JAMES MURRAY/MARKET NEWS

Victim’s family shocked by arrestsBarb Myers, mother of

murder victim Tyler Myers,

wasn’t optimistic the police

would have any more news

of her son’s killing nearly

four years after his death.

But a voicemail message

on Nov. 5 changed all that.

An RCMP offi cer called

to let her know they had

arrested a 20-year-old man

and 21-year-old woman and

were charging them with

fi rst-degree murder.

Tyler was shot dead

and his body found on the

grounds of Bastion Elemen-

tary on Nov. 22, 2008.

While Barb was informed

of the identities of the ac-

cused perpetrators, the pair

were 16 and 17 years old at

the time of the offence and,

as such, their names and

any information that could

identify them cannot be

published under the provi-

sions of the Youth Criminal

Justice Act.

“It was a two-edged

sword. I was so elated they

had cracked the case, but

fi nding out who they arrest-

ed, it was such a let-down. I

am really shocked and dis-

appointed,” Barb said in an

interview from her home in

Campbell River.

Police confi rm both ac-

cused knew Tyler prior to

the murders.

“We don’t believe this

was a random murder. By

virtue of the fi rst-degree

murder charge, we believe it

was a planned and deliber-

ate murder of Tyler Myers,”

said RCMP major crimes

Insp. Gary Shinkaruk at a

press conference following

the arrests.

comment on the rela-

tionship between Tyler

and the two accused

or a possible motive

for the killing, saying

those details will come

out in court.

Tyler’s sister Chris-

tina says she still has

trouble believing who

has been arrested.

“I can’t even begin

to explain how angry

and hurt I feel knowing

what I do now. It’s tak-

ing a long time to sink

in.”

Christina, who lives

in Enderby, describes

her relationship with

her brother as very

close. With a 14-year

age difference between

them, Christina says

his death was “like the

loss of a child and a

best friend.”

She describes how

she would go on long

drives with her brother,

the music cranked up

and enjoying the world

passing by.

“We’d go nowhere,

but everywhere, and we

loved those times to-

gether. That was some-

thing we used to do

with our dad and then

we’d still do it. I miss

that so much,” she says

tearfully. “Now I have

to drive on my own.”

Christina says she

remains emotionally

devastated by the loss

of her brother.

“If I’m out and en-

joying myself, I sud-

denly stop and feel bad

because he’s not there.

It’s like I’m betraying

our bond to have fun

without him. I miss

him every second of

every day. I may have

a smile on my face, but

I’m dying inside.”

Both women are

anxious to hear more of

the facts surrounding

Tyler’s death.

“It’s a relief to get

to this point, but now

there’s more waiting

– waiting to hear what

information the police

have and how the in-

vestigation went. I’m

wearing a path in my

carpet, walking back

and forth wondering,”

says Christina.

Christina says she is

grateful to police for

their work in bringing

the case to this point.

“Some people just

disappear and families

never get answers, nev-

er get anything. At least

I know now that some

of my questions will be

answered.”

Barb also feels some

closure now that arrests

have been made, but is

hoping to get a clearer

picture of what hap-

pened to her son from

the trial.

“I think that will help

me have true closure. I

guess what keeps go-

ing through my mind

is why, why? Why did

they have to resort to

murder?” she asks. “I

don’t like to judge until

I have all the facts. It’s

in my mind that there’s

two other young lives

involved and my heart

also goes out to the

mothers of those chil-

dren and how this im-

pacts them. It’s just so

sad for so many.”

Due to the timing

between the arrests and

the fi rst court appear-

ance, Barb was unable

to travel from Vancou-

ver Island to Salmon

Arm to attend the fi rst

court appearance, but

she intends to follow

the judicial proceed-

ings very closely.

“I want to be there for

Tyler... I do have many

fond memories of Tyler

and I’m so glad I’ve got

those.”

Details remain under wraps Continued from front

Shuswap Market News Friday, November 16, 2012 www.saobserver.net A3

A veteran of local politics has set his sights on provincial office.

Will Hansma, the former mayor of Spal-lumcheen, announced Tuesday, that he will pursue the Liberal nomination for the Shus-wap constituency.

“I look forward to bringing my experience to the table as an option for membership to choose from in the upcoming selection meet-ing for a candidate of the Shuswap riding in the beginning of January,” said Hansma, who owns the Okanagan Advertiser newspaper.Hansma was first elected as a Spallumcheen councillor in 1996.

