Politicians unite for TCH upgradesWhen it comes to the Trans-Can-

ada Highway, the City of Salmon Arm and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District are on the same page.

Appearing as Mayor Nancy Coo-per’s alternate at the regional dis-trict board meeting last Thursday, Coun. Kevin Flynn said the mayor

had requested a regional letter be sent to Ottawa asking that funding for TCH improvements be included in the 2016 federal budget.

Flynn said members of council had met to discuss priorities with MP Mel Arnold.

“He said it would be helpful if a regional focus would be sent, particularly if it’s about continued improvements to the TCH – to

have a collaborative approach and focus on a few issues,” said Flynn, who noted infrastructure funding requests within the municipality were for TCH and sewer issues. “We kept it very simple and, as a region, I think we need to focus on the TCH.”

CSRD chair and Electoral Area E director Rhona Martin said the importance of the Trans-Canada

Highway to the entire region has been iterated at the regional district board many times.

And although he has had many issues with the state of the roads in his jurisdiction, Area D Falkland/Salmon Valley/Ranchero direc-tor Rene Talbot agreed the Trans-

Canada should be the number-one priority in this request.

Revelstoke Mayor Mark McKee thanked Salmon Arm for bring-ing the issue to the board.

“Everybody has a pet peeve or project in their area… I like to talk about where there are critical road issues of safety and the fea-sibility to improve it,” he said. “I could pick three areas in my back yard, but safety is the number one and I want to stay in that vein so we are not pitting one against the other.”

McKee also believes it is critical that the federal government sit down with the prov-ince and come up with a long-term plan for the Trans-Canada.

While agreeing the national link is important, Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan

said his priority is to have a road that connects his area with Sun Peaks.

“It would have a tremendous impact on my area,” he said. “It is critical to economic development and tour-ism.”

Salmon Arm director Chad Elision took di-rectors on a trip down memory lane.

“Everybody remem-bers when Mr. Stone came forward with Moving Forward 20-20,” he said of provin-cial plans to improve the Trans-Canada Highway from Cache Creek to the Alberta border. “The major roadblock was the lack

of federal funding. I think knowing the province is ready to go on these projects and has committed $600 million over the next 10 years will help.”

Sicamous Mayor Terry Rysz supported the regional focus but with a caveat.

“My concern is the timeline in which they’re completing the

work,” he said. “I don’t think I am prepared to wait until my grand-children are my age.”

The longest-running director on the board, Martin reminded di-rectors there have been times when the federal government was on-board to improve the

Trans-Canada High-way but the province was not.

“We all know where the TCH is; it’s our mainstream,” she said, noting how accidents, rockfalls and weather mean people are stuck at home or not able to get home. “We want people to come home safely.

Flynn said that while safety is of paramount concern, the economic impact of the highway both regionally and nationally cannot be ignored.

“There is a time sen-sitivity to this,” said Flynn, noting that with the deadline for sub-missions looming, di-rectors should approve a letter to be written by CSRD staff rather than wait to approve a draft at next month’s board meeting. “The key is to have somebody draft a letter that embod-ies what we have said around the board.”

Directors were unan-imous in their consent.

Hunt on for refugee housing

Three members of the Salmon Arm Refu-gee Coalition have Syr-ian families arriving soon but have nowhere to house them.

They need help fast and anyone who can provide a lead on lodg-ing is asked to go to the “post accommo-dations” link at http://www.shuswaprefuge.com.

In the meantime, Salmon Arm’s first Syrian refugee is well on his way to learning English, thanks, in part, to the help he is receiv-ing from Immigrant Services Shuswap.

Behind the glass walls of an office, ani-mated conversation is at full throttle.

Mustafa Zakreet is practising his skills while learning about the vast country he can now call home.

With the help of vol-unteer tutor Mary Regi-er and laminated pages with facts and photos, Zakreet is becoming acquainted with Cana-da’s provinces and ter-ritories.

Enthusiasm grows when Regier reveals a photo of Saskatchewan.

“Flat,” he says clearly of the Prairie province and the photo of golden wheat fields.

Syria used to grow wheat for most of the Arab world, he explains. And even though the country has not been growing the grain for the past five years because of the civil war, Zakreet says stock-piled wheat is still available in Syrian stores.

It seems appropriate that Sicamous United Church Minister Juani-ta Austen arrives unan-

nounced with a gift of za’atar she purchased through an organization that supports peace in Palestine and Israel.

Zakreet’s face lights up with anticipation as he clasps the small bot-tle that contains za’atar, a Middle Eastern spice mixture used in many dishes and can be eaten on bread drizzled with olive oil.

“It means a lot; you can’t know how im-portant it is, I dream to have food from Pales-tine,” he tells Austen.

Grateful to all his tu-tors, Zakereet says he is

picking up the language quickly, attending three sessions at Immigrant Services, two daytime sessions at Okanagan College and an evening one as well.

“At first it was diffi-cult to speak, now it’s better; there are no Ara-bic people so I have to speak English,” he says. “And I dreamt in Eng-lish the other night.”

Members of the com-munity are invited to an educational evening of films and discussion at 7 p.m. Monday, March 7 at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Ayotte says the films, one with a young girl whose family fled Syr-ia, will make people aware of why Syrians are looking for a safe and welcoming place to start their lives over.

Salmon Arm child recovering from rare syndromeBy Tracy HughesMARKET NEWS STAff

While the prognosis is much brighter, six-year-old Albert Curtis will need time and therapy to re-cover from a bout of Guillaine-Barre Syndrome, a rare disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks its nerves.

The kindergarten student at Salmon Arm West Elementary was diagnosed after he began becom-ing increasingly clumsy and falling down. He was taken to the ER in Salmon Arm and, as his condi-tion worsened, was referred to BC Children’s Hos-pital for diagnosis. The syndrome disrupts the nerve pathways resulting in problems with motor control and, in some cases, paralysis.

