A3Winter storm blasts the ShuswapWeather woes: Huge snowfall leaves residents digging their way out Wednesday.

First it was snow, and then more snow. Now arctic air moving in will mean colder temperatures for the Shuswap.

Two snowstorms, the first Mon-day, Jan. 7, and the second and more dramatic snowfall Tuesday after-noon and evening, dumped approxi-mately 18 centimetres on Salmon Arm.

Now the low-pressure system which brought the snow is moving off, allowing colder air to move in for the weekend.

“We may hit double digit mi-nuses for the overnight lows this weekend,” says Doug Lundquist, Environment Canada meteorologist. “Just in time to really freeze up all that snow.”

The Environment Canada gauge, which is located along Shuswap Lake, recorded the 18-centimetre in-crease in the snow level by Wednes-day morning.

“This is not to say the area didn’t actually receive more snow than that,” says Lundquist. “There’s a great deal of elevation change in Salmon Arm, and the higher levels likely saw even more snow.”

Lundquist says the back-to-back nature of the two storms is what made it more significant.

“On their own, each of these storms was pretty typical winter weather, but coming so close togeth-er, it really made an impression on people. It was an intense few hours.”

Lundquist also notes the relatively mild temperatures, hovering close to zero, contributed to wet snow and

treacherous road conditions. Indeed many drivers struggled to reach their destinations Tuesday evening, as many roads became almost impass-able – including the Trans-Canada Highway at Tank Hill.

“There was some real trouble with semis spinning out and not making it along the hill there,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane. “Our members were kept pretty busy there for a while.”

But while the road conditions were terrible, Keane said most drivers took extra care and there were remarkably few accidents.

“There were no major incidents, just a lot of people in snowbanks or stuck on the shoulders.”

Tuesday’s snowfall meant extra staff and hours for the city.

Rob Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering and pub-lic works, said although the snow stopped falling about 9 or 10 p.m. Tuesday, the fact that it came on the heels of an earlier snowfall made for lots of work. Crews were starting to clear city subdivisions after plow-ing the arterial roads, when the new snow meant they had to head back to the main roads.

“It’s kind of a hop-scotch game we play having to move back and forth,” he said.

No city roads were closed because of the snowfall. Even Okanagan Av-enue stayed open, with crews plow-ing and sanding it.

“I think the worst part of the event was around the rush-hour traffic go-ing home, with everyone on the road and heavy, thick snow. The roads were all open – it was just the condi-tion of the roads.”

out of the downtown and Tuesday’s snow-storm meant a second removal in as many weeks.

That costs about $10,000 each time it’s done, Nieuwenhuizen said, so he’s hopeful it won’t be a necessity too often.

Overall, he’s pleased with the efforts of city staff.

“In my opinion, crews did an excellent job. They had already put in a lot of hours and were diligent in coming back and putting in the hours.”

One of the more un-usual traffic difficulties of the night involved a Tappen-Sunnybrae fire truck which became stuck when trying to turn around on Sunny-brae Canoe Point Road near Herald Park after it was called out to deal

with downed power lines.

But Kenn Mount, CSRD fire services coordinator, says a re-quest was made for towing services, which is part of fire depart-ment policy as soon as there is any indication the fire truck may be-come immobile. In this case, however, the tow was not needed as fire crews were able to free the vehicle themselves.

“That can be a diffi-cult road at the best of times, so you can imag-ine what it was like dur-ing those conditions,” says Mount.

Following the heavy snowfall, highway maintenance person-nel urge motorists to be cautious around heavy equipment plowing lo-cal roads and highways.

“Don’t pass the plow,” said Rick Ko-vacvich, operations manager with Argo Road Maintenance.

“It’s safer to stay be-hind the plow because they are clearing the snow for you and they will pull over when possible.”

The primary con-cern is motorists pass-ing plows on the right because that’s the side where snow is pushed out.

“It blasts right through their vehicle,” said Kovacvich. “That can do a lot of damage to a vehicle.”

The back-to-back storms created chal-lenges.

“It’s been hectic but fortunately our equip-ment was holding up,” said Kovacvich.

The primary focus for clearing snow were the highways followed by school bus routes.

Secondary roads in the rural areas were the next priority.

Many of the prob-lems were on the Trans-Canada Highway be-

tween Sorrento and Sicamous.

“Transport trucks were stuck. They weren’t chaining up,” said Kovacvich.

Argo Road Mainte-nance is responsible for 4,700-lane kilometres in the North Okanagan-Shuswap.