He then went on to serve more than four terms as mayor after winning a byelection in 1998. He decided not to seek re-election in the 2011 municipal vote.

During his tenure as mayor, Hansma helped secure infrastructure funds from the province which led to im-provements to Highway 97A from Swan Lake to Arm-strong, and the new recreation facilities in Armstrong.

“The Township of Spallumcheen is one of the largest municipalities in the province and has no debt, I’m very proud of that,” said Hansma.

Married with four children and eight grand-children, Hansma also operates a small farm and has been involved in agriculture all his life. Hansma was also a director with the Re-gional District of North Okanagan.

“I believe that standing up for the farming community is vitally important,” said Hans-ma, who has also been a strong advocate for bringing business to the North Okanagan-Shuswap.

The Liberals initiated a nomination process after MLA George Abbott decided not to seek re-election in May’s provincial election. Oth-ers seeking the Liberal nomination are Si-camous Coun. Greg Kyllo, former Salmon Arm mayor Marty Bootsma and Jordan Ross of Salmon Arm.

SHUSWAP

The District of Sicamous might benefit from a slight ad-dition to its official slogan: The Houseboat Capital of Canada and Home of Shirley Holcomb.

This year’s Sicamous Cham-ber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards saw the introduction of a new award, created specifically with Hol-comb in mind: Visitor Ambas-sador 2012. Holcomb says she was invited to the event by her friend Terri Sinton, who she volunteers with at the arena. While she expected a fine meal and good company, Hol-comb says the award was a complete surprise.

“It blew my socks off,” says Holcomb. “I’ve done a lot of things in my life to kind of volunteer and help out, but I’ve never ever received any-thing. I shouldn’t say that be-cause the hockey rink, for vol-unteering last winter, gave me a hockey jacket… But other than that, I’ve never received anything, so it was a total shock.”

The award, however, wasn’t for Holcomb’s volunteer work at the arena, or with the Meals To Wheels program, or at the seniors centre, or anywhere else you can find her lending a hand. It was for an initiative that she began this spring to promote the community, which has since earned the sprightly 75-year-old the nick-name “Huggy Shirley.” Essen-tially, when Holcomb saw a new face in the community she would stop them, hand them her card (with her name, a happy face and the request that visitors enjoy themselves in the community), welcome them and give them a hug. Although some were slightly taken aback by this approach, Holcomb says she never re-ceived a negative reply.

“For a split second they’re kind of in shock, and then they

hug you back,” says Holcomb. “So it’s amazing. I’ve met some wonderful people.”

During the awards presenta-tion for Holcomb, it was men-tioned the chamber had re-ceived feedback from all over by visitors upon whom “Hug-gy Shirley” had left a positive impression. And it is exactly that result Holcomb is after in her mission to assure all who visit Sicamous know they’re welcome.

“It’s been amazing, the re-sponse from the Albertans, because they said nobody had ever welcomed them before or even bothered them that much, and they were thrilled,” ex-plains Holcomb. “It was mak-ing them feel they are impor-tant and not just a wallet com-ing into town.”

In fact, it is, in part, a par-ticular attitude towards Si-camous’ Albertan guests that prompted Holcomb to take on her ambassadorial duties.

“This couple that said to me – when I was so excited when I had the cards first made – don’t give any of them out to those damned Albertans,” says Holcomb. “Well, I said you better hope those damned Al-

bertans come. When they’re not coming, we’re losing busi-nesses. And when we lose a business, that tax has got to be going somewhere else, which goes on your home taxes. And you know what she said to me? ‘I’d rather pay the taxes.’ So there’s what I’m fighting.”

Holcomb believes her fight was only made more neces-sary by this summer’s flood-ing events which, with the ac-companying television news broadcasts, wound up keeping potential visitors away.

“I think it’s fabulous,” says Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton about the work Hol-comb has been doing to pro-mote the community. “Shirley is always a bubbling personal-ity and she says it how it is, and it’s nice to have her in our community. The more people we have out there being warm and welcoming, it’s better for Sicamous. That’s what we’re based on, that Sicamous is a great place to come to and people feel welcomed.”

Holcomb admits to being a busybody. She says this stems, in part, from being raised on a farm in Alberta. She says her husband was killed when her

two kids were babies, and that she had to work two jobs to make ends meet. Later in life, she found employment with a plastics company, and then a neon lighting company which allowed her to be creative with her hands – something she enjoys. For a while she looked after an acreage for her daugh-ter, who later sold the property and had Holcomb move to Sicamous to look after a trailer park. As work became too much, and a back fusion was required, Holcomb says she applied to move into the Ha-ven, was accepted, and started volunteering right away.