After spending nearly two weeks at BC Chil-dren’s Hospital, Albert was able to come home to Salmon Arm, but needs continued therapy.

“It’s so much better. After the treatments at Chil-dren’s, I was able to see my little boy come back,” says his mother Cheryl, a single parent to Albert and his twin sister Alexandra. “The day he finally walked a step again, I cried. I didn’t know if we were going to see that day because he got so bad, so fast.”

Cheryl says the outcome for children with Guil-laine-Barre Syndrome is good.

“But he’s going to need time to get his strength back and we have to come back to Vancouver for check ups.”

A friend started a GoFundMe account for the family, as Cheryl, who has a part-time job, will be unable to work until Albert is more fully recovered. “I’ve had no income since we’ve left and there is a lot of costs. It’s been pretty daunting,” she said.

Anyone who wants to help the family can con-tribute to the GoFund Me account at https://www.gofundme.com/43pa6ffw.

The advertisement for the Lemonade Stand appearing in the February 19th, 2016 Shuswap Market News contained the erroneous statement…

“Salmon Arm’s Only Vape and Smoke Shop”

This statement has proven to be incorrect, as there are two other local establishments, “The Matchbox Smoke & News-stand” and “To The Left” which provide similar products and services.

The Salmon Arm Observer/Shuswap Market News apolo-gizes for any inconvenience this oversight may have caused to the Matchbox Smoke & Newsstand & To The Left, and their customers.

Correction Notice

Over the years I have owned a fair number of boats. Nothing really fancy – mostly just plain little utili-tarian fishing boats.

I enjoy being out on the water, just sitting there, en-joying the warmth of the sun on my face, breathing in the fresh air. Having sold my last boat two years ago, I have been looking for just the right watercraft to suit my needs.

The other day I stopped to talk to an old friend of mine who was standing at the end of his driveway chat-ting with a neighbour. As we talked about what we’d been up to, the upcoming fishing season, the weather and pol-itics, my eyes wondered to a 12-foot Sportspal canoe atop a vehicle a couple of drive-ways further up the street. I mentioned I wouldn’t mind owning such a unique little watercraft. The fellow who had been chatting with my friend said it was his and asked how much I would be willing to pay. A few min-utes later I was the proud owner of a Sportspal.

Sportspals cannot be described as fancy. They are constructed from light-gauge, marine-grade alu-

minum and painted to look like an old-style birchbark canoe. Now if the birchbark paint job isn’t hokey enough to turn most people off, there are also two six-foot by five-inch strips of heavy black floatation foam (sponsons) bolted onto the sides. The interior of the canoe is also lined with a layer of floata-tion foam. Which brings us to the Sportspal’s one truly redeeming quality – it is vir-tually unsinkable.

The fact that Sportspal canoes have an almost cult following is an altogether different subject.

Since it’s humble begin-nings in 1947 in Cedric Summers’ small North Bay, Ont. garage, the Sportspal Canoe has grown to become a Canadian icon “born of

Canadian waters” that are used by thousands of enthu-siasts around the world.

Originally built in 12- and 14-foot pointed models, there are now eight models, pointed and square stern, with five colour options and a whole whack of ac-cessories such as specially designed oars, webbed seats, a fitted foam seat with backrest, a carrying yoke, collapsible anchor, replace-ment sponsors, a specially designed foam roof rack and a portable repair kit. While the Sportspal comes with oarlocks for rowing, it can also be rigged with an op-tional motor-mount bracket that attaches to the transom for a small gas or electric trolling motor.

One really neat feature of the Sportspal is that it can be rigged with an optional sail kit. I can just see myself cruising along on a breezy summer’s day with the sail billowing in the wind. Weighing in at 34 pounds, with a 38-inch beam and 13 inches of depth, my 12-foot Sportspal should be a great little watercraft for fishing or cruising the shoreline of any small Interior lake. I also like the idea that at 34 pounds, I

can easily lift the canoe by myself, which means getting it on and off the roof of my vehicles and lifting it in and out of the water.

It’s funny how I noticed my Sportspal that day when I stopped to talk with a friend. Come to think of it, I have always noticed Sportspal canoes whenever I have seen them atop vehicles passing by or out on the wa-ter. And if the truth be told, I probably always wanted to own one – inspired by their hokey birchbark paint jobs and ‘unique’ appearance.

All I know for sure is that this coming season I’ll be spending a lot more on the water in my new Sportspal, revelling in just being out there. Maybe I’ll cruise around, trolling a line and take in all the sights and sounds around me. Maybe next fall, when the autumn winds begin to blow, I’ll be able to head out on the water with one of those optional sail kits and be the master at the helm of my own ship.

I know I’ll probably never own a sailboat (not that I have ever really wanted to) but I do own a Sportspal – and that’s good enough for me.

Giving in to the charm of a hokey boat

Maybe it’s the false sense of security that cell phones bestow on people. Maybe it’s a misunder-standing of the power of a mountain. Maybe it’s just a complete absence of thought.

Whatever the reason, mountains have been doing what they do during winter recently, while some people appear to have been steadfastly ignoring them. Search and Rescue groups in B.C. have been far too busy of late, heading into the mountains at their own risk to rescue backcountry enthusiasts.

After hearing avalanche warnings leading up to this past weekend, it was saddening to hear reports of snowmobilers injured, killed and rescued after they ended up under avalanches.

One volunteer expressed his frustration to the media about the number of people who are heading out into the backcountry without adequate knowl-edge or preparation. And so he should. These res-cues are dangerous, expensive and disruptive to the lives of the rescuers – a task they’ve willingly un-dertaken, but not without serious thought.

Those who risk unnecessarily falling into harm’s way owe their potential rescuers equal consider-ation before heading out.

