Power boat ban for Gardom Lake

CSRD: Transport Canada approved request, restrictions in effect immediately.

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

A management plan for Gardom Lake is in the works, with one issue already solved.

It took a while, but the Columbia Shuswap Regional District finally got confirmation that gaspowered motors will no longer be allowed to operate on Gardom Lake.

At their Nov. 13 board meeting, regional district directors were advised that Transport Canada has granted the motor restriction application – effective immediately.

Planner Jan Thingsted told directors that members of the public raised the idea of a total ban on

OIL, LUBE & FILTER All Makes ~ All Models

gas-powered boats during preparation of the Electoral Area D Parks Plan and the Ranchero-Deep Creek Official Community Plan.

“Following extensive public consultation and stakeholder engagement, support was given to this initiative and, in August 2011, CSRD staff submitted an application to Transport Canada to amend the Canadian Shipping Act and include Gardom Lake as a Schedule 3 water body – waters on which power-driven vessels are prohibited,” wrote Thingsted in his report.

“We’re pretty excited,” said Val Janzen, a member of the Friends of Gardom Lake, the group that started the initiative in 1998. “At that time, most of the boats on the lake were gas-powered and

there were slicks of oil and gasoline residue – it was quite a problem.”

Janzen says the friends are grateful to CSRD and MP Colin Mayes, who asked Transport Canada to move the matter forward this summer.

“It probably wasn’t high up on the list of things to do; it could have sat on the desk forever,” Janzen says.

The prohibition is already in place and signs will be going up shortly.

Thingsted noted the timing is good as the regional district will begin the pubic engagement See Management on page A2

Electoral Area D Falkland/Salmon Valley/Ranchero director Rene Talbot agreed.

“It has been a long process; for the last three years it has been sitting on someone’s desk in Ottawa,” he complained. “This will improve water quality.

It’s just the first stage, but this is a real bonus.

My thanks to staff, especially Marcin (Pachcinski, former Parks team leader). People will be thrilled.”

Gardom Lake has suffered from both invasive flora and fauna, including stubborn yellow flag iris, along with bass and perch, which were altering the entire ecosystem.

Meanwhile, stakeholders will consider a number of issues beginning next week. The

regional district invites residents to attend an inaugural meeting on the new management plan for Gardom Lake at the Ranchero Firehall at 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24.

Mike Simpson of the Fraser Basin Council will explain the steps and process that will be in place in order to achieve the plan.

The non-native species quickly out-competed the trout population in the lake and there were declines in amphibian and dragonfly populations.

Following a 2009 Rotenone treatment that ridded the lake of the fish invaders, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. re-stocked the lake with larger trout – a move that prompted a surge in boat traffic.

Now another invasive species is threatening the lake’s ecosystem.

“Bittersweet nightshade is terribly aggressive, more so than any wetland plant we’ve had before,” says Janzen, noting the plant is proliferating in the wetland areas. “Eradicating it is very difficult – all the roots have to be taken and you have to keep on it.”

Janzen says the plant

Incumbents taste victory

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

There will be familiar faces representing the Shuswap at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Board table.

Area E Rural Sicamous-Malakwa director Rhona Martin will mark her 24th year on the board and says she is happy to be doing so.

Martin won in all five polls, receiving 229 votes over opponent Dan Letendre, who got 70. Support for Martin was particularly strong in Malakwa where she picked up 128 votes to Letendre’s total of 30.

“I think I have a pretty clear message of support from the people. I am just very pleased,” she said. “I am grateful and I have to say it’s been a long time since I’ve had to campaign.”

Martin said she used the campaign as an opportunity to go to at least 96 per cent of the doors in her constituency.

“I walked around and got to see what’s happening on the ground, and that’s a good thing sometimes,” said the elated director Saturday night. “People asked me questions and some had issues to do with their own places so they could show it to me.”

Of concern to Martin is the fact she met a lot of people who were surprised they could vote if they were renters. Oth-

ers told her they thought they couldn’t vote because they don’t live in town (Sicamous).

“I don’t know how we’re gonna get that message out, but we have to make sure people are aware of the process,” she said. “A lot of people asked what I’ve been working on and some asked me to come into their house and explain what a regional district does.”

Paul Demenok was in a celebratory mood Saturday night, winning in five out of six polls with 714 votes to opponent Allan McClelland’s 459. Richard Norman, who had tried to withdraw from the race, got 46 votes.

The vote at Sorrento Memorial Hall gave McClelland a small win with 136 votes to Demenok’s 124. The busiest poll was Cedar Centre, where Demenok picked up a substantial lead, taking 367 votes to McClelland’s 250.

“It was great to see more voters participate in 2014 than 2011– that’s good,” said Demenok on Monday, applauding the “exceptional” efforts of his volunteers. “I am particularly grateful to see strong support for my platform. It will be an honour and a privilege to serve this community for the next four years.”

