Typhoon Haiyan may be out of the news headlines, but it re-mains in the hearts and minds of people in the Shuswap.

The Pulsifers are one Salmon Arm family which thinks daily of the Philippines.

Lib Pulsifer was raised in Manila, about an hour’s flight north of Tacloban, a city of a quarter million peo-ple that was flattened by the typhoon. Lib’s family immigrated to Canada in 1979 to escape the Marcos re-gime.

Her father Justo An-geles lives in Toronto but has been visiting in Salmon Arm. He was born in Tacloban.

Lib says her family has distant relatives on

her grandmother’s side in Tacloban, as well as family, extended fam-ily and friends in Ma-nila.

The Pulsifers visit the Philippines regu-larly.

“My father was ask-ing me how he could connect and find out what happened to them,” Lib says of the relatives in Tacloban.

There’s no power there, points out Craig, Lib’s spouse.

“It’s something, I think, we fail to grasp –it’s going to be years to recover. It’s not like, ‘I did my bit and it’s on to the next.’”

Asked how the ty-phoon has affected him living in Canada, Lib’s father says, through her:

“He feels very sorry for the people that have lost loved ones and for the people that are af-fected, have lost their homes. There is this feeling of overwhelm-ing helplessness be-cause we’re so far, but he says he’s hoping that the help will get to them and it’s so impor-tant that we help out. He’s very thankful to the community money

that was raised here and was sent.”

Lib and Craig both say they have been amazed by Salmon Arm residents’ gener-osity.

“It’s humanity reaching out, and that just warms my heart,” says Lib.

More than $7,000 has been raised locally, $3,000 of that from bottle and can recy-cling alone, the Pulsi-fers say.

The funds go to the disaster relief fund of Action International Ministries.

According to its web-site, “Action works... to reach people for Christ (evangelism), train them in Christian living (discipleship), and assist them in their physical and economic needs (development).”

The Pulsifers will be heading to the Philip-pines in January – and paying for their own airline tickets, they em-phasize – where they can put funds directly into the hands of aid workers.

To help, residents may drop off cans and bottles at Hanna & Hanna’s, donate online

or, to give funds direct-ly, email Lib at lib@telus.net.

Dudley has taken to walking on two legs like other ducks would to water.

On Wednesday, Dec. 18, Dudley the call duck’s right limb was fitted with a prosthetic leg and foot. By Friday, Dudley’s owner and caretaker, Debbie For-tin of K9-1-1 Animal Rescue and Services, said the little water fowl was walking on both legs as though he had them his whole life.

“He also thinks now that he has a leg, he can run away,” laughs For-tin. “When we go to get him now for his bath, because he still has to have rehab, instead of just sitting there and letting us pick him up, he’ll try and run away, and he’s very success-ful at it but he’s in a confined area. It’s re-ally good to see that happen because before he couldn’t.”

Dudley lost his foot and part of his leg when he was a wee duckling. Not long after, Fortin’s son, Brandon Sch-weitzer contacted his friend Terence Loring, a mechanical engineer who recently started his own Kamloops-based company, 3 Pillar De-signs. Loring special-izes in 3D architecture and design and paid the duckling a visit, decid-ing to take on the chal-lenge of designing a prosthetic leg.

Loring came up with a few different designs and two models, with the actual printing of prosthetics being done by Canadian company Proto3000. The first design was at a wrong angle and more com-plex than needed.

“I thought I’d try to make it very realistic, but it just made it su-per cumbersome, so I decided to go back to something very simple and build on that,” says Loring. “At least we got him walking, and if need be we can do something a little more complex. But at this

point, at least he’s got his balance and every-thing.”

Loring and Pro-to3000 donated all of their time and materi-als for the project, for which Fortin is grateful.

Dudley is still getting used to moving on the new leg, with some sur-faces and obstacles that he was used to going over with one leg pos-ing a bit of a challenge. But, in general, Fortin says he’s getting around better and his health is improving as a result.

“He also now is us-ing his wings more because he’s more up-right so he’s able to flap them fully open,” says Fortin. “We had to clip his wings so he doesn’t fly, but he has his flight wings so he spreads them and flaps them because he can stand up and be like a real duck. He seems pretty proud.”

