n Mahalia Meeuwsen holds all three of her identical triplets, Hannah, Rileigh and Isabelle, in the neonatal intensive care unit at Royal Inland Hos-pital in Kamloops.

Parents experience triple the joyIt’s snuggles, times three, for Ma-

halia and Mike Meeuwsen, as their rare identical triplets are healthy and growing in the neonatal intensive care unit of Royal Inland Hospital.

The girls, Hannah, Rileigh and Isabelle, were born by C-section on Nov. 3, at approximately eight weeks premature.

They have been cared for in hos-pital since, but are making excellent progress.

Doctors say the odds of having identical triplets, who were con-ceived without the use of fertility treatments, are one in 50 million births.

The delivery had been scheduled for Nov. 16, but complications ne-cessitated the earlier delivery date.

All three babies weighed just over three pounds each.

Mahalia says all three babies have had intravenous lines removed and no longer need the equipment that was assisting with their breathing.

“The girls are doing amazing, gaining weight and doing great,” says Mahalia, who is thrilled all three babies can be taken from their incubators and cuddled together. All

three girls are still being fed with tubes into their stomachs, but are beginning to breast and bottle feed.

Mahalia praises the hospital’s medical staff, saying the quality of care in the NICU has been “abso-lutely amazing.”

There is no word yet on when the triplets might be released from hospital and come home to Salmon Arm.

Salmon Arm taxpay-ers will be facing a 2.96 per cent tax increase in 2016.

For a resident with what the city terms an average $288,000 home, that amounts to an approximate $40 increase over 2015. However, households will also see an $11.30 reduction in the solid waste and recycling levy, so, in total, the homeowner will be paying about $29 more on next year’s tax bill.

Added to that, in a separate bill in Decem-ber, will be a 2.6 per cent or $7.20 rise in the sewer rate.

For a commercial property assessed at $500,000, the tax in-crease next year would be about $172.

Near the end of bud-get deliberations, coun-cil considered the 32 groups and individu-als who had requested funds from the city’s 2016 budget via ‘spe-cific referrals.’ Some re-ceived their full request, others received part, while some requests were denied.

In the parks depart-ment, the Blackburn Park Splash Park will be going ahead, at a to-tal cost of $355,000.

The Rotary of Salmon Arm - Daybreak Club is providing $100,000, city reserves will be the source for $150,000, and a negotiated contri-bution from the Smart-Centres development will total $105,000.

The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society received $50,000 of a $60,000 request for op-erational funding. The city also provides an annual amount for fair-grounds maintenance –

$14,000 in 2016. Two requests were

received for funds for a cultural master plan, but council decided it would initiate the plan.

Coun. Tim Lavery noted one organization has a vision for a per-forming arts centre and another for a cultural plan, “but they’re not talking together.” He suggested, for a start, $5,000 be put towards the plan, with the city starting the conversa-tion on how to proceed.

A request for $1,000 from the Salmon Arm Elks #455 for lawn mowing was referred to the Shuswap Com-munity Foundation, at the suggestion of Coun. Louise Wallace Rich-mond.

“It’s undersub-scribed, they’re not overwhelmed with ap-plications,” she said of the foundation.

The Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce Visitor Centre will re-ceive $130,500 for one year of operation, but Wallace Richmond re-quested a discussion with the chamber prior to next year’s funding decisions. She wants to discuss “what a visitor centre looks like in the

digital age.”The Shuswap Trail

Alliance received ap-proval from council for $40,000 towards opera-tional funding. Also ap-proved was $12,000 for the BCSPCA; $5,000 for Salmon Arm Citi-zens Patrol; $7,500 for the Shuswap Chil-dren’s Association for a swim platform at Canoe Beach; $1,200 to the Community Heritage Committee for the Can-ada 150 sub-committee and the coordination of a central registry of events; and $3,000 re-quested by Al Boucher for more infield mainte-nance at the Canoe soft-ball diamonds.

Council agreed to provide $30,000 of a $92,000 request from Canoe Forest Products for an upgrade of the watermain along a por-tion of Canoe Beach Drive from six to eight inches.

Coun. Kevin Flynn urged that as one of the city’s biggest employ-ers, the funds make sense, plus fire chief Brad Shirley said it would improve fire-fighting safety and ef-fectiveness.

A request from Downtown Salmon

Arm for $21,000 for re-cycling bins downtown garnered $10,500 from council. Coun. Alan Harrison said he sup-ports the bins but thinks DSA should cost share, at least the capital cost of the bins.

Doug Adams with the Salmon Arm Museum and Heritage Associa-tion requested $50,000 for each of two years for the Montebello Block Project. Haney Village also receives $106,000 annually. Council agreed to add $15,000 to an earlier contribu-tion of $10,000 in 2016 for a total of $25,000, as well as an additional $25,000 the year after. Adams said Canada 150 funding has been put on hold for now because of the election, but the project will proceed in any event.

The Economic De-velopment Society will receive $15,000 of a request for a $25,000 contract increase. After much discussion, coun-cil decided that a total of $7,500 will go towards the society’s request, while the other $7,500 is intended to go to-wards assisting the city with the implementa-tion of a hotel tax.

Arnold starts work as MPMel Arnold is now

on the job.Arnold was sworn in

as Conservative Mem-ber of Parliament for North Okanagan-Shus-wap during a ceremony in Ottawa Monday.

“I am looking for-ward to getting down to the serious work of representing the con-stituents of the North Okanagan-Shuswap,” he said.

“I am happy to re-

port that my constitu-ency office staff has already been able to assist with calls regard-ing seniors’ access to a Old Age Security pay-ments, permanent resi-dent status and training visas,” he said in a re-lease. “Other priorities include forwarding the many concerns of local constituents regarding the diligent screening of all Canadian-bound refugees to ensure the

security of all Canadi-ans.”

The newly minted MP was accompanied by his wife, Linda, his daughter Tracey, and friend Brian Smith. Returning MP Dan Al-bas and new MP Todd Doherty stood by their new colleague during the swearing in cer-emony.

Arnold has yet to se-cure a permanent rid-ing office in Vernon.

Sculpture has $300,000 price tag

Sicamous council has budgeted $300,000 for a sculptural con-cept to adorn the future roundabout on High-way 97A.

The concept was pre-sented at last week’s council meeting. De-signed by McElhanney Consulting Services, and funded by the Min-istry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the proposed roundabout sculpture includes a

layered mix of rounded horizontal and vertical panels, animated by lighting.

Four variations of the concept were presented to coun-cil, varying with the materials proposed for use. Construction costs for each range between $305,000 and $410,000 (plus GST and 20 to 30 per cent contingency). Council chose the least expen-sive, which includes panels of corten- and brushed-stainless steel.

About half of the budgeted cost is slated to come from general revenue, while Mayor Terry Rysz is hope-ful the remainder (if not all) will be funded through grant money or other opportunities.

“Even though we’ve got it in the budget, the resources could come through possibly a grant or an association or regional district,” said Rysz. “I’m not expecting it to cost the taxpayer of Sicamous the full $300,000.”

Salmon Arm RCMP are recommending charges of assault causing bodily harm be laid after a inci-dent in which a woman appears to have been thrown from a moving vehicle.

On Nov. 13, at approximately 6:20 p.m. police responded to a call that a woman needed help in the area of Auto Road.

A witness told police the door of a car in front of him opened and a woman fell out, hitting the side of his truck as she rolled down the street. The woman was ushered back into the car, but drove away from the scene before police arrived.

RCMP officers located the 44-year-old woman three hours later and had ambulance personnel at-tend to her injuries. The victim claimed to have been thrown from the car by another occupant of the vehicle.

Police say they have determined the identify of a male suspect and are recommending that Provin-cial Crown counsel charge him with assault causing bodily harm. The victim is expected to make a full recovery.

