Dragon boats get new lease on lifeLeft to the elements and

birds under a Vancouver bridge, several tired-looking dragon boats will be restored to their former beauty here in Salmon Arm.

Rooted in an ancient folk ritual, dragon boat races have been held for more than 2,000 years throughout southern China.

The sport was introduced to Canada when the Chinese boats were donated to Expo ’86, the World Exposition on

Transportation and Commu-nication in Vancouver.

“Several years later, the Vancouver Taiwanese Cul-tural Society introduced six of their traditional yellow cedar racing boats to Van-couver, bringing the com-plete collection to a total of 15 wooden dragon boats,” notes Ted Crouch, a Shus-wap Association for Rowing and Paddling (SARP) direc-tor. “Following two decades of regular use by thousands of paddlers, they have been dry-docked under the Bur-rard Street bridge since 2008

and each of the boats require varying degrees of restora-tion.”

The Chinese Cultural Centre Dragon Boat As-sociation (CCCDBA) who owned the boats was asked to move them or lose them to the landfill.

After trying unsuccess-fully to get a Lower Main-land club to take the boats, a ‘for-sale’ notice was posted on a Dragon Boat West web forum.

n Ed Campbell poses with one of the Taiwanese dragon boats he will be working to restore in the coming months.

Spying the notice, Crouch contacted the association beginning what he calls ‘the great dragon boat event.’

At the end of April, he and canoe restora-tion expert Ed Camp-bell drove to the Coast to learn their history and decide if the boats could be salvaged.

“On the way back from Vancouver, we agreed, ‘it’s all or noth-ing,’” says an enthusi-astic Crouch of discov-ering that beneath the grunge lay the gorgeous teak of basically sound boats. “I felt we had a responsibility to the dragon boat community of Canada.”

Eminently qualified to judge the condition of the boats, the semi-retired Campbell has taught several courses in log home construc-tion and canoe building at the college level.

Back in Salmon Arm, Crouch met with Mayor Nancy Cooper, Lana Fitt, manager of Salm-on Arm Economic De-velopment Society and Robyn Cyr, Columbia Shuswap Regional Dis-trict economic develop-ment officer and Shus-wap Tourism manager.

“These women each saw the project as unique, with signifi-cant potential for skill training, community involvement and tour-ism development,” says Crouch, noting Okana-gan College Salmon Arm dean Jim Barmby, also saw the possibili-ties.

After getting the CCCDBA to donate rather than sell the boats, paddles and drums, the next hurdle was finding a way to get 15 40-foot boats, each weighing 1,400 pounds, from Vancouver to

Salmon Arm.The Chinese asso-

ciation had access to a trailer and Dean Fortin, a longtime member of the Vancouver dragon-boating community donated his expertise in transporting the boats.

A business owner Crouch describes as a “strong, community minded” individual, of-fered secure, sheltered space for the restora-tion.

“I have almost a mystical feeling about them,” said Campbell, gently rubbing the glo-rious teak his work has revealed on one of the boats last Friday. “It’s almost a living thing; the wood could go back more than 100 years.”

And Campbell is ready to share his ex-pertise.

The not-for-profit Aspiral Youth Partners Association is prepar-ing an application for a provincially adminis-tered community em-ployment development grant.

If approved, Aspiral will manage the year-long project that would see up to 12 individuals

gain marketable work experience to assist them in the develop-ment of new skills in woodwork, restoration, painting, power tool op-eration, personal man-agement and teamwork, supported by short-term courses in work-place safety and first aid.

“Ed is the heart and soul of what we are do-ing here,” says Crouch of Campbell’s passion for wood as well as teaching and business acumen.

The CCCDBA do-nation was arrived at with the understanding that one of the restored

dragon boats would be returned to the associa-tion.

And while several of the boats will remain with SARP, Crouch and Campbell envision the restored works of art on display in a number of museums, airports and other venues.

Passionate in his be-lief the wooden water craft must be preserved, Crouch intends to con-tinue co-ordinating the restoration project, but other organizations and individuals are wel-come to get onboard.

To learn more about the project and how you

can become involved, contact Crouch at 250-833-0332, or send an email to [email protected].

You can take the girl off the farm, but you can’t take the farm out of the girl.

Jacqui Gingras, NDP candidate in the North Okanagan-Shuswap riding, learned plenty about hard work, disci-pline and food sources growing up on a hobby farm in Oyama.

“The farm provided what we needed for our family,” said Gingras, a 1987 graduate of Lake Country’s George El-liot Secondary School, whose family included her parents and a young-er sister and brother.

“We didn’t sell any-thing at the farm gate. We had horses, chick-ens, pigs, goats, cows, a massive garden, fruit trees and hay fields. It taught me a lot about local food and agricul-ture.”

Gingras and her sib-lings would pick fruit from the trees, fruit that would be canned and preserved. They would milk the cows, and their mom would make ice cream. Mom baked bread.

“It was where I learned how to cook and take care of my-self,” said Gingras. It was significant in mov-ing me into nutrition.”

