Ken Magel of ReMax and has agreed to come and speak at the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board’s annual general meeting in December.

For information on the new policy, Jackson can be reached by phone at 250-803-4029 or via email at: ejackson@salmonarm.ca.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Sitting may keep you down…

Sitting for long periods of time is no good for us—physically or mentally. It’s been said that we should get up and move around every hour no matter what our job or activity or age. I like the sound of that!

For seniors especially who are inactive due to mobility issues, this may be easier said than done, but it is worth it to make the effort. Pain can be a motivating factor or it can be a limiting factor. Whatever your situation, try to move around from time to time to let your muscles regenerate and your blood circulate!

People who sit for long periods of time at work, or at home, or those who spend time in wheelchairs could find that certain muscles actually shorten over time. The hip flexor or iliopsoas muscle that is primarily responsible for hip

flexion (or the position your legs are in when you are seated) can cause low back pain because the shortened muscle will make it hard for you to stand up straight. And when you do attempt to straighten up, you will feel it in your low back! Everyone knows someone who has low-back issues…it could be just tight muscles!

Stand facing your kitchen counter, maybe at the sink where you can use the edge of it to hang on to safely. Step forward with one leg, bending at the knee. Step slightly back with the other leg and keep your knee straight. Now push your hips forward gently and you should feel a little stretch at the front of your hip on your ‘back leg’ side. This is the hip flexor muscle, it is attached to the top front of the femur (top leg bone) and the

frequent hand washing with soap and water is vital. No soap and water? Use an alcoholbased hand sanitizer to stop germs in their tracks.

Drink Up – fluids help with nasal and chest congestion. Drink six to eight glasses daily.

Soothe your Throat – sucking on a hard lozenge or candy helps to soothe a sore throat or cough. Gargling with salt water is also an effective natural remedy that helps relieve an inflamed throat.

inside of the back of your pelvis and lower spine. (Roughly speaking) If this muscle is kept stretched out and flexible, you will feel much less low back pain and you should be able to stand up fully without that stooped-over look.

Couple this easy-to-do stretch with some light movement such as walking around for short periods thru the day, or even just stepping on the spot and you should feel

Manage the pain – with the flu often comes aches and pains. Ibuprofen will help to soothe sore joints and muscles.

All day relief – a day and night extra strength cold relief medication will keep you from being drowsy during the day and help you actually sleep through the night.

Stay rested – be sure to take time to rest, especially if you feel something coming on.

Fatigue and emotional stress are key factors that increase the risk of catching a cold or the flu

limbered up and loose! That usually translates into feeling less pain and more motivation. Always keep your activity in a pain-free range and progress only when you feel up to it. You might feel better than you expected! That’s the whole idea.

and can cause a longer period of recovery too.

Cosy up at home – if you aren’t feeling well, take a sick day or work from home to prevent spreading your illness to others around you.

When in doubt – check it out. Some people mistake the flu for simply a cold, and vice versa.

But it’s important to know the difference and manage your illness accordingly. If symptoms persist, be sure to consult your healthcare professional as soon as possible.

Truck ban on hill

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The city is taking steps to make Shoemaker Hill safer.

The steep hill that begins near the junction of Fifth Street SE and 12th Avenue SE has prompted requests for the city to stop trucks from going up and down.

Since the issue was brought up at an October council meeting, city staff say the

city has replaced signs prohibiting overweight trucks with signs prohibiting all commercial trucks.

Also, extra warning signs limiting vehicles to 20 km/hr are going up.

City engineer Jenn Wilson said the city will monitor the situation to see if it improves, as well as doing traffic counts.

The hill is barricaded once the ice and snow season begins.

Colts, Chargers both play final Sunday The Shuswap Colts Pee Wee Football Team punched their ticket to the Southern Interior Football Conference Championship game in a hard fought 38-22 victory over the Vernon Magnums on Sunday.

It was a game best described as a heavyweight title fight, with the Colts and Magnums both playing hard from the opening kick-off to the final whistle.