What surprised Demenok was the degree of misunderstanding about what the CSRD

does or doesn’t do.

“People were confused by which level of government does what,” he said. “The most frequent complaint I heard was about roads. The rural roads budget is not substantial enough to do the job.”

Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area D Falkland/Salmon Valley/Ranchero director Rene Talbot expressed relief at winning another term.

“I am glad it’s over, one way or the other,” he said. “It’s also nice to come out on top and I want to thank all the people who went out and voted.”

Talbot won with 280 votes, while newcomer Kelly Stalker picked up 184 nods. Stalker beat Talbot in Salmon Valley, getting 41 votes to his 30, but Talbot took a resounding win, 158 to 87, in Falkland where he lives.

“I’d like to congratulate the woman that ran against me; she did quite well,” said Talbot at the close of the polls.

As he prepares for the four-year term, Talbot is looking forward to the Gardom Lake Management plan that gets underway next week, although he’s cranky that Ottawa refused to ante up, leaving him to raid his gas tax funds.

Acknowledging he never does well in the Salmon Valley, Talbot said work is being done on a parallel trail (to Salmon Valley Road), so it’s ready to go when appropriate funding opportunities become available.

Talbot also has a beef with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

“Every couple of years (MOTI) come to the board,” he said. “I always put my hand up to bring up rural roads but the ministry only worries about Highway 1 and 97.”

On a more cheerful note, Talbot says he was grateful to the number of people who helped with his campaign.

“It would be hard to do it without them.”

Planning for the future of Larch Hills

By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The Larch Hills ski area is one of the region’s premier attractions, not only for cross- country skiing but for year-round recreation including snowshoeing, hiking, biking and horseback riding.

And in order to maintain and improve the area for the future, the Larch Hills Nordic Society is conducting a strategic planning process and attracted more than 100 people to a public input session. Next up will be a survey to provide opportunities for input on everything from trail planning to infrastructure, to chalet expansion, camping and even looking ahead to the potential impacts of climate change.

The final document will contain some short-, medium- and long-term plans for the next 20 years.

“We have close to 1,000 members and that’s not even counting

the other user groups, we have a large annual budget and we felt it was time to review the way we do things and have an overall planning process for the area,” said Dave Wallensteen, a member of the steering committee for the strategic plan.

The society has hired Kathy Porter of Summit Environmental to oversee the process and help in the development of a series of plans and priorities for the area.

“We took some of the broad-based ideas and split into groups to hear people’s ideas, interests and suggestions,” said Wallensteen. “It gave everyone an opportunity for input.”

Wallensteen said one of the best things to come out of the process so far is to recognize and acknowledge all the good things about Larch Hills.

“We function with volunteers and many of us have been around for a long time, so we think about the issues or problems that need

LNG industry on the ropes

They may not be letting onto it in the press, presenting a nonchalant and confident face to the people of the province, but if Christy Clark and Rich Coleman aren’t worried about the fate of the LNG industry in B.C. then they are either the most pompous individuals in the country or they are simply clueless.

In the past several months, rather than good news item after good news item coming ahead of the end of 2014, word from proponents of multi-billion dollar export terminals has been increasingly negative.

In the last three months, Apache pulled out of the Kitimat LNG project, Petronas threatened delay of the Pacific NorthWest LNG project and, recently, the BG Group announced it was “pushing pause” on its Ridley Island terminal.

When a single company raises questions about the viability of an LNG export terminal, it is fairly easy to dismiss it as an issue with that company. But when three separate companies behind arguably the three largest LNG projects all indicate this may not be the time to dip their toes into the B.C. energy export pond, that’s a sign of an issue with the industry itself.

Coupled with dropping gas prices, competition from our neighbours to the south, the high cost of construction relative to other areas and an expected influx of new supply, B.C. could be left out in the cold.

While there may be some who would welcome the departure of the industry, those people need to look at the bigger picture and wake up to reality.

If you want to see the LNG industry fail, then you better find a viable substitute that would create countless spinoff businesses that are going to pick up the tax tab to keep the services we all enjoy so much running smoothly and in perpetuity.

Or, in the alternative, prepare to either lose those services or cough up a lot more when it comes to tax time.

OPINION

Time has a way of changing everything There was a time when I would have been annoyed at having to wait for a train to pass. I would have been in a hurry to go or get back from somewhere. I would have thought my time too valuable to just sit there waiting.

My, how things change!

The other day, I was stopped at a railway crossing near Chase waiting for the Rocky Mountaineer to go by. A passenger onboard waved to me. I mindlessly waved back. As it rolled past, my thoughts drifted to summer days of long ago when I used to walk along the railway tracks near my grandmother’s house. Whenever a passenger train would pass by, I would stand at the side of the tracks and wave to people looking out the windows, wondering where they were heading, where they had come from and what adventures lay ahead for them farther on down the line. I used to wish it was me onboard, looking out as the train took me somewhere far away. Back then, I felt like a cloud that was doomed to just hang around waiting for even the slightest hint of

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray a breeze to blow me somewhere far away. I still feel like that sometimes.