A remaining chal-

lenge is the fastening of the prosthetic to Dud-ley’s stub – something more secure is needed.

“We’re looking into a strap or something to hold the actual leg on his stump,” says For-tin. “That’s a transi-tion we’re making too, but we’ve got several people trying to come up with ideas that won’t stop circulation… you can see it’s doable.”

When news of his humane design proj-ect broke, Loring said he received calls from other people with in-jured animals, includ-ing someone with an emu that had lost its leg. Loring was inter-ested in taking on the project; however, due to other complications, the animal had to be put down. And while his curriculum vitae includes much larger design projects, Loring is enthusiastic about his work with Fortin

and Dudley, and how he was able to have a positive impact on both their lives.

“A lot of people say it’s trivial, and in some ways it might be, but a lot of people really care for this little animal, so I guess that’s why I re-ally wanted to take this on,” says Loring. “If they think it’s impor-tant enough, well, why not?”

As someone who cares for animals pro-fessionally, Fortin says her eyes are now wide open to the world of 3D printing and the poten-tial benefits the technol-ogy can offer animals and humans alike.

“There’s lots of pos-sibilities and I know we can’t look at funding those things because we don’t have the financial backing, but just know-ing that it is possible to do that gives us a lot more insight as to what we can do,” says Fortin.

Sicamous district council plans to put pressure on the Agri-culture Land Commis-sion to get around its application process to use local agricultural land for a motorcycle event.

Last year, the district submitted an applica-tion to the commission so that the community dog park, which is cur-rently in the Agricul-tural Land Reserve, could be used for the Summer Stomp motor-cycle rally and concert.

Anticipating this will be an annual event in Sicamous, district com-munity planning of-ficer Mike Marrs says the district is working with the ALC to figure out a way around hav-ing to make an annual application. He did not state the district is seeking to remove the land from the reserve.

In September, coun-cil met and raised the matter with Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm. In a Nov. 12 letter to coun-cil, Pimm states that in order to use ALR land for a non-farm use like music festivals, an ap-plication to the ALC must be made.

He said the B.C. government “does not have any involvement in individual applica-tions or decisions made

by the ALC.” However, the minis-

ter goes on to say the province is currently undergoing a core re-view of all government agencies and activities, and that Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett, who is over-seeing the review, has indicated the Agricul-tural Land Reserve will be a part of the review.

Pimm and Bennett recently came under fire when cabinet doc-uments were leaked outlining a strategy to break up the ALR into two zones, one that would cover the Lower Mainland, Fraser Val-ley and the Okanagan, and a northern zone where the Oil and Gas Commission would play a greater role in ALR land removal ap-plications.

District administra-tor Heidi Frank told council the news has prompted division among local govern-ments – those calling for greater protection of the ALC, and those wanting change.

There is a similar division among Si-camous councillors.

“Being a new coun-cillor, I’m not sure what the previous view is, but I like the ALC,” commented Suzanne Carpenter.

“I know how it works and I think I’m probably not with ev-

erybody here, but boy, we have to protect our lands, because we need food in the future, we need food for our chil-dren, we need a stable industry. If we didn’t have this, half those orchards would be sold off.”

Coun. Don Richard-son was of a different mindset, saying the commission is more of a hinderance than good.

“Up in the hills where I live with a bunch of rocks, that is not farm-land,” said Richardson. “And yet, I’m com-pelled by a whole lot of bureaucratic dumbness to comply with this stuff. What we are say-ing is you guys need to revisit your boundar-ies. Because way back in whatever, they just took a map and made a bunch of lines and said, ‘this is ALR.’”

Coun. Terry Rysz agreed with Richard-son on the need for a review of the ALR. Speaking specifically to Sicamous’ situa-tion, he recommended council send a delega-tion to meet with the minister to reiterate the district’s concerns.

Coun. Fred Busch said what the district is asking isn’t necessarily going to take the dog park out of the land commission.

