Health centre closures spark rally

Chase residents took to the streets July 14, in an ef-fort to protect the future of the Chase Health Care Cen-tre.

Sick of seeing signs on the door saying that services would be closed for yet an-other stretch of days, Val Donnelly decided to orga-nize a day of protest in hope of getting the attention of government.

Donnelly is a Chase resi-dent with a substantial background in health care, including a career as a para-medic and an emergency medical dispatcher. She was responsible for the start-up of the first responders in the North Shuswap, and helped out with the South Shuswap as well. Donnelly also ran for council in the last elec-tion, taking on the health-care platform.

Tuesday’s event was a success in Donnelly’s eyes, with 18 people showing up in the morning and many more dropping by through-out the day.

“It is a weekday; I under-stand many people have to work,” she said.

Donnelly says she re-ceived plenty of feedback from Chase residents throughout the day though.

“The most common con-cern is that they are worried about having no doctors,” she says.

At about 3 p.m. the group of protestors positioned themselves in front of the village office in order to meet the mayor and council as they were heading in for the 4 p.m. council meeting.

Most of the councillors made a quick comment as they entered the building, but neither in favour nor support of the protest.

Mayor Ron Anderson was the only one to ap-proach the group, having a quick word before making his way into the building.

“He asked us what we expected them to do about it and what it was that we thought they did in there,” said Donnelly, clearly un-impressed with his re-sponse.

Coun. Rod Crowe said that even he doesn’t have a doctor in Chase, that he travels to Port Coquitlam to see his doctor.

Ironically, the Chase Health Care Centre was closed during the protest, once again due to a lack of doctors, which Donnelly says is the top health-care concern for the area.

According to Bryan Red-ford, community area direc-tor for Interior Health, the

Chase Health Centre was closed for 16 days between April 2010 and the end of March 2011.

“This is very good for an area like Chase,” he notes.

But the situation appears to be getting worse. Ac-cording to the Interior Health website, a lack of doctors has resulted in the issuing of ‘temporary clo-sure’ notices for a total of 23 days from May, 2012 until now.

These closures have forced residents to leave Chase and instead go to ei-ther Salmon Arm or Kam-loops for emergency care.

“From my perspective I appreciate that residents have concerns when ER’s

get closed,” says Redford.“IH is not happy any time

we need to close an ER. We don’t have enough physi-cians. We need three physi-cians on any given day to operate the ER, in order for the doctors to meet demands of the clinic.”

Redford noted IH hired a second doctor on July 23, and is actively recruiting a third.

While three doctors would keep the ER open, Donnelly says she would like to see more, pointing out that Chase once had six doctors working at any giv-en time.

Redford explains that Chase often does not have the proper number of per-

manent doctors in place tokeep the centre open, butare able to do so throughother methods.

“Any time we don’t have apermanent position we relyon locums,” he says, point-ing out B.C. has a limited supply of physicians andeven fewer locums.

He says IH continues totry to keep the centre open.

Redford believes thatChase does a great job re-cruiting doctors to move towork in the area, and creditsthe community for this suc-cess.

“Mayor Anderson and thepeople of Chase have donean outstanding job,” he

TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE SERVICE: YES IT’S A REAL SERVICE

Part 1 of a 2 part series

You just took your car in for its regular transmission service. You have the transmission serviced about every two years,

because you’d like to avoid having to spend money on a rebuild. The service writer asks, “Would you like a complete fl uid ex-change service at the same time?” You smile. You know that’s a scam. If it weren’t, it’d be recommended in your owners manual. They’re just looking for a way to charge you more money, right?

Not even close. A transmission fl uid exchange is more than just a real service: It’s a worthwhile addition to your regular mainte-nance routine. Here’s why: During the more familiar transmission service, the technician removes the pan and replaces the fi lter. Then he reinstalls the pan and refi lls the transmission.

That type of service is valuable and worthwhile, but it only re-places part of the transmission fl uid. In some cases, less than half of the fl uid is replaced. The rest of the old, worn out fl uid remains in the transmission. That’s important, because transmis-sion fl uid does more than just lubricate the transmission parts. It also cools the transmission, and even provides the connection between the engine and the wheels.

When automatic transmission fl uid is squeezed between the clutch plates in the transmission, the fl uid takes on a new char-acteristic. It acts like little “Velcro” hooks, to help the clutches grab onto one another. That holding characteristic is critical for the transmission to operate properly.

says, “but when it comes to recruiting, it falls to the community and how they can pres-ent it.”

Donnelly, however, says recruiting is not the issue in Chase, it is getting the doctors to stay in the area. She says she would like to focus on the issues that are holding Chase back, identify the problems and find a solution to fix them.

“Why aren’t doctors staying in Chase? There are other rural commu-nities around here who have less to offer and

they do not have the issues that Chase has been having.”

Donnelly explained how when the Chase Primary Health Care Project was sold to the village, residents were promised a great num-ber of services in re-turn, including diabetic clinics, dietary clinics and counselling among others. Since then, Donnelly says, these services have been cut dramatically.

“If it is this that is holding our doctors back the solution is simple: get rid of the Primary Health Care Project,” she said.

Redford does not be-

lieve services in Chase have been officially cut – there is simply no one there to provide them.

Donnelly says she is worried that IH will try to phase out the Chase Health Care Centre , which she says would be devastating to the community.

As for the day of protest, Donnelly hopes it attracted the attention of some government officials.

“Government has the power to offer the in-centives that are need-ed; local government has the power to go to higher levels of gov-ernment to get the help

we need.”Redford however,

says Chase already of-fers a number of incen-tives.

