Baby bounces back after transplantFor the Hutchinson family, their

lives have been turned upside down and back again.

“It’s just a brand new world,” says Teri Hutchinson, mother of Baby Britton who underwent a heart transplant on Sept. 3.

Britton was born on May 13 of this year with a rare congenital heart defect called pulmonary arte-sia, meaning the right ventricle of her heart did not develop normally.

Because her parents Colin and Teri knew of her condition before she was born, they travelled to the Stollery Children’s Hospital in

Edmonton where Britton could re-ceive specialized cardiac care.

When it was discovered that cor-rective surgery would be too risky for her, she was put on the trans-plant list. Her parents had no idea how long they might have to wait.

“It was in the beginning the worst case scenario to us, some-thing you don’t even want to con-sider,” Teri told the News Monday. “Now to see how well she’s doing, it’s incredible, it’s definitely the best route for her.”

They received the call they’d been waiting for on Sept. 2.

“We were at the hospital, because we’d been admitted at the hospital all summer. We were just packing up to go for a five-hour pass for the day.”

Less than 12 hours later, Britton was un-dergoing surgery.

Wrote Teri on Face-book on Sept. 4:

“The transplant and surgical teams worked through the night performing the miraculous procedure. The healthy new heart seems to be a very good fit and everyone involved is over the moon with how well she is doing. The heart could not have come at a more brilliant time, as little did anyone know Britton’s shunt was clotting again and her stats were drop-ping moments before the surgery began! Words cannot explain our feelings and emo-tions at this time. We are overwhelmed and excited as a weight has been lifted.

“Britton’s colour is like night and day and she looks like a whole new baby already,” she says.

“She was extubated less than 11 hours post surgery and her lungs have been working

on their own perfectly ever since.”

Britton’s speedy re-covery hasn’t slowed down.

On Thursday, Sept. 17, two weeks to the day from her trans-plant surgery, she was released from hospital.

She and her parents and big sister Ayla must remain in Ed-monton, however.

“It’s a crazy new life – we still have to be in Edmonton for quite some time,” Teri says, explaining there are medical appointments every day and blood work to be done. “They have to see that the an-ti-rejection medication is stabilizing.”

The family must take extra precautions so that Britton can be pro-tected from infections and viruses. She said if anyone is at all under the weather, they can’t be allowed to visit.

“She could be re-admitted in the first couple of years to get rehydrated to catch up on fluids. She is always at risk, she has a sup-pressed immune sys-tem for the rest of her life.”

And the heart won’t last forever, Teri says.

“The thing that’s hard for people to understand, myself included, is it isn’t a cure. A good heart

should last her around 20 years, that’s what the statistics are for pe-diatric transplants,” she says, noting the stats are from 20 years ago. “Medicine has come a long way since then… It will get her a lot fur-ther than her old sick

heart.” The Hutchinsons

continue to be ex-tremely grateful for the incredible support they’ve received.

“We just want to continue thanking ev-eryone for the amaz-ing support. It has re-ally helped us a lot. I

couldn’t imagine going through this alone,” Teri says, adding that the family is still get-ting cards from people they’ve never met.

They will continue to be grateful for all the support, and for their baby’s good health.

“She’s a thriving normal four-month-old baby right now,” says Teri. “If you walked past her on the street you’d never know.”

Anything Is Possible


Columbia Shuswap Regional District di-rectors had to move fast at the Sept. 17 board meeting.

The regional district was running out of time in getting approval for the amended Shuswap Watershed Council Service Establishment bylaw by Sept. 30 from the province’s Inspec-tor of Municipalities.

At the Aug. 20 meet-ing, directors gave third reading to the by-law, and agreed on the alternative approval process to get elector assent on the $180,000

required to fund the council, to be paid in a parcel tax by Area C South Shuswap, D Falkland/Silver Creek/Salmon Valley, E Rural Sicamous, District of Sicamous and Area F North Shuswap prop-erty owners.

If 10 per cent or more of the eligible electors sign and sub-mit response forms noting their opposition, local governments can-not proceed with the proposed matter with-out first holding a vote.

In order to get the service established in 2016, elector response must be received by CSRD no later than 4

p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17.At the Sept. 17

board meeting, South Shuswap director Paul Demenok expressed his concern about the wording of the pro-posed Elector Re-sponse form that direc-tors were being asked to approve.

Instead of the total, Demenok asked that individual parcel tax amounts be included as $180,000 figure might scare people.

“I am not sure that’s permitted under the Lo-cal Government Act,” responded Jodi Pierce, manager of financial services. “If it doesn’t get approved today it

would be pushed back to the next meeting and then the clock starts again.”

That means there would have to be an-other report to the board for directors to approve the process.

“Once CSRD has approval from the in-spector, and only then, can we advertise that we are holding an al-ternative approval process…Then there needs to be 30 clear days from the date of the last advertisement in which the public has time to register their opposition by way of the approved form,” says Pierce.

Young boy dies in Celista ATV accident A boy died after be-

coming trapped under an ATV on a rural prop-erty in Celista.

On Sept. 12, Chase RCMP responded to as-sist BC Ambulance on Meadow Creek Road.

Two friends, aged nine and 10-years-old, were riding an ATV when the machine flipped, trapping both boys under the machine. The boys were rescued by the older brother of

the driver, who brought the boys to the farm yard. The boy who was driving was airlifted to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, and sub-sequently moved to BC Children’s Hospital,

where he died the fol-lowing day.

The ATV passen-ger suffered only some bruising.

The man accused of operating a speedboat recklessly on Shuswap Lake in 2010, striking a houseboat and killing its driver, will have to wait another month to learn his fate.

Leon Reinbrecht is charged with criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm.