“All we’re ask-ing is if we can have

this music festival… the Stomp, on those premises,” said Busch. “That is not necessarily saying that in the fu-ture, this land couldn’t once again go back to growing corn or alfalfa or whatever crops that

it used to have. I think there is that differ-ence… we’re not going to be putting up houses or paving it over, at least I assume that’s not what we’re going to be doing, paving it over.”

Snowshoeing, biking, kayaking – what’s with some of these older people nowadays? If they’re not out jogging in packs or cross-country skiing, they’re whipping along on their 27-speed hybrid comfort bikes or “nordic walking” with those darned ski poles.

Go to the community cen-tre and they’re either play-ing pickle ball or in the pool taking part in some aqua-fit program. You can’t go any-where without having to dodge some senior trying to keep fit. I don’t get it. I get out of breath just trying to cut my lawn with a power mower, never mind shovel-ling the darned sidewalk. As far as I’m concerned there’s too much snow, I don’t like the cold and winter is too long.

What ever happened to growing old gracefully, with some dignity, doing things like reminiscing about the good-old days or knitting slipper-socks? It seems like every time you turn around there is some new, keep-fit activity for seniors being advertised in the local newspapers or

being promoted by groups like the Canadian Heart and Stroke Association or Cancer Society. Yoga for seniors, dance classes, Tai Chi. Where is it going to end?

The other day I read an ar-ticle about some guy in his nineties that plays hockey several times a week. Mind you, I don’t know how fast-paced the games are because most of his team-mates are in their seventies and eighties. My point is, more and more so-called older people are taking part in more and more activities and programs designed to keep them active, healthy and happy. It’s hard to keep up – no pun intended.

On the other hand, regu-

lar physical activity is one of the most important things a person can do for their health.

Regular exercise can help prevent many of the health problems that come with old age. Medical research has shown that, no mat-ter what your age, you can gain significant improve-ments in strength, range of motion, balance, bone density and mental clarity through a routine of regular exercise. Studies have also shown that exercise can help reduce the risk of nu-merous diseases and health conditions, including can-cer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, dementia and depression.

The goal of an exercise routine, especially in one’s later years, should be the same as for all those young people you see out trying to get ahead of the old fogies – strength, cardiovascular health, flexibility and bal-ance.

The trick, though, to any exercise program is to be not only realistic but also smart about it. A prevent-able injury can put an older

person out of commission for a lot longer than when they were younger.

No matter how old or young you are, proper form and technique are key to avoiding injury. Always avoid the temptation to overdo things in terms of both workout length and intensity.

Exercise can quite liter-ally add years onto your life. Exercising increases your metabolism, which helps keep your weight and blood sugar in check, and certain types of exercise also helps build and main-tain your muscles, which in turn helps maintain bal-ance which helps to prevent falls.

While exercise can sometimes be a test of both strength and will, it should not be seen as a chore – with the possible exception of shovelling the side walk.

After all, the whole point of exercising should be about enjoying life rather than simply maintaining it. So if you can’t beat them, you might as well join them. Anyone want to go snowshoing?

Changes needed to pension program

Recently the Conservative federal govern-ment opted not to address the very urgent and growing problem that is the Canadian Pension Plan.

Instead offering any sort of meaningful reform or choosing to adequately fund CPP so that Canadians can expect to be taken care of – after having spent a lifetime of paying taxes – the Conservatives instead opted to do noth-ing, and presumably hope the problem just goes away. It’s no secret that CPP is under-funded. And given the country’s demographics – with millions of Canadians facing retirement in coming years – this is an issue that can’t be put off any longer. Seniors now make up close to 15 per cent of Canada’s population, totalling more than 4 million people. The issue is clear to see: Canadians are living longer and, as a result, drawing on CPP more than in genera-tions past. As result, we need to do a better job of funding CPP if we want it to work.

Finance minister Jim Flaherty needn’t worry about his own financial future, of course. As an MP who has served more than six years in the house of commons, Flaherty has a gold-plated taxpayer-funded pension to draw on for the rest of his life, upon his retirement.

The rest of us aren’t so lucky.Adequately funding CPP is the fiscally

responsible thing to do, but it is also politically difficult. As a result, the Conservatives have taken the easy way out, opting for the instant gratification of low taxes in the present at the cost of a stable future for our citizens.

