Illegal dumping sparks clean-up

By Barb Brouwer

markEt nEws staff

Jason Bellows put his outrage into action on Saturday.

With the help of 10 friends, Bellows collected close to one ton of household garbage that had been dumped on a forestry road above Sunnybrae and at another site off Shaw Road near the Canoe Creek Golf Course.

“We got close to a ton of garbage, but we still have a

lot to go,” says the owner of Westside Stores, noting the Sunnybrae site was pretty much cleaned up but the Shaw Road site requires a lot more work. “It’s just disgusting. People threw out whole framed windows, we found chainsaw parts, oil filters – just people throwing crap out.”

Bellows says there were bed frames, bed springs and other items the volunteer work crew couldn’t get out.

“You almost need heavy equipment to get some

of that crap out,” he says, pointing out the 11 volunteers left his store in Centenoka Park Mall at 11 a.m. and didn’t return until 3:30 p.m.

“I think there was some disgust and I would say definitely outrage that some people would be so ignorant as to do this,” he says of the group’s rainy Saturday foray. “Everyone was happy to be there and helping out.

Continued from front As much as they were upset by the mess there was some pride we were out doing something.”

Outrage and disgust were evident in Bellows’ voice last Friday when he was in the process of getting a work crew together.

He was out hunting early in the morning, up a forestry road, just under the cliffs of Bastion Mountain.

The avid outdoorsman says he drove by the site but was so disgusted he returned to have a closer look and found a lot of household items including patio swings, a child’s car seat and fast food garbage, among other things.

“I put it out to make a statement; it is important that we care about our animals and their homes,” he says of his post on Westside Store’s Facebook page. “This type of act is pathetic and if we get lucky enough to find some mail in the mess,

we will be reporting it to the authorities.”

While members of Saturday’s work party did not find any identifiable mail, they did get a prescription bottle with a name. It will be turned over to the RCMP. Grateful to members of the crew who worked without complaint in a torrential downpour and to Panago for providing free lunch, Bellows says he know there are illegal dumping sites up almost every local forestry road. He hopes to gather more volunteers to get back out in May, when the weather will likely be kinder.

Ben Van Nostrand, team leader of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s Environmental Health Services, says he does hear about illegal dumping including the Shaw Road site and another in South Canoe.

“We are working with various groups and if they organize a group to clean up the site we will waive the tipping fees,” he says, noting

n The Skyline Truck Stop burned to the ground on Nov. 2. The fire appears to have been started by a space heater in a second floor office.

Fundraiser to help out-of-work Skyline Truck Stop employees

By Lachlan Labere

marKEt NEwS Staff

A fundraising effort is underway to help employees of the Skyline Truck Stop through difficult times ahead.

As unstoppable flames made their way through the popular Craigellachie business during a Nov. 2 fire, Trinity Kendrick says she and fellow Skyline employees stood on the outskirts, watching, while going through a mix of emotions.

“We all stood in the parking lot and cried – laughed and cried at all the memories. It’s really sad,” said Kendrick.

The staff at the Sky-

line, Kendrick says, were like family. It was a place where lifelong friendships were born, a place where the community gathered and a refuge for many travellers.

“We had co-workers that had been there for more than 20 years, a husband and wife couple there for 20 years, and single moms and that was their only income,” said Kendrick.

Following the fire, the Skyline’s longtime owners Lyall and Charlene Hainstock were finishing their last payroll for the foreseeable future.

“They really are awesome bosses, they care about their em-

ployees,” said Kendrick. “They’re more worried about us at this point which is, I mean, it’s got to be so hard for them, you know, they sunk their livelihoods into it.”

Between that paycheque and the anticipated long wait for employment insurance benefits to kick in, Kendrick saw a need to support her coworkers. She has since started a GoFundMe fundraising account to do just that (https:// www.gofundme.com/ cn8jub3s).

Kendrick noted there aren’t any similar employment options nearby.

After the fire, Ken-

drick says a trauma counsellor was brought in to help the Skyline staff – the impact of the fire being much greater than a burnt building.

“It was big memories for a lot of people; that was where everybody went. People drove from Sicamous to come and have dinner, lunch or coffee,” said Kendrick. “And you know, the truckers on the road, (it was) the only place that’s not fast food for them to actually get a decent meal, between Vancouver and Calgary really.”

Pair arrested, hotel room searched Two men are facing drug charges after police raided a hotel room on Nov. 5.

Salmon Arm RCMP report that officers located and arrested two men who were alleged to be dealing drugs in the area of Third Street and First Avenue in Salmon Arm.

Both men were 22-year-old residents of Salmon Arm and were believed to be working together.

As a result of the arrests and seizure of drugs, local police obtained a warrant to search a hotel in Salmon Arm. A quantity of meth-

amphetamine, cocaine, crack cocaine, LSD, and marijuana was seized by the RCMP. Both men are facing trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking charges as a result of the investigation and will appear at a later date in court in Salmon Arm.

Plan needs ministry action

By Barb Brouwer

MArKet neWS StAff

The report is complete, but whether the bulk of the recommendations in the $40,000 document sit on a shelf or not, depends on the province.

This according to Columbia Shuswap Regional District Electoral Area D director Rene Talbot, whose gas tax money funded the report prepared by the Fraser Basin Council.

“The report and plan is for all the different ministries; it’s up to them to rectify some of the issues there,” he says.

“The different ministries were at the table.