“I can’t stand not being busy. I can’t handle that,” she says.

Though she is thrilled to have received the Visitor Am-bassador award, Holcomb says she doesn’t feel she de-served it.

“I’m just doing something I thought needed to be done – like, I’m not an owner of a business that they acknowl-edged or anything like that,” says Holcomb. “I feel like mine was pretty small. But I definitely was blown away…”

‘Huggy Shirley’ promotes her town

# Shirley Holcomb comes in for one of her well-known hugs. She was recently honoured by the Sicamous chamber for the warm hospitality she has shown to visitors to the community.

I bumped into Chase res-

ident and author Ron Fox

the other day.

Fox told me he will be

having a book signing for

his newest book, Coyote Gals and Hunting Pals,

this Saturday, Nov. 17 at

Bookingham Palace book-

store in Salmon Arm. I told

him I would look forward

to it. He gave me a copy to

read. I’m glad he did.

Coyote Gals and Hunt-ing Pals, from Foxcroft

Publishers, is part reminis-

cence and part memoir. It

is the story of a group of

adolescent friends growing

up in the northern town of

Telkwa, BC where being a

kid offered endless adven-

tures and some hard les-

sons. It is also a delight to

read.

“The mournful cry of a

coyote resounded off the

mountain wall and came

echoing up the valley, eas-

ily heard by the two men

sitting on the front steps of

the cabin… one sawing

away on his violin, and

Buster, sucking absent-

mindedly on his long, cold

pipe.

“He cocked his head and

muttered to his companion,

‘Listen you’ve picked up

an audience.’

“Buster sat there with a

smile on his face thinking

far back in his past, back to

his early days when he had

his own coyote girls.”

In chapter after chapter,

the reader is swept along

on adventure after misad-

venture, with Buster (who

in fact is Fox), Nick, Rocky,

along with two sisters and

a girlfriend from town who

would ultimately become

known as the Coyote

Girls.

There are plenty of sto-

ries to make the reader

smile, if not laugh out loud,

as well as some more poi-

gnant stories about inno-

cence lost and life’s les-

sons learned the hard way.

Find out how the Coyote

Girls got their name. Join

the gang – the one with no

girls allowed – as they get

even with a passing train,

and tag along with Buster

and Nick as they strike it

rich – with fool’s gold.

Learn about the importance

of paying your debts and

about the value of friend-

ships

Coyote Gals and Hunt-

ing Pals tells of life during

a simpler time – an idyllic,

and yet in other ways, a

much harder time.

Fox writes in a straight-

forward style. Most read-

ers will easily identify

with both the adventures

and misadventures in this

book. I know I did. There

is also a harsh reality to

this book that one cannot

escape. It is the poignancy,

as well as the humour, that

makes the people in the

book so real to the reader.

After reading the book, I

phoned Fox and asked him

what ever became of the

Coyote Girls.

He started out about tell-

ing me how he had lost

contact with both the peo-

ple he knew growing up

(in Telkwa), his childhood

friends and the sisters, the

Coyote Girls.

“We drifted apart. I went

away and was gone long

enough to loose contact

with everyone,” he said.

“In time no one was left.

There’s nothing really left

of the old town now.”

He paused for a bit and

then said, “That was until I

met two of the Coyote girls

at a homecoming back in

2010. Brenda (whose real

name is Maggie), and her

sister Maxina (Barbara).

We started talking and

reminiscing and laughing,

and before I knew it I was

writing a new book.”

Fox and the Coyote Girls

still communicate. He told

me that he got a good

laugh one day after the

book came out when Mag-

gie told him that one of her

granddaughters had said

“Hey, Granny’s in a

book.”

The best thing about

books like Coyote Gals and Hunting Pals is that

people live on in stories,

just as they live on in our

memories.

Necessary upgrades to Enderby’s outdoor pool have been completed and approved, and that’s great news for the 2013 swimming season.

However, the future of the children’s spray park in Barnes Park is still undetermined.

The popular feature was shut down earlier this year after Interior Health Authority expressed concern that children could slip on the wet surface or fall off the water features. It was certainly an overreaction on the part of IHA as you can only minimize the risk of injury so much.