And isn’t that how we got into this mess in the first place?

JulyBruce and Laura

and their son Grant Nyeste displayed their handcrafted pottery at the High Country Pot-tery Sale at Sorrento Memorial Hall. The family has owned their small pottery shop called Mud Sweat and Tears in Blind Bay since moving to Can-ada from New Zealand in 1981.

Elvis impersonator Adam Fitzpatrick per-formed at Shuswap Lake Estates in the Louisiana Hayride concert. Other acts in-cluded the music of Loretta Lynne, Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline as the impersonators performed the re-en-actment of the hit ra-dio show that ran from 1948 to 1960 in Loui-siana. 

Families enjoyed the festivities during the Eagle Bay Day event held at Eagle Bay Hall.

Notch Hill hosted its first annual dog show this year. Vernon RCMP spoke about their dog training pro-gram. Kelowna’s Ber-nie Quist gave dem-onstrations with her service dog, Jackson.

People’s Choice awards were an-nounced after the Blind Bay Painters Art Show held on the Can-ada Day weekend in Blind Bay. First place was awarded to Fran Lewis for “Lengthen-

ing Shadows,” second to Carrie George for “Down on the Farm” and third to Carrie George for “Standing Alone.”

Tappen and Shus-wap volunteer fire departments and the South Shuswap First Responders gathered at the Carlin Elemen-tary School parking lot to meet each other and learn how each other operates. The different groups would all likely be called to duty in the

event of a large fire, so knowing each other and practising together in mock scenarios al-lows for better com-munication and less confusion should such an event happen.

AugustShuswap Zone 8 was

well represented at the BC Seniors Games as they brought home the second highest number of medals – 122 gold, 105 silver and 103 bronze for a total of 330. They were topped only by Fraser Valley Zone 3 who took home 403 medals.

Jean Jenks, rep-resenting Sorrento, competed in two cy-cling events, plac-ing fifth in one and fourth in the 70-74 age group hill climb. Mary Pakka from Sorrento competed in three 80-84 age group cy-cling events and took

home gold in all three. James Roberts, Wolf-gang Heinzman, Fred Home, Bill Jackson, Paulette McKinnon, and Linda MacPherson all won several medals

Judy Coutts and Judy Mackenzie, sisters-in-law and artists, held an art show at recently opened Reedman Gal-lery. The gallery is lo-cated in the lower level of the Blind Bay Hall.

The Nimble Fingers workshop was held for the 24th year as bluegrass lovers from across North America came to Sorrento for the weeklong event.

The South Shuswap Branch of the Okana-gan Regional Library asked for the commu-nity’s input on what they thought would be the best hours of opera-tion.

The library hours were 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Tues-days and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays. People had the option of fill-ing out the survey in person or online.

SeptemberIn co-operation with

BC Cancer Founda-tion, the new non-profit South Shuswap Health Services Soci-ety brought a mobile mammogram unit to Blind Bay. The soci-ety wanted to ensure that South Shuswap women had the oppor-tunity to get screened for breast cancer.

The Shuswap Scot-tish Dancers wel-

comed students as they returned to the dance floor. Classes ran until mid-April.

Popular bluegrass musician and local Sorrento man, Gene Bretecher, was mourn-ed by the community following his death. Seventy-four-year-old Bretecher fell out of his boat about 30 me-tres from the shore on Shuswap Lake and, despite quick response from help nearby,

could not be resusci-tated.

Volunteers gathered to help with the annual Cedar Heights clean-up.

In addition to show-casing her work, world renowned quilter, Catherine Nicholls, hosted a quilting work-shop at the Sorrento Centre. Participants in the workshop ex-perimented with dif-ferent quilting fabrics and created their own

original works. Nich-olls spends much of her time teaching and showing her art in Brit-ain and Europe.

The Carlin auction was held at Carlin Hall with locals pick-ing through random consignment items, in-cluding antiques, fur-niture and collectibles. The Burnette family has continued to host the event over the last few years since set-tling in the Shuswap. The family has seen increased interest in auctions since televi-sion shows like Bag-gage Wars and Storage Wars.