He was charged after a July 3, 2010, crash on Magna Bay that took the life of houseboat driver Ken Brown.

Nearly five years later, his trial be-gan in B.C. Supreme Court in Kam-loops.

Multiple witnesses testified about having seen a speedboat being driven erratically on the busy lake in the moments leading up to the nighttime crash, which followed a post-Canada Day fireworks display.

Defence lawyers poked holes in the Crown case by repeatedly focus-ing their questioning on whether the houseboat was properly lit. Police admitted in court they failed to check to determine if one of the houseboat’s lighting systems was functioning.

An expert witness for the defence testified the lighting system was not working at the time of the crash.

He also raised multiple questions about the police investigation into the incident. At one point during the trial, a police investigator contacted

the expert witness’ employer, the Ca-nadian Coast Guard, in an apparent attempt to stop him from testifying.

Toxicology reports showed Brown was impaired at the time of his death. The Crown put forward no evidence about whether Reinbrecht was in-toxicated, but a witness who was on the speedboat at the time of the crash said Reinbrecht had been drinking.

In his closing argument in June, defence lawyer Joe Doyle compared Brown to a driver on a highway with-out headlights.

“This is running into an unlit ves-sel that’s moving, that should have had its lights on,” Doyle said.

“He [Brown] shouldn’t have been out there.”

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan had been slated to deliver her verdict on Wednesday, but that has now been pushed back to Oct. 21.

The BC Ministry of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations an-nounced in a statement dated Jan. 15, 2015 that they were initiating a “cull” of some 120 to 160 grey wolves from a pack located in the South Peace region of B.C. and another 24 from a pack in the South Selkirk Mountains. According to the statement, the planned cull will be conducted by ministry staff, who will shoot the wolves from he-licopters, in order to protect dwindling herds of local mountain caribou under threat from the wolves.

“The South Selkirk herd is at high risk of local ex-tinction,” says the ministry. “The population has de-clined from 46 caribou in 2009 to 27 in 2012 and to 18 as of March 2014. Evidence points to wolves being the leading cause of mortality.”

Wolves are similarly re-sponsible for the decline of caribou herds in the South Peace region where an es-timated 37 pre cent of all adult mortalities have been documented as wolf preda-tion.

The statement goes on to say that “hunting and trap-ping of wolves have not effectively reduced (wolf) populations and may even split up packs and increase predation rates on caribou. Habitat recovery contin-ues to be an important part of caribou recovery, but cannot address the critical needs of these herds in the short term.”

In another Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Op-erations statement, assistant deputy minister Tom Ethier notes the province believes caribou are a valuable part of the natural ecosystem and should not be left to slowly die out. He goes on to say other recovery efforts, in-

cluding habitat protection and restoration, are already in place to help the caribou, “but if we wait for these measures to have an impact it will be too late.”

While the peer-reviewed Wolf Management Plan, released in April 2014, out-lined the need for a targeted wolf cull, wolf researcher and director of the Ontar-io based Wolf Awareness foundation, Sadie Parr says that the planned cull is “un-scientific and flawed.”

Parr says wolves are so-cial animals, and killing them will fracture existing groups. Many would move on to breed and form other packs, thereby increas-ing the wolf population and subsequently, put even more pressure on caribou herds

In another January 2015 press release, B.C. based Pacific Wild states, “De-cades of habitat destruction and human encroachment have left B.C.’s mountain caribou on the edge of sur-vival. Instead of protect-ing critical food and habit for the caribou, such as the lichen-rich Interior forests,

the B.C. government is now blaming the wolves.”

The group also points out winter-based, motorized ac-tivity is another major fac-tor in the decline of caribou herds in the Selkirk Moun-tains.

“Traditionally, deep snow would provide security from wolves, but the tracks made by these vehicles al-low wolves easy access to caribou.”

The way I see it, expect-ing wolves not to predate on caribou grazing in there back yard is sort of like cooking up pork chops, setting them a plate on the kitchen table, leaving the room and telling the dog not to touch them.

The wolf cull, not un-like the plate of pork chops, amounts to a lack of reason-ing, coupled with a lack of understanding, combined with a natural instinct to eat food that’s sitting right there in front of you. What you have left to chew on is pretty much a no-win situation.

The above was origi-nally published in the Jan. 30, 2015 Shuswap Market News.

OPINION

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

James Murray

Wolf cull may have reverse effect

For many communities having enough doctors continues to be a struggle and the impact is be-ing felt by many Canadians.

Canadians have had it pretty good when it comes to health care, and reports continue to focus on how our public health care is becoming increasingly costly and overburdened. Whether the shortage of family doctors is a cause or a symptom is hard to tell.

We can also look at family doctors and medi-cal specialists being poached from other ju-risdictions, usually in the U.S., with offers of significantly higher wages, bonuses and the lure of living in a major city.

There is also the fact that provinces throughout Canada, including here in B.C., have done their best to lowball doctors whenever talks about pay and compensation come up.

The shortage of doctors in some parts of Canada, usually quite remote, is considered seri-ous. Some areas have no family doctors and see challenges in staffing hospitals.

And while the mid-Island offers a great life-style, climate, recreation and much more that may draw more doctors, there is obviously more at play here.

After a shortage of medical graduates, many new doctors are also moving away from family practice, seeking specialization and wanting to remain in larger centres.

There is also a shift in the medical culture, documented several years ago, in which a large number of new doctors are now women. Many are having families and are not about to engage in the old system in which work — with lots of grinding hours — comes first.

While Island Health does its best at recruit-ment, the province has to make sure health-care funding is adequate to support such efforts.

–Nanaimo Daily News

Doctor shortage a provincial issue

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW,

Salmon Arm, B.C.

