Lawyers are set to argue in March whether delays by the Crown should result in acquittal of a boater found guilty following a deadly crash on Shuswap Lake.

The defence already filed an application arguing Crown delays breached the Charter rights to a fair trial for Leon Reinbrecht.

March 2 and March 3 have been set aside to hear arguments on that challenge.

In October, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan found Reinbrecht guilty of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm.

On July 3, 2010, Reinbrecht’s speedboat on Shuswap Lake ran nearly head first into a houseboat piloted by Ken Brown, killing Brown and injuring a number of passengers.

Donegan found Reinbrecht was travelling too fast and recklessly in the moments before he struck the houseboat in the dark.

It took 17 months for charges to be laid against Reinbrecht.

During the course of the trial, court heard investigators wanted to return to Magna Bay at the same time of year to understand the lighting conditions at the time of the collision.

After charges were laid in December 2011, a number of potential trial dates came and went before lawyers went to court in January of this year.

But, at the last minute, Reinbrecht switched lawyers and the trial was pushed back another month.

There were also several delays during the trial itself.

Foul play not ruled out in woman’s death

By Cam Fortems

KAmLooPS THiS wEEK

Mounties are still investigating death of a Lee Creek woman – and foul play has not

been ruled out. RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said Tuesday that investigators are still treating the Nov. 28 death as suspicious.

RCMP respond-

ed to a home in the 2500-block of Squilax Anglemont Road on the Shuswap’s north shore late on Saturday, Nov. 28 after a report of a shooting.

A 47-year-old woman was found dead in the home.

A male suspect was arrested inside the house, but was later released without charge.

Debate over dredging

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

One big-ticket item in the city’s future is the dredging of the Salmon Arm wharf and marina area.

City council discussed the state of the bay during budget deliberations, because $30,000 was initially earmarked to add to the dredging reserve.

At this point, the city has about $460,000 in reserve for the project, much less than is needed.

Back in 2003, the project was estimated to cost about $1 million, and city staff said today’s cost would be well over that amount.

Rob Niewenhuizen, director of public works, told council a survey was done to see how the silt buildup compares to that in 2003.

“It shows we probably have an additional foot-and-a-half of silt on the bottom from 2003,” he said, explaining a dredging design must be completed, including what the slopes are and where the dredged material should be placed.

He said no date has been determined for dredging, but “I think if it silts in more, we won’t be able to use it and it may be pushed up even further.”

He said a preliminary investigation has been done regarding material dredged, and senior levels of government won’t allow the creation of another Christmas Island.

In trying to trim the 2016 budget and corresponding tax increase,

Const. Ken Jamieson suggested the amount added to the reserve be $5,000 instead of $30,000. He said the project will likely be a couple of million dollars and it will be at least a couple of years before approvals from various ministries are received, so a reduction in 2016 funds wouldn’t have a big impact.

Coun. Chad Eliason spoke against the plan.

“If 12 years ago it was over a million, and we’re funding at $5,000 a year, we will never get there,” he said, adding there doesn’t seem to be a program or grant available to assist with funding. He said the community loses access to the wharf in the fall because of silt, and the city has received pressure before regarding dredging.

Coun. Louise Wallace Richmond said she doesn’t want to see the wharf torn down, and asked what is reasonable in terms of the Ministry of Environment and climate change. Niewenhuizen said he is assuming the ministry will say dredging is okay as long as guidelines are followed.

Jamieson said he’s not suggesting that contributing to the dredging reserve be stopped in 2016, but that it simply be slowed down.

“Is $30,000 versus $5,000 really going to make a difference at the far end of the program?”

Niewenhuizen said he thinks dredging was last done in 1992.

Coun. Kevin Flynn asked if the amount of

■ City council reduced the amount put into reserve for future dredging of the marina area, which will cost into the millions. It is not know how long it will take before the bay will silt in so much that the marina would become unusable.

For great shopping & holiday fun make your choice the Mall at Piccadilly!

silt coming in immediately after dredging is fairly significant, and Niewenhuizen said yes, the bottom of the bay will silt in.

Flynn referred to finding a balance between contributions from current and future taxpayers. He said if the dredging was done 23 years ago, he would not have a problem borrowing for the work, given that it would last for another extended period.

The motion to reduce the reserve contribution in 2016 to $5,000 passed, with Mayor Nancy Cooper and Couns. Eliason and Tim Lavery opposed.

The 2016 budget also includes improvements to the marina ramp area and electrical work such as lighting and electrical boxes. The city is planning marina pier improvements in 2017, pending budget approval.

NANIMAHOO'S NATIVE ART GALLERY

Ceremony marks start of Montebello Block

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

Few people get excited about a small hole in the ground.

But some 40 people who attended a groundbreaking ceremony at R.J.. Haney Heritage Village last Wednesday were thrilled.

Putting the shovel in the ground was the first step in getting the $1.2 million Montebello project underway.

The large building will occupy an area across from the village’s current blacksmith shop and will be a representation of longago Salmon Arm. Storefronts will include the Miss Puff Millinery Dress Shop, S.M. McGuire General Merchant, Telephone Exchange, an ice cream shop, pharmacy and the Bank of Hamilton.

Turn the corner to Lingford’s Photo Studio, A.E. Palmer’s butcher shop and predecessor to Askew’s Foods, a barber shop with pool table and the Salmon Arm Observer with a printing shop.