The Cedar Centre celebrated its grand re-opening after 173 days of renovations. The centre’s upgrades were made possible by $400,000 in grants and personal donations and more than 5,000 hours of volunteer labour. The centre has long been a key location for hosting community events, and

the renovations help in making it even more functional and inviting to all groups.

NovemberThe South Shuswap

Cold Canadian winter not slowing down dedicated runners(NC) While some spend winter hiber-nating on the couch, a growing number of Canadians are hit-ting the snow-covered streets for thrilling – and certainly “chill-ing” – runs. Foregoing the warmth of a gym’s treadmill, these run-ners view winter’s cold and unpredictable conditions as part of the fun. However, ex-perts do advise winter runners to take the necessary precautions to stay protected from both the elements and traffic. “It’s important for winter runners to wear footwear that is reflective, warm and water-resistant,” says Claire Rankine, Com-munications Director at Nike Canada.

“This way you won’t have to cut your run short if you step in slush or deep snow, and you remain highly visible to drivers who might not expect to see someone out run-ning in the cold.” Rankine recom-mends the Nike Flash Pack, a water repel-

lant line of shoes that sport a unique reflec-tive print that hides subtly during the day before coming alive under nighttime lights to help runners stay visible. She also advises winter runner to dress warmly and wear mul-tiple layers.

“One challenge of winter running is find-ing, and remaining at, the right level of warmth in changing climates,” says Ran-kine. “You’ll want to find a water-resistant, reflective coat that in-tegrates special details tailored for runners such as hand warm-

ers that pull down from the sleeves and runner-specific hoods that stay put to help keep ears warm in in-clement weather.” To stay motivated during Canada’s long winter, Rankine also recommends a Nike+ FuelBand SE, which allows her to keep track of runs and compare her progress with friends. “Wearing reflective footwear and jackets to stay warm and dry will help keep you running throughout the winter,” says Ran-kine, “but it’s always much easier when you can share your prog-ress with friends and cheer each other on.” More information is available online at nike.com.www.newscanada.com

Maintain your health with Vitamin B12 Vitamin B-12, also called cobala-min, is a water-soluble vitamin, one of the eight B vitamins. Vitamin B12 is a unique vitamin because it cannot be made by plants or higher animals (such as mammals and birds) but only by microorganisms (such as bacteria and fungi). For this reason, many of our dietary sources of this vitamin do not actually synthesize it themselves. Most vitamin B12 in foods is bound to proteins that must be cleaved before absorption. These proteins are removed in the

stomach via acids and the enzyme pepsin (an example of protease). The absorption and utilization of B12 re-quires adequate calcium, B6 and iron. Together with folic acid, vitamin B12 is vital to energy production, immune function and maintenance of nerve tissue. It is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the hu-man body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation. Vitamin B12 increases the body’s supply of our sleep hormone, melatonin, and is necessary for the conversion of beta-carotene

into vitamin A in the body. Many el-derly people are thought to be deficient in this vitamin as a result of poor as-similation. A sublingual tablet, which dissolves under the tongue, bypasses the stomach and does not require a spe-cial enzyme, intrinsic factor, for proper absorption. The body stores a supply of Vitamin B12 that can last from two years to five years. Vitamin B12 is best known for its treatment of anemia and fatigue.

ChaseTaking a look back at 2013Year in review: The last six months of the year are featured this week. July

Five local First Na-tions’ bands: Adams Lake, Neskonlith, Splats’in, Little Shus-wap and Kamloops, all participated in the Pull-ing Together Canoe journey this year. For the past 12 years, First Nations groups with RCMP, choose differ-ent routes on B.C. wa-ters to paddle together in an effort to break down the barriers be-tween police and First Nations. This year the event started in Ender-by with a Sunrise Cer-emony with canoes hit-ting the water at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 27. They continued on to St. Ives, Celista, Quaaout Lodge, Chase and Pritchard, and fin-ished off in Kamloops, seven days later, in time to participate in the Kamloops Pow wow. The journey in-cluded three different bodies of water and more than 110 kilome-tres paddled.

The second annual Summer Salmon Fes-tival was held at Rod-

erick Haig-Brown Park and was hosted by the Adams River Salmon Society. The event was a success with a bicycle parade, prizes for best costumes and all day entertainment. Ralph McBryan shared the tale of Coyote and Buffalo.