Laptop extortionOn Nov. 12 Salmon Arm RCMP responded to a

complaint of a break and enter to a residence where a laptop was stolen. Police were able to quickly de-termine that this was a targeted attack. The incident occurred while there were two occupants in the residence, one of whom had borrowed money from the male suspect days earlier. The male suspect was demanding to be re-paid.

Police then executed a search warrant on another Salmon Arm residence and recovered the laptop along with other evidence pertaining to this crime.

A male suspect has been arrested and the Salmon Arm RCMP will be recommending charges to pro-vincial Crown counsel which include break and en-ter and extortion.

Driver investigatedSalmon Arm RCMP responded to a rollover mo-

tor vehicle incident on 11th Avenue NE at 3:40 a.m. on Nov. 15. A male driver was located and was suf-fering from a gash to his head. He is being inves-tigated for impaired operation of a motor vehicle.

Fishing for trout was pretty good this fall on the Adams River and that was in spite of the fact that there were not a lot of returning salmon. How many times over the years have I stood on the banks of the Adams and watched returning sock-eye complete the inevitable and eternal part of their life cycle? Returning salmon must make their way past many a hurdle on the Fraser before ever reaching their spawning grounds along the Adams. Which is one of the reasons I no longer fish for salmon.

I have eaten salmon smoked, candied, barbe-cued, poached and just about every other way salmon can be prepared. I enjoy eating salmon, especially sockeye – every bit as much as I used to enjoy fishing for them. The problem is that sockeye salmon stocks are in trouble.

Scientists with the De-partment of Fisheries and Oceans attribute the decline of the Fraser River fish stocks to any number of fac-tors. Most recently they’ve been saying that it is due to poor survival rate of salmon while in the ocean. Accord-ing to DFO reports, “young

fish are suffering high mor-tality rates as they move from the Fraser River into saltwater conditions, and are subsequently finding less food to eat in the Pacific Ocean in the years spent maturing to adults.”

It just seems as though each and every fall DFO comes out with the same old tired statement that they “have some serious concerns” about the Fraser River sockeye run. Hope-fully, under the new federal government, DFO will ac-tually come out with a plan – maybe even one based on the recommendations put forward in the Cohen Com-mission’s report. We shall see.

Meanwhile, every year returning sockeye numbers

on the Fraser are in steady decline. But each year there are an estimated 10 million pink salmon that entered the Fraser River system. Should we not be looking at pinks as an alternative to the sock-eye?

In the past couple of years the B. C. Salmon Marketing Council has made a major push to promote salmon species other than sockeye, most notably pinks and chum. Sockeye salmon may be more desirable in some ways to pinks or chum. A lot depends on people’s per-ception ... which is based on what they believe to be more desirable and what advertis-ers tell consumers is more desirable. On a positive note, some of B.C.’s top res-taurants are now listing pink salmon on their menus.

On a less than positive note though, while BC’s salmon catches are in steady decline, countries such as Russia, Japan, and Alaska have been experiencing bumper harvests.

Massive harvesting and processing vessels routinely sail the oceans completely uncontrolled. All the while, the list of seafood options for consumers continues

to grow, including farmed salmon and less expensive fish species such as hake, which is now taken in large numbers off the coast of B.C. Many of the larger gro-cery chains also offer con-sumers fish such as basa, a type of catfish native to the Mekong River Delta in Viet-nam, and something called tilapia. I couldn’t even tell you what a tilapia looks like never mind where it comes from.

The problem is, as con-sumers, half the time we don’t even know what we are eating.

My point is that interna-tional fishing and process-ing practices are adding to the problems of the fishery here in B.C.

We need DFO to come up with a proper plan – one that will help Fraser River sockeye numbers to increase while not putting unneces-sary pressure on other fish stocks. I won’t even get into the problems with halibut stocks off the B.C. coast.

We have a new federal government in place and we need to let them know, in no uncertain terms, that some-thing needs to be done out here before it is too late.

OPINION

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

James Murray

International fishing muddies the water

We were appalled by the acts, angry at the perpe-trators and bewildered at the motivations. Mostly, there is sadness. Sadness at the murder of the inno-cent, the most unjustifiable of crimes. But sadness, too, at this assault on peace.

Were France’s streets safe, or was it an illusion? If safety was an illusion there, then is it an illusion in other places, like Canada?

If we are not safe, should we be scared? And if we are scared, does that mean that the terrorists win?

The problem is, it’s not as simple as winning and losing, or good versus evil, or us versus them. It’s hard to fathom, behind the wanton terror, but the other side believes its cause is right and just, too. And though we must not allow terror to triumph, the threat is scattered and unidentifiable. It’s tempt-ing to seek vengeance, but where do we go and what can we hope to accomplish there?

It’s not wholly wrong to wage war. Indeed, it would be wrong to meekly condone Islamic State’s violence and human rights atrocities. Primarily, though, Canada must be a voice for peace in the world. It may be that in this instance, we will need to fight for peace, but if we must fight, it should be done with the belief that there exists a better way.

The shootings and the bombings that terrorized Paris last week do not signal that the world is spinning into a descent toward war and violence and death, because it isn’t. Rather, as the world revolves, humanity continues to evolve toward a more peaceful existence. It’s hard to believe in times like these, but it’s happening, though slowly, too slowly.

Mahatma Gandhi said, “There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” Peace must be not only our hope, but our guiding principle. It must be so. World peace depends on it.

–Nanaimo News Bulletin

Canada must be a voice for peace

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW,

Salmon Arm, B.C.

View point

We must not forget.In the aftermath of

the Paris attacks, we must not forget how ISIS began in the first place. It was Cheney and Bush’s illegal and immoral Iraq war, in which hundreds of thousands died that unleashed the cycle of violence that appears to have no end in sight.

And at the root of these conflicts are the war profiteers; the cor-porations whose share prices are soaring that produce the endless supply of weapons that end up on either side of the conflicts. And now Canada is part of this supply chain, with bil-lions of dollars worth of armoured vehicles

heading to Saudi Ara-bia, thanks to Harper and his refusal to join most of the countries in the world and sign the UN small arms treaty.

With the new Trudeau government in Ottawa, Canada should reconsider join-ing those that seek retribution over the at-tacks and help foster

peace by encouraging the West to leave the Mideast and let the multiple Islamic fac-tions sort out the mess themselves.

The world needs to instead focus on the biggest threat of all, climate change.

Jim Cooperman

Jim Cooperman’s column on ‘Explor-ing Shuswap places’ (Shuswap Market News, Nov. 13) was compelling and infor-mative for residents and visitors alike.

However, his de-scription of Mt. Ida’s nature trail incorrectly attributes the construc-tion of this trail to “Shuswap Outdoors” in the 1970s.

The following is an excerpt from a guide-book of that ‘era’ –Trails to the Shuswap 2nd ed., 1976, p. 21, Barz, Crowley, Crow-ley, Wharton. It reads in part:

“Local college stu-dents, (including Don Barz, Brian MacDon-

ald, Nora Butler, and others), using funds provided by an Oppor-tunities for Youth grant, completed location and construction of the trail traversing the East and West Summits of Mt. Ida in 1972 and 1973.

“The trail is an in-teresting nature walk, since the east side of the mountain receives more precipitation than the west side, and thus is thickly wooded with cedar, hemlock and Douglas fir.

“The mountain’s top has many grassy areas and the lower el-evations on the western side are open stands of western yellow pine (Ponderosa Pine), in-dicating the more arid

nature of this side.”Ecologically sig-

nificant ‘hanging bogs’ are also present on the mountain’s northwest side.

(An exciting incident occurred in 1972 while Brian MacDonald and I were traversing the summit ridge to find the best trail route. Bri-an was a little ahead, and shouted when he plunged through shal-low, early spring snow into an occupied black-bear’s winter den! Fortunately, his loud shouts did not awaken the sleeping bear, and we continued – rather speedily – along the summit ridge!)