As a kid, I remember sitting amid the tall grass that grew in a field not far from our house. Back then, the grass seemed so tall. I was a lot smaller. To me it just stretched out so far in all directions that I could totally disappear into what seemed like a huge ocean of green waves. When a train would come by, I would yell and shout at the top of my lungs. Everything would be drowned out by the sound of the train. I wouldn’t even hear my own voice. It would be lost in the fury of the moment. Then the train would pass and all would be back

to normal. Once again I would be stuck there alone, adrift in my sea of green.

Often when I’m stuck at a railway crossing somewhere, waiting for a train to pass, I think about the words to Gordon Lightfoot’s Canadian Railway Trilogy. I think the two of us share a similar sense of wanderlust.

I also cannot help but wonder if Lightfoot ever found himself waiting at a railway crossing somewhere and ended up writing some of the lines to his song.

“There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run, when the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun. Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the deep dark forest was too silent to be real.”

It would seem Lightfoot and I also share a similar perspective on the history of the railway. How many trees, how many forests were cut down to build that railway?

How many streams and spawning beds destroyed, how many lives altered, how many dreams dashed?

Yes, it can be said it was

a different time back then when people had different attitudes, especially about the environment. The country was ‘a growin,’ but not without its growing pains.

The railway may have changed a nation, but time has a way of changing everything.

While I sat there waiting for the Rocky Mountaineer to go by, thinking about the words to Lightfoot’s song, remembering experiences from my youth, I also realized a lot of time has passed since Lightfoot wrote his song. He recorded it back in 1967.

Things have indeed changed. In many areas of this vast country, trains are not what they used to be.

Where once steel rails shone brightly, weeds and wildflowers, bushes and bull rushes seem to be ever encroaching on the remaining thin strips of ground where rail lines still run.

The ‘great steel rail’ was built in the name of progress. Now progress seems to have deemed the railway unnecessary – a thing of the past.

Shuswap’s only tailings dam SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman Given the elevated concerns about mine tailings after the Mt. Polley disaster, I recently took advantage of the opportunity for a tour of the Samatosum Mine reclamation site near Adams Lake.

The open pit silver, lead, zinc and copper mine was in operation for just three years beginning in 1989 and produced some 566,000 tons of ore along with nine million tons of waste rock and 542,000 tons of tailings.

Despite its small footprint of just 189 hectares, the reclamation efforts took many years and resulted in the need for a water treatment plant that may be required to remain in operation forever.

Most mines require a processing plant to operate alongside the pit or the underground tunnels to pulverize the ore and separate out the minerals from the surrounding rock, thus producing tailings.

Often the tailings are acid-generating rock and thus must be deposited in a tailings pond so that water covers the material and prevents it from oxidizing and thus polluting nearby waterways.

At the Samatosum site,

the dam for the pond was constructed in a natural gully with nearby moraine soils and the tailings were covered with water from a nearby creek, which now flows through the 10-hectare pond towards Johnson Creek.

The 250-metre-long dam is covered in grass and is completely stable with no chance of failure other than from a massive earthquake.

The exiting water is tested often and has the same alkaline pH as the natural creek. And there are water plants taking hold in the pond, including some cattails.

One of the maintenance projects is ensuring that the outlet is never blocked with debris.

The original mining company deposited the waste rock in layers on a slope adjacent to the open pit. The plan was for the layering of clean rock with the acid generating rock to prevent acid rock drainage from occurring. However, testing of the water moving through the waste rock and the open pit in 1996 showed that the plan was not working and thus BC Environment issued a control order for the construction of a water treatment plant.

After visiting the tailings pond and the open pit, where the acidic water is stained brown from iron, the maintenance staff showed me the water treatment plant.

Above the plant is a surge pond that collects the water before it flows into the plant,

where the relatively simple process of neutralizing the water with lime is done using the latest in technology.

The lime is mixed into a slurry, which is then added to a large tank with a slow-moving paddle. The lime slurry precipitates a mineral rich sludge from the water and a small amount of sludge is added back to the tank, which helps to maintain the precipitation process – much like a grain of sand produces the pearl in an oyster.

Before treatment, the pH of the water entering the system ranges from three to eight, and after treatment the water becomes slightly alkaline with a pH of eight, which is similar to the naturally occurring pH of Johnson Creek. The treated water is piped to a settling pond, that allows for any remaining minerals to settle out before the water is returned to the creek.

The sludge is stored at the former mine milling site, and given the relatively small amount of sludge produced each year it will take decades before a vegetation cover is required.