But IHA’s edict stands and that means the spray park will remain closed unless something is done.

With winter setting in and summer months away, now is the time for the City of Enderby and the Regional District of North Okanagan to not only consider their next steps, but to take action.

Consultation with the public, and particularly the parents of young children, should be initiated immediately to determine what kind of spray facility they want and the best location in Barnes Park. Perhaps there could also be discussion with older youth to see if some features could be added that they would use.

Now is also an ideal time to pursue the matter as municipalities are working on their 2013 budgets, as are senior levels of government and community groups that provide grants.

Based on the recent process in Lumby for a spray park, it’s extremely unlikely that a new Enderby facility could be ready in time for next summer.

However, if the ball doesn’t start rolling soon, how many summers will pass by?

And that would be a shame for the children and negatively impact a community trying to attract young families to live there.

-Vernon Morning Star

Enderby youth deserve action

Your government in

Ottawa is committed to

keeping taxes low, re-

turning to balanced

budgets and respecting

taxpayers’ dollars.

Proof of this com-

mitment is Bill C-46,

introduced in Parlia-

ment last week. C-46

will amend MP, senator

and public servant

pensions(C-45). The

changes will save tax-

payers $2.6 billion over

the next five years. We

also eliminated sever-

ance payments that will

save $500 million per

year once fully imple-

mented.

One of the key policy

changes in Bill C-46

that will save taxpayer

dollars is the age at

which MPs, senators

and newly hired public

servants will begin col-

lecting their pensions.

Once passed this will

increase to 65 years of

age. By 2016, all MPs,

senators and public ser-

vants will pay a 50 per

cent contribution to

their pension. Current-

ly, public servants pay

only 34 per cent into

their pension premium

and taxpayers pay 66

per cent. MP and sena-

tor pension contribu-

tion ratios are even

more generous. The

new calculation will

see an increase in MP

contributions from

$11,000 per year to

around $38,000 per

year.

Our Prime Minister

has generously given

up an even larger por-

tion of his pension.

Prime Ministers are

paid the base rate re-

ceived by all MPs,

namely $157,000, plus

another $157,000 for

the prime ministerial

position. The pension

for prime ministers is

calculated the same as

MP pensions on the

base amount. Howev-

er, with the additional

$157,000, the pension

benefit is 60 per cent or

$104,000 per year, plus

the pension on the base

amount. This is chang-

ing so that the addi-

tional $157,000 will be

reduced to around

$47,000 or close to

$60,000 less per year.

The Prime Minister is

going to make this

change retroactively, so

the savings will be

$420,000 to taxpayers.

I have had many

complaints concerning

pensions in the past;

however it is our gov-

ernment that is actually

making changes. Cabi-

net expenses are down

16 per cent over the last

year and use of the

government aircraft is

down 30 per cent since

the previous govern-

ment was in office. My

MP budget has a 30 per

cent savings over the

annual allocation.

Our Harper govern-

ment has moved Parlia-

ment from a place of

“we are entitled to our

entitlements” to one of

“we are responsible to

the taxpayers,” I am

proud of this accom-

plishment.

Job seekers are in

luck when it comes to

the commercial road

transportation industry

in British Columbia.

Trucking companies

throughout B.C. require

professional drivers,

mechanics, dispatch-

ers and operations staff

right now, which means

that job seekers with ex-

perience and/or training

may fi nd work within

their preferred region.

For those considering

training prior to joining

the workforce, demand

for skilled workers in

the industry is likely

to grow – to 2020 and

beyond.

There are a number

of reasons for this. For

truck drivers, the in-

dustry is facing a North

America-wide shortage

because most are 45

years of age or older

and nearing retirement

(in fact, in Canada,

according to a report

by the Canada Truck-

ing Human Resources

Council, 58 per cent of

long-haul truck drivers

fall into this age range).

Similar shortages exist

for other jobs, includ-

ing diesel engine and

heavy duty mechanics.

Aside from worker

shortages, economic

growth in the Asia-

Pacifi c Gateway is also

driving demand for

workers in transporta-

tion. This applies not

only to companies in

the Lower Mainland,

but in other regions as

well, since the Asia-

Pacifi c “Gateway” is

actually made up of an

integrated supply chain

of airports, seaports, rail

and road connections,

and border crossings,

from Prince Rupert to

Surrey, with links sup-

plied by trucking.