Tom Crowley

I was meeting a friend at the Cenotaph for the Remembrance day service. She ar-rived to hear the trum-pet playing the Last Post, I arrived at 10:45 a.m. during the two minutes of silence.

People were still ar-riving before 11 a.m.

expecting to get there in time but the wreaths were already being laid.

Speaking with oth-ers in the crowd, “O Canada” was not sung to start the program.

And about the early start, the announcer said, “It’s 11 o’clock

somewhere.” Well, no it is not. It

was a disgrace, certain protocol must be fol-lowed to show national unity.

We felt cheated, we were all there to attend the 11 a.m. service.

There is great mean-ing and significance to

Nov 11, at 11 a.m. We all expect the

two minutes of silence to be at 11 a.m., period.

Last year it was the same, the service start-ed too early.

When you call Stella, what you get is a wriggly, little dog who so wants to please, but needs that reassurance that everything is going to be okay. Life has been a little rough on her so far. What she needs to thrive is a positive, stable home. Like many small dogs, Stella is excitable and is going to be very bouncy when she becomes comfortable with people. She is really cute but will need frequent grooming to look her best.

South ShuSwapArts alive in South Shuswap

The establishment of the new home of the Arts Council for the South Shuswap, in collaboration with the Carlin & District Rec-reation Association, is nearing completion on the lower level of Car-lin Hall. Together with the upstairs stage and kitchen facility, it will result in a new arts and cultural community centre for the area.

“This coming-together of the two groups has piqued the interest of community leaders in the Shus-wap, as the two non-profit organizations have found a creative way to work towards sustainability for both groups,” says Karen Brown, arts council administrator.

New Digs – Effec-tive Sept. 1 the Arts Council and all of its programming opened on the lower level of Carlin Hall.

The space boasts a large and comfortable foyer and waiting area for guests, a sprung floor and mirrored dance studio, two large sound-proofed music rooms and a bright and airy art room.

“What’s truly aston-ishing is, due to the

hard work of many contractors, trades and a hardworking core of volunteers, the con-struction took just over three months,” says Brown. “The push was definitely on to get the bulk of the improve-ments done so that children especially, could start their classes in dance, music, art and theatre before we ventured too far into the year.”

Brown gives much of the credit to Reg Walters of Walters Construction for see-ing the space come so far within the 90 days.

“Reg is a great guy, one who comes from a long-standing com-munity-minded family, the Walters from Notch Hill,” says Brown of Walters’ expertise and involvement in many infrastructure projects that revolved around the arts. “His knowl-edge, expertise and commitment to this initiative was invalu-able and we certainly couldn’t have pulled off a project of this magnitude without his involvement.”

Brown says other community part-ners such as Sorrento Building Centre, Con-

nor MacDonald Con-struction, Bill Jordan, RH Electric and many people who volun-teered countless hours, were instrumental in the renovation.

As well, assistance provided by Commu-nity Futures, was vital to the project, she adds

New Council – The Arts Council for the South Shuswap serves as an umbrella organi-zation overseeing four vibrant programs.

Founding Direc-tors are Lona Heinzig,

president; Ryan Kurz, vice- president; Rhys Laug, Shera Niewen-huizen, Elise Jonker and Hilary Brown as directors.

Each of the directors oversees an initiative, working collectively to support the council’s mandate and vision of fostering arts and cul-ture in the region.

FACES started as a private dance, art and music school in 2012, and is well known to most families in the South Shuswap.

As a new non-profit, FACES brought its programming to the arts council earlier this year. Classes now offered through the arts council are ballet, modern/lyrical, musi-cal theatre, hip hop, visual arts and lessons in voice, piano, guitar, banjo, violin, flute, cel-lo, oboe, trumpet, man-dolin, bass and more.

“The quality of teaching staff at FAC-

Home at last: Lower level of Carlin Hall place for many activities.

n The lower floor of Carlin Hall has become a visually beautiful and effi-cient space. Combined with the upstairs stage and kitchen facility, South Shuswap now has a new arts and cultural community centre.

Holistically speakingTree of Life Holistic

Healing Inc. owner and operator Karrie Bush believes in a holistic approach to self-care.

A Reiki master, Bush provides tradi-tional Japanese Reiki intended for mind and body well-being.

“It is an ancient method of healing, a holistic approach to balance the body and mind and it accelerates the body’s self-healing abilities,” she says.

Bush also offers sapphire abrasion and cold laser treatment, a crystal and suction-free system that uses vibration to painlessly abrade the outermost layers of the skin, re-vealing the healthier layers beneath.

Bush says the cold-light therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that works well on scars, stretch marks, expression lines, ton-ing and appearance that goes beyond a cos-metic change.

Bush says from her own experience and what she has seen in clients is increased self-confidence.

“When they come in for the skin treatments, they’re kind of shy, lacking a little self-confidence,” she says.

“When they are done the six treatments, it’s a transformation; you see them smiling and you see their light.”

Bush says the treat-ments are comple-mented by an organic

skin care line.“It’s all about health

and well-being,” she says.

That leads to the Reiki treatments Bush also provides.

“Reiki is excellent for healing any physi-cal, mental, emotional and spiritual issue of any kind,” he says.

Tree of Life Holis-tic Inc. is located at 4-2425 Golf Course Dr. in the Blind Bay Marketplace next to the Shuswap Lake Golf Course in Blind Bay.

Hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturdays by appoint-ment.

Bush hosts an open house from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 28.

Activities available for all agesES is unsurpassed with local artistic talents Sylvain Vallee, Larry Stephenson and Lynn Erin heading up the music and art, while Storm Dafoe and Cera Bollo take care of the dance department,” says Brown.

Adult workshops in pottery, art, painting, needle felting, fabric arts, dance, photogra-phy, storytelling, cre-ative writing and more are also offered.

The first Saturday of each month is Kids Day in the art studio, an affordable $10 two-hour art class where kids can create a won-derful take-home mas-terpiece.

The Arts Coun-cil, through FACES, strives to put program-ming in place to wel-come in all ages and levels of creativity.

Working alongside administrator Karen Brown, directors Ryan Kurz and Elise Jonker oversee FACES.

• Arts council direc-tors Laug and Heinzig oversee the children’s theatre, which has pre-sented three very suc-cessful productions, in-volving Shuswap kids from ages 5 to 15.

Treasure Island, Al-ice in Wonderland and A Grimm Night for Hans Christian Ander-sen have been present-ed under the direction of Ann Skelhorne.

“The kids take an ac-tive role in the creative process and new to the program this year, old-er kids in the company provide mentoring to younger children and new recruits joining the troupe for the first time,” says Brown.

Auditions for the 2016 production will take place later this month. If your child is interested, call Lona at 250-463-4536.

“We are very excited about the many pos-sibilities a partnership with the arts council entails,” says Carlin and District Recreation Association president Larry Stephenson.

“Bringing these two like-minded non-profit associations together will not only help to preserve our com-munity’s existing arts and cultural activities, it will also encourage growth as instructional programming becomes more accessible and opportunities for in-volvement from all age groups are provided.”

Adds Laug, “One of the key mandates for the arts council is to collaborate with other community groups and we are very excited to be presented with this opportunity to work on this long-term joint project with the Carlin Hall board.”

The story of the Car-lin Hall is much the same as most commu-nity associations in the area. The board works

very hard to fundraise in order to meet opera-tional costs for the hall each year.

Their mandate is to serve as a multi-pur-pose facility that can welcome community and family events and provide the public with cultural opportunities such as various music concerts and coffee houses.

The board is looking

to change the name of the society to the Car-lin Community Arts & Cultural Centre, which is more in line with the association’s mandate.

“Carlin Hall board was looking for a way to broaden program-ming resulting in more hours of use in a year,” says Laug, noting they already had a cultural focus, especially in music.

“The Arts Council shared that vision so collaboration moving forward seemed natu-ral.”

The hall has great highway access, is next to Carlin Elementary/Middle School and has its own performance stage and green room upstairs.