The Colts offence was led by running back Ryan Berke and quarterback Vaughn MacManamna. Berke shouldered the load on the offensive side, scoring four touchdowns and earning tough yards every time he carried the ball. McManamna

threw for one touchdown in 50 km/hr winds and fought through injury to lead his team on six touchdown drives.

The Shuswap team also enjoyed strong contributions from Jonah Rivette, who scored his fourth touchdown of the year.

Defensively, the Colts had their hands full with the Vernon quarterback, who scored all six touchdowns Vernon scored this season in two Magnum-versusColts football games.

The Shuswap team showed their resolve, consistently punishing the Vernon ball carriers. Led by defensive back Dom Kemitzis, the Colts hit hard every chance they had.

The Colts look to continue their phenomenal season Sunday in the SIFC finals matchup against the only team that has beat them this season – the Kelowna Lions. In what looks to be an exciting matchup, the Colts and Lions will play for the championship in Kelowna.

Down to wire

The Salmon Arm Chargers rolled over the Vernon Magnums 56-0 in semi-final play on Sunday at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops. The game was played under challenging cold and windy conditions. The Charger offence scored

at will with quarterback Jayden Mourato, player of the game, running for three touchdowns and passing for three.

The Chargers’ defence played impossibly strong, allowing only one first down for Vernon in the entire game and forcing numerous turnovers.

The Chargers and Lions have lost and won against each other this season with only the slimmest of points between them, giving the Chargers first place.

The Chargers face the Kelowna Lions in the Interior championship game Sunday at Little Mountain at 2 p.m.

Fundraising feast for Aumie A father himself, Shuswap Chefs owner Rob Sengotta has stepped up to the plate with what he and Blue Canoe owner Al Boucher do best – serving delicious food.

“I’ve got a little one myself,” says Sengotta, “and I can’t imagine how difficult this must be for Toshi and his family. He’s a good guy, he’s been very good to me, and that’s why I wanted to do something to alleviate the incredible financial stress a little bit.”

At 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16, Sengotta will serve dinner, including a bottle of wine per couple, dessert from Blue Canoe and live music for $85.

Tickets can be purchased by calling Shuswap Chefs at 250832-5019, or dropping into Blue Canoe or Culinary Inspirations.

“There are only 100 tickets for this event,” says Sengotta, “and

Salmon Arm citizens have again proven they have generous hearts.

An online site has already raised more than $12,000 to help the Sato family, whose 22-month-old daughter Aumie is fighting for her life in Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

Aumie will be in or near BC Children’s Hospital for up to six months, and her family will need help with travel expenses, meals, lost wages and other incidental costs.

This is an overwhelming burden for her father, Toshi, her mother, Yuko and Aumie’s big sisters, Anjou and Hannah.

Yuko’s family will arrive from Japan by December to assist, but the family is still in need of some help.

Yuko is staying with her daughter in Vancouver, leaving Toshi to operate Sushi Kotan on Alexander Street by himself.

On Wednesday, Nov. 5 the Heat travelled to Armstrong to take on the North Okanagan Knight. The teams had just completed a major trade – Jordan Passmore for Tyler Mork, so excitement was in the air.

Passmore was unable to suit up due to illness in this one. In the first, Chase struck halfway through, Braden Hughes on the powerplay from Eric Austin.

In the second, the Heat got two more, Travis Beaubien on the power play from Cody Hodges and Trevor Okino.

The Knights got one in the third and the local road warriors travelled home with a 3-1 victory. Daniel Toews, in his first contest, backstopped the boys, stopping 24 of 25.

On Friday, Nov. 7 the Heat hosted the 100 Mile House Wranglers at Art Holding Memorial Arena. The Wranglers got off to a quick start, scoring three on their first three shots.

Then Hodges scored the first of three in a row for a hat trick.

The first in the first came from Tyler Mork and Cole Perison.