School District #73 considers a new Lead-

ership Program for its schools and mi-nor hockey teams in Chase. The program would expand the hockey academy that already exists within the Chase Second-ary School to include players in grades five, six, and seven. There would also be further expansion for the older

players by opening up the Haldane Annex building, which has been closed for sev-eral years, and turning it into an academy for student hockey players. Training would include on-and-off ice time with specialty speed skating lessons, as well as life skills lessons in respect and account-

ability worked into the program. The program would be open to both boys and girls interest-ed in hockey.

Chase resident Mitch Hewitt won the memorial trophy at the Canadian Stihl Tim-bersports event. He had won other years as well

Chase year in reviewbut this was a special year as the trophy was awarded in the name of the late Chase lum-berjack, Peter Colliver, who Hewitt knew well.  Brock Colliver, the son of Peter Colliver, won the final event of the day.

The Memorial Park Wharf grand open-ing was held July 27. Residents watched the official ribbon cutting, a bagpipe performance and were given time to reflect on the memo-ries they had for the old red wharf. 

Pritchard welcomed the new Eco-Depot at its grand opening on July 31.

AugustAir Cadet Shael

Huska from Chase earned his glider pilot licence this summer. He spent the summer at the Regional Gliding School in Comox tak-ing classes and flying the Schweizer 2-33A gliders before being presented with his wings.

Seventy players vied for a spot on the team as the Chase Heat main camp started up at the end of the month. In the past, the camp was held much earlier, but the coach tried a new strategy this year by hosting the camp closer to the hockey season. Every player had to earn a spot on the team as all posi-tions are up for grabs. The coach has a very specific goal this year – to win.

Shuswap Zone 8 was represented well at the BC Seniors Games as they brought home the second-most med-als – 122 gold, 105 silver, and 103 bronze, totally 330. They were beaten only by Fraser Valley Zone 3 which took home 403 med-als. Linda Shilling, Ingrid Whalley, Tony James Haas, Linda Haas, Andy McLaren, Norma Bischoff and Lorna Beecroft all represented Chase and area well as they all

brought home medals in several events.

Chase and District Museum opens its doors to the public for art classes this fall. Instructor Joey Nash works with students of all levels and mediums by focusing on the tal-ent of each individual so that everyone learns and thrives. 

Jacob Verberg and Little Steph perform at Friday Nights Live at the Centre Mall in Scotch Creek.

Event organizer Di-ana Endean was very pleased with the turn-out and success of the fourth annual Corn-Stock Festival held in Chase. A combination of great weather, great volunteers and com-mittee, sponsors, par-ticipants, vendors and entertainers is credited for the success.

Historically this time of year would see the Chase RCMP detach-ment cracking down on marijuana grow-ops also known as the annual “harvesting” crackdown. However, for the second year in a row, the detachment didn’t have the bud-get for the manpower and time to search for grow-ops in the area. RCMP still actively investigated and per-formed seizures, just on a smaller scale.

Chase RCMP added a Harley Davidson

Road King motorcycle to their fleet to help with cracking down on road safety and enforc-ing traffic laws during

the busy summer.

SeptemberA wood pellet manu-

facturing facility was proposed at the Sept. 10 council meeting. Pinnacle Renewable Energy spoke as a delegation to council for the facility which would be located on the former mill site on Aylmer Road. The plant would be pro-cessing and packaging forest and wood prod-ucts.

Chase year in reviewing traffic stops in the Pritchard area on two separate occasions. Chase police searched the area but did not find the suspect. There were reports of similar incidents throughout the province.

The Chase and Dis-trict Chamber of Com-merce hosted a “Busi-ness Brainstorming” session as an oppor-tunity for all business owners to bring ideas on how to make Chase a better place and fur-ther the economic de-velopment to the com-munity.

Almost 21 per cent of BC Hydro’s cus-tomers in Chase have chosen to go the on-line billing route rather than paper billing.

