Columbia Shuswap Regional District chair David Raven will wait for legal advice and other informa-tion before deciding if he will allow a failed devel-opment proposal to return to the board for recon-sideration.

Raven was reacting to demands by a group of about 40 individuals who expressed their anger at the denial of a Blind Bay development by protesting in front of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District office Monday morning.

The protesters, some carrying placards, were up-set at the defeat of a proposal by Dan Baskill to de-velop Blind Bay Resort and asked directors to hold an extraordinary meeting to reconsider the vote. But that request poses a problem for the regional dis-trict, one that requires the consultation of lawyers.

Baskill’s proposal was defeated by a three-three tie vote at the Jan. 16 board meeting, a tie Raven was unable to break because he is a municipal direc-tor and not entitled to a vote in the matter of devel-opment in electoral areas.

Monday’s protesters shared the same concerns as a small group of Baskill supporters who expressed their outrage following the vote at the board meet-ing. They object to the ability of directors who live far away from a development to defeat a project that has been strongly supported by the area director and some local residents. They also complained that di-rectors were misinformed and the defeat will prove costly to the South Shuswap economy.

Directors opposed to giving the proposal third reading were Area E Rural Sicamous Rhona Mar-tin, Area B Rural Revelstoke Loni Parker and

Their concerns cen-tred primarily around the dock proposal, which would see the number of boat slips increase to 70 from the current 55, the pos-sibility of Baskill or a future owner adding a fuelling station and the likelihood of attracting houseboats.

Several protest-ers said Monday that houseboats are not per-mitted to enter the bay.

While Baskill says he has always been op-posed to adding fuel sales, it is not written into the bylaw direc-tors were being asked to approve. And while some directors asked if a covenant could be set up to cover the matter, it would require amend-ing the bylaw.

But amendment of bylaws is not permitted at third reading because they come before the

board for consideration after the public hearing has taken place and no further information is permitted.

Invited into the warmth of the CSRD board room Monday, Baskill supporters made impassioned pleas for reconsideration of the vote.

Karen Brown, gener-al manager of the newly resurrected South Shus-wap Chamber of Com-merce, expressed grave concern for the area’s economic future.

“It’s a hard go out there; it’s scary to have your future in the hands of people so far away,” she said, picking up on a comment about South Shuswap hav-ing the highest popula-tion of any of CSRD’s electoral areas yet al-lowed only one vote at the board table. “It’s a wrong that needs to be righted. For our tax dol-lars, we don’t think our voices are being heard.”

Brown says two large companies that contem-

plated setting up in the South Shuswap had been waiting for the board decision.

“When they heard the decision last Thurs-day, they decided to set their roots in the South Okanagan which is more friendly to busi-

ness,” she said.CSRD chief admin-

istrative officer Charles Hamilton assured pro-testers their voices were being heard, but explained the ramifica-tions of reconsidering the vote are complicat-ed and require prudence and legal advice.

“The most trouble-some issue is the infor-mation that has been

circulating over the weekend,” he said Tues-day, referring to the flur-ry of emails and letters circulated by a number of protesters.

Hamilton said part of the equation will be a legal determination of whether some of the information contained in the emails and letters is new or a rehash of the public hearing in early December. The possi-bility of another public hearing and who would assume the costs are part of the review

As to a request for an extraordinary meeting to be held prior to the Feb. 20 regular board meeting, Hamilton said that would be up to the board chair.

The situation will re-main unresolved until Hamilton has gathered all the information, le-gal and otherwise, to present to the chair for consideration.

“It was not 100 per cent unanimous at the hearing and we have to stay within legal

grounds as we proceed,” said Raven, acknowl-edging that Martin had contacted him during the weekend about the possibility of bringing Baskill’s proposal back to the board without an-other public hearing.

Martin did not re-spond to requests by the Market News prior to deadline.

Diagnosed with severe deterioration in both of my hip joints, I needed a full double hip replacement. The new hips were remarkably pain free right from the first day I stood on them. My surgery had an immediate impact on my life. Things that I wasn’t able to do for 30 years – like simply cross a leg over, or kneel to hug grandchildren were suddenly possible.

Lights out on Seymour Arm electrification programSeymour Arm will continue

to be unplugged for the fore-seeable future as BC Hydro has pulled the plug on all ru-ral electrification projects that were in the planning stage.

“We thought we were suf-ficiently far enough along in the planning process that they would elect to proceed with the program now,” said CSRD chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton. “It was a bit disheartening for the com-munity, staff and ourselves;

we went so far as to hold a ref-erendum and got elector con-sent to borrow approximately 3.5 million, which was the community’s portion of the initiative.”

In a Sept. 28 referendum, 109 residents voted in favour of paying up to $600 per year for electrification, while only 49 people were opposed.

It had taken three years of work by a community com-mittee, Columbia Shuswap Regional District and BC

Hydro staff to get to that stage.Hamilton says he remains

hopeful the often-contentious project will be resurrected sometime in the near future.

While it won’t be soon, Da-vid Lebeter, VP Field Opera-tions for BC Hydro, says the project is not “off the map.”

He says the decision to halt all projects currently in the planning stage of the Rural Community Electrification Program was part of a budget-reduction approach to manage

hydro rate increases with the least pain to the fewest people.

He says the fairest thing seemed to be to just put the rural program on hold for the time being.

Two projects in the imple-mentation stage will continue and hydro will look at plans for fiscal 2016 at the end of this year, said Lebeter, noting the decision to pull the plug on the rural program was diffi-cult. “We would first approach people we’ve put on hold.”