At the very least when going into the backcoun-try for any winter activity, remember what our local Shuwap Search and Rescue group stresses:

• Make a plan, communicate that plan and, if plans change, make sure everyone is made aware.

• Have a satellite phone, inreach devices, a search beacon, FRS radios, extra batteries. Do not rely on your cellphone.

• Take a fire starter kit, personal first aid kit and enough food and water for a 24-hour period.

• Have people with you and carry a probe and shovel.

• Dress for the conditions and pack extra socks, gloves and toque.

And, most importantly, think, think, think before you head out.

Family reunites with pet

Lizzie the dog will likely be on a very short leash for some time to come.

On Saturday, about a month after she went missing in the Old Town Bay area, Lizzie was found and returned to her owners, Liza, Dean and Melis-sa Yaretz.

The dog was found by Wayne Pedersen, who had been at the beach in Old Town with friends and fellow Langdon, Alta. resi-dents Teresa Suther-land, Kerwin Abram and Loretta Pitt, work-ing on his houseboat. Pedersen said they saw the dog walk onto the beach and initially thought it belonged to another person whose car was parked nearby.

“We went to leave and saw a poster of a missing dog,” com-mented Pedersen. “The dog came up to us and met the description and hopped in my truck.”

Lizzie was returned to the Yaretz’ on Feb. 20. The family is grate-ful to Pedersen and company, and to all those who spent hours climbing and searching the area where Lizzie went missing.

“We had people in groups out there searching and hiking the mountain… day and night. I mean, I couldn’t have asked for better,” said Liza, who is amazed that Lizzie was returned, but adds she never gave up hope.

Though Lizzie is

one of the family, she’s especially fond of Me-lissa who is relieved to have her canine com-panion back.

“I just want to thank everybody that helped out,” said Melissa. “I’m glad Lizzie is home safe. My dad was worried – he looked for her with help from ev-erybody. I’m happy to have my Lizzie back.”

Liza said Dean was out taking Lizzie and another family dog for an evening walk when Lizzie broke away and disappeared.

Search efforts have been going on since, with help from numer-ous family friends in-cluding Debbie Fortin of K9-1-1 Animal Res-cue and Vikki Myers of Grandma Vikki’s Dog Grooming.

Myers, who cares for Lizzie’s mother and three brothers, said she was determined to � nd the dog as soon as she received word it had gone missing. This, said Myers, involved a

lot of climbing. During the search,

Myers said the faint sound of a dog barking could be heard, but no one could determine exactly where it was coming from. But like Liza, Myers said she never gave up hope, inspired by the story of a golden retriever that was missing for two years before it returned home.

“There was hope in that story,” said Myers.

Liza says Lizzie’s good health before she went missing likely helped her to survive in the bush. Though Lizzie lost weight dur-ing her backcountry experience, Liza says the dog is doing well.

“We’re all glad she’s home and it’s going to be a slow road to re-covery but we’re going to get her there,” said Liza. “She’s showing all good signs. She’s spirited, she’s happy, she’s back into her routine – just very low energy.”

The relieved Liza called it a learning ex-perience for her whole family, Lizzie includ-ed. It’s one, however, that won’t be repeated as Lizzie may � nd her-self � tted with a GPS collar for future walks.

“She’s not going to be doing that again,” laughs Liza.

SOUTH SHUSWAP

Recently the CSRD board unanimously approved a resolution to be reviewed at the upcoming Southern Interior Local Gov-ernment Association meeting which asks the B.C. government to implement legislation providing tax cred-its to those investing in Community Eco-nomic Development Investment Funds, or CEDIFs, in this prov-ince.

In Nova Scotia, in-vestors receive a per-

sonal tax credit of 35 per cent in year one, an additional 20 per cent in year five and a fur-ther 10 per cent in year 10 when they purchase shares in a CEDIF fund.

Some funds pay an-nual or semi-annual dividends providing a further return on in-vestment, and CEDIFs may be eligible for RRSPs.

A key rationale for establishing a tax-ben-eficial CEDIF structure in B.C. is the obvious benefit of directing funds back into one’s own community in or-der to help stimulate the local economy.

Providing tax credits significantly increases the attractiveness of CEDIFs to investors. Currently, most invest-ment vehicles result in funds being moved to

support corporations located in major urban centres in Canada or other countries. This exodus of funds does nothing to help local communities.

CEDIFs are usually structured as share-is-suing co-operatives or corporations that sell shares to the public and use the capital raised to invest in eligible local businesses.

Rules guide the maximum annual con-tribution amounts, the application of the per-sonal tax credit, divi-dends, uses of funds, number of investors and shares within a fund, and length of time that funds must remain invested.

In Nova Scotia, 48 different CEDIF funds have invested more than $43 million back into local communities

over the past 15 years. A review of this pro-gram determined that it was revenue-neutral after two years.

CEDIF funds ad-dress specific or gen-eral needs for capital. Some funds are very specific with the en-tire investment pool directed towards one project; others support a sector of the econo-my, and still others are so-called “blind pools” which are used to sup-port all types of busi-nesses within a geo-graphic area.

One of the most suc-cessful CEDIF funds in Nova Scotia is the Farmworks program (see farmworks.ca).

Each CEDIF fund is developed by a group of individuals who wish to financially sup-

WE DELIVER FLYERSFrom concept to doorstep...


I do not remember a time when the pub-lic has been asked to provide input into a federal budget and I encourage you all to do so. City council cer-tainly took the oppor-tunity; here is our letter and budget submission to Minister of Finance Bill Morneau.

Dear Minister Mor-neau:

Thank you for your invitation to provide input into the 2016 fed-eral budget.

The Salmon Arm City council supports your government’s initiative to help build the necessary infra-structure projects that provide employment, are environmentally friendly and either repair or replace the present eroding infra-structure.

We recognize that the Chase to Alberta transportation corridor connects east to west and plays a vital role in the movement of goods to the Port of Vancou-ver. This stretch of highway is integral to our economy and our people and, as such, should be a primary focus.