They were involved in developing the plan so it falls back on all these agencies to fix the problems they’ve seen.”

Eighteen members of a planning committee had input into the report, including representatives from various ministries, First Nations and non-profit societies.

The report contains eight goals, objectives and actions around water quality, water monitoring and education, riparian area mainte-

n A report contains several recommendations for maintaining and improving the health of Gardom Lake and its environs. nance and improvement, septic health, recreation, Mallory Creek restoration and lake access.

While the planning committee had easily reached consensus on eight of the goals set out in the plan, the issue of boat trailer access to the lake was a major stumbling block.

Trailer access also drew loud and often angry opposition at a public meeting held at the Ranchero Firehall in May. But opinion in surveys returned to the Fraser Basin Council in a period of two weeks following the May meeting was divided approximately equally.

Recommendations name Teal Road as the access for trailered boats and call on the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to repair the road and CSRD to install new signage directing nontrailered watercraft to either Gardom Lake Park or Musgrave Road.

The report also recommends several improvements be made by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations.

And there are more recommendations for access at Musgrave Road and Gardom Lake Park.

The report calls for the Gardom Lake Park Society to provide “cad-

dies” (wheeled carts) to assist with the transport of small watercraft to the lake from the parking lot, remain open year-round, upgrade bathroom facilities and provide garbage/recycling bins.

Society chair Doug Hearn says the recommendations will be taken to the group’s AGM in a couple of weeks.

In terms of the caddies, Hearn notes that while the group does get funding from CSRD, it is a non-profit society.

“I don’t know anywhere else where they don’t have caddy attendants; they’ll either end up in the lake or disappear,” he says, noting the idea was never discussed at the planning committee.

“They must have come out of comments forwarded to the Fraser Basin Council, but we don’t have access to those comments, so we don’t know.”

He says he understands the motivation behind the recommendations, he’s just not sure they are practical.

The report is available online at http:// www.fraserbasin.bc.ca/ Gardom_Lake.htm.

Stores should open after 11 a.m.

I was driving home the other day with the radio on.

An ad came on for Piccadilly Mall.

The ad said that “In order to pay respect to our veterans, the mall will be operating at reduced hours on Remembrance Day.” Just as I was thinking that this was very admirable, the ad continued with “the reduced hours would be 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.”

Well, as a person whose father landed on the shores of Normandy on D-Day in June 1944, I was now very disappointed.

I think most people know that the most “sacred time” on November 11th is at 11 a.m. when all ceremonies have a moment’s silence in honour of those lost in the various wars.

So if the mall is going to “operate at reduced hours to honour the veterans,” then why not operate from noon to 5 p.m. so that workers could attend whatever Remembrance Day ceremony they choose and that 11

a.m. could still be honoured without it being just the start of another day of retail sales.

I then went online and made some inquiries in other provinces.

Manitoba’s Remembrance Day business hours are 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. for malls, and many individual stores (i.e., not in malls) are not opening at all.

Saskatchewan malls and stores are operating noon to 5 p.m. on Remembrance Day. I was not able to determine hours of operation in Alberta.

I realize that quite often any statutory holiday (which Remembrance Day is in some provinces but not in others) has business hours set provincially; however, given that 11 a.m. is such a special time on Nov. 11, I still think hours of business on that day should not commence until at least noon. Thanks for letting me vent!

Postal service still needs to adapt The news that Canada Post is halting installation of community mailboxes across the country will surely be greeted as good news by many.

Opposed by both the union representing postal workers and residents who prize door-to-door delivery, the Crown corporation’s efforts to move towards community boxes was always going to be a tough sell.

The conversion program was made more difficult by Canada Post who, in the face of evidence of widespread theft from the boxes, clamped down on information and went into a shell.

While mail delivery is hardly the most important service provided by the federal government and the agencies and corporations under its control, the fact that both the Liberals and the NDP thought it politically advantageous to halt the installation of community mailboxes speaks to the failure of Canada Post to sell its initiative to the public it serves.

Which is not to say that initiative is without merit.

Indeed, it’s hard to argue that mail delivery has not decreased in importance since the rise of the Internet. The amount of mail has been shrinking for years and will only drop more in years to come. Furthermore, many people already receive mail in community boxes.

It’s hardly ridiculous for Canada Post, and the government that owns it, to consider ways to reduce costs – even if it means service will not be the same as 50 years ago, when postal delivery played a much larger role in Canadians’ lives.

The incoming Liberal government will be expected to keep its promise to protect home delivery. But that shouldn’t entail a blank cheque for a service in need of modernization.

OpiniOn

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.

Volunteers clean up after others Last week I walked into Westside Stores and was immediately confronted by the owner, Jason Bellows.

“So what are you doing on Saturday?”

The question was straightforward and simple enough – my response equally as simple. “Why?” Bellows then informed me that he was putting together a volunteer work party to clean up a bunch of garbage that someone had dumped alongside a back road out in the Sunnybrae area.

“Sure, count me in,” I said. “I’ve got nothing better to do – not that I know of anyhow.”

And so a group numbering 11 of us gathered on a dreary, rainy Saturday morning at the store. We then proceeded to head out in a convoy of half-a-dozen pickup trucks.

Winding our way up a steep back road, we came upon a fellow working to clear the road of boulders that had come down with the rain that had started the night before.

Undaunted, and with spirits undampened, we sat in our vehicles and waited. The road was soon cleared and

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray we continued on, followed by the fellow with the frontend loader. It would seem that Mr. Bellows has a real knack for getting people to volunteer.