Slick streetsn Traffic on the Trans-Canada High-way crawled through down-town Salmon Arm Tuesday evening as heavy snow fell.

Viruses striking region

While this might seem like an unusually rough time in terms of cold and flu viruses, apparently, it’s not.

Dr. Andrew Larder, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health, explains there are two types of viruses cur-rently circulating in the region: influenza – which affects the re-spiratory system with coughing, fever, runny nose and sore throat, and Norovirus – the most common cause of gastrointestinal out-breaks, with symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, vomit-ing, diarrhea, possi-bly a low grade fever and muscle aches and pains.

Larder says that while the activity of influenza is higher and earlier than it was last year, the last two years were not typical years. He said the cur-rent situation is back to normal, in terms of compiled data.

“It usually starts ris-ing the last week of December and early January. It will stay at relatively high lev-els until late February, then drop down.”

Larder said the in-fluenza virus – which has been identified as Influenza A at several residential care facili-ties in the region – ap-pears to have reached its highest level of ac-tivity and will stay at that level for possibly another six to seven weeks.

At this point, 11 resi-dential care facilities in the region including one in Salmon Arm – Bastion Place – have reported respiratory virus outbreaks, and six of them have been confirmed as Influenza A. Just one facility, an acute-care hospital in the Kootenays, has re-ported a Norovirus out-break.

The school district reports that Parkview Elementary and Eagle River Secondary in Sicamous experienced high absenteeism just before Christmas, as did Falkland Elementa-ry, but no schools have reported high num-bers of absentees since school resumed Jan. 2.

Is it unusual to have both influenza and Norovirus outbreaks at the same time?

“Sadly not,” says Larder, noting that Noro tends to circulate this time of year.

“It used to be called winter vomiting dis-ease.”

Although other parts of B.C. have been expe-riencing high levels of Norovirus activity at-

tributed to a new strain, that trend doesn’t hold true in this region.

“Looking at our data, the number of out-breaks since November are exactly the same as last year. We’re seeing a pretty typical Noro-virus season,” Larder says.

Because people can

pick up the Norovirus off infected surfaces, disinfecting is impor-tant.

“A couple of years ago there was a real spate of outbreaks on cruise ships. They had to bring them into port and clean them from top to bottom.”

He points out that it’s not too late to get a flu vaccine, and it is cur-rently available from doctors’ offices or the health unit.

“It’s still time for im-munity to develop. The viruses circulating do match the ones in the vaccine.”

And, he emphasizes, “the best way to avoid both of these is really good hand hygiene and really good cough eti-quette – use handker-chiefs or cough into the upper arm.”

He also stresses: “If you get sick, stay away from work or stay away from school.”

It is hard to believe that it’s almost the middle of January.

Oh, well, at least I didn’t have to worry about making any New Year’s resolutions this year. Several years ago I made a resolution to not to make any more New Year’s resolutions – and I’ve stuck to it.

I’ve always felt that mak-ing New Year’s resolutions is about as practical as tak-ing your whole pay cheque and buying lottery tickets with it.

The odds of success are simply not in your favour. Which I guess brings me to my point. This coming year I want to try and do a few more things that are practi-cal, in as much as they have half a chance of actually working out, and are things that I actually want to do. I’m trying to be realistic as well as optimistic.

All I have to do is think outside of the box. Right?

I mean, if you always been a regular, old-fash-ioned bait caster, learn how to fly fish. Learn all about entomology and things like incomplete metamorpho-sis, nymphs and seasonal

insect hatches, or maybe take a little extra time and dedicate yourself to mas-tering the delicate art of fly pattern presentation.

I remember when I made the transition – although I’m still not what you would call a fly fishing pur-ist. I even started tying my own flies. There is some-thing quite special about catching a fish on a fly that you’ve tied yourself.

If you are one of those fly fishing purists, relax a little – read a Victoria Houston fishing murder mystery and then, go fishing with a can of worms.

You might even try something as simple as tak-ing the time to teach a kid how to fish. Watch their

eyes light up as they tie into their first fish.

Remember what, and who, kindled your enthusi-asm for the sport of fishing. Fish off the end of a dock. Try to remember what it was like to be a kid your-self.

Find that part of you, bur-ied deep down inside, that is still a kid, and then, take your shoes off and let your feet dangle in the water. See how far you can spit.

You can always do what I like to do. Go to one of those big outdoor shows they have in the spring. Walk around and look at all the newest in high-tech gear.

Talk to the technical rep-resentatives. Ask questions about the most expensive piece of gear they have to offer. Watch their eyes light up.

