Remembering Canada’s Veterans By Jo Anne Malpass Remembrance Day is a time to com-memorate the sacrifices made by Canadians in armed conflicts but Korean Veteran Bill McBride wants us also to remember the sacrifices made by their families. Bill’s father left to serve over-seas during WWII when Bill was nine years old. He would be gone for over five years. With limited income from the military, Bill’s mother raised four children. She took a job to sup-plement their in-come and with pat-riotism high at that time, also joined the Canadian Wom-en’s Auxiliary Corp

(CWAC) which enlisted several thousand women in support roles for the armed forc-es. Seeing his mother in uniform caused young Bill to worry that his mother would also be sent overseas. “These are the people who have really

made the sacri-fice,” said Bill. In 1949, Bill joined the Royal Canadian Signal Corp, where he would spend the next 17 years until being discharged in 1966. During that time, he served in Korea and in the Repub-lic of Congo. Bill left his own wife and two

children for over a (Continued on page 3)

year when he served in Korea. The Sig-nal Corp provided wireless communica-tion support, including repairs of radios, switchboards and telephones to the Royal 22nd Regiment (The Van Doos), Royal Canadian Regiment and Queen’s Own Rifles, all infantry units. Last year, he received the Korean government’s “Ambassador for Peace” Medal. At a 50th anniversary of the Korean War Ar-mistice, a Korean woman came up to him and said “thank you for bringing freedom and democracy to South Korea.” In the early 1960s when his family had grown to three children, he was sent away for six months on a peacekeeping mission to the Republic of Congo. He travelled over much of the Congo setting

up communications. Bill was posted to various bases from coast to coast to coast for months at a time and had to move his family from Kingston to Camp Borden to Ottawa. When Bill left the armed forces, he used his Signal Corp training to become a teacher of electronics at Vancouver Com-munity College. Bill and his second wife of 38 years, Kim Hoadley, retired to An-glemont 17 years ago and are both active at Lakeview Community Centre. Bill will be part of the Remembrance Day Ceremonies at Lakeview Centre at 11:00 am on November 11. Joe Wood will be emceeing the service and at-tendees are asked to be in their seats by 10:45 am.

Every year on November 11, we

pause in a moment of silence to remem-ber the Canadian men and women who have served our country in times of war, conflict and peace. More than 1,500,000 Canadians have served throughout our nation’s history and more than 118,000 made the ultimate sacrifice. Remembrance Day takes on a special significance in Canada this year, after Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was gunned down at the National War Memorial while serving as an honour guard and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent died after being deliber-ately struck by a vehicle in Quebec. With security at military bases across the country remaining tight and military personnel being told to continue to keep a low profile, support from Canadians will go a long way this year to build the mo-rale of our soldiers and veterans. Security will be significantly in-creased at the National War Memorial event organized by the Royal Canadian

Legion where a larger crowd than the normal 30,000 to 40,000 is expected. It has been announced that military person-nel will proudly wear their uniforms at the event, standing alongside the veter-ans. We often take for granted our rights and freedoms. This is the day for us to remember the service and sacrifice our veterans and their families made to pre-serve our values and beliefs. There are many ways to show sup-port for our Veterans; wear a poppy, at-tend a Remembrance Day Ceremony, educate our young people or sit down and speak with a Veteran, to name a few. Remembrance Day Ceremonies are being held at Lakeview Community Cen-tre in Anglemont and in Chase, Sorrento and Salmon Arm. Please refer to our calendar of events page for locations and times.

CSRD BOARD MEETING – OCTOBER 16TH, 2014

Multi – Materials BC 2015 - Recycling Depot Program

An allocation of $100,000 from the 2014 Solid Waste Management budget was approved for the purchase of contain-ers needed in the implementation of the new CSRD recycling depot program. These containers are necessary for the separation of recyclable materials and the containers will be supplied to each transfer stations throughout the Regional District service areas. CSRD Environmental Services staff are rolling out an education and public awareness campaign to ready the public for the changes that are occurring on Janu-ary 1st, 2015. Director’s Comments: Changes are com-ing to a recycling depot near you. Community Excellence Award - SLIPP The CSRD was the recipient of a UBCM 2014 Community Excellence Award for Partnership and Collaboration, in recognition of the Shuswap Lake Inte-grated Planning Project. This award signi-fies a local government agency has collab-orated with other levels of government or other government agencies, demonstrating the power of collaboration in reaching accomplishments that benefit the commu-nity. In the case of SLIPP, the participating local governments, First Nations and other agencies worked together for a common cause of protecting the water quality and quantity of Shuswap Lake. Board Chair David Raven acknowl-edged the contributions of the City of Salmon Arm, District of Sicamous, Thompson Nicola and North Okanagan Regional Districts, Village of Chase, First Nations, and other agencies commenting "it has been a pleasure to partner with each of these organizations in a common goal of protecting and managing the lake.....we also appreciate the opportunity to work with the federal and provincial agencies in a collaborative manner." Director's Comments: Partnership and collaboration will be required for whatev-er governance model may be selected, to succeed both the previous Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP); and the current Shuswap Watershed Council.

Ground Water Monitoring Well – Crown Land Tenure Application -

Anglemont The Board empowered the authorized signatories to acquire a License of Occupa-tion from the Province of BC for a thirty year term commencing October 28, 2014 and expiring October 27, 2044, over the land known as “part of the Southeast ¼ of Section 22, Township 23, Range 9, West of the Sixth Meridian, Kamloops Division of Yale District, except Block B and Plan C9271, for ground water monitoring well purposes. Groundwater samples are collected from a network of monitoring wells, do-mestic wells and surface sampling points within identified communities. The pur-pose of this program is the identification and monitoring of on-site sewer system effects on groundwater. The ground water monitoring well, located within the Com-munity of Anglemont, is on crown land and requires a License of Occupation is-sued by the Province. A $500 application processing fee and license of occupation fee will be paid from the Area ‘F’ Liquid Waste Management Plan budget. It is expected the Ministry of Forest, Lands, and Natural Resource Oper-ations (MFLNRO) will issue the License of Operation. Director’s Comments: The CSRD con-ducts ground water testing at a variety of locations, including Anglemont, in Area ‘F’. Ground water monitoring is an essen-tial requirement, given there are no com-munity sewer systems in place on the North Shuswap or Seymour Arm.

hydro costs, with the return on investment achieved in approximately 5 years. An on-demand (tankless) hot water system will not produce the same associat-ed standby energy losses that a storage type water heater generates. Due to the infrequent use of hot water in the Firehall, converting to an on-demand system will consume far less energy, as a tankless wa-ter system heats and provides hot water only on demand. Director’s Comments: This is an appro-priate use of Community Works Funds (gas taxes), in providing for energy effi-ciency upgrades at the Anglemont Fire-hall. Development Permit No. 830-135 Isley -

Civic Address: 1249 Jordan Way - Approved

The applicant is planning to construct a 2 phased mini storage development on his property at 1249 Jordan Way. The stor-age complex will also contain a residential dwelling unit. Since the property is desig-nated commercial within the Scotch Creek Primary Settlement Area there is a require-ment for a Village Centre Development Permit. The Development Permit Area contains guidelines for form and character. The proposal is to construct 2 build-ings which closely resemble the storage center already constructed by this owner on the property immediately adjacent to the south. The proposed new buildings are not situated on the Squilax-Anglemont Road and therefore several of the pedestri-an accessibility guidelines of the OCP for form and character of development simply do not apply to this project. Other guide-line requirements for weather protection and pedestrian sidewalks are also not nec-essary. Also required parking is not pro-posed in the front yard area and therefore landscaping requirements do not apply. In all other respects, the proposed mini-storage complex meets the applicable guidelines of the Official Community Plan for form and character. The CSRD Building Regulation func-tion will further ensure compliance with zoning regulations and the BC Building Code, through the building permit process. The Development Permit for a new mini-storage development meets the guidelines for form and character as re-quired in the Electoral Area ‘F’ Official Community Plan. Director’s Comments: This development permit application was recommended for approval by the Advisory Planning Com-mission at their meeting on September

30th. The development fits in well with the form and character of Scotch Creek, as the Primary Settlement Area, in Area ‘F’. The storage facility, along with the existing facility on the adjoining property fills a need, primarily for recreational property owners, here on the North Shuswap. Typi-cally, recreational property owners need to store their boats and other equipment, away from the limited space available at their waterfront townhomes; and other types of properties. Lake Zoning Amendment (CSRD) By-

law No. 900-1 Receives Second Reading/Public Hearing Delegated

The primary purpose of Bylaw No. 900-1 is to recognize the existing log stor-age and distribution facilities on Shuswap Lake. A new Foreshore Industrial Zone is proposed; along with new definitions for: Industrial Moorage Facility, boat, house-boat, personal watercraft and vessel. Bylaw No.900-1 also proposes some formatting and text amendments to pro-vide clarification and consistency with other CSRD bylaws. Federated Co-op applied to the Prov-ince to renew five of their eight foreshore tenures, to continue the use of the five log storage and distribution facilities on Shus-wap Lake. Four of these log booms are located within areas regulated by the CSRD. Three sites are within CSRD Area ‘F’ and include: Lee Creek; Cape Horn near St. Ives; and Two Mile next to Two Mile Provincial Park on Seymour Arm. The CSRD had received a referral as part of the crown tenure process. An application for an extension of the tenure is part of the transition of owner-ship from Federated Co-op to Gorman Brothers (Canoe Forest Products). When Bylaw 900 was written, these industrial sites were not recognized within the zoning bylaw. Director’s Comments: This proposed Bylaw Amendment will serve to formalize the zoning for the existing log storage and distribution facilities around the Shuswap, including the three located in Area ‘F’. A public hearing is scheduled for 2PM Wednesday, November 5th at the Scotch Creek Community Hall/Firehall.

Grants-in-Aid Note to community groups and organ-izations: The Board will not be consider-ing any further grant-in-aid applications until after the November 15th, 2014 Local Government Elections. Director’s Comments: The Kicker hits the stands on November 7th. GIA requests will be entertained shortly thereafter.



Theft of Property On Oct 6, Chase RCMP were called to investigate a theft of property from the entrance of Caravans West at Scotch Creek. 100 feet of multi-coloured rope lights were stolen from the property. On Oct 7, Chase RCMP received a report of a theft from vehi-cle. The complainant stated that he had been camping at Albas Falls on Seymour Arm. An Acer laptop was stolen from his un-

locked truck. Police would like to remind the public to secure their property no matter how safe the area may look.

RCMP Respond at Salmon Run On Oct 17, Chase RCMP were dispatched to assist BC Park Rangers at Roderick Haig-Brown Park for a male who was refus-ing to leave the property. During the investigation, it was discov-ered that the man and his dog were causing a minor disturbance within the park boundaries and had been asked to leave. When police arrived, the man refused to identify himself. He was there-fore arrested for obstruction. It was later determined that he may be a possible Freeman of the land. The investigation continues as to whether any charges will be laid. During the Salute to the Sockeye Salmon event, police were called to a multitude of complaints about traffic offences. Most violations were related to parking, which included blocking traffic and causing a hazard.