Continuing on our way, we eventually arrived at the site where some person or persons unknown had dumped all sorts of garbage – everything from an old mattress to a metal swing set, not to mention a prescription medicine bottle with a name on it. The bottle has subsequently been handed over to the proper authorities. It will be interesting to see what comes of it.

Enough hands, however, made light work of our task and the site was soon cleaned up. Job done.

Not quite. One of the

members of our volunteer work party mentioned that there was even more garbage, a lot more garbage, that people have been dumping along Shaw Road – just past the industrial park. So off our little band of volunteers headed.

What we saw upon our arrival was disgusting, to say the very least. We found everything from discarded window frames and broken glass to animal carcasses, an old freezer and used diapers.

There was an old La-Z-Boy chair and quite a few bags of garbage neatly placed in garbage bags. I mention the LaZ-Boy chair only because ‘lazy’ might be an operative word here.

Laziness, complete disregard for the environment, who knows? The question certainly arises why, if someone took the time to put their garbage into garbage bags, did they not simple leave it out to be collected or take it to the CSRD landfill site?

Perhaps the question was answered, in part, by the fact that as we came down Shaw Road with close to a ton of illegally dumped garbage in four pickup trucks and a trailer, we saw a nice new,

expensive looking, pickup truck heading up the road with a whole bunch of garbage bags in the back. I guess with having to make payments on a truck like that they have to cut a few corners. Who knows?

One thing that I do know for sure is that last Saturday, 11 people cared enough to spend a good part of their day in the rain, picking up after those people who simply don’t care.

I take my hat off to Leigh Mulroy, Alex McIntosh, Tiffany and Elizabeth Palamar, Melissa Hammer, Doug Palmer, Julian Kuna, Grant Hiebert and Sarah Simpson. I would especially like to thank Jason Bellows.

“Thank you for letting me be a part of your clean-up crew.”

As for the person or persons unknown who dumped all that trash along that back road in Sunnybrae and Shaw Road, not only is it plain and simply wrong to dump garbage, it is also an illegal act and subject to fines. Your actions will not always go unnoticed and hopefully one of these days you will have to be accountable for your actions in court.

South ShuSwap Be careful what you burn

Fires: Many items prohibited due to health hazards.

Director’s notes Paul Demenok This fall we’ve received a number of complaints from residents about neighbours burning debris.

While there’s something nice about having a small bonfire of leaves in the fall, there are a number of issues that should be considered by anyone thinking about burning.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) fire departments are regularly called out to suppress debris fires that are untended or have gotten out of hand.

Each average fire call costs about $800 per hour; with more than 300 calls yearto-date amongst 13 fire departments, these costs are significant.

This year CSRD fire departments managed 91 burning/nuisance complaints and suppressed 39 brush and

grass/interface forest fires.

When residents burn in non-compliance during an open burn prohibition, paid-oncall members may have to leave their day jobs to respond to calls which could have been easily prevented.

We know that burning releases hydrocarbons, pollutants, dust and ash, which are health hazards and are especially irritating to those with respiratory illnesses.

Burning household garbage, asphalt/asphalt products, plastics, construction waste, fuel and lubricant containers, paint and paint products, rubber, Styrofoam, tar paper, rail ties, tires and treated lumber is prohibited.

The burning of these materials may release toxins, some of which have been linked to the occurrence of cancer.

The CSRD does not have any bylaws regulating open burning. Under the Environmental Management Act, the province has an Open Burning Smoke Control Regulation, which may be accessed online at: http://bclaws.ca/EPLi-

braries/bclaws_new/ document/ID/freeside/34_145_93.

Before you burn, consider the following: • Is this the best way to dispose of these materials? Can anything be recycled, reused, composted, chipped into mulch, or disposed of at a CSRD dump?

The CSRD routinely offers periods each year when tipping fees are waived for disposal of brush and yard waste.

• Is the weather suitable for good smoke dispersion? What is the ventilation index?

It should be at least 55 or “fair” for an open fire. You can check the ventilation index for your area online at www.weatheroffice.com or by calling 1-888-281-2992.

If the ventilation index is lower than 55, the smoke from your fire may not disperse well and may create significant health and/ or environmental hazards.

• Is the smoke from my fire going to bother my neighbours?

• Which way is the wind blowing?

• Are there any air quality burning bans in place? To check this

• NEWS • PHOTOS • VIDEOS and more...

out, go to www.bcairquality.ca.

• Do I need to obtain a burn reference number? (If the debris pile is two metres or higher, and three metres or wider, you need to get a burn reference number). To do so, call 1-888-797-1717.

There is no charge for this, but it does register your fire.

More information is available at www.bcwildfire.ca.

These requirements for open fires are based on the common-sense approach of doing no harm to others.

Please give these points your full attention whenever you plan to burn.

Hillcrest gets upgrade

Province provides funds for spaces in shelter The B.C. government is funding 12 extreme weather shelter spaces in Salmon Arm this winter to help people whose health and safety may be threatened by cold weather.

The temporary spaces are available until March 31, 2016 as extreme weather alerts are issued in Salmon Arm. The 12 spaces are at Lighthouse Inn from the Cold, 441 Third St. SW. “Extreme winter conditions can be deadly and it is critical that vulnerable people in Salmon Arm have a warm and dry place to stay,” Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said. “Volunteers in our community work hard to ensure that temporary shelter is available during bitter weather.”