At the back on the main level will be 6,000

square feet of archive space to store the museum collection.

“A door leads into a containment area where items can be taken in, cleaned off and catalogued before they go into the climate-controlled collection area,” says village manager Susan Mackie. “There’s another 600 square feet for a vault that will contain things that cannot be replaced in the case of fire or flood.”

Museum curator Deborah Chapman and her volunteers will get 800 square feet of workspace.

Back at the front of the Montebello Block, enter the General Merchant, which will be the new gift store, set up as an exhibit to show visitors what the store was like long ago.

“It will also be the gateway into the new museum gallery,” says Mackie with happy enthusiasm, noting each business will have an exhibit inside.

“Not only are we finishing the stories (of the pioneer families represented in the park), we’re completing the

Salmon Arm Museum and Heritage Association president Doug Adams says the project was dubbed Montebello so people will be able to identify it.

Some 40 people attended the groundbreaking ceremony, where association president Norma Harisch provided a history of the project. That was followed by remarks from Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo, Mayor Nancy Cooper and Bill Laird, honorary chair of the fund development committee.

The existing museum

will become the new tea room and will be called Sprig of Heather instead of Marjorie’s Tea Room because that was the long-ago name of a downtown tea room.

Adams says everyone connected with the project is thrilled to have just about reached the $900,000 mark of the $1.4 million needed to complete the Montebello Block. Adams says the plan is to celebrate the grand opening of the Montebello Block on July 1, 2017.

Shootings demand consideration Reports that the U.S. has logged more than 350 mass shootings this year are shocking. And, according to details shared by those who have tracked the violence.

It’s no surprise that the gun-control debate is heating up south of the border. The recent killing of 14 people at a San Bernardino, Calif. social services agency was reportedly the deadliest in the U.S. since the one at Sandy Hook Elementary three years ago, when 26 children and adults were gunned down.

When the issue of gun control is raised in Canada, opponents to such regulations rightly argue the laws make no difference to those with a criminal mind and a determination to do lethal damage. Regardless of the country, province or state, and regardless of whether there are laws and how strict or lax they may be, the reality is the problem lies more with the people who possess firearms than the firearms themselves. It can be argued that there is a necessity for such artillery, that completely removing guns from the equation is not the solution.

Those tasked with ensuring our safety need them.

They deal with the worst people in society and must have the ability to use lethal force not only to protect us, but to protect themselves in our service, too.

Those who hunt for food also argue their right and need to possess arms, although that is often hotly debated itself.

These points are only a few of the numerous sides to the argument. Time and time again, the debate appears to come to an impasse when weighing whether one’s legal right to possess guns means that they should.

It’s a question that needs serious consideration by lawmakers not only in the U.S., but worldwide, before mass shootings become so commonplace they no longer make headlines.

OPINION

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

Choice of rods can overwhelm As Christmas rapidly approaches, many people are trying to find that perfect gift for the angler on their list.

In last week’s column I suggested giving flies as a Christmas gift. I stated that flies could be a relatively inexpensive gift that would always be appreciated by any angler. Since then a number of people have also asked me about giving a fly rod as a gift. The answer is not all that simple.

First of all, it depends on the species of fish an angler will be pursuing, the size and type of flies they will be casting and the waters they will be fishing.

Then there’s the question of whether the angler (intended recipient) prefers to fish lakes or streams, from a boat, from shore, will they be after big fish, small fish?

In general, longer rods are better for larger waters, shorter rods for smaller waters. Rods of the same length can be designed to cast lighter or heavier lines.

But not both. A rod with a three-weight designation is designed specifically to cast a three-weight line.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray Just as an eight-weight rod is for designed to cast an eight weight line.

A three- or four-weight rod is more appropriate for catching smaller fish such as small rainbow or cutthroat trout in small streams, while a six-weight rod would be required to handle larger rainbows in lakes and rivers. And an eight- or nine-weight is required for fish such as salmon and steelhead, and so on.

There are an endless number of rods designed to cast different line weights on different types of water for different species of fish. The choices are many and varied. That is why it is important to determine, beforehand, what kind of

fishing the intended recipient will be doing.

Quite simply, there is no one rod that will allow you to fish all waters and situations. Now having said that, if I could only pick one rod, it would most likely be a nine-foot six-weight rod.

A nine-foot six-weight would certainly be more than adequate for most Interior lakes and streams. It will allow an angler to cast large caddis flies a fair distance in windy conditions while still allowing them to present small, dry flies to cautious fish feeding on the surface.

Also, just as different rods have different casting characteristics, different anglers have different casting strokes and different capabilities.

If possible, try a rod out before buying it. Better yet, have the recipient try it out, even though that may take all the surprise out of your gift. In the long run, it is better to invest money in one good rod right from the beginning.

Good-quality rods come with good warranties. We all make mistakes with our gear and it can be comfort-

ing to know that an expensive rod will be replaced by the manufacturer if damaged.

Like I said, choosing the right rod is not a simple matter. The thing is to choose a rod that will allow an angler to play a fish, control it and bring it in as quickly as possible so that it can be released back into the water.

Remember that there is little sport in catching 12to 14-inch rainbows on an eight-weight, and they will only be stressing and harming the fish if they end up overplaying a five-pound rainbow on a three-weight rod.

When it comes right down to it, the trick is to ask the right questions and get answers before spending your hard-earned money on a fly rod as a gift.