VIEW POINTCompromise, not threats, needed

Could the City of Salmon Arm find a way to accommodate Mr. Lank’s interest in help-ing to keep a city park

clean instead of threat-ening him? I believe so.

Surely a compromise could be reached if one was sought.

Now I am not advo-cating that all able se-niors who are upset by the treatment that Mr. Lank received from the

city meet at McGuire Park on Sunday after-noon around 1 p.m. with their garbage bags and pruning shears...

But I would certainly understand if they de-cided to do so.

Ralph Schweitzer

Looking for fairness in seniors income tax policyBoth Trudeau and

Mulcair want to play ‘Robin Hood.’

Their simplistic way is to cancel income

splitting. There are a great number of retired couples in Canada liv-ing only on pension in-come. There is no way

they are “rich.” Usu-ally the major pension income is registered to one of the couples.

Income splitting for

tax purposes is one break we get in all fair-ness.

Have either of these guys ever defined

where the split is be-tween the “rich” and the “middle class?”

Ron Dash

One of my most painful decisions is to agree with Stephen Harper because I am at odds with almost all his policies.

However, to cover or not to cover is the question.

In Canada the only reason one might need to cover a face is to protect it from frostbite

during severe winter weather.

Women don’t cover their faces in Canada unless they are crimi-nals and hiding from the law.

For someone who is attempting to become a Canadian citizen to de-mand covering her face is outrageous.

Why would a genu-

ine refugee try impos-ing the rules of the country from which she allegedly fled?

If refugees are truly seeking a better life in a new land then it should be reasonable for them to adapt to new customs not for that new county to con-form to theirs.

Canada’s constitu-

tion has gone to hell in a handbasket de-cade after decade by allowing immigrants to enforce their former country’s religion and customs to override the Canadian constitution.

If everything was that good back there, what was the reason for coming to Canada?

It is long overdue

for surviving original immigrants and de-scendants who helped build Canada in the first place, to fight any further erosion of what Canada is truly sup-posed to represent.

Alli M. Graham

People, read the whole thing, ripar-ian... Maybe there is a reason why they don’t want him cutting close to the water. Laws are laws and who do you want to break them next? Even old people have to obey the laws. I can’t believe you are all encouraging him to not listen and just carry on. Let’s all just do what we want and to

hell with laws, bylaws and authority.

I think the city should pay him to be the park caretaker! Sounds like he’s doing a great job!

-posted by Dani Hickman

We need more peo-ple like Mr, Lank, he’s

doing something to make his area safe and welcoming to whom-ever wishes to walk in the area.

He should be ap-plauded, NOT tick-eted! I wish we had someone on our side of town that was as dedi-cated as he is and mak-ing the town a lot nicer place

TEAM FUNDRAISING EVENTS

journALIsmis.ca


The Sorrento Me-morial Hall Associa-tion has been given a hand-up with renova-tions from the Colum-bia Shuswap Regional District.

At the Sept. 17 board meeting in Salmon Arm, directors approved $26,606 plus applicable taxes from the Electoral Area C Community Works Fund for the upgrades.

The renovations include installing low-� ow toilets and replacing the tar-and- gravel roof with torch-on-membrane roo� ng.

The upgrade will make the hall more energy ef� cient for

community functions and quali� es for gas tax funding.

At the same meet-ing, directors also ap-proved grants in aid to the hall in the amount of $1,200 for a news-letter, and another $6,500 to paint the hall and install sound-proof doors.

Area C director Paul Demenok asked for di-rectors support, noting “the community has done a wonderful job of restoring the hall, which is used for vari-ous functions.”

The Sorrento Me-morial Hall Associa-tion will ensure appli-cation of Community Works Funds (CWF) will only be applied to eligible gas tax proj-

ects in accordance with the CWF Agree-ment.

The regional dis-trict will enter into an agreement with the

Sorrento Memorial Hall Association that transfers CSRD obli-gations on ownership and reporting to the association.

“The association

will need to maintain records, provide ac-cess to auditors, spend funding on eligible costs of eligible proj-ects and report to the CSRD on outcomes achieved, etc,” noted Jodi Pierce, manager of � nancial services in her report to the board.

Notch Hill Hall will also be getting up-grades.

Directors approved $9,950.50 plus ap-plicable taxes from the Electoral Area C Community Works Fund to install LED energy-ef� cient pot lighting.

The balance of the Area C Community Works Fund (Gas Tax) is $1,093,000 after 2015 approved com-

mitments. An additional

$145,000 allotment is expected to be re-ceived from the Union of British Colum-bia Municipalities (UBCM) in November and expenditure of the funds will be in accor-dance with the agree-ment between the UBCM and CSRD, dated July 7, 2014.

Zebra and quagga Mussels were expected to be on the menu when members of Salmon Arm council met with Steve Thomson, pro-vincial Minister of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resources.

Though no molluscs were to be consumed, council was hunting for answers on what is being done to ensure the invasive species is stopped from entering B.C. lakes.

“We need more in-formation and public education, but also inspection sites,” said Mayor Nancy Coo-per before heading off to this week’s annual Union of BC Munici-palities convention in Vancouver.

Thomson was one of three ministers who members of council

were scheduled to meet at the conference.

Council had an ap-pointment with Minis-ter of Advanced Educa-tion Andrew Wilkinson to discuss Okanagan College’s proposed Learning Centre for Agriculture and its Downtown Commu-nity Campus.

Cooper said the main purpose was to give the minister an update on how planning is pro-gressing.

The other minister on the list was Todd Stone, Minister of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure.

On the agenda was the highway at the west end of town and the Salmon River Bridge. Cooper said council was planning to en-courage the ministry to keep working on up-grades.