While you’re there, talk to other people. Tell one of them an out-and-out whop-per of a fish story. Lie your head off. No angler will question you to your face. In all likelihood, they’re probably prone to embel-lishment themselves.

When you get home,

throw a dart at a map and plan to go fishing at some lake or stream you have never fished before.

Experience a day on the water where every-thing is new. Plan to just look around you. Take in all the sights and sounds and smells. Lean back, shut your eyes and listen. Breathe in the fresh air –and try not to think about what needs to be done and what’s not getting done because you’re sitting out there in the middle of the lake.

One thing I’m going to make a point of doing (more often) is asking my-self what would I rather be doing. I think one of the reasons I begrudge doing certain tasks is that I know I’d rather be doing some-thing else. So maybe if I did more of the things that I would rather be doing, then I wouldn’t begrudge doing the things that have to be done when I do get around to doing them.

Any way you look at it, it never hurts to be both opti-mistic and realistic.

For many, this important piece of information is quickly glanced at and discarded into the junk mail pile – it is accepted simply for what it is.

But with that number comes a wealth of infor-mation on how a property is valued, far more than just how much you will be expected to pay in July when taxes are due.

The arrival of assessments is only a small piece of a much larger picture that triggers a complex system of property tax calculations, and how the money collected by the city is used to pay for roads, sewers, recreation facilities, social programs and other services. Part of the property tax each prop-erty owner pays also funds the local school district, hospital, library and other services.

As assessments arrive, local politicians are al-ready working to determine how the city will spend the funds.

This year in Nanaimo, the $175-million budget will be fuelled mostly by the $89 million the city will collect in property taxes.

Though a recent survey indicated that 90 per cent of Nanaimo property owners are content with how their tax money is spent, many don’t realize how much influence they can have at the local govern-ment level, unlike senior levels of government.

How much your largest asset is worth and how the tax money it generates is used to keep public services working are two subjects worth knowing a little bit about.

However, if you’d prefer to swallow the blue pill instead of the red pill, there are still many interest-ing features available on the B.C. Assessment web-site at www.bcassessment.ca.

How long will dentures last?

Ask Your Denturist

Normally about � ve to ten years. Your gums and denture will slowly wear down every year and these small changes will grow into big changes Reasons like stress, weight loss, age of the denture, health issues, and even hard candy will create denture problems. Having the denture break or cause sore spots is an indication that the mouth is having troubles.

One of the biggest and most successful student-led commu-nity non-profits in the world is rebranding it-self, resulting in a new name for SIFE Okana-gan.

SIFE, which stands for Students in Free Enterprise, has been operating internation-ally for almost 40 years and, effective Jan. 1, 2013, became Enactus.

“This is a more pow-erful name for us,” said Adrienne Renaud, a third-year Okanagan School of Business student at the Kelow-na campus and vice-president of marketing for Enactus Okanagan College. “We’re about taking action. We don’t just sit around and come up with ideas, we make things happen.”

Enactus stands for entrepreneurial, action, and us. It highlights the role student lead-ers (guided by both academic advisors and business experts) take in sharing their class-room skills by creating real solutions for peo-ple in the community.

In the Shuswap-Rev-elstoke region this has resulted in several key projects including:

• Shuswap Launch-A-Preneur – a student-run business competi-tion open to all ages where local entrepre-

neurs launch their ven-tures in the community of Salmon Arm.

• Help Hunger Dis-appear – where team members tackle hunger by addressing long and short-term needs and raising awareness.

“Working on these programs has allowed me to make a dif-ference in my com-munity by applying what I have learned in the classroom to real world situations,” said 21-year-old Tom Ar-rowsmith, vice-pres-ident of the Salmon Arm campus program.

Okanagan School of Business professor Terry Kosowick, who mentors the Enactus team in Salmon Arm, said it’s this practical experience that makes an impact on students.

“Through Enactus, students discover what it means to develop their sense of civic duty, to build citizen-ship capacity, to be part of their community and not apart from it,” Kosowick said.

The Okanagan Col-lege team has distin-guished itself both in the region and on the national stage, taking spots in the top five in the last four years of competition.

ects, visit www.enac-tusoc.ca or call Enac-

tus Okanagan College President Paven Singh

Unplug and play at CarlinPut down your gad-

gets and pick up a book; that is just one of the messages Literacy Alliance of the Shus-wap Society is trying to promote through their Unplug and Play Family Literacy Week taking place from Jan. 21 to the 27.

This weeklong event encourages students and families to reduce their amount of screen-time for one week including TV, video games, texting and computers.