Remember to recycle your newspaper.


It has begun.Booking for one of

Salmon Arm’s most hotly anticipated music events is already un-derway.

Describing it as the many shades of blues, Roots and Blues Fes-tival organizers intro-duce the first three of what they’re calling a stellar lineup for the 22nd annual event that runs Aug. 15 to 17.

Generating major buzz on radio lately, 2014 Maple Blues Award nominee (Best Acoustic Act) Little Miss Higgins struts and serenades her way, guitar in hand, lips bla-zoned red, onto any stage.

As if she just drove in off the back road of another time with gravel dust and a sun-set trailing behind her, this pocket-sized pow-erhouse plays music brewed up in old-time country blues sprinkled with a little jazz and maybe a hint of folk.

Whether it’s songs

about passion or songs about panties, she writes about real things in a rooted and poetic way.

Also a 2014 Maple Blues Award nominee (Best Electric Act), Bill Durst has long been compared to the best guitar player/singer/entertainers anywhere in the world.

Durst has written and recorded more than 100 songs on 10 albums including seven charted Canadian radio hits.

After the early success of his band Thundermug in North America and Europe, Durst was acclaimed as one of the top song-writers in Canada.

He has opened for Aerosmith, Rush, Bob Seger, The Yardbirds, Sly and The Family Stone, George Thoro-good, Bad Company, Jeff Healey, Edgar Winter Group, The Tubes, David Clayton Thomas, Savoy Brown, Little Feat and has

toured across North America and Europe.

Durst’s newest CD, Hard and Heavy, is garnering critical ac-claim and climbing charts across the coun-try.

Son of a civil rights lawyer and a fiddle player, Doc MacLean was playing harmonica and washboard in cof-feehouses and festivals and appearing on radio and television vari-ety shows by his early teens.

In 1972, he formed a duo with the now leg-endary Colin Linden, and became a frequent and popular opener for Sonny Terry & Brown-ie McGee, Muddy Wa-ters, and John Ham-mond.

After 30-plus years of spreading the Delta-blues gospel, MacLean now appears most of-ten as a solo performer and is equally comfort-able at a folk festival workshop, priming a rowdy blues festi-val crowd, or telling a

story in a hushed the-atre. The real deal, Doc MacLean is a national blues treasure.

“Roots & Blues re-mains one of the pre-miere festivals in B.C. with a reputation for consistently presenting one of the most eclec-tic of festival lineups

in the country,” says marketing manager Scott Crocker, who recommends fans take advantage of early bird member pricing until Feb. 28.

To purchase tickets, visit www.rootsand-blues.ca or call 250-833-6094.

Presenting many shades of blues

n Considered a national treasure, Doc MacLean will spread his Delta blues gospel at this year’s Roots and Blues Festival.

Like most fly fishers, I have managed to acquire a fair number of different fly patterns over the years - some which I use more than others - some I have yet to actually use.

They are all lined up in rows in my fly boxes ac-cording to species, colour and size. I couldn’t really say for sure how many flies I have, but a rough ‘guess-timation’ would be well over a thousand. As to which ones work the best, the simplest answer, I sup-pose, would be the ones that catch fish.

A more insightful answer, however, would be depen-dant on a number of factors such as the type of water I happen to be fishing - lake or stream, whether of not the fish are feeding above or below the surface, the sea-son, the time of day, and the species of fish I’m trying to catch.

Having said that though, there are certain tried and true patterns that I tend to rely on - to get at least a few hits.

Since chironomids are the first insect species to

emerge after ice-off in the spring and, because there are some 2,500 species of chironomids, and, almost as many variations of fly chi-ronomid patterns, I keep a selection of chironomid pu-pae patterns in pale green, black, brown, wine, and red tied on both #14 and #16 size hooks.

In the spring and early summer, many Interior lakes are literally teaming with damsel fly nymphs swimming towards shore. I prefer sparsely tied patterns in light olive green rabbit fur which literally come to life in the water.

As the summer months progress, but, before things get too hot, I know I can al-ways rely on caddis patterns

such as the Tom Thumb and the Tent Wing Caddis, two patterns which consistently draw strikes on the surface, as well as the Green-ribbed Caddis Pupae which simi-larly draws strikes below the surface.

If I could but fish with one pattern it would probably be the Green-ribbed Caddis.

I also have what I call my search patterns. When I am fishing on a lake or stream that I have never fished be-fore, there are certain pat-terns that I use to search for areas where fish might be holding but not necessarily actively feeding. Patterns like the Mohair Leech can be trolled around a lake to seek out fish that are moving about in search of a meal, fish that might just cease the opportunity. Tied in black or dark claret, with a bit of crystal flash throughout the body, the leech is truly irre-sistible to fish.

The Marabou Muddler is another of my search pat-terns. It takes on a different life according to the type of water in which it is fished. Muddlers are equally effec-tive in still-water lakes as

well as fast flowing rivers and streams.

I will sometimes throw a Zug-bug or Prince Nymphs into the holding pools of streams that are new to me. If there are sub-aquatic in-sects rolling and tumbling around in the runs and rif-fles of a stream, these pat-terns seem to entice fish to strike.

Both the Elk-wing Cad-dis and a Hair-wing Wulff can bring even the wariest of fish to the surface - es-pecially fish that are hiding beneath the shadow of an overhanging tree branch or large rock in the middle of a stream.