Cooper said she would attend the con-vention for all five days,

as would Couns. Lou-ise Wallace Richmond, Tim Lavery, Chad Elia-son and Kevin Flynn. Coun. Ken Jamieson was planning to attend for a couple of days and

Coun. Alan Harrison wouldn’t be going, she said. Also attending was the city’s chief admin-istrative officer, Carl Bannister.

“If we want to know where he is, he’s at the resolutions,” Cooper said.

Along with meeting with ministers, attend-ing workshops and

conversing with other municipal leaders, council would be pay-ing attention to some of the 218 resolutions be-ing presented.

Resolutions spon-sored by the Colum-bia Shuswap Regional District focused on upgrading of criti-cal accident zones on highways, the funding formula for public edu-cation and funding for nurse practitioners.

Cooper said they would also be paying attention to resolutions of provincial interest that are shared locally, such as ownership of rail corridors, the prov-ince’s BC Transit fund-ing freeze, sustaining clean water sources and rail crossing safety regulations.

Superwalking in the rainn Brynn Gowen walks in the Parkinson Superwalk at McGuire Lake Park on Saturday, Sept. 19. This was the 14th annual edition of the walk in Salmon Arm. Emile Roy was the top donor, rais-ing $1,633.

EVAN BUHLER/MARKET NEWS

A 40-year-old Salmon Arm man was flown by air ambulance to Kelowna hospital after his truck went off the road on 50th Avenue SW.

On Sept. 21 at 9 a.m., police responded to a single-vehicle accident where an F350 slid off the road, hitting a raised driveway. This caused it to flip and roll a couple of times through a fence.

The man was ejected from the truck and suffered serious injuries. Police continue to investigate the incident.

ANNUAL COMMUNITY MEETING

Thursday, October 1, 2015 Doors open at 7 pm

Prestige Harbourfront Resort & Convention Centre-Balmoral Salon

Refreshments to be served at conclusion of meeting.


Multi award-winning Canadian comic Brent Butt is a happy guy who will share his hi-larious take on life at the Salmar Classic on Monday, Oct. 5.

“I always try to look at the bright side; it’s always been my default setting,” says the cre-ator of the wildly popu-lar sitcom Corner Gas, who finds many things funny. “I’m a pretty eclectic guy with a di-verse taste in comedy – goofy things, physi-cal things, word-subtle – anything that kind of catches me off guard with a smart, clever twist.”

Eclectic comedy was the hallmark of Corner Gas, which ran from 2004 to 2009 in the sleepy town of Dog River, Sask.

“We didn’t really censure what kind of comedy we were gonna do; if the writers came up with a funny word joke or something physical, we included it,” he says, pointing out it didn’t matter if it was broad or subtle – if it was funny, he wanted to find a place to put it in the show. “Au-thenticity is the key to everything, especially comedy.

Corner Gas took

home three Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television awards, two Geminis and sev-eral Canadian Comedy Awards for Television.

Asked why he thinks the show became a worldwide sensation, Butt says when the writers and stellar cast were first making Cor-ner Gas, they assumed it would be a fun sum-mer – end of story.

Whenever the show went on hiatus, Butt was back on the road doing stand-up rou-tines, something that earned him the Canadi-an Comedy Award for Live/Best Male Stand-up.

“Stand-up has al-ways been my thing; the thing I wanted to do from the time I was 13 and before Corner Gas came up,” he says. “I don’t know why but it’s where I feel the most at home. For whatever reason, it’s the place I feel most myself. It’s the other 23 hours a day I don’t know what I am meant to be doing.”

Inspiration comes at many times and in many places so Butt has learned to carry a small notebook in which he jots down ideas.

“I shudder to think of the times I didn’t write it down,” he says not-ing that over his long and successful stand-up

run, his eyes and ears have become trained to differentiate between

what will work and what won’t.

Butt says each show

is fresh thanks to the changing audience dy-namics.

“When you get hun-dreds of people in the same room, there’s no way for it to be the same every time,” he says. “You have to think on your feet; there’s no way to not be present. That’s one of the things I love about it.”

Comedian Jamie Hutchinson will be Butt’s special guest.

Tickets are available at the Salmar Grand and Classic theatres.

I remember coming home one night to a de-moralized father and a hysterical daughter.

My daughter loves pancakes, so for supper that night, my husband thought he would make crepes for a special

treat (a big deal coming from a man who does not love to cook). He had even made a spin-ach and cheese filling and béchamel sauce on the side. My daughter took one look, burst into tears and refused to take a single bite.

Eating together as a family is not always a joyful experience. However, from a very young age, meals and emotions are linked to-gether in an inseparable process. For children, they can help provide a sense of safety and nur-turing within the family environment.

The importance of eating together has many other document-ed benefits including: better nutrition, better performance at school and reduced high-risk behaviours (such as drugs and eating disor-ders).

While most of us would agree that fam-ily meals are important, with busy work and ex-tracurricular schedules, it can be hard to find this time together.

Luckily, a family meal does not have to include every mem-ber of the family and does not have to hap-

pen around the kitchen table. In most of the re-search done, the “fam-ily meal” was defined as two or more people eating together, not in front of the television.

Here are some ideas to make meals together easier:

• Prepare for meals in advance. If you are rushed for time, do not plan a fancy meal.

• Try to involve chil-dren in food prepara-tion and clean up; the aim is to create posi-tive associations with preparing food, rather than displaying it as a “chore.”

• If suppertime is too busy, try eating break-fast together instead. If weekdays are too hec-tic, focus first of week-end meals.

• During meals, turn off the TV and the ring-er on your phone. Try speak to family mem-bers about their day instead.

• If you are pick-ing up fast food, either eat at the restaurant or bring it home, don’t eat in the car.

• Realize that meal-time chaos is very nor-mal in our culture. All you can do is try your best!