(NC) Kale, coconut water, brussel sprouts, fresh-pressed juices – these are just a few of the health trends keeping people fit. Trends are constantly changing of course and so are we. As the New Year approaches with resolutions in mind, the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) gives insights into a few of these nutritional sensations.

“Oils were all the rage this past year, whether they were being applied topically or drizzled on our favourite salads,” explains CHFA president, Helen Long. “We saw new oils on the market such as avocado oil, which is rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E. Avocado oil is also excellent for cooking or sautéing due to its high

smoke point. More beauty products on the market also included all-natural oils in their ingredients, such as coconut oil and argan oil.

We also saw all things fermented: from vegetables to beverages, the fermented foods trend swept Canada. Fermented tea, otherwise known as kombucha, started appearing on grocery-store shelves and in yoga studios. Flavoured with healthy ingredients such as ginger and antioxidant-rich fruits, this effervescent beverage became quite the fan favourite. We also saw fermented foods from different cultures like kimchi, sauerkraut and fermented garlic. The fermentation process liberates nutrients in our foods, helping us absorb phytonutrients, some amino acids, B vitamins and minerals like zinc and magnesium.

“We were aware of fermented tea, but a trend we didn’t expect to see was tea in our face

creams,” Long points out. “When polyphenol-rich tea is applied topically to the skin, these natural compounds have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation caused by UV exposure. It is this oxidative stress and inflammation that can lead to premature wrinkles, as collagen in the skin breaks down and the elasticity of the skin degrades. Green tea was an especially popular ingredient in natural beauty products this year.”

And, she says, Canadians are still going nuts for coconuts. “We saw all kinds of coconut products, such as coconut chips, coconut ice cream, and coconut-oil-based hair and skin products. This trend doesn’t seem to be dying down any time soon, but we’ll have to wait and see what the New Year brings.”

Tips to help your family fight the flu this season(NC) With each day the weather gets

colder, and thoughts turn to bundling up and hunkering down. But as the temperature drops, we are reminded that flu season is right around the corner.

“There are some really simple ways to help your family fight the flu this winter,” explains Laura Weyland, a pharmacist with Shoppers Drug Mart. “People don’t have to wait it out and hope for the best. There are three easy tips to help keep you healthy this year: eat well, wash your hands frequently, and get the flu shot.”

“While it’s important to make healthy food choices all year, it’s also a good idea to look at what you eat during flu season to ensure you’re getting the nutrients your body needs,” says Laura McCann, a registered dietitian with Loblaws. “Vitamins

C and E are antioxidants for the maintenance of good health while zinc supplements have been proven to help maintain immune function. Foods that contain an abundance of these are good to look for during your grocery shop.”

Below are a few foods that will help you maintain a healthy diet:

• Citrus Fruit - Not only are citrus fruits a good source of vitamin C, they’re naturally delicious. If fresh fruit is not an option, look for fresh or frozen 100% fruit juice.

• Beans and Legumes - Boost your zinc intake by including a variety of beans and legumes in your diet.

• Nuts and Seeds - A variety of nuts and seeds during cold and flu season help you benefit from vitamin E – a dietary antioxidant that helps in the maintenance of good health.

• Garlic - Raw garlic has been traditionally used in herbal medicine for hundreds of years to help relieve the symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract infections and catarrhal conditions.

To help protect your family, make sure everyone gets a flu shot. Flu shots are available at Shoppers Drug Mart or at your local grocery store pharmacy.

November is Diabe-tes Awareness Month

One of the most prevalent chronic dis-eases affecting almost 10 percent of Canadi-ans is diabetes.

Many people have the impression that dia-betes is a disease only for the overweight and under-exercised; how-ever, diabetes can af-fect anyone.

In fact, the risk fac-tors for diabetes are becoming so extensive that soon it will include things like “having a stressful job” or “hav-ing children.”

Diabetes became a temporary reality for me during my second pregnancy. For sev-eral months, I had to repeatedly check my

blood sugars, fret over my food intake and take insulin injections. Needless to say, it is a condition for which I empathize.

There are different types of diabetes, but they all relate to hav-ing higher-than-normal blood sugar levels.

Over time, this can have negative effects on all your vessels and put you at higher risk for heart attacks, kid-ney disease, blindness and nerve damage.

Treating diabetes is time-consuming and

expensive. Fifty-seven percent of Canadians with diabetes reported they cannot adhere to prescribed treatment due to the high out-of-pocket cost of needed medications, devices and supplies.

The good news about diabetes is that the most common form of diabetes, type 2 dia-betes, may be prevent-ed or at least delayed in many people.

One of the most con-vincing studies includ-ed 3,234 overweight Americans of varying

ethnicities diagnosed with pre-diabetes, a condition when your blood sugar levels are a little high, but not high enough to be classified as diabetic.

The group who made lifestyle changes (reduced calories and saturated fat and per-formed 150 minutes of activity per week, aiming to lose five to seven per cent of their body weight), reduced their risk of developing diabetes by 58 per cent compared to the group who did nothing.

The lifestyle change group also outper-formed the medication group.

Having a healthy lifestyle does not pre-clude you from getting diabetes; however, it significantly decreases your odds.

Making changes to better sustain our health is not always easy. The daily grind of choosing nutritious foods and getting our exercise can some-times feel futile.

However, while we do not fully understand

what causes diabetes, we do know that these things are important in preventing, delaying and treating diabetes.

Read the following paragraph about an education project and attempt to explain to the person next to you what the heck it means: “The program will fo-cus on project-based learning that supports elementary, secondary and university teach-ers co-designing and implementing cross-curricular learning tasks and appropriate evaluation tools. Areas of focus include en-hanced student learn-ing, building teacher capacity, utilizing in-novative practices, connecting with the community, and deep-

ening the learning net-work.”

I received the email and that paragraph, the crucial passage designed to describe what the program is all about, is essentially in-decipherable.

It was the latest in a long list of government bafflegab in which PR people apparently feel the need to use and abuse buzzwords, stretch convoluted sen-tences to the extreme and insert every hard-to-understand piece of jargon they can find to justify the press releas-es they send out.

It is maddening, frustrating and irritat-ing — and the above paragraph that arrived in my email inbox this week pushed me over the edge.

I read it. I read it again. I read it a third time.

I printed it out and asked some co-workers to read it.

They had to do so two or three times be-fore coming to the un-derstanding they did not understand what it was the author was try-ing to tell us.

So, I emailed the sender, a member of B.C. Government Cau-cus Communications, and asked if he could boil that paragraph down into a simplified explanation even my cat could understand.

He replied, noting that hideous paragraph housing that obnoxious collection of confusion was actually written by someone at a school in Kamloops and was sent to the Ministry of Education as part of the project proposal.

The communica-tions guy sent me some ministry background, but conceded “it’s also pretty dense.”

Such jargon-filled paragraphs are ap-parently enough of a problem that both the

federal and provin-cial governments have plain-writing guides for their employees.

British Columbia has a plain-language web page that advises its employees to write in simple terms. It advises to “cut unnecessary words, avoid jargon whenever possible by using everyday lan-guage, use words that are clear and common-ly used by the audi-ence and use concrete language with terms familiar to everyday people.”

Other governments have actually passed legislation, mandating their employees to use plain language.

Five years ago, U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law the Plain Writing Act of 2010, which calls for plain language in every government document issued to the public.

The web site has some excellent exam-

ples of how one can clean up a message.

Here’s hoping the next government-relat-ed paragraph that lands in my inbox is rinsed clean of verbose buzz-words that do little but obscure the message.

Use plain language instead of cheesy buzzwords

Successful events provide spin-offfor school lunch program & parkThe members of the Salmon Arm

Rotary Club (aka as “the lunch club”) have been very busy the last few months raising money for local projects. Two successful fundraisers were held, with the proceeds used to support club projects including the elementary school lunch program, youth exchange and a new picnic shelter for Blackburn Park.