Today’s trucking in-

dustry is an exciting

place to be. Equipment

in many companies is

state of the art, meaning

increased comfort and

ease for drivers and op-

portunities for mechan-

ics to work with tech-

nologically advanced

systems, keeping both

their skills and inter-

est engaged. Dispatch

relies on sophisticated

tracking and routing

systems. Others on the

operations side also use

information technology

of many kinds to deal

with everything from

licences and permits,

to customer services,

accounting, sales and

marketing.

And, people join-

ing the industry have

many career choices.

Drivers, for example,

may work close to

home as pick-up and

delivery or short-haul

drivers. Those who like

the idea of travelling

across Canada or North

America can become

long-haul drivers for

an employer or work

as owner-operators.

Drivers may haul con-

sumer goods, fuel,

logs, heavy-duty equip-

ment, livestock – most

of what we purchase or

consume spent some

time on the road with a

commercial truck.

If you already have

experience as a driver,

mechanic or operations

worker, most compa-

nies advertise jobs on

their websites. Mem-

bers of the BC Truck-

ing Association from

across the province may

post jobs under Careers

onwww.bctrucking.

cial and federal gov-

ernments maintain job

Occupation, then by

Region). Within your

own community, it may

also pay to approach a

company you’d like to

work for, drop off a re-

sumé and inquire if and

when they’ll be hiring.

Although there is

not a standard training

course for professional

drivers, there are nu-

merous private schools

throughout B.C. that

offer programs. For in-

formation on transpor-

tation trades in B.C.,

Columbia ShuswapRegional District

TAKE NOTICE that in accordance with the Local Government Act the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (“Regional District”) will hold a PUBLIC HEARING regarding proposed Salmon Valley Land Use Amendment (CSRD) Bylaw No. 2547.

The Board of Directors of the Regional District has delegated the public hearing to Director Rene Talbot as Director of Electoral Area ‘D’, being that in which the land concerned is located, or Alternate Director Joy De Vos if Director Rene Talbot is absent. At the public hearing those persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaws will have a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaws. The Board of the Regional District will not consider any verbal or written representations or submissions after the public hearing. Please be advised that written submissions received will be available to the public and the applicant. Written submissions will be received in the Regional District Offi ces until 4 p.m. on Tuesday, November 27th, 2012 or may be submitted until the close of the public hearing.

LOCATION AND DATE OF HEARING: The public hearing will be held on Wednesday, November 28th, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. and will be held at the Silver Creek Community Hall, 3048 Hornsberger Rd., Silver Creek, BC.

PURPOSE OF BYLAW NO. 2547:

Development Services Staff is proposing text amendments to the Salmon Valley Land Use Bylaw No. 2500 that will defi ne and regulate composting. New defi nitions for organic matter and organic matter composting facility will provide clarifi cation and help staff provide advice to property owners and residents of Salmon Valley in regard to large-scale composting.

Bylaw No. 2547 proposes the following defi nitions:

“Organic Matter means materials that are suitable for composting, including: animal bedding; brewery/winery waste; fi sh waste; food waste; hatchery waste; manure, milk processing waste; plant matter; poultry carcasses; red meat waste; untreated and unprocessed wood residuals; whey; and yard waste, unless excluded by Provincial or Federal enactments or orders that prohibit or restrict composting or composting methods.”

“Organic Matter Composting Facility means a facility that imports organic matter and produces more than 20 m³ of compost product per year to be sold and/or utilized off-site or off-farm.”

Bylaw No. 2547 proposes adding Section 2.2.18 to regulate Organic Matter Composting Facilities as follows:

.1 All organic matter composting facilities must be designed and constructed such that the facility:

• is on asphalt or concrete, or other similar impermeable surface, which prevents release of leachate into the environment;

• is graded to prevent pooling of water where organic matter or compost is received, processed or stored;

• is designed to prevent run-off water from entering the areas where organic matter or compost is received, processed or stored;

• includes covered storage for organic matter, to prevent exposure to precipitation;

• includes an enclosed building with mechanical aeration, designed to ensure that the compost is maintained in an aerobic condition, and with a negative pressure differential between the inside and outside of the building in which the composting process occurs; and a fi lter system designed by a professional whose area of specialty includes the design of these systems; and

• is designed to keep the impact on the environment, and exposure and disturbance to humans, including dust, pollution, noise and odour, to a minimum.

.2 Blending, grinding and making or mixing of raw materials must take place on an impermeable surface.