Upon graduation from GESS, Gingras enrolled at Okanagan College, then trans-ferred to UBC in Van-couver, finishing a bachelor of science in dietetics in 1994. After an internship at New

Westminster’s Royal Columbian Hospital to become a dietitian, Gin-gras decided she hadn’t quite had enough of school and completed her masters of science degree in nutrition in 1994 at the University of Alberta.

Gingras moved back to the West Coast to start her own consulting company – a company she still has – in 1998, hosting workshops and counselling women and men on eating disorders and body issues.

In 2002, Gingras went back to school and earned a PhD in educa-tion from UBC in 2006.

“I came into an inter-disciplinary program,” she said. “I wanted to ask questions about how health profession-als were educated.”

As she achieved her doctorate, Gingras and her partner, Kelly, wel-comed their first child, a girl, Evyn, now 11. The couple moved to Kelowna – the same street Gingras’ grand-mother lived on – and she began applying for university profes-sor jobs. The first of-fer she received was from Ryerson Univer-sity. Gingras accepted, moved east and has since become a tenured nutrition professor at the downtown Toronto school. Still, the desire to return to the Okana-gan was strong. Gingras recalled time spent at one of her favourite spots on Earth, the fam-ily cabin on Shuswap Lake in Canoe.

“I used to work in

Cinnemousun Nar-rows on the floating log store,” said Gingras. “It was hard work. The Shuswap will always have a place in my heart.”

Gingras and her fam-ily did move back to the Okanagan in 2012. Gin-gras, Kelly, Evyn and their son, Lewis, seven, live on a 44-acre prop-erty outside of Falk-land, where they have a raised-bed garden, two rescue horses, a dog and a cat.

Asked when the po-litical bug struck her, Gingras said it wasn’t really a bug but more of a political immersion at a young age.

“My grandma was a Grade 1 teacher who was very involved in politics and we talked about politics all of the time,” she said.

When the NDP formed the official op-position in 2011 shortly before the death of lead-er Jack Layton, Gingras became inspired.

“It was more Jack’s life than death that was the moment I felt called to serve,” she said.

“I have a wonderful career, am a success-ful academic but I was moved by Jack’s life. I said, ‘If I’m not going to run, then who am I waiting for? Why can’t I do this?’ The simple response is I can do this and want to do this.”

Eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Oct. 19 election, Gingras has been busy on the hus-tings. The No. 1 thing she keeps hearing from people is they want their rights restored.

“People are strug-gling, tired of working so hard and not be-ing able to make ends meet,” she said.

As for new NDP leader Tom Mulcair, Gingras called him “extraordinary,” and a “principled man.”

“He wants to make sure everyone in Cana-da is taken care of,” said Gingras.

SD#83 examines vehicle policy

In the wake of a Dis-trict Parent Advisory Council report critical of the vehicle expenses of School District #83 employees, the school board has now formed an internal committee to investigate.

In April, the DPAC issued a report ex-pressing concern about school district spend-ing, including concerns about the expenses al-located to vehicles – es-pecially those used by management. It went on to suggest many of these vehicles are not identified as school district property and are not always used for

school district business.“F150 Platinum

Ford trucks at a cost of $60,000 for manage-ment personnel are not necessary. Small com-muter vehicles eco-nomical on fuel should suffice for getting staff around our district. Further, SD83 vehicles should not be available for personal use on weekends and or vaca-tions to haul boats or trailers with,” says the DPAC report.

At Tuesday’s board meeting it was an-nounced an internal review of vehicle use and expense guidelines would be conducted. The school district says the review will not be

a public process, in part because some of the provisions for ve-hicles make up part of employees’ contracts. The review will then be brought back to an in-camera board meeting for discussion.

Kari Wilkinson, president of the DPAC, suggested the school district’s vehicles be equipped with GPS systems to monitor ap-propriate use and de-termine whether mile-age payments would be more cost-effective. She also hoped to see all school district-owned vehicles marked with a decal identifying that they belong to the school district.

Last Sunday’s total lunar eclipse, more often referred to as a ‘blood moon,’ was pretty impressive.

As I peered into the night-time sky, I felt both inspired and in awe, especially as the Earth’s shadow began to creep across the bright full moon, turning it a deep, bloody red.

A so-called ‘blood moon’ occurs when a full moon is completely within the dark umbral shadow of the Earth, and the only sunlight able to reach is a red light that has been filtered and refracted by the Earth’s atmosphere. One cannot help but wonder what primitive man thought when they too looked up at the night sky and witnessed such a phenomena.

I wonder how many other people were looking up into the night sky last Sunday. I know that both Donovan and Arlo Guthrie watched the eclipse because they posted the fact on Facebook. I am friends with both of them on Facebook. Not that either of them even know I exist. We are not friends in real life, merely though the wonders of social media and the Inter-

net. I wouldn’t mind being friends with either of them in real life – but I digress. I wonder if Bob Dylan saw the eclipse, or Pope Francis or Brother Guy Consolmagno, who is the official astrono-mer at the Vatican. I heard a very interesting interview with Brother Consolmagno on CBC Radio a while ago. He stated he saw no conflict between science and reli-gion, which I thought was pretty interesting. I would like to meet Brother Consol-magno, or at least sit in on one of his talks. One thing for sure, I wouldn’t mind be-ing the proverbial fly on the wall listening to a conversa-tion between Pope Francis and Brother Consolmagno,

or the Pope and Bob Dylan for that matter – but again I digress.

