White Lake logging plan changed

Members of the White Lake Residents Association are delighted a cut block above their community has been altered to protect a major viewscape.

Executive member Bry-on Every says the discus-sion process was long and

arduous but the result was worth it.

“It was a difficult pro-cess with the government and the BC Timber Sales (BCTS) but we were fi-nally able to come up with something that worked for everybody,” he says.

As well as having one of the highest-profile views-

capes above the lake, the proposed cut block was a very young and healthy stand of timber.

“The question was, why do you have to log that piece knowing how impor-tant it is to the community when there are other areas that could be logged,” said Every.

“Through many discus-sions and emails, we were able to get several different parties together and had a five-hour meeting on Nov. 6,” he says, noting there was representation from the Ministry of Forests, Vernon Forest District, and BC Timber Sales. “What stemmed from the meet-

ing and what we inevitably ended up with was a 40-60 split.”

Every says BCTS origi-nally planned to take 70 per cent of the timber in the stand in a patch form that concerned White Lake resi-dents.

“We felt there were flaws in the design of that block and the long and the short of it is we actually came out with more than we asked for.”

“BCTS became will-ing and nice to work with,” he says. “They took our concerns to heart and pretty much implemented what we asked for, and changed their logging plans ac-cordingly.”

An originally non-existent buffer between the proposed cut block and private property was replaced with a 75-metre wide buffer, something Every de-scribes as a huge gain for the community.

“They redesigned patches, added to some that were weak, and made a considerable amount of adjustments to the logging plan,” he says. “There was a list of some pretty strict rules that normally don’t go into a log-ging plan and they’ve committed to putting a BCTS rep on site ev-ery second day to make sure everything is be-ing followed.”

Every says he’s hop-ing the association’s work will benefit other communities.

“What we’re hoping

now, and we have had confirmation, is that they also agreed a com-munity shouldn’t have to go through what we did to resolve issues,” Every says. “We feel we made a milestone and that this could af-fect future negotiations about logging with other communities.”

But Every’s talk of a negotiation does not sit well with Colin Johnston, a woodlands supervisor for BC Tim-ber Sales’ Okanagan-Columbia Business Area.

“It’s very important we don’t get on the negotiation thing,” he says. “Our job is to balance all the values for all British Colum-bians as it is a public resource.”

Johnston says one of those values is to get a fair return to the prov-ince’s taxpayers, while other values include meeting visual quality

objectives set by gov-ernment, protecting recreational trails and dealing with wildlife concerns.

“We’re not going to negotiate,” he em-phasizes. “We can’t negotiate everything, but we can listen to the concerns and find solu-tions that meet those concerns.”

Having made it clear that the word discus-sion should replace negotiation, Johnston says White Lake resi-dents were extremely easy to get along with and worked to a good compromise.

“It is important to us because we have other forestry operations in the area and other tim-ber sales, and we want to make sure to set the right precedent in com-munity involvement and working with the community,” Johnston says, noting the White Lake cut block includ-ed some old approved blocks. “The commu-nity had one percep-tion and we had anoth-er perception, so it took some discussion.”

Through the dis-cussion it made sense to retain some of the timber, says Johnston, who maintains BCTS is happy the parties were able to work it out and come to an amena-ble solution.

Blaze guts Granite Creek wineryAn early-morning

fire at Granite Creek Estate Wines in Tappen has destroyed the win-ery and thousands of dollars worth of wine.

Firefighters from the Tappen-Sunnybrae Vol-unteer Fire Department responded at 5:30 a.m. Jan. 15 to find the win-ery fully engulfed.

Heather Kennedy, who owns the winery in partnership with her husband Gary and son and daughter-in-law Doug and Mayka Ken-nedy, says all the wine that was being aged in oak barrels was de-stroyed.

“We have no wine, all our stuff for the next few years is gone, all the wine that was being aged in oak for three to four years is gone,” she said, admitting the Kennedys were in a state of shock.

Heather says the two-storey winery that spe-cialized in red wines, had six different vari-eties on the go, with a supply of port just ready for bottling.

Not only were the

wines destroyed, but the downstairs bottling line as well.

And while insurance adjusters were on the scene by mid-morning Tuesday, Heather says it won’t give the fam-ily back what they have put into Granite Creek over the past 10 years.

“You never get what you put into it,” she said.

The Kennedys have no idea where or how the fire started.

Heather says Gary got up at around 4:30 a.m. and, surprised by the fact the water was not running, thought perhaps the cold tem-perature had frozen the lines.

When he looked out the window to check the thermometer, he saw the winery in full blaze and called 911.

“It’s just a shock, just the shock of it all,” Heather said, express-ing gratitude to the Tappen-Sunnybrae fire-fighters. “Thank God it didn’t get the house.”

The wine shop lo-cated in the Kennedy’s nearby home has a small inventory of bottled wine. Some of

their wines are also cur-rently available in local stores.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District fire services co-ordinator Kenn Mount says the structure was fully en-gulfed when the 14 Tappen-Sunnybrae firefighters arrived at the winery.

“The crews arrived quickly and approached the fire defensively; they were able to han-dle the situation very well. I am impressed with how well the fire officers did command-

ing this incident,” says Mount.

“The Tappen-Sun-nybrae Volunteer Fire Department has a large number of new recruits, who still have less than one-year service and they performed very well at this incident.”