.3 Any property used for a composting facility shall have a minimum parcel area of 30 ha.

.4 The area used for primary composting and curing shall not exceed 500 m² per parcel.

.5 Buildings and structures for a composting facility use shall be sited not less than:

• 75.0 m from all parcel lines

• 100.0 m from the natural boundary of a watercourse

• 75.0 m from Rural Residential areas

• 100.0 m from all wells and sources of domestic water

Bylaw No. 2547 also proposes to add “organic matter composting facility” as a permitted use in the Section 2.13 the Agricultural Processing Zone.

Bylaw No. 2547 also proposes to replace the existing Section 3.2.8 Violation with the following:

Every person who:

• Contravenes this bylaw; or

• Causes or permits any act or thing to be done in contravention of this bylaw; or

• Neglects or omits to do any act or thing required by this bylaw; or

• Fails to comply with an order, direction or notice given under this bylaw, or prevents or obstructs or attempts to obstruct the authorized entry of an offi cer onto the property under Section 3.2.7;

• may be issued a ticket for any offence against this Bylaw that has been designated as a ticketable offence pursuant to the Regional District’s municipal ticket information bylaw; and

Crashes attributed to winter weather

R C M P

R E P O R T

Salmon Arm RCMP were busy and responded to

a total of 52 calls for service over the Remembrance

Day long weekend.

The poor weather in particular contributed to

several motor vehicle crashes throughout Salmon

Arm and surrounding areas. On Nov. 10, at ap-

proximately 1 a.m., Salmon Arm RCMP received a

call of an overdue traveller. The caller reported his

girlfriend had been driving on White Lake Road but

had failed to return home that evening. The caller

had travelled the road prior to calling police, but was

unable to locate his girlfriend. Salmon Arm RCMP

were able to trace the girlfriend’s cellphone to the

Chase area where Chase RCMP were able to follow

up with some of her acquaintances and ensure her

safety and well being. She was located a short time

later unharmed and in good health.

On Nov. 11 at approximately 11:30 p.m., RCMP

were notified of a single vehicle crash on Highway

1 in Blind Bay. Investigating officers found that a

semi truck and trailer had lost control on the snow-

covered highway and driven into the ditch. The

driver received non-life threatening injuries and was

transported to hospital in Salmon Arm.

At approximately 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 12, police

were notified of a single vehicle crash on Auto Road

in Salmon Arm. Police found the driver had lost

control of his vehicle on the slippery, snow-covered

road, resulting in the vehicle going into a skid and

eventually flipping onto its roof in the middle of the

roadway.

No injuries were received. Police closed Auto

Road for a period of two hours due to the slippery

and dangerous road conditions at the time.

Also on Nov. 12, at approximately noon, Salmon

Arm RCMP were notified of a single vehicle crash

on Black Road. Investigation determined that the

driver had lost control on the snow-covered road-

way and driven into the ditch. No injuries were re-

ceived. Police issued violation tickets to the driver

who was found to have no driver’s licence and the

vehicle was uninsured.

Olsen adds there was 20 per cent fewer vehicle thefts and 72 per cent fewer break-ins since a bait car was introduced. Over 10,000 ads - updated daily bcclassified.com

LISA VANDERVELDE/BLACK PRESS

The Shuswap Trail Alliance is working with the BC Wildlife Federation and others to remind everyone us-ing wilderness trails through Crown land to stay safe during hunt-ing season. The peak season continues through to December. Wear highly visable clothing, keep to main trails, make noise when approaching a curve or uphill climb, avoid ani-mal carcasses and be bear aware. When dis-charging a firearm, hunters use the same rules that apply to maintained forestry roads – shoot away from the trail, not down or across trails, and re-move all carcass parts from the immediate vi-cinity of any publicly used trail.

Test trail signsTest trail signage is

still up on the lower South Canoe trails. The

Shuswap Trail Alliance needs your feedback. Take a walk or ride at the South Canoe Trail system and then leave your comments in the trailhead register box. Final edits will be made next week, ready for installation, as the new trail upgrades are com-pleted in November.

Upgrades to the low-er trail system are made possible through the City of Salmon Arm’s Greenways program, in partnership with the Shuswap Trail Alliance and local trail stewards. Watch for trail work crews and rerouting signage throughout November. For more information, or to add your name to the trail stewardship contact list, email [email protected], or call 250-832-0102.