Unplug & Play Pass-ports have been printed for every elementary and middle school stu-

dent in the district. On each passport,

there is a daily check-list to record screen-free activities and a schedule of events for families throughout the North Okanagan-Shuswap.

Children use an aver-age of 7.5 hours of en-tertainment technology per day, says Literacy Outreach Coordinator Jennifer Findlay.

Some of the events in the South Shuswap include the Carlin Country Sliding Party, set for Tuesday, Jan. 22 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Carlin School.

The Carlin Parent’s

Advisory Commit-tee is inviting families from the area to join in the fun of an old-fash-ioned sledding party. Bring your own sleds. Hot chocolate and a warming bonfire will be on site for all.

Also at Carlin school will be a show-ing of Play Again, a documentary film that hopes to inspire fami-lies to take action to re-connect with the natu-ral world.

The film is appropri-ate for ages 10 and up. Child minding will be available by donation for younger children.

There will also be

a preschool storytime event at the South Shuswap branch of the Okanagan Regional Library on Wednesday, Jan. 23 beginning at 10:30 a.m. There will be stories and rhymes for the little ones and their families.

Also featured in the region will be buddy reading with the Sil-verBacks, family game nights, early years fair, family skating, fam-ily art afternoon, a free family swim, curling, along with many other fun-filled activities.

Traffic was brought to a stand-still Friday, Jan. 4, after a single vehi-cle accident resulted in a blockage on the Trans-Canada High-way.

RCMP were called about 5:45 a.m. with reports of an accident eight kilometres west of Sorrento near Little River Boat World.

The incident in-volved just one trac-tor-trailer, which had jack-knifed, blocking both lanes. No injuries were re-ported.

Is gas the enviro-villain of 2013?

VICTORIA –They’re well on the way to stop-ping the expansion of oil exports to Asia. Now will B.C.’s American branch-plant environ-mental machine turn on natural gas?

A couple of weeks ago I described the dis-pute between the Haisla Nation and the rest of the Coastal First Na-tions group over the pioneering of liquefied natural gas develop-ment on Haisla territory at Kitimat. Powerful chiefs of the Heiltsuk, Gitga’at, Haida and others in the so-called Great Bear Rainfor-est oppose the idea of kicking off a new LNG export industry without extending the hydro grid to support renew-able power for the re-gion.

LNG is shaping up as B.C.’s largest-ever industrial project, if it gets built. And there are signs the American-directed environmental attack is swinging to our gas boom.

Some in the Canadi-an media insist no such U.S. influence exists, or that it is trivial and benign. They mock fed-eral Natural Resources

Minister Joe Oliver’s description of “foreign radicals,” pretending this applies to everyone opposed to oil pipelines.

There weren’t many reporters with me when I covered the negotia-tions for the Great Bear Rainforest in 2006. To the Vancouver media it was just a big forest deal up in the middle of nowhere. Along with B.C. cabinet min-ister Pat Bell, Coastal First Nations and forest companies, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace muscled their way to the table.

How they did so became clear in early 2007. Behind these big three eco-propaganda groups was a $60 mil-lion war chest from an obscure outfit called Tides Canada.

Another front group, as it turns out. The actu-al source of the money was the William and Flora Hewlett Foun-dation, the David and Lucille Packard Foun-dation, the Wilberforce Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foun-dation and the Rock-efeller Brothers Fund.

Most made their bil-lions in computers and software in San Francis-co or Seattle. They’ve funded scientifically suspect campaigns such as “Yellowstone to Yukon” and “boreal forest” aimed at turn-ing more than a third of Canada into parks. Increasingly, they are partnering with aborigi-nal people in B.C. and across Canada.

Some in B.C.’s major media have since grudg-ingly credited indepen-dent B.C. researcher Vivian Krause with fill-ing in the blanks. She has shown that starting in 2002, these founda-tions began formally organizing against Ca-nadian fossil fuel pro-duction.

When the B.C. and Canadian governments matched the $60 million Great Bear Rainforest fund for “ecosystem-based” forest manage-ment, they didn’t realize they were reinforcing a blockade against oil exports. Tides and its backers have contin-ued to fund new protest groups, which are quot-ed as they pop up by credulous B.C. media.

Their argument against oil exports cen-tres on the sexy but false premise that Alberta’s “tar sands” somehow uniquely threaten the global climate. Lately, as the size of B.C.’s gas development has become clearer, the protests have started to refocus.

Now we hear dire claims about the de-cades-old technique of “fracking” in gas devel-opment, and previously obscure groups are springing up to protest gas projects.