The Chase Creekside Seniors building, lo-cated at 542 Shuswap Avenue in Chase turns 100 years old this year. The building has had several owners since it was built in 1913. It was originally used as the local BC Provincial Police, then a BC For-estry office. In 1964, it became the meeting place for Chase OAPA and finally in 2009 the Chase Creekside Se-nior Centre clubhouse.

The Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge held a pancake breakfast to raise money for the 60- plus donkeys they care for as well as to allow supporters to see where their money goes. 

Chase Heat exhibi-tion games began this month as head coach Brad Fox and his team cut down the numbers from 70 players to cre-ate a team.  Twenty teams are part of the KIJHL league this year.

Anglemont Estates Golf Club hosted its Men’s Club Champi-onship Tournament and Final Dinner the second weekend in September to finish up the season.

Chase hosted its 33rd annual Terry Fox Run with 44 walkers, runners and cyclists participating, plus the Chase Volunteer Fire

Department and the Chase Heat hockey team. More than $450 was raised from the event.

The community was invited to celebrate BC River’s Day with the Adams River Society. The event included a paddle trip from McK-ay Bay to the mouth of the Adams River.

OctoberA logging truck

overturned and lost its entire load when the driver rounded the corner at the intersec-tion of the Trans-Can-ada Highway and the Squilax-Anglemont Road; rescue crews helped right the truck as RCMP controlled road traffic around the scene.

Chase council de-

cided to delay a deci-sion on a rezoning ap-plication for a pellet plant so that a second public hearing could be scheduled. Council recognized that this proposal is a concern for locals and wants to hear further comments from the public before making a final deci-sion.

Council agreed to waive fees for the Chase Walking Group for the use of the com-munity hall three days a week.

The village park’s and facilities bylaw was amended to pro-hibit overnight boat moorage at the Memo-rial Park wharf.

A quarter way through the season, the Chase Heat are opti-mistic about their regu-lar season as the team

is second in the Doug Birks division after 13 games including six wins, five losses, and two overtime losses. The three leading scor-ers are Connor Venne with 17 points, Kaleb Boyle with 16 points and Nic Fidanza with 15 points.

Students, grades kindergarten to 12 in Chase, were asked to make posters about ad-dictions such as the ef-fects of drugs, alcohol, gambling and technol-ogy.

The Skmana X-Country Ski and Snow-shoe Club organized a trail clearing event in preparation for the up-coming ski season.

Pete Murray’s Farm held a fun family-ori-ented Halloween event, including wagon rides touring the pumpkin

patch fields.The group at Cha-

belos Resort in Chase organized a social pot-luck dinner for guests with the request that attendees donate one new toy per guest; the result was $2,600 worth of toys collect-

Chase year in reviewed which were then donated to the Chase Hamper Society.

The Chase Commu-nity Hall organized the first Halloween dance and scare band compe-tition. Prizes were won for costumes and best air-band performance. The event was a fun-draiser to raise money to purchase a sun pro-tector for the Joyce Dunn Theatre. Danny Redekop and Jerry Johnson also provided DJ music to finish the night.

Adventure travel was the topic for the Travel Talks series held at the Squilax General Store & Hostel.

NovemberImprovements began

on the Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park.  Among the changes will be a new gathering place for large groups and festivals, new trails built and old trails closed to help with natural rehabilitation, and a buffer zone will be created between the Adams River and park facilities to help protect natural habitat.  The project is planned to take several years to complete.

Chase council unani-mously approved the rezoning of the Aylmer Road property for a proposed wood pellet plant. This ap-proval does not mean the pellet plant will be coming to Chase for certain, just that the business can take the next steps as the pellet plant would be considered a permitted use on the parcel. The village had completed two public hearings as well as consulted with several agencies as re-quired by legislation prior to council mak-ing its decision.

Representative of Project Comeback, Natalya Melnychuk, was contracted by the Village of Chase to learn why youth leave rural communities like Chase after graduat-ing high school and

to research ways to keep them from leav-ing. Melnychuk will look into incentives for youth so they will con-sider staying in their home communities to work and raise their families.

The Kamloops Storm hockey team played against the Heat in Chase and went home with a 4-1 win against the Heat. But the Heat won against the Kelowna Chiefs in a home game the same weekend.