From past experience and in preparation for last Sun-day’s eclipse, I made sure to dress warm. As it happened, the evening was fairly cool. I wore my polypropylene long johns with another pair of wool Stanfield’s over top. I also got to wear a new jack-et (that was given to me re-cently as a present) that has built in heater strips that run off a rechargeable battery. As I sat there in the comfort of an Adirondack chair in my front yard, peering up at the moon, I was both warm and content. Perhaps it was be-cause I was tired from hav-ing driven all day returning from the East Kootenays, or perhaps it was because my mind tends to wander a bit at the best of times, but I know that I enjoyed the beginning of the eclipse, as well as the latter stages.

Somewhere in the middle I fell asleep.

It was, to say the least, an interesting experience waking up outside with the moon shrouded in an eerie blood red.

Sunday’s full moon was also unique in a number of other ways. It was what is referred to as a ‘super moon,’ which means that it was the largest and closest (a scant 356,877 kilometres away from Earth) full moon of 2015. It was also what is commonly referred to as a ‘harvest moon,’ which re-fers to the fact that it is the full moon occurring closest to the autumnal equinox. The next time a total lunar eclipse will coincide with a harvest moon will be on Sept. 7, 2025.

For those with an inter-est in astronomy, there are a number of other events that will occur next month. Four planets – Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter – will be visible with to naked eye converging and passing each other in the eastern skies during the hours just before sunrise. I’m not sure if I will be getting up early to see four specs in the sky, but I do look forward to the next total lunar eclipse which will take place on January 20, 2019. Maybe I’ll be able to stay awake the whole time for that one.

OPINION

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

James Murray

Catching most of the blood moon

Every politician and would-be MP or MLA knows, or at least they should, that polling numbers don’t translate into seats.

Polling figures from Nanos Research released this week show the governing Conservatives, Opposition NDP and the Liberals in a virtual dead heat among decided voters, with support ranging between 29 and 31 per cent. But even if that was the last poll conducted before election day, it wouldn’t necessar-ily mean Parliament would split exactly down those lines.

There is always a huge glut of people who are undecided up until the late stages of a campaign – some estimates put it as high as 25 per cent. In a close election race, the number of people who make up their mind just before heading to the polling station is likely far more than politicians or parties would care to see. It would be interesting to know how many people use polling figures to help them cast their vote.

Unfortunately, releasing polling data has become a public relations ploy, especially with all the parties commissioning their own polls at various times.

One firm hired by the NDP came back with numbers last week that said Liberal leader Justin Trudeau was trailing an opponent by 11 points in his own riding. A poll conducted for a national media company with a far larger sample size and different methodology found Trudeau to actually be leading by five points.

Political parties hire pollsters to come up with numbers they feel will help them. Without a doubt, if the numbers don’t flatter them, they don’t publicize them. While stats heads might find the pre-election numbers interesting, the only ones that count are on election day.

So what do we take from this? Voters can do their homework on local candidates and leave the polls for the parties to play around with.

Election polling a numbers game

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW,

Salmon Arm, B.C.

After over ten years of research and writing, my book Everything Shuswap goes into production this week. I had always thought that sourcing the imag-es needed to showcase Shuswap’s amazing geography would be easy compared to the efforts required to pro-duce the text, however while many Shuswap photographers were keen to support the project, many of the needed photos were not available. Conse-quently I took advan-tage of some clear days in September to travel around the watershed taking photos and in doing so; my apprecia-tion for our region’s di-versity was reinforced and more knowledge was gained.

One tour was into Shuswap’s cowboy country with John Viv-ian as my guide. At Westwold, first known as Grande Prairie, we drove across the val-ley on private land and hiked to the beginning of the hills to view the small cairn built in 1958 from the fireplace stones that came from the Shuswap’s first Eu-ropean dwelling, a sup-ply cabin along the Bri-gade Trail. The plaque on the cairn put there by the Westwold Wom-en’s Institute, estimates

that the cabin was built sometime between 1811 and 1820. Given that the cairn is located on the north side of the valley next to a spring, it is likely that the trail was located there, rath-er than where the high-way is now.

We then drove to the boundary between the Shuswap and the Nic-ola regions in Doug-las Lake Cattle Ranch country. There are vast grasslands with small lakes and few trees. This is where a peace treaty, known as the Fish Lake Accord was signed between the Sylix people of the Up-per Nicola Band and Tk’emlups people of the Secwepemc Na-tion. There is also a small Upper Nicola Band reserve here ad-jacent to Salmon Lake.

On the way up to the upper Salmon River, we stopped and hiked into Weyman Falls, which had a surprising amount of water con-sidering this year’s dry summer. On our return, we drove through the plateau country, which resembles the Cariboo region with its many small natural meadows and lakes. As we began the descent to the val-ley we stopped to catch the view of Westwold from the hills to the south, which made the Grande Prairie look not so grand after all.

