Bennett told the News that the $50,000 is spe-

cifically for a pilot proj-

ect that will “test the

technology the District

of Sicamous is propos-

ing to use for the drink-

ing water treatment

project that will come

next,” a treatment facil-

ity expected to cost $4.5

million.

“It is preliminary but

our staff has worked

with the district staff

and we think it’s pretty

close, a pretty reliable

number, so we’re cur-

rently looking for the

$4.5 million to do it,”

said Bennett. “I don’t

know where we’re go-

ing to get all the money

from yet, but it’s my top

priority in the province

and I need to find a way

to make it happen. I just

don’t know where all

the money is going to

come from yet.”

Explaining what the

pilot project will in-

volve, District of Si-

camous works services

manager Grady Mac-

Donald said a unit con-

taining water filtration

membranes, such as

those that would be

used in the proposed

treatment facility, would

be plugged into the ex-

isting water system.

“We will run our raw

water through it for a

minimum of three

months,” says MacDon-

ald. “That will give us

enough information that

we can decide what

we’re going to do.

There’s at least half a

dozen different types of

suppliers of this type of

technology out there

now. We all share the

same information that

we get from the tests.”

MacDonald said he is

confident in the type of

filtration being used,

but adds testing is still

required.

“I’m not going to say

it’s mandatory, but it’s

highly recommended. I

don’t know of too many

municipalities that have

proceeded with a filtra-

tion plant and not done

a pilot test,” MacDon-

ald explained.

Trouton says he’s not

surprised with the prov-

ince coming through so

soon after the Septem-

ber UBCM convention,

where council – accom-

panied by Shuswap

MLA George Abbott –

met with Bennett to talk

about the district’s need

for a solution regarding

water treatment. The

mayor was surprised,

however, that Bennett

himself made the trip to

Sicamous. He said it

gave the minister an op-

portunity to see first-

hand the issues the dis-

trict is dealing with.

This included the silt-

ing in the channel, and

Trouton expects the for-

mal process to have it

dredged will also move

forward.

Asked about Ben-

nett’s pledge to find the

$4.5 million, Trouton

says he’s confident the

province will come to

the table on this too.

“And that the pre-

mier, Christy Clark

made the announce-

ment – once they make

these big announce-

ments like this, it’s pret-

ty hard for them not to

come forward with it,”

said Trouton.

Money for water equipment tests

Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors are telling Ot-tawa to leave well enough alone.

The board added its voice to the chorus of concern over pro-posed federal electoral boundary changes.

Directors reviewed a Sept. 26 letter from the City of Armstrong to the Federal Electoral Bound-aries Commission for British Columbia protesting the removal of Falkland from the North-Oka-nagan Shuswap riding.

Area D Falkland-Silver Creek-Ranchero director René Talbot said not only would the change mean Falkland residents, who

are closely tied to Vernon, would have to go to Kelowna to see their MP, but would split his elec-toral area.

Talbot said the change would make it impossible for people to see their MP and asked the board to support a strongly worded letter protesting the changes.

“This makes no sense, all these realignments,” Talbot said, frus-tration evident. “They want to install 30 new MPs. How much is that going to cost? Economic times are pretty tough all over the world right now and I don’t

know why they (MPs) can’t look after 110,000 peo-ple.”

Newly elected Area C South Shus-wap director Paul Demenok seconded Talbot’s motion, pointing out pro-posed boundary changes would also

effectively cut Sorrento in half.But Demenok noted the board

meeting was his first since his September byelection win and he would be investigating the boundary issue further.

Directors agreed unanimously to tell the commission to leave the boundaries where they are.

In the summer of 1988,

Chris Czajkowski walked

into the wilderness of Brit-

ish Columbia’s Central

Coast Mountains to build a

homestead ... and a life.

For close to 30 years,

Czajkowski lived at Nuk

Tessli (which means ‘west

wind’ in the Carrier lan-

guage) were she operated a

small eco-tourism business

and, inspired by the land-

scape that surrounded her,

wrote nine books.

Her most recent book

Ginty’s Ghost: A Wilder-ness Dweller’s Dream (Har-

bour Publishing) chronicles

the many challenges of

building and settling into a

new home, located on Ginty

Creek.

“Ginty’s Ghost is a de-

parture from my other

books,” says Czajkowski.

“Instead of being about Nuk

Tessli, it is about my new

home at Ginty Creek.

“Only two people lived

there before me, Ginty Paul

and her father. Ginty was

a renowned eccentric. The

book is partly about my

efforts to establish myself

on her (long abandoned)

property, and partly about

Ginty herself told in letters

she wrote and stories from

people who knew her.”

Accounts of Ginty Paul

vary. Some locals remem-

ber her affectionately as “a

cheerful woman, always

laughing” while others

thought her open-door poli-

cy towards her animals a bit

odd – chickens would sleep

with her, and the bedroom

doubled as a maternity ward

for dogs, cats, goats and

sheep.

Still others feared her

volatile temper and outright

refused to step inside her

house – for fear of being

served “chicken poop tea.”

“She was a peculiar char-

acter,” writes Czajkowski.

“She allowed goats in her

house and kept a jar of pick-

led mice on the shelf. She

was just as likely to offer

tips on English etiquette as

she was to lambaste politi-

cians.”