“We have a contract with the physicians in Chase. We actually provide the clinic staff-ing, which makes it very easy for them to come into the commu-nity,” he explains.

Redford also stresses that when emergency is closed, it doesn’t mean patients can’t access emergency services. He says the ambulance service is available to transport patients to hospital in Salmon Arm or Kamloops.

But Donnelly does

not believe that send-ing residents to other areas is the proper so-lution.

“We shouldn’t be sending the message that it isn’t a big deal to head to another city for proper health care,” says Donnelly. “Many Chase residents do not own cars, or are elder-ly.

“The drive to Kam-loops may seem short when you are leisurely making your way home from work, but it seems like forever when you are staring into the face of a loved one whose life depends on immediate emer-gency care.”

Interior Health actively recruiting another doctorContinued from front

An adult man and a 16-year-old girl were arrested Tuesday, Aug. 14 for trafficking in crack cocaine.

Police were investi-gating some Salmon Arm residents for drug dealing, and arranged to meet the suspects in the soccer fields beside

Centenoka Park Mall. When the suspects

arrived they were ar-rested and RCMP seized a large amount of crack cocaine, mon-ey and cell phones from each person.

The man was recent-ly released from prison, while the girl was

found to be carrying drugs for the man. She has been released into the care of the Ministry of Children and Fami-lies.

Names of the ac-cused are being with-held until formal charg-es are approved by Crown counsel.

Fresh from the UK

leg of his Footprints

Tour to raise money for

Footprints Orphanage

in Kenya, acclaimed

s inger-songwri te r ,

Chris Ronald, will be

playing a number of

intimate shows in and

around the Okanagan

area between Aug. 19

and 26.

Born in England,

Ronald now lives in

Vancouver with his

wife and three young

children.

His latest CD, Turn-ing Tides, was released

last year to rave re-

views, citing his “obvi-

ous talent, great songs,

and glorious voice.”

He has been likened

to artists such as Jack-

son Browne and Kenny

Rankin. Tracks from

the album have also

been aired nationwide

on CBC Radio.

Many songs, both

on and off the Turn-ing Tides album, are

inspired by Ronald’s

experiences in and the

beauty of British Co-

lumbia, and audiences

enjoy hearing the sto-

ries behind the songs

during his live shows.

Since the album’s

release and the many

shows that have fol-

lowed, Ronald’s music

career has taken off to

the extent that he’s now

in the process of transi-

tioning from his day

job as an elementary

school teacher to pur-

suing music full-time.

The singer, guitarist,

harmonica player, and

poet writes and sings

from the heart.

He performs with

a sincerity that befits

his songs and with a

voice and message that

are both evocative and

emotionally charged.

Ronald will perform at

the Java Jive Neigh-

bourhood Bistro at 7

p.m. Monday, Aug.

20.

Singing from the heart

Their interest in mov-

ies was sparked in the

Salmar Classic Theatre

and now two Salmon

Arm Secondary grads

are bringing their own

fi lms to the theatre Sat-

urday, Aug. 25.

“It will be a pretty

surreal experience for

me because I spent my

childhood and teen

years watching mov-

ies in the Classic,” says

Jim Cliffe, whose fi rst

fi lm opened the 2011

Calgary Film Festival.

“It defi nitely fuelled my

passion for cinema and

wanting to break into

the industry.”

Since then Dono-van’s Echo, starring

Danny Glover and

Bruce Greenwood, had

a six-city theatrical re-

lease in Canada and

was screened in U.S. as

well.

Gearing up for DVD

and pay-per-view re-

leases in September,

Cliffe says he wanted

to show the fi lm in his

hometown fi rst.

“It’s defi nitely start-

ing to open a few doors,”

says Cliffe, who wrote

the script with wife and

partner Melodie Krieg-

er and directed the fi lm

himself.

Cliffe’s friend Kirk

Caouette, also now a

fi lmmaker, recalls The Shaggy D.A., as the fi rst

movie he saw in the

Classic Theatre.

Caouette’s award-

winning fi lm Hit ’n Strum will also reel out

Aug. 25.

A stuntman special-

izing in acrobatics and

martial arts in comic

book movies like X- Men, Catwoman and

Electra, Caouette says

15 years of stunt work

were fun but he wanted

to do something more

with his brain than “get-

ting hit by trucks and

stuff.”

It took him about one

year to write the screen-

play and music for Hit ‘n Strum, a fi lm about

a relationship between

a homeless man and a

corporate lawyer.

Caouette is also the

lead actor in the fi lm

that won three awards

at this year’s Canadian

Film Festival – best ac-

tor, best cinematogra-

phy and the William F.

White Reel Canadian

Indie Award.

“It got a standing

ovation; that was the

best moment of the en-

tire process, for sure,”

he says. “That’s when

I knew we’ve made

something that is really

affecting people, it’s re-

ally crowd-pleasing.”

Hit ’n Strum will

reel out at 2 p.m. and

Donovan’s Echo will be

shown at 5. Tickets will

be available at the door.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED


There was a time when I went fishing, in part, to get away from having to take pictures with my full-sized, motorized, heavy-duty pro-fessional camera with its massive telephoto lens. How-ever, nowadays I find that I quite enjoy taking my new little Nikon Coolpix P7200 digital camera along with me pretty well everywhere I go. Today’s small point-and-shoot cameras, with their image-stabilized lenses, are amazing.

Having said that, there is still nothing like a good steady tripod to aid in getting crisp, sharp images. This is something I’ve learned the hard way – on more than one occasion – when I was too lazy to pack along my rela-tively large, heavy metal Manfrotto tripod. That was also in the days before I had acquired my four-section, carbon-fibre tripod that weighs next to nothing (by comparison) and breaks down to a more packable size.

