Fugitive falcon found in parking lot

By Barb Brouwer

markEt nEws staff

Griffin the gyr-saker falcon is back home and resting after a weeklong misadventure, thanks to Dee LeCerf, a Shuswap Middle School secretary.

After school Tuesday, students went to LeCerf to tell her there was a hawk hopping around outside and had gone under one of the parent’s cars.

Calls were placed to the RCMP and SPCA in an effort to find out where the bird belonged.

LeCerf says it was a parent outside the school who said someone had been looking for a falcon and she knew it was the right bird because it

had leathers on its legs.

“I got a shovel and a box and a parent gently scooted it out from under the car,” LeCerf says, noting the handle of the plastic shovel was used to coax the very weak and tired bird into the open. “He flopped around a bit trying to get away, but we held it down with the shovel; we didn’t want it to get away or get under the car again.”

With the help of the parent, LeCerf managed to get Griffin into a large box and called Mandy McDiarmid, Griffin’s owner and operator of Shuswap Birds of Prey.

n Mandy McDiarmid poses with Griffin, a gyr-saker falcon, who was found Tuesday afternoon. He slipped his tethers the week before and had been on the loose since that time. The valuable falcon is used at the as a natural deterrent to prevent birds from gathering at the Salmon Arm Landfill and Salmon Arm Airport.

Owner appreciative of assistance

Continued from front “She was in tears, she was so happy to have him back,” says LeCerf. “She peeked into the box, but he was so tired; he was very still and he made no noise.”

The young Griffin broke free of his tether on Jan. 12 while doing his job of chasing birds away from the Salmon Arm Landfill.

Born in captivity and

trained by McDiarmid, Griffin was a bit frightened when she retrieved him, probably because of all the action around him.

“He’s a lot happier now that he’s at home,” she says of his roomy and comfortable mew, (also known as an aviary) that includes outdoor and heated indoor spaces and good food such as his favourite quail.

“He’s doing well; he lost a bit of weight but

he was a fat bird when he took off.”

Griffin is going to moult, a process that takes a few months, so he won’t be back on the job until summer. In the meantime, Chica, a female Harris hawk will take over.

McDiarmid says she would like to give “a big shout out” to the many Shuswap residents who sent pictures and reported possible sightings and, of course, the people at Shuswap

Middle School who recovered Griffin.

This reminds McDiarmid of one of her long-term dreams – to establish a wildlife rescue for raptors.

“Karen Beggs, who used to run Kee-Two, said ‘Oh Mandy, watch out. That’s how I started and, in the end, I was taking in everything,’” McDiarmid laughs, noting she plans to stick with raptors and will not be ready to establish such a sanctuary

Thank You

in the near future.

Meanwhile, a delighted LeCerf was very happy to have helped retrieve Griffin, who was her third bird rescue at the school.

“We had a Cooper’s hawk that hit the window and a bald eagle that had a stick jammed up under his wing,” she says. “That’s my passion; I love to rescue.

“Like my mom said, it would have been right up my alley to rehabilitate wildlife.”

Dinoflex fined for fatal accident

By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAFF

A $36,543 fine has been issued to Dinoflex, a Salmon Arm rubber recycling company, after an incident resulted in a worker’s death in August, 2013.

Shane Gorner, 19, was killed while leaning between plates of a rubber block press to reposition excess rubber in the mould when the plates closed unexpectedly.

WorkSafeBC’s investigation found that the machine lacked safeguarding and had substandard controls.

According to the penalty report, WorkSafeBC officers had discussed safeguarding requirements with Dinoflex before this incident. But their investigation found that the press lacked adequate safeguarding, had substandard controls and the firm had instructed workers to use a work procedure that required them to enter the press.

“These repeated and high-risk violations show that the firm failed to ensure the health and safety of workers in its workplace,” it reads.

When contacted by the Market News, Dinoflex CEO Mark Bunz issued a statement expressing the depth of the tragedy.

“Shane’s family lost a son and a brother that day and we will not lose sight of that,” he says.

Shane Gorner Bunz notes the company cooperated fully with the WorkSafe BC critical accident investigation team over the course of the investigation. “...Based on the orders written immediately following the accident this ruling was inevitable,” he says.