It was another day and another complete-ly different ecosystem, when my wife Kathi and I drove from Three Valley Gap to Mabel Lake and on to Lumby. Our first stop was the campground at Frog Falls, where we hiked in to view the falls from the bottom and

the top. Interestingly, we found out why there are power poles along this stretch of logging road, as there is an old power generating sta-tion at the falls that supplies electricity to the resort at Three Val-ley Gap. Also impres-sive along the route were the many ancient giant cedar stumps, with notches cut for the springboards used to support the fallers with their crosscut saws.

Frog Creek was re-named Wap Creek, a short form of Shuswap used by early settlers, in 1932. After driv-ing into an overgrown road to the creek, we encountered a young couple who often camp there and walk the creek. They explained how they discovered many artifacts from the logging railway that ran parallel to the creek many years ago. After some research, I found out that this rail-way was built in 1907 to supply timber to the mill at Three Valley Gap and was removed after the valley was logged and the mill burned down.

We also drove into a campground in Wap Creek Provincial Park that includes an old log trapper’s cabin

that is open for use by the public. The views of the valley along the creek were outstanding here and at the mouth of the creek where it enters Mabel Lake. In addition to the Cot-tonwood Bay camp-ground at Mabel Lake, we came across other camping sites along the lake where we hope to return one day and pitch a tent.

A highlight was finding the short trail to another impressive waterfall, Cascade Falls that spreads out widely on the approxi-mately 30-metre high cliff face. Close by is a beautiful campground on the lake.

Meet Bart. He’s a social guy, looking for a new home where he will get lots of cuddles and walks. Bart loves getting out and about. He would make a great friend for someone who likes to be outdoors puttering about. He loves to run around the yard. Bart has lived with children so could suit a family but because he’s getting older they should be children that respect his space and quiet times. Barkley has the start of some stiffness in his back legs on occasion so he’s not up for mountain climbing or marathons any more, although he still likes to be fairly active. His ideal life would be daily walks, hanging out in the yard with the family and a warm bed for naps whenever the mood takes him.

This month I will summarize progress made on various proj-ects in Area C as fol-lows:

• Good neighbour bylaw – Staff have been directed by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District board to draft a “good neigh-bour” bylaw including Area C.

It’s recognized there is a need to have a tool to address complaints about noise or unsight-ly premises.

Staff will be examin-ing best practices from across B.C. to help in-form the Board.

• Roads – A high proportion of calls I receive have to do with roads in our area, and while the CSRD does not have any re-sponsibility for roads, good progress has been made.

Drainage issues in

Sunnybrook Estates are going to be ad-dressed. The province has committed to im-plementing mitigative efforts in the McIntyre Creek area.

A citizens’ commit-tee in Sunnybrae has met with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) to discuss improve-ments to the Sun-nybrae-Canoe Point Road/Highway 1 inter-section and achieved progress.

In response to a re-quest from JPW, the company that main-tains our roads, a number of community associations have pro-vided speci� c site in-puts for improvements.

I provided MoTI with a list of problem road areas across Area C and a number of these items are being addressed, including a speed zone review along Blind Bay Road.

• Governance review – With the help of com-munity associations and the South Shus-wap Chamber of Com-merce, a Governance Review Committee has been formed, and will be given the responsi-bility of making a rec-ommendation on this

issue to the Ministry of Community, Sport & Cultural Development.

A substantial pro-cess of public engage-ment and consultation will help to inform this committee over the next year.

• Sewers – We ex-pect to have an updated report and recommen-dations provided to us this fall from our engi-neering � rm. It’s hoped that we will be in a position to apply for infrastructure grants in 2016.

• Community halls – Through the provi-sion of Gas Tax funds and grants-in-aid, a number of community halls in Area C are un-dergoing repairs and/or upgrades including Carlin Hall, Sorrento Memorial Hall, Sunny-brae Community Hall and Notch Hill Com-munity Hall.

• Blind Bay Lighting – The � ve service areas have been merged into one, so all residents in the area will be paying the same rate for the street lights.

We are looking to expand the service area for street lighting to include the Blind Bay Road/Eagle Bay Road and Eagle Bay Road/Harbour Road inter-sections.

If you would like to suggest topics for future articles, or par-ticipate in our com-munity advisory panel surveys, please contact me at [email protected].

On Thursday, May 21, Ian Bos embarked on a cross-country walk in memory of his late father, Ted Bos to raise awareness and funds for hospice palliative care societies across Canada, the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA) and the provincial palliative care associations.

“The Aberdeen Palliative Care Society [in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia] gave us con� dence and support we needed as a family to care for him while also giving him the ability to maintain his independence,” says Bos.

The CHPCA states that hospice palliative care programs allow patients to gain more control over their lives, manage pain and symptoms more effectively and they provide support to family caregivers.

Shuswap Hospice Society will be hosting Ian on Oct. 12 at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort which will be open to the public from 2-4pm. Donations for admission will be greatly appreciated. Check our website www.shuswaphospice.ca or our Facebook page to learn more.

Friends are calling on friends on behalf of a friend.

Everyone over the age of 19 is invited to attend Friends Help-ing Friends 2 – a benefit dinner and dance for Sherrie Favell on Saturday, Oct. 10.