Nonetheless, various types of vegetation covers have been tested so that when the time comes, there will be a plan in place.

At the top of the steep waste rock hillside there are permanently installed mirror platforms that are used with survey equipment to measure any possible movement of the material. Problems with this hillside include gully-

ing from erosion prior to the establishment of vegetation and minor slumping at the bottom began to occur in 2003.

Consequently, the slope was re-contoured in 2008.

The award-winning reclamation of the Samatosum mine site, with its now well-established mix of grass, legumes, trees and natural vegetation, might be some consolation for the current owners of the site. However the responsibility for the operation has passed from one corporation to another whenever one mining company swallowed up another one.

Sites like Samatosum are considered liabilities on the books of these companies and one can only wonder if the profits gained by three years of mining are sufficient to cover the maintenance costs that could be required forever.

Request for park referred to CSRD staff MARKET NEWS STAff

A request for support by Sunnybrae residents to turn 19.5 hectares of waterfront industrial land into a conservation park will be addressed by a new board.

In an Oct. 21 email to Columbia Shuswap Regional District chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton and Area C director Paul Demenok, Rachel and Ian Sudbury asked the regional district to consider establishing the park at an area adjacent to Herald Provincial Park comprised of about six acres of lightly cleared industrial waterfront and 14 acres of untouched semi-

waterfront forest, and a provincially leased 25.53-acre aquatic log boom.

The couple noted the area has long been used as a log boom for temporary storage prior to land and lake transportation of timber, and that the parcel has been valued at $2.9 million.

The couple describe the property as a “heavily trafficked wildlife corridor,” with a groundwater aquifer that provides a water source for a variety of wildlife species.

“In an area where the vast majority of surrounding areas have been developed for human use, the maintenance of this corridor may be critical for spe-

cies survival, distribution among various habitat areas and, ultimately, ecosystem viability and resilience,” they write.

Among the benefits listed in their letter is that the park would make the lake more accessible to more people and provide an excellent eco-tourism opportunity.

The Sudbury’s are

also concerned CSRD planning staff have indicated several large developers have expressed interest in purchasing and developing the property as high density residential.

Directors at the Nov. 13 meeting agreed unanimously to refer the letter to CSRD staff and have the matter brought back to the board at a later date.

Parent seeks no-smoking zone

Sorrento: Interior Health supports smoking ban bylaw.

By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Concern about both the effects of secondhand smoke and the exposure of children to a smoking lifestyle, has led one Sorrento parent to advocate for a no-smoking buffer zone near Sorrento Elementary and the Sorrento Preschool.

Tobias Godson has children who attend Sorrento Elementary and said he became disturbed on seeing parents standing on the sidewalk smoking near the bus and car dropoff zones.

Godson says requests for the smokers to refrain didn’t work, so he has approached Interior Health about expanding the nosmoking area.

“I feel really strongly about this. When I see kids imitating the smokers like it’s cool, I find that really disturbing. That’s not the message I think kids need to see when they get dropped off at school.”

Smoking is already

not permitted on school property, however, the school district has no jurisdiction over public sidewalks.

Godson says he has been pleased with the response of the various government agencies.

“I’m very happy to see there seems to be a lot of support for this,” adds Godson.

He is now working with Interior Health’s tobacco reduction coordinators to wards the creation of an enlarged no-smoking area.

“We are planning to engage with the CSRD and School District #83 to help them look at ways we could promote a healthy environment... As we know smoking is the single leading preventable cause of disease and death, so it is a significant public health issue,” says Jeff Conners, a tobacco reductio co-ordinator with Interior Health.

“We are willing to work with any area that is looking to create smoke-free areas. One of our goals is for Inte-

rior Health to advance smoking ban bylaws.”

Conners says nonsmoking buffer areas which are larger than the legally required minimums have been created in places like Thompson Rivers University. He also points to Sicamous as a leader in the area, as they have created smoking ban bylaws for all playgrounds, sports fields, beaches and trails.

Principal Ian Landy says the School District would be supportive of additional nonsmoking areas near the school.

“Any time we can bring the discussion of healthy choices up with the kids, that is a good thing and we certainly would always take the position against smoking,” said Landy, who points out the idea of a no-smoking buffer zone was not initiated by the school itself.

“I support parents who have taken this on as a passion project and contacted Interior Health.”

It is not known when the issue will come before the CSRD board of directors for consideration.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Expert tips to aid your digestion (NC) Few of us think about our digestive system until something goes wrong. To avoid issues like upset stomach, ulcers, diarrhea or constipation, Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacist Rami Saaloukeh offers tips to keep your digestive system in top shape.

Eat a high-fibre diet. Get plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean meats and whole grains to make it easier for your body to break down and absorb the nutrients you need.