Wine FestivalOur annual Shuswap Wine Festival

was a great success, with over 400 people attending, sampling 80 different wines from 19 British Columbia wineries. The wines were complemented by chocolates, cheeses, and savories supplied by sponsors throughout the Okanagan Valley, as well as a marvellous wide assortment of appetizers.

Thanks to people in the community who bought tickets and to our 20 local sponsors who supported the ticket sales drive, we were able to raise $9,000.

Shopping SpreeThe Club sold tickets to a shopping

spree at Askew’s Foods throughout October and November. A second prize was a $250 gas card from theCo-op Gas Bar.

The Shopping Spree ticket draw was held at 5:00pm November 30 at Uptown Askews. The winner of the shopping spree was Pat Timpany of Salmon Arm. The winner of the $250 gas card was Lindsay Quintal.

Mr. and Mrs. Timpany had their shopping spree at the downtown Askew’s Foods location at 7:30am Saturday, December 5. They were ably assisted by Rotarian Dan Hudson, who made a fantastic run around the store and totted up $1,595 in groceries

for them. A BIG THANK-YOU to all of you who purchased tickets. Approximately $5,800 was raised.

In the New YearRotarians will get an early start at the

31st annual Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet - the BBQ gets fired up at around 4AM so that our renowned Beef-on-a-Bun is ready for the over 500 participants and volunteers by 10AM, January 17th.

We have some other great events planned over the next few months including a “Dram Good Evening”

scotch tasting and dinner event, Sunday, January 25th, 5PM at The Wicked Spoon. Limited tickets are available.

Also in the works is a vocational information event in partnership with Okanagan College. This free event will offer one-on-one advice to individuals interested in entering different fields of work. It will be a chance about education requirements and what to expect on the job. Stay tuned for details at www.salmonarmrotary.org.

Youth ExchangeThis year’s Inbound Youth Exchange students are – Gustavo “Fred” Marques and Fernando de Castro, both from Brazil. Both are 17 years old and attending Salmon Arm Secondary School. Fred is sponsored by the Salmon Arm Rotary Club and Fernando by the Shuswap Rotary Club.

Outbound Youth Exchange interviews are held each year in September. More info @ www.rotary.org or email Warne Lynd at [email protected] Gustavo “Fred” Marques

Saturday night, the Shuswap Rotary club had one of the most successful auctions yet. A big thanks goes out to all the businesses who were so generous

with their donations as well as the many guests who supported us with their generous bids. The total for the evening surpassed $70,000, our best auction yet

Along with all the club members and all their hard work, we were supported by the exchange students and some of the local air cadets

The � nale for the evening was a performance with James Johnson where several of the audience were treated with the opportunity to walk on a bed of broken glass without injury

Finally, Shuswap Rotary has just initiated a new pro-gram called “Friends of Rotary”

They may be snowbirds, have numerous other family commitments or be involved with other organizations. However, they would like to help on a speci� c Rotary project , or one of their work parties in the community.

We can always use an extra pair of hands and we would welcome their help. If someone would like to become involved in a limited way, we will put them on a email fan-out several times a year where they advised of the coming events and they can contact us for further details or to sign up for a day.

The Rotary club has also enjoyed the best year ever with their Salmon Arm bus pass program A growing number of residents on � xed incomes in greater Salmon Arm have been able to get a 1 year bus pass for $10 with the remainder of the cost being provided by the club . The ridership of the busses in Salmon Arm is steadily increasing mak-ing the transit system much more viable. This year we have provided 76 passes The passes are only good for the local busses.

Along with many other initiatives and funding assistance for local groups , we provided a cheque for $1000 for the local air cadets recently.

Rotary students this year are, L to R: Krysta St. Onge, Hannah Bates, Sarina Fritsche of Switzerland, Eduardo Marin of Chile and Maddi Genn.

Chad Eliason, Bruce Bolton and Bill Laird enjoy the

Brain injury society gets fundsThe North Okanagan/Shuswap

Brain Injury Society (NOSBIS) has received a grant of $33,371 to help it more effectively carry out services for its clients.

The grant has been used for sup-port worker funding to assist with the society’s high case load and ensure continued quality service to NOSBIS clients.

“We have had nothing but positive feedback in terms of our new support worker,” NOSBIS executive director Robyn Coatta said. “Our clientele and NOSBIS are extremely grate-

ful and thankful for the B.C. gov-ernment funding, through the Brain Injury Alliance. It is because of this critical grant funding that NOSBIS is able to continue to provide a high quality of service.”

NOSBIS provides support and advocacy services to people with ac-quired brain injury and their families.

“This funding ensures the organi-zation is able to maintain and expand the services it provides to clients, which makes a positive impact on our communities,” Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said.

First responder petition comes to Piccadilly

Working on the front lines of emergency service, as a para-medic, firefighter, police officer, first responder or dispatcher, is inherently a stressful job.

Don Devine, a retired para-medic who now lives in Scotch Creek, is part of an effort to have this notion recognized in legislation, so that front-line emergency workers can have easier access to treatment and counselling to deal with the stresses from their work, be it paid or volunteer.

He’ll be set up in the Mall at Piccadilly to collect signatures on Wednesday, Nov. 25 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Devine is petitioning for a “presumptive clause” to be add-ed to WorkSafe BC and other legislation. This means that it is automatically presumed that a person with this type of job is at risk for mental-health problems like post-traumatic stress dis-order, and can access treatment immediately rather than having to prove their claim is legitimate.

“Even though things have im-proved, we want more protec-tion for people who have a men-tal health injury. With jobs like these, it can be one traumatic event that can trigger an issue, or a lot of little things that can get you, but the results can be the same – depression, withdrawal, anger, exhaustion,” says Devine. “These are our first respond-

ers and they deserve immediate care and financial assistance, not going through a runaround of defining whether they have a legitimate claim.”

Devine and others involved in the cause have also gar-nered some significant support. On Sept. 24, the Union of BC Municipalities unanimously passed a resolution supporting a presumptive clause for first re-sponders in B.C.

Devine also plans to visit malls and other public places in Chase, Sorrento and Vernon with copies of the petition, and hopes that when people see him, they will add their names to the effort. You can learn more about the issue at: www.youareno-taloneptsdbc.ca.

Paris: the terrorist strategy

As always after a major terrorist attack on the West, the right question to ask after the slaughter in Paris is: what were the stra-tegic aims behind the attack?

This requires getting your head around the concept that terrorists have rational strate-gies, but once you have done that the motives behind the attacks are easy to figure out. It also becomes clear that the motives have changed.

The 9/11 attacks on the United States in 2001 followed the clas-sical terrorist strategy of trying to trick the target government into over-reacting in ways that ultimately serve the terrorists’ interests. Al-Qaeda’s goal was to sucker the United States into invading Muslim countries.

Al Qaeda was a revo-lutionary organization whose purpose was to overthrow existing Arab governments and take power in the Arab countries, which it would then reshape in accord with its extreme Islamist ideology.

The trouble was that Islamist movements were not doing very well in building mass support in the Arab world, and you need mass support if you want to make a revolu-tion.

Osama bin Laden’s innovation was to switch the terrorist at-tacks from Arab gov-ernments to Western ones, in the hope of luring them into inva-sions that would radi-calize large number of Arabs and drive them into the arms of the Islamists. His hopes were fulfilled by the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Once the Western troops went in, there was a steep decline in terrorist attacks on Western countries. Al-Qaeda wanted West-ern troops to stay in the Middle East and radicalize the local populations, so it made no sense to wage a ter-rorist campaign that might make Western countries pull their troops out again.

The resistance in Iraq grew quickly and attracted Islamist fight-ers from many other Arab countries. The organization originally known as “Al-Qaeda in Iraq” underwent sev-eral name changes, to “Islamic State in Iraq” in 2006; then to “Is-lamic State in Iraq and Syria” – ISIS for short – in 2013, and finally to simply “Islamic State” in 2014. But the key personnel and the long-term goals remained the same throughout.