Hillcrest Elementary in Salmon Arm will be able to proceed with a heating system upgrade thanks to $505,000 contribution of taxpayer dollars from the B.C. government.

The money is being put towards the installation of a ground-source heat pump.

It is estimated the system will save 58 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, and reduce energy costs by $12,400 per year.

Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Secondary is also receiving funding from the province – $140,000 for a control system upgrade, including CO2 sensors, which is also expected to improve energy efficiency.

Work is expected to begin this year and be completed by spring 2016.

“These upgrades will greatly improve the infrastructure and operating efficiency of Hillcrest and Pleasant Valley schools,” Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said. “Our government is committed to providing safe, comfortable learning environments, and I’m pleased that we are delivering these improvements to Salmon Arm and Armstrong.”

These projects were approved under the province’s routine capital program.

Projects were chosen based on need, priority and supporting student learning.

aim of ‘building Canada a second time.’

MacQuarrie says his goals are “to address the injustices done to indigenous and poor people all over the world, to tell the whole truth about everything and to do something about the environment and Mother Earth.”

His idea for addressing the injustices done starts with “getting to know the indigenous people and finding out what they know.”

The goal is to listen, he says. “I’m not telling anybody how to do anything.”

In keeping with this philosophy, he was excited when he heard a workshop for social workers led by Kathi Camilleri, who has been facilitating healing workshops on Canada’s residential schools and policy of assimilation for years, was coming to Salmon Arm. He contacted her to see if she would lead one for others during her visit.

She would, and is.

The Building Bridges Through Understanding the Village will take place Monday, Nov. 16, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at First United Church. It’s $20, including lunch, and everyone is welcome. For tickets, go to Wearabouts or the First United Church.

ch e ho er m on e te yo am ur !

Dan MacQuarrie was 16 when he vowed to dedicate his life to social justice.

That goal continues to this day, with the promotion of a unique workshop upcoming in Salmon Arm. At age 16 MacQuarrie was living in Kaslo.

He remembers vividly when, following the bombing of Pearl Harbour in 1941, the Canadian government decided all Canadians of Japanese heritage would be sent to internment camps.

Eight hundred were to come to Kaslo.

At the local legion, a letter from the Canadian government was read out, telling of the plan and stating that the incoming people were all Canadian residents who had done nothing wrong, so should be treated accordingly.

MacQuarrie’s uncle, like a second father, was at that meeting. Some of the people present threatened to kill the newcomers, but he spoke out against them.

In response, “they physically threw him out of the hall,” remembers MacQuarrie.

His uncle was not deterred and continued to support the newcomers.

“They made the town,” MacQuarrie recalls, adding that the town of 500 more than doubled overnight, resulting in more teachers and more opportunities for everyone.

Although it was a harsh reality for those Canadians forcibly moved, for MacQuarrie

and his family, he says it eventually became “a beautiful experience.”

In 1964, MacQuarrie became a United Church minister and, in 1966, he and his spouse Edna moved to Salmon Arm. Around that time, he remembers lawyer Don McTavish noticed police were jailing First Nations people for minor offences.

McTavish formed a Mika-Nika club, the symbol being indigenous and non-indigenous people holding hands together.

MacQuarrie and Edna joined.

He remembers them meeting every week from September to spring and then, in spring, late elder Mary Thomas would take them on field trips. She would teach them about plants and their uses, as well as the stories and beliefs of her culture.

Five years later, MacQuarrie moved to Vancouver with the ministry, but moved back again in 1988.

He quotes the reply of Harold Thomas, Mary’s son, when MacQuarrie asked him how he could be so kind to white people after all they had done to his people.

He said, “I’m unable to love myself if I don’t love my enemies first.”

MacQuarrie adds: “From my point of view, indigenous people have been practising Christianity while the rest of us have been just talking about it.”

Last year, following Edna’s death in 2013, MacQuarrie formed the MacQuarrie Institute, an organization with the

Re-launching community conversations the effort now required to communicate leaves him more appreciative of the plight of new Canadians who struggle every day to make themselves understood.

Community conversations provide one more effective and inexpensive tool for building an inclusive, progressive community. Participants are divided into groups of four to five before reporting back to the larger gathering.

As well, interested organizations and businesses can now access, for free, the staff and volunteer response training required to become a designated community Safe Harbour. SASCU is currently undertaking to do so in all its Shuswap

Bernie Desrosiers outlets.

Desrosiers is conscious of a growing tendency, on his part, to avoid situations that require him to speak.

“However, listening alone is not conversation.”

The loss of one’s ability to communicate verbally restricts one’s ability to deploy other gifts one might previously have committed to the cause. Desrosiers is looking for oth-

ers, with a passion for strengthening community and able to communicate effectively to step up and lead.

The first community conversation will take place at 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 15th at Deo Lutheran Church in Salmon Arm. Subsequent gatherings will be slated, in accordance with feedback received during this initial conversation, at times and places conducive to the participation of the greatest number of participants.

There is no fee required to participate.

Registration is available at the door or by emailing someroses@ shaw.ca.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The requirements of the 2016 Replant Program are available on the BCFGA website www.bcfga.com.

For replant and grafting projects completed in 2016, the deadline for applications is November 20, 2015.

An horticultural advisor is required to help prepare and sign individual applications for the 2016 Tree Fruit Replant Program. a. A list of qualified advisors will be provided on the BCFGA website, or contact the BCFGA. b. An example of a high quality project will be provided on the BCFGA website. c. A series of reports on replanting and varieties are available and should be referenced when preparing a 2016 Tree Fruit Replant Program application. Links are available on the BCFGA website.