Mount was helping with the investigation Tuesday morning. He says the source of the fire was in the basement and is not considered suspicious. The investi-gation was continuing, but a cause had not yet been determined.

While the vineyards were untouched by the blaze, Heather says the future of Granite Creek remains to be seen. The Kennedys will continue to sell what is left of their stock.

Customers are asked to call 250-835-0049 before visiting the win-ery.

Dreams of hot music banish chillThe weather outside

may be frightful, but the summer will be de-lightful.

Just seven months re-main to the 21st version of the Roots & Blues Festival plays out Aug. 16 to 18 and three stel-lar acts have already signed on – boogie woogie piano virtuoso Ben Waters, Maple Blues Award nominees The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, and Appalachian real deal Malcolm Holcombe.

From the age of 14, Waters’ life has been centred around his mu-sic.

The first boogie woogie he heard was Meade Lux Lewis’s classic Honky Tonk Train. He heard it once and played it back note for note.

From a very ordinary home, Waters found pursuing his musi-cal dreams an uphill struggle. School pianos were locked away from him because he wasn’t playing classical mu-sic.

Without formal train-ing, Waters turned pro-fessional at the age of 17 and has played with such notables as Jools Holland, Shakin’ Ste-vens, Ray Davies, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry,

Waters tours the world with a stellar group of hand-picked musicians, who are stars in their own right: Ady Milward on drums (who has chart-topped with other groups);

Chris Rand and Adam Davey on sax and Richard Hymas on bass.

Closer to home, and ready to share their own brand of “blues for a changing world,” its Vancouver’s The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer (HAM).

The music of Shawn Hall and Matthew Rog-ers has been describes as being “akin to a sweaty fling between a sack full of harmoni-cas, a mess of foot percussion and a very greasy telecaster.”

Hall provides soul-tinged vocals and distinctly dirty blues harp, while Rogers si-multaneously pours out throbbing drum grooves and guitar licks.

The duo has played festivals all over West-ern Canada, sharing the stage with some of the world’s finest blues acts including Jim By-rnes, Dick Dale, and MonkeyJunk.

Another new per-former is Malcolm Holcombe, whose new album Down the River, his ninth, is born from that bed of contradic-tions we all lie in.

There are songs here such as Twisted Arms and Whitewash Job that sizzle with anger at a society that seems intent on losing its way and running over its poor and disenfran-chised.

These are coupled with songs from a softer, more generous perspective such as The Crossing and In Your Mercy, written in the voice of an old woman who sees “All I worked for/…sold and surely gone,” but who trusts that “many years will tell the truth.”

The multiple per-spectives of these songs speak of the man who wrote them. Holcombe takes the stage in the same clothes he wore driving to the gig, and his soft voice, rasped

from years of smoking and singing to be heard in honky tonks, rises to a howl as he frails his guitar with furious pre-cision.

He stomps, growls, rolls his eyes as he plays, then between songs cuts the tension with a corny joke.

A once-legendary drinker and hell-raiser, Holcombe is now many years sober and em-braces a gentle if non-specific spirituality.

There are stories from his time of drink-ing, drugs and wild be-haviour, but like most in recovery, Holcombe would rather let the past stay in the past.

“It’s miracle to be here every day,” he of-fers. “I’m just glad to be able to drive on my side of the road.”

The core of each of his songs is Hol-combe’s voice, which can growl like a ce-ment truck in low gear or mellow into a heart-tugging croon, and his guitar playing. Holcombe plays with his bare fingers and his percussive attack makes it easy to over-look the precision with which he plays.

The acts of writing songs and playing mu-sic have always been hopeful ones, however bleak the subject matter of the songs might be.

“With many more performers to be re-leased in the upcoming weeks and months, in-cluding some big-time surprises, take advan-

tage of our member pricing,” says Crocker, noting a limited number of member tickets save up to 35 per cent on gate price. “Three days of music for $110 or lower? Come on!”

For ticket informa-tion and pricing, visit www.rootsandblues.ca or call 250-833-4096.

n Pianist Ben Waters will be back at the Roots and Blues Festival in August.

Last week I stepped out of the house for the first time in the better part of a week.

I’d had the flu, not at all unlike a lot of other people. I just needed some fresh air after having been cooped up for too long.

After putting up my col-lar and pulling down my hat, I decided to go for a walk in the freshly fallen snow. It was, well, quiet and peaceful – and very, very white. After walking for a few minutes, I realized I was heading for McGuire Lake. Even under the snow, the grass and trees around McGuire Lake represented, at least in my mind, a small green oasis from the dirty grey of the streets and side-walks and concrete build-ings that I look at every day when I’m downtown.

When I got there, I brushed the snow from one of the benches, sat down and took a great big breath of fresh air. I sat there and just enjoyed the silence. It was almost like music swirling all around me.

I shut my eyes and imag-ined I was up at the lake –

anywhere but in the middle of a grey, concrete city.

I let the peace wash over me like waves over the rocks. I listened to some sort of songbird, twittering among the reeds. For a mo-ment, a very brief moment, I thought if I opened my eyes it would be spring and the grass would be green, and the promise of a new year might begin to unfold in front of me.

I wanted so much for it to be spring, but deep down inside I knew it was still the middle of January and that we still have another few months of snow. I sat there for the longest time, eyes shut, enjoying my imagi-nary coming of spring.