“We regret the loss of life the accident caused, but what is important now, and what I believe is important to the family, is what we have learned as an organization as well as the culture of safety we’ve developed since the time of the accident,” he adds.

Bunz says the learning process following this incident has made Dinoflex a safer workplace for everyone.

“I am proud of our employees for how they have handled themselves throughout this process and their commitment to continuous improvement in all facets of our business including safety.”

Bunz says Dinoflex will continue to support the family by contributing annually to the Shane Gorner Endowment Fund established through the Shuswap Community Foundation and other programs in honour of his memory.

Dollar dropping, think sustainable This January, the dropping Canadian dollar has been dominating the news.

What does it all mean. For those travelling outside of the country, it sucks. There’s really no other word for it.

The Euro and the American dollar are both considerably higher, which means we don’t get much for our money overseas, or south of the border — two favourite destinations.

But there are opportunities as well.

More budget-conscious Canadians may take the opportunity to look at what’s available to them here at home. Hopping over the border for shopping doesn’t look so tempting anymore.

And tourists from other places face the opposite of what Canadian travellers do in terms of value for their money. Tourism is big here in British Columbia and we can really benefit from those extra bodies.

There is also an opportunity for our farmers.

We’ve been hearing dire warnings about the future price of various fruits and vegetables with California in the midst of a multi-year drought.

The prices being charged by our local small farmers suddenly don’t look out of line at all anymore.

And there are all the other benefits of buying fresh, local food as well.

In fact, our low dollar creates a great reason to buy local on a lot of levels.

Maybe we’ll even start to make a few things here again.

So far, manufacturing has not picked up like many hoped it would to help offset some of the pain being felt in the resource industries like oil and gas and mining. We’d really like to see some growth happening there, as relying on natural resource industries — usually the selling of non-renewable resources — is never a long-term plan for a sustainable economy.

So let’s think local and sustainable.

OPINION

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

Fishing for new boat and gear for spring While there has not been what you could really call a lot of snow so far this winter, other than in the last two weeks, I am totally sick and tired of shovelling the driveway.

It’s barely midwinter and I’m already looking forward, no longing, for the coming of spring – to be heading out on the lake and casting my first line of the season.

With the promise of spring and the start of a new fishing season, there is always something to look forward to.

This year, I’m going to have to buy a new (newer used) boat.

I sold my old boat two years ago and haven’t picked up another one – yet. I’m still looking.

I’ll probably also have to buy some new fishing gear as well. I’ve been contemplating trying a bit of surf fishing out on the west coast of Vancouver Island (Since I don’t have a boat).

A new saltwater spinning reel with a large capacity spool would certainly come in handy. Not that I don’t already own at least one of just about every kind of

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray fishing rod and reel there is, from casting rods to fly rods to spey rods, spinning reels to level winds and centre pins to, well, just about everything else in between.

I know I’ve always wanted to own one of those handmade Scaracione salmon reels – you know, the type with the old-style S-handles, all made out of stainless steel and brass. Or maybe this will be the year I finally spring for a Hardy Cascapedia spey reel. One can always dream.

A decent saltwater spinning reel would cost about $400. A Hardy Cascapedia would be more than twice as much.

As for a handmade Scaracione salmon reel, well, if you have to ask you can’t

afford one.

I’m not what you would call a purist when it comes to casting a line, but I will say that I really do prefer fly fishing, whether with a single-handed rod or one of those long, 15 foot, twohanded spey rods.

Fly fishing is a bit more technical, but it’s still a pretty good fit for a guy like me.

I do have to say though, that the whole fly fishing thing is a far cry from the days when I was a kid heading down to the creek with an old metal rod, complete with a Shakespeare bait caster and a can of worms.

Casting a line to fish holding in the shadow of a rock was certainly a lot less technical back then.

Life was less technical.

What I wouldn’t give to be a kid again, to sit on a rock somewhere, casting to unsuspicious little trout and all without a care in the world.

Things have changed though since I was a kid.

And although I don’t own a boat, I do own three motors – two different horsepower gas engines for different sized lakes and an electric

trolling motor, not to mention the two expensive gel batteries needed to run the darned thing. The gas motors get me to where I want to go on the lake in a hurry and the electric motor allows me to troll more quietly and cover more water.