In 2006, after nearly

three decades of wilderness

dwelling, far from neigh-

bours and roads, with the

nearest community acces-

sible only via float plane or

days of hiking, Czajkowski

writes how she decided to

purchase “a derelict home-

stead an hour’s drive south

of Anahim Lake.

Although the property

was mostly swamp and

packrat-infested buildings,

the asking price was within

my budget … and the loca-

tion affords beautiful views

and abundant wildlife.”

Each chapter intersperses

Czajkowski’s own experi-

ences building a new cabin

on the site, despite the fact

that she has a broken leg,

with those of Ginty Paul.

At times there are certain

similarities.

“Keeping my fingers

crossed, I cut a hole for

the window overlooking the

river. I have always had

the feeling, when I slice

through a cabin wall with

a chain saw, that the whole

building will fall apart …

light poured in. So did the

wind … the thermometer

on the post outside my door

registered minus 18 degrees

Celsius on the morning that

I cut a hole in the wall

to fit in another window.

There were the usual fid-

dles and hassles, but the job

went reasonably smoothly

and during the night I was

pleased to see light in the

room. Without street lights

to distort one’s vision, a

rural night is never truly

dark … ”

Right from the beginning

of the book it becomes clear

that Czajkowski and Ginty

have more than just a piece

of land in common.

They share a spirit of

independence and resource-

fulness, as well as an un-

wavering desire for a soli-

tary life immersed in the

spectacular landscapes of

the Chilcotin.

Czajkowski is touring

the province and will ap-

pear at the SAGA Public

Art Gallery Friday, Nov. 9

at 7 p.m., to present a slide

show and talk about her

new book.

Recently, many eyes were on the presidential debates in the United States as Democratic Presi-dent Barack Obama squared off against Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

Obama being far and away a much better speaker, with the ability to transfix viewers in a way Rom-ney cannot hope to equal, the consensus among pundits was that Obama had the most to lose from making a significant mistake, but Romney had the greater challenge in endearing himself to voters — especially the 47 per cent he may have disparaged in May at a small fundraiser.

Whether the debates did anything to move the polling numbers (Obama led entering the debate in Denver) remains to seen.

Meanwhile, in Canada, many eyes have been on Justin Trudeau as he this week announced he will be seeking to lead the Liberal party, which is tied so deeply to his father, Pierre Trudeau.

The name alone is enough to elevate Trudeau’s leadership bid far beyond that of previous aspirants.But, compared to the brief and utterly woeful ten-ures of Stéphane Dion and Michael Igantieff, the possibility of a young, handsome and articulate Trudeau reaching down to rescue the once-proud party only adds to the pizazz factor his bid creates.

Yes, politics is much more than style over sub-stance (though some elections have been won via the former, not the latter) and Trudeau’s celebrity will only carry him so far.

Speeches laden with clever lines will need to be augmented with policy beliefs and his vision of where Canada is going in the next decade.

That challenge is also Obama’s.As fine an orator as he is, voters battered by a

dismal economy during the president’s first term know full well pretty words in a splendid speech mean nothing the morning after, when jobs remain scarce and the future looks as bleak as a winter landscape on the Prairies.

MAIL BAGWhen I read last week’s issue

of Shuswap Market on the com-ing protest of the oil pipelines, I started to wonder just how many citizens in our country are aware of the looming FIPA deal with China, which is supposed

to be signed Nov. 1. There has been so little infor-

mation on this extremely impor-tant topic, I suggest people start to read up on this treaty and its signing over of our sovereignty.

If this deal goes through ac-

cording to experts on investment trade deals we could have no choice on these pipelines, it would be a done deal.

Dave Wrench

Trade deal has huge implications

Will Rogers never met anyone like Harper

Bill C-377 is a Pri-

vate Members Bill in-

troduced by my Con-

servative colleague

Russ Hiebert, MP for

South Surrey/White

Rock/Cloverdale, re-

quiring public financial

disclosure for labour

organizations.

Labour organiza-

tions play a valuable

role in Canadian soci-

ety, promoting work-

place health and safety,

and good compensation

for Canadian work-

ers. Our Conservative

Government supports

the valuable role labour

organizations perform

by providing several

hundred million dollars

in benefits through the

tax system, annually.

The premise behind

Bill C-377 is that the

public has a right to

know how the substan-

tial benefits it provides

to labour organiza-

tions are being used.

Public disclosure will

create greater support

for the valuable work

that labour organiza-

tions do as the public

learns how the benefits

they provide are being

used.

Public disclosure by

organizations receiv-

ing substantial public

benefits is not a new

concept.

In fact, Canadian

charities have been

publicly reporting their

spending for the last 35

years. And, as with

charities, any cost to

government or unions

of these new reporting

requirements will be

kept minimal through

the use of a standard-

ized system of elec-

tronic filing and post-

ing.

A good example is

the recent Elections

Canada investigation

into illegal union con-

tributions to the NDP

totalling more than

$340,000.

It is important for

union brotherhood

members to know

where their dues are

going and that all

transactions are legal.

Full disclosure will

ensure that the mem-

bership will have an

open, transparent and

accountable reporting

system for regulators

and membership to

scrutinize.

Public disclosure is

important to the Gov-

ernment of Canada as

we seek to make cer-

tain taxpayer dollars

and tax filings are ac-

curate.