Hollywood is about to gas us with an anti-fracking movie starring Matt Damon. Previews suggest that Promised Land works the usual evil-greedy-capitalist themes, in the Avatar tradition.

ForestEthics, Sierra Club and Greenpeace, meanwhile, are cam-paigning against their original forest preserva-tion deal on B.C.’s Cen-tral and North Coast. Sustainable develop-ment solutions aren’t good for their business model. If people think a problem is solved, they

stop sending money.Meanwhile, the U.S.

is surging ahead with its own shale oil and gas boom. Plans are under-way for LNG exports from the U.S. to Asia.

I think 2013 would be a good year for Canada to start making its own decisions on en-ergy development.

CancelledThe organizers of the It’s All About Women Conference and Exhibition regret to announce that this year’s conference, scheduled for Saturday January 26th, has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control. The Prestige Harbourfront Resort is undergoing significant renovations to the Main Ballroom where we hold our conference and gala and they will not be completed in time for our event to proceed as planned.

We have set the bar high for this event and feel our attendees deserve nothing less than the best we can deliver. The It’s All About Women Conference and Exhibition, the Evening Gala and the Shuswap Women of Distinction Awards are completely organized by a small, dedicated team of volunteers who contribute hundreds of hours to ensure its success. In order to preserve the integrity of this unique event for women, we felt it necessary to cancel the event and reschedule it for next January.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to our sponsors and exhibitors. Without your backing each year this event wouldn’t be possible. We sincerely appreciate your support and hope you’ll join us next year. We’d also like to thank the women in our community (and beyond), who have faithfully attended the conference and the gala each year. You are the reason the It’s All About Women Conference and Exhibition was created. You are the reason we salute you with the Shuswap Women of Distinction Awards. For the past five years, funds raised have been donated to the Shuswap Area Family Emergency (S.A.F.E.) Society. The S.A.F.E. Society provides vital support and programs to Families in our area affected by domestic violence. The organizers of the It’s All About Women Conference and Exhibition would encourage everyone to forward any funds that might have been budgeted for purchasing tickets for the conference, directly to the S.A.F.E. Society.

In closing I would like to express my sincere thanks to our awesome volunteers for their tireless energy, commitment and devotion to delivering what would have been an incredible event. Please do not let this unfortunate turn of events dampen your enthusiasm for this annual event. See you next year!

Sincerely,Coralie Tolley, Founder and ChairIt’s All About Women Conference and Exhibition

It’s a new year and you’ve made a pact to eat healthy. But, now it’s a few weeks later and you’re losing steam. So, what can you do to get back on track?

First of all, it’s im-portant to approach healthy eating in a realistic manner. Re-stricting foods, label-ing foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ and not eating enough food can wreak havoc on your body – emotionally and physi-cally.

It can lead to feelings of deprivation, overeat-ing and a resounding amount of guilt that can lead you back to square one. Instead, focus on small chang-es, healthy foods that you enjoy, and take the time to create a support system to help main-tain lifelong healthy eating habits.

Three tips to stay on track with healthy eat-ing:

• Be realistic. Try-ing to tackle too much at once can be over-whelming. Big things happen when small, sustainable changes are repeated over a life-time. By including a fruit at breakfast or an extra vegetable at din-ner, you can achieve large goals over time. Choose actions that are relatively easy to fit into your day on an ongoing basis.

• Focus on the posi-tive. All too often, res-olutions can leave you feeling deprived. Try reframing your resolu-tions to focus on things you will enjoy. Rather than restricting your favourite foods, try in-corporating healthier foods that you enjoy more often, and have fun trying some new foods too. Getting a new cookbook might serve as a special re-ward for yourself as well as an inspiration.

• Find support. Don’t

try to do it alone! Talk to your friends and family about the changes you’d like to make. You may be surprised to learn that others want to join you as you strive to make healthier choices at home, work, school and play.

After months of lobby-ing, with the support of the Salmon Arm, Enderby and Sicamous councils, and the Salmon Arm Economic Development Society and Chamber of Commerce, Shuswap Settlement Ser-vices Society has announced that it has been awarded

funding to provide immi-grant settlement services and to lead the WelcomeShus-wap initiative.

Historically, smaller com-munities were denied fund-ing on the grounds that there were insufficient numbers of immigrants to warrant the services.

Consequently, immigrants tended to congregate in larg-er centres where settlement services were available.