We are lucky to have a good local tackle store where the employees will be able to answer your questions and give proper advice.

In the end, if you are satisfied with your purchase, the recipient of your gift will most likely also be just as satisfied.

Splatsin centre opens with celebration

SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman Peace, harmony and goodwill are integral to the holiday season and these ideals are also part of the spirit behind the new Splatsin Community Centre, which officially opened December 5th. A massive round building with room for upwards of 2,000 people, the magnificent building is designed in the shape of the traditional underground winter lodge with a sod roof. There are 24 huge log posts and beams surrounding the multi-use main floor, and on the upper level there is a circular balcony running track along with offices and meeting rooms.

The grand opening was a huge celebration with speakers, music, drama, dancing and food, all organized by former Splatsin chief, Gloria Morgan. The day began with a pancake breakfast, followed by a welcome and an honour song. It was inspiring to watch both elders and young people wielding the scissors to cut the rawhide ribbon. As in a Pow Wow, there was a grand entry circle march with elders and honoured guests including First Nation and political leaders.

The speeches began with welcoming words from Splatsin Chief Wayne Christian,

who explained how the project took decades of dialogue and input from the community and that there were many people involved in its creation.

He emphasized how the building is dedicated “not to those who are here now, but to those who are not here, the yet unborn.” Both Regional Chief of the BC Assembly of First Nations, Shane Gottfriedson and Grand Chief Stewart Phillips provided congratulatory words and praised the Splatsin for their efforts to create a better life for their community and neighbours.

There were additional words about the brighter future thanks to the new centre from Shuswap MLA, Greg Kyllo, Enderby mayor Greg MacEwan and regional district director Hermann Halverson.

Then the entertainment began, beginning with Neskonlith storyteller Kenthen Thomas who acted out the legend about the struggle between coyote and bear to create day and night.

After more dancing, drumming and singing there was bannock and chili. After lunch, we were treated to more entertainment by Shihiya School students, who sang five songs in the Secwepemc language.

The new centre is a state of the art facility, with efficient LED lighting, stage lighting, a sound system, a cushioned gymnasium floor, showers and change rooms and numerous smaller, multi-purpose rooms. The water flowing off the green roof is captured and then used

Heat is delivered to the building from an emissions free, waste-wood fired boiler located in the nearby Fink Machine operation.

Upcoming activities at the centre include Secwepemc Nation ceremonies, banquets, as well as ongoing sports and recreation for the school and the community. With its large side doors that can accommodate trucks, the building is designed for many uses, including trade shows and car shows. Cultural events could include both theatre and live music. Perhaps one day it could be used for an Aboriginal Music Festival.

The new centre is just the latest in the list of successful projects and services in the Splatsin community. The Shishiya School has been in operation since 1973.

There are currently 43 students in Grades one to six and there is also a half-day pre-school program. Other services include the day care and the health centre.

Economic development is another key focus for the community. The Splatsin Development Corporation includes four companies that operate a diverse set of enterprises.

SOUTH SHUSWAP Danger zone to be addressed

Interim fix: Access to be improved at Sunnybrae-TCH intersection.

By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Christmas came early for the residents of Sunnybrae, but they will have to wait for summer to receive the gift.

After years of complaints and activism from area residents, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has decided to make interim adjustments to the approach of the Trans-Canada Highway at Sunnybrae-Canoe Point Road.

“Our engineers have completed the review and I can confirm that we will be able to relocate the passing lane to begin west of Sunnybrae Canoe Point Road.

This will involve constructing a dedicated right-turn lane for westbound traffic entering SunnybraeCanoe Point Road,” wrote Steve Sirett with

DANCE

the Ministry of Transportation.

Sirrett says design work will start this winter and he expects it to be complete in the summer of 2016, although he notes funding for the project is still to be confirmed.

Opal Hendrickson, an area resident who has been advocating for improvements to the highway intersection, says she is thrilled the process is finally moving ahead.

“We’ve worked so hard and for so long, close to 10 years, so I’m so excited that we are close to this interim fix.”

Hendrickson says the area would benefit from being completely four-laned; however, this new upgrade will improve safety until that can happen.

The ministry has not indicated any sort of timeline on when a full upgrade of that section

CP Rail holiday train brings awareness and hope The CP Rail Holiday Train to support food banks rolls into Salmon Arm near the Lordco parking lot next Wednesday, Dec. 16 at 7:30 p.m.

Dress warmly and take a donation of cash or food and enjoy this popular Christmas event.

The holiday train provides great entertainment for the whole family and is a reminder that not everyone has the resources to celebrate Christmas.

Again this year, the Holiday Train program is encouraging people to give heart-healthy donations.

Heart-health education and awareness is a tenet of CP’s community investment program, CP Has Heart, which focuses on improving the heart health of men, women and children in communities across North America.

This year, entertainment will be provided

by Jim Cuddy, of Blue Rodeo fame, Devin Cuddy and Kelly Prescott.

In 2011, Cuddy released Skyscraper Soul, his third solo album. His voice has never sounded better and Cuddy proves once again that his song-writing ranks with the best Canada has to offer.

From the moment Devin Cuddy was drawn to playing music, he was determined to get as close as possible to the sources of all the

sounds he loved, whether they were made by rock and roll’s founding fathers, the Grand Ole Opry’s honky tonk heroes, or Jelly Roll Morton and the kings of jazz.