When it comes to tripods (and/or monopods for that matter), lighter and smaller does not necessarily mean

better. A flimsy tripod does little to prevent camera shake. The more stable the tripod, the more stable the image. It’s that simple. I can spot an image that was taken using a tripod a mile away. Espe-cially photos that were taken under lower light conditions.

You can determine for yourself what will work best as far as weight, size and stability. The trick is to have a tripod that is portable enough, yet sturdy enough to keep your camera steady.

Another piece of photo gear that comes in handy when heading out into the great outdoors is a well-made, comfortable and easy to carry backpack. Whether going on a short hike or far afield, a well-designed photo backpack allows you to carry

your gear more comfortably for greater distances. Always remember though, that what-ever distance you walk one way, you have to walk back when everything in your pack seems all that much heavier and more cumber-some.

There are a number of good quality packs out there that will help you organize, protect and carry your gear.

I have two different photo backpacks, both made by Lowe. One I use constantly. The other is more of a put- everything-into-it-until-I-get-there type of pack I use more as a travel case for all my gear. It is not the kind of pack I would want to carry around on my back for any amount of time or distance, but it is well-made and has lots of protection for cameras and lenses. It also has built-in wheels that makes it great for packing and transporting a lot of gear.

The little slingshot back-pack that I have with me constantly is indispensable. I can carry my point-and-shoot digital camera, an external flash, all sorts of extra batter-ies and cards, a small pair of

binoculars and some folded- up aluminum foil that I use for bounce lighting, as well as, my lunch and whatever murder mystery pocketbook I happen to be reading. I can strap my carbon-fibre tripod to the bottom of the pack and I’m good for the day.

While I never used to think there was a place for artificial light in nature photography, I have come to change my mind to some degree, in spite of the fact that it is one more thing to carry.

Flash allows you to fill in shadows and even out the lighting ratio between the shadow and brightly illumi-nated highlights. I also carry a couple of feet of aluminum foil in my pack, which I can unfold and use to bounce sunlight back onto my sub-ject when doing close-up na-ture photography.

The whole thing about de-ciding what to take (and what not to take) on any photo-graphic field trip is determin-ing what you absolutely need – because you will definitely use it – and not what you’ll just end up carting along for nothing.

Sometimes, it seems that bronze is worth as much as gold.

Such is certainly the case for Canada’s Olympic Women’s Soccer team, whose inspi-rational win came, not in the hoped-for gold medal game, but in the final bronze round — A bronze medal that is Canada’s first Summer Games medal in a traditional team sport since the 1936 Berlin Games, when the men’s bas-ketball team won silver.

These women sum up all that is best about athletic competition: spirit.

This team refused to give up, not after a humiliating last place finish at the World Cup last year, and not after a heartbreaking 4-3 loss in extra time against the U.S. in the semifinals.The team was clearly crushed after the loss, but by Friday had put that aside as they headed into a game against the highly-favoured French team. Again, another gruelling game, but the squad hung on for a scoreless 90 minutes.

Then, two minutes into extra time Diana Matheson drove in the winning goal, and put their team into the record books and Canadian soccer on the international map.

But the goal did more than that. In Canada, where sports revolve around hockey, many are surprised to find that more people play soccer than the national sport. And it is for the upcoming players that the women’s soccer bronze medal win may have its most lasting effect.

All those young players have not only an example of where the sport might take them, to the very highest levels of competition, but an example of competitive spirit to show them that it is possible to make a dream reality.

Time to rock Roots & BluesNo more sleeps!

It’s time. The gates to the 20th

annual Roots and Blues festival

open at 4 p.m.

“With a huge roster of Ca-

nadian and indie talent, there

is something for everyone this

year,” says marketing manager

Scott Crocker. “Community

celebrating a world of music to-

gether.”

That’s more than 40 acts on

six stages, 29 concessions in the

Global Food Village – a culinary

collision of Western cuisine and

ethnic delights, a 37-booth Arti-

san Market and a merchandise

tent with festival gear and CDs.

There’s also a great opportu-

nity to kick back and enjoy the

talent from our own backyard.

“This is a board member ini-

tiative bringing music and dance

from the local area to celebrate

the 20th anniversary,” says

Salmon Arm Folk Music Soci-

ety board member Ted Crouch.

“This is not a paid gig and the

lineup is representative of the 20

years of the festival.”

The Our Backyard lineup in-

cludes:

Saturday, Aug. 18: 12:25

p.m. – Shuffl e Demons; 1 p.m.

– Salmon Armenians; 1:30 p.m.

– Alan Bates and Sue Kyle; 3:30

p.m. – Dave Allan; 4 p.m. – Blu

Short; 4 p.m. – Reno Jack; 4:30

p.m. – Dominique Fraissard.

Located next to the folk soci-

ety offi ce, to the right of the main

gate, Our Backyard consists of

two stages – one for music and

one for dance.

This allows spectators to sim-

ply turn their chairs around to

catch the action on either stage.

What to takeDaytime temperatures are ex-

pected to soar and while water is

readily available on-site – along

with other beverages – seasoned

festivalgoers carry sunglasses,

sunscreen, a hat and even and

umbrella.

When the sun sinks behind the

mountain, the temperature often

drops quickly too. So, socks, a

sweater, long pants and a blanket

are favoured by many.

Other items to remember are a

low-back chair or tarp, camera,

binoculars and, of course, some

bucks to buy food and festival

music and souvenirs.

There is a fi rst aid station on-

site and people with mobility is-

sues can get assistance by advis-

ing security volunteers identifi ed

by their red shirts.