Avoid ‘bad’ foods. Cut out or avoid processed foods, saturated fat, salt and preservatives, excess alcohol or coffee, fried foods and very acidic foods.

Salt, for instance, can cause bloating, while saturated fats slow down digestion and alcohol interferes with acid secretion and nutrient absorption.

Add probiotics (healthy bacteria). Probiotics in your diet contribute to a healthy gut flora and help your digestive and immune systems. You can find probiotics in some yogurt and fermented foods, or try a supplement like Life Brand probiotic capsules with 10 billion active probiotic cells.

Eat slowly, chew well. Chewing slowly and longer increases digestive enzymes and leads to better digestion. It also means you’ll gulp less and take in less air as you eat, which reduces burping and gas.

Eat regular, smaller meals and avoid overeating. Smaller, more frequent meals will keep your metabolism working and help avoid extreme blood sugar changes that may stress your digestive system. This in turn reduces overeating and

Drink more water. To help dissolve nutrients and soluble fibre, prevent constipation and help your body get rid of waste, aim to drink at least two litres a day.

While these tips support digestive health, it’s good to know there are remedies for temporary issues. Products containing calcium carbonate and bismuth can help relieve stomach aches, heartburn and indigestion. www.newscanada.com

How to beat the afternoon slump

TAMMY HOWKINS

LAURA LAVIGNE

rector of education in neurodegeneration at the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, proposes five tips to avoid the dreaded afternoon doldrums, as follows: 1. Don’t work through lunch – taking a break will give your brain a little boost.

2. Work on a good sleep routine – a restless night can have you feeling tired by midafternoon.

3. Don’t skip meals – make sure your brain gets a good balance of carbs and protein.

4. Take a nap – closing

(NC) Does afternoon slump, post-lunch dip, or midday crash sound familiar? Call it what you will, it’s a cycle that affects most of us to varying degrees.

Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised. Researchers from the Work and Health Research Centre at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom found that during a typical workweek, office workers spend on average five hours and 41 minutes per day sitting at their desk.

5. Go for a pick me up– when consumed moderately, caffeine can be a friend rather than a foe.

If drinking something warm in the afternoon isn’t your cup of tea and leaves you feeling more soothed than energized, cold beverages such as Red Bull are suggested as a more refreshing option while offering the same functional benefits. www.newscanada.com

’Tips drop one, tie another The Salmon Arm Midget A Female Silvertips ended up with a loss and a tie in weekend action versus Kelowna and Penticton.

On Saturday, the Tips lost 4-3 to Kelowna.

Kelowna took an early lead and held on after a strong comeback in the third by Salmon Arm.

Emily Clarke and Cassidy Marshall scored for the Tips early and captain Hailey Haskell scored on a rocket onetimer from the point to get them close, but they could not even up the score.

On Sunday in Penticton, the Tips gave up a lead in the third and then

battled back to tie 4-4.

Mikayla Stirling scored twice on great one timers, and Clarke scored far side on a breakaway to put the Tips up 3-1.

Down a goal, the Tips pulled their goalie and Brooke Miller capitalized to even the score.

n Chase voters showed up in greater numbers this year, choosing Rick Berrigan as mayor and, for council, Ali Maki, Steven Scott, David Lepsoe and Nancy Egely, who will serve in municipal office for the next four years.

New faces elected to council

By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAff

It’s Wednesday afternoon – four days after the municipal election, and Ali Maki is still in shock. But pleasantly so.

According to the unofficial results, the councillor elect received the most votes of all candidates for council or mayor – 591 in total. Her assessment of this result is that voters wanted to see a bit of change on council, “a new energy perhaps.”

Maki is thrilled with the make-up of the new council, as is mayorelect Rick Berrigan.

“It looks like it’s going to be a very strong

council that I think will easily be able to work together,” said Berrigan. “I look forward to meeting with them all and finding their visions and what they would like to see done, and then roll up our sleeves and get to work.”

Berrigan earned 532 votes, beating out mayoral candidates Harry Danyluk with 346 votes and Jocelyn Nash with 156.

Joining Berrigan and Maki are council incumbents Steven Scott (512) and David Lepsoe (480), as well as newcomer Nancy Egely (476). Other results in the race for council include: Rod Crowe received 469 votes,

Carmen Lynch – 330, Val Donnelly – 288, Don Price – 250, and Diane Overton – 215.

Chase voters turned out in slightly greater numbers in this election. Of 2,210 eligible voters, 1,041 visited the ballot box. In 2011, 963 people voted.

Berrigan suggests the increase may be due to some of the issues council faced this year, including a proposed pellet plant.

“There were definitely some controversial issues earlier on in the year and I think more people came out to voice their opinion through voting,” said Berrigan, adding he doesn’t expect the transition from councillor to mayor will be too difficult.”