No stranger to the Holiday Train, Kelly Prescott has taken part in numerous U.S. tours and was featured on many of the past Holiday Train CDs, including the gold record release in 2005.

In 2013 she shared the stage with Sheryl Crow and Take Six on the Holiday Train’s 15th anniversary show in Minnesota.

She is excited to be taking part in the Canadian tour this year with Devin Cuddy, Jim Cuddy and the fabulous Holiday Train Band.

Salmon Arm holiday train organizer Chris Moore says members of the Salmon Arm Masonic Lodge will be serving hotdogs and warm drinks, donated by local businesses.

“There will be burn barrels to keep warm around and carol signing to warm your hearts,” says Moore.

“And Santa Claus will be mingling with the crowd before the train arrives so come early for a chance to meet the big guy before he boards the train.”

Before coming to Salmon Arm, the train stops near the Houseboat Kiosk at Silver Sands Road in Sicamous at 5:45 p.m.

the community will gather in the Hive parking lot from 6 to 7:30 for the second annual Canoe Fills the Canoe.

Bring food bank donations, enjoy hot choco-

late, treats and fun.

When the holiday train rolls out of Salmon Arm, it heads to Notch Hill, arriving there at 9:15 p.m. with entertainment taking place

from 9:30 to 10 p.m.

Non-perishable food and cash donations collected at Notch Hill will go to the Sorrento Food Bank.

Valid for the 2016 playing season.

n Witch Vileda Scrunge is surrounded by other characters from Shuswap Theatre’s hilarious pantomime, Rapunzel: A Tangles Tale, which runs this weekend.

By Barb Brouwer

market news staff

There are very few shows where hissing and booing are welcome. But that’s exactly what should, and did, happen at the Saturday afternoon performance of Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale, Shuswap Theatre’s 2015 pantomime.

Audience participation is a very important part of a pantomime.

Audience members are encouraged to boo the villain, argue with the dame (who is always a man) and yell out to the

unsuspecting when the witch is near.

Meet the buxom and effusive Wanda Wave, queen of the beauty salon, who caters to everyone’s needs in this village where hair is of utmost importance – save for the “hair” apparent Prince Pompadour.

His parents, King Bouffant and Queen Beehive, have told him it’s time to find a wife.

They introduce him to four young ladies in waiting and hair fashionistas in whom he has absolutely no interest.

Wandering about the village disguised as a hip hop aficionado, Pompadour spies local witch, Vileda Scrunge, calling to her daughter, Rapunzel, high in a tower.

Rapunzel lowers her locks for her mother to ascend the ever-so-long hairdo, a tangled mess and home to a number of interesting things, including spiders. After all, it has not been cut since Rapunzel came into the witch’s “care” 17 years earlier.

Wanda, played by Kim MacMillan, is the

heroine, who draws loud cheers. Hilary Brown as the ribald witch, Vileda Scrunge, draws the most hisses and boos of any of the many excellent cast members.

Get your tickets fast because the Sunday matinee was sold out and there are only four more performances – this Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 1:30 p.m.

Get tickets at Intwined Fibre Arts or online at www.shuswaptheatre.com.

“Prostate cancer runs in my family and early diagnoses is the key. I hope by raising funds I can help raise awareness for men’s health.”

Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick and Ian Pusey, a UBC Okanagan student from Coldstream, also raised funds during the Mo-

vember campaign.

Since 2003, millions have joined the men’s health movement, raising more than $676 million and funding more than 1,000 projects through investments, focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.

Kyllo leads hairy effort to raise funds With Movember officially over, the B.C. Liberal team has finished sixth overall nationally, raising more than $55,000 for men’s health in Canada.

Movember team captain Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA, successfully recruited 85 members, exceeding his goal of 30.

“At the beginning of November, I asked for 30 good men to join me in raising vital funds for men’s health.

In just one week, we had more than doubled that number, while surpassing our fundraising goal of $10,000,” said Kyllo, who was one of 20 Liberal MLAs on the team.

Monday to Thursday

“Movember is all about uniting our community and, thanks to Greg and his team, we’re able to raise much-needed funds and awareness to continue to change the face of men’s health,” said Jesse Hayman, director of community engagement with Movember Canada.

This is the highlight of their year. These folks love Christmas – putting up decorations, wrapping gifts, entertaining, anticipating Christmas dinner with loved ones.

They’re counting the days until Christmas with glee. What could be more wonderful?!

Wait a minute!

This season is not a joyous time for many people. Days are shorter, nights are longer and darker. It’s cold and grey outside.

These folks are perpetually tired, and can hardly drag themselves out of bed in the morning.

Students earn CPA

Salmon Arm’s Colin Nobbs and Chelsea Van de Cappelle passed the multi-day national common final examination which was administered by the CPA Western School of Business in September. A total of 331 B.C. and Yukon writers have successfully completed the exam, announced today by the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia.

In order to become CPA designated, students must complete rigorous course work, pass the exam, and fulfill relevant practical experience requirements. The exam ensures all Canadian chartered professional accountants meet the same high standards, recognized nationally and internationally.

They can’t concentrate on work or school, and feel like doing absolutely nothing. They feel isolated, alone. In a word, they are depressed.

There are many reasons people get depressed at Christmas.

They may have bad memories of family Christmases early in their lives – perhaps they lost a parent to death or through divorce, or their family home was dysfunctional. They may think they should buy lots of gifts and don’t have the money to do so.