Your government

has provided this scru-

tiny for charities, First

Nations and govern-

ment programs.

This bill will require

the unions open their

accounts to public and

membership review.

Meet Greg Kyllo – Twin Anchors MarineGreg Kyllo’s story is one that re-

minds us how hard work, vision and perseverance are the essential

ingredients of success.Greg has a lot of pres-sure on his shoulders – as the President of both Twin Anchors Marine and TA Structures, he is the largest private sector employer in Sicamous, B.C., a community that was recently rocked by destructive fl oods.

It’s no coincidence that Greg is in the busi-ness of building houseboats; Sicamous is known as the “houseboat capital of Canada.” As a small community where the population triples every summer, tourism industries like houseboat rent-als are essential to the livelihood of every family in Sicamous.

Founded in 1964 by Burt and Trudy Han-nah, Twin Anchors Marine was the fi rst rental houseboat company in western Canada. Greg’s stepfather purchased the company in 1977 and now Greg runs the manufacturing side with his wife Georgina, while his brother Todd and wife Jolayna look after the rentals.

It was Greg’s vision that “catapulted Twin Anchors from one-off builders to a whole pro-duction line” in 1993. Using the drafting skills he learned in high school, Greg designed the cruise craft that put the company on the international map. With a houseboat that had a stylish exte-rior and a hot tub, Twin Anchors was making millions of dollars, primarily from U.S. markets.

But Greg was never content to rest on his laurels. Twin Anchors was capturing an increas-ing share of a market that was shrinking. With 80 per cent of their business going on across the border, and shipping costs prohibiting them from selling houseboats outside of a 1500-kilometre radius, Greg feared that Twin Anchors was too exposed to the U.S. market. So he started think-

ing about other ways his business could thrive.One night while sharing a couple beers

aboard a Twin Anchors houseboat, his friend asked why the trailers he lived in on oil and gas drilling sites couldn’t be as luxurious as one of Twin Anchor’s houseboats. That got Greg thinking about the business that would become TA Structures.

TA Structures built its fi rst worker accom-modation model in 2005 and since then busi-ness has been growing, despite the tough times that lay ahead. After the 2008 fi nancial crisis, “the bottom fell out of both the marine and oil and gas sector,” Greg says. As luxury spending tightened and natural resource extraction slowed, Greg saw sales for both businesses slump. In January 2009, Greg employed 140 production workers. By July, he was down to 25.

In typical fashion, Greg persevered. Focusing on the opportunities available to TA Structures, Greg kept both companies afl oat, and today he once again employs 110 production workers. 2012 has been TA Structures’ best year yet and Greg projects they’ll do even better in 2013.

“A lot of our production today is the result of good fi scal policy, especially with the mining sector,” Greg says, “Because of all the red tape government has cut, our sales have really picked up.”

With the BC Jobs Plan’s commitment to 17 new and expanded mines by 2015, and its ambi-tious strategy to develop a liquefi ed natural gas industry that could generate a trillion dollars of economic activity in B.C. over the next 30 years, TA Structures should be able to grow and pro-vide even more jobs in Sicamous soon.

However, because of the highly-publicized fl oods that rocked Sicamous last June, Greg’s houseboat sales are at an all time low, and the

community has suffered because of the loss of tourism revenue. “The news media really sensa-tionalized it,” Greg says, “making it look so bad was really what did the most damage.” Never one to be dissuaded, Greg’s companies sand-bagged their marina facilities and with a lot long hours and hard work by their dedicated employ-ees, they were able to maintain operations.

Greg indicated that the marine sector is showing signs of recovery in the U.S., with strong interest expressed for fl eet expansion in 2013 by two of the 18 companies that they currently build for. Reduced houseboat replace-ment levels in commercial rental fl eets the past few years will result in big orders for Twin An-chors in the years ahead. Until then, Greg and his community can rely on the good jobs that TA Structures provides.

“We have good quality products and we treat people properly so we have a good reputation,” Greg says, “with any luck we will be hiring even more people again soon.”

Greg has recently become involved in Si-camous politics, acting as the Deputy Mayor, Chair of the Finance Committee and sitting on the Economic Development Committee. He is currently working with local educational insti-tutes to develop a skills training program that would help people in his community get a job that would allow them to stay close to home.

“With the type of work we do, young people would really get a chance to learn lots of different skills,” Greg says proudly, “Welding, construc-tion, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, you name it … we do a little bit of everything.”

How Greg’s Story Connects with the BC Jobs Plan:

Enabling job creation is paramount to eco-nomic prosperity. Twin Anchors Marine and

TA Structures is the largest private-sector em-ployer in Sicamous thanks to Greg’s persever-ance through market fl uctuations and a recent natural disaster.

When BC businesses diversify to earn new market share, they are better positioned to sur-vive and take advantage of market changes.

There’s a ripple effect across all BC’s sectors when government cuts red tape. Greg attributes a boom in TA Structures trailer sales to recent changes in mining regulations.

Development of the liquefi ed natural gas in-dustry in BC will help create more jobs in the Sicamous area.

Show your lake stewardshipAnyone with a

green thumb, a love for

nature or just a natural

curiosity may wish to

take part in a Shuswap

Trail Alliance steward-

ship event set for Oct.

27.

The alliance has de-

signed a trail event to

help participants learn

more about native wet-

land species and the

invasive species trying

to call the Shuswap

home.