Then there’s the Doc Spratley which was devel-oped some time back in the 1940’s specifically for BC’s interior lakes and has since proved to be one of the most productive patterns ever de-vised.

I guess the trick to figur-ing out which patterns are most effective is to simply try them out and see what happens. As often as not, it’s often just a matter of which fly pattern works the best on any given day.

Why does B.C. need a grizzly bear hunt?

Why does B.C. need a grizzly bear hunt?We understand the value of guides and outfitters to

local economies, and we are not opposed to hunting per se, but we just don’t understand why someone would want to shoot and kill a grizzly bear.

The B.C. government is currently looking at allow-ing a grizzly bear hunt in two areas of the province it’s not permitted currently, the Kootenays and the Cariboo.

We understand the hunt for deer and elk. Those who eat meat can’t really, in good conscience, speak against hunting while they enjoy a steak off the bar-becue. And First Nations will follow their hunting traditions, which we should not interfere with, seeing as they go back hundreds and thousands of years before any of us immigrants arrived.

But who eats bear? And a grizzly?Our first thought of any bear hunt take us to gall

bladders and their supposed, ahem, medicinal quali-ties. Bears slaughtered and left to rot just for an inter-nal organ or two, or some paws. Not a high point in human activity, to be sure.

Our second thought turns to those from outside our country who pay exorbitant fees to shoot a B.C. griz-zly so they can display it in their den at home in California or England. Seriously, is this still 1850?

Like most issues in B.C., the grizzly hunt has a polarizing effect. Groups parade their own science and economic indicators to support their side of the debate. It’s important to not just heed the words of those who shout the loudest.

At least one group against the hunt is saying live grizzly bears viewed in their natural habitat are a bet-ter tourist draw and better potential economic boost than that provided by those who come here and spend thousands to kill them. Quantifying future economic benefits is akin to nailing Jello to a wall, but we have to say we like the sound of that argu-ment.

Which fly pattern would work best


View pointPinnacle plant issue deserves balance

At a time when we are losing our newspapers and citizens are feeling isolated, it is especially important that we have balanced reporting of the issues that con-cern us.

Had your reporter asked, she would have discovered that, in addition to, apparently, being ill-suited to public life, Mr. Ber-rigan and his comments were ridiculous and did not represent a “heated exchange” at all. They were also made after the meet-ing was adjourned, as we were leaving the room and from the safety of behind his desk.

Unfortunately, the real and important issues that needed air-ing were hijacked by his com-ments and so, we still have in-correct statistics on the level of support for this rezoning being

voiced in the media, no written information supporting the al-legation that the land is unsuit-able for residential use and no written proof that the village’s lawyer has said that it is okay to have anonymous letters, let-ters from outside the village and letters that do not refer to re-zoning, form the basis for their claim of 70 per cent support by the citizens of Chase, when the reverse is closer to the truth.

We support industry in the correct location.

We are not radicals who are “opposed to everything” but, putting a pellet plant adjacent to residential homes is not an opportunity, it is a disaster. The carcinogens and fine wood dust particulate that it would emit would impact our entire valley

and every creature who resides here.

The World Health Organiza-tion says this, the people of Wil-liams Lake who are living with a Pinnacle pellet plant say this, and, if our council did not pre-fer to muzzle and marginalize rather than engage, they would know this, too.

We appreciate your interest in our story but, please, take the time to get it right. I get phone calls from people all the time, expressing their gratitude that someone is voicing their con-cerns and their astonishment at the alleged level of support.

Please, let them know the truth.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District direc-tors approved the de-velopment of parallel trail projects in South Shuswap.

At their Jan. 16 board meeting in Salmon Arm, the board sup-ported allocations from Electoral Area Com-munity Works Funds for survey, design and engineering works for parallel road trail proj-ects in Blind Bay and Sunnybrae to the tune of $44,500.

The board also ap-proved a contract with Dawson Construc-

tion in the amount of $614,197 for the con-struction of phases 1 and 2 of the Blind Bay wider shoulder parallel trail project with 100 per cent of the fund-ing from a Provincial Community Recreation Program Grant.

Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper said the cost was high for only 1.6 kilometres of trail but agreed to support the project because it was fully funded by a grant.

Darcy Mooney, man-ager of the regional dis-trict’s Operations Man-

agement department, explained the trail was being built in difficult terrain and offered to show the mayor project specifications.

“As is evident, we’ve been given grant mon-ey and there is poten-tial for parallel trails in Sunnybrae and Eagle Bay,” he said. “We’ll get the engineering done so we’re shelf- ready when the grant money is available.”

Grants in aidCSRD directors ap-

proved grants for the

following non-profit organizations: Car-lin Elementary Parent Advisory Committee ($5,000) and South Shuswap Chamber of Commerce ($23,435).

Centre get seal of approvalAfter months of

preparation, the Sor-rento Health Care Cen-tre held its grand open-ing, with more than 80 people attending.

The centre has been up and running for more than a month and the office has been busy.

Many of those who turned up at last Fri-day’s grand opening listened to speeches from Columbia Shus-wap Regional District director Paul Deme-nok, Interior Health representative Kirstine Hill, SACA president Barry Stokes and nurse practitioner Judy De-ringer, all of whom spoke about the im-

portance of the clinic to the area.

MLA Greg Kyllo sent a letter to be read out at the event, as he was unable to attend.

The clinic has ex-ceeded Deringer’s expectations, and she remains amazed at the way the community has embraced her and the health-care soci-ety’s goals.