They may think all the activity around Christmas is hype, or worse, and it would be hypocritical to go along with it.

Regardless of the reason, those of us who find Christmas depressing need to navigate ourselves through this month-long season.

It’s very difficult trying to figure out what we need to do when we are

depressed. It’s hard to think clearly. However, we must decide what we need and go for it.

If we need to be alone or with only one other person most of the time because we find being in a group at Christmas overwhelming, we must arrange this, and let people important to us know about it. Then, if we decline an invitation, those people close to us will understand.

When we’re depressed, we need to simplify our lives, If it is too depressing to go into a busy shop before Christmas to buy a gift, we could make a donation to a charity in the name of a friend or family member.

Or, we could buy gift certificates at the grocery store when we’re doing our weekly shopping.

No wrapping required!

There are other things we depressives ought to do for our-

selves in this season of excess.

Practise good daily habits: eat well, but not too much; sleep enough, but not too much; get lots of fresh air, and don’t drink to excess. If we feel isolated, we must put ourselves among other people sometimes – even by sitting at the library or a coffee shop.

Being depressed at Christmas time is very tough.

However, many people who get depressed in December find that their depression begins to lift on Boxing Day. And guess what? Boxing Day is only one day after Christmas!

City council rejects funding life-jacket kiosk MARKET NEWS STAFF

No funding will be forthcoming from the City of Salmon Arm for a structure to hold free life-jackets.

Rob Sutherland and Bruce Weicker with the Shuswap Lifeboat Society, Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, addressed Salmon Arm council in early No-

vember to ask for assistance in providing a spot for lifejackets to hang, probably one near the wharf and one at Canoe Beach.

Sutherland said the PFD Loaner Station in Sicamous has been a success.

Children who are going boating or swimming who don’t have a life-jacket can borrow one for the day, on the honour system. There

would be about 10 or 15 available, sized for the younger children, six and under. Their request was considered during 2016 budget deliberations, with the structure and installation for each location valued at $5,000. A majority of council voted against funding it.

Mayor Nancy Cooper said this might be a project for a service group like the Rotary

“I think it’s a good opportunity for a service group – maybe Rotary. They could have a really nice sign with their name on it. The city could co-operate putting it up, but I don’t see us funding it.”

The motion to provide funding was defeated, with only Cooper, Eliason and Coun. Tim Lavery voting for it.

Coun. Chad Eliason suggested putting $2,500 into reserve for each location, so search and rescue could then go to a non-profit for a partnership.

“What do people do when they come here? Go boating, go swimming.”

Coun. Alan Harrison said he thinks it is a good idea, but he doesn’t see it as a local government project.

Wellness

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Live, love and laugh all you want (NC) Every year, we promise ourselves a fresh start for the New Year. We take on a new diet or exercise regime and plan to love ourselves unconditionally.

Fast forward a few months and we’re back to our old habits. It’s time to ditch that thinking and start living, loving and laughing every day.

Positive aging expert Barbara Hannah Grufferman shares these tips for those looking to live life to the fullest and not be slowed down by adult incontinence: • Live: Everyone is busy, and often overwhelmed by life’s daily demands.

That’s no excuse to stop taking care of yourself – take the time each day to go for a walk, attend a

fitness class or hit the gym, releasing endorphins for an instant mood boost. In fact, women with sensitive bladders should strengthen their muscles with squats, push-ups and the plank.

These are three essential exercises that can be done anywhere, anytime using the correct form. By working these moves into your daily routine, you can help to avoid osteoporosis and strengthen your pelvic floor to avoid light bladder leakage.

• Love: One in five women who experiences bladder leaks avoids sexual relationships due to embarrassment.

Furthermore, around 11per cent avoid seeing friends or family because they experience leakage.

Products like Always Discreet, which neutralize odours, help contain bladder leaks, and offer a comfortable fit, can help you feel like bladder leaks are no big deal.

• Laugh: Laughter is often a trigger for light bladder leakage and eight in 10 women who experience it do so when they cough or sneeze too. Discreet bladder

protection solutions can help women laugh all they want – in fact 88 per cent of women under the age of 55 felt a product that protected from leaks and was discreet to wear could help them be more socially active.

More information is available at www. alwaysdiscreet.ca. www.newscanada.com

Give the gift that reflects human kindness (NC) The holiday season can be exhausting for many of us, both in terms of time and finances. But on December 10, you can give a gift that reflects real human kindness and will take just 10 minutes by taking part in Write for Rights, a letterwriting event organized by human rights organization Amnesty International.

Write for Rights is held on or around December 10, International Human Rights Day, every year. Last year, participants in more than 80 countries including Canada, wrote more

than 3 million messages to help ty prisoners of conscience, human rights defenders under threat, and vulnerable communities facing ongoing abuse of their human rights.

How does it work?

Amnesty International selects cases about individual or community human rights. Participants write to governments, urging them to stop the human rights violations.

They can also send messages of support to the individuals at risk.

One case this year is that

of Waleed Abu al-Khair, a human rights lawyer in Saudi Arabia. Waleed Abu al-Khair was jailed under a cruel terrorism law, but he is a prisoner of conscience, having peacefully challenged the widespread crackdown on human rights across his country.