In the second, it was Hodges from Mork and Beaubien and then an unassisted marker. In the third, the teams exchanged a pair of goals each to wind up regula-

Byer flips the puck up with his stick to make the glove save. Chase Heat lost 6-5 to the 100 Mile House Wranglers Friday night and fell 5-4 to the Castlegar Rebels Saturday night. tion play at 5-5. Mork scored from Okino and Hodges and Austin Willier from Austin and Alex Durbeniuk.

With 15 seconds left in double overtime the Wranglers fired the winner to take a 6-5 victory in an actionpacked contest. Mike Byer in net stopped 35 of 41 Wrangler shots.

On Saturday the 8th, the Heat hosted the Castlegar Rebels.

In a similar performance to the previous evening, the hosts let the visitors score two quick ones to take a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes.

It was all Chase in the second, Connor Venne from Connor Harding, then Venne again from Kolten Moore and Okino and, closing out the period, Willier from

Austin and Zac Fournier. In the third, the Rebels got two while the Heat popped in one, Venne for a hat trick from Okino and Logan Mostat.

How to Improve Life for Rural Canadians 14-117.2_FOR806_GasOdourPrint_P1.indd 1

3/3/2014 11:02:44 AM

Canada Post became a Crown Corporation to improve network services. The Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) wants to ensure this multi-billion dollar public network remains viable and able to serve the public. We have found a way to make this sustainable.

A recent study shows that nearly half of post offices outside of Canada’s big cities are in communities with no bank or credit union. In those communities that still have a bank or a credit union, many residents have to contend with limited, part-time banking hours. Our survey of Canada’s 3,300 rural post offices: “Why Post Offices should offer banking services” is available for free download at: http://bit.ly/1r8U3fj.

Offering financial services in post offices would create a new revenue stream for Canada Post. Equally important, it would benefit numerous communities in Canada whose residents, in order to get to a bank or credit union, are forced to travel long distances. That costs time and money and stifles economic development. Many other countries similar to Canada, such as the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Japan, Italy and New Zealand, have very successful banking services right in their post offices.

We, at CPAA, believe that our study is significant because of the value of this public asset. Canada Post is uniquely positioned to offer financial services throughout rural Canada. When Canada Post can make more money and offer more services to Canadians who need them, we have a perfect opportunity. Let’s not lose it.

Please Support Rural Canada. Write to Lisa Raitt, the Minister in charge of Canada Post, and ask her to make this happen. Her letter of suggestion can be found at: http://bit.ly/1pxhMVZ. CPAA represents over 8,700 employees of Canada Post who work in over 3,300 rural post offices across Canada. These offices make up over 50% of all postal outlets. Our membership, consisting of 95% women, serves communities in every province.

2014 Municipal

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

✔ ELECTION ❑

The Shuswap Market News is giving candidates an opportunity to answer one question per week in the run up to the Nov. 15 municipal election.

What is the most important issue facing the Village of Chase and what do you plan to do about it?

Chase Councillor Candidate

Chase Councillor Candidate

Chase Councillor Candidate

The next major issue facing the Village is approximately a $1 million major overhaul of our sewage treatment containment ponds.

We will need both federal and provincial grants to do the work as well as our own share.

As we process the sewage from the Adams Lake Indian Band Reserve, I would like to see if the band would be entitled to federal funds as well to help fund this if it were a joint project and thereby reducing our overall cost. I feel this is an opportunity to put in place an agreement for our mutual benefit.

I consider the most important issue to be economic vitality; expanding our tax base by promoting Chase as a great place to live and a smart place to run a business.

Thoughtful, stable taxation and budgeting are both required to maintain services and replace aging infrastructure sensibly.

Historically, some small towns have acquired big, clean business. We need to think big to attract big business. We are situated between two larger towns and we have choices to remain a bedroom community for Kamloops and Salmon Arm while they grow and prosper or take steps to allow economic growth at home.

