The family of a woman killed in a col-lision involving a high speed police chase is reassured that the sys-tem is holding some-one accountable.

A criminal charge of dangerous driving has been laid against Salm-on Arm RCMP Const. Micah Chan in regards to the crash that killed 21-year-old Courtenay Eggen on June 20.

The Criminal Justice Branch approved the charge Dec. 19, in rela-tion to Chan’s alleged high-speed pursuit of Eggen’s vehicle into Salmon Arm’s indus-trial park. Eggen, who was from Cherryville, crashed into a parked dump truck and died at the scene.

Ian Eggen, Courte-nay’s father, says there is some disappoint-ment that the Crown can’t connect Courtney Eggen’s death with the criminal charge.

He, notes, however, the charge does show the police and special investigators are being diligent.

“My reaction is up and down. There’s no great joy, but the fact that someone is being held accountable is im-portant... It has given me reassurance that the system in place is working and nothing is being covered up.”

Despite the fatal-ity, the B.C. Criminal Justice Branch issued a statement saying it concluded the evidence “does not provide a substantial likelihood of conviction for dan-gerous driving causing death.”

This is because “the prosecution cannot prove that the officer’s driving conduct factu-ally and legally contrib-uted to the crash of the second vehicle and the death of its driver.”

The report goes on to state: “The available evidence, including the evidence of two civil-ian witnesses, indicates that Const. Chan was a significant distance behind the other driver

prior to the fatal crash.”Chan is presumed in-

nocent and it will be the duty of Crown counsel to prove beyond a rea-sonable doubt that an offence was commit-ted.

The incident was re-viewed by B.C.’s Inde-pendent Investigations Office (IIO), the first time such an investiga-tion has taken place in Salmon Arm.

The incident took place just before mid-night and the IIO was alerted at 12:30 a.m.

June 21.The report indicates

the situation began when Chan reportedly observed Eggen’s ve-hicle failing to stop at a stop sign at Auto Road and 30th Street NE.

Chan, who was monitoring traffic at the location, intended to pull over the vehicle for Motor Vehicle Act violations and began to follow it in an attempt to catch up.

“The second driver accelerated to a high rate of speed and Const. Chan allegedly pursued the vehicle at a high speed,” says the

report, which goes on to say that Eggen ulti-mately lost control of her vehicle, resulting in the fatal collision.

“A short time later, Const. Chan alleg-edly lost control of his police vehicle at ap-proximately the same location and slid off the road.”

Chan’s police cruiser was observed the next day on the opposite side of Auto Road near 50th Avenue, wedged between a building and a grassy embankment. Investigators were checking tire marks where it appeared the cruiser had gone over the edge of the road and down the short slope. Two tires on the police cruiser were blown out and its trunk was dam-aged when it collided with the building.

In the initial state-ments from the IIO, it was indicated that “the pursuit was ordered ter-minated.”

The Criminal Justice Branch release makes no mention of this in its report and, as the mat-ter is now before the courts, officials refused to comment further.

Meanwhile Eggen and the rest of Cour-tenay’s family and friends still have many unanswered questions.

“Why did she run? Why was there a chase? Was it called off? I guess we will be wait-ing for the case to take its due course in court.”

Chan’s first appear-ance in Salmon Arm

Provincial Court will be Feb. 4.

Good news has been announced that will further the dream of a downtown campus for Okanagan College in Salmon Arm.

A resident has pro-posed donating close to 20 acres of land, states a news release issued by Okanagan College.

“Jerry Thompson, a generous, community-spirited land owner, has identified a 20-acre parcel of land that he is willing to donate to the college for the pur-poses of a campus in the downtown area,” explained Tom Styffe, chair of the Okanagan College Board of Gov-ernors. “We have been in discussions with the city and Mr. Thompson about what has to hap-pen to see that come to pass.”

The land is located within parcels Thomp-son owns between 10th Street SW, 10th Avenue SW, Foothill Road SW and Shuswap Street and is within the Agricultur-al Land Reserve.

“There are some pro-cesses that we will have to deal with, but we are excited by the offer and the opportunity,” stated Styffe in the news re-lease.

Arguably one of the biggest hurdles may be getting approval from the Agricultural Land Commission to use the property for a campus.

Before applying to the commission, the college will have to de-velop education, busi-ness and development plans for the property, Styffe said.

A portion of Thomp-son’s land has been used in the past for tem-

porary camping for the Roots and Blues Festi-val.

Lana Fitt, Economic Development manager, who has worked on the project for several years, expressed her gratitude.