He is also the brother-inlaw and lawyer for Raif Badawi, the blogger who was jailed and sentenced to 1,000 lashes. The gift of a letter does not cost much, but its impact can be priceless. If you can’t find time to write, you may wish

A little history about holiday holly

GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway

This is the fun but busy time of year when we’re out shopping, socializing and decorating our digs both inside and out with pretty ornaments, lights and pine cone wreaths, as well as traditional plants such as mistletoe and poinsettias.

The hard-to-handle holly has found itself to be one of our favorite holiday plants as well, and it comes with a whole lot of history too.

Holly (Latin - Ilex aquifolium) are dioecious plants – meaning they have male and female flowers on each plant – and is one of about 400 species of evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs that live naturally in the temperate and sub-tropical zones of both the northern and southern hemispheres. They’re found from sea level to more than 6,600 feet and are usually a small tree or bush, but can reach up to 50 feet or more.

Modern breeding of various species has led to the introduction of several hundred new varieties worldwide, some of which are selfpollinating and very hardy. The berries ripen in winter and provide an important food source for critters and birds.

However, all their pooping has inadvertently propagated a lot more English Holly – a commercially grown variety from California to B.C. – which have quickly spread into native forest habitat, resulting in an invasive species status.

The wood is white, quite hard and tightgrained, and was historically valued for ornamental products like furniture, riding whips and weather gauges.

In Europe and western Asia, the wood has been used for carving, veneers and inlays and,

in North America, the Seminole tribe make arrows from it. Various species and their parts have been used for healing by herbalists and medicine men and women over the centuries for curing ailments such as bronchitis, influenza, fevers, rheumatism, jaundice, corns and psychological problems. The berries in ancient times were used for purgative reasons (they are mildly toxic) and the Bach Flower Remedy of holly dissipates anger and releases jealousy and envy. Dried holly stems were given to cows to increase milk production, the sap mixed with animal fat or other oils has been used as an insecticide and several species contain natural tannins that became dyes for fabrics.

Many cultures throughout the ages have attached symbolism, mysticism and religious significance to the holly, including being used to attract the pow-

ers of protection, consecration, healing, wisdom and knowledge, happiness, good luck/ will and peace. Ancient Romans would plant hollies near the house to defend it from lightning and witchcraft, while pagans and Celtics associated it with the spirits and forces of nature by creating the “Holly King,” who would rule the earth from the summer to the winter solstice. The ancient Druids believed that placing holly in their homes would shelter the elves and fairies that would join mortal humans during winter for good luck and protection against evil. Hollies were often grown in England to prevent witches from running along the top of a hedgerow that separated farms, and others believed that throwing a spear or stick made from holly would make wild animals lie down or go away. Holly wood is used for the staff of the magi (of occultism) and it’s also a favorite

for magic wands used for spells and trickery.

There’s no shortage of stuff on the Internet saying that’s why Hollywood Studios name came to be too.

In medieval Christianity, Jesus was associated with the holly, which is a word derived from the Anglo-Saxon ‘holegn’ and Old High German ‘hulis,’ meaning “holy.” Christian symbolism connected the prickly leaves of holly with Jesus’ crown of thorns and the berries with the drops of his blood shed for human salvation. This is why holly made its way into church ceremonies, both as a substitute for palms on Palm Sunday as well as a Christmas decoration and before the 1800s, a Christmas tree was actually a holly tree before they became the common evergreen.

So there’s probably a lot more to pretty but prickly holly than you thought!

Happy and safe holidays everyone!

James murray/market news

The season for culinary delights Living WEll The holiday season often centres around food for traditional and cultural reasons and for the sheer enjoyment of trying new food. Many of these wonderful foods are often rich and decadent incorporating high fat, salty or sugary ingredients.

Eating healthy during the season can be a challenge. Here are a few ideas: For the guest: It may sound odd but eat before you go out – soup or salad is a good option.

Meals at holiday parties are often later than we are used to and by the time the meal starts we can be very hungry.

We may eat as many calories from appetizers as from the dinner, as we nibble at appetizers before the meal to be served. Eating a soup or salad in advance helps make sure you will not be ravenous when you arrive at the party.

To counter drinking high-calorie beverages, bring your own tomato juice, low-calorie soda, flavoured water, coffee or flavoured tea. Drinking water between higher calorie alcoholic drinks will keep you hydrated and reduce the calories you drink.

Carry a full side plate around with you and a full drink. It is hard to eat if your hands are full. The host will be less likely to ply you with additional food if they see you with a full

glass or plate. Stay far away from the appetizer table to resist temptation.

Most importantly, eat slowly, savour and enjoy the food!

For the host: An interesting study using bowls of jelly beans showed how the way a food is served can influence how much people eat. The study found that people ate more and in some cases all the jelly beans when they were put in a large bowl together. When the jelly beans were in small bowls sorted by colour, people ate less.

You can use this same principle for appetizers.

Try putting out smaller plates of appetizers so guests can pace themselves. You can have other appetizer plates ready in the kitchen and bring them out as plates are finished.

Instead of traditional higher fat crackers and dips, use vegetables such as cucumbers, apples or jicama as the “chip,” or seek out chips made with beans that are lower in fat and have higher fibre and protein.

Use the same trick that restaurants and caterers use. If you are having a buffet, start with lower calorie items first (salads, cooked or roasted vegetables) and put higher calorie items like meat and desserts at the other end.

As guests’ plates fill up, there is less room for the higher calorie foods.