In early June, Favell was giv-en the devastating news that she has recurring ovarian cancer.

Eight years ago, the longtime community booster had surgery and chemo to battle her initial round of stage 3 cancer.

This time she was told it had metastasized and she was diag-nosed as having stage 4.

Favell has taken on this battle in her usual warrior style and has been working full-time at McGuire Lake Lodge up until

now. But, while she loves her job and is worried she will be-come depressed if she doesn’t have it to look forward to every day, the effects of three chemo sessions, with another one this week, are taking their toll.

Favell gets teary when she talks about the number of friends who are working hard to put on a dinner dance on her behalf.

“I can’t believe they’re all coming together and helping me when I am down and out like this. I am a giver, not a tak-er,” she says, expressing heart-felt gratitude at the number of prayers and well wishes people are sending her way.

“I just can’t believe how

Salmon Arm comes together; this town is amazing for fund-raising.”

The Friends Helping Friends 2 Benefit Dinner and Dance takes place from 4 p.m. to mid-night, Saturday, Oct. 10 at the Seniors’ Fifth Avenue Activity Centre and features live musical entertainment, buffet style din-ner with beef on a bun, salads and desserts, a great silent auc-tion and door prizes.

Dancing to great tunes spun by local radio personality Pat-rick Ryley will follow.

All proceeds go to support Favell. Tickets can be purchase at 140 Harbourfront Dr., or call Liz at 250-833-1103 or Penny Favell at 250-253-0574.

The Shuswap District Retired Teachers Associa-tion will host an all-candidates forum at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8 at the Seniors Fifth Avenue Ac-tivity Centre.

Written questions will be solicited from the au-dience to augment those from the association’s panel.

The forum has been scheduled as late as is prac-tical in this election cycle in order to properly ad-dress late-breaking issues in the campaign, notes a Sept. 14 press release.

For more information, contact Larry Calvert at 250-675-5395.

Sicamous will have a forum on Oct. 5 at the Rec Centre from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Ghosts and gob-lins will have to look for other Halloween haunts this year.

There will be no Spooktacular at R.J. Haney Heritage Vil-lage & Museum.

The board of direc-tors is instead planning a community celebra-tion for Canada’s 150th birthday on Canada Day 2017.

“This is a legacy project and we need to complete it on time and within budget,” says board president Norma Harisch. “With this fo-cus in mind, the board made the difficult deci-sion to cancel the pop-ular annual Spooktacu-lar event for this year, but I am sure we will be back stronger than ever next year.”

Canada Day 2017 plans revolve around the grand opening of the Montebello Block – a new museum, ar-chives and nine diora-mas, all housed in a multipurpose building at the village.

The Montebello Project is the City of Salmon Arm’s desig-nated cornerstone in-frastructure project for 2017, notes a Sept. 25 press release.

Bill Laird, honorary chair of the Heritage Village’s Fund Devel-opment Committee, said that thanks to city support, the committee is moving full-steam ahead on a campaign to raise donations and pledges.

There has been more than $700,000 in local

commitments to date for the $1.4 million dollar project.

The name Monte-bello Block is taken from a local historic landmark, the Monte-bello Hotel. Built in 1908, the upscale hotel had indoor plumbing, a bar and pool tables, and stood at the corner of Hudson and Alex-ander. It remained an

iconic part of down-town Salmon Arm un-til it was consumed by fire in 1967, tragically claiming two lives, de-stroying several other businesses, and chang-ing the community landscape forever.

“The board believes that staff and volun-teers will need to fo-cus on the Montebello Block project during

this fall and winter to ensure that construc-tion can start no later than the spring of 2016,” reads the press release.

For more informa-tion about the Mon-tebello Block, how to make a donation or pledge to the project, or to volunteer, contact the village at 250-832-5243.

A splash of colour■ Jazmyn McMyn, right, and Stef Harder participate in a yarn dyeing class at Thread and Paper on Sunday, Sept. 20.


The BC Conser-vation Of� ce is in-vestigating a pos-sible attempt at moose poaching.

Conservation of� cer Mike Richardson says his of� ce received a report of a moose be-ing shot early Monday morning, Sept. 21. He said two shots were heard and a thee-point bull moose was found dead in a ditch on the Owlhead forest service road.

“I don’t have any suspects at the mo-ment, I’ve had a few

calls coming in regard-ing a vehicle that was possibly seen in the area of the moose,” said Richardson. “It was a grey Ford pickup with two older men in the vehicle.”

Richardson said he’s heard rumours that there may have been other moose taken, but nothing has been con-� rmed.

The matter remains under investigation, and anyone with infor-mation that might be of assistance is encour-aged to call the RAPP

(Report all Polluters and Poachers) line at 1-877-952-7277.

Bear complaintThe Salmon Arm

RCMP responded to a complaint of a 150-pound black bear that was in the carport of a Notch Hill resi-dence over the week-end.

Staff Sgt. Scott West said the resident did the right thing by calling the BC Conservation Service and the RCMP and going safely inside

the home while the bear was around.

In consultation with the Conservation Ser-vice, the decision was made to try and scare the bear off.