We have several important issues facing our village: a) we need to continue to lobby Interior Health and continue a drive to bring doctors to our community; b) we also need to encourage clean, sustainable industry to invest here; c) we need to get our financial house in order. We need to provide frugal fiscal planning that can ensure we can meet the demands of any growth or expansion.

I will work closely with the financial officer to help study and recommend best business practices with respect to our future budget allocations.

Rod Crowe

Val Donnelly

Nancy Egely

Chase Councillor Candidate

Chase Councillor Candidate

Chase Councillor Candidate

The most important issue in my mind is to have excellent employees, as they will be the ones to carry out the required tasks.

Three years ago we hired a very capable CAO. She, in return two years ago, hired a very experienced finance officer, and in June this year a new deputy corporate officer. These three along with our public works foreman, will be the ones to implement our liquid waste management plan, development cost charge bylaw, our tourism plan and all the rest of the plans.

Please come to our open monthly meetings and ask questions.

Coupled with my opinion of the number-one project for the village is the need to provide more assistance for our seniors in the form of an extended care facility.

It seems unfair to me that after spending a large part of their lives in the village or close surroundings that they be forced to move to Kamloops or Salmon Arm to obtain care that could and should be available at home.

We need a bigger tax base. In order to attract people to Chase we must identify our strengths and weaknesses. We live in a beautiful community surrounded by mountains and lakes with affordable living. We have friendly people and community spirit. Now we need light industry and economic opportunities for young families. We need to consider all possibilities such as infrastructure, education and vacant land and/or buildings. We must take a proactive approach to development in our community and have a willingness to embrace change and assume risk.

Let’s revitalize our historic village and create a new energy.

David Lepsoe

Carman Lynch

Chase Councillor Candidate

Chase Councillor Candidate

A huge issue facing the Village of Chase is, without a doubt, monetary.

I served as a councillor from 2008 to 2011 and am pleased to see some of the projects like our water treatment plant in the final stages of completion.

My vision is to see our village invest in attracting more industry. This helps increase the population while keeping some of our young people here to stake their claim and put down roots. It would increase the tax base, keeping future increases to an absolute minimum.

A large majority of our taxpayers are seniors and we must engage in meeting their needs.

The most important issue facing the Village of Chase is lack of growth where new business is concerned. Viable businesses and/or industry is needed in Chase in order for our community to grow stronger. To provide employment for residents of Chase.

My plan is to work together with the other council members and mayor elect to find and bring in a viable business or industry.

Provincial municipalities are challenged to meet their prime directives – maintaining clean water, waste disposal, and roads.

Small communities such as Chase, with few resources, have to be especially attentive. Having up-to-date infrastructure is key to growing your community and tax base.

Our sewage lagoons need a $1.5 million upgrade. We have a shovel-ready plan. We are waiting to apply for grants through the Small Community Fund. This is a federal fund designed to support such projects.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

What is the most important issue facing the Village of Chase and what do you plan to do about it?

Chase Mayoralty Candidate

Chase Mayoralty Candidate

Chase Mayoralty Candidate

Our economy is the most important issue facing Chase in my opinion.

While we are a ‘bedroom’ community in some people’s eyes, we need to encourage growth and support at the local level to ensure long-term sustainability. And to ensure that the residential taxpayers are not paying the majority of the taxes. With businesses, industry and other private enterprise comes more tax revenue. Reducing the burden on our taxpayers. The people of Chase want good services, but this comes with costs – we need to diversify our tax base with more privately funded enterprise.

I feel that the biggest issue is to watch our spending and build up our reserves.

If there is a need to fix infrastructure (for example the sewer lagoons) then we have to do so. I can’t support spending on nice things to have. This will require council to work together.

When council chose to rezone to industrial, land that was designated residential in our official community plan, two things happened. They made us vulnerable to heavy industry and its attendant pollutants and they rendered our limited inventory of residential lands unfit for use. After all, who would choose to locate their home beside heavy industry? As long as that land remains industrial, we remain vulnerable, so we must respect our official community plan, correct the flawed rezoning and ensure that quality of life factors in future decisions for our village. Choose a better way forward. Elect Jocelyn Nash for mayor.