The day begins with

a pancake breakfast at

9 a.m. and is followed

by an informal invasive

species talk at 10.

Attendees will dis-

cover the difference

between a yellow flag

iris and a cattail, and

receive some training

on effective removal

and disposal of inva-

sive plants, from a wet-

land and forest envi-

ronment.

Following the talk

participants are invited

to slosh around, dig,

pull, drag and haul as

much yellow flag iris

as they can out of Little

White Lake.

This is just the start

of dealing with the iris,

that is spreading to oth-

er parts of the White

Lake ecosystem.

British Columbia

Parks has expressed

concern with the iris

spreading into the park

on Big White Lake and

is co-hosting the White

Lake Iris Pull.

There will be prizes

for guests, warming

stations, a BC Parks

biologist on location to

assist and lots of food.

Shovels and tools

will be provided by

the trail alliance and

gloves will be on hand

for everyone, compli-

ments of BC Parks.

Anyone planning

to attend the event

is asked to wear old

clothes as they are

bound to get dirty. It

is also recommended

that hip waders, warm

socks and rubber boots

are brought along.

If you are a snor-

kler or scuba diver and

would like to do some

underwater work, there

is a patch of water lil-

ies that need to be dug

out.

Take your canoe or

kayak along if you’d

like to take some time

out to paddle. There

will also be a couple of

boats available on site.

Join the community

in this effort to clean

up the Shuswap wet-

land.

White Lake is one

of the treasures of the

Shuswap, and the alli-

ance appreciates help

in keeping it clean and

functioning properly.

The workshop and

iris pull will be taking

place out of Massey’s

White Lake yard at

3163 White Lake Rd.

Parking is available

on the road above the

house, as well as in the

John Evdokimoff Bike

Park, which is about a

30-step walk down to

the area.

The event runs from

9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with

breakfast and lunch

provided.

Anyone planning

to attend tomorrow’s

event is asked to RSVP

beforehand to be sure

there is enough food

available.

Taking the bikes to Crowfoot

It has been 38 years

since my last trip up

to the top of Crowfoot

Mountain, when I went

up on horseback dur-

ing a trail ride with

friends.

After numerous re-

ports about the dam-

age from motorized

recreational vehicles

that is occurring to the

sub-alpine meadows

and wetlands, I was ea-

ger to see it firsthand.

Thanks to the extended

warm, dry weather we

drove the rough road to

the summit on October

10th and enjoyed a de-

lightful mountain bike

ride to the lookout and

back.

It did not take long

before we saw evi-

dence of mud-bogging,

as nearly every bog and

wetland is covered in

tracks and mud that

will likely be there for

many decades, if not

forever. Due to the lack

of provincial regula-

tions that prohibit the

use of motorized vehi-

cles in high elevations

except in the Okanagan

and parts of the Shus-

wap where there is vir-

tually no enforcement,

the disgraceful off-road

vehicle “wreckreation”

continues unabated in

accessible alpine areas

throughout the Shus-

wap and the province.

And B.C. remains the

only jurisdiction in

North America without

licensing and registra-

tion for off-road ve-

hicles.

It took us only about

an hour-and-a-half to

cycle on the rocky road

to the old fire lookout

atop Mount Mobley.

The Dominion Forest

Service built this look-

out in 1928 and like the

other lookouts, there

was a telephone line

attached to trees and

log-tripods in the al-

pine that ran down the

mountain to provide

for communication.

District Forest Ranger,

Charlie Mobley super-

vised the construction

of the lookout, the trail

and the phone line and

then named the peak

after himself.

Despite all the ef-

forts, the lookout was

not in service long, as

by 1930, the provincial

government had taken

over the forest service

and many of the Do-

minion fire lookouts

were shut down, in-

cluding Mt. Mobley.

Crowfoot Moun-

tain is far from pris-

tine. The rich meadows

have long been used for

grazing, first by sheep

and more recently by

cattle and most of the

balsam trees burned in

the 1967 Mag fire. The

first sheep were herded

to the Crowfoot pas-

ture in 1926 on what

was likely a First Na-

tion hunting trail that

was then cleared by

gold miners during the

1860s as an early route

to Seymour Arm and

the Big Bend. At times,

more than 4,000 sheep

grazed in this sub-

alpine meadow dur-

ing the summers, with

many of these herds

coming from the Barn-

hartvale ranching fam-

ily, the Cordoniers.

Amazingly, despite

many decades of graz-

ing, the native flora

species of sedges and

forbs are still present

according to provincial

range agrologist, Her-

ald Hetherington. How-

ever, the distribution of

the species has been

impacted and in areas

frequented by cattle,

such as those adjacent

to various springs, soil

“hummocking” occurs

due to the pounding of

hooves. More natural

conditions may slowly

be returning, as due to

market conditions the

range atop Crowfoot

has been vacant for

four years.

As we approached

the old lookout station

on our bikes, we were

amused by the high-

way sign that indicated

the need for a sharp

turn to the left. And no

wonder, as the look-

out is perched on the

edge of a high cliff,

that at least one vehicle

missed as we could

see the wreckage be-

low. Apparently, there

was also a sledder who

did not make the turn,

however he managed

to survive the fall and

was rescued the fol-

lowing day.