A key component of

the Chase to Alberta transportation route is the Salmon River Bridge on the Trans-Canada Highway, west of Salmon Arm. This two-lane, curved bridge is old and dan-gerous and is in need of replacement.

Our city’s commer-cial sector has grown on the west side of town, and the traffic on the highway channels from four to two lanes across this bridge.

The provincial Min-istry of Transportation and Infrastructure has been working with the city and our First Na-tions neighbours, the Neskonlith and Adams Lake Indian bands, to finalize this project.

We need Federal funds to make the proj-ect happen. Not only will completion of this project help meet the government’s goal of

four-laning the Trans-Canada Highway, the flood mitigation strat-egies embedded in the plan will help solve a long-standing prob-lem of the imminent flooding of the Salmon River.

While our city has many projects that we are working towards, we would like to take this opportunity to draw attention to one other crucial infra-structure project that needs federal fund-ing: the upgrade of the sanitary sewer main which runs along the foreshore of Shuswap Lake.

This line moves sew-age from Canoe and outlying subdivisions to our sewage treat-ment plant.

The main was in-stalled in 1976 and is 39 years old. We had a breach in the line in

2012, and narrowly averted an environ-mental disaster of sew-age spilling into our lake. It is only a matter of time before the pipe fails again.

We have applied for a grant under the New Building Canada Small Communities Fund; the project cost is esti-mated at $1.8 million, however we were un-successful.

We were told to ap-ply for phase two fund-ing of this grant and are optimistic we will receive federal funds to ensure we can com-plete these upgrades.

We appreciate the opportunity to provide input to your govern-ment around the 2016 budget and look for-ward to working with you to ensure impor-tant infrastructure projects will be able to move ahead.

City council sends budget wishes

How to do a self-breast exam

What to know about getting a mammogram

WellnessYour Health &

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

(NC) Breast cancer can be a prolonged and difficult battle. Once in remission, having to think about the possibility of recurrence can be a painful process. However, in order to prevent relapse, it is important to maintain breast health for the best possible outcome. RCA Diagnostics notes that the possibility of recurrence is common among breast cancer survivors, but with the right steps, getting to know your breasts again can help save your life.

Following treatment, a woman’s breasts will invariably feel and look different. Self-screening can be a frustrating process for many, and it can at times

be scary. Getting to know your body again will aid in the healing process and help to detect any early signs that cancer might return. Through self-assessment, women will be able to get to know the new formation of their breasts and understand how to find lumps, bumps and abnormalities.Changes to look for include:• Dimpling of the skin;• Discharge from the nipple;• Lumps;• Rashes on the breast.

RCA also recommends looking for the following additional signs that could signal recurrence:• Bone pain;• Chest pain;• Abdominal pain;

• Shortness of breath;• Persistent headaches and

coughing.In addition to self-

screening, counselling following treatment, continuing to utilize diagnostic services including ultrasounds and women’s imaging, as well as following a routine of daily exercise and a healthy lifestyle can

also aid in recovery.RCA Diagnostics offers

women’s imaging that provides a wide range of medical imaging services at clinics across western Canada. More information about breast health and screenings is available at www.radiology.ca/

www.newscanada.com

(NC) Women know that getting a mammogram done every year is an important step in taking care of themselves and detecting or preventing any potential problems. While many women may have heard of screening m a m m o g r a m s for detection and prevention of breast cancer, there is a different type of testing for those patients who require a more in-depth screening.

RCA Diagnostics

explains the difference:

S c r e e n i n g mammograms are generally used for women who have no symptoms or signs of cancer and are precautionary in nature. “Screening mammograms take an X-Ray of the internal structure of the breast tissue in order to detect signs of breast cancer that are too small to be felt by a woman or her doctor,” explains RCA’s Dr. Valentine.

D i a g n o s t i c m a m m o g r a m s are used when an

abnormality is found by screening and are sometimes conducted for women who have previously had breast cancer, biopsy procedures or a history of cancer in their family. “During a diagnostic mammogram, more photos are generally taken in order to look closer at the area of concern,” says Dr. Valentine. “Depending on the case, we may also do an ultrasound or use varying imaging techniques in order to evaluate the concern in more depth.”

RCA recommends selecting the service dependent on how you fit the following descriptions.

Women who would have a screening mammogram:

• Have had no signs of breast cancer in the past;

• Have had no signs of breast abnormalities in the past;

• Are over the age of 40 and have never been screened.

Women who would have a diagnostic mammogram:

• Have had the possibility of breast

abnormalities occur in the past;

• Have had a breast augmentation;

• Have a history of cancer;

• Have had a breast biopsy or breast surgery in the last three years;

• Have found an abnormality during a self-screen.

RCA Diagnostics provides diagnostic women’s imaging services. More information is available at www.radiology.ca/services/mammography..

The Salmon Arm Ecu-menical KAIROS Commit-tee presents “Standing With the Unist’ot’en: Protect the Land, Water and Indigenous Rights,” at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 28, at First United Church.

The Unist’ot’en, a clan of the Wet’suwet’en First Na-tion, are struggling to prevent three petroleum companies from laying pipelines in their territory.

Two would carry liquid gas obtained through hydraulic fracturing (fracking), which

is 20 times more powerful a climate change driver than carbon dioxide.

The other pipeline (North-ern Gateway) would carry corrosive bitumen from the Alberta tar sands, risking contamination of land and water from leakage and spills.

Denying permission is a First Nations right enshrined in the United Nations Decla-ration on the Rights of Indig-enous Peoples, which states that there must be free, prior and informed consent from the indigenous people con-

cerned before any project af-fecting their lands or territo-ries can be approved.

The TRC Report has shown Canadians how churches and governments collaborated to extinguish language, culture and identity of indigenous children, breaking bonds of family and community, con-tributing to a separation of people from the land, while suppressing the spirituality that celebrated that connec-tion.