“From our perspec-tive, we are so pleased with this most recent development and are very thankful for the incredible generosity and sense of commu-nity shown by the land donor. This land dona-tion is one more step to-wards the development of a downtown commu-nity campus; it’s a great step forward for our en-tire community.”

The college, the City of Salmon Arm and the prospective donor have signed a letter of in-tent that focuses on the potential donation and the development of the

property.“The city clearly has

an interest in seeing this proceed, from a number of perspectives,” stated Mayor Nancy Cooper in the release. “We re-alize how much of an economic generator that post-secondary educa-tion is and can be, and we want to encourage further development of Okanagan College within our region.”

Council’s commit-ment includes partici-pating with the college and the donor on the ALC application and being ready to assist with access and services to the property if the ap-plication is successful.

“This is a very im-portant first step,” stated Cooper. “We under-stand it will be at least two years before we can expect the application to go to the ALC, but patience and prepared-ness will be vital to this process. We are looking at the long-term benefits for our community and this region.”

Thompson said he sees the proposed do-nation as a way to give back to the community.

“I watched with inter-est the discussion about a downtown campus and saw a community inspired by the idea,” stated Thompson. “Salmon Arm has been good to my family, and I see an opportunity here to give back and help my community.”

The current campus sits on about five acres of land.

In 2012, a proposal to have agriculture as the college’s flagship pro-gram was announced, after about two years of community consulta-tion.

The proposed dona-tion of land is the latest development in the idea of a downtown college campus which was first visualized about a de-cade ago. The informal push to develop Salmon Arm as a college town became a formal initia-tive in 2010, when the Downtown Community Campus Committee was formed.

Although the former J.L. Jackson school site was proposed pre-viously as a home for a downtown campus, the committee told the

school district this past April that it was not able to come up with the necessary funds.

At first glance, the winter landscape appeared stark and void of life. Neither bird nor beast seemed to have been willing to venture out into the cold. I should mention here, right from the start, that I do not like winter. I don’t like the snow and I don’t like the cold. So I found myself questioning what the heck I was doing heading out with a friend on the coldest of winters to take a photo of “birders” taking part in the annual Christmas Bird Count.

Stepping out of the warm vehicle, we surveyed the lay of the land. A great expanse of desolate white lay before us in all directions.

“Which way should we go?” I asked.

“I wonder what there might be to see over this way,” she said as she took a deep breath of the cool crisp air.

“What could there pos-sibly be to see – other than white?” I muttered under my breath.

She led. I followed.It wasn’t long before we

spotted a set of small foot-prints in the snow.

“Let’s follow them and see where they lead,” she said all excited. She led. I followed.

The tracks led across an open area of drifted snow just to the left of the tree line – not exactly in a straight line, but obviously with some sort of mission in mind. A little further on, they suddenly disappeared – just like that. There were no other intersecting prints, no hole burrowed into the snow, no nothing.

Kneeling down to take a closer look, my friend pointed out where the snow appeared to have been ever so slightly brushed away about 10 inches on either side of the tiny tracks – right at about the point where the tiny prints had come to such

an abrupt end.“Animal tracks are like

fingerprints,” she said as she knelt there.

I have to admit, I was be-coming somewhat curious as to what had happened to our little friend who had left its trail in the snow.

“When tracking,” she said, “you need to try and think like an animal and put yourself into their paws, so to speak.”

She then went on to ex-plain that “smaller animals, which are also often food sources for other larger ani-mals, usually stay close to cover for safety reasons.” And, that “a creature such as a small field mouse, which is probably what made these tracks, would normally have stayed nearer to protective cover in case something else like, say, a coyote or a hungry hawk or an owl, hap-pened to be out hunting in the area.”

“See here – the brushing of the snow on both sides of the mouse’s tracks – you know what that indicates? A hawk or owl has swooped down to pick off a tasty little morsel for lunch. Everything

feeds off everything else in the wild,” she said with a malicious grin.

My friend says she often takes along a notebook and a pencil so she can make sketches of imprints and jot down notes so that she can go on the Internet to identify unfamiliar prints later on.

Later that evening, I found myself searching the Inter-net for information about animal tracks and the art of tracking. I discovered plenty of information on the subject. I also discovered a number of really good field guides available that one can carry when venturing out into the wild to help identify animal tracks. Tom Brown’s Field Guide to Nature Ob-servation and Tracking, the National Audubon Society’s Pocket Guide: Familiar Ani-mal Tracks of North Amer-ica and the Peterson Field Guide to Animal Tracks are all well worth looking at, if not keeping in your pocket.

It would seem the art of tracking is part science, part detective work and, I have to admit, a pretty good reason to spend time in the great outdoors.