Adjacent to the look-

out, which is packed

full of firewood to

serve as an emergency

shelter in the winter for

the snowmobilers, is a

solar-powered commu-

nication tower. This is

one of the forest ser-

vice’s many repeater

stations that help pro-

vide the radio frequen-

cies used on the log-

ging roads.

Crowfoot Mountain

is listed in the Shuswap

Trail Guide; neverthe-

less it would be a gru-

elling, uninspiring slog

up the 14-kilometre-

long old sheep trail now

frequented by ATVs

and motorbikes to the

meadows. It seems the

best way to experience

the mountain is with

mountain bikes, but

only high-clearance

4x4s can make it up

the road.

The mountain expe-

riences the most use

during the winter sea-

son, when there is an

average of 10 snowmo-

biles per day and up to

50 on long weekends.

The Crowfoot

Snowmobile Club

manages an impressive

hut that serves as an

emergency shelter and

a clubhouse during the

winter season and they

put a new metal roof on

the old fire lookout 10

years ago.

Nurse practitioners meet needs

Nurse practitioners

in B.C. will be adding

to their list of duties,

thanks to new regula-

tions.

Working in collabo-

ration with doctors and

other health-care pro-

viders, nurse practitio-

ners (NPs) will have

the ability to admit and

discharge patients from

health-care facilities.

The regulations are

expected to help en-

hance health services

and meet patient need

by easing congestion

and reducing work-

loads, especially for

rural regions.

The majority of NPs

in B.C. have the educa-

tion and competencies

required to admit and

discharge, but did not

have the ability legis-

lated.

Linda Sawchenko,

an Interior Health re-

gional practice leader,

said NPs have integrat-

ed into health care be-

ginning in 2005, with

32 currently practising

in the province.

“They have been

providing much-need-

ed assistance,” says

Sawchenko, noting

there is a Nurse prac-

titioner in Enderby and

one in Chase.

“When the funding

was first announced,

we looked at commu-

nities that most need-

ed additional primary

health care services.”

Sicamous is also

hoping to receive fund-

ing for a nurse practi-

tioner in the near fu-

ture.

Sawchenko says

the health authority

is checking priorities

again and funding be-

comes available to hire

more nurse practitio-

ners over the new three

years.

She says other “good

news work” is being

done with regulations

to allow nurse practi-

tioners to work to their

full scope of practice.

“Our focus has been

on placing them in pri-

mary care community

settings and we also

have some done home

visits,” says Sawchen-

ko, noting decisions

about where the NPs

will be located will be

made in the next cou-

ple of months.

“The nurse practi-

tioner in Chase has be-

come one of the most

constant health-care

providers in that com-

munity, so we know

they do provide a

much-needed service.”

NPs meet many

health-care needs of the

community, increas-

ing access to quality

primary and commu-

nity health care. NPs

provide services from

a holistic nursing per-

spective, integrating el-

ements such as diagnos-

ing, prescribing, order-

ing diagnostic tests for

treating most common

medical conditions for

patients throughout the

lifespan.

Nurse practitioners

also work collabora-

tively in a broad variety

of settings including

acute care, residential

care, mental health and

community practice

with physicians.

Development of a

trail network has the

green light from En-

derby officials.

Council has agreed

to provide $10,000 a

year, over three years,

to the Shuswap Trail

Alliance.

“Trails are a good

idea,” said Coun. Beryl

Ludwig, adding that

they provide residents

with recreational op-

portunities while also

attracting tourists.

“The day we climbed

one of the trails, we

met 16 people.”

Among the alli-

ance’s projects have

been upgrades to the

Enderby Cliffs trail and

wetland protection on

the Larch Hills.

“They have been

putting trails in with

little funding support,”

said Mayor Howie Cyr.

Funding will come

from the city and the

regional district’s Area

CSRD miffed about bus cutbacks

Columbia Shuswap

Regional District di-

rectors have asked ad-

ministration to write a

letter to the B.C. Pas-

senger Transportation

Board expressing ex-

treme disappointment

over cuts to service.

Electoral area E

Rural Sicamous direc-

tor Rhona Martin said

this is not the first time

Greyhound has reduced

service.

Martin told directors

at last week’s board

meeting in Salmon

Arm that she recalls a

time when Area E resi-

dents could flag a bus

on the highway and it

would stop for passen-

gers, allowing them to

pay on the bus or pur-

chase their tickets at

the next station.

As well, she said,

buses would stop along

the highway to let pas-

sengers off near their

homes.

Now, she noted,

passengers have to go

to a depot to buy their

tickets, which is diffi-

cult for elderly people

or those without cars.

And, while she re-

alizes the buses are

sometimes running al-

most empty, she be-

lieves scheduling the

trips better would draw

more people to the ser-

vice.

“This is just an-

other way of eroding

life in the rural area,”

she says. “If you want

to keep their seniors

there, and they can’t

drive any more…”

Area D Falkland-

Silver Creek-Ranchero

director René Talbot

said Greyhound buses

go through Falkland

at 3:30 in the morning

and return at 6 p.m.

“But you can’t buy

a ticket in Falkland

and though they stop,

they won’t even pick

up freight,” he com-

plained. Salmon Arm

director Debbie Can-

non said she finds it

hard to tell a business

they should have more

stops or more services

if they can’t make it

financially. Area F

North Shuswap direc-

tor Larry Morgan con-

curred.