The man who now calls himself the “Ca-liph” of Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Bahdadi, first joined “Al-Qaeda in Iraq” and started

fighting the US occu-pation forces in Iraq in 2004. But along the way the strategy changed, for ISIS even-tually grew so strong that it conquered the extensive territories in Syria and Iraq that now make up Islamic State. Popular revolutions were no longer needed. The core strategy now is simply conquest.

In that case, why are Islamic State and Al-Qaeda still attack-ing Western targets? One reason is because the jihadi world is now split between two rival jihadi franchises that are competing for sup-porters.

Spectacular terror-ist operations against Western targets appeal to both franchises be-cause they are a pow-erful recruiting tool in jihadi circles. But Islamic State has a fur-ther motive: it actually wants Western attacks on it to cease.

It’s a real state now, with borders and an army and a more or less functional economy. It doesn’t want Western

forces interfering with its efforts to consoli-date and expand that state, and it hopes that terrorist attacks on the West may force them to pull out.

France is a prime target because French aircraft are part of the Western-led coali-tion bombing Islamic State, and because it’s relatively easy to re-cruit terrorists from France’s large, impov-erished and alienated Muslim minority.

Russia has also be-come a priority target since its aircraft started bombing jihadi troops in Syria, and the recent crash of a Russian air-liner in Sinai may be due to a bomb planted by Islamic State.

So the outlook is for more terrorist at-tacks wherever Islamic State (and, to a lesser extent, Al-Qaeda) can find willing volunteers. Western countries with smaller and better in-tegrated Muslim com-munities are less vul-nerable than France, but they are targets too.

Putting foreign

ground troops into Syria would only make matters worse, so the least bad option for all the countries con-cerned is to ride the terrorist campaign out. Horrendous though the attacks are, they pose a very small risk to the average citizen of these countries.

Statistically speak-ing, it’s still more dangerous to cross the street, let alone climb a ladder.

Interior Health is introducing a new alcohol and drug intensive program (ADIP) this month.

ADIP is a four-week, three days-a-week inten-sive outpatient program for adults who are experi-encing challenges with substance use.

“It provides a safe environment in which par-ticipants are encouraged to relate to themselves and others in a more authentic and healthy way to gain more insight into and skills to cope with their substance issues,” reads an IH document.

The program is described as being a great alter-native to residential treatment.

The program outlines several goals.• educate clients about the development and

patterns of addiction, triggers and cravings, re-lapse prevention, the process of change, the role of support groups and stress and coping skills;

• explore underlying issues that may have con-tributed to substance use;

• gain further awareness of the role substance use plays in clients’ lives and to recreate their life story and

• experience and release some of the emotion-al barriers in the way of meeting their recovery goals.

Clients will explore relevant topics through vid-eos, lectures, discussions, homework and group activities.

The next group will run from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays from Nov. 25 to Dec. 11 at the downtown office of Mental Health and Substance Use at 431 Hudson Ave.

Referrals to the ADIP can be made through a clinician or through the substance abuse intake process Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Mental Health and Substance Use office.

For more information, call 250-833-4103.

In a whirln Jenelle Petersen of Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble performs at the 24 annual Sleigh of Hope Jamboree at the Mall at Piccadilly on Saturday, Nov. 14. The event kicks off the Christmas campaign to gather food, gifts and cash for the Salvation Army Food Bank.


Region featured in cemetery name

“Shuswap” won out over “Woodlands” and “Forest Grove.”

As part of the city’s cemetery master plan in 2013, city staff be-gan compiling a list of suggested names for the new cemetery.

Staff report that

Deborah Chapman, cu-rator of the R.J. Haney Heritage Museum, was consulted and provided historical information about the site as well as some suitable names.

A list of 14 possible names was compiled and narrowed down to three.

The final three were: Shuswap Memorial

Cemetery, Woodlands Memorial Cemetery and Forest Grove Cem-etery. And the winner was… Shuswap Me-morial Cemetery.

The staff report notes that the names of the sections in the cemetery follow a for-est theme that include spruce, fir, cedar, pine, aspen and oak.

1. Local Economic Stimulus

When you purchase from locally-owned businesses more money is kept in the commu-nity because locally-owned businesses often purchase from other local businesses, and trades and service pro-viders. Purchasing local helps grow other busi-nesses as well as the lo-cal economy.

2. Local Businesses support your lifestyle

Local business own-ers donate more to lo-cal schools, charities and sporting clubs than non-local owners.

3. Most Jobs Are Provided By Local Businesses

Small local business-es are the largest em-ployers nationally.

4. Unique Businesses Create Character & Prosperity

The unique character of your local commu-nity is de� ned largely by local business and

that plays a big part in the overall satisfaction with where you live and the value of your home and property.

5. Customer Service Is Better

Local businesses of-ten hire people with more speci� c product expertise for better cus-tomer service.

6. You can sometimes try before you buy

ers are generally on-site and it’s easier to ask a local if you may sample or trial a product. Try asking chain store staff or an online merchant if you can sample the product before decid-ing to buy!

7. Local Business Owners Invest In Com-munity

Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community,

are less likely to leave, and are more commit-ted to the community’s welfare and future.

8. Public Bene� ts Far Outweigh Public Costs

Local businesses re-quire comparatively little infrastructure and more ef� ciently utilize public services.

9. You Matter MoreYour values and de-

sires are much more in� uential to you local

business than the large chain stores.

10. You might get a better deal or some good advice

Local businesses use their discretion to re-ward regular customers with discounts on items you actually want to buy. They can also tell you all about products you want to buy and personally recommend products.

Here’s 10 good reasons to keep your money local

To encourage more B.C. residents to test their homes for radon, the BC Lung Associa-tion is giving away ra-don test kits to three lucky contest winners every month. Sign up at RadonAware.ca.

“We hope our monthly contest will inspire more people to take the health risk of radon more seriously. Radon gas is account-able for up to 16 per cent of lung cancers and we suggest all B.C. residents test their homes,” says Coleman Graf, volunteer BC Lung Association di-rector for Salmon Arm.

Exposure to colour-less, odourless radon gas is the leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. B.C. residents, particularly those living in the In-terior where levels of radon gas are known to be elevated, are urged to test their homes this winter.

“Should British Columbians be con-

cerned about radon exposure? Yes. Should they panic? No,” says Britt Swoveland, Ra-donAware manager for the BC Lung Associa-tion.

“The risks from ra-don are cumulative, which means serious effects result from ex-posure to high levels over a long period of time. But it is impor-tant residents test for radon and, depending on the result, effective mitigation solutions exist.”

Measured in bec-querels per cubic metre (Bq/m3), Health Cana-da recommends home radon levels not exceed a safety guideline of 200 (Bq/m3). As there is no known safe level of exposure, the BC Lung Association rec-ommends making ev-ery effort to minimize home radon levels to lowest levels possible.

“One house can have radon levels next to zero while the house next door can be off

the charts,” continued Swoveland. “A certi-� ed radon mitigation professional can re-duce radon levels in most homes by more

than 80 per cent for about the same cost as other common home repairs, rarely more than $1,500 to $3,500.”

To learn more about

how radon affects your lung health – and to enter the monthly ra-don test kit giveaway contest – go to the BC Lung Association’s website RadonAware.ca or call the BC Lung Association toll-free at 1.800.665.5864.

For those who want to test right away, af-fordable do-it-yourself radon test kits are also available for purchase online at RadonAware.ca and include home delivery of lab results for $30.

Home radon testing encouraged

Hard work and determination will pay off for Shea Weber in February when he suits up in the red and whites of Team Canada.

The 24-year-old Sicamous product was tagged last month to represent the nation in the 2010 Olympic Games. It’s a goal Weber had been working towards, and an opportu-nity he’s proud to be part of.