Vehicle theft On Oct 22, Chase RCMP were called to investigate a theft of vehicle complaint in the 3700 block of Squilax Anglemont Hwy. The vehicle was parked and left unattended for the day with the keys left inside and the doors unlocked. At the time of printing the vehicle has not been recovered. On Oct 28, Chase RCMP received a complaint of a Break and Enter at a residence in Seymour Arm. Nothing was missing from the house except a set of keys to a yellow 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel pick-up truck, which was subsequently stolen. If you see

Quicksand? On Oct 25, Chase RCMP were called to assist the ambu-lance with a male fisherman who was stuck in the water off the shores of Shuswap Lake in Lee Creek. The caller de-scribed the man as sinking up to his chest in mud. With the assistance of rope and a by-stander, the man was success-fully freed uninjured.

Single Vehicle Collision On Oct 27, at approximately 7:30 am Chase RCMP re-sponded to a collision on Ta’Lana Bay Bridge. A Toyo-ta pick-up sustained front end

damage after losing control on the bridge deck and colliding with a concrete barrier. Skid marks showed the vehicle was travelling westbound and crossed the road upon exiting the bridge, striking the con-crete barricade. At the time the bridge deck was heavily frosted and slippery. The driv-er reported the accident and was issued a violation ticket for failing to keep right of a double solid line. Police would like to re-mind drivers that this is the time of year that road surfaces tend to be more slippery than normal. Please take necessary precautions according to the weather and drive safe.


Salute to the Sockeye Festival Success

Submitted by Darlene McBain The Adams River Salmon Society wish to thank all the volunteers - local and interna-tional who helped make our Salute to the Sockeye 2014 Festival a success. We are also indebted to our Event Coordi-nator, Jeremy Heighton, the Directors who were able spend so much time helping out at the Park, Salute Staff and our work placement students. We

couldn’t have hosted this spec-

tacular event without every one of you. The Salute to the Sockeye Festival got off to a great start with the Opening Ceremonies on Sunday, October 5, 2014. We had the Minister of Fisher-ies and Oceans, Gail Shea, attend as a guest speaker. The former Minister, Tom Siddons was also present. Politicians from every level of govern-ment were in attendance for this event. We celebrated the installation of the new viewing platform with a ribbon cutting ceremony. There was enter-tainment and our food vendors, the Artisan tent and Souvenir Tent were kept busy all after-noon.

This year the Chamber of Commerce had a presence at the Park with Christine Lepsoe helping out in the Shuswap Tourism Tent. Once again, our business community stepped up and supported us with spon-sorships to build a much need-ed addition on the cabin, pro-vide new and improved light-ing and a heater so we can actually keep warm in the shoulder seasons, and to pro-vide entertainment for the event. We also received gener-ous sponsorship from Safety Mart in Chase and Askews in Salmon Arm to feed our volun-teers snacks and drinks, and to celebrate our volunteers at our Volunteer Appreciation dinner. Due to delays in the up-grades to the Park, we were not able to open this summer. But it was worth the wait. The state of the art viewing platform, which was funded in part by the Pacific Salmon Commis-sion and Rocky Mountaineer Railtours, has made a big im-pact. Also, our trails were en-hanced and much needed fenc-ing was put up in places to protect the banks and other areas from being eroded.

Golden Ears Farm crew commended

By Jo Anne Malpass The Kicker would like to commend all of the volunteers who made the Salute to the Sockeye event such a success. We have had reports that Golden Ears Farm by Chase did an “absolutely incredible job” with garbage disposal work and were able to recycle and compost nearly everything, spending hours separating gar-bage. Shifts were from 8 am to 5 pm (a few days went until 6 pm), with one person on shift from Monday to Thursday and two people on shift from Friday to Sunday. On Thanksgiving Weekend, they had three peo-ple on site to accommodate the very large numbers of people

going through the park. The crew did a regular cycle of walking the trails to collect garbage, emptying bins located around the park and consolidating waste in one ar-ea, cleaning out the portables, collecting and sorting the recy-clable and compostable waste. Some of the food vendors also had them take their waste away at the end of every day. Everyone on site for the event played a vital role in customer service, engaging with the visitors to discuss view points, trail systems, park-ing, and general information about the area and salmon run. Congratulations to all on a job well done.

As we finalize the num-bers, we appear to have hosted over 110,000 visitors form around the globe. It is amazing how much the Salmon draw crowds. People marvel at these beautiful fish, their life cycle and the place of their birth and death - the Adams River. Our Society and our Vol-unteers can take pride in the fact that we did our best to ensure that our human visitors had a safe, enjoyable time while at the Park. We also did our best to keep the Salmon safe and the ecosystem of the

park intact. Not an easy task when you have thousands of people in the Park at one time. We have tried to imple-ment new protocols and sys-tems this year to improve the running of this event and would appreciate any feedback you may have as to what you thought worked well and what you think we could improve on. Please email our president: [email protected] with your comments. The next Salute to the Sockeye Festival will be in 2018. It is our intention to

continue to be open every sea-son until then and to host events at the Park to celebrate the Salmon as they return every fall and to enjoy our beautiful Roder-ick Haig-Brown park.

…SideKick Focus on Kicker Advertisers

and Supporters

By Jo Anne Malpass Dave Edwards Drywall has been installing drywall at jobs big and small on the North Shuswap for the past 20 years. His company did the dry-wall work at Super Valu, Ross Creek Country Store and has done several large projects for Little Shus-wap Indian Band, including the gas station building, medi-cal building and major renova-tions at Quaaout Lodge. The drywall for many of the large homes and small renovations has been provided by Dave. Dave stepped down from the tools a few years ago when he turned 65, giving more work to his staff. He employs one to two tapers and two to three Gyprockers at any given time. Irwin Doebe-li is the main taper now, hav-ing worked with Dave almost since the business started. Dave still goes out to do the pricing and gets the materials on site. “Drywall has been good to me. I’ve been kept busy all these years.” It’s not going crazy right now, he said but it keeps the board men and ta-pers busy enough to make a living and not have to move away. He and his wife, Terri, bought property in Anglemont in 1982, eventually building a home and moving here full time. Before the move, he worked in Kamloops for about 15 years, working on projects at Caribou College,

the Clock Tower and library. Dave remembers when things weren’t quite as good. In the 80’s, he couldn't find work in the area so went up to work in Tumbler Ridge. He also went as far away as Sas-katchewan when things got slow. “When I started my

business out here, there was enough work for year round and I’ve worked pretty well steady.” He’s con-cerned about

the present economy of the North Shuswap. It’s hard to start new businesses when homes are being bought by people who are only here for a couple of weeks a year. He wonders if some kind of light industry would encourage young families to the area. “We’ve got everything here; it seems hard to see why the North Shore doesn’t go.” The oldest of six children, he has a brother and a brother-in-law in the drywall business. Dave and Terri have two chil-dren and four grandchildren. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and has been quite involved with Anglemont Golf Course, was president of the Men’s Club until recently. In his spare time, he is either golfing or working on the yard. Dave Edwards Drywall has been advertising with The Kicker for many years. We appreciate his support and wish Dave and his business continued success in the fu-ture.

Most sellers list for sale in the spring and let the listing expire in the fall if it didn’t sell.

In the summer months it is common to see as many as 330 Active listings in the North Shuswap. Late fall to early spring, the number of Active listings often falls to below 100. Inventory is typically low for the winter buyer who shops online. The Seller who keeps their listing active over the winter has far less completion and has a good chance of attracting a buyers’ interest for their spring visit to the Shuswap.

There is valid reason to keep your listing active over the winter.

Congratulations to Director Morgan

I would like to congratulate Larry Morgan on being elected by acclamation to a 4 year term as our Area Director. We are very fortunate to have a person of Larry’s caliber step up again and serve our community. This is a job that doesn’t pay well, takes up a lot of time, impacts family life, and leads to a lot of criticism from residents. I think it is appropriate to recognize what Larry has done for the North Shuswap. He was instrumental in the successful referendum and re-building of the Anglemont wa-ter system. He was instrumental in the designation of Lee Creek as a secondary settlement area that allowed the Cottonwood campground to finally move forward. He and the Mayor of Sicam-ous were responsible for ques-tioning the mandate of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Plan-ning Process and bringing it back to reality – a group fo-cused on lake water quality. He has provided written sup-port to allow semi-waterfront property owners to have docks. He has worked tirelessly to bring hydro services to Sey-

mour Arm and has won the support of our MLA Greg Kyllo. Through grants in aid, he has supported the Chamber’s com-munity signing program. And most importantly, he keeps us well informed of re-gional district business with his articles in the Kicker. Thank you from all of us in the North Shuswap.

Dock Update Another month and no change to the semi-waterfront dock situation. It’s hard to be-lieve that this issue isn’t re-solved yet. We also haven’t seen any indication that more reasonable rules will be adopted for all dock authorizations. I do want to recognize For-ests and Lands for a very rea-sonable approach to a recent dock authorization given the constraints they operate under. I had the opportunity to review the file from some long term property owners in Sorrento who applied to authorize an existing dock that was under 24 m2. Some compliance prob-lems were noted; specifically the incorrect spacing of floata-tion, lack of 1.5 m of depth at the shore side of the dock, and the prior use of paint some years ago. The approach taken was to authorize the dock with the condition that when re-placed, the noncompliance items would be corrected. I applaud this application of common sense. It still took a year and while I still have prob-lems with how reasonable the rules are, things seem to be trending in the right direction.

Blind Bay Resort I was very pleased to see that the regional district finally gave this project 3rd reading. Congratulations to Dan Baskill and his family who can finally complete the Blind Bay Resort.

A recent article in the Salmon Arm Observer noted that it took 8 separate amend-ments to the new Official Com-munity Plan to approve this project. When I read the article, I got the sense that the reporter thought this was a bad thing. To me this reinforces my belief that the Official Community Plan is a seriously flawed docu-ment. Some things were mandat-ed by the province and the re-gional district was compelled to include them. This includes implementing the Riparian Area Regulation which was supposed to happen back in 2004. It also includes a process for develop-ing hazardous lands such as steep slopes, wildfire prone areas, and managing flood risks. The anti-business anti-economic development theme of the document was entirely created by regional district staff and the advisory committee. It prohibits any commercial devel-opment on the waterfront. No new restaurants, no new com-mercial moorage, no campgrounds, and no hotels. Even the new waterfront re-gional district office in Salmon Arm could not have been built

in the South Shuswap without amending the Official Commu-nity Plan. This OCP goes even fur-ther. It asks that there be no visible clear cuts from Shuswap Lake, limits be put on the num-ber of boats using the lake, sets a minimum lot size for new waterfront lots of 2 ½ acres within Secondary Settlement Areas and 5 acres outside these areas, and suggests any new development be set back 164 feet from the lake. The OCP sends the message that South Shuswap is closed for business. Fortunately the regional board got past this and ap-proved the Blind Bay Resort rezoning by a margin of 4 to 2. This project was also supported by the North Shuswap Chamber as we felt it was good for our regional economy. We believe our members benefit from eco-nomic activity anywhere in the region. The Area Directors who supported this project showed a lot of courage, especially during an election. In my opinion they’ve earned our support at the polls this November. Get out and vote for a stronger economy by supporting these 4 Directors.