When I finally opened my

eyes, I felt a lot better. I real-ly did. I was ready to cope.

I sat there for a while longer, watching a group of ducks that were huddled together in the last bit of remaining open water. I did not feel quite so alone. As I watched them, my mind’s eye began to focus in on the long fingers of shadow, cast by a leafless tree nearby. They seemed to wrap themselves around the ducks like a long thin black hand. I guess I cannot help but think like a photogra-pher. How many times have I looked at something and started to compose a picture in my mind’s eye?

I can’t help myself, I guess. I think of where the light is coming from, how it is falling on the subject. I look to see what elements are important to the im-age. What are the impor-tant details: what shutter speed; horizontal or verti-cal? Ducks on the surface of the water? That would lend itself to horizontal – and so on and so on. Some days I take a thousand pictures without ever using my cam-era.

Just then a semi came by with its air brakes on. Sev-eral of the ducks took flight. The others just paddled a little further away from the sound. So much for peace and tranquility.

As I sat there on the bench, I thought of a line from Ecclesiastes – or at least I know it’s a line from a Pete Seeger song that says: “To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose.”

I like the changing of the seasons, one into another. I also like to think that there is some purpose to life.

How many times have I sat there on one of those benches, on a warm sum-mer’s day, enjoying the warmth on my face and watched a red-winged blackbird sitting perched on a bullrush? I used to like sitting there and watching the kids fishing, but that’s a whole other issue.

Having sat there for a while in the snow, I came to the conclusion that we do not need winter. Why can’t we just go directly from au-tumn to spring and forget about winter altogether?

Tories need to dispense with omnibus bills

Time to forget about winter

If the Conservative government hasn’t already thought about its penchant for omnibus bills in Par-liament, it needs to.

The Idle No More movement has focused its at-tention on changes to the Navigable Waters Pro-tection Act and Environmental Assessment Act, which are rolled into an omnibus bill. These bills give MPs little chance to debate important issues because there are so many items jammed together.

Omnibus bills began appearing during the five years the Conservatives had a minority, and were often crafted to keep at least one opposition party from voting against the government.

While this was an understandable strategy, the need for omnibus bills does not exist when there is a majority government. But the government likes the approach, because it limits the usefulness of Parliament and the ability of critics to draw public attention. That worked fine when the critics were solely from the opposition parties. But when they are from outside Parliament and are energized by a variety of causes, omnibus bills have the potential to do a great deal of harm.

The harm comes from emasculating legitimate opposition in Parliament, where democratic differ-ences need to be discussed. If too many people be-lieve Parliament doesn’t work, and this leads them to damage Canada’s economy because of their frustration, omnibus bills become very dangerous.

The Conservative government has a majority, and it should be ready and willing to hear criticism of its plans within an elected assembly.

Idle No More has the potential to serve as a force for change. The federal government needs to choose a path which is working towards positive change — on all types of issues.

View pointThis is a response to

the message to parents in an advertisement from the North Okana-gan-Shuswap Teachers Association entitled, “What parents need to know.”

Here are some things the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) will do for you an your chil-dren:

• It will provide a picture of how he/she is doing relative to oth-er students in the same grade within B.C.

• It will provide an opportunity to see if the teachers are actu-ally doing what they are paid to do

• It will provide some measure of how the student may rank compared to students in other parts of the world. Canadian stu-dents will increasingly be competing for jobs with peers from around the world

• It will provide a picture of how well this school jurisdiction

is doing compared to others in B.C.

• It may provide a picture of how well a particular school is do-

ing within the districtThese are all useful

things for parents to know.

I should know be-cause I am a parent, may I add with three children who did well in school and have very successful careers, and I am a retired teacher, albeit from Alberta, a place where teachers do more than strike or talk strike 50 per cent of the time.

Tests provide useful information

International development a critical issueI hope Canada will

cancel its cuts on inter-national development during the new year. After freezing foreign aid, the Conservatives announced last year they would be cutting the budget of the Ca-nadian International Development Agency (CIDA) by $319 mil-lion over three years.

As we know, this would condemn a countless number of men, women and chil-dren to suffering, dis-

ease and death. It will also slow down all the efforts we have made up until now in vacci-nation, access to edu-cation and better living for the poorest of the world.

For perspective, $319 million over three years is not such a big amount when compared to the $11.5 billion gift the Conservative govern-ment is giving the rich companies in tax ben-efits for 2013-2014 – as indicated by the Cana-

dian Centre for Policy Alternatives in its 2012 Alternative Federal Budget.

It is not much either when compared to Canada’s $21.1 billion military budget.

(I use the term “for-eign aid” to be well understood but, in my mind, it’s not aid.

It’s rather giving back to the poorest of the world a tiny part of what they were stripped of by rich countries over the years, through

intimidation, military presence, destabiliza-tion, destruction of their infrastructure and freeze and seizure of their assets.)

I am not rich, I did not contribute to Mr. Harper’s party and I am not either a creation-ist. Still, I do hope Mr. Harper won’t forget me and the poorest of the world in 2013 and will cancel its cuts on inter-national development.

Volunteers of Friends of the 1922 Notch Hill Church So-ciety have begun the reconstruction of the Roman Catholic Holy Cross Church.

When they began the project, the building was in a state of near collapse from severe damage to the east side of the roof and wall

and weather damage. The building has

been abandoned since the early 1970s.