Canada Post cuts not helping seniors

One can’t help but wonder if the CEOs of BC Ferries and Canada Post came from the same school of business.

Both quasi-crown corporations recently made major decisions with minimal consultation about their proposals. Neither the post office nor the ferry system seem to care about the impact their decisions to help pay the bills will have on the taxpayers. While both groups need some business-model restructuring, both seem to have gone the “fire sale” route, cutting as deep as they can.

Pretty much the only mandate of the Canadian postal service is to get the mail to the people of Canada. And yet, instead of corporate restructur-ing (perhaps doing away with some of their 22 president and vice-president positions) and/or reducing administrative costs, Canada Post, out of the blue, announces that they will no longer be bringing mail to your doorstep and will be cutting thousands of mail carrier jobs in the years ahead.

It’s simple to say that people can now go to a central mailbox location to get their mail, and the reality is most people can without too much of a problem. But Canada Post’s plan fails to take into account the thousands of Canadians for whom this will not be just a problem, but a major hindrance in their day-to-day life.

I’m talking about those who face mobility chal-lenges, be it as a result old age, some sort of acci-dent or a life-long disability. On one hand, the government is doing what it can to encourage seniors to live in their homes as long as possible, while on the other hand, the government is making it much more difficult for them to do so.

Is Canada Post really going to ask senior citizens who may barely be able to move around the house, let alone drive, to make their way around town in order to pick up the mail?

OpiniOn

The GreaT OuTdOOrs

James Murray

Part science, part detective work

South ShuSwapWhat made the news in 2013Year in review: The first six months of the year are featured this week. January

After being charged with production and possession of 800 mar-ijuana plants, Darren Farrel, from Sorrento, walked free. The judge ruled that police made too many errors on a search warrant request. An officer with just two years’ experience submitted the search warrant that the judge found to be “negligent to a degree the court should not condone.”

Friends of the Notch Hill Church Society began reconstruction of the Roman Catholic Holy Cross Church.

Abandoned in the 1970s, the church had suffered significant weather damage and was near collapse.

Volunteers are using photographs from past decades donated by the community to help restore the church to what is used to be.

The Literacy Alli-ance of the Shuswap encouraged students and families to reduce their time spent in front of the TV and comput-er, and instead pick up a book and read during their week long Un-plug and Play Family Literacy Week.

The Sorrento El-ementary School choir was invited to sing the national anthem at the Salmon Arm Silver-Backs hockey game held at the Shaw Cen-tre in Salmon Arm.

FebruarySteve Corrie spoke to

the Probus Club about Voice of the Shuswap, the new local radio sta-tion based in Salmon Arm.

The club recently became on of the more than 200 Probus Clubs in Canada, and has opened its member-ship to residents from the North Shuswap, Chase, Sorrento, Blind Bay, White Lake, Ea-gle Bay and Wild Rose Bay areas.

Salmon Arm RCMP discovered an under-ground marijuana grow-op on an 80-acre rural property on Wells Bank Road near Sor-rento. Approximately 7,000 plants were seized and one man was arrested and faces charges of production of a controlled sub-stance.

Northern Lights Chamber Choir per-formed Rejuvena-

tion to the public at St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Sorrento. The choir chose this theme as they believe it elicits thoughts of health, renewed energy and joy, which people could use in the cold winter months.

The Sorrento 100 Committee gave a huge thanks to the lo-cal community, who helped make the cen-tennial year in 2012 a whopping success. Sponsors contributed more than $40,000, in addition to $15,000 worth of donations in kind.

Principal of Sorrento Elementary School, Ian Lindy, speaks of the new learning tools the school has adopt-ed. Lindy introduced iPads, iPad mini’s and tablets to the Grade 4-5 split class which have proved invaluable. The students now have the ability to learn on mul-tiple platforms and in

different ways. The devices are used

to enhance the current curriculum as teachers use the devices to teach through play; this es-pecially helps students who have difficulty learning in the tradi-tional pen and paper format.

MarchMore than 20 dance

numbers were per-formed in front of more than 300 Shus-wap residents at the FACES Studio first an-nual Spring Recital.

Barry Stokes and Jean-Luc Desgroseil-liers were selected as the community rep-resentatives for the CSRD Community Sewer System Task Group. Community sewer is very much needed in the South Shuswap, as ground-water monitoring in both Sorrento and Blind Bay shows that

run off from residen-tial septic systems is

getting into Shuswap Lake and contributes to the degradation of wa-ter quality. During the 2012 freshet, high wa-ters resulted in many septic systems being flooded and leaked ef-fluent into the lake. Other members in the group include repre-sentatives from Interior Health, Ministry of Environment, CSRD Environment and En-gineering Services and Development Services, First Nations, in addi-tion to the community representatives select-ed.