The Replant Program provides funding for quality projects. Applications will be rated by a committee of horticultural experts. The rating of individual applications will be based on meeting the program requirements and on the quality of their replant plan.

Projects will be placed in order of the rating for the projects, and the top-rated projects will be approved until all funding is utilized.

The Tree Fruit Replant Program is a 7 year, $8.4 million program, funded by the Province of BC.

President of Shuswap Settlement Services, Bernie Desrosiers, is struggling to communicate at the same time he is working to launch a second round of community conversations in the Shuswap.

Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease nine years ago, Desrosiers underwent brain surgery in April of this year to reduce or eliminate debilitating tremors associated with the disease. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) inserts electrodes in the patient’s brain connected to a stimulator. The current from the stimulators intercept and scramble brain waves that cause the tremors.

In his case, while the implant succeeded in reducing tremors, it also served to disrupt Desrosiers’ speech. His speech can now be laboured and often undecipherable.

Community Conversations, first organized last year, invites residents to commit to attend a one-hour conversational gathering once a month for five months.

In the process, participants envision the community of which they aspire to be a part, and to publicly commit the gifts and talents they are willing to bring to the task. Articulating our individual and communal stories prompts us to behave in ways that conform to our story. By focusing on who we are rather than who we were, conversations avoid the tendency to point fingers and apportion blame.

Desrosiers says that

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Pharmacists a First Line Support for Patients Managing Diabetes Treatments (NC) Diabetes has become a major health concern in Canada, as more than 20 people are diagnosed with the disease every hour of every day. In Ontario alone, over ten per cent of the population is currently living with diabetes, and many struggle to properly manage medications and lifestyle changes.

The good news is that local pharmacists can play a key role in helping people living with diabetes properly manage their disease.

MedsCheck is a government-funded medication review program that allows eligible Ontarians to receive a free one-on-one consultation with a pharmacist to ensure safe, effective and appropriate use of prescription, over-the-counter and alternative medications for those taking three prescription medications or more for a chronic condition.

According to Sean Simpson, Chair of the Board, Ontario Pharmacists Association (OPA), any Ontarian diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and who is managing their diabetes with medication qualifies for a consultation under the MedsCheck for Diabetes program.

“It’s important for patients with diabetes to know that pharmacists are here to help them better understand their condition - sharing the

‘dos and don’ts’ of medication management and other lifestyle challenges,” says Simpson. “Through MedsCheck, pharmacists can provide medication advice, guidance and tips, so that patients can safely and successfully achieve the best possible health outcomes.”

Last year alone, more than 311,100 patients benefitted from a MedsCheck for Diabetes consultation or follow-up consultation with their pharmacist, and more than 1.6 million MedsCheck reviews were completed overall.

Your MedsCheck Checklist • Check with your pharmacist to see if you are eligible. The MedsCheck consultation is available to: - Anyone taking three or more prescription medications for a chronic condition - People who are diagnosed with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes - Residents of licensed longterm care homes - People who are homebound, taking a minimum of three chronic prescription medications and unable to physically visit their community pharmacy • Schedule your MedsCheck review, which consists of a one-on-one, 20 to

Getting comfortable with comfort food LIVING WELL

Everyone eats comfort food. For many of us it may be traditional or familiar food that we ate in our childhood home. Sometimes we reach for comfort food when we may not even be hungry.

That’s because comfort food can make us feel… comforted.

Comfort foods are often “junk food” – quick, easy to eat and typically high in fat or sugar. We often keep eating until we become so full that it hurts. Instead of feeling comforted, we can end up feeling bad about ourselves for eating so much.

Then, to manage these feelings, we convince ourselves that we had to eat this food to feel better. It can become an unhealthy cycle. Taking a moment to think about how much comfort food we eat, why we reach for comfort foods and what kind of comfort we seek can help break the cycle. Here are a few tips.

• Consider keeping a record of why you eat comfort foods.

Are you happy and celebrating? Feeling sad or lonely? Are you tired and need a boost? Perhaps you are bored or feeling angry and hurt? Keep a record of your feelings and what you eat at those times. It helps you learn about yourself.

• Be aware of portion size and how much you are eating.

It is very easy to eat something without thinking only to realize later you have eaten too much. The website www.mindlesseating.org explains why we eat more than we think and has simple steps to help you become more mindful of what you are eating. Check it out!

• Change your cravings for unhealthy comfort foods.

First, take a deep breath and drink a glass of water. If you’re feeling sad, lonely or bored try an activity to take your mind off your worries. Do a household task, go for a walk or text a friend.

When you are feeling tired, try a warm bath or shower and a rest. If you’re feeling angry or hurt reach out to those who can support you.

• Create new healthy comfort food memories.

Start new comfort traditions by enjoying regular balanced meals with family or friends.

If you have questions about healthy eating, food or nutrition call HealthLinkBC at 811. Registered dietitians are available Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can leave a message after hours. For more information, visit HealthLinkBC.

ONLINE SAFETY BEGINS AT HOME. Talk to your kids about staying safe on the internet.

CONTRIBUTOR

On Friday, Nov. 6, the Armstrong-based North Okanagan Knights faced the Heat at the Art Holding Memorial Arena.

Chase controlled the play for the first 40 minutes, scoring three times.