The objective is to rebuild it architectur-ally, as it was first built.

What the society needs desperately in order to achieve this goal are copies of any photographs of the ear-ly days of the church.

The society is ask-ing anyone who may have had a connection with this church during the years – throughout the ’30s, ’40s, ’50s and ’60s – for photos that show the church in its prime and can be cop-ied.

The photos will be returned to the owners. These will help the so-

ciety achieve preser-vation of this historic building.

If you have any in-formation that may help in this restoration, photos of the church when it was an active parish, or if you would like to volunteer in this project, contact Louise Barber at 250-253-5776.

n Volunteers have begun reconstruction of Holy Cross Church, which is situated close to the CP Rail tracks near the Notch Hill crossing. The society formed to undertake the work is looking for photos of the Roman Catholic Church between 1930 and the late 1960s when it was an active parish.

Annie Lou is coming back to town.

Annie Lou – the band, that is – per-formed two years ago on the stage at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, as well as last year at the Sor-rento Bluegrass Festi-val, where fans could not get enough of their good old-time, foot-stomping bluegrass and country music.

Annie Lou will per-form in concert at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23 at Carlin Hall.

Built around the

original songwriting styles of Anne Lou-ise Genest and driven by fiddle and banjo, along with guitar, up-right bass and plenty of solid vocals, Annie Lou has a foot rooted in both the past and the present.

Their music is new and original, yet old and familiar all at the same time.

The current band is comprised of Genest on guitar, vocals and banjo, Kim Barlow on vocals and banjo, An-drew Collins on fiddle

and mandolin, and Max Heineman on up-

right bass and vocals.Genest, who spent

20 years living in the Yukon woods, started out as a solo artist af-ter being drawn to old- time mountain and tra-ditional country music.

With the much-anticipated release of Grandma’s Rules for Drinking, which was recorded in Toronto at Sytesounds Studios, Genest delivers the same great energy, but with a subtle maturity.

Tickets for the con-cert are $15 and are available at Acorn Music, or call Tracy at 250-517-7977.

Casting call focused on young performers

FACES studio is calling all children between the ages of six and 14 who are in-terested in performing and think they have a little acting talent, or would like to gain some.

FACES studio is putting out a general casting call to rehearse and present the play, Treasure Island.

This will be a full- scale production with sets and costumes and will be presented to the public in mid-May.

Rehearsals will take place every Friday night from 6:30 to 8, under the direction of

Mary Jackson from Kamloops.

Jackson has a wealth of experience working with kids in children’s theatre.

Rehearsals take place at the FACES studio in the Blind Bay Marketplace.

Families who are interested should at-tend the first meeting of parents tonight, Jan. 18 at 6:30. Any ques-tions, please contact Karen at the FACES studio.

For more infor-mation, call 250-515-3276 or send an email to [email protected].

Music rooted in past, present

n Anne Louise Genest and her band Annie Lou will appear in concert at Carlin Hall Jan. 23.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) has formed two separate committees, one for Scotch Creek and the other for Sorrento/Blind Bay, to explore alternate options for community sewer systems.

A Liquid Waste Management Plan (LWMP) was completed in Electoral Area C (South Shus-wap) and in Electoral Area F (North Shuswap) in 2009. Both LWMPs recommended creation of a community sewer system. However, limited grant opportunity coupled with identified costs at the time put plans of community sewer systems out of economic reach.

These two multi-stakeholder committees will work with a consultant to review and amend the current LWMPs to investigate more affordable op-tions.

The committees are made up of CSRD staff, the respective area directors, representatives from In-terior Health Authority, Ministry of Environment and First Nations as well as two members of the public.

“We are determined to turn over every stone in an effort to find feasible and affordable solutions,” says Electoral Area C Director Paul Demenok. “The residents of the Shuswap want to see the lake cleaned up and well-maintained for future generations, and this is our approach to meeting that challenge.”

Electoral Area F director Larry Morgan says it’s essential for a sanitary sewer system be in place in order for Scotch Creek to fulfill its role as a pri-mary settlement area.

“At the same time,” adds Morgan, “a sanitary sewer system will further serve to improve and protect the local ground water and aquifer under-lying the community, and ultimately the lake it-self.”

Public consultation is one of the top priorities of the process. The consultant is required to submit a communication plan that encourages community input.

The final reports are expected to be complete in July, 2013.

With just 18 kilo-metres of groomed and track-set trails, the Skmana cross-country ski area is small in size, but there is a huge amount of local volun-teer support that has made this true gem of a winter playground a major success.

Just a few years ago, the Skmana Cross-Country Ski Club had dwindled down to just 25 people, and its trail groomer was becom-ing old and unreliable. Under the leadership of then-president, Bri-an David, the group be-gan an ambitious fund- raising project in 2011 to raise $25,000 to pur-chase a new grooming machine.

Success was achieved in less than a year and the mem-bership numbers grew once again. Local gov-ernment grants from two regional districts and the town of Chase provided over half the amount needed and the rest was earned through silent auctions, ski-athons, private do-nations and other fund raising projects.

The new equipment

includes a new snow-mobile and a Ginzu groomer, which is what the Larch Hills uses for their side trails.