A 24-year-old Sor-rento resident, Allen Edward Power, was the confirmed identity of a man who died in a vehicle accident near Cache Creek on March 1.

Power drove his ve-hicle into the path on an oncoming charter bus carrying 22 Special Olympic athletes.

Sorrento Memo-rial Hall held a spring art sale displaying the work of more than 34 local craftspeople and artisans. Art for sale included pottery, glassware, woodwork and handmade leather goods.

Residents were en-couraged to Carlin Hall for Card Night, which was organized for every Friday night in March.

John Reischman and

the Jaybirds performed for a local audience at Carlin Hall March 25.

Shuswap Food Ac-tion Co-op is helping to link local landowners and growers into a na-tional program called Landshare Canada. The co-op recognizes there is a huge inven-tory of local land that is under-utilized, and there are growers who don’t have the land they need to grow. This program helps connect the two groups.

AprilThe Cedar Heights

Senior’s Theatre per-formed a murder mys-tery that raised more than $2,000 at the Log and hearth Restaurant; the proceeds go to the Blind Bay Bunch Team that participates in the Relay for Life.

Local Balmoral Road residents Larry and Kathy Pilcher made an application to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District to be included into the Agri-cultural Land Reserve.

Normally the board sees requests to ex-clude land, and was surprised to see this inclusion request. The application was for-warded to the Agricul-tural Land Commis-sion, which makes has the final decision on this request.

Vic Hargitt, a black-belt karate instructor, performed a demon-stration for residents

and Okanagan-Shus-wap MP Colin Mayes during the official cer-emony for the Cedar Heights Community Centre expansion.

With much help from volunteers, the Notch Hill Heritage Cemetery enjoyed a thorough clean up. Vol-unteers helped weed, rake and generally clean up the area as part of an effort to keep these historically sig-nificant areas of Notch Hill alive.

Volunteers also helped with the plant-ing of some of the planters located in downtown Sorrento.

Vance and Keri Tier-ney, owners of White Post Auto Museum, hosted their first swap meet at the museum.

The event included a display of old vehicles in addition to the sell-ing and trading of an-tique parts. It included a lunch served by the Sorrento Lions club.

White Lake Fire Department held their 32nd annual Mother’s Day pancake breakfast and craft sale at the White Lake Commu-nity Hall.

MayCommunity mem-

bers enjoyed a taste of the coast at the annual Lobsterfest held at Ce-dar Heights Commu-nity Hall.

The local Lions Club held a pancake break-fast for Father’s Day,

which included an ap-praiser’s booth setup. Artifacts and items of interest were brought to the booth to be ap-praised, in the hopes they were of significant value.

The Carlin Country Market took place at

South Shuswap in 2013n Auldin and Eve Maxwell take part in the annual Sorrento Lions Club Easter Egg Hunt.

and the businesses will have original works of art at a discounted price.

About 20 artists are part of the program, but the number of par-ticipants is expected to increase.

SportSLantern ski Saturday night

“Since when was ‘wench’ a verb?” some-one asked me. Well, ever since a number of years ago when a group of gals decided to get together on Wednes-days to ski, mostly off-set track.

A name for the group was discussed and al-literatively “Wednesday Wenches” seemed to be a good fit. So now when the call goes out “Let’s wench!” we all know that we will gather on Wednesday to ski and explore.

Our name has less to do with who we are than the fact that it is alliterative. In fact, on many occasions we have absorbed fellows who wish to join us in our adventures.

Soon after the Wednesday Wenches started their outings, a group of guys started going out on Thursdays to ski off-set track, and more recently to snow shoe. They dubbed

themselves the “Gee-zers.” I guess it is tough-er to find an alliterative name for Thursday.

I have been on many Geezer adventures. And their connection goes all year – mountain biking in the summer, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter, hiking in the shoulder seasons.

We tend to save our Thursdays for geezer-ing year round.

Larch Hills Nor-dic Society members who wish to join these wench and/or geezer outings can go to the club website and find the contact info there: www.skilarchhills.ca. It’s a great way to ex-plore our ski area.

The Santa Cruise on Sunday was a roaring success. Fifty-two ski-ers in the event, then the auction made a good chunk of money for the local food banks.

Congrats to the vol-unteers, led by Blaine Carson, for such a wonderful initial event of our ski season – and to Santa for taking the time out of his busy schedule to ski with us.