Trail planningSend comments on

recreational trails and

routes that you consid-er a priority for im-proved access manage-ment throughout the Shuswap watershed – and tell the Trail Alli-ance why (e.g. ecologi-cal impacts, First Na-tions interests, multi-use coordination, ten-ure questions, social conflicts, new opportu-nities, etc) to [email protected].

The Shuswap Recre-ational Access and Trail Management Planning process will include an inventory of existing and proposed recre-ational trails, an envi-ronmental audit of those systems, First Nations reviews, com-munity participation to establish management priorities and the cre-ation of a Shuswap Trails Protocol to give direction to future plan-ning and management.

To get involved, call 250-832-0102.

Haldane’s Parent

Advisory Council is

enlisting the help of

the community to sup-

port literacy through-

out the school.

The annual Scho-

lastic book fair will be

taking place Nov. 20 to

22 and the parent advi-

sory committee would

like to extend an invi-

tation to all aunts, un-

cles, grandmas, grand-

pas, family friends and

even neighbours to

come and check out

this year’s inventory.

Books for all read-

ing abilities and grade

levels will be available

at the event as well as

activity sets, posters,

and much more.

The book fair pro-

vides a chance to get

some early Christmas

shopping done while,

at the same time, help-

ing out the school.

For every $10 that

is spent at the book

fair, up to $6 will be

donated directly to the

Haldane library.

The school’s stu-

dents are able to use

the library free of

charge on a regular ba-

sis, with many classes

making weekly trips.

All students will be

given a chance to view

the books and create a

wish list to pass along

to parents for potential

Christmas gift ideas.

Haldane prides itself

in providing a wide se-

lection of books for

the whole family, and

continues to do so

thanks, in large part, to

community support.

“Our library and

classroom libraries are

very valuable to our

school because literacy

is a big focus here and

we do as much as we

can to incorporate it.

With that being said,

everyone is welcome

to come out and shop

at this event and help

us reach our goal of

$5,000 for our librar-

Sand traps, speed bumps and snoozes.

What do those three things have in common? They all impede prog-ress.

After the previous weekend of two big wins to boost the spirits of the hockey club faith-ful, the local Heat served up cold leftovers of pre-vious weeks’ ineffective play.

The highly spirited team of the past week-end came out on Thurs-day the 8th against the Kelowna Chiefs and played like they hadn’t woken up from an after-noon nap. The Chiefs took a 7 – 2 victory back to the Little Apple while our boys caught up on some sleep.

Jacob Mattes faced 51 shots between the pipes and should have sued for abandonment.

Connor Venne got one in the first assisted by Kurtis Johnson and in the second feisty Tay-lor Jordan got one as-

sisted by Venne and Wade Cline.

On Friday night the locals bussed to Arm-strong to face the divi-sion-leading Knights. North Okanagan scored four goals in the first two frames to take a 4 – 0 lead into the third period. Mattes came on in relief of Devon Pear-son halfway through the contest. Both young men should be looking for legal aid.

Apparently Coach Fox blistered the paint off the dressing room

walls as our boys woke up long enough to pot a pair of goals. The first from Shelby Kostyshen from Johnson and Venne. The second from Venne assisted by Aiden Silzer-Hooker and Ko-styshen. The Knights ended scoring with an empty netter and a 5 – 2 victory.

The injury bug has hit the team as a number of regulars watched both games from the stands. However, good teams play through adversity and one period of de-

cent play in two games will likely lead to player movement as we con-tinue to build a winning franchise.

Next up are the Castlegar Rebels this Friday, Nov. 16 and then the Heat head to Revel-stoke for another major encounter with the Griz-zlies on Saturday the 17th.

The hockey club greatly appreciates the support of the “Heaters” fan base – may you have many warm nights through the cold of win-ter.

Kissing the old George goodbye # Retiring Shuswap MLA George Abbott pretends to kiss a card-board cutout of himself at a retirement party held at the Prestige Inn. The joke was that Abbott is kissing “Old George the politician” into the past as he ventures off into retirement. A number of dignitaries including Premier Christy Clark were on hand to pay tribute to the long-serving politician. Abbott remains the elected representative for the Shuswap riding until the provincial election in May.

Fire departments to merge

Directors of the Co-lumbia Shuswap Re-gional District board gave three readings to the Area F North Shus-wap Sub-Regional Fire Services Merger bylaw at the Oct. 18 board meeting in Salmon Arm.