“And I still stand beside my belief that we need to promote growth in the community to build a higher

Rotary Update ROTARY CLUBS OF SALMON ARM - SHUSWAP

Shuswap Rotary Helps Hungry Children Shuswap Rotary has two programs to help hungry children, one here in the Shuswap, and one in Africa. Here in the Shuswap, Shuswap Rotary supports breakfast and lunch programs in four schools. In Kenya, they feed children at Barani Primary School near Mombasa, Kenya. This Rotary group has a passion for helping children grow and learn by providing them with food, a basic life necessity that is essential for learning.

In the Shuswap, four schools are supported from a fund of $6500– Salmon Arm West Elementary, South Broadview Elementary, Ranchero Elementary, and A.L. Fortune Secondary School. The programs look different in every school, but there are three main ways children are supported. Breakfast programs provide a healthy start to the day, by serving a hot or cold breakfast to anyone who wants it. In some schools, a full bag lunch is provided discretely to a few students.

In another school, a hot soup and a bun program feeds more students. In most schools, a supplemental lunch programs gives food items to children who are still hungry after they finish their lunch.

Schools appreciate this help. Principals say that having the financial resources to provide lunches has helped staff and volunteer parents work as a team in order to provide food for students. Parents in difficult financial circumstances have expressed gratitude, too. In one school, as many as 60% of the students come for breakfast. Some of the most struggling learners are able to “turn their day around” by having breakfast in a welcoming environment. In addition to academic benefits for individual students, dif-

ficult behavioural issues have been reduced, creating a better learning environment for everyone.

In Kenya, Barani Primary school enrolls students in grades K-8, about 1200 students, in Kanamai village, just north of Mombasa, Kenya. Class size is about 70 students, outhouses have a hole in the floor, and running water is fairly new.

Shuswap Rotary provides lunch to about 400 students per day, from a fund of about $7000.

Their lunches consist of cooked maize, cooked beans and a cooked spinach and onion mix. Barani School’s standing on Kenyan national exams has gone up an amazing 10% over two years, and the teachers say the lunch program has made the difference.

In addition to the lunches, the school has been provided with scouting uniforms (the start of this program), pump repair, a new water tank, and new taps. With the help of another donor, Shuswap Rotary delivered 50 computers

to the school, and helped set up a computer lab with internet connection for the school. Even security had to be set up – the computer lab windows were empty squares in the wall, and bars had to be added.

But the heart of this program and the greatest benefit to the school is the regular lunch program for so many students.

One way to support these programs is to fill the Rotary parking meter near the front entrance at Save On Foods. If you would like more information, or to support either of these programs, contact Shuswap Rotary President Rob McKibbon at 250-804-6288 or sold@bigrob.ca. For more information or to support the Barani lunch program, contact Mike Boudreau at 250-833-5647 extension 200. For more information or to support the Shuswap Schools Food Program, contact Kathy Dunfield at 250-832-5579 or dunfield@telus. net.

RUBY BRIDGE (nee Widmark) Florence Ruby Anna was born to parents Olaf and Hilma Widmark on March 9, 1926. She was the ‘tail end’ of a family of 5 kids, having 3 brothers, Stanley, Walter and Harold and one sister Opal. Her father homesteaded the farm property at Balmoral with her grandfather, who had both emigrated from Sweden. Her mother’s family were also from Sweden, and had started off their new world adventure in Minnesota, and then moved north to the Falun area of Alberta.

Ruby’s family was raised on the farm. Family income was supplemented by work in lumber mills, hewing railway ties, selling block ice from the pond and sales of milk and cream.

Ruby went to school as a young child at the old Balmoral School, now located at O’Keefe Ranch near Vernon. She attended school and reached Grade 9 before beginning to work as a cook in a variety of locations, sometimes in fishing or logging camps and also at the Montebello Hotel and York Café in Salmon Arm. She went to stay with her Grandma Olson in Wetaskiwin AB and to work at the Brightview Store, where she met the love of her life, George ‘Nip’ Bridge. They were married at St. Mary’s Church in Sorrento in 1950 after Nip’s parents, Lester and Harriet bought the small orchard where Sorrento Hardware is now located.

Ruby and Nip started a family in 1951, and by 1954 had moved back to the farm to help Ruby’s mother. Her mother lived with the Ruby and Nip for 15 years until her death. Ruby remained living on the original homestead until 2013 when she moved to Lakeside Manor.

Ruby and Nip farmed together, cut railway ties, ran a trail riding business and made a life together surrounded by their family and a wide network of farming friends. They enjoyed the Old Time Dance Club and socializing as well as working hard on the farm.

Ruby was a fiercely independent and capable woman, especially when faced with continuing on after the death of Nip in an industrial accident in 1983. She learned how to drive a car at the age of 56. With her brother, sister, their spouses and friends she did a few memorable bus tours and cruises. In later years Ruby enjoyed her grandchildren, painting, gardening, making music, skiing, walking and skating on the pond. She loved having neighbors and family drop by for coffee and her wonderful meals and baking. She loved to cook for large family events and make soup for the White Lake New Horizons club gatherings and drive her friend Lena shopping and to social events.