The thing is, back in the days when I didn’t even own a boat motor and had to row, well, I still managed somehow.

In some ways I think having to row gave me a chance to get to know a lake better.

It gave me a chance to look for insect hatches coming off and rising trout.

All I know for sure is this coming fishing season, when (and if) I finally do get out on the lake with a new (newer used) boat, I’m going to make a point of using my oars. Just for old times sake.

As for buying a handmade Scaracione salmon reel or Hardy Cascapedia, like I said, it’s been two years and I haven’t even managed to buy a boat.

Family escapes carbon monoxide

By Stephanie Ip

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Most new parents can’t wait until their baby finally sleeps through the night without stirring — but not Monique and Kyle Ruppel.

“I don’t care if she never sleeps through the night ever again because her waking up is the only thing that saved us,” said her mom.

Because 15-monthold Celia woke in the middle of the night, the Ruppels — along with their four cats and two dogs — escaped carbon monoxide poisoning in their Dufferin home.

They are now urging everyone to ensure their gas detectors are installed and working properly.

“Our house is 26 years old and we didn’t have any carbon-monoxide detectors,” said Kyle, a construction estimator. “I think it was one of those things that never crossed our minds.”

In the early hours of Friday, Jan. 15, Monique, who is originally from Salmon Arm, awoke to the sound of her baby girl crying for the second time that night. Before making it to the bedroom door, she was hit by vertigo and collapsed on to the bed, waking her husband.

“We quickly realized we both felt the same way — we both had vertigo, we both had pounding headaches, our eyes were burning,” Monique said.

When she reached Celia’s crib and picked

her up, the child began to vomit.

“At that same moment, one of my cats had collapsed at my feet and she was flat on the floor,” Monique said. “That was when we got pretty hysterical and realized something pretty serious was going on.”

Her husband called his parents to pick them up, and the couple packed overnight bags and prepared to get into their truck. The grandparents arrived just as Kyle began to black out.

“I remember thinking in that moment, ‘Is this what it feels like to die?’” he recalled.

“Because there was nothing I could do to make my body respond to what my mind was telling me.”

His dad called 911 and the young family was rushed to Royal Inland Hospital in an ambulance.

After a quick assessment, Celia and her parents were flown Vancouver. By noon Friday, they were undergoing oxygen therapy at Vancouver General Hospital.

Monique’s co-workers at a veterinary clinic took over care of the animals and, by Saturday night, all humans and animals had recovered and were back at home.

Throughout the ordeal, Monique said, Celia has been “the best baby.”

“She was so compliant with having blood taken and just smiles, and has put up with so much,” said her mother.

“Thank God for

n Kyle and Monique Ruppel and daughter Celia undergo treatment in a hyperbaric chamber at Vancouver General Hospital.

Celia. She’s our little guardian angel. That’s how we look at it. She absolutely saved our lives and she doesn’t even know it.”

While in Vancouver, the Ruppels learned firefighters couldn’t even get past the home’s front door without their handheld carbon monoxide detectors going off.

The couple is pleading with friends and family not to delay installing or checking carbon-monoxide detectors. The Ruppels have also replaced their furnace, which was the source of the gas leak, and have installed three new detectors in their home.

“Don’t put it off as one of those things you can do later,” Kyle said.

“It’s one of those things you need to do, and you need to do it today — because tomorrow might be too late.”

What are the symptoms?

HealthLink B.C. says early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, dizziness and nausea.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Top 10 flu survival tips (NC) It’s that time of year again when Canadians collectively brace themselves for the inevitable spread of the flu virus. However, all is not bleak as there are steps one can take to help prevent and cope with the onslaught of the illness.

Here are the top 10 tips to stay healthy this flu season: 1. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. If you have the virus, protect others by keeping your distance.2. Wash your hands frequently especially before meals.

Flu viruses are spread by droplets from infected people when they sneeze, blow their nose, or wipe away secretions from their nose or eyes. As a result, try to keep hands away from your mouth and eyes during this time.

3. Eat a healthy diet rich in vitamins C and E to help boost your immune system. Foods rich in vitamin E include sunflower and corn oils, sunflower seeds, and nuts. You can get your daily vitamin C from foods like orange juice, citrus fruits, broccoli and green peppers. Reduce intake of concentrated sugar like sodas and candy as it impairs the immune response.