We have been skiing at Skmana for years, although only a few times each winter. Our favourite aspect of the ski area is the lake it-self, as we often ski around it a few times as we enjoy the big sky, the views of the surrounding hills and watching the ice � sh-ers dangling their lines.

The trails in the hills are also great fun, es-pecially the dips and the curves. Local skiers appreciate Skmana’s casual atmosphere, its close proximity to the West and North Shus-wap, and its diversity of terrain.

The Skmana Club is very active, with many social functions throughout the season, including moonlight skis, potlucks, skill development sessions, and fundraising activi-ties.

In 2012, the Shus-wap Trail Alliance helped the club design and build snowshoe trails and this winter snowshoeing has be-come a popular activity around the lake.

A few years ago, the club built a new warm-ing hut closer to the lake after the older one was vandalized and burned. Skmana Lake is also a popular camp-ground, especially for � shers. However, when the lake was treated to

kill the invasive perch, the � shermen stopped going there and the campground became a party destination that resulted in shame-ful vandalism. Now that the lake has been restocked, the � sh-ers have returned and there is hope that the party crowd will go elsewhere.

The Skmana area has an intriguing past. In 1911, the Adams River logging com-pany built the massive, timber framed 11-km long Bear Creek � ume that moved the logs from the hills to the river, where they were eventually transported in booms to the mill in Chase.

Skmana Lake served then as a holding pond for the adjacent timber prior to it being sent down the giant, � ve-foot wide water slide to the river.

During the Second World War, there was a Japanese internment camp near the lake, and only recently were the buildings demolished. And in the 1970s, a bi-athlon training centre

was built at Skmana, but was never used.

The idea for a Chase area ski club � rst began to get going in the mid-1980s when a group of committed Nordic ski-ers from Chase began to look for an area to ski in and chose Nis-konlith Lake.

They made their own trails in those early days and a Jackrabbit program was launched to teach children from the community how to ski. After a few years they realized that the ski conditions were un-reliable at Niskonlith Lake and they began to search for a better area.

A forester in the group who worked for Adams Lake Lumber helped them pick the Skmana Lake area, as above the lake was an old network of logging roads and skid trails. And the forestry com-pany then assisted the group by clearing the brush off the trails and rounding the curves with a bulldozer.

In 1990, the group formed a society and purchased a used Bom-bardier groomer.

Key to the club’s early success was the support in Chase from Brian and Trish Da-vid’s sport store, The Starting Line, that sold and rented skis and served as a centre for the club.

By the mid ’90s, there were upwards of 30 children in the weekend Jackrabbit program with four in-

structors.Now the G-Force

store in Chase assists the club by provid-ing memberships and complimentary skis for locals who want to try out the sport. There is also a ladies ski program every Friday morning.

The Shuswap is en-joying one of the best ski seasons in many years, and enthusiasts should consider trying out the Skmana trails, especially if they have never been there be-fore.

Madonna took a firm stand with fans who were smoking near the stage at her Dec. 19 concert in Santiago, Chile. “If you’re going to smoke cigarettes, I’m not doing a show” she told the group of smokers at her sound-check before the con-cert. “I’m not kidding. I can’t sing if you smoke… If you love me, don’t smoke.” With that, the pop star left the stage, only re-turning hours later to start the performance.

Blunt words from the Queen of Pop,

who was wrapping up her highly success-ful six-month MDNA tour. After 86 concert dates, Madge might be forgiven for wanting to protect her million-dollar instrument: her voice.

Her rant may have perplexed the crowd who were attending the performance at the Estadio Nacional, a huge open-air stadium in Santiago. Madonna has banned smok-ing at all her concerts, even in outdoor arenas and in those countries where smoking is still allowed in indoor pub-lic places.

Here in Canada, smoking in indoor public places is thank-fully a thing of the past.

Increasingly, commu-nities across the coun-try are strengthening outdoor restrictions as well. Outdoor smok-ing bylaws are in place in a number of B.C. municipalities such as Vancouver, Kelowna and Duncan, and are under consideration in several others.

Why ban smoking in outdoor areas like beaches, playgrounds, trails and parks? In addition to protecting people from harmful exposure to tobacco smoke, outdoor smok-ing bans lessen the en-vironmental impact of forest fires, toxic litter and risks to wildlife.

Equally important, these bylaws are one of the most effective

tools in de-normalizing tobacco use in commu-nities. Youth who grow up in smoke-free com-munities are much less likely to start smok-ing, and those who do smoke find it easier to quit. Smoking bans are a major contribu-tor to declines in B.C.’s smoking rate, consis-tently the lowest in the country, at 18 per cent.

Municipalities that have enacted outdoor smoking restrictions have reported few is-sues. A Waterloo Uni-versity study on an outdoor bylaw enacted in Woodstock Ontario in 2008 indicated suc-cess: smoking was re-duced in restricted ar-eas and support for the ban increased, espe-

cially among smokers. Smoke free outdoor

spaces not only protect Madonna’s priceless pipes; they protect our children and our envi-ronment. It appears the movement for smoke- free outdoor spaces is taking hold. Wouldn’t the Material Girl be proud?

Rotary UpdateROTARY CLUBS OF SALMON ARM & CHASE

New Rotarians requiredIf there is a need, Rotary will find a way to address it

Maybe you’ve seen a need in the Shuswap and wondered how you could help. Maybe you want to use your profes-sional skills to help others — or even learn new skills. Maybe you’re seeking con-nections with other service-minded professionals in your community or abroad.