In a memo to the board, Darcy Mooney, deputy manager of En-vironment & Engineer-ing Services, explained that merging the three fire service areas of Celista, Anglemont and Scotch Creek will pro-vide significant bene-fits, including: acceler-ated capital reserves, greater co-operation among fire chiefs, stan-dardization of equip-ment, bulk purchasing as well as closer and more consistent train-ing.

Having asked staff to investigate the costs to merge the three depart-ments, Area F director Larry Morgan then ex-pressed concern about costs to taxpayers.

In response to those concerns, staff adjusted

the mill rate so that Scotch Creek residents will have only a ‘negli-gible’ increase, while Celista and Anglemont area residents will en-joy a decrease in costs for fire service suppres-sion.

A strong immune

system is the body’s

best defence against

colds and flu. Good nu-

trition is key to build-

ing your body’s de-

fences. Help fight com-

mon bugs by filling

your diet with healthy

foods.

Load up on fruits and

vegetables. They con-

tain powerful antioxi-

dants, vitamins and

minerals which will

build up your immune

system to help fight off

illness.

Choose brightly

coloured or dark green

fruits and veggies for

the most antioxidants.

Aim for seven to eight

servings per day. One

serving equals one

small to medium sized

piece of fruit or vegeta-

ble or half a cup of

chopped.

Digestive health

plays an important role

in preventing sickness.

Normally, your body

contains “friendly”

bacteria, or flora, that

help fight off any “bad”

bacteria trying to gain

access to your system.

Diets high in refined

sugar, frequent antibi-

otic use, and everyday

stress can disrupt this

healthy balance of

“friendly” versus “bad”

bacteria, leaving one

more vulnerable to

sickness.

You can help restore

healthy digestive flora

by eating foods that

naturally contain good

bacteria and/or by tak-

ing a probiotic supple-

ment. Probiotics can be

found naturally in fer-

mented foods such as

yogurt, buttermilk,

miso, tempeh, and fresh

sauerkraut.

Vitamin D is also

thought to play an im-

portant role in strength-

ening the immune sys-

tem. Health Canada

recommends 200-600

IU per day depending

on age. Some other na-

tional health organiza-

tions recommend high-

er doses. For instance

the Canadian Cancer

Society recommends

1000 IU per day for

adults during the fall

and winter months. Di-

etary sources of vita-

min D include milk,

fortified soy beverage,

salmon, tuna, sardines

and egg yolks. Talk to

your health care pro-

vider to learn if you are

getting enough Vitamin

D.

Of course nutrition is

only part of the solu-

tion. Exercise is also a

powerful way to bol-

ster your immune sys-

tem. Among the many

benefits of exercise is

stress reduction. Stress

takes a significant toll

on our immune system

so it’s important to take

time for yourself.

Get out for a brisk

walk, bike ride, take

part in yoga, or any

physical activity that

you enjoy.

The forest industry in this community has a proud history and a prosperous future

Gorman Bros. Lumber Ltd. is pleased to announce its acquisition of Federated Co-operatives Limited’s (FCL) forest product assets at Canoe. The sale includes FCL’s plywood plant, sawmill and the log harvesting and forestry operations within the Okanagan Timber Supply Area surrounding Shuswap Lake.

With the additional availability of the high quality fi bre from the newly named Canoe Forest Products, Gorman Bros. Lumber will be able to complement its existing operations with another value added product (Canoe brand plywood) while ensuring the maximum value is obtained from the combined timber supply.

Gorman Bros. Lumber family of companies operate lumber production facilities in Westbank and Revelstoke, a pole division in Lumby, B.C., and a reman and reload operation in Oroville, WA.

“On behalf of Federated Co-operatives Limited, I would like to thank our Forest Product Division employees and the community for 67 years of faithful service and support. The transfer of ownership to Gorman Bros. will continue the co-operative tradition and positive business values on which both companies were formed.”

– Scott Banda, CEO, Federated Co-operatives Limited

“Gorman Bros. Lumber is delighted to expand our family of companies and thank FCL for the opportunity to continue the co-operative tradition of the Forest Products Division. We look forward to the ongoing support of our new employees and the community in creating an exciting future together.”

– Ron Gorman, CEO, Gorman Bros. Lumber Ltd.

Nick Arkle, Chief Forester from Gorman Bros., Ross Gorman, Co-founder of Gorman Bros. and Darrell Embley, Vice-President of Forest Products from FCL.