4. Get a good night’s sleep to keep your body’s immune system at optimum efficiency.

5. Stay hydrated. Increasing water intake will help you stay healthy and lessen the chances of coming down with the flu.

6. Cover up when you sneeze or cough with a tissue or arm to prevent the spread of the virus.

7. Exercise regularly. Not only can regular exercise lower stress, but research indicates that exercise can stimulate the immune system and promote healthy sleep. In a recent study reported in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, scientists found that modest exercise

may prevent the elderly from getting colds and flu.

Feeling the onset of flu-like symptoms?

8. Get lots of rest. Spending excessive energy steals valuable resources from your immune system. Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration caused by fever, loosens mucus, and keeps your throat moist. Warm liquids are preferable, and there is some evidence that inhaling steam early in the course of the flu may reduce the spread of viruses in your upper respiratory tract.

9. For treatment, look for an homeopathic medicine like Oscillococcinum (Oscillo), clinically proven to reduce the duration of flu-

like symptoms, such as fever, chills, body aches and headaches when taken at the onset. The sooner you start treating symptoms, the better chance you have for a quick recovery. Keep in mind, homeopathic medicines may not be right for everyone, always read and follow the label.

10. If your symptoms become significantly worse after the first three days of illness, especially if your fever subsides and then returns, be sure to see your doctor right away. More information and tips on how to relieve flu-like symptoms are available at the “Homeopathic Medicine Finder” App at www.boiron.ca/app. www.newscanada.com

From Mexican stray to therapy dog

By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Mocha’s tale is one of rags to riches.

The approximately three-year-old dog of “indeterminate breed” belongs to Regina Forry. The two became acquainted about two years ago through Audrey Simser, who was looking after Mocha.

Forry said she’d been looking for a dog at the time, but something smaller.

“I said no, I think that one’s too big. But she’s not that big, she ended up being only 40 pounds,” said Forry.

“Then I happened to be at the dog park, ran into her… and when I went to leave, the dog decided she needed to come with me.”

Soon after, Mocha became part of Forry’s family. While Forry was aware that Mocha had been a rescue, she didn’t know where the dog had been rescued from until the two visited Forry’s veterinarian.

“I phoned my vet and said I’ve got this dog and I’d like for you to check her out,” Forry explained. “I went in and said she’d been tested for heartworm at the other veterinarian.

So they had the paperwork faxed over and she said, why didn’t

you tell me the dog was from Mexico?” And I just kind of stood their blankly and said, “I didn’t know.”

Forry says Simser regularly winters in Mexico. When she returns to Canada, she is known to bring with her stray dogs, typically found at landfills.

“She fondly refers to them as purebred Mexican dump dogs, because you have no idea what their history is… and because dogs aren’t treated nicely and she’s an avid dog lover,” said Forry.

Simser is currently in Mexico and couldn’t be reached for comment.

Being a rescue dog, Forry said Mocha was initially extremely fearful, yet also very affectionate. Soon, however, Mocha’s good nature began to show through, and she became something of a peacekeeper at Forry’s home.

One day, Forry said she ran into someone who mentioned St. John Ambulance’s Therapy Dog Program, and thought Mocha might be a good candidate.

“I contacted someone with St. John Ambulance, and they told me about what was necessary,” said Forry.

Mocha has already had some experience

n Certified therapy dog Mocha poses with owner Regina Forry as a therapy dog, visiting with seniors in care facilities offering unconditional affection.

“We went into a room and there was a lady there in a wheelchair and the nurse said, ‘I doubt you’ll get much out of her because she’s been extremely depressed.’

She’d lost her husband not too long ago….,” said Forry. “And right away, Mo decided she wanted to go see this woman in the wheelchair. And she actually bullied her way up on the wheelchair and put her head against the woman’s chest and started nuzzling. Well, pretty soon the woman just grabbed her, broke down and had a good cry and just hugged the dog the whole time.”

“That’s what she does and she seems to love it and the people

love her,” said Forry, who is clearly proud of her Mocha and the unique journey she’s had so far.

“I’ve never had a dog quite like her before.”

Loppet marks 32 years of successful skiing

Marcia Beckner What a great snow year this ski season in the Larch Hills!