North Shuswap Food Hampers

By Alison Elmes As Christmas draws closer the North Shuswap Food Bank/Christmas Hamper Committee is gearing up once again to offer Christmas Hampers to those in need in our communi-ty. The hampers and caring that can be offered to people who find themselves in difficulties, for whatever reason, make a big difference over the holiday season. They also lighten the load of putting food on the table during January and Feb-ruary. As always our focus is to help everyone in need but espe-cially families with children. This program is very dependent on the continuing generosity of

the community. Donations of non-perishable food item and gifts can be put in the collec-tion boxes at SuperValu, Sunnyside Store and Ross Creek Country Store after No-vember 15th. Cheques, made payable to the North Shuswap Food Bank, can be mailed to: - 7465 Squilax/ Anglemont Road, Anglemont, B.C, V0E 1M8. Non- tax deductible re-ceipts will be issued. If you wish to add your name or someone else’s name to the list to receive a Hamper, please call Janice at 250-955- 2393 or Heather at 1-250-804-6786, before the cut off date of Satur-day, December 13th 2014.

Ross Creek Park Slated for Upgrades

By Jo Anne Malpass After a public meeting and considering survey results and budget constraints, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Parks Board is recommending up-grades to Ross Creek Park and work on Evelyn Falls trail head for the CSRD 2015 budget. CSRD Parks Team Leader Marcin Pachcinski told mem-bers of the Area F Parks Advi-sory Committee at a meeting October 1, the high usage of Ross Creek Park makes it a priority. It will be upgraded to increase parking and improve the day use area by creating a trail to the mouth of Ross Creek, possibly with picnic tables placed along path. Im-provements will be made to maintain the area as natural as possible. The property above the Anglemont Fire Hall was given to the CSRD by the Province

for the Fire Hall with the agree-ment that it would be turned back if not used for this pur-pose. CSRD Parks is in talks with Front Counter BC to use the land instead, for a trail head for the Evelyn Falls trail with parking, a vault toilet, garbage and recycling. There wouldn’t be enough money in the budget to complete the trail head but Committee members recom-mended splitting the project in half to get some of the work done. Also recommended for 2015 is a custom made metal wheel chair railing and better beach access to complete work at St. Ives Park. Improvements to parkland at Welch Road in Anglemont had been discussed but Pachcinski said there wouldn’t be enough in the budget to start this project next year.

Committee members were told that work by Shuswap Trail Alliance on the Evelyn Falls trail above Anglemont and work at the Cornwall Road Beach access park at Lee Creek would be completed by the end of October. Pachcinski said he would be leaving the CSRD, moving to work for the District of Mis-sion, but would get things set up for approval in the March budget. Responses from the parks survey showed a parallel walk-ing/bicycle trail to the Squilax

Anglemont Highway is a high priority. Pachcinski said there is no way to collect enough local taxes to do it but recom-mends using park funds in the future to prepare engineered drawings so it would be “shelf ready” when the federal gov-ernment offers infrastructure grants. Another item identified through the surveys, he said, is improvements to existing parks for youth activities such as bik-ing or skating. CSRD Parks will be keep-ing its parks survey available n-line for public input.


Submitted by Shuswap Water-front Owners Association Water quality in the Shuswap system is critical. Environmental, economic and quality of life factors dictate this. With a few exceptions, Shuswap water quality is very good. The goal is to keep it that way, and to minimize and reduce the impacts of those few areas of concern. The Shuswap Waterfront Owners Association (SWOA) sent a discussion paper to Columbia Shuswap Regional District candidates asking for their opinion on the Shuswap Watershed Council, to be shared with its members and local media. SWOA formed in the summer of 2009 and with over 900 members represent-ing some 450 waterfront and semi-waterfront properties on Shuswap, Mara and Little Shuswap Lake, we continue to advocate on behalf of our members. One matter of great con-cern is the formation of the Shuswap Watershed Council. It would be a permanent re-placement of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Pro-cess, SLIPP, which ended its

three year trial period last spring. From our experience SLIPP was a failure, it spent $1,000,000 with few results except to coordinate water quality test results from Shus-wap Lake. The proponents of the SWC want to continue this work but have not provid-ed any indication of how much it will cost, who will pay or who will sit on its board. SWOA supports water quality testing and the long term protection of the lake environment. We propose that bringing the effort 'in house' to the CSRD is a better solu-tion. Sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Fraser Basin Council (FBC) to manage water quality test-ing results and 'coordinate' the government departments whose job is to keep the water clean, is a misuse of precious local funds. To date, four candidates have responded. Area C Di-rector Paul Demenok wrote “we have several important submissions we're awaiting which will inform the CSRD, RDNO and TNRD Boards and the SWC Steering Com-mittee. After we've reviewed

these submissions we will be better able to adopt a position on this matter.” Area E Director Rhona Martin wrote “I am not in a position to provide com-ment on your request at this time as the Board is currently waiting for a couple of reports that would inform my com-ments.” Area E Candidate Dan Letendre wrote in part “But on the surface it ap-pears that the proposed SWC is just a duplication of existing government ser-

vices. I am of the opinion, government ministries and agencies that are already mandated with the responsibility of envi-ronmental protection and development should handle and respond to issues as they arise. I do agree that continued wa-ter monitoring is paramount to evaluate the overall health of the lake. And with 40+ years of accumulated data we al-ready have a good base line to go on.” The discussion paper and full responses are posted on SWOA’s website at http://www.swoa.ca/csrd-election


Shuswap Water Quality continued

By Jo Anne Malpass Area F Columbia Shuswap Region-al District Director Larry Morgan says he is thankful to be re-elected by accla-mation and given the opportunity to complete items started during his first term. His focus for the next four years will be on looking at ways to encourage growth of the recreation based economy of the North Shuswap. Some of his priorities include work-ing with Gateway Lakeview Resort at Lee Creek in its application to rezone and subdivide into strata lots. This will probably take the better part of 2015, he said. He is meeting with CSRD staff to look into getting a fire hall for Lee Creek. By the time Lee Creek firefight-ers drive to Scotch Creek Fire Hall and then back to Lee Creek, it is past the 8 minute critical time limit. He is not sure how long this will take but Lee Creek has the population density to warrant it so he would like to get the process start-ed. Something else he wants to focus on is the electrification of Seymour Arm. BC Energy Minister Bill Bennett put a three year freeze on this type of initia-tive and there are two years left before it can come up for BC Hydro considera-tion again. Morgan has been meeting with the Ministry of Transportation and Infra-structure, to advocate for including a

road from the North Shuswap to Sun Peaks on its 10 year priorities plan. He is working with MoTi, Sun Peaks offi-cials and members of Little Shuswap Indian Band. The road would be good for the economy, connecting two resort communities and providing an alternate route to Highway 5. He will be looking into a zoning initiative for the three communities not already zoned, Celista, St. Ives and Sey-mour Arm. Parks not only provide access for locals but are an attraction for tourists. He plans to increase the budget for CSRD Area F Parks over the next few years to the maximum levy of 30c per $1,000 of assessed property value. The assessment has increased from 15c in 2011 when Morgan was first elected to 21c last year. He will continue to look into possible sites for boat launches. He has made a commitment to work more closely with local First Nations, in particular the Little Shuswap Lake Indi-an Band, over the next four years. For coordination of lake water qual-ity monitoring, he supports a model that would have the CSRD Board manage it. It would work in conjunction with the municipalities of Salmon Arm and Sicamous and with surrounding Region-al Districts when services overlap. De-cisions would be made by elected repre-sentatives, not by special interest groups.

Friendship Dinner Just Around the Corner

By Jeannie Kostesky The 22nd Annual Friendship Dinner has arrived and what a great traditional event. It was all started by a great lady named Vera Gottlieb and company, on December 18, 1993. As I am a new member of this com-munity it is my pleasure to join these remarkable volunteers and help continue this great tradition for the North Shus-wap Community. It was my first time last year and I was in awe of how every-one gathered together and celebrated the warmth and friendship of the season. From that moment, I knew I had to join. The date is usually the first Sunday in December but this year due to other commitments (and the Grey Cup on the 30th) it will be on Saturday November 29, 2014, at the North Shuswap Commu-nity Hall. The door will open at 5:00 and dinner will be at 5:30. Dinner tick-ets will be available at Super Valu and Sunnyside Market by November 19th. Please remember to bring your own dish-es, mugs and cutlery. A dessert table will be set up for any sweet items you wish to bring and share.

Friendship dinner tickets are free. There will be a donation box at the door for those who would like to contribute to help with costs for next year’s dinner. Donations of non-perishable goods to go to the North Shuswap Food Bank are also much appreciated. In order to make this year's dinner another successful event, volunteers from the community are needed to cook turkeys, cook and mash potatoes and make gravy. The turkeys and potatoes are supplied. People are needed to set up the Hall on Friday November 28th at 12 noon and help is needed to clean up after dinner (usually finished this chore by 8 p.m.). Two people are needed to serve the dinner. If you would like to take one of these roles, please contact Jeannie Kostesky 250 955 2971 or Janice Fisher 250 955 2393. If you have tickets and cannot at-tend, please return them to Sunnyside Market as we always have a waiting list of friends.