West reports the bear was successfully frightened off into a wooded area and po-lice have no further re-ports of any problems with the bear in the area.

TEAM FUNDRAISING EVENTS

On Sept. 14, a Chase resident reported that sometime over the Sept. 12 weekend, someone went into his unlocked garage and stole a Toro leaf blow-er, red and black in colour, valued at $250. There were no witness-es. Police request any-one with knowledge of this crime to call Chase RCMP at 250-679-3221 or Crimestop-pers.

Bike swipedOn Sept. 13, a tourist

reported to that he had parked his RV at the Safety Mart parking lot overnight, and awoke to find his mountain bike had been stolen from outside the ve-hicle.

The bicycle is a 14-speed, full suspen-sion Santana Cruise, grey-green in colour with a tan leather pouch on the handle-bars. The bike is valued at about $4,000. There were no witnesses and police request anyone

with knowledge of this crime to call Chase RCMP at 250-679-3221 or Crimestop-pers.

Noisy partyOn Sept. 15, Chase

RCMP received a noise complaint from a multi-unit residence on Golf Course Road in Anglemont. The loud music and partying has been an ongoing prob-lem with one particular resident at that loca-tion. Police have noti-fied the owner and, de-spite the lack of a noise bylaw for the area, it is possible that a mis-chief charge could be laid under the Criminal Code should circum-stances warrant.

Police remind all property owners that their neighbours also have a right to peace-able enjoyment of their property, and to be re-spectful of others in a high-density residen-tial situation.

Propane pilfered

On Sept. 14, Chase RCMP received a re-port of five propane cylinders having been stolen from the Race Trac gas station in

Squilax. Surveillance video showed that at 4:45 a.m., a dark-co-loured, recent model Dodge crew-cab pick-up with a canopy ap-proached the gas sta-tion and then left. The truck re-appeared, and parked near the pro-pane cylinder cage. The driver of the truck then got out and cut the cage lock with bolt cutters and placed the cylinders in the truck. A trace of the licence plate showed the truck had been stolen out of Kamloops. The perpe-trator appeared to be Caucasian, with a thin build, wearing a dark, heavy-hooded coat,

black shoes, blue jeans and a ball cap. If any-one has information concerning this break, enter and theft, please call Chase RCMP at 250-679-3221 or Crimestoppers.

DitchedOn Sept. 19, at about

9:45 p.m., officers re-sponded to a motor-vehicle incident at Highway 97 near Duck Range Rd. in Monte Lake. Police found a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire that had gone off the road and was lying in the ditch. The 25-year-old driver stated she had lost control in a curve due to wet road

conditions. There were no injuries and the car was towed.

DUIOn Sept. 19, at about 1 a.m., Chase RCMP re-ceived an anonymous impaired driving com-plaint. Police stopped the suspect vehicle, a Dodge Dakota on the Trans-Canada High-way. The driver exhibited signs of impairment and, after providing a breath sample which showed he had been drinking alcohol, was issued a 90-day Imme-diate Roadside Prohi-bition. The vehicle was impounded.

ChasePolice respond to theft reports

September hot month for HeatSo the tale of Sep-

tember is that your Chase Heat finished with a four-win, two-loss record. They did it by beating the best of the best in the KIJHL!

Heat Family Week-end was of special note, as the annual golf tournament was book-ended by the two teams that fought during the finals in last season’s playoffs for the KIJHL championship. Not one of the games in the past month were against a foe the Heat could take a night off for.

Friday, Sept. 25 saw the KIJHL league champion Kimberley Dynamiters travel to our lakeside communi-ty for an epic battle that went into overtime. In the first, no scoring but stellar goaltending at both ends of the rink. In the second, Chase was first on the board with a marker from Tra-vis Beaubien, assisted by Spencer Farstad and Pat Brady. The KIJHL leading scorer from the Kaboom crew got that

one back with 20 sec-onds left in the period.

Once again, stel-lar goaltending in the third.

Off to overtime and with the Heat on the power play, Michael Fidanza from Alexan-der Durbeniuk and Lo-gan Mostat sent the lo-cal crowd home happy.

The Heat success-fully killed all seven power-play oppor-tunities against the league’s top scorers, and Nic Bruyere went

the distance in net for the victory.

Sunday afternoon saw a matinee matchup versus our neighbours the Kamloops Storm. Art Holding Memo-rial Arena saw fans on the edges of their seats as these two teams are arch rivals. In the first, Mostat got things start-ed, assisted by Tommy Brown and Kolten Moore. Kamloops popped in a short-handed goal to end the period and then took

the lead less then thee minutes into the sec-ond. The Heat then got that one back to notch things up at two by Braden Hughes, aided by Zachary Fournier.

In the third, more stellar tending by Bruyere and his coun-terpart at the other end. In the second overtime period, the shot of the game came off the stick of Spencer Farstad, un-assisted for two huge points for the home-side.

In this contest, the Heat successfully killed all 10 extra-man opportunities for the visitors. Bruyere faced 72 shots in the two games allowing only three goals!

Hot Topics: The fifth annual golf tournament at Sunshore was a suc-cess as families, friends and fans rubbed el-bows and told tall tales alongside the players.