Whatever your reason, joining Rotary can help you achieve these goals, and so much more. More importantly, to continue the work we do, we need new members!

Community Service

Being a Rotarian means serving your community, networking, making friends, and building international relationships while enjoying the camaraderie of positive and active individuals.

NetworkingRotary provides a tremen-

dous network and positive environment for developing strong friendships, business relationships.

Leadership SkillsLeadership is a key focus of

Rotary. Through Rotary, you

have the opportunity to expand your leadership skills and achieve your goals.

“A week doesn’t go by that I don’t learn something new from the speaker at our club or just from working on projects with fellow Rotarians. It’s a huge opportunity for personal growth.”, explains local Ro-tarian Kari Wilkinson.

International ServiceIf you truly want to give

back to the community – and to the world at large – you join Rotary. It has an arm that reaches across all barriers. To be part of that is very power-ful. Rotary provides a vehicle to accomplish great things - like the eradication of polio world-wide - that wouldn’t happen with people working solely as individuals.

Friendship & FamilyEvery Rotary club in the

world, no matter how big or small, has one thing in com-mon: friendship. It’s from this base of friendship that we serve our community and our families. We want families with children to join Rotary,so we are very flexible.

There are three separate Rotary Clubs in Salmon Arm. Each meets a different time and day of the week, making it easy to find a club that best suits your weekly schedule. Choose from Mon-days at Noon, Tuesday evenings at 6PM, or Thursday mornings at 7AM. Meetings last approximately one hour, and attendance is encouraged but not required.

Corporate and family membershipsIn additional to the traditional individual memberships, corpo-

rate and family options are now available! Interested in joining a local club? Contact Dan Hudson, at 250.835.0043 or email him at [email protected] for more details.

Joining Rotary is easy! Polio PlusThrough Rotary Foundation grants and programs,Rotarians and other donors help change the world. Rotary clubs and districts are providing clean water, improving the environment, sponsoring scholarships, and helping reach Rotary’s No. 1 goal, eradicating polio.

Rotarians have mobilized by the hundreds of thousands to eradicate polio. They’re working to ensure that children are immunized against this crippling disease, despite weak infrastructure, extreme poverty, and civil strife prevailing in many countries. Since the PolioPlus program began in 1985, more than 2 billion children have received the oral polio vaccine.

What have we done lately?Often, we are asked what

does Rotary do? Alternatively, where does the money go that Rotary is fund-raising for? The Salmon Arm Rotary Club has 45 plus members who put “Service Above Self”. What does that equate to in our local and international communities?

Consider the following ways just one Rotary Club has impacted Salmon Arm - and other people in need around the world.

2012 Local Giving• High School and College

Scholarship; $11,000• Canada Day Children’s

Festival; $4,000• Shuswap Music Festival;

$2,100 plus Club Member as-sistance

• Shuswap Hospital Founda-tion; $22,000 - purchase of a new vein viewer

• Falkland-Westwold 1st Responders; $4,600

• Donations to local groups and individuals for sports, rec-reation, health and well-being $3,500.

2012 International Giving• Transitions Foundation

- Guatemala: assistance with the purchase of a wheelchair accessible van; $5,000

• Melody School Project - Guatemala: funding for class-room construction and school supplies; $3,000

• Partners in the Horn of Africa - Ethiopia: Clean Water Project - well construction; $5,000 and Library Project - building construction; $2,500

We sincerely thank the indi-viduals and businesses in our communities for the support

offered to us in our fund-raising initiatives. Without the money coming in, there would be no money going out!

2012 Club ServiceWhen other groups need

assistance, Rotary is often one of the first groups contacted. Why? People can count on Rotarians to get things done!

• Reino Keski-Salmi Lop-pet BBQ Beef on a Bun - the 29th year is coming up in two weeks!

• Shuswap Hospital Founda-tion Rotary BBQ at Ross Street Plaza

• Shuswap Flood Relief Program - Rotary BBQ at the SASCU Recreation Centre

• City of Salmon Arm - planting of downtown hanging flower baskets and assistance with laying 12,000 sq. ft. of turf at the new Blackburn Park universally accessible play-ground

• Salvation Army - annual Kettle Drive participation

• Shuswap Launch-A-Pre-neur - mentorship program.

Youth / World Education• Sponsored Rotary Youth

Exchange Outbound Students to Thailand and France

• Sponsored Rotary Youth Exchange Inbound Students from Ecuador and Belgium

• Rotary Group Study Ex-change - Salmon Arm resident, Jennifer Gerard to Brazil.

Fun and Social ActivitiesWe’ve also been out and

about at the Salmon Arm Fall Fair; on the local golf courses; at the Art Gallery and more!

Polio PlusRotarians have mobilized by the hundreds of thousands to eradicate polio. They’re working to ensure that children are immunized against this crippling disease, despite weak infrastructure, extreme poverty, and civil strife prevailing in many countries. Since the PolioPlus program began in 1985, more than 2 billion children have received the oral polio vaccine.

Polio Eradication Update

After 25 years of hard work, Rotary and its part-ners are on the brink of eradicating this tenacious disease, but a strong push is needed now to root it out once and for all. It is a window of opportunity of historic proportions. As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children every-where remain at risk. The stakes are that high.