“There are lots of tickets

still available at the gate,” says

Crocker of the three-day festival

that opens today, Aug. 17. “The

sun will be shining, people will

be smiling – it’s going to be one

helluva party.”

Gates open at 9:30 a.m. Satur-

day and Sunday.

Andrew (4 years old) had been on medication for his constipation for at least 6 months, his nose was always runny and he was on medication for Asthma (inhalers & pills).

After his initial consultation and exam Andrew started his treatment and within 4-5 visits had started going to the toilet normally, his nose had stopped running and has not had any asthma treatment since. He is now medication free and is happy & contented. – J. Ross

Since I began treatment at the beginning of January 2008 I have been totally clear of headaches and my ability to walk has increased manyfolds. My sincere thanks to Dr. Darren McNaughton. I am now glad that I took the decision to seek the assistance of a chiropractor and would suggest to others to have a go. This form of treatment is vastly different from any that you may have experienced in the past. It has certainly helped me and improved my state of health quite dramatically. –A.W. Bruce

Rabid bat scratches manA Sunnybrae resident

is undergoing treatment after an encounter with a rabid bat two weeks ago.

Ray Alleyn was clear-ing away sandbags on his lakeshore property, when he was scratched by the bat.

“I heard him yelp and the bat landed on the step to the dock,” said wife Doreen, who had seen a bat fl ying around in the daylight a few days earlier. “I thought, ‘I don’t like that this happened,’ and I went and got a yogurt con-tainer.”

Back on the shore-line, an anxious Doreen says she was very wor-ried the bat was no lon-ger there.

“I was stressed out, but I calmed down and saw it fl oating in the water,” she says. “I scooped it up with the container.”

Ray called the BC Nurseline where he was told to wash the area with soap and water and call the local public health offi ce in order to get the bat tested.

Doreen, who used to work in a public health offi ce, was somewhat surprised when the re-quest for testing was ini-tially “pooh-poohed.”

“It’s a good thing he followed up and pressed them,” says Doreen, who noted her husband followed through, “be-cause he knows his wife is a worry wart.”

She says Ray was told public health staff don’t want to be fear-mon-gering and that there is only a small chance of the bat actually being rabid.

“The actual time be-tween infection and when you get sick (called the “incubation period”) ranges from

10 days to seven years,” notes the PubMed Health website. “The average incubation pe-riod is three to seven weeks. Once the symp-toms appear, the person rarely survives the dis-ease, even with treat-ment.”

“I would have slept with one eye open all that time, wondering if something was gonna happen,” says Doreen.

Whether he was af-fected, the Alleyns will never know because Ray opted for preven-tative treatment before the test results were re-turned.

When the bat tested positive for rabies, he was called to the health unit where he received four injections in one day, with shots sched-uled for three consecu-tive weeks.

Jennifer Jeyes, com-municable disease specialist with Interior Health, says the health region takes it very se-riously when people come in contact with bats.

In 2011, IH inves-tigated 12 bat/people contacts in the Thomp-son-Cariboo-Shuswap. Only two were brought in for testing and both came back negative, says Jeyes.

“Overall, in the prov-ince there are a few that do test positive,” she says, noting that in 2011 only seven bats tested positive for rabies in the entire province. “It’s not a high number, but the reason we take it so seriously is bats are the one species that do routinely carry rabies – just at a low level.”

“We recommend rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (treatment)with a series of injec-tions that give both im-mediate and long-term protection against the rabies virus.”

Anyone who has handled a bat should call their doctor or the health unit right away.

“The take-home mes-sage is avoid touching the bat, but if you do, call public health,” Jeyes says, recommending people wear heavy rub-ber gloves and a pair of tongs to pick up the bat.

And while she agrees, animals are also at risk,

bats fl ourish throughout B.C. and are an impor-tant and protected spe-cies.

Foxes and skunks have also been identi-fi ed as rabies carriers.

The PubMed web-site advises people stay away from animals they are not familiar with and to ensure their dogs and cats are properly immunized.

# A Sunnybrae man must undergo a series of shots to prevent a possible rabies infection after he was scratched by a bat like the one shown. Testing revealed the bat was infected with the disease.

Police are alerting residents and business-es in the Okanagan and Thompson Valley to a wave of fake currency passing through the re-gion.

On Aug. 8, three counterfeit $100 bills were passed to Salmon Arm businesses. These bills appear to be the same as those passed in other Okanagan com-munities.

The bill can be iden-tifi ed as fraudulent by noting the silver band across the bill which contains embossed “$5” repeated on this refl ec-tive strip.

Video surveillance has been obtained of the male who passed these bills and Salmon Arm police continue to in-vestigate the matter.

“The typical modus operandi is for the pass-er to make an inexpen-sive purchase and pay with a large denomina-tion, in turn receiving a large percentage of change back in authen-tic currency, leaving the bogus bill in the till,” said RCMP spokesman Cpl. Dan Moskaluk.

The RCMP has re-ceived 23 complaints about the passing or attempted passing of counterfeit bills in the past two weeks.

The incidents in-volved bank notes in $20, $50 and $100 de-nominations and oc-curred in Salmon Arm, West Kelowna, Pentic-ton, Kamloops, Oka-nagan Falls and other communities.

Moskaluk said gro-cery stores, convenience stores and bars are par-ticularly vulnerable to

bogus bank note scams.“Customarily, what

we do see at times is that drinking establishments might be victimized be-cause there’s lower light and a higher volume of clientele, so there’s a lower chance of being detected,” he said.