“They’re operating

a private business. Are

they going to look for

subsidies from some

level of government?”

he asked. “CN back in

the ’70s couldn’t make

it without subsidies and

they gradually phased

out services.”

Martin suggested

Greyhound should

have sought communi-

ty input before reduc-

ing service.

As well, she sug-

gested, the company

has a monopoly and

if they were intent on

reducing service, they

should lose the monop-

oly. Directors agreed

that a letter protest-

ing the cuts should be

sent to B.C. Passenger

Transportation Board,

with Area C South

Shuswap director Paul

Demenok was opposed

but offered no explana-

tion.

Greyhound: Directors to send letter outlining concerns for rural areas.

Flu vaccination clinics startingFlu clinics across

the Interior Health re-

gion have begun. In-

terior Health officials

say getting a flu shot

is one of the best ways

to protect yourself and

others from the flu and

its complications. The

flu shot is a safe, ef-

fective way to reduce

the chances of getting

and spreading influ-

enza. Those who are

not eligible for the free

clinics can still get a flu

shot. Check with your

pharmacist or doctor to

find out about getting

vaccinated.

Flu shots are avail-

able at free flu clinics

for people in high-risk

groups, including peo-

ple 65 years and older

and their caregivers or

household contacts,

and all children age 6

to 59 months of age.

There are many other

categories as well. To

find a flu clinic near

you, visit www.interi-

orhealth.ca or call your

local public health of-

fice at 250-833-4100.

The B.C. Govern-

ment is opening nine

more locations for

DriveABLE, including

one in Salmon Arm, to

help reduce travel for

those drivers, includ-

ing seniors, who are

referred to functional

cognitive assessment.

The number of loca-

tions has grown to 28

from 15 in 2011, with

new locations just add-

ed in Campbell River,

Duncan, Penticton,

Port Alberni, Powell

River, Salmon Arm,

Terrace, Vernon and

Williams Lake.

The 28 communi-

ties that now have

DriveABLE loca-

tions are: Abbotsford,

Burnaby, Campbell

River, Chilliwack, Co-

quitlam, Courtenay,

Cranbrook, Dawson

Creek, Duncan, Kam-

loops, Kelowna, Lang-

ford, Nanaimo, Nelson,

North Vancouver, Pen-

ticton, Port Alberni,

Powell River, Prince

George, Richmond,

Salmon Arm, Sechelt,

Surrey, Terrace, Van-

couver, Vernon, Victo-

ria and Williams Lake.

The majority of re-

ferrals to DriveABLE

by the Offi ce of the

Superintendent of Mo-

tor Vehicles (OSMV)

stem from reports from

medical practitioners

who are concerned

about an individual’s

abilities related to safe

driving.

In 2011, OSMV re-

viewed 140,000 driver

medical examination

reports, requiring about

2,700 or two per cent of

those drivers to under-

take the assessment.

Government covers

the cost of both the in-

offi ce and on-road as-

sessments for all driv-

ers it refers.

“While a very small

number of seniors ac-

tually require the drive-

able assessment, we

will continue to look

for ways to improve

service, expand loca-

tions and provide in-

formation to families

when a cognitive as-

sessment is required,”

said Shirley Bond,

Minister of Justice and

Attorney General.

CHASE

The Chase museum will soon be under new own-ership, but don’t worry, it will still be business as usual.

Village of Chase Council recently agreed to pur-chase the museum, with an estimated value of $450,000, for a total of $50,000. The $50,000 would pay off all of the remaining debt incurred during the restoration of the museum following the 2011 fire, leaving only day-to-day costs.

“This is a fraction of the costs that were incurred to do the restoration,” says Joni Heinrich, Chase’s chief administrative officer, in an email.

While some of the funds came from the building insurance, a large portion was collected through continuous fundraising by museum volunteers.

The Chase and District Museum and Archives Society plans to lease the property back from the village and operate the museum as it normally would. The society would be held responsible for paying all bills such as electricity, gas, telephone and other costs associated with operating the mu-seum. However, it will now be the village’s respon-sibility to fix a leaky roof or mow the lawn.

The village’s decision to accept the society’s offer may have ultimately saved the museum that the community has worked so hard to rebuild.

In a letter to the village on Oct. 4, Victor Pages, society president, stated that the society did not be-lieve that the museum would be able to keep its doors open long-term, unless the village stepped in to help them out.

# The Village of Chase is purchasing the Chase museum, which will con-tinue to be operated by the Chase and District Museum Society. As well as helping to save the museum, the village may have access to grant funding that the society will not.

Chase Volunteer

Firefighters were busy

last week, training

some of the village’s

future crew members.

In an attempt to edu-

cate some of the local

children on fire safety

and the importance of

knowing “two ways

out,” the department

hosted two events fo-

cusing on the students

at Haldane Elemen-

tary.

Chase Fire Chief,

Brent Chamberlain

explains that in years

past the hall would host

only their annual Fire

Chief For a Day event.

This gave the local

firefighters a chance to

bring two children from

each class from kinder-

garten to Grade 3.

The event had prov-

en to be such a success

that the local firefight-

ers have since added

a second event which

focuses on students in

grades four to seven.

In both cases the stu-

dents were picked up at

the school in the fire

and rescue trucks and

then brought to the hall

where they were able to

try on gear, meet some

of the local volunteer

firefighters and get a

tour of the hall.