Not only is the group searching for a doctor to come into the area, but they would also like to see specialists such as dietitians, dia-betic specialists, coun-sellors and others who could offer their ser-vices to the area.

With the clinic of-

fering large and func-tional space, and room just across the hall to expand, this is a very real possibility.

The health centre is still relying on dona-tions to help keep the

clinic running, how-ever.

Those who wish to donate to the centre may do so at the Sor-rento Credit Union, or by calling Marilyn Clark at 250-675-2449.

The fascinating Sinmax Creek Valley

There is a well-used shortcut between the Shuswap and the North Thompson that utilizes the recently upgraded logging road above Adams Lake and then turns west at Ag-ate Bay (also known as Squaam Bay) on a paved road that goes to Louis Creek and the Yellowhead Highway just south of Barriere.

This small, narrow ranching valley, where Sinmax Creek � ows from the petite Forest Lake to Adams Lake, is often overlooked as being part of the Shus-wap.

Yet despite its small size, it deserves atten-tion due to its unique history and mineral re-sources.

The valley has likely always been an impor-tant travel corridor be-tween Adams Lake and the North Thompson, and that is why Sinmax Creek was once known as Pass Creek.

It was the showing of minerals that � rst at-tracted attention to this valley. The � rst news of the � nd was published in the July 8, 1893 edi-

tion of the Inland Sen-tinel in an article by John Fremont Smith, a respected prospector, Louis Creek store own-er and later the � rst and likely only black alder-man for the city of Ka-mloops.

Smith had journeyed into the valley where he inspected a ga-lena claim by Hector McLean and Joe Zink just east of a waterfall and he too found a vein of pure galena.

At that time, there were other nearby claims. He also found an old rocker, used for gold panning, that was about 30 years old, which indicated that prospectors had already been in the val-ley during the � rst gold rush.

It was not until the following year after the claim had been sold to new owners that a wag-on road was built and work at the Homestake Mine began in earnest. By the spring, some 600 tons of ore was waiting at Louis Creek to be shipped out by paddlewheeler, how-ever massive � ooding that year swept the ore into North Thompson River, never to be re-covered.

The � rst settler in the valley was G.J. Forrest in 1887, for whom the lake was named after. Others soon followed him and within a de-cade, much of the val-ley had been cleared, with ranches estab-

lished. The soil in the valley is rich, because when the glaciers melt-ed, the outlet of the Adams was blocked with ice for a time and thus the water � owed through the valley to the North Thompson depositing a thick layer of silt.

It was not until the Canadian Northern Railway was com-pleted along the North Thompson River in 1915, that it became practical to ship ore from the valley and mining began in ear-nest.

Two years later, the Kamloops Silver Mines became incor-porated and with sil-ver prices higher, the underground mine was operating at full bore.

Meanwhile, many of the settlers, who were still considered squat-ters, were being threat-ened with expulsion, as the rights to the valley timber was still held by the Adams River Lum-ber Company.

Then in 1919, a mas-sive � re swept through the valley destroying most of the timber and there were rumours that one or more of the disgruntled settlers started it. The � re also destroyed the mine buildings and infra-structure, and the site was abandoned.

The settlers enjoyed a good life in the val-ley, as they bene� ted from both the mine and the lumber company,

which provided jobs and outlets for their produce, cattle and hay. As their families were growing larger, there was a need for a school and they built and paid for the � rst one in 1916 at Squam Bay. When it became too small, it was replaced with a log school in 1918 and the government chipped in $75 towards the construction. When this school became too small, a third one was built and the old log school was moved to where it still stands to-day next to Agate Bay Road and serves as a community centre. The last school was closed in 1964 and was moved to Brennan Creek.

Mineral exploration in the hills north of the valley carried on and in 1989, the Shuswap’s largest mine opened up just below Johnson Lake.

In just four years of operation, the Samato-sum open pit sulphide mine produced over 22-thousand ounces of gold and over 30-mil-lion ounces of silver. However, as with most mines of this type, upon closure, acid rock drainage became a ma-jor problem. After a government pollution abatement order was issued in 1996, proper reclamation efforts be-gan in earnest.

In 2007, the com-pany received a well deserved mine recla-mation award. And it is

likely that their water treatment efforts will carry on for many de-cades to come.

One other notable activity in the valley has been the water-shed restoration work completed in Sinmax Creek, where the loss of riparian vegetation had resulted in signi� -cant erosion and loss of farmland, as well as an associated decline in Coho stocks.

More than $450,000 of restoration funds has been spent under the direction of the Ad-ams Lake Lumber and the Adams Lake Indian Band to stabilize the banks and restore na-tive vegetation, which apparently is still hold-ing up.