That was our experience also on Tuesday afternoon as we skied up Metford Road, across Bilbo’s Bog, onto Reino’s Run, around Cottonwood Cut-off, down to South Hub and down Larch Hills Road to the chalet. It was a quick ski but brilliant with the snow in the trees, good set track and the quiet that is the Larch Hills – welcome in this busy pre-Christmas time.

Our company has been providing quality timbers and beams to customers for over 30 years.

In 1983, Alan and his wife, Kim returned to the family farm to raise their two children. At this time, Alan started to re-build the mill that he had once worked in as a child.

It took a year to re-build the old mill. Alan started cutting ties for the Railroad which were in great demand at the time.

He was also cutting cedar cants for a re-saw mill along with beams and timbers for many homes that where built in Sicamous and the area.

Alan and Kim operated this mill for seven years. Over time, the orders kept increasing and the old mill could not keep up with the increase of large oversized timber and beams.

In 1990, Kim’s father (Merv Siegrist) and mother Anne had moved to Sicamous to become a partner. Alan and Merv bought a new mill large enough to fill the orders of the beams and timbers that the old saw mill could not handle.

The next generation has now joined the business. Alan and his son Tyler work the mill together making a great father/son team.

Our team at Hyde Sawmill takes great pride in their workmanship and in supplying a superior product to customers.

Bears beat after fierce Storm

By Scott Koch CONTRIBUTOR

The past weekend’s action at the Art Holding Memorial Arena included the storming of the arena by the Kamloops KIJHL squad and the third encounter within two weeks with Grizzlies from the Revelstoke area.

Unfortunately the Heat displayed an ongoing knack for letdowns at the worst possible moment.

On a wet and soggy Saturday the 5th of December, during the Chase Country Christmas celebrations, the team faced the Kamloops Storm.

After the first 20 minutes were complete, the local side was up 2-0, thanks to Pat Brady from Trevor Okino and Spencer Farstad, followed by Zachary Fournier from Mason Palaga and Austin Willier.

Then complacency hit and Kamloops came storming back with a pair from Zackari Andrusiak and then Sol Seibel on the power play.

Kolten Moore on the power play from Okino got the lead back for Chase for a short 37 seconds when Hunter Kero brought the Storm even at 3-3.

In the third, Wilson Northey potted the game winner for the Kamloops crew, a 4-3 win. Nic Bruyere faced 31 shots in net for the Heat.

On Dec. 6, a bus of grumpy Grizzlies arrived in Chase from Revelstoke intent to

n The Chase Heat hosted the Kamloops Storm Saturday, Dec. 5. Chase would jump out to an early two-goal lead when Zachary Fournier tapped in the loose puck through Kamloops Storm goalie Spencer Eschyschyn’s legs, scoring the second goal less than a minute later. Soon after, the Storm changed goaltenders and put in rookie goalie Liam Hughes. beat the Heat.

The visitors brandished elbows, hands and sticks to no avail throughout the evening’s ice capades. The 1st period was scoreless with the Heat receiving the referee’s attention on two occasions.

In the 2nd, Little Fort’s Tommy Brown got Chase started, helped by Okino and Braden Hughes. Just after the nine-minute mark, a bit of a donnybrook erupted that resulted in some ejections from the game.

Familiarity at times breeds contempt, and this was an indication of that as well as things to come.

So on to the 3rd period and Chase pops in three more to take a 4-0 lead, Okino on the power play from Hughes and Fournier,

then a short-handed unassisted marker from Willier, followed

by Brown’s second goal from Hughes and Moore.

Over and done with, the fans and the Heat think, but Grizzlies’ Jeff Bochon from Brady Mende think otherwise as a pair of goals 24 seconds apart create angst in the stands and on the Heat bench.

However, Logan Mostat from Okino and Fournier appears to restore some semblance of calm prior to Ryan Hozjan unassisted for the Grizzlies creating a heightened level of concern.

The last four tallies happened in a time span of one minute, nine seconds.

Prior to all that there was another tilt that en-

tertained the fans and both player benches. A bit of old-time hockey manifesting itself from two normally high skilled and quick hockey teams. Bruyere stopped 35 of 38.

I N P CHATTER at Village Lanes Fun Centre

by Calyn Buresh

Hello again everyone! I hope you’ve all had a great work week and are ready to enjoy the weekend! As a lot of you may recall, we recently sent a group of our youth bowlers to Kelowna last weekend for the Youth Championship Zone Finals! Unfortunately, none of these young bowlers will be advancing on to Provincials, but we sure are proud of them.

They battled as best they could, and congratulations to Tanner Arnouse, our Bantam Boy representative on earning a third place bronze medal at the event. Way to go kids!

One thing that I really want to touch on this week, is businesses supporting businesses. We are very fortunate in our industry to be able to provide a venue to numerous businesses for staff outings, fundraisers, and Christmas Parties! I would just like to thank a number of businesses who have supported us this winter season by allowing us to host their Christmas Staff Parties! Recently we have been fortunate enough to host the Chase Canada Post, Chase RCMP, as well as the Blind Bay Village Grocer! Thank you to all of these special groups, we have had a ton of fun hosting each and every one of you. A thank you in advance to Peoples Food & Drug, and Econospan, who will be hosting their Christmas parties here in the upcoming weeks! In BOWLING news.

We have our 10 Game Singles Tournament happening this Sunday at Village Lanes. This is one of our more competitive tournaments, so if you’re looking for something to do this weekend, stop in and see some of the talent that our province has to offer! Have a great weekend everyone! Cheers!