Snowmobile Club Repairs Lookout Cabin

By Jo Anne Malpass The Crowfoot Mountain Mobley Lookout Cabin has been repaired by members of the Crowfoot Mountain Snow-mobile Club in keeping with the historic period. Originally built as a fire lookout at the top of the mountain, the 12’ by 12’ building is now used by snow-mobilers and hikers as a place to stop to warm up or eat lunch. Club member Ian Dagleish said the building was starting to look neglected so members of the club decided to take the job on for the bene-fit of everyone who rides on Crowfoot. “If it’s cold and foggy, it’s nice to have.” The old shingles were stripped off and the tarpaper, shingles and trim were re-placed. A broken window was also recently replaced and the inside was given a good cleaning. They tried to match the original look as well as they could. Snowmobile club members Ian Dalgleish, Jamie Chretien, Brad Geschke and Cam Madsen did the work and George Lewis supplied the shingles. An article in the Shuswap Chronicles written by Mary Zoretich explains the history of the lookout. In 1927, C.W. “Charlie” Mobley was the

District Forest Ranger for the Dominion Forestry Depart-ment. He was the supervisor in charge of the construction of the trail, telephone line and lookout, built on what was commonly known as Crow-foot Mountain, but which he officially named after himself, Mobley Mountain. He began construction of the trail and of the lookout with Sam Edgar as assistant. In 1928, the lookout was finished. A telephone line was strung from the home-stead of Billy Gray along the Forestry trail and up to the lookout. A piece of equipment called an Azimuth or fire-finder was mounted in the centre of the lookout just above window level. This was a telescope mounted on a circular dial which indicated the direction in degrees, North being zero. This allowed the lookout to report accurately the location of any fire he spotted. Other than this equipment, he had a stove, a cot, a couple of chairs and a locking cupboard to keep ani-mals out. “The best information that we can gather indicates that the Crowfoot Lookout only operated until 1930,” when the

Reinbrecht Trial Set For February

By Jo Anne Malpass The criminal negligence trial for Celista resident Leon Reinbrecht has been set to start February 2, 2015 at the Kamloops Court House. Reinbrecht was charged after a speedboat crashed into a houseboat on Magna Bay following a July 2010 Canada Day fireworks display. The impact embedded the speed-boat completely inside the houseboat cabin, killing 53-year-old houseboat owner

Ken Brown and injuring eight of the 16 people aboard the vessels. Crown Counsel Neil Flanagan said there are two charges, criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. Many witnesses will be called at the trial, which could last up to six weeks. The trial was postponed earlier this year because of a change in defense counsel.

Forestry was taken over by the Province. In 1927, lumber, win-dows, shingles and cement were hauled up the mountain using horses and took several months. The renovations this fall were done over the course of two weekends with materi-als hauled by truck. More information about the history of Mobley Lookout and Crowfoot Mountain can be found in Vol. 5 of the North Shuswap Historical

Society “Shuswap Chroni-cles.” The Crowfoot Mountain Snowmobile Club enjoyed a good season last winter, with a strong membership of 283 members. The club normally starts grooming mid-December, depending on snow conditions, and contin-ues through to April.

SCOTCH CREEK/LEE CREEK Submitted by Art Stoll

Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Fire Depart-ment communities have been fortunate enough to have had no fire calls for the months of August and September. We had one call for a lift assist, requested by BC Ambulance Service. Our current roster is at 24 members. Thank you to our new members Jan Hed-mark, Christina Meyer, Josh Skidmore and Adam Popoff for their enthusiasm and commitment. At time of writing, we are deep into decorating the fire hall for our annual Halloween Party. We had games for the kids, dunk tank, yes again the Chief was delegated to the dunk seat, hot dogs, apple cider and bobbing for apples. We hope you had a wonderful time and please let us know how we can make next year’s party more exciting. With fall comes the open burning regulation. Please remember you are al-lowed to burn two - 3 m. x 3 m. piles of organic debris. You must have a shovel and buckets of water readily accessible in case a gust of wind drives embers into the surrounding area. You can combine these two piles; however you would then need to obtain a burn reference number from Kamloops Fire Centre and have an exca-vator onsite. I would like to thank the fire fighters for their dedication and commitment. They are volunteer professional fire fight-ers who take the time out of their work and private lives to help with the safety of their community. Please come out to observe our drills every Tuesday night from 7 to 9 pm and perhaps consider joining one of the local fire departments.

CELISTA By Roy Phillips

Another quiet month for the Celista Fire Department as far as emergency call-outs were concerned, however the “Team” kept very busy on practice evenings. A highlight this month was a joint practice at our Hall with Anglemont Fire Department. We practiced with a car (see photo) and dumpster Fire. Thanks to Mike Sanderson of the Anglemont VFD for bringing some of his crew, and for assis-tance in a very successful practice. We

certainly will do that again. Later in the month, we joined Scotch Creek/Lee Creek VFD in a water shuttle exer-cise. We value these joint exercis-es; it is in-valuable to see what each Fire

Department can perform when together as a unit. As winter approaches, we urge every-one to ensure their heating system is in safe working condition, including having a clean chimney. Check all portable heat-ing appliances for loose fittings, frayed wires and debris. With the shorter daylight hours, please ensure your property address is clearly marked. A reflective sign availa-ble from the North Shuswap First Re-sponders is a valuable investment. We would like to welcome and thank our new recruit, Nathan Lewis. Thanks to all for the overwhelming response to our new Facebook page. If you haven't visited yet, you're missing out! There are lots of pictures, articles and more. If you have any questions about Celista Fire Department please call Roy (Fire Chief) @250-517-0540 As always Be Safe, Think Safety. We're Ready, are You?

North Shuswap Chamber of Commerce Invites you to come and enjoy

ANGLEMONT Submitted by Dave King

Anglemont VFD has re-mained very busy with minor changes to our Fire Hall; build-ing of a new storage area, safe-ty railing for the driveway and better use of available space. We are now at full capacity, other than changes to our train-ing room. We are very excited about our venture into Fire Preven-tion Week (The theme was “Smoke Alarms”). Anglemont VFD exclusively attended the North Shuswap Elementary School, made classroom presentations, had all the kids participate in Fire Truck Demonstrations (everyone got to spray water, sound the old siren, and ask questions), con-ducted draws and awarded prizes to all the kids. The Junior Fire Chief for the day was selected by the school and Anglemont VFD was placed in her very capable

hands for the entire program. She was dressed in a full set of turn out gear, managed all ra-dio transmissions and took command of our firefighters. She introduced her classmates and provided numerous pizzas for all students. The big hit of the day was demonstration of our new Thermal Imaging Camera. The kids were intrigued to see their classmates in the darkness of their classrooms. This tool will allow firefighters to locate the source of a fire as well as any people who may need assis-tance, even in the dark. Don’t be surprised if your kids come home from school and ask,

Where are our smoke alarms? Have we tested them? When did the batter-ies get changed?

Do we have an escape plan? Where are we supposed to meet outside? Can we prac-tice our escape plan?

By Jo Anne Malpass There are three candidates for Co-lumbia Shuswap Regional District Area C Director. The Kicker asked them to pro-vide information about themselves and their position on what they saw as the main issues facing the South Shuswap. Incumbent Area C Director Paul Demenok wrote: After owning a medical communications/education business, Sue and I moved to the Shuswap in 2009 planning to golf, curl, boat and volunteer. We volunteer for the Canadian Cancer Society and its Relay for Life. I volun-teered for the Shuswap Estates Communi-ty Association, became its President, and was then elected CSRD Area C Director in 2012. I believe public service is a privilege, an opportunity to help others and improve one’s community. After two years as Electoral Area Director some accom-plishments for Area C include: Kept Area C taxes low Updated Liquid Waste Management Plan

Chaired SLIPP and Shuswap Watershed Council Steering Committees, re-focussed activities towards water quali-ty, initiated work on new governance/funding models, monitoring and remedi-ation plans, and led consultations with the public, local governments, and First Nations.

Obtaining grant funding for Blind Bay/Sorrento sewers and Sunnybrae water treatment

Initiating Area C economic development plan

Achieving approved governance/funding model for Shuswap Watershed Council

Implementing new Area C Parks Plan Evaluating electoral reform options and feasibility of recreational/cultural centre

Reducing bylaw enforcement costs and CSRD expenses

Improving health care services and CSRD communications with the public

Your support on November 15th would be greatly appreciated. Candidate Richard Norman is mar-ried and a father of three with two grand-children. He wrote: My wife and I moved to Blind Bay from the Vancouver area nine years ago. Now semi-retired, I enjoy boating, hiking the trails through-out the region, puttering around in my yard and practicing martial arts. I have served on strata councils and dealt with unions as a Shop Steward. I actively stay on top of the political scene by reading all local newspaper with regu-lar daily updates from the Regional Dis-trict website. I have deep concerns with the current Director’s proposal and direction for growth and development. Attracting the necessary investment is one step for sen-sible, thoughtful community planning but proper balance between residential and commercial development is extremely important to maintain the quality of life people have come to expect and enjoy. The wrong development will take away the quality of life that we presently know. Protecting our natural environment and our lakes is a very serious issue, one we cannot ignore. Living here is a gift and we have an obligation to protect, preserve and retain this jewel we call home. We need to believe in and support our newly adopted OCP, the tool for the future of Area C. Candidate Alan McClelland said he has lived in Sorrento since 1979. His interest in history and geography led him to start Uncle Al’s, specializing in an-tiques and rustic furniture. He helped organize the Chamber of Commerce in the early 80’s, serving

twice as president. He has been involved in many grass roots organizations includ-ing the Festival of the Arts, heading the fireworks crew for Canada Day and was a fire fighter for 14 years. “In the past, things happen here, community wise, without a whole lot of money being expended,” he said. There’s a lot of heart and soul in the local organizations and people can work to-gether to get things done. One of his main objectives is to develop something for children and teenagers to, whether it’s a skateboard park, recreation centre, are-na or pool. He believes this can be ac-complished through volunteer organiza-tions and the private sector without ask-ing for too much government aid. “If you get stuff for the kids and stuff for the seniors, everyone in between is going to benefit.” Financial and emotional support for First Responders has fallen through the cracks. “Everything else can be done in a more timely fashion but these people

need to be dealt with now.” These volun-teers have had 200+ calls this year, often in the middle of the night, dealt with trag-edies and then went home and tried not to wake up their families. For this, they receive a small gas stipend. Sorrento does not need to have a sewer system to grow; developments just need something that conforms to Interior Health septic rules. With the geographic complexities, hills and turns, a sewer system would have to be pressurized. Homeowners would need double valve pump stations to stop backups into their homes. The need to destroy driveways and landscaping and the financial cost to individual home owners is too high. There is a less financially intrusive way to deal with monitoring Shuswap Lake water quality, he said. One possi-bility is to put money into setting up a course at a college or university so the issue could be dealt with by students and professors in a non-political, arms-length academic way. It would cost less than the million dollars plus that has been spent.

Submitted by Larissa Lutjen, I am running for School Board trustee on November 15. I spent my entire ele-mentary career at North Shuswap Elemen-tary, eventually earning a BA from the University College of the Cariboo (now TRU) and an MA from the University of Victoria. Since moving back to the North Shuswap I have been a stay-at-home mom and serial volunteer. I have served on the boards of the North and South Shus-wap Community Re-sources Association; the North Shuswap PAC; the local branch of the Stephen Lewis Foundation's Grandmothers for Grandmothers campaign; the Celista Hall Farmers' Market Society; and the North Shuswap Community Association.

At school, I have been the Volunteer Coordinator of the One to One Reading program for the last three years. I have two kids who currently attend NSE. In addition, I contributed a parenting column

to the Kicker for several years and currently publish articles on a variety of topics in the Fire Starter. As the only lo-cal candidate, I feel local representation at the board level is crucial. The priori-ties and concerns of our area are very different from those

of parents and students living in town. As a trustee, I hope to be an advocate for pub-lic education and support excellent pro-grams in our district, such as Literacy In-tervention Teachers and Me to We.