The fake currency is often traffi cked on the black market like drugs, he added, with a central manufacturer selling to wholesalers who unload the product to street-lev-el dealers and users.

“Normally we’ll see an individual or a group of individuals pass fake notes in a region for a period of time until pub-lic awareness becomes an issue for them, or our investigations are suc-cessful. It’s very similar to when we see travel-ling shoplifters going from town to town,” he said.

2nd Annual

Fifty years ago, Shuswap’s largest pro-tected area, Monashee Provincial Park, was established thanks to the efforts of a number of local conservation-ists. Nearly 200 people celebrated the park’s anniversary on June 1 at the Cherryville Hall, with an open house and exhibits followed by speakers, including BC Parks staff and local MLA Eric Foster, and a giant birthday cake. The Cherryville His-torical Society, who sold commemorative posters to raise funds to promote a proposed ex-pansion of the park, sponsored the event.

One of the highlights of the event was also a historical 70-minute film, Call of the Mo-nahsees, about a pack trip into the area pro-duced by local histori-an, Ernie Lavolette in the early 1960s. The film was recently con-verted to a DVD, thanks to funding from an Al-bertan scientist, Claude Labine, who has a sum-mer home in Cher-

ryville. Copies of the DVD are available for purchase in Cherryville and proceeds will assist the newly formed group, Friends of Mo-nashee Park.

Although the park’s birthday party was a popular event, this an-niversary year has been bittersweet because ac-cess to the park was cut off on June 23 due to a massive flood that washed out the only road into the area.

It was the same heavy rain-on-snow event that flooded Sicamous and Hummingbird creeks. Star Creek flows out of the hills below Tsuius Mountain to the west of the park and when the heavy rain hit, the creek burst its banks and flooded both the Sugar Lake Road and the road into the park.

The main road was quickly repaired, but the damage to the road into the park was more severe. The provincial government is now working with the local logging company, Tolko, to rebuild the road and the goal is to have it repaired before the end of August. However, more work is needed to ensure the creek remains within its banks the next time there is heavy precipi-tation. The Star Creek watershed has been heavily logged in the past, and these clearcuts increase the flow of

water during spring run-off. Another prob-lem is that the creek’s fan is unstable due to a forest fire in the 1950s and will continue to be unstable until the trees grow to maturity.

Monashee Park has a rich history, as the al-pine area has been a popular destination for hiking since the early 1900s, when Bill Fraser and an unidentified companion walked across Canada and spent the winter in a hastily built log cabin at Margie Lake.

That spring he jour-neyed on to the coast but then returned to settle at Sugar Lake where he built a three-story cedar log lodge on a rise overlooking the lake. This was a popular pristine fishing lake where a number of prominent Vernon resi-dents had established summer homes.

Fraser soon added a number of cabins and his lodge became im-portant for providing pack-horse services for forest fire lookout sta-tions and outdoor en-thusiasts hiking into the alpine country and ma-jestic mountains of the Peters Lake area, named after a lodge guest from England. Peters Lake is far above the scenic Rainbow Falls which blocks fish

passage. In 1940, the Summerland Trout Hatchery delivered 8,000 fingerlings to the Fraser Lodge and the next morning Andrew Hankey delivered the fish to the lake with packhorses in record time to ensure their sur-vival.

The exceptional rec-reational values of Sug-ar Lake abruptly ended in 1942 when a storage dam was built at Bren-da Falls that raised the level of the lake by sev-en metres. Since Fraser Lodge was built on high ground it contin-ued to provide an ac-cess point for visitors into the Peters Lake area, including those who used floatplanes in the 1950s.

When the bridge was built spanning the up-per Shuswap River, it opened the area to log-ging and provided im-proved access for al-pine hiking and fish-ing.

Eventually the area

became so popular, Bill Fraser and a number of other conservationists began lobbying the government to turn the area into a park.

Scottish surveyor Donald McIntyre has long been credited for naming the mountains the Monashees in 1881, which has always been translated from the Gaelic as “Mountains of Peace.”

However, local histo-rian and writer Don Elzer has a new theory, since mountain in Gaelic is sliabh, pro-nounced shleeve and peace in sith.

Elzer believes that Monashee more accu-rately describes the mythical fairy inhabit-ants of the island of Mona and this theory corresponds to a move-ment in the late 1800s to restore the old Gaelic culture.

The love and com-panionship of a cat is priceless, but from Thursday, Aug. 23 to Saturday, Aug. 25, adopters can choose an adult cat from any BC SPCA location – and name their own adop-tion fee.

“The BC SPCA takes in more than 17,000 homeless cats and kit-tens each year and sum-mer is the peak season

where our shelters are filled to capacity,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “Summer is es-pecially hard on adult cats because with so many kittens in the shel-ters people sometimes overlook the wonderful adult cats who have so much to offer.”

Chortyk adds, “Our cats are a great value

any time of the year, but during the Pick your Purr-fect Price promo-tion, the animals will be even more accessible to adopters.”

For more details on the Pick your Purr-fect Price event, visit spca.bc.ca to view all adopt-able animals at SPCA locations across B.C. The Shuswap SPCA is located at 5850 Auto Road.

# Mickey Sims poses at the Salmon Arm Wharf with his most recent Se-nior Masters Middleweight World Championship belt.

Sims repeats as boxing champion

A Salmon Arm resi-

dent returns home a

world champion for the

second year in a row.

Whether it is his de-

termination, skill, or

pure luck, Mickey Sims

certainly has what it

takes to make it in the

tough world of the box-

ing ring.

Sims headed back to

familiar rings in Kan-

sas City, Missouri,

Aug. 2 to compete in

the World Champion

Boxing Tournament – a

competition Sims de-

scribes as the largest

amateur boxing com-

petition in the world.