“The Olympics are a very special event, not only for hockey but for winter sports and to be able to play for your country and compete for a medal is kind of neat,” says Weber.

The 6’4”, 234 lb. Nashville Predators defenceman will be sporting the maple leaf with other big names in hockey like Scott

Niedermayer (Anaheim Ducks), Roberto Luongo (Vancouver Canucks), Chris Pronger (Philadelphia Flyers) and Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Pen-guins).

Apart from a camp held last summer, We-ber guesses the team may have a couple of days to gel in February before hitting the ice in Whistler, and he’s interest-ed in seeing how everyone fi ts. But Weber’s mom and dad, Tracy and James, don’t ex-pect Shea will have any problems.

“Whatever they want him to do, he’ll do it,” said James. “He’s a team-fi rst guy, he’s not a selfi sh player at all.”

Both parents share what could be described as a subdued excite-ment for their son and the hon-our that’s been bestowed up on him.

“Shea phoned home and said ‘I’ve been chosen

to play in the Olympics, and I said ‘okay,’” Tracy commented, explaining it’s kind of a family trait not to overreact – one that Shea

shares. But she and James who, with Shea,share roots in Sicamous minor hockey, are defi nitely excited, and are hoping to attendat least one of their son’s games.

Sicamous Eagles manager Wayne Marchis also pretty excited by the news that Shea, an Eagle alumni, will be playing forhis community and country at the Games.March says Shea has been totally focusedthroughout his career on what he wanted todo: make it to the NHL. In the process, Sheahelped the Eagles win the KIJHL West-ern Canadians in 2001-02; he helped takethe Kelowna Rockets to three consecutiveWHL Memorial Cup championship games,including the win in 2004; and, after signingwith Nashville in 2004, he helped the Ca-

1. Local Character and ProsperityIn an increasingly homogenized world, communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character have an economic advantage.

2. Community Well-BeingLocally owned businesses build strong communities by sustaining vibrant town centers, linking neighbors in a web of economic and social relationships, and contributing to local causes.

3. Local Decision-MakingLocal ownership ensures that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions.

4. Keeping Dollars in the Local EconomyCompared to chain stores, locally owned businesses recycle a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community.

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved George. He will be greatly missed by his wife Eileen, brother Bob, son Darwin, step-daughter Laura, nine grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents Claude and Yvonne and sisters, Lorraine Hobson and Louise Rafferty.

George was raised in Chase Creek and went to school in Chase. He went on to work for Mattey Bro. and 35 years with BC Hydro, which took him to most parts of BC. His retirement years were spent on his hobby farm where he became famous for his amazing garlic. Many hours were devoted to the Skmana Cross Country Ski Club and the Chase and Dist. Fish and Game Club.

A memorial service will be held at the Chase Community Hall on Saturday November 21, 2015 at 1:00 PM.

In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Children’s Hospital in memory of George.

Chase officers set up two vehicle check stops

The following is a summary of a week and a half in the lives of 23-plus Chase Heat hockey players.

In late afternoon on Remembrance Day, the team travels to the Olympic size rink the Kamloops foes call home base. Chase, as the team is apt to do on many occasions, opens scoring in the 1st – Ethan Buck with his first of the season from Kolten Moore and Spencer Farstad. In the 2nd there is no scoring and then, late in the 3rd, the Storm tie things up. Off to overtime 4 on 4 and hockey magic fails as Kamloops pops in the winner to take a 2-1 overtime win. The Heat get a point for the tie in regulation time. Nic Bruyere stops 25 of 27 in a valiant effort.

Up comes the weekend

and the boys hop on the bus to head east to Invermere and Golden for a couple of games of shinny. It’s Saturday night at the home of the Columbia Val-ley Rockies. They are big and seeking revenge for a loss on the shores of Little Shuswap Lake, but 22 seconds into the 1st, the injury-free Tommy Brown puts a frown on the faces of the locals, assisted by Trevor Okino and Travis Beau-bien. Then on the second shot of the game for the Heat, Lo-gan Mostat rifles one home, as-sisted by Zachary Fournier and Beaubien. The Rockies im-mediately switch goaltenders and the result changes the visi-tors’ momentum. Invermere pops one in shorthanded and it’s a 2-1 contest. In the 2nd, Michael Fidanza on the power play restores the advantage, assisted by Beaubien and Ma-son Palaga. In the 3rd, Fidanza adds to his KIJHL rookie scor-

ing lead by popping in his sec-ond from Pat Brady and Kyle Riley, an all-rookie effort! The Heat outshoot the opposition 48-28, with Bruyere allowing only one to squeak past him.

So Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, the boys arrive in Golden to play the Rockets. This snake-bitten competitor has just had their first victory of the season, after 22 attempts. Beware the coiled rattlesnake as one team has nothing to lose and the other is walking into this con-test half awake and clearly un-motivated by the opportunity. As usual, Chase scores first in the 1st, Fidanza from Coleton Johnson and Braden Hughes, even more reason to relax. In the 2nd the Rockets take ad-vantage not once, not twice, but three times, and the Heat are dazed and confused. In the 3rd a bit of a comeback occurs, as Fournier scores from Mostat

and Hughes and then Kolten Moore from Hughes and Oki-no tie it up. Overtime proves nothing and these two “kiss their sister” as the expression goes as they each get a point. Daniel Toews plays well, stop-ping 21 of 24 in net.

Hot Shots: Beaubien assist-ed on three of the four goals in the Invermere game and then dropped the gloves in Golden to take a decision. A very de-cent weekend contribution.

Veteran Hayden Orton and rookie Cale Marchuk were re-leased to get the team down to the 23-man roster limit. Tom-my Brown scored on his first shot after missing 10 games due to injury.

The Heat organization mourns the passing of billet dad and team supporter George Carlin. The community-mind-ed great guy will be missed. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.

Hey Everyone! I trust you all had a great week, and are trying to stay nice and toasty warm! With the winter season rolling in, things are getting busier and busier around Village Lanes! Today, I’m going to talk to you a little bit about an event that is coming up. It is not an event run by Village Lanes. We are mere-ly a venue for the event, but it is for SUCH a great cause, that I � gured it would de� nitely be worth mentioning. A couple of special ladies in the community of Chase have spent countless hours preparing, organizing, and planning for this very special event. Are you ready? IT’S LADIES NIGHT! Yes, you heard me. Ladies Night! To be precise, it is the 2nd Annual La-dies Sip & Shop Extravaganza! As a lady living in Chase, it can sometimes be frustrating not being able to always shop locally. Well, that’s what this event is all about! 15 local vendors set up shop inside Village Lanes, get together for one night of the year, and sell, sell, sell to all of the ladies in Chase and surrounding areas! Vendors range from Scentsy representatives, to Christie Mickelson Photography, and even Pas-sion Party’s somewhere in between! The cost of tickets is $10.00/person, you automatically get a door prize ticket simply for showing up, and the best part? Wine is on special! I mean, really, what goes better together than wine and shop-ping?! Appetizers are made available for the la-dies to snack on throughout the evening while browsing the vendor stations. 100% of all ticket proceeds are donated to the Chase Toy Store. What an amazing cause. Ladies, to be a part of this special event tomorrow night, please swing by Village Lanes and get your ticket today!

The Adams River Salmon Society was honoured on Nov. 4 at the 11th annual BC Inte-rior Stewardship Workshop in Enderby, hosted by the Fraser Basin Council and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

The society was presented with Fraser Basin Council’s BC Interior Stewardship Award for Ecosystem Excellence for their role in hosting and manag-ing the internationally famous Adams River “Salute to the Sockeye” for the last 20 years, among many other accomplish-ments.

The society was nominated for the award by Wes DeAr-mond, area supervisor with BC Parks. The society has “de-livered in a big way” when it comes to providing public inter-pretation and recreation, states DeArmond.