Over time numerous stud-ies have concluded that the provision of immigrant set-tlement services locally was a first priority for attracting and retaining immigrants in

a community.Under this new Welcom-

ing Communities Program for Smaller Centres, Shus-wap Settlement Services will both provide immigrant settlement services and work with local governments and partners to foster a caring and welcoming community.

Shuswap Settlement Ser-vices will convene a meeting of its community partners in early February to determine a community action plan that will make for a more welcoming community.

The primary focus will be on attracting and retain-ing immigrants.

Community members or organizations interested in serving as partners or in-terested in volunteering are invited to visit the Shuswap Immigrant Services office at 351 Hudson Ave. NE (across from the Salmon Arm post office), email [email protected] or phone 250-838-6445.

What Parents Need to KnowDear Parents,

The Foundation Skills Assessment(FSA), given to Grade 4 and 7 students, does not count towards your child’s marks. The results do not actively support your child’s learning.• FSA tests are expensive and waste money at a time when cuts are being made.• FSA tests do not help students learn or teachers teach.• FSA tests take valuable time away from more meaningful learning.• The data does not provide real help to students, parents, or schools.• The results are misused to rank schools and promote privatization.

Teachers in North Okanagan-Shuswap recommend that parents write a letter to your school principal requesting that your child be exempted from the FSA. To learn more about your child’s progress and the real assessments done in the classroom, talk to her or his teacher. Sample letters are available at the local teachers association. To learn more about your child’s progress and the real assessments done in the classroom, talk to her or his teacher.

SportSWell, many thanks

to you who respond to my admonishments to “Think snow.”

It has been spectacu-larly successful! Keep it up. Skiing over the Christmas holidays was terrific – both on track and in the back country. Trips around the Great Circle and on Green-way, White Pine Walk, and Treebeards are wonderful in the deep snow.

Over the Christmas break there is a cadre of volunteers who serve as hosts on the hill for a three-hour session over the noon hour to greet skiers, welcome skiers from away, give info to skiers wishing direc-tions, etc.

Reports from these hosts tell of skiers from the U.S., Alberta and coastal B.C. Thanks to all these hosts for giv-ing such a friendly face to our ski area.

Larch Hills hosted the Teck Okanagan

Cup #1 races in con-junction with the Larch Hills Annual Fun Race on Sunday, Dec. 30. These regional Teck (ie. sponsored by Teck Industries) races have been initiated to give racers more opportu-nity to race closer to home.

Other regions with Teck Cup series are Kootenay, Coast, and Northern. Okanagan #2 and #3 races will be in Kelowna and Vernon. Congrats to the orga-nizers of #1 at the Larch Hills and to our skiers who did so well in this event.

Many of our junior racers will be attend-ing Teck BC Cup #2 in Kelowna this coming weekend along with their coaches and par-ents.

Many of the parents are brought into the waxing scene since there are so many skis to wax in the morning before the races and the conditions can be changing by the min-ute. Thanks to the ex-pertise of the coaches the wax of the day can be determined as they go. It is up to the ath-letes to test the wax job on their skis, then re-port back to the waxer as to how it is working. It can be a bit hairy just before a race getting the wax just right.

Best of luck to the gang heading to Kelow-na this weekend.

The biggest event on the Larch Hills calendar is coming up fast.

The 29th Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet

is Saturday, Jan. 19. I can’t believe it is al-most 30 years since we launched this event! And now it is among the largest in B.C.

We continue our af-filiation with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC and Yukon so be generous with your do-nation through the lop-pet. Over the 28 years so far we have raised more than $400,000 for the heart fund. It is a good marriage of heart-healthy nordic skiing and fundraising for healthy hearts.

Skiers can register for the Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet online at www.skilarchhills.ca – click on loppet. Or, registra-tion forms can be found at John’s Ski Shack and Skookum’s. They also collect registrations for the loppet.

The registration desk is open for last minute registrants at the SAS-CU Recreation Centre until 8 p.m. Friday, Jan.

18. That is also where skiers pick up their bibs. When you are in to pick up your bib, check out the Larch Hills scrap-books which go back to the beginning of the club circa 1979. You may even find an earlier representation of your-self if you were skiing back then!

Check the web site for current conditions. Since snowshoeing has become so popular there are signs designat-ing the snowshoe trails. However, this from the web site: “Great to see everyone out using the trails, especially the snowshoers. Please re-member to stay on des-ignated snowshoe trails only. Snow shoe tracks are extremely difficult for skiers to control on down hill.”

See you at the loppet. Think snow!

ChasePhotographer focuses on village

Chase residents no longer need to make the trip to Kamloops or Salmon Arm to capture some of their precious family moments.