There have been quite a number of sightings of a bull moose on the trails in the past couple of weeks. First sighting was down in the play-ground area off the ca-

nine trail.Then on Monday I

talked to a couple of skiers who had seen the rump of a moose as it took off down the trail in front of them, then another gal who saw the fellow on Ermine Frolic.

To quote our website: “A bull moose seems to be browsing in our lower ski area (South Hub – Chalet area). He may be acclimatized to skiers and seem tame.

“He is a wild animal and needs to be treated respectfully and as po-tentially dangerous. Do not approach him – re-main calm and quiet and move away from him.”

More Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet history: When a group of us met in Maureen De-foe’s living room in the

fall of 1984 to discuss the prospect of a Larch Hills Marathon we took on the challenge with great enthusiasm. There weren’t many mara-thons in the province at that time so we had to essentially start from scratch.

Without computers it was a completely dif-ferent experience from the electronic world we know today – every-thing was done by hand. I remember spending many evenings in Jim’s

office photocopying en-try forms, mailing out to clubs, receiving en-try fees in the mail and keeping track of all the ins and outs in a ledger.

Timekeeping was done solely by hand/stopwatches and the re-sults were prepared by hand. Thirty years have brought many welcome advances in technology, I must say.

Tomorrow evening, Dec. 28, is the Lantern Ski. Enjoy the magic.

Think snow!

‘STAY ALIVE’Don’t Drink & Drive!

� e RCMP is making impaired driving enforcement a national priority; stepping up enforcement e� orts across the country to stop impaired drivers, beginning with an enforcement blitz on December 7, 2013. Salmon Arm Detachment is committed to this priority. In the past year the detachment has investigated 219 impaired driving instances. One is too many. � ere have been several injuries in our community that were caused by intoxicated drivers. � e youngest Salmon Arm victim was two years old at the time of her death. No one planned for this child to die. � ere was no planning at all. Should you be drinking, plan on not driving. Entering into this holiday season, many of us will be spending time with family and friends. We wish everyone has a a great holiday. It is our hope that when stand-ing at roadside, our o� cers will � nd all drivers to be sober. However, those that are not sober will be treated as a threat to the rest of us. Don’t ask for a break.Everyone has the right to come home safe.S/Sgt Kevin KeaneNCO I/C Salmon Arm Detachment

ChaseLooking back at 2013Year in review: The first six months of the year are featured this week. Next week, the remainder will run.January

A homeowner in Chase with plans to demolish his house approached the Chase fire department about using the event as a training opportunity for a controlled struc-ture fire.

The fire chief, in full support of the idea, made a presentation to Village of Chase coun-cil. Council members had much to deliber-ate as they understood what a rare opportunity this was, but they had received several letters in opposition from the community and decid-ed to table their deci-sion until more infor-mation was provided.

A lawsuit against the Village of Chase was dropped after two years. A resident, Mary Porter, filed against the village regarding the sublease of arena land to Chase Canyon Eco Adventures.

The village eventu-ally changed the lease agreement with the recreation company to

broaden the language to allow for uses per-mitted beyond ‘arena,’ which, according to Porter, didn’t include the activities the rec-reation company was operating on the land.

Chase council con-sidered regulating and requiring business li-cences for people who rent out their homes during the summer months but decided that they would not regulate this use until they had further op-portunity to discuss the topic.

Council invited Little Shuswap Indian

Band council and ad-ministration to meet informally with village council and staff to promote communica-tion and good relations between the groups.

Council plans to ex-tend the offer to Nes-konlith and Adams Lake bands in future.

Both full-time and seasonal residents of the Scotch Creek area were the targets of numerous break-ins that started before the Christmas season.

The majority of thefts were electron-ics but yard equipment and household goods

were also stolen.Lieut. Gov. Judith

Guichon stopped in Chase as part of her tour around British Co-lumbia. Her visit to the community included meeting members of Chase council, a tour of the village, and a reception at the com-munity hall, provid-ing an opportunity for residents to meet her in person.

The Chase Literacy Program hosted its Family Fun Games Night at Haldane El-ementary School.

Fresh New Year, fresh new you!