Last Thursday with the Geezers we skied up Treebeards and down Greenway, a backcountry adventure in powder snow conditions and brilliant sunshine.

Anyone who has skied these trails knows how special it is to be skiing skinny, non-trackset trails surrounded by huge snowladen trees. Around every corner you find “Smurfs” - akin to the blue comic figure but in this case snowy white a flexible youngish tree bending over with the weight of accumulated snow. A rather comic sight.

In talking to skiers from other Nordic ski areas I realize that we are blessed to have this backcountry option in the Larch Hills. If you are interested in joining a group in a backcountry adventure, get

TRISTAN Tristan competes in both basketball and bocce ball. He is known by others as a really nice boy with some very cool moves! He’s fun to have on the team — always ready and enthusiastic about all of the planned events. He’s totally involved in what is happening. Tristan was born and raised in Salmon Arm. He goes to Shuswap Middle School. His hobbies revolve around physical activity. He enjoys playing sports at home and loves baseball and hockey!

as possible after the final skier came in down to Ian Wickett to print out the hard copies for the skiers at the awards ceremony at 5 p.m.

It was a bonus to get them there by the wine and cheese at 4 p.m.

But we would keep them back until after the awards ceremony so the ceremony wouldn’t be unduly interrupted by folks discussing the printed results among themselves.

Both the Wednesday Wenches and Thursday Geezers tend to do backcountry on their weekly outings. Due to the depth of snow in the backcountry, fat basket poles are recommended/necessary.

They are easy to find at garage sales.

When I awoke on Saturday morning of the Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet I mused: “32 years! How did that happen?!”

Thinking back on the first decade of the event, mid ’80s to mid ’90s, I chuckle to think of the innovative ways the timing crew managed to get the final results out in this preelectronic and pre-Internet era.

The finish in these years was at the chalet in its old location.

Unwieldy as it was to have runners heading over with the times for each finisher, a clothesline was fashioned on which the hand timers clipped the time sheets then pulled them up to the small window upstairs in the chalet where the results team would record the time and type out the age category results.

The challenge was to get the results as soon

the results on Zone 4 on their cell phones!

And with Internet and electronic timekeeping at the loppet now we can have the results down to Ian and on Zone 4 immediately. What changes three decades brings.

The Reino KeskiSalmi Loppet attracts skiers of all ages, from 2 to 81. Being a family event there are many families from which all members skied in the event. And there was at least one threegeneration family participating. Certainly a

lifetime sport.

BC Midget Championships run this weekend at Larch Hills.

About 400 skiers 9 to 12 years of age from around the province converge for a week-

end of ski racing.

Then there is the elementary school Pirate Loppet on Friday, Jan. 29. Many Larch Hills volunteers have been helping for the past two weeks with the

various schools’ ski programs. Great fun to introduce these kids to Nordic skiing, and then see them compete in the Pirate Loppet.

Enjoy this amazing winter. Think snow!

RCMP REPORT Chase RCMP are seeking to identify two men believed to have been involved in a break in at the Scotch Creek Peoples Drug Mart.

A report of the break in was received by police on Friday, Jan 15. Chase RCMP say at 4:20 a.m., a Dodge pickup truck stolen from Kamloops was used to ram a wall and gain entry to the pharmacy.

Two unidentified men wearing gloves and dark clothing then attempted to remove the ATM machine, but were unsuccessful.

After leaving the pharmacy, the men were subsequently involved in a single-vehicle rollover/collision on Squilax-Anglemont Highway just west of Scotch Creek.

Chase RCMP continue to investigate the matter and have asked that anyone with any knowledge of this crime, or who may have seen the male suspects in the area on on Highway 1, contact the detachment at 250-679-3221, or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Coach seeks the right combination

By Scott Koch

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The past week of hockey saw the Chase Heat play two inter-division games, win one on the road and then lose at home.

It’s a story that is repeating itself, and we will get to the recaps.

But first, some observations that result in a somewhat twisted take on the day-to-day life of head coach Brad “Foxy” Fox. First off, for those not aware, last June the head guy, after six years, finally took a couple of weeks off and went to the Maritimes to meet his main squeeze’s family. He takes his responsibilities seriously and tends to work six to seven days a week year round. Up early, and back and forth to the rink all day long, doing what it takes in a small market to put a competitive team on the ice. He walks a lot and knows to the minute how far it is between here and there throughout the village he calls home.