Area 4, North Shuswap

Those elected will serve a four year term commencing Decem-ber 2014 and ending November 2018. Voting will take place on Saturday, November 15 be-tween 8 am and 8 pm at the Village of Chase Community Hall, 547 Shuswap Avenue.

By Pat Robertson In this issue of the Kicker (page 34) you will see a large advertisement encouraging you to schedule your appointments with the new doctor in Scotch Creek. Dr. Mike Figurski is available for appointments on Friday mornings via computer link with his office near Ke-lowna. He loves our clinic and spent a week here seeing pa-tients in person but he is not prepared to move here as his family is settled in Big White. So he has offered us the next best thing. This type of doctor’s appointment works very well for people who need to renew prescriptions, get referrals, dis-cuss test results or just have a question only a doctor can an-swer. It does not work for full physical examinations or emer-gency care. To make an ap-pointment you call the same number you have always used 250-955-0660 and leave a mes-sage. You will receive a call back within a day or two for an appointment date and time.

Every Friday you can still get your blood tests done and once a month you can see the foot care nurse. I just had an appointment myself with Deb Lewis our Nurse Practitioner. She is terrific – it takes a little while to get an appointment but we hope it will get easier now that Chase has more physicians. A nurse practitioner is a good alternative to a family practice physician for many people. Your NS Health Centre Society is very busy keeping health care in the North Shus-wap. It is discouraging that we have not been successful at physician recruitment but it takes time and we are not giv-ing up. In the meantime, if you need a family practice physi-cian and you have not asked to transfer your records to a doc-tor in Chase or Salmon Arm or Kamloops I do encourage you to do that. Electronic medical records are not as simple or user friendly as you would think. You do not need to have



First Responders Submitted by: Karen Boulter Do you own a wheelchair you no longer need? Are you willing to donate to the First Responders Society? We are looking for a wheelchair with leg rests that will extend for-ward, allowing users to keep their leg/legs in a horizontal position. If you require any home care equipment, such as walkers, canes, crutches, show-er chairs, or the like, please call Jim Perry @ 250-955-0839. These items are supplied, free of charge, for six months at a time, through our First Re-sponders Society. Please consider coming to the Christmas Craft Sale on Saturday November 8th at the North Shuswap Community Hall in Celista. First Respond-er Society members will be in attendance from 9 am to 2 pm. We would be happy to meet you. While there you can even place your order for a reflective address sign. The signs are only $30 and are invaluable when emergency vehicles are trying to locate your residence in a crisis. We are eternally grateful to all residents who have bought and mounted their address signs, making it so much easier for us to find you, especially in the dark of night. If you are unable to make it to the craft fair, you may still pur-chase a sign by contacting Barb Overland @ 250-955-0725. If you would like to join our First Responders Society,

please contact Catherine McCrea @ 250-955-0682 to see how you can make a differ-ence in your community. We are still looking for someone to fill the newly vacant secretarial position. We encourage you to give us a call and get involved. If you would like to be-come a First Responder to help out in emergency situations, please contact Andrea Carter @ 250-679-7746 to find out about our training process and how to join this very cohesive, enthusi-astic and supportive group of volunteers. We are always looking for new Responders and need people living in each of our communities – Lee Creek, Scotch Creek, Celista, Magna Bay, Anglemont and St Ives. Consider attending our AGM, if you are interested in learning more about how the organization works. It will be held the first Thursday of next month, December 4th at 7:00 pm. Find us upstairs in the Celista Fire Hall, located at 5271 Line 17 Rd. As winter approaches, please take extra precautions while driving and walking. Historically, many of our emer-gency calls over the coming months have been a direct re-sult of icy roads and freezing temperatures. Please take the few additional minutes required to keep yourself safe, warm and dry, and injury free. Together, “We Make A Difference.”

an appointment for anything to make the decision where you will go for medical care and the sooner you do it the better. Eventually records from Scotch Creek will be reverted to storage mode with the medi-cal records company and it will be more difficult to access. If you really don’t want to make up your mind right now then you can leave a message with the clinic to make a copy of

your records to have so you can take it to your new doctor when you do decide. Thank you for all your support – it does make our job easier. If any of you would like to help this busy group please let us know – the effort is re-warding and you will be with an amazing group of North Shuswappers – what more can I say.



Celista Coffee House By Lena Whittaker It's 7:30pm, the third Fri-day of the month, and as al-ways in perfect rhythm, is the applause, as Judy Weller wel-comes all to the Celista Hall evening, "Coffee House Per-formance". With a list of the night's Artists in hand, Judy's spontaneous and keen sense of humor grants her the ability to evoke the best kind of laughter to fill the room. The evening begins as the laughter rises to meet the lights danc-ing on the ceiling. And, as your gaze settles down upon the crowd, you find yourself sur-rounded by friendly smiling faces. Each performer is introduced with honest admiration for their bravery, and willingness to share their talents. A respectful silence comes over the audi-ence while they settle in to listen intently as each artist takes their turn on the stage. Each one of them, having their own unique style, having their own story to tell, tell it well with genuine enthusiasm, to the delight of the crowd before them. With true sincerity on the faces of each performer, they play and sing the songs

they love, as told by the acceptance and applause, from the people, who are indeed blessed, by the evening's enter-tainers. Truth be told, if the talents which surround these Shuswap Shores could be seen in colour, it would be as though looking through a prism and seeing, a wonderful display of beautiful, colourful, light. Now, a person could say

that volunteers help make the world go 'round. This is proven to be so in this little corner of our world, known as the Shus-wap Shores. Some

things in this world only exist because of the many, strong, helping hands of the volun-teers. Such is the way of the Community of Coffee Houses, which stretches from the North Shore to the South and every-where in between. Mark your calendars; the next Coffee House in Celista is Friday, November, 21. Doors open at 7:00pm and the music starts at 7:30pm. Our November feature is Jane and Larry Stephenson .

Rise and Shine Breakfast: Sadly, our October breakfast was cancelled with no volun-teers available to organize it. However, our November 8 breakfast has volunteers poised and ready to serve a hearty breakfast of French Toast and all the trimmings. Our sponsor Cory Sharp of Advantage Roofing has done many roofs in the North Shuswap and is looking forward to sponsoring breakfast as a payback to the community. Thanks to Fay Begin who stepped up to coor-dinate this breakfast and to vol-unteers Shirley Fricker, Mar-guerite Heichert, Sheena Miller, Val Donovan, Donna Dancy and Lucille Wood. Breakfasts run the second Saturday of eve-ry month from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. Denim and Diamonds! Mur-der at the Deadwood Saloon Mystery: Our quirky cast of characters played to a sold out house September 27, with 146 tickets sold and 52 on a waiting list. Fay Begin realistically dec-orated the hall; you could al-most smell the sage brush. Lynn Bryan and Donna Dancy added special touches to the tables with denim table runners, napkin holders and “diamond” studded denim vases. The team of Donna Dancy, Emma Foley and Lorrie Schrader cooked up a storm providing a tasty meal. And yes, all those bread sticks were homemade by Donna! Joe and Shirley kept busy in the beverage room serving up sar-saparillas don’t you know? The cast tried to befuddle the audi-ence but in the end the Super Sleuthing Award went to Gerry Shea for getting all the compo-nents right. Coming in second was Laurie Wardly. Both re-ceived a beautiful gift of wine

from the sponsor Celista Estate Winery. Drama Queen Award went to Jude Bastien for her outstanding portrayal of Mar-shall Dalton. The dressed to kill award went to Judy Weller for her Sally Star dance hall girl persona – she had way too much fun. Thanks to Celista Estate Winery for their won-derful support and to a great team of actors and committee volunteers. Above and Beyond ….. Ger-main and Fay Begin deserve a huge tip of the Lakeview Stet-son for their hard work on Mur-der Mystery evening. Germain produced the show and worked for weeks writing the script. Fay did the programs, all the decorating and costume coordi-nating and then acted in the play as a last minute replace-ment! We don’t call her the Energizer Bunny for nothing! Thank you to Director Judy Weller and to all those for help-ing out when needed. What can we say about Donna Dancy – she makes us look good! Thanks to all the actors and to Ralph Bischoff for lending sev-eral items of horse gear for dec-orations. (see more thanks on pg 29) Remembrance Day Service – November 11, 2014: Lest we Forget.

MASK-A-RAVE PARTY: A small but enthusiastic group donned masks and a few wore costumes to the Mask-A-Rave Party on October 25. The com-mittee did a fine job of decorat-ing in fall and Halloween col-ours. After a dinner of beef stew and biscuits to die for, a vast array of pot luck salads and desserts, it was time for enter-tainment. The BG’s sang Shine on Harvest Moon followed by The Winkie Winkerman Show, a take on an old fashioned radio broadcast complete with com-mercial spots such as Brylcreme and Doublemint Gum. It brought back memories to many in the audience. Great job of writing the script Bev. Then it was on to dancing. Mask Prizes went to: Lucille Wood for the best handmade mask (single). She crocheted her own mask – very crafty. Best Couple hand-made masks went to Tessie and Marv Vindig and Louie Trentin

Thanks to a great committee: Bev and Gerry Shea, Liz Smith, Norma Bischoff, Alison Elmes, Nadine Collier, Steve and Linda Brasier, Darla Wilkinson, Bev Brown and Sheena Miller. Farewell: Sadly we have to say good-bye and best wishes to some members who are moving away. Al and Pat Gomez have been enthusiastic members of the centre for many years. Al and Mary Gowen have moved to Abbotsford. Many of our visitors will miss being greeted by Al’s cheery wave – he was parking attendant extraordi-naire. Mary served on numer-ous committees and was always happy to help or take a picture or two. Jack and Claudette Carl-sen are moving to Chase. We will sure miss them. They both worked very hard and were involved with countless com-mittees and could be counted on to help with everything and anything. Best of luck to all.

There is absolutely no way to express my families gratitude for all of the genuine love and support we have received in the last few years. We have been so honored to have had you all share in our journey. The laughter, compassion, hugs and tears will never be forgotten!

Much Love and Many Hugs: Barney Bischoffs Family

We would like to thank everyone for their loving support at a very difficult time. Especially our church family at St. David's By The Lake for being there and showing such love; our priest, Brian Smith for comfort and council; for all the help and caring of everyone at Lakeview Center, and for all the cards with such heartfelt wishes. You all have made this time of grief easier, this is a wonderful community to belong to.

Family of Maggie Bolton. On behalf of the Anglemont Estates Men’s Golf Club, I sincerely apologize to two of our local business’ - Anglemont Marina and Scotch Creek Home Hardware, for the omission to recognize their very important sponsorship of our Club and the many other Community Activities throughout the year. Again a very large heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our sponsors.