Successful events provide spin-off Chase Rotary Club donations for school lunch program & park Chase Fire and Rescue provide a very valuable service to the Village and Chase and the North Shuswap, serving a very large area with the Rescue Van. The Chase Rotary Club was very happy to donate $1,000 to help purchase air bags which they inflate to lift vehicles and any other obstacles that may have someone pinned under them. Chase Rotary Club thanks the members of Chase Fire and Rescue for all of the time and effort they put in to this valuable service.

The members of the Salmon Arm Rotary Club (aka as “the lunch club”) have been very busy the last few months raising money for local projects. Two successful fundraisers were held, with the proceeds used to support club projects including the elementary school lunch program, youth exchange and a new picnic shelter for Blackburn Park.

Chase Rotarians donate $1,000 to Chase Fire and Rescue to help purchase air bags for the Chase Rescue Van.

JETTY, TAMMIE LYNN December 19, 1970 - December 5, 2015 On Saturday, December 5, 2015 a strong, beautiful soul, Tammie Lynn Jetty, became an angel in heaven at the age of 44 years.

Survived by her loving husband Brent, daughter Stephanie Jetty (Myles), son Curtis Jetty (Sydney), parents Wilf and Darlene Smith, brother Jay (Lori) Smith, grandmother Margaret Smith, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family.

Because of her “larger than life” attitude Tammie will be missed by her countless friends and kids that were privileged to have called her “Mom”, especially Dylan Williams.

A celebration of Tammie’s life will be held Friday, December 11, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at the SASCU Recreation Centre, Salmon Arm, with Pastors Norm Russell and Ann Meakes officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Tammie’s name may be made to The Canadian Cancer Society, PO Box 3451, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4S2.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd. (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories of Tammie through her obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

ROY, MARGARET ANNE Apr. 27 1951 – Nov. 29, 2015 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Margaret Anne Roy at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC. Surrounded by family and friends, Margaret answered God’s calling and passed away with great peace and dignity on November 29, 2015, at the age of 64 years.

Born April 27, 1951 in Tisdale, SK, she moved to BC with her family in 1967. She pursued many employment opportunities including millwork, hairdressing, and hospital service. She completed her Licensed Practical Nurse training, which led her to a long career of patient care at Royal Inland Hospital.

Throughout her life Margaret showed great commitment to helping others in her role as an LPN. Outside of work she was a travel enthusiast, and completed trips across the globe including Europe, South Africa, Hawaii, and Tahiti. In her quiet time, she enjoyed using her tremendous talent making needlepoint art, and she would not miss a gathering of family where she greatly enjoyed preparing the feast and sharing tales of life on the farm.

The small-town girl with a huge heart will be missed by her mother Marie Francoise Roy of Salmon Arm, her many siblings, countless nieces and nephews, and her dear friends including Bette Ross of Kamloops. She was predeceased by her father Laurent Gerard Roy in 1987.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10:30AM Wednesday, December 16, 2015 at St, Joseph’s Catholic Church in Salmon Arm. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation in Kamloops, in recognition of the extraordinary care Margaret received while a patient. The family would also like to acknowledge Margaret’s family doctors, Dr. James Levins and Dr. Ada-Marie Steyn, for their excellent and compassionate care over many years of difficulty. “… Our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium, Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129.

Shop locally this holiday season Shopping is a big part of the holiday season, when families and friends gather to reconnect and exchange gifts. While the popularity of shopping online has grown, such practices are not always eco-friendly or timely, as gifts bought online must be packaged and shipped, wasting valuable resources and time that last-minute shoppers may not have.

The benefits of shopping locally go beyond convenience and the chance to reduce your carbon footprint.

The following are a few ways that shopping locally this holiday season can directly benefit your community and the people who call it home.

Local economy When men and women shop locally, they are putting money back into their local communities. Local small businesses may be owned by your neighbors, and it can be comforting to know that your holiday shopping dollars are going to support a neighbor instead of a large corporation. Local businesses also employ your neighbors, so shopping local can strengthen the local economy by creating jobs that may not exist if you and members of your community fail to sup-

port local small businesses.

Community identity Local small businesses go a long way toward creating a neighborhood identity, and that identity can create a stronger sense of community among you and your neighbors. In addition, a unique community identity can make your town more attractive to outsiders, and that appeal can improve the value of local real estate while also attracting more people to local businesses in your neighborhood.

Uniqueness of gifts The gifts you buy when shopping locally also can benefit your community.

Gifts purchased from small local businesses tend to be more unique than items bought from national chains, as smaller retailers tend to sell more homemade items than their national competitors. Recipients of such items may find such gifts more thoughtful than mass produced items bought from national chains, and the uniqueness of homemade

gifts may encourage the gifts’ recipients to visit your community and do some shopping, further benefitting your local economy.

Customer service The accessibility of customer service is another oft-overlooked benefit of shopping locally. When buying from national chains, especially during the holiday season when such businesses may be overwhelmed with orders, making contact with customer service departments can be a trying exer-

cise in patience. Long wait times on the phone or online can make the process of contacting customer service extremely frustrating. But such frustration is rare when buying from local businesses, as consumers can simply take their products into the store, where employees can immediately address their concerns. In addition, buying locally makes it more convenient for friends and family members who also live in your community to return their gifts.