Fox’s phone and computer are either his best friends or worst enemies depending on who and what pops up. It rattles and hums 24/7. The assistant coach in Elbow Itch, Man. has the perfect kid for the bottom six that they are releasing.

Send him C.O.D. and we will give him a go.

The manager from

RICK KOCH/MARKET NEWS

n Chase Heat goalie Nick Bruyere puts an abrupt end to an attempt on net by the 100 Mile House Wranglers on Saturday, Jan. 16.

Salt Lick, Sask. wants the best of our best and he needs him yesterday.

Dad X and Mom Y call separately ranting about their prodigy not getting any ice time and then being cut.

The coach from Oops-Oops, halfway through a trade, stops answering his phone and the computer flash a message that the kid was sent to the Bafflegab Island, landlub-

bers!

The machine he toils on has at any one time, 23 operational and sometimes moving parts (young hockey players). Those parts are 16 to 20 years old and come with attachments (parents, girlfriends, outside activities, education needs) – and none of them with operating manuals. They have all been put together at different factories, some parts

are newer then others but all of them come used to one degree or another.

They are somewhat interchangeable and so Foxy tinkers to find the right combination that solves the task at hand (think Rubik’s Cube).

Testing (practice) is next, adjustments are made (yoga, physio, dryland), and then the product is presented to the public (game).

Dedication to his

craft is what “Foxy” does so that fans, family and the community can enjoy some quality entertainment.

Ice time: So Friday the 15th the HEAT were in Sicamous.

Daniel Toews in net stopped 24 of 27 shots to lead his team to a 5-3 victory. His supporting cast saw Michael Howlett and Kolten Moore both score a pair, with youngster Josh Bourne getting the 5th.

On Saturday the 16th at the Art Holding Memorial Arena, the Heat dropped a 2-1 contest to the 100 Mile House Wranglers.

Zach Fournier got the lone tally and Nic Bruyere stopped 23 of 25 fired his way.

Chase remains third in the division and is guaranteed a spot in the playoffs.

Next up is a road warrior weekend versus the highly skilled Osoyoos Coyotes and the Summerland Steam.

I N P CHATTER at Village Lanes Fun Centre

by Calyn Buresh

Hi Guys!! Well, I’m currently writing this column, and it’s Tuesday afternoon, and guess what! Still no baby! Maybe by the time you’re all sitting down having a read, it will be a different story! Hope you all had a fantastic week! It has been another fun filled week on the lanes, as per usual! This past Sunday we hosted the Hawaiian Pick-A-Partner Zone Finals! Let me explain just a little bit about this tournament so that we are all on the same page! Essentially, the idea is to pick a partner that you would like to bowl with, and it costs each person only $5.00 to enter. Of all of the entries that we had, we got to send 1 in every five entries to the zone finals. We were lucky enough to have 57 teams from Chase alone enter into this event, so 114 people! On Sunday, the zone finals were held, and the top 11 of the 57 teams entered got to participate! At the zone finals, partners, Terry Vandevosse and Red Manson as well as partners Terry Berreth and Ray Jackson placed 1st and 2nd, and will now advance on to the Provincial Finals that will be held February 20th in Port Coquitlam!

If either of these teams are to place first at the Provincial Finals, they will have their choice between a trip for 4 people to Hawaii or $1500.00 cash each! GO CHASE GO! If any of you win the trip to Hawaii and don’t have anyone to go with, this new mama will be ready for vacation I’m sure, just throwing that out there! Until next time readers, have a wonderful week, and I hope that next week I’ll be able to tell you all about our new bundle of joy! Cheers!

Expedition researchers took early Secwepemc photographs

SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman The number of photos taken of the Secwepemc people increased at the end of the 19th century due to the efforts of the American Museum of Natural History.

Morris Jesup was president of the museum and he financed an extensive expedition to study the cultural, racial and linguistic attributes of indigenous peoples living in the North Pacific region. His goal was to gather evidence to support the Bering Strait migration theory, which postulated that the North American continent was populated by the migration of Asian peoples across the strait.

The expedition began in 1897 and spread out across British Columbia, Alaska and Siberia.