Some of the Hal-

dane students were

able to watch a video

on fire safety, as well

as learn how to run a

hose and how a fire-

fighter properly enters

into a confined space

during a fire.

Wide-eyed students

watched closely as

they were shown just

how high the ladder

truck could go, as well

as what the many tools

inside the fire trucks

were used for.

The students fin-

ished off their day by

eating a lunch with

their local firefighters

before being brought

back to their classes,

once again by fire

truck.

Students ride in style on fire trucks

Lots of fun and learning # Young Chase residents got a glimpse of the inner workings of the fire department, when the Chase Fire Department held its annual Fire Chief for a Day event for Kindergarten to Grade 3 students, as well as an open house.

The local Junior Hockey team, The Heat, met the Eagles in Sicamous on Fri-day, Oct. 19.

The bad part of the weekend came early as Sicamous scored in the first period at 14:07 on the power play. It was the first goal in a hat trick evening for Cameron Berry. Less than a minute later Brendan Devries struck for his first in a four-goal evening.

At game’s end, the Eagles came out with eight goals and secured a shutout for goalie Jack Surgenor.

The game ended on an ugly note with Jacob Mattes being flattened in his crease

with 20 seconds left in the game. Suspen-sions arose with the Heat getting the worst of it.

On Saturday, Oct. 20, Heat fans saw their team take to home ice against the second-year Summerland Steam.

The good side of the team showed up on this evening with the Heat taking a 2 to 1 victory.

The Steam opened the scoring in the second on a power-play after a scoreless first period.

The Heat came out in the third hot-to-trot and put that energy to good use, scor-ing twice. Shelby Kostyshen scored early

with Nicholas Fidanza getting the lone as-sist. Later in the third, Captain Kurtis Johnson put the biscuit in the basket as-sisted by Kostyshen and Fidanza.

Kostyshen was awarded the first star and Fidanza third.

After a 10-game losing streak, the 265 fans in attendance had something to cheer about and hope for the future.

The Heat faced the Kelowna Chiefs on Tuesday, Oct. 23, and were defeated 5-1.

The boys will be back in town for a Fri-day night tilt with rivals the Kamloops Storm on Friday, Oct. 26 and then they travel to Sicamous on Saturday.

Heat cracks team’s losing streak

Chase Greyhound passengers may be see-ing some changes soon as the company has pro-posed route cuts be-tween the Alberta bor-der, Highway #1 and Vancouver.

Tera Lee Larson, Chase Greyhound man-ager, says if it happens, it will most likely affect

their business as well as Chase residents.

“Seniors who don’t drive or can’t drive, use the bus to get into Kam-loops,” explains Larson, who could think of a few regulars who use the Greyhound as a means to see their doc-tors.

“No decision as been

made yet,” says Larson, “but I suspect if a route does get cut, it will prob-ably be the morning one into Kamloops.”

The Chase branch has already seen route cuts in the past, the most re-cent loss being the morning route to Salm-on Arm.

Any concerns about

these possible changes can be emailed to [email protected]. faxed to 250-953-3788 or mailed to B.C. Passen-ger Transportation Board, Box 9850, Sta-tion Provincial Govern-ment, Victoria, B.C., V8W 9T5.

Children are often the focus of food marketing campaigns. Companies view children as having significant purchasing power because of their influence on parents and caregivers. Many of these campaigns influ-ence children’s food preferences, food choic-es and the products they request, and the results are not always healthy.

Children are often tar-geted in the grocery store through packag-ing, labelling, pricing and product placement. Food products use bright colours, characters, shapes, and flavours to grab the attention of children. Manufacturers pay extra to have their product located at eye level, at the end of aisles and at the cashier in the hopes that their attrac-tively packaged prod-ucts will be noticed by children. Many products marketed to children are high in sugar, fat, and salt. With the increasing rates of childhood obe-sity in Canada the food preferences and choices of children is a growing concern.

Parents can learn to successfully navigate the grocery store and avoid the lure and temp-tation of less healthy op-tions for children. Here’s

a couple tips to help en-courage healthy food choices in the grocery store.

Look beyond the flashy claims on the product label. Some food packages contain misleading claims about the product. For in-stance, a beverage pack-age may use big colour-ful fonts to draw atten-tion to its high vitamin and mineral content; however, it may not be as obvious that the bev-erage also contains lots of sugar because the food manufacturer does not draw attention to this information. Check the nutrition facts table, especially the percent daily value and the in-gredient list for a more accurate description of what a product actually contains.

Bring two grocery lists to the store – one for yourself and one for your child. Make sure the lists include healthy choices. Children can help grocery shop by looking for items on their list. A list will help them stay focused and they will be less dis-tracted by other prod-ucts in the grocery store. If children are influ-enced by labels and placement of less healthy food, divert their

attention back to the items still needed on their grocery list.

Make sure your child has eaten something be-fore going to the gro-cery store with you. If necessary, provide a healthy snack to occupy them while shopping. A hungry shopper, wheth-er a child or adult, is more likely to be tempt-ed by unhealthy foods.

So next time you and the kids head to the gro-cery store, do a little planning. Make some lists and don’t forget to think critically about all those flashy claims right before your eyes.