Many Other Modalities

Weight loss can be complicatedWe have all been taught the

equation Eat less food + Ex-ercise more = Weight Loss. Unfortunately, no how much we believe it, this just isn’t true. There are a lot more fac-tors involved. What inability to lose weight and keep it off is not, is a willpower problem! What it is, can be any combi-nation of the following:A stress response

Stress makes us fat in many, many different ways. It will preferentially put pounds on around our waistline, the most dangerous place to de-posit fat. It can raise insulin levels, predisposing us to met-abolic syndrome &/or type 2 diabetes. It can remove our pleasure in food. It can ruin our digestion and frequently causes heartburn. One sim-ple trick to help with stress and eating is to slow down. If you are a fast eater, you are eating under stress. Try to take double the time you normally would to eat your meals.A macronutrient imbalance

One of the telltale symp-toms of both a protein defi-ciency and a fat deficiency is an inability to lose weight. Because we have been taught that all fat is bad, there are a lot of people out there who are fat deficient. Fat is an im-portant component of our sex hormones, our brains and every cell wall in our body. It turns out that research shows we actually need some fat in our diet to be able to lose weight. (No, this does not mean you can go out and eat all the bacon you want!) The quality of the fat is what mat-ters. You need good quality fat, not more fast food fat or processed food fat. We also gain weight if we eat too many carbohydrates. There is a lot of controversy over how

many are too many and how the quality of carbohydrates makes a difference. Carbohy-drates can be a whole article by themselves.A circadian rhythm issue

This is a fancy term to say what time you eat your food during the day matters. Study after study has shown that people who eat break-fast either don’t gain as much weight or lose weight easier. Sumo wrestlers eat approxi-mately the same number of calories as top competitive body builders but look very different. Body builders eat small meals all day. Sumo wrestlers eat all their calories for supper and then go to bed. Are you on the Sumo wres-tler diet?Poor qual-ity food

Our bod-ies need us to eat to provide them with certain nutrients, both macro-nutrients and micronutrients, that they need to function. If our bodies don’t get those nutrients, they will continue to tell us that they are hungry and it is really hard not to eat when you are hungry. Poor quality food does not contain a lot of nutrients: vitamins, minerals, quality protein, and healthy fats, so we end up eating a lot more food. The extra food still contains calo-ries so that gets stored as fat. When we eat good quality, nutrient dense food we don’t need as much to satisfy our body’s nutrient needs.Excessive exercise that you hate

We all agree that we under-stand why couch potatoes can be overweight but why

do some people who exercise religiously, for long periods, have problems losing weight? If you are exercising hard enough and hate it enough, you put yourself into a stress response. Stress chemistry increases the amount of cor-tisol and then insulin in your body. Insulin tells your body to store fat, not to burn it. You then have trouble losing weight.Slowed down metabolism from too much dieting

When you restrict calories too much your body thinks you are on a desert island and that you are starving. It im-mediately springs into action to save your life by reducing

your ex-penditure of energy. It becomes more ef-f i c i e n t . It stops b u i l d i n g muscle be-cause that is a very

energy and nutrient demand-ing activity. It slows down fat burning and increases muscle burning for fuel. When you go back to eating normally again, it takes a while for this process to reverse so you con-tinue to store more fat than you did before you went on a diet. The more you diet (re-strict calories), the harder it is to lose weight because of this mechanism.Unresolved emotional issue

Some people may have had an unpleasant experience in their past that they either were too young to deal with or didn’t know how to deal with. Sometimes one of the ways we protect ourselves from these experiences is by putting on weight. The ex-tra weight actually makes us

feel safe even though we may hate ourselves for being over-weight. This can be a com-plex issue that will require professional help.

■There is a wealth of infor-

mation out there telling you how to eat and how to ex-ercise. Every new diet book has “the cure” and a new diet book comes out almost monthly it seems. It is no wonder everyone is confused. What doesn’t get mentioned often is that while differ-ent dietary regimes work for different people initially, between 95% and 99.5% of people (depending on whose research you read) who go on diets will gain back the weight they lose within a year or two. This cannot be classed as a success. We need a sustainable way to lose weight if we wish to im-prove our health. This means learning how to eat differ-ently all the time, not just for a short time. In order to con-tinue to eat in a certain way for the rest of your life, you would have to enjoy it. What diet do you know that you would want to follow for the rest of your life? And yet the way we eat has such a huge influence on our health, it is certainly worth finding a way to eat that we like but that is also good for us. Remember, we are all unique individuals and what worked for your neighbour or your sister-in-law, may not work for you. Finding your ideal way of eating can be an experiment but can also be fascinating and is certainly worthwhile. If you would like some help with your experiment, an ex-cellent book just published is “The Calorie Myth” by Jona-than Bailor.

Okanagan residents can make dreams come true by simply going out for lunch, dinner or a snack.

The 20th annual Wendy’s Dreamlift fundraiser takes place Wednesday, Jan. 29 at Wendy’s restaurants in the region. The pro-ceeds help the Sun-shine Foundation send children with physical disabilities and life-threatening illnesses to Disneyland for a day.

“This is a special year as we celebrate 20 years of support from the people in our com-munities,” said Ken Park, owner of the re-gion’s Wendy’s.

“It is their generos-ity that helps to make

many local children’s Disney dreams come true.”

All net proceeds from Wendy’s Dream-lift Day’s sales, as well as staff, management and owner’s wages, will go towards the next Interior flight to Disneyland.

“There’s a lot of positive energy and en-thusiasm,” said Cathy Sarino, a Sunshine Foundation volunteer.

“The event raises awareness that there are children in our community with spe-cial needs.”

Sarino went on the most recent flight to Disneyland and spent time with a visually impaired child.

“It gave him a sense of confidence because

he was on a big trip away from his par-ents,” she said.

“It’s a monumental step for the parents to see their children have pure joy.”

Wendy’s Dreamlift Day raised $115,000

last year, and Sarino is impressed with the restaurant’s staff giv-ing up their wages for a day.

“That really touches my heart,” she said.

On Wednesday, Wendy’s restaurants

will open at 6 a.m. for Redhead Roaster cof-fee by donation, with the regular menu avail-able at 9 a.m.