Because many northern indigenous peoples were being decimated by diseases, members of the expedition also believed they were making final records of vanishing cultures. In addition to observing local social practices, they made wax-cylinder recordings, collected artefacts, amassed data on physical looks and took many photographs.

In 1894, during one of his ethnographic field trips, anthropologist Franz Boas, stopped off in Spences Bridge where he met James Teit. Boas instantly recognized his potential as an ethnographer who was not only fluent in the local Nlaka’pamux (Thompson) language, but also had close ties to the local indigenous people. Teit worked for the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, serving as Boas’ guide and writing three essential ethnographies on the Nlaka’pamux, the Lillooet and the Shuswap.

One of the first pho-

tos from the Jesup expedition was of Teit and his first wife, Lucy Artko, taken in 1897 at Spences Bridge. The photographer was Harlan Smith, who was the leading archaeologist for the expedition.

There were four images taken in 1898 and 1899, one of a woman dressed traditionally with baskets and a digging stick, and another of a woman scraping a hide. There is also a photo of an old pit-house in the Nicola Valley and a summer dwelling that looks like a teepee constructed with walls of bark or wood.

There are a few amazing photos of Nlaka’pamux in traditional clothing, all taken at Spences Bridge.

One is of a warrior with long braided hair holding a pipe and wearing a feathered headdress, a bear-claw necklace, a fur-covered hide vest and rawhide pants. The others are of Nlaka’pamux people posing next to a teepee

made of woven mats in traditional clothing suitable for a celebration.

Teit took the warrior shot likely in 1897 and Valient Vincent took the others in 1910. After his work with Teit, he owned the King Photo Studio in Vancouver.

There were many similarities between the two Indigenous nations, thus these photos provide a helpful perspective on the Secwepemc.

In the late 1800s, indigenous people primarily wore western clothes, so it is significant that they were able to either hold onto their traditional clothes or make replicas.

Although the Jesup Expedition did not produce data that proved the Bering Strait theory, it provided a wealth of information on the variations and connections between the indigenous populations on both sides of the Pacific that scholars still use today.

It was also able to show that culture, language and race varied inde-

by Museum. One shows a large weir fish trap on the Shuswap River and one man with a sling of fish and another in a dugout canoe. Another shows a fish camp on

Our request for assistance from the provincial ministry resulted a letter from the Royal BC Museum reiterating its policy to charge for photos for books that will be sold to the public. They do not recognize the nonprofit nature of the Everything Shuswap book project in which the

proceeds from book sales will go to support outdoor learning for the school district.

If only our Canadian heritage institutions could follow the lead of the New York Public Library, which recently released 180,000 high resolution historical photos and documents on their website and invited users to remix them.

As a postscript to the last column, there are three more excellent images taken in 1891, all provided without charge from the Ender-

the river with racks of drying salmon. And another shows 14 men, some posing with rifles and four women, waiting for the game warden.

Support for those resolutions The new year is a time for reflection and a time to renew commitments to health.

Many people find themselves feeling overwhelmed and exhausted after the holidays and feel a nagging sense that they should be embarking on a big new fitness plan or healthy eating plan. If better health is at the top of your list, go back to your inner drawing board.

What do you need to change in your life so you can be your best self?

What is standing in your way?

Consider your physical well-being and your emotional well-being.

It is very difficult to address the physical self when the emotional self is stressed.

Spend some quiet time thinking about what it is you really want to achieve in the upcoming year.

Take the month of January to reflect specifically on your own needs, not on anyone else. If you have already made an ambitious and hasty resolution, give yourself permission to sit with it for the month.

In our busy lives

• For the months of February and March, commit to packing your lunch each night before school or work, rather than in the morning when you are rushed.

• Make fish a standing item on your grocery list. Even canned tuna and salmon contain healthy omega three fats.

• Have media-free meals for a month.

there are thousands of barriers getting in the way of making changes – a lack of money and time, long work hours, kids to care for and dogs to walk. Spend some time thinking about what is really important to you and what you can let go of.

What do you need to do to let go of those things?

What do you need to do to take care of yourself, to feel relaxed and to be in a place where change is possible?

When you are ready, set realistic goals for the year that are SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.