Family mealtimes well worth making the effort

Sept. 25 @ 1:00 pm


Regional District of North Okanagan of-ficials say there’s a need to set the record straight about a pro-posed Shuswap River boat ban.

On Wednesday, the board instructed staff to prepare a summary of events leading up to the establishment of the Shuswap River wa-tershed sustainability plan and consideration of boating regulations.

“There are questions as to how we got to the regulations,” said director Juliette Cun-ningham.

“We are getting e-mails all of the time.”

There has been con-siderable public debate about possibly prohib-iting motorized vessels from south Mabel Lake upstream to Shuswap Falls, and from Trinity Valley Road upstream to the eastern end of Skookumchuck Rapids Park.

It’s also suggested there be a vessel en-gine size limit of 10 horsepower from Mara Lake upstream to Trin-ity Valley Road.

RDNO’s intent is to improve recreational safety, reduce bank erosion, reduce dis-turbance to salmon spawning grounds and minimize conflicts be-tween river users.

However, some resi-dents have accused

the regional district of unfairly moving ahead with a process that will restrict access to the river, and particularly for those who own wa-terfront.

Director Bob Flem-ing supports the report outlining RDNO’s ac-tions.

“People say there’s a lack of consultation but it will show the consul-tation,” he said.

Herman Halvorson, who is director for much of the Shuswap River area, requested that a summary report be developed.

“A lot of people are unfamiliar with the process,” he said, add-ing that RDNO first looked at boating regu-lations in 1992.

“We want everyone to know why it start-ed.”

If RDNO continues to proceed with the proposed regulations, the federal government would make the final decision on whether they are implemented.

The top four vitamins that every child needs(NC) A top priority for

many parents is ensuring that their children get the necessary vitamins and nutrients to lead a healthy and active life. However, picky eating habits, lack of resources and busy lifestyles can result in many children not getting the proper nutrients they need to thrive.

Here is a list of the top four vitamins that every child needs:Vitamin C

Vitamin C is best known for its role in preventing viral infections. For kids heading back to school, this immune system booster is crucial in the fall and winter months and is a great way to treat and

prevent the common cold that will likely be going around their classroom.Potassium

A potassium-rich diet helps ensure normal heart and muscle function, maintains � uid balance, and participates in energy production. Diets that include foods with high levels of potassium such as bananas, sweet potatoes and avocados, can also help to prevent high blood pressure in adults.Vitamin D

For kids who will be spending all day in a classroom, vitamin D - the sunshine vitamin - might not be as accessible as it was in the summer. Vitamin D has been long

recognized as a bone building ally to assist in the absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus. Getting enough vitamin D as a child sets a crucial foundation for strong bone health as we age.Omega-3s

Unless your child is eating two or more servings a week of fatty � sh (salmon, sardines, tuna), they are likely lacking the essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, that are critical for development and healthy function of the eyes, brain and nervous system. Try a supplement that is specially formulated for children, like Jamieson’s Omega-3 Kids Gummies for a tasty way for children

to receive the essential fatty acids necessary for healthy growth.

Though Canadians have access to the foods with these essential vitamins, not all kids around the world have that luxury. Jamieson Vitamins has partnered with Vitamin Angels, a non-pro� t organization helping at-risk populations gain access to life changing vitamins and minerals. The company’s Share the Health campaign will provide 500,000 children worldwide with supplements of vitamin A, a nutrient crucial for healthy childhood development. More information is available at www.jamiesonvitamins.com.

(NC) Cold and dry air takes a toll on our skin. Right now, prepare your skin for winter by following the Canadian Health Food Association’s (CHFA) tips on how you can nourish it from within.

Did you know that our internal health is just as important to the skin’s condition as what we put on its surface? A balanced diet, which includes certain key nutrients, will add vibrancy to your complexion and help you nourish your skin from the inside out.

The � rst and most commonly cited vitamin for skin health is vitamin C. There is no doubt vitamin C plays an important role in healthy, vibrant skin, as it is essential for the formation of collagen. Extensive research has shown bene� ts of both topical applications and adequate intake of vitamin C through a balanced diet or supplementation. This helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improves skin texture and strength. Many of these bene� ts are a result of the role vitamin C plays in collagen production.

A lesser-known nutrient that also boasts bene� ts for skin health is vitamin B3. This essential nutrient plays many roles in the body, including repairing damaged DNA. Numerous studies have also found that topical application of vitamin B3 can improve the appearance of age

spots, reduce wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.

Another common nutrient is vitamin A, one that is most important for the healthy growth of new cells. Vitamin A is often found in anti-acne skin care products, as it is one of the � rst-line approaches for stimulating collagen production in the skin, promoting

strong connective tissue and, in turn, producing fuller, healthier skin. Since vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, it is recommended that you speak � rst with your health care practitioner to ensure you are getting the right dose from diet, natural health products, and from topical applications.

Spirulina is a blue-green algae superstar that is often found in tablet form or as an ingredient in powder supplements, like Greens. As a natural health product, spirulina plantensis is high in protein, vitamins and antioxidants – and it’s considered a superstar. When it comes to skin, research has shown that supplementing with spirulina lessens in� ammation after UV exposure and helps with its long-

term health, while promoting a healthy glow.

There are so many choices for skin care. Speak with a natural health care practitioner about which products would be best for you. Visit chfa.ca for more tips on healthy living and to � nd your closest CHFA member health food store.



Terry’s dream livesn Participants of the Terry Fox Run walk towards the starting point of the event at Blackburn Park on Sunday, Sept. 20. More than 150 people took part, raising approximately $4,575 for cancer research.

The school board has formed a committee to consider the possibility of bringing a Montessori program to the school district for future years.