KAIROS Salmon Arm sees the Feb. 28 program as a small

part of that important work. The program will feature

talks by Rev. Jenny Carter, the Minister at First United Church, and Kanahus Manu-el, Secwepemc land defender.

There will also be two short films about the work of the Unist’ot’en, and a silent auc-tion as a fundraiser to help with legal costs.

The program will begin at 2 p.m. while the auction will open at 1:30 p.m.

For more information, con-tact Anne Morris at 250-833-5773.

Food waste is next on the regional dis-trict’s menu of items to divert from landfills.

A 30-week food waste diversion trial will take place in some electoral areas of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

The board had en-dorsed an organics di-version strategy at the November board meet-ing which includes a strategy to achieve a CSRD-wide food dis-posal ban by 2020.

At last week’s board meeting in Salmon Arm, directors were asked to approve $25,000 from the Elec-toral Area D Com-munity Works Fund to place and process receptacles for the weekly collection of food waste at transfer stations in Falkland/Salmon Valley/Ran-chero, North Shuswap, South Shuswap, Rural Sicamous and Rural Revelstoke.

E n v i r o n m e n t a l

Health Services team leader Ben Van Nos-trand told directors that Area D director Rene Talbot supports the removal of food from landfills and was agreeable to coughing up the money for a trial program.

The trial will not be open to everyone.

Van Nostrand ex-plained that people who want to take part will be given instruc-tion along with kitchen catchers for their home bins and a key to ac-cess the locked bins.

North Shuswap di-rector Larry Morgan was concerned that 70 per cent of the popula-tion in his area are ab-sentee owners, but Van Nostrand assured him visitors had taken to re-cycling programs well.

Salmon Arm director Chad Eliason said he was glad a local com-pany, Spa Hills Farm will be gathering and processing the food waste as they already do in several municipal locations

“Spa Hills does a

great job and hopefully we can work out the kinks and can offer it in Salmon Arm,” he said. “It’s an exciting step moving forward for the CSRD.”

Area E director and board chair Rhona Martin wanted assur-ances testing will be done with regard to contamination.

“They’ve been do-ing this for a while,” replied Van Nostrand. “I think by restrict-ing access at the bins, contamination will be low.”

Martin then ques-tioned why Talbot was paying for the trial in total. She told directors she would be willing to put in $10,000 from her community works fund.

“Then we should have all area directors involved put $5,000 in,” said South Shus-wap director Paul De-menok.

“Thanks for coming forward, you guilted us all into it,” said Martin, drawing laughs from directors.

“Is milk good for you?”

Nutrition has become an increasingly dif-ficult field to navigate as there is a surplus of information. Both good and bad, it is swayed not only by health but ethics, culture, taste, marketing and personal experience. The truthful answer to almost any nutrition question is, “it depends who you ask!”

Nutritionally speak-ing, cow’s milk is an important food in Cana-da because it is the main source of three impor-tant nutrients: calcium, vitamin D and protein. An eight-ounce glass of milk offers about nine grams of protein (the equivalent to one and a half eggs), 300 mil-ligrams of calcium (30 per cent of what most need in a day) and 100 IU of vitamin D.

Bones can be thought of as calcium banks, and if you do not get enough calcium from your diet, the body will withdraw it from your bones. Over time, this makes them thin and porous and prone to breaking. Breaking bones later in life can be devastating, leading to hospitalizations and

even loss of indepen-dence and mobility.

That being said, there are many valid reasons to avoid milk. Many people are lactose in-tolerant (meaning they cannot break down the sugar in milk), some are allergic, some are trying to avoid animal products, some do not like the taste. For those people, industry has created many alterna-tives: soy, almond, hemp, coconut, rice, cashew.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind if you are choos-ing a milk alternative:

• Not all milk alterna-tives are fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Check the label.

• Milk alternatives, with the exception of soy milk, are not signif-icant sources of protein.

• The sugar and cal-cium found in milk are naturally occurring, whereas those found in milk alternatives are added (usually as cane sugar and calcium car-bonate).

• Milk alternatives are not appropriate for children under the age of two. Acceptable al-ternatives to homog-enized milk are forti-fied full-fat pasteurized goat’s milk or soy in-fant formula. Fortified soy beverages are ac-ceptable if given as an occasional offering, in addition to breastmilk or formula.

It’s going to cost more to attend Okanagan Col-lege.

The institution will increase its tuition for do-mestic and international students by two per cent in the coming year.

“The decision was reached by the college’s board of governors Tuesday, and follows policy set by the provincial government which limits fee increases to that amount,” states a release.

For a university transfer arts student taking a full load of lecture courses, the increase will amount to about $64 per year, rising to $3,277.

For a student taking a six-month electrical foun-dation program, tuition would increase by $50 to $2,586.

The Adams Lake In-dian Band will be ex-panding Chief Atahm School, one of B.C.’s most successful im-mersion schools.

The Minister of In-digenous and Northern Affairs, Carolyn Ben-nett, announced on Feb. 23 funding sup-port for nine innovative projects that will result in new school facilities for more than 20 First Nations communities across the country.

The minister made the announcement dur-ing her address to the Assembly of First Na-tions National First Na-tion Directors of Edu-cation Forum, where First Nation directors of education gathered to share successful ed-ucation practices and

discuss approaches to move forward on First Nation education.

The First Nations-led school facility proj-ects will use innovative approaches to build school facilities that meet the needs of First Nation students on re-serves.

By using innovative approaches to school construction, such as bundling projects and contracts, employing modular and pre-fab-ricated construction and using alternative financing measures, the projects will en-able more First Na-tion students to benefit from new or renovated school facilities.