SANDAKER, OLAF JULIUS “SKIP” Jan. 16, 1948 - Nov. 27, 2015 Olaf Julius “Skip” Sandaker was born January 16, 1948 in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, the oldest sons of Otto and Karine Sandaker. When Skip was 6 the family moved from Dahlton, Sask. to Salmon Arm, BC where the family grew to include 10 siblings. Their home was a busy place with many activities for extended family and friends.

Music was a big part of many gatherings and Skip loved to play instruments - especially the guitar.

From an early age Skip showed an aptitude for “fixing things” and always had a toolbox at hand.

This was a great asset as he had a variety of jobs - farm laborer, working in a local bakery, millwright, time spent at Terrace BC and Rainbow Lake BC working with heavy duty equipment.

In 1966 Skip moved to Kitimat BC to work for Alcan. In 1971 he married his best friend’s sister Eileen Embree Then in 1977 they moved to Wabamun, Alberta where Skip was employed by Trans. Alta. He was promoted to the office and then acted as foreman and supervisor. Ill health forced him to retire in 2014.

As a teenager in Salmon Arm, Skip was involved with Fish and Game club and Cadets and won many awards for rifle competitions. He was a long time member of the Wabamun & District Lions Club and was very much involved in his community. In 2012 he was awarded the Lions International highest honor, the Melvin Jones Fellowship for Dedicated Humanitarian Service. Skip also enjoyed spending time helping out the Embree family farm.

Skip was a very loving and dedicated father and grandfather. He will be sorely missed by his three daughters, six grandchildren and one greatgrandchild.

He was pre-deceased by his parents - Otto and Karine Sandaker, sister - Lila Saunders and grandson - David Sandaker.

Skip is survived by his wife - Eileen, daughters - Laurie-Ann (John Durand) Stahn, Erin (Nathan) Williamson and Colleen (Jason Willacy) Sandaker, grandchildren - Amber, Erik, Brandon, Cierra and Cole, great grandson - Aiden, brothers - Cecil (Joanne) and Melvin (Sandra), Sisters - Oline Williamson, Elida Raven, Clara (Wray) Brook, Helen Hoffman, Margaret (Mike) Minchau, Louise (Bob) Todd.

A service was held on December 5th, 2015 in Wabamun, Alberta.

MADDEN, DENIS 1949 – 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Denis Richard Madden Sr., born January 16, 1949, announces his passing on Tuesday, December 29, 2015.

Denis was born in Ontario and later moved to Calgary, Alberta; where he met and married his wife of ten years, Terry Madden (mother of Denis and Lindsay). Denis’s life was dedicated to music. Our father was happiest on stage, entertaining. He had a deep love of music and performing, and was an extremely accomplished life-long musician.

Denis loved watching his grandchildren do anything that made them happy and particularly encouraged the musical spark that is within them.

Papa’s face would light up any time that they were around him. Denis’s family will remember him for the respect that he had for his children, for his love and fondness for his in-laws, and for all of the young ones. We will also remember his talent, his creativity, his light-hearted nature, his corny jokes, and above all his literal need not only to socialize, with everyone and any one, but to bring joy, laughter, and to entertain them.

Our father chose the path that felt right to him.

He followed his passion while in this world and he shared it with anyone that wanted to be part of it. He never judged people poorly, nor allowed the judgments of others to define him. Papa was strong of character, and very, very comfortable being himself. He would teach anyone a song or how to play an instrument, and encouraged people to do what felt right to them as well. He was a wise man, and was never concerned with conformity to anything that he did not believe in with his heart.

We will miss his wild story, and his wild stories.

He was an artist, in every sense. Born one, lived it, and died one. He played for us the day he died.

His song will be missed forever, but sung forever by his loved ones.

Denis will be lovingly remembered by his son and daughter-in-law, Denis and Shannon Madden, his daughter and son-in-law, Lindsay and Jay Quintal, and by his daughter, Jennifer VanderSchaaf; as well as by his grandchildren, Megan, Nick and Alex VanderSchaaf, Baily, Jovee, Dawson, Mila, Lexi, and Jack Quintal; and by his great grandchildren, Aubrey and Liam Colborne (Megan’s children).

A Celebration of Denis’s Life will be held at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 – 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer, Alberta, on Sunday, January 17, 2016 at 11:00 a.m.

Cremation has taken place. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com.