A total of 26,220 mouse clicks brought the Eagle Valley Food Bank nearly $3,000 and second place in the Kraft Food for Families contest for the Pacific region.

The promotion took place in two parts. In the first, 50 cents was donated to the Eagle Val-ley Food Bank for every time a person clicked in a vote until a regional maximum of $20,000 was reached. This is how the community gener-ated a total of $2,980.50 for the food bank. Fol-lowing that, a $5,000 prize was available for the community that gen-erated the largest number of votes overall.

In this, Sicamous, with a staggering 26,220 votes, placed behind Na-naimo.

“For a community of our size, per capita, to keep up with a commu-nity the size of Nanaimo, it was really a tremen-dous effort,” says Leanne Watson, with the Eagle Valley Resource Centre. “When we started, we had no clue we could even come anywhere close to 26,000 votes.”

Voters were only al-lowed to cast one ballot per day, so there were many fingers clicking on a regular basis.

“We know this was not just Sicamous, but that we had a lot of help from people in the outly-ing areas. We are just so very thankful for all the people who took their time, it means a lot,” adds Watson.

In total through the Kraft promotion, communities donated $100,000 to food banks across Canada.

Decisions have not yet been made on how to use the donated money, but the Eagle Valley Food Bank is hoping to set up a garden project, as well as refurbish their kitchen with new equipment.

“Every penny counts for us, so this is really great,” says Watson.

Heartbreaker for Heat Fridayn With only 15.2 seconds left in a tie game versus the Nelson Leafs, the puck slips by Heat goalie #31 Jacob Mattes in a dra-matic double overtime finale on Friday, Jan. 11 at the Art Holding Arena. The final score was Leafs 3, Heat 2.

Photo courtesy of marg scott

This past weekend the Chase Heat Junior Hockey Club was faced with a pair of games of significant magnitude.

On Friday, Jan. 11 they faced the KIJHL League-leading Nelson Leafs in their home are-na. Eleven minutes in, the Heat opened scor-ing with Marc Macken-zie firing it and Nicho-

las Fidanza and new recruit Mitchell Dol-man getting the assists.

The Leafs got a pair before the Heat evened things up with 17 min-utes gone in the third, with Drew Wilde get-ting the goal and Re-ece Forman and Ryan Beach helping with the assist. The two teams went into overtime with the Leafs getting the game winner with 15 seconds left in the sec-

ond overtime period.It was a huge effort

and a well-deserved single point for the tie after regulation in a clean, fast-action con-test.

On Saturday, Jan. 12, the team headed to Princeton to take on the Okanagan Division-leading Posse. This was a rough and tumble contest with the vigi-lante group taking a 4 - 2 victory.

Chase scored two short-handed markers, the first from Mckenzie Guardiero assisted by Dolman and the second was landed in the net by Wilde with a little help from Mackenzie.

The second period in this game featured three separate sets of fisticuffs with the Posse getting the most min-utes awarded for may-hem.

In other Heat news,

the team has traded Aiden Silzer-Hooker to the Revelstoke Griz-zlies and Dom Hodges to Sicamous Eagles and brought in two players from Langley, Mitchell Dolman, a defenceman, and Michael Rand, a skilled forward.

Next Saturday night the Armstrong-based Knights come to town followed by the Grand Forks Border Bruins on Sunday.

Family Games Night coming up Jan. 21 at HaldaneFrom games, skates

and books, Chase will be celebrating literacy week in a multitude of ways this year.

The Chase Literacy Program is hosting its first Family Games Night of the new year

at Haldane Elemen-tary School.

While the students of Chase are taking part in the their own reading programs, others in the commu-nity have also stepped in to help raise aware-

ness and fill some bookshelves. This free event will be held on Jan. 21, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the gym.

Haldane PAC will be running a conces-sion with all proceeds going to Haldane.

There will be a drop-off box for do-nations of books for The Chase Bright Red Bookshelf, so par-ents are asked to go through their home libraries and see what they can pass on.

A free family skate and activities will be taking place on Satur-day, Jan. 26, from 10 a.m. to noon. Those attending are asked to bring a book for dona-tion and help fill the penalty box.

The RCMP are de-veloping new leads as they continue their in-vestigation into a series of thefts occurring in the Scotch Creek area.

Chase RCMP con-tinue to advise resi-dents in Scotch Creek and surrounding areas to tighten up security on their property as the rash of break-ins con-tinues after the Christ-mas season.

There are no simi-larities connecting the break-ins, says Sgt.

Gary Heebner of the Chase detachment, other than the fact that houses are being bro-ken into and things are being stolen.

Both seasonal and full-time residences are being targeted, some with items being stolen from the yard or sheds and trailers, others with

the thieves entering into the houses.

“`They are taking a lot of electronics,” says Heebner, “but they are also taking anything and everything that is not nailed down.”

The RCMP have de-veloped a few working theories and are still in-vestigating.

“At this point we don’t think it is a large, organized group but one or two individu-als,” explains Heebner.

Police are asking residents in the area to make sure all doors and windows are locked, that sheds, trailers and other things easily ac-cessible to potential theft are properly se-cured and nothing is left out in the open.

Heebner continues to stress the impor-tance of proper securi-

ty monitoring systems and how valuable they can be in situations such as this.

The Chase RCMP will continue to inves-tigate the incidents and will be increasing sur-veillance in the area by having more cars in the area overnight, as well as a general increase in police presence.