“The Olympic fight-

ers are normally in at-

tendance as well,” says

Sims, however, none

were in present this

year due to the London

Summer Olympics.

The Salmon Arm

fighter has trained for

months through exten-

sive routines, sparring

with other masters in

the area, and sticking to

a strict dietary regimen

to prepare for the Se-

nior Masters Middle-

weight World Champi-

onship.

Just days before

heading into the com-

petition Sims had said

he felt he was in better

shape than he was the

year before and was

hoping to prove him-

self right in Kansas

City.

There were only four

competitors in Sims’

weight category and

weight class this year.

This meant he would

only need to win one

bout before being sent

to the finals.

Sims explains that

the day before his fight

he was speaking to a

fellow fighter whom he

had fought the year be-

fore.

It was during this

conversation that Sims

met his first opponent.

“He had asked the

other fighter who he

was fighting, and he

said ‘some Canadian

guy,’” said Sims.

When his opponent

learned that the Cana-

dian guy was Sims and

that he was the reign-

ing world champion,

Sims says he became

somewhat frazzled.

“He kept saying, ‘Oh

you’re the champion,

you’re the champion.’ I

tried to say no, I was

the champion last year,

this year I am just a

fighter.”

Sims describes wak-

ing up early the next

morning for the weigh-

in the day of his first

fight, after which he

immediately began to

get himself pumped up

for the five o’clock

fight.

He warmed up

around three, got his

hands taped and gloves

on, and then finally

headed for the ring.

He admits to being a

little nervous, but still

remained quite confi-

dent in his abilities.

In the ring, the offi-

cials inspected his

gloves while waiting

for his opponent to

make his way down.

When his opponent

still had not shown up,

the officials called out

his name one final time

stating if he did not

make it to the ring, he

would be disqualified.

Soon after this final

call, Sim’s opponent

stepped into the area,

but instead of sporting

his mandatory head-

gear and gloves he was

wearing his street

clothes.

The other fighter

claimed to be sick and

backed out of the fight.

Sims still thinks there

was more to it than the

fighter simply being

sick.

The referee walked

Sims to the middle of

the ring and held up his

hand. Sims was auto-

matically sent to the fi-

nal round.

“It was disappointing

really. I was expecting

to fight and had worked

myself up to do so. In-

stead I had to go and

workout afterwards in

order to release some

of the adrenaline that

had built up.”

In the final round

Sims was up against an

opponent who was sub-

stantially taller than

him. He explains that

while this gave his op-

ponent a definite ad-

vantage in reach, he

still had the advantage

in power.

Sims had to figure

out a method that would

make it difficult for his

opponent to take ad-

vantage of his extended

reach, and so he started

with a number of low

shots which forced his

opponent to drop his

hands. Sims followed

this with a number of

higher shots, leading

his opponent into a sev-

en count in the first

round.

The rest of the bout,

Sims explains, consist-

ed of his opponent

staying on his feet and

backing around the

ring.

When the final bell

went, Sims was re-

lieved to have his arm

raised in the centre of

the ring. “There was

me standing next to this

giant, and it was my

hand being raised.”

While Sims enjoys

boxing and always

wanted to have three

belts, he is unsure at

this point if he will be

returning to the sport

next year.

“It is very time-con-

suming,” says Sims. “I

will speak to my wife

and kids and see what

they think and go from

there.”

“For now I just want

to relax, spend some

time on the lake and

have some barbecue.”

DDon’t take a wrong turn

CHASE

Getting thrown or

falling off a horse is

all part of learning to

ride well.

Twelve-year-old

Emily Francois had

been thrown just a few

days prior, and there

she was up on the back

of Sugar, with more

knowledge about her-

self and her steed.

On the morning

of Tuesday, Aug.

14, trucks and trail-

ers began to arrive at

Lorne Sampson’s ro-

deo grounds in Chase,

in preparation for the

Unity Ride. The four-

day trip would cover

100 kilometres in to-

tal, stopping at three

camps on the way

overnight, eventually

arriving at Simpcw

Secwepemc Gathering

near Barriere on Fri-

day, Aug. 17.

In March 2009, Kuk-

pi7 Wayne Christian

of Splats’in was one of

17 Secwepemc band

chiefs who formed the

Chiefs Working Group

and signed a protocol

agreement establish-

ing an over-arching

commitment to work

together and develop a

nation-based approach

to Secwepemc child

welfare.

From that, came the

plan for a unity ride to

provide the opportu-

nity for elders to share

traditional knowledge

with youth, as they

rode along the trail.

Excitement grew as

horses came out of the

trailers saddled up, rid-

ers mounted. Seasoned

cowboys showed fall-

ing off a horse is al-

ways a possibility.

One learns to stay on

a horse, but also how

to fall with minimal

injury.

Spirited horses car-

ried their riders around

the rodeo grounds,

getting used to the

other animals and peo-

ple they’d never met

before. Veteran bull

rider Lorne Sampson

told 10-year-old Lin-

coln Yarama, his horse

Kelly was a good per-

sonality match. Yara-

ma calmly encouraged

Kelly, noticing her

nervousness as he was

handed a feathered

staff for the trip.

Caring for each

other is a key element

as thrown riders were

checked for injuries,

along with equipment

checks. As 12-year-old

Eleanna Pena posed

for a photo on the back

of Sany, her auntie

says, “That’s the last

time you get up on that

horse without proper

footwear.”

Chief Christian

prepared a smudge to

bless horses and riders,

and everyone prayed

for safety on the four-

day trip.