(NC) There’s no better time than the arrival of the new year to resolve to eat better. But “better” doesn’t have to mean boring; not with ample supplies of fresh blueberries, nature’s perfect “superfood”, available all winter long. Chile’s blueberry crop is being harvested right now, during the southern hemisphere’s summer, arriving in Canada fresh, juicy and just in time to ring in a healthy and delicious new year. Fresh blueberries are low in calories (just 80 calories in one cup), making them the ideal snack or ingredient to add to all kinds of recipes, like the one below -- a fresh blueberry smoothie that can serve as a nutritious start to the day or a midday boost. In addition to that sweet and tangy flavor and maxi-mum convenience, what’s great about blueberries is the powerful nutritional punch they pack: research

has shown that the polyphenols in fresh blueberries not only help prevent certain cancers, but these anti-oxidant-rich little blue dynamos* can help reduce the risk of heart disease, and their abundant anti-inflam-matory properties can help skin stay looking younger longer. With all this going for them, there’s no reason not to make fresh blueberries from Chile part of any New Year’s resolution. Fresh blueberries from Chile are grown according to the highest standards for product quality and purity, meeting or exceeding all Canadian government regula-tions. State-of-the-art packing and exporting methods ensure that the blueberries you find in the supermarket are fresh, ripe and ready to help get the new year off to a healthy start.

Berry blue smoothieIngredients:2 cups fresh or slightly thawed frozen Chilean

blueberries1 6-ounce container low-fat vanilla or other flavored

yogurt1 cup fruit juice, such as orange, pineapple or apple1 tablespoon honey or sugar, more or less to taste

Instructions:Place blueberries, yogurt, juice and honey in a blender. Whirl until smooth. Serve immediately.

Serves: 3

“Let me help you

with your New Year’s resolutions to lose weight and get

healthier.”

Events included a family skate at the Art Holding Memorial Arena and games to promote literacy.

Although Chase Heat lost 4-3 to North Okanagan Knights they went home satis-fied that they blocked 47 shots on goal; while a game against Grand Forks Border Bruins saw the Heat fire 50 shots on goal with only two going in, to lose the game 3-2.

FebruaryTwo public informa-

tion meetings were held regarding the proposed four laning of the Trans Canada Highway from Kamloops to the Al-berta border, including Chase. The purpose of the meetings was to receive public in-put to help Ministry of Transportation and In-frastructure determine what sections of high-way are a priority for expansion.

The government has allotted $650 million towards the project, which is not enough for the entire length of the TCH and could also mean the section between Chase and Kamloops may not be done if it’s not deemed a priority.

Architectural and environmental plan-ner Raymond Visser presented the final proposal for the expan-sion and upgrade of Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park at the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band office on Feb. 17.

Proposed upgrades include increased fa-cilities, including flush toilets, a formal recep-tion area and more parking. The park, which is considered one of the five major parks in British Co-lumbia had more than 155,000 visitors in September and Octo-ber of 2010 to watch the salmon run.

The proposed Rud-dock Creek mining site located about 150 miles northeast of Kamloops has fi-

nally caught the atten-tion of Ramsey Hart, a Canadian program co-ordinator for Min-ingWatch, a national non-profit organization based in Ontario. Hart gave three presenta-tions to Shuswap resi-dents on Feb. 11, one at Neskonlith Indian Band Hall and two at the Chase Community Hall.

Concerned citizens had contacted Ramsey a couple of years ago, but he had not had an opportunity to respond previously.

Fire Chief Art Stoll presented Scotch Creek resident and volunteer firefighter, Doug Kilbak with the Firefighter of the Year award. The award is given to the firefight-er who has excelled throughout the year and goes an extra step beyond what everyone is doing. Stoll says he chose Kilbak because of his eagerness to take control and his initia-tive.

Village of Chase confirmed that the new Chase wharf will also be red, at the public’s insistence. The council is still not sure if the wharf will be made of wood or metal.

Chase residents re-ceived an apology from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for the unexpected and un-scheduled avalanche blasts on Feb. 1. RCMP recorded sever-al calls from concerned residents about loud noises, some thought someone was walk-ing through the streets shooting a gun.

Due to an unstable snow pack threaten-ing the Trans- Canada Highway, the techni-cians had to respond immediately, with no time to inform the pub-lic.

MarchThe Village of Chase

council allotted $500 to the Working Togeth-er Pow Wow Society as a first step towards reconnecting with the local bands; the funds were taken from the

2013 Grant In Aid fund.

The Village of Chase heard bad news re-garding their request for Community Infra-structure Improvement Funds from the prov-ince; the village was denied the funds.

As a result of the Chase Literacy Pro-gram learning they may not receive fund-ing from the province this year, council voted to send a letter regard-ing budget cuts to 55 community literacy task groups to the Min-istry of Education. Fif-ty-five other communi-ties across B.C. were also warned they may not receive funding.

Lakehead helicop-ters dropped eggs off at Haldane School Easter morning for local chil-dren to collect.