Kickin’ Computer Tips

Netflix John Seymour Lakeside Technical Solutions Most people by now know about or have heard about Netflix. Netflix is an Internet video streaming ser-vice that was created in the United States back in 1997. For a monthly fee, US custom-ers could choose from a selec-tion of TV shows and movies to view over their Internet connection. In 2010, Netflix was offered to customers in Canada as well and today, there are about 50 million Net-flix subscribers in over 40 countries. In the beginning, the only way to enjoy Netflix was on your computer. Back then, there were very few options if any for viewing on the big screen. That has all changed of course. Now Netflix can be watched on your TV through a variety of devices that also connect to the Internet. For example, all of the major vid-eo game systems such as Xbox, Sony Playstation and Nintendo Wii now support Netflix streaming. If you don’t have a game system, there are several media players on the market that will also do the job. Apple TV, Western Digi-tal Live Media Player, Roku3 and Chromecast are but a few of the many media streaming devices currently available. These devices have connec-tions for virtually any TV and will connect to the Internet to access not only Netflix, but many other Internet services as well. If you have recently pur-chased a new TV, it is very likely to be a “smart” TV which basically means that it has a media player built in.

These TV’s will have some means to con-nect to the Internet, through either a wired or wireless con-nection, and therefore can access Netflix directly. Over the years, the con-tent and features available through Netflix has greatly improved. Today, there are literally thousands of TV shows and movies to choose from. All are commercial-free and can be stopped, paused and restarted at will. Another nice feature is User Profiles launched in 2013. Netflix al-lows up to five individual us-ers per account subscription

and each user can have their own ‘profile’. This makes

it easy to save your spot when there are multiple people shar-ing one Netflix account. It goes without saying of course that you will need an Internet service in order to subscribe to Netflix. Stream-ing video uses a great deal of bandwidth and so it’s im-portant to have the proper In-ternet connection before sub-scribing. Mobile Internet from your cell phone carrier is not a good choice as they are usage based Internet services. Streaming video would take you over your monthly limit in very short order and the addi-tional usage charges could be shocking. If you have a cable or satellite Internet service, then you should have no prob-lem streaming Netflix video. Always wise to check with your service provider before-hand just to make sure you are setup properly. If you have any questions or need help getting hooked up, feel free to call or email.

By Jan Penner My monthly conversation with Heather Allison was greatly enjoyed. I am always amazed at this lady's commitment to her family, friends and community. While dealing with her own health issues, she still finds time to be there for others, offering support and encouragement whether they are themselves sick, or just in need of assistance. Heather says that while there is no bad news to share, there is no good news either. Lack of energy has been plaguing her of late, as her heart seems to be acting up. She brought the month of October to a close undergoing a battery of test to assess her health status. November promises to be a busy month for Heather as preparations begin for the Christmas Hampers. She is once again involved with the committee that organizes and prepares the distribution of food and gifts for those in our community who are in need. She is looking forward to talking with donators and beneficiaries, helping to coordinate the event with other volunteers. Heather does not complain or lament her health. She stays positive and finished our conversation by asking me how my month has been going. She shows a genu-ine interest in the people around her. I feel that while I cannot claim to be a friend, I am a valued acquaintance. Thank-you Heather for making my day and thanks for the inspiration!

Better At Home Program will be at the Centre every sec-ond Tuesday afternoon to meet those who require assistance.

Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre


By Kelly Christian, Owner We all need to keep as many of our tax dollars as pos-sible. Take a look at the ex-cerpt below taken from the Government of BC website to see if you qualify. The B.C. seniors home renovation tax credit assists individuals 65 and over with the cost of certain permanent home renovations to improve accessibility or help a senior be more functional or mobile at home. The program started April 1, 2012 so your renovation expenses must happen on or after this date. You’re eligible to claim the credit for the year if on the last day of the tax year you are a resident of B.C., and a senior or a family member living with a senior. The renovation must be to your principal residence, which is the home you primarily live in. The credit can be shared between eligible residents of the home to a maximum amount of the credit meaning that you and your spouse can both make a claim if you have expenses of more than the $10,000 threshold. The maximum amount of the credit is $1,000 per tax year and is calculated as 10% of the qualifying renovation expense (maximum $10,000 in expens-es). The credit is a refundable tax credit, which means if the credit is higher than the taxes you owe, you’ll receive the difference as a refund.

What type of renovations qualify for the Tax Credit?

The renovation or altera-tion must help a senior with an impairment by: - improving access to the home or land, - improving mobility and func-tions within the home or land,

or - reducing the risk of harm within the home or land.

Examples of qualifying renovations or alterations:

Bathtubs – walk-in Counters/cupboards – lower-ing existing, installing adjust-able

Door locks that are easy to operate

Doors that are widened for passage including swing clear hinges

Drawers and cupboards – touch-and-release

Flooring – non-slip or to al-low the use of walkers

General renovation costs – necessary to enable access for seniors to first-floor or sec-ondary suites

Grab bars and related rein-forcements around the toilet, tub and shower

Hand-held showers on adjust-able rods or high-low mount-ing brackets

Hand rails in corridors Lever handles on doors and taps, instead of knobs

Light fixtures throughout the home and exterior entrances

Light switches and electrical outlets placed in accessible locations

Lighting – motion-activated Pull-out shelves under counter to enable work from a seated position

Showers – wheel-in Sinks – alterations to allow use from a seated position

Taps – hands-free or reloca-tion

Toilets – raised Wheelchair ramps, stair/wheelchair lifts and elevators

Did you know? The B.C. Seniors' Home Renovation Tax Credit can save you money at tax time?


By Jan Penner Last month’s item was a stereoscope, sometimes called a stereopticon or stereo viewer. This device was used to create 3-D images, allowing the view-er to experience visual repre-sentations in a more realistic way than had previously been possible. It was correctly iden-tified by M. Ayling from Salmon Arm who will be receiving the $20 prize. Human vision is binocular, taking an image from each eye, which are transmitted separately to the brain. The brain combines the two images, creating a three-dimensional result. The stereo-scope process imi-tates this process. Inventor Charles Wheat-stone gave us the stereoscope in 1838. Intended as a means to bring realism to 2-D im-ages, two images - whether drawings or photographs - were placed in the "box-like" container, with a distance be-tween them resembling that between ones' eyes. By look-ing through the lenses, the im-age was presented to the brain and processed as though the

object or scene was directly in front of the viewer. The stereo-scope became a form of social entertainment, passed around parlors as family and friends enjoyed travels around the world from the comfort of the settee or wing-backed chair. While most familiar for its entertainment value, the stereo-scope also had more practical

uses. Oliver Wen-dell Holmes, a his-toric figure who proved knowledge-able about many things, updated the original Wheatstone

design in an effort to shows the sys-tem's benefits to the medical pro-fession. With the in-vention of moving pictures, the popu-larity of the stere-oscope fell off, but the ingenuity of mimicking 3-D was not lost. Many of us were the proud owners of Viewmasters in the 60's and 70's and IMAX and 3-

D movies continue to gain pop-ularity, proving that everything old really can be new again. Correctly guess this month’s item by November 21st and you will be entered into our draw to win $20!

Submitted by Chase Country Christmas Committee With snowflakes and a touch of Christmas magic in the air, Chase Country Christmas will welcome the holiday sea-son on Dec 5, 6 and 7, 2014. Downtown street closures begin at 4:30 on Friday, Dec 5th to set the stage for our Annual Evening Parade at 5:30 pm. Many vendors will line the streets selling yummy treats and it is a great op-portunity to check out all the specials in our local businesses. You can also keep warm and watch the festivities from around the bonfire in our “pocket park” between The Flower Girls and Pete’s Piz-za. After the parade, with a donation to a local youth group, Pete Murray will take you on a traditional hayride or you can stay to watch the Chase Heat Junior B Hockey team and Chase Minor Hockey players encourage the crowds to join them in good old fashioned games of street hockey. New this year will be our Children’s Christmas Store located next to Chase Jewellers. This store will be open Friday night and Saturday. For a very nominal price, our Elves will help your child pick out a gift for their family and wrap them too. All profits from this store will go to a local charity. On Saturday, join Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Lions Pancake breakfast while waiting for the Craft and Vendor

Fairs to open their doors located upstairs in the Community Hall, in the Legion basement and across the street at Creekside. Between these three you can come away with many delicious baked goodies, homemade crafts and much of your Christmas shopping. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be at Safe-ty Mart after the pancake breakfast for a story time with the children and again later in the afternoon for picture time. The Chase Heat Junior B Hockey Team will be on the ice for the “Free” skating event Sat. at 12:15 to 1:15 and you may even come away with some au-tographs. The Chase Heat will also be on the ice Saturday evening to face the Kelowna Chiefs. Game time is 7 pm at the Art Holding Memorial Arena. There will be on-ice entertainment between periods. They will also be accepting food for the Chase Food Hamper as well as donations of gently used winter clothing and boots which will be distributed locally. Who knows, maybe even Santa and Mrs. Claus will pop in for a visit too. On Sunday you can top off your weekend with a little music by the Kam-loops Community Band and our local high school band at the Community Hall. A schedule of events will be available at a later date. It is a fun filled weekend so come out and join in all the festivities.

Puzzled by Carbon Neutrality Claims

In reading the October edition of The North Shuswap Kicker I read the article on page 20 regarding CSRD Achieves Carbon Neutrality and am puzzled by these claims. Please explain how the "purchasing and selling" of Carbon credits from any or-ganization reduces the amount of Carbon emissions ? Would anyone care to explain how this works and then to see the new giant CSRD complex being con-structed along the Lake shore in Salmon Arm is even more puzzling? This government jugger-naut (CSRD) appears to be growing every year and how has this new (probably state of the art building?) contribut-ed toward "Carbon Neutrali-ty" not to mention the burden

placed on tax payers in the area ..... did the CSRD "need" this new facility? This is not intended as a jab at the CSRD, but it has left me with questions regard-ing this ever growing tax pay-er funded entity. I do miss Ron Adams weekly reports and articles (Mallarky Column) from an-other Salmon Arm paper as Ron always made these or-ganizations squirm just a bit when he wrote article's about the amount of government involvement in our lives and the spending of "our" money. With civic elections upon us I would encourage everyone to know the issues and choose your candidates wisely.