Christie Mickelson has opened her own photography business in Chase, and is excited to start telling the sto-ries of families through the art of photography.

“I’ve always had a passion for capturing lifelong memories, says Mickelson. “Growing up, I was always the friend with the cam-era snapping pictures. The amount of pictures taken quadrupled when I had my boys.”

She doesn’t have a studio at the moment, but doesn’t plan on getting one, saying she prefers to work with natural light that is al-ways best outdoors.

“I have a few trea-sured locations which I can offer or we can meet at a location picked by the client,” she says. “Some people

have special places that they hold dear to their heart.”

“I will also come to the clients’ home and use their own personal things as a backdrop,” says Mickelson, ex-plaining how this al-lows for the pictures to become a little more personal.

Despite only living in Chase since August and that she has only been doing photogra-phy professionally for a few months, thanks to word of mouth, she has already been very busy in the community.

“It’s really snow-balled for me,” says Mickelson.

Mickelson currently offers variations of lifestyle photography, which mainly deals with children and fami-lies but she hopes to ex-pand into newborns and couples sessions.

“I love seeing the wonder and innocence in the children’s eyes,” explains Mickelson. “I love to capture the spe-cial moments between parents and children, such as a loving em-brace or a gut-wrench-ing laugh.”

There are many rea-sons why Mickelson loves photography but the main one is the peo-ple she is photograph-ing.

“I love being around people and hearing their stories. I want to try and capture that through pictures for them.”

For Mickelson, her new business brings double the good into her life. After spend-ing years working at a desk job, she has now found a job that allows her to spend more time at home with her son, which is a welcome

change for her.She also enjoys

knowing that she can offer something to the community that has been extremely lacking until now.

“I don’t currently know of anyone within town that is advertising photography,” she says.

For those clients within the Chase area, Mickelson says she can keep her rates lower than her Kamloops or Salmon Arm competi-tors because she does not have to charge for travel costs.

“Chase is beautiful and has some pretty amazing backdrops for lifestyle photography.”

If you would like book your own session with Mickelson, or find out more information, contact her by emailing her at [email protected] or by phon-ing 250-819-6570.

You can also check out her facebook page at http://www.face-book.com/ChristieMickelsonPhotography?fref=ts.

The Heat have been keeping busy over the holidays, taking to the ice for four seperate games.

Way back on Dec. 19, the Heat hosted the Sicamous Eagles in the last contest prior to the Christmas break. The division leading Eagles took a 7-4 vic-tory home from the fifth-place Chase team.

Of the four Chase goals, Marc Macken-zie got an unassisted marker, Kurtis Johnson got two and McKen-zie Guardiero popped a single. Jacob Mattes stopped 35 of 42 shots he faced as he went the distance in goal. New Year’s Eve saw the North Okanagan Knights travel to Chase for what turned out to be a very festive eve-ning. At the end of this one, the Heat walked

away with a 6-1 vic-tory. Guardiero opened scoring in the first, Mi-chael Keyes picked up his first of the season in the second along with Johnson getting his first of two on the night. In the third, Mi-chael Rand got his first of the season followed by Cody Hodges with his first. Johnson closed out scoring for the Heat with Mattes stopping 31 of 32 shots he faced.

Jan. 5 saw the Heat in Summerland facing the Steam. At game’s end Chase stole one with a 4-3 victory. Shelby Kostyshen opened scoring followed by Kurtis Johnson with a hat trick. Devon Pear-son went the distance between the pipes fac-ing 31 shots for the victory. Sunday after-noon, saw the return of the revenge-minded Knights and less then two minutes in they

had potted the first of five. At the conclu-sion of this contest the Armstrong based team skated away with a 5-1 victory. Dom Hodges was the lone marks-man for the Heat.

The Heat now have nine wins on the year after playing 38 games, a modest improvement from their inaugural season.

Next up are the Nel-son Leafs on Friday, Jan. 11 at 7 p.m.

Most people know this, but some do not — which is why 911 emergency medical dispatchers continue to receive the oddest of calls unrelated to ac-tual emergencies.

Last year, 911 dis-patchers with the BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) answered more than 394,000 calls.

While many of those calls involved life-threatening situations, including cardiac ar-rests, childbirth and motor-vehicle acci-dents, some were of a decidedly less-urgent nature.

Some samples:• I think my house is

infested with � eas. Can someone come and check it out?

• I can’t get through to my cell provider. Can you help me?

• My husband is driving me crazy. I need you to take him away.

• I need you to get hold of my doctor for me. The of� ce is closed.