If anyone has any in-formation on the break-ins, they’re asked to call the Chase RCMP at 250-832-3221.

Homeowners warned to lock up

Village council discusses vacation home rentalsCouncil has deter-

mined that the village does not, at this time, regulate in relation to vacation rentals. This means those who rent out their homes during the summer months do not need business li-cences to do so.

However, it was de-cided that the issue of short-term holiday home rentals in Chase be referred to the of-ficial community plan for discussion of pos-

sible revisions.Also discussed was

whether parking per-mits should be issued for bed and breakfasts. After looking into the matter it was discov-ered that there are no ongoing parking viola-tions from the village’s Streets and Parking

Bylaw regarding this matter.

Reaching outIn an attempt to

bridge the gap between the village and local First nations bands, council has decided that the administration will invite the Little

Shuswap Indian Band council and adminis-trator to meet informal-ly with village council and staff. The meeting will be followed by a tour of village facilities and a luncheon. The proposed dates are Jan. 28 or Feb. 4 at 10 a.m.

Council hopes to extend this same in-vitation to the Adams Lake Indian Band as well as the neskonlith Indian Band in the near future.

Youth fundingVillage of Chase

council approved a let-ter of support to the District employment Centre for their pro-posal to Service Can-ada for funding to run a youth-focused Skills Link Program.

Ditches deferredCouncil moved to

discuss the ditches along Brooke Drive at a later date.

The sunny Shuswap can still be fun even when it is covered in snow; you just need to know where to look.

During the summer there is plenty to do in the Shuswap. Whether it is boating, swim-ming, hiking or just re-laxing in the park, there is never a shortage of ideas.

The winter months, however, can be a little more difficult to find activities that will get you out of the house and having fun.

Elena Markin, Chase Chamber of Com-merce manager, sug-gests there are plenty of things happening in and around Chase even in the snow-filled months.

The Skmana Ski Club will be hosting a Snowshoe Family Fun day Sunday, Jan. 20. Those wishing to attend are asked to meet at the

hut before beginning a two-hour snowshoe on the new trail system in the area. No experience is necessary to enjoy

this event, take in some natural beauty and get a little exercise. A packed lunch is suggested.

Skmana Ski Club

will also be starting up their ladies ski. This event will run every Friday from 9 until 11 a.m.

For information on either of these events, call Patricia at 250-679-3951.

Markin suggests at-

tending the local Heat Junior B hockey games as a good way to get out with friends or bond with family while tak-ing in the exciting game of hockey.

Admission can be paid at the front door, and game dates can be found in the What’s On section of this paper or on the team’s website at www.chaseheat.com.

If you’d rather get out and play a game of hockey instead of sim-ply watching from the stands, Markin sug-gest stopping by the drop-in hockey which runs each Sunday at 8 p.m. at the Art Holding Arena.

If you would like to get back to the roots of hockey and enjoy the game on a natural pond, Markin suggests checking out the river down by the VLA on cold afternoons, as

well as Chum Lake.Check carefully the

strength of the ice be-fore heading out.

If you would like to hit the ice, but avoid the hockey scene, the chamber manager sug-gests checking out the public skating avail-able at the arena ev-ery Friday from 3 to 4 p.m., Saturday from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m., and Sunday from 6:45 to 7:45. For more infor-mation on this event, call 250-679-2800.

For fishing enthusi-asts, the winter months are no reason to miss out. Markin suggests heading to Chum Lake as well as Phillips Lake.

For more ideas on what to do in Chase and area any time of year, visit the Visitors Centre or call 250-679-8432 or fax 250-679-3120.

Peggy Maerz, head coach of the Bulldogs Boxing Club, leaves Sun-day for New York City for a fight at the BB King Bar & Grill in Man-hattan. It’s a pretty big event, says Mickey Sims, her trainer and man-ager

Maerz, a pro-fighter, is going to be fighting Heather Hardy at the Broad-way Boxing event. It’s a four-round warm-up fight for her leading up to her goal of the Canadian Bantam Weight Belt in Calgary on April 4.

“It’s going to be really tough be-cause we had to move up two weight classes,” says Sims. “She usually fights at 115 lbs. This fight is at 122.”

Sims says Maerz’s opponent is taller and heavier.

“It’s going to be a tough fight but that’s what we’re looking for to make sure she wins that Canadian belt in April.”

Connie grew up in Blind Bay and spent most of her life there and in Salmon Arm. But in 1942 she bravely set off on her own, with her 6 month oldbaby, on a cross – Canada train trip to join Monty,who was stationed in Nova Scotia, serving withthe Canadian Air Force. She had a life-long love of Blind Bay and the Shuswap and over the yearsspent many happy hours picnicking and campingin the area. Connie worked hard on the family apple and cherry orchard, kept a large vegetable garden, canning and preserving the produce. Sheenjoyed her flower gardens which she tended well into her late eighties, was a wonderful baker and made the best pies. She was active in the BlindBay community and enjoyed bowling for many years. In their retirement years she and Montytravelled widely. She was a kind and gentle soul and we will certainly miss her.

The family would like to thank the staff of Dogwood, in Piccadilly

Care Centre for their kind and caring support of Mom duringher last 2 years of life.

Arrangements are in thecare of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium,Salmon Arm.On line condolences