Orange County sher-iffs act as chaperones when the children are at Disneyland and rep-

resentatives from the department will be in the Okanagan for Wen-dy’s Dreamlift Day. At the Salmon Arm res-taurant will be Capt. Tim Moy.

“Wendy’s wants them to connect to the

community they are supporting,” said Park.

Local dignitaries, including from the RCMP, the fire depart-ment, sports groups and area politicians will also be helping out behind the scenes.

Regarding the new CSRD office site, when proposals were received for a new CSRD office I knew it would cost in the range of $6 million whether sited on lake-shore property or in the downtown core. I also understood that build-ing on the lakeshore would mean that Salm-on Arm would be losing out on future projected property taxes in the range of what the Pres-tige pays.

My opinion was that a downtown option was preferable as it would bring increased activ-ity and vibrancy to the downtown which

would mitigate loss of property taxes at that site.

In regards to the council meeting in Ca-noe, as mentioned in the paper, the motion before council was the development permit for the proposed CSRD office building. The building plans showed a well-designed struc-ture that met all city regulations. I men-tioned not liking the site at that time. However, this type of permit only pertains to the form and character of the proposed building and therefore was approved.

I received inquiries regarding cost and placement of this pro-posal. As noted, there are large financial ad-vantages to having the CSRD office located in Salmon Arm.

In the past few weeks I communicated via email with senior CSRD staff requesting and receiving informa-

tion to ensure my an-swers to citizens were as concise as possible.

Finally, when the ratification vote for this project was taken I was away so my question is “where was the public process?” Did we ask the public what they thought? When did the public in all areas of the CSRD get a chance to hear, ask questions and talk about why it’s needed? Did they get to see the plans? What about the cost? Did we ask if they want their tax dollars spent on this? I can guarantee any mu-nicipality would con-duct this type of public consultation process for a new administration building. Salmon Arm certainly did when we built the new city hall. So why is it different for the CSRD?

By the way, sending out an information flyer after the fact is not pub-lic process. And that, is my opinion.

Shuswap Sharp Shooters Novice Ringette team maintained their spot at the top of the standings on Sunday, as they defeated Westside on the road by a score of 9-3.

Cadence Petitclerc-Crosby opened the scoring for the Sharp Shooters, just three minutes into the game and her first of three on the night.

Natasha Kociuba ripped a shot past the West-side goaltender just 45 seconds later to put the hometown Shuswap girls up 2-0.

Mackenzie Mount rippled the mesh to put the Sharp Shooters up by three, three minutes later, before Westside got on the board with a single of their own.

The teams would trade goals late in the first pe-riod, Ryann Decker sliding one in for the Shoot-ers, and Brianna Howard would put one in late in the frame to carry Shuswap into the first intermis-sion up by a score of 5-2.

The second period continued much the same as the first, with the visiting Sharp Shooters domi-nating play at both ends of the rink.

Maintaining positioning, with the centres cy-cling the defence so as not to go four-in and supe-rior passing was a thing of beauty to behold.

Petitclerc-Crosby would get the first and second of the final frame to round out the hat trick and Sequoia Robinson and Katelyn Chapman would finish things off for the Sharp Shooters.

Shuswap welcomes the same Westside team to the Shaw Centre this Sunday, Jan. 26

Chase council is considering a proposal for a Canadian fishing show, The Dimestore Fishermen, to come to the area, provided they get a partnership with community members.

Council received in-formation on the pro-posal back in Novem-ber from the show’s Calgary producer, Jim Hoey.

The show is known not only for showcas-ing an area’s recre-ational fishing, but also the communities who host them.

Each episode de-scribes the community, including the business-es and local history. They visit museums, as well as local coffee shops and talk to mem-bers of the community.

“The program takes viewers on a tour of some of the very best in lake, ocean, river and ice fishing loca-tions Canada has to offer,” said the show’s website. “Have a peek at some of the great-est fishing areas in the world today. Learn about products and techniques that will help you become better at fishing.”

Mayor Ron Ander-son noted that one of the reasons the show decided to target Chase at this time is because of the upcoming salm-

on run.Council and village

staff agreed that the show could be a good source of advertising for the area and a use-ful tool for marketing.

The Dimestore Fish-ermen is less than 10 episodes away from hitting its 200-show mark, and appears on Canadian channels at least once a week. It has also taken to the television airwaves in the United States and will soon be expanding into some European countries as well.

While the Dimestore Fishermen will retain the rights to the epi-sode itself, Chase will receive a shortened version of the episode in which it appears.

This will contain only Chase footage and can be used as a promotional tool.

While the television show does offer a num-ber of opportunities for Chase to present itself to a wide audience, it also costs money in or-der for it to happen.

This is where coun-cil is seeking business owners or other com-munity members who might be interested in partnering with the vil-lage.

Fishing in ChaseTelevision: Area considered for show. By Cavelle Layesmarket news staff

A recent upgrade to the community hall has un-expectedly helped save the village money.

Council was informed by village staff at the Jan. 14 council meeting that the air conditioning unit installed last summer on the roof of the Chase Community Hall was also a heat pump.

It has been because of this dual purpose that the unit has been able to successfully heat the up-stairs of the community hall throughout the winter months. As a result, the two less-efficient furnac-es have been left on standby, saving energy, and money, in the process.

A number of lights have also been replaced by a recently hired contractor from Simpson Maxwell.

The lights were so outdated they were not able to be replaced.