Riders from Oka-

nagan, Adams Lake,

and Neskonlith Indian

bands were among the

group – small family

reunions evidenced by

the hugs and smiles as

they met.

Adams Lake Indian

Band Chief Nelson

Leon prayed, “Look

after our children,

where our future is.

Getting to know each

other helps communi-

ties work together, out

on the land is impor-

tant too. Have a safe

journey.”

As the group of ap-

proximately 20 horses

and riders came to-

gether in the rodeo

corral, nerves seemed

to calm down some-

what.

The spectators had

a good laugh when

they thought Leon

said something about

someone coming from

Whitehorse. His com-

ment was actually

about “the woman on

the white horse.”

In a more relaxed

move, the group left

the corral and took the

road heading north

toward the mountain

they were about to

climb.

It is a trip no one is

likely to forget, espe-

cially the youth.

Unforgettable four-day journey for youth

Local business own-

ers are pushing to re-

move benches from

downtown area, with

the hope that trouble-

some teens will soon

follow.

Vic Calvert, owner

of the Underwood Ho-

tel, appeared before

Chase council Aug.

14, expressing his con-

cern over the types of

crowds that are drawn

to a park bench situated

outside his building.

Calvert said he has

not even officially

opened his doors yet

and potential customers

are already asking him

to move the bench.

“They are intimi-

dated by the people

who gather there,” said

Calvert.

Sears manager Su-

san Bleile, has similar

concerns. She says

teenagers hanging out

on the bench in front of

her store during work-

ing hours often scare

away customers.

“There must be

more appropriate spots

for a park bench than

on a street corner,” said

Bleile.

Both Calvert and

Bleile claim the bench-

es are contributing to

the vandalism issues

that continue to occur

in the area.

Another member of

the gallery, one who

rents from Calvert, said

she watched a group

carrying on up and

down the street before

beating up the pop ma-

chines and eventually

breaking one of the Un-

derwood’s windows.

Calvert did not want

to completely get rid of

the park benches, sug-

gesting they be relo-

cated.

Bleile told council

she understands the

benches were there for

beautification purposes,

but questioned whether

the litter and vandalism

that seems to be related

to them does not coun-

teract this purpose.

Someone else in the

gallery suggested the

benches be moved to

the playground at Me-

morial Park, pointing

out the park has a great

playground that is of-

ten frequented by local

families as well as tour-

ists, who have nowhere

to sit while the children

play.

While the benches

may be a nuisance in

the downtown area,

she said they would be

greatly appreciated in

the park by those who

could really use them.

Coun. Rick Berrigan

said he agreed that Me-

morial Park does need

benches and added he

would like to look into

adding a number of

them to that location.

Mayor Ron Ander-

son, however, doesn’t

believe removing the

benches will eliminate

the vandalism issue

in the downtown area

completely, nor the

amount of people who

linger there.

He said this is an

issue that must be

worked on with the lo-

cal RCMP in order to

see any real improve-

ments.

Council agreed that

the request to move

the benches from

downtown Chase was

reasonable and voted

to discuss the matter

further at their Sept. 4

committee of the whole

meeting.

An easy-to-learn ac-

tivity, appealing to all

ages and fitness levels,

stand up paddle board-

ing (SUP) participants

can quickly progress,

developing the skills

necessary to improve

fitness or simply enjoy

the ‘walking on water’

experience.

SUP promotes bal-

ance, strength, and en-

durance. It is one of the

best workouts for de-

veloping core strength

and overall fitness. The

benefits have been re-

alized by professional

athletes, celebrities

and weekend warriors

alike.

SUP roots run deep

in Hawaiian surf histo-

ry. In the 1940s, Waiki-

ki’s ‘beach boys’ used

single blade ‘kanu’

paddles to propel their

oversized surfboards

to watch over their

guests.

Sixty years later,

SUP is one of the

fastest-growing water

sports in the world.

A lifetime outdoor

enthusiast, runner, ski-

er, paddler and surfer,

Bodie Shandro first

embraced SUP in 2008.

Since then, he has in-

structed hundreds of

first time enthusiasts.

Considered a vet-

eran SUP competi-

tor, Shandro is one of

the first Canadians to

have raced in some the

world’s most presti-

gious and demanding

events, including the

Battle of the Paddle

California and Hawaii,

Paddle Royal in Puerto

Rico and WhaSUP VI

in St. Thomas.

In July 2011,

Shandro became one

of the first Canadian

paddle boarders to suc-

cessfully navigate the

Channel of Bones in

the SUP World Cham-

pionship, a 32-mile

race from Molokai to

Oahu

He is Canada’s

only ASI Master Certi-

fied SUP instructor by

the World Stand Up

Paddleboard Associa-

tion. Shandro is one of

Paddle Canada’s first

Instructor Trainers.

SUP training is

available at Chase Me-

morial Park though

Sandro’s business,

Surfit. For more infor-

mation, call 250-578-

8979 or 250 318 0722,

REID, TORYA beautiful life-1925-2012

Born to parents Rod and Ethel Gollan, Tory was one of twelve children, raised on a farm in Alliance, Alberta. After fi nishing school Tory joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and instructed aerobics for servicemen during the second world war. At the young age of 13 she fell in love with Ken, the man she would marry, while watching him play baseball. Ken and Tory married in Edmonton in 1946 and very soon began a family. Ken supported his family with his own construction company while Tory devoted her time to raising their four children. After a few holidays in beautiful B.C. they decided to move there. They shared a passion for golf and purchased the Salmon Arm Golf Course in 1963. Together they ran the clubhouse and all the golf events while at the same time rebuilt the golf course, changing the sand greens to grass, building an irrigation pond and system and raising their children including them in all endeavors. They sold the golf course in 1968 but continued to be avid golfers playing together until 2010. Tory won the womens club championship 13 times, her last win at age 72. The most important part of her life was her family. She was a devoted wife and mother and will always be adored by her children for her beautiful strength of character, a wonderful mixture of strong morals, intelligence, great sense of humor and steadfast loving kindness.