Seven young ladies vying for the Miss Chase crown presented themselves to the com-munity on March 2 – Brenna White, Miss Legion Ladies Auxilia-ry Br. 107; Marci Phil-lip, Miss Neskonlith Indian Band; Savanah August, Miss Rotary;

Kiana Arnouse, Miss Adams Lake Indian Band; Shyleigh Thies-sen, Miss People’s Food and Drug; Naomi O’Dine, Miss Lions Club, and Kate Mil-ner, Miss Safety Mart Foods.

As part of the com-petition, each girl pre-sented 10 facts about themselves and mod-elled an apron they designed. The aprons were then auctioned off to the highest bid-der with the funds go-ing towards new shoes and ‘tea outfits’ includ-ing jackets, skirts and blouses.

Chase was not cho-sen to be part of the new physician recruit-ment drive where doc-tors are being offered $100,000 bonuses to relocate to certain rural communities.

Princeton and Clear-water were funded for two general prac-titioners and Nakusp received funding for one within the Inte-rior Health Authority boundary.

North Shuswap Di-rector, Larry Morgan, asked staff to prepare a

draft bylaw for vicious dog control after sev-eral complaints were made throughout the community. The esti-mated cost for the en-forcement service for the area is $13,900.

Chase Minor Base-ball League added two new divisions this year, blastball for children born in 2008, a game intended to be fun and enthusiastic, and girls softball.

AprilA CP Rail train

caught on fire on VLA Road on April 23.

The courses included hands-on fieldwork and upon completion of the courses, partici-pants were provided with a wetland keeper certificate.

Okanagan-Shus -wap MP Colin Mayes awarded the Adams Lake Indian Band $11,650 for upgrades to two community buildings. The funds came from the Com-munity Infrastructure Improvement Fund. The improvements include new stained siding, and a new roof for the administration building and the com-munity resource cen-tre.

James murray/market news

Salmon Arm Coun-cil is not currently in-terested in moving the city’s tourism infor-mation centre out of downtown.

Coun. Chad Eliason asked that Mayor Nan-cy Cooper respond to a letter copied to the city from Gary Arsenault of Green Emerald Invest-ments Inc.

The letter comments on ongoing discussion between Arsenault and representatives of the city, the chamber

and the Economic De-velopment Society re-garding the potential to move the information centre from the Old Courthouse on Hud-son Avenue, to a city owned lot near Bucker-field’s on the west end of town.

“One potential for the city would be to sell the excess lands to Full Circle Shop-ping Centres for use as a tourist centre,” states Arsenault.

Eliason said the idea for the move was float-ed at a chamber meet-ing, but is not being

considered by the city. “We have a lease

right now,” said Elia-son. “If it was the case, it would be an in-cam-era meeting, and we would be discussing all the land, legal and la-bour issues in camera, and this isn’t the case.

“This letter here, considering the people who are mentioned and CCd, it looks like everybody is in favour. And though I can’t speak for the EDS, I can certainly say at this table we have not de-cided we are in favour of this or to relocate it.”

Robert Babakaiff of Arro Wood Heat Services has been in business for 5 years. A 45-year resident of Salmon Arm, he believes in buying his products locally.

After being laid off from Coe/Newnes, he saw there was a need for a reliable wood heat technician. He became certified in the WETT program – which is a Canadian recognized association, allowing him to be able to inspect, install and maintain wood burning stoves and fireplaces.

His services include chimney sweeping, estimates and advice on purchasing and installation of wood burning stoves, such as size needed for the square footage, and the best stove to meet your needs. Robert’s motto “Burning Clean = More Green” not only refers to the money saved when keeping your stove or fireplace maintained, it also refers to the environment, as the new stoves burn cleaner and more efficiently.

Repeat customers are spreading the word of his fair pricing and thorough job.

For all your wood heat needs, call Robert today for an estimate.

Salmon Arm Observer Friday, December 27, 2013 www.saobserver.net B9

Ronald Hudson Turner was born in Salmon Arm on August 16. 1913. He died after a short illness in the Shuswap Lake Hospi-tal on December 9, 2013 at the age of 100 years and 115 days.

Ronald (Ronnie) was the third of four children born to Robert and Maude (McGuire) Turner. Edward ,Marjorie and Alexander (Sandy) all predeceased him. The mother of his children, June Johnson (Gillis) died in December, 1999. Left to enjoy the wonderful memories of this amazing man are his children, Robert & (Ev-elyn) (Stewart), Glenna &(Gary Thors), and Janice & (John Grave)., three grandchildren, Michael , Mi-chelle and Shannon and three great grandchildren, Hayden, Emily and Malaya. He is also survived by life long friend, Norah McDiamid and will be missed by nieces, Patricia, Jennifer, Pat and Tere-sa and their families who made regular trips from afar to visit him He was one of the two remaining grandsons of Sarah Agnes Hudson and Alexander McGuire. Cousin, George McGuire at 98 years, lives in Victoria.