In the first, it was Kolten Moore from Hayden Orton and Trevor Okino.

In the second, the battered Spencer Farstad got the Heat’s second from Okino and then Moore scored his second of the night, assisted by Zachary Fournier and Braden Hughes.

In the last month Farstad received 20 stitches around his mouth from an errant puck. Just as the stitches healed he took a high stick on the chin, receiving seven more stitches.

In the third, after the Knights’ coach blistered the paint off the team’s dressing room during the second intermission, a different team hit the ice.

Chase, assuming that the game was won, was not prepared and had trouble shifting into a higher gear.

North Okanagan potted a pair and if the

I N P CHATTER at Village Lanes Fun Centre

by Calyn Buresh

The big story of the week is our Youth Bowlers and the amazing performance they put on this past weekend at the first YBC Travel Tournament of the season! Capri Valley Lanes in Kelowna hosted the first youth tournament of the year, and low and behold, Chase youth bowlers walked away with the gold!! Travel tournaments are a fun trip away where youth bowlers compete by bowling three games, having a lunch put on by the host centre, and a brief awards ceremony. 12 teams from across the Okanagan competed in the Pins Over Average format tournament, and we ended up on top! Our youth team bowled an astounding 300+ pins over their combined team average, something that is NOT easy to do. Congratulations to Alex Greenaway, Jordan Fletcher, Mike Davis, Matt Arnouse, Tristan Jules, and coach, Ali Maki. It’s a great start to our tournament season here at Village Lanes, and it was nice to see this group of young guys focus and play to win. They were told going into the last game that they were tied for second place, and all of them said that they wouldn’t settle for second, and that they wanted first.

In the last game of the tournament the boys were +179 pins over their team average in the single game. It’s always nice to come home with a medal, and hopefully this will push this group of boys to focus just a little bit extra in their league throughout the season. Leagues are a great way to come out and spend time with your friends, but it’s nice to see a small group of young bowlers eager and wanting to better themselves in the sport. Congratulations again guys! Very proud proprietor!! Until next week, cheers everyone!

Police impound vehicles

Check stops: Residents warned to drive responsibly.

RCMP R E P O RT Chase RCMP are focussing on road safety, as fall turns to winter and the days are getting shorter.

On Nov. 4, Chase RCMP conducted a traffic check stop on Shuswap-Chase Creek Road. Approximately 30 vehicles were checked, which resulted in one driver being issued a driving prohibition and having their vehicle impounded.

As the Christmas party season approaches, police advise the public that officers will

be checking for impaired drivers. Be safe by ensuring you have a designated driver before going out to celebrate.

Impaired driver On Nov. 5 at 12:30 a.m., Chase RCMP conducted a traffic stop on Shaw Street near Hillside Avenue.

The male driver displayed symptoms of impairment and, after an investigation, was issued a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition and his vehicle was impounded.

Deer, bear killed On Nov. 3 about 8:50 p.m., Chase RCMP were dispatched to a traffic hazard com-

plaint on Highway #1, near Squilax-Turtle Valley Road.

A deer carcass and a black bear carcass were found in the middle of the highway. The road maintenance contractor removed the carcasses, and no collisions were reported to police.

With the shorter daylight hours this time of year, the RCMP reminds drivers to watch for wildlife attempting to cross highways and rural roads.

Mystery crash On Nov. 2 about 10 p.m., Chase RCMP responded to a singlevehicle collision at the intersection of View Road and SquilaxAnglemont Road in

Lee Creek. A blue Ford Focus was located in the ditch, the alarm was sounding and the airbags had been deployed. However, no one was in the vehicle.

The vehicle had a misused validation tag on the licence plate, and the investigation is continuing.

Generator stolen On Oct. 28, Chase RCMP received a report of a break-in to a cabin in Anglemont.

A Yamaha 4200 ISE generator, worth about $4,000, was taken.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the Chase Detachment at 250-679-3221 or Crimestoppers.

Conservation officers a thin green line

B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – The B.C. government declared the first Conservation Officer Day on Nov. 4, to recognize the 110-year history of the service that started out as mostly volunteer “game wardens.”

This is overdue recognition for what is essentially a police force that only receives public notice when a bear or cougar has to be killed to protect people.

The ceremony at the B.C. legislature included awards. Chief Conservation Officer Doug Forsdick presented long-service medals and two commendations for lifesaving.

One was to CO Jason Hawkes, who rescued a family of four from their sinking boat on Kootenay Lake last June. He reached them in rough, windy conditions when they were waist-deep in water, far

from shore.

The other went to CO Andrew Anaka, for rescuing an angler from an overturned boat, whom he found “extremely hypothermic” at the base of a cliff at a lake near Powell River on Jan. 22. A second angler didn’t make it to shore.

An exemplary service medal went to CO Micah Kneller, who caught up with Fort Nelson RCMP officers and paramedics on Sept. 6, as they treated a hunter who had been attacked by a grizzly in a remote area. As darkness fell, Kneller found a second injured hunter, got the group together, built a fire and assisted until a rescue helicopter from CFB Comox lifted the hunters out at 3 a.m.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert had a couple of things on his mind at the event. He relayed a report from the B.C. Government Employees’ Union that there has been a 10 per cent cut in CO staff since 2002.

Not so, replied Environment Minister Mary Polak. The number has “hovered around 148” in that time, she said,

including seasonal staff for peak hunting and fishing periods.