Thank you to all of our friends and extended family for your warm thoughts and prayers. Thank you to Bertha and Kim and the wonderful staff at Lakeside Manor for your kindness and friendship while Mom and Dad lived there. A very special thank you to the amazing staff at Hillside Village for your understanding and sincere kindness while caring for Mom during her last few months.

Her memory will always be cherished by her children Donna, Arlene (Daryl), Jan (Len), Ralph (Debbie), grandchildren Shaun (Jen), Tonya (Simon), Dachs (Donna), Kim (Phil), Tasha, Lenny, Colter (Vanessa), Nile (Sarah), Levin (Candice), Dawson and great grandchildren Christian, Taegan, Tarryn, Brisa, Darren, Callam, Paetyn, Adley, Haylen, and Tory’s brothers and sisters Alice, Ivae, Emmy, Roddy and Kenny.

The family has chosen to celebrate Tory’s life in private and in lieu of fl owers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer foundation.

LASOTA, DAMON STEPHEN-JOEDamon Stephen-Joe LaSota was suddenly taken

from us on July 21st, 2012 at the young age of 24 years old. He leaves behind many people who loved him and in particular his sister Carly Stephens, his mumzie Laurie LaSota and his uncle Greg LaSota.

Damon was born in Prince Rupert BC at 2:00 a.m. on September 21st, 1987. He entered this world a kickin’ and a screamin’ and brought tremendous joy to all that met him. He especially loved his uncle Greg (LaSota) who taught him many things and looked out for him throughout his childhood. Damon quickly grew into a strong, sensitive little daredevil who wanted to experience everything; swimming, biking, taekwondo, camping, fi shing and jumping off of almost anything. He particularly loved biking. He started with BMX racing during his childhood in Kamloops and quickly moved on to mountain biking, in particular, downhillstyle, complete with speed and agility; the faster the better for Damon.

His family moved from Kamloops to Eagle Bay BC where he built treeforts and spent tons of time on Shuswap Lake. Hours of Damon’s life werespent swimming, diving and exploring at Shannon Beach with friends andfamily. Damon eventually received a trampoline and perfected a homemade“trampoline bike”. He and his sister spent days jumping, climbing, twistingand shouting on that trampoline mastering almost every bike trick in the book.The outdoors was Damon’s haven. He loved to explore the forest and maketrails and secret hideouts for days on end…it seemed the tranquil wildernesscalmed him, but Damon would never sit for too long.

He struggled in school but was very smart…always reading either a StephenKing book or some explanation as to how the Titanic was built. Damon hadbigger plans than school, he quickly realized how to make money and workedlong days at Demille’s Farm Market. You may remember him as the “CornBoy” in the famous corn cob costume…promoting sales. Once he receivedhis fi rst paycheque he was off. He worked tirelessly beside his Grama UrsulaLaSota and Grampa John DeMarni. Damon and his Grama had a specialbond…they often spent time together just talking about their days or justbeing quiet together…there was no judgment by either one.

During his high school days, Damon saw the work experience program atSalmon Arm Senior Secondary as his “OUT” of the school system. He wasplaced with a great contracting company in Salmon Arm, who took Damonunder their wing and began to teach him the ropes… Damon never lookedback. Earning money and being independent was addicting to him. Into theworkforce he went, working tirelessly and spending tirelessly.

Damon worked in Salmon Arm for a few years, but was always restless asif he were meant for bigger adventures. He moved on to Revelstoke to buildthe new ski hill, moved again on to Calgary to try out the big city which heloved, and again moving up to Grande Prairie in search of big money buteventually returned to his home and family in Salmon Arm. He had a greatnumber of friends and made an impact on all of them. He was known as“the protector” within his close knit group. He valued his friends sometimesmore than himself as they accepted him with no restrictions. Anyone whoknew Damon came to understand his crazy ways but also knew he “had yourback”.

When Damon was around, everyone would be doubled over with laughter,he had a crazy, “way out there” humor that would light up the room. We oftensaid he should have been a comedian. He knew how to diffuse a situation orhow to bring a friend up from deep despair. He had the gift of true friendshipand acceptance. Damon struggled with his own life and demons but neverlet that get in the way of taking care of someone else.

His life was quickly changing with the arrival of his fi rst child due in lateNovember of 2012 when he was taken from us, but he will be watching overthat child from somewhere else forever. We will never know what troubledDamon but do know from now on he will truly be at peace and at rest in hismind, jumping his BMX, diving in the water and catching those big ol’ fi sh inWhite Lake. We will miss Damon greatly but never forget his crazy ways andhis awesome laugh. Every time the thunder roars and lightening strikes…remember Damon as noisy as ever, laughing, jumping, screaming, howlingand still making us all smile as only Damon could!!

A Celebration of Life for Damon will be held at Canoe Hall, Canoe, BCon Saturday, August 18th, from 1 – 5 p.m. This is a casual, drop in type ofgathering; anyone who knew Damon or would like to share their experiencesmay attend… the more the merrier. We would like to send him off with lots oflove and laughter.

In lieu of fl owers, memorial donation’s to the Salmon Arm Skate Park, c/o444 Trans Canada Hwy, Salmon Arm, V1E 1S9.