This option for learning was highly supported by the Parent Advisory Council of Silver Creek Elementary, which faced closure for this school year. It was felt the Montessori learning option would attract new students to the school which, at the end of last year, had only 36 students.

The board voted against the closure in May, but has not yet agreed to implement Montessori at that school.

At the board meeting, Bobbi Johnson, board chair, indicated the report will look at the viability of Montessori in the school district, but does not necessarily mean such a program would automat-ically be considered for Silver Creek Elementary. Another school could be determined as a more suitable site.

The committee will be comprised of: Jennifer Findlay, Early Learning Co-ordinator, Jodi van der Meer, principal, Kirsten Mazur, principal, a PAC nominated parent rep, a NOSTA nominated teacher rep, school trustee Michel Saab and Carl Cooper, Director of Instruction.

Any gardener will tell you that watch-ing plants flourish through the summer is a rewarding experience and gives a great sense of accomplishment.

Healthy plants re-quire a good founda-tion, strong roots, and regular tending. Chil-dren are very similar – for them to flourish they need healthy envi-ronments, strong con-nections to family, and adults in their lives who show they care!

Classrooms and school grounds, where students spend at least 25 hours a week, are a great environment for

nourishing our chil-dren.

Along with learning the basics like read-ing and mathematics, schools provide lessons about respecting the differences in others, acting in a responsible and caring fashion, and they teach strategies to help children thrive in our ever-changing world.

Schools that promote a sense of belonging see both positive aca-demic and health-relat-ed outcomes.

The good news is that currently the major-ity of B.C. students are happy to be at school

and feel safe there.According to the

BC Adolescent Health Survey, students who reported feeling con-nected at school were more likely to describe their mental health as good or excellent and were more likely to see themselves continuing their education beyond high school.

Students who had an adult in their fam-ily they trusted if faced with a serious problem were also more likely to describe their mental health as good or ex-cellent and were more likely to have post-secondary education plans.

Approachable adults contribute to a healthy environment!

Healthy Schools BC

encourages schools to use a multi-pronged approach to create a healthy school environ-ment.

These include: cre-ating school environ-ments that are safe and caring, teaching and learning that encourag-es information-seeking and problem-solving, creating and enforc-ing school policies that encourage appropriate behaviour, and con-necting with commu-nity.

Supportive school environments encour-age youth to stay in school, graduate from high school, and give them a better chance at post-secondary educa-tion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CHASE

For those out there who wish to learn some local hockey history, the Chiefs from Kelowna were the Chase Chiefs for three years prior to transferring to the Okanagan Mecca.

From the ashes of old, the Heat arose as a new local franchise and are enjoying their fifth season in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.

This past weekend the Heat travelled on Friday the 18th to the Little Apple to take on the Chiefs. This clearly was Pancake Night at the Rutland Arena as the players that got off that bus performed as flat as pancakes.

In a mind-numbing fashion, a team showing such great early prom-ise took the night off. In the 1st, Travis Beau-bien scored assisted by Spencer Farstad, then Kelowna scored three through the next 44 minutes.

In the 3rd, rookie, Kyle Riley scored on the power play with a nice one-timer from Michael Fidanza. Then Kelowna closed things out in a 4-2 road loss. Daniel Toews went the distance between the pipes receiving little if any help from his friends.

That debacle set things up for Saturday the 19th. First off, a 3 p.m. matinee game at the Art Holding Memo-

rial Arena between two teams of rusty former KIJHL puck chasers: the Inaugural Alumni Game between the Chase Chiefs and the short bench squad of the Chase Heat. Once again a team with the moniker “Chiefs” achieved suc-cess, with the final be-ing 10-3. A great-sized crowd enjoyed their old time favourites play-ing good-times shinny. Many an exaggerated story was told after, during an indoor tail-gate party thanks to the weather.

The crowd was gen-erous as donations re-ceived at the door, plus a top up from the Heat, raised $1,000 for Chase Minor Hockey.

On Saturday night, the previous evening’s foes arrived via bus to take on the chastised Heat. This season’s roster learns quickly as an about-face occurred in performance level.

Once again, the Heat got on the board first in the 1st, with Zach-ary Fournier popping one in from Spencer Farstad and Beaubien. Less then a minute later, Logan Mostat scored unassisted. Then the Chiefs got one before Austin Willier scored from Fidanza for a 3-1 lead.

Midway in the 2nd, Fournier got his second from Tommy Brown and Braden Hughes. Penalty trouble opened the door for the visitors who scored twice on the power play to make it close 4-3.

In the 3rd Pat Brady got the fifth marker with a beautiful pass from Fidanza and Trevor Okino, and then Kelowna made it inter-esting scoring again on the powerplay with 38 seconds left. This one goes in the books as a 5-4 win for Chase.

Nic Bruyere stopped

pucks and battled crease intruders stopping 30 of 34 between the pipes.

HOT TOPICS: The Heat players and staff enjoyed three days and two nights of team bonding at Pillar Lake Resort. Campfires, fish-ing, boating, a lawn dart tournament and tasty player-prepared grub brought the team together for the wars ahead.

The unveiling of the flashy new third jersey will happen on either Friday night or Sunday afternoon. Is there a new logo?

It’s the Annual Fam-ily weekend with the locals taking on the KIJHL Champion Kimberley Dynamiters on Friday the 25th at 7 p.m., the Heat Golf Tournament on the 26th at Sunshore and then Sunday the 27th a 2 p.m. matinee versus the arch rival Kamloops Storm.

Chief, Heat alumni battle

n The inaugural Chase Chiefs vs Chase Heat Alumni game was held Sat-urday. The Chiefs Alumni Brandon Mistal looks to score and add to a four-goal lead in the third period as Chase Heat Alumni Ryan Scheidt attempts to knock him off the puck.