Residents were in-vited to shop locally for their Christmas presents; the Creek-side Craft Fair, the Chase Country Christ-mas Craft Fair and the Pritchard Christmas Bazaar held their annu-al events that included local vendors selling their crafts and baked goods.

The Chase Evan-gelical Free Church and the Pete Murray’s Corn Farm collabo-rated to provide hay rides to families and children. Locals could also check out the live nativity that was play-ing at the church.

Craig’s Bakery held a gingerbread house construction workshop for locals of all ages.

Downtown Chase was ablaze with Christ-mas spirit and good cheer for the Chase Country Christmas. To kick off the holiday season, local shops re-mained open for late shopping, a bonfire helped keep residents

warm as they enjoyed the Christmas parade. There were hayrides and vendors with treats, and the Chase Heat players were available to sign auto-graphs.

December Shuswap Search and

Rescue members were called out to Crow-foot Mountain above Celista to search for a missing snowmobiler. The missing Kamloops man had become sepa-rated from the rest of the group and became lost. A member of the Crowfoot Mountain Snowmobile Club

found the man about 4:30 a.m. He had been well-prepared with warm clothes and food and was found in good health.

Chase Coun. Rick Berrigan allotted $500 of his discretionary funds towards the local Chase Hamper Society.

Chase RCMP were busy with increased vehicle break-ins and motor vehicle acci-dents.

The accidents were attributed to snowy weather and icy roads that took drivers by surprise. In one day, RCMP responded to more than 10 calls.

The Chase Heat

won 5-4 in overtime against the Columbia Valley Rockies from Invermere, but lost 5-2 against Kamloops Storm in a home game, making the Heat third in the standings.

n Chase residents came out in full force to hear information and voice their opinions about the re-zoning of land on Aylmer Road to accommodate a proposed pellet plant. After a two-part public hearing, Chase council unanimously approved the rezoning.

A Chinese proverb says: ‘When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.’

It’s a pretty tough transition to go from

the wonderful flowers of spring and summer, to the glorious tones of reds, oranges and yel-lows in the fall, to the colourless whites and greys of winter.

If you get the blues during this time of year, it really helps to keep some pretty plants in your house to get you through those dreary days.

A friend of mine has always been willing to budget a little extra of her hard-earned money to buy a bouquet of flowers for her table, all

year round, for as long as I can remember. To her, they’re worth ev-ery penny, because they lift her spirits and bring cheer and beauty into her home. I’m too tight to spring for the bou-quets, but now I contin-ually keep a colourful plant on my table to en-joy until I can cut some out of the garden again.

Lovely poinsettias are always a Christmas favourite, especially the big ones with the added touch of sparkles all over the leaves.

My plant is now go-

ing on five years old, looking like a three-foot high bonsai tree, so you don’t necessar-ily have to throw them out. Other choices for winter are the beauti-ful orchids, the brightly tri-coloured plant I just bought from the gro-cery store called a ka-lanchoe, African violets or the unfortunately short-blooming winter cactus or impressive amaryllis.

Your potted gerani-ums from summer will sometimes keep their pretty blooms for quite

a while, or maybe even some good fake flow-ers might do the trick. Ideally, you want plants that have long-lasting blooms with plenty of colour, so check out the florists, grocery and plant stores to see what pick-me-ups they have to offer.

We should never underestimate flower power and how they can affect our psycho-logical well-being and grey matter. Take for example the University of Florida brain aware-ness study, in which

the keynote speaker discussed flowers’ ef-fects on us humans. She states: “Flowers are not only a symbol of happi-ness and good cheer, but that their little chemical factories create posi-tive responses within our brains along with decreasing anxiety and improving our moods. From an evolutionary standpoint, this makes people better survi-vors because positive people are more likely to maintain social re-lationships, reproduce, find needed resources

and be creative.” They also found that

the more flowers older adults received, the happier they were.

So make this winter a little easier by add-ing some flowers to your home just to give yourself a little cheer with the added bonus of a brain boost and fewer ‘senior moments.’

And let’s not for-get those friends or neighbours who truly struggle through these colourless months by surprising them with a pretty pot too.

Flowers and plants colour our lives on many different levels