The stunning third jerseys were unveiled on Sunday versus the Storm. Black with co-lourful trim and a new-look logo on the chest. It made the fans discuss fashion at a hockey contest.

Next up on Friday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. are the cowboys from the Cariboo, the 100 Mile House Wranglers. Sat-urday, the boys are at MacArthur Island in the ’Loops to face the Storm and Sun-day back at home at 2 p.m. versus the Golden Rockets.

Thanks go out to our loyal fan base that does a great job of encourag-ing the players towards success.

n Chase Heat goalie Nic Bruyere prepares to make the blocker save while Heat captain, Trevor Okino makes sure not to allow Kamloops Storm forward Dante Raposo any chance at a rebound on the open side on the net.

It was a quiet Summer for us this year, as expected, and being run off our feet busy is much more “up our alley”…sorry for the pun. We will give a few adults a little bit of credit this week, starting with Alec Deneault! Congratulations to Alec, who rolled a 358 game on Wednes-day night, and is sitting pretty on the men’s high average board in second place! Alec’s Tuesday night teammate, Sheryl Penttila, had a great night this past week, totalling a 601 for her three game total! Finally, one of our newest bowlers to Village Lanes, Megan Kennedy, totalled a 592 on Friday night. Not too shabby for her � rst year of league bowl-ing! Way to go Megan! The real story of the week is centered around our Youth Bowlers! Let me just brag about how amazing these kids are. I can honestly say that we have some of the most respectful, fun, and just all around great kids bowling with us this year! These kids even gave up their cellphones at league this past Wednesday! THANK YOU GUYS! Each year, the youth bowlers sell chocolates to help fundraise for certain tour-naments and events, and already, we have a bowler that is on her � fth case of chocolates! IN 3 DAYS! Super impressive. If you see these kids selling chocolates, PLEASE, sup-port them! Not only are attitudes improving in our Youth Leagues, but so is the bowling! A huge congratulations to Nick Leduc, on his amazing 269 game from this past week! Nick, you’re making it hard for us all to keep up. Proud of you! Have a fantastic weekend everyone! Cheers!

Anything Is Possible

The Shuswap Trail Alliance (STA) received fi-nancial support and kudos from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District at the Sept. 17 board meeting in Salmon Arm.

Directors unanimously approved $40,000 per year from the parks budget for a four year term in operational funding, plus an annual provincial con-sumer price index increase to a maximum of two per cent annually.

CSRD has been involved in a three-year pilot project with the alliance at the $40,000 level that expires Dec. 31.

“The STA has excelled in creating partnerships with volunteer groups and organizations and has collaborated extensively with First Nations, build-ing strong relationships to foster trail develop-ment,” wrote Community Services team leader Ryan Nitchie in his report. “The STA has also built a strong contingent of volunteers and stewards whose efforts and in-kind contributions to our trail maintenance and development is invaluable.”

Thanking Trail Alliance co-ordinator Phil Mc-Intyre Paul, who was in the gallery, Salmon Arm director Chad Eliason said the organization has done many more intangible things for Salmon Arm and CSRD in terms of the government relations, setting of standards for the province and communi-ty and First Nations relations – “all the work he has done to make us look good and bring the province together.” But Eliason noted he supported the four-year contract, noting that it would while he wanted the work to continue, it gives the next board the op-portunity to continue or withdraw support.

“As the second largest contributor in the region, I am happy with what is being done,” said Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan.

Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper said the ben-efits have extended beyond trail building and main-tenance.

“It has resulted in a number of events being held here and now we have the Healthy Communities initiative,” she said. “I do believe Salmon Arm is better for all the work that has been done.”

Area E Rural Sicamous director and board chair Rhona Martin echoed the praise delivered by other directors.

“I am grateful for your ability to share your knowledge when we are negotiating our way through some tricky things,” she said. “At the end of the day, we have healthier people and people are coming to spend their dollars here.”

Glider guiden Air cadets from the Shuswap, Vernon and Kamloops squadrons take turns learning and helping their fellow pilots during glider take off and landing at the Salmon Arm Airport on Sunday.

Keep an eye on your child’s vision health

WellnessYour Health &

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

(NC) Vision plays a crucial role in your child’s learning and development at school, socially and in play, starting from a very young age. “In their first years of school, children are like sponges, absorbing information, and constantly using their eyes to learn,” says Neil Campbell, a doctor of optometry. “However, sometimes it’s not obvious that they might be hitting a visual roadblock.”

While it is impossible to know if a child’s vision is developing normally until a proper eye exam is conducted, there are signs of potential problems that parents can watch for:

• Headaches• Comments from your

child’s teacher about a

short attention span• Avoidance of near or distance work• Covering or rubbing of the eyes• Tilting of the head or unusual

posture• Using a finger to maintain place

while reading

• Covering or closing one eye• Difficulty playing sports• Omitting or confusing words when

reading• Holding objects too close• Avoiding books and the television

Children’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play, but since many vision issues are symptomless – and children assume everyone sees the way they do – booking an eye exam is the best way for parents to be sure that their children’s eyes are healthy.