Rick Berrigan

North Shuswap Trustee

Larissa Lutjen

If elected, what is your number-one goal for the next four years?

I would like to think that my goals are appropriately modest.

A trustee is only one person on a nine-member board, but I hope to be part of a strong decision making body and to be an advocate for the North Shuswap.

North Shuswap Elementary is a cornerstone institution in our community and my top priority is to do what is in the best interest of our school.

No new cold war on the horizon

Gwynne Dyer

sia has been invaded a lot in its history, but the licence to be paranoid expires after 50 years.

Of course the Eastern European countries all clamoured to join NATO; they’re still terrified of Russia. The Western great powers do lots of stupid stuff and some seriously bad stuff, and Russia has also done a fair amount of both in the past decade and a half under Putin.

But nobody is going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine.

The Ukrainians were told years ago that they couldn’t shelter under NATO’s security blanket, and they have chosen to defy Moscow anyway. They may pay a high price for that, and the Western alliance’s relations with Russia may go into the deep freeze for the remainder of Putin’s reign. But it will be just a little local difficulty, not a huge event that defines an entire era.

“The world is on the brink of a new Cold War. Some say that it has already begun,” said Mikhail Gorbachev, the last president of the Soviet Union and the man who inadvertently administered a mercy killing to communism in Europe. He’s 83 years old, he played a leading role in ending the last Cold War, and he’s practically a secular saint. Surely he knows what he’s talking about.

No he doesn’t. Not only has this new Cold War not begun already, but it’s hard to see how you could get it going even if you tried. The raw material for such an enterprise is simply unavailable. You can summon the ghosts of history all you want, but they are dead and they can’t hear you.

Gorbachev was speaking in Berlin, now once again the capital of a united Germany, on the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Even he would agree that it turned out to be, on balance, a good thing, but he is a great deal more ambivalent about the collapse of European communism and the dismantling of the Soviet Union.

Gorbachev was and is a romantic, and he undoubtedly agrees with his rather less cuddly successor as president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, that the collapse of the Soviet Union was “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century.” So, of course, he ends up defending Putin’s actions and blaming the United States and NATO for this alleged drift into a new Cold War. It’s all nonsense.

Nothing could have

Luhansk, Donestk), but they dare not go any further.

Which leaves the question: who is to blame for this regrettable hostility between Russia and the Western powers? The West, in Gorbachev’s view. In fact, he had a whole list of complaints about Western threats, crimes and betrayals.

NATO broke its promise and let all the Eastern European countries that had been Soviet satellites during the Cold War join NATO. It let Kosovo declare its independence from Russia’s traditional friend, Serbia. It launched wars of “regime change” in the Middle East (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya) that Moscow disapproved of. It even planned a missile defence system that allegedly threatened Russia’s nuclear deterrent (if you could believe that it would work).

Diddums. Yes, Rus-

saved the old Soviet Union.

It was the last of the European empires to fall, mainly because it was land-based rather than sea-based, but only half its population was Russian.

When it finally dissolved, 15 different nations emerged from the wreckage, and its collapse was no greater a loss to civilization than the fall of the British or French empires.

And the main reason you can’t have a new Cold War is precisely because the “evil empire” (as Ronald Reagan famously called the Soviet Union) no longer exists. There is only Russia, a largely de-industrialised country that is run by a kleptocratic elite and makes its living by exporting oil and gas.

Russia has only 140 million people (less than half the United States, less than a third of the European Union), and its armies are no longer based around Berlin and all through eastern Europe. They are 750 kilometres (500 miles) further east, guarding Russia’s own frontiers.