Letters to the Editor



On the morning of Oct 27 around 7:15am, I was driv-ing to work from Anglemont along the Squilax/Anglemont road. I was just going over Frost Bridge close to Talana Bay, near Scotch Creek, only to discover that the bridge was completely covered in ice and frost. With no sand on the bridge, or sand truck in sight, you can guess what happened next. The back end of my truck started coming around. I tried to correct the direction I was heading but to no avail. The truck swerved up over the concrete barrier, through a sign, went off the road, and came to a stop. After calling for First Responders and the RCMP I sat in the truck try-ing to understand what just happened. I have brand new snow tires and 40 years with-out an accident. I would like to tell you that the story ended at that point but it did not. I watched a truck and trailer sliding sideways on the bridge, then car after car doing the same thing. Now as I was looking up the hill I was horrified to see the school bus heading for the bridge. That would be the point when I started to get mad. Will someone have to die first before something is done? Who is responsible for road safety? We all have to do our due diligence in checking our tires, scraping the windshield, adjusting our driving habits to the condi-tions and most of all wearing

our seat belts. I did all those things. So who is at fault? Is it the road maintenance com-pany, JPW? Did they do there due diligence? Is it the High-ways Department? Could a nonskid coating improve trac-tion on our wooden bridges? Is it our local politicians that need to step up? So you think the story ends there? No, after taking some photos of the bridge and my truck, the attending RCMP officer gave me a stern talking to about how I should drive my truck on icy bridges. He ended his report by giving me a ticket: "Failing to keep right of dou-ble solid line" $109.00. It is difficult to keep right on a double line if no line exists and downright impossible to stay in any lane if your vehi-cle has slid off in an unin-tended direction because of ice on the bridge. So I ask you once again, who is at fault? Who is go-ing to step up and take re-sponsible for road and bridge safety? Is this problem a lack of bridge sanding or is the bigger problem with the bridge decks? Do all the wooden bridges in our area have this problem? I plan on getting to the bottom of this before someone dies. If you have something to say about this, it is time to speak out.

Jim Leduc

Will someone have to die first before something is done?

Concerning the farce being perpetrated by the Salmon Society. I can not believe they have the audacity to charge an entrance fee to a Provincial Park. Surely they are aware that since the last

Provincial Election all day use fees were abolished. I know they are saying this is a spe-cial event, but it is not an event they have created, ra-ther it is a wonder of nature

and for the Society to try and capitalize on it is in my opin-ion criminal. Yes they have food booths and souvenir booths, but the general public should not have to subsidize operations that are already moneymakers. If the Society wish to charge an entry fee, maybe it should be to these operations. The Society might feel they are doing a good thing

but in reality all they are do-ing is ensuring that a lot of people will not return to wit-ness this natural event in the future. In parting I would like to know when and how the spectacular Adams River Salmon Run became a com-mercial opera-tion.

I have had a seasonal property In North Shuswap for many years, (Lucerne Beach) It is always our policy to obtain and read the latest “Kicker” as soon as we ar-rived! The straight and honest re-porting of events as they were, is indeed refreshing. The type of reporting we now get in the newsprint is often slanted and incomplete, (depending of course of the

writers political leanings) The Kicker prints things as they are presented by the correspondents, it seems no editing, editorial opinion, no personal politics! I read every issue over the internet, and look forward to it!

Thank you again.

Stan Woodcock.

I became a Lion a year ago. It’s been a great experi-ence – the satisfaction of con-tributing to the community and having a lot of fun in the process. We’re embarking on a membership recruiting drive to enable us to continue the good work and undertake new projects. New members will provide new perspectives and

new ideas. We’re a very amia-ble group of men and women who will make you incredibly welcome. Lions have more fun! For more information see ad on page 28 of this issue of the Kicker.

Hi Everybody. Wel-come to November. We’ve had our first hard frost and it looks like a bit of snow up on Riley Mountain, but by the time you read this, the weather will probably be back to warmish fall temperatures. According to long time residents, it’s six weeks from the time you see the first snow on top of the mountain to the first snow on the ground and then the third snowfall is the one that stays. With all the changes we see in the climate now, it will be in-teresting to see how this rule of the thumb holds up. It’s nice to see that dancing has returned to the Hall. Zumba and Nia are both dance exercises. Zumba is a Latin American style of dance and aerobic exercise using contempo-rary dance music to get participants moving. Nia is a more ritualized, non im-pact, exercise that fuses martial arts and dance tech-niques. I am excited to see that kid’s Hip Hop classes are continuing for the month of November. So if you missed out on Octo-ber’s classes, get down and...get down, if you know what I mean. Kids

need this kind of thing, and if your child is moving around too much for you to handle, send them down to Hip Hop class to hip and hop to their heart’s content. The Craft and Coffee Guild is holding its annual craft fair on Saturday No-vember 8th from 9:00 a.m. till 2:00 p.m. Get stocked up on all your favourite local foods, crafts and gifts. Always a favourite; don't miss out. The Celista Hall Farm-ers Market will be holding a winter sale on December the 6th from 10:00 a.m. till 2:00 p.m. If you enjoyed the summer market, or were unable to make it, now is your time to get in on the action. There will be children's activities, lunch and carol singing, so it promises to be an event to mark on the calendar. No need to go to town to do your shopping be-cause the locals have it all at your fingertips and what says “Christmas” like a gift handmade by someone you probably know. The NSCA is holding its monthly meeting as al-ways on the third Tues-day of the month. All are welcome.


Lions Club News

By Jim Perry The first 2 months of our new operational year have been very busy with the completion of another annual yard sale and then two formal dinners in hon-or of our Zone Chairman Nor-ma Bent and District 19D Gov-ernor Frank Karas. The District Governor on behalf of Lions International Club President Joe Preston bestowed the Mile-stone Chevron Award upon our own Lion Al Christopherson for 15 years of continuous ser-vice. The month of November sees us deeply involved in a new member recruitment pro-ject (see page 28 for advertise-ment) for anyone who is inter-ested in joining our very con-

genial group to assist with the various Local Community, Na-tional, and International pro-jects which we participate in throughout our year. If you don’t help make your commu-nity stronger and more beauti-ful then you really don’t have the right to complain. We look forward to an exchange of ideas between yourselves and our members on November 20 at 7 P.M. at the Club Room of the Celista Community Hall. Please contact any one of the names listed in the advertise-ment to let us know if you are intending to attend. We, also continue our nor-mal every Saturday afternoon Meat Draw & 50/50 at the Scotch Creek Copper Island Pub.

Parkside Community Service Program Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, is a degenerative joint disease. It is caused by wear-and-tear. And it is also a frequent source of hip problems for people over 50 years of age. Over one’s lifetime, the cartilage in the hip can break down, allowing the bones to rub together. The result is swelling, pain and limits on

motion. As erosion progresses, the friction can cause the joint to lose its normal shape, magnifying the problem. Osteo-phytes (bone spurs) may also build up on the edge of the joint. Sometimes these growths snap off. The pieces float in the joint, adding to the pain and damage. In addition to the hips, osteoarthritis can affect other joints, too. (The most com-

monly afflicted are the knees, hands and spine.) The disease is non-reversible. However, it is treatable. When caught ear-ly, there are simple things you can do to avoid pain and slow down the disease. Without one definitive test, doctors combine clinical history, x-rays, physical exams and blood tests to diagnose osteoar-thritis and rule out other conditions.

Symptoms Genetic history, obesity and injuries that stress the joint are risk factors for os-teoarthritis of the hip. Here are some common symptoms of the disease: Stiffness, especially apparent when get-

ting out of bed and after sitting a long time.

Limitations in the range of motion that affect a person’s moving and bending. Internal rotation is commonly the first motion that is limited or restricted.

Pain during weight-bearing activities. As the illness progresses, the victim may start to experience some pain when at rest or asleep. Eventually, the pain can become constant.

Pain may be experienced in the groin area and/or knee. This pain can be the victim’s primary complaint.

The sound and/or crunching feeling of bone rubbing against bone. Walking with a limp.

Treatments Here are some common options for dealing with an osteoarthritic hip. As the disease progresses, pain medications, anti-inflammatory drugs or a total hip replace-ment may become necessary. Please talk to your doctor for guidance.) Activity modification - Listen to your body and learn from experience. Slow down or stop activities before they start to hurt. Rest and sleep - Plan to prevent overuse of the joint and recover from exertions. Weight loss - The loss of weight reduces the stress on load-bearing joints, such as the hip. Proper exercise - This improves flexibility, mood, blood flow and general health, while maintaining or decreasing weight. Aquatic exercises take the pressure off the hips. Physical therapy - Heat, ice, whirlpool, stretching and/or strengthening may be appropriate.

Visiting Vegas James Gjaltema, Flight Centre Associate In October I had the opportunity to go on a travel agent’s trip to Las Vegas. As I flew over the desert, I saw the impressive Red Rock canyon just before the sprawling sin city. Las Vegas is Spanish for the meadows. As we descended for landing I did-n’t see any meadows, but did recognize many iconic landmarks on the strip. Everything seemed so close, like you could reach out and touch it from the airport. From Mandalay Bay on the south end to Stratosphere on the north side, it had the appear-ance that you could easily walk from one end to the other, casu-ally strolling through places like Luxor, New York, Paris and Venice. I took a shuttle to my hotel from the airport for $7.50 if I had someone to share a ride with I would have taken a taxi for about $15. I experienced firsthand what I had al-ready known – the resorts are massive, and walking takes longer than you think. Our group was shuttled from property to proper-ty and we still managed to walk about 10km a day just touring rooms and amenities within the resorts. There are lots of ways to

get around in Ve-gas, a monorail runs along the east side of the strip from MGM grand up to Westgate by the convention cen-ter, a 3-day pass is about $30. There are some free trams on the West side of the strip. One con-nects Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur, another connects Aria, Monte Carlo and Bellagio, and yet another connects

the Mirage and Treasure Island. “The Deuce” is a double decker bus service that runs up and down the strip. You can buy a 24-hour pass for $8. I had the opportunity to view some classic properties like the Riviera (where I got to see Frank Sinatra’s suite) and the downtown Golden Nugget (where they have a waterslide that goes through a shark tank) Vegas is synonymous with entertainment, there is no short-age of ways to spend money on amusement. Aside from the ob-vious gambling options, you can partake in so many activities

from eating gourmet burgers to Broadway shows (I saw Wicked and the Million Dol-lar Quartet and ate some incredible burg-ers). There are thrill rides & zip-lines, ex-otic car driving experiences, and shooting ranges (I got to shoot a machine gun at a

zombie target). “High Roller”, the world’s largest Ferris wheel opened this year, it costs $25 during the day and $35 at night and offers amazing views. Venturing outside of the city, you can visit the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon or cruise on Lake Meade. Once back in the city, why not take a romantic champagne heli-copter flight over the strip at night? Of course your trip wouldn’t be complete until you got mar-ried by Elvis at the Graceland Wedding Chapel ($400 package includes limo ride, professional photographs. Elvis walks the bride down the aisle, sings 3 songs and performs the ceremony). WestJet has direct flights from Kelowna on Thursdays and

Sundays. A 4-night package staying at Mandalay Bay Nov 23-27 is $563.

Kamloops has flight options connecting through Vancouver or Calgary. A 4-night package staying at Luxor Nov 24-28 is $484.

Bellingham airport offers lots of direct flights with Allegiant and Alaska airlines. A 4-night package staying at the Venetian Nov 16-20 is $396 USD.