Ruby passed away November 12, 2014 and is survived by her 3 children, Judy (Marv) Southwick, Jack (Maureen) Bridge, Cherilyn (John) Drew, 8 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild. She will be greatly missed by all her family, as well as extended relatives and friends.

The family would like to thank Dr. Adele Preto and Dr. Angela Plessis for their many years of care as well as the staff at Lakeside Manor, Piccadilly Care and the Hospice Society. In lieu of flowers donations to the Shuswap Hospice Society or the local Red Cross Loan Cupboard are encouraged.

Online condolences can be made through Ruby’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Family will be hosting a celebration of life on Saturday, November 29th, 2014 at Carlin Hall at 2:00pm.

PUDDIFANT, GEORGE ALFRED George Alfred Puddifant passed away peacefully at home in Salmon Arm, BC, on Tuesday, November 11, 2014, at the age of 82 with his wife of 63 years, Edna, at his side.

George was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on April 1, 1932.

George was married at 19 years of age to the love of his life, Edna Campbell, and moved to Ontario where George and Edna welcomed two of their five children, Linda and Carol. While living in Ontario George worked at the Steep Rock Iron Mines. When the mine shut down George moved his family back to his roots in Manitoba where the couple welcomed two more children, Bob and Judy. George first worked installing terrazzo flooring but being a very hard worker and dedicated to providing a good living for his family, then moved on to work for the federal penitentiary in Stony Mountain, Manitoba.

During this time George studied engineering by correspondence from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology where he earned his level 2 certification while working shift work and raising a young family. After several years at the Stony Mountain Penitentiary, George had the opportunity for promotion and he and Edna travelled by train with the kids to Abbotsford, BC, where George had a new employment opportunity at the Matsqui Penitentiary. They then welcomed their fifth child, daughter Kim. While living in Abbotsford, George was involved in the community by coaching hockey and baseball.

George was a wonderful man, a loving husband, dedicated and caring father, grandfather and friend and touched many hearts during his lifetime. He was always ready with a humourous story or two and loved being a part of a large family. He played many card games over the years with his children and grandchildren.

He will be deeply missed by his wife of 63 years, Edna, daughter Linda Peters (Henry), son Bob Puddifant (Barb), daughter Judy McCarthy (Grant) and daughter Kim Anderson (Mark). George was predeceased by his wonderful daughter, Carol DeVeer, in 2003. George is also survived by 11 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by all.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Osteoporosis Society and/or the Osteoarthritis Society.

DZIERZENGA, ELVIRA April 2nd 1932 - November 6th 2014 Elvira Dzierzenga died peacefully with family and friends by her side at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm at the age of 82 years. She will be sadly missed by her husband Erich of 60 years, her son Dieter (Ingrid) of Germany and daughter Conny (Ken) of Salmon Arm; 3 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; sister Gerlinde (Hans) of Germany; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her daughter Karin in 2011, sisters Erna and Brunhilde of Germany. Elvira was born in Eigenfeld, Bessarabia (today part of Moldova and Ukraine). Mom was an excellent cook and spent hours knitting and crocheting sweaters and dresses for her children and herself.

She traveled throughout Southern Germany as a food demonstrator and was proud to relate her experiences. She spent most of her life in Germany and moved to Salmon Arm with her husband in 1994. She enjoyed German folk music and loved to sing along. She also enjoyed watching Steiner Theatre videos that her daughter Karin spent hours recording. We want a special thanks to go out to the staff at Bastion Special Care Unit for the loving care she received and also to Dr. Heunis for his support. As a Jehovah’s Witness she believed in the biblical hope of a future resurrection back to human life in paradise here on earth. We look forward to seeing her then, in health and happiness.

VICTOR (VIC) PETER PAGES July 4, 1936 – November 12, 2014 Vic passed away peacefully after a very short battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife Doris, daughters Lisa (Earle) and Memory: sons Willie (Tanya) and Christopher (Andrea): stepdaughters Diana, Jayne, Rita, Sandra and Barbara: stepsons Royce, Larry and Norman: 10 grandchildren, 15 step grandchildren and 2 step great grandchildren.

Vic was predeceased by his parents Pete and Irene, brothers Albert and Leo, wife Janet, daughter Vicki, grandson Justus and step daughter Sandra.