The new Innova-tion Fund recipients in B.C. include: Adams

Lake Indian Band, Squiala First Nation, Old Massett Village Council First Nation and Westbank First Nation. Others are: Blood Tribe/Kainai (Alberta), Meadow Lake Tribal Council (Saskatchewan), Fisher River First Nation and Southeast Resource Development Council Corp (Manitoba) and the Innu Takuaikan Uashat mak Mani-Utenam First Nation (Quebec).

“The Adams Lake Indian Band is ex-cited to be a recipi-ent of the Innovation Fund for education construction,” stated Adams Lake Band Chief Robin Billy in a news release. “This funding will be used

to expand the Chief Atahm School, one of the most success-ful immersion schools in the province. This funding in design-part-nership with the West-bank First Nation will provide much needed space for additional students.

“The Chief Atahm school is instrumental in preserving the Sec-wepemc language and culture for future gen-

erations and our com-munity looks forward to starting this impor-tant project. Kucst-semc.”

Commented Chief Robert Louie of the Westbank First Nation:

“Westbank First Na-tion is excited to be working jointly with the Adams Lake Indian Band on school expan-sions of similar designs to enhance the edu-cational and cultural learning experiences of our communities. The additional classrooms, multi-purpose areas and features that this project supports will allow for increased enrolment and an im-proved learning envi-ronment to better meet the needs of our grow-ing community.”

Funding for Chief Atahm SchoolExpanding: Adams Lake band to work with Westbank First Nation.

A hearing is set for April 11 to determine whether delays in crim-inal proceedings should overturn the conviction of a boater who crashed into a houseboat, killing its operator.

In October, Leon Reinbrecht was found guilty in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops of criminal negligence causing death and crim-inal negligence causing bodily harm for his ac-tions on July 3, 2010.

Reinbrecht’s speed-boat on Shuswap Lake ran into a houseboat ]killing Ken Brown and injuring a number of passengers.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan found Reinbrecht guilty on both counts, finding he was travelling too fast and recklessly in the moments before he struck Brown’s house-boat in the dark.

Defence lawyers working for Reinbrecht earlier filed a challenge alleging delays in legal

proceedings caused by the Crown breached Reinbrecht’s rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It took 17 months for charges to be laid and there were a number of delays before the trial.

The hearing was orig-inally set for March, but the defence applied for an adjournment to give more time to prepare.

Chase RCMP called out Shuswap Search & Rescue on Saturday night, Feb. 20, to assist the Crowfoot Snowmobile Club with a missing snow-mobiler in their area.

The man had been separated from his friends for more than 10 hours before he was located by members of the Crowfoot sled club.

The sledder was then brought back to the cabin to be warmed up until Shuswap SAR could ar-rive and complete a first-aid assessment. Besides being very cold, he was very thankful to all who came to his aid.

When heading out into the backcountry for any winter activity, Shuwap SAR would like to re-mind the public of the following tips.

• Make a plan, communicate that plan and, if plans change, make sure everyone is made aware.

• Communications – have a satellite phone, in-reach devices, Spots, FRS radios, extra batteries. Do not rely on your cellphone.

• Take a fire starter kit, personal first aid kit and enough food and water for a 24-hour period.

• PPE - Have peeps, probe and shovel.• Clothing – dress for the conditions and pack

extra socks, gloves and toque.

Hello again everyone! As per usual, I hope you all had a lovely week! We are gearing up for one of our busiest weekends of the year; our annual February Bowl-A-Spiel! Village Lanes will be playing host this weekend to roughly 30 teams, both local and out of towners who are looking to claim the prestigious Bowl-A-Spiel trophy! It’s a fun weekend, � lled with round the clock bowling, a drink or two, and a Chinese dinner for those participating! In conjunction with the tournament, the Village Lanes Bowling Club also puts on a silent auc-tion fundraiser to help support our youth and senior programs! The silent auction opens at 4:00pm on Friday evening, and closes on Sat-urday evening at 6:00pm! The auction is NOT limited to bowlers only, so if you’re looking for something to do this weekend, come down to the lanes to watch some bowling, and bid on some auction items for a great cause! Con-gratulations being sent out to our two Chase teams who participated in Port Coquitlam for the chance to win a trip to Hawaii! Unfortu-nately, if our local competitors are wanting to go on a sunny trip, they will have to pay for it themselves, as they did not win this past week-end. Red Manson and Terry Vandevosse placed 8th, while Terry Berreth, and partner Ray Jack-son placed 11th. Now for some weekly league high scores! Patrick Wright had a massive day on the lanes last Thursday, bowling a 326 sin-gle and a 782 triple! Way to go Patrick! Mayor Rick Berrigan rolled a 304 single, his � rst one ever! Congrats Rick! The men outplayed the ladies this week, while Larry Carlson rolled a 301 single. Well done guys! We will get you next week! Until then, have a great week!

ONLINE SAFETY BEGINS AT HOME.Talk to your kids about online safety

The Chase Heat, af-ter 52 regular season games, are headed to the 1st round of play-offs versus the Kam-loops Storm. The Heat finished third in their division and take on the Big City crew that fin-ished second. The first-place 100 Mile House Wranglers face the fourth-place Revelstoke Grizzlies.

A fierce rivalry ex-ists between Chase and Kamloops and the short trip down the highway should ensure fans from both teams in the stands

every night. At press-time the first two games will have been played in Kamloops. Games 3 and 4 go Friday, Feb. 26 and Saturday the 27th at 7 p.m. at the Art Hold-ing Memorial Arena.

If necessary, Game 5 is in Kamloops Monday the 29th. Game 6 is in Chase Tuesday, March 1 and, if the series goes the full seven games, action will end Wednes-day, March 2 in Kam-

loops. Tickets are avail-able at the door and fans are encouraged to wear red!