Ronnie was born into a home located where the Service B.C. building currently sits, amongst a growing orchard started by his father in 1896. In-cluding the time he was going to school, he spent thirty years working for his father’s company, R. Turner & Sons. It would have been much longer had it not been for the bitter winter of 1949/50 commonly known as the “Big Freeze” which hit the Shuswap orchardists very hard. In 1953 Ron-nie left his fathers dream behind him and started a new chapter in his own life. He became employed by the B.C. Dept. of Hwys in a career that would take him to his retirement in 1975. During his ten-ure with the Dept. of Hwys. he worked in Vernon, Revelstoke ( Rogers Pass) and then to the Fraser Canyon where he stayed for a number of years. In 1964 he was moved to Campbell River and then Gold River where he loved to go fishing in Nootka Sound. Lake Cowichan was the next stop and then back to the mainland to Honeymoon Creek and fi-nally Langley. Wherever he ended up, he took an intense interest in the local history. After his moth-er, Maude died in 1978, Ronnie moved back to Salmon Arm into the house they had built for her 25 years before. He started planting fruit trees again and was soon back to what he loved best, tending to his little orchard. He was fondly referred to as “the Plum Man”. Nothing fancy; weigh your fruit on a 100 year old scale, put your money in an old tobacco can. This carried on right up until the last Italian prune plum was picked for the season 2013.

Ronnie loved to travel and he managed to touch down on every continent but Antartica. His last trip was in 1996 back to his father’s homeland, North-ern Ireland. With only a postcard sent to his family some 90 before from his uncle to go by, he and daughter Glenna, set off to the old country to seek out any relatives that might be still alive there. With very little trouble (thanks to the postcard) they were able to locate his Uncles’ son, another Robert Turn-er. The lines of communication between the fami-lies remains today.

In addition to traveling to far away lands, Ronnie enjoyed hiking, fishing, reading and stamp collect-ing. He made enough jam and jelly from his own fruit to keep all his family supplied and anyone else who happened to be there. He loved to have his grandchildren around and taught them to play crib at a very early age. There was never a family gather without the crib board appearing. The terms “Mor-gan’s Orchard ( two pair) and “You couldn’t stack hay” will ring on in our family for ever.

Ronnie’s Celebration of Life was held at Bowers Funeral Chapel on Saturday December 14, 2013, interment took place at Mount Ida Cemetery.

Email condolences may be sent through Ron-nie’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

RONALD HUDSON TURNER

Ruby Jeanette Foley died peacefully on December 11, 2013 in Lumby, British Columbia, just short of her 97th birthday. Ruby spent her life looking after others. She has earned her rest.

She was born in Brightview, Alberta, the second youngest of nine children of Olaf and Hilma Olson. Ruby was the last surviving child. She was predeceased by her siblings and her husband Percy Foley. Her family moved to B.C. in 1927 where Ruby attended school in Mission and Vancouver. She was perhaps most proud of her service in the RCAF during the last years of WW II. She served in both Canada and Great Britain. In 1954, Ruby married Percy Foley in Surrey BC. She worked for Sears for many years before moving to Seymour Arm in 1969 where she and Percy became active members of the community and developed lasting friendships. In those days, they had to get their water from Shuswap Lake, and electricity was provided by their own diesel generator. She ran a small gift shop and occasionally rented out small cabins. The Foley’s moved briefly to Vernon where Percy died of cancer in 1988. At the age of 73, Ruby moved back to her home in her beloved Seymour Arm and reopened her gift shop. She donated all profits from the store to the school children in the community. She then lived for several years in Salmon Arm where she was an active volunteer at Haney House. Finally, she moved back to Vernon where she lived at the Vernon Restholm for fourteen years. During her time there she was very active in Tai Chi until her health forced her to give it up. Her last week was spent at a care home in Lumby.

Right to the end of her life, Ruby was actively concerned with seniors’ issues. She was an amazing woman.

Ruby is survived by her Vernon family: her niece Doreen Millar (Barry), Stacy Fuhr (Mike), and Karla Fuhr; her niece Leslie Ostafew (Shon);and by many nieces and nephews in Canada and abroad.

At Ruby’s request, there will not be a service. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to Hospice House, 3506-27th Avenue, Vernon, B. C. V1T 1S4.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 4333.