By Jenn Szabo In the process of creating a comfortable and cozy home yoga studio, I wanted to give the space positive energy be-fore I opened the doors to the community. The decor was calming and simple, and I wanted clients to feel an in-stant comfort as they entered the large empty room. In my experience, rooms that are used for meditation carry a very fresh and clean feeling, so I decided to meditate in the space, with the intention of filling the space with the lov-ing feeling of being wrapped in a soft warm blanket. During the meditation I received an intuitive feeling that I should smudge the studio with sage and sweet grass, as I had seen other healing practitioners do. I knew that smudging is an ancient spiritual purification practice, but I didn't under-stand what physical benefits smudging offers from a scien-tific standpoint, so I dug into some research on the matter and found some scientifically backed benefits of smudging. The reason smudging offers physical health benefits

is due to the negative ions created when certain herbs are burned. A molecule which loses an electron is positively charged and a molecule which attracts an electron is nega-tively charged. In a negative ion rich atmosphere, one will feel happy, invigorated and less tired. These great benefits occur because the brain chem-icals serotonin and melatonin are automatically increased. Negative ion environments will also promote deeper, more satisfying sleep, which is why we experience very ful-filling sleep by the sea; anoth-er area full of negatively charged ions. You will also feel the impact of these mole-cules in areas near waterfalls and streams where water is moving quickly. There are plenty of resources on line that teach how to smudge using plants for spiritual or physical purposes, so research and give it a try if you would like to feel happy, well rested, and energetic and refreshed.

Naturalist News By Claudette Carlsen The deed is done and Jack and I will be moving to Chase this month. I will miss my friends here but we are not too far away and most people come into Chase every month. As for the Christmas Bird Count, I will have to see if we have enough people left to cover this area. I did hear the Northern Pigmy Owl last month and saw two Ruffed Grouse in my trees. Lee Creek is having an influx of bears this year – and there are a lot of deer.

A friend just came back from a goose hunting trip to Saskatchewan and he was tell-ing me about the many animals he saw there – 15 elk, moose, deer, a badger and a large black bear, all within a ten mile radius of Hillmont, Sask. He tells me that when he was a child there, they only saw deer and the odd badger, now these other species have moved in. Interesting!! There will be no meeting in November as the second Tuesday is Remembrance Day

Thanks to all who have shopped,

visited, and made contributions Please, no more donations

until next spring!

By Jan Penner As October drew to an end, extracur-ricular activities came on line for the year. Wrestling, Bugs R Us and Kidz Klub have all begun. Thanks to Mr. Ellis, Carlos Ruiz, Mrs. Delisle and volunteers from the North Shuswap Christian Fellowship for sponsoring and organizing these wonderful after school activities. Division 1's first Bottle Drive of the year, held October 19th brought in approx-imately $1500. A huge thanks to everyone who donated and to Doug and staff at Scotch Creek Bottle Depot for another successful event. A thank-you also goes out to Shirley Fricker and the vacationers and owners of Anglemont Terrace. Shirley collected re-fundable recycling through the summer of 2014 and on behalf of her neighbours, made a donation of just over $150 to North Shuswap Elementary. Your generosity is much appreciated! Hot Lunch and the Breakfast Program are underway. Thanks to SuperValu, North Shuswap Lions, North Shuswap Elementary PAC, and parent and student volunteers for making these programs pos-sible.

Our grade 7 students made the trek to Vancouver for the Me to We presentation on the 22nd. The six girls and 2 adults enjoyed the speakers and performers. They came back ready to take leadership roles for events such as Toonie Tuesday, which raised money for projects in Africa and here in the community and surround-ing area. Check here next month for totals raised and project proposals. North Shuswap's Christmas Concert will take place on December 17th. Com-munity members are invited to attend our performance, which will take place in the afternoon. Times for dress rehearsal and the concert will be announced in the De-cember Kicker. Finally, please note that the election for the School Trustee position for the North Shuswap will be held at North Shus-wap Elementary from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and at the Seymour Arm Hall, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, November 15th. Please be sure to vote! CORRECTION: Last month Doug Kilback from Scotch Creek Bottle Depot was incorrect-ly referred to as Ron. Sorry about that Doug!

Bugs R Us

By Madison Lagore, Valena Dalby (Grades 3 and 2) We had a fun time at Roderick Haig-Brown Park for our first Bugs R Us meet-ing of the year. We saw Jeremy, interpreter for the Adams River Salmon Society, cut open a salmon and we got to see its heart. We looked for lungs (there weren’t any). Their brains aren’t very big because they don’t live very long and they don’t have to do much thinking. We saw and felt that their teeth are very sharp. We also got to feel the eggs after Jeremy squeezed them out of the fish. It was very interesting. We explored the Park. We saw the river filled with Salmon. We saw two salmon fighting. Valena found the “L” from the scavenger hunt but she couldn’t fine any other letters. Madison found the “M”. If you find all the letters you spell a word and we guess it might be SALMON. We learned lots of expectations for

when you go see the salmon. We should not walk off of the path. Dogs should not be let off of leashes. We should not walk in the water because it can hurt the salmon and their eggs. We also learned not to poke sticks or touch the dead salmon. Thank-you helpers at Roderick Haig-Brown Park. Thanks to our parents for taking us on our field trip and to Lorrie and Mrs. Delisle for organizing us and the trip. P.S. We started with a snack at the cabin at the Park. We had apples brought by Mrs. Delisle and homemade muffins brought by Lorrie. They were yummy and awesome!!! Our next meeting will be November 13 in Mrs. Delisle’s classroom at 2:00 pm. Thanks to Mrs. Delisle for all her work in organizing the outing. Thanks to Blair Acton and Jeremy Heighton of the Salmon Society for the excellent arrangements and tour.

Here we go! We are starting a brand new season of the Bugs R Us – Young Natural-ists Club in Celista School. We have 12 members signed up so far and 7 of those are brand new members to the club! Welcome everyone and we hope you have an enjoyable year with us. - Lorrie Schrader

North Shuswap Christmas

Parade By Al Christopherson Now that we have had our first

frost and the mountain tops have a good dusting

of snow it’s time to think

about your Christmas Parade float. The next month will dis-appear faster than you can imagine. I have had calls from locals commit-

ting to entering the parade so how about you? All it takes is a trailer and a few bales of straw and you have an official parade float? We meet on Kenwood Gate Road in front of the Scotch Creek Rona. The parade leaves at 6 PM sharp on Friday December 12th so be there early. Call me if you have any questions or input please. Al 250-955-2188

By Jo Anne Malpass The Kicker’s 17th Annual Christmas Colouring Contest is just around the corner. The prizes for entries will be handed out at the Lions Club Children's Christmas Party, held on Sun-day, December 14th at the North Shuswap Community Hall. Not only will we have prizes for the winners but we will also be giving out door prizes to all of the Children attending. Last year we gave out over 100 prizes and we ex-pect the same this year. Donations for the Colour-ing Contest are now being gratefully accepted. A donation

can be an actual prize (toy, game, gift certificate, etc.) or a cheque which we at the Kicker will use to purchase prizes and gifts. We would like to ensure that no child goes away without a "gift". We also encourage you to come out to the party, have a hot dog and hot beverage prepared by the Lions club members. Visit Santa and see the excitement that your dona-tion to this annual event brings to the children and the commu-nity. If you wish to participate, please call the Kicker at 250-955-0534, or send us an email to [email protected].

DID YOU KNOW …The Initial or Very First Armistice Day was held at Buckingham Palace commencing with King George V hosting a "Banquet in Honour of the President of the French Republic" during the evening hours of 10 November 1919. The first official Armistice Day was subsequently held on the grounds of Buckingham Palace on the morning of 11 November 1919. This would set the trend for a day of Remembrance for decades to come.

God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be

So he wrapped his arms around you, And whispered, "Come to me"

Barney passed quietly on the farm on June 28, 2014 after his hard fought battle with ALS. Linda, his "bride" of 39 years at his side. Barneys love, infectious humor and profound energy will be greatly

missed by his two sons Charlie (Elisha) and Bruce (Cindy), his three grandchildren Sophia, Colton and Aurora. He is also survived by his brother Gerry (Patty), two sisters Shirley and Debbie and mother-in-law Gail Stewart. And "The Bischoff Clan"

You didn't deserve what you went through So he gave you rest.

God’s farm must be beautiful, He only takes "The Best"

July 5, 2014, was a day of overflowing love, great sadness and disbelief as the Bischoff families and friends paid their respects to Barney Bischoff. He was and always will be a pioneer of the North Shuswap and truly a legend of his time. Tears of love and laughter filled the Hall freely as Dona (Myers) Baker read the Eulogy. Kevin Trotter, Ian Bischoff and Brian Campbell officiated the celebration of life in true Barney style. Ian and his son Ben each sang heartfelt songs. Barney was filled to the brim with love and never ending energy. He wore the many hats that life gave him comfortably. Guaranteed there was never a dull moment when he was around. Barney could wear a person out just listening and watching him. The great outdoors was his playground and he relished and treasured every part of it, from working in the bush and farming, to playing in it fishing, hunting or trapping. He coached and played baseball and hockey. He was the first Bischoff involved in Loggers Sports and still holds the record for the Obstacle Pole.

Thank you for all of the donations made to the ALS Society.

Shuttleworth Richard (Dick) Douglas

Feb 3, 1935 – Oct 10, 2014 Sadly we announce the peaceful passing of Richard Douglas Shuttleworth of Chase BC at the age of 79. Predeceased by his wife Patricia (Pat) and his brother Den. Dick is survived by his sons Garth (Tina), Greg (Debbie) and his granddaughters Emily and Maya. He is also survived by his sister Mickey (Bob) Ostergard of 100 Mile House and many nieces and nephews.

Dick was born in Vernon, BC. The family relocated to Langley BC where he and his father John had a broiler farm. In 1968 Dick and Pat found their place on the North Shuswap to raise their sons and farm pure bred polled Herefords. In recent years Dick could be seen walking his dog Angel through the streets of Chase, raiding Colin’s garden and leaving “doggy bags” in the back of Eddie’s truck. A special thank you to his friends Shirley, Norm and neighbours of the Shuswap Sands Park for their help and kindness. As requested, no service will be held. A small family gathering will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers and cards a donation to a charity of choice would be appreciated. Online condolences may be sent through Dick’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Delores Lillian Marshall Sept 18, 1933 - Oct 22, 2014

The family of Delores Lillian Marshall is sad to announce that Delores passed peacefully on October 20, 2014 at Piccadilly Care Home. De-lores, formerly of Scotch Creek, was born in Glendon, Alberta on September 18, 1933. She is preceded by her husband Norm and leaves two sons, Doug and Colin, and three grandchildren, Karen, Glenn and Chevonne. Delores was very athletic. She won many ribbons in track and field for her school. She bowled, golfed, played softball, volleyball, ice skated, roller skated and enjoyed downhill skiing as well as cross country. She was an excellent student therefore, she was able to skip grade three. The Burnaby School Board hired her when she graduated from grade twelve and she worked there for forty years as a payroll supervisor. Her hobbies were quilting, knitting, crochet-ing and spending time with her grandchildren. Love was always in her eyes. Friends and family will be gathering on No-vember 8, 2014 at the North Shuswap Christian fellowship to celebrate her life.