- Rose Soneff, com-

munity nutritionist with Interior Health in col-laboration with the UBC Dietetics Program in-terns Cherice Lo and Laurel Zvaigzne.

JONES, ALLEN GLENSeptember 5, 1942

– October 11, 2012. Allen was born in Stettler, Alberta, but grew up in Calgary. He passed away peacefully with family and friends by his side. He was grateful for the time he spent at home during his illness, from April to Oct 1st, being tended to by his long-time companion and friend, Ruth, with the help of their two dear friends, Liz Rasmuson and SheilaHalvorson.

Allen is survived by his companion and bestfriend, Ruth Keskinen, his daughters, Dana Jones,and Karen (Gerry) Babin, his sisters, ClariceCardinall of Edmonton, AB, Elaine (Alfons) Schuh,Calgary, AB and Lori (Greg) Saunders of Vernon,BC. Also by his brothers, Bill Jones Anglemont,BC, and Don (Naida) Jones, of Calgary, also, thechildren and their families of Ruth Keskinen: Stig,Jr. (Paula) Keskinen, Kit (Warren) Hobbs, Lila (Val)Cugini, Rita (Darren) Eley, and their children andgrandchildren, all of whom were considered byAllen to be his extended “family”... along with hisadopted dog, Tiki.

He was predeceased by his mother, Helen, hisfather, Elmer, sister Linda Jones and Mel (Val)Jones, and Bonnie (wife of Bill Jones).

Allen owned his own business, New Home Plans.His house plans appeared monthly in Friday AM.He had a high quality website - newhomeplans.net, and most of his house plans were ordered byU.S. clients. His pride and joy, however, was indesigning the Salmon Arm Legion.

He was a born artist and painted murals bothin the former Salmon Arm Hotel pub and dining room. He also loved doing cartoons and creatingcrossword puzzles. He was multi-talented and hada brilliant mind.

Allen was an active Legion member andvolunteer. He enjoyed socializing with fellowLegion members.

His main interests were camping, travelling,science, designing homes, art, and watchingsports of all kinds. His favorite teams were theCalgary Flames and Calgary Stampeders. Next onhis list were the BC Lions and Vancouver Canucks(unless they were playing Calgary).

Special thanks to Dr. C.A. Welder who hadsuch a caring attitude; also to the nursing staff atShuswap Lake Hospital for always going the extramile.

Donations may be sent to the Royal CanadianLegion Branch #62.

A brief ceremony and light lunch, followed by acelebration of Allen’s life will be held on SaturdayOct 27 at 10 am at the Royal Canadian Legion,Salmon Arm.

Pumpkin peepers# Leonie and Louisa Steigenberger pop their heads up from the pumpkins on display at De Mille’s Farm Market.

Salmon Arm’s Askew’s Up-

town supermarket won a major

award at the Re/MAX Thomp-

son Okanagan Commercial

Building Awards last week in

Kelowna.

There were 33 fi nalists for the

awards from Kamloops, Chase,

Salmon Arm, Revelstoke, Ver-

non, Kelowna, Peachland, Sum-

merland, Penticton and Oliver,

with more than 70 nominations.

To be eligible, buildings had to

be completed between Jan. 1,

2011 and June 30, 2012.

Askew’s took the retail

award.

“Commercial buildings are

very important in the life of each

community, and events like this

bring the players and ideas be-

hind these projects out into the

spotlight,” said event organizer

Mark MacDonald.

The design of Askew’s Up-

town store solved the problem

of a severely sloping site by

placing the store’s service space

underground, extending the

buildable area to the property

line, creating access from a low-

er level and avoiding costly and

unattractive retaining walls.

Askew’s Uptown wins building award

JAMES MURRAY/MARKET NEWS

Salmon Arm busi-

ness organizations have

united behind a cam-

paign to promote a vari-

ety of community assets

and offerings that are

distinctly products of

the Shuswap.

The Product of the

Shuswap ad campaign

is itself a product of the

Salmon Arm Economic

Development Society

(SAEDS), the Salmon

Arm Chamber of Com-

merce and Downtown

Salmon Arm.

“In our vision, a

product of the Shuswap

could be a person or a

project, it could be a

service or a business, it

could be a community

asset or even a physi-

cal item that’s grown

or manufactured here

in the Shuswap,” said

Salmon Arm economic

development manager

Lana Fitt. “This cam-

paign could be used to

market our agricultural

products… innova-

tion that’s occurring in

our industrial park, our

construction industry,

tourism experiences or

any other areas of our

economy.”

The first phase of the

campaign is designed to

showcase local retailers

working to meet sup-

ply gaps by expanding

product lines.

“What we’re seeking

to do in this campaign is

highlight Salmon Arm

businesses who are do-

ing great things, and

there are a number of

them,” said Fitt. “The

businesses and people

are a product of the Shus-

wap and we’re proud to

have them as part of our

economy and want to

recognize them as such,

so this whole campaign

is wrapped around this

product of the Shuswap

branding.”

Coun. Alan Harrison

said he liked that the

three organizations are

behind the campaign,

and that local business-

es are working to “fill

that gap.” He suggested

retailers featured in the

campaign may want to

mention pricing.

“I know that many

families are certainly

looking for that,” com-

mented Harrison.

In response, Fitt ex-

plained how, it’s not just

about revenue, but also

supporting residents in

a tough situation.