Polak said extra investment has gone into trucks that serve as mobile command centres, so people aren’t sitting in offices waiting for the phone to ring. They patrol more and respond faster, which can be vital.

Chandra Herbert also blasted the government for a “donation” of $100,000 from the Freshwater Fishing Society of B.C. to increase angling enforcement this summer, adding more seasonal CO days. “What’s next, bake sales?” he said.

The real story is a bit more complicated. In March I reported that the B.C. Liberal government finally made good on a decade-old promise to turn over all revenue from freshwater fishing licence sales to the society.

Its revenue went from $7 million to $10 million once the government finally ended the practice of skimming some off for the general treasury.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett recalled that the society was established during the first years of Gordon Camp-

bell’s government, a period of what Bennett called “religious zeal” for privatization.

The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working.

The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst. In short, they’re real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

They don’t get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais.

Most of the mature larch has likely been logged, but fortunately in the distance there were plantations filled with golden young larch that gleamed in a brief ray of sunshine.

And along the logging road to Rosemund Lake I found both young and mature larch that stood out against a backdrop of cedar and fir. This is one of the reasons the Larch Hills are so special, because one can find just about every species of B.C. tree here, including groves of ancient old-

Over the last few weeks, I have been visiting various locations in order to capture more images needed for my book, Everything Shuswap, which is now in production. Trips to the Larch Hills twice, Mt. Ida and Scotch Creek have reinforced my appreciation for the amazing diversity of ecosystems, the magnificent vistas and the excellent trail networks we have in the Shuswap. For those who live in or near Salmon Arm, the nearby Larch Hills provide a wealth of opportunities.

In early September, my goal was to get a better image of Mara Lake from the Hyde Mountain lookout trail. Following the instructions

smooth from the flowing water. The hike into the falls was just as difficult as I remembered, but after inching my way along the steep moss-covered hillside, clinging to roots and branches, I managed to reach the falls and get the photos needed.

There is a well-used forest recreation camping area nearby that is without any infrastructure.

Perhaps one day, proper trails could be built here so more people could experience the beauty of this canyon, which also has an interesting history dating back to the 1880s Scotch Creek gold rush era.

One might think that photos would be available of the autumn display of golden larch trees in the Larch Hills.

But after making a number of attempts to find some good images, I headed up the roads we are more familiar with skiing on in the winter to look for larch. After learning that the best views would be near the Larch Lake loop road, I instead found new large clearcuts and what look

stalled these as part of what was likely one of the first trail systems for the region.

It was a short hike to the west peak viewpoints where we were thankful to find trees unscathed by the massive 1998 forest fire.

The rare hanging bog is still there, but unfortunately there is an ATV track scarring the entrance from another irresponsible rider. The steep and dangerous terrain atop the mountain makes it impossible to reach the last peak to the west, which can be accessed via a route up from Silver Creek.

There is a great loop trail back to the parking lot, from which I was able to get an interesting photo of layers of ancient sedimentary rock with the volcanic rock visible in the background.

Many years ago, one of our favourite spots to fish for trout were the pools in Scotch Creek below the waterfall. It was a pleasure to return and re-discover this steep canyon where the rock has been polished

in the Shuswap Trails guidebook, I pushed and rode my bike up the steep trail from near Sicamous to the top of the Larch Hills and then cycled the logging roads to where the steep uphill trail begins. Upon reaching the top of the cliffs, I was in awe as this is one of the Shuswap’s most spectacular views. Despite the distant haze that befuddles every photographer, I was able to capture the scene, and the resulting image may help with the promotion of the proposed rail-to-trail project. The return ride down the steep trail with its 33 switchbacks tested my abilities, but it was fun!

For the chapter on geology, I needed a photo of the rare Shuswap volcanic rock atop Mt. Ida. It had been years since we were there last and we had always hiked up the trail from the north above the cemetery.

We were surprised to find a small parking lot, outhouse and signs at the trailhead that date back to the 1970s, when Shuswap Outdoors in-

deaths from influenza and its complications across Canada.

Hospitalized patients and seniors in residential care are more vulnerable to influenza than healthy adults.

To help protect them, all health authority employees, students, physicians, residents, contractors, vendors, volunteers and visitors to health care facilities must get immunized

by Dec. 1, 2015, or wear a mask when in a patient care area.

“For pregnant women, seniors and residents of long-term care facilities, influenza could cause serious illness requiring hospitalization.

JAMES “LARRY” SCOTT Larry passed away peacefully at the age of 59, on November 5th, 2015.

Larry was born in Armstrong and was raised on Yankee Flats Road where he was proud of his family heritage land.

He started into the logging industry during his teens, helping his dad log and working at the sawmill down the road.

Larry was preceded by his wife, they were married for 29 years and had three children Lindsay, Devon and Jessica. He prided himself in his logging company which kept him busy. He worked magic on his cat while building roads and could fall a tree with great precision. He was so proud of his kids playing hockey and took great pleasure in coaching Devon’s team. He believed everyone deserved an equal chance at hockey and was truly dedicated to minor hockey. He enjoyed fishing, playing hockey and baseball. He enjoyed socializing and knew how to bug you in just the right way it brought a smile to your face.

Larry is survived by his children Lindsay(Joel), Devon(Laura) and Jessica(Rylan) and two grandsons Sunny and Sawyer, mother Jennie Scott, sister Violet(Roy) and nieces Charolette (Russel) and Elizabeth.