They occasionally grab a bit of territory that isn’t covered by a NATO guarantee (Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria, Crimea,

B.C.’s Lt. Governor joins drive to see 1,000 children adopted

By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

VICTORIA – Lt. Gov. Judith Guichon is sharing her own experience as an adoptive parent to encourage people to invite the 1,000 young people waiting to join a family in B.C. At an event at the B.C. legislature to de-

clare November Adoption Month, Guichon described her experience adopting four children to live at her Nicola Valley ranch starting in the late 1970s.

The first two children were infants, and in 1989 a relative called and asked if Guichon and her first husband

would add a brother and sister who were then aged three and five. Their mother had two older twin boys and was struggling on her own.

and Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen TurpelLafond issued a joint statement, noting that 1,300 adoption placements have been found in the past five years.

But there are 1,000 more children and teens who are still waiting.

“The reality is that

many of the young people in care who are waiting for adoption are school age,” they said.

Cadieux launched a social media campaign for November to promote adoption, including a website at www.1000familiesbc. com with adoptive family profiles and videos.

Thanks

On October 14, 2014 our treasured mother, Jean Isabel Fuller, passed on. For the last years of her life, she was privileged to reside at the Good Samaritan - Hillside Village. Acts of kindness by staff and volunteers alike enriched her life immeasurably.

Our mum appreciated the professional and compassionate care she received daily. Life was good! Special thanks go to the staff of Cottage 4 who tended our mum’s every need. It takes a special kind of person to do the work they do.

With deep gratitude, Jean’s daughters Lynda, Margie and Maureen

EXCELLENT MAYOR CANDIDATE FOUND! On Nov 15th vote for IAN WICKETT for sensible,conscientious, thoughtful leadership.

Authorized by K.Dukeshire www.ianwickettmayor.ca

Fred passed away peacefully at the age of 93. He was pre deceased by Edie his beloved wife of 70 years. He is survived by his daughter Carol (Tom) and sons Doug (Colleen) Glen (Helen) grandchildren: Adam, Terra, Amy, Darren, Christine and greatgrandchildren: Noah, Meghan, Ryan, Jayden and Luke who all lovingly cherish his memory.

Fred was born in Winnipeg. He and Edie met when he was 17 and it was love at first sight. They were married May 1, 1943 and he considered her to be his greatest inspiration throughout his life.

Fred was a WWII Veteran and enlisted in the RCAF in 1942; he served overseas with the rank of Flying Officer with “Snowy Owl Squadron 420”. His plane was shot down in March 1945 and he was a POW for 33 days. Although wounded, happily he returned home safely.

In 1945 Fred and Edie moved to Vancouver and Fred began his 29 year career as a Postal Officer.

He later transferred to Kamloops and retired to Chase in 1977.

Fred and Edie shared many wonderful adventures and travels together. They shared a love of nature and the outdoors. Fred enjoyed fishing and perfected the art of fly tying. He loved canoeing and he and Edie paddled many of the rivers and lakes of BC, including the Bowron Lakes Chain. In the early days in Winnipeg they would take their canoe “Dinah “along with a gramophone and a brick of ice cream for a day of paddling. During those days they would spend time at Grande Beach where one of the highlights was dancing to the Big Bands.

Fred also enjoyed hunting, camping, oil painting, wine making and traveling; he especially liked Mexico for its culture and its people. He built the family cabin at Heffley Lake where we spent many wonderful times with family and friends. He also built bird houses for the Swallows in Chase and looked forward to their return each year. He had a real affinity for animals and although he didn’t have the opportunity to do it often enough, he loved horseback riding.

Dad’s greatest love was for his family and spending time with us. He made us all feel cherished. He was renowned for his wonderful warm, loving “bear hugs”. He taught us to always respect and love one another. Dad we love you so much and will miss you dearly. We take comfort in knowing you and Mum are together again.

Celebration of life will be held at their home for the family November 15 2014.

ERNEST FREDERICK WISE Ernest passed away in Victoria Central Care Home July 13, 2014 at the age of 96. He is survived by his second wife, Sally (Kane) and her 2 children, Kendall (Ed O’Brien) and Kevin.