The Heat played three games in five days to wrap up the regular season. On Tuesday the 16th they battled the chippy Revelstoke Grizzlies to a 4-3 vic-tory. On Thursday the 18th, the last home game of 26 saw the lo-cal crew snatch a 6-4 win from the talons of the Sicamous Eagles. Over the season the Chase team won 19 of 26 home games. On Saturday the 20th, Chase travelled to 100 Mile House to take part

in a meaningless contest versus the Wranglers who took two points in a 6-1 outcome for the Cariboo Cowboys.

As the KIJHL regular season wound down, the Chase Heat held their Annual Banquet and Awards Night.

On Sunday, Feb. 21 at the Adams Lake Conference Centre, 175 parents, billet families, fans, volunteers, staff and players congregat-ed. The event included a succulent roast beef and ham dinner, special desserts, a fundraising silent auction, a guest speaker and the award presentations.

The evening’s master of ceremonies was Tom Atkinson, the guest speaker Vic Bifano, and Andrea Stelter compiled an excellent, well-received video of the players.

Director of hockey operations/head coach Brad Fox presented the well-deserved player awards:

• Most Valuable play-er – Nic Bruyere, #31.

• Top Defenceman (tie) – Trevor Okino, #7, Braden Hughes, #20.

• Top Scorer – Kolten Moore, #11.

• Rookie of the Year – Michael Fidanza, #14.

• Most Sportsman-like – Alexander Dur-beniuk, #5.

• Warrior (tie) – Spencer Farstad, #26, Travis Beaubien, #17.

• Unsung Hero - Grady Musgrave, #6.

• Most Improved – Pat Brady, #9.

• Top scholastic – Michael Fidanza, #14.

• Game Star (tie) –Travis Beaubien, #17, Kolten Moore, #11.

• Fan favourite – Kol-ten Moore, #11.

• Most Dedicated – the team.

In a surprise an-nouncement, “Foxy” explained the special reasons why the team first-roster received the Most Dedicated award. Those in attendance gave the team a rous-ing standing ovation in agreement.

A special presenta-tion was made to the four 20 year olds on

the team who have completed their ju-nior hockey eligibility. They were the leader-ship group all season and wore the “letters” as a result. Captain Trevor Okino and as-sistants Alexander Dur-beniuk, Braden Hughes and Tommy Brown were presented with framed mementos, per-sonalized travel bags and Heat golf shirts.

In a second surprise of the evening, the four veterans presented Brad Fox with a gift in appreciation of all that he has done for them in their development on

and off the ice.The presentations

were concluded with the Volunteer of the Year award going to billet co-ordinator Janice Winfield. She works tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the players have suitable billet homes provided in the community. Without billets, the KI-JHL franchise would be nonexistent.

The Heat hockey organization is very proud of each and ev-ery one of the players who stood united and made 2015-16 the best in franchise history.

UPDATES A L M O N A R M

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.

Our club has been helping to support the Safe Motherhood Project for many years, and earlier this month, two of our Rotarians (Penny Brown and Mary Scheidegger) accompanied the local medical team to Gua-temala, to document and help out hands-on. The Safe Motherhood Project aims to reduce the maternal and neonatal mortality rate in Guatemala (which is amongst the highest in the world) by teaching risk assessment and emergency skills to the mostly untrained Traditional Birth Attendants (Comadronas) and volunteer � rst-responders (Bomberos) in the rural highlands. Enjoy some of the (more than 3200 taken) photos. Visit our Facebook page to see more: facebook.com/shuswaprotaryclubs Thank you Salmon Arm.

Fred Wood of Salmon Arm, born on February 9, 1930 in Weston Ontario, passed away peacefully on February 16, 2016 at the Kelowna Hospice House. Born to Jack and Lillian Wood he was a brother to Ron (Helen), Jean (Ernie), Ernie (Rita), Mick and Margaret.

Fred married Betty Anne Barker in 1951. They lived in Toronto, Winnipeg andEdmonton before settling in Tappen in 1978. Fred and Betty raised 5 children during this time. Following thepassing of Betty in 2007 after 55+ years of wonderfulmarriage, Fred moved into Salmon Arm. In 2010 Fredrenewed an old friendship with Marg McQueen. That friendship grew into something special. Marg would eventually move to Salmon Arm in 2010 and thetwo were married in October 2013. A very thankful Thanksgiving.

Fred was an avid outdoorsman, hunting, fishing, andcamping were his passions. He was also a fan of bigblock motorcycles and was the owner of a mid-40’sHarley Davidson. A motorcycle he would eventuallysell so he could afford to buy an engagement ring forhis bride to be, Betty Anne.

But what Fred will be most remembered for is beinga father and family man. Fred inspired & enabled his children to do as much as they could as bestas he could. Having his kids play softball, baseball,hockey, bowling he ensured we were at the games intime. Fred spent many many hours watching these activities. This passion he would later share with hisGrandchildren and created many great memories.

Those that came to meet Fred got to know aperson who was friendly, honest and kind. He alwayshad time for a long chat or a few words. You needhelp? Ask Fred. He was someone who would alwaysmake an effort to help those who needed help.Perhaps this was best shown when Fred and Betty ran the Salmon Arm Food Bank from 1981 to 1996. Fred and Betty were also responsible for the start-up of the Christmas Bear Program in Salmon Arm.

Fred is survived by his wife Margaret and her twosons Jimmy (Shelly) John (Nancy) daughter Anne(Don) son’s David (Beth) Michael (Cheryl) and Scott (Kathleen) ,Tom (deceased 2015) William (deceased 1953). Fred also leaves behind 9 grandchildren and 3great grandchildren which he dearly loved.

Fred’s family would like thank those at the Kelowna Hospice House, Dr. Breugum Salmon Arm, Dr.Connor Salmon Arm, Dr. Mark Clark Kelowna. Fred’sfamily would also like to thank all those friends and family from Salmon Arm to Toronto for their support and well wishes during these past few months.