How to choose glasses for kids(NC) Finding out your child needs

glasses can be a difficult experience. Some parents might feel sad that their child’s eyesight is not perfect. Others may worry about how their child will adapt to this change in their life. Christine Misener, a doctor of optometry, has helped many parents encourage their children to wear their glasses and ensure that they’re comfortable.

Dr. Misener recommends the following tips to help your child adapt to their new glasses:

• Let your child pick the frame style and colour – while they still need to be properly fitted by an optometrist, make sure they’re happy with their choice and are excited to put them on.

• Buy them a book to help them

accept the idea of wearing glasses, like:

• Arlo Needs Glasses by Barney Saltzberg,

• What Can Pinky See? By Lucy Cousins, and

• Pearl and Wagner: Four Eyes by Kate McMullan.

• Inform your child’s teacher when their glasses should be worn in school.

• Share photos and stories of some of their favourite characters who wear glasses, such as Arthur, Superman’s Clark Kent, Harry Potter, Spongebob Squarepants and Spiderman’s Peter Parker.n

Visit your local doctor of optometry to ensure your child’s glasses are properly fitted and customized to their face shape. It may take some time for your child to adapt to this new part of their life, but it will make all the difference in their learning and development. If you don’t have an optometrist, visit doctorsofoptometry.ca to find one near you.

The thought of re-turning to work while continuing to breastfeed can feel overwhelming. In the past, many moms felt it was easier to stop breastfeeding once back at work but that’s start-ing to change. Women are finding ways to combine breastfeeding and working with the support of their em-ployer and child care provider.

When I first went back to work after my babies were born, I was fortunate to have a lunch break that gave me enough time to breastfeed at their nearby daycare. I appre-

ciated this chance to re-connect with my baby in the middle of the day and it made it easier to return to work full time.

Here are a few sug-gestions to help you continue breastfeeding after returning to work.

Don’t be afraid to discuss your needs with your employer. Your workplace is required to support your breast-feeding under the Hu-man Rights Code. An employer can give you a more flexible sched-ule or extend breaks to allow time to nurse, pump milk, or visit and breastfeed your baby.

Your employer ben-efits by gaining a happi-er, more loyal and more productive employee. As a bonus, your baby will likely be sick less often which can mean

fewer days missed at work.

Choose a child-care provider that is support-ive of breastfeeding. Let them know how important breastfeeding is to you and your baby and discuss your baby’s feeding routines. Make sure they can safely prepare and store your expressed breast milk. Having these conversa-tions before you start back to work will make the transition go more smoothly.

Nearby child care ar-rangements can make breastfeeding during work hours easier. Us-ing an onsite day care or child care near the

workplace is ideal for moms to maintain breastfeeding. Some moms have been able to arrange for their child care provider to bring their baby to them at work so they can breast-feed.

If breastfeeding dur-ing work hours isn’t easy to arrange, you can express some breast milk. Ask your friends or members of a local breastfeeding café for their tips on pumping at work. Your employer can help by providing a private office with a sink, an electrical out-let to pump milk and a place to store pumped milk.

Health Canada and Interior Health recom-mend breastfeeding for two years and beyond. Stopping breastfeeding because of work before you and baby are ready can add extra stress to an already challenging time. Breastfeeding is reassuring to your tod-dler and you’ll benefit from the relaxing hor-mones released when you nurse.

Independent shops contribute to the fabric of a community and what makes it special and unique. Tourists and other visitors will be much more inclined to remember a local shop rather than a big chain in a particular neighborhood. When travelers want to get a feel for a community, they seek out small, local stores that are much more likely to stock a high percentage of locally-sourced goods

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SierraSil® is a highly effective natural mineral complex clinically proven to support joint health and mobility.

The healing quality of SierraSil was discovered by a gold prospector in the Sierras, then developed under the stewardship of the Bentley family.

The pure, natural mineral complex had its origins in volcanic rock that was geothermally altered about 10 million years ago.

The unique mineralogy can’t be recreated in a lab. SierraSil has been rigorously tested, including double blind, placebo controlled trials for safety and efficacy. The clinical studies show that SierraSil consistently provides relief from chronic aches and stiffness, as well as cleansing the body of toxins. When taken daily as recommended, SierraSil will noticeably reduce joint and muscle pain and stiffness, enabling you to be your best, every day. Simply natural minerals, SierraSil is compatible with almost any diet such as vegetarian, vegan or celiac.

Natural joint pain relief from the Sierra Mountains

Michael Bentley Discovers The Mountain of Youth

Back in 2003, my wife Lesley reminded me the Sun Run was just 10 days away. Which meant I had two problems.

One; I hadn’t run for a few years due to knee pain. Two; at just 40 years, I didn’t want to admit that I couldn’t run 10 km! So I thought just practice, I can do it. But that evening, on a treadmill, my knees said ‘no-way’. So I started using the mysterious mineral from the Sierras.

Long story short, I started on SierraSil and yes, finished the 10km run!

For me, SierraSil has become my Mountain of Youth and I feel fitter and more active than at any time since high school. I’m able to enjoy my favourite sports and hiking with Lesley in beautiful places from Yoho to Yosemite (and as pictured, Palm Desert).

Please join me in enjoying the best health of our lives!