Also left to mourn are his 2 daughters, Sharon Macfadden and Frances McCallum, and his grandchildren Joe Botos, John Zela, Duff Macfadden, Luke Macfadden, and Melanie (Bradley) and Brad McCallum, and 6 great grandchildren: Jordan, Emily, Ethan, Parker, Isaac & Kane. He was predeceased by his first wife Irene (Thompson) of 56 years.

Ernest kept healthy for his 96 years by staying active. He enjoyed dancing and swimming. He walked every day that he could.

Ernest grew up in Russell, Manitoba, later moving to Thunder Bay, Ontario to work in the ship yards.

At the end of the war he joined CN Rail as an engineer.

In 1996 he moved to Sunnybrae where he enjoyed taking care of his garden. In 2012 he and Sally moved to Victoria.

Ernest is buried in the family cemetery near Melfort, Saskatchwan. Arrangements entrusted to Melfort Funeral Home Ltd. 306-752-2714.

LEE ROBINSON We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Lee Robinson, our amazing and loving husband, dad, brother, papa, family member and friend. Lee passed away suddenly at the young age of 68 in Victoria BC on Nov 5th. Lee suffered a massive stroke and passed away only days later in the arms of his one and only true love, little Lu Lu. He is survived by his wife, Lucrezia, children Leah, Melanie and Trevor, six grandchildren. Siblings, Jan, Jim, Richard, Ken and Blair. Numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Lee was born in Salmon Arm, but most of his childhood into his teen years was spent in Comox BC. Lee and Lu spent most of their lives in Salmon Arm and Enderby where they raised their three children. Lee was heavily involved in the community, from the ball parks to the hockey rink and everything in between. He is remembered by many as one of the best coaches around! Lee retired from the District of Salmon Arm in 2009. Lee and Lu moved to Victoria this past year as Lee had always dreamed of moving back to Victoria with his wife and best friend as they had lived in Victoria in 1970 and he always dreamed of moving back to live by the ocean. During their short time in Victoria, Lee and Lu enjoyed every moment together, spending time walking, laughing, talking, just being with each other. Lee also played slow-pitch in the Men’s Sr League in Victoria, he participated in the Men’s Sr. provincials in Vancouver and had the time of his life doing one of things he loved most, playing ball.

Lee also known as, Mr. Lee, Coach, papa, Uncle Lee and dad touched so many lives and all would agree he is one of the kindest, most generous people you could ever meet. Whenever Lee was around you could guarantee your day was made a whole lot brighter. His infectious smile, laugh and kind heart will forever be missed.

Please join us for a Celebration of Life for Lee on Nov 15th, 11AM at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Salmon Arm, BC (90-1st Street SE). In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in his memory.

Online condolences may be sent through Lee’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Service, Salmon Arm, BC

DEGUCHI Hama

Hama Nakagawa Deguchi was welcomed into the presence of her Lord on October 31, 2014, at the age of 96. Her love and faith in God were most important to her, and she could often be heard saying, “I’m ready to go up”; her prayer has been answered.

Hama was the oldest of 8 children. Hama taught primary school for 22 years, most of it in the Salmon Arm, BC, area.

She retired early and moved to Abbotsford in 1984 to care for her mother and continued to share her teaching gift by volunteering at John McClure Elementary School and at Seven Oaks Alliance Church in their ESL programme. Her passion was to see each of her students excel. She exercised faithfully, rarely missing an exercise class or walking opportunity at Bevan Village and MSA Manor.

Hama was predeceased by her son, Herb, and by siblings Marjorie, May, Mike, Ardith, and Harry. She is survived by daughter, Valerie (& Malcolm Brewer), sisters Kay and Audrey, three grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and many nieces and nephews. A memorial will be planned at a later date in Salmon Arm, BC. The family is grateful to the superb staff at MSA Manor for their loving and competent care, and to Connie Smith who faithfully visited Hama.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