A celebration of life service was held from BowersFuneral Chapel on Saturday, tributes were shared by family and friends. Cremation arrangements in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium,Salmon Arm.

Carl Heinz Follack of Salmon Arm, B.C., born in Meeting Lake, Saskatchewan, June 28th, 1933 to Wilhelm and Erna Follack, passed away peacefully at Hillside Village, Salmon Arm, B.C. on February 17th, 2016 at the age of 82.

Carl was predeceased by his parents Wilhelm and Erna, wife Marilyn Pritchard, sister Anne, and brothers Wilhelm andReinholt.

He leaves behind his children Linda (Darryl), Rick, Robert and Sandra, as well as grandchildren, Julia, Megan, Nicholas and Nathan, sisters Esther andLillian, and brother David (Valerie).

As a young man, Carl left Saskatchewan andventured to B.C. where he met Marilyn Pritchard. They were married in Surrey, B.C. on April 19th, 1958and eventually bought an old farmhouse on 40 acresin Aldergrove where they raised their four children, Linda, Rick, Robert, and Sandra. Carl was a man offew words, but if you wanted a chin-wag, then coffeewas always ready at 10 a.m. He was a hard worker and liked to be busy. Carl had no formal training oreducation, but regardless, was a master of any trade he cared to pursue - carpenter, metalworker, welder,engineer, orchardist and inventor – Carl was talentedin all he tackled, and he renovated the house to holdhis family and built barns and shops for their farm. Soon the house was a perpetual whirlwind filled withfamily and friends. Carl was never too busy to helphis friends. His workshop was a gathering placewhere he helped many a neighbour fix equipmentor build something for their farms. He and Marilynoperated a successful mink ranch for over 25 yearsbefore they “retired” and moved to Salmon Arm in1990 to an old cherry orchard. There Carl discovereda passion for his orchard and brought it back to life,supplying many happy customers with cherries,strawberries and raspberries over the next 25 years.Again, he brought his many talents to Salmon Arm and spent his days helping his friends andneighbours with whatever needed fixing or building.They were happily married for 45 years before Carl lost his soulmate when Marilyn died in May 2003. We will miss his big smile, his penchant for teasing, his love of a good joke, and his wave as he roars off in his Gator to check the orchard.

Thank you to Dr. Amy Megyesi, the staff at HillsideVillage, the Shuswap General Hospital and theShuswap Hospice Society for caring for Carl withsuch kindness and dedication.

There is no funeral by Carl’s request. Ashes will be laid by family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your

charity of choice. Arrangements entrusted to Bower’s Funeral Service & Crematorium, Salmon Arm, B.C.(250) 832-2223.

Drive to Save Lives

Lack of a venue won’t be a roadblock as Salmon Arm Sec-ondary pursues a wish to host the 2017 BC High School Wrestling Championships.

City council has agreed to provide up to $7,000 – $2,000 from the Shuswap Commu-nity Foundation and up to $5,000 from the council initiatives bud-get – to ensure that SAS can apply to host the championships.

SAS Sullivan campus principal Rob MacAulay is grateful to have volunteer wrestling coach Ray Munsie working with the school. He says Munsie has helped create what is now the biggest sports team at SAS, just about doubling the number of students participating in winter sports.

“And because he is present here, we have a real opportunity to bring in a venue that normally

we would have abso-lutely no chance of bringing into this com-munity that will not only give us some great sports opportunities, but will actually have some very pleasant fiscal re-sults for our communi-ty,” MacAuley told city council Feb. 8.

The championships would be held late Feb-ruary or early March. With the 442 competi-tors the championships saw this year, Mun-sie estimates a similar event in Salmon Arm could generate about $45,000 in economic spinoffs.

Munsie said whether he submits a bid would depend on if the event can be held at Shaw Centre. He said he was quoted about $10,000 for the three days need-ed for the event.

“In the past six years – and that’s as far back as I’ve tracked it… ev-ery host city for the past six years has donated the venue,” said Mun-sie. “The best ones that we have had are hockey arenas because it makes

it so easy to control the crowd.

“Whether the venue comes to us as an out-and-out grant… or whether it comes in the form of a gift… We don’t need the money,

we need the venue, and I look to you for help to do that.”

Sweetening the deal, MacAulay explained that while the main event is happening on the arena floor, the con-course could be used to show off what the area has to offer.

Coun. Kevin Flynn noted he is council’s representative on the Shuswap Recreation Society Board, and the rental quote given to Munsie seemed ex-

tremely high. “I think there’s some

room to sit down with our rec society… It looks like a commercial rate,” said Flynn.

At council’s next meeting, Feb. 22, coun-cil wrestled with how to help.

Staff informed coun-cil that the rec society could offer the venue for $7,000, if SAS would do set up and take down. As well, $2,000 is available in the city’s grant handled by the Shuswap Com-munity Foundation.

Staff also noted Feb-ruary is a busy time of year for hockey, but jug-gling could be done.

Couns. Alan Harri-son and Ken Jamieson stepped out during dis-cussions due to poten-tial conflict of interest, and Mayor Nancy Coo-per was absent.

Couns. Flynn, Chad Eliason and Louise Wallace Richmond vot-ed to go ahead with the offer of up to $7,000, while Coun. Tim Lav-ery voted against.

He noted other groups

include costs in registra-tion fees to cover such events. He said he’d be willing to go with the $2,000 and offer his own sweat equity.

Eliason said the city offsets costs for every event in the arena in some form.

“These centres are loss leaders for our community, no matter what.”

Flynn said he’d like to see the club get spon-sorships to reduce the city’s contribution, and noted he likes wrestling as it’s suitable for kids of all sizes.

Profile of the weekNorbert Lazarus, Your

German Painter - Master’s business owner, is not a regular painter like many others. Norbert started as an apprentice in 1973 in Germany, and after three years, he went to a special painter school where he got his Master’s Degree in Painting.