Larry is now at peace with his wife Trena, his dad George and his grandson Scott.

There will be a drop in memorial tea held for Larry at the silver creek hall on Sunday November 15 from 1-4 Please feel free to join the family and visit with old friends as Larry loved to do.

Online condolences may be sent through Larry’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

WEST, LAVERNA JULY 25, 1934 – OCTOBER 30, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Laverna West. She will be greatly missed by her daughters Marilyn, (Mike) Picell, Tammy (Rob) Miller and five grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren and Brother George (Chris) Hart and many nieces and nephews and friends. She is preceeded by her husband Lloyd and son Ray. You and dad have gone fishing. Tea will be held at a later date.

GEORGE PATON JACKSON 1918 –2015 George passed away peacefully, with his daughters by his side, at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm, BC on Friday October 30th, 2015 at the age of 97 years.

George will be lovingly remembered by his daughters, Ruth (Terry) and Joyce (Sid); grandchildren, Angela (Paul), Jennifer (Lief), Lisa (Mike), Meghan, Graham & Nathan; great grandchildren, Katie, Ben, Jackson, Soren, Hazel & Johan; and sisters, Tina & Cathy (Ralph) He was predeceased by his wife, Irene in 1966.

He was also predeceased by his parents, George and Hetty; his twin sister, Hetty; and his brothers, Robert, Tommy & David.

George was born in Kippen, Scotland on June 21, 1918, and moved with his family to Silver Creek, a farming community near Salmon Arm, in 1926.

Once on his own, he worked in the lower mainland for several years where he met Irene Morris, the love of his life. They married in 1952 and 1953 they moved to a farm in White Lake where they started their family and raised Hereford cattle. George remained on the farm until 1971. He subsequently worked and lived in Salmon Arm, Armstrong, and Vernon before moving into McGuire Lake Lodge in Salmon Arm in 2007.

His favorite pastimes were going to dances, attending auctions in Armstrong and spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. In later life, George also enjoyed many hours sitting

by McGuire Lake visiting with family and friends.

His funeral service will be held at the chapel of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm on Saturday, November 21st at 2:00 pm, with interment of George’s cremated remains to follow at a later date in Mount Ida Cemetery.

His family would like to extend a special “thank you” to the doctors, nurses and staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital who cared so kindly for George in his final days.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of one’s choice in George’s name.

Online condolences may be sent through George’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

SCOTT, JOHN DIXON 1933 – 2015 It is with difficult and profound grief, we announce the passing of John Dixon Scott on November 1st, 2015 at his residence at Pioneer Lodge, Salmon Arm at the age of 82 years.

“Scotty” was born in Kirkland Lake, Northern Ontario on August 25, 1933.

His life was an amazing whirlwind of events, memories and of course, leaving a definite colorful, lasting impression.

He is survived by three children Tamara, Shawn and Shannon as well as his dearest friend and caregiver Liza Cook.

Scotty’s life included playing junior hockey for three years then joining the Air Force for five years as a physical training instructor.

He mainly resided in Vancouver from 1958 – 1998 where he began the next leg of his life doing what he loved most, bartending on a social basis and to the elite as well as coaching women’s baseball which he was so proud of!

His next journey took him to Salmon Arm where he lived the rest of his life starting in “1998” becoming a “regular” to us and making friendships non-stop prior to moving into Pioneer Lodge where he lived since 2006.

The “Hideaway” became his “home” and we adopted him and put him to work bartending our events and Christmas parties.

Never a dull moment!! There really isn’t enough paper to reflect his whole life. The memories he impressed on so many of us will never be forgotten.

We cannot emphasize the appreciation, love and help that we received from Pioneer Lodge and staff, Dr. DeWet and staff as well as Vince and Tammy Fischer.

A celebration of Scotty’s life will be held on Monday, November 16, 2015 at 2:00 p.m., at Pioneer Lodge Gathering Room.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm 250 833-1129. Email condolences and share your memories of Scotty through his obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.

Sicamous and Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area E Labour Market Assessment and Planning Project

LABOUR MARKET SURVEY The project and this Survey is driven by one question:

• What can Sicamous and CSRD Area E do to be a more successful place to work and do business?

The purpose of this survey is to identify labour market needs in Sicamous and CSRD Area E.

FINAL COMMUNITY MEETINGS November 17 & November 24.

THE FIRST MEETING will be a presentation that outlines all of the information that has been collected, and helps people to understand the relevance/importance. In addition to the findings being presented, there will be some time for discussion. Specifically around, given the findings, what are some strategic actions Sicamous and Area E might take to improve their situation? In addition to the information shared and discussed during this meeting there will also be a hard-copy final report that people can have (both paper copies and also available online at www.sicamouslabour.com). This will be an evening meeting, held at the Sicamous Arena.

November 17. Doors open at 5:45 PM. Meeting starts at 6:00 PM. Meeting should run to around 8:30 PM. Refreshments/snacks provided.

THE SECOND MEETING will be a day-long planning session, hosted by our workshop and planning facilitator. The goal of this meeting will be to create a detailed action plan around what Sicamous and Area E can do to make the area a better place to live, work, and do business given the research results.

The end result will be an action plan with specific tasks, timelines, and people to involve. A map, if you will, that defines the needed steps and outlines how to begin working towards them as a community.

November 24. Doors open at 8:30 AM. Meeting starts at 9:00AM. Meeting should run to around 4:00 PM with lunch provided as well as refreshments/snacks provided.