Brenda Melnychuk, a vol-

unteer with the Adams River group, was present at the work-shop last week and accepted the award on behalf of the society.

“It’s an honour for the society to be recognized in this way,” Melnychuk said.

Society president Darlene McBain, who was not present at the workshop, described the collaborative and multi-task na-ture of the society.

“The salute is a huge commu-nity effort. The society has put in an incredible amount of vol-unteer effort at Roderick Haig-Brown Park so that thousands of visitors can come out and see the salmon.”

The society has been instru-mental in pulling together com-munities and recruiting volun-teers to organize and host the Salute the Sockeye event, held once every four years at Rod-erick Haig-Brown Provincial

Park. Since 2010, the interpre-tive cabin at the park has been open to assist and welcome visi-tors.

In addition to providing pub-lic interpretation, the society volunteers help keep people safe during their visit and edu-cate visitors on the importance of minimizing their impact on the sensitive environment.

The Ecosystems Excellence Award is given out each year at the annual workshop to an organization or individual who meets the award criteria.

The criteria are: (a) demonstrating excellent

leadership of a stewardship organization, (b) demonstrat-ing responsible use, protection, and/or restoration of stream re-sources, or (c) promoting public awareness, appreciation, under-standing and concern for eco-systems.

OLUND, HARVEY ARNOLD

It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the death of Kevin Bruce Coates on November 2, 2015. Kevin was born March 24, 1959, the last in a line of six siblings. Kevin grew up in Chase on the family farm. Kevin had a passion for anything with a motor, the faster it went the better. Many of you will remember his mud-bogging days with “Blue Thunder.” One of his other passions was fishing. He was happiest with a fishing rod in his hand.

Kevin started working for CP Rail at a young ageand made many friends there who still remain his friends today (his CP family). He became a Heavy Duty Mechanic and continued his employmentat CP Rail until he retired and opened his ownmechanical repair shop at his home in Chase - KC and Sons.

Kevin loved his sons. They were his world. Hetook them on as many camping, fishing, andhunting trips as they wanted. He worked hard to give “his boys” whatever they wanted and to guide them through life as best he could.

Kevin faced many challenges in his short life, mostof which he overcame. The last was too much.

Kevin will be loved and remembered by “his boys”Devon (Daria) Coates, Matthew Coates, Braden(Kimberlyn) Coates, Chance Coates and ShaleCoates. Also mourning Kevin’s loss are his brothers Dave (Carole) Coates, Ken (Maureen) Coates, Gary(Sandra) Coates, his sisters Judy (Bert) Deneault,and Holly (Pete) Mintz, and many nephews, nieces and cousins. He was predeceased by his mom and dad “Bud” and Ruby Coates, and brother-in-lawTerry Hand.

A memorial gathering for Kevin took place onSunday, November 8, 2015 at the home of Garyand Sandra Coates at 4580 Kamloops-ShuswapRoad.

Pull out your win-ter woollies, grab some nutritious, non-perishable food items (new and never opened please) and get ready for the arrival of the annual CP Rail Holi-day Train.

Every year, Holiday Trains travel through dozens of communi-ties, raising food and cash donations for North American food banks.

Scheduled to pull into Salmon Arm by the Lordco parking lot at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 16, the brightly lit train provides great enter-tainment for the whole family and reminds us that not everyone has the wherewithal to cel-ebrate Christmas.

Again this year, the Holiday Train program is encouraging people attending events to bring heart-healthy do-nations.

Heart-health educa-tion and awareness is a tenet of CP’s com-munity investment program, CP Has Heart, which focuses on improving the heart health of men, women and children in com-munities across North

America. The two brightly lit

trains will roll out of the Montreal area on Nov. 27 and 28 on their way to visit approxi-mately 150 communi-ties.

The Canadian train travels west across Canada finishing its journey in Port Co-quitlam. The U.S. Train visits communities across the U.S. North-east and Midwest, and returns back to Canada for shows in Saskatch-ewan and Alberta.

This year, the enter-tainment will be pro-vided by Jim Cuddy, a member of the Cana-dian country rock band Blue Rodeo, Devin Cuddy and Kelly Prescott.

The Salmon Arm Observer - Shuswap Market News Shus-wap Christmas cam-paign has begun.

Bring in a bag of nu-tritious, non-perishable food to the office at 171 Shuswap Street in exchange for a tag from the Christmas tree, whose number corresponds to a gift certificate provided by local businesses.

Please note, food that is past its “best before” date will not be accepted. Nor will food that has previous-

ly been opened. Tags are available

as well for a minimum $20 cash donation.

The food and cash gathered in the office will go to the Salvation Army Food Bank.

Gratiela Pachmann will sing for the chil-dren.

Christmas with Gra-tiela on Saturday, Dec. 5 will feature an eve-ning of beautiful music with all proceeds going to iLearn Street.

Often described as having the voice of an angel, Gratiela has per-formed sold-out con-certs in the past.

“I am passionate about giving back to the community,” she says. “The (iLearn) event was cancelled in June and that’s when I realized I will do this concert so we have funds in place to have a fair that is free for all kids.”

Gratiela explains that iLearn Street allows children and youth from six to 15 to ex-perience, imagine and actively participate in various learning oppor-tunities through fun, interesting, innovative and interactive meth-ods.

An event at the fair-grounds in 2013 was organized by Shus-wap Eagles Pathfinder Club, a non-profit or-ganization sponsored by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. It featured 13 interesting and innovative stations that drew rave reviews from children and par-ents.

Gratiela is a care aide at Hillside Vil-lage. Her last concert was two years ago in Calgary with the mul-tiple award-winning Canadian tenor group, Tenore.

The Christmas with Gratiela concert will feature seasonal music along with songs from her album, Gratiela: The Voice of an Angel, which was released three years ago.

“Tenore performs on my album; we have collaborated with the same producers in Prague,” she says, of the album that was re-corded with the Prague Philharmonic Orches-tra.

Members of the Shuswap Seventh Day

Adventist Children’s Choir, including her son Everett Pachmann, will perform Edel-weiss.

Gratiela will perform O Holy Night, Silent Night, Va’pensiero by Guiseppe Verdi (chorus of the Hebrew slaves) and Michael Bublé’s Home.

Gratiela is looking forward to perform-ing Holy City with Bronwyn Christianson and a string ensemble consisting of violin-ists Carmen Stoney, Cherish Stoney, Naomi Chan and Tamar Skin-ner, Barb Ennis and Madelyn Stoney play-ing cello, Deverick Clingwall on bass and Andrew Stoney on piano.

“I will open with Amazing Grace,” Gra-tiela says. “One of my residents calls me that so I’m doing that for him.”

A classically trained soprano-lyric with a four-octave range, Gratiela was born and raised in Romania dur-ing the brutal reign of Nicolae Ceauescu.

A graduate of the town’s Scoala Popu-lara de Arta, she was in the post office to make copies of a poster ad-vertising an upcoming competition, when she met her future husband.

A Salmon Arm resident and part of a Pentecostal Church mission in Romania to distribute food and clothing, Tim was in the company of a pas-tor, his wife and anoth-er missionary couple.

They spoke no Ro-manian. Gratiela spoke no English.

But with the help of a colleague who could speak English, a friendship was born and three days prior to returning to Canada, Tim dropped a bomb-shell by asking Gratie-la’s parents for permis-sion to marry her.

Romance blossomed by telephone over the next six months and in July, 1993, Tim re-turned to Romania with an airplane ticket and an engagement ring.

While her introduc-

tion to Salmon Arm was overwhelming at first, Gratiela has grown to love this com-munity and performing for a local crowd.

“I haven’t had a con-cert for three years and I want people to come and enjoy,” she says.

To listen to her new album, visit www.you-tube.com.singevents.

The concert takes place at 6 p.m. Sat-urday, Dec. 5 at The Gathering Place 350 30th St. NE. Tickets are $20 at Wearabouts, Shuswap Health Foods or at the door.