The Chase Heat took on the Chiefs in the Little Apple on Friday, Jan. 17.

In a fast and skilled contest, the visiting Heat opened scor-ing with a power-play marker from Kaleb Boyle in the first pe-riod. The Kelowna side then got a pair to take a 2-1 hard earned vic-tory. Jake Mattes faced 40 shots.

On Saturday the

18th, the Heat hosted the North Okanagan Knights from Arm-strong.

Once again the game was fast and skilled with a good mix of contact. Mattes faced 38 shots in this scin-tillating contest as the local side earned a 4-1 victory. The Heat got four unanswered goals prior to the Knights closing out scoring. Kurtis Johnson scored

in the first. In the sec-ond, Nic Fidanza and Buddy Summers put the biscuit in the bas-ket. Austin Lee popped one in during the third period. The balanced assault was highlighted by 10 different players in on the goals and as-sists.

With 12 regular sea-son contests left, the Heat are on the verge of claiming their first foray into the playoffs

in the short team his-tory. Next up at home are the Revelstoke Grizzlies on Thursday the 23rd.

Next weekend the boys are on the road in Revelstoke for a re-match on Saturday the 25th, followed by a 5 p.m. contest in Kam-loops on Sunday the 26th versus the Storm. Details on playoff ticket packages will be coming soon.

Don’t Miss Out!


Her career is at a high, and many say she sounds better than ever.

This Canadian mu-sic artist is touring once again, and a stop in Chase has officially been scheduled.

April Verch has just released her ninth al-bum, Bright Like Gold, and while it reflects her past musical style, both the instrumentation and lyrics are clear evidence of her evolution.

Verch has entered into the second decade of her career as an in-ternationally touring Canadian fiddler, step dancer and singer-songwriter. As her fan base grows, so does her musical talent.

The April Verch Band – rounded out by bassist and clawham-mer banjo player Cody Walters and guitarist Hayes Griffin, who has a masters in jazz improv from the New England Conservatory – is an

energetic, virtuosic, tradition-celebrating outfit, not to mention one that’s not soon for-gotten when they depart the stage.

It doesn’t hurt that the thrilling grand fi-nale involves Verch fid-dling and step dancing – and often executing two entirely different intricate rhythmic pat-terns at once.

The April Verch Band is also known for their ability to fluidly transition into a wide range of styles and genres without a hitch.

Verch is so fluent in folk traditions, includ-ing the Canadian ones she was born into and the American ones she later found her way to, that old fiddle tunes like those featured in the Canadian medley Dusty Miller, Fiddle Fingers and Grizzly Bear, and the Appalachian med-ley Edward in the Tree-top, Yellow Jacket and

Quit That Tickling Me will keep you listening for hours.

It’s a wonder to be-hold Verch pulling off those pristine double-time triplets with her feet, just one of the many ways she’s made good on the promise to stay true to her roots and in her element.

Verch has won countless champion-ship titles, and was even asked to represent Canada’s fiddling tradi-tion during the open-ing ceremonies at the 2010 Olympic Winter

Games.“The accolades are

important and notewor-thy and special to me,” she says, “but what I think is most impres-sive to me is that I’ve been doing this full- time since 2000.

We make a living playing music that we love and it touches other people. I feel like we’re extremely lucky to do that, but also I work really hard, not just at the music, but at every aspect of our career, to make that happen.

That we find a way to

make it work, and have had that kind of longev-ity, that’s impressive to me.”

Verch will be stop-ping at the Chase Com-munity Hall on Feb. 25. Partial proceeds will go to the Chase Museum.

Her show is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. and will continue to 9:30. Tickets are $20 and are available at the Chase Museum and G Force Board Shop as well as Acorn Music in Salmon Arm.

For more information call 250-577-3857.

Emilia Pazur passed away at her home in White Lake, after a short illness, on January 18, 2014. She is survived by her sons Art and Ed, her daughter Mary, sister Wjadja, nephew Stan, grandchildren (Dani, Aaron, Michael, Emma Lee, Candace Peter and Victor) and several great grandchildren. She was predeceased by daughters Christine and Elizabeth, son Andy, and husband John.

Emilia was born in Poland in 1919. During WWII, Emilia’s family was displaced when their home town became part of Russia. For the next ten years they were refugees in Siberia, Kazakhstan, Persia (now Iran), India, Uganda and Italy. Eventually, the family were resettled in Canada where she married John Pazur and raised a family in Beaton on the Arrow Lakes. After the damming of the Arrow Lakes flooded their land, Emilia moved to Kelowna, then Victoria, and Malakwa before settling at White Lake with her son Art.

Despite the upheavals and tragedies Emilia witnessed and endured, she never harboured any bitterness or prejudice. She loved to talk to people, and it wouldn’t matter if the person was royalty or a stranger on the street. She loved to have a good crowd around her. Emilia will be remembered for her special nature and exceedingly sharp-mind.

If Emilia could write this, she would like to thank all the caregivers, staff at the Shuswap General Hospital, medical professionals, friends, and neighbours who cared for her in her last few years especially the last week of her life. In the past few years, Emilia would especially be appreciative of her family and in particular her son Art who supported her and made it possible for her to live at home.

A memorial service will be held for Emilia at Bower’s Funeral Home on Saturday January 25, 2014 at 11:00 am.

Emily has gone home to be with the Lord.Online condolences can be sent through Emelia’s

STEINWAND, ALFRED 1938 - 2014

Victor Wilford Bates passed away in Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm, BC on December 20, 2013 at the age of 70 years.