It didn’t seem to matter where Vic lived, he was very community minded. During the 18 years he spent on Haida Gwaii, he volunteered with the fire department, including the position of Fire Chief; was a councillor for the village of Masset, was a charter member of the Masset Haida Lions Club and on the “fun side” a member of the Dune Buggy Club. Vic arrived in Chase in 2000 and continued his community involvement. He joined the Chase Lions Club and over the years served on several committees including membership chair, concession chair and President 2003-2005 and 2009-2010. He was involved in the initial organizing of Chase Citizens on Patrol and served on the COP executive for several years. He was a member of the Chase and District Museum and Archives for many years and served in the position of President from 2010-2014. He was President of Sun Valley Housing Society for 3 years. He was also a trustee for the Chase Evangelical Free Church for 3 years.

He will be greatly missed.

The family would like to thank Dr. Barnard for his support, care and understanding and the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice for the compassionate care Vic received during his time there.

A celebration of Vic’s life will be held on Sat. November 22 at 1 p.m. at the Chase Community Hall with Pastor Glen Follweiter officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Vic’s memory to the Kamloops Hospice Society, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S., Kamloops, V2E 2S9.

NORMAN RALPH LEWIS February 21, 1929 - November 13, 2014 Norman passed away peacefully in his home with his wife June of 65 years at his side. He is survived by eight children, daughter Chyril, son Chris (Dawn), daughter Jackie (Jim), son Bob (Helena), son Dan (Mar), daughter, Sandra (Rick), daughter Cindy (Dave), daughter Shelly (Todd).

Papa Norman leaves behind 27 grandchildren and 37 great grandchildren.

Norm worked across Canada on Oil and Gas pipeline installations. Norm’s greatest love was horses and farm life, he loved watching and participating in horse events.

Norm’s family would like to thank Dr. Keith Hepburn, Pharmasave and all the staff at Community Care.

A celebration of Life service for Norm will be held on Saturday November 22, 2014 at 2pm in the Common room at the family home (Sun Ridge Estates, 3201 6th Ave NE, Salmon Arm, BC) Online condolences may be sent through Norm’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com DOREEN McCAIG Doreen Gloria McCaig passed away suddenly at her residence at the age of 79 years. A celebration of life will be held on November 28, 2014 in the Mountainside Room at Bowers Funeral Home from 3 until 5 pm. Jack Bowers, a long time friend, is the celebrant, and tributes and anecdotes will be shared by friends.

The deBoer girls will sing special songs as part of the celebration. Cremation will be followed by a private interment in Mt. Ida cemetery with her husband Bruce who predeceased her in 2004.

Doreen was born in Vegreville, AB on October 7, 1935. The family later moved to Grimshaw. She married Bruce McCaig in 1954 and they relocated from Calgary to Salmon Arm in 1958. She first worked at the Bank of Commerce prior to opening her flower shop, the House of Flowers, in 1974.

Left to remember Doreen are her special friends Gary and Cheryl as well as a cousin by marriage Muriel Murrant of Peace River. Additionally, there are more people that can be counted who enjoyed her loyal long time friendship.

Doreen gained great respect for her artistic ability with flowers and for her prowess and love of baking. Her pies, cakes and bread earned her many awards at the Fall Fair, where she convened the baking section for many years.

She loved hosting dinner parties, both casual evenings with friends and extravagant dinners complete with hand written menus and fabulous table settings. Of course the evening would not have been complete without suitable beverages. A very few lucky brides also had their wedding cakes prepared by Doreen.

She was an avid reader and very proud of her skills as a wordsmith. She was a well-rounded reader with wide ranging interests. Her full size, unabridged dictionary held pride of place in her living room. Her extensive library brought her a great deal of satisfaction. A love of animals was Doreen’s trademark. She was especially fond of marmalade cats but no matter the colour any stray cat received her love, a home and veterinary care.

Doreen had a sense of humour like no other and she always said if you couldn’t laugh, especially at yourself, there was no use in living. Her idea of humour closely paralleled that of Maxine, her favourite cartoon character. This attribute stood her in good stead when facing the challenges that life threw at her. She lived life on her own terms and fiercely defended her right to make her own decisions. Doreen was not shy at showing her enthusiasm for living life with passion and sharing her opinions. She often expressed her gratitude to those who helped her remain in her home.

Memorial donations in memory of Doreen may be sent to the Shuswap Branch of the SPCA or to the Shuswap Community Foundation. Email condolences may be sent to Doreen’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com .

Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

Lost & Found FOUND in Chase a fly fishing rod to claim phone Andrew at (250)679-2393 My daughter is 4 years old and she has lost her stuffed bunny rabbit. This is the stuffy who went everywhere with her. Although it appears she didn’t come home with us the last time. We’re not sure if it was lost in Vernon or Salmon Arm, as we were both cities that day. The bunny is similar to the bunny in the book “The Bunny’s Tale”, except our missing bunny shows signs of being loved a lot. She’s brown and white with a faded blue bow and white tail. If anyone could help reunite the bunny with my daughter, I would be very grateful. (250)379-2556 (250)938-4135