Cycling for young peoplen Cops for Kids riders receive a do-nation from Chase Rotary presented by president Jacquie Everett and Chase Mayor Rick Berri-gan. Those wishing to make a donation to Cops for Kids can do so at http://www.copsforkids.org/

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

On Friday Sept. 18, Cody Chase, a local Pritchard young man and a recipient of the generosity of Cops for Kids, led 21 cyclists through Chase to Haldane Elemen-tary School where they were greeted by the energetic, enthusiastic students who

cheered their entrance. Upon arrival, the Chase

Rotary Club had organized lunch with a donation from Chase Subway. After pictures and sharing of souvenirs, ev-eryone enjoyed the hot soup and sandwiches,including the students, who had hot dogs.

Rotary Club and Haldane Elementary both made gen-erous donations. The monies donated will go towards help-ing fund medical assistance to children who have challenges.

The local Chase detach-ment led by Sgt. Gary Heb-ner were also in attendance,

showing their community they care.

The riders then got back on their bikes and proceeded to Kamloops to continue their journey. If you want to make a donation, go to their website “Cops for Kids” and follow the prompts.

Warm welcome for Cops for Kids

Few runners turn out for this year’s Terry Fox FunOn Sunday, Sept. 20

Chase hosted the Ter-ry Fox Run but most people were possibly inside at home due to the inclement weather.

There were a few brave souls – nine – who remembered Terry withstanding ev-erything, including the weather, and came out to support the cancer fight by running, walk-ing, biking or pulling out some cash for their donation.

Organizer Jacquie Everett was initially disappointed with the turnout but uplifted when she added up the donations and reported more than $200 was collected.

Also, there is an in-dividual business own-er who matches the overall donation and has for nearly 20 years and has, over time, been recognized by the Terry Fox Foundation.

The help of the

RCMP, Chase Fire Rescue and Safety Mart Foods was appre-ciated.

Thanks are also due to the students and staff of Haldane who completed their Terry Fox Run on Friday, Sept. 18 at noon after they hosted the Cops for Kids cyclists.

If you still want to make a donation or purchase the 35- year T-shirt, call Jacquie at 250-675-2574.

Author featuredLocal children’s au-

thor Rachelle Horvath has written and illus-trated a book which will be featured at the Scotch Creek Library.

She will be introduc-ing her book, “Come On Little One, Let’s Go See Grandma In The Garden Planting A Seed,” during story time on Oct. 24 at 11 a.m.

She has lived in the North Shuswap since

2009, spending most of her free time in her garden. Horvath has always had a love for gardening and has worked with children through much of her career, but it is only since becoming a grandmother that she has been able to com-bine the two. Her tools started as a hoe and a rake, but have evolved to include a camera, some crayons and a computer keyboard.

Hey Everyone! I trust that you all had as great a week as myself! It was full of excite-ment at Village Lanes once again this past week, with amazing bowling, lots of laughs, and a Gender Reveal Party?!? For those of you who haven’t yet heard the big news, Kelly and I are expecting our � rst baby in January! We had all of our family, friends, and bowlers share the experience with us, and we learned that we will be having our-selves a little baby girl. Look out world!! Now – in BOWLING news! Men of Chase have � gured this sport out! Bill Pacholok once again lit up the lanes with a 335 sin-gle, and a whopping 818 triple. Peter Van-hoof has realized that golf season is nearing an end, and it’s showing in his bowling – he had a great night on Monday, shooting a 748 triple! Way to go “PERTER”! And last but certainly not least, Terry Echlin threw a 740 on Wednesday night! Even more exciting – we had a brand new bowler representing the ladies this week, congrats Barb Price on your 230 game!! Our Club 55+ Ladies had a great week! Congratulations Joanne Adam-son on your 287 game, and to Susan Niessen on your 661 triple! Tom Horner led the way this week for the Club 55+ Men, shooting a 715 triple, AND winning 10% of the Strike it Rich Jackpot, along with Mitch Wells from our Friday night league! Youth leagues went great this week, a turnout of about 30 or so kids! Thanks for coming out guys! Kallan Krause was the top dog this week, averaging a 190 for her three games. Way to go girl! I hope that you all have a great weekend, and we will chat next week! Until then…cheers!

Katherine JohnsonJan 28, 1928 ~ Sept 15, 2015

Johnson, Katherine passed away peacefully at the Comox Valley Se-niors Village on September 15, 2015.She was predeceased by Husband Arthur Johnson in 2003, and by par-ents Jacob and Sara (nee Enns) Martens.Her siblings; Sister Erna (George deceased) Thiessen, Brothers Henry (deceased) and wife Anne still alive, Jake (Sarah) and John (Su-san), Brother-in-law Roy Johnson (Minnie) and one Daughter Verna (Wayne) Llemky.The light of her life – grandson, Brad McEwen whom she looked after every summer during his growing up years. Several other special grand-children and great grandchildren. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews who we were very close to in our younger years.Kay was born in Graysville, Manitoba. The family resided there until she was about 15 when they moved to the beautiful Fraser Valley. The family struggled and worked very hard in the depression and they all became quite successful because they are all hard working, caring and gener-ous folks. Mom graduated from MEI in Abbotsford. She then took her nursing degree at Royal Columbian Hospital and graduated in 1951. She took on her fi rst job in Cranbrook and met and married Art there. Mom worked in many towns in British Columbia, mostly in the OR and ER until she retired at 65. She took a brief hiatus from nursing to own a fl orist shop in Revelstoke where there was only shift work in the hospital and she could not adjust to that so dad bought her a business. She kept a very strong connection with her nursing classmates for most of her life. Mom spent her whole life helping others. After she retired, she imme-diately started volunteering for Hospice on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake where there were no doctors. In 1996, mom and dad moved to Co-mox to be closer to us. As soon as she got here, she volunteered at the Filberg Lodge. Mom also looked after my dad for 10 years of ill health and when he passed away in 2003, she moved to live next to St. Josephs General Hospital. She fed the residents every day at lunch and dinner for several years. She was enjoying life to the fullest with walking, knitting, taking in plays with friends and helping in the hospital. So sadly, that fun time of her life was very short. She was run over by a car when she was in a crosswalk and was never able to live independently again. After long months of rehab, mom lived in Berwick for several years. When she was needing more help, she moved over to the Comox Val-ley Seniors’ Village. In both residences, the staff and other residents became like a family to mom and to her daughter as well. Kay’s fam-ily would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the residents and staff in both buildings she lived for their caring and sharing. Mom had her own family “care giver” at CVSV that was the epitome of perfection at her profession. Mom fought through many serious illnesses and accidents in her life and never complained but she fi nally just got tired of being so tough. Two very special ladies helped her through this phase, taking her for drives and walks and ice cream. They gave mom many wonderful hours of enjoyment. She was very fortunate to have Eda and Anne as friends.Kay did not like to be in the limelight or have any fanfare for her. There-fore, the family will respect her wishes that there be no service. She will be cremated and her ashes will join her husband and other family members. Donations to the charity of your choice in her name would be greatly appreciated.

Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’! Only you older folks will remember the Rawhide TV show, but this was the best way for me to do my business. Buy a car, sell a car, keep those doggies moving! And, if a buyer found out about the prob-lems I’d hidden? Too late, I’d already hit the trail! And my cell-phone? Pick a num-ber, any number!

After rolling my way through the communities of the Th ompson, the Okana-gan was perfect. More cities where I could buy, sell and run. So I settled into my RV in a campground by the lake and

searched the web for invento-ry. It’s easy to turn junkers into cash when you’re willing to lie.

I also looked at my tired old RV. I knew I wouldn’t need it during the winter in the Lower Mainland. And, who wouldn’t want to make a wad of cash while on va-cation instead of spending it? So I spent some time giv-ing it a good scrub

down and upgrading the tires. Made it look real nice.

But, it had way too many ki-lometers on it. It had defi nite-ly crossed the Prairies a few times. Th en again, who needs

to know? I didn’t think twice as I rolled the odometer just a tad to hide some of that trail dust. In typical curber fash-ion, I left no traces of what I’d done. To a trusting buyer, I was giving them a great deal! Like making a silk purse from a sow’s ear…

As always, lady luck was on my side. I met an older cou-ple in the campground where I was staying. Th ey told me a

sad story about their trailer – apparently, they bought it off a private seller before coming on vacation. Just a month lat-er, the electrical system was failing. Th ey’d been trapped for a week trying to track down the seller and fi nd their way home. Th eir crisis was my opportunity!

I played the friendly next-door neighbour. I could help them with the perfect RV to

get them home safely. I even gave them a “special price.” Two for one! Two for me, that is, and some cash! Th ey were thrilled. Th e lady even gave me some mighty tasty peaches as a thank-you for saving their va-cation. A little spit and polish, some electrical trickery and I had two vehicles to sell. Th eir old pickup and their trailer! I could ride my scooter home if I needed to.

It’s a good thing they didn’t learn from their fi rst experi-ence! Th ey didn’t think to call a licensed RV dealer for help they could trust. Didn’t ask for a vehicle history report, like CarProof. Didn’t spot the rust. As the young Clint Eastwood would say, I’d be livin’ high and wide at the end of my ride! But fi rst, I needed to go for a swim and then stop at that fi ne look-ing winery up the road.

Will Walt Sink or Swim in the Okanagan?FEATURE PROMOTION

“When Walt says, “It’s

a real bargain!” He means,

“If you ignore the upaid lien.”

Deciding between buying privately or from a licensed dealer? Buying from a private seller might have one perceived benefi t – lower price. But, even that can disappear when look-ing at the risks, especially if the private seller is actually a curb-er – an unlicensed dealer inten-tionally breaking all the rules.

Unlike private sellers, li-censed dealers must be trans-parent in their selling practic-es. Th is means they must sell vehicles in a clear and open manner while standing behind any representations they make. Dealers can’t withhold infor-mation that would cause errors in judgment about whether or not to buy the vehicle.

Licenced dealers must also follow strict selling standards. Only licensed salespeople who pass a background check and a certifi cation course are allowed to sell vehicles. Dealers must declare prior out-of-province registrations and vehicle uses (if it was a lease, rental, taxi

or emergency vehicle). Prior damage, above certain limits, must also be disclosed before purchase. And, licensed dealers are obligated to sell vehicles that meet all safety require-ments and are free of unpaid liens.

As part of being licensed, dealers contribute to a cus-tomer compensation fund that regularly settles eligible claims around the province. Dealers also off er extra services and savings such as fi nancing and warranty options. And, there’s a sales tax advantage when trading-in a vehicle at a deal-er. Licensed dealers make an investment in their staff , op-erations, reputation and their community.

Curbers escape doing any of the above. And, the Vehicle Sales Authority can assist only with purchases from licensed dealers. If something goes wrong with a private sale, you’re on your own. Learn more at the vehiclesalesauthority.com.

Curbers may get junk cars and sell them from parking lots while posing as private sellers. They advertise through local newspapers and online ads. They may not disclose the vehicle history to the buyer, hiding serious accident

damage or even a rolled back odometer. Licensed dealers are required by law to sell safe, lien-free vehicles and disclose vehicle histories. If you buy from Walt, you have none of the protections of buying from a licensed dealer.

Curbers are individuals and businesses selling vehicles for profit without a licence