The Funeral Service was held from Broadview Evangelical Free Church, Salmon Arm, on Monday, December 30th at 11 a.m. with Pastor Dave Penner officiating. Tributes and special music were shared by family and friends.

A reception followed in the Church, catered by the ladies of the Church, allowing time for family and friends to continue sharing memories and stories of Vic.

Born in Hardisty, Alberta on October 17, 1943, Vic grew up with a strong work ethic and a creative entrepreneurial mind. He was employed in the Oil Patch prior to moving to Salmon Arm with his wife Alice, and children Tammy & Leo, in 1973. Within a week Vic quickly purchased Crown Furniture, and he and Alice became involved in the community, expanding the furniture store and location. Vic was a visionary, and was committed to Salmon Arm. His passion for real estate earned steadfast respect among fellow business owners, city officials, and countless citizens for his various developments. Some of his visions included the development of the Salmon Arm Water front, the Prestige Inn, the current location of Churches Thrift Store, and all we see near the wharf. He was a strong supporter of the Nature Habitat, donating his personally owned land to the cause. After giving Salmon Arm years of energy, he focused on Crazy Creek, east of Malakwa. Vic and Alice gained many new friends with this development, and he was in his glory with watching the transformation of the area.

Vic leaves his loving and dedicated wife, Alice; two children, Tammy Bates And Leo (Sharon), Grandchildren (Tyler, Porter, Ava, Aidan, Drake, Jax), brothers and sisters and an amazing community of friends.

Email condolences may be sent to Vic’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Donations in his memory of Vic may be sent to the Salvation Army, Salmon Arm, or the Smaritan’s Purse.

Funeral arrangements were in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

Mom, “Lil” as many knew her, was born in Arradoul, Rathven, Scotland on November 28, 1921. She immigrated to Canada at the age of five. The family settled in Brantford, Ontario where she lived until 1945. Wartime brought many changes to her life. Early 1944 mom met a handsome “Westerner” who was in the armed forces. On June 8, 1944 she married Leo William Ingram; just weeks after their wedding dad was posted overseas with the RCAF #1 Bomber Command. Letters became the only connection between the newlyweds until after the war. In September 1945 the re-united couple “headed west” where mom began life as a rancher’s wife. For over 40 years home was Pinantan, BC, until the ranch sold in 1990. Kamloops became home until 2009. Mom’s last 4 years were spent in Bastion Place, Salmon Arm where at age 92 she peacefully passed away.

171 Shuswap Street, Salmon Arm250-832-2131 &


With fabulous tracks, great weather, 448 ski-ers from three years old to 80, wonderful food at the finish including Rotary’s famous beef on a bun and the lop-pet’s famous lentil soup served by a cadre of volunteers, the 30th an-nual Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet was a grand suc-cess.

Afterwards the com-munity centre pool wel-comed skiers to swim/sauna/hot tub/shower followed by the wine and cheese in the audi-torium. A noisy, lively place with skiers shar-ing stories of the day and greeting skiing comrades from near

and far. Speaking of far – we had three loppe-teers from Australia and had to draw names for the winner of “Farthest Away” prize.

The video produced by Sarah and Trevor Wallensteen was again a huge hit with the crowd. Nothing like a helmet camera following the lead skiers to give the crowd a rush as the ski-ers hurtled down Hot Shot nearing 50 km/hr! Steve King did his amazing announcing job at both the start/fin-ish on the hill and at the awards. He was blown away by the announc-er’s booth which had been built last fall in the stadium for him (and subsequent announc-ers) – suitably named King’s Castle. Our Olympic gold medal guest, Vic Emery, pre-sented the medals and mugs to the first, second and third-place winners. Gullan Hansen received a standing ovation for, at 79, having skied all of the 30 loppets. She also

received a pair of hot pink ski tights – great fun for both her and the crowd. The Heart and Stroke Foundation realized $10,450 from the event. So, a great day all around. And to top off a fabulous 30th loppet, our own young lads, John Connor and Thomas Hardy, came a close one-two to win the 34-km event, and our Abbi May was the first woman. Wow!

The track setter has headed down Metford

Road from Lake View off Sentinel a couple of times this ski season, setting track right down to the South Canoe gate. If you organize a car at the bottom, it is a great way to finish your day. Alternatively, for a good workout, ski up Met-ford from South Canoe to Lake View and into the system, then end up by coming back down Metford. As well, as long as the weather is cold, there is great ski-ing on the lake. We ski

from Raven to town close to shore – it’s a mud flat area fairly far out. There seems to be a lot of skiing action for we see classic and skat-ing tracks each time we head out on the lake. So, if you are short of time and can’t make it to the Larch Hills for a ski outing, you have two alternatives close to home. And a bonus is that if you have a dog, it is welcome both on the ski up Metford Road and on the lake. Just don’t take your dog into the system past Lake View.

With tough competi-tion and only two final positions available on the Olympic team, un-fortunately Larch Hills’ Alysson Marshall was not successful in her bid to make the team. We know how hard Alysson has trained in the past four-plus years and how much she really wanted to make the team. We applaud her determina-tion and effort to try to reach this goal.

A number of race events on the horizon for the Junior Race Team: BC Cup #2 in Kamloops this week-end, Midget Champion-

ships here at Larch Hills Feb. 8-9, and National Championships in Cor-nerbrook, Newfound-land in March.

Think snow!