• I’m out of beer.• I swallowed tooth-

paste. I didn’t spit it

out. Will it make me sick?

• There’s a dead crow in my yard. Could I get West Nile disease from it?

• I don’t need an ambulance but, if I do, how much does it cost?

• I have a doctor’s appointment in the morning. Could you call me at 8:00 so I’m not late?

• What’s the phone number to the hospital nearest to me?

BCAS director of dispatch operations Gord Kirk oversees dispatch centres in Ka-mloops, Vancouver and Victoria, as well as the more than 240 dispatch staff who serve the province.

“It’s important to remember that we’re here to help people with emergency medi-cal situations,” Kirk said. “Calls that are inappropriate divert resources from those who need swift medi-cal attention.”

Alternatives to call-ing an ambulance in-clude contacting the 811 tele-health ser-vice, visiting a walk-in clinic, making an ap-pointment with a fam-ily doctor or visiting a hospital emergency de-partment if necessary.

ALLAN “ALLIE” WALL It’s a sad day when we have to say good bye to a kind, warm, caring gentleman who, for those that were lucky enough to have had him be a part of their lives, we will be eternally grateful. Allan was born August 26th, 1965 in the Crowsnest Pass, the eldest of 3 children, and passed away January 4th, 2013.

At the young age of 15, like many Canadian young men, he pursued his dream of playing junior hockey and was picked up by the Merritt Centennials. During his time in Merritt, he developed a strong love and appreciation for this part of the world, and began the adult phase of his life there. He began his career in forestry with Sanders & Co., and through the years developed many lifelong friendships. His work took him to the far North, where he met and fell in love with his life partner Kory. An avid outdoorsman, Al always looked forward to his annual hunting and salmon fishing trips. He was passionate about many sports, with golf being his true obsession. He was forever taking lessons and practicing, trying to master a game he both loved and hated. On the golf course as in life, Al was always competitive, cheering on the underdog with compliments and support, but accepting victory in his modest, humble way. Rarely a day went by that Al didn’t bring sunshine into your life, tirelessly helping friends and always keeping things light with his dry sense of humour.

He is survived by his Mother Mary and Father Stan, Brother David (Mary-Ann), Sister Darlene (Dale) and nephews, Life partner Kory, step-daughters Chelsey and Kassie, the love of his life...granddaughter Shaye, and his always faithful companion “Bud”.

“I’m not crying cause I feel so sorry for you... I’m crying for me”

Al will be laid to rest in the Crowsnest Pass, with a memorial to be held in Merritt Saturday January 19, 2013, 2PM

at the Merritt Golf Course

As required by Section 20(4) of BC’s Forest Planning and Practices Regulation this notice is provided.

An amendment to Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) #70 has been approved by the District Manager, Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations without having been made publicly available for review and comment. As of December 20, 2012 operations under the amended plan have been authorized to begin.

Canoe Forest Products Ltd. (CFP) purchased Federated Co-operatives Limited’s (FCL’s) licenses (Forest License A18670, Tree Farm License 33, and Timber License T0 635). The amendment adds CFP as a party to the FSP and removes FCL from being party to FSP. CFP becomes the prime holder of the FSP. This is an administrative amendment as there are no changes to the results and strategies within the FSP.

For further information pleas call Greg Hislop, RFP Planning Forester at 250-833-1237

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is rolling out its new high-tech medical services cards starting Feb. 15, in an effort to phase out millions of CareCards in the hands of non-residents.

The new cards will be combined with the B.C. driver’s licence, with a similar “BC Services Card” available to those who don’t drive. Resi-dents will be required to re-enrol to renew the card every five years.

Qualified residents can enrol in the Medi-cal Services Plan at any provincial office that issues driver’s licences. There is no fee for the health services card only. The current $75 fee for a five-year driv-er’s licence renewal will apply to the new com-bined cards, discounted to $17 for seniors.

There is no require-ment to get the new card until your driver’s licence needs to be renewed. The govern-ment’s plan is to change over all eligible B.C. residents between the ages of 19 and 74 to the new cards over the next five years. To be eligi-ble for MSP coverage, you must be a citizen or approved permanent resident of Canada, liv-ing in B.C. at least six months of the year.

The health ministry announced the new card program in May 2011, after a review showed there were up to 9.1 million B.C. CareCards in circulation. The total population of B.C. is 4.5 million.

Health Minister Mar-garet MacDiarmid said the new card is designed to comply with B.C.’s information and privacy law, which restricts how personal data can be used and shared. That means ICBC and police have no access to medi-cal files, and hospitals have no access to driv-ing records.
